Astec Backlog Jumps 22.5% to $514.1M; CWMF Deal Adds $50M Revenue
Astec Industries ended 2025 with a consolidated backlog of $514.1 million, up 22.5% year-over-year, while parts sales grew 11.5% annually and 19.7% in Q4, representing 30.7% of total sales. Strategic acquisitions—TerraSource contributed $84.7 million and the CWMF deal adds $50 million in revenues—boost growth.
1. Infrastructure Demand and Backlog Growth
Astec Industries is benefiting from sustained public funding for highways and bridges, driving robust demand for asphalt and concrete plants. Consolidated backlog ended 2025 at $514.1 million, marking a 22.5% year-over-year increase and improving visibility into future shipments.
2. Aftermarket Parts Sales Trends
Durable aftermarket demand supported an 11.5% rise in parts sales for 2025 and a 19.7% gain in the fourth quarter, with parts representing 30.7% of total sales. A growing installed base and enhanced service levels are fostering recurring revenue streams that mitigate order timing volatility.
3. Balance Sheet Strength and Liquidity
Astec’s financial flexibility remains strong with year-end liquidity of approximately $314.7 million and net debt to adjusted EBITDA at 2.0x, within its target range. This balance sheet position underpins operational initiatives and potential expansion opportunities.
4. Strategic Acquisitions Fuel Revenue
Targeted deals added over $200 million in annual revenues during 2025, including TerraSource’s $84.7 million contribution. The January 2026 acquisition of CWMF for $67.5 million cash brings $50 million in annual revenues and is expected to be earnings-accretive with synergies by year end.
