Gencor’s Q2 net revenue declined 11.5% to $33.8 million, while gross profit margin rose to 31.7% from 29.7%, lifting operating income 10.4% to $7.2 million. The company’s backlog surged to $60.5 million from $27.8 million, supported by ongoing IIJA funding flows.
1. Financial Highlights
Net revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 totaled $33.8 million, down 11.5% from $38.2 million a year earlier, primarily due to timing of contract equipment orders and associated freight revenues. Gross profit margin improved 200 basis points to 31.7% and operating income rose 10.4% to $7.16 million, driven by lower SG&A expenses.
2. Liquidity and Backlog
At March 31, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities reached $155.1 million, up from $136.3 million at September 30, 2025, with no short- or long-term debt. Net working capital stood at $207.4 million and backlog more than doubled to $60.5 million from $27.8 million year-over-year, underpinned by continued Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding.
3. Management Commentary and Outlook
Leadership noted that a delayed start to the season impacted asphalt plant orders, but strong manufacturing execution and cost management drove margin gains. With a record backlog entering Q3, the company anticipates sustainable performance through the remainder of fiscal 2026 and into fiscal 2027.
