What improved

  • Revenue increased 21.1% versus the comparable filing period.
  • Operating margin improved 0.9 percentage points.
  • Net income increased 31.6% versus the comparable filing period.

What weakened

No thresholded deterioration was identified.

Filing receipts

The pro forma results include certain adjustments, primarily due to increases in interest expense due to additional borrowings incurred to finance the acquisition and amortization of debt issuance costs and depreciation and amortization expense.

This was primarily due to a $3.6 million increase in direct labor expenses as a result of the higher revenue noted above, partially offset by a decrease in cost of parts utilized to support our operations.

This increase was mainly driven by higher revenues from station construction services and incremental customer-requested services and materials, partially offset by a decline in field service revenue resulting from lower demand for third-party field service work and logistics.
