Nuclear Power and SMR Momentum
Nuclear & Safety revenue was $186M, up 39% year-over-year. Nuclear power orders (excluding M&A) grew 15% in Q1 and nuclear power revenue (excluding M&A) increased 4% despite a tough comp; SMR orders booked ~ $15M in Q1 and a $35M SMR award in April. SMR-related revenue represents ~2% of total revenue and is expected to exceed 3% by year-end.
Medical Segment Recovery and Key Wins
Medical revenue was $72M, up 5% year-over-year with ~4% organic growth. RTQA posted double-digit organic growth driven by software strength and a large radiation-tolerant camera order tied to the Varian partnership; nuclear medicine remains on track for double-digit organic revenue growth in 2026.
Capital Allocation and Cash Generation
Company used ~$16M of its $100M share repurchase program in Q1 to buy ~700k shares. Adjusted free cash flow was $11M in Q1 (noted as seasonally light); management expects stronger cash generation in later quarters and remains on track for full-year adjusted free cash flow guidance.
Guidance and Near-Term Outlook
2026 guidance remained unchanged (small EPS adjustment for a one-time CEO retention grant). Management expects Q2 orders to be 15%–20% higher sequentially, consolidated Q2 organic revenue growth in the low single digits, and relatively flat consolidated adjusted EBITDA margins versus Q2 2025 (with legacy Nuclear & Safety margins expanding if Paragon excluded).
Strong Order Growth
Total orders increased 42% year-over-year to $288M including Paragon and CertRec; orders excluding M&A grew 19% to $241M. Company won $50M of large opportunity orders in Q1 and an additional $35M SMR-related order in April.
Backlog Expansion
Backlog reached $1.1B, up 38% including M&A and 19% excluding M&A, representing a step change after back-to-back strong Q4 and Q1 order quarters and providing multi-quarter revenue visibility.
Revenue and Organic Growth
Consolidated Q1 revenue was $258M, up 28% year-over-year. Organic revenue growth was 3%, in line with guidance and expectations.
Adjusted EBITDA and EPS Improvement
Q1 adjusted EBITDA was $54M, an increase of 16% versus prior year. Adjusted EPS was $0.10 for the quarter (would have been $0.08 under prior methodology).
Paragon and CertRec Acquisition Momentum
Paragon contributed meaningfully to orders and revenue (Paragon first-quarter revenue grew ~45%). M&A added roughly $43M (Paragon) and $47M combined (Paragon + CertRec) to orders in the quarter. Early commercial synergies produced incremental order wins and cross-sell opportunities.
