The earnings call presented a mixed outlook with positive growth in net sales and precast segments, but challenges in SPP revenue and increased operational costs due to trade policies and SG&A expenses. Despite these challenges, there is optimism for the future with significant backlog recovery and strong order books.

Company Guidance -

Q2 2025

During the Northwest Pipe Company's first quarter 2025 earnings call, the company provided detailed guidance on several key financial metrics, despite initial challenges. Net sales reached $116.1 million, a 2.6% increase over the previous year, driven by a strong performance in the precast segment, which saw a 13.4% revenue increase to $37.7 million. However, the Steel Pressure Pipe (SPP) segment faced a 2% revenue decline to $78.4 million due to adverse weather conditions and new trade policies. This led to shipment delays and a decrease in backlog from $310 million at the end of 2024 to $289 million as of March 31, 2025. The company is optimistic about the year ahead, citing a current intra-quarter backlog exceeding $300 million, indicating a rebound in bidding activity. The precast order book improved to $64 million, reflecting strong demand in both the residential and growing non-residential sectors. Gross profit was $19.4 million, with the SPP and precast segments reporting gross margins of 15.5% and 19.1%, respectively. Despite challenges, the company anticipates improved margins and revenues for the second quarter of 2025, consistent with 2024 levels in the second half, while continuing to focus on strategic acquisitions and operational efficiencies.
