Record Revenue and Cash from Operations
The company generated record revenues of over $560 million, an increase of 5.6% from the previous year, driven by acquisitions and steady performance of existing business units. Cash from operating activities also reached a record high of over $100 million.
Successful Acquisition Strategy
Acquisitions, particularly the Cole Group, contributed $66.4 million in incremental revenue, highlighting the effectiveness of Mullen Group's acquisition strategy in expanding their network and service offerings.
Strong Balance Sheet and Liquidity
The company closed a $400 million private placement debt offering, resulting in a well-structured balance sheet with $286 million in working capital and $151 million in cash on hand, providing ample liquidity for future growth and acquisitions.
Improved Operating Margins in Certain Segments
The S&I segment saw an increase in operating margins to 22.5% from 21.6% due to demarketing low-margin businesses and cost control measures.
