Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call emphasized strong, broad-based growth: record backlog, double-digit EBITDA growth, margin expansion to 19.1%, and multiple high-growth end markets (Power & Energy, data centers, water, advanced manufacturing). While management flagged short-term items (timing-related cash inflows, slightly elevated leverage after TRC, integration/reorg costs and localized softness in New Zealand), these were presented as manageable and temporary versus the demonstrated revenue, backlog and margin momentum. The positives materially outweigh the near-term execution and timing challenges.
Company Guidance
Management reiterated an upgraded 2026 financial outlook, now targeting net revenue of $16.2–$17.0 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $3.10–$3.18 billion, with Q3 2026 guidance of $4.15–$4.35 billion net revenue and $850–$890 million adjusted EBITDA; acquisition integration and reorganization costs are now expected to be $285–$305 million. They reiterated the 2025–2027 ambition of a 19–20% adjusted EBITDA margin (saying a path exists to reach that as early as 2026) after reporting Q2 adjusted EBITDA of $815 million (up ~29% YoY) and a Q2 margin of 19.1% (their best Q2 ever), adjusted net earnings of $389 million ($2.88/share, +23% YoY) and net revenue growth of ~23% (organic net revenue +5% in Q2). Backlog hit a record $20.1 billion (11.6 months of revenue), up ~23% YoY with 12‑month organic backlog growth of 5.7%; TRC hard and soft backlog were up ~30%/35% YoY. Cash metrics cited include trailing 12‑month free cash flow of $1.4 billion (1.5x net earnings), six‑month free cash flow of $255 million, operating cash inflows of $554 million for the six months, DSO of 71 days, and management expects leverage (currently slightly above target after TRC) to return to target by year‑end.
Strong Top-Line Growth
Net revenue increased ~23% year-over-year (revenues up ~20% YoY) and organic net revenue growth reached 5% for the quarter, with every reportable segment contributing; roughly $800 million of net revenues were added YoY (23%) largely from strategic acquisitions.
Record Backlog and Accelerating Pipeline
Backlog reached a record ~$20.1 billion (up ~23% over 12 months) with organic backlog growth of 5.7% over the last 12 months; U.S. soft backlog reached ~$10 billion and is ~9% higher versus Q1 2026, with top 20 opportunities >$4 billion in potential revenue.
Margin Expansion and Profitability
Adjusted EBITDA grew ~29% YoY to $815 million (from $633 million), and adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 90 basis points to 19.1%, the best Q2 margin since IPO; adjusted net earnings were $389 million or $2.88/share (up $82 million or $0.53/share, +23% YoY).
Power & Energy Momentum
Power & Energy delivered another quarter of double-digit organic growth; global net revenues from top 40 power clients rose 30% YoY, U.S. net revenues and hard backlog from top 40 power clients increased 15% and 20% YoY respectively, and TRC’s hard and soft backlog rose ~30% and ~35% YoY.
Data Centers and Advanced Manufacturing Growth
Data center revenues grew >20% YoY in H1 2026 and the sales pipeline is ~30% higher than a year ago; advanced manufacturing backlog increased 29% YoY with revenue growth >20% YoY.
Regional Strength — Canada & EMEIA
Canada delivered 5.1% organic growth and backlog growth of 14.2% YoY, with strong demand across defense, mining, Power & Energy and nuclear; EMEIA posted 8.1% organic net revenue growth and organic backlog growth of 10.4%.
Improved Cash Generation and Strong FCF
Trailing 12-month free cash flow was $1.4 billion (1.5x net earnings); free cash flow for the 6-month period was $255 million and management expects cash conversion in line with historical seasonality once timing effects are normalized.
Reiterated and Upgraded Outlook
Management reiterated its 2026 outlook with increased net revenue and adjusted EBITDA ranges: net revenue $16.2B–$17B and adjusted EBITDA $3.1B–$3.18B; Q3 2026 net revenue guidance $4.15B–$4.35B and adjusted EBITDA guidance $850M–$890M.
