NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Reporting for Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CECO Environmental Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “CECO,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2025 and the results of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”). Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current period.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Form 10-K.

Unless otherwise indicated, all balances within tables are in thousands, except per share amounts.

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite life intangible asset activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024 was as follows:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments related to the acquisitions of WK Germany KG, GmbH and WK Asia-Pacific Pte. Ltd. (collectively, "WK Group") and Verantis Environmental Solutions Group ("Verantis"), as discussed in Note 15, resulting in increases to goodwill as of the acquisition dates of $10.5 million and $10.3 million, respectively. These adjustments relate to working capital and the associated tax balances. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of Profire Energy, Inc. ("Profire"), as discussed in Note 15, and its divestiture of its Fluid Handling business, also known as its Global Pump Solutions business, as discussed in Note 16.

Finite life intangible assets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of the following:

10

Finite life intangible asset activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

Amortization expense of finite life intangible assets was $6.1 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $12.2 million and $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Amortization over the next five years for finite life intangibles is expected to be $4.3 million for the remainder of 2025, $16.3 million in 2026, $15.4 million in 2027, $14.5 million in 2028, $12.8 million in 2029, and $40.5 million thereafter. The weighted average amortization periods for finite life intangible assets was 8.1 years as of September 30, 2025, inclusive of weighted average amortization periods for technology, customer lists, and tradenames of 5.9, 8.5, and 7.5 years, respectively.

Annually during the fourth quarter, or more often as circumstances require, the Company completes an impairment assessment of its goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets at the reporting unit level. As a part of its annual assessment, the Company first qualitatively assesses whether current events or changes in circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not, defined as a likelihood of more than 50 percent, that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If there is a qualitative determination that the fair value of a particular reporting unit is more likely than not greater than its carrying value, the Company does not need to quantitatively test for impairment for that reporting unit. If this qualitative assessment indicates a more likely than not potential that the asset may be impaired, the estimated fair value is determined using a weighting of the income method and the market method. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded.

Additionally, property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment. If events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment, the impairment review is based on an undiscounted cash flows analysis at the lowest level at which cash flows of the long-lived assets are largely independent of other groups of assets and liabilities. When impairment is indicated, the estimated future cash flows are then discounted to determine the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group and an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value.

The Company did not identify any triggering events that would require an interim impairment assessment, or record an impairment of goodwill, indefinite life intangible assets, finite life intangible assets or property, plant and equipment during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The Company’s assumptions about future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment are subject to uncertainty, and the Company will continue to monitor these conditions in future periods as new information becomes available, and will update its analysis accordingly.

Interest on Base Rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and at maturity. Interest on Term SOFR rate loans is payable on the last date of each applicable Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement), but in no event less than once every three months and at maturity.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility may also be guaranteed by the Company’s material foreign subsidiaries to the extent no adverse tax consequences would result to the Company.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all related financial and other restrictive covenants under the Credit Facility.

The computational components of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

The computational components of basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

Options and restricted stock units included in the computation of diluted earnings per share are calculated using the treasury stock method. For each of the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, zero, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 0.3 million and 0.1 million, respectively, of outstanding options and restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their having an anti-dilutive effect.

Once a restricted stock unit vests, it is included in the computation of weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Common Stock Repurchase

On May 10, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company was able to purchase up to $20.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock through April 30, 2025. The authorization permitted the Company to repurchase shares in the open market, through accelerated share repurchases, block trades, Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

The plan was funded in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Company presents the components of net periodic benefit cost within “Other (income) expense, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Retirement plan expense is based on valuations performed by plan actuaries as of the beginning of each fiscal year. The components of the pension plan expense consisted of the following:

The Company made no contributions to its defined benefit plan during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $0.9 million and $1.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The plan assets balance of $0.4 million as of December 31, 2024 is included in “Deferred charges and other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. On March 31, 2025, the pension plan was transferred to the purchaser of the Global Pump Solutions business, as discussed in Note 16.

12. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in various federal, state and local jurisdictions. Tax years from 2021 forward remain open for examination by Federal authorities. Tax years from 2018 forward remain open for all significant state and foreign authorities.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the liability for uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, which is included in “Other liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions and penalties, if any, in income tax expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Certain of the Company’s undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are not permanently reinvested. Since foreign earnings have already been subject to United States income tax in 2017 as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company intends to repatriate foreign-held cash as needed. The Company records deferred income tax attributable to foreign withholding taxes that would become payable should it decide to repatriate cash held in our foreign operations. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded deferred income taxes of approximately $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, on the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries.

Income tax expense was $0.5 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $23.6 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 21.1% compared with 38.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 32.8% compared with 21.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 differ from the United States federal statutory rate. The Company's effective rate is affected by certain other permanent differences, including the gain on the sale of the Global Pump Solutions business, state income taxes, non-deductible incentive stock-based compensation and differences in tax rates among jurisdictions in which it operates.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting published the Pillar Two model rules designed to address the tax challenges arising from the digitalization of the global economy which introduces a 15% global minimum corporate tax for companies with revenues above €750 million calculated on

15

a country-by-country basis. On February 1, 2023, the FASB indicated that it believes the minimum tax imposed under Pillar Two is an alternative minimum tax, and, accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the minimum tax would not be recognized or adjusted for the estimated future effects of the minimum tax but would be recognized in the period incurred. Aspects of Pillar Two legislation have been enacted in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates effective for accounting periods commencing on or after January 1, 2024. However, based on the current revenue threshold, the Company is currently not subject to Pillar Two taxes.

On July 4, 2025, the legislation HR-1, known as One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”), was signed into law. The Act makes several changes to United States tax law, including the limitation on deductibility of interest expense, the capitalization of research expenditures, the allowance of immediate expensing of capital expenditures, and the taxation of foreign earnings. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Company recorded the impact of the Act in the third quarter of 2025. When calculating the impact, the Company made the election to fully accelerate all domestic Section 174 Expensing into 2025. The Company has considered the change in interest expense limitation calculation but notes that the Company had sufficient interest expense capacity prior to the change due to the new legislation. Additionally, the Company has assumed an estimate for the assumption that 100% bonus depreciation is being taken on estimated capital expenditures for 2025.

13. Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash and cash equivalents, receivables and certain other assets, notes payable, foreign debt and accounts payable, which approximate fair value at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, due to their short-term nature or variable, market-driven interest rates.

The fair value of the debt issued under the Credit Facility and joint venture term loan was $222.4 million and $221.5 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value was determined considering market conditions, the Company's credit worthiness and the current terms of our debt, which is considered Level 2 on the fair value hierarchy.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $32.8 million and $37.8 million, respectively, of which $25.4 million and $29.7 million, respectively, was held outside of the United States, principally in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, and China.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Asbestos cases

Beginning in 2002, the Company's subsidiary Met-Pro Technologies LLC (“Met-Pro”), relative to its former Dean Pump division, has been named in asbestos-related lawsuits filed against a large number of industrial companies including, in particular, those in the pump and fluid handling industries. While the Company divested of its fluid handling business (also known as its Global Pump Solutions business) in the first quarter of 2025, as discussed in Note 16, the Company retained historical asbestos liabilities and the related legacy insurance policies. In management’s opinion, the complaints typically have been vague, general and speculative, alleging that Met-Pro, along with the numerous other defendants, sold asbestos-containing products and engaged in other related actions which caused injuries (including mesothelioma and death) and loss to the plaintiffs. The Company’s insurers have hired attorneys who, together with the Company, are vigorously defending these cases. Many cases have been dismissed after the plaintiff fails to identify or produce evidence of exposure to Met-Pro’s products. In those cases, where evidence has been produced, the Company’s experience has been that the exposure levels are low and the Company’s position has been that its products were not a cause of death, injury or loss. The Company has been dismissed from a large number of these cases, with a small number of these dismissals resulting in immaterial settlements. The Company records accruals within "Accrued expenses" and "Other liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for estimated losses associated with these settlements.

The Company also presently believes that none of the pending cases will have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Other

The Company is also a party to routine contract and employment-related litigation matters, warranty claims and routine audits of state and local tax returns arising in the ordinary course of its business.

16

The final outcome and impact of open matters, and related claims and investigations that may be brought in the future, are subject to many variables, and cannot be predicted. The Company records accruals within "Accrued expenses" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for estimated losses relating to claims and lawsuits when available information indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

The Company is not aware of any pending claims or assessments, other than as described above, which may have a material adverse impact on its liquidity, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The acquisitions disclosed above, with the exception of EnviroCare, are subject to final adjustment, primarily for the valuation of intangible assets pending final valuation results for such assets and tax balances for the further assessment of the acquiree’s tax positions. These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the purchase price measurement period as the Company finalizes the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These changes could result in material variances in the Company's future financial results, including variances in the estimated purchase price, fair values recorded and expenses associated with these items.

Goodwill recognized represents value the Company expects to be created by combining the various operations of the acquired businesses with the Company’s operations, including the expansion into markets within existing business segments, access to new customers and potential cost savings and synergies. Goodwill related to these acquisitions is not deductible for tax purposes.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Market Pressures

The senior management team monitors and manages the Company's ability to operate effectively as the result of market pressures. Against the current backdrop of a rapidly evolving global commercial environment, we believe we are comparatively well-positioned as we execute and manufacture a majority of our business in the same regions in which we sell, with our cost and revenue bases largely aligned as a result. Recently, international trade has been impacted by geopolitical tariff considerations. To mitigate potential tariff-related impacts, we have worked strategically with customers and suppliers to optimize terms and pricing, sourcing locations, and logistics routes and schedules. While we will continue to take a proactive approach on our efforts to mitigate the impacts of tariffs, our business and results could be adversely affected by further policy developments. Additionally, we are currently experiencing shortages of raw materials and inflationary pressures for certain materials and labor. We have secured raw materials from existing and alternate suppliers and have taken other mitigating actions to mitigate supply disruptions; however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to continue to do so in the future. If we are unable to continue to mitigate the effects of these supply disruptions and/or inflationary pressures, our business, results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These GAAP financial statements include certain charges the Company believes are not indicative of its core ongoing operational performance.

As a result, the Company provides financial information in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis that was not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company provides this non-GAAP financial information because the Company’s management utilizes it to evaluate its ongoing financial performance and the Company believes it provides greater transparency to investors as supplemental information to its GAAP results.

The Company has provided the non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin as a result of items that the Company believes are not indicative of its ongoing operations. These include transactions associated with the Company’s acquisitions, divestiture, and the items described below in “Consolidated Results.” The Company believes that these items are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations and their exclusion provides individuals with additional information to better compare the Company's results over multiple periods. The Company utilizes this information to evaluate its ongoing financial performance. The Company has incurred substantial expense and income associated with acquisitions. While the Company cannot predict the exact timing or amounts of such charges, it does expect to treat the financial impact of these transactions as special items in its future presentation of non-GAAP results.

Results of Operations

Consolidated Results

Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

To compare operating performance between the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company has adjusted GAAP operating income to exclude (1) amortization of intangible assets, (2) acquisition and integration expenses, which include legal, accounting, and other expenses, (3) gain on the sale of the Global Pump Solutions business as discussed in Note 16, and (4) other non-recurring expenses, including fair value adjustment of earn-out liabilities from the acquisitions of WK Group, restructuring expenses primarily relating to severance, facility exits, and associated legal expenses, asbestos litigation expenses relating to future settlement payments, and third party professional consulting fees associated with Enterprise Resource Planning system implementations.

The following table presents the reconciliation of GAAP operating income and GAAP operating margin to non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin:

Orders booked increased $70.6 million, or 44%, to $232.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $162.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, inclusive of organic growth of 33%, as defined as the change in orders excluding the impact of orders recorded in the twelve month period subsequent to acquisition dates and orders from the GPS business, which was divested in the first quarter of 2025. The orders increase is primarily attributable to the Company's energy and power businesses as well as international industrial water projects.

27

Orders booked increased $286.7 million, or 64%, to $735.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $448.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, inclusive of organic growth of 53%. The orders increase is primarily attributable to the Company's energy and power technologies. Investments in energy infrastructure and growth in midstream and downstream markets have resulted in increased demand for emissions, separation, and acoustics products. Additionally, the Company has seen increased demand for its wet scrubbers and industrial fan technologies as well as international industrial water applications in produced water and wastewater.

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased $62.1 million, or 45.8%, to $197.6 million compared with $135.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, inclusive of organic growth of 35%, as defined as the change in orders excluding the impact of orders recorded in the twelve month period subsequent to acquisition dates and orders from the GPS business, which was divested in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in organic revenue is driven by significant order intake in the preceding quarters which led to a record backlog position. The Company also executed on customer projects and progressed its respective projects per contractual commitments, without any materially significant delays observed. The remainder of the increase in net sales is attributable to the Company's recent acquisitions.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased $160.3 million, or 40.1%, to $559.7 million compared with $399.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, inclusive of organic growth of 24%. The increase in organic revenue is driven by significant order intake in the preceding quarters which led to a record backlog position. The Company was also able to recover from revenue project delays that adversely impacted the Company in prior periods driven by customer’s catching up to the project schedules. The remainder of the increase in net sales is attributable to the Company's recent acquisitions.

Gross profit increased $19.3 million, or 42.6%, to $64.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $45.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume as described above. Gross profit as a percentage of sales slightly decreased to 32.7% in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with 33.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease is attributable to project mix within industrial solutions end markets.

Gross profit increased $54.4 million, or 39.0%, to $193.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $139.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to the increase in sales volume as described above. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was flat at 34.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 34.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Selling and administrative expenses were $47.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $34.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to increased headcount resources to support the Company’s growing pipeline of opportunities as well as additional capabilities to support backlog execution and functional support. Additionally, acquisitions during the current and prior year drove increased selling and administrative expense.

Selling and administrative expenses were $149.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $105.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to increased headcount resources to support the Company’s growing pipeline of opportunities as well as additional capabilities to support backlog execution and functional support. Additionally, acquisitions during the current and prior year drove increased selling and administrative expense.

Amortization expense was $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in expense is attributable to increased intangible assets attributable to current and prior year acquisitions.

Amortization expense was $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in expense is attributable to increased intangible assets attributable to current and prior year acquisitions.

Operating income increased $2.2 million to $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with operating income of $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in operating income is primarily attributable to the fair value adjustment to the earn-out liability associated with the acquisition of WK Group, as well as the increase in gross profit described above.

Operating income increased $65.2 million to $89.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with operating income of $24.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in operating income is primarily attributable to the gain on the sale of the Global Pump Solutions business and fair value adjustment to the earn-out liability associated with the acquisition of WK Group, partially offset by the increase in selling and administrative expenses described above.

28

Non-GAAP operating income was $17.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of sales increased to 8.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 from 8.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP operating income was $44.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $33.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Non-GAAP operating income as a percentage of sales was flat at 8% for the both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Interest expense increased to $5.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with interest expense of $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to increased debt balances.

Interest expense increased to $16.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with interest expense of $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to increased debt balances.

Income tax expense was $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with income tax expense of $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Income tax expense was $23.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with income tax expense of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was 21.1% compared with 38.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 32.8% compared with 21.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 differ from the United States federal statutory rate. Our effective tax rate is affected by other permanent differences, including the gain on the sale of the Global Pump Solutions business, state income taxes, non-deductible incentive stock-based compensation, and differences in tax rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Operating income for the Industrial Process Solutions segment decreased $3.9 million to $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to the fair value adjustment to the earn-out liability associated with the acquisition of WK Group, as well as the increase in gross profit driven by the net sales increase described above.

Operating income for the Industrial Process Solutions segment increased $68.2 million to $89.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with $20.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to the gain on the sale of the Global Pump Solutions business and fair value adjustment to the earn-out liability associated with the acquisition of WK Group.

Backlog

Backlog (i.e., unfulfilled or remaining performance obligations) represents the sales we expect to recognize for our products and services for which control has not yet transferred to the customer. Backlog increased to $719.6 million as of September 30, 2025, from $540.9 million as of December 31, 2024. Our customers may have the right to cancel a given order. Historically, cancellations have not been significant. Backlog is adjusted on a quarterly basis for adjustments in foreign currency exchange rates. Substantially all backlog is expected to be delivered within 12 to 30 months. Backlog is not defined by GAAP and our methodology for calculating backlog may not be consistent with methodologies used by other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

When we undertake large jobs, our working capital objective is to make these projects self-funding. We work to achieve this by obtaining customer advanced payments, structuring our contracts with progress billing provisions, when possible, utilizing extended payment terms from material suppliers, and paying sub-contractors after payment from our customers, which is an industry practice. Our investment in working capital is funded by cash flows from operations and by our revolving line of credit under our Credit Facility (as defined below).

At September 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of $97.2 million, compared with $86.3 million at December 31, 2024. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.33 to 1.00 on September 30, 2025, as compared with a ratio of 1.35 to 1.00 on December 31, 2024.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents totaled $32.8 million and $37.8 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $25.4 million and $29.7 million, respectively, of our cash and cash equivalents were held by certain foreign subsidiaries, as well as being denominated in foreign currencies.

Debt consisted of the following:

Credit Facility

Overview of Cash Flows and Liquidity

Operating Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, $4.1 million of cash was used in operating activities compared with $23.0 million provided by operations in the prior year period, representing a decrease of $27.1 million. Cash flows from operating activities in the first nine months of 2025 had an unfavorable impact year-over-year primarily due to timing of project-related payments.

Investing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $1.5 million compared with $26.2 million used in investing activities in the prior year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company received $107.8 million related to the sale of the Global Pump Solutions business as discussed in Note 16, offset by $97.6 million used in the acquisition of Profire as discussed in Note 15. In the prior year period, $26.2 million cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of the purchase of EnviroCare and acquisitions of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, $2.8 million was used in financing activities compared with $14.5 million used in financing activities in the prior year period, for an increase of $11.7 million. The increase was driven by $5.0 million in common stock repurchases and $1.7 million of earn-out payments in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that did not recur in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as well as $5.1 million decrease in net debt repayments.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management believes there have been no changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to the items that the Company disclosed as its critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks, primarily changes in interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. For the Company, these exposures are primarily related to changes in interest rates. We do not currently hold any derivatives or other financial instruments purely for trading or speculative purposes.

The carrying value of the Company’s total long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt at September 30, 2025 was $222.4 million. Market risk was estimated as the potential decrease (increase) in future earnings and cash flows resulting from a hypothetical

33

10% increase (decrease) in the Company’s estimated weighted average borrowing rate at September 30, 2025. Most of the interest on the Company’s debt is indexed to SOFR market rates. The estimated annual impact of a hypothetical 10% change in the estimated weighted average borrowing rate at September 30, 2025 is $1.6 million.

The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries in several countries, including in the Netherlands, Canada, the People’s Republic of China, Mexico, United Kingdom, Singapore, India, United Arab Emirates, Germany, South Korea and Saudi Arabia. In the past, we have not hedged our foreign currency exposure, and fluctuations in exchange rates have not materially affected our operating results. Future changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively impact our revenues, operating expenses and earnings. Transaction (gains) losses included in “Other expense, net” line of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income were $2.0 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $1.1 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025.

Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented in this report in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.
