IES Holdings Reports Strong First-Quarter Earnings for Fiscal 2025
HOUSTON, TX – IES Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: IESC) has announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, reporting significant growth across key performance metrics. The company posted revenue of $750 million, an 18% increase from $634 million in the same period last year. Operating income rose 29% to $74.6 million, while net income jumped 37% to $56.3 million. Diluted earnings per share increased to $2.72 from $1.87 a year ago.
Chairman and CEO Jeff Gendell attributed the strong performance to solid demand in the Communications, Infrastructure Solutions, and Commercial & Industrial segments, particularly within the data center market. While the Residential segment saw modest growth of 1%, it faced challenges from recent hurricanes in Florida and housing affordability concerns. However, the company noted a rebound in demand moving into the second fiscal quarter.
The Infrastructure Solutions segment led growth with a 72% revenue surge, driven by custom engineered solutions and the recent acquisition of Greiner Industries. The Communications segment also performed well, with revenue climbing 36% due to increased data center demand. Meanwhile, the Commercial & Industrial segment grew 4%, maintaining steady operating margins.
President and COO Matt Simmes highlighted the company’s strategic investments, including a new ERP system and expanded HVAC and plumbing services in the Residential segment. Additionally, IES recently acquired Arrow Engine Company, further strengthening its Infrastructure Solutions division by adding natural gas production equipment to its portfolio.
With a strong backlog of $1.8 billion and continued expansion efforts, IES remains optimistic about its long-term growth prospects for fiscal 2025.
