MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Our disciplined focus on our strategic growth priorities enabled us to sustain and build upon the recent momentum in our business, resulting in a strong finish to fiscal 2026, capping a record year for revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and orders," stated Bruce Thames, President and CEO of Thermon. "Revenue increased by 11% during the fourth quarter, driven by the continued rebound in large project activity, as well as durable demand in power, electrification, and select energy markets. For the full year, our revenue increased 8% to a record $536 million, while Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 22.3% resulting in 9% Adjusted EBITDA growth."

Thames continued, "We are well positioned to capitalize on several powerful secular trends, including onshoring, decarbonization, power, LNG and data centers, as evidenced by our robust order growth and bid pipeline of nearly $1.8 billion, which is up over 40% from last year. We remain extremely excited by the strong demand for our liquid load bank solutions for the rapidly expanding data center market. We have recently secured orders for additional 140 liquid load bank units, bringing total orders to 220 units since launch, and our quote log has grown to over $100 million, representing a 70% increase since the end of our third quarter. Our progress against our strategic growth initiatives is clearly evident in our recent results and we are well positioned to continue this momentum moving forward."

"We are also encouraged by the compelling strategic and financial benefits of our pending combination with CECO, which remains on track to close in June. CECO's strong first quarter performance and outlook for 2026, which call for revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth of 25% and 45%, respectively, further reinforce the attractive opportunity ahead. Both organizations are experiencing significant momentum, and we are confident the combined company will be stronger together. The combination is expected to create a scaled, double-digit growth company with attractive margins and strong operating cash flow, positioning us to drive sustained long-term value for our shareholders," concluded Thames.

FOURTH QUARTER FISCAL 2026 PERFORMANCE

Fourth quarter revenue was $148.3 million, an increase of 11% compared to same period last year, driven by the continued rebound in large project revenue, growth in decarbonization projects, and pricing benefits.

Gross profit was $65.3 million during the fourth quarter, an increase of 10% compared to the fourth quarter of last year resulting from revenue growth and disciplined pricing. Gross margin was 44.0% during the fourth quarter, down modestly from 44.3% last year owing to the increase in CAPEX activity and product mix.

Fourth quarter selling, general and administrative expenses were $52.3 million, up from $32.8 million last year owing to costs related to the pending CECO transaction, our continued investments in growth initiatives and higher performance-based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA was $32.1 million during the fourth quarter, up from $30.5 million last year due to revenue growth, and productivity improvements. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 21.6% during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, down from 22.7% in the same period last year owing to the increase in variable cost.

Backlog was $254.9 million as of March 31, 2026, representing a $14.6 million increase, or 6%, as compared to backlog of $240.3 million at March 31, 2025. Orders during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 were $143.5 million compared to $138.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of $4.7 million or 3%, with a book-to-bill of 0.97x.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Cash Flow

As of March 31, 2026, total debt was $141.6 million, and cash and cash equivalents were $52.3 million, resulting in net debt of $89.3 million, down from $96.3 million on December 31, 2025. Net leverage was 0.7x at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, down relative to 0.8x at the end of the prior quarter.

STRATEGIC COMBINATION WITH CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP.

On February 24, 2026, Thermon announced it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with CECO Environmental to combine in a stock and cash merger transaction valued at approximately $2.2 billion. Upon completion of the transaction, CECO and Thermon shareholders are expected to own approximately 62.5% and 37.5%, respectively, of the combined company.

The parties continue to progress toward completion of the previously announced merger. The registration statement on Form S-4 has been declared effective by the SEC and CECO and Thermon have mailed the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus to their respective stockholders. Stockholder votes are expected to take place on May 27, 2026, as described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus. The transaction is expected to close in June 2026.

Given the Company's pending combination with CECO, Thermon is not hosting a conference call to discuss its fourth-quarter and full-year financial results and is no longer providing financial guidance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Disclosure in this release of "Adjusted EPS," "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA margin," "Adjusted Net Income/(loss)," "Free Cash Flow," "OPEX Sales" and "Net Debt," which are "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), are intended as supplemental measures of our financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). "Adjusted Net Income/(loss)" and "Adjusted EPS" (or "Adjusted fully diluted EPS") represent net income/(loss) before the impact of restructuring and other charges/(income), Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") system implementation related cost, debt issuance cost and costs associated with impairments and other charges, acquisition costs, amortization of intangible assets, tax expense for impact of foreign rate increases, and any tax effect of such adjustments. "Adjusted EBITDA" represents net income before interest expense (net of interest income), income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition costs, costs associated with restructuring and other income/(charges), ERP implementation related cost, and costs associated with impairments and other charges. "Adjusted EBITDA margin" represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. "Free Cash Flow" represents cash provided by operating activities less cash used for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment. "OPEX Sales" represents Point-in-Time Sales plus Over-Time Small projects (i.e., less than $0.5 million in total revenue). "Net Debt" represents total outstanding principal debt less cash and cash equivalents.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are meaningful to our investors to enhance their understanding of our financial performance and are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare our performance with the performance of other companies that report Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin or Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, OPEX Sales and Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, revenue, income from operations, net income, net income per share and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. We provide Free Cash Flow as a measure of liquidity. Our calculation of Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, OPEX Sales and Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For a description of how Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, OPEX Sales and Free Cash Flow are calculated and reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP measures, see the sections of this release titled "Reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted EBITDA," "Reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS," "Reconciliation of Point-in-Time and Over-Time Sales to OPEX Sales" and "Reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow."
