  • Over 11,000 employees and contractors contributed to maintaining high service standards.

  • Strategic initiatives included new sales leadership, expanded sales team, and CRM rollout to support a $1B sales pipeline.

  • Acquisition of Parsec contributed $55M in Q2 2025, partially offsetting declines from completed projects and closed operations.

  • Quarterly dividend declared at $0.105 per share, consistent with the prior year.

  • Operating and EBITDA margins declined year-over-year from 10.2% and 18.4%, respectively.

  • Purchased transportation and equipment rent costs dropped 40.6% in Q2 2025, while direct personnel costs rose 24% due to Parsec acquisition.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
