Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. recently released its 10-Q report. The company, headquartered in Thornton, Colorado, provides concrete pumping and concrete waste management services in the United States and the United Kingdom through its U.S. Concrete Pumping, U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services, and U.K. Operations segments. Its brands include Brundage-Bone, Camfaud, Capital Pumping, and Eco-Pan, and it also leases and rents related equipment, pans, and containers.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Concrete Pumping said its quarterly discussion should be read alongside its condensed consolidated financial statements and notes, and it tied the report to its fiscal 2025 annual report filed Jan. 13, 2026. The company also repeated a forward-looking statements section that pointed to risks including inflation, fuel costs, construction demand, weather, competition, acquisitions, labor, debt, currency swings, and cybersecurity.
Business overview
The company said it is a Delaware corporation with wholly owned subsidiaries Brundage-Bone, Camfaud, and Eco-Pan. It described its strategy as using strategic acquisitions to expand its service mix and said it expects to fund opportunistic deals with cash on hand and its revolving credit facility. It also noted that it acquired Templant Hire Limited in April 2026 for $11.1 million net of cash acquired, adding temporary power services in the U.K.
Segment structure
- U.S. Concrete Pumping: about 95 branch locations across 23 states
- U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services: 22 operating locations in the U.S.
- U.K. Operations: about 35 branch locations in the U.K. and Republic of Ireland
Three months ended April 30, 2026
Total revenue rose 13.7% to $106.8 million from $94.0 million a year earlier.
- U.S. Concrete Pumping: revenue increased 15.2% to $71.5 million from $62.1 million
- U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services: revenue increased 12.7% to $20.3 million from $18.1 million
- U.K. Operations: revenue increased 8.2% to $14.9 million from $13.8 million
The company said the U.S. pumping increase reflected higher commercial and infrastructure volumes and pricing, especially from data center and infrastructure projects, along with better weather. It said the waste management gain came from organic volume growth, data center and infrastructure projects, and pricing improvements. In the U.K., revenue rose 3.6% excluding currency effects, helped by a $0.7 million contribution from Templant, partly offset by softer commercial construction demand.
Gross profit increased 14.0% to $41.3 million from $36.2 million, while gross margin was essentially unchanged at 38.6% versus 38.5%.
General and administrative expenses rose to $29.2 million from $27.9 million, but fell to 27.3% of revenue from 29.7%. The company said the increase was mainly due to $1.0 million higher labor costs and $0.5 million more stock-based compensation, partly offset by a $0.6 million decline in intangible asset amortization. Excluding amortization, stock compensation, and depreciation, G&A was $25.2 million, or 23.6% of revenue, versus $23.8 million, or 25.3%, a year earlier.
The effective tax rate was 34.4%, up from 33.3%, due largely to more discrete items, including prior-period state tax adjustments.
Six months ended April 30, 2026
Total revenue increased 9.4% to $197.4 million from $180.4 million.
- U.S. Concrete Pumping: up 10.5% to $131.5 million from $119.0 million
- U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services: up 10.5% to $38.4 million from $34.8 million
- U.K. Operations: up 3.1% to $27.5 million from $26.6 million
The company gave the same main drivers for the first-half U.S. revenue gains: higher commercial and infrastructure activity, especially data center and infrastructure projects, plus better weather. It said the U.K. increase included the Templant contribution and was partly offset by weaker commercial construction demand.
