CEO Comment on Quarter

“We are continuing the momentum from Fiscal 2021 into the first quarter of Fiscal 2022 with our third consecutive quarter of earnings per share equal to or in excess of $0.60,” Rainer Bosselmann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Argan, said. “All of our business segments continue to rebound from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and produce increasing revenues and profit quarter over quarter. In addition, we were pleased to announce in May the award and start of an EPC services contract to build one of the largest solar power plants in Pennsylvania, which complements our core gas-fired power plant business, where we are executing on the Guernsey Power Station, which is the largest single-phase gas-fired power plant construction project in the US.”

Quarterly Financial Drivers

Increasing revenues at GPS associated with the construction of the Guernsey Power Station.

APC recently concluded construction activities on the TeesREP project.

Overall gross profit as a percent of revenues increased to 18.8%, reflecting increases from all three reportable business segments.

SG&A costs were under $10.0 million for the quarter and were 7.8% of our corresponding consolidated revenue.

Our balance sheet remains strong. As of April 30, 2021, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $467 million and adjusted net liquidity was $276 million; plus, we had no debt.

In May 2021, we announced that GPS entered into an engineering, procurement and construction services contract with an affiliate of Competitive Power Ventures, Inc., to construct the 100 MW Maple Hill Solar facility in Pennsylvania. GPS also received Notice to Proceed with project activities immediately. The project will be added to the Company’s RUPO in the second quarter and completion is scheduled to occur during the second half of 2022.
