Revenues surged by 26.3% year-over-year to $7.87 billion, bolstered by increased utility investments in grid modernization, renewable energy infrastructure, and the continued demand from data centers and manufacturing. The company's profitability saw a substantial improvement, with operating income rising 41.7% to $338.8 million. This growth was supported by higher revenues, improved operating margins in both segments, and effective management of costs despite an increase in SG&A and amortization expenses related to recent acquisitions.
