Earnings Scorecard

Revenue: $1.262 billion (+110.7% year over year, vs. $1.074 billion estimate) ✅ Beat

EPS: GAAP diluted loss per share of $0.37 (not directly comparable to the $0.33 adjusted estimate due to differing bases)

Guidance: Raised — full-year revenue $4.7B–$4.8B (from $4.1B–$4.3B), adjusted EBITDA $565M–$585M (from $470M–$490M). New Q3 guidance: revenue $1.225B–$1.275B and adjusted EBITDA $150M–$160M

Positives

Revenue beat: $1.262 billion, well above the $1.074 billion estimate

Backlog surge: Combined backlog and contracted orders of $5.67 billion, roughly 2x year over year

Full-year guidance raised: Revenue lifted to $4.7B–$4.8B and adjusted EBITDA to $565M–$585M

Legend Corp ($LGN), which designs, installs, and maintains mission-critical building infrastructure, has scaled up on the back of data center and technology demand combined with the Bowers acquisition. Even excluding the acquisition, revenue growth was around 60%, suggesting continued momentum in the core business.

Negatives

Gross margin decline: Gross margin of 17.4%, down from 21.5% a year earlier

Widening net loss attributable to shareholders: Net loss attributable to Legend of $27.8 million, or a $0.37 diluted loss per share

Adjusted EPS not reported: Not directly comparable to the $0.33 adjusted estimate due to differing bases

Revenue grew, but a heavier mix of installation and maintenance work weighed on margins. Of the total net loss of $34.6 million, the share attributable to shareholders also widened year over year. The pace of growth needs to be weighed alongside the quality of earnings.

What Management Said

CEO Jeff Sprout highlighted robust customer demand, noting that revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and combined backlog and contracted orders all hit record highs. Beyond data centers, demand from life sciences and healthcare, state and local government, and education also provided support, giving management confidence to lift its second-half outlook.

Market Reaction and Key Things to Watch

The immediate after-hours stock reaction has not been confirmed, and the market is weighing the revenue surge and raised full-year guidance against the margin compression and widening net loss.
