DAYTON, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Forgent Power Solutions, Inc. ("Forgent" or the "Company") (NYSE: FPS), a leading designer and manufacturer of electrical distribution equipment used in data centers, the power grid and energy-intensive industrial facilities, today announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Forgent reported first quarter revenues of $479 million, an increase of $195 million, or 69%, compared to the prior year’s quarter, the highest quarterly revenue in the Company’s history. As the Company communicated last month, first quarter results exceeded the high end of its guidance ranges for revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, as strong production ramp execution drove higher throughput and better cost absorption.
“Based on our strong first quarter commercial and operational execution, together with backlog that fully covers our fiscal 2027 guidance, we are raising our full-year outlook,” said Gary Niederpruem, Chief Executive Officer of Forgent. “Robust customer demand and strong execution on our production ramp give us greater confidence in our higher outlook. We are also gaining meaningful traction with multiple frontier AI labs and hyperscalers through our direct sales strategy, and we expect orders from these important customers to build through fiscal 2027 and into fiscal 2028.”
Mr. Niederpruem continued, “With much of our new manufacturing capacity now online, we are increasing our focus on performance optimization. The next phase for Forgent is about converting our expanded scale into greater operating leverage by standardizing processes, improving productivity, strengthening sourcing discipline, and driving more consistent execution across the business. With Amy Ard as Chief Financial Officer, Juan Macias as President of Solutions & Services, and Jamie Brown as President of Transformers, we have experienced financial and operational leadership in place to drive this work. As we execute these initiatives, we believe we are positioning Forgent for meaningful margin expansion over the next several years.”
Net Income for the first quarter was $55 million, an increase of $39 million or 252%, compared to the prior year’s quarter, and Net Income margin was 11.5%. Net Income increased primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs. Diluted EPS for the first quarter was $0.18 and Adjusted EPS was $0.24.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was $105 million, an increase of $40 million or 61%, compared to the prior year’s quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 21.9% in the quarter, which was ahead of the Company’s expectations due to higher throughput and better cost absorption.
Cash flow from operations improved $130 million year-over-year to $136 million in the first quarter and capital expenditures were $32 million. First quarter cash flow from operations benefited from higher earnings and favorable timing of customer deposits and milestone payments, while the Company continued planned investment in working capital, primarily inventory, to support the production ramp.
Newly promoted Chief Financial Officer Amy Ard, who has helped build the Company’s finance platform since its formation, will play a key role in the Company’s focus on converting growth into stronger margins and cash flow. “Having been part of Forgent’s leadership from the beginning, I am incredibly honored to step into this role at such an important point in the Company’s evolution,” said Ms. Ard. “In my prior role as Executive Vice President of Finance, I helped build the systems, processes and financial infrastructure that support the platform we have today. This role gives me the opportunity to apply that foundation more directly to advance our performance optimization initiatives across margins, working capital and cash flow.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and accompanying audio webcast contain forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s beliefs, expectations and assumptions and currently available information. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our projected future results of operations, business strategies, technology developments, financing and investment plans, competitive position, industry and regulatory environment, potential growth opportunities and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include statements that are not historical facts and may be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties and other changes in circumstances we cannot predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on such statements.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include: changes in demand for, or supply of, electrical distribution equipment and related pricing; changes in the prices of raw materials and in labor costs, and our ability to pass those changes on to our customers; the pace of investment in new data centers and construction activity, notwithstanding potential regulatory developments and opposition to data center development; changes in government policies, including the imposition of additional duties, tariffs and other charges on imports and exports; disruptions to our supply chain and distribution networks, including problems with outside vendors, subcontractors and third-party suppliers; delays or interruptions in the operations of our manufacturing campuses; completion of our expansion project; the conversion of amounts included in our backlog into revenue and profits in the amount and on the timeframe we anticipate; competition; product liability claims and other failures of our products; long sales cycles and unpredictable order changes; changing efficiency standards; doing more business with larger customers who demand contracting terms less favorable to us; concentration of our sales with fewer customers; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; changes in technology or customer preferences; unexpected events, such as natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts, pandemics, a volatile global economic environment, inflation, high interest rates and a potential recession; the integration of our business acquisitions; environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; our indebtedness; and the other factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026.
The forward-looking statements included in this document represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Measures
This press release contains certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are presented as supplemental information to provide additional insight into our operating performance and to enhance the overall understanding of our financial results. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they facilitate comparisons of our core operating results across reporting periods and provide a clearer understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures, including that they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided within this press release. The Company does not reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, due to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible; and because not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is available to the Company without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The Company provides non-GAAP financial measures that it believes will be achieved, however it cannot accurately predict all of the components of the adjusted calculations and the U.S. GAAP measures may be materially different than the non-GAAP measures.
Defined Terms
Please see the Company’s filings with the SEC for definitions of defined terms that are used but not defined in this press release.
