ARGAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2025
(Tabular dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of the Business
Argan, Inc. ("Argan”) conducts operations through its wholly-owned subsidiaries across
Through the Power Industry Services segment, the Company provides a full range of engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, maintenance, project development, and technical consulting services to the power generation market. The customers include primarily independent power producers, public utilities, power plant equipment suppliers and other commercial firms with significant power requirements. Customer projects are located in the United States (the "U.S.”), the Republic of Ireland ("Ireland”) and the United Kingdom (the "U.K.”). The Company’s Industrial Construction Services segment provides on-site services that support new plant construction and additions, maintenance turnarounds, shutdowns and emergency mobilizations for industrial operations primarily located in the Southeast region of the U.S. and that may include the fabrication, delivery and installation of steel components such as piping systems and pressure vessels. The Company’s Telecommunications Infrastructure Services segment provides telecommunications project management, construction, installation, maintenance, repair and response services to commercial, local and federal government customers primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S.
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Argan and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In Note 15, the Company has provided certain financial information relating to the operating results and assets of its reportable segments based on the manner in which management disaggregates the Company’s financial reporting for the purpose of making internal operating decisions.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31 each year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2025, the condensed consolidated statements of earnings and stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2025 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto, and the independent registered public accounting firm’s report thereon, that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 ("Fiscal 2025”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2025, and its earnings and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which introduces more detailed requirements for annual disclosures for income taxes. The ASU requires public business entities to present specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and to provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 also requires all entities to disclose the amounts of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign jurisdiction. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 may have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public business entities to disclose specific information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 may have on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.
There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted that the Company considers material to its condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Disaggregation of Revenues
The following table presents consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, disaggregated by the geographic area where the corresponding projects were located:

Consolidated revenues | $ | | $ | | $ | | $ | |
Revenues for projects located in Ireland and the U.K. are attributed to the Power Industry Services segment. The major portions of the Company’s consolidated revenues are recognized pursuant to fixed-price contracts with most of the remaining portions earned pursuant to time-and-material contracts. Consolidated revenues are disaggregated by reportable segment in Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
During the six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no material unusual or one-time adjustments to contract assets or contract liabilities balances. The Company recognized the following revenues that were included in the contract liabilities balances at the beginning of the respective period:

Contract retentions are billed amounts which, pursuant to the terms of the applicable contract, are not paid by customers until a defined phase of a contract or project has been completed and accepted. These retained amounts are reflected in contract assets or contract liabilities depending on the net contract position of the particular contract. The amounts retained by project owners and other customers under construction contracts at July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025 were $

Variable Consideration
Variable consideration includes unapproved change orders where the Company has project-owner directive for additional work or other scope changes, but has not yet obtained approval for the associated price or the corresponding additional effort. These amounts are included in the transaction price when it is considered probable that the applicable costs, including those for additional effort, will be recovered through a modification to the contract price. At July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the aggregate amounts of contract variations, which primarily related to an overseas project and were included in the corresponding transaction prices pending customer approvals, were $
Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations ("RUPO”)

It is important to note that estimates may be changed in the future and that cancellations, deferrals or scope adjustments may occur related to work included in the amount of RUPO at July 31, 2025. Accordingly, RUPO may be adjusted to reflect project delays and cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost and foreign currency exchange fluctuations, or to revise estimates, as effects become known. Such adjustments to RUPO may materially reduce future revenues below Company estimates.

NOTE 7 – FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has pledged the majority of its assets to secure its financing arrangements. The Bank’s consent is not required for acquisitions, divestitures, cash dividends or significant investments as long as certain conditions are met. The Credit Agreement requires that the Company comply with certain financial covenants at its fiscal year-end and at each fiscal quarter-end. The Credit Agreement includes other terms, covenants and events of default that are customary for a credit facility of its size and nature, including a requirement to achieve positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined, over each rolling twelve-month measurement period.

NOTE 9 – LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company may have pending claims and legal proceedings. The Company maintains accrued expense balances for the estimated amounts of legal costs expected to be billed related to any significant matter. In the opinion of management, based on information available at this time, there are no current claims and proceedings that would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. However, the outcomes of such legal claims and proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties.
In March 2025, a U.K. subsidiary of the Company sued EP NI Energy Limited and EP UK Investment Limited (together referred to as "EP”) in the High Court of Justice, Business and Property Courts of England and Wales for EP’s breach of contract and failure to remedy various events which negatively impacted the schedule and costs of an overseas project, resulting in EP receiving the benefits of the construction efforts of the Company’s U.K. subsidiary and the corresponding progress on the project without making payments to which the Company’s U.K. subsidiary was contractually entitled.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA”) was enacted into law. The legislation includes several changes to U.S. federal income tax law that generally allow for more favorable deductibility of certain business expenses beginning in calendar year 2025, including the restoration of immediate expensing for domestic research and development expenditures and the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property. The OBBBA also includes certain modifications to the U.S. taxation of foreign activity, including changes to rules governing foreign tax credits, Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI”), Foreign-Derived Intangible Income ("FDII”), and the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax ("BEAT”), among other changes. Most of these modifications to the U.S. taxation of foreign activity are generally effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
Certain benefits from the OBBBA, such as deducting previously capitalized domestic research and development expenditures, are included in the income tax expense for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on future periods. The Company does not expect the impact of the OBBBA to be material.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion summarizes the financial position of Argan, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of July 31, 2025, and the results of their operations for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, and should be read in conjunction with (i) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and (ii) the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2025 that was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025 (the "Annual Report”).
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor” for certain forward-looking statements. We have made statements in this Item 2 and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that may constitute "forward-looking statements.” The words "believe,” "expect,” "anticipate,” "plan,” "intend,” "estimate,” "foresee,” "should,” "would,” "could,” or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
18
Our forward-looking statements, financial position and results of operations, are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. All comments concerning our expectations for future revenues and operating results are based on our forecasts for existing operations that do not include the potential impacts of any future acquisitions.
Our forward-looking statements, by their nature, involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. They are subject to change based upon various factors including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

Business Description
The Company is primarily an engineering and construction firm that conducts operations through its wholly-owned subsidiaries across three distinct reportable business segments.
Power Industry Services: This segment provides a full range of engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, maintenance, project development and technical consulting services to the power generation market. The customers include primarily independent power producers, public utilities, power plant equipment suppliers and other commercial firms with significant power requirements. Customer projects are located in the U.S., Ireland and the U.K.
Industrial Construction Services: This segment primarily provides field services that support new plant construction and additions, maintenance turnarounds, shutdowns and emergency mobilizations for industrial plants primarily located in the Southeast region of the U.S. and that may include the fabrication, delivery and installation of steel components such as piping systems and pressure vessels.
Telecommunications Infrastructure Services: This segment provides telecommunications project management, construction, installation, maintenance, repair and response services to commercial, local government and federal government customers primarily in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S.
We may make additional opportunistic acquisitions and/or investments by identifying companies with significant potential for profitable growth and realizable synergies with one or more of our existing businesses. We may have more than one industrial focus depending on the opportunity and/or needs of our customers. Significant acquired companies will be operated in a manner that we believe will best provide long-term and enduring value for our stockholders.
Market Outlook
The majority of our consolidated revenues relate to performance in the U.S. by the Power Industry Services segment, which provides EPC services to design, build, and commission large-scale energy projects. In the U.S., electricity demand has reached its highest level in two decades, driven by the expansion of data centers supporting artificial intelligence technologies, the growing adoption of electric vehicles, and the reshoring of manufacturing activities. Keeping up with growing energy demand is further challenged by the aging fleet of traditional power facilities that are at or nearing the end of their operational lives. Throughout the U.S., the risk of electricity shortages grows as the retirement of traditional power plants outpaces their replacements. While renewable energy sources like solar and wind are expanding, they often cannot provide the same level of consistent, around-the-clock power generation as the retiring thermal plants. Natural gas-fired power plants are expected to remain a key component of future capacity additions due to their cost-effectiveness, reliability, and ability to support intermittent energy sources.
Utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage projects continue to expand their share of electricity generation, supported by declining capital costs, improved energy storage systems that enhance grid reliability, and supportive tax incentives. Despite their increasing cost competitiveness and their rapid deployment over the past several years, the long-term trajectory of renewables could be influenced by shifts in energy policy and evolving regulatory frameworks.
Recent changes in U.S. trade policy, including the implementation of new or increased tariffs, have introduced cost and supply chain uncertainties affecting certain construction materials and equipment. Tariffs on imported materials, including steel and aluminum, could significantly impact the cost of building power plants. Tariff measures may also cause import
19
delays, increasing lead times necessary for materials to arrive at our construction sites. The resulting rise in material costs and delivery delays could lead to higher overall project expenses and changes to project timelines. As the current U.S. administration’s approach to tariffs remains fluid at this time, the full extent of these effects remains uncertain. We continue to monitor developments closely, as prolonged or expanded trade restrictions could negatively affect project costs, timing, and customer demand.
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted into law. The legislation includes several changes to U.S. federal income tax law that generally allow for more favorable deductibility of certain business expenses beginning in calendar year 2025, including the restoration of immediate expensing for domestic research and development expenditures and the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property. The OBBBA also includes certain modifications to the U.S. taxation of foreign activity, including changes to rules governing foreign tax credits, GILTI, FDII, and BEAT, among other changes. Most of these modifications to the U.S. taxation of foreign activity are generally effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. Certain benefits from the OBBBA, such as deducting previously capitalized domestic research and development expenditures, are included in the income tax expense for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact on future periods. We do not expect the impact of the OBBBA to be material.
Project Backlog
At July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, our consolidated project backlog amounts of $2.0 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, consisted substantially of projects within our Power Industry Services reporting segment.
Our reported project backlog at a point in time represents the expected revenue from the remaining work on projects where the scope is sufficiently defined and the contract value can be reasonably estimated. While the inclusion of contract values in project backlog involves management judgment based on the facts and circumstances, we typically include the value of the contract in project backlog upon receiving a notice to proceed from the project owner. In making the determination of project backlog, management may consider several factors, including terms of the contract, the degree of project financing and permitting, and historical experience with similar contracts. The start of new projects is primarily controlled by project owners and delays may occur that are beyond our control.
We are committed to the construction of state-of-the-art, natural gas-fired power plants, as important elements of our country’s electricity-generation mix now and in the future. We target natural gas-fired power plants, renewable energy plants, energy storage, and industrial construction opportunities in the U.S., Ireland and the U.K. Our vision is to safely contribute to the construction of the energy infrastructure and state-of-the-art industrial facilities that are essential to future economic prosperity in the areas where we operate. We intend to realize this vision with motivated, creative, high-energy and customer-driven teams that are committed to delivering the best possible project results each and every time.
170 MW Thermal Project
In July 2025, we entered into an EPC services contract for the development of a power plant with a planned generation capacity of approximately 170 MW. The facility is located in County Meath, Ireland. Construction is expected to begin during the second half of Fiscal 2026, with an expected project completion date in calendar year 2028.
Sandow Lakes Power Station
In April 2025, we received a notice to proceed on an EPC services contract for a 1.2 GW combined-cycle natural gas-fired power plant in Lee County, Texas. Project activity commenced in the second quarter of Fiscal 2026. The project has an expected completion date in calendar year 2028.
Tarbert Next Generation Power Station

700 MW Combined-Cycle Project
In December 2024, we entered into an EPC services contract and received the corresponding full notice to proceed ("FNTP”) with a customer for an approximately 700 MW combined-cycle natural gas-fired power plant located in the U.S. Project activity commenced in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025. Project completion is scheduled for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2028.
Louisiana LNG Facility
In June 2024, we entered into a subcontract and received FNTP for the installation of five 90 MW gas turbines for the dedicated supply of power to a liquified natural gas ("LNG”) facility in Louisiana. This project, led by our Power Industry Services segment, was a collaboration with our Industrial Construction Services segment. The project was completed during the first half of Fiscal 2026.
405 MW Midwest Solar Project
In August 2024, we received FNTP on an EPC services contract to construct a utility-scale solar field in Illinois with the capacity to provide 405 MW of electrical power. Project completion is scheduled for the first half of Fiscal 2027.
Midwest Solar and Battery Projects
Between January and early May 2024, we received FNTPs for three state-of-the-art solar energy and battery energy storage facilities in Illinois. The three projects will cumulatively represent 160 MW of electrical power and 22 MW of energy storage. Two of these projects were completed in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2025. Completion of the final project, which experienced certain regulatory delays, is expected within the first half of Fiscal 2027.
Trumbull Energy Center
In November 2022, we received FNTP on an EPC services contract for a 950 MW combined-cycle natural gas-fired power plant in Lordstown, Ohio. Project completion is scheduled for the first quarter of Fiscal 2027.
Industrial Construction Services Project Backlog
As of July 31, 2025, the Industrial Construction Services segment’s project backlog was approximately $189.0 million as compared to $53.2 million on January 31, 2025. During the six months ended July 31, 2025, the Industrial Construction Services segment added contracts to its project backlog related to an automotive plant, a data center, an aluminum rolling and recycling facility and water treatment plant, and facilities related to certain other industries.

Revenues
Power Industry Services
The revenues of the Power Industry Services business increased by 13.3%, or $23.1 million, to $196.9 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared with revenues of $173.8 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024 as the quarterly construction activities increased for the 405 MW Midwest Solar Project and the 700 MW Combined-Cycle Project. The increase in revenues between quarters was partially offset by decreased construction activities associated with the Midwest Solar and Battery Projects, the Trumbull Energy Center, the Louisiana LNG Facility, the Shannonbridge Power Project, and the ESB FlexGen Peaker Plants, as those projects have partially or fully concluded. The revenues of this business segment represented approximately 82.8% of consolidated revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 2025 and 76.5% of consolidated revenues for the corresponding prior year quarter.
The primary drivers for this segment’s revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2024, were the construction of the Midwest Solar and Battery Projects, the Trumbull Energy Center, the 405 MW Midwest Solar Project and the Louisiana LNG Facility.
Industrial Construction Services
The revenues of Industrial Construction Services decreased by $13.5 million, or 27.3%, to $36.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2025 compared to revenues of $49.6 million for the three months ended July 31, 2024, as the amounts of field services construction activities and vessel fabrication work decreased between periods.

Other Income, Net
For the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, the net amounts of other income were $5.6 million and $5.6 million, respectively, which primarily reflected income earned during the period on investments, cash and cash equivalent balances.
Income Tax Expense
We recorded income tax expense for the three months ended July 31, 2025 in the net amount of approximately $0.4 million. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2025 was 1.0%. This effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal tax rate of 21% due primarily to the favorable tax benefit resulting from stock option exercises during the period.
We recorded income tax expense for the three months ended July 31, 2024 in the net amount of approximately $6.1 million. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended July 31, 2024 was 25.1%. This effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal tax rate of 21% due primarily to the typically unfavorable estimated effects of state income taxes and permanent differences.

Revenues
Power Industry Services
The revenues of the Power Industry Services segment increased by 25.8%, or $73.3 million, to $357.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2025 compared with revenues of $284.0 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024 as the construction activities increased for the 405 MW Midwest Solar Project and the 700 MW Combined-Cycle Project. The increase in revenues between periods was partially offset by decreased construction activities associated with the Midwest Solar and Battery Projects, the Shannonbridge Power Project, and the ESB FlexGen Peaker Plants, as those projects have partially or fully concluded. The revenues of this business segment represented approximately 82.8% of consolidated revenues for the six months ended July 31, 2025 and 73.8% of consolidated revenues for the six months ended July 31, 2024.
The primary driver for this segment’s revenues for the six months ended July 31, 2024, were the construction activities of the Trumbull Energy Center, the Midwest Solar and Battery Projects, the Shannonbridge Power Project, and the ESB FlexGen Peaker Plants.
Industrial Construction Services
The revenues of our Industrial Construction Services segment decreased by $28.1 million, or 30.1%, to $65.2 million for the six months ended July 31, 2025 compared to revenues of $93.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024 as the amounts of field services and vessel fabrication work decreased meaningfully between periods. For the six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, the revenues of this segment represented 15.1% and 24.3% of consolidated revenues for the corresponding periods.
Telecommunications Infrastructure Services
The revenue results of this business segment were $8.9 million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2025, an increase of $1.5 million, or 20.7%, from the amount of revenues earned during the six months ended July 31, 2024.
24
Cost of Revenues
With the increase in consolidated revenues for the six months ended July 31, 2025 compared with the six months ended July 31, 2024, the consolidated cost of revenues also increased between the periods. These costs were $350.3 million and $335.6 million for the six-month periods ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
For the six-month period ended July 31, 2025, we reported a consolidated gross profit of approximately $81.1 million, which represented a gross profit percentage of approximately 18.8% of corresponding consolidated revenues. For the six-month period ended July 31, 2024, we reported a consolidated gross profit of approximately $49.0 million, which represented a gross profit percentage of approximately 12.8% of corresponding consolidated revenues. The gross profit percentage increased between periods primarily due to the changing mix of projects and contract types, partially offset by the unfavorable profit adjustments on an overseas project recorded during the prior year in the amount of $2.8 million. The gross profit percentages of corresponding revenues for the Power Industry Services, Industrial Construction Services and the Telecommunications Infrastructure Services segments were 20.0%, 11.8% and 21.6%, respectively, for the six months ended July 31, 2025. The gross profit percentages of corresponding revenues for the Power Industry Services, Industrial Construction Services and the Telecommunications Infrastructure Services segments were 12.3%, 13.1% and 27.1%, respectively, for the six months ended July 31, 2024.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
These costs were $26.7 million and $23.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and represented 6.2% and 6.2% of corresponding consolidated revenues, respectively.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net, for the six months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 was $11.0 million and $10.4 million, respectively, which primarily reflected income earned during the period on investments, cash and cash equivalent balances.
Income Taxes
We incurred income tax expense for the six months ended July 31, 2025 in the amount of approximately $7.6 million, which represents an effective income tax rate of 11.6%. This effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal tax rate of 21% due primarily to the favorable tax benefit resulting from stock option exercises during the period.
For the six months ended July 31, 2024, we reported income tax expense in the amount of approximately $9.5 million, which represented an effective tax rate of 26.7% for the period. This effective tax rate differed from the statutory federal tax rate of 21% due primarily to the unrecognized tax loss benefit for the six months ended July 31, 2024 and the typically unfavorable estimated effects of state income taxes and permanent differences.
Liquidity and Capital Resources as of July 31, 2025
At July 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, our balances of cash and cash equivalents were $177.9 million and $145.3 million, respectively, which represented an increase of $32.6 million during the current fiscal year.
The net amount of cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended July 31, 2025 was $69.9 million. Our net income for the six months ended July 31, 2025, adjusted favorably by the net amount of non-cash income and expense items, represented a source of cash in the total amount of $64.6 million. The increase in contract liabilities of $17.6 million and the decrease in contract assets of $4.7 million represented sources of cash during the period. The increase of accounts receivable in the amount of $3.2 million and the increase of other assets of $1.7 million represented uses of cash during the period. The decrease in the combined level of accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $12.0 million represented a use of cash during the period as well.
During the six months ended July 31, 2025, our primary source of cash from investing activities was the net maturities of CDs issued by the Bank, in the amount of $55.0 million. We used $67.2 million, net of maturities, to invest in AFS securities consisting of U.S. Treasury notes. We also used $2.1 million for purchases of property, plant, and equipment.
For the six months ended July 31, 2025, we used $24.9 million in cash for financing activities, including $7.0 million used to repurchase shares of common stock pursuant to our share purchase program and $10.3 million used for the payment of regular cash dividends. We also used $7.6 million for share-based award settlements, which represented payments for
25
withholding taxes reimbursed by shares of common stock, net with proceeds received from stock option exercises. As of July 31, 2025, there were no restrictions with respect to intercompany payments between the holding company and all subsidiaries.
At July 31, 2025, a portion of our balance of cash and cash equivalents was invested in a money market fund with most of its net assets invested in cash, U.S. Treasury obligations, other obligations issued by U.S. Government agencies and sponsored enterprises, and repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government obligations. The majority of our domestic operating bank account balances are maintained with the Bank. We do maintain certain Euro-based bank accounts in Ireland and certain pound sterling-based bank accounts in the U.K. in support of our overseas operations.
In order to monitor the actual and necessary levels of liquidity for our business, we focus on net liquidity, or working capital, in addition to our cash balances. During the six months ended July 31, 2025, our net liquidity increased by $43.0 million to $344.5 million from $301.4 million as of January 31, 2025, due primarily to our net income, partially offset by the payment of cash dividends, common stock repurchases, and net cash paid for withholding taxes due to stock-based award net settlements. As we have no debt service, as our fixed asset acquisitions in a reporting period are typically low, and as our net liquidity includes our short-term investments and AFS investments, our levels of working capital are not subjected to the volatility that affects our levels of cash and cash equivalents.
We believe that cash on hand, our cash equivalents, cash that will be provided from the maturities of short-term investments and other debt securities and cash generated from our future operations, with or without funds available under our Credit Agreement, will be adequate to meet our general business needs in the foreseeable future. In general, we maintain significant liquid capital in our consolidated balance sheet to ensure the maintenance of our bonding capacity and to provide parent company performance guarantees for EPC and other construction projects.
However, any significant future acquisition, investment, or other unplanned cost or cash requirement may require us to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Financing Arrangements
On May 24, 2024, we executed with the Bank the Credit Agreement with an expiration date of May 31, 2027. The Credit Agreement has a base lending commitment amount of $35.0 million and establishes the interest rate for revolving loans at SOFR plus 1.85%. In addition to the base commitment, the credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional commitment amount of $30.0 million, subject to certain conditions. We may use the borrowing ability to cover other credit instruments issued by the Bank for our use in the ordinary course of business as defined in the Credit Agreement. Further, on May 31, 2024, we entered into a companion facility, in the amount of $25.0 million, pursuant to which an overseas subsidiary of the Company may cause the Bank’s European entity to issue letters of credit on its behalf that are secured by a blanket parent company guarantee issued by Argan to the Bank.
At July 31, 2025, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement. However, the Bank has issued a letter of credit in the total outstanding amount of $0.3 million at July 31, 2025.
We have pledged the majority of the Company’s assets to secure its financing arrangements. The Bank’s consent is not required for acquisitions, divestitures, cash dividends or significant investments as long as certain conditions are met. The Credit Agreement requires that we comply with certain financial covenants at its fiscal year-end and at each fiscal quarter-end. The Credit Agreement includes other terms, covenants and events of default that are customary for a credit facility of its size and nature, including a requirement to achieve positive adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined, over each rolling twelve-month measurement period. As of July 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants and other requirements of the Credit Agreement.
Performance Bonds and Guarantees
In the normal course of business and for certain major projects, we may be required to obtain surety or performance bonding, to provide parent company guarantees, or to cause the issuance of letters of credit (or some combination thereof) in order to provide performance assurances to clients on behalf of one of our subsidiaries.
If our services under a guaranteed project would not be completed or would be determined to have resulted in a material defect or other material deficiency, then we could be responsible for monetary damages or other legal remedies. As is
26
typically required by any surety bond, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of any surety bond provided on behalf of a subsidiary for any cash payments made thereunder. The commitments under performance bonds generally end concurrently with the expiration of the related contractual obligation.
As of July 31, 2025, the estimated amount of our unsatisfied bonded performance obligations, covering all of our subsidiaries, was approximately $0.6 billion. In addition, as of July 31, 2025, the outstanding amount of bonds covering other risks, including warranty obligations and contract payment retentions related to completed activities, was $61.2 million.
When sufficient information about claims related to performance on projects would be available and monetary damages or other costs or losses would be determined to be probable, we would record such losses. As our subsidiaries are wholly owned, any actual liability related to contract performance is ordinarily reflected in the financial statement account balances determined pursuant to the Company’s accounting for contracts with customers. Any amounts that we may be required to pay in excess of the estimated costs to complete contracts in progress as of July 31, 2025 are not estimable.
Solar Energy Project Investments
We make investments in limited liability companies that make equity investments in solar energy projects that are eligible to receive energy tax credits, for which we have received substantially all of the income tax benefits associated with those investments. During the six months ended July 31, 2025, we did not make any cash payments to any solar tax credit entities. As of July 31, 2025, we had $11.5 million of remaining cash investment commitments related to a solar fund, which we paid in August 2025. It is likely that we will evaluate opportunities to make other alternative energy project investments in the future.
Development Financing
We selectively participate in power plant project development and related financing activities 1) to maintain a proprietary pipeline for future EPC services contract opportunities, 2) to secure exclusive rights to EPC contracts, and 3) to generate profits through interest income and project development success fees.
In Fiscal 2025, we funded a loan to a special purpose entity in the amount of $5.0 million to support the development phase of a natural gas-fired power plant, which remains outstanding as of July 31, 2025. We may enter into other support arrangements in the future in connection with power plant development opportunities when they arise and when we are confident that providing early financial support for the projects will lead to the award of the corresponding EPC contracts to us.
Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA”)
We believe that EBITDA is a meaningful presentation that enables us to assess and compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing from our operating results the impacts of our capital structure, the effects of the accounting methods used to compute depreciation and amortization and the effects of operating in different income tax jurisdictions. Further, we believe that EBITDA is widely used by investors and analysts as a measure of performance.
However, as EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we do not believe that this measure should be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the results of our operations presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that are included in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, our EBITDA does not necessarily represent funds available for discretionary use and is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2025, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and the material information related to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure in the reports.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Our board of directors has authorized management to repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market, through investment banking institutions, privately-negotiated transactions, or direct purchases pursuant to a share repurchase program (the "Share Repurchase Plan”). On April 10, 2025, the board of directors increased the total authorization under the Share Repurchase Plan by $25 million, bringing the aggregate authorized amount to $150 million. The timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on market and business conditions, applicable legal and credit requirements, and other corporate considerations. In accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and pursuant to the Share Repurchase Plan, we have permitted, and may in the future permit, the repurchase of our common stock during trading blackout periods by an investment banking firm or other institution acting as our agent under predetermined parameters.
