Northwest Pipe Company reported a strong second quarter with significant year-over-year increases in net sales, gross profit, and net income. The company benefited from the acquisition of ParkUSA and strong performance in both its Engineered Steel Pressure Pipe (SPP) and Precast Infrastructure and Engineered Systems segments.
Net sales increased 60.6% year-over-year to $118.5 million.
Gross profit increased 152.5% year-over-year to $24.1 million.
Net income was $9.7 million, or $0.97 per diluted share.
Precast order book reached a record of $75 million.
For the third quarter of 2022, the SPP business was on track to generate similar revenue and improving margins compared to the second quarter of 2022. However, recent severe weather events in late July and early August forced shutdowns at both the Adelanto, California and St. Louis, Missouri plants due to flooding which may adversely impact revenue and margins if the shutdowns become extended. As such, the company currently anticipates its third quarter SPP revenue could be down slightly from the second quarter of 2022 with gross margins that are flat to modestly higher.
