Record Revenue: BluMetric reported first-quarter revenue of $20.3 million, up 45% year-over-year, marking its highest quarterly revenue to date.
Growth Drivers: The acquisition of DS Consultants, delivery of the Rheinmetall military project, and robust mining activity fueled strong top-line growth.
Margin Pressure: Gross margin declined to 28% from 33% last year, mainly due to higher material and subcontractor costs in the WaterTech segment.
Profitability: The company posted a net loss of $67,000 for the quarter versus net earnings of $378,000 last year, as increased operating expenses and lower margins offset revenue gains.
DS Consultants Integration: DS Consultants contributed $1.5 million in revenue despite only being part of BluMetric for 20 days this quarter; full impact expected in future quarters.
Military & Mining Markets: Military revenue surged 225% year-over-year on the Rheinmetall contract, and mining revenue rose 72% as commodity prices strengthened.
EBITDA Targets: Management reaffirmed a pathway to 10% EBITDA margins and $100 million in annual revenue, with high single-digit EBITDA margin targeted this year.
Expansion Plans: Facility expansions are planned in both the US and Canada to meet growing demand, with potential to double US manufacturing footprint as early as this quarter.
