Acuren shares surge 13% on merger news, Q1 revenue beats

Investing.com -- Acuren Corporation (NYSE American:TIC) saw its shares soar 13.3% after announcing a merger agreement with NV5 Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:NVEE) and reporting first quarter 2025 results that exceeded revenue expectations.

The critical asset integrity services provider posted revenue of $234.2 million for Q1, up 5% YoY and surpassing analyst estimates. However, the company reported a net loss of $25.9 million, or -$0.21 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.3 million in the same quarter last year.

Acuren’s CEO Tal Pizzey attributed the revenue growth to "deeper service line penetration with recurring customers and market share gains," highlighting a 7.2% organic growth rate. Pizzey noted, "We delivered solid free cash flow, further solidified our balance sheet with the repricing of our debt, and continued to realize benefits from recent successful acquisitions."

The company’s adjusted EBITDA came in at $25.9 million, with a margin of 11%, down from 15.9% in the prior year quarter. Acuren explained the margin decrease was primarily due to planned public company costs and a higher contribution from lower-margin run and maintain site work.

Looking ahead, Acuren reiterated its full-year 2025 guidance, expecting revenue growth in the low-to-mid-single digit percentage range compared to 2024.

The merger announcement with NV5 Global overshadowed the earnings report, driving the significant stock price increase. Acuren ended the quarter with $155.7 million in cash and total liquidity of $224.9 million.
