Smith-Midland Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results; Company Reports Increasing Backlog to $57.4 Million
Second-quarter revenue, gross profit, operating income and net income were below the prior-year quarter, principally reflecting the nonrecurrence of a higher-margin special barrier rental project. Backlog increased to approximately $57.4 million as of August 1, 2026, supported by recent project awards and anticipated higher production volume in the second half of 2026.

full year of 2026 outlook
- NoteThe Company anticipates increased product sales for the full year of 2026 compared to 2025, but on which there can be no assurance.
- NoteThe majority of the backlog is anticipated to be fulfilled within 12 months; however, some projects may have a multi-year timeline.
- NoteThe Company expects increased production volume for Soundwall panels and Easi-Set and Easi-Span buildings through the second half of 2026.
What drove it
- Revenue was affected by a challenging comparison from last year's large special barrier project.
- Barrier sales reflected replacement activity to comply with new MASH TL-3 standards.
- Utility product sales reflected increased demand in utility and infrastructure-related markets including data centers.
- Shipping and installation activity increased for products produced in prior years.
- Recent project awards included a $10 Million I-81 project contract, a $1.7 Million data center project in Louisiana, and nearly $1 million in utility vaults for a data center project in Virginia.
Concerns
- Gross margin decreased primarily because a higher-margin special barrier rental project in the second quarter of 2025 did not recur in the current-year quarter.
- Soundwall sales, Easi-Set and Easi-Span Building Sales, miscellaneous wall and product sales, SlenderWall and architectural panel sales, barrier rental revenue, and royalty income were below their stated prior-year comparisons.
- Inflationary pressures remain, and the Company continues to manage materials costs while attracting and retaining skilled labor.
- The filing identifies high accounts receivables, material weaknesses in internal controls, cyber security risks, capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, and the risk of less government spending on infrastructure than anticipated.
What to watch
- Fulfillment of approximately $57.4 million of backlog recorded as of August 1, 2026, the majority of which is anticipated to be fulfilled within 12 months.
- Production volume for Soundwall panels and Easi-Set and Easi-Span buildings in the second half of 2026.
- Additional barriers for the rental fleet and expansion of the Virginia and North Carolina production facilities.
- The Company's anticipated increase in full-year 2026 product sales compared to 2025.
Balance sheet and cash flow
- Cash totaled $10.7 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to $11.9 million at the end of fiscal 2025.
- Account receivables totaled $24.6 million as of June 30, 2026.
- Debt totaled $4.1 million as of June 30, 2026.
- Capital spending totaled $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2026.
Analysis
Smith-Midland reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $23.4 million, compared with $26.2 million in the prior-year quarter. Product sales were $11.2 million compared with $13.4 million, while service revenue was $12.2 million compared with $12.8 million. The company described the comparison as challenging because a large special barrier project in the second quarter of 2025 did not recur.
Profitability declined alongside revenue. Gross profit was $5.4 million compared with $7.8 million, and gross margin was 23.2% compared with 29.7%. The company attributed the gross-margin decline primarily to the absence of the higher-margin special barrier rental project from the prior-year quarter. Operating income was $2.0 million compared with $5.5 million, and net income was $1.4 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared with $4.2 million, or $0.79 per diluted share basis.
Mix within product and service activity was uneven. Barrier sales were $2.8 million compared with $1.2 million and reflected MASH TL-3 replacement activity. Utility product sales were $2.0 million, a 126 percent increase, reflecting utility, infrastructure, and data-center demand. These gains were offset by lower Soundwall sales, Easi-Set and Easi-Span Building Sales, miscellaneous wall and product sales, SlenderWall and architectural panel sales, barrier rental revenue, and royalty income versus their stated prior-year comparisons. Shipping and installation revenue increased to $8.0 million from $5.6 million, attributed to activity involving products produced in prior years.
Backlog was approximately $57.4 million as of August 1, 2026, compared with $54 million one year prior, and management said it increased by 19% over the prior-quarter backlog. Subsequent awards included a $10 Million I-81 contract, a $1.7 Million data center project in Louisiana, and nearly $1 million of utility vault production for a Virginia data center project. The company anticipates increased product sales for the full year of 2026 compared with 2025 and expects increased production volume for Soundwall panels and Easi-Set and Easi-Span buildings in the second half.
Liquidity figures showed $10.7 million of cash, $24.6 million of accounts receivables, and $4.1 million of debt as of June 30, 2026. Capital spending totaled $1.9 million during the quarter. Management plans further investment in rental-fleet barriers and expansion of its Virginia and North Carolina production facilities, while continuing to manage materials costs and skilled-labor needs amid inflationary pressures.
Management, verbatim
Our second quarter results benefited from tailwinds related to the ongoing barrier replacement cycle and continued demand for data centers, although total revenue and net income were lower due to a challenging comparison from last year’s large special barrier project.
Ashley Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Smith-Midland
Our backlog as of August 1, 2026 increased by 19% over the backlog in the prior quarter and 6% on a year-over-year basis thanks to several recent project awards, including the third largest contract in the history of the company.
Ashley Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Smith-Midland
