Analysis
Enviri reported Q3 revenue from continuing operations of $325 million, compared with $325 million in Q3 2025. The top line masked divergent segment trends. Harsco Environmental revenue rose 5% to $273 million on higher volumes and services pricing, while Harsco Rail revenue fell to $52 million from $64 million because of lower volumes, including equipment volumes following exits from the Network Rail and Deutsche Bahn contracts.
Profitability improved materially. GAAP operating income from continuing operations was $24 million, compared with an $8 million operating loss, and income from continuing operations was $6 million compared with a $21 million loss. Adjusted EBITDA increased 21% to $47 million and margin reached 14.4%, versus $39 million and 11.9%. Harsco Environmental generated $50 million of Adjusted EBITDA and an 18.2% margin, while Harsco Rail returned to $1 million of Adjusted EBITDA from a $4 million loss. Rail's GAAP operating income of $19 million included contract exits and the GBM gain, while its adjusted result reflected lower operating costs and a more favorable mix.
Reported earnings and adjusted earnings diverged in the quarter. GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.16, compared with a loss of $0.82, whereas adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.16, compared with a loss of $0.59. The reconciliation identifies $(19,106) thousand of contract exits and GBM gain among unusual items, alongside $6,412 thousand of restructuring and related costs and $3,876 thousand of strategic costs. These items are important to evaluating the extent to which the GAAP operating-income recovery reflects ongoing performance versus Rail contract-exit effects.
Cash generation remained negative in the quarter. Net cash used by operating activities was $7 million and adjusted free cash flow was $(18) million, although the latter improved from $(41) million in the prior-year period. Management attributed the year-over-year adjusted free-cash-flow change to lower working capital in Rail, including contract exits, and lower financing costs, partly offset by working-capital timing in Harsco Environmental. Cash and cash equivalents were $226,307 thousand at September 30, 2026, while long-term debt was $381,226 thousand.
Management raised 2026 Adjusted EBITDA outlook for both businesses. Harsco Environmental is expected to produce $180 million to $184 million and Harsco Rail is expected to produce $(7) million to $(10) million. The outlook is supported by higher expected services volume at Environmental and aftermarket volume at Rail, as well as structural cost optimization and productivity initiatives. The company also completed the assessment phase of its internal improvement program and is targeting approximately $40 million in earnings growth over the next two years.
Management, verbatim
We experienced continued momentum across both of our businesses in the third quarter, with Enviri delivering adjusted earnings growth of more than 20% for the second consecutive quarter and achieving better than anticipated results.
