Investor presentation summary
18 Mar, 2026Strategic positioning and market drivers
Focus on nuclear solutions for global security, clean energy, environmental restoration, medicine, and space exploration, with a strong commitment to innovation and operational excellence.
Estimated 2026 revenue of ~$3.75B and backlog of $7.3B as of December 2025, supported by ~10,400 employees.
Investment thesis centers on scale, differentiation, secular demand in government and commercial markets, disciplined capital allocation, and a pathway to mid- to high-single-digit EBITDA and double-digit free cash flow growth.
Decades of nuclear operations experience, world-class manufacturing, and unique NRC Category 1 licenses underpin a strong market position.
High barriers to entry, long-term visibility, and limited GDP cyclicality create favorable business characteristics and pricing power.
