Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026
- FlackTek operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Graham Corporation, maintaining its headquarters in Louisville, CO with a satellite location in Greenville, SC, and will be integrated into our financial, compliance, and operational infrastructure.
- The remaining increases primarily reflect investments we are making in our people, our processes, and our technology, which we expect to be approximately $2,500 of incremental costs for fiscal 2027, partially offset by a reduction in costs related to the BN Performance Bonus.
- Note that our orders tend to be lumpy given the nature of our business (i.e. large capital projects) and in particular, orders to the Defense industry, which span multiple years and can be significantly larger in size.
- Defense - Demand for our equipment and systems for the Defense industry is expected to remain strong and continue to expand, based on Defense budget plans, accelerated ship build schedules due to geopolitical tensions, and the projected build schedule of submarines, aircraft carriers and undersea propulsion and power systems that we provide solutions for.
- We expect that in the long-term, extended space exploration will become more prevalent, and we anticipate that our thermal/fluid management and environmental control and life support system turbomachinery and advanced mixing systems will play important roles.
- Small, power-dense systems are imperative for these applications, and we believe our technology and expertise will enable us to achieve sales growth in this market.
- While we expect that fossil fuels will continue to be an important component in the global Energy industry for many years to come, there are significant changes in the priorities for capital investments by our customers and the regions in which those investments are being made.
- We expect that the systemic changes in the Energy markets, which are influenced by the increasing use by consumers of alternative fuels and government policies to stimulate their usage, will likely lead to demand growth for fossil-based fuels that is less than the global growth rate.
- Accordingly, as of late we are seeing the timing of large capital project orders in our traditional Energy & Process markets being pushed out due to volatility in gas prices, tariffs, and geopolitical uncertainty, which has caused customers to delay capital investment.
- Accordingly, we believe that in the near term the quantity of projects available for us to compete for will remain low and that new project pricing will remain challenging.
- Additionally, we believe that the majority of new capital investment orders in our traditional Energy markets will be outside the U.S., such as India and the Middle East.
- Finally, over the last few years we have experienced an increase in our Energy & Process Aftermarket orders primarily from the domestic market as our customers continue to maintain and invest in the facilities they currently operate and we expect that trend to continue for the foreseeable future.
