Concrete Pumping Holdings Inc. (BBCP+0.62%) has submitted its 10-Q filing for the quarterly period ended January 31, 2025.

The filing includes financial statements for the quarter, showing a decrease in total revenue to $86.4 million from $97.7 million in the same quarter the previous year. This decline is attributed to reduced volumes in the U.S. Concrete Pumping and U.K. Operations segments.

Revenue for the U.S. Concrete Pumping segment decreased by 14.6% to $56.9 million, primarily due to adverse weather conditions and a slowdown in commercial construction work. The U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services segment saw a revenue increase of 6.9% to $16.7 million, driven by organic growth and pricing improvements.

The company reported a gross profit of $31.2 million for the quarter, compared to $33.3 million in the previous year. The gross margin improved to 36.1% from 34.1%, primarily due to reductions in fuel and commercial insurance costs.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $27.8 million from $31.9 million, with the decrease largely due to a non-recurring sales tax litigation-related charge in the previous year.

Net loss for the quarter was $2.6 million, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million in the previous year. The improvement was partially due to lower interest expenses and the absence of a sales tax litigation charge.
