However, the Company has experienced a significant increase in backlog of $68.0 million, or 108%, compared to $63.1 million at April 30, 2024. We feel encouraged with the level of backlog we have obtained, which remains more than double the level of reported backlog at the end of the first quarter last year,' Mr. Sagr continued. 'Our first quarter results represent unprecedented performance on behalf of the Company as both sales and net income attributable to common stock are the highest levels of performance in the first quarter since transitioning from MFRI to Perma-Pipe in 2017. Additionally, net income attributable to common stock during the first quarter represents approximately 55% of the Company's full year fiscal 2024 results,' noted President and CEO Saleh Sagr. 'We are pleased with the level of business activity we are experiencing in various markets, which contributed to the overall increase in sales and earnings during the first fiscal quarter. Additionally, we are very encouraged by the level of performance in both the Americas and MENA region, which produced comparable results in the first quarter,' Mr. Sagr commented.

We feel well-positioned that the Company will continue to capitalize on this momentum and drive further participation in development plans in MENA and gain additional market share in the North America region,' Mr. Sagr concluded.

The increase of $6.2 million, was driven primarily by increased volume of activity and better margins due to product mix. General and administrative expenses were $7.7 million and $6.1 million in the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $1.6 million, was due to higher payroll expenses and professional fees in the quarter.

Net income attributable to common stock was $5.0 million and $1.4 million in the three months ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
