Published

on

Revenue Up 146% Compared to Q2 2025
Company Maintains 2026 Outlook

TULSA, Okla., Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Suncrete, Inc. (NASDAQ: RMIX) (the “Company”), a ready-mix concrete logistics and distribution platform strategically located in the Sunbelt region of the United States, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Randall Edgar, Suncrete’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased to report significant year-over-year growth in the second quarter, reflecting strong execution across our organization. Our teams performed at a high level, consistently delivering materials on time and to customer specifications and reinforcing our core mission of reliably serving our customers. We believe our commitment to putting people, culture, and safety at the forefront of everything we do is a meaningful competitive advantage that enables us to deliver exceptional service and build lasting customer relationships. Despite unusually wet weather across much of our footprint in the second quarter, demand throughout our markets remained strong. We continue to be encouraged by the favorable fundamentals across the Sunbelt, supported by infrastructure investment, population and economic growth, and healthy commercial and residential construction activity. With these demand drivers, our expanding platform, and continued execution of our organic and acquisition growth strategies, we remain confident in our outlook and are maintaining our fiscal 2026 guidance.”

Edgar added, “During the quarter, we also made significant progress executing our acquisition strategy. We established a new platform in Texas and Louisiana through the acquisition of Hope Concrete, followed by the acquisition of Nelson Bros., which further strengthened our position in North Texas. We subsequently expanded our geographic reach further into Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Mississippi through the acquisition of ABC Block Company, a leading supplier of concrete products headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas. We are making steady progress integrating these businesses and implementing initiatives across purchasing, pricing, logistics, and operational execution that we believe will enhance performance and contribute to future growth. At the same time, our acquisition pipeline continues to expand, providing additional opportunities to build scale in our existing markets and enter attractive new geographies.”

Ned N. Fleming, III, the Company’s Executive Chairman, stated, “We are proud of our team’s exceptional execution this quarter as we continue to advance Suncrete’s long-term growth strategy. We believe our high-performing, scalable platform positions us to drive continued market share gains through a combination of organic growth and disciplined M&A. Central to our approach is partnering with high-quality local operators and providing them with the resources, scale, and support of the broader Suncrete organization while preserving the local expertise and customer relationships that made them successful. Through our disciplined growth strategy, focused on expanding market share, driving organic growth, and entering new markets through accretive acquisitions, we believe Suncrete is positioned to enhance shareholder value.”

Revenues were $97.2 million in the second quarter, an increase of 146% compared to $39.5 million in the same quarter last year.

Net loss was $37.1 million in the second quarter, compared to a net loss of $325,000 in the same quarter last year.

Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the second quarter was $13.5 million compared to $7.0 million in the same quarter last year.

Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA(1), which excludes affiliated consultant compensation, in the second quarter was $14.6 million compared to $7.7 million in the same quarter last year.

Total yards of ready-mix concrete produced and delivered in the second quarter increased 123% compared to the same quarter last year.

This guidance is based on current economic conditions and assumes no significant changes in the overall economy or other condition in the Sunbelt region of the United States in 2026. The guidance does not include the potential contribution of any future acquisitions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash or non-operating items that management does not consider indicative of our core operating performance. Such adjustments include share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related costs, acquisition bonuses, public company readiness costs, acquisition-related financing costs, and other (income) expense, as each are applicable to the periods presented. Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts Adjusted EBITDA to exclude recurring affiliated consultant compensation. Management believes these measures provide investors with a clearer view of underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin and Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA margin represent these measures as a percentage of revenue.

Management uses these measures as key performance indicators to evaluate our operating performance and assess trends, and believes they are also frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Management believes these non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of our operating performance and facilitate meaningful period-to-period comparisons. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Supplemental Adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies. Potential differences may include differences in capital structures, tax positions and the age and book depreciation of intangible and tangible assets.

In HelloNation, Real Estate Expert Rachel Blacklidge Discusses What Sellers Should Know Before Listing a Home in Morgan County, IN

Published

on

By

The article explains how pricing, preparation, and local housing market trends can influence selling outcomes in Morgan County.

MOORESVILLE, Ind., Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What should homeowners understand before listing a home for sale in Morgan County? HelloNation has published an article featuring Real Estate Expert Rachel Blacklidge, explaining how pricing strategy, home presentation, and local housing market trends can affect buyer interest and the overall home selling process.

The article explains that listing a home for sale involves more than placing a property on the market and waiting for offers. Sellers who prepare early often create smoother transactions, stronger buyer demand, and fewer delays throughout the home selling process. According to the article, understanding neighborhood pricing, market timing, and local housing conditions can help sellers position their property more competitively within the local real estate market.

One of the primary topics discussed throughout the article is pricing strategy. Setting the correct asking price is one of the most important decisions sellers make because buyers closely compare homes based on condition, location, available inventory, and neighborhood pricing. The article notes that a home for sale priced too high may remain on the market longer than expected, while underpricing may reduce a seller’s potential return. Reviewing comparable sales and recent activity within the local real estate market can help establish realistic expectations before listing.

The article also highlights the importance of understanding local housing market trends throughout Morgan County. In some conditions, strong buyer demand may create faster sales and multiple offers, while slower periods may require additional negotiation flexibility and adjusted pricing strategies. Sellers are encouraged to monitor inventory levels, seasonal activity, and mortgage rate conditions because these factors often influence how buyers respond to a home for sale within the local real estate market.

Presentation is another major focus covered in the article. Buyers tend to respond more positively to homes that appear clean, organized, and move-in ready. Small improvements such as fresh paint, updated lighting, landscaping maintenance, and decluttering can create stronger first impressions during both online searches and in-person showings. According to the article, preparing a home for sale carefully may help increase buyer demand during the early weeks of market exposure.

Staging is also discussed as an important part of the home selling process. The article explains that staging does not always require expensive renovations or major furniture replacements. Simple adjustments like rearranging furniture, improving lighting, and removing highly personal items may help buyers better visualize the space. Since many buyers form opinions quickly while browsing online listings, sellers should understand how presentation influences interest within the local real estate market.

Professional photography is another topic addressed throughout the article. Many buyers begin searching online before scheduling showings, making listing photos one of the first opportunities to capture attention. The article notes that high-quality images can showcase layout, condition, and lighting more effectively than casual photographs. Sellers competing within the local real estate market may benefit from strong visual presentation when attracting buyer demand.

The article further explains that preparing for inspections early can help reduce delays later in the transaction. Buyers often request inspections shortly after submitting an offer, and unexpected repair concerns may create negotiation challenges. Sellers who address obvious maintenance issues before listing may improve buyer confidence and help the home selling process move more smoothly from contract to closing.

Flexibility and communication are also emphasized throughout the article. Buyers may request evening or weekend showings depending on work schedules and travel distance. Sellers who keep a home for sale clean and accessible may increase opportunities for showings during the most active period after listing. The article also explains that reviewing offers carefully involves more than simply comparing prices. Financing strength, contingencies, and closing timelines may all affect the quality of an offer.

CED provides $1,950,000 in financial assistance to Québec technology business.

QUÉBEC, Aug. 14, 2026 /CNW/ — Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED)

Supporting the development, adoption and commercialization of quantum technologies helps to position Quebec organizations in this emerging field, while also strengthening Canada’s global leadership. That is why Carlos Leitão, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for CED, along with the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, Member of Parliament for Québec-Centre, today announced a repayable contribution of $1,950,000 for Femtum. This CED funding will enable the business to pursue its growth internationally.

Founded in 2017, Femtum is a business specializing in laser solutions for manufacturers of photonic chips, in particular quantum photonic chips. The innovative SME offers a technology that considerably improves the carbon footprint of advanced manufacturing activities for quantum and conventional semiconductors. CED’s financial support enables it to increase its production capacity by fitting out new manufacturing laboratories, to accelerate the commercialization of its products, and to create over 20 new jobs in the photonics and quantum sectors.

To support Canada’s quantum sector and consolidate the country’s position as a leader in this growing field, the Government of Canada has implemented the National Quantum Strategy. This strategy aims to help Canadian businesses adopt quantum technologies so they can position themselves in this emerging field and generate economic benefits for the entire country.
