Orion Energy Systems (NASDAQ: OESX) raised its fiscal‑year 2026 revenue outlook to $84‑$86 million and reaffirmed that the company will report positive adjusted EBITDA for the year, while maintaining its FY 2027 guidance of $95‑$97 million in revenue with continued profitability. The update coincides with the first‑year anniversary of CEO Sally Washlow, who was appointed in April 2025.
The company attributes the higher revenue forecast to a combination of new enterprise contracts, a growing EV charging and maintenance portfolio, and a three‑year maintenance contract renewal worth $42‑$45 million. In addition, Orion secured new electrical contracting engagements totaling $21 million, further bolstering its top‑line growth. Cost‑efficiency initiatives have also contributed, allowing the firm to maintain healthy margins while expanding its service mix.
Orion has delivered five consecutive quarters of positive adjusted EBITDA, a milestone that underscores the effectiveness of its turnaround strategy. Gross profit margin improved to 30.9% in the most recent quarter, up from 29.4% in the same period a year earlier, reflecting better pricing power and operational leverage. These results demonstrate that the company’s focus on higher‑margin segments and disciplined cost management is translating into tangible profitability gains.
CEO Sally Washlow said, "A re‑energized Orion is on a pronounced trajectory of profitable growth." She added that the company has earned the trust of a major retailer for LED lighting installation and maintenance, a partnership that is expected to expand further in the future.
Prior to this update, Orion had guided FY 2026 revenue at approximately $84 million in January 2026. The new range represents a modest upward revision, signaling management’s confidence that demand will continue to strengthen and that the company’s integrated electrical infrastructure model will sustain higher‑margin revenue streams. The guidance lift, coupled with the company’s consistent EBITDA performance, positions Orion for continued growth in the coming fiscal years.
