For the quarter ended April 30, 2025, Perma-Pipe reported net sales of $46.7 million, marking a substantial increase of 36.2% from the $34.3 million recorded in the same period last year. This growth in sales underscores the company’s expanding footprint and its ability to meet the rising demand for its diverse range of piping systems, including process, secondary contained, leak detection, steam, and condensate systems.
The financial performance was further bolstered by an impressive income before income taxes of $7.4 million, compared to $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. Net income attributable to common stockholders surged by 243%, reaching $5.0 million from $1.4 million in the prior year’s quarter.

Adding to the positive financial outlook, the company’s backlog stood at $131.1 million as of April 30, 2025, more than doubling from $63.1 million at the same time the previous year. This robust backlog is indicative of strong future revenue potential and reflects the company’s solid order book and customer confidence in its product offerings.
Amidst these encouraging financial results, Perma-Pipe also announced a pivotal leadership transition. David Mansfield, the outgoing CEO, has departed from his role, effective June 7, 2025. In a move that signals continuity and strategic foresight, the Board of Directors has appointed Saleh Sagr as the new President and Chief Executive Officer.
