The company outlined a new five-year plan, Road 2030, targeting over $6 billion in revenue by 2030 and a 17% EBITDA margin. For 2026, CPI expects revenue in the range of $3.435 billion, net income between $150-155 million, and adjusted EBITDA between $520-540 million, representing a 22.1% revenue growth, in line with analyst estimates.

Acquisition Strategy and Integration

CPI's acquisition strategy focuses on the right markets with the right partners, taking advantage of a generational transition in the industry. The company has a strong team for acquisitions and integration, with a focus on cultural fit and including employees throughout the company in the integration process. The 2025 acquisitions carried over $240-$250 million in revenue, with 2026 acquisitions adding another $200 million, having a combined impact neutral to the current margin position.

Financial Position and Deleveraging

The company has a strong balance sheet with $156 million in cash and $303.5 million available under its credit facility.
