Energy Recovery IncEarnings call highlights strong pipeline and margin improvements from Saudi facility, though geopolitical delays noted.

Energy Recovery held its second quarter 2026 earnings call on August 5, 2026, with Interim President and CEO Alexander J. Buehler and Interim CFO Aidan Ryan discussing the company's performance and outlook. Buehler highlighted a strong project pipeline with forward visibility extending up to five years, though geopolitical tensions and financing challenges have caused delays and formalized postponements in the Middle East. The company expects its new manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia to gradually improve margins through lower freight and operating costs as it ramps up in 2027 and 2028, with total capital expenditures for the year remaining at $3 million to $6 million. Buehler also noted that the PX Q650 product launch is proceeding with commercial uptake, and the wastewater business is being streamlined through better resource allocation and sales management synergies.
