AtkinsRéalis reports a strong start to the year, delivering Q1 year-over-year increases of 12% in revenue, 25% in Segment Adjusted EBIT and 50% in diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS"). The Company's total backlog also continued to be robust with a 17% increase compared to December 31, 2024 and a 31% increase compared to March 31, 2024, as Engineering Services Regions, Nuclear and Linxon all reached new record-high levels.

"We had a strong start to the year, as the energy transition and aging infrastructure continue fueling our markets, where our unique end-to-end engineering expertise positions us for sustained growth. Nuclear performance was particularly strong as continued demand for our nuclear expertise and CANDU life extensions increased our Nuclear backlog above $5 billion for the first time in our history," said Ian L. Edwards, President and CEO of AtkinsRéalis. "While market dynamics continue to evolve, our businesses have historically been resilient and successful during times of economic uncertainty. Our focus remains on executing our Delivering Excellence, Driving Growth strategy which is underpinned by our disciplined capital deployment framework and a strong balance sheet. We closed the David Evans transaction last month and are pleased to welcome their talented team to the AtkinsRéalis family. We are now an organization of 40,000 colleagues, whom I can't thank enough for their contribution and dedication to engineering a better future for our planet and its people."
