Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
Over the past quarter, all of our vertical markets experienced strong demand
As we approach year end, we have good momentum
From a growth perspective, we still look at it that even though it's 12% to 15% and maybe in certain quarters, we performed better than 15%, the owner-direct still provides almost double the margin, and that's what we're going to continue to push towards
Heading into year end, we believe we have good momentum and look forward to closing the year strong
We continue to execute on all fronts and the result was continued margin expansion, which in turn led to solid growth in net income, adjusted EBITDA and cash flow
Leading customers in our alternative verticals have been successful in managing their operations and balance sheets
We continue to believe that we have the right platform, the right people, and the right strategy to continue to drive strong operating results
Both of our segments are performing well, and we continue to shift our sales and marketing resources towards the ODR segment as the margin advantage for ODR segment during Q3 was 1,000 basis points compared with our GCR segment
The performance improvement in our GCR segment is a product of execution, project selection, which has been made easier due to our rapid shift to ODR and ability to be extraordinarily selective
Within our GCR segment results for this quarter, was the successful resolution of our largest legacy claim
Obviously, very good margins
While much of the day to day headlines focus on macroeconomic conditions, Limbach continues to see strong demand due to the mission critical nature of our end markets
Our adjusted EBITDA also benefited from two one-time GCR gross margin benefits of $2.4 million that were booked in the quarter as Jayme discussed earlier
Underpinning that performance with our rigorous project selection, excellent field execution, and overarching emphasis on delivering value-added solutions for our customers
During the third quarter, we were once again able to record gross margins above the target range in both segments
The upward revision to our adjusted EBIT guidance this quarter is a function of our continued strong performance year-to-date, along with a small contribution from our two acquisitions during the second half of the year
Strategic geographic location, strong ODR customer base, including a number of national-scale customers, and we believe an incredible opportunity for future value creation
That gives us a decided advantage in being able to propose and deliver value-added solutions for customers without contending with supply chain choke points
That has allowed us to raise our adjusted EBITDA guidance for a second time this year
By providing high value solutions to those customers, we expect to be well positioned to serve their needs regardless of the prevailing economic wins
We’re executing well on our plan with demonstrated success in each of the three growth levers we have identified
We are pleased to have built a favorable earn-out economics into the deal structure which lowers our cost of capital and provides all parties with a great outcome if and when targets are met
And over time, we believe that’s going to be an opportunity from additional margin expansion
As Mike noted, we continue to see solid execution in the quarter
Consolidated gross margin during the third quarter benefited from the increasing contribution from our higher margin ODR segment, strong overall margin performance in both segments and a couple of onetime benefit that flows through the GCR segment
The industrial manufacturing has been really strong this year
Healthcare, Healthcare has been really, really positive for us this year
So again, one of the many reasons we are very enthusiastic about the acquisition of Industrial Air
Excluding these two items, the GCR gross margin was still solid and exceeded our target range of 12% to 15% and our ODR gross margin stayed strong at 29.3%, which was similar to Q2
Consolidated gross margin was 24.5% for the quarter, and even if we were to back out the onetime benefit, we had very strong performance and record high gross margin
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
At the same time, complex equipment is still difficult to obtain with delivery times remaining elevated
And just because we're 25% to 28% doesn't believe – there's still future opportunity beyond that
I apologize
We do see some moderation in equipment lead times for off the shelf items
But from the people side of it, again, it goes down to – it comes down to our people – I think sometimes it's perceived that in the industry that there are certain people that do this work and certain people that do this work
