| And clearly, the products that we're providing our customers are creating value for them given the growth we're seeing in the business |
| Our operational excellence, innovative products and differentiated solutions are significant competitive advantages and create sustainable value for our customers and shareholders |
| I think [indiscernible] we feel really good about the ability to collect |
| So we're seeing really nice growth in both of those environments |
| Our approximately 1,400 employees have a best-in-class safety record and are dedicated to creating long-term value for our stakeholders by executing our strategic plan, which I'll cover in more detail on the next slide |
| So, I really feel very good about how we've positioned our business with our solution set and with our customer relationships and market access to grow this business going forward |
| We feel like we've really got a few levers in front of us that can continue to drive gross margin improvement in the future |
| This enables us to increase recurring revenues and realize growth across our traditional in-market verticals while expanding margins through operational excellence |
| But again, really nice margins, even though it's project-based, still attractive margins for us |
| It's attractive |
| Our innovative solutions drive energy efficiency, facilitate a circular economy and help our customers achieve their sustainability goals |
| And we've made some really great progress |
| So we feel good about the progress we're making there and the increased focus with our front-end sales teams |
| Our strong balance sheet allows us to reinvest in our business to drive organic growth and positions us well to pursue inorganic growth through highly strategic bolt-on acquisitions that meet our financial objectives |
| We've seen significant success in the food and beverage end market with revenue growth of 219% over the last year |
| But as we look at emergent heating and boilers and steam and other things like that, it really gives us an opportunity to build a much larger, more sustainable position |
| Of particular note is the 92% year-over-year growth in the renewables end market, which is also a testament to the ways that Thermon is enabling the energy transition |
| And I think that's a great opportunity |
| Additionally, we're well positioned to support our traditional end markets in upstream and downstream oil and midstream gas |
| Should the energy transition take longer and additional investments be needed to support demand, we are well positioned to meet their needs |
| Well, it's really an impressive execution |
| So very impressive and congratulations |
| As we look ahead to the second half of fiscal 2024 and beyond, I'm eager to see what we can accomplish together as we continue to deliver sustained profitable growth and value for our shareholders |
| Through our existing technology, we believe that we're well positioned to capitalize on the vast opportunity associated with the energy transition and decarbonization through the electrification of industrial heat |
| Our large global installed base with longstanding customer relationships drives a resilient aftermarket franchise that generates high-margin recurring revenue |
| Our healthy balance sheet with low leverage and high gross margins as well as our capital-light business model enable Thermon to remain resilient across economic cycles and provide significant optionality |
| As we look ahead to the second half of fiscal 2024, we are well positioned to deliver profitable growth, and we are prepared to manage a wide variety of economic scenarios |
| We are very pleased with our strong performance in the first half of fiscal 2024, and we continue to produce solid growth across our end markets, regions and financial metrics |
| These two examples illustrate the breadth and depth of Thermon's electric heating solutions and our unmatched expertise in industrial process heating that make us uniquely positioned to provide the heating technology needed to enable the new hydrogen economy |
| This quarter, the Thermon team generated record revenue of $123.7 million, an increase of 23% year-over-year, driven by strong growth in US, Europe and Asia |

| Europe has been weak for a while |
| You'll see in the other working capital, there was about, I think, a $10 million, $11 million negative in the quarter |
| So there are a few of those just unique things from an accounting perspective that are maybe driving a little bit of the cash flow weaker this quarter |
| I think some of the other areas where there may be more reliance upon government subsidies, particularly maybe around some wind and solar power type projects, I think those certainly could be at risk where payback periods may be longer |
| Have you see anything that would suggest that maybe there's some softness in the opportunities ahead in your diversification efforts? Bruce Thames That's a great question |
| Asia even lagged that |
| Jonathan Braatz Bruce, on the sort of the renewable front and your diversification efforts, obviously, there's been a lot of noise recently over the last three or four weeks about higher interest rates and maybe impact on some of these programs, utilities maybe cutting back spending and so on and so forth |
| We ended the quarter with cash at $31 million, which represented a year-over-year decrease of 4% |
| Total debt for the quarter was down 23% to $111 million |
| Despite continued high oil and gas prices, orders from diversified end markets continue to outpace orders from the oil and gas sector |
| Jonathan Braatz So if I would summarize, it sounds like you would characterize this transition as sort of a win-win situation for you |
| As of September 30, approximately 74% of our year-to-date orders were from diversified end markets, up 33% year-over-year, while orders from oil and gas end markets were down 13% year-over-year |
