Strong beat on adjusted EPS ($0.23 vs $0.06 consensus) driven by 20.7% revenue growth and 260bps margin expansion. Record backlog and post-IPO balance sheet with $99.4M cash provide runway for organic growth and M&A. The GAAP loss is a one-time tax artifact — ignore. Watch for guidance on next call and potential M&A given fortified balance sheet.
