Our reading of the filing · Free to read, no account needed
Southland reported a sharply weaker Q2, with revenue of $113.3 million and diluted EPS of $(1.55), missing consensus estimates of $174.41 million and $(0.45). A $102.3 million negative revenue impact from claim recoverability adjustments drove a $71.2 million gross loss and (62.9)% gross margin. The company provided no numeric guidance and remains focused on financing and a credit amendment with surety partners, keeping liquidity and execution risks elevated.
