Cook Inlet Region, Inc.

What Cook Inlet Region, Inc. does

Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (CIRI) is an Alaska Native regional corporation incorporated on June 8, 1972, pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), owned by nearly 10,000 Alaska Native shareholders and headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska. CIRI operates a diversified enterprise spanning government services, real estate, energy, technology, and aerospace manufacturing, with a workforce of more than 3,000 employees across subsidiaries and operations in 45 states and 8 countries; total assets exceed $1 billion and cumulative shareholder distributions have surpassed $1.3 billion since inception.

CIRI's operating portfolio is organized around wholly owned and joint-venture subsidiaries. Government services are anchored by North Wind Group (1,400+ employees, 8(a)/HUBZone/SDB-certified, providing environmental remediation, engineering, construction, and mission support) and OSC Technical Solutions (350+ professionals, IT modernization and cybersecurity at the Hanford Site). Technology is consolidated under OSC Global (formed 2024), which houses I2X Technologies (280 employees, systems engineering and cybersecurity for DoD and federal civilian agencies) and the proprietary OPTICA cybersecurity scanning platform, plus Granite (ANCSA-compliant shareholder management software). The aerospace segment entered via the January 2026 acquisition of HABCO Industries (engine and airframe tooling, FAA Part 145 repair services, exclusive Pratt & Whitney Legacy Engine supplier). Real estate assets include the Fireweed Business Center (LEED Gold Class A office), Tikahtnu Commons (95-acre retail JV with Browman Development), Merritt I-66 (596,900 sq ft industrial, Virginia HUBZone), Ladera (1,100-acre master-planned community, Texas), and Maple Springs (assisted living). Energy holdings include wholly owned Fire Island Wind (17.6 MW), tax-equity interest in Palouse Wind (105 MW), and minority interest in Cook Inlet Natural Gas Storage (13 billion CF). Land and resource management encompasses 750,000+ acres of subsurface land in Southcentral Alaska.

CIRI generates revenue through a mix of multi-year federal contracts (professional services), real estate leasing and property management (recurring rental income), energy power purchase agreements and storage tariffs (recurring), aerospace hardware sales and FAA repair services, and land/resource leasing (royalties). Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting federal agencies (DOE, DoD, federal civilian) and aerospace primes (Boeing, Lockheed Martin, RTX, Engine Alliance, Pratt & Whitney) with community-led shareholder engagement — including cultural programs (Friendship Potlatches), mentorship (Nuĸyah Program), education (The CIRI Foundation, $42M+ invested), and shareholder distributions. In 2025, CIRI added $79 million in new revenue through the cybersecurity and IT segment, achieved a 60% increase in consolidated net income, and a 30% net profit margin improvement at North Wind Group; in 2026, annual distributions rose 4.64% to $48 per share.
