Antonio Carrillo, President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, “Our second quarter was highlighted by several events, that on a combined basis, demonstrate steady advancement of our long-term strategic vision. Financial results for the second quarter reflect records for quarterly revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, with significant year-over-year margin expansion. During the quarter, we performed well across our three segments, generating double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth on an organic basis that was augmented by the accretive contribution from recent acquisitions. At the same time, we executed on value enhancing portfolio actions to accelerate our growth in attractive markets and reduce the overall complexity and cyclicality of our portfolio.

“In Construction Products, Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 22% and margin expanded 360 basis points, led by significant organic growth and the contribution from recent bolt-on acquisitions in Florida, Texas and Arizona. We continued to benefit from strong pricing momentum, which compensated for volume headwinds in aggregates from elevated rainfall, particularly in Texas. Operating improvements in our specialty materials and trench shoring businesses also contributed to organic growth during the quarter. Additionally, we took steps to optimize our operations and improve margin by disposing of certain underperforming locations.

“Within Engineered Structures, we executed well and delivered a 48% increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA driven by higher volumes in wind towers and utility structures, improved operating efficiencies, and the accretive impact of the Ameron Pole Products acquisition that closed earlier in the quarter. We were pleased to deliver our first completed wind towers from our new plant in New Mexico, which continues to operate on-time and within budget.

“Second quarter Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 7% in Transportation Products and margin expanded 90 basis points reflecting higher volumes and improved margin for barges. Order inquiries for liquid barges continued to demonstrate momentum for a third consecutive quarter. Our barge backlog of $252 million, roughly flat with the start of the year, extends well into 2025 providing solid production visibility.”

Mr. Carrillo continued, “In a separate release today, we also announced the $1.2 billion acquisition of Stavola, an aggregates-led provider of construction materials operating in the nation’s largest MSA. Concurrently, we also announced the divestiture of our steel components business within our Transportation Products segment. Together these transactions closely align with our strategic vision and enhance our ability to continue delivering sustainable growth and superior value for our shareholders.”

2024 Outlook and Guidance

The Company made the following adjustments to its full year 2024 guidance:

  • Tightened its consolidated revenues range to $2.60 billion to $2.72 billion from $2.58 billion to $2.78 billion previously.
  • Increased the low end of its consolidated Adjusted EBITDA range to $420 million from $410 million, resulting in a full year range of $420 million to $440 million.

Commenting on the outlook, Carrillo noted, “I am pleased with our year-to-date performance, and the underlying trends in our businesses remain strong. As a result, we are raising the low end of our 2024 Adjusted EBITDA guidance. At the mid-point of our Adjusted EBITDA range and without consideration for today’s strategic announcements, we anticipate 24% year-over-year growth, normalizing for the land sale gain in 2023. We plan to update our guidance following the close of the Stavola acquisition announced today.”

Second Quarter 2024 Results and Commentary

Construction Products

  • Revenues increased 4% to $276.1 million primarily due to recent acquisitions. Organic aggregates and specialty materials revenues were roughly flat as higher pricing was mostly offset by lower volumes, a decline in freight revenues, and a reduction in revenue related to recently divested operations. Revenues for our trench shoring business increased 8% primarily due to higher volumes.
  • Organic volumes for our aggregates business, which includes both natural and recycled, were impacted by unseasonably wet weather conditions during the period, particularly in Texas. Year-over-year pricing gains were strong and overall demand remains healthy when weather conditions are favorable.
  • Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 22% to $68.8 million primarily due to solid operating improvements in our specialty materials and shoring businesses and the accretive impact of recent acquisitions.
  • Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin increased 360 basis points to 25.2% from 21.6% in the prior year period and Freight-Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin was 28.0% compared to 24.4% in the prior year period.
  • During the current period, the Company recognized a gain on the sale of a subscale, singe-location asphalt and paving operation and impaired assets related to the closure of a small aggregates operation in west Texas resulting in a net loss of $0.8 million, which has been excluded from Adjusted Segment EBITDA.

Engineered Structures

  • Revenues for utility, wind, and related structures increased 33% to $274.8 million due to higher volumes in our utility structures and wind towers businesses and the contribution from the recently acquired Ameron Pole Products ("Ameron") business.
  • Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 48% to $41.7 million, and margin expanded 160 basis points to 15.2% due to strong organic growth in our wind towers and utility structures businesses and the accretive impact of the Ameron acquisition.
  • During the quarter, the Company recognized a $7.5 million gain on the sale of a non-operating facility that previously supported a divested business, which has been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
  • Order activity for utility and related structures remains healthy and conversations with customers for additional wind tower orders continue.
  • At the end of the second quarter, the combined backlog for utility, wind, and related structures was $1,338.7 million compared to $1,507.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2023. We expect to deliver approximately 37% of our current backlog in 2024.

Transportation Products

  • Revenues were $113.8 million, roughly flat as higher barge revenues were mostly offset by lower steel component volumes. Barge revenues increased 4% driven by higher hopper barge deliveries.
  • Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased $1.1 million, or 7%, to $16.7 million, representing a 14.7% margin compared to 13.8% in the prior period. The increase was driven by higher volumes and improved margin in the barge business.
  • During the quarter, we received orders totaling approximately $33 million, primarily for tank barges, representing a book-to-bill of 0.4.
  • Backlog for inland barges at the end of the quarter was $251.5 million, roughly flat with the start of the year. We expect to deliver approximately 69% of our current backlog in 2024.

Corporate and Other Financial Notes

  • Excluding acquisition and divestiture-related costs, which have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, corporate expenses decreased to $16.0 million in the second quarter from $16.4 million in the prior year.
  • Acquisition and divestiture-related costs were $3.9 million in the second quarter compared to $0.3 million in the prior year.
  • The effective tax rate in the second quarter was 14.3% compared to 12.0% in the prior year. The increase in the tax rate was primarily due to foreign currency impacts partially offset by increased Advanced Manufacturing Production ("AMP") tax credits.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

  • Operating cash flow was $38.3 million during the second quarter, a decrease of $89.3 million compared to the prior year driven by an increase in working capital.
  • Working capital was a $49.3 million net use of cash for the quarter compared to the prior year's $41.0 million net source of cash. The increase in working capital was driven by higher accounts receivable primarily in our wind towers business.
  • Capital expenditures in the second quarter were $47.6 million, compared to $52.5 million in the prior year, as we continue to make progress on organic projects underway in Construction Products and Engineered Structures.
  • Free Cash Flow for the quarter was $(6.1) million, down from $75.6 million in the prior year.
  • We invested $179.9 million, net of cash acquired, for the purchase of Ameron, initially borrowing $160.0 million under our revolving credit facility to partially fund the acquisition and repaid $60 million within the quarter.
  • In July 2024, we completed the acquisition of a Phoenix, Arizona based natural aggregates business for a total purchase price of $35.0 million, which will be included in our Construction Products segment.
  • We ended the quarter with total liquidity of $393.0 million, including $103.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 1.5X for the trailing twelve months.

GAAP does not define “Adjusted Net Income” and it should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including net income. We use this metric to assess the operating performance of our consolidated business. We adjust net income for certain items that are not reflective of the normal operations of our business to provide investors with what we believe is a more consistent comparison of earnings performance from period to period.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

($ in millions)

(unaudited)

 

“EBITDA” is defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain items that are not reflective of the normal earnings of our business. GAAP does not define EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA and they should not be considered as alternatives to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including net income. We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess the operating performance of our consolidated business, as a metric for incentive-based compensation, as a measure within our lending arrangements, and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting as we believe that it closely correlates to long-term shareholder value. As a widely used metric by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry, we believe Adjusted EBITDA also assists investors in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation, depletion, amortization, and other items which can vary significantly depending on many factors. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenues.

“Freight-Adjusted Revenues” for Construction Products is defined as segment revenues less freight and delivery, which are pass-through activities. GAAP does not define Freight-Adjusted Revenues and they should not be considered as alternatives to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including revenues. We use Freight-Adjusted Revenues in the review of our operating results. We also believe that this presentation is consistent with our competitors. As a widely used metric by analysts and investors, this metric assists in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis. “Freight-Adjusted Segment Margin” is defined as Freight-Adjusted Revenues divided by Adjusted Segment EBITDA.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

($ in millions)

(unaudited)

 

GAAP does not define “Free Cash Flow” and it should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow measures defined by GAAP, including cash flow from operating activities. We define Free Cash Flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures net of the proceeds from the disposition of property, plant, equipment, and other assets. The Company also uses “Free Cash Flow Conversion”, which we define as Free Cash Flow divided by net income. We use these metrics to assess the liquidity of our consolidated business. We present these metrics for the convenience of investors who use such metrics in their analysis and for shareholders who need to understand the metrics we use to assess performance and monitor our cash and liquidity positions.

GAAP does not define “Net Debt” and it should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow or liquidity measures defined by GAAP. The Company uses Net Debt, which it defines as total debt minus cash and cash equivalents to determine the extent to which the Company’s outstanding debt obligations would be satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand. The Company also uses “Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA”, which it defines as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months as a metric of its current leverage position. We present this metric for the convenience of investors who use such metrics in their analysis and for shareholders who need to understand the metrics we use to assess performance and monitor our cash and liquidity positions.
