“In the third quarter, Primoris achieved record levels of revenue, earnings and backlog while also delivering strong operating cash flow,” said Tom McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer of Primoris. “This is a credit to our hard-working employees and the trust of our customers to execute their projects safely and efficiently.

“We continue to see opportunities to grow revenue in markets experiencing increased investment while improving profitability and cash flow through disciplined capital allocation. Our renewables business continues to see strong demand and we are driving higher productivity and improved execution across our Utilities segment.

“Primoris is committed to providing critical infrastructure services to meet the growing demand for safe, reliable energy. We look forward to finishing 2024 strong and establishing the foundation for further progress toward margin and cash flow expansion in 2025.”

Third Quarter 2024 Results Overview

Revenue was $1,649.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $119.6 million, or 7.8 percent, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to strong growth in our renewables and communications businesses, partially offset by lower industrial activity. Gross profit was $198.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $24.7 million, or 14.2 percent, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue in both segments and improved margins in the Utilities segment. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 12.0 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 11.4 percent for the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily a result of improved execution on power delivery projects and some higher margin storm work in 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, net income was $58.4 million compared to net income of $48.1 million in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was $1.07 for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $0.89 for the same period in 2023. The increase in net income and diluted EPS can be largely attributed to higher operating income from increased revenue, improved margins in the Utilities segment and lower interest expense. Adjusted Net Income was $66.7 million for the third quarter, compared to $55.2 million for the same period in 2023. Adjusted diluted EPS was $1.22 for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $1.02 for the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA was $127.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $120.0 million for the same period in 2023.

Our reportable segments include the Utilities segment and the Energy segment. Revenue and gross profit for the segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were as follows:

Utilities Segment (“Utilities”): Revenue increased by $15.6 million, or 2.4 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to increased project work in our power delivery market as well as increased activity in our communications and gas operations markets. These impacts were partially offset by completion of a major substation project in our power delivery market in the second half of 2023. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased by $22.4 million, or 34.6 percent compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to improved margins and higher revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 13.1 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2024, up from 9.9 percent for the same period in 2023. The increase in gross profit was due to productivity issues on some legacy projects from the PLH acquisition in 2023, strong execution performance in power delivery in 2024 and an increase in higher margin storm response work compared to the prior year.

Energy Segment (“Energy”): Revenue increased by $123.1 million, or 13.9 percent, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased renewables activity, partially offset by lower industrial construction. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased by $2.3 million, or 2.1 percent, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by lower margins. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 11.0 percent during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 12.3 percent in the same period in 2023. The decrease in gross margin is primarily due to higher pipeline margins on a mid-Atlantic project in 2023 that did not repeat in 2024, partially offset by strong performance on multiple industrial projects in 2024.

Other Income Statement Information

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $98.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $13.7 million, or 16.2 percent, compared to 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs to support revenue growth. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 5.9 percent in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 5.5 percent in the third quarter 2023.

Interest expense, net for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $17.9 million compared to $21.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease of $3.2 million was primarily due to lower average debt balances, partially offset by a $1.4 million unrealized loss on our interest rate swap in 2024 compared to a $0.3 million unrealized gain in 2023. Interest expense for the full year 2024 is expected to be $68 to $71 million due to lower interest rates and lower average debt balances.

The effective tax rate on income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, of 29.0% differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible components of per diem expenses. We recorded income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, of $51.8 million compared to $36.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The $15.7 million increase in income tax expense is driven by higher pre-tax income.

Outlook

The Company is raising its estimates for the year ending December 31, 2024. Net income is expected to be between $156.0 million and $164.0 million, or $2.85 and $3.00 per fully diluted share. Adjusted EPS is estimated in the range of $3.40 to $3.55 per fully diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA for full year 2024 is expected to range from $405 million to $420 million.

The Company is targeting SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue in the low six percent range for full year 2024. The Company’s targeted gross margins by segment are as follows: Utilities in the range of 9 to 11 percent and Energy in the range of 10 to 12 percent. The Company expects its effective tax rate for 2024 to be approximately 29 percent, but it may vary depending on the mix of states in which the Company operates.

Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to “Non-GAAP Measures” and Schedules 1 - 4 below for the definitions and reconciliations. The guidance provided above constitutes forward-looking statements, which are based on current economic conditions and estimates, and the Company does not include other potential impacts, such as changes in accounting or unusual items.

At September 30, 2024, total Fixed Backlog was $5.6 billion, up $0.7 billion compared to June 30, 2024, and an increase of $0.4 billion, or 7.3 percent compared to December 31, 2023. Total MSA Backlog was $5.7 billion, an increase of $0.1 billion compared to June 30, 2024, and flat compared to December 31, 2023. Total Backlog as of September 30, 2024, was $11.3 billion, including Utilities backlog of approximately $5.3 billion and Energy backlog of $6.0 billion. The increase in backlog sequentially and from year end 2023 is primarily due to an increase in renewables bookings in the Energy segment.

Backlog, including estimated MSA revenue, should not be considered a comprehensive indicator of future revenue. Revenue from certain projects where scope, and therefore contract value, is not adequately defined, is not included in Fixed Backlog. At any time, any project may be cancelled at the convenience of the Company’s customers.

Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Primoris uses earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS as important supplemental measures of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes these measures enable investors, analysts, and management to evaluate Primoris’ performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. In addition, management believes these measures are useful in comparing the Company’s operating results with those of its competitors. The non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Primoris’ method of calculating these measures may be different from methods used by other companies, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies that do not use the same methodology as Primoris. Please see the accompanying tables to this press release for reconciliations of the following non‐GAAP financial measures for Primoris’ current and historical results: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS

(In Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)

(Unaudited)

 

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS

Primoris defines Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) adjusted for certain items including, (i) non‐cash stock‐based compensation expense; (ii) transaction/integration and related costs; (iii) asset impairment charges; (iv) changes in fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap; (v) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; (vi) amortization of intangible assets; (vii) amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs; (viii) losses on extinguishment of debt; (ix) severance and restructuring changes; (x) selected (gains) charges that are unusual or non-recurring; and (xi) impact of changes in statutory tax rates. The Company defines Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Management believes these adjustments are helpful for comparing the Company’s operating performance with prior periods. Because Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, as defined, exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and diluted earnings per share, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measures, net income and diluted earnings per share, and information reconciling the GAAP and non‐GAAP financial measures, are included in the table below.

(1) Adjustments above are reported on a pre-tax basis before the income tax impact of adjustments. The income tax impact for each adjustment is determined by calculating the tax impact of the adjustment on the Company's quarterly and annual effective tax rate, as applicable, unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

(In Thousands)

(Unaudited)

 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Primoris defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain items including, (i) non‐cash stock‐based compensation expense; (ii) transaction/integration and related costs; (iii) asset impairment charges; (iv) severance and restructuring changes; (v) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; and (vi) selected (gains) charges that are unusual or non-recurring. The Company believes the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures assist in providing a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational measures to manage its business, to evaluate its performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non‐GAAP financial measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. These non‐GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, and information reconciling the GAAP and non‐GAAP financial measures are included in the table below.
