President and Chief Executive Officer Antonio Carrillo commented, “2021 was an important year for Arcosa, marked by significant strategic progress as we continued to expand our Construction Products platform and benefited from our efforts to build a more resilient, higher margin portfolio of infrastructure businesses.

“I am very pleased that we delivered full year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA that matched 2020's record level, overcoming significant cyclical challenges in our wind towers business and Transportation Products segment. We successfully managed inflationary pressures, including historically high steel prices, weather disruptions, and the continued impacts of the pandemic, achieving strong revenue and profitability growth in both Construction Products and Engineered Structures.”

Carrillo continued, “We finished 2021 on a positive note, exceeding our expectations in Construction Products and Engineered Structures, and meeting our guidance for our cyclically-depressed businesses. High steel prices continued to weigh on barge demand in the fourth quarter and we have reduced capacity at our facilities while staying flexible to support a market recovery. The idling of our Illinois wind tower facility progressed as planned and we remain optimistic about long-term demand fundamentals once uncertainty surrounding the tax credit for renewable energy is resolved. We continue to monitor improving market conditions in the North American railcar market that we anticipate will be a catalyst for our steel components businesses.

“We see favorable demand drivers for our key growth businesses. Construction activity remained strong in the fourth quarter, particularly in our key Texas, Tennessee, and Arizona markets, and we saw broad pricing gains across our natural and recycled aggregates platforms that create positive momentum for 2022. Fourth quarter order activity for utility and related structures continued to be healthy and our backlog provides solid visibility for the year ahead.

“We ended the year with favorable balance sheet progress, reducing working capital in the fourth quarter and generating strong Free Cash Flow in line with Adjusted EBITDA. As a result, we repaid $75 million of borrowings and improved our net leverage to 2.1X at the end of the quarter, the low end of our targeted long-term range.”

Carrillo concluded, “I want to thank our employees for their continued dedication and focus on our long-term vision. Not only did Arcosa advance our safety culture in 2021, our employees remained highly engaged in our local communities, answering the call to support numerous relief efforts this year. I am grateful for their ongoing commitments.”

2022 Outlook and Guidance

Arcosa announced the following total Company outlook for full year 2022:

• Consolidated revenues of $2.1 billion to $2.2 billion
• Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $280 million to $305 million

Commenting on the outlook, Carrillo noted, “As we enter 2022, we remain committed to our long-term vision, focusing on growth and expansion in attractive infrastructure markets while reducing the cyclicality and complexity of our overall business. Reflecting Arcosa's favorable positioning and competitive advantages, we are pleased with the continued strength in our key businesses in Construction Products and Engineered Structures.

“Led by our growth businesses, the mid-point of our 2022 Adjusted EBITDA guidance exceeds 2021 with consistent overall margins. While we see early indications of improvement in our wind towers business and Transportation Products segment, our outlook includes an Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $20 to $25 million for these businesses in 2022, which is less than 20% of their combined Adjusted EBITDA of $129 million in 2018.

“We are encouraged by the recent deceleration in steel prices along with a strengthening in the level of order inquiries from our barge customers. In addition, there continues to be traction for an extension of the Production Tax Credit, with optimism across a diversified set of parties. We remain confident in the long-term fundamentals of these businesses and expect to see recovery in 2023 and beyond. Our strong balance sheet and liquidity enable us to navigate cyclical challenges while pursuing strategic growth opportunities.”

Fourth Quarter 2021 Results and Commentary

Construction Products

• Revenues increased 42% to $211.7 million primarily driven by the recent two large acquisitions, StonePoint and Southwest Rock, along with strong volume and pricing gains in recycled aggregates and improved demand conditions and higher raw material pricing in our shoring products business.
• Led by favorable pricing, revenues in our legacy natural aggregates business increased year-over-year. Legacy volumes were up modestly as healthy volume gains in most markets were partially offset by lower volumes in Central and West Texas as certain large projects rolled off and oil and gas-related headwinds persisted.
• Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 51% to $46.9 million, outpacing the increase in revenues.
• Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin increased 140 basis points to 22.2% compared to 20.8% in the prior year primarily due to higher margins in our recycled and legacy natural aggregates businesses and the accretive impact from Southwest Rock.

Engineered Structures

• Revenues increased 12% year-over-year to $234.5 million driven by higher steel prices and strong demand for utility structures and storage tanks, which more than offset lower anticipated volumes in wind towers.
• Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 21% to $28.3 million, representing a 12.1% margin compared to an 11.1% margin a year ago.
• The increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was primarily driven by higher volumes and margins in our utility structures and U.S. storage tank businesses, more than offsetting the expected break-even Adjusted EBITDA in our wind towers business as we idled our Clinton, Illinois facility in the quarter.
• Order activity for utility, telecom, and traffic structures continued to be healthy during the quarter, with a book-to-bill above 1.0, driven by grid hardening and reliability initiatives, the 5G build-out, and road infrastructure investment.
• The combined backlog for utility, wind, and related structures at the end of the fourth quarter was $437.5 million compared to $465.9 million at the end of the third quarter of 2021.

Transportation Products

• Revenues were $75.6 million, down 25% year-over-year. Barge revenues decreased 39% driven by lower tank and hopper barge deliveries as COVID-19 and higher steel prices limited demand. Conversely, steel components revenues increased 42% primarily due to higher volumes to support improving demand in the North American railcar market.
• Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased 77% year-over-year to $3.6 million, representing a 4.8% margin compared to a 15.7% margin a year ago. Segment margins declined due to lower pricing and a reduction in operational efficiencies from decreased capacity utilization in our barge business.
• During the quarter, we received orders of approximately $13 million in our barge business, with pricing reflective of weak market conditions. Backlog at the end of the quarter, which is all scheduled to deliver in 2022, was $92.7 million compared to $130.2 million at the end of the third quarter of 2021.
• We continued to adjust costs in our barge business, divesting a non-operating plant and idling our Madisonville, Louisiana facility during the quarter. We have reduced capacity at our other two operating plants to align with lower production levels for 2022, while we remain flexible to allow time for demand to recover.

Corporate and Other Financial Notes

• Corporate expenses increased to $24.4 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $16.5 million in the prior year, primarily resulting from a legal settlement of $8.7 million related to a previously disclosed matter regarding events that pre-dated the Company's spin-off.
• The effective tax rate for the quarter was (12.2)% compared to 2.8% in the prior year. The reduction in the tax rate was primarily due to tax benefits recognized during the quarter related to true-ups of the Company's 2020 tax returns.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

• Operating cash flow was $89.7 million and Free Cash Flow was $65.4 million. Free Cash Flow was positively impacted by decreased working capital in the fourth quarter of $36.4 million, driven by lower receivables and inventory.
• Capital expenditures were $24.3 million.
• As previously announced, we received proceeds of $18.2 million during the quarter from the divestiture of an asphalt operation acquired as part of the StonePoint acquisition and determined not to be strategic for the Company.
• In addition, the Company negotiated the sale of two other non-core facilities for total proceeds of $23.3 million. The utility structures and barge facilities had both been idled prior to the Company's spin-off. We received the proceeds from the sale of the utility structures facility in February 2022 at closing and a related $2.9 million impairment charge was recorded within the Engineered Structures segment in the fourth quarter.
• During the quarter, we repaid $75.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
• We ended the quarter with total liquidity of $419.3 million, including $72.9 million of cash, and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 2.1X for the trailing twelve months.

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.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Diluted EPS and Free Cash Flow

(unaudited)

GAAP does not define “Adjusted Diluted EPS” and it should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including diluted EPS. We use this metric to assess the operating performance of our consolidated business. We adjust diluted EPS 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.

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. 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.

Reconciliation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

(unaudited)

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.

		December 31, 2021

Net Debt		$	612.8
