Commenting on the annual results, Antonio Carrillo, President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, “Arcosa achieved significant progress in 2022, as we advanced our strategy and generated solid financial performance while navigating a challenging environment. I am proud of the entire Arcosa team, which executed consistently throughout the year to accomplish our strategic and operational objectives. Despite headwinds in our cyclical businesses, Arcosa reported full-year double digit revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth and expanded Adjusted EBITDA margins by 70 basis points, after normalizing for the impact of the sale of the storage tanks business.

“Throughout the year, our growth businesses in Construction Products and Engineered Structures implemented proactive pricing actions to combat inflationary cost pressures. These successful efforts increased combined Adjusted EBITDA for these businesses by 20% in 2022.

“Our cyclical businesses exceeded our annual expectations as we effectively managed costs and improved operating efficiencies, despite the lower level of production. While earnings from our cyclical businesses declined year-over-year, we received large orders for both wind towers and barges during the fourth quarter, supporting our positive outlook for these businesses.”

Carrillo continued, “The divestiture of our storage tanks business in October represented an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to simplify our portfolio. By allocating a portion of the sale proceeds to pay off our revolver, we strengthened our balance sheet and ended the year with Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of 1.2x. Our balance sheet provides ample liquidity and flexibility during this time of macro-economic uncertainty to support our disciplined approach to capital allocation.”

2023 Outlook and Guidance

Arcosa announced the following total Company guidance for full year 2023:

• Consolidated revenues of $2.15 billion to $2.25 billion, compared to $2.05 billion in 2022, excluding $188.9 million from the storage tanks business

• Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $310 million to $340 million, compared to $278.2 million in 2022, excluding $46.9 million from the storage tanks business

• Adjusted EBITDA guidance includes an approximate $22 million gain on the sale of land with depleted reserves within our Construction Products segment that will be recognized in the first quarter

Commenting on the outlook, Carrillo noted, “Looking ahead, we expect to continue our profitable growth trajectory in 2023. We anticipate positive catalysts from increased infrastructure spending across our businesses as we remain focused on our long-term vision to grow in attractive markets and reduce the complexity and cyclicality of our portfolio.

“In Construction Products, our strong pricing gains in 2022 will carry forward to 2023. We expect that increased funding for infrastructure projects and healthy demand for multi-family and non-residential construction to lessen the impact from the affordability-driven weakness in single-family housing starts.

“We are encouraged by the recent orders in our wind tower and barge businesses. In January 2023, we received additional wind tower orders of approximately $45 million, essentially filling our planned production for this year. From an earnings standpoint, we anticipate 2023 will be a transition year as the wind industry supply chain takes time to ramp up following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. We expect to continue to build our production backlog throughout the year for both our wind tower and barge businesses as well as ramp up our manufacturing capacity to prepare for the expected multi-year recovery in 2024 and beyond.”

Carrillo concluded, “Arcosa remains well-positioned for long-term growth given the diverse nature of our businesses, end markets, and geographies. In addition, the strength of our balance sheet and cash flow enable us to strategically invest in our portfolio, pursue opportunistic acquisitions, and enhance our operational efficiency. We remain committed to driving sustainable earnings growth and cash flow to build long-term shareholder value.”

Fourth Quarter 2022 Results and Commentary

Construction Products

• Revenues increased 5% to $221.9 million primarily due to strong organic pricing across our businesses that offset overall volume declines as well as the addition of RAMCO, the Southern California recycled aggregates producer acquired in May 2022.

• Wet and extreme cold weather during the quarter impacted volumes along with a continued deceleration in new single-family residential construction activity.

• Inflationary cost pressures related to higher diesel, cement, and process fuels increased cost of revenues by approximately $8 million, or 5%.

• Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 6% to $49.6 million, slightly ahead of revenues.

• Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin increased to 22.4% compared to 22.2% in the prior year.

Engineered Structures

• Results for the segment were impacted by the divestiture of our storage tanks business. Fourth quarter revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the storage tanks business were $1.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, compared to $61.6 million and $11.5 million, respectively, in the prior period.

• In addition, the Company recognized a pretax gain on the sale of $189.0 million ($147.3 million after tax), which has been excluded from Adjusted Segment EBITDA.

• Revenues for utility, wind, and related structures increased 18% driven by higher pricing due to elevated steel prices, partially offset by lower volumes.

• Excluding the impact of the storage tanks business, Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 2% to $17.1 million and margins decreased 130 basis points to 8.4%.

• The decline in Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins primarily resulted from product mix and production inefficiencies in our utility structures business.

• We received wind tower orders of $371 million during the quarter, which extends our backlog with a base level of production into 2025.

• At the end of the fourth quarter, the combined backlog for utility, wind, and related structures was $671.3 million compared to $437.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021.

Transportation Products

• Revenues were $72.5 million, down 4%. Barge revenues declined 24% driven by lower barge deliveries as historically high steel prices have impacted customer demand. Conversely, steel components revenues increased 36% due to higher deliveries resulting from improving market fundamentals in the North American railcar market.

• Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased $4.7 million, or 131%, to $8.3 million, representing an 11.4% margin compared to 4.8% in the prior period. The increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins was driven by improvements in both the steel components and barge businesses.

• During the quarter, we received orders of approximately $134 million in our barge business, representing a book-to-bill of 3.5. These orders are primarily for hopper barges to be delivered in 2023 and substantially fill our planned production capacity for the year.

• Barge backlog at the end of the quarter was $225.1 million compared to $92.7 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021. We expect to deliver all of our current backlog in 2023.

Corporate and Other Financial Notes

• Excluding acquisition and divestiture-related costs and an $8.7 million legal settlement recognized in the prior year, both of which have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, corporate expenses were $15.0 million in the fourth quarter compared to $14.2 million in the prior year.

• The increase in corporate expenses was driven by higher compensation costs.

• Acquisition and divestiture-related costs were $5.4 million in the fourth quarter compared to $1.5 million in the prior year.

• The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter was 22.7% compared to (12.2)% in the prior year. The increase in the tax rate was primarily due to non-recurring tax benefits that reduced the rate in the prior period.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

• Operating cash flow was $(8.3) million during the fourth quarter, a decrease of $(98.0) million year-over-year.

• Working capital was a $31.1 million use of cash for the quarter compared to the prior year's $36.4 million source of cash, primarily driven by higher accounts receivables and a reduction in accrued liabilities.

• Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter were $52.1 million, up from $24.3 million in the prior year, as progress continued on organic growth projects underway in Construction Products and Engineered Structures. Free Cash Flow for the quarter was $(60.4) million, down from $65.4 million in the prior year.

• In October 2022, the Company used $155.0 million of the cash proceeds from the sale of the storage tanks business to pay down the outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

• We ended the quarter with total liquidity of $635.1 million, including $160.4 million of cash, and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 1.2X for the trailing twelve months.

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 Free Cash Flow and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

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.

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.
