Die Bowman Consulting Group (Nasdaq: BWMN) hat die finanziellen Ergebnisse für das dritte Quartal und die ersten neun Monate des Jahres 2024 bekannt gegeben.

Positive
  • Gross contract revenue increased by 21% in Q3 and 24% for the nine months.
  • Net service billing grew by 23% in Q3 and 26% for the nine months.
  • Adjusted EBITDA rose by 13% in Q3 and 19% for the nine months.
  • Gross backlog increased by 27% to $380 million.
Negative
  • Net income decreased to $0.8 million in Q3 from $1.2 million.
  • Net loss for the nine months was $2.9 million compared to net income of $1.1 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased by 160 bps in Q3 and 90 bps for the nine months.
  • EPS dropped to $0.04 in Q3 from $0.08, and to ($0.18) for the nine months compared to $0.07.

Insights

The Q3 2024 results show mixed performance. While gross contract revenue grew 21% to $113.9 million, net income declined to $0.8 million from $1.2 million year-over-year. The Adjusted EBITDA margin compression of 160 basis points to 16.7% signals operational challenges despite revenue growth.

The company's backlog growth of 27% to $380 million and raised 2024 guidance suggest strong future revenue visibility. However, declining margins and EPS indicate pressure on profitability. The share repurchase of $11.9 million demonstrates confidence in the business but may impact available capital for growth initiatives.

The infrastructure services sector positioning remains favorable despite macroeconomic headwinds. Bowman's organic growth of 8% in Q3 demonstrates market share gains, while the pending Exeltech acquisition signals continued execution of their consolidation strategy.

The introduced 2025 outlook of $422-437 million in net service billing implies 12-13% growth from 2024 guidance, showing management's confidence in sustained expansion. However, investors should monitor margin trends and integration costs as the company balances growth with profitability.

1 Non-GAAP financial metric the Company believes offers valuable perspective on results of operations (see non-GAAP tables below for reconciliations).

2 For the three months, trailing four quarters organic growth as of September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. For the nine months, trailing three quarters organic growth as of September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. In both cases, excludes revenue from acquisitions completed after September 30, 2023.

3 Pursuant to the Company’s $25 million repurchase authorization.

4 Basic Adjusted EPS and Diluted Adjusted EPS are all non-GAAP financial metrics the Company believes offer valuable perspectives on results of operations (see non-GAAP tables below for reconciliations). Adjusted EPS (Basic and Diluted) include addbacks for non-reoccurring expenses specific to acquisitions, non-cash stock compensation expense associated with pre-IPO grants, and other expenses not in the ordinary course of business. With respect to the elimination of any non-cash stock compensation expense, the Company computes an adjusted tax expense or benefit which accounts for the elimination of any periodic windfall or shortfall tax effects resulting from the difference between grant date fair value and vest date value. With respect to all other eliminations, the Company applies its average marginal statutory tax rate, currently 25.6%, to derive the tax adjustment associated with the elimination of expenses. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EPS to GAAP EPS, both basic and diluted, is included with this press release for reference.
