Insights

Centuri's Q2 2024 results reveal significant challenges, with revenue declining 16.6% year-over-year to $672.1 million. The company's adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.2%, while in line with historical averages, masks underlying issues:

  • Regulatory headwinds: Unfavorable rate case outcomes for utility customers led to reduced infrastructure spending, impacting Centuri's core business.
  • Macroeconomic pressures: Higher interest rates are causing utilities to be cautious with spending, further constraining Centuri's growth.
  • Project delays and cancellations: The company faced setbacks in bid work and offshore wind projects, contributing to revenue decline.

Despite these challenges, Centuri's $4.7 billion backlog and $400 million in new multi-year contract awards provide some stability. The company's cost-saving initiatives, targeting $29 million in annualized savings by 2025, demonstrate a proactive approach to margin protection. However, the revised 2024 guidance of $2.5-$2.7 billion in revenue with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.0-9.6% suggests continued headwinds.

Investors should closely monitor Centuri's ability to diversify its customer base and service offerings to mitigate regulatory and market risks. The upcoming CEO transition adds another layer of uncertainty, making the execution of the company's growth and cost-saving strategies critical in the near term.

Centuri's Q2 results highlight the ripple effects of regulatory decisions on the utility infrastructure services sector. The company's performance underscores several key industry trends:

  • Regulatory impact: Unfavorable rate case outcomes for utilities in states like Illinois, California and Maryland are having a direct impact on infrastructure spending, affecting service providers like Centuri.
  • Interest rate sensitivity: The prolonged higher interest rate environment is causing utilities to reassess their capital expenditure plans, leading to more cautious spending patterns.
  • Shift in project mix: The decline in offshore wind activities, partly due to project cancellations, reflects the evolving landscape of renewable energy projects and associated risks.

Centuri's strategy to diversify its customer base and focus on strategic bid work is prudent given these challenges. The $400 million in new multi-year contract awards demonstrates that opportunities still exist in the sector. However, the company's ability to navigate the changing regulatory landscape and adapt to shifting utility spending patterns will be important for long-term success.

The utility industry's transition towards cleaner energy sources and grid modernization should provide tailwinds for companies like Centuri in the long run. However, near-term volatility in spending patterns and regulatory outcomes may continue to create challenges for service providers in this sector.

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Centuri Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CTRI) ("Centuri" or the "Company") today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter, ended June 30, 2024. The Company also provided an outlook for full year financial performance.

Second Quarter Business and Financial Highlights

  • Completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and concurrent private placement of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”); raised final combined net proceeds of $328.0 million primarily used to pay down outstanding debt
  • Secured several notable customer awards reflecting total multi-year estimated revenue potential of more than $400 million from a combination of Master Service Agreement (MSA) extensions and strategic bid work; exited the second quarter 2024 with a backlog totaling $4.7 billion
  • Finalized extensive two-phase review of corporate and operating company overhead through an executive leadership-led process that is expected to generate approximately $29 million in annualized run rate savings in 2025
  • Revenue of $672.1 million
  • Net income attributable to common stock of $11.7 million (diluted earnings per share of $0.14)
  • Adjusted Net Income of $17.0 million (adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.20)
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $68.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.2%
  • Announced in June 2024 that Bill Fehrman will be stepping down as President and CEO of Centuri effective July 31, 2024 to take the CEO role at one of the nation’s largest publicly traded utility companies, while remaining on the Board until a new CEO is named
  • Appointed Paul Caudill, a highly experienced power and energy executive, prior Centuri advisory board member, and senior advisor to Bill Fehrman during his tenure as President and CEO of Centuri, as Interim President and CEO until a permanent CEO is identified
  • Engaged a national search firm in July 2024 to initiate the process of identifying a permanent CEO

“In the months since the IPO, we experienced weaker than expected customer spending in multiple states, including Illinois, California, and Maryland. This was largely due to unfavorable rate case outcomes for our regulated utility MSA customers, and we were also impacted by bid work with MSA customers that was either delayed or did not materialize. While these factors negatively affected financial results in the second quarter, our focus on cost reduction allowed us to maintain an EBITDA margin in line with historical averages. In addition, the cost saving initiatives, which we began early in Q1, have instilled discipline around capital allocation and drove solid free cash flow generation on adjusted EBITDA,” said Bill Fehrman, outgoing President and CEO of Centuri.

“Centuri is well positioned for the future. We are engaging new customers and new projects through our growth strategy, and we’ll continue the cost savings initiatives led by incoming Interim President & CEO Paul Caudill. Together, these efforts have set the stage for continued growth and customer diversification. I want to thank the highly capable team at Centuri who will continue to lead our new stand-alone public platform and drive significant stakeholder value over the long-term," concluded Fehrman.

Management Commentary

Financial results during the second quarter of 2024 declined on a year-over-year basis primarily driven by 1) several of Centuri's largest MSA clients reducing infrastructure spending due to unfavorable regulatory decisions or deferred hearings, 2) caution in spending among utilities due to a prolonged higher interest rate environment, 3) a seasonally uncharacteristic, higher margin bid job in the second quarter of 2023 that did not repeat, and 4) reduced offshore wind activities primarily due to the cancellation of a project in late 2023.

Centuri remains intensely focused on new business development initiatives. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company continued to execute its commercial strategy and had success in extending and securing new business across several service lines and regions, including notable strategic bid work wins that leverage Centuri's core competencies. Further, management finalized its detailed corporate and operating company overhead reviews, which will drive meaningful savings in 2025, and started the process of identifying savings through a comprehensive supply chain and asset utilization review program that is in its early stages. The focus on cost control and capital efficiency will remain at the forefront under the leadership of Paul Caudill, who played a key role as an advisor to the CEO in helping to develop and implement these programs.

Full Year 2024 Outlook

  • Revenue of $2.5 to $2.7 billion
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin percentage of 9.0% to 9.6%
  • Net capital expenditures of $90 to $99 million

  • Revenue from our U.S. Gas segment totaled $340.7 million, reflecting a decrease of $51.2 million, or 13.1%, compared to the prior year period. This decrease was largely due to a reduction in net volumes under existing customer MSAs stemming primarily from delayed or unfavorable regulatory decisions faced by key customers and timing of bid projects, as the prior year benefited from the commencement of a large project that has since been completed. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased to 7.4% in the current period from 11.2% in the same period from the prior year. Profitability was negatively affected by lower margins on bid work and one-time severance costs incurred during the current period. Additionally, the prior year period reflected higher utilization of fixed costs due to increased volumes on both MSA and bid projects.
  • Revenue from our Canadian Gas segment totaled $41.0 million, reflecting a decrease of $7.1 million, or 14.8%, compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in net volumes under existing MSAs. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased to 22.8% in the current period as compared to 15.8% in the same period from the prior year primarily due to favorable changes in mix of work.
  • Revenue from our Union Electric segment totaled $164.2 million, reflecting a decrease of $54.0 million, or 24.8%, compared to the prior year period. This decrease was driven by a decline in offshore wind revenue of $20.7 million due to timing of projects, as well as a net reduction in volumes under other existing MSAs. Storm restoration services revenue for the Union Electric segment was $6.1 million for the current period compared to $5.1 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased to 7.4% in the current period as compared to 7.8% in the prior year period primarily due to changes in the mix of work.
  • Revenue from our Non-Union Electric segment totaled $120.5 million, reflecting a decrease of $13.0 million, or 9.8%, compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in net volumes under existing customer MSAs. Storm restoration services revenue for the Non-Union Electric Segment was $30.2 million for the current period, compared to $28.9 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased to 13.5% in the current period, compared to 15.4% in the prior year period. Profitability was negatively affected by lower work hours for existing crews which caused underutilization of fixed costs.

  • Revenue from our U.S. Gas segment totaled $567.3 million, reflecting a decrease of $84.0 million, or 12.9%, compared to the prior year period. This decrease was largely due to a reduction in net volumes under existing customer MSAs stemming primarily from delayed or unfavorable regulatory decisions faced by key customers, unfavorable winter weather which delayed work in the first quarter, and timing of bid projects, as the prior year benefited from the commencement of a large project that has since been completed. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased to 3.7% in the current period from 7.3% in the prior year period. Profitability was negatively affected by unfavorable winter weather and lower margins on bid work. Additionally, the prior year period reflected higher utilization of fixed costs due to increased volumes on both MSA and bid projects.
  • Revenue from our Canadian Gas segment totaled $75.6 million, reflecting a decrease of $11.7 million, or 13.4%, compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in net volumes under existing MSAs. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased to 19.7% in the current period as compared to 13.8% in the prior year period primarily due to favorable changes in mix of work.
  • Revenue from our Union Electric segment totaled $328.1 million, reflecting a decrease of $95.8 million, or 22.6%, compared to the prior year period. This decrease was driven by a decline in offshore wind revenue of $33.4 million due to timing of projects, as well as a reduction in net volumes under existing customer MSAs, which was partially due to unfavorable weather. Storm restoration services revenue for the Union Electric segment was $13.6 million for the current period compared to $13.4 million for the prior year period. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased to 7.1% in the current period as compared to 7.6% in the prior year period primarily due to changes in the mix of work.
  • Revenue from our Non-Union Electric segment totaled $217.1 million, reflecting a decrease of $53.0 million, or 19.6%, compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in volumes under existing MSAs, and a decrease in storm restoration revenue of $19.1 million (which was $32.0 million for the first six months of 2024 compared to $51.1 million for the same period in 2023). As a percentage of revenue, gross profit decreased to 8.8% in the current period, compared to 14.5% in the same period from the prior year. Profitability was negatively affected by unfavorable changes in mix of work, including less storm restoration revenue (which typically generates higher profit margins) and underutilization of fixed costs.

We use these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate performance and to make financial, investment, and operational decisions. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our results of operations and that these measures are useful for period-to-period comparisons of results. Management also believes that providing these non-GAAP measures helps investors evaluate the Company’s operating performance, profitability, and business trends in a way that is consistent with how management evaluates such matters.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (ii) strategic review costs, and (iii) severance costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as the percentage derived from dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue.

Free Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less net capital expenditures. Net capital expenditures is defined as capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of property and equipment. Free Cash Flow Conversion is derived from dividing Free Cash Flow by Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for (i) strategic review costs, (ii) severance costs, (iii) amortization of intangible assets, (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, and (v) the income tax impact of adjustments that are subject to tax, which is determined using the incremental statutory tax rates of the jurisdictions to which each adjustment relates for the respective periods. Adjusted Dilutive Earnings per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Using EBITDA as a performance measure has material limitations as compared to net income (loss), or other financial measures as defined under GAAP, as it excludes certain recurring items, which may be meaningful to investors. EBITDA excludes interest expense net of interest income; however, as we have borrowed money to finance transactions and operations, or invested available cash to generate interest income, interest expense and interest income are elements of our cost structure and can affect our ability to generate revenue and returns for our stockholders. Further, EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization; however, as we use capital and intangible assets to generate revenues, depreciation and amortization are necessary elements of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Finally, EBITDA excludes income taxes; however, as we are organized as a corporation, the payment of taxes is a necessary element of our operations. As a result of these exclusions from EBITDA, any measure that excludes interest expense net of interest income, depreciation and amortization, and income taxes has material limitations as compared to net income (loss). When using EBITDA as a performance measure, management compensates for these limitations by comparing EBITDA to net income (loss) in each period to allow for the comparison of the performance of the underlying core operations with the overall performance of the company on a full-cost, after-tax basis.

As to certain of the items related to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Conversion, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share: (i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense varies from period to period due to changes in the estimated fair value of performance-based awards, forfeitures, and amounts granted; (ii) strategic review costs related to the separation of Centuri are non-recurring; and (iii) severance costs relate to non-recurring restructuring activities. Because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Conversion, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share as defined exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) such measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), and information reconciling the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, are set forth below. We are unable to provide reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP metrics without unreasonable efforts due to our inability to project non-recurring expenses.
