Management Comments
Rick Swartz, MYR’s President and CEO, said, “We are pleased with our strong financial performance in the second quarter of 2020, highlighted by revenues of $513.1 million, a 14.3 percent increase over the second quarter of 2019, along with increases in gross profit, earnings per share, net income, EBITDA and free cash flow. Backlog in the second quarter was $1.55 billion, a slight increase over the first quarter of 2020 and another record high for MYR Group. We experienced a moderate slowdown on projects, primarily in our C&I segment, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, yet the project pipeline remains active in both our T&D and C&I segments.  Although the situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid, the outlook is solid for the majority of the markets we serve and we are fortunate to be part of an industry that constructs, maintains and supports our nation’s critical electric infrastructure. As a leader in this industry, we are well positioned going forward and are confident in our ability to adapt, grow and deliver shareholder value while remaining focused on the safety and well-being of our employees, clients and communities.”

Second Quarter Results
MYR reported second-quarter 2020 revenues of $513.1 million, an increase of $64.3 million, or 14.3 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2019. Specifically, our Transmission and Distribution (“T&D”) segment reported revenues of $276.8 million for the second quarter of 2020, an increase of $20.9 million, or 8.1 percent, from the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to an increase in volume on both transmission and distribution projects. Our Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”) segment reported revenues of $236.3 million for the second quarter of 2020, an increase of $43.4 million, or 22.5 percent, from the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to incremental revenues from the CSI Electrical Contractors, Inc. (“CSI”) acquisition, partially offset by a decrease due to the timing of activity on various-sized projects along with impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Consolidated gross profit increased to $61.3 million in the second quarter of 2020, an increase of $18.1 million or 42.0 percent, from the second quarter of 2019. The increase in gross profit was due to higher revenues and margins. Gross margin was 11.9 percent for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 9.6 percent for the second quarter of 2019. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to better-than-anticipated productivity, an increase in higher margin work and favorable job close-outs on certain projects. These improvements were partially offset by decreases in revenue recognized on pending claims and change orders for which the Company is seeking reimbursement, and labor inefficiencies on certain projects. Additionally, gross margin during the second quarter of 2019 was negatively impacted by inefficiencies associated with a joint venture project, that has since been completed. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in a gross margin increase of 0.2 percent and a decrease of 0.9 percent for the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased to $41.2 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $33.9 million for the second quarter of 2019. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to the acquisition of CSI along with higher employee-related expenses to support the growth in our operations, partially offset by a reversal of contingent compensation expense related to a prior acquisition.

Income tax expense was $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2020, with an effective tax rate of 27.1 percent, compared to income tax expense of $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2019, with an effective tax rate of 27.9 percent. The period-over-period decrease in tax rate was primarily due to a decrease in our foreign taxes.

For the second quarter of 2020, net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. was $13.4 million, or $0.80 per diluted share attributable to MYR Group Inc., compared to $7.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the same period of 2019. Second-quarter 2020 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $31.5 million, compared to $20.6 million in the second quarter of 2019.

First-Half Results
MYR reported first-half 2020 revenues of $1.0 billion, an increase of $114.6 million, or 12.5 percent, compared to the first half of 2019. Specifically, the T&D segment reported revenues of $536.0 million, an increase of $7.5 million, or 1.4 percent, from the first half of 2019, primarily due to an increase in revenue on distribution projects, partially offset by a decrease in revenue on transmission projects. The C&I segment reported revenues of $495.5 million, an increase of $107.1 million, or 27.6 percent from the first half of 2019, primarily due to incremental revenues from the CSI acquisition, partially offset by a decrease due to the timing of activity on various-sized projects along with impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Consolidated gross profit increased to $122.9 million in the first half of 2020, an increase of $36.9 million or 42.9 percent, from the first half of 2019. The increase in gross profit was due to higher revenues and margins. Gross margin was 11.9 percent for the first half of 2020 compared to 9.4 percent for the first half of 2019. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to better-than-anticipated productivity and an increase in higher margin work on certain projects. These increases were partially offset by decreases in revenue recognized on pending claims and change orders for which the Company is seeking reimbursement, labor inefficiencies on certain projects, and inclement weather experienced on certain projects. Additionally, gross margin during the first half of 2019 was negatively impacted by inefficiencies related to a joint venture project, that has since been completed. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in gross margin decreases of 0.1 percent and 1.0 percent for the first half of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

SG&A increased to $86.2 million in the first half of 2020, compared to $66.9 million for the first half of 2019. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to the acquisition of CSI along with higher employee-related expenses to support the growth in our operations partially offset by a reversal of contingent compensation expense related to a prior acquisition.

Income tax expense was $9.0 million for the first half of 2020, with an effective tax rate of 27.9 percent, compared to tax expense of $5.0 million for the first half of 2019, with an effective tax rate of 27.9 percent.

For the first half of 2020, net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. was $23.3 million, or $1.39 per diluted share attributable to MYR Group Inc., compared to $14.6 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, for the same period of 2019.

Backlog
As of June 30, 2020, MYR's backlog was $1.55 billion, compared to $1.54 billion as of March 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, T&D backlog was $520.8 million, and C&I backlog was $1.03 billion. Total backlog at June 30, 2020 increased $0.4 million, or 33.5 percent, from the $1.16 billion reported at June 30, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement MYR’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), MYR uses certain non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found at the end of this release. MYR’s definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

MYR believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful because they (i) provide both management and investors meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results, (ii) permit investors to view MYR’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate MYR’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance, (iii) publicly disclose results that are relevant to financial covenants included in MYR’s credit facility and (iv) otherwise provide supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating MYR.

See notes at the end of this earnings release.

(1)  Last-twelve-months earnings per share is the sum of earnings per share attributable to MYR Group Inc. reported in the last four quarters.
(2)  Last-twelve-months weighted average basic and diluted shares attributable to MYR Group Inc. were determined by adding the weighted average shares reported for the last four quarters and dividing by four.
(3)  Funded debt includes outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and our outstanding equipment notes.
(4)  These financial performance measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial statements. These measures are used by management to evaluate our past performance, our prospects for future performance and our ability to comply with certain material covenants as defined within our credit agreement, and to compare our results with those of our peers. In addition, we believe that certain of the measures, such as book value, tangible book value, free cash flow, asset turnover, return on equity, and debt leverage are measures that are monitored by sureties, lenders, lessors, suppliers and certain investors. Our calculation of each measure is described in the following notes; our calculation may not be the same as the calculations made by other companies.
 (5)  EBIT, net of taxes is defined as net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. plus net interest, less the tax impact of net interest. The tax impact of net interest is computed by multiplying net interest by the effective tax rate. Management uses EBIT, net of taxes, to measure our results exclusive of the impact of financing costs.
(6)  EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  EBITDA is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to net cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Certain material covenants contained within our credit agreement are based on EBITDA with certain additional adjustments, including our interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio, which we must comply with to avoid potential immediate repayment of amounts borrowed or additional fees to seek relief from our lenders. In addition, management considers EBITDA a useful measure because it provides MYR Group Inc. and its investors with an additional tool to compare MYR Group Inc. operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes to not directly reflect the company’s core operations.  Management further believes that EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of MYR Group Inc. financial statements in evaluating the company’s operating performance and cash flow because EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, useful lives placed on assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.
(7)  EBITDA per diluted share is calculated by dividing EBITDA by the weighted average number of diluted shares attributable to MYR Group Inc. outstanding for the period. EBITDA per diluted share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share.
(8)  Free cash flow, which is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities minus cash flow used in purchasing            property and equipment, is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income attributable to MYR Group Inc., cash flow from operations or the change in cash on the balance sheet. Management views free cash flow as a measure of operational performance, liquidity and financial health. 
(9)  Book value per period end share is calculated by dividing total stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. at the end of the period by the period end shares outstanding.
(10)  Tangible book value is calculated by subtracting goodwill and intangible assets outstanding at the end of the period from stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. Tangible book value is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to book value or stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc.
(11)  Tangible book value per period end share is calculated by dividing tangible book value at the end of the period by the period end number of shares outstanding. Tangible book value per period end share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share.
(12)  The funded debt to equity ratio is calculated by dividing total funded debt at the end of the period by total stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. at the end of the period.
(13)  Asset turnover is calculated by dividing the current period revenue by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(14)  Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. for the period by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(15)  Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. for the period by total stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. at the beginning of the period.
(16)  Period end shares is calculated by adding average common stock equivalents for the quarter to the period end balance of common stock outstanding. Period end shares is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to diluted shares. Management views period end shares as a better measure of shares outstanding as of the end of the period.
(17)  Invested capital is calculated by adding net funded debt (total funded debt less cash and marketable securities) to total stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc.
(18)  Return on invested capital is calculated by dividing EBIT, net of taxes, less any dividends, by invested capital at the beginning of the period. Return on invested capital is not recognized under GAAP, and is a key metric used by management to determine our executive compensation.
