“We delivered record revenues and significantly increased total backlog in the second quarter, supported by continued strength in our utility and energy/renewables segments. Over 94 percent of our second quarter revenue was driven by these two segments, underscoring the work we have done to expand our presence in growing markets with strong secular tailwinds, which has helped offset declining volumes in our pipeline segment,” said Tom McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer of Primoris.

“During the quarter, we also announced our acquisition of PLH Group, substantially growing our exposure to attractive, higher-margin utility markets while accelerating our shift towards recurring MSA revenue. PLH’s foothold in the renewable power-to-grid market also creates solid cross-selling opportunities with the solar projects we have recently been awarded and those that we are pursuing, totaling close to half a billion dollars in value year-to-date.”

“While we have faced operational challenges associated with fuel and labor inflation, our teams have done a great job of re-negotiating rates and leveraging commercial discipline to mitigate the impact of these factors going forward,” he added. “Our robust performance this quarter gives us confidence in the long-term strength of our business strategy, and we look forward to continuing this momentum into the latter part of 2022.”

Second Quarter 2022 Results Overview

Revenue was $1,022.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $141.3 million, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue in our Energy/Renewables segment as well as our Utilities segment, partially offset by a decrease in revenue in our Pipeline segment. Gross profit was $92.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $20.9 million compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in margins, partially offset by an increase in revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 9.0 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 12.8 percent for the same period in 2021, primarily as a result of negative gross margins in the Company’s Pipeline segment, the favorable impact from the closeout of multiple pipeline projects in the Company’s Pipeline segment in 2021, and increased labor, material, and fuel costs in the Company’s Utilities segment. Partially offsetting the overall decline was the favorable impact of the change in useful lives of certain equipment which reduced the Company’s depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 by $5.3 million.

Utilities Segment (“Utilities”): Revenue increased by $50.7 million, or 12 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to increased activity with power delivery customers ($38.7 million). Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $8.5 million, or 17 percent, compared to the same period in 2021, due to lower margins, partially offset by higher revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 8.5 percent during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 11.5 percent in the same period in 2021, primarily due to increased fuel and labor costs from the inflationary environment we are experiencing in 2022.

Energy and Renewables Segment (“Energy/Renewables”): Revenue increased by $151.3 million, or 45 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to increased renewable energy activity ($98.6 million) and electric power activity that began in the third quarter of 2021. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased by $19.9 million, or 60 percent, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to higher revenue and margins. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 10.9 percent during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 9.9 percent in the same period in 2021, primarily due to higher costs associated with a liquified natural gas (“LNG”) project in the northeast in 2021 and increased revenue on higher margin renewable energy projects in 2022.

Pipeline Services (“Pipeline”): Revenue decreased by $60.7 million, or 50 percent, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily due to the substantial completion of four pipeline projects in 2021 ($63.6 million) and a decline in the overall midstream pipeline market demand. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $32.3 million compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to lower revenue and margins. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to (2.3 percent) during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 25.5 percent in the same period in 2021, primarily due to lower than anticipated volumes in 2022, which lead to higher relative carrying costs for equipment and personnel. In addition, we had a favorable impact from the closeout of multiple pipeline projects in 2021.

Other Income Statement Information

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $59.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $2.0 million, or 3 percent, compared to 2021. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 5.8 percent in 2022 compared to 6.6 percent in 2021 primarily due to increased revenue.

Interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $4.7 million compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease of $0.1 million was due to a favorable impact from the change in the fair value of our interest rate swap, partially offset by higher average debt balances from the borrowings incurred related to the FIH acquisition as well as a higher average interest rate.

The Company recorded an income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 of $13.1 million compared to income tax expense of $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The effective tax rate was 20.7 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21 percent, primarily due to state income taxes net of the effects of a release in a valuation allowance during the second quarter.

Sale and Leaseback Transaction

The company completed a sale and leaseback transaction of land and buildings in California for an aggregate sales price, net of closing costs, of $49.9 million and recorded a gain on the transaction of $40.1 million as we continue to reduce costs and improve our operational footprint.

Outlook

The Company is raising its estimates for the year ending December 31, 2022. Net income is expected to be between $2.40 and $2.60 per fully diluted share. Adjusted EPS is estimated in the range of $2.39 to $2.59 for 2022.

The Company is targeting SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue in the low-to-mid six percent range for the 2022 calendar year. The Company’s targeted gross margins by segment are as follows: Utilities in the range of 10 to 13 percent; Energy/Renewables in the range of 9 to 12 percent; and Pipeline in the range of 1 to 3 percent for 2022. The Company expects its effective tax rate for 2022 to be approximately 20.5 percent but may vary depending on the mix of states in which the Company operates.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company spent approximately $65.8 million for capital expenditures, which included $36.6 million for construction equipment. Capital expenditures for the remaining six months of 2022 are expected to total between $60 million and $70 million, which includes $30 million to $40 million for construction equipment.

The guidance provided above constitutes forward-looking statements, which are based on current economic conditions and estimates, and the Company does not include other potential impacts, such as changes in accounting or unusual items.

MSA Backlog represents estimated MSA revenue for the next four quarters. MSA Backlog was $1.8 billion, an increase of 10 percent, compared to $1.6 billion at March 31, 2022. Total Backlog as of June 30, 2022 was $4.6 billion. The Company expects that during the next four quarters, the Company will recognize as revenue approximately 76 percent of the total backlog at June 30, 2022, composed of backlog of approximately: 100 percent of Utilities; 62 percent of Energy/Renewables; and 100 percent of Pipeline.

Backlog, including estimated MSA revenue, should not be considered a comprehensive indicator of future revenue. Revenue from certain projects where scope, and therefore contract value, is not adequately defined, is not included in Fixed Backlog. At any time, any project may be cancelled at the convenience of the Company’s customers.

Non-GAAP Measures
Schedule 1 Primoris Services Corporation Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS (In Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts) (Unaudited)
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS Primoris defines Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) adjusted for certain items including, (i) non‐cash stock‐based compensation expense; (ii) transaction/integration and related costs; (iii) asset impairment charges; (iv) changes in fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap; (v) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; (vi) amortization of intangible assets; (vii) amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs; (viii) losses on extinguishment of debt; (ix) severance and restructuring changes; (x) selected (gains) charges that are unusual or non-recurring; and (xi) impact of changes in statutory tax rates. The Company defines Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Management believes these adjustments are helpful for comparing the Company’s operating performance with prior periods. Because Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, as defined, exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and diluted earnings per share, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measures, net income and diluted earnings per share, and information reconciling the GAAP and non‐GAAP financial measures, are included in the table below.

Schedule 2 Primoris Services Corporation Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (In Thousands) (Unaudited)
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Primoris defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain items including, (i) non‐cash stock‐based compensation expense; (ii) transaction/integration and related costs; (iii) asset impairment charges; (iv) severance and restructuring changes; (v) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; and (vi) selected (gains) charges that are unusual or non-recurring. The Company believes the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures assist in providing a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational measures to manage its business, to evaluate its performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non‐GAAP financial measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. These non‐GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, and information reconciling the GAAP and non‐GAAP financial measures are included in the table below.
