Insights

Sterling Infrastructure delivered an exceptional Q3 2024 with remarkable financial performance across key metrics. Revenue grew 6% to $593.7 million, while net income surged 56% to $61.3 million. The standout metric is gross margin expansion to 21.9% from 16.4%, demonstrating strong operational efficiency.

The company's cash position is particularly strong with $648.1 million in cash and equivalents, supported by robust operating cash flows of $322.8 million YTD. The $2.37 billion combined backlog, plus $500+ million in high-probability future phase work, provides excellent revenue visibility.

The raised guidance for 2024, projecting 32% net income growth and 21% EBITDA growth, reflects management's confidence in continued execution. E-Infrastructure's shift toward data centers and the strong transportation market under IIJA funding provide multiple growth catalysts.

The strategic pivot toward data center projects is particularly noteworthy, with this segment showing 90% growth and now representing over 50% of E-Infrastructure backlog. This positions Sterling well in the high-growth data center market, driven by AI and cloud computing demand.

While the Building Solutions segment faces near-term headwinds from interest rate impacts in Dallas, the multi-year demographic trends in Sterling's key markets remain favorable. The Transportation segment's 18% revenue growth demonstrates the company's ability to capitalize on infrastructure spending, with significant runway remaining under IIJA funding through 2026.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. (NasdaqGS: STRL) ("Sterling" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the third quarter 2024.

The financial comparisons herein are to the prior year quarter, unless otherwise noted.

Third Quarter 2024 Results

  • Revenues of $593.7 million, an increase of 6%
  • Gross margin of 21.9%, up from 16.4%
  • Net Income of $61.3 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, an increase of 56% for both metrics
  • EBITDA(1) of $100.8 million, an increase of 42%
  • Cash flows from operations totaled $322.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024
  • Cash and Cash Equivalents totaled $648.1 million at September 30, 2024
  • Backlog at September 30, 2024 was $2.06 billion
  • Combined backlog(2) at September 30, 2024 was $2.37 billion

CEO Remarks and Outlook

"In the third quarter we delivered 6% revenue growth and a remarkable 56% increase in diluted EPS. Our focus on margin expansion continues to drive profitability growth well in excess of revenue growth. Gross profit margins of 21.9% marked a new record, and we continue to look for opportunities to drive further expansion," stated Joe Cutillo, Sterling's Chief Executive Officer. "We closed the third quarter with combined backlog of $2.37 billion, which was in line with prior year levels. What the backlog metrics do not capture is that our business has moved toward large, multi-phase projects. As a result, we have built a pipeline of high probability future phase work that now totals over half a billion dollars. Our operating cash flow generation in the quarter was again excellent at $152 million, driving our net cash position to $326 million, and supporting share repurchases of $20 million in the quarter. Our business is performing very well and we feel great about the opportunities ahead."

Mr. Cutillo continued, "In E-Infrastructure Solutions, we achieved 89% operating income growth as operating margins expanded over 1,100 basis points to reach 25.8%. This excellent margin profile reflects our shift toward large mission-critical projects, including data centers and manufacturing. E-Infrastructure revenue increased 4% in the quarter, driven by strength in data center work, which more than offset a tough revenue comparison in the manufacturing market and some continued softness in the small project market. Notably, data center-related revenue increased approximately 90% in the quarter and now represents over 50% of segment backlog.

Transportation Solutions had another excellent quarter, delivering 18% revenue growth and 28% operating profit growth. The transportation markets are the strongest that they have been in our company's history, and we still have two and a half years remaining under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) authorization.

In Building Solutions, revenue declined 10% and operating profit declined 12%. Our residential concrete slab and plumbing businesses were impacted by a slowdown in the Dallas market in the quarter, as prospective homebuyers appear to be waiting on the sidelines in expectation of future interest rate reductions. We remain very bullish on the multi-year demand trends in our key geographies and anticipate a rebound in 2025."

"We believe 2024 will be another excellent year for Sterling. Given our strong results through the third quarter and backlog position, we are raising our full year profitability guidance. The midpoint of our 2024 guidance would represent 10% revenue growth, 32% net income growth and 21% EBITDA growth," Mr. Cutillo concluded.

Important Information for Investors and Stockholders

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release contains "Non-GAAP" financial measures as defined under Regulation G of the amended U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company reports financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but the Company believes that certain Non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of those operations.

Non-GAAP measures may include adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, in each case excluding the impacts of certain identified items. The excluded items represent items that the Company does not consider to be representative of its normal operations. The Company believes that these measures are useful for investors to review, because they provide a consistent measure of the underlying financial results of the Company's ongoing business and, in the Company's view, allow for a supplemental comparison against historical results and expectations for future performance. Furthermore, the Company uses each of these to measure the performance of the Company's operations for budgeting and forecasting, as well as for determining employee incentive compensation. However, Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for net income, EPS, or other data prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed in addition to the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables included within this press release.
