CEO Remarks and Outlook
“We are very proud of what we, as a Company, have achieved in such a challenging year,” stated Joe Cutillo, Sterling’s Chief Executive Officer. “With our primary focus on the safety of our people during this pandemic, it is truly amazing how they all came together to deliver another record year. These results are a direct result of our people, our culture and our strategy.”
“Our Specialty Services segment continued its outstanding performance in bottom line results due in large part to consistent and highly effective project execution capabilities. Our Specialty Services backlog remains strong, as market demand for their highly specialized capabilities for large distribution centers, data centers and warehouses continues. Our Residential segment continued its healthy growth and expansion into the Houston market. Operating profit as a percentage of revenue dropped slightly year over year, as a result of second quarter temporary price concessions due to COVID and inflation and availability issues with materials. We were able to recoup the temporary price concessions in late 2020, and began passing on material increases in early 2021. The Texas home building market continues to remain strong. As a matter of fact, in the fourth quarter, we poured more slabs than any quarter in company history; something we view as indicative of continued relocation trends we have been seeing from other states to Texas. Lastly, our Heavy Civil segment operating income was up significantly from last year’s fourth quarter as we continue our shift away from low bid heavy highway projects. Going forward, we expect an improved revenue mix as we progress on the attractive alternative delivery projects we’ve booked in recent quarters,” continued Mr. Cutillo.
“We continue to demonstrate our ability to consistently generate cash. During 2020, we generated
Mr. Cutillo concluded, “Based on the anticipated pandemic recovery in the U.S., our strong Backlog and our view on current booking trends and market strength, we expect to generate full year 2021 revenues of between
“We continue to be optimistic for a new infrastructure bill, but our 2021 outlook does not assume any major positive changes in government investment in infrastructure. We expect our 2021 EBITDA to be

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 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, forecasting, as well as 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 these Non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables included in this press release.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements that are considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which may include statements about: the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, additional actions that may be taken by governmental authorities to contain the COVID-19 pandemic or to address its impact, including the distribution, effectiveness and acceptance of vaccines, and the potential ongoing or further negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and financial markets; our business strategy; our financial strategy; and our plans, objectives, expectations, forecasts, outlook and intentions. All of these types of statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this press release, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “pursue,” “target,” “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are largely based on our expectations, which reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management. These estimates and assumptions reflect our best judgment based on currently known market conditions and other factors. Although we believe such estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. Management cautions all readers that the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will be realized or the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and elsewhere in those filings. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made, and other than as required by law, we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf.
