The company's debt reduction strategy, including $100-150 million Term Loan B prepayment by year-end, demonstrates improved financial health. Resolution of disputed matters is expected to generate $180 million in future cash flow, setting the stage for profitability in 2025.

Construction Industry Analyst

The substantial backlog growth signals robust market demand and successful project acquisition strategy. Key wins include a $1.66 billion Hawaii transit project, $1.1 billion New York water tunnel and $1 billion-plus California healthcare campus. The pipeline remains strong with potential major projects including the Manhattan Jail, $1.5 billion Newark AirTrain and $2.2 billion Midtown Bus Terminal. The resolution of seven major disputes, while causing short-term earnings impact, removes significant operational uncertainties. The company's focus on large infrastructure and building projects positions it well in sectors benefiting from government spending initiatives.

• Strong year-to-date operating cash flow of $174.0 million through September 30, 2024
• Expecting record full-year 2024 operating cash flow in the range of $425 million to $575 million
• Planning to utilize anticipated strong 2024 cash collections to prepay $100 million to $150 million of Term Loan B debt by December 31, 2024 ($50 million of which has already been prepaid in Q4 2024), with further prepayments of $50 million to $75 million expected in Q1 2025
• Record backlog of $14.0 billion at the end of Q3 2024, up 35% compared to the end of Q2 2024 and substantially higher than the previous record of $11.6 billion set in Q1 2019, with the potential for significant further growth by year-end pending owners' decisions and awards for various large projects
• The Company's considerable progress in resolving seven of its largest disputed matters is expected to generate approximately $180 million of future operating cash flow, however these resolutions also resulted in net charges that drove a diluted loss of $1.92 per share in Q3 2024
• Expecting to return to profitability in 2025, with even stronger earnings anticipated in 2026 and beyond

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tutor Perini Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: TPC), a leading civil, building and specialty construction company, reported results today for the third quarter of 2024. The Company generated $174.0 million of cash from operating activities in the first nine months of 2024. As previously announced, the Company expects to generate new record operating cash flow for the full year of 2024 in the range of $425 million to $575 million from collections related to project execution activities for new and existing projects, as well as from the resolution of various disputed matters. This would represent the third consecutive year that the Company has generated record operating cash flow. The Company also anticipates continued strong operating cash flow in 2025.

With the significant operating cash flow expected in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company anticipates prepaying $100 million to $150 million of its outstanding Term Loan B debt prior to December 31, 2024. Of this amount, $50 million has already been prepaid in the fourth quarter. The Company also estimates that it will prepay an additional $50 million to $75 million of the Term Loan B debt in the first quarter of 2025 with cash generated from operations.

Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.1 billion, up slightly compared to the third quarter of 2023. The growth was primarily driven by increased project execution activities on various Building and Civil segment projects in California and New York, as well as certain Civil segment projects in the Northern Mariana Islands and British Columbia, largely offset by the impact of certain current-quarter net charges discussed below.

Loss from construction operations for the third quarter of 2024 was $106.8 million compared to a loss of $12.6 million for the same period in 2023. Net loss attributable to the Company for the third quarter of 2024 was $100.9 million, or a $1.92 diluted loss per share ("EPS"), compared to net loss attributable to the Company of $36.9 million, or a $0.71 diluted loss per share, for the third quarter of 2023. The higher loss was primarily due to previously announced net charges now totaling approximately $152 million ($111.6 million after tax, or $2.13 per diluted share) that the Company recorded in the third quarter of 2024 related to the resolution of various matters, including seven of its largest outstanding disputed balances.

The financial impacts of those resolutions masked otherwise solid operational performance in the third quarter of 2024, driven by increased project execution activities in the Building and Civil segments. While the net charges resulted in a net loss for the third quarter of 2024, these resolutions are expected to result in a substantial net cash inflow to the Company of approximately $180 million, most of which is anticipated to be received in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The Company's loss from construction operations for the third quarter of 2024 was also negatively impacted by $16.5 million ($0.23 per diluted share) of share-based compensation expense, as compared to $3.5 million ($0.05 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2023. The higher expense in the current-year period was primarily due to a substantial increase in the Company’s stock price during 2024, which increased the expense recognized for certain long-term incentive compensation awards with payouts that are indexed to the Company's stock price.

Management Remarks

Ronald Tutor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We have tremendous momentum with several large new project wins in the third quarter that resulted in a new record backlog of $14 billion. This backlog provides us a solid foundation upon which we expect to build a profitable, multi-year revenue stream, with the potential for significant continued growth over the next few months as we look to finalize the contract for the multi-billion-dollar Manhattan Jail, as we announced this morning, and pursue other large projects. We are pleased to put many of our largest disputes behind us, and expect to return to profitability in 2025, with even stronger earnings anticipated in 2026 and beyond, as various newer projects progress to advanced design and enter the construction phase.”

Gary Smalley, President, added, “We are on track to shatter our previous annual operating cash flow record this year due to strong anticipated cash collections from new and existing projects, as well as from recent dispute resolutions. We have already paid down $50 million of our Term Loan B debt in the fourth quarter, and we plan to utilize the record cash flow to further deleverage our balance sheet, delivering on what we previously indicated would be a key capital allocation objective. These are truly exciting times for Tutor Perini and we expect to continue generating significant cash flow, reducing debt, and winning new major projects to ensure a much brighter future than ever before.”

Backlog Update

As noted above, backlog grew to $14.0 billion as of September 30, 2024, up 35% compared to $10.4 billion as of June 30, 2024, setting a new record for the Company that far exceeded its previous record backlog of $11.6 billion reported for the first quarter of 2019. The Civil and Building segments were the primary contributors to the new awards activity in the third quarter of 2024.

The largest new awards and contract adjustments during the third quarter of 2024 included:

• $1.66 billion mass-transit project in Hawaii;
• $1.1 billion water conveyance tunnel project in New York;
• $1 billion-plus healthcare campus project in California;
• $138 million of additional funding for certain mass-transit projects in California; and
• $113 million military facility project in Guam.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company announced the following:

• The multi-billion-dollar Manhattan Jail project in New York, for which a joint venture led by the Company has been identified as the Apparent Selected Proposer; and
• $330.6 million (with up to $230 million of options) for the award of the Apra Harbor Waterfront Repairs project in Guam.

In addition, the Company is anticipating owners' decisions and potential awards in the fourth quarter of 2024 for other large projects that it has recently bid or will be bidding on shortly, including the $1.5 billion Newark AirTrain and the $550 million Raritan River Bridge Replacement. The Company also plans to bid on the $2.2 billion Midtown Bus Terminal Replacement project in New York during the first quarter of 2025.

Outlook and Guidance

As previously announced on October 21, 2024, the Company withdrew its 2024 guidance due to the adverse earnings impact of the net charges recorded in the third quarter of 2024 related to several dispute resolutions as described above. The Company expects a return to profitability in 2025 and anticipates issuing its initial guidance for 2025 in February, when it reports its results for the full year of 2024.

(a)		General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 include share-based compensation expense of $16.5 million ($12.1 million after tax, or $0.23 per diluted share) and $39.0 million ($28.6 million after tax, or $0.55 per diluted share), respectively.

____________________________
(a)		During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s loss from construction operations was impacted by unfavorable adjustments of $101.6 million ($74.5 million after tax, or $1.42 per diluted share) related to an unexpected adverse arbitration decision on a legacy dispute related to a completed Civil segment bridge project in California, which the Company will appeal; $20.0 million ($14.7 million after tax, or $0.28 per diluted share) related to a settlement on a legacy dispute related to a completed Building segment government facility project in Florida; $17.7 million ($13.0 million after tax, or $0.25 per diluted share) due to an unfavorable judgment on a completed Specialty Contractors segment mass-transit project in California; and $11.5 million ($8.4 million after tax, or $0.16 per diluted share) due to an unfavorable arbitration ruling on a completed Specialty Contractors segment mass-transit project in New York. The period was also impacted by a favorable adjustment of $18.4 million ($13.5 million after tax, or $0.26 per diluted share) due to a settlement of a claim associated with a completed Civil segment highway tunneling project in the Western United States.
(b)		Consists primarily of corporate general and administrative expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 included share-based compensation expense of $16.5 million ($12.1 million after tax, or $0.23 per diluted share) and $3.5 million ($2.5 million after tax, or $0.05 per diluted share), respectively. The increase in share-based compensation expense in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a substantial increase in the Company’s stock price during the period, which impacted the fair value of liability-classified awards. These awards are remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change recognized in earnings.
(c)		Depreciation and amortization is included in income (loss) from construction operations.
(d)		During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s income (loss) from construction operations was adversely impacted by $16.9 million ($12.3 million after tax, or $0.24 per diluted share) of unfavorable non-cash adjustments due to changes in estimates on the Specialty Contractors segment’s electrical and mechanical scope of a transportation project in the Northeast associated with changes in the expected recovery on certain unapproved change orders resulting from ongoing negotiations, $14.0 million ($10.9 million after tax, or $0.21 per diluted share) of unfavorable adjustments on the same transportation project in the Northeast, split evenly between the Civil and Building segments, primarily due to the settlement of certain change orders, changes in estimates due to recent negotiations and incremental cost incurred during project closeout, and a $9.4 million ($6.8 million after tax, or $0.13 per diluted share) unfavorable adjustment due to ongoing negotiations and an anticipated settlement on a completed Specialty Contractors segment mass-transit project in California. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company reached a settlement that impacted multiple components of a Civil segment mass-transit project in California, which included the resolution of certain ongoing disputes and increased the expected profit from work to be performed in the future. The settlement resulted in an unfavorable non-cash adjustment of $23.2 million ($16.8 million after tax, or $0.32 per diluted share) to one component of the project that is nearing completion, partially offset by a favorable adjustment of $8.8 million ($7.0 million after tax, or $0.13 per diluted share) on the other component of the project that has substantial scope of work remaining. As a result of the settlement, the net unfavorable impact to the period from these two adjustments is expected to be mitigated by the increased profit generated from future work on the project.

The increase in share-based compensation expense in the current-year period was primarily due to a substantial increase in the Company’s stock price during the period, which impacted the fair value of liability-classified awards. These awards are remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change recognized in earnings.
(c)		Depreciation and amortization is included in income (loss) from construction operations.
(d)		During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s income (loss) from construction operations was impacted by an adverse legal ruling on a completed mixed-use project in New York, which resulted in a non-cash, pre-tax charge of $83.6 million ($60.1 million after tax, or $1.16 per diluted share) in the first quarter, of which $72.2 million impacted the Building segment and $11.4 million impacted the Specialty Contractors segment; $57.0 million ($41.4 million after tax, or $0.80 per diluted share) of unfavorable non-cash adjustments due to changes in estimates on the Specialty Contractors segment’s electrical and mechanical scope of a transportation project in the Northeast associated with changes in the expected recovery on certain unapproved change orders resulting from ongoing negotiations; $27.5 million ($21.4 million after tax, or $0.41 per diluted share) of unfavorable adjustments on the same transportation project in the Northeast, split evenly between the Civil and Building segments, primarily due to the settlement of certain change orders, changes in estimates due to recent negotiations and incremental cost incurred during project closeout; net favorable adjustments of $25.6 million ($20.3 million after tax, or $0.39 per diluted share) for a Civil segment mass-transit project in California that resulted from changes in estimates due to improved performance; a non-cash charge of $25.1 million ($18.2 million after tax, or $0.35 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2023 that resulted from an adverse legal ruling on a Specialty Contractors segment educational facilities project in New York; and a $9.4 million ($6.8 million after tax, or $0.13 per diluted share) unfavorable adjustment in the third quarter due to ongoing negotiations and an anticipated settlement on a completed Specialty Contractors segment mass-transit project in California. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company reached a settlement that impacted multiple components of a Civil segment mass-transit project in California, which included the resolution of certain ongoing disputes and increased the expected profit from work to be performed in the future. The settlement resulted in an unfavorable non-cash adjustment of $23.2 million ($16.8 million after tax, or $0.32 per diluted share) to one component of the project that is nearing completion, partially offset by a favorable adjustment of $8.8 million ($7.0 million after tax, or $0.14 per diluted share) on the other component of the project that has substantial scope of work remaining. As a result of the settlement, the net unfavorable impact to the period from these two adjustments is expected to be mitigated by the increased profit generated from future work on the project.
