Willdan Group, Inc. (“Willdan”) (Nasdaq: WLDN), a provider of professional technical and consulting services, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended April 2, 2021.

First Quarter 2021 Summary

• Consolidated contract revenue of $79.1 million, a decrease of 25.4%
• Net revenue of $48.0 million, a decrease of 3.3%
• Net loss of $3.8 million, or $(0.31) per diluted share
• Adjusted net income of $2.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share
• Adjusted EBITDA of $4.7 million, or 9.7% of net revenue
• Cash provided by operating activities of $5.6 million

“In the first quarter, net income and adjusted EBITDA were better than the year ago period as we leveraged cost reductions and improved our revenue mix," said Tom Brisbin, Willdan’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We’re encouraged by improving conditions in our end markets, including California, where re-openings have commenced. A portion of the LADWP program resumed in April, and we now expect all programs to resume by early in the third quarter. We have now received three CPUC approvals on our new CA IOU contracts, and expect the remainder of approvals in the next few months. Additionally, we have signed a seventh CA IOU contract with Southern California Gas, valued at approximately $12 million.”

First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Consolidated contract revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $79.1 million, a decrease of 25.4% from $106.0 million for the first quarter of 2020. Consolidated contract revenue for the Energy segment was $62.0 million for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 29.4% from the first quarter of 2020, primarily as a result of decreased contract revenues from our direct install programs for small businesses combined with the impact of having one fewer week in our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2021 as compared to our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2020. Contract revenues for our direct install programs for small businesses decreased as a result of the business suspensions resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and efforts to limit its spread that started in March 2020, which continue to impact our operations.

Consolidated contract revenue for the Engineering and Consulting segment was $17.0 million, a decrease of 6.3% from the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to the impact of having one fewer week in our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2021 as compared to our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2020. Contract revenue in our Engineering and Consulting segment has been less affected by Covid-19 than contract revenue in our Energy segment as the services provided in our Engineering and Consulting segment have generally been deemed “essential” by government authorities and have continued to operate while abiding social distancing measures.

Net Revenue for the first quarter of 2021 was $48.0 million, a decrease of 3.3% from $49.6 million for the first quarter of 2020 (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below). The decrease was primarily due to the business shutdowns related to the Covid-19 pandemic as noted above, which resulted in a lower percentage of subcontractor costs compared to revenue. Net Revenue for the first quarter of 2021 in the Energy segment was $32.7 million, a decrease of 5.1% from same period last year. Net Revenue for the first quarter of 2021 in the Engineering and Consulting Segment was $15.2 million, remaining flat when compared to the same period last year.

Direct costs of contract revenue were $47.0 million for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 37.7%, from $75.3 million for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily as a result of decreased contract revenues from our direct install programs for small businesses in our Energy segment, the impact of having one fewer week in our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2021 as compared to our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2020, and the reduction in pass-through construction management costs.

Total general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2021 was $36.3 million, a decrease of 6.8% from $39.0 million for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily attributed to the impact of having one fewer week in our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2021 as compared to our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2020.

Total other income (expense), net for the first quarter of 2021 was $1.0 million, a decrease of 30.5% from $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of lower interest rate borrowings under our credit facilities combined with the impact of having one fewer week in our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2021 as compared to our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2020.

Income tax benefit was $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to income tax benefit of $1.6 million for the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to increased tax deductions and various tax credits.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2021 was $3.8 million, or $(0.31) per diluted share, as compared to net loss of $8.2 million, or $(0.71) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020. The increase in operating performance was primarily driven by cost control and the increase in higher margin business. Adjusted Net Income (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the first quarter of 2021 was $2.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, as compared to Adjusted Net Loss of $1.5 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) was $4.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of 257.8% from $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of April 2, 2021, we had $25.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. Cash flows provided by operating activities were $5.6 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2021, as compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $16.5 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2020. Changes in cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended April 2, 2021 were primarily due to reductions in working capital requirements as a result of the reduction of revenues from the suspension of our small business energy programs in California.

As of April 2, 2021, we had $108.8 million outstanding on our credit facilities. We had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility with $50 million in available capacity. As a result of forecasted increased working capital requirements related to our $781 million in California Investor Owned Utility Contracts signed in December 2020, on April 30, 2021, we amended our credit agreement to, among other things, ensure an adequate margin for certain covenant compliance obligations. We believe that we have adequate resources and liquidity to fund cash requirements and debt repayments for the next 12 months.​

The impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in future periods will depend largely on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak in the U.S., the actions taken to contain the spread of Covid-19 or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“Net Revenue,” defined as contract revenue as reported in accordance with GAAP minus subcontractor services and other direct costs, is a non-GAAP financial measure, Net Revenue is a supplemental measure that Willdan believes enhances investors’ ability to analyze Willdan’s business trends and performance because it substantially measures the work performed by Willdan’s employees. In the course of providing services, Willdan routinely subcontracts various services. Generally, these subcontractor services and other direct costs are passed through to Willdan’s clients and, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and industry practice, are included in Willdan’s revenue when it is Willdan’s contractual responsibility to procure or manage such subcontracted activities. Because subcontractor services and other direct costs can vary significantly from project to project and period to period, changes in revenue may not necessarily be indicative of Willdan’s business trends. Accordingly, Willdan segregates subcontractor services and other direct costs from revenue to promote a better understanding of Willdan’s business by evaluating revenue exclusive of subcontract services and other direct costs associated with external service providers. A reconciliation of Willdan’s contract revenue as reported in accordance with GAAP to Net Revenue is provided at the end of this press release.

“Adjusted EBITDA,” defined as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, stock-based compensation, interest accretion, depreciation and amortization, transaction costs and gain on sale of equipment, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by Willdan’s management to measure Willdan’s operating performance. Willdan believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows Willdan’s management to evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period and against its peers without regard to its financing methods, capital structure and non-operating expenses. Willdan uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance for, among other things, budgeting, forecasting and incentive compensation purposes.

Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s costs of capital, stock-based compensation, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets. A reconciliation of net income as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this press release.

“Adjusted Net Income,” defined as net income plus stock-based compensation, intangible amortization, interest accretion and transaction costs, each net of tax, is a non-GAAP financial measure.

“Adjusted Diluted EPS,” defined as net income plus stock-based compensation, intangible amortization, interest accretion and transaction costs, each net of tax, all divided by the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are supplemental measures used by Willdan’s management to measure its operating performance. Willdan believes Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are useful because they allow Willdan’s management to more closely evaluate and explain the operating results of Willdan’s business by removing certain non-operating expenses. Reconciliations of net income as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Net Income and diluted EPS as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Diluted EPS are provided at the end of this press release.

Willdan’s definitions of Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS have limitations as analytical tools and may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures or from similarly named measures Willdan has reported in prior periods. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as contract revenue, net income and diluted EPS.

All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this press release are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic and measures taken to contain its spread ultimately impact Willdan’s business, results of operation and financial condition, including the speed with which its various direct install programs for small businesses are able to resume normal operations following government mandated shutdowns and phased re-openings; and Willdan’s ability to expand its services or meet the needs of customers in markets in which it operates. It is important to note that Willdan’s actual results could differ materially from those in any such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from its expectations include, but are not limited to, Willdan’s ability to adequately complete projects in a timely manner, Willdan’s ability to compete successfully in the highly competitive energy services market, changes in state, local and regional economies and government budgets, Willdan’s ability to win new contracts, to renew existing contracts and to compete effectively for contracts awarded through bidding processes, Willdan’s ability to successfully integrate its acquisitions and execute on its growth strategy, Willdan’s ability to make principal and interest payments as they come due and comply with financial and other covenants in its credit agreement, and Willdan’s ability to obtain financing and to refinance its outstanding debt as it matures.

The factors noted above and risks included in Willdan’s other SEC filings may be increased or intensified as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, including ongoing resurgences of the Covid-19 virus. The extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic ultimately impacts Willdan’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. See the risk factor in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Willdan’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2021, “The Covid-19 pandemic and health and safety measures intended to reduce its spread have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business, results of operations and financial condition.” for more information.

Willdan cautions investors not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Willdan disclaims any obligation to, and does not undertake to, update or revise any forward-looking statements in this press release unless required by law.
