Management Comments

Bill Koertner, MYR’s President and CEO said, “We finished 2014 with strong financial performance in the fourth quarter, highlighted by higher gross margin and gross profit compared to fourth-quarter 2013 and four consecutive quarterly increases in backlog. In addition, our cash balance increased in the fourth quarter even though we bought back $5.1 million of our stock under our share repurchase program and invested $3.1 million to expand our fleet.” Mr. Koertner continued, “We are pleased to see further recovery in our commercial and industrial markets as well as strengthening of our utility distribution work. Transmission work remains strong with plenty of small to mid-sized projects to bid. We are looking to expand our business in new geographic markets and offer additional services in our existing markets. We intend to remain disciplined in our approach to grow smart and capitalize on our great reputation, commitment to safety, talented people, fleet resources and strong balance sheet. We believe we are well positioned to grow our business and deliver shareholder value.”

 

Fourth-Quarter Results

MYR reported fourth-quarter 2014 revenues of $251.0 million, a decrease of $3.6 million, or 1.4 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2013. Specifically, the Transmission and Distribution (T&D) segment reported revenues of $191.2 million, a decrease of $9.5 million, or 4.7 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2013. The decline in revenue was primarily due to lower revenues on several large transmission projects that were substantially complete or nearing completion, which were partially offset by higher distribution revenues. Material and subcontractor costs in our T&D segment comprised approximately 32 percent of total contract costs in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to approximately 31 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Commercial and Industrial (C&I) segment reported fourth-quarter 2014 revenues of $59.8 million, an increase of $5.9 million, or 10.8 percent, over the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in revenues was largely due to increased activity in many of our market niches as well as improved market conditions in Colorado and Arizona.

 

 
 

 

Consolidated gross profit increased to $42.1 million, or 16.8 percent of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $33.8 million, or 13.3 percent of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2013. In the fourth quarter of 2014 and 2013, gross margin benefited by approximately 3.5 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively, from improved contract margins on several transmission projects due to resolution of claims, change orders, cost efficiencies, additional work and effective contract management. The gross margin benefit in 2014 was partially offset by lower equipment utilization, particularly large specialty transmission equipment as several large transmission projects were nearing completion, and higher equipment repairs and maintenance costs.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $19.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 from $18.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, primarily due to an increase in employee compensation and fringe benefits related to the increased number of personnel assigned to support operations and higher profit sharing costs. In the third quarter of 2013, we recorded a $2.3 million legal reserve which represented estimated punitive damages, interest and cost of an appeal bond pertaining to an adverse judgment involving a traffic accident. On February 27, 2015, a Florida appeals court unanimously reversed this judgment, determined that punitive damages were not available and remanded the case for a new trial. As a result, based on the relevant accounting guidance, the $2.3 million legal reserve was reversed in the fourth quarter of 2014. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 7.8 percent for the fourth quarter of 2014 from 7.1 percent for the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

For the fourth quarter of 2014, net income was $14.1 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, compared to $10.0 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the same period of 2013. Fourth-quarter 2014 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $31.1 million, or 12.4 percent of revenues, compared to $23.5 million, or 9.2 percent of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

Full-Year Results

MYR reported revenues of $944.0 million for the full year of 2014, an increase of $41.3 million, or 4.6 percent, compared to the full year of 2013. Specifically, the T&D segment reported revenues of $699.6 million, a decrease of $22.8 million, or 3.2 percent, from the full year of 2013, primarily due to lower revenues on several large transmission projects that were substantially complete or nearing completion, which were partially offset by higher distribution revenues. Material and subcontractor costs in our T&D segment comprised approximately 28 percent of total contract costs in the full year of 2014, compared to approximately 27 percent in the full year of 2013. The C&I segment reported full-year 2014 revenues of $244.4 million, an increase of $64.1 million, or 35.5 percent, over the full year of 2013, largely due to increased activity in most of our service niches as well as improved market conditions in Colorado and Arizona.

 

Consolidated gross profit increased to $132.4 million, or 14.0 percent of revenues, for the full year of 2014, from $124.9 million, or 13.8 percent of revenues, for the full year of 2013. Gross margins in 2014 and 2013 included net benefits of approximately 1.9 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively, from improved contract margins on several transmission projects due to change orders, resolution of claims, cost efficiencies, additional work and effective contract management. The gross margin benefit in 2014 was partially offset by lower equipment utilization, particularly large specialty transmission equipment as several large transmission projects were nearing completion, and higher equipment repairs and maintenance costs.

 

 
 

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $73.8 million for the full year of 2014 compared to $69.8 million for the full year of 2013, primarily due to higher employee compensation and fringe benefits related to the increased number of personnel assigned to support operations and higher profit sharing and stock compensation costs. The impacts of these changes were partially offset by the reversal of the $2.3 million legal reserve we established in 2013 for the traffic accident in Florida. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 7.8 percent for the full year of 2014 from 7.7 percent for the full year of 2013.

 

For the full year of 2014, net income was $36.5 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, compared to $34.8 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, for the same period of 2013. Full-year 2014 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $92.0 million, or 9.7 percent of revenues, compared to $84.8 million, or 9.4 percent of revenues, for the full year of 2013.

 

Our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2014 included higher margins due to claim and change order settlements. It is unlikely that future periods will benefit to a similar extent from such favorable developments.

 

Backlog

As of December 31, 2014, MYR’s backlog was $433.6 million, consisting of $320.4 million in the T&D segment and $113.2 million in the C&I segment. Total backlog at December 31, 2014 was $24.6 million higher compared to the $409.0 million reported at September 30, 2014. T&D backlog at December 31, 2014 increased $31.1 million, or 10.7 percent from September 30, 2014, while C&I backlog decreased $6.5 million, or 5.4 percent, over the same period. Total backlog at December 31, 2014 increased $107.5 million, or 33.0 percent, from the $326.1 million reported at December 31, 2013. The increase in the 2014 backlog was due to numerous project awards of all sizes in 2014.

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of December 31, 2014, MYR had cash and cash equivalents of $77.6 million and $155.7 million of borrowing availability under its credit facility. In the full year of 2014, MYR generated $55.0 million of cash from operations and used $39.0 million for capital expenditures. In 2014, MYR purchased 651,258 shares of its common stock for approximately $15.6 million under its $25.0 million share repurchase program. As of December 31, 2014, MYR had $9.4 million of remaining availability to purchase shares under its share repurchase program.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement MYR’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), MYR uses certain non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found at the end of this release. MYR’s definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

MYR believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful because they (i) provide both management and investors meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results, (ii) permit investors to view MYR’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate MYR’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance, (iii) publicly disclose results that are relevant to financial covenants included in MYR’s credit facility and (iv) otherwise provide supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating MYR.

(1)These financial performance measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial statements. These measures are used by management to evaluate our past performance and prospects for future performance, to review measurements included in the financial covenants in our credit facility and to compare our results with those of our peers.  In addition, we believe that certain of the measures, such as book value, tangible book value, free cash flow, asset turnover, return on equity and debt leverage are measures that are monitored by sureties, lenders, lessors, suppliers and certain investors. Our calculation of each measure is described in the following notes; our calculation may not be the same as the calculations made by other companies.
(2)EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to net cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is a component of the debt to EBITDA covenant that we must report to our bank on a quarterly basis. In addition, management considers EBITDA a useful measure because it eliminates differences, which are caused by different capital structures as well as different tax rates and depreciation schedules when comparing our measures to our peers’ measures.
(3)EBITDA per share is calculated by dividing EBITDA by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. EBITDA per diluted share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share.
(4)Free cash flow, which is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities minus cash flow used in purchasing property and equipment, is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or the change in cash on the balance sheet. Management views free cash flow as a measure of operational performance, liquidity and financial health.
(5)Book value per share is calculated by dividing total stockholders’ equity at the end of the year by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the year.
(6)Tangible book value is calculated by subtracting goodwill and intangible assets outstanding at the end of the period from stockholders’ equity outstanding at the end of the period. Tangible book value is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to book value or stockholders’ equity.
(7)Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible book value at the end of the year by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the year. Tangible book value per diluted share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share.
(8)The debt to equity ratio is calculated by dividing total debt at the end of the period by total stockholders’ equity at the end of the period.
(9)Asset turnover is calculated by dividing the current period revenue by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(10)Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(11)Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total stockholders’ equity at the beginning of the period.
(12)Invested capital is calculated by adding net debt (total debt less cash and marketable securities) to total stockholders’ equity.
(13)Return on invested capital is calculated by dividing net income, less any dividends, by invested capital at the beginning of the period.
