MYR Group Inc. Announces Second-Quarter and First-Half 2018 Results
Rolling Meadows, Ill., August 1, 2018 – MYR Group Inc. (“MYR”) (NASDAQ: MYRG), a holding company of leading specialty contractors serving the electric utility infrastructure, commercial and industrial construction markets in the United States and western Canada, today announced its second-quarter and first-half 2018 financial results.
Highlights
| · | Second quarter revenues of $339.7 million |
| · | Second quarter net income of $6.8 million |
| · | Backlog of $1.01 billion, an all-time high |
| · | Acquired the Huen Companies on July 2, 2018 for approximately $47.1 million |
Management Comments
Rick Swartz, MYR’s President and CEO, said “Our second-quarter 2018 financial results included increases in gross profit, earnings per share, net income and EBITDA as compared to the second quarter of 2017. Our backlog in the second quarter reached a new record high of $1.01 billion consisting of short and long-term projects in both our T&D and C&I segments. As we continue to expect future strength in both markets, we believe our strong position and active bidding climates should continue to support efficiencies in our operations and drive further growth.” Mr. Swartz added, “On July 2nd we completed the acquisition of the Huen Companies which will expand our C&I services and geographic reach for delivering cost effective solutions to both new and existing customers. I am pleased to welcome these strong performing companies to the MYR Group.”
Second Quarter Results
MYR reported second-quarter 2018 revenues of $339.7 million, a decrease of $16.5 million, or 4.6 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2017. Specifically, the T&D segment reported revenues of $196.9 million, a decrease of $42.9 million, or 17.9 percent, from the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to lower revenue from large transmission projects. The C&I segment reported second-quarter 2018 revenues of $142.8 million, an increase of $26.4 million, or 22.6 percent, from the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to increased spending from new and existing customers and increased volume at certain organic expansion locations.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $38.6 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $27.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased margins. Gross margin increased to 11.4 percent for the second quarter of 2018 from 7.7 percent for the second quarter of 2017. The increase in gross margin was largely due to improvements in efficiency compared to the second quarter of 2017, which was significantly impacted by write-downs on three projects, and also to a favorable claim settlement during the second quarter of 2018. These margin improvements were partially offset by a write-down on a project due to inclement weather, lower productivity and ongoing negotiations relating to a contract termination. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects, including those discussed above, resulted in a gross margin increase of 0.1 percent for the second quarter of 2018. Gross margin decreased 2.1 percent due to changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects for the second quarter of 2017.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased to $29.2 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $25.0 million in the second quarter of 2017. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to higher bonus and profit sharing costs. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A increased to 8.6 percent for the second quarter of 2018 from 7.0 percent for the second quarter of 2017.
Income tax expense was $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2018, with an effective tax rate of 28.8 percent, compared to a provision of $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2017, with an effective tax rate of 67.3 percent. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2018 benefited from the enactment of the United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017. Our inability to utilize losses experienced in certain Canadian operations negatively impacted the effective tax rate in the second quarter of both 2018 and 2017.
For the second quarter of 2018, net income was $6.8 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to $1.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the same period of 2017. Second-quarter 2018 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $19.8 million, or 5.8 percent of revenues, compared to $14.1 million, or 3.9 percent of revenues, in the second quarter of 2017.
First-Half Results
MYR reported first-half 2018 revenues of $685.3 million, an increase of $29.0 million, or 4.4 percent, compared to first-half 2017. Specifically, the T&D segment reported revenues of $413.3 million, a decrease of $22.2 million, or 5.1 percent, from the first half of 2017, due primarily to lower revenue from large transmission projects partially offset by an increase in distribution revenues. The C&I segment reported first-half 2018 revenues of $272.0 million, an increase of $51.2 million, or 23.2 percent, from first-half 2017, due primarily to increased spending from new and existing customers and increased volume at certain organic expansion locations.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $74.4 million in the first half of 2018, compared to $53.3 million in the first half of 2017. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher revenues and increased margins. Gross margin increased to 10.9 percent for the first half of 2018 from 8.1 percent for the first half of 2017. The increase in gross margin was largely due to improvements in efficiency compared to the first half of 2017, which was significantly impacted by write-downs on three projects, and also to a favorable claim settlement during the second quarter of 2018. These margin improvements were partially offset by a write-down on a project due to inclement weather, lower productivity and ongoing negotiations relating to a contract termination. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects, including those discussed above, resulted in a gross margin increase of 0.1 percent for the first half of 2018. Gross margin decreased 1.0 percent due to changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects for the first half of 2017.
SG&A increased to $57.4 million in the first half of 2018, compared to $50.8 million in the first half of 2017. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher bonus and profit sharing costs. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A increased to 8.4 percent for the first half of 2018 from 7.7 percent for the first half of 2017.
Other income was $0.3 million for the first half of 2018 compared to $1.6 million in the first half of 2017. The change was primarily attributable to contingent consideration related to margin guarantees on certain contracts associated with the acquisition of Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd. recognized in the first half of 2017.
The income tax provision was $5.1 million for the first half of 2018, with an effective tax rate of 28.8 percent, compared to a provision of $2.2 million for the first half of 2017, with an effective tax rate of 47.2 percent. The decrease in the tax rate in the first half of 2018 was primarily caused by the enactment of the United States Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017. Our inability to utilize losses experienced in certain Canadian operations negatively impacted the effective tax rate in the first half of both 2018 and 2017. The tax rate in the first half of 2017 benefited from excess tax benefits pertaining to the vesting of stock awards and the exercise of stock options.
For the first half of 2018, net income was $12.5 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to $2.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the same period of 2017. First-half 2018 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $37.9 million, or 5.5 percent of revenues, compared to $25.2 million, or 3.8 percent of revenues, in the first half of 2017.
Acquisition of the Huen Companies
On July 2, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Huen Electric, Inc., Huen Electric New Jersey Inc. and Huen New York, Inc. (collectively, the “Huen Companies”). The Huen Companies are leading electrical construction firms with offices in Illinois, New Jersey and New York. The transaction closed on July 2, 2018 and was valued at approximately $47.1 million, subject to working capital and net asset adjustments. Additionally, there could also be contingent payments based on the successful achievement of certain performance targets.
Share Repurchase Program
MYR’s current share repurchase program will expire on August 15, 2018. On July 26, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a new $20 million share repurchase program that will begin when our current program expires. The new share repurchase program will continue in effect through August 15, 2019 or until the authorized funds are exhausted.
Backlog
As of June 30, 2018, MYR's backlog was $1.013 billion, which represented an increase of $54.9 million, or 5.7 percent, compared to March 31, 2018. Specifically, in the same period, T&D backlog increased $48.6 million, or 11.2 percent, to $482.9 million, while C&I backlog increased $6.3 million, or 1.2 percent, to $530.5. Total backlog at June 30, 2018 increased $380.9 million, or 60.2 percent, from the $632.5 million reported at June 30, 2017.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2018, MYR had $171.5 million of borrowing availability under its credit facility.
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.

See notes at the end of this earnings release.
| (1) | Last-twelve-months earnings per share is the sum of earnings per share reported in the last four quarters. |
| (2) | Last-twelve-months average basic and diluted shares were determined by adding the average shares reported for the last four quarters and dividing by four. |
| (3) | These financial performance measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial statements. These measures are used by management to evaluate our past performance, our prospects for future performance and our ability to comply with certain material covenants as defined within our credit agreement, 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. |
| (4) | EBIT, net of taxes is defined as net income plus net interest, less the tax impact of net interest. The tax impact of net interest is computed by multiplying net interest by the effective tax rate. Management uses EBIT, net of taxes, to measure our results exclusive of the impact of financing costs. |
| (5) | 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, as defined in our credit agreement, which we must comply with to avoid potential immediate repayment of amounts borrowed or additional fees to seek relief from our lenders. 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. |
| (6) | EBITDA per diluted 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. |
| (7) | 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. |
| (8) | Book value per period end share is calculated by dividing total stockholders’ equity at the end of the period by the period end shares outstanding. |
| (9) | 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. |
| (10) | Tangible book value per period end share is calculated by dividing tangible book value at the end of the period by the period end number of shares outstanding. Tangible book value per period end share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share. |
| (11) | The funded debt to equity ratio is calculated by dividing total funded debt at the end of the period by total stockholders’ equity at the end of the period. |
| (12) | Asset turnover is calculated by dividing the current period revenue by total assets at the beginning of the period. |
| (13) | Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total assets at the beginning of the period. |
| (14) | Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total stockholders’ equity at the beginning of the period. |
| (15) | Period end shares is calculated by adding average common stock equivalents for the quarter to the period end balance of common stock outstanding. Period end shares is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to diluted shares. Management views period end shares as a better measure of shares outstanding as of the end of the period. |
| (16) | Invested capital is calculated by adding net funded debt (total funded debt less cash and marketable securities) to total stockholders’ equity. |
| (17) | Return on invested capital is calculated by dividing EBIT, net of taxes, less any dividends, by invested capital at the beginning of the period. Return on invested capital is not recognized under GAAP, and is a key metric used by management to determine our executive compensation. |
