MYR Group Inc. Announces Third-Quarter and First Nine-Months 2020 Results
Rolling Meadows, Ill., October 28, 2020 – 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 third-quarter and first nine-months 2020 financial results.
Highlights
•Record high quarterly revenues of $607.9 million for the third quarter of 2020
•Record high quarterly net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. of $17.3 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020
•Record high quarterly EBITDA of $36.2 million for the third quarter of 2020
•Record high backlog of $1.72 billion
Management Comments
Rick Swartz, MYR’s President and CEO, said, “Our strong third-quarter 2020 financial results, included a net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. of $17.3 million, a 67.0 percent increase over the third quarter of 2019, along with increases in revenues, gross profit, EBITDA and free cash flow as compared to the same period of 2019. Our backlog at the end third quarter was $1.72 billion, reflecting the current stability in the markets we serve, as well as our competitive strength.” Mr. Swartz continued, “We are pleased that the plans we enacted during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have allowed us to continue to meet the needs of our clients, remain profitable, grow our business and keep our people working as safely and productively as possible. We believe our operational excellence, strong market position and the current bidding climates in both our T&D and C&I segments will support further efficiencies in our operations, and the execution of our long-term strategic growth plan.”
Third Quarter Results
MYR reported third-quarter 2020 revenues of $607.9 million, an increase of $24.7 million, or 4.2 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2019. Specifically, our Transmission and Distribution (“T&D”) segment reported revenues of $299.7 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $4.8 million, or 1.6 percent, from the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to an increase in storm work related to certain weather events partially offset by a delay in start-up activity on certain transmission projects. Our Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”) segment reported revenues of $308.2 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $19.9 million, or 6.9 percent, from the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to increases in volume associated with the CSI Electrical Contractors, Inc. (“CSI”) acquisition and transportation-related services, partially offset by slowdowns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $76.5 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of $17.3 million or 29.2 percent, from the third quarter of 2019. The increase in gross profit was due to higher revenues and margins. Gross margin was 12.6 percent for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 10.2 percent for the third quarter of 2019. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in higher margin and storm-related work, better-than-anticipated productivity on certain projects and settlements related to previously unrecognized revenues on project claims and change orders. These improvements were partially offset by labor inefficiencies on certain projects and decreases in revenue recognized on pending claims and change orders for which the Company is seeking reimbursement. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in a gross margin decrease of 0.3 percent and an increase of 0.2 percent for the third quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased to $51.4 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $41.7 million for the third quarter of 2019. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to an increase in bonus, profit sharing and other employee-related expenses to support the growth in our operations, as well as incremental cost associated with our CSI operations, and an increase in contingent compensation expense related to a prior acquisition.
Income tax expense was $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2020, with an effective tax rate of 27.4 percent, compared to income tax expense of $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2019, with an effective tax rate of 26.4 percent. The period-over-period increase in tax rate was primarily due to the impact of the global intangible low tax income (“GILTI”) and other permanent difference items.
1
For the third quarter of 2020, net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. was $17.3 million, or $1.02 per diluted share attributable to MYR Group Inc., compared to $10.4 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the same period of 2019. Third-quarter 2020 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $36.2 million, compared to $28.2 million in the third quarter of 2019.
First Nine-Months Results
MYR reported first nine-months 2020 revenues of $1.6 billion, an increase of $0.1 billion, or 9.3 percent, compared to the first nine months of 2019. Specifically, the T&D segment reported revenues of $835.8 million, an increase of $12.4 million, or 1.5 percent, from the first nine months of 2019, primarily due to an increase in revenue on distribution projects, partially offset by a decrease in revenue on transmission projects. The C&I segment reported revenues of $803.7 million, an increase of $127.0 million, or 18.8 percent from the first nine months of 2019, primarily due to incremental revenues from the CSI acquisition, partially offset by a decrease due to the timing of activity on various-sized projects along with impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $199.4 million in the first nine months of 2020, an increase of $54.2 million or 37.3 percent, from the first nine months of 2019. The increase in gross profit was due to higher revenues and margins. Gross margin was 12.2 percent for the first nine months of 2020 compared to 9.7 percent for the first nine months of 2019. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in higher margin and storm-related work as well as better-than-anticipated productivity on certain projects. These increases were partially offset by labor inefficiencies on certain projects. Additionally, gross margin during the first nine months of 2019 was negatively impacted by projects at lower than historical margins and inefficiencies associated with a joint venture project, that has since been completed. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in gross margin decreases of 0.4 percent and 0.5 percent for the first nine months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
SG&A increased to $137.7 million in the first nine months of 2020, compared to $108.6 million for the first nine months of 2019. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to the acquisition of CSI, along with an increase in bonus, profit sharing and other employee-related expenses to support the growth in our operations.
Income tax expense was $15.6 million for the first nine months of 2020, with an effective tax rate of 27.7 percent, compared to income tax expense of $8.8 million for the first nine months of 2019, with an effective tax rate of 27.2 percent.
For the first nine months of 2020, net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. was $40.6 million, or $2.42 per diluted share attributable to MYR Group Inc., compared to $24.9 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, for the same period of 2019.
Backlog
As of September 30, 2020, MYR's backlog was $1.72 billion, compared to $1.55 billion as of June 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, T&D backlog was $746.6 million, and C&I backlog was $973.0 million. Total backlog at September 30, 2020 increased $0.35 billion, or 25.9 percent, from the $1.37 billion reported at September 30, 2019.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2020, MYR had $310.4 million of borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility.
Share Repurchase Program
On October 22, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new $50.0 million share repurchase program effective November 2, 2020. The Company intends to fund the share repurchase program from cash on hand and through borrowings under its credit facility. The new share repurchase program will expire on November 2, 2021, or when the authorized funds are exhausted, whichever is earlier.
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.
2
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.

Various statements in this announcement, including those that express a belief, expectation, or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future production, revenue, income, capital spending, segment improvements and investments.

(1)Last-twelve-months earnings per share is the sum of earnings per share attributable to MYR Group Inc. reported in the last four quarters.
(2)Last-twelve-months weighted average basic and diluted shares attributable to MYR Group Inc. were determined by adding the weighted average shares reported for the last four quarters and dividing by four.
(3)Funded debt includes outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and our outstanding equipment notes.
(4)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.
(5)EBI, net of taxes is defined as net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. 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 EBI, net of taxes, to measure our results exclusive of the impact of financing costs.
(6)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. Certain material covenants contained within our credit agreement are based on EBITDA with certain additional adjustments, including our interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio, 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 provides MYR Group Inc. and its investors with an additional tool to compare MYR Group Inc. operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes to not directly reflect the company’s core operations. Management further believes that EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of MYR Group Inc. financial statements in evaluating the company’s operating performance and cash flow because EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, useful lives placed on assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.
(7)EBITDA per diluted share is calculated by dividing EBITDA by the weighted average number of diluted shares attributable to MYR Group Inc. 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.
(8)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 attributable to MYR Group Inc., 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.
(9)Book value per period end share is calculated by dividing total stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. at the end of the period by the period end shares outstanding.
(10)Tangible book value is calculated by subtracting goodwill and intangible assets outstanding at the end of the period from stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. Tangible book value is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to book value or stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc.
(11)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.
(12)The funded debt to equity ratio is calculated by dividing total funded debt at the end of the period by total stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. at the end of the period.
(13)Asset turnover is calculated by dividing the current period revenue by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(14)Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. for the period by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(15)Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. for the period by total stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. at the beginning of the period.
(16)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.
(17)Invested capital is calculated by adding net funded debt (total funded debt less cash and marketable securities) to total stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc.
(18)Return on invested capital is calculated by dividing EBI, 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.
