News Release Details

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill., March 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MYR Group Inc. ("MYR" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:MYRG), a leading specialty contractor serving the electrical infrastructure market in the United States and Canada, today announced its fourth-quarter and full-year 2016 financial results.

Highlights for 2016

• Fourth quarter revenues of $343.7 million, a record high quarterly revenue
• Fourth quarter net income of $7.8 million, or $0.48 per share
• Full-year revenues of $1.142 billion, a record high annual revenue
• Full-year net income of $21.4 million, or $1.23 per share
• Backlog increase of $68.2 million, or 11.0 percent, from the prior quarter to $688.8 million, our highest level since December 31, 2011
• Acquired substantially all of the assets of Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd., which expands MYR's footprint in western Canada.

Management Comments
Rick Swartz, MYR's President and CEO said, "Favorable weather contributed to our strong fourth quarter, and our full-year 2016 financial performance demonstrates the success of our efforts to grow MYR through our three-pronged strategy of prudent capital allocation for acquisitions, organic growth and return of capital to shareholders. Although full year net income decreased from the prior year, our revenue of $1.142 billion was a record high for a second consecutive year. We completed the acquisition of Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd., which expands our presence into western Canada, and began a new C&I operation in California. Our backlog grew $68.2 million to $688.8 million as of December 31, 2016 as we successfully executed our strategy."

Fourth-Quarter Results
MYR reported fourth-quarter 2016 revenues of $343.7 million, an increase of $72.5 million, or 26.7 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. Specifically, the Transmission and Distribution (T&D) segment reported revenues of $250.9 million, an increase of $49.7 million, or 24.7 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2015, largely due to higher revenue from large transmission projects, organic growth in new geographic markets and favorable weather conditions in certain areas. The Commercial and Industrial (C&I) segment reported fourth-quarter 2016 revenues of $92.7 million, an increase of $22.7 million, or 32.6 percent, compared to fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to organic and acquisitive growth in new geographic markets.

Consolidated gross profit increased to $41.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $32.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased revenues and improved gross margin. Gross margin increased to 12.2 percent for the fourth quarter of 2016 from 12.0 percent for the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase of 0.2 percent in gross margin was primarily due to favorable weather experienced during the fourth quarter, improved performance on certain jobs and favorable close-outs on several projects. This was partially offset by costs associated with unrecognized revenue related to pending project claims and change orders as well as lower productivity on other jobs. Changes in estimates of gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2016 on certain projects resulted in a gross margin decrease of 0.2 percent. Changes in estimates of gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2015 on certain projects resulted in a gross margin decrease of 0.9 percent.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $26.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 from $22.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. The year-over-year increase was driven by $2.2 million of costs associated with our organic and acquisitive growth strategies. In addition, bonus and profit sharing costs as well as personnel and overhead costs to support our overall growth increased in 2016. The impact of these increases was partially offset by $1.4 million of cost associated with an executive officer transition in the fourth quarter of 2015. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 7.8 percent for the fourth quarter of 2016 from 8.4 percent for the fourth quarter of 2015.

For the fourth quarter of 2016, net income was $7.8 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $5.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the same period of 2015. Fourth-quarter 2016 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $26.1 million, or 7.6 percent of revenues, compared to $20.1 million, or 7.4 percent of revenues, for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Full-Year Results
MYR reported revenues of $1.142 billion for the full year of 2016, an all time high. This represents an increase of $80.8 million, or 7.6 percent, compared to the full year of 2015. The increase was primarily due to our organic and acquisitive growth which was partially offset by a decline in revenue in some geographic areas. Specifically, the T&D segment reported revenues of $819.0 million, an increase of $24.1 million, or 3.0 percent, from the full year of 2015. The increase in revenue was primarily due to organic and acquisitive growth, partially offset by a decline in revenue in some geographic areas. The C&I segment reported full-year 2016 revenues of $323.5 million, an increase of $56.7 million, or 21.3 percent, over the full year of 2015 primarily due to organic and acquisitive expansion in new markets.

Consolidated gross profit was $134.7 million for the full year of 2016, compared to $122.3 million for the full year of 2015, an increase of $12.4 million, or 10.1 percent. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher revenue and improved gross margin. Gross margin increased to 11.8 percent for the full year of 2016 from 11.5 percent for the full year of 2015. The increase in gross margin was largely due to improved performance on certain jobs as well as favorable close-outs on several projects. This was partially offset by costs associated with unrecognized revenue related to pending project claims and change orders. We also experienced inclement weather in some of our markets and lower productivity on other jobs. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in gross margin decreases of 0.2 percent for the full year of 2016. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects, including several large claims or change orders, resulted in gross margin increases of 0.5 percent for the full year of 2015.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $96.4 million for the full year of 2016 compared to $79.2 million for the full year of 2015. The year-over-year increase was driven by $9.4 million of costs associated with our organic and acquisitive growth strategies. Bonus and profit sharing costs as well as personnel costs to support our overall growth increased in 2016. We also incurred $1.0 million of costs associated with responding to activist investors. The impact of these increases was partially offset by a $1.4 million cost related to an executive officer transition in the fourth quarter of 2015. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 8.4 percent for the full year of 2016 from 7.5 percent for the full year of 2015.

For the full year of 2016, net income was $21.4 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, compared to $27.3 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, for the same period of 2015. Full-year 2015 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $78.8 million, or 6.9 percent of revenues, compared to $83.0 million, or 7.8 percent of revenues, for the full year of 2015.

Acquisition
On October 28, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Western Pacific Enterprises GP and of Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd., except for certain real estate owned by Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd., with the continuing company retaining the name Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd., an electrical contracting firm in western Canada. The total consideration paid, net of certain net asset adjustments, was approximately $11.3 million, which was funded through borrowings. The acquisition expanded our C&I and enhances our T&D presence in western Canada.

Backlog
As of December 31, 2016, our backlog was $688.8 million, consisting of $386.7 million in the T&D segment and $302.1 million in the C&I segment. Total backlog at December 31, 2016 was $68.2 million higher than our backlog reported at September 30, 2016 of $620.6 million, resulting in quarter-over-quarter increases in 10 of the past 12 quarters. T&D backlog at December 31, 2016 decreased $50.3 million, or 11.5 percent from September 30, 2016, while C&I backlog increased $118.5 million, or 64.5 percent, over the same period. Total backlog at December 31, 2016 increased $237.9 million, or 52.8 percent, from the $450.9 million reported at December 31, 2015. Significant contributors to the increase in the 2016 backlog were a multi-year Cross Texas Transmission contract and the Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd. acquisition.

Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2016, MYR had $167.2 million of borrowing availability under our 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 with 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 evaluate 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.
(2)       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.
(3)      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 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.
(4)       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.
(5)       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.  
(6)       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.
(7)       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.
(8)       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.
(9)       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.
(10)     Asset turnover is calculated by dividing the current period revenue by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(11)     Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(12)     Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total stockholders' equity at the beginning of the period.
(13)     Period end shares is calculated by adding average common stock equivalents for the quarter to 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.
(14)     Invested capital is calculated by adding net debt (total debt less cash and marketable securities) to total stockholders' equity.
(15)     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.
