FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Williams Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Guidance Unchanged as Market Dynamics Point to Improving Award Environment
ATLANTA, GA, May 12, 2022 – Williams Industrial Services Group Inc. (NYSE American: WLMS) (“Williams” or the “Company”), an energy and industrial infrastructure services company, today reported its financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2022.
Recent Highlights
● | Williams posted revenue of $69.6 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with $60.9 million in the prior-year period |
● | The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $2.0 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2022 compared with a net loss from continuing operations of $1.6 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021 |
● | Adjusted EBITDA1 was $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared with $0.6 million in the prior-year period |
● | As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s backlog was $257.0 million, compared to $270.7 million as of December 31, 2021 (excluding approximately $361 million of decommissioning work subsequently transferred to a competitor, as previously announced); approximately $139 million of the March 31, 2022 backlog is expected to be converted to revenue over the following twelve months |
● | The Company announced its financial guidance for fiscal 2022 remains unchanged |
“As anticipated, the first quarter of 2022 was negatively impacted by downward pressure on margins related to residual operating challenges in our Florida water business as well as start-up costs associated with expanding service to the energy delivery end market,” said Tracy Pagliara, President and CEO of Williams. “However, we saw a decline in general and administrative expenses both year-over-year and sequentially, even as we recognized $0.7 million of one-time expenses for litigation against a former employee and competitor during the first quarter of 2022. We are squarely focused on reducing expenses and improving bottom line results going forward.
“We added $38 million in new orders during the quarter and believe this is just the beginning of robust opportunities ahead. The prospects for nuclear power are being enhanced by the clean energy mandate, national security concerns and federal and state-level subsidies, including $6 billion of Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (“IIJA”) funding designed to extend the life of existing nuclear facilities. Moreover, the capital budgets of our utility and municipality customers are substantial, and the IIJA will also add more than $45 billion of supplemental investments to enhance water and power grid infrastructure in the coming years. Overall, we are experiencing increased demand for our services, with strengthening market dynamics expected to benefit Williams for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we are reiterating our 2022 financial guidance.”
First Quarter 2022 Financial Results Compared to First Quarter 2021
Revenue in the first quarter, typically the lightest period of the fiscal year due to seasonal work factors, was $69.6 million compared with $60.9 million in the first quarter of 2021, largely reflecting an increase in nuclear and water work. Gross profit was $5.7 million, or 8.2% of revenue, compared with $6.1 million, or 10.0% of revenue, in the prior-year period, with the lower

margin primarily due to changes in project mix, including the ongoing impact of certain contracts in Florida, as previously announced, which will reach completion in the fourth quarter of 2022, and start-up costs tied to the Company’s further expansion into the energy delivery market. Excluding the aforementioned business start-up expenses and negative impact from the Company’s Florida water projects, adjusted gross margin would have been 10.5% of revenue.
Operating expenses were $6.5 million compared with $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, reflecting lower general and administrative expenses, inclusive of $0.7 million in professional fees relating to an ongoing legal matter. The Company reported an operating loss of $0.8 million versus $0.5 million in the prior-year period. Interest expense was $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2022 versus $1.3 million in 2021.
The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $2.0 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2022 compared with a net loss from continuing operations of $1.6 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, in the prior-year period.
Balance Sheet
The Company’s total liquidity (the sum of unrestricted cash and availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility) was $26.1 million as of March 31, 2022, versus $27.7 million at the beginning of 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $4.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $0.5 million of restricted cash, and $31.3 million of bank debt compared with $2.5 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, $0.5 million of restricted cash, and $32.1 million of bank debt as of December 31, 2021.
Backlog
Total backlog as of March 31, 2022 was $257.0 million compared with $270.7 million on December 31, 2021, after deducting approximately $361 million of decommissioning work through 2029 which was subsequently transferred to a competitor, as previously announced. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $69.6 million, booked new awards of $38.3 million, and (inclusive of the aforementioned contracts) saw net adjustments and cancellations of $343.5 million.

Williams estimates that approximately $139 million of its quarter-end backlog will be converted to revenue within the next twelve months, compared with an adjusted $157.2 million of backlog (after the loss of the aforementioned decommissioning contracts) as of December 31, 2021 that the Company anticipated would be converted to revenue over the succeeding twelve-month period.

NOTE 1 — Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA-Continuing Operations
Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated through the application of GAAP and is not the required form of disclosure by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Adjusted EBITDA is the sum of the Company’s income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, net, and income tax (benefit) expense and unusual gains or charges. It also excludes non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation. The Company’s management believes adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare the performance of its core operations from period to period by removing the impact of the capital structure (interest), tangible and intangible asset base (depreciation and amortization), taxes and certain non-cash expenses and unusual gains or charges (such as stock-based compensation, severance costs, other professional fees, and foreign currency (gain) loss) which are not always commensurate with the reporting period in which such items are included. Williams’ credit facilities also contain ratios based on EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income or income from continuing operations or as a better measure of liquidity than net cash flows from operating activities, as determined by GAAP, and, therefore, should not be used in isolation from, but in conjunction with, the GAAP measures. The use of any non-GAAP measure may produce results that vary from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable to a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP financial measures because it could not do so without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of the information needed to calculate reconciling items and due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures in future periods. When planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods, the Company does so primarily on a non-GAAP basis without preparing a GAAP analysis.
