Second Quarter 2019 Results

Investment Community Conference Call Today at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time

ANAHEIM, Calif. – August 1, 2019 – Willdan Group, Inc. (“Willdan”) (NASDAQ: WLDN), a provider of professional technical and consulting services, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 28, 2019.

Second Quarter 2019 Summary

· Consolidated contract revenue of $104.4 million, an increase of 74.5%

· Net revenue of $46.8 million, an increase of 36.4%

· Net income of $1.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share

· Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.43

· Adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 million

For the second quarter of 2019, Willdan reported consolidated contract revenue of $104.4 million and net income of $1.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share.  This compares with consolidated contract revenue of $59.8 million and net income of $3.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018.  For the second quarter of 2019, Net Revenue, defined as revenue, net of subcontractor services and other direct costs (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below), was $46.8 million, up 36.4% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2018.

“We are seeing strong revenue growth that is building into the second half of the year,” said Tom Brisbin, Willdan’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “New projects for our four largest clients are ramping up materially, so in the second quarter we had disproportionately high project start up costs compared to the revenue we recognized on those programs.  We believe this positions us well for the next several quarters.  We are pleased that the wave of California procurements from investor owned utilities (IOU’s) continues to progress, and that we have been downselected to the proposal stage for every program that we have pursued.  The acquisition of The Weidt Group in March allowed us to pursue a significant new construction procurement for California IOU’s that we would not have been able to pursue without them.  Our acquisition of Onsite Energy in July provides us with industrial sector expertise that opens up new opportunities in California, and we believe will expand our total addressable market by one-third. We expect to deliver strong financial performance in the second half of 2019 based on work-in-hand.”

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Highlights

Consolidated contract revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $104.4 million, an increase of 74.5% from $59.8 million for the second quarter of 2018.  Contract revenue for the Energy segment was $85.3 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 104.4% from the second quarter of 2018, which was primarily due to incremental revenue from the acquisitions of Lime Energy Co. (“Lime Energy”), Newcomb Anderson McCormick (“NAM”) and The Weidt Group Inc. (“The Weidt Group”). Contract revenue for the Engineering and Consulting segment was $19.1 million, an increase of 5.6% from the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to increased consulting work for cities and counties.

Net Revenue for the second quarter of 2019 was $46.8 million, an increase of 36.4% from $34.3 million for the second quarter of 2018.  The increase was primarily due to incremental revenue from the acquisitions of Lime Energy, NAM, and The Weidt Group.  Net Revenue in the Energy segment was $32.4 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 60.2% over the same period last year.  Net Revenue in the Engineering and Consulting segment was $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 2.2% over the same period last year.

Direct costs of contract revenue were $73.2 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 99.7%, from $36.7 million for the second quarter of 2018.  The increase was primarily related to incremental direct costs from the acquisition of Lime Energy.

Total general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2019 was $28.4 million, an increase of 49.7% from $19.0 million for the second quarter of 2018, driven primarily by increased costs related to personnel added through the acquisitions of Lime Energy, NAM, and The Weidt Group. 

Interest expense was $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared with $30,000 for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to debt incurred in the fourth quarter of 2018 to finance the acquisition of Lime Energy.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to income tax expense of $0.9 million for the prior year period. The income tax benefit recorded for the second quarter of 2019 was primarily attributable to various tax deductions and tax credits.

Net income for the second quarter of 2019 was $1.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $3.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018.  The decrease in operating performance was primarily driven by higher direct costs of revenues and interest expense, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses, each as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted Net Income (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the second quarter of 2019 was $5.0 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, as compared to Adjusted Net Income of $5.2 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018. 

Adjusted EBITDA (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) was $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 4.2% from $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2018.

Six Months 2019 Financial Highlights

Consolidated contract revenue for the six months ended June 28, 2019 was $196.2 million, an increase of 71.5% from $114.4 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018.  Contract revenue for the Energy segment was $160.0 million for the six months ended June 28, 2019, an increase of 102.4%, which was primarily due to incremental revenue from the acquisitions of Lime Energy, NAM, and The Weidt Group. Contract revenue for the Engineering and Consulting segment was $36.2 million, an increase of 2.4% from the six months ended June 29, 2018.

Net Revenue for the six months ended June 28, 2019 was $87.6 million, an increase of 35.2% from $64.8 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018.  The increase was primarily due to incremental revenue from the acquisitions of Lime Energy, NAM, and The Weidt Group.  Net Revenue in the Energy segment was $59.3 million for the six months ended June 28, 2019, an increase of 62.2% over the same period last year.  Net Revenue in the Engineering and Consulting segment was $28.3 million for the six months ended June 28, 2019, an increase of 0.2% over the same period last year.

Direct costs of contract revenue were $139.1 million for the six months ended June 28, 2019, an increase of 93.9%, from $71.7 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018.  The increase was primarily as a result of the increased use of subcontractors and higher material content in projects associated with the acquisition of Lime Energy.

Total general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 28, 2019 was $54.5 million, an increase of 49.4% from $36.5 million for the six months ended June 29, 2018, driven primarily by the addition of employees from the acquisitions of Lime Energy, NAM and The Weidt Group along with increases in current salary rates for our current employees and an increase in stock-based compensation. 

Interest expense was $2.3 million for the six months ended June 28, 2019, compared with $53,000 for the six months ended June 29, 2018. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to debt incurred in the fourth quarter of 2018 to finance the acquisition of Lime Energy.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 28, 2019, compared to income tax expense of $0.6 million for the prior year period.  The income tax benefit recorded for the six months ended June 28, 2019 was primarily attributable to various tax deductions and tax credits.

Net income for the six months ended June 28, 2019 was $1.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $5.5 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 29, 2018. The decrease in operating performance was primarily driven by higher direct costs of revenues and interest expense, partially offset by lower general and administrative expenses, each as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted Net Income (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the six months ended June 28, 2019 was $7.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, as compared to Adjusted Net Income of $9.4 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 29, 2018.

Balance Sheet

Willdan reported $27.6 million in cash and cash equivalents at June 28, 2019, as compared to $15.3 million at December 28, 2018.  The increase in cash and cash equivalentswas primarily due to cash generated from operations. Cash flow from operations was $12.5 million during the first half of 2019, compared with $4.0 million during the first half of 2018, an increase of 209.0%.

Willdan has updated its financial targets for fiscal 2019 to the following:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“Net Revenue,” defined as contract revenue as reported in accordance with GAAP minus subcontractor services and other direct costs, is a non-GAAP financial measure, Net Revenue is a supplemental measure that Willdan believes enhances investors’ ability to analyze Willdan’s business trends and performance because it substantially measures the work performed by Willdan’s employees. In the course of providing services, Willdan routinely subcontracts various services. Generally, these subcontractor services and other direct costs are passed through to Willdan’s clients and, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and industry practice, are included in Willdan’s revenue when it is Willdan’s contractual responsibility to procure or manage such subcontracted activities. Because subcontractor services and other direct costs can vary significantly from project to project and period to period, changes in revenue may not necessarily be indicative of Willdan’s business trends. Accordingly, Willdan segregates subcontractor services and other direct costs from revenue to promote a better understanding of Willdan’s business by evaluating revenue exclusive of subcontract services and other direct costs associated with external service providers. A reconciliation of Willdan’s contract revenue as reported in accordance with GAAP to Net Revenue is provided at the end of this press release. A reconciliation of targeted contract revenue for 2019 as reported in accordance with GAAP to targeted Net Revenues for fiscal 2019, which is a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, is not provided because Willdan is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort. The inability to provide a reconciliation is due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty predicting the subcontractor services and other director costs that are subtracted from contract revenues in order to derive Net Revenues. While subcontractor costs have increased recently, subcontractor costs can vary significantly from period to period.  We expect that subcontractor costs will be higher for the remainder of fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 as a result of our recent acquisitions and the shift in projects in our Energy segment. For recent periods, subcontractor costs and other direct costs have been 48.7% of contract revenue for fiscal year 2018 and 55.3% and 43.4% of contract revenue for the six months ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively.

“Adjusted EBITDA,” defined as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, stock-based compensation, interest accretion, depreciation and amortization, transaction costs and gain on sale of equipment, is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by Willdan’s management to measure Willdan’s operating performance. Willdan believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows Willdan’s management to evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period and against its peers without regard to its financing methods, capital structure and non-operating expenses. Willdan uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance for, among other things, budgeting, forecasting and incentive compensation purposes. 

Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s costs of capital, stock-based compensation, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets. A reconciliation of net income as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this press release.

“Adjusted Net Income,” defined as net income plus stock-based compensation, intangible amortization and transaction costs, each net of tax, is a non-GAAP financial measure. 

“Adjusted Diluted EPS,” defined as net income plus stock-based compensation, intangible amortization and transaction costs, each net of tax, all divided by the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are supplemental measures used by Willdan’s management to measure its operating performance. Willdan believes Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are useful because they allow Willdan’s management to more closely evaluate and explain the operating results of Willdan’s business by removing certain non-operating expenses. Reconciliations of net income as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Net Income and diluted EPS as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Diluted EPS are provided at the end of this press release.

Willdan’s definitions of Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS have limitations as analytical tools and may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures or from similarly named measures Willdan has reported in prior periods. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as contract revenue, net income and diluted EPS.
