Management Comments
Bill Koertner, MYR's President and CEO said, "We had a strong first-quarter 2015 highlighted by increases in revenues, gross profit, EBITDA, net income and diluted EPS. On April 13, 2015, we acquired substantially all of the assets of E.S. Boulos, one of New England’s largest and most experienced electrical contractors, which will enhance our T&D presence in the northeast U.S. and further expand our C&I presence outside of our existing markets. This is our second recent asset purchase, following the one made in Alaska during the third quarter of 2013.” Mr. Koertner continued, "Our balance sheet remained strong with $61.8 million of cash and borrowing capacity of $155.7 million at March 31, 2015. We believe our commitment to developing a strong team of management and craft employees, investment in specialty equipment, existing customer relationships, commitment to safety and strong financial position should enable us to grow both organically and through acquisitions in both our T&D and C&I segments."
First-Quarter Results
MYR reported first-quarter 2015 revenues of $244.1 million, an increase of $28.5 million, or 13.2 percent, compared to first-quarter 2014. Specifically, the Transmission and Distribution (T&D) segment reported revenues of $189.2 million, an increase of $27.2 million, or 16.8 percent, from the first quarter of 2014, primarily due to an increase in the number of jobs of all sizes. Material and subcontractor costs in our T&D segment comprised approximately 23 percent of total contract costs in the first quarter of 2015, compared to approximately 20 percent in the first quarter of 2014. The Commercial and Industrial (C&I) segment reported first-quarter 2015 revenues of $54.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 2.5 percent, over first-quarter 2014.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $29.4 million, or 12.0 percent of revenues, in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $27.1 million, or 12.6 percent of revenues, in the first quarter of 2014. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the higher revenues. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to lower equipment utilization, particularly large specialty transmission equipment, as several large transmission projects were substantially complete or nearing completion and lower storm revenues. In the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, gross margin benefited by approximately 1.5 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively, from improved contract margins on several projects, the majority of which were transmission projects, due to cost efficiencies, additional work and effective contract management.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $18.6 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $16.9 million in the first quarter of 2014. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2015 was due to higher personnel costs to support operations, E.S. Boulos acquisition costs and higher stock compensation costs compared to the first quarter of 2014. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 7.6 percent for the first quarter of 2015 from 7.9 percent for the first quarter of 2014.
For the first quarter of 2015, net income was $7.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, compared to $6.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the same period of 2014. First-quarter 2015 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $20.5 million, or 8.4 percent of revenues, compared to $18.2 million, or 8.4 percent of revenues, in the first quarter of 2014.
Our financial results for the first quarter of 2015 benefited from margin adjustments due to change orders and close-outs. It is unlikely that future periods will benefit to a similar extent from such favorable developments.
Acquisition of E.S. Boulos Company
On April 13, 2015, MYR acquired substantially all of the assets of E.S. Boulos Company (“ESB”), one of New England’s largest and most experienced electrical contractors with over 95 years in operation, from a subsidiary of Eversource Energy. The purchase price was approximately $11.4 million, which was funded through the existing cash resources of MYR. ESB is headquartered in Westbrook, Maine, and offers construction services for the electric utility sector, including substation, transmission and distribution construction, as well as commercial and industrial electrical construction. ESB will continue to operate under its own name as part of the MYR Group family of companies.
Backlog
As of March 31, 2015, MYR's backlog was $398.4 million, consisting of $275.6 million in the T&D segment and $122.8 million in the C&I segment. Total backlog at March 31, 2015, was $35.2 million lower than the $433.6 million reported at December 31, 2014. T&D backlog at March 31, 2015, decreased $44.8 million, or 14.0 percent, from December 31, 2014, while C&I backlog increased $9.6 million, or 8.4 percent, over the same period. Total backlog at March 31, 2015, increased $12.8 million, or 3.3 percent, from the $385.6 million reported at March 31, 2014.
Balance Sheet and Share Repurchase Program
As of March 31, 2015, MYR had cash and cash equivalents of $61.8 million and $155.7 million of borrowing availability under its credit facility. In the first three months of 2015, MYR purchased 72,706 shares of its common stock for approximately $1.8 million under its $25.0 million share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2015, MYR had $7.5 million of remaining capacity to purchase shares under its share repurchase program.
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.

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) | 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 that 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. |
| (3) | 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. |
| (4) | 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. |
| (5) | Book value per share is calculated by dividing total stockholders’ equity at the end of the period by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the period. |
| (6) | 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. |
| (7) | Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible book value at the end of the period by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. Tangible book value per diluted share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share. |
| (8) | 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. |
| (9) | Asset turnover is calculated by dividing the current period revenue by total assets at the beginning of the period. |
| (10) | Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total assets at the beginning of the period. |
| (11) | Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total stockholders’ equity at the beginning of the period. |
| (12) | Invested capital is calculated by adding net debt (total debt less cash and marketable securities) to total stockholders’ equity. |
| (13) | Return on invested capital is calculated by dividing net income, less any dividends, by invested capital at the beginning of the period. |
