The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 5 PERINI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies followed by the Company and its subsidiaries in preparing its consolidated financial statements are set forth in Note (1) to such financial statements included in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. The Company has made no significant change in these policies during 1996. (2) Income (Loss) From Operations The three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 include a charge, which aggregated $25.6 million, to provide for a liability related to previously disclosed litigation discussed under "Item 1. Legal Proceedings" in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 1995, and downward revisions in estimated probable recoveries on certain outstanding contract claims. (3) Provision For Income Taxes The lower than normal tax rate in 1996 is due to the realization of a portion of the Federal tax benefit resulting from the operating loss recorded in 1995. Because of certain accounting limitations, the Company was not able to recognize a portion of the tax benefit related to the operating loss experienced in fiscal 1995. (4) Per Share Data Computations of earnings per common share amounts are based on the weighted average number of the Company's common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Earnings per common share reflect the effect of preferred dividends accrued during both the 1996 and 1995 three and nine month periods ended September 30, of $531,000 and $1,593,000, respectively. Common stock equivalents related to additional shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options have not been included since their effect would be antidilutive. Per share data on a fully diluted basis is not presented because the effect of conversion of the Company's depositary convertible exchangeable preferred shares into common stock is also antidilutive. (5) Cash Dividends There were no cash dividends on common stock declared or paid during the periods presented in the consolidated condensed financial statements presented herein. As previously disclosed in the 1995 Form 10-K, in conjunction with the covenants of the Company's Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company is required to suspend the payment of quarterly dividends on its preferred stock until the Bridge Loan commitment is no longer outstanding, if a default exists under the terms of the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, or if the ratio of long-term debt to equity exceeds 50%. Therefore, the dividends on preferred stock that normally would have been declared during December of 1995 and March, June and September of 1996, and payable on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15, 1996, respectively, have not been declared (although they have been fully accrued due to the "cumulative" feature of the preferred stock). (6) Capitalization In addition to its $114.5 million revolving credit agreement, effective February 26, 1996, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement with its revolver banks to borrow up to an additional $15 million through July 31, 1996 at an interest rate of prime plus 2%. Subsequently, the Bridge Loan Agreement has been increased to provide another $10 million of borrowing capacity at an interest rate of prime plus 4% and extended through the earlier of the closing of the below mentioned preferred stock transaction or January 31, 1997. The Revolving Credit Agreement has been renegotiated and will total $129.5 million subsequent to the closing of the preferred stock transaction. Additionally, in July 1996, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with an investor group led by Richard C. Blum & Associates, L. P. of San Francisco, California, for a $30 million investment in the form of a new issuance of 150,150 shares of redeemable cumulative convertible junior preferred stock in the Company. The preferred stock will 6 (6) Capitalization (continued) be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of approximately $9.68 per share. The issuance and listing of any such common stock on the American Stock Exchange is subject to shareholder ratification of the transaction at a Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, the date of which has not been set. The preferred shares will carry voting rights representing approximately 37% of the outstanding common shares and will also entitle the investor group to the appointment of three members to the Company's Board of Directors. Subject to the ratification of the transaction by the stockholders, the Company expects to be able to close the transaction by year end. (7) Management's Opinion The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and results of operations and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996 because the Company's results generally consist of a limited number of large transactions in both construction and real estate. Therefore, such results can vary depending on the timing of transactions and the profitability of projects being reported. 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the Third Quarter of 1996 with the Third Quarter of 1995 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues increased $107.7 million (or 46.2%), from $233 million in 1995 to $340.7 million in 1996. This increase resulted from increased construction revenues of $96 million (or 42.9%), from $223.7 million in 1995 to $319.7 million in 1996, due primarily to an increase in revenues from building operations of $70 million (or 45.2%), from $154.9 million in 1995 to $224.9 million in 1996. This increase was due primarily to the timing in the start-up of certain fast track hotel/casino projects in the western United States as well as several prison/detention and medical facilities projects in the northeastern United States. Revenues from heavy operations increased by $26 million (or 37.8%), from $68.8 million in 1995 to $94.8 million in 1996 due primarily to the favorable impact of several large infrastructure projects under way in late 1995, primarily in the metropolitan New York, Boston and Los Angeles areas. In addition, revenues from real estate operations increased by $11.7 million, from $9.3 million in 1995 to $21 million in 1996 due primarily to the Company's acquisition during 1996 of an increased ownership position in The Resort at Squaw Creek joint venture in California. Along with the increase in revenues, the total gross profit increased substantially, from a loss of $23 million in 1995 to a profit of $13 million in 1996, due to an overall increase in gross profit from construction operations of $36.4 million, from a loss of $23.2 million in 1995 to a profit of $13.2 million in 1996. The gross loss from construction operations recognized in 1995 included a pretax charge, which aggregated $25.6 million, to provide for a liability related to litigation involving a joint venture in which the Company was a minority partner, and the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority on two subway construction projects in Washington, D.C., and downward revisions in estimated probable recoveries on certain outstanding contract claims. In addition, the 1995 gross profit was adversely impacted by an overall reduction in the profit level on a tunnel project in the Midwest. The pretax charges in 1995, coupled with the increased construction revenues in 1996 referred to above and the favorable profit impact in 1996 of several large infrastructure projects underway in late 1995, primarily in the metropolitan New York, Boston and Los Angeles areas, resulted in the substantial increase in gross profit from construction operations in 1996. Real estate operations experienced a gross loss of $.2 million in 1996 compared to a gross profit of $.2 million in 1995 due to a lower volume of condominium sales in Georgia and land sales in Arizona during 1996. The decrease in general, administrative and selling expenses of $1.0 million (or 11.6%), from $9 million in 1995 to $8 million in 1996, resulted primarily from continued emphasis on reducing overall Company overhead expenses in conjunction with the Company's re-engineering efforts commenced in prior years, the sale in June of 1996 of Pioneer Construction, a former subsidiary of the Company located in West Virginia which performed reclamation projects on abandoned mine lands in that state, and the continuation of the down-sizing of the Company's environmental remediation construction operation. Interest expense increased by $.4 million (or 18.9%), from $2.2 million in 1995 to $2.6 million in 1996, due to a higher average level of borrowings during 1996. The lower than normal tax rate in 1996 is due to the realization of a portion of the Federal tax benefit resulting from the operating loss recorded in 1995. Because of certain accounting limitations, the Company was not able to recognize a portion of the tax benefit related to the operating loss experienced in fiscal 1995. Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 ------------------------ Revenues increased $124.2 million (or 15.5%), from $803 million in 1995 to $927.2 million in 1996. This increase resulted from increased construction revenues of $114.7 million (or 14.9%), from $770.7 million in 1995 to $885.4 million in 1996, due primarily to an increase in revenues from heavy construction operations of $75.1 million (or 36.9%), from $203.7 million in 1995 to $278.8 million in 1996, as well as an 8 increase in revenues from building construction operations of $39.6 million (or 7.0%), from $567 million in 1995 to $606.6 million in 1996. These revenue fluctuations reflect the timing in the start-up of new construction projects, in particular several fast track hotel/casino projects in the western and midwestern United States, several prison/detention and medical facilities projects in the northeastern United States, and several long-term infrastructure rehabilitation projects in the metropolitan New York, Boston and Los Angeles areas. Revenues from real estate operations increased $9.5 million, from $32.3 million in 1995 to $41.8 million in 1996 due primarily to the Company's acquisition during 1996 of an increased ownership position in The Resort at Squaw Creek joint venture in California. Along with the increase in revenues, the total gross profit increased substantially, from $1.6 million in 1995 to $38.5 million in 1996, due to an overall increase in gross profit from construction operations of $37.3 million, from $1.7 million in 1995 to $39 million in 1996. Overall gross profit margins on both building and heavy construction operations in 1996 exceeded those experienced in 1995. The marginal gross profit from construction operations recognized in 1995 included a pretax charge, which aggregated $25.6 million, to provide for a liability related to litigation involving a joint venture in which the Company was a minority partner, and the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority on two subway construction projects in Washington, D.C., and downward revisions in estimated probable recoveries on certain outstanding contract claims as well as an overall reduction in the profit level on a tunnel project in the Midwest. These pretax charges in 1995, coupled with the increased construction revenues in 1996 referred to above and the favorable profit impact in 1996 of several large infrastructure projects underway in late 1995, primarily in the metropolitan New York, Boston and Los Angeles areas, resulted in the substantial increase in gross profit from construction operations in 1996. Real estate operations experienced a gross loss of $.5 million in 1996 compared to a gross loss of $.1 million in 1995 due to a lower volume of land sales in Florida, Arizona and Massachusetts. General, administrative and selling expenses decreased by $2.6 million (or 9.4%), from $27.2 million in 1995 to $24.6 million in 1996 primarily due to continued emphasis on reducing overall Company overhead expenses in conjunction with the Company's re-engineering efforts commenced in prior years, the sale in June of 1996 of Pioneer Construction, a former subsidiary of the Company located in West Virginia which performed reclamation projects on abandoned mine lands in that state, and the continuation of the gradual down-sizing of the Company's real estate and environmental remediation construction operations. Other expense increased $.3 million, from $.1 million in 1995 to $.4 million in 1996 primarily due to higher bank charges experienced in 1996 in conjunction with the Company's renegotiation of certain provisions of its Revolving Credit Agreement and Bridge Loan Agreement. Interest expense increased by $.9 million (or 14.8%), from $6.1 million in 1995 to $7 million in 1996 due to a higher average level of borrowings during 1996. The lower than normal tax rate in 1996 is due to the realization of a portion of the Federal tax benefit resulting from the operating loss recorded in 1995. Because of certain accounting limitations, the Company was not able to recognize a portion of the tax benefit related to the operating loss experienced in fiscal 1995. FINANCIAL CONDITION Working capital increased $39.7 million, from $36.5 million at the end of 1995 to $76.2 million at September 30, 1996 primarily as a result of increased borrowings under the Company's Revolving Credit Agreement. The current ratio increased from 1.12:1 to 1.28:1 during this same period. During the first nine months of 1996 the Company used $31.5 million in cash provided from financing activities, primarily from net borrowings under its long-term credit facilities, plus $14.2 million from cash on hand to fund its construction and real estate operations, including $13.6 million for investments in or advances to joint ventures. Long-term debt at September 30, 1996 was $114.7 million, an increase of $30.5 million from December 31, 1995. The long-term debt to equity ratio at June 30, 1996 was 1.02 to 1, compared to .80 to 1 at December 31, 1995. 9 The above factors reflect the Company's need to rely heavily on long-term financing arrangements to fund the current working capital requirements of its core construction business, primarily in its heavy/civil operations which typically require a long start-up period and significant up-front working capital, as well as to fund cash shortfalls experienced in its real estate operations. In addition to internally generated funds, the Company has access to funds under its $114.5 million long-term Credit Agreement. Effective February 26, 1996, the Company entered into a Bridge Loan Agreement for an additional $15 million through July 31, 1996. Subsequently, this Bridge Loan Agreement has been extended through January 31, 1997. Additionally, in July 1996 the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with an investor group led by Richard C. Blum & Associates, L. P. of San Francisco, California, for a $30 million investment in the form of a new issuance of 150,150 shares of cumulative convertible junior preferred stock in the Company subject to certain closing conditions. Initially, the Company expected to be able to close the transaction in early October. However, certain regulations of the American Stock Exchange require shareholder approval of the transaction in advance, therefore, the anticipated closing date of the transaction is now expected by year end. At September 30, 1996 there was no borrowing capacity available under the Company's long-term credit facility and $5.8 million available under the Bridge Loan Agreement. OUTLOOK The statements contained in this Outlook that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding the Company's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this Outlook are based on information available to the Company on the date hereof. It is important to note that the Company's actual results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Looking ahead, we must consider the Company's construction backlog and remaining portfolio of real estate projects. The overall construction backlog at September 30, 1996 was a record $1.746 billion which represented a 12% increase from the $1.559 billion at September 30, 1995. While approximately 60% of the current backlog relates to building construction projects which generally represent lower risk, lower margin work, approximately 40% of the current backlog relates to heavy construction projects which generally represent higher risk, but correspondingly higher margin work. With the sale of the final 21 acres during 1994, the Company's Villages of Palm Beach Lakes, Florida land was completely sold out. Because of its low book value, sales of this acreage have provided a major portion of the Company's real estate profit in recent years. With the sale of this property complete, the Company's ability to generate profit from real estate sales and the related gross margin will be reduced as was the case in 1995. In addition, nine projects, which aggregate approximately 11% of the Company's real estate asset values, are projected to produce an estimated average 4% gross margin over the period through ultimate disposition. As such, future gross margins from sales of real estate will be impacted by the operations and/or disposition of these properties. As reported in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company's primary real estate assets are located in five states: Florida, Massachusetts, Georgia, California and Arizona. The Company accounts for those real estate assets in accordance with the provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121. "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (SFAS #121). Approximately 77% of the Company's real estate assets represent properties held and used in rental and other operations. Cash flows to be derived from those properties are dependent on the results of those operations and from the ultimate sale of those properties. SFAS #121 requires that assets to be held and used be revised for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Based on the Company's current operating strategy, the estimated net future cash flows from these properties exceed their carrying values. As a result, no impairment is currently required to be recognized. In addition, approximately 23% of the Company's real estate assets represent fully or partially developed land held for sale in the normal course of business. Cash flows to be derived from these properties are dependent on the proceeds from the sale of these properties based on local market conditions. SFAS #121 provides that when management has committed to a plan to dispose of long-lived assets that the 10 assets be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Based on the Company's current operating strategy, the estimated net future cash flows from these properties exceed their carrying values. As a result, no impairment is currently required to be recognized. At least until the closing of the new equity investment discussed above, the Company's financial resources and short-term liquidity position will continue to be tight, resulting in the payment of many vendors beyond the Company's normal payment terms. In the near term, the Company intends to continue to manage its cash receipts and disbursements as effectively as possible in anticipation of closing the new equity investment and the receipt of the proceeds related thereto. In addition, the Company has been successful in extending its $15 million Bridge Loan Agreement until at least January 31, 1997 as well as in arranging for $20 million in additional borrowing capacity through its bank credit facility: $10 million via certain bonding arrangements in lieu of posting letters of credit, and $10 million via a temporary loan made available to the Company through a participation under the existing loan agreement by a group of investors led by Richard C. Blum & Associates, L. P. of San Francisco, the Company's potential new equity investor. This $10 million temporary financing will be repayable by the Company at the earlier of the completion of the proposed $30 million equity investment referred to above or January 31, 1997. In order to generate cash and reduce the Company's dependence on bank debt to fund the working capital needs of its core construction operations as well as to lower the Company's substantial interest expense and strengthen the balance sheet in the longer term, the Company will continue to sell certain real estate assets as market opportunities present themselves; to actively pursue the favorable conclusion of various construction claims; to focus new work acquisition efforts on various niche markets and geographic areas where the Company has a proven history of success; to down-size or close operations with marginal prospects for success; to continue to restrict the payment of cash dividends on the Company's $1 par value common stock and depositary convertible exchangeable preferred stock; and to continue to seek ways to control overhead expenses. In addition, the Company is reviewing all of the Company's real estate assets and current strategies related to those assets with the possibility that a plan may be developed to generate short term liquidity of up to an additional $20 million for the Company. Currently, the Company's strategy has been to hold its real estate assets through the necessary development and stabilization periods to achieve full value. A strategy which includes an accelerated disposition or bulk sale of certain of its real estate assets could substantially reduce the estimated net future cash flows from these properties, which would require the recognition of an impairment loss on those assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121. As the Company has not yet adopted a plan to dispose of any of its real estate assets nor devoted a significant effort to a comprehensive disposition strategy, it has not compiled detailed estimates, on a specific property basis, of the potential writedown for these assets. However, as discussed above in connection with the proposed investment by PB Capital, the Company has performed a preliminary review of its real estate assets and estimates that a potential writedown of $20,000,000 to $80,000,000 of the carrying values of these properties may be required based upon various valuation methodologies including discounted cash flows (after estimated costs to carry), comparable sales transactions and unsolicited purchase offers received. This potential writedown can be summarized as follows: Location Potential Writedown -------- ------------------- Arizona Properties $17,000,000 - $20,000,000 California Properties $53,000,000 - $57,000,000 Florida Properties $ 2,000,000 - $ 3,000,000 Management believes that cash generated from operations, existing credit lines and additional borrowings, including the anticipated proceeds from the issuance of cumulative convertible junior preferred stock referred to above, should probably be adequate to meet the Company's funding requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, the withdrawal of many commercial lending sources from both the real estate and construction markets and/or restrictions on new borrowings and extensions on maturing loans by these same sources cause uncertainties in predicting liquidity. 11 PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. - Legal Proceedings - None Item 2. - Changes in Securities (a) None (b) None Item 3. - Defaults Upon Senior Securities (a) None (b) Preferred Stock, $1 par value As previously disclosed in the 1995 Form 10-K, in conjunction with the covenants of the Company's Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company is required to suspend the payment of quarterly dividends on its depositary convertible exchangeable preferred stock until the $15 million Bridge Loan commitment is no longer outstanding, if a default exists under the terms of the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, or if the ratio of long-term debt to equity exceeds 50%. Therefore, the dividends on the preferred stock that normally would have been declared during December of 1995 and March, June and September of 1996, and payable on March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15, 1996, respectively, have not been declared. The total amount of dividends in arrears on the Company's preferred stock at the date of this filing is $2,125,000.
