Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE: TPC) (the “Company”), a leading civil and building construction company, today reported results for the first quarter of 2014.
First-Quarter Results
Revenue was $955.2 million for the first quarter of 2014, compared to $992.9 million for the same period last year. Income from construction operations was $41.5 million for the first quarter, compared to $36.1 million for the same period last year. Net income was $15.9 million for the first quarter, compared to $14.8 million for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.33 for the first quarter, compared to $0.31 for the same period last year.
Revenue decreased 3.8% in the first quarter due primarily to decreased activity on hospitality and gaming projects in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Louisiana, which was partially offset by the ramp-up of civil and building projects at Hudson Yards in New York and a rail transportation project in California. Inclement weather in the first quarter also contributed to the decreased revenue, as it impacted several projects in the northeastern U.S. The increase in net income in the first quarter was due primarily to an overall increase in volume in our Civil segment, which was partially offset by Hurricane Sandy-related projects performed in the first quarter of 2013.
The Company used $41.1 million of cash from operating activities in the first quarter, compared to $84.5 million in the same period last year. The cash usage in the first quarter was primarily driven by the timing of payments primarily in our Civil and Building segments. At March 31, 2014, working capital was $873.5 million, an increase of $86.1 million from $787.4 million at December 31, 2013. The Company believes its financial position and available borrowing under existing credit arrangements are sufficient to support the Company’s current backlog and anticipated new work.
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company completed a reorganization which resulted in the elimination of the Management Services segment. The Management Services segment formerly consisted of the Company’s subsidiaries, Black Construction and Perini Management Services. Effective March 31, 2014, the operations and financial results of Black Construction and Perini Management Services have been consolidated into and are being reported under the Civil and Building segments, respectively. The financial tables attached hereto reflect the results under the reorganized segments for the current and historical periods presented.
Backlog Increased to $7.7 Billion on Continued Strength in New Awards
The backlog of uncompleted construction work at March 31, 2014 was $7.7 billion, an increase of $2.2 billion from $5.5 billion reported at March 31, 2013. Revenue earned during the first quarter partially offset a continued strong volume of new awards and adjustments to contracts in process, which together added approximately $1.7 billion. Significant additions to backlog in the first quarter included two New York MTA East Side Access projects collectively valued at $844 million, a $113 million technology building project in California, the $92 million I-564 Intermodal Connector design-build project in Virginia, and a $74 million wastewater treatment project in New York.
Outlook and Guidance
Commenting on the first-quarter results, Ronald Tutor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The Company delivered another quarter of strong results, which were in line with expectations. Our higher-margin Civil and Specialty Contractors segments continue driving backlog growth, and our Civil segment is driving profitability. We are benefiting from the execution of major multi-year projects awarded over the past 12 months, and the outlook for additional large new awards remains favorable.”
Based on the current outlook, the Company is maintaining its fiscal 2014 guidance for revenue in the range of $4.5 billion to $5.0 billion and diluted EPS in the range of $2.20 to $2.40. The Company continues to expect its earnings in 2014 will be weighted towards the second half of the year.
