Tutor Perini Reports Third Quarter 2024 ResultsNovember 06, 2024 at 16:15 PM EST
Tutor Perini Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: TPC), a leading civil, building and specialty construction company, reported results today for the third quarter of 2024. The Company generated $174.0 million of cash from operating activities in the first nine months of 2024. As previously announced, the Company expects to generate new record operating cash flow for the full year of 2024 in the range of $425 million to $575 million from collections related to project execution activities for new and existing projects, as well as from the resolution of various disputed matters. This would represent the third consecutive year that the Company has generated record operating cash flow. The Company also anticipates continued strong operating cash flow in 2025. With the significant operating cash flow expected in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company anticipates prepaying $100 million to $150 million of its outstanding Term Loan B debt prior to December 31, 2024. Of this amount, $50 million has already been prepaid in the fourth quarter. The Company also estimates that it will prepay an additional $50 million to $75 million of the Term Loan B debt in the first quarter of 2025 with cash generated from operations. Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 was $1.1 billion, up slightly compared to the third quarter of 2023. The growth was primarily driven by increased project execution activities on various Building and Civil segment projects in California and New York, as well as certain Civil segment projects in the Northern Mariana Islands and British Columbia, largely offset by the impact of certain current-quarter net charges discussed below. Loss from construction operations for the third quarter of 2024 was $106.8 million compared to a loss of $12.6 million for the same period in 2023. Net loss attributable to the Company for the third quarter of 2024 was $100.9 million, or a $1.92 diluted loss per share ("EPS"), compared to net loss attributable to the Company of $36.9 million, or a $0.71 diluted loss per share, for the third quarter of 2023. The higher loss was primarily due to previously announced net charges now totaling approximately $152 million ($111.6 million after tax, or $2.13 per diluted share) that the Company recorded in the third quarter of 2024 related to the resolution of various matters, including seven of its largest outstanding disputed balances. The financial impacts of those resolutions masked otherwise solid operational performance in the third quarter of 2024, driven by increased project execution activities in the Building and Civil segments. While the net charges resulted in a net loss for the third quarter of 2024, these resolutions are expected to result in a substantial net cash inflow to the Company of approximately $180 million, most of which is anticipated to be received in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company's loss from construction operations for the third quarter of 2024 was also negatively impacted by $16.5 million ($0.23 per diluted share) of share-based compensation expense, as compared to $3.5 million ($0.05 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2023. The higher expense in the current-year period was primarily due to a substantial increase in the Company’s stock price during 2024, which increased the expense recognized for certain long-term incentive compensation awards with payouts that are indexed to the Company's stock price. Management Remarks Ronald Tutor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We have tremendous momentum with several large new project wins in the third quarter that resulted in a new record backlog of $14 billion. This backlog provides us a solid foundation upon which we expect to build a profitable, multi-year revenue stream, with the potential for significant continued growth over the next few months as we look to finalize the contract for the multi-billion-dollar Manhattan Jail, as we announced this morning, and pursue other large projects. We are pleased to put many of our largest disputes behind us, and expect to return to profitability in 2025, with even stronger earnings anticipated in 2026 and beyond, as various newer projects progress to advanced design and enter the construction phase.” Gary Smalley, President, added, “We are on track to shatter our previous annual operating cash flow record this year due to strong anticipated cash collections from new and existing projects, as well as from recent dispute resolutions. We have already paid down $50 million of our Term Loan B debt in the fourth quarter, and we plan to utilize the record cash flow to further deleverage our balance sheet, delivering on what we previously indicated would be a key capital allocation objective. These are truly exciting times for Tutor Perini and we expect to continue generating significant cash flow, reducing debt, and winning new major projects to ensure a much brighter future than ever before.” Backlog Update As noted above, backlog grew to $14.0 billion as of September 30, 2024, up 35% compared to $10.4 billion as of June 30, 2024, setting a new record for the Company that far exceeded its previous record backlog of $11.6 billion reported for the first quarter of 2019. The Civil and Building segments were the primary contributors to the new awards activity in the third quarter of 2024. The largest new awards and contract adjustments during the third quarter of 2024 included:
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company announced the following:
In addition, the Company is anticipating owners' decisions and potential awards in the fourth quarter of 2024 for other large projects that it has recently bid or will be bidding on shortly, including the $1.5 billion Newark AirTrain and the $550 million Raritan River Bridge Replacement. The Company also plans to bid on the $2.2 billion Midtown Bus Terminal Replacement project in New York during the first quarter of 2025. Outlook and Guidance As previously announced on October 21, 2024, the Company withdrew its 2024 guidance due to the adverse earnings impact of the net charges recorded in the third quarter of 2024 related to several dispute resolutions as described above. The Company expects a return to profitability in 2025 and anticipates issuing its initial guidance for 2025 in February, when it reports its results for the full year of 2024.
