Tutor Perini Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: TPC), a leading civil, building and specialty construction company, reported results today for the second quarter of 2024. The Company generated $53.1 million of cash from operating activities in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $56.3 million for the same period of 2023. For the first six months of 2024, the Company generated $151.4 million of cash from operating activities, an increase compared to $77.7 million for the first six months of 2023. The operating cash flow for the first six months of 2024 was the Company's second-highest result for the first six months of any year since the merger between Tutor-Saliba Corporation and Perini Corporation in 2008. The Company continues to anticipate strong operating cash generation over the remainder of 2024 and in 2025.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $1.1 billion, up 10% compared to $1.0 billion for the second 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.

Income from construction operations for the second quarter of 2024 was $40.5 million, an increase of $38.1 million compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was principally due to contributions related to the increased project execution activities in the current-year quarter discussed above and the absence of certain significant prior-year unfavorable adjustments. The Company's income from construction operations for the second quarter of 2024 was negatively impacted by a $14.3 million ($0.19 per diluted share) increase in share-based compensation expense compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to a substantial increase in the Company’s stock price during the second quarter of 2024, which affected the fair value of liability-classified awards, as well as by an unfavorable adjustment of $12.4 million ($0.17 per diluted share) due to the impact of a settlement of two completed Civil segment highway projects in the Northeast. Net income attributable to the Company for the second quarter of 2024 was $0.8 million, or $0.02 diluted earnings per share ("EPS"), compared to net loss attributable to the Company of $37.5 million, or a $0.72 diluted loss per share, for the second quarter of 2023.

Backlog grew to $10.4 billion as of June 30, 2024 compared to $10.0 billion as of March 31, 2024. The Civil and Building segments were the primary contributors to the new awards activity in the second quarter of 2024. The most significant new awards and contract adjustments in the second quarter of 2024 included the Company's proportionate share of its contract value for a $1.3 billion bridge replacement project in Connecticut; a $216 million airport terminal connectors project at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida; $144 million of additional funding for certain mass-transit projects in California; a $136 million highway and bridge project in the Midwest; a $127 million electrical project in New York; a $74 million military facilities project in Guam; and $71 million of additional funding for various healthcare projects in California.

Outlook and Guidance

“We generated strong operating cash flow in the second quarter, and our operating cash flow for the first half of 2024 was our second-highest result for the first six months of any year,” remarked Ronald Tutor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we delivered solid year-over-year revenue growth and significantly improved earnings despite the impact of higher share-based compensation expense that resulted from a substantial increase in our stock price during the second quarter, as well as an unfavorable adjustment due to a project settlement, which will have a significant positive impact on our third-quarter operating cash flow. Our backlog is anticipated to grow significantly during the second half of this year and in 2025, as we pursue and expect to capture our share of various large project opportunities, some of which we have already bid and others that we expect to bid soon.”

Based on the Company's year-to-date results in 2024 and the current outlook for the remainder of the year, the Company is affirming its 2024 EPS guidance and still expects EPS to be in the range of $0.85 to $1.10.
