MYR Group Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results

THORNTON, Colo., Feb. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MYR Group Inc. (“MYR” or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MYRG), a holding company of leading specialty contractors serving the electric utility infrastructure, commercial and industrial construction markets in the United States and Canada, announced today its fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results, and a new share repurchase program (“Repurchase Program”). Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights Quarterly revenues of $829.8 millionQuarterly net income of $16.0 million, or $0.99 per diluted shareQuarterly EBITDA of $45.5 million Full Year 2024 Highlights Full-year revenues of $3.36 billionFull-year net income of $30.3 million, or $1.83 per diluted shareFull-year EBITDA of $117.8 millionBacklog of $2.58 billion Management CommentsRick Swartz, MYR’s President and CEO, said, “We finished 2024 with our fourth quarter performance showing overall improvement compared to the third quarter. A steady backlog of $2.58 billion reflects a healthy bidding environment and the continued investment in infrastructure to meet growing electrification demands across the U.S. and Canada.” Mr. Swartz continued, “Overall, we see robust project opportunities with key market drivers such as system hardening, grid modernization, technology advancements, transit infrastructure improvements, and decarbonization providing long-term growth opportunities across our business. We are eager to continue to serve as a resourceful and committed partner for our customers, demonstrating strong project execution, and generating positive returns for our shareholders in 2025.” Fourth Quarter ResultsMYR reported fourth-quarter 2024 revenues of $829.8 million, a decrease of $174.4 million, or 17.4 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Specifically, our T&D segment reported quarterly revenues of $450.0 million, a decrease of $141.5 million, or 23.9 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2023, due to a decrease of $136.1 million in revenue on transmission projects, primarily related to certain clean energy projects that have reached mechanical completion, as well as a decrease of $5.4 million in revenue on distribution projects. Our C&I segment reported quarterly revenues of $379.8 million, a decrease of $32.9 million, or 8.0 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily due to a decrease in revenue on fixed priced contracts offset by an increase in revenue on T&E contracts. Consolidated gross profit decreased to $85.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $97.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to lower revenues from certain clean energy projects in our T&D segment that have reached mechanical completion, partially offset by higher margins on other projects. Gross margin increased to 10.4 percent for the fourth quarter of 2024 from 9.7 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the continued benefit of higher margins on certain completed projects and certain projects nearing completion. These benefits largely related to better-than-anticipated productivity and previous favorable change orders. Gross margin was also positively impacted by better-than-anticipated productivity experienced during the fourth quarter. These margin increases were partially offset by a decrease in gross margin related to clean energy projects in T&D, the unfavorable impact of a C&I project that has reached substantial completion and labor and project inefficiencies. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in gross margin decreases of 2.9 percent and 2.2 percent for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. T&D operating income margin was 6.7 percent for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to operating income of 7.2 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily related to losses on certain clean energy projects that have reached mechanical completion, due to higher labor and contract related costs as well as labor and project inefficiencies. Combined, the gross profit changes related to certain clean energy projects negatively impacted operating income as a percentage of revenues by 3.0 percent in the fourth quarter of 2024. C&I operating income margin was 3.9 percent for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 2.1 percent for the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the continued benefit of higher margins on certain completed projects and certain projects nearing completion. These benefits largely related to better-than-anticipated productivity and previous favorable change orders. Operating income margin was also positively impacted by significant estimated gross profit changes related to better-than-anticipated productivity experienced during the fourth quarter. These increases were partially offset by a single project, which had a negative impact of 2.2 percent on C&I operating income margin during the fourth quarter. This project reached substantial completion during the fourth quarter of 2024. The loss on this project was primarily due to scope additions, increased labor costs related to schedule compression, and lower productivity due to access and workflow issues. Additionally, C&I operating income margin was positively impacted by a decrease in contingent compensation expense related to a prior acquisition. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased to $56.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $60.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The period-over-period decrease was primarily due to a decrease in employee incentive compensation costs and a decrease of $3.1 million of contingent compensation expense related to a prior acquisition, partially offset by an increase in employee-related expenses to support future growth in our operations. Interest expense increased to $2.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $1.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The period-over-period increase was primarily attributable to higher outstanding debt partially offset by lower interest rates during the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Other expense increased to $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to an insignificant amount for the fourth quarter of 2023. The change was largely due to foreign currency losses from changes in exchange rates on intercompany receivables. Income tax expense was $11.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, with an effective tax rate of 40.9 percent, compared to income tax expense of $11.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, which represented an effective tax rate of 32.3 percent. The increase in the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily due to higher other permanent difference items and the unrecognized benefit of deferred tax assets. For the fourth quarter of 2024, net income was $16.0 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, compared to $24.0 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, for the same period of 2023. Fourth-quarter 2024 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $45.5 million, compared to $52.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Full Year ResultsMYR reported revenues of $3.36 billion for the full year of 2024, a decrease of $281.6 million, or 7.7 percent, compared to $3.64 billion for the full year of 2023. Specifically, the T&D segment reported revenues of $1.88 billion, a decrease of $208.7 million, or 10.0 percent, from the full year of 2023, related to a decrease of $241.1 million in revenue on transmission projects, primarily related to certain clean energy projects that have reached mechanical completion, partially offset by an increase of $32.4 million in revenue on distribution projects. The C&I segment reported revenues of $1.48 billion, a decrease of $72.9 million, or 4.7 percent, from the full year of 2023, primarily due to the delayed start of certain projects in 2024. Consolidated gross profit was $290.3 million for the full year of 2024, compared to $364.4 million for the full year of 2023. The decrease in gross profit was due to lower margins and lower revenues. Gross margin decreased to 8.6 percent for the full year of 2024 from 10.0 percent for the full year of 2023. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to clean energy projects in T&D that have reached mechanical completion, the unfavorable impact of a C&I project that has reached substantial completion, labor and project inefficiencies, an increase in costs associated with schedule compression on certain projects, an unfavorable change order and an unfavorable job closeout. These margin decreases were partially offset by better-than-anticipated productivity, favorable change orders and favorable job closeouts. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in a gross margin decreases of 4.4 percent and 1.7 percent for the full year of 2024 and 2023, respectively. T&D operating income margin was 3.7 percent for the full year of 2024, compared to 7.2 percent for the full year of 2023. The decrease was primarily related to losses on certain clean energy projects that have reached mechanical completion. Losses on these projects were primarily related to contractual disputes, labor and project inefficiencies, higher labor and contract related costs and unfavorable weather conditions. Combined, the gross profit changes related to certain clean energy projects negatively impacted operating income margin by 5.5 percent. Operating income margin was also negatively impacted by an unfavorable job closeout and labor and project inefficiencies. These decreases were partially offset by better-than-anticipated productivity. C&I operating income margin was 3.2 percent for the full year of 2024, compared to 3.0 percent for the full year of 2023. The increase was primarily due to better-than-anticipated productivity, favorable change orders, favorable joint venture results and favorable job closeouts. These increases were partially offset by a single project, that has reached substantial completion, which had a negative impact of 2.3 percent on C&I operating income margin during the full year 2024. The loss on this project was primarily due to scope additions, increased labor costs related to schedule compression, and lower productivity due to access and workflow issues. C&I operating income margin was also negatively impacted by an increase in costs associated with labor and project inefficiencies, schedule compression on certain projects and an unfavorable change order. SG&A increased to $238.2 million for the full year of 2024, compared to $234.6 million for the full year of 2023. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase in employee-related expenses to support future growth in our operations and an increase in contingent compensation expense related to a prior acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in employee incentive compensation costs. Interest expense increased to $6.5 million for the full year of 2024, compared to $4.9 million for the full year of 2023. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to higher average debt balances partially offset by lower interest rates during the full year of 2024 as compared to the full year of 2023. Other expense increased to $1.5 million for the full year of 2024, compared to an insignificant amount for the full year of 2023. The change was largely due to foreign currency losses from changes in exchange rates on intercompany receivables. Income tax expense was $16.2 million for the full year of 2024, with an effective tax rate of 34.9 percent, compared to income tax expense of $34.0 million for the full year of 2023, with an effective tax rate of 27.2 percent. The increase in the tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to higher other permanent difference items and the unrecognized benefit of deferred tax assets, offset by lower stock compensation excess tax benefits. The increase in permanent difference items primarily related to deductibility limits of contingent compensation, associated with a prior acquisition. For the full year of 2024, net income was $30.3 million, or $1.83 per diluted share, compared to $91.0 million, or $5.40 per diluted share, for the same period of 2023. Full-year 2024 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $117.8 million, compared to $188.2 million for the full year of 2023. BacklogAs of December 31, 2024, MYR's backlog was $2.58 billion, compared to $2.60 billion as of September 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, T&D backlog was $818.2 million and C&I backlog was $1.76 billion. Total backlog at December 31, 2024 increased $64.0 million, or 2.5 percent, from the $2.51 billion reported at December 31, 2023. Balance SheetAs of December 31, 2024, MYR had $354.8 million of borrowing availability under our $490 million revolving credit facility. Share Repurchase ProgramIn addition, the Company announced today that its Board of Directors approved the Repurchase Program, which authorizes the Company to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $75.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock from time to time at management’s discretion on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, structured transactions or other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. The amount and timing of repurchases are subject to a variety of factors, including market and business conditions, as well as applicable contractual and legal requirements. The Repurchase Program will expire on September 5, 2025, or when the authorized funds are exhausted, whichever is earlier. The Company is not obligated to acquire any specific amount of common stock, and the Company’s Board of Directors may modify or terminate the Repurchase Program at any time. The Company intends to fund the Repurchase Program with cash on hand and through borrowings under its credit facility. Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo 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.

(1)Funded debt includes borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the outstanding balances of our outstanding equipment notes.(2)These financial performance measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial statements. These measures are used by management to evaluate our past performance, our prospects for future performance and our ability to comply with certain material covenants as defined within our credit agreement, and to compare our results with those of our peers. 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.(3)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. Certain material covenants contained within our credit agreement are based on EBITDA with certain additional adjustments, including our interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio, which we must comply with to avoid potential immediate repayment of amounts borrowed or additional fees to seek relief from our lenders. In addition, management considers EBITDA a useful measure because it provides MYR Group Inc. and its investors with an additional tool to compare MYR Group Inc. operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes to not directly reflect the Company’s core operations. Management further believes that EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of MYR Group Inc. financial statements in evaluating the Company’s operating performance and cash flow because EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a Company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, useful lives placed on assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.(4)EBITDA per diluted 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.(5)EBIA, net of taxes is defined as net income plus net interest plus amortization of intangible assets, less the tax impact of net interest and amortization of intangible assets. The tax impact of net interest and amortization of intangible assets is computed by multiplying net interest and amortization of intangible assets by the effective tax rate. Management uses EBIA, net of taxes, to measure our results exclusive of the impact of financing and amortization of intangible assets costs.(6)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.(7)Book value per period end share is calculated by dividing total shareholders’ equity at the end of the period by the period end shares outstanding.(8)Tangible book value is calculated by subtracting goodwill and intangible assets at the end of the period from shareholders’ equity 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 shareholders’ equity.(9)Tangible book value per period end share is calculated by dividing tangible book value at the end of the period by the period end number of shares outstanding. Tangible book value per period end share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share.(10)The funded debt to equity ratio is calculated by dividing total funded debt at the end of the period by total shareholders’ equity at the end of the period.(11)Asset turnover is calculated by dividing the current period revenue by total assets at the beginning of the period.(12)Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total assets at the beginning of the period.(13)Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total shareholders’ equity at the beginning of the period.(14)Return on invested capital is calculated by dividing EBIA, net of taxes, less any dividends, by average invested capital. Return on invested capital is not recognized under GAAP, and is a key metric used by management to determine our executive compensation.(15)Period end shares is calculated by adding average common stock equivalents for the quarter to the period end balance of common shares outstanding. Period end shares is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to diluted shares. Management views period end shares as a better measure of shares outstanding as of the end of the period.(16)Average invested capital is calculated by adding net funded debt (total funded debt less cash and marketable securities) to total shareholders’ equity and calculating the average of the beginning and ending of each period.
