Tutor Perini Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

  • Solid operating cash flow of $21.3 million in Q1 2023
  • Sustained backlog of $7.9 billion provides good revenue visibility
  • Significant backlog growth expected in Q2 2023, with more than $3.2 billion of new awards already booked in the quarter

Tutor Perini Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE: TPC), a leading civil, building and specialty construction company, reported results today for the first quarter of 2023. Revenue was $776.3 million compared to $952.2 million for the first quarter of last year. The decrease was largely due to reduced project execution activities on a transportation project in the Northeast that is nearing completion, which impacted all three segments, and a previously reported unfavorable adjustment related to an adverse legal ruling on a completed mixed-use project in New York, which impacted the Building and Specialty Contractors segments, as discussed further below. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic-induced customer budgetary constraints, combined with certain political and other factors, resulted in the Company not being awarded certain Civil segment projects over the last few years totaling more than $10.0 billion despite having been the low or preferred bidder. Not being awarded these projects impacted revenue for the first quarters of both 2023 and 2022, and most of these projects are expected to be re-bid later in 2023 or in 2024.

Loss from construction operations for the first quarter of 2023 was $81.9 million, compared to $9.9 million for the same period in 2022. The loss for the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the unfavorable adjustment associated with the aforementioned adverse legal ruling on a completed mixed-use project in New York, which pertained to the Company's appeal of a bankruptcy court ruling on claims against the project's developer and resulted in a non-cash, pre-tax charge of $83.6 million, of which $72.2 million impacted the Building segment and $11.4 million impacted the Specialty Contractors segment. The loss for the 2023 period was also due to the temporary unfavorable impact to current-period earnings of $28.0 million from the successful negotiation of significant lower margin (and lower risk) change orders in the first quarter of 2023 on a Civil segment mass-transit project in California. These approved change orders increased the project’s overall estimated profit but reduced the project’s percentage of completion and overall margin percentage as of March 31, 2023. This temporary reduction to earnings is expected to reverse itself over the remaining life of the project. As a result, net loss attributable to the Company for the first quarter of 2023 was $49.2 million, or a $0.95 loss per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to the Company of $21.6 million, or a $0.42 loss per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022.

The Company generated $21.3 million of cash from operating activities in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $120.7 million for the same period of 2022. Due to business seasonality, the Company has only generated positive operating cash for the first quarter three times since the merger of Tutor-Saliba Corporation and Perini Corporation in 2008. The positive operating cash generation in the first quarter of 2023 was driven by solid collection activities, including collections associated with certain settlement negotiations that concluded in the fourth quarter of 2022. The operating cash result for the prior-year quarter was a first quarter record for the Company, driven by the timing of certain large collections. The Company anticipates strong operating cash generation over the remainder of 2023, with operating cash flow for 2023 expected to exceed the record amount reported for 2022.

Backlog was $7.9 billion as of March 31, 2023, down slightly compared to $8.3 billion for the same period last year but level with backlog at the end of 2022. The most significant new awards and contract adjustments in the first quarter of 2023 included $224 million of additional funding for a mass-transit project in California; a $91 million educational facility project in California; a $75 million military facility renovation project in Colorado; a $62 million bridge repair project in Minnesota; and $56 million of additional funding for a healthcare project in California. Subsequently, in the second quarter of 2023, the Company has been awarded more than $3.2 billion of new projects, including the $2.95 billion Brooklyn Jail design-build project in New York and a $222 million construction project at Tinian International Airport in the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands.

Outlook and Guidance

“We generated solid operating cash in the first quarter of 2023 and expect that our operating cash flow will continue to be strong for the rest of this year,” said Ronald Tutor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Tutor added, "Our backlog stood at $7.9 billion at the end of the first quarter and has already grown significantly in the second quarter with the addition of more than $3.2 billion of new awards, including the $2.95 billion Brooklyn Jail project. These new projects, together with others that we expect to capture later this year, will provide a strong foundation for growth and improved profitability over the next several years. Our bidding pipeline remains large and active, and we expect it to further expand as funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law reaches our customers, enabling them to advance various large, complex projects that have been long planned."

The Company's first quarter financial results make the achievement of its EPS guidance for 2023 challenging. Accordingly, the Company is withdrawing its EPS guidance at this time. However, the Company believes that certain potential positive events that may occur later this year could offset much of the negative results from the first quarter. Therefore, the Company will reassess its outlook over the coming months and intends to provide updated guidance when it reports its results for the second quarter of 2023.

______________________________________
(a)

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company’s income (loss) from construction operations was negatively impacted by an adverse legal ruling on a completed mixed-use project in New York, which resulted in a non-cash, pre-tax charge of $83.6 million ($60.1 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, after-tax), of which $72.2 million impacted the Building segment and $11.4 million impacted the Specialty Contractors segment, as well as an unfavorable adjustment of $28.0 million ($22.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, after tax) for a Civil segment mass-transit project in California, which resulted from the successful negotiation of significant lower margin (and lower risk) change orders that increased the project’s overall estimated profit but reduced the project’s percentage of completion and overall margin percentage as of March 31, 2023.

(b)

Consists primarily of corporate general and administrative expenses.

(c)

Depreciation and amortization is included in income (loss) from construction operations.

(d)

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s income (loss) from construction operations was negatively impacted by $25.5 million ($18.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, after tax) due to an adverse legal ruling on a dispute related to a completed Civil segment bridge project in New York and an adverse impact of $17.6 million ($13.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, after tax) for a Civil segment mass-transit project in California, which resulted from the successful negotiation of significant lower margin (and lower risk) change orders that increased the project’s overall estimated profit but reduced the project’s percentage of completion and overall margin percentage as of March 31, 2022.
