Current report
The new U.S. administration has announced or imposed a series of tariffs on U.S. trading partners. The extent and duration of increased tariffs and the resulting impact on general economic conditions and on our business is uncertain. The potential outcomes depend on various factors, such as negotiations between the U.S. and affected countries, the responses of other countries or regions, exemptions or exclusions that may be granted, availability and cost of alternative sources of supply, and demand for our services in affected markets. We will continue to monitor these developments closely, particularly those that affect our business which operates in both the U.S. and Canada. We are also developing contingency plans, including alternative sourcing strategies and supplier diversification to mitigate potential future impacts.

Gross profit was $518.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $87.8 million, or 20.4%, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue in our Energy segment and improved margins in both segments. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 11.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 10.3% for the same period in 2023, primarily driven by improved margins in both segments.
Previous report
SG&A expenses were $286.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $38.8 million, or 15.7%, compared to 2023 primarily due to increased people costs to support revenue growth as well as higher technology costs associated with ongoing initiatives. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 6.2% compared to 5.9% for the corresponding period in 2023.
Previous report
Interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, decreased $3.5 million compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to lower average debt balances, partially offset by a $1.2 million unrealized loss on our interest rate swap in 2024 compared to a $3.0 million unrealized gain in 2023.
Previous report
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased by $22.4 million, or 34.6%, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to improved margins and higher revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 13.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 9.9% in the same period in 2023, primarily due to productivity issues on some legacy projects from our PLH Group, Inc. (“PLH”) acquisition experienced in 2023, strong performance in our power delivery market in 2024, and the increased benefit of higher margin storm work in 2024.

Previous report
Utilities Segment
Previous report
Revenue decreased by $58.7 million, or 3.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the substantial completion of a major substation project in our power delivery market in the second half of 2023 and lower activity in our gas operations market. Partially offsetting the overall decline was increased project work in our power delivery market and increased activity in our communications market.

Previous wording
We have completed major underground and industrial projects for a number of large natural gas transmission and petrochemical companies in the United States, major electrical and gas projects for a number of large utility companies in the United States, significant renewable energy projects for energy companies, as well as projects for our engineering customers. We enter into a large number of contracts each year, and the projects can vary in length from daily work orders to as long as 36 months, and occasionally longer, for completion on larger projects. Although we have not been dependent upon any one customer in any year, a small number of customers tend to constitute a substantial portion of our total revenue in any given year.

The classification of revenue and gross profit for segment reporting purposes can at times require judgment on the part of management. Our segments may perform services across industries or perform joint services for customers in multiple industries. To determine reportable segment gross profit, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, such as facility costs, equipment costs and indirect operating expenses were made.

Previous wording
We actively monitor the impact of the dynamic macroeconomic environment, including the impact of inflation and volatility in the commodities markets, on all aspects of our business. We have experienced increased fuel and labor costs and anticipate that elevated levels of cost inflation could persist in 2024. In an effort to mitigate the impacts of inflation on our operations, we attempt to recover increases in the cost of labor, equipment, fuel and materials through price escalation provisions that allow us to adjust billing rates for certain major contracts annually; by considering the estimated effect of such increases when bidding or pricing new work; or by entering into back-to-back contracts with suppliers and subcontractors. However, the annual adjustment provided by certain contracts is typically subject to a cap and there can be an extended period of time between the impact of inflation on our costs and when billing rates are adjusted. In some cases, our actual cost increases have exceeded the contractual caps, and therefore negatively impacted our operations. We have been successful in renegotiating some of our major contracts to address the increased costs on future work and will continue to address this with our customers going forward.

In some cases, our actual cost increases have exceeded the contractual caps, and therefore negatively impacted the profitability of our operations until the contracts have been renegotiated to reflect these higher costs.
Previous wording
Fluctuations in the market prices of oil, gas and other fuel sources have affected demand for our services. Volatility in the prices of oil, gas, and liquid natural gas that has occurred in the past few years has created uncertainty with respect to demand for our pipeline services, both in the near term and for future projects. While the construction of gathering lines within the oil shale formations may remain at lower levels for an extended period, we believe that over time, the need for pipeline infrastructure for mid-stream and gas utility companies will result in a continuing need for our services.

Previous wording
The continuing changes in the regulatory environment have affected the demand for our services, either by increasing our work, delaying projects, or cancelling projects. For example, environmental laws and regulations have provided challenges to pipeline projects, resulting in delays or cancellations that impact the timing of revenue recognition. However, environmental laws and new pipeline regulations could increase the demand for our pipeline maintenance and integrity services. In addition, the regulatory environment in certain states has resulted in delays for the construction of gas-fired power plants. However, the increased demand for renewable resources is also creating demand for our infrastructure services and additional opportunities for our Energy segment, such as the need for battery storage and the construction of utility scale solar facilities.

We are exposed to certain market risks related to changes in interest rates. To monitor and manage these market risks, we have established risk management policies and procedures. Our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan bear interest at a variable rate which exposes us to interest rate risk. From time to time, we may use certain derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates. As of September 30, 2024, $300.0 million of our variable rate debt outstanding was economically hedged. Based on our variable rate debt outstanding as of September 30, 2024, a 1.0% increase or decrease in interest rates would change annual interest expense by approximately $5.4 million.

Often, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine, and we must exercise significant judgment. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates, and our estimates could change if they were made under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2023.
Current wording
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and that affect the amounts of revenue and expenses reported for each period. These estimates and assumptions must be made because certain information that is used in the preparation of our financial statements cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available, is dependent on future events, or is not capable of being readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Often, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine, and we must exercise significant judgment. Estimates may be used in our accounting for revenue recognized over time, the allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property and equipment, fair value assumptions in analyzing goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, self-insured claims liabilities and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates, and our estimates could change if they were made under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

For infrastructure services contractors, backlog can be an indicator of future revenue streams. Different companies define and calculate backlog in different manners. We define backlog as anticipated revenue from the uncompleted portions of existing contracts where scope is adequately defined, and therefore we can reasonably estimate total contract value (“Fixed Backlog”), and the estimated revenue on Master Service Agreements (“MSA”) work (“MSA Backlog”). We present two measures of backlog; one that includes Fixed Backlog and MSA Backlog for the next twelve months, and total backlog that includes all Fixed Backlog and MSA Backlog to the end of the MSA agreement. We do not consider renewals when estimating MSA Backlog. We do not include certain contracts in the calculation of fixed backlog where scope, and therefore contract value, is not adequately defined. We estimate MSA Backlog based on historical trends, anticipated seasonal impacts and estimates of customer demand based on information from our customers.

Liquidity represents our ability to pay our liabilities when they become due, fund business operations, and meet our contractual obligations and execute our business plan. Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash balances at the beginning of each period and our cash flows from operating activities. If needed, we have availability under our lines of credit to augment liquidity needs, and we have a current shelf registration statement filed with the SEC that allows for the issuance of an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities. Our short-term and long-term cash requirements consist primarily of working capital, investments to support revenue growth and maintain our equipment and facilities, general corporate needs, and to service our debt obligations. As of September 30, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, commercial letters of credit outstanding were $52.8 million, and available borrowing capacity was $272.2 million.
