Management Comments
Bill Koertner, MYR's president and CEO said, "We are pleased with another quarter of solid financial performance including higher gross profit, EBITDA and cash generation for the second quarter of 2013. Our results benefitted from solid execution in the field and effective contract administration. Our highly skilled workforce, extensive fleet of equipment, commitment to safety, strong balance sheet and disciplined bidding approach are key ingredients to our long term success. We remain optimistic about our long term growth prospects in both our T&D and C&I markets."
Second-Quarter Results
MYR reported second-quarter 2013 revenues of $213.9 million, a decrease of $46.5 million, or 17.9 percent, compared to the second quarter of 2012. Specifically, the Transmission and Distribution (T&D) segment reported revenues of $174.0 million, a decrease of $41.8 million, or 19.4 percent, over the second quarter of 2012. The majority of the decrease in T&D revenues was the result of a reduction in the amount of material and subcontractor costs from several ongoing large transmission projects. Material and subcontractor cost in our T&D segment comprised approximately 24 percent of total contract cost in the second quarter of 2013, compared to approximately 47 percent in the second quarter of 2012. The Commercial and Industrial (C&I) segment reported second quarter of 2013 revenues of $39.9 million, a decline of $4.7 million, or 10.6 percent, over the second quarter of 2012.The decline in C&I revenues was mainly due to lower revenues from projects with contract values greater than $3.0 million.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $31.3 million, or 14.6 percent of revenues, in the second quarter of 2013, compared to $30.1 million, or 11.5 percent of revenues, in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in both gross profit and gross margin was largely due to better project execution, higher equipment utilization and the underlying mix of contract cost components, which included less material and subcontractor cost and more Company labor and equipment cost, on a relative basis. Approximately 130 basis points of the 14.6 percent gross margin was due to improved contract margins on several large transmission projects as a result of increased productivity levels, cost efficiencies, additional work and effective contract management.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $16.1 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $14.5 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in employee compensation, medical insurance, and fringe benefits related primarily to the increased number of personnel to support operations.
For the second quarter of 2013, net income was $9.5 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, compared to $9.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the same period of 2012. Second quarter 2013 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $22.5 million, or 10.5 percent of revenues, compared to $21.8 million, or 8.4 percent of revenues, in the second quarter of 2012.
First-Half Results
MYR reported revenues of $415.3 million for the first half of 2013, a decrease of $85.4 million, or 17.1 percent, compared to the first half of 2012. Specifically, the Transmission and Distribution (T&D) segment reported revenues of $334.6 million, a decrease of $86.2 million, or 20.5 percent, over the first six months of 2012. The majority of the decrease in revenues was the result of lower material and subcontractor costs associated with large transmission projects. Material and subcontractor cost comprised approximately 29 percent of total contract cost in the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately 45 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2012. The C&I segment reported first half 2013 revenues of $80.7 million, an increase of 1.1 percent from 2012.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $58.6 million for the first half of 2013 from $56.2 million for the first half of 2012. As a percentage of overall revenues, gross profit increased to 14.1 percent of revenues for the first half of 2013 from 11.2 percent of revenues for first half of 2012. The increase in both gross profit and gross margin was largely due to better project execution, higher equipment utilization and the underlying mix of contract cost components, which included less material and subcontractor cost and more of the Company's labor and equipment cost, on a relative basis. Approximately 100 basis points of the 14.1 percent gross margin was due to improved contract margins on several large transmission projects as a result of increased productivity levels, cost efficiencies, additional work and effective contract management.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $32.2 million for the first half of 2013 from $30.4 million for the first half of 2012. The increase was mainly due to increases in employee compensation and benefit costs, related primarily to the increased number of personnel to support operations. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses increased to 7.8 percent for the first half of 2013 from 6.1 percent for the first half of 2012.
For the first half of 2013, net income was $16.4 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to $15.7 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the same period of 2012. EBITDA for the first half of 2013 was $40.8 million, or 9.8 percent of revenues, compared to $37.7 million, or 7.5 percent of revenues, for the first half of 2012.
Backlog
As of June 30, 2013, MYR's backlog was $474.5 million, consisting of $357.9 million in the T&D segment and $116.6 million in the C&I segment. Total backlog at June 30, 2013 was $7.4 million higher compared to the $467.1 million reported at March 31, 2013. T&D backlog increased $1.0 million, or 0.3 percent, while C&I backlog increased $6.4 million, or 5.8 percent. Total backlog decreased $68.5 million, or 12.6 percent, from the $543.0 million reported at June 30, 2012.

As of June 30, 2013, MYR had cash and cash equivalents of $37.6 million and $155.3 million of borrowing availability under its credit facility. MYR's long-term credit agreement matures in December 2016.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To 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.

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. | ||||
| (2) 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. EBITDA is a component of the debt to EBITDA covenant that we must report to our bank on a quarterly basis. In addition, management considers EBITDA a useful measure because it eliminates differences, which are caused by different capital structures as well as different tax rates and depreciation schedules when comparing our measures to our peers' measures. | ||||
| (3) EBITDA per 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. | ||||
| (4) 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. | ||||

| (6) Tangible book value is calculated by subtracting goodwill and intangible assets outstanding at the end of the period from stockholders' equity outstanding 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 stockholders' equity. | ||||
| (7) Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible book value at the end of the period by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. Tangible book value per diluted share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share. | ||||
| (8) The debt leverage ratio is calculated by dividing total debt at the end of the period by total stockholders' equity at the end of the period. | ||||
