Management Comments

Bill Koertner, MYR's President and CEO said, "We experienced another solid quarter of financial performance resulting in higher gross profit, gross margin and cash generation. We recorded a legal reserve in connection with ongoing litigation during the quarter. Excluding the effects of this legal reserve, net income and EPS would have exceeded the comparable quarter last year by about one million dollars or four cents a share." Mr. Koertner also commented, "Our T&D and C&I markets continue to provide opportunities for MYR, however, competition remains strong which has pressured contract bid margins. We are exploring some new regional markets where we have had limited or no presence historically. This possible expansion could come through organic growth or through acquisitions or asset purchases like the one we completed in Alaska during the quarter. We continue to invest in equipment and tooling to improve our competitive position and grow our businesses. To support our substantial investment in equipment, we recently opened a new fleet manufacturing and maintenance facility. Our experienced management team, skilled work force, list of completed projects, extensive fleet of specialty equipment and strong balance sheet provide MYR a strong resume and flexibility to grow the business."

Third-Quarter Results

MYR reported third-quarter 2013 revenues of $232.9 million, a decrease of $17.7 million, or 7.1 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2012. Specifically, the Transmission and Distribution (T&D) segment reported revenues of $187.2 million, a decrease of $17.1 million, or 8.4 percent, over the third 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 large transmission projects. Material and subcontractor cost in our T&D segment comprised approximately 27 percent of total contract cost in the third quarter of 2013, compared to approximately 45 percent in the third quarter of 2012. Additionally, $7.9 million of the reduction in revenue was attributable to decreased storm work this quarter as compared to the same quarter of last year. The Commercial and Industrial (C&I) segment reported third quarter 2013 revenues of $45.7 million, a decline of $0.6 million, or 1.2 percent, over the third quarter of 2012. The decline in C&I revenues was mainly due to lower revenues from projects with contract values greater than $10.0 million.

Consolidated gross profit increased to $32.5 million, or 13.9 percent of revenues, in the third quarter of 2013, compared to $29.6 million, or 11.8 percent of revenues, in the third 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 of the Company's labor and equipment cost, on a relative basis. Approximately 60 basis points of the 13.9 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 $19.6 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared to $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter included a legal reserve of $2.3 million pertaining to litigation regarding a traffic accident in Florida involving our subsidiary, The L.E. Myers Co. The Company intends to continue to defend its positions through the post trial and, if necessary, appeal processes. The remaining increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in employee compensation and fringe benefits related primarily to the increased number of personnel to support operations. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 8.4 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 6.3 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The legal reserve represents 1.0 percent of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

For the third quarter of 2013, net income was $8.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $8.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the same period of 2012. Without the legal reserve, third-quarter 2013 net income would have been $9.8 million, or $0.45 per diluted share. Third quarter 2013 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $20.4 million, or 8.8 percent of revenues, compared to $20.7 million, or 8.2 percent of revenues, in the third quarter of 2012. Excluding the legal reserve, EBITDA was $22.7 million or 9.8 percent of third-quarter 2013 revenue.

First Nine-Months Results

MYR reported revenues of $648.1 million for the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of $103.1 million, or 13.7 percent, compared to the first nine months of 2012. Specifically, the T&D segment reported revenues of $521.7 million, a decrease of $103.4 million, or 16.5 percent, over the first nine months of 2012. The majority of the decrease in revenues was the result of lower material and subcontractor costs associated with several large transmission projects. Material and subcontractor cost comprised approximately 26 percent of total contract cost in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to approximately 45 percent in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The C&I segment reported first nine-months 2013 revenues of $126.4 million, an increase of 0.2 percent compared to the first nine months of 2012.

Consolidated gross profit increased to $91.0 million for the first nine months of 2013 from $85.7 million for the first nine months of 2012. As a percentage of overall revenues, gross profit increased to 14.0 percent of revenues for the first nine months of 2013 from 11.4 percent of revenues for the first nine months 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 80 basis points of the 14.0 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 $51.7 million for the first nine months of 2013 from $46.1 million for the first nine months of 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included a legal reserve of $2.3 million, in which the Company intends to defend its position. The remaining increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in employee compensation and fringe benefits related primarily to the increased number of personnel to support operations. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 8.0 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 6.1 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The legal reserve represents 0.4 percent of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

For the first nine months of 2013, net income was $24.7 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to $24.5 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, for the same period of 2012. Without the legal reserve, net income for the first nine months of 2013 would have been $26.2 million, or $1.21 per diluted share. EBITDA for the first nine months of 2013 was $61.3 million, or 9.5 percent of revenues, compared to $58.4 million, or 7.8 percent of revenues, for the first nine months of 2012. Excluding the legal reserve, EBITDA was $63.6 million or 9.8 percent of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Backlog

As of September 30, 2013, MYR's backlog was $444.0 million, consisting of $298.0 million in the T&D segment and $146.0 million in the C&I segment. Total backlog at September 30, 2013 was $30.5 million lower compared to the $474.5 million reported at June 30, 2013. T&D backlog at September 30, 2013 declined $60.0 million, or 16.7 percent from June 30, 2013, while C&I backlog increased $29.5 million, or 25.3 percent, over the same period. Total backlog at September 30, 2013 decreased $47.3 million, or 9.6 percent, from the $491.3 million reported at September 30, 2012.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of September 30, 2013, MYR had cash and cash equivalents of $62.9 million and $157.5 million of borrowing availability under its credit facility. In the first nine months of 2013, MYR generated $71.5 million of cash from operations and spent $31.5 million in capital expenditures, which included $3.7 million to acquire construction equipment to establish operations in Alaska.

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.

(1) These financial performance measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial statements. These measures are used by management to evaluate our past performance and prospects for future performance, to review measurements included in the financial covenants in our credit facility 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.
(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.
(5) Book value per share is calculated by dividing total stockholders' equity at the end of the period by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the period.
(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.
(9) Asset turnover is calculated by dividing the current period revenue by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(10) Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(11) Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total stockholders' equity at the beginning of the period.
(12) The Company also computed EBITDA excluding the legal reserve, which is a non-GAAP measure.
