MELBOURNE, FL--(Marketwired - November 12, 2015) - The Goldfield Corporation (
Nine-Months Ended September 30, 2015
For the nine-months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period last year:
- Revenue increased 30.2% to $91.1 million from $69.9 million -- mainly attributable to growth in master service agreement (MSA) work.
- Income from continuing operations before income taxes increased 35.5% to $4.3 million despite losses recognized in the first two quarters of this year on the now completed projects in Texas.
- Net income almost doubled to $2.2 million ($0.09 per share) from $1.3 million ($0.05 per share). Net income for the nine-months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, included after tax charges of $300,000 and $665,000, respectively, in discontinued operations from a previously disclosed environmental remediation project, which is now completed.
Three-Months Ended September 30, 2015
For the three-months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period last year:
- Revenue increased 19.4% to $27.1 million from $22.7 million -- mainly attributable to higher revenue from MSA work.
- Income from continuing operations before income taxes increased 59.0% to $3.0 million from $1.9 million, with our operating margin growing to 15.8% from 13.0%.
- Net income rose 47.1% to $1.7 million ($0.07 per share) from $1.2 million ($0.05 per share). Net income for the three-months ended September 30, 2015 included after tax charges of $99,000 in discontinued operations from the environmental remediation project mentioned above.
Backlog
Twelve-month electrical construction backlog has remained steady. As of September 30, 2015, $88.5 million of backlog is expected to be realized within twelve months, compared to $87.4 million at the same date last year. Total backlog, which includes total revenue estimated over the life of an MSA plus estimated revenue from fixed-price contracts, was $214.5 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to $287.3 million as of the same date last year. This decline resulted from completion of some MSA work, not replaced by new work and the reduction in estimated work under certain MSAs. The size and amount of future projects awarded under MSAs cannot be determined with certainty and revenue from such contracts may vary substantially from current estimates.
John H. Sottile, President and Chief Executive Officer of Goldfield said, "We are pleased with the strong growth in our revenue and our improved operating margin. With the drag from our unprofitable Texas projects and the environmental remediation work completed, we have a positive outlook."
