Management Commentary
“We had a record-setting revenue and Adjusted EBITDA year in fiscal 2023 driven by the strength and diversification of our business,” said CPH CEO Bruce Young. “Each of our end markets contributed to this performance, particularly as residential construction remained strong, and our expanded footprint enabled us to continue to win infrastructure projects. Our free cash flow generation also allowed us to continue to execute upon efforts to reduce leverage, hitting our 3.0x leverage ratio target by the end of the year.
“Our outstanding 2023 results, despite persistent cost inflation, underscore the resilience of our business and the diversity of our chosen geographies. We are encouraged by our ability to adapt to the challenges inherent in the current volatile macroeconomic environment and looking ahead, we believe our end market diversity and mission-critical service in the construction industry positions us well for continued growth. We expect to complement organic growth by continuing to evaluate opportunistic, accretive M&A while strategically reducing our leverage.”

1 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt and leverage ratio are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results
Revenue in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 5% to $120.2 million compared to $114.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. The increase was attributable to growth across each of the Company’s segments as a result of organic growth from higher volumes in certain regions coupled with improved pricing.
Gross profit in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 1% to $48.9 million compared to $48.6 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin decreased 160 basis points to 40.7% compared to 42.3% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in gross margin was primarily related to labor inflation and higher insurance costs.
General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter were $29.6 million compared to $30.3 million in the prior year quarter primarily due to a non-cash decrease in amortization expense. As a percentage of revenue, G&A costs were 24.6% in the fourth quarter compared to 26.4% in the prior year quarter.
As of December 6, 2023, the Company's 13,017,677 warrants to acquire shares of its common stock expired in accordance with their terms. As a result of the expiration, the warrants will no longer be recognized as a liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheet and there are no other warrants outstanding.
Net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 10% to $9.4 million compared to $8.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2022. Net income attributable to common shareholders in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased 11% to $9.0 million, compared to $8.1 million in the prior year quarter. Diluted earnings per share increased 14% to $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $0.14 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 increased slightly to $35.8 million compared to $35.6 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 29.8% compared to 31.1% in the prior year quarter.
Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results
Revenue in fiscal year 2023 increased 10% to $442.2 million compared to $401.3 million in fiscal year 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to growth across all business segments, with particularly strong growth from the U.S. Concrete Pumping and U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services segments. The U.S. Concrete Pumping growth was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Coastal Carolina in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, which contributed an incremental $14.6 million in revenue year-over-year. The U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services increase was primarily due to organic volume growth due to an increase in demand and pricing improvements.
Gross profit in fiscal year 2023 increased 9% to $178.3 million compared to $163.6 million in fiscal year 2022. Gross margin was 40.3% versus 40.8% in the prior year.
G&A expenses in fiscal year 2023 increased to $116.9 million compared to $113.5 million in fiscal year 2022 due to: (1) higher labor costs of approximately $6.5 million primarily due to additional personnel that joined the Company as a result of recent acquisitions and labor inflation; (2) higher rent, utilities and office expenses aggregating $1.3 million primarily due to recent acquisitions; and (3) higher legal and accounting expenses, partially offset by non-cash decreases in amortization expense of $3.6 million, $2.7 million related to fluctuations in the GBP and lower stock-based compensation expense of $1.2 million. G&A expenses as a percent of revenue were 26.4% for fiscal 2023 compared to 28.2% for the same period a year ago.
Net income attributable to common shareholders in fiscal year 2023 increased 12% to $30.0 million, compared to a net income attributable to common shareholders of $26.9 million in fiscal year 2022. Diluted earnings per share increased 15% to $0.54 per diluted share, compared to $0.47 per diluted share in fiscal year 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal year 2023 increased 7% to $124.6 million compared to $116.1 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 28.2% compared to 28.9% in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal year 2023 increased 32% to $30.0 million compared to $22.8 million in fiscal year 2022, with the increase primarily attributable to robust organic revenue growth.

Forward‐Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s actual results may differ from expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “outlook” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s expectations with respect to future performance, including the Company's fiscal year 2023 outlook. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the adverse impact of recent inflationary pressures, global economic conditions and developments related to these conditions, such as fluctuations in fuel costs on our business; the outcome of any legal proceedings or demand letters that may be instituted against or sent to the Company or its subsidiaries; the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; the ability to complete targeted acquisitions and to realize the expected benefits from completed acquisitions; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release presents Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt and free cash flow, all of which are important financial measures for the Company, but are not financial measures defined by GAAP.
EBITDA is calculated by taking GAAP net income and adding back interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking EBITDA and adding back transaction expenses, loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation, other income, net, goodwill and intangibles impairment and other adjustments. Transaction expenses represent expenses for legal, accounting, and other professionals that were engaged in the completion of various acquisitions. Transaction expenses can be volatile as they are primarily driven by the size of a specific acquisition. As such, the Company excludes these amounts from Adjusted EBITDA for comparability across periods. Other adjustments include the adjustments for warrant liabilities revaluation, non-recurring expenses and non-cash currency gains/losses. As of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company modified the method in which adjusted EBITDA is calculated by no longer including an add-back for director costs and public company expenses. Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 is recast by $2.5 million for these expenses to reflect this change.
The Company believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends related to our financial condition and results of operations, and as a supplemental tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with competitors who also present similar non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, these measures (1) are used in quarterly and annual financial reports and presentations prepared for management, our board of directors and investors, and (2) help management to determine incentive compensation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain cash expenses that the Company is obligated to make. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently or may not calculate it at all, which limits the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as comparative measures. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue for the period presented. See below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Net debt is calculated as all amounts outstanding under debt agreements (currently this includes the Company’s term loan and revolving line of credit balances, excluding any offsets for capitalized deferred financing costs) measured in accordance with GAAP less cash. Cash is subtracted from the GAAP measure because it could be used to reduce the Company’s debt obligations. A limitation associated with using net debt is that it subtracts cash and therefore may imply that there is less Company debt than the most comparable GAAP measure indicates. CPH believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors in order to monitor the Company’s leverage and evaluate the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. See “Non-GAAP Measures (Reconciliation of Net Debt)” below for a reconciliation of Net Debt to amounts outstanding under debt agreements calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters. The Company believes its leverage ratio measures its ability to service its debt and its ability to make capital expenditures. Additionally, the leverage ratio is a standard measurement used by investors to gauge the creditworthiness of an institution.
Free cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less net replacement capital expenditures and cash paid for interest. This measure is not a substitute for cash flow from operations and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since certain non-discretionary expenditures, such as debt servicing payments, are not deducted from the measure. CPH believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors in order to monitor and evaluate the cash flow yield of the business.
The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and net debt to the applicable most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. However, the Company has not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance range and free cash flow range included in this press release to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the lack of predictability regarding the various reconciling items such as provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization.
Current and prospective investors should review the Company’s audited annual and unaudited interim financial statements, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA, net debt and free cash flow differently and therefore these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

(1) Other adjustments include the adjustment for warrant liabilities revaluation, restructuring costs, non-recurring expenses and non-cash currency gains/losses. As of the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we modified the method in which adjusted EBITDA is calculated by no longer including an add-back for director costs and public company expenses. Adjusted EBITDA in the three and twelve months ended October 31, 2022 is recast by $0.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for these expenses to reflect this change.
