Conference Call Scheduled for 9:00 am ET on March 26, 2021

PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Limbach Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: LMB) (“Limbach” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020. Despite the impact of the global pandemic, Limbach was able to generate year over year revenue growth, substantially increase profitability, and improve cash flow during 2020. Most notably during 2020, gross margin increased 130 basis points to 14.3% contributing to a net income of $5.8 million and an increase of approximately 50% to an Adjusted EBITDA of $25.1 million.

Charlie Bacon, Limbach’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Limbach recorded a strong year of profitable operation in 2020 and continued to have substantial year over year growth of our service and owner direct business in the fourth quarter, which is the core foundation of our strategic plan. We enter 2021 with a substantially improved capital structure following our successful refinancing, which occurred subsequent to the close of the fiscal year. As a result of the Company’s significantly reduced interest rates on its senior debt facilities and a lower overall level of funded debt, we expect to realize approximately $4.0 million of reduced cash interest expense in fiscal 2021 compared to 2020. When combined with our recent capital raise, we believe we are in a strong position to execute on many key initiatives including the acceleration of our owner-direct strategy, digital transformation, and pursuit of strategic growth. Last year, we made meaningful progress against our three core initiatives of improved risk management, greater exposure to the owner-direct market, and cash flow generation and we believe there is additional opportunity to improve performance.”

Mr. Bacon continued, “Although we saw some deceleration in revenue and sales in the fourth quarter due to a pause in decision-making by business owners across the non-residential construction industry, we anticipate that to be a temporary issue. We believe the drivers underlying the industry as a whole, and several of Limbach’s core end-markets specifically continue to be supportive.”

The following are key financial highlights of fiscal year 2020. All comparisons are to fiscal year 2019, unless noted otherwise.

  • Consolidated revenue was $568.2 million for the year, an increase of 2.7% from prior year revenue of $553.3 million. Construction segment revenue of $441.0 million was flat year over year, while Service segment revenue of $127.2 million was up 10.5% from the prior year.
  • Gross margin increased to 14.3% during the year, from 13.0%, primarily as a result of improved project execution in the Construction segment and improved pricing across most lines of business in the Service segment.
  • SG&A expense increased approximately $0.4 million to $63.6 million during the year as compared to $63.2 million. As a percent of revenue, SG&A expense was 11.2% for the year as compared to 11.4%.
  • Interest expense (income), net was $8.6 million for the year as compared to $6.3 million as the Company paid higher interest rates in the year primarily due to the senior debt facilities entered into in 2019 that were refinanced in the first quarter of 2021.
  • Net income for the year was $5.8 million compared with a net loss of $1.8 million. Net income per share for both basic and diluted increased to $0.72 as compared to net loss per share for both basic and diluted of $0.23.
  • Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $39.8 million for the year, as compared to $(0.9) million. The increase in cash flow resulted from greater overall profitability, as well as improved working capital management.
  • Total backlog at December 31, 2020 was $444.4 million as compared to $561.2 million as of December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2020, Construction segment backlog accounted for $393.5 million of the consolidated total. Service segment backlog accounted for $50.9 million of the consolidated total.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Summary

Revenue

Fourth quarter 2020 revenue of $130.4 million was down 6.1% compared to $138.9 million for the prior year period. Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 is “As Recast” to reflect the adoption of ASC Topic 606, which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers based on the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods or services. Service segment revenue grew by $7.0 million or 24.8%, offset by the Construction segment revenue decrease of $15.5 million or (14.0)% quarter over quarter.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the fourth quarter 2020 was 14.3%, compared to 11.7% in the prior year period. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2019 is “As Recast” to reflect the adoption of ASC Topic 606. Construction segment gross margin on a dollar basis decreased $1.7 million as a result of a decrease in revenue, although project write downs were less this quarter when compared to the same period in the prior year. As a result, Construction segment gross margin was 7.4% for the fourth quarter 2020 compared to 7.9% for the prior year period. Service segment gross margin was 32.8%, compared to 26.3% in the prior year period, as Service work project mix trended toward larger jobs which carried higher pricing. On a dollar basis, total gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $18.7 million, compared with $16.2 million for the prior year period.

SG&A Expense

Fourth quarter 2020 SG&A expense was $16.0 million, as compared to $13.5 million the prior year period. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to the reversal of $4.3 million of accrued performance-based compensation expense for nine months ended September 30, 2019 in the fourth quarter of 2019 due to the Company not meeting the performance criteria for that year. As a percentage of total revenue, fourth quarter 2020 SG&A expenses accounted for 12.3%, compared to 9.7% in the prior year period.

Net Income

Net income for the fourth quarter 2020 was $0.4 million, compared to $0.7 million in the prior year period. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 is “As Recast” to reflect the adoption of ASC Topic 606. Net income per share for the fourth quarter 2020 was $0.05 for both basic and diluted, compared to $0.08 for both basic and diluted in the prior year period.

Full Year 2020 Summary

Revenue

Consolidated revenue was $568.2 million for the year, an increase of 2.7% from prior year revenue of $553.3 million.

Construction segment revenue of $441.0 million increased 0.6%. The slight increase was primarily offset by a planned decline of revenue in the Southern California region. The Service segment revenue increase of $12.1 million to $127.2 million or 10.5% was primarily from the Company’s continuing focus on developing longer term customer relationships and sales of larger service owner-direct projects and contracts and growth in the maintenance contract base.

Gross Margin

Gross margin for the year was 14.3% as compared to 13.0% last year. Gross profit for the full year 2020 was $81.4 million compared to $71.9 million for the prior year, an increase of 13.2%.

In the Construction segment, gross margin increased 30 basis points. Construction segment gross profit percentage increased from 9.9% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to 10.2% for the year ended December 31, 2020, due to fewer project write downs in 2020 as a result of improved project execution, including less write downs in the Southern California region, than in the prior year period.

Service segment gross margin was 28.5% compared to 24.7% in fiscal 2019, due to increased Service project volume coupled with pricing.

SG&A Expense

SG&A expense for the full year was $63.6 million compared to $63.2 million in the prior year. The slight increase of approximately $0.4 million resulted from a $6.0 million increase in performance-based compensation expense due to the Company’s performance, offset by a reduction of $2.1 million in travel and entertainment expenses, a decrease of $0.7 million in professional fees, and $0.7 million in stock compensation expenses from the issuance of restricted stock units year over year and less material expense reductions in other corporate expense categories. In 2019, the Company did not accrue amounts for incentive compensation due to the Company not meeting the performance criteria for that year. As a percent of total revenue, SG&A expense for the year declined to 11.2% from 11.4% in the prior year.

Net Income

Net income was $5.8 million compared to a net loss of $1.8 million in the prior year. Net income per basic and diluted share for the year was $0.74 and $0.72, respectively, compared to a net loss per share of $0.23 for both basic and diluted for the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA for the year was $25.1 million as compared to $16.8 million in the prior year, an increase of 49.9%. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to the increased revenue and gross margins in both the Construction and Service segments during the year, offset by a slight increase in SG&A expense.

Backlog and Remaining Performance Obligations

Aggregate backlog at December 31, 2020 was $444.4 million as compared to $561.2 million as of December 31, 2019. At December 31, 2020, Construction segment backlog accounted for $393.5 million of the consolidated total, a decrease of 22.0% compared to Construction segment backlog at December 31, 2019 of $504.2 million. The reduction in Construction backlog has been intentional as we look to focus on higher margin projects than we have historically, as well as our focus on smaller, higher margin owner direct projects. Service segment backlog accounted for $50.9 million of the consolidated total, a decrease of 10.7% compared to Service segment backlog of $57.0 million at December 31, 2019. We believe our Service backlog decreased due to lower sales in this segment in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2020 because of macroeconomic uncertainty related to COVID-19.

Backlog includes unexercised contract options that are not included in the Company’s remaining performance obligations. At December 31, 2020, remaining performance obligations of the Company’s Construction and Service segment contracts were $393.5 million and $35.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2019, remaining performance obligations of the Company’s Construction and Service segment contracts were $504.2 million and $41.9 million, respectively.

Balance Sheet

At December 31, 2020, the Company had current assets of $199.4 million and current liabilities of $150.3 million, representing a current ratio of 1.33x. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s current ratio was 1.25x. Working capital was $49.1 million at December 31, 2020, an increase of $10.6 million from December 31, 2019. The Company had no borrowings against its $14.0 million revolving credit facility at December 31, 2020, other than for standby letters of credit totaling $3.4 million. On February 24, 2021, subsequent to year-end, the Company refinanced its existing credit agreement using its proceeds to repay in full the senior debt facilities entered into in 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In assessing the performance of our business, management utilizes a variety of financial and performance measures. The key measure is Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, and taxes, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of, when applicable, other non-cash items or expenses that are unusual or non-recurring that we believe do not reflect our core operating results. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is meaningful to our investors to enhance their understanding of our financial performance for the current period and our ability to generate cash flows from operations that are available for taxes, capital expenditures and debt service. We understand that Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance and to compare our performance with the performance of other companies that report Adjusted EBITDA. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. When assessing our operating performance, investors and others should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, the results presented by Adjusted EBITDA cannot be achieved without incurring the costs that the measure excludes. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, the most comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.

We refer to our estimated revenue on uncompleted contracts, including the amount of revenue on contracts for which work has not begun, less the revenue we have recognized under such contracts, as “backlog.” Backlog includes unexercised contract options.
