Q2 2018 Revenues up 18.4% Versus Prior Year; Aggregate Backlog of $492.5 million at Quarter End
Conference Call Scheduled for 9:00am ET Wednesday August 15, 2018
PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Limbach Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:LMB) (“Limbach” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Total Q2 2018 revenues increased 18.4% versus the prior year period to $139.5 million. Construction segment revenue grew 18.2% from the prior year period while Service segment revenues gained 19.3%.
Other key financial highlights of the quarter included:
- Gross margin was 11.3% in the second quarter of 2018, compared with 13.2% in the second quarter of the prior year. During the second quarter of 2018, gross profit was negatively impacted by $3.6 million of project-related write-downs in the Company’s Mid-Atlantic branch. Excluding the impact of the Mid-Atlantic branch’s second quarter 2018 results, gross margin would have been 14.8%, an increase of 180 basis points year over year.
- Construction revenue growth of 18.2% versus the same quarter in 2017 was primarily the result of strong activity levels in the New England, Southern California, Ohio, Florida and Mid-Atlantic regions, partially offset by declines in the Michigan and Western Pennsylvania regions.
- Service segment revenue increased 19.3% to $25.8 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared with $21.6 million in the year-ago quarter.
- Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses totaled $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2018, down from $15.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 and up modestly from $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2017. As a percentage of revenues, second quarter 2018 SG&A expenses were 9.8%, compared with 13.0% in the first quarter of 2018 and 10.9% in the second quarter of 2017.
- Net income attributable to Limbach Holdings, Inc. common stockholders in the second quarter of 2018 was $0.7 million, compared with $0.4 million for the same quarter of 2017.
- Construction operations contributed 81.5% of total revenue, while Service operations contributed 18.5%.
- Aggregate backlog at June 30, 2018 was $492.5 million, compared with $452.5 million at March 31, 2018 and $461.4 million at December 31, 2017. Current backlog consists of $47.2 million of Service work and $445.3 million of Construction work. Limbach expects approximately $217.4 million of current, aggregate backlog to be recognized as revenue in fiscal 2018.
- The Company is increasing 2018 revenue guidance by $10 million to a range from $530 million to $550 million while reducing Adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range from $18 million to $20 million.
Management Commentary
Charlie Bacon, CEO of Limbach, commented, “Last quarter I noted how our sales activity was off to a great start in 2018 and that momentum has not only continued but accelerated in the second quarter. We ended the quarter with backlog of $492.5 million, with an additional $381 million of business that has been promised to us but not yet recorded as backlog. These sales are spread across the company, with a large portion of the promised business being won by our new office in downtown Detroit. We are very pleased to see that office generating such immediate opportunities, which is on the heels of the completion of the Detroit Red Wings arena, the largest contract in the company’s history. Detroit is coming back strong and Limbach is well positioned to continue to capture new business for both our construction and service segments.”
Mr. Bacon continued, “Overall, macro conditions in our industry – non-residential construction – are very strong and we are optimistic that this dynamic will remain in place for the next several years. We did unfortunately continue to face scheduling issues in our Mid-Atlantic branch on several projects which resulted in additional write-downs. We have taken significant steps in response, including the transfer of key operational management resources from other branches to complete our contracted work and pursue recovery on several large projects where scheduling issues impacted our results. A number of these large-scale projects have now been substantially completed.”
Mr. Bacon added, “Regarding our acquisition activities, our team has reviewed over 100 companies and are actively continuing our examination of approximately 30 companies in our pipeline. We are in various late stage discussions with several attractive companies and remain laser focused on our criteria and our focused strategic growth plan. I look forward to sharing more information during our scheduled earnings call.”
Second Quarter Summary
Revenues
Second quarter 2018 revenues of $139.5 million were up 18.4% versus $117.8 million for the prior year period, as both the Construction and Service segments recorded strong growth. Construction segment revenues of $113.7 million were up 18.2% while Service segment revenues of $25.8 million were up 19.3%. Construction operations accounted for 81.5% of revenues while Service operations provided the remaining 18.5%.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the second quarter of 2018 was 11.3%, compared with 13.2% in the year ago quarter. Service segment gross margin improved to 24.4%, compared with 21.1% in the year ago quarter, as service work volume increased along with more favorable project pricing. Construction gross margin decreased $1.5 million or 13.5% during the second quarter of 2018 due to write-downs of approximately $3.9 million on seven jobs, resulting from revisions in contract estimates. As a result, Construction segment gross margin was 8.4% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 11.4% for the second quarter of 2017. Excluding the second quarter 2018 results of the Mid-Atlantic branch, consolidated gross margin would have been 14.8%. On a dollar basis, gross profit in the second quarter was $15.8 million, compared with $15.5 million for the prior year period.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expense
Second quarter 2018 SG&A expenses were $13.7 million, compared to $12.8 million in the prior year period and $15.7 million in the first quarter of 2018. The year over year increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to $0.7 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with restricted stock units granted since June 30, 2017 and incremental total segment-related expenses of $0.7 million due to higher salary and benefits costs related to new hires at our branches, as partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in Corporate SG&A expense as a result of certain nonrecurring professional fees that were only paid in the 2017 period. As a percentage of total revenue, second quarter 2018 SG&A expenses accounted for 9.8% compared with 10.9% in the second quarter of 2017 and 13.0% in the first quarter of 2018. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue declined on both a sequential and year over year basis as the Company was able to hold expenses relatively level while revenues grew at a robust rate.
Net Income
Net income attributable to Limbach Holdings, Inc. common stockholders for the second quarter of 2018 was $0.7 million, compared with net income of $0.4 million in the prior year period. During the second quarter of 2017, the Company incurred a charge of $0.2 million relating to dividends on cumulative redeemable convertible preferred stock. Due to the completed redemption of the preferred shares during the first quarter of 2018, the Company did not record any charges for dividends thereon in the second quarter of 2018.
Six Months YTD Summary
Revenues
Year-to-date 2018 revenues of $260.1 million were up 11.6% versus $233.0 million for the prior year period. Construction segment revenues of $210.5 million were up 12.2% while Service segment revenues of $49.5 million were up 9.2%. Construction operations accounted for 81.0% of revenues while Service operations provided the remaining 19.0%.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the first six months of 2018 was 11.2%, compared with 12.6% in the year ago period. Service segment gross margin was 20.8%, compared with 20.7% in the year ago period. During the first six months of 2018, Construction segment margins were negatively impacted by write-downs of approximately $8.0 million on nine jobs, due to revisions in contract estimates. As a result, Construction segment gross margin was 8.9% for the year-to-date 2018 period compared to 10.6% for the comparable 2017 period. Excluding the results of the Mid-Atlantic branch for the first six months of 2018, gross margin would have been 15.2%. For the first six months of 2018, one project in the Service segment experienced a write-down of $0.9 million. On a dollar basis, gross profit for the first six months of 2018 was $29.1 million, compared with $29.3 million for the prior year period.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Year to date 2018 SG&A expense was $29.4 million, compared to $27.4 million in the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, Corporate SG&A expense included $1.1 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with the grant of restricted stock units. Additionally, Corporate SG&A expense decreased by $1.2 million for the first six months of 2018 as a result of certain nonrecurring professional fees that were only paid during the 2017 period. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $2.0 million of incremental combined segment-related SG&A expense due to $2.2 million in higher salary and benefits costs related to new hires at our branches, as partially offset by the absence of $0.2 million in 2017 bad debt expense related to a bankrupt customer. As a percentage of total revenue, 2018 year to date SG&A accounted for 11.3% compared with 11.7% in the prior year. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue declined as revenues grew at a faster rate than SG&A expense.
Net Loss
Net loss attributable to Limbach Holdings, Inc. common stockholders for the first six months of 2018 was $(3.8) million, compared with a net loss of $(1.0) million in the prior year period. A key item accounting for the difference in year over year performance was $2.2 million of cash premium paid in the first six months of 2018 related to the redemption of the Company’s redeemable, convertible preferred stock.
Backlog
Aggregate backlog at June 30, 2018 was $492.5 million, an increase of 8.8% compared with $452.5 million at March 31, 2018. The Company also has commitments for $381 million of Construction work which has not yet been recorded as backlog. Within the aggregate backlog figures, Construction backlog at June 30, 2018 was $445.3 million, versus $413.9 million at March 31, 2018 and $426.7 million at December 31, 2017, an increase of 7.6% and 4.4%, respectively. In addition, Service backlog at June 30, 2018 was $47.2 million, compared to $38.6 million as of March 31, 2018 and $34.7 million at December 31, 2017, an increase of 22.3% and 36.0%, respectively. The Company expects approximately $217.4 million of total backlog to be converted to revenues within the current fiscal year.
Balance Sheet
At June 30, 2018, the Company had current assets of $175.0 million and current liabilities of $155.7 million, representing a current ratio of 1.12x. Working capital was $19.3 million at June 30, 2018, a decrease of $11.4 million from December 31, 2017. The change in working capital was due to the usage of cash to pay down the Company’s revolving credit facility, an increase in net overbillings and the reclassification of the Company’s bridge term loan from long-term to current due to its contractual maturity in the next twelve months. Long-term debt was $21.1 million at June 30, 2018, up from $20.6 million at December 31, 2017.
2018 Guidance
The Company is increasing its previously announced revenue guidance for 2018 while reducing its previously announced Adjusted EBITDA guidance, as summarized in the table below.
| FY 2018 Estimates | ||||||||
| Current | Previous | |||||||
| Revenues | $530 – $550 million | $520 – $540 million | ||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $18 – $20 million | $20 – $24 million | ||||||
With respect to projected fiscal year 2018 Adjusted EBITDA, a quantitative reconciliation is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to taxes and other items, which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. We expect the variability of this item to have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

* Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
In assessing the performance of our business, management utilizes a variety of financial and performance measures. The key measure is Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is 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 Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.
