Forward guidance

Great Lakes expects improved results in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to project activity, backlog, new project awards, and fewer vessel drydocks. However, the company does not expect to achieve its original expectations for 2021.

Tailwinds

  • Improved project performance due to safety protocols and vaccination efforts.
  • Strong domestic bid market, expected to be as strong as 2020.
  • Support for the dredging industry in the Corps’ 2022 budget.
  • Funding to improve the nations resilience to the effects of climate change.
  • Strong support for offshore wind from the Biden administration.

Headwinds

  • Lingering COVID-19 related costs impacted the third quarter results.
  • Project delays due to Hurricane Ida.
  • Damage to one vessel, resulting in a 6-week unplanned drydock.
  • Decrease in realized project margins attributed to inefficiencies caused by COVID-19.
  • Company does not expect to achieve its original expectations for 2021.
