Briefing

Primoris reported mixed results for Q4 2023, with revenue up but net income and adjusted net income down compared to the same period in 2022.

Primoris Services Corporation reported a revenue increase of 14.0% to $1.5 billion for Q4 2023, driven by renewables growth in the Energy segment. However, net income decreased by 9.3% to $37.7 million, and adjusted net income fell by 7.6% to $46.4 million, due to higher income tax and interest expense, partially offset by higher operating income. The company's backlog reached a record $10.9 billion.
