Forward guidance

The Company is establishing its initial EPS guidance for 2021 at a range of $1.80 to $2.20. Earnings in 2021 are expected to be weighted more heavily in the second half of the year due to the anticipated timing of large project activities, as well as typical business seasonality.

Tailwinds

  • Continued revenue growth from the existing backlog of large civil infrastructure projects on the West Coast and other projects in Guam.
  • Pursuit of several large prospective projects on the West Coast, in the Northeast and in Guam that are expected to be bid and awarded in 2021 and 2022.
  • Anticipated timing of large project activities in the second half of the year.
  • Typical business seasonality expected to contribute to earnings.
  • Optimism that the federal government will provide infrastructure funding support that many state and local customers are relying upon.

Headwinds

  • Certain large civil projects in the Northeast are completing or will be nearing completion over the next year.
  • The timing and magnitude of revenue contributions from prospective projects may not be sufficient to offset revenue reductions associated with the projects that will be completed or nearing completion in 2021.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and could continue to result in, delays in the bidding and awarding of certain projects the Company is pursuing, which could further delay large new revenue streams.
  • COVID-19 pandemic has caused a lack of available manpower, a reduction in field labor productivity and other inefficiencies, as well as negatively impacting project schedules, resulting in incremental costs for the year estimated to be in excess of $50 million, much of which we are seeking to recover from our customers.
  • The pandemic has also led to delays in project bids and contract awards.
