Forward guidance

The Company anticipates continued solid revenue contributions from its existing backlog of large Civil segment infrastructure projects on the West Coast and other projects in Guam and is establishing its initial EPS guidance for 2022 at a range of $1.15 to $1.60.

Tailwinds

  • The recently enacted $1.2 trillion bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is expected to significantly benefit the Company’s business.
  • Expect a further increase in the already elevated demand for our services as a result of the passage of the federal infrastructure bill.
  • Years of sustained growth opportunities.
  • Anticipates continued solid revenue contributions from its existing backlog of large Civil segment infrastructure projects on the West Coast and other projects in Guam.
  • Earnings in 2022 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.

Headwinds

  • Offsetting these contributions, however, are certain Civil segment projects that have recently completed or will soon be completing.
  • Building segment backlog, which carries a substantially lower margin, increased $607 million in 2021 compared to the prior year.
  • The Company also anticipates that 2022 EPS will be negatively impacted by a more normalized effective income tax rate of 22% to 24% in 2022 compared to 16% in 2021.
  • COVID-19 pandemic has previously limited, and could again negatively impact, bidding and proposal activity, which may further delay new large construction projects, particularly if the pandemic worsens.
  • Anticipates lower EPS in 2022 compared to 2021.
