HENDERSON, Colo., Feb. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MYR Group Inc. (“MYR”) (NASDAQ: MYRG), a holding company of leading specialty contractors serving the electric utility infrastructure, commercial and industrial construction markets in the United States and Canada, announced today its fourth-quarter and full year 2021 financial results.
Highlights for 2021
Management CommentsRick Swartz, MYR’s President and CEO, said, “We finished 2021 with strong financial results in the fourth quarter, and full year revenues were $2.50 billion, setting a record high for the seventh consecutive year. Fourth quarter 2021 net income of $20.7 million, a 14.0 percent increase over the fourth quarter of 2020, and revenues, consolidated gross profit and EBITDA increased compared to the same period of 2020. Our backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $1.79 billion, reflecting the strength of our position in the market as a leading partner in the industry.” Mr. Swartz continued, “We are proud of our performance this past year and are excited to build upon our success in 2022. Industry outlooks indicate positive trends in Transmission and Distribution (“T&D”) spending, resiliency in our primary Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”) markets and growing opportunities in renewable energy. Our team is focused on delivering operational excellence, deepening customer relationships, and investing in our people and communities to elevate our performance in the coming year.”
Fourth Quarter ResultsMYR reported fourth-quarter 2021 revenues of $646.0 million, an increase of $38.0 million, or 6.3 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Specifically, our T&D segment reported record quarterly revenues of $353.3 million, an increase of $34.7 million, or 10.9 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to an increase in revenue on distribution projects and large-sized projects. Our C&I segment reported fourth-quarter 2021 revenues of $292.7 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 1.2 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to an increase in revenue on various-sized projects in certain geographic areas.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $83.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $76.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Gross margin increased to 12.9 percent for the fourth quarter of 2021 from 12.6 percent for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to better-than-anticipated productivity on certain projects, favorable job close-outs and favorable change orders on certain projects. These improvements were partially offset by labor and equipment inefficiencies on certain projects and an unfavorable change order adjustment on a project. Additionally, gross margin during the fourth quarter of 2021 was negatively impacted in certain geographic areas by an increase in project restrictions and disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in a gross margin increase of 1.0 percent and a decrease of 1.3 percent for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased to $52.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $50.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to an increase in employee-related expenses to support the growth in our operations, partially offset by a decrease in employee incentive compensation costs.
Income tax expense was $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, with an effective tax rate of 29.9 percent, compared to income tax expense of $7.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, which represented 28.0 percent of pretax income. The increase in the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 was primarily due to a higher than expected state tax rate.
For the fourth quarter of 2021, net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. was $20.7 million, or $1.20 per diluted share attributable to MYR Group Inc., compared to $18.2 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the same period of 2020. Fourth-quarter 2021 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $41.4 million, compared to $37.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Full Year ResultsMYR reported record revenues of $2.50 billion for the full year of 2021, an increase of $250.9 million, or 11.2 percent, compared to $2.25 billion for the full year of 2020. Specifically, the T&D segment reported revenues of $1.30 billion, an increase of $147.2 million, or 12.8 percent, from the full year of 2020, primarily related to an increase in revenue on distribution projects and large-sized projects. The C&I segment reported full year of 2021 revenues of $1.20 billion, an increase of $103.7 million, or 9.5 percent, from the full year of 2020, primarily due to an increase in revenue on various-sized projects in certain geographic areas. Additionally, revenues during the year ended December 31, 2020 were negatively impacted by a slight slowdown of work in certain geographic areas related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Consolidated gross profit was $325.0 million for the full year of 2021, compared to $275.9 million for the full year of 2020. The increase in gross profit was due to higher revenues and margins. Gross margin increased to 13.0 percent for the full year of 2021 from 12.3 percent for the full year of 2020. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to better-than-anticipated productivity on certain projects, favorable job close-outs and favorable change order adjustments on certain projects. These improvements were partially offset by labor and equipment inefficiencies on certain projects and unfavorable change order adjustments on certain projects. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in a gross margin increase of 0.4 percent and a decrease of 0.8 percent for the full years of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
SG&A increased to $207.2 million for the full year of 2021, from $188.5 million for the full year of 2020. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to higher employee incentive compensation costs, contingent compensation expense related to prior acquisitions and an increase in employee-related expenses to support the growth in our operations.
Income tax expense was $31.3 million for the full year of 2021, with an effective tax rate of 26.9 percent, compared to income tax expense of $22.6 million for the full year of 2020, with an effective tax rate of 27.8 percent. The decrease in the tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to the impact of the global intangible low tax income (“GILTI”) during the year ended December 31, 2020.
For the full year of 2021, net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. was $85.0 million, or $4.95 per diluted share attributable to MYR Group Inc., compared to $58.8 million, or $3.48 per diluted share, for the same period of 2020. Full-year 2021 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was a record $164.2 million, compared to $132.4 million for the full year of 2020.
BacklogAs of December 31, 2021, MYR's backlog was $1.79 billion, compared to $1.63 billion as of September 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, T&D backlog was $676.1 million and C&I backlog was $1.11 billion. Total backlog at December 31, 2021 increased $139.6 million, or 8.5 percent, from the $1.65 billion reported at December 31, 2020.
Balance SheetAs of December 31, 2021, MYR had $362.7 million of borrowing availability under our $375 million revolving credit facility.
Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo supplement MYR’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), MYR uses certain non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found at the end of this release. MYR’s definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
MYR believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful because they (i) provide both management and investors meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results, (ii) permit investors to view MYR’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate MYR’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance, (iii) publicly disclose results that are relevant to financial covenants included in MYR’s credit facility and (iv) otherwise provide supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating MYR.

| (1) | Funded debt includes borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the outstanding balances of our outstanding equipment notes. |
| (2) | These financial performance measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial statements. These measures are used by management to evaluate our past performance, our prospects for future performance and our ability to comply with certain material covenants as defined within our credit agreement, and to compare our results with those of our peers. In addition, we believe that certain of the measures, such as book value, tangible book value, free cash flow, asset turnover, return on equity and debt leverage are measures that are monitored by sureties, lenders, lessors, suppliers and certain investors. Our calculation of each measure is described in the following notes; our calculation may not be the same as the calculations made by other companies. |
| (3) | EBI, net of taxes is defined as net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. plus net interest, less the tax impact of net interest. The tax impact of net interest is computed by multiplying net interest by the effective tax rate. Management uses EBI, net of taxes, to measure our results exclusive of the impact of financing costs. |
| (4) | EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to net cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Certain material covenants contained within our credit agreement are based on EBITDA with certain additional adjustments, including our interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio, which we must comply with to avoid potential immediate repayment of amounts borrowed or additional fees to seek relief from our lenders. In addition, management considers EBITDA a useful measure because it provides MYR Group Inc. and its investors with an additional tool to compare MYR Group Inc. operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes to not directly reflect the company’s core operations. Management further believes that EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of MYR Group Inc. financial statements in evaluating the company’s operating performance and cash flow because EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, useful lives placed on assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. |
| (5) | EBITDA per diluted share is calculated by dividing EBITDA by the weighted average number of diluted shares attributable to MYR Group Inc. outstanding for the period. EBITDA per diluted share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share. |
| (6) | Free cash flow, which is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities minus cash flow used in purchasing property and equipment, is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income attributable to MYR Group Inc., cash flow from operations or the change in cash on the balance sheet. Management views free cash flow as a measure of operational performance, liquidity and financial health. |
| (7) | Book value per period end share is calculated by dividing total stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. at the end of the period by the period end shares outstanding. |
| (8) | Tangible book value is calculated by subtracting goodwill and intangible assets at the end of the period from stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. at the end of the period. Tangible book value is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to book value or stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. |
| (9) | Tangible book value per period end share is calculated by dividing tangible book value at the end of the period by the period end number of shares outstanding. Tangible book value per period end share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share. |
| (10) | The funded debt to equity ratio is calculated by dividing total funded debt at the end of the period by total stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. at the end of the period. |
| (11) | Asset turnover is calculated by dividing the current period revenue by total assets at the beginning of the period. |
| (12) | Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. for the period by total assets at the beginning of the period. |
| (13) | Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. for the period by total stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. at the beginning of the period. |
| (14) | Period end shares is calculated by adding average common stock equivalents for the quarter to the period end balance of common shares outstanding. Period end shares is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to diluted shares. Management views period end shares as a better measure of shares outstanding as of the end of the period. |
| (15) | Invested capital is calculated by adding net funded debt (total funded debt less cash and marketable securities) to total stockholders’ equity attributable to MYR Group Inc. |
| (16) | Return on invested capital is calculated by dividing EBI, net of taxes, less any dividends, by invested capital at the beginning of the period. Return on invested capital is not recognized under GAAP, and is a key metric used by management to determine our executive compensation. |
