Bowman Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Reston, Va., August 7, 2023 (BUSINESS WIRE) – Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: BWMN) (“Bowman” or the “Company”), a national engineering and infrastructure services firm supporting owners and developers of the built environment, today released financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

“We continue to execute on our strategic growth and revenue diversification plans,” said Gary Bowman, Chairman and CEO of Bowman. “We generated record revenue and adjusted EBITDA during a quarter where we closed on five acquisitions representing approximately $36 million of annualized revenue. Our orders were strong, and our backlog increased by nearly $90 million as compared to last year. During the second quarter we increased headcount by 17%, with the majority coming through acquisitions, where we believe there is a meaningful amount of utilization optimization to be achieved over time through both revenue synergies and work sharing. We continue to feel confident about our execution and performance as reflected by our increased financial guidance.”
