Dividend
The Company also announced that on August 3, 2022, its Board of Directors declared a $0.06 per share cash dividend to stockholders of record on September 30, 2022, payable on October 14, 2022.
The Company has paid consecutive quarterly cash dividends since 2008, and currently expects that comparable cash dividends will continue to be paid for the foreseeable future. The declaration and payment of future dividends is contingent upon the Company’s revenue and earnings, capital requirements, and general financial conditions, as well as contractual restrictions and other considerations deemed to be relevant by the Board of Directors.
Share Purchase Program
In November 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $25.0 million share purchase program. In February 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors replenished the limit to $25.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company purchased and cancelled 148,000 shares of common stock, which in the aggregate equaled $3.4 million at an average share price of $22.77. As of June 30, 2022, we had $21.6 million remaining for purchase under the share purchase program. The share purchase plan expires on December 31, 2022.

Non-GAAP Measures
This press release contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Primoris uses earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS as important supplemental measures of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes these measures enable investors, analysts, and management to evaluate Primoris’ performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. In addition, management believes these measures are useful in comparing the Company’s operating results with those of its competitors. The non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Primoris’ method of calculating these measures may be different from methods used by other companies, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies that do not use the same methodology as Primoris. Please see the accompanying tables to this press release for reconciliations of the following non‐GAAP financial measures for Primoris’ current and historical results: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS.
