Tutor Perini Reports Second-Quarter Results

· Revenue of $1.3 billion, up 21% compared to $1.1 billion in Q2 2014

· Backlog stable at $7.7 billion compared to $7.8 billion in Q2 2014

SYLMAR, California – (BUSINESS WIRE) – August 6, 2015 – Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE: TPC) (the “Company”), a leading civil and building construction company, today reported results for the second quarter of 2015.

Second-Quarter and Six-Month Results

Revenues were $1,312.4 million and $2,378.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $1,084.5 million and $2,039.7 million for the same periods in 2014. Income from construction operations was $30.9 million and $51.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $65.4 million and $106.9 million for the same periods in 2014. Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $11.8 million and $16.9 million compared to $28.5 million and $44.5 million for the same periods in 2014. Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) were both $0.24 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to basic and diluted EPS of $0.59 and $0.58 for the same period in 2014. Basic and diluted EPS were $0.35 and $0.34 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to basic and diluted EPS of $0.92 and $0.91 for the same period in 2014.

The most significant revenue drivers in the second quarter were increased activity in the New York area on the JFK runway reconstruction project, the MTA East Side Access CM006 project, the Hudson Yards platform, and various electrical and mechanical projects, as well as increased activity on various bridge projects in the Midwest, the Scarlet Pearl Casino Resort in Mississippi, two confidential technology building projects in California, and the San Diego Courthouse project also in California. Revenue this quarter was impacted by a further delay on the Alaskan Way Viaduct project in Seattle associated with tunnel boring machine repairs and a slow start to the California High-Speed Rail project.

Net income for the second quarter was negatively impacted by a significant loss on the Hudson Yards 52-story Tower C concrete project. This loss, which amounted to an $8.7 million reduction in net income and a corresponding $0.17 reduction in diluted EPS for the second quarter of 2015, was the first major loss for Tutor Perini on a fixed-price contract in the past 20 years. In addition, decreased activity this year on the Alaskan Way Viaduct project contributed to the decrease in net income. The loss was partially offset by positive contributions from the increased revenue drivers mentioned above, particularly the JFK runway project.

At June 30, 2015, working capital was $1,158.7 million, an increase of $44.7 million from $1,114.0 million at December 31, 2014. The Company believes its financial position and available borrowing under existing credit arrangements are sufficient to support the Company’s current backlog and anticipated new work.

Backlog Stable at $7.7 Billion

The backlog of uncompleted construction work at June 30, 2015 remained stable at $7.7 billion, a decrease of $0.1 billion from $7.8 billion reported at both June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2015. New awards and adjustments to contracts in process totaled approximately $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2015. Significant additions to backlog in the second quarter included $455 million of initial funding for a technology research and development facility project and $72 million of incremental funding for a biotechnology facility project, both in California, and three electrical projects totaling $97 million in New York.

Outlook and Guidance

“Our second-quarter results were highlighted by strong revenue growth and stable backlog which were balanced by lower-than-expected operating income largely due to the significant loss on the Hudson Yards Tower C concrete project,” remarked Ronald Tutor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Tutor continued, “Our strong revenue growth this quarter reflects a continued healthy end market environment. We expect improved performance later this year when tunneling work is anticipated to resume on the Alaskan Way Viaduct project and as our work increases on the California High-Speed Rail and other large projects. Furthermore, I remain confident in our long-term growth trajectory based on our strong backlog and level of pending awards.”

Based on the year-to-date results and the outlook for the remainder of the year, the Company is maintaining its fiscal 2015 guidance for revenue in the range of $5.0 billion to $5.5 billion. However, due to the loss on the Hudson Yards Tower C concrete project and delays on the Alaskan Way Viaduct project, the Company is reducing its fiscal 2015 diluted EPS guidance to a range of $1.90 to $2.10. In addition, the Company expects to favorably resolve certain settlements and legal proceedings by the end of this year, which may enable it to achieve the low end of its previous EPS guidance.
