We’re executing our client-centric strategy for greater efficiencies and focusing on growing markets where we have a leadership position. As a result, we’re winning renewals and capturing attractive new opportunities on pace to sustain profitable growth and long-term value for everyone we serve.” — Chairman and CEO Jacqueline C. Hinman The company earned $25 million in net income, or $0.74 per diluted common share, on $1.34 billion in revenue in the first quarter, Hinman noted that CH2M continued to perform at a higher level in the first quarter, which typically marks the low point of the firm’s fiscal year. Strong sales in on-trend markets increased contracted gross margin from new wins by 25 percent during the quarter. Gross revenue backlog of $9.7 billion at quarter-end rose from $8.0 billion a year ago, reducing the $10.3 billion in backlog at year-end as work moved to revenue. The company used $19.3 million in cash from operations during the quarter, compared with $41 million generated last year. Incentive compensation paid on 2015 performance in the first quarter of 2016 made the primary difference, since no incentive compensation was paid on 2014 results in the first quarter of 2015. 1 CH2M First Quarter 2016 Earnings Report Consolidated Income Statements CH2M and subsidiaries, unaudited (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) Gross revenue Three Months Ended March 25, 2016March 27, 2015 $1,343,408$1,263,986 Equity in earnings of joint ventures and affiliated companies9,053 11,350 Operating expenses: Direct cost of services (1,080,320)(1,002,449) Selling, general and administrative (231,275) (232,022) Operating income 40,866 40,865 Other income (expense): Interest income 60 41 Interest expense(3,267) (3,896) Income before provision for income taxes 37,659 37, 010 Provision for income taxes (13,935) (9,505) Net income23,72427,505 Less: loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests855 Net income attributable to CH2M$24,579 Net income attributable to CH2M per common share: Basic$0.74 Diluted$0.74 Weighted average number of common shares: (4,007) $ 23,498 $0.86 $0.86 Basic26,305,098 Diluted26,506,923 27,363,496 27,385,943
Business segments realigned CH2M simplified its business from five to four ongoing segments during the quarter to improve operating efficiencies and growth synergies among key clients and market sectors. As a result of this change, CH2M’s four business groups include: • Environment and Nuclear • Water • Transportation • Energy and Industrial The firm integrated its former, standalone Industrial and Urban Environments segment, aligning its urban and sports-related business with other municipal infrastructure services in the Water segment, while combining its industrial and advanced technology business with the previously named Oil, Gas and Chemicals segment to form the Energy and Industrial segment. CH2M will continue to report Power Engineer-Procure-Construct (EPC) results separately while continuing the process of exiting the fixed-price power EPC business. Prior-year revenue and income for the four segments has been revised for consistent comparison with the current-year presentation. Business segments: operating results CH2M’s Environment and Nuclear segment posted $503 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2016, up 40 percent from the prior year, while operating income grew five percent, to $18.2 million. The improvement primarily reflects the ramp-up of a major nuclear consulting joint-venture project commenced at the end of 2015. The Transportation segment posted first-quarter revenue of $246 million, up four percent, with operating income of $3.1 million, up $9.2 million from the prior year’s $6.1 million loss primarily associated with a fixed-price project. First-quarter revenue in the Energy and Industrial segment fell 20 percent to $241 million, and operating income declined to $0.5 million, reflecting the effects of reduced volumes, concessions and production suspensions in the oil and gas industry. Revenue in the Water segment declined 11 percent to $297 million in the quarter, as work neared completion for two facility projects in the U.S. and program management work in the Middle East. Economic challenges in Puerto Rico and reduced activity associated with oil and gas operations further hindered revenue, while operating income fell two percent to $19.8 million. Efficiencies from the firm’s 2014 restructuring plan, substantially completed in 2015, partially offset the operating income decline. The Power EPC business increased revenue to $56 million and recorded a first-quarter operating loss of $0.7 million due to an increase in construction activities on the completion of an existing fixed-price EPC project as we progress with the exit strategy for this business.
