("MYR or the "Company") (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 second-quarter and first-half 2026 financial results.

Highlights for Second Quarter 2026

Management Comments

Rick Swartz, MYR’s President and CEO, said, "Our strong second quarter performance drove record quarterly revenues of $1.08 billion, while backlog reached $3.16 billion at quarter-end. These results reflect the continued strength of our core markets, ongoing investment in electrical infrastructure, and sustained customer demand across our business. The acquisition of Valley Electric and Comet Electric, which closed on July 1, further enhances our C&I capabilities and expands our geographic footprint, allowing us to deliver a broader range of solutions to both existing and new customers. We continue to see a healthy pipeline of quality bidding opportunities and remain focused on pursuing strategic growth opportunities while strengthening the long-standing relationships that are central to our success. With strong market fundamentals, a growing portfolio of capabilities, and a disciplined approach to project selection and execution, we believe we are well positioned to deliver continued growth and create long-term value for our shareholders."

Second Quarter Results

MYR reported second-quarter 2026 revenues of $1.08 billion, an increase of $181.4 million, compared to the second quarter of 2025. Specifically, our Transmission and Distribution ("T&D") segment reported quarterly revenues of $524.0 million, an increase of $17.7 million, from the second quarter of 2025, due to increases in revenue on T&E contracts and unit price contracts, partially offset by a decrease in revenue on fixed price contracts. Our Commercial and Industrial ("C&I") segment reported record quarterly revenues of $557.7 million, an increase of $163.6 million, from the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to an increase in revenue on fixed priced contracts.

Consolidated gross profit increased to $142.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $103.7 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in gross profit was due to higher margin and revenues. Gross margin increased to 13.2 percent for the second quarter of 2026 from 11.5 percent for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to significant changes in our estimated gross profit on certain projects, related to better-than-anticipated productivity, favorable job close outs and an increase in scope on certain projects. These margin increases were partially offset by an increase in costs associated with project inefficiencies on certain projects. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in a net gross margin increase of 0.9 percent for the second quarter of 2026, compared to a net gross margin decrease of 1.0 percent for the second quarter of 2025.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased to $74.4 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $63.3 million for the second quarter of 2025. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to an increase in employee incentive compensation costs and an increase in employee-related expenses to support future growth.

Interest income increased to $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2026. Interest income was not significant for the second quarter of 2025. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to higher average balances held in money market accounts in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the second quarter of 2025.

Interest expense decreased to $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2025. The period-over-period decrease was primarily due to lower average outstanding debt balances during the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the second quarter of 2025.

Income tax expense was $17.3 million for the second quarter of 2026, with an effective tax rate of 25.7 percent, compared to an income tax expense of $10.9 million for the second quarter of 2025, with an effective tax rate of 29.2 percent. The period-over-period change in tax rate was primarily due to a favorable impact from stock compensation excess tax benefits, partially offset by the impact of the net CFC tested income ("NCTI") and other permanent difference items.

For the second quarter of 2026, net income was $49.9 million, or $3.17 per diluted share, compared to $26.5 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, for the same period of 2025. Second-quarter 2026 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $85.0 million, compared to $55.6 million in the second quarter of 2025.

First-Half Results

MYR reported first-half 2026 revenues of $2.08 billion, an increase of $348.2 million, compared to the first half of 2025. Specifically, our T&D segment reported revenues of $1.06 billion, an increase of $97.0 million, from the first half of 2025, due to increases in revenue on unit price contracts and T&E contracts, partially offset by a decrease in revenue on fixed price contracts. Our C&I segment reported revenues of $1.02 billion, an increase of $251.2 million, from the first half of 2025, primarily due to an increase in revenue on fixed priced contracts.

Consolidated gross profit increased to $277.1 million in the first half of 2026, compared to $200.6 million in the first half of 2025. The increase in gross profit was due to higher margin and revenues. Gross margin increased to 13.3 percent for the first half of 2026 from 11.6 percent for the first half of 2025. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to significant changes in our estimated gross profit on certain projects, related to better-than-anticipated productivity, an increase in scope on certain projects and favorable job close outs. These margin increases were partially offset by an increase in costs associated with project inefficiencies on certain projects. Gross margin was also positively impacted during the first half of 2026, by a larger portion of our projects progressing at higher contractual margins, some of which are nearing or are at completion. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in a net gross margin increase of 0.7 percent for the first half of 2026, compared to a net gross margin decrease of 1.2 percent for the first half of 2025.

SG&A increased to $143.8 million in the first half of 2026, compared to $125.8 million for the first half of 2025. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to an increase in employee incentive compensation costs and an increase in employee-related expenses to support future growth.

Interest income increased to $1.8 million in the first half of 2026, compared to $0.2 million for the first half of 2025. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to higher average balances held in money market accounts in the first half of 2026 as compared to the first half of 2025.

Interest expense decreased to $1.4 million in the first half of 2026, compared to $3.3 million for the first half of 2025. The period-over-period decrease was primarily due to lower average outstanding debt balances and lower interest rates during the first half of 2026 as compared to the first half of 2025.

Income tax expense was $34.5 million for the first half of 2026, with an effective tax rate of 26.3 percent, compared to income tax expense of $20.4 million for the first half of 2025, with an effective tax rate of 29.1 percent. The period-over-period change in tax rate was primarily due to a favorable impact from stock compensation excess tax benefits, partially offset by the impact of NCTI and other permanent difference items.

For the first half of 2026, net income was $96.7 million, or $6.15 per diluted share, compared to $49.8 million, or $3.15 per diluted share, for the same period of 2025.

Backlog

As of June 30, 2026, MYR's backlog was $3.16 billion, which was an increase of $518.4 million, or 19.6 percent, from the $2.64 billion reported as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, T&D backlog was $1.27 billion and C&I backlog was $1.89 billion.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2026, MYR had $460.5 million of borrowing availability under its $490 million revolving credit facility and $137.9 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To 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)	Last-twelve-months earnings per share is the sum of earnings per share reported in the last four quarters.
(2)	Last-twelve-months weighted average basic and diluted shares were determined by adding the weighted average shares reported for the last four quarters and dividing by four.
(3)	Funded debt includes outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and our outstanding equipment notes.
(4)	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.
(5)	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 our 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 our 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.
(6)	EBITDA per diluted share is calculated by dividing EBITDA by the weighted average number of diluted shares 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.
(7)	EBIA, net of taxes is defined as net income plus net interest plus amortization of intangible assets, less the tax impact of net interest and amortization of intangible assets. The tax impact of net interest and amortization of intangible assets is computed by multiplying net interest and amortization of intangible assets by the effective tax rate. Management uses EBIA, net of taxes, to measure our results exclusive of the impact of financing and amortization of intangible assets costs.
(8)	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, 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.
(9)	Book value per period end share is calculated by dividing total shareholders’ equity at the end of the period by the period end shares outstanding.
(10)	Tangible book value is calculated by subtracting goodwill and intangible assets outstanding at the end of the period from shareholders’ equity. Tangible book value is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to book value or shareholders’ equity.
(11)	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.
(12)	The funded debt to equity ratio is calculated by dividing total funded debt at the end of the period by total shareholders’ equity at the end of the period.
(13)	Asset turnover is calculated by dividing the current period revenue by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(14)	Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(15)	Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income for the period by total shareholders’ equity at the beginning of the period.
(16)	Return on invested capital is calculated by dividing EBIA, net of taxes, less any dividends, by average invested capital. Return on invested capital is not recognized under GAAP, and is a key metric used by management to determine our executive compensation.
(17)	Period end shares is calculated by adding average common stock equivalents for the quarter to the period end balance of common stock 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.
(18)	Average invested capital is calculated by adding net funded debt (total funded debt less cash and marketable securities) to total shareholders’ equity and calculating the average of the beginning and ending of each period.
