Strong operating cash flow of $72.6 million in Q3 2022 compared to usage of $21.3 million in Q3 2021
Record year-to-date operating cash flow of $251.3 million, the largest nine-month result since the merger between Tutor-Saliba Corporation and Perini Corporation in 2008
Sustained backlog of $8.4 billion provides good revenue visibility; two previously announced new projects with pending contract awards could add more than $4.5 billion to backlog over next several months

Tutor Perini Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE:TPC), a leading civil, building and specialty construction company, reported results today for the third quarter of 2022. Revenue was $1.1 billion compared to $1.2 billion for the third quarter of last year. The decrease was primarily due to reduced project execution activities on various projects in all three segments. Loss from construction operations for the third quarter of 2022 was $6.9 million, compared to income from construction operations of $52.1 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was largely due to reduced project execution activities on a transportation project in the Northeast that is nearing completion, which impacted all three segments, as well as unfavorable adjustments that resulted from two adverse legal rulings, one of which reversed a previously favorable lower-court ruling. As a result, net loss attributable to the Company for the third quarter of 2022 was $32.5 million, or a $0.63 loss per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to the Company of $15.4 million, or $0.30 of earnings per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021.

The Company generated $72.6 million and $251.3 million of cash from operating activities in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared to usage of $21.3 million and $152.6 million for the same periods of 2021. The result for the third quarter of 2022 was one of the largest operating cash results of any third quarter since the 2008 merger between Tutor-Saliba Corporation and Perini Corporation, and was an increase of $93.9 million compared to the operating cash usage of $21.3 million in the third quarter of 2021. The Company anticipates continued operating cash generation for the fourth quarter of 2022, as well as strong operating cash generation in 2023.

Backlog was $8.4 billion as of September 30, 2022, level compared to the same period last year. The most significant new awards and contract adjustments in the third quarter of 2022 included $142 million of additional funding for two educational facility projects in California; a $126 million military facilities project in Puerto Rico; $56 million of additional funding for a mass-transit project in the Midwest; a $48 million mining project in Virginia; and a $32 million hospitality project in California. The Company has recently bid and is preparing to bid various large projects, with awards anticipated later this year and next year. In addition, the Company recently announced two significant new projects — the Raritan River Bridge Replacement project in New Jersey and Phase 1 South of the New American Legion Bridge I-270 Traffic Relief Plan in Maryland — with contract awards pending over the next three to six months of a combined value that could exceed $4.5 billion. The Company also expects that substantial incremental federal funding to be provided under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law) over the next several years will favorably impact the Company's current work and prospective opportunities.

Outlook and Guidance

"We generated strong operating cash in the third quarter of 2022, setting a new record operating cash result for the first nine months of any year since 2008, and expect that operating cash will be continue to be solid for the rest of this year and in 2023," said Ronald Tutor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Tutor continued, "Our backlog remains healthy at $8.4 billion, and we look forward to adding several significant new contract awards over the coming months, which should position our backlog at a new all-time high and provide a strong foundation for growth and improved profitability over the next several years. Our civil business, from which we derive the majority of our profit, is highly resilient to economic downturns, and our bidding pipeline continues to be very robust and is expected to further expand as substantial incremental funds from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law flow to our customers to support many existing and future projects. Although we were disappointed with our third-quarter earnings, we remain encouraged by the progress we are continuing to make in resolving disputed matters and collecting significant amounts of associated cash."

Due to the uncertainty regarding the outcome of ongoing negotiations on various disputes, which could have a positive or negative impact on fourth-quarter financial results, the Company is continuing with its decision to not provide guidance for 2022. Regardless of the outcome of any potential settlements this year, the Company still expects a net loss for 2022. The Company currently anticipates providing EPS guidance for 2023 when it issues its fourth-quarter results in February of next year.

Debt reduction remains the Company's primary near-term focus for its use of cash. In accordance with the requirements of its debt agreements, on or before April 7, 2023, the Company currently expects to make an excess cash paydown of approximately $100 million on the outstanding balance of its Term Loan B. Depending on conditions after the Term Loan B paydown is completed, and in light of various factors, including the Company's record operating cash generation to date in 2022, solid cash generation that is expected to continue throughout next year, the Company's current and expected larger future backlog, and substantial anticipated funding over the next several years from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Company may then consider additional capital optimization strategies.

(a)		During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company's income (loss) from construction operations was adversely impacted by $36.0 million ($26.0 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, after tax) due to unfavorable adjustments related to the unforeseen cost of project close-out issues, remediation work, extended project supervision and associated labor inefficiencies on the electrical component of a transportation project in the Northeast in the Specialty Contractors segment, and $34.6 million ($27.3 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, after tax) for a Civil segment mass-transit project in California, which resulted from the successful negotiation of significant lower margin (and lower risk) change orders that increased the project's overall estimated profit but reduced the project's percentage of completion and overall margin percentage. The Company's income (loss) from construction operations was also impacted by a non-cash charge of $25.5 million ($18.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, after tax) due to an adverse legal ruling on a dispute related to a completed Civil segment bridge project in New York, an $18.0 million ($13.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, after tax) unfavorable adjustment split evenly between the Civil and Building segments due to changes in estimates on the same transportation project in the Northeast mentioned above, a non-cash charge of $17.8 million ($12.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, after tax) that increased cost of operations associated with the partial reversal by an appellate court of previously awarded legal damages related to a completed electrical project in New York in the Specialty Contractors segment, a $16.2 million ($11.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, after tax) unfavorable non-cash impact related to the settlement of a long-disputed, completed Civil segment project in Maryland, a $14.3 million ($10.2 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, after tax) unfavorable adjustment on a completed Civil segment highway project in the Northeast due to the reversal on appeal of a previously favorable lower-court ruling, and $13.1 million ($9.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, after tax) of unfavorable adjustments on a Civil segment mass-transit project in California.
(b)		Consists primarily of corporate general and administrative expenses.
(c)		Depreciation and amortization is included in income (loss) from construction operations.
(d)		During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a reduction of $20.1 million in cost of operations ($14.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, after tax) due to a favorable trial court ruling awarding the Company the recovery of certain costs previously incurred on a completed electrical project in New York in the Specialty Contractors segment. The Company also recognized $18.1 million of additional revenue ($13.0 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, after tax) as a result of favorable adjustments on a Civil segment mass-transit project in California reflecting improved profitability due to the mitigation of certain risks as the project progresses toward completion. The Company's income from construction operations was also negatively impacted by $14.5 million ($10.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, after-tax) due to changes in estimates on an electrical project in New York in the Specialty Contractors segment that included unfavorable adjustments and the negative impact to the period associated with increases to project forecasts due to growth in unapproved change orders (expected to be negotiated in future periods).
