Commenting on the first quarter results, Antonio Carrillo, President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, “Driven by strong contributions from each of our businesses, Arcosa generated record results in the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased more than 45 percent, reflecting continued positive momentum in our growth businesses as well as solid execution and improving market dynamics in our cyclical businesses.

“Construction Products led our performance in the quarter, with Adjusted Segment EBITDA expanding by 85 percent. Strong pricing momentum contributed to healthy organic revenue growth and solid unit profitability gains, overcoming volume headwinds in our natural aggregates business. As anticipated, we completed the sale of depleted land in North Texas generating a $22 million gain in the quarter that will help fund replacement reserves. Excluding the gain, Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins expanded 360 basis points year-over-year.”

Carrillo continued, “We are optimistic about the market recovery underway in our cyclical businesses. As previously announced, we received approximately $800 million in new wind tower orders during the quarter. Since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, we have received wind tower orders in excess of $1.1 billion that extend into 2028. While we continue to anticipate 2023 will be a transition year for our wind towers business as the industry supply chain ramps up, and we incur start-up expenses for our recently announced New Mexico facility, the stage is set for a multi-year recovery in 2024 and beyond.

“We are also encouraged by the $122 million of orders we received in our barge business, which represented a book to bill of 1.8 in the first quarter. Now at its highest level in three years, our backlog extends into 2024. Although elevated steel prices remain a demand headwind, we have been successful in converting inquires to new orders when we are able to source steel at competitive prices.

“Our balance sheet and liquidity position are solid, and we continue to make progress on strategic capital allocation to advance our long-term growth. During the quarter, we invested $14 million in two small bolt-on acquisitions in Construction Products and $44 million in capital expenditures, largely to fund organic projects. We remain committed to disciplined investment, aligned with increasing our return on capital.”

2023 Outlook and Guidance

The Company made the following adjustments to its full year 2023 guidance:

• Increased its revenue guidance range to $2.2 billion to $2.3 billion, from its prior range of $2.15 billion to $2.25 billion.
• Increased its Adjusted EBITDA guidance range to $345 million to $370 million, from its prior guidance range of $310 million to $340 million.
• Included in the revised Adjusted EBITDA guidance range is the anticipated net benefit from the Advanced Manufacturing Production ("AMP") tax credits provided for in the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) for full year 2023 of approximately $17 million to $22 million for wind towers produced and sold during the year. We recognized a net benefit from the AMP tax credits of $3.2 million in the first quarter.
• Certain provisions of the IRA, including the AMP tax credits for wind towers, remain subject to the issuance of additional guidance and clarification. Since the credit is fully refundable regardless of an entity’s tax position, the Company has accrued for the tax credit as a reduction in cost of revenues.

Commenting on the outlook, Carrillo concluded, “Despite macroeconomic headwinds, Arcosa continues to generate strong financial performance, underscoring the resilience of our businesses and the unwavering dedication of our team. Looking forward, Arcosa remains well-positioned to execute on the numerous expansion opportunities we see across our portfolio, particularly in light of improving market fundamentals that point to a multi-year upcycle for our cyclical businesses. We will continue to manage our business with focus and discipline to drive growth and build long-term shareholder value.”

First Quarter 2023 Results and Commentary

Construction Products

• Revenues increased 12% to $236.1 million primarily due to strong organic pricing across our businesses, which more than offset overall volume declines.
• Volumes for natural aggregates declined due to the deceleration of new single-family residential construction activity and from adverse weather in certain markets.
• Inflationary cost pressures related to higher diesel, cement, and process fuels increased cost of revenues by approximately $5 million, or 3%.
• Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 85% to $76.4 million, partially due to a $21.8 million anticipated gain recognized on the disposition of land with depleted reserves.
• Excluding the gain, Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 32.2% driven by improved unit profitability from year-over-year pricing momentum.
• Excluding the gain, Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin increased to 23.1% compared to 19.5% in the prior period and Freight-Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin increased to 26.5% compared to 22.8% in the prior period.

Engineered Structures

• Results for the segment were impacted by the divestiture of our storage tanks business. First quarter 2022 revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the storage tanks business were $59.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively.
• The Company recognized an additional gain on sale of $6.4 million ($4.5 million after tax) from the divestiture during the first quarter, which has been excluded from Adjusted Segment EBITDA, primarily related to the settlement of certain contingencies from the sale. The Company has recognized a total pre-tax gain on the sale of the storage tanks business of $195.4 million.
• Revenues for utility, wind, and related structures increased 9% driven by higher volumes in our utility structures business.
• Excluding the impact of the storage tanks business, Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 24% to $30.1 million, and margins increased 180 basis points to 14.5%.
• The increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins primarily resulted from higher volumes in our utility structures business and the recognition of net AMP tax credits of $3.2 million in our wind towers business.
• Order activity was strong during the quarter. In wind towers, we received orders of approximately $800 million during the quarter for delivery in 2024 through 2028. In addition, grid hardening and reliability efforts contributed to robust order activity in utility structures.
• At the end of the first quarter, the combined backlog for utility, wind, and related structures was $1,531.4 million compared to $421.0 million at the end of the first quarter of 2022.

Transportation Products

• Revenues were $105.4 million, up 43%. Barge revenues increased 45% and steel components revenues increased 39%, both driven by higher deliveries.
• Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased $7.5 million, or 114%, to $14.1 million, representing a 13.4% margin compared to 8.9% in the prior period. The increase was driven by operating leverage associated with higher volumes.
• During the quarter, we received orders of approximately $122 million in our barge business, representing a book-to-bill of 1.8. These orders are primarily for hopper barges and extend our backlog into 2024.
• Barge backlog at the end of the quarter was $279.0 million compared to $150.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2022. We expect to deliver approximately 68% of our current backlog in 2023.

Corporate and Other Financial Notes

• Excluding acquisition and divestiture-related costs, which have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, corporate expenses were $13.8 million in the first quarter compared to $12.1 million in the prior year.
• The increase in corporate expenses was primarily driven by higher compensation costs.
• Acquisition and divestiture-related costs were $0.6 million in the first quarter compared to $0.9 million in the prior year.
• The effective tax rate for the first quarter was 20.3% compared to 24.1% in the prior year. The decrease in the tax rate was primarily due to AMP tax credits for our wind tower business, which are excluded from taxable income, and lower foreign taxes, partially offset by higher state taxes.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

• Operating cash flow was $27.3 million during the first quarter, an increase of $2.8 million year-over-year.
• Working capital was a $55.4 million use of cash for the quarter compared to the prior year's $38.1 million use of cash. The increase was primarily due to lower payables year-over-year due to the timing of strategic steel purchases.
• Capital expenditures in the first quarter were $44.4 million, up from $25.9 million in the prior year, as progress continued on organic projects underway in Construction Products and Engineered Structures, including the purchase of property for our New Mexico wind tower facility which is expected to begin production in mid-2024. Free Cash Flow for the quarter was $6.8 million, down from $19.2 million in the prior year.
• We ended the quarter with total liquidity of $623.9 million, including $149.2 million of cash, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 1.1X for the trailing twelve months.

GAAP does not define “Adjusted Net Income” and it should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including net income. We use this metric to assess the operating performance of our consolidated business. We adjust net income for certain items that are not reflective of the normal operations of our business to provide investors with what we believe is a more consistent comparison of earnings performance from period to period.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA

($ in millions)

(unaudited)

 

“EBITDA” is defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain items that are not reflective of the normal earnings of our business. GAAP does not define EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA and they should not be considered as alternatives to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including net income. We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess the operating performance of our consolidated business, as a metric for incentive-based compensation, as a measure within our lending arrangements, and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting as we believe that it closely correlates to long-term shareholder value. As a widely used metric by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry, we believe Adjusted EBITDA also assists investors in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation, depletion, amortization, and other items which can vary significantly depending on many factors. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenues.

“Segment EBITDA” is defined as segment operating profit plus depreciation, depletion, and amortization. “Adjusted Segment EBITDA” is defined as Segment EBITDA adjusted for certain items that are not reflective of the normal earnings of our business. GAAP does not define Segment EBITDA or Adjusted Segment EBITDA and they should not be considered as alternatives to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including segment operating profit.

Reconciliation of Freight-Adjusted Revenues for Construction Products

($ in millions)

(unaudited) 

 

“Freight-Adjusted Revenues” for Construction Products is defined as segment revenues less freight and delivery, which are pass-through activities. GAAP does not define Freight-Adjusted Revenues and they should not be considered as alternatives to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including revenues. We use Freight-Adjusted Revenues in the review of our operating results. We also believe that this presentation is consistent with our competitors. As a widely used metric by analysts and investors, this metric assists in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis. “Freight-Adjusted Segment Margin” is defined as Freight-Adjusted Revenues” divided by Adjusted Segment EBITDA.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

($ in millions)

(unaudited)

 

GAAP does not define “Free Cash Flow” and it should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow measures defined by GAAP, including cash flow from operating activities. We define Free Cash Flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures net of the proceeds from the disposition of property, plant, equipment, and other assets. The Company also uses “Free Cash Flow Conversion”, which we define as Free Cash Flow divided by net income. We use these metrics to assess the liquidity of our consolidated business. We present these metrics for the convenience of investors who use such metrics in their analysis and for shareholders who need to understand the metrics we use to assess performance and monitor our cash and liquidity positions.

GAAP does not define “Net Debt” and it should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow or liquidity measures defined by GAAP. The Company uses Net Debt, which it defines as total debt minus cash and cash equivalents to determine the extent to which the Company’s outstanding debt obligations would be satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand. The Company also uses “Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA”, which it defines as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months as a metric of its current leverage position. We present this metric for the convenience of investors who use such metrics in their analysis and for shareholders who need to understand the metrics we use to assess performance and monitor our cash and liquidity positions.
