'Primoris had another great quarter to start 2025, delivering solid execution on our strategy to expand margins and increase cash flow generation,' said David King, Chairman and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Primoris. 'We remain focused on serving the needs of our customers through safe, reliable and quality performance and I want to thank our employees for their efforts in achieving these goals in the first quarter.'
'Despite uncertainty in the current regulatory and economic environments, the fundamentals of our end markets remain strong. We continue to see elevated levels of demand for our infrastructure services, particularly in meeting the utility and power generation needs of North America. We believe the need to support increased electrification of industry, further investments in manufacturing and the construction of facilities to support emerging technologies provides significant opportunities for Primoris in the years ahead.'
'While we continue to monitor conditions and engage with customers on potential impacts to their plans, we continue to have a robust backlog and broad range of opportunities to win new business throughout the year,' he added. 'Overall, we are confident in our ability to meet our full year 2025 goals and adapt to further changes in the macroeconomic or regulatory landscape.'
First Quarter 2025 Results Overview
Revenue was $1,648.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $235.4 million, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was due to growth in both our Energy and Utilities segments. Operating income was $70.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $26.1 million compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue and improved margins in the Utilities segment. Operating income as a percentage of revenue increased to 4.3 percent from 3.1 percent for the same period in 2024, primarily driven by improved margins in our Utilities segment.
This press release includes Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these measures enable investors, analysts, and management to evaluate Primoris' performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. In addition, management believes these measures are useful in comparing the Company's operating results with those of its competitors. Please refer to 'Non-GAAP Measures' and Schedules 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the definitions and reconciliations of the Company's Non-GAAP financial measures, including 'Adjusted Net Income,' 'Adjusted EPS' and 'Adjusted EBITDA'.
During the first quarter of 2025, net income was $44.2 million compared to $18.9 million in the prior year. Adjusted Net Income was $53.5 million for the first quarter, compared to $25.8 million for the same period in 2024. Diluted earnings per share ('EPS') was $0.81 for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $0.35 for the same period in 2024.

Utilities Segment ('Utilities'): Revenue increased by $75.5 million, or 15.5 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased activity in our power delivery, communications, and gas operations markets. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by $17.9 million compared to the same period in 2024 due to revenue growth and improved gross margins. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 9.2 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 6.0 percent for the same period in 2024, primarily due to strong performance in our power delivery market.
Energy Segment ('Energy'): Revenue increased by $160.7 million, or 17.0 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased renewable energy activity. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by $12.3 million, or 18.4 percent compared to the same period in 2024, due to strong revenue growth. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 10.7 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 11.0 percent in the same period in 2024.
Other Income Statement Information
Selling, general and administrative ('SG&A') expenses were $99.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $10.9 million, or 12.3 percent, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased people costs to support revenue growth and severance costs associated with the separation agreement entered into with our former Chief Executive Officer ('CEO'). SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue declined to 6.0 percent in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 6.3 percent in the first quarter of 2024.
Interest expense, net for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was $7.8 million compared to $18.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $10.2 million was due to lower average debt balances and lower average interest rates.
The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, of 29.0 percent differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible components of per diem expenses. We recorded income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of $18.1 million compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The $10.4 million increase in income tax expense is primarily driven by a $35.6 million increase in pretax income.
Outlook
The Company is maintaining its estimates for the year ending December 31, 2025. Net income is expected to be between $203.3 million and $214.3 million. Earnings per Share ('EPS') is expected to be between $3.70 and $3.90 per fully diluted share. Adjusted EPS is estimated in the range of $4.20 to $4.40, and Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025 is expected to range from $440 to $460 million.
The Company is targeting SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue to be approximately six percent for the full year 2025. The Company's targeted gross margins by segment are as follows: Utilities in the range of 9 to 11 percent; Energy in the range of 10 to 12 percent. The Company expects its effective tax rate for 2025 to be similar to 2024 at approximately 29 percent, but it may vary depending on the mix of states in which the Company operates.
Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to 'Non-GAAP Measures' and Schedules below for the definitions and reconciliations. The guidance provided above constitutes forward-looking statements, which are based on current economic conditions and estimates, and the Company does not include other potential impacts, such as changes in accounting or unusual items. Supplemental information relating to the Company's financial outlook is posted in the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at www.prim.com.
At March 31, 2025, total Fixed Backlog was $5.5 billion, a decrease of $0.6 billion, or 9.1 percent compared to $6.1 billion at December 31, 2024. Total MSA Backlog was $5.8 billion, up slightly compared to December 31, 2024. Total Backlog as of March 31, 2025, was $11.4 billion, including Utilities backlog of $5.6 billion and Energy backlog of $5.8 billion.
Backlog, including estimated MSA revenue, should not be considered a comprehensive indicator of future revenue. Revenue from certain projects where scope, and therefore contract value, is not adequately defined, is not included in Fixed Backlog. At any time, any project may be cancelled at the convenience of the Company's customers.
Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation
At March 31, 2025, the Company had $351.6 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents compared to $177.6 million at March 31, 2024. In the first quarter of 2025, capital expenditures were $40.6 million, including $21.7 million in construction equipment purchases. The Company estimates capital expenditures for the remaining nine months of 2025 to total between $50.0 million and $70.0 million, which includes $40.0 million to $60.0 million for equipment.
The Company announced that on April 30, 2025, its Board of Directors declared a $0.08 per share cash dividend to stockholders of record on June 30, 2025, payable on approximately July 15, 2025. The Company also announced that on April 30, 2025, its Board of Directors authorized a share purchase program under which Primoris may, from time to time and depending on market conditions, share price and other factors, acquire shares of its common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions up to an aggregate purchase price of $150 million. The share purchase program expires on April 30, 2028.

Non-GAAP Measures
This press release contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ('GAAP'). Primoris uses earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ('EBITDA'), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS as important supplemental measures of the Company's operating performance. The Company believes these measures enable investors, analysts, and management to evaluate Primoris' performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. In addition, management believes these measures are useful in comparing the Company's operating results with those of its competitors. The non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Primoris' method of calculating these measures may be different from methods used by other companies, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies that do not use the same methodology as Primoris. Please see the accompanying tables to this press release for reconciliations of the following non‐GAAP financial measures for Primoris' current and historical results: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS
(In Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)
(Unaudited)
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS
Primoris defines Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) adjusted for certain items including, (i) non‐cash stock‐based compensation expense; (ii) transaction/integration and related costs; (iii) asset impairment charges; (iv) changes in fair value of the Company's interest rate swap; (v) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; (vi) amortization of intangible assets; (vii) amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs; (viii) losses on extinguishment of debt; (ix) severance and restructuring changes; (x) selected (gains) charges that are unusual or non-recurring; and (xi) impact of changes in statutory tax rates. The Company defines Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Management believes these adjustments are helpful for comparing the Company's operating performance with prior periods. Because Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, as defined, exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and diluted earnings per share, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measures, net income and diluted earnings per share, and information reconciling the GAAP and non‐GAAP financial measures, are included in the table below.

Adjustments above are reported on a pre-tax basis before the income tax impact of adjustments. The income tax impact for each adjustment is determined by calculating the tax impact of the adjustment on the Company's quarterly and annual effective tax rate, as applicable, unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Primoris defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain items including, (i) non‐cash stock‐based compensation expense; (ii) transaction/integration and related costs; (iii) asset impairment charges; (iv) severance and restructuring changes; (v) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; and (vi) selected (gains) charges that are unusual or non-recurring. The Company believes the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures assist in providing a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational measures to manage its business, to evaluate its performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non‐GAAP financial measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. These non‐GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, and information reconciling the GAAP and non‐GAAP financial measures are included in the table below.

Reddit Accelerates Innovation and Slashes Build Times with Buildkite
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Buildkite Pty Ltd., a leader in scalable software delivery solutions, today announced that Reddit, one of the world's largest online communities with more than over 400M weekly active users, has successfully migrated its mobile continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines to Buildkite, dramatically improving build performance, reliability, and developer autonomy across its mobile engineering organization. By adopting Buildkite's high-performance hosted agents and dynamic pipeline primitives, Reddit has reduced build queue times to just seconds and accelerated build speeds by 30% for both Android and iOS workflows, while maintaining cost efficiency. By adopting Buildkite's high-performance hosted agents and dynamic pipeline primitives, Reddit has reduced build queue times to just seconds and accelerated build speeds by 30% for both Android and iOS workflows, while maintaining cost efficiency. Share 'With Buildkite, we finally have the reliability and performance at scale that our mobile teams were missing,' said Ken Struys, Reddit's Director of Developer Experience. 'We've seen a significant improvement to the overall developer experience, and both Android and iOS CI are more than 30% faster on Buildkite.' Facing growing demands from millions of global users and a rapidly expanding codebase, Reddit's mobile teams had outgrown their previous CI/CD provider. Lack of ability to control the build environment meant they couldn't use custom Docker images (as they can with Buildkite). The team also struggled with configuration complexity, with 6,000 lines of YAML split across multiple files, in addition to unreliable builds due to environment drift and dependency failures. Reddit's migration to Buildkite, affecting over 200 mobile engineers, was completed ahead of schedule and involved a full transition of both Android and iOS mono repositories. The company leveraged Buildkite's composable pipeline primitives to create custom workflows that seamlessly integrated with Bazel and BuildBuddy, allowing both iOS and Android apps to be built efficiently on Linux runners with remote execution. Dynamic pipelines enabled Reddit to build powerful CI systems with less cruft and less code repetition. Comprehensive benchmarking revealed that Reddit's builds now run up to 30% faster, with job queue times consistently dropping to around five seconds. Buildkite's Git caching and container caching features were 'absolute game changers,' reducing Git checkout times from several minutes to 30-40 seconds. Intelligent build cancellation and log customization further improved developer experience and operational efficiency. The migration was conducted by a remarkably lean core team. 'We built most of the Android pipelines and the iOS pipelines with two people,' said Struys. 'You don't need massive engineering resources to use Buildkite, but the scale is tremendous. We've got 170 plus engineers on it now, and most of our builds are running like 12 to 15 jobs in each field now.' It was also executed with exceptional care through a staged approach, including having shadow builds running in parallel to production systems to ensure a zero-risk transition. Buildkite's team provided responsive support and delivered custom feature requests, including a GitHub App for GitHub Enterprise Server, throughout the process. "Reddit's successful migration exemplifies the transformative power of modern, composable CI/CD architecture," said Dan Ring, Vice President of Product at Buildkite, who worked closely with the company on the migration. "When engineering organizations outgrow traditional CI/CD limitations, they need a platform that can deliver both immediate performance gains and long-term scalability. Reddit's experience demonstrates what's possible when you combine Buildkite's high-performance hosted agents with our flexible, composable primitives. This isn't just about faster builds, it's about unleashing engineering teams to innovate at the speed their users demand." For more information, see Reddit's blog post here.

Mortgage Rates Drop to Lowest Level in 10 Months, Upping Purchasing Power in a Buyer-Friendly Market
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The daily average mortgage rate dropped to 6.57% on August 4, the lowest level in 10 months, according to a new report from Redfin, the real estate brokerage powered by Rocket. That means a homebuyer on a $3,000 monthly budget has gained roughly $20,000 in purchasing power since May, when the daily average rate hit a recent peak of 7.08%. A buyer on that budget can afford a $458,750 home with today's mortgage rate, compared to the $439,000 home they could have bought with May's peak. To look at affordability another way, the monthly mortgage payment on the median-priced U.S. home, which goes for roughly $447,000, is $2,862 with today's average rate. In mid-May, when rates were sitting above 7%, the monthly payment would have been $2,983, over $100 more. Mortgage rates fell over the weekend following a weaker-than-expected July jobs report. The U.S. added fewer jobs than anticipated, and the unemployment rate ticked up, which pushed up the chances of the Fed cutting interest rates in September. 'This dip in mortgage rates gives house hunters a window of opportunity to buy before summer ends,' said Daryl Fairweather, Redfin's chief economist. 'While housing costs are still fairly high, the recent decline in rates boosts purchasing power and improves overall homebuying conditions. Combined with the surplus of homes for sale on the market, serious buyers may want to jump in sooner rather than later.' House hunters should take note that there are hundreds of thousands more home sellers than buyers in the market, giving many prospective buyers an opportunity to negotiate home prices down and ask for concessions. But the gap between sellers and buyers is starting to shrink as new listings decline, with would-be sellers opting to stay put instead of listing their home in a buyer's market.

As part of Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT), Redfin is creating an integrated homeownership platform from search to close to make the dream of homeownership more affordable and accessible for everyone.

Snap, Duolingo, Udemy, Coursera, and Teladoc Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know
What Happened? A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after markets rebounded following a sharp sell-off in the previous trading session as a weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report fueled speculation that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in September. The July Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report revealed a significant slowdown in the labor market, with the economy adding only 73,000 jobs, well below the anticipated 110,000. Furthermore, data for May and June was revised downwards, indicating 250,000 fewer jobs were created than initially reported. This weaker economic data has led investors to increase their bets on a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of a rate cut in September has surged to over 80%. Lower interest rates are generally seen as a positive for growth-oriented stocks, as they can boost economic activity and increase the present value of future earnings, fueling broad-based rallies in sectors like technology. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Social Networking company Snap (NYSE:SNAP) jumped 3.5%. Is now the time to buy Snap? Access our full analysis report here, it's free.

Online Marketplace company Teladoc (NYSE:TDOC) jumped 3%. Is now the time to buy Teladoc? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. Zooming In On Snap (SNAP) Snap's shares are very volatile and have had 25 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 4 days ago when the stock gained 3.1% on the news that a broad rally in the technology sector, sparked by blockbuster earnings from giants Meta and Microsoft. The technology sector rallied after market giants Meta and Microsoft reported blowout quarterly results, signaling that their massive investments in artificial intelligence paid off. Both companies far exceeded Wall Street's expectations, with Meta's revenue jumping thanks to AI-fueled growth in its advertising business. The powerful results from these two behemoths created a wave of positive sentiment that lifted other internet and technology stocks, as investors anticipated continued growth and innovation in the AI space. Snap is down 16.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $9.38 per share, it is trading 27.1% below its 52-week high of $12.86 from December 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Snap's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $430.84. Unless you've been living under a rock, it should be obvious by now that generative AI is going to have a huge impact on how large corporations do business. While Nvidia and AMD are trading close to all-time highs, we prefer a lesser-known (but still profitable) semiconductor stock benefiting from the rise of AI.
