SYLMAR, Calif. November 1, 2012 -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE: TPC) (the “Company”), a leading civil and building construction company, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Third Quarter and Nine Month Results

Revenues from construction operations were $1.10 billion for the third quarter of 2012 compared to $1.17 billion for the third quarter of 2011, a decrease of 6%. Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $42.6 million compared to $35.5 million for the third quarter of 2011. Diluted earnings per share were $0.88 for the third quarter of 2012 compared with $0.74 for the third quarter of 2011. Excluding a $16.8 million tax benefit related to the goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge which the Company recognized in the second quarter of 2012, net income and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2012 were $25.8 million and $0.54, respectively. Net income and diluted earnings per share excluding the after-tax impairment charge and certain other discrete items are non-GAAP measures defined elsewhere in this press release and are reconciled to GAAP measures in the financial tables attached hereto.
 
Revenues from construction operations decreased in the third quarter compared to the same quarter last year primarily due to the substantial completion of several large public works and hospitality and gaming projects in 2011. Excluding the $16.8 million tax benefit on the impairment charge, the decrease in net income in the third quarter was primarily due to the decline in volume discussed above as well as the favorable performance and successful close out of several specialty subcontracts in 2011. This decrease was partially offset by increases in the estimated recoveries on certain large hospitality and gaming, healthcare, and condominium projects based on changes in facts and circumstances surrounding those projects that occurred during the period.
 
Revenues from construction operations were $3.0 billion for the first nine months of 2012 compared to $2.6 billion for the first nine months of 2011, an increase of 15%. Including the after-tax impairment charge of $339.2 million, discrete tax expense adjustments of $3.6 million related to stock-based compensation and an after-tax loss on the sale of certain auction rate securities of $1.6 million, the Company recorded a net loss of $307.0 million, or $6.47 diluted loss per share, for the first nine months of 2012 compared to net income of $62.1 million, or $1.30 diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2011. Excluding the impairment charge and other discrete items noted above, net income and diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2012 were $37.4 million and $0.78, respectively.
 
 
 

 
 
Revenue from construction operations increased for the first nine months of 2012 primarily due to contributions from prior-year acquisitions, partially offset by the substantial completions of several large public works and hospitality and gaming projects in 2011. Excluding the discrete items discussed above, the decrease in net income for the first nine months of 2012 was due to several factors, including the decline in volume discussed above, under-absorption of sustained general and administrative expenses as the Company awaited the start-up of several large pending projects, the favorable close out of certain projects in 2011, and an unfavorable change in the new work margin mix. This decrease was partially offset by contributions from prior-year acquisitions.
 
At September 30, 2012, working capital was $639 million, an increase of $81.9 million from $556.8 million at December 31, 2011. The Company believes its financial position and credit arrangements are sufficient to support the Company’s current backlog and anticipated new work.
 
Backlog at $5.6 Billion
 
The backlog of uncompleted construction work at September 30, 2012 was $5.6 billion, a decrease of $0.3 billion from the backlog reported at June 30, 2012 and a decrease of $0.5 billion from $6.1 billion reported at December 31, 2011. Revenues earned during the third quarter more than offset the new awards and adjustments to contracts in process, which together added $0.8 billion. Additions to new work during the third quarter of 2012 included a $181 million hospitality and gaming project in California, a $73 million educational facility in New York, and a $63 million stadium renovation project in Mississippi.

Outlook

Despite ongoing economic and political conditions which have delayed the timing of awards and start of new work opportunities, the Company’s third quarter results were in line with its expectations and the Company is maintaining its outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2012. As a result, the Company is affirming its guidance for fiscal 2012 revenues of $4.0 to $4.5 billion and diluted earnings per share, excluding the impairment charge and discrete items, of $1.50 to $1.70.
 
Ronald Tutor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am pleased with our results for the third quarter. Favorable legal developments, improved claims positions, and efficiencies realized on certain healthcare facility projects helped produce good results in our Building business, which is on-track to return to growth and consistent profitability by the first quarter of next year. We look forward to winning our share of the large-scale civil projects we have recently bid, which will fuel our growth over the next several years.”

Non-GAAP Measurements

To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we sometimes use non-GAAP measures of income from operations, net income, earnings per share and other measures that we believe are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our historical financial performance and future prospects. The Company is providing these measures to provide additional information to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, and they are among the indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating its financial performance as well as for forecasting future periods. For these reasons, management believes these non-GAAP measures can be useful operating performance measures to be considered by investors, potential investors and others. These measures are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A table reconciling reported income/loss from construction operations, net income/loss, and diluted earnings/loss per share under GAAP to income from operations, net income and diluted earnings per share in 2012, excluding discrete items, is attached. Included in discrete items are the impacts of: (i) the $339.2 million after-tax impairment charge, (ii) $3.6 million of discrete tax expense items related to an increase in unrecognized tax benefits and an adjustment, both associated with certain stock-based compensation items identified during the first quarter of 2012, and (iii) a $1.6 million after-tax realized loss on the sale of auction rate securities in the first quarter of 2012.
