“Our progress is reflected in our third quarter financial results with 39% Adjusted EBITDA growth outpacing revenue growth resulting in 330 basis points of margin expansion, normalizing for the divestiture of steel components, with strong organic and inorganic growth in both Construction Products and Engineered Structures.
“Order levels during the quarter remained healthy for our utility structures business while conversations with our customers for additional wind tower orders are focused on delivery in 2026 and beyond. For barge, we received orders for both tank and hopper barges representing a book-to-bill of 0.9 and providing increased production visibility for 2025.
“Severe weather has been a recurring event, with two hurricanes in the quarter and a third in early October, impacting areas where we have operations. We are thankful our people are safe and our plants were not significantly impacted, although we did experience some production interruptions as a result.”
Carrillo continued, “We generated
2024 Outlook and Guidance
The Company made the following adjustments to its full year 2024 guidance to reflect the strategic portfolio actions:
-
Adjusted its consolidated revenues range to
$2.56 billion to$2.63 billion , compared to the prior guidance range of$2.60 billion to$2.72 billion . -
Increased its consolidated Adjusted EBITDA range to
$435 million to$450 million , compared to the prior guidance range of$420 million to$440 million .
Commenting on the outlook, Carrillo noted, “Adjusting for the steel components divestiture, our third quarter results tracked well to our expectations, delivering in-line Adjusted EBITDA and outperforming on margin. Our outlook for the remainder of the year remains very positive. We are pleased to increase our Adjusted EBITDA guidance to reflect the strategic actions we have taken to optimize our portfolio, specifically, the acquisition of Stavola completed at the beginning of October, with some offset from the divestiture of steel components in August.”
Third Quarter 2024 Results and Commentary
Construction Products
-
Revenues increased 1% to
$265.9 million primarily due to recent acquisitions. Organic revenues in our aggregates and specialty materials businesses were down slightly as lower volumes, a decrease in freight revenue, and a reduction in revenue from recently divested operations were partially offset by higher pricing. Revenues for our trench shoring business decreased 6% primarily due to lower steel prices and reduced volumes. -
Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 21% to
$71.0 million primarily due to the accretive impact of recent acquisitions, increased unit profitability in our legacy aggregates business and operating improvements in our specialty materials and shoring businesses. - Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin increased 430 basis points to 26.7% from 22.4% in the prior year period and Freight-Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin was 29.2% compared to 25.4% in the prior year period.
Engineered Structures
-
Revenues for utility, wind, and related structures increased 26% to
$279.4 million primarily due to higher volumes in our wind towers business and the contribution from the Ameron Pole Products ("Ameron") business that was acquired inApril 2024 . Revenues for utility structures increased slightly as higher volumes and improved product mix were mostly offset by lower steel prices. -
Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 74% to
$44.3 million , and margin expanded 450 basis points to 15.9%, resulting from higher wind tower volumes, the accretive impact of the acquired Ameron business, and operating improvements in our utility structures business. - Order activity for utility and related structures remains healthy and conversations with our customers for additional wind tower orders continue.
-
At the end of the third quarter, the combined backlog for utility, wind, and related structures was
$1,264.6 million compared to$1,450.8 million at the end of the third quarter of 2023. We expect to deliver approximately 20% of our current backlog in 2024.
Transportation Products
-
Results for the segment were impacted by the divestiture of the steel components business. Third quarter revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the steel components business were
$13.6 million and$(1.3) million , respectively, compared to$39.8 million and$6.3 million , respectively, in the prior year period. -
In addition, the Company recognized a pretax loss on the sale of
$23.0 million ($17.7 million after tax), which has been excluded from Adjusted Segment EBITDA. - Revenues for our barge business increased 21% primarily due to higher tank barge deliveries.
-
Excluding the impact of the divested steel components business from both periods, Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 8%, to
$12.9 million , driven by higher tank barge deliveries. - Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin was 15.8% compared to 17.7% in the prior period, excluding the steel components business. The decrease was largely due to planned operating inefficiencies resulting from the changeover from hopper to tank barge production in one of our facilities.
-
During the quarter, we received barge orders totaling approximately
$75 million for both tank and hopper barges representing a book-to-bill of 0.9. -
Backlog for inland barges at the end of the quarter was
$244.7 million compared to$240.4 at the end of the third quarter of 2023. We expect to deliver approximately 32% of our current backlog in 2024.
Corporate and Other Financial Notes
-
Excluding acquisition and divestiture-related costs, which have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, corporate expenses decreased to
$13.4 million in the third quarter from$14.2 million in the prior year. -
Acquisition and divestiture-related costs were
$11.6 million in the third quarter compared to$0.5 million in the prior year. - The effective tax rate in the second quarter was 13.1% compared to 17.4% in the prior year. The decrease in the tax rate was primarily due to increased Advanced Manufacturing Production tax credits and foreign currency impacts.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
-
Operating cash flow was
$135.0 million during the third quarter, an increase of$91.1 million compared to the prior year driven by a reduction in working capital. -
Working capital was a
$50.0 million net source of cash for the quarter compared to the prior year's$29.4 million net use of cash. The increase in cash provided by working capital was driven by a decrease in receivables and an increase in accrued liabilities. -
Capital expenditures in the third quarter were
$34.4 million , compared to$47.9 million in the prior year, as we near completion on organic projects underway in Construction Products and Engineered Structures. -
Free Cash Flow for the quarter was
$107.2 million , up significantly from$1.7 million in the prior year. -
During the quarter, we invested
$34.7 million , net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of aPhoenix, Arizona based natural aggregates business. -
The Company received net cash proceeds of
$53.1 million from the divestiture of the steel components business, which was used to fund repayments on the Company's revolving credit facility totaling$60 million during the quarter. -
On
August 26, 2024 , we issued$600.0 million of 6.875% unsecured senior notes, temporarily increasing cash, net of issuance costs, for the quarter, to partially fund the$1.2 billion acquisition of Stavola. The balance of the purchase price was funded with a$700.0 million variable-rate senior secured Term Loan B Facility that closed concurrently with the acquisition onOctober 1, 2024 . -
We ended the quarter with total liquidity of
$516.1 million , including$156.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding the net proceeds from the senior note issuance. - Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 1.2x for the trailing twelve months. Pro forma Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the acquisition of Stavola is 3.4x.

“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. |

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. |

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. |
