Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: BWMN) (“Bowman” or the “Company”), a national engineering and infrastructure services firm supporting owners and developers of the built environment, today released financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
“The first quarter delivered the revenue rebound we were expecting,” said Gary Bowman, Chairman and CEO of Bowman. “Net service billing increased consecutively each month during the quarter in line with our expectations. Demand for engineering services remains strong and we generated healthy new orders during the quarter, especially in transportation which showed a meaningful increase as a percentage of total backlog. With the bulk of our organic growth anticipated to occur during the balance of 2024, we are confident we have sufficient revenue in backlog and a right-sized organizational infrastructure to deliver expanding margins as we realize the increasing benefits of scale throughout the year. We are pleased to increase our net service billing and adjusted EBITDA guidance once again for 2024.”
“In early April we closed on an equity offering that included approximately $51 million of gross proceeds to the company,” continued Bowman. “Then, last week we closed on a new $100 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America and TD Bank and separately on an $11 million cash-out refinancing of recently acquired Surdex aviation assets. As a result of these efforts, we believe we are sufficiently capitalized to continue to grow and execute on our current high-frequency acquisition strategy.”
Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024, Compared to March 31, 2023:
Subsequent Events of Note:
Non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings per Share:
In connection with the release of financial results the Company reported the non-GAAP financial metric of adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”) as follows:
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to March 31, 2023:
To calculate Adjusted EPS, the Company adds back non-reoccurring expenses specific to acquisitions, non-cash stock compensation expense associated with pre-IPO grants, and other expenses not in the ordinary course of business. With respect to the elimination of any non-cash stock compensation expense, the Company computes an adjusted tax expense or benefit which accounts for the elimination of any periodic windfall or shortfall tax effects resulting from the difference between grant date fair value and vest date value. With respect to all other eliminations, the Company applies its average marginal statutory tax rate, currently 25.6%, to derive the tax adjustment associated with the elimination of these expenses. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EPS to GAAP EPS, both basic and diluted, is included with this press release for reference.
Updating FY 2024 Guidance
The Company is adjusting its full year 2024 outlook for net service billing2 to be in the range of $382 to $397 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 in the range of $63 to $69 million. The current outlook for 2024 is based on completed acquisitions as of the date of this release and does not include contributions from any future acquisitions. Management discusses the Company’s acquisition pipeline and its prospective impact during regularly scheduled earnings calls.
