DENVER, March 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: BBCP) (the “Company” or “CPH”), a leading provider of concrete pumping and waste management services in the U.S. and U.K., reported financial results for the first quarter ended January 31, 2024.

Total available liquidity was $217.0 million as of January 31, 2024, compared to $216.7 million as of October 31, 2023. Management Commentary
“In our first quarter, continued double-digit growth in our Concrete Waste Management Services and U.K. operations segments was roughly offset by severe winter weather that impacted our U.S. market,” said CPH CEO Bruce Young. “Specifically, heavy rainfall, snow and freezing temperatures in the month of January brought many of our customers' projects to a standstill. In fact, we estimate such weather events lowered the expected volume of our U.S. concrete pumping work by approximately 25% in January, or about $7.0 million. Work has recently returned to more normalized levels in February, and we are working closely with our customers to accommodate accelerated project schedules.
“Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about our prospects for continued growth in 2024, led by increasing infrastructure activity and added light commercial and residential projects. Underlying this expectation of growth will be the benefits we receive from our diversified end markets, the high utilization of our fleet and the mission-critical service we offer.”

1 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt and leverage ratio are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a discussion of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release and a reconciliation to their most comparable GAAP measures.First Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results
Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 increased 4% to $97.7 million compared to $93.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. The increase was attributable to strong growth from the Company's Concrete Waste Management Services and U.K. operations segments that was partially offset by a decrease in volumes in U.S. Concrete Pumping due to extreme winter weather events in the month of January.
Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 decreased 9% to $33.3 million compared to $36.5 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin was 34.1% compared to 39.0% in the prior year quarter, primarily related to lower equipment and labor utilization as a result of the extreme winter weather, in addition to inflationary increases in insurance costs.
General and administrative expenses in the first quarter were $31.9 million compared to $27.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to (1) a non-recurring charge of $3.5 million as a result of a state sales tax dispute as discussed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, and (2) higher labor, health insurance and rent costs. As a percentage of revenue, G&A costs were 32.7% in the first quarter compared to 28.9% in the prior year quarter.
Net loss in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $3.8 million compared to net income of $6.5 million in the prior year quarter. Net loss attributable to common shareholders in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $4.3 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $6.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 decreased 23.0% to $19.3 million compared to $25.0 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 19.7% compared to 26.8% in the prior year quarter. Both declines were primarily driven by the aforementioned impacts from extreme weather conditions, as well as inflationary increases related to insurance and increased costs related to labor.
Liquidity
On January 31, 2024, the Company had debt outstanding of $388.0 million, net debt of $373.3 million and total available liquidity of $217.0 million.
Segment Results
U.S. Concrete Pumping. Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased 0.8% to $66.7 million compared to $67.2 million in the prior year quarter. Severe winter temperatures and freezing rainfall in the month of January stalled many customer projects, driving a revenue decline of approximately $7.0 million from the loss of volume. Net loss in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $6.8 million compared to a net loss of $0.8 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $10.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 compared to $16.8 million in the prior year quarter, largely driven by the revenue shortfall and downstream impacts on labor utilization.
U.K. Operations. Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 increased 21.2% to $15.4 million compared to $12.7 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact from foreign currency translation, revenue was up 16% year-over-year. The increase was primarily attributable to pricing improvements. Net income in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 improved to $0.5 million compared to a net loss of $0.1 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, up 32.8% compared to $2.4 million in the prior year quarter due to rate per hour and fuel price improvements.
U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services. Revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 increased 14.2% to $15.6 million compared to $13.7 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by strong organic growth and pricing improvements, notwithstanding the Q1 growth rate being hampered by unseasonably harsh January winter weather. Net income in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $2.4 million compared to $2.8 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $5.4 million compared to $5.8 million in the prior year quarter due to the downstream winter weather impact on labor utilization.
Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook
Due to the weather impacted year-to-date start in fiscal 2024, the Company has revised its outlook and now expects fiscal year 2024 revenue to range between $460.0 million to $480.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA to range between $122.0 million to $130.0 million. The Company maintains its original outlook for free cash flow2 to be at least $75.0 million.
2 Free cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less net replacement capital expenditures less cash paid for interest.
Share Repurchase Program
In March 2024, CPH's board of directors approved a $15.0 million increase to the Company’s share repurchase program. This authorization will expire on March 31, 2025 and is in addition to the repurchase authorization of up to $10.0 million through March 31, 2025, that was previously approved in January 2023.
During the first three months of fiscal year 2024, the Company repurchased 36,094 shares for a total of $0.2 million at an average share price of $6.88 per share. Including the new authorization of $15.0 million under the March 2024 approval, a total of $23.2 million would have been available for purchase under the Company's repurchase program as of January 31, 2024.
"Today's announcement reflects our commitment to driving shareholder value," said Bruce Young. "Our disciplined approach to capital allocation, strong free cash flow and consistent operational execution have allowed us to support the growth of our businesses while delivering expected shareholder returns and creating long-term value."

Forward‐Looking Statements
This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s actual results may differ from expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “outlook” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s expectations with respect to future performance, including the Company's fiscal year 2024 outlook. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the adverse impact of recent inflationary pressures, global economic conditions and developments related to these conditions, such as fluctuations in fuel costs on our business; the outcome of any legal proceedings or demand letters that may be instituted against or sent to the Company or its subsidiaries; the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; the ability to complete targeted acquisitions and to realize the expected benefits from completed acquisitions; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release presents Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt and free cash flow, all of which are important financial measures for the Company, but are not financial measures defined by GAAP.
EBITDA is calculated by taking GAAP net income and adding back interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking EBITDA and adding back transaction expenses, loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation, changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, other income, net, goodwill and intangibles impairment and other adjustments. Transaction expenses represent expenses for legal, accounting, and other professionals that were engaged in the completion of various acquisitions. Transaction expenses can be volatile as they are primarily driven by the size of a specific acquisition. As such, the Company excludes these amounts from Adjusted EBITDA for comparability across periods. Other adjustments include the adjustments for warrant liabilities revaluation, non-recurring expenses and non-cash currency gains/losses.
The Company believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends related to our financial condition and results of operations, and as a supplemental tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with competitors who also present similar non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, these measures (1) are used in quarterly and annual financial reports and presentations prepared for management, our board of directors and investors, and (2) help management to determine incentive compensation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain cash expenses that the Company is obligated to make. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently or may not calculate it at all, which limits the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as comparative measures. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue for the period presented. See below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Net debt is calculated as all amounts outstanding under debt agreements (currently this includes the Company’s term loan and revolving line of credit balances, excluding any offsets for capitalized deferred financing costs) measured in accordance with GAAP less cash. Cash is subtracted from the GAAP measure because it could be used to reduce the Company’s debt obligations. A limitation associated with using net debt is that it subtracts cash and therefore may imply that there is less Company debt than the most comparable GAAP measure indicates. CPH believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors in order to monitor the Company’s leverage and evaluate the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. See “Non-GAAP Measures (Reconciliation of Net Debt)” below for a reconciliation of Net Debt to amounts outstanding under debt agreements calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters. The Company believes its leverage ratio measures its ability to service its debt and its ability to make capital expenditures. Additionally, the leverage ratio is a standard measurement used by investors to gauge the creditworthiness of an institution.
Free cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less net replacement capital expenditures and cash paid for interest. This measure is not a substitute for cash flow from operations and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since certain non-discretionary expenditures, such as debt servicing payments, are not deducted from the measure. CPH believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors in order to monitor and evaluate the cash flow yield of the business.
The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and net debt to the applicable most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. However, the Company has not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance range and free cash flow range included in this press release to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the lack of predictability regarding the various reconciling items such as provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization.
Current and prospective investors should review the Company’s audited annual and unaudited interim financial statements, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA, net debt and free cash flow differently and therefore these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
