Hill International Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Financial Results

Marlton, NJ — March 12, 2015 — Hill International (NYSE:HIL), the global leader in managing construction risk, announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014 (see attached tables).

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 was a record $169.1 million, an increase of 16.7% from the fourth quarter of 2013.  Consulting fee revenue for the fourth quarter was a record $148.7 million, an increase of 13.6% from the prior year’s fourth quarter.

EBITDA (as defined below) for the fourth quarter was $5.7 million, down 38.3% from the fourth quarter of 2013.  Operating profit for the fourth quarter was $3.3 million, a 52.2% decline from the prior year’s fourth quarter.  Net loss for the fourth quarter was ($3.5 million), or ($0.07) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($1.3 million), or ($0.03) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2013.  The net loss in the fourth quarter of 2014 was negatively impacted by higher bad debt expense and higher income tax expense partially offset by lower interest expense.

The company’s total backlog at December 31, 2014 was a record $1.080 billion, up 0.7% from September 30, 2014.  Twelve-month backlog at December 31, 2014 was also a record at $470 million, a 2.8% increase from September 30, 2014.

“We had another strong quarter with record backlog driving record revenues, but we continue to be challenged in converting that growth into better profitability,” said David L. Richter, Hill’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Our focus in 2015 will be on more aggressively managing our overhead costs so we can deliver higher and more consistent profitability going forward,” added Richter.

Full Year 2014 Results

Total revenue for 2014 was a record $640.3 million, an increase of 11.0% from 2013.  Consulting fee revenue for 2014 was a record $575.8 million, an increase of 12.4% over the prior year.

EBITDA for 2014 was $37.8 million, an 8.4% decrease from 2013.  Operating profit for 2014 was $29.3 million, a 9.8% decrease from a year earlier.  Net loss for 2014 was ($10.9 million), or ($0.25) per diluted share, compared to net earnings of $1.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, during 2013.

The net loss in 2014 was primarily caused by one-time expenses of $10.8 million in connection with the company’s debt refinancing which closed in September 2014.

2015 Guidance

Based on current market conditions and the backlog amounts described above, the company estimates that consulting fee revenue in 2015 will be between $650 million and $675 million.  This guidance reflects approximately 13% to 17% growth in consulting fee revenue for the year.

EBITDA Reconciliation

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $5.7 million compared to $9.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013.  EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  Management believes EBITDA, in addition to operating profit, net income and other GAAP measures, is a useful indicator of Hill’s financial and operating performance and its ability to generate cash flows from operations that are available for taxes and capital expenditures.  Investors should recognize that EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies.  This measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.  A reconciliation of EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure in accordance with SEC Regulation S-K follows:
