“We continued to bring new, higher-margin work into all service lines in the second quarter, which has resulted in our gross margins increasing to 47% from 45%, EBITDA increasing to 14% of Net Revenues, and a 12% increase in our backlog,” said Dickerson Wright, PE, Chairman and CEO of NV5. “The transformation of our natural gas pipeline business from a lower-margin staffing business to a higher-margin consulting business remains an ongoing process. We also experienced a delay in the start dates of our New Jersey Department of Transportation projects in the second quarter due to a legislative impasse regarding an increase in the gasoline tax. We expect these projects to get underway in Q3.”

Total Revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were $57.1 million, a 63% increase from the second quarter of 2015. Total Revenues includes intercompany revenues where the Company performed the services in lieu of using a third-party sub-consultant.

Net Revenues for the second quarter of 2016 was $44.4 million, an increase of 60% from the second quarter of 2015.

Gross Margin for the second quarter 2016 was 47% compared to 45% for the second quarter of 2015, which is the result of increased use of our billable professional employees and reduced use of sub-consultants to perform services.

EBITDA for the second quarter of 2016 was $6.0 million or 14% of Net Revenues, an increase of 71% up from $3.5 million or 13% of Net Revenues for the second quarter of last year.

Adjusted EPS for the second quarter of 2016 was $0.38 per diluted share vs. $0.31 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2015. Net income for the second quarter of 2016 was $2.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, up from net income of $1.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2015.

GAAP EPS and Adjusted EPS reflect weighted-average shares outstanding of 9,172,944 for the second quarter of 2016, compared to weighted-average shares outstanding of 6,838,725 for the second quarter of 2015.

At June 30, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents were $51.1 million compared to $23.5 million as of December 31, 2015. The increase in cash was due to $47.2 million in net cash proceeds from our secondary equity offering in May 2016 offset by $24.1 million used for acquisitions in 2016. During the first six months of 2016, we generated $6.7 million of cash from operating activities, compared to cash from operating activities of $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

At June 30, 2016, the Company reported backlog of $195.5 million, an increase of 12% from $174.4 million as of March 31, 2016.

2016 Outlook

The Company is raising its guidance for full-year 2016 for Total Revenues and Earnings. The Company expects full-year 2016 Total Revenues, including the impact of acquisitions closed through June 30, 2016, to range from $230 million to $250 million, which represents an increase of 48% to 60% from 2015 Total Revenues of $155.9 million. The Company further expects that full-year 2016 Adjusted EPS will range from $1.57 to $1.70 per diluted share. Furthermore, the Company expects that full-year 2016 GAAP EPS will range from $1.29 to $1.40 per diluted share. This guidance for Total Revenues, Adjusted EPS and GAAP EPS excludes anticipated acquisitions for the remainder of 2016. Both Adjusted EPS and GAAP EPS reflects the issuance of 1,955,000 shares of our common stock during May 2016.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Total Revenues and Net Revenues is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Gross Revenues – GAAP include sub-consultant costs and other direct costs which are generally pass-through costs. Furthermore, Gross Revenues – GAAP eliminates intercompany revenues where the Company performed the service in lieu of using a third-party sub-consultant. Therefore, the Company believes that Total Revenues and Net Revenues, which are non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in our industry, provides a meaningful perspective on its business results. A reconciliation of gross revenues as reported in accordance with GAAP to Total Revenues and Net Revenues is provided at the end of this news release.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Management believes EBITDA, in addition to operating profit, net income and other GAAP measures, is a useful indicator of NV5’s financial and operating performance and its ability to generate cash flows from operations that are available for taxes, capital expenditures and debt service. A reconciliation of net income as reported in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA is provided at the end of this news release.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share data (“Adjusted EPS”) is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EPS reflects adjustments to reported diluted earnings per share (“GAAP EPS”) data to eliminate amortization expense of intangible assets from acquisitions. As the Company continues its acquisition strategy, the growth in Adjusted EPS will likely increase at a greater rate than GAAP EPS as reported in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP EPS as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EPS provided at the end of this news release.

NV5’s definition of Total Revenues, Net Revenues, EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as contract revenues, net income and diluted earnings per share
