Commenting on 2020 performance, Antonio Carrillo, President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, “During one of the most challenging business periods in recent history, our 2020 results demonstrate the resilience of our company and the strength of our culture. Our teams did an outstanding job prioritizing the health and safety of our employees and communities, while continuing to provide critical infrastructure products for our customers.
“We achieved 18% Adjusted EBITDA growth, generated $178 million of free cash flow, and maintained a healthy balance sheet in a challenging macroeconomic environment.
“Our Construction Products segment was a key driver of our strong 2020 financial results. The segment reported 35% revenue growth and 50% Adjusted EBITDA growth, driven by the Cherry acquisition and improved margins across the segment. Our outlook for these businesses remains favorable, and we expect to continue to deploy capital to strengthen our current market positions and expand our geographic footprint.
“In 2020, we also strategically expanded our product lines in Engineered Structures to include telecom, traffic, and concrete structures. We are integrating these acquisitions and expect to replicate these platforms in other regions.
“I am very pleased with the progress we have made in positioning Arcosa around more stable infrastructure products since we became an independent company in 2018. Our portfolio is less cyclical than it was three years ago, and we are well-positioned to maintain our momentum even when our Transportation Products businesses are in downturns. Although our guidance range is below 2020’s performance due to the COVID-related downturn in our barge business, the outlook for our key growth businesses in Construction Products and Engineered Structures remains positive.”
Carrillo concluded, “I want to thank all our employees for their dedication under difficult circumstances. The way we have executed in the last year makes me proud to lead such a high performing and resilient company. I am excited about our prospects for the future, and the organic and acquisition growth opportunities we have ahead of us.”
2021 Outlook and Guidance
Based on our current portfolio of businesses, the Company expects full year 2021 revenues of $1.78 billion to $1.90 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA of $250 million to $270 million.
Looking ahead into 2021, we are optimistic on the underlying health of most of our markets, and our key growth businesses in Construction Products and Engineered Structures are positioned well for organic and acquisition growth.
•Construction activity remains robust, particularly in key states like Texas, and could see additional upside from new state and federal infrastructure spending. We continue to see healthy activity in infrastructure and residential markets, while non-residential markets have performed better than expected, led by increased demand for distribution and data centers.
•Our Engineered Structures product lines continue to experience healthy demand led by increased spending on electrical transmission, telecom, and traffic infrastructure, although we expect lower production for wind towers in 2021.
| 972.942.6500 | 2 | arcosa.com | ||||||
The largest year-over-year challenge in 2021 will be in our Transportation Products segment, as the barge business continues to be impacted by the effects of COVID-19. As a result, we expect the segment to generate Adjusted EBITDA in the $35-40 million range in 2021, down from $78 million in 2020. We remain confident in the medium and long-term fundamentals of these businesses once short-term macroeconomic conditions improve.
•Dry barge demand is fundamentally strong, and a recovering agricultural economy drove our barge business to a 1.0 book-to-bill in Q4 2020. However, dry barge orders have recently been deferred by the rapid acceleration in steel prices since December 2020, driven by steel capacity that was idled during COVID.
•Liquid barge demand remains depressed by reduced demand for refined products and petrochemicals, which began declining during the COVID pandemic and has not recovered to pre-pandemic levels. We are optimistic about a recovery, but that is unlikely to occur in time for 2021 production.
•Demand in rail components has stabilized, but 2021 is expected to be a lower year for new railcar deliveries in North America than 2020. Industry analysts expect a recovery in new railcar deliveries in the second half of 2021 and into 2022.
The February 2021 winter storm in Texas and the broader Southern United States will impact our Q1 performance, as we lost more than one week of production across a significant part of our operating footprint. As of the date of this release, we have restored operations in most of our facilities but may experience continuing impacts in our supply chain, particularly for steel mill production that was impacted by the storm.
We expect Corporate expenses of approximately $13-14 million per quarter in 2021, excluding potential non-recurring expenses. Additionally, we expect 2021 capital expenditures of $100-110 million, consisting of maintenance capital of approximately $80 million and growth capital of $20-30 million.
Fourth Quarter 2020 Results and Commentary
Construction Products
•Revenues increased 46% to $149.1 million in the fourth quarter, led by higher volumes in our legacy natural aggregates business in North and Central Texas, as well as the Cherry and Strata acquisitions.
•Fourth quarter Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 73% to $31.0 million, representing a 20.8% margin compared to a 17.5% margin a year ago. The 330 basis-point increase in margin was primarily due to volume and operating improvements in our legacy business, the contributions of Cherry and Strata, and lower fuel costs.
•The Cherry acquisition continued to perform well, driven by healthy demand across natural and recycled aggregates in the Houston area.
•In our natural aggregates business, we experienced strong volumes in Texas from healthy residential and highway demand as well as newly acquired locations. We experienced continued weakness from plants serving oil and gas markets.
•Revenues were also higher in our specialty materials businesses as demand conditions continued to improve from mid-2020 COVID-19 related lows.
•Our trench shoring business stabilized during the fourth quarter, with roughly flat profitability compared to the prior year despite lower revenues.

Engineered Structures * The Company has renamed the segment formerly called Energy Equipment Group to "Engineered Structures" to more accurately reflect the product portfolio within the segment
•Fourth quarter revenues were down 2% year-over-year to $209.1 million, driven primarily by lower volumes in storage tanks and wind towers. Volumes were higher for utility structures and supported by the addition of the traffic and telecom structures product lines acquired during 2020.
•Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased 16% to $23.3 million, representing an 11.1% margin compared to a 13.0% margin a year ago. The year-over-year decrease in EBITDA and margin was primarily due to the temporary idling of a wind tower facility for retooling to make larger towers, operational challenges in our utility structures business related to COVID-19, and the ramp-up of a new utility structures facility.
•Inquiry levels for utility structures, wind towers, and the newly acquired product lines remained healthy, driven by robust spending in transmission, renewable energy, telecom, and traffic markets. We are encouraged by recent inquiry activity in wind towers that would add to our backlog for 2021 and 2022 production.
•The combined backlog for utility, wind, and related structures decreased to $334.0 million from $429.3 million at the end of the third quarter.
Transportation Products
•Fourth quarter revenues were $100.6 million, down 24% year-over-year. Barge revenues decreased 18% driven by lower tank barge deliveries. Rail Components revenues declined 44% year-over-year, as the new railcar market remained depressed.
•We incurred a non-cash impairment charge of $4.5 million related to unusable non-operating assets from a barge manufacturing asset acquisition in 2018. This impairment was added back to Adjusted EBITDA.
•Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased 17% year-over-year to $15.8 million, representing a 15.7% margin compared to a 14.4% margin a year ago. Segment margins increased due to improved profitability in the barge backlog and strong operational performance that more than offset weakness in the components business.
•The barge business received orders of approximately $81 million in the quarter, for a book-to-bill of 1.0. The bulk of these orders were for dry barges. The barge backlog was $175.5 million, compared to $177.5 million at the end of the third quarter.
•We have reduced our capacity in all three barge operating plants to align with lower production levels in 2021, while remaining flexible to allow time for fundamentals to recover. We are evaluating additional cost reduction alternatives and if demand does not improve in the near term, we will take additional actions to reduce our cost structure.
•In our rail components business, we have also reduced our capacity and lowered our cost structure until market conditions improve.
Corporate
•Corporate expenses increased $4.0 million to $16.5 million in the fourth quarter, primarily due to $1.6 million of acquisition-related transaction and integration costs from the Company's 2020 acquisitions.
| 972.942.6500 | 4 | arcosa.com | ||||||
Cash Flow and Liquidity
•During the fourth quarter, operating cash flow was $33.2 million and free cash flow was $8.0 million.
•For the full year, operating cash flow was $259.9 million and free cash flow was $177.8 million, or approximately 167% of net income.
•We invested $25.2 million in capital expenditures during the quarter, for a full year total of $82.1 million.
•We also invested $94.0 million in two complementary acquisitions during the quarter, including the $87.0 million acquisition of Strata and the $7.0 million acquisition of an additional traffic structures business with operations in Florida.
•We returned approximately $6.5 million to shareholders during the fourth quarter, through $2.5 million in dividends and $4.0 million in share repurchases. In December 2020 our board authorized a new $50 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022.
•We ended the quarter with total liquidity of $467.2 million, including $95.8 million of cash, and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA of 0.5X for the trailing twelve months.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income
($ in millions)
(unaudited)
“EBITDA” is defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization. We adjust EBITDA for certain items that are not reflective of the normal earnings of our business (“Adjusted EBITDA”). 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.

GAAP does not define “Adjusted Net Income” and it should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including net income. We use this metric to assess the operating performance of our consolidated business. We adjust net income for certain items that are not reflective of the normal operations of our business to provide investors with what we believe is a more consistent comparison of earnings performance from period to period.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Segment EBITDA
($ in millions)
(unaudited)
“Segment EBITDA” is defined as segment operating profit plus depreciation, depletion, and amortization. We adjust Segment EBITDA for certain items that are not reflective of the normal earnings of our business (“Adjusted Segment EBITDA”). GAAP does not define Segment EBITDA or Adjusted Segment EBITDA and they should not be considered as alternatives to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including segment operating profit. We use Adjusted Segment EBITDA to assess the operating performance of our businesses, as a metric for incentive-based compensation, 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 Segment 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 Segment EBITDA Margin" is defined as Adjusted Segment EBITDA divided by Revenues.
