Third Quarter 2018 Results

 

Investment Community Conference Call Today at 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time

 

 

ANAHEIM, Calif. – November 1, 2018 – Willdan Group, Inc. (“Willdan”) (NASDAQ: WLDN), a provider of professional technical and consulting services, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 28, 2018.

 

Third Quarter 2018 Highlights

 

·

Consolidated Contract Revenue of $71.4 million

·

Net Revenue of $34.5 million

·

Net Income of $3.3 million

·

Diluted earnings per share of $0.35, including Lime transaction costs

·

Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.52

·

Cash flow from operations of $7.5 million

 

For the third quarter of 2018, Willdan reported consolidated contract revenue of $71.4 million and net income of $3.3 million, or $0.35 per diluted share.  This compares with consolidated contract revenue of $69.0 million and net income of $2.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2017.  Third quarter 2018 results include $0.6 million of third party transaction costs associated with the future acquisition of Lime Energy. For the third quarter of 2018, Net Revenue, defined as revenue, net of subcontractor services and other direct costs (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below), was $34.5 million, up 9.0% compared to the same period in fiscal year 2017. The tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 was 33% versus the Company’s full-year 2018 guidance of 23%.

 

“We delivered another solid quarter, while generating strong cash flow from operations,” said Tom Brisbin, Willdan’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our new business pipeline continues to be at a record level, driven by growth opportunities in newer geographic markets and emerging areas of the energy efficiency services market such as microgrids and natural gas load pockets.”

 

“We anticipate completing our acquisition of Lime Energy in the fourth quarter, which will significantly expand and diversify our client base and geographic presence across the United States.  As a larger company, we believe we will be more competitive across the entire landscape of the energy efficiency services market and improve our positioning for anticipated upcoming program expansions in California and the Northeastern United States,” said Mr. Brisbin.

 

Third Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights

 

Consolidated contract revenue for the third quarter of 2018 was $71.4 million, an increase of 3.4% from $69.0 million for the third quarter of 2017.  Contract revenue for the Energy segment was $50.1 million for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 0.1%, which was primarily increases in revenue from Newcomb Anderson McCormick, Inc. (“NAM”), which was acquired on April 30, 2018 and an increase in data analytics revenue from our acquisition of Integral Analytics, Inc. (“Integral Analytics”), partially offset by a reduction in subcontracted pass-through revenue.  Contract revenue for the Engineering and Consulting segment was $21.3 million, an increase of 12.3% from the third quarter of 2017.

 

Net Revenue for the third quarter of 2018 was $34.5 million, an increase of 9.0% from $31.7 million for the third quarter of 2017.  The increase was primarily due to a ramp up in new programs within the Energy segment replacing high revenue and high pass-through cost projects with lower revenue and lower pass-through costs project, and an increase in data


 

 

 

analytics revenue.  Net Revenue in the Energy segment was $20.2 million for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 17.6% over the same period last year.  Net Revenue in the Engineering and Consulting segment was $14.4 million for the third quarter of 2018, a decrease of 1.2% over the same period last year.

 

Direct costs of contract revenue were $48.1 million for the third quarter of 2018, a decrease of 1.4%, from $48.7 million for the third quarter of 2017.  The decrease was primarily due to reduced pass-through subcontractor expenses related to certain Energy segment projects.

 

Total general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2018 was $18.4 million, an increase of 14.4% from $16.1 million for the third quarter of 2017, driven primarily by increased costs largely related to personnel added through the acquisitions of Integral Analytics and NAM and transaction costs associated with the future acquisition of Lime Energy, partially offset by a decrease in other general administrative expense due to better cost control and leveraging overhead costs. 

 

Income tax expense was $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $1.3 million for the prior year period.  The higher than expected tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 was attributable to adjustments in tax deductions related to Section 179D.

 

Net income for the third quarter of 2018 was $3.3 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $2.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2017.  The increase in net income was primarily driven by higher net revenue.

 

Adjusted EBITDA (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) was $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 3.6% from $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2017.

 

Adjusted Net Income (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) was $6.4 million for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 39.9% from $4.6 million for the third quarter of 2017.  The increase in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to higher net revenues, as compared to the third quarter of 2017.  Adjusted Diluted EPS (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the third quarter of 2018 was $0.56, an increase of 27.3% from $0.44 for the third quarter of 2017.

 

Nine Months 2018 Financial Highlights

 

Consolidated contract revenue for the nine months ended September 28, 2018 was $185.8 million, a decrease of 11.2% from $209.2 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2017.  Consolidated contract revenue for the Energy segment was $129.1 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, a decline of 16.1% from $153.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2017, primarily attributable to the reduction in pass-through subcontractor costs, for which the Company receives little or no margin.  Consolidated contract revenue for the Engineering and Consulting segment was $56.7 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, an increase of 2.5% from $55.3 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2017.

 

Net Revenue for the nine months ended September 28, 2018 was $99.4 million, an increase of 10.0% from $90.3 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2017.  The increase was primarily due to a ramp up in new programs within the Energy segment with lower pass-through costs replacing projects with higher pass-through costs and an increase in revenue from NAM and Integral Analytics. Net Revenue in the Energy segment was $56.7 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, an increase of 17.1% from $48.4 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2017.  Net Revenue in the Engineering and Consulting segment was $42.6 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, an increase of 1.8% from $41.9 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2017.

 

Direct costs of contract revenue were $119.8 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, a decrease of 21.4%, from $152.5 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2017.  The decrease was primarily due to reduced pass-through subcontractor expenses related to our Energy segment work.

Total general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 28, 2018 was $54.9 million, an increase of 19.4% from $46.0 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2017, driven primarily by an increase in salaries and wages and employee benefits and an increase in stock-based compensation.

 

Income tax expense was $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, compared to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2017.  For both nine month periods, the difference between the tax expense recorded and the expense that would be recorded by applying each year’s federal statutory rate was attributable to various tax deductions.

 

Net income for the nine months ended September 28, 2018 was $8.8 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $8.8 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 29, 2017. 

 

Adjusted EBITDA (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) was $18.8 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, an increase of 13.2% from $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2017.  Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Net Revenue, was 19.0 % for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, as compared with 18.4% for the nine months ended September 29, 2017.

 

Adjusted Net Income (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) was $16.0 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, an increase of 25.9% from $12.7 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2017.  The increase in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to an increase in Net Revenue, as compared to the nine months ended September 29, 2017.  Adjusted Diluted EPS (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) was $1.56 for the nine months ended September 28, 2018, an increase of 18.2% from $1.32 for the nine months ended September 29, 2017.

 

Balance Sheet

 

Willdan reported $16.7 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 28, 2018, as compared to $14.4 million at December 29, 2017.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to net cash provided by operating activities of $11.6 million, offset by net cash used in financing and investing activities of $5.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively.  The net cash used in financing activities was primarily payments of contingent consideration related to our prior acquisitions and repayments under our line of credit.

 

Outlook

 

Willdan is updating its financial targets for 2018 as a result of the follow-on equity offering and the pending transaction of Lime Energy.  Willdan anticipates that the Lime Energy transaction will close in the fourth quarter of 2018 and is thus including approximately one month of contribution to our 2018 forecasted results.  Willdan’s targeted Adjusted Diluted EPS adds back Lime Energy transaction costs, non-cash intangible amortization and non-cash stock compensation.  A reconciliation to GAAP is provided in a table below.

 

·

Net Revenue of $130 - $140 million

·

Adjusted Diluted EPS of $1.98 - $2.03

·

Effective tax rate of approximately 24%  

·

Diluted share count of 10.1 million shares

·

Depreciation of approximately $2.2 million

·

Amortization of approximately $3.5 million

 

Over the long-term, Willdan continues to target both organic and acquisitive Net Revenue growth of greater than 10%, resulting in total Net Revenue growth of greater than 20% per year.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

“Net Revenue,” defined as contract revenue as reported in accordance with GAAP minus subcontractor services and other direct costs, is a non-GAAP financial measure, Net Revenue is a supplemental measure that Willdan believes enhances investors’ ability to analyze our business trend and performance because it substantially measures the work performed by our employees. In the course of providing services, Willdan routinely subcontracts various services. Generally, these subcontractor services and other direct costs are passed through to our clients and, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and industry practice, are included in Willdan’s revenue when it is Willdan’s contractual responsibility to procure or manage such subcontracted activities. Because subcontractor services and other direct costs can vary significantly from project to project and period to period, changes in revenue may not necessarily be indicative of our business trends. Accordingly, Willdan segregates subcontractor services and other direct costs from revenue to promote a better understanding of our business by evaluating revenue exclusive of subcontract services and other direct costs associated with external service providers. A reconciliation of Willdan’s contract revenue as reported in accordance with GAAP to Net Revenue is provided at the end of this press release.

 

“Adjusted EBITDA,” defined as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, stock-based compensation, interest accretion, depreciation and amortization, transaction costs and gain on sale of equipment is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by Willdan’s management to measure its operating performance. Willdan believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows Willdan’s management to evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period and against its peers without regard to its financing methods, capital structure and non-operating expenses. Willdan uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance for, among other things, budgeting, forecasting and incentive compensation purposes. 

 

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s costs of capital, stock-based compensation, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets. Willdan’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may also differ from those of many companies reporting similarly named measures. Willdan believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors, research analysts, investment bankers and lenders because it removes the impact of certain non-operational items from its operational results, which may facilitate comparison of its results from period to period.  A

reconciliation of net income as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this press release.

 

“Adjusted Net Income,” defined as net income plus stock-based compensation, intangible amortization and transaction costs is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted Net Income is a supplemental measure used by Willdan’s management to measure its operating performance. Adjusted Net Income has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of net income as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Net Income is provided at the end of this press release.

 

“Adjusted Diluted EPS,” defined as net income plus stock-based compensation, intangible amortization and transaction costs, net of tax, all divided by the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted Diluted EPS is a supplemental measure used by Willdan’s management to measure its operating performance. Adjusted Diluted EPS differs in this press release from the similarly named non-GAAP financial measure Willdan has previously reported in prior periods in that Willdan adds back intangible amortization and transaction costs, net of tax. Adjusted Diluted EPS has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, diluted EPS as determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of diluted EPS as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Diluted EPS is provided at the end of this press release.

 

Willdan’s definition of Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures or from similarly named measures Willdan has reported in prior periods. 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 revenue and net income.
