New Gas-Fired Power Stations Planned for North and South Dakota
Regulators in North Dakota have given their approval for a 1,490-MW natural gas-fired power plant, a combined-cycle station that Basin Electric Power Cooperative officials said would provide the area with its first new baseload electric output in more than four decades. South Dakota utility commissioners, meanwhile, are set to consider an application for a smaller, 145-MW gas-fired facility in that state. The North Dakota Public Service Commission on August 7 said the Bison Generation Station project, representing an investment of nearly $4 billion, would be built near Eppling in the northwestern part of the state. It will feature two, 745-MW units, and be built in two phases. The first unit is expected online in 2029, with the second entering commercial operation the following year. Officials have said the Bison station, which was first announced in January of this year, will use natural gas produced in North Dakota, with officials noting it will support the state's oil and gas industry. [caption id="attachment_239283" align="alignnone" width="640"] This is a rendering of the 1,490-MW Bison Generation Station planned near Eppling, North Dakota. Source: Basin Electric[/caption] Missouri River Energy Services (MRES), meanwhile, on August 7 announced the utility had applied to the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission for permission to build the $378-million Toronto Power Plant, a 145-MW gas-fired station in Deuel County in the northeastern part of that state. The project would include four combustion turbine-generators, along with a new 4.9-mile, 345-kilovolt transmission line. It will source natural gas from an existing gas pipeline, and connect to a substation with access to the regional power grid. Officials with MRES said the site was chosen due to its proximity to existing transmission and fuel supply infrastructure. With regulatory approval, construction would begin in spring 2027, with commercial operation expected by year-end 2029. 'As our public power communities continue to grow, along with their energy consumption, we're taking proactive steps to ensure reliability and affordability,' said Terry Wolf, vice president and chief operating officer at MRES. 'The Toronto Power Plant will provide flexible, fast-start generation that complements the needs of the regional grid today, which helps us deliver reliable power to our municipal electric utilities.' Data Centers in North Dakota Basin Electric officials earlier this year said the Bison project was not specifically developed in an effort to attract data center operators to the area, but regulators also have acknowledged the new power plant could support load from that energy-intensive industry. Basin Electric has developed a program to that would enable the utility to serve large-load customers such as data centers. Basin Electric said the Bison project is one of the largest in the co-op's history. Benjamin Hertz, manager of power supply planning for Basin Electric, at a June hearing in front of state regulators said the company needs new generation capacity because it is forecasting higher levels of power use from traditional customers, including the state's oil and gas industry. 'Much of this is due to oil and gas related activity in this region,' Hertz said at the June 30 hearing. The utility said it has developed its "Large Load Program" in collaboration with its membership. Officials said the program is "designed to ensure that the costs and risks associated with serving new large electric loads are not passed on" to the co-op's current members. "Some of the key benefits for the development of the large load commercial program are to allow Basin Electric to flexibly serve new large loads in a manner that does not cause undue rate pressure on the membership," Dan Gallagher, vice president of Commercial Operations, said in late June, after the program was approved by Basin Electric's board of directors. "Additionally, this program will ensure that stranded asset risk associated with building new resources is mitigated." —Darrell Proctor is a senior editor for POWER.

Second Quarter 2025 Summary (all comparisons versus the prior-year period unless otherwise noted, and results denoted with * are quarterly records) Revenues of $921.5 million*, up 31.0%. Net income of $52.8 million*, up 35.4%; net income margin of 5.7%. Diluted earnings per share of $1.03*, up 35.5%.

See the Non-GAAP Measures sections for definitions and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this news release. Management Commentary "We are extremely proud of our strong second quarter results, which benefited from continued end-market momentum, excellent project execution and our long-term customer relationships," said Jeffrey S. Thiede, president and CEO of Everus. "Revenues increased 31% with margin gains in both our E&M and T&D segments compared to second quarter 2024, driving EBITDA growth of nearly 36%. "Our backlog at June 30 was up 24% compared to the same time last year, with balanced growth in both T&D and E&M as we continue to experience significant opportunities across our diversified operations, largely in the same areas that have been strong for us, including the commercial, utility, renewables, and institutional markets. We have several large projects in the early stages of construction that will scale as they progress, which combined with our strong competitive position and favorable demand drivers, give us confidence in our ability to generate continued backlog growth. "Based on our strong results in the first half of the year, which included the benefit of efficient project execution and favorable project timing, and while considering our project mix and expected project cadence for the second half of the year, we are raising our 2025 guidance. We now expect revenues to be in the range of $3.3 billion to $3.4 billion and EBITDA in the range of $240 million to $255 million."

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $47.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $37.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher labor and professional service-related expenses, including incremental stand-alone operating costs, to support the operational growth of the business, along with higher corporate overhead expenses. Net income increased 35.4% to $52.8 million, or diluted EPS of $1.03, in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $39.0 million, or diluted EPS of 76 cents, in the second quarter of 2024.

The increase was primarily from increased gross profit and higher income from joint ventures, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, interest expense related to borrowing arrangements and income taxes on higher pretax income. Net income margin remained consistent at 5.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 5.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Commentary Balance Sheet As of June 30, the company had $64.5 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $292.5 million of gross debt, compared to $69.9 million and $300.0 million as of Dec. 31, 2024. As of both June 30, and Dec. 31, 2024, the company had $209.4 million available under the revolving credit facility, net of $15.6 million of outstanding standby letters of credit. Net leverage, defined as net debt-to-trailing 12-month EBITDA, was 0.8x as of June 30, 2025, compared to 1.0x as of Dec. 31, 2024. Working capital, defined as current assets minus current liabilities, was $474.7 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $403.9 million as of Dec. 31, 2024. The working capital changes were primarily driven by project timing, workload activity and billing fluctuations, with higher receivables and contract assets, partially offset by higher accounts payable, contract liabilities, net and accrued compensation and payroll-related liabilities. Cash Flow Operating cash flows were $32.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily related to higher net income, higher non-cash expenses and increased return on investment distributions from joint ventures. Capital expenditures were $31.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily from vehicle, equipment and building investments to support the company's growth. Everus had positive free cash flow of $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to negative free cash flow of $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily from higher operating cash flows, partially offset by higher net capital expenditures. Forecast for 2025 Everus is raising its estimated full-year revenues and EBITDA guidance for 2025. Revenues are expected to be in the range of $3.3 billion to $3.4 billion, updated from $3.0 billion to $3.1 billion. EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $240 million to $255 million, updated from $210 million to $225 million, with EBITDA margins expected to be lower than in 2024 due to stand-alone operating costs and associated dis-synergies. Everus is affirming its estimated full-year gross capital expenditures guidance for 2025. Gross capital expenditures for 2025 are expected to be in the range of $65 million to $70 million. Basis of Presentation Prior to the spinoff from MDU Resources Group, Inc. on Oct. 31, 2024, Everus Construction, Inc., including its subsidiaries, operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of CEHI, LLC (Centennial) and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of MDU Resources and not as a stand-alone company. Following the separation, Everus Construction is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Everus. As a result, for periods prior to the separation, Everus' financial information, including results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, was prepared on a "carve-out" basis in connection with the spinoff and was derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of MDU Resources as if Everus operated on a stand-alone basis. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for periods presented prior to the spinoff have been retrospectively adjusted to the number of shares outstanding on Oct. 31, 2024, the separation and distribution date. It is assumed that there were no dilutive or anti-dilutive equity instruments as of Oct. 31, 2024, because there were no Everus stock-based awards outstanding for periods prior to the separation. Cash-settled, related-party transactions between Everus Construction, MDU Resources, Centennial or other MDU Resources subsidiaries for general operating activities; Everus Construction's participation in MDU Resources' centralized cash management program through Centennial; and intercompany debt were included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the separation. These related-party transactions were reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets prior to the separation as due from related-party, due from related-party - noncurrent, due to related-party or related-party notes payable. The aggregate net effect of general related-party operating activities was reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows within operating activities for periods prior to the separation. The effects of Everus Construction's participation in MDU Resources' centralized cash management program and intercompany debt arrangements were reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows within investing and financing activities for periods prior to the separation. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Throughout this news release, Everus presents financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), as well as non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, EBITDA margin, net debt, net leverage and free cash flow, and, in some cases, applicable measures by segment. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as alternatives to net income, net income margin, total debt, gross leverage and cash provided by (used in) operating activities. Everus believes the use of these non-GAAP financial measures are beneficial in evaluating the company's financial performance.

Everus' determination of backlog can include projects that have a written award, a letter of intent, a notice to proceed, an agreed upon work order to perform work on mutually accepted terms, and conditions and change orders or claims to the extent management believes additional contract revenues will be earned and are deemed probable of collection. Contracts are subject to delays, defaults or cancellations; changes in scope of services to be provided; and adjustments to costs. Backlog also may be affected by project delays or cancellations resulting from weather conditions, external market factors and economic factors beyond Everus' control, among other things. Accordingly, there is no assurance that backlog will be realized. For the periods presented in the following backlog table, Everus did not experience any material impacts related to delays or cancellations of planned projects included in backlog. The timing of contract awards, including contracts awarded pursuant to master service agreements, duration of large new contracts and the mix of services can significantly affect backlog. Backlog at any given point in time may not accurately represent revenue or net income realized in any period, and backlog as of the end of the year may not be indicative of revenue or net income expected to be realized in the following year. Backlog should not be relied upon as a stand-alone indicator of future results. The following table provides estimated backlog as of the dates indicated: June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 June 30, 2024 (In millions) Electrical & Mechanical $ 2,568.1 $ 2,507.0 $ 2,063.8 Transmission & Distribution 410.1 273.6 339.6 Total $ 2,978.2 $ 2,780.6 $ 2,403.4 Everus Construction Group, Financial Measures In addition to information prepared in accordance with GAAP, the company evaluates operating performance using the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA, EBITDA margin, net debt and net leverage, and, in some cases, applicable measures by segment, and evaluates its liquidity using the non-GAAP financial measure of free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the company's results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, net debt, net leverage and free cash flow should not be considered as replacements for net income, net income margin, total debt, gross leverage and cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most comparable GAAP measures, respectively. Non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized; therefore, it may not be possible to compare them with other companies' EBITDA, EBITDA margin, net debt, net leverage and free cash flow having the same or similar names. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin Everus utilizes EBITDA and EBITDA margin to consistently assess its operating performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting, since the company believes EBITDA closely correlates to long-term enterprise value. Everus believes that measuring performance on an EBITDA basis is useful to investors, because it enables a more consistent evaluation of its period-to-period operational performance. Everus also believes these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures of net income and net income margin, are useful to investors and provide meaningful information about operational efficiency by excluding the impacts of differences in tax jurisdictions and structures, debt levels and capital investment. Investors also may use EBITDA to calculate leverage as a multiple of EBITDA. Management uses EBITDA and EBITDA margin, in addition to GAAP metrics, to evaluate the company's operating results, calculate compensation packages and determine leverage as a multiple of EBITDA to establish the appropriate funding of operations. EBITDA is calculated by adding back interest expense, net of interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization to net income. EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by operating revenues. The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA and provides the calculation of EBITDA margin.

The company believe these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures of total debt and gross leverage, are useful to investors because they provide insight into how long it would take the company to pay back its debt if net debt and EBITDA were constant. Net debt is calculated by adding unamortized debt issuance costs to the total debt balance on the balance sheet, less any unrestricted cash. Net leverage is calculated by dividing net debt by trailing 12-month EBITDA. The following table provides the reconciliations of trailing 12-month EBITDA as of June 30, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2024. Twelve months ended June 30, 2025 Six months ended June 30, 2025 Twelve months ended December 31, 2024 Six months ended June 30, 2024 (In millions) Net income $ 165.7 $ 89.5 $ 143.4 $ 67.2 Interest expense, net 17.5 9.5 14.0 6.0 Income taxes 58.9 33.0 49.5 23.6 Depreciation and amortization 27.2 14.0 25.3 12.1 EBITDA $ 269.3 $ 146.0 $ 232.2 $ 108.9 The following table provides the reconciliations net leverage as of June 30, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2024.

The company believes this non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measure of cash provided by (used in) operating activities, is useful to investors because it provides meaningful information about the company's financial health and ability to generate cash, support additional debt obligations, pay future dividends and fund growth. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less net capital expenditures. The following table provides reconciliations of cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow. Six months ended June 30, 2025 2024 (In millions) Net cash used in investing activities $ (25.7 ) $ (11.5 ) Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities $ (8.1 ) $ 6.5 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 32.5 $ 3.7 Purchases of property, plant and equipment (31.6 ) (16.5 ) Cash proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment 5.6 5.4 Free cash flow $ 6.5 $ (7.4 ) Non-GAAP Financial Guidance The company is unable to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP financial guidance relating to full-year 2025 EBITDA margin to its nearest GAAP measure because the company is unable to predict the timing of these adjustments with a reasonable degree of certainty. By their very nature, non-GAAP adjustments are difficult to anticipate with precision because they are generally associated with unexpected and unplanned events that impact the company and its financial results. Therefore, the company is unable to provide the reconciliation of full-year 2025 EBITDA margin guidance without unreasonable efforts.
