'Primoris had another great quarter to start 2025, delivering solid execution on our strategy to expand margins and increase cash flow generation,' said David King, Chairman and Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Primoris. 'We remain focused on serving the needs of our customers through safe, reliable and quality performance and I want to thank our employees for their efforts in achieving these goals in the first quarter.'
'Despite uncertainty in the current regulatory and economic environments, the fundamentals of our end markets remain strong. We continue to see elevated levels of demand for our infrastructure services, particularly in meeting the utility and power generation needs of North America. We believe the need to support increased electrification of industry, further investments in manufacturing and the construction of facilities to support emerging technologies provides significant opportunities for Primoris in the years ahead.'
'While we continue to monitor conditions and engage with customers on potential impacts to their plans, we continue to have a robust backlog and broad range of opportunities to win new business throughout the year,' he added. 'Overall, we are confident in our ability to meet our full year 2025 goals and adapt to further changes in the macroeconomic or regulatory landscape.'
First Quarter 2025 Results Overview
Revenue was $1,648.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $235.4 million, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was due to growth in both our Energy and Utilities segments. Operating income was $70.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $26.1 million compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue and improved margins in the Utilities segment. Operating income as a percentage of revenue increased to 4.3 percent from 3.1 percent for the same period in 2024, primarily driven by improved margins in our Utilities segment.
This press release includes Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these measures enable investors, analysts, and management to evaluate Primoris' performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. In addition, management believes these measures are useful in comparing the Company's operating results with those of its competitors. Please refer to 'Non-GAAP Measures' and Schedules 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the definitions and reconciliations of the Company's Non-GAAP financial measures, including 'Adjusted Net Income,' 'Adjusted EPS' and 'Adjusted EBITDA'.
During the first quarter of 2025, net income was $44.2 million compared to $18.9 million in the prior year. Adjusted Net Income was $53.5 million for the first quarter, compared to $25.8 million for the same period in 2024. Diluted earnings per share ('EPS') was $0.81 for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $0.35 for the same period in 2024.

Utilities Segment ('Utilities'): Revenue increased by $75.5 million, or 15.5 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased activity in our power delivery, communications, and gas operations markets. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by $17.9 million compared to the same period in 2024 due to revenue growth and improved gross margins. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 9.2 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 6.0 percent for the same period in 2024, primarily due to strong performance in our power delivery market.
Energy Segment ('Energy'): Revenue increased by $160.7 million, or 17.0 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased renewable energy activity. Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by $12.3 million, or 18.4 percent compared to the same period in 2024, due to strong revenue growth. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly to 10.7 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 11.0 percent in the same period in 2024.
Other Income Statement Information
Selling, general and administrative ('SG&A') expenses were $99.5 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $10.9 million, or 12.3 percent, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased people costs to support revenue growth and severance costs associated with the separation agreement entered into with our former Chief Executive Officer ('CEO'). SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue declined to 6.0 percent in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 6.3 percent in the first quarter of 2024.
Interest expense, net for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was $7.8 million compared to $18.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $10.2 million was due to lower average debt balances and lower average interest rates.
The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, of 29.0 percent differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible components of per diem expenses. We recorded income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of $18.1 million compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The $10.4 million increase in income tax expense is primarily driven by a $35.6 million increase in pretax income.
Outlook
The Company is maintaining its estimates for the year ending December 31, 2025. Net income is expected to be between $203.3 million and $214.3 million. Earnings per Share ('EPS') is expected to be between $3.70 and $3.90 per fully diluted share. Adjusted EPS is estimated in the range of $4.20 to $4.40, and Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025 is expected to range from $440 to $460 million.
The Company is targeting SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue to be approximately six percent for the full year 2025. The Company's targeted gross margins by segment are as follows: Utilities in the range of 9 to 11 percent; Energy in the range of 10 to 12 percent. The Company expects its effective tax rate for 2025 to be similar to 2024 at approximately 29 percent, but it may vary depending on the mix of states in which the Company operates.
Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to 'Non-GAAP Measures' and Schedules below for the definitions and reconciliations. The guidance provided above constitutes forward-looking statements, which are based on current economic conditions and estimates, and the Company does not include other potential impacts, such as changes in accounting or unusual items. Supplemental information relating to the Company's financial outlook is posted in the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at www.prim.com.
At March 31, 2025, total Fixed Backlog was $5.5 billion, a decrease of $0.6 billion, or 9.1 percent compared to $6.1 billion at December 31, 2024. Total MSA Backlog was $5.8 billion, up slightly compared to December 31, 2024. Total Backlog as of March 31, 2025, was $11.4 billion, including Utilities backlog of $5.6 billion and Energy backlog of $5.8 billion.
Backlog, including estimated MSA revenue, should not be considered a comprehensive indicator of future revenue. Revenue from certain projects where scope, and therefore contract value, is not adequately defined, is not included in Fixed Backlog. At any time, any project may be cancelled at the convenience of the Company's customers.
Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation
At March 31, 2025, the Company had $351.6 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents compared to $177.6 million at March 31, 2024. In the first quarter of 2025, capital expenditures were $40.6 million, including $21.7 million in construction equipment purchases. The Company estimates capital expenditures for the remaining nine months of 2025 to total between $50.0 million and $70.0 million, which includes $40.0 million to $60.0 million for equipment.
The Company announced that on April 30, 2025, its Board of Directors declared a $0.08 per share cash dividend to stockholders of record on June 30, 2025, payable on approximately July 15, 2025. The Company also announced that on April 30, 2025, its Board of Directors authorized a share purchase program under which Primoris may, from time to time and depending on market conditions, share price and other factors, acquire shares of its common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions up to an aggregate purchase price of $150 million. The share purchase program expires on April 30, 2028.

Non-GAAP Measures
This press release contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ('GAAP'). Primoris uses earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ('EBITDA'), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS as important supplemental measures of the Company's operating performance. The Company believes these measures enable investors, analysts, and management to evaluate Primoris' performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. In addition, management believes these measures are useful in comparing the Company's operating results with those of its competitors. The non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Primoris' method of calculating these measures may be different from methods used by other companies, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies that do not use the same methodology as Primoris. Please see the accompanying tables to this press release for reconciliations of the following non‐GAAP financial measures for Primoris' current and historical results: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS
(In Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)
(Unaudited)
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS
Primoris defines Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) adjusted for certain items including, (i) non‐cash stock‐based compensation expense; (ii) transaction/integration and related costs; (iii) asset impairment charges; (iv) changes in fair value of the Company's interest rate swap; (v) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; (vi) amortization of intangible assets; (vii) amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs; (viii) losses on extinguishment of debt; (ix) severance and restructuring changes; (x) selected (gains) charges that are unusual or non-recurring; and (xi) impact of changes in statutory tax rates. The Company defines Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Management believes these adjustments are helpful for comparing the Company's operating performance with prior periods. Because Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, as defined, exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and diluted earnings per share, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measures, net income and diluted earnings per share, and information reconciling the GAAP and non‐GAAP financial measures, are included in the table below.

Adjustments above are reported on a pre-tax basis before the income tax impact of adjustments. The income tax impact for each adjustment is determined by calculating the tax impact of the adjustment on the Company's quarterly and annual effective tax rate, as applicable, unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Primoris defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain items including, (i) non‐cash stock‐based compensation expense; (ii) transaction/integration and related costs; (iii) asset impairment charges; (iv) severance and restructuring changes; (v) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; and (vi) selected (gains) charges that are unusual or non-recurring. The Company believes the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures assist in providing a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational measures to manage its business, to evaluate its performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non‐GAAP financial measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. These non‐GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, and information reconciling the GAAP and non‐GAAP financial measures are included in the table below.

C3 AI (AI) Nosedives as Preliminary Results ‘Completely Unacceptable'
We recently published . Inc. (NYSE:AI) is one of the best-performing stocks on Monday. fell for a fourth straight day on Monday, slashing 25.58 percent to close at $16.47 apiece after its chief executive called the preliminary results of its first quarter of fiscal year 2026 performance 'completely unacceptable.' According to Inc. (NYSE:AI), it was targeting to report total revenues of $70.2 million to $70.4 million, and GAAP operational loss of $124.7 million to $124.9 million. Non-GAAP loss from operations was targeted at $57.7 million to $57.9 million. Commenting on the results, Inc. (NYSE:AI) CEO Tom Siebel said the sales figures were 'completely unacceptable,' and pointed to disruptions from a recent leadership reorganization, and his health contributing to the company's poor performance. Last month, Inc. (NYSE:AI) announced that it was searching for a new CEO after Siebel tendered his resignation due to health reasons, effective upon a successor assuming his post. 'After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in early 2025, I have experienced significant visual impairment,' he was quoted as saying last month. 'For C3 AI to reach its full potential—which I believe is spectacular—the board and I have initiated a search for a new CEO who can take the company to the next level of growth and success. I will remain fully engaged as Chief Executive Officer of until such time as the board appoints my successor, after which I will continue in the role of Executive Chairman, focusing on strategy, product innovation, strategic partner and customer relationships,' he noted.

Experts from Witherite Law Group say Autonomous Trucks are Not Ready for Texas Roads
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Attorney and truck safety advocate Amy Witherite warns that autonomous trucks still face serious safety gaps—acknowledged by their own developers, confirmed by independent studies, and underscored by industry experts. Waabi CEO Raquel Urtasun has called her company's simulator-based approach 'provably safe,' saying real-world testing in the millions of miles 'is nowhere near what would be required to provide the rigorous evidence necessary for a comprehensive safety case.' Professor Philip Koopman of Carnegie Mellon University, one of the world's leading autonomous vehicle safety researchers, cautions that true safety requires ultra-reliability: 'Safety isn't about working right most of the time. Safety is all about the rare case where it doesn't work properly. It has to work 99.999999999% of the time. AV companies are still working on the first few nines, with a bunch more nines to go.' Witherite says those two statements highlight the gap between marketing promises and operational reality: 'Even the most advanced companies admit they're far from testing at the scale needed to prove safety under real-world conditions. Experts are telling us this technology is still working out the basics—so putting it on Texas highways is reckless.' This comes as Aurora Innovation begins nighttime runs of its self-driving trucks on the Dallas–Houston route—still with a human observer in the cab 'though no manual intervention is required'—and Texas A&M Transportation Institute warns that AI-driven systems remain limited by their programming, sensor range, and narrowly defined operational design domains. Meanwhile, FMCSA's 2023 Pocket Guide to Large Truck and Bus Statistics shows Texas is not only the deadliest state for large truck crashes in raw numbers—with 821 fatalities in 2021—but also has a per-mile fatality rate of 0.29 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled, well above the U.S. average of 0.19. While a few states have even higher per-mile rates, Texas still ranks in the higher-risk tier nationally and far exceeds states like California despite having a smaller population. In 2023 alone, Texas recorded 650 deadly large-truck crashes—52% more than California, the next highest state. 'Texas can't afford to be the test track for unproven technology,' Witherite said. 'We already have the highest truck crash fatality numbers in the country and a safety rate worse than the national average. Until autonomous trucks can meet the extreme reliability experts demand, they have no place in live traffic.' Amy Witherite is the founding attorney of Witherite Law Group and a nationally recognized traffic safety advocate. She has represented hundreds of families affected by trucking collisions.
