“Arcosa delivered double-digit revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth in the third quarter, normalizing for the sale of the storage tanks business,” said Antonio Carrillo, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Strong results in Construction and Transportation Products more than compensated for a decline in Engineered Structures, underscoring the resiliency of our diversified portfolio.

“In Construction Products, pricing remained strong across our portfolio. Natural aggregates benefited from a recovery in overall volumes, particularly in our Texas and Gulf Coast regions. In specialty materials, margins increased significantly from the second quarter, reflecting solid execution on our operational improvement plan. We also advanced our strategic objectives, investing $41 million to complete three bolt-on acquisitions in September and October. While relatively small in size, these acquisitions expand our footprint within both existing and new geographies at attractive valuations.

“Within Engineered Structures, our wind towers business performed well despite a relatively low level of production volume. We continued to take steps to prepare our footprint for an anticipated multi-year up-cycle, and our backlog provides visibility for improved performance in 2024. During the quarter, we were pleased to receive a small qualification order from a new customer for delivery next year.”

Carrillo continued, “Our utility structures business underperformed relative to our expectations in the third quarter. Key factors affecting performance included product mix headwinds, partially attributable to some higher margin projects delaying to 2024, and operating challenges, including equipment downtime. Year-over-year results were also impacted by a stronger peso. We are addressing these challenges and anticipate improved performance going forward.

“Adjusted Segment EBITDA in Transportation Products reached a three-year high with margin nearly tripling year-over-year. This performance highlights the enhanced operating leverage inherent in these businesses as production volumes increase. Inland river water levels reached historic lows during the quarter impacting customer sentiment, which is reflected in our book-to-bill ratio of 0.3. Despite relatively low order activity in the third quarter, our backlog is up 87% year-over-year and extends into the second half of 2024 with improved pricing.”

Carrillo concluded, “Our balance sheet and liquidity position remain strong, providing ample flexibility for strategic capital allocation. We are making solid progress on our organic growth initiatives within Construction Products and Engineered Structures and look forward to the related contribution in 2024 and beyond.”

2023 Outlook and Guidance

The Company maintains its full year 2023 guidance:

  • Consolidated revenue of $2.25 billion to $2.30 billion.
  • Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $355 million to $370 million.

Commenting on the outlook, Carrillo concluded, “We are pleased with our strong year-to-date results and remain confident in our 2023 outlook. As we look ahead to next year, Arcosa is well-positioned for continued growth. Backlogs in our cyclical businesses provide visibility for stronger performance, and the fundamentals in our growth businesses are favorable. We remain focused on building long-term shareholder value through the consistent execution of our strategy.”

Third Quarter 2023 Results and Commentary

Construction Products

  • Revenues increased 7% to $262.1 million driven by higher pricing across our aggregates and specialty materials businesses and volume growth in our natural aggregates business. Our trench shoring business benefited from both organic volume growth and acquisition-related contribution.
  • Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 9% to $58.7 million, reflecting strong pricing gains and reduced inflationary cost pressures.
  • Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin expanded to 22.4% compared to 22.1% in the prior year period. Freight-Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin of 25.3% was flat with the prior year period.
  • Margin in our specialty materials business increased sequentially reflecting progress on plans to address labor and maintenance challenges, but declined year-over-year.

Engineered Structures

  • Comparability of segment results was impacted by the divestiture of our storage tanks business completed on October 3, 2022. Prior year third quarter results included revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the storage tanks business of $65.8 million and $18.7 million, respectively.
  • Revenues for utility, wind, and related structures increased due to higher volumes in our utility structures business, partially offset by lower pricing due to product mix and reduced volumes in our wind tower business.
  • Excluding the impact of the storage tanks business, Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased 6% to $25.4 million, and margins declined 140 basis points to 11.4%.
  • Adjusted Segment EBITDA declined primarily due to lower margins in our utility structures business, partially offset by the recognition of $5.6 million in net benefit from Advanced Manufacturing Production (“AMP”) tax credits in our wind towers business.
  • The margin decline in utility structures was the result of product mix headwinds, operating challenges, and negative foreign currency impacts.
  • Order activity for utility and related structures was healthy, with orders received keeping pace with shipments. Conversations with our customers for additional wind tower orders continue. During the quarter, we received a qualification order from a new customer for two wind towers.
  • At the end of the third quarter, the combined backlog for utility, wind, and related structures was $1,450.8 million compared to $370.4 million at the end of the third quarter of 2022.

Transportation Products

  • Revenues were $107.1 million, up 30%. Barge revenues increased 32% and steel components revenues increased 25%, both driven by higher volumes and pricing.
  • Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased $13.3 million, or 271%, to $18.2 million, representing a 17.0% margin compared to 5.9% in the prior period. The increase was driven by enhanced operating leverage on higher volumes and improved pricing.
  • During the quarter, we received orders of approximately $21 million in our barge business, representing a book-to-bill of 0.3. These orders extend our backlog into the second half of 2024.
  • Barge backlog at the end of the quarter was $240.4 million compared to $128.9 million at the end of the third quarter of 2022. We expect to deliver approximately 26% of our current backlog in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the remainder in 2024.

Corporate and Other Financial Notes

  • Excluding acquisition and divestiture-related costs, which have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, corporate expenses decreased to $14.2 million in the third quarter compared to $15.1 million in the prior year primarily driven by lower insurance-related costs.
  • Acquisition and divestiture-related costs were $0.5 million in the third quarter compared to $1.6 million in the prior year.
  • The effective tax rate for the third quarter was 17.4% compared to 21.2% in the prior year. The decrease in the tax rate was primarily due to AMP tax credits for our wind tower business, which are excluded from taxable income, and lower foreign taxes.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

  • Operating cash flow was $43.9 million during the third quarter, a decrease of $27.5 million year-over-year primarily due to an increase in working capital requirements.
  • Working capital resulted in a $29.4 million use of cash for the quarter compared to the prior year's $3.8 million use of cash. The increase in working capital was largely due to higher volumes and the timing of collection of our receivables.
  • Capital expenditures in the third quarter were $47.9 million, up $14.9 million from the prior year, as progress continued on organic projects underway in Construction Products and Engineered Structures.
  • Free Cash Flow for the quarter was $1.7 million, down from $40.7 million in the prior year.
  • We ended the quarter with total liquidity of $633.3 million, including $155.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 1.0X for the trailing twelve months.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS

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 EBITDA

($ in millions)

(unaudited)

 

“EBITDA” is defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain items that are not reflective of the normal earnings of our business. 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.

“Freight-Adjusted Revenues” for Construction Products is defined as segment revenues less freight and delivery, which are pass-through activities. GAAP does not define Freight-Adjusted Revenues and they should not be considered as alternatives to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including revenues. We use Freight-Adjusted Revenues in the review of our operating results. We also believe that this presentation is consistent with our competitors. As a widely used metric by analysts and investors, this metric assists in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis. “Freight-Adjusted Segment Margin” is defined as Freight-Adjusted Revenues divided by Adjusted Segment EBITDA.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

($ in millions)

GAAP does not define “Free Cash Flow” and it should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow measures defined by GAAP, including cash flow from operating activities. We define Free Cash Flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures net of the proceeds from the disposition of property, plant, equipment, and other assets. The Company also uses “Free Cash Flow Conversion”, which we define as Free Cash Flow divided by net income. We use these metrics to assess the liquidity of our consolidated business. We present these metrics for the convenience of investors who use such metrics in their analysis and for shareholders who need to understand the metrics we use to assess performance and monitor our cash and liquidity positions.

GAAP does not define “Net Debt” and it should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow or liquidity measures defined by GAAP. The Company uses Net Debt, which it defines as total debt minus cash and cash equivalents to determine the extent to which the Company’s outstanding debt obligations would be satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand. The Company also uses “Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA”, which it defines as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months as a metric of its current leverage position. We present this metric for the convenience of investors who use such metrics in their analysis and for shareholders who need to understand the metrics we use to assess performance and monitor our cash and liquidity positions.
