(“MYR or the "Company”) (NASDAQ: MYRG), a holding company of leading specialty contractors serving the electric utility infrastructure, commercial and industrial construction markets in the United States and Canada, announced today its second-quarter and first-half 2025 financial results.

Management Comments
Rick Swartz, MYR’s President and CEO, said, “Our second quarter performance resulted in quarterly revenues of $900 million and backlog of $2.64 billion with net income, consolidated gross profit, gross margin and EBITDA all increasing compared to the same period of 2024.” Mr. Swartz continued, “This quarter, we secured multiple master services agreements and new projects across our core markets, further expanding our business footprint. We value the strong relationships we’ve established with our customers and continue to leverage the full capabilities of MYR Group companies to enhance the value we deliver while strategically positioning ourselves for future growth.”
Second Quarter Results
MYR reported second-quarter 2025 revenues of $900.3 million, an increase of $71.4 million, compared to the second quarter of 2024. Specifically, our Transmission and Distribution (“T&D”) segment reported quarterly revenues of $506.3 million, an increase of $48.1 million, from the second quarter of 2024, due to an increase of $25.1 million in revenue on distribution projects and an increase of $22.9 million in revenue on transmission projects. Our Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”) segment reported quarterly revenues of $394.1 million, an increase of $23.4 million, from the second quarter of 2024.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $103.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $40.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in gross profit was due to higher margin and revenues. Gross margin increased to 11.5 percent for the second quarter of 2025 from 4.9 percent for the second quarter of 2024. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the second quarter of 2024 being negatively impacted by certain T&D clean energy projects and a C&I project. In the second quarter of 2025 gross margin was also positively impacted by better-than-anticipated productivity and a favorable job closeout. These margin increases were partially offset by an increase in costs associated with labor and project inefficiencies and unfavorable change orders. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in gross margin decreases of 1.0 percent and 7.2 percent for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased to $63.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $61.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to an increase in employee incentive compensation costs and an increase in employee-related expenses to support future growth. These increases were partially offset by $5.0 million of contingent compensation expense, related to a prior acquisition, recognized during the second quarter of 2024.
Interest expense increased to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2024. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to higher average outstanding debt balances partially offset by lower interest rates during the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the second quarter of 2024.
Income tax expense was $10.9 million for the second quarter of 2025, with an effective tax rate of 29.2 percent, compared to an income tax benefit of $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, with an effective tax rate of 31.0 percent. The period-over-period change in tax rate was primarily due to the reduction of the impact of the global intangible low tax income (“GILTI”).
For the second quarter of 2025, net income was $26.5 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $15.3 million, or ($0.91) per diluted share, for the same period of 2024. Second-quarter 2025 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $55.6 million, compared to ($4.7) million in the second quarter of 2024.

First-Half Results
MYR reported first-half 2025 revenues of $1.73 billion, an increase of $89.4 million, compared to the first half of 2024. Specifically, our T&D segment reported revenues of $968.0 million, an increase of $19.4 million, from the first half of 2024, due to an increase of $40.6 million in revenue on distribution projects, partially offset by a decrease of $21.2 million in revenue on transmission projects, primarily related to clean energy. Our C&I segment reported revenues of $765.9 million, an increase of $70.1 million, from the first half of 2024.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $200.6 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $127.1 million in the first half of 2024. The increase in gross profit was due to higher margin and revenues. Gross margin increased to 11.6 percent for the first half of 2025 from 7.7 percent for the first half of 2024. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to the first half of 2024 being negatively impacted by certain T&D clean energy projects and by a C&I project. In the first half of 2025, gross margin was also positively impacted by better-than-anticipated productivity, favorable change orders and a favorable job closeout. These margin increases were partially offset by an increase in costs associated with labor and project inefficiencies and unfavorable change orders. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in gross margin decreases of 1.2 percent and 4.2 percent for the first half of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
SG&A increased to $125.8 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $124.1 million for the first half of 2024. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to an increase in employee incentive compensation costs and an increase in employee-related expenses to support future growth. These increases were partially offset by $8.2 million of contingent compensation expense, related to a prior acquisition, recognized during the first half of 2024.
Interest expense increased to $3.3 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $2.3 million for the first half of 2024. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to higher average outstanding debt balances, partially offset by lower interest rates during the first half of 2025 as compared to the first half of 2024.
Income tax expense was $20.4 million for the first half of 2025, with an effective tax rate of 29.1 percent, compared to income tax benefit of $2.7 million for the first half of 2024, with an effective tax rate of negative 281.9 percent. The period-over-period change in tax rate was primarily due to higher pretax income, lower other permanent difference items and lower stock compensation excess tax benefits.
For the first half of 2025, net income was $49.8 million, or $3.15 per diluted share, compared to $3.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the same period of 2024.
Backlog
As of June 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, MYR's backlog was $2.64 billion. As of June 30, 2025, T&D backlog was $926.5 million, and C&I backlog was $1.72 billion. Total backlog as of June 30, 2025 increased $97.7 million, or 3.8 percent, from the $2.54 billion reported as of June 30, 2024.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2025, MYR had $383.3 million of borrowing availability under its $490 million revolving credit facility.
Share Repurchase Program
In addition, the Company announced today that its Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”), which authorizes the Company to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $75.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock from time to time at management’s discretion on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, structured transactions or other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. The amount and timing of repurchases are subject to a variety of factors, including market and business conditions, as well as applicable contractual and legal requirements. The Repurchase Program will expire on February 4, 2026, or when the authorized funds are exhausted, whichever is earlier. The Company is not obligated to acquire any specific amount of common stock, and the Company’s Board of Directors may modify or terminate the Repurchase Program at any time. The Company intends to fund the Repurchase Program with cash on hand and through borrowings under its credit facility. The Repurchase Program replaces and supersedes the Company’s prior $75.0 million repurchase program, under which the Company had exhausted substantially all of the available funds, and such prior repurchase program has been terminated.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement MYR’s financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), MYR uses certain non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found at the end of this release. MYR’s definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
2


MYR believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful because they (i) provide both management and investors meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results, (ii) permit investors to view MYR’s performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate MYR’s past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance, (iii) publicly disclose results that are relevant to financial covenants included in MYR’s credit facility and (iv) otherwise provide supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating MYR.

(1)Last-twelve-months earnings per share is the sum of earnings per share reported in the last four quarters.
(2)Last-twelve-months weighted average basic and diluted shares were determined by adding the weighted average shares reported for the last four quarters and dividing by four.
(3)Funded debt includes outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and our outstanding equipment notes.
(4)These financial performance measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial statements. These measures are used by management to evaluate our past performance, our prospects for future performance and our ability to comply with certain material covenants as defined within our credit agreement, and to compare our results with those of our peers. In addition, we believe that certain of the measures, such as book value, tangible book value, free cash flow, asset turnover, return on equity, and debt leverage are measures that are monitored by sureties, lenders, lessors, suppliers and certain investors. Our calculation of each measure is described in the following notes; our calculation may not be the same as the calculations made by other companies.
(5)EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance or to net cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Certain material covenants contained within our credit agreement are based on EBITDA with certain additional adjustments, including our interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio, which we must comply with to avoid potential immediate repayment of amounts borrowed or additional fees to seek relief from our lenders. In addition, management considers EBITDA a useful measure because it provides MYR Group Inc. and its investors with an additional tool to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes to not directly reflect the company’s core operations. Management further believes that EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of our financial statements in evaluating the company’s operating performance and cash flow because EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, useful lives placed on assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.
(6)EBITDA per diluted share is calculated by dividing EBITDA by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the period. EBITDA per diluted share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income (loss) per diluted share.
(7)EBIA, net of taxes is defined as net income (loss) plus net interest plus amortization of intangible assets, less the tax impact of net interest and amortization of intangible assets. The tax impact of net interest and amortization of intangible assets is computed by multiplying net interest and amortization of intangible assets by the effective tax rate. Management uses EBIA, net of taxes, to measure our results exclusive of the impact of financing and amortization of intangible assets costs.
(8)Free cash flow, which is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities minus cash flow used in purchasing property and equipment, is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss), cash flow from operations or the change in cash on the balance sheet. Management views free cash flow as a measure of operational performance, liquidity and financial health.
(9)Book value per period end share is calculated by dividing total shareholders’ equity at the end of the period by the period end shares outstanding.
(10)Tangible book value is calculated by subtracting goodwill and intangible assets outstanding at the end of the period from shareholders’ equity. Tangible book value is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to book value or shareholders’ equity.
(11)Tangible book value per period end share is calculated by dividing tangible book value at the end of the period by the period end number of shares outstanding. Tangible book value per period end share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income (loss) per diluted share.
(12)The funded debt to equity ratio is calculated by dividing total funded debt at the end of the period by total shareholders’ equity at the end of the period.
(13)Asset turnover is calculated by dividing the current period revenue by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(14)Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income (loss) for the period by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(15)Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income (loss) for the period by total shareholders’ equity at the beginning of the period.
(16)Return on invested capital is calculated by dividing EBIA, net of taxes, less any dividends, by average invested capital. Return on invested capital is not recognized under GAAP, and is a key metric used by management to determine our executive compensation.
(17)Period end shares is calculated by adding average common stock equivalents for the quarter to the period end balance of common stock outstanding. Period end shares is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to diluted shares. Management views period end shares as a better measure of shares outstanding as of the end of the period.
(18)Average invested capital is calculated by adding net funded debt (total funded debt less cash and marketable securities) to total shareholders’ equity and calculating the average of the beginning and ending of each period.
