     117  0 Kommentare Bowman Announces Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results

    Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: BWMN) (“Bowman” or the “Company”), a national engineering and infrastructure services firm supporting owners and developers of the built environment, today released financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

    “This past year we surpassed $300 million in net service billing representing nearly 30% year-over-year growth and approximately 31% compound annual growth since 2020, the year before our May 2021 initial public offering,” said Gary Bowman, Chairman and CEO of Bowman. “We remain focused on becoming one of the 50 largest domestic engineering firms and are continually working to optimize the utilization of our resources as we advance toward this goal. Our pipeline of opportunities, including both new and existing customer assignments and prospective acquisitions, is healthy, and the significant public funding available for infrastructure projects provides a positive outlook for the future.”

    “During 2023 we completed 11 acquisitions representing approximately $60 million in annualized net service billing,” continued Bowman. “We added new customers and grew our relationships with existing customers while expanding our geographic footprint and increasing our ability to gain both market-share and wallet-share through the introduction of adjacent service offerings and leading-edge geospatial solutions. We remain committed to our fully integrated operating model as we continue to weave together a diverse mix of acquired organizations into one common culture. We are confident about our long-term prospects and believe our approach to growth will continue to deliver shareholder value.”

    Financial highlights for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022:

    • Gross contract revenue of $93.0 million, compared to $75.6 million, a 23% increase

    Impact of IRC Section 174 Research & Development Tax Expense Deductibility

    The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) drastically altered IRC Section 174 and the treatment of Research and Experimental (“R&E”) expenditures for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021. Prior to this alteration, under IRC Sec. 174 businesses were permitted to deduct the full amount of R&E expenditures as an expense in the taxable year in which they were incurred. As amended, IRC Sec. 174 eliminated the ability for U.S. businesses to deduct their R&E expenditures as an expense, instead requiring businesses to capitalize these expenses and amortize them over a period of five years resulting in acceleration of tax remittance. The Company maintains an uncertain tax position (“UTP”) with respect to its position that its R&E expenses are not subject to the altered IRC Sec. 174 treatment based on specific facts and circumstances. The Company’s tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and full-year 2023 include a $4.6 million accrual relating to the UTP and the Company is carrying approximately $38 million of associated deferred tax assets. On January 31, 2024, the US House of Representatives passed HR 7024, the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024, on a bi-partisan basis, which, among other things, restores U.S. taxpayers’ ability to deduct currently, and retroactively, domestic R&E costs paid or incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2021, and before January 1, 2026. If HR 7024 is adopted by the U.S. Senate and the President, the Company would reverse its UTP related liability, tax expense and deferred tax assets.

    Activity Under Stock Repurchase Program:

    In November 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program ("2022 Stock Repurchase Program") to repurchase up to $10.0 million of the Company’s common stock. As previously disclosed, during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 the Company repurchased a total of 28,704 shares of its common stock at an average price of $25.94. The 2022 Stock Repurchase Program expired on November 10, 2023. On November 17, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new $10.0 million repurchase program ("2023 Stock Repurchase Program"). As of March 11, 2024, the Company has $10.0 million remaining under the 2023 Stock Repurchase Program.

    Non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings per Share:

    In connection with the release of financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company introduced the new non-GAAP financial metric of adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”). To calculate Adjusted EPS, the Company adds back non-reoccurring expenses specific to acquisitions, non-cash stock compensation expense associated with pre-IPO grants, and other expenses not in the ordinary course of business. With respect to the elimination of any non-cash stock compensation expense, the Company computes an adjusted tax expense or benefit which accounts for the elimination of any periodic windfall or shortfall tax effects resulting from the difference between grant date fair value and vest date value. With respect to all other eliminations, the Company applies its average marginal statutory tax rate, currently 25.6%, to derive the tax adjustment associated with the elimination of these expenses. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EPS to GAAP EPS, both basic and diluted, is included with this press release for reference.

    For the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022:

    • Basic Adjusted EPS was $0.33 compared to $0.44
    • Diluted Adjusted EPS was $0.31 compared to $0.41

    For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022:

    • Basic Adjusted EPS was $1.12 compared to $1.46
    • Diluted Adjusted EPS was $1.03 compared to $1.36

    Updating FY 2024 Guidance

    The Company is adjusting its full year 2024 outlook for net service billing2 to be in the range of $363 to $378 million and Adjusted EBITDA2 in the range of $59 to $65 million. The current outlook for 2024 is based on completed acquisitions as of the date of this release and does not include contributions from any future acquisitions. Management discusses the Company’s acquisition pipeline and its prospective impact during regularly scheduled earnings calls.

    “Our 2024 forecast assumes uneven growth in net service billing from first to third quarter with an accommodation for a modest seasonal impact during the fourth quarter,” said Bruce Labovitz, Chief Financial Officer at Bowman. “Generally speaking, we have found that it can take acquisitions a couple of months to return to normal net service billing levels due to the unusual demands of immediate post-closing integration. We reiterate that when acquisitions are added to guidance, we include a pro-rated amount of announced annualized net service billing run rate that is based on the timing of closing and anticipated integration related revenue disruptions.”

    Q4 2023 Earnings Webcast

    Bowman will host an earnings webcast to discuss the results of the quarter as follows:

    Date: March 12, 2024
    Time: 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time
    Hosts: Gary Bowman, Chairman and CEO and Bruce Labovitz, Chief Financial Officer
