LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2025-- Tutor Perini Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: TPC), a leading civil, building and specialty construction company, today reported strong results for the first quarter of 2025 (see attached tables).

Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was $1.25 billion, up 19% compared to $1.05 billion for the same period in 2024. The Company experienced solid year-over-year growth across all three segments, primarily driven by increased project execution activities on certain newer, higher-margin projects, all of which have significant scope of work remaining.

Income from construction operations for the first quarter of 2025 was $65.3 million, up 34% compared to $48.8 million for the first quarter of 2024. Net income attributable to the Company for the first quarter of 2025 was $28.0 million, or $0.53 diluted EPS, up 77% compared to $15.8 million, or EPS of $0.30, for the first quarter of 2024. The Company's EPS result for the first quarter of 2025 was the second-best EPS result of any first quarter.

For the first quarter of 2025, the Company generated $22.9 million of cash from operating activities compared to $98.3 million in the same period last year. The larger cash flow in the prior-year period included a substantial amount of collections related to dispute resolutions. The Company's first-quarter operating cash flow has historically been its lowest of the year due to seasonality. However, the Company's operating cash flow for the first quarter of 2025 was solid and one of the best results of any first quarter. The Company expects continued strong operating cash flow for 2025.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company voluntarily repaid the remaining $121.9 million outstanding balance of the Term Loan B, which largely contributed to a 24% reduction in the Company's total debt as compared to total debt at the end of 2024.

Record Backlog

The Company booked $2.0 billion of new awards and contract adjustments in the first quarter of 2025, reflecting its ongoing success in capturing significant new project opportunities. As a result of the strong new awards activity, the Company's backlog grew to a new record of $19.4 billion as of March 31, 2025, up 94% compared to the backlog at the end of the first quarter of 2024. The most significant new awards in the first quarter of 2025 included:

  • The $1.18 billionManhattan Tunnel project in New York;
  • $241 million of additional funding for the Apra Harbor Waterfront Repairs project in Guam;
  • $111 million of additional funding for certain healthcare facility projects in California;
  • An electrical project in Texas valued at more than $100 million; and
  • $99 million of additional funding for an existing electrical project in Texas.

The Company expects its backlog will remain strong in 2025, as it has already won more than $500 million of other new awards in the second quarter of 2025 and expects that several other Building segment projects currently in the preconstruction phase will soon advance to the construction phase. In the Civil segment, the Company recently bid the multi-billion-dollar Midtown Bus Terminal Replacement project in New York and is awaiting contractor selection by the owner.

Tutor Perini expects to continue bidding selectively on various other project opportunities this year that will drive long-term shareholder value. The Company anticipates that it will continue to win its share of new projects this year and over the next several years.

Management Remarks

Gary Smalley, Tutor Perini's Chief Executive Officer and President, commented, "We've delivered an outstanding start to 2025 with strong revenue, operating income, earnings, operating cash flow, and backlog growth. Our confidence in Tutor Perini's outlook is demonstrated by our increased EPS guidance for 2025. As we continue to execute work in our record backlog and as various megaprojects progress from the design to the construction phase, we believe strongly in our ability to drive exceptional earnings and cash flow over the next several years."

Outlook and Guidance

Based on the Company's strong year-to-date results in 2025 and confidence in its performance trajectory for the remainder of the year, the Company is increasing its 2025 EPS guidance to be in the range of $1.60 to $1.95, up from earlier guidance of $1.50 to $1.90. The Company's increased guidance continues to factor in a significant amount of contingency for various unknown or unexpected outcomes and developments in 2025. Based on its current projections, the Company's preliminary EPS estimates for 2026 and 2027 are more than double its EPS guidance for 2025.

The Company continues to see strong demand for its services, driven by well-funded state, local and federal customers that have numerous large-scale, high-priority infrastructure projects planned over the next several years, as well as by certain commercial customers that continue to advance projects for new or renovated buildings in end markets such as healthcare, education, and hospitality and gaming.

Tutor Perini does not currently anticipate any significant impact from recently imposed tariffs or the curtailment of federal funding programs, but continues to closely monitor these issues.

These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential impacts on the Company. While the Company’s expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and the Company believes there is a reasonable basis for them, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the Company) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: unfavorable outcomes of existing or future litigation or dispute resolution proceedings against us or customers (project owners, developers, general contractors, etc.), subcontractors or suppliers, as well as failure to promptly recover significant working capital invested in projects subject to such matters; revisions of estimates of contract risks, revenue or costs; economic factors such as inflation, tariffs, the timing of new awards, or the pace of project execution, which has resulted and may continue to result in losses or lower than anticipated profit; contract requirements to perform extra work beyond the initial project scope, which has and in the future could result in disputes or claims and adversely affect our working capital, profits and cash flows; risks and other uncertainties associated with estimates and assumptions used to prepare our financial statements; an inability to obtain bonding could have a negative impact on our operations and results; a significant slowdown or decline in economic conditions, such as those presented during a recession; inability to attract and retain our key officers, and to adequately plan for their succession, and hire and retain personnel required to execute and perform on our contracts; failure to meet contractual schedule requirements, which could result in higher costs and reduced profits or, in some cases, exposure to financial liability for liquidated damages and/or damages to customers, as well as damage to our reputation; possible systems and information technology interruptions and breaches in data security and/or privacy; the impact of inclement weather conditions, disasters and other catastrophic events outside our control on projects; decreases in the level of federal, state and local government spending for infrastructure and other public projects; risks related to our international operations, such as uncertainty of U.S. government funding, as well as economic, political, regulatory and other risks, including risks of loss due to acts of war, labor conditions, and other unforeseeable events in countries where we do business, which could adversely affect our revenue and earnings; client cancellations of, delays in, or reductions in scope under contracts reported in our backlog, as well as prospective project opportunities, including as a result of potential impacts from recently implemented tariffs or other government-related mandates; increased competition and failure to secure new contracts; risks related to government contracts and related procurement regulations; failure of our joint venture partners to perform their venture obligations, which could impose additional financial and performance obligations on us, resulting in reduced profits or losses and/or reputational harm; violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws; significant fluctuations in the market price of our common stock, which could result in substantial losses for stockholders and potentially subject us to securities litigation; failure to meet our obligations under our debt agreements (especially in a high interest rate environment); downgrades in our credit ratings; public health crises, such as COVID-19, have adversely impacted, and could in the future adversely impact, our business, financial condition and results of operations by, among other things, delaying the timing of project bids and/or awards and the timing of dispute resolutions and associated collections; physical and regulatory risks related to climate change; impairment of our goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets; the exertion of influence over the Company by our executive chairman due to his position and significant ownership interests; and other risks and uncertainties discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed on February 27, 2025 and in other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
