SYLMAR, Calif., Aug 04, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE: TPC) (the "Company"), a leading civil and building construction company, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Second Quarter and Six Month Results

Revenues from construction operations were $819.9 million for the second quarter of 2011, as compared to revenues of $914.4 million for the second quarter of 2010. Net income was $19.7 million for the second quarter of 2011, as compared to net income of $32.7 million for the second quarter of 2010. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.41 for the second quarter of 2011, as compared to diluted earnings per common share of $0.66 for the second quarter of 2010.

Revenues from construction operations were $1.44 billion for the first six months of 2011, as compared to revenues of $1.78 billion for the first six months of 2010. Net income was $26.6 million for the first six months of 2011, as compared to net income of $53.7 million for the first six months of 2010. Diluted earnings per common share were $0.56 for the first six months of 2011, as compared to diluted earnings per common share of $1.09 for the first six months of 2010.

The decrease in operating results from the second quarter and the first six months of 2010 primarily reflects the substantial completion of large public works and hospitality and gaming projects in the Building and Civil segments, an overall lag in the timing of the start-up of new work in backlog, and increased interest expense associated with the Company's senior unsecured notes, issued in October 2010.

At June 30, 2011, working capital was $699.4 million, an increase of $106.5 million from $592.9 million at December 31, 2010. On August 3, 2011, the Company amended its existing credit agreement, increasing the revolving credit facility by $40 million to $300 million and adding a new $200 million term loan to finance recent acquisitions. Any outstanding loans under the revolving credit facility mature in August 2016, while the term loan includes annual payments of principal and interest over a five-year period. The Company believes its financial position and credit arrangements are sufficient to support the Company's current backlog and anticipated new work.

Backlog at $5.0 billion

The backlog of uncompleted construction work at June 30, 2011 was $5.0 billion, an increase of $0.8 billion from backlog reported at March 31, 2011 and an increase of $0.7 billion from $4.3 billion reported at December 31, 2010. New contract awards and adjustments to contracts in process during the second quarter of 2011 added approximately $1.6 billion to backlog, which includes the addition of approximately $0.8 billion of backlog assumed through the acquisitions of Anderson Companies ("Anderson") and Frontier-Kemper Constructors, Inc. ("Frontier-Kemper"). Additions to new work during the second quarter of 2011 include a $147 million railway substation and structures in New York, an $86 million highway improvement project in Delaware, a $76 million courthouse in Philadelphia, and a $73 million aircraft parking apron at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam.

On July 1, 2011, subsequent to the completion of the second quarter, we acquired approximately $1.6 billion of backlog as a result of the acquisitions of Lunda Construction Company ("Lunda") and GreenStar Services Corporation ("GreenStar").

Outlook

Guidance for the full year of 2011 for revenues and diluted earnings per common share have been reduced to reflect current economic conditions resulting in reduced levels of new work acquired during the first half of 2011. Previously, revenues and earnings per share were estimated to be $4.2 to $4.7 billion and $2.20 to $2.40, respectively. Currently, revenues are estimated to be in the range of $3.6 to $3.9 billion and diluted earnings per common share are estimated to be in the range of $2.00 to $2.20 per share.

Ronald Tutor, Chairman and CEO, said: "During the past few months we wrapped up our major acquisition strategy, closing Anderson and Frontier-Kemper in the second quarter; and Lunda and GreenStar on July 1, 2011. With these recent acquisitions, we have now accomplished our goal to be more diversified in construction end markets and to have an expanded geographic reach with enhanced capabilities to self-perform more work for our customers. We believe the combined company is very well positioned to capitalize on opportunities with the expectation that the U.S. economy, and the associated impact on our industry, will improve in 2012. The acquisitions completed over the last 9 months are expected to be accretive this year and add an estimated $1.05 to $1.15 of earnings per share in fiscal 2012."
