Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results

Revenues from construction operations were$1.1 billionfor the fourth quarter of 2011, as compared to$688.0 millionfor the fourth quarter of 2010. Net income was$24.0 millionfor the fourth quarter of 2011, as compared to$18.9 millionfor the fourth quarter of 2010. Diluted earnings per common share were$0.50for the fourth quarter of 2011, as compared to$0.40for the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase in operating results from the fourth quarter of 2010 primarily reflects the contributions from acquisitions the Company completed in 2011.

Revenues from construction operations were$3.7 billionfor the year endedDecember 31, 2011, as compared to$3.2 billionfor the year endedDecember 31, 2010.

The decrease in operating results from the year ended 2010 primarily reflects the substantial completion of several successful, large public works and hospitality and gaming projects and increased interest expense associated with our senior unsecured notes, term loanand borrowings under our revolving facility, offset by contributions from the acquisitions the Company completed in 2011.

AtDecember 31, 2011, working capital was$556.8 million, a decrease of$36.1 millionfrom$592.9 millionatDecember 31, 2010. As ofDecember 31, 2011, the Company had$297.0 millionavailable to borrow under its credit facilities. The Company believes its financial position and credit arrangements are sufficient to support the Company’s current backlog and anticipated new work.

Backlog at$6.1 billion

The backlog of uncompleted construction work atDecember 31, 2011was$6.1 billion, a decrease of$0.3 billionfrom backlog reported atSeptember 30, 2011and an increase of$1.8 billionfrom the$4.3 billionreported atDecember 31, 2010. The$1.8 billionnet increase is attributable to backlog acquired through acquisitions of$2.6 billion, and new awards and adjustments to contracts in process which added$2.9 billion, offset by revenue earned during the year. Additions to new work during the fourth quarter of 2011 include a$176 millionairport runway expansion project inFlorida, a$64 millioncontract for electrical work on a mass transit station at theWorld Trade Centersite inNew York, a$31 millionelectrical subcontract for a central energy plant inTexasand a$31 millionmedical office building and parking garage inMississippi.

Ronald Tutor , Chairman and CEO, said: “Momentum in the construction services market is growing. During 2012 we expect to add significant civil work to backlog and, led by the recently announced Hudson Yards development project, to grow ourEast Coastbuilding business. Our integrated service capabilities, enhanced through the acquisitions made last year, represent a competitive advantage that we believe will contribute to additional large scale awards in 2012.”
