SYLMAR, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE: TPC) (the “Company”), a leading civil and building construction company, today reported results for the third quarter of 2014.

Third-Quarter and Nine-Month Results

Revenues were $1.25 billion and $3.29 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to $1.03 billion and $3.08 billion for the same periods in 2013. Income from construction operations was $70.4 million and $177.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to $58.1 million and $133.6 million for the same periods in 2013. Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $35.7 million and $80.2 million, respectively, compared to net income of $23.8 million and $54.0 million for the same periods in 2013. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.74 and $0.73 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.50 and $0.49 for the same period in 2013. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.65 and $1.64 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.13 and $1.11 for the same period in 2013.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, revenues increased $220.3 million, or 21.4%, and $214.1 million, or 7.0%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year due primarily to increased activity on civil and building projects at Hudson Yards in New York, certain electrical and mechanical projects on the East Coast, certain bridge projects in the Midwest and New York, and certain large mass transit projects in California and New York. The increase was partially offset by decreased activity on hospitality and gaming projects in California, Arizona, Nevada, Louisiana, and Pennsylvania and healthcare projects in California. The increase in net income in the three months ended September 30, 2014 was due primarily to volume increases across all segments and an increase in the estimated recovery projected for a Building segment project due to agreements reached with our customer. The increase in net income in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due primarily to an overall increase in volume in our Civil segment and net favorable adjustments to anticipated recoveries associated with two legal rulings issued in the second quarter of 2014, as well as the increase in the estimated recovery mentioned above.

The Company used $82.0 million of cash from operating activities in the third quarter compared to cash generation of $27.5 million in the same period last year. The change in cash usage between the third quarters of 2014 and 2013 was primarily driven by the timing of payments across all segments. At September 30, 2014, working capital was $1.16 billion, an increase of $372.8 million from $787.4 million at December 31, 2013. The Company believes its financial position and available borrowing under existing credit arrangements are sufficient to support the Company’s current backlog and anticipated new work.

Backlog Increased to $8.1 Billion

The backlog of uncompleted construction work at September 30, 2014 was $8.1 billion, an increase of $1.2 billion, or 17.1%, from $6.9 billion reported at September 30, 2013. The strong increase in backlog since last year has been driven primarily by two large new mass transit projects in New York that benefited our Civil and Specialty Contractors segments, as well as a new multi-unit residential tower project in Florida and a new healthcare facility project in California, both of which benefited our Building segment. During the third quarter, new awards and adjustments to existing contracts together totaling approximately $1.6 billion were added to backlog. New awards included a $243 million runway reconstruction project in New York, a $211 million healthcare project in California, three bridge projects in Wisconsin and Minnesota collectively valued at $181 million, and a $112 million hospitality and gaming project in California.

Outlook and Guidance

Ronald Tutor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am very pleased with the Company’s third-quarter results, which were highlighted by strong revenue and backlog growth and increased operating income across all segments. This quarter marked our sixth consecutive quarter of increased backlog. With increasing demand for our services across all segments and limited competition for the larger complex projects we favor, we are well-positioned to continue our growth and success over the coming years.”

Based on the current outlook, the Company is maintaining its fiscal 2014 guidance, with revenue expected in the range of $4.5 billion to $4.7 billion and diluted EPS expected in the range of $2.20 to $2.40.
