Management Commentary

“In the third quarter, continued organic growth in our U.S. Concrete Waste Management business was offset by a series of factors that impacted volume-driven declines in our U.S. Concrete Pumping segment,” said CPH CEO Bruce Young. “Historic rainfall in Texas and across the southeast region, together with ongoing restrictive monetary policy, curtailed construction volumes for the quarter. Higher interest rates have impacted the timing of more rate-sensitive commercial projects, and higher commercial building vacancy rates have delayed project starts on new build projects. Meanwhile, our Concrete Waste Management business continued to grow at an impressive double-digit rate, driven by healthy market share growth and our ability to improve pricing. We expect the tailwinds in this business to continue."

“Despite the weaker overall demand environment, we continue to strengthen our balance sheet by paying down debt and preserving our free cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA margin. This speaks to our strong financial profile and unit economics, as well as our disciplined approach to managing our fleet. While we expect the demand environment to remain variable in the final quarter of our fiscal year, we believe our scale, the strength of our balance sheet and our robust liquidity has us positioned to drive strong shareholder returns as the commercial end market recovers.”

¹ Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt and leverage ratio are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a discussion of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this release and a reconciliation to their most comparable GAAP measures.

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results

Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $109.6 million compared to $120.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. The decrease was mostly attributable to a decline in the Company’s U.S. Concrete Pumping segment due to a slowdown in commercial construction work, an oversaturation of concrete pumps in certain markets and higher than normal rainfall throughout the quarter in certain markets. This was partially offset by continued strong growth in the Concrete Waste Management Services segment.

Gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $44.5 million compared to $49.5 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin was 40.6% compared to 41.0% in the prior year quarter, primarily related to lower revenue in the Company's U.S. Concrete Pumping segment and higher depreciation expense, offset by improved labor, fuel and repair and maintenance costs.

General and administrative expenses in the third quarter decreased to $27.9 million compared to $29.9 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was largely due to non-cash decreases in amortization expense of $1.0 million, stock-based compensation of $0.3 million and lower labor costs of approximately $0.8 million. As a percentage of revenue, G&A costs were 25.5% in the third quarter compared to 24.8% in the prior year quarter.

Net income in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $7.6 million compared to $10.3 million in the prior year quarter. Net income attributable to common shareholders in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 was $7.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $9.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 decreased to $31.6 million compared to $34.9 million in the prior year quarter due to the lower revenue and gross profit, as discussed above. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 28.8% compared to the prior year quarter at 28.9%.

Liquidity

On July 31, 2024, the Company had debt outstanding of $375.0 million, net debt of $348.7 million and total available liquidity of $236.3 million.

Segment Results

U.S. Concrete Pumping. Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased to $75.2 million compared to $87.3 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower volumes caused by a general slowdown in commercial construction work, mostly due to the price sensitive impact on project starts from high interest rates, oversaturation of concrete pumps in certain markets and higher than normal rainfall in the Company's southeast regions and historically high rainfall in the Company's Texas markets. Net income in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 decreased to $3.5 million compared to $3.8 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $20.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 compared to $22.7 million in the prior year quarter, largely driven by the revenue decline.

U.K. Operations. Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 decreased to $15.9 million compared to $17.3 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact from foreign currency translation, revenue was down 9% year-over-year due to lower volumes caused by a general slowdown in commercial construction work, mostly due to the impact from high interest rates. Net income in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 decreased to $0.9 million compared to $1.6 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $4.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 compared to $4.8 million in the prior year quarter due to lower volumes caused by a general slowdown in commercial construction work, mostly due to the impact from high interest rates, partially offset by a reduction in repair costs.

U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services. Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 increased 15% to $18.5 million compared to $16.1 million in the prior year quarter, driven by robust organic growth and pricing improvements. Net income in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 decreased to $3.1 million compared to $4.0 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 decreased 2% to $7.3 million compared to $7.5 million in the prior year quarter as inflationary increases in labor and higher corporate allocations more than offset the impact to net income and Adjusted EBITDA from the increase in revenue.

Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook

The Company now expects fiscal year 2024 revenue to range between $420.0 million and $430.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA to range between $108.0 million and $113.0 million and free cash flow² of at least $67.0 million. The Company expects to end fiscal year 2024 with a leverage ratio³ of approximately 3.0x.

² Free cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less net replacement capital expenditures and cash paid for interest.
³ Leverage ratio defined as net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA over the trailing four quarters.

Forward‐Looking Statements

This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s actual results may differ from expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as "expect," "estimate," "project," "budget," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "may," "will," "could," "should," "believes," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "outlook" and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s expectations with respect to future performance, including the Company's fiscal year 2024 outlook. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the adverse impact of recent inflationary pressures, global economic conditions and developments related to these conditions, such as fluctuations in fuel costs on our business; adverse weather conditions; the outcome of any legal proceedings, rulings or demand letters that may be instituted against or sent to the Company or its subsidiaries; the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; the ability to complete targeted acquisitions and to realize the expected benefits from completed acquisitions; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release presents Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt and free cash flow, all of which are important financial measures for the Company but are not financial measures defined by GAAP.

EBITDA is calculated by taking GAAP net income and adding back interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by taking EBITDA and adding back loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation, changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, other expense (income), net, goodwill and intangibles impairment and other adjustments. Other adjustments include non-recurring expenses, non-cash currency gains/losses, transaction expenses and interest income. Transaction expenses represent expenses for legal, accounting, and other professionals that were engaged in the completion of various acquisitions. Transaction expenses can be volatile as they are primarily driven by the size of a specific acquisition. As such, the Company excludes these amounts from Adjusted EBITDA for comparability across periods.

The Company believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends related to our financial condition and results of operations, and as a supplemental tool for investors to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with competitors who also present similar non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, these measures (1) are used in quarterly and annual financial reports and presentations prepared for management, our board of directors and investors, and (2) help management to determine incentive compensation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures exclude certain cash expenses that the Company is obligated to make. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently or may not calculate it at all, which limits the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as comparative measures. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue for the period presented. See below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Net debt is calculated as all amounts outstanding under debt agreements (currently this includes the Company’s term loan and revolving line of credit balances, excluding any offsets for capitalized deferred financing costs) measured in accordance with GAAP less cash. Cash is subtracted from the GAAP measure because it could be used to reduce the Company’s debt obligations. A limitation associated with using net debt is that it subtracts cash and therefore may imply that there is less Company debt than the most comparable GAAP measure indicates. CPH believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors in order to monitor the Company’s leverage and evaluate the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. See "Non-GAAP Measures (Reconciliation of Net Debt)" below for a reconciliation of Net Debt to amounts outstanding under debt agreements calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of net debt to Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing four quarters. The Company believes its leverage ratio measures its ability to service its debt and its ability to make capital expenditures. Additionally, the leverage ratio is a standard measurement used by investors to gauge the creditworthiness of an institution.

Free cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less net replacement capital expenditures and cash paid for interest. This measure is not a substitute for cash flow from operations and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since certain non-discretionary expenditures, such as debt servicing payments, are not deducted from the measure. CPH believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors in order to monitor and evaluate the cash flow yield of the business.

The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and net debt to the applicable most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. However, the Company has not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance range and free cash flow range included in this press release to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the lack of predictability regarding the various reconciling items such as provision for income tax expense and depreciation and amortization.

Current and prospective investors should review the Company’s audited annual and unaudited interim financial statements, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA, net debt and free cash flow differently and therefore these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income (Loss)

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company moved certain assets and associated revenues and expenses, which were previously categorized in the Company's Other activities, into the U.S. Concrete Pumping segment in order to better align their placement with the manner in which the Company now allocates resources and measures performance. As a result, segment results for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In addition, in order to appropriately distribute the use of corporate resources and better align measures with segment performance, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company is no longer adding back intercompany allocations to segment Adjusted EBITDA. The Company recast of segment results for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 is included below:
