Analyst · Imperial. Your line is open
Thank you, Mark and thanks for joining us this morning. For the full year 2015, we reported a net loss of approximately $8.1 million or $0.30 diluted loss per share. These results compared with net income of $6.9 million or $0.25 per diluted share profit in the prior year period. For the year 2015, contract revenue was $466.5 million, of which our Heavy Civil Marine Construction segment generated approximately $347 million and our Commercial Concrete Construction segment generated approximately $119 million. Within the Heavy Civil Marine Construction segment, approximately 60% of revenue was generated from federal, state and local government agencies. About 40% was generated from the private sector. This compares to 43% being generated from federal, state and local government agencies and 57% from the private sector in the prior year period. For our Commercial Concrete segment, nearly 100% of our revenue was generated from the private sector. Consolidated EBITDA for the full year 2015 was $20.6 million, which compares to EBITDA of $34.2 million in the prior year period. For 2015, we bid on approximately $1.4 billion worth of opportunities in the Heavy Civil Marine Construction segment and we are successful on approximately $324 million, which resulted at 23% win rate for the full year 2015 and a book-to-bill ratio of 0.94x. Within the Commercial Concrete segment, we bid on approximately $1.2 billion worth of opportunities in 2015 and were successful in approximately $264 million, which resulted in 22% win rate for the full year and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1x. Overall, we are pleased with the level of opportunities we had in 2015 and we remain optimistic given the level of bid opportunities we see for 2016. Additionally, we continue to see pockets of improvement in pricing and we are hopeful more widespread improvement will continue going forward. As of December 31, 2015, we had total backlog of work under contract of $357.6 million, of which $194.3 million is attributable to the Heavy Civil Marine Construction segment and $163.3 million was attributable to the Commercial Concrete segment. We currently have approximately $568 million worth of bids outstanding, of which $206 billion are related to the Heavy Civil Marine Construction segment and $362 million are related to the Commercial Concrete segment. Currently, we are the apparent low bidder or have been awarded subsequent to the end of the quarter an additional $82 million worth of opportunities. SG&A expense for the full year 2015 was $47.7 million, an increase of $13 million as compared with the prior year period. This increase was primarily a result of the addition of TAS. With this in mind, we expect full year 2016 SG&A expense to be approximately 10% of revenues. Now turning to the balance sheet, as of December 31, 2015, we had approximately $1.3 million of cash on hand after making unscheduled payments of $35 million during the quarter on our credit facility. As of December 31, 2015, we had access to approximately $50 million under our revolving line of credit with approximately $110 million in total debt outstanding. Subsequent to the end of the year, we drew $22 million on our revolving line of credit to fund working capital needs. We continue to make excellent – maintain excellent relationships with our lenders and I am confident that our cash position is adequate for general business requirements and to service our debt. Please keep in mind our leverage ratio covenants that’s down in the first quarter of 2016. We will continue to monitor our covenants in light of 2015 results and projected performance in the future and will engage our lenders when the need arises. Additionally, our bonding program remains solid and is more than adequate to support our bid activities. Overall, we are pleased with our financial position and remains focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet. While 2015 was a challenging year for Orion Marine Group, the international – the internal improvements to our operations and the acquisition of TAS led to strong foundation for the future. The continued strength throughout our end markets give us optimism that improve results in 2016 is attainable. While we continued to monitor our markets closely for any changes in bid pricing and overall opportunities, we remain confident in our previously stated 2016 guidance. As Mark mentioned, we believe we have corrected any issues that arose in 2015 and we are well positioned for success in 2016 and beyond. With that, I will turn the call back over to Drew to begin the Q&A portion of the call.
