Management Commentary

鈥淭he third quarter marks our fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth across all our segments, which we consider a testament to the strength and resilience of our business,鈥� said CPH CEO Bruce Young. 鈥淒riving these results was strong organic growth in our commercial end-market due to volume and rate improvements, the contribution from recent accretive acquisitions, and continued momentum in our Eco-Pan business. Rising inflation, particularly in diesel fuel, was a headwind that persisted in the quarter, but we remained successful in recalibrating our rates.

鈥淲e also continued to execute upon our organic and M&A growth strategies. In late July, we undertook a greenfield expansion strategy in Washington D.C., an area that has experienced robust听growth over the past decade.听In August, we strengthened our presence with the acquisition of Coastal Carolina Pumping, Inc., the largest concrete pumping service provider in the Carolinas. We expect to deliver value creation using the same proven approach we have taken with our previous acquisitions.

鈥淗eading into the final quarter of our fiscal year, we expect our sales momentum to continue due to the strength in our end-markets and our diverse business model. While inflationary headwinds have started to ease somewhat since the end of our third quarter, we believe we have proven the inelastic nature of our high-value service, which has us well positioned for 2023 and beyond.鈥�

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results

Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 increased 29.4% to $104.5 million compared to $80.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to double-digit growth across each of the Company鈥檚 segments. Excluding an aggregate of $7.2 million of revenue contribution from the acquisitions of Hi-Tech Concrete Pumping Services (Hi-Tech) and Pioneer Concrete Pumping Service, Inc. (Pioneer) in the third quarter of 2022, organic revenue growth for the quarter increased 20.4% to $97.3 million.

Gross profit in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 increased 16.4% to $43.3 million compared to $37.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. Gross margin was 41.5% compared to 46.1% in the prior year quarter due to inflationary pressures, primarily in the price of diesel fuel.

G&A expenses in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $27.2 million compared to $25.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. As a percentage of revenue, G&A expenses improved to 26.1% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to听30.9% in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to: (1) higher labor and health insurance costs of approximately $1.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, primarily due to additional personnel that joined the Company as a result of recent acquisitions and (2) an additional $0.4 million related to fluctuations in the Pound Sterling. This was offset slightly by lower amortization of intangible assets expense of $1.2 million.

Net income available to common shareholders in the third quarter of 2022 improved to $14.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share,听compared to net income of $4.1 million or $0.07 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. The improvement was due to the increase in gross profit and a $7.2 million year-over-year change in fair value of warrant liabilities, which reflected a gain of $7.4 million in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to a gain of $0.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 increased 14.7% to $32.6 million compared to $28.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 31.2% compared to 35.2% in the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to inflationary pressures.

Liquidity

On July 31, 2022, the Company had debt outstanding of $391.9 million, net debt of $389.4 million and total available liquidity of $134.1 million. This reflects the amendment of the Company's existing ABL credit agreement during the third fiscal quarter to provide up to $160.0 million ($125.0 million previously) of commitments.

Segment Results

U.S. Concrete Pumping. Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 33.3% to $77.4 million compared to $58.0 million in the year-ago quarter. The improvement was primarily driven by revenue generated from Hi-Tech and Pioneer, which were acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022, respectively, which collectively contributed $7.2 million in revenue in the third quarter. Supplemental revenue growth was a result of organic improvements in volume and rate per hour increases. Net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 improved to $4.3 million compared to $1.8 million in the prior year third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 21.6% to $22.4 million compared to $18.4 million in the year-ago quarter.

U.K. Operations. Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 14.0% to $14.4 million compared to $12.7 million in the year-ago quarter. Excluding the impact from foreign currency fluctuations, revenue would have been up 28.4% from the prior year quarter. Net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $0.4 million, unchanged compared to the prior year third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $4.0 million compared to $4.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services. Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 26.6% to $12.8 million compared to $10.1 million in the year-ago quarter. The double-digit improvement was a result of organic growth, rate per hour improvements and continued pandemic recovery trends. Net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 improved to $2.0 million compared to $1.8 million in the prior year third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 6.5% to $5.7 million compared to $5.3 million in the year-ago quarter.

The Company鈥檚 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 鈥渆xpect,鈥� 鈥渆stimate,鈥� 鈥減roject,鈥� 鈥渂udget,鈥� 鈥渇orecast,鈥� 鈥渁nticipate,鈥� 鈥渋ntend,鈥� 鈥減lan,鈥� 鈥渕ay,鈥� 鈥渨ill,鈥� 鈥渃ould,鈥� 鈥渟hould,鈥� 鈥渂elieves,鈥� 鈥減redicts,鈥� 鈥減otential,鈥� 鈥渃ontinue,鈥� 鈥渙utlook鈥� and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company鈥檚 expectations with respect to future performance, including the Company's fiscal year 2022 outlook. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside the Company鈥檚 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 events related to these conditions, such as the ongoing war in Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic, on our business, including fluctuations in fuel costs; the outcome of any legal proceedings 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鈥檚 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

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (鈥淕AAP鈥�). The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company鈥檚 financial condition and results of operations. The Company鈥檚 management also uses this non-GAAP financial measure to compare the Company鈥檚 performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, determining incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in quarterly and annual financial reports provided to the Company鈥檚 board of directors. The Company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating the Company鈥檚 ongoing operating results and in comparing the Company鈥檚 financial results with competitors who also present similar non-GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, transaction expenses, loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation, other income, net, and other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA is not pro forma for acquisitions. 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鈥檚 senior notes 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 leverage and evaluate the Company鈥檚 consolidated balance sheet. See 鈥淣on-GAAP Measures (Reconciliation of Net Debt)鈥� below for a reconciliation of net debt to amounts outstanding under debt agreements calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Free cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less net replacement capital expenditures and cash paid for interest. Replacement capital expenditures are investments in replacing existing equipment. 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 taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Current and prospective investors should review the Company鈥檚 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鈥檚 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.
