CEO Remarks and Outlook
“In the third quarter we delivered 6% revenue growth and a remarkable 56% increase in diluted EPS. Our focus on margin expansion continues to drive profitability growth well in excess of revenue growth. Gross profit margins of 21.9% marked a new record, and we continue to look for opportunities to drive further expansion,” stated Joe Cutillo, Sterling’s Chief Executive Officer. “We closed the third quarter with combined backlog of $2.37 billion, which was in line with prior year levels. What the backlog metrics do not capture is that our business has moved toward large, multi-phase projects. As a result, we have built a pipeline of high probability future phase work that now totals over half a billion dollars. Our operating cash flow generation in the quarter was again excellent at $15200萬, driving our net cash position to $32600萬, and supporting share repurchases of $2000萬 in the quarter. Our business is performing very well and we feel great about the opportunities ahead.”
Mr. Cutillo continued, “In E-Infrastructure Solutions, we achieved 89% operating income growth as operating margins expanded over 1,100 basis points to reach 25.8%. This excellent margin profile reflects our shift toward large mission-critical projects, including data centers and manufacturing. E-Infrastructure revenue increased 4% in the quarter, driven by strength in data center work, which more than offset a tough revenue comparison in the manufacturing market and some continued softness in the small project market. Notably, data center-related revenue increased approximately 90% in the quarter and now represents over 50% of segment backlog.
Transportation Solutions had another excellent quarter, delivering 18% revenue growth and 28% operating profit growth. The transportation markets are the strongest that they have been in our company’s history, and we still have two and a half years remaining under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) authorization.
