Third Quarter 2025 Results Overview

Revenue was $2,178.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $529.3 million, or 32.1%, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to growth in the Energy and Utilities segments. Operating income was $137.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $37.5 million, or 37.6%, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher revenue in both segments, partially offset by lower margins. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 10.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 12.0% for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily a result of lower margins in both segments.

During the third quarter of 2025, net income was $94.6 million compared to net income of $58.4 million in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was $1.73 for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $1.07 for the same period in 2024. The increase in net income and diluted earnings can be largely attributed to higher operating income from higher revenue and lower interest expense, partially offset by lower margins. Adjusted net income was $103.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $66.7 million for the same period in 2024. Adjusted diluted EPS was $1.88 for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $1.22 for the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was $168.7 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $127.7 million for the same period in 2024.

Operating performance by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 were as follows:

Utilities Segment (“Utilities”): Revenue increased by $71.3 million, or 10.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased activity in our power delivery, gas operations and communications markets. Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by $2.1 million, or 3.7% compared to the same period in 2024 driven primarily by lower storm response activity in the power delivery business compared to the prior year, partially offset by higher revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 11.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, down from 13.1% for the same period in 2024.

Energy Segment (“Energy”): Revenue increased by $474.8 million, or 47.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to growth in renewable energy and industrial activity, partially offset by lower pipeline activity. Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $34.3 million, or 46.2%, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher revenue. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 10.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 11.0% in the same period in 2024, attributable to a more favorable impact from the close out of multiple renewables and industrial projects in 2024. In addition, we experienced increased costs in 2025 on certain renewables projects due in part to unfavorable weather conditions.

Other Income Statement Information

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $97.7 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $0.4 million compared to 2024. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 4.5% in the third quarter of 2025, compared to 5.9% in the third quarter of 2024 driven by higher revenue and cost control efforts to leverage administrative costs in 2025.

Interest expense, net for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, was $7.0 million compared to $17.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The decrease of $10.9 million was primarily due to lower average debt balances and lower average interest rates. Interest expense for the full year 2025 is expected to be between $30 million and $32 million.

The effective tax rate on income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, of 28.5% differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible components of per diem expenses. We recorded income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, of $89.0 million compared to $51.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $37.2 million increase in income tax expense is primarily driven by higher pre-tax income.

Outlook

The Company is raising its estimates for the year ending December 31, 2025. Net income is expected to be between $260.5 million and $271.5 million, or $4.75 and $4.95 per fully diluted share. Adjusted EPS is estimated in the range of $5.35 to $5.55 per fully diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2025 is expected to range from $510 million to $530 million.

The Company is targeting SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue in the mid-to-high 5.0% range for the full year 2025. The Company’s targeted gross margins by segment are 10.0% to 12.0% for both the Utilities and Energy segments for the full year 2025. The Company expects its effective tax rate for 2025 to be approximately 28.5%, but it may vary depending on the mix of states in which the Company operates.

Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to “Non-GAAP Measures” and Schedules 1, 2, 3, and 4 below for the definitions and reconciliations. The guidance provided above constitutes forward-looking statements, which are based on current economic conditions and estimates, and the Company does not include other potential impacts, such as changes in accounting or unusual items. Supplemental information relating to the Company’s financial outlook is posted in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.prim.com.

Total backlog as of September 30, 2025, was $11.1 billion, including Utilities backlog of approximately $6.6 billion and Energy backlog of $4.5 billion. The decrease in total backlog of $0.8 million from year end 2024 is primarily due to the timing of fixed backlog awards in the Energy segment, partially offset by an increase in Utilities MSA backlog.

The decrease in total backlog sequentially from June 30, 2025, was driven by a decrease in fixed backlog, partially offset by an increase in Utilities MSA backlog.

Backlog, including estimated MSA revenue, should not be considered a comprehensive indicator of future revenue. Revenue from certain projects where scope, and therefore contract value, is not adequately defined, is not included in fixed backlog. At any time, any project may be cancelled at the convenience of the Company’s customers.

Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation

At September 30, 2025, the Company had $431.4 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. In the third quarter of 2025, capital expenditures were $34.5 million, including $23.7 million in construction equipment purchases. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $108.2 million, including $64.2 million in construction equipment purchases. For the remaining three months of 2025, capital expenditures are expected to total between $15.0 million and $20.0 million, which includes $5.0 million to $10.0 million for equipment.

The Company also announced that on October 29, 2025, its Board of Directors declared an $0.08 per share cash dividend to stockholders of record on December 31, 2025, payable on approximately January 15, 2026. During the three months ended September 30, 2025 the Company did not purchase any shares of common stock under its share purchase program. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $150.0 million available for purchase under the share purchase program. The share purchase plan expires on April 30, 2028.

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Primoris uses earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS as important supplemental measures of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes these measures enable investors, analysts, and management to evaluate Primoris’ performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. In addition, management believes these measures are useful in comparing the Company’s operating results with those of its competitors. The non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Primoris’ method of calculating these measures may be different from methods used by other companies, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies that do not use the same methodology as Primoris. Please see the accompanying tables to this press release for reconciliations of the following non‐GAAP financial measures for Primoris’ current and historical results: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS.
