Management Commentary

"We delivered another strong performance in the second quarter with revenue increasing 7% to $205 million and Adjusted EBITDA doubling to $11 million from the second quarter last year. Sequentially, results were also strong with revenue up 9% over the first quarter and Adjusted EBITDA up 34%. Our results were primarily driven by new contract awards in both segments and reflect our commitment to disciplined, profitable growth," said Travis Boone, Chief Executive Officer of Orion Group Holdings.

"We continue to see strong demand across the markets we serve. For the first six months of the year, we grew our backlog over the first half of 2024 with high-quality, mission critical projects. Our opportunity pipeline grew from $16 billion last quarter to $18 billion today, fueled by diverse growth drivers with multiple sources of public and private funding, which gives us continued confidence in our plans for growth. In our Marine segment, we see robust opportunities resulting from the U.S. Navy's deterrence strategy in the Pacific, port expansions and maintenance, coastal rehabilitation and energy infrastructure. In our Concrete segment, demand from the data center sector remains exceptionally strong, and we continue to secure a healthy share of opportunities coming to market with an expanding base of clients."

"As we enter the second half of the year, we are optimistic about our outlook. We are well positioned to capitalize on the opportunities before us with the right team in place to execute on the next phase of our growth strategy, an outstanding safety record, and high barriers to entry that limit competition. With the majority of our 2025 work under contract as of the end of the quarter, we are pleased to reaffirm our full year 2025 financial guidance," concluded Boone.

Second Quarter 2025 Results

Contract revenues were $205.3 million, up 7% from $192.2 million in the second quarter last year and up 9% from $188.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. The year-over-year and sequential increases in contract revenues were primarily due to new awards and higher volume across the Marine and Concrete segments.

Gross profit was $25.8 million, up 41% from $18.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 and up 12% from $23.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increases in gross profit were primarily driven by increased revenue, improved operational performance on Marine projects, and reduced indirect expenses, partially offset by favorable concrete project close-outs in 2024 that did not reoccur in 2025.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $22.8 million, up from $21.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to increased spending to support business growth.

GAAP net income for the second quarter was $0.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $6.6 million, or a loss of $0.20 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter doubled to $11.0 million from $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 and was up 34% from $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. Both the comparative and sequential increases were driven by revenue growth and gross profit expansion.

Backlog Definition

Backlog consists of projects under contract that have either (a) not been started, or (b) are in progress but are not yet complete. The Company cannot guarantee that the revenue implied by its backlog will be realized, or, if realized, will result in earnings. Backlog can fluctuate from period to period due to the timing and execution of contracts. The typical duration of the Company's projects ranges from three to nine months on shorter projects to multiple years on larger projects. The Company's backlog at any point in time includes both revenue it expects to realize during the next twelve-month period as well as revenue it expects to realize in future years.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the financial measures "adjusted net income/loss," "adjusted earnings/loss per share," "EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted EBITDA margin."  These measurements are "non-GAAP financial measures" under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Regulation G. The non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies that use similarly titled measures. By reporting such non-GAAP financial information, the Company does not intend to give such information greater prominence than comparable GAAP financial information. Investors are urged to consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to and not in substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted net income/loss and adjusted earnings/loss per share should not be viewed as an equivalent financial measure to net income/loss or earnings/loss per share. Adjusted net income/loss and adjusted earnings/loss per share exclude certain items that management believes are one-time items or items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. The Company believes these adjusted financial measures are a useful supplement to earnings/loss calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Orion Group Holdings defines EBITDA as net income/loss before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting EBITDA for certain items that management believes are one-time items or items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA for the period by contract revenues for the period. The GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is net income, while the GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA margin is operating margin, which represents operating income divided by contract revenues. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are used internally to evaluate current operating expense, operating efficiency, and operating profitability on a variable cost basis, by excluding the depreciation and amortization expenses, primarily related to capital expenditures and acquisitions, and net interest and tax expenses. Additionally, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information regarding the Company's ability to meet future debt service and working capital requirements while providing an overall evaluation of the Company's financial condition. In addition, EBITDA is used internally for incentive compensation purposes. The Company includes EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to provide transparency to investors as they are commonly used by investors and others in assessing performance. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have certain limitations as analytical tools and should not be used as a substitute for operating margin, net income, cash flows, or other data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of the Company's profitability or liquidity.

Past performance is not necessarily an indicator of future results. Considering these and other uncertainties, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this press release should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the Company's plans, estimates, forecasts, goals, intentions, or objectives will be achieved or realized.
