Hill International, Inc. (NYSE:HIL) ("Hill" or the "Company"), the
global leader in managing construction risk, announced today its
financial results for the fourth quarter ("Q4 2020") and full year
ended December 31, 2020.
“After a difficult start to the year due to the global impact of
the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, we generated momentum
across our organization during the final three quarters of 2020 and
have entered 2021 with a great sense of optimism," said Hill Chief
Executive Officer Raouf Ghali. "We generated CFR of nearly $300
million, exceeded our gross margin estimate by over 100 bps, and
delivered strong growth in Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. We
managed our costs efficiently throughout 2020 and ended the year
with a cash and liquidity profile that ranked among the strongest
in Hill's recent history. We enjoyed another strong bookings year
in 2020, and are encouraged by both the level of new awards we have
secured thus far in 2021 and the outlook for additional new
business development activity. Although our consulting fee revenue
was negatively impacted by the pandemic due primarily to delayed
project starts that manifested during most of 2020, we believe that
many of these delayed projects will commence in 2021 as the effects
of the pandemic subside."
Mr. Ghali continued, "In 2020 we were awarded over $190 million
in global infrastructure awards. We believe that infrastructure
will be a key driver of economic recovery in a post-pandemic world
and we are well-positioned to capitalize on anticipated
stimulus-related spending in both the U.S. and the European Union.
These projects will likely emphasize creating a modern and
sustainable infrastructure focused on end markets such as transit,
aviation, power, housing and buildings - areas in which Hill has a
long and distinguished history of successful project completion. We
remain committed to growing our business, expanding our reach, and
delivering value to our stakeholders."
"We more than doubled our unrestricted cash position to $34.2
million compared to year end 2019 and ended the year with robust
free cash flow and a greatly improved liquidity profile," said Todd
Weintraub, Hill's Chief Financial Officer. "We also were able to
grow our adjusted EBITDA for 2020 by 12.4% over 2019 despite
COVID-19 related headwinds to our CFR."
Q4 2020 Financial Results Overview
Hill's consulting fee revenue ("CFR") declined
to $72.2 million in Q4 2020 from $76.8 million in the fourth
quarter of 2019 ("Q4 2019"), primarily due to delayed projects
starts and certain project suspensions due to the COVID-19
pandemic.
Selling, general, and administrative
("SG&A") expenses were $28.7 million, or 39.7% of CFR, compared
to $23.6 million, or 30.7% of CFR, in Q4 2019. This increase is due
to a net credit of $7.1 million received in Q4 2019 related to the
collection of a fully reserved receivable from a project in Libya.
Excluding this benefit, SG&A in Q4 2019 was $30.7 million, or
40.0% of CFR.
Operating profit for Q4 2020 was $6.3 million, a decrease from
operating profit of $10.3 million in Q4 2019, driven primarily by
the aforementioned collection of a reserved receivable in 2019 and
the effects of COVID-19 on CFR when compared to last year's fourth
quarter. Adjusted operating profit, a non-GAAP measure (see
definition and reconciliation below), improved to $5.9 million in
Q4 2020 from $2.8 million in Q4 2019.
Income tax expense in Q4 2020 rose to $4.4
million from an income tax benefit of $3.4 million in Q4 2019, due
primarily to the reversal of an accrual related to the former
claims business in 2019 and additional reserves recorded in 2020
related to uncertain tax positions.
Net loss attributable to Hill in Q4 2020 was
$1.8 million, and included a $1.4 million non-cash charge related
to the previously announced closure of Hill's Brazil operations
("the Brazil charge"). Net income attributable to Hill in Q4 2019
was $12.1 million and included a $7.1 million collection of an
outstanding receivable from Libya ("the Libya Receivable").
Adjusted net loss, a non-GAAP measure (see definition and
reconciliation in the table below), was $0.7 million in Q4 2020,
compared to adjusted net income of $4.6 million in Q4 2019. The
change from 2019 to 2020 was primarily due to the reversal of a tax
accrual in 2019 discussed above.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure (see
definition and reconciliation below), rose to $5.7 million in Q4
2020, compared to $4.0 million in Q4 2019.
2020 Financial Results
Overview
CFR for 2020 declined to $296.6 million from
$308.6 million, due to the factors described above.
SG&A decreased to $109.2 million in 2020 as
compared to $116.9 million in 2019 (excluding the Libya
receivable), reflecting the cost containment initiatives
implemented by Hill in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Operating profit was $10.5 million in 2020 as
compared to $18.5 million in 2019. Adjusted operating profit, a
non-GAAP measure (see definition and reconciliation below) improved
to $17.4 million from $12.9 million in 2019.
Income tax expense in 2020 was $7.1 million as
compared to an income tax benefit of $1.1 million in 2019, due
primarily to the same factors impacting Q4 2020 and 2019 discussed
above.
Net loss attributable to Hill was $8.2 million,
or $0.14 per share, in 2020, including the non-cash $5.5 million
Brazil charge. Net income was $14.1 million, or $0.25 per share, in
2019 and included the $7.1 million Libya Receivable. Adjusted net
income for 2020, a non-GAAP measure (see definition and
reconciliation below), was $4.2 million compared to $8.4 million in
2019.
Financial Condition and
Backlog
Net cash provided by operating activities rose
to $12.3 million at December 31, 2020 from
$10.0 million at December 31, 2019. Free cash flow, a
non-GAAP measure (see definition below), for 2020 was $10.4
million, which represents net cash provided by operating
activities, less $1.8 million in purchases of property and
equipment during the year. Free cash flow in 2019 was $6.0 million,
which represents net cash provided by operating activities, less
$3.9 million in property and equipment purchased during the
year.
Unrestricted cash at December 31, 2020 was
$34.2 million, a $1.0 million improvement from September 30,
2020 and a $18.3 million increase from December 31, 2019. The
Company had approximately $11.7 million in available and undrawn
credit facilities at December 31, 2020, compared to $3.3
million at September 30, 2020 and $14.7 million at
December 31, 2019. The Company's total liquidity at
December 31, 2020 was $45.9 million, as compared to $36.6
million at September 30, 2020 and $30.7 million at
December 31, 2019.
Cash flow generation and the increases in cash
and liquidity during the year were achieved primarily from the
Company's operating activities. The Company also benefited from the
deferral of certain payroll taxes permitted under the Coronavirus
Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES ACT") and the
suspension of the 401(k) matching for most of the year.
Backlog (which is a non-GAAP measure; see
definition below) was $666.7 million at December 31,
2020.
2021 Financial Guidance
CFR for 2021 is expected to range between $320 -
$330 million, representing an increase of between 8% - 11% from
2020. This increase is expected to consist of both new awards and
extensions of existing contracts.
SG&A for 2021 is expected to increase from
$109.2 million incurred in 2020. The outlook for SG&A reflects
an anticipated rebound in activity as the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic subside and the Company's activity increases. The Company
will continue to manage SG&A and its association with CFR
relative to the evolving effects of COVID-19.
Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 is expected to range
between $20 and $22 million, up from Adjusted EBITDA of $19.0
million for 2020 and representing growth of 5% - 16%.
Non-GAAP Measures
The following measures below are not measures of
financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") and should be considered in addition to and not
as a substitute for, or superior to, the related measure of
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Backlog
Backlog represents the Company's estimate of the
amount of uncompleted projects under contract and awards in-hand
that are expected to be recognized as CFR in future periods as a
component of total revenue. Hill's backlog is based upon the
binding nature of the underlying contract, commitment or letter of
intent, and other factors, including the economic, financial and
regulatory viability of the project and the likelihood of the
contract being extended, renewed or canceled. Although backlog
reflects business that the Company considers to be firm,
cancellations or scope adjustments may occur. It is an important
indicator of future performance and is used by the Company in
planning Hill's operational needs. Backlog is not a measure defined
in GAAP and the Company's methodology for determining backlog may
not be comparable to the methodology used by other companies in
determining their backlog.
Adjusted Operating Profit
(Loss)
Adjusted operating profit (loss) is operating
profit (loss), adjusted to exclude non-recurring items and non-cash
items including unrealized foreign currency exchange losses
(gains), share-based compensation and the write-off of leasehold
improvements previously included in property and equipment on the
Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company believes that
adjusted operating profit (loss) is useful to investors and other
external users of Hill's financial statements as a measure of a
company's core ongoing operations, without regard to generally
non-recurring items and non-cash activity.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Attributable
to Hill
Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Hill
is net income (loss) attributable to Hill, adjusted to exclude
non-recurring and non-cash items including unrealized foreign
currency exchange losses (gains), share-based compensation and the
write-off of leasehold improvements previously included in property
and equipment on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The
Company believes that adjusted net income (loss) attributable to
Hill is useful to investors and other external users of Hill's
financial statements as a measure of a company's operating
performance, without regard to generally non-recurring items and
non-cash activity.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization ("EBITDA"), in addition to operating profit, net
income, and other GAAP measures, is a useful indicator of Hill's
financial and operating performance. Investors should
recognize that EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled
measures of other companies. The Company believes that EBITDA
is useful to investors and other external users of Hill's financial
statements in evaluating its operating performance because EBITDA
is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating
performance without regard to items such as interest expense,
taxes, and depreciation and amortization, which can vary
substantially from company to company depending upon accounting
methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method
by which assets were acquired.
Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA, adjusted to exclude
the impact of certain items, including non-recurring, one-time
costs (as presented in the table below) and non-cash items such as
unrealized foreign currency exchange losses (benefit) and
share-based compensation expense. The Company believes that
adjusted EBITDA helps its investors and other external users of
Hill’s financial statements understanding of a company’s operating
performance, without regard to non-recurring and other non-cash
activity.
The Company does not provide a reconciliation of
its 2020 financial guidance for such non-GAAP measure to GAAP due
to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain
amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including
adjustments that could be made for non-recurring, one-time costs
and other charges reflected in its reconciliation of historic
numbers.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, includes net
cash provided by (used in) continuing operations, less purchases of
property and equipment. Free cash flow is a useful indicator that
provides additional perspective on Hill's ability to generate cash
that is available to the Company for taxes and other corporate
purposes. Investors should recognize that free cash flow might not
be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. This
measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a
substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance prepared
in accordance with GAAP.
