NV5 Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVEE) ("NV5" or the
"Company"), a provider of technology, conformity
assessment, and consulting solutions, today reported financial
results for the first quarter ended April 2, 2022.
"NV5 delivered a record first quarter,
generating double-digit growth in gross revenues, net income,
Adjusted EBITDA, and earnings per share as a result of NV5’s
strategy and business model. Growth in the quarter was led by
strong performances in the utility services, testing and
inspection, environmental, and energy efficiency businesses. We
enter the second quarter with a strong backlog and pipeline to
build upon our growth in 2022 and are increasing our full-year
guidance," said Dickerson Wright, PE, Chairman and CEO of NV5.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures;
Comparability of Certain Measures
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
and amortization (“EBITDA”) is not a measure of financial
performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA reflects adjustments to
EBITDA to eliminate stock-based compensation expense and
acquisition-related costs. Management believes adjusted EBITDA, in
addition to operating profit, Net Income, and other GAAP measures,
is a useful indicator of our financial and operating performance
and our ability to generate cash flows from operations that are
available for taxes, capital expenditures, and debt service. A
reconciliation of Net Income, as reported in accordance with GAAP,
to adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this news release.
Adjusted earnings per diluted share (“Adjusted
EPS”) is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP.
Adjusted EPS reflects adjustments to reported diluted earnings per
share (“GAAP EPS”) to eliminate amortization expense of intangible
assets from acquisitions, net of tax benefits, and
acquisition-related costs. As we continue our acquisition strategy,
the growth in Adjusted EPS may increase at a greater rate than GAAP
EPS. A reconciliation of GAAP EPS to Adjusted EPS is provided at
the end of this news release.
Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
EPS may differ from other companies reporting similarly named
measures. These measures should be considered in addition to,
and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of
financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as Net
Income, and Diluted Earnings per Share. In addition, when
presenting forward-looking non-GAAP metrics, we are unable to
provide quantitative reconciliations to the most closely correlated
GAAP measure due to the uncertainty in the timing, amount or nature
of any adjustments, which could be material in any period.
