Perini Corporation (NYSE:PCR): -- Q2 net income of $6.5 million --
Year-to-date net income of $12.0 million -- Year-to-date diluted
EPS of $0.44 per share -- Backlog of $1.82 billion, up 58% from
year end Perini Corporation (NYSE:PCR), a leading building, civil
construction and construction management company, today reported
results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. Second Quarter
Results Net income was $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2005,
as compared to second quarter net income of $12.2 million in 2004.
Diluted earnings per common share were $0.24 for the second quarter
of 2005, as compared to $0.48 for the second quarter of 2004. The
second quarter of 2004 results reflect a lower than normal tax rate
due to the realization of a portion of the federal tax benefit not
recognized in prior years. Assuming an effective income tax rate of
39%, pro forma net income for the second quarter of 2004 would have
been $8.0 million. Similarly, pro forma diluted earnings per common
share for the second quarter of 2004 would have been $0.31. Please
refer to Table 1 at the end of this press release for a
reconciliation of reported net income in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles to pro forma net income. Revenues
from construction operations were $378.4 million for the second
quarter of 2005, compared to revenues of $495.8 million reported
for the second quarter of 2004. The second quarter of 2005
operating results reflect a decrease in revenues, most notably in
the building segment, due primarily to the slower than expected
timing of new work awards in the hospitality and gaming markets,
which was offset by higher gross margins experienced by the
Company's building and civil segments. Also, general and
administrative expenses increased for the second quarter of 2005
from the comparable period in 2004 due to the inclusion of expenses
of Cherry Hill Construction, Inc. acquired in January 2005 and an
increase in compensation expense relating to the amortization of
certain restricted stock awards granted in the second half of 2004.
Robert Band, President and Chief Operating Officer, stated that,
"We are pleased to report a profitable performance for the second
quarter of 2005. We have begun to convert the pending awards and
new work opportunities to contracts in the second quarter of 2005,
resulting in a 58% increase in backlog of work on hand compared to
December 31, 2004. In addition, we are very enthusiastic about the
pending new work prospects in our traditional core building markets
-- hospitality and gaming -- which are extremely strong and are
anticipated to generate from $5 billion to $6 billion of new
contract awards moving into backlog in the second half of 2005 and
early 2006. We are also very pleased with the acquisition of Cherry
Hill Construction, Inc. and the positive impact it has had on our
2005 year to date operating results and on our backlog of
uncompleted construction work." Six Month Results For the first six
months of 2005, net income was $12.0 million, as compared to $23.4
million for the first six months of 2004. Diluted earnings per
common share were $0.44 for the first six months of 2005, as
compared to $0.91 for the first six months of 2004. The results for
the first six months of 2004 reflect a lower than normal tax rate
due to the realization of a portion of the federal tax benefit not
recognized in prior years. Assuming an effective income tax rate of
39%, pro forma net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004
would have been $15.2 million. Similarly, pro forma diluted
earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2004
would have been $0.59. Please refer to Table 1 at the end of this
press release for a reconciliation of reported net income in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to pro
forma net income. Revenues from construction operations totaled
$749.9 million for the first six months of 2005, compared to
revenues of $976.1 million reported for the first six months of
2004. Backlog at $1.82 Billion The backlog of uncompleted
construction work at June 30, 2005 was $1.82 billion, a 58%
increase compared to $1.15 billion at December 31, 2004. The June
30, 2005 backlog includes $170 million in backlog added as a result
of the acquisition of Cherry Hill Construction, Inc. in January
2005. Other new contract awards and adjustments to contracts in
process added to the backlog during the second quarter of 2005
totaled $386 million and include approximately $275 million of
hotel and casino work in Las Vegas, California and the Washington,
DC area and $85 million of school construction and renovation work
in Florida. The previously announced award of Project CityCenter in
Las Vegas, with an estimated value in excess of $3 billion, is not
included in the Company's backlog at June 30, 2005 pending
finalization of contract scope, terms and conditions. Financial
Condition Remains Strong in 2005 While the Company's financial
condition remained strong at June 30, 2005, working capital
decreased from $178.0 million at December 31, 2004 to $172.2
million at June 30, 2005, due primarily to the funding of the
acquisition of Cherry Hill Construction, Inc. Outlook The amount of
pending hospitality and gaming contract awards and new work
opportunities is at a record level in our building segment.
However, the conversion of these projects to contracts in backlog
is slower than originally anticipated. Accordingly, we are
narrowing our guidance for full year 2005 to $1.5 to 1.6 billion in
revenues and $0.95 to $1.10 diluted earnings per share. The diluted
earnings per share guidance does not include the expected favorable
impact of our anticipated settlement of the lawsuit with certain
holders of our $21.25 Preferred Stock. About Perini Corporation

expenses, gains and losses from the comparable GAAP measures, are
an indication of our baseline performance before gains, losses or
other charges that are considered by management to be outside of
our core operating results. These non-GAAP results are among the
indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating our financial
performance as well as for forecasting future periods. For these
reasons, management believes these non-GAAP measures can be useful
to investors, potential investors and others. The presentation of
