Perini Corporation (NYSE:PCR): -- Net Income Increased to $8.1
Million; Diluted EPS Increased to $0.30 -- Backlog of $7.9 Billion
Maintained -- Diluted EPS Guidance for 2006 Adjusted to $1.00 -
$1.10 Perini Corporation (NYSE:PCR), a leading building, civil
construction and construction management company, today reported
results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2006. Net Income Net
income was $8.1 million for the first quarter of 2006, as compared
to net income of $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2005. Diluted
earnings per common share were $0.30 for the first quarter of 2006,
as compared to $0.20 for the first quarter of 2005. The 2006
operating results include the results of Rudolph and Sletten, which
was acquired in October 2005. Revenues from construction operations
were $612.8 million for the first quarter of 2006, compared to
revenues of $371.6 million for the first quarter of 2005. The
increase in revenues is primarily due to the addition of Rudolph
and Sletten, and to an increased volume of work in the hospitality
and gaming market as a result of the significant new contract
awards received in the latter half of 2005. Robert Band, President
and Chief Operating Officer, stated that, "We are pleased to report
profitable performance for the first quarter of 2006. Our increased
revenues and profit primarily reflect increases in our building and
civil construction operations due to the 2005 acquisitions of
Rudolph and Sletten and Cherry Hill Construction, both of which had
a positive impact on our first quarter operating results. Based on
the contract awards received in the second half of 2005 and the
acquisition of Rudolph and Sletten, we expect the building division
to make a strong contribution to operating results for the
remainder of 2006. We also anticipate improved performance from our
civil segment and another year of profitable operations from our
management services segment." Backlog at $7.9 Billion The backlog
of uncompleted construction work at March 31, 2006 was $7.9
billion, virtually unchanged from the all-time record backlog
reported at December 31, 2005. The March 31, 2006 backlog includes
first quarter 2006 new contract awards totaling approximately $626
million, including the award of the $198 million Sheraton Hotel in
downtown Phoenix, AZ; $122 million of additional work, including
Phase II, on the Red Rock Resort Spa Casino in Las Vegas, NV; $62
million airport parking garage in West Palm Beach, FL; and $146
million of various new awards at Rudolph and Sletten. Financial
Condition Remains Strong in 2006 The Company's financial condition
remained strong during the first quarter of 2006. Working capital
increased from $153.3 million at December 31, 2005 to $155.7
million at March 31, 2006. The Company's solid base of
shareholders' equity totaling $191.2 million at March 31, 2006 is
available and sufficient to support Perini's substantial backlog.
Outlook The Company reaffirms its initial revenue guidance for 2006
in the range of $2.6 to $2.8 billion and reduces its diluted
earnings per share guidance to a range of $1.00 to $1.10 from $1.30
to $1.45. The revised diluted earnings per share guidance largely
reflects the impact of approximately $0.31 for stock-based
compensation expense resulting from the recent granting of
restricted stock units to certain executive officers and employees
as long-term retention and performance incentives. About Perini
