Perini Corporation (NYSE: PCR), a leading building, civil
construction and construction management company, today reported
record results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008. Second
Quarter Results Net income was $28.6 million, as compared to net
income of $27.6 million for the second quarter of 2007. Diluted
earnings per common share were $1.03, as compared to $1.01 for the
second quarter of 2007. Revenues from construction operations were
$1.39 billion for the quarter, compared to revenues of $1.15
billion for the second quarter of 2007. The increase in revenues is
primarily due to an increased volume of work in hospitality and
gaming, healthcare and office building markets in Las Vegas and
California. Robert Band, President and Chief Operating Officer,
said: �We are pleased to report a new record for revenues and net
income for the second quarter of 2008, again led by our building
and management services segments. We continue to benefit in the
marketplace from our ability to complete complex projects on time
and on budget.� Six Month Results For the first six months of 2008,
net income was $53.7 million, as compared to net income of $50.2
million for the first six months of 2007. Diluted earnings per
common share were $1.94 for the first six months of 2008, as
compared to $1.84 for the first six months of 2007. Revenues from
construction operations were $2.64 billion for the first six months
of 2008, compared to revenues of $2.14 billion for the first six
months of 2007. Backlog at $8 billion including McCarran Airport
contract The backlog of uncompleted construction work at June 30,
2008 was $6.8 billion, down from the $7.6 billion backlog reported
at December 31, 2007. The June 30, 2008 backlog does not include
the recently announced July 15th signing of a $1.2 billion
construction contract to build the new Terminal 3 at McCarran
International Airport in Las Vegas. The June 30, 2008 backlog
includes new contract awards and adjustments to contracts in
process added during the second quarter of 2008 totaling
approximately $1.0 billion, which includes approximately $200
million of additional work in the hospitality and gaming market,
primarily in Las Vegas. Also, Rudolph and Sletten added
approximately $694 million of new awards in the health care and
office building markets. The Civil segment added a $73 million
bridge rehabilitation project in Westchester County, New York.
Financial Condition Remains Strong in 2008 The Company�s financial
condition remained strong at June 30, 2008. Working capital
decreased to $244.5 million at June 30, 2008, from $293.5 million
at December 31, 2007. The decrease was primarily due to the
classification of the Company�s investments in certain auction rate
securities as long-term investments. The Company improved its solid
base of shareholders� equity to $428.0 million at June 30, 2008. In
addition, the Company has $113.7 million available to borrow under
its credit facility at June 30, 2008 plus an additional $112.8
million available to borrow under its temporary supplementary
credit facility at June 30, 2008. The Company believes its
financial position and credit arrangements are more than sufficient
to support the Company�s substantial backlog. Outlook On April 2,
2008, the Company announced that it has entered into a definitive
agreement to combine with privately-held Tutor-Saliba Corporation.
The transaction is subject to closing conditions, including the
approval of Perini�s shareholders. The transaction is expected to
be accretive to earnings per share beginning in the first full
fiscal year of combined operations. The Company is maintaining its
existing combined guidance for 2008 revenues in the range of $5.5
billion to $5.9 billion and diluted earnings per share in the range
of $3.50 to $3.75. Beyond fiscal 2008, the Company is continuing to
target fiscal 2009 revenue and diluted earnings per share in the
range of $7.3 billion to $7.8 billion and $4.00 to $4.20,
respectively, and continuing to target diluted earnings per share
growth in 2010 of 10% to 20%. About Perini Corporation Perini
