Outlook
Comments from
"As we look ahead, we will continue executing on our strategic vision of being the premier specialty contractor in the infrastructure, industrial, and building sectors, while building our market share and enhancing shareholder value. Our continued strong backlog and the ongoing operational improvements we have made, provide long-term visibility to support our future success.
The infrastructure sector, which today is made up of our marine segment, continues to provide both public and private opportunities to maintain and expand marine facilities on and over U.S. waterways. Throughout our operating areas, market fundamentals remain positive, and we are seeing pockets of margin expansion in certain areas. The weather events of the third quarter will provide additional opportunities for marine segment projects in the near term. Private sector bid opportunities from downstream energy customers continue as they expand their waterside facilities associated with refining and storage. Recreational demand continues from private customers as local marinas are being expanded and remodeled, while business opportunities from cruise lines remain promising as we track opportunities related to new destinations, or refurbishment of existing destinations in the
The building sector, which today houses our concrete segment, is in solid shape as its three major metropolitan markets continuously retain their positions as leading destinations for families and businesses to reside. Population growth throughout our markets continues to drive new distribution centers, office expansion, retail and grocery establishments, new multi-family housing units, educational facilities and medical facilities. In Houston, we are experiencing some tightening in the market but we expect to continue to maintain market share. We are focused on expanding our market share in the
In the industrial sector, we will continue our greenfield expansion by combining talent and resources from the marine segment and concrete segment to continue to pursue concrete foundation work inside the industrial environment. The massive, long-term petrochemical driven opportunities along the
Comments from
"Each of the Company’s business sectors continued to experience solid demand for services, and we placed competitive bids for projects throughout the third quarter. We remain encouraged by the volume and mix of projects scheduled or anticipated within our operating areas and the additional opportunities the third quarter weather events will create in the future.
As mentioned, the third quarter weather events greatly impacted our results due to the timing of project execution. Unfortunately, making up this impact during 2017 will be difficult, even though these events provide opportunities for the future. As a result of the weather impacts during the third quarter, we are discontinuing our EBITDA guidance for 2017. Our goal is, and will always be, to deliver profitable returns to shareholders. Expansion of our existing operations or future operations in the infrastructure, industrial, or building sectors could provide further catalysts for EBITDA growth. We believe Orion has a strong future and we are adapting to reduce the volatility in our earnings and results. As we look toward 2018, we will continue to adjust the business to reduce volatility. As a result, we expect to see some bottom line improvement in 2018 as compared to 2017. This bottom line improvement should expand more significantly in 2019 and beyond."

About
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the financial measures “EBITDA” and “EBITDA margin." These measurements are “non-GAAP financial measures” under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Regulation G. The non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies. By reporting such non-GAAP financial information, the Company does not intend to give such information greater prominence than comparable and other GAAP financial information, which information is of equal or greater importance.
Orion Group Holdings defines EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA for the period by contract revenues for the period. The GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to EBITDA is net income, while the GAAP financial measure that is most directly comparable to EBITDA margin is operating margin, which represents operating income divided by contract revenues. EBITDA and EBITDA margin are used internally to evaluate current operating expense, operating efficiency, and operating profitability on a variable cost basis, by excluding the depreciation and amortization expenses, primarily related to capital expenditures and acquisitions, and net interest and tax expenses. Additionally, EBITDA and EBITDA margin provide useful information regarding the Company's ability to meet future debt repayment requirements and working capital requirements while providing an overall evaluation of the Company's financial condition. In addition, EBITDA is used internally for incentive compensation purposes. The Company includes EBITDA and EBITDA margin to provide transparency to investors as they are commonly used by investors and others in assessing performance. EBITDA and EBITDA margin have certain limitations as analytical tools and should not be used as a substitute for operating margin, net income, cash flows, or other data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
Backlog Defined
Backlog consists of projects under contract that have either (a) not been started, or (b) are in progress and not yet complete, and the Company cannot guarantee that the revenue projected in its backlog will be realized, or, if realized, will result in earnings. Backlog can fluctuate from period to period due to the timing and execution of contracts. Given the typical duration of the Company's projects, which generally range from three to nine months, the Company's backlog at any point in time usually represents only a portion of the revenue it expects to realize during a twelve-month period.
