Bowman Consulting Group Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Results

Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: BWMN) (“Bowman” or the “Company”), a national engineering services firm supporting owners and developers of the built environment, today announced results of operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021.

“We finished the year strong, generating record revenue in 2021 and ending the year with gross backlog of $167 million, up 48% year-over-year”, said Gary Bowman, Chairman and CEO of Bowman. “Consistent with our business strategy of expanding our geographic footprint, service offerings and customer base, we completed six acquisitions in the fourth quarter, bringing our total for the year to eight. Our integration process, combined with the addition of experienced team members, is creating immediate revenue synergies, and is resulting in economies of scale that we expect will positively impact our margins. We are well capitalized to continue executing on our growth initiatives and given our current pipeline of acquisition opportunities we expect to close on additional transactions this year at valuations that meet our target objectives. We remain focused on building shareholder value and delivering on our commitment to generate profitable growth.”

Financial highlights of the three months ended December 31, 2021:

  • Gross revenue of $41.9 million, a year-over-year increase of 40%
  • Net service billing1 of $37.8 million, a year-over-year increase of 44%
  • Net loss of $0.6 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $3.5 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin, net 1 of 9.3%
  • Gross backlog1 of $167 million, an increase of 20% from September 30, 2021, and 48% as compared to December 31, 2020

Financial highlights of the year ended December 31, 2021:

  • Gross revenue of $150.0 million, a year-over-year increase of 23%
  • Net service billing1 of $134.9 million, a year-over-year increase of 30%
  • Net income of $0.3 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $16.5 million, a year-over-year increase of 19%
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin, net 1 of 12.2%
  • Acquired revenue accounted for $11.8 million, or 8% of gross revenue

Year-End Guidance:

The Company is increasing and narrowing its full year 2022 outlook for Net Service Billing to be in the range of $170 to $185 million and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $23 to $27 million. This presents an increase from previous guidance of $150 to $170 million of Net Service Billing and $20 to $24 million of Adjusted EBITDA.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this press release other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements and represent our views as of the date of this press release. The words “anticipate,” believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to several assumptions and risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control that could affect our financial results. These risks and uncertainties are detailed in the sections titled "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our final prospectus Form 424B4 dated February 8, 2022, which is available on the SEC's website at sec.gov, and other documents we have filed, or may file, with the SEC. Such risks and uncertainties may be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on our business and the global economy. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Considering these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this press release may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we are under no obligation to update these forward-looking statements after the date of this press release, or to update the reasons if actual results differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics

We supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, with certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to help represent, explain, and understand our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different than similarly referenced measures used by other companies. The non-GAAP measures are intended to enhance investors’ overall understanding and evaluation of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We present these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance in a manner more aligned with management’s view and believe these measures provide additional tools by which investors can evaluate our core financial performance over multiple periods relative to other companies in our industry. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and other information about certain of these non-GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
