HIGHLIGHTS:
"Second quarter results were much improved from a year ago, however there are projects still in Backlog with dilutive margin impacts that are scheduled for completion this year.", said Teri McKibbon, President & CEO. "Our Backlog continues to grow and become more diversified as does our list of awarded but not yet contracted projects, both of which include a significant portion of higher-margin self-perform industrial work and overall have a lower risk profile than a year ago. As these new projects evolve and further diversification takes hold, we expect to see an improvement in our gross profit margins."

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the operating performance of its business. Management believes that investors and analysts use Adjusted EBITDA, it may provide predictive value to assess the ongoing operations of the business and it provides a more consistent comparison between financial reporting periods.
