Management Comments
Michael McCann, Limbach’s President and Chief Executive Officer,
said, “We continued to execute on a number of fronts during the
second quarter, with solid revenue growth in our ODR segment and
improvement in gross margin in both segments. The net result was a
sharp improvement in net income and Adjusted EBITDA from year-ago
levels. We continue to experience strong demand for our services in
the ODR segment across a number of our target end markets as tight
supply chain conditions persist. With tight supply chain conditions
for new equipment, we see increased demand for T&M work to keep
aging equipment working and an increased interest in operating
efficiencies on the part of building owners which is largely
attributable to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA guidance.”
Mr. McCann continued, “We remain intensely focused on
positioning Limbach as the preferred building solutions partner for
enterprises with mission critical assets, driving demand for our
services throughout the cycle. By providing value-added solutions
that enable our customers to improve their operating efficiency and
return on assets, we are able to create durable relationships that
allow us to realize continued improvement in margins and
profitability.”
Mr. McCann concluded, “Our value creation strategy centers on
three primary levers – increasing the proportion of our revenues
that come from our higher-margin ODR segment; delivering
higher-margin evolved offerings for our customers; and pursuit of
strategic acquisitions. Following the end of the second quarter, we
announced the acquisition of ACME Industrial Products based in
Chattanooga, Tennessee. We are very excited to welcome everyone at
ACME to the Limbach family. ACME enjoys an outstanding reputation
in the Chattanooga area and is a market leader in servicing
hydroelectric facilities. This acquisition is very much ‘on
strategy’ and we continue to work diligently on additional
acquisition opportunities for this year and beyond.”
Second Quarter 2023 Results Detail
The following are results for the three months ended June 30,
2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022:
- Consolidated revenue was $124.9 million, an increase of 7.5%
from $116.1 million. ODR segment revenue of $58.8 million increased
by $9.0 million, or 18.1%, while GCR segment revenue was relatively
flat. The Company continued its strategic focus on expanding the
ODR segment’s contribution to the business.
- Gross margin increased to 22.8%, up from 18.4%. On a dollar
basis, total gross profit was $28.5 million, compared to $21.3
million. ODR gross profit increased $4.6 million, or 36.6%, due to
the combination of an increase in revenue and higher segment
margins of 29.3% versus 25.4% driven by contract mix. GCR gross
profit increased $2.6 million, or 29.7%, due to higher segment
margins of 17.1%, compared with 13.1%. The Company continues to
expect annual GCR gross margins to trend to a range of 12% to 15%,
while ODR margins are expected to be in a range from 25% to
28%.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by
approximately $1.7 million, to $20.4 million, compared to $18.7
million. The increase in SG&A was primarily due to a $1.3
million increase associated with payroll-related expenses and a
$0.5 million increase in stock compensation expense, partially
offset by a $0.4 million decrease in rent related expenses. As a
percent of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses
were 16.3%, up from 16.1%.
- Interest expense was $0.5 million during the current and prior
year quarter, which was the result of higher interest rates on
outstanding debt despite a lower overall outstanding debt balance
period-over-period.
- Interest income was $0.2 million compared to marginal interest
income in the prior year. This increase was due to the Company's
overnight repurchase agreement, investments in U.S. Treasury Bills,
and money market funds.
- Net income was $5.3 million as compared to $0.9 million.
Diluted income per share was $0.46 as compared to $0.08. Adjusted
EBITDA was $11.9 million as compared to $6.6 million, an increase
of 81.1%.
- Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $16.9
million as compared to $15.6 million.
Balance Sheet
At June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $45.9
million. We had current assets of $199.2 million and current

Working capital was $71.9 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of
$5.0 million from December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2023, we had $10.0

million on the principal portion of the A&R Wintrust Term Loan
prior to its extinguishment.
Through June 30, 2023, all 600,000 of our $15 Exercise Price
Sponsor Warrants and 163,444 of our Merger Warrants were exercised
on a cashless basis by the holders of the warrants, which resulted
in the warrants being exercised for 167,564 and 45,797 shares of
our common stock, respectively. For the period from July 1, 2023
through July 20, 2023, the holders to the Merger Warrants exercised
on a cashless basis 443,032 warrants, which resulted in the Merger

Subsequent Events
On July 3, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of ACME
Industrial Piping, LLC (“ACME”), a specialty industrial contractor
based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for a purchase price at closing of
$5 million in cash. The transaction also provides for an earnout of
up to $2.5 million potentially being paid out over the next two
years. ACME specializes in performing industrial maintenance,
capital project work, and emergency services for specialty chemical
and manufacturing clients, and is a leading mechanical solutions
provider for hydroelectric producers.

Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
In assessing the performance of our business, management
utilizes a variety of financial and performance measures. The key
measure is Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. We define
Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus depreciation and amortization
expense, interest expense, and taxes, as further adjusted to
eliminate the impact of, when applicable, other non-cash items or
expenses that are unusual or non-recurring that we believe do not
reflect our core operating results. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA
is meaningful to our investors to enhance their understanding of
our financial performance for the current period and our ability to
generate cash flows from operations that are available for taxes,
capital expenditures and debt service. We understand that Adjusted
EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and
other interested parties as a measure of financial performance and
to compare our performance with the performance of other companies
that report Adjusted EBITDA. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA,
however, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
reported by other companies. When assessing our operating
performance, investors and others should not consider this data in
isolation or as a substitute for net income calculated in
accordance with GAAP. Further, the results presented by Adjusted
EBITDA cannot be achieved without incurring the costs that the
measure excludes. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted
EBITDA, the most comparable GAAP measure, is provided below.
We refer to our estimated revenue on uncompleted contracts,
including the amount of revenue on contracts for which work has not
begun, less the revenue we have recognized under such contracts, as
“backlog.” Backlog includes unexercised contract options.
