Tutor Perini Further Strengthens Balance Sheet with Payoff of its Term Loan B
20 February 2025 - 11:13AM
Business Wire
Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE: TPC) (the “Company”), a leading
civil, building and specialty construction company, announced today
that the Company has paid off its remaining Term Loan B debt of
approximately $47 million. With this latest prepayment, Tutor
Perini has successfully accelerated the deleveraging of its balance
sheet, reducing total debt by $477 million, or 52%, since December
31, 2023.
“Our strong operating cash flow has enabled us to exceed our
debt reduction commitments, further strengthening our balance
sheet,” said Gary Smalley, Chief Executive Officer and President.
“Looking ahead, we expect to continue generating strong cash flow,
explore opportunities to further enhance our capital structure, and
consider capital allocation strategies that will drive shareholder
value. With our record backlog, we believe Tutor Perini’s business
is well-positioned for significant growth and substantially
improved profitability over the next several years. I will also
point out that we currently do not anticipate any significant
impacts related to recent federal funding or tariff concerns, based
on an assessment of our contractual terms and project execution
practices that involve buyouts of materials and equipment at the
onset of projects.”

based on the Company’s current expectations and beliefs concerning
future developments and their potential impacts on the Company.
While the Company’s expectations, beliefs and projections are
expressed in good faith and the Company believes there is a
reasonable basis for them, there can be no assurance that future
developments affecting the Company will be those that we have

risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the

implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to: unfavorable outcomes
of existing or future litigation or dispute resolution proceedings
against us or customers (project owners, developers, general
contractors, etc.), subcontractors or suppliers, as well as failure
to promptly recover significant working capital invested in
projects subject to such matters; revisions of estimates of
contract risks, revenue or costs, economic factors such as
inflation, the timing of new awards, or the pace of project
execution, which has resulted and may continue to result in losses
or lower than anticipated profit; contract requirements to perform
extra work beyond the initial project scope, which has and in the
future could result in disputes or claims and adversely affect our
working capital, profits and cash flows; risks and other
uncertainties associated with estimates and assumptions used to
prepare our financial statements; failure to meet contractual
schedule requirements, which could result in higher costs and
reduced profits or, in some cases, exposure to financial liability
for liquidated damages and/or damages to customers, as well as
damage to our reputation; an inability to obtain bonding, which
could have a negative impact on our operations and results;
possible systems and information technology interruptions and
breaches in data security and/or privacy; inability to attract and
retain our key officers, and to adequately plan for their
succession, and hire and retain personnel required to execute and
perform on our contracts; the impact of inclement weather
conditions, disasters and other catastrophic events outside of our
control on projects; risks related to our international operations,
such as uncertainty of U.S. government funding, as well as
economic, political, regulatory and other risks, including risks of
loss due to acts of war, labor conditions, and other unforeseeable
events in countries where we do business, which could adversely
affect our revenue and earnings; increased competition and failure
to secure new contracts; a significant slowdown or decline in
economic conditions, such as those presented during a recession;
decreases in the level of federal, state and local government
spending for infrastructure and other public projects; client
cancellations of, or reductions in scope under, contracts reported
in our backlog; risks related to government contracts and related
procurement regulations; significant fluctuations in the market
price of our common stock, which could result in substantial losses
for stockholders and potentially subject us to securities
litigation; failure of our joint venture partners to perform their
venture obligations, which could impose additional financial and
performance obligations on us, resulting in reduced profits or
losses and/or reputational harm; violations of the U.S. Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws;
failure to meet our obligations under our debt agreements
(especially in a high interest rate environment); downgrades in our
credit ratings; public health crises, such as COVID-19, which have
adversely impacted, and could in the future adversely impact, our
business, financial condition and results of operations by, among
other things, delaying the timing of project bids and/or awards and
the timing of dispute resolutions and associated collections;
physical and regulatory risks related to climate change; impairment
of our goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets; the
exertion of influence over the Company by our chairman and chief
executive officer due to his position and significant ownership
interest; and other risks and uncertainties discussed under the
heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2023 filed on February 28, 2024 and in
other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange
