Second Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights

"We are pleased to announce another record breaking quarter of earnings for our shareholders characterized by accelerated organic growth, M&A growth, and strong operational performance improvement," said Dickerson Wright, Chairman and CEO of NV5. "Some of our accomplishments included: executing our largest acquisition since 2010, RBA, realizing significant earnings growth over a substantial increase in total shares outstanding, and completing a successful secondary offering. As a result of our May 2015 secondary offering, we raised net proceeds of $29.4 million, which will support the execution of new accretive acquisitions during fiscal year 2015 and 2016. We also reported a sizeable increase in our backlog as a result of numerous new contracts and notable award wins."

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $27.7 million, an increase of 27% from the second quarter of 2014. Our organic growth for the second quarter of 2015 was 13%. The increases in gross and net revenues were due primarily to organic growth from our existing platform as well as the contributions from the Company's acquisitions in 2014 and during the first six months of 2015.

2015 Outlook

The Company is raising its guidance for full-year 2015 gross revenues and diluted earnings per share. The Company now expects full-year 2015 gross revenues, including the impact of acquisitions closed through July 31, 2015, to range from $155 million to $160 million, which represents an increase to 48% from 2014 gross revenues of $108.4 million. The Company further expects that full-year 2015 diluted earnings per share will range from $1.07 per share to $1.17 per share, representing an increase to 34% over diluted earnings per share of $0.87 for the full-year 2014. Included in the guidance for diluted earnings per share, is the impact of 1,644,500 shares issued from our secondary offering on May 28, 2015. Furthermore, this guidance for gross revenues and diluted earnings per share excludes anticipated acquisitions for the remainder of 2015.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is not a measure of financial performance under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management believes EBITDA, in addition to operating profit, net income and other GAAP measures, is a useful indicator of NV5's financial and operating performance and its ability to generate cash flows from operations that are available for taxes, capital expenditures and debt service. A reconciliation of net income as reported in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA is provided at the end of this news release.

Gross Revenues include sub-consultant costs and other direct costs which are generally pass-through costs and, therefore, the Company believes that Net Revenues, which is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry, provides a meaningful perspective on its business results. A reconciliation of gross revenues as reported in accordance with GAAP to net revenues is provided at the end of this news release.

NV5's definition of Net Revenues and EBITDA may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as contract revenues and net income.
