Arcosa, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2019 Results and Raises Full Year 2019 Guidance

August 1, 2019 4:15 PM

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Arcosa, Inc. (NYSE: ACA) (“Arcosa” or the “Company”), a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions, today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Second Quarter Highlights

“This was another quarter of solid growth for Arcosa as we executed on our strategic plan,” commented Antonio Carrillo, President and Chief Executive Officer. “All three segments contributed to revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth in the second quarter. We achieved higher-than-expected margins in our Energy Equipment segment, the ramp-up in our barge business continues on track, and our Construction Products markets remain healthy despite challenging weather conditions.

“Consistent with our disciplined growth strategy, we completed two small bolt-on acquisitions in the second quarter, one in aggregates and one in marine components. Both transactions broaden our product lines and should reduce our overall cyclicality.

“Based on the strength of our year-to-date results and our favorable outlook for the second half of this year, we are raising our 2019 guidance. We now expect 2019 Adjusted EBITDA to range from $230 million to $240 million, representing a 26% year-over-year increase at the mid-point of the range,” Mr. Carrillo concluded.

Reconciliation of Consolidated and Combined Adjusted EBITDA
($ in millions)
(unaudited)

GAAP does not define “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization” (“EBITDA”) and it should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including net income. We use this metric to assess the operating performance of our consolidated business, as a metric for incentive-based compensation, and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting as we believe that it closely correlates to long-term shareholder value, and we believe this metric also assists investors in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation, depletion, and amortization, which can vary significantly depending on many factors. We adjust consolidated EBITDA for certain non-routine items (“Adjusted EBITDA”) to provide a more consistent comparison of earnings performance from period to period, which we also believe assists investors in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenues.
