NV5 Announces Record Third Quarter Results; Exceeds Analyst Consensus

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Nov. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NV5 Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVEE) ("NV5" or the "Company"), a provider of compliance, technology, and engineering consulting solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended October 2, 2021.

"NV5 delivered another strong quarter, generating record revenues and net income in the third quarter and year to date in 2021. The core business’ year-over-year double digit revenue growth is a testament to the success of NV5’s strategic business model, resulting in sustainable growth and margin expansion," said Dickerson Wright, PE, Chairman and CEO of NV5.

We enter the fourth quarter and 2022 with a record backlog that increased 13% for the quarter."

Fiscal Year

The Company operates on a “52/53 week” fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to the calendar quarter end, and fiscal 2021 contains 52 weeks compared to fiscal 2020, which contained 53 weeks.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures; Comparability of Certain Measures

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA reflects adjustments to EBITDA to eliminate stock-based compensation expense and acquisition-related costs. Management believes adjusted EBITDA, in addition to operating profit, Net Income, and other GAAP measures, is a useful indicator of our financial and operating performance and our 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 adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this news release.

Adjusted earnings per diluted share (“Adjusted EPS”) is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EPS reflects adjustments to reported diluted earnings per share (“GAAP EPS”) to eliminate amortization expense of intangible assets from acquisitions, net of tax benefits, and acquisition-related costs. As we continue our acquisition strategy, the growth in Adjusted EPS may increase at a greater rate than GAAP EPS. A reconciliation of GAAP EPS to Adjusted EPS is provided at the end of this news release.

Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS 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 Net Income, and Diluted Earnings per Share.
