Key Takeaways

  • Negative Sentiment: Primoris reported a sharp Q2 downturn tied to renewable-project overruns: revenue fell 10.7% year over year to just under $1.7 billion, gross margin declined to 4.9% from 12.3%, and Energy segment gross margin was slightly negative.
  • Neutral Sentiment: Management said the six troubled renewable projects remain on track for completion, with three expected to reach substantial completion in Q3 and the final project by year-end; however, it acknowledged that some portfolio projects are performing below their original margins.
  • Positive Sentiment: Bookings and backlog reached records, with more than $3.9 billion of Q2 awards driving total backlog to nearly $13.9 billion. Natural-gas power generation contributed approximately $1.4 billion of the sequential increase, while PayneCrest added bookings and performed above expectations.
  • Positive Sentiment: The company maintained its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of $275 million to $325 million and expects Q2 to be the low point, with adjusted EBITDA projected to improve to $90 million-$110 million in Q3 and $100 million-$120 million in Q4.
  • Positive Sentiment: Management sees strong multi-year demand in power delivery, natural-gas generation, pipeline infrastructure, electrical services, and renewables, and expects Energy margins to return to the historical 10%-12% range in 2027 as challenged projects are completed.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures are available on the investors section of our website and in our second quarter 2026 earnings press release, which was issued yesterday. I would now like to turn the call over to Koti Vadlamudi.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Thank you, Blake. Good morning. Thank you for joining us today to discuss our second quarter 2026 financial and operational results. As we noted in our June operational update, our second quarter results reflect the majority of the impact from the limited number of renewable energy projects that have experienced margin pressure. Since that update, we have achieved mechanical completion on one additional project and will be submitting for mechanical completion on another this week. Importantly, we continue to expect that three projects will reach substantial completion during the third quarter of 2026. The sixth and final project remains aligned with our revised estimates, and we currently expect to achieve mechanical completion in early November, followed by substantial completion by year-end. I also want to emphasize that following our portfolio review, the remainder of the renewables projects, on average, are performing within our expectations.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

While these projects have presented challenges, we are making meaningful progress toward completing them and reducing their impact on our business. I am particularly encouraged by the commitment, resilience, and execution of our teams across Primoris. Their focus and determination have been instrumental in advancing these projects toward completion while continuing to deliver the high-quality generation assets our customers expect and that have helped establish Primoris as a trusted leader in the renewables marketplace. As we move forward, our priorities are clear. Successfully complete these projects, maintain disciplined pre-construction planning and risk posture across the portfolio, and position the business for profitable, sustainable growth. As we have stated previously, the opportunity set within our renewables business remains substantial.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Today, we see more than $16 billion of opportunities for solar and battery storage across our core geographic markets, where we benefit from longstanding customer relationships, a proven track record, and deep operational expertise. We remain selective in the opportunities we pursue, maintaining a disciplined approach to risk assessment, contract structure, and project execution. Our strong customer base, experienced teams, and history of successfully delivering high-quality generation assets positions us well to compete for and win attractive work in these markets. Looking ahead, we remain confident in the long-term fundamentals of the renewables business and in Primoris' ability to leverage its market leadership, operational capabilities, and customer partnerships to drive profitable growth. In addition to our focused efforts to restore a positive trajectory in renewables, Primoris delivered record bookings and backlog in the second quarter, underscoring the strength and diversity of our platform.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

During the quarter, we secured more than $3.9 billion of new awards, including approximately $1.5 billion in the utility segment and $2.4 billion in the energy segment. The growth in our utilities backlog reflects both the favorable dynamics of our end markets and the confidence our customers place in our ability to execute critical infrastructure projects. Demand remains particularly strong in power delivery, and we are strategically expanding our workforce in key markets to support strategic customer relationships while also engaging with new customers seeking experienced partners for transmission, substation, and distribution work. We see growing opportunities to build upon our established track record in transmission and substation work. At the same time, we are investing in process improvements, operational rigor, and talent development to enhance execution, improve profitability, and expand our workforce of qualified field leadership, project management, and supervisory personnel.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Growth in our energy segment backlog was primarily driven by natural gas power generation, which accounted for approximately $1.4 billion of the sequential increase during the quarter. In addition, we benefited from roughly $200 million of backlog associated with the PayneCrest acquisition as of quarter end and secured new awards across electrical construction services, industrial infrastructure, and utility-scale solar. We are still expecting renewables backlog to build in the H2 of the year, with the majority of awards coming in the fourth quarter. Looking beyond this year, we also see the potential for strong first quarter of 2027 for renewables awards, which would further support our confidence in returning the business to growth next year. Beyond renewables, we continue to see encouraging opportunities across several energy end markets.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

As we look to the H2 of 2026, we see additional upside potential in both pipeline and natural gas power generation opportunities, particularly for projects expected to ramp up in late 2027 and early 2028. Taken together, the strength of the customer demand, the breadth of opportunities across our end markets, and the quality of our project funnel support our view that Energy Segment is positioned to benefit from a favorable multi-year investment cycle. Our focus remains on pursuing the right opportunities, maintaining disciplined project selection, and converting this robust set of opportunities into profitable growth. I'll now turn to our segment performance for the quarter. The Utility Segment was up from the prior year, driven by growth in gas operations and power delivery. While Communications revenue and margin were lower year-over-year, as expected.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

As we discussed in our Q1 call, we anticipated a softer near-term environment in Communications as traditional fiber-to-the-home program build-outs transition toward BEAD-funded projects. While this affected activity levels in Q2, we continue to believe these opportunities will begin to ramp up later this year. In the meantime, data center fiber and connectivity work remain an important growth driver for the business. We are also encouraged by the level of bidding activity we are seeing, which has the potential to materialize in late 2026 and extending into 2027. Our gas operations business continues to perform well, exceeding market revenue growth expectations in the quarter. We are also actively pursuing new programs in the Midwest and Southern regions that would further support revenue in the business. While a lower level of higher-margin project work impacted margins compared to the prior year, the business delivered another solid quarter.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Strong productivity, effective execution, and high equipment utilization continue to support healthy operating performance and have us well-positioned as we move through the remainder of the year. In the Energy Segment, operational performance during the quarter was solid outside of the previously discussed challenges within renewables. Pipeline delivered another quarter of double-digit revenue growth with substantial margin improvement. The recovery from the cyclical trough experienced in 2025 continues to gain momentum and market activity remains constructive. Furthermore, we believe that the larger diameter opportunities are still on the horizon with a multi-year addressable project funnel that now exceeds $7 billion in total contract value. In electrical construction services acquired through the PayneCrest transaction, performance has already exceeded our expectations. During the two months the business was part of Primoris in the quarter, it delivered stronger than anticipated revenue and margins.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

We are encouraged by the strategic and cultural fit, as well as the early operating results. We are already seeing positive momentum through backlog growth and a robust pipeline of opportunities with existing customers. Several of these pursuits could convert into awards by year-end, further enhancing our growth outlook for this business. In Industrial, which includes our natural gas power generation activities, revenue was modestly lower year-over-year, primarily due to the timing of project completions and the commencement of new work. Despite this temporary timing impact, demand remains strong and project activity continues to develop as expected. As a result, we remain on track to exceed our expectations for the full year, supported by a meaningful ramp in activity during the H2 of 2026.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Overall, despite the challenges we experienced in renewables during the quarter, Primoris continues to benefit from strong underlying performance and favorable market fundamentals across multiple end markets, including power generation, pipeline infrastructure, and electrical services. The strength of our record backlog, expanding opportunity pipeline, and disciplined approach to project selection reinforces our confidence in the business. I'll now turn it over to Ken for more on our financial results.

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

Thanks, Koti, and good morning, everyone. Our Q2 revenue was just under $1.7 billion, a decrease of about $200 million or 10.7% from the prior year, driven by lower revenue in the energy segment. The energy segment was down $236.9 million, or 19.2% from the prior year due to decreased renewable activity. This was partly offset by increased natural gas generation and pipeline activity and the addition of PayneCrest for May and June. The utility segment was up $19.6 million, or 2.8% from the prior year, driven by higher activity in gas operations and power delivery, partially offset by lower communications revenue. Gross profit for the second quarter was $82.4 million, a decrease of $149.3 million compared to the prior year. This was driven by lower revenue and margins in the energy segment and lower margins in the utility segment.

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

Gross margin was 4.9% for the quarter, compared to 12.3% in the prior year. Looking at our segment results, utility segment gross profit was $85.1 million, down $12.4 million compared to the prior year. This was driven primarily by lower revenue and margin in the communications business and lower margins in our gas operations business. This was partially offset by increased revenue and margins in power delivery. The decline in revenue and margin in communications was due to a decrease in fiber-to-the-home activity as customers transitioned to BEAD programs, which we referenced in our first quarter call. It was also due to a shift in revenue mix toward more maintenance work. For gas operations, the lower margins were due to strong project closeouts in 2025 that didn't repeat in Q2 of this year.

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

Gross margin declined to 11.9%, compared to 14.1% in the prior year. We continue to see strong performance in power delivery driven by improved productivity and a favorable mix of work, including substation and transmission scopes. This led to higher revenue and margins year-over-year. In the energy segment, gross profit declined $136.9 million from the prior year due to lower revenues and margins in renewables. Gross margins in the segment were slightly negative, which was down from 10.8% in the prior year. The decrease in margin was driven by project cost overruns and lower revenues in renewables, partially offset by improved revenue and margins in pipeline and the contributions from PayneCrest. We believe revenue and margins will trend up in the H2 of 2026 as we complete the four remaining renewables projects and begin to ramp up on new solar and natural gas projects.

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

For the full year 2026, we are expecting gross margins in the energy segment to be in the 6%-8% range. SG&A expenses in the second quarter were $106.3 million, an increase of only $1.7 million compared to the prior year. As a percent of revenue, SG&A increased to 6.3% from 5.5% in the prior year due to lower revenue and increased amortization expense of the intangibles from the PayneCrest acquisition. SG&A is expected to trend higher in the H2 of the year due to this increased amortization expense. As a result, we expect SG&A will be a little over 6% of revenue for the full year 2026. Net interest expense in the quarter was $10.6 million, up $3.1 million from the prior year, due to higher average debt balances attributable to the PayneCrest acquisition, partially offset by lower interest rates.

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

Based on current debt levels, we are updating our guidance for interest expense to be between $43 million and $47 million for the full year. Our effective tax rate was elevated for the first six months of 2026, reflecting lower pre-tax profit and the impact of some discrete items in the first half of the year. Despite these impacts, we expect our full-year effective tax rate to be in the 30%-32% range. Moving to cash flow, Q2 cash used in operations was $8.7 million, which improved from the first quarter of 2026, but down from around $78 million provided by operations in the prior year. The decrease in cash from operations was largely driven by our lower net income.

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

Transitioning over to the balance sheet, we maintained strong liquidity of $959 million, which includes a little over $218 million of cash and approximately $741 million in available borrowing capacity on our revolver. Our trailing 12-month net debt to EBITDA ratio increased to 1.6x EBITDA at the end of Q2, primarily due to the acquisition of PayneCrest and the lower Q2 EBITDA. We expect our leverage ratio to tick up slightly in Q3, but should trend lower as we grow earnings and improve cash flow in Q4 and in 2027. We remain in a very good position with respect to our financial covenants and have substantial liquidity to continue investing organically as well as to pursue opportunistic share repurchases or tuck-in M&A in our key focus areas.

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

Total backlog at the end of Q2 was just under $13.9 billion, an increase of approximately $2.2 billion sequentially from Q1 and a record for Primoris. Total fixed backlog was up $1.5 billion from Q1, primarily due to strong energy segment bookings for natural gas generation, industrial and electrical construction services from PayneCrest. As Koti mentioned, we have also started Q3 with additional bookings in natural gas generation and pipeline that should support growth in 2027. While we were awarded a solar project in the second quarter, we continue to expect renewables bookings of $1.5 billion-$2 billion in the H2 of the year, primarily in Q4. Total MSA backlog increased about $700 million from Q1, driven primarily by increased activity in power delivery.

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

Our growing funnel of opportunities across our services and our ability to win and execute on behalf of our customers gives us confidence we will return to revenue growth and margin expansion in 2027. Before turning it back over to Koti, I'll close with guidance. We are maintaining the guidance we provided in our operational update in June. EPS of $1.30-$1.85 per fully diluted share, adjusted EPS of $2.05- $2.60 per fully diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA of $275-$325 million for the full year 2026. We expect our second quarter results to represent the low point for the year, as we have recognized the cost impacts associated with the challenged renewable projects during the quarter.

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

Looking ahead, we anticipate sequential improvement in revenue and earnings through the remainder of 2026, with adjusted EBITDA expected in the range of $90-$110 million for the third quarter and $100- $120 million in the fourth quarter. As Koti mentioned, we continue to make solid progress in completing the remaining obligations on the renewables projects that have experienced cost overruns. At the same time, we expect activity to accelerate on several solar and natural gas generation projects during the H2 of the year. Based on the momentum we are seeing and the opportunities ahead, we are encouraged by our outlook. I'll now turn it back over to Koti.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Thanks, Ken. Prior to opening the call for questions, I'd like to recap the key takeaways from the quarter. First, the financial impact from the renewables business in the quarter, and in 2026 overall, is not representative of the performance standards we have historically defined at Primoris, nor is it acceptable to me as CEO. In response, we have taken decisive actions to strengthen our operational oversight, enhance our pre-construction planning and risk management processes, and sharpen accountability throughout the organization. Our reputation, long-standing customer relationships, and the attractive end markets we serve are too valuable to compromise by taking unnecessary risks or deviating from the disciplined execution that has differentiated Primoris. While project risk will always be part of our business, accountability starts with leadership, and I am committed to ensuring that we learn from these challenges and emerge as a stronger organization.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

That said, we are progressing as expected to substantially complete the challenged projects by year-end. As we move toward completion, we expect to see the impacts on our financial results continue to diminish in the back half of the year. Second, I want to emphasize that the underlying fundamentals of our business remain exceptionally strong, as evident by our record bookings and backlog. I also want to recognize the teams across our organization who are working closely with our customers to plan and secure future projects, as well as the men and women in the field whose dedication, expertise, and execution make our success possible every day.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

As we move through the balance of 2026 and into 2027, we will work to successfully complete the remaining renewables projects, execute with discipline across our portfolio, convert our growing backlog into profitable results, and position Primoris to capitalize on the significant infrastructure investment opportunities ahead. I remain confident in our team, confident in our strategy, and confident in our ability to create long-term value for our customers, employees, and shareholders. We will now open up the call for your questions.

Analyst at UBS

Thanks. Good morning. Just to follow up on the renewables projects. It sounds like, I think you said the remainder of those renewable projects, on average, are performing within expectations. Does the on average imply that some are above and some are below? I guess really the root question is, are there risks that we have more charges here? If so, is that already captured in guidance? I guess I'm curious what some of the key assumptions you've made going forward about weather and labor productivity for the rest of these. Thanks.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah. Thanks, Steve, for the question. Yeah, that comment is correct. On average, in the portfolio, there's probably over two dozen projects. Many of them are delivering more than an as sold margin, and some are not material, but a little below their as sold margin. We identified the six that had the cost overruns, and those remain the six that we continue to be focused on. As I said, two of those are now complete, three completing this quarter, and the last one at the end of the year.

Steven Fisher
Steven Fisher
Analyst at UBS

You mentioned about returning to growth in 2027 in renewables. Can you confirm that's just your base case at the moment? If so, it sounds like the fourth quarter bookings there are going to be quite important. We're hearing that some of the projects in this planning stage might be running a bit behind and may be at risk of being even rebid to others. Can you just sort of set the record straight on the confidence in 2027 and what's happening with those projects as you're in the planning stages on renewables? Thank you.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah. Thanks, Steve. Back half of the year, in particular Q4, the funnel for renewables remains strong, we'll give very prescriptive color on 2027, where revenue burn will be on the top line. Very strong indication On the opportunity list in front of us for Q4, it sets us up for significant backlog going into 2027. What we would say is modest growth for 2027 coming off of a reset year.

Steven Fisher
Steven Fisher
Analyst at UBS

Just any comments on the work in the planning stages? Any comments on things being behind or being rebid to others?

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah. Thanks. I'm sorry I didn't answer that piece. No significant changes. As the year has evolved, we'd previously articulated some projects did move to the right, even in this quarter, one project signing that we anticipated happening in Q3 moved to Q4. It isn't a significant shift in terms of our projected backlog. No significant pushes to the right other than what we articulated previously.

Steven Fisher
Steven Fisher
Analyst at UBS

Okay. Thank you.

Your next question comes from the line of Sean Milligan with Needham & Company. Sean, your line is now open. Please go ahead.

Sean Milligan
Sean Milligan
Analyst at Needham & Company

Hey, thank you for taking the questions. I guess first off, in the gas power side, you added $1.4 billion in bookings this quarter. Just curious, kind of current backlog in gas power and sort of how you see the slope of that over the next couple of years.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

I don't know that I have the exact backlog on gas generation. Blake, do you have that?

Blake Holcomb

Yeah. Sorry, Sean. I don't have that in front of me right now. What was the rest of your question?

Sean Milligan
Sean Milligan
Analyst at Needham & Company

Just that was obviously a big bookings number. I think gas power is accelerating for you, but just curious kind of how the slope looks for you kind of back half of this year at 2027, 2028. When you talk about the $1.4 billion.

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

Yeah.

Sean Milligan
Sean Milligan
Analyst at Needham & Company

In bookings, how does that flow through?

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

Yeah. No, good question. We're expecting growth in the back half of the year relative to the front half of the year. I think we're still on track for the full year to be kind of in the $500 million-$600 million range for nat gas generation. Comfortably growing next year based on the backlog we've signed so far and our view to potentially other signings in the back half of the year, $800 million to comfortably $1 billion in revenue next year.

Sean Milligan
Sean Milligan
Analyst at Needham & Company

Okay. Great. Just a follow-up question on sort of Texas exposure. There was a, I guess, press release by Greg earlier this week around pausing data centers. That seems to put more of an emphasis on bringing your own power. Just curious for you all, in terms of the addressable market, One, do you think that slows down anything for you in Texas? How much of the revenue is coming from Texas currently? Or as bring your own power becomes more important, does your revenue opportunity per data center go up?

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah. Thanks for the question, Sean. We saw that memo from the governor. First, I think it's not surprising that an elected official is trying to guard against their constituencies paying more for utilities, whether it's water or power. It's a trend that we're seeing across the country. The first thing I'd say is there is a strong demand environment created by AI data centers. We're seeing that CapEx play out, and we have a skill set that affords us the opportunity to grow there. Of our portfolio, it's not huge. At any given time, it's probably 10%-15% of the total portfolio. Our exposure, we're not wedded completely to that, but we are tracking it.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Most of the opportunities that we see anecdotally with the data center development are on-premise generation, so would address some of the concerns in the governor's memo instruction to ERCOT.

Okay. I apologize. Just on the PayneCrest integration, you said it's exceeding expectations. I'm just curious as to the core region in Missouri. We've seen a lot of activity with, I believe, a fairly significant customer of PayneCrest, Ameren. I was also wondering about the relationship with Meta. I believe you had done work on a Nebraska data center project. I'm wondering if any of those customers are active right now in your backlog or soon to be.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah. Thanks, Brian. We typically don't call out individual customers, but I will say the hyperscaler CapEx and PayneCrest's resume in doing that work for customers is very relevant. The relationship that they have with one hyperscaler in particular, given their track record in the region, is what's allowing them to capture further work. Their meaningful gate to growth is resources. Just like any of the end markets, most of the end markets we're in, they are labor resource-constrained. They're looking at the opportunity funnel in front of them, and the hyperscaler gives them visibility to their projects and doing well to add that to backlog. Just in the quarter, PayneCrest, in addition to the backlog we acquired with the acquisition, on top of that, they added $250 million in bookings in the quarter. A positive signal and trend for them.

Brian Russo
Brian Russo
Analyst at Jefferies

Okay, great. Just to follow up on the gas gen opportunity, seems like a nice bookings quarter and more to come to what is a nice step up in 2027 revenue. Just curious, how many crews do you have currently, or how many projects can you handle in any given year? What's the long-term target to scale up that end market?

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah. When I started last year, I think we were saying a half a dozen teams. We've invested in that in the last several months. We're up to eight or nine unique teams, we'll continue to. It is a meaningful question given the demand for that expertise. We continue to look for opportunities to add talent and create teams. The funnel is, again, as I said, the demand is outstripping supply there. It's about eight to nine teams today.

Your next question comes from the line of Sangita Jain with KeyBanc Capital Markets. Sangita, your line is open. Please go ahead.

Sangita Jain
Sangita Jain
Analyst at KeyBanc Capital Markets

Great. Thank you so much for taking my questions. If I can ask one on renewables, actually energy margins. Appreciate the updated margin range. I'm just trying to think of how we should think about the cadence in the H2. Should we assume that energy margins go back to the 10%-12% range by the fourth quarter, or is it going to be more of an even split between 3Q and 4Q?

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

Sangita, we're not going to get back up to 10%-12%. It'll be sequential, I think. I think Q3, and I'm kind of going off the top of my head right now, is going to be kind of in that 6%-8% range. I think Q4 is going to be more kind of 8%-10% range, and then we'll get back to full 10%-12% next year.

Sangita Jain
Sangita Jain
Analyst at KeyBanc Capital Markets

Got it. Thank you. Then on pipelines, appreciate Koti's comments that you're looking at a lot of projects that could start bringing revenue in late 2027, early 2028. I'm just trying to understand better on what's kind of guiding that outlook. Is it pipeline pipe availability? Is it permitting, or is it just you guys waiting for the right projects to come in?

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah, I'd say, Sangita, the customer's procurement, knowing that they're in an environment where resources are scarce and labor availability, they're just doing their procurements early in the cycle. I'd say from what we've seen historically, doing tender processes a year and a half and potentially two years in advance is probably a longer cycle we've seen historically. I think it's them just being more proactive on securing those resources well in advance. It is a competitive environment.

I guess I'll start with utility because nobody seems to be going there yet. In terms of, obviously you mentioned the communications business, and that's the reason for the slowdown. Any color around growth, either sequentially or year-over-year for the utility business and the balance of 2026? Bigger picture, just given the levels of demand that you see over a multi-year period for the utilities business, how should we think or how are you thinking about organic growth in the utility segment over the medium term beyond this year?

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah. On the comms side, first just that piece of it, we do see BEAD programs and line of sight to few hundred million dollars that we're tracking in BEAD funding. There might be a little bit of a slowdown as programs switch to that BEAD funding. Overall, utilities, we're very optimistic, particularly around power delivery. We're seeing nice margin improvement. The demand side of that is very high. Customers are shifting their focus from distribution to transmission substation. You saw the positive trend in backlog in our MSA movement, which is almost all utilities. Last quarter, we had, and I think from memory, a half billion dollar add, and this quarter another $1.5 billion addition. I think we see strength in that market, and again, it's another area where resources are tight.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

We're seeing customers that have current relationships with some of our peer set, and they're tapped out, and they're looking for additional help and assistance. I think we see organic opportunity with existing customers as well as business acquisition opportunities with new customers.

Lee Jagoda

Yes. Absolutely. That's what we're seeing this year as well, just like we have in previous years.

Lee Jagoda
Lee Jagoda
Analyst at CJS Securities

Okay. Koti, I know you had engaged some third-party consultants, and at least last update, they were still engaged to kind of go through the process with the remaining projects here. Couple of questions there. One, how much is the total expense from that expected in 2026? Is it your expectation that once these projects are done, you no longer need these third-party consultants to kind of be there?

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Lee, it's compensation for one consultant, so it's insignificant to what we're talking about here. The focus is really on the one project that completes at the end of the year. That person, along with our leadership team, was on site last week, so they're giving me sort of the weekly updates. Not a significant expense and very good investment of the skill set and expertise to give us better surety on hitting our milestones.

Lee Jagoda
Lee Jagoda
Analyst at CJS Securities

One more if I can sneak it in. SG&A, you were commenting, one of the, I guess, tailwinds is just lower incentive comp. Can you quantify that and then kind of give us a sense of incentive comps for the year or the variance year-over-year, just so we can understand what may be added back to next year's number?

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

Yeah. I don't know that I have the exact number for the change in incentive comp this year. It's probably in the $5 million-$10 million range, would be a rough guess. Just remember the offset increase, SG&A, is a pretty significant amount of amortization related to PayneCrest this year that's driving it higher. A lot of that will continue into next year, but it's non-cash.

Adam Thalhimer
Analyst at Thompson Davis

Hey, good morning, guys. Also wanted to ask about the Nat Gas Generation Awards, the $1.4 billion. Two questions on that. Is it all simple cycle? Geographically, where are those awards? What does the funnel look like?

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah. Thanks for the question, Adam. These all happen to be simple cycle. Most of the portfolio, as I said before, is simple cycle, and it's basically informed by time to market. I think we have a handful of projects that are combined cycle that are in the funnel, but not in backlog. The geographies are Texas, Missouri, Nevada, and various sizes of capacity.

Adam Thalhimer
Analyst at Thompson Davis

The funnel piece? What do you think-

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah, the funnel is very strong. Sorry. Yeah. Funnel in that market's gone up. I think last quarter, it was a little over $6 billion. I think now it's over $8 billion. 8 point-

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

$7 billion-$8 billion. Yeah.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

It's over $8 billion that we're tracking. Importantly, because the market is constrained in terms of resources, we're very diligent in customer selection and project selection. We're remaining very disciplined in terms of risk posture and overall making sure our value proposition is understood.

Adam Thalhimer
Analyst at Thompson Davis

Okay, last one real quick. On the fiber side, you alluded to some big potential awards. How much revenue could those generate?

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

There's like $300 million or so in pursuits. We won't win all that work. Given the size of the portfolio today, I think we have aptitude for it to grow. The BEAD Funding Project specifically that we're tracking, I think amount to $300 million. As a business today, we do around $400 million+. It does give us a line of sight to some projects. There's the BEAD funding and there's also the fiber that interconnects data centers that's also a meaningful CapEx that we're trying to pursue, this is how these data center clusters need to operate together, requiring low latency. That fiber spend is also something we're tracking.

Your next question comes from the line of Brent Thielman with Oppenheimer. Brent, your line is now open. Please go ahead.

Brent Thielman
Brent Thielman
Analyst at Oppenheimer

Yeah, thanks. The pipeline of new award potential you talked about in renewables, are those more aligned with your traditional sort of markets and geographies? Is the company still kind of evaluating and pursuing newer geographies? Koti, if you could just talk about the risk parameters you've embedded in the pursuit process going forward for that piece of the business.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah. To the first part of your question, the answer is yes. All of our pursuits are in geographies where we have a resume, understand the labor posture, understand the jurisdictions having authority, and so very comfortable with those pursuits. The going forward, from learnings from the past, it's to remain disciplined, and not pursue work in areas or geographies, where we don't have understanding of the local labor market or local conditions. As well in terms is remaining disciplined on risk posture. I had mentioned before, I think it was in Q1, we did pass on an opportunity where terms and conditions didn't comport with our overall risk posture. That's really just a compass going forward to maintain that rigid discipline. Again, demand environment is very strong for our services, so we can be very disciplined and stick to our overall risk-reward balance.

Brent Thielman
Brent Thielman
Analyst at Oppenheimer

Okay. On PayneCrest, any strategic initiatives you're pursuing there now that it's a few more months under your ownership? I'm thinking along the lines of a refocus of those operations away from any legacy pursuits that could be lower margin or something that doesn't align with your risk profile.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah, it's a good question, Brent, and actually from our due diligence and then as we've done a couple of months of integration, it's actually the opposite. We call it a light touch integration and not getting in the way. They have been run historically as a conservative company and been very conservative in their approach in new acquisitions of customers. Their exposure to the data center market, we like. It's not a majority of their portfolio. They have other industrial clients in their backyard, where they have long-term relationships and good contract terms. It's a little bit of make sure they're integrated with the system. There are some revenue synergies in parts of our portfolio where we use subs. They have that expertise in-house, so we'll have the opportunity to bring them into the fold.

Koti Vadlamudi

Thank you so much. Good morning, gentlemen. Ken, in terms of the EBITDA framework that you laid out, I get to an EBITDA of $282 million, vis-à-vis the guidance of $275 million-$325 million. Did I miss something, in terms of add backs? Are we kind of saying we're more comfortable with the low end and leaving room for upside?

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen

Yeah, look, our forecast for the year was like $350 million-$400 million of free cash flow. I think basically you can just subtract $200 million out of it. That's essentially the impact from the renewables projects. Right now we're looking at probably $150 million-$200 million for the full year.

Manish Somaiya

Yeah, it was $2 billion.

Philip Shen
Philip Shen
Analyst at ROTH Capital Partners

Great. Okay. Thanks, Ken. As it relates to back on renewables, how have compensation or incentive structures for project executives and estimators been adjusted, if at all? So that the more stringent risk-reward criteria are not undermined by traditional volume or booking-driven bonuses. What leading indicators do you think the board and management will use in the next year to demonstrate that the new processes are actually improving bid quality and execution consistency? Thanks, guys.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah. Phil, there's discretion in compensation at my level, and what we've done is incent the project teams, in particular field leadership. Some of their comp is cash, but some of their comp is also going forward in RSUs, restricted stock that vests over time. The theory is we want them to be aligned to value creation that the company creates in project execution. I'd say for leading indicators going forward, the compensation mechanisms that are in place today do have both long-term mechanisms around value creation, I think they're aligned from an accountability standpoint. I think from a go-forward standpoint, what we do with the field teams in deeper reaching in RSUs and stock ownership is a lever for us to maybe draw down a little bit harder driving forward.

Philip Shen
Philip Shen

Want to make sure they're incented appropriately. It's more along those lines around the changes.

Hey, thanks for taking the questions. Just a question on the renewables business, given the backlog visibility you have and potential for new growth on bookings this year and later next year. How should I think about the 2027 growth versus 2026 or 2025, compared to what you've said in the past? Thanks.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi

Maheep, I'm trying to make sure I understood the question. Are you looking at revenue growth into 2027 relative to 2026?

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

I think what we said in our earlier Q&A there is that historically we've grown exponentially in the renewables segment. When I look at 2024 to 2025, I think it was $2 billion-$3 billion. 2026 is a bit of a reset year. We're looking at H2 of this year, in particular Q4. The funnel for renewables opportunities is pretty strong and where we sit at backlog and I look at burn, then we factor in what we're going to be potentially awarded, that will inform our 2027 guide for the renewable segment. At this time, right now, just being pragmatic, we think it could potentially be a modest growth off of 2026. We'll give more prescriptive color as we see that trend in backlog.

Maheep Mandloi
Maheep Mandloi
Analyst at Mizuho Securities

No, sir, that's helpful. On the balance sheet side, we kind of talked about the internals on the free cash flow and the renewable impact, how should we think about leverage for next year and potential capital for additional M&A going forward? Thanks.

Ken Dodgen
Ken Dodgen
CFO at Primoris

I touched on this a little bit in my comments. We're about 1.6x EBITDA right now. We'll trip up to probably a little under two, I'm guessing right now, in Q3. From there, we'll start declining back down, both based on debt payoff and EBITDA growth. I expect us to probably comfortably be back down to 1.5x by the end of the year. Over the course of 2027, trend down to 1x again. Which between that and availability on our revolver and our cash balances, gives us plenty of capital to continue to support organic growth, to do opportunistic acquisitions, and to the extent the board wants to pull that lever to do additional stock buyback.

Joseph Osha
Joseph Osha
Analyst at Guggenheim

Thanks. Good morning, guys. I have two questions. First, returning to the single-cycle gas business. Obviously, that's doing great. One risk factor there that does pop up every once in a while is whether your customers actually do have those turbine slots secured. I did want to check to understand if you've gone out and talked to your customers and made sure that that process is de-risked. I do have a follow-up. Thanks.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Yeah, Joe, I'll answer that. It is one of the criteria for us. We evaluate customers and project selection is that they're in the queue. Our relationships with those OEMs is pretty significant. In some cases, they're actually the ones that are making the market for us. They'll pair us with a potential client. Yeah, we have visibility of that, and the other piece of that is purchase power agreements, and seeing where they are with respect to that piece of it too.

Joseph Osha

Joseph Osha
Joseph Osha
Analyst at Guggenheim

Okay, thanks. Then to return to renewables, sorry to ask yet another question. Just if I hear what you're saying, you've got this $2 billion backlog you're going to burn. It sounds like you're kind of reopening the funnel to booking as we get into the H2 of the year. Just timing-wise, anything you book late this year probably isn't going to start to burn until late 2027, 2028. It sounds like, I heard what you said earlier, moderate growth, but it sounds like the business doesn't really kind of get back onto a more normal cadence relative to history until 2028. Is that a fair observation?

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

I would disagree, Joe, with that observation. I think we're probably being a little bit conservative. We have seen some projects move to the right, so predicting that timing is probably weighing in. I think when there is a significant funnel for us and irrespective of timing, I think it shapes well for us. Trying to predict in each quarter when we land this stuff in backlog is sometimes a little tricky. I looked at historical quarters over the last year, where we sat with backlog and what we burned, and there is a general track record there, which is why I think we're looking at the opportunity in Q4. As we sit at the end of the year, it'll give us a good projection on 2027.

Your next question comes from the line of Adam Bubes with Goldman Sachs. Adam, your line is now open. Please go ahead.

Analyst at Goldman Sachs

Yeah. Hi. Good morning. This is Anuj on behalf of Adam. In light of recent cost overruns and renewables, should we expect any changes to the contract structures or targeted margin profile on future projects? Thank you.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

No, I think what I said before is just more rigidity and discipline in risk identification and the contract terms we take on. That's about the pursuits, making sure we've done good discrimination in the portfolio and not gone into geographies that are uncertain for us, or we don't have experience. That's that piece. On the contract terms, there are some learnings. We'll probably be stricter in some terms in the contract from a language standpoint that allow us a more favorable climate for recovery if we've given reasonable methods from a construction execution approach. Nothing specific to comment here. It's probably just more discipline going forward.

Analyst at Goldman Sachs

Got it. On the energy segment, pretty strong bookings in this quarter. Can you please parse out the awards by end market? Thank you.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi

On the energy segment, bookings were strong in this quarter. Was hoping if you can shed some light on the awards by different end markets within the energy segment.

Koti Vadlamudi
Koti Vadlamudi
President and CEO at Primoris

Thanks. I got it. It was $3.9 billion was additional backlog, $2.4 billion of that was energy, $1.5 billion utilities. Your question is of the $2.4 billion, how does that break down? $1.4 billion of that was in the gas power generation, which we talked about. Those are all simple cycle projects that were awarded. The balance, the $1 billion is comprised of about $450 million from PayneCrest. Some of that backlog came with the acquisition, but what I'd importantly note, they had $250 million on top of that they booked in the quarter. Nice significant contribution from PayneCrest. The balance would be in the rest of energy industrial, including pipeline.
