Bowman Consulting reports Q2 adjusted EPS (3c), consensus 3c

Reports Q2 revenue $104.5M, consensus $110.06M. “Despite challenges we faced this quarter with conversion of awards to revenue, our sales are strong, our backlog is growing, and our M&A pipeline remains robust,” said Gary Bowman, Chairman and CEO of Bowman. “We believe the infrastructure design and engineering market continues to present positive demand signals supported by significant funding as evidenced by our backlog being up nearly 5% from the end of last quarter and 19% year-over-year, excluding backlog acquired in Q2. We have been notified of selection on multiple large transportation projects which are taking longer than expected to work their way through the final contracting and notice to proceed process, delaying our ability to begin our work and earn the associated revenue. We remain optimistic that several of these will commence in earnest during the second half of the year. We continue to focus on sustainable, long-term organic revenue growth and margin improvement, and I am confident that adjustments we are making with respect to market focus and labor will benefit our ability to deliver improvements on both fronts throughout the remainder of this year and into 2025.”
