North American Construction reports Q1 adjusted EPS 78c, consensus 64c

Reports Q1 revenue $297.03M, consensus $251.05M. “Our Q1 performance was in line with our EBITDA guidance, slightly exceeding 20% of our annual estimate. Our operations teams continue working diligently to optimize the utilization of and returns on our heavy equipment assets through an increased bid pipeline overall and, more specifically, some fantastic Australian opportunities with long-term commitments and blue-chip customers,” said Joe Lambert, CEO. “This year’s quarterly results will vary significantly from historical averages with a ramp up from now to Q3 peak EBITDA and an expected approximate 45/55 split between first and second half of the year, but we remain confident and committed in delivering into our guidance range and setting ourselves up for improving utilization and return on our assets for many years to come.”
