Tutor Perini reports Q3 EPS (71c) vs. (63c) last year

Reports Q3 revenue $1.06B vs. $1.07B last year. Ronald Tutor, CEO, commented, “We generated very strong, near-record operating cash in the third quarter and the outlook for continued strong cash generation over the next several quarters is excellent. In addition, our backlog remains healthy and we anticipate that it will increase significantly over the next 12 to 18 months as we bid and expect to capture our share of various large project opportunities amid a robust demand environment bolstered by substantial government funding and limited competition for many of the larger projects.” Tutor added, “Importantly, we are focused on our debt maturities and will soon embark upon a plan that we anticipate will result in a timely refinancing of our debt. In the fourth quarter, we began accumulating cash for deleveraging our balance sheet and to date have set aside more than $70 million to be put toward the planned refinancing. Lastly, we expect improved performance in the fourth quarter of 2023 and for next year.”
