Management Commentary

“Our second quarter continued to highlight the resilience of our business, the flexibility of our projects and the profitability of our model,” said Bruce Young, CEO of Concrete Pumping Holdings. “We experienced a record-setting cold weather event in our South and Central regional markets, yet we delivered a quarter that met our internal expectations. This included continued growth in our market share, strength in residential and infrastructure projects, and recovery in our commercial work. We also continued to demonstrate our strong financial profile with approximately $29 million in year-to-date free cash flow^1^ that contributed to us improving total available liquidity to $134.9 million. Given our execution to date, we remain in a strong position to execute upon our strategic priorities and financial outlook in 2021.”

^1^ Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, net debt and free cash flow are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a discussion of the definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to their most comparable GAAP measures.

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Results

Revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 increased 4% to $76.9 million compared to $74.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. The increase was driven by increased revenue from the Company’s U.K. Operations and its U.S. Concrete Waste Management business.

Gross profit in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 increased 5% to $33.3 million compared to $31.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin improved to 43.3% compared to 43.0% in the prior year quarter.

G&A expenses for the fiscal 2021 second quarter were $26.5 million compared to $26.4 million in the fiscal 2020 second quarter. As a percent of revenue, G&A expenses were 34.4% for the fiscal 2021 second quarter compared to 35.6% in the fiscal 2020 second quarter. Excluding amortization of intangible assets and stock-based compensation expense, G&A expenses were down $0.3 million year-over-year to $16.2 million (21.1% of revenue) from $16.4 million (22.2% of revenue).

Net loss attributable to common shareholders improved significantly to $11.4 million or $(0.21) per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $56.2 million or $(1.06) per diluted share. As previously disclosed, the Company recently determined that its outstanding warrants should be accounted for as liabilities and recorded at fair value on the date of the transaction and subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date. For the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a non-cash loss of $11.5 million and a non-cash gain of $3.3 million, respectively, associated with the change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

Excluding the after-tax impact from the $57.9 million goodwill and intangibles impairment charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and the non-cash gains or losses from the revaluation of warrant liabilities during both years, net income to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2021 was $0.1 million or $0.00 per diluted share versus net loss to common shareholders of $3.9 million or $(0.08) per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 increased 7% to $25.0 million compared to $23.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 32.6% compared to 31.8% in the year-ago quarter, with the improvement mainly due to the increase in revenues

Liquidity

On April 30, 2021, the Company had debt outstanding of $376.1 million, net debt of $362.4 million and total available liquidity of $134.9 million.

Segment Results

U.S. Concrete Pumping. Revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $56.2 million compared to $57.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by severe weather conditions in Texas. Net loss in the second quarter improved to $0.9 million compared to a net loss of $44.3 million in the prior year quarter, which included the aforementioned goodwill impairment. Adjusted EBITDA was flat at $16.3 million compared to the year-ago quarter.

U.K. Operations. **** Revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 41% to $11.9 million compared to $8.4 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was attributable to the region’s recovery from the impacts of COVID-19. Net income in the second quarter improved to $0.4 million compared to a net loss of $16.0 million in the prior year second quarter, which included the goodwill impairment. Adjusted EBITDA improved 64% to $4.1 million compared to $2.5 million in the year-ago quarter.

U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services. **** Revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 8% to $9.0 million compared to $8.3 million in the year-ago quarter. The increase was due to organic growth, pricing improvements and new product offerings. Net income in the second quarter was $0.8 million compared to $0.9 million in the prior year second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $4.0 million compared to $4.1 million in the year-ago quarter.

Fiscal Year 2021 Outlook

The Company continues to expect fiscal year 2021 revenue to range between $300.0 million to $310.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA to range between $105.0 million to $110.0 million, and free cash flow to range between $47.5 million and $52.5 million. The midpoint of the Company's free cash flow outlook implies an 11% yield to its current market capitalization of approximately $470 million.

Forward‐Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company’s actual results may differ from expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “outlook” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s expectations with respect to future performance, including the Company's fiscal year 2021 outlook. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the impacts on the Company related to the recent accounting restatement, material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and the assessment of complex accounting issues, as disclosed in the Company's From 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on June 11, 2021 (The "Amended 10-K"); the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic conditions on the Company; the outcome of any legal proceedings or demand letters that may be instituted against or sent to the Company or its subsidiaries; the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; the ability to complete targeted acquisitions and realize the expected benefits from recent acquisitions; changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Amended 10-K, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s management also uses this non-GAAP financial measure to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, determining incentive compensation and for budgeting and planning purposes. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in quarterly and annual financial reports prepared for the Company’s board of directors. The Company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating results and in comparing the Company’s financial results with competitors who also present similar non-GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, transaction expenses, loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation, other income, net, and other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA is not pro forma for acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue for the period presented. See below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Net debt is calculated as all amounts outstanding under debt agreements (currently this includes the Company’s term loan and revolving line of credit balances, excluding any offsets for capitalized deferred financing costs) measured in accordance with GAAP less cash. Cash is subtracted from the GAAP measure because it could be used to reduce the Company’s debt obligations. A limitation associated with using net debt is that it subtracts cash and therefore may imply that there is less Company debt than the most comparable GAAP measure indicates. CPH believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors in order to monitor the Company’s leverage and evaluate the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. See “Non-GAAP Measures (Reconciliation of Net Debt)” below for a reconciliation of Net Debt to amounts outstanding under debt agreements calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Free cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less net capital expenditures and cash paid for interest. This measure is not a substitute for cash flow from operations and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since certain non-discretionary expenditures, such as debt servicing payments, are not deducted from the measure. CPH believes this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to management and investors in order to monitor and evaluate the cash flow yield of the business.

The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, net debt and free cash flow to the applicable most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure. However, the Company has not reconciled the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA guidance range and free cash flow range included in this press release to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because this cannot be done without unreasonable effort due to the lack of predictability regarding the various reconciling items such as provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization**.**

Current and prospective investors should review the Company’s audited annual and unaudited interim financial statements, which are filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA, net debt and free cash flow differently and therefore these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

As a result of the business combination between our predecessor, Industrea Acquisition Corp., and the private operating company formerly called Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. (the “Business Combination”), the Company is the acquirer for accounting purposes and CPH is the acquiree and accounting predecessor. The Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes the Company’s presentations into two distinct periods, the period up to the Business Combination closing date (labeled “Predecessor”) and the period including and after that date (labeled “Successor”). The Business Combination was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of the net assets acquired. As the underlying business and financial results of the Successor and Predecessor entities are expected to be largely consistent, excluding the impact on certain financial statement line items that were impacted by the Business Combination, management has combined the fiscal year 2019 results of the Predecessor and Successor periods for comparability in certain tables below. Accordingly, in addition to presenting our results of operations as reported in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, the tables below present the non-GAAP combined results for the fiscal year 2019.
