“Our third quarter results were ahead of our expectations and we saw a significant improvement from our second quarter results,” said Tom Brisbin, Willdan’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Additionally, the LADWP program, our largest program prior to the pandemic, restarted. On September 17^th^, we received the notification to proceed from SCE. We have now received all approvals and are up and running on all new California IOU contracts. In this third quarter, we also won a new, three-year, $90 million contract with a large New York agency. These wins support our confidence to achieve double-digit organic growth in each of the next three years.”
Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Consolidated contract revenue for the third quarter decreased 5.9%, to $98.3 million, while Net Revenue increased 6.8% to $54.5 million (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below). The increase was primarily due to changes in the mix of revenues to those which contain a higher percentage of labor costs and lower percentage of material costs and installation subcontracting. The shift in revenue mix accounts for an increase in gross profit margin to 38.8% of consolidated contract revenue in the three months ended October 1, 2021 compared to 33.2% in the three months ended October 2, 2020.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased by $3.6 million, or 11.0%, in the three months ended October 1, 2021 compared to the three months ended October 2, 2020. The increase in G&A expenses was primarily attributed to higher wage and related benefit costs and an increase in professional service fees and travel.
Operating income was $1.4 million for the three months ended October 1, 2021 compared to $1.6 million for the same period a year ago as a result of the factors noted above. As a percentage of consolidated contract revenue, operating income was relatively flat for the three months ended October 1, 2021 compared to the three months ended October 2, 2020.
Total other expense, net, decreased $0.3 million, or 53.4%, for the three months ended October 1, 2021 compared to the three months ended October 2, 2020 as a result of lower interest income and lower interest expense related to principal reductions in term loans.
We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.2 million for the three months ended October 1, 2021 compared to a tax benefit of $1.6 million for the three months ended October 2, 2020. The decrease in the income tax benefit is primarily attributable to higher pre-tax income combined with decreases related to energy efficiency building deductions.
Net income was $0.8 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the three months ended October 1, 2021, as compared to net income of $2.6 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the three months ended October 2, 2020. Adjusted Net Income (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the third quarter of 2021 was $6.9 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, as compared to Adjusted Net Income of $8.5 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) was $10.1 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared to $11.0 million in 2020.
Nine Months 2021 Financial Results
Consolidated contract revenue decreased 11.1%, in the nine months ended October 1, 2021 to $261.5 million primarily due to decreased contract revenues from our construction management activities in our Energy segment and the impact of having one fewer week in our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2021 as compared to our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2020.
Net Revenue for the nine months ended October 1, 2021 was $149.7 million, an increase of 4.1%, from $143.8 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2020 as increasing utility program revenue offset the reductions in construction management activities.
Direct costs of consolidated contract revenue decreased $38.8 million, or 19.5%, in the nine months ended October 1, 2021 compared to the nine months ended October 2, 2020, primarily as a result of decreased contract revenues from construction management activities in our Energy segment and the impact of having one fewer week in our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2021 as compared to our first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2020. The change in the mix of revenues resulted in a gross profit margin of 38.7% in 2021 compared to 32.3% in 2020.
G&A expenses increased by $5.6 million, or 5.3%, in the nine months ended October 1, 2021 compared to the nine months ended October 2, 2020. The increase in G&A expenses in the Energy segment and Engineering and Consulting segment was primarily attributed to higher wage and related benefit costs and an increase in professional service fees and travel.
Operating loss was $9.8 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2021 compared to a loss of $10.5 million in 2020 as a result of the factors noted above.
Total other expense, net, was $3.1 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2021 compared to $3.3 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2020.
Income tax benefit was $5.4 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2021 compared to a tax benefit of $3.3 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2020. The increase in the income tax benefit is primarily attributable to an increase in various tax deductions and tax credits related to stock compensation and project-related incentives, and an additional tax benefit related to the net operating loss carryback provision of the CARES Act.
Our net loss was $7.5 million, or ($0.61) per diluted share, for the nine months ended October 1, 2021, as compared to a net loss of $10.5 million, or ($0.90) for the nine months ended October 2, 2020. Adjusted Net Income (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) for the nine months ended October 1, 2021 was $12.2 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, as compared to Adjusted Net Income of $9.0 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the nine months ended October 2, 2020.
2
Adjusted EBITDA (see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below) was $18.1 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2021 compared to $19.5 million in 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of October 1, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.8 million. Cash flows used in operating activities were $1.7 million for the nine months ended October 1, 2021, as compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $26.9 million for the nine months ended October 2, 2020. Cash flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended October 1, 2021 resulted primarily due to the increased demand for working capital related to the resumption of utility programs that were suspended in 2020 and start-up costs associated with certain new contract awards.
As of October 1, 2021, there was $102.3 million outstanding under our term loan credit facilities. We had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility with $50.0 million in available capacity. We also have a Delayed Draw Term Loan facility with $20.0 million available for draw upon satisfaction of certain covenants. We believe that we have adequate resources and liquidity to fund cash requirements and debt repayments for at least the next 12 months.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
“Net Revenue,” defined as contract revenue as reported in accordance with GAAP minus subcontractor services and other direct costs, is a non-GAAP financial measure, Net Revenue is a supplemental measure that Willdan believes enhances investors’ ability to analyze Willdan’s business trends and performance because it substantially measures the work performed by Willdan’s employees. In the course of providing services, Willdan routinely subcontracts various services. Generally, these subcontractor services and other direct costs are passed through to Willdan’s clients and, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and industry practice, are included in Willdan’s revenue when it is Willdan’s contractual responsibility to procure or manage such subcontracted activities. Because subcontractor services and other direct costs can vary significantly from project to project and period to period, changes in revenue may not necessarily be indicative of Willdan’s business trends. Accordingly, Willdan segregates subcontractor services and other direct costs from revenue to promote a better understanding of Willdan’s business by evaluating revenue exclusive of subcontract services and other direct costs associated with external service providers. A reconciliation of Willdan’s contract revenue as reported in accordance with GAAP to Net Revenue is provided at the end of this press release.
“Adjusted EBITDA,” defined as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, stock-based compensation, interest accretion, depreciation and amortization, transaction costs and gain on sale of equipment, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure used by Willdan’s management to measure Willdan’s
3
operating performance. Willdan believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows Willdan’s management to evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period and against its peers without regard to its financing methods, capital structure and non-operating expenses. Willdan uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance for, among other things, budgeting, forecasting and incentive compensation purposes.
Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s costs of capital, stock-based compensation, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets. A reconciliation of net income as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this press release.
“Adjusted Net Income,” defined as net income plus stock-based compensation, intangible amortization, interest accretion and transaction costs, each net of tax, is a non-GAAP financial measure.
“Adjusted Diluted EPS,” defined as net income plus stock-based compensation, intangible amortization, interest accretion and transaction costs, each net of tax, all divided by the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are supplemental measures used by Willdan’s management to measure its operating performance. Willdan believes Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS are useful because they allow Willdan’s management to more closely evaluate and explain the operating results of Willdan’s business by removing certain non-operating expenses. Reconciliations of net income as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Net Income and diluted EPS as reported in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted Diluted EPS are provided at the end of this press release.
Willdan’s definitions of Net Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS have limitations as analytical tools and may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures or from similarly named measures Willdan has reported in prior periods. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as contract revenue, net income and diluted EPS.
Forward Looking Statements
Statements in this press release that are not purely historical, including statements regarding Willdan’s intentions, hopes, beliefs, expectations, representations, projections, estimates, plans or predictions of the future are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including statements regarding the impact of Covid-19 on Willdan’s business, Willdan’s ability to capitalize on increased energy efficiency spending in large markets and expected benefits from its acquisitions. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this press release are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, the extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic and measures taken to contain its spread ultimately impact Willdan’s business, results of operation and financial condition, including the speed with which its various direct install programs for small businesses are able to resume normal operations following government mandated shutdowns and phased re-openings; and Willdan’s ability to expand its services or meet the needs of customers in markets in which it operates. It is important to note that Willdan’s actual results could differ materially from those in any such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from its expectations include, but are not limited to, Willdan’s ability to adequately complete projects in a timely manner, Willdan’s ability to compete successfully in the highly competitive energy services market, changes in state, local and regional economies and government budgets, Willdan’s ability to win new contracts, to renew existing contracts and to compete effectively for contracts awarded through bidding processes, Willdan’s ability to successfully integrate its acquisitions and execute on its growth strategy, Willdan’s ability to make principal and interest payments as they come due and comply with financial and other covenants in its credit agreement, and Willdan’s ability to obtain financing and to refinance its outstanding debt as it matures.
The factors noted above and risks included in Willdan’s other SEC filings may be increased or intensified as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, including ongoing resurgences of the Covid-19 virus. The extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic ultimately impacts Willdan’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. See the risk factor in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in Willdan’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2021, “The Covid-19 pandemic and health and safety measures intended to reduce its spread have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our
4
business, results of operations and financial condition.” for more information. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Willdan, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements and risk factors disclosed from time to time in Willdan’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended January 1, 2021, as such disclosures may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports Willdan files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K. Willdan cautions investors not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Willdan disclaims any obligation to, and does not undertake to, update or revise any forward-looking statements in this press release unless required by law.
