Bowman Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: BWMN) (“Bowman” or the “Company”), a national engineering and infrastructure services firm supporting owners and developers of the built environment, today released financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

“We continue to execute on our strategic growth and revenue diversification plans,” said Gary Bowman, Chairman and CEO of Bowman. “We generated record revenue and adjusted EBITDA during a quarter where we closed on five acquisitions representing approximately $36 million of annualized revenue. Our orders were strong, and our backlog increased by nearly $90 million as compared to last year. During the second quarter we increased headcount by 17%, with the majority coming through acquisitions, where we believe there is a meaningful amount of utilization optimization to be achieved over time through both revenue synergies and work sharing. We continue to feel confident about our execution and performance as reflected by our increased financial guidance.”

  • Gross revenue of $82.8 million, compared to $62.4 million, a 33% increase

Financing Activities during and subsequent to the second quarter 2023:

On August 2, 2023, the Company announced that it had entered into a First Amendment to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The amendment increased the maximum allowable borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility to $70 million from $50 million, adjusted certain provisions relating to interest rate spreads and unused fees, and extended the term of the Revolver to July 31, 2025. Other general terms of the Revolving Credit Facility remained unchanged.

Increasing FY 2023 Guidance

The Company is increasing its full year 2023 outlook for Net Service Billing to be in the range of $300 to $315 million and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $47 to $52 million. The current outlook for 2023 is based on completed acquisitions as of the date of this release and does not include contributions from any future acquisitions. Management discusses the Company’s acquisition pipeline and its prospective impact during regularly scheduled earnings calls.
