Management Comments
Rick Swartz, MYR's President and CEO, said, "We finished 2022 with strong financial results in the fourth quarter, and annual revenues were $3.01 billion, setting a record high for the eighth consecutive year. Fourth quarter 2022 net income was $24.6 million, a 18.8 percent increase over the fourth quarter of 2021, with revenues, consolidated gross profit and EBITDA increasing compared to the same period of 2021. Our backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $2.50 billion, reflecting our ability to foster strong client relationships and compete effectively in the market." Mr. Swartz continued, "The dedication and talent of our team members contributed to our growing success in 2022. Market indicators remain positive, and we look forward to positioning the company for increased success in 2023. Our corporate values coupled with a commitment to our clients' success will be the foundation upon which we will continue to grow."
Fourth Quarter Results
MYR reported fourth-quarter 2022 revenues of $864.0 million, an increase of $218.0 million, or 33.7 percent, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Specifically, our T&D segment reported record quarterly revenues of $513.7 million, an increase of $160.4 million, or 45.4 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to an increase in revenue on transmission projects, an increase in revenues on distribution projects, including incremental distribution revenues from the acquired Powerline Plus Companies. Our C&I segment also reported record quarterly revenues of $350.3 million, an increase of $57.6 million, or 19.6 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to an increase in revenue on various-sized projects in certain geographic areas.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $96.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $83.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. Gross margin decreased to 11.1 percent for the fourth quarter of 2022 from 12.9 percent for the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to overall cost increases mainly associated with supply chain disruptions and inflation. Gross margin was also negatively impacted by labor inefficiencies, inclement weather experienced on certain projects and an unfavorable change order on a project. These margin decreases were partially offset by a favorable change order adjustment, better-than-anticipated productivity on certain projects and a favorable job close out. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects were not significant for the fourth quarter of 2022 and resulted in gross margin increase of 1.0 percent for the fourth quarter of 2021.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased to $58.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $52.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to the acquisition of the Powerline Plus Companies and an increase in employee-related expenses to support the growth in our operations.
Amortization of intangible assets increased to $2.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $0.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The period-over-period increase was primarily due to amortization related to certain intangibles acquired with the Powerline Plus Companies.
Interest expense increased to $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The period-over-period increase was primarily attributable to higher outstanding debt and interest rates during the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
Income tax expense was $11.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, with an effective tax rate of 31.3 percent, compared to income tax expense of $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, which represented 29.9 percent of pretax income. The increase in the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily due to adjustments associated with the prior year global intangible low tax income ("GILTI").
For the fourth quarter of 2022, net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. was $24.6 million, or $1.46 per diluted share attributable to MYR Group Inc., compared to $20.7 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, for the same period of 2021. Fourth-quarter 2022 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $52.0 million, compared to $41.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Full Year Results
MYR reported record revenues of $3.01 billion for the full year of 2022, an increase of $510.2 million, or 20.4 percent, compared to $2.50 billion for the full year of 2021. Specifically, the T&D segment reported revenues of $1.75 billion, an increase of $444.2 million, or 34.1 percent, from the full year of 2021, primarily related to an increase in revenue on transmission projects, and an increase in revenues on distribution projects, including incremental distribution revenues from the Powerline Plus Companies. The C&I segment reported full year of 2022 revenues of $1.26 billion, an increase of $66.1 million, or 5.5 percent, from the full year of 2021, primarily due to an increase in revenue in certain geographic areas.
Consolidated gross profit was $344.0 million for the full year of 2022, compared to $325.0 million for the full year of 2021. The increase in gross profit was due to higher revenues, partially offset by lower margins. Gross margin decreased to 11.4 percent for the full year of 2022 from 13.0 percent for the full year of 2021. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to overall cost increases mainly associated with supply chain disruptions and inflation. Gross margin was also negatively impacted by labor and equipment inefficiencies, unfavorable change order adjustments and inclement weather experienced on certain projects. These margin decreases were partially offset by favorable job close outs, better-than-anticipated productivity on certain projects and favorable change order adjustments on certain projects. Changes in estimates of gross profit on certain projects resulted in a gross margin decrease of 0.4 percent and an increase of 0.4 percent for the full years of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
SG&A increased to $222.4 million for the full year of 2022, compared to $207.2 million for the full year of 2021. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to the acquisition of the Powerline Plus Companies and an increase in employee-related expenses to support the growth in our operations, partially offset by a decrease in employee incentive compensation costs.
Amortization of intangible assets increased to $9.0 million for the full year of 2022, compared to $2.3 million for the full year of 2021. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to amortization related to certain intangibles acquired with the Powerline Plus Companies.
Interest expense increased to $3.6 million for the full year of 2022, compared to $1.8 million for the full year of 2021. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to higher outstanding debt and interest rates during the full year of 2022 as compared to the full year of 2021.
Income tax expense was $30.8 million for the full year of 2022, with an effective tax rate of 27.0 percent, compared to income tax expense of $31.3 million for the full year of 2021, with an effective tax rate of 26.9 percent. The increase in the tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to adjustments associated with the prior year global intangible low tax income ("GILTI"), partially offset by a favorable impact from stock compensation excess tax benefits.
For the full year of 2022, net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. was $83.4 million, or $4.91 per diluted share attributable to MYR Group Inc., compared to $85.0 million, or $4.95 per diluted share, for the same period of 2021. Full-year 2022 EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was a record $175.8 million, compared to $164.2 million for the full year of 2021.

As of December 31, 2022, MYR's backlog was $2.50 billion, compared to $2.48 billion as of September 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, T&D backlog was $1.07 billion and C&I backlog was $1.44 billion. Total backlog at December 31, 2022 increased $712.7 million, or 39.8 percent, from the $1.79 billion reported at December 31, 2021.
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2022, MYR had $349.3 million of borrowing availability under our $375 million revolving credit facility.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement MYR's financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), MYR uses certain non-GAAP measures. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measures of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found at the end of this release. MYR's definitions of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
MYR believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful because they (i) provide both management and investors meaningful supplemental information regarding financial performance by excluding certain expenses and benefits that may not be indicative of recurring core business operating results, (ii) permit investors to view MYR's performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate MYR's past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance, (iii) publicly disclose results that are relevant to financial covenants included in MYR's credit facility and (iv) otherwise provide supplemental information that may be useful to investors in evaluating MYR.

See notes at the end of this earnings release.
(1) Funded debt includes borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the outstanding balances of our outstanding equipment notes.
(2) These financial performance measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial statements. These measures are used by management to evaluate our past performance, our prospects for future performance and our ability to comply with certain material covenants as defined within our credit agreement, and to compare our results with those of our peers. In addition, we believe that certain of the measures, such as book value, tangible book value, free cash flow, asset turnover, return on equity and debt leverage are measures that are monitored by sureties, lenders, lessors, suppliers and certain investors. Our calculation of each measure is described in the following notes; our calculation may not be the same as the calculations made by other companies.
(3) EBIA, net of taxes is defined as net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. plus net interest plus amortization of intangible assets, less the tax impact of net interest and amortization of intangible assets. The tax impact of net interest and amortization of intangible assets is computed by multiplying net interest and amortization of intangible assets by the effective tax rate. Management uses EBIA, net of taxes, to measure our results exclusive of the impact of financing and amortization of intangible assets costs.
(4) EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to net cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Certain material covenants contained within our credit agreement are based on EBITDA with certain additional adjustments, including our interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio, which we must comply with to avoid potential immediate repayment of amounts borrowed or additional fees to seek relief from our lenders. In addition, management considers EBITDA a useful measure because it provides MYR Group Inc. and its investors with an additional tool to compare MYR Group Inc. operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes to not directly reflect the company's core operations. Management further believes that EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of MYR Group Inc. financial statements in evaluating the company's operating performance and cash flow because EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, useful lives placed on assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired.
(5) EBITDA per diluted share is calculated by dividing EBITDA by the weighted average number of diluted shares attributable to MYR Group Inc. outstanding for the period. EBITDA per diluted share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share.
(6) Free cash flow, which is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities minus cash flow used in purchasing property and equipment, is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net income attributable to MYR Group Inc., cash flow from operations or the change in cash on the balance sheet. Management views free cash flow as a measure of operational performance, liquidity and financial health.
(7) Book value per period end share is calculated by dividing total shareholders' equity at the end of the period by the period end shares outstanding.
(8) Tangible book value is calculated by subtracting goodwill and intangible assets at the end of the period from shareholders' equity at the end of the period. Tangible book value is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to book value or shareholders' equity.
(9) Tangible book value per period end share is calculated by dividing tangible book value at the end of the period by the period end number of shares outstanding. Tangible book value per period end share is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to income per diluted share.
(10) The funded debt to equity ratio is calculated by dividing total funded debt at the end of the period by total shareholders' equity at the end of the period.
(11) Asset turnover is calculated by dividing the current period revenue by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(12) Return on assets is calculated by dividing net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. for the period by total assets at the beginning of the period.
(13) Return on equity is calculated by dividing net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. for the period by total shareholders' equity at the beginning of the period.
(14) Period end shares is calculated by adding average common stock equivalents for the quarter to the period end balance of common shares outstanding. Period end shares is not recognized under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to diluted shares. Management views period end shares as a better measure of shares outstanding as of the end of the period.
(15) Average invested capital is calculated by adding net funded debt (total funded debt less cash and marketable securities) to total shareholders' equity and calculating the average of the beginning and ending of each period.
(16) Return on invested capital is calculated by dividing EBIA, net of taxes, less any dividends, by average invested capital. Return on invested capital is not recognized under GAAP, and is a key metric used by management to determine our executive compensation.
