Primoris (PRIM) Wins Multiple Energy Contracts for $650M
Read MoreHide Full Article
Primoris Services Corporation’s (PRIM - Free Report) Energy segment won several contracts worth $650 million.
These awards are spread across six states and include significant projects from state-of-the-art natural gas power generation plants. The natural gas power generation plants provide critical generation capacity in peak usage conditions to the highways and bridges for smooth communication.
These projects are expected to begin in the second and third quarters of 2023.
Energy/Renewables’ Continuous Contract Flow: A Boon
Primoris — a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company — has been reaping benefits from strong project execution in the Energy segment, which accounted for 40.3% of 2022 total revenues.
In April, the segment won two renewable energy contracts worth $200 million. One of these contracts was for a carbon capture, utilization and storage pipeline project located in the Midwest. The other contract’s scope includes the engineering, procurement and construction of a utility-scale solar facility in the Southwest.
In early 2023, Primoris won multiple solar projects worth $290 million. These contracts expand the company’s presence in new geographies and diversify its scope of work with smaller utility-scale solar projects.
It is to be noted that solar projects continue to drive the Energy segment. This segment’s revenues increased 71% in first-quarter 2023. The upside was backed by increased renewable energy activity, pipeline project work, industrial activity on the Gulf Coast and solid contributions from the PLH acquisition. Gross margin also rose 110 basis points, primarily on solid contributions from higher-margin renewable energy projects.
Total backlog at the first quarter’s end was $5,559.3 million, including $3,546.9 million as Fixed and $2,012.4 million as MSA. Of this backlog, the Energy segment contributed $3,602.2 million in the said period.
