Construction Partners Inc., a vertically integrated civil infrastructure company specializing in the construction and maintenance of roadways in local markets throughout the Sunbelt, reported financial and operating results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31.
Revenues were $571.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of 54% compared to $371.4 million in the same quarter last year. The $200.3 million revenue increase included $173.1 million of revenues attributable to acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2024, and an increase of approximately $27.2 million of revenues in the company’s existing markets.
- The mix of total revenue growth for the quarter was approximately 7% organic and approximately 47% from recent acquisitions.
- Gross profit was $71.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $38.8 million in the same quarter last year.
Fred J. (Jule) Smith III, the company’s president and chief executive officer, said, “We are pleased to report a strong second quarter marked by significant year-over-year growth in revenues, net income and Adjusted EBITDA, leading to an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.1%, up more than 400 basis points from the same quarter last year. Continuing the substantial momentum established in the first quarter of our fiscal year, the operational performance of our family of companies was outstanding, especially during this winter quarter, when shorter days and colder weather typically limit construction activity. Throughout our Sunbelt footprint, our local teams continued to win more project work, growing our project backlog to a record $2.84 billion. We are well-positioned for continued success to build out this record backlog as we move into the busy construction work season in the second half of our fiscal year. We continue to experience healthy federal and state project funding across our geographies in addition to a steady workflow of commercial projects, with many of our local markets representing some of the fastest growing MSAs in the Sunbelt.”
Smith continued, “Last week, we announced our latest acquisition with the purchase of PRI, adding its nearly 300 employees to the CPI family of companies as our platform company in Tennessee. PRI now stretches our operations the length of the state, from Knoxville in the east to the greater Memphis metro area in the west, and will include our pre-existing Tennessee operations, consisting of three hot- mix asphalt plants and construction operations in the Nashville metro area. As with all of our platform acquisitions, a key strategic criterion is an established and deeply experienced leadership team that fits our culture, our focus on safety, and our relative market share growth strategy for further expansion. Under the leadership of Jon Hargett, Greg Ailshie and PRI’s entire management team, our new platform company will benefit from decades of collective experience and technical expertise of seasoned industry veterans in Tennessee. Tennessee is a state ripe with organic and acquisitive growth opportunities, driven by strong economic growth, favorable demographic trends, and a healthy transportation funding program.”
