BWMN - Bowman Consulting Group Announces Record Second Quarter Results and Increases 2022 Outlook

Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (Nasdaq: BWMN) (“Bowman” or the “Company”), a national engineering services firm supporting owners and developers of the built environment, today announced record revenue and results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

“We delivered another quarter of record results, building on our strong first quarter momentum,” said Gary Bowman, Chairman and CEO of Bowman. “Our net service revenue increased 74% year-over-year, driven by both robust organic growth of 32% as well as by contributions from the ten acquisitions that we completed over the last year. Organic growth was largely driven by synergies realized from our acquisitions as well as by dynamic internal cross selling. Our growth is being generated across all of our end markets, with particular strength in transportation, power and utilities, and energy transition. During the quarter we completed two impactful acquisitions, including McMahon Associates, our largest to date, which expanded our work in the transportation market, adding further diversification to our revenue mix.”

“As a result of our strong results year-to-date and our record backlog, we are once again increasing our full year outlook. Additionally, we continue to have a strong pipeline of acquisition opportunities. In July, we completed the acquisition of Project Design Consultants, headquartered in San Diego, California, establishing our presence in Southern California, a market where we look to expand, particularly with key public sector and utility clients. While we are mindful of the potential economic headwinds created by higher interest rates and volatile energy costs, we are confident that our diversified market mix shields us in the event of a downturn and we remain steadfast in our approach to disciplined growth and increasing shareholder value,” Bowman concluded.

  • Gross revenue of $62.4 million, compared to $36.5 million, a 71% increase
