HOLLYWOOD, Fla., May 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
NV5 Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVEE) ("NV5" or the "Company"), a provider of technology, conformity assessment, and consulting solutions, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended April 2, 2022.
"NV5 delivered a record first quarter, generating double-digit growth in gross revenues, net income, Adjusted EBITDA, and earnings per share as a result of NV5s strategy and business model. Growth in the quarter was led by strong performances in the utility services, testing and inspection, environmental, and energy efficiency businesses. We enter the second quarter with a strong backlog and pipeline to build upon our growth in 2022 and are increasing our full-year guidance," said Dickerson Wright, PE, Chairman and CEO of NV5.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures; Comparability of Certain Measures
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA reflects adjustments to EBITDA to eliminate stock-based compensation expense and acquisition-related costs. Management believes adjusted EBITDA, in addition to operating profit, Net Income, and other GAAP measures, is a useful indicator of our financial and operating performance and our ability to generate cash flows from operations that are available for taxes, capital expenditures, and debt service. A reconciliation of Net Income, as reported in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this news release.
Adjusted earnings per diluted share (Adjusted EPS) is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Adjusted EPS reflects adjustments to reported diluted earnings per share (GAAP EPS) to eliminate amortization expense of intangible assets from acquisitions, net of tax benefits, and acquisition-related costs. As we continue our acquisition strategy, the growth in Adjusted EPS may increase at a greater rate than GAAP EPS. A reconciliation of GAAP EPS to Adjusted EPS is provided at the end of this news release.
Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS may differ from other companies reporting similarly named measures. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as Net Income, and Diluted Earnings per Share. In addition, when presenting forward-looking non-GAAP metrics, we are unable to provide quantitative reconciliations to the most closely correlated GAAP measure due to the uncertainty in the timing, amount or nature of any adjustments, which could be material in any period.
