Primoris Services Corporation provides infrastructure services operating mainly in the United States and Canada. The company provides a wide range of construction, maintenance, replacement, fabrication, and engineering services to a diversified base of customers.
The company has longstanding customer relationships with solar facility developers and utility, refining, petrochemical, communications, midstream, downstream, and engineering companies, as well as power producers and transportation agencies across its core markets. The company provides its services to a diversified base of customers, under a range of contracting options. A portion of the company’s services are provided under Master Service Agreements (MSA), which are generally multi-year agreements. The remainder of the company’s services are generated from contracts for specific construction or installation projects.
Segments
The company operates through two segments: Utilities and Energy.
The Utilities segment operates throughout the United States and specializes in a range of services, including the installation and maintenance of new and existing natural gas and electric utility distribution and transmission systems, and communications systems.
The Energy segment operates throughout the United States and Canada and specializes in a range of services that include engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance services for entities in the energy, renewable energy and energy storage, renewable fuels, and petroleum and petrochemical industries, as well as state departments of transportation.
Strategy
The company’s strategy has remained consistent from year to year and continues to emphasize the following key elements: growth through controlled expansion; emphasis on MSA revenue growth, retention of existing customers and expansion of project work in its core competencies; and ownership or long-term leasing of equipment.
Customers
The company has longstanding customer relationships with solar facility developers and utility, refining, petrochemical, communications, midstream, downstream, and engineering companies, as well as power producers and transportation agencies across its core markets. The company has completed major underground and industrial projects for large natural gas transmission and petrochemical companies in the United States, and major electrical and gas projects for large utility companies in the United States. Although it has not been dependent upon any one customer in any year, a small number of customers tend to constitute a substantial portion of its total revenue in any given year.
The company enters into a large number of contracts each year, and the projects can vary in length from daily work orders to as long as 36 months, and occasionally longer, for completion on larger projects. It often provides services under long-term MSAs, which are generally multi-year agreements for specific types of work. Work performed under these contracts is typically generated through project-specific work orders, ranging from repairs and new installations, to maintenance and upgrade services.
The company's customers have included many of the leading energy and utility companies in the United States, such as; Xcel Energy, Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Gas, Oncor Electric, Duke Energy, Sempra Energy, Williams, Hecate Energy, Consumers Energy, Dominion, Valero, Enel Green Power North America, D.E. Shaw Renewable Investments, Entergy, Florida Power and Light, Intersect Power, Avantus, ExxonMobil, and Enterprise Pipeline, as well as the Texas Department of Transportation and the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.
Seasonality
The company's results of operations are subject to quarterly variations. Some of the variation is the result of weather, particularly rain, ice, snow, and named storms, which can impact its ability to perform construction and infrastructure services. These seasonal impacts can affect revenue and profitability in all of its businesses.
In addition, demand for new projects in the Utilities segment tends to be lower during the early part of the calendar year due to clients’ internal budget cycles. As a result, the company usually experiences higher revenue and earnings in the second, third, and fourth quarters of the year as compared to the first quarter (year ended December 31, 2024).
The company's project values range in size from several hundred dollars to several hundred million dollars. The bulk of its work consists of project sizes that average less than $3.0 million.
Competition
Competitors in its utilities markets include Quanta Services, Inc., Dycom Industries, MYR Group, and MasTec, Inc.; competitors in its industrial markets include PCL, Kiewit, Performance Contractors, and Boh Brothers; competitors in the renewables market include Blattner Energy, and Mortenson; and competitors in its highway services markets include Sterling Construction Company and Zachry Construction Company.
Regulation and Environmental Requirements
The company's operations are subject to compliance with regulatory requirements of federal, state, and municipal agencies and authorities, and international laws and regulations, including with respect to licensing, permitting, and inspection requirements applicable to construction projects; worker safety, including regulations established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), and other local or state regulatory bodies; Wage and hour regulations and regulations associated with its collective bargaining agreements and unionized workforce; and protection of the environment, including regulations established by the Environmental Protection Agency, state agencies, and other foreign environmental regulators.
