Avi Jaroslawicz's questions to Primoris Services Corp (PRIM) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Avi Jaroslawicz from UBS Group inquired about the rationale behind the implied margin decline for the Utility segment in the second half of 2025. He also asked whether awards for data center fiber projects would be reported in fixed or MSA backlog.
Answer
EVP & CFO Ken Dodgen explained that Q2 Utility margins were exceptionally high due to some one-time items, and a sequential decline is expected in Q3 and Q4, with Q4 also subject to normal seasonality. He clarified that data center-related communications work would appear in both fixed project and MSA backlog, as the business is a mix of both contract types.
