Miller Value Partners made the following comment about Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE:TPC) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“During the quarter we also scaled up a new investment in Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE:TPC). The company’s Civil segment is a leading provider of complex construction and rehabilitation of critical infrastructure (highways, tunnels, bridges, mass transit). Tutor has been in business for over 125 years and appears well positioned to benefit over the next couple of years from the recently passed $1.2T federal infrastructure law.

Their integrated business model provides competitive advantage in bidding, providing greater transparency in price and greater control of the large project work schedule. TPC’s stock price has been more than cut in half over the past year (near early 2020 lows) as the Covid outbreak caused a delay in larger Civil contracts. This is now weighing significantly on segment margins, creating an earnings trough this year. Tutor’s recent new business wins are helping to rebuild their pipeline (Civil segment backlog approaching $5B which is 200% higher than segment current annual revenue run-rate).

In addition, the company has been working through the legal system to litigate for past due work. While Covid delayed some legal proceedings, these outstanding cases are now being settled, having recently added more than $100M to cash flow. With $500 to $700M of outstanding receivables, ongoing settlements provide a nice margin of safety to the balance sheet. This has the potential to generate significant incremental free cash flow.…” (Click here to read the full text)
