BOWMAN CONSULTING GROUP LTD.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. |
Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation |
Nature of Business
Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. and its affiliates (“Bowman” or “we” or the “Company”) incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on June 5, 1995 and reincorporated in the State of Delaware on November 13, 2020. Bowman is a professional services firm delivering innovative solutions to the marketplace of customers who own, develop and maintain the built environment. Within that arena, we provide planning, design, engineering, geomatics, survey, construction management, environmental consulting and land procurement services to markets that encompass the buildings in which people live, work and learn in, the systems that provide water, electricity and other vital services, and the roads, bridges, and transportation systems used to get from place to place. We provide services to customers through fixed-price and time-and-material based contracts containing multiple milestones and independently priced deliverables. Typically, contract awards are on a negotiated basis, ranging in value from a few thousand dollars to multiple millions of dollars and can have varying durations depending on the size, scope, and complexity of the project.
The Company’s workforce typically provides the full scope of engineering and other contract services. With respect to certain specialty services or other compliance requirements within a particular contract, however, we may engage third-party sub-consultants. The Company’s headquarters is located in Reston, VA and the Company has over 30 offices, throughout the United States.
Initial Public Offering
On May 11, 2021, we closed on our initial public offering (IPO), in which we issued and sold 3,690,000 shares of our common stock at $14.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $48.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, but before expenses of the IPO.
On June 4, 2021, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 115,925 shares of the Company’s common stock at the public offering price of $14.00 per share, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $1.6 million. After giving effect to this partial exercise of the overallotment option, the total number of shares sold by Bowman in its initial public offering increased to 3,805,925 shares and gross proceeds increased to approximately $53.3 million. The exercise of the over-allotment option closed on June 8, 2021, at which time the Company received net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million after underwriting discounts and commissions.
Deferred offering costs consist primarily of accounting, legal, and other fees related to our IPO. We capitalized $1.3 million of deferred offering costs within prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows. The results of operations for the current period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or the results for any future periods.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements and related footnotes included in our final prospectus dated May 6, 2021 and filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies and principles used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements:
Emerging Growth Company
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or, an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Revenue Recognition
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contract with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”) provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition framework and supersedes almost all revenue recognition guidance including industry-specific revenue guidance. To determine the proper revenue recognition method under ASC Topic 606, the Company evaluates whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single contract and if so, whether to account for the combined or single contract as more than one performance obligation. For most contracts, it is concluded that there is a single performance obligation because the promise to transfer individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from the commitment to the deliverable of the contract and, therefore, is not distinct.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from the estimates and assumptions that were used.
Concentration of Credit Risk and other Concentrations
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.
Cash balances at various times during the year may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company’s cash deposits are held in institutions whose credit ratings are monitored by management, and the Company has not incurred any losses related to such deposits.
The Company is subject to a concentration of credit risk with respect to outstanding accounts receivable. However the Company believes no such concentration existed during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s customers are located throughout the United States. Although the Company generally grants credit without collateral, management believes that its contract acceptance, billing, and collection policies are adequate to minimize material credit risk. Also, for non-governmental customers, the Company can often place mechanics liens against the real property associated with the contract in the event of non-payment.
Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) provides the framework for measuring and reporting financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
7
The codification establishes a three-level disclosure hierarchy to indicate the level of judgment used to estimate fair value measurements:
Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date;
Level 2:Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices (such as interest rate and yield curves);
Level 3:Uses inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and reflect significant management judgment.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
|
• |
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short duration of these instruments; |
|
• |
The carrying amounts of debt obligations approximate their fair values as the terms are comparable to terms currently offered by local financial institutions for arrangements with similar terms to industry peers with comparable credit characteristics. Accordingly, the debt obligations involve Level 2 fair value inputs; and |
|
• |
The liability related to shares subject to repurchase is recognized at fair value using Level 3 inputs that were primarily determined based on the contractual settlement price as defined by the terms of the Company’s Shareholders’ Buy-Sell Agreement. For further discussion, see Note 16, Stock Bonus Plan. |
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events recognized in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income tax assets or liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when the differences settle or become realized. Valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset is not realizable or recoverable in the future.
The Company recognizes the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was 28.0% and 25.0%. Exclusive of discrete items, the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 9.36%
The Company assesses uncertain tax positions to determine whether the position will more likely than not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or other taxing authorities. If the Company cannot reach a more-likely-than-not determination, no benefit is recorded. If the Company determines that the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained, the Company records the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized when the tax position is settled. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain states in which it operates. Based on the timing of the filing of certain tax returns, the Company’s federal income tax returns for tax years 2017 and after remain subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The statute of limitations on the Company’s state income tax returns generally conforms to the federal three-year statute of limitations.
Segments
The Company operates in one segment based upon the financial information used by its chief operating decision maker in evaluating the financial performance of its business and allocating resources. The single segment represents the Company’s core business of providing engineering and related professional services to its customers.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Accounting guidance not yet adopted
Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) to increase transparency and comparability of accounting for lease transactions by requiring lessees to recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about lease transactions and enable users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The effective date of
8
ASU 2016-02 for the Company is January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under U.S. GAAP. This ASU introduces a new accounting model, the Current Expected Credit Losses model (CECL), which could result in earlier recognition of credit losses and additional disclosures related to credit risk. The CECL model will require the Company to use a forward-looking expected credit loss impairment methodology for the recognition of credit losses for financial instruments at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired, and require a loss be incurred before it is recognized. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. The new standard will apply to accounts receivable, loans, and other financial instruments. This standard is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. Adoption of ASU 2016-13 will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, limited to the carrying amount of the goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for us beginning January 1, 2022. The Company does not expect the impact of this ASU to be material to its consolidated financial statements.
3. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were either exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would share in the earnings of the Company. The Company uses the two-class method to determine earnings per share.
For calculating basic earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, the weighted average number of shares outstanding exclude 134,933 non-vested restricted shares and 49,147 unexercised substantive options. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 did not assume the effect of restricted shares or substantive options because the effects were antidilutive.
For calculating basic earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the weighted average number of shares outstanding exclude 691,038 non-vested restricted shares and 49,177 substantive options. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 did not assume the effect of restricted shares or substantive options because the effects were antidilutive.
The following table represents a reconciliation of the net income and weighted average shares outstanding for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands except per share data):

4. Acquisitions
Business Combinations
KTA Group Inc. (KTA)
On January 4, 2021, the Company signed a purchase agreement to acquire KTA Group Inc., with an effective date of January 1, 2021. KTA is a mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) engineering firm based in Herndon, VA. The Company paid total consideration of $3.4 million, which was comprised of 53,159 shares of common stock, at $12.80 per share, for a total of $0.7 million, plus $2.7 million in cash and a promissory note. The promissory note is a four year note with a 3.25% interest rate with equal quarterly payments beginning on April 1, 2021 and ending January1, 2025.
The acquisition of KTA allows Bowman to add electrical engineering to the group of core competencies thereby allowing the Company to cross sell to, and better serve, its renewable energy customers. In addition, KTA’s mechanical engineers bring the experience and expertise necessary to deliver plans and designs for building ventilation, indoor air quality monitoring and medical-grade air filtration.
The following summarizes the preliminary calculations of the fair values of KTA Group’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

The purchase price allocation is based upon preliminary information and is subject to change when additional information is obtained. Goodwill results from an assembled workforce, which does not qualify for separate recognition, as well as expected future synergies from combining operations. All of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company has not completed its final assessment of the fair values of KTA Group’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The final purchase allocation could result in adjustments to certain assets and liabilities, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill.
Identified intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships, contract rights and favorable leaseholds for a total amount of $0.9 million, to be amortized over an estimated useful life of 20 years, 3 years, and 9 years, respectively.
5. Disaggregation of Revenue and Contract Balances
Contracts are considered lump sum and evaluated for cost-basis percentage completion revenue calculation if any of the components of the contract are subject to fixed fee or unit pricing. As such, a contract containing a mix of hourly and fixed fee assignments may be characterized as one lump sum contract for purposes of ASC Topic 606. A contract must contain hourly billed components exclusively to qualify for the as-billed practical expedient in ASC Topic 606. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company derived 91.6% of its revenue from contracts classified as lump sum, and 8.4% of its revenue from exclusively time and material contracts. The Company had approximately $94.8 million in remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2021 of which it expects to recognize approximately 77% within the next twelve months and the remaining 23% thereafter.
The Company recognized $0.9 million of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which was included in the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2020, and $2.9 million of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which was included in the contract liabilities balance as of December 31, 2019.

11. Lines of Credit
In 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Bank of America (the Bank) which included a revolving line of credit (the Revolving Line) and a non-revolving line of credit (the Fixed Line #1). The Revolving Line allowed for repayments and re-borrowings. The maximum advance was equal to the lesser of $12.4 million (the Credit Limit) or the Borrowing Base as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Borrowing Base is computed based upon a percentage of eligible receivables within each aging category under 120 days and is further refined for customer type. Receivables in excess of 120 days and those from related parties or affiliates are not considered to be eligible receivables for the Borrowing Base.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Credit Limit increased to $15.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2019, a second non-revolving line of credit was established (Fixed Line #2). During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company entered into an additional credit agreement with Bank of America (Facility #4). Both of these credit agreements contain certain cash flow related financial covenants including fixed charge coverage ratio, debt to EBITDA and adjusted debt to EBITDA, all of which the Company was in compliance with at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
The Revolving Line requires monthly payments of interest at the greater of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) daily floating rate or 1.25% plus an applicable rate which varies between 2.35% and 2.95% based on the Company achieving certain leverage ratios as defined in the Credit Agreement. On March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the interest rate was 3.60% and 2.99%, respectively. All outstanding principal is due upon expiration, which is July 31, 2021 unless the agreement is renewed, or an event of default occurs. The Revolving Line is reported as bank line of credit on the consolidated balance sheets.
Fixed Line #1 has a maximum advance of $1.0 million and does not allow for re-borrowings and is included in Notes Payable (see Note 12). Beginning October 1, 2017, the Company began paying interest on a monthly basis at a rate per year equal to LIBOR plus 2.75%. On March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the interest rate was 2.86% and 3.74%, respectively. Commencing the earlier of i) the date no remaining amount is available under the Fixed Line or, ii) August 31, 2018, the Company is obligated to pay the then outstanding principal balance in sixty equal monthly installments through maturity in August 2023. On March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance on Fixed Line #1 was $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Fixed Line #2 has a maximum advance of $1.0 million and does not allow for re-borrowings and is included in Notes Payable (see Note 12). On April 1, 2020, the Company began paying interest monthly at a rate per year equal to LIBOR plus 2.00%. On March 31, 2021, the interest rate was 2.11%. Commencing the earlier of i) the date no remaining amount is available under the Fixed Line or, ii) August 31, 2020, the Company is obligated to pay the then outstanding principal balance in sixty equal monthly installments through maturity in September 2025. On March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance on Fixed Line #2 was $0.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Facility #4 is a term loan with a principal loan amount of $1.0 million and is included in Notes Payable (see Note 12). The loan is to be repaid over thirty-six months beginning April 13, 2020 through maturity on March 13, 2023. The payments consist of principal and interest in equal combined installments of $29,294. The interest rate on this loan is 3.49%. On March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance on Facility #4 was $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
The Company secures its obligations under the Credit Agreement with substantially all assets of the Company. Fixed Line #1 is guaranteed by Gary Bowman, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“Guarantor”). Obligations of the Company to the Guarantor and certain other shareholders of the Company are subordinated to the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and Fixed Line loans. The Company must maintain, on a combined basis certain financial covenants defined in the Credit Agreement.
Interest expense on the Revolving and Fixed Lines totaled $0.1 million and $55,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

On June 4, 2021, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 115,925 shares of the Company’s common stock at the public offering price of $14.00 per share, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $1.6 million. After giving effect to this partial exercise of the overallotment option, the total number of shares sold by Bowman in its initial public offering increased to 3,805,925 shares and gross proceeds increased to approximately $53.3 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains “forward-looking statements” reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to several factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, economic and competitive conditions, regulatory changes, and other uncertainties, as well as those factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in “Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements,” all of which are difficult to predict. Considering these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Bowman,” the “company,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Bowman Consulting Group Ltd., its wholly owned subsidiaries and combined entities under common control, or either or all of them as the context may require.
Overview
Bowman is a professional services firm delivering innovative engineering solutions to customers who own, develop and maintain the built environment. We provide planning, engineering, construction management, commissioning, environmental consulting, geomatics, survey, land procurement and other technical services to over 2,200 customers operating in a diverse set of end markets. We work as both a prime and sub-consultant for a broad base of public and private sector customers that generally operate in highly regulated environments.
We have a diversified business that is not dependent on any one service line, geographic region, or end market. We are deliberate in our efforts to balance our sources of revenue and avoid reliance on any one significant customer, service line, geography or end market concentration. Our strategic focus is on penetrating and expanding our presence in markets which best afford us opportunities to secure assignments that provide reoccurring revenue and multi-year engagements thus resulting in dependable and predictable revenue streams and high employee utilization. We limit our exposure to risk by providing professional and related services exclusively. We do not engage in general contracting activities either directly, or through joint ventures, and therefore have no related exposure. We are not a partner in any design-build construction projects. We carry no heavy equipment inventory, and our risk of contract loss is generally limited to time associated with fixed fee professional services assignments.
Gross contract revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $31.8 million and $28.6 million, respectively, representing year over year growth of 11.2%. Gross contract revenue derived from our workforce represented 90.8% and 86.4% of gross contract revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively (see Net service billing – non-GAAP below). Our adjusted EBITDA was $4.1 million on net income of $1.0 million and $1.6 million on net income of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we closed on the acquisition of KTA Group, successfully integrated their operations into ours, initiated cross-selling efforts, and began experiencing the long-term revenue synergies we believe are achievable.
COVID-19 Update
It is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that COVID-19 will ultimately have on our business, as the impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. We are evaluating, and will continue to evaluate, the impact of COVID-19 on projects, but the full effects COVID-19 will have on our operations are still unknown. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have not experienced any material financial distress resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We did not qualify for the PPP Loan program under the CARES Act. Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other non-current obligations in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 is $2.5 million of deferred employer payroll taxes as afforded us under the CARES Act. The duration and extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments and possible shelter-in-place orders that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the severity and transmission rate of the virus, the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, and the impact of these and other factors on our employees and clients.
Methods of Evaluation
We use a variety of financial and other information in monitoring the financial condition and operating performance of our business. Some of the information we use to evaluate our operations is financial information that is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), while other information may be financial in nature and either built upon GAAP results or
19
may not be in accordance with GAAP (Non-GAAP). We use all of this information together for planning and monitoring our operations, as well as determining certain management and employee compensation.
The Company operates as a single business segment represented by our core business of providing multi-disciplinary professional engineering solutions to customers. While we evaluate revenue and other key performance indicators relating to various divisions of labor, our leadership neither manages the business nor deliberately allocates resources by service line, geography, or end market. Our financial statements present results as a single operating segment.
Components of Income and Expense
Revenue
We generate revenue from services performed by our employees, pass-through fees from sub-consultants, and reimbursable contract costs. On our consolidated financial statements, we report gross revenue, which represents total revenue billed to customers excluding taxes collected from customers. Gross revenue less revenue derived from pass-through sub-consultant fees, reimbursable expenses and other direct expenses represents our net service billing, or that portion of our gross revenue attributable to services performed by our employees. Our industry uses the calculation underlying net service billing to normalize peer performance assessments and provide meaningful insight into trends over time. Refer to — Other Financial Data, Non-GAAP measurements and Key Performance Indicators below for further discussion of the use of this Non-GAAP financial measure.
We generally do not make profit from the pass-through of sub-consultants and reimbursable expenses. As such, contract profitability is most heavy impacted by the mix of labor utilized to complete the tasks and the efficiency of those resources in completing the tasks. Our largest direct contract cost is consistently our labor. To grow our revenue and maximize overall profitability we carefully monitor and manage our fixed cost of labor and the utilization thereof. Maintaining an optimal level of utilization on a balanced pool of growing labor resources represents our greatest prospect for delivering increasing profitability.
Our contracts with customers contain two types of pricing characteristics:
Hourly, also referred to as time and materials, are common for professional and technical consulting assignments both short-term and multi-year in duration. Under these types of assignments, there is no predetermined maximum fee and as such, we generally experience no risk associated with our ability to bill for all hours expended. We negotiate billing rates and charge our customers based upon the actual hours expended toward a deliverable. These assignments may have not-to-exceed parameters requiring us to receive additional authorizations from our customer to continue working, but we likewise do not have to continue working without assurances of payment for such additional work. Hourly assignments represented approximately $9.5 million and $12.6 million or 30% and 44% of our gross contract revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Lump sum, also referred to as fixed fee, typically require the performance of some, or all, of the obligations under the assignment for a specified amount, subject to price adjustments only if the scope of the project changes or unforeseen requirements arise. Our fixed fee assignments generally include a specific scope of work and defined deliverables. The majority of our assignments are lump sum in nature representing approximately $22.3 million and $16.0 million or 70% and 56% of our gross contract revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Recognizing revenue from lump sum assignments requires management estimates of both total contract value when there are contingent compensation elements of the fee arrangement and expected cost at completion. We closely monitor our progress to completion and adjust our estimates when necessary. We do not recognize revenue from work that is performed at risk with no documented customer commitment.
Contract Costs
Contract costs consists of direct payroll costs, sub-consultant costs and other direct expenses exclusive of depreciation and amortization.
Direct payroll costs represent the portion of salaries and wages incurred in connection with the production of deliverables under customer assignments and contracts. Direct payroll costs include allocated fringe costs (i.e. health benefits, employer payroll taxes, and retirement plan contributions), paid leave and incentive compensation.
Sub-consultants and direct expenses include both sub-consultants and other outside costs associated with performance under our contracts. Sub-consultant and direct costs are generally reimbursable by our customers under the terms of our contracts.
20
Performance under our contracts does not involve significant machinery or other long term depreciable assets. Most of the equipment we employ involves desktop computers and other shared ordinary course IT equipment. We present direct costs exclusive of depreciation and amortization and as such we do not present gross profit on our consolidated financial statements.
Operating Expense
Operating expenses consists of selling, general and administrative costs, non-cash stock compensation, depreciation and amortization and settlements and other non-core expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses represent corporate and other general overhead expenses, salaries and wages not allocated to customer projects including management and administrative personnel costs, incentive compensation, personal leave, office lease and occupancy costs, legal, professional and accounting fees.
Non-cash stock compensation represents the expenses incurred with respect to shares and options issued by the Company, both vested and unvested, to employees as long-term incentives. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, non-cash stock compensation was determined by the change in the fair market measurement of the liability to common shares subject to repurchase. Non-cash stock compensation cost for permanent equity will be the grant date fair value of the awards, or the Black-Sholes-Merton value of stock options on the grant date, recognized ratably over the vesting periods of each award. Future non-cash stock compensation expense for unvested shares awarded prior to December 31, 2020 is based on a $12.80 per share fair value on the date of modification. Stock awards will continue to be an important part of our long-term retention and rewards philosophy.
Depreciation and amortization represent the depreciation and amortization expense of our property and general IT equipment, capital lease assets, tenant improvements and intangible assets.
(Gain) loss on sale represents gains or losses inclusive of foreign exchange and accumulated depreciation recapture resulting from the disposal of an asset upon the sale or retirement of such asset.
Other (Income) Expense
Other (income) expense consists of other non-operating and non-core expenses.
Tax Expense
Income tax (benefit) expense, current and deferred, includes estimated federal, state and local tax expense associated with our net income, as apportioned to the states in which we operate. Estimates of our tax expense include both current and deferred tax expense along with all available tax incentives and credits.
Other Financial Data, Non-GAAP Measurements and Key Performance Indicators
Backlog
We measure the value of our undelivered gross revenue in real time to calculate our backlog and predict future revenue. Backlog includes awarded, contracted and otherwise secured commitments along with revenue we expect to realize over time for predictable long-term and reoccurring assignments. We report backlog quarterly as of the end of the last day of the reporting period. We use backlog to predict revenue growth and anticipate appropriate future staffing needs. Backlog definitions and methods of calculation vary within our industry. As such, backlog is not a reliable metric on which to evaluate us relative to our peers. Backlog neither derives from, nor connects to, any GAAP results.
Net Service Billing
In the normal course of providing services to our customers, we routinely subcontract services and incur direct third-party contract expenses that may or may not be reimbursable and may or may not be billed to customers with mark-up. Gross revenue less revenue derived from pass-through sub-consultant fees and reimbursable expenses represents our net service billing, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, or that portion of our gross contract revenue attributable to services performed by our employees. Because the ratio of sub-contractor and direct expense costs to gross billing varies between contracts, gross revenue is not necessarily indicative of trends in our business. As a professional services company, we believe that metrics derived from net service billings more accurately demonstrate the productivity and profitability of our workforce. Our industry uses the calculation of net service billing to normalize peer performance assessments and provide meaningful insight into trends over time.
21
Adjusted EBITDA
We view Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as an important indicator of normalized performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization, plus discontinued expenses, legal settlements and other costs not in the ordinary course of business, non-cash stock-based compensation (inclusive of expenses associated with the adjustment of our liability for common shares subject to redemption), and other adjustments such as costs associated with preparing for our IPO. Our peers may define Adjusted EBITDA differently.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin, net
Adjusted EBITDA Margin, net, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, represents Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, as a percentage of net service billings, as defined above.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020
Gross Contract Revenue
Gross contract revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $3.2 million or 11.2% to $31.8 million as compared to $28.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, gross contract revenue attributable to work performed by our workforce increased $4.2 million, or 17.0% to $28.9 million or 90.8% of gross contract revenue as compared to $24.7 million or 86.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 (see Net service billing – non-GAAP).
22
Changes in gross contract revenue (“GCR”) disaggregated between our core and emerging end markets were as follows (in thousands other than percentages):
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, gross revenue from communities, homes and buildings (“CHB”) market increased $4.6 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase is attributable to $1.9 million of gross revenue from the acquisition of KTA Group, the majority of which was commercial office related, $1.9 million of residential and mixed-use projects, and $0.8 million from commercial, municipal and other projects. As the U.S. economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are experiencing continued expansion of demand for our CHB services. We continue to maintain a positive outlook on this market and expect it to represent most of our gross revenue for the remainder of 2021.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, revenue from transportation decreased $0.8 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in gross revenue from the transportation market is primarily the result of weather-related delays on a construction management project in Illinois and a combination of both increases and decreases across multiple clients and projects, none of which on its own is indicative of a meaningful trend with respect to our transportation business overall. Increasing investment in the construction of new infrastructure and the maintenance of aging infrastructure continues to drive demand for our transportation engineering and construction management services. We believe the transportation market presents significant opportunity for future growth and we remain committed to investing in leadership, technical expertise, and business development resources for this market.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, revenue from power and utilities decreased $0.7 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in gross contract revenue from the power and utilities market is primarily the result of reduced activity on a multi-year pipeline replacement program in Arizona and weather interruptions on a gas pipeline identification program in Ohio, offset by increases in multi-year undergrounding and other gas pipeline maintenance assignments. The power and utilities market continues to experience increasing infrastructure investment as changing weather patterns, energy transition mandates and other safety initiatives positively impact demand for the services we provide. We believe trends in this market provide meaningful opportunity for continued growth and we are committed to investing resources accordingly.
Our emerging markets consist of renewable energy and energy efficiency, mining, water resources, and other natural resources services. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, revenue from emerging markets remained effectively unchanged as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. Increases in emerging market revenue from solar energy and battery storage assignments was offset by reductions in mining revenue. Our mining services have specialized in copper mining, the demand for which is cyclical in nature and was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Given forecasted increases in demand for copper and the reduced impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mining operators, we expect this market to grow over the next few years. Scarcities in water resources and the increasing need for water management gives us confidence that the water resources market will likewise grow and that we will be able to increase associated revenue accordingly. With the acquisition of KTA, we expect to experience continued growth from investment in renewable energy and energy transition.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, public sector customers, defined as public agencies or governmental authorities, represented 14.0% and 16.3% of our gross contract revenue, respectively. Gross contract revenue from projects for public sector clients are included in the end market most aligned with work performed.
23
Contract costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
Total contract costs, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased $0.7 million or 4.5% to $16.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Total contract costs represented 50.8% and 54.3% of total contract revenue, respectively.
Direct payroll costs increased $1.5 million or 12.8% to $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Direct payroll accounted for 81.8% of total contract costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of 6.8 percentage points as compared to 75.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Direct labor, the component of direct payroll costs associated with the cost of labor relating to work performed on contracts increased $0.4 million or 4.2% to $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, direct payroll costs represented 31.1% and 33.1% of gross contract revenue, respectively and represented 34.3% and 38.5% of the revenue attributable to our workforce, respectively.
Other direct payroll costs, the component of direct payroll costs associated with fringe and incentive compensation (cash and non-cash) increased by $1.1 million or 50.0% to $3.3 million as compared to $2.2 million. This increase includes an increase of $0.7 million in the cost of non-cash stock compensation to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to a benefit of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The benefit generated from non-cash stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is primarily a result of a reduction in the discount rates used to calculate the net present value of the repurchase liability, which resulted in a reduction of the liability and a negative expense, or benefit, for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Sub-consultants and other direct expenses decreased $1.0 million or (25.6%) to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, sub-consultant and other expenses represented 9.2% and 13.6% of gross contract revenue, respectively. This decrease is not indicative of a sustained shift in the composition of our gross contract revenue.
Operating Expense
Total operating expense increased $1.8 million or 12.6% to $14.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $12.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million or 4.7% to $12.7 million as compared to $12.1 million. Non-cash stock compensation increased $0.9 million or 300.0% to a $0.6 million expense as compared to $0.3 million benefit. The benefit generated from non-cash stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is primarily a result of a reduction in the discount rates used to calculate the net present value of the repurchase liability, which resulted in a reduction of the liability and a negative expense, or benefit, for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Depreciation and amortization increased $1.1 million or 366.7% to $1.4 million as compared to $0.3 million as a result of the conversion of our equipment and vehicle operating leases to capital leases on September 30, 2020. Gains on the sale of certain IT equipment and automobiles remained unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2021 at less than $0.1 million of gain on the disposal of such assets.
Other (Income) Expense
Other (income) expense changed by $0.2 million to $0.2 million of expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to a $9,000 of income for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Income derived from incentives and rebates decreased by $0.1 million and interest expense increased by $0.1 million.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was unchanged at $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 we were a cash basis taxpayer, which affects the timing of the payment of tax but not the expense of tax. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased by 15.6 percentage points to 9.4% as compared to 25.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This reduction in effective rate is primarily associated with the change in non-cash stock expense from a benefit to an expense as detailed above and an estimated $1.2 million research and development tax credit earned by the Company for work performed at risk.
24
Income Before Tax and Net Income
Income before tax expense increased by $0.6 million or 46.2% to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Net income increased by $0.6 million or 60.0% to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Changes in net income are consistent with increases in gross contract revenue and the percentage of revenue derived from work performed by our workforce.
Other financial information and Non-GAAP key performance indicators
Net service billing (non-GAAP)
Net service billing increased $4.2 million or 14.3% to $28.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $24.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Net service billing reconciles to gross revenue in thousands as follows:

Net service billing increased by 4.4 percentage points to 90.8% of gross contract revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to 86.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase reflects a shift in contract mix and was positively affected by KTA’s 98.2% net service billing ratio to gross contract revenue.
Because sub-consultants and reimbursable expenses are most often pass-through items with little or no mark-up, they generally have a dilutive effect on gross, operating, and net margins while having little accretive effect on profitability. As such, where possible, we focus our resources and business development efforts principally on increasing revenue derived from our own workforce. Management primarily focusses its internal performance metrics on net service billing.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)
Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.5 million or 61.1% to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA reconciles to net income in thousands as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, and 2020, adjusted EBITDA includes $1.1 and ($0.5) million, respectively, relating to non-cash stock compensation expenses resulting from the vesting of restricted stock awards. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, adjusted EBITDA includes $2.5 million relating to non-reoccurring lease expenses. On September 30, 2020, we refinanced our outstanding operating leases with TCF Bank and Enterprise Leasing to capital leases (see Credit Facilities and Other Financing herein). Accordingly, we increased our short- and long-term capital lease debt and eliminated all future rent expense relating to these operating leases. To present a meaningful representation of the impact of the new capital leasing structure on our consolidated financial results, and normalize the presentation of EBITDA, we added the non-reoccurring operating lease expenses to adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin, net (non-GAAP)
Adjusted EBITDA Margin, net represents Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) as a percentage of net service billing (as defined above). For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, adjusted EBITDA Margin, net was 14.2% and 6.4% respectively. Adjusted EBITDA margin, net for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was negatively impacted by the non-cash stock compensation benefit described above.
Backlog (other key performance metrics
Our backlog increased $3.0 million or 2.0% to $116.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $113.0 million at December 31, 2020. At, March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 our backlog was comprised as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity under our credit facility, lease financing and proceeds from stock sales. Our principal uses of cash are operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital expenditures, repayment of debt, and acquisition related payments. Prior to September 30, 2020, we typically funded capital expenditures for vehicles, IT and design infrastructure, geomatics technology and field survey production equipment through operating lease facilities. On September 30, 2020, we refinanced our primary operating leases to capital leases. Our two primary lease finance providers are TCF Bank and Enterprise Leasing. We regularly monitor our capital requirements and believe our sources of liquidity, including existing cash, cash flow from operations, borrowing availability under our credit and lease facilities, and proceeds from our subsequently closed initial public offering on May 11, 2021 will be sufficient to fund our projected cash requirements and strategic initiatives for the next year.

Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $45,000, which primarily consisted of our $1.0 million net profit, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million and depreciation and amortization of $1.4 million, offset by a net cash outflow of $3.6 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $3.6 million increase in accounts receivable resulting from increased billing to our clients and a $0.5 million increase in contract assets and liabilities, partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expense.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $1.5 million, which primarily consisted of our $0.5 million net profit, adjusted for stock-based compensation benefit of $0.5 million and depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million, offset by a net cash outflow of $2.1 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $3.1 million increase in accounts receivable due to increased billing to our clients and a $1.8 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expense, partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in contract assets and liabilities and a $0.8 million decrease in prepaid expense.
26
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $0.8 million to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in net cash used for investing is primarily attributable to the KTA acquisition inclusive of $0.6 million cash paid to the sellers in connection with the closing. Additional uses of cash in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 included the purchase of $0.4 million of property and equipment for operations, representing approximately 1.4% of gross contract revenue.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $0.7 million to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in net cash provided from financing is primarily attributable to a $3.1 million in net borrowing under our revolving and fixed lines of credit, offset by $1.0 million in payments under capital lease facilities, $0.4 million used for payment of offering costs associated with our initial public offering and $0.5 million for the net issuance, purchase and retirement of common stock.
Credit Facilities and Other Financing
On March 31, 2021, we maintained a $17.0 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, our primary lender. Under the terms of credit facility, available cash in our primary operating account sweeps against the outstanding balance every evening. As of March 31, 2021, our cash on hand generally consisted of petty cash and other non-operating funds not included in the nightly sweep. The availability under the revolving credit facility is reset monthly based on an eligible accounts receivable borrowing base, as defined in the credit agreement. We generally have full availability under the revolving credit facility. A detailed history of the credit facility is described in our Form 424B4 prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated May 11, 2021. The revolving credit facility is due to be renewed in July 2021. We have initiated discussions with our lender, and we anticipate that the revolving credit facility will renew on favorable terms.
We have master lease facilities with TCF Bank and Enterprise Leasing. The TCF Bank lease facility finances our acquisition of IT infrastructure, geomatics and survey equipment, furniture and other long-lived assets. The Enterprise lease facility finances the acquisition of field trucks and other service vehicles. We maintain a fleet of approximately 200 vehicles at any given time. Both leasing facilities allow for both operating and capital leasing. We treat operating lease payments as rental expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses and allocate capital lease payments between amortization and interest. On September 30, 2020, we converted our TCF and Enterprise operating leases to capital leases and recorded the associated equipment purchases and capital lease liability, current and non-current. The payment terms on the lease agreements range between 30 and 50 months with payments totaling approximately $0.4 million per month. We use the incremental borrowing rate on our revolving line of credit, to calculate the present value on new leases.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements, no special purpose entities, and no activities that include non-exchange-traded contracts accounted for at fair value.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We use estimates in the determination of certain financial results. Estimates used in financial reporting utilize only information available to us at the time of formulation. These estimates are subject to change as new information becomes available.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies relating to the use of estimates described in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our final prospectus filed with the SEC dated May 6, 2021.
Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements
Our disclosure and analysis in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, contains forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include those that express plans, anticipation, intent, contingencies, goals, targets or future development and/ or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology, such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “should,” “could” or the negative of such terms or similar expressions. The absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Any
27
forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and projections about future events and they are subject to risks and uncertainties known and unknown that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include:
|
• |
We engage in a highly competitive business. If we are unable to compete effectively, we could lose market share and our business and results of operations could be negatively impacted; |
|
• |
Our continued success is dependent upon our ability to hire, retain and utilize qualified personnel; |
|
• |
Our profitability could suffer if we are not able to maintain adequate utilization of our workforce due to slowdowns in the economy, reduced demand for our services or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; |
|
• |
If we are unable to integrate acquired businesses successfully, our business could be harmed; |
|
• |
We cannot assure you that we will achieve synergies and cost savings in connection with prior or future acquisitions; |
|
• |
Demand from clients is cyclical and vulnerable to economic downturns. If the economy weakens or client spending declines, our financial results may be impacted; |
|
• |
Construction, roadway, mining, and maintenance sites are inherently dangerous workplaces. If we, the owner, or others working at such sites fail to maintain safe work conditions, we can be exposed to significant financial losses and reputational harm, as well as civil and criminal liabilities; |
|
• |
Our services expose us to significant risks of liability, and our insurance policies may not provide adequate coverage; |
|
• |
We cannot assure you that we will renew our revolving credit facility on favorable terms; |
|
• |
The contracts in our backlog may be adjusted, cancelled or suspended by our clients and, therefore, our backlog is not necessarily indicative of our future revenues or earnings. Additionally, even if fully performed, our backlog is not a good indicator of future gross profit; |
|
• |
The nature of our contracts, particularly those that are fixed price, subject us to risks of cost overruns. We may experience reduced profits or, in some cases, losses if costs increase above budgets or estimates or if the project experiences schedule delays; |
|
• |
Governmental agencies may modify, curtail or terminate our contracts at any time prior to their completion and, if we do not replace them, we may suffer a decline in revenue; |
|
• |
Our failure to comply with a variety of complex procurement rules and regulations could damage our reputation and result in our being liable for penalties, including termination of our government contracts, disqualification from bidding on future government contracts and suspension or debarment from government contracting; |
|
• |
We are dependent on third parties to complete certain elements of our contracts; |
|
• |
Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly, which could have a material negative effect on the price of our common stock; |
|
• |
If we fail to develop or maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our common stock; |
|
• |
Our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud; |
|
• |
Anti-takeover provisions under our charter documents and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change of control, which could limit the market price of our common stock and may prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management; |
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor of our business or to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. We believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of our business activities. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not party to any litigation, the outcome of which if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we issued the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act:
In January 2021, we issued 53,159 shares of our common stock as partial consideration for our acquisition of KTA Group, Inc. For a description of this acquisition, see Note 4, Acquisitions, appearing in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In January 2021, we issued 49,383 shares of restricted stock units to employees under our Stock Bonus Plan. For further details, see Note 16, Stock Bonus Plan, appearing in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In March 2021, we issued 10,768 shares of our common stock in connection with the exercise of nominal stock options previously granted under our Stock Option plan. For further details, see Note 15, Stock Options, appearing in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
These shares were issued in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering as well as reliance upon Rule 701 as the issuances under the Stock Option Plan and Stock Bonus Plan were pursuant to compensatory benefit plans or contracts relating to compensation as provided by such rule.
None of these transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions.
Use of Proceeds
On May 11, 2021, we closed our IPO, in which we sold 3,690,000 of our common stock at $14.00 per share resulting in net proceeds of $48.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. The offer and sale of the shares in our IPO were registered under the Securities Act on Form S-1 (File No. 333-255076) which was declared effective by the SEC on May 6, 2021.
On June 4, 2021, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 115,925 shares of the Company’s common stock at the public offering price of $14.00 per share, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $1.6 million. After giving effect to this partial exercise of the overallotment option, the total number of shares sold by Bowman in its initial public offering increased to 3,805,925 shares and gross proceeds increased to approximately $53.3 million. The exercise of the over-allotment option closed on June 8, 2021, at which time the Company received net proceeds of approximately $1.5 million after underwriting discounts and commissions.
We utilized a portion of our net proceeds to satisfy our obligation under our revolving line of credit and to pay expenses associated with the offering. We expect to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including organic expansion and the funding of potential acquisitions.

The shares and proceeds from our IPO are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Exhibit 10.15
FORM OF NEO
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
This Restricted Stock Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated this ___ day of April, 2021 but effective for all purposes as of the Grant Date set forth below, is between _______________ (the "Participant") and Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, and governs a grant to the Participant of common stock of the Company (the "Shares") pursuant to the Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement have the definitions ascribed to them in the Plan. The Company and the Participant agree as follows:
1.GRANT OF RESTRICTED SHARES. Subject to, and in accordance with the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and in this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Participant ____________ (_____) Shares (the “Restricted Shares”). This Agreement and the grant of Restricted Shares are expressly conditioned upon and effective as of the date of the closing of an initial public offering of the common stock of the Company (the “Transaction”) on or before December 31, 2021. If for any reason the closing of the Transaction does not occur on or before December 31, 2021, this Agreement will be void ab initio. For purposes of this Agreement the date of closing of the Transaction is the “Grant Date.”
2.RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. Restricted Shares may not be transferred, sold, pledged, exchanged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by Participant unless and until they have become nonrestricted and nonforfeitable in accordance with Section 3; provided, however, that Participant's interest in the Restricted Shares may be transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any purported transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the Restricted Shares that is in violation of this Section 2 shall be null and void, and the other party to any such purported transaction shall not obtain any rights to or interest in the Restricted Shares.
3.VESTING, RELEASE AND LAPSE OF RESTRICTIONS.
(a)Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, the Restricted Shares shall become vested in [three (3)] equal annual installments over a [three (3)] year period with the first installment occurring on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, provided that the Participant is employed by the Company on the applicable vesting dates.
(b)The Restricted Shares shall become fully vested prior to the third anniversary of the Grant Date (i) upon the Participant’s death or Disability, or (ii) if the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated (A) by the Company without Cause, (B) by the Participant for Good Reason or (C) by the Participant for Good Reason related to a Change in Control, provided that in each of (ii) A, B, or C, the Participant (or his or her personal representative) executes the Company’s release agreement. The terms Disability, Cause, and Good Reason shall be as defined in the written employment letter or agreement between the Company and the Participant in effect at the time of such event of termination. If no such written employment letter or agreement is then in existence, then Disability shall have the same definition as contained in the Plan and Cause and Good Reason shall be as defined on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
(c)If the Participant's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause or by the Participant without Good Reason, then any unvested Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and all of the Participant's rights hereunder with respect to such unvested Restricted Shares (and any Dividend Equivalent Right with respect to such unvested Shares) shall cease as of the effective date of such termination of employment. The determination of whether Restricted Shares are vested, not vested, or forfeited, as applicable, shall be made by the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of the Company in its discretion.
(d)If a vesting date falls on a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which NASDAQ is not open for the transaction of business, then the applicable portion of the Restricted Shares shall vest on the next business day. Upon vesting, Restricted Shares shall be released by the Company and the restrictions on transfer and any other restrictive legends that the Company shall have deemed advisable shall be removed within thirty (30) days following each applicable vesting date.
Page 1 of 4
4.DIVIDENDS. If the Company declares a cash dividend payable to stockholders of Common Stock that is payable to stockholders of record after the Grant Date and before the Restricted Shares are vested in accordance with this Agreement, the Participant will be entitled to be credited with an amount equal to such cash dividend per share payable per share of Common Stock (a "Dividend Equivalent Right"), which shall accrue in cash without interest.
The Dividend Equivalent Rights will be subject to the same terms, conditions, and restrictions of this Agreement as are the Restricted Shares to which they relate and will be payable at the same time as the underlying Restricted Shares are settled and released following vesting of such Restricted Shares. None of the Restricted Shares will be issued (nor will the Participant have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the underlying shares) and no Dividend Equivalent Rights (if any) will be paid until the vesting and other conditions under the Agreement and Plan are satisfied. If such Restricted Shares are forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such Dividend Equivalent Rights.
5.RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER; CHANGE IN SHARES. From and after the Date of Grant and for so long as the Restricted Shares are not vested the Participant shall have all rights of a stockholder including the right to vote such Shares subject to the provision of this Agreement. If any of the Company Shares are split, combined, or in any other manner changed, modified or amended, or the Company is recapitalized, restructured, or reorganized, the Restricted Shares may be adjusted as provided in the Plan.
6.COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND CLAW-BACK.
(a)Repayment/Forfeiture. Any benefits that the Participant may receive hereunder shall be subject to repayment or forfeiture as may be required to comply with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any applicable law, rule or regulation, including the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations thereunder, as may be in effect from time to time.
(b)Claw-back. If the Participant performs any activity that is in violation of any of the restrictive covenants in any exhibit to the Employment Letter the Company may recoup from the Participant any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit the Participant actually or constructively received or derived from the Restricted Shares.
7.NO RIGHT TO OTHER LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS. The Participant understands and agrees that (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be suspended or terminated by the Company or the Committee at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan; (b) the grant of Restricted Shares is voluntary and does not create any contractual or other right or entitlement to receive future grants of Restricted Shares or other equity, or benefits in lieu of Restricted Shares, even if Restricted Shares have been granted in the past; and (c) all determinations with respect to future grants of Restricted Shares, if any, including the grant date, the number of Restricted Shares granted and the applicable vesting terms, will be at the sole discretion of the Committee.
8.NO EFFECT ON EMPLOYMENT. This Agreement is not an employment contract. The terms of the Participant's employment are not affected or changed in any way by the grant of Restricted Shares, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement afford the Participant any rights to compensation or damages, including for loss or potential loss that the Participant may suffer by reason of the Restricted Shares (including any Dividend Equivalent Rights) not vesting as a result of the termination of the Plan, forfeiture of the Restricted Shares or the termination of the Participant' s employment.
9.THE PLAN. The Restricted Shares awarded by the Company and described in this Agreement are made in accordance with and subject to the Plan. The terms of this Agreement are intended to be in full accordance with the Plan. However, in the event of any potential or actual conflict between any term of this Agreement and the Plan, this Agreement shall automatically be amended to comply with the terms of the Plan.
10.MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT. This Agreement together with any Exhibits represents the full and complete understanding between the Participant and the Company on the subjects covered. The Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations or inducements other than those contained in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, this Agreement cannot be modified or changed by any prior or contemporaneous or future oral agreement of the parties. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, this Agreement shall only be modified by the express written agreement of the parties.
11.BINDING AGREEMENT. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

12.NOTICES. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when either hand delivered, the next business day after being deposited with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or three business days after being mailed by United States Postal Service certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Legal Department of the Company, 12355 Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston VA 20191, or at such other address as the Company may designate in writing, and if to Participant at the Participant’s residence address then set forth in the Company’s employment records.
13.GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to choice of law or conflict of law rules.
14.BENEFICIARY OF DECEASED PARTICIPANT. Any distribution or delivery to be made to the Participant under this Agreement shall, if the Participant is then deceased, be made to the Participant's designated beneficiary named pursuant to the Plan, or if no beneficiary survives the transferee must furnish the Company with (a) written notice of his or her status as transferee, and (b) evidence satisfactory to the Company to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.
15.TAXATION. Regardless of any action the Company and/or the Subsidiary or affiliate employing the Participant (the "Employer") take with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant's participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant ("Tax-Related Items"), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Participant's responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Restricted Shares, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Shares, the issuance of shares in settlement of the Restricted Shares, the subsequent sale of shares acquired at vesting and the receipt of any dividends and/or any dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Restricted Shares to reduce or eliminate the Participant's liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.
Prior to the relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, the Participant shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax Related Items. In the event the Participant fails to pay or make such adequate arrangements, as determined by the Company and/or the Employer, the Participant hereby authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion and without further notice or authorization by Participant, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding in Restricted Shares to be issued upon vesting/settlement of the Restricted Shares as provided for in the Plan.
16.ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS. The Company and its affiliates may choose to deliver any documents related to Participant’s current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. By accepting this grant, the Participant consents and agrees to electronic delivery of any Plan documents, proxy materials, annual reports and other related documents, including all materials required to be distributed pursuant to applicable securities laws. The Company has established procedures for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of Plan documents (including documents relating to any programs adopted under the Plan). The Participant consents to such procedures and agrees to participate in the Plan through an online or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company. The Participant agrees that his or her electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, his or her manual signature. The Participant understands that, unless earlier revoked by the Participant, this consent shall be effective for the duration of the Agreement and that he or she shall have the right at any time to request written copies of any and all materials referred to above.
17.INSIDER-TRADING NOTIFICATION. The Participant should be aware of the insider-trading rules and acknowledges review of the Company's Insider Trading Policy, which may affect the sale of shares issued to the Participant upon settlement of the Restricted Shares. In particular, the Participant may be prohibited from effectuating certain transactions involving Restricted Shares if the Participant has material nonpublic information about the Company. If the Participant is uncertain whether the insider-trading rules are applicable, the Participant should consult with a personal legal advisor. The Participant acknowledges that the Company in its discretion may determine that a breach of the Insider Trading Policy constitutes material misconduct.

EXHIBIT A TO RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT
“Good Reason” shall mean, without Participant’s express written consent, the occurrence of any one or more of the following, provided that in each case the Company had an opportunity to cure but failed to do so (any such cure to be effected within 30 days after appropriate written notice is given by Participant to the Company): (i) a material reduction or adverse alteration in the nature of Participant’s position, duties, or responsibilities from those then in effect as of the Grant Date or date hereof, excluding any change that is solely a diminution in title or reporting relationships; (ii) a reduction by the Company in Participant’s rate of base salary or hourly compensation as in effect on the date hereof or as the same may be increased from time to time ("Base Compensation"); or (iii) a material change in the office or location at which the Company requires you to be based that requires you to regularly travel or commute more than 25 miles further than required immediately prior to the date that change in office or location is required without Participant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Irrespective of (ii) in the foregoing sentence, if the Company directs that compensation of all senior staff be temporarily reduced, and Participant’s Base Compensation is temporarily reduced by an amount that is no greater than proportional to the temporary reduction of salary of all Company Principals, Vice Presidents, Executive Vice Presidents and Chief Executive Officer (collectively "Company Senior Staff") and the duration of such temporary reduction is not greater than the duration of temporary reduction of salary of all Company Senior Staff, then such temporary reduction of Participant’s Base Compensation shall not be an event that justifies termination of Participant’s employment with the Company by you for Good Reason.
"Cause" exists (and a termination is without Cause if none of the following circumstances exist) if Participant’s termination follows: (i) dishonesty or theft by Participant in any manner connected with the performance of Participant’s duties to the Company; (ii) Participant’s conviction of, or a pleading of guilty or nolo contendere to any felony or to a misdemeanor that will materially injure the reputation of the Company; (iii) a material breach by Participant of the terms of either Participant’s employment letter or offer letter (including, without limitation, Participant’s breach of or non-compliance with the terms and conditions of non-solicitation, non-competition, and/or non-disclosure agreement; (iv) Participant’s failure for any reason, following thirty (30) days written notice thereof to Participant from the Company of the need to correct, cease, or otherwise alter any failure to comply with reasonable instructions or other action or omission to act by Participant which the Company reasonably believes is material and does or may adversely affect its business or operations; or (v) material misconduct by Participant which, in the Company's reasonable judgment, is of such a nature that a likelihood exists that such misconduct will materially injure the reputation of the Company if Participant were to remain employed by the Company.
