The company had consistent success through the first quarter of 2022 as earnings continued to outpace expectations, with the company posting record first quarter earnings.
Chief Executive Officer, Joe Cutillo, noted, "We have transformed the company from a one-segment heavy highway construction business into a differentiated, three-segment, infrastructure solutions provider with a platform to further expand value-added services to our end customers. As a result, it is important our brand reflects more accurately who we are and what we do. The new name and logo, with a focus on innovation in infrastructure, is more reflective of who Sterling is today and our direction moving forward. Our mission at Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. is to build and service the infrastructure that enables our economy to run, our people to move and our country to grow.

Important Information for Investors and Stockholders
Non-GAAP Measures
This press release may contain "Non-GAAP" financial measures as defined under Regulation G of the amended U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company reports financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but the Company believes that certain Non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons of those operations.
Non-GAAP measures may include adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, in each case excluding the impacts of certain identified items. The excluded items represent items that the Company does not consider to be representative of its normal operations. The Company believes that these measures are useful for investors to review, because they provide a consistent measure of the underlying financial results of the Company’s ongoing business and, in the Company’s view, allow for a supplemental comparison against historical results and expectations for future performance. Furthermore, the Company uses each of these to measure the performance of the Company’s operations for budgeting and forecasting, as well as employee incentive compensation. However, Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as substitutes for net income, EPS, or other data prepared and reported in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed in addition to the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Reconciliations of Non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the tables included within this press release.
