NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.	Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Business

Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (along with its consolidated subsidiaries, “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; as well as 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. However, with respect to certain specialty services or other compliance requirements within a particular contract, we may engage third-party sub-consultants. The Company’s headquarters is located in Reston, VA and the Company has over 60 offices throughout the United States.

Common Stock Offering

On February 11, 2022, the Company closed on an offering of common stock in which it issued and sold 900,000 shares at an offering price of $16.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $13.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, but before expenses of the offering. In addition, Gary Bowman, our President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, sold 150,000 shares of common stock.

On February 28, 2022, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 157,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an offering price of $16.00 per share, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million. After giving effect to this exercise of the overallotment option, the total number of shares sold by the Company in this common stock offering increased to 1,057,500 shares with total gross proceeds of approximately $16.9 million. The exercise of the over-allotment option closed on March 2, 2022, at which time the Company received net proceeds of $2.4 million after underwriting discounts and commissions.

Deferred offering costs consist primarily of accounting, legal and other fees related to our common stock offering. Prior to the offering, all deferred costs were capitalized within prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. We capitalized $0.5 million of deferred offering costs within prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes of the Company 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 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 consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,2021 (the Annual Report) filed with the SEC on March 23, 2022.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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. In general, the Company has 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.

The Company generally recognizes revenue over time as control transfers to a customer based upon the extent of progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation. For services delivered under fixed price contracts, the Company uses the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs at completion (an input method) as a reasonable measure of progress towards the satisfaction of a performance in order to estimate the portion of revenue earned. 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. As such, a contract must contain hourly billed components exclusively to qualify for the as-billed practical expedient in ASC Topic 606.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 six months ended June 30, 2022, or the year ended December 31, 2021. 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.

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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

•

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;

•

The liability related to shares subject to repurchase is recognized at fair value using Level 1 inputs as there is an active market for the Company’s publicly traded stock. For further discussion, see Note 15, Stock Bonus Plan. The liability related to shares subject to repurchase was $0 and $7,000 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

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 six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was (37.9%) and 30.7%, respectively. The change was due primarily to a windfall tax adjustment which results from the vesting of restricted stock awards at a value higher than the grant date fair value, an increase in R&D credits and projected limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation. The windfall tax adjustment for restricted stock awards is $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. There was no windfall tax adjustments from restricted stock awards for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The R&D credit was $2.0 million as of June 30, 2022 and $1.2 million as of June 30, 2021. The annual projected limitation on the deductibility of executive compensation is currently $3.7 million for 2022.

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 2018 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 recently adopted

In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, creating an exception to the recognition and measurement principles in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The amendments in this Update require that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than using fair value. The Company adopted the new standard on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2021. The impact of this ASU is reflected in the consolidated financial statements and was not material.

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. The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2022. The impact of this ASU is not material to its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting guidance not yet adopted

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 ASU 2016-02 for the Company is January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is not required to be reflected in the consolidated financial statements or disclosures until the year ending December 31, 2022, and therefore is not reflected in the consolidated financial statements on this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

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 and related disclosures.

The Company does not believe that any recently issued standards other than those noted above would have a material effect on 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 and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. 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 dilutive effect of options is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of shares to be purchased under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan is reflected in diluted earnings per share by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding that would have been outstanding during the period. The Company uses the two-class method to determine earnings per share.

For calculating basic earnings per share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the weighted average number of shares outstanding exclude 2,073,783 and 2,077,218 non-vested restricted shares and 13,448 and 14,013 unexercised substantive options. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 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 and six months ended June 30, 2021, the weighted average number of shares outstanding exclude 1,719,138 and 1,209,177 non-vested restricted shares and 32,067 and 43,743 unexercised substantive options. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands, except share data):

4. Acquisitions

Business Combinations

Perry Engineering, LLC.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company signed a purchase agreement to acquire Perry Engineering, LLC (“Perry”), with an effective date of February 2, 2022. Perry is a civil engineering and land surveying firm based in Tucson, AZ. The Company paid total consideration of $0.9 million, which was comprised of 9,833 shares of common stock, at $17.01 per share, for a total of $0.2 million, plus $0.7 million in cash, promissory note and assumed liabilities. The promissory note has a 5.00% interest rate with equal quarterly payments beginning on May 2, 2022 and ending February 2, 2024.

The acquisition of Perry allows Bowman to further enhance its land architectural and civil engineering competencies thereby allowing the Company to broaden its offerings and better serve its public and private sector customers.

The purchase price allocation consists primarily of Goodwill and is based upon preliminary information that 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 Perry’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.

McMahon Associates, Inc.

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company signed a purchase agreement to acquire McMahon Associates, Inc. (“McMahon”), with an effective date of May 4, 2022. McMahon is a company that specializes in transportation planning and engineering based in Fort Washington, PA. The Company paid total consideration of $18.3 million, which was comprised of 476,796 shares of common stock, at $16.64 per share, for a total of $7.9 million, plus $10.4 million in cash, two promissory notes and assumed liabilities. The shares are subject to a six-month lock-up. The first and second promissory notes bear a simple interest rate fixed at the Prime Rate.

The first promissory note will have equal quarterly payments beginning on August 4, 2022 and ending May 4, 2025. The second promissory note will be payable in one installment of principal and interest due on March 15, 2023. For tax purposes, the acquisition will be treated as an asset acquisition, resulting in a step up in tax basis. Accordingly, there are no material deferred tax assets or liabilities to be recorded through purchase accounting.

The acquisition of McMahon allows Bowman to further enhance its transportation and engineering competencies thereby allowing the Company to broaden its offerings and better serve its public and private sector customers.

14. Employee Stock Purchase and Stock Incentive Plans

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Effective April 30, 2021, the Company established the Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, eligible employees who elect to participate are granted the right to purchase shares of common stock at a 15% discount of the weighted average selling price of the Company stock for the 30 days prior to the last day of the offering period.

The following table summarizes the stock issuance activity under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except share data):

	June 30, 2022
Total purchase price paid by employees for shares sold	$	593

Number of shares sold		46,063

Stock Options

Effective May 11, 2021 the Company established the Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“the Plan”). The plan is administered by the Board of Directors through which they can grant stock options, including Incentive Stock Options (“ISO”), and non-qualified stock options (“NQSO”). The purpose of the Plan is to grant equity incentive awards to eligible participants to attract, motivate and retain key personnel. The Plan supersedes and replaces any prior plan for stock options except that the prior plan shall remain in effect with respect to options granted under such prior plan until such options have been exercised, expired or canceled.

The number of shares for which each option shall be granted, whether the option is an ISO or NQSO, the option price, the exercisability of the option, and all other terms and conditions of the option are determined by the Board at the time the option is granted. The options generally vest over a period between two and five years.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, no new option shares were granted.

A summary of the status of stock options exercised, including the substantive options discussed in Note 3, is as follows:

	Number of shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at December 31, 2021		14,927		$	5.99
Granted		-			-
Exercised		(2,271	)		5.97
Expired or cancelled		-			-
Outstanding at June 30, 2022		12,656		$	5.99

The following summarizes information about options outstanding and exercisable at January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2022:

	Options Outstanding and Exercisable
	Exercise Price		Total Outstanding		Weighted Average Remaining Life (Years)		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Total Exercisable
January 1, 2022	$	6.57		14,927		5.0	$	5.99		14,927
June 30, 2022	$	6.28		12,656		5.0	$	5.99		12,656

The intrinsic value of these options on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $6.06 and $14.68, respectively.

The Company received cash payments of $6,739 from the exercise of options under the Stock Option Plan in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company did not record any compensation costs related to stock options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, there is no unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Stock Option Plan. The remaining unexercised shares are from substantive options in which the non-recourse notes may be pre-paid, therefore the Company recognized the total calculated compensation expense at the time of issuance.

Stock Bonus Plan

Effective May 11, 2021, the Company established the Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“the Plan”). The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors through which they can issue restricted stock awards. As of June 30, 2022, 3,450,729 shares of common stock are authorized and reserved for issuance under the Plan. This reserve automatically increases on each January 1, for the duration of the Plan, in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares outstanding on December 31^st of the preceding calendar year. The Plan supersedes and replaces any prior plan for stock bonus grants to employees of the Company except that the prior plan shall remain in effect with respect to awards granted under such prior plan until such awards have been forfeited or fully vested.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Board granted 328,489 shares of restricted stock under the Plan. The shares have a vesting period of up to five years during which there are certain restrictions as described in the Plan and Stock Bonus Agreements. The grant date fair value of the award is the closing price of the shares on such date, or if there are no sales on such date, on the next preceding day on which there were sales.

Effective April 2003, the Company adopted the Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. Stock Bonus Plan (“the Stock Bonus Plan”), which allowed for the awarding of restricted stock to employees. The Stock Bonus Plan was superseded by the Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan except that the Stock Bonus Plan shall remain in effect with respect to awards granted under it until such awards have been forfeited or fully vested.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 no new restricted stock awards were granted under the Stock Bonus Plan.

The following table summarizes the activity of restricted shares subject to forfeiture:

	Number of shares			Weighted Average Grant Price
Outstanding at January 1, 2022		2,218,283			13.74

On November 10, 2021 the compensation committee of the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2021 Executive Officers Long Term Incentive Plan (“Officers LTIP”). The Officers LTIP is established under the Plan and is subject to the terms and conditions thereof. The purpose of this plan is to attract, retain and motivate key officers and employees through the grant of equity-based awards that reward Company performance over a period greater than one year and align their interests with long-term stockholder value.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the compensation committee approved the grants of 447,429 performance-based stock units to certain executive officers of the Company under the Officers LTIP. The performance based restricted stock units are subject to a market condition, with a vesting period of 2.91 years. The number of units earned is based on total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Company’s common stock relative to the TSR of the components of a custom peer group during the performance period from February 10, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The performance stock units are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation with model inputs of opening average share value, valuation date stock price, expected volatilities, correlation coefficient, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividend yield for the Company and the custom peer group.

The following table summarizes the activity of performance stock units subject to forfeiture:

	Number of shares		Weighted Average Grant Price
Outstanding at January 1, 2022		260,842		13.81
Granted		186,587		13.05

17. Subsequent Events

On July 15, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Project Design Consultants, LLC pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated July 15, 2022 (the “Agreement”), among the Company, Project Design Consultants LLC, Project Design Consultants Holdings, Inc. (“PDC Holdings”) and certain key shareholders of PDC Holdings. The aggregate consideration was approximately $11.0 million which consisted of (i) $5.0 million in cash (ii) non-negotiable promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $2.0 million, subject to adjustment and (iii) a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of $4.0 million. The Convertible Note accrues interest at a fixed rate of 4.75% per annum and may be convertible in whole or in part at any time to Bowman common stock at a conversion price of $14.00 per share.

For the period ending December 31, 2021, the Company recorded an uncertain tax position of $1.9 million for being on an impermissible method in deducting stock-based compensation expense for income tax purposes consistent with the timing as recognized for book purposes. The Company filed Form 3115 with the Internal Revenue Service requesting to change from the impermissible method to a permissible method. On July 27, 2022 the change in accounting method was approved by the IRS. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company will therefore record a reversal of the uncertain tax position, establishment of a deferred tax liability for the 481(a) amount and a reduction in tax expense for the related tax deductions in excess of book expenses.

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 in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”) filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and 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 June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $62.4 million and $36.5 million, respectively representing year over year growth of 71.0%. Gross contract revenue derived from our workforce represented 90.3% and 88.9% of gross contract revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively (see Net service billing – non-GAAP below). Our adjusted EBITDA was $7.6 million on net loss of $0.3 million and $4.2 million on net loss of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Gross contract revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $114.9 million and $68.3 million, respectively representing year over year growth of 68.2%. Gross contract revenue derived from our workforce represented 90.6% and 89.8% of gross contract revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively (see Net service billing – non-GAAP below). Our adjusted EBITDA was $15.0 million on net income of $1.1 million and $8.3 million on net income of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

On May 4, 2022, we completed the acquisition of McMahon Associates, Inc. pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated May 4, 2022, among the Company, McMahon, McMahon Associates Holdings, Inc. (“McMahon Holdings”) and certain shareholders of McMahon Holdings. The aggregate consideration was approximately $18.3 million which consisted of (i) $7.0 million in cash, (ii) non-negotiable promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $3.4 million, subject to adjustment, and (iii) the issuance of 476,796 shares of restricted common stock which was priced at $16.64 per share on May 4, 2022. The restricted shares are subject to a six-month lock-up agreement. The transaction was structured as a stock purchase with a joint election to treat the acquisition as an asset sale pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. As such, determination of the final acquisition cost is subject to adjustment based on customary post-closing purchase price accounting. The acquisition of McMahon Associates, Inc. allows Bowman to further enhance its transportation planning and engineering services to private and public sector clients thereby allowing us to broaden our offering and better serve our public and private sector customers.

Subsequent Events

On July 15, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Project Design Consultants, LLC pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated July 15, 2022, among the Company, Project Design Consultants LLC, Project Design Consultants Holdings, Inc. (“PDC Holdings”) and certain key shareholders of PDC Holdings. The aggregate consideration was approximately $11.0 million which consisted of (i) $5.0 million in cash, (ii) non-negotiable promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $2.0 million, subject to adjustment, and (iii) a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) in the principal amount of $4.0 million. The Convertible Note accrues interest at a fixed rate of 4.75% per annum and may be convertible in whole or in part at any time to Bowman common stock at a conversion price of $14.00 per share.

Common Stock Offering

On February 8, 2022, we priced an underwritten follow-on offering of 900,000 shares of our common stock (the “Firm Shares”) at an offering price of $16.00 per share. The shares were sold pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-262464). In addition, Gary Bowman, our President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, sold an aggregate of 150,000 shares of common stock in the offering. We granted the underwriters of the offering a 30-day option to purchase up to 157,500 shares of our common stock solely to cover over-allotments. On February 11, 2022, we closed on the underwritten follow-on offering and received net proceeds of approximately $13.7 million after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, and Mr. Bowman received aggregate proceeds of approximately $2.4 million. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by Mr. Bowman.

On February 28, 2021, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 157,500 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $16.00 per share, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million. After giving effect to this exercise of the overallotment option, the total number of shares sold by us in the follow-on offering increased to 1,057,500 shares with total gross proceeds of approximately $16.9 million. The exercise of the over-allotment option closed on March 2, 2022, at which time we received net proceeds of approximately $2.4 million after underwriting discounts and commissions.

COVID-19 Update

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. Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other non-current obligations in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, is $1.2 million of deferred employer payroll taxes as afforded us under the CARES Act. We are evaluating, and will continue to evaluate, the impact of COVID-19 on projects and our operations.

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 may not be in accordance with GAAP (Non-GAAP). We use all 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 generally contain multiple assignments based on 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 $3.9 million and $6.8 million or 6% and 6% of our gross contract revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, hourly assignments represented approximately $10.5 million and $20.0 million or 29% and 29% of our gross contract revenue, 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. Most of our assignments are lump sum in nature representing approximately $57.8 million and $107.5 million or 94% and 94% of our gross contract revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, assignments that are lump sum in nature representing approximately $26.0 million and $48.3 million or 71% and 71% of our gross contract revenue, 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.

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. Non-cash stock compensation cost 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, including costs associated with acquisitions.

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.

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, non-core 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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, gross contract revenue from our building infrastructure market (formerly referred to as communities, homes, and buildings) increased $17.4 million or 69.0% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Building infrastructure represents our largest market in terms of revenue concentration. The increase in building infrastructure revenue is the result of organic growth and acquisitions. Within the building infrastructure market, 43.6% of gross contract revenue was derived from residential activities, 43.4% from commercial activities, 12.0% from municipal activities and 1.0% from in-building services. Within residential, 49.2% of gross contract revenue was derived from for-sale homebuilding activity, 36.8% from residential multi-family and 14.0% from mixed use projects. While the homebuilding market shows signs of weakness, for-sale residential services represent just 14.6% of our gross contract revenue for three months ended June 30, 2022. We continue to experience strong demand for our building infrastructure services and maintain a positive outlook on this market and expect it to represent most of our gross revenue for the remainder of 2022.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenue from transportation increased $5.1 million or 122.2% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was principally attributable to the acquisition of McMahon Associates, Inc. Recent contract awards in transportation, such as Cook County DOT along with clients and projects such as TX DOT added through acquisitions are beginning to generate meaningful new transportation revenue. We expect that our recent acquisition of McMahon Associates, Inc. will continue to increase our transportation revenue and will improve the diversification of our revenue. We believe the transportation market continues to present significant opportunity for future growth and we remain committed to investing in leadership, technical expertise, business development and acquisitions for this market.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenue from power and utilities increased $1.7 million or 28.1% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in gross contract revenue from the power and utilities market is principally attributable to increased revenue associated with the expansion of a multi-year utility undergrounding assignment in Florida. Along with additional increases derived from gas pipeline and electric transmission projects nationally. 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. As evidenced by recent increases in program commitments within the gas pipeline market, we believe trends in power and utilities provide meaningful opportunity for continued growth and we are committed to investing resources accordingly.

Our other emerging markets consist of renewable energy and energy efficiency, mining, water resources, and other natural resources services. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenue from emerging markets increased $1.7 million or 168.4% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross contract revenue in our emerging markets was 54.6% from energy transition activities including solar, electric, and renewable energies, 38.1% from mining activities where we have specialized in copper mining and 7.3% from water resources activities. Scarcities in water resources and the increasing need for water management gives us confidence that we will be able to increase revenue accordingly. With recent and future acquisitions, we expect to experience continued growth from investment in renewable energy and energy transition.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, public sector customers, defined as direct contracts with municipalities, public agencies, or governmental authorities, represented 19.9% and 12.3% of our gross contract revenue, respectively. This increase

is principally attributable to our acquisition program. This does not include work done indirectly on public sector projects. Gross contract revenue from projects for public sector clients are included in the end market most aligned with work performed.

Contract costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

Total contract costs, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased $12.9 million or 70.9% to $31.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $18.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, total contract costs represented 49.8% and 49.8% of total contract revenue, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 total contract costs represented 55.0% and 56.0% of revenue attributable to our workforce, respectively (see Net Service Revenue).

Direct payroll costs increased $11.0 million or 78.0% to $25.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $14.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Direct payroll accounted for 80.7% of total contract costs for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 3.0 percentage points as compared to 77.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Direct labor, the component of direct payroll costs associated with the cost of labor relating to work performed on contracts increased $7.3 million or 69.5% to $17.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in direct labor is primarily due to an increase in staffing to accommodate growth. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, direct labor costs represented 28.6% and 28.8% of gross contract revenue, respectively and represented 31.7% and 32.4% 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 $3.6 million or 100.0% to $7.2 million as compared to $3.6 million. This increase includes a $1.2 million increase in employee payroll taxes and a $1.3 million increase in health benefits primarily due to the increase in overall labor. This increase includes $0.7 million in increased non-cash compensation expense as several new stock awards were granted to management as well as employees in connection with acquisitions.

Sub-consultants and other direct expenses increased $1.9 million or 46.3% to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, sub-consultant and other direct expenses represented 9.6% and 11.1% of gross contract revenue, respectively. This decrease is not indicative of an anticipated long-term shift in the composition of our gross contract revenue, and we expect to experience periodic volatility in concentration of sub-consultant utilization.

Operating Expense

Total operating expense increased $12.2 million or 65.2% to $30.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10.9 million or 63.4% to $28.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Indirect labor increased $4.8 million or 72.7% to $11.4 million as compared to $6.6 million primarily due to an increase in staffing to accommodate growth. General overhead increased $3.9 million or 68.4% to $9.6 million as compared to $5.7 million due to increased costs associated with operating as a public company and the overall growth of the company. Non-cash stock compensation increased $1.8 million or 163.6% to $2.9 million as compared to $1.1 million as several new stock awards were granted to Company leadership as well as employees in connection with acquisitions.

Depreciation and amortization increased $1.3 million or 86.7% to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is primarily due to an increase in leased assets and intangible assets. We continue to increase the use of our capital lease facility as we continue to grow. Intangible assets have increased due to multiple acquisitions throughout 2021 and into the first half of 2022. Gains on the sale of certain IT equipment and automobiles remained unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2022 at less than $0.1 million of gain on the disposal of such assets.

Other (Income) Expense

Other expense increased by $0.8 million to $1.0 million of expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense of $0.1 million and an increase of acquisition related expenses of $0.6 million.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased $0.1 million or 100.0% to $0.2 million benefit, as compared to $0.1 million benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 37.1% as compared to 13.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily driven by the windfall tax benefit associated with stock compensation vesting, the projected annual research and development tax credit and the limitation of the deductibility of executive compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to June 30, 2021.

Income (Loss) Before Tax and Net Income (Loss)

There was no change in loss before tax for the three months ended June 30, 2022 of $0.5 million loss compared to $0.5 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Net loss decreased by $0.1 million or 25.0% to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Other financial information and Non-GAAP key performance indicators

Net service billing (non-GAAP)

Net service billing increased $23.9 million or 73.5% to $56.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $32.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Net service billing reconciles to gross contract revenue as follows (in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021
Gross contract revenue	$	62,399	$	36,524
Less: sub-consultants and other direct expenses		5,983		4,065
Net services billing	$	56,416	$	32,459

Net service billing as a percentage of gross contract revenue increased 1.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

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 focuses its internal performance metrics on net service billing.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP)

Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.4 million or 81.0% to $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA reconciles to net income as follows (in thousands):

For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, Adjusted EBITDA includes add backs of $4.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, relating to non-cash stock compensation expenses resulting from the vesting of restricted stock awards. For the three

months ended June 30, 2022, Adjusted EBITDA also includes $0.9 million relating to non-recurring acquisition expense and a legal settlement. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Adjusted EBITDA also includes $1.4 million if transaction related expenses.

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 June 30, 2022 and 2021, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, net was 13.4% and 12.9% respectively.

Six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, gross contract revenue from our building infrastructure market (formerly referred to as communities, homes, and buildings) increased $35.1 million or 75.9% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Building infrastructure represents our largest market in terms of revenue concentration. The increase in building infrastructure revenue is the result of organic growth and acquisitions. Within the building infrastructure market, 44.1% of gross contract revenue was derived from residential activities, 42.3% from commercial activities, 12.5% from municipal activities and 1.0% from in-building services. Within residential, 48.8% of gross contract revenue was derived from for-sale homebuilding activity, 37.6% from residential multi-family and 13.6% from mixed use projects. While the homebuilding market shows signs of weakness, for-sale residential services represented just 15.3% of our gross contract revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022. We continue to experience strong demand for our building infrastructure services and maintain a positive outlook on this market and expect it to represent most of our gross revenue for the remainder of 2022.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, revenue from transportation increased $5.0 million or 59.7% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was principally attributable to the acquisition of McMahon Associates, Inc.

Gross contract revenue in our emerging markets was 54.4% from energy transition activities including solar, electric, and renewable energies, 37.7% from mining activities where we have specialized in copper mining and 7.9% from water resources activities. Scarcities in water resources and the increasing need for water management gives us confidence that we will be able to increase revenue accordingly. With recent and future acquisitions, we expect to experience continued growth from investment in renewable energy and energy transition.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, public sector customers, defined as direct contracts with municipalities, public agencies, or governmental authorities, represented 15.9% and 6.6% 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.

Contract costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

Total contract costs, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased $22.2 million or 64.7% to $56.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $34.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, total contract costs represented 49.2% and 50.3% of total contract revenue, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 total contract costs represented 54.3% and 56.0% of revenue attributable to our workforce, respectively (see Net Service Revenue).

Direct payroll costs increased $18.4 million or 67.4% to $46.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $27.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Direct payroll accounted for 81.0% of total contract costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 1.4 percentage points as compared to 79.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Direct labor, the component of direct payroll costs associated with the cost of labor relating to work performed on contracts increased $12.8 million or 62.7% to $33.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared $20.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in direct labor is primarily due to an increase in staffing to accommodate growth. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, direct labor costs represented 28.9% and 29.9% of gross contract revenue, respectively and represented 31.9% and 33.3% 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 $5.7 million or 82.6% to $12.6 million as compared to $6.9 million. This increase includes a $1.9 million increase in employee payroll taxes and a $2.4 million increase in health benefits primarily due to the increase in overall labor. This increase includes $1.0 million in increased non-cash compensation expense as several new stock awards were granted to Company leadership as well as employees in connection with acquisitions.

Indirect labor increased $7.7 million or 60.6% to $20.4 million as compared to $12.7 million primarily due to an increase in staffing to accommodate growth. General overhead increased $8.3 million or 83.8% to $18.2 million as compared to $9.9 million due to increased costs associated with operating as a public company and the overall growth of the company. Non-cash stock compensation increased $3.6 million or 211.8% to $5.3 million as compared to $1.7 million as several new stock awards were granted to Company leadership as well as employees in connection with acquisitions.

Depreciation and amortization increased $2.3 million or 79.3% to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is primarily due to an increase in leased assets and intangible assets. We continue to increase the use of our capital lease facility as we continue to grow. Intangible assets have increased due to multiple acquisitions throughout 2021 and into the first half of 2022. Gains on the sale of certain IT equipment and automobiles remained unchanged for the six months ended June 30, 2022 at less than $0.1 million of gain on the disposal of such assets.

Other (Income) Expense

Other expense increased by $1.1 million to $1.5 million of expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense of $0.3 million and an increase of acquisition related expenses of $0.8 million.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased $0.5 million or 250.0% to $0.3 million benefit, as compared to $0.2 million expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was (37.9%) as compared to 30.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily driven by the windfall tax benefit associated with stock compensation vesting, the projected annual research and development tax credit and the limitation on the deductibility of executive compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to June 30, 2021, see note 2, Income Taxes.

Income Before Tax and Net Income

There was no change to income before tax for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $0.8 million compared to $0.8 million income for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net income increased by $0.6 million or 120.0% to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity under our asset-based 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. On June 30, 2022, we maintained a $25.0 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, our primary lender. Under the terms of our credit facility, available cash in our primary operating account sweeps against the outstanding balance every evening. Our cash on hand therefore generally consists of petty cash and other non-operating funds not included in the nightly sweep. Our cash on hand increased by $5.2 million at June 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021. We regularly monitor our capital requirements and believe our sources of liquidity, including cash flow from operations, existing cash and borrowing availability under our credit and lease facilities will be sufficient to fund our projected cash requirements and strategic initiatives for the next year.

We are actively pursuing acquisitions as part of our strategic growth initiative. At any given time, we are assessing multiple opportunities at varying stages of due diligence. These acquisition opportunities range in size, timing of closing, valuation and

composition of consideration. In connection with acquisitions, we use a combination of cash, bank financing, seller financing, and equity to satisfy the purchase price. At this time, we have several acquisitions under consideration. There can be no assurance that any opportunity in the process of being reviewed will close but we expect over time to utilize a meaningful portion our current liquidity and capital resources for acquisitions.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:

	For the Six Months Ended June 30,
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (amounts in thousands)	2022			2021
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	4,268		$	(472	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(8,099	)		(1,570	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		8,995			40,201
Change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash		5,164			38,159
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period		25,783			38,545

Operating Activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $4.3 million, which primarily consisted of our $1.1 million net profit, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense of $7.3 million, and depreciation and amortization expense of $5.2 million, offset by a net cash outflow of $9.5 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $10.3 million increase in accounts receivable resulting from increased billing to our clients, and a $5.1 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, partially offset by a $5.9 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $0.5 million, which primarily consisted of our $0.5 million net profit, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense of $2.7 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $2.9 million, and a decrease in deferred taxes of $1.3 million, offset by a net cash outflow of $5.5 million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $9.4 million increase in accounts receivable resulting from increased billing to our clients, a $1.2 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets primarily due to the purchase of fiduciary directors and officer’s insurance and a $0.7 million increase in contract assets and liabilities, partially offset by a $5.8 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $6.5 million to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net cash used for investing is primarily attributable to acquisitions that occurred in the first half of 2022.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $9.0 million compared to $40.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $31.2 million. The decrease in net cash provided by financing is primarily attributable to net proceeds of $15.5 million from our common stock offering net of underwriting discounts commissions and other offering costs during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the $47.5 million from our initial public offering net of underwriting discounts commissions and other offering costs during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Credit Facilities and Other Financing

As of June 30, 2022, we maintained a $25.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Line”) and three non-revolving credit facilities (“Fixed Line 1”, “Fixed Line 2” and “Facility 4”) pursuant to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, our primary lender. Under the terms of the credit facility, available cash in our primary operating account sweeps against the outstanding balance every evening. As of June 30, 2022, we did not have a balance on this Revolving Line as we used a portion of the net proceeds from our initial public offering to satisfy this obligation. On July 30, 2021, we entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement whereby the maturity date of the Revolving Line was extended to July 31, 2023. The Sixth Amendment eliminated the adjusted debt to EBITDA covenant along with certain administrative requirements and established the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as the replacement for LIBOR. Additional modifications to the Revolving Line included expanded allowances for acquisition and reduced interest rate spreads, among other things. Each of Fixed Line 1 and Fixed Line 2 has a maximum advance

of $1.0 million and Facility 4 is a term loan with a principal amount of $1.0 million. On May 23, 2022, we entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which further extended the term of the Revolving Line until July 31, 2024 and increased the maximum principal amount of the Revolving Line to $25 million. The maximum advance is equal to the lesser of $25 million or the Borrowing Base as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Seventh Amendment requires monthly payments of interest on the Revolving Line at the daily SOFR, plus an applicable rate which varies between 2.00% and 2.60% based on the Company ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA (as each is defined in the Credit Agreement). For further information regarding Revolving Line and our borrowings under our non-revolving credit facilities, see note 11, Bank Revolving Line of Credit and Fixed Credit Facilities. We must maintain, on a consolidated basis, certain financial covenants including fixed charge coverage ratio, debt to EBITDA and adjusted debt to EBITDA ratios. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

We have master lease facilities with Huntington Technology Finance and Enterprise Leasing. The Huntington Technology Finance 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 Huntington 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, 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 Annual Report on From 10-K filed with the SEC dated March 23, 2022.
