Goldfield Announces Sharply Improved 2015 Results
MELBOURNE, FL--(March 16, 2016) - The Goldfield Corporation (NYSE MKT: GV)today announced significantly improved financial results for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Goldfield Corporation headquartered in Florida, through its subsidiaries, Power Corporation of America, Southeast Power Corporation and C and C Power Line, Inc., is a leading provider of electrical construction services for the utility industry and industrial customers, with operations primarily in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, including Texas.
Year Ended December 31, 2015
For the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 2014:
Revenue increased 22.6% to $120.6 million from $98.4 million, attributable to strong growth in master service agreements and other electrical construction work.
Income from continuing operations before taxes increased almost ten-fold to $8.2 million from $778,000, despite losses recognized in the first two quarters of this year on the now completed Texas projects. This increase was fueled by over 212% growth in electrical construction operations income before income taxes (a non-GAAP measure)(1) resulting from sharply higher revenues and improved margins. Margins on electrical construction operations operating income increased to 11.0% from 4.9% (a non-GAAP measure).(1)
Net income grew to $4.5 million ($0.18 per share) from a net loss of $319,000 ($0.01 loss per share).
Three months ended December 31, 2015
For the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to 2014:
Revenue increased 3.7% to $29.5 million from $28.4 million, despite the absence of large Texas projects that were not replaced in 2015. In the last quarter of 2014, the now completed Texas projects represented over 20% of electrical construction revenue.
Income from continuing operations before taxes increased to $3.9 million from a loss of $2.4 million. The loss in the 2014 period primarily resulted from the Texas projects. Margins on electrical construction operations operating income increased to 17.7% from (4.3)% (a non-GAAP measure).(1)
Net income grew to $2.3 million ($0.09 per share) from a net loss of $1.6 million ($0.06 loss per share).
Backlog
Twelve-month electrical construction backlog has remained steady. As of December 31, 2015, $84.7 million of backlog is expected to be realized within twelve months, compared to $85.3 million as of the same date last year. Total backlog, which includes total revenue estimated over the life of an MSA plus estimated revenue from fixed-price contracts, was $202.9 million as of December 31, 2015, compared to $275.0 million as of the same date last year. This decline resulted from completion of some MSA work, not replaced by new work and the reduction in estimated work under certain MSAs. The size and amount of future projects awarded under MSAs cannot be determined with certainty and revenue from such contracts may vary substantially from current estimates.
John H. Sottile, President and Chief Executive Officer of Goldfield said, "The results achieved in 2015 represented a major turnaround for our electrical construction operations. We have made significant strides in both growing our business and improving operating efficiencies. The foundation we have built in 2015 should position us well for 2016."

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures - The non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release are more fully described in the accompanying supplemental data and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the reported GAAP measures. The non-GAAP measures in this press release and on The Goldfield Corporation's website are provided to enable investors and analysts to evaluate the Company's performance excluding the effects of certain items that impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods and compare the Company's operating results with those of its competitors. These measures should be used to supplement, and not in lieu of, results prepared in conformity with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of electrical construction operations operating income may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.

We have based these statements on our current expectations about future events. Although we believe that our expectations reflected in or suggested by our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will be achieved.

Electrical construction operations operating income (loss), is defined as consolidated operating income (loss) adjusted for non-electrical construction activity within operating income (loss) including: other operations gross margins and non-electrical construction selling, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization, and gain or loss on sale of property and equipment. Electrical construction operations operating income (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure, does not purport to be an alternative to the Company's operating income (loss) as a measure of operations. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation of electrical construction operations operating income (loss) may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies. We believe investors may benefit from the presentation of electrical construction operations operating income (loss) in evaluating our operating performance because it provides our investors with an additional tool to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect our core operations and is useful in comparing our operating results with those of our competitors.
