CEO Commentary
"Fiscal 2024, our third full year as a public company, was another successful year of growth for Bowman," said Gary Bowman, chairman and CEO of Bowman. "We made eight strategic acquisitions which grew our presence across all our markets, expanded our geographic footprint, added significant new talent, deepened our technical services and laid a solid foundation for continued long-term organic revenue growth. We finished the year strong, producing as much operating cash flow in the fourth quarter as we did for all of 2023, and nearly doubling our cash flows from operations during the first nine months of 2024. For the year, we posted record results and delivered another year of meaningful backlog growth. Bookings were especially strong in the second half of 2024 generating a healthy book-to-burn ratio.
"This year’s off to a strong start with continued strong bookings pacing ahead of plan. Looking ahead, our objective in 2025 is to make investments in service line expansions and technology tools that will increase our wallet-share with customers, improve the delivery of our services and accelerate long-term organic growth. We believe the market for our services is as dynamic, technologically complex and economically viable as it has ever been, supported by continued demand for infrastructure expansion and improvement. To date, we have experienced minimal adverse impact from recent changes in government spending priorities and economic policies. We remain optimistic about our long-term trajectory and confident in our ability to create value for our shareholders."
Stock Repurchase Activities
Bowman repurchased $34.4 million of common stock during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, with $11.1 million from the repurchase of shares from employees in connection with the payment of taxes associated with stock vesting and $23.3 million under a Company repurchase authorization. The average price paid during the twelve months was approximately $26.56 per share repurchased.
After the end of the year, the Company has repurchased an additional $4.1 million of its common stock under its repurchase authorization. Approximately $11.0 million remains available under the Company’s current repurchase authorization.

1 Non-GAAP financial metric the Company believes offers valuable perspective on results of operations (see non-GAAP tables below for reconciliations).
2 Organic growth for the three and twelve months ended 12/31/24 excludes revenue from acquisitions completed on or after January 1, 2024. Year over year growth rates only reflect revenue recognized post-acquisition.
3 Basic Adjusted EPS and Diluted Adjusted EPS are all non-GAAP financial metrics the Company believes offer valuable perspectives on results of operations (see non-GAAP tables below for reconciliations). Adjusted EPS (Basic and Diluted) include addbacks for non-reoccurring expenses specific to acquisitions, non-cash stock compensation expense associated with pre-IPO grants, and other expenses not in the ordinary course of business. With respect to the elimination of any non-cash stock compensation expense, the Company computes an adjusted tax expense or benefit which accounts for the elimination of any periodic windfall or shortfall tax effects resulting from the difference between grant date fair value and vest date value. With respect to all other eliminations, the Company applies its average marginal statutory tax rate, currently 25.8%, to derive the tax adjustment associated with the elimination of expenses. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EPS to GAAP EPS, both basic and diluted, is included with this press release for reference.
