Positive
Record Backlog Growth: Our backlog soared to $14 billion, up 35% compared to the prior quarter, setting a new record since the 2008 merger of Tutor Saliba and Perini, and substantially above our previous record of $11.6 billion.
Backlog Growth Drivers: The strong backlog growth was driven by the awards of several new projects during the quarter, namely the $1.66 billion City Center Guideway and Stations Project in Honolulu, the $1.1 billion Kensico-Eastview Connection Tunnel in New York for Frontier-Kemper, and a major health care campus project in California worth over $1 billion for Rudolph and Sletten.
New Project Win: Our new awards continue to be strong in the fourth quarter as we recently won and announced the $331 million Apra Harbor Waterfront Repairs project in Guam, which will be managed by our subsidiary, Black Construction.
Fourth Quarter Cash Flow Expectations: Year-to-date, through the end of the third quarter our operating cash flow was $174 million. We expect tremendous fourth quarter operating cash flow in the range of a minimum of $250 million up to $400 million, much higher than we were anticipating on our last call.
Operating Cash Flow Projection: As a result, our fully year 2024 operating cash flow is now expected to be $425 million to $575 million, with even the low end of this range far exceeding our prior annual operating cash flow record of $308 million set last year.

Earnings Per Share Impact: Recent resolutions negatively impacted our third quarter EPS by $2.13, and our third quarter earnings were also negatively impacted by $0.23 due to elevated share-based compensation expense.
