If I recall, they have 1-1.5 billion dollars annually of just regular maintenance contracts. Another billion in projects. Probably would sell for over 10 billion. They are a huge employer in Louisiana and have been steadily growing in Texas.

Zero chance, that’s a 5x rev multiple. Assuming a ~15% margin profile, that’s 30+x EBITDA.

Don’t follow these types if companies, but I’d guess this is a 9-11x type of business.

So assuming 15% margin, $2B revenue, and a 10x multiple that would put them in the neighborhood of… $3B valuation?

So ballpark, call it a $2-4B company?

Although I wouldn’t be surprised if their actual margins were considerably lower than 15%. It’s a highly competitive business, and a large portion of their work is maintenance - i.e. reimbursable - which is generally very low margin business.

Also I have no idea if that $2B revenue number is accurate. Just going by what others have said ITT.

Shaw had an agreement to purchase Turner maybe 12-15 years ago but Turner backed out due to Shaw not agreeing to all of the conditions.


Was it per diem and a truck allowance?

Quite possibly one of the worst financial decisions in the history of Louisiana business.

On a side note: remember all the insider trading that went on around that sale? Seems like I remember a Ruston dentist getting busted as well as a few others.

Bernhard sold CB&I a lemon. Good for him I guess, getting out when he had over-leveraged and fricked everything up.

I was working at CB&I in st charles not long after they merged. They had a huge shop and it was very nice. Nicer than the refineries for sure

You post a lot of random Turner threads.

Didn't he only have to sit on the sidelines for something like 6 months, and then went and created Epic Piping?
