Adds Platform Company for Western North Carolina

Enters Charlotte Metro Area

DOTHAN, Ala., Dec. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Construction Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROAD) ("CPI" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated civil infrastructure company specializing in the construction and maintenance of roadways across six southeastern states, today announced that it has acquired Ferebee Corporation, a full-service hot-mix asphalt and paving company headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. With three hot-mix asphalt plants in the greater Charlotte/Rock Hill metro area, Ferebee provides asphalt contracting services for a variety of public, commercial and residential projects.

Fred J. (Jule) Smith, III, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased to welcome Ferebee Corporation to the Construction Partners family of companies, expanding our geographic footprint into western North Carolina. As a platform acquisition, Ferebee creates another engine for growth driven by a talented and experienced team under the leadership of Chris and David Ferebee. This new platform company will capitalize on opportunities from the rapid growth occurring in the greater Charlotte/Rock Hill markets and surrounding areas. Through our two platform companies in North Carolina, we are now better positioned to serve the infrastructure needs of one of the fastest growing states in the country."

Smith concluded, "Consistent with CPI's long-established consolidation growth strategy in the Southeast, this investment expands top-line revenue growth, drives margin expansion and increases relative market share. The Ferebee acquisition, coupled with our recent strategic sale of Daurity Springs Quarry and entry into the Nashville area, expands our operations into two fast growing markets while maintaining the Company's 2022 fiscal year-end leverage ratio. Additionally, we expect both of these new operations to be accretive to earnings in this fiscal year."
