For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, Great Lakes reported Revenue of $174.6 million, Net loss of $8.4 million, and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $4.4 million.
In the first quarter of 2015, we were awarded $208 million, or 84% of the domestic dredging bidding market, with the $135 million Savannah project accounting for a significant portion of our awards. The Savannah project will commence this summer and is expected to be completed by summer 2018. We were also awarded a $23 million coastal protection project in New York and $46 million in maintenance dredging awards.
Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Berger commented, "Our first quarter performance was impacted by expected business cyclicality losses in the environmental & remediation segment. The expected operating loss was further negatively impacted by pending change orders and claims. Change orders are being negotiated, and we are confident that their resolution will result in revenues and net income in subsequent quarters that will partially offset first quarter losses.
