(NasdaqGS: STRL) (&#8220;Sterling&#8221; or &#8220;the Company&#8221;) today announced that it expects to report a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 in the range of between $1.07 and $1.13 per diluted share.&#160;&#160;The Company attributed the net loss primarily to two legacy projects, one in Texas and the other in Arizona, which encountered unanticipated costs in excess of initial project estimates.&#160;&#160;The net revisions to contract cost estimates were the result of site-specific conditions affecting the two contracts that became apparent during the 2013 second quarter.&#160;&#160;As previously reported, the Company will issue its results for the second quarter before the opening of the stock market on August 9<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 70%; VERTICAL-ALIGN: text-top">th</font> and hold a conference call later that morning.</font></div>

Despite these near-term issues, we remain enthusiastic and confident in our ability to deliver profitable growth in the coming quarters and years, driven by a combination of the many management and operating improvements we are making internally, coupled with strengthening end markets.&#8221;</font></div>
