LISTMAKERS

HOW THE LIST COMES TOGETHER

ISTOCK

IN THE SPRING, Business Report sent out announcements and emails to all companies on our recent Top 100 lists, as well as to those identified as possible qualifiers and those suggested by readers. We also placed notices on our websites, asking companies to post their information or submit it to us.

We followed up with emails, phone calls and research to confirm the data. In some cases we looked at related industry performance reports and other business compilations to estimate revenue.

Some companies declined to reveal their numbers, so we relied on public information and sources to make reasonable estimates. Those companies are denoted in the list’s footnotes.

Companies were ranked according to their reported or estimated revenue for the most recently completed fiscal year, which in most cases was the calendar year 2020.

A ROLLER COASTER YEAR

ISTOCK

WHILE THE TOP five remained the same, there was plenty of movement elsewhere in this year’s ranking of the Top 100 private companies—much of it related to the pandemic as well as an increase in severe weather.

The number of Top 100 companies sustaining year-over-year revenue declines (54) was greater than those who posted revenue growth (45), and the collective tally of this year’s class was $25.2 billion, a decline of 1.9% from last year’s list.

Reshuffling was the order of business for the list’s second five, with one company dropping out of the top 10 and Lipsey’s LLC shooting its way to No. 6, from 14th, on this year’s list with 66% year-over revenue growth. Six top 10 companies saw revenues decline while four posted gains.

Mother Nature’s wrath was especially hostile last year and that’s reflected on the list by the two largest revenue gainers—No. 49 Guarantee Restoration Services (356.9%) and No. 58 Dynamic Construction Group LLC (1,273.4%)—doing business in the disaster recovery sector.

…OR IN SOME cases welcome back. No question, the impact of the pandemic—and related mitigation efforts—can be seen throughout this year’s Top 100, where seven companies are either rejoining the list or making their first appearance. Also clear is that landing government contracts leads to some big paydays and—given our more extreme weather—so, too, does working in disaster recovery and management. Then, of course, there are those newcomers that went the more traditional route of simply growing their business.
