We perform a majority of our services under master service agreements and other contracts that contain customer-specified service requirements. These agreements include discrete pricing for individual tasks. We generally possess multiple agreements with each of our significant customers. To the extent that such agreements specify exclusivity, there are often exceptions, including the ability of the customer to issue work orders valued above a specified dollar amount to other service providers, the performance of work with the customer’s own employees, and the use of other service providers when jointly placing facilities with another utility. In many cases, a customer may terminate an agreement for convenience. Historically, multi-year master service agreements have been awarded primarily through a competitive bidding process; however, occasionally we are able to negotiate extensions to these agreements. We provide the remainder of our services pursuant to contracts for specific projects. These contracts may be long-term (with terms greater than one year) or short-term (with terms less than one year) and at times include retainage provisions under which the customer may withhold 5% to 10% of the invoiced amounts pending project completion and closeout. Contract revenues from multi-year master service agreements and other long-term contracts, as a percentage of contract revenues, was 95.5% and 92.5% for the three months ended May 2, 2026 and April 26, 2025

For certain contracts, representing 22% and 1%, respectively, of contract revenues during each of the three months ended May 2, 2026 and April 26, 2025, we use the cost-to-cost measure of progress. These contracts are generally projects that are completed over a period of less than twelve months. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress toward completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs. Contract costs include direct labor, direct materials, and subcontractor costs, as well as an allocation of indirect costs. Contract revenues are recorded as costs are incurred. We accrue the entire amount of a contract loss, if any, at the time the loss is determined to be probable and can be reasonably estimated. Our estimates of total contract revenue and total contract costs are subject to ongoing evaluation and revision throughout the life of the contract. Changes in these estimates can result in the recognition of revenue in a current period for performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods. Conversely, revisions may result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue if the currently estimated total revenue is less than the previous estimate, or if estimated total contract costs increase. During the three months ended May 2, 2026 and April 26, 2025, the net impact of such changes in estimates on our recognized revenue was not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. There were no material amounts of unapproved change orders included in revenue during the three months ended May 2, 2026 and April 26, 2025.

Sources of Cash. Our sources of cash are operating activities, long-term debt, equity offerings, bank borrowings, proceeds from the sale of idle and surplus equipment and real property, and stock option proceeds. Cash flow from operations is primarily influenced by demand for our services and operating margins, but can also be influenced by working capital needs associated with the services that we provide. In particular, working capital needs may increase when we have growth in operations and where project costs, primarily associated with labor, subcontractors, equipment, and materials, are required to be paid before the related customer balances owed to us are invoiced and collected. Our working capital (total current assets less total current liabilities, excluding the current portion of debt) was $1,827.0 million as of May 2, 2026 compared to $1,754.0 million as of January 31, 2026.

Our sources of cash are operating activities, long-term debt, equity offerings, bank borrowings, proceeds from the sale of idle and surplus equipment and real property, and stock option proceeds. Cash flow from operations is primarily influenced by demand for our services and operating margins, but can also be influenced by working capital needs associated with the services that we provide. In particular, working capital needs may increase when we have growth in operations and where project costs, primarily associated with labor, subcontractors, equipment, and materials, are required to be paid before the related customer balances owed to us are invoiced and collected. Our working capital (total current assets less total current liabilities, excluding the current portion of debt) was $1,780.8 million as of August 1, 2026 compared to $1,754.0 million as of January 31, 2026.
