Current report

General Risk Factors

Current report

We cannot guarantee the timing, amount, or payment of dividends on our common stock or that we will repurchase our common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase program.

Current report

The timing, declaration, amount, and payment of future dividends to our shareholders falls within the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Board of Director’s decisions regarding the payment of future dividends will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, covenants related to our debt service obligations, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, access to the capital markets, and other factors that it deems relevant. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to pay any dividend in the future. Furthermore, although our Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program, we are not obligated to make any purchases under the program, and it may be discontinued at any time.

General Risk Factor
Reworded paragraphs (14)

Previous wording

If we are unable to accurately estimate contract risks; revenue or costs; economic factors such as inflation and tariffs; the timing of new awards; or the pace of project execution we may incur a loss or achieve lower than anticipated profit.

Current wording

If we are unable to accurately estimate contract risks, revenue or costs, we may incur a loss or achieve lower than anticipated profit.

Previous wording

Accounting for contract-related revenue and costs requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that may change substantially throughout the project lifecycle, which has previously resulted, and in the future could result, in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In addition, cost overruns, including unanticipated cost increases on fixed price contracts and guaranteed maximum price contracts, have previously resulted, and in the future may result, in lower profits or losses. Economic factors, including inflation and tariffs, have also previously subjected us, and could in the future subject us, to higher costs, which we may not be able to fully recover in future projects that we are bidding, and may also decrease profit on our existing contracts, in particular with respect to our fixed price, unit price and guaranteed maximum price contracts. Changes in laws, policies or regulations, including tariffs and taxes, such as the recently announced Trump administration tariffs, have previously impacted, and in the future could impact, the prices for materials or equipment. Further, our results of operations have historically fluctuated, and may continue to fluctuate, quarterly and annually depending on when new awards occur and the commencement and progress of work on projects already awarded.

Previous wording

The level of federal, state and local government spending for infrastructure and other public projects could adversely affect the number of projects available to us in the future.

Current wording

Decreases or delays in the level of federal, state and local government spending for infrastructure and other public projects could adversely affect the number of projects available to us in the future.

Previous wording

We rely on computer, information and communication technology and other related systems, some of which are hosted by third-party providers, for various business processes and activities, including project management, accounting, financial reporting and business development. These systems are subject to interruptions or damage by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, cyber-attacks, natural disasters, power loss, telecommunications failures, acts of war, computer viruses, email phishing, obsolescence and physical damage. Such interruptions can result in a loss of critical data, a delay in operations, damage to our reputation or an unintentional disclosure of customer confidential or personally identifiable information, any of which could have a material adverse impact on us and our consolidated financial statements.

These systems are subject to interruptions or damage by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, cyber-attacks, natural disasters, power loss, telecommunications failures, acts of war, computer viruses, email phishing, obsolescence and physical damage. Additionally, the increased prevalence and use of artificial intelligence may heighten the risk that we may be subject to cybersecurity incidents in the future. Such interruptions can result in a loss of critical data, a delay in operations, damage to our reputation or an unintentional disclosure of customer confidential or personally identifiable information, any of which could have a material adverse impact on us and our consolidated financial statements.

Previous wording

The execution of our business strategies also substantially depends on our ability to retain several key members of our management. Losing any of these individuals could adversely affect our business. The majority of these key individuals are not bound by employment agreements. Volatility or lack of positive performance in our stock price may adversely affect our ability to retain key individuals to whom we have provided share-based compensation. We have experienced changes in senior management in the past. Our long-time Chairman and CEO transitioned to the role of Executive Chairman, and we have a new CEO, both effective as of January 1, 2025. Changes in management, including as a result of succession or voluntary or involuntary termination, including as a result of retirement, death or disability, could adversely affect our business and financial results, particularly if we are not able to identify, engage, and retain qualified successors or if our business, customers, or employees do not respond positively to such changes.

Previous wording

We are subject to risks related to government contracts and related procurement regulations.

Current wording

We are subject to risks related to government contracts (including government shutdowns and funding considerations) and related procurement regulations.

Previous wording

Our contracts with U.S. federal, as well as state, local and foreign, government entities are subject to various procurement regulations and other requirements relating to their formation, administration and performance. We are subject to audits and investigations relating to our government contracts, and any violations could result in various civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contract, refunding or suspending of payments, forfeiture of profits, payment of fines and suspension or debarment from future government business. In addition, most of these contracts provide for termination or renegotiation by the government at any time, without cause, which could have an adverse effect on our business and operations. The percentage of our business coming from government entities has continued to increase in recent years, and as of December 31, 2024 accounted for 85% of our backlog. As a result, the risks of adverse consequences related to government contracting and procurement are increasingly fundamental to our business.

In addition, most of these contracts provide for termination or renegotiation by the government at any time, without cause, which could have an adverse effect on our business and operations. There have also recently been, and there may in the future be, occasions when even previously authorized and committed funding is withheld by the government, which could temporarily delay the progress of certain projects or the awards of new projects. The percentage of our business coming from government entities has continued to increase in recent years, and as of December 31, 2025 accounted for 86% of our backlog. As a result, the risks of adverse consequences related to government contracting and procurement are increasingly fundamental to our business.

Previous wording

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we derived $583.4 million, or 13%, of revenue from our work on projects located outside of the United States. Our international operations expose us to risks inherent in doing business in regions outside the United States, including political risks; risks of loss due to acts of war; unstable economic, financial and market conditions; potential incompatibility with foreign subcontractors and vendors; foreign currency controls and fluctuations; trade restrictions; economic and trade sanctions; logistical challenges; variations in taxes; and changes in labor conditions, labor strikes and difficulties in staffing and managing international operations. Failure to successfully manage risks associated with our international operations could result in higher operating costs than anticipated or could delay or limit our ability to generate revenue and income from construction operations in key international markets.

Current wording

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we derived $489.7 million, or 9%, of revenue from our work on projects in international locations, including U.S. territories. Our international operations expose us to risks inherent in doing business in regions outside the United States, including political risks; risks of loss due to acts of war; unstable economic, financial and market conditions; potential incompatibility with foreign subcontractors and vendors; foreign currency controls and fluctuations; trade restrictions; economic and trade sanctions; logistical challenges; variations in taxes; and changes in labor conditions, labor strikes and difficulties in staffing and managing international operations. Failure to successfully manage risks associated with our international operations could result in higher operating costs than anticipated or could delay or limit our ability to generate revenue and income from construction operations in key international markets.

Previous wording

We may not fully realize the revenue value reported in our backlog due to cancellations or reductions in scope.

Current wording

We may not fully realize the revenue value reported in our backlog due to cancellations or reductions in scope, including as a result of government-related mandates.

Previous wording

As of December 31, 2024, our backlog of uncompleted construction work was approximately $18.7 billion. The revenue currently projected in our backlog may not be fully realized and, if realized, may not result in profits or may be less profitable than expected. The cancellation or reduction in scope of significant projects included in our backlog could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Current wording

As of December 31, 2025, our backlog of uncompleted construction work was approximately $20.6 billion. The revenue currently projected in our backlog may not be fully realized and, if realized, may not result in profits or may be less profitable than expected. The cancellation or reduction in scope of significant projects included in our backlog could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Previous wording

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness with restrictive covenants which could adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our debt agreements, especially in a high interest rate environment.

Current wording

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness with restrictive covenants which could adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our debt agreements.

Previous wording

We currently have, and expect to continue to have, a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2024, our total debt was $534.1 million, with $24.1 million classified as current debt. A significant amount of debt under our credit agreement contains financial covenants, including one covenant to maintain a maximum First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement (as defined below)), which has required us to obtain two amendments, the First Amendment, dated as of October 31, 2022 and the Second Amendment, dated as of March 10, 2023, to the 2020 Credit Agreement in order to remain in compliance with this covenant. There is a risk that we may need to seek further amendments to this covenant or other covenants in the future should our operating results or financial condition differ materially from our projections. If we are unable to meet the terms of the financial covenants or fail to comply with any of the other restrictions contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness, an event of default could occur, causing the debt related to such agreements to become immediately due. If such acceleration occurs, we may not be able to repay such indebtedness as required. Since indebtedness under our credit agreement entered into on August 18, 2020 (as amended, the “2020 Credit Agreement”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer and other lenders is secured by substantially all of our assets, acceleration of this debt could result in foreclosure of those assets and a negative impact on our operations. In addition, a failure to meet the terms of our 2020 Credit Agreement could result in a reduction of future borrowing capacity or additional restrictions under the 2020 Credit Agreement that could negatively impact our liquidity and financial condition. A loss of liquidity could adversely impact our ability to execute projects in our backlog, obtain new projects, engage subcontractors, and attract and retain key employees. Furthermore, we had approximately $127.6 million of outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2024 with variable interest rates. Higher market interest rates could also negatively impact our liquidity and financial condition.

Current wording

We currently have, and expect to continue to have, a substantial amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2025, our total debt was $407.4 million, with $14.6 million classified as current debt. A significant amount of debt under our credit agreement contains financial covenants, including one covenant to maintain a maximum First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement (as defined below)), which has required us to obtain two amendments, the First Amendment, dated as of October 31, 2022 and the Second Amendment, dated as of March 10, 2023, to the 2020 Credit Agreement in order to remain in compliance with this covenant. There is a risk that we may need to seek further amendments to this covenant or other covenants in the future should our operating results or financial condition differ materially from our projections.

A loss of liquidity could adversely impact our ability to execute projects in our backlog, obtain new projects, engage subcontractors, and attract and retain key employees.

Previous wording

Our executive chairman, Ronald N. Tutor, and three trusts he controls (the “Tutor Group”) own approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of December 31, 2024. Additionally, one of our current directors was appointed by Mr. Tutor pursuant to Mr. Tutor’s right to nominate one member to our Board of Directors, so long as the Tutor Group owns at least 11.25% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, Mr. Tutor could exert influence over the outcome of a range of corporate matters, including the election of directors and the approval or rejection of other extraordinary transactions, such as a takeover attempt or sale of the Company or its assets.
