Current report
In the third quarter of 2026, the Company settled its obligations under its defined benefit pension plan to eliminate future cash contributions and associated ongoing administrative expenses. This resulted in a one-time non-cash charge of $33.8 million ($0.40 per diluted share, after tax) primarily related to the accelerated recognition of unamortized net actuarial losses, which would otherwise have been recognized in future periods.
Current report
(b)The amount represents a $35.6 million cash redemption premium and $15.8 million of non-cash expense related to the acceleration of previously unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs as a result of the redemption of the Company’s 2024 Senior Notes in the third quarter of 2026. Refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the Company’s debt.
Current report
(c)The amount represents a non-cash charge incurred resulting from the settlement of obligations under the Company’s pension plan during the third quarter of 2026. Refer to Note 14 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the Company’s pension plan.
Current report
New awards and contract adjustments in the Building segment totaled $720.2 million and $1.4 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $1.4 billion and $2.2 billion for the same periods in 2025. The most significant new awards and contract adjustments in the third quarter of 2026 included several federal government projects that totaled $577 million and $108 million of additional funding for a hospitality and gaming project in Oklahoma. Notably, the third-quarter and nine-month periods of 2025 included the award of the $960 million UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital project in California.
Current report
New awards and contract adjustments in the Specialty Contractors segment totaled $426.0 million and $857.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $464.7 million and $1.0 billion for the same periods in 2025. New awards and contract adjustments for the third quarter of 2026 include the Specialty Contractors segment’s electrical and mechanical scope of work booked as part of the additional work for the Civil segment project discussed above.
Current report
As a result of the Company’s increasing net cash position, restricted investments, and successful debt refinancing, beginning in the third quarter of 2026, the Company’s interest income exceeded its interest expense. The Company anticipates this trend will continue.
Current report
Loss on extinguishment of debt of $51.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was the result of the redemption of the 2024 Senior Notes on July 2, 2026, as discussed further in Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
Current report
The pension settlement charge of $33.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was the result of a one-time non-cash expense primarily related to the accelerated recognition of unamortized net actuarial losses associated with the settlement of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan obligations in the third quarter of 2026, which would otherwise have been recognized in future periods. The settlement also eliminated future cash contributions and associated ongoing administrative expenses.
Current report
Cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months of 2026 increased $90.7 million compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in cash flow from operating activities for the first nine months of 2026 compared to 2025 was primarily due to the record earnings in 2026. The record cash flow and strong earnings growth in 2026 demonstrate the robust cash generation and earnings potential embedded in the Company’s high-quality backlog. The Company anticipates continued strong cash generation as current projects progress and new projects are awarded.

Previous report
Income from construction operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was a record $176.9 million, up 24.8% compared to $141.8 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by contributions associated with the increased project execution activities discussed above.
Previous report
New awards and contract adjustments in the Building segment totaled $350.5 million and $702.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $664.0 million and $806.1 million for the same periods in 2025. The most significant new awards and contract adjustments in the second quarter of 2026 included two military facility projects in Alaska collectively valued at $143 million and a $114 million education facility project in Mississippi.
Previous report
New awards and contract adjustments in the Specialty Contractors segment totaled $309.8 million and $431.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $181.0 million and $547.7 million for the same periods in 2025. The most significant new awards and contract adjustments in the second quarter of 2026 included $130 million of additional funding for a healthcare facility project in Texas.
Previous report
Cash flow from operating activities for the first six months of 2026 increased $48.9 million compared to the same period in 2025. The increase in cash flow from operating activities for the first six months of 2026 compared to 2025 primarily reflects a larger decrease in net project working capital in the current period compared to the prior-year period, as well as higher cash provided by earnings sources in the 2026 period. The decrease in net project working capital in the 2026 period was primarily due to current-year decreases in accounts receivable and other current assets compared to increases last year, partially offset by a smaller current-year increase in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings compared to the prior-year period and a slight increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings in the current-year period compared to a decrease last year.
Previous report
Borrowings under the 2020 Credit Agreement bore interest at variable rates, which have increased since the latter part of 2022 due to changes in market conditions that resulted in increases in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and the administrative agent’s prime lending rate. The Company had no borrowings under the Revolver during the six months ended June 30, 2026. At June 30, 2026, the borrowing rate on the Revolver was 10.0%.

Consolidated revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.6 billion and $3.0 billion, up 19.2% and 15.5% respectively, compared to $1.4 billion and $2.6 billion for the same periods in 2025. The Company's revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was the highest of any quarter ever, and revenue for the first six months of 2026 also set a new record for the first half of any year. The Civil segment's revenue also set records for these same periods. The Company experienced strong growth across all three segments in the second quarter and through the first six months of 2026 compared to the same periods last year, primarily driven by increased project execution activities on certain newer, larger and higher-margin projects that have significant scope of work remaining. These projects are in the early stages and are expected to ramp up substantially over the next few years.
Current wording
Consolidated revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $1.7 billion and $4.7 billion, up 21.5% and 17.6%, respectively, compared to $1.4 billion and $4.0 billion for the same periods in 2025. The Company's revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was the highest of any quarter ever, and revenue for the first nine months of 2026 also set a new record for the first nine months of any year. The Civil segment's revenue also set records for these same periods. The Company experienced strong double-digit growth across all three segments in the third quarter and through the first nine months of 2026 compared to the same periods last year, primarily driven by increased project execution activities on certain newer, larger and higher-margin projects that have significant scope of work remaining.
Previous wording
Income from construction operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was a record $117.7 million, up 54.0% compared to $76.4 million for the same period in 2025, and the highest result of any quarter ever. The substantial increase was primarily driven by contributions associated with the increased project execution activities discussed above, as well as a significant decrease of $27.5 million in share-based compensation expense compared to the same period of 2025. The decrease in share-based compensation expense was primarily due to the absence of certain liability-classified awards that vested at the end of 2025.
Current wording
Income from construction operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $125.4 million and $302.3 million, up 212.8% and 66.3%, respectively, compared to $40.1 million and $181.8 million for the same periods in 2025. Income from construction operations for the third quarter of 2026 was the highest result of any quarter in the Company’s history, and the result for the first nine months of 2026 also set a new record for the first nine months of any year. The Civil segment's income from construction operations also set records for these same periods. The substantial increase for both periods of 2026 was primarily driven by contributions associated with the increased project execution activities discussed above. Both periods of 2026 were also positively impacted by a significant decrease in share-based compensation expense of $39.5 million and $43.5 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The decrease in share-based compensation expense for both periods of 2026 was primarily due to the absence of certain liability-classified awards that vested at the end of 2025.
Previous wording
Income tax expense was $30.8 million and $47.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $22.0 million and $34.9 million for the same periods in 2025. See Corporate, Tax and Other Matters below for a discussion of the change in the effective tax rate.
Current wording
Income tax expense was $11.1 million and $58.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $15.2 million and $50.0 million for the same periods in 2025. See Corporate, Tax and Other Matters below for a discussion of the change in the effective tax rate.
Previous wording
Diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.23 and $1.71, respectively, compared to $0.38 and $0.90 for the same periods in 2025. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes share-based compensation expense (and the associated tax benefit), for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.74 and $2.77, respectively, compared to $1.41 and $2.06 for the same periods in 2025. The strong increase in diluted earnings per common share for both periods was primarily due to the factors discussed above that resulted in the change in income from construction operations. The strong increase in adjusted diluted earnings per common share reflects the same factors discussed above, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for further information and a reconciliation of the Company's financial results reported under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) to the reported adjusted results.
Current wording
Diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $0.39 and $2.09, respectively, compared to $0.07 and $0.97 for the same periods in 2025. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes share-based compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and pension settlement charges (and the associated tax benefits of these adjustments), for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $1.83 and $4.59, respectively, compared to $1.15 and $3.22 for the same periods in 2025. The strong increase in diluted earnings per common share for both periods was primarily due to the factors discussed above that drove the record-setting income from construction operations in 2026. The strong increase in adjusted diluted earnings per common share reflects the same factors discussed above, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, and pension settlement charges. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for further information and a reconciliation of the Company's financial results reported under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) to the reported adjusted results.
Previous wording
As discussed further in Liquidity and Capital Resources below, as of July 2, 2026, the Company completed the refinancing of its senior notes and entered into an amendment and restatement of its existing revolving credit facility, which, among other things, extended debt maturities, is expected to significantly reduce future interest expense, more than doubles the size of its available revolving credit facility and provides for meaningfully improved terms.

As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a one-time loss on extinguishment of debt of $51.4 million ($0.70 per diluted share, after tax) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, which consisted of a $35.6 million cash redemption premium and $15.8 million of non-cash expense related to the acceleration of previously unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs.
Previous wording
Consolidated new awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $1.7 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, compared to $3.1 billion and $5.0 billion for the same periods in 2025. The decrease was merely due to the timing of project awards, as the Company continues to see strong customer demand and a robust pipeline of bidding opportunities across its end markets. The Civil segment was the primary contributor to the new awards activity in the second quarter of 2026. The most significant new awards and contract adjustments in the second quarter of 2026 included a $652 million military facilities project in Guam; two military facility projects in Alaska collectively valued at $143 million; $130 million of additional funding for a healthcare facility project in Texas; a $114 million education facility project in Mississippi; and a $106 million bridge project in Minnesota. The Company has been successful in winning its share of major new project opportunities over the past several years due to a combination of its strategic bidding approach and favorable market dynamics, including limited competition in select markets for some of the larger projects. This environment, which is supported by strong public funding and demand, has allowed the Company to differentiate itself and deliver compelling proposals that align with the customer’s goals and expectations. The Company expects that this environment will continue for the foreseeable future.
Current wording
Consolidated new awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 totaled $2.2 billion and $4.5 billion, respectively, compared to $2.0 billion and $7.0 billion for the same periods in 2025. The decrease for the nine-month period of 2026 primarily reflects an unusually strong period of major project lettings and successful awards in the comparable 2025 period, together with fewer significant opportunities reaching the award stage in 2026. Importantly, the Company's overall pipeline of prospective opportunities has continued to expand substantially. The Company expects a significant number of large opportunities to bid in 2027, all of which are well aligned with the Company's disciplined bidding strategy and preferred contractual and margin characteristics. All three segments were significant contributors to the new awards activity in the third quarter of 2026. The most significant new awards and contract adjustments in the third quarter of 2026 included $1.0 billion of additional work for a Civil segment project (which includes a substantial amount of electrical and mechanical scope of work that is expected to be performed by the Specialty Contractors segment); several Building segment federal government projects that totaled $577 million; $145 million of new awards and additional funding for various military facility projects in the Indo-Pacific region; various bridge projects in the Midwest that totaled $126 million; $108 million of additional funding for a hospitality and gaming project in Oklahoma; and $89 million of additional funding for several mass-transit projects in California. The Company has been successful in winning its share of major new project opportunities over the past several years due to a combination of its strategic bidding approach and favorable market dynamics, including limited competition in select markets for some of the larger projects. This environment, which is reflected by a bidding pipeline of more than $200 billion over the next several years and supported by strong public funding and demand, has allowed the Company to differentiate itself and deliver compelling proposals that align with the customer’s goals and expectations. The Company expects that this environment will continue for the foreseeable future.

Consolidated backlog as of June 30, 2026 was $19.9 billion, up slightly compared to $19.8 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2026, and down 6% compared to $21.1 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2026, the mix of backlog by segment was approximately 50% for Civil, 35% for Building and 15% for Specialty Contractors.

Consolidated backlog as of September 30, 2026 was $20.4 billion, up compared to $19.9 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2026, and down 6% compared to $21.6 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2025. As of September 30, 2026, the mix of backlog by segment was approximately 49% for Civil, 35% for Building and 16% for Specialty Contractors. The quality of the Company’s backlog remains exceptional and includes several higher-margin, long-duration projects with favorable contractual terms and substantial scope of work remaining.
Previous wording
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was enacted into law in November 2021 and provided for $1.2 trillion of federal infrastructure funding, including $550 billion in new spending for improvements to the country’s surface-transportation network and enhancements to core infrastructure. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law initiated the largest federal investment in public transit ever, the single largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system and the largest federal investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak, all in addition to providing for regular annual spending for numerous infrastructure projects. This significant incremental funding is anticipated to be spent over the 10 years from its enactment through 2031, and much of it is allocated for investment in end markets that are directly aligned with our market focus. Accordingly, we believe that this significant funding has benefited, and will continue to favorably impact, our current work and prospective opportunities over the next several years. While the current funding window for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law closes on September 30, 2026, we believe that Congress recognizes the long-term nature of infrastructure projects. Congress is currently engaged in the legislative process to secure future funding beyond that date through the BUILD America 250 Act (H.R. 8870), a major $580 billion bipartisan surface transportation reauthorization bill. The final amount and composition of future funding from this bill is yet to be determined. Overall, our major projects are less reliant on federal funding provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (and its successors) than on the more substantial state and local funding that has historically supported, and is expected to continue supporting, such projects. In addition, various existing projects and future project opportunities in Guam and the Indo-Pacific region are being funded by the U.S. government’s Pacific Deterrence Initiative, which provides substantial multi-year funding to support significant improvements that enhance the U.S. military’s infrastructure and readiness. Finally, there are various large infrastructure projects across the U.S. for which future funding may be provided, in part or entirely, through public-private partnership (P3) arrangements, which would include mostly private capital investments.

Although the funding window for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law closed on September 30, 2026, Congress has temporarily extended surface transportation program authorizations under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law through December 11, 2026, to provide additional time to negotiate full-year appropriations. We believe that Congress recognizes the long-term nature of infrastructure projects and is currently engaged in the legislative process to secure future funding through the BUILD America 250 Act (H.R. 8870), a major $580 billion bipartisan surface transportation reauthorization bill.

To supplement our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented under GAAP, we are presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not reflective of ongoing business operations, including share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (as well as the associated tax benefit), and for the second half of 2026, adjustments will also include certain pension settlement, debt extinguishment and refinancing costs (as well as the associated tax impacts). These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional insights that facilitate the comparison of our past and present performance, and they are among the indicators management uses to assess the Company’s financial performance and to forecast future performance. By presenting these non-GAAP financial measures, we aim to provide investors and stakeholders with a clearer understanding of our operating results and enhance transparency with respect to the key financial metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

These non-GAAP financial measures consist of adjusted net income attributable to the Company and adjusted diluted earnings per share. We exclude share-based compensation expense because this expense could result in significant volatility in our reported earnings, driven primarily by fluctuations in the expense recognized for certain long-term incentive compensation awards with payouts that are indexed to the Company’s common stock. By adjusting for share-based compensation, our non-GAAP measures present a supplemental depiction of our operational performance and financial health. This approach allows stakeholders to focus on our core operational efficiency and profitability without the variable impact to earnings caused by significant changes in our stock price. Our non-GAAP measures are intended to offer a consistent basis for evaluating the Company’s performance, which management believes is meaningful to stakeholders.

Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 set all-time records for each respective period and increased 11.2% and 12.6%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. For both periods of 2026, the growth was primarily due to increased project execution activities on two large mass-transit projects and a tunneling project in the Northeast, all of which have substantial scope of work remaining.
Current wording
Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased 16.0% and 13.9%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. Revenue for the third quarter of 2026 set a record as the highest result of any quarter ever, and revenue for the first nine months of 2026 also set a record as the highest result of any comparable period. For both periods of 2026, the growth was primarily due to increased project execution activities on several large projects in the Northeast and the Indo-Pacific region, all of which have substantial scope of work remaining.
Previous wording
Income from construction operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $124.5 million compared to $140.1 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease for the second quarter of 2026 was primarily due to the absence of a prior-year favorable adjustment of $28.0 million related to the settlement of certain change orders, as well as changes in estimates due to improved performance on a mass-transit project in the Midwest. The decrease was mostly offset by contributions associated with the increased current-year project execution activities discussed above.
Current wording
Income from construction operations for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $125.2 million, the highest result of any third quarter ever, compared to $99.2 million for the same period in 2025. The increase for the third quarter of 2026 was primarily due to contributions associated with the increased current-year project execution activities discussed above.
Previous wording
Income from construction operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was $212.3 million compared to $219.7 million for the same period in 2025. The six-month period of 2026 was impacted by the same factors discussed above for the second quarter of 2026, including strong contributions associated with the aforementioned increased project execution activities. The first six months of 2026 was also impacted by an unfavorable adjustment of $16.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 on a mass-transit project in California, primarily due to changes in estimates resulting from ongoing negotiations of change orders with the owner and subcontractors, as well as other temporary impacts related to unapproved change orders.
Current wording
Income from construction operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $337.5 million, the highest result of the first nine-month period of any year, compared to $318.9 million for the same period in 2025. The increase for the nine-month period of 2026 was primarily due to strong contributions associated with the aforementioned increased project execution activities. The improvement for the first nine months of 2026 was partially offset by an unfavorable adjustment of $16.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 on a mass-transit project in California, primarily due to changes in estimates resulting from ongoing negotiations of change orders with the owner and subcontractors, as well as other temporary impacts related to unapproved change orders. Subsequently, the change orders with the owner were successfully negotiated and are expected to result in significant future cash collections in the near term. The increase was also partially offset by the absence of a prior-year favorable adjustment of $28.0 million related to the settlement of certain change orders, as well as changes in estimates due to improved performance on a mass-transit project in the Midwest.

Corporate general and administrative expenses were $41.7 million and $87.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $68.1 million and $85.7 million for the same periods in 2025. The decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 2025 was primarily due to lower share-based compensation expense. The decrease in share-based compensation expense was primarily driven by the absence of certain liability-classified awards that vested at the end of 2025. Liability-classified awards are remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company currently projects a decrease in share-based compensation expense over the remainder of 2026 as compared to 2025, and a much more significant decrease in 2027 as certain such awards have vested and most of the remaining liability-classified awards will vest by the end of 2026. After the Company’s shareholders approved additional shares under the Plan in May 2025, the Company stopped awarding liability-classified, long-term incentive compensation awards, which will help to reduce future earnings volatility.

We believe that cash generated from operations, along with our unused credit capacity and available cash balances as of June 30, 2026, will be sufficient to fund working capital needs, dividends, share repurchases, and debt maturities for the next 12 months and beyond. We generated a record amount of operating cash in the first six months of 2026, as discussed below in Cash and Working Capital. We expect strong operating cash flow to continue in the second half of 2026 and beyond, both from project execution activities and the resolution of outstanding claims and change orders. In addition, over the next two years we expect to continue to benefit from the utilization of available net operating loss carryforwards to reduce our cash outflows for income taxes. We also explore repayments or refinancings of our outstanding indebtedness and share repurchases from time to time based on our cash needs, credit strength and market conditions.
