Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
| 1. | ORGANIZATION: |
NWPX Infrastructure, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a leading manufacturer of water-related infrastructure products, and operates intwo segments, Water Transmission Systems (“WTS”), operating as the Northwest Pipe Company brand, and Precast Infrastructure and Engineered Systems (“Precast”), which includes the brands NWPX Geneva and NWPX Park. This segment presentation is consistent with how the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), its Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of the Company and makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources. See Note18, “Segment Information” for detailed descriptions of these segments.
Under the Northwest Pipe Company brand, the Company is the largest manufacturer of engineered water transmission systems in North America and produces steel casing pipe, bar-wrapped concrete cylinder pipe, and pipeline system joints and fittings. The Company also provides solution-based products for a wide range of markets including high-quality reinforced precast concrete products, lined precast sanitary sewer system structures, water distribution and management equipment including pump lift stations, wastewater pretreatment, and stormwater quality products. The Company has broadened its manufacturing footprint by bringing lined and engineered precast products into production at additional facilities. This increases the Company’s capacity and improves regional availability. Strategically positioned to meet growing water and wastewater infrastructure needs, the Company’s skilled team is committed to quality and innovation while upholding its core values of accountability, commitment, and teamwork. Headquartered in Vancouver, Washington, the Company operates 13 manufacturing facilities across North America.
Company Name
The Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the corporate name of the Company from Northwest Pipe Company to NWPX Infrastructure, Inc. at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on* June**12,* 2025. That same day, the Company effectuated the name change by filing an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation with the Oregon Secretary of State and amended and restated its Bylaws to reflect the name change.
At the same time, the Company renamedone of itstwo operating segments. The segment previously referred to as “Engineered Steel Pressure Pipe (SPP)” has been renamed “Water Transmission Systems (WTS)” to better reflect the value contribution specifically from the business unit’s capabilities in engineering, production execution, and delivery of critical integrated water pipeline systems. The “Precast Infrastructure and Engineered Systems (Precast)” segment name remains unchanged. This change in naming convention doesnot affect the composition of the segments or the basis of segment reporting, as there have beenno changes to how the CODM manages or evaluates performance.
| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: |
Basis of Consolidation and Presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in United States Dollars and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control as of the financial statement date. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts from the prior year financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications hadno effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
F-9
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates all of its estimates, including those related to business combinations, allowance for credit losses, inventories, property and equipment (including depreciation and valuation), goodwill, intangible assets (including amortization), revenue recognition, share-based compensation, income taxes, and litigation and other contingencies. Actual results* may*differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term, highly-liquid investments with maturities ofthree months or less when purchased. At times, the Company will have outstanding checks in excess of related bank balances (“book overdraft”). If this occurs, the amount of the book overdraft will be reclassified to accounts payable, and changes in the book overdraft will be reflected as a component of operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company had $1.0 million of book overdrafts as of* December31,* 2025 andno book overdrafts as of* December31,* 2024.
Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses
Trade receivables are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company provides an allowance for credit losses to reduce trade receivables to their estimated net realizable value equal to the amount expected to be collected, resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments or from contract disputes. The amount of the allowance for credit losses is based on historical experience, customer specific circumstances, and current economic conditions. The Company will write down or write off a receivable account once the account is deemed uncollectible.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets primarily represent revenue earned over time butnot yet billable based on the terms of the contracts. These amounts will be billed based on the terms of the contracts, which can include certain milestones, partial shipments, or completion of the contracts. Payment terms of amounts billed vary based on the customer but are typically due within30 days of invoicing. Contract liabilities represent advance billings on contracts, typically for purchased steel.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of raw material inventories of steel is either on a specific identification basis or on an average cost basis. The cost of substantially all other raw material inventories, as well as work-in-process and supplies, is either on an average cost basis or at standard cost. The cost of finished goods uses thefirst-in,first-out method of accounting.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, and costs of new equipment and buildings, as well as costs of expansions or refurbishment of existing equipment and buildings, including interest where applicable, are capitalized. Depreciation and amortization are determined by the units of production method for most equipment and by the straight-line method for the remaining assets based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Estimated useful lives by major classes of property and equipment are as follows: Land improvements (15 –30 years); Buildings (20 –40 years); Leasehold improvements (5 –30 years); and Machinery and equipment (3 –30 years). Depreciation expense calculated under the units of production method* maybe less than, equal to, or greater than depreciation expense calculated under the straight-line method due to variances in production levels. Upon disposal, costs and related accumulated depreciation of the assets are removed from the accounts and resulting gains or losses are reflected in operating expenses. The Company leases certain equipment under long-term finance leases, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its useful life or the lease term, ifno* purchase option exists. A finance lease that contains a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised is amortized over its useful life.
F-10
The Company assesses impairment of property and equipment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values of the asset or asset group(s)* may**not* be recoverable. The asset group is the lowest level at which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets or liabilities. The recoverable value of a long-lived asset group is determined by estimating future undiscounted cash flows using assumptions about the expected future operating performance of the Company.
Leases
The Company has entered into various equipment and property leases. Certain lease agreements include renewals and/or purchase options set to expire at various dates, and certain lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company’s lease agreements donot contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term oftwelve months or less arenot recorded on the balance sheet; costs for these leases are recognized as incurred over the lease term. For leases with an initial term greater thantwelve months, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. When the Company’s leases donot provide an implicit rate of return, the Company uses its revolving loan borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. Some of the Company’s lease agreements contain non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in conjunction with an acquisition. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually as of* November**30,* or whenever events occur or circumstances change that indicate goodwill* may*be impaired.
In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicate that it is more-likely-than-not (more than50%) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. When performing a qualitative assessment, the Company evaluates factors such as industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity specific events and changes. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company choosesnot to perform the qualitative assessment, then a quantitative assessment is performed to determine the reporting unit’s fair value. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized for the amount of the excess of the carrying amount over the reporting unit’s fair value,not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, and patents recorded as the result of acquisition activity. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 10 to 21 years.
Workers Compensation
The Company is self-insured and maintains high deductible policies for losses and liabilities associated with workers compensation claims. Losses are accrued based upon the Company’s estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred using historical experience and certain actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry. As of* December**31,* 2025 and2024, workers compensation reserves recorded were $3.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of which $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, were included in Accrued liabilities and $2.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, were included in Other long-term liabilities.
Accrued Liabilities
Accrued liabilities as of* December**31,* 2025 and2024 includes accrued bonus of $11.4 million and $9.6 million, respectively, and accrued vacation of $4.2 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
F-11
Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Consistent with the Company’s strategy for financial risk management, the Company has established a program that utilizes foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps to offset the risks associated with the effects of these exposures. The Company utilizes cash flow hedge accounting treatment for qualifying foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. Instruments that donot qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment are remeasured at fair value on each balance sheet date and resulting gains and losses are recognized in earnings.
Share Repurchases
All shares reacquired in connection with the Company’s share repurchase program are retired and treated as authorized and unissued shares.
Pension Benefits
The Company hadtwo defined benefit pension plans that have been frozen since2001. Until their termination effective* April**30,* 2025, the Company funded these plans to cover current plan costs plus amortization of the unfunded plan liabilities. To record these obligations, management used estimates relating to investment returns, mortality, and discount rates.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The functional currency of the Company, including its Mexican operations, is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at current exchange rates and non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses related to monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at average exchange rates and at historical exchange rates for the revenue and expenses related to non-monetary assets and liabilities.
Transaction gains (losses) from foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of Stockholders’ equity. For the years ended* December**31,* 2025,2024 and2023, net foreign currency transaction gains (losses) of ($0.2) million, ($0.4) million, and $0.4 million, respectively, were recognized in earnings.
Revenue Recognition
WTS revenue for water infrastructure steel pipe products is recognized over time as the manufacturing process progresses because of the Company’s right to payment for work performed to date plus a reasonable profit on cancellations for unique products that haveno alternative use to the Company. Revenue is measured by the costs incurred to date relative to the estimated total direct costs to fulfill each contract. Contract costs include all material, labor, and other direct costs incurred in satisfying the performance obligations. The cost of steel material is recognized as a contract cost when the steel is introduced into the manufacturing process. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract change orders, contract penalty provisions, foreign currency exchange rate movements, changes in raw materials costs, and final contract settlements* may*result in revisions to estimates of revenue, costs, and income, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts, included in Accrued liabilities, are estimated by comparing total estimated contract revenue to the total estimated contract costs and a loss is recognized during the period in which it becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated.
Precast revenue for water infrastructure concrete pipe and precast concrete products is recognized at the time control is transferred to customers which is generally at the time of shipment, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the products. All variable considerations that* may*affect the total transaction price, including contractual discounts, returns, and credits, are included in net sales. Estimates for variable consideration are based on historical experience, anticipated performance, and management’s judgment.
F-12
The Company generally doesnot recognize revenue on a contract until the contract has approval and commitment from both parties, the contract rights and payment terms can be identified, the contract has commercial substance, and its collectability is probable. The Company’s contracts donot contain significant financing.
Share-based Compensation
The Company recognizes the compensation cost of employee and director services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date estimated fair value of the awards. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance share awards (“PSAs”) using the value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Share-based compensation cost is recognized over the period during which the employee or director is required to provide service in exchange for the award and, as forfeitures occur, the associated compensation cost recognized to date is reversed. For awards with performance-based payout conditions, the Company recognizes compensation cost based on the probability of achieving the performance conditions, with changes in expectations recognized as an adjustment to earnings in the period of change. Any recognized compensation cost is reversed if the conditions are ultimatelynot met.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements or income tax returns. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The determination of the provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. The provision for income taxes primarily reflects a combination of income earned and taxed in the various United States federal, state, local, and to a lesser extent, foreign jurisdictions. Jurisdictional tax law changes, increases or decreases in permanent differences between book and tax items, accruals or adjustments of accruals for unrecognized income tax benefits or valuation allowances, and the change in the mix of earnings from these taxing jurisdictions all affect the overall effective income tax rate.
The Company records income tax reserves for federal, state, local, and international exposures relating to periods subject to audit. The development of reserves for these exposures requires judgments about tax issues, potential outcomes and timing, and is a subjective estimate. The Company assesses income tax positions and records income tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting dates. For those income tax positions where it is more-likely-than-not that an income tax benefit will be sustained, the Company has recorded the largest amount of income tax benefit with a greater than50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it isnot more-likely-than-not that an income tax benefit will be sustained,no income tax benefit has been recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments related to the effective portion of cash flow hedges and, until the termination of the Company’s pension plans in2025, unrecognized actuarial gains and losses of the defined benefit pension plans, both net of the related income tax effect.
Net Income per Share
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by giving effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock, including RSUs and PSAs, assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Performance-based PSAs are considered dilutive when the related performance conditions have been met assuming the end of the reporting period represents the end of the performance period. In periods with a net loss, all potential shares of common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as the impact would be antidilutive.
F-13
Net income per basic and diluted weighted-average common share outstanding was calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Net income | $35,411 | $34,206 | $21,072 |
| Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding | 9,774 | 9,916 | 9,991 |
| Effect of potentially dilutive common shares (1) | 163 | 150 | 90 |
| Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding | 9,937 | 10,066 | 10,081 |
| Net income per common share | |||
| Basic | $3.62 | $3.45 | $2.11 |
| Diluted | $3.56 | $3.40 | $2.09 |
| (1) | There were no antidilutive shares for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, or 2023. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables, foreign currency forward contracts, interest rate swaps, and deferred compensation plan assets. Trade receivables generally represent a large number of customers, including municipalities, manufacturers, distributors, and contractors, dispersed across a wide geographic base. As of* December31,* 2025, no customer had a balance in excess of10% of total accounts receivable, andone customer had a balance in excess of10% of total accounts receivable as of* December31,* 2024. Foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps are with a high-quality financial institution. The Company’s deferred compensation plan assets, included in Other assets, are invested in a diversified portfolio of stock and bond mutual funds.
Recent Accounting and Reporting Developments
Accounting Changes
In* December 2023,the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2023‑09, “Income Taxes (Topic740*): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU2023‑09”) which improves the transparency, effectiveness, and comparability of income tax disclosures and allows investors to better assess, in their capital allocation decisions, how an entity’s worldwide operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operation opportunities affect its income tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The Company adopted ASU2023‑09 for its2025 annual reporting and applied ASU2023‑09 retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Standards
In* October 2023,the FASB issued ASUNo.* 2023‑06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU2023‑06”) which incorporates certain Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) disclosure requirements into the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments will be applied prospectively and are effective when the SEC removes the related requirements from Regulations S‑X or S‑K. Any amendments the SEC doesnot remove by* June**30,* 2027 willnot be effective. As the Company is currently subject to Regulations S‑X and S‑K, it doesnot expect a material impact to its consolidated financial statements or disclosures from adoption of this guidance.
In* November 2024,the FASB issued ASUNo.* 2024‑03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic220‑40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU2024‑03”) which requires public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements. ASU2024‑03 is required to be applied prospectively, and will be effective for the Company’s2027 annual reporting and for interim periods beginning in2028. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company doesnot expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, other than additional disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
F-14
In* July 2025,the FASB issued ASUNo.* 2025‑05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU2025‑05”) which provides a practical expedient permitting all entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date donot change for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses. ASU2025‑05 will be adopted prospectively and will be effective for the Company beginning* January**1,* 2026, including interim periods in2026. The Company doesnot expect a material impact to its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows from adoption of this guidance.
In* December 2025,the FASB issued ASUNo.* 2025‑11, “Interim Reporting (Topic270): Narrow-Scope Improvements” (“ASU2025‑11”) which improves the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifies when that guidance is applicable. Under ASU2025‑11, an entity is subject to Topic270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. ASU2025‑11 also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, adds lists to Topic270 of the interim disclosures required by all other Codification topics, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU2025‑11 is effective for the Company beginning* January1,* 2028, including interim periods in2028, and will be early adopted on a prospective basis by the Company on* January1,* 2026. The Company doesnot expect a material impact to its consolidated financial statements or disclosures from adoption of this guidance.

The Amended Credit Agreement will expire, and all obligations outstanding will mature, on* August13,* 2030. The Company* may*prepay outstanding amounts at its discretion without penalty at any time, subject to applicable notice requirements.
F-16
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants, events of default, and indemnification provisions in favor of the Lenders. The negative covenants include restrictions regarding the incurrence of liens and indebtedness, annual capital expenditures, certain investments, acquisitions, and dispositions, and other matters, all subject to certain exceptions. The Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to regularly provide financial information to Wells Fargo and to maintain a consolidated senior leverage rationo greater than 3.00 to1.00 (subject to certain exceptions) and a minimum consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of at least $35 million for thefour consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended. Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company has also agreed that it willnot sell, assign, or otherwise dispose or encumber, any of its owned real property. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants as of* December**31,* 2025.
The Company’s obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by a senior security interest in substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets.
Interest expense from revolving loan borrowings, current debt, long-term debt, and finance leases was $2.6 million, net of amounts capitalized of $0.7 million in2025, $5.7 million, net of amounts capitalized of $1.0 million in2024, and $4.9 million, net of amounts capitalized of $0.5 million in2023.
Line of Credit (Revolving and Swingline Loans)
As of* December31,* 2025 under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company had $0.3 million of outstanding revolving loan borrowings, $1.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, and additional borrowing capacity of approximately $124 million. As of* December31,* 2024 under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company had $24.7 million of outstanding revolving loan borrowings and $1.6 million of outstanding letters of credit. Revolving loans under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at rates related to, at the Company’s option and subject to the provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement, either: (i) Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) Adjusted Daily Simple Secured Overnight Finance Rate (“SOFR”) (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin; or (iii) Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin. The “Applicable Margin” is 0.50% to 2.00%, depending on the Company’s Consolidated Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) and the interest rate option chosen. Interest on outstanding revolving loans is payable monthly in arrears. Swingline loans under the Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. As of* December**31,* 2025 and2024, the weighted-average interest rate for outstanding borrowings was 5.35% and 6.68%, respectively. The Amended Credit Agreement requires the payment of a commitment fee of between 0.20% and 0.25%, based on the amount by which the Revolver Commitment exceeds the average daily balance of outstanding borrowings (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement). Such fee is payable monthly in arrears. The Company is also obligated to pay additional fees customary for credit facilities of this size and type.
| 7. | LONG-TERM DEBT: |
On* October28,* 2024, the Company converted the outstanding balance of the Interim Funding Agreement dated* August2,* 2022 with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc. (“WFEF”), as amended* January23,* 2023, * March15,* 2023, * July21,* 2023, and* November2,* 2023 into a $15 million term loan with WFEF that was used to fund the Company’s new reinforced concrete pipe mill.

| 9. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS: |
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
F-19
The authoritative guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value intothree broad levels. These levels are: Level1 (inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities); Level2 (inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data); and Level3 (inputs are unobservable, with little orno market data that exists, such as internal financial forecasts). The Company is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The following table summarizes information regarding the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
| Total · Level 1 · Level 2 · Level 3 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Financial assets: | ||||||
| Deferred compensation plan | $3,722 | $3,324 | $398 | $ | - | |
| Interest rate swaps | 38 | - | 38 | - | ||
| Total financial assets | $3,760 | $3,324 | $436 | $ | - | |
| Financial liabilities: | ||||||
| Foreign currency forward contracts | $(277) | $ | - | $(277) | $ | - |
| Financial assets: | ||||||
| Deferred compensation plan | $3,784 | $3,282 | $502 | $ | - | |
| Foreign currency forward contracts | 143 | - | 143 | - | ||
| Interest rate swaps | 187 | - | 187 | - | ||

| Interest rate swaps | (88) | - | (88) | - | ||
| Total financial liabilities | $(94) | $ | - | $(94) | $ | - |
The deferred compensation plan assets consist of cash and several publicly traded stock and bond mutual funds, valued using quoted market prices in active markets, classified as Level1 within the fair value hierarchy, as well as guaranteed investment contracts, valued at principal plus interest credited at contract rates, classified as Level2 within the fair value hierarchy. Deferred compensation plan assets are included within Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps are derivatives valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market parameters, such as interest rate yield curves and currency rates, and are classified as Level2 within the fair value hierarchy. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit risk adjustments associated with derivatives utilize Level3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the counterparty or the Company. However, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments arenot significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level2 of the fair value hierarchy. The foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps are presented at their gross fair values. The current portion of foreign currency forward contract and interest rate swap assets are included within Prepaid expenses and other and foreign currency forward contract and interest rate swap liabilities are included within Accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The noncurrent portion of interest rate swap assets are included within Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
F-20
The net carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The net carrying amount of the borrowings on the line of credit approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate based on current market rates. The Company is obligated to repay the carrying value of its long-term debt. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is calculated using interest rates for its existing debt arrangements which are classified as Level2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. As of* December**31,* 2025, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates the carrying value due to its variable interest rate based on current market rates.
| 10. | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES: |
For each derivative entered into in which the Company seeks to obtain cash flow hedge accounting treatment, the Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness. This process includes linking all derivatives to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions and designating the derivatives as cash flow hedges. The Company also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. The effective portion of these hedged items is reflected in Unrealized gain (loss) on cash flow hedges on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. If it is determined that a derivative isnot highly effective, or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company is required to discontinue hedge accounting with respect to that derivative prospectively.
As of* December31,* 2025, the total notional amount of the foreign currency forward contracts was $18.3 million (CAD$25.1 million), and all foreign currency forward contracts were designated as cash flow hedges. As of* December31,* 2024, the total notional amount of the foreign currency forward contracts was $4.5 million (CAD$6.5 million) and $1.1 million (EUR€1.1 million), which included $3.4 million (CAD$4.8 million) and $1.1 million (EUR€1.1 million) of foreign currency forward contractsnot designated as cash flow hedges. As of* December**31,* 2025, the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts mature at various dates through* December 2027* and are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement.
The Company has entered into interest rate swaps which effectively convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt and are designated as cash flow hedges. For thefirst cash flow hedge, which matured in* April 2024,the Company received floating interest payments monthly based on SOFR and paid a fixed rate of 1.941% on the total notional amount. For thesecond* cash flow hedge, beginning* April3,* 2023, the Company receives floating interest payments monthly based on the SOFR Average30 day and pays a fixed rate of 2.96% to the counterparty on the total notional amount of $7.0 million and $10.0 million as of* December31,* 2025 and2024, respectively, which amortizes ratably on a monthly basis tozero by the* April 2028maturity date. For thethird* cash flow hedge, beginning* June30,* 2024, the Company received floating interest payments monthly based on SOFR and paid a fixed rate of 5.10% to the counterparty on the total notional amount of $20.0 million as of* December31,* 2024, which amortized ratably on a monthly basis to $20 million through* December 2024,and matured in June 2025.*

Portland Harbor Superfund Site
In2000, a section of the lower Willamette River known as the Portland Harbor Superfund Site was included on the National Priorities List at the request of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”). While the Company’s Portland, Oregon manufacturing facility doesnot border the Willamette River, an outfall from the facility’s stormwater system drains into a neighboring property’s privately owned stormwater system and slip. Also in2000, the Company was notified by the EPA and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (“ODEQ”) of potential liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). A remedial investigation and feasibility study of the Portland Harbor Superfund Site was directed by a group of 14 potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) known as the Lower Willamette Group, under agreement with the EPA. The EPA finalized the remedial investigation report in2016, and the feasibility study in2016, which identified multiple remedial alternatives. In2017, the EPA issued its Record of Decision (“ROD”) selecting the remedy for cleanup at the Portland Harbor Superfund Site, which it believes will cost approximately $1 billion at net present value and 13 years to complete. These costs are likely to increase given remediation willnot be implemented for several years. In* November 2024,the Company wasone* of approximately 60 PRPs to receive a confidential Special Notice Letter (“SNL”) from the EPA. The EPA expressed its intent is to obtain a commitment from named PRPs of their intent to negotiate towards a Consent Decree that is aligned with the ROD. The Company submitted its response in* May 2025which, like the SNL, is intended to remain confidential. The EPA has commented that it continues to expect settlement negotiations to take approximatelytwo* years, and it hasnot yet determined who is responsible for the costs of cleanup or how the cleanup costs will be allocated among the more than 150 PRPs. Because of the large number of PRPs and the variability in the range of remediation alternatives, the Company is unable to estimate an amount or an amount within a range of costs for its obligation with respect to the Portland Harbor Superfund Site matters, andno liability has been recorded as of the date of this filing.
The Company and the ODEQ have agreed to a monitored natural attenuation work plan designed to provide ongoing monitoring of shallow groundwater objectives established for the Company’s site. Regular testing has confirmed that natural attenuation is an effective form of controlling the release of contaminants into the Willamette River. Any future liabilities or other obligations associated with source control would be derived from observed failure to meet groundwater objectives, which the Company considers unlikely based on the Company’s pattern of successful testing results.
Concurrent with the activities of the EPA and the ODEQ, the Portland Harbor Natural Resources Trustee Council (“Trustees”) sent some or all of the same parties, including the Company, a notice of intent to perform a Natural Resource Damage Assessment (“NRDA”) for the Portland Harbor Superfund Site to determine the nature and extent of natural resource damages under CERCLA Section107. The Trustees for the Portland Harbor Superfund Site consist of representatives from several Northwest Indian Tribes,three federal agencies, andone state agency. The Trustees act independently of the EPA and the ODEQ. The Trustees have encouraged PRPs to voluntarily participate in the funding of their injury assessments and several of those parties have agreed to do so. In2014, the Company agreed to participate in the injury assessment process, which included funding $0.4 million of the assessment. The Company hasnot assumed any additional payment obligations or liabilities with the participation with the NRDA, nor does the Company expect to incur significant future costs in the resolution of the NRDA.
In2017, the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, a Trustee until they withdrew from the council in2009, filed a complaint against the PRPs including the Company to recover costs related to their own injury assessment and compensation for natural resources damages. The case has been stayed, and the Company doesnot have sufficient information at this time to determine the likelihood of a loss in this matter or the amount of damages that could be allocated to the Company.
The Company has insurance policies for defense costs, as well as indemnification policies it believes will provide reimbursement for the remediation assessed. However, the Company can provideno assurance that those policies will cover all of the costs which the Company* may*incur.
F-25
All Sites
The Company operates its facilities under numerous governmental permits and licenses relating to air emissions, stormwater runoff, and other environmental matters. The Company’s operations are also governed by many other laws and regulations, including those relating to workplace safety and worker health, principally the Occupational Safety and Health Act and regulations thereunder which, among other requirements, establish noise and dust standards. The Company believes it is in material compliance with its permits and licenses and these laws and regulations, and the Company doesnot believe that future compliance with such laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Other Contingencies and Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is party to a variety of legal actions, including claims, suits, complaints, and investigations arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The Company maintains insurance coverage against potential claims in amounts that are believed to be adequate. To the extent that insurance doesnot cover legal, defense, and indemnification costs associated with a loss contingency, the Company records accruals when such losses are considered probable and reasonably estimable. The Company believes that it isnot presently a party to legal actions, the outcomes of which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The following table disaggregates revenue by recognition over time or at a point in time, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors (in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Over time | $350,879 | $337,945 | $296,381 |
| Point in time | 175,124 | 154,603 | 147,974 |
| Net sales | $526,003 | $492,548 | $444,355 |
Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets, and Contract Liabilities
The following table summarizes the Company’s accounts receivable, contract assets, and contract liabilities (in thousands):
| December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Accounts receivable | $78,171 | $66,946 | $47,645 |
| Contract assets | 91,036 | 103,422 | 120,516 |
| Contract liabilities | (8,794) | (11,197) | (21,450) |
The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance and billings. The changes in the contract assets and contract liabilities balances during the years ended* December**31,* 2025,2024, and2023 werenot materially affected by any other factors.
The Company recognized revenue that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each period of $11.2 million, $20.6 million, and $17.0 million during the years ended* December**31,* 2025,2024, and2023, respectively.
Backlog
Backlog represents the balance of remaining performance obligations under signed contracts for WTS water infrastructure steel pipe products for which revenue is recognized over time. As of* December**31,* 2025, backlog was $234 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately 72% of the remaining performance obligations in 2026,24% in 2027, and the balance thereafter.

In assessing the ability to realize deferred income tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely thannot that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets willnot be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, taxable income in carryback periods, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company believes it is more likely thannot it will realize the benefits of its deductible differences as of* December31,* 2025, net of any valuation allowance. As of* December31,* 2025, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance on federal tax credits and select state jurisdictions.
As of* December31,* 2025, the Company had approximately $0.2 million of federal income tax credit carryforwards, which expire in 2026. As of* December31,* 2025, the Company also had approximately $12.4 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, which expire on various dates between 2026 and 2036, and state income tax credit carryforwards of $4.3 million, which began to expire in 2025. As of* December**31,* 2025, the Company also had approximately $8.1 million of foreign net operating loss carryforwards, which expire on various dates between 2026 and 2033.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction, in a limited number of foreign jurisdictions, and in many state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company isno longer subject to United States Federal, state, or foreign income tax examinations for years before2021.

On* July**4,* 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, extending key provisions of the2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act including, butnot limited to, federal bonus depreciation and deductions for domestic research and development expenditures. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in2025 and others implemented through2027. The Company has evaluated the OBBBA and implemented provisions effective2025, which didnot have a material impact on its effective income tax rate for2025. Certain provisions of the OBBBA will be effective in future periods and are also expected to have an immaterial impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the full impact of these legislative changes as additional guidance becomes available.
