1. Description of Business

Southland Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Southland”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) are a diverse leader in specialty infrastructure construction with roots dating back to 1900. We design and construct projects in the bridges, tunnels, transportation and facilities, marine, steel structures, water and wastewater treatment, and water pipelines end markets.

Southland is based in Grapevine, Texas. It is the parent company of Johnson Bros. Corporation, American Bridge Holding Company (“American Bridge”), Oscar Renda Contracting, Southland Contracting, Mole Constructors, Heritage Materials and other affiliates. American Bridge, a builder of specialty construction projects, was acquired in 2020. With the combined capabilities of thesesix primary subsidiaries and their affiliates, Southland has become a diversified industry leader with both public and private customers. The majority of our customers are located in the United States.

In the second quarter of 2023, Southland decided to discontinue certain types of projects in its Materials & Paving business line (“M&P”) and sold assets related to producing large scale concrete and asphalt. M&P is reported in the Transportation segment. The Company will not be pursuing production of concrete and asphalt products for use on self-performed paving projects where the majority of the scope of work contains large-scale concrete and asphalt production or sale of asphalt and concrete products to third parties. This operational shift will allow the Company to better focus its resources on more profitable lines of business. The Company has concluded this action with M&P does not qualify for Discontinued Operations treatment and presentation as it does not represent a strategic shift in the Company’s business.

As previously announced, on May 25, 2022, Legato Merger Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“Legato II”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Legato Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Legato II (“Merger Sub”), and Southland Holdings LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Southland LLC”).

On February 14, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Southland LLC, with Southland LLC surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Legato II (the “Merger”). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to herein collectively as the “Business Combination.” In connection with the Business Combination, Legato II changed its name to “Southland Holdings, Inc.”

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with Southland LLC as the accounting acquirer and Legato II as the acquired company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in the consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of Southland and its subsidiaries as if Southland had been the predecessor Company.

2. Basis of Presentation

Consolidated U.S. GAAP Presentation

These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) contains guidance that form GAAP. New guidance is released via Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair

presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report which was filed on Form 10-K on March 4, 2024.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet and related disclosures as of December 31, 2023, have been derived from the Form 10-K filed on March 4, 2024. The Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2024, and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the financial conditions and results of operations that may be expected for any future interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2024.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southland Holdings, Inc., and our majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and affiliates. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated within the consolidations process. Investments in non-construction related partnerships and less-than-majority owned subsidiaries that we do not control, but where we have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Certain construction related joint ventures and partnerships that we do not control, nor do we have significant influence are accounted for under the equity method for the balance sheet and the proportionate consolidation method for the statement of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for continued reasonableness. It is reasonably possible that changes may occur in the near term that would affect our estimates with respect to revenue recognition, the allowance for credit losses, recoverability of unapproved contract modifications, deferred tax assets, and other accounts for which estimates are required.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. We maintain our cash in accounts at certain financial institutions. The majority of our balances exceed federally insured limits.

We have not experienced any losses in these accounts, and we do not believe they are exposed to any significant credit risk.

Restricted cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts held in accounts in our name at certain financial institutions. These accounts are subject to certain control provisions in favor of various surety and insurance companies for purposes of compliance and security perfections.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangibles

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles may be impaired. We evaluate goodwill at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment). We identify our reporting unit and determine the carrying value of the reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, to the reporting unit. Our reporting units are based on our organizational and reporting structure. We currently identify three reporting units. We begin with a qualitative assessment using inputs based on our business, our industry, and overall

macroeconomic factors. If our qualitative assessment deems that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than its carrying amount, we then complete a quantitative assessment to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and compare it to the carrying amount of the reporting unit. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, based on the results of our qualitative assessments which determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded the carrying amounts and that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded the carrying amounts, we did not complete quantitative assessments, and we did not record any impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying value of the asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets. If such assets are not considered to be fully recoverable, any impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets exceeds its respective fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we did not identify any triggering events that would require a quantitative assessment.

Accounts Receivable, Net

We provide an allowance for credit losses, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, existing economic conditions, and future expectations. Normal contracts receivables are typically due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. Retainages are due 30 days after completion of the project and acceptance by the contract owner. Warranty retainage receivables, where applicable, are typically due two years after completion of the project and acceptance by the contract owner. Receivables past due more than 120 days are considered delinquent. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluations and specific circumstances of the customer.

As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we had an allowance for credit losses of $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations-Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement” (“ASU 2023-05”), which requires that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. As a result, a newly formed joint venture, upon formation, would initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value. ASU 2023-05 is effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. We plan to adopt ASU 2023-05 in the first quarter of 2025, but do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06 “Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” which amends GAAP to include 14 disclosure requirements that are currently required under SEC Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K. Each amendment will be effective on the date on which the SEC removes the related disclosure requirement from SEC Regulation S-X or Registration S-K. The Company has evaluated the new standard and determined that it will have no material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures since the Company is already subject to the relevant SEC disclosure requirements.

In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"), which requires expanded disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for us for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning after January 1, 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-07 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which established new income tax disclosure requirements. Public business entities must apply the guidance to

annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We have not elected to early adopt this standard. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent SEC Rules

In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11275,The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors. Unless legal challenges to the rule prevail, this rule will require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports, and the revisions to Regulation S-X would apply to our financial statements beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. We are currently assessing the effect of these new rules on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the 10-K filed on March 4, 2024, and contained elsewhere herein, other than the policy for warrants, which is included below. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant changes in our use of estimates or significant accounting policies.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the instruments’ specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”), and ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the instruments are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the instruments meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the instruments are indexed to the Company’s own common shares and whether the instrument holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, was conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the instruments are outstanding. The Company has concluded that the public warrants and private warrants issued pursuant to the warrant agreement qualify for equity accounting treatment.

3. Recapitalization

As discussed in Note 1 – Description of Business, on the Closing Date, the Company issued 33,793,111 shares of common stock to the former members of Southland (“Southland Members”) in exchange for their membership interests in Southland (“Southland Membership Interests”). Southland received net proceeds of$17.1 million. Transaction costs of$9.9 million directly related to the Merger, are included in additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.

Prior to the Merger, Southland LLC declared a$50.0 million dividend to be payable to Southland Members, which is recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Southland Members, in lieu of cash payment, agreed to receive a promissory note for payment in the future. The notes have afour-year term and accrue interest at 7.0%. Southland, at its discretion, may make interim interest and principal payments during the term.

Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, there were 44,407,831 shares of common stock and 14,385,500 warrants, each exercisable for a share of common stock at an exercise price of$11.50 per share (including public and private placement warrants) (each a “Warrant” and together, collectively, the “Warrants”), outstanding.

Earnout Shares

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Southland Members had the potential to be issued additional consideration of up to 10,344,828 shares of common stock for attaining certain performance targets for the years ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023. On April 27, 2023, Southland issued 3,448,283 shares of common stock to the Southland Members pursuant to the attainment of the 2022 Base Target (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Performance targets for December 31, 2023, were not achieved and there are no further issuances to be made under the Merger Agreement. No shares were issued pursuant to the earnout targets for 2023 as neither targets were attained.

4. Fair Value Investments

Fair value of investments measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, were as follows:

5. Revenue

Revenue is recognized over time using the input method in accordance with ASC 606, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to the estimated total cost for each contract. This method is used because we believe expended cost to be the best available measure of progress on contracts.

Our contracts are primarily in the form of firm fixed-price and fixed-price per unit. A large portion of our contracts have scope defined adequately, which allows us to estimate total contract value upon the signing of a new contract. Upon signing a new contract, we allocate the total consideration across various contractual promises to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. These are grouped into specific performance obligations. This process requires significant management judgement. Most of our contracts have a single performance obligation. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the total transaction price based on the estimated standalone selling price, which is the total project costs plus a budgeted margin percentage, for each of the performance obligations.

Revenue is recognized when, or as, the performance obligations are satisfied. Our contracts do not include a significant financing component. Costs to obtain contracts are generally not significant and are expensed in the period incurred.

Estimating cost to complete of long-term contracts involves a significant amount of estimation and judgement. For long-term contracts, we use the calculated transaction price, estimated cost to complete the project, and the total costs incurred on the project to date to calculate the percentage of the project that is complete. The costs to complete the project and the transaction price can change due to unforeseen events that can either increase or decrease total expected revenues and the estimated margin on a particular project.

Our contract structure allows for variable consideration. A significant portion of this variable consideration comes in the form of change order requests and claims. Other variable consideration can include performance bonuses, incentives, liquidated damages, and other terms that can either raise or lower the total transaction price. We estimate variable consideration based on the probability of being entitled to collection of specific amounts and the estimated amount that we will actually collect. We include amounts that we believe we have an enforceable right to collect, and will actually collect, based on our probability of success with specific claims or contractual rights. Our estimates of total variable consideration rely on all available information about our customer including historical, current, and forecasted information.

Many of our contracts require contract modifications resulting from a change in contract scope or requirements. Change orders are issued to document changes to the original contract. Our estimated value on contract modifications may or may not be accepted by our customers. We can have approved and unapproved change orders. Unapproved change orders are contract modifications for which we or our customers have not agreed to terms, scope and price. Contract modifications are necessary for many reasons, including but not limited to, changes to the contract specifications or design from the customer, modification to the original scope, changes to engineering drawings, or other required deviation from the original construction plan. Contract modifications may also be necessary for reasons including, but not limited to, other changes to the contract which may be out of our control, such as rain or other weather delays, incomplete, insufficient, inaccurate engineering drawings, different site conditions from information made available during the estimating process, or other reasons. An unapproved change order may turn into a formal claim if we cannot come to an agreement with the owner but are contractually entitled to recovery of costs and profits for work performed. Costs incurred related to contract modifications are included in the estimated costs to complete and are treated as project costs when incurred. Unless the contract modification is distinct from the other goods and services included within the project, the contract modification is accounted for as part of the existing contract. The effect of any modifications on the transaction price, and our measure of the percentage-of-completion on specific performance obligations for which the contract modification relates, is recognized as a cumulative catch-up adjustment to revenue recognized. In some cases, contract modifications may not be fully settled until after the completion of work as specified in the original contract.

We review and update our contract and cost estimates regularly. Any adjustments in estimated profit on contracts is recognized under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the cumulative impact of the profit adjustment is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods are then recognized using an updated estimate that uses inputs consisting of costs incurred to date, the estimated transaction price and the estimated remaining costs to be incurred on the project.

If a contract is deemed to be in a loss position, the projected loss is recognized in full, including reversal of any previously recognized margin, in the period in which the change in estimate is made. Losses are recognized as an accrued loss provision on the consolidated balance sheets in the accrued liabilities caption. For contract revenue after the date that the loss is accrued, the accrued loss provision is adjusted so that the gross profit for the contract remains zero in future periods, subject to future adjustments to the overall expected profit or loss as determined at such time. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $15.8 million and $17.3 million, respectively, in accrued loss provisions.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $148.8 million and $139.6 million, respectively, of unapproved contract modifications included within our various projects’ transaction prices. These modifications are in negotiations with our customers or other third parties.

We estimate the likelihood of collection during the bidding process for new contracts. Customers with history of late or non-payment are avoided in the bidding process. We consider the necessity for write-down of receivable balances in conjunction with GAAP when evaluating our estimates of transaction price and estimated costs to complete our projects.

We bill our customers in conjunction with our contract terms. Our contracts have three main categories, (i) contracts that are billed based on a specific timeline, (ii) contracts that are billed upon the completion of certain phases of work, or milestones, and (iii) contracts that are billed as services are provided. Some of our contracts are billed following the recognition of certain revenue. This creates an asset on our consolidated balance sheets captioned “contract assets.” Other contracts’ schedules allow us to bill customers prior to recognizing revenue. These contracts create a liability on our consolidated balance sheets captioned “contract liabilities.”

We segregate our business intotwo reportable segments: Transportation and Civil. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) uses these segments in order to operate the business. Our segments offer different specialty infrastructure services. Our CODM regularly reviews our operating and financial performance based on these segments. Each of our reportable segments is composed of similar business units that specialize in specialty infrastructure projects that are unique.

Our business is managed using revenue and gross profit primarily. Our CODM regularly uses this information to review operating results, plan future bids, allocate resources, target customers, and plan future growth and capital allocations. To determine reportable segment gross profit, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, such as facility costs, equipment costs, and indirect operating expenses, were made.

Our Civil segment is comprised of Oscar Renda Contracting, Inc., Mole Constructors, Inc., Southland Contracting, Inc., Southland Holdings, LLC, Renda Pacific, LLC, Southland Renda JV, Southland RE Properties, Oscar Renda Contracting Canada, Southland Mole of Canada, Southland Technicore Mole joint venture, and Southland Astaldi joint venture. This segment focuses on projects throughout North America that include the design and construction of water pipeline, pump stations, lift stations, water and wastewater treatment plants, concrete and structural steel, outfall, and tunneling.

Our Transportation segment is comprised of American Bridge, Heritage Materials, LLC, and Johnson Bros. Corporation. This segment operates throughout North America and specializes in services that include the design and construction of bridges, roadways, marine, dredging, ship terminals, and piers, and specialty structures and facilities.

Total assets by segment are not presented as our CODM, as defined by ASC 280, does not review or allocate resources based on segment assets. We do not have material intersegment revenue or gross profit. Joint ventures are classified into the segment with which the projects align.

Segment Revenue

Revenue by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was as follows:

Segment Gross Profit (Loss)

Gross profit (loss) by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was as follows:

Revenue earned outside of the United States was 19% and 22% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenue earned outside of the United States was 23% and 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively

6. Debt

Long-term debt and credit facilities consisted of the following as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023:

The weighted average interest rate on total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was 7.01% and 6.12%, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, our fleet of equipment was subject to liens securing our debt.

In February 2024, the Company amended the revolving credit facility to restructure certain covenant levels through December 31, 2024. In May 2024, the Company amended the revolving credit facility to extend the maturity to April 15, 2025 and a waiver was granted for certain debt covenants as of March 31, 2024. In August 2024, the Company amended the revolving credit facility to restructure certain covenant levels through the maturity of the facility. We are currently in compliance with all applicable debt covenants, as amended or waived. The Company projects to be in compliance with all applicable debt covenants through the maturity of the facility.

Revolving Credit Facility

In July 2021, we entered into a revolving credit facility agreement with Frost Bank for$50.0 million. As of December 31, 2022, the revolving credit facility agreement had been amended and increased to$100.0 million. In August 2023, therevolving credit facilitywas extended through January 15, 2025 and we incurred$0.3 million in deferred financing costs. The revolving credit facility agreement bears interest on drawn balances at 1-month SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.90%, plus an applicable margin rate of 3.00%. The waiver in May 2024 amended the revolving credit facility limit to$95.0 million, a$5.0 million cash collateral deposit or debt paydown and extended maturity to April 15, 2025. As of June 30, 2024,$90.0 million was drawn on the revolving credit facility. The Company made an additional$3.0 million payment on the revolving credit facility subsequent to June 30, 2024, in connection with a real estate transaction (see Note 15).

The amendment in August 2024 referenced above, included a waiver that required a principal payment of $2.5 million which was made on August 9, 2024, and amended the revolving credit facility limit to $84.5 million. The August 2024 waiver also requires a permanent principal reduction payment of $10.0 million on September 15, 2024, which will further reduce the revolving credit facility limit to $74.5 million. The revolving credit facility is collateralized by certain real estate assets, unencumbered assets, and a junior lien position on certain assets of Southland.

Secured Notes

We enter into secured notes in order to finance growth within our business. In July 2023, we refinanced approximately$76.4 million of existing secured notes in exchange for a new equipment note in the amount of$113.5 million. The new equipment note is secured by specific construction equipment assets and has afive-year fully amortizing term at a fixed rate of 7.25%. We incurred$0.3 million as deferred financing cost in connection with the refinancing. The deferred financing costs are included in long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, as part of the refinancing, we incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of$0.6 million, which was included in other income, net on our consolidated statements of operations and$0.6 million as bank service charges in connection with the refinancing. As of June 30, 2024, we had outstanding secured notes expiring between December 2025 and March 2033. Interest rates on the secured notes range between 0.00% and 12.90%. The secured notes are collateralized by certain assets of Southland’s fleet of equipment.

Mortgage Notes

We enter into mortgage notes in order to finance growth within our business. As of June 30, 2024, we had mortgage notes expiring between October 2024 and February 2029. Interest rates on the mortgage notes range between 3.84% and 5.99%. The mortgage notes are collateralized by certain real estate owned by Southland.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, we and our affiliates are involved in various legal proceedings alleging, among other things, liability issues or breach of contract or tortious conduct in connection with the performance of services and/or materials provided, the outcomes of which cannot be predicted with certainty. We and our affiliates are also subject to government inquiries in the ordinary course of business seeking information concerning our compliance with government construction contracting requirements and various laws and regulations, the outcomes of which cannot be predicted with certainty.

Some of the matters in which we or our joint ventures and affiliates are involved may involve compensatory, punitive, or other claims or sanctions that, if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that are not currently probable to be incurred or cannot currently be reasonably estimated. In addition, in some circumstances, our government contracts could be terminated, we could be suspended or incur other administrative penalties or sanctions, or payment of our costs could be disallowed. While any of our pending legal proceedings may be subject to early resolution as a result of our ongoing efforts to resolve the proceeding, whether or when any legal proceeding will be resolved is neither predictable nor guaranteed.

Accordingly, it is possible that future developments in such proceedings and inquiries could require us to (i) adjust existing accruals, or (ii) record new accruals that we did not originally believe to be probable or that could not be reasonably estimated. Such changes could be material to our financial condition, results of operations, and/or cash flows in any particular reporting period. In addition to matters that are considered probable for which the loss can be reasonably estimated, disclosure is also provided when it is reasonably possible and estimable that a loss will be incurred, when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the amount recorded, or a loss is probable but the loss cannot be estimated.

Liabilities relating to legal proceedings and government inquiries, to the extent that we have concluded such liabilities are probable and the amounts of such liabilities are reasonably estimable, are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. A certain number of the claims are insured but subject to varying deductibles, and a certain number of the claims are uninsured. The aggregate range of possible loss related to (i) matters considered reasonably possible, and (ii) reasonably possible amounts in excess of accrued losses recorded for probable loss contingencies was immaterial, as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. Our estimates of such matters could change in future periods.

CityLYNX Project

On November 28, 2016, the City of Charlotte (“City”) awarded Contract Number 2017000790 to Johnson Bros. Corporation, a Southland subsidiary (“JBC”) for the project known as CityLYNX Gold Line Phase 2 – Streetcar Project which extended the previously constructed 1.5-mile streetcar system by 2.5 miles to the east and west and included construction through numerous segments in the heart of downtown Charlotte, North Carolina, as well as the reconstruction of the Hawthorne Lane Bridge (the “Project”).

During the course of the Project, JBC alleges numerous and continuous changes and interferences by the City and the City’s representatives which the City has refused to recognize as a contractual change.

After multiple failed attempts at negotiated settlement, JBC timely filed its original complaint in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division in Mecklenburg County, State of North Carolina (the “Court”) on February 20, 2023. JBC filed its First Amended Complaint on April 12, 2023. In the First Amended Complaint, JBC assertedten claims against the City, including claims for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and subcontractor pass-through claims (the “Contract Claims”).

On June 1, 2023, the City filed its Motions to Dismiss, Answer to First Amended Verified Complaint and Counterclaim, seeking, in part, the dismissal of all of JBC’s claims (the “Motion to Dismiss”). The Court issued its Order and Opinion on the Motion to Dismiss on February 27, 2024. Among its rulings in the Order, the Court concluded that JBC’s Contract Claims were time-barred in part and dismissed those claims with prejudice “to the extent those claims [arose] from conduct occurring before 31 January 2021.”

JBC then filed Motions on April 17, 2024, seeking reconsideration of the Court’s partial dismissal of the Contract Claims with prejudice and, alternatively, leave to file a second amended complaint (the “Motion for Reconsideration”). After full briefing, the Court convened a hearing on the Motion for Reconsideration on May 30, 2024.

On June 7, 2024, the Court granted JBC’s Motion for Reconsideration in part by amending its previous Order and converting the dismissal to a “without prejudice” dismissal and granting JBC’s motion to file its proposed Second Amended Complaint.

On June 11, 2024, JBC filed its Second Amended Complaint which reiterates the Contract Claims resulting in damages “in an amount in excess of $115,000,000, plus pre-judgement and post-judgement interest.”

JBC and the City have agreed to participate in a mediated settlement conference scheduled for August 15, 2024.

Surety* Bonds*

We, as a condition for entering into a substantial portion of our construction contracts, had outstanding surety bonds as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. We have agreed to indemnify the surety if the surety experiences a loss on the bonds of any of our affiliates.

*Self-*Insurance

We are self-insured up to certain limits with respect to workers’ compensation, general liability and auto liability matters, and health insurance. We maintain accruals for self-insurance retentions based upon third-party data and claims history.

8. Income Taxes

Prior to the Merger in 2023, Southland LLC, and various domestic subsidiaries, elected to be taxed as an S-corporation, under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, their respective earnings were not subject to entity level income tax, but instead, the owners were liable for federal income taxes on their respective shares of the applicable income. American Bridge and Oscar Renda, two domestic subsidiaries of Southland LLC, had historically been taxed as separate C-corporation and their income subject to entity-level tax.

Following the closing of the Merger on February 14, 2023, Southland LLC, along with various domestic subsidiaries, elected to voluntarily revoke their S-corporation status effective January 1, 2023. As a result, Southland LLC, and their domestic subsidiaries, elected to file a consolidated corporate income tax return for the 2023 calendar year.

Effective January 1, 2024, Southland LLC and subsidiary filing group elected to join the Southland Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries filing group to have all domestic corporate entities included within one consolidated federal income tax return for the 2024 calendar year.

The federal statutory tax rate is 21%. Southland’s effective tax rate was 26.0% and 61.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The primary differences between the statutory rate and the effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were due to state income taxes, the recording of a valuation allowances against Johnson Bros. Corporation’s separate company deferred tax assets, federal tax credits, and income earned in a foreign jurisdiction with a zero tax rate; however, that foreign income is included within U.S taxable income through GILTI. The effective tax rate was 25.9% and 51.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The primary differences between the statutory rate and the effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were due to state income taxes, the recording of a valuation allowance against Johnson Bros. Corporation’s deferred tax assets, and a lower effective rate on overall foreign earnings.

The change in filing structure as a result of the Merger required recording deferred tax assets and liabilities related to entities previously not subject to income tax with$5.0 million being recorded to income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023. As the Merger did not require acquisition accounting under U.S. GAAP, the recording of these deferred tax assets and liabilities was recorded to current operations in accordance with the requirements under ASC 740. Additionally,$1.1 million was recorded to income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to the change in the state effective tax rate applied to both American Bridge and Oscar Renda deferred tax assets and liabilities.

As a result of the U.S. consolidated filing structure, Southland LLC in 2023, and subsequent U.S. consolidated filing structure under Southland, Inc. in 2024, the Company is in a net deferred tax asset position for both federal and state income tax due to net operating losses recorded in the three and six month period ended June 30, 2024. The Company is forecasting that the net deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, are more-likely-than-not to be fully utilized. Therefore, a valuation allowance is not deemed necessary as of June 30, 2024 with the exception of Johnson Bros. Corporation’s deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance of$0.9 million was recorded in the three months ending June 30, 2024 against Johnson Bros. Corporation’s net deferred tax assets as they are determined to not be more-likely-than-not to be utilized.

9. Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations

Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations (“RUPO”) consists of two components: (1) unearned revenue and (2) awarded but not started. Unearned revenue includes the revenue we expect to record in the future on in-progress contracts, including 100% of our consolidated joint venture contracts and our proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture contracts. Contracts that are awarded, but not yet started, are included in RUPO once a contract has been fully executed and/or we have received a formal “Notice to Proceed” from the project owner.

Although RUPO reflects business that we consider to be firm, deferrals, cancellations and/or scope adjustments may occur. RUPO is adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate.

Fixed price contracts, particularly with federal, state and local government customers, are expected to continue to represent a majority of our total RUPO.

As of June 30, 2024, Southland had $2.7 billion of RUPO. The Company expects to recognize approximately 39% of its RUPO as revenue during the next twelve months, and the balance thereafter.

10. Cost and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts

Contract assets as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, consisted of the following:

Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts were as follows as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023:

Our net contract position is included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the following captions:

As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we had recorded $328.6 million and $306.4 million, respectively, related to claims. The classification of these amounts are represented on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, as follows:

On January 1, 2024, we had contract liabilities of $193.4 million, of which $29.5 million and $123.0 million were recognized as revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

On January 1, 2023, we had contract liabilities of $131.6 million, of which $25.1 million and $99.3 million were recognized as revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

11. Noncontrolling Interests Holders

Southland has several controlling interests including both joint ventures and partnerships. We have controlling interests and allocate earnings and losses in those entities to the noncontrolling interest holders based on our ownership percentages.

We owned an 84.7% interest in Oscar Renda Contracting, Inc. (“Oscar Renda”), as of June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023.

We owned a 65.0% interest in the Southland Technicore Mole joint venture and a 70.0% interest in the Southland Astaldi joint venture as of June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023.

American Bridge entered into a joint venture with Commodore Maintenance Corporation, forming American Bridge/Commodore Joint Venture. According to the joint venture agreement, each of the parties is paid in accordance with its respective work performed and has no responsibility for losses incurred by the other party in performance of its work. At June 30, 2024, American Bridge was responsible for approximately 83% of the total contracted work.

We consolidated each of Oscar Renda Contracting, Inc., Southland Technicore Mole joint venture, Southland Astaldi joint venture, and American Bridge/Commodore Joint Venture as a result of our ownership percentage over the joint venture operations. We have fully consolidated revenue, cost of construction, and other costs on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and balances on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

12. Related Party Transactions

Southland occasionally enters into subcontracts with a subcontractor in which certain employees hold a minority ownership. Cost of construction related to this subcontractor was $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively and $1.5 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Accounts payable balance due to this subcontractor was $2.5 million and $0.4 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The terms on which Southland enters into agreements with this related party are substantially the same as terms the Company would enter into with a similar, unrelated party.

In the second quarter of 2024 and in connection with the waiver discussed in Note 6, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Frank Renda, provided a $10.0 million personal guarantee to Frost Bank.

In the second quarter of 2024 the Company exchanged $13.1 million of amounts due to certain Southland Members for $13.1 million in promissory notes with athree-year term bearing an interest rate of 7.0%. These promissory notes pay interest monthly and are included in long-term debt. These amounts are related to balances due to CEO Frank Renda and Co-Chief Operating Officers Tim Winn and Rudy Renda prior to the Merger.

13. Share Based Compensation

On May 24, 2022, the Board of Directors of Legato Merger Corp. II, a Delaware corporation, adopted Southland Holdings, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (“2022 Plan”). On June 25, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a new compensation structure for the Company’s Named Executive Officers. Details of this new compensation structure were filed on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2024. A total of 2,220,392 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2022 Plan of which 1,024,999 remained available as of June 30, 2024.

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”): RSUs are issued for compensatory purposes. RSU stock compensation cost is measured at our common stock’s fair value based on the market price at the date of grant. We recognize stock compensation cost

only for RSUs that we estimate will ultimately vest. We estimate the number of shares that will ultimately vest at each grant date based on our historical experience and adjust stock compensation cost based on changes in those estimates over time.

A summary of the changes in our RSUs during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is as follows (shares in thousands):

Compensation cost related to RSUs was $0.6 million and $1.3 million forthe three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”): PSUs provide for the issuance of shares upon vesting, which occurs following the end of the performance period based on achievement of certain metrics as established by the Board of Directors. The Company recognizes expense for PSUs based on the forecasted achievement of Company performance metrics, multiplied by the fair value of the total number of shares of common stock that the Company anticipates will be issued based on such achievement.

A summary of the changes in our PSUs during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is as follows (shares in thousands):

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there wasno compensation cost related to PSUs.

As of June 30, 2024, there was $4.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost which will be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.3 years.

14. Loss per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following (in thousands, except shares and per share amounts):

As the average market price of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 did not exceed the exercise price of the Warrants, the potential dilution from the Warrants converting into 14,385,500 shares of common stock for both periods have been excluded from the number of shares used in calculating diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would

have been antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the potential dilution from unvested RSUs converting into 314,769 shares and 297,623 shares of common stock, respectively, have been excluded from the number of shares used in calculating diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

15. Subsequent Events

On May 7, 2024, Southland LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a real estate purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between Southland Subsidiary and Reksuh Acquisition, LLC (the “Initial Purchaser”) to sell three properties (the “Properties”) as described in the Purchase Agreement (the “Sale Transaction”).
