Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Business
Southland Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Southland”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is 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. 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.
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.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 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 unaudited 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%. In December 2024, the Company exchanged the remaining outstanding balance of these promissory notes and accrued interest thereupon due in exchange for shares of common stock.
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.
Note 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, 2025.
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet and related disclosures as of December 31, 2024, have been derived from the Form 10-K filed on March 4, 2025. The Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2025, and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, 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, 2025.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southland Holdings, Inc., and our majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and affiliates, as detailed below. 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 under the proportionate consolidation method for the statement of operations.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the Company’s prior period consolidated financial information to conform to the current year presentation. These presentation changes did not impact the Company’s consolidated net income, consolidated cash flows, total assets, total liabilities or total equity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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 unaudited condensed 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, 2025 and 2024, 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.

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, 2025 and 2024, 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 contract 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, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we had an allowance for credit losses of $1.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
Real Estate Transaction
In July 2024, the Company closed a real estate purchase agreement to sell and leaseback three properties for $42.5 million (see Note 11). The transaction was accounted for as a failed sale-leaseback in accordance with ASC 842. As a result, the assets remain on the consolidated balance sheets at their historical net book values. A financing obligation liability was recognized in the amount of $42.5 million with an interest rate of 8.90%. The financing obligation has a maturity date of July 2044. The Company will not recognize rent expenses related to the leased assets. Instead, monthly rent payments under the lease agreement will be recorded as interest expense and a reduction of the outstanding liability.
As of June 30, 2025, relating to the transaction noted above, the current outstanding liability is included in accrued liabilities and the long-term outstanding liability presented as financing obligations, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Adopted 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. ASU 2023-05 was adopted in the first quarter of 2025. Our adoption of ASU 2023-05 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
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 will be applied retrospectively and is first effective for our annual reporting for 2024 and for quarterly reporting beginning in 2025. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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.
On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), 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.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public entities to disclose, in the notes to financial statements, certain costs and expenses, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, and costs related to depreciation and amortization. ASU 2024-03 is effective for our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2027, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect ASU 2024-03 to have an impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows; however, we are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statement 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, 2025, and contained elsewhere herein, other than the policy for warrants, which is included below. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no significant changes in our use of estimates or significant accounting policies.
Warrants
Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination, there were 14,385,500 Warrants issued and outstanding. Each Warrant is exercisable for a share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Company accounts for the 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.

Note 4. 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 estimated costs to complete the project and the estimated transaction price can change due to unforeseen events that can either increase or decrease the margin on a particular project.
Our contract structures typically allow 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 volume discounts, 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. We include amounts that we believe we have an enforceable right to collect, based on our expected 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. 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 estimates regularly on every construction project. Any adjustments in estimated profit, via changes in estimated revenues and estimated costs, on contracts is recognized under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the cumulative impact of a revenue, cost, or profit adjustment is recognized in the period the updated estimates are identified, which may include a reversal of amounts recognized in prior periods. The input of actual costs is used in the percentage-of-completion formula that takes into account current changes in estimates that are treated on a prospective basis. Adjustments in contract estimates resulted in a decrease in gross profit of$13.4 million and$26.7 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Adjustments in contract estimates resulted in a decrease in gross profit of$83.5 million and$108.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $11.6 million and $15.7 million, respectively, in accrued loss provisions.
We estimate the likelihood of collection during the bidding process for new contracts. Customers with a history of late or non-payment are typically 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”), the Chief Executive Officer, 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 Mole of Canada/Astaldi Canada Design & Construction JV (“Southland Astaldi”). In November 2024, the Company dissolved the Southland Technicore Mole 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.

The weighted average interest rate on total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was 9.39% and 9.43%, respectively.
Secured Notes
We enter into secured notes in order to finance growth within our business. As of June 30, 2025, 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.
On September 30, 2024, the Company entered into a term loan and security agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Callodine Commercial Finance, LLC as administrative agent (“Administrative Agent”) and lender. The Credit Agreement provides for afour-year secured $160.0 million term loan facility (the “Credit Facility”), consisting of a $140.0 million initial draw term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $20.0 million committed delayed draw term loan (the “Delayed Draw”). The Delayed Draw is a committed facility in which the Company may request all or a portion of the Delayed Draw to be available to the Company, subject to specified advance rates against eligible collateral and other criteria of the Credit Facility. The Delayed Draw can be drawn no more than once per quarter in minimum increments of $2.5 million, and once drawn, any repaid amounts of the Delayed Draw cannot be re-borrowed. Any undrawn portion of the Delayed Draw commitment will terminate on September 30, 2027, the third anniversary of the closing date. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of September 30, 2028.
The Credit Facility replaced the revolving credit facility with Frost Bank that was originally entered into in July 2021 (as subsequently amended, the “Revolving Credit Facility”). A portion of the proceeds from the Term Loan was used to pay in full all outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility, and the Revolving Credit Facility was terminated.
On March 3, 2025, the Company and Administrative Agent entered into a first amendment to the Credit Facility that removed an Administrative Agent-requested borrowing base reserve amount in exchange for certain additional reporting obligations and a personal guarantee from Frank Renda, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, on any draws made on the Delayed Draw. As such, the Company has access to the Delayed Draw facility as supported by the borrowing base calculation and as of June 30, 2025,$17.3 million was available.
The Credit Agreement requires quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan, which commenced on December 31, 2024. The required principal amortization is as follows: (i)5.0% in the first year (1.25% per quarter), (ii)10.0% in the second year (2.50% per quarter), (iii)15.0% in the third and fourth years (3.75% per quarter), and (iv) the remaining balance at maturity. The amortization for the Delayed Draw will also be paid quarterly and apply to each individual draw at the same prevailing quarterly rate that is in effect for the Term Loan and will commence with the first full quarter after the draw date of any Delayed Draw.
The interest on amounts drawn under the Credit Facility is payable monthly at a rate of 7.25% per annum plus the higher of (i) 90-day Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) with a credit adjustment spread of 0.15% or (ii)3%. The undrawn portion of the Delayed Draw is subject to a 3.75% commitment fee, payable monthly.
Any principal prepayments in the first three years, other than mandatory prepayments pursuant to the Credit Agreement, will be subject to additional fees. In the first year, any prepayments will incur fees of 3% or the make-whole premium, whichever is higher. The make-whole premium is the interest and fees that would have been earned for the full year less interest and fees paid to date during the year. In the second and third years, any prepayments will incur fees of 2% and 1%, respectively. There areno fees for prepayments made in the fourth year.
The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants and events of default, including financial covenants based on the Company’s Liquidity, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and trailing twelve-month earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (the “TTM EBITDA Covenants”). The TTM EBITDA Covenants will be tested and the Company must comply with the TTM EBITDA Covenants during any period where the Company’s Liquidity falls below $30.0 million until the Company’s Liquidity exceeds $30.0 million for a period of at least 30 days. The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain Liquidity of at least $20.0 million at all times. The Credit Agreement also stipulates that the outstanding principal cannot be greater than the specified advance rates against eligible collateral.
The obligations under the Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries. The obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a first lien on all assets of the Company, subject to permitted liens and interests of other parties as described in the Credit Agreement.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Agreement.
Mortgage Notes
We enter into mortgage notes in order to finance growth within our business. As of June 30, 2025, we had a mortgage note expiring in February 2029. The interest rate on the mortgage note was 5.99%. The mortgage note is collateralized by certain real estate owned by Southland.
Revolving Credit Facility
In July 2024, the Company made a $3.0 million payment on the Revolving Credit Facility, in connection with the real estate transaction (see Note 2). On August 9, 2024, a principal payment of $2.5 million was made and the Revolving Credit Facility limit was reduced to $84.5 million. An additional payment of $10.0 million was made on September 15, 2024, which further reduced the Revolving Credit Facility limit to $74.5 million. The Company used a portion of the Term Loan proceeds to pay in full all outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company terminated the Revolving Credit Facility.
Note 6. 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, 2025, and December 31, 2024. 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.”
The parties continue to participate in mediation and continue to exchange information and engage in meetings as part of that process.
Surety* Bonds*
We, as a condition for entering into a substantial portion of our construction contracts, had outstanding surety bonds as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. 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.
Note 7. Income Taxes
Effective January 1, 2024, Southland Holdings, 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 0.6% and 26.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The primary differences between the statutory rate and the effective rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were due to state income taxes, federal tax credits, valuation allowances recorded against certain subsidiaries’ net deferred tax assets, and income earned in a foreign jurisdiction with different income tax rates from the domestic rate; however, that foreign income is included within U.S. taxable income through Section 951A Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”). The effective tax rate was 2.9% and 25.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The primary difference between the statutory rate and the effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were due to state income taxes, federal tax credits, valuation allowances recorded against certain subsidiaries’ net deferred tax assets, and income earned in a foreign jurisdiction with different income tax rates from the domestic rate; however, that foreign income is included within U.S. taxable income through GILTI.
The Company is in a net deferred tax asset position for both U.S. federal and state income tax as of June 30, 2025. The Company is forecasting that the net deferred tax assets, including net operating losses, are more-likely-than-not to be fully utilized due to the reversal of the existing deferred tax assets and liabilities along with incorporating management’s pre-tax income forecast over the coming years. Therefore, a valuation allowance is not deemed necessary for the net deferred tax assets related to U.S. federal and state income tax as of June 30, 2025, with the exception of the net deferred tax assets related to separate state filings for certain subsidiaries and the deferred tax asset related to foreign tax credits generated on other subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2025, the Company maintains a valuation allowance of approximately $2.9 million related to these net deferred tax assets on certain U.S. subsidiaries as they are determined to not be more-likely-than-not to be utilized.
As a result of financial losses incurred within the Canadian operations at certain subsidiaries, the Company maintains a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets as they are determined to not be more-likely-than-not to be utilized. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has a valuation allowance in the amount of $7.8 million related to the net deferred tax assets on certain Canadian subsidiaries.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance related to the net deferred tax assets recorded from United Kingdom operations from historic losses incurred that are determined to not be more-likely-than-not to be utilized. As of June 30, 2025, the valuation allowance related to United Kingdom operations is $16.6 million.
On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act introduces multiple tax laws and other legislative changes, including modifications to income tax provisions such as domestic research and development expenses, capital expenditures, adjustments to business interest expense limitation calculation, and U.S. taxation of international earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of these provisions on our consolidated financial statements. However, we expect the Tax Act to decrease the period of time it would take for the Company to utilize its current net deferred tax assets due to the favorable changes to the business interest expense limitation calculation and removal of the requirement to capitalize R&D expenditures.
Note 8. Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations (“RUPO”) consists of two components: (1) unearned revenue and (2) contracts that are 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, 2025, Southland had $2.3 billion of RUPO. The Company expects to recognize approximately 41% of its RUPO as revenue during the next twelve months, and the balance thereafter.

| Contract liabilities | (250,942) | | (249,706) |
| Net contract position | $249,578 | | $233,475 |
We periodically evaluate our project forecasts and the amounts recognized with respect to our claims and unapproved change orders, and other potential modifications under review (referred to collectively as “Unresolved Contract Modifications”). On certain projects we have assessed Unresolved Contract Modifications to recover additional costs and profits which we believe we are entitled under the terms of our contracts. This includes Unresolved Contract Modifications on completed projects and projects that are not yet complete. Until an Unresolved Contract Modification is finalized it is likely that additional costs will be incurred in future periods. Our customers, or other third parties, may disagree with some or all of our assessed Unresolved Contract Modifications. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we have recorded$486.0 million and$469.8 million, respectively, related to Unresolved Contract Modifications.
On January 1, 2025, we had contract liabilities of $249.7 million, of which $54.5 million and $175.1 million were recognized as revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
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.
Note 10. 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 own an 84.7% interest in Oscar Renda Contracting, Inc. (“Oscar Renda”), as of June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024.
We own a 70.0% interest in the Southland Astaldi joint venture as of June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024.
In November 2024, the Company dissolved the Southland Technicore Mole joint venture. Our interest in the Southland Technicore Mole joint venture was 0% as of June 30, 2025, and 65% as of June 30, 2024.
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, 2025, American Bridge was responsible for approximately 82% of the total contracted work.
We consolidated each of Oscar Renda Contracting of Canada, Southland Technicore Mole joint venture, Southland Astaldi joint venture, and American Bridge/Commodore joint venture as a result of our control 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.
Note****11. 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 $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $1.6 million and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Accounts payable balance due to this subcontractor was $2.7 million and $0.4 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 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 the Chief Executive Officer Frank Renda and Co-Chief Operating Officers Tim Winn and Rudy Renda prior to the Merger. In December 2024, the Company exchanged the remaining outstanding balance of these promissory notes and accrued interest thereupon due in exchange for shares of common stock.
In July 2024, the Company closed a real estate purchase agreement to sell and leaseback three properties for $42.5 million. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Frank Renda, and co-Chief Operating Officer, Rudy Renda, hold a combined 25% indirect minority interest in the entity that purchased the real estate. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid$2.0 million to this related party in accordance with the real estate purchase agreement.
Note 12. Share Based Compensation
On May 24, 2022, the Board of Directors of Legato Merger Corp. II, a Delaware corporation, adopted the 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 964,413 remained available as of June 30, 2025.
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, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

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.

As the average market price of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 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, 2025, the potential dilution from unvested RSUs converting into 437,589 shares and 397,206 shares of common stock, respectively, has been excluded from the number of shares used in calculating diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive. For 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, has been excluded from the number of shares used in calculating diluted net loss per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
