NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
Description of Business
TIC Solutions, Inc. (formerly Acuren Corporation and hereinafter referred to as “we,” “our,” “us,” “TIC Solutions,” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of tech-enabled Testing, Inspection, Certification and Compliance (“TICC”), engineering and consulting, and geospatial services. On August 4, 2025 (the “NV5 Closing Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of NV5 Global, Inc. (the “NV5 Acquisition”), an engineering and consulting services company. The Company operates primarily in North America and serves both private and public-sector clients. On October 10, 2025, the Company changed its name from Acuren Corporation to TIC Solutions, Inc.
The Company’s private-sector clients span industrial, infrastructure, construction, and commercial real estate end markets and its public-sector clients include federal, state, and municipal agencies, public utilities, transportation authorities, and environmental regulators. Within industrial markets, the Company’s services address energy processing and refining, pipeline and midstream infrastructure, chemicals and industrial processing, manufacturing and industrial services, power generation and utilities, and companies in aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, pulp and paper, and mining. The Company provides mission-critical services that are essential to the safety, reliability, and efficiency of industrial assets, buildings and public infrastructure. The Company’s services are often non-discretionary and are driven by regulatory requirements, customer risk management policies, and the need to extend the useful life of critical assets.
Until its acquisition of ASP Acuren Holdings, Inc. (“ASP Acuren”) on July 30, 2024 (the “Acuren Acquisition”) pursuant to the terms of the related Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), the Company had neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues. On July 30, 2024 (the “ASP Closing Date”), the Company completed the Acuren Acquisition and changed its name from Admiral Acquisition Limited to Acuren Corporation. See “Note 3. Business Combinations” for further discussion.
On December 16, 2024, the Company changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the British Virgin Islands to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). The business, assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries were the same immediately after the Domestication as they were immediately prior to the Domestication. As a result of the Domestication, ordinary shares and Founder Preferred Shares were converted to shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, respectively. Each holder of a warrant, option or restricted stock unit became a holder of a warrant, option or restricted stock unit of the domesticated Company. The number of shares outstanding did not change as a result of the Domestication, and the proportional equity interest of each shareholder remained the same. Shares referred to as ordinary shares and Founder Preferred Shares prior to the domestication are referred to as common shares and Series A Preferred Shares (“Preferred Shares”) throughout these Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications did not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations as previously reported. The results of operations of companies acquired are included from the date of acquisition.
TIC Solutions is considered the acquirer of ASP Acuren for accounting purposes and ASP Acuren is the accounting Predecessor. As a result, the Company’s financial statement presentation for the ASP Acuren financial information as of and for the periods presented prior to the Acuren Acquisition date are labeled “Predecessor.” The Company’s financial statements, including ASP Acuren from the Acuren Acquisition date, are labeled “Successor.” The merger was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of the net assets acquired. Determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities assumed is judgmental in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. See “Note 3. Business Combinations” for more information of the fair values of assets and liabilities recorded in connection with the Acuren Acquisition.
As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the ASP Closing Date, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include a black line division which indicates a differentiation that the Predecessor and Successor reporting entities shown are presented on a different basis and are, therefore, not comparable. The Predecessor and Successor consolidated financial information presented herein is not comparable primarily due to the impacts of the Acuren Acquisition, including the remeasurement of acquired assets and assumed liabilities at fair value in the Successor consolidated financial statements.
The historical financial information of the Company which was, prior to the Acuren Acquisition, an acquisition vehicle, has not been presented in these financial statements as the historical amounts have not been considered meaningful. As an acquisition vehicle, the Company retained and invested the proceeds from its initial public offering (the “initial IPO”) and the funds were used to pay a portion of the cash consideration for the Acuren Acquisition.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, known or expected trends and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable. As future events and their effects cannot be predicted with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates, which may cause the Company’s future results to be affected. Estimates and assumptions are evaluated periodically and adjusted when necessary. The more significant estimates affecting amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements include the following:
revenue recognition over time;
fair value estimates used in accounting for business combinations, including the valuation of intangible assets and long-lived assets
fair value estimates used in determining the fair value of our reporting units for goodwill impairment assessment; and
determining estimated deferred income tax assets and liabilities, including valuation allowances
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for its business combinations under Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), which requires recognition of acquired assets and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair value, separately from goodwill. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The allocation of the purchase price to identifiable intangible assets is based on valuations performed to determine the fair values of such assets as of the acquisition date. Certain estimates and judgments are required in the application of the fair value techniques, including estimates of the respective acquisition’s future performance and related cash flows, selection of a discount rate and economic lives, and use of Level 3 measurements. While the Company uses the best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash deposited in banks, demand deposits, money market accounts, and highly-liquid, short-term investments with an initial term of three months or less.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation and amortization expense on property, plant and equipment is included within cost of revenue or selling, general and administrative expenses based on the nature of the asset. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance that do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that significantly improve or extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Upon retirement or disposition of property, plant and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in “Income (loss) from operations” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company evaluates the impairment of its goodwill annually on October 1, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level, which represents the operating segment level or one level below the operating segment level for which discrete financial information is available. Historically, the legacy Acuren business had two reporting units, United States and Canada. Effective October 1, 2025, the Company re-evaluated the structure of the Company’s internal organization as a result of the NV5 Acquisition and has combined the two reporting units into one reporting unit, Inspection and Mitigation. As a result, the Company now has four reporting units, Inspection and Mitigation, Infrastructure, BTS, and Geospatial. The Infrastructure and BTS reporting units comprise the Consulting Engineering operating segment.
The Company performs a goodwill impairment assessment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances arise which indicate that goodwill may be impaired. An assessment can be performed by first completing a qualitative assessment on some or all of the Company’s reporting units in order to conclude that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is below its carrying amount (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%). The Company can also bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test, and then resume the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. Qualitative indicators that may trigger the need for annual or interim quantitative impairment testing include, among other things, deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, declining financial performance, deterioration in the operational environment, or an expectation of selling or disposing of a portion of a reporting unit. Additionally, a significant change in business climate, a loss of a significant customer, increased competition, a sustained decrease in share price, or a decrease in estimated fair value below book value may trigger the need for interim impairment testing of goodwill associated with one or more reporting units. Under the quantitative assessment, the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, then an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
If the Company believes that, as a result of its qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required.
Due to changes in legacy Acuren reporting units, the Company conducted a quantitative impairment assessment at prior reporting unit levels. This involved comparing each unit's fair value—determined by market multiples (market approach) and discounted future cash flows (income approach)—with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Under the market approach, management uses selected financial information of publicly-traded companies that compare to the reporting unit to derive a market-based multiple. The public company multiples are based on peer group multiples adjusted for size, growth, risk and margin. The discounted future cash flows assessment required significant judgments regarding revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, discount rates, and other market participant considerations. If a unit's carrying amount surpassed its fair value, an impairment loss would reduce goodwill and be charged to earnings, limited to the allocated goodwill, while accounting for income tax effects on any tax-deductible goodwill impairment. There was no goodwill impairment identified. The company performed a qualitative assessment on the post internal organization Inspection and Mitigation reporting unit and determined there was no impairment charges for the period
As of the annual measurement date, October 1, 2025, the Company performed a qualitative analysis of its Infrastructure, BTS, and Geospatial reporting units and determined there wereno impairment charges for the period. During the periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company performed a qualitative analysis and determined there wereno impairment charges for either period.
Although management believes that assumptions are reasonable, actual results may vary significantly. These impairment assessments involve the use of accounting estimates and assumptions, changes in which could materially impact our financial condition or operating performance if actual results differ from such estimates and assumptions. Furthermore, significant negative industry or economic trends, disruptions to our business, unexpected significant changes or planned changes in use of the assets, a decrease in our business results, growth rates that fall below our assumptions, and a sustained decline in our stock price and market capitalization may have a negative effect on the fair values and key valuation assumptions. Such changes could result in changes to our estimates of our fair value and a material impairment of goodwill.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, customer backlog, and technology have been recorded based on their fair value at the date of acquisition and are amortized over their economic useful lives which range from 2 to 15 years. Amortization expense is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment and purchased identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of an asset is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. There were no indications of impairment identified during the periods ended December 31, 2025, 2024, or 2023.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception, which is the date on which the terms of the contract are agreed to, and the agreement creates enforceable rights and obligations. Under ASC 842, Leases, a contract is or contains a lease when (i) explicitly or implicitly identified assets have been deployed in the contract and (ii) the customer obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset and directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. The Company also considers whether its service arrangements include the right to control the use of an asset.
The Company made an accounting policy election under ASC 842 not to recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. For all other leases, the Company recognizes ROU assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date of the lease.
Future lease payments may include fixed rent escalation clauses or payments that depend on an index (such as the consumer price index). Subsequent changes in an index and other periodic market-rate adjustments to base rent are recorded in variable lease expense in the period incurred. Payments for terminating the lease are included in the lease payments only when it is probable they will be incurred.
The Company’s leases may include a non-lease component representing additional services transferred to the Company, such as common area maintenance for real estate. The Company made an accounting policy election to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component. Non-lease components that are variable in nature are recorded in variable lease expense in the period incurred.
The Company utilizes discount rates to determine the present value of the lease payments based on information available at the commencement date of the lease. The Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on factors such as the lease term, the Company’s credit rating and current market valuations for similarly rated credits in the market, as the rate implicit in the lease is not always readily available. Incremental borrowing rates are updated annually and the new rates are used for the acquired leases and lease modifications occurring in the following year unless there are indicators of needing to update the rate more frequently.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs represent the cost of obtaining financing arrangements. Debt issuance costs related to the revolving credit facility were deferred and recorded as an asset and amortized over the term of the revolving credit arrangement using the straight-line method. Debt issuance costs relating to the term loan are recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the term loan and are amortized over the term of the related financing agreement using the straight-line method.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the potential dilutive effects of stock options, warrants, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, and shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. When a net loss per common share exists, all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding are anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, by following the five-step model: the Company identifies a contract with a customer, identifies the performance obligation(s) in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract and recognize revenues as the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s).
Nature of Services and Performance Obligations
The Company provides TICC, engineering, geospatial and other services to customers under a variety of contract types. Contracts are evaluated to determine whether they should be combined and whether they contain one or multiple performance obligations. Most contracts contain a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer individual services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, is not distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation utilizing several different pricing scenarios and is able to discretely price out each individual component based on its nature and relation to the overall performance obligation.
Performance obligations are generally satisfied over time as work progresses or services are rendered, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company’s performance. Revenue may be recognized over time based on time and material incurred to date, which best portrays the transfer of control to the customer, or based on a cost-to-cost measure of progress, whereby the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of direct costs incurred to date to the total estimated direct costs at completion of the performance obligation. Contract costs include labor, sub-consultant services and other direct costs. For contracts that meet the required conditions, the Company applies the as-invoiced practical expedient and recognizes revenue based on its right to invoice for services performed.
Performance obligations in certain contract are satisfied at a point in time. Revenue for these services is recognized when control of the promised deliverable transfers to the customer, which is generally upon completion, delivery or customer acceptance of reports or analyses.
The Company enters into contracts with its clients that contain two principal types of pricing provisions: cost-reimbursable and fixed-unit price. Cost-reimbursable contracts consist of the following:
time and material contracts, which are common for smaller scale professional and technical consulting and certification services projects. Under these types of contracts, there is no predetermined fee. Instead, the Company negotiates hourly billing rates and charges the clients based upon actual hours expended on a project. In addition, any direct project expenditures are passed through to the client and are typically reimbursed. These contracts may have an initial not-to-exceed or guaranteed maximum price provision.
cost-plus contracts are the predominant contracting method used by U.S. Federal, state, and local governments. Under these types of contracts, the Company charges clients for its costs, including both direct and indirect costs, plus a negotiated fee. The total estimated cost plus the negotiated fee represents the total contract value.
lump-sum contracts typically require the performance of all of the work under the contract for a specified lump-sum fee, subject to price adjustments if the scope of the project changes or unforeseen conditions arise. Many of the Company’s lump-sum contracts are negotiated and arise in the design of projects with a specified scope and project deliverables. In most cases, we can bill additional fees if the construction schedule is modified and lengthened.
Fixed-unit price contracts typically require the performance of an estimated number of units of work at an agreed price per unit, with the total payment under the contract determined by the actual number of units performed.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $1.1 billion of remaining performance obligations, of which $808.5 million is expected to be recognized over the next 12 months. Performance obligations include only those amounts that have been funded and authorized and does not reflect the full amounts the Company may receive over the term of such contracts. In the case of non-government contracts and project awards, performance obligations include future revenue at contract or customary rates, excluding contract renewals or extensions that are at the discretion of the client. For contracts with a not-to-exceed maximum amount, the Company includes revenue from such contracts in performance obligations to the extent of the remaining estimated amount. The majority of unsatisfied performance obligations are expected to be recognized as revenue within one year.
Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events. These assumptions are dependent upon the accuracy of a variety of estimates, including engineering progress, achievement of milestones, labor productivity and cost estimates. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that actual completion costs may vary from estimates. If estimated total costs on contracts indicate a loss or reduction to the percentage of total contract revenues recognized to date, these losses or reductions are recognized in the period in which the revisions are known. The effect of revisions to revenues and estimated costs to complete contracts, including penalties, incentive awards, change orders, claims and anticipated losses, are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions are identified and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such revisions could occur in any reporting period and the effects on the results of operations for that reporting period may be material depending on the size of the project or the adjustment.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in, and are reflected within, “Accounts receivable, net,” “Contract assets, net,” and “Contract liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets.
“Accounts receivable, net” represents amounts billed to clients that remain uncollected as of the balance sheet date. The amounts are stated at their estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The Company records an allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable based on management’s expected credit losses. Management’s estimate of expected credit losses is based on its assessment of the business environment, customers’ financial condition, historical collection experience, accounts receivable aging and customer disputes. Changes to the allowance for credit losses are adjusted through credit loss expense, which is included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). See further discussion in “Note 6. Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.”
“Contract assets, net” represent recognized amounts pending billing pursuant to contract terms or accounts billed after period end and are expected to be billed and collected within the next 12 months. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets that are classified as current.
In certain circumstances, the contract may allow for billing terms that result in cumulative amounts billed in excess of revenues recognized. “Contract liabilities” represent billings in excess of revenues recognized on these contracts as of the reporting date that are generally classified as current. During the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue recognized related to the Company’s contract liabilities that existed as of December 31, 2024 was not material.
Contract Modifications
Contract modifications may occur in the normal course of business and typically result from changes in scope, specifications or performance period. In most cases, such modifications are not distinct and are accounted for as part of the existing contract. If a modification adds distinct goods or services at a price that reflects their standalone selling prices, it is accounted for as a separate contract.
Federal Acquisition Regulations
Federal Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”), which are applicable to the Company’s federal government contracts and may be incorporated in local and state agency contracts, limit the recovery of certain specified indirect costs on contracts. Cost-plus contracts covered by FAR or certain state and local agencies also may require an audit of actual costs and provide for upward or downward adjustments if actual recoverable costs differ from billed recoverable costs.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of direct labor, sub-consultant services, and other direct costs. Other direct costs include materials and costs, such as supplies, tools, facility costs, and depreciation of equipment related to contract performance as well as travel, per diem, and lodging costs. Labor costs are recognized as labor hours are incurred in delivering services.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of certain indirect costs of providing services, employee compensation, information systems and technology costs, share-based compensation, depreciation, amortization of intangibles, and facility related expenses.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation awards are measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and are expensed over the requisite service period. See “Note 17. Share-Based Compensation” for details on time-based, market-based and performance-based awards.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the enacted income tax rates expected to apply in the taxable year that the asset or liability is expected to be recovered or settled.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of a deferred income tax asset will not be realized. Valuation allowances are provided when management believes, after estimating future taxable income, considering feasible income tax planning opportunities and weighing all facts and circumstances that certain deferred tax assets are not recoverable. The Company evaluates its tax contingencies and recognizes a liability when it believes it is more-likely-than-not that a liability exists.
The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
The Company records interest expenses and penalties on uncertain tax liabilities in the provision for income taxes.
Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated monthly at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year.
The Company has foreign currency exposure related to operations in foreign locations. This foreign currency exposure arises from the translation of foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. Dollars. Increases and decreases in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to these foreign currencies have a direct impact on the value in U.S. Dollars of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, even if the value of these items has not changed in their original currency.
Translation adjustments are included in foreign currency translation adjustments to arrive at other comprehensive income (loss). Due to the materiality of its international operations, the Company is subject to market risks resulting from fluctuations in foreign currencies.
Derivative Instruments
The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements which were intended to reduce the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on a portion of its variable rate debt. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends upon the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. The Company has not designated any derivatives as hedging instruments and reported these agreements at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in interest expense, net. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held no such derivative instruments.
Workers Compensation and Self-Insurance
The Company records a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews its loss contingencies on an ongoing basis to ensure that the appropriate reserves are recorded in its consolidated balance sheets. These reserves are based on historical experience with claims incurred but not received, estimates and judgments made by the Company, applicable insurance coverage for litigation matters, and are adjusted as circumstances warrant. The Company is self-insured for certain losses relating to workers’ compensation and health benefit claims. The Company maintains third-party excess insurance coverage for workers’ compensation and health benefit claims. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had accrued approximately $4.4 million and $5.2 million, respectively for workers’ compensation related liabilities. Self-insured losses are accrued when it is probable that an uninsured claim has been incurred but not reported and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated at the balance sheet date.
Concentration of Credit Risk
As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company held no interest rate swap agreements. The Company’s historical interest rate swap agreements contained an element of risk related to the counterparties’ potential inability to meet the terms of the agreement. However, the Company minimized this risk by limiting the counterparties to a diverse group of highly rated, major domestic financial institutions. Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable as the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business to its diverse customer base. To mitigate credit risks, the Company evaluates and monitors the creditworthiness of its customers. Historical bad debt write-offs have not been significant.
As of and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, no individual customer represented more than 10% of consolidated sales or accounts receivable, and no individual vendor represented more than 10% of purchases or accounts payable.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. Public business entities are required to adopt for annual fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU prospectively which resulted in additional disclosures to “Note 14. Income Taxes.”
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), requiring disclosure in the notes to the financial statements for specified information about certain costs and expenses. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027; however early adoption is permitted and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
2025 Acquisitions (Successor)
NV5 Acquisition
On August 4, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of NV5 Global, Inc. (“NV5”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 14, 2025 (“the NV5 Merger Agreement”).
In conjunction with the NV5 Acquisition, the Company completed a reorganization of the Company’s reportable segments to align with the service offerings of the combined entity. Accordingly, the post-acquisition results of NV5 are reported within the Company’s Consulting Engineering and Geospatial reportable segments, and the Company’s historical United States and Canada reportable segments have been combined into the Inspection and Mitigation reportable segment. “See Note 19. Segment Reporting” for further discussion regarding the Company’s reorganization and revised reportable segments.
The aggregate purchase consideration paid to the shareholders of NV5 (the “Sellers”) totaled $1.7 billion, including: (i) a cash payment at the Closing Date of $870.9 million, (ii) the issuance of 73.2 million shares of common stock to NV5 stockholders with an estimated fair value of $768.3 million, and, (iii) the replacement of $76.5 million of unvested NV5 share-based awards, of which $29.7 million was attributable to pre-combination services. The Company funded the cash portion of the purchase price with a new term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $875.0 million and cash on hand. In conjunction with the debt financing, the Company incurred $21.9 million in debt issuance costs that were capitalized and will be amortized using the effective interest method over the remaining term of the Term Loans (as defined in “Note 12. Long-Term Debt”). The Company also increased the amount of its existing senior secured revolving credit facility to $125.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and incurred debt issuance costs of $1.3 million related to the Revolving Credit Facility which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the Revolving Credit Facility.
The NV5 Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values. In order to determine the fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company engaged an independent third-party valuation specialist to assist in the determination of the fair values. The final determination of the fair values of assets and liabilities will be completed within the one-year measurement period as required by ASC 805. The NV5 Acquisition will necessitate the use of this measurement period to adequately analyze and assess the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the relevant acquisition date, including intangible assets, contract assets and liabilities, certain lease-related assets and liabilities, indemnification assets, and deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the tangible and intangible net assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to the assembled workforce, expansion of service offerings, market opportunities and synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of the Company and NV5. The Company has preliminarily assigned goodwill amounts of approximately $15.4 million, $515.0 million, $233.1 million to the Inspection and Mitigation, Consulting Engineering and Geospatial segments, respectively (see “Note 8. Goodwill”). Goodwill of $76.1 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair value of consideration transferred and the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the NV5 Acquisition:
| Total | |
|---|---|
| Cash consideration | $870,911 |

As of December 31, 2025, the Company made measurement period adjustments of $75.3 million, primarily related to a reduction in the estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets of $101.9 million, partially offset by the change in the related deferred tax liability of $30.9 million. The impact to the period ended September 30, 2025 was not material as a result of the measurement period adjustments.
As part of the purchase price allocation, the Company determined the identifiable intangible assets included customer relationships, customer backlog, trade name, and developed technology. Management used the multi-period excess earnings method to estimate the fair value of the customer relationships, which utilized the following significant assumptions and inputs: revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, attrition rates, probability of renewal, contributory asset charges, income tax rates, depreciation and discount rates.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets:
| Total | |
|---|---|
| Customer relationships | $590,000 |
| Customer backlog | 88,000 |
| Trade name | 39,000 |
| Developed technology | 3,000 |
| Total intangible assets | $720,000 |
The weighted useful lives over which the intangible assets will be amortized are estimated as follows:15 years for customer relationships,2 years for customer backlog,10 years for the trade name, and 3 years for developed technology.
The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of NV5 following the consummation of the NV5 Acquisition from the date of the acquisition. All of the revenues and earnings of the Company’s Consulting Engineering and Geospatial reportable segments are attributable to the NV5 acquired business. Revenues recognized from the NV5 Acquisition in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $431.4 million. Income before tax from the NV5 Acquisition included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $3.2 million.
In conjunction with the NV5 Acquisition, the Company incurred transaction costs of $24.7 million, which were expensed and included in “Transaction costs” in the consolidated statement of operations.
Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information
The following table presents the unaudited, pro forma consolidated results of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 as if the NV5 Acquisition and related financing had occurred as of January 1, 2024, after giving effect to certain purchase accounting and financing adjustments. These amounts are based on financial information of the NV5 business and are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s operating results would have been had the NV5 Acquisition and related financing taken place on January 1, 2024.
| Year Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
| Revenue | $2,111,086 | $2,038,658 |
| Net loss | $(116,634) | $(201,538) |
Pro forma financial information is presented as if the operations of NV5 had been included in the consolidated results of the Company since January 1, 2024, and gives effect to transactions that are directly attributable to the NV5 Acquisition and related financing. Adjustments, net of related tax impacts, include: additional depreciation and amortization expense related to the fair value of acquired property and equipment and intangible assets as if such assets were acquired on January 1, 2024; movement of transaction costs between reporting periods; interest expense under the Company’s Term Loans (defined in “Note 12. Long-Term Debt”) as if the amount borrowed to partially finance the purchase price was borrowed on January 1, 2024.
Other 2025 Acquisition Activity
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed seven other business combinations, which were not significant to the consolidated financial statements, either individually or in the aggregate. Total aggregate consideration was $43.6 million. Revenues recognized and income before income tax provision from these acquisitions in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 were immaterial. The Company recorded a total $15.7 million of goodwill related to these acquisitions, of which $9.7 million was assigned to the Inspection and Mitigation reportable segment, $1.9 million was assigned to the Consulting Engineering reportable segment, and $4.1 million was assigned to the Geospatial reportable segment. The final determination of the fair values of assets and liabilities will be completed within the one-year measurement period as required by ASC 805.
2024 Acquisitions
On July 30, 2024, the Company completed the Acuren Acquisition, whereby it obtained control of ASP Acuren and concurrently changed its name to Acuren Corporation. The aggregate purchase consideration transferred to the shareholders of ASP Acuren (the “Sellers”) totaled $1.9 billion, which included: i) a cash payment made at the Closing Date of $1.9 billion, of which $5.2 million was subsequently returned to the Company related to a net working capital adjustment and settlement between the Company and Sellers (recognized as a measurement period adjustment) and ii)0.4 million Acuren British Virgin Islands ordinary shares of the Company (which were converted into common stock pursuant to the Company’s Domestication (as defined below) with an estimated fair value of $4.0 million.
The Acuren Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values, with the exception of deferred income tax assets acquired and liabilities assumed, contract assets and liabilities, certain lease related assets and liabilities, and indemnification assets. The final determination of the fair value of assets and liabilities was completed within the one-year measurement period as required by ASC 805.
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and intangible net assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been recorded as goodwill. The Company assigned goodwill amounts of approximately $865.6 million to the Inspection and Mitigation segment, respectively. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration transferred and the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Closing Date:
| Total | |
|---|---|
| Cash consideration | $1,871,642 |
| Equity consideration | 4,000 |

|---|---|
| Customer relationships | $670,000 |
| Trade names and trademarks | 100,000 |
| Technology | 5,000 |
| Total intangible assets | $775,000 |
As part of the purchase price allocation, the Company determined the identifiable intangible assets included customer relationships, trade names and trademarks, and technology. The fair value of the customer relationships and trade names and trademarks was estimated using variations of the income approach. The estimated useful lives over which the intangible assets will be amortized are as follows: customer relationships 15 years, trade names and trademarks 15 years, and technology 5 years.
In conjunction with the Acuren Acquisition, the Company incurred approximately $14.0 million of transaction expenses prior to the closing. These costs were expensed as incurred and recognized in the income statement of Admiral Acquisition Limited prior to the business combination. Since the Predecessor period for purposes of these financial statements was deemed to be the historical results of ASP Acuren, these transaction costs are not presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the Predecessor periods. However, these transaction costs are reflected in the Company’s accumulated deficit balance as of July 30, 2024 (Successor). For the period from July 30, 2024 through December 31, 2024 (Successor), the Company incurred approximately $36.0 million of transaction costs in conjunction with or subsequent to the closing of the Acuren Acquisition which were expensed as incurred and included an investment banking success fee in the amount of $11.6 million that was contingent upon the successful closing of the Acuren Acquisition.
For the period from January 1, 2024 through July 29, 2024 (Predecessor), ASP Acuren incurred pre-acquisition transaction costs of approximately $5.2 million of legal and advisory costs recognized in transaction costs in the Predecessor consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). In addition to the transaction costs that were expensed, ASP Acuren incurred and paid investment banking success fees totaling approximately $40.4 million. These fees were contingent upon the successful completion of the Acuren Acquisition and didnot include any future service requirements. As such, these costs are presented “on the line” and are not reflected in either Predecessor or Successor consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). “On the line” describes those expenses triggered by the consummation of a business combination that were incurred by the acquiree, that are not recognized in the results of operations of either the Predecessor or Successor as they are not directly attributable to either period but instead were contingent on the business combination.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information reflects the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 as if the Acuren Acquisition and related financing had occurred as of January 1, 2023, after giving effect to certain purchase accounting and financing adjustments. These amounts are based on financial information of ASP Acuren and is not necessarily indicative of what Company’s operating results would have been had the Acuren Acquisition and related financing taken place on January 1, 2023.
| Year Ended | ||

| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
| Net revenue | $1,097,393 | $1,050,057 |
| Net loss | (26,075) | (155,315) |
Successor and Predecessor periods have been combined in the pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2024 with pro forma adjustments to adjust for the different basis in accounting between the Successor and the Predecessor. Pro forma adjustments to give effect as of January 1, 2023 include additional depreciation and amortization expense to reflect the fair value of identified assets acquired, the effects of financing from the Company’s senior loan facility, adjustments to certain income and expenses, and the income tax impact of these adjustments.

The Company recorded a total $22.2 million of goodwill related to these acquisitions.
2023 Acquisitions (Predecessor Period)
During the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company acquiredone business for total consideration of $6.0 million of cash. The Company recorded $2.6 million of goodwill. The amount of revenues and income before income tax provision from this acquisition was not significant.
NOTE 4. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On December 16, 2024, the Company changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) to the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). The business, assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries were the same immediately after the Domestication as they were immediately prior to the Domestication. As a result of the Domestication, the Company’s ordinary shares and Founder Preferred Shares were converted on aone-to-one basis into shares of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock, respectively, and each holder of a warrant, option or restricted stock unit of the BVI company became a holder of a warrant, option or restricted stock unit of the Delaware company. The number of shares outstanding did not change as a result of the Domestication, and the proportional equity interest of each shareholder remained the same. Shares referred to as ordinary shares and Founder Preferred Shares prior to the Domestication are referred to as common shares and Series A Preferred Shares (“Preferred Shares”), respectively, throughout these consolidated financial statements.
The Company has authorized shares consisting of two classes:500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which 1,000,000 shares are designated as “Series A Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 220,485,045 Common stock and 1,000,000 Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.
Series A Preferred Stock
The Company has 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2025. Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are not mandatorily redeemable and do not embody an unconditional obligation to settle in a variable number of equity shares and are not unconditionally redeemable or conditionally puttable by the holder for cash. As such, shares of Series A Preferred Stock are classified as permanent equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an annual dividend in the form of shares of common stock once the Average Price (as defined in our certificate of incorporation) of the common stock is at least $11.50 per share for any 10 consecutive trading days (the “Annual Dividend Amount”), with such condition having been satisfied during the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Annual Dividend Amount for the first Dividend Period (the year ended December 31, 2025) was equal to 20 percent of the increase in the volume-weighted average market price per share of the Company’s common stock for the last 10 trading days of the calendar year (the “Dividend Price”) over $10.00 per share multiplied by 121,476,215 shares. In subsequent years, the Annual Dividend Amount will be calculated based on the appreciated Dividend Price compared to the highest Dividend Price previously used in calculating the Annual Dividend Amount.
As of December 31, 2025, the Dividend Price was $10.28. The annual dividend was declared as of December 31, 2025, and the Company issued 668,347 shares of our common stock to the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock in January 2026.
Upon the liquidation of the Company, an Annual Dividend Amount shall be payable for the shortened Dividend Period and the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to a pro rata share (together with holder of the common stock) in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company. In the event of a Change of Control, the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, in the aggregate, a one-time dividend equal to the Change of Control Dividend Amount (as defined in our certificate of incorporation).
Holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will participate in any dividends on the common stock on an as converted basis. In addition, if the Company pays a dividend on its common stock, holder of the Series A Preferred Stock will also receive an amount equal to 20 percent of the dividend which would be distributable on 121,476,215 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2025. All such dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be paid at the same time as the dividends on the common stock.
Shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis on December 31, 2034 (the “Conversion”). At the option of the holder, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock until the Conversion. The holder of the Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Company, voting together with the holders of common stock as a single class. The Company followed ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, to account for the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Warrants
Pre-Funded Warrant
On October 5, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the investor named therein (the “Investor”), for the private placement (the “Private Placement”), of (i)17,708,333 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at $12.00 per share and (ii) a pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”) to purchase 3,125,000 shares of common stock, at $11.9999 per share. The aggregate gross proceeds of the Private Placement were approximately $250.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses. The Private Placement closed on October 7, 2025.
The Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock, is immediately exercisable and will remain exercisable until exercised in full. The Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable in cash or by means of a cashless exercise. The Investor may not exercise the Pre-Funded Warrant if the Investor, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise; provided, however, that a holder may increase or decrease such percentage by giving 61 days’ notice to the Company, but not to any percentage in excess of 19.99%.
The Pre-Funded Warrant was classified as a component of permanent stockholders’ equity within additional paid-in capital and was recorded at the issuance date using a relative fair value allocation method.
The Pre-Funded Warrant is equity classified because it (i) is a freestanding financial instrument that is legally detachable and separately exercisable from the equity instrument, (ii) is immediately exercisable, (iii) does not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, (iv) permits the holders to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise, (v) is indexed to the Company’s common stock and (vi) meets the equity classification criteria. The Company valued the Pre-Funded Warrant at issuance, concluding that its sales price approximated its fair value, and allocated net proceeds from the Private Placement proportionately to the Company's common stock and Pre-Funded Warrant.
Public Warrants
In May 2023, in connection with the Company’s initial IPO, the Company issued 54,975,000 Public Warrants to the purchasers of both common shares and Series A Preferred Stock (including the 25,000 Public Warrants that were issued to then independent non-founder directors in connection with their fees). Each Public Warrant is exercisable until three years after the Acuren Acquisition. The Public Warrants are exercisable in multiples offour-for-one shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share of common stock.
The Public Warrants are mandatorily redeemable by the Company at a price of $0.01 should the average market price per share of the common stock exceed $18.00 for 10 consecutive trading days (subject to any prior adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Public Warrants). The Public Warrants expire worthless three years after the Acuren Acquisition, if not exercised or redeemed. Public Warrants issued with common stock were determined to be equity classified in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. During the year ended December 31, 2025,3,312,016 Public Warrants were exercised for 828,004 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 14,952,860 Public Warrants outstanding for approximately 3,738,215 shares of common stock. As of March 6, 2026, the Company had 14,952,860 Public Warrants outstanding for approximately 3,738,215 shares of common stock.
2024 Capital Raise
Concurrently with the close of the Acuren Acquisition on July 30, 2024, the Company raised cash proceeds of $666.6 million, net of issuance cost of $3.7 million, from the issuance of 58,259,984 shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per share (the “PIPE Financing”) and early exercise of 36,710,124 Public Warrants at $10.00 per share of Common Stock (the “Warrant Financing”). Additionally, the Company issued $4.0 million of Common Stock as purchase consideration in conjunction with the Acuren Acquisition.
In connection with the Warrant Financing, the Company modified certain Public Warrants in May 2024. The modified Public Warrants were not considered to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore, accounted for as a derivative. The modified Public Warrants were initially and subsequently remeasured at their fair value until they were exercised and settled at the close of the Acuren Acquisition through the Warrant Financing. A cumulative loss of $3.5 million related to the change in the fair value of the modified Public Warrants from the initial recognition on May 22, 2024 through the final settlement on July 30, 2024 was included in the accumulated deficit of the Successor as of July 30, 2024.
In connection with the PIPE Financing, the Company received commitments from a limited group of institutional shareholders which were accounted for as contingent forward contracts, initially and subsequently recognized at their fair value until they were settled through the issuance of the related common stock at the close of the Acuren Acquisition. A cumulative loss of $15.6 million related to the change in the fair value of the contingent forward contracts from the initial recognition on May 22, 2024 through the final settlement on July 30, 2024 was included in the accumulated deficit of the Successor as of July 30, 2024.
NOTE 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income is allocated between the Company’s common stock and other participating securities (excluding unvested restricted stock awards) based on their participation rights. The Company has determined that its Series A Preferred Stock represent participating securities and are a class of common stock. As such, the Company uses the two-class method of computing earnings per share. Under this method, net income (or loss) is allocated between the holders of common stock and the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock based on their respective participation rights.
Given that holders of Series A Preferred Stock participate in net losses on a 1:1 basis with holders of common stock, the allocation of net losses under the two-class method is equivalent to the allocation of net losses that would result under the if-converted method. Consequently, there is no difference between basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock, which also excludes all potential common stock equivalents as their impact on diluted net loss per share would be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted loss per share of common stock and Series A Preferred Stock using the two-class method and the if-converted method, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period July 30 through December 31, 2024.

| Diluted loss per common stock | $(0.60) | $(0.86) |
| Diluted income (loss) per Series A Preferred Stock | $6.16 | $(0.86) |
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the accrued Series A Preferred Stock dividend was excluded from the numerator of diluted earnings per share as the impact would have been anti-dilutive. For the year ended December 31, 2025 and the period July 30 through December 31, 2024, the Company excluded the following potentially dilutive shares from the computation of diluted loss per common stock as the impact would have been anti-dilutive:
| Successor | ||
|---|---|---|
| Potentially dilutive securities | Year Ended December 31, 2025 | July 30 through December 31, 2024 |
| Stock options | 1,457 | 125,000 |

| Restricted stock awards | 1,562,849 | — |
| Restricted stock units | 1,917,111 | 1,605,000 |
Basic and diluted loss per common share for the periods presented below were calculated as follows:

For the period January 1 through July 29, 2024, and the year ended December 31, 2023,228,522 and 100,413 potentially dilutive shares related to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive.
Additionally, the Company had outstanding stock options that were eligible to vest on achievement of certain market thresholds upon a change of control. For the Predecessor period ended July 29, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, the contingently issuable potential shares were excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as the contingency was not met as of the end of the reporting periods. These excluded shares were as follows:
| Outstanding as of | ||
|---|---|---|
| July 29, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
| Tranche B Options | 180,828 | 186,933 |

NOTE 6. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND CONTRACT ASSETS
Accounts receivable and contract assets are recorded net of allowances for credit losses. Accounts receivable represent invoiced and accrued revenue while contract assets represent accrued revenue that has yet to be invoiced to the customer. The Company’s accounts receivable, contract assets and allowance for credit losses consisted of the following as of the below dates:
| Successor | ||

NOTE 10. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER LIABILITIES
Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities
The Company’s accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following as of the below dates:
| Successor | ||
|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
| Accrued salaries, wages and related employee benefits | $58,655 | $37,996 |

| Other accrued expenses | 22,785 | 11,879 |
| Total accrued expenses and other current liabilities | $151,626 | $66,041 |
Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration arrangements are included as part of the purchase price of acquired companies on their respective acquisition dates. The Company estimates the fair value of contingent earn-out payments as part of the initial purchase price and records the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration payments are included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2025(Successor), the Company acquired contingent consideration of $9.3 million in the NV5 Acquisition and added $2.8 million related to other 2025 acquisitions. During the year ended December 31, 2025(Successor), the Company recorded fair value re-measurements of $1.5 million that increased the liability. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, the Company had $13.6 million of contingent consideration recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, including $8.6 million reflected as current. As of December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any contingent consideration.
NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company performs fair value measurements by determining the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
| Level 1 — | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement dates for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
|---|---|
| Level 2 — | Quoted prices for markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
| Level 3 — | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity). |
If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within the different levels described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values because of their short maturity. The fair values of the Company’s revolving line of credit facilities and long-term debt approximate their carrying value as they are based on current lending rates for similar borrowings, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity, and considering the collateral. The fair values of the Company’s finance lease obligations approximate their carrying amounts based on anticipated interest rates which management believes would currently be available to the Company for similar issuances of debt.
The Company reviews and re-assesses the estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities on a quarterly basis and the updated fair value could differ from the initial estimates. The Company measures contingent consideration recognized in connection with business combinations at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 inputs. The Company generally uses an option-based model or a probability-weighted approach to determine the fair value of earn-outs based on key inputs requiring significant judgments and estimates to be made by the Company, including projections of future earnings over the earn-out period. Significant increases or decreases to these inputs could result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount paid, and the difference between the fair value estimate as of the acquisition date and amount paid will be recorded in earnings.
The fair value of the Predecessor’s interest rate swap agreements, existing as of Predecessor periods December 31, 2023 and terminated during the Predecessor period ended July 29, 2024, were determined using standard pricing models and market-based assumptions for all significant inputs, such as yield curves and quoted spot and forward exchange rates. This fair value measurement is based on inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly and thus represents a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. Refer to “Note 13. Financial Instruments” for further details on the accounting treatment of the swap agreements.
NOTE 12. LONG-TERM DEBT
The Company’s long-term debt obligations consisted of the following:
| Successor | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Maturity Date | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |

2024 Credit Agreement
The Company is party to a credit agreement by and among Acuren Delaware Holdco, Inc. (f/k/a AAL Delaware Holdco, Inc.), a wholly-owned subsidiary, as the initial borrower, Acuren Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a ASP Acuren Holdings, Inc.), as a borrower, and any other subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto as borrowers, (collectively, the “Borrowers”), the guarantors from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $775.0 million seven-year senior secured term loan (the “2024 Term Loan”) under the senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $75.0 million five-year senior Revolving Credit Facility, of which up to $20.0 million can be used for the issuance of letters of credit (together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facility”).
The Credit Facility contains certain customary negative operating covenants (certain of which are not applicable depending on net leverage ratios), customary restrictive covenants and other customary provisions relating to events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest or fees, breach of covenants, misrepresentations, insolvency proceedings, cross default to other indebtedness of the Borrowers and its subsidiaries in excess of $40.0 million or judgments from creditors of such amount, change of control, and certain events relating to Employee Retirement Income Security Act plans.
Solely with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Credit Facility contains a financial covenant for the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio to be tested as of the last day of any such fiscal quarter only in the event that the total outstanding (excluding undrawn Letters of Credit) is greater than 35% of the total Revolving Credit Commitment, in which case the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio may exceed 5.85 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Facility.
Obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by the Company and substantially all of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility are secured on a first priority basis by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the present and future property (subject to certain exceptions) of the Borrower and each guarantor.
Repricing of Term Loan
On January 31, 2025, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the interest rate margins for the Term Loan decreased from 2.50% to 1.75% for the base rate and from 3.50% to 2.75% for the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), adjusted for statutory reserves. All other material terms of the Credit Agreement, including the aggregate principal amount, repayment terms, and interest rate applicable on the revolving credit facility available under the Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) remained the same. The Company evaluated the change of terms under ASC 470-50, Debt–Modifications and Extinguishments, and concluded the change in terms did not result in significant and consequential changes to the economic substance of the debt and thus resulted in a modification of the debt and not an extinguishment of the debt. As such, the financing costs of $1.2 million were reflected as additional debt issuance costs and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Term Loan.
Second Amendment to Credit Agreement
On August 4, 2025, in connection with the NV5 Acquisition, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to: (i) include new term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $875.0 million (the “2025 Term Loans,” and together with the 2024 Term Loans, the “Term Loans”), and (ii) increase the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Facility from $75.0 million to $125.0 million. Principal payments on the Term Loans, commenced on September 30, 2025 and will be made in quarterly installments on the last day of each fiscal quarter in an amount equal to $4.1 million, subject to adjustments in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025 (Successor), the Company has reflected $16.5 million of principal payments as current in the consolidated balance sheet.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $1.6 billion of principal outstanding under the Term Loans. The interest rate applicable to the Term Loans is, at the Company’s option, either: (1) a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.75% or (2) SOFR plus an applicable margin equal to 2.75%. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $4.8 million of amortization expense related to debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Term Loans. The Term Loans will mature on July 30, 2031.
Revolving Credit Facility
The interest rate applicable to borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is, at the Company’s option, either a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 2.50% or SOFR (adjusted for statutory reserves) plus an applicable margin equal to 3.50%. The unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee of 0.375% or 0.50% based on the Company’s first lien net leverage ratio. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the amortization expense related to debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility wasimmaterial. As of December 31, 2025 (Successor) and December 31, 2024 (Successor), the Company hadno amounts outstanding under its Revolving Credit Facility.
Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $13.9 million in stand-by letters of credit issued (as a component of the Revolving Credit Facility), but did not withdraw any amount against the letters of credit. Additionally, the Company had $1.5 million in surety bonds outstanding, which are not a component of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Promissory Notes
The Company has outstanding uncollateralized promissory notes due to sellers issued in connection with prior acquisitions completed by NV5 prior to its acquisition by the Company. As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), the short-term and long-term outstanding balances of these promissory notes totaled $9.0 million and $6.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), the Company’s weighted average interest rate on promissory notes was 1.6%.
2019 Credit Agreement
On December 20, 2019, the Predecessor entered into a credit agreement (the “2019 ASP Acuren Credit Agreement”). The 2019 ASP Acuren Credit Agreement was collateralized by all of the Predecessor’s assets. The 2019 ASP Acuren Credit Agreement provided for an initial term loan of $430.0 million and was amended on January 23, 2020, November 19, 2021, and August 15, 2023, providing an additional $15.0 million, $100.0 million and $170.0 million of principal under the term loan. The term loan would have matured on January 23, 2027 and provided for interest at a variable rate which consists of the base rate, as defined in the agreement, plus a SOFR-based applicable rate, which can vary between 3.0% and 4.5% depending on the type of term loan.
Under the 2019 ASP Acuren Credit Agreement, the Predecessor was subject to certain financial and nonfinancial covenants which place restrictions on leverage ratios, among other things. In addition, commencing with the year ending December 31, 2020, the 2019 ASP Acuren Credit Agreement required mandatory prepayments of the consolidated excess cash flows, as defined in the agreement, if certain cash flow targets were met.
As a result of the Acuren Acquisition, the outstanding amounts under the 2019 ASP Acuren Credit Agreement were paid off and the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs related to the revolving line of credit were extinguished.
Future Contractual Maturities
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had the following future contractual maturities of long-term debt:
| Year | Amount |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $25,511 |
| 2027 | 19,737 |
| 2028 | 18,410 |
| 2029 | 17,715 |
| 2030 | 16,525 |
| Thereafter | 1,553,310 |
| Total | $1,651,208 |
NOTE 13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s risk management strategy from time to time utilizes interest rate swap agreements to mitigate interest rate exposure on its variable rate debt. The Company has not historically designated these derivatives as hedging instruments and reported these agreements at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded within “Interest expense, net” within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the reporting period in which the unrealized gains and losses occurred. During the Successor period ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no interest rate agreements. All historical agreements were terminated during the Predecessor period ended July 29, 2024.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company hadtwo interest rate agreements acting collectively as a collar with an interest rate floor of 0% and an interest rate cap of 1.92% intended to mitigate the Company’s exposure to an increase in its variable interest rate above 2.375% related to an initial notional amount of $333.8 million of its variable rate debt obligations. If the variable interest rate component exceeds the benchmark amount, the intended effect was to convert the variable interest rate of the notional debt amount to a fixed interest rate.
On March 23, 2023, the Company renegotiated, in advance, a new instrument commencing on February 29, 2024, acting as a collar of a notional amount of $400.0 million, with an interest rate floor of 2.2% and an interest rate cap of 5.0% intended to further mitigate the Company’s exposure to increases in its variable interest rates on its term loans. During the Successor period ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, both interest rate instruments were terminated. During the years ended December 31, 2023, the change in the fair value of outstanding interest rate agreements resulted in a net unrealized loss of $7.8 million, which is included within interest expense, net. Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2023 the Company recognized $11.1 million of realized gains relating to interest rate instruments in interest expense, net.

(1) State taxes in California, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Texas made up the majority (greater than 50 percent) of the tax effect in this category.
The income tax benefit of $11.1 million for the year is less than the statutory rate primarily drive by non-deductible expenses, impacts of foreign tax rates and withholding taxes. These are partially offset by R&D tax credits generated during the year.

Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) is a tax on income that is earned by certain foreign affiliates owned by a U.S. shareholder. GILTI is generally intended to impose tax on the earnings of a foreign corporation that are deemed to exceed a certain threshold return relative to the underlying business investment. The Company has determined that due to the statutory high tax exception related to foreign earnings, there wasno impact of GILTI for the years ended December 31, 2024 (Successor) and 2023 (Predecessor) and $0.1 million for the period ended December 31, 2025.

At December 31, 2025 the Company’s net deferred income tax balance within the consolidated balance sheet consisted of long-term deferred tax assets of approximately $1.4 million and long term deferred tax liabilities of approximately $223.0 million. At December 31, 2024, the balance consisted of long term deferred tax assets of approximately $0.8 million and long term deferred tax liabilities of approximately $150.7 million.
The Company evaluated and considered all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets was needed. The deferred tax assets are composed principally of net operating loss carryforwards and 163(j) interest limitation carryforwards. Based on available evidence, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $12.6 million as of July 29, 2024. As a result of the Admiral acquisition and the new basis of accounting, the Company assessed and determined a valuation allowance was not necessary in the Successor period. The release of the $12.6 million allowance had no impact on the Predecessor or Successor provision (benefit) for income taxes. We will continue to monitor the evidence and the realizability of our deferred tax assets in future periods. Should evidence regarding the realizability of our deferred tax assets change at a future point in time, we will adjust the valuation allowance as required.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had U.S. federal income tax net operating losses (“NOLs”) of approximately $160.3 million and $67.9 million, respectively. The federal NOLs do not expire as they have an indefinite carryforward period. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had U.S. state income tax NOLs of approximately $92.3 million and $14.9 million, respectively, of which $33.6 million have an indefinite carryforward period and remainder will begin to expire in 2026. In addition, the Company had foreign NOLs of approximately $2.1 million and $1.6 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which will begin to expire in 2028. The Company had U.S. interest expense carryforwards of $191.6 million and $132.2 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which can be carried forward indefinitely.
For U.S. federal tax purposes, the tax years 2022 and after remain open and subject to examination. For most U.S. state tax purposes, tax years 2021 and after remain open and subject to examination. For Canadian federal tax purposes, tax years 2021 and after remain subject to examination.
The Company provides for income and withholding taxes on previously unremitted foreign earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries. At December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued a deferred tax liability of $1.8 million of withholding taxes that would be due upon the distribution of such earnings from the non-U.S. subsidiaries to the U.S.
The Company has unrecognized tax benefits of $8.4 million at December 31, 2025 and $4.8 million at December 31, 2024. The following table summarizes the change in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties:
| Successor · Predecessor | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Year Ended December 31, 2025 | July 30 through December 31, 2024 | January 1 through July 29, 2024 | |
| Balance, beginning of period | $4,828 | $13,976 | $15,667 |
| Additions for tax positions related to the current year | 480 | — | — |
| Additions for tax positions from prior years | 3,694 | — | — |
| Statutes of limitations expirations | (563) | (9,148) | (1,691) |
| Balance, end of period | $8,439 | $4,828 | $13,976 |
At November 14, 2022, the Company recorded a $14.5 million unrecognized tax benefit on its balance sheet as long-term tax payable related to the pre-acquisition tax exposures on Versa, a prior year acquisition. The Company is fully indemnified for any future realization of the liability through escrow funding and, as such, has also recorded a long-term asset of $14.5 million. On July 29, 2024, the Company released $1.7 million of the unrecognized tax benefit as a result of the expiration of the statue of limitations. In addition, on December 31, 2024 the Company released an additional $8.4 million of the unrecognized tax benefit related to Versa also as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations. The corresponding long-term asset of $14.5 million was also reduced by $1.7 million and $8.4 million for the corresponding periods, respectively. In addition, the Company reduced the reserve by an additional $0.7 million as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations on state tax returns as of December 31, 2024. At August 4, 2025, the Company recorded a $3.7 million unrecognized tax benefit related to pre-acquisition tax exposures of NV5. On December 31, 2025, the Company recorded an additional $0.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits for the current year and released $0.6 million as a result of the expiration of the statue of limitations. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense, which was not significant during the Successor period ending December 31, 2024 and the Predecessor period ending December 31, 2023, respectively.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for companies with global revenues and profits above certain thresholds (referred to as Pillar 2), with rules effective beginning in 2024 and expanding in 2025. Several jurisdictions in which the Company operates have enacted Pillar 2 legislation, while others continue to advance implementation; the U.S. has not adopted the rules. On January 5, 2026, the OECD/G20 released the Side-by-Side package, which provides administrative simplifications and new safe harbors, including exemptions from two of the three top-up taxes for qualifying U.S. parented groups and an extension of the Transitional Country-by-Country Reporting Safe Harbor through 2027. The Company is monitoring these developments and evaluating potential impacts. Based on current information, the Company has considered Pillar 2 tax within the provision for income taxes and does not expect Pillar 2 to have a material effect on its effective tax rate or consolidated financial statements.
On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” was enacted into law. The legislation includes changes to federal tax law, including the restoration of immediate expensing of domestic R&D expenditures, reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation and more favorable rules for determining the limitation on business interest expense, among other changes. The legislation is reflected in the annual effective rate and the cash tax position of the Company. The legislation resulted in a reduction in cash tax paid in 2025 and no material impact on the annual effective rate.
NOTE 15. LEASES
The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception, which is the date on which the terms of the contract are agreed to, and the agreement creates enforceable rights and obligations. Under ASC 842, a contract is or contains a lease when (i) explicitly or implicitly identified assets have been deployed in the contract and (ii) the customer obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset and directs how and for what purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. The Company also considers whether its service arrangements include the right to control the use of an asset.
The Company leases real estate facilities from unrelated parties under operating lease agreements that have initial terms ranging fromone to 20 years. The Company also leases vehicles under finance lease agreements with initial terms offour tofive years. Accordingly, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset representing the right to use an underlying asset and a lease liability representing the obligation to make lease payments over the lease term for substantially all leases with a lease term greater than 12 months.
| Successor · Predecessor | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year Ended December 31, 2025 | July 30 through December 31, 2024 | January 1 through July 29, 2024 | Year Ended December 31, 2023 | |
| Operating lease cost | $16,703 | $3,667 | $5,736 | $8,813 |

| Total lease cost | $36,207 | $10,486 | $14,016 | $20,638 |
Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded primarily in selling, general, and administrative expenses. Finance lease cost is recognized as a combination of the amortization expense for the ROU assets and interest expense for the outstanding lease liabilities, and results in a front-loaded expense pattern over the lease term. The components of lease expense are as follows:

NOTE 16. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Retirement Plans
The Company provides a 401(k) savings plan for eligible U.S. based employees. Employee contributions are discretionary up to the IRS prescribed limits; however, catch up contributions are allowed for employees 50 years of age or older. The plan provides for discretionary employer matching contributions. During the year ended December 31, 2025 and during the period July 30 to December 31, 2024, the Company recognized expense of $5.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. For the period from January 1 through July 29, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized expense of $2.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively.
The Company’s Canadian subsidiaries provide registered retirement savings plans (“RRSP”). Employee and employer matching contributions are discretionary. The Company expensed $2.6 million and $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 and during the period July 30 to December 31, 2024. The Company expensed $1.3 million and $1.9 million during the period from January 1 through July 29, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
The Company participates in multiemployer retirement plans that provide defined benefits to certain employees covered by unionized collective bargaining agreements. Such plans are generally administered by the local labor representative of the respective union. The Company expensed $0.6 million and $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 and during the period July 30 to December 31, 2024. The Company expensed $0.2 million and $0.4 million during the period from January 1 through July 29, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
The Company’s Canadian operations are inherently highly unionized. The majority of Canadian direct employees belong to the Quality Control Council of Canada (“QCCC”), a union specifically dedicated to NDT professionals. The Company made employer contributions to the QCCC pension on behalf of its employees in the amounts of $12.1 million and $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and during the period July 30 to December 31, 2024, respectively, and $6.8 million and $11.4 million during the period from January 1 through July 29, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company’s U.S. contributions are less than 5% of the total contributions in each plan it participates in. The Company’s percentage of contributions to the plan is not readily available public information. The future cost of these plans is dependent on several factors including the funded status of the plans and the ability of the participating employers to meet their ongoing funding obligations. If the Company voluntarily withdraws or is deemed to partially withdraw, or there is a mass employer withdrawal from the plan, the Company would be obligated to pay additional contributions for its proportionate share of the unfunded vested liability at that time.
NOTE 17. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted Stock Units
Awards of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are independent of stock option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. The Company’s RSU’s consist ofthree types: time-based units, market-based units and performance-based units, that are settled in shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting.
The time-based awards issued to the Company’s employees vest either (i) in equal installments over athree-year service period from the grant date or (ii) cliff vest at the end of athree-year service period from the grant date. The time-based RSUs issued to the Company’s directors vest at the end of the anniversary date of their grant date. The market-based RSUs issued to the Company’s employees vest upon the later of the (i) first anniversary of the grant date and (ii) the calendar day following the 10 consecutive trading day period during which the VWAP of the Company’s common stock reaches $20.00 per share, which must be achieved before the fifth anniversary of the grant date. The performance-based RSUs issued to the Company’s employees vest based on the attainment of performance-based targets as outlined in the award grant notice over athree-year performance period.
The grant-date fair values of the time-based units and the performance-based units were determined based on the fair value of the underlying common stock on the grant date. The grant-date fair value of the market-based units was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation method which takes into consideration different stock price paths. The significant assumptions used to determine the fair value included volatility of 35% and a risk-free interest rate of 3.37%.
Below is a summary of the activities of RSUs for the Successor periods ended December 31, 2025 and July 30 through December 31, 2024:
| Time Vesting Units | Market Vesting Units | Performance Vesting | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Units | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | Number of Units | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | Number of Units | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | |

| Unvested as of December 31, 2025 | 944,202 | $9.76 | 555,000 | $5.35 | 984,321 | $9.38 |
Share-based compensation expense is recorded in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Share-based compensation expense for the Company’s RSUs during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $7.0 million, consisting of $3.6 million for time-based RSU’s, $1.1 million for market-based RSUs, and $2.3 million for performance-based RSU’s. Share-based compensation expense for the Company’s RSUs during the period from July 30 through December 31, 2024 was $1.5 million, consisting of $1.0 million for time-based RSU’s and $0.5 million for market-based RSUs,
As of December 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense for time-based RSUs was $7.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years. As of December 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense for market-based RSUs was $1.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.2 years. As of December 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense for performance-based RSUs was $6.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.1 years.
Restricted Stock Awards
NV5 historically granted restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) to its employees. The RSAs generally provided for service-based cliff vesting aftertwo tofour years following the grant date. In connection with the NV5 Acquisition, all outstanding unvested RSAs otherwise not accelerated upon the NV5 Closing Date were converted into RSAs of the Company with substantially similar terms and conditions of the previously existing awards, including future service requirements. The RSAs were replaced based on an exchange ratio of 2.0387, which was calculated in the same manner as the exchange ratio that was applicable to the NV5 common stock outstanding on the NV5 Closing Date and that received merger consideration on the NV5 Closing Date.
The following summarizes the activity of restricted stock awards during the year ended December 31, 2025.
| Number of Unvested Restricted Stock Awards | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested as of December 31, 2024 | — | $— |
| Restricted stock awards issued for converted NV5 awards in conjunction with the NV5 Acquisition | 7,280,777 | $10.50 |
| Forfeited | (182,355) | $10.50 |
| Vested | (139,993) | $10.50 |
| Unvested as of December 31, 2025 | 6,958,429 | $10.50 |
Share-based compensation expense relating to RSAs during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $10.2 million. Share-based compensation expense includes $0.6 million of expense related to the Company’s liability-classified awards during the year ended December 31, 2025. The total estimated amount of the liability-classified awards for fiscal 2025 is approximately $6.6 million. As of December 31, 2025, the total unrecognized share-based compensation expense for RSAs was $36.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years. The total fair value of RSAs vested during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1.4 million.
Cash Settlement of Tranche C Options
As stipulated in the merger agreement for the Acuren Acquisition, all unvested stock options were immediately vested on the ASP Closing Date, including the Tranche C stock options which would not have otherwise become exercisable due to the market condition not being achieved. Both U.S. and Canadian holders of Tranche C stock options (including the director as discussed below) received cash proceeds totaling $7.4 million at the ASP Closing Date, which was recognized as day-one compensation expense recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive income (loss) in the Successor period. See section “Predecessor Period—Stock Option Plans and Stock Grants” below for details of the compensation plan.
Series A Preferred Stock
Because the annual dividend amount associated with the Series A Preferred Stock (formerly known as the Founder Preferred Shares) is determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock, the Company has determined the Series A Preferred Stock is akin to a market condition award settled in shares. The grant-date fair value of any potential future Annual Dividend amounted to approximately $72.8 million, which was measured using the Monte Carlo method and took into consideration different share price paths.
As the right to the annual dividend amount would only be triggered upon an acquisition, an event not considered probable until consummated, no expense was recognized before then. The Acuren Acquisition met the definition of an acquisition. Therefore, at the ASP Closing Date, the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash compensation expense of approximately $62.3 million, based on the grant-date fair value, net of cash consideration of $10.5 million received from the Founder Entity at the issuance. See “Note 4. Stockholders’ Equity” for further discussion.
Share Options
On May 22, 2023, the Company issued 125,000 share options to its then Independent Non-Founder Directors to purchase common stock (formerly, ordinary shares) of the Company (the “Share Options”). The Share Options have an exercise price of $11.50 per share of common stock, subject to such adjustment as the Directors consider appropriate in accordance with the terms of the option agreements, and a performance condition of vesting on an acquisition, which such vesting occurred upon the ASP Closing Date. The grant-date fair value of the Share Options was estimated at $1.647 per share. The Acuren Acquisition met the definition of an acquisition and as a result, the Company recognized a one-time, non-cash compensation expense of $0.2 million.
Common Stock Awards
During the Successor period ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued 63,700 shares of fully vested Common Stock to a selected group of employees to retain and reward their employment services and assumed the associated tax liability. As a result, the Company recognized compensation expense of $0.6 million.
Stock Option Plans and Stock Grants
On May 17, 2024, the Company reached an agreement with a member of the Company’s Board of Directors to make a one-time cash payment equal to two times the amount of share-based compensation awards entitled at the close of the Acuren Acquisition. In exchange,42,240 shares of Tranche A Options,21,120 shares of Tranche B Options, and 12,367 shares of Tranche C Options were forfeited. This transaction resulted in a modification to the share-based compensation awards from equity to liability classification. Because the completion of the Acuren Acquisition was not deemed probable until the actual consummation, no liability was recognized and no change to accounting made as of June 30, 2024. At the close of the Acuren Acquisition, the Company made a total cash payment of $20.8 million to the director to settle the related liability, resulting in incremental compensation expenses of $19.5 million. $17.8 million of the incremental compensation expenses were related to his Tranche A and Tranche B Options where would have become fully vested based on their original vesting conditions. Because the recognition of the expenses was triggered by the consummation of the Acuren Acquisition, they will be presented “on the line” and will not be reflected in either predecessor or successor financial statement periods. The remaining amount was related to his Tranche C Options and recognized as day-one expenses during the successor financial statement period. See further discussion in Successor section above.
On June 20, 2024 (the “Modification Date”), the Company’s Board of Directors decided to accelerate the vesting of all outstanding stock options held by its Canadian employees and make them fully exercisable effective as of June 20, 2024. Stock options that were impacted consisted of 157,844 shares of Tranche A Options,75,656 shares of Tranche B Options, and 28,824 shares of Tranche C Options. The Company applied the modification accounting under ASC 718 and accounted for the change to the vesting condition of Tranche A Options as a Type I (Probable-to-Probable) modification and the change to Tranche B and C Options as a Type III (Improbable-to-Probable) modification. On the Modification Date, unrecognized compensation expense of $1.2 million related to Tranche A Options was immediately recognized. Additionally, the Company recognized compensation expense of $14.8 million for the aggregated incremental fair value transferred to holders of Tranche A, B, and C Options, measured as of the Modification date, as a result of the acceleration of their vesting.
Subsequent to the modification on June 24, 2024, a significant number of eligible Canadian employees exercised their vested Tranche A, B, and C Options to purchase 262,324 shares of common stock and paid the exercise price with a non-recourse promissory note (“Promissory Note”). The aggregated principal amount of Promissory Notes from employees was $28.3 million, consisting of $19.6 million for exercise prices and $8.7 million for withholding taxes. The Promissory Notes are secured by the equity interest in the common stock, bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum (increased by 3% on an event of default), and are payable on Maturity Date which is defined as the earlier of (i) the date of the closing of (x) the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 21, 2024, or (y) any other change of control, (ii) the termination of employment of the Holder, and (iii) the date that isthree years from the date of the Promissory Notes. The exercises of these options were not considered substantive until the Promissory Notes were repaid at the close of the Acuren Acquisition on July 30, 2024.
At the close of the Acuren Acquisition on July 30, 2024, Tranche A and B stock options held by U.S. employees and certain Canadian employees whose options were not modified in June 2024 became fully vested based on their original vesting conditions and their Tranche C stock options satisfied the original performance condition but failed to meet the market condition. As a result, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense of $10.0 million associated with these options at the time of the close was immediately recognized. Because the recognition of the expense was triggered by the consummation of the Acuren Acquisition, they will be presented “on the line” and will not be reflected in either predecessor or successor financial statement periods.
For the period ended July 29, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded approximately $17.9 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of stock compensation expense, which is included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses”.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of options with service only vesting conditions and the Monte Carlo valuation model to determine the fair value of the option grants with market vesting condition. The following assumptions were used to value the options issued during the years ended December 31, 2023 and options modified during the period ended July 29, 2024:

NOTE 18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in matters that involve various claims which have arisen in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe any liabilities that may arise as a result of such claims will have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on its business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
NOTE 19. SEGMENT REPORTING
Effective August 4, 2025, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), re-evaluated the structure of the Company’s internal organization as a result of the NV5 Acquisition. To reflect management’s revised perspective, the Company is now organized into three reportable segments as follows:
Inspection and Mitigation, which includes the Company’s legacy testing, inspection, certification and compliance services in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom;
Consulting Engineering, which includes the Company’s engineering, civil program management, utility services, conformity assessment, clean energy consulting, data center commissioning and consulting, buildings and program management, MEP & technology design, and environmental health science services; and
Geospatial, which includes the Company’s geospatial solution services.
The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described under “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” The CODM evaluates the performance of these reportable segments based on their respective gross profit. The CODM considers budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating resources. The CODM does not regularly review capital expenditures by segment. The following tables set forth certain financial information for each of the Company’s reportable segments for the periods indicated:
