In connection with the extensive investment of time and resources we have made in the automation of certain components of our business, we are now realizing, and expect to continue to realize, productivity improvements that have reduced estimated costs to complete for certain projects in process. Accordingly, management revised estimated costs to complete for those projects, which, consistent with the Company's revenue recognition policy, resulted in cumulative catch-up adjustments that increased gross contract revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

The majority of our assignments within a contract are lump sum in nature, representing approximately 54% of gross contract revenue for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to approximately 61% and 59% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. However, when evaluated at the overall contract or project level, approximately 92% and 92% of gross contract revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, was recognized over time. Comparable percentages for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were 92% and 91%, respectively. This difference reflects the presence of both hourly and lump sum assignments within individual contracts. Recognizing revenue from lump sum assignments requires management estimates of both total contract value when there are contingent compensation elements of the fee arrangement and expected cost at completion. We closely monitor our progress to completion and adjust our estimates when necessary. We do not recognize revenue from work that is performed at risk with no documented customer commitment.

Building Infrastructure includes commercial, municipal and residential infrastructure. The increase in building infrastructure revenue was the result of acquisitions and organic growth.

With the convergence of renewable energy with traditional transmission infrastructure and the continued growth we are projecting in the clean energy transition, we have consolidated renewable energy into the power, utilities and energy category (sometimes referred to herein as the power, utilities and energy market) of our revenue mix and have adjusted historical balances accordingly. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, revenue from power, utilities, and energy increased $10.2 million or 38.0% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The additional increase in gross contract revenue from the power, utilities, and energy market is principally attributable to acquisitions and increased revenue associated with the expansion of a multi-year utility undergrounding assignment in Florida, and to increases derived from gas pipeline and electric transmission projects nationally. Within the power, utilities, and energy market, 56.9% of our gross contract revenue was derived from customers operating traditional transmission operations, 18.4% was derived from customers focused on alternative energy operations and 24.7% derived from data center customers. The power, utilities, and energy market continues to experience increasing infrastructure investment as changing weather patterns, energy transition mandates and other safety initiatives positively impact demand for the services we provide. Based on recent increases in program commitments within the gas pipeline replacement market, we believe trends in power, utilities, and energy provide meaningful opportunity for continued growth and we are committed to investing resources accordingly.

Our natural resources and imaging (formerly emerging markets) consist of mining, water resources, imaging and mapping, environmental consulting, and other natural resources services. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, revenue from natural resources markets increased $9.5 million or 67.2% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Gross contract revenue within natural resources was 64.3% from imaging and mapping activities, 13.3% from mining activities where we have specialized in copper mining, 19.3% from water resources activities, and 3.1% from environmental and other natural resources consulting. Scarcities in water resources and the increasing need for water management gives us confidence that we will be able to increase revenue accordingly. With recent and future acquisitions, we expect to experience continued growth from investment in various natural resources.

With the convergence of alternative energy, data centers, and traditional transmission infrastructure, and in light of continued growth we are projecting across these areas, we have consolidated alternative energy and data centers into the power and utilities (sometimes referred to herein as the power, utilities and energy market) of our revenue mix and have adjusted historical balances accordingly.

Within the power and utilities market, 58.8% of our gross contract revenue was derived from customers operating traditional transmission operations, 18.4% was derived from customers focused on alternative energy operations, with the remaining 22.8% derived from data center customers. The power and utilities market continues to experience increasing infrastructure investment as changing weather patterns, energy transition mandates and other safety initiatives positively impact demand for the services we provide. Based on recent increases in program commitments within the gas pipeline replacement market, we believe trends in power and utilities provide meaningful opportunity for continued growth and we are committed to investing resources accordingly.
