Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Arcosa,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions with leading brands serving construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets in North America. Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2018 as an independent, publicly-traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements present our historical financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income/loss, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Stockholders' Equity
In December 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a new $50.0 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026 to replace a program of the same amount that expired on December 31, 2024. Under the previous program, the Company did not repurchase any shares during the year ended December 2024, and repurchased 200,000 shares at a cost of $13.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured based on the allocation of the transaction price in a contract to satisfied performance obligations. The transaction price does not include any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue, separated by reportable segments. Payments for our products and services are generally due within normal commercial terms. For a further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 4 Segment Information.
Construction Products
The Construction Products segment recognizes substantially all revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Engineered Structures
Within the Engineered Structures segment, revenue is recognized for wind towers and certain utility structures over time as the products are manufactured using an input approach based on the costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs of production. We recognize revenue over time for these products as they are highly customized to the needs of an individual customer resulting in no alternative use to the Company if not purchased by the customer after the contract is executed. In addition, we have the right to bill the customer for our work performed to date plus at least a reasonable profit margin for work performed. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had a contract asset of $65.5 million and $66.8 million, respectively, which is included in receivables, net of allowance, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in the contract asset is attributed to the timing of deliveries of finished structures to customers during the period. For all other products, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Transportation Products
The Transportation Products segment recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of December 31, 2024 and the percentage of the outstanding performance obligations as of December 31, 2024 expected to be delivered during 2025:
| Unsatisfied performance obligations at | |
|---|---|
| December 31, 2024 | |
| TotalAmount | |
| (in millions) | |
| Engineered Structures: | |
| Utility, wind, and related structures | $1,190.8 |
| Transportation Products: | |
| Inland barges | $280.1 |
Approximately 64% of the unsatisfied performance obligations for our utility, wind, and related structures in our Engineered Structures segment are expected to be delivered during 2025, approximately 13% are expected to be delivered during 2026, and the remainder are expected to be delivered through 2028. Approximately 92% of the unsatisfied performance obligations for inland barges in our Transportation Products segment are expected to be delivered during 2025, and the remainder are expected to be delivered in 2026.
The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.
The Company regularly evaluates the likelihood of realization of tax benefits derived from positions it has taken in various federal and state filings after consideration of all relevant facts, circumstances, and available information. For those tax positions that are deemed more likely than not to be sustained, the Company recognizes the benefit it believes is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of recorded reserves, the effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially impacted.
Financial Instruments
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments to be cash and cash equivalents if purchased with a maturity of three months or less. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and receivables. The Company places its cash investments in bank deposits and highly-rated money market funds, and its investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. We seek to limit concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables with control procedures that monitor the credit worthiness of customers, together with the large number of customers in the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. As receivables are generally unsecured, the Company maintains an allowance based upon the expected credit losses. Receivable balances determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. To accelerate the conversion to cash, the Company may sell a portion of its trade receivables to third parties. The Company has no recourse to these receivables once they are sold but may have continuing involvement related to servicing and collection activities. The impact of these transactions in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was not significant. The carrying values of cash, receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined principally on the first in first out method. The value of inventory is adjusted for damaged, obsolete, excess, or slow-moving inventory. Work in process and finished goods include material, labor, and overhead.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated or depleted over their estimated useful lives, primarily using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are: buildings and improvements -5 to 30 years; leasehold improvements - the lesser of the term of the lease or 11 years; and machinery and equipment -3 to 15 years. Depletion of mineral reserves is calculated based on estimated reserves using the units-of-production method on a quarry-by-quarry basis. The costs of ordinary maintenance and repair are charged to operating costs as incurred.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually, or on an interim basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount might be impaired. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is assessed at the “reporting unit” level by comparing the reporting unit's estimated fair value with the carrying amount of its net assets. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. The goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the reporting unit's carrying value over its fair value, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The estimates and judgments that most significantly affect the fair value calculations are assumptions, consisting of level three inputs, related to revenue and operating profit growth, discount rates, and exit multiples. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment analysis as of October 1 of each year. As of October 1, 2024 and 2023, the Company's annual impairment test of goodwill was completed at the reporting unit level andno impairment charges were determined to be necessary.
Intangible assets are recorded at fair value, using level three inputs, on the date of acquisition and evaluated to determine their estimated useful life. These assets primarily consist of customer relationships and permits and are amortized using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for definite-lived intangible assets are: customer relationships -2 to 20 years; permits -10 to 29 years; and other -1 to 34 years.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily relate to acquired trademarks. These assets are not amortized but are evaluated for impairment annually on October 1, or on an interim basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment test compares the fair value of each asset to its carrying value using a relief from royalty method. As of October 1, 2024 and 2023, the Company's annual impairment test was completed andno impairment charges were determined to be necessary.
Long-lived Assets
The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including property, plant, and equipment and definite-lived intangibles, for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used is considered impaired only when the carrying value is not recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows and the fair value of the assets is less than their carrying value. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks involved or market quotes as available. Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced by the estimated cost to dispose of the assets.
The Company recorded an impairment of $5.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the closure of the Company's aggregates operations in west Texas in our Construction Products segment. No impairment charges were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.
Workers’ Compensation
The Company is effectively self-insured for workers’ compensation claims. A third-party administrator is used to process claims. We accrue our workers' compensation liability based upon independent actuarial studies. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company's accrual for worker's compensation costs was $18.9 million and $24.2 million, respectively, which is included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Warranties
The Company provides various express, limited product warranties that generally range from 1 to 5 years depending on the product. The warranty costs are estimated using a two-step approach. First, an engineering estimate is made for the cost of all claims that have been asserted by customers. Second, based on historical, accepted claims experience, a cost is accrued for all products still within a warranty period for which no claims have been filed. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized related to products covered by warranties and assesses the adequacy of the resulting reserves on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company's accrual for warranty costs was $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, which is included in accrued liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Derivative Instruments
The Company may, from time to time, use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, commodity prices, or changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For derivative instruments designated as hedges, the Company formally documents the relationship between the derivative instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the derivative instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivative to specific assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, commitments, or forecasted transactions. At the time a derivative instrument is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, the Company assesses whether the derivative instrument is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Any change in the fair value of the hedged instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) as a separate component of stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company monitors its derivative positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not anticipate losses due to counterparties' non-performance.
Foreign Currency Translation
Certain operations outside the U.S. prepare financial statements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The income statement amounts are translated at average exchange rates for the year, while the assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates. Translation adjustments are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders' equity and other comprehensive income. The functional currency of our Mexico operations is considered to be the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our Canadian operations is considered to be the Canadian dollar.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and the effective unrealized gains and losses on the Company's derivative financial instruments, the sum of which, along with net income, constitutes comprehensive net income (loss). See Note 12 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. All components are shown net of tax.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not adopted as of December 31, 2024
Effective January 1, 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring 1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and 2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The standard also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The Company will adopt the additional disclosure requirements within its annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2025.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03. "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires public business entities to disclose additional information about certain key expense categories within major income statement captions in the notes to consolidated financial statements. These enhanced disclosures are expected to help investors more effectively understand an entity's performance, assess its prospects for future cash flows, and compare an entity's performance over time and with that of other entities. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management's Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management 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 as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
The Company's acquisition activities are summarized below:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| (in millions) | |||
| Acquisitions: | |||
| Purchase price | $1,424.2 | $119.4 | $75.6 |
| Net cash paid | $1,424.1 | $120.9 | $75.1 |
| Goodwill recorded | $397.1 | $40.4 | $11.6 |
2024 Acquisitions
On October 1, 2024, we acquired substantially all of the construction materials business of Stavola Holding Corporation and its affiliated entities ("Stavola") for $1.2 billion in cash, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. The purchase price was funded with a combination of proceeds from a private offering of $600.0 million of 6.875% senior unsecured notes that closed on August 26, 2024 and $700.0 million in borrowings under a variable-rate secured term loan entered into on October 1, 2024. See Note 7 Debt for additional information. Stavola, which is included in our Construction Products segment, is an aggregates-led and vertically integrated construction materials company primarily serving the New York-New Jersey Metropolitan Statistical Area ("MSA") through its network of five hard rock natural aggregates quarries, twelve asphalt plants, and three recycled aggregates sites. The acquisition expanded our platform into the nation’s largest MSA with industry-leading financial attributes.
The Stavola acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a preliminary valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities ("Level 3" inputs). We expect to complete our purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably possible, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material, particularly with respect to our preliminary estimates of property, plant, and equipment, including mineral reserves. The following table details the preliminary purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date:
| (in millions) | |
|---|---|
| Cash | $0.7 |
| Receivables, net of allowance | 69.1 |
| Inventories | 23.2 |
| Other | 2.6 |
| Property, plant, and equipment, including mineral reserves | 743.0 |
| Goodwill | 351.5 |
| Intangibles | 41.0 |
| Other assets | 24.9 |
| Accounts payable | (17.9) |
| Accrued liabilities | (2.4) |
| Advance billings | (0.8) |
| Other liabilities | (25.3) |
| Total net assets acquired | $1,209.6 |
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the preliminary valuation of the net assets acquired. The goodwill acquired, which has been assigned to the Construction Products segment, is tax-deductible and primarily attributable to Stavola's market position and existing workforce. The acquired intangibles include beneficial use rights, recycling permits, and the Stavola trade name, which have a useful life of 34 years,20 years, and 5 years, respectively.
Non-recurring transaction costs incurred related to the Stavola acquisition were approximately $25.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024. These costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Additionally, the Company incurred $6.2 million of debt issuance costs for commitments on a bridge loan facility that was not drawn upon and terminated upon placement of the long term financing to fund Stavola. See Note 7 Debt for additional information. These non-recurring costs are included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
On October 1, 2024, the Company also entered into three separate lease agreements for properties owned by the sellers. These lease agreements were accounted for separately from the Stavola acquisition and the corresponding right of use assets and lease liabilities of $12.6 million are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024.
Revenues and operating profit included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations from the date of the Stavola acquisition were approximately $78.2 million and $4.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively.
The following table represents the unaudited pro-forma consolidated operating results of the Company as if the Stavola acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2023 and includes adjustments to:
Include additional depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense related to the fair value of acquired property, plant, and equipment, mineral reserves, and intangible assets.
Include the impact to cost of sales from the sell-through of inventory that was stepped up in value.
Exclude transaction costs of $25.5 million from the year ended December 31, 2024 and reflect such expenses in the year ended December 31, 2023.
Include additional interest expense related to debt financing transactions.
The unaudited pro-forma information should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2023, nor is such unaudited pro-forma information necessarily indicative of future results.
| Year EndedDecember 31, 2024 | Year Ended December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | ||
| Revenues | $2,769.8 | $2,563.3 |
| Income before income taxes | $113.3 | $93.5 |
In July 2024, we completed the acquisition of a Phoenix, Arizona based natural aggregates business in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of$35.0 million.
In April 2024, we completed the acquisition of Ameron Pole Products LLC ("Ameron"), a leading manufacturer of highly engineered, premium concrete and steel poles for a broad range of infrastructure applications, including lighting, traffic, electric distribution, and small-cell telecom, for a total purchase price of $180.0 million. With operations in Alabama, California, and Oklahoma, Ameron is included in our Engineered Structures segment. The acquisition was funded with $160.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using Level 3 inputs. The final valuation resulted in the recognition of, among others, $60.8 million of property, plant, and equipment, $25.6 million of customer relationships, $18.1 million of inventory, $12.8 million of developed technology, $12.0 million of accounts receivable, $8.9 million of trademarks and $42.3 million of goodwill in our Engineered Structures segment. The goodwill acquired, which is tax-deductible, primarily relates to Ameron's market position and existing workforce.
2023 Acquisitions
On December 20, 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Lake Point Holdings, LLC and Lake Point Restoration LLC, (collectively "Lake Point") a Florida based natural aggregates business in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of $65.1 million. The acquisition was funded with $60.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using Level 3 inputs. The final valuation resulted in the recognition of, among others, $13.3 million of property, plant, and equipment, $19.1 million of mineral reserves, $11.5 million of permits, and $15.6 million of goodwill in our Construction Products segment.
In October 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Florida based recycled aggregates business and a Phoenix, Arizona based recycled aggregates business, both of which are included in our Construction Products segment. The purchase prices of these acquisitions were not significant.
In September 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Houston, Texas based stabilized sand producer in our Construction Products segment. The purchase price of the acquisition was not significant.
In March 2023, we completed the stock acquisition of a Houston, Texas based shoring, trench, and excavation products business in our Construction Products segment. In February 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Phoenix, Arizona based recycled aggregates business in our Construction Products segment. The purchase prices of these acquisitions were not significant.
2022 Acquisitions
In May 2022, we completed the stock acquisition of Recycled Aggregate Materials Company, Inc. ("RAMCO"), a leading producer of recycled aggregates in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, which is included in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of $77.4 million. The acquisition was funded with $80.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using Level 3 inputs. The final valuation resulted in the recognition of, among others, $54.2 million of permits with an initial weighted average useful life of 20 years, $6.4 million of property, plant, and equipment, and $13.4 million of goodwill in our Construction Products segment. The remaining assets and liabilities were not significant in relation to assets and liabilities at the consolidated or segment level.
Divestitures
On August 16, 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its steel components business. The steel components business, previously reported in the Transportation Products segment, was a leading supplier of railcar coupling devices, railcar axles, and circular forgings. The total consideration for the divestiture was $110.0 million consisting of $55.0 million in cash, a $25.0 million seller's note and a $30.0 million earnout of which the estimated fair value as of December 31, 2024 was $15.4 million. See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $21.6 million on the sale of the business, which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of businesses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Revenues and operating profit (loss) of the steel components business were $87.8 million and $(19.5) million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024, $153.3 million and $11.0 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023, and $127.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the year end December 31, 2022. As the steel components business was not core to Arcosa's long-term strategy, its divestiture was not considered a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company's operations or financial results either from a quantitative or qualitative perspective. As such, it is not reported as a discontinued operation.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we completed the divestiture of certain assets and liabilities of a single-location asphalt and paving operation in our Construction Products segment and the sale of a non-operating facility in our Engineered Structures segment. The total consideration for these divestitures was $27.3 million. The Company recognized a net pre-tax gain of $12.5 million which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of businesses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
There wereno divestitures completed during the year ended December 31, 2023.
In October 2022, the Company completed the sale of its storage tanks business for $275.0 million. Net cash proceeds received at closing were approximately $271.6 million, after transaction closing costs. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $189.0 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022. An additional gain of $6.9 million and $6.4 million was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily due to the resolution of certain contingencies from the sale. The storage tanks business, historically reported within the Engineered Structures segment as continuing operations until the date of sale, was a leading manufacturer of steel pressure tanks for the storage and transportation of propane, ammonia, and other gases serving the residential, commercial, energy, and agricultural markets with operations in the U.S. and Mexico. Revenues and operating profit of the storage tanks business prior to the sale were $188.9 million and $41.1 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022. As the sale of the storage tanks business was not considered a strategic shift that would have had a major effect on the Company's operations or financial results, it is not reported as a discontinued operation. In October 2022, the Company used $155.0 million of the cash proceeds from the sale to repay the outstanding loans borrowed under its revolving credit facility. See Note 7 Debt for additional information.
Other
In June 2023, the Company settled a $15.0 million holdback obligation from the 2021 acquisition of Southwest Rock upon the extension of a certain mineral reserve lease. Based on final negotiations with the seller, the holdback obligation was settled for $10.0 million and paid in June 2023. The $5.0 million difference between the settlement amount and the amount accrued at the time of acquisition was recorded as a reduction in cost of revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to establish a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values are listed below:
Level 1 – This level is defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents are instruments of the U.S. Treasury or highly-rated money market mutual funds.
Level 2 – This level is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – This level is defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Contingent consideration relates to estimated future payments expected from businesses previously acquired or sold. We estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration using a model appropriate for the structure of the contingent consideration, which may include discounted cash flow models, Monte Carlo simulations, or option pricing models. The fair values are sensitive to changes in the forecast of the performance metrics and in other metrics such as discount rates and volatility. The fair values are reassessed quarterly based on assumptions used in our latest projections.
Note 4. Segment Information
The Company's operating segments are identified on the basis of information that is reviewed by our chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, to make decisions about resources to be allocated and assess its performance. The Company reports operating results inthree principal business segments:
Construction Products. The Construction Products segment primarily produces and sells natural and recycled aggregates, specialty materials, asphalt mix, and construction site support equipment, including trench shields and shoring products.
Engineered Structures. The Engineered Structures segment primarily manufactures and sells steel and concrete structures for infrastructure businesses, including utility structures for electricity transmission and distribution, structural wind towers, traffic and lighting structures, and telecommunication structures. These products share similar manufacturing competencies and steel sourcing requirements and can be manufactured across our North American footprint. Historically, the segment manufactured storage and distribution tanks. In October 2022, the Company completed the divestiture of its storage tanks business. See Note 2 Acquisitions and Divestitures.
Transportation Products. The Transportation Products segment primarily manufactures and sells inland barges, fiberglass barge covers, winches, marine hardware and other transportation and industrial equipment. In August 2024, the Company completed the sale of its steel components business, which manufactured and sold steel components for railcars. See Note 2 Acquisitions and Divestitures.
The financial information for these segments is shown in the tables below. We operate principally in North America.

Revenues and operating profit (loss) for our U.S. and foreign operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 are presented below. Our primary foreign operations are in Mexico, while Canadian operations are not significant in relation to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The decreases in foreign operations revenue from 2022 to 2023 are largely due to the sale of the storage tanks business. The operating profits presented below exclude the gain on sale of the storage tanks business. See Note 2 Acquisitions and Divestitures.

| Less accumulated depreciation and depletion | (929.5) | (932.9) |
| $2,129.4 | $1,336.3 | |
The increase in mineral reserves is primarily due to the acquisition of Stavola in our Construction Products segment.
We did not capitalize any interest expense as part of the construction of facilities and equipment during 2024 or 2023.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had non-operating facilities with a net book value of $12.7 million and $14.6 million, respectively, classified as property, plant, and equipment, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We estimate the fair market value of properties not currently in use based on the location and condition of the properties, the fair market value of similar properties in the area, and the Company's experience selling similar properties in the past. Our estimated fair value of these assets exceeds their book value.
Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill by segment is as follows:
| December 31,2024 | December 31,2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | ||
| Construction Products | $861.2 | $516.1 |
| Engineered Structures | 480.1 | 437.6 |
| Transportation Products | 19.9 | 37.0 |
| $1,361.2 | $990.7 | |
The increase in Construction Products goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2024 is primarily due to the acquisition of Stavola, partially offset by measurement period adjustments from the 2023 acquisitions and the divestiture of a single-location asphalt and paving business completed in April 2024. The increase in Engineered Structures goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2024 is due to the acquisition of Ameron. The decrease in Transportation Products goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2024 is due to the divestiture of the steel components business in August 2024. See Note 2 Acquisitions and Divestitures.

Revolving Credit Facility
In August 2023, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") to increase our revolving credit facility from $500.0 million to $600.0 million, extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility from January 2, 2025 to August 23, 2028, and refinance and repay in full the remaining balance of the term loan then outstanding under our prior credit facility.
On August 15, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) increase our revolving credit facility from $600.0 million to $700.0 million, (ii) collateralize the amended revolving credit facility with substantially all of our and our subsidiary guarantors' personal property (with certain exceptions), (iii) make the applicable margin for revolving borrowings, letters of credit and the commitment fee rate be based on our consolidated net leverage ratio (permitting up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash to be netted from the calculation thereof), (iv) modify the margin for Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")-based revolving borrowings and letters of credit to range from 1.25% to 2.50% per annum, (v) modify the margin for base rate revolving borrowings to range from 0.25% to 1.50%, (vi) modify the commitment fee that accrues on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility to range from 0.20% to 0.45%, and (vii) modify the maximum permitted leverage ratio to include a net debt concept (permitting up to $150.0 million of unrestricted cash to be netted from the calculation thereof), and to provide that such ratio shall be no greater than 5.00 to 1.00 during the fourth quarter of 2024 and the next two fiscal quarters,4.50 to 1.00 for the next following two fiscal quarters, and 4.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter (however, this maximum permitted leverage ratio may be increased to 4.50 to 1.00 for up to four fiscal quarters if a material acquisition is entered into). These amendments did not become effective until the closing of the Stavola acquisition on October 1, 2024. The amended revolving credit facility's maturity date of August 23, 2028 remains unchanged.
As of December 31, 2024, we hadno outstanding loans borrowed and approximately $0.7 million of letters of credit outstanding under our revolving credit facility, which left $699.3 million available for borrowing. The Company borrowed $335.0 million under the revolving credit facility during the year ended December 31, 2024, including $160.0 million in April 2024 to partially fund the Ameron acquisition. These borrowings were paid in full during 2024. Our letters of credit expire in 2025, and the majority of our letter of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year.
The interest rates for revolving loans under the Credit Agreement are variable based on the daily simple or term SOFR, plus a 10-basis point credit spread adjustment, or an alternate base rate, in each case plus a margin for borrowing. A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The margin for revolving borrowings and commitment fee rate are determined based on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio (as measured by a consolidated funded indebtedness, less the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash up to a maximum amount not to exceed $150.0 million, to consolidated EBITDA ratio). As of December 31, 2024, the margin for borrowing based on SOFR was set at 2.50% and the commitment fee rate was set at 0.45%.
The revolving credit facility portion of the Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of certain ratios related to leverage and interest coverage. As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company. On October 1, 2024, we collateralized our obligations under the Credit Agreement with substantially all of our and our subsidiary guarantors' personal property (with certain exceptions).
The carrying value of revolving borrowings under the Credit Agreement approximates fair value because the interest rate adjusts to the market interest rate (Level 3 input). See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $1.9 million. As of December 31, 2024, total unamortized debt issuance costs related to the prior and amended revolving credit facilities were $3.7 million. These costs are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are amortized into interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement.
Term Loan
The Credit Agreement provides for a new secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount of $700.0 million. The Term Loan was funded on October 1, 2024 with the closing of the Stavola acquisition, of which $100.0 million was used to pay down the Company's revolving credit facility. The Term Loan requires, among other things, (i) mandatory prepayments from excess cash flow on an annual basis, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, (ii) mandatory prepayments with proceeds of certain asset sales and debt issuances, and (iii) quarterly principal amortization payments in an amount equal to 0.25% of the initial Term Loan. The Term Loan has a maturity date of October 1, 2031. The interest rate for the Term Loan is based on SOFR plus 2.25% per year. The Term Loan is prepayable at any time without penalty, except, in the event of a voluntary repricing in the first six months after closing, in which case a premium in the amount of 1.0% of the initial Term Loan is payable. The Term Loan is guaranteed by the same subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee our revolving credit facility, and the Term Loan is secured on a pari passu basis with our revolving credit facility.
In connection with the issuance of the Term Loan, the Company incurred $7.0 million of debt issuance costs.
Senior Notes
On August 26, 2024, the Company issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior unsecured notes (the "2024 Notes") that mature in August 2032. Interest on the 2024 Notes is payable semiannually in February and August. In April 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes (the "2021 Notes", and together with the 2024 Notes, the "Senior Notes") that mature in April 2029. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable semiannually in April and October. The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under our Credit Agreement. The terms of each indenture governing the Senior Notes, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and each of its subsidiaries to create liens on assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets and the assets of its subsidiaries. The terms of each indenture also limit the ability of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur certain types of debt.
The Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the applicable indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in each applicable indenture) occurs, the Company must offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
The estimated fair values of the 2024 Notes and 2021 Notes as of December 31, 2024 were $609.9 million and $372.9 million, respectively, based on quoted market prices in a market with little activity (Level 2 input).
In connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes and the 2021 Notes, the Company incurred $8.2 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of debt issuance costs.
The remaining principal payments under existing debt agreements as of December 31, 2024 are as follows:
| 2025 | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | Thereafter | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | ||||||
| Term Loan | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 7.0 | 665.0 |
| 2021 Senior Notes - 4.375% due April 2029 | — | — | — | — | 400.0 | — |
| 2024 Senior Notes - 6.875% due August 2032 | — | — | — | — | — | 600.0 |
In connection with the agreement to acquire Stavola, on August 1, 2024, the Company entered into a commitment letter with certain lenders to provide a senior secured 364-day bridge loan facility of up to $1.2 billion for the purpose of providing the financing necessary to fund the Stavola acquisition. No funds were drawn upon the bridge loan facility, which terminated upon the closing of the Stavola acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred $6.2 million of debt issuance costs related to the bridge loan facility, all of which is reflected in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Interest rate hedges
In December 2018, the Company entered into a $100.0 million interest rate swap instrument, effective as of January 2, 2019, to reduce the effect of changes in the variable interest rates associated with the first $100.0 million of borrowings under the Company's committed credit facility. In conjunction with the replacement of LIBOR with SOFR as a benchmark for borrowings under our credit facility, on July 1, 2023 the swap instrument transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR. The instrument effectively fixed the SOFR component of borrowings under our credit facility at a monthly rate of 2.71% until such instrument's termination. The interest rate swap instrument expired in October 2023 and no new interest rate swap instrument has been entered into in connection with the Term Loan.
Note 8. Leases
We have various leases primarily for office space, land and buildings, and certain equipment. At inception, we determine if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. For leases that contain options to purchase, terminate, or extend, such options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Some of our lease arrangements contain lease components and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components for all leases.
As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Future minimum lease payments for operating and finance lease obligations as of December 31, 2024 consisted of the following:
| Operating Leases · Finance Leases | ||

The Company’s state income taxes include an increase in expense associated with the remeasurement of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities primarily in connection with acquisitions and divestitures that occurred during the year.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted. Among other things, the IRA provides for certain manufacturing, production, and investment tax credit incentives, including new Advanced Manufacturing Production ("AMP") tax credits for companies that domestically manufacture and sell clean energy equipment, including wind towers. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has recognized $53.6 million in gross AMP tax credits for wind towers produced and sold in 2024 which are included as a reduction to cost of revenues on the Consolidated Statement of Operations due to the refundable nature of the credits. In December 2024, the Company entered into agreements with unrelated third parties to sell a portion of our 2024 AMP tax credits under Section 6418 of the Internal Revenue Code. We sold $45.0 million of AMP tax credits resulting in a loss of $2.7 million which is reflected in cost of revenues on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $32.4 million in gross AMP tax credits for wind towers produced and sold in 2023. The Company utilized $9.8 million of the 2023 credits to offset the US federal income tax liability in 2023 and $8.0 million in 2024. The remaining $14.6 million of AMP tax credits are included in deferred tax assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development issued Pillar Two model rules for a global minimum tax of 15% effective January 1, 2024 ("Pillar Two"). While it is uncertain whether the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt Pillar Two, certain countries in which we operate have adopted legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar Two. Pillar Two had no impact on our 2024 tax rate, and we do not currently expect Pillar Two to significantly impact our tax rate going forward.
Income (loss) before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $130.9 million, $182.6 million, and $271.1 million, respectively, for U.S. operations, and $(0.9) million, $13.3 million, and $45.1 million, respectively, for foreign operations, principally Mexico and Canada. The Company provides deferred income taxes on the unrepatriated earnings of its foreign operations where it results in a deferred tax liability.
Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The components of deferred tax liabilities and assets are as follows:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | |
| (in millions) | ||
| Deferred tax liabilities: | ||
| Depreciation, depletion, and amortization | $248.7 | $230.8 |
| Total deferred tax liabilities | 248.7 | 230.8 |
| Deferred tax assets: | ||
| Workers compensation and other benefits | 12.3 | 13.9 |
| Warranties and reserves | 1.1 | 1.1 |
| Equity items | — | (0.3) |
| Tax carryforwards and credits | 36.9 | 52.8 |
| Inventory | 6.1 | 1.9 |
| Accrued liabilities and other | 1.5 | (2.3) |
| Total deferred tax assets | 57.9 | 67.1 |
| Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) before valuation allowances | (190.8) | (163.7) |
| Valuation allowances | 7.0 | 9.1 |
| Adjusted net deferred tax assets (liabilities) | $(197.8) | $(172.8) |
At December 31, 2024, the Company had $3.2 million of federal consolidated net operating loss carryforwards, primarily from businesses acquired, and $4.5 million of tax-effected state loss carryforwards remaining. In addition, the Company had $7.7 million of tax-effected foreign net operating loss carryforwards that will begin to expire in the year 2025.
We have established a valuation allowance for state and foreign tax operating losses and credits that we have estimated may not be realizable.
Income tax has not been recognized on the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries that is indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. This amount is recognized upon a repatriation of assets from the subsidiary or a sale or liquidation of the subsidiary. The amount of such temporary differences totaled approximately $100.1 million as of December 31, 2024. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on this temporary difference is not practicable because of the complexities of the hypothetical calculation.
Taxing authority examinations
We have multiple federal tax return filings that are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. U.S. federal tax returns of the Company for the 2021-2023 tax years currently remain open for possible examination. We have various subsidiaries that file separate state tax returns that are subject to examination by taxing authorities. State tax returns of these subsidiaries for 2019 and later tax years, generally currently remain open for possible examination. We have various subsidiaries in Mexico that file separate tax returns that are subject to examination by taxing authorities. Mexican tax returns of these subsidiaries for 2019 and later tax years currently remain open for possible examination.
Unrecognized tax benefits
Unrecognized tax benefits represent the differences between tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return and the benefits recognized for financial statement purposes. There wereno unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
The Company accounts for interest expense and penalties related to income tax issues as income tax expense. Accordingly, interest expense and penalties associated with an uncertain tax position are included in the income tax provision. There wereno accrued interest and penalties as of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Note 11. Employee Retirement Plans
The Company sponsors defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans that provide retirement income for eligible employees and retirees of the Company.
Total employee retirement plan expense, which includes related administrative expenses, is as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
| (in millions) | |||
| Defined contribution plans | $16.8 | $15.3 | $12.5 |
| Multiemployer plans | 1.8 | 1.5 | 1.6 |
| $18.6 | $16.8 | $14.1 | |
Defined Contribution Plans
Established under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k), the Arcosa, Inc. 401(k) Plan (“401(k) Plan”) is a defined contribution plan available to all eligible employees. Participants in the 401(k) Plan are eligible to receive future retirement benefits through elected contributions and a company-funded match with the investment of the funds directed by the participants.
The Company also sponsors a fully‑funded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The invested assets and related liabilities of these participants were approximately $7.0 million at December 31, 2024 and $5.4 million at December 31, 2023, which are included in other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Distributions from the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan to participants were approximately $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Multiemployer Plans
The Company contributes to various multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover certain union-represented employees at one of the facilities in our Engineered Structures segment and four of the facilities in our Construction Products segment acquired in the Stavola acquistion. The risks of participating in a multiemployer plan are different from a single-employer plan in the following aspects:
Assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.
If a participating employer stops contributing to a multiemployer plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.
If the Company chooses to stop participating in the multiemployer plan, the Company may be required to pay the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.
Our participation in multiemployer plans for the year ended December 31, 2024 are outlined in the table below. The Pension Protection Act (“PPA”) zone status is based upon the most recent information available at December 31, 2024 and 2023 and is obtained from the multiemployer plan's regulatory filings available in the public domain and certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded, and plans in the red zone are less than 65% funded. Federal law requires that plans classified in the yellow or red zones adopt a funding improvement plan or a rehabilitation plan in order to improve the financial health of the plan. The Company's contributions to the multiemployer plans were less than 5% of total contributions to any plan. The last column in the table lists the expiration date of the last expiring collective bargaining agreement to which the plan is subject.

Employer contributions to the multiemployer plans for the year ending December 31, 2025 are expected to be $2.9 million.
ACG Pension Plan
In connection with the acquisition of ACG in December 2018, the Company assumed the assets and liabilities related to a defined benefit pension plan. As of December 31, 2024, the plan assets totaled $4.5 million and the projected benefit obligation totaled $3.2 million, for a net over funded status of $1.3 million, which is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation
The Arcosa Inc. 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, and other performance-based awards, to our directors, officers, and employees. The maximum number of shares of Arcosa common stock that may be issued under the Plan is 4.8 million shares.
At December 31, 2024, we had 1.4 million shares available for grant. Any equity awards that have been granted under the Plan that are subsequently forfeited, canceled, or tendered to satisfy tax withholding obligations are added back to the shares available for grant.
The cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments is referred to as share-based payments and is based on the grant date fair-value of those awards. Stock-based compensation includes compensation expense, recognized over the applicable vesting periods, for share-based awards. As a result of the spin-off of Arcosa from Trinity Industries, Inc ("Trinity") in 2018, certain Arcosa employees continue to hold restricted shares or units in Trinity common stock. The Company recognizes compensation expense for both the Arcosa awards and the Trinity awards held by our employees. Stock-based compensation totaled $24.3 million, $23.9 million, and $19.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
The income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense was $6.9 million, $6.8 million, and $5.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Equity Awards
Equity awards outstanding as of December 31, 2024 consist of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance units and generally vest for periods ranging from 1 to 15 years from the date of grant. Certain equity awards vest in their entirety or on a pro-rata basis upon the employee's retirement from the Company and may take into consideration the employee's age and years of service to the Company, as defined more specifically in the Company's award agreements. Equity awards granted to non-employee directors under the Plan generally vest one year from the grant date and are released at that time, in the case of restricted stock, or upon completion of the directors' service to the Company, in the case of restricted stock units. Expense related to equity awards issued to eligible employees and directors under the Plan is recognized ratably over the vesting period or to the date on which retirement eligibility is achieved, if shorter. Performance units vest and settle in shares of our common stock following the end of a three-year performance period contingent upon the achievement of specific performance goals during the performance period and certification by the Human Resources Committee of the Board of the achievement of the performance goals. Performance units are granted to employees based upon a target level of performance; however, depending upon the achievement of the performance goals during the performance period, performance units may be issued at an amount between 0% and 200% of the target level. Expense related to performance units is recognized ratably over the vesting period. Forfeitures are recognized as reduction to expense in the period in which they occur.
The activity for equity awards held by Arcosa employees for the year ended December 31, 2024 was as follows:
| Arcosa Equity Awards Held by Arcosa Employees | Trinity Equity Awards Held by Arcosa Employees | Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Award | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equity awards outstanding at December 31, 2023 | 872,933 | 332,902 | $44.01 |
| Granted | 314,977 | — | 76.10 |
| Vested | (368,830) | (101,852) | 48.40 |

| Equity awards outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 768,088 | 203,877 | $52.37 |
At December 31, 2024, unrecognized compensation expense related to equity awards totaled $28.7 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years. The total vesting-date fair value of shares vested and released was $35.6 million, $36.2 million, and $39.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Note 14. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income remaining after allocation to unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be antidilutive, the calculation of diluted earnings per common share includes the weighted average net impact of nonparticipating unvested restricted shares. Total weighted average restricted shares were 1.2 million shares,1.3 million shares, and 1.5 million shares, for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share follows.

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in claims and lawsuits incidental to our business arising from various matters including commercial disputes, alleged product defect and/or warranty claims, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims, environmental issues, employment and/or workplace-related matters, and various governmental regulations. The Company evaluates its exposure to such claims and suits periodically and establishes accruals for these contingencies when probable losses can be reasonably estimated. At December 31, 2024, the reasonably possible losses and any related accruals for such matters were not significant.
Estimates of liability arising from future proceedings, assessments, or remediation are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings, including those related to the environment or, if we are found to be responsible or liable in any such litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to the Company.
Other commitments
Non-cancelable purchase obligations amounted to $252.9 million as of December 31, 2024, of which $165.1 million is for the purchase of raw materials and components, primarily by the Engineered Structures and Transportation Products segments.
In the normal course of business, at December 31, 2024, the Company was contingently liable for $141.5 million in surety bonds, which guarantee its own performance and are required by certain states and municipalities and their related agencies. The Company has indemnified the underwriting insurance companies against any exposure under the surety bonds. The Company is not aware of any circumstances that would result in material claims against these bonds.
