Current report

We record changes in costs estimated at completion (net EAC adjustments) using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. Net EAC adjustments can have a significant effect on reported revenues and gross profit and the table below presents the aggregate amounts for the following periods:

Current report

The Company evaluates the contract value and cost estimates at completion for performance obligations no less frequently than quarterly, and more frequently when circumstances significantly change. Changes in contract estimates occur for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, changes in contract scope, labor productivity, the nature and technical complexity of the work to be performed, availability and cost volatility of materials, subcontractor and vendor performance, volume assumptions, inflationary trends, and schedule and performance delays. We utilize information available to us at the time when revising our estimates and apply consistent judgement across the full portfolio of programs.

Current report

Transaction expenses increased $5.1 million, or 100.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared with the same period in 2023. The increase is primarily due to $1.1 million of costs incurred related to the Hera acquisition as well as pre-acquisition costs incurred consisting of due diligence and additional expenses related to prospective acquisitions.

Current report

Transaction expenses increased $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared with the same period in 2023.

Current report

During the third quarter of 2024, we changed the Supplemental Non-GAAP Information to present only Adjusted EBITDA, whereas prior period disclosures also presented Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA. Management believes the presentation of Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA no longer provides the same meaningful insights into the Company’s performance as it did during the initial years of the Company’s formation. Prior period disclosures were recast to conform to current presentation. There was no change in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

Current report

From time to time, we are a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements, such as standby letter of credits. Liabilities related to these arrangements are generally not reflected in our consolidated balance sheets. We do not expect any material impact on our cashflows, results of operations or financial condition to result from these off-balance sheet arrangements.

Current report

As of September 30, 2024, we had $15.3 million of standby letters of credit outstanding for a submitted proposal, which were secured by our restricted cash. Refer to Note B of the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the Company’s restricted cash.
