Insights
Everus delivered strong Q1 growth, higher margins and robust cash generation.
Everus grew operating revenues to $1.04 billion, up 25.4% year over year, driven by both E&M and T&D segments. Net income increased to $58.3 million, with margin expansion as gross profit rose faster than cost of sales and operating income improved by 52.4%.
Contract accounting played an important role: changes in estimates on prior-period performance obligations contributed meaningfully to revenue and earnings, accounting for about 5.4% of Q1 2026 revenues. While these adjustments are common in long-duration projects, they introduce variability and underscore the importance of execution and risk management on complex jobs.
Cash generation was a standout, with net cash from operating activities climbing to $143.7 million, supporting a stronger cash position of $293.4 million and modest net leverage versus a term loan of $281.3 million. The subsequent $158 million SE&M acquisition, funded with cash on hand, fits the E&M segment and expands the Southeast footprint; subsequent filings may detail integration progress and financial contribution.

remaining performance obligations financial
"the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company's remaining performance obligations was $3.09 billion"
Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.
cost-to-cost measure of progress financial
"revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost measure of progress for contracts"
variable interest entity financial
"determined to be a VIE due to its variable ownership interest in the captive insurance company"
A variable interest entity (VIE) is a company structure where one party controls another company’s operations and economic outcomes through contracts or special arrangements instead of owning a majority of its voting shares. For investors, VIEs matter because the controlling party’s financial results, debts and risks can appear in the controller’s reports even though ownership looks separate, so understanding VIEs helps assess true exposure, governance limits and transparency—like spotting a puppet controlled by strings rather than direct ownership.
net credit loss reversals financial
"Net credit loss reversals | ( 24 ) | ( 1,729 )"
Secured Overnight Financing Rate financial
"Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest... at adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate"
A secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) is a daily benchmark interest rate that reflects the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Think of it as the market price to “rent” cash for a day with a very safe pledge, similar to paying a short-term rental fee for money backed by government bonds. Investors track SOFR because it underpins pricing for loans, bonds and derivatives, so movements change borrowing costs, interest income and the valuation of interest-rate–linked positions.
performance share awards financial
"the Company's compensation committee granted 40,780 and 51,373 PSAs, at target, under the Everus LTIP"
Performance share awards are grants of company stock that executives or employees receive only if the business reaches specific financial or operational goals over a set period. They matter to investors because they align management’s pay with company performance—like a bonus that pays in shares only when targets are hit—so successful outcomes can boost future earnings and share value while failures mean the awards are forfeited.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Background and Nature of Operations
Nature of Operations
Everus Construction Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Everus”) is a leading construction solutions provider headquartered in Bismarck, North Dakota, offering specialty contracting services to a diverse set of end markets, which are provided to commercial, industrial, institutional, renewables, service, transportation, utility and other customers. The Company’s common stock is listed under the ticker symbol “ECG” on the New York Stock Exchange, and it operates throughout most of the United States through two
Electrical & Mechanical (“E&M”): Contracting services including construction and maintenance of electrical and communication wiring and infrastructure, fire suppression systems, renewables infrastructure and mechanical piping and services to customers in both the public and private sectors.
Transmission & Distribution (“T&D”): Contracting services including construction and maintenance of overhead and underground electrical, gas, communication infrastructure and transportation-related lighting, as well as the manufacture and distribution of overhead and underground transmission line construction equipment and tools.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Pursuant to GAAP, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2025 Annual Report”). The information includes all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and are of a normal recurring nature.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or any other future period.
All revenues and costs, as well as assets and liabilities, directly associated with the business activities of the Company are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. General corporate expenses are included within Selling, general and administrative expenses and Other income, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as entities that the Company controls through its ownership of a majority voting interest or pursuant to control of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), which is discussed in more detail below. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the businesses comprising the Company have been eliminated in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated transactions for consideration as recognized subsequent events in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements through May 6, 2026, the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and determined that no additional events requiring disclosure occurred. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events for further information regarding a nonrecognized subsequent event relating to an acquisition that occurred on April 1, 2026.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for items such as long-lived assets and goodwill; fair values of acquired assets and liabilities under the acquisition method of accounting; property depreciable lives; tax provisions; revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost measure of progress for contracts; costs on construction contracts; unbilled revenues; expected credit losses; loss contingencies; actuarially determined benefit costs; lease classification; present value of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; and the valuation of stock-based compensation. As additional information becomes available, or actual amounts are determinable, the recorded estimates are revised. Consequently, operating results can be affected by revisions to prior accounting estimates.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
The Company holds a minority economic interest in a captive insurance company, which has been determined to be a VIE due to its variable ownership interest in the captive insurance company. The captive insurance is structured with protected cell captives for each insured party (“Captive Cells”) in which participants’ assets and liabilities are held separately from each other and is not exposed to the insurance and investment risks that the Captive Cells are designed to create and distribute on behalf of the insured parties. The Company is the primary beneficiary of its individual Captive Cell and has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of its Captive Cell, as well as the obligation to absorb losses of, and receive benefits from the activities of its Captive Cell. Accordingly, the Company has prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. ASC 810 requires that if an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the VIE should be included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of such entity. As such, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidation of the Company’s Captive Cell.

Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for unconsolidated joint ventures using either the equity method or proportionate consolidation.
Proportionate consolidation is used for joint ventures that include unincorporated legal entities when we hold an undivided interest in each asset and are proportionately liable for our share of liabilities and the activities of the joint ventures that are construction related. For those joint ventures accounted for under proportionate consolidation, only the Company’s pro rata share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
There was no activity during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, related to joint ventures accounted for using proportionate consolidation.
For those joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, the Company’s investment balances for the joint ventures are included in Investments in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the Company’s pro rata share of net income is included in Income from equity method investments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized income from equity method joint ventures of $2.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The Company’s investments in equity method joint ventures as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, were $12.3 million and $19.5 million, respectively.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash was held in highly liquid bank accounts, including checking accounts and/or money market deposit accounts. In addition, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash represents deposits held by the Company’s Captive Cell that are to be used solely for the Captive Cell’s purposes.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $293.4 million and $170.5 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, respectively, including $18.4 million and $17.8 million of restricted cash held by the Captive Cell, respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company earned $2.3 million and $0.9 million of interest income, including $2.2 million and $0.9 million from its central cash management program, respectively. The Company earned $0.1 million from the Company’s Captive Cell for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Receivables and Allowance for Expected Credit Losses
Receivables consist primarily of trade receivables from the sale of goods and services, net of the allowance for expected credit losses. The Company’s trade receivables are all due in 12 months or less. Receivables, net was summarized as follows as of:

The Company’s allowance for expected credit losses is determined using historical credit loss experiences, changes in asset-specific characteristics and current conditions, among other specific account data. A review of the Company’s expected credit losses is performed at least quarterly. The Company develops and documents its methodology to determine its allowance for expected credit losses. Risk characteristics used by the Company may include customer mix, knowledge of customers and general economic conditions of the various local economies, among others. Specific account balances are written off when management determines the amounts to be uncollectible. The decrease in the allowance for expected credit losses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was primarily driven by write-offs of uncollectible account balances and by net credit loss reversals recorded during the period.

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value, net of any inventory valuation allowance. The value of inventories may decrease due to obsolescence, physical deterioration, damage, costs to repair, changes in price levels or other causes. Inventory valuation write-downs, as well as inventory allowances, are determined based on specific facts and circumstances.

New Accounting Standards
Changes to GAAP are typically established by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to the FASB ASC. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provided guidance to address stakeholders feedback on the challenges of applying Topic 326 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets, specifically related to the costs and complexities of developing reasonable and supportable forecasts to support the estimation of expected credit losses. As a result, this update provides a practical expedient for all entities that allows an entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when developing such forecasts. The standard is effective for fiscal year December 31, 2026, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2026. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2026 and it did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Under ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company is considered an agent for certain taxes collected from customers. As such, the Company presents revenues net of these taxes at the time of sale to be remitted to governmental authorities, including sales and use taxes.
As part of the adoption of ASC 606, the Company elected the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is 12 months or less.
Contract Estimates and Changes in Estimates
Changes in cost estimates on certain contracts can arise from, but not limited to, changes in productivity and performance expectations, availability of skilled labor in geographic locations of such projects, costs of labor and/or materials, changes in subcontractor productivity and performance, and extended overhead due to weather or other delays. These changes in estimates may result in the issuance of change orders, which can be approved or unapproved by the customer, or the assertion of contract claims. The Company recognizes amounts associated with change orders and claims as revenue if it is probable that the contract price will be adjusted and the amount of any such adjustment can be reasonably estimated. Change orders and claims are negotiated in the normal course of business and represent management's estimates of additional contract revenues that have been earned and are probable of collection.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $44.8 million and $69.9 million, respectively, of unexecuted change orders were included in contract transaction price and in Contract assets or Contract liabilities, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company was in the process of negotiating execution of these change orders in the normal course of business and the recognized amounts represent the Company’s best estimates of additional contract revenues for which it is not probable that a significant reversal of the revenue amounts will occur in the future.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recorded loss provisions of $1.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in Contract liabilities, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets related to contracts that are still being completed and remain recorded.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had claim positions of $38.3 million and $25.8 million, respectively, that were excluded from the contract transaction price. The Company continues to evaluate these active claims, and there was no impact to operating income during the quarter.
11
The Company received notification in October 2023 from a customer that it is withholding payment of approximately $31.3 million on remaining outstanding billings, including retention, on a large project with a contract that was billed on a time and materials basis with no stated maximum price. The Company believes it has substantial defenses against these claims based upon the terms of the contract and it has performed under the terms of the contract. Therefore, the Company believes collection of the remaining outstanding billings, including retention, is probable and, as a result, the Company has recognized the revenue from this project in its historical results. However, there is uncertainty surrounding this matter, including the potential long-term nature of dispute resolution, the Company filing a lien on the property and the broad range of possible consideration amounts as a result of negotiations and potential litigation to resolve the dispute.
Additionally, the cost-to-cost method of accounting requires the Company to make estimates about expected revenues and gross profit on each of its contracts in process. Changes in estimates may result from contract modifications, which affect the estimated progress of the related performance obligations. As a result, the Company recognizes additional revenues on a cumulative catch-up basis in the current period from performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods or the reversal of previously recognized revenues if the current estimated progress is less than the previous estimate. In some instances, contract modifications may occur after completion of work under the contract. Changes in estimates can also result in contract losses, which are recognized in full when they are determined to be probable and can be reasonably estimated.
Since these changes in estimates could significantly affect our profitability, the Company reviews and updates contract-related estimates regularly and recognizes adjustments in estimated gross profit on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the cumulative impact to gross profit is recognized in the period that the adjustment is identified. As such, future operating revenues and gross profit of contract performance are recognized using the adjusted estimates.
Changes in estimates associated with performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods positively net impacted operating revenues, and in turn gross profit, by $55.9 million and $38.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As a result, net income was positively net impacted by $41.5 million and $27.8 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) by $0.81 and $0.54 , respectively.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, net changes in estimates pertaining to certain projects, each individually positively or negatively affecting profitability in excess of $1.0 million, positively net impacted operating revenues, and in turn gross profit, by $17.6 million and $16.8 million, respectively, which resulted in positive net impacts to net income of $13.1 million and $12.2 million and diluted EPS of $0.26 and $0.24 , respectively.
The changes in estimates resulted from changes in performance estimates due to revisions to total estimated costs and/or anticipated contract value and from the mitigation of risks and contingencies as projects progressed to completion. The changes in estimates were made in the ordinary course of business and there were no changes that resulted in material amounts that should have been recognized in a prior period.
Disaggregation of Revenue
In the following tables, revenues are disaggregated by contract type and customer type for each reportable segment. The Company believes this level of disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The timing of invoicing to customers does not necessarily correlate with the timing of revenues being recognized under the cost-to-cost method of accounting. Contracts from contracting services usually stipulate the timing of payment, which is defined by the terms found within the various contracts under which work was performed during the period. Contracts from contracting services are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms. A variance in timing of the billings in comparison to the timing of revenue recognition may result in contract assets or contract liabilities.
Contract assets consist of unbilled revenue and retainage. Unbilled revenue occurs when revenues are recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, which exceed amounts billed on uncompleted contracts. Such amounts will be billed as standard contract terms allow, usually based on various measures of performance or achievement. Retainage represents amounts that have been contractually invoiced to customers and where payments have been partially withheld pending the achievement of certain milestones, satisfaction of other contractual conditions, or completion of the project. Contract assets are not considered a significant financing component as they are intended to protect the customer in the event the Company does not perform on its obligations under the contract.
13
Contract liabilities occur when there are billings in excess of revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress on uncompleted contracts. Contract liabilities decrease as revenue is recognized from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation. Contract liabilities are not considered to have a significant financing component as they are used to meet working capital requirements that generally are higher in the early stages of a contract and are intended to protect the Company from the other party failing to meet its obligations under the contract.
The Company classifies Contract assets and Contract liabilities, net that may be settled after one year from the balance sheet date as current, consistent with the timing of the Company’s project operating cycle.

Contract assets and contract liabilities fluctuate period to period based on various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in the number and size of projects in progress at period end; variability in billing and payment terms, such as up-front or advance billings, interim or milestone billings, or deferred billings; variability in billing of retainage and the satisfaction of the specified condition; and unapproved change orders and contract claims recognized as revenues. The primary driver of the difference between the Company's opening and closing contract assets and contract liabilities balances is the timing of the Company's billings, including retainage, in relation to its performance of work.
The Company recognized a net increase in revenues of $226.1 million and $142.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, related to previously recognized deferred revenues that were included in Contract liabilities, net as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations include unrecognized revenues that the Company reasonably expects to be realized from the uncompleted portion of services to be performed under job-specific contracts to the extent management believes additional contract revenues will be earned and are deemed probable of collection. The majority of the Company's contracts for contracting services have an original duration of less than one year.
14
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company's remaining performance obligations was $3.09 billion and $2.80 billion, respectively. The table below shows additional information regarding the Company’s remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2026, including an estimate of when the Company expects to recognize its remaining performance obligations as revenues:

Note 4 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The Company’s carrying amount of goodwill remained unchanged at $143.2 115.9 27.3 No
Other Intangible Assets
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company wrote off the remaining asset cost and associated accumulated amortization of the finite-lived intangible assets related to customer relationships that were fully amortized.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets was $0.1 million. As a result of the finite-lived intangible assets being fully amortized during the first quarter of 2025, there was no future amortization expense remaining for finite-lived intangible assets.
Amortization expense was recognized in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) establishes a three-tier hierarchy for grouping assets and liabilities, based on the significance and availability of inputs in active markets. The estimated fair values of the Company's assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are determined using the market approach.
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are “unobservable data points” for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company measured its investments in certain fixed-income and equity securities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company anticipates using these investments, which consist of corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”) contracts, to satisfy its obligations under its unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan for eligible Company participants, including its executive officers and certain key management and other employees. The Company invests in these fixed-income and equity securities for the purpose of earning investment returns and capital appreciation.
These investments, which totaled $9.9 million and $7.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were included in Investments on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
15
The Company recognized net unrealized losses on these investments of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The changes in fair value were classified in Other income, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
The estimated fair value of the Company’s Level 2 COLI contracts was based on contractual cash surrender values that were determined primarily by investments in managed separate accounts of the insurer. These amounts approximated fair value. The managed separate accounts were valued based on other observable inputs or corroborated market data.
Though the Company believes the methods used to estimate fair value are consistent with those used by other market participants, the use of other methods or assumptions could result in a different estimate of fair value.
The estimated fair values of the Company’s Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, Receivables, Accounts payable and Other accrued liabilities approximated their carrying value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 820 to its nonrecurring, nonfinancial measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities, including long-lived asset impairments. These nonfinancial assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable. No
Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
The Company's long-term debt was not measured at fair value on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, but the corresponding fair values are being provided for disclosure purposes only.

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
On October 31, 2024, the Company entered into a five-year senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $300.0 million term loan (“Term Loan”) and a $225.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility includes letters of credit available under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount of up to $50.0 million.
The Company paid $4.4 million and $3.5 million of debt issuance costs for the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. The costs associated with the Term Loan were capitalized and classified as a reduction to Long-term debt and the costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility were capitalized and recorded as Other noncurrent assets. Each will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement.
As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no 2.2 222.8
The Company incurred $4.6 million and $5.6 million of interest expense related to the Credit Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. including of $4.0 million and $5.0 million of interest on outstanding borrowings, respectively. In addition, interest expense included $0.4 0.2
The Term Loan requires quarterly amortization payments of 5.00 % per annum of the original principal amount thereof. The Credit Agreement also requires mandatory prepayments in connection with certain asset sales, subject to certain exceptions.
For each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company paid its required quarterly amortization payments under the Term Loan totaling $3.8 4.0 million and $4.9 million of associated interest on outstanding borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
17
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at an annual rate equal to (a) adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate, defined in a customary manner (“Term SOFR”) plus an applicable rate of 2.00 % to 2.75 %, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio (as defined below), or (b) the base rate (determined by reference to the highest of (x) the prime rate, (y) the greater of (i) the federal funds effective rate and (ii) the overnight bank funding rate, in each case, plus 0.50 %, and (z) the one-month adjusted Term SOFR rate plus 1.00 % per annum, subject to customary floors (clauses (x) through (z), the “Base Rate”)) plus an applicable rate of 1.00 % to 1.75 %, based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. Undrawn commitment fees under the Revolving Credit Facility range from 0.30 % to 0.45 % based on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio.
The Credit Agreement provides for incremental revolving and term facilities at the Company’s request and at the discretion of the lenders or other persons providing such incremental facilities, and also permits the Company to incur other secured or unsecured debt, in all cases subject to conditions and limitations on the amount of such incremental facility or other debt as specified in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains certain limitations with respect to indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and other investments, fundamental changes, restrictive agreements, dividends and redemptions or repurchases of stock, prepayments of certain subordinated indebtedness, dispositions of assets and transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions.
The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00, each determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter. Per the Credit Agreement, consolidated total net leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of (a) consolidated funded indebtedness of the Company to (b) last twelve months (“LTM”) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Interest coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of (a) LTM EBITDA to (b) consolidated cash interest expense of the Company. The consolidated total net leverage ratio may be increased at the Company’s option to 3.50 to 1.00 in connection with certain qualifying material acquisitions. The covenants also include restrictions on the sale of certain assets, loans and investments.

Note 7 – Leases
Most of the leases the Company enters into are for equipment, buildings and vehicles as part of its ongoing operations. The Company also leases certain equipment to third parties.
Lessee Accounting
The leases the Company has entered into as part of its ongoing operations are considered operating leases. The corresponding lease costs are included in Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
Generally, operating leases for vehicles and equipment have a term of one to five years 10 years or more. For certain operating leases, lease terms may include the options to extend or terminate the lease. Similarly, building or property operating leases could include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that could extend the lease term by one to five years or more.
The Company also has guaranteed the residual value under certain of its equipment operating leases, agreeing to pay any difference between the residual value and the fair market value of the underlying asset at the date of lease termination. Historically, the fair value of the asset at the time of lease termination generally has approximated or exceeded the residual value guarantee. To date, the Company does not have any residual value guarantee amounts probable of being owed to a lessor, financing leases or material agreements with related parties.
18
In addition, the Company has entered into short-term leases to help support its ongoing operations, consisting primarily of short-term equipment and vehicle leases, and generally have lease terms of less than one year.

Note 8 – Earnings Per Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. The Company calculates diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period, plus the effect of any potentially dilutive securities, except in cases where the effect of such securities would be anti-dilutive.
Basic and diluted EPS were calculated as follows, based on a reconciliation of the weighted average common shares outstanding on a basic and diluted basis:

Note 9 – Stock-Based Compensation
The Company is currently authorized to issue 2.5 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance share awards (“PSAs”) and other stock-based awards under the Everus Construction Group, Inc. Long-Term Performance-Based Incentive Plan (“Everus LTIP”). As of March 31, 2026, there were approximately 2.4 million shares available for issuance, with approximately 2.2 million shares available for grant under the Everus LTIP. There were approximately 0.2 million of outstanding stock awards that were either vested, but unsettled in shares of common stock or nonvested as of March 31, 2026. The Company either purchases shares on the open market or issues new shares of common stock to satisfy the vesting of stock-based awards.
The Company’s compensation committee has the authority to select recipients of awards, determine the type and size of awards, and establish certain terms and conditions of award grants.
Total stock-based compensation expense, including Company participants and non-employee directors, was $2.0 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense was included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
Restricted Stock Units
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company’s compensation committee granted 33,438 and 34,251 time-vesting RSUs to employees under the Everus LTIP at a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $120.02 and $46.54 , respectively. However, 43 time-vesting RSUs of the quantity granted were forfeited during the period. Time-vesting RSUs generally vest ratably in equal installments over three years , contingent on continued employment through the vesting periods. Upon vesting, participants may receive dividends, if any, that accumulate during the vesting period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 34,762 and 18,304 shares of common stock were issued, on a net settlement basis, in connection with vested RSUs, respectively. The gross issuances of 57,658 shares and 30,939 shares of common stock, respectively, were considered noncash transactions, as no cash was exchanged for the shares. However, the Company withheld/repurchased 22,896 shares and 12,635 shares, respectively, to satisfy the employees withholding tax obligations, as evidenced by the financing cash outflows on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Performance Share Awards
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company’s compensation committee granted 40,780 and 51,373 PSAs, at target, under the Everus LTIP, respectively. These PSAs are generally earned over a three-year performance period, with vesting generally at the end of the performance period, dependent upon the achievement of performance measures and continued employment through the vesting period. The target number of shares are split equally between performance and market conditions, subject to rounding differences. Upon vesting, participants may receive dividends, if any, that accumulate during the vesting period.
Under the performance conditions for these PSAs, participants can earn from 0 % to 200 % of the apportioned target grant of shares. The performance conditions are tied to specific financial metrics. The weighted average grant-date fair value per share for the PSAs applicable to these performance conditions issued during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $120.87 and $46.54 , respectively.
Under the market condition for these PSAs, participants can earn from 0 % to 200 % of the apportioned target grant of shares based on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to that of a selected peer group. The weighted average grant-date fair value per share for the PSAs applicable to the market condition issued during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $183.67 and $55.82 , respectively, which was determined by Monte Carlo simulations.
Other Stock Awards
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued 125 shares of common stock to certain non-employee directors who chose to convert a portion of their monthly cash payments for directors’ fees into shares of common stock. The issuance of shares of common stock was considered a noncash transaction, as no cash was exchanged for the shares. There was no such activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Note 10 – Income Taxes
The Company’s quarterly income tax provision is measured using an estimate of its consolidated annual effective tax rate, adjusted in the current period for discrete income tax items, within the periods presented.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, income tax expense was $20.3 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.8 %. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 differed from the 2026 statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal income taxes, and certain unfavorable permanent book-tax differences due to meals and entertainment expenses and non-deductible employee compensation, partially offset by increased research & development tax credits.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, income tax expense was $13.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.0 %. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differed from the 2025 statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes, net of federal income taxes, and certain unfavorable permanent book-tax differences due to meals and entertainment expenses and non-deductible employee compensation.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 differed from the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to changes in the Company’s permanent book-tax differences between those periods, specifically changes in the Company’s state income taxes and increased non-deductible employee compensation, partially offset by a favorable stock compensation book-tax difference.
Note 11 – Segment Information
The Company’s reportable segments are those that are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting and management of the business. The Company provides a full spectrum of construction services across most of the United States through two
E&M: Contracting services for the construction and maintenance of electrical and communication wiring and infrastructure, fire suppression systems, renewables infrastructure and mechanical piping and services to customers in both the public and private sectors.
T&D: Contracting services for the construction and maintenance of overhead and underground electrical, gas, communication infrastructure and transportation-related lighting, as well as the manufacture and distribution of overhead and underground transmission line construction equipment and tools.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is the Company’s chief executive officer (“CEO”). The Company’s CEO evaluates each reportable segment’s performance, allocates resources and makes decisions based on segment operating income, which is the segment measure of profitability. The CODM uses segment operating income to analyze the results of each reportable segment individually and by comparing the results of the segments with each other. This comparison between segments helps drive decision-making regarding resource allocation and compensation of employees. Segment operating income is also considered when creating the annual budget plan, as well as the forecasting process, including the allocation of capital for uses such as capital expenditures.
All intercompany balances and transactions between the businesses comprising the Company have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 12 – Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
The Company is a party to claims and lawsuits arising out of its business, including that of its consolidated subsidiaries, which may include, but are not limited to, matters involving property damage; personal injury; and environmental, contractual, statutory and regulatory obligations. The Company accrues a liability for loss contingencies when the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued. The Company does not accrue liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is probable or reasonably possible and which are material, the Company discloses the nature of the contingency and, in some circumstances, an estimate of the possible loss.
Litigation
As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $2.0
The Company will continue to monitor each matter and adjust accruals as necessary based on new information and further developments. Management believes that the outcomes with respect to probable and reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued, net of insurance recoveries, while uncertain, either cannot be estimated or will not have a material effect upon the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Unless otherwise required by GAAP, legal costs are expensed as they are incurred and are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Company has surety bonds related to construction contracts of its subsidiaries. These bonds relate to certain public and private sector contracts to secure contractual performance, including completion of agreed upon contract terms, timing and price, payments to subcontractors and suppliers, and protection for customers from fraudulent practices. In the event a subsidiary of the Company does not fulfill a bonded obligation, the Company would be responsible to the surety bond company for completion of the bonded contract or obligation. A large portion of the surety bonds are expected to expire within the next 12 months; however, the Company likely will continue to enter into surety bonds for its subsidiaries in the future. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the potential maximum payment amounts the Company would be required to make under the outstanding surety bonds were approximately $692.9 million and $767.7 million, respectively, which were not reflected on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $18.1
25
The Company has outstanding guarantees to third parties for the guarantees of job performance and/or leasing activity of certain subsidiaries of the Company. The job performance guarantees are related to contracts for contracting services. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fixed maximum amounts guaranteed under these agreements aggregated to $769.5 million and $641.1 million, respectively. The scheduled expiration of the maximum amounts guaranteed aggregate to $339.4 million for the remainder of 2026, $389.3 million in 2027, $18.7 million in 2028, $3.3 million in 2029, $3.0 million in 2030 and $15.8 million thereafter. There were no
In addition to the above guarantees, there were $2.2
Note 13 – Related-Party Transactions
Transition Services Agreement
On October 31, 2024, the separation of Everus from MDU Resources Group, Inc. (“MDU Resources”) and its other businesses was completed and Everus became an independent publicly traded company (the “Separation”). As part of the Separation, both parties entered into a transition services agreement whereby the Company and MDU Resources provided certain transition services to each other. The transition services agreement outlined services that were provided between parties related to tax, legal, treasury, human resources, information technology, risk management and other general and administrative functions.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred $1.2 million and $1.3 million of transition services expenses related to services from MDU Resources, respectively, which were reflected in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company deemed $0.5 million of expenses that were previously recognized as transition services expenses in the first quarter of 2025 to be recurring in nature and thus, not transition services expenses and have been excluded from the disclosed amount above.
The Company did not provide any services to MDU Resources for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company received an immaterial amount for its services to MDU Resources for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was reflected in Other income, net on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
The transition services were completed over a period of 17 months, and as of March 31, 2026, there were no further obligations for services that existed for either party.
Note 14 – Subsequent Events
On April 1, 2026, the Company acquired the businesses of SE&M Constructors, Inc., SE&M of the Triangle, Inc. and SECO Rentals, LLC (collectively “SE&M”). SE&M, founded in 1923 and headquartered in Elm City, North Carolina, provides mechanical, electrical and plumbing services to customers across a variety of sectors, including pharmaceutical, complex industrial and healthcare. The Company acquired SE&M for $158 million, subject to certain closing adjustments, funded by cash on hand. Transaction terms also allow for a potential earnout payment, not to exceed an additional 8 % of the purchase price, based on certain post-acquisition performance targets. SE&M is expected to be included in the Company’s E&M segment.
To date, the initial accounting for the acquisition is incomplete. Due to the limited time since the date of acquisition, it is impracticable for the Company to make business combination disclosures related to the acquisition. The Company is still gathering the necessary information to provide such disclosures in future filings.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements that reflect our expectations, assumptions or projections about the future, other than statements of historical facts, including, without limitation, statements regarding plans, trends, objectives, goals, business strategies, market potential, future financial performance and other matters are considered forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “project” and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statements were made. In particular, information included under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of this Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements.
The matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements we make are based on reasonable assumptions as of the date they are made, we can give no assurance that the expectations will be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. For additional information on identifying factors that may cause actual results to vary materially from those stated in forward-looking statements, see the discussion under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report.
You should read this Quarterly Report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from expectations. All forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report are qualified by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and we do not undertake any obligation, other than as may be required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking or cautionary statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of events, unanticipated or otherwise, and changes in future operating results over time or otherwise.
Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends, or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.
Overview
We are a leading construction solutions provider offering specialty contracting services to a diverse set of end markets, which are provided to commercial, industrial, institutional, renewables, service, transportation, utility and other customers. We operate throughout most of the United States through two reportable, operating segments:
Electrical & Mechanical (“E&M”): Contracting services including construction and maintenance of electrical and communication wiring and infrastructure, fire suppression systems, renewables infrastructure and mechanical piping and services in both the public and private sectors.
Transmission & Distribution (“T&D"): Contracting services including construction and maintenance of overhead and underground electrical, gas, communication infrastructure and transportation-related lighting, as well as the manufacture and distribution of overhead and underground transmission line construction equipment and tools.
27
At Everus, people are our core, and we prioritize integrity, safety and growth through comprehensive training, hands-on development, safety compliance metrics and strong union partnerships to instill a safety first culture and ethical leadership across all levels.
We focus on safely executing projects; providing a superior return on investment by building new and strengthening existing customer relationships; ensuring quality service; effectively managing costs; retaining, developing and recruiting talented employees; growing through organic and strategic acquisition opportunities; and focusing efforts on projects that will permit higher margins while properly managing risk. The growth we have experienced in recent years is due in part to the project awards in the end markets and submarkets served and the ability to support national customers in most of the regions in which we operate. Our strong presence in the Western, Midwestern and Eastern regions of the United States has driven opportunities in data centers, high tech, hospitality and utilities, while customer expansion nationwide continues to extend our reach through partnerships through our 16 wholly owned operating companies, including SE&M, which was acquired on April 1, 2026. SE&M expands our geographic footprint in the Southeast region of the United States.
In particular, we currently generate a significant portion of our revenues from data center and other similar high tech and advanced technology contracts and our revenue mix has changed significantly in the last couple of years. Data center capacity and load growth, as well as other advanced technology growth, creates tremendous opportunities, but also presents risks and challenges for us and our customers. While we believe there is still strong demand for these types of projects in the foreseeable future, we cannot guarantee that will be the case. The loss of, or reduction in business from, these types of contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For more information on the associated risks, see the discussion under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report.
Economic and Industry Factors Impacting Our Business
We have experienced increased insurance costs and anticipate continued increases in insurance costs. Premiums in the insurance industry have risen due to many factors, such as economic inflation and a rise in insurance carriers’ losses, in particular for wildfire risks. We experienced these aforementioned impacts with coverage for our insurance lines on a standalone basis following the Separation and again saw increases in insurance costs during our latest renewal cycle, partially due to our revenue growth during 2025 at the time of renewal. However, we are continuing to formulate strategies to minimize these costs and/or ensuring these costs are built into our bidding opportunities going forward.
Despite these increased costs, we are focused on growing our total revenues, expanding gross margins, managing costs and generating cash, all of which would result in increased operating income.
Market Conditions and Outlook
The U.S. construction services industry is highly fragmented. It includes a wide spectrum of players, from small, private companies whose activities are geographically concentrated to larger public companies with nationwide capabilities. Competition within the industry is influenced by various elements such as technical expertise, service pricing, financial and operational resources, track record for safety, industry reputation and dependability.
The U.S. construction services industry serves a diverse customer base that includes federal, state and municipal governmental agencies, commercial and residential developers and private parties. The mix of customers varies by region and economic conditions.
The main factors and trends in the U.S. construction services industry include:
•Key economic factors. Many factors affect product demand, including public spending on infrastructure projects, general economic conditions, including population growth and employment levels, imposed and proposed tariffs, U.S. involvement or indirect effects from global conflicts and prevailing interest rates.
•Inflation. Rising inflation can increase the cost of construction materials, labor and insurance premiums, impacting project budgets and profitability.
•Industry fragmentation. There are thousands of construction services providers of varying scope and size. Market participants may enter new geographies or expand existing positions through organic growth or the acquisition of existing providers.
•Seasonality. Activity in certain areas is seasonal due to the effects of weather, which can impact safety and efficiency of operations but could also lead to demand for our services.
28
•Cyclicality. The demand for construction services is significantly influenced by the cyclical nature of the economy.
•Regulations. Operations are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to the maintenance of safe conditions in the workplace.
•Production inputs. Cost of labor, equipment and other inputs can vary over time based on macroeconomic factors and impact profitability of operations.
•Personnel. Ability to maintain productivity and operating performance is heavily dependent on the ability to employ, train and retain qualified personnel necessary to operate efficiently.
We continued to have bidding opportunities in the specialty contracting markets we have operated in during 2026, as evidenced by our backlog, even with our revenue growth during the fiscal year thus far. We believe our backlog supports our strong project pipeline across our diverse service offerings, particularly for data center, hospitality and high tech work. With our successful track record of executing on complex projects, our long-term customer relationships, safe and skilled workforce, quality of service and effective cost management, we believe we remain well-positioned to benefit from favorable demand drivers, including high tech reshoring, data center construction and utility infrastructure investments, giving us the opportunity to continue securing and executing profitable projects in the future.

Operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $1.04 billion, an increase of $210.3 million, or 25.4%, from $826.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. E&M revenues grew $186.9 million, or 28.8%, and T&D revenues increased $19.5 million, or 10.5%. See “Segment Results of Operations–Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025” for further comparative analysis of segment revenues for the periods indicated.
Changes in estimates associated with performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods positively net impacted revenues and accounted for approximately 5.4% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 4.6% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
29
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the changes in estimates mentioned above favorably accounted for approximately 6.4% of revenues, compared to 6.0% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Favorable impacts to revenues were primarily due to project pull forward, labor efficiencies and favorable impacts from projected cost changes, including material costs, project risk mitigation and change orders. However, these changes in estimates unfavorably accounted for approximately 1.0% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 1.4% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Unfavorable impacts to revenues were primarily due to labor inefficiencies related to sequencing on projects and unfavorable impacts from project delays and cost overruns.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $906.2 million, an increase of $172.1 million, or 23.4%, from $734.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This increase primarily related to higher E&M and T&D operating costs due to increased workloads and changes in project mix, partially offset by efficient project execution. Subcontractor, labor, material, and equipment and tools costs increased $53.5 million, $51.6 million, $35.2 million and $17.4 million, respectively, along with higher other job expenses of $14.4 million.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $130.7 million, an increase of $38.2 million, or 41.3%, from $92.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to continued revenue growth from increased workloads, project timing and efficient project execution, partially offset by changes in project mix. Gross margin improved to 12.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 11.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $53.0 million, an increase of $11.5 million, or 27.7%, from $41.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was driven primarily by higher labor of $5.9 million, to support operational growth of the business, higher other SG&A expenses of $5.0 million, and lower net credit loss reversals of $1.7 million, partially offset by lower professional service-related expenses of $1.1 million.
Operating Income
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $77.7 million, an increase of $26.7 million, or 52.4%, from $51.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased gross profit, partially offset by increased SG&A expenses, both of which are discussed above. Operating income margin increased to 7.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 6.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. See “Segment Results of Operations–Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2025” for further comparative analysis of segment operating income and “Corporate and Other” category operating income for the periods indicated.
Interest Income
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $2.3 million, an increase of $1.4 million, from $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased interest income of $1.3 million from our central cash management program, including daily cash sweep and money market deposit account programs, as well as $0.1 million of earned interest income from our captive insurance arrangement for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $4.6 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 17.9%, from $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is primarily related to average lower debt balances under the Term Loan (as defined below) and average lower interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $0.6 million, flat from $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Other income, net contained miscellaneous income and expense activities, including rebates and bank fees.
30
Income Taxes
Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $20.3 million, an increase of $6.7 million, or 49.3%, from $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting higher income taxes from greater pretax income for the period. The effective tax rate was 25.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 27.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Income from Equity Method Investments
Income from equity method investments for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $2.6 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 23.5%, from $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease primarily related to decreased activity on joint ventures for the period.
Net Income
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $58.3 million, an increase of $21.6 million, or 58.9%, from $36.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily from increased gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses, and higher taxes on greater pretax income. Net income margin increased to 5.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 4.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Operating Revenues
E&M
E&M segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $835.1 million, an increase of $186.9 million, or 28.8%, from $648.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues in the commercial and renewables end markets, particularly continued growth in the data center submarket, partially offset by decreased revenues in the institutional, industrial and service & other end markets.
•Commercial revenues grew $235.5 million primarily from higher data center and hospitality submarket activity due to increased workloads from increased demand for services.
•Renewables revenues increased $2.8 million with increased project activity within the commercial submarket, partially offset by lower project activity in the generation submarket due to the timing of projects.
31
•Institutional revenues declined $41.6 million from lower project activity due to project timing and decreased demand for services in the healthcare, education and government submarkets.
•Industrial revenues decreased $8.0 million with reduced project activity in the oil & gas and manufacturing submarkets, partially offset by higher workloads in the high tech submarket.
•Service & other revenues were lower by $1.8 million due to decreased repair and maintenance demand.
Changes in estimates associated with performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods positively net impacted E&M revenues and accounted for approximately 5.6% of E&M revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 4.6% of E&M revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the changes in estimates mentioned above favorably accounted for approximately 6.4% of E&M revenues, compared to 5.6% of E&M revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025. However, these changes in estimates unfavorably accounted for approximately 0.8% of E&M revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 1.0% of E&M revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The primary drivers of favorable and unfavorable impacts to revenues were previously mentioned in the consolidated results of operations sections above.
T&D
T&D segment revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $204.4 million, an increase of $19.4 million, or 10.5%, from $185.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased workloads in the utility end market.
•Utility revenues increased $19.3 million from increased project activity across the transmission and storm submarkets due to timing of project availability.
•Transportation revenues were relatively flat with higher workloads in the traffic signalization submarket, partially offset by reduced project activity in the street lighting submarket.
Changes in estimates associated with performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods positively net impacted T&D revenues and accounted for approximately 4.4% of T&D revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 4.3% of T&D revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the changes in estimates mentioned above favorably accounted for approximately 6.3% of T&D revenues, compared to 6.9% of T&D revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025. However, these changes in estimates unfavorably accounted for approximately 1.9% of T&D revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 2.6% of T&D revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The primary drivers of favorable and unfavorable impacts to revenues were previously mentioned in the consolidated results of operations sections above.
Operating Income
E&M
E&M segment operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $70.6 million, an increase of $26.3 million, or 59.4%, from $44.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by E&M segment revenue growth and higher gross profit in the commercial and renewables end markets, due to solid project execution and project timing, partially offset by changes in project mix and lower gross profit within the industrial end market. As a result, gross margin increased to 12.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 10.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Operating income was also impacted by higher SG&A expenses, primarily including increased labor expenses of $3.3 million and lower expected credit loss reversals of $1.6 million. Operating income margin for our E&M segment increased to 8.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 6.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
32
T&D
Operating income in the T&D segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $20.3 million, an increase of $5.8 million, or 40.0%, from $14.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was the result of higher gross profit due to T&D segment revenue growth and efficient project execution, particularly within the utility end market, with T&D gross margin expansion of 14.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 12.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Operating income was also impacted by higher SG&A expenses, primarily from increased labor expenses of $1.0 million. Operating income margin for our T&D segment increased to 9.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 7.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Corporate and Other
The increase in Corporate and Other costs during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to higher labor expenses of $1.6 million to support the operational growth of the business and $2.4 million of acquisition-related costs during the current period, along with higher other general SG&A expenses of $2.1 million.
Backlog
Backlog is a common measurement in the construction services industry. Our determination of backlog can include projects that have a written award, a letter of intent, a notice to proceed, an agreed upon work order to perform work on mutually accepted terms, and conditions and change orders or claims to the extent management believes additional contract revenues will be earned and are deemed probable of collection. Contracts are subject to delays, defaults or cancellations; changes in scope of services to be provided; and adjustments to costs. Backlog may also be affected by project delays or cancellations resulting from weather conditions, external market factors and economic factors beyond our control, among other things. Accordingly, there is no assurance that backlog will be realized. For the periods presented in the backlog table below, we did not experience any material impacts related to delays or cancellations of planned projects that were included in backlog. The timing of contract awards, including contracts awarded underneath master service agreements, duration of large new contracts and the mix of services can significantly affect backlog. Backlog at any given point in time may not accurately represent the revenue or net income that is realized in any period, and backlog as of the end of the period may not be indicative of the revenue or net income expected to be realized within the next 12 months. Backlog should not be relied upon as a standalone indicator of future results. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our 2025 Annual Report for factors that could cause revenues to be realized in periods and at levels that are different from originally projected.
Subject to the foregoing discussions, the following table provides estimated backlog as of the dates indicated and the amounts we reasonably estimate will be recognized within the next 12 months following March 31, 2026:
Amounts estimated to be recognized within 12 months | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | March 31, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Total | $ | 2,932.8 | $ | 3,680.1 | $ | 3,228.3 | $ | 3,057.5 | ||||||||||||||||||
Changes in backlog from period to period are primarily the result of fluctuations in the timing of contract awards and timing of revenue recognition of contracts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
All financial information presented in this Quarterly Report has been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), except for the presentation of the following non-GAAP financial measures: EBITDA, EBITDA margin and free cash flow. We evaluate our operating performance using EBITDA and EBITDA margin, and we evaluate our liquidity using free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended as alternatives to GAAP financial measures and have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, EBITDA, EBITDA margin and free cash flow should not be considered as replacements for net income, net income margin or cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most comparable GAAP measures, respectively. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized; therefore, it may not be possible to compare them with other companies’ EBITDA, EBITDA margin and free cash flow having the same or similar names.
EBITDA and EBITDA Margin
We utilize EBITDA and EBITDA margin to consistently assess our operating performance and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting, since we believe that EBITDA closely correlates to long-term enterprise value. We believe that measuring performance on an EBITDA basis is useful to investors, because it enables a more consistent evaluation of our operational performance period to period. We also believe these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures of net income and net income margin, are useful to investors to provide meaningful information about operational efficiency by excluding the impacts of differences in tax jurisdictions and structures, debt levels and capital investment. Investors also may use EBITDA to calculate leverage as a multiple of EBITDA. We use EBITDA and EBITDA margin, in addition to GAAP metrics, to evaluate our operating results, calculate compensation packages and determine leverage as a multiple of EBITDA to establish the appropriate funding of operations.
EBITDA is calculated by adding back interest expense, net of interest income, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization to net income. EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by operating revenues. EBITDA and EBITDA margin are considered non-GAAP financial measures and are comparable to the corresponding GAAP measures of net income and net income margin, respectively.
The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA and provides the calculation of EBITDA margin.

Free Cash Flow
We use free cash flow as a measure of liquidity that indicates how much cash we can produce after taking cash outflows from operations and assets into consideration. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measure of cash provided by (used in) operating activities, is useful to investors because it provides meaningful information about our financial health and our ability to generate cash, support additional debt obligations, pay potential future dividends and fund growth. Free cash flow does not represent our residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less net capital expenditures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $293.4 million and $170.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, respectively, including $18.4 million and $17.8 million of restricted cash held by the Captive Cell, respectively.
On April 2, 2026, we announced the acquisition of SE&M for $158 million, subject to certain closing adjustments, funded by cash on hand.
To fund day-to-day operations, we may use cash on hand and third-party credit facilities that are available through certain credit arrangements we have in place. In addition, we have a centralized cash management model to monitor and help maximize daily cash flows for our cash needs.
Our ability to fund our cash needs depends on the ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and obtain debt financing with competitive rates. We rely on access to capital markets as sources of liquidity for capital requirements not satisfied by cash flows from operations.
Our principal uses of cash are to fund our operations, working capital needs, capital expenditures, repayment of borrowings and strategic business development transactions.
On October 31, 2024, we entered into a five-year senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), whereby we have the capacity to incur indebtedness of up to $525.0 million, consisting of a $300.0 million term loan (“Term Loan”), in aggregate principal amount, and a $225.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”). Letters of credit are available under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount of up to $50.0 million.
The Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility both bear interest at an annual rate equal to adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate, defined in a customary manner (“Term SOFR”) plus an applicable rate.
The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio of 3.00:1.00 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00:1.00, in each case, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The consolidated total net leverage ratio may be increased at our option to 3.50:1.00 in connection with certain qualifying material acquisitions. The covenants also include restrictions on the sale of certain assets, loans and investments.
The Term Loan requires quarterly amortization payments of 5.00% per annum of the original principal amount thereof. We repaid our required quarterly amortization payments totaling $3.8 million of the Term Loan during each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
35
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $281.2 million and $285.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan, respectively, with $228.2 million of available capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of $2.2 million of outstanding standby letters of credit, for each period presented.
In order to borrow under the debt instruments, we must be in compliance with the applicable covenants and certain other conditions, all of which we were in compliance with as of March 31, 2026. Non-compliance with applicable covenants or conditions may constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement. Subject to any applicable cure periods, failure to remedy such a default may require us to pursue alternative sources of funding. For additional information on our debt arrangements, refer to Note 6 – Debt in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Working Capital
Working capital, defined as current assets minus current liabilities, was $617.2 million and $560.2 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our working capital requirements may increase when we commence multiple projects or particularly large projects because labor, subcontractor, inventory and certain other costs typically become payable before the receivables resulting from work performed are collected. Working capital may also increase when we incur costs for work that is the subject of unpaid retainage, change orders and claims. The typical payment billing terms are due within 30 days but may differ depending on contract terms. Retention on receivables can impact the cash collection cycle beyond expenses incurred. The timing of billings and project completions can contribute to changes in unbilled revenue. As of March 31, 2026, we expect that substantially all unbilled receivables will be billed to customers in the normal course of business within the next 12 months.
Capital Expenditures
Our cash capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $15.5 million, or $11.8 million net of proceeds from asset disposals, compared to $18.5 million, or $15.2 million net of proceeds from asset disposals, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Capital expenditures were primarily used for vehicle, equipment and building investments to support the growth of our business. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, capital expenditures were funded by internal sources and borrowings under our credit and financing arrangements.
We expect capital expenditures and commitments for equipment purchase, lease and rental arrangements to be necessary for the foreseeable future in order to meet anticipated demand for our services. We still expect gross capital expenditures for full-year 2026 to be in the range of $90.0 million to $100.0 million. Actual capital expenditures may increase or decrease depending upon business activity levels, as well as ongoing assessments of equipment leasing versus purchasing decisions based on short- and long-term equipment requirements. We continuously monitor our capital expenditures for project delays and changes in economic viability and adjust, as necessary. We anticipate that the combination of cash on hand, cash flows from operations, credit facilities and issuances of debt and equity securities, if necessary, will provide sufficient funding to enable us to meet the need of future capital expenditures.
We also continue to evaluate the potential for future acquisitions and other growth opportunities that would be incremental to our capital program; however, they are dependent on the availability of opportunities and, as a result, capital expenditures may vary significantly from the estimated range provided.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $143.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $136.6 million. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities to support company growth, including revenue growth, and increased operating results.
These changes in operating assets and liabilities drove an increase in cash period-over-period with a source of cash of $66.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a use of cash of $33.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The changes in operating assets and liabilities period-over-period were primarily related to increases in cash from changes in net contract liabilities, contract assets and other current assets of $60.6 million, $52.6 million and $19.2 million, respectively, partially offset by decreases in cash from changes in other current liabilities, receivables and accounts payable of $12.2 million, $10.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities totaled $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.5 million in cash used in investing. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to lower net capital expenditures of $3.4 million, partially offset by proceeds from insurance contracts of $2.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and decreases in cash from changes in investments of $0.7 million.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities totaled $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase in cash used in financing activities of $2.2 million. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily the result of higher cash outflows related to the tax withholding on stock-based compensation.
Material Cash Requirements
There were no material changes in our contractual obligations from those reported in our 2025 Annual Report. For more information on our contractual obligations, refer to “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Material Cash Requirements” in our 2025 Annual Report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As is common in our industry, we enter into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business that result in risks not directly reflected on our balance sheet. Our significant off-balance sheet transactions can include, but are not limited to, surety guarantees, performance guarantees, letters of credit obligations and firm purchase commitments for maintenance items, materials and lease obligations.
Some of our customers require us to post performance bonds issued by a surety. Those bonds guarantee the customer that we will perform under the terms of a contract. In the event that we fail to perform under a contract, the customer may demand the surety to pay or perform under our bond. Surety bonds expire at various times ranging from final completion of a project to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances. Such amounts also can fluctuate from period to period based upon the mix and level of our bonded operating activity. Our relationship with our sureties is such that we will indemnify the sureties for any expenses they incur in connection with any of the bonds they issue on our behalf.
As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had approximately $2.10 billion in surety bonds outstanding for projects. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, approximately $1.66 billion of bonding was posted for E&M for each period presented, and approximately $415.4 million and $410.0 million of bonding was posted for T&D, respectively. In addition, approximately $27.9 million of bonding was posted for Corporate and other for each period presented. These amounts were not reflected on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the potential maximum payment amounts we would be required to make under the outstanding surety bonds were approximately $692.9 million and $767.7 million, respectively.
As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $18.1 million of surety-backed standby letters of credit that were included in the bonding posted for Corporate and Other.
37
To date, we are not aware of any losses in connection with surety bonds that have been posted on our behalf, and we do not expect to incur significant losses in the foreseeable future. If we experience changes in our bonding relationships or if there are adverse changes in the surety industry, there would be no assurance that we would be able to effectuate alternatives to providing surety bonds to our customers or to obtain, on favorable terms, sufficient additional work that does not require surety bonds. Accordingly, a reduction in the availability of surety bonds could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, financial results and cash flows.
We also guarantee obligations of our subsidiaries under certain contracts. Generally, we are liable under such an arrangement only if our subsidiary fails to perform its obligations under the contract. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fixed maximum amounts guaranteed under these agreements aggregated to $769.5 million and $641.1 million, respectively. Historically, we have not incurred any substantial liabilities as a consequence of these guarantees. However, in the event of default under these guarantee obligations, we would be required to make payments to satisfy our guarantees.
In addition to the above guarantees, there were $2.2 million of outstanding standby letters of credit for certain guarantees to third parties under our under our Revolving Credit Facility as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. In the event we default under these letter-of-credit obligations, we would be obligated for reimbursement of payments made under the letters of credit.
We do not have any other material financial guarantees or off-balance sheet arrangements other than those disclosed herein. For more information on the circumstances regarding our guarantees and off-balance sheet arrangements, refer to Note 12 – Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates from those that were disclosed in our 2025 Annual Report. For further information regarding our critical accounting estimates, please refer to “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates” included in our 2025 Annual Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including the effects of interest rate changes, commodity price risk and inflation. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below. For more information on our risk factors, including market risk factors, that could be materially harmful to our business, prospects, financial condition and/or financial results if they occur, please refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report.
Interest Rate Risk
The primary objective of our investment activities is to maintain cash reserves to meet captive insurance obligations, employee compensation and benefit obligations, and contractual obligations. A mismatch between the duration of liabilities and the duration of investments could expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates fluctuate, the value of assets may not adequately cover liabilities. And if our investments mature during a period of lower interest rates, we may face reinvestment risk and potentially earn less income on reinvested funds. We will continue to evaluate our investments in order to ensure that we continue to meet our overall objectives. We have a captive insurance arrangement in order to manage our casualty and operational risk.
38
We are exposed to interest rate volatility with regard to our long-term debt obligations, which bear interest at variable rates. As of March 31, 2026, we had $281.2 million outstanding under the Term Loan and no outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility. Outstanding amounts, if any, for the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility both bear interest at Term SOFR plus an applicable rate exposing us to higher interest rate risk. As of March 31, 2026, the interest rate was 5.70% for the Term Loan. Therefore, a 1% increase to the variable interest rate would have increased the rate to 6.70% and increased our interest expense by approximately $2.8 million based on the expected balances outstanding for the Term Loan over the next 12 months as of March 31, 2026. Going forward, the level of our interest rate risk will depend on our utilization of the Revolving Credit Facility and the outstanding debt amount under the Term Loan and will be sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates.
Commodity Price and Inflation Risk
Our operations are affected by fluctuations in commodity prices whether caused by inflation, imposed and proposed tariffs, involvement or indirect effects from global conflicts or other economic factors. These fluctuations in commodity prices generally affect us by increasing transportation and construction costs due to higher fuel or material and/or supply prices including, but not limited to, prices for copper, aluminum, steel, electrical components and certain plastics.
In addition, the cost of labor may increase due to similar factors mentioned above, such as inflation or other economic factors. While we do not believe that these factors have had a material effect on our business, financial condition, or financial results for the periods included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we continue to monitor the impact of such factors in order to minimize their effects through our pricing strategies, productivity improvements and cost reductions. If our costs were to become subject to significant economic and/or inflationary pressures, we may be unable to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and/or financial results.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The following information includes the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures by the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, along with any significant changes in internal controls of the Company.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Company's disclosure controls and other procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. The Company's disclosure controls and other procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and other procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, such controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
39
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
The Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or its internal control over financial reporting will detect or prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements and cannot guarantee that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
