Primoris (PRIM) Q1 earnings drop while backlog and PayneCrest deal grow
Primoris Services Corporation reported softer first-quarter 2026 results as Energy segment weakness outweighed growth in Utilities. Revenue was $1.56 billion, down 5.4% from $1.65 billion a year earlier, reflecting lower renewable energy activity and slower project starts.
Net income fell to $17.4 million from $44.2 million, and diluted EPS declined to $0.32 from $0.81, as gross margin compressed to 8.6% from 10.4%. Energy segment margins were pressured by project redesigns, labor productivity challenges, unfavorable weather and lower volumes, while Utilities revenue grew 12.3% with modest margin improvement.
Operating cash flow swung to a $122.6 million use of cash versus $66.2 million provided in the prior year, driven largely by changes in working capital such as lower accounts payable and contract liabilities. The company continued using its $250 million Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility, with $125.0 million of receivables sold and derecognized.
Backlog remained strong at $11.64 billion, with $5.27 billion expected over the next 12 months. After quarter-end, Primoris closed the $399.5 million all-cash acquisition of PayneCrest Electric and amended its credit agreement, increasing the term loan to $779.6 million and expanding the revolver to $750.0 million to support future growth.
Positive
- Utilities segment growth and margin improvement: Utilities revenue rose 12.3% year over year to $632.9 million, and segment operating income increased 68.5% to $30.5 million, with gross margin improving to 9.8%.
- Strong contracted backlog: Total backlog was $11.64 billion at March 31, 2026, with $5.27 billion expected over the next 12 months, supporting future revenue visibility across Utilities and Energy.
- Strategic PayneCrest acquisition: The $399.5 million all-cash purchase of PayneCrest Electric expands Primoris’s electrical construction capabilities and increases exposure to high-growth data center and advanced facilities markets within the Energy segment.
- Enhanced financing capacity: The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement increased the term loan to $779.6 million and expanded the revolving credit facility to $750.0 million, extending maturity to May 1, 2031 and adding liquidity for growth initiatives.
Negative
- Sharp earnings decline and margin compression: Net income fell to $17.4 million from $44.2 million, with gross margin dropping to 8.6% from 10.4%, mainly due to higher costs and lower margins on certain Energy segment renewable projects.
- Energy segment weakness: Energy revenue decreased 13.8% to $955.4 million and operating income fell 62.2% to $29.8 million, reflecting slower project starts, increased costs from redesigns and labor challenges, and unfavorable weather.
- Negative operating cash flow: Net cash used in operating activities was $122.6 million versus $66.2 million provided a year earlier, driven by working capital outflows including lower accounts payable and contract liabilities.
- Higher leverage from acquisition financing: The PayneCrest acquisition was funded with a larger term loan and cash on hand, increasing total debt to $455.9 million at quarter-end and committing to additional quarterly principal payments through 2031.
Insights
Earnings and cash flow weakened, but backlog and a major acquisition position Primoris for future growth.
Primoris saw Q1 2026 revenue slip 5.4% to $1.56 billion, with net income dropping to $17.4 million from $44.2 million. The Energy segment was the main drag, as renewable projects faced redesigns, sequencing changes, productivity issues and bad weather, cutting segment margin to 7.6%.
Utilities revenue grew 12.3% to $632.9 million, and segment operating income rose 68.5% to $30.5 million, showing solid demand in power delivery and gas operations. However, consolidated gross margin fell to 8.6%, SG&A rose 6.3%, and transaction costs of $4.5 million tied to the PayneCrest deal further compressed operating income.
Operating cash flow turned negative at $122.6 million used, versus $66.2 million generated a year earlier, largely due to working capital swings such as lower accounts payable and contract liabilities. Yet backlog stayed robust at $11.64 billion, and the $399.5 million PayneCrest acquisition plus an upsized credit facility could bolster the Energy segment’s data center and industrial exposure once integrated.

PRIMORIS SERVICES CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in Millions, Except Share and Per Share Amounts)
(Unaudited)
Note 1—Nature of Business
Organization and operations — Primoris Services Corporation is a leading provider of critical infrastructure services operating mainly in the United States and Canada. We provide a wide range of construction, maintenance, replacement, and engineering services to a diversified base of customers through our
We have longstanding customer relationships with solar facility developers, power producers, gas and electric utilities, refining, petrochemical, communications, midstream, downstream, and engineering companies, as well as transportation agencies across our core markets. We provide our services to a diversified base of customers, under a range of contracting options. A portion of our services are provided under Master Service Agreements (“MSA”), which are generally multi-year agreements. The remainder of our services are generated from contracts for specific construction or installation projects.
We are incorporated in the State of Delaware, and our corporate headquarters are located at 2300 N. Field Street, Suite 1900, Dallas, Texas 75201. Unless specifically noted otherwise, as used throughout these condensed consolidated financial statements, “Primoris”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” or “its” refers to the business, operations and financial results of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Reportable Segments — Our current reportable segments are the Utilities segment and the Energy segment. See Note 13 — “Reportable Segments” for a brief description of the reportable segments and their operations.
The classification of revenue, gross profit, and operating income for segment reporting purposes can at times require judgment on the part of management. Our segments may perform services across industries or perform joint services for customers in multiple industries. To determine reportable segment gross profit and operating income, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, such as facility costs, equipment costs, selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and indirect operating expenses, were made.
Note 2—Basis of Presentation
Interim condensed consolidated financial statements — The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As such, certain disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 24, 2026, which contains our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, have been omitted.
This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The interim financial information is unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim information includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial information.
Restricted cash — Restricted cash consists primarily of cash balances that are restricted as to withdrawal or usage and contract retention payments made by customers into escrow bank accounts and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Escrow cash accounts are released to us by customers as projects are completed in accordance with contract terms.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”. This ASU requires an entity to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. It also requires an entity to include certain amounts that are
10
Table of Contents
already required to be disclosed under current U.S. GAAP in the same disclosure. Additionally, it requires an entity to disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and to disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments prospectively for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. This ASU will likely result in us including additional required disclosures in the financial statement footnotes, but is not expected to have an effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 3—Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 addresses fair value GAAP for financial assets and financial liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period and for non-financial assets and liabilities that are remeasured and reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices (unadjusted) 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.
The following table presents, for each of the fair value hierarchy levels identified under ASC 820, our financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025 (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date | |||||||

Other financial instruments not listed in the table consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities. These financial instruments generally approximate fair value based on their short-term nature. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates fair value based on comparison with current prevailing market rates for loans of similar risks and maturities.
Note 4—Revenue
We generate revenue under a range of contracting types, including fixed-price, unit-price, time and material, and cost reimbursable plus fee contracts, each of which has a different risk profile. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, $
We evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as one single performance obligation and whether a single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, defines a performance obligation as a contractual promise to transfer a distinct
11
Table of Contents
good or service to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Our evaluation requires significant judgment and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate a contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, is not distinct. However, occasionally we have contracts with multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the observable standalone selling price, if available, or alternatively our best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct performance obligation in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected cost plus a margin approach for each performance obligation.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $
Accounting for long-term contracts involves the use of various techniques to estimate total transaction price and costs. For long-term contracts, transaction price, estimated cost at completion and total costs incurred to date are used to calculate revenue earned. Unforeseen events and circumstances can alter the estimate of the costs and potential profit associated with a particular contract. Total estimated costs, and thus contract revenue and income, can be impacted by changes in productivity, scheduling, the unit cost of labor, subcontracts, materials and equipment. Additionally, external factors such as weather, client needs, client delays in providing permits and approvals, labor availability, governmental regulation including trade and tariffs, politics and pandemics may affect the progress of a project’s completion, and thus the timing of revenue recognition. To the extent that original cost estimates are modified, estimated costs to complete increase, delivery schedules are delayed, or progress under a contract is otherwise impeded, cash flow, revenue recognition and profitability from a particular contract may be adversely affected.
The nature of our contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including contract modifications (change orders and claims), liquidated damages, volume discounts, performance bonuses, incentive fees, and other terms that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. We estimate variable consideration as the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent we believe we have an enforceable right, and it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Our estimates of variable consideration and the determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us at this time.
Contract modifications result from changes in contract specifications or requirements. We consider unapproved change orders to be contract modifications for which customers have not agreed to both scope and price. We consider claims to be contract modifications for which we seek, or will seek, to collect from customers, or others, for customer-caused changes in contract specifications or design, or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs on which there is no agreement with customers. Claims can also be caused by non-customer-caused changes, such as rain or other weather delays. Costs associated with contract modifications are included in the estimated costs to complete the contracts and are treated as project costs when incurred. In most instances, contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct, and, therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price, and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. In some cases, settlement of contract modifications may not occur until after completion of work under the contract.
As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, we review and update our contract-related estimates regularly. We recognize adjustments in estimated profit on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the cumulative impact of the profit adjustment is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance are recognized using the adjusted estimate. In the three months ended March 31, 2026, revenue was negatively impacted by $

As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $
In all forms of contracts, we estimate the collectability of contract amounts at the same time that we estimate project costs. If we anticipate that there may be issues associated with the collectability of the full amount calculated as the transaction price, we may reduce the amount recognized as revenue to reflect the uncertainty associated with realization of the eventual cash collection. For example, when a cost reimbursable project exceeds the client’s expected budget amount, the client frequently requests an adjustment to the final amount. Similarly, some utility clients reserve the right to audit costs for significant periods after performance of the work.
The timing of when we bill our customers is generally dependent upon agreed-upon contractual terms, milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of the work, or when services are provided. Sometimes, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in unbilled revenue, which is a contract asset. Also, we sometimes receive advances or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in deferred revenue, which is a contract liability.
The caption “Contract assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the following:
| ● | unbilled revenue, which arises when revenue has been recorded but the amount will not be billed until a later date; |
| ● | retainage amounts for the portion of the contract price earned by us for work performed, but held for payment by the customer as a form of security until we reach certain construction milestones; and |
| ● | contract materials for certain job specific materials not yet installed, which are valued using the specific identification method relating to the cost incurred to a specific project. |

Each of these contract types has a different risk profile. Typically, we assume more risk with fixed-price contracts. Unforeseen events and circumstances can alter the estimate of the costs and potential profit associated with a particular fixed-price contract. However, these types of contracts offer additional profits when we complete the work for less cost than originally estimated. Unit-price and cost reimbursable contracts generally subject us to lower risk. Accordingly, the associated fees are usually lower than fees earned on fixed-price contracts. Under these contracts, our profit may vary if actual costs vary significantly from the negotiated rates.

Note 8—Income Taxes
We are subject to tax liabilities imposed by multiple jurisdictions. We determine our best estimate of the annual effective tax rate at each interim period using expected annual pre-tax earnings, statutory tax rates and available tax planning opportunities. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur, which can cause variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as an income tax expense.
The effective tax rate on income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, was

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. However, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based upon consideration of available evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future projected taxable income, the length of the tax asset carryforward periods and tax planning strategies. The effects of remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from changes in tax rates are recognized in income in the period of enactment.

Note 11—Leases
We lease administrative and operational facilities, which are generally longer-term, project specific facilities or yards, and construction equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. Operating leases are included in “Operating lease assets”, “Accrued liabilities”, and “Noncurrent operating lease liabilities, net of current portion” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We also made an accounting policy election in which leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and lease payments are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. In determining our lease term, we include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. For our leases that do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. Lease expense from minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Our leases have remaining lease terms that expire at various dates through 2035, some of which may include

Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies
Legal proceedings — We are subject to claims and legal proceedings arising out of our business. We record costs related to contingencies when a loss from such claims is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. In determining whether it is possible to provide an estimate of loss, or range of possible loss, we review and evaluate our litigation and regulatory matters on a quarterly basis in light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments. If we determine an unfavorable outcome is not probable or reasonably estimable, we do not accrue for a potential litigation loss.
Management is unable to ascertain the ultimate outcome of claims and legal proceedings; however, after review and consultation with counsel and taking into consideration relevant insurance coverage and related deductibles/self-insurance retentions, management believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims and believes that the reasonably possible outcome of such claims will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.
Representation and Warranty Insurance Recoveries — We have obtained representation and warranty insurance to insure us against potential losses resulting from breaches of certain representations and warranties in connection with certain prior acquisitions. When appropriate, we file claims to recover losses attributable to breaches of representations or warranties by a selling party. The size of claim and amount of recovery can vary, but in some cases could have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.
Bonding — As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had bid and payment/performance bonds issued and outstanding totaling approximately $
Note 13—Reportable Segments
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is our President and Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviews operating and financial performance based on our operating segments. We have aggregated our operating segments into
Each of our reportable segments is composed of similar business units that specialize in services unique to the segment. Driving the end-user focused segments are differences in the economic characteristics of each segment, the nature of the services provided by each segment, the production processes of each segment, the type or class of customer using the segment’s services, the methods used by the segment to provide the services, and the regulatory environment of each segment’s customers.
The classification of certain operating expenses and SG&A expenses for segment reporting purposes can at times require judgment on the part of management. Our segments may perform services across industries or perform joint services for customers in multiple industries. To determine reportable segment profitability, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, as well as general and administrative costs are made. Certain of our fixed assets are used on an interchangeable basis across both reportable segments.
19
Table of Contents
The following is a brief description of the reportable segments:
The Utilities segment operates throughout the United States and specializes in a range of services, including the installation and maintenance of new and existing natural gas and electric utility distribution and transmission systems, and communications systems.
The Energy segment operates throughout the United States and Canada and specializes in a range of services that include engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance services for entities in the energy, renewable energy and energy storage, renewable fuels, and petroleum and petrochemical industries, as well as state departments of transportation.
Corporate and non-allocated costs include corporate facility and property costs; corporate salaries, benefits, incentive compensation and non-cash stock-based compensation; and acquisition and integration costs.
Segment Operating Income
Operating income is calculated as revenue less cost of revenue and SG&A costs. Cost of revenue includes certain direct and indirect costs such as labor and materials, equipment, depreciation, and subcontractor costs. SG&A includes compensation and benefits for executive, management level and administrative employees, marketing and communications, professional fees, rent for facilities and utilities, amortization, and other general costs required to run our business.

Introduction
We are a leading provider of infrastructure services operating mainly in the United States and Canada. We provide a wide range of construction, maintenance, replacement, and engineering services to a diversified base of customers through our two segments: Utilities and Energy. The structure of our reportable segments is generally focused on broad end-user markets for our services.
The Utilities segment operates throughout the United States and specializes in a range of services, including the installation and maintenance of new and existing natural gas and electric utility distribution and transmission systems and communications systems.
The Energy segment operates throughout the United States and Canada and specializes in a range of services that include engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance services for entities in the energy, renewable energy and energy storage, renewable fuels, and petroleum and petrochemical industries, as well as state departments of transportation.
We have longstanding customer relationships with solar facility developers, power producers, gas and electric utilities, refining, petrochemical, communications, midstream, downstream, and engineering companies, as well as transportation agencies across our core markets. We have completed major underground and industrial projects for a number of large natural gas transmission and petrochemical companies in the United States and major electrical and gas projects for a number of large utility companies in the United States. We enter into a large number of contracts each year, and the projects can vary in length from daily work orders to as long as 36 months, and occasionally longer, for completion on larger projects. Although we have not been dependent upon any one customer in any year, a small number of customers tend to constitute a substantial portion of our total revenue in any given year.
We generate revenue under a range of contracting types, including fixed-price, unit-price, time and material, and cost reimbursable plus fee contracts, each of which has a different risk profile. A portion of our revenue is derived from contracts where scope is adequately defined, and therefore we can reasonably estimate total contract value. For these contracts, revenue is recognized over time as work is completed because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer (typically using an input measure such as costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress). For certain contracts, where scope is not adequately defined and we can’t reasonably estimate total contract value, revenue is recognized either on an input basis, based on contract costs incurred as defined within the respective contracts, or an output basis based on units completed. Costs to obtain contracts are generally not significant and are expensed in the period incurred.
The classification of revenue, gross profit, and operating income for segment reporting purposes can at times require judgment on the part of management. Our segments may perform services across industries or perform joint services for customers in multiple industries. To determine reportable segment gross profit and operating income, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, such as facility costs, equipment costs, selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and indirect operating expenses were made.
Material trends and uncertainties
We generate our revenue from construction and engineering projects, as well as from providing a variety of infrastructure services. We depend in part on spending by companies in the communications, gas and electric utilities, energy, chemical, and pipeline industries, as well as state departments of transportation. Over the past several years, each segment has benefited from demand for more efficient and more environmentally friendly energy and power facilities, more reliable gas and electric utility infrastructure, and upgraded and expanded local highway and bridge needs. However, periodically, each of these industries and government agencies is adversely affected by macroeconomic conditions and other challenging market conditions, such as those that have caused declines in the pipeline industry. Economic and other factors outside of our control may affect the amount and size of contracts we are awarded in any particular period.

We actively monitor the impact of the macroeconomic environment, including the impact of inflation, tariffs, and volatility in the commodities markets, on all aspects of our business. We have experienced increased operating costs and anticipate that elevated levels of cost inflation could persist for the remainder of 2026. Recent geopolitical conflict involving Iran has contributed to increased volatility and upward pressure in global energy markets, which has resulted in higher fuel costs and may continue to impact operating expenses and margins depending on the duration and severity of the disruption. In an effort to mitigate the impacts of inflation on our operations, we attempt to recover increases in the cost of labor, equipment, fuel and materials through price escalation provisions that allow us to adjust billing rates for certain major contracts annually; by considering the estimated effect of such increases when bidding or pricing new work; or by entering into back-to-back contracts with suppliers and subcontractors. However, the annual adjustment provided by certain contracts is typically subject to a cap and there can be an extended period of time between the impact of inflation on our costs and when billing rates are adjusted. In some cases, our actual cost increases have exceeded the contractual caps, and therefore negatively impacted the profitability of our operations until the contracts have been renegotiated to reflect these higher costs.
Fluctuations in the market prices of oil, gas and other fuel sources have affected demand for our services. Volatility in the prices of oil, gas, and liquid natural gas that has occurred in recent years has created uncertainty with respect to demand for our pipeline services, both in the near term and for future projects. While the construction of gathering lines within the oil shale formations may remain at lower levels for a period, we believe that over time, the need for pipeline infrastructure for midstream and gas utility companies will result in a continuing need for our services.
The continuing changes in the regulatory environment have affected the demand for our services, either by increasing our work, delaying projects, or cancelling projects. For example, environmental laws and regulations have provided challenges to pipeline projects, resulting in delays or cancellations that impact the timing of revenue recognition. However, the regulatory environment in certain states has resulted in an increase in the construction of gas-fired power plants. In addition, increased demand for electric power is also expanding opportunities for our Energy segment, such as the need for battery storage and the construction of utility scale solar facilities, and natural gas generation facilities.
We are exposed to certain market risks related to changes in interest rates. To monitor and manage these market risks, we have established risk management policies and procedures. Our Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan, and Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility bear interest at a variable rate which exposes us to interest rate risk. From time to time, we may use certain derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates. As of March 31, 2026, none of our variable rate debt outstanding was economically hedged. Based on our variable rate debt outstanding as of March 31, 2026, a 1.0% increase or decrease in interest rates would change annual interest expense by approximately $4.3 million.
Acquisitions
We continuously evaluate the marketplace for acquisition opportunities to further our strategic growth plans. Due to our reputation, size, financial resources, geographic presence and range of services, we have numerous opportunities to acquire companies or selected portions of such companies. We evaluate an acquisition opportunity based on its ability to strengthen our leadership in the markets we serve, the services they provide and the additional new geographies and clients they bring. Acquisitions are inherently risky, and no assurance can be given that our previous or future acquisitions will be successful or will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On May 1, 2026, we closed on our acquisition of PayneCrest Electric, Inc. (“PayneCrest”) in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $399.5 million, net of cash acquired. PayneCrest is a leading electrical construction and services provider supporting industrial, manufacturing, and advanced facilities. The acquisition increases our exposure to the high-growth data center services market and expands opportunities for integrating our industrial and renewables businesses with complementary electrical construction capabilities. The total purchase price was funded through a combination of borrowings under our term loan facility (as amended) and cash on hand. We will incorporate PayneCrest operations into our Energy segment. For more information, see Note 14 – “Subsequent Events” in Item 1, Financial Statements of this First Quarter 2026 Report.
Seasonality, cyclicality and variability
Our results of operations are subject to quarterly variations. Some of the variation is the result of weather, particularly rain, ice, snow, and named storms, which can impact our ability to perform infrastructure services. These seasonal impacts can affect revenue and profitability in all of our businesses. Any quarter can be affected either negatively,
26
Table of Contents
or positively by atypical weather patterns in any part of the country. In addition, demand for new projects in our Utilities segment tends to be lower during the early part of the calendar year due to clients’ internal budget cycles. As a result, we usually experience higher revenue and earnings in the second, third and fourth quarters of the year as compared to the first quarter.
Our project values range in size from several hundred dollars to several hundred million dollars. The bulk of our work is comprised of project sizes that average less than $3.0 million. We also perform construction projects which tend not to be seasonal, but can fluctuate from year to year based on customer timing, project duration, weather, and general economic conditions. Our business may be affected by declines, or delays in new projects, or by client project schedules. Because of the cyclical nature of our business, the financial results for any period may fluctuate from prior periods, and our financial condition and operating results may vary from quarter to quarter. Results from one quarter may not be indicative of our financial condition, or operating results for any other quarter, or for an entire year.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and that affect the amounts of revenue and expenses reported for each period. These estimates and assumptions must be made because certain information that is used in the preparation of our financial statements cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available, is dependent on future events, or is not capable of being readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. Often, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine, and we must exercise significant judgment. Estimates may be used in our accounting for revenue recognized over time, the allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property and equipment, fair value assumptions in analyzing goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, self-insured claims liabilities and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ significantly from our estimates, and our estimates could change if they were made under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2025.
Results of Operations
Consolidated Results
The following discussion compares the results of the three months ended March 31, 2026, to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Revenue
Revenue was $1.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $0.1 billion, or 5.4%, compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower revenue in our Energy segment partially offset by growth in the Utilities segment.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $134.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $36.0 million, or 21.1%, compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in revenue and margin in the Energy segment, partially offset by an increase in revenue and margin in the Utilities segment. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 8.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 10.4% for the same period in 2025 primarily driven by lower margins in our Energy segment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
SG&A expenses were $105.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $6.3 million, or 6.3%, compared to 2025. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 6.8% compared to 6.0% for the corresponding period in 2025 primarily due to lower revenue.

Table of Contents
Transaction and related costs
Transaction and related costs were $4.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was due to professional fees paid to advisors associated with the PayneCrest acquisition.
Other income and expense
Non-operating income and expense items for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 were as follows (in millions):

Total other expense | | $ | (4.5) | | $ | (8.1) |
Interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased $3.2 million compared to the same period in 2025 due to lower average debt balances.
Provision for income taxes
We are subject to tax liabilities imposed by multiple jurisdictions. We determine our best estimate of the annual effective tax rate at each interim period using expected annual pre-tax earnings, statutory tax rates and available tax planning opportunities. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur, which can cause variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense.
The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, of 12.6%, differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0%, primarily due to a discrete tax benefit for equity compensation paid in the quarter, partially offset by state income tax expense and nondeductible components of per diem expenses. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, of 29.0% differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income tax expense and nondeductible components of per diem expenses.
We recorded income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, of $2.5 million compared to $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The $15.6 million decrease is primarily driven by a $42.4 million decrease in pretax income and a decrease in the effective tax rate.

Utilities Segment
Revenue increased by $69.5 million, or 12.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to increased activity in our power delivery and gas operations markets.
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased $12.4 million, or 68.5% compared to the same period in 2025 due to revenue growth. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased to 9.8% compared to 9.2% in the same period in 2025.
Energy Segment
Revenue decreased by $152.9 million, or 13.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily attributable to decreased renewable energy activity, due to slower than anticipated starts of new projects, release of new work, and slower than expected financial close associated with certain projects.
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased by $49.1 million, or 62.2%, compared to the same period in 2025, due to decreased revenue and lower gross margins. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 7.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 10.7% in the same period in 2025 primarily due to increased costs in 2026 on certain renewable energy projects. These higher costs were driven in part by project redesign efforts, changes in project sequencing, labor productivity challenges, and unfavorable weather conditions. In addition, we had lower than anticipated volumes in 2026, which led to higher relative carrying costs for equipment and personnel.

Geographic area financial information
The majority of our revenue is derived from customers in the United States with approximately 2.8% generated from sources outside of the United States during the three months ended March 31, 2026, principally in Canada.
Backlog
For infrastructure services contractors, backlog can be an indicator of future revenue streams. Different companies define and calculate backlog in different manners. We define backlog as anticipated revenue from the uncompleted portions of existing contracts where scope is adequately defined, and therefore we can reasonably estimate total contract value (“Fixed Backlog”), and the estimated revenue on MSA work (“MSA Backlog”). We present two measures of backlog; one that includes Fixed Backlog and MSA Backlog for the next twelve months, and total backlog that includes all Fixed Backlog and MSA Backlog to the end of the MSA agreement. In addition, many of our MSAs are subject to renewal, and these potential renewals can be considered in estimating MSA Backlog. We do not include certain contracts in the calculation of fixed backlog where scope, and therefore contract value, is not adequately defined. We estimate MSA Backlog based on historical trends, anticipated seasonal impacts and estimates of customer demand based on information from our customers.
Fixed and MSA Backlog by reporting segment for the periods ending March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, were as follows (in millions):

Backlog should not be considered a comprehensive indicator of future revenue, as a percentage of our revenue is derived from projects that are not part of a backlog calculation. The backlog estimates include amounts from estimated MSAs, but our customers are not contractually obligated to purchase an amount of services from us under the MSAs. Any of our contracts may be terminated by our customers on relatively short notice. In the event of a project cancellation, we are typically reimbursed for all of our costs through a specific date, as well as all reasonable costs associated with demobilizing from the jobsite, but typically we have no contractual right to the total revenue reflected in backlog. Projects may remain in backlog for extended periods of time as a result of customer delays, regulatory requirements or project specific issues. Future revenue from projects where scope, and therefore contract value, is not adequately defined may not be included in our estimated backlog amount.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity represents our ability to pay our liabilities when they become due, fund business operations, and meet our contractual obligations and execute our business plan. Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash balances at the beginning of each period and our cash flows from operating activities. If needed, we have availability under our lines of credit to augment liquidity needs, and we have a current shelf registration statement filed with the SEC that allows for the issuance of an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities. Our short-term and long-term cash requirements consist primarily of working capital, investments to support revenue growth and maintain our equipment and facilities, general corporate needs, and to service our debt obligations. As of March 31, 2026, there were no outstanding borrowings under the
30
Table of Contents
Revolving Credit Facility, commercial letters of credit outstanding were $9.8 million, and available borrowing capacity was $315.2 million. In addition, there were no outstanding borrowings under our Canadian credit facilities as of September 30, 2025, commercial letters of credit outstanding were $0.3 million in Canadian dollars and available borrowing capacity was $13.7 million in Canadian dollars.
On May 1, 2026, we entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with CIBC Bank USA, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and co-lead arranger, and the financial parties thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), amending and restating the Credit Agreement to increase the Term Loan by $411.8 million to an aggregate principal amount of $779.6 million (the “New Term Loan”) and to extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from August 1, 2027 to May 1, 2031.
In addition to the New Term Loan, the Amended Credit Agreement increased the existing Revolving Credit Facility to $750.0 million, whereby the Lenders agreed to make loans on a revolving basis from time to time and to issue up to $400.0 million of letters of credit. At May 1, 2026, there was $50.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, commercial letters of credit outstanding were $9.8 million, and available borrowing capacity was $690.2 million. The proceeds from the New Term Loan were used to finance the acquisition of PayneCrest.
We have an Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility (the “AR Facility”) to reduce interest costs and improve cash flows from trade accounts receivable. Under the AR Facility we may sell or pledge trade accounts receivable as they are originated to a wholly owned bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. The maximum commitment amount under the AR Facility is $250.0 million. The total outstanding balance of trade accounts receivable that have been sold and derecognized is $125.0 million as of March 31, 2026. In addition, the total amount of trade accounts receivable that have been pledged is $62.5 million as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we had $62.5 million of available capacity under the AR Facility.
In order to maintain sufficient liquidity, we evaluate our working capital requirements on a regular basis. We may elect to raise additional capital by issuing common stock, convertible notes, term debt or increasing the borrowing capacity under our credit facilities as necessary to fund our operations or to fund the acquisition of new businesses.
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $361.5 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $535.5 million as of December 31, 2025. We anticipate that our cash and investments on hand, existing borrowing capacity under our credit facilities, access to and capacity under a shelf registration statement, and our future cash flows from operations will provide sufficient funds to enable us to meet our operating needs, our planned capital expenditures, and settle our commitments and contingencies for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.
The construction industry is capital intensive, and we expect to continue to make capital expenditures to meet anticipated needs for our services. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we spent approximately $27.8 million for capital expenditures, which included $16.0 million for construction equipment and $6.5 million on our facilities. Capital expenditures for the remaining nine months of 2026 are expected to total between $90.0 million and $110.0 million, which includes $70.0 million to $90.0 million for equipment.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $122.6 million compared to $66.2 million cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change year-over-year was primarily due to the unfavorable impact from the changes in assets and liabilities and a decrease in net income.
The significant components of the $167.1 million change in assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are summarized as follows:
| ● | Accounts payable decreased by $98.0 million primarily due to the timing of our payments to vendors; |
| ● | Contract liabilities decreased $61.7 million, primarily due to lower deferred revenue; |
| ● | Accounts receivable increased by $31.4 million, primarily due to the timing of collecting from our customers; and |
| ● | Contract assets decreased by $19.4 million, primarily due to the timing of billing our customers. |
The significant components of the $0.9 million change in assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are summarized as follows:
| ● | Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $179.4 million primarily due to the timing of our payments to vendors; |
| ● | Accounts receivable decreased by $79.3 million, primarily due to the timing of collecting from our customers; |
| ● | Contract assets increased by $165.2 million, primarily due to the timing of billing our customers; |
| ● | Contract liabilities decreased $62.2 million, primarily due to lower deferred revenue; and |
| ● | Other current assets increased by $31.2 million, primarily due to the prepayment of insurance premiums. |
Investing activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used in investing activities was $12.7 million compared to $33.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we purchased property and equipment for $27.8 million compared to $40.6 million during the same period in the prior year. We believe the ownership or long-term leasing of equipment is generally preferable to renting equipment on a project-by-project basis, as this strategy helps to ensure the equipment is available for our projects when needed. In addition, this approach has historically resulted in lower overall equipment costs.
We periodically sell assets, typically to update our fleet. We received proceeds from the sale of assets of $7.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $7.4 million during the same period in the prior year.

Off-balance sheet transactions
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. We have no off-balance sheet financing arrangement with Variable Interest Entities. The following represents transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered material off-balance sheet arrangements.
| ● | As of March 31, 2026, we had letters of credit outstanding of $9.5 million under the terms of our credit agreements. These letters of credit are used by our insurance carriers to ensure reimbursement for amounts that they are disbursing on our behalf, such as beneficiaries under our self-funded insurance program. In addition, from time to time, certain customers require us to post a letter of credit to ensure payments to our subcontractors or guarantee performance under our contracts. Letters of credit reduce our borrowing availability under our Credit Agreement and our Canadian credit facilities. If these letters of credit were drawn on by the beneficiary, we would be required to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit, and we may be required to record a charge to earnings for the reimbursement. As of the date of this First Quarter 2026 Report, we do not believe that it is likely that any material claims will be made under a letter of credit; |
| ● | In the ordinary course of our business, we may be required by our customers to post surety bid or payment/performance bonds in connection with services that we provide. As of March 31, 2026, we had bid and payment/performance bonds issued and outstanding totaling approximately $9.1 billion. The remaining performance obligation on those bonded projects totaled approximately $2.3 billion as of March 31, 2026. As of the date of this First Quarter 2026 Report, we do not anticipate that we would have to fund any material claim under our surety arrangements; |
| ● | Certain of our subsidiaries are parties to collective bargaining agreements with unions. In most instances, these agreements require that we contribute to multi-employer pension and health and welfare plans. For many plans, the contributions are determined annually and required future contributions cannot be determined since contribution rates depend on the total number of union employees and actuarial calculations based on the demographics of all participants.

| Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended by the Multi-Employer Pension Amendments Act of 1980, subjects employers to potential liabilities in the event of an employer’s complete or partial withdrawal of an underfunded multi-employer pension plan. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 added new funding rules that are classified as “endangered”, “seriously endangered”, or “critical” status. Withdrawal liabilities or requirements for increased future contributions could negatively impact our results of operations and liquidity; |
| ● | We enter into employment agreements with certain employees which provide for compensation and benefits under certain circumstances and which may contain a change of control clause. We may be obligated to make payments under the terms of these agreements; and |
| ● | From time to time, we make other guarantees, such as guaranteeing the obligations of our subsidiaries. |
Effects of Inflation, Tariffs and Changing Prices
Our operations are affected by increases in prices, whether caused by inflation, tariffs or other economic factors. We attempt to recover anticipated increases in the cost of labor, equipment, fuel and materials through price escalation provisions that allow us to adjust billing rates for certain major contracts annually; by considering the estimated effect of such increases when bidding or pricing new work; or by entering into back-to-back contracts with suppliers and subcontractors. However, the annual adjustment provided by certain contracts is typically subject to a cap and there can be an extended period of time between the impact of inflation on our costs and when billing rates are adjusted. In some cases, our actual cost increases have exceeded the contractual caps, and therefore negatively impacted our operations. As a result, we consider the potential impacts of inflation when negotiating contracts with our customers.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the ordinary course of business, we are exposed to risks related to market conditions. These risks primarily include fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We may seek to manage these risks through the use of financial derivative instruments. These instruments have in the past included interest rate swaps and may in the future include foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps and hedges against commodity price fluctuations.
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments, short-term debt, accounts payable and accrued liabilities shown in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value as of March 31, 2026, due to the generally short maturities of these items.
Our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan bear interest at a variable rate which exposes us to interest rate risk. From time to time, we may use certain derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates. As of March 31, 2026, none of our variable rate debt outstanding was economically hedged. Based on our variable rate debt outstanding as of March 31, 2026, a 1.0% increase or decrease in interest rates would change annual interest expense by approximately $4.3 million.
We do not execute transactions or use financial derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We generally enter into transactions with counter-parties that are financial institutions as a means to limit significant exposure with any one party.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2026, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).
Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods

specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their stated objectives.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting practices or processes that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Amendment to Credit Agreement
The information set forth below in this item 5 is reported in lieu of information that would be reported under items “1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement” and "2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant." of Form 8-K.
On May 1, 2026, we entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) with CIBC Bank USA, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and co-lead arranger, and the financial parties thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), amending and restating the existing credit agreement to (i) provide a new term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $779.6 million (the “New Term Loan”) to refinance the outstanding term loan, (ii) provide a new revolving loan commitment in the aggregate amount of $750.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) whereby the Lenders agree to make loans on a revolving basis from time to time and to issue up to $400.0 million of letters of credit, and (iii) to extend the maturity date of the existing credit agreement from August 1, 2027 to May 1, 2031.
Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we must make quarterly principal payments on the New Term Loan in an amount equal to approximately $9.7 million. The first principal payment will be due on September 30, 2026.
The principal amount of all loans under the Amended Credit Agreement will bear interest at either: (i) SOFR plus an applicable margin as specified in the Amended Credit Agreement (based on our net senior debt to EBITDA ratio as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), or (ii) the Base Rate (which is the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or (b) the prime rate as announced by the Administrative Agent) plus an applicable margin as specified in the Amended Credit Agreement. Quarterly non-use fees, letter of credit fees and administrative agent fees are payable at rates specified in the Amended Credit Agreement.
The principal amount of any loan drawn under the Amended Credit Agreement may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty.
The Amended Credit Agreement includes various restrictive covenants for facilities of this type.
