A  MESSAGE TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Fellow Shareholders,
While 2020 was the most challenging period in many years, it 
gave our infrastructure-related portfolio and our highly dedicated 
team  an  opportunity  to  shine. At  the  onset  of  the  pandemic, 
we  acted  quickly  to  protect  our  employees  and  communities, 
while  continuing  to  deliver  critical  infrastructure  products  and 
services to our customers. We posted double-digit revenue and 
Adjusted EBITDA growth while generating almost $180 million 
of free cash flow, which are testaments to the strength of the 
businesses and culture we are building at Arcosa. 

In    2020,  we  also  successfully  progressed  on  our  strategy 
of  reducing  cyclicality  by  increasing  our  exposure  to  more 
stable  infrastructure  products.  Through  organic  investment 
and  acquisitions,  we  added    additional  geographies    and  
well-positioned  products,  including  recycled  aggregates  in 
Construction  Products  and  traffic  and  telecom  products  in 
Engineered  Structures.  We  believe  that  these  products  will

will  continue

2020  Results  Demonstrate  the  Success  of  our  Strategic 
Repositioning
In spite of the challenges and the COVID pandemic, we posted 
impressive  results  in  2020.  Our  revenue  grew  11%,  while 
Adjusted  EBITDA  grew  18%.      Construction  Products  was  the 
key  growth  driver,  with  revenue  up  35%  and Adjusted  EBITDA 
up 50%,  through a combination of well-performing acquisitions 
and margin improvement in our legacy aggregates businesses. 
Engineered  Structures  was  also  a  top-line    contributor  with 
revenue up 5%.  Transportation Products revenue was flat year to 
year, but Adjusted EBITDA increased 22% as our barge business 
performed extremely well.

culture. 

Continuing to Foster a 
Strong “Cash Culture” 
A  major 
accomplishment 
of  2020  was  advancing  our 
cash-focused 
By 
closely  managing  our  working 
capital  and  making  disciplined 
capital  expenditure  decisions, 
we  achieved  free  cash  flow 
conversion  of  greater 
than 
100% for the second year in a row. Our free cash flow was used 
to fund organic and acquisition investments, while maintaining a 
healthy  balance  sheet.  We  expect  to  continue  working  hard  to 
maintain  solid  cash  conversion  and  to  allocate  capital  to  areas 
that yield the best return for our shareholders.  We have a robust 
pipeline  of  attractive  investment  opportunities  and  our  cash-
focused culture, along with low leverage, position us well for future 
growth.

Integrating Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) into 
our Long-term Strategy

Last year we highlighted the importance of ESG in the new culture 
we are building at Arcosa. We continue to view sustainability as 
one of the four key pillars of our long-term strategy.  Through the 
ESG lens, we consider both risks and opportunities from changes 
that potentially impact Arcosa.  

One  example  from  this  year  is  our  entrance  into  recycled 
aggregates,  a  new  product  category  for  Arcosa,  through  two 
acquisitions.  Recycled aggregates offer environmental benefits, 
helping to preserve a scarce natural resource as well as reduce 
greenhouse  gas  emissions.    We  believe  having  the  ability  to 
offer our customers a complementary set of natural and recycled 
aggregates is a strategic advantage as environmentally friendly 
construction  takes  on  greater  prominence.    Applying  an  ESG 
filter  to  our  strategic  approach  helped  identify  these  attractive 
acquisitions. 

Like  no  other  year,  2020  has  highlighted  the  importance  of 
focusing  on  our  most  valuable  asset  -  our  employees.    Their 
health  and  safety  are  a  key  focus  area  of  our  ESG  program.  
Following the outbreak of COVID, we reviewed all our plant and 
office procedures, and I am very proud to say that we always kept 
safety at the forefront of every decision we made. 

We  continue  to  make

our spin-off, we have been successful increasing our exposure to 

some of these markets, and we expect that will continue to be the 

focus  of  our  capital  allocation  process  going  forward.  We  believe 

we are now less susceptible to economic cycles than we were just 

two  years  ago.  Looking  back,  we  are  a  very  different  company, 

significantly larger, with faster growth prospects, and less cyclical 

exposure. 

culture consultant.  Our goal is to achieve positive measurable 

change in our safety culture by empowering employees to take 

active  ownership.    Our  future  success  is  predicated  upon  the 

talent of our organization, and I want to thank the entire Arcosa 

team  for  their  unwavering  dedication  and  resilience  this  year. 

I am proud to say that our ESG efforts have become an even 

more important tool in keeping Arcosa united and focused on our 

values and long-term strategy. 

Looking  ahead,  we  are  making  considerable  progress.  

Following  the  completion  of  our  ESG  materiality  assessment 

in  2019,  we  published  a  detailed  ESG  update  and  our  initial 

Sustainability  Report  in  August  2020.  We  plan  to  publish  our 

full year Sustainability Report in the first half of 2021, which will 

integrate  the  Financial  Stability  Board Task  Force  on  Climate-

related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework with supporting 

metrics  from  the  Sustainability  Accounting  Standards  Board 

(SASB).  We will continue to actively report on our initiatives.

Summary & Outlook

When  we  spun-off  as  an  independent  public  company  in 

2018,  we  pointed  to  Construction  Products  and  Engineered 

Structures  as  the  businesses  where  we  would  allocate  capital 

for growth. We have used internally generated cash flow from 

all our businesses to advance this strategy and accelerate our 

repositioning in a deliberate and disciplined manner.  In 2021, 

we expect to continue on this path with support from our strong 

balance  sheet.  Accordingly,  we  anticipate  2021  to  be  a  year 

where our repositioning becomes increasingly more apparent.

Our long-term plan has been to grow in attractive markets, where we 

have competitive advantages, reduce the complexity and cyclicality 

of our business, improve our long-term returns, and integrate ESG 

into our business. We have advanced over the past, year and I look 

forward to providing further updates on our progress in the future.

Thank  you  for  your  interest  in  Arcosa  and  for  your  trust  and 

confidence. 

Very truly yours,

At  Arcosa,  we  move  infrastructure  forward.    We  are  focused

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
($’s in millions)
(unaudited)

Consolidated and Combined Adjusted EBITDA 

“EBITDA” is defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization. We adjust EBITDA for certain items that are not reflective of 
the normal earnings of our business (“Adjusted EBITDA”). GAAP does not define EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA and they should not be considered as alternatives 
to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including net income. We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess the operating performance of our consolidated business, as 
a metric for incentive-based compensation, as a measure within our lending arrangements, and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting as we believe 
that it closely correlates to long-term shareholder value. As a widely used metric by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry, we believe Adjusted 
EBITDA also assists investors in comparing a company’s performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation, depletion, amortization, and other 
items which can vary significantly depending on many factors. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenues.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow
GAAP does not define “Free Cash Flow” and it should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow measures defined by GAAP, including cash flow from 
operating activities. We use this metric to assess the liquidity of our consolidated business. We present this metric for the convenience of investors who use such 
metrics in their analysis and for shareholders who need to understand the metrics we use to assess performance and monitor our cash and liquidity positions. 
We define Free Cash Flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Segment EBITDA

“Segment EBITDA” is defined as segment operating profit plus depreciation, depletion, and amortization. We adjust Segment EBITDA for certain items that are 
not reflective of the normal earnings of our business (“Adjusted Segment EBITDA”). GAAP does not define Segment EBITDA or Adjusted Segment EBITDA and 
they should not be considered as alternatives to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including segment operating profit. We use Adjusted Segment EBITDA 
to assess the operating performance of our businesses, as a metric for incentive-based compensation, and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting as 
we believe that it closely correlates to long-term shareholder value. As a widely used metric by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry we believe 
Adjusted  Segment  EBITDA  also  assists  investors  in  comparing  a  company’s  performance  on  a  consistent  basis  without  regard  to  depreciation,  depletion, 
amortization, and other items, which can vary significantly depending on many factors. “Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin” is defined as Adjusted Segment 
EBITDA divided by Revenues.

(1) Includes the impact of the fair value markup of acquired long-lived assets. 
(2) Expenses associated with acquisitions, including the cost impact of the fair value markup of acquired inventory and other transaction costs.
(3) Included in Other, net (income) expense was the impact of foreign currency exchange transactions of $3.6 million and $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,

Item 1. Business.

PART I

General  Description  of  Business.  Arcosa,  Inc.  and  its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  (“Arcosa,”  “Company,”  “we,”  or  “our”) 
headquartered  in  Dallas,  Texas,  is  a  provider  of  infrastructure-related  products  and  solutions  with  leading  brands  serving 
construction,  engineered  structures,  and  transportation  markets  in  North  America.  Our  individual  businesses  have  built 
reputations  for  quality,  service,  and  operational  excellence  over  decades.  Arcosa  serves  a  broad  spectrum  of  infrastructure-
related  markets  and  is  strategically  focused  on  driving  organic  and  disciplined  acquisition  growth  to  capitalize  on  the 
fragmented nature of many of the industries in which we operate. With Arcosa’s current platform of businesses and additional 
growth opportunities, we are well- aligned with key market trends, such as the replacement and growth of aging transportation 
infrastructure,  the  continued  shift  to  renewable  power  generation,  and  the  expansion  of  new  transmission,  distribution,  and 
telecommunications  infrastructure.  Our  businesses  support  critical  infrastructure  sectors,  pursuant  to  the  Department  of 
Homeland  Security’s  Cybersecurity  and  Infrastructure  Security  Agency  standards.  Despite  the  uncertainty  surrounding  the 
COVID-19 crisis, our plants have continued to operate throughout the crisis, and we have seen better than anticipated demand 
in some sectors.

We are united in our shared purpose to fulfill the four pillars of our long-term vision, which include:

•
•
•
•

growing in attractive markets where we can achieve sustainable competitive advantages;
reducing the complexity and cyclicality of the overall business;
improving long-term returns on invested capital; and
integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance initiatives (“ESG”) into our long-term strategy.

Arcosa  is  a  Delaware  corporation  and  was  incorporated  in  2018  in  connection  with  the  separation  (the  “Separation”)  of 
Arcosa from Trinity Industries, Inc. (“Trinity” or “Former Parent”) on November 1, 2018 as an independent, publicly-traded 
company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange. 

Our principal executive offices are located at 500 N. Akard Street, Suite 400, Dallas, Texas 75201. Our telephone number is 
972-942-6500, and our Internet website address is www.arcosa.com. We make available on our website our annual report on 
Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments thereto, as soon as reasonably 
practicable after such material is filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Information on 
our Investor Relations page and on our website is not part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K or any of our other securities 
filings unless specifically incorporated herein by reference.

Our  Segments.  The  Company  reports  operating  results  in  three  principal  business  segments.  For  additional  information 
regarding  revenues,  operating  profit,  and  identifiable  assets  by  segment,  please  refer  to  Note  4  to  the  Consolidated  and 
Combined Financial Statements.

Construction Products.

Markets

Our Construction Products segment provides products that are used in various segments of construction activity, including 

infrastructure, residential, non-residential, and specialty/other end markets.    

Infrastructure  Construction:  Over  a  multi-year  horizon,  we  believe  that  approximately  half  of  our  current  portfolio  of 
construction  materials  are  used  in  infrastructure  projects,  which  include  construction  spending  by  federal,  state,  and  local 
governments for roads, highways, bridges, airports, and other public infrastructure projects, as well as private spending on road 
and utility construction.

The  other  half  of  our  construction  materials  demand  is  split  across  residential,  non-residential,  and  specialty/other  end 

markets. 

Residential Construction: Residential construction includes single family homes and multi-family units such as apartments 
and  condominiums.  Demand  for  residential  construction  is  influenced  primarily  by  population  growth,  new  household 
formation, and mortgage interest rates.

Non-Residential  Construction:  Non-residential  construction  includes  a  wide  variety  of  privately-financed  construction 
including manufacturing and distribution facilities, industrial complexes, office buildings, and large retailers and wholesalers. 
Demand  for  non-residential  construction  is  driven  primarily  by  population  and  economic  growth,  in  addition  to  segment-
specific factors such as the growth of e-commerce, changes in retail patterns, changes in office occupancy trends, and numerous 
other factors.

Specialty / Other: Our products are used in various other end markets including energy-related activity such as drilling pads, 

roads and major downstream projects, agriculture/horticulture, and industrial uses.

In 2020, we had shipments of 22 million tons of aggregates and specialty materials. Texas is our largest geographic market, 
representing  approximately  60%  of  the  segment's  revenues  in  2020.  We  primarily  serve  the  Texas  Triangle  formed  by  the 
Dallas-Fort Worth metro at its northern point in North Texas; the Houston metro at its southeastern edge on the Gulf Coast; and 
Austin-San Antonio at its western tip in Central Texas. The outlook for construction spending in Texas is favorable, supported 
by increased spending on highways near-term, with current fiscal year planned Texas Department of Transportation lettings up 
35%  to  approximately  $9.5  billion,  and  a  robust  long-term  outlook  supported  by  the  state’s  10-year  Unified  Transportation 
Program  identifying  approximately  $75  billion  of  infrastructure  projects.  Population  and  household  formation  growth  have 
contributed to a strong residential housing market, with housing permits, an indication of future construction activity, up 35% in 
Texas  in  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2020  compared  to  last  year.  Non-residential  construction  activity,  while  currently 
negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, generally follows a strong residential construction cycle on a lagged basis.

Products, Customers, and Competitors

Through wholly-owned subsidiaries, our Construction Products segment produces and sells natural and recycled aggregates, 
specialty  materials,  and  construction  site  support  equipment,  including  trench  shields  and  shoring  products.  See  Item  7. 
“Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations”  for  revenues  attributable  to 
aggregates and specialty materials.

We  are  an  established  producer  and  distributor  of  natural  aggregates  serving  both  public  infrastructure  and  private 
construction markets with active open pit quarries in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida, Nevada, Washington, and British 
Columbia.  Our  natural  aggregates  products  include  sand,  gravel,  limestone,  gypsum,  stabilized  material,  and  various  other 
products  used  in  the  production  of  ready  mixed  concrete,  cement,  and  other  precast  concrete  products,  roads,  municipal  and 
private water, sewer, and drainage projects, oil and gas well pads, wind farms, as well as various other building products. 

To expand and complement our natural aggregates platform, we completed several natural aggregate bolt-on acquisitions and 
two larger acquisitions that added natural aggregates and introduced recycled aggregates to our product portfolio. In January 
2020, we completed the acquisition of Cherry Industries, Inc. and affiliated entities (collectively “Cherry”), a leading producer 
of natural and recycled aggregates with multiple locations in the Houston, Texas market. Cherry’s natural aggregates quarries 
produce  stabilized  sand,  a  unique  mixture  of  cement,  water,  and  sand  primarily  used  as  backfill  material  in  topography  that 
requires additional reinforcement, like in the Gulf Coast region, and flex base that is used in road construction.  

4

Cherry is also a leading producer of recycled aggregates in the U.S. with multiple stationary crushing locations and portable 
on-site crushing capabilities across the Houston, Texas market. Recycled aggregates are a substitute to natural aggregates and 
currently  supply  a  very  small  but  growing  percent  of  aggregate  use  due  to  resource  scarcity  and  ESG  benefits.  Recycled 
aggregates are produced by crushing concrete reclaimed from demolished highways, buildings, and other structures, processing 
to  remove  steel,  rebar,  shingles  and  other  debris,  and  screened  to  appropriate  sizes  for  use  as  road  base,  erosion  control  for 
building  foundations,  and  as  backfill  for  utility  trenches.  Recycled  aggregates  are  growing  in  acceptance  due  to  reduced 
disposal of concrete in landfills, conservation of natural resources, reduced cost for raw materials, and energy savings from less 
processing and transportation costs.

In  October  2020,  we  further  expanded  our  recycled  aggregates  footprint  with  the  acquisition  of  Strata  Materials,  LLC 
(“Strata”),  a  leading  provider  of  natural  and  recycled  aggregates  in  the  Dallas-Fort  Worth,  Texas  market.    Strata  brings  five 
stationary crushing locations and adds one natural aggregates quarry to our Dallas-Fort Worth footprint. 

The Cherry and Strata acquisitions help advance our strategy of serving customers with a complementary product offering 

that includes both natural and recycled aggregates. 

Our  customers  include  concrete  producers;  commercial,  residential,  highway,  and  general  contractors;  manufacturers  of 
masonry  and  building  products;  and  state  and  local  governments.  Shipments  of  natural  and  recycled  aggregates  from  an 
individual quarry or stationary crushing location are generally limited in geographic scope because the cost of transportation to 
customers  is  high  relative  to  the  value  of  the  product  itself.  Where  practical,  we  have  operations  located  close  to  our  local 
markets and, in certain locations, offer portable crushing services at a job site for re-use onsite. Proximity of our active quarries, 
stationary crushing locations, and strategic reserves to demand centers serve as barriers to entry.

The U.S. aggregates industry is a highly fragmented industry with more than 5,200 producers nationwide. We compete, in 
most  cases,  with  natural  and  recycled  aggregates  producers  in  the  regions  where  we  operate.    Many  opportunities  for 
consolidation exist. Therefore, companies in the industry tend to grow by acquiring existing facilities to extend their existing 
market positions or enter new markets.

Our  specialty  materials,  including  lightweight  aggregates  and  milled  or  processed  specialty  building  products  and 
agricultural products, are produced and distributed nationwide. We currently operate in ten states across the U.S., with several 
of our production facilities operating at the quarries that produce the raw material inputs. Our specialty materials products enjoy 
higher barriers to entry than our natural aggregates due to specific mineral properties, specialized manufacturing, or additional 
processing. Lightweight aggregates are select shales or clays that are expanded and hardened by high temperatures in a rotary 
kiln  and  possess  a  bulk  density  that  can  be  less  than  half  that  of  natural  aggregates.  Product  applications  include  structural 
lightweight concrete, lightweight masonry block, and road surface treatments. Our specialty building products and agricultural 
products are processed at several production facilities across the U.S., mostly using our natural aggregates as a component of 
raw material supply. Product applications include plasters, prills, agricultural supplements and fertilizers, paints, flooring, glass, 
ingredients for food and feed, and other products. Due to the added value in processing, specialty materials have a much wider, 
multi-state  distribution  area  due  to  their  higher  value  relative  to  their  distribution  costs  as  compared  to  natural  and  recycled 
aggregates. Therefore, we compete with specialty materials producers nationwide.

We  hold  a  strong  market  position  in  the  manufacture  of  trench  shields  and  shoring  products  for  the  U.S.  construction 
industry. Trench shields and shoring products are used for water and sewer construction, utility installations, manhole work, oil 
and gas pipeline construction, and other underground applications. Our customers are equipment rental dealers and commercial, 
residential,  and  industrial  contractors.  Additionally,  we  participate  in  certain  regional  rental  markets  for  trench  shoring 
equipment. We compete with shoring products manufacturers nationwide.

Raw Material and Suppliers

The  primary  raw  material  for  our  natural  aggregates  and  specialty  materials  comes  from  quarries.  Natural  aggregates  and 
specialty  minerals  can  be  found  throughout  the  U.S.  We  have  a  proven  and  successful  track  record  of  securing  long-term 
reserve  positions  for  both  current  and  future  mine  locations  through  our  employment  of  exploration  teams  and  the  use  of 
professional third parties. Our reserves are critical to our raw material supply and long-term success. We currently estimate that 
we  have  780  million  tons  of  proven  and  probable  natural  aggregates  and  specialty  materials  reserves  strategically  located  in 
favorable  markets  that  are  expected  to  require  large  amounts  of  aggregates  to  meet  future  construction  demand.  For  further 
discussion of our natural aggregates and specialty materials reserves, please refer to Item 2. “Properties.”

The  primary  raw  material  for  recycled  aggregates  is  demolished  concrete.  We  source  raw  material  both  internally  and 
externally primarily from demolition and road removal projects.  The demolished concrete feedstock is reported as inventory 
and passes through raw material, work in process, and finished goods inventory as we process it into recycled aggregates. We 
control a portion of our raw materials needs through demolition services that we provide and source the remainder from third 
parties.    Due  to  increasing  landfill  scarcity,  in  certain  markets,  landfills  restrict  the  acceptance  of  demolished  concrete, 
increasing the availability of raw product at our crushing locations. Our operating permits allowing recycling activities and the 
strategic location of our stationary crushing sites are competitive advantages.

Engineered Structures. 

We  have  renamed  this  segment  as  of  December  31,  2020  from  Energy  Equipment  to  better  reflect  the  products  delivered.  

There have been no changes to the businesses that have historically comprised this segment.

Markets

Our Engineered Structures segment serves a broad spectrum of infrastructure markets, including electricity transmission and 
distribution, wind power generation, highway road construction, wireless communication, and the storage and transportation of 
gas  and  liquid  products  for  use  in  residential,  commercial,  agricultural,  and  industrial  end  markets.  We  believe  we  are  well-
positioned to benefit from significant upgrades in the electrical grid to support enhanced reliability, policy changes encouraging 
more  generation  from  renewable  energy  sources,  the  expansion  of  new  transmission,  distribution,  telecommunication 
infrastructure, and the replacement and growth of the U.S. highway and road system.

Products, Customers, and Competitors

Through wholly-owned subsidiaries, our Engineered Structures segment manufactures and sells primarily steel structures for 
infrastructure businesses, including utility structures for electricity transmission and distribution, structural wind towers, traffic 
structures,  and  telecommunication  structures.  These  products  share  a  similar  manufacturing  competencies  and  steel  sourcing 
requirements,  and  can  be  manufactured  across  our  North  American  footprint.  This  segment  also  manufactures  storage  and 
distribution tanks. See Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for 
revenues attributable to our engineered structures products.

We are a well-established manufacturer in the U.S. and Mexico of engineered steel utility structures, including tapered steel 
and lattice structures, for electricity transmission and distribution. Through our recognized brands, we have developed strong 
relationships  with  our  primary  customers,  public  and  private  utilities.  We  compete  with  both  domestic  and  foreign 
manufacturers  on  the  basis  of  product  quality,  engineering  expertise,  customer  service,  and  on-time  delivery  of  the  product. 
Sales  to  our  customers,  particularly  certain  large  utility  customers,  are  often  made  through  alliance  contracts  that  can  extend 
several  years.  We  also  sell  into  the  competitive-bid  market,  whereby  the  lowest  bidder  is  awarded  the  contract,  provided  all 
other  qualifying  criteria  are  met.  To  a  lesser  extent,  we  also  manufacture  pre-stressed  concrete  poles  for  low  voltage  utility, 
lighting,  transportation,  and  telecommunications  markets.  We  acquired  static  cast  concrete  pole  manufacturing  competency 
through an acquisition in June 2020, and we believe there are opportunities to expand organically and through acquisition.

We  are  one  of  the  leading  manufacturers  of  structural  wind  towers  in  the  U.S.  and  Mexico  with  five  plants  strategically 
located in wind-rich regions of North America. Our primary customers are wind turbine producers and we compete with both 
domestic  and  foreign  producers  of  towers.  Revenues  from  General  Electric  Company  (“GE”)  included  in  our  Engineered 
Structures  segment  constituted  15.3%,  18.2%,  and  19.4%  of  consolidated  or  combined  revenues  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. 

Demand  for  new  wind  energy  projects  in  the  U.S.  has  been  supported  by  the  Renewable  Energy  Production  Tax  Credit 
(“PTC”) that was first introduced in 1992, providing a tax credit for electricity produced at each qualifying wind project. Since 
inception,  the  PTC  has  undergone  numerous  extensions  and  received  varying  levels  of  legislative  support,  contributing  to 
volatility in the demand for new wind energy installations. In 2015, the PTC was extended for a multi-year term, with a time-
based phase out of the amount of credit, dropping from 100% to 40% for new wind projects commencing construction before 
the end of 2016 through 2019. In 2019, the PTC was extended for an additional year, allowing for a 60% credit for projects 
commenced before the end of 2020. The Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, enacted in December 2020, 
provides an additional one-year extension of the 60% credit, and also establishes a new 30% investment tax credit for off-shore 
wind projects. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service generally allows four years from start of construction of a wind project to its 
in-service date to be eligible for the credit. As a result, under the most recent extension, the PTC supports new on-shore wind 
projects commencing as late as 2021 and completed by 2025. Generally, orders for wind towers supporting new projects are 
placed approximately six to nine months ahead of project completion. Together with the increased cost competitiveness of wind 
energy, state renewable fuel mandates, and increasing business acceptance of long-term decarbonization goals, we believe we 
are well-positioned to benefit from these wind energy incentives.

We also manufacture steel traffic structures for use on the U.S. highway and road system. We have two manufacturing plants 
serving the Florida market. Our products include overhead steel sign structures, tolling gantry structures, mast and sign arms, 
and other custom solutions. We believe we are well-positioned to benefit from healthy public infrastructure spending in Florida 
and adjacent states, and we have opportunities to grow organically into new geographies, as well. 

Our telecom structures business sells to wireless communication carriers and third-party tower lessors and developers. We 
have  one  manufacturing  plant  in  Oklahoma  and  also  have  the  capability  to  manufacture  telecom  structures  in  our  other 
Engineered  Structures  plants.  Our  products  include  self-supporting  lattice  towers,  monopole  towers,  and  guyed  towers.  We 
believe we are well-positioned to benefit from continued spending on the buildout of 5G and other wireless networks in North 
America.

Our  storage  tanks  support  oil,  gas,  and  chemical  markets  and  are  used  by  industrial  plants,  utilities,  residences,  and  small 
businesses  in  suburban  and  rural  areas.  We  are  one  of  the  primary  manufacturers  in  North  America  of  pressurized  and  non-
pressurized tanks that store and transport a wide variety of products, including propane, anhydrous ammonia, and natural gas 
liquids. We also manufacture fertilizer storage containers for agricultural markets, including bulk storage, farm storage, and the 
application and distribution of anhydrous ammonia.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

The principal material used in our Engineered Structures segment is steel. During 2020, the supply of steel was sufficient to 
support  our  manufacturing  requirements.  Market  steel  prices  continue  to  exhibit  periods  of  volatility  and  ended  2020 
significantly higher than 2019. Steel prices may be volatile in the future in part as a result of market conditions. We often use 
contract-specific  purchasing  practices,  existing  supplier  commitments,  contractual  price  escalation  provisions,  and  other 
arrangements  with  our  customers  to  mitigate  the  effect  of  steel  price  volatility  on  our  operating  profit  for  the  year.  Arcosa’s 
manufacturing  operations  also  use  component  parts,  such  as  flanges  for  wind  towers.  In  general,  we  believe  there  is  enough 
capacity in the supply industries to meet current production levels and that our existing contracts and other relationships with 
multiple suppliers will meet our current production forecasts.

Transportation Products.

Markets

Our  Transportation  Products  segment  consists  of  established  companies  that  supply  manufactured  steel  products  to  the 
transportation  industry.  These  transportation  products  serve  a  wide  variety  of  markets,  including  the  transportation  of 
commodities  such  as  grain,  coal,  aggregates,  chemicals,  fertilizers,  petrochemicals,  and  refined  products.  The  COVID-19 
pandemic  has  had  a  significant  negative  impact  on  demand  for  liquid  tank  barges,  as  the  movements  of  crude  oil,  refined 
products, and petrochemicals along the inland waterways have not returned to pre-pandemic levels. Replacement of the aging 
dry  barge  fleet  remains  a  demand  driver  for  hopper  barges;  however,  the  recent  steep  increase  in  steel  prices  has  weakened 
demand.  Our  businesses  providing  steel  components  to  the  North  American  rail  industry  currently  face  challenging  market 
conditions as the forecast for new railcar production is expected to decline in 2021.

Products, Customers, and Competitors

Through wholly-owned subsidiaries, our Transportation Products segment manufactures and sells inland barges, fiberglass 
barge  covers,  winches,  and  marine  hardware;  and  steel  components  for  railcars  and  other  transportation  and  industrial 
equipment.  See  Item  7.  “Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations”  for 
revenues attributable to inland barges and steel components products.

We  have  a  leading  position  in  the  U.S.  market  for  the  manufacture  of  inland  barges  and  fiberglass  barge  covers.  We 
manufacture a variety of hopper barges, tank barges, and fiberglass covers, and we provide a full line of deck hardware to the 
marine industry, including hatches, castings, and winches for towboats and dock facilities. Dry cargo barges transport various 
commodities,  such  as  grain,  coal,  and  aggregates.  Tank  barges  transport  liquids  including  refined  products,  chemicals,  and  a 
variety  of  petroleum  products.  Our  fiberglass  reinforced  lift  covers  are  used  primarily  for  grain  barges.  Our  barge 
manufacturing  facilities  are  located  along  the  U.S.  inland  river  systems,  allowing  for  rapid  delivery  to  our  customers.  Our 
customers  are  primarily  commercial  marine  transportation  companies,  lessors,  and  industrial  shippers.  We  compete  with  a 
number of other manufacturers in the U.S.

We  are  a  recognized  manufacturer  of  steel  components  for  railcars  and  other  transportation  equipment.  We  manufacture 
axles, circular forgings, and coupling devices for freight, tank, locomotive, and passenger rail transportation equipment, as well 
as  other  industrial  uses,  and  also  provide  cast  components  for  use  in  the  industrial  and  mining  sectors.  Our  customers  are 
primarily freight and passenger railcar manufacturers, rail maintenance and repair facilities, railroads, steel mills, and mining 
equipment manufacturers. We compete with both domestic and foreign manufacturers.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

The principal material used in our Transportation Products segment is steel. During 2020, the supply of steel was sufficient 
to  support  our  manufacturing  requirements.  Market  steel  prices  continue  to  exhibit  periods  of  volatility  and  ended  2020 
significantly higher than 2019. Steel prices may be volatile in the future in part as a result of market conditions. We often use 
contract-specific  purchasing  practices,  existing  supplier  commitments,  contractual  price  escalation  provisions,  and  other 
arrangements  with  our  customers  to  mitigate  the  effect  of  steel  price  volatility  on  our  operating  profit  for  the  year.  Arcosa’s 
manufacturing  operations  also  use  component  parts,  such  as  pumps,  engines,  and  hardware  for  tank  barges.  In  general,  we 
believe there is enough capacity in the supply industries to meet current production levels and that our existing contracts and 
other relationships with multiple suppliers will meet our current production forecasts.

Employee Health and Safety.

Arcosa is committed to safety across our operations. Our highest priority is the health and safety of our employees. We strive 
to continuously improve our procedures, processes, and management systems with regard to employee health and safety. These 
efforts  are  achieved  by  promoting  safe  work  practices  among  employees  and  contractors  and  maintaining  property  and 
equipment  in  safe  operating  conditions.  In  furtherance  of  Arcosa’s  commitment  to  improving  our  safety  performance,  the 
Company achieved improvements in certain safety metrics during 2020.

 In 2019, we launched a reenergized safety initiative named ARC 100 with a goal to achieve positive measurable change in 
our  safety  culture  by  empowering  employees  to  take  active  ownership.  Arcosa  is  partnering  with  a  leading  safety  culture 
consultant to continue building a strong safety culture throughout our businesses with the ARC 100 program. 

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical importance of focusing on the health and safety of our 
employees.  As  an  essential  business,  we  have  followed  the  federal,  state,  and  local  guidelines  governing  our  facilities  and 
shared  best  practices  across  the  organization.  We  implemented  safeguard  measures  including,  but  not  limited  to:  social 
distancing processes in all facilities; measures to temperature check and health screen employees daily; increased frequency of 
deep cleaning workspaces and common areas; reinforced hand washing and infection control training; processes to track and 
manage  employees  who  report  or  have  COVID-19  symptoms  or  exposure;  actions  to  screen,  limit,  or  prohibit  visitors  to  all 
facilities; and elimination of non-essential travel. Additionally, plant management were able to mobilize an operational response 
to  COVID-19  through  important  tools  created  by  a  collaborative  best  practices  team.  Arcosa  has  continued  to  monitor  and 
implement updates of CDC guidelines and best practices for COVID-19 mitigation procedures.

Diversity and Inclusion.

Arcosa  values  diversity  and  inclusion  within  its  workforce  and  is  committed  to  a  work  environment  which  promotes 
professionalism and inclusiveness. One of Arcosa’s core values is “We Win Together”. This core belief drives our commitment 
to  a  workplace  free  from  discrimination;  where  collaboration,  dedication,  and  unity  align  to  drive  favorable  results  for  all 
stakeholders. We are making strides to advance diversity in our workforce and leadership team.

Talent Attraction and Management.

Arcosa  believes  that  its  future  success  is  highly  dependent  upon  the  Company’s  continued  ability  to  attract,  retain  and 
motivate qualified employees. As part of the Company’s effort to attract and motivate employees, Arcosa offers competitive 
compensation and benefits, including healthcare and retirement benefits, parental and family leave, and holiday and paid time 
off.  During  2020,  the  Company  made  several  enhancements  to  its  benefit  plans.  Most  notably,  the  Company  simplified  and 
increased the matching program for its 401(K) plan. As a result, our employee participation has increased to 95%.

Arcosa  fosters  employee  development  through  a  variety  of  leadership  and  training  programs,  tuition  reimbursement  at 

education institutions, professional society memberships, and relevant conference and symposia attendance. 

Seasonality.  Results  in  our  Construction  Products  segment  are  affected  by  seasonal  fluctuations  with  the  second  and  third 

quarters historically being the quarters with the highest revenues.

Intellectual Property. Arcosa owns a number of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and licenses to intellectual 
property owned by others. Although Arcosa’s intellectual property rights are important to Arcosa’s success, we do not regard 
our business as being dependent on any single patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or license. For a discussion of risks 
related to our intellectual property, please refer to Item 1A. “Risk Factors - Risks Related to our Business and Operations.”

Governmental Regulation.

Construction Products. Arcosa’s Construction Products segment is subject to regulation by the U.S. Mine Safety and Health 
Administration (“MSHA”), the Health-Safety and Reclamation Code of Ministry of Mines for British Columbia, and various 
state agencies, and certain specialty materials are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).

Engineered Structures. Arcosa’s storage tanks are subject to the regulations by the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials 
Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) and the U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”), both of which are 
part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (“USDOT”), and various state agencies. These agencies promulgate and enforce 
rules and regulations pertaining, in part, to the manufacture of tanks that are used in the storage, transportation and transport 
arrangement, and distribution of regulated and non-regulated substances.

Transportation  Products.  The  primary  regulatory  and  industry  authorities  involved  in  the  regulation  of  the  inland  barge 
industry  are  the  U.S.  Coast  Guard,  the  U.S.  National  Transportation  Safety  Board,  the  U.S.  Customs  Service,  the  Maritime 
Administration  of  the  USDOT,  and  private  industry  organizations  such  as  the  American  Bureau  of  Shipping.  These 
organizations establish safety criteria, investigate vessel accidents, and recommend improved safety standards. 

Our steel components businesses that serve the railcar industry are regulated by governmental agencies such as the USDOT 
and the administrative agencies it oversees, including the Federal Railroad Administration, and industry authorities such as the 
Association  of  American  Railroads.  All  such  agencies  and  authorities  promulgate  rules,  regulations,  specifications,  and 
operating standards affecting rail-related safety standards for railroad equipment. 

Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Similar Regulations. In addition to the regulations described above, 
our operations are subject to regulation of health and safety matters by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration 
(“OSHA”)  and,  within  our  Construction  Products  segment,  MSHA.  We  believe  that  we  employ  appropriate  precautions  to 
protect  our  employees  and  others  from  workplace  injuries  and  harmful  exposure  to  materials  handled  and  managed  at  our 
facilities. However, claims that may be asserted against Arcosa for work-related illnesses or injury and the further adoption of 
occupational and mine safety and health regulations in the U.S. or in foreign jurisdictions in which we operate could increase 
our  operating  costs.  While  we  do  not  anticipate  having  to  make  material  expenditures  in  order  to  remain  in  substantial 
compliance with health and safety laws and regulations, we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance.

International Regulations. We ship raw materials to Mexico and manufacture products in Mexico that are sold in the U.S. or 
elsewhere, which are subject to customs and other regulations. In addition, we are subject to other governmental regulations and 
authorities in Mexico and other countries where we conduct business that regulate products manufactured, sold, or used in those 
countries. 

Environmental,  Health,  and  Safety.  We  are  subject  to  federal,  state,  and  international  environmental,  health,  and  safety 
laws and regulations in the U.S., Mexico, and each country in which we operate, including the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency  (“USEPA”).  These  include  laws  regulating  air  emissions,  water  discharge,  hazardous  materials,  and  waste 
management.  We  have  an  environmental  management  structure  designed  to  facilitate  and  support  our  compliance  with  these 
requirements  globally.  Although  it  is  our  intent  to  comply  with  all  such  requirements  and  regulations,  we  cannot  provide 
assurance that we are at all times in compliance. Environmental requirements are complex, change frequently, and have tended 
to become more stringent over time. Accordingly, we cannot assure that environmental requirements will not change or become 
more stringent over time or that our eventual environmental costs and liabilities will not be material.

9

Certain environmental laws assess liability on current or previous owners or operators of real property for the cost of removal 
or remediation of hazardous substances. At this time, we are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to 
environmental remediation matters at certain of our facilities. In addition, there may be soil or groundwater contamination at 
several of our properties resulting from historical, ongoing, or nearby activities.

We cannot ensure that our eventual environmental remediation costs and liabilities will not exceed the amount of our current 
reserves. In the event that such liabilities were to significantly exceed the amounts recorded, our results of operations could be 
materially  adversely  affected.  See  “Critical  Accounting  Policies  and  Estimates”  in  Item  7.  “Management’s  Discussion  and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial 
Statements for further information regarding reserves for environmental matters.

See Item 1A for further discussion of risk factors with regard to environmental, governmental, and other matters.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Arcosa's business, liquidity and financial condition, results of operations, and stock price may be impacted by a number of 
factors. In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this report, the following risks and uncertainties could materially harm 
its business, liquidity and financial condition, results of operations, or stock price, including causing its actual results to differ 
materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements. The following list of material risk factors is not all-inclusive 
or  necessarily  in  order  of  importance.  Additional  risks  and  uncertainties  not  presently  known  to  Arcosa  or  that  it  currently 
deems immaterial also may materially adversely affect it in future periods.

Risks Related to our Business and Operations.

The current global COVID-19 pandemic and other similar outbreaks may adversely affect Arcosa’s business, liquidity and 

financial condition, results of operations, and stock price. 

Arcosa’s  business,  liquidity  and  financial  condition,  results  of  operations,  and  stock  price  may  be  adversely  affected  if  a 
pandemic  or  outbreak  of  an  infectious  disease  occurs.  For  example,  the  current  outbreak  of  COVID-19  has  disrupted  global 
trade,  commerce,  financial  and  credit  markets,  and  daily  life  throughout  the  world.  If  federal,  state,  or  local  authorities 
determine that Arcosa’s operations are non-essential or non-critical, or if one or more of Arcosa’s facilities become subject to 
governmental  ordered  closure,  voluntary  temporary  closure,  or  closure  from  a  COVID-19  outbreak  within  the  facility,  the 
business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations for the affected segment or for Arcosa as a whole could be 
materially affected.

In  addition,  certain  of  Arcosa’s  workers  and  operations  are  located  in  areas  where  travel  and  curfew  restrictions  or  other 
regulatory restrictions have been imposed with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as Mexico. Disruptions to Arcosa’s 
cross-border business transactions and activities caused by COVID-19 could materially affect Arcosa’s business and results of 
operations.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, financial and liquidity position, results of operations, and 
stock price will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and 
scope of the pandemic; governmental, business, and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to 
the pandemic; the impact of the pandemic on economic activity , and actions taken in response; the effect on our customers and 
customer demand for our products and services; our ability to sell and provide our products and services, including as a result of 
travel restrictions and people working from home; if members of our management and other key personnel in critical functions 
across Arcosa are unable to perform their duties or have limited availability; the ability of our customers to pay for our products 
and  services;  any  disruption  in  our  supply  chain;  the  ability  to  procure  the  required  personal  protective  equipment  for  our 
employees; our ability to continue operations in compliance with COVID-19 related regulations; and any closures of our and 
our  customers’  facilities;  cybersecurity  and  IT  infrastructure  risks  from  the  increase  in  our  employees'  remote  working;  the 
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health and safety of our employees; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 
demand  for  commodities,  including  oil,  served  by  our  products  and  services;  and  the  pace  of  recovery  when  the  COVID-19 
pandemic subsides, as well as, the response to a potential reoccurrence. In addition, the negative impact on the economy could 
cause customers to postpone projects, cancel or delay orders, or file bankruptcy. Any of these events could cause or contribute 
to  the  risks  and  uncertainties  and  could  materially  adversely  affect  our  business,  liquidity  and  financial  condition,  results  of 
operations, and/or stock price.

Many of the industries in which Arcosa operates are subject to global market volatility and economic cyclicality.

Instability in the global economy, negative conditions in the global credit markets, volatility in the industries that Arcosa’s 
products  serve,  fluctuations  in  commodity  prices,  changes  in  legislative  policy,  adverse  changes  in  the  availability  of  raw 
materials  and  supplies,  or  adverse  changes  in  the  liquidity  and  financial  condition  of  Arcosa’s  customers  could  lead  to  a 
reduction  in  orders  for  Arcosa’s  products  and  customers’  requests  for  deferred  deliveries  of  Arcosa’s  backlog  orders. 
Additionally,  such  events  could  result  in  Arcosa’s  customers’  attempts  to  unilaterally  cancel  or  terminate  firm  contracts  or 
orders in whole or in part resulting in contract or purchase order breaches which could result in increased commercial litigation 
costs.

If  volatile  conditions  in  the  global  credit  markets  prevent  our  customers’  access  to  credit,  product  order  volumes  may 
decrease,  or  customers  may  default  on  payments  owed  to  Arcosa.  Likewise,  if  Arcosa’s  suppliers  face  challenges  obtaining 
credit, selling their products to customers that require purchasing credit, or otherwise operating their businesses, the supply of 
materials Arcosa purchases from them to manufacture its products may be interrupted.

Periodic downturns in economic conditions usually have a significant adverse effect on cyclical industries in which Arcosa 
participates  due  to  decreased  demand  for  new  and  replacement  products.  Decreased  demand  could  result  in  lower  sales 
volumes, lower prices, and/or a decline in or loss of profits. The barge industry in particular has previously experienced sharp 
cyclical  downturns  and  at  such  times  operated  with  a  minimal  backlog.  While  the  business  cycles  of  Arcosa’s  different 
operations may not typically coincide, an economic downturn could affect disparate cycles contemporaneously.

12

Any of the foregoing market or industry conditions or events could result in reductions in Arcosa’s revenues, increased price 
competition, or increased operating costs, which could adversely affect Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, and 
results of operations.

Arcosa  operates  in  highly  competitive  industries.  Arcosa  may  not  be  able  to  sustain  its  market  positions,  which  may 

impact its financial results.

Arcosa faces aggressive competition in all geographic markets and each industry sector in which it operates. In addition to 
price, Arcosa faces competition in respect to product performance and technological innovation, quality, reliability of delivery, 
customer service, and other factors. The effects of this competition, which is often intense, could reduce Arcosa’s revenues and 
operating profits, limit Arcosa’s ability to grow, increase pricing pressure on Arcosa’s products, and otherwise affect Arcosa’s 
financial results.

Equipment  failures  or  extensive  damage  to  Arcosa’s  facilities,  including  as  might  occur  as  a  result  of  natural  disasters, 
could lead to production, delivery or service curtailments or shutdowns, loss of revenue or higher expenses.

Arcosa operates a substantial amount of equipment at Arcosa’s production facilities, several of which are situated in tornado 
and  hurricane  zones  and  on  navigable  waterways  in  the  U.S.  An  interruption  in  production  capabilities  or  maintenance  and 
repair  capabilities  at  Arcosa’s  facilities,  as  a  result  of  equipment  or  technology  failure  or  acts  of  nature,  including  non-
navigation  orders  resulting  from  excessive  or  low-water  conditions  issued  from  time  to  time  by  the  U.S.  Army  Corps  of 
Engineers  on  one  or  more  U.S.  rivers  that  serve  Arcosa’s  facilities,  could  reduce  or  prevent  Arcosa’s  production,  delivery, 
service,  or  repair  of  Arcosa’s  products  and  increase  Arcosa’s  costs  and  expenses.  A  halt  of  production  at  any  of  Arcosa’s 
manufacturing  facilities  could  severely  affect  delivery  times  to  Arcosa’s  customers.  While  Arcosa  maintains  emergency 
response  and  business  recovery  plans  that  are  intended  to  allow  Arcosa  to  recover  from  natural  disasters  that  could  disrupt 
Arcosa’s  business,  Arcosa  cannot  provide  assurances  that  its  plans  would  fully  protect  Arcosa  from  the  effects  of  all  such 
disasters. In addition, insurance may not adequately compensate Arcosa for any losses incurred as a result of natural or other 
disasters,  which  may  adversely  affect  Arcosa’s  financial  condition.  Any  significant  delay  in  deliveries  not  otherwise 
contractually mitigated by favorable force majeure or other provisions could result in cancellation of all or a portion of Arcosa’s 
orders, cause Arcosa to lose future sales, and negatively affect Arcosa’s reputation and Arcosa’s results of operations.

Arcosa depends on its key management employees, and Arcosa may not be able to retain their services in the future.

Arcosa’s success depends on the continued services of its executive team and key management employees, none of whom 
currently have an employment agreement with Arcosa. Arcosa may not be able to retain the services of its executives and key 
management in the future. The loss of the services of one or more executives or key members of Arcosa’s management team, or 
Arcosa’s  inability  to  successfully  develop  talent  for  succession  planning,  could  result  in  increased  costs  associated  with 
attracting and retaining a replacement and could disrupt Arcosa’s operations and result in a loss of revenues.

A material disruption at one or more of Arcosa’s manufacturing facilities or in Arcosa’s supply chain could have a material 
adverse effect on us.

Arcosa owns and operates manufacturing facilities of various ages and levels of automated control and relies on a number of 
third parties as part of Arcosa’s supply chain, including for the efficient distribution of products to Arcosa’s customers. Any 
disruption  at  one  of  Arcosa’s  manufacturing  facilities  or  within  Arcosa’s  supply  chain  could  prevent  Arcosa  from  meeting 
demand or require Arcosa to incur unplanned capital expenditures. Older facilities are generally less energy-efficient and are at 
an increased risk of breakdown or equipment failure, resulting in unplanned downtime. Any unplanned downtime at Arcosa’s 
facilities, including due to a pandemic related shutdown or work stoppage, may cause delays in meeting customer timelines, 
result in liquidated damages claims, or cause Arcosa to lose or harm customer relationships.

Additionally, Arcosa requires specialized equipment to manufacture certain of its products, and if any of its manufacturing 
equipment  or  technology  fails,  the  time  required  to  repair  or  replace  this  equipment  could  be  lengthy,  which  could  result  in 
extended downtime at the affected facility. Any unplanned repair or replacement work can also be very expensive. Moreover, 
manufacturing facilities can unexpectedly stop operating because of events unrelated to Arcosa or beyond its control, including 
fires and other industrial accidents, floods and other severe weather events, natural disasters, environmental incidents or other 
catastrophes,  utility  and  transportation  infrastructure  disruptions,  shortages  of  raw  materials,  acts  of  war  or  terrorism,  and  a 
pandemic related shutdown or work stoppage. Work stoppages, whether union-organized or not, can also disrupt operations at 
manufacturing facilities.

Furthermore,  any  shortages  in  trucking  capacity,  any  increase  in  the  cost  thereof,  or  any  other  disruption  to  the  highway 
systems, including due to a pandemic related shutdown or work stoppage, could limit Arcosa’s ability to deliver its products in 
a  timely  manner  or  at  all.  Any  material  disruption  at  one  or  more  of  Arcosa’s  facilities  or  those  of  Arcosa’s  customers  or 
suppliers or otherwise within Arcosa’s supply chain, whether as a result of downtime, facility damage, an inability to deliver 
Arcosa’s  products  or  otherwise,  could  prevent  Arcosa  from  meeting  demand,  require  Arcosa  to  incur  unplanned  capital 
expenditures, or cause other material disruption to Arcosa’s operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on 
Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations.

13

Delays in construction projects and any failure to manage Arcosa’s inventory could have a material adverse effect on us.

  Many  of  Arcosa’s  products  are  used  in  large-scale  construction  projects  which  generally  require  a  significant  amount  of 
planning and preparation before construction commences. However, construction projects can be delayed and rescheduled for a 
number of reasons, including unanticipated soil conditions, adverse weather or flooding, changes in project priorities, financing 
issues,  difficulties  in  complying  with  environmental  and  other  government  regulations  or  obtaining  permits,  additional  time 
required  to  acquire  rights-of-way  or  property  rights,  and  a  pandemic  related  shutdown  or  work  stoppage.  These  delays  or 
rescheduling may occur with too little notice to allow Arcosa to replace those projects in Arcosa’s manufacturing schedules or 
to  adjust  production  capacity  accordingly,  creating  unplanned  downtime,  increasing  costs  and  inefficiencies  in  Arcosa’s 
operations, and increased levels of obsolete inventory.

Additionally,  Arcosa  maintains  an  inventory  of  certain  products  that  meet  standard  specifications  and  are  ultimately 
purchased  by  a  variety  of  end  users.  Arcosa  forecasts  demand  for  these  products  to  ensure  that  it  keeps  sufficient  inventory 
levels of certain products that Arcosa expects to be in high demand and limits its inventory for which Arcosa does not expect 
much  interest.  However,  Arcosa’s  forecasts  are  not  always  accurate  and  unexpected  changes  in  demand  for  these  products, 
whether  because  of  a  change  in  preferences  or  otherwise,  can  lead  to  increased  levels  of  obsolete  inventory.  Any  delays  in 
construction  projects  and  Arcosa’s  customers’  orders  or  any  inability  to  manage  Arcosa’s  inventory  could  have  a  material 
adverse effect on Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations.

The  seasonality  of  Arcosa’s  business  and  its  susceptibility  to  severe  and  prolonged  periods  of  adverse  weather  and  other 
conditions could have a material adverse effect on us.

Demand for Arcosa’s products in some markets is typically seasonal, with periods of snow or heavy rain negatively affecting 
construction  activity.  For  example,  sales  of  Arcosa’s  products  are  somewhat  higher  from  spring  through  autumn  when 
construction activity is greatest. Construction activity declines in these markets during the winter months in particular due to 
inclement  weather,  frozen  ground,  and  fewer  hours  of  daylight.  Construction  activity  can  also  be  affected  in  any  period  by 
adverse  weather  conditions  such  as  hurricanes,  severe  storms,  torrential  rains  and  floods,  natural  disasters  such  as  fires  and 
earthquakes,  a  pandemic  related  shutdown  or  work  stoppage,  and  similar  events,  any  of  which  could  reduce  demand  for 
Arcosa’s products, push back existing orders to later dates or lead to cancellations.

Furthermore,  Arcosa’s  ability  to  deliver  products  on  time  or  at  all  to  Arcosa’s  customers  can  be  significantly  impeded  by 
such  conditions  and  events  described  above.  Public  holidays  and  vacation  periods  constitute  an  additional  factor  that  may 
exacerbate certain seasonality effects, as building projects or industrial manufacturing processes may temporarily cease. These 
conditions, particularly when unanticipated, can leave both equipment and personnel underutilized.

Additionally,  the  seasonal  nature  of  Arcosa’s  business  has  led  to  variation  in  Arcosa’s  quarterly  results  in  the  past  and  is 
expected to continue to do so in the future. This general seasonality of Arcosa’s business and any severe or prolonged adverse 
weather  conditions  or  other  similar  events  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  Arcosa’s  business,  liquidity  and  financial 
condition, and results of operations.

For  example,  the  February  2021  winter  storm  in  Texas  and  the  broader  Southern  United  States  will  impact  our  Q1 
performance, as we lost more than one week of production across a significant part of our operating footprint. As of the date of 
this release, we have restored operations in most of our facilities but may experience continuing impacts in our supply chain, 
particularly for steel mill production that was impacted by the storm.

Risks related to Arcosa’s operations outside of the U.S., particularly Mexico, could decrease Arcosa’s profitability.

Arcosa’s  operations  outside  of  the  U.S.  are  subject  to  the  risks  associated  with  cross-border  business  transactions  and 
activities.  Political,  legal,  trade,  economic  change  or  instability,  criminal  activities,  or  social  unrest  could  limit  or  curtail 
Arcosa’s respective foreign business activities and operations, including the ability to hire and retain employees. Violence in 
Mexico associated with drug trafficking is continuing. Arcosa has not, to date, been materially affected by any of these risks, 
but Arcosa cannot predict the likelihood of future effects from such risks or any resulting adverse impact on Arcosa’s business, 
liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations. Arcosa ships raw materials to Mexico and manufactures products in 
Mexico that are sold in the U.S. or elsewhere, which are subject to customs and other regulations and the transportation and 
import  of  such  products  may  be  disrupted.  Some  foreign  countries  where  Arcosa  operates  have  regulatory  authorities  that 
regulate products sold or used in those countries. If Arcosa fails to comply with the applicable regulations related to the foreign 
countries where Arcosa operates, Arcosa may be unable to market and sell its products in those countries or could be subject to 
administrative fines or penalties.

In  addition,  with  respect  to  operations  in  Mexico  and  other  foreign  countries,  unexpected  changes  in  the  political 
environment,  laws,  rules,  and  regulatory  requirements;  tariffs  and  other  trade  barriers,  including  regulatory  initiatives  for 
buying  goods  produced  in  America;  more  stringent  or  restrictive  laws,  rules  and  regulations  relating  to  labor  or  the 
environment;  adverse  tax  consequences;  price  exchange  controls  and  restrictions;  regulations  affecting  cross-border  rail  and 
vehicular traffic; or availability of commodities, including gasoline and electricity, could limit operations affecting production 
throughput and making the manufacture and distribution of Arcosa’s products less timely or more difficult. 

14

Furthermore,  any  material  change  in  the  quotas,  regulations  or  duties  on  imports  imposed  by  the  U.S.  government  and 
agencies or on exports by the government of Mexico or its agencies, could affect Arcosa’s ability to export products that Arcosa 
manufactures  in  Mexico.  Failure  to  comply  with  such  import  and  export  regulations  could  result  in  significant  fines  and 
penalties.

Because Arcosa has operations outside the U.S., Arcosa could be adversely affected by final judgments of non-compliance 
with  the  U.S.  Foreign  Corrupt  Practices  Act  of  1977  (“FCPA”)  or  import/export  rules  and  regulations  and  similar  anti-
corruption, anti-bribery, or import/export laws of other countries.

Potential  expansion  of  our  business  may  expose  us  to  new  business,  regulatory,  political,  operational,  financial, 
and economic risks associated with such expansion, both inside and outside of the U.S.

Previously, we have expanded and plan in the future to expand our business and operations, and this expansion may involve 
expansion into markets (either inside or outside the U.S.) in which we have limited operating experience, including with respect 
to  seeking  regulatory  approvals,  becoming  subject  to  regulatory  authorities,  and  marketing  or  selling  products.  Further,  our 
operations in new foreign markets may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including: general economic conditions 
and  monetary  and  fiscal  policy;  financial  risks,  such  as  longer  payment  cycles,  difficulty  in  collecting  from  international 
customers,  the  effect  of  local  and  regional  financial  crises,  and  exposure  to  foreign  currency  exchange  rate  fluctuations  and 
controls;  multiple,  conflicting,  and  changing  laws  and  regulations  such  as  export  and  import  restrictions,  employment  laws, 
regulatory requirements, and other governmental approvals, permits, and licenses; interest rates and taxation laws and policies; 
increased  government  regulation;  social  stability;  and  political,  economic,  or  diplomatic  developments.  Certain  jurisdictions 
have,  from  time  to  time,  experienced  instances  of  civil  unrest  and  hostilities,  both  internally  and  with  neighboring  countries. 
Rioting, military activity, terrorist attacks, or armed hostilities could cause our operations in such jurisdictions to be adversely 
affected  or  suspended.  We  generally  do  not  have  insurance  for  losses  and  interruptions  caused  by  terrorist  attacks,  military 
conflicts, and wars.

In addition, anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws may conflict with some local customs and practices in foreign jurisdictions. 
Our  operations  in  international  jurisdictions  may  be  adversely  affected  by  regulatory  and  compliance  risks  that  relate  to 
maintaining accurate information and control over activities that may fall within the purview of the FCPA, including both its 
books and records provisions and its anti-bribery provisions. As a result of our policy to comply with the FCPA and similar 
anti-bribery laws, we may be at a competitive disadvantage to competitors that are not subject to, or do not comply with, such 
laws

Any  of  these  factors  could  significantly  harm  our  potential  business  or  international  expansion  and  our  operations  and, 

consequently, our revenues, costs, results of operations, and financial condition.

Arcosa may incur increased costs due to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Arcosa  is  exposed  to  risks  associated  with  fluctuations  in  interest  rates  and  changes  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates. 
Under  varying  circumstances,  Arcosa  may  seek  to  minimize  these  risks  through  the  use  of  hedges  and  similar  financial 
instruments  and  other  activities,  although  these  measures,  if  and  when  implemented,  may  not  be  effective.  Any  material  and 
untimely changes in interest rates or exchange rates could adversely impact our business, liquidity and financial condition, and 
results of operations.

The loss of revenues attributable to one of our customers could negatively impact our revenues and results of operations.

GE, a customer in our Engineered Structures segment, accounted for approximately 15.3% of our consolidated revenues in 
2020.  The  loss  of  revenues  attributable  to  this  customer  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  revenues  and  results  of 
operations.

Arcosa may not be able to successfully identify, consummate or integrate acquisitions, and acquisitions may bring additional 
known and unknown risks to Arcosa’s business.

Arcosa expects to routinely engage in the search for growth opportunities, including assessment of merger and acquisition 
prospects  in  new  markets  and/or  products.  However,  Arcosa  may  not  be  able  to  identify  and  secure  suitable  opportunities. 
Arcosa’s ability to consummate any acquisitions on terms that are favorable to Arcosa may be limited by a number of factors, 
such as competition for attractive targets and, to the extent necessary, Arcosa’s ability to obtain financing on satisfactory terms, 
if at all.

In addition, any merger or acquisition into which Arcosa may enter is subject to known and unknown risks of such business, 
markets,  and/or  products  and  integrating  such  business,  financial  systems,  markets,  and/or  products  into  Arcosa’s  businesses 
and  culture.  The  failure  to  successfully  integrate  such  mergers  or  acquisitions  could  prevent  Arcosa  from  achieving  the 
anticipated operating and cost synergies or long-term strategic benefits from such transactions.

15

If Arcosa is not able to successfully integrate its transactions to any material degree, such failure of a successful integration 
could  result  in  unexpected  claims  or  otherwise  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  Arcosa’s  business,  liquidity  and  financial 
condition,  and  results  of  operations.  Integration  risks  include  the  following:  (i)  the  diversion  of  management’s  time  and 
resources  to  integration  matters  from  other  Arcosa  matters;  (ii)  difficulties  in  achieving  business  opportunities  and  growth 
prospects of the acquired business; (iii) difficulties in managing the expanded operations; and (iv) challenges in retaining key 
personnel.

Recent acquisitions bring known and unknown risks to Arcosa, and Arcosa may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits 
of the acquisitions or those benefits may be delayed.

The  recent  acquisitions  of  Cherry  and  Strata  Materials  bring  new  lines  of  businesses  to  Arcosa,  including  demolition  and 
recycling  services.  These  new  lines  of  businesses  involve  known  and  unknown  risks.  If  any  of  these  risks  occur,  they  could 
result in a material adverse effect on Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, or results of operations. In addition, 
some  or  all  of  Arcosa’s  anticipated  benefits  from  these  acquisitions  may  not  be  realized.  Some  of  these  benefits  may  not  be 
realized  due  to  Cherry’s  concentration  in  the  Houston,  Texas-area  market  and  Strata  Materials’  concentration  in  the  Dallas, 
Texas-area  market.  A  downturn  in  these  markets  could  have  a  disproportionate  adverse  impact  on  the  acquired  company’s 
business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations.

Acquisitions and divestitures bring risks that the counterparties to the transactions may fail to perform.

Certain  acquisitions  and  divestitures  may  require  Arcosa’s  counterparties  to  indemnify  Arcosa  for  certain  liabilities, 
including,  but  not  limited  to,  certain  liabilities  related  to  product  warranties.  However,  third  parties  could  also  seek  to  hold 
Arcosa responsible for these liabilities that Arcosa’s counterparties agreed to provide indemnification for, and there can be no 
assurance  that  the  indemnity  from  these  counterparties  or  any  insurance  will  be  sufficient  to  protect  Arcosa  against  the  full 
amount of such potential liabilities, or that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their indemnification obligations.

Some of Arcosa’s customers place orders for Arcosa’s products (i) in reliance on their ability to utilize tax benefits or tax 
credits  such  as  accelerated  depreciation  or  the  production  tax  credit  for  renewable  energy  or  (ii)  to  utilize  federal-aid 
programs  that  allow  for  purchase  price  reimbursement  or  other  government  funding  or  subsidies,  any  of  which  benefits, 
credits, or programs could be or are being discontinued or allowed to expire without extension thereby reducing demand for 
certain of Arcosa’s products.

There  is  no  assurance  that  the  U.S.  government  will  reauthorize,  modify,  or  otherwise  not  allow  the  expiration  of  tax 
benefits,  tax  credits,  subsidies,  or  federal-aid  programs  that  may  include  funding  of  the  purchase  or  purchase  price 
reimbursement of certain of Arcosa’s products. For example, the qualification year for new wind energy projects eligible for the 
federal renewable electricity production tax credit (the “PTC”) was set to expire in calendar year 2020; however, just prior to 
expiration, it was extended for one year as part of the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Relief Act of 2020, and the resulting tax 
credit for these new projects that begin construction in 2021 and are placed in service by 2025 was maintained at 60% of the 
original tax credit. Pricing of orders and individual order quantities reflect a market transitioning from the PTC incentives, as 
the  level  of  credit  for  eligible  projects  placed  in  service  through  2025  is  scheduled  to  step  down  and  ultimately  expire.  In 
instances where any benefits, credits, subsidies, or programs are allowed to expire or are otherwise modified or discontinued, 
the  demand  for  Arcosa’s  products  could  decrease,  thereby  creating  the  potential  for  a  material  adverse  effect  on  Arcosa’s 
business,  liquidity  and  financial  condition,  or  results  of  operations  and  could  result  in  non-cash  impairments  on  long-lived 
assets, including intangible assets, and/or goodwill.

Arcosa's  indebtedness  restricts  its  current  and  future  operations,  which  could  adversely  affect  its  ability  to  respond  to 
changes in its business and manage its operations.

On  January  2,  2020,  Arcosa  entered  into  an  Amended  and  Restated  Credit  Agreement  (the  “Credit  Agreement”),  by  and 
among Arcosa, as borrower, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement includes a number of restrictive covenants that 
impose  significant  operating  and  financial  restrictions  on  Arcosa,  including  restrictions  on  its  and  its  guarantors'  ability  to, 
among  other  things  and  subject  to  certain  exceptions,  incur  or  guarantee  additional  indebtedness,  merge  or  dispose  of  all  or 
substantially all of its assets, engage in transactions with affiliates and make certain restricted payments. In addition, the Credit 
Agreement requires Arcosa to comply with financial covenants. The Credit Agreement requires that we maintain a minimum 
interest  coverage  ratio  of  no  less  than  2.50  to  1.00  and  maximum  leverage  ratio  of  no  greater  than  3.00  to  1.00,  subject  to 
certain exceptions, in each case, for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters of Arcosa.

For  more  information  on  the  restrictive  covenants  in  the  Credit  Agreement,  see  “Item  7.  Management’s  Discussion  and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Arcosa's ability to comply with 
these  agreements  may  be  affected  by  events  beyond  its  control,  including  prevailing  economic,  financial,  and  industry 
conditions.  These  covenants  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on  Arcosa's  business  by  limiting  its  ability  to  take  advantage  of 
financing, merger and acquisition, or other opportunities. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a 
default under the Credit Agreement.

16

The phaseout of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and the replacement of LIBOR with a different reference rate 
may have an adverse effect on Arcosa’s business.

The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) has announced that it would phase 
out the most popular LIBOR indices by the end of June 2023. It is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be 
established or if alternative benchmark reference rates will be adopted. Arcosa’s revolving credit facility, term loan, and other 
financial instruments utilize LIBOR or an alternative benchmark reference rate for calculating the applicable interest rate. After 
LIBOR is phased out, the interest rates for these obligations might be subject to change. The replacement of LIBOR with an 
alternative  benchmark  reference  rate  may  adversely  affect  interest  rates  and  result  in  higher  borrowing  costs  under  Arcosa’s 
current  or  future  credit  agreements  and  financial  instruments.  This  could  materially  and  adversely  affect  Arcosa’s  business, 
liquidity and financial condition, results of operations, and ability to acquire debt financing. Arcosa cannot predict the effect of 
the elimination of LIBOR or the establishment and use of alternative benchmark reference rates and the corresponding effects 
on Arcosa’s cost of capital.

Fluctuations in the price and supply of raw materials and parts and components used in the production of Arcosa’s products 
and the availability of natural aggregates and specialty materials reserves could have a material adverse effect on its ability 
to cost-effectively manufacture and sell its products. In some instances, Arcosa relies on a limited number of suppliers for 
certain raw materials, parts, and components needed in its production.

A  significant  portion  of  Arcosa’s  business  depends  on  the  adequate  supply  of  numerous  specialty  and  other  parts  and 
components at competitive prices such as flanges for the structural wind towers business. Arcosa’s manufacturing operations 
partially depend on Arcosa’s ability to obtain timely deliveries of raw materials, parts, and components in acceptable quantities 
and quality from Arcosa’s suppliers. Certain raw materials, parts, and components for Arcosa’s products are currently available 
from  a  limited  number  of  suppliers  and,  as  a  result,  Arcosa  may  have  limited  control  over  pricing,  availability,  and  delivery 
schedules.  If  Arcosa  is  unable  to  purchase  a  sufficient  quantity  of  raw  materials,  parts,  and  components  on  a  timely  basis, 
Arcosa could face disruptions in its production and incur delays while Arcosa attempts to engage alternative suppliers. Fewer 
suppliers  could  result  from  unimproved  or  worsening  economic  or  commercial  conditions,  potentially  increasing  Arcosa’s 
rejections  for  poor  quality  and  requiring  Arcosa  to  source  unknown  and  distant  supply  alternatives.  Any  such  disruption  or 
conditions could harm Arcosa’s business and adversely impact Arcosa’s results of operations.

The  principal  material  used  in  Arcosa’s  manufacturing  segments  is  steel.  Market  steel  prices  may  exhibit  periods  of 
volatility. Steel prices may experience further volatility as a result of scrap surcharges assessed by steel mills, tariffs, and other 
market  factors.  Arcosa  often  uses  contract-specific  purchasing  practices,  supplier  commitments,  contractual  price  escalation 
provisions, and other arrangements with Arcosa’s customers to mitigate the effect of this volatility on Arcosa’s operating profits 
for the year. To the extent that Arcosa does not have such arrangements in place, a change in steel prices could materially lower 
Arcosa’s profitability. In addition, meeting production demands is dependent on Arcosa’s ability to obtain a sufficient amount 
of steel. An unanticipated interruption in Arcosa’s supply chain could have an adverse impact on both Arcosa’s margins and 
production schedules.

A part of the operations in Arcosa’s Construction Products segment includes the mining of natural aggregates and specialty 
materials reserves. The success and viability of these operations depend on the accuracy of Arcosa’s reserve estimates, the costs 
of  production  and  the  ability  to  economically  distribute  the  natural  aggregates  and  specialty  materials.  Estimates  for  natural 
aggregate and specialty materials reserves and for the costs of production of such reserves depend upon a variety of factors and 
assumptions, many of which involve uncertainties beyond Arcosa’s control, such as geological and mining conditions that may 
not be identifiable. In addition, Arcosa's success in recovering natural aggregates and specialty materials depends on the ability 
to  secure  new  reserve  locations  and  permits  to  mine  such  reserves  in  areas  that  make  distribution  of  materials  economically 
viable.  Inaccuracies  in  reserve  estimates  and  production  costs,  and  the  inability  to  secure  locations  and  permits  for  future 
operations could negatively affect our results of operations.

Reductions in the availability of energy supplies or an increase in energy costs may increase Arcosa’s operating costs.

Arcosa uses electricity and various gases, including natural gas, at Arcosa’s manufacturing facilities and uses diesel fuel in 
vehicles to transport Arcosa’s products to customers and to operate its plant equipment. An outbreak or escalation of hostilities 
between the U.S. and any foreign power and, in particular, prolonged conflicts could result in a real or perceived shortage of 
petroleum and/or natural gas, which could result in an increase in the cost of natural gas or energy in general. Extreme weather 
conditions and natural occurrences such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods could result in varying states of disaster and a real 
or perceived shortage of petroleum and/or natural gas, including rationing thereof, potentially resulting in unavailability or an 
increase in natural gas prices, electricity prices, or other general energy costs. Speculative trading in energy futures in the world 
markets could also result in an increase in natural gas and general energy cost. Future limitations on the availability (including 
limitations  imposed  by  increased  regulation  or  restrictions  on  rail,  road,  and  pipeline  transportation  of  energy  supplies)  or 
consumption of petroleum products and/or an increase in energy costs, particularly natural gas for plant operations and diesel 
fuel  for  vehicles  and  plant  equipment,  could  have  an  adverse  effect  upon  our  ability  to  conduct  Arcosa’s  business  cost 
effectively.

The inability to hire and retain skilled labor could adversely impact Arcosa’s operations.

Arcosa  depends  on  skilled  labor  in  the  manufacture,  maintenance,  and  repair  of  Arcosa’s  products.  Some  of  Arcosa’s 
facilities are located in areas where demand for skilled laborers may exceed supply. If Arcosa is unable to hire and retain these 
skilled  laborers,  including  welders,  Arcosa  may  be  limited  in  its  ability  to  maintain  or  increase  production  rates  and  could 
increase Arcosa’s labor costs.

Some  of  Arcosa’s  employees  belong 
Arcosa’s operations.

to 

labor  unions  and  strikes  or  work  stoppages  could  adversely  affect 

Arcosa is a party to collective bargaining agreements with various labor unions at some of Arcosa’s operations in the U.S. 
and  Canada  and  all  of  Arcosa’s  operations  in  Mexico.  Disputes  with  regard  to  the  terms  of  these  agreements  or  Arcosa’s 
potential inability to negotiate acceptable contracts with these unions in the future could result in, among other things, strikes, 
work stoppages, or other slowdowns by the affected workers. Arcosa cannot be assured that its relations with its workforce will 
remain positive or that union organizers will not be successful in future attempts to organize at some of Arcosa’s facilities. If 
Arcosa’s workers were to engage in a strike, work stoppage, or other slowdown or other employees were to become unionized 
or the terms and conditions in future labor agreements were renegotiated, Arcosa could experience a significant disruption of its 
operations  and  higher  ongoing  labor  costs.  In  addition,  Arcosa  could  face  higher  labor  costs  in  the  future  as  a  result  of 
severance  or  other  charges  associated  with  lay-offs,  shutdowns,  or  reductions  in  the  size  and  scope  of  its  operations  or 
difficulties of restarting Arcosa’s operations that have been temporarily shuttered.

Our business is subject to significant regulatory compliance in the U.S., Mexico, and other countries where we do business.

We are subject to various governmental regulations in the U.S., Mexico, and other countries where we do business related to 
occupational safety and health, labor, and business practices. Failure to comply with current or future regulations or operating 
permits  could  result  in  the  imposition  of  substantial  fines,  suspension  of  production,  alterations  of  our  production  processes, 
cessation of operations, or other actions which could harm our business.

Although we believe that we are in material compliance with all applicable regulations and operating permits material to our 
business operations, amendments to existing statutes and regulations, adoption of new statutes and regulations, modification of  
existing operating permits, or entering into new lines of business could require us to continually alter our methods of operation 
and/or discontinue the sale of certain of our products resulting in costs to us that could be substantial. We may not be able, for 
financial or other reasons, to comply with applicable laws, rules, regulations, and permit requirements. Our failure to comply 
with applicable laws, rules, regulations, or permit requirements could subject us to civil remedies, including substantial fines, 
penalties, and injunctions, as well as possible criminal sanctions, which would, if of significant magnitude, materially adversely 
impact our future business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations. 

Violations of or changes in the regulatory requirements applicable to the industries in which Arcosa operates or will operate 
may have a material adverse effect on Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations.

Arcosa’s Transportation Products segment is subject to regulation by, among others, the U.S. Coast Guard; the U.S. National 
Transportation  Safety  Board;  the  U.S.  Customs  Service;  the  Maritime  Administration  of  the  USDOT  and  private  industry 
organizations  such  as  the  American  Bureau  of  Shipping.  These  organizations  establish  safety  criteria,  investigate  vessel 
accidents, and recommend improved safety standards.

Arcosa’s Construction Products segment is subject to regulation by MSHA, USEPA, FDA, and various state agencies.

Arcosa’s Engineered Structures segment is subject to the regulations by the PHMSA and the FMCSA, both of which are part 
of  the  USDOT;  and  various  state  agencies,  including  state  departments  of  transportation.  These  agencies  promulgate  and 
enforce  rules  and  regulations  pertaining,  in  part,  to  the  manufacture  of  tanks  that  are  used  in  the  storage,  transportation  and 
transport arrangement, and distribution of regulated and non-regulated substances.

Arcosa’s  operations  are  also  subject  to  regulation  of  health  and  safety  matters  by  OSHA  and  MSHA.  In  addition,  our 

business is subject to additional regulatory requirements in Mexico and other countries where we conduct business.

Future regulatory changes, new lines of business which are covered by regulatory agencies that Arcosa has not previously 
been subject to, or the determination that Arcosa’s current or future products or processes are not in compliance with applicable 
requirements,  rules,  regulations,  specifications,  standards  or  product  testing  criteria  might  result  in  additional  operating 
expenses,  administrative  fines  or  penalties,  product  recalls,  reputational  harm,  or  loss  of  business  that  could  have  a  material 
adverse effect on Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations. For example, the U.S. barge 
industry relies, in part, on the Jones Act, and changes to or a repeal of the legislation could have a material adverse impact on 
Arcosa’s barge business and revenues. In addition, the impact of a government shutdown could have a material adverse effect 
on  Arcosa's  revenues,  profits,  and  cash  flows.  Arcosa  relies  on  government  personnel  to  conduct  certain  routine  business 
processes  related  to  the  inspection  and  delivery  of  certain  products  that,  if  disrupted,  could  have  an  immediate  impact  on 
Arcosa's revenues and business.

18

Arcosa  is  subject  to  health  and  safety  laws  and  regulations  and  any  failure  to  comply  with  any  current  or  future  laws  or 
regulations could have a material adverse effect on us.

Manufacturing and construction sites are inherently dangerous workplaces. Arcosa’s manufacturing sites often put Arcosa’s 
employees  and  others  in  close  proximity  with  large  pieces  of  mechanized  equipment,  moving  vehicles,  chemical  and 
manufacturing  processes,  heavy  products  and  other  items,  and  highly  regulated  materials.  As  a  result,  Arcosa  is  subject  to  a 
variety  of  health  and  safety  laws  and  regulations  dealing  with  occupational  health  and  safety.  Unsafe  work  sites  have  the 
potential  to  increase  employee  turnover  and  raise  Arcosa’s  operating  costs.  Arcosa’s  safety  record  can  also  impact  Arcosa’s 
reputation.  Arcosa  maintains  functional  groups  whose  primary  purpose  is  to  ensure  Arcosa  implements  effective  work 
procedures throughout Arcosa’s organization and take other steps to ensure the health and safety of Arcosa’s work force, but 
there can be no assurances these measures will be successful in preventing injuries or violations of health and safety laws and 
regulations. Nationally there has been an increase in COVID-19 related employee health and safety litigation alleging employer 
liability  for  failing  to  comply  with  COVID-19  health  and  safety  standards,  and  Arcosa’s  continued  operations  could  expose 
Arcosa to similar claims. Any failure to maintain safe work sites or violations of applicable health and safety laws could expose 
Arcosa to significant financial losses and reputational harm, as well as civil and criminal liabilities, any of which could have a 
material adverse effect on Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations.

Arcosa has potential exposure to environmental liabilities that may increase costs and lower profitability.

Arcosa is subject to comprehensive federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations relating to: (i) the 
release or discharge of regulated materials into the environment at Arcosa’s facilities or with respect to Arcosa’s products while 
in  operation;  (ii)  the  management,  use,  processing,  handling,  storage,  transport  and  transport  arrangement,  and  disposal  of 
hazardous  and  non-hazardous  waste,  substances,  and  materials;  and  (iii)  other  activities  relating  to  the  protection  of  human 
health  and  the  environment.  Such  laws  and  regulations  expose  Arcosa  to  liability  for  its  own  acts  and  in  certain  instances 
potentially  expose  Arcosa  to  liability  for  the  acts  of  others.  These  laws  and  regulations  also  may  impose  liability  on  Arcosa 
currently  under  circumstances  where  at  the  time  of  the  action  taken,  Arcosa’s  acts  or  those  of  others  complied  with  then 
applicable  laws  and  regulations.  In  addition,  such  laws  may  require  significant  expenditures  to  achieve  compliance,  and  are 
frequently  modified  or  revised  to  impose  new  obligations.  Civil  and  criminal  fines  and  penalties  may  be  imposed  for  non-
compliance  with  these  environmental  laws  and  regulations.  Arcosa’s  operations  involving  hazardous  materials  also  raise 
potential risks of liability under common law.

Environmental operating permits are, or may be, required for Arcosa’s operations under these laws and regulations. These 
operating  permits  are  subject  to  modification,  renewal,  and  revocation.  Although  Arcosa  regularly  monitors  and  reviews  its 
operations, procedures, and policies for compliance with Arcosa’s operating permits and related laws and regulations, the risk 
of environmental liability is inherent in the operation of Arcosa’s businesses.

However, future events, such as changes in, or modified interpretations of, existing environmental laws and regulations or 
enforcement policies, or further investigation or evaluation of the potential health hazards associated with the manufacture of 
Arcosa’s  products  and  related  business  activities  and  properties,  may  give  rise  to  additional  compliance  and  other  costs  that 
could have a material adverse effect on Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition to environmental laws, the transportation of commodities by rail, barge, or container raises potential risks in the 
event of an accident that results in the release of an environmentally sensitive substance. Generally, liability under existing laws 
for  an  accident  depends  upon  causation  analysis  and  the  acts,  errors,  or  omissions,  if  any,  of  a  party  involved  in  the 
transportation activity, including, but not limited to, the shipper, the buyer, and the seller of the substances being transported, or 
the manufacturer of the barge, container, or its components. Additionally, the severity of injury or property damage arising from 
an incident may influence the causation responsibility analysis, exposing Arcosa to potentially greater liability. Under certain 
circumstances,  strict  liability  concepts  may  apply.  If  Arcosa  is  found  liable  in  any  such  incidents,  it  could  have  a  material 
adverse effect on Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations.

Responding  to  claims  relating  to  improper  handling,  transport,  storage,  or  disposal  of  hazardous  materials  could  be  time 
consuming and costly.

We use controlled hazardous materials in our business and generate wastes that are regulated as hazardous wastes under U.S. 
federal, state, and local environmental laws and under equivalent provisions of law in those and other jurisdictions in which our 
manufacturing facilities are located. Our use of these substances and materials is subject to stringent, and periodically changing, 
regulation  that  can  impose  costly  compliance  obligations  on  us  and  have  the  potential  to  adversely  affect  our  manufacturing 
activities. We are also subject to potential liability for claims alleging property damage and personal and bodily injury or death 
arising from the use of or exposure to our products, especially in connection with products we manufacture that our customers 
use to transport or store hazardous, flammable, toxic, or explosive materials.

The  risk  of  accidental  contamination  or  injury  from  these  materials  cannot  be  completely  eliminated.  If  an  accident  with 
these substances occurs, we could be held liable for any damages that result, as well as incurring clean-up costs and liabilities, 
which can be substantial. Additionally, an accident could damage our facilities, resulting in delays and increased costs.

19

Our manufacturing plants or other facilities may have unknown environmental conditions that could be expensive and time-
consuming to correct.

There can be no assurance that we will not encounter hazardous environmental conditions at any of our manufacturing plants 
or  other  facilities  that  may  require  us  to  incur  significant  clean-up  or  correction  costs.  Upon  encountering  a  hazardous 
environmental  condition  or  receiving  a  notice  of  a  hazardous  environmental  condition,  we  may  be  required  to  correct  the 
condition. The presence of a hazardous environmental condition relating to any of our manufacturing plants or other facilities 
may require significant expenditures to correct the environmental condition.

Business, regulatory, and legal developments regarding climate change, and physical impacts from climate change, could 
have an adverse effect on our business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations. 

Legislation  and  new  rules  to  regulate  emission  of  greenhouse  gases  (“GHGs”)  has  been  introduced  in  numerous  state 
legislatures, the U.S. Congress, and by the USEPA. Some of these proposals would require industries to meet new standards 
that  may  require  substantial  reductions  in  carbon  emissions.  There  is  also  a  potential  for  climate  change  legislation  and 
regulation  that  could  adversely  impact  the  cost  of  certain  manufacturing  inputs,  including  the  cost  of  energy  and  electricity. 
While Arcosa cannot assess the direct impact of these or other potential regulations, new climate change protocols could affect 
demand for its products and/or affect the price of materials, input factors, energy costs, and manufactured components. 

Potential impacts of climate change include physical impacts, such as disruption in production and product distribution due 
to  impacts  from  major  storm  events,  shifts  in  regional  weather  patterns  and  intensities,  and  sea  level  changes.  Other  adverse 
consequences of climate change could include an increased frequency of severe weather events, flooding, and rising sea levels 
that could affect operations at Arcosa’s manufacturing facilities as well as the price and/or availability of insurance coverage for 
the Company assets or other unforeseen disruptions of Arcosa’s operations, systems, property, or equipment. 

The impacts of climate change and related regulations on our operations and the Company overall are highly uncertain and 
difficult to estimate, but such effects could be materially adverse to our business, liquidity and financial condition, and results 
of operations.

From time to time Arcosa may take tax positions that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), the Servicio de Administracion 
Tributaria (“SAT”) in Mexico, or other taxing jurisdictions may contest.

Our subsidiaries have in the past and may in the future take tax positions that the IRS, the SAT, or other taxing jurisdictions 
may challenge. Arcosa is required to disclose to the IRS as part of Arcosa’s tax returns particular tax positions in which Arcosa 
has a reasonable basis for the position but not a “more likely than not” chance of prevailing. If the IRS, SAT, or other taxing 
jurisdictions  successfully  contests  a  tax  position  that  Arcosa  takes,  Arcosa  may  be  required  to  pay  additional  taxes  or  fines 
which may not have been previously accrued that may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position.

The limited number of customers for certain of Arcosa’s products, the variable purchase patterns of Arcosa’s customers in 
all of its segments, and the timing of completion, delivery, and customer acceptance of orders may cause Arcosa’s revenues 
and  income  from  operations  to  vary  substantially  each  quarter,  potentially  resulting  in  significant  fluctuations  in  its 
quarterly results.

Some of the markets Arcosa serves have a limited number of customers. The volumes purchased by customers in each of 
Arcosa’s  business  segments  vary  from  year  to  year,  and  not  all  customers  make  purchases  every  year.  As  a  result,  the  order 
levels for Arcosa’s products have varied significantly from quarterly period to quarterly period in the past and may continue to 
vary significantly in the future. Therefore, Arcosa’s results of operations in any particular quarterly period may also vary. As a 
result  of  these  quarterly  fluctuations,  Arcosa  believes  that  comparisons  of  its  sales  and  operating  results  between  quarterly 
periods may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance.

Some  of  Arcosa’s  products  are  sold  to  contractors,  distributors,  installers,  and  rental  companies  who  may  misuse,  abuse, 
improperly install, or improperly or inadequately maintain or repair such products, thereby potentially exposing Arcosa to 
claims that could increase Arcosa’s costs and weaken Arcosa’s liquidity and financial condition.

The products Arcosa manufactures are designed to work optimally when properly assembled, operated, installed, repaired, 
and maintained. When this does not occur, Arcosa may be subjected to claims or litigation associated with personal or bodily 
injuries or death and property damage.

U.S.  government  actions  relative  to  the  federal  budget,  taxation  policies,  government  expenditures,  U.S.  borrowing/debt 
ceiling limits, and trade policies could adversely affect Arcosa’s business and operating results.

Periods of impasse, deadlock, and last minute accords may continue to permeate many aspects of U.S. governance, including 
federal  government  budgeting  and  spending,  taxation,  U.S.  deficit  spending  and  debt  ceiling  adjustments,  and  international 
commerce.  Such  periods  could  negatively  impact  U.S.  domestic  and  global  financial  markets,  thereby  reducing  customer 
demand  for  Arcosa’s  products  and  services  and  potentially  result  in  reductions  in  Arcosa’s  revenues,  increased  price 

20

competition,  or  increased  operating  costs,  any  of  which  could  adversely  affect  Arcosa’s  business,  liquidity  and  financial 
condition, and results of operations. 

For  example,  Arcosa  produces  many  of  its  products  at  its  manufacturing  facilities  in  Mexico.  Arcosa’s  business  benefits 
from  free  trade  agreements  such  as  the  new  United  States-Mexico-Canada  Agreement  (“USMCA”).  Potential  developments, 
including failure to enforce the USMCA, potential changes or amendments to the agreement, governmental policies, and laws 
and regulations could adversely affect Arcosa’s existing production operations in Mexico and have a material adverse effect on 
Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations.

Arcosa’s business is based in part on government-funded infrastructure projects and building activities, and any reductions 
or re-allocation of spending or related subsidies in these areas could have an adverse effect on us.

Certain of Arcosa’s businesses depend on government spending for infrastructure and other similar building activities. As a 
result, demand for some of Arcosa’s products is influenced by U.S. federal government fiscal policies and tax incentives and 
other  subsidies.  Projects  in  which  Arcosa  participates  may  be  funded  directly  by  governments  or  privately-funded,  but  are 
otherwise tied to or impacted by government policies and spending measures.

Government infrastructure spending and governmental policies with respect thereto depend primarily on the availability of 
public funds, which is influenced by many factors, including governmental budgets; public debt levels; interest rates; existing, 
anticipated,  and  actual  federal,  state,  provincial,  and  local  tax  revenues;  government  leadership;  and  the  general  political 
climate, as well as other general macroeconomic and political factors. In addition, U.S. federal government funds may only be 
available based on states’ willingness to provide matching funding. Government spending is often approved only on a short-
term  basis  and  some  of  the  projects  in  which  Arcosa’s  products  are  used  require  longer-term  funding  commitments.  If 
government  funding  is  not  approved  or  funding  is  lowered  as  a  result  of  poor  economic  conditions,  lower  than  expected 
revenues, competing spending priorities, or other factors, it could limit infrastructure projects available, increase competition 
for  projects,  result  in  excess  inventory,  and  decrease  sales,  all  of  which  could  adversely  affect  the  profitability  of  Arcosa’s 
business.

Additionally,  certain  regions  or  states  may  require  or  possess  the  means  to  finance  only  a  limited  number  of  large 
infrastructure projects and periods of high demand may be followed by years of little to no activity. There can be no assurances 
that  governments  will  sustain  or  increase  current  infrastructure  spending  and  tax  incentive  and  other  subsidy  levels,  and  any 
reductions thereto or delays therein could affect Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations.

Arcosa’s manufacturer’s warranties expose Arcosa to product replacement and repair claims.

Depending on the product, Arcosa warrants its workmanship and certain materials (including surface coatings), parts, and 
components  pursuant  to  express  limited  contractual  warranties.  Arcosa  may  be  subject  to  significant  warranty  claims  in  the 
future, such as multiple claims based on one defect repeated throughout Arcosa’s production process or claims for which the 
cost  of  shipping,  repairing,  or  replacing  the  defective  part,  component,  or  material  is  highly  disproportionate  to  the  original 
price.  These  types  of  warranty  claims  could  result  in  significant  costs  associated  with  product  recalls  or  product  shipping, 
repair, or replacement, and damage to Arcosa’s reputation.

Defects in materials and workmanship could harm our reputation, expose us to product warranty or product liability claims, 
decrease demand for products, or materially harm existing or prospective customer relationships.

A defect in materials or in the manufacturing of our products could result in product warranty and product liability claims, 
decrease  demand  for  products,  or  materially  harm  existing  or  prospective  customer  relationships.  These  claims  may  require 
costly repairs or replacement and may include cost related to disassembly of our products and transportation of the products 
from the field to our facilities and returning the products to the customer, a change in our manufacturing processes, recall of 
previously manufactured products, or personal injury claims, which could result in significant expense and materially harm our 
existing or prospective customer relationships. Any of the foregoing could materially harm our business, liquidity and financial 
condition, and results of operations.

Insurance coverage could be costly, unavailable or inadequate.

Arcosa is subject to potential liability for third party claims alleging property damage and personal and bodily injury or death 
arising  from  the  use  of  or  exposure  to  Arcosa’s  products,  especially  in  connection  with  products  Arcosa  manufactures  that 
Arcosa’s  customers  use  to  transport  hazardous,  flammable,  toxic,  or  explosive  materials.  Arcosa’s  businesses  are  subject  to 
losses arising from property damages or losses from business interruption. As policies expire, premiums for renewed or new 
coverage  may  further  increase  and/or  require  that  Arcosa  increase  its  self-insured  retention,  deductibles,  or  overall  limits. 
Arcosa maintains primary coverage and excess coverage policies for liability claims as well as property damage. If the number 
of claims or the dollar amounts of any such claims rise in any policy year, Arcosa could suffer additional costs associated with 
accessing  its  excess  coverage  policies  or  in  the  renewal  of  its  insurance  programs.  Also,  an  increase  in  the  loss  amounts 
attributable to such claims could expose Arcosa to uninsured damages if Arcosa were unable or elected not to insure against 
certain  claims  because  of  high  premiums  or  other  reasons.  While  Arcosa’s  liability  and  property  insurance  coverage  is  at  or 

21

above levels based on commercial norms in Arcosa’s industries, an unusually large liability claim, property loss claim, business 
interruption  claim,  or  a  string  of  claims  coupled  with  an  unusually  large  damage  award  could  exceed  Arcosa’s  available 
insurance  coverage.  In  addition,  the  availability  of,  and  Arcosa’s  ability  to  collect  on,  insurance  coverage  is  often  subject  to 
factors  beyond  Arcosa’s  control,  including  positions  on  policy  coverage  taken  by  insurers.  If  any  of  Arcosa’s  third-party 
insurers  fail,  cancel,  refuse  coverage,  or  otherwise  are  unable  to  provide  Arcosa  with  adequate  insurance  coverage,  then 
Arcosa’s risk exposure and Arcosa’s operational expenses may increase and the management of its business operations would 
be  disrupted.  Moreover,  any  accident  or  incident  involving  Arcosa’s  businesses  in  general  or  Arcosa  or  Arcosa’s  products 
specifically, even if Arcosa is fully insured, contractually indemnified, or not held to be liable, could negatively affect Arcosa’s 
reputation  among  customers  and  the  public,  thereby  making  it  more  difficult  for  Arcosa  to  compete  effectively,  and  could 
significantly affect the cost and availability of insurance in the future.

Arcosa’s inability to produce and disseminate relevant and/or reliable data and information pertaining to Arcosa’s business 
in an efficient, cost-effective, secure, and well-controlled fashion may have significant negative impacts on confidentiality 
requirements and obligations and trade secret or other proprietary needs and expectations and, therefore, Arcosa’s future 
operations, profitability, and competitive position.

Arcosa  relies  on  information  technology  infrastructure  and  architecture,  including  hardware,  network  including  the  cloud, 
software,  people,  and  processes  to  provide  useful  and  confidential  information  to  conduct  Arcosa’s  business  in  the  ordinary 
course,  including  correspondence  and  commercial  data  and  information  interchange  with  customers,  suppliers,  legal  counsel, 
governmental agencies, and consultants and to support assessments and conclusions about future plans and initiatives pertaining 
to  market  demands,  operating  performance,  and  competitive  positioning.  Any  material  failure,  interruption  of  service, 
compromised data security, or cybersecurity threat could adversely affect Arcosa’s relations with suppliers and customers, place 
Arcosa in violation of confidentiality and data protection laws, rules, and regulations, and result in negative impacts to Arcosa’s 
market share, operations, and profitability. Arcosa will have to continually upgrade its infrastructure and applications, to reduce 
the  risk  of  such  material  failures,  interruptions,  or  security  breaches.  Security  breaches  in  Arcosa’s  information  technology 
could  result  in  theft,  destruction,  loss,  misappropriation,  or  release  of  confidential  data,  trade  secrets,  or  other  proprietary  or 
intellectual property that could adversely impact Arcosa’s future results.

Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt our business and result in the compromise of confidential information.

Our business is at risk from and may be impacted by information security incidents, including attempts to gain unauthorized 
access to our confidential data, ransomware, malware, phishing emails, and other electronic security events. Such incidents can 
range  from  individual  attempts  to  gain  unauthorized  access  to  our  information  technology  systems  to  more  sophisticated 
security threats. They can also result from internal compromises, such as human error, or malicious acts. While we employ a 
number  of  measures  to  prevent,  detect,  and  mitigate  these  threats,  there  is  no  guarantee  such  efforts  will  be  successful  in 
preventing  a  cyber  event.  This  is  especially  true  due  to  the  increased  use  of  remote  working  locations  by  certain  of  our 
employees  due  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic  and  the  potential  increased  cybersecurity  vulnerability  of  such  remote  work 
locations.  Arcosa  will  have  to  continually  upgrade  its  network  infrastructure  to  reduce  the  risk  of  such  cyber  events. 
Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt our business and compromise confidential information belonging to us and third parties.

Repercussions from terrorist activities or armed conflict could harm Arcosa’s business.

Terrorist  activities,  anti-terrorist  efforts,  and  other  armed  conflict  involving  the  U.S.  or  its  interests  abroad  may  adversely 
affect  the  U.S.  and  global  economies,  potentially  preventing  Arcosa  from  meeting  its  financial  and  other  obligations.  In 
particular, the negative impacts of these events may affect the industries in which Arcosa operates. This could result in delays in 
or  cancellations  of  the  purchase  of  Arcosa’s  products  or  shortages  in  raw  materials,  parts,  or  components.  Any  of  these 
occurrences  could  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  Arcosa’s  business,  liquidity  and  financial  condition,  and  results  of 
operations.

Arcosa’s inability to sufficiently protect Arcosa’s intellectual property rights could adversely affect Arcosa’s business.

Arcosa’s  patents,  copyrights,  trademarks,  trade  secrets,  and  other  intellectual  property  rights  are  important  to  Arcosa’s 
success.  Arcosa  relies  on  patent,  copyright,  and  trademark  law,  and  trade  secret  protection  and  confidentiality  and/or  license 
agreements with others to protect Arcosa’s intellectual property rights. Arcosa’s trademarks, service marks, copyrights, patents, 
and  trade  secrets  may  be  exposed  to  market  confusion,  commercial  abuse,  infringement,  or  misappropriation  and  possibly 
challenged, invalidated, circumvented, narrowed, or declared unenforceable by countries where Arcosa’s products and services 
are made available, including countries where the laws may not protect Arcosa’s intellectual property rights as fully as in the 
U.S.  Such  instances  could  negatively  impact  Arcosa’s  competitive  position  and  adversely  affect  Arcosa’s  business. 
Additionally, Arcosa could be required to incur significant expenses to protect its intellectual property rights.

Arcosa’s ESG efforts may not be received favorably by our stockholders and others which could cause an adverse effect 

on Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and stock price.

   Arcosa has been proactive in integrating its ESG initiatives into its long-term strategy. The subjective nature and wide variety 
of frameworks and methods used by our stockholders and others to assess Arcosa’s ESG strategy and progress could result in a 

22

negative  perception  or  misrepresentation  of  Arcosa’s  ESG  goals  and  progress.  Arcosa’s  inability  to  achieve  satisfactory 
progress  on  its  ESG  initiatives  on  a  timely  basis,  or  at  all,  or  to  meet  the  ESG  criteria  of  our  stockholders  and  others  could 
adversely affect Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and stock price.

Risks Related to Arcosa Common Stock.

Arcosa’s stock price may fluctuate significantly.

We cannot predict the prices at which shares of Arcosa common stock may trade. The trading and market price of Arcosa 
common  stock  may  fluctuate  significantly  due  to  a  number  of  factors,  some  of  which  may  be  beyond  Arcosa’s  control, 
including:

•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Arcosa’s quarterly or annual earnings, or those of other companies in its industry; 
actual or anticipated fluctuations in Arcosa’s operating results; 
changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts or Arcosa’s ability to meet those estimates; 
Arcosa’s ability to meet its forward looking guidance; 
the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies; 
overall market fluctuations and domestic and worldwide economic conditions; and 
other factors described in these “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Stock  markets  in  general  have  experienced  volatility  that  has  often  been  unrelated  to  the  operating  performance  of  a 
particular  company.  Broad  market  and  industry  factors  may  materially  harm  the  market  price  of  Arcosa’s  common  stock, 
regardless of Arcosa’s operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s 
securities, shareholder derivative lawsuits and/or securities class action litigation has often been instituted against that company. 
Such  litigation,  if  instituted  against  us,  could  result  in  substantial  costs  and  a  diversion  of  management’s  attention  and 
resources.

In addition, investors may have difficulty accurately valuing Arcosa common stock. Investors often value companies based 
on the stock prices and results of operations of other comparable companies. Investors may find it difficult to find comparable 
companies  and  to  accurately  value  Arcosa  common  stock,  which  may  cause  the  trading  price  of  Arcosa  common  stock  to 
fluctuate.

Future sales by us or our existing stockholders may cause our stock price to decline.

Any transfer or sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market or the perception that such transfer or 
sales might occur may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, particularly when our trading volumes are low. 
As  of  January  15,  2021,  we  had  a  total  of  48.2  million  shares  of  our  common  stock  issued  and  outstanding.  The  sales  of 
significant  amounts  of  shares  of  our  common  stock  or  the  perception  in  the  market  that  this  could  occur  may  result  in  the 
lowering of the market price of our common stock.

Arcosa cannot guarantee the timing, amount, or payment of dividends on its common stock.

The  timing,  declaration,  amount,  and  payment  of  future  dividends  to  Arcosa’s  stockholders  falls  within  the  discretion  of 
Arcosa’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors’ decisions regarding the payment of future dividends will depend on many 
factors, such as Arcosa’s financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, covenants related to our 
debt  service  obligations,  industry  practice,  legal  requirements,  regulatory  constraints,  and  other  factors  that  the  Board  of 
Directors  deems  relevant.  Arcosa’s  ability  to  pay  future  dividends  will  depend  on  its  ongoing  ability  to  generate  cash  from 
operations and access to the capital markets. Arcosa cannot guarantee that it will continue to pay any dividend in the future.

Stockholders’ percentage of ownership in Arcosa may be diluted in the future.

Stockholders’ percentage ownership in Arcosa may be diluted because of equity issuances for acquisitions, capital market 
transactions,  or  otherwise,  including,  without  limitation,  equity  awards  that  Arcosa  grants  to  its  directors,  officers,  and 
employees.

In  addition,  Arcosa’s  restated  certificate  of  incorporation  authorizes  Arcosa  to  issue,  without  the  approval  of  Arcosa’s 
stockholders,  one  or  more  classes  or  series  of  preferred  stock  having  such  designation,  powers,  preferences,  and  relative, 
participating,  optional,  and  other  special  rights,  including  preferences  over  Arcosa  common  stock  respecting  dividends  and 
distributions, as Arcosa’s Board of Directors generally may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred 
stock could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of Arcosa common stock. For example, Arcosa could grant the holders 
of preferred stock the right to elect some number of Arcosa’s directors in all events or on the happening of specified events or 
to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences Arcosa could assign to 
holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of Arcosa common stock.

Certain provisions in Arcosa’s restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, and of Delaware law, 
may prevent or delay an acquisition of Arcosa, which could decrease the trading price of the common stock.

23

Arcosa’s  restated  certificate  of  incorporation,  amended  and  restated  bylaws  and  Delaware  law  contain  provisions  that  are 
intended  to  deter  coercive  takeover  practices  and  inadequate  takeover  bids  by  making  such  practices  or  bids  unacceptably 
expensive  to  the  bidder  and  to  encourage  prospective  acquirers  to  negotiate  with  Arcosa’s  Board  of  Directors  rather  than  to 
attempt a hostile takeover.

In addition, Arcosa is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 provides that, subject to limited exceptions, persons 
that (without prior board approval) acquire, or are affiliated with a person that acquires, more than 15 percent of the outstanding 
voting  stock  of  a  Delaware  corporation  shall  not  engage  in  any  business  combination  with  that  corporation,  including  by 
merger, consolidation or acquisitions of additional shares, for a three-year period following the date on which that person or its 
affiliate becomes the holder of more than 15 percent of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock.

Arcosa believes these provisions will protect its stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics by requiring 
potential acquirers to negotiate with Arcosa’s Board of Directors and by providing Arcosa’s Board of Directors with more time 
to assess any acquisition proposal. These provisions are not intended to make Arcosa immune from takeovers. However, these 
provisions  will  apply  even  if  the  offer  may  be  considered  beneficial  by  some  stockholders  and  could  delay  or  prevent  an 
acquisition  that  Arcosa’s  Board  of  Directors  determines  is  not  in  the  best  interests  of  Arcosa  and  its  stockholders.  These 
provisions may also prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors.

In addition, an acquisition or further issuance of Arcosa’s stock could trigger the application of Section 355(e) of the Code. 
Under the tax matters agreement, Arcosa would be required to indemnify Trinity for the tax imposed under Section 355(e) of 
the Code resulting from an acquisition or issuance of Arcosa stock, even if Arcosa did not participate in or otherwise facilitate 
the  acquisition,  and  this  indemnity  obligation  might  discourage,  delay,  or  prevent  a  change  of  control  that  stockholders  may 
consider favorable.

Arcosa's  restated  certificate  of  incorporation  and  bylaws  contain  exclusive  forum  provisions  that  could  limit  an  Arcosa 
stockholder’s  ability  to  choose  a  judicial  forum  that  it  finds  favorable  for  certain  disputes  with  Arcosa  or  its  directors, 
officers, stockholders, employees, or agents, and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims.

Arcosa’s restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that unless the Board of Directors otherwise determines, the 
Court  of  Chancery  of  the  State  of  Delaware  will  be  the  sole  and  exclusive  forum  for  (i)  any  derivative  action  or  proceeding 
brought  on  behalf  of  Arcosa,  (ii)  any  action  asserting  a  claim  of  breach  of  a  fiduciary  duty  owed  by  any  director,  officer, 
stockholder, employee, or agent of Arcosa to Arcosa or Arcosa’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against Arcosa 
or any director, officer, stockholder, employee, or agent of Arcosa arising out of or relating to any provision of the DGCL or 
Arcosa’s  restated  certificate  of  incorporation  or  bylaws,  or  (iv)  any  action  asserting  a  claim  against  Arcosa  or  any  director, 
officer,  stockholder,  employee  or  agent  of  Arcosa  governed  by  the  internal  affairs  doctrine,  in  all  cases  subject  to  the  court 
having subject matter jurisdiction and personal jurisdiction over an indispensable party named as a defendant. These exclusive 
forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for such disputes 
and may discourage these types of lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find the exclusive forum provisions inapplicable to, 
or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, Arcosa may incur additional costs 
associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions.

Risks Related to the Separation.

Trinity may fail to perform under various transaction agreements that were executed as part of the Separation.

The  separation  and  distribution  agreement  and  other  agreements,  including  certain  supply  agreements,  entered  into  in 
connection  with  the  Separation  included  indemnifications  related  to  liabilities  and  obligations  as  well  as  performance 
obligations  by  Trinity  under  the  supply  agreements.  Arcosa  is  relying  on  Trinity  to  satisfy  its  performance  and  payment 
obligations under these agreements. However, third parties could also seek to hold Arcosa responsible for liabilities that Trinity 
has agreed to retain, and there can be no assurance that the indemnity from Trinity will be sufficient to protect Arcosa against 
the  full  amount  of  such  liabilities,  or  that  Trinity  will  be  able  to  fully  satisfy  its  indemnification  obligations.  In  addition, 
Trinity’s  insurers  may  attempt  to  deny  coverage  to  Arcosa  for  liabilities  associated  with  certain  occurrences  of  indemnified 
liabilities  prior  to  the  Separation.  If  Trinity  is  unable  to  satisfy  its  obligations  under  these  agreements,  including  its 
indemnification obligations and payment obligations, Arcosa could incur operational difficulties or losses.

Potential indemnification liabilities to Trinity pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement could materially and 

adversely affect Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, results of operations.

The separation and distribution agreement, among other things, provides for indemnification obligations designed to make 
Arcosa  financially  responsible  for  certain  liabilities  that  may  exist  relating  to  its  business  activities.  If  Arcosa  is  required  to 
indemnify  Trinity  under  the  circumstances  set  forth  in  the  separation  and  distribution  agreement,  Arcosa  may  be  subject  to 
substantial liabilities.

Arcosa may be subject to certain contingent liabilities of Trinity following the Separation.

24

There  is  the  possibility  that  certain  liabilities  of  Trinity  could  become  Arcosa’s  obligations.  For  example,  under    the  U.S. 
Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as  amended  (the  “Code”)  and  the  related  rules  and  regulations,  each  corporation  that  was  a 
member of the Trinity U.S. consolidated group during a taxable period or portion of a taxable period ending on or before the 
effective time of the distribution is jointly and severally liable for the U.S. federal income tax liability of the entire Trinity U.S. 
consolidated group for that taxable period. Consequently, if Trinity is unable to pay the consolidated U.S. federal income tax 
liability  for  a  prior  period,  Arcosa  could  be  required  to  pay  the  entire  amount  of  such  tax  which  could  be  substantial  and  in 
excess  of  the  amount  allocated  to  it  under  the  tax  matters  agreement  between  it  and  Trinity.  Other  provisions  of  federal  law 
establish  similar  liability  for  other  matters,  including  laws  governing  tax-qualified  pension  plans  as  well  as  other  contingent 
liabilities.

If the distribution of shares of Arcosa, together with certain related transactions, does not qualify as a transaction that is 
generally  tax-free  for  U.S.  federal  income  tax  purposes,  Arcosa's  stockholders  in  the  distribution  and  Trinity  could  be 
subject  to  significant  tax  liability  and,  in  certain  circumstances,  Arcosa  could  be  required  to  indemnify  Trinity  for 
material taxes pursuant to indemnification obligations under the tax matters agreement.

Notwithstanding a private letter ruling from the IRS and the tax opinions Trinity received from its advisors, the IRS could 
determine that the distribution or any such related transaction is taxable if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, 
representations,  or  undertakings  are  not  correct  or  have  been  violated,  or  that  the  distribution  should  be  taxable  for  other 
reasons, including if the IRS were to disagree with the conclusions in the tax opinions that are not covered by the IRS ruling.

If the distribution is determined to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a stockholder of Trinity that has received 
shares of Arcosa common stock in the distribution would be treated as having received a distribution of property in an amount 
equal to the fair value of such Arcosa shares on the distribution date and could incur significant income tax liabilities.

Under the tax matters agreement between Trinity and Arcosa, Arcosa may be required to indemnify Trinity against any taxes 
imposed  on  Trinity  that  arise  from  the  failure  of  the  distribution  to  qualify  as  tax-free  for  U.S.  federal  income  tax  purposes 
within the meaning of Section 355 of the Code or the failure of certain related transactions to qualify for tax-free treatment, to 
the extent such failure to qualify is attributable to actions, events or transactions relating to Arcosa’s stock, assets or business or 
any  breach  of  Arcosa’s  representations,  covenants  or  obligations  under  the  tax  matters  agreement  (or  any  other  agreement 
Arcosa enters into in connection with the separation and distribution), the materials submitted to the IRS in connection with the 
request for the IRS ruling or the representation letters provided by Arcosa in connection with the tax opinions. Events triggering 
an indemnification obligation under the tax matters agreement include events occurring after the distribution that cause Trinity 
to recognize a gain under Section 355(e) of the Code. Such tax amounts could be significant, and Arcosa’s obligations under the 
tax matters agreement will not be limited by amount or subject to any cap. If Arcosa is required to indemnify Trinity under the 
circumstances  set  forth  above  or  otherwise  under  the  tax  matters  agreement,  Arcosa  may  be  subject  to  substantial  liabilities, 
which could materially adversely affect its financial position.

General Risk Factors. 

Arcosa may be adversely affected by trade policies and practices, including trade practices of competitors that violate U.S. or 
other foreign laws, regulations, or practices.

Arcosa faces competition from manufacturers both in the U.S. and around the world, some of which may engage in competition 
and  trade  practices  involving  the  importation  of  competing  products  into  the  U.S.  in  violation  of  U.S.  or  other  foreign  laws, 
regulations,  or  practices.  For  example,  Arcosa’s  competitors  import  competing  products  that  are  subsidized  by  foreign 
governments and sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. The results of trade negotiations, trade agreements, and tariffs could 
also negatively affect Arcosa’s supplies, cost of goods sold, and customers. These trade policies and practices could increase 
pricing  pressure  on  Arcosa’s  products,  reduce  Arcosa’s  revenues  and  operating  profits,  limit  Arcosa’s  ability  to  grow,  and 
otherwise adversely affect Arcosa’s financial results.

Arcosa’s access to capital may be limited or unavailable due to deterioration of conditions in the global capital markets and/
or weakening of macroeconomic conditions.

In general, Arcosa may rely upon banks and capital markets to fund its growth strategy. These markets can experience high 
levels of volatility and access to capital can be constrained for extended periods of time. In addition to conditions in the capital 
markets, a number of other factors could cause Arcosa to incur increased borrowing costs and have greater difficulty accessing 
public  and  private  markets  for  both  secured  and  unsecured  debt,  which  factors  include  Arcosa’s  financial  performance.  If 
Arcosa  is  unable  to  secure  financing  on  acceptable  terms,  Arcosa’s  other  sources  of  funds,  including  available  cash,  its 
committed  bank  facility,  and  cash  flow  from  operations  may  not  be  adequate  to  fund  its  operations  and  contractual 
commitments and refinance existing debt.

Employment  related  lawsuits  could  be  brought  against  us,  which  could  be  expensive,  time  consuming,  and  result  in 
substantial damages to us.

Arcosa  may  become  subject  to  substantial  and  costly  litigation  by  its  former  and  current  employees  related  to  improper 
termination of employment, sexual harassment, hostile work environment, and other employment-related claims. Such claims 

25

could divert management’s attention from Arcosa’s core business, be expensive to defend, and result in sizable damage awards 
against  Arcosa.  Arcosa’s  current  insurance  coverage  is  limited  and  may  not  apply  or  may  not  be  sufficient  to  cover  these 
claims. Any employment related claims brought against Arcosa, with or without merit, could harm Arcosa’s reputation in the 
industry  and  reduce  product  sales.  Damages  assessed  against  Arcosa  could  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  Arcosa’s 
business, liquidity and financial condition, and operating results.

Arcosa may be required to reduce the value of Arcosa’s long-lived assets, including intangible assets, and/or goodwill, which 
would weaken Arcosa’s financial results.

Arcosa periodically evaluates for potential impairment the carrying values of Arcosa’s long-lived assets, including intangible 
assets,  to  be  held  and  used.  The  carrying  value  of  a  long-lived  asset  to  be  held  and  used  is  considered  impaired  when  the 
carrying value is not recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows and the fair value of the asset is less than the carrying 
value.  Fair  value  is  determined  primarily  using  the  anticipated  cash  flows  discounted  at  a  rate  commensurate  with  the  risks 
involved or market quotes as available. Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined in a similar manner, 
except  that  fair  values  are  reduced  commensurate  with  the  estimated  cost  to  dispose  of  the  assets.  In  addition,  goodwill  is 
required to be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis whenever events or circumstances change indicating that 
the carrying amount of the goodwill might be impaired.

Certain non-cash impairments may result from a change in our strategic goals, business direction, changes in market interest 
rates, or other factors relating to the overall business environment. Any impairment of the value of goodwill or other intangible 
assets recorded in connection with previous acquisitions will result in a non-cash charge against earnings, which could have a 
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, shareholder’s equity, and/or share price.

Changes  in  accounting  policies  or  inaccurate  estimates  or  assumptions  in  the  application  of  accounting  policies  could 
adversely affect the reported value of Arcosa’s assets or liabilities and financial results.

Arcosa’s  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles 
(“GAAP”). The significant accounting policies, together with the other notes that follow, are an integral part of the financial 
statements. Some of these policies require the use of estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported value of Arcosa’s 
assets or liabilities and financial results and require management to make difficult, subjective, and complex judgments about 
matters that are inherently uncertain. Accounting standard setters and those who interpret the accounting standards (such as the 
Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC, and Arcosa’s independent registered public accounting firm) may amend or 
even reverse their previous interpretations or positions on how these standards should be applied. These changes can be difficult 
to predict and can materially impact how Arcosa records and reports its financial condition and results of operations. In some 
cases,  Arcosa  could  be  required  to  apply  a  new  or  revised  standard  retroactively,  resulting  in  the  restatement  of  prior  period 
financial  statements.  For  a  further  discussion  of  some  of  Arcosa’s  critical  accounting  policies  and  standards  and  recent 
accounting  changes,  see  “Item  7.  Management’s  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations-
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and Note 1 “Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the 
Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

Litigated disputes and other claims could increase Arcosa’s costs and weaken Arcosa’s liquidity and financial condition.

Arcosa is currently, and may from time to time be, involved in various claims or legal proceedings arising out of Arcosa’s 
operations.  Adverse  judgments  and  outcomes  in  some  or  all  of  these  matters  could  result  in  significant  losses  and  costs  that 
could weaken Arcosa’s liquidity and financial condition. Although Arcosa maintains reserves for its probable and reasonably 
estimable  liability,  Arcosa’s  reserves  may  be  inadequate  to  cover  its  portion  of  claims  or  final  judgments  after  taking  into 
consideration rights in indemnity and recourse under insurance policies or to third parties as a result of which there could be a 
material adverse effect on Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations.

The use of social and other digital media (including websites, blogs and newsletters) (i) to disseminate false, misleading and/
or unreliable or inaccurate data and information about our Company or (ii) to demonstrate actions which reflect negatively 
on our Company and/or our employees could create unwarranted volatility in our stock price and losses to our stockholders 
and could adversely affect our reputation, products, business, and operating results. 

Investors may rely on social and other digital media to receive news, data, and information about the Company. Social and 
other digital media can be used by anyone to publish data and information without regard for factual accuracy. The use of social 
and  other  digital  media  to  publish  inaccurate,  offensive,  and  disparaging  data  and  information  may  influence  the  public’s 
inability to distinguish what is true and accurate and could obstruct an effective and timely response to correct inaccuracies or 
falsifications. Such use of social and other digital media could result (i) in unexpected and unsubstantiated claims concerning 
the Company in general or our products, our leadership, or our reputation among customers and the public at large or (ii) in the 
demonstration of action which reflects negatively on our Company and/or employees, and potentially having a material adverse 
effect on our business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations.

Mineral Reserves

In  our  Construction  Products  segment,  Arcosa,  through  its  subsidiaries,  operates  42  open  pit  quarries  in  11  states  as  of 
December  31,  2020,  including  29  that  produce  and  distribute  natural  aggregates  and  13  that  produce,  process,  and  distribute 
specialty materials, all of which we believe have adequate road and/or railroad access. Arcosa estimates proven and probable 
aggregate reserves based on the results of drill sampling and geological analysis. For a description of quarry locations, products, 
and customers, please refer to Item 1. “Business-Our Segments-Construction Products.”

Proven  reserves  are  those  for  which  the  quantity,  grade  and  quality  are  computed  from  dimensions  revealed  in  outcrops, 
trenches, workings or drill holes. The grade and quality of proven reserves are computed from results of detailed sampling, and 
the sampling and measurement data are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth 
and mineral content of reserves are well established. Probable reserves are those for which the quantity, grade and quality are 
computed from information similar to that used for proven reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are 
farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves, is 
high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.

The Company's estimated reserves include recoverable material excluding reserves not available due to property boundaries, 
set-backs,  and  plant  configurations.  Estimated  reserves  include  only  quantities  that  are  owned  in  fee  or  under  lease,  and  for 
which  all  appropriate  zoning  and  permitting  have  been  obtained.  The  Company's  reserve  estimation  processes  are  consistent 
across both its aggregates and specialty materials facilities. During the year ended December 31, 2020, no individual quarry or 
location  accounted  for  more  than  5%  of  Arcosa's  consolidated  revenues.  Substantially  all  of  our  materials  are  internally 
sourced.

In addition to the natural aggregates and specialty materials facilities included in the table above, we operated 12 recycled 

aggregates plants which are not dependent on reserves.

Natural aggregates

In 2020, due to a prolonged downturn in oil and gas markets and reduced drilling activity in Texas and Oklahoma, we exited 
leased and owned properties in the Eagleford, Permian, and STACK basins of these states. These changes resulted in a decline 
of  approximately  40  million  tons  of  estimated  reserves.  We  also  lowered  our  estimate  of  the  future  usage  of  certain  leased 
properties in these basins, which reduced our reserves by an additional 30 million tons.

Additionally, in 2020, we completed the acquisition of Cherry Industries in Houston, Texas. One of Cherry’s primary product 
lines is stabilized sand, which is a mixture of sand and cement. The reserve life of stabilized sand locations tends to be lower 
than traditional sand and gravel mines. At the time of acquisition, Cherry’s reserve life was less than ten years, which reduced 
the  average  life  of  reserves  in  our  natural  aggregates  platform.  We  plan  to  strategically  invest  approximately  $5-10  million 
annually to increase the reserve life of our Cherry platform. 

We estimate that our reserves have an average life of over thirty years in our legacy Northern Texas markets.

Production of natural aggregates increased approximately 50% from 2019 to 2020, with the addition of Cherry, several bolt-

on acquisitions, and healthy improvement in our legacy businesses, partially offset by weakness in oil and gas markets. 

Specialty materials

The reserve life in our specialty materials businesses remained over ninety years. Our current estimates of the future usage of 

leased reserves reduced our total proven and probable tons, but the average life remains above ninety years. 

Production  of  specialty  materials  was  approximately  16%  lower  in  2020  than  2019  due  to  COVID-related  softness  in  our 

lightweight aggregates and plaster product lines, but the long-term fundamentals for these products remain healthy.

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Shares  of  our  common  stock  are  listed  on  the  New  York  Stock  Exchange  under  the  ticker  symbol  “ACA,”  which  began 
“regular-way” trading on November 1, 2018 immediately following the Separation. Our transfer agent and registrar is American 
Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Holders

At December 31, 2020, we had 1,304 record holders of common stock. Because many of our shares are held by brokers and 
other  institutions  on  behalf  of  stockholders,  we  are  unable  to  estimate  the  total  number  of  stockholders  represented  by  these 
recordholders.

Our  MD&A  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  our  Consolidated  and  Combined  Financial  Statements  and  related  Notes  in 
Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Company Overview

Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, (“Arcosa,” “Company,” “we,” or “our”) headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a 
provider  of  infrastructure-related  products  and  solutions  with  leading  brands  serving  construction,  engineered  structures,  and 
transportation markets in North America. Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2018 in connection with 
the separation (the “Separation”) of Arcosa from Trinity Industries, Inc. (“Trinity” or “Former Parent”) on November 1, 2018 
as an independent, publicly-traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange. 

Basis of Historical Presentation

The  accompanying  Consolidated  and  Combined  Financial  Statements  present  our  historical  financial  position,  results  of 
operations, comprehensive income/loss, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 
(“GAAP”).  The  combined  financial  statements  for  periods  prior  to  the  Separation  were  derived  from  Trinity’s  consolidated 
financial statements and accounting records and prepared in accordance with GAAP for the preparation of carved-out combined 
financial  statements.  Through  the  date  of  the  Separation,  all  revenues  and  costs  as  well  as  assets  and  liabilities  directly 
associated with Arcosa have been included in the combined financial statements. Prior to the Separation, the combined financial 
statements also included allocations of certain selling, general, and administrative expenses provided by Trinity to Arcosa and 
allocations of related assets, liabilities, and the Former Parent’s net investment, as applicable. The allocations were determined 
on a reasonable basis; however, the amounts are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in 
the financial statements had the Company been an entity that operated independently of Trinity during the applicable periods. 
Related  party  allocations  prior  to  the  Separation,  including  the  method  for  such  allocation,  are  described  further  in  Note  1, 
“Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. 

Following  the  Separation,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  Arcosa  and  those  of  our  wholly-

owned subsidiaries and no longer include any allocations from Trinity.

We  have  renamed  our  Engineered  Structures  segment,  previously  named  Energy  Equipment,  as  of  December  31,  2020  to 
better  reflect  the  products  delivered.  There  have  been  no  changes  to  the  businesses  that  have  historically  comprised  this 
segment.

Potential Impact of COVID-19 On Our Business

Our highest priority is the health and safety of our employees and communities. Our businesses support critical infrastructure 
sectors, pursuant to the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency standards. Our 
plants  have  continued  to  operate  throughout  the  COVID-19  crisis.  However,  as  of  the  date  of  this  filing,  uncertainty  exists 
concerning  the  potential  magnitude  of  the  impact  and  duration  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic.  The  following  possible  events 
related to the COVID-19 pandemic may potentially adversely impact our business, liquidity and financial condition, or results 
of operations: customer demand for our products and services may decrease; reductions in our customers' capex spending; our 
supply  chain  may  have  disruption  preventing  us  from  obtaining  the  necessary  materials  and  equipment  to  manufacture  our 

31

products  and  provide  services;  our  employees’  ability  to  continue  to  work  may  be  impacted  because  of  COVID-19  related 
illness  or  local,  state,  or  federal  orders  requiring  them  to  stay  at  home;  the  effect  of  governmental  regulations  imposed  in 
response to the COVID-19 pandemic may result in shutdowns of our operations; limitations on the ability of our customers to 
conduct  their  business  and  purchase  our  products  and  services;  disruptions  to  our  customers’  supply  chains  or  purchasing 
patterns; and limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis.

We  believe  that,  based  on  the  various  standards  published  to  date,  our  employees  are  part  of  the  Essential  Critical 
Infrastructure  Workforce,  and  the  work  they  perform  is  critical,  essential,  and  life-sustaining.  We  will  continue  to  actively 
monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local 
authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders.

In  addition  to  the  extensive  health  and  safety  protocols  already  in  place  across  our  plants,  we  estimate  that  we  incurred 
$4.0-5.0 million of incremental costs related to COVID-19 during the year ended December 31, 2020 for personal protective 
equipment, health screenings, deep cleaning services, and facilities re-configurations. We do not anticipate that the enhanced 
health and safety protocols will have a material impact on the productivity of our plants.

The preparation of the Company's Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements requires management to make estimates 
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the 
date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. At this 
time, we have not observed any material impairments of our assets or a significant change in the fair value of assets due to the 
COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to the factors discussed above, we are unable to determine or predict the overall impact the 
COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.

Market Outlook

• Within  our  Construction  Products  segment,  we  have  experienced  better  than  anticipated  construction  demand  since  the 
outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March as construction activity in Texas has remained resilient and other states have 
reopened for business. However, we did experience a softening of demand for our specialty materials and shoring products 
businesses following the outbreak that has recently shown signs of improvement but remains below pre-pandemic levels. The 
outlook for public and private construction activity has improved as expectations for U.S. economic growth have increased 
following the roll-out of vaccines and associated re-opening of the economy, but the environment continues to be uncertain.  
Our  Construction  Products  segment  has  the  largest  exposure  to  Texas,  where  construction  demand  is  expected  to  be  more 
favorable than national averages.

• Within  our  Engineered  Structures  segment,  our  backlog  as  of  December  31,  2020  provides  a  healthy  level  of  production 
visibility for 2021, but at a lower level than at the beginning of 2020. Our customers remain committed to taking delivery of 
these  orders.  In  utility  structures,  order  and  inquiry  activity  continues  to  be  strong,  as  customers  remain  focused  on  grid 
hardening  and  reliability  initiatives.  We  continue  to  actively  work  with  our  wind  tower  customers  on  new  order  inquiries; 
however, we expect a lower level of wind tower production in 2021 as the wind industry continues to transition from 100% 
PTC support. In 2021, we will benefit from a full-year of revenues from the newly acquired traffic and telecom structures 
businesses, where demand conditions are very favorable. Order and inquiry activity in the storage tank business has improved 
since the onset of COVID-19 after taking a pause initially, as certain customers deferred new tank installations.

• Within our Transportation Products segment, our backlog for inland barges as of December 31, 2020 provides a base level of 
production visibility for 2021, but at a significantly lower level than we had at the beginning of 2020. Our customers remain 
committed to taking delivery of these orders. Barge order levels fell sharply in the second and third quarters of 2020, as barge 
utilization declined from the COVID-19 related economic slowdown. Lower demand for refined products, including gasoline 
and jet fuel, and low, but increasing, oil prices negatively impacted order quantities for liquid barges in 2020 and inquiries 
remain very low thus far in 2021. On a more positive note, the underlying fundamentals for a dry barge replacement cycle 
remain  in  place,  and  we  received  a  higher  level  of  orders  in  the  fourth  quarter,  consistent  with  pre-pandemic  demand.  
However, a sharp acceleration in steel prices occurring at the end of 2020 has negatively impacted the near-term outlook for 
hopper  demand.  We  have  reduced  our  capacity  in  all  three  barge  operating  plants  to  align  with  lower  production  levels  in 
2021,  while  remaining  flexible  to  allow  time  for  fundamentals  to  recover.  We  are  evaluating  additional  cost  reduction 
alternatives and if demand does not improve in the near term, we will take additional actions to reduce our cost structure. 
Demand for steel components continues to decline as the outlook for the North American rail transportation market, which 
was softening pre-COVID-19, remains uncertain.

The February 2021 winter storm in Texas and the broader Southern United States will impact our Q1 performance, as we lost 
more than one week of production across a significant part of our operating footprint. As of the date of this release, we have 
restored operations in most of our facilities but may experience continuing impacts in our supply chain, particularly for steel 
mill production that was impacted by the storm.

Financial Operations and Highlights

Executive Overview

• Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 increased 11.4% to $1.9 billion compared to the year ended December 31, 
2019 primarily due to the impact of the Cherry acquisition in our Construction Products segment, higher unit volumes in our 
Engineered Structures segment, and increased hopper barge deliveries in our Transportation Products segment.

• Operating  profit  for  year  ended  December  31,  2020  of  $151.8  million  was  flat  compared  to  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2019 as increased operating profit in the Construction Product and Transportation Products segments were offset by increased 
costs in the Engineered Structures segment and corporate.

• Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 24.3% for the year ended December 31, 2020, when compared to 
the prior year largely due to additional costs from the acquired Cherry business and other current year acquisitions, as well as 
increased corporate costs.

• The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 was 22.9% compared to 22.8% for the year ended December 31, 

2019. See Note 10, “Income Taxes” to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

• Net  income  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020  was  $106.6  million  compared  with  $113.3  million  for  the  year  ended 

December 31, 2019.

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations (Backlog)

2019 versus 2018

• Our operating profit increased 61.1%. 

• Operating  profit  in  the  Construction  Products  segment  increased  4.6%  primarily  due  to  higher  volumes  from  the  acquired 

ACG business.

• Operating profit in our Engineered Structures segment increased significantly due to higher unit volumes in wind towers and 
higher  pricing  levels  in  utility  structures  as  well  as  the  elimination  of  operating  losses  from,  and  the  incurrence  of  an 
impairment charge related to, businesses divested in 2018. 

• Operating  profit  in  our  Transportation  Products  segment  decreased  3.3%  primarily  due  to  reduced  volumes  and  lower 
contractual pricing for steel components as well as start-up costs incurred toward the re-opening of a previously idled barge 
facility, partially offset by higher tank barge volumes.

• Other, net expense due to foreign currency exchange transactions increased by $2.1 million primarily driven by the volatility 
in the U.S. dollar to Mexican peso exchange rate throughout 2020. This incremental expense resulted in a foreign income tax 
benefit, which had a favorable impact on our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Income Taxes

The  income  tax  provision  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2020,  2019,  and  2018  was  $31.6  million,  $33.5  million,  and 
$19.3 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 was 22.9%, 22.8%, 
and  20.3%,  respectively.  The  effective  tax  rates  differ  from  the  federal  tax  rate  of  21.0%  due  to  the  impact  of  state  income 
taxes, excess tax benefits related to equity compensation, and the impact of foreign tax benefits. 

In  response  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  on  March  27,  2020  the  U.S.  Congress  passed  the  Coronavirus  Aid,  Relief,  and 
Economic  Security  Act  (the  “CARES  Act”),  which  includes  certain  tax  relief  and  benefits  that  may  impact  the  Company. 
Approximately $15 million of federal and state income tax payments deferred during the first half of the year were paid during 
the  third  quarter  of  2020.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  has  deferred  $9.7  million  in  payroll-related  taxes  in 
accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act. We expect to pay $4.9 million during the year ending December 31, 2021, 
with the remainder to be paid during 2022.

• Revenues increased 35.0%, driven by the acquisition of Cherry, which increased segment revenues by approximately 40%. 
This was partially offset by a decrease of 14.4% in revenues in our trench shoring business as a result of lower volumes as 
customers  reduced  capital  expenditures  during  the  COVID-19  crisis.  In  our  legacy  aggregates  and  specialty  materials 
businesses, revenues were mostly flat as reduced volumes in plants serving oil and gas markets and from COVID-19 related 
construction delays were mostly offset by increased aggregates volumes serving other markets. 

• Cost  of  revenues  increased  31.4%,  primarily  due  to  higher  volumes  from  the  acquired  Cherry  business.  As  a  percent  of 

revenues, cost of revenues decreased to 75.8% compared to 77.8%.

• Selling,  general,  and  administrative  expenses  increased  52.7%  primarily  due  to  additional  costs  from  the  acquired  Cherry 

business. Selling, general, and administrative costs in the legacy businesses were lower than the previous period.

• Operating profit increased by 41.7%, outpacing the increase in revenues.

• Depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense increased primarily due to the acquired Cherry business.

2019 versus 2018 

• Revenues  increased  50.4%,  driven  by  the  acquisition  of  ACG  Materials  (“ACG”),  which  increased  revenues  by 
approximately 50%. In our legacy aggregates and specialty materials businesses, increased volumes were substantially offset 
by lower average selling prices, largely in our natural aggregates business in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas market area.

• Operating profit increased primarily due to the acquired ACG business. Operating margin decreased reflecting the change in 
product  mix  as  a  result  of  the  addition  of  the  ACG  business,  which  has  lower  margins  than  the  segment,  as  well  as  lower 
average selling prices in the legacy natural aggregates business.

• Revenues  increased  4.9%  driven  primarily  by  higher  volumes  in  utility  structures  and  sales  from  our  acquired  traffic  and 
telecom structures businesses, partially offset by lower steel prices in utility structures and reduced volumes and pricing in 
our  wind  towers  and  storage  tank  businesses.  The  lower  volumes  in  our  wind  towers  business  was  partially  due  to  a 
temporary idling of one of our facilities in the fourth quarter to invest in a planned product changeover.

• Cost of revenues increased 7.6% driven by the acquired traffic and telecom structures businesses, higher volumes in utility 
structures,  product  changeover  costs  in  wind  towers,  and  operational  challenges  in  our  utility  structures  business  primarily 
related to COVID-19. This increase was partially offset by lower volumes in our storage tank business. 

• Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 13.9% primarily due to additional costs from acquired businesses.

• Operating profit decreased by 20.4% primarily due to the temporary idling of a wind tower facility and operational challenges 

in our utility structures business related to COVID-19.

2019 versus 2018 

• Revenues  increased  7.2%,  driven  primarily  by  higher  unit  volumes  in  wind  towers  and  higher  pricing  levels  in  utility 
structures. Revenues from other product lines also increased due to higher volumes and pricing levels, partially offset by the 
elimination of revenues from businesses divested in 2018.

• Cost  of  revenues  increased  1.9%,  due  primarily  to  higher  overall  volumes.  The  increase  was  partially  offset  by  the 
elimination of costs from divested businesses, as well as a $6.1 million finished goods inventory write-off recognized in 2018 
related to an order for a single customer in our utility structures business. 

• Selling,  general,  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  6.7%  primarily  due  to  the  elimination  of  costs  from  divested 

businesses and a $2.9 million recovery of bad debt related to a single customer in our utility structures business.

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations (Backlog)

As of December 31, 2020, the backlog for utility, wind, and related structures was $334.0 million compared to $596.8 million 
as of December 31, 2019. Substantially all of our utility, wind, and related structures backlog is expected to be delivered during 
the year ending December 31, 2021. Future wind tower orders are subject to uncertainty as PTC eligibility for new wind farm 
projects  is  currently  in  a  phase-out  period  that  extends  until  2025.  Pricing  of  orders  and  individual  order  quantities  reflect  a 
market  transitioning  from  PTC  incentives.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  the  backlog  for  our  storage  tanks  in  our  Engineered 
Structures segment was $15.6 million, 94.0% of which is expected to be delivered during the year ending December 31, 2021.

• Revenues were substantially unchanged as higher barge revenues, driven by increased hopper deliveries, were offset by lower 

steel components revenues due to decreased deliveries and lower contractual pricing.

• Cost of revenues decreased by 3.2%, primarily due to lower steel component volumes and the elimination of $4.0 million of 
start-up costs incurred in the prior year related to the re-opening of a previously idled barge manufacturing plant. This was 
partially offset by higher hopper barge volumes. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues decreased to 82.4% compared 
to 85.2% in the prior year period primarily due to improved operating efficiencies in our barge business.

• Selling, general, and administrative expenses were substantially unchanged.

• The  segment  was  negatively  impacted  by  a  $5.0  million  non-cash  impairment  charge  primarily  related  to  unusable  non-

operating assets that were scrapped from a barge business acquired in 2018.

• Operating profit increased by 16.7%, outpacing the increase in revenues.

2019 versus 2018

• Revenues increased 19.0%, primarily driven by higher tank barge volumes but partially offset by lower contractual pricing 

and decreased volumes in steel components.

• Cost of revenues increased 23.8%, driven by higher tank barge volumes, partially offset by lower steel component volumes.  
Cost  of  revenues  also  increased  $2.6  million  due  to  start-up  costs  related  to  the  re-opening  of  a  previously  idled  barge 
manufacturing facility, which began delivering barges in the third quarter of 2019.

• Selling, general, and administrative expenses were substantially unchanged.

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations (Backlog)

As of December 31, 2020, the backlog for inland barges was $175.5 million compared to $346.9 million as of December 31, 

2019. All of the backlog for inland barges is expected to be delivered during the year ending December 31, 2021.

• Corporate  overhead  costs  increased  22.0%  primarily  due  to  higher  acquisition-related  transaction  and  integration  costs  of 
$4.6 million as well as a non-recurring increase in legal expenses of $2.5 million incurred during the third quarter of 2020.

2019 versus 2018

• Corporate  overhead  costs  increased  47.4%  primarily  due  to  incremental  standalone  costs  related  to  the  replacement  of 

services and fees previously provided or incurred by Trinity as well as other standalone public company costs.

• Corporate overhead costs prior to the Separation consist of costs not previously allocated to Trinity’s business units and have 
been allocated to Arcosa based on an analysis of each cost function and the relative benefits received by Arcosa for each of 
the periods using methods management believes are consistent and reasonable. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated and 
Combined Financial Statements for further information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Arcosa’s primary liquidity requirement consists of funding our business operations, including capital expenditures, working 
capital  investment,  and  disciplined  acquisitions.  Our  primary  sources  of  liquidity  include  cash  flow  from  operations,  our 
existing  cash  balance,  availability  under  the  revolving  credit  facility,  and,  as  necessary,  the  issuance  of  additional  long-term 
debt or equity. To the extent we have available liquidity, we may also consider undertaking new capital investment projects, 
executing additional strategic acquisitions, returning capital to stockholders, or funding other general corporate purposes.

Other Investing and Financing Activities

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 1, 2018, the Company entered into a $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to 
mature  in  November  2023.  On  January  2,  2020,  the  Company  entered  into  an  Amended  and  Restated  Credit  Agreement  to 
increase the revolving credit facility from $400.0 million to $500.0 million and add a term loan facility of $150.0 million, in 
each case with a maturity date of January 2, 2025. 

The interest rates under the revolving credit facility and term loan are variable based on LIBOR or an alternate base rate plus 
a margin. A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving facility. The margin for borrowing 
and  commitment  fee  rate  are  determined  based  on  Arcosa’s  leverage  as  measured  by  a  consolidated  total  indebtedness  to 
consolidated EBITDA ratio. The margin for borrowing ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% and was set at LIBOR plus 1.25% as of 
December 31, 2020. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.20% to 0.35% and was set at 0.20% at December 31, 2020. 

In  March  2020,  as  a  precautionary  measure,  the  Company  borrowed  $100.0  million  under  its  revolving  credit  facility  to 
increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility considering the uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. 
The Company subsequently repaid the $100.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, 
we had $100.0 million of outstanding loans borrowed under the facility and there were approximately $28.6 million in letters of 
credit issued, leaving $371.4 million available for borrowing. 

40

The entire term loan was advanced on January 2, 2020 in connection with the closing of the acquisition of Cherry.

The  Company's  revolving  credit  and  term  loan  facilities  require  the  maintenance  of  certain  ratios  related  to  leverage  and 
interest coverage. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. Borrowings under the 
credit agreement are guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

We believe, based on our current business plans, that our existing cash, available liquidity, and cash flow from operations 
will  be  sufficient  to  fund  necessary  capital  expenditures  and  operating  cash  requirements  for  the  foreseeable  future.  The 
Company  further  believes  that  its  financial  resources  will  allow  it  to  manage  the  anticipated  impact  of  COVID-19  on  the 
Company's business operations for the foreseeable future. The macroeconomic uncertainties posed by COVID-19 are evolving 
rapidly. Consequently, the Company will continue to evaluate its financial position in light of future developments, particularly 
those relating to COVID-19.

Repurchase Program

In  December  2020,  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  authorized  a  new  $50  million  share  repurchase  program  effective 
January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022. The new program replaced the previous program which expired on December 31, 
2020. Under the previous program, the Company repurchased 184,772 shares at a cost of $8.0 million during the year ended 
December 31, 2020. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2020, we had letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount 
of $28.6 million, of which $26.1 million are expected to expire in 2021, with the remainder in 2022. The majority of our letters 
of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year. See Note 
7 of the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

Derivative Instruments 

In December 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap instrument, effective as of January 2, 2019 and expiring in 
2023, to reduce the effect of changes in the variable interest rates associated with borrowings under the revolving credit facility.  
The  instrument  carried  an  initial  notional  amount  of  $100.0  million,  thereby  hedging  the  first  $100.0  million  of  borrowings 
under the credit facility. The instrument effectively fixes the LIBOR component of the credit facility borrowings at a monthly 
rate  of  2.71%.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  has  recorded  a  liability  of  $7.3  million  for  the  fair  value  of  the 
instrument,  all  of  which  is  recorded  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss.  See  Note  3  and  Note  7  of  the  Notes  to 
Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

We  have  a  stock-based  compensation  plan  for  our  directors,  officers,  and  employees.  See  Note  13  of  the  Notes  to 

Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

Employee Retirement Plans 

In 2020, we sponsored an employee savings plan under the 401(k) plan that covered substantially all employees and included 
a company matching contribution with the investment of the funds directed by the participants. The Company also contributed 
to  a  multiemployer  defined  benefit  pension  plan  under  the  terms  of  a  collective-bargaining  agreement  that  covered  certain 
union-represented  employees  at  one  of  our  facilities.  See  Note  11  of  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  and  Combined  Financial 
Statements.

As of December 31, 2020, we had the following contractual obligations and commercial commitments:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

MD&A  discusses  our  Consolidated  and  Combined  Financial  Statements,  which  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with 
accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make 
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities,  the  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and 
liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments based on historical experience and various other 
factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments 
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from 
these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We  believe  the  following  critical  accounting  policies,  among  others,  affect  our  more  significant  judgments  and  estimates 

used in the preparation of our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on the allocation of the transaction price in a contract to satisfied performance obligations. The 
transaction price does not include any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it 
satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description 
of  principal  activities  from  which  the  Company  generates  its  revenue,  separated  by  reportable  segments.  Payments  for  our 
products and services are generally due within normal commercial terms.

Construction Products

The  Construction  Products  segment  recognizes  substantially  all  revenue  when  the  customer  has  accepted  the  product  and 

legal title of the product has passed to the customer. 

Engineered Structures

Within  the  Engineered  Structures  segment,  revenue  is  recognized  for  our  wind  tower,  certain  utility  structure,  and  certain 
storage  tank  product  lines  over  time  as  the  products  are  manufactured  using  an  input  approach  based  on  the  costs  incurred 
relative  to  the  total  estimated  costs  of  production.  We  recognize  revenue  over  time  for  these  products  as  they  are  highly 
customized  to  the  needs  of  an  individual  customer  resulting  in  no  alternative  use  to  the  Company  if  not  purchased  by  the 
customer after the contract is executed, and we have the right to bill the customer for our work performed to date plus at least a 
reasonable profit margin for work performed. For all other products, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the 
product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.

Transportation Products

The Transportation Products segment recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the 

product has passed to the customer.

Inventory

Inventories  are  valued  at  the  lower  of  cost  or  net  realizable  value.  Our  policy  related  to  excess  and  obsolete  inventory 
requires an analysis of inventory at the business unit level on a quarterly basis and the recording of any required adjustments. In 
assessing  the  ultimate  realization  of  inventories,  we  are  required  to  make  judgments  as  to  future  demand  requirements  and 
compare  that  with  the  current  or  committed  inventory  levels.  It  is  possible  that  changes  in  required  inventory  reserves  may 
occur in the future due to then current market conditions.

Long-lived Assets

We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used for potential impairment. The carrying 
value of long-lived assets to be held and used is considered impaired only when the carrying value is not recoverable through 
undiscounted  future  cash  flows  and  the  fair  value  of  the  assets  is  less  than  their  carrying  value.  Fair  value  is  determined 
primarily  using  the  anticipated  cash  flows  discounted  at  a  rate  commensurate  with  the  risks  involved  or  market  quotes  as 
available. Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are 
reduced by the estimated cost to dispose of the assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually, or on an interim basis whenever events or circumstances change 
indicating that the carrying amount of the goodwill might be impaired. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is assessed at 
the “reporting unit” level by comparing the reporting unit's estimated fair value with the carrying amount of its net assets. If the 
carrying  value  of  the  reporting  unit  exceeds  its  fair  value,  an  impairment  loss  is  recognized.  The  goodwill  impairment  is 
measured as the excess of the reporting unit's carrying value over its fair value, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated 
to  the  reporting  unit.  The  estimates  and  judgments  that  most  significantly  affect  the  fair  value  calculations  are  assumptions, 

42

consisting of level three inputs, related to revenue and operating profit growth, discount rates, and exit multiples. Based on the 
Company's  annual  goodwill  impairment  test,  performed  at  the  reporting  unit  level  as  of  December  31,  2020,  the  Company 
concluded that no impairment charges were determined to be necessary and that none of the reporting units evaluated were at 
risk  of  failing  the  goodwill  impairment  test.  A  reporting  unit  is  considered  to  be  at  risk  if  its  estimated  fair  value  does  not 
exceed the carrying value of its net assets by 10% or more. See Note 1 and Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated and Combined 
Financial Statements.

Given  the  uncertainties  of  the  economy  and  its  potential  impact  on  our  businesses,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  our 
estimates  and  assumptions  regarding  the  fair  value  of  our  reporting  units,  made  for  the  purposes  of  the  long-lived  asset  and 
goodwill  impairment  tests,  will  prove  to  be  accurate  predictions  of  the  future.  If  our  assumptions  regarding  forecasted  cash 
flows are not achieved, it is possible that impairments of goodwill and long-lived assets may be required.

Warranties

The Company provides various express, limited product warranties that generally range from one to five years depending on 
the product. The warranty costs are estimated using a two-step approach. First, an engineering estimate is made for the cost of 
all claims that have been asserted by customers. Second, based on historical, accepted claims experience, a cost is accrued for 
all products still within a warranty period for which no claims have been filed. The Company provides for the estimated cost of 
product warranties at the time revenue is recognized related to products covered by warranties and assesses the adequacy of the 
resulting reserves on a quarterly basis.

Workers' Compensation

We are effectively self-insured for workers’ compensation claims. A third-party administrator processes all such claims. We 
accrue  our  workers’  compensation  liability  based  upon  independent  actuarial  studies.  To  the  extent  actuarial  assumptions 
change and claims experience rates differ from historical rates, our liability may change.

Contingencies and Litigation

The Company is involved in claims and lawsuits incidental to our business. Based on information currently available with 
respect to such claims and lawsuits, including information on claims and lawsuits as to which the Company is aware but for 
which the Company has not been served with legal process, it is management’s opinion that the ultimate outcome of all such 
claims and litigation, including settlements, in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial 
condition  for  purposes  of  financial  reporting.  However,  resolution  of  certain  claims  or  lawsuits  by  settlement  or  otherwise, 
could impact the operating results of the reporting period in which such resolution occurs.

Environmental

We are involved in various proceedings related to environmental matters. We have provided reserves to cover probable and 
estimable liabilities with respect to such proceedings, taking into account currently available information and our contractual 
recourse. However, estimates of future response costs are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we 
will not become involved in future environmental litigation or other proceedings or, if we were found to be responsible or liable 
in any litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to us.

Income Taxes

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognized  for  the  future  tax  consequences  attributable  to  temporary  differences 
between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and other tax 
attributes using currently enacted tax rates. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized 
in the provision for income taxes in the period that includes the enactment date. Management is required to estimate the timing 
of the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, make assumptions about the future deductibility of deferred tax assets, 
and  assess  deferred  tax  liabilities  based  on  enacted  law  and  tax  rates  for  the  appropriate  tax  jurisdictions  to  determine  the 
amount  of  such  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities.  Changes  in  the  calculated  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  may  occur  in 
certain circumstances including statutory income tax rate changes, statutory tax law changes, or changes in the structure or tax 
status  of  the  Company.  The  Company  assesses  whether  a  valuation  allowance  should  be  established  against  its  deferred  tax 
assets based on consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a more likely than not standard. This 
assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency, and severity of recent losses; a forecast of future profitability; 
the  duration  of  statutory  carryback  and  carryforward  periods;  the  Company’s  experience  with  tax  attributes  expiring  unused; 
and tax planning alternatives.

At December 31, 2020, the Company had $20.8 million federal consolidated net operating loss carryforwards, primarily from 
businesses acquired, and $0.9 million of tax-effected state loss carryforwards remaining. In addition, the Company had $52.5 
million of foreign net operating loss carryforwards that will begin to expire in the year 2022. We have established a valuation 
allowance for state and foreign tax operating losses and credits that we have estimated may not be realizable.

43

At  times,  we  may  claim  tax  benefits  that  may  be  challenged  by  a  tax  authority.  We  recognize  tax  benefits  only  for  tax 
positions more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the 
largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax 
benefits”  is  recorded  for  any  tax  benefits  claimed  in  our  tax  returns  that  do  not  meet  these  recognition  and  measurement 
standards.

The  Tax  Cuts  and  Jobs  Act  (“the  Act”)  was  enacted  on  December  22,  2017.  The  Act  reduced  the  U.S.  federal  corporate 
income  tax  rate  from  35%  to  21%,  required  companies  to  pay  a  one-time  transition  tax  on  earnings  of  certain  foreign 
subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred, and created new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. During the year ended 
December 31, 2018, we finalized the accounting for the enactment of the Act and recorded an additional $1.5 million benefit, 
primarily as a result of the true-up of our deferred taxes.

For  periods  prior  to  and  including  the  Separation,  income  taxes  as  presented  herein  attribute  current  and  deferred  income 
taxes of the Company's standalone financial statements in a manner that is systematic, rational, and consistent with the asset and 
liability method prescribed by the Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 — Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Accordingly, 
Arcosa’s  income  tax  provision  has  been  prepared  following  the  separate  return  method.  The  separate  return  method  applies 
ASC  740  to  the  standalone  financial  statements  of  each  member  of  the  consolidated  group  as  if  the  group  member  were  a 
separate  taxpayer  and  a  standalone  enterprise.  As  a  result,  actual  tax  transactions  included  in  the  consolidated  financial 
statements of Trinity may not be included in the separate financial statements of Arcosa. Similarly, the tax treatment of certain 
items reflected in the separate financial statements of Arcosa may not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements and 
tax returns of Trinity; therefore, such items as net operating losses, credit carryforwards, and valuation allowances may exist in 
the standalone financial statements that may or may not exist in Trinity’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our  earnings  could  be  affected  by  changes  in  interest  rates  due  to  the  impact  those  changes  have  on  our  variable  rate 
revolving credit and term loan facility. As of December 31, 2020, we had $100.0 million of outstanding loans borrowed under 
the revolving credit facility. As our interest rate swap hedges the first $100 million of borrowings under the revolving credit 
facility,  these  borrowings  are  fully  hedged  against  any  increases  in  interest  rates  as  of  the  end  of  the  year.  At  December  31, 
2019,  borrowings  under  the  revolving  credit  facility  were  fully  hedged  against  any  increases  in  interest  rates.  As  of 
December 31, 2020, we had a remaining balance of $149.1 million on the term loan advanced in January 2020. If interest rates 
average one percentage point more in fiscal year 2021 than they did during 2020, our interest expense would increase by $1.5 
million.

In addition, we are subject to market risk related to our net investments in our foreign subsidiaries. The net investment in 
foreign  subsidiaries  as  of  December  31,  2020  was  $148.4  million.  The  impact  of  such  market  risk  exposures  as  a  result  of 
foreign exchange rate fluctuations has not been significant to Arcosa. See Note 9 of the Consolidated and Combined Financial 
Statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Arcosa, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Arcosa, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 
31,  2020  and  2019,  the  related  consolidated  and  combined  statements  of  operations,  comprehensive  income,  stockholders’ 
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively 
referred to as the “consolidated and combined financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated and combined financial 
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and 
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity 
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in 
Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission 
(2013 framework) and our report dated February 25, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are 
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable 
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to 
error  or  fraud.  Our  audits  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial 
statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  performing  procedures  that  respond  to  those  risks.  Such  procedures  included 
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included 
evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall 
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that 
were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that 
are  material  to  the  financial  statements  and  (2)  involved  especially  challenging,  subjective  or  complex  judgments.  The 
communication of the critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated and combined financial 
statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion 
on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Valuation of Goodwill

Description of the 
Matter

How We Addressed 
the Matter in Our 
Audit

At  December  31,  2020,  the  Company’s  goodwill  was  $794.0  million  and  represented  30%  of 
total assets. As discussed in Note 1 of the financial statements, goodwill is required to be tested 
for  impairment  annually,  or  on  an  interim  basis  whenever  events  or  circumstances  change, 
indicating that the carrying amount of the goodwill might be impaired. 

Auditing  management’s  annual  goodwill  impairment  test  is  complex  due  to  the  significant 
measurement uncertainty in determining the fair value of each reporting unit. In particular, the 
fair  value  estimates  are  sensitive  to  significant  assumptions  such  as  weighted  average  cost  of 
capital, revenue growth rates, and projected operating margins, which are affected by expected 
future market or economic conditions. Our risk assessment for goodwill impairment considers 
the amount by which the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of 
its  net  assets  since  the  level  of  precision  required  for  estimated  fair  value  increases  as  the 
difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value narrows.

We  tested  controls  over  the  Company’s  goodwill  impairment  process  for  estimating  the  fair 
value  of  the  Company’s  reporting  units.  For  example,  we  tested  controls  over  management’s 
review  of  the  valuation  model  and  of  the  significant  assumptions  used  to  develop  the 
prospective  financial  information,  including  management’s  controls  to  validate  that  the  data 
used  in  the  valuation  was  complete  and  accurate.  To  test  the  fair  value  of  the  Company’s 
reporting  units,  our  audit  procedures  included:  (i)  assessing  the  appropriateness  of  the 
methodology  utilized  by  management  to  estimate  fair  value;    (ii)  assessing  the  significant 
assumptions used by management by comparing them to current industry and economic trends, 
considering changes in the Company’s business model, customer base or product mix and other 
relevant  factors;  (iii)  performing  sensitivity  analyses  of  the  significant  assumptions;  and  (iv) 
reviewing the reconciliation of the fair value of the reporting units to the market capitalization 
of  the  Company  and  assessing  the  resulting  control  premium.  In  addition,  we  involved 
valuation  specialists  to  assist  us  in  evaluating  the  components  and  assumptions  that  are  most 
significant to the fair value estimate.

Accounting for acquisitions

Description of the 
Matter

As  described  in  Note  2  “Acquisitions  and  Divestitures”,  the  Company  completed  seven 
acquisitions during 2020 for total net consideration of $474.7 million, with the largest of these 
acquisitions  for  net  consideration  of  $296.8  million.  The  transactions  were  accounted  for  as 
business combinations.

Auditing the Company's acquisition accounting was complex due to the significant estimations 
used  by  management  in  determining  the  fair  values  of  mineral  reserves  and  intangible  assets, 
including  customer  relationships  and  permits,  all  of  which  utilize  prospective  financial 
information. The Company valued mineral reserves, customer relationships and permits using 
the  multi-period  excess  earnings  model.  The  significant  assumptions  used  in  this  model 
included attrition rate, weighted average cost of capital and certain assumptions that form the 
basis of the forecasted results (i.e. revenue growth rates and EBITDA margin). The significant 
assumptions  used  in  the  valuation  of  the  mineral  reserves  and  intangible  assets  are  forward-
looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

How We Addressed 
the Matter in Our 
Audit

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of 
controls over the Company’s accounting for the acquisitions. For example, we tested controls 
over  management’s  review  of  the  valuation  methods  and  significant  underlying  assumptions 
used in the valuation of mineral reserves and for each identified intangible asset.

To test the estimated fair value of mineral reserves and intangible assets, we performed audit 
procedures  assisted  by  our  valuation  specialists  that  included,  among  others,  evaluating  the 
Company’s  selection  of  the  valuation  methodologies,  evaluating  the  significant  assumptions 
used by the Company’s valuation calculations and evaluating the completeness and accuracy of 
the  underlying  data  supporting  the  significant  assumptions.  For  example,  we  performed 
sensitivity analyses and compared significant assumptions to industry and economic trends, to 
assumptions  used  to  value  similar  assets  in  other  acquisitions  completed  by  the  Company,  to 
historical  results  of  the  acquired  business  and  to  other  guideline  companies  within  the  same 
industry.  We  also  evaluated  the  Company’s  acquisition  and  related  purchase  accounting 
disclosures included in Note 2 “Acquisitions and Divestitures”.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2015.

Arcosa, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements
Note 1. Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Arcosa,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is 
a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions with leading brands serving construction, engineered structure, and 
transportation markets in North America. Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2018 in connection with 
the separation (the “Separation”) of Arcosa from Trinity Industries, Inc. (“Trinity” or “Former Parent”) on November 1, 2018 
as an independent, publicly-traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The  accompanying  Consolidated  and  Combined  Financial  Statements  present  our  historical  financial  position,  results  of 
operations, comprehensive income/loss, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 
(“GAAP”).  The  combined  financial  statements  for  periods  prior  to  the  Separation  were  derived  from  Trinity’s  consolidated 
financial statements and accounting records and prepared in accordance with GAAP for the preparation of carved-out combined 
financial  statements.  Through  the  date  of  the  Separation,  all  revenues  and  costs  as  well  as  assets  and  liabilities  directly 
associated with Arcosa have been included in the combined financial statements. Prior to the Separation, the combined financial 
statements also included allocations of certain selling, general, and administrative expenses provided by Trinity to Arcosa and 
allocations of related assets, liabilities, and the Former Parent’s net investment, as applicable. The allocations were determined 
on a reasonable basis; however, the amounts are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in 
the financial statements had the Company been an entity that operated independently of Trinity during the applicable periods.

Following the Separation, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and 

no longer include any allocations from Trinity.

All  normal  and  recurring  adjustments  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  of  the  financial  position  of  the  Company  and  the 
results  of  operations  and  cash  flows  have  been  made  in  conformity  with  GAAP.  All  significant  intercompany  accounts  and 
transactions have been eliminated. 

Relationship with Former Parent and Related Entities 

Prior  to  the  Separation,  Arcosa  was  managed  and  operated  in  the  normal  course  of  business  with  other  business  units  of 
Trinity.  The  accompanying  combined  financial  results  for  periods  prior  to  the  Separation  include  sales  and  purchase 
transactions  with  Trinity  and  its  subsidiaries  in  addition  to  certain  shared  costs  which  have  been  allocated  to  Arcosa  and 
reflected as expenses in the Combined Statements of Operations. Transactions and allocations between Trinity and Arcosa are 
reflected in equity in the Combined Statement of Stockholders' Equity as Former Parent's net investment and in the Combined 
Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity in Net transfers from/(to) Former Parent and affiliates. All transactions and 
allocations  between  Trinity  and  Arcosa  prior  to  the  Separation  have  been  deemed  paid  between  the  parties,  in  cash,  in  the 
period  in  which  the  transaction  or  allocation  was  recorded  in  the  Combined  Financial  Statements.  Disbursements  and  cash 
receipts  were  made  through  centralized  accounts  payable  and  cash  collection  systems,  respectively,  which  were  operated  by 
Trinity.  As  cash  was  disbursed  and  received  by  Trinity,  it  was  accounted  for  by  Arcosa  through  the  Former  Parent's  net 
investment  account.  Allocations  of  current  income  taxes  receivable  or  payable  prior  to  the  Separation  were  deemed  to  have 
been remitted to Arcosa or Trinity, respectively, in cash, in the period to which the receivable or payable applies.

Corporate Costs/Allocations 

The  combined  financial  results  include  an  allocation  of  costs  related  to  certain  corporate  functions  incurred  by  Trinity  for 
services that are provided to or on behalf of Arcosa. Corporate costs have been allocated to Arcosa using methods management 
believes are consistent and reasonable. Such cost allocations to Arcosa consist of (1) shared service charges and (2) corporate 
overhead costs. Shared service charges consist of monthly charges to each Trinity business unit for certain corporate functions 
such as information technology, human resources, and legal based on usage rates and activity units. Corporate overhead costs 
consist of costs not previously allocated to Trinity's business units and were allocated to Arcosa based on an analysis of each 
cost function and the relative benefits received by Arcosa for each of the periods. Corporate overhead costs allocated to Arcosa 
prior to the Separation totaled $26.0 million for the ten months ended October 31, 2018. Corporate overhead costs are included 
in  selling,  general,  and  administrative  expenses  in  the  accompanying  Consolidated  and  Combined  Statements  of  Operations. 
Also see Note 4 Segment Information. 

56

The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of Arcosa for the year ended December 31, 2018 may not include all 
of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had we operated as a standalone company during the periods presented 
and  may  not  reflect  our  combined  results  of  operations,  financial  position,  and  cash  flows  had  we  operated  as  a  standalone 
company  during  the  period.  Actual  costs  that  would  have  been  incurred  if  we  had  operated  as  a  standalone  company  would 
depend  on  multiple  factors,  including  organizational  structure  and  strategic  decisions  made  in  various  areas,  including 
information technology and infrastructure. We also may incur additional costs associated with being a standalone, independent, 
publicly-traded company that were not included in the expense allocations and, therefore, would result in additional costs that 
are not reflected in our historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. 

Other Transactions with Trinity Businesses

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company had sales to Trinity businesses of $160.3 million and purchases from 

Trinity businesses of $44.5 million. Subsequent to the Separation, Trinity is no longer considered a related entity.

Stockholders' Equity

In December 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a new $50 million share repurchase program 
effective  January  1,  2021  through  December  31,  2022.  The  new  program  replaced  the  previous  program  which  expired  on 
December 31, 2020. Under the previous program, the Company repurchased 184,772 shares at a cost of $8.0 million during the 
year ended December 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 361,442 shares at a cost 
of $11.0 million. 

Prior  to  the  Separation,  the  Company  filed  its  Restated  Certificate  of  Incorporation  which  authorizes  the  issuance  of  200 

million shares of common stock at a par value of $0.01 per share. 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on the allocation of the transaction price in a contract to satisfied performance obligations. The 
transaction price does not include any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it 
satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description 
of  principal  activities  from  which  the  Company  generates  its  revenue,  separated  by  reportable  segments.  Payments  for  our 
products  and  services  are  generally  due  within  normal  commercial  terms.  For  a  further  discussion  regarding  the  Company’s 
reportable segments, see Note 4 Segment Information. 

Construction Products

The  Construction  Products  segment  recognizes  substantially  all  revenue  when  the  customer  has  accepted  the  product  and 

legal title of the product has passed to the customer. 

Engineered Structures

Within  the  Engineered  Structures  segment,  revenue  is  recognized  for  our  wind  tower,  certain  utility  structure,  and  certain 
storage  tank  product  lines  over  time  as  the  products  are  manufactured  using  an  input  approach  based  on  the  costs  incurred 
relative  to  the  total  estimated  costs  of  production.  We  recognize  revenue  over  time  for  these  products  as  they  are  highly 
customized  to  the  needs  of  an  individual  customer  resulting  in  no  alternative  use  to  the  Company  if  not  purchased  by  the 
customer after the contract is executed, and we have the right to bill the customer for our work performed to date plus at least a 
reasonable profit margin for work performed. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had a contract asset of $82.8 million and 
$50.8  million,  respectively,  which  is  included  in  receivables,  net  of  allowance,  within  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets.  The 
increase  in  the  contract  asset  in  2020  is  attributed  to  an  increase  in  finished  structures  that  had  not  yet  been  delivered  to 
customers.  For  all  other  products,  revenue  is  recognized  when  the  customer  has  accepted  the  product  and  legal  title  of  the 
product has passed to the customer. 

Transportation Products

The Transportation Products segment recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the 

product has passed to the customer.

Income Taxes

The  liability  method  is  used  to  account  for  income  taxes.  Deferred  income  taxes  represent  the  tax  effects  of  temporary 
differences  between  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  for  financial  reporting  purposes  and  the  amounts  used  for 
income tax purposes. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

The Company regularly evaluates the likelihood of realization of tax benefits derived from positions it has taken in various 
federal  and  state  filings  after  consideration  of  all  relevant  facts,  circumstances,  and  available  information.  For  those  tax 
positions that are deemed more likely than not to be sustained, the Company recognizes the benefit it believes is cumulatively 
greater  than  50%  likely  to  be  realized.  To  the  extent  the  Company  were  to  prevail  in  matters  for  which  accruals  have  been 
established or be required to pay amounts in excess of recorded reserves, the effective tax rate in a given financial statement 
period could be materially impacted.

Prior  to  the  Separation,  the  Company’s  operating  results  were  included  in  the  Former  Parent’s  various  consolidated  U.S. 
federal and state income tax returns, as well as non-U.S. tax filings. In the Company’s Combined Financial Statements for the 
periods prior to the Separation, income tax expense and deferred tax balances have been recorded as if the Company filed tax 
returns on a standalone basis separate from the Former Parent. The separate return method applies the accounting guidance for 
income taxes to the standalone financial statements as if the Company was a separate taxpayer and a standalone enterprise for 
the periods presented.

Financial Instruments

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments to be cash and cash equivalents if purchased with a maturity of 
three months or less. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily 
cash investments and receivables. The Company places its cash investments in bank deposits and highly-rated money market 
funds,  and  its  investment  policy  limits  the  amount  of  credit  exposure  to  any  one  commercial  issuer.  We  seek  to  limit 
concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables with control procedures that monitor the credit worthiness of customers, 
together with the large number of customers in the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different industries and 
geographic  areas.  As  receivables  are  generally  unsecured,  the  Company  maintains  an  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  based 
upon  the  expected  credit  losses.  Receivable  balances  determined  to  be  uncollectible  are  charged  against  the  allowance.  To 
accelerate the conversion to cash, the Company may sell a portion of its trade receivables to a third party. The Company has no 
continuing involvement or recourse related to these receivables once they are sold, and the impact of these transactions in the 
Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 was not significant. 
The  carrying  values  of  cash,  receivables,  and  accounts  payable  are  considered  to  be  representative  of  their  respective  fair 
values. 

Inventories

Inventories  are  valued  at  the  lower  of  cost  or  net  realizable  value.  Cost  is  determined  principally  on  the  first  in  first  out 
method.  The  value  of  inventory  is  adjusted  for  damaged,  obsolete,  excess,  or  slow-moving  inventory.  Work  in  process  and 
finished goods include material, labor, and overhead. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a $6.1 
million write-off on finished goods inventory related to an order for a single customer in our utility structures business.

58

 
Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated or depleted over their estimated useful lives, primarily using 
the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are: buildings and improvements - 3 to 30 years; leasehold improvements - 
the lesser of the term of the lease or 11 years; and machinery and equipment - 2 to 15 years. Depletion of mineral reserves is 
calculated based on estimated proven and probable reserves using the units-of-production method on a quarry-by-quarry basis. 
The costs of ordinary maintenance and repair are charged to operating costs as incurred. 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually, or on an interim basis when events or changes in circumstances 
indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is assessed at the “reporting 
unit” level by comparing the reporting unit's estimated fair value with the carrying amount of its net assets. If the carrying value 
of  the  reporting  unit  exceeds  its  fair  value,  an  impairment  loss  is  recognized.  The  goodwill  impairment  is  measured  as  the 
excess of the reporting unit's carrying value over its fair value, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting 
unit. The estimates and judgments that most significantly affect the fair value calculations are assumptions, consisting of level 
three inputs, related to revenue and operating profit growth, discount rates, and exit multiples. As of December 31, 2020 and 
2019, the Company's annual impairment test of goodwill was completed at the reporting unit level and no impairment charges 
were determined to be necessary.

Intangible assets are recorded at fair value, using level three inputs, on the date of acquisition and evaluated to determine their 
estimated useful life. These assets primarily consist of customer relationships and permits and are amortized using the straight-
line method. The estimated useful lives for definite-lived intangible assets are: customer relationships - 5 to 15 years; permits - 
10 to 29 years; and other - 1 to 10 years.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily relate to an acquired trademark. These assets are not amortized but are evaluated 
for impairment annually, or on an interim basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not 
be  recoverable.  The  impairment  test  compares  the  fair  value  of  each  asset  to  its  carrying  value  using  a  relief  from  royalty 
method. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company's annual impairment test was completed and no impairment charges 
were determined to be necessary.

Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including property, plant, and equipment 
and definite-lived intangibles, for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount 
may  not  be  recoverable.  The  carrying  value  of  long-lived  assets  to  be  held  and  used  is  considered  impaired  only  when  the 
carrying  value  is  not  recoverable  through  undiscounted  future  cash  flows  and  the  fair  value  of  the  assets  is  less  than  their 
carrying value. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the 
risks involved or market quotes as available. Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined in a similar 
manner, except that fair values are reduced by the estimated cost to dispose of the assets. 

The Company recorded impairment charges of $7.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 related to assets that 
were  disposed  of  during  the  year.  No  impairment  charges  were  recognized  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019.  See 
Note  2  Acquisitions  and  Divestitures  for  discussion  of  the  impairment  charge  recorded  during  the  year  ended  December  31, 
2018 on businesses that were subsequently divested.

Workers’ Compensation

The  Company  is  effectively  self-insured  for  workers’  compensation  claims.  A  third-party  administrator  is  used  to  process 

claims. We accrue our workers' compensation liability based upon independent actuarial studies.

Warranties

The Company provides various express, limited product warranties that generally range from 1 to 5 years depending on the 
product. The warranty costs are estimated using a two-step approach. First, an engineering estimate is made for the cost of all 
claims that have been asserted by customers. Second, based on historical, accepted claims experience, a cost is accrued for all 
products still within a warranty period for which no claims have been filed. The Company provides for the estimated cost of 
product warranties at the time revenue is recognized related to products covered by warranties and assesses the adequacy of the 
resulting reserves on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company's accrual for warranty costs was $3.1 
million and $2.6 million, respectively, which is included in accrued liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

59

Derivative Instruments

The  Company  may,  from  time  to  time,  use  derivative  instruments  to  mitigate  the  impact  of  changes  in  interest  rates, 
commodity  prices,  or  changes  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates.  For  derivative  instruments  designated  as  hedges,  the 
Company  formally  documents  the  relationship  between  the  derivative  instrument  and  the  hedged  item,  as  well  as  the  risk 
management objective and strategy for the use of the derivative instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivative 
to specific assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, commitments, or forecasted transactions. At the time a derivative instrument 
is  entered  into,  and  at  least  quarterly  thereafter,  the  Company  assesses  whether  the  derivative  instrument  is  effective  in 
offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Any change in the fair value of the hedged instrument is 
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) as a separate component of stockholders' equity and reclassified 
into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company monitors its derivative positions 
and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not anticipate losses due to counterparties' non-performance. 

Foreign Currency Translation

Certain  operations  outside  the  U.S.  prepare  financial  statements  in  currencies  other  than  the  U.S.  dollar.  The  income 
statement amounts are translated at average exchange rates for the year, while the assets and liabilities are translated at year-end 
exchange  rates.  Translation  adjustments  are  accumulated  as  a  separate  component  of  stockholders'  equity  and  other 
comprehensive income. The functional currency of our Mexico operations is considered to be the U.S. dollar. The functional 
currency of our Canadian operations is considered to be the Canadian dollar.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  consists  of  foreign  currency  translation  adjustments  and  the  effective  unrealized  gains 
and  losses  on  the  Company's  derivative  financial  instruments,  the  sum  of  which,  along  with  net  income,  constitutes 
comprehensive net income (loss). See Note 12 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. All components are shown net of tax.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Effective as of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts 
with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides common revenue recognition guidance for GAAP. Under ASU 2014-09, 
an  entity  recognizes  revenue  when  it  transfers  promised  goods  or  services  to  customers  in  an  amount  that  reflects  what  it 
expects  to  receive  in  exchange  for  the  goods  or  services.  It  also  requires  additional  detailed  disclosures  to  enable  users  of 
financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts 
with customers. 

The primary impact of adopting the standard is a change in the timing of revenue recognition for our wind towers, certain 
utility  structures,  and  certain  storage  tank  product  lines  within  our  Engineered  Structures  segment.  Previously,  the  Company 
recognized revenue when the product was delivered. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized over time as the products are 
manufactured. Revenue recognition policies in our other business segments remain substantially unchanged.

Effective  as  of  January  1,  2019,  the  Company  adopted  Accounting  Standards  Update  No.  2016-02,  “Leases”,  (“ASU 
2016-02”), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most 
leases  on  their  balance  sheets  and  making  targeted  changes  to  lessor  accounting.  The  Company  elected  to  use  the  optional 
transition method that allows the Company to apply the provisions of the standard at the effective date without adjusting the 
comparative prior periods. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance 
within the new standard which allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. The cumulative effect of adopting 
the standard on the opening balance of retained earnings was not significant.

The primary impact of adopting the standard was the recognition of a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for 
our operating leases included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 8 
Leases for further discussion.

The Company has implemented processes and a lease accounting system to ensure adequate internal controls were in place to 

assess our contracts and enable proper accounting and reporting of financial information upon adoption.

Effective as of January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - 
Credit  Losses”,  (“ASU  2016-13”),  which  amends  the  existing  accounting  guidance  for  recognizing  credit  losses  on  financial 
assets  and  certain  other  instruments  not  measured  at  fair  value  through  net  income,  including  financial  assets  measured  at 
amortized  cost,  such  as  trade  receivables  and  contract  assets.  ASU  2016-13  replaces  the  existing  incurred  loss  impairment 
model  with  an  expected  credit  loss  model  that  requires  consideration  of  a  broader  range  of  information  to  estimate  expected 
credit  losses  over  the  lifetime  of  the  asset.  The  adoption  of  this  guidance  did  not  have  a  material  effect  on  the  Company’s 
Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

60

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not adopted as of December 31, 2020

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Updated No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income 
Taxes”,  (“ASU  2019-12”),  which  simplifies  the  accounting  for  income  taxes  by  removing  certain  exceptions  to  the  general 
principles  for  income  taxes.  ASU  2019-12  will  become  effective  for  public  companies  during  interim  and  annual  reporting 
periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this standard to have a material 
impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In  March  2020,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“FASB”)  issued  Accounting  Standards  Update  No.  2020-04, 
“Reference Rate Reform” (“ASU 2020-04”) which provides optional guidance for contract modifications, hedging accounting, 
and other transactions associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 is 
effective for all entities upon issuance through December 31, 2022. We are still evaluating the impact of adoption, but do not 
expect the guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management's Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the 
financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could 
differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements to conform with 

the 2020 presentation.

2020 Acquisitions

Cherry Industries, Inc.

On January 6, 2020, we completed the stock acquisition of Cherry Industries, Inc. and affiliated entities (“Cherry”), a leading 
producer  of  natural  and  recycled  aggregates  in  the  Houston,  Texas  market  which  is  included  in  our  Construction  Products 
segment.  The  purchase  price  of  $296.8  million  was  funded  with  a  combination  of  cash  on-hand,  advances  under  a  new 
$150.0 million five-year term loan, and future payments to the seller for a net cash paid of $284.1 million during the year ended 
December 31, 2020. See Note 7 Debt for additional information on our credit facility. Non-recurring transaction and integration 
costs incurred related to the Cherry acquisition were approximately $3.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 
approximately $0.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination 
with  valuations  of  the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  at  their  acquisition  date  fair  value  using  level  three  inputs,  defined  as 
unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or 
liabilities. The following table represents our final purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2020:

The goodwill acquired, none of which is tax deductible, primarily relates to Cherry's market position and existing workforce. 
The customer relationship intangibles and permits were assigned weighted average useful lives of 14.9 years and 19.8 years, 
respectively.  Revenues  and  operating  profit  included  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Operations  from  the  date  of  the 
acquisition were approximately $173.2 million and $25.2 million, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2020.

The  following  table  represents  the  unaudited  pro-forma  consolidated  operating  results  of  the  Company  as  if  the  Cherry 
acquisition  had  been  completed  on  January  1,  2019.  The  unaudited  pro-forma  information  makes  certain  adjustments  to 
depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense to reflect the fair value recognized in the purchase price allocation, removes 
one-time transaction related costs, and aligns the Company's debt financing with that as of the acquisition date. The unaudited 
pro-forma information should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had been 
completed on January 1, 2019, nor is such unaudited pro-forma information necessarily indicative of future results.

combination based on preliminary valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value 
using  level  three  inputs.  The  valuation  resulted  in  the  recognition  of  $8.5  million  of  goodwill  in  our  Engineered  Structures 
segment. Such assets and liabilities were not significant in relation to assets and liabilities at the consolidated or segment level.

In  August  2020,  we  completed  the  acquisition  of  certain  assets  and  liabilities  of  a  natural  aggregates  business  in  our 
Construction  Products  segment  for  a  total  purchase  price  of  $25.8  million.  The  acquisition  was  recorded  as  a  business 
combination based on preliminary valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value 
using  level  three  inputs.  The  valuation  resulted  in  the  recognition  of  $8.7  million  of  goodwill  in  our  Construction  Products 
segment. Such assets and liabilities were not significant in relation to assets and liabilities at the consolidated or segment level.

In October 2020, we completed the stock acquisition of Strata Materials, LLC  (“Strata”), a leading provider of natural and 
recycled aggregates in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area, which is included in our Construction Products segment for a total 
purchase price of $87.0 million. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on preliminary valuations of the 
assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  at  their  acquisition  date  fair  value  using  level  three  inputs.  The  preliminary  valuation 
resulted in the recognition of $48.2 million of permits with an initial weighted average useful life of 22.8 years and $7.4 million 
of goodwill in our Construction Products segment. The remaining assets and liabilities were not significant in relation to assets 
and liabilities at the consolidated or segment level. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material 
to the purchase price allocation, particularly with respect to our preliminary estimates of identified intangible assets. 

In  October  2020,  we  also  completed  the  acquisition  of  certain  assets  and  liabilities  of  a  traffic  structures  business  in  our 

Engineered Structures segment. The purchase price of the acquisition was not significant.

2019 Acquisitions

In June 2019, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of an inland barge components business within our 
Transportation  Products  segment.  We  also  completed  the  acquisition  of  certain  assets  and  liabilities  of  a  natural  aggregates 
business  in  our  Construction  Products  segment.  The  total  purchase  price  for  the  businesses  acquired  was  $27.6  million,  a 
portion of which includes estimated royalties to be paid to the seller of the natural aggregates business over the next 10 years. 
The  acquisitions  were  recorded  as  business  combinations  with  the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  recorded  at  their 
acquisition date fair value using level three inputs. The valuation resulted in the recognition of $10.4 million of goodwill in our 
Transportation Products segment and $1.6 million of goodwill in our Construction Products segment. Such assets and liabilities 
were not significant in relation to assets and liabilities at the consolidated or segment level.

In  August  2019,  we  completed  acquisitions  of  certain  assets  and  liabilities  of  two  natural  aggregates  businesses  in  our 
Construction  Products  segment  for  a  total  purchase  price  of  $9.4  million.  The  acquisitions  were  recorded  as  business 
combinations  with  the  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  recorded  at  their  acquisition  date  fair  value  using  level  three 
inputs. The valuation resulted in the recognition of $1.1 million of goodwill in our Construction Products segment. Such assets 
and liabilities were not significant in relation to assets and liabilities at the consolidated or segment level.

2018 Acquisitions

ACG Materials

On December 5, 2018, we completed the stock acquisition of ACG Materials (“ACG”), a producer of specialty materials and 
aggregates which is included in our Construction Products segment. The purchase price of $309.1 million was funded with a 
combination  of  cash  on-hand  and  a  $180.0  million  borrowing  under  the  Company's  credit  facility.  Acquisition-related 
transaction costs incurred after the Separation were insignificant. Costs incurred by the Former Parent prior to the Separation 
were included in the allocation of corporate costs in accordance with the methodology described in Note 1.

The  acquisition  was  recorded  as  a  business  combination  with  valuations  of  the  acquired  assets  and  liabilities  at  their 
acquisition  date  fair  value  using  level  three  inputs,  defined  as  unobservable  inputs  that  are  supported  by  little  or  no  market

The goodwill acquired, none of which is tax deductible, primarily relates to ACG's geographic footprint, market position, and 
existing  workforce.  Revenues  included  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Operations  from  the  date  of  the  acquisition  were 
approximately $11.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, whereas operating profit during the same period was 
insignificant.

The  following  table  represents  the  unaudited  pro-forma  consolidated  operating  results  of  the  Company  as  if  the  ACG 
acquisition  had  been  completed  on  January  1,  2017.  The  unaudited  pro-forma  information  makes  certain  adjustments  to 
depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense to reflect the fair value recognized in the purchase price allocation, as well as 
to align ACG's capital structure and debt financing with that of the Company at the acquisition date. As a measure of unaudited 
pro-forma  earnings,  we  have  presented  income  before  income  taxes  because  our  effective  tax  rates  for  2018  and  2017  were 
impacted by one-time effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that would be impracticable to calculate for ACG. The unaudited 
pro-forma information should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had been 
completed on January 1, 2017, nor is such unaudited pro-forma information necessarily indicative of future results.

In March 2018, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of an inland barge business with a purchase price and net cash 
paid of $25.0 million. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on valuations of the acquired assets and 
liabilities at their acquisition date fair value using level three inputs. The valuation resulted in the recognition of $9.5 million of 
goodwill  in  our  Transportation  Products  segment.  Such  assets  and  liabilities  were  not  significant  in  relation  to  assets  and 
liabilities  at  the  consolidated  and  combined  or  segment  level.  During  the  twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2020,  the 
Company scrapped certain unusable non-operating assets acquired resulting in an impairment charge of $4.5 million.

Divestitures

During  the  fourth  quarter  of  2018,  the  Company  completed  the  divestiture  of  certain  businesses  whose  revenues  were 
included in the storage tanks component of the Engineered Structures segment. The net proceeds from these divestitures were 
not significant. Prior to the sales, the Company recognized a pre-tax impairment charge of $23.2 million on these businesses. 

We have concluded that the divestiture of these businesses did not represent a strategic shift that would result in a material 
effect on our operations and financial results; therefore, these disposals have not been reflected in discontinued operations in 
our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. 

There was no divestiture activity during the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in 
the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the 
measurement  date.  An  entity  is  required  to  establish  a  fair  value  hierarchy  that  maximizes  the  use  of  observable  inputs  and 
minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure 
fair values are listed below:

Level  1  –  This  level  is  defined  as  quoted  prices  in  active  markets  for  identical  assets  or  liabilities.  The  Company’s  cash 

equivalents are instruments of the U.S. Treasury or highly-rated money market mutual funds.

Level  2  –  This  level  is  defined  as  observable  inputs  other  than  Level  1  prices  such  as  quoted  prices  for  similar  assets  or 
liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable 
market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Interest rate hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from 
each counterparty. See Note 7 Debt. 

Level 3 – This level is defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant 
to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Contingent consideration relates to estimated future payments owed to the sellers of 
businesses previously acquired. We estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration using a discounted cash flow model. 
The fair value is sensitive to changes in the forecast of sales and changes in discount rates and is reassessed quarterly based on 
assumptions used in our latest projections.

Note 4. Segment Information

The Company reports operating results in three principal business segments: 

Construction Products. The Construction Products segment produces and sells construction aggregates, including natural and 
recycled  aggregates  and  specialty  materials,  and  manufactures  and  sells  trench  shields  and  shoring  products  and  services  for 
infrastructure-related projects.

65

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Engineered Structures. The Company renamed this segment as of December 31, 2020 from Energy Equipment to better reflect 
the  products  delivered.  There  have  been  no  changes  to  the  businesses  that  have  historically  comprised  this  segment.  The 
Engineered Structures segment manufactures and sells engineered structures primarily for infrastructure businesses, including 
utility structures for electricity transmission and distribution, structural wind towers, traffic structures, and telecommunication 
structures. These products share similar manufacturing competencies and steel sourcing requirements, and can be manufactured 
across our North American footprint. The segment also manufactures storage and distribution tanks.

Transportation Products. The Transportation Products segment manufactures and sells products for the inland waterway and 
rail transportation industries including barges, barge-related products, axles, and couplers.

The financial information for these segments is shown in the tables below. We operate principally in North America.

We did not capitalize any interest expense as part of the construction of facilities and equipment during 2020 or 2019.

We estimate the fair market value of properties not currently in use based on the location and condition of the properties, the 
fair market value of similar properties in the area, and the Company's experience selling similar properties in the past. As of 
December 31, 2020, the Company had non-operating plants with a net book value of $32.8 million. Our estimated fair value of 
these assets exceeds their book value.

The increase in goodwill for Construction Products during the year ended December 31, 2020 is due to recently completed 
acquisitions,  including  Cherry  and  Strata.  The  increase  in  the  goodwill  for  Engineered  Structures  during  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2020 is due to recently completed acquisitions. The decrease in the goodwill for Transportation Products during 
the year ended December 31, 2020 is due to a refinement of the purchase price allocation of a recent acquisition. See Note 2 
Acquisitions and Divestitures.

On November 1, 2018, the Company entered into a $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to 
mature  in  November  2023.  On  January  2,  2020,  the  Company  entered  into  an  Amended  and  Restated  Credit  Agreement  to 
increase  the  revolving  credit  facility  to  $500.0  million  and  added  a  term  loan  facility  of  $150.0  million,  in  each  case  with  a 
maturity date of January 2, 2025.

The interest rates under the revolving credit facility and term loan are variable based on LIBOR or an alternate base rate plus 
a margin. A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving facility. The margin for borrowing 
and  commitment  fee  rate  are  determined  based  on  Arcosa’s  leverage  as  measured  by  a  consolidated  total  indebtedness  to 
consolidated EBITDA ratio. The margin for borrowing ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% and was set at LIBOR plus 1.25% as of 
December 31, 2020. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.20% to 0.35% and was set at 0.20% at December 31, 2020. 

In  March  2020,  as  a  precautionary  measure,  the  Company  borrowed  $100.0  million  under  its  revolving  credit  facility  to 
increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility considering the uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. 
The Company subsequently repaid the $100.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, 
we had $100.0 million of outstanding loans borrowed under the facility, and there were approximately $28.6 million of letters 
of credit issued, leaving $371.4 million available. Of the outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, 2020, $26.1 million 
are  expected  to  expire  in  2021,  with  the  remainder  in  2022.  The  majority  of  our  letters  of  credit  obligations  support  the 
Company’s various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year.

The  entire  term  loan  was  advanced  on  January  2,  2020  in  connection  with  the  closing  of  the  acquisition  of  Cherry.  See 

Note 2 Acquisitions and Divestitures. As of December 31, 2020, the term loan had a remaining balance of $149.1 million.

The  Company's  revolving  credit  and  term  loan  facilities  require  the  maintenance  of  certain  ratios  related  to  leverage  and 
interest coverage. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. Borrowings under the 
credit agreement are guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

The  carrying  value  of  borrowings  under  our  revolving  credit  and  term  loan  facilities  approximate  fair  value  because  the 

interest rate adjusts to the market interest rate (Level 3 input). See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $1.6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the revolving credit 

facility, which are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Interest rate hedges

In December 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap instrument, effective as of January 2, 2019 and expiring in 
2023, to reduce the effect of changes in the variable interest rates associated with borrowings under the revolving credit facility.  
The instrument carried an initial notional amount of $100 million, thereby hedging the first $100 million of borrowings under 
the credit facility. The instrument effectively fixes the LIBOR component of the credit facility borrowings at a monthly rate of 
2.71%. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has recorded a liability of $7.3 million for the fair value of the instrument, all 
of which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting.  

Note 8. Leases

We  have  various  leases  primarily  for  office  space  and  certain  equipment.  At  inception,  we  determine  if  an  arrangement 
contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. For leases that contain 
options  to  purchase,  terminate,  or  extend,  such  options  are  included  in  the  lease  term  when  it  is  reasonably  certain  that  the 
option  will  be  exercised.  Some  of  our  lease  arrangements  contain  lease  components  and  non-lease  components  which  are 
accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components 
for all leases. 

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available 

at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

In  response  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  on  March  27,  2020  the  U.S.  Congress  passed  the  Coronavirus  Aid,  Relief,  and 
Economic  Security  Act  (the  “CARES  Act”),  which  includes  certain  tax  relief  and  benefits  that  may  impact  the  Company. 
Approximately $15 million of federal and state income tax payments deferred during the first half of the year were paid during 
the  third  quarter  of  2020.  As  of  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  has  deferred  $9.7  million  in  payroll-related  taxes  in 
accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act.

The  Tax  Cuts  and  Jobs  Act  (“the  Act”)  was  enacted  on  December  22,  2017.  The  Act  reduced  the  U.S.  federal  corporate 
income  tax  rate  from  35%  to  21%,  required  companies  to  pay  a  one-time  transition  tax  on  earnings  of  certain  foreign 
subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and created new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. During the year ended 
December 31, 2018, we finalized the accounting for the enactment of the Act and recorded a $1.5 million benefit, primarily as a 
result of the true-up of our deferred taxes. There was no additional impact to the years ended December 31, 2020 or 2019.

Income  (loss)  before  income  taxes  for  the  December  31,  2020,  2019,  and  2018  was  $143.0  million,  $143.6  million,  and 
$106.6 million, respectively, for U.S. operations, and $(4.8) million, $3.2 million, and $(11.6) million, respectively, for foreign 
operations, principally Mexico and Canada. The Company provides deferred income taxes on the unrepatriated earnings of its 
foreign operations where it results in a deferred tax liability. 

Deferred  income  taxes  represent  the  tax  effects  of  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and 
liabilities  for  financial  reporting  purposes  and  the  amounts  used  for  income  tax  purposes.  The  components  of  deferred  tax 
liabilities and assets are as follows:

At December 31, 2020, the Company had $20.8 million of federal consolidated net operating loss carryforwards, primarily 
from businesses acquired, and $0.9 million of tax-effected state loss carryforwards remaining. In addition, the Company had 
$52.5 million of foreign net operating loss carryforwards that will begin to expire in the year 2022. 

We have established a valuation allowance for state and foreign tax operating losses and credits that we have estimated may 

not be realizable.

Income tax has not been recognized on the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in 
foreign subsidiaries that is indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. This amount becomes taxable upon a repatriation of 
assets  from  the  subsidiary  or  a  sale  or  liquidation  of  the  subsidiary.  The  amount  of  such  temporary  differences  totaled 
approximately $109.8 million as of December 31, 2020. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax 
liability on this temporary difference is not practicable because of the complexities of the hypothetical calculation.

Taxing authority examinations                                                                                                                                                     

We have multiple federal tax return filings that are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The 2018 and 
2019  tax  years  are  open  for  the  Arcosa,  Inc.  federal  return  and  the  2017-2019  tax  years  are  open  for  the  ACG  federal 
returns. We have various subsidiaries that file separate state tax returns and are subject to examination by taxing authorities at 
different times. The entities are generally open for their 2017 tax years and forward. We have various subsidiaries in Mexico 
that file separate tax returns and are subject to examination by taxing authorities at different times. The entities are generally 
open for their 2013 tax years and forward.

The additions for tax positions of prior years of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively, are due to 

foreign tax positions. 

Expiration  of  statutes  of  limitations  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2019  relate  to  foreign  tax  returns.  Expiration  of 

statutes of limitations during the year ended December 31, 2018 relate to state and foreign tax returns. 

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits including interest and penalties at December 31, 2018 that would affect the 
Company’s effective tax rate if recognized was $0.5 million. The total amount of tax benefit including interest and penalties 
recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019 was due to lapses in statutes of limitations was $0.5 million.

Arcosa accounts for interest expense and penalties related to income tax issues as income tax expense. Accordingly, interest 
expense  and  penalties  associated  with  an  uncertain  tax  position  are  included  in  the  income  tax  provision.  There  is  were  no 
accrued interest and penalties as of December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 
2018 included a decrease of $0.9 million with regard to interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Note 11. Employee Retirement Plans

The  Company  sponsors  defined  contribution  plans  and  defined  benefit  plans  that  provide  retirement  income  for  eligible 
employees and retirees of the Company. For periods prior to the Separation, the participation of employees of the Company in 
defined benefit plans sponsored by Trinity is reflected in the combined financial statements as though the Company participated 
in  a  multiemployer  plan  with  Trinity.  The  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  defined  benefit  plans  were  retained  by  Trinity.  As  of 
December 31, 2020, these defined benefit plans were terminated.

Prior  to  the  Separation,  the  expenses  of  these  benefit  plans  were  allocated  to  Arcosa  based  on  a  review  of  personnel  and 
personnel costs by business unit and funded through intercompany transactions with Trinity. A proportionate share of the cost is 
reflected in the combined financial statements. 

In connection with the Separation, certain defined contribution sharing plans were separated into standalone plans for Arcosa 

and Trinity.

Established  under  Internal  Revenue  Code  Section  401(k),  the  Arcosa,  Inc.  401(k)  Plan  (“401(k)  Plan”)  is  a  defined 
contribution  plan  available  to  all  eligible  employees.  Participants  in  the  401(k)  Plan  are  eligible  to  receive  future  retirement 
benefits  through  elected  contributions  and  a  company-funded  match  with  the  investment  of  the  funds  directed  by  the 
participants.

The  Company  also  sponsors  a  fully‑funded,  non-qualified  deferred  compensation  plan.  The  invested  assets  and  related 
liabilities of these participants were approximately $4.9 million at December 31, 2020 and $3.9 million at December 31, 2019, 
which are included in other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Distributions from the Company’s 
non-qualified deferred compensation plan to participants were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. 

Multiemployer Plan

The  Company  contributes  to  a  multiemployer  defined  benefit  pension  plan  under  the  terms  of  a  collective-bargaining 
agreement that covers certain union-represented employees at one of the facilities of Meyer Utility Structures, a subsidiary of 
Arcosa. The risks of participating in a multiemployer plan are different from a single-employer plan in the following aspects:

•

Assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other 

participating employers.

•

If a participating employer stops contributing to a multiemployer plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be 

borne by the remaining participating employers.

•

If the Company chooses to stop participating in the multiemployer plan, the Company may be required to pay the plan 

an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.

Our participation in the multiemployer plan for the year ended December 31, 2020 is outlined in the table below. The Pension 
Protection Act (“PPA”) zone status at December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as of the plan years beginning January 1, 2020 and 2019, 
respectively, and is obtained from the multiemployer plan's regulatory filings available in the public domain and certified by the 
plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded while plans in the red zone are less than 
65%  funded.  Federal  law  requires  that  plans  classified  in  the  yellow  or  red  zones  adopt  a  funding  improvement  plan  or  a 
rehabilitation plan in order to improve the financial health of the plan. The Company's contributions to the multiemployer plan 
were  less  than  5%  of  total  contributions  to  the  plan.  The  last  column  in  the  table  lists  the  expiration  date  of  the  collective 
bargaining agreement to which the plan is subject.

In connection with the acquisition of ACG in December 2018, the Company assumed the assets and liabilities related to a 
defined benefit pension plan. As of December 31, 2020, the plan assets totaled $3.6 million and the projected benefit obligation 
totaled $3.5 million, for a net over funded status of $0.1 million, which is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance 
Sheet. The net pension expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was not significant. Employer contributions for the ACG 
pension plan for the year ending December 31, 2021 are not expected to be significant.

Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation

Prior  to  the  Separation,  Arcosa  employees  participated  in  Trinity's  equity  incentive  plans,  including  equity  awards  of 
restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock units in respect of Trinity common shares. For 
periods  prior  to  the  Separation,  Arcosa's  Consolidated  and  Combined  Financial  Statements  reflect  compensation  expense  for 
these stock-based plans associated with the portion of Trinity's equity incentive plans in which Arcosa employees participated. 

Following  the  Separation,  outstanding  awards  granted  to  Arcosa  employees  under  Trinity's  equity  incentive  plans  were 
converted  based  on  either  the  shareholder  method  or  the  concentration  method.  The  shares  or  units  converted  using  the 
shareholder method resulted in employees retaining their restricted shares or units in Trinity common stock and receiving one 
restricted  Arcosa  share  or  unit  for  every  three  restricted  Trinity  shares  or  units.  The  units  converted  using  the  concentration 
method  were  fully  converted  into  Arcosa  units  using  a  conversion  ratio  based  on  the  Volume  Weighted  Average  Prices 
(“VWAP”) of Trinity common stock for the 5 days prior to the Separation divided by the VWAP of Arcosa common stock for 
the  5  days  following  the  Separation.  The  Arcosa  units  continue  to  vest  in  accordance  with  their  original  vesting  schedules. 
There was no significant incremental stock-based compensation expense recorded as a result of the equity award conversions.

In  connection  with  the  Separation,  effective  November  1,  2018,  the  Board  adopted  and  Trinity,  in  its  capacity  as  sole 
shareholder of Arcosa prior to the Separation, approved, the Arcosa Inc. 2018 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). 
The Plan provides for the grant of equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance 
shares,  and  other  performance-based  awards,  to  our  directors,  officers,  and  employees.  The  maximum  number  of  shares  of 
Arcosa  common  stock  that  may  be  issued  under  the  Plan  is  4.8  million  shares,  which  includes  the  shares  granted  under  the 
Trinity equity incentive plans that were converted and assumed by Arcosa as a result of the Separation. 

At December 31, 2020, we had 1.9 million shares available for grant. Any equity awards that have been granted under the 
Plan that are subsequently forfeited, canceled, or tendered to satisfy tax withholding obligations are added back to the shares 
available for grant.

The cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments is referred to as share-based payments 
and  is  based  on  the  grant  date  fair-value  of  those  awards.  Stock-based  compensation  includes  compensation  expense, 
recognized  over  the  applicable  vesting  periods,  for  share-based  awards.  The  Company  recognizes  compensation  expense  for 
both  the  Arcosa  awards  and  Trinity  awards  held  by  our  employees.  Stock-based  compensation  totaled  $20.0  million,  $14.6 
million, and $9.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

The income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense was $2.6 million, $2.7 million, and $2.6 million for the 

years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

Equity Awards

Equity awards outstanding as of December 31, 2020 consist of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance units 
and generally vest for periods ranging from 1 to 15 years from the date of grant. Certain equity awards vest in their entirety 
upon the employee's retirement from the Company and may take into consideration the employee's age and years of service to 
the  Company,  as  defined  more  specifically  in  the  Company's  award  agreements.  Equity  awards  granted  to  non-employee 
directors under the Plan generally vest one year from the grant date and are released at that time, in the case of restricted stock, 
or  upon  completion  of  the  directors'  service  to  the  Company,  in  the  case  of  restricted  stock  units.  Expense  related  to  equity 
awards issued to eligible employees and directors under the Plan is recognized ratably over the vesting period or to the date on 
which retirement eligibility is achieved, if shorter. Performance units vest and settle in shares of our common stock following 
the  end  of  a  three-year  performance  period  contingent  upon  the  achievement  of  specific  performance  goals  during  the 
performance period and certification by the Human Resources Committee of the Board of the achievement of the performance 
goals.  Performance  units  are  granted  to  employees  based  upon  a  target  level  of  performance;  however,  depending  upon  the 
achievement of the performance goals during the performance period, performance units may be issued at an amount between 
0% and 200% of the target level. Expense related to performance units is recognized ratably over the vesting period. Forfeitures 
are recognized as reduction to expense in the period in which they occur.

At December 31, 2020, unrecognized compensation expense related to equity awards totaled $27.8 million, which will be 
recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. The total vesting-date fair value of shares vested and released during 
the year ended December 31, 2020 was $11.3 million.

Note 14. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic  earnings  per  common  share  is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  remaining  after  allocation  to  unvested  restricted 
shares,  which  includes  unvested  restricted  shares  of  Arcosa  stock  held  by  employees  of  the  Former  Parent,  by  the  weighted 
average  number  of  basic  common  shares  outstanding  for  the  period.  Except  when  the  effect  would  be  antidilutive,  the 
calculation  of  diluted  earnings  per  common  share  includes  the  weighted  average  net  impact  of  nonparticipating  unvested 
restricted shares. Total weighted average restricted shares were 1.7 million shares, 1.6 million shares, and 0.3 million shares, for 
the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies

The  Company  is  involved  in  claims  and  lawsuits  incidental  to  our  business  arising  from  various  matters  including 
commercial  disputes,  alleged  product  defect  and/or  warranty  claims,  intellectual  property  matters,  personal  injury  claims, 
environmental issues, employment and/or workplace-related matters, and various governmental regulations. At December 31, 
2020, the range of reasonably possible losses for such matters, taking into consideration our rights in indemnity and recourse to 
third parties is $0.3 million to $0.4 million.

 The Company evaluates its exposure to such claims and suits periodically and establishes accruals for these contingencies 
when probable losses can be reasonably estimated. At December 31, 2020, total accruals of $1.2 million are included in accrued 
liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company believes any additional liability from such claims 
and suits would not be material to its financial position or results of operations.

Arcosa is subject to remedial orders and federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment. 
The Company has reserved $1.2 million as of December 31, 2020 to cover our probable and estimable liabilities with respect to 
the investigations, assessments, and remedial responses to such matters, taking into account currently available information and 
our contractual rights to indemnification and recourse to third parties.

On July 22, 2019, the Company was served with a breach of contract lawsuit filed by Thomas & Betts Corporation (“T&B”) 
against  the  Company  and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Trinity  Meyer  Utility  Structures,  LLC,  now  known  as  Meyer  Utility 
Structures,  LLC  (“Meyer”),  in  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  State  of  New  York,  New  York  County.  T&B’s  claims  relate  to 
responsibility for alleged product warranty claims pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated June 24, 2014, 
entered  into  by  and  between  T&B  and  Meyer  with  respect  to  Meyer’s  purchase  of  certain  assets  of  T&B’s  utility  structure 
business. The Company and Meyer subsequently removed the litigation to federal court. The case is filed under Case No. 1:19-
cv-07829-PAE; Thomas & Betts Corporation, now known as, ABB Installation Products, Inc., Plaintiff, v. Trinity Meyer Utility 
Structures,  LLC,  formerly  known  as  McKinley  2014  Acquisition,  LLC,  and  Arcosa,  Inc.,  Defendants;  In  the  United  States 
District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). The Company and Meyer have filed a motion to dismiss 
T&B’s  claims,  and  an  Answer  and  Counterclaims  against  T&B.  On  July  30,  2020,  the  Court  granted  the  Company's  and 
Meyer's motion and dismissed T&B's claims. In its ruling, the Court likewise dismissed Meyer's counterclaims. On August 28, 
2020, T&B filed its Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On November 9, 2020, T&B 
filed its Appellant’s Brief with the Appellate Court. The Company and Meyer filed its Appellees’ Brief on February 8, 2021. 
We  intend  to  vigorously  defend  ourselves  in  the  subsequent  appeal  of  this  matter.  Based  on  the  facts  and  circumstances 
currently known to the Company, (i) we cannot determine that a loss is probable at this time, and therefore no accrual has been 
included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements; and (ii) a possible loss is not reasonably estimable.

Estimates  of  liability  arising  from  future  proceedings,  assessments,  or  remediation  are  inherently  imprecise.  Accordingly, 
there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings, including those related to 
the environment or, if we are found to be responsible or liable in any such litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be 
material to the Company.

Other commitments

Non-cancelable purchase obligations amounted to $179.7 million as of December 31, 2020, of which $132.6 million is for the 

purchase of raw materials and components, primarily by the Engineered Structures and Transportation Products segments.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The  Company  maintains  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  designed  to  ensure  that  it  is  able  to  collect  and  record  the 
information  it  is  required  to  disclose  in  the  reports  it  files  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (“SEC”),  and  to 
process,  summarize,  and  disclose  this  information  within  the  time  periods  specified  in  the  rules  of  the  SEC.  The  Company's 
Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining these procedures and, as required 
by  the  rules  of  the  SEC,  evaluating  their  effectiveness.  Based  on  their  evaluation  of  the  Company's  disclosure  controls  and 
procedures that took place as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers 
believe that these procedures are effective to 1) ensure that the Company is able to collect, process, and disclose the information 
it  is  required  to  disclose  in  the  reports  it  files  with  the  SEC  within  the  required  time  periods  and  2)  accumulate  and 
communicate  this  information  to  the  Company's  management,  including  its  Chief  Executive  and  Chief  Financial  Officers,  to 
allow timely decisions regarding this disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined 
in  Rules  13a-15(f)  under  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934.  Our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  designed  to 
provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for 
external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements. 
Therefore,  even  those  systems  determined  to  be  effective  can  provide  only  reasonable  assurance,  as  opposed  to  absolute 
assurance, of achieving their internal control objectives.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making 
this  assessment,  management  used  the  criteria  set  forth  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway 
Commission  (the  2013  Framework)  (“COSO”)  in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework.  Based  on  our  assessment,  we 
believe that, as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

As  permitted  by  the  SEC  Staff  interpretive  guidance  for  recently  acquired  businesses,  management's  assessment  and 
conclusion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company's  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  as  of  December  31,  2020  excludes  an 
assessment  of  the  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  of  the  businesses  acquired  in  during  the  twelve  months  ended 
December 31, 2020. Cherry represented approximately 13% of consolidated total assets and approximately 9% of consolidated 
revenues as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. All other business acquired during the year and excluded from our 
assessment  of  internal  controls  represented  approximately  6%  of  consolidated  total  assets  and  approximately  2%  of 
consolidated revenues as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated and Combined 
Financial Statements. 

The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, has been audited by Ernst & Young 
LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also audited our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. 
Ernst & Young LLP's attestation report on effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting follows.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

During  the  three  months  ended  December  31,  2020,  there  have  been  no  changes  in  the  Company’s  internal  control  over 
financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over 
financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Arcosa, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We  have  audited  Arcosa,  Inc.  and  subsidiaries’  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2020,  based  on 
criteria  established  in  Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the 
Treadway  Commission  (2013  framework)  (the  COSO  criteria).  In  our  opinion,  Arcosa,  Inc.  and  subsidiaries  (the  Company) 
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the 
COSO criteria.

As  indicated  in  the  accompanying  “Management’s  Report  on  Internal  Control  over  Financial  Reporting,”  management’s 
assessment  of  and  conclusion  on  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  did  not  include  the  internal 
controls of the businesses acquired during the year ended December 31, 2020. Cherry Industries, Inc. constituted approximately 
13%  and  9%  of  total  assets  and  total  revenues  as  of  and  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2020,  respectively.  All  other 
businesses acquired during the year constituted approximately 6% and 2% of total assets and total revenues as of and for the 
year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not 
include  an  evaluation  of  the  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  of  these  businesses  acquired  during  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2020.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated and 
combined statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in 
the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and our report dated February 25, 2021 expressed an unqualified 
opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The  Company’s  management  is  responsible  for  maintaining  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  and  for  its 
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report 
on  Internal  Control  over  Financial  Reporting.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  Company’s  internal  control 
over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be 
independent  with  respect  to  the  Company  in  accordance  with  the  U.S.  federal  securities  laws  and  the  applicable  rules  and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  maintained  in  all 
material respects. 

Our  audit  included  obtaining  an  understanding  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  assessing  the  risk  that  a  material 
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and 
performing  such  other  procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances.  We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  is  a  process  designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the 
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally 
accepted  accounting  principles.  A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  includes  those  policies  and  procedures 
that  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and 
dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit 
preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  and  that  receipts  and 
expenditures  of  the  company  are  being  made  only  in  accordance  with  authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the 
company;  and  (3)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of  unauthorized  acquisition,  use,  or 
disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

80

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect  misstatements.  Also, 
projections  of  any  evaluation  of  effectiveness  to  future  periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  controls  may  become  inadequate 
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
