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 pandemic, our
plants have continued to operate throughout the crisis, and we have seen better than anticipated demand in some
sectors.
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 free of charge
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.
Long-Term Vision. We are united in our shared purpose to fulfill the four pillars of our long-term vision.
Overview. Arcosa's three segments are made up of leading businesses that serve critical infrastructure markets:
3
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 Financial Statements.
Construction Products.
Products
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.
•
•
Natural Aggregates: We are an established producer and distributor of natural aggregates serving both
public infrastructure and private construction markets and operate in Texas, our largest geographic
exposure, and 8 other states. We manage the business from the four regions of Texas (including Arkansas
and Oklahoma), the Ohio River Valley, the Gulf Coast, and the West. We operate primarily from open pit
quarries and have one underground mine. Our natural aggregates products include sand, gravel, limestone,
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.
During 2021, we expanded our natural aggregates platform through two large acquisitions. In April 2021, we
completed the acquisition of StonePoint Ultimate Holding, LLC and affiliated entities (collectively
“StonePoint”), a top 25 U.S. construction aggregates company, which expanded our footprint in Texas and
the Gulf Coast and provided entry into new geographic markets in Tennessee and the Ohio River Valley. In
August 2021, we completed the acquisition of Southwest Rock Products, LLC and affiliated entities
(collectively “Southwest Rock”), a leading Arizona pure-play aggregates producer, which provided scaled
entry into the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Recycled Aggregates: Recycled aggregates are a complement to our natural aggregates platform and are
produced by crushing concrete reclaimed from demolished highways, buildings, and other structures. The
raw product material is processed to remove steel, rebar, shingles, and other debris, and screened to
appropriate sizes for use as a road base, erosion control for building foundations, and as a backfill for utility
trenches. Recycled aggregates currently supply a small percentage of total aggregates supplied nationwide.
We believe the supply of recycled aggregates will continue to grow in use due to resource scarcity and
associated environment, social, and governance (“ESG”) benefits, reduced disposal and acceptance of
concrete in landfills, and energy savings from less processing and transportation costs. Recycled
aggregates are a substitute to natural aggregates, primarily for hard rock uses.
4
We added recycled aggregates to our portfolio in January 2020 with the acquisition of Cherry Industries,
Inc. and affiliated entities (collectively "Cherry"), a leading producer of natural and recycled aggregates with
multiple stationary crushing locations and portable on-site crushing capabilities across the Houston, Texas
market. 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. In April 2021, we completed a small bolt-on acquisition which further expanded our
recycled aggregates business in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.
Specialty Materials: Our specialty materials, including lightweight aggregates, select natural aggregates,
and milled or processed specialty building products and agricultural products, are produced and distributed
nationwide. We currently operate in ten states and British Columbia, with several of our production facilities
operating at the quarries that produce the raw material inputs, which include shale, clay, limestone, and
gypsum. 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, cement, energy infrastructure, and other products.
Construction Site Support: 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. Additionally, we participate in certain regional rental markets for trench shoring
equipment.
•
•
Markets
Over a multi-year horizon, we believe that approximately half of our current portfolio of construction materials are
used in infrastructure projects. The other half of our construction materials demand is split across residential, non-
residential, and specialty/other end markets.
•
•
•
•
Infrastructure Construction: Infrastructure construction includes construction spending by federal, state,
and local governments for roads, highways, bridges, airports, and other public infrastructure, as well as
private spending on road and utility construction. Public infrastructure spending is typically supported by
federal and state legislation and programs. On December 4, 2015, the Fixing America's Surface
Transportation Act ("FAST Act") was signed into law. The FAST Act authorized $305 billion of public
infrastructure funding from 2016 to 2020. It was subsequently extended to provide an additional $13.6
billion in 2021. On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act ("IIJA") was signed into
law, which provides approximately $350 billion for federal highway programs from 2022 through 2026 by
extending many of the programs in the FAST Act at higher funding levels, as well as supplemental funding
for roads, bridges, and other major projects. Most of this funding is apportioned to states, based on
formulas specified in the IIJA and provides funding through a wide range of competitive grant programs. On
December 15, 2021, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration announced it
would provide funding of $52.5 billion to states in 2022, representing a 20% increase compared to 2021.
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 activities
such as drilling pads, roads and major downstream projects, agriculture/horticulture, and industrial uses.
5
In 2021, we had shipments of approximately 34 million tons of aggregates and specialty materials, including
approximately 4 million tons of recycled aggregates. Texas is our largest geographic market, representing
approximately 50% of the segment's revenues in 2021. 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 in the near-term, with current fiscal year planned Texas
Department of Transportation lettings up 7% to approximately $10.2 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 17% in Texas in 2021 compared to the
previous year. Non-residential construction activity, while currently negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic
and supply chain delays, generally follows a strong residential construction cycle on a lagged basis.
Customers and Competitors
For natural and recycled aggregates and specialty materials, 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 5,000 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 current market positions or enter new markets.
Our specialty materials products enjoy higher barriers to entry than our natural aggregates due to specific mineral
properties, specialized manufacturing, or additional processing. 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. We compete with specialty materials producers nationwide.
For trench shields and shoring products, our customers are equipment rental dealers and commercial, residential,
and industrial contractors. 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 record of
accomplishment 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 1.2 billion 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.”
Recycled aggregates are not dependent on reserves and the primary raw material 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 material needs
through demolition services that we provide and source the remainder in competitive markets 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 which allow recycling activities and
the strategic location of our stationary crushing sites are competitive advantages.

Engineered Structures.
Products
Through wholly owned subsidiaries, our Engineered Structures segment primarily manufactures and sells steel
structures 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. 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.
•
Utility Structures: 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. 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 organically grow
this business.
• Wind Towers: We are one of the leading manufacturers of structural wind towers in the U.S. and Mexico
with plants strategically located in wind-rich regions of North America.
•
•
•
Traffic Structures: We manufacture steel traffic structures for use on the U.S. highway and road system.
We have two manufacturing plants serving Florida and adjacent states. Our products include overhead steel
sign structures, tolling gantry structures, mast and sign arms, and other custom solutions.
Telecommunication Structures: We manufacture telecom structures, including self-supporting lattice
towers, monopole towers, and guyed towers. We have one manufacturing plant in Oklahoma and have the
capability to manufacture telecom structures in our other Engineered Structures plants.
Storage Tanks: We are one of the primary manufacturers in North America of pressurized and non-
pressurized steel 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.
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, energy, 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, and telecommunication infrastructure, and the replacement and growth
of the U.S. highway and road system.
Our utility structures business is well-positioned to benefit from significant investment in utility infrastructure. There
is strong demand for transmission and distribution structures across the U.S. as much of the utility infrastructure has
aged and needs replacement. Global concerns regarding emissions have increased consumer demand for
electricity. Upgrades to utility structures are needed to support larger equipment that are required to withstand
growing load demand and to allow for connectivity of the grid to renewable energy sources. The IIJA, enacted in
November 2021, provides $73 billion in additional federal funding to support the investment needed in the U.S.
power grid.
7
Demand for new wind energy projects in the U.S. has been supported by the Renewable Electricity 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 subsequent years, the PTC
was further extended and revised to include qualifying wind projects on which construction began in 2020 and 2021
at a 60% credit. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service generally allows four years from the start of construction of the
wind project to its in-service date for the project to be eligible for the credit. As a result, under the most recent
extension, the PTC supports new onshore 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. Although the PTC has not been extended or renewed for new wind projects commencing in
2022 or beyond, various proposals in the U.S. Congress include renewal or expansion of the PTC. 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 believe we are well-positioned to benefit from healthy public infrastructure spending in Florida and adjacent
states and have opportunities to grow organically into new geographies as well. Additionally, we believe we are well-
positioned to benefit from continued spending on the buildout of 5G and other wireless networks in North America.
We anticipate that the IIJA will be supportive for these businesses as well due to the increased level of highway
spending and the provision for $65 billion in additional federal funding for broadband infrastructure.
Customers and Competitors
Through our recognized brands in our utility structures business, 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.
Within our wind towers business, our primary customers are wind turbine producers. We compete with both
domestic and foreign producers of towers. Revenues from General Electric Company (“GE”) included in our
Engineered Structures segment constituted 9.5%, 15.3%, and 18.2% of consolidated revenues for the years ended
December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
Our traffic structures business primarily sells to U.S. state Departments of Transportation and highway contractors
typically in a competitive-bid market.
Our telecom structures business sells to wireless communication carriers and third-party tower lessors and
developers.
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.
Raw Materials and Suppliers
The principal material used in our Engineered Structures segment is steel. During 2021, the supply of steel was
sufficient to support our manufacturing requirements. After rising sharply in the fourth quarter of 2020, market steel
prices during 2021 continued to increase throughout the year, reaching historic highs. 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 our existing contracts and other relationships with multiple suppliers
will meet our current production forecasts.

Transportation Products.
Products
Through wholly owned subsidiaries, our Transportation Products segment manufactures and sells inland barges,
fiberglass barge covers, winches, 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.
•
•
Inland Barges: 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, deck barges, and
fiberglass covers, and 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. Deck barges are used for transportation of heavy, oversized cargo and
construction support. Our fiberglass reinforced lift covers are used primarily for grain barges.
Steel Components: 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 provide cast
components for use in the industrial and mining sectors.
Markets
Our Transportation Products segment consists of established companies that supply manufactured steel products
to the transportation industry.
Our inland barge business serves numerous end-markets through a base of established transportation customers
who support the transportation of staple commodities such as grain, coal, aggregates, chemicals, fertilizers,
petrochemicals, and refined products. The dry and liquid barge replacement cycles are expected to remain
fundamentally strong, despite recent declines, as investments in the aging barge fleet over the last 5 to 6 years
have been below long-term average replacement rates (with the exception of 2019 for liquid barges). Approximately
35% of the hopper fleet and 25% of the tank fleet are more than 20 years old. The replacement of these fleets is
expected to drive healthy demand based on an assumed 25 to 30-year useful life. In the dry barge industry,
scrapping has exceeded new builds every year since 2016 suggesting a strong deferred replacement cycle that we
expect will be supported by a recovery in agriculture once plate steel prices normalize after increasing sharply in
late fourth quarter 2020 through 2021. The liquid barge industry is poised to benefit from expected growth in the
U.S. petrochemical industry and difficulty in new pipeline permitting and construction.
Our steel component business primarily serves the North American railcar industry, both the new car and
maintenance markets, as well as various mining and industrial markets. Our steel components business has faced
challenging market conditions as new railcar production has been in decline over the past few years. However, this
market is showing signs of recovery as new railcar deliveries are expected to increase in 2022.
Customers and Competitors
Our barge manufacturing facilities are located along the U.S. inland river systems, which allows for rapid delivery
to our customers. Our inland barge customers are primarily commercial marine transportation companies, lessors,
and industrial shippers. While we compete with several other manufacturers in the U.S., we hold a majority share of
the inland barge manufacturing market. We believe we are well-positioned to benefit from the expected fleet
replacement cycle in both dry and liquid barges.
Our customers for our steel components businesses 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 2021, the supply of steel was
sufficient to support our manufacturing requirements. After rising sharply in the fourth quarter of 2020, market steel
prices during 2021 continued to increase throughout the year, reaching historic highs. 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.
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations (Backlog). As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, our backlog of firm

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 2021.
10
In 2019, we launched a reenergized safety initiative, ARC 100, to build a positive and proactively engaged culture
of safety excellence. ARC 100 is inspired by the voices of frontline employees, driven by cross-functional teams,
and actively supported by visible commitment from senior leaders. During 2021, Arcosa experienced progress in
reducing safety incidents as a result of a continued focus on building a strong safety culture through its ARC 100
safety initiative.
The outbreak and continuance of the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical importance of focusing on
the health and wellness 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, with the goal of protecting our
employees. In 2021, Arcosa continued to monitor and implement safeguards, 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 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, with notable action in 2021:
• Elected Kimberly Lubel and Julie Piggott to serve on the Company's Board of Directors
• Named Gail Peck Chief Financial Officer
• Established WE~AR: Women of Arcosa as Arcosa's first Employee Resource Group
• Completed our employee Cultural Climate Engagement Survey to better understand the needs of our
workforce
• Provided Blind Spots Training to employees to foster a culture of inclusion and diversity
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.
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 several 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.
11
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.
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 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,
including its variants, 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,
closure from a COVID-19 outbreak within the facility, or closure for other COVID-19 related reason 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 or could be 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 number of employees who contract or are directly exposed to
COVID-19 and their availability to work in our plants and facilities; the ability to retain employees in light of possible
employee responses to potential COVID-19 employer or government mandated mitigation policies; 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; the availability of COVID-19 testing supplies; 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; the impact of new
COVID-19 variants; 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
14
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.
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.
Arcosa operates in highly competitive industries. Arcosa may not be able to sustain its market
positions, which may impact its financial results.
Arcosa faces intense 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 other 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.
Moreover, manufacturing facilities or other 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
15
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.
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.
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 and Arcosa's ability to deliver products on time or at all to its customers can also be affected in any period by
public holidays, vacation periods, and 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. For example, the February 2021 winter storm in Texas and the broader Southern
United States impacted our Q1 2021 performance and increased wet weather impacted our Q2 2021 performance.
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.
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.
16
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.
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. 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.
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 and local zoning
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.
Any of these factors could significantly harm our potential business or international expansion and our operations.
Arcosa's margins may be affected as a result of inflation.
Arcosa's margins may be negatively impacted by increased costs resulting from inflationary pressures in the
market. Under varying circumstances, Arcosa may take actions to minimize these inflationary risks, but such efforts
may not be effective in mitigating the impact on Arcosa's margins.
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 using 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 9.5% of our consolidated
revenues in 2021 down from 15.3% of 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.
17
In addition, any merger or acquisition into which Arcosa may enter is subject to known and unknown risks of such
business, new lines of business, markets, downturn of such markets, and/or products and integrating such
business, regulatory compliance or zoning requirements, financial systems, markets, and/or products into Arcosa’s
businesses and culture. For example, the recent acquisitions of StonePoint and Southwest Rock bring new lines of
businesses to Arcosa, including asphalt production, and expose Arcosa to new geographic markets. 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.
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.
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.
Acquisitions or divestitures may bring known and unknown risks to Arcosa, and Arcosa may fail to realize
all of the anticipated benefits of the acquisitions or divestitures or those benefits may be delayed.
Arcosa has grown through acquisitions. Arcosa’s anticipated benefits from acquisitions may not be realized. A
downturn in the new markets brought with acquisitions could have a disproportionate adverse impact on the
acquired company’s business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations. An element of Arcosa’s
long-term strategy is to reduce the complexity and cyclicality of the overall business, which may result in divestitures
which have known and unknown risks. Some or all of Arcosa’s anticipated benefits from any divestiture, like further
simplification of Arcosa’s business, may not be realized. If any of these divestiture-related risks occur, they could
result in a material adverse effect on Arcosa’s business, liquidity and financial condition, or results of operations.
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. At this time, there is no PTC for new
wind farm projects commencing in 2022 and beyond. 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 there is uncertainty around the continued
extension of an expiring PTC, customer orders for wind towers may decrease. 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.
Arcosa is a party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among
Arcosa, as borrower, and the lenders party thereto and the Indenture by and among Arcosa, certain of its
subsidiaries which are guarantors and the trustee (the "Indenture") pursuant to which $400 million of 4.375% senior
notes due 2029 (the "Senior Notes") (the Credit Agreement, Indenture and Senior Notes, collectively, the “Financing
Documents”) were issued. The Financing Documents contain a number of covenants potentially restricting the
operations and financial condition of Arcosa and certain of its subsidiaries. These covenants could have an adverse
18
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.
For more information on the restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement and the Indenture, 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.
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. In the U.S., the Alternative Reference
Rates Committee has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as its preferred alternative to
LIBOR. 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, including, but not limited to SOFR, 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.
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, recycled 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 and increased steel prices could negatively impact demand for Arcosa's products. 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.
Community engagement and maintaining good relations within the communities that we operate is important to
retaining and securing permits. 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. The success and
viability of Arcosa's recycled aggregates operation depends on Arcosa's success in procuring supply stock for
19
processing recycled materials into recycled aggregates. The inability to maintain and secure locations and permits
for recycled aggregates 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 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 or professional labor could adversely impact Arcosa’s operations.
Arcosa depends on professional labor across its businesses and 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 to labor unions and strikes or work stoppages could adversely affect
Arcosa’s operations.
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 and 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.
20
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.
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. Any failure to maintain safe
work sites or violations of applicable health and safety standards and laws, including those related to COVID-19,
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.
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 2021, Arcosa began operating an underground limestone mine in
Pennsylvania, which involves unique potential environmental and safety risks and hazards inherent to underground
21
mining operations. This 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.
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
increased 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
22
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, the impact of inflation on principal raw material prices, including
steel prices with respect to the order of new barges, 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.
Additionally, the inflationary pressures on principal raw material prices, like steel, may result in a delay in orders
from Arcosa's customers, including but not limited to, a customer's decision to place or delay orders for new barges
due to fluctuations in the price of steel. 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 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 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 local, U.S. federal, and international
government fiscal policies, tax incentives and other subsidies, and other general macroeconomic and political
factors. 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 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
23
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 components from suppliers, our 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. 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. 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. The ability of Arcosa to insure
against the risks described in this Item 1A is limited by the applicable insurance markets, which may be costly,
unavailable or inadequate. Arcosa’s inability to secure adequate insurance could increase Arcosa’s risk exposure
and operational expenses and disrupt the management of its business operations.
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. 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 these risks. 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, whether with Arcosa or a third party, 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 as well as unauthorized access to the confidential data, ransomware, malware, phishing emails, and other
electronic security events involving third parties with which we do business. 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
24
employ several measures to prevent, detect, and mitigate these threats, there is no guarantee such efforts will be
successful in preventing a cyber event or that any third parties with which we do business will be successful in
preventing a cyber event. There is increased risk related to remote working and the potential increased
cybersecurity vulnerability related to remote work. 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 by negatively affecting 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.
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 be costly or may not meet the public sentiments of our stockholders and others
with respect to our ESG practices and related public disclosures.
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; diversity, equity, and inclusion ("DEI") initiatives; and heightened governance standards could result in a
negative perception by our stockholders or misrepresentation of Arcosa’s ESG goals and progress. Arcosa’s inability
to achieve satisfactory progress on its ESG initiatives, like climate change related initiatives, reduced emissions,
DEI efforts, and improved safety, 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 resulting from difficulty in
finding comparable companies and accurately valuing 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 14, 2022, we had a total of 48.3 million shares of our common stock issued
and outstanding.
25
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, access to the capital markets, and other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant.
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 residual value
of Arcosa common stock.
Certain provisions in Arcosa’s restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws
("Arcosa’s Governing Documents"), and of Delaware law, may prevent or delay an acquisition of Arcosa,
which could decrease the trading price of the common stock.
Arcosa’s Governing Documents 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.
Arcosa’s Governing Documents 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 Governing Documents 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. 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.
Risks Related to the Separation.
Trinity may fail to perform under various transaction agreements that were executed as part of the
Separation.
Third parties could seek to hold Arcosa responsible for liabilities that Trinity has agreed to retain under the
separation and distribution agreement and other agreements, and there can be no assurance that the indemnity
26
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. Trinity or its insurer's
failure to perform under the separation and distribution agreements could result in substantial losses to Arcosa.
Arcosa may be subject to certain contingent liabilities of Trinity following the Separation.
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.
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. Such tax amounts could be significant, and Arcosa’s exposure through its
indemnification obligations under the tax matters agreement not being subject to any cap could be significant.
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 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
27
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 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. See Note 15 “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional
information on the Company’s current litigation.
The use of social and other digital media (including websites, blogs and newsletters) to disseminate
negative, false, misleading and/or unreliable or inaccurate data and information about our Company 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 in negative unsubstantiated claims concerning the Company in general, our products, or our reputation
which could reflect 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 - Overview
Information concerning the Company’s mining properties has been prepared in accordance with the requirements
of Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”), which first became applicable to the Company for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2021. These requirements differ from the previously applicable disclosure requirements of
SEC Industry Guide 7. Among other differences, S-K 1300 requires the Company to disclose its mineral resources
in addition to its proven and probable mineral reserves, as of the end of their most recently completed fiscal year
both in the aggregate and for each of their individually material mining properties. As of December 31, 2021, the
Company did not have any individually material mining properties.
The terms “mineral resource,” “measured mineral resource,” “indicated mineral resource,” “inferred mineral
resource,” “mineral reserve,” “proven mineral reserve,” and “probable mineral reserve,” whether singular or plural,
are defined and used in accordance with S-K 1300. Under S-K 1300, mineral resources may not be classified as
“mineral reserves” unless the determination has been made by a qualified person that the mineral resources can be
the basis of an economically viable project.
The Company’s estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources are determined internally by competent
professionals, including engineers and geologists. These estimates are based on geologic data, mineral ownership
information, and current or proposed operating plans. Our mineral reserves are proven and probable reserves that
could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination, considering grade
and quality of the minerals and all material modifying factors. These estimates are periodically updated to reflect
past mining production, updated mine plans, new exploration information, and other geologic or mining data.
Acquisitions or dispositions of mining properties will also change these estimates. Changes in mining or processing
methods may increase or decrease the recovery basis for the estimates. The ability to update or modify the
estimates of our mineral reserves is restricted to competent geologists and mining engineers and material
modifications are documented. Our estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources, and supporting
information, have been assessed by the John T. Boyd Company, a qualified person, which is unaffiliated with the
Company and conforms to the requirements under S-K 1300 for qualified persons.

Mining Properties
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we produced 29.7 million tons of natural aggregates and specialty
materials from our mining and processing operations located in the United States and Canada, all of which, we
believe, have adequate road and/or railroad access. The Company reports its mining operations primarily through
the following commodity groupings:
Natural Aggregates – includes operations which specialize in the production of sand, gravel, limestone, and
stabilized material. Our aggregates operations are grouped into the “Texas” (including Arkansas and Oklahoma) and
“All Other” geographic regions and shipments 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.
Specialty Materials – includes operations which produce lightweight aggregates, select natural aggregates, and
milled or processed specialty building products and agricultural products. Since specialty materials have a much
wider, multi-state distribution area due to their higher value relative to their distribution costs as compared to natural
aggregates, we do not group our specialty materials operations by geographic region.
Our active operations as of December 31, 2021 included 48 that produce and distribute natural aggregates and
13 that produce, process, and distribute specialty materials. In addition to our active operations, we control interests
in 22 inactive and greenfield (undeveloped) mining properties. We also own and operate recycled aggregates (i.e.,
recycled concrete products) facilities which are not dependent on mineral reserves.
The following map illustrates the locations of our active mining operations as of December 31, 2021, excluding
stand-alone processing facilities.

Our active mining operations include 60 surface mines and one underground mine. The operations extract
materials from surficial or near-surface alluvial and bedrock deposits. Mining methods utilized at our surface
operations include conventional truck/shovel excavation and dredge mining. Our single underground mine in
Pennsylvania utilizes mechanized room-and-pillar mining methods.
Processing operations to produce sand and gravel and crushed stone consist of mechanized crushing, washing,
and sizing. Stabilized sand is mixed in a pug mill. Specialty materials may be subjected to additional processing –
such as milling and grinding, roasting (in kilns), and/or pelletizing – depending on the product specifications. The
following table summarizes, by major commodity group, the annual production history over the preceding three
years for our mining properties:

Our ownership or leasehold interest in our mining properties – both active and undeveloped – is 100%. Rights to
mine the properties is controlled through our ownership in fee and/or long-term lease agreements with third parties.
Our mining operations are subject to a wide range of laws, ordinances, and regulations and require various
governmental approvals and permits. Federal, state, and local authorities regulate the operations with respect to
matters such as employee health and safety, permitting and licensing requirements, air quality standards, water
quality standards, plant and wildlife protection, the reclamation and restoration of mining properties after mining has
been completed, the discharge of materials into the environment, surface subsidence from underground mining, and
the effects of mining on groundwater quality and availability. We have obtained all material permits currently
required to conduct our present mining operations.
Mineral Reserves
We controlled an estimated 1.2 billion tons of mineral reserves as of December 31, 2021. Reported mineral
reserves include only quantities that are owned in fee or under lease – approximately 514 million tons or 42% are
located on owned land and 704 million tons or 58% are located on leased land.
Our mineral reserves, on average, represent approximately 30 years at current production levels within the natural
aggregates business and over 90 years at current production levels within the specialty materials business.
However, certain operations may have more limited reserves and may not be able to expand. Approximately 1
billion tons or 81% of the reported mineral reserves are attributable to active mining operations.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s estimated proven and probable mineral reserves by major commodity
group and geographic region are as follows:

Quantities of mineral reserves were estimated from geologic analysis of exploration results and the application of
economic and mining parameters appropriate to the individual deposits. Estimated mineral reserves have been
adjusted to account for anticipated process dilutions and losses during mining and processing involved in producing
saleable products. Economic viability of the reported mineral reserves has been demonstrated using three-year
trailing average product prices on a per-property basis.
Mineral Resources
We controlled an estimated 127.5 million tons of mineral resources as of December 31, 2021, exclusive of our
reported mineral reserves. The following table summarizes our mineral resources by major commodity group and
geographic region as of December 31, 2021:

Our inferred mineral resources have been estimated on the basis of limited geologic evidence. Mineral resources,
that are not mineral reserves, do not have a demonstrated economic viability at this time; however, of the 89.0
million tons of inferred mineral resources, 43.9 million tons or 49% are attributable to 10 active mining operations.

Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated 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.
Potential Impact of COVID-19 on our Business
Our highest priority is the health and safety of our employees and communities. We are committed to safety
across our operations. Our businesses support critical infrastructure sectors and our plants have continued to
operate throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. If one or more of Arcosa’s facilities become subject to governmental
ordered closure, voluntary temporary closure, closure from a COVID-19 outbreak within the facility, or other
COVID-19 related reason the business, liquidity and financial condition, and results of operations for Arcosa could
be adversely affected.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted global trade, commerce, financial and credit markets, and daily life
throughout the world. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, liquidity and financial
condition, and results of operations 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 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; if key personnel are unable to perform their duties or have limited availability; the number of
employees who contract or are directly exposed to COVID-19 and their availability to work in our plants and
facilities; the ability to retain employees; the ability of our customers to pay for our products and services; any
disruption in our supply chain; the ability to procure personal protective equipment; the availability of COVID-19
testing supplies; our ability to continue operations in compliance with COVID-19 related regulations; any closures of
our and our customers’ facilities; increased cybersecurity and IT infrastructure risks; the impact on the health and
safety of our employees; the impact on the demand for commodities served by our products and services; the
impact of new COVID-19 variants; and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, as well as,
the response to a potential reoccurrence.
We strive to continuously improve our procedures, processes, and management systems regarding employee
health and safety. The continuance of the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the critical importance of focusing on
the health and wellness of our employees. We have followed the federal, state, and local guidelines governing our
facilities and shared best practices across the organization, with the goal of protecting our employees and
communities. We continue to monitor and implement guidelines and best practices for COVID-19 mitigation
procedures.
35
In addition to the extensive health and safety protocols already in place across our plants, we estimate that we
are incurring less than $1 million per quarter of incremental costs related to COVID-19 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 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 as construction activity in Texas has remained resilient, when
seasonal weather conditions have been normal, and other states have reopened for business. We did experience
a softening of demand for our specialty materials and shoring products businesses beginning in 2020 following
the outbreak. Our shoring products business and lightweight aggregates business within specialty materials
recovered to pre-pandemic demand levels in 2021, while other areas of specialty materials have shown signs of
improvement. 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.
• Within our Engineered Structures segment, our backlog as of December 31, 2021 provides a healthy level of
production visibility into 2022. 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. The demand outlook for traffic and telecom structures also remains positive. In the third
quarter, we received wind tower orders of $174 million providing a base level of production visibility for 2022.
Long-term expectations for the wind industry are favorable; however, uncertainty pertaining to the level of PTC
support and high steel prices are negatively impacting near-term expectations. In the fourth quarter, we idled our
Clinton, Illinois wind tower facility in anticipation of lower volumes in 2022. Order and inquiry activity in the storage
tank business is very strong, after taking a pause initially at the onset of COVID-19 as certain customers deferred
new tank installations.
• Within our Transportation Products segment, our backlog for inland barges as of December 31, 2021 is $92.7
million, approximately 73% lower than the backlog level at first quarter 2020 during the onset of the pandemic and
provides a low base level of production visibility into 2022. Our customers remain committed to taking delivery of
these orders. Barge order levels fell sharply in the second and third quarters of 2020 at the onset of the pandemic
and remained low throughout 2021. Utilization levels and market conditions for our liquid barge customers
improved throughout 2021 as demand for refined products improved, U.S. refinery utilization rates increased, and
oil prices recovered, but remained below pre-pandemic levels. The underlying fundamentals for a dry barge
replacement cycle remain in place as the fleet continues to age, new builds have not kept pace with scrapping,
and utilization rates are high. However, a sharp and sustained increase in steel prices since the end of 2020
negatively impacted new order levels in 2021 and the near-term outlook for dry barge demand. To align with lower
expected production levels in 2022, we have reduced our capacity in our two active barge operating plants and
completed the idling of our Madisonville, Louisiana facility in the fourth quarter of 2021 to further reduce our cost
structure. We continue to remain flexible to allow time for fundamentals to recover. Demand for steel components,
which was softening pre-COVID-19 due to a weakening North American rail transportation market, remains
depressed but is showing early signs of recovery as the outlook for the new railcar market is improving.
Financial Operations and Highlights
Executive Overview
• Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased 5.2% to $2.0 billion compared to the year ended
December 31, 2020 due to higher revenues in Construction Products and Engineered Structures partially offset by
decreased volumes in Transportation Products.
• Operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2021 of $107.3 million decreased $44.5 million compared to the
year ended December 31, 2020 as increased volumes in Construction Products and improved margins in our
storage tank and utility structures businesses in Engineered Structures were offset by a $48.2 million decrease in
Transportation Products related to lower volumes and margins.
36
• Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 14.7% for the year ended December 31, 2021, when
compared to the prior year largely due to additional costs from acquired businesses in Construction Products and
higher legal and acquisition and integration related expenses in corporate costs.
• The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021 was 16.7% compared to 22.9% for the year ended
December 31, 2020. See Note 10, “Income Taxes” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
• Net income for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $69.6 million compared with $106.6 million for the year
ended December 31, 2020.

• Operating costs increased 8.1%.
• Cost of revenues for Construction Products increased primarily due to higher volumes from acquired businesses,
including the cost impact of the fair market value write-up of acquired inventory and additional depreciation,
depletion, and amortization expense.
• Cost of revenues for Engineered Structures increased primarily due to higher volumes in our utility structures
business, as well as higher steel prices.
• Cost of revenues for Transportation Products decreased primarily due to lower volumes in our inland barge
business.
• Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased primarily due to the acquisition of StonePoint and other recent
acquisitions, including the fair value mark up of long-lived assets.
• As a percentage of revenue, selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021
was 12.6% compared to 11.5% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is largely due to additional
costs from acquired businesses in Construction Products and higher corporate costs due to a legal settlement in
the fourth quarter and higher acquisition-related transaction and integration costs.
38
2020 versus 2019
• Operating costs increased 12.6%.
• The increase in our Construction Products segment was primarily due to higher volumes from the acquired Cherry
business.
• Operating costs for the Engineered Structures segment increased primarily due to higher volumes in utility
structures and sales from our acquired traffic and telecom structures businesses.
• Operating costs for the Transportation Products segment decreased primarily due to improved operating
efficiencies in our barge business.
• Total selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 24.3% largely due to additional costs from the
acquired Cherry business and other current year acquisitions, as well as increased corporate costs. As a
percentage of revenue, selling, general, and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020
was 11.5% compared to 10.3% for the year ended December 31, 2019.

• Other, net expense due to foreign currency exchange transactions increased by $2.1 million in 2020 primarily
driven by the volatility in the U.S. dollar to Mexican peso exchange rate throughout 2020 which largely stabilized
in 2021.
Income Taxes
The income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $14.0 million, $31.6
million, and $33.5 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and
2019 was 16.7%, 22.9%, and 22.8%, 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. The reduction in our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021 was largely due to
true-ups of apportionment rates impacting prior year state current and deferred taxes. For a reconciliation of the
federal tax rate to our effective tax rate, see Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
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
2020 were paid during the third quarter of 2020. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has deferred $5.4 million
in payroll-related taxes in accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act that we expect to pay during the year
ended December 31, 2022.
See Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of income taxes.

• Revenues increased 34.2% primarily due to StonePoint and other recent acquisitions, which on a combined basis
increased segment revenues by approximately 25%. The additional increase in revenues was driven by strong
demand for construction aggregates despite numerous weather-related challenges in the first half of the year,
partially offset by reduced shipments to oil and gas markets. Revenues from our trench shoring business
increased 32.7%, above pre-pandemic levels, due to higher steel prices and improved demand conditions as
COVID-related construction delays improved.
• Cost of revenues increased 38.7% due to higher volumes from the acquired businesses and strong demand in our
legacy businesses. Cost of revenues also increased due to a $4.7 million increase in the amortization of the fair
value mark up of acquired inventory as well as higher depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense from
acquired businesses. As a percent of revenues, cost of revenues in our legacy businesses, excluding
depreciation, depletion, and amortization, were mostly in line with the prior year despite higher fuel prices and
other inflationary-related increases.
• Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 31.4% due to additional costs from acquired businesses.
As a percentage of revenues, selling, general, and administrative costs in the legacy businesses declined as
legacy costs were substantially unchanged from the previous year.
• Operating profit increased by 11.4%, driven by increased volumes in the second half of the year which offset the
impact of Winter Storm Uri in the first quarter, and excessive rainfall in the second quarter. Excluding the impact of
the fair value mark up of acquired inventory and the impairment charge recognized in the prior year, operating
profit increased approximately 15%.
• Depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense increased primarily due to StonePoint and other recently
acquired businesses along with the associated fair value mark up of acquired long-lived assets.
2020 versus 2019
• 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.
41
• 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 41.7% outpacing the increase in revenues.
• Depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense increased primarily due to the acquired Cherry business.

• Revenues increased 6.4% due to increased pricing across all product lines due to higher steel prices, higher
volumes in utility structures, and the full year impact of the acquired traffic and telecom structures businesses.
Revenue increases were partially offset by lower wind tower volumes due, in part, to the temporary idling of a
facility earlier in the year. Revenues also increased due to the recognition of $7.7 million of revenue in the second
quarter related to a one-time resolution of a customer dispute from 2019 in our wind towers business. The
associated towers were removed from backlog in 2020 and we continue to have a good commercial relationship
with this customer.
• Cost of revenues increased 6.6% driven by higher steel prices and increased volumes in our utility structures,
partially offset by lower wind tower volumes. Cost of revenues were reduced by a gain of $3.9 million recognized
on the sale of a non-operating facility in the first quarter.
• Selling, general, and administrative expenses were substantially unchanged.
• Operating profit increased by 9.7% primarily due to increased volumes in our utility structures business and
improved margins in our storage tank and utility structures businesses, a one-time resolution of a customer
dispute, and the gain on the sale of a non-operating facility. This increase was partially offset by lower wind tower
volumes and Winter Storm Uri that impacted production in our Texas and Oklahoma plants for approximately one
week in the first quarter.
2020 versus 2019
• 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.
42
• 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.
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations (Backlog)
As of December 31, 2021, the backlog for utility, wind, and related structures was $437.5 million compared to
$334.0 million as of December 31, 2020. Approximately 90% of the unsatisfied performance obligations for our
utility, wind, and related structures are expected to be delivered during the year ending December 31, 2022, with the
remainder expected to be delivered during the year ended 2023. Future wind tower orders are subject to uncertainty
as PTC eligibility for existing wind farm projects is currently in a phase-out period that extends until 2025, and there
is currently no PTC in place for new wind farm projects commencing in 2022 or beyond. Pricing of orders and
individual order quantities reflect a market transitioning from PTC incentives. As of December 31, 2021, the backlog
for our storage tanks in our Engineered Structures segment was $22.0 million, all of which is expected to be
delivered during the year ending December 31, 2022.

• Revenues decreased 34.5%. Revenues from inland barges decreased 43.0% due to lower tank and hopper barge
deliveries as demand has weakened from the COVID-19 pandemic and increased steel prices. Steel component
revenues increased slightly due to increased deliveries as the North American railcar market shows signs of
recovery.
• Cost of revenues decreased by 27.8%, driven by lower barge volumes.
• Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased due to lower compensation costs.
• Operating profit decreased by 88.3% due to lower barge volumes and declines in operational efficiencies from
reduced capacity utilization.
2020 versus 2019
• 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 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.
43
• 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.
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations (Backlog)
As of December 31, 2021, the backlog for inland barges was $92.7 million compared to $175.5 million as of

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 and Senior Notes
On January 2, 2020, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to increase the
revolving credit facility to $500 million and added a term loan facility of $150 million, in each case with a maturity
date of January 2, 2025. The entire term loan was advanced on January 2, 2020 in connection with the closing of
the acquisition of Cherry. As of December 31, 2021, the term loan had a remaining balance of $144.4 million.
On August 4, 2021, we borrowed an additional $100 million under our revolving credit facility to fund, in part, the
acquisition of Southwest Rock. As of December 31, 2021, we had $125 million of outstanding loans borrowed under
the revolving credit facility, and there were approximately $28.6 million of letters of credit issued, leaving $346.4
million available. Of the outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, 2021, $28.0 million are expected to expire
in 2022, with the remainder in 2023. The majority of our letter of credit obligations support the Company’s various
insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year.
The interest rates 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 1.75% as of December 31, 2021. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.20% to
0.35% and was set at 0.30% at December 31, 2021.
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, 2021, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants.
Borrowings under the credit agreement are guaranteed by certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
In order to increase liquidity in anticipation of the acquisition of StonePoint, the Company entered into an
unsecured 364-Day Credit Agreement on March 26, 2021 providing for a revolving line of credit of $150 million, with
an outside maturity date of March 25, 2022, with pricing, covenants, and guarantees substantially similar to the
Company’s existing revolving credit and term loan facilities. Per the terms of the facility, it terminated on April 6,
2021 upon the closing of the Company’s private offering of $400 million in senior notes.
On April 6, 2021, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior notes (the
“Notes”) that mature in April 2029. Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually commencing October 2021. The
Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each
of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under our revolving credit and term loan facilities.
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. Consequently, the Company will continue to evaluate its financial
position in light of future developments, particularly those relating to COVID-19, including its variants.
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, to replace the previous program of the same amount which
expired on December 31, 2020. Under the program, the Company repurchased 170,168 shares at a cost of $9.4
million during the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has a remaining
authorization of $40.6 million under the program. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated 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 borrowings under the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The instrument carried an initial notional amount of $100 million, thereby
hedging the first $100 million of borrowings. The instrument effectively fixes the LIBOR component of the
borrowings at a monthly rate of 2.71%. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has recorded a liability of $3.9
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 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 Financial Statements.
46
Employee Retirement Plans
In 2021, 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 Financial Statements.
As of December 31, 2021, we had the following contractual obligations and commercial commitments:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
MD&A discusses our Consolidated 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.
Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We
believe the following critical accounting policies include our more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Business Combinations and Allocation of Purchase Price
We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. As of the date that control in
the entity is obtained, the purchase price of the transaction is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is determined based on the fair value of
consideration transferred to and liabilities assumed from the seller as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recorded
for the excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. The determination of the acquisition date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires
management's judgment and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to
future expected cash flows, useful lives, and discount rates.
We commonly use an excess earnings method to value acquired mineral reserves and separately identifiable
intangible assets, which may include, but are not limited to, customer relationships, permits, and backlog. Significant
assumptions used in the valuation of these types of assets may include projected revenues, production costs,
capital requirements, customer attrition rates, and discount rates. Changes in the assumptions used could have a
significant impact on the estimated acquisition date fair value of the related asset and any future depreciation,
depletion, or amortization expense.
47
The estimated remaining useful lives of acquired tangible and definite-lived intangible assets are based on the
length of time that the assets are expected to provide value to the Company and have a significant impact on
current and future period earnings.
Management's estimates of fair value are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are
inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. We may adjust the amounts
recognized in an acquisition during a measurement period after the acquisition date. Any such adjustments are the
result of subsequently obtaining additional information that existed at the acquisition date regarding the assets
acquired or the liabilities assumed. Measurement period adjustments are generally recorded as increases or
decreases to goodwill, if any, recognized in the transaction. The cumulative impact of measurement period
adjustments on depreciation, amortization, and other income statement items are recognized in the period the
adjustment is determined.
Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in
the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. We include results of operations from acquired
businesses in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the effective date of the acquisition.
Long-lived Assets
As of December 31, 2021, net property, plant, and equipment and net intangible assets represent 38% and 7% of
the Company's total assets, respectively. The methods for recognition of depreciation, depletion, and amortization
are based on estimates regarding the expected future economic benefit to the Company and any potential
impairment to the value of such assets could be significant. As such, the accounting treatment for these long-lived
assets is a critical accounting policy.
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated or depleted over their estimated useful lives,
primarily using the straight-line method. 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. Intangible assets, primarily
consisting of customer relationships and permits, are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and amortized
over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information regarding the ranges of estimated useful lives by category of property, plant,
and equipment and intangible assets.
We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used for potential impairment
whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be
recoverable. The carrying value of long-lived assets 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 or asset group 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. Significant estimates and judgments that
most significantly impact the impairment analysis may include projected revenues, operating profit, and the
remaining useful life over which the asset or asset group is expected to generate cash flows.
Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined in a similar manner, except that estimated
fair values are reduced by the estimated cost to dispose of the assets.
The Company recorded impairment charges of $2.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 related to
assets that are held for sale. Impairment charges of $7.1 million were recognized during the year ended
December 31, 2020 related to assets that were disposed of during the year.
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, consisting of level three inputs,

As of December 31, 2021, goodwill totaled $934.9 million. Based on the Company's annual goodwill impairment
test, performed at the reporting unit level as of December 31, 2021, 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 Financial
Statements.
We believe that the assumptions used in our impairment analysis are reasonable; however, 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 will prove to be accurate predictions of the
future. Additionally, variations in any of these assumptions may result in different calculations in fair value that could
result in an impairment charge.
An increase in the discount rate or a reduction in the terminal growth rate of 100 basis points would not have
resulted in an impairment of goodwill for any of our reporting units as of December 31, 2021.
Workers' Compensation
We are effectively self-insured for workers’ compensation claims. A third-party administrator processes all such
claims. Our liability for workers' compensation claims was $28.9 million and $30.7 million as of December 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively. We accrue our workers’ compensation liability based upon independent actuarial studies,
which consider loss development factors based on historical claims activity and expected trends. To the extent
actuarial assumptions change or claims experience rates differ from historical rates, our liability may change. A 10%
change in our workers' compensation liability could impact net income by $2.3 million.
Contingencies and Litigation
The Company is involved in claims and lawsuits and environmental matters incidental to our business. We
evaluate our exposure to such claims and suits periodically and establish accruals for these contingencies when
probable losses can be reasonably estimated. The range of reasonably possible losses for such matters, taking into
consideration our rights in indemnity and recourse to third parties was $9.1 million to $9.5 million as of
December 31, 2021 and $0.3 million to $0.4 million as of December 31, 2020.
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. For additional information, see Note 15 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes
The liability method is used to account for 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.
49
As of December 31, 2021, our adjusted net deferred tax liability was $120.8 million. At December 31, 2021, the
Company had $156.7 million federal consolidated net operating loss carryforwards, primarily from businesses
acquired, and $6.1 million of tax-effected state loss carryforwards remaining. In addition, the Company had $35.6
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.

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, 2021, we had $125.0 million of outstanding
loans borrowed under the revolving credit facility and the term loan had a remaining balance of $144.4 million. If
interest rates average one percentage point more in fiscal year 2022 than they did during 2021, our interest
expense would increase by $1.7 million, after considering the effects of interest rate hedges. In comparison, at
December 31, 2020, we estimated that an average increase of one percentage point would increase interest
expense by $1.5 million.
As of December 31, 2021, we had $400.0 million outstanding on our 4.375% senior notes (the "Notes") due 2029.
The Notes have a 4.375% fixed annual interest rate and, therefore, our economic interest rate exposure is fixed.
However, the values of the Notes are exposed to interest rate risk. We estimate that a one percentage point
increase in market interest rates would decrease the fair value of the Notes by approximately $24.0 million. We
carry the Notes at face value less unamortized discount on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and present the fair
value for disclosure purposes only.
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, 2021 was $167.4 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 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, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income,
stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the
related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31,
2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2021, 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, 2021, 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 24, 2022 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 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, 2021, the Company’s goodwill was $934.9 million and represented
29% 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.
56
Accounting for acquisitions
Description of the
Matter
As discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements the Company completed two
significant acquisitions during 2021 for total purchase price of $522.5 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,
which utilize prospective financial information. The Company valued mineral reserves
using the multi-period excess earnings model. The significant assumptions used in this
model included 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 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 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.
To test the estimated fair value of mineral reserves, 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.

Arcosa, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Arcosa,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), headquartered in Dallas,
Texas, is a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions with leading brands serving construction,
engineered structures, and transportation markets in North America. Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was
incorporated in 2018 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 Financial Statements present our historical financial position, results of
operations, comprehensive income/loss, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Stockholders' Equity
In December 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 to replace a program of the same
amount that expired on December 31, 2020. The Company repurchased 170,168 shares at a cost of $9.4 million
during the year ended December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has a remaining authorization
of $40.6 million under the program. Under the previous program, the Company repurchased 184,772 shares at a
cost of $8.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.
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,
2021 and 2020, we had a contract asset of $54.2 million and $82.8 million, respectively, which is included in
receivables, net of allowance, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in the contract asset in 2021
is attributed to large deliveries of finished structures to customers in the first quarter. 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.
63
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to
performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of December 31, 2021 and the percentage of
the outstanding performance obligations as of December 31, 2021 expected to be delivered during 2022:

Substantially all of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations for utility, wind, and related structures are
expected to be delivered during 2023.
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.
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, 2021,
2020, and 2019 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.
64
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, 2021 and 2020, 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 - 2 to 22 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, 2021 and 2020, 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 $2.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 related to
assets that were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2021. Impairment charges of $7.1 million were
recognized 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.
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, 2021 and 2020, the Company's accrual for warranty costs was $6.3 million and $3.1 million,
respectively, which is included in accrued liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
65
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, 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 Financial Statements.
Effective as of January 1, 2021, the Company adopted 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. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material
effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
66
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not adopted as of December 31, 2021
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 continue to
evaluate the impact of adoption, but do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic
805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, (“ASU 2021-08”),
which requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a
business combination in accordance with Topic 606. ASU 2021-08 will become effective for public companies during
interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We do not
expect this standard 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 Financial Statements to conform with the
2021 presentation.

2021 Acquisitions
Southwest Rock Products, LLC
In August 2021, we completed the stock acquisition of Southwest Rock Products, LLC and affiliated entities
(collectively “Southwest Rock”), a natural aggregates company serving the greater Phoenix metropolitan area,
which is included in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of $149.7 million. The acquisition
was funded with cash on hand, $100.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and a $15.0 million
holdback payable to the seller upon the extension of a certain mineral reserve lease. The acquisition was recorded
as a business combination based on a preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed 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 and liabilities. The preliminary valuation
resulted in the recognition of, among others, $65.4 million of goodwill, $51.6 million of mineral reserves, and
$25.5 million of property, plant, and equipment 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. We expect to
complete our purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably possible, not to exceed one year from the acquisition
date. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material, particularly with respect to our
preliminary estimates of mineral reserves and property, plant, and equipment.
67
StonePoint Ultimate Holding, LLC
On April 9, 2021, we completed the stock acquisition of StonePoint Ultimate Holding, LLC and affiliated entities
(collectively “StonePoint”), a top 25 U.S. construction aggregates company, which is included in our Construction
Products segment. The purchase price of $372.8 million was funded with proceeds from a private offering of $400.0
million of 4.375% senior unsecured notes that closed on April 6, 2021. See Note 7 Debt for additional information.
Non-recurring transaction and integration costs incurred related to the StonePoint acquisition were approximately
$9.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination
based on a preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value
using level three inputs. We expect to complete our purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably possible, not to
exceed one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be
material, particularly with respect to our preliminary estimates of property, plant, and equipment, mineral reserves,
and deferred income taxes. The following table represents our preliminary purchase price allocation as of
December 31, 2021:

The goodwill acquired, none of which is tax-deductible, primarily relates to StonePoint's market position and
existing workforce. The customer relationships intangible asset has a useful life of 10 years. Revenues and
operating profit (loss) included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations from the date of the acquisition were
approximately $123.7 million and $(0.1) million during the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively.
The following table represents the unaudited pro-forma consolidated operating results of the Company as if the
StonePoint acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2020. 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, 2020, nor is such unaudited
pro-forma information necessarily indicative of future results.

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. The following table

Other Acquisitions - 2020
In March 2020, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a traffic structures business in our
Engineered Structures segment for a total purchase price of $25.5 million. The acquisition was recorded as a
business combination based on a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date
fair value using level three inputs. The valuation resulted in the recognition of $10.0 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.
69
In June 2020, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a concrete poles business in our
Engineered Structures segment. The purchase price of the acquisition was not significant.
In July 2020, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a telecommunication structures
business in our Engineered Structures segment for a total purchase price of $27.8 million. The acquisition was
recorded as a business combination based on a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their
acquisition date fair value using level 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 a valuation 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 a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value
using level three inputs. The valuation resulted in the recognition of $51.6 million of permits with an initial weighted
average useful life of 22.8 years and $3.8 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.
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.
Divestitures
In November 2021, we completed the divestiture of certain assets and liabilities of an asphalt operation previously
acquired as part of the StonePoint acquisition with a selling price of approximately $19.0 million. The income
statement impact of the disposal was not significant as the assets were recorded at fair value as of their acquisition
date in April 2021.
There were no businesses divested of during the years ended December 31, 2020 or 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.
71
Engineered Structures. 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

We did not capitalize any interest expense as part of the construction of facilities and equipment during 2021 or
2020.
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, 2021, the Company had non-operating facilities with a net book value of
$18.7 million classified as property, plant, and equipment, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our estimated
fair value of these assets exceeds their book value.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had property, plant, and equipment with a value of $20.4 million
classified as held for sale and included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These assets
relate to a non-operating facility within our Engineered Structures segment. We recognized an impairment loss on
these assets of $2.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 as the fair value less the cost to sell these
assets was less than their carrying value. These assets were subsequently sold in February 2022.

The increase in goodwill for Construction Products during the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily due to
the acquisitions of StonePoint and Southwest Rock. The increase in the goodwill for Engineered Structures during
the year ended December 31, 2021 is due to a refinement of the purchase price allocation of a recent acquisition.

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 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, 2021, the term loan had a remaining balance of $144.4 million.
On August 4, 2021, we borrowed an additional $100.0 million under our revolving credit facility to fund, in part, the
acquisition of Southwest Rock. As of December 31, 2021, we had $125.0 million of outstanding loans borrowed
under the revolving credit facility, and there were approximately $28.6 million of letters of credit issued, leaving
$346.4 million available. Of the outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, 2021, $28.0 million are expected to
expire in 2022, with the remainder in 2023. The majority of our letters of credit obligations support the Company’s
various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year.
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 1.75% as of December 31, 2021. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.20% to
0.35% and was set at 0.30% at December 31, 2021.
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, 2021, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants.
Borrowings under the credit agreement are guaranteed by certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
In order to increase liquidity in anticipation of the acquisition of StonePoint, the Company entered into an
unsecured 364-Day Credit Agreement on March 26, 2021 providing for a revolving line of credit of $150.0 million,
with an outside maturity date of March 25, 2022. Pricing, covenants, and guarantees were substantially similar to
the Company’s existing revolving credit and term loan facilities. Per the terms of the facility, it terminated on April 6,
2021 upon the closing of the Company’s private offering of $400.0 million in senior notes.
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, 2021, the Company had $1.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the
revolving credit facility, which are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Senior Notes
On April 6, 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior notes (the
“Notes”) that mature in April 2029. Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually commencing October 2021. The
Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each
of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under our revolving credit and term loan facilities. The
terms of the indenture governing the Notes, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and each of its
subsidiaries to create liens on assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, and consolidate, merge or
transfer all or substantially all of its assets and the assets of its subsidiaries. The terms of the indenture also limit the
ability of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur certain types of debt.
76
At any time prior to April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus an applicable make-whole premium and
accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. On and after April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or a
portion of the Notes at redemption prices set forth in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date. If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the indenture) occurs, the Company must
offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
The estimated fair value of the Notes as of December 31, 2021 was $404.6 million based on a quoted market
price in a market with little activity (Level 2 input).
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company paid $6.6 million of debt issuance costs.
The remaining principal payments under existing debt agreements as of December 31, 2021 are as follows:

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 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The instrument carried an initial notional amount of $100 million,
thereby hedging the first $100 million of borrowings. The instrument effectively fixes the LIBOR component of
borrowings at a monthly rate of 2.71%. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has recorded a liability of $3.9
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.
Future minimum lease payments for operating and finance lease obligations as of December 31, 2021 consisted
of the following:

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. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has deferred $5.4 million in payroll-related taxes in
accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act.
Income (loss) before income taxes for the December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 was $76.6 million, $143.0 million,
and $143.6 million, respectively, for U.S. operations, and $7.0 million, $(4.8) million, and $3.2 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, 2021, the Company had $156.7 million of federal consolidated net operating loss carryforwards,
primarily from businesses acquired, and $6.1 million of tax-effected state loss carryforwards remaining. In addition,
the Company had $35.6 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 $99.1 million as of December 31, 2021. 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
(“IRS”). The 2018-2020 tax years are open for the Arcosa, Inc. federal return. During the year ended December 31,
2021, the IRS formally commenced an audit of the 2018 tax return for one of our subsidiaries. The remaining
entities are generally open for their 2018 tax years and forward. We have various subsidiaries that file separate
state tax returns and are subject to examination by taxing authorities at different times, generally open for their 2018
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 2014 tax years and
forward.

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 were no accrued interest and penalties as of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.
Note 11. Employee Retirement Plans
The Company sponsors defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans that provide retirement income for
eligible employees and retirees of the Company.
Total employee retirement plan expense, which includes related administrative expenses, is as follows:

Defined Contribution Plans
Established under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k), the Arcosa, Inc. 401(k) Plan (“401(k) Plan”) is a defined
contribution plan available to all eligible employees. Participants in the 401(k) Plan are eligible to receive future
retirement benefits through elected contributions and a company-funded match with the investment of the funds
directed by the participants.
The Company also sponsors a fully‑funded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The invested assets and
related liabilities of these participants were approximately $5.3 million at December 31, 2021 and $4.9
million at December 31, 2020, which are included in other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets. Distributions from the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan to participants were
approximately $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and were not significant for the year
ended December 31, 2020.
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.
81
•
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, 2021 is outlined in the table below.
The Pension Protection Act (“PPA”) zone status at December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as of the plan years beginning
January 1, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2021, the plan assets totaled $3.7 million and the
projected benefit obligation totaled $3.4 million, for a net over funded status of $0.3 million, which is included in
other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The net pension expense for the year ended December 31, 2021
was not significant. Employer contributions for the ACG pension plan for the year ending December 31, 2022 are

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.
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, 2021, we had 1.8 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.
83
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 $18.0 million, $20.0 million, and $14.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021,
2020, and 2019, respectively.
The income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense was $4.6 million, $2.6 million, and $2.7
million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
Equity Awards
Equity awards outstanding as of December 31, 2021 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.

which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years. The total vesting-date fair value of shares
vested and released was $32.0 million, $11.3 million, and $13.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021,
2020, and 2019, respectively.
Note 14. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income remaining after allocation to unvested
restricted shares, 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, 1.7 million shares, and 1.6 million shares, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019,
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, 2021, the range of reasonably possible losses for such matters, taking into consideration our
rights in indemnity and recourse to third parties is $9.1 million to $9.5 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, 2021, total accruals of $9.9
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 accrued $1.0 million as of December 31, 2021, included in our total accruals of
$9.9 million discussed above, 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.
85
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 “Trial 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 (the “Appellate Court”). 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. T&B filed its Reply Brief on April 9, 2021. On August 26, 2021, oral argument was held, and, on
September 22, 2021, the Appellate Court issued a Summary Order reversing the dismissal and remanding the case
to the Trial Court for further proceedings. On February 13, 2022, the parties reached an agreement to settle all
claims in this case without admission of liability or fault. On February 18, 2022 the parties filed a stipulation of
dismissal of each party's respective claims. On February 22, 2022, the Trial Court issued its Order on Joint
Stipulation of Dismissal which fully and finally resolved the litigation.
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 $183.5 million as of December 31, 2021, of which $140.6
million is for the purchase of raw materials and components, primarily by the Engineered Structures and
Transportation Products segments.

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, 2021.
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, 2021, 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, 2021
excludes an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of the StonePoint and Southwest Rock
businesses acquired in April and August 2021, respectively. StonePoint and Southwest Rock represent
approximately 17% of consolidated total assets and approximately 7% of consolidated revenues as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2021.
The effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, has been audited by
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also audited our Consolidated 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, 2021, 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, 2021,
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, 2021, 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, 2021. StonePoint
Ultimate Holding, LLC and Southwest Rock, LLC constituted approximately 17% of total assets and 7% of total
revenues as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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, 2021.
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, 2021 and 2020, the related
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and our report dated February 24, 2022
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.
88
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.
