We have positioned ourselves 
for continued growth as demand 
for electrification increases 
throughout the U.S. and Canada. 

Nurturing a strong reputation of 
trust, honesty, and project certainty – 
combined with more than a century 
of experience as a leading specialty 
electrical contractor – has allowed 
us to foster and expand deep client 
relationships while strategically pursuing 
and capturing new opportunities. 

We have positioned ourselves for 
continued growth as demand for 
electrification increases throughout 
the U.S. and Canada. This is backed by 
positive growth forecasts in the core 
markets we serve and a solid, diverse 
pipeline of project opportunities. We 
remain unwavering in our commitment 
to the training and development of our 
teams, whose professionalism and 
expertise continues to drive MYR Group 
toward ongoing success.

PROVIDING QUALITY 
SOLUTIONS FOR INCREASED 
ELECTRIFICATION
Increasing demand for electrification 
is underway as communities heavily 
depend on electricity during their daily 
lives. Through both our Transmission & 
Distribution (T&D) and Commercial & 
Industrial (C&I) business segments, MYR 
Group serves as a strong and nimble 
partner for our clients as they strive to 
meet demands for reliable power. Grid 
modernization, reliability improvement, 
system hardening, decarbonization, 
and greater usage of hybrid cloud 
environments and artificial intelligence 
are all key market drivers that present 
opportunities for continued growth 
across our business.

February 28, 2024

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,

By sticking to proven 
business strategies 
and reaffirming our 
commitment to providing 
clients with quality, safe, 
and dependable results, 
MYR Group achieved 
steady growth once  
more in 2023. 

The dedication and steadfast effort 
of our employees each day creates 
the backbone of our organizational 
excellence, reflected in our long-
standing client relationships and high 
level of execution across our business. 
Together, we accomplished record 
revenues, profit, earnings per share, net 
income, and EBITDA this past year.

which additionally drive the 
electrification demand of communities 
across the country. 

Thanks to leveraging a robust network 
of suppliers, our teams worked 
together with our clients to mitigate 
lingering supply chain constraints and 
successfully execute projects on time 
and on budget.

Expanding long-term client 
relationships through multi-year 
service agreements, strategically 
pursuing opportunities to forge 
new partnerships, and remaining 
committed to being a reliable, cost-
effective provider to customers in 
both segments prevails as our primary 
strategy. As always, MYR Group strives 
to meet the standards of quality, 
safety, experience, and collaboration 
that our clients have come to expect, 
creating the foundation on which our 
continued success is built.

LEADING FROM THE FRONT
MYR Group endeavors to operate as 
a safe and responsible company in 
all that we do. Our investment in our 
diverse teams of people throughout 
the organization remains a top priority, 
and we continually support their 
growth and development while taking 
the necessary steps to send them 
home safely each day. 

Supporting the communities we serve 
by giving back and reducing our 
environmental impact are focuses of 
our business, and we are proud of the 
investments we are making to foster 
a responsible company that values 
inclusion and leadership regardless of 
position or title.

Our corporate responsibility priorities 
are integrated throughout our 
organization from our core values and 
vision to our long-term strategy and 
daily business operations. We strive to 
fulfill our responsibilities and remain at 
the forefront of our industry, helping 
us deliver value to our clients and 
shareholders now and into the future.

STRATEGICALLY  
POSITIONED FOR SUCCESS
Expanding our business intelligently 
and maintaining the highest levels 
of operational excellence are the 
cornerstones of our success at 
MYR Group and have allowed us 
to consistently serve our clients, 
communities, and shareholders as a 
dependable partner for more than a 
century. This strong understanding of 
who we are as an organization and our 
commitment to embracing a growth 
mindset will continue to position us well 
in our market segments moving forward.

Our strong balance sheet enables us 
to support organic growth, including 
working capital needs and investments 
in fleet and equipment. Low leverage, 
access to capital through our expanded 
revolving credit facility, and operating cash 
flows also allow us to pursue acquisitions 
that are the right strategic and cultural fit, 
and opportunistically repurchase shares.

The future is promising for our industry as 
the demand for electrification increases 
and our communities come to depend 
on reliable, clean energy more than ever 
before. The tremendous investments 
being made in electrical infrastructure 
are encouraging and highlight why we 
believe our chosen markets are poised for 
ongoing success for many years to come. 
MYR Group’s hard-earned reputation of 
honesty, collaboration, and execution 
positions us well for future work, and 
we are eager to play our essential role 
in the modernization of our electrical 
infrastructure. We happily celebrate the 
hard work and accomplishments of our 
teams in 2023 and now shift our focus to 
the important work ahead.

Best regards,

Rick Swartz  
President and 
Chief Executive Officer

Ken Hartwick
Chair of the Board

In our T&D segment, the consistency of 
our proven business principles enable 
us to safely execute projects with 
exceptional quality and on-time delivery. 
A healthy bidding environment also 
presents opportunities for the expansion 
of our established relationships and the 
strategic pursuit of new projects. 

Transmission, distribution, substation, 
and clean energy projects of varied size, 
complexity, and capacity continue to 
create a robust pipeline as we work side 
by side with our clients to deliver solid 
results for their customers with minimal 
down time or outages. Increased grid 
demand and reliability, an aging electrical 
infrastructure, decarbonization goals, 
and legislative funding are primary 
market drivers, which combined with 
our operational excellence, we believe 
position MYR Group well for long-term 
success in this segment.

Our C&I segment continues to 
strategically provide electrical 
construction services in our chosen 
core markets such as data centers, 
healthcare, transportation, clean 
energy, and manufacturing where 
forecasts predict steady signs of 
growth and where we maintain a 
healthy backlog of work. 

Data center projects present unique 
opportunities both in new builds 
and facility upgrades to meet the 
ever-developing needs of advanced 
technologies, such as hybrid cloud 
environments and artificial intelligence,

skilled and dedicated teams lean on 
years of experience and their depth of 
knowledge to help our clients complete 
this work, remaining creative and flexible 
to avoid down time and outages so that 
our clients can meet the demands of 
their communities. And when a storm, 
fire, or other disaster strikes, MYR Group 
lineworkers often play an important 
role to help deliver power back to those 
communities most in need.

Item 1.  Business

General

PART I

We are a holding company of specialty electrical construction service providers that was established in 1995 through the 
merger of long-standing specialty contractors. Through our subsidiaries, we serve the electric utility infrastructure, commercial 
and industrial construction markets. Our operations are currently conducted through wholly-owned subsidiaries. We primarily 
provide electrical construction services through a network of local offices located throughout the United States and Canada. We 
provide a broad range of services, including design, engineering, procurement, construction, upgrade, maintenance and repair 
services, with a particular focus on construction, maintenance and repair.

Our principal executive offices are located at 12121 Grant Street, Suite 610, Thornton, Colorado 80241. The telephone 

number of our principal executive offices is (303) 286-8000.

Reportable Segments

Through our subsidiaries, we are a leading specialty contractor serving the electric utility infrastructure, commercial and 
industrial construction markets in the United States and Canada. We manage and report our operations through two electrical 
contracting service segments: Transmission and Distribution (“T&D”) and Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”). We generally 
focus on improving our profitability by selecting projects we believe will provide attractive margins, actively monitoring the costs 
of completing our projects, holding customers accountable for costs related to changes to contract specifications and rewarding 
our employees for effectively managing costs.

Transmission and Distribution segment.   We have operated in the transmission and distribution industry since 1891. We are 

one of the largest U.S. contractors servicing the T&D sector of the electric utility industry. Our T&D segment provides a broad 
range of services on electric transmission and distribution networks and substation facilities which include design, engineering, 
procurement, construction, upgrade and maintenance and repair services, with a particular focus on construction, maintenance and 
repair, to customers in the electric utility industry throughout the United States and Ontario, Canada. Our T&D services include 
the construction and maintenance of high voltage transmission lines, substations and lower voltage underground and overhead 
distribution systems, clean energy projects and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The T&D segment also provides 
emergency restoration services.

In our T&D segment, we generally serve the electric utility industry and power generation companies as a prime contractor, 

through traditional design-bid-build or engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) forms of project delivery. We have 
long-standing relationships with many of our T&D customers who rely on us to construct and maintain reliable electric and other 
utility infrastructure. We also provide many services to our customers under multi-year master service agreements (“MSAs”) and 
other variable-term service agreements.

Commercial and Industrial segment.   We have provided electrical contracting services for commercial and industrial 

construction since 1912. Our C&I segment provides services such as the design, installation, maintenance and repair of 
commercial and industrial wiring, the installation of intelligent transportation systems, roadway lighting, signalization and electric 
vehicle charging infrastructure in the United States and western Canada. We concentrate our efforts on projects where our 
technical and project management expertise are critical to successful and timely execution. Typical C&I contracts cover electrical 
contracting services for airports, hospitals, data centers, hotels, stadiums, commercial and industrial facilities, clean energy 
projects, manufacturing plants, processing facilities, water/waste-water treatment facilities, mining facilities, intelligent 
transportation systems, roadway lighting, signalization and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

In our C&I segment, we generally provide our electric construction and maintenance services as a subcontractor to general 
contractors in the C&I industry, but also contract directly with facility owners. The C&I segment has a diverse customer base with 
many long-standing relationships.

Additional financial information related to our business segments is provided under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in Note 17 — Segment Information to our Financial Statements.

owned utilities, cooperatives, private developers, government-funded utilities, independent power producers, independent 
transmission companies, industrial facility owners and other contractors. Our C&I customer base includes general contractors, 
commercial and industrial facility owners, governmental agencies and developers.

We have long-standing relationships with many of our customers, and we cultivate these relationships at all levels of our 
organization. We seek to build upon our customer relationships to secure additional projects from our current customer base. 
Many of our customer relationships originated decades ago and are maintained through a partnering approach, which includes 
project evaluation and consulting, quality performance, performance measurement and direct customer contact. At all levels of 
management, we maintain a focus on pursuing growth opportunities with prospective customers. In addition, our management 
teams promote and market our services for prospective large-scale projects and national accounts. We believe that our industry 
experience, technical expertise, customer relationships, emphasis on safety and customer service contribute to obtaining new 
contracts with both existing and new customers.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our top 10 customers accounted for 37.9%, 35.4%, and 34.9%, of 

our revenues, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, no single customer accounted for more than 
10.0% of annual revenues.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, revenues derived from T&D customers accounted for 57.3%, 58.0% 
and 52.1% of our total revenues, respectively, and revenues derived from C&I customers accounted for 42.7%, 42.0% and 47.9% 
of our total revenues, respectively.

Types of Service Arrangements and Bidding Process

We enter into contracts principally through a competitive bid process. Our typical construction project begins with the 
preparation and submission of a bid to a customer. If selected as the successful bidder, we generally enter into a contract with the 
customer that provides for payment upon completion of specified work or units of work as identified in the contract. Most of our 
contracts, including MSAs, may be terminated by our customers on short notice, typically 30 to 90 days, even if we are not in 
default under the contract. Although there is considerable variation in the terms of the contracts we undertake, our contracts are 
primarily structured as:

• fixed-price agreements, under which we agree to perform the defined scope for a fixed amount;

• unit-price agreements, under which we agree to perform the work at a fixed price per unit of work as specified in the 

agreement;

• time-and-equipment and time-and-materials contracts, under which we agree to perform the work at negotiated hourly 
billing rates for labor and equipment and for other expenses, including materials, as incurred, at rates agreed to in the 
contract; and

• cost-plus contracts, where we are paid for our costs plus a negotiated margin.

On occasion, time-and-equipment, time-and-materials and cost-plus contracts include shared savings clauses, in which the 

contract includes a target price and we agree to share savings from that target price with our customer.

Fixed-price and unit-price contracts typically have higher potential margins; however, they hold a greater risk in terms of 
profitability because cost overruns may not be recoverable. Time-and-equipment, time-and-materials and cost-plus contracts have 
less margin upside, but generally have a lower risk of cost overruns. Work in our T&D segment is generally completed under 
fixed-price, time-and-materials, time-and-equipment, unit-price and cost-plus agreements. Work in our C&I segment is typically 
performed under fixed-price, time-and-materials, time-and-equipment, cost-plus, and unit-price agreements. Fixed-price contracts 
accounted for 65.2% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, including 52.7% of our total revenue for our T&D 
segment and 82.0% of our total revenue for our C&I segment.

Our EPC contracts are typically fixed-price and may be entered into through joint ventures. We may act as the prime 
contractor for an EPC project where we perform the procurement and construction functions but use a subcontractor to perform 
the engineering component, or we may use a subcontractor for both engineering and procurement functions. We may also act as a 
subcontractor on an EPC project to an engineering firm or general contractor. When acting as a subcontractor for an EPC project, 
we typically provide construction services only, although we may also perform both the construction and procurement functions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our T&D segment also provides services under MSAs that cover maintenance, upgrade and extension services, as well as 
new construction. Work performed under MSAs is typically billed on a unit-price, time-and-materials or time-and-equipment 
basis. MSAs are typically one to three years in duration. Under MSAs, customers generally agree to contract with us for certain 
services in a specified geographic region. A majority of our MSAs do not include obligations to assign specific volumes of work 
to us nor do they grant us exclusivity, although in some cases certain work under the MSA may be subject to our right of first 
refusal. Many of our contracts, including MSAs, are open to bidding at expiration and generally attract numerous bidders.

A portion of the work we perform requires financial assurances in the form of performance and payment bonds, letters of 
credit or other guarantees at the time of execution of the contract. Many of our contracts include retention provisions of up to 
10%, which are generally withheld from each progress payment as retainage until the contract work has been completed and 
approved.

Materials

In many cases, our T&D customers are responsible for supplying materials on projects; however, under certain contracts, we 
may agree to provide all or a portion of the required materials. For our C&I contracts, we usually procure the necessary materials 
and supplies. We are not dependent on specific suppliers for materials or supplies.

Subcontracting

We are the prime contractor for the majority of our T&D projects, however, we occasionally perform work as a 

subcontractor, and we may elect to do so from time to time on larger projects in order to manage our execution risk. We are a 
subcontractor to a general contractor for the majority of our C&I projects, but may contract directly with facility owners. We may 
utilize subcontractors to perform portions of our contracts and to manage workflow, particularly for design and engineering under 
both segments.

We often work with subcontractors who are sole proprietorships or small business entities. Subcontractors normally provide 
their own employees, vehicles, tools and insurance coverages. We are not dependent on any single subcontractor. Our contracts 
with subcontractors often contain provisions limiting our obligation to pay the subcontractor if our client has not paid us. We hold 
our subcontractors responsible for their work or delays in their performance. When we perform work as a subcontractor we are 
often only paid after the general or prime contractor is paid. On larger projects, we may require performance and payment 
bonding from subcontractors, where we deem appropriate, based on the risk involved. 

Competition

Our business is highly competitive in both our T&D and C&I segments. Competition in both of our business segments is 

primarily based on the price of the construction services and upon the reputation for safety, quality and reliability of the 
contractor. The competition we encounter can vary depending upon the type and location of construction services.

We believe that the principal competitive factors that customers consider in our industry are:

• price and flexible contract terms;

• safety programs and safety performance;

• reputation and relationships with the customer;

• technical expertise and experience;

• management team experience;

• geographic presence and breadth of service offerings;

• willingness to accept risk;

• quality of service execution;

• specialized equipment, tooling and centralized fleet structure;

• the availability of qualified and licensed personnel;

• adequate financial resources and bonding capacity;
• technological capabilities; and
• emergency restoration abilities and reputation.

While we believe our customers consider a number of factors when selecting a service provider, most of their work is 
awarded through a bid process where price is always a principal factor. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Our industry is highly 
competitive.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

T&D Competition

Our T&D segment competes with a number of companies in the local markets where we operate, ranging from small local 

independent companies, to medium size regional firms, to large national competitors.

There are a number of barriers to entry into the transmission and distribution markets, including the cost of equipment and 

tooling necessary to perform transmission work, availability of qualified labor, scope of typical transmission projects and 
technical, managerial and supervisory skills necessary to complete the job. Larger transmission projects generally require 
specialized heavy duty equipment as well as strong financial resources to meet the cash flow, bonding or letter of credit 
requirements of these projects. These factors sometimes reduce the number of potential competitors on these projects. The number 
of firms that generally compete for any one significant transmission infrastructure project varies greatly depending on a number of 
factors, including the size of the project, its location and the bidder qualification requirements imposed upon contractors by the 
customer. Some of our competitors restrict their operations to one geographic area while others operate nationally and 
internationally.

We believe that we have a favorable competitive position in the T&D markets that we serve, due in part to our operating 

history, our financial strength, our reputation and our relationships with our customers.

C&I Competition

Our C&I segment predominately competes with a number of regional or local firms and with subsidiaries of national firms. 
There are few significant barriers to entry in the C&I markets, and there are a number of small companies that compete for C&I 
business. The size, location and technical requirements of the project will impact which competitors we will encounter when 
bidding on any particular project.

A major competitive factor in our C&I segment is the individual relationships that we have developed with general 
contractors who typically manage the bid process, along with the willingness to be an exclusive partner with the general 
contractor on pursuits requiring the complete finance, design and construction services for the project. Additionally, the 
equipment requirements for C&I work are generally not as significant as that of T&D construction. Since C&I construction 
typically involves the purchase of materials, the financial resources to procure the required materials and equipment of a particular 
project may impact the competition that we encounter. We differentiate ourselves from our competitors by bidding for larger and 
more technically complex projects, which we believe many of our smaller competitors may not be capable of executing 
effectively. We believe that we have a favorable competitive position in the markets that we serve, due in part to our operating 
history, local market share, our reputation and our relationships with our customers.

Project Bonding Requirements and Parent Guarantees

Many customers, particularly in connection with new construction, require us to post performance and payment bonds issued 
by a financial institution known as a surety. These bonds provide a guarantee to the customer that we will perform under the terms 
of a contract and that we will pay subcontractors and vendors. If we fail to perform under a contract or pay subcontractors and 
vendors, the customer may demand that the surety make payments or provide services under the bond. We are required to 
reimburse the surety for its expenses incurred in performing its obligations under the bond. We believe that the strength of our 
balance sheet, as well as our strong and long-standing relationship with our sureties, enhances our ability to obtain adequate 
financing and bonds. These bonds are typically issued at the face value of the contract awarded. As of December 31, 2023, we had 
approximately $683.4 million in original face amount of bonds outstanding for projects in our T&D segment and approximately 
$1.76 billion for projects in our C&I segment. Our estimated remaining cost to complete these bonded projects for both segments 
was approximately $726.1 million as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $541.5 million in 
original face amount of bonds outstanding for projects in our T&D segment and approximately $1.43 billion for projects in our 
C&I segment. The ability to post bonds provides us with a competitive advantage over smaller or less financially secure 
competitors.

From time to time we guarantee the obligations of our subsidiaries, including obligations under certain contracts with 

customers, certain lease agreements and, in some states, obligations in connection with obtaining contractors’ licenses. 
Additionally, from time to time we are required to post letters of credit to guarantee the obligations of our subsidiaries, which 
reduces the borrowing availability under our credit facility.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Backlog

We refer to our estimated revenue on uncompleted contracts, including the amount of revenue on contracts for which work 

has not begun, less the revenue we have recognized under such contracts, as “backlog.” We calculate backlog differently for 
different types of contracts. For our fixed-price contracts, we include the full remaining portion of the contract in our calculation 
of backlog. A customer’s intention to award us work under a fixed-price contract is not included in backlog unless there is an 
actual award and contract to perform a specific scope of work at specific terms and pricing. For many of our unit-price, time-and-
equipment, time-and-materials and cost-plus contracts, we only include projected revenue for a three-month period in the 
calculation of backlog, although these types of contracts are generally awarded as part of MSAs that typically have a one- to 
three-year duration from execution. Given the duration of our contracts and MSAs and our method of calculating backlog, our 
backlog at any point in time may not accurately represent the revenue we expect to realize during any period and our backlog as 
of the end of a fiscal year may not be indicative of the revenue we expect to generate in the following fiscal year and should not 
be viewed or relied upon as a stand-alone indicator. Our backlog includes projects that have a written award, a letter of intent, a 
notice to proceed or an agreed upon work order to perform work on mutually accepted terms and conditions. Additionally, the 
difference between our backlog and remaining performance obligations is due to the portion of our MSAs that is excluded, under 
certain contract types, from our remaining performance obligations as these contracts can be canceled for convenience at any time 
by us or the customer without considerable cost incurred by the customer. Our estimated backlog also includes our proportionate 
share of unconsolidated joint venture contracts. Additional information related to our remaining performance obligations is 
provided in Note 12 — Revenue Recognition to our Financial Statements. See also “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Backlog may not be 
realized or may not result in profits and may not accurately represent future revenue.”

Many projects that we undertake are not completed in one accounting period. Revenue on construction contracts is 

recognized over the contract term based on costs incurred under the cost-to-cost method. As the cost-to-cost method is driven by 
incurred cost, we calculate the percentage of completion by dividing costs incurred to date by the total estimated cost. 
The percentage of completion is then multiplied by estimated revenues to determine inception-to-date revenue. Revenue 
recognized for the period is the current inception-to-date recognized revenue less the prior period inception-to-date recognized 
revenue. If a contract is projected to result in a loss, the entire contract loss is recognized in the period when the loss was first 
determined and the amount of the loss is updated in subsequent reporting periods. Contract costs incurred to date and expected 
total contract costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract. Changes in the job performance, job conditions 
and final contract settlements are factors that influence management’s assessment of total contract value and the total estimated 
costs to complete those contracts, and therefore, profit and revenue recognition. While our contracts typically include labor, 
equipment and indirect costs, the amount of subcontractor and material costs on any individual contract can vary considerably.

There can be no assurance as to the accuracy of our current estimates of customer requirements, existing and future needs 

under MSAs, or of the values of our cost or time-dependent contracts and, therefore, our current backlog may not be realized as 
part of our future revenues. Subject to the foregoing discussions, the following table summarizes our estimate of backlog that we 
believe to be firm as of the dates shown and the backlog that we reasonably estimate will be recognized within the next 
twelve months, and the amount estimated to be recognized after the next twelve months:

Changes in backlog from period to period are primarily the result of fluctuations in the timing of awards and revenue

venture backlog totaling $18.9 million and $30.8 million, respectively.

Trade Names and Intellectual Property

We operate in the United States under a number of trade names, including: The L. E. Myers Co.; Harlan Electric Company; 

Great Southwestern Construction, Inc.; Sturgeon Electric Company, Inc.; MYR Energy Services, Inc.; E.S. Boulos Company; 
High Country Line Construction, Inc.; Sturgeon Electric California, LLC; GSW Integrated Services, LLC; Huen Electric, Inc. and 
CSI Electrical Contractors, Inc. We operate in Canada under the following trade names: MYR Transmission Services Canada, 
Ltd.; Northern Transmission Services, Ltd; Western Pacific Enterprises Ltd; Powerline Plus Ltd. and PLP Redimix Ltd. We do 
not generally register our trade names, but instead rely on statutory and common law protection. While we consider our trade 
names to be valuable assets, we do not consider any single trade name to be of such material importance that its absence would 
cause a material disruption to our business. We also do not materially rely upon any patents, licenses or other intellectual 
property.

Equipment

Our long history in the T&D industry has allowed us to be instrumental in designing much of the specialty tools and 

equipment used in the industry, including wire pullers, wire tensioners and aerial devices. We operate a fleet of trucks and trailers, 
support vehicles, bulldozers, bucket trucks, digger derricks, cranes and specialty construction equipment, such as wire pullers and 
wire tensioning machines. We also rely on specialized tooling, including stringing blocks, wire grips and presses. The 
standardization of our equipment allows us to streamline training, maintenance and parts costs. We operate a centralized fleet 
facility, as well as numerous regional maintenance shops, that are staffed with mechanics and equipment managers who service 
our fleet. Our ability to internally service our fleet allows us to reduce repair costs and the time equipment is out of service by 
eliminating both the need to ship equipment long distances for repair and dependence on third party maintenance providers. Our 
maintenance shops are also able to modify standard construction equipment to meet the specific needs of our specialty 
applications. We are a final-stage manufacturer for several configurations of our specialty vehicles, and, in the event that a 
particular piece of equipment is not available to us, we can often build the component on-site, which reduces our reliance on our 
equipment suppliers.

Our fleet of equipment is generally managed by our centralized fleet management group. Our fleet is highly mobile, which 
gives us the ability to shift resources from region-to-region quickly and to effectively respond to customer needs or major weather 
events. Our centralized fleet management group is designed to enable us to optimize and maintain our equipment to achieve the 
highest equipment utilization, which helps to maintain a competitive position with respect to our equipment costs. We develop 
internal equipment rates that provide our business units with appropriate pricing levels to estimate their bids for new projects 
more accurately. The fleet management group works with our business units in prioritizing the use of our fleet assets. The fleet 
management group also manages the procurement and disposition of equipment and short-term rentals. All of these factors are 
critical in allowing us to operate efficiently and meet our customers’ needs.

Regulation

Our operations are subject to various laws and regulations including:
• licensing, permitting and inspection requirements applicable to contractors, electricians and engineers;
• regulations relating to worker safety and environmental protection;
• licensing, permitting and inspection requirements applicable to construction projects;
• building and electrical codes;
• special bidding and procurement requirements on government projects; and
• local laws and government acts regulating work on protected sites.

We are also required to comply with increasingly complex and changing laws and regulations enacted to protect business and 

personal data regarding privacy, data protection and data security, including those related to the collection, storage, use, 
transmission and protection of personal information and other customer, vendor or employee data. In addition, health and safety 
regulations may require increased operating costs or capital investments to promote a safe working environment. With respect to 
the laws and regulations noted above, as well as other applicable laws and regulations, the Company's compliance programs may 
under certain circumstances involve material investments in the form of additional processes, training, personnel, information 
technology and capital. For a discussion of the risks associated with certain applicable laws and regulations, see “Item 1A. Risk 
Factors."

We believe that we are in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and we believe that we have all material 
licenses required to conduct our operations. Our failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in project delays, cost 
overruns, remediation costs, substantial fines and revocation of our operating licenses. We do not expect that continued 
compliance with such regulations will have a material effect upon capital expenditures, earnings, or our competitive position.

Environmental Matters

As a result of our current and past operations, we are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations governing our 
operations, including the use, transport and disposal of non-hazardous and hazardous substances and wastes, as well as emissions 
and discharges into the environment, including discharges into air, surface water, groundwater and soil. We also are subject to 
laws and regulations that impose liability and cleanup responsibility for releases of hazardous substances into the environment. 
Under certain of these laws and regulations, such liabilities can be imposed for cleanup of previously owned or operated 
properties, or properties to which hazardous substances or wastes were discharged by current or former operations at our facilities, 
regardless of whether we directly caused the contamination or violated any law at the time of discharge or disposal. The presence 
of contamination from such substances or wastes could interfere with ongoing operations or adversely affect our ability to sell, 
lease or otherwise use our properties in certain ways, such as collateral for possible financing. We could also be held liable for 
significant penalties and damages under certain environmental laws and regulations, which could materially and adversely affect 
our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We believe that we are in substantial compliance with environmental laws and regulations and that any obligations related to 

environmental matters should not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Additionally, there are significant environmental regulations under consideration to encourage the use of clean energy 

technologies and regulate emissions of greenhouse gases to address climate change. We regularly monitor the various proposals in 
this regard. Although the impact of climate change regulations on our business will depend on the specifics of governmental 
policies, legislation, and regulation, we believe that we are well-positioned to adapt our business to meet new regulations. 
Furthermore, we perform a significant amount of services for customers that operate electrical power infrastructure assets in 
locations and climates that are more susceptible to wildfires or other natural disasters. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Our failure 
to comply with environmental and other laws and regulations could result in significant liabilities” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors — 
We are subject to risks associated with climate change including financial risks and physical risks such as an increase in extreme 
weather events (such as floods, wildfires or hurricanes), rising sea levels and limitations on water availability and quality."

Cyclical Nature of Business and Seasonality

The demand for construction and maintenance services from our customers is cyclical in nature and vulnerable to downturns 

in the industries we serve as well as the economy in general. As a result, our volume of business could be adversely affected by 
declines or delays in new projects in various geographic regions.

Although our revenues are primarily driven by spending patterns in our customers’ industries, our revenues and results of 

operations can be subject to seasonal and other variations. These variation can be influenced by a number of factors such as 
weather, daylight hours, availability of workforce, asset readiness and holidays.

See also “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Our business may be affected by seasonal and other variations, including severe weather 

conditions and the nature of our work environment.”

Human Capital Resources

We believe that our people are our greatest assets and the success and growth of our business depend in large part on our 
ability to attract, develop and retain a diverse population of talented, qualified and highly skilled employees at all levels of our 
organization, including the individuals who comprise our workforce as well as our executive officers and other key personnel. We 
have developed key recruitment and retention strategies, objectives and measures that serve as the framework for our human 
capital management approach and guide the overall management of our business. These strategies, objectives and measures are 
advanced through a number of programs, policies and initiatives, including those related to: health and safety; inclusion, diversity, 
and equality; employee recruitment, training and development; and compensation and benefits programs.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We seek to attract and retain highly qualified craft employees by providing a superior work environment through our 
emphasis on safety, competitive compensation, and a high-quality fleet of equipment. The number of individuals we employ 
varies significantly throughout the year, including the number of craft employees fluctuates depending on the number and size of 
projects at any particular time. As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 9,000 employees, consisting of approximately 
7,300 craft employees, with the remaining 1,700 employees mainly consisting of district managers, project managers, 
superintendents, estimators, office managers, administrative staff, clerical personnel and executive officers. Approximately 84% 
of our craft employees are members of unions, with the majority being members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical 
Workers (“IBEW”), who are represented by many local unions under agreements with generally uniform terms and varying 
expiration dates. We generally are not direct parties to such local agreements, but instead these agreements are entered into by and 
between the IBEW local unions and the National Electrical Contractors Association (“NECA”), of which the majority of our 
subsidiaries are members. On occasion, we also employ individuals who are members of other trade unions pursuant to multi-
employer, multi-union project agreements.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

You should read the following risk factors carefully in connection with evaluating our business and the forward-looking 
information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We operate in a changing environment that involves numerous known 
and unknown risks and uncertainties that could affect our operations. The risks described below highlight some of the factors that 
have affected, and in the future could affect, our operations. Although the risks are organized by heading, and each risk is 
described separately, many of the risks are interrelated. Additional risks we do not yet know of, or that we currently think are 
immaterial, may also affect our operations. You should not interpret the disclosure of any risk factor to imply that the risk has not 
already materialized. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial 
condition, results of operations and cash flows could be affected and our stock price could decline.

Industry & Market Risks

Our operating results may vary significantly from period to period.

Our business can be highly cyclical and subject to seasonal and other variations that can result in significant differences in 

operating results from period to period. Additionally, our results may be materially and adversely affected by:

• the timing and volume of work under contract;

• increased competition and changes in the competitive marketplace for our services;

• the spending patterns of customers and governments;

• safety performance and reputation;

• increased costs of performance of our services caused by adverse weather conditions;

• cost overruns on fixed-price and unit-price contracts;

• decreased equipment utilization;

Accordingly, our operating results in any particular reporting period may not be indicative of the results that can be expected 

for any other reporting period.

Our industry is highly competitive.

Our industry is fragmented and we compete with other companies, ranging from small, independent firms servicing local 

markets to larger firms servicing regional, national and international markets. Any organization that has adequate financial 
resources and access to technical expertise may become one of our competitors. Competition in the industry depends on many 
factors, including pricing of the construction services, the reputation for safety and the quality and reliability of the contractor. 
Some of our competitors may have lower labor and overhead cost structures and, therefore, may be able to provide their services 
at lower prices than ours. In addition, some of our competitors may have greater financial, technological and human resources 
than we do. We cannot be certain that our competitors will not develop the expertise, experience and resources to provide services 
that are superior in both price and quality to our services. Similarly, we cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain or 
enhance our competitive position within the markets we serve or maintain our customer base at current levels. Additionally, we 
may face competition from in-house service organizations of our existing or prospective customers including electric utility 
companies and others which often employ personnel to internally perform some of the same types of services we do. If we are 
unable to compete successfully in our markets, our operating results could be adversely affected.

Negative economic and market conditions including tariffs on materials, interest rates and recessionary conditions have in the 
past and may in the future adversely impact our customers’ spending and, as a result, our operations and growth.

The demand for our services from our customers has been, and will likely continue to be, cyclical in nature and vulnerable to 
downturns in the industries we serve as well as the economy in general. Stagnant or declining economic conditions could result in 
the delay, reduction or cancellation of certain projects and could cause our customers to outsource less work, which could 
adversely affect us in the future. Negative economic changes could be magnified by adverse rate cases limiting the capital 
expenditure budgets of our customers and leading to lower demand for our services. Additionally, many of our customers finance 
their projects through the incurrence of debt or the issuance of equity. A reduction in cash flow, the lack of availability of debt or 
equity financing, or a higher cost of debt or equity financing may result in a reduction in our customers’ spending for our services 
and may also impact the timing or ability of our customers to pay amounts owed to us, which could have a material adverse effect 
on our operations and our ability to grow at historical levels, or at all. A prolonged economic downturn or recession could 
adversely affect our customers and their ability or willingness to fund capital expenditures in the future or pay for past services. 
Material fluctuations in energy markets could also have an adverse impact on our customers’ spending patterns. Consolidation, 
competition, capital constraints or negative economic conditions in the electric power industry may also result in reduced 
spending by, or the loss of, one or more of our customers.

Changes to U.S. policies related to global trade and tariffs, as well as retaliatory trade measures implemented by other 
countries, have resulted in uncertainty surrounding the future of the global economy. Increases in the cost of imported raw 
materials or finished goods as a result of tariffs or trade policies may impact customer spending, and reductions in customer 
spending could lead to fewer project awards and more competition We cannot predict the outcome of these changing trade 
policies or other unanticipated political conditions, nor can we predict the timing or strength of any economic recovery or 
downturn worldwide or its impact on our customers’ markets.

New Project and Growth Risks

We may be unsuccessful in generating internal growth, which could impact the projects available to the Company.

Our ability to generate internal growth will be affected by, among other factors, our ability to:

• attract new customers;

• increase the number of projects performed for existing customers;

• hire and retain qualified personnel;

• successfully bid new projects;

• expand geographically; and

• adapt the range of services we offer to customers to address their evolving construction needs.

In addition, if our customers are constrained in their ability to obtain capital, it could reduce the number, timing or size of 

projects available to us. Many of the factors affecting our ability to generate internal growth may be beyond our control, and we 
cannot be certain that our strategies will be successful, or that we will be able to generate cash flow sufficient to fund our 
operations and support internal growth. If we are unsuccessful, we may not be able to achieve internal growth, expand our 
operations and grow our business.

Our inability to successfully execute or integrate acquisitions or joint ventures may have an adverse impact on our growth 
strategy and business.

From time to time, our business strategy includes expanding our presence in the industries we serve through strategic 
acquisitions of companies or entry into joint ventures that complement or diversify our business. Future acquisition targets that 
meet our criteria may be limited. We may also face competition for acquisition opportunities, and other potential acquirers may 
offer more favorable terms or have greater financial resources available for potential acquisitions. This competition may limit our 
ability to grow through acquisitions or could raise the prices of acquisitions, adversely impacting any accretion that might be 
achieved. Failure to consummate future acquisitions could negatively affect our future growth strategies. Additionally, the 
acquisitions we pursue may involve significant cash expenditures, the incurrence or assumption of debt or burdensome regulatory 
requirements.

Any acquisition may ultimately have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash 
flows. We may not realize the anticipated benefits and synergies of an acquisition, and our attempts at integrating an acquired 
business may not be successful. Acquisitions or joint ventures may expose us to operational and financial challenges and risks, 
including:

• the disruption of our ongoing business;

• significant diversion of resources and management’s attention from our existing business;

• reductions of cash and other resources available for operations and other uses;

• exposure to risks specific to the acquired businesses, services, or technologies to which we are not currently exposed;

• the failure to retain key personnel or customers of an acquired business;

• difficulties integrating new operations and personnel;

• failure of acquired companies to achieve the results we expect; and

• the assumption of unknown liabilities of the acquired business for which there are inadequate reserves and the potential

impairment of acquired intangible assets.

Our ability to grow and maintain our competitive position may be affected by our ability to successfully integrate any 

businesses acquired.

Business and Operating Risks

Project performance issues, including those caused by third parties, or certain contractual obligations have in the past and 
may in the future result in additional costs to us, reductions or delays in revenues or the payment of penalties, including 
liquidated damages.

Many projects involve challenging engineering, procurement and construction phases that may occur over several years. We 
have in the past and may in the future encounter difficulties that impact our ability to complete the project in accordance with the 
original delivery schedule. These difficulties have and may continue to be the result of delays in designs; engineering information 
or materials provided by the customer or a third party; delays or difficulties in equipment and material delivery; schedule changes; 
delays from our customer’s failure to timely obtain permits, rights-of-way or to meet other regulatory requirements; weather-
related delays; delays caused by difficult worksite environments; delays caused by inefficiencies and not achieving expected labor 
performance and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any delay or failure by suppliers or by third-party 
subcontractors in the completion of their portion of the project may result in delays in the overall progress of the project or may 
cause us to incur additional costs, or both. We also may encounter project delays due to local opposition, which may include 
injunctive actions as well as public protests, to the siting of electric transmission lines, clean energy projects, or other facilities. 
We may not be able to recover the costs we incur that are caused by delays. Certain contracts have guarantee provisions regarding 
project completion by a scheduled acceptance date or achievement of certain acceptance and performance testing levels. Failure to 
meet any of our schedules or performance requirements could also result in additional costs or penalties, including liquidated 
damages, and such amounts could exceed expected project profit. In extreme cases, the above-mentioned factors could cause 
project cancellations. Delays or cancellations may impact our reputation or relationships with customers and adversely affect our 
ability to secure new contracts. Larger projects present additional performance risks due to complexity of the work and duration 
of the project. 

Our customers have in the past and may in the future change or delay various elements of the project after its commencement. 

The design, engineering information, equipment or materials that are to be provided by the customer or other parties may be 
deficient or delivered later than required by the project schedule, resulting in additional direct or indirect costs. Under these 
circumstances, we generally negotiate with the customer with respect to the amount of additional time required and the 
compensation to be paid to us. We are subject to the risk that we may be unable to obtain, through negotiation, arbitration, 
litigation or otherwise, adequate amounts to compensate us for the additional work or expenses incurred by us due to change 
orders or failure by others to timely deliver items, such as engineering drawings or materials.

We have in the past brought, and may in the future bring, claims against our customers related to, among other things, the 

payment terms of our contracts and change orders relating to our contracts. These types of claims occur due to, among other 
things, customer-caused delays or changes in project scope, both of which may result in additional cost, which may not be 
recovered until the claim is resolved. Additionally, if any of our customers do not proceed with the completion of projects or 
default on their payment obligations, or if we encounter disputes with our customers with respect to the adequacy of billing 
support, we may face difficulties in collecting payment of amounts due to us for the costs previously incurred. In some instances, 
these claims can be the subject of lengthy legal proceedings, and it is difficult to accurately predict when or if they will be fully 
resolved. A failure to promptly recover on these types of claims in the future could have a negative impact on our business, 
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, any such claims may harm our future relationships with our 
customers.

We may be unable to attract and retain qualified personnel.

Our ability to maintain our productivity and our operating results may be limited by our ability to employ, train and retain 
qualified personnel necessary to operate efficiently and to support our growth strategy. We have from time to time experienced 
shortages of certain types of qualified personnel, such as linemen, field supervisors, project managers and engineers, in certain 
regions. In addition, our projects are sometimes located in remote areas, which can make recruitment and deployment of our 
personnel challenging. During periods with large volumes of storm restoration services work, linemen are frequently recruited 
across geographic regions to satisfy demand. Many linemen are willing to travel to earn premium wages for such work, which 
from time to time makes it difficult for us to retain these workers for ongoing projects when storm conditions persist. The 
commencement of new, large-scale infrastructure projects or increased demand for infrastructure improvements, as well as the 
shrinking electric utility workforce, may reduce the pool of skilled workers available to us. Labor shortages could impair our 
ability to maintain our business or grow our revenues. If we are unable to hire personnel with the requisite skills, we may also be 
forced to incur significant training expenses.

14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, the success of our business depends upon the continued efforts and abilities of our employees. The relationships 
between our employees and our customers are important to obtaining and retaining business. We are also dependent on recruiting 
effective personnel for our projects. There can be no assurance that any individual employee will continue in his or her capacity 
for any particular period of time. Industry-wide competition for managerial talent is high. Given that level of competition, there 
could be situations where our overall compensation package may be viewed as less attractive as compared to our competition, and 
we may experience the loss of key personnel or higher costs to retain and hire key personnel. The loss of key personnel, or the 
inability to hire and retain qualified personnel, could negatively impact our ability to manage our business and relationships with 
our customers.

The timing of new contracts and termination of existing contracts may result in unpredictable fluctuations in our cash flows 
and financial results.

A substantial portion of our revenues are derived from project-based work that is awarded through a competitive bid process. 
It is generally difficult to predict the timing and geographic distribution of the projects that we will be awarded. The selection of, 
timing of, or failure to obtain projects, delays in awards of projects, the re-bidding or termination of projects due to budget 
overruns, cancellations of projects or delays in completion of contracts could result in the under-utilization of our assets, including 
our fleet of construction equipment, which could lower our overall profitability and reduce our cash flows. Even if we are 
awarded contracts, we face additional risks that could affect when, or whether, work will begin. This can present difficulty in 
matching workforce size and equipment location with contract needs. In some cases, we may be required to bear the cost of a 
ready workforce and equipment that is larger than necessary, which could impact our cash flow, expenses and profitability. If an 
expected contract award or the related work release is delayed or not received, we could incur substantial costs without receipt of 
any corresponding revenues. Moreover, construction projects for which our services are contracted may require significant 
expenditures by us prior to receipt of relevant payments from the customer. Finally, the winding down or completion of work on 
significant projects that were active in previous periods will reduce our revenue and earnings if such significant projects have not 
been replaced in the current period.

Many of our contracts may be canceled upon short notice, typically 30 to 90 days, even if we are not in default under the 
contract, and we may be unsuccessful in replacing contracts, resulting in a decrease in our revenue, net income and liquidity. 
Certain of our customers assign work to us on a project-by-project basis under MSAs. Under these agreements, our customers 
often have no obligation to assign a specific amount of work to us. Our operations could decline significantly if the anticipated 
volume of work is not assigned to us or is canceled. Many of our contracts, including our MSAs, are open to competitive bidding 
at the expiration of their terms. There can be no assurance that we will be the successful bidder on our existing contracts that 
come up for re-bid.

During the ordinary course of our business, we have in the past and may in the future become subject to lawsuits or indemnity 
claims.

We have in the past been, and may in the future be, named as a defendant in lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that 

arise in the ordinary course of our business. These actions may seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal 
injury, workers’ compensation, employment discrimination, sexual harassment, workplace misconduct and other employment-
related damages, breach of contract, property damage, environmental liabilities, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal 
liabilities, punitive damages, consequential damages, and civil penalties or other losses or injunctive or declaratory relief. In 
addition, we generally indemnify our customers for claims related to the services we provide and actions we take under our 
contracts, and, in some instances, we may be allocated risk through our contract terms for actions by our customers, 
subcontractors or other third parties. Because our services in certain instances may be integral to the operation and performance of 
our customers’ infrastructure, we have been and may become subject to lawsuits or claims for any failure of the systems that we 
work on, even if our services are not the cause of such failures, and we could be subject to civil and criminal liabilities to the 
extent that our services contributed to any property damage, personal injury or system failure. Insurance coverage may not be 
available or may be insufficient for these lawsuits, claims or legal proceedings. The outcome of any of these lawsuits, claims or 
legal proceedings could result in significant costs and diversion of management’s attention from our business. Payments of 
significant amounts, even if reserved, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations 
and cash flows.

Backlog may not be realized or may not result in profits and may not accurately represent future revenue.

Backlog is difficult to determine accurately, and companies within our industry may define backlog differently. Reductions in 

backlog due to cancellation, termination or scope adjustment by a customer or for other reasons could significantly reduce the 
revenue and profit we actually receive from contracts in backlog. In the event of a project cancellation, termination or scope 
adjustment, we typically have no contractual right to the total revenues reflected in our backlog. The timing of contract awards, 
duration of large new contracts and the mix of services, subcontracted work and material in our contracts can significantly affect 
backlog reporting. Given these factors and our method of calculating backlog, our backlog at any point in time may not accurately 
represent the revenue that we expect to realize during any period, and our backlog as of the end of a fiscal year may not be 
indicative of the revenue we expect to earn in the following fiscal year and should not be viewed or relied upon as a stand-alone 
indicator. Consequently, we cannot provide assurance of our estimates of backlog. See “Item 1. Business — Backlog” for a 
discussion on how we calculate backlog for our business.

Our insurance has limits and exclusions that may not fully indemnify us against certain claims or losses, including claims 
resulting from wildfires or other natural disasters and an increase in cost, or the unavailability or cancellation of third-party 
insurance coverages would increase our overall risk exposure and could disrupt our operations and reduce our profitability.

We maintain insurance coverages from third party insurers as part of our overall risk management strategy and most of our 

customer contracts require us to maintain specific insurance coverage limits. We maintain insurance policies with respect to 
automobile liability, general liability, employer’s liability, workers’ compensation, cybersecurity, our employee group health 
program, and other types of coverages, but these policies are subject to high deductibles, and we are self-insured up to the amount 
of those deductibles. Insurance losses are accrued based upon our estimates of the ultimate liability for claims reported and an 
estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. Insurance liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to unknown factors, 
including the frequency and severity of injuries, the magnitude of damage to or loss of property or the environment, the 
determination of our liability in proportion to other parties, estimates of incidents not reported and the effectiveness of our safety 
programs, and as a result, our actual losses may exceed our estimates. There can be no assurance that our current or past insurance 
coverages will be sufficient or effective under all circumstances or against all claims and liabilities to which we may be subject.

We generally renew our insurance policies on an annual basis; therefore, deductibles and levels of insurance coverages may 

change in future periods. There can be no assurance that any of our existing insurance coverages will be renewed upon the 
expiration of the coverage period or that future coverage will be available at reasonable and competitive rates or at the required 
limits. The cost of our insurance has significantly increased over time and may continue to increase in the future. In addition, 
insurers may fail, cancel our coverage, increase the cost of coverage, determine to exclude certain items from coverage, or 
otherwise be unable to provide us with adequate insurance coverage. We may not be able to obtain certain types of insurance or 
incremental levels of insurance in scope or amount sufficient to cover liabilities we may incur. For example, due to the increase in 
wildfire losses and related insurance claims, insurers have reduced coverage availability and increased the cost of insurance 
coverage for such events in recent years, and our current levels of coverage may not be sufficient to cover potential losses. If our 
risk exposure increases as a result of adverse changes in our insurance coverages, we could be subject to increased liabilities that 
could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

In addition, we perform work in hazardous environments and our employees are exposed to a number of hazards. Incidents 
can occur, regardless of fault, that may be catastrophic and adversely impact our employees and third parties by causing serious 
personal injury, loss of life, damage to property or the environment, and interruption of operations. Furthermore, we perform a 
significant amount of services for customers that operate electrical power infrastructure assets in locations and climates that are 
more susceptible to wildfires or other natural disasters. In locations or environments where claims have become more frequent or 
severe in recent years, insurance may become difficult or impossible to obtain. Our contracts may require us to indemnify our 
customers, project owners and other parties for injury, damage or loss arising out of our presence at our customers’ location, or in 
the performance of our work, in both cases regardless of fault, and provide for warranties for materials and workmanship. We 
may also be required to name the customer and others as an additional insured under our insurance policies. We maintain limited 
insurance coverage against these and other risks associated with our business. This insurance may not protect us against liability 
for certain events, and we cannot guarantee that our insurance will be adequate in risk coverage or policy limits to cover all losses 
or liabilities that we may incur. Any future damages caused by our services that are not covered by insurance or are in excess of 
policy limits could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks associated with operating in the Canadian market could impact our profitability.

There are numerous inherent risks in conducting our business in a different country including, but not limited to, potential 

instability in markets, political, economic or social conditions, and difficult or additional legal and regulatory requirements 
applicable to our operations. Limits on our ability to repatriate earnings, exchange controls, and complex U.S. and Canadian laws 
and treaties including laws related to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and similar laws could also adversely 
impact our operations. Changes in the value of the Canadian dollar could increase or decrease the U.S. dollar value of our profits 
earned or assets held in Canada or potentially limit our ability to reinvest earnings from our operations in Canada to fund the 
financing requirements of our operations in the United States. These risks could restrict our ability to provide services to Canadian 
customers or to operate our Canadian business profitably, and could negatively impact our results. We also are exposed to 
currency risks relating to the translation of certain monetary transactions, assets and liabilities.

Changes in tax laws or our interpretations of tax laws could materially impact our income tax liabilities.

We have operations in the United States and Canada and are subject to the jurisdiction of multiple federal and state taxing 
authorities. The income earned in these various jurisdictions is taxed on different bases which are subject to change by the taxing 
authorities. The final determination of our income tax liabilities involves the interpretation of local tax laws, tax treaties and 
related authorities in each jurisdiction, as well as the significant use of estimates and assumptions regarding the scope of future 
operations and results achieved and the timing and nature of income earned and expenditures incurred. Our interpretation of these 
tax laws has in the past and may in the future differ from the interpretation of taxing authorities. Changes in the operating 
environment, including changes in tax laws, as well as differences in the interpretation of tax laws, could materially impact our 
income tax liabilities.

The nature of our business exposes us to potential liability for warranty claims and faulty engineering, which may reduce our 
profitability.

Our customer contracts typically include a warranty for the services that we provide against certain defects in workmanship 

and material. Additionally, materials used in construction are often provided by the customer or are warranted against defects 
from the supplier. Certain projects have longer warranty periods and include facility performance warranties that may be broader 
than the warranties we generally provide. If warranty claims occurred, it could require us to re-perform the services or to repair or 
replace the warranted item, at a cost to us, and could also result in other damages if we are not able to adequately satisfy our 
warranty obligations. In addition, we may be required under contractual arrangements with our customers to warrant any defects 
or failures in materials we provide that we purchase from third parties. While we generally require suppliers to provide us 
warranties that are consistent with those we provide to our customers, if any of these suppliers default on their warranty 
obligations to us, we may incur costs to repair or replace the defective materials for which we are not reimbursed. Costs incurred 
because of warranty claims could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our business involves professional judgments regarding the planning, design, development, construction, operations and 
management of electric power transmission and commercial construction. Because our projects are often technically complex, our 
failure to make judgments and recommendations in accordance with applicable professional standards, including engineering 
standards, could result in damages. A significantly adverse or catastrophic event at one of our project sites or completed projects 
resulting from the services we have performed could result in significant warranty, professional liability, or other claims against 
us as well as reputational harm, especially if public safety is impacted. These liabilities could exceed our insurance limits or could 
impact our ability to obtain insurance in the future. In addition, customers, subcontractors or suppliers who have agreed to 
indemnify us against any such liabilities or losses might refuse or be unable to pay us. An uninsured or underinsured claim could 
have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Pandemic outbreaks of disease, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have in the past had and may in the future have an adverse 
impact on our business, employees, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

Future pandemic outbreaks of disease may further disrupt supply chains and create significant additional volatility and 
disruption of financial markets, which may require us to make changes to our business and, implement new health and safety 
protocols. Any such future health outbreaks could result in higher operating costs and could adversely impact our business, 
including certain operational, reporting, accounting or other processes. In addition, an extended period of remote work 
arrangements could impair our ability to effectively manage our business, and introduce additional operational risks, including but 
not limited to cybersecurity risks and increased vulnerability to security breaches, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, ransomware, 
or other similar events and intrusions.

17

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We are unable to predict the ultimate impact of any pandemic outbreak of disease, which could adversely affect our business, 

financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Such effects may be material and the potential impacts include, but are 
not limited to:

• disruptions in our supply chain due to transportation delays, travel restrictions, raw material cost increases and shortages,

and closures of businesses or facilities;

• reductions in our operating effectiveness due to workforce disruptions or the unavailability of key personnel necessary to

conduct our business activities; and

• volatility in the financial markets, which could have a negative impact on our ability to access capital and additional sources

of financing in the future.

Should a future health outbreak persist for a prolonged period, any of the above factors and others that are unknown, may 
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, we cannot 
predict the ultimate impact of any pandemic outbreak of disease will have on our customers and suppliers, and any adverse 
impacts on these parties may have a material adverse impact on our business.

Third Party Partner Risks

Our dependence on suppliers, subcontractors and equipment manufacturers have in the past and may in the future expose us 
to the risk of loss in our operations.

On certain projects, we rely on suppliers to obtain the necessary materials and subcontractors to perform portions of our 
services. We also rely on equipment manufacturers to provide us with the equipment required to conduct our operations. Although 
we are not dependent on any single supplier, subcontractor or equipment manufacturer, any substantial limitation on the 
availability of required suppliers, subcontractors or equipment manufacturers could negatively impact our operations. The risk of 
a lack of available suppliers, subcontractors or equipment manufacturers may be heightened as a result of market and economic 
conditions. We have in the past and may in the future experience difficulties in acquiring equipment or materials due to supply 
chain interruptions, including as a result of natural disasters, weather, labor disputes, pandemic outbreak of disease, fire or 
explosions and power outages. To the extent we cannot engage subcontractors or acquire equipment or materials, we could 
experience losses in the performance of our operations. Successful completion of our contracts may depend on whether our 
subcontractors successfully fulfill their contractual obligations. If our subcontractors fail to perform their contractual obligations 
as a result of financial or other difficulties, or if our subcontractors fail to meet the expected completion dates or quality standards, 
we may be required to incur additional costs or provide additional services in order to make up such shortfall and we may suffer 
damage to our reputation.

Our participation in joint ventures and other projects with third parties may expose us to liability for failures of our partners.

We may enter into joint venture or other strategic arrangements with other parties as part of our business operations. Success 

on a jointly performed project depends in large part on whether all parties satisfy their contractual obligations. Joint venture 
partners are generally jointly and severally liable for all liabilities and obligations of the joint venture. If a joint venture partner 
fails to perform or is financially unable to bear its portion of required capital contributions or other obligations, including 
liabilities relating to claims or lawsuits, we could be required to make additional investments, provide additional services or pay 
more than our proportionate or agreed upon share of a liability to compensate for the partner’s shortfall. In addition, if we are 
unable to adequately address our partner’s performance issues, the customer may terminate the project, which could result in legal 
liability to us, reduce our profit on the project or damage our reputation.

Regulatory and Environmental Risks

Legislative or regulatory actions relating to electricity transmission and clean energy may impact demand for our services.

Current and future legislative or regulatory actions may impact demand for our services, require utilities to meet reliability 
standards, and encourage installation of new electric transmission and clean energy generation facilities. However, it is unclear 
whether these initiatives will create sufficient incentives for projects or result in increased demand for our services.

Because most of our T&D revenue is derived from the electric utility industry, regulatory and environmental requirements 
affecting that industry could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Customers in 
the electric utility industry we serve face stringent regulatory and environmental requirements, as well as permitting processes, as 
they implement plans for their projects, which may result in delays, reductions and cancellations of some of their projects. These 
regulatory factors have resulted in decreased demand for our services in the past, and they may do so in the future, potentially 
impacting our operations and our ability to grow at historical levels, or at all.

18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, while many states have mandates in place that require specified percentages of electricity to be generated from 
clean energy sources, states could reduce those mandates or make them optional, which could reduce, delay or eliminate clean 
energy development in the affected states. Additionally, clean energy is generally more expensive to produce and may require 
additional power generation sources as backup. The locations of clean energy projects are often remote and may not be viable 
unless new or expanded transmission infrastructure to transport the electricity to demand centers is economically feasible. 
Furthermore, funding for clean energy initiatives may not be available. These factors could result in fewer clean energy projects 
and a delay in the construction of these projects and the related infrastructure, which could negatively impact our business.

We have in the past and may in the future incur liabilities and suffer negative financial or reputational impacts relating to 
occupational health and safety matters, including those related to environmental hazards such as wildfires and other natural 
disasters.

Our operations are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to the maintenance of safe conditions in the workplace. 

While we have invested, and will continue to invest, substantial resources in our occupational health and safety programs, our 
industry involves a high degree of operational risk, and there can be no assurance that we will avoid significant liability exposure. 
Our business is subject to numerous safety risks, including electrocutions, fires, explosions, mechanical failures, weather-related 
incidents, transportation accidents and damage to equipment. Furthermore, we perform a significant amount of services for 
customers that operate electrical power infrastructure assets in locations and climates that are more susceptible to wildfires or 
other natural disasters. These hazards can cause personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and 
equipment and other consequential damages and could lead to suspension of operations, large monetary claims and, in extreme 
cases, criminal liability. Members of our workforce have suffered serious injuries or fatalities in the past and may suffer additional 
serious injuries or fatalities in the future. Monetary claims for damages to persons, including claims for bodily injury or loss of 
life, could result in substantial costs and liabilities. In addition, we have in the past, and we may in the future, be subject to 
criminal penalties relating to occupational health and safety violations, which have resulted in and could in the future result in, 
substantial costs and liabilities. Any of the foregoing could result in financial loss, which could have a material adverse impact on 
our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our customers seek to minimize safety risks on their sites, and they frequently review the safety records of outside 

contractors during the bidding process. If our safety record were to substantially deteriorate, we could become ineligible to bid on 
certain work, and our customers could cancel our contracts and not award us future business.

Our failure to comply with environmental and other laws and regulations could result in significant liabilities.

Our past, current and future operations are subject to numerous environmental and other laws and regulations governing our 
operations, including the use, transport and disposal of non-hazardous and hazardous substances and wastes, as well as emissions 
and discharges into the environment, including discharges to air, surface water, groundwater and soil. We also are subject to laws 
and regulations that impose liability and cleanup responsibility for releases of hazardous substances into the environment. Under 
certain of these laws and regulations, such liabilities can be imposed for cleanup of previously owned or operated properties, or 
properties to which hazardous substances or wastes were discharged by current or former operations at our facilities, regardless of 
whether we directly caused the contamination or violated any law at the time of discharge or disposal. The presence of 
contamination from such substances or wastes could interfere with ongoing operations or adversely affect our ability to sell, lease 
or otherwise use our properties in ways such as collateral for possible financing. We could also be held liable for significant 
penalties and damages under certain environmental laws and regulations, which could materially and adversely affect our 
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, new laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously 
unknown contamination or leaks, or the imposition of new permitting or cleanup requirements could require us to incur significant 
costs or become the basis for new or increased liabilities that could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations 
and cash flows. In certain instances, we have obtained indemnification or covenants from third parties (including our predecessor 
owners or lessors) for some or all of such cleanup and other obligations and liabilities. However, such third-party indemnities or 
covenants may not cover all of our costs.

Legislative and regulatory proposals to address greenhouse gas emissions could result in a variety of regulatory programs, 

additional charges to fund energy efficiency activities, or other regulatory actions. Any of these actions could result in increased 
costs associated with our operations and impact the prices we charge our customers. If new regulations are adopted regulating 
greenhouse gas emissions from mobile sources such as cars and trucks, we could experience a significant increase in 
environmental compliance costs due to our large fleet. In addition, if our operations are perceived to result in high greenhouse gas 
emissions, our reputation could suffer.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We are also subject to laws and regulations protecting endangered species, artifacts and archaeological sites. We may incur 

work stoppages to avoid violating these laws and regulations, or we may risk fines or other sanctions for accidentally or willfully 
violating these laws and regulations. We are also subject to immigration laws and regulations, for which noncompliance could be 
material and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Furthermore, failure to obtain permitting, right-of-way access and other tactical considerations prior to the commencement of 

work could delay the commencement of work on projects or cause modifications of work plans, potentially resulting in lower 
margins. We generally plan for certain up-front time and other costs to obtain required permitting and right-of-way access and for 
other tactical challenges prior to the commencement of work on our projects. Delays in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, 
permits or right-of-way access, could negatively impact our margins due to additional cost and unabsorbed overhead resulting 
from under-utilized personnel and equipment. Additionally, we may encounter unexpected tactical issues on the site which could 
lead to unanticipated costs and delays, which we may not be able to recover from our customers.

Our business may be affected by seasonal and other variations, including severe weather conditions and the nature of our 
work environment.

Although our revenues are primarily driven by spending patterns in our customers’ industries, our revenues and results of 
operations can be subject to seasonal variations, particularly in our T&D segment. These variations are influenced by weather, 
hours of daylight, customer spending patterns, available system outages from utilities and holidays, and can have a significant 
impact on our gross margins. Our profitability may decrease during abnormal or inclement weather conditions because work 
performed during these times may be restricted and more costly to complete. Additionally, our T&D customers often cannot 
remove their T&D lines from service during the summer months when consumer demand for electricity is at its peak, delaying the 
demand for our maintenance and repair services. Furthermore, our work is performed under a variety of conditions, including but 
not limited to, difficult terrain, difficult site conditions and large urban centers where delivery of materials and availability of 
labor may be impacted and sites which may have been exposed to harsh and hazardous conditions. Our working capital needs are 
also influenced by the seasonality of our business.

Opportunities associated with government contracts could lead to increased governmental regulation applicable to us.

Most government contracts are awarded through a regulated competitive bidding process. If we were to be successful in 
being awarded government contracts, significant costs could be incurred by us before any revenues were realized from these 
contracts. Government agencies may review a contractor’s performance, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, 
regulations and standards. If government agencies determine through these reviews that costs were improperly allocated to 
specific contracts, they will not reimburse the contractor for those costs or may require the contractor to refund previously 
reimbursed costs. If government agencies determine that we engaged in improper activity, we may be subject to civil and criminal 
penalties. Government contracts are also subject to renegotiation of profit and termination by the government prior to the 
expiration of the term and are susceptible to a government shutdowns or a change in budgetary priorities which could lead to the 
cancellation of the award, unanticipated costs and delays.

We are subject to risks associated with climate change including financial risks and physical risks such as an increase in 
extreme weather events (such as floods, wildfires or hurricanes), rising sea levels and limitations on water availability and 
quality.

Climate change may create physical and financial risk. Physical risks from climate change could, among other things, include 

an increase in extreme weather events (such as floods, wildfires or hurricanes), rising sea levels and limitations on water 
availability and quality. Such extreme weather conditions may limit the availability of resources, increasing the costs of our 
projects, or may cause projects to be delayed or cancelled. Certain risks associated with climate change could include but are not 
limited to:

• changes in insurance coverage, availability of coverage, availability of adequate insurance limits, higher insurance

premiums, and larger self-insured retentions/deductibles,

• changes in market demand based on climate change as well as legal and regulatory requirements and trends,

• operational disruptions and accompanying project inefficiencies and delays that may not be recoverable from clients due to

severe weather events and changes in weather patterns,

• damage from severe weather events to construction work in progress,
• damage to our assets from severe weather events,
• reputational risk due to perceptions of the company’s sustainability efforts, and
• increased reporting and compliance costs due to new regulatory requirements, customer, shareholder, and stakeholder

requests targeting climate change.

20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Additionally, legislative and regulatory responses related to climate change and new interpretations of existing laws through 

climate change litigation may also negatively impact our operations. The cost of additional environmental regulatory requirements 
could impact the availability of goods and increase our costs. International treaties or accords could also have an impact on our 
business to the extent they lead to future governmental regulations. Compliance with any new laws or regulations regarding the 
reduction of greenhouse gases could result in significant changes to our operations and a significant increase in our cost of 
conducting business.

From time to time, we establish strategies and expectations related to climate change and other environmental matters. Our 

ability to achieve any such strategies or expectations is subject to numerous factors and conditions, many of which are outside of 
our control. Examples of such factors include, but are not limited to, evolving legal, regulatory, and other standards, processes, 
and assumptions, the pace of scientific and technological developments, increased costs, the availability of requisite financing, 
and changes in carbon markets. Failures or delays (whether actual or perceived) in achieving our strategies or expectations related 
to climate change and other environmental matters could adversely affect our business, operations, and reputation, and increase 
risk of litigation.

Accounting Risks

Our use of percentage-of-completion accounting could result in a reduction or reversal of previously recognized revenues and 
profits.

A significant portion of our revenues is recognized over the contract term based on costs incurred under the cost-to-cost 
method. This method is used because management believes costs incurred best represent the amount of work completed and 
remaining on our projects and is the most common basis for computing percentage of completion in our industry. The percentage-
of-completion accounting practice we use results in our recognizing contract revenues and earnings ratably over the contract term 
in proportion to our incurrence of contract costs. The earnings or losses recognized on individual contracts are based on estimates 
of contract revenues, costs and profitability. Contract losses are recognized in full when determined, and contract profit estimates 
are adjusted based on ongoing reviews of contract profitability. In addition, we record adjustments to estimated costs of contracts 
when we believe the change in estimate is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. These adjustments could result 
in both increases and decreases in profit margins. Actual results could differ from estimated amounts and could result in a 
reduction or elimination of previously recognized earnings. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results from Operations — Critical Accounting Policies” and in the notes to our Financial Statements, for a 
discussion on how percentage-of-completion accounting impacts our business.

Our financial results are based upon estimates and assumptions that may differ from actual results.

In preparing our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 
(“GAAP”), estimates and assumptions are used by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 
revenues and expenses recognized during the periods presented and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist 
as of the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions must be made because certain information that is used 
in the preparation of our financial statements is dependent on future events. These estimates and assumptions cannot be calculated 
with a high degree of precision from data available or is not capable of being readily calculated. In some cases, these estimates are 
particularly difficult to determine, and we must exercise significant judgment.

The most significant estimates we use are related to costs to complete contracts, pending change orders and claims, shared 
savings, insurance reserves, income tax reserves, estimates surrounding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related contingent 
earn-out consideration liabilities, the recoverability of goodwill and intangibles, and accounts receivable reserves.

Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by impairments to 
goodwill, other intangible assets, receivables, long-lived assets or investments. For example, when we acquire a business, we 
record goodwill in an amount equal to the amount we paid for the business minus the fair value of the net tangible assets and other 
intangible assets of the acquired business. Goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives cannot be 
amortized, but instead must be tested at least annually for impairment. For additional description on this impairment testing, 
please read Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical 
Accounting Policies — “Goodwill and Intangibles”. Any future impairments, including impairments of goodwill, intangible 
assets, long-lived assets or investments, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of 
operations and cash flows.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pricing and Cost Risks

Our actual costs may be greater than expected in performing our fixed-price and unit-price contracts.

We generate a significant portion of our revenues and profits under fixed-price and unit-price contracts. We must estimate the 
costs of completing a particular project when we bid for these types of contracts. The actual cost of labor and materials, however, 
may vary from the costs we originally estimated and we may not be successful in recouping additional costs from our customers. 
These variations, along with other risks inherent in performing fixed-price and unit-price contracts, may cause actual revenue and 
gross profits for a project to differ from those we originally estimated and could result in reduced profitability or losses on 
projects due to changes in a variety of factors such as:

• failure to properly estimate costs of engineering, material, equipment or labor;

• inefficient labor performance;

• unanticipated technical problems with the materials or services being supplied by us, which may require us to incur

additional costs to remedy the problem;

• project modifications that create unanticipated costs;

• changes in the costs or availability of equipment, materials, labor or subcontractors;

• the failure of our suppliers or subcontractors to perform;

• difficulties in our customers obtaining required governmental permits or approvals;

• site conditions that differ from those assumed in the original bid;

• the availability and skill level of workers in the geographic location of the project;

• an increase in the cost of fuel or other resources;

• changes in local laws and regulations;

• delays caused by local weather conditions, third parties or customers; and

• quality issues requiring rework.

An increase in the cost or availability for items such as materials, parts, commodities, equipment and tooling may also be 
impacted by trade regulations, tariffs, global relations, wars, taxes, transportation costs and inflation which could adversely 
affect our business.

For certain contracts, we are exposed to market risks that may cause increases in the cost, or the availability of, parts, 
commodities, equipment and tooling, utilized in our operations. We have experienced, expect to continue to be affected through 
2024, and may in the future be impacted by, delays and cost volatility of these items due to supply chain disruptions, inflationary 
pressures, tariffs and regulatory slowdowns. In addition, our customers’ capital budgets may be impacted by cost increases and 
reduced customer spending could lead to fewer project awards and more competition. These costs could be materially impacted 
by general market conditions and other factors, including U.S. trade relationships with other countries or the imposition of tariffs. 
We are also exposed to increases in energy prices, particularly as they relate to fuel prices for our fleet vehicles. While we believe 
we can increase our prices to adjust for cost increases, there can be no assurance that future cost increases would be recoverable. 
Additionally, some of our fixed price contracts do not allow us to adjust our prices and, as a result, increases in the cost of parts, 
commodities, equipment and tooling or fuel costs could reduce our profitability with respect to such projects and could have a 
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Capital and Credit Risks

We may not be able to compete for, or work on, certain projects if we are not able to obtain necessary bonds, letters of credit, 
bank guarantees or other financial assurances.

Many of our contracts require that we provide security to our customers for the performance of their projects in the form of 

bonds, letters of credit, bank guarantees or other financial assurances. Current or future market conditions, including losses 
incurred in the construction industry or as a result of large corporate bankruptcies, as well as changes in our sureties’ assessment 
of our operating and financial risk, could cause our surety providers and lenders to decline to issue or renew, or substantially 
reduce the amount of, bid or performance bonds for our work and could increase our costs associated with collateral. These 
actions could be taken on short notice. If our surety providers or lenders were to limit or eliminate our access to bonding, letters of 
credit or guarantees, our alternatives would include seeking capacity from other sureties and lenders, finding more business that 
does not require bonds or allows for other forms of collateral for project performance, such as cash. We may be unable to secure 
these alternatives in a timely manner, on acceptable terms, or at all, which could affect our ability to bid for or work on future 
projects requiring financial assurances. 

22

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We have also granted security interests in various assets to collateralize our obligations to our sureties and lenders. 
Furthermore, under standard terms in the surety market, sureties issue or continue bonds on a project-by-project basis and can 
decline to issue bonds at any time or require the posting of additional collateral as a condition to issuing or renewing any bonds. If 
we were to experience an interruption or reduction in the availability of bonding capacity as a result of these or any other reasons, 
we may be unable to compete for or work on certain projects that would require bonding.

Unfavorable developments affecting the banking and financial services industry could adversely affect our business, liquidity 
and financial condition and overall results of operations.

Actual events, concerns or speculation about disruption or instability in the banking and financial services industry, such as 

liquidity constraints, the failure of individual institutions, or the inability of individual institutions or the banking and financial 
service industry generally to meet their contractual obligations, could significantly impair our access to capital, delay access to 
deposits or other financial assets, or cause actual loss of funds subject to cash management arrangements. Similarly, these events, 
concerns or speculation could result in less favorable financing terms such as higher interest rates or costs and stricter covenants, 
or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on 
acceptable terms or at all. Additionally, our customers also could be adversely affected by these risks, which in turn could result 
in their committing a breach or default under their contractual agreements with us, their insolvency or bankruptcy, or other 
adverse effects. Any decline in available funding, limitation on access to our cash and liquidity resources, or non-compliance of 
banking and financial services counterparties with their contractual commitments to us could, among other risk, could have a 
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Employee Risks

Work stoppages or other labor issues with our unionized workforce could adversely affect our business, and we may be subject 
to unionization attempts.

As of December 31, 2023, approximately 84% of our craft labor employees were covered by collective bargaining 

agreements. Although most of these agreements prohibit strikes and work stoppages, we cannot be certain that strikes or work 
stoppages will not occur in the future. Strikes or work stoppages could adversely impact our relationships with our customers and 
could cause us to lose business, resulting in decreased revenues. From time to time, we have experienced attempts to unionize our 
nonunion businesses. Such efforts often delay work and present the risk of labor unrest. If nonunion employees were to unionize, 
we could experience higher ongoing labor costs.

Multi-employer pension plan obligations related to our unionized workforce could adversely impact our earnings.

Our collective bargaining agreements may require us to participate with other companies in various multi-employer pension 

plans. To the extent that we participate in any multi-employer pension plans that are underfunded, the Employee Retirement 
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Multi-Employer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980, may subject us to 
substantial liabilities under those plans if we were to withdraw from them, if they were terminated or experience a mass 
withdrawal. Furthermore, the Pension Protection Act of 2006, as amended, imposes additional funding and operational rules 
applicable to plan years beginning after 2007 for multi-employer pension plans that are classified as either “endangered,” 
“seriously endangered” or “critical” status. Plans in these classifications must adopt measures to improve their funded status, 
which may require additional employer contributions and/or modifications to employee benefits based on future union wages 
paid. 

Although we are not currently aware of any potential significant liabilities to us as a result of these plans being classified as 

being in a “critical” or “endangered” status, our future financial results could be impacted by the amended funding rules.

Cybersecurity and Information Technology Risks

We rely on information, communications and data systems in our operations and we or our business partners may be subject 
to failures, interruptions or breaches of such systems, which could affect our operations or our competitive position, expose 
sensitive information or damage our reputation.

We and our business partners are heavily reliant on information and communications technology and related systems to 
conduct our business. We also rely on third-party software and information technology to run certain of our critical accounting, 
project management and financial information systems. Furthermore, in connection with our business we may collect and retain 
personally identifiable and other sensitive information of our customers and personnel, all of which expect that we will adequately 
protect such information. The failure of these systems to operate effectively or problems with transitioning to upgraded or 
replacement systems could cause delays and reduce the efficiency of our operations, which could have a material adverse effect 
on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and significant costs could be incurred to remediate any 
problem.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Increased IT security threats and more sophisticated computer crimes, including advanced persistent threats, computer 
viruses, ransomware, other types of malicious code, hacking, phishing and social engineering schemes designed to provide access 
to our networks or data, pose a potential risk to the security of our IT systems, networks and services, as well as the 
confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data. If the IT systems, networks or service providers we rely upon fail to function 
properly, or if we suffer a loss or disclosure of sensitive information, we may suffer interruptions in our ability to manage 
operations, be subject to government enforcement actions, litigation, and reputational, competitive and business harm which may 
adversely impact our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows, competitive position and reputation.

As techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized 
until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures. As 
cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend additional resources to comply with new cyber-related 
regulations, continue to enhance our information security measures or investigate and remediate any information security 
vulnerabilities. Our remediation efforts may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays or cessation of service. This 
could also impact the cost and availability of cyber insurance to us. While we maintain cybersecurity insurance, costs related to a 
cyberattack may exceed the amount of our insurance coverage or may be excluded under the terms of our cybersecurity insurance 
policy. Additionally, due to recent increases in cyber losses by the insurance industry, cyber insurance coverage may be limited 
and/or subject to a significant increase in cost. Furthermore, our relationships with, and access provided to, third parties and their 
vendors may create difficulties in anticipating and implementing adequate preventative measures or mitigating harms after an 
attack or breach occurs.

During the normal course of business, we have experienced and expect to continue to experience attempts to compromise our 

information and communications technology and related systems. To date, no cybersecurity incident or attack has had a material 
impact on our business or results of operations. If a material, actual or perceived breach of our security occurs, the public 
perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed and we could lose customers. Any such material 
disruptions or breaches of security would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations 
and cash flows.

In addition, current and future laws and regulations governing data privacy and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential 
information may pose complex compliance challenges and/or result in additional costs. A failure to comply with such laws and 
regulations could result in penalties or fines, legal liabilities and/or harm our reputation. The continuing and evolving threat of 
cyber-attacks has also resulted in increased regulatory focus on risk management and prevention. New cyber-related regulations 
or other requirements could cause us to incur significant costs, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial 
position, results of operations and cash flows.

Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments

None.

Item 1C.  Cybersecurity

The Company’s Board of Directors has oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats. The Board reviews cybersecurity risks 

as part of its overall risk management oversight and specifically reviews cybersecurity in detail at least annually. The Board relies 
on management and its use of the third-party consultants for expertise for assessing and managing the Company’s risks from 
cybersecurity threats. In conjunction with management, the Board considers the nature of the work provided by the Company’s 
operations, the potential impact of a cybersecurity event, costs, potential likelihood of an event, prior events, and benefits in its 
general oversight of the cybersecurity risk management.

We have experienced targeted and non-targeted cybersecurity attacks and incidents in the past that have resulted in 
unauthorized persons gaining access to our information and systems, and we could in the future experience similar attacks. To 
date, no cybersecurity incident or attack, or any risk from cybersecurity threats, has materially affected or has been determined to 
be reasonably likely to materially affect the Company or our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

Item 2.  Properties

Our principal executive offices are located at 12121 Grant Street, Suite 610, Thornton, Colorado 80241, the lease term of 

which expires on November 30, 2029. In addition to our executive offices, certain legal, accounting and other personnel are 
located in this building. As of December 31, 2023, we owned 19 operating facilities and leased many other properties in various 
locations throughout our service territories. Most of our properties are used as operational offices or for fleet operations. We 
believe that our facilities are adequate for our current operating needs. We do not believe that any owned or leased facility is 
material to our operations and, if necessary, we could obtain replacement facilities for our leased facilities.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

We are, from time to time, party to lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. 

These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract and/or property 
damages, punitive damages, civil and criminal penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such 
lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record reserves when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss 
can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe that any of these proceedings, separately or in the aggregate, would be expected 
to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

We are routinely subject to other civil claims, litigation and arbitration, and regulatory investigations arising in the ordinary 
course of our past and present businesses as well as in respect of our divested businesses. Some of these include claims related to 
our services and operations, and we believe that we have strong defenses to these claims as well as insurance coverage that will 
contribute to any settlement or liability in the event these claims are not resolved in our favor. These claims have not had a 
material impact on us to date, and we believe the likelihood that a future material adverse outcome will result from these claims is 
remote. However, if facts and circumstances change in the future, we cannot be certain that an adverse outcome of one or more of 
these claims would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Overview-Introduction

We are a holding company of specialty electrical construction service providers that was established in 1995 through the 
merger of long-standing specialty contractors. Through our subsidiaries, we serve the electric utility infrastructure, commercial 
and industrial construction markets. We manage and report our operations through two electrical contracting service segments: 
Transmission and Distribution (“T&D”) and Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”).

We have operated in the transmission and distribution industry since 1891. We are one of the largest U.S. contractors 
servicing the T&D sector of the electric utility industry and provide T&D services throughout the United States and in Ontario, 
Canada. Our T&D customers include many of the leading companies in the electric utility industry. We have provided electrical 
contracting services for commercial and industrial construction since 1912. Our C&I segment provides services in the United 
States and in western Canada. Our C&I customers include facility owners and general contractors. We strive to maintain our 
status as a preferred provider to our T&D and C&I customers. 

We believe that we have a number of competitive advantages in both of our segments, including our skilled workforce, 
extensive centralized fleet, proven safety performance and reputation for timely completion of quality work that allows us to 
compete favorably in our markets. In addition, we believe that we are better capitalized than some of our competitors, which 
provides us with valuable flexibility to take on additional and more complex projects.

We had revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $3.64 billion compared to $3.01 billion for the year ended 

December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net income was $91.0 million compared to $83.4 million for the year 
ended December 31, 2022.

Overview-Segments

Transmission and Distribution segment.   Our T&D segment provides comprehensive solutions to providers in the electric 

utility industry. Our T&D segment generally serves the electric utility industry as a prime contractor to customers such as 
investor-owned utilities, cooperatives, private developers, government-funded utilities, independent power producers, independent 
transmission companies, industrial facility owners and other contractors. We have long-standing relationships with many of our 
T&D customers who rely on us to construct and maintain reliable electric and other utility infrastructure. Our T&D segment 
provides a broad range of services on electric transmission and distribution networks, substation facilities, clean energy projects 
and electric vehicle charging infrastructure, which include design, engineering, procurement, construction, upgrade and 
maintenance and repair services. Our T&D services include the construction and maintenance of high voltage transmission lines, 
substations and lower voltage underground and overhead distribution systems, clean energy projects and electric vehicle charging 
infrastructure. We also provide many services to our customers under multi-year master service agreements (“MSAs”) and other 
variable-term service agreements.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, our T&D revenues were $2.09 billion, or 57.3%, of our revenue, compared to $1.75 
billion, or 58.0%, of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $1.30 billion, or 52.1%, of our revenue for the year 
ended December 31, 2021. Revenues from transmission projects represented 66.1%, 62.1%, and 62.0% of T&D segment revenue 
for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our T&D segment also provides restoration services in response to hurricanes, ice storms or other storm related events, 

which accounted for less than 5% of our annual revenues in 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Measured by revenues in our T&D segment, we provided 52.7%, 47.8% and 43.0% of our T&D services under fixed-price 

contracts during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 

Commercial and Industrial segment.   Our C&I segment provides a wide range of services including design, installation, 

maintenance and repair of commercial and industrial wiring, the installation of intelligent transportation systems, roadway 
lighting, signalization and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. In our C&I segment, we generally provide our electric 
construction and maintenance services as a subcontractor to general contractors in the C&I industry as well as directly to facility 
owners. We have a diverse customer base with many long-standing relationships. We concentrate our efforts on projects where 
our technical and project management expertise are critical to successful and timely execution. The majority of C&I contracts 
cover electrical contracting services for airports, hospitals, data centers, hotels, stadiums, commercial and industrial facilities, 
clean energy projects, manufacturing plants, processing facilities, water/waste-water treatment facilities, mining facilities, 
intelligent transportation systems, roadway lighting, signalization and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, our C&I revenues were $1.55 billion, or 42.7%, of our revenue, compared to $1.26 
billion, or 42.0%, of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $1.20 billion, or 47.9%, of our revenue for the year 
ended December 31, 2021.

Measured by revenues in our C&I segment, we provided 82.0%, 83.3% and 80.5% of our services under fixed-price contracts 

for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Overview-Revenue and Gross Margins

Revenue Recognition.   We recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that 
reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services provided. Revenue associated with 
contracts with customers is recognized over time as our performance creates or enhances customer controlled assets or creates or 
enhances an asset with no alternative use, for which we have an enforceable right to receive compensation as defined under the 
contract. To determine the amount of revenue to recognize over time, we utilize the cost-to-cost method as we believe cost 
incurred best represents the amount of work completed and remaining on our projects, and is the most common basis for 
computing percentage of completion in our industry. As the cost-to-cost method is driven by incurred cost, we calculate 
the percentage of completion by dividing costs incurred to date by the total estimated cost. The percentage of completion is then 
multiplied by estimated revenues to determine inception-to-date revenue. Revenue recognized for the period is the current 
inception-to-date recognized revenue less the prior period inception-to-date recognized revenue. If a contract is projected to result 
in a loss, the entire contract loss is recognized in the period when the loss was first determined and the amount of the loss is 
updated in subsequent reporting periods. Additionally, contract costs incurred to date and expected total contract costs are 
continuously monitored during the term of the contract. Changes in the job performance, job conditions and final contract 
settlements are factors that influence management’s assessment of total contract value and the total estimated costs to complete 
those contracts, and therefore, profit and revenue recognition.

Gross Margins.   Our gross margin can vary between periods as a result of many factors, some of which are beyond our 
control. These factors include: the mix of revenue derived from the industries we serve, the size and duration of our projects, the 
mix of business conducted in different parts of the United States and Canada, the mix of our contract types, the mix of service and 
maintenance work compared to new construction work, the amount of work that we subcontract, the amount of material we 
supply, changes in labor, equipment or insurance costs, seasonal and abnormal weather patterns, changes in fleet utilization, 
pricing pressures due to competition, efficiency of work performance, fluctuations in commodity prices of materials, delays in the 
timing of projects and other factors. The gross margins we record in the current period may not be indicative of margins in future 
periods.

Overview-Economic, Industry and Market Factors

We operate in competitive markets, which can result in pricing pressures for the services we provide. Work is often awarded 

through a bidding and selection process, where price is always a principal factor. We generally focus on managing our 
profitability by: selecting projects that we believe will provide attractive margins; actively monitoring the costs of completing our 
projects; holding customers accountable for costs related to changes to contract specifications and rewarding our employees for 
controlling costs.

29

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The demand for construction and maintenance services from our customers has been, and will likely continue to be, cyclical 
in nature and vulnerable to downturns in the markets we serve as well as the economy in general. The financial condition of our 
customers and their access to capital, variations in the margins of projects performed during any particular period, and regional 
and national economic conditions in the United States and Canada may materially affect results. Project schedules, particularly in 
connection with larger, multi-year projects, can also create fluctuations in our revenues. Other market and industry factors, such 
as changes to our customers’ capital spending plans or delays in regulatory approvals can affect project schedules. Changes in 
technology, tax and other incentives and new or changing regulatory requirements affecting the industries we serve can impact 
demand for our services. While we actively monitor economic, industry and market factors affecting our business, we cannot 
predict the impact such factors may have on our future results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. As a result of economic, 
industry and market factors, our operating results in any particular period or year may not be indicative of the results that can be 
expected for any other period or for any other year.

Overview-Seasonality and Nature of Our Work Environment

Although our revenues are primarily driven by spending patterns in our customers’ industries, our revenues and results of 

operations, particularly those derived from our T&D segment, can be subject to seasonal variations. These variations are 
influenced by weather, daylight hours, availability of system outages from utilities, and holidays. During the winter months, 
demand for our T&D work may be high, but our work can be delayed due to inclement weather. During the summer months, the 
demand for our T&D work may be affected by fewer available system outages, due to peak electrical demands caused by warmer 
weather, which limits our ability to perform electrical line service work. During the spring and fall months, the demand for our 
T&D work may increase due to improved weather conditions and system availability; however, extended periods of rain and other 
severe weather can affect the deployment of our crews and efficiency of operations. Furthermore, our work is performed under a 
variety of conditions in different locations, including but not limited to, difficult terrain, sites which may have been exposed to 
harsh and hazardous conditions, and in large urban centers where delivery of materials and availability of labor may be impacted.

We also provide storm restoration services to our T&D customers. These services tend to have a higher profit margin. 

However, storm restoration service work that is performed under an MSA typically has similar rates to other work under the 
agreement. In addition, deploying employees on storm restoration work may, at times, delay work on other transmission and 
distribution work. Storm restoration service work is unpredictable and can affect results of operations.

Outlook

Our business is directly impacted by the level of spending on T&D infrastructure and the level of C&I electrical construction 

activity across the United States and Canada. We are optimistic about infrastructure spending and believe related investment 
activity will continue to positively impact both our T&D and C&I markets for the foreseeable future. We believe that regulatory 
reform, state clean energy portfolio standards, the aging of the electric grid, and potential overall improvement of the economy 
will positively impact the level of spending by our customers in all of the markets we serve. Although competition remains strong, 
we see these trends as positive factors for us in the future.

We believe legislative actions aimed at supporting infrastructure improvements in the United States may positively impact 
long-term demand, particularly in connection with electric power infrastructure, transportation and clean energy spending. We 
believe legislative actions are likely to provide greater long-term opportunity in both of our reporting segments. However, we 
expect our financial results, in both of our segments, to continue to be affected by delays and cost volatility through 2024, due to 
supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, tariffs and regulatory slowdowns. These factors will cause us to carry impacted 
projects at lower margins until their completion and may result in decelerations in project opportunities and awards.

We believe there is an ongoing need for utilities to sustain investment in their transmission systems to improve reliability, 
reduce congestion and connect to new clean energy sources. Consequently, we believe we will continue to see significant bidding 
activity on large transmission projects going forward. The timing of multi-year transmission project awards and substantial 
construction activity is difficult to predict due to regulatory requirements and the permitting needed to commence construction. 
Significant construction on any large, multi-year projects awarded in 2024 will not likely have a large impact on our 2024 results. 
Bidding and construction activity for small to medium-size transmission projects and upgrades remain active, and we expect this 
trend to continue.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As a result of reduced spending by United States utilities on their distribution systems for many years, we believe there is a 
need for sustained investment by utilities on their distribution systems to properly maintain or meet reliability requirements. In 
2023, we continued to see increased bidding activity in some of our electric distribution markets, as economic conditions 
improved in those areas. We believe the increased storm activity and destruction caused by wildfires will cause a push to 
strengthen utility distribution systems against catastrophic damage. Distribution systems may also require upgrades to 
accommodate additional distributed energy resources and increased electrification. Several industry and market trends are also 
prompting customers in the electric utility industry to seek outsourcing partners rather than performing projects internally. These 
trends include an aging electric utility workforce, increasing costs and staffing constraints. We believe electric utility employee 
retirements could increase with further economic recovery, which may result in an increase in outsourcing opportunities.

Our C&I bidding opportunities could be impacted by market disruptions, and as a result, the growth of our C&I market will 
be heavily dependent on the timing and pace of the overall market recovery. We believe that the primary markets we serve, such 
as health care, transportation, data centers, warehousing, clean energy and water/waste-water projects, may be somewhat less 
vulnerable to economic slowing.

In addition, the United States has experienced decades of underfunded economic expansion and aging infrastructure which 
have challenged the capacity of public water and transportation infrastructure forcing states and municipalities to seek creative 
means to fund needed expansion and repair. We believe the need for expanding public infrastructure will offer opportunity in our 
C&I segment for several years. Legislation and regulation that promotes domestic manufacturing could also create opportunity for 
our C&I segment. We expect the long-term growth in our C&I segment to generally track the overall growth of the regions we 
serve. 

We continued to implement strategies that further expand our capabilities and effectively allocate capital. We have focused 
on strengthening our balance sheet by reducing our variable rate outstanding debt in the current higher interest rate environment, 
which has increased our liquidity and allows us to take advantage of future opportunities as they arise. During 2023 and 2022, the 
Company repurchased 25,042 and 442,167 shares, respectively of its common stock under repurchase programs at a weighted-
average price of $114.55 and $83.64 per share, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had $72.5 million of remaining 
availability to purchase shares under our current program, which continues in effect until May 8, 2024, or until the authorized 
funds are exhausted. Additionally, on January 4, 2022, we acquired all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Powerline 
Plus Ltd. and its affiliate (collectively, the “Powerline Plus Companies"), which expanded our distribution operations in Ontario, 
Canada.

We continue to manage our increasing operating costs, including increasing insurance, equipment, labor and material costs. 
We believe that our financial position, positive cash flows and other operational strengths will enable us to respond to challenges 
and uncertainties in the markets we serve and give us the flexibility to successfully execute our strategy. We continue to invest in 
developing key management and craft personnel in both our T&D and C&I markets and in procuring the specific specialty 
equipment and tooling needed to win and execute projects of all sizes and complexity. In 2023 and 2022, we invested in capital 
expenditures of approximately $84.7 million and $77.1 million, respectively. Most of our capital expenditures supported 
opportunities in our T&D business. We plan to continue to evaluate our needs for additional equipment and tooling. 

Understanding Backlog

We define backlog as our estimated revenue on uncompleted contracts, including the amount of revenue on contracts for 
which work has not begun, less the revenue we have recognized under such contracts. Backlog may not accurately represent the 
revenues that we expect to realize during any particular period. Several factors, such as the timing of contract awards, the type and 
duration of contracts, and the mix of subcontractor and material costs in our projects, can impact our backlog at any point in time. 
Some of our revenue does not appear in our periodic backlog reporting because the award of the project, as well as the execution 
of the work, can all take place within the period. For many of our unit-price, time-and-equipment, time-and-materials and cost-
plus contracts, we only include projected revenue for a three-month period in the calculation of backlog, although these types of 
contracts are generally awarded as part of MSAs that typically have a one- to three-year duration from execution. Additionally, 
the difference between our backlog and remaining performance obligations is due to the exclusion of a portion of our MSAs under 
certain contract types from our remaining performance obligations as these contracts can be canceled for convenience at any time 
by us or the customer without considerable cost incurred by the customer. Our backlog includes projects that have a written 
award, a letter of intent, a notice to proceed or an agreed upon work order to perform work on mutually accepted terms and 
conditions. Our estimated backlog also includes our proportionate share of our unconsolidated joint venture contracts.

Changes in backlog from period to period are primarily the result of fluctuations in the timing of awards, type of awards and 

revenue recognition of contracts. Backlog should not be relied upon as a stand-alone indicator of future events.

Understanding Gross Margins

Our gross margin is gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenues. Gross profit is calculated by subtracting contract costs 

from revenue. Contract costs consist primarily of salaries, wages and benefits to employees, depreciation, fuel and other 
equipment expenses, equipment rentals, subcontracted services, insurance, facilities expenses, materials and parts and supplies. 
Various factors affect our gross margins on a quarterly or annual basis, including those listed below.

Performance Risk.   Margins may fluctuate because of the volume of work and the impacts of pricing and job productivity, 
which can be impacted both favorably and negatively by customer decisions and crew productivity, as well as other factors. When 
comparing a service contract between periods, factors affecting the gross margins associated with the revenues generated by the 
contract may include pricing under the contract, the volume of work performed under the contract, the mix of the type of work 
specifically being performed, the availability of labor resources at expected labor rates and the productivity of the crews 
performing the work. Productivity can be influenced by many factors including the experience level of the crew, whether the work 
is on an open or encumbered right of way, weather conditions, geographical conditions, trade stacking, performance of other sub-
trades, schedule changes, effects of environmental restrictions, equipment availability and regulatory and permitting delays.

Revenue Mix and Contract Terms.   The mix of revenue derived from the industries we serve will impact gross margins. 
Changes in our customers’ spending patterns in each of the industries we serve can cause an imbalance in supply and demand and, 
therefore, affect margins and mix of revenue by industry served. Storm restoration services typically command higher profit 
margins than other maintenance services. Seasonal and weather factors, as noted below, can impact the timing at which customers 
perform maintenance and repairs, which can cause a shift in the revenue mix. Some of our time-and-equipment, time-and-
materials and cost-plus contracts include shared savings clauses, in which the contract includes a target price and we agree to 
share savings from that target price with our customer. Additionally, new construction work has a higher gross margin than 
maintenance and repair work. New construction work is often obtained on a fixed-price basis, which carries a higher risk than 
other types of pricing arrangements because a contractor can bear the risk of increased expenses. As such, we generally bid fixed-
price contracts with higher profit margins. We typically derive approximately 25% to 45% of our revenue from maintenance and 
repair work that is performed under pre-established or negotiated prices or cost-plus pricing arrangements which generally allow 
us a set margin above our costs. Thus, the mix between new construction work, at fixed-price, and maintenance and repair work, 
at cost-plus, in a given period will impact gross margin in that period. The timing of accounting recognition of such savings can 
impact our margins. In addition, change orders and claims can impact our margins. Costs related to change orders and claims are 
recognized in contract costs when incurred, but revenue related to change orders is only recognized when it is probable that the 
change order will result in an addition to contract value and can be reliably estimated, whereas revenue related to claims is 
recognized only to the extent that contract costs related to the claim have been incurred and when it is probable that the claim will 
result in an addition to contract value which can be reliably estimated. Generally, no profit is recognized on a claim until final 
settlement occurs.

Seasonal, Weather and Geographical.   Seasonal and changing patterns, primarily related to weather conditions and the 

availability of system outages, can have a significant impact on gross margins in a given period. It is typical during the 
winter months that parts of the country may experience snow or rainfall, which can affect our crews’ ability to work efficiently. 
Recent abnormal weather patterns including those related to excessive rainfall and increased thaw and freeze cycles also affect 
our crews’ ability to work efficiently. Additionally, our T&D customers often cannot remove their T&D lines from service during 
the summer months, when consumer demand for electricity is at its peak, delaying maintenance and repair services. In both cases, 
projects may be delayed or temporarily placed on hold. Conversely, in periods when weather remains dry and temperatures are 
moderate, more work can be done, sometimes with less cost, which would have a favorable impact on gross margins. The mix of 
business conducted in different parts of the country could also affect margins, as some parts of the country offer the opportunity 
for higher margins than others due to the geographic characteristics associated with the location where the work is being 
performed. Such characteristics include whether the project is performed in an urban versus a rural setting; in a mountainous area 
or in open terrain; or in normal soil conditions or rocky terrain. Site conditions, including unforeseen underground conditions, can 
also impact margins.

Depreciation and Amortization.   We include depreciation on equipment and finance lease amortization in contract costs. 
This is common practice in our industry, but can make comparability to other companies difficult. We spend a significant amount 
of capital on property, facilities and equipment, with the majority of such expenditures being used to purchase additional 
specialized equipment to enhance our fleet and to reduce our reliance on lease arrangements and short term equipment rentals. We 
believe the investment in specialized equipment helps to reduce our costs, improve our margins and provide us with valuable 
flexibility to take on additional and complex projects.

32

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Material and Subcontract Costs.   Projects that include a greater amount of material or subcontractor costs can experience 
lower overall project gross margins as we typically add a lower mark-up to material and subcontractor costs in our bids than what 
we would to our labor and equipment cost. In addition, successful completion of our contracts may depend on whether our 
subcontractors successfully fulfill their contractual obligations. If our subcontractors fail to satisfactorily perform their contractual 
obligations as a result of financial or other difficulties, we may be required to incur additional costs and provide additional 
services in order to make up for such shortfalls. Additionally, we are required to allocate more working capital to projects when 
we are required to provide materials.

Insurance.   Gross margins could be impacted by fluctuations in insurance accruals related to our deductibles and loss history 
in the period in which such adjustments are made. We carry insurance policies, which are subject to high deductibles, for workers’ 
compensation, general liability, automobile liability and other coverages. Losses up to the deductible amounts are accrued based 
upon estimates of the ultimate liability for claims reported and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported.

Fleet Availability, Cost, Utilization, Estimation, and Bidding.   We operate a centrally-managed fleet in the United States in 

an effort to control rising costs and achieve efficient equipment utilization. We also develop internal equipment rates which 
provide our business units with appropriate cost information to estimate bids for new projects. Availability of equipment for a 
particular contract is determined by our internal fleet ordering process which is designed to optimize the use of internal fleet 
assets and allocate equipment costs to individual contracts. We believe these processes allow us to utilize our equipment 
efficiently, which leads to improved gross margins. Transmission and distribution projects can require different types of 
equipment. A significant shift in project mix or timing could impact fleet utilization, causing gross margins to vary. 

Cost of Material.   On fixed-price contracts where we are required to provide materials, our overall gross margin may be 
affected if we experience increases in the quantity or costs of materials. Projects that include a greater amount of material cost can 
experience lower overall project gross margins as we typically add a lower mark-up to material cost in our bids than what we 
would add to our labor and equipment cost.

Our team of trained estimators helps us to determine potential costs and revenues and make informed decisions on whether to 
bid for a project and, if bid, the rates to use in estimating the costs for that bid. The ability to accurately estimate labor, equipment, 
subcontracting and material costs in connection with a new project may affect the gross margins achieved for the project.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) consist primarily of compensation, related benefits and employee 

costs for management and administrative personnel, office rent and utilities, stock compensation, communications, professional 
fees, depreciation, IT expenses, marketing costs and bad debt expense.

Revenues.   Revenues increased $635.4 million, or 21.1%, to $3.64 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $3.01 

billion for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $297.5 million in revenue on 
transmission projects, an increase of $291.9 million in C&I revenue across certain geographical areas and an increase of $45.9 
million in revenue on distribution projects. Clean energy projects increased revenue in both of our segments during the year ended 
December 31, 2023.

Gross margin.   Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased to 10.0% compared to 11.4% for the year 
ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in gross margin was primarily impacted by significant changes in our estimated gross 
profit on certain projects resulting in a net gross margin decrease of 1.7% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to a 
net decrease of 0.4% for the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, significant estimate 
changes negatively impacted gross margin by 2.1% and largely related to labor and project inefficiencies, some of which were 
caused by rising costs associated with supply chain disruptions, inflation and inclement weather experienced on certain projects. 
In addition, significant estimate changes in gross profit positively impacted gross margin by 0.4% and mainly related to favorable 
change orders, better-than-anticipated productivity and favorable weather on a project. Gross margin was also negatively 
impacted by inflation and an adjustment of $3.2 million associated with sales tax accruals for prior periods in one of our operating 
areas.

Gross profit.   Gross profit increased $20.4 million, or 5.9%, to $364.4 million for year ended December 31, 2023 from 

$344.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, due to higher revenues, partially offset by lower margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses.   SG&A was $234.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase 
of $12.2 million from $222.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an 
increase in employee-related expenses to support the growth in our operations and an increase of $5.0 million related to 
contingent compensation expense related to a prior acquisition. 

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 
compared to $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The period-over-period decrease of $4.1 million was primarily 
due to $4.0 million of intangible amortization associated with the one-year amortization of backlog acquired with the Powerline 
Plus Companies during the year end December 31, 2022.

Gain on sale of property and equipment.   Gains from the sale of property and equipment in the year ended December 31, 

2023 were $4.2 million compared to $2.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. Gains from the sale of property and 
equipment are attributable to routine sales of property and equipment that are no longer useful or valuable to our ongoing 
operations.

Interest expense.   Interest expense was $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $3.6 million for the 
year ended December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to higher interest rates partially offset by lower average 
debt balances during the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.

Other income (expense), net. Other income was not significant for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to other 

expense of $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The change was largely due to funds received in the prior year  
under the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy program, which were attributable to a C&I segment company.

Income tax expense.   Income tax expense was $34.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, with an effective tax rate 

of 27.2%, compared to $30.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, with an effective tax rate of 27.0%. The increase in 
the tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to higher other permanent difference items, partially offset 
by a higher favorable impact from stock compensation excess tax benefits.

Net income.   Net income increased to $91.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $83.4 million for the year 

ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily for the reasons stated above.

Revenues for our T&D segment for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $2.09 billion compared to $1.75 billion for the 

year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $343.4 million, or 19.7%. The increase in revenue was related to an increase of 
$297.5 million in revenue on transmission projects, primarily related to an increase in revenue on clean energy projects, and an 
increase of $45.9 million in revenue on distribution projects. Revenues from transmission projects represented 66.1% and 62.1%, 
of T&D segment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 

Operating income for our T&D segment for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $149.7 million compared to $138.9 
million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $10.8 million, or 7.8%. The increase in T&D operating income from 
the prior year was primarily due to higher revenues as discussed above. As a percentage of revenues operating income for our 
T&D segment was 7.2% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to 8.0% for the year ended December 31, 2022. 
Operating income margin was impacted by significant changes in our estimated gross profit on certain projects resulting in a net 
operating income margin decrease of 1.5% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to a net decrease of 0.1% for the 
year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, significant estimated gross profit changes negatively 
impacted operating income as a percentage of revenues by 1.7% and largely related to labor and project inefficiencies, some of 
which were associated with clean energy projects, inclement weather, supply chain disruptions and inflation. These decreases 
were partially offset by positive significant estimated gross profit changes totaling 0.2% of revenues mostly related to favorable 
change orders, better-than-anticipated productivity and favorable weather on a project. Additionally, T&D operating income for 
the year ended December 31, 2022, was negatively impacted by $4.0 million of amortization related to the one-year amortization 
of backlog acquired with the Powerline Plus Companies.

Commercial & Industrial

Revenues for our C&I segment for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $1.55 billion compared to $1.26 billion for the 
year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $291.9 million, or 23.1%, primarily due to higher revenue related to clean energy 
projects in certain geographical areas. The increase in revenue included an increase of $223.4 million in revenue on fixed priced 
contracts, an increase of $54.8 million on T&E contracts and an increase of $13.9 million in revenues on unit price work.

Operating income for our C&I segment for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $45.9 million compared to $43.2 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $2.7 million, or 6.3%. The year-over-year increase in operating income was 
primarily due to higher revenues as discussed above. Operating income, as a percentage of revenues, for our C&I segment 
decreased to 3.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023 from 3.4% for the year ended December 31, 2022. Operating income 
margin was impacted by significant changes in our estimated gross profit on certain projects resulting in a net operating income 
margin decrease of 2.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to a net decrease of 0.7% for the year ended 
December 31, 2022. Significant estimated gross profit changes negatively impacted operating income as a percentage of revenues 
by 2.6% and largely related to labor and project inefficiencies, some of which were caused by supply chain disruptions and by 
rising costs associated with inflation. These decreases were partially offset by positive significant estimated gross profit changes 
totaling 0.6% of revenues mostly related to favorable change orders and better-than-anticipated productivity. Additionally, C&I 
operating income margin was negatively impacted by an adjustment of $3.2 million associated with an adjustment to sales tax 
accruals for prior periods in one of our operating areas, partially offset by improved productivity on a project that started in 2023 
and favorable joint venture results.

Corporate expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 were consistent with corporate expenses for the year ended

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used by management that we define as net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. plus net 

income from noncontrolling interests, interest expense net of interest income, income tax expense and depreciation and 
amortization, as shown in the following table. EBITDA does not purport to be an alternative to net income attributable to MYR 
Group Inc. as a measure of operating performance or to net cash flows provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity. 
We believe that EBITDA is useful to investors and other external users of our Consolidated Financial Statements in evaluating 
our operating performance and cash flow because EBITDA is widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating 
performance without regard to items such as interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which can vary substantially 
from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, useful lives placed on assets, capital 
structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Because not all companies define EBITDA as we do, this presentation of 
EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies. We use, and we believe investors benefit 
from, the presentation of EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance because it provides us and our investors with an 
additional tool to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain items that 
management believes do not directly reflect our core operations. 

Using EBITDA as a performance measure has material limitations as compared to net income, or other financial measures as 

defined under GAAP, as it excludes certain recurring items, which may be meaningful to investors. EBITDA excludes interest 
expense net of interest income; however, as we have borrowed money to finance transactions and operations, or invested available 
cash to generate interest income, interest expense and interest income are elements of our cost structure and can affect our ability 
to generate revenue and returns for our shareholders. Further, EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization; however, as we 
use capital and intangible assets to generate revenues, depreciation and amortization are necessary elements of our costs and 
ability to generate revenue. Finally, EBITDA excludes income taxes; however, as we are organized as a corporation, the payment 
of taxes is a necessary element of our operations. As a result of these exclusions from EBITDA, any measure that excludes 
interest expense net of interest income, depreciation and amortization and income taxes has material limitations as compared to 
net income. When using EBITDA as a performance measure, management compensates for these limitations by comparing 
EBITDA to net income in each period, to allow for the comparison of the performance of the underlying core operations with the 
overall performance of the company on a full-cost, after-tax basis. Using both EBITDA and net income to evaluate the business 
allows management and investors to (a) assess our relative performance against our competitors and (b) monitor our capacity to 
generate returns for our shareholders.

We also use EBITDA as a liquidity measure. Certain material covenants contained within our credit agreement (the “Credit 
Agreement”) are based on EBITDA with certain additional adjustments as defined in the Credit Agreement. Non-compliance with 
these financial covenants under the Credit Agreement — our interest coverage ratio which is defined in the Credit Agreement as 
Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) divided by interest expense (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and 
our net leverage ratio, which is defined in the Credit Agreement as Total Net Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement), 
divided by Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) — could result in our lenders requiring us to immediately 
repay all amounts borrowed. If we anticipated a potential covenant violation, we would seek relief from our lenders, likely 
causing us to incur additional cost, and such relief might not be available, or if available, might not be on terms as favorable as 
those in the Credit Agreement. In addition, if we cannot satisfy these financial covenants, we would be prohibited under the Credit 
Agreement from engaging in certain activities, such as incurring additional indebtedness, making certain payments, and acquiring 
or disposing of assets. Based on the information above, management believes that the presentation of EBITDA as a liquidity 
measure is useful to investors and relevant to their assessment of our capacity to service or incur debt, fund capital expenditures, 
finance acquisitions and expand our operations.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Material Cash Requirements

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had working capital of $279.0 million and $223.3 million, respectively. During the 
year ended December 31, 2023, our operating activities provided cash of $71.0 million, compared to $167.5 million for the year 
ended December 31, 2022. Cash flow from operations is primarily influenced by operating margins, timing of contract 
performance and the type of services we provide to our customers. The $96.5 million year-over-year decline in cash provided by 
operating activities was primarily due to unfavorable net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $93.9 million, offset by a 
$7.6 million increase in net income. The unfavorable change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to the net 
unfavorable year-over-year changes in various working capital accounts that relate primarily to construction activities (accounts 
receivable, contract assets, accounts payable and contract liabilities) of $133.0 million, partially offset by the favorable change of 
$43.6 million in other liabilities. The net unfavorable changes of $133.0 million in cash provided by working capital accounts, 
mainly related to construction activities, was due to the timing of billings and payments under our contracts. The favorable change 
of $43.6 million in other liabilities was primarily due to the timing of employee related wage and tax payments.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we used net cash of $79.1 million and $185.7 million, respectively, in 
investing activities. The $79.1 million of cash used in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2023 consisted of $84.7 
million for capital expenditures, partially offset by $5.6 million of proceeds from the sale of equipment. The $185.7 million of 
cash used in investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2022 consisted of $110.7 million to acquire the Powerline Plus 
Companies and $77.1 million for capital expenditures, partially offset by $2.0 million of proceeds from the sale of equipment.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we used cash of $18.4 million, and $9.3 million, respectively in 
financing activities. The $18.4 million of cash used in financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2023 consisted 
primarily of $7.9 million of shares repurchased to satisfy tax obligations under our stock compensation programs, $4.6 million of 
payments under our equipment notes, $2.9 million of share repurchases under our share repurchase program, $2.1 million of debt 
refinancing costs and $1.1 million of repayments of finance lease obligations, partially offset by $0.3 million of net borrowings 
under our revolving line of credit. The $9.3 million of cash used in financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2022 
consisted primarily of $37.0 million of shares repurchases under our share repurchase program, $6.8 million of shares repurchased 
to satisfy tax obligations under our stock compensation programs, $1.6 million of repayments of finance lease obligations and 
$1.0 million of net repayments under our master equipment loan agreements. These uses of cash during the year ended 
December 31, 2022, were partially offset by $24.2 million of borrowing under our equipment notes and $12.9 million of net 
borrowing under our revolving line of credit. 

We believe our $442.4 million borrowing availability under our revolving line of credit at December 31, 2023, future cash 

flow from operations and our ability to utilize short-term and long-term leases will provide sufficient liquidity for our short-term 
and long-term needs. Our primary short-term liquidity needs include cash for operations, debt service requirements, capital 
expenditures, and acquisition and joint venture opportunities. We believe we have adequate sources of liquidity to meet our long-
term liquidity needs and foreseeable material cash requirements, including those associated with funding future acquisition 
opportunities. We continue to invest in developing key management and craft personnel in both our T&D and C&I segments and 
in procuring the specific specialty equipment and tooling needed to win and execute projects of all sizes and complexity.

We have not historically paid dividends and currently do not expect to pay dividends.

Debt Instruments

Credit Agreement

On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into a five-year third amended and restated credit agreement with a maturity date of 
May 31, 2028, (the “Credit Agreement”) through a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, 
N.A, that provides for a $490 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), subject to certain financial covenants as defined in 
the Credit Agreement. The Facility allows for revolving loans in Canadian dollars and other non-US currencies, up to the U.S. 
dollars equivalent of $150 million. Up to $75 million of the Facility may be used for letters of credit, with an additional $75 
million available for letters of credit, subject to the sole discretion of each issuing bank. The Facility also allows for $15 million to 
be used for swingline loans. The Company has an expansion option to increase the commitments under the Facility or enter into 
incremental term loans, subject to certain conditions, by up to an additional $200 million upon receipt of additional commitments 
from new or existing lenders. Subject to certain exceptions, the Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the 
Company and its domestic subsidiaries, and by a pledge of substantially all of the capital stock of the Company’s domestic 
subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of the direct foreign subsidiaries of the Company. Additionally, subject to certain 
exceptions, the Company’s domestic subsidiaries also guarantee the repayment of all amounts due under the Credit Agreement. 
The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, on the terms and 
subject to the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, amounts outstanding under the Facility may be accelerated and may 
become or be declared immediately due and payable. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are used to refinance existing 
indebtedness, and to provide for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (1) the 
Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.00%; or (2) the 
Term Benchmark Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00%. The 
applicable margin is determined based on the Company’s Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit 
Agreement establishes Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as the 
benchmark rate in replacement of LIBOR. Letters of credit issued under the Facility are subject to a letter of credit fee of 1.25% to 
2.00% for non-performance letters of credit or 0.625% to 1.00% for performance letters of credit, based on the Company’s Net 
Leverage Ratio. The Company is subject to a commitment fee of 0.20% to 0.30%, based on the Company’s Net Leverage Ratio, 
on any unused portion of the Facility. The Credit Agreement restricts certain types of payments when the Company’s Net 
Leverage Ratio, after giving pro forma effect thereto, exceeds 2.75.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants including a maximum Net Leverage Ratio 

of 3.0 and a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 3.0. The Credit Agreement also contains 
covenants including limitations on asset sales, investments, indebtedness and liens. The Company was in compliance with all of 
its financial covenants under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $13.2 million debt outstanding under the Facility. We had $12.9 million debt outstanding 

under a previous facility as of December 31, 2022.

Letters of Credit

Some of our vendors require letters of credit to ensure reimbursement for amounts they are disbursing on our behalf, such as 
to beneficiaries under our insurance programs. In addition, from time to time, certain customers or our sureties require us to post 
letters of credit to ensure payment to our subcontractors and vendors and guarantee performance under our contracts. Such letters 
of credit are generally issued by a bank or similar financial institution typically pursuant to our senior credit facility. Each letter of 
credit commits the issuer to pay specified amounts to the holder of the letter of credit if the holder claims that we have failed to 
perform specified actions. If this were to occur, we would be required to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit. Depending on 
the circumstances of such a reimbursement, we may also have to record a charge to earnings for the reimbursement.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $34.4 million in letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Agreement, including $27.1 

million related to the Company's payment obligations under its insurance programs and approximately $7.3 million related to 
contract performance obligations. As of December 31, 2022, we had $12.8 million in letters of credit outstanding under our 
previous credit agreement which were almost entirely related to the Company's payment obligations under its insurance programs. 
We are not aware of any claims currently asserted or threatened under any of these letters of credit that are material, individually 
or in the aggregate. However, to the extent payment is required for any such claims, the amount paid could be material and could 
adversely affect cash flows.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Equipment Notes

We have entered into multiple Master Loan Agreements with multiple banks. The Master Loan Agreements may be used for 

financing of equipment between us and the lenders pursuant to one or more equipment notes (“Equipment Notes”). Each 
Equipment Note constitutes a separate, distinct and independent financing of equipment and contractual obligation.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had two outstanding Equipment Notes collateralized by equipment and vehicles 
owned by us. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we also had one other equipment note outstanding collateralized by a vehicle 
owned by us. The outstanding balance of all Equipment Notes was $23.0 million as of December 31, 2023, of which $7.1 million 
was due in the next twelve months. The outstanding balance of these Equipment Notes was $27.6 million as of December 31, 
2022, of which $5.1 million was due in the next twelve months.

Lease Obligations

From time to time, the Company enters into non-cancelable leases for some of our facility, vehicle and equipment needs. 

These leases allow the Company to conserve cash by paying a monthly lease rental fee for the use of facilities, vehicles and 
equipment rather than purchasing them. The Company’s leases have remaining terms ranging from one to ten years, some of 
which may include options to extend the leases for up to six years, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases 
within one year. Typically, the Company has purchase options on the equipment underlying its long-term leases and many of its 
short-term rental arrangements. The Company may exercise some of these purchase options when the need for equipment is 
ongoing and the purchase option price is attractive. 

The outstanding balance of operating lease obligations was $35.0 million as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 
2023, we had outstanding short-term and long-term operating lease obligations of approximately $9.2 million and $25.8 million, 
respectively. The outstanding balance of operating lease obligations was $30.5 million as of December 31, 2022. As of 
December 31, 2022, we had outstanding short-term and long-term operating lease obligations of approximately $9.7 million and 
$20.8 million, respectively. 

As of December 31, 2023, we had $2.3 million outstanding finance lease obligations, consisting of short-term and long-term 

finance lease obligations of approximately $2.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, we had 
$3.4 million outstanding finance lease obligations, consisting of short-term and long-term finance lease obligations of 
approximately $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Purchase Commitments for Construction Equipment

As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately $32.5 million in outstanding purchase obligations for certain construction 

equipment to be paid with cash outlays scheduled to occur in 2024.

Performance and Payment Bonds and Parent Guarantees

Many customers, particularly in connection with new construction, require us to post performance and payment bonds 
typically issued by a surety or insurance company. These bonds provide a guarantee to the customer that we will perform under 
the terms of a contract and that we will pay subcontractors and vendors. If we fail to perform under a contract or to pay 
subcontractors and vendors, the customer may demand that the surety make payments or provide services under the bond. We 
must reimburse the respective issuers of the bonds for any claim expenses or outlays they incur. Under our continuing indemnity 
and security agreements with the issuers of the bonds, we may be required to grant them a security interest relating to a particular 
project. We believe that it is unlikely that we will have to fund significant claims under our surety arrangements. As of 
December 31, 2023, an aggregate of approximately $2.44 billion in original face amount of bonds issued by our sureties were 
outstanding. Our estimated remaining cost to complete these bonded projects was approximately $726.1 million as of 
December 31, 2023.

From time to time we guarantee the obligations of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, including obligations under certain 
contracts with customers, certain lease agreements, and, in some states, obligations in connection with obtaining contractors’ 
licenses. Additionally, from time to time we are required to post letters of credit to guarantee the obligations of our wholly-owned 
subsidiaries, which reduces the borrowing availability under our credit facility.

Concentration of Credit Risk

We grant trade credit under contractual payment terms, generally without collateral, to our customers, which include high 

credit quality electric utilities, governmental entities, general contractors and builders, owners and managers of commercial and 
industrial properties. Consequently, we are subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business and economic factors. 
However, we generally have certain statutory lien rights with respect to services provided. Under certain circumstances such as 
foreclosures or negotiated settlements, we may take title to the underlying assets in lieu of cash in settlement of receivables. As of 
December 31, 2023 and 2022, none of our customers individually exceeded 10.0% of our accounts receivable.

New Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1 — Organization, Business and Significant Accounting 

Policies in the Notes to our Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our Financial Statements, which 

have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist 
at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We 
evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to 
be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. We 
believe the following accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our 
Financial Statements:

Revenue Recognition.   We recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that 
reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services provided. Revenue associated with 
contracts with customers is recognized over time as our performance creates or enhances customer-controlled assets or creates or 
enhances an asset with no alternative use, for which we have an enforceable right to receive compensation as defined under the 
contract. To determine the amount of revenue to recognize over time, we estimate profit by determining the difference between 
total estimated revenue and total estimated cost of a contract. In addition, we estimate a cost accrual every quarter that represents 
unbilled invoicing activity for services performed by subcontractors and suppliers during the quarter, and estimate revenue from 
the contract cost portion of this accrual based on current gross margin rates to be consistent with our cost method of revenue 
recognition. The estimated value of unbilled amounts are determined using a regression analysis that estimates value based on our 
historical experience, and is adjusted for large individual projects. The profit and corresponding revenue is recognized over the 
contract term based on costs incurred under the cost-to-cost method. We utilized the cost-to-cost method as we believe cost 
incurred best represents the amount of work completed and remaining on our projects, and is the most common basis for 
computing percentage of completion in our industry. For purposes of recognizing revenue, we follow the five-step approach 
outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606.

As the cost-to-cost method is driven by incurred cost, we calculate the percentage of completion by dividing costs incurred to 
date by the total estimated cost. The percentage of completion is then multiplied by estimated revenues to determine inception-to-
date revenue. Revenue recognized for the period is the current inception-to-date recognized revenue less the prior period 
inception-to-date recognized revenue. If a contract is projected to result in a loss, the entire contract loss is recognized in the 
period when the loss was first determined and the amount of the loss is updated in subsequent reporting periods. Because our 
billings are based on contract terms and do not coincide with our progress in a project, revenue recognition also includes an 
amount related to our contract asset or contract liability. If the recognized revenue is greater than the amount billed to the 
customer, a contract asset is recorded. Additionally, the contract asset includes retainage billed to the customer that cannot be 
collected until the contract work has been completed and approved. Conversely, if the amount billed to the customer is greater 
than the recognized revenue, a contract liability is recorded. Additionally, the contract liability includes a liability for the excess 
of costs over revenues for all contracts that are in a loss position.

Contract costs incurred to date and expected total contract costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract. 

Changes in the job performance, job conditions and final contract settlements are factors that influence management’s assessment 
of total contract value and the total estimated costs to complete those contracts, and therefore, profit and revenue recognition. 
Additionally, we estimate costs to complete on fixed price contracts which are determined on an individual contract basis by 
evaluating each project’s status as of the balance sheet date, and using our historical experience with the level of effort required to 
complete the underlying project. Claims and change orders are also measured based on our historical experience with individual 
customers and similar contracts, and are evaluated by management individually. A change order is a modification to a contract 
that changes the provisions of the contract, typically resulting from changes in scope, specifications, design, manner of 
performance, facilities, equipment, materials, sites, or period of completion of the work under the contract. A claim is an amount 
in excess of the agreed-upon contract price that we seek to collect from our clients or others for client-caused delays, errors in 
specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders that are either in dispute or are unapproved as to both scope and 
price, or other causes. We include these estimated amounts of variable consideration to the extent that it is probable there will not 
be a significant reversal of revenue. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenues of $76.5 million and $19.6 
million, respectively, related to significant change orders and/or claims that had been included as contract price adjustments on 
certain contracts, some of which are multi-year projects.

Some of our contracts may have contract terms that include variable consideration such as safety or performance bonuses or 
liquidated damages. In accordance with ASC 606, we estimate the variable consideration using one of two methods. In contracts 
in which there is a binary outcome, the most likely amount method is used. In instances in which there is a range of possible 
outcomes, the expected value method is used. In accordance with ASC 606, we include the estimated amount of variable 
consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative 
recognized revenue will not occur when the final outcome of the variable consideration is determined. In contracts in which a 
significant reversal may occur, we use constraint in recognizing revenue on variable consideration. Although we often enter into 
contracts that contain liquidated damage clauses, we rarely incur them, and as such, we do not include amounts associated with 
liquidated damage clauses until it is probable that liquidated damages will occur. These items are continually monitored by 
multiple levels of management throughout the reporting period.

A portion of the work we perform requires financial assurances in the form of performance and payment bonds or letters of 

credit at the time of execution of the contract. Many of our contracts include retention provisions of up to 10%, which are 
generally withheld from each progress payment as retainage until the contract work has been completed and approved.

The accuracy of our revenue and profit recognition in a given period is dependent on the accuracy of our estimates of the cost 

to complete each project. Cost estimates for all of our significant projects use a detailed “bottoms up” approach and we believe 
our experience typically allows us to provide materially reliable estimates. There are a number of factors that can contribute to 
changes in estimates of contract cost and profitability. The most significant of these include, among others:

• the completeness and accuracy of the original bid;

• costs associated with scope changes, change orders or claims;

• costs of labor and/or materials;

• extended overhead due to owner, weather and other delays;

• subcontractor performance issues;
• changes in productivity expectations;

• site conditions that differ from those assumed in the original bid (to the extent contract remedies are unavailable);

• the availability and skill level of workers in the geographic location of the project; and

• a change in the availability and proximity of equipment and materials.

The foregoing factors as well as the stage of completion of contracts in process and the mix of contracts at different margins 

may cause fluctuations in gross profit between periods. During the year ended December 31, 2023, changes in estimates 
pertaining to certain projects decreased consolidated gross margin by 1.7%. During the year ended December 31, 2022, changes 
in estimates pertaining to certain projects decreased consolidated gross margin by 0.4%. During the year ended December 31, 
2021, changes in estimates pertaining to certain projects increased consolidated gross margin by 0.4%.

We provide warranties to customers on a basis customary to the industry; however, the warranty period does not typically 

exceed one year. Historically, warranty claims have not been material.

Total revenues do not include sales tax as we consider ourselves a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales 
taxes. Sales tax and value added tax collected from customers is included in other current liabilities on our consolidated balance 
sheets.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Insurance.   We carry insurance policies, which are subject to certain deductibles, for workers’ compensation, general 
liability, automobile liability and other coverages. Our deductible for each line of coverage is up to $1.0 million. Certain health 
benefit plans are subject to stop-loss limits of up to $0.2 million, for qualified individuals. Losses up to the deductible and stop-
loss amounts are accrued based upon our estimates of the ultimate liability for claims reported and an estimate of claims incurred 
but not yet reported.

The insurance and claims accruals are based on known facts, actuarial estimates and historical trends. While recorded 
accruals are based on the ultimate liability, which includes amounts in excess of the deductible, a corresponding receivable for 
amounts in excess of the deductible is included in current assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

Stock-Based Compensation.   We determine compensation expense for stock-based awards based on the estimated fair values 

at the grant date and recognize the related compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. We use the straight-line 
amortization method to recognize compensation expense related to stock-based awards, such as restricted stock units, that have 
only service conditions. This method recognizes stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service 
period for the entire award. We recognize compensation expense related to performance awards that vest based on internal 
performance metrics and service conditions on a straight-line basis over the service period, but adjust inception-to-date expense 
based upon our determination of the expected achievement of the performance target at each reporting date which may vary from 
zero to 200% of the target performance awards. We recognize compensation expense related to performance awards with market-
based performance metrics on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. We recognize forfeitures as they occur. 
Shares issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation program are taken out of authorized but unissued shares.

Goodwill and Intangibles.   Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with 
finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. We perform either a qualitative or quantitative 
assessment to review goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment on an annual basis. This assessment is 
performed at the beginning of the fourth quarter, or when circumstances change, such as a significant adverse change in the 
business climate or the decision to sell a business, both of which would indicate that impairment may have occurred. Intangible 
assets with finite lives are also reviewed for impairment and tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 

A qualitative assessment considers financial, industry, segment and macroeconomic factors, if the qualitative assessment 

indicates a potential for impairment, a quantitative assessment is performed to determine if impairment exists. The quantitative 
assessment begins with a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit or intangible asset with its carrying value. If the 
carrying amount of the reporting unit or intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in an 
amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit or intangible asset. If the 
carrying value of goodwill or other indefinite lived assets exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge would be recorded 
in the statement of operations.

As a result of the annual qualitative review process in 2023 and 2022, we determined it was not necessary to perform a 
quantitative assessment. In 2021, we performed a quantitative assessment on our goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite 
lives; this assessment did not indicate that our goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets were impaired.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.   We do not generally charge interest to our customers, and we 

carry our customer receivables at their face amounts, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on our experience in 
recent years, the majority of customer balances at each balance sheet date are collected within twelve months. As is common 
practice in the industry, we classify all accounts receivable as current assets. The allowance for doubtful accounts associated with 
account receivables was $2.0 million as of December 31, 2023 and $2.1 million as of December 31, 2022.

We grant trade credit, on a non-collateralized basis (with the exception of lien rights against the property in certain cases) to 

our customers, and we are subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business and overall economic activity. We analyze 
specific accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in 
customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In the event that a customer 
balance is deemed to be uncollectible the account balance is written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We were not parties to any derivative instruments and had no derivative financial instruments during the years ended 

December 31, 2023, 2022 or 2021.

Any borrowings under our Facility are based upon interest rates that will vary depending upon the prime rate, Canadian prime 

rate, the NYFRB overnight bank funding rate, CDOR, and Term SOFR Reference Rate. If the prime rate, Canadian prime rate, 
the NYFRB overnight bank funding rate, CDOR, or Term SOFR Reference Rate rises, any interest payment obligations would 
increase and have a negative effect on our cash flow and financial condition. We currently do not maintain any hedging contracts 
that would limit our exposure to variable rates of interest when we have outstanding borrowings. As of December 31, 2023, we 
had $13.2 million of borrowings under our Facility. If market rates of interest on all our revolving debt as of December 31, 2023, 
which is subject to variable rates, permanently increased by 1%, the increase in interest expense on all revolving debt would 
decrease future income before provision for income taxes and cash flows by approximately $0.1 million annually. If market rates 
of interest on all our revolving debt, which is subject to variable rates as of December 31, 2023, permanently decreased by 1%, 
the decrease in interest expense on all debt would increase future income before provision for income taxes and cash flows by 
approximately $0.1 million annually.

Borrowings under our Equipment Notes are at fixed rates established on the date the note was executed.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined 

in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide 
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our Financial Statements for external 
purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that 
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of 
the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of 
financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in 
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) 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.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief 

Financial Officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon 
the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over 
financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023 in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial 
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable 

assurances and 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 
policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Crowe LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited and reported on the 2023 Financial Statements 

included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has audited the effectiveness of MYR Group’s internal control over financial 
reporting as of December 31, 2023 and has issued an attestation report on MYR Group’s internal control over financial reporting 
which appears herein.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MYR Group Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 
and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for 
each  of  the  years  in  the  three-year  period  ended  December  31,  2023,  and  the  related  notes  (collectively  referred  to  as  the 
“financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, 
based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  —  Integrated  Framework:  (2013)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  the 
Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-
year  period  ended  December  31,  2023,  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of 
America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting 
as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework: (2013) issued by COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, 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 financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. 
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“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 
audits  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement,  whether  due  to 
error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

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

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.

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.

Critical Audit Matter

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

Evaluation of estimated costs to complete and variable consideration for fixed price construction contracts 

As described in Note 1 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, Organization, Business, and Significant Accounting 
Policies,  and  Note  12,  Revenue  Recognition,  the  Company  recognizes  revenue  on  fixed  price  construction  projects  over  time 
using the cost-to-cost method. The amount of contract revenues and gross profit recognized on fixed price construction contracts 
is dependent on the contract price, the actual contract costs incurred, and the forecasted contract revenues and contract costs for 
construction projects. The recognition of revenue on fixed price construction contracts involves significant estimates due to the 
unique complexities of each construction project, uncertainty about estimates of costs to complete, and uncertainty in the outcome 
of discussions with customers on the valuation of change orders and claims. The Company measures progress towards completion 
using the cost-to-cost method, which measures the progress as the ratio of actual contract costs incurred to date to the estimated 
costs at completion. The Company recognizes revenue related to change orders only when it is probable that the change order will 
result in an addition to contract value and can be reliably estimated. The Company evaluates change orders and claims based on 
historical experience with the customer, similar contracts, and on an individual basis, which involves significant judgment. The 
Company recognizes these estimated amounts of variable consideration in transaction price to the extent that it is probable there 
will not be a significant reversal of revenue.

We  identified  auditing  management’s  estimates  of  variable  consideration  for  change  orders  and  claims  and  estimated  costs  to 
complete on select fixed price construction contracts to be a critical audit matter. The critical audit matter relates to select fixed 
price construction contracts, based on the magnitude of estimated costs to complete and the stage of completion of the contract. 
These estimates require management to make assumptions about future events and, as a result, a high degree of auditor judgment 
is  involved  in  auditing  these  estimates.  Due  to  the  factors  above,  auditing  management’s  estimates  of  costs  to  complete  and 
variable consideration required extensive audit procedures. 

Our audit procedures to address the critical audit matter included the following: 

– Tested  the  design,  implementation,  and  operating  effectiveness  of  controls  that  are  designed  to  address  the 
reasonableness  of  estimates  of  costs  to  complete  contracts  and  estimates  of  variable  consideration  recognized  on 
contracts;

– Evaluated  the  reasonableness  of  management’s  estimates  of  cost  to  complete  for  a  sample  of  fixed  price  construction 
contracts  through  testing  the  key  components  of  the  estimated  costs  to  complete,  including  materials,  labor,  and 
subcontractor costs; 

– Agreed a sample of contract costs incurred to supporting documentation; 
– Performed inquiries of management and project personnel regarding facts and circumstances relevant to the accounting 

for such contracts;

– Recalculated revenue recognition based on the percentage of completion of projects;
– Evaluated  variable  consideration  recognized  related  to  construction  projects  by  comparing  estimates  made  by 
management  to  subsequent  actual  data,  evaluating  the  contracts  and  other  documents  that  support  estimates  made  by 
management, and obtaining legal opinions from internal and external counsel; and 

– Performed  retrospective  review  procedures  to  assess  management’s  historical  ability  to  accurately  estimate  the 

transaction price and cost to complete of construction contracts. 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

MYR GROUP INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization, Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Business

MYR Group Inc. (the “Company”) is a holding company of specialty electrical construction service providers conducting 

operations through wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company performs construction services in two business segments: 
Transmission and Distribution (“T&D”) and Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”). T&D customers include investor-owned 
utilities, cooperatives, private developers, government-funded utilities, independent power producers, independent transmission 
companies, industrial facility owners and other contractors. T&D provides a broad range of services on electric transmission, 
distribution networks, substation facilities, clean energy projects and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. T&D services 
include design, engineering, procurement, construction, upgrade, maintenance and repair services. C&I customers include general 
contractors, commercial and industrial facility owners, government agencies and developers. C&I provides a broad range of 
services, which include design, installation, maintenance and repair of commercial and industrial wiring. Typical C&I contracts 
cover electrical contracting services for airports, hospitals, data centers, hotels, stadiums, commercial and industrial facilities, 
clean energy projects, manufacturing plants, processing facilities, water/waste-water treatment facilities, mining facilities, 
intelligent transportation systems, roadway lighting, signalization and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The accompanying Financial Statements include the results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant 

intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to 
conform to the current year presentation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the 

consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for goods or services provided. Revenue associated with 
contracts with customers is recognized over time as the Company’s performance creates or enhances customer-controlled assets 
or creates or enhances an asset with no alternative use, for which the Company has an enforceable right to receive compensation 
as defined under the contract. To determine the amount of revenue to recognize over time, the Company estimates profit by 
determining the difference between total estimated revenue and total estimated cost of a contract. In addition, the Company 
estimates a cost accrual every quarter that represents unbilled invoicing activity for services performed by subcontractors and 
suppliers during the quarter, and estimates revenue from the contract cost portion of this accrual based on current gross margin 
rates to be consistent with its cost method of revenue recognition. The estimated value of unbilled amounts are determined using a 
regression analysis that estimates value based on the Company’s historical experience, and is adjusted for large individual 
projects. The profit and corresponding revenue is recognized over the contract term based on costs incurred under the cost-to-cost 
method. The Company utilizes the cost-to-cost method as it believes cost incurred best represents the amount of work completed 
and remaining on projects, and is the most common basis for computing percentage of completion in the industry. For purposes of 
recognizing revenue, the Company follows the five-step approach outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606.

As the cost-to-cost method is driven by incurred cost, the Company calculates the percentage of completion by dividing costs 

incurred to date by the total estimated cost. The percentage of completion is then multiplied by estimated revenues to determine 
inception-to-date revenue. Revenue recognized for the period is the current inception-to-date recognized revenue less the prior 
period inception-to-date recognized revenue. If a contract is projected to result in a loss, the entire contract loss is recognized in 
the period when the loss was first determined and the amount of the loss is updated in subsequent reporting periods. Because the 
Company’s billings are based on contract terms and do not coincide with our progress in a project, revenue recognition also 
includes an amount related to a contract asset or contract liability. If the recognized revenue is greater than the amount billed to 
the customer, a contract asset is recorded. Additionally, the contract asset includes retainage billed to the customer that cannot be 
collected until the contract work has been completed and approved. Conversely, if the amount billed to the customer is greater 
than the recognized revenue, a contract liability is recorded. Additionally, the contract liability includes a liability for the excess 
of costs over revenues for all contracts that are in a loss position.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Contract costs incurred to date and expected total contract costs are continuously monitored during the term of the contract. 

Changes in the job performance, job conditions and final contract settlements are factors that influence management’s assessment 
of total contract value and the total estimated costs to complete those contracts, and therefore, profit and revenue recognition. 
Additionally, the Company estimates costs to complete on fixed price contracts which are determined on an individual contract 
basis by evaluating each project’s status as of the balance sheet date, and using our historical experience with the level of effort 
required to complete the underlying project. Claims and change orders are also measured based on our historical experience with 
individual customers and similar contracts, and are evaluated by management individually. A change order is a modification to a 
contract that changes the provisions of the contract, typically resulting from changes in scope, specifications, design, manner of 
performance, facilities, equipment, materials, sites, or period of completion of the work under the contract. A claim is an amount 
in excess of the agreed-upon contract price that the Company seeks to collect from its clients or others for client-caused delays, 
errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders that are either in dispute or are unapproved as to both 
scope and price, or other causes. The Company includes these estimated amounts of variable consideration to the extent that it is 
probable there will not be a significant reversal of revenue.

Some of the Company’s contracts may have contract terms that include variable consideration such as safety or performance 
bonuses or liquidated damages. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company estimates the variable consideration using one of two 
methods. In contracts in which there is a binary outcome, the most likely amount method is used. In instances in which there is a 
range of possible outcomes, the expected value method is used. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company includes the estimated 
amount of variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the 
amount of cumulative recognized revenue will not occur when the final outcome of the variable consideration is determined. In 
contracts in which a significant reversal may occur, the Company uses constraint in recognizing revenue on variable 
consideration. Although the Company often enters into contracts that contain liquidated damage clauses, the Company rarely 
incurs them, and as such, the Company does not include amounts associated with liquidated damage clauses until it is probable 
that liquidated damages will occur. These items are continually monitored by multiple levels of management throughout the 
reporting period.

A portion of the work the Company performs requires financial assurances in the form of performance and payment bonds or 

letters of credit at the time of execution of the contract. Many of the Company’s contracts include retention provisions of up to 
10%, which are generally withheld from each progress payment as retainage until the contract work has been completed and 
approved.

The Company provides warranties to customers on a basis customary to the industry; however, the warranty period does not 

typically exceed one year. Historically, warranty claims have not been material to the Company.

Total revenues do not include sales tax as the Company considers itself a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting 

sales taxes. Sales tax collected from customers is included in other current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance 
sheets.

Joint Ventures and Noncontrolling Interests

The Company accounts for investments in joint ventures using the proportionate consolidation method for income statement 
reporting and under the equity method for balance sheet reporting, unless the Company has a controlling interest causing the joint 
venture to be consolidated with equity owned by other joint venture partners recorded as noncontrolling interests. Under the 
proportionate consolidation method, joint venture activity is allocated to the appropriate line items found on the consolidated 
statements of operations in proportion to the percentage of participation the Company has in the joint venture. During the years 
ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized its proportionate share of joint venture revenues of $33.0 
million, $11.3 million, and $26.1 million, respectively. Under the equity method the net investment in joint ventures is stated as a 
single item on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. If an investment in a joint venture contains a recourse or unfunded 
commitment to provide additional equity, distributions and/or losses in excess of the investment a liability is recorded in other 
current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. For joint ventures which the Company does not have a 
controlling interest, the Company’s share of any profits and assets and its share of any losses and liabilities are recognized based 
on the Company’s stated percentage partnership interest in the joint venture and are typically recorded by the Company one 
month in arrears. The investments in joint ventures are recorded at cost and the carrying amounts are adjusted to recognize the 
Company’s proportionate share of cumulative income or loss, additional contributions made and dividends and capital 
distributions received. The Company records the effect of any impairment or any other-than-temporary decrease in the value of 
the joint venture investment as incurred, which may or may not be one month in arrears, depending on when the Company obtains 
the joint venture activity information. Additionally, the Company continually assesses the fair value of its investment in 
unconsolidated joint ventures despite using information that is one month in arrears for regular reporting purposes. The Company 
includes only its percentage ownership of each joint venture in its backlog.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Foreign Currency

The functional currency for the Company’s Canadian operations is the Canadian dollar. Assets and liabilities denominated in 

Canadian dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the end-of-period exchange rate. Revenues and expenses are translated using 
average exchange rates for the periods reported. Equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Cumulative translation 
adjustments are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. Foreign 
currency transaction gains and losses, arising primarily from changes in exchange rates on short-term monetary assets and 
liabilities, and intercompany loans that are not deemed long-term investment accounts are recorded in the “other income 
(expense), net” line on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Foreign currency gains or losses, recorded in other 
income (expense), net, for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, were not significant, and losses were $0.1 million for the 
year ended December 31, 2021. Foreign currency translation gains and losses, arising from intercompany loans that are deemed 
long-term investment accounts, are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustment line on the Company’s consolidated 
statements of comprehensive income.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of 

America (“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 and revenues and expenses 
during the period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The most significant estimates are related to estimates of costs to complete on contracts, pending change orders and claims, 

shared savings, insurance reserves, income tax reserves, estimates surrounding stock-based compensation, acquisition-related 
contingent earn-out consideration liabilities, the recoverability of goodwill and intangibles and allowance for doubtful accounts. 
The Company estimates a cost accrual every period that represents costs incurred but not invoiced for services performed or 
goods delivered during the period, and estimates revenue from the contract cost portion of these accruals based on current gross 
margin rates to be consistent with its cost method of revenue recognition.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized revenues of $76.5 million and $19.6 million, respectively, 
related to significant change orders and/or claims that had been included as contract price adjustments on certain contracts, some 
of which are multi-year projects. These change orders and/or claims are in the process of being negotiated in the normal course of 
business, and a portion of these recognized revenues had been included in multiple periods. These aggregate amounts, which were 
included in “Contract assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, represent the Company’s estimates of additional 
contract revenues that were earned and probable of collection; however, the amount ultimately realized could be significantly 
higher or lower than the estimated amount.

The cost-to-cost method of accounting requires the Company to make estimates about the expected revenue and gross profit 
on each of its contracts in process. During the year ended December 31, 2023, changes in estimates pertaining to certain projects 
decreased consolidated gross margin by 1.7%, which resulted in decreases in operating income of $62.2 million, net income of 
$43.6 million and diluted earnings per common share attributable to MYR Group Inc. of $2.59. The estimates are reviewed and 
revised quarterly, as needed. Additional discussion on the impact of these estimate changes can be found in Item 7, 
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”

During the year ended December 31, 2022, changes in estimates pertaining to certain projects decreased consolidated gross 

margin by 0.4%, which resulted in decreases in operating income of $9.8 million, net income of $6.9 million and diluted earnings 
per common share attributable to MYR Group Inc. of $0.41. 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, changes in estimates pertaining to certain projects increased consolidated gross 
margin by 0.4%, which resulted in increases in operating income of $9.2 million, net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. of 
$6.6 million and diluted earnings per common share attributable to MYR Group Inc. of $0.39.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising costs, included in selling, general and administrative expenses, 

were $1.8 million, $1.2 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Income Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and 

liabilities are recorded for future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets 
and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the underlying assets 
or liabilities are recovered or settled. The Company also evaluates whether the recorded deferred tax assets and valuation 
allowances can be realized and, when necessary, reduces the amounts to what is expected to be realized.

Interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions are included in income tax expense on the Company’s 
consolidated statements of operations. Interest and penalties actually incurred are charged to the interest expense and the “other 
income (expense), net” line, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company determines compensation expense for stock-based awards based on the estimated fair values at the grant date 

and recognizes the related compensation expense over the vesting period. The Company uses the straight-line amortization 
method to recognize compensation expense related to stock-based awards, such as restricted stock units, that have only service 
conditions. This method recognizes stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the 
entire award. The Company recognizes compensation expense related to performance awards that vest based on internal 
performance metrics and service conditions on a straight-line basis over the service period, but adjusts inception-to-date expense 
based upon our determination of the potential achievement of the performance target at each reporting date. The Company 
recognizes compensation expense related to performance awards with market-based performance metrics on a straight-line basis 
over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. Shares issued under the Company’s stock-
based compensation program are taken out of authorized but unissued shares.

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, basic earnings 
per share attributable to MYR Group Inc. are computed by dividing net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. by the weighted 
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to MYR Group Inc. are 
computed by dividing net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding 
during the period plus all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, except in cases where the effect of the common stock 
equivalent would be anti-dilutive.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash 

equivalents. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company held its cash in checking accounts or in highly liquid money 
market accounts. The Company’s banking arrangements allow the Company to fund outstanding checks when presented to 
financial institutions for payment. The Company funds all intraday bank balance overdrafts during the same business day. Checks 
issued and outstanding in excess of bank balances are recorded in accounts payable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets 
and are reflected as a financing activity on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company does not charge interest to its customers and carries its customer receivables at their face amounts, net of 
contract retainage, less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on the Company’s experience in recent years, the majority of 
customer balances at each balance sheet date are collected within twelve months. As is common practice in the industry, the 
Company classifies all accounts receivable as current assets.

The Company grants trade credit, on a non-collateralized basis (with the exception of lien rights against the property in 
certain cases), to its customers and is subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business and overall economic activity. 
The Company analyzes specific accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer credit-worthiness, current economic 
trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In the event 
that a customer balance is deemed to be uncollectible, the account balance is written-off against the allowance for doubtful 
accounts.

Classification of Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company recognizes revenue associated with its contracts with customers over time, for which the Company has an 
enforceable right to receive compensation. Many of our contracts contain specific provisions that determine when the Company 
can bill for its work performed under these contracts.

56

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Any revenue earned on a contract that has not yet been billed to the customer is recorded as a contract asset on the 

Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Contract retainages associated with contract work that has been completed and billed but 
not paid by its customers until the contracts are substantially complete, pursuant to contract retainage provisions under the 
contract, are also included in contract assets.

The Company’s consolidated balance sheets present contract liabilities that contain deferred revenue that represent any costs 

incurred on contracts in process for which revenue has not yet been recognized. Additionally, accruals for contracts in a loss 
provision are included in contract liabilities.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is carried at cost, except for assets acquired in a business combination which are recorded at fair 

value at the date of acquisition. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Major 
modifications or refurbishments which extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized and depreciated over the adjusted 
remaining useful life of the assets. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated 
depreciation are removed and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income from operations. The cost of maintenance and 
repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment and tested for recoverability 
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of 
property and equipment exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge would be recorded in the statement of operations.

Leases

The Company enters into non-cancelable leases for some of our facility, vehicle and equipment needs. These leases allow the 

Company to conserve cash by paying a monthly lease rental fee for the use of facilities, vehicles and equipment rather than 
purchasing them. The Company’s leases have remaining terms ranging from one to ten years, some of which may include options 
to extend the leases for up to six years, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases within one year. Currently, 
all the Company’s leases contain fixed payment terms. The Company may decide to cancel or terminate a lease before the end of 
its term, in which case we are typically liable to the lessor for the remaining lease payments under the term of the lease. 
Additionally, all of the Company’s month-to-month leases are cancelable, by the Company or the lessor, at any time and are not 
included in our right-of-use asset or liability. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had several leases with residual value 
guarantees. The total amount probable of being owed of residual leases guarantees is not significant. Typically, the Company has 
purchase options on the equipment underlying its long-term leases and many of its short-term rental arrangements. The Company 
may exercise some of these purchase options when the need for equipment is ongoing and the purchase option price is attractive. 
Nonperformance-related default covenants, cross-default provisions, subjective default provisions and material adverse change 
clauses contained in material lease agreements, if any, are also evaluated to determine whether those clauses affect lease 
classification in accordance with ASC Topic 842. Leases are accounted for as operating or finance leases, depending on the terms 
of the lease.

Finance Leases.   The Company leases some vehicles and certain equipment under finance leases. The economic substance of 

the leases is a financing transaction for acquisition of the vehicles and equipment. Accordingly, the right-of-use assets for these 
leases are included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets in property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, 
with a corresponding amount recorded in current portion of finance lease obligations or finance lease obligations, net of current 
maturities, as appropriate. The finance lease assets are amortized over the life of the lease or, if shorter, the life of the leased asset, 
on a straight-line basis and included in depreciation expense. The financing component associated with finance lease obligations 
is included in interest expense. Generally, for the Company’s finance leases an implicit rate to calculate present value is provided 
in the lease agreement. However, if a rate in not provided the Company determines this rate by estimating the Company’s 
incremental borrowing rate, utilizing the borrowing rates associated with the Company’s various debt instruments.

Operating Right-of-Use Leases.   Operating right-of-use leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current 
portion of operating lease obligations and operating lease obligations, net of current maturities on the Company’s consolidated 
balance sheets, as appropriate. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the 
present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases 
do not provide an implicit rate to calculate present value, the Company determines this rate by estimating the Company’s 
incremental borrowing rate, utilizing the borrowing rates associated with the Company’s various debt instruments. The operating 
lease right-of-use asset also includes any lease payments made and initial direct costs incurred and excludes lease incentives. Our 
lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are considered in the present value calculations when it is 
reasonably certain we will exercise those options. 

57

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Insurance

The Company carries insurance policies, which are subject to certain deductibles, for workers’ compensation, general 
liability, automobile liability and other coverages. The deductible for each line of coverage is up to $1.0 million. Certain health 
benefit plans are subject to a stop-loss limit of up to $0.2 million, for qualified individuals. Losses up to the deductible amounts 
are accrued based upon the Company’s estimates of the ultimate liability for claims reported and an estimate of claims incurred 
but not yet reported.

The insurance and claims accruals are based on known facts, actuarial estimates and historical trends. While recorded 
accruals are based on the ultimate liability, which includes amounts in excess of the deductible, a corresponding receivable for 
amounts in excess of the deductible is included in current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a 

straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company performs either a qualitative or quantitative assessment to 
review goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment on an annual basis. This assessment is performed at the 
beginning of the fourth quarter, or when circumstances change, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate or the 
decision to sell a business, both of which would indicate that impairment may have occurred. Intangible assets with finite lives are 
also reviewed for impairment and tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
amount may not be recoverable. 

A qualitative assessment considers financial, industry, segment and macroeconomic factors, if the qualitative assessment 

indicates a potential for impairment, a quantitative assessment is performed to determine if impairment exists. The quantitative 
assessment begins with a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit or intangible asset with its carrying value. If the 
carrying amount of the reporting unit or intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in an 
amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of the goodwill allocated to the reporting unit or intangible asset. If the 
carrying value of goodwill or other indefinite lived assets exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge would be recorded 
in the statement of operations.

As a result of the annual qualitative review process in 2023 and 2022, the Company determined it was not necessary to 
perform a quantitative assessment. In 2021, the Company performed a quantitative assessment on goodwill and intangible assets 
with indefinite lives, this assessment did not indicate that the Company’s goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets were 
impaired.

Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and 
cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains substantially all of its cash and cash equivalent balances with 
large financial institutions which are believed to be high quality institutions.

The Company is subject to a concentration of risk because it derives a significant portion of its revenues from a few 
customers. The Company’s top ten customers accounted for approximately 37.9%, 35.4%, and 34.9% of consolidated revenues 
for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, no 
single customer accounted for more than 10.0% of annual revenues.

The Company grants trade credit under contractual payment terms, generally without collateral, to its customers, which 
include high credit quality electric utilities, governmental entities, general contractors and builders, owners and managers of 
commercial and industrial properties. Consequently, the Company is subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business 
and economic factors. However, the Company generally has certain statutory lien rights with respect to services provided. Under 
certain circumstances such as foreclosures or negotiated settlements, the Company may take title to the underlying assets in lieu 
of cash in settlement of receivables. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, none of the Company’s customers individually exceeded 
10.0% of accounts receivable. The Company believes the terms and conditions in its contracts, billing and collection policies are 
adequate to minimize the potential credit risk.

As of December 31, 2023, approximately 84% of the Company’s craft labor employees were covered by collective 

bargaining agreements. Although the majority of these agreements prohibit strikes and work stoppages, the Company cannot be 
certain that strikes or work stoppages will not occur in the future.

Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS)

In 2020 and 2021, certain C&I segment Canadian operations of the Company qualified for and applied for a wage subsidy 
under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) program. Payroll subsidies received under CEWS totaled $2.3 million 
and were initially recorded in the "other current liabilities" line on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Once the 
qualification criteria was met in 2022, these funds were recorded to the “other income (expense), net” line on the Company’s 
consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not have any outstanding applications for further government 
assistance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are typically established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of 

accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company considers the 
applicability and impact of all ASUs. The Company, based on its assessment, determined that any recently issued or proposed 
ASUs not listed below are either not applicable to the Company or will have minimal impact on its Financial Statements when 
adopted.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable 

Segment Disclosures, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced 
disclosures about significant reportable segment expenses and other disclosure requirements. The update is effective for annual 
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The guidance requires application on a 
retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements 
and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax 
Disclosures, which is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and 
greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The guidance 
also includes certain other amendments intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The update is effective 
for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this 
pronouncement should be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The Company is currently 
evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s income tax disclosures. 

2. Acquisition

Powerline Plus Ltd

On January 4, 2022, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Powerline Plus Ltd. and 

its affiliate PLP Redimix Ltd. (collectively, the “Powerline Plus Companies"), a full-service electrical distribution construction 
company based in Toronto, Ontario. Cash consideration paid, funded through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings 
under the Facility (as defined below), including $0.1 million of net asset and other adjustments, was $110.7 million, net of cash 
acquired. The Company finalized the purchase price accounting relating to the acquisition of the Powerline Plus Companies 
during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Additionally, the acquisition includes contingent earn-out consideration that may be payable if the Powerline Plus 
Companies achieve certain performance targets over a three-year post-acquisition period. As of the acquisition date, the fair value 
of the contingent earn-out consideration was $0.9 million. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of the contingent 
earn-out consideration was zero and $0.2 million, respectively. The future payout of the contingent earn-out consideration, if any, 
is unlimited and could be significantly higher than the acquisition date fair value. If the minimum thresholds of the performance 
targets are achieved the contingent earn-out consideration payment will be approximately $17.0 million. Changes in contingent 
earn-out consideration, subsequent to the acquisition, of approximately $0.2 million and $0.7 million were recorded in other 
income, for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The results of the Powerline Plus Companies are included 
in the Company’s consolidated financial statements beginning on the transaction date. 

The purchase agreement also includes contingent consideration provisions for down-side margin guarantee adjustments 
based upon certain contract performance subsequent to the acquisition. The contracts were valued at fair value at the acquisition 
date, causing no margin guarantee estimate or adjustments for fair value. Unfavorable changes in contract estimates, such as 
modified costs to complete or change order recognition, will result in changes to these margin guarantee estimates. No changes in 
margin guarantee adjustments on contracts, subsequent to the acquisition, have been recorded for the year ended December 31, 
2023 and 2022. Future margin guarantee adjustments, if any, will be recognized in other income in 2024.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The acquisition date fair values of intangible assets were determined using the income approach, which discounts the 
projected future cash flows using a discount rate that appropriately reflects the risks associated with the projected cash flows. 
Under the income approach, the acquisition date fair value of the customer relationships and backlog were estimated using a 
multi-period excess earnings valuation method and the acquisition date fair value of the trade names was estimated using a relief 
from royalty valuation method. The fair value of the acquired operating lease obligation and operating right of use asset was 
estimated by applying the income approach. The fair value of the operating lease obligation was determined by comparing the 
difference between the annual lease contract rent over the remaining contractual term to a market rate cash flow stream, 
discounted to the present value. The Company calculated the fair value of the operating right of use asset based on the fair values 
of the operating lease obligation adjusted for a below market lease positions. The contractual value of the acquired accounts 
receivable is equal to the fair market value.

3. Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contracts with customers usually stipulate the timing of payment, which is defined by the terms found within the various 

contracts under which work was performed during the period. Therefore, contract assets and liabilities are created when the 
timing of costs incurred on work performed does not coincide with the billing terms. These contracts frequently include retention 
provisions contained in each contract.

The Company’s consolidated balance sheets present contract assets, which contain unbilled revenue and contract retainages 

associated with contract work that has been completed and billed but not paid by customers, pursuant to retainage provisions, that 
are generally due once the job is completed and approved. The allowance for doubtful accounts associated with contract assets 
was $0.6 million as of December 31, 2023 and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2022.

The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets and contract liabilities primarily 
results from the timing of the Company’s billings in relation to its performance of work. The amounts of revenues recognized in 
the period that were included in the opening contract liability balances were $130.7 million and $117.3 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This revenue consists primarily of work performed on previous billings to customers.

From time to time, the Company enters into non-cancelable leases for some of our facility, vehicle and equipment needs. 

These leases allow the Company to conserve cash by paying a monthly lease rental fee for the use of facilities, vehicles and 
equipment rather than purchasing them. The Company’s leases have remaining terms ranging from one to ten years, some of 
which may include options to extend the leases for up to six years, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases 
within one year. Currently, all the Company’s leases contain fixed payment terms. The Company may decide to cancel or 
terminate a lease before the end of its term, in which case we are typically liable to the lessor for the remaining lease payments 
under the term of the lease. Additionally, all of the Company's month-to-month leases are cancelable, by the Company or the 
lessor, at any time and are not included in our right-of-use asset or liability. At December 31, 2023, the Company had several 
leases with residual value guarantees. Typically, the Company has purchase options on the equipment underlying its long-term 
leases and many of its short-term rental arrangements. The Company may exercise some of these purchase options when the need 
for equipment is ongoing and the purchase option price is attractive. Leases are accounted for as operating or finance leases, 
depending on the terms of the lease.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The financing component for finance lease obligations represents the interest component of finance leases that will be 
recognized as interest expense in future periods. The financing component for operating lease obligations represents the effect of 
discounting the lease payments to their present value.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company have operating leases for facilities from third party companies that are owned, in whole 

or part, by employees of the subsidiaries. The terms and rental rates of these leases are at market rental rates. Lease expense 
associated with these leases was $2.7 million, $2.4 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 
2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the minimum lease payments required under these leases totaled $12.9 million, 
which are due over the next 5.7 years.

5. Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses the three-tier hierarchy of fair value measurement, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair 
value based upon their degree of availability in external active markets. These tiers include: Level 1 (the highest priority), defined 
as observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets 
that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3 (the lowest priority), defined as unobservable inputs in which little or 
no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company determined that the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents 

approximated fair value based on Level 1 inputs. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of the Company’s long-term 
debt and finance lease obligations were based on Level 2 inputs. The Company’s long-term debt was based on variable and fixed 
interest rates at December 31, 2023 and 2022. Long-term debt with variable interest rates is based on rates for new issues with 
similar remaining maturities, and approximated carrying value. In addition, based on borrowing rates currently available to the 
Company for borrowings with similar terms, the carrying value of the Company’s long term debt with fixed interest rates 
approximated fair value.

As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s contingent earn-out consideration liability associated with the 

acquisition of the Powerline Plus Companies, was based on Level 3 inputs. The contingent earn-out consideration recorded 
represents the estimated fair value of future amounts potentially payable to the former owners of the acquired Powerline Plus 
Companies, if the Powerline Plus Companies achieve certain performance targets over a three-year post-acquisition period. The 
fair value was initially determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation methodology based on probability-weighted 
performance projections and other inputs, including a discount rate and an expected volatility factor. The fair value of this 
contingent earn-out consideration liability will be evaluated on an ongoing basis by management. Accordingly, the level of inputs 
used for these fair value measurements is the lowest level (Level 3). Significant changes in any of these assumptions could result 
in a significantly higher or lower potential liability.

Customer relationships, amortizable trade names and backlog are being amortized on a straight-line method over an estimated 

useful life ranging up to 15 years and the remaining life of the contract, respectively, and have been determined to have no 
residual value. Certain trade names have indefinite lives and, therefore, are not being amortized. Intangible asset amortization 
expense was $4.9 million, $9.0 million and $2.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, estimated future intangible asset amortization expense for the each of the next five years and

Credit Agreement

On May 31, 2023, the Company entered into a five-year third amended and restated credit agreement with a maturity date of 
May 31, 2028, (the “Credit Agreement”) through a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, 
N.A, that provides for a $490 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), subject to certain financial covenants as defined in 
the Credit Agreement. The Facility allows for revolving loans in Canadian dollars and other non-US currencies, up to the U.S. 
dollars equivalent of $150 million. Up to $75 million, of the Facility may be used for letters of credit, with an additional $75 
million available for letters of credit, subject to the sole discretion of each issuing bank. The Facility also allows for $15 million to 
be used for swingline loans. The Company has an expansion option to increase the commitments under the Facility or enter into 
incremental term loans, subject to certain conditions, by up to an additional $200 million upon receipt of additional commitments 
from new or existing lenders. Subject to certain exceptions, the Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the 
Company and its domestic subsidiaries, and by a pledge of substantially all of the capital stock of the Company’s domestic 
subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of the direct foreign subsidiaries of the Company. Additionally, subject to certain 
exceptions, the Company’s domestic subsidiaries also guarantee the repayment of all amounts due under the Credit Agreement. 
The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, on the terms and 
subject to the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, amounts outstanding under the Facility may be accelerated and may 
become or be declared immediately due and payable. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are used to refinance existing 
indebtedness, and to provide for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either (1) the 
Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.00%; or (2) the 
Term Benchmark Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.00%. The 
applicable margin is determined based on the Company’s Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Credit 
Agreement establishes Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as the 
benchmark rate in replacement of LIBOR. Letters of credit issued under the Facility are subject to a letter of credit fee of 1.25% to 
2.00% for non-performance letters of credit or 0.625% to 1.00% for performance letters of credit, based on the Company’s Net 
Leverage Ratio. The Company is subject to a commitment fee of 0.20% to 0.30%, based on the Company’s Net Leverage Ratio, 
on any unused portion of the Facility. The Credit Agreement restricts certain types of payments when the Company’s Net 
Leverage Ratio, after giving pro forma effect thereto, exceeds 2.75. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding 
on the Facility for the year ended December 31, 2023, was 7.07% per annum.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to certain financial covenants including a maximum Net Leverage Ratio 

of 3.0 and a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 3.0. The Credit Agreement also contains 
covenants including limitations on asset sales, investments, indebtedness and liens. The Company was in compliance with all of 
its financial covenants under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $13.2 million of borrowings outstanding under the Facility and letters of credit 

outstanding under the Facility of approximately $34.4 million, including $27.1 million related to the Company's payment 
obligation under its insurance programs and approximately $7.3 million related to contract performance obligations.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $12.9 million of borrowings outstanding under a previous facility and letters of 
credit outstanding under a previous facility of approximately $12.8 million, which were almost entirely related to the Company's 
payment obligations under its insurance programs.

The Company had remaining deferred debt issuance costs totaling $2.2 million as of December 31, 2023, mostly related to 

the Credit Agreement. As permitted, debt issuance costs have been deferred and are presented as an asset within other assets, 
which is amortized as interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement. On May 31, 2023, the Company had remaining 
deferred debt issuance costs related to its previous credit agreement totaling $0.4 million, which is being amortized over the life of 
the Credit Agreement.

Equipment Notes

The Company has entered into Master Equipment Loan and Security Agreements (the “Master Loan Agreements”) with 
multiple finance companies. The Master Loan Agreements may be used for the financing of equipment between the Company and 
the lenders pursuant to one or more equipment notes (“Equipment Note”). Each Equipment Note executed under the Master Loan 
Agreements constitutes a separate, distinct and independent financing of equipment and a contractual obligation of the Company, 
which may contain prepayment clauses.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had two Equipment Notes outstanding under the Master Loan Agreements that are 

collateralized by equipment and vehicles owned by the Company. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had one other 
equipment note outstanding that is collateralized by a vehicle owned by the Company. The following table sets forth our 
remaining principal payments for the Company’s outstanding Equipment Note as of December 31, 2023:

A majority of the Company’s revenues are earned through contracts with customers that normally provide for payment upon 

completion of specified work or units of work as identified in the contract. Although there is considerable variation in the terms of 
these contracts, they are primarily structured as fixed-price contracts, under which the Company agrees to perform a defined 
scope of a project for a fixed amount, or unit-price contracts, under which the Company agrees to do the work at a fixed price per 
unit of work as specified in the contract. The Company also enters into time-and-equipment and time-and-materials contracts 
under which the Company is paid for labor and equipment at negotiated hourly billing rates and for other expenses, including 
materials, as incurred at rates agreed to in the contract. Finally, the Company sometimes enters into cost-plus contracts, where the 
Company is paid for costs plus a negotiated margin. On occasion, time-and-equipment, time-and-materials and cost-plus contracts 
require the Company to include a guaranteed not-to-exceed maximum price. 

Historically, fixed-price and unit-price contracts have had the highest potential margins; however, they have had a greater 
risk in terms of profitability because cost overruns may not be recoverable. Time-and-equipment, time-and-materials and cost-
plus contracts have historically had less margin upside, but generally have had a lower risk of cost overruns. The Company also 
provides services under master service agreements (“MSAs”) and other variable-term service agreements. MSAs normally cover 
maintenance, upgrade and extension services, as well as new construction. Work performed under MSAs is typically billed on a 
unit-price, time-and-materials or time-and-equipment basis. MSAs are typically one to three years in duration; however, most of 
the Company’s contracts, including MSAs, may be terminated by the customer on short notice, typically 30 to 90 days, even if the 
Company is not in default under the contract. Under MSAs, customers generally agree to use the Company for certain services in 
a specified geographic region. Most MSAs include no obligation for the contract counterparty to assign specific volumes of work 
to the Company and do not require the counterparty to use the Company exclusively, although in some cases the MSA contract 
gives the Company a right of first refusal for certain work. Additional information related to the Company’s market types is 
provided in Note 17–Segment Information to the Financial Statements.

The components of the Company’s revenue by contract type were as follows for the year ended December 31:

Remaining Performance Obligations

On December 31, 2023, the Company had $2.30 billion of remaining performance obligations. The Company’s remaining 
performance obligations include projects that have a written award, a letter of intent, a notice to proceed or an agreed-upon work 
order to perform work on mutually accepted terms and conditions. The timing of when remaining performance obligations are 
recognized is evaluated quarterly and is largely driven by the estimated start date and duration of the underlying projects.

The following table summarizes the total amount of remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2023 that the 
Company expects to be realized, the amount of the remaining performance obligations that the Company reasonably estimates 
will be recognized within the next twelve months, and the amount estimated to be recognized after the next twelve months.

The Company estimates approximately 95% or more of the remaining performance obligations will be recognized within 

twenty-four months, including approximately 80% of the remaining performance obligations estimated to be recognized within 
twelve months, although the timing of the Company’s performance is not always under its control. The timing of when remaining 
performance obligations are recognized by the Company can vary considerably and is impacted by multiple variables including, 
but not limited to: changes in the estimated versus actual start time of a project; the availability of labor, equipment and materials; 
changes in project workflow; weather; project delays and accelerations; and the timing of final contract settlements. Additionally, 
the difference between the remaining performance obligations and backlog is due to the exclusion of a portion of the Company’s 
MSAs under certain contract types from the Company’s remaining performance obligations as these contracts can be canceled for 
convenience at any time by the Company or the customer without considerable cost incurred by the customer. Additional 
information related to backlog is provided in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
of Operations” of this Annual Report.

The Company determined that it is more-likely-than-not that it will not realize certain deferred tax assets related to net 
operating loss carryforwards on certain Canadian subsidiaries and therefore recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred 
tax assets for those entities.

Earnings from the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested in Canada, therefore as of December 31, 

2023, the Company had no undistributed earnings or withholding deferral associated with its Canadian subsidiaries. 

The Company is subject to taxation in various jurisdictions. The Company’s 2020 through 2022 tax returns are subject to 
examination by U. S. federal authorities. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by various state authorities for 
the years 2019 through 2022.

The Company has recorded a liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken on its various income tax 
returns. If recognized, the entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the effective tax rate that is reported 
in future periods. The decrease in the unrecognized tax benefits as of	December 31, 2023 was primarily due to the lapses in the 
applicable statutes of limitations. The total unrecognized tax benefits is expected to be reduced by less than $0.2 million within 
the next 12 months. Interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions are included as a component of income tax 
expense in the Financial Statements.

result of the unrecognized tax benefits was not significant in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $32.5 million in outstanding purchase orders for certain 

construction equipment, with cash payments scheduled to occur in 2024.

Insurance and Claims Accruals

The Company carries insurance policies, which are subject to certain deductibles and limits, for workers’ compensation, 
general liability, automobile liability and other insurance coverage. The deductible per occurrence for each line of coverage is up 
to $1.0 million. The Company’s health benefit plans are subject to stop-loss limits of up to $0.2 million for qualified individuals. 
Losses up to the deductible and stop-loss amounts are accrued based upon the Company’s estimates of the ultimate liability for 
claims reported and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported.

The insurance and claims accruals are based on known facts, actuarial estimates and historical trends. While recorded 
accruals are based on the ultimate liability, which includes amounts in excess of the deductible, a corresponding receivable for 
amounts in excess of the deductible is included in total assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The following table 
includes the Company’s accrued short- and long-term insurance liabilities at December 31:

Insurance expense, including premiums, for workers’ compensation, general liability, automobile liability, employee health 
benefits, and other coverages for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $88.3 million, $77.1 million and $65.1 
million, respectively.

Performance and Payment Bonds and Parent Guarantees

In certain circumstances, the Company is required to provide performance and payment bonds in connection with its future 

performance on certain contractual commitments. The Company has indemnified its sureties for any expenses paid out under 
these bonds. As of December 31, 2023, an aggregate of approximately $2.44 billion in original face amount of bonds issued by 
the Company’s sureties were outstanding. The Company estimated the remaining cost to complete these bonded projects was 
approximately $726.1 million as of December 31, 2023.

From time to time, the Company guarantees the obligations of wholly-owned subsidiaries, including obligations under certain 

contracts with customers, certain lease agreements and, in some states, obligations in connection with obtaining contractors’ 
licenses. Additionally, from time to time, the Company is required to post letters of credit to guarantee the obligations of its 
wholly-owned subsidiaries, which reduces the borrowing availability under the Facility.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Indemnities

From time to time, pursuant to its service arrangements, the Company indemnifies its customers for claims related to the 
services it provides under those service arrangements. These indemnification obligations may subject the Company to indemnity 
claims, liabilities and related litigation. The Company is not aware of any material unrecorded liabilities for asserted claims in 
connection with these indemnification obligations.

Collective Bargaining Agreements

Most of the Company’s subsidiaries’ craft labor employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The agreements 
require the subsidiaries to pay specified wages, provide certain benefits and contribute certain amounts to multi-employer pension 
plans. If a subsidiary withdraws from any of the multi-employer pension plans or if the plans were to otherwise become 
underfunded, the subsidiary could incur liabilities for additional contributions related to these plans. Although the Company has 
been informed that the status of some multi-employer pension plans to which its subsidiaries contribute have been classified as 
“critical”, the Company is not currently aware of any potential liabilities related to this issue. See Note 16 — Employee Benefit 
Plans to the Financial Statements for further information related to the Company’s participation in multi-employer plans.

Litigation and Other Legal Matters

The Company is from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims, and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary 
course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, 
property damages, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such 
lawsuits, claims and proceedings, the Company records reserves when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the 
amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company does not believe that any of these proceedings, separately or in the 
aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash 
flows.

The Company is routinely subject to other civil claims, litigation and arbitration, and regulatory investigations arising in the 

ordinary course of business. Some of these claims and litigations include claims related to the Company’s current services and 
operations, the Company believes that it has strong defenses to these claims as well as insurance coverages that could contribute 
to any settlement or liability in the event claims are not resolved in our favor. These claims have not had a material impact on the 
Company to date, and the Company believes that the likelihood that a future material adverse outcome will result from these 
claims is remote. However, if facts and circumstances change in the future, the Company cannot be certain that an adverse 
outcome of one or more of these claims would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of 
operations or cash flows.

15. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company maintains two equity compensation plans under which stock-based compensation has been granted, the 2017 
Long-Term Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated as of April 23, 2020) (the “LTIP”) and the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan 
(Amended and Restated as of May 1, 2014) (the “2007 LTIP” and, collectively with the LTIP, the “Long-Term Incentive Plans”). 
Upon the initial adoption of the LTIP in 2017, awards were no longer granted under the 2007 LTIP. The LTIP was approved by 
our shareholders and provides for grants of (a) incentive stock options qualified as such under U.S. federal income tax laws, 
(b) stock options that do not qualify as incentive stock options, (c) stock appreciation rights, (d) restricted stock awards, 
(e) restricted stock units, (f) performance awards, (g) phantom stock, (h) stock bonuses, (i) dividend equivalents, or (j) any 
combination of such awards. The LTIP permits the granting of up to 1,500,000 shares to directors, officers and other employees 
of the Company. Grants of awards to employees are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and 
grants to independent members of the Board of Directors are approved by the Board of Directors. All awards are made with an 
exercise price or base price, as the case may be, that is not less than the full fair market value per share on the date of grant. No 
stock option or stock appreciation right may be exercised more than 10 years from the date of grant.

Shares issued as a result of stock option exercises or stock grants are made available from authorized unissued shares of 

common stock or treasury stock.

Stock Options

The Company has not awarded any stock options since 2013. Stock options granted to the Company’s employees or directors 
were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The Company used the 
Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of options as of the date of grant. All stock options were 
fully expensed as of December 31, 2016.

$0.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Time-Vested Stock Awards

The company grants time-vested stock awards under the LTIP in the form of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units or 
equity-settled phantom stock. The grant date fair value of the time-vested stock awards is equal to the closing market price of the 
Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Time-vested stock awards granted under the LTIP to eligible employees in 2023 
vest ratably on an annual basis, over three years. Time-vested stock awards granted under the LTIP to non-employee directors in 
2023 vest over a one year period.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and restricted stock units 
based on the grant date fair value, which was the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The fair value is 
expensed over the service period, which is generally three years for time-vested stock awards granted to eligible employees and 
one year for non-employee directors.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, time-vested stock vesting activity settled in common stock had 

an intrinsic value, at the time of vesting, of $7.3 million, $7.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

The Company grants performance awards under the LTIP. Under these awards, shares of the Company’s common stock may 
be earned based on the Company’s performance compared to defined metrics. The number of shares earned under a performance 
award may vary from zero to 200% of the target shares awarded, based upon the Company’s performance compared to the 
metrics. The metrics used for the grant are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and may be 
either based on internal measures such as the Company’s financial performance compared to target or on a market-based metric 
such as the Company’s stock performance compared to a peer group. Performance awards cliff vest upon attainment of at least the 
minimum stated performance targets and minimum service requirements and are paid in the Company’s common stock.

For performance awards, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value of 
the award. The fair value of internal metric-based performance awards is determined by the closing stock price of the Company’s 
common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of market-based performance awards is computed using a Monte Carlo 
simulation. Performance awards granted in 2023 are expensed over the service period of approximately 2.8 years. The Company 
adjusts the stock-based compensation expense related to internal metric-based performance awards according to its determination 
of the shares expected to vest at each reporting date. Stock-based compensation expense related to market metric-based 
performance awards is expensed at their grant date fair value regardless of performance.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, performance award vesting activity settled in common stock had 

an intrinsic value, at the time of vesting, of $12.0 million, $15.7 million and $12.7 million, respectively.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $8.4 million, $7.9 million and $7.5 million 

for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in selling, general and administrative expenses on the 
Company’s consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2023, there was approximately $9.9 million of 
unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to awards granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plans. This included 
$5.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested time-vested stock awards expected to be recognized over a 
remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 1.5 years and $4.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost 
related to unvested performance awards, expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average vesting period of 
approximately 1.5 years.

16. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors multiple defined contribution plans for eligible employees not covered by collective bargaining
agreements. The plans include various features such as voluntary employee pre-tax and Roth-based contributions and matching 
contributions made by the Company. In addition, at the discretion of our Board of Directors, we may make additional profit 
sharing contributions to the plans. Company contributions under these defined contribution plans are based upon a percentage of 
income with limitations as defined by each plan. Total contributions for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 
2021 amounted to $15.9 million, $15.7 million, and $17.8 million, respectively.

The Company contributes to a number of multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under the terms of collective-
bargaining agreements that cover its union-represented employees, who are represented by more than 300 local unions. The 
related collective-bargaining agreements between those organizations and the Company, which specify the rate at which the 
Company must contribute to the multi-employer defined pension plan, expire at different times between 2024 and 2026.

The risks of participating in these multiemployer defined benefit pension plans are different from single-employer plans in 

the following aspects:

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

2)

participating employers.
If a participating employer stops contributing to a plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the
remaining participating employers.

76

TABLE OF CONTENTS

3)

If the Company chooses to stop participating in a multiemployer plan, it may be required to pay the plan an amount 
based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.

The amount of additional funds, if any, that the Company may be obligated to contribute to these plans in the future cannot be 

estimated due to uncertainty of the future levels of work that require the specific use of union employees covered by these plans, 
as well as the future contribution levels and possible surcharges on contributions applicable to these plans.

The following table summarizes plan information relating to the Company’s participation in multi-employer defined benefit 

pension plans, including company contributions for the last three years, the status under the Pension Protection Act of 2006, as 
amended by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2015 (“PPA”) of the plans and whether the plans are 
subject to a funding improvement or rehabilitation plan, or contribution surcharges. The most recent zone status is for the plan’s 
year-end indicated in the table. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan, as well as from 
publicly available information on the U.S. Department of Labor website. The PPA zone status for the plan year ended on 
December 31, 2023 has not been listed because Forms 5500 were not yet available. Among other factors, plans in the red 
“critical” zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow “endangered” zone are between 65 and 80 percent 
funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded. Also listed in the table below are the Company’s contributions 
to defined contribution plans. Information in the table has been presented separately for individually significant plans and in the 
aggregate for all other plans.

17. Segment Information

MYR Group is a holding company of specialty contractors serving electrical utility infrastructure and commercial 
construction markets in the United States and Canada. The Company has two reporting segments, each a separate operating 
segment, which are referred to as T&D and C&I. Performance measurement and resource allocation for the reporting segments 
are based on many factors. The primary financial measures used to evaluate the segment information are contract revenues and 
income from operations, excluding general corporate expenses. General corporate expenses include corporate facility and staffing 
costs, which includes safety costs, professional fees, IT expenses and management fees.

Transmission and Distribution: The T&D segment provides a broad range of services on electric transmission and 
distribution networks and substation facilities which include design, engineering, procurement, construction, upgrade, 
maintenance and repair services with a particular focus on construction, maintenance and repair. T&D services include the 
construction and maintenance of high voltage transmission lines, substations and lower voltage underground and overhead 
distribution systems, clean energy projects and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The T&D segment also provides 
emergency restoration services in response to hurricane, wildfire, ice or other damage. T&D customers include investor-owned 
utilities, cooperatives, private developers, government-funded utilities, independent power producers, independent transmission 
companies, industrial facility owners and other contractors.

Commercial and Industrial: The C&I segment provides services such as the design, installation, maintenance and repair of 
commercial and industrial wiring, the installation of intelligent transportation systems, roadway lighting, signalization and electric 
vehicle charging infrastructure. Typical C&I contracts cover electrical contracting services for airports, hospitals, data centers, 
hotels, stadiums, commercial and industrial facilities, clean energy projects, manufacturing plants, processing facilities, water/
waste-water treatment facilities, mining facilities, and transportation control and management systems. The C&I segment 
generally provides electric construction and maintenance services as a subcontractor to general contractors in the C&I industry, 
but also contracts directly with facility owners.

18. Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, basic earnings 
per share attributable to MYR Group Inc. are computed by dividing net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. by the weighted 
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share attributable to MYR Group Inc. are 
computed by dividing net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding 
during the period plus all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, except in cases where the effect of the common stock 
equivalent would be anti-dilutive.

Net income attributable to MYR Group Inc. and the weighted average number of common shares used to compute basic and 

diluted earnings per share was as follows:

On November 1, 2023, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a new $75.0 million share 
repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") which became effective on November 9, 2023. The Repurchase Program will 
expire on May 8, 2024, or when the authorized funds are exhausted, whichever is earlier. The Company’s prior $75.0 million 
repurchase program that commenced on May 9, 2023 expired on November 8, 2023.

During 2023 the Company repurchased 25,042 shares of its common stock under multiple repurchase programs at a 
weighted-average price of $114.55 per share. All of the shares repurchased were retired. The shares repurchased resulted in no 
change to authorized shares and an increase to unissued shares. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $72.5 million of 
remaining availability to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the Repurchase Program. 

During 2023 and 2022, the Company repurchased 76,150 and 68,675 shares of stock, respectively, for approximately $7.9 
million and $6.8 million, respectively, from its employees to satisfy tax obligations on shares vested under the LTIP. All of the 
shares repurchased were retired and returned to authorized but unissued stock.

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be 

disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within 
the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our 
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions 
regarding required disclosure.

Management, together with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our 

disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period 
covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 
Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provided reasonable assurance related to the 
matters stated in the above paragraph as of December 31, 2023.

Management’s Evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such 
term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including 
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal 
control over financial reporting based on the framework set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by 
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management has 
concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective, as of December 31, 2023, in providing reasonable 
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes 
in accordance with GAAP. Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting is included in “Item 8. 
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In addition, Crowe LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, audited and reported on the 2023 Financial 
Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, and has issued an attestation report on our internal control over 
financial reporting. The report is included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on 
Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 

2023 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure 
controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will detect or prevent all errors and all fraud. A control 
system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the 
control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the 
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial 
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can 
be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the 
individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any 
system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no 
assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may 
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 
Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be 
detected.
