Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Segment Performance:
  • Marine: YTD operating income surged to $22.0 million from a loss of $4.8 million, attributed to strong project execution and favorable utilization.
  • Concrete: YTD operating loss widened to $12.4 million from income of $6.7 million, primarily due to seasonal weather delays and the absence of favorable project close-outs seen in 2024.
• Expense Increases: SG&A expenses rose 15% YTD to $70.4 million to support business growth.
• Capital Expenditures: YTD CapEx increased significantly to $25.5 million from $10.6 million in the prior year, reflecting fleet additions and betterments.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

• Backlog: Total backlog stands at $679 million as of September 30, 2025, down from $729 million at year-end 2024. Management expects to recognize $547 million (81%) of remaining performance obligations in the next 12 months.
• Liquidity: The company maintains $4.9 million in cash and approximately $41.2 million in borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility. Management believes liquidity is adequate for the next 12 months.
• Debt Covenants: The company is in compliance with all financial covenants under its Credit Agreement, including a minimum liquidity requirement of $15 million.
• Legal Contingency: In October 2025, the company received a $15 million sales tax assessment from the State of Texas. Management believes it has meritorious defenses and does not consider a loss probable at this time.
• Subsequent Event: On October 24, 2025, the company sold its East and West Jones property for $23.5 million. Proceeds will be used to reduce debt and for general corporate purposes.
• Risks: Key risks include commodity price fluctuations (fuel, steel, concrete), weather delays, and reliance on government funding.

• Working Capital Trends: Monitor the $57.5 million cash outflow related to changes in accounts receivable and payables, which impacted operating cash flow.
• Texas Tax Assessment: Track the resolution of the $15 million sales tax assessment and any potential impact on future cash flows.
• CapEx Sustainability: Assess the return on the significant increase in capital expenditures ($25.5 million YTD) relative to revenue growth.
• Backlog Conversion: Confirm the conversion rate of the $679 million backlog into revenue, noting the decrease from the prior year-end backlog.
