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

Our Common Stock is traded under the symbol FIX on the New York Stock Exchange.

As of February 14, 2025, there were approximately 231 stockholders of record of our Common Stock, and the last reported sale price on that date was $391.22 per share.

We expect to continue paying cash dividends quarterly, although there is no assurance as to future dividends because they depend on future earnings, capital requirements, and financial condition. In addition, our credit agreement may limit the amount of dividends we can pay at any time that our Net Leverage Ratio exceeds 2.75 to 1.00.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company is no longer included in the Russell 2000 Index. Given that construction-specific indexes include engineering firms, general contractors, and other organizations that derive a majority of their revenue from providing professional services, we do not believe there is an industry specific index that serves as an accurate comparison to our performance. While not directly comparable, the Company believes that the S&P 400 Capital Good Index is an appropriate trade or line of business index given that the Company is included within the index and the index includes not only construction and engineering companies, but also companies that manufacture and install building products and electrical equipment. We intend to use the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index, rather than the Russell 2000 Index, for the purpose of Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K going forward. In accordance with Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K, the stock performance graph above includes the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 400 Capital Goods Index.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On March 29, 2007, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a stock repurchase program to acquire up to 1.0 million shares of our outstanding common stock. Subsequently, the Board has from time to time increased the number of shares that may be acquired under the program and approved extensions of the program. On August 7, 2024, the Board approved an extension to the program by increasing the shares authorized for repurchase by 0.4 million shares. Since the inception of the repurchase program, the Board has approved 11.4 million shares to be repurchased. As of December 31, 2024, we have repurchased a cumulative total of 10.4 million shares at an average price of $31.41 per share under the repurchase program.

The share repurchases will be made from time to time at our discretion in the open market or privately negotiated transactions, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, and subject to market conditions and other factors. The Board may modify, suspend, extend or terminate the program at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased 0.2 million shares for approximately $58.3 million at an average price of $329.14 per share.

Under our stock incentive plans, employees may elect to have us withhold common shares to satisfy statutory federal, state and local tax withholding obligations arising on the vesting of restricted stock awards and exercise of options. When we withhold these shares, we are required to remit to the appropriate taxing authorities the market price of the shares withheld, which could be deemed a purchase of the common shares by us on the date of withholding.
