Moreover, if we do not employ new technologies as quickly or efficiently as our competitors, or if our competitors develop or utilize more cost-effective or customer-preferred technologies (such as data analytics, artificial intelligence and other new and emerging technologies) that give them a competitive advantage in the proposal bidding and selection process, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to win and retain business from customers.

New in FY2025

Historically, surety

New in FY2025

Operating in a number of jurisdictions could make our compliance with laws relating to climate change rules more complex and expensive and potentially expose us to greater levels of legal risks associated with our compliance.

New in FY2025

Our failure to comply with any applicable laws could lead to penalties and adversely impact our reputation, customer attraction and retention, access to capital and employee retention.

New in FY2025

These conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, results of operation and cash flows.

However, this

New in FY2025

We and certain of our third-party providers collect and retain information about our customers, stockholders, vendors and employees, including information about individuals, as well as proprietary information belonging to our business (collectively, “Confidential Information”).

New in FY2025

We face numerous and evolving cybersecurity risks that threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our IT Systems and Confidential Information, including from diverse threat actors, such as state-sponsored organizations, opportunistic hackers and hacktivists, as well as through diverse attack vectors, such as social engineering/phishing, malware (including ransomware), malfeasance by insiders, human or technological error (including the misuse of artificial intelligence tools by our employees), and as a result of malicious code embedded in open-source software, or misconfigurations, bugs or other vulnerabilities in commercial software that is integrated into our (or our suppliers’ or service providers’) IT Systems, products or services.

New in FY2025

Because we make extensive use of third-party suppliers and service providers, such as cloud services that support our internal and customer-facing operations, successful cyberattacks that disrupt or result in unauthorized access to third party IT Systems can materially impact our operations and financial results.

New in FY2025

Remote and hybrid working arrangements at the Company (and at many third-party providers) also increase cybersecurity risks due to the challenges associated with managing remote computing assets and security vulnerabilities that are present in many non-corporate and home networks.

New in FY2025

Additionally, any integration of artificial intelligence in our or any service providers’ operations, products or services is expected to pose new or unknown cybersecurity risks and challenges.

New in FY2025

Any circumvention or failure of our cybersecurity defenses or measures could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our customers’ own IT Systems and/or Confidential Information as well.

New in FY2025

Moreover, cyberattacks are expected to accelerate on a global basis in frequency and magnitude as threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated in using techniques and tools—including artificial intelligence to engage in automated, targeted, and coordinated attacks—that circumvent security controls, evade detection and remove forensic evidence.

New in FY2025

As a result, we may be required to expend significant resources to protect

New in FY2025

We also may be required to indemnify third parties for litigation brought against such third parties, even if we are not a defendant.

New in FY2025

Changes in U.S. foreign relations, in particular foreign trade policies could lead to the imposition of additional trade barriers and tariffs.

New in FY2025

We cannot predict the full extent of new, extended, or changed trade policies, including tariffs, that may be made by the current or a future presidential administration or Congress, including whether existing tariff policies will be maintained or modified or if changes in the U.S. trade policy could result in reactions from U.S. trading partners, such as adopting responsive trade policies making it more difficult or costly for us to purchase materials or supplies.

New in FY2025

These changes in U.S. trade policy or in laws and policies governing foreign trade or foreign relations generally, and any resulting negative sentiments towards the United States as a result of such changes, could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

New in FY2025

Our accounting for income taxes requires significant judgments and may be impacted by changes to our assessment of our projected tax liability, including our ability to realize deductions or credits in various tax jurisdictions.

New in FY2025

Moreover, we may be affected by our ability to utilize, or in the valuation of, our deferred tax assets that are based on estimates of our future results, the prudence and feasibility of possible tax planning strategies, and the economic and political environments in which we do business.

We could be adversely impacted by the effects of inflation, supply chain disruptions, capital market volatility and an economic recession or downturn.

Dropped from FY2024

The global economy continues to experience high rates of inflation and market and economic volatility, resulting from a number of factors, including the war between Russia and Ukraine, unrest in the Middle East, and supply chain constraints.

Dropped from FY2024

In addition, the current market conditions have caused volatility in the capital markets, which may increase our cost of capital or prevent us from raising capital if we desire or need to do so and may have adverse impacts on the mechanical and electrical services industry.

If economic conditions remain uncertain or weaken, or government spending is reduced, our revenue and profitability could be adversely affected.

Dropped from FY2024

We also collect and retain information about our customers, stockholders, vendors and employees, with the expectation by such third parties being that we will adequately protect such information.

Dropped from FY2024

In addition, our systems, networks and infrastructure could be damaged or interrupted by natural disasters, power loss, telecommunications failures, intentional or inadvertent user misuse or error, failures of information technology solutions, computer viruses, malicious code, ransomware attacks and acts of terrorism.

Dropped from FY2024

We may also be subject to physical or electronic security breaches, including breaches by computer hackers or cyber-terrorists or unauthorized access to or disclosure of our or our customers’ data.

Dropped from FY2024

While we have security, internal control and technology measures in place to protect our systems and networks, these measures could fail as a result of a cyber-attack, other third-party action, employee error, malfeasance or other security failure.

Dropped from FY2024

In the ordinary course of business, we have been targeted by malicious cyber-attacks.

Dropped from FY2024

As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities.

The inability to implement, maintain and upgrade adequate safeguards could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Dropped from FY2024

New cyber-related regulations, including the cybersecurity risk management, strategy, governance and incident disclosure rules adopted by the SEC in 2023, or other requirements could require significant additional resources and cause us to incur significant costs, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows.

The costs of employee health insurance have been increasing in recent years due to rising healthcare costs, legislative changes, and general economic conditions.

Dropped from FY2024

Additionally, we may incur additional costs as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Affordable Care Act”) that was signed into law in March 2010.

Dropped from FY2024

Future legislation could also have an impact on our business, including potential healthcare reform efforts under the Trump administration, the nature and impact of which are uncertain.

Dropped from FY2024

The status of the Affordable Care Act, any amendment, repeal or replacement thereof, is currently uncertain.

Dropped from FY2024

For example, in December 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit struck down a central provision of the Affordable Care Act, ruling that the requirement that people have health insurance was unconstitutional, sending the case back to a federal district judge in Texas to determine which of the law’s many parts could survive without the mandate.

Dropped from FY2024

On March 2, 2020, the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari to review this case, and on June 17, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a challenge on procedural grounds that argued the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional in its entirety because the “individual mandate” was repealed by Congress.

Dropped from FY2024

The Affordable Care Act will remain in effect in its current form; however, we continue to evaluate the effect that the Affordable Care Act has on our business.

Dropped from FY2024

Costs incurred as a result of warranty claims could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Dropped from FY2024

Changes in United States trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences, may have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

Dropped from FY2024

As a result of policy changes or shifting proposals by the U.S. government, there may be greater restrictions and economic disincentives on international trade.

Dropped from FY2024

For example, the U.S. government has adopted an evolving approach to trade policy, including renegotiating or terminating certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements.

Dropped from FY2024

It has also imposed tariffs on certain foreign goods and raised the possibility of imposing significant, additional tariff increases or expanding the tariffs to capture other types of goods.

Dropped from FY2024

These tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policy have in the past and could continue to trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, and certain foreign governments have instituted or are considering imposing retaliatory measures on certain U.S. goods.

Dropped from FY2024

If we are unable to pass the costs of such tariffs on to our customer base or otherwise mitigate such costs, or if demand for our services decreases due to the higher cost, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Dropped from FY2024

In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the United States and other countries imposed trade sanctions against Russia and Belarus, which impacted global operations and financial performance.

Dropped from FY2024

We, our suppliers and our customers import certain raw materials, components and other products from foreign suppliers.

Dropped from FY2024

As such, the adoption and expansion of trade restrictions such as those adopted in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the occurrence of a trade war, or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies has in the past and may continue to adversely impact demand for our services, our costs, our customers, our suppliers, and the United States economy, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Accordingly,

New in FY2025

We have experienced increasing demand since 2022, culminating in an unprecedented overall demand environment in 2025.

New in FY2025

Over the last several years, we have also experienced increases in labor costs and delays in delivery of certain materials and equipment.

New in FY2025

We anticipate that cost pressures and intermittent delays in our supply chain will persist over the next several quarters.

New in FY2025

2025 Compared to 2024

New in FY2025

In the first quarter of 2025, we completed the acquisition of Century Contractors, LLC (“Century”), which reports as a separate operating location.

New in FY2025

_Interest Expense_—Interest expense increased $2.4 million, or 35.5%, in 2025 as compared to 2024.

New in FY2025

Additionally, we expensed $0.3 million in 2025 related to unamortized debt issuance costs for lenders who exited the credit facility when we amended our senior credit facility in August of 2025.

New in FY2025

This decrease was primarily caused by lower earn-out expenses for Summit, driven by larger changes in their forecasted results in the prior year and as a result of them reaching their maximum cumulative earn-out target.

New in FY2025

The effective rate for 2025 was slightly lower than the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to a $30.5 million credit for increasing research activities (“R&D tax credit”) (2.4%) partially offset by $30.3 million of net state income taxes (2.3%).

New in FY2025

2025 Compared to 2024

New in FY2025

These increases were partially offset by a $778.9 million decrease in accounts payable and other current liabilities driven by the size and timing of payments.

New in FY2025

In 2023, we filed our 2022 federal tax return requesting a refund of our $107.1 million overpayment, which was received in April 2025 and positively impacted our second quarter cashflows.

New in FY2025

Along with the refund, we received $11.3 million (or $8.9 million, net of tax) of interest income that reduced our provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 2025.

New in FY2025

The $126.3 million increase in cash used is primarily due to an increase in share repurchases of $158.1 million and an increase in payments of dividends to stockholders of $26.1 million in the current year.

New in FY2025

These increases were partially offset by higher net borrowings of debt in the current year compared to 2024.

New in FY2025

On August 27, 2025, we amended our senior credit facility (as amended, the “Facility”) arranged by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and provided by a syndicate of banks, which increases our borrowing capacity from $850.0 million to $1.10 billion.

New in FY2025

The line of credit includes a sublimit for up to $200.0 million of letters of credit and a sublimit for up to $75.0 million of swingline loans.

New in FY2025

As a result of the amendment, $0.3 million of unamortized costs associated with lenders who exited the Facility were written off to interest expense in the third quarter of 2025.

New in FY2025

The remaining $1.0 million of unamortized costs from the previous facility will be deferred and amortized over the term of the new Facility.

New in FY2025

In 2025, we incurred approximately $3.7 million in

New in FY2025

financing and professional costs in connection with the amendment to the Facility, which, combined with previously unamortized costs of $1.0 million, are being amortized on a straight-line basis as a non-cash charge to interest expense over the remaining term of the Facility.

As of December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] we recorded an accrual for unresolved matters, which is not material to our financial statements, based on our analysis of likely outcomes related to the respective matters; however, it is possible that the ultimate outcome and associated costs will deviate from our estimates and that, in the event of an unexpectedly adverse outcome, we may experience additional costs and expenses in future periods.

Dropped from FY2024

In 2022, we recorded a net gain of $5.1 million related to legal matters that merited changes to our assessments of the related accruals in the ordinary course of our business based on information received in 2022.

Dropped from FY2024

The largest change resulted from favorable developments related to a dispute with a customer regarding the outcome of a completed project as well as the obligation to perform subcontract work under two executed letters of intent for subsequent projects that we believed were not enforceable.

Dropped from FY2024

The net gain of $5.1 million was recorded primarily as an increase in gross profit in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Dropped from FY2024

As of December 31, 2024, the Company is no longer included in the Russell 2000 Index.

Dropped from FY2024

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.

Dropped from FY2024

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.

Dropped from FY2024

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.

Dropped from FY2024

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.
