Risks Related to Our Capital Structure As a result of the “spring-forward” maturity provision in our Revolver and Term Loan B facility, we will need to repay, refinance, or obtain amendments or waivers with respect to some or all of our substantial outstanding indebtedness.
Removed
If we are unsuccessful, the maturity of our Revolver and Term Loan B facility will accelerate, and a failure to repay then-outstanding amounts would cause us to be in default, which would materially and adversely affect our business and our financial condition.
Removed
Under the terms of our 2020 Credit Agreement, as amended, if any of the 2017 Senior Notes are outstanding on January 30, 2025 (which is 91 days prior to the maturity of the 2017 Senior Notes), the maturity date of 10.2% of the outstanding Term Loan B principal and any amounts outstanding under the Revolver would accelerate to January 30, 2025, and the commitments available under the Revolver would be reduced to zero on January 30, 2025.
Removed
The maturity of the remaining 89.8% of the outstanding Term Loan B principal would accelerate to April 21, 2025 (which is 10 days prior to the maturity of the 2017 Senior Notes), if any of the 2017 Senior Notes are outstanding as of this date. We refer to this as the “spring-forward maturity” provision of our 2020 Credit Agreement.
Removed
Absent the applicability of the spring-forward maturity provision, the maturity date of the Term Loan B is August 18, 2027 and of the Revolver is August 18, 2025.

While our cash collections have improved significantly since 2021 and are expected to remain strong, we do not currently have available cash and borrowings sufficient to repay the 2017 Senior Notes, which have an outstanding balance of $500.0 million as of December 31, 2023.
Removed
If we are unable to pay off or refinance the 2017 Senior Notes prior to the above-mentioned acceleration dates, or to otherwise address the acceleration of outstanding indebtedness under our 2020 Credit Agreement due to the spring-forward maturity provision, our liquidity, business, operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
Removed
In this event, we may not have sufficient funds available for timely repayment of our indebtedness, and we may not have the ability to borrow or obtain sufficient funds to replace the indebtedness on terms acceptable to us, or at all, in which case an event of default would occur under our 2020 Credit Agreement.
Removed
We are working to refinance the 2017 Senior Notes and anticipate that we will complete a refinancing transaction by the end of April 2024, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete a refinancing on terms that we consider acceptable.

Comparison of 2022 to 2021 Results For a discussion comparing our 2022 results to our 2021 results, refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2023.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. Executive Overview Operating Results Consolidated revenue for 2024 was $4.3 billion, up 12% compared to $3.9 billion for 2023.
Most projects in the Civil segment’s backlog typically convert to revenue over a period of three to five years and in the Building and Specialty Contractors segments over a period of one to three years. We estimate that approximately $4 billion, or approximately 40%, of our backlog as of December 31, 2023 will be recognized as revenue in 2024.
As of December 31, 2024, the mix of backlog by segment was 47% for Civil, 38% for Building and 15% for Specialty Contractors, compared to 42% for Civil, 41% for Building and 17% for Specialty Contractors at the end of 2023. 21 Table of Contents Most projects in the Civil segment’s backlog typically convert to revenue over a period of three to five years and in the Building and Specialty Contractors segments over a period of one to three years.
Significant new awards and contract adjustments in 2023 included the $2.95 billion Brooklyn Jail project in New York (which includes more than $630 million of electrical and mechanical subcontract work to be performed by the Specialty Contractors segment) and $287 million of additional funding for two large health care projects in California. 25 Table of Contents The proliferation of remote and hybrid work for many businesses that began during COVID-19, as well as weaker current economic conditions caused by inflation and higher interest rates, could continue to result in certain delayed or even canceled Building segment project opportunities, particularly in the commercial office end market.
New awards and contract adjustments in 2023 included the $2.95 billion Brooklyn Jail project in New York (which includes more than $630 million of electrical and mechanical subcontract work to be performed by the Specialty Contractors segment) and $287 million of additional funding for two large healthcare projects in California.
Results of Segment Operations The results of our Civil, Building and Specialty Contractors segments are discussed below: Civil Segment Revenue and income from construction operations for the Civil segment are summarized as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2023 2022 Revenue $ 1,883.9 $ 1,734.9 Income from construction operations 198.6 21.1 Revenue for 2023 increased 9% compared to 2022, primarily due to the absence of certain prior-year unfavorable adjustments, as further discussed below, partially offset by the unfavorable impacts in 2023 from various project adjustments, also discussed below.
Results of Segment Operations The results of our Civil, Building and Specialty Contractors segments are discussed below: Civil Segment Revenue and income from construction operations for the Civil segment are summarized as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 Revenue $ 2,118.9 $ 1,883.9 Income from construction operations 138.3 198.6 Revenue for 2024 increased 12% compared to 2023, primarily due to a net increase in project execution activities driven by certain large mass-transit projects in California and Hawaii, two airport projects in the Northern Mariana Islands, and the tunneling component of an energy project in British Columbia, partially offset by reduced project execution activities on a mass-transit project in the Midwest that is nearing completion.
The increase was primarily driven by higher collections in 2023 compared to 2022, as well as a larger decrease in investments in working capital in 2023 compared to the prior year.
The increase was primarily driven by a larger decrease in investments in working capital and a lower use of cash from earnings sources in 26 Table of Contents 2024 compared to the prior year.
Corporate, Tax and Other Matters Corporate General and Administrative Expenses Corporate general and administrative expenses were $75.2 million in 2023 compared to $62.2 million in 2022.
Corporate, Tax and Other Matters Corporate General and Administrative Expenses Corporate general and administrative expenses were $110.2 million in 2024 compared to $75.2 million in 2023. The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses in 2024 compared to 2023 was primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, mainly attributable to higher share-based compensation expense.
On March 10, 2023, the 2020 Credit Agreement was further amended to set the maximum First Lien Net Leverage Ratio covenant level to 3.50:1.00, effective the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022, and 29 Table of Contents increasing to 3.75:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023 and subsequently stepping down to 3.00:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023, 2.50:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2023 and 2.25:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023 and each fiscal quarter thereafter.
For more information regarding the terms of our 2020 Credit Agreement, refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 28 Table of Contents The table below presents our actual and required First Lien Net Leverage Ratio under the 2020 Credit Agreement for the period, which is calculated on a rolling four-quarter basis: Trailing Four Fiscal Quarters Ended December 31, 2024 Actual Required First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (.56) to 1.00 As amended, the 2020 Credit Agreement requires, solely with respect to the Revolver, the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a maximum First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of 3.50:1.00, effective the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022 and increasing to 3.75:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023 and subsequently stepping down to 3.00:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023, 2.50:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2023 and 2.25:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023 and each fiscal quarter thereafter.
In addition, income from construction operations for both 2023 and 2022 was similarly unfavorably impacted by adjustments due to changes in estimates on the Civil segment’s portion of a completed transportation project in the Northeast primarily due to the settlement of certain change orders, changes in estimates due to recent negotiations and incremental cost incurred during project closeout ($14.2 million in 2023 and $15.7 million in 2022).
The decrease in income from construction operations was also partially offset by a net favorable impact of $9.6 million due to the absence of the following prior-year adjustments: 1) a net unfavorable adjustment of $14.4 million due to the aforementioned settlement that affected multiple components of a mass-transit project in California; 2) an unfavorable adjustment of $14.2 million due to changes in estimates on the Civil segment’s portion of a completed transportation project in the Northeast primarily related to the settlement of certain change orders, changes in estimates associated with recent negotiations and incremental cost incurred during project closeout; and 3) net favorable adjustments totaling $19.0 million for a project on the West Coast.
We expect strong operating cash flow to continue in 2024, based on projected cash collections, both from project execution activities and the resolution of additional outstanding claims and unapproved change orders, including COVID-19-related cost recoveries from certain customers. We expect to benefit from the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards to reduce our cash outflows for income taxes.
We expect strong operating cash flow to continue in 2025 based on projected cash collections, both from project execution activities and the resolution of outstanding claims and change orders. We utilized some of our record cash flow from operations in 2024 to repay a total of $245.3 million of our outstanding Term Loan B during 2024.
Other Income, Net, Interest Expense and Income Tax Benefit Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2023 2022 Other income, net $ 17.2 $ 6.7 Interest expense (85.2) (69.6) Income tax benefit 55.0 75.1 Other income, net increased by $10.5 million in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to a gain on sale of property in 2023.
These awards are remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change recognized in earnings. 25 Table of Contents Other Income, Net, Interest Expense and Income Tax Benefit Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 Other income, net $ 19.9 $ 17.2 Interest expense (89.1) (85.2) Income tax benefit 50.7 55.0 Other income, net increased by $2.7 million in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to an increase in interest income associated with a larger amount of cash on hand in 2024 compared to the prior year.
The 2022 temporary aggregate negative project adjustments of $119.7 million referred to above included a temporary unfavorable non-cash impact of $38.8 million resulting from the successful negotiation of significant lower margin (and lower risk) change orders on the same Civil segment project on the West Coast.
Temporary aggregate negative project adjustments referred to above for 2024 of $97.2 million included a temporary non-cash impact of $31.8 million in the fourth quarter for a Civil segment project on the West Coast, which primarily resulted from significant changes that have been negotiated, or are being negotiated, that carry lower margin (and lower risk) that reduced the project’s percentage of completion and overall margin percentage.
The increase in operating margin for 2023 was primarily due to the factors discussed above that drove the increase in income from construction operations. New awards in the Civil segment totaled $1.7 billion in 2023 compared to $1.6 billion in 2022.
New awards in the Civil segment totaled $6.7 billion in 2024 compared to $1.7 billion in 2023.
Many economists believe that interest rates will begin falling sometime during 2024. Lower interest rates would likely support additional demand for continued infrastructure spending.
Lower interest rates could support additional demand for continued infrastructure spending.
Interest expense increased $15.6 million in 2023 compared to 2022. The increase in 2023 compared to 2022 was substantially due to higher interest rates on the Term Loan B and the Revolver, as discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources . The effective income tax rate was 30.1% for 2023 compared to 28.1% for 2022.
Interest expense on the Term Loan B amounted to $36.9 million and $41.9 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 29.3% for 2024 compared to 30.1% for 2023.
Operating margin was (20.9)% in 2023 compared to (20.7)% in 2022. The change in operating margin was mainly attributable to the aforementioned factors that drove the lower loss from construction operations in 2023. 26 Table of Contents New awards in the Specialty Contractors segment totaled $1.1 billion in 2023 compared to $729.3 million in 2022.
The improvement was also offset by the reduced project execution activities discussed above. Operating margin was (17.5)% in 2024 compared to (20.9)% in 2023. The change in operating margin was mainly attributable to the aforementioned factors that drove the lower loss from construction operations in 2024.
The items that caused a higher effective tax rate in 2023 as compared to 2022 were primarily higher earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests (for which income taxes are not the responsibility of the Company), partially offset by lower state income taxes (net of the federal tax benefit).
The items that caused a lower effective tax rate in 2024 as compared to 2023 were primarily non-deductible compensation expenses and an increase in the valuation allowance, offset by higher state income taxes. For a further discussion of income taxes, refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Specialty Contractors Segment Revenue and loss from construction operations for the Specialty Contractors segment are summarized as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2023 2022 Revenue $ 693.8 $ 813.3 Loss from construction operations (144.8) (168.0) Revenue for 2023 decreased 15% compared to 2022, principally due to reduced project execution activities on the electrical and mechanical components of a completed transportation project in the Northeast, as well as the aforementioned unfavorable non-cash adjustments due to changes in estimates on the electrical and mechanical scope of this same project associated with changes in the expected recovery on certain unapproved change orders resulting from ongoing negotiations and the adverse legal ruling on an educational facilities project in New York.
Some of these projects are soon expected to advance into the construction phase, and we anticipate that we will book significant additional backlog for these projects as a result. 24 Table of Contents Specialty Contractors Segment Revenue and loss from construction operations for the Specialty Contractors segment are summarized as follows: Year Ended December 31, (in millions) 2024 2023 Revenue $ 590.4 $ 693.8 Loss from construction operations (103.3) (144.8) Revenue for 2024 decreased 15% compared to 2023, principally due to reduced project execution activities on various electrical and mechanical projects in New York and Florida and an industrial facility project in Arizona, all of which are completed or nearing completion.
