Our concrete segment is geographically concentrated in Texas. ​ Our concrete segment, which accounted for 34.5%, 44.4% and 54.7% of our contract revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, is concentrated in the metropolitan areas of the State of Texas, particularly Houston and Dallas.
Removed
We are capable of building much of the specialized equipment used in our projects, including dayboats, tenders and dredges.
Added
In addition, our operations in Texas may make us more susceptible to natural disasters, including hurricanes, tornadoes and flooding. ​ A significant portion of our revenues may be concentrated among a small number of projects. ​ From time to time in any given period, a significant percentage of our revenues may be attributable to a limited number of contracts, customers or projects.
Removed
Our operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may expose us to significant costs and liabilities.
Added
Furthermore, even if the ultimate amount of our contract revenue attributable to a particular project remains the same, delays in scheduled work may impact the timing of the recognition of our contract revenues and profits. In addition, in many cases, we work as a subcontractor or among a team of contractors.
Removed
In addition, we may be subject to disruptions by organized labor groups protesting our non-union status.
Added
Our ability to timely execute on our work is often affected by scheduling changes or contract performance by our co-contractors, all of which are outside of our control. ​ For example, our Pearl Harbor Project for the United States Navy, our portion of which totals approximately $450.2 million, and our design-build contract for the Grand Bahama Shipyard totaling approximately $120.2 million may concentrate our revenues.
Removed
Any of these events could damage our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Added
To the extent we are unable to perform our services or experience any delays in the Pearl Harbor Project, the Grand Bahama Shipyard or any other significant project, anticipated revenue or profits associated with that project may not be realized or may otherwise shift into future periods, which may impact the accuracy of our guidance. ​ The timing and funding of new contracts may result in volatility in our cash flow and profitability.
Added
If an expected contract award or the related notice to proceed is delayed or not received, we could incur substantial costs without receipt of any corresponding revenues, or the revenues could appear in periods later than expected.
Added
In addition, a change in the timing of a construction project may impact future revenue. If a project is delayed, revenue that we expect to receive may appear in periods later than we initially expected, which may impact the accuracy of our guidance.
Added
Any such predictions may be impacted by these factors as well as others that are beyond our control and might not turn out to be accurate. ​ We may not be able to enter into contracts associated with our pipeline of opportunities, or realize any revenue associated with our pipeline of opportunities. ​ As of December 31, 2024, we had a pipeline of opportunities of approximately $16 billion.
Added
We define our pipeline of opportunities as specific projects that we have identified and are tracking as projects of interest. ​ Our pipeline of opportunities does not represent binding contracts with third parties.
Added
Before we can capitalize on our pipeline of opportunities, we would have to enter into contracts with third parties, or otherwise be selected to perform services, for the particular project identified in our pipeline of opportunities.
Added
We cannot provide any assurance that we will ultimately enter into a contract with a third party or provide services with respect to any particular opportunity.
