Comprehensive Surety Support and Debt Restructuring
Sureties committed $226 million in total support, including $116 million brought into the business (approximately $14M pre-year-end and $102M in Q1), assumed $110 million of the Senior Credit Facility after the Company paid down ~$14M, waived scheduled principal and monthly interest payments through maturity, and agreed that any Washington State Convention Center settlement repayment will not be required prior to March 27, 2027. Expected reduction in debt service of approximately $27 million over the next 12 months.
Backlog and New Awards
Ending backlog slightly over $2.0 billion. During Q4 the company added roughly $118 million of new awards (notable wins: $48M data-center pipeline project, $40M CMAR water resource project in Texas, $30M pump-station & transmission-main in Cape Coral, FL).
Civil Segment Solid Full-Year Revenue and Positive Core Margins
Civil full-year revenue increased to $342.3 million from $323.3 million in 2024. Civil gross profit for the full-year was $16.3 million (4.8% margin), largely in line with prior-year core performance, indicating core Civil remains a stable contributor.
Strategic Plan and Asset Monetization
Management outlined a clear strategic plan: monetize idle equipment and non-core real estate to pay down debt, focus bidding on high-margin water-resource/bridge/marine/tunnel projects in core geographies, and optimize the fleet to align with core-project footprint.
Market Tailwinds and Active Pipeline
Management cited continued multi-year demand driven by Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and private data-center expansion; an active pipeline includes several named opportunities (Pojoaque Basin Phase 2, Winnipeg Phase 3, Claiborne Pell Bridge rehab, Liberty Bend Bridge design-build).
SG&A Reduction Year-over-Year
Full-year selling, general & administrative expenses declined slightly to $61.6 million from $63.3 million in 2024, reflecting modest cost control (offset in Q4 by one-time bad-debt and transformation costs).
