1.Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Orion Group Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Company”), is a leading specialty construction company serving the infrastructure, industrial, and building sectors, providing services both on and off the water in the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada and the Caribbean Basin through its marine segment and its concrete segment. Our marine segment provides construction and dredging services including marine transportation facility construction, marine pipeline construction, marine environmental structures construction, dredging of waterways, channels and ports, environmental dredging, design, and specialty services related to marine construction, fabrication, and dredging. Our concrete segment provides turnkey concrete construction services including concrete surface place and finish, site preparation, layout, forming, and rebar placement for large commercial, structural and other associated business areas. We are headquartered in Houston, Texas with regional offices throughout our operating areas.

Although we describe the business in this report in terms of the services the Company provides, its base of customers and the areas in which it operates, the Company has determined that its operations currently comprise two reportable segments pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting.

The tools used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance are based on two reportable and operating segments: marine and concrete, which operate under the Orion brand and logo.

In making this determination, the Company considered the similar economic characteristics of its operations that comprise its marine segment. For the marine segment, the methods used, and the internal processes employed, to deliver marine construction services are similar throughout the segment, including standardized estimating, project controls and project management. This segment has the same customers with similar funding drivers and are subject to similar regulatory regimes driven through Federal agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”), among others. Additionally, the segment is driven by macro-economic considerations including the level of import/export seaborne transportation, development of energy-related infrastructure, cruise line expansion and operations, marine bridge infrastructure development, waterway pipeline crossings and the maintenance of waterways. These considerations, and others, are key catalysts for future prospects and are similar across the segment.

For the concrete segment, the Company also considered the similar economic characteristics of these operations. The methods used, and the internal processes employed, to deliver concrete construction services are similar throughout the segment, including standardized estimating, project controls and project management. The projects of this segment are subject to similar regulatory regimes such as OSHA. Additionally, this segment is driven by macro-economic considerations, including movements in population, commercial real estate development, institutional funding and expansion, and recreational development, specifically in metropolitan areas of Texas.

Table of Contents

These considerations, and others, are key catalysts for current operations and future prospects and are similar across the segment.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and financial information included herein have been prepared pursuant to the interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Consequently, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Readers of this report should also read the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”) as well as Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also included in its 2023 Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results realizable for the year ending December 31, 2024.

In connection with preparing consolidated financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, the Company is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Substantial doubt exists when conditions and events, considered in aggregate, indicate that it is probable that a company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. This evaluation initially does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans and actions that have not been fully implemented as of the date that the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both: (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued; and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Generally, to be considered probable of being effectively implemented, the plans must have been approved before the date that the financial statements are issued.

The assessment of the liquidity and going concern requires the Company to make estimates of future activity and judgments about whether the Company is compliant with financial covenant calculations under its debt and other agreements and has adequate liquidity to operate. Significant assumptions used in the Company's forecasted model of liquidity include forecasted sales, costs, our ability to manage spending on capital expenditures, our ability to complete certain asset sales, collect claims and unapproved change order revenue and improve working capital. Based on an assessment of these factors, management believes that the Company will have adequate liquidity for its operations for at least the next 12 months. Therefore, management’s conclusion is that substantial doubt is not raised as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management’s estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience; however, actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the significant accounting policies used to prepare its consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, those related to:

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is derived from contracts to provide marine construction, dredging, turnkey concrete services, and other specialty services. The Company’s projects are typically brief in duration, but occasionally, span a period of over one year. The Company determines the appropriate accounting treatment for each contract before work begins and, subject to qualifications discussed in the next paragraph, records contract revenue over time.

Performance obligations are promises in a contract to transfer distinct goods or services to the customer and are the unit of account under Topic 606. Each of the Company’s contracts and related change orders typically represent a single performance obligation because the Company provides an integrated service and individual goods and services are not separately identifiable. Revenue is recognized over time because control of the promised goods and services are continuously transferred to the customer over the life of the contract. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using its best estimate of the stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service. Progress is measured by the percentage of actual contract costs incurred to date to total estimated costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers contract costs incurred to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Contract costs include all direct costs, such as material and labor, and those indirect costs incurred that are related to contract performance such as payroll taxes and insurance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Upfront costs, such as costs to mobilize personnel and equipment prior to satisfying a performance obligation are capitalized and amortized over the contract performance period.

Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and reported revenue and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Table of Contents

The effect of changes in estimates of contract revenue or contract costs is recognized as an adjustment to recognized revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis to match contract progress with revenue recognition. When the Company anticipates a loss on a contract that is not yet complete, it recognizes the entire loss in the period in which such losses are determined. Revenue is recorded net of any sales taxes collected and paid on behalf of the customer, if applicable.

Contract revenue is derived from the original contract price as modified by agreed-upon change orders and estimates of variable consideration related to incentive fees and change orders or claims for which price has not yet been agreed by the customer. The Company estimates variable consideration based on its assessment of the most likely amount to which it expects to be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the estimated recognition of revenue to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative recognized revenue will not occur. A determination that the collection of a claim is probable is based upon the Company’s evaluation of its compliance with the terms of the contract and the extent to which the Company performed in accordance therewith but does not guarantee collection in full.

Assets and liabilities derived from contracts with customers include the following:

​

Classification of Current Assets and Liabilities

The Company includes in current assets and liabilities amounts realizable and payable in the next twelve months.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At times, cash held by financial institutions may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not historically sustained losses on its cash balances in excess of federally insured limits. Cash equivalents at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consisted primarily of overnight bank deposits.

Risk Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of accounts receivable.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenue base depends on its ability to continue to obtain federal, state and local governmental contracts, and indirectly, on the amount of funding available to these agencies for new and current governmental projects.

Table of Contents

Therefore, a portion of the Company’s operations is dependent upon the level and timing of government funding. Statutory mechanics’ liens provide the Company high priority in the event of lien foreclosures following financial difficulties of private owners, thus minimizing credit risk with private customers.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying value, net of allowances for credit losses. The Company had significant investments in billed and unbilled receivables as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Billed receivables represent amounts billed upon the completion of small contracts and progress billings on large contracts in accordance with contract terms and milestone achievements. Unbilled receivables on contracts represent recoverable costs and accrued profits that are not yet capable of being billed under the terms of the applicable contracts. Revenue associated with these billings is recorded net of any sales tax, if applicable.

In establishing an allowance for credit losses, the Company evaluates its contract receivables and contract assets and thoroughly reviews historical collection experience, the financial condition of its customers, billing disputes and other factors. The Company writes off potentially uncollectible accounts receivable against the allowance for credit losses if it is determined that the amounts will not be collected or if a settlement with respect to a disputed receivable is reached for an amount that is less than its carrying value. As of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had recorded an allowance for credit losses of $0.4 million.

Balances billed to customers but not paid pursuant to retainage provisions in construction contracts generally become payable upon contract completion and acceptance by the owner. Retainage at March 31, 2024 totaled $37.4 million, of which $5.0 million is expected to be collected beyond March 31, 2025. Retainage at December 31, 2023 totaled $42.0 million.

From time to time, the Company negotiates change orders and claims with its customers. Unsuccessful negotiations of claims could result in a change to contract revenue that is less than amounts previously recorded, which could result in the recording of a loss in the amount of the shortfall. Successful claims negotiations could result in the recovery of previously recorded losses. Significant losses on receivables could adversely affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations and overall liquidity.

Advertising Costs

The Company primarily obtains contracts through the open bid process, and therefore advertising costs are not a significant component of expense. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Environmental Costs

Costs related to environmental remediation are charged to expense. Other environmental costs are also charged to expense unless they increase the value of the property and/or provide future economic benefits, in which event the costs are capitalized. Environmental liabilities, if any, are recognized when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company did not recognize any environmental liabilities as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company evaluates and presents certain amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at “fair value” in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the Company to base its estimates on assumptions that market participants, in an orderly transaction, would use to price an asset or liability, and to establish a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to determine fair value.

Table of Contents

Refer to Note 7 for more information regarding fair value determination.

The Company generally applies fair value valuation techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with  (1) valuing assets and liabilities acquired in connection with business combinations and other transactions; (2) valuing potential impairment loss related to long-lived assets; and (3) valuing potential impairment loss related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Inventory

Current inventory consists of parts and small equipment held for use in the ordinary course of business and is valued at the lower of cost (using historical average cost) or net realizable value and is relieved as utilized. Where shipping and handling costs are incurred by the Company, these charges are included in inventory and charged to cost of contract revenue upon use. Non-current inventory consists of spare parts (including engines, cutters and gears) that require special order or long-lead times for manufacture or fabrication but must be kept on hand to reduce downtime and is valued at the lower of cost (using historical average cost) or net realizable value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Ordinary maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful life of the asset are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and betterments of equipment are capitalized and depreciated generally over three to ten years until the next scheduled maintenance.

When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations for the respective period.

​

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets for financial statement purposes, as follows:

​

​

The Company generally uses accelerated depreciation methods for tax purposes where beneficial.

Dry-docking costs are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over a period ranging from three to seven years. Dry-docking costs include, but are not limited to, the inspection, refurbishment and replacement of steel, engine components, tailshafts, mooring equipment and other parts of the vessel. Amortization related to dry-docking activities is included as a component of depreciation. These costs and the related amortization periods are periodically reviewed to determine if the estimates are accurate. If warranted, a significant upgrade of equipment may result in a revision to the useful life of the asset, in which case the change is accounted for prospectively.

Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.

Table of Contents

If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value, less the costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. There were no assets classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Leases

Management determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract or modification of the contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset.

Finance and operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. As the implicit rate is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The expected lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

The Company’s lease arrangements have lease and non-lease components. Leases with an expected term of 12 months or less are not accounted for on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

See Note 16 for more information regarding leases.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for equity awards over the vesting period based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. The computed fair value of these awards is recognized as a non-cash cost over the period the employee provides services, which is typically the vesting period of the award. The fair value of restricted stock grants and restricted stock units is equivalent to the fair value of the stock issued on the date of grant and is measured as the closing price of the stock on the date of grant.

Compensation expense is recognized only for share-based payments expected to vest. The Company estimates forfeitures at the date of grant based on historical experience and future expectations. This assessment is updated on a periodic basis. See Note 13 for further discussion of the Company’s share-based compensation plan.

Income Taxes

The Company determines its consolidated income tax provision using the asset and liability method prescribed by U.S. GAAP, which requires the recognition of income tax expense for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current period and for deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns.

Table of Contents

The Company must make significant assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine its current provision for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance to be recorded against any deferred tax asset. The current provision for income tax is based upon the current tax laws and the Company’s interpretation of these laws, as well as the probable outcomes of any tax audits. The value of any net deferred tax asset depends upon estimates of the amount and category of future taxable income reduced by the amount of any tax benefits that the Company does not expect to realize. Actual operating results and the underlying amount and category of income in future years could render current assumptions, judgments and estimates of recoverable net deferred taxes inaccurate, thus impacting the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Company computes deferred income taxes using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under the liability method, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, on its consolidated tax return. The Company evaluates and records any uncertain tax positions based on the amount that management deems is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination and ultimate settlement with the tax authorities in the tax jurisdictions in which it operates.

See Note 11 for additional discussion of income taxes.

Insurance Coverage

The Company maintains insurance coverage for its business and operations. Insurance related to property, equipment, automobile, general liability, and a portion of workers’ compensation is provided through traditional policies, subject to a deductible or deductibles. A portion of the Company’s workers’ compensation exposure is covered through a mutual association, which is subject to supplemental calls.

The marine segment maintains five levels of excess loss insurance coverage, totaling $300 million in excess of primary coverage. The marine segment’s excess loss coverage responds to most of its policies when a primary limit of $1 million has been exhausted; provided that the primary limit for Contingent Maritime Employer’s Liability is $10 million and the Watercraft Pollution Policy primary limit is $5 million. The concrete segment maintains five levels of excess loss insurance coverage, totaling $300 million in excess of primary coverage. The concrete segment’s excess loss coverage responds to most of its policies when a primary limit of $1 million has been exhausted.

If a claim arises and a potential insurance recovery is probable, the impending gain is recognized separately from the related loss. The recovery will only be recognized up to the amount of the loss once the recovery of the claim is deemed probable and any excess gain will fall under contingency accounting and will only be recognized once it is realized. The Company does not net insurance recoveries against the related claim liability as the amount of the claim liability is determined without consideration of the anticipated insurance recoveries from third parties.

Separately, the Company’s marine segment employee health care is paid for by general assets of the Company and currently administered by a third party. The administrator has purchased appropriate stop-loss coverage.

Table of Contents

Losses on these policies up to the deductible amounts are accrued based upon known claims incurred and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. The accruals are derived from known facts, historical trends and industry averages to determine the best estimate of the ultimate expected loss.  Actual claims may vary from estimates. Any adjustments to such reserves are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which they become known. The Company’s concrete segment employee health care is provided through two policies. A fully funded policy is offered primarily to salaried employees and their dependents while a partially self-funded plan with an appropriate stop-loss is offered primarily to hourly employees and their dependents. The self-funded plan is funded to the maximum exposure and, as a result, is expected to receive a partial refund after the policy expiration.

The total accrual for insurance claims liabilities was $5.5 million and $7.5 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, reflected as a component of accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issues accounting standards and updates (each, an "ASU") from time to time to its Accounting Standards Codification (‘ASC’), which is the primary source of U.S. GAAP. The Company regularly monitors ASUs as they are issued and considers applicability to its business. All ASUs are adopted by their respective due dates and in the manner prescribed by the FASB.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments are intended to increase reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures within its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments require disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provides additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures within its consolidated financial statements.

3.Revenue

​

Contract revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The following table represents a disaggregation of the Company’s contract revenues by service line for the marine and concrete segments:

​

​

The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, but has disaggregated its contract revenues in the above chart in terms of services provided within such segments. In making this determination, the Company considered the similar characteristics of its operations as discussed in Note 1. Additionally, as discussed, both the marine and concrete segments have limited contracts with multiple performance obligations. The Company’s contracts are often estimated and bid as one project and evaluated as to performance as one project, not by individual services performed by each. Both the marine and concrete segments have a single individual responsible for managing the entire segment, not by service lines of the segments. Resources are allocated by segment and financial and budgetary information is compiled and reviewed by segment, not service line.

Marine Segment

Construction services include construction, restoration, maintenance, dredging and repair of marine transportation facilities, marine pipelines, bridges and causeways and marine environmental structures. Dredging services generally enhance or preserve the navigability of waterways or the protection of shorelines through the removal or replenishment of soil, sand or rock. Specialty services include design, salvage, demolition, surveying, towing, diving and underwater inspection, excavation and repair.

Concrete Segment

Structural services include elevated concrete pouring for products such as columns, elevated beams and structural walls. Light commercial services include horizontally poured concrete for products such as slabs, sidewalks, ramps and tilt walls. Other services comprise labor related to concrete pouring such as rebar installation and pumping services and typically support the Company’s structural and light commercial services.

​

4.Concentration of Risk and Enterprise-Wide Disclosures

In both reportable segments accounts receivable include amounts billed to governmental agencies and private customers and do not bear interest. Balances billed to customers but not paid pursuant to retainage provisions generally become payable upon contract completion and acceptance by the owner.

​

The table below presents the concentrations of current receivables (trade and retainage) at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively:

​

​

​

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, a customer in the Private Companies category accounted for 14.9% and 19.9% of total current receivables, respectively.

Additionally, the table below represents concentrations of contract revenue by type of customer for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

​

​

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the United States Navy, which is included in the Federal Government category, accounted for 23.7% of total contract revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, one customer in the Private Companies category accounted for 10.9% of total contract revenues.

With the exception of the Unites States Navy, the Company does not believe that the loss of any one of its customers would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates since no single specific customer besides the United States Navy sustains such a large portion of receivables or contract revenue over time.  On March 10, 2023, the United States Navy awarded the Dragados/Hawaiian Dredging/Orion Joint Venture a $2.8 billion contract to complete the construction of a dry dock at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.  The Company’s portion of work as a dedicated subcontractor totals $435.4 million.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s revenue related to the joint venture subcontract was approximately $90.5 million and $38.0 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

The concrete segment primarily purchases concrete from select suppliers. The loss of any one of these suppliers could adversely impact short-term operations.

Contract revenues generated outside the United States totaled 6.0% and 1.7% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and were primarily located in the Caribbean Basin.

​

5.Contracts in Progress

Contracts in progress are as follows at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

​

​

Included in contract assets is approximately $13.7 million and $13.0 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to claims and unapproved change orders. See Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for discussion of the accounting for these claims.

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders or other written contractual commitments from customers for which work has not been performed or is partially completed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders. As of March 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the remaining performance obligations was approximately $756.6 million. Of this amount, the current expectation of the Company is that it will recognize $691.9 million, or 91%, in the next 12 months and the remaining balance thereafter.

​

6.Property and Equipment

The following is a summary of property and equipment at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

​

​

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, depreciation expense was $4.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Substantially all depreciation expense is included in the cost of contract revenue in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

7.Fair Value

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Due to their short-term nature, the Company believes that the carrying value of its accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair values.

The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities into the following three levels based on the inputs used to measure fair value in the order of priority indicated:

Table of Contents

Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s recurring financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

​

​

Our concrete segment had life insurance policies with a combined face value of $11.1 million as of March 31, 2024. The policies are invested in mutual funds and the fair value measurement of the cash surrender balance associated with these policies is determined using Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy and will vary with investment performance. These assets are included in the "Other noncurrent" asset section in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Other Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of the Company’s debt at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 approximated its carrying value of $42.2 million and $42.3 million, respectively, as interest is based on current market interest rates for debt with similar risk and maturity. If the Company’s debt was measured at fair value, it would have been classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

9.Debt

On May 15, 2023, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement with White Oak ABL, LLC and White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC which includes a $65.0 million asset based revolving credit facility and a $38.0 million fixed asset term loan (the “Credit Agreement”). The Company incurred debt issuance costs related to the Credit Agreement of $5.9 million, which will be amortized over the life of the agreement under the effective interest method. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of May 15, 2027. The Company used the proceeds of the Credit Agreement to repay the $40.0 million outstanding on the Company’s prior credit facility. In connection with the extinguishment of the prior credit facility, the Company wrote off the remaining $0.1 million in debt issuance costs associated with the prior credit facility. On December 1, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No, 1 to the Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date for the $15.0 million pre-payment to the earlier of June 30, 2024 and the date that is three business days after receipt of net proceeds in respect of the East and West Jones Sale.

The Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including fixed assets and account receivables, and is used to finance general corporate and working capital purposes, capital expenditures, and permitted acquisitions and associated fees, to refinance existing indebtedness, and to pay for all expenses related to the Credit Agreement. Amounts repaid under the Revolver can be re-borrowed.

The Revolver initially bore interest at a rate of the 30-day SOFR plus 5.5% and the Term Loan at a rate of the 30-day SOFR plus 8.0%, subject to a SOFR floor of 4.0%. On February 27, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, which lowered the interest rate for the Revolver by 50 basis points to 30-day SOFR plus 5.0% and the Term Loan by 100 basis points to 30-day SOFR plus 7.0%, subject to a SOFR floor of 4.0%.

The quarterly weighted average interest rate for the Credit Agreement, as of March 31, 2024 was 13.09%.

Sale-Leaseback Arrangements

On May 15, 2023, the Company entered into a $13.0 million sale-leaseback of certain equipment in which the Company leased-back the equipment for terms ranging from one to three years. The transaction above was recorded as a failed sale-leaseback.

Concurrent with the sale of Company’s Port Lavaca South Yard property, the Company entered into a twenty-year lease agreement whereby the Company will lease back the property at an annual rental rate of approximately $1.1 million, subject to annual rent increases of 2.5%. Under the lease agreement, the Company has four consecutive options to extend the term of the lease by five years for each such option. The portion of the above transaction related to the building was recorded as a failed sale-leaseback.

On September 27, 2019, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company sold its 17300 & 17140 Market Street location in Channelview, Texas for a purchase price of $19.1 million. Concurrent with the sale of the property, the Company entered into a fifteen-year lease agreement whereby the Company will lease back the property at an annual rental rate of approximately $1.5 million, subject to annual rent increases of 2.0%. Under the lease agreement, the Company has two consecutive options to extend the term of the lease by ten years for each such option. The transaction above was recorded as a failed sale-leaseback.

Related to the failed sale-leasebacks, the Company recorded liabilities for the amounts received, will continue to depreciate the non-land portion of the assets, and has imputed an interest rate so that the net carrying amount of the financial liability and remaining assets will be zero at the end of the initial lease terms.

11.Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities available to it. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates its annual tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly tax provision in accordance with the anticipated annual rate.

Income tax (benefit) expense included in the Company’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

​

​

The effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differed from the Company’s statutory federal rate of 21% primarily due to the tax impact from the valuation allowance for current year activity, state income taxes and the non-deductibility of other permanent items.

The Company assessed the realizability of its deferred tax assets and determined that it was more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets would not be realized and therefore recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets. The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, available carryback periods, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. For the period ended March 31, 2024 the Company evaluated all positive and negative evidence in determining the amount of deferred tax assets more likely than not to be realized.

Table of Contents

Based on the review of available evidence, management believes that a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets at March 31, 2024 remains appropriate.

The Company expects the unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2024 for certain federal income tax matters will significantly change over the next 12 months due to a lapse of the statute of limitations. The final outcome of these uncertain tax positions is not yet determinable.

​

12.Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as well as the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents during each period net income is generated. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 222,075 and 280,644 securities, respectively, that were potentially dilutive in earnings per share calculations. Such dilution is dependent on the excess of the market price of our stock over the exercise price and other components of the treasury stock method. The exercise price for certain stock options awarded by the Company exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Such stock options are antidilutive and are not included in the computation of earnings per share for those periods. The Company reported a net loss for all periods presented; therefore, all potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive and are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for such periods.

The following table reconciles the denominators used in the computations of both basic and diluted earnings per share:

13.Share-Based Compensation

The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the administration of the Company’s stock incentive plans, which include the balance of shares remaining under the 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2022 LTIP”), which was approved by shareholders in May of 2022 and authorized 2,175,000 shares, the maximum aggregate number to be issued, plus any shares available for grant under prior long term incentive plans as of the date the 2022 LTIP was approved, and any shares subject to awards granted under the prior plans that expire or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash or otherwise terminated. In general, the Company’s 2022 LTIP provides for grants of restricted stock, performance based awards and stock options to be issued with a per-share price not less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Option terms are specified at each grant date but generally are 10 years from the date of issuance. Options generally vest over a three to five-year period.

Table of Contents

The Company applies a 3.2% and a 5.5% forfeiture rate, which is compounded over the vesting terms of the individual award, to its restricted stock and option grants, respectively, based on historical analysis.

In the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, compensation expense related to share-based awards outstanding was $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, payments related to tax withholding for share-based compensation for certain officers of the Company were none and $0.2 million, respectively.

On March 4, 2024, an executive of the Company was awarded a total of 2,197 shares of restricted common stock with a vesting period of three years and a fair value of $6.83 per share.

On March 20, 2024, the Company granted certain executives a total of 109,503 shares of restricted common stock with a vesting period of three years and a fair value of $8.36 per share.

On March 20, 2024, the Company granted certain executives a total of 205,322 performance-based units. The performance-based units will potentially vest 100% if the target is met, with 50% of the units to be earned based on the achievement of an objective, tiered return on invested capital, measured over a three-year performance period and 50% of the units to be earned based on the achievement of an objective, tiered return on relative total shareholder return, measured over a three-year performance period. The Company evaluates the probability of achieving this each reporting period. The fair value of the grants awarded related to the return on invested capital was $8.36 per share and the fair value of the grants awarded related to the relative total shareholder return will be valued using a Monte Carlo simulation.

In the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were 46,322 options exercised generating proceeds to the Company of $0.3 million. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no options exercised.

At March 31, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock was approximately $5.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 2.4 years.

14.Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal and other proceedings which are incidental to the conduct of its business, none of which in the opinion of management will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
