Arcosa, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1. Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
On November 1, 2018, Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Arcosa,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”) became an independent publicly-traded company as a result of the distribution by Trinity Industries, Inc. (“Trinity” or “Former Parent”) of 100% of the outstanding shares of Arcosa, Inc. to Trinity’s stockholders (the “Separation”). Trinity stockholders received one share of Arcosa, Inc. common stock for every three shares of Trinity common stock held as of 5:00 p.m. local New York City time on October 17, 2018, the record date for the distribution. The transaction was structured to be tax-free to both Trinity and Arcosa stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The accompanying Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements present our historical financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income/loss, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The combined financial statements for periods prior to the Separation were derived from Trinity’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records and prepared in accordance with GAAP for the preparation of carved-out combined financial statements. Through the date of the Separation, all revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with Arcosa have been included in the combined financial statements. Prior to the Separation, the combined financial statements also included allocations of certain selling, engineering, and administrative expenses provided by Trinity to Arcosa and allocations of related assets, liabilities, and the Former Parent’s net investment, as applicable. The allocations were determined on a reasonable basis; however, the amounts are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Company been an entity that operated independently of Trinity during the applicable periods.
Following the Separation, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and no longer include any allocations from Trinity.
All normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the results of operations and cash flows have been made in conformity with GAAP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 may not be indicative of expected results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2019. These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Relationship with Former Parent and Related Entities
Prior to the Separation, Arcosa was managed and operated in the normal course of business with other business units of Trinity. The accompanying combined financial results for periods prior to the Separation include sales and purchase transactions with Trinity and its subsidiaries in addition to certain shared costs which have been allocated to Arcosa and reflected as expenses in the Combined Statements of Operations. Transactions and allocations between Trinity and Arcosa are reflected in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity in Net transfers from/(to) Former Parent and affiliates. All transactions and allocations between Trinity and Arcosa prior to the Separation have been deemed paid between the parties, in cash, in the period in which the transaction or allocation was recorded in the Combined Financial Statements. Disbursements and cash receipts were made through centralized accounts payable and cash collection systems, respectively, which were operated by Trinity. As cash was disbursed and received by Trinity, it was accounted for by Arcosa through the Former Parent's net investment account. Allocations of current income taxes receivable or payable prior to the Separation were deemed to have been remitted to Arcosa or Trinity, respectively, in cash, in the period to which the receivable or payable applies.
Corporate Costs/Allocations
Prior to the Separation, the combined financial results include an allocation of costs related to certain corporate functions incurred by Trinity for services that were provided to or on behalf of Arcosa. Corporate costs have been allocated to Arcosa using methods management believes are consistent and reasonable. Such cost allocations to Arcosa consisted of (1) shared service charges and (2) corporate overhead costs. Shared service charges consisted of monthly charges to each Trinity business unit for certain corporate functions such as information technology, human resources, and legal based on usage rates and activity units. Corporate overhead costs consisted of costs not previously allocated to Trinity's business units and were allocated to Arcosa based on an analysis of each cost function and the relative benefits received by Arcosa for the period. Corporate overhead costs allocated to Arcosa prior to the Separation totaled $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Corporate overhead costs are included in selling, engineering, and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. Also see Note 4 Segment Information.

Table of Contents

The Combined Financial Statements of Arcosa may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had we operated as a standalone company during the periods presented and may not reflect our combined results of operations, financial position, and cash flows had we operated as a standalone company during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if we had operated as a standalone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. We also may incur additional costs associated with being a standalone, independent, publicly-traded company that were not included in the expense allocations and, therefore, would result in additional costs that are not reflected in our historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
Other Transactions with Trinity Businesses
For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had sales to Trinity businesses of $43.5 million and purchases from Trinity businesses of $12.8 million. Subsequent to the Separation, Trinity is no longer considered a related entity.
Stockholders' Equity
In December 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $50 million share repurchase program effective December 5, 2018 through December 31, 2020. Under the program, the Company repurchased 269,574 shares at a cost of $8.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, leaving a remaining authorization of $39.0 million. Certain shares of stock repurchased during March 2019, totaling $2.0 million, were cash settled in April 2019 in accordance with normal settlement practices.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured based on the allocation of the transaction price in a contract to satisfied performance obligations. The transaction price does not include any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue, separated by reportable segments. Payments for our products and services are generally due within normal commercial terms. For a further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 4 Segment Information.
Construction Products Group
The Construction Products Group recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Energy Equipment Group
Within the Energy Equipment Group, revenue is recognized for our wind tower and certain utility structure product lines over time as the products are manufactured using an input approach based on the costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs of production. We recognize revenue over time for these products as they are highly customized to the needs of an individual customer resulting in no alternative use to the Company if not purchased by the customer after the contract is executed, and we have the right to bill the customer for our work performed to date plus at least a reasonable profit margin for work performed. As of March 31, 2019, we had a contract asset of $20.4 million related to these contracts, compared to $44.0 million at December 31, 2018. For all other products, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Transportation Products Group
The Transportation Products Group recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.

Income Taxes
Prior to the Separation, the Company’s operating results were included in the Former Parent’s various consolidated U.S. federal and state income tax returns, as well as non-U.S. tax filings. In the Company’s Combined Financial Statements for the periods prior to the Separation, income tax expense and deferred tax balances have been recorded as if the Company filed tax returns on a standalone basis separate from the Former Parent. The separate return method applies the accounting guidance for income taxes to the standalone financial statements as if the Company was a separate taxpayer and a standalone enterprise for the periods presented.
The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.
The Company regularly evaluates the likelihood of realization of tax benefits derived from positions it has taken in various federal and state filings after consideration of all relevant facts, circumstances, and available information. For those tax positions that are deemed more likely than not to be sustained, the Company recognizes the benefit it believes is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of recorded reserves, the effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially impacted.
Financial Instruments
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments to be cash and cash equivalents if purchased with a maturity of three months or less. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and receivables. The Company currently places its cash investments primarily in bank deposits and highly-rated money market funds, and its investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. We seek to limit concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables with control procedures that monitor the credit worthiness of customers, the large number of customers in the Company's customer base, and their dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. As receivables are generally unsecured, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of all receivables. Receivable balances determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. The carrying values of cash, receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.
Derivative Instruments
The Company may, from time to time, use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates or changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For derivative instruments designated as hedges, the Company formally documents the relationship between the derivative instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the derivative instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivative to specific assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, commitments, or forecasted transactions. At the time a derivative instrument is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, the Company assesses whether the derivative instrument is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Any change in the fair value of the hedged instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) as a separate component of stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company monitors its derivative positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not anticipate losses due to counterparties' non-performance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective as of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”) which provides common revenue recognition guidance for GAAP. Under ASU 2014-09, an entity recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services. It also requires additional detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
The Company applied ASU 2014-09 to all contracts that were not complete as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method of adoption, resulting in a reduction to Net Parent Investment of $4.0 million, net of tax, as of January 1, 2018 related to the cumulative effect of applying this standard.
The primary impact of adopting the standard is a change in the timing of revenue recognition for our wind towers and certain utility structures product lines within our Energy Equipment Group. Previously, the Company recognized revenue when the product was delivered. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized over time as the products are manufactured. Revenue recognition policies in our other business segments remain substantially unchanged.
Effective as of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases”, (“ASU 2016-02”) which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The Company elected to use the optional transition method that allows the Company to apply the provisions of the standard at the effective date without adjusting the comparative prior periods. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. The cumulative effect of adopting the standard on the opening balance of retained earnings was not significant.
The primary impact of adopting the standard was the recognition of a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for our operating leases included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 8 Leases for further discussion.
The Company has implemented processes and a lease accounting system to ensure adequate internal controls were in place to assess our contracts and enable proper accounting and reporting of financial information upon adoption.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”, (“ASU 2016-13”) which amends the existing accounting guidance for recognizing credit losses on financial assets and certain other instruments not measured at fair value through net income, including financial assets measured at amortized cost, such as trade receivables and contract assets. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of the asset. The new guidance is expected to result in earlier recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 will become effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the effects of the new standard, including its impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions
There was no acquisition activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
In March 2018, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of an inland barge business with a purchase price and net cash paid of $25.0 million. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on valuations of the acquired assets at their acquisition date fair value using level three inputs, defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets. The valuation resulted in the recognition of $9.5 million of goodwill in our Transportation Products Group. Such assets were not significant in relation to assets at the combined or segment level.
With regard to the acquisition of ACG Materials (“ACG”) in December 2018, the purchase price allocation continues to be preliminary as of March 31, 2019. We expect to complete our purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably possible not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material to the purchase price allocation, particularly with respect to our preliminary estimates of depletable land and deferred income taxes. The following table represents our preliminary purchase price allocation as of March 31, 2019:

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to establish a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values are listed below:
Level 1 – This level is defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents are instruments of the U.S. Treasury or highly-rated money market mutual funds.
Level 2 – This level is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Interest rate hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty. See Note 7 Debt.

Level 3 – This level is defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Note 4. Segment Information
The Company reports operating results in three principal business segments:
Construction Products. The Construction Products segment produces and sells construction aggregates including natural aggregates and specialty materials and manufactures and sells construction site support equipment including trench shields and shoring products and services for infrastructure-related projects.

On November 1, 2018, the Company entered into a $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in November 2023.  The interest rates under the facility are variable based on LIBOR or an alternate base rate plus a margin that is determined based on Arcosa’s leverage as measured by a consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio, which is currently set at LIBOR plus 1.25%. A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit facility at the current rate of 0.20%
As of March 31, 2019, we had $100.0 million of outstanding loans borrowed and $47.5 million of letters of credit issued under the facility, leaving $252.5 million available. Of the outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2019, $46.9 million are expected to expire in 2019, with the remainder in 2020. The majority of our letter of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs and warranty claims and generally renew by their terms each year.
The Company's revolving credit facility requires the maintenance of certain ratios related to leverage and interest coverage. As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. Borrowings under the credit facility are guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
The carrying value of borrowings under our revolving credit facility approximates fair value because the interest rate adjusts to the market interest rate (Level 3 input). See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $1.3 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the revolving credit facility, which are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The remaining principal payments under existing debt agreements as of March 31, 2019 are as follows:

Interest rate hedges
In December 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap instrument, effective as of January 2, 2019 and expiring in 2023, to reduce the effect of changes in the variable interest rates associated with borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The instrument carried an initial notional amount of $100.0 million, thereby hedging the first $100.0 million of borrowings under the credit facility. The instrument effectively fixes the LIBOR component of the credit facility borrowings at 2.71%. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has recorded a liability of $2.4 million for the fair value of the instrument, all of which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting.

Note 8. Leases
We have various leases primarily for office space and certain equipment. At inception, we determine if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. For leases that contain options to purchase, terminate, or extend, such options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Some of the Company's lease arrangements contain lease components and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components for all leases.
As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Operating lease costs were $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Costs related to variable lease rates or leases with terms less than twelve months were not significant.
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $2.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and is included in operating cash flows. There were no additional right-of-use assets recognized as non-cash asset additions that resulted from new operating lease liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Finance Leases
Finance leases are included in Property, Plant, and Equipment, net and Debt on the consolidated balance sheets. The associated amortization expense and interest expense are included in depreciation and interest expense, respectively, on the consolidated income statements. These leases are not material to the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2019.

Note 10. Income Taxes
For interim income tax reporting, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date ordinary income (loss). Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year to date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. We have open tax years from 2013 to 2018 with various significant tax jurisdictions.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the effective tax rate of 22.2% was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due primarily to state taxes partially offset by foreign tax benefits. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the effective tax rate of 26.5% was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% due primarily to state taxes and changes made to valuation allowances.

Note 11. Employee Retirement Plans
Total employee retirement plan expense, which includes related administrative expenses, was $2.7 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Prior to the Separation, these costs were funded through intercompany transactions with Trinity.
The Company participates in a multiemployer defined benefit plan under the terms of a collective-bargaining agreement that covers certain union-represented employees. The Company contributed $0.5 million and $0.6 million to the multiemployer plan for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Total contributions to the multiemployer plan for 2019 are expected to be approximately $2.0 million.
In connection with the acquisition of ACG in December 2018, the Company assumed the assets and liabilities related to a defined benefit pension plan. Employer contributions for 2019 are not expected to be significant.

Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation totaled approximately $3.4 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
For periods prior to the Separation, Arcosa's Combined Financial Statements reflect compensation expense for stock-based plans associated with the portion of the Former Parent's equity incentive plans in which Arcosa employees participated.

Note 14. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income remaining after allocation to unvested restricted shares, which includes unvested restricted shares of Arcosa stock held by employees of the Former Parent, by the weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be antidilutive, the calculation of diluted earnings per common share includes the weighted average net impact of nonparticipating unvested restricted shares. For periods prior to the Separation, the denominator for basic and diluted net income per share was calculated using the 48.8 million shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the Separation. Total weighted average restricted shares were 1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There were no weighted average restricted shares prior to the Separation.
The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share follows.

Note 15. Contingencies
The Company is involved in claims and lawsuits incidental to our business arising from various matters including commercial disputes, alleged product defect and/or warranty claims, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims, environmental issues, employment and/or workplace-related matters, and various governmental regulations. The Company evaluates its exposure to such claims and suits periodically and establishes accruals for these contingencies when a range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The range of reasonably possible losses for such matters, taking into consideration our rights in indemnity and recourse to third parties is $1.3 million to $11.3 million. At March 31, 2019, total accruals of $5.0 million, including environmental matters described below, are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company believes any additional liability would not be material to its financial position or results of operations.

Arcosa is subject to remedial orders and federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment. The Company has reserved $1.1 million as of March 31, 2019, included in our total accruals of $5.0 million discussed above, to cover our probable and estimable liabilities with respect to the investigations, assessments, and remedial responses to such matters, taking into account currently available information and our contractual rights to indemnification and recourse to third parties. However, estimates of liability arising from future proceedings, assessments, or remediation are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings involving the environment or, if we are found to be responsible or liable in any such litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to the Company.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to provide management's perspective on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. Our MD&A is presented in the following sections:
Separation from Trinity
Basis of Historical Presentation
Executive Summary
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Forward-Looking Statements
Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of Arcosa, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Arcosa,” “Company,” “we,” and “our”) and related Notes in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and related Notes in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
Separation from Trinity
Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2018 in connection with the separation of Arcosa from Trinity Industries, Inc. (“Trinity” or “Former Parent”) on November 1, 2018 as an independent, publicly-traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Separation”). At the time of the Separation, Arcosa consisted of certain of Trinity’s former construction products, energy equipment, and transportation products businesses. The Separation was effectuated through a pro rata dividend distribution on November 1, 2018 of all of the then-outstanding shares of common stock of Arcosa to the holders of common stock of Trinity as of October 17, 2018, the record date for the distribution. Trinity stockholders received one share of Arcosa common stock for every three shares of Trinity common stock held as of the record date. The transaction was structured to be tax-free to both Trinity and Arcosa stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Basis of Historical Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements present our historical financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income/loss, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The combined financial statements for periods prior to the Separation were derived from Trinity’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records and prepared in accordance with GAAP for the preparation of carved-out combined financial statements. Through the date of the Separation, all revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with Arcosa have been included in the combined financial statements. Prior to the Separation, the combined financial statements also included allocations of certain selling, engineering, and administrative expenses provided by Trinity to Arcosa and allocations of related assets, liabilities, and the Former Parent’s net investment, as applicable. The allocations were determined on a reasonable basis; however, the amounts are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Company been an entity that operated independently of Trinity during the applicable periods. Related party allocations prior to the Separation, including the method for such allocation, are described further in Note 1, “Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. Following the Separation, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arcosa and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and no longer include any allocations from Trinity.
Trinity continues to provide some general and administrative functions on a transitional basis for a fee following the Separation.
Executive Summary
Financial and Operational Highlights
The Company's revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased 15.9% to $410.9 million compared to the same period in 2018. Operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 totaled $37.3 million, representing an increase of 19.6% from the same period in 2018. Revenues in our Construction Products Group increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period last year primarily due to increased volumes from the December 2018 acquisition of ACG, slightly offset by lower pricing and changes in product mix in our legacy businesses. Operating profit for the group decreased primarily due to the decrease in revenues in the legacy businesses. The Energy Equipment Group recorded higher revenues and operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to higher unit volume and pricing in its wind towers and utility structures business partially offset by the loss of revenues from businesses divested in 2018. Revenues from the Transportation Products Group increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 when compared to the same period last year primarily resulting from higher barge deliveries, while operating profit for the group decreased during the period partially due to start-up costs incurred related to the re-opening of a previously idled barge facility.

Table of Contents

Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses increased by 8.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 when compared to the prior year period largely due to additional costs from the acquired ACG business.
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 22.2% compared to 26.5% for the same period in 2018. The decrease in the tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is primarily due to increased valuation allowances in the prior period that are not included in current period. See Note 10, “Income Taxes” of the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $27.7 million compared with $22.2 million for the same period in 2018.
Our Energy Equipment and Transportation Products Groups operate in cyclical industries. Additionally, results in our Construction Products Group are affected by seasonal fluctuations with the second and third quarters historically being the quarters with the highest revenues.

Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by 15.9% from the prior year period primarily due to the impact of the ACG acquisition in our Construction Products Group, higher barge deliveries in our Transportation Products Group, and higher unit volumes and prices in our Energy Equipment Group.

Operating costs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by 15.6% over the same period in 2018. The increase in our Construction Products Group was primarily due to higher volumes from the acquisition of ACG. Operating costs for the Energy Equipment Group were substantially unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018. Operating costs for the Transportation Products Group were higher for the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to higher barge deliveries and start-up costs incurred related to the re-opening of a previously idled barge facility.
Selling, engineering, and administrative expenses, including Corporate expenses, increased by 8.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 largely due to additional costs from the acquired ACG business. As a percentage of revenue, selling, engineering, and administrative expenses were 9.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to 10.6% for the same period in 2018.

Operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by 19.6% when compared to the same period in 2018. Operating profit in the Construction Products Group decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 when compared to the prior year period primarily due to the decrease in revenues in the legacy businesses as a result of pricing and product mix changes. Operating profit in our Energy Equipment Group increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher unit volume and pricing in our wind towers and utility structures business, the elimination of operating losses from businesses divested in 2018, and a recovery of bad debt from a single customer. Operating profit in our Transportation Products Group decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower steel component deliveries and start-up costs incurred toward the re-opening of a previously idled barge facility, partially offset by higher barge deliveries.

Revenues and cost of revenues increased by 51.0% and 62.0%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, when compared to the same period in 2018. The acquisition of ACG resulted in an increase of approximately 55% in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, slightly offset by lower pricing and changes in product mix in our legacy businesses. The increase in cost of revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily driven by the increased revenues as a result of the ACG acquisition. Selling, engineering, and administrative costs increased by 77.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to additional costs from the acquired ACG business.

Revenues increased by 6.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 when compared to the same period in 2018. Revenues from our wind towers and utility structures product lines increased by 7.5%, driven primarily by a higher unit volume in wind towers and higher pricing levels in utility structures. Revenues from other product lines were flat as higher storage tank volumes were offset by the reduction in revenues from businesses divested in 2018. Cost of revenues increased by 4.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 2018, driven primarily by higher overall volumes offset partially by the reduction in costs from businesses divested in 2018.
Selling, engineering, and administrative costs decreased by 28.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to the reduction of costs from businesses divested in 2018 as well as a $2.9 million recovery of bad debt related to a single customer in our utility structures business.
The backlog for wind towers and utility structures was $549.2 million and $809.7 million at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Approximately 58% of unsatisfied performance obligations for wind towers and utility structures are expected to be delivered during the year ending December 31, 2019 with the remainder expected to be delivered in 2020. Future wind tower orders are subject to uncertainty following the phase-out of the Production Tax Credit. As of March 31, 2019, the backlog for our other business lines in our Energy Equipment Group was $53.0 million, of which 95% is expected to be delivered during the year ending December 31, 2019, with the remainder to be delivered during 2020.

Revenues and cost of revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 by 9.2% and 12.0%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2018 primarily from higher barge deliveries, partially offset by lower steel component deliveries. Cost of revenues also increased by $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to start-up costs incurred towards the re-opening a previously idled barge manufacturing facility, which we expect will begin delivering barges in the second half of 2019. Inland barge production was also impacted by a flood at a separate facility.

Selling, engineering, and administrative costs were substantially unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
As of March 31, 2019, the backlog for the Transportation Products Group was $383.9 million compared to $124.5 million as of March 31, 2018. Approximately 67% of unsatisfied performance obligations for inland barges are expected to be delivered during the year ending December 31, 2019 with the remainder expected to be delivered in 2020.

For periods prior to the Separation, corporate overhead costs consisted of costs not previously allocated to Trinity's business units and have been allocated to Arcosa based on an analysis of each cost function and the relative benefits received by Arcosa for each of the periods using methods management believes are consistent and reasonable. See Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for further information.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the increase in corporate overhead costs compared to 2018 was primarily due to incremental standalone costs related to the replacement of services and fees previously provided or incurred by Trinity as well as other standalone costs such as compensation-related expense related to the establishment of Arcosa’s management team. We estimate that these additional standalone costs will range from $10.0 million to $15.0 million in fiscal year 2019.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Arcosa’s liquidity requirements are primarily to fund our business operations, including capital expenditures, working capital, and disciplined acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, our existing cash balance and, as necessary, borrowings under the revolving credit facility and issuance of long-term debt or equity. To the extent we generate discretionary cash flow, we may consider using this additional cash flow to undertake new capital investment projects, execute strategic acquisitions, return capital to stockholders, or for general corporate purposes.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $125.0 million compared to $89.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Receivables at March 31, 2019 decreased by $85.2 million or 29.2% since December 31, 2018 primarily due to lower trade receivables in our Energy Equipment and Transportation Products Groups. Raw materials inventory at March 31, 2019 increased by $2.9 million or 2.3% since December 31, 2018. Work in process inventory increased by $9.3 million or 27.9% and finished goods inventory increased by $6.8 million or 7.5% since December 31, 2018 primarily in our Transportation Products Group. Accounts payable decreased by $6.9 million, while accrued liabilities increased by $9.2 million from December 31, 2018. We continually review reserves related to collectibility as well as the adequacy of lower of cost or net realizable value with regard to accounts receivable and inventory.
Investing Activities. Net cash required by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $17.3 million compared to $31.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $18.0 million compared to $7.6 million for the same period last year. Full-year capital expenditures are expected to range between $70 million and $80 million in 2019. We expect maintenance capital expenditures to be in the range of $60 million to $65 million and the capital expenditures related to additional growth to be in the range of $10 million and $15 million in 2019. Proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment and other assets totaled $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2018. There was no acquisition activity for the three months ended March 31,

2019 compared to cash paid for acquisitions of $25.0 million for the same period in 2018. There was no divestiture activity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
Financing Activities. Net cash required by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $89.1 million compared to $57.8 million for the same period in 2018. Current year activity was primarily related to the $80.0 million repayments of advances under the Company's revolving credit facility, while prior year activity was primarily related to net transfers to Former Parent totaling $54.8 million.
Other Investing and Financing Activities
Revolving Credit Facility
On November 1, 2018, the Company entered into a $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in November 2023.  The interest rates under the facility are variable based on LIBOR or an alternate base rate plus a margin that is determined based on Arcosa’s leverage as measured by a consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio, which is currently set at LIBOR plus 1.25%. A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving facility at the current rate of 0.20%. Borrowings under the credit facility are guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
As of March 31, 2019, we had $100.0 million of outstanding loans borrowed and $47.5 million of letters of credit issued under the facility, leaving $252.5 million available.
The Company's revolving credit facility requires the maintenance of certain ratios related to leverage and interest coverage. As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants.
Dividends and Repurchase Program
In March 2019, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share paid in April 2019.
In December 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $50 million share repurchase program effective December 5, 2018 through December 31, 2020. Under the program, the Company repurchased 269,574 shares at a cost of $8.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, leaving a remaining authorization of $39.0 million. Certain shares of stock repurchased during March 2019, totaling $2.0 million, were cash settled in April 2019 in accordance with normal settlement practices. See Note 1 “Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
Derivative Instruments
In December 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap instrument, effective as of January 2, 2019 and expiring in 2023, to reduce the effect of changes in the variable interest rates associated with borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The instrument carried an initial notional amount of $100.0 million, thereby hedging the first $100.0 million of borrowings under the credit facility. The instrument effectively fixes the LIBOR component of the credit facility borrowings at 2.71%. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has recorded a liability of $2.4 million for the fair value of the instrument, all of which is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 3 “Fair Value Accounting” and Note 7 “Debt” to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2019, we had letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $47.5 million. Of the outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2019, $46.9 million are expected to expire in 2019, with the remainder in 2020. The majority of our letters of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs and warranty claims and generally renew by their terms each year. See Note 7 “Debt” to the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There has been no material change in our market risks since December 31, 2018 as set forth in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 9 “Other, Net” of the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that it is able to collect and record the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and to process, summarize, and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining these procedures and, as required by the rules of the SEC, evaluating their effectiveness. Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures that took place as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers believe that these procedures are effective to 1) ensure that the Company is able to collect, process, and disclose the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files with the SEC within the required time periods and 2) accumulate and communicate this information to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding this disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
As permitted by the SEC Staff interpretive guidance for recently acquired businesses, management's assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2019 excludes an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of the ACG business acquired in December 2018. The ACG business represents approximately 17% of consolidated total assets and approximately 10% of consolidated revenues as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019, respectively.
