INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENERGY ALTERNATIVES, INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)

Note 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

    Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. (f/k/a M III Acquisition Corporation ("M III")), a Delaware corporation, is a holding company organized on August 4, 2015 (together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires, "IEA" or the "Company").

    The Company specializes in providing complete engineering, procurement and construction services throughout the United States ("U.S.") for the renewable energy, traditional power and civil infrastructure industries. These services include the design, site development, construction, installation and restoration of infrastructure. The Company is focused on the wind industry and the solar market, and with its 2018 acquisitions expanded its construction capabilities and geographic footprint in the areas of renewables, environmental remediation, industrial maintenance, specialty paving, and heavy civil and rail infrastructure construction, creating a diverse national platform of specialty construction capabilities.
Reportable Segments
The Company has two reportable segments: the Renewables ("Renewables") segment and the Heavy Civil and Industrial ("Specialty Civil") segment. See Note 10. Segments for a description of the reportable segments and their operations.
Principles of Consolidation
    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
    The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IEA and its wholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The Company occasionally forms joint ventures with unrelated third parties for the execution of single contracts or projects. The Company assesses its joint ventures to determine if they meet the qualifications of a variable interest entity ("VIE") in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic 810, Consolidation ("ASC 810"). For construction joint ventures that are not VIEs or fully consolidated but for which the Company has significant influence, the Company accounts for its interest in the joint ventures using the proportionate consolidation method, see Note 11. Joint Ventures.
In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 7, 2022 (the "Annual Report").
Basis of Accounting and Use of Estimates    
    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Key estimates include: the recognition of revenue and project profit or loss; fair value estimates related to warrant liabilities; valuations of goodwill and intangible assets; asset lives used in computing depreciation and amortization; accrued self-insured claims; other reserves and accruals; accounting for income taxes; and the estimated impact of contingencies and ongoing litigation. While management believes that its estimates are reasonable when considered in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
The prior period presentation of the warrant liability fair value adjustment has been revised to conform to the current period presentation and is presented as a single line item within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This change has no effect on net income or stockholders' equity.

6


The prior period presentation of deferred compensation has been revised to conform to the current period presentation and consolidated within the 'Other' line of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. This change has no effect on cash flows from operating activities.

Revenue Recognition
    The Company derives revenue primarily from construction projects performed under contracts for specific projects requiring the construction and installation of an entire infrastructure system or specified units within an infrastructure system. Contracts contain multiple pricing options, such as fixed price, unit price, or time and materials. Generally, renewable energy projects are performed for private customers while Specialty Civil projects are performed primarily for utilities, railroads, and various governmental entities.
    Revenue derived from projects billed on a fixed-price basis totaled 81.0% and 87.3% of consolidated revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and totaled 78.6% and 84.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue derived from projects billed on a unit price basis totaled 18.5% and 12.0% of consolidated revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and totaled 20.7% and 13.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue and related costs for contracts billed on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are rendered. Revenue derived from projects billed on a time and materials basis totaled 0.5% and 0.7% of consolidated revenue from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and totaled 0.7% and 1.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The prior period presentation of the components of the Company’s revenue by contract type has been revised to conform to the current presentation.

    Construction contract revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost measure of progress for fixed price contracts. The cost-to-cost measure of progress best depicts the continuous transfer of control of goods or services to the customer. The contractual terms provide that the customer compensates the Company for services rendered.

    Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and subcontracted costs, as well as indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and the costs of capital equipment. The cost estimation and review process for recognizing revenue over time under the cost-to-cost method is based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers and financial professionals. Management reviews estimates of total contract transaction price and total project costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions and management’s assessment of expected variable consideration are factors that influence estimates of the total contract transaction price, total costs to complete those contracts and profit recognition. Changes in these factors could result in revisions to revenue and costs of revenue in the period in which the revisions are determined on a prospective basis, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations for that period. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses are determined.
Performance Obligations
    A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to distinct performance obligations and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company’s contracts often require significant integrated services and, even when delivering multiple distinct services, are generally accounted for as a single performance obligation. Contract amendments and change orders are generally not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integrated service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as a modification of the existing contract and performance obligation. With the exception of certain Specialty Civil service contracts, the majority of the Company’s performance obligations are generally completed within one year.
    When more than one contract is entered into with the same customer on or close to the same date, the Company evaluates whether those contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract, as well as whether those contracts should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and is based on the facts and circumstances of the various contracts, which could change the amount of revenue and profit recognition in a given period depending upon the outcome of the evaluation.
    Remaining performance obligations represent the amount of unearned transaction prices for contracts, including approved and unapproved change orders. As of June 30, 2022, the amount of the Company’s remaining performance obligations was $2.2 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 79.9% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next twelve months. Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was $(2.0) million and $(0.8) million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $(14.9) million and $(0.4) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
7


Variable Consideration
    Transaction pricing for the Company’s contracts may include variable consideration, such as unapproved change orders, claims, incentives and liquidated damages. Management estimates variable consideration for a performance obligation utilizing estimation methods that best predict the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the estimated transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Management’s estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based on legal opinions, past practices with the customer, specific discussions, correspondence or preliminary negotiations with the customer and all other relevant information that is reasonably available. The effect of a change in variable consideration on the transaction price of a performance obligation is typically recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. To the extent unapproved change orders, claims and liquidated damages reflected in the transaction price are not resolved in the Company’s favor, or to the extent incentives reflected in the transaction price are not earned, there could be reductions in, or reversals of, previously recognized revenue.
    As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company included approximately $111.1 million and $94.5 million, respectively, of estimated transaction price adjustments that arise from unapproved change orders in process of being resolved in the normal course of business and/or from transaction price disputes in contracts that are subject to resolution through litigation, arbitration and other legal proceedings. These transaction price adjustments are included within Contract Assets or Contract Liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as appropriate. The Company actively engages with its customers to complete the final approval process on unapproved change orders and generally expects these processes to be completed within one year, while sometimes disputes subject to formal legal proceedings can take longer than a year to resolve. Amounts ultimately realized upon resolution with customers of these transaction price adjustments could be higher or lower than such estimated amounts.
Disaggregation of Revenue
    The following tables disaggregate revenue by customers and services performed, which the Company believes best depicts the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of its revenue:

Construction Joint Ventures

Certain contracts are executed through joint ventures. The arrangements are often formed for the execution of single contracts or projects and allow the Company to share risks and secure specialty skills required for project execution.
In accordance with ASC 810, the Company assesses its joint ventures at inception to determine if they meet the qualifications of a VIE. The Company considers a joint venture a VIE if either (a) the total equity investment is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) characteristics of a controlling financial interest are missing (either the ability to make decisions through voting or other rights, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity), or (c) the voting rights of the equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and/or their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. Upon the occurrence of certain events outlined in ASC 810, the Company reassesses its initial determination of whether the joint venture is a VIE.
The Company also evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary of each VIE and consolidates the VIE if the Company has both (a) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company considers the contractual agreements that define the ownership structure, distribution of profits and losses, risks, responsibilities, indebtedness, voting rights and board representation of the respective parties in determining whether it qualifies as the primary beneficiary. The Company also considers all parties that have direct or implicit variable interests when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary. When the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary, the VIE is consolidated. In accordance with ASC 810, management’s assessment of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is performed continuously.
Construction joint ventures that do not involve a VIE, or for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, are evaluated for consolidation under the voting interest model that considers whether the Company owns or controls more than 50% of the voting interest in the joint venture. For construction joint ventures that are not consolidated but for which the Company has significant influence, the Company accounts for its interest in the joint ventures using the proportionate consolidation method, whereby the Company’s proportionate share of the joint ventures’ assets, liabilities, revenue and cost of operations are included in the appropriate classifications in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 11. Joint Ventures for additional discussion regarding joint ventures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
    Management has evaluated recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that they will have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

COVID-19 Pandemic
    The Company believes that the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Currently, most of the Company’s construction services are deemed essential under governmental mitigation orders and both of the Company's business segments continue to operate. The Company has issued several notices of force majeure for the purpose of recognizing delays in construction schedules due to COVID-19 outbreaks on certain of its work sites and has also received notices of force majeure from the owners of certain projects and certain subcontractors. Management does not believe that any delays on projects related to these events of force majeure will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could affect the Company’s future business activities and financial results, including new contract awards, reduced crew productivity, contract amendments or cancellations, higher operating costs or delayed project start dates or project shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities or others. Management believes that it is taking appropriate steps to mitigate any potential impact to the Company; however, given the uncertainty regarding the ongoing potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, any future impacts cannot be quantified or predicted with specificity.

Warrant Information

On August 4, 2015, M III formed a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation and issued public and private warrants before the merger with the Company. As of the merger, the Company had 16,960,000 warrants ("Merger Warrants") outstanding, of which 460,000 were considered private warrants. Two Merger Warrants will be exercisable for one share of our common stock at $11.50 per share until the expiration on March 26, 2023. The 460,000 private warrants can be exercised on a cashless basis.

In 2019, the Company entered into three equity agreements and issued Series B Preferred Stock. The agreements required that upon the exercise of any warrant with an exercise price of $11.50 or higher the Series B Preferred Stock will receive additional warrants ("Series B Preferred Stock - Anti-dilution Warrants") to purchase common shares at a price of $0.0001 per share. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 5,308,697 Merger Warrants, of which 295,000 are considered private warrants, to purchase 2,654,349 shares of common stock at $11.50 per share. If the Merger Warrants were converted it would result in an additional 0.8 million anti-dilution warrants being issued. See Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further discussion.

In August 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with ASOF Holdings I, L.P. and Ares Special Situations Fund IV, L.P. (together, "Ares Parties") which resulted in, among other things, the redemption of all Series A and Series B Preferred Stock, the issuance of Common Shares for the Ares Parties Series B Preferred Stock - Warrants and for Series B Preferred Stock - Anti-dilution rights, and the issuance of Pre-Funded warrants, exercisable into Common sock at a price of $0.0001 per share. The anti-dilution rights remain in place for the exercise of any Merger Warrants converted into Common Shares. See Note 8. Earnings Per Share for further discussion.


Note 2. Contract Assets and Liabilities and Accounts Receivable, Net

The Company bills its customers based on contractual terms, including milestone billings based on the completion of certain phases of the work. Sometimes, billing occurs after revenue recognition, resulting in unbilled revenue, which is accounted for as a contract asset. Sometimes the Company receives advance mobilization payments from its customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in deferred revenue, which is accounted for as a contract liability.

    Contract assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets represents the following:

costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, which arise when revenue has been recorded but the amount has not been billed; and

retainage amounts for the portion of the contract price earned by us for work performed but held for payment by the customer as a form of security until the Company reaches certain construction milestones or completes the project.

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

    The valuation hierarchy is composed of three levels. The classification within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels within the valuation hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities listed on active market exchanges.
12


Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

    The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Ending Balance, June 30, 2022

The information below describes the balance sheet classification and the fair value measurement for the Company's liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Private Warrants - The Company has approximately 295,000 private warrants for which the Company adjusts the fair value at the end of each fiscal period using the price on that date multiplied by the number of remaining private warrants. The fair value adjustment was recorded as a warrant liability fair value adjustment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. For further discussion see Note 8. Earnings Per Share.

    Series B Preferred Stock - Anti-dilution Warrants - As of June 30, 2022, the Company had 5,308,697 Merger Warrants outstanding. The conversion of Merger Warrants would result in the issuance of 0.8 million shares in the form of anti-dilution warrants. As of June 30, 2022, the Company recorded the anti-dilution warrants at fair value, which was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation based on certain significant unobservable inputs, such as a risk rate premium, volatility of stock, conversion stock price, current stock price and amount of time remaining before expiration of the Merger Warrants. The calculation derived a fair value of $2.5 million for the liability based on an anti-dilution share fair value of $3.11.

Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value calculation as of the period indicated were as follows:

June 30, 2022
Stock price$8.03 
Conversion stock price$11.50 
Time before Merger Warrant expiration0.74 years
Stock volatility66.54 %
Risk-free interest rate2.61 %

    Other financial instruments of the Company not listed in the table consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities that approximate their fair values. Additionally, management believes that the carrying value of the Company's outstanding debt balances, further discussed in Note 6. Debt, approximate fair value.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On August 17, 2021, IEA Energy Services LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Services"), issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the "Senior Unsecured Notes"), in a private placement. Interest is payable on the Senior Unsecured Notes on each February 15 and August 15. The Senior Unsecured Notes will mature on August 15, 2029. The Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain of its domestic wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Guarantors").

Credit Agreement

On August 17, 2021, Services, as the borrower, and certain guarantors (including the Company), entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders and CIBC Bank USA in its capacities as the Administrative and Collateral Agent for the lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company (the "Credit Agreement Guarantors" and together with Services, the "Loan Parties") and is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Loan Parties’ personal property and assets. Services has the ability to increase available borrowing under the credit facility by an additional amount up to $50.0 million subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2022, $30.0 million was outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility, bearing an interest rate of 6.25%.

Interest rates on the credit facility are based upon either (1) an index rate that is established at the highest of the prime rate or the sum of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (2) at Services’ election, a LIBOR rate, plus in either case, an applicable interest rate margin. The applicable interest rate margins are adjusted on a quarterly basis based upon Services’ first lien net leverage within the range of 1.00% to 2.50% for index rate loans and 2.00% and 3.50% for LIBOR loans. Borrowings under the credit facility shall initially bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.50%. In anticipation of LIBOR's phase out, the Credit Agreement includes a documented transition mechanism for selecting a benchmark replacement rate for LIBOR. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the credit facility, Services is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the credit facility for unused commitments. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.30% to 0.45% per annum depending on Services’ First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

Debt Covenants

The credit facility requires Services to comply with a quarterly maximum consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test and minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio as follows:

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio - The Loan Parties shall not permit the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of any four consecutive fiscal quarter period ending on the last day of a fiscal quarter to be less than 1.20:1.00.

First Lien Net Leverage Ratio – The Loan Parties will not permit the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of any four consecutive fiscal quarter period ending on the last day of a fiscal quarter to exceed 1.75:1.00 (subject to certain increases for permitted acquisitions).

14


In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit Services’ ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries, including the Company, to incur indebtedness or guarantee debt; incur liens; make investments, loans and acquisitions; merge, liquidate or dissolve; sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; pay dividends on its capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire its capital stock; amend, prepay, redeem or purchase subordinated debt; and engage in transactions with affiliates.

As of June 30, 2022, management believed the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

    In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that provide financing for its machinery and equipment, facility and vehicle needs. The Company reviews these agreements for potential lease classification, and at inception, determines whether a lease is an operating or finance lease. Lease assets and liabilities, which generally represent the present value of future minimum lease payments over the term of the lease, are recognized as of the commencement date. Under ASC Topic 842, Leases, leases with an initial lease term of twelve months or less are classified as short-term leases and are not recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets unless they contain a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised.
    Lease term, discount rate, variable lease costs and future minimum lease payment determinations require the use of judgment as these are based on the facts and circumstances related to each specific lease. Lease terms are generally based on their initial non-cancelable terms, unless there is a renewal option that is reasonably certain to be exercised. Various factors, including economic incentives, intent, past history and business need are considered to determine if a renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The implicit rate in a lease agreement is used when it can be determined. Otherwise, the Company's incremental borrowing rate, which is based on information available as of the lease commencement date, including applicable lease terms and the current economic environment, is used to determine the value of the lease obligation.
Finance Leases
    
    The Company has obligations, exclusive of associated interest, recognized under various finance leases for equipment totaling $69.1 million and $54.4 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Gross amounts recognized within property, plant and equipment in the condensed consolidated balance sheets under these finance lease agreements at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, totaled $170.9 million and $143.6 million, less accumulated depreciation of $83.3 million and $71.4 million, respectively, for net balances of $87.6 million and $72.2 million, respectively. Depreciation expense for assets held under the finance leases is included in cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

    In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into non-cancelable operating leases for certain of its facilities, vehicles and equipment. The Company has obligations, exclusive of associated interest, totaling $34.8 million and $38.8 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The assets related to these operating lease agreements at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, totaled $33.3 million and $37.3 million, respectively.

    The Company has long-term power-by-the-hour equipment rental agreements with a construction equipment manufacturer that have a guaranteed minimum monthly hour requirement. The minimum guaranteed amount based on the Company's current operations is $5.8 million per year. Total expense under these agreements are listed in the following table as variable lease costs.

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

    In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be required to post letters of credit and surety bonds to customers in support of performance under certain contracts. Such letters of credit are generally issued by a bank or similar financial institution. The letter of credit or surety bond commits the issuer to pay specified amounts to the holder of the letter of credit or surety bond under certain conditions. If the letter of credit or surety bond issuer were required to pay any amount to a holder, the Company would be required to reimburse the issuer, which, depending upon the circumstances, could result in a charge to earnings. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company was contingently liable under letters of credit issued under its credit facility in the amount of $24.2 million and $31.1 million, respectively, related to projects and insurance. In addition, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding surety bonds on projects with nominal amounts of $4.0 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. The remaining approximate exposure related to these surety bonds amounted to $999.8 million and $353.5 million, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a nominal defendant to a lawsuit, instituted in December 2019 in the Delaware Chancery Court by a purported stockholder of the Company, against the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board"), Oaktree Capital Management ("Oaktree"), and Ares Management, LLC ("Ares"), from which Ares was subsequently dismissed. The complaint asserts a variety of claims arising out of the sale of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to Ares and Oaktree in May 2019. The complaint alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty directly on behalf of putative class of stockholders and derivatively on behalf of the Company, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty both derivatively and directly, and unjust enrichment derivatively on behalf of the Company. The plaintiff is seeking rescission of the transaction, unspecified monetary damages, and fees. On July 28, 2021, the Company and the plaintiff stockholder entered into a memorandum of understanding to settle the lawsuit against all defendants, subject to approval by the Delaware Chancery Court, the terms of which do not require payment of any settlement funds to the plaintiff except that, as they are entitled to do under Delaware law, the plaintiffs are entitled to ask the Court to award them attorneys’ fees in connection with the settlement. The timing of the approval of the settlement, if any, by the Court is unknown at this time but is not expected to occur until later in 2022. The Company has placed its director and officer liability insurance carriers on notice of the lawsuit and the proposed settlement; pursuant to the coverage terms, the Company is subject to a $1.5 million deductible, which the Company has exhausted. Pursuant to agreements entered
17


into in connection with the sale of Series B Preferred Stock, the Company is obligated to indemnify Oaktree and Ares for any legal fees and damages incurred by either of them in connection with this matter.

The Company is involved in a variety of other legal cases, claims and other disputes that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. While the Company believes it has good defense against these cases and intends to defend them vigorously, it cannot provide assurance that it will be successful in recovering all or any of the potential damages it has claimed or in successfully defending claims against the Company. While the lawsuits and claims are asserted for amounts that may be material, should an unfavorable outcome occur, management does not currently expect that any currently pending matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, although there can be no certainty that this will be the case.

Note 8. Earnings Per Share

    The Company calculates earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

    Income (loss) available to common stockholders is computed by deducting the dividends accrued for the period on cumulative preferred stock from net income and net income allocated to participating securities. If there is a net loss, the amount of the loss is increased by those preferred dividends. All Series B Preferred Stock was redeemed in August 2021.

    Diluted EPS, where applicable, assumes the dilutive effect of (i) Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method, (ii) publicly traded warrants, (iii) Series B Preferred Stock - Warrants and (iv) the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options and the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units ("RSUs"), using the treasury stock method.

    Whether the Company has net income, or a net loss determines whether potential issuances of common stock are included in the diluted EPS computation or whether they would be anti-dilutive. As a result, if there is a net loss or the Company has net income but its preferred dividend adjustment results in a net loss available to common stockholders, diluted EPS would be computed the same as basic EPS.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has repurchased 11,616,483 warrants. The Merger Agreement, see Note 13. Subsequent Events, prevents future repurchases of warrants.

Stock Compensation
    
    Under ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award).

    The fair value of RSUs is based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant. Stock compensation expense for RSUs is amortized using the straight-line method over the service period. For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $1.8 million and $1.9 million in compensation expense, respectively, and $3.4 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.


Note 9. Income Taxes

    The Company’s statutory federal tax rate was 21.0% for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. State tax rates for the same period vary among states and range from approximately 0.8% to 11.5%. A small number of states do not impose an income tax.

    The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 27.8% and 47.0%, respectively, and were 32.6% and (12.7)% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate primarily results from permanent differences related to the interest accrued for the Series B Preferred Stock and executive compensation, which are not deductible for federal and state income tax purposes. There were no changes in uncertain tax positions during the periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.


20



The Company made use of the payroll tax deferral provision of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") to defer the 6.2% social security tax. The remaining amount required to be paid by December 31, 2022 is $7.0 million.

Note 10. Segments

    The Company operates its business as two reportable segments: the Renewables segment and the Specialty Civil segment. Each of the Company's reportable segments is comprised of similar business units that specialize in services unique to their respective markets. The classification of revenue and gross profit for segment reporting purposes can at times require judgment on the part of management. The Company's segments may perform services across industries or perform joint services for customers in multiple industries. To determine reportable segment gross profit, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, such as facility costs, equipment costs and indirect operating expenses, were made based on segment revenue.

    Separate measures of the Company’s financial results, including capital expenditures and cash flows by reportable segment, are not produced or utilized by management to evaluate segment performance. A substantial portion of the Company’s fixed assets are owned by and accounted for in its equipment department, including operating machinery, equipment and vehicles, as well as office equipment, buildings and leasehold improvements, and are used on an interchangeable basis across the Company's reportable segments. As such, for reporting purposes, total under/over absorption of equipment expenses consisting primarily of depreciation is allocated to the Company's two reportable segments based on segment revenue.
    
The following are brief descriptions of the Company's reportable segments, each of which operates throughout the U.S.:

Renewables Segment

    The Renewables segment specializes in a range of services for the power delivery, solar, wind and battery storage markets that includes design, procurement, construction, restoration, and maintenance.

Specialty Civil Segment

    The Specialty Civil segment specializes in a range of services that include:

Heavy civil construction services such as road and bridge construction, specialty paving, sports field development, industrial maintenance, outsourced contract mining and heavy hauling.

Environmental remediation services such as site development, environmental site closure, and coal ash management.
Rail infrastructure services such as planning, design, procurement, construction and maintenance of major railway and intermodal facilities.

Overview

    We are a leading diversified infrastructure construction company with specialized energy and heavy civil expertise throughout the United States. We specialize in providing complete engineering, procurement and construction services throughout the United States for the renewable energy, traditional power and civil infrastructure industries. These services include the design, site development, construction, installation and restoration of infrastructure. We have completed more than 260 wind and solar projects in 42 states and construct one of every five gigawatts put in to place throughout the U.S. in any given year. We have historically focused on the renewable industry, and have recently focused on further expansion into the solar market and on expanding its construction capabilities and geographic footprint in the areas of environmental remediation, industrial maintenance, specialty paving, heavy civil and rail infrastructure construction, creating a diverse national platform of specialty construction capabilities. We believe we have the ability to continue to expand these services because we are well-positioned to leverage our expertise and relationships in the wind energy business to provide complete infrastructure solutions.

    We have two reportable segments: the Renewables ("Renewables") segment and the Heavy Civil and Industrial ("Specialty Civil") segment. See Segment Results for a description of the reportable segments and their operations.

Proposed Merger with MasTec, Inc.

On July 24, 2022, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with MasTec, Inc. (“MasTec”), a leading infrastructure construction company operating mainly throughout North America across a range of industries, and Indigo Acquisition I Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of MasTec (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of MasTec (the “Merger”). Each share of our common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be cancelled and converted in the Merger into the right to receive (i) 0.0483 of a share of MasTec common stock and (ii) $10.50 in cash.

The Merger is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions, including: (i) approval by our stockholders; (ii) the absence of any restraining order, injunction, judgment, order or decree or other law prohibiting consummation of the Merger; (iii) expiration or termination of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino Act waiting period; (iv) the approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the MasTec common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger; (v) effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by MasTec pursuant to which the issuance of such shares of MasTec common stock will be registered under the Securities Act; and (vi) other customary closing conditions. We cannot predict with certainty whether and when any of the required closing conditions will be satisfied or if the Merger will close.

The Merger Agreement contains termination rights for the Company and MasTec, including a right for either party to terminate if the Merger is not consummated by July 24, 2023 (or as extended in accordance with the Merger Agreement). Upon the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including if our Board of Directors changes or withdraws its recommendation of the Merger to stockholders or terminates the Merger Agreement to enter into an agreement with respect to a superior acquisition proposal, we would be required to pay MasTec a termination fee of $27.5 million.

See Results of Operations for further discussion on changes in operating results and backlog.

Business Trends

We believe there are long-term growth opportunities across the industries in which we operate, and we continue to have a positive long-term outlook. We believe that with our full-service operations, broad geographic reach, financial position and technical expertise, we are well positioned to mitigate the risks and challenges in our industries while continuing to capitalize on opportunities and trends.

Inflationary Market Pressures. We are experiencing the general impact of inflationary market pressures in our supply chain and labor markets. We continue to see pressures on non-union labor costs, as the inflationary environment, coupled with the general labor shortage, has created highly competitive markets for talent and opportunities for regular wage inflation. We continue to operate with disciplined hiring practices, but we believe our labor costs will continue to increase given our demand for labor in this environment. We are also experiencing difficulties in securing pricing or the availability of certain supplies and raw materials, as sometimes unpredictable supply chain market price escalations are impacting our subcontractors and suppliers. Our contracting practices require us to lock in pricing with subcontractors and suppliers at the time we sign a project contract, which mitigates some of these inflationary risks. However, the current market pressures are, at times, making it untenable for our suppliers and subcontractors to locate materials or honor contracted pricing without undue hardship and we believe this trend is likely to continue for so long as markets continue to experience current levels of inflation. And, while opportunities to bid on new projects and work are at some of the highest levels we’ve seen in several years, we believe inflationary market pressures may impact our ability to secure backlog in the near term. Particularly in our Specialty Civil segment, we continue to see projects on which we have submitted competitive bids being left unawarded, as all submitted bids have exceeded allowable budgets due to the inflationary pressures on materials and labor. Additionally, continued inflation may result in tightening of the credit markets, making access to funding, bonding, letters of credit or sureties more difficult, any of which could adversely impact our profitability and cash flow.

Labor Shortage. We continue to address the longer-term need for additional labor resources in our markets, as our customers continue to seek additional specialized labor resources to address an aging workforce and longer-term labor availability issues, increasing pressure to reduce costs and improve reliability, and increasing duration and complexity of their capital programs. We believe these trends will continue, possibly to such a degree that demand for labor resources will outpace supply. Furthermore, the cyclical nature of the Renewables and, to a certain extent, parts of our Specialty Civil segment, can create shortages of qualified labor in those markets during periods of high demand. Our ability to capitalize on available opportunities is limited by our ability to employ, train and retain the necessary skilled personnel, and therefore we are taking proactive steps to develop our workforce, including through strategic relationships with universities, the military and unions and the expansion and development of our training facility and postsecondary educational programs. Although we believe these initiatives will help address workforce needs, meeting our customers’ demand for labor resources could remain challenging.

Additionally, as noted above, we believe that labor costs will continue to increase given the recent escalated inflationary environment in the United States. Our labor costs are typically passed through in our contracts and the portion of our workforce that is represented by labor unions typically operates under multi-year collective bargaining agreements, which provides some visibility into future labor costs. We continue to monitor our labor markets and do not currently believe this
26


environment will present a material risk to our profitability, as we presently expect to be able to adjust contract pricing with customers to the extent wages and other labor costs increase, whether due to renegotiation of collective bargaining agreements or market conditions. However, the current inflationary pressures on labor costs could result in our inability to adjust contract pricing to keep up with current upward inflationary trends and could impact our profitability.

Supply Chain Disruption. We are experiencing supply chain disruptions in our end markets related to the following factors:

Labor shortages at suppliers have increased delays of the production of certain materials, including but not limited to machinery, tools, copper, reinforced steel, solar panels and other items;
As mentioned previously, inflationary pressures have made it difficult for suppliers to commit to contracted pricing or obtain materials at commercially reasonable prices;
Shipping costs have increased significantly due to higher demand for products but fewer delivery options due to a reduction of truck drivers and rail cars;
Delayed sequencing in our projects related to the inability to determine specific delivery dates for key materials;
Cost increases for tax, tariffs and border controls for materials entering the U.S. from other countries;
Delayed shipments of goods or of materials requiring parts sourced from European countries impacted by the effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine;
Potential bans or delays of imports of certain goods from suppliers having significant operations in Russia, whether as a result of a supplier’s operational decision or of sanctions imposed on Russia or operations backed by the Russian state;
Delayed shipments and potential cost increases resulting from the U.S. Department of Commerce anti-dumping circumvention investigation announced in March 2022 of solar cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam; and
Bans on imports of certain goods from China, particularly of polysilicon covered by the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which is a significant input in the production of solar panels. These bans could result in project delays and increased costs to us or our customers.

These factors differ in their severity and impact on us and continue to evolve, and we believe their severity and impact on us may not be stable and could continue to fluctuate.

We continue to monitor these supply chain disruptions and other logistical challenges, global trade relationships (e.g., tariffs, sourcing restrictions) and other general market and political conditions (e.g., inflation, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, international sanctions) with respect to availability and costs of certain materials and equipment necessary for the performance of our business and for materials necessary for our customers’ projects. For example, in the renewable energy market, we are experiencing supply chain challenges, resulting in delays and shortages of, and increased costs for, materials necessary for the construction of certain renewable energy projects in the near term, including as a result of sourcing restrictions related to solar panels manufactured in China and other locations in Southeast Asia. While we believe many of our renewable energy customers may be able to manage near-term supply chain disruptions better than their smaller competitors, these challenges could delay our customers’ ongoing projects or impact their future project schedules, which in turn could impact the timing of our projects. While these delays are not anticipated to result in exposure to liquidated damages or commodity risks, such delays could cause our customers to cancel or delay projects, as higher than expected costs impact their project profitability projections and that could adversely impact our profitability and cash flow.

Regulatory Challenges. The regulatory environment creates both challenges and opportunities for our business, and in recent years heavy civil and rail construction have been impacted by regulatory and permitting delays in certain periods, particularly with respect to regulatory and environmental permitting. Permitting processes continue to create uncertainty for projects and negatively impact customer spending, and delays have increased as the COVID-19 pandemic and labor shortages have impacted regulatory agency operations. Additionally, in our Renewables segment, changes in certain states' environmental regulations and permitting processes have created delays and uncertainty for certain projects.

We are also experiencing disruptions, and anticipate continuing to experience disruptions into next year, relating to a recently announced US Department of Commerce investigation of solar panels imported from Chinese companies in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The investigation stems from allegations that solar cells and modules from these countries are circumventing previously imposed antidumping and countervailing duty orders on solar cells and modules from China.

27


While the Department has announced that preliminary findings of the investigation are expected in August 2022, it has also signaled that it may not issue its final decision until the middle of 2023. The Department’s conclusion could result in retroactive duties for our customers back to November 2021. While any retroactive duties are not expected to directly impact our profitability, the cost and timing uncertainty of this decision could impact our customers’ project profitability projections, which may delay or cancel certain projects, thus potentially adversely impacting our profitability and cash flow.
However, we believe that there are also several existing, pending or proposed legislative or regulatory actions that may alleviate certain regulatory and permitting issues and positively impact long-term demand, particularly in connection with infrastructure and renewable energy spending.

On June 6th, 2022, President Joe Biden announced two executive actions to boost the U.S. solar installation and manufacturing industries. The first was a Declaration of Emergency to address a shortage of solar panels in the country, which had derailed several gigawatts of planned utility-scale solar projects. The second was an invocation of the Defense Production Act to increase domestic manufacturing of solar panels and other clean energy technologies.

The Biden Administration hopes the two actions will increase U.S. solar manufacturing capacity by 200% over current levels and result in as much as 100 gigawatts of additional solar generation capability over 10 years than if executive measures weren’t taken.

regulatory changes affecting siting and right-of-way processes could potentially accelerate construction for transmission projects, and state and federal reliability standards are creating incentives for system investment and maintenance.

Additionally, as described above, we consider renewable energy, including solar and wind generation facilities, to be an ongoing opportunity; however, policy and economic incentives designed to support and encourage such projects can create variability of project timing.

For further discussion of these risks, see Item 1A. Risk Factors disclosed in the Annual Report.

Segment Opportunities

Renewables Segment

We have maintained a heavy focus on construction of renewable power production capacity as renewable energy, particularly from wind and solar, has become widely accepted within the electric utility industry and a cost-effective solution for the creation of new generating capacity. We believe that these shifts, coupled with the factors noted below, will continue to drive opportunity in this segment over the long-term:

Renewable energy power generation has reached a level of scale and maturity that permits these technologies to now be cost-effective competitors to more traditional power generation technologies, including on an unsubsidized basis. The most significant changes have been related to increased turbine sizes and better battery storage methods.

Over 40 states and the District of Colombia have adopted renewable portfolio standards for clean energy     that require a specified percentage of the electricity that utilities sell come from renewable resources.

On June 29, 2021, the Internal Revenue Service issued a notice that provides that projects that began construction in 2016-2019 have six years, and projects that began construction in 2020 have five years, from the date construction began to be placed-in-service in order to qualify for the production tax credits ("PTC") or investment tax credits ("ITC") that were in effect when construction began. This new rule effectively extends the amount of time that many projects will be eligible for PTC to 2025.

As a result, wind and solar power are among the leading sources of new power generation capacity in the U.S., and the Company does not anticipate this trend to change in the near future, as we are continuing to see growth through new awards in our backlog as indicated in the following table:

(2) Backlog may differ from the transaction prices allocated to the remaining performance obligations as disclosed in Note 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Such differences relate to the timing of executing a formal contract or receiving a notice to proceed. More specifically, backlog sometimes may include awards for which a contract has not yet been executed or a notice to proceed has not been issued, but for which there are no remaining major uncertainties that the project will proceed (e.g., adequate funding is in place).


Specialty Civil Segment

We believe that our business relationships with customers in these sectors are excellent and the strong reputation that we have built has provided us with the right foundation to continue to grow our revenue base. We believe that the drivers to further growing this segment include:

The FMI 2022 Overview Report, published in the first quarter of 2022, projects that nonresidential construction in the U.S. will be over $500 billion per year from 2022 to 2025.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will provide $1.2 trillion of federal spending for infrastructure and other investments, including $550 billion of new spending over the next five years. This bill includes provision for spending in the following areas:

Environmental remediation: $21.0 billion
Roads and bridges: $110.0 billion
Passenger and freight rail: $66.0 billion

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") has continued to take action on controlling and cleaning up the contamination of coal ash disposal. In January 2022, the EPA announced that it planned to finalize a federal permitting program for the disposal of coal ash and to establish regulations for legacy coal ash surface impoundment. We believe additional regulations could contribute to a slower market as our customers develop strategies on how to comply with any new guidance put forth by the EPA.

Additionally, there is significant overlap in labor, skills and equipment needs between our Renewables segment and our Specialty Civil segment, which we expect will continue to provide us with operating efficiencies as we continue to expand in this sector. The Company continues to cross leverage these two segments and continues to see future growth through new awards in our backlog as indicated in the following table:

backlog sometimes may include awards for which a contract has not yet been executed or a notice to proceed has not been issued, but for which there are no remaining major uncertainties that the project will proceed (e.g., adequate funding is in place).

Backlog

    Estimated backlog represents the amount of revenue we expect to realize in 2022 and beyond from the uncompleted portions of existing construction contracts, including new contracts under which work has not begun and awarded contracts for which the definitive project documentation is being prepared, as well as revenue from change orders and renewal options. Estimated backlog for work under fixed price contracts and cost-reimbursable contracts is determined based on historical trends, anticipated seasonal impacts, experience from similar projects and estimates of customer demand based on communications with our customers. Cost-reimbursable contracts are included in backlog based on the estimated total contract price upon completion.

The following table summarizes our backlog by segment as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

(in millions)
SegmentsJune 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Renewables$2,404.4 $2,034.8 
Specialty Civil1,105.8 881.3 
  Total$3,510.2 $2,916.1 
    
The Company expects to recognize 64.0% of revenue related to its backlog in the next twelve months.

Based on historical trends in the Company’s backlog, we believe awarded contracts to be firm and that the revenue for such contracts will be recognized over the life of the applicable projects. Timing of revenue for construction and installation projects included in our backlog can be subject to change as a result of customer delays, regulatory factors, the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain or labor disruptions, weather and/or other project-related factors. These changes could cause estimated revenue to be realized in periods later than originally expected, or not at all. In the past, we have occasionally experienced postponements, cancellations and reductions on construction projects due to market volatility and regulatory factors, and we are currently experiencing some regulatory, supply chain and labor market delays and shortages that may result in delays in the estimated completion dates of some projects currently in our backlog. There can be no assurance as to our customers’ requirements or the accuracy of our estimates. As a result, our backlog as of any particular date is an uncertain indicator of future revenue and earnings and may not result in actual revenue or profits.

    Backlog is not a term recognized under GAAP, although it is a common measurement used in our industry. Our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by others. See Item 1A. Risk Factors’ in our Annual Report for a discussion of the risks associated with our backlog.

Significant Factors Impacting Results

In addition to those factors described in Results of Operations, Business Trends and Forward-Looking Statements, our revenues, margins and other results of operations can be influenced by a variety of factors in any given period, and those factors have caused fluctuations in our results in the past and are expected to cause fluctuations in the future. Additional information with respect to certain of those factors is provided below.

Seasonality. Typically, our revenues, particularly for our Renewables segment, are lowest in the first quarter of the year because cold, snowy or wet conditions can create challenging working environments that are more costly for our customers or cause delays on projects. In addition, infrastructure projects often do not begin in a meaningful way until our customers finalize their capital budgets, which typically occurs during the first quarter. Second quarter revenues are typically higher than those in the first quarter, as some projects begin, but continued cold and wet weather can often impact productivity. Third quarter revenues are typically the highest of the year, as a greater number of projects are underway and operating conditions, including weather, are normally more accommodating. Generally, revenues during the fourth quarter are lower than the third quarter but higher than the second quarter, as many projects are completed and customers often seek to spend their capital budgets before year end. However, the holiday season and inclement weather can sometimes cause delays during the fourth quarter, reducing revenues and increasing costs.

30


Our revenue and results of operations for our Specialty Civil segment are also affected by seasonality but to a lesser extent as projects in this segment are more geographically diverse and located in areas that are less impacted by severe weather. While the first quarter revenues are typically lower than the third and fourth quarters, the geographical diversity has allowed this segment to be less seasonal over the course of the year.

Weather and natural disasters. The results of our business in a given period can be impacted by adverse weather conditions, severe weather events or natural disasters, which include, among other things, heavy or prolonged snowfall or rainfall, hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, floods, blizzards, extreme temperatures, wildfires, and earthquakes, and which may be exacerbated by climate change. These conditions and events, as well as other factors beyond our control, such as pandemics, can negatively impact our financial results due to the termination, deferral or delay of projects, reduced productivity and exposure to significant liabilities.

Cyclical demand. Fluctuations in end-user demand within the industries we serve, or in the supply of services within those industries, can impact demand for our services. As a result, our business may be adversely affected by industry declines or by delays in new projects. Variations in project schedules or unanticipated changes in project schedules, in particular, in connection with large construction and installation projects, can create fluctuations in revenue, which may adversely affect us in a given period. In addition, revenue from master service agreements, while generally predictable, can be subject to volatility. The financial condition of our customers and their access to capital, variations in project margins, regional, national and global economic, political and market conditions, regulatory or environmental influences, and acquisitions, dispositions or strategic investments can also materially affect quarterly results. Accordingly, our operating results in any particular period may not be indicative of the results that can be expected for any other period.

Revenue mix. The mix of revenues based on the types of services we provide in a given period will impact margins, as certain industries and services provide higher-margin opportunities. Revenue derived from projects billed on a fixed-price basis totaled 81.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue derived from projects billed on a unit price basis totaled 18.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue and related costs for construction contracts billed on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are rendered. Revenue derived from projects billed on a time and materials basis totaled 0.5% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Size, scope and complexity of projects. Larger or more complex projects with design or construction complexities, more difficult terrain requirements or longer distance requirements typically yield opportunities for higher margins as we assume a greater degree of performance risk and there is greater utilization of our resources for longer construction timeframes. In contrast, smaller or less complex projects typically have a greater number of companies competing for them, and competitors at times may more aggressively pursue available work. A greater percentage of smaller scale or less complex work also could negatively impact margins due to the inefficiency of transitioning between a larger number of smaller projects versus continuous production on fewer larger projects. Also, at times we may choose to maintain a portion of our workforce and equipment in an underutilized capacity to ensure we are strategically positioned to deliver on larger projects when they move forward.

Project variability and performance. Margins for a single project may fluctuate from period to period due to changes in the volume or type of work performed, the pricing structure under the project contract or job productivity. Additionally, our productivity and performance on a project can vary from period to period based on a number of factors, including unexpected project difficulties or site conditions; project location, including locations with challenging operating conditions; whether the work is on an open or encumbered right of way; inclement weather or severe weather events; environmental restrictions or regulatory delays; protests, other political activity or legal challenges related to a project; and the performance of third parties.

Subcontract work and provision of materials. Work that is subcontracted to other service providers generally yields lower margins, and therefore an increase in subcontract work in a given period can decrease margins. Our customers are usually responsible for supplying the materials for their projects; however, under some contracts we agree to procure all or part of the required materials. Margins may be lower on projects where we furnish a significant amount of materials, including projects where we provide engineering, procurement and construction services, as our markup on materials is generally lower than our markup on labor costs. Furthermore, fluctuations in the price of materials we procure, including as a result of changes in U.S. or global trade relationships or other economic or political conditions, may impact our margins.

For a detailed discussion of revenue and gross profit, see Segment Results below.

Revenue. Revenue increased 21.5%, or $120.4 million, in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased 15.1%, or $8.1 million, in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 9.0% in the quarter, as compared to 9.5% in the prior-year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 15.7%, or $4.9 million, in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 5.3% of revenue in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to 5.5% in the same period in 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by the following factors:

Employee expenses increased $3.2 million related to increases in the number of employees;
Information technology costs of $1.0 million related to software licensing; and
Business travel costs increased $0.5 million.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net decreased by $7.6 million, in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. This decrease was driven by the redemption of Series B Preferred Stock in 2021, offset by the interest expense related to our Senior Unsecured Notes in 2022.

Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net, which includes warrant liability fair value adjustment and other income (expense), increased by $3.8 million to income of $4.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to income of $0.8 million for the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily the result of the fair value adjustments recorded for the Series B Preferred Stock - Anti-dilution warrants and private warrants.

See further discussion in Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes increased $2.4 million to $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2021. The effective tax rates for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 27.8% and 47.0%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily attributable to the elimination of permanent differences related to the interest accrued for the Series B Preferred Stock, which was redeemed in 2021. There were no changes in uncertain tax positions during the periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Segment Results

The Company operates our business as two reportable segments: the Renewables segment and the Specialty Civil segment. Each of our reportable segments is comprised of similar business units that specialize in services unique to the respective markets that each segment serves. The classification of revenue and gross profit for segment reporting purposes can at times require judgment on the part of management. Our segments may perform services across industries or perform joint services for customers in multiple industries. To determine reportable segment gross profit, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, such as facility costs, equipment costs and indirect operating expenses, were made based on segment revenue.

The following table sets forth segment revenues and gross profit for the years indicated:

Renewables Segment Results

Revenue. Renewables revenue was $502.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $424.9 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of 18.3%, or $77.8 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to:

An increase in solar revenue of $136.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the same period for 2021; offset by
A decrease in wind revenue of $62.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 resulting from a smaller number of active projects when compared to the same period in 2021.

Gross profit. Renewables gross profit was $44.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $42.9 million for 2021, an increase of 4.5%, or $1.9 million. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 8.9% in 2022, as compared to 10.1% in 2021. The decrease in percentage was primarily attributable to the following factors:

The decrease was driven primarily by the inflationary impact of labor, supply chain, fuel, and certain commodities costs. During the quarter, we recognized these inflationary increases to our estimated costs to complete for the impacted wind and solar jobs. For projects for which we could not increase the value of the contract, these increases reduced their projected margin. In addition, for projects that were in progress at the start of the quarter, the increased costs caused the percentage of completion of the relevant projects to be reduced, which required the reversal of a portion of revenue and margin that had previously been recognized on an over-time basis during 2021.
To a lesser extent, the decrease was also driven by increased man hours which is driving up our accruals for warranty and insurance.



33


Specialty Civil Segment Results

Revenue. Specialty Civil revenue was $177.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $135.3 million for 2021, an increase of 31.5%, or $42.6 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the following factors:

Continued growth in the environmental remediation market and the Company having more projects under construction compared to the prior year; and
Continued modest but steady growth in the heavy civil construction market and our leverage of shared resources to more effectively bid and execute projects.

These revenue increases were offset by revenue decreases in the rail market, which has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the reduction of spending budgets of some of our customers, which has led to delays on portions of our large rail jobs.

Gross profit. Specialty Civil gross profit was $16.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $10.6 million for 2021, an increase of 58.2%, or $6.2 million. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 9.4% in 2022, as compared to 7.8% in 2021. The increase in percentage and dollars was primarily due to growth in the environmental remediation market and the project mix compared to the same period in 2021.

For a detailed discussion of revenue and gross profit, see Segment Results below.

Revenue. Revenue increased 24.4%, or $204.1 million, in the first six months of 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.

Gross profit. Gross profit decreased 6.6%, or $4.6 million, in the first six months of 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 6.3% in 2022, as compared to 8.4% in the prior-year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 26.7%, or $14.9 million, in the first six months of 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 6.8% of revenue in the first six months of 2022, as compared to 6.7% in the same period in 2021. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by the following factors:

Employee expenses increased $9.3 million related to increases in the number of employees;
34


Information technology costs of $2.7 million related to software licensing and new technology for higher employee base; and
Business travel costs increased $2.3 million.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net decreased by $16.0 million, in the first six months of 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. This decrease was driven by the redemption of Series B Preferred Stock, offset by the interest expense related to our Senior Unsecured Notes.

Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net, which includes warrant liability fair value adjustment and other income, increased by $2.6 million to income of $3.2 million in the first six months of 2022, as compared to income of $0.6 million for the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily the result of the fair value adjustments recorded for the Series B Preferred Stock - Anti-dilution warrants and private warrants.

See further discussion in Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

(Provision) benefit for income taxes. Benefit for income taxes increased $6.7 million to $4.9 million in the first six months of 2022, as compared to a provision of $1.8 million for the same period in 2021. The effective tax rates for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 32.6% and (12.7)%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in the first six months of 2022 was primarily attributable to the elimination of permanent differences related to the interest accrued for the Series B Preferred Stock, which was redeemed in 2021. There were no changes in uncertain tax positions during the periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Renewables Segment Results

Revenue. Renewables revenue was $746.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $605.2 million for the same period in 2021, an increase of 23.3%, or $141.1 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to:

35


An increase in solar revenue of $228.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the same period for 2021; offset by
A decrease in wind revenue of $93.0 million in the first six months of 2022 resulting from a smaller number of active projects, as compared to the same period in 2021.

Gross profit. Renewables gross profit was $46.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $55.1 million for 2021, a decrease of 16.3%, or $9.0 million. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 6.2% in 2022, as compared to 9.1% in 2021. The decrease in percentage and dollars was primarily attributable to the following factors:

The decrease was driven primarily by the inflationary impact of labor, supply chain, fuel, and certain commodities costs. During the first six months of 2022, we recognized these inflationary increases to our estimated costs to complete for the impacted wind and solar jobs. For projects for which we could not increase the value of the contract, these increases reduced their projected margin. In addition, for projects that were in progress at the start of the period, the increased costs caused the percentage of completion of the relevant projects to be reduced, which required the reversal of a portion of revenue and margin that had previously been recognized on an over-time basis during 2021.
To a lesser extent, the decrease was also driven by increased training costs during the first six months, as we continue to increase our labor force to execute our remaining backlog.

Specialty Civil Segment Results

Revenue. Specialty Civil revenue was $294.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $231.3 million for 2021, an increase of 27.3%, or $63.0 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to the following factors:

Continued growth in the environmental remediation market and the Company having more projects under construction compared to the prior year; and
Continued modest but steady growth in the heavy civil construction market and our leverage of shared resources to more effectively bid and execute projects.

These revenue increases were offset by revenue decreases in the rail market, which has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the reduction of spending budgets of some of our customers, which has led to delays on portions of our large rail jobs.

Gross profit. Specialty Civil gross profit was $19.3 million for the six months June 30, 2022, as compared to $15.0 million for 2021, an increase of 29.0%, or $4.3 million. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 6.6% in 2022, as compared to 6.5% in 2021. The increase in percentage and dollars was primarily due to growth in the environmental remediation market and the project mix compared to the same period in 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

    Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, our cash balances and availability under our new Credit Agreement (as defined in Debt – Credit Agreement below). Our primary liquidity needs are for working capital, debt service, income taxes, capital expenditures, insurance collateral, and strategic acquisitions. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $46.5 million in cash and $95.8 million availability under our Credit Agreement.

We anticipate that our existing cash balances, funds generated from operations, and borrowings will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the next twelve months and in the longer term. No assurance can be given, however, that these sources will be sufficient, because there are many factors that could affect our liquidity, including some that are beyond our control. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I of our Annual Report for a discussion of the risks associated with our liquidity.

Working Capital

    We require working capital to support seasonal variations in our business, primarily due to the effect of weather conditions on external construction and maintenance work and the spending patterns of our customers, both of which influence the timing of associated spending to support related customer demand. Our business is typically slower in the first quarter of each calendar year. Working capital needs are generally lower during the spring when projects are awarded and we receive down payments from customers. Conversely, working capital needs generally increase during the summer or fall months due to
36


increased demand for our services when favorable weather conditions exist in many of the regions in which we operate. Working capital needs are typically lower and working capital is converted to cash during the winter months. These seasonal trends, however, can be offset by changes in the timing of projects, which can be affected by project delays or accelerations and/or other factors that may affect customer spending.

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $79.2 million, as compared to $11.4 million over the same period in 2021. The increase in net cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to an increased volume of work compared to prior year which has caused changes in working capital related to the timing of receipts from customers and payments to vendors in the ordinary course of business. The change was primarily attributable to lower collections of accounts receivable and contract assets, partially offset by lower payments on payables and accrued liabilities due to the timing of projects.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $5.4 million, as compared to $13.6 million over the same period in 2021. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to a decrease in purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $7.0 million, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $21.4 million over the same period in 2021. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to the net proceeds from borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility.

Capital Expenditures

    For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred $14.6 million in finance lease payments and an additional $8.5 million in cash purchases for equipment. We estimate that we will spend approximately 2% to 3% of revenue for capital expenditures for the entirety of 2022. Actual capital expenditures may increase or decrease in the future depending upon business activity levels, as well as ongoing assessments of equipment lease versus buy decisions based on short- and long-term equipment requirements.

Debt

Senior Unsecured Notes

On August 17, 2021, IEA Energy Services LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Services"), issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the "Senior Unsecured Notes"), in a private placement. Interest is payable on the Senior Unsecured Notes on each February 15 and August 15. The Senior Unsecured Notes will mature on August 15, 2029. The Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain of its domestic wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Guarantors").

37



On or after August 15, 2024, the Senior Unsecured Notes are subject to redemption at any time and from time to time at the option of Services, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 15 of the years indicated below:
YearPercentage
2024103.3 %
2025101.7 %
2026 and thereafter100.0 %

Prior to August 15, 2024, Services may also redeem some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes at the principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes, plus a "make-whole premium," together with accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time prior to August 15, 2024, Services may redeem up to 40.0% of the original principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 106.63% of the principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest.

In connection with the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes, Services entered into an indenture (the "Indenture") with the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, providing for the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes. The terms of the Indenture provides for, among other things, negative covenants that under certain circumstances would limit Services’ ability to incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends or make other restricted payments; make loans and investments; incur liens; sell assets; enter into affiliate transactions; enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions; enter into agreements restricting Services' subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends; and merge, consolidate or amalgamate or sell all or substantially all of its property, subject to certain thresholds and exceptions. The Indenture provides for customary events of default that include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others, nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of other covenants or agreements in the Indenture; failure to pay certain other indebtedness; failure to pay certain final judgments; failure of certain guarantees to be enforceable; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.

Credit Agreement

On August 17, 2021, Services, as the borrower, and certain guarantors (including the Company), entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders and CIBC Bank USA in its capacities as the Administrative and Collateral Agent for the lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company (the "Credit Agreement Guarantors" and together with Services, the "Loan Parties") and is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Loan Parties’ personal property and assets. Services has the ability to increase available borrowing under the credit facility by an additional amount up to $50.0 million subject to certain conditions. As of June 30, 2022, $30.0 million was outstanding under the senior secured revolving credit facility, bearing an interest rate of 6.25%.

Services may voluntarily repay and reborrow outstanding loans under the credit facility at any time subject to usual and customary breakage costs for borrowings bearing interest based on LIBOR and minimum amount requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement. The credit facility includes $100.0 million in borrowing capacity for the issuance of letters of credit. The credit facility is not subject to amortization and matures with all commitments terminating on August 17, 2026.

Interest rates on the credit facility are based upon either (1) an index rate that is established at the highest of the prime rate or the sum of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (2) at Services’ election, a LIBOR rate, plus in either case, an applicable interest rate margin. The applicable interest rate margins are adjusted on a quarterly basis based upon Services’ first lien net leverage within the range of 1.00% to 2.50% for index rate loans and 2.00% and 3.50% for LIBOR loans. Borrowings under the credit facility shall initially bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.50%. In anticipation of LIBOR's phase out, our Credit Agreement includes a documented transition mechanism for selecting a benchmark replacement rate for LIBOR. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the credit facility, Services is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the credit facility for unused commitments. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.30% to 0.45% per annum depending on Services’ First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

38



The credit facility requires Services to comply with a quarterly maximum consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test and minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio as follows:

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio - The Loan Parties shall not permit the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of any four consecutive fiscal quarter period ending on the last day of a fiscal quarter to be less than 1.20:1.00, commencing with the period ending September 30, 2021.

First Lien Net Leverage Ratio – The Loan Parties will not permit the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of any four consecutive fiscal quarter period ending on the last day of a fiscal quarter to exceed 1.75:1.00, commencing with the period ending September 30, 2021 (subject to certain increases for permitted acquisitions).

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit Services’ ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries including the Company to incur indebtedness or guarantee debt; incur liens; make investments, loans and acquisitions; merge, liquidate or dissolve; sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; pay dividends on its capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire its capital stock; amend, prepay, redeem or purchase subordinated debt; and engage in transactions with affiliates.

Deferred Taxes - COVID-19

The Company made use of the payroll tax deferral provision of the CARES Act to defer the 6.2% social security tax. The remaining amount required to be paid by December 31, 2022 is $7.0 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

    As is common in our industry, we have entered into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Our significant off-balance sheet transactions include liabilities associated with letter of credit obligations, surety and performance and payment bonds entered into in the normal course of business, liabilities associated with deferred compensation plans, and liabilities associated with certain indemnification and guarantee arrangements.

    As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company was contingently liable under letters of credit issued under our credit facility in the amounts of $24.2 million and $31.1 million, respectively, related to projects and insurance.

    As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding surety bonds on projects with nominal amounts of $4.0 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. The remaining approximate exposure related to these surety bonds amounted to $999.8 million and $353.5 million, respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Credit Risk

    We are subject to concentrations of credit risk related to our net receivable position with customers, which includes amounts related to billed and unbilled accounts receivable and costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts net of advanced billings with the same customer. We grant credit under normal payment terms, generally without collateral, and as a result, we are subject to potential credit risk related to our customers’ ability to pay for services provided. This risk may be heightened if there is depressed economic and financial market conditions. However, we have the ability to file lien rights to limit this exposure and we believe the concentration of credit risk related to billed and unbilled receivables and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts is limited because of the lack of concentration and the high credit rating of our customers.

Item 4. Control and Procedures

    Attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report are certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act. This section includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referred to in the certifications, and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

    Our management has established and maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms. The disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

    As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For information regarding legal proceedings, see "Legal Proceedings" in Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

    There have been no other material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Annual Report, except as mentioned below.

The announcement and pendency of the proposed Merger may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The announcement and pendency of the proposed Merger may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Current and prospective clients may be reluctant to move forward on projects with us due to potential uncertainty about the direction of our business. Additionally, we are subject to additional risks in connection with the announcement and pendency of the Merger, including but are not limited to the following, all of which could be exacerbated by any delay in completion of the proposed Merger:

potential adverse effects on our relationships with our employees, customers, suppliers, and other current business partners, or those with which we are seeking to establish business relationships;
the impairment of our ability to attract, retain, and motivate our employees, including key personnel;
the diversion of significant management time and resources towards the completion of the proposed Merger;
delays or deferments of certain business decisions by our customers, suppliers, and other business partners;
the restrictions imposed on our business and operations pursuant to certain covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement, which may prevent us from pursuing certain opportunities;
any litigation relating to the Merger and the costs related thereto; and
the incurrence of significant costs, expenses, and fees for professional services and other transaction costs in connection with the Merger.

Failure to consummate the Merger within the expected time frame or at all could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There can be no assurance that the proposed Merger will be consummated. The consummation of the proposed Merger is subject to various conditions, including: (i) approval by our stockholders; (ii) the absence of any restraining order, injunction, judgment, order or decree or other law prohibiting consummation of the Merger; (iii) expiration or termination of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino Act waiting period; (iv) the approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the MasTec common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger; (v) effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by MasTec pursuant to which the issuance of such shares of MasTec common stock will be registered under the Securities Act; and (vi) other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that these and other conditions to closing will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all. In addition, other factors, such as MasTec’s ability to obtain the debt financing it needs to consummate the transaction, may affect when and whether the Merger will occur. If the acquisition is not completed, we may suffer consequences that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and share price, including the following:

we could be required to pay a termination fee of $27,500,000 to MasTec under certain circumstances as described in the Merger Agreement;
there can be no assurance that a remedy will be available to us in the event of a breach of the Merger Agreement by MasTec or that we will wholly or partially recover for any damages incurred by us in connection with the Merger;
we would have incurred and will incur significant costs in connection with the Merger that we would be unable to wholly or partially recover;
we may be subject to legal proceedings related to the Merger;
the failure of the Merger to be consummated may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us among customers or in the investment community or business community generally;
any disruptions to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the Merger, including any adverse changes in our relationships with our employees, customers, suppliers, and other business partners, may continue or intensify in the event the merger is not consummated;
42


we may not be able to take advantage of alternative business opportunities or effectively respond to competitive pressures; and,
we may experience a departure of management personnel and other employees.

The Merger may be less accretive than expected, or may be dilutive, and may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of the Merger.

The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on the combined company’s ability to realize anticipated and announced benefits and cost savings. The anticipated benefits and cost savings of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all, may take longer to realize than expected, may require more non-recurring costs and expenditures to realize than expected, or could have other unexpected adverse effects. Some of the announced assumptions that the companies have made, such as with respect to anticipated revenue synergies or the costs associated with realizing such synergies, may not be realized. There could also be potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses associated with the Merger that were not discovered in the course of performing due diligence.

We and our directors may be targets of securities class action and derivative lawsuits, which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Merger from being completed.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies and their directors when companies enter into agreements for transactions similar to those contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and such lawsuits may be brought against us and our directors in connection with the Merger Agreement. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the Merger, then that injunction may delay or prevent the Merger from being completed, which may adversely affect our business, financial position, and results of operations.

We are experiencing impacts from inflationary pressures in our supply chain and labor markets, which could adversely impact our profitability and cash flow.

We are experiencing, and may continue to experience, the general impact of inflationary market pressures in our supply chain and labor markets. We continue to see pressures on non-union labor costs as a result of the inflationary environment and current general labor shortage, which have created higher competitive markets for talents and opportunities for wage inflation. Despite disciplined hiring practices, it is likely that our labor costs will continue to increase given our demand for labor in this environment. In addition, inflationary pressures on labor costs could result in our inability to adjust contract pricing to keep up with current upward inflationary trends and could impact our profitability.

We are also experiencing difficulties in securing pricing or the availability of certain supplies and raw materials, as sometimes unpredictable supply chain market price escalations are impacting and may continue to impact our subcontractors and suppliers. The current market pressures can make it difficult for our suppliers and subcontractors to locate materials or honor contracted pricing without undue hardship. It is likely that this trend will continue as long as markets continue to experience current levels of inflation. Inflationary market pressures could also impact our ability to secure backlog in the near term. Particularly in our Specialty Civil segment, we continue to see projects on which we have submitted competitive bids being left unawarded, as all submitted bids have exceeded allowable budgets due to the inflationary pressures on materials and labor.

Continued inflation may also result in tightened credit markets and restrict access to funding, bonding, letters of credit or sureties, any of which could adversely impact our profitability and cash flow.

We are impacted by ongoing supply chain pressures resulting from global economic and geopolitical conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These conditions are rapidly evolving and could result in negative effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are experiencing supply chain disruptions relating to a variety of factors, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, production delays due to labor shortages, inflationary pressures making it difficult for suppliers to commit to contracted pricing or to obtain materials for commercially reasonable prices, fewer delivery options due to a reduction of truck drivers and rail cars, delayed sequencing in our projects related to the inability to determine specific delivery dates for key materials, cost increases for tax, tariffs and border controls, delayed shipments and potential bans or delays of imports as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, regulatory activity that includes the U.S. Department of Commerce’s ongoing antidumping circumvention investigation related to solar cells from Southeast Asia, and bans on imports of certain goods from China including in particular a significant input in the production of solar panels as a result of the Uyghur Forced Labor
43


Prevention Act. Supply chain disruptions have adversely impacted economic activity and conditions worldwide and we expect that impact to continue.

Any of the foregoing or other supply chain disruptions could cause project delays or terminations or otherwise impact our customers’ ongoing projects or their future project schedules, constitute force majeure events and prevent the financing of new projects by our customers, which could negatively impact our ability to recognize revenues, bill our customers for current costs or secure future business. The factors underlying these disruptions differ in their severity and impact on us and continue to evolve, and we believe that severity and impact may not be stable and could continue to fluctuate. There can be no assurances that our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations will not be negatively impacted by the future effects of labor market and supply chain disruptions, or that such disruptions and their impacts will not worsen in the future.
