NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
(1)Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include footnotes and certain financial information normally presented annually under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Therefore, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Tutor Perini Corporation’s (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 may not be indicative of the results that will be achieved for the full year ending December 31, 2021.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2021 and its consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
(2)Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), modifying Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). The amendments in ASU 2019-12, among other things, remove certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and seek more consistent application by clarifying and amending the existing guidance. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). The amendments in ASU 2020-06 simplify accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. ASU 2020-06 removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted EPS and the treasury stock method will no longer be available. ASU 2020-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt the new standard and does not expect it to have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Changes in Contract Estimates that Impact Revenue
Changes to the total estimated contract revenue or cost for a given project, either due to unexpected events or revisions to management’s initial estimates, are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Revenue was negatively impacted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in prior periods by $19.3 million. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in prior periods was immaterial.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not been performed and exclude unexercised contract options. As of March 31, 2021, the aggregate amounts of the transaction prices allocated to the remaining performance obligations of the Company’s construction contracts were $4.8 billion, $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion for the Civil, Building and Specialty Contractors segments, respectively. As of March 31, 2020, the aggregate amounts of the transaction prices allocated to the remaining performance obligations of the Company’s construction contracts were $5.2 billion, $1.9 billion and $2.2 billion for the Civil, Building and Specialty Contractors segments, respectively. The Company typically recognizes revenue on Civil segment projects over a period of three to five years, whereas for projects in the Building and Specialty Contractors segments, the Company typically recognizes revenue over a period of one to three years.
(4)Contract Assets and Liabilities
The Company classifies contract assets and liabilities that may be settled beyond one year from the balance sheet date as current, consistent with the length of time of the Company’s project operating cycle.

Contract assets include amounts due under retainage provisions, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and capitalized contract costs. The amounts as included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following:

Capitalized contract costs73,898 74,452 
Total contract assets$1,991,272 $1,959,627 
Retainage receivable represents amounts invoiced to customers where payments have been partially withheld pending the completion of certain milestones, satisfaction of other contractual conditions or the completion of the project. Retainage agreements vary from project to project, and balances could be outstanding for several months or years depending on a number of circumstances such as contract-specific terms, project performance and other variables that may arise as the Company makes progress toward completion.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings represent the excess of contract costs and profits (or contract revenue) over the amount of contract billings to date and are classified as a current asset. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings result when either: (1) the appropriate contract revenue amount has been recognized over time in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), but a portion of the revenue recorded cannot be billed currently due to the billing terms defined in the contract, or (2) costs are incurred related to certain claims and unapproved change orders. Claims occur when there is a dispute regarding both a change in the scope of work and the price associated with that change. Unapproved change orders occur when a change in the scope of work results in additional work being performed before the parties have agreed on the corresponding change in the contract price. The Company routinely estimates recovery related to claims and unapproved change orders as a form of variable consideration at the most likely amount it expects to receive and 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. Claims and unapproved change orders are billable upon the agreement and resolution between the contractual parties and after the execution of contractual amendments. Increases in claims and unapproved change orders typically result from costs being incurred against existing or new positions; decreases normally result from resolutions and subsequent billings. As discussed in Note 11, the resolution of these claims and unapproved change orders may require litigation or other forms of dispute resolution proceedings. Other unbilled costs and profits are billable in accordance with the billing terms of each of the existing contractual arrangements and, as such, the timing of contract billing cycles can cause fluctuations in the balance of unbilled costs and profits. Ultimate resolution of other unbilled costs and profits typically involves incremental progress toward contractual requirements or milestones.
Capitalized contract costs primarily represent costs to fulfill a contract that (1) directly relate to an existing or anticipated contract, (2) generate or enhance resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future and (3) are expected to be recovered through the contract, and are included in other current assets. Capitalized contract costs are generally expensed to the associated contract over the period of anticipated use on the project. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, $11.8 million and $10.3 million, respectively, of previously capitalized contract costs were amortized and recognized as expense on the related contracts.
Contract liabilities include amounts owed under retainage provisions and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings. The amount as reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following:

Retainage payable represents amounts invoiced to the Company by subcontractors where payments have been partially withheld pending the completion of certain milestones, other contractual conditions or upon the completion of the project. Generally, retainage payable is not remitted to subcontractors until the associated retainage receivable from customers is collected.
Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings represent the excess of contract billings to date over the amount of contract costs and profits (or contract revenue) recognized to date. The balance may fluctuate depending on the timing of contract billings and the recognition of contract revenue. Revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and included in the opening billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings balances for each period totaled $306.9 million and $429.5 million, respectively.
(5)Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
(in thousands)As of March 31,
2021
As of December 31,

Cash and cash equivalents available for general corporate purposes$176,763 $210,841

Restricted cash82,086 77,563 
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$400,806 $451,852 
Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when acquired. Cash and cash equivalents consist of amounts available for the Company’s general purposes, the Company’s proportionate share of cash held by the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures and 100% of amounts held by the Company’s consolidated joint ventures. In both cases, cash held by joint ventures is available only for joint venture-related uses, including future distributions to joint venture partners.
As of March 31, 2021, restricted cash consists primarily of $69.9 million held to repay the outstanding principal balance of Convertible Notes described in more detail in Note 9. Restricted cash also includes amounts held as collateral to secure insurance-related contingent obligations, such as insurance claim deductibles, in lieu of letters of credit.
(6)Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS are calculated by dividing net income attributable to Tutor Perini Corporation by the following: for basic EPS, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period; and for diluted EPS, the sum of the weighted-average number of both outstanding common shares and potentially dilutive securities, which for the Company can include restricted stock units, unexercised stock options and the Convertible Notes, as defined in Note 9. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the settlement of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes has no impact on diluted EPS because the Company has the intent and ability to settle the principal amount in cash. See Note 9 for further discussion of the Convertible Notes. The Company calculates the effect of the potentially dilutive restricted stock units and stock options using the treasury stock method.

(7)Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 21.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 16.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The effective income tax rate for the 2021 period was higher than the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes (net of the federal tax benefit) and nondeductible expenses, partially offset by earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for which income taxes are not the responsibility of the Company.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the effective income tax rate was lower than the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to the favorable tax rate differential realized on the 2019 net operating loss (“NOL) carryback and also to earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for which income taxes are not the responsibility of the Company. Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act), enacted on March 27, 2020, the NOL generated in 2019 may be carried back up to five years, whereas under previous rules NOLs were only allowed to be carried forward. This allowed the Company to realize the benefit of the tax rate differential by carrying back the NOL to tax years when the federal statutory tax rate was 35% rather than the current rate of 21%, consequently generating a larger tax benefit from the NOL than that recognized prior to the enactment of the CARES Act. The favorable tax rate impact resulting from the CARES Act was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of restricted stock unit vesting, for which a portion of the share-based compensation expense was not deductible for income tax purposes, as well as state income taxes (net of the federal tax benefit).

The Company tests the goodwill allocated to its Civil reporting unit for impairment annually on October 1, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company performed its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2020 using a weighted-average of an income and a market approach. These approaches utilize various valuation assumptions, and small changes to the assumptions could have a significant impact on the concluded fair value. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded goodwill was not impaired since the estimated fair value of the Civil reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. In addition, the Company

determined that no triggering events occurred and no circumstances changed since the date of our annual impairment test that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Civil reporting unit below its carrying amount.
The Company will continue to monitor events and circumstances for changes that indicate the Civil reporting unit goodwill would need to be reevaluated for impairment during future interim periods prior to the annual impairment test. These future events and circumstances include, but are not limited to, changes in the overall financial performance of the Civil reporting unit, impacts to our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other quantitative and qualitative factors which could indicate potential triggering events for possible impairment.

The unamortized issuance costs related to the 2020 Revolver were $2.5 million and $2.6 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and are included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2020 Credit Agreement

On August 18, 2020, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (the “2020 Credit Agreement”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer and other lenders. The 2020 Credit Agreement provides for a $425.0 million term loan B facility (the “Term Loan B”) and a $175.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2020 Revolver”), with sublimits for the issuance of letters of credit and swing line loans up to the aggregate amounts of $75.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively. The Term Loan B will mature on August 18, 2027 and the 2020 Revolver will mature on August 18, 2025, in each case, unless any of the 2017 Senior Notes are outstanding on January 30, 2025 (which is 91 days prior to the maturity of the 2017 Senior Notes), in which case, both the Term Loan B and the 2020 Revolver will mature on January 30, 2025 (subject to certain further exceptions).

The 2020 Credit Agreement permits the Company to repay any or all borrowings outstanding under the 2020 Credit Agreement at any time prior to maturity without penalty, except that the Company must pay a 1.00% premium in respect to the Term Loan B in connection with any transactions that reduce the yield applicable to the Term Loan B within the first twelve months after August 18, 2020 (subject to certain further exceptions). The 2020 Credit Agreement requires the Company to make regularly scheduled payments of principal on the Term Loan B in quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the Term Loan B. The 2020 Credit Agreement also requires the Company to make prepayments on the Term Loan B in connection with certain asset sales, receipts of insurance proceeds, incurrences of unpermitted indebtedness and annual excess cash flow (subject to certain exceptions).

Subject to certain exceptions, at any time prior to maturity, the 2020 Credit Agreement provides the Company with the right to increase the commitments under the 2020 Revolver and/or to establish one or more term loan facilities in an aggregate amount up to (i) the greater of $173.5 million and 50% LTM EBITDA (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement) plus (ii) additional amounts if (A) in the case of pari passu first lien secured indebtedness, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement) does not exceed 1.35:1.00, (B) in the case of junior lien secured indebtedness, the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement) does not exceed 3.50:1.00 and (C) in the case of unsecured indebtedness, (x) the Total Net Leverage Ratio does not exceed 3.50:1.00 or (y) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement) is no less than 2.00:1.00.

Borrowings under the 2020 Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to (i) (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate (determined by reference to the highest of (1) the administrative agent’s prime lending rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points and (3) the LIBOR rate for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points) plus, (ii) an applicable margin. The margin applicable to the Term Loan B is between 4.50% and 4.75% for LIBOR and between 3.50% and 3.75% for base rate (which was initially 4.75% for LIBOR and 3.75% for base rate), and, in each case, is based on the Total Net Leverage Ratio. The margin applicable to the 2020 Revolver is between 4.25% and 4.75% for LIBOR and 3.25% and 3.75% for base rate (which was initially 4.75% for LIBOR and 3.75% for base rate), and, in each case, is based on the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the 2020 Credit Agreement, the Company will pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the 2020 Revolver in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The Company will pay customary letter of credit fees. If a payment or bankruptcy event of default occurs and is continuing, the otherwise applicable margin on overdue amounts will be increased by 2% per annum. The agreement includes provisions for the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative benchmark rate in the event LIBOR is discontinued. The weighted-average annual interest rate on borrowings under the 2020 Revolver was 6.50% during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The 2020 Credit Agreement requires, with respect to the 2020 Revolver only, the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a maximum First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of 2.75:1:00, stepping down to 2.25:1.00 beginning the quarter ending March 31, 2022. The 2020 Credit Agreement also includes certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default. Subject to certain exceptions, substantially all of the Company’s existing and future material wholly-owned subsidiaries unconditionally guarantee the obligations of the Company under the 2020 Credit Agreement; additionally, subject to certain exceptions, the obligations are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries guaranteeing these obligations.

As of March 31, 2021, the entire $175 million was available under the 2020 Revolver and the Company had not utilized the 2020 Revolver for letters of credit. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the 2020 Credit Agreement for the period ended March 31, 2021.

Termination of 2017 Credit Facility

On August 18, 2020, the Company used proceeds from the Term Loan B to repay outstanding amounts under its credit agreement (the “2017 Credit Facility”) with SunTrust Bank, now known as Truist Bank, as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer and a syndicate of other lenders, at which time the 2017 Credit Facility was terminated.

Convertible Notes

On June 15, 2016, the Company issued $200 million of 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due June 15, 2021 (the “Convertible Notes”) in a private placement offering. On August 19, 2020, the Company used proceeds from the Term Loan B to repurchase $130.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $132.4 million (including accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date). At March 31, 2021, $69.9 million ($69.0 million net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs) of the Convertible Notes remain outstanding and are included in “Current maturities of long-term debt” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company will repurchase or retire at or before maturity the remaining Convertible Notes and repay the principal balance using proceeds from the Term Loan B, which are currently held in a restricted cash account for this purpose.

The Convertible Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.875% per year, payable in cash semi-annually in June and December.

TUTOR PERINI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
UNAUDITED

Prior to January 15, 2021, the Convertible Notes were convertible only under certain circumstances including upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. The holders did not convert any of the Convertible Notes prior to January 15, 2021. On or after January 15, 2021 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

The Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 33.0579 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $30.25. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment for some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, the Company is required to increase, in certain circumstances, the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert their Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event including customary conversion rate adjustments in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change” described in the indenture. Upon conversion, and at the Company’s election, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation with cash, shares of its common stock or a combination thereof. As of March 31, 2021, none of the notes have been converted.

2017 Senior Notes

On April 20, 2017, the Company issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due May 1, 2025 (the “2017 Senior Notes”) in a private placement offering. Interest on the 2017 Senior Notes is payable in arrears semi-annually in May and November of each year, beginning in November 2017.

Prior to May 1, 2020, the Company could have redeemed the 2017 Senior Notes under certain conditions described in the agreement. Since May 1, 2020, the Company may redeem the 2017 Senior Notes at specified redemption prices described in the indenture. Upon a change of control, holders of the 2017 Senior Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or part of the 2017 Senior Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The 2017 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries that also guarantee obligations under the Company’s 2020 Credit Agreement, as defined above. In addition, the indenture for the 2017 Senior Notes provides for customary covenants, including events of default and restrictions on the payment of dividends and share repurchases.

(11)Commitments and Contingencies
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in litigation and other legal proceedings and forms of dispute resolution in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to disputes over contract payment and/or performance-related issues (such as disagreements regarding delay or a change in the scope of work of a project and/or the price associated with that change) and other matters incidental to the Company’s business. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company makes assessments of these types of matters on a routine basis and, to the extent permitted by ASC 606, estimates and records recovery related to these matters as a form of variable consideration at the most likely amount the Company expects to receive, as discussed further in Note 4. In addition, the Company is contingently liable for litigation, performance guarantees and other commitments arising in the ordinary course of business, which are accounted for in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. Management reviews these matters regularly and updates or revises its estimates as warranted by subsequent information and developments. These assessments require judgments concerning matters that are inherently uncertain, such as litigation developments and outcomes, the anticipated outcome of negotiations and the estimated cost of resolving disputes. Consequently, these assessments are estimates, and actual amounts may vary from such estimates. In addition, because such matters are typically resolved over long periods of time, the Company’s assets and liabilities may change over time should the circumstances dictate. The description of the legal proceedings listed below include management’s assessment of those proceedings. Management believes that, based on current information and discussions with the Company’s legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of other matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
A description of the material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business is as follows:
Five Star Electric Matter
In the third quarter of 2015, Five Star Electric Corp. (“Five Star”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that was acquired in 2011, entered into a tolling agreement (which has since expired) related to an ongoing investigation being conducted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York (“USAO EDNY”). Five Star has been cooperating with the USAO EDNY since late June 2014, when it was first made aware of the investigation, and has provided information requested by the government related to its use of certain minority-owned, women-owned, small and disadvantaged business enterprises and certain of Five Star’s employee compensation, benefit and tax practices.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company has concluded that the potential for a material adverse financial impact on Five Star or the Company as a result of the investigation is remote.
Alaskan Way Viaduct Matter
In January 2011, Seattle Tunnel Partners (“STP”), a joint venture between Dragados USA, Inc. and the Company, entered into a design-build contract with the Washington State Department of Transportation (“WSDOT”) for the construction of a large-diameter bored tunnel in downtown Seattle, King County, Washington to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct, also known as State Route 99. The Company has a 45% interest in STP.
The construction of the large-diameter bored tunnel required the use of a tunnel boring machine (“TBM”). In December 2013, the TBM struck a steel pipe, installed by WSDOT as a well casing for an exploratory well. The TBM was significantly damaged and was required to be repaired. STP has asserted that the steel pipe casing was a differing site condition that WSDOT failed to properly disclose. The Disputes Review Board mandated by the contract to hear disputes issued a decision finding the steel casing was a Type I (material) differing site condition. WSDOT did not accept that finding.
The TBM was insured under a Builder’s Risk Insurance Policy (the “Policy”) with Great Lakes Reinsurance (UK) PLC and a consortium of other insurers (the “Insurers”). STP submitted the claims to the Insurers and requested interim payments under the Policy. The Insurers refused to pay and denied coverage. In June 2015, STP filed a lawsuit in the King County Superior Court, State of Washington seeking declaratory relief concerning contract interpretation, as well as damages as a result of the Insurers’ breach of their obligations under the terms of the Policy. STP is also asserting extra-contractual and statutory claims against the Insurers. WSDOT is deemed a plaintiff since WSDOT is an insured under the Policy and had filed its own claim for damages. Hitachi Zosen (“Hitachi”), the manufacturer of the TBM, joined the case as a plaintiff for costs incurred to repair the damages to the TBM.

In September 2018, rulings received on pre-trial motions effectively limited potential recovery under the Policy for STP, WSDOT and Hitachi. However, on December 19, 2018, the Court of Appeal granted the Company’s request for a discretionary appeal of those rulings. The discretionary appeal was heard on February 23, 2021 and a decision remains pending with the Court of Appeal. STP submitted damages to the Insurers in the King County lawsuit in the amount of $532 million. STP also sought these damages from WSDOT related to the pipe-strike by the TBM in a related lawsuit in Thurston County (see following paragraph).
In March 2016, WSDOT filed a complaint against STP in Thurston County Superior Court alleging breach of contract, seeking $57.2 million in delay-related damages and seeking declaratory relief concerning contract interpretation. STP filed its answer to WSDOT’s complaint and filed a counterclaim against WSDOT and Hitachi, as the TBM designer, seeking damages of $667 million. On October 3, 2019, STP and Hitachi entered into a settlement agreement which released and dismissed the claims that STP and Hitachi had against each other. The jury trial between STP and WSDOT commenced on October 7, 2019 and concluded on December 13, 2019, with a jury verdict in favor of WSDOT awarding them $57.2 million in damages. Judgment was entered on January 10, 2020, and a notice of appeal was filed by STP on January 17, 2020. The appeal is expected to be heard in late 2021.
The Company recorded the impact of the jury verdict during the fourth quarter of 2019, resulting in a pre-tax charge of $166.8 million. The charge includes a pre-tax accrual of $25.7 million (which is the Company’s 45% proportionate share of the $57.2 million in damages awarded by the jury to WSDOT). Payment of damages will only be made if the adverse verdict is upheld on appeal, as the payment is secured by a bond for the course of the appeal. Other than the possible future payment in cash of $25.7 million in damages, the charge was for non-cash write-downs primarily related to the costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and receivables that the Company previously recorded to reflect its expected recovery in this case.
With respect to STP’s direct and indirect claims against the Insurers, management has included in receivables an estimate of the total anticipated recovery concluded to be probable.
George Washington Bridge Bus Station Matter
In August 2013, Tutor Perini Building Corp. (“TPBC”) entered into a contract with the George Washington Bridge Bus Station Development Venture, LLC (the “Developer”) to renovate the George Washington Bridge Bus Station, a mixed-use facility owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (the “Port Authority”) that serves as a transit facility and retail space. The $100 million project experienced significant design errors and associated delays, resulting in damages to TPBC and its subcontractors, including WDF and Five Star, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The project reached substantial completion on May 16, 2017.
On February 26, 2015, the Developer filed a demand for arbitration, subsequently amended, seeking $30 million in alleged damages and declaratory relief that TPBC’s requests for additional compensation are invalid due to lack of notice. TPBC denied the Developer’s claims and filed a counterclaim in March 2018. TPBC seeks in excess of $113 million in the arbitration, which includes unpaid contract balance claims, the return of $29 million retained by the Developer in alleged damages, as well as extra work claims, pass-through claims and delay claims.
Hearings on the merits commenced on September 24, 2018 before the arbitration panel. On June 4, 2019, the arbitration panel, as confirmed by the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, issued a writ of attachment for $23 million of the $29 million discussed above. On October 7, 2019, the Developer filed for bankruptcy protection in the Southern District of New York under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The filing for bankruptcy stayed the pending arbitration proceedings. TPBC appeared in the bankruptcy proceedings on October 8, 2019 and filed a Proof of Claim in the amount of $113 million on December 13, 2019.
On June 5, 2020, the Developer, secured lenders and the Port Authority announced that they had reached a settlement of their disputes. As part of the settlement, the Port Authority waived the enforcement of its right to seek a “cure” pursuant to its lease agreement with the Developer which requires construction costs be paid prior to any sale of the leasehold, the sole asset in the Developer’s bankruptcy estate to be distributed in this bankruptcy. On July 14, 2020, the bankruptcy court conducted a hearing to determine (1) whether to approve the settlement agreement between the Developer, secured lenders and the Port Authority; and (2) whether TPBC can assert third-party beneficiary rights to the lease agreement and require that prior to the sale of the leasehold, any outstanding costs owed to contractors for the cost of building the project must be paid pursuant to the lease agreement’s “cure” provisions. On August 12, 2020, the bankruptcy court approved the settlement and denied TPBC’s third-party beneficiary rights under the lease agreement. On August 20, 2020, TPBC filed an appeal with the U.S. District Court for

UNAUDITED

the Southern District of New York seeking to challenge the denial of its third-party beneficiary rights under the lease agreement’s “cure” provisions to avoid being subordinate to the claims of the secured lenders in the bankruptcy proceedings. The appeal was heard on March 12, 2021, and a decision remains pending with the District Court.
Separately, on July 2, 2018, TPBC filed a lawsuit against the Port Authority, as owner of the project, seeking the same $113 million in damages pursuant to the lease agreement between the Port Authority and the Developer. On August 20, 2018, the Port Authority filed a motion to dismiss all causes of action, which was denied by the court on July 1, 2019. The Port Authority appealed this decision on July 15, 2019. On February 18, 2021, the Appellate Division affirmed in part and reversed in part the trial court's denial of the Port Authority's motion to dismiss TPBC’s causes of action.
On January 27, 2020, TPBC filed separate litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in which TPBC asserted related claims against individual owners of the Developer for their wrongful conversion of project funds and against lenders that received interest payments from project funds and other amounts earmarked to pay the contractors. On June 1, 2020, the defendants filed motions to dismiss, which were granted in part and denied in part, resulting in the lender defendants being dismissed from the lawsuit and the lawsuit against the individual owners of the Developer continuing.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company has concluded that the potential for a material adverse financial impact due to the Developer’s claims is remote. With respect to TPBC’s claims against the Developer, its owners, certain lenders and the Port Authority, management has made an estimate of the total anticipated recovery on this project, and such estimate is included in revenue recorded to date.
(12)Share-Based Compensation
As of March 31, 2021, there were 1,405,020 shares of common stock available for grant under the Tutor Perini Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan. During the first three months of 2021 and 2020, the Company granted the following share-based instruments: (1) restricted stock units totaling 180,000 and 75,000 with weighted-average fair values per share of $19.30 and $13.93, respectively; and (2) stock options totaling 100,000 and 75,000 with weighted-average fair values per share of $13.67 and $3.94, respectively, and weighted-average per share exercise prices of $19.24 and $25.70, respectively.
The fair value of restricted stock units and unrestricted stock is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the grant and the fair value of stock options is based on the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of stock options granted during the first three months of 2021 was determined using the Black-Scholes model based on the following weighted-average assumptions: (i) expected life of 6.5 years, (ii) expected volatility of 73.74%, (iii) risk-free rate of 1.44%, and (iv) no quarterly dividends. Certain performance-based awards contain market condition components and are valued on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Certain restricted stock unit grants are classified as liabilities because they contain a guaranteed minimum payout. The Company recognized liabilities for these awards totaling approximately $2.5 million and $2.4 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company paid approximately $0.3 million to settle liability classified awards during each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized, as part of general and administrative expenses, costs for share-based payment arrangements totaling $2.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, the balance of unamortized share-based compensation expense was $14.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.
(13)    Employee Pension Plans
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan and an unfunded supplemental retirement plan. Effective June 1, 2004, all benefit accruals under these plans were frozen; however, the current vested benefit was preserved. The pension disclosure presented below includes aggregated amounts for both of the Company’s plans.

The Company contributed $1.0 million and $1.3 million to its defined benefit pension plan during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Due to the election of certain options provided under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, enacted on March 11, 2021, the Company is not required to contribute additional amounts to the defined benefit pension plan for the remainder of 2021.
(14)Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:
Level 1 inputs are observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, but are not Level 1 inputs
Level 3 inputs are unobservable
The following fair value hierarchy table presents the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

As of December 31, 2020, restricted investments consisted of investments in U.S. government agency securities of $40.5 million, corporate debt securities of $37.5 million, and corporate certificates of deposits of $0.9 million with maturities of up to five years. The amortized cost of these available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was not materially different from the fair value.
(c)Investments in lieu of retainage are included in retainage receivable and as of March 31, 2021 are comprised of money market funds of $45.3 million, corporate debt securities of $50.1 million and municipal bonds of $1.3 million. The fair values of the money market funds are measured using quoted market prices; therefore, they are classified as Level 1 assets. The fair values of corporate and municipal bonds have maturity periods up to five years, and are determined from a compilation of primarily observable market information, third-party quoted market prices, broker quotes in non-active markets or similar assets; therefore, they are classified as Level 2 assets. As of December 31, 2020, investments in lieu of retainage consisted of money market funds of $92.6 million and municipal bonds of $1.3 million. The amortized cost of

these available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was not materially different from the fair value.
The carrying values of receivables, payables and other amounts arising out of normal contract activities, including retainage, which may be settled beyond one year, are estimated to approximate fair value. Of the Company’s long-term debt, the fair value of the 2017 Senior Notes was $518.3 million and $495.0 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The fair value of the Convertible Notes was $69.2 million and $69.1 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The fair values of the 2017 Senior Notes and Convertible Notes were determined using Level 1 inputs, specifically current observable market prices. The fair value of the Term Loan B was $427.1 million and $425.0 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The fair value of the Term Loan B was determined using Level 2 inputs, specifically third-party quoted market prices. The reported value of the Company’s remaining borrowings approximates fair value as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
(15)Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)
The Company may form joint ventures or partnerships with third parties for the execution of projects. In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), the Company assesses its partnerships and joint ventures at inception to determine if any 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 a joint venture is a VIE.
ASC 810 also requires the Company to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company concludes that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE if the Company has both (a) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the VIE and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE 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 if the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company also considers all parties that have direct or implicit variable interests when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary. In accordance with ASC 810, management’s assessment of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is performed continuously.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company had unconsolidated VIE-related current assets and liabilities of $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had unconsolidated VIE-related current assets and liabilities of $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investments in unconsolidated VIEs is typically limited to the aggregate of the carrying value of the investment and future funding commitments. There were no future funding requirements for the unconsolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included current and noncurrent assets of $404.2 million and $9.7 million, respectively, as well as current liabilities of $449.3 million related to the operations of its consolidated VIEs. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included current and noncurrent assets of $405.7 million and $14.2 million, respectively, as well as current liabilities of $514.9 million related to the operations of its consolidated VIEs.
Below is a discussion of some of the Company’s more significant or unique VIEs.
The Company established a joint venture to construct the Purple Line Extension Section 2 (Tunnels and Stations) and Section 3 (Stations) mass-transit projects in Los Angeles, California with an original combined value of approximately $2.8 billion. The Company has a 75% interest in the joint venture with the remaining 25% held by O&G Industries, Inc. The joint venture was initially financed with contributions from the partners and, per the terms of the joint venture agreement, the partners may be required to provide additional capital contributions in the future. The Company has determined that this joint venture is a VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

The Company also established a joint venture with Parsons Corporation (“Parsons”) to construct the Newark Liberty International Airport Terminal One project, a transportation infrastructure project in Newark, New Jersey with an original value of approximately $1.4 billion. The Company has an 80% interest in the joint venture with the remaining 20% held by Parsons. The joint venture was initially financed with contributions from the partners and, per the terms of the joint venture agreement, the partners may be required to provide additional capital contributions in the future. The Company has determined that this joint venture is a VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary.

(18)Business Segments
The Company offers general contracting, pre-construction planning and comprehensive project management services, including planning and scheduling of manpower, equipment, materials and subcontractors required for the timely completion of a project in accordance with the terms and specifications contained in a construction contract. The Company also offers self-performed construction services: site work, concrete forming and placement, steel erection, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning). As described below, the Company’s business is conducted through three segments: Civil, Building and Specialty Contractors. These segments are determined based on how the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (chief operating decision maker) aggregates business units when evaluating performance and allocating resources.
The Civil segment specializes in public works construction and the replacement and reconstruction of infrastructure. The contracting services provided by the Civil segment include construction and rehabilitation of highways, bridges, tunnels, mass-transit systems, military defense facilities, and water management and wastewater treatment facilities.
The Building segment has significant experience providing services for private and public works customers in a number of specialized building markets, including: hospitality and gaming, transportation, health care, commercial offices, government facilities, sports and entertainment, education, correctional facilities, biotech, pharmaceutical, industrial and technology.
The Specialty Contractors segment specializes in electrical, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, fire protection systems and pneumatically placed concrete for a full range of civil and building construction projects in the industrial, commercial, hospitality and gaming, and mass-transit end markets. This segment provides the Company with unique strengths and capabilities that allow the Company to position itself as a full-service contractor with greater control over scheduled work, project delivery, and cost and risk management.
To the extent that a contract is co-managed and co-executed among segments, the Company allocates the share of revenues and costs of the contract to each segment to reflect the shared responsibilities in the management and execution of the project.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future results, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provision for forward-looking statements provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. Words such as “achieve,” “anticipate,” “assumes,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expects,” “forecast,” “hope,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “will,” “would,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Although such statements are based on currently available financial and economic data as well as management’s estimates and expectations, forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from what may be inferred from the forward-looking statements. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Factors potentially contributing to such differences include, among others:
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related events that are beyond our control, including possible effects on our business and operations, customers and suppliers, and employees, contractors and subcontractors, which could affect adversely our projects and the geographic regions in which we conduct business;
Revisions of estimates of contract risks, revenue or costs; the timing of new awards; or the pace of project execution may result in losses or lower than anticipated profit;
Unfavorable outcomes of existing or future litigation or dispute resolution proceedings against customers (project owners, developers, general contractors, etc.), subcontractors or suppliers, as well as failure to promptly recover significant working capital invested in projects subject to such matters;
The requirement to perform extra, or change order, work resulting in disputes or claims or adversely affecting our working capital, profits and cash flows;
A significant slowdown or decline in economic conditions;
Risks and other uncertainties associated with assumptions and estimates used to prepare financial statements;
Inability to retain key members of our management, to hire and retain personnel required to complete projects or implement succession plans for key officers;
Increased competition and failure to secure new contracts;
Decreases in the level of government spending for infrastructure and other public projects;
Failure to meet contractual schedule requirements, which could result in higher costs and reduced profits or, in some cases, exposure to financial liability for liquidated damages and/or damages to customers;
Client cancellations of, or reductions in scope under, contracts reported in our backlog;
Possible systems and information technology interruptions, including due to cyberattack, systems failures or other similar events;
Failure of our joint venture partners to perform their venture obligations, which could impose additional financial and performance obligations on us, resulting in reduced profits or losses and/or reputational harm;
Economic, political, regulatory and other risks, including civil unrest, security issues, labor conditions, corruption and other unforeseeable events in countries where we do business, resulting in unanticipated losses;
The impact of inclement weather conditions on projects;
Risks related to government contracts and related procurement regulations;
Violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws;
Adverse health events, such as an epidemic or a pandemic;
Failure to meet our obligations under our debt agreements;
Downgrades in our credit ratings;
Impairment of our goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets; and
Uncertainty from the expected discontinuance of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and transition to any other interest rate benchmark.

Executive Overview
COVID-19 Update
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a lack of available manpower, a reduction in field labor productivity, other inefficiencies, delays to project schedules and a deferral of project execution. As a result, we continue to incur incremental costs, much of which we are seeking to recover from our customers as allowed by contractual terms. The relief sought from customers, some of which has already been received, helped reduce the pandemic's negative impact on our financial results for the current period. In addition, we continue to experience delays in legal proceedings, as well as delays in settlement discussions where we have claims against project owners for additional costs exceeding the contract price or for amounts not included in the original contract price. Delays in resolving and recovering on these claims continue to adversely affect our liquidity and financial results.
The vast majority of our projects, especially in the Civil segment, have been and continue to be considered essential business activities, which has allowed projects to continue while implementing new health and safety requirements. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on the volume of our new awards and, correspondingly, our backlog. Many of our state and local government customers’ revenue sources have been and continue to be negatively impacted by the pandemic due to severely curtailed ridership on mass-transit systems (buses, subways, trains, etc.), travel on commercial airlines, and driving by the general public, which resulted in reduced fare and toll collections, lower fuel tax receipts and reduced airport and other facility usage fees. Sales and other tax revenues have also been negatively affected by reduced spending, as the retail, travel, hospitality and entertainment industries, among others, have suffered through periodic government-imposed shut-downs or occupancy restrictions that now appear to be easing. These tax revenue shortfalls led to, and could continue to result in, funding uncertainties that have caused customers to delay bid solicitations and contract awards for many of their planned infrastructure projects. Our reduced backlog combined with the possibility of continued pandemic-related delays in project bids and awards could result in lower-than-expected revenue and earnings until such time as the federal government provides supplemental funding support (should that occur) to our customers or when customers’ funding uncertainties are otherwise resolved.
The pace of COVID-19 vaccinations has accelerated in the U.S. since the vaccines were first approved and became available in late 2020. The vaccines have been reported to be highly effective against the original COVID-19 virus strain, but may not be as effective against certain newer variants nor against other future variants. While the vaccination programs offer hope that society and business environments may return to a greater sense of normalcy by the second half of 2021, the timing and pace of such a return to normalcy continue to be difficult to predict. As such, due to the fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic, uncertainties as to its scope and duration, and ongoing changes in the way that governments, businesses and individuals react and respond to the pandemic, the Company is unable at this time to accurately predict the pandemic’s future impact on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Operating Results
Consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $1.21 billion compared to $1.25 billion for the same period in 2020, primarily due to reduced project execution activities in the Building segment, mostly offset by increased volume in the Specialty Contractors segment.
Despite the slight revenue decline, income from construction operations for the first quarter of 2021 was $49.7 million compared to $47.2 million for the same period in 2020, with the increase primarily driven by a shift toward higher-margin projects within the Civil segment, including favorable contributions from projects in California and Guam. Improved performance in the Building segment was largely offset by underperformance in the Specialty Contractors segment.
The effective tax rate was 21.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 16.4% for the comparable period in 2020. See Corporate, Tax and Other Matters below for a discussion of the change in the effective tax rate.
Net income attributable to the Company for the first quarter of 2021 was $16.0 million compared to $17.4 million for the same period in 2020. Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $0.31 compared to diluted earnings per common share of $0.34 for the same period in 2020. The decrease in net income attributable to the Company, and correspondingly EPS, was primarily due to an increase in the effective tax rate and higher interest expense, partially offset by improved income from construction operations.
Consolidated new awards for the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $1.0 billion compared to $0.6 billion for the same period in 2020. The Civil and Building segments were the primary contributors to the new award activity in the first quarter of 2021. The most significant new awards included a $269 million government building facility in California, more than
29

Table of Contents
$220 million for various projects in the Midwest and $120 million of additional funding for a mass-transit project in California. The Company now anticipates booking the previously announced $478 million LAX Airport Metro Connector project into backlog in the second quarter of 2021.
Consolidated backlog as of March 31, 2021 was $8.1 billion, down modestly compared to $8.3 billion at December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the mix of backlog by segment was approximately 59% for Civil, 20% for Building and 21% for Specialty Contractors.
The following table presents the Company’s backlog by business segment, reflecting changes from December 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021:

Total$8,345.7 $958.7 $(1,207.6)$8,096.8 
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
(a)New awards consist of the original contract price of projects added to backlog plus or minus subsequent changes to the estimated total contract price of existing contracts.
(b)Backlog may differ from the transaction prices allocated to the remaining performance obligations as disclosed in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 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).
Although the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be gradually abating as an increasing proportion of the U.S. population is vaccinated, the pandemic still remains fluid and uncertain. Accordingly, the Company cannot assess the degree to which it might experience future adverse impacts. The outlook for the Company’s growth over the next several years remains favorable, particularly in the Civil and Specialty Contractors segments, but the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could still continue to adversely affect future performance and operations, and the amount and timing of new work awarded. In addition, the Company’s growth could continue to be impacted by future project delays or the timing of project commencements, ramp-up activities and completions. We anticipate that we will continue to win our share of significant new awards resulting from long-term capital spending plans by state, local and federal customers, as well as limited competition for some of the largest project opportunities. In elections over the past several years, voters in numerous states approved dozens of long-term transportation funding measures totaling approximately $200 billion in long-term funding. The largest of these was in Los Angeles County, where Measure M, a half-cent sales tax increase, was approved and is expected to generate $120 billion of funding over 40 years. In Seattle, Washington, Sound Transit 3 was passed and is expected to generate $54 billion of funding over 25 years. As state and local governments continue responding to the economic burdens attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, they may delay or even cancel planned infrastructure investments due to reduced revenues from income and sales taxes, fuel taxes and tolls. The extent and duration of such effects, and how state and local governments will respond remains uncertain, just as the scope and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic remain highly uncertain. However, the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the U.S. economy has caused interest rates to remain at historically low levels, which may be conducive to continued, and potentially increased, spending on infrastructure projects.
There has long been strong, bipartisan support for infrastructure investments in the United States. Given the lack of substantial federal infrastructure spending over the past few decades and the negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is currently a strong focus by the Biden Administration on the near-term passage of a significant infrastructure bill, initially proposed at approximately $2.3 trillion of spending mostly over eight years. A substantial amount of incremental federal funding, such as what is included in the initially proposed bill or what may be included in a compromise bill, could directly and favorably impact the Company’s current work and prospective opportunities, although the timing and ultimate magnitude of such funding remains uncertain. The timing of adoption of any such legislation, the content of such legislation and amount of spending funded by it, and whether any legislative infrastructure package will be adopted also remains uncertain.
While we anticipate continued revenue growth from our existing backlog of large civil projects on the West Coast and in Guam, certain large civil projects in the Northeast are completing or will be nearing completion in 2021. The Company is pursuing several large prospective projects on the West Coast, in the Northeast and in Guam that are expected to be bid and awarded in 2021 and 2022. However, revenue could decline in 2021 because the timing and magnitude of revenue contributions from these prospective projects may not be sufficient to offset revenue reductions associated with the projects that will be completed or progressing toward completion in 2021. In addition, as discussed earlier, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and could

continue to result in, delays in the bidding and awarding of certain projects the Company is pursuing, which could further delay large new revenue streams.
For a more detailed discussion of operating performance of each business segment, corporate general and administrative expenses and other items, see Results of Segment Operations, Corporate, Tax and Other Matters and Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
Results of Segment Operations
The results of our Civil, Building and Specialty Contractors segments are discussed below.
Civil Segment
Revenue and income from construction operations for the Civil segment are summarized as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)20212020
Revenue$475.6 $486.6 
Income from construction operations50.1 46.1 
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased slightly compared to the same period in 2020. Reduced project execution activities on certain projects in the Northeast were mostly offset by increased activities on various projects in California and Guam.

Despite the slight revenue decline, income from construction operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased 9%, compared to the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to contributions from certain higher-margin projects in California and Guam.
Operating margin was 10.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 9.5% for the same period in 2020. The increase was due to the above-mentioned factors that drove the changes in revenue and income from construction operations.
New awards in the Civil segment totaled $457 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $179 million for the same period in 2020. Significant new awards in the first quarter of 2021 included more than $220 million for various projects in the Midwest and $120 million of additional funding for a mass-transit project in California. Several large Civil segment opportunities are expected to bid and/or potentially be awarded to the Company later this year and in 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant revenue shortfalls for many state and local government agencies since 2020, and may continue to cause the deferrals or cancellations of certain new projects, depending on the allocation and prioritization of state and local funding, as well as the availability, timing and magnitude of anticipated funding from the federal government.
Backlog for the Civil segment was $4.8 billion as of March 31, 2021 compared to $5.7 billion as of March 31, 2020. The decrease has been the result of relatively fewer and smaller new awards over the past year primarily due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and comparatively higher revenue over the same period. The segment continues to experience strong demand reflected in a large, multi-year pipeline of prospective projects, substantial anticipated funding from various voter-approved transportation measures and public agencies’ long-term spending plans. The Civil segment is well-positioned to continue capturing its share of these prospective projects.
Building Segment
Revenue and income from construction operations for the Building segment are summarized as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)20212020
Revenue$407.2 $481.8 
Income from construction operations11.2 3.5 
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased 15% compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to reduced project execution activities on a hospitality and gaming project in the Southeast, an airport facility project that was recently completed, also in the Southeast, and a project in the Northeast that is nearing completion.
31

Table of Contents
Despite the revenue decline, income from construction operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased compared to the first quarter of 2020, largely due to the absence of an immaterial unfavorable project close-out adjustment recognized in the same period in 2020, as well as lower operating costs associated with the aforementioned revenue reduction.
Operating margin was 2.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 0.7% for the same period in 2020. The increase was due to the above-mentioned factors that drove the changes in revenue and income from construction operations.
New awards in the Building segment totaled $344 million in 2021 compared to $183 million for the same period in 2020. The most significant new award in the first quarter of 2021 was a $269 million government facility project in California. As mentioned above in Executive Overview, the Company now anticipates booking the previously announced $478 million LAX Airport Metro Connector project into backlog in the second quarter of 2021.
Backlog for the Building segment was $1.6 billion as of March 31, 2021 compared to $2.5 billion as of March 31, 2020. The decrease was driven by revenue that exceeded the volume of new awards over the past year. The Building segment continues to have a large volume of prospective projects across various end markets and geographic locations. Barring any further adverse impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for our building construction services is expected to grow as economic conditions improve and as customer spending increases, which continue to be supported by a historically low interest rate environment.
Specialty Contractors Segment
Revenue and income from construction operations for the Specialty Contractors segment are summarized as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)20212020
Revenue$324.8 $282.3 
Income from construction operations1.3 8.3 
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased 15% compared to the same period in 2020. The growth was principally driven by increased electrical and mechanical project execution activities on a project in the Northeast.

Despite the revenue increase, income from construction operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased $7.0 million compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to unfavorable adjustments on two mechanical projects that were immaterial individually and in the aggregate.
Operating margin was 0.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to 2.9% for the same period in 2020. The decrease was principally due to the aforementioned factors that drove the changes in revenue and income from construction operations.
New awards in the Specialty Contractors segment totaled $158 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $226 million for the same period in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and could continue to result in, reduced demand from certain commercial and government customers that have been experiencing funding constraints.
Backlog for the Specialty Contractors segment was $1.7 billion as of March 31, 2021 compared to $2.3 billion as of March 31, 2020. The Specialty Contractors segment continues to be increasingly focused on servicing the Company’s backlog of large Civil and Building segment projects, but also remains well-positioned to capture its share of new projects for external customers, leveraging the size and scale of our business units that operate in New York, Texas, Florida and California and the strong reputation held by these business units for high-quality work on large, complex projects.
Corporate, Tax and Other Matters
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate general and administrative expenses were $12.9 million and $10.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses.

(in millions)20212020
Other income, net$0.2 $0.5 
Interest expense(17.8)(16.4)
Income tax expense(7.0)(5.1)
The effective tax rate was 21.7% and 16.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The higher effective income tax rate for the 2021 period primarily reflects the absence of the favorable impact recognized in the 2020 period associated with the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) on March 27, 2020. Under the CARES Act, the Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) generated in 2019 was allowed to be carried back to tax years when the federal statutory tax rate was 35% rather than the current rate of 21%, consequently generating a larger tax benefit from the NOL than the benefit recognized prior to the CARES Act. The favorable impact to the tax rate resulting from the CARES Act was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of restricted stock unit vesting, for which a portion of the share-based compensation expense was not deductible for income tax purposes. For a further discussion of income taxes, refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is provided by available cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, credit facilities and access to capital markets. We have a committed line of credit totaling $175 million, which may be used for revolving loans, letters of credit and/or general purposes. We believe that cash generated from operations, along with our unused credit capacity of $175 million and available cash balances as of March 31, 2021, will be sufficient to fund any working capital needs and debt maturities for the next 12 months, provided that we are not adversely impacted by unanticipated future events, including a material increase in the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed above in COVID-19 Update.
Cash and Working Capital
Cash and cash equivalents were $318.7 million as of March 31, 2021 compared to $374.3 million as of December 31, 2020. Cash immediately available for general corporate purposes was $176.8 million and $210.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, with the remainder being amounts held by our consolidated joint ventures and also our proportionate share of cash held by our unconsolidated joint ventures. Cash held by our joint ventures was available only for joint venture-related uses, including distributions to joint venture partners. In addition, our restricted cash and restricted investments totaled $156.1 million as of March 31, 2021 compared to $156.5 million as of December 31, 2020. Restricted cash and restricted investments are primarily held to secure insurance-related contingent obligations and to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Convertible Notes (see Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $46.7 million, due primarily to investments in project working capital partially offset by cash generated from earnings sources. The increase in working capital for the first three months of 2021 primarily reflects a decrease in accounts payable due to timing of payments to suppliers and subcontractors and a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable due to the timing of collections. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $34.0 million due primarily to investments in project working capital partially offset by cash generated from earnings sources. The change in working capital primarily reflected an increase in accounts receivable due to timing of collections, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable due to timing of payments to suppliers and subcontractors.
Cash flow from operating activities decreased $12.7 million when comparing the first three months of 2021 with the same period of 2020. The decrease in cash from operating activities in the first three months of 2021 compared to 2020 substantially reflects an increase in investment in working capital primarily as a result of a current-year decrease in accounts payable compared to an increase in the prior year due to timing of payments to vendors and subcontractors and a current-year decrease in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings compared to an increase in the prior year, partially offset by a current-year decrease in accounts receivable compared to an increase in the prior year.
Cash used in investing activities during the first three months of 2021 was $5.4 million primarily due to the acquisition of property and equipment for projects totaling $9.8 million, partially offset by net cash provided from investment transactions of $4.0 million. Cash used in investing activities during the first three months of 2020 was $14.6 million, primarily due to the acquisition of property and equipment for projects and investment in securities.

Table of Contents
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.1 million and $50.6 million, for the first three months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities for the 2020 period was primarily driven by increased net borrowings of $64.8 million, partially offset by $13.5 million of cash distributions to noncontrolling interests.
At March 31, 2021, we had working capital of $1.9 billion, a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.88 and a ratio of debt to equity of 0.65, compared to working capital of $1.8 billion, a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.80 and a ratio of debt to equity of 0.66 at December 31, 2020.
Debt
2020 Credit Agreement
On August 18, 2020, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2020 Credit Agreement”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer and other lenders. The 2020 Credit Agreement provides for a $425.0 million term loan B facility (the “Term Loan B”) and a $175.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2020 Revolver”), with sublimits for the issuance of letters of credit and swing line loans up to the aggregate amounts of $75.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively. The Term Loan B will mature on August 18, 2027 and the 2020 Revolver will mature on August 18, 2025, in each case, unless any of the 2017 Senior Notes are outstanding on January 30, 2025 (which is 91 days prior to the maturity of the 2017 Senior Notes), in which case, both the Term Loan B and the 2020 Revolver will mature on January 30, 2025 (subject to certain further exceptions). For more information regarding the terms of our 2020 Credit Agreement, refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
