The company's future results could be adversely affected by the matters discussed in the Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Risk Factors and Legal Proceedings sections of the filing. The company estimates it will spend approximately $270 million on capital expenditures, or approximately $200 million, net of asset disposals, in 2026, and expects to incur approximately $230 million to $255 million of equipment purchases under finance leases and other financing arrangements. Actual capital expenditures may increase or decrease in the future depending upon business activity levels, as well as ongoing assessments of equipment lease and other financing arrangements versus purchase decisions based on management's evaluation of short and long-term equipment requirements.

Changes to laws, governmental regulations and policies, including those pertaining to governmental permitting, tax incentives, government funding programs and spending policies, as well as advances in artificial intelligence, could affect demand for the company's services, or cause delays or cancellations of projects. Tariff and trade actions by the United States and other countries could have a material adverse effect on the company's business, financial condition, and results of operations, as these actions have increased the cost of importing certain construction materials into the U.S., including steel, concrete and solar panels. The company's failure to properly manage projects, or project delays, including those resulting from difficult work sites and environments, permitting issues and the availability of materials or equipment could result in additional costs or claims. The company derives a significant portion of its revenue from a few customers, and the loss of one or more of these customers, or a reduction in their demand for its services, could impair its financial performance. The company is self-insured up to the amount of its deductible for its insurance policies, with per claim deductibles of $2.0 million for its workers' compensation policy and $25.0 million for each of its general liability and automobile liability policies, and as of December 31, 2025, the estimated gross liability for unpaid claims and associated expenses totaled $306.8 million ¹.
