Business Outlook
The company expects continued demand for new or expanded transmission, substation and distribution infrastructure to reliably transport power to meet demand driven by electrification, data centers and manufacturing reshoring, as well as the modification and reengineering of existing infrastructure with increasing penetration of renewable generation and battery storage and the increased investment in new gas-powered generation. Utility and other customers are increasing their investment in various forms of power generation in response to load growth expectations, which have accelerated based on demand for electricity driven by data centers, manufacturing and reshoring, industrialization, electrification and power grid expansion. The company believes it is well positioned to provide turnkey infrastructure solutions for data center facilities, such as critical-path low-voltage electrical infrastructure solutions inside data centers; high-voltage substation, transformer and transmission interconnection infrastructure to connect the facilities to the power grid; and generation infrastructure necessary to power the facilities. The company also sees opportunities to provide fiber and other services in and around data centers, and to interconnect data centers.
Through recent acquisitions, the company has expanded its capabilities and solutions related to turnkey mechanical, plumbing and process infrastructure solutions, which it believes position it to meet strong demand for these services by data center, manufacturing, semiconductor and other large load facilities and provide opportunities in other core end markets. The company has also expanded its capabilities and solutions related to civil solutions through recent acquisitions, which allows it to meet strong demand for these services. The company believes that customers in the Underground and Infrastructure segment are implementing strategies to reduce carbon emissions produced from their operations, which are providing incremental opportunities for its services and could include building or repurposing pipeline infrastructure, including the development of infrastructure for blending hydrogen into natural gas flow and carbon capture projects. The favorable characteristics of natural gas could also position North America as a leading competitor in the global LNG export market, which could provide additional opportunities for the company's pipeline service offerings.The company expects substantial capital expenditures and commitments for equipment purchases and equipment lease and rental arrangements to be needed into the foreseeable future in order to meet anticipated demand for its services. The company expects capital expenditures for property and equipment purchases for the year ended December 31, 2026 to be approximately $750 million to $800 million 30. The company also expects to continue to allocate significant capital to strategic acquisitions and investments, as well as to pay dividends and to repurchase its outstanding common stock and/or debt securities.
The company expects capital expenditures for property and equipment purchases for the year ended December 31, 2026 to be approximately $750 million to $800 million 31. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the company repurchased $134.6 million 32 of common stock and paid $60.4 million 33 in dividends. As of December 31, 2025, the company had $365,095,093 34 remaining under its stock repurchase program authorized through June 30, 2026.
The company's revenues and results of operations can be subject to seasonal and other variations influenced by weather, customer spending patterns, bidding seasons, receipt of required regulatory approvals, permits and rights of way, project timing and schedules, and holidays. Revenues are generally lowest in the first quarter of the year because cold, snowy or wet conditions can create challenging working environments or cause delays on projects. Second quarter revenues are typically higher than those in the first quarter, and third quarter and fourth quarter revenues are typically the highest of the year. The company also faces risks related to the availability of skilled labor, as the pool of skilled workers in certain industries has been reduced due to an aging utility workforce and longer-term labor availability issues, and the cyclical nature of certain industries can create shortages of qualified labor during periods of high demand.
The company faces structural headwinds including the impact of changes in climate, which have caused changes to meteorological and hydrological patterns that have impacted the frequency and intensity of wildfires, hurricanes, floods, droughts, winter storms and other severe weather-related events and natural disasters. These changes have and could continue to significantly impact the company's future operating results. Additionally, the company is exposed to risks associated with operating in international markets and U.S. territories, including changes in applicable regulatory requirements, political instability, unfamiliar legal systems, and complex tax regulations. The company also faces risks related to the availability and price of fuel, materials or equipment necessary for its business or its customers' projects, which could be materially impacted by supply chain and other logistical challenges, global trade relationships, and other general market and geopolitical conditions.
Risk Factors
The company's business is subject to operational hazards, including wildfires and explosions, that can result in significant liabilities, and the company may not be insured against all potential liabilities. The company's captive insurance company reimburses claims up to the amount of the applicable deductible of any third-party insurance programs, which in certain circumstances can be up to $70.0 million 35 per occurrence. The company's business is labor-intensive, and it may be unable to attract and retain qualified employees, with approximately 69,500 36 employees as of December 31, 2025, of which approximately 36% 37 were covered by collective bargaining agreements. The company has a significant amount of debt, with approximately $5.23 billion 38 of outstanding long-term debt, net of current maturities, as of December 31, 2025, and $2.42 billion 39 of aggregate undrawn borrowing capacity under its senior credit facility and commercial paper program. The company's variable rate indebtedness subjects it to interest rate risk, as 16% 40 of its debt portfolio incurred interest at a variable-rate as of December 31, 2025. The company faces risks related to the collectability of accounts receivable and contract assets, with $983.6 million 41 recognized related to unapproved change orders and claims as of December 31, 2025.
Management Priorities
Management's message emphasizes that the company's 2025 results reflect increased demand for its services, as consolidated revenues and operating income increased compared to 2024, with increased revenues and operating income in both the Electric and Underground and Infrastructure segments. Management states that utilities are continuing to invest significant capital in their electric power delivery systems through multi-year grid modernization and reliability programs, as well as system upgrades and hardening programs in response to recurring severe weather events. Management also notes strong demand from utility customers driven by increasing demand for electricity associated with data centers and other technology-related dynamics, domestic manufacturing reshoring initiatives and overall electrification trends. Management expects the strong demand for its services will continue, noting that remaining performance obligations and backlog were $23.76 billion 42 and $43.98 billion 43 as of December 31, 2025, representing increases of 41.8% 44 and 27.3% 45 relative to December 31, 2024. The strategic priorities emphasized include delivering and continuing to expand the portfolio of infrastructure solutions to existing and potential customers, developing technological and training capabilities, remaining committed to the safety of employees, and maintaining an entrepreneurial culture throughout the organization.
