Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(Amounts in millions, except shares and where noted otherwise) NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of business
APi Group Corporation (the “Company” or “APG”) is a global, market-leading business services provider of fire and life safety, security, elevator and escalator, and specialty services with a substantial recurring revenue base and over 500 locations worldwide.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Interim Statements”) include the accounts of the Company and of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These Interim Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 were derived from audited financial statements for the year then ended but do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP with respect to annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the Interim Statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the dates and periods presented. It is recommended that these Interim Statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year or for any future period.
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash is reported as other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Restricted cash reflects collateral against certain bank guarantees.
Investments
The Company holds investments in joint ventures, the majority of which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company does not exercise control over the joint ventures. The Company exercises control over one joint venture that is consolidated into the Company's financial statements and the results for that joint venture for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were immaterial. The Company’s share of earnings from the non-consolidated joint ventures was $2 and $3 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The earnings are recorded within investment expense and other, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The investment balances were $6 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and are recorded within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Stock Split
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company executed a three-for-two stock split by issuing a stock dividend of one-half of one share of common stock for each share of common stock. The Company retained the current par value of $0.0001 per share for all common shares. All references to the number of shares outstanding, issued shares, and per share amounts of the Company’s common shares have been restated to reflect the effect of the stock split for all historical periods presented in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto.
NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See discussion below for information pertaining to the effects of recent accounting pronouncements as updated from the discussion in the Company's Form 10-K filed on February 25, 2026.
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue transactions accounted for under FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company's annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with
early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2026, and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements, which enhances the Codification to clarify accounting guidance, correct errors and make technical corrections. This ASU is effective for all entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures but does not expect the impact to be material.
NOTE 3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Company regularly evaluates potential acquisitions that strategically fit with the Company’s existing portfolio or expand the Company’s portfolio into a new and attractive business area. Acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. As such, the Company makes a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In the months after closing, as the Company obtains additional information about the acquired assets and liabilities and learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Purchase price is allocated to acquired assets and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values, with limited exceptions as permitted pursuant to GAAP, as determined based on estimates and assumptions deemed reasonable by the Company. The Company engages third-party valuation specialists to assist with preparation of critical assumptions and calculations of the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets in connection with significant acquisitions. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired businesses, the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses bring to existing operations, and the opportunities in new markets expected to be achieved from the expanded platform.
2026 Acquisitions
On February 2, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of CertaSite, LLC ("CertaSite"), an inspection-first provider of fire and life safety services. The results of the CertaSite business are reported within the Company's Safety Services segment from the date of acquisition and were not material. Consideration transferred of $271 for CertaSite included cash paid at closing of $268 and cash deposited in escrow of $3.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company completed four individually immaterial acquisitions for aggregate consideration transferred of $25, made up of cash paid at closing of $19 and accrued consideration of $6. The results of operations of these acquisitions are included in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition and were not material.

The Company has not finalized its accounting for any of the acquisitions completed during 2026 and will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement periods, as required. Based on preliminary estimates, the total amount of goodwill from acquisitions expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $122. See Note 6 – “Goodwill and Intangibles” for the provisional goodwill assigned to each segment.
2025 Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company completed 14 acquisitions for total net consideration transferred of $235, made up of cash paid at closing of $186, cash deposited into escrow of $17, and accrued consideration of $32. The results of operations of these acquisitions are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations from their respective dates of acquisition and were not material.

| Net assets acquired | $ | 235 | |
The Company has not finalized its accounting for 13 of the acquisitions completed during 2025 and will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement periods, as required. Based on preliminary estimates, the total amount of goodwill from acquisitions expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $118.
Accrued consideration
The Company’s acquisition purchase agreements typically include deferred payment provisions, often to sellers who become employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. The provisions are made up of three general types of arrangements, contingent compensation, contingent consideration (both of which are contingent on the future performance of the acquired entity), and deferred payments related to indemnities. Contingent compensation arrangements are typically contingent on the former owner’s future employment with the Company and the related amounts are recognized over the required employment period, which is typically one to four years. Contingent consideration arrangements are not contingent on employment and are included as part of purchase consideration at the time of the initial acquisition and are paid over a period of one to four years. The liability for deferred payments is recognized at the date of acquisition based on the Company’s best estimate and is typically payable over a period of one to three years. Deferred payments are not contingent on any future performance or employment obligations and can be offset for working capital true-ups and representations and warranty items.
The total contingent compensation arrangement liability was $7 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The maximum payout of these arrangements upon completion of the future performance periods was $15, inclusive of the $7, accrued as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The contingent compensation liability is included in contingent consideration and compensation liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. The Company primarily determines the contingent compensation liability based on forecasted cumulative earnings compared to the cumulative earnings target set forth in the arrangement. Compensation expense associated with these arrangements is recognized ratably over the required employment period.
The contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value each reporting period and changes in estimates of fair value are recognized in earnings. For additional considerations regarding the fair value of the Company's contingent consideration liabilities, see Note 7 – "Fair Value of Financial Instruments."
The total liability for deferred payments was $44 and $39 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is included in contingent consideration and compensation liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.
NOTE 4. RESTRUCTURING
During 2022, the Company announced its multi-year Chubb restructuring program designed to drive efficiencies and synergies and optimize operating margin. The Chubb restructuring program included expenses related to workforce reductions, lease termination costs, and other facility rationalization costs. As of the second quarter of 2025, the Chubb restructuring program ended and no additional expenses have since been incurred.
The following table summarizes the Company's restructuring liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2026 | | 2025 |
| Balance at beginning of period | $ | 13 | | | $ | 15 | |
| Payments | (3) | | | (4) | |
| Balance at end of period | $ | 10 | | | $ | 11 | |
In addition to the costs noted above, the Company incurred no asset write-down costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company incurred program related costs of $0 and $2 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
NOTE 5. NET REVENUES
Contracts with customers
The Company derives net revenues primarily from contracts with a duration of less than one week to five years (with the majority of contracts with durations of less than six months), which are subject to multiple pricing options, including fixed price, unit price, time and material, or cost plus a markup. Net revenues are primarily recognized by the Company over time utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress. Net revenues recognized at a point in time primarily relate to distribution contracts and short-term time and material contracts. The Company also enters into fixed-price service contracts related to monitoring, maintenance, and inspection of safety systems.
The Company disaggregates its net revenues primarily by segment, service type, and country from which revenues are invoiced, as the nature, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows are relatively consistent within each of these categories. The following tables provide disclosure of disaggregated net revenues by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Disaggregated net revenues information is as follows:

For in-process contracts, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations at March 31, 2026 was $3,772. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 80% of the remaining performance obligations over the next twelve months.
Contract assets and liabilities
Contract assets and contract liabilities are classified as current in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as all amounts are expected to be relieved within one year. The balances of accounts receivable, net of allowances, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Accounts receivable, net of allowances | | Contract assets | | Contract liabilities |
| Balance at March 31, 2026 | $ | 1,545 | | | $ | 538 | | | $ | 773 | |
| Balance at December 31, 2025 | 1,563 | | | 484 | | | 694 | |
The Company did not recognize significant revenues associated with the final settlement of contract value for any projects completed in prior periods. In accordance with industry practice, accounts receivable includes retentions receivable, a portion of which may not be received within one year. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, retentions receivable were $180 and $187, respectively, while the portions that may not be received within one year were $41 and $48, respectively.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance discusses valuation techniques such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. As the basis for evaluating such inputs, a three-tier value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions.
Recurring fair value measurements
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities (adjusted to fair value at least quarterly) are derivative instruments and contingent consideration obligations. In the condensed consolidated balance sheets, derivative instruments are primarily included in other assets and other noncurrent liabilities and contingent consideration obligations are primarily included in contingent consideration and compensation liabilities.
The following tables summarize the fair values and levels within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements fall for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Total | $ | — | | | $ | (5) | | | $ | (16) | | | $ | (21) | |
The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments designated as hedge instruments using standard pricing models and market-based assumptions for all inputs, including yield curves and spot and forward exchange rates. Accordingly, the Company’s derivative instruments are classified as Level 2.
Contingent consideration obligations
The value of the contingent consideration obligations is determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow method. This fair value measurement is based on unobservable inputs in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the purchase agreements (e.g., potential payment amounts, length of measurement periods, manner of calculating any amounts due) and utilizes assumptions
with regard to future cash flows, probabilities of achieving such future cash flows, and a discount rate. Depending on the contractual terms of the purchase agreement, the probabilities of achieving future cash flows or earnings generally represent the only significant unobservable inputs. The contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value each reporting period and changes in estimates of fair value are recognized in earnings.
The table below presents a reconciliation of the fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration obligations that use unobservable inputs, as well as other information about the contingent consideration obligations:
| | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 |
| Balance as of December 31, 2025 | $ | 16 | |
| Issuances | 2 | |
| Settlements | (1) | |
| Adjustments to fair value | (1) | |
| Balance as of March 31, 2026 | $ | 16 | |
| Number of open contingent consideration arrangements at the end of the period | 10 | |
| Maximum potential payout at the end of the period | $ | 18 | |
At March 31, 2026, the remaining open contingent consideration arrangements are set to expire at various dates through 2028. Level 3 unobservable inputs were used to calculate the fair value adjustments shown in the table above. The fair value adjustments and the related unobservable inputs were not considered significant for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Fair value estimates
The following table presents the carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s variable and fixed rate debt (instruments defined in Note 10 – “Debt”), including current portions and excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. Fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows at currently available rates for borrowing arrangements with similar terms and conditions, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. The interest rates of the variable interest rate long-term debt instruments are generally reset monthly, however can be set quarterly or semi-annually.

NOTE 8. DERIVATIVES
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swaps, and interest rate swaps to manage risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates, net investments in foreign operations, and interest rates. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments of a speculative nature or for trading purposes. The Company records derivatives as assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings unless the derivative qualifies and is designated as a hedge under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Cash flows from derivatives are classified in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships. The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis. If a derivative is no longer expected to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued.
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance of counterparties for foreign currency forward exchange contracts, cross currency swaps, and interest rate swap agreements. The Company monitors its exposure to credit risk by using credit approvals and credit limits and by selecting major global banks and financial institutions as counterparties. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes, and is not party to any derivatives that require collateral to be posted prior to settlement.
Certain of the Company’s derivative transactions are subject to master netting arrangements that allow the Company to net settle contracts with the same counterparties. These arrangements do not call for collateral and no cash collateral had been received or pledged related to the underlying derivatives as of March 31, 2026.

Currency Effects
The expense (income) from derivatives designed to offset foreign currency revaluation, recorded in investment expense and other, net, are offset by foreign currency transaction gains and losses, resulting in a net loss of $1 and $0 for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Cash flow hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.
Interest rate swaps
The Company manages its fixed and floating rate debt mix using interest rate swaps. The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to separate interest rate risk management from the debt funding decision. The Company elected a method that does not require continuous evaluation of hedge effectiveness.
The Company has an aggregate $720 notional amount interest rate swap ("2026 Interest Rate Swap") and aggregate $400 notional swaps ("2028 Interest Rate Swap"). The 2026 Interest Rate Swap exchanges a variable rate of interest (SOFR) for an average fixed rate of interest of approximately 3.59% over the term of the agreement, which matures in October 2026. The 2028 Interest Rate Swap exchanges a variable rate of interest (SOFR) for an average fixed rate of interest of approximately 3.41% over the term of the agreements, which mature in January 2028.
During 2024, the Company entered into a $720 notional amount forward starting interest rate swap that exchanges a variable rate of interest (SOFR) for an average fixed rate of interest of approximately 3.13% over the term of the agreement, commencing in October 2026 and maturing in January 2029 ("2029 Interest Rate Swap"). Upon commencement, the 2029 Interest Rate Swap will cover the remainder of the interest payments starting in October 2026 to the maturity of the 2021 Term Loan.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $1,840 notional amount outstanding in the 2026 Interest Rate Swap, the 2028 Interest Rate Swap, and the 2029 Interest Rate Swap. The Company has designated these swaps as cash flow hedges of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest (SOFR) payments for its SOFR based term loan of $2,157. As of March 31, 2026, the weighted average fixed rate of interest on these swaps was approximately 3.52%. Variations in the assets and liability balances related to the swaps are primarily driven by changes in the applicable forward yield curves related to SOFR.
Cross-currency swaps
The Company enters into cross-currency exchange contracts utilized to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and to hedge exposures of certain intercompany loans subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company periodically assesses whether its currency exchange contracts are effective,
and when a contract is determined to be no longer effective as a hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.
During 2021, the Company entered into two cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges with gross notional U.S. dollar ("USD") equivalent amounts of $26 and $94 with maturity dates of September 2027 and 2030, respectively.
Foreign currency forward contracts
The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted foreign currency transactions, including inventory purchases and intercompany charges and other payments. These forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value of these contracts are recorded in other comprehensive income until the hedged items affect earnings, at which time the hedge gain or loss is reclassified into current earnings. The Company periodically assesses whether its currency exchange contracts are effective, and when a contract is determined to be no longer effective as a hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.
Fair value hedges
The Company uses cross-currency swaps designated as fair value hedges to manage exposure from intercompany loans subject to foreign exchange risks. During 2024, an Australian dollars ("AUD") swap with a notional amount of $16 and a maturity date in June 2029 was added to the existing British pounds ("GBP"), Canadian dollars ("CAD" or "C$"), and Euros ("EUR" or "€") swaps, which had a total notional amount of $721 and a maturity date in January 2027. During 2025, the Company partially terminated its CAD swap, resulting in the reclassification of $2 of losses from AOCI to interest expense, net in its consolidated statements of operations. Following the partial termination of the CAD swap, the remaining notional amount outstanding was $689.
The Company measures the effectiveness of fair value hedges on a spot-to-spot basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair values are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and perfectly offset the spot-to-spot change in the underlying intercompany loans, and as such, these hedges are deemed highly effective. The excluded component of the fair values of these derivatives is reported in AOCI within shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Net investment hedges
The Company has net investments in foreign subsidiaries subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a $701 notional foreign currency swap designated as a net investment hedge ("2025 net investment hedge") for a portion of the Company’s net investments in Euro-denominated subsidiaries. In 2021, the Company entered into a $230 notional foreign currency swap designated as a net investment hedge ("2021 net investment hedge") for a portion of the Company’s net investments in Euro-denominated subsidiaries. Gains and losses resulting from a change in fair value of the net investment hedges are offset by gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency exposure and are included in AOCI in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of its net investment hedges at inception and on an ongoing basis. If a net investment hedge is no longer expected to be effective, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.
In 2021, the Company amended the critical terms of the 2021 net investment hedge by extending the maturity date to July 2029 and modifying the USD and EUR coupons. The amended swap was redesignated as a net investment hedge and is recorded at fair value with changes recorded in AOCI. The initial net investment hedge was dedesignated. The fair value previously recognized in AOCI related to interest rate movements of the dedesignated swap is being amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis through the third quarter of 2029 and is less than $1 annually.
Foreign currency contracts
The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on confirmed foreign currency transactions, including inventory purchases and intercompany charges and other payments. These forward contracts are undesignated for hedge accounting purposes. The changes in fair value of these contracts are recorded in investment expense and other, net.

Term loan facility
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $2,157 of principal outstanding under the incremental term loan (the "2021 Term Loan") with a maturity date of January 3, 2029. The interest rate applicable to the 2021 Term Loan is, at the Company's option, either (1) a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.75% or (2) Term SOFR rate (adjusted for statutory reserves) plus an applicable margin equal to 1.75%.
The interest rate applicable to borrowings under the $750 five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) is, at the Company’s option, either (1) a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 0.25%, or (2) a Term SOFR rate (adjusted for statutory reserves) plus an applicable margin equal to 1.25%.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and $745 was available at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 after giving effect to $5 of outstanding letters of credit.
During 2025, the Company completed its Eighth Amendment to its credit agreement, which increased the Revolving Credit Facility from $500 to $750, extended the facility's maturity to five years from the date of the Eighth Amendment, reduced the
applicable margin by 75 basis points, and eliminated the credit spread adjustment ("CSA"). The Company also completed its Seventh Amendment to its credit agreement, repricing the 2021 Term Loan. The repricing reduced the applicable margin on the 2021 Term Loan by 25 basis points.
During 2024, the Company completed its Sixth Amendment to its credit agreement, refinancing the 2021 Term Loan by increasing its principal amount by approximately $550, lowering the interest margin by 50 basis points, and removing the CSA. The Company also completed its Fifth Amendment to its credit agreement, upsizing its 2021 Term Loan by an aggregate principal amount equal to $300.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants.
Swap activity
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had the 2026 Interest Rate Swap with $720 of notional value, exchanging one-month SOFR for a fixed rate of 3.59% per annum and the 2028 Interest Rate Swap with aggregate $400 notional value, exchanging one-month SOFR for a rate of 3.41%. Accordingly, the Company's fixed interest rate per annum on the swapped $720 notional value of the term loans is 5.34% and the swapped $400 notional value of the term loans is 5.16% through the maturity of the swaps. The remaining $1,037 of the term loan balance will bear interest based on one-month SOFR plus 175 basis points, and the rate will fluctuate as SOFR fluctuates. During 2024, the Company entered into a $720 notional amount forward starting interest rate swap commencing in October 2026 and maturing in January 2029 that exchanges a variable rate of interest (SOFR) for an average fixed rate of interest of approximately 3.13% over the term of the agreement. Refer to Note 8 – "Derivatives" for additional information.
Senior notes
4.125% Senior Notes
During 2021, the Company completed a private offering of $350 aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes (the “4.125% Senior Notes”) issued under an indenture dated June 22, 2021. The 4.125% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The balance as of March 31, 2026 was $337.
4.750% Senior Notes
During 2021, the Company completed a private offering of $300 aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "4.750% Senior Notes") issued under an indenture dated October 21, 2021, as supplemented by a supplemental indenture dated January 3, 2022. The 4.750% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The balance as of March 31, 2026 was $277.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the indentures for the 4.125% Senior Notes and 4.750% Senior Notes as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
Other obligations
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $5 in notes outstanding for working capital purposes and the acquisition of equipment and vehicles.
NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s quarterly income tax provision is measured using an estimate of its consolidated annual effective tax rate, adjusted in the current period for discrete income tax items, within the periods presented. The Company’s effective tax rate was 19.9% and 23.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate between the periods was primarily due to the current year increase in windfall tax benefit for vested shares. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 is due to the windfall tax benefit for vested shares partially offset by nondeductible permanent items, taxes on foreign earnings in jurisdictions that have higher tax rates, and state taxes.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s deferred tax assets included a valuation allowance of $105 primarily related to certain net operating loss, capital loss, and tax credit carryforwards of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization were the past performance of the related entities, forecasts of future taxable income, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. The ability or failure to achieve the forecasted taxable income in these entities could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had gross federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1, $20, and $68, respectively, foreign capital loss carryforwards of $216, and foreign credit carryforwards of $39. The federal net operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely. The state net operating losses have carryforward periods of five to twenty years and begin to expire in 2029. The foreign attributes generally have carryforward periods of twenty years, which begin to expire in 2026, or can be carried forward indefinitely, subject to utilization rules.
The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits is recorded within other noncurrent liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the total gross unrecognized tax benefits were $9. The Company accrued gross interest and penalties as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 of $4. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized net interest expense of less than $1 for both periods.
If all of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2026 were recognized, $12 would impact the Company’s effective tax rate.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2026, with few exceptions, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are subject to examination prior to tax year 2015. There are various other audits in state and foreign jurisdictions.
On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” was enacted into law. The legislation includes several changes to federal tax law including permanent extension of certain expiring Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions and modifications to US taxation of foreign activity. Certain provisions are effective for 2026. The Company has evaluated the impact of the legislation and incorporated the applicable tax provisions into its condensed consolidated financial statements for the current reporting period.
NOTE 12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Defined benefit pension plans
The Company sponsors both funded and unfunded foreign defined benefit pension plans that cover a portion of the Company's employees, and the largest plans are closed to new participants and frozen for accrual of future service.
The components of the net periodic pension cost for the defined benefit pension plans are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2026 | | 2025 |
| Service cost | $ | 1 | | | $ | 1 | |
| Interest cost | 16 | | | 16 | |
| Expected return on plan assets | (17) | | | (17) | |
| Amortization of actuarial losses | 6 | | | 5 | |
| Net periodic pension cost | $ | 6 | | | $ | 5 | |
Multiemployer pension plans
Certain subsidiaries of the Company contribute amounts to multiemployer pension plans and other multiemployer benefit plans and trusts, which are recorded as a component of employee wages and salaries within cost of revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Contributions are generally based on fixed amounts per hour per employee for employees covered under these plans. Multiemployer plan contribution rates are determined annually and assessed on a pay-as-you-go basis based on union employee payrolls. Union payrolls cannot be determined for future periods because the number of union employees employed at a given time and the plans in which they participate vary depending upon the location, the number of ongoing projects, and the need for union resources in connection with those projects. Total consolidated contributions to multiemployer plans were $25 and $21 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Profit sharing plans
The Company has a trustee-administered profit-sharing retirement plan covering substantially all of the Company's employees in the U.S. not covered by collective bargaining agreements and a profit sharing plan for employees in Canada (collectively, “Profit Sharing Plans”). The Profit Sharing Plans provide for annual discretionary contributions in amounts
based on a performance grid as determined by the Company’s directors, which may be settled in shares of the Company's common stock or in cash. In connection with these plans, the Company recognized $11 and $9 in expense for shares distributed to eligible employees during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Employee stock purchase plan
Most of the Company’s employees in the U.S. and Canada, including named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock under the ESPP are generally made pursuant to offerings that are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The ESPP permits employees of the Company to purchase common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of (i) the market value of the common stock on the first day of the offering period, or (ii) the market value of the common stock on the purchase date, whichever is lower. Participants are subject to eligibility requirements and may not purchase more than 500 shares in any offering period or more than ten thousand dollars of common stock in a year under the ESPP. The Company recognized $2 of expense during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
NOTE 13. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company incurred advisory fees of $1 during both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, in each case payable to Mariposa Capital, LLC, an entity owned by a co-chair of the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, dividends for Series A Preferred Stock declared as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were settled in 15,212,810 shares and 3,815,493 shares, respectively, issued during January 2026 and January 2025, respectively. The shares were issued to Mariposa Acquisition IV, LLC, a related entity that is controlled by a co-chair of the Company's Board of Directors.
From time to time, the Company also enters into other immaterial related-party transactions.
NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various litigation matters and is subject to claims from time to time from customers and various government entities. While it is not feasible to determine the outcome of any of these uncertainties, it is the opinion of management that their outcomes will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
Environmental obligations
The Company's operations are subject to environmental regulation by various authorities. The Company has accrued for the costs of environmental remediation activities, including but not limited to investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs, and performance guarantees, and periodically reassesses these amounts. Management believes that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of the amounts accrued is remote.
The outstanding liability for these obligations of $12 and $13 was included in other noncurrent liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
NOTE 15. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
Shareholders' equity
Series A Preferred Stock
The Company had 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2026 ("Series A Preferred Stock"). As a result of the three-for-two stock split completed in the second quarter of 2025, the Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into 6,000,000 shares of common stock upon conversion on the last day of 2026 pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.
Stock Repurchases
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program ("2025 SRP") to purchase up to $1,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The timing, amount and manner of any repurchases under the new repurchase program will be determined at the discretion of the Company's leadership based on a number of factors, including the availability of capital, capital allocation alternatives, and market conditions for the common stock. The share repurchase program is open-ended and does not require the Company to acquire any specific number of shares. It may be modified, suspended, extended, or terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice and may be executed through open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, and the Company may enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading
plans in connection with such repurchases. This new authorization replaces the Company's previous share repurchase authorization announced in 2024 ("2024 SRP"). Prior to the new authorization, the Company repurchased 3,095,573 shares of common stock for approximately $75 under the 2024 SRP. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $1,000 of authorized repurchases remaining under the 2025 SRP.
Authorized Shares
During the second quarter of 2025, upon the recommendation of the Company's Board of Directors, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, from 500,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 shares.
Stock Split
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company executed a three-for-two stock split by issuing a stock dividend of one-half of one share of common stock for each share of common stock. No shares of common stock were issued to the holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the stock split. The Series A Preferred Stock will convert to 6,000,000 shares of common stock upon conversion as a result of the stock split. The Company retained the current par value of $0.0001 per share for all common shares. All references to the number of shares outstanding, issued shares, and per share amounts of the Company’s common shares have been restated to reflect the effect of the stock split for all historical periods presented in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto.
NOTE 16. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income is allocated between the Company’s common shares and other participating securities based on their participation rights. The Series A Preferred Stock represent participating securities. Earnings attributable to Series A Preferred Stock are not included in earnings attributable to common shares in calculating earnings per common share (the two-class method). For periods of net loss, there is no impact from the two-class method on earnings per share (“EPS”) as net loss is allocated to common shares because Series A Preferred Stock shares are not contractually obligated to share the loss.
The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per common share using the two-class method. The dilutive effect of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock dividend is reflected in diluted EPS using the if-converted method and restricted shares and performance shares are reflected using the treasury stock method.

(1)For all periods presented, 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares as their inclusion would be anti‑dilutive. These shares are convertible to 6,000,000 common shares, as a result of the June 30, 2025 stock split. For additional information regarding the stock split, see Note 15 – "Shareholders' Equity and Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock."
(2)For the three months ended March 31, 2026, dilutive securities include common share equivalents which represent the annual dividend, payable in the form of common shares or cash at the Company's sole option, that Series A Preferred Shares would be entitled to receive assuming that the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares for the last ten trading days of the period would be the same average price during the last ten trading days of the calendar year. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an annual dividend based on the increase in the market price of the Company’s common stock (the "Annual Dividend Amount"). The Annual Dividend Amount is equal to 20% of the increase in the volume-weighted average market price per share of the Company’s common shares for the last ten trading days of the calendar year, multiplied by 211,791,957 shares. During 2026, the Annual Dividend amount was calculated based on the appreciation of the Company’s share price over the highest previously used share price of $38.8096.
NOTE 17. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company manages its operations under three operating segments which represent the Company’s two reportable segments: Safety Services, comprised of the North American Life Safety and International Life Safety operating segments, and Specialty Services. This structure is generally comprised of various businesses related to contracted services, inspections, and monitoring of industrial and commercial facilities. The segments have separate management and have results that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer and President, who acts as the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), for the purpose of allocating resources and evaluating performance, identifying them as separate reportable segments.
The Safety Services segment focuses on fire protection solutions, electronic security systems, and elevators and escalators, including the design, installation, inspection, service, and monitoring of these life safety systems. The work performed within this segment spans across a diverse mix of end markets with a focus on high tech services, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, fulfillment and distribution centers, and critical infrastructure.
The Specialty Services segment provides a variety of specialty contracting, fabrication and distribution, and infrastructure and utility services. The work within this segment spans across a diverse mix of end markets with a focus on critical infrastructure, high tech services, and healthcare throughout North America.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.” All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Intercompany revenues and costs between entities within a reportable segment are eliminated to arrive at segment totals, and eliminations between segments are separately presented.
Segment earnings is the measure of profitability used by the CODM to manage the segments and, accordingly, in segment reporting. Segment earnings is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and after adjustments for non-recurring items. Adjustments include expenses that management deems are non-recurring in nature and not indicative of the Company’s core operating results. These adjustments include contingent consideration and compensation, non-service pension cost, systems and business enablement expenses, business process transformation expenses, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, restructuring program related costs, and other miscellaneous items.
The CODM establishes budgets for the segments, including growth of segment earnings. The CODM considers segment earnings budget-to-actual variances when making decisions about allocating capital to the segments. Segment earnings is also used in the compensation of certain employees and to assess the performance of each segment by regularly comparing the results of each segment with forecasted amounts. The CODM uses segment earnings to evaluate its performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because it excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results for its reportable segments. The CODM does not review assets and capital expenditures by segment.
Summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments are presented and reconciled to consolidated financial information in the following tables, including a reconciliation of segment earnings to income before income taxes:

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). These forward-looking statements are based on beliefs and assumptions as of the date such statements are made and are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms including “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “potential,” “target,” “would,” and similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying terms.
These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions and on information currently available to management and include, among others, statements regarding, as of the date such statements are made:
•our beliefs and expectations regarding our business strategies and competitive strengths;
•our beliefs regarding procurement challenges and the nature of our contractual arrangements and renewal rates and their impact on our future financial results;
•our beliefs regarding our acquisition and divestiture platform and ability to execute acquisitions and divestitures and successfully integrate strategic acquisitions;
•our beliefs regarding the future demand for our services, the seasonal and cyclical volatility of our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows;
•our beliefs regarding the recurring and repeat nature of our business, customers and revenues, and its impact on our cash flows and organic growth opportunities and our belief that it helps mitigate the impact of economic downturns;
•our intent to continue to grow our business, both organically and through acquisitions, and our beliefs regarding the impact of our business strategies on our growth;
•our beliefs regarding our customer relationships and plans to grow existing business and expand service offerings;
•our beliefs regarding our ability to pass along price increases in supplies and materials to our customers;
•our expectations regarding the cost of compliance with laws and regulations;
•our expectations regarding labor matters;
•our beliefs regarding market risk, including our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, and our ability to mitigate that risk;
•our expectations and beliefs regarding accounting and tax matters;
•our beliefs regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting;
•our expectations regarding future capital expenditures;
•our expectations regarding our enterprise resource planning systems implementations;
•our expectations regarding future pension contributions; and
•our beliefs regarding the sufficiency of our current sources of liquidity to fund our future liquidity requirements, our expectations regarding the types of future liquidity requirements and our expectations regarding the availability of future sources of liquidity.
These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and elsewhere in this quarterly report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 25, 2026, including those described under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in such Form 10-K, and other filings we make with the SEC. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this quarterly report may not occur, and actual results could differ materially and
adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that may materially affect the forward-looking statements include the following:
•we operate in both domestic and international markets, which subjects us to economic, political, and other risks;
•we may not implement our new enterprise resource planning systems successfully, on time, and on budget;
•as we increase our reliance on cloud-based applications and platforms to operate our businesses, any disruption or interference with these platforms could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations;
•improperly managed projects or project delays may result in additional costs or claims against us;
•we are a decentralized company and place significant decision-making authority with our subsidiaries’ leadership, supported by certain integrated policies and processes;
•as part of our business strategy, we rely on our ability to successfully execute acquisitions and divestitures and to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, and our inability to do so could adversely affect our business and results of operations;
•higher interest rates increase the interest costs on our credit facilities and on our other floating rate indebtedness and could impact adversely our ability to refinance existing indebtedness or to sell assets;
•adverse developments in the credit markets could adversely affect funding of significant projects and our ability to secure financing, take advantage of acquisition opportunities, or achieve our growth objectives;
•our level of indebtedness, and the associated compliance obligations contained in the financial covenants in our credit facilities and restrictions on our operations set forth in the Credit Agreement (as later defined), increases the potential negative impact of interest rate increases and creates risks to our cash flow and operating flexibility;
•a significant portion of our revenue is recognized over time based on estimates of contract revenue, costs, and profitability, and our reliance on such projections carries risk of a reduction or reversal of previously recorded revenue or profits;
•we are self-insured against many potential liabilities, which makes estimating our future expenses for claims difficult and which increases the financial risks associated with the realization of such potential liabilities;
•we carry a significant amount of goodwill, identifiable intangible assets, and fixed assets that are subject to impairment in the future under certain circumstances;
•any shortfalls in our operation and maintenance of effective controls over financial reporting creates certain risks;
•we may not accurately estimate the costs associated with services provided under fixed price contracts;
•a portion of our contracts allocate the risks of price increases in supplies and materials to us;
•our contracts portfolio contains many highly-regulated government contracts and guaranties of subsidiary contracts, which present elevated risks in the event of contract breach, as well as elevated risks in the event of changes in spending or budgetary priorities, or delays in contract awards;
•our backlog is subject to reduction or cancellation, and revenues may be realized in different periods than initially reflected in backlog;
•we maintain a workforce based upon current and anticipated workloads. We could incur significant costs and reduced profitability from underutilization of our workforce if we do not receive future contract awards, if contract awards are delayed, or if there is a significant reduction in the level of services we provide. Additionally, shortages of skilled labor could impede our ability to provide timely, cost-effective services to our customers;
•a large portion of our workforce is covered by collective bargaining agreements, works council arrangements and pension plans, which limits our discretion in the management of covered employees, carries a risk of strikes or other concerted activities that may impair our operations, subjects us to potential works council claims and litigation and imposes obligations to fund certain pension plans;
•we are vulnerable to the economic conditions affecting the industries we serve, including the construction, technology, energy exploration, and related industries, which present risks of a decline in demand for our
services or in the financial condition of our customers and their ability and willingness to invest in infrastructure projects;
•a portion of our expected future growth is based on the ability and willingness of public and private entities to invest in infrastructure;
•our business is subject to operational hazards due to the nature of services we provide and the conditions in which we operate, including some factors which may be outside of our control, including electricity, fires, explosions, mechanical failures and weather-related incidents;
•in our business we face regular litigation across a broad range of claims, including health, safety, and environmental regulation proceedings, as well as costs related to damages we may be assessed relating to our contractual obligations, or as a result of product liability claims against our customers;
•our success ultimately depends on our ability to successfully compete in the highly competitive industries and markets we serve, which may be jeopardized by the loss of key senior leadership personnel or a shortage of highly skilled personnel;
•certain of the markets we serve are seasonal, and our projects can be negatively impacted by poor or extreme weather;
•we operate as a holding company, and as such rely on our subsidiaries to provide cash for our operations and obligations, including distributions and dividends, if any;
•we have outstanding equity instruments that require us to issue additional shares of common stock in the future and we may issue additional preferred stock or make other changes to our ownership structure to generate additional capital. These activities may dilute your ownership interests and, among other reasons, reduce the value of our common stock;
•we may issue preferred stock in the future and the terms of the preferred stock may reduce the value of our common stock;
•as part of our incorporation and bylaws in Delaware, we are subject to certain provisions that limit stockholders' actions;
•our stock price may be volatile and, as a result, stockholders could lose a significant portion or all of their investment;
•we maintain confidential data and information which exposes us to risks associated with cybersecurity incidents and compliance with data privacy and security laws, identity protection and information security; and
•we face risks associated with deterioration in our performance of services, increases in healthcare costs, significant employee misconduct, adverse regulatory changes and changes in accounting principles, all of which may negatively impact our operations and financial results.
The factors identified above are believed to be important factors, but not necessarily all of the important factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by us. Other factors not discussed herein could also have a material adverse effect on us. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available in the future, except as required by applicable law.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as others made in this quarterly report and hereafter in our other SEC filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made by us in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
