Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1.Description of Business
Organization Structure
Centuri Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Centuri”) is a holding company incorporated in Delaware. Substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted through Centuri Group, Inc. (the “Operating Company”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings.
Holdings completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) in April 2024. Following the IPO, the Company’s former parent, Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. (“Southwest Gas Holdings”), reduced its ownership interest through a series of secondary offerings and private placements which culminated in Southwest Gas Holdings no longer owning any equity interest in the Company effective September 5, 2025. Accordingly, the Company no longer qualifies as a “controlled company” under the New York Stock Exchange rules.
Description of Operations
The Company is a North American utility and energy infrastructure services company, and it partners with regulated utilities to maintain, upgrade, and expand the energy network that powers millions of homes and businesses. The Company’s service offerings primarily consist of the modernization of utility infrastructure through the replacement, maintenance, retrofitting and installation of electric and natural gas distribution and utility-scale transmission networks and building capacity to meet current and future demands. The Company operates through a family of complementary companies working together across different geographies to establish solid customer relationships and a strong reputation for a wide range of capabilities.
In November 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of the equity interests in Connect Atlantic Utility Services Corporation (“Connect”), an Atlantic Canada electric utility services provider. Connect’s results are included in the Canadian Operations segment. Connect’s revenue during the first fiscal quarter of 2026 was approximately $23.2 million, and Connect’s earnings were not material. The Company did not record any measurement period adjustments during the first fiscal quarter of 2026. Due to the estimations made, the final purchase accounting has not yet been completed and further refinements may occur.
2.Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows with respect to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations and comprehensive loss for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. The results of the Company have historically been subject to significant seasonal fluctuations.
The Company uses a 52/53-week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday closest to the end of the calendar year. Unless otherwise stated, references to months, quarters and years in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements relate to fiscal months, quarters and years rather than calendar months, quarters and years. The first fiscal quarters of 2026 and 2025 ended on March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, respectively, and each period had 13 weeks.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The update enhances the level of detail available related to reporting about expenses. This update will be effective for the Company beginning with the annual reporting for the fiscal year ending 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the rules will have on its disclosures.
3.Revenue and Related Balance Sheet Accounts
The following table presents the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by contract type (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Fiscal Three Months Ended | | |
| March 29, 2026 | | March 30, 2025 | | | | | | |
| Contract Type: | | | | | | | | | |
| Master services agreements | $ | 534,060 | | | $ | 419,249 | | | | | | | |
| Bid contracts | 189,114 | | | 130,832 | | | | | | | |
| Total revenue | $ | 723,174 | | | $ | 550,081 | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| Unit-price contracts | $ | 379,041 | | | $ | 285,228 | | | | | | | |
| Time and materials contracts | 193,399 | | | 135,040 | | | | | | | |
| Fixed-price contracts | 150,734 | | | 129,813 | | | | | | | |
| Total revenue | $ | 723,174 | | | $ | 550,081 | | | | | | | |
Contract assets and liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 29, 2026 | | December 28, 2025 | | |
| Current contract assets | $ | 347,823 | | | $ | 395,126 | | | |
| Non-current contract assets | 35,113 | | | 30,927 | | | |
| Contract assets, total | 382,936 | | | 426,053 | | | |
| Contract liabilities | (58,428) | | | (50,510) | | | |
| Net contract assets | $ | 324,508 | | | $ | 375,543 | | | |
Contract assets primarily consist of revenue recognized on contracts in progress in excess of billings, which relates to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not yet billed and/or approved at the reporting date, including retention amounts. Revenue earned on contracts in progress in excess of billings are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. Contract assets that are not expected to be billed and collected within one year of the financial statement date (“Non-current contract assets”) are classified as other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company applies the same approach to accounts receivable it does not expect to collect within one year.
Current contract assets included retention balances of approximately $39.5 million and $40.6 million as of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, respectively, which are typically billed and collected upon project completion.
On occasion, the Company recognizes revenue related to contract claims and unapproved change orders. Contract claims and unapproved change orders occur when there is a dispute between the Company and a customer regarding a change in the scope of work and associated price for work already performed, and/or when the Company otherwise performs work above the scope of the initial contract without customer approval. As of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, the Company had recorded approximately $53.8 million ($22.0 million non-current in other assets) and $47.8 million ($19.7 million non-current in other assets), respectively, in contract assets related to contract claims and unapproved change orders.
Total contract assets decreased $43.1 million during the fiscal three months ended March 29, 2026 as the completion of milestones and customer approvals allowed for billing of amounts included in contract assets as of December 28, 2025.
Contract assets are recoverable from the Company’s customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of a contract. In addition, many of
the Company’s time and materials (“T&M”) contract arrangements are billed in arrears pursuant to contract terms that are standard within the industry, resulting in revenue earned on contracts in progress in excess of billings and/or unbilled receivables being recorded as revenue is recognized in advance of billings. The lag in billing due to the aforementioned contractual provisions may create circumstances in which material changes to a customer’s business, cash flows or financial condition, which may be impacted by negative economic or market conditions, could affect the Company’s ability to bill and subsequently collect amounts due. These changes may result in the need to record an estimate of the amount of loss from uncollectible receivables.
Contract liabilities primarily consist of amounts billed in excess of revenue earned related to the advance consideration received from customers for which work has not yet been completed. The increase in the contract liabilities balance of $7.9 million from December 28, 2025 to March 29, 2026 was due to additional payments received in advance of work completed, net of approximately $30.9 million of revenue recognized that was included in the balance as of December 28, 2025.
The Company considers retention and unbilled amounts to customers to be conditional contract assets, as payment is contingent on the occurrence of a future event. Accounts receivable, net, includes only amounts that are unconditional in nature, which means only the passage of time remains and the Company has invoiced the customer. Similarly, contract liabilities include amounts billed in excess of revenue earned on contracts in progress related to fixed-price, unit-price and T&M contracts.
For contracts where payment is expected to be collected less than one year from when services are performed (as determined at contract inception), the Company uses the practical expedient and does not consider the time value of money. For contracts with an original duration of one year or less, the Company has not disclosed the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of the end of each reporting period or the related timing of revenue recognition.
As of March 29, 2026, the Company had 62 fixed-price contracts with an original duration of more than one year. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations of these contracts as of March 29, 2026 was $444.7 million. The Company expects to recognize substantially all of these remaining performance obligations of these contracts over approximately the next two years; however, the timing of that recognition is largely within the control of the customer, including when the necessary equipment and materials required to complete the work will be provided by the customer.
Accounts receivable, net consisted of the following (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 29, 2026 | | December 28, 2025 |
| Billed on completed contracts and contracts in progress | $ | 351,691 | | | $ | 312,003 | |
| Other receivables | 2,318 | | | 2,699 | |
| Accounts receivable, gross | 354,009 | | | 314,702 | |
| Allowance for doubtful accounts | (955) | | | (37) | |
| Accounts receivable, net | $ | 353,054 | | | $ | 314,665 | |
4.Segment Information
The Company’s reportable segments are: (i) U.S. Gas Utility Services (“U.S. Gas”); (ii) Canadian Utility Services (“Canadian Operations”); (iii) Union Electric Utility Services (“Union Electric”); and (iv) Non-Union Electric Utility Services (“Non-Union Electric”). Canadian Operations includes the results of Connect, which was acquired in November 2025.
The Company’s president and chief executive officer serves as the Company's chief operating decision maker (the "CODM"). The Company’s reportable segments are established in consideration of differences in services, geographic areas and workforce composition (union vs. non-union). The Company has not aggregated any operating segments into reportable segments. The CODM reviews short-term and long-term trends and budget-to-actual variances in gross profit to assess performance across the different segments in determining where to allocate resources.
U.S. Gas
U.S. Gas provides comprehensive services, including maintenance, replacement, repair, and installation for local natural gas distribution utilities (“LDCs”) focused on the modernization of customers’ infrastructure throughout the United
States. The work performed within this segment includes solutions for all stages of utility work and is performed primarily within the distribution, utility-scale transmission and end-user infrastructure, rather than large-scale, project-based, cross-country transmission. In addition, U.S. Gas performs other underground services, including water and fiber, and has an in-house fabrication shop providing pipe and component assembly. The Company is able to cater to the needs of its gas utility services and energy customers by serving union and non-union markets.
Canadian Operations
Canadian Operations provides comprehensive services, including maintenance, replacement, repair, and installation for local gas and electric utilities and energy providers. A majority of the work performed in this segment is focused on distribution, urban transmission and end-user interface under master service agreements (“MSAs”) for gas and electric utilities. This segment also provides storm response services and performs construction of electrical systems used in renewable energy projects.
Union Electric
Union Electric provides a comprehensive set of electric utility services encompassing maintenance, replacement, repair, storm response, upgrade and expansion services for urban transmission and local distribution infrastructure within union markets. The work performed within this segment is focused primarily on recurring local distribution and urban transmission services under MSAs, as opposed to large-scale, project-based, cross-country transmission, and services are primarily focused on infrastructure between the substation and end-user meter. In addition to core electric utility infrastructure, this segment provides heavy industrial work, including civil, mechanical, electrical, and fabrication (component assembly) services.
Non-Union Electric
Non-Union Electric provides a comprehensive set of electric utility services encompassing maintenance, replacement, repair, storm response, upgrade and expansion services for urban transmission and local distribution infrastructure within non-union markets. The work performed within this segment is focused almost exclusively on recurring local distribution and urban transmission services under MSAs as opposed to large-scale, project-based, cross-country transmission, and services are primarily focused on infrastructure between the substation and end-user meter.
Other
Other consists of any corporate and non-allocated transactions.

5.Per Share Information
The amounts used to compute basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common stock consisted of the following (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Fiscal Three Months Ended | | |
| March 29, 2026 | | March 30, 2025 | | | | | | |
| Amounts attributable to common stock: | | | | | | | | | |
| Net loss attributable to common stock | $ | (9,527) | | | $ | (17,937) | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| Weighted average shares: | | | | | | | | | |
| Weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common stock | 100,789 | | | 88,518 | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
There were no dilutive securities for any periods presented due to the Company recording a net loss, and therefore the denominator for basic and diluted loss per share was the same for all periods. Potentially dilutive shares that would have been dilutive if the Company had recorded net income were not material for the fiscal three months ended March 29, 2026 or March 30, 2025.
6.Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility
In September 2024, the Company entered into a three-year accounts receivable securitization facility for an aggregate amount of up to $125.0 million (the “Securitization Facility”), with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC"), to enhance the Company's financial flexibility by providing additional liquidity.
Under the Securitization Facility, certain designated subsidiaries of the Company may sell or contribute their accounts receivable and contract assets generated in the ordinary course of their businesses and certain related assets to an indirect wholly owned bankruptcy-remote Special Purpose Entity (“SPE”) of the Company created specifically for this purpose. The SPE is a variable interest entity, and the Company is the primary beneficiary and therefore consolidates the SPE. The SPE transfers ownership and control of accounts receivable to PNC for payments as set forth in the agreement. The Company accounts for accounts receivable sold to the banking counterparty as a sale of financial assets and has derecognized the accounts receivable from the condensed consolidated balance sheet for the current period.
The total outstanding balance of accounts receivable that had been sold and derecognized was $125.0 million as of March 29, 2026. The Company had no unused capacity on the Securitization Facility as of both March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025.
As of March 29, 2026, the SPE owned $39.6 million in accounts receivable and $116.8 million in contract assets that were not sold to PNC. As of December 28, 2025, the corresponding amounts were $60.2 million and $115.6 million. These balances are primarily included in accounts receivable, net and contract assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, with certain non-current balances included in other assets.
During the fiscal three-month periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, the Company incurred $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in yield fees on the Securitization Facility, which were recorded in interest expense, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On May 4, 2026, the Company signed an amendment to the Securitization Facility which increased the capacity from $125.0 million to $165.0 million.

(1)Fair values as of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025 were determined using discount rates commensurate with the Company’s credit rating.
On August 27, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement. The agreement provided for a $1.145 billion secured term loan facility, at a discount of 1.00%, and a $400 million secured revolving credit facility. On July 9, 2025, the Company signed the sixth amendment to its amended and restated credit agreement to refinance and replace in full the existing term loan facility with an $800 million term loan facility, $93.6 million of which was comprised of new term loans used to refinance existing indebtedness and $706.4 million of which was used to refinance existing term loans. This amendment also increased the maximum principal amount of the senior secured revolving credit facility from $400 million to $450 million. This multi-currency facility allows the Company to request loan advances in either Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the revolving line of credit portion of the facility are available
to be re-borrowed. The Company’s term loan facility is set to mature on July 9, 2032, and the revolving credit facility is set to mature on July 9, 2030.
The obligations under the credit agreement are secured by present and future ownership interests in substantially all direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, substantially all of the tangible and intangible personal property of each borrower, and all products, profits, and proceeds of the foregoing. The Company’s assets securing the facility as of March 29, 2026 totaled $2.3 billion. The credit agreement also contains a restriction on dividend payments with an available amount generally defined as $65.0 million plus 50% of the Company’s consolidated net income since the beginning of the third fiscal quarter of 2025 adjusted for certain items, such as parent capital contributions, redeemable noncontrolling interest payments, and dividend payments, among other adjustments, as applicable.
The applicable margin for the revolving credit facility ranges from 1.25% to 2.25% for SOFR and Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) loans and from 0.25% to 1.25% for base rate loans, depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio. The term loan facility has a fixed margin of 1.00% for base rate loans and 2.00% for SOFR loans. The table below summarizes the weighted average interest rates on the term loan facility and revolving credit facility as of the end of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| March 29, 2026 | | December 28, 2025 |
| Term loan facility | 5.67 | % | | 6.12 | % |
| Revolving credit facility | 3.82 | % | | 4.54 | % |
The Company is required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.50 to 1.00 for any future quarter ending prior to September 30, 2026, and 4.00 to 1.00 for any quarter ending on or after September 30, 2026. The Company is also required to maintain an interest coverage ratio of greater than a minimum of 2.50 to 1.00.
As of March 29, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the revolving credit facility. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments which ranges from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum, depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio.
As of both March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $0.7 billion under its amended and restated credit agreement. The amount available under the revolving line of credit is further reduced by the amount of any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company under the agreement. Accordingly, there was $303.9 million, net of outstanding letters of credit, of unused capacity on the revolving line of credit as of March 29, 2026. The Company had $68.6 million of unused letters of credit available as of both March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025. Debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s line of credit are amortized over the term of the related line of credit. As of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, there was $2.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, in debt issuance costs recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of March 29, 2026, the Company had $32.6 million of surety-backed letters of credit issued outside of its amended and restated credit agreement.
Debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s term loan facility are amortized over the term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method. As of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, debt issuance costs of $10.4 million and $10.8 million, respectively, were recorded as a reduction to long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs is recorded as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the fiscal three months ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, amortization of debt issuance costs was $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively.
As of March 29, 2026, the Company had six U.S. equipment term loans with initial amounts totaling approximately $150.0 million, with certain owned equipment used as collateral. The loans are serviced in U.S. dollars.
The fair value of the Company’s debt as of both March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025 was $0.7 billion. The carrying value of the Company’s revolving credit facility approximates fair value given interest rates on the revolving credit facility approximate market rates, and typically draws on the revolving credit facility are paid back in a short period of time. The fair values of the Company’s term loan facility and equipment loans were determined utilizing a market-based
valuation approach, where fair values are determined based on evaluated pricing data, and as such are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
10.Leases
The Company has operating and finance leases for corporate and field offices, equipment yards, construction equipment and transportation vehicles. The Company is currently not a lessor in any significant lease arrangements. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of up to 12 years. Some of these leases include options to extend the leases, generally for optional terms of up to five years, and some include options to terminate the leases within one year. The equipment leases may include variable payment terms in addition to the fixed lease payments if machinery is used in excess of the standard work periods. The occurrence of these variable payments is not probable under the Company’s current operating environment and has not been included in consideration of lease payments. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are classified as short-term leases and are not recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets unless the lease contains a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, or unless it is reasonably certain that the equipment or property will be leased for greater than 12 months. Due to the seasonality of the Company’s operations, expense for short-term leases will fluctuate throughout the year with higher expense typically incurred during the periods when revenue is the greatest. As of March 29, 2026, the Company did not have any significant executed lease agreements that had not yet commenced.

Certain leases require the Company to pay variable property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs that have been excluded from the minimum lease payments in the above tables as they are variable in nature.
11.Income Taxes
The Company’s current quarter provision for income taxes was prepared using the annual effective tax rate adjusted to remove discrete items, as those items will impact the quarter in which those items were reflected. The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal three-month periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025 was 45.0% and 42.3%, respectively. Effective tax rates for both periods were impacted by the disproportionate amount of non-deductible expenses in relation to loss before income taxes. Additionally, differences in income (loss) before income taxes by jurisdiction caused fluctuations in the effective tax rate when comparing periods.
The Company regularly evaluates valuation allowances established for deferred tax assets for which future realization is uncertain, including in connection with changes in tax laws. The Company maintains a valuation allowance on certain state net operating loss carryforwards and for Canadian capital losses. Such valuation allowances are released as the related tax benefits are realized or when sufficient evidence exists to conclude that it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized.
There were no unrecognized tax benefits recorded relating to uncertain tax positions as of March 29, 2026 or December 28, 2025.
As of March 29, 2026, with certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local, or Canadian examinations for years before fiscal year 2019.

Southwest Gas Holdings
Overview
Southwest Gas Holdings was formerly the Company’s parent and held a controlling interest in the Company until August 11, 2025, when its ownership decreased to 31%. On September 5, 2025, Southwest Gas Holdings sold all of its remaining ownership interest in the Company. The Company still considers Southwest Gas Holdings to be a related party as Southwest Gas Holdings’ chief executive officer and director is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.
Related party transactions
The Company performs various construction services for Southwest Gas Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Southwest Gas Holdings. The following table represents the Company’s revenue in dollars and as a percentage of total revenue as well as gross profit in dollars and as a percentage of total gross profit relating to contracts with Southwest Gas Corporation (in thousands):

As of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, approximately $9.0 million (3%) and $11.9 million (4%), respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable, and $2.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of contract assets, were related to contracts with Southwest Gas Corporation. There were no significant related party contract liabilities as of March 29, 2026 or December 28, 2025 with Southwest Gas Corporation.
Agreements related to the Separation from Southwest Gas Holdings
In connection with the Company’s IPO and separation from Southwest Gas Holdings, Holdings previously entered into a Separation Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, and Registration Rights Agreement with Southwest Gas Holdings. Following Southwest Gas Holdings’ disposition of its remaining ownership interest in Centuri on September 5, 2025, many provisions of these agreements, including Southwest Gas Holdings’ governance rights and registration rights, have terminated or are no longer applicable.
The remaining provisions primarily relate to customary indemnification and cooperation obligations. As of the date of this report, there are no known claims, proceedings, or contingencies that would require indemnification by or to the
Company under these agreements, and the ongoing obligations are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
On February 24, 2025, the Company entered into an Unutilized Tax Assets Settlement Agreement (the “Tax Assets Agreement”) with Southwest Gas Holdings, which governs the treatment of certain unutilized tax assets (the “Tax Assets”) retained by the Company following its deconsolidation from Southwest Gas Holdings for purposes of U.S. federal and relevant state income tax laws. Under the terms of the Tax Assets Agreement, such Tax Assets were initially treated as deemed capital contributions and recorded within additional paid‑in capital. After Southwest Gas Holdings’ ownership of the Company decreased below 50%, subsequent adjustments to Tax Assets were reflected as an adjustment to income tax benefit in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Tax Assets allocated to the Company remain subject to true‑up until after Southwest Gas Holdings files its U.S. federal and applicable state income tax returns for tax year 2025. Any future changes resulting from the true‑up process will be reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no changes during the first fiscal quarter of 2026.
Riggs Distler noncontrolling interest
In November 2021, certain members of management of Riggs Distler, a subsidiary of the Company, acquired a 1.42% interest in the parent company of Riggs Distler, Drum Parent LLC (“Drum”). The remaining noncontrolling interest in Drum outstanding as of March 29, 2026 was 0.80%.
14.Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is a named party in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business. Although the ultimate outcomes of active matters are currently unknown, the Company does not believe any liabilities resulting from these known matters will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, unless otherwise stated below.
NPL Construction Co. (“NPL”), a subsidiary of the Operating Company, is currently pursuing a contract claim for damages against the City of Chicago and related parties (collectively, the “City”), arising out of work that NPL performed for the City. NPL initiated this dispute through the City’s required administrative process on August 26, 2019. In response to NPL’s claim, the City has taken the position that it is entitled to withhold payments on amounts NPL believes it is owed for work already completed, claiming that further corrective work by NPL on the project is necessary and that withholding payment is appropriate until remediation is complete. On July 18, 2024, the administrative agency issued a decision denying NPL’s claim for damages. The Company disagrees with the decision of the administrative agency, and NPL filed a petition seeking a review of the administrative agency’s decision by the Circuit Court of Cook County Illinois on November 8, 2024. On April 20, 2026, the Circuit Court entered an interlocutory memorandum opinion and order addressing some, but not all, of NPL’s claims, with the remaining claims requiring later briefing and argument. The Company intends to vigorously pursue this matter, including undertaking further legal analysis of the Circuit Court’s recent interlocutory memorandum opinion and order; however, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome. The Company may be entitled to additional revenue if all of its claims for relief are awarded in the Company’s favor. However, to the extent the Company is not successful in collecting the withheld receivables, this matter could result in an additional significant loss, which is not currently estimable due to uncertainties with respect to the proceedings. The Company can provide no assurance as to whether or when there will be material developments in this matter. The Company has not accrued any reserves for this matter to date.
The Company maintains liability insurance for various risks associated with its operations. In connection with its liability insurance policies, the Company is responsible for an initial deductible or self-insured retention amount per occurrence, after which the insurance carriers would be responsible for amounts up to the policy limits.
Employment Agreements
The Company has employment agreements with certain executives and other employees, which provide for compensation and certain other benefits and for severance payments under certain circumstances. Certain employment agreements also contain severance clauses that become effective upon a change in control of the Company. Upon the
occurrence of certain defined events in the various employment agreements, the Company would be obligated to pay varying amounts to the related employees, which vary with the level of the employees’ respective responsibilities.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company provides full-service utility infrastructure services to various customers, primarily utility companies that are located throughout the U.S. and Canada. The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk related primarily to its revenue and accounts receivable and contract asset positions with customers, which is defined as greater than or equal to 10% of the Company’s consolidated balances. During the fiscal three months ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, one Non-Union Electric segment customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue, which was $94.5 million (13% of total revenue) and $56.1 million (10% of total revenue), respectively. As of March 29, 2026 and December 28, 2025, one Non-Union Electric segment customer had a combined accounts receivable and contract assets balance above 10% of the consolidated accounts receivable and contract assets balance, which was $163.2 million and $131.9 million, respectively, or approximately 23% and 19%, respectively, of the consolidated balance of these accounts.
The Company primarily uses two financial banking institutions. The Company’s cash on deposit with these financial institutions exceeded the federal insurability limits as of March 29, 2026. The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents are managed by high credit quality financial institutions.
Bonds and Parent Guarantees
Many customers, particularly in connection with new construction, require the Company to post performance and payment bonds. These bonds provide a guarantee that the Company will perform under the terms of a contract and pay its subcontractors and vendors. In certain circumstances, the customer may demand that the surety make payments under the bond, and the Company must reimburse the surety for any expenses or outlays it incurs. The Company may also be required to post letters of credit as collateral in favor of the sureties, which would reduce the borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility. As of March 29, 2026, the Company was not aware of any outstanding material obligations for payments related to these bond obligations.
Performance bonds expire at various times ranging from mechanical completion of a project to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances, and therefore a determination of maximum potential amounts outstanding requires certain estimates and assumptions. Such amounts can also fluctuate from period to period based upon the mix and level of the Company’s bonded operating activity. As of March 29, 2026, the estimated total amount of outstanding performance and payment bonds was approximately $820.3 million. The Company’s estimated maximum exposure related to the value of the performance bonds outstanding is lowered on each bonded project as the cost to complete is reduced, and each commitment under a performance bond generally extinguishes concurrently with the expiration of its related contractual obligation. The estimated cost to complete these bonded projects was approximately $351.7 million as of March 29, 2026.
Additionally, from time to time, the Company guarantees certain obligations and liabilities of its subsidiaries that may arise in connection with, among other things, contracts with customers, and equipment and real estate lease obligations. These guarantees may cover all of the subsidiary’s unperformed, undischarged and unreleased obligations and liabilities under or in connection with the relevant agreement. The Company is not aware of any claims under any guarantees that are material. The responsibility under a guarantee could exceed the amount recoverable from the subsidiary alone and could materially and adversely affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
15.Stock-based Compensation
The Company maintains a stock-based compensation plan, which authorizes the granting of various equity-based incentives, including restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”). Stock-based compensation expense is amortized on a straight line basis over the service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of the Company’s RSU and PSU awards is measured at the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. PSUs are earned based on the achievement of certain performance metrics in relation to a set target, and stock compensation expense may fluctuate based on the forecasted achievement prior to vesting or actual achievement of these target metrics upon vesting.
RSU grants to employees generally vest ratably on an annual basis over a three-year period following the grant date, although some awards may vest ratably on an annual basis over two years or cliff vest at the end of a shorter time period.
RSU grants to non-employee directors typically vest at the end of a one-year period. PSU grants generally cliff vest at the end of a three-year period following the grant date. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur.
Stock-based compensation expense totaled approximately $2.2 million and $1.6 million for the fiscal three-month periods ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025, respectively.
The table below summarizes activity related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans during the first fiscal quarters of 2025 and 2026.

(1)PSUs granted under the Company’s 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan were initially measured assuming target achievement of the applicable performance goals. One‑third of the total units were eligible to be earned based on performance for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025. Following certification of performance results for this one-year period, earned units were converted into RSUs based on the level of achievement (105.1% of target) certified, as only the passage of time remains.
As of March 29, 2026, total unearned compensation related to Centuri stock RSUs and PSUs was approximately $11.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively. These amounts are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years and 2.3 years, respectively.
