Item 1. Business of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.OverviewThe following table presents selected financial data for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands, except for percentages and per share data): For the three months endedJune 30, 20252024Revenues$4,304,400 $3,666,897 Revenues increase from prior year17.4 %20.4 %Gross profit$833,771 $684,001 Gross profit as a percentage of revenues19.4 %18.7 %Operating income$415,212 $332,808 Operating income as a percentage of revenues9.6 %9.1 %Net income$302,160 $247,572 Diluted earnings per common share$6.72 $5.25 Revenues of $4.30 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 set a new quarterly record for the Company and represent an increase of 17.4% from revenues of $3.67 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Demand for our services continues to be strong across most of the market sectors we serve and, as described in further detail below, we experienced revenue growth within all of our reportable segments, except for our United States industrial services segment. Revenues for the second quarter of 2025 included incremental acquisition contribution of approximately $330.3 million.Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $415.2 million, establishing a new quarterly record for the Company, and operating margin was 9.6%, a record for the Company with respect to a second quarter. This compares to operating income of $332.8 million, or 9.1% of revenues, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The $82.4 million increase in operating income, and corresponding 50 basis point expansion in operating margin, were predominantly a result of improved operating performance within our United States construction segments, as described in further detail below. Operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 included incremental acquisition contribution of $9.2 million, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $12.5 million.Net income of $302.2 million, or $6.72 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compares favorably to net income of $247.6 million, or $5.25 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. While the majority of the increase in our net income and diluted earnings per share was a result of the increased operating income referenced above, diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 additionally benefited from a reduced weighted average share count given the impact of common stock repurchases made by us throughout 2024 and the first half of 2025.32Table of ContentsImpact of AcquisitionsIn order to provide a more meaningful period-over-period discussion of our operating results, we may discuss amounts generated or incurred (revenues, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, and operating income) from companies acquired. These amounts reflect the acquired companies' operating results in the current reported period only for the time period these entities were not owned by EMCOR in the comparable prior reported period. For further discussion regarding our acquisitions, refer to Note 4 - Acquisitions of Businesses of the notes to consolidated financial statements.During the first quarter of 2025, we completed the acquisition of Miller Electric Company ("Miller Electric"), a leading electrical contractor predominantly operating across the Southeastern United States, for total consideration of approximately $868.6 million. The results of operations for Miller Electric have been included within our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment. In addition, during the first half of 2025, we acquired three companies for upfront consideration of $38.8 million, inclusive of customary working capital adjustments. Such acquisitions include: (a) a company in the Midwestern region of the United States that provides building automation controls and solutions to commercial, institutional, and industrial customers, (b) a company that adds capabilities to our national fire protection offerings, and (c) a provider of mechanical construction and maintenance services in the Western region of the United States. The results of operations of these three companies have been included within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment.We acquired seven companies during calendar year 2024 for upfront consideration of $231.1 million, inclusive of customary working capital adjustments. These acquisitions are comprised of: (a) an electrical contractor in the Southeast region of the United States, that has been included in our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment, (b) two companies that have been included within our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment, including: (i) a leading plumbing services provider in the Southeast region of the United States and (ii) a full service provider of mechanical construction and maintenance services in Central Texas, (c) three companies that have been included in our United States building services segment, including: (i) a provider of building automation and controls solutions in the Northeast region of the United States, (ii) a mechanical services company in the Western region of the United States, and (iii) a mechanical services company in the Eastern region of the United States, and (d) an instrumentation and electrical contractor, that has been included in our United States industrial services segment, which provides electrical, automation, digital integration, and fabrication services to various energy sector and process equipment customers.Results of OperationsRevenuesThe following tables present our operating segment revenues from unrelated entities and their respective percentages of total revenues (in thousands, except for percentages): For the three months ended June 30, 2025% ofTotal2024% ofTotalRevenues:United States electrical construction and facilities services$1,340,247 31 %$799,994 22 %United States mechanical construction and facilities services1,755,258 41 %1,655,181 45 %United States building services793,259 18 %781,108 21 %United States industrial services281,072 7 %324,047 9 %Total United States operations4,169,836 97 %3,560,330 97 %United Kingdom building services134,564 3 %106,567 3 %Consolidated revenues$4,304,400 100 %$3,666,897 100 % For the six months ended June 30, 2025% ofTotal2024% ofTotalRevenues:United States electrical construction and facilities services$2,428,091 29 %$1,564,705 22 %United States mechanical construction and facilities services3,327,860 41 %3,082,846 43 %United States building services1,535,882 19 %1,562,268 22 %United States industrial services640,074 8 %678,100 10 %Total United States operations7,931,907 97 %6,887,919 97 %United Kingdom building services239,865 3 %211,254 3 %Consolidated revenues$8,171,772 100 %$7,099,173 100 %33Table of ContentsAs described in more detail below, due to strong demand for our services across most of the market sectors we serve, our consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased to $4.30 billion compared to $3.67 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and our consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased to $8.17 billion compared to $7.10 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024. We experienced revenue growth within the majority of our reportable segments, with the most significant increases being generated from our United States construction segments. Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included incremental acquisition contribution of approximately $330.3 million and $581.2 million, respectively.Revenues of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment were $1,340.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a $540.3 million increase compared to revenues of $800.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Revenues of this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $2,428.1 million, an $863.4 million increase compared to revenues of $1,564.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This segment's results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included $321.3 million and $507.6 million, respectively, of incremental acquisition revenues, almost entirely from Miller Electric. From a market sector perspective, increased revenues were generated from nearly all of the sectors we serve. While the largest increase in revenues was seen within the network and communications market sector, predominantly driven by greater demand for data center construction projects, this segment also experienced notable revenue growth within: (a) the healthcare market sector, as a result of greater project activity across several of the geographies in which we operate, (b) the commercial market sector, inclusive of certain office and tenant fit-out projects, (c) the institutional market sector, given an increase in revenues from public sector projects, and (d) the transportation market sector, due to certain infrastructure projects currently underway. Revenues of this segment for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 additionally benefited from greater levels of short-duration projects and service work.Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $1,755.3 million, a $100.1 million increase compared to revenues of $1,655.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, revenues of this segment were $3,327.9 million, a $245.0 million increase compared to revenues of $3,082.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This segment's results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included $4.0 million and $51.3 million, respectively, of incremental acquisition revenues. Similar to our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment, this segment experienced the most significant increase in revenues within the network and communications market sector due to greater demand for data center construction projects. In addition to data centers, notable revenue growth was generated from: (a) the manufacturing and industrial market sector, primarily driven by certain food processing projects, and (b) the hospitality and entertainment market sector, given increased project activity, largely in the Western region of the United States. Further contributing to the revenue increase within this segment were greater levels of short-duration projects and service work. These increases were partially offset by revenue declines from: (a) the high-tech manufacturing market sector, as we near completion of certain semiconductor manufacturing construction projects, and (b) the commercial market sector, as a result of: (i) fewer active warehousing and distribution projects for some of our e-commerce customers, and (ii) the completion or substantial completion of several tenant fit-out or office projects.Revenues of our United States building services segment were $793.3 million and $1,535.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to revenues of $781.1 million and $1,562.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. This segment's revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included incremental acquisition contribution of $2.6 million. For both 2025 periods, this segment's mechanical services division experienced revenue growth from: (a) HVAC project and retrofit work, as demand for these services remained strong, partially as our customers continue to seek ways to improve the energy efficiency of their facilities, (b) service repair and maintenance volumes, given growth in our service contract base, and (c) building automation and controls projects, as we continue to expand our service offerings in this area. Offsetting the strength of the mechanical services division were revenue declines within this segment's commercial site-based and government site-based services divisions due to the loss of certain facilities maintenance contracts that were not renewed upon rebid in a prior period.Revenues of our United States industrial services segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $281.1 million, a decrease of $43.0 million compared to revenues of $324.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Revenues of this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $640.1 million, a decrease of $38.0 million compared to revenues of $678.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This segment's results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included $5.0 million and $19.7 million, respectively, of incremental acquisition revenues. The reduction in this segment's revenues for both 2025 periods resulted from: (a) its field services division, given: (i) lower turnaround project demand when compared to the prior year, which benefited from scope growth on certain projects and (ii) the completion of a renewable fuel project, which was active throughout 2024, and (b) its shop services division, largely due to fewer new build heat exchanger sales.34Table of ContentsOur United Kingdom building services segment revenues were $134.6 million and $239.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to revenues of $106.6 million and $211.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The increase in this segment's revenues for both 2025 periods was due to: (a) greater service revenues, partially as a result of the recent award of a facilities maintenance contract by a new customer, and (b) increased project work, largely within the manufacturing and industrial and network and communications market sectors. Revenues of this segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were positively impacted by $7.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively, given favorable exchange rate movements for the British pound versus the United States dollar.Cost of sales and gross profitThe following table presents our cost of sales, gross profit (revenues less cost of sales), and gross profit as a percentage of revenues ("gross profit margin") (in thousands, except for percentages): For the three months endedJune 30,For the six months endedJune 30, 2025202420252024Cost of sales$3,470,629 $2,982,896 $6,615,283 $5,825,863 Gross profit$833,771 $684,001 $1,556,489 $1,273,310 Gross profit margin19.4 %18.7 %19.0 %17.9 %Our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $833.8 million, or 19.4% of revenues, compared to gross profit of $684.0 million, or 18.7% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,556.5 million, or 19.0% of revenues, compared to gross profit of $1,273.3 million, or 17.9% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The year-over-year increases in gross profit and the expansion in gross profit margin were driven by both of our United States construction segments, as well as our United States building services segment, in each case due to an improved revenue mix and excellent project execution. Our gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included incremental acquisition contribution of $43.7 million and $85.4 million, respectively, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $7.0 million and $12.4 million, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expensesThe following table presents our selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues ("SG&A margin") (in thousands, except for percentages): For the three months endedJune 30,For the six months endedJune 30, 2025202420252024Selling, general and administrative expenses$418,559 $351,193 $822,521 $680,549 SG&A margin9.7 %9.6 %10.1 %9.6 %Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $418.6 million, or 9.7% of revenues, compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $351.2 million, or 9.6% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $822.5 million, or 10.1% of revenues, compared to selling, general and administrative expenses of $680.5 million, or 9.6% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included $34.4 million and $62.0 million, respectively, of incremental expenses directly related to companies acquired, including amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $5.5 million and $10.6 million, respectively. Included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $9.4 million of transaction related costs incurred during the first quarter in connection with the acquisition of Miller Electric.Excluding incremental expenses resulting from acquisitions, our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $32.9 million and $80.0 million, respectively, primarily as a result of greater: (a) incentive compensation expense, predominantly within our United States construction segments, given higher projected annual operating results, (b) salaries and related employment expenses, due to additional headcount to support our organic revenue growth as well as annual cost of living adjustments, and (c) computer hardware and software costs due to various information technology and cybersecurity initiatives currently in process. The 50 basis point increase in our SG&A margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to: (a) improved gross profit and gross profit margin, which resulted in the above referenced increase in incentive compensation expense across certain of our operating subsidiaries, (b) a decrease in revenues, without a commensurate decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, within our United States building services and United States industrial services segments, and (c) the impact of the $9.4 million of transaction related costs referenced above.35Table of ContentsOperating income (loss)The following tables present our operating income (loss) and operating income (loss) as a percentage of segment revenues ("operating margin") (in thousands, except for percentages): For the three months ended June 30,2025% ofSegmentRevenues2024% ofSegmentRevenuesOperating income (loss):United States electrical construction and facilities services$157,644 11.8 %$88,577 11.1 %United States mechanical construction and facilities services238,737 13.6 %213,440 12.9 %United States building services50,045 6.3 %46,839 6.0 %United States industrial services(419)(0.1)%12,746 3.9 %Total United States operations446,007 10.7 %361,602 10.2 %United Kingdom building services8,425 6.3 %5,777 5.4 %Corporate administration(39,220)- (34,571)- Consolidated operating income415,212 9.6 %332,808 9.1 %Other items:Net periodic pension income55 221 Interest (expense) income, net(3,240)6,106 Income before income taxes$412,027 $339,135 For the six months ended June 30,2025% ofSegmentRevenues2024% ofSegmentRevenuesOperating income (loss):United States electrical construction and facilities services$293,701 12.1 %$180,166 11.5 %United States mechanical construction and facilities services425,484 12.8 %364,160 11.8 %United States building services86,468 5.6 %80,298 5.1 %United States industrial services6,341 1.0 %30,712 4.5 %Total United States operations811,994 10.2 %655,336 9.5 %United Kingdom building services13,412 5.6 %11,154 5.3 %Corporate administration(91,438)- (73,729)- Consolidated operating income733,968 9.0 %592,761 8.3 %Other items:Net periodic pension income109 443 Interest income, net2,147 13,647 Income before income taxes$736,224 $606,851 Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $415.2 million, an increase of $82.4 million compared to operating income of $332.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Operating margin for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 9.6% compared to an operating margin of 9.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, operating income was $734.0 million, an increase of $141.2 million compared to operating income of $592.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Operating margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 9.0% compared to an operating margin of 8.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.As described in more detail below, these increases in profitability were predominantly a result of improved operating performance within our United States construction segments, due to a more favorable mix of work and better project execution, including enhanced productivity, due in part to investments in virtual design and construction, prefabrication, and automation. Operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included incremental acquisition contribution of $9.2 million and $23.5 million, respectively, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $12.5 million and $23.0 million, respectively.36Table of ContentsOperating income of our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment was $157.6 million, or 11.8% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $88.6 million, or 11.1% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Operating income of this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $293.7 million, or 12.1% of revenues, compared to $180.2 million, or 11.5% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Operating income and operating margin of this segment for both 2025 periods benefited from greater gross profit and gross profit margin due to an increase in revenues, excellent project execution, and a more favorable mix of work. While the most significant increase in gross profit was generated within the network and communications market sector, this segment additionally experienced increases within the majority of the other market sectors in which we operate, generally in line with the revenue trends described above. Largely driven by Miller Electric, this segment's operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 included incremental acquisition contribution of $9.8 million and $21.8 million, respectively, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $11.4 million and $19.4 million, respectively.Our United States mechanical construction and facilities services segment's operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $238.7 million, or 13.6% of revenues, compared to operating income of $213.4 million, or 12.9% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Operating income of this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $425.5 million, or 12.8% of revenues, compared to $364.2 million, or 11.8% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Similar to our United States electrical construction and facilities services segment, this improved performance for both 2025 periods was a result of greater gross profit and gross profit margin due to an increase in revenues, excellent project execution, and a more favorable mix of work. From a market sector perspective, this segment also experienced greater profitability across a number of the sectors in which we operate, with the most significant increase in gross profit coming from network and communications. This segment's operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included incremental acquisition contribution of $2.3 million, net of amortization expense attributable to identifiable intangible assets of $2.1 million. Partially offsetting this increased profitability was a decrease in gross profit from the commercial market sector, primarily as a result of the reduced revenues previously referenced.Operating income of our United States building services segment was $50.0 million, or 6.3% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $46.8 million, or 6.0% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Operating income of this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $86.5 million, or 5.6% of revenues, compared to $80.3 million, or 5.1% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. For both 2025 periods, this segment's mechanical services division continued to produce strong margins across its portfolio of HVAC retrofits, building automation and controls projects, and repair service work orders. Headwinds faced in this segment's commercial site-based services and government site-based services divisions, given the loss of the previously referenced facilities maintenance contracts, partially offset such profitability during the first six months of 2025. The results of this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included an $11.0 million reserve for a specific customer bankruptcy within its commercial site-based services division, which negatively impacted the segment's operating margin by 70 basis points in such prior year period.Our United States industrial services segment reported an operating loss of $0.4 million, or (0.1)% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to operating income of $12.7 million, or 3.9% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, this segment reported operating income of $6.3 million, or 1.0% of revenues, compared to operating income of $30.7 million, or 4.5% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decreases in profitability of this segment for both 2025 periods were primarily a result of: (a) the reductions in segment revenues discussed above, which also resulted in a greater amount of unabsorbed labor costs, and (b) a less favorable revenue mix when compared to the prior year period, which benefited from turnaround projects of a greater size as well as a large renewable fuel project. In addition, the results of this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were negatively impacted by a $5.0 million increase in the allowance for credit losses, which reduced its operating margin by 80 basis points.Operating income of our United Kingdom building services segment was $8.4 million, or 6.3% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $5.8 million, or 5.4% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $13.4 million, or 5.6% of revenues, compared to $11.2 million, or 5.3% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. For both 2025 periods, the increase in this segment's operating income and operating margin was primarily due to the revenue growth it experienced, which resulted in: (a) greater gross profit and (b) a reduction in SG&A margin as our segment management team leveraged its overhead cost structure. Operating income of this segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were positively impacted by $0.5 million as a result of favorable exchange rate movements for the British pound versus the United States dollar.Our corporate administration expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were $39.2 million, compared to $34.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our corporate administrative expenses were $91.4 million, compared to $73.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Corporate expenses for the first six months of 2025 included $9.4 million of transaction related costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Miller Electric. Excluding these items, the increase in corporate expenses for both 2025 periods was primarily a result of greater computer hardware and software costs, due to various information technology and cybersecurity initiatives currently in process. 37Table of ContentsOther itemsFor the three months ended June 30, 2025, net interest expense was $3.2 million, compared to net interest income of $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net interest income was $2.1 million, compared to net interest income of $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. These year-over-year fluctuations were a result of an increase in interest expense, given the outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility during the first half of 2025, coupled with a reduction in interest income due to a lower average daily invested cash balance.For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, our income tax provision was $109.9 million and $193.4 million, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of $91.6 million and $162.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Our effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was 26.7% and 26.3%, respectively, compared to an effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 of 27.0% and 26.7%, respectively. Refer to Note 9 - Income Taxes of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding our income tax provision and effective income tax rate.Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations The following table presents the transaction price allocated to remaining unsatisfied performance obligations ("remaining performance obligations") for each of our reportable segments and their respective percentage of total remaining performance obligations (in thousands, except for percentages):June 30, 2025% of TotalDecember 31, 2024% of TotalJune 30,2024% of TotalRemaining performance obligations:United States electrical construction and facilities services$4,198,244 35 %$3,068,396 31 %$2,632,120 29 %United States mechanical construction and facilities services5,975,201 50 %5,463,096 54 %4,758,744 53 %United States building services1,313,603 11 %1,246,642 12 %1,345,089 15 %United States industrial services221,102 2 %138,599 1 %99,022 1 %Total United States operations11,708,150 98 %9,916,733 98 %8,834,975 98 %United Kingdom building services206,238 2 %185,466 2 %164,248 2 %Total operations$11,914,388 100 %$10,102,199 100 %$8,999,223 100 %Our remaining performance obligations at June 30, 2025 were approximately $11.91 billion compared to approximately $10.10 billion at December 31, 2024 and approximately $9.00 billion at June 30, 2024. When compared to December 31, 2024, remaining performance obligations increased by approximately $1.81 billion. Acquisitions, notably Miller Electric, account for approximately $0.96 billion of such increase, with the remaining growth resulting from new contract awards across all of our reportable segments. From a market sector perspective, we experienced growth within the majority of the sectors we serve, with the most significant increases within: (a) network and communications, largely as a result of several data center construction contracts, (b) institutional, (c) manufacturing and industrial, due to certain: (i) food processing construction projects and (ii) renewable energy projects, (d) commercial, including various warehousing and distribution projects, and (e) hospitality and entertainment.See Note 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further disclosure regarding our remaining performance obligations.Liquidity and Capital Resources The following section discusses our principal liquidity and capital resources, as well as our primary liquidity requirements and sources and uses of cash. We are focused on the efficient conversion of operating income into cash to provide for the Company's material cash requirements, including working capital needs, investment in our growth strategies through business acquisitions and capital expenditures, satisfaction of contractual commitments, including principal and interest payments on any outstanding indebtedness, and shareholder return through share repurchases and dividend payments. We strive to maintain a balanced approach to capital allocation in order to achieve growth, deliver value, and minimize risk. Management monitors financial markets and overall economic conditions for factors that may affect our liquidity and capital resources and adjusts our capital allocation strategy as necessary. Negative macroeconomic trends could have an adverse effect on future liquidity if we experience delays in the payment of outstanding receivables beyond normal payment terms, an increase in credit losses, or significant increases in the price of commodities or the materials and equipment utilized for our project and service work, beyond those experienced in recent years. In addition, during economic downturns, there have 38Table of Contentstypically been fewer small discretionary projects from the private sector and our competitors have aggressively bid larger long-term infrastructure and public sector contracts. Our liquidity is also impacted by: (a) the type and length of construction contracts in place, as performance of long duration contracts typically requires greater amounts of working capital, (b) the level of turnaround activities within our United States industrial services segment, as such projects are billed in arrears pursuant to contractual terms that are standard within the industry, and (c) the billing terms of our maintenance contracts, including those within our United States and United Kingdom building services segments. While we strive to negotiate favorable billing terms, which allow us to invoice in advance of costs incurred on certain of our contracts, there can be no assurance that such terms will be agreed to by our customers.As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash, of $486.0 million, which are maintained in depository accounts and highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less. Both our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are expected to be met through our cash and cash equivalent balances, cash generated from our operations, and, as necessary, the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. Our credit agreement provides for a $1.30 billion revolving credit facility, for which there was $978.5 million of available capacity as of June 30, 2025. Refer to Note 7 - Debt of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our credit agreement. Based upon our current credit rating and financial position, we can also reasonably expect to be able to secure long-term debt financing if required to achieve our strategic objectives; however, no assurances can be made that such debt financing will be available on favorable terms. We believe that we have sufficient financial resources available to meet our short-term and foreseeable long-term liquidity requirements.Cash FlowsThe following table presents a summary of our operating, investing, and financing cash flows (in thousands): For the six months endedJune 30, 20252024Net cash provided by operating activities$302,158 $411,958 Net cash used in investing activities$(938,825)$(211,139)Net cash used in financing activities$(231,125)$(181,444)Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash$14,558 $(927)(Decrease) increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash$(853,234)$18,448 During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our cash balance, including cash equivalents and restricted cash, decreased by approximately $853.2 million from $1,340.4 million at December 31, 2024 to $487.2 million at June 30, 2025. Changes in our cash position from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025 are described in further detail below. Operating Activities - Operating cash flows generally represent our net income as adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $302.2 million compared to approximately $412.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in our operating cash flow period-over-period was a result of an increase in working capital, primarily on our construction projects, given the progression on a number of contracts for which we were previously billed ahead. As we worked through these upfront payments, we saw the expected decrease in operating cash as our cash outflows exceeded our inflows on these projects. Such decrease was partially offset by an increase in our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.Investing Activities - Investing cash flows consist primarily of payments for acquisition of businesses, capital expenditures, and proceeds from the sale or disposal of property, plant, and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by approximately $727.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, predominantly due to the acquisition of Miller Electric.Financing Activities - Financing cash flows consist primarily of the issuance and repayment of short-term and long-term debt, repurchases of common stock, payments of dividends to stockholders, and the issuance of common stock through certain equity plans. Net cash used in financing activities was $231.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $181.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The $49.7 million variance was primarily due to a $283.2 million increase in common stock repurchases made by us, partially offset by $250.0 million in net borrowings made under our revolving credit facility during the first half of 2025. The timing of common stock repurchases is at management's discretion subject to securities laws and other legal requirements and depends upon several factors, including market and business conditions, current and anticipated future liquidity, share price, and share availability, among others. For additional detail regarding our share repurchase program, refer to Note 10 - Common Stock of the notes to consolidated financial statements.39Table of ContentsWe currently pay a regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, cash payments related to dividends were $22.6 million and $20.2 million, respectively. Our credit agreement places limitations on the payment of dividends on our common stock. However, we do not believe that the terms of such agreement currently materially limit our ability to pay such quarterly dividends for the foreseeable future.Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash - We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, almost entirely with respect to the British pound. Therefore, the $15.5 million variance between the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was a direct result of exchange rate movements for the British pound versus the United States dollar.Material Cash Requirements from Contractual and Other ObligationsAs of June 30, 2025, our short-term and long-term material cash requirements for known contractual and other obligations were as follows: Outstanding Debt and Interest Payments - As of June 30, 2025, we had $250.0 million in direct borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Future interest payments will be determined based on prevailing interest rates at that time. Refer to Note 7 - Debt of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further detail of our debt obligations, including our revolving credit facility.Operating and Finance Leases - In the normal course of business, we lease real estate, vehicles, and equipment under various arrangements which are classified as either operating or finance leases. Future payments for such leases, excluding leases with initial terms of one year or less, were $499.3 million at June 30, 2025, with $112.1 million payable within the next 12 months.Open Purchase Obligations - As of June 30, 2025, we had $2.82 billion of open purchase obligations, of which payments totaling approximately $2.39 billion are expected to become due within the next 12 months. These obligations represent open purchase orders to suppliers and subcontractors related to our construction and services contracts. These purchase orders are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not expected to impact future liquidity as amounts should be recovered through customer billings. Insurance Obligations - As described in further detail in Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to consolidated financial statements, we have loss payment deductibles and/or self-insured retentions for certain insurance matters. As of June 30, 2025, our insurance liabilities, net of estimated recoveries, were $262.1 million. Of this net amount, approximately $56.6 million is estimated to be payable within the next 12 months. Due to many uncertainties inherent in resolving these matters, it is not practical to estimate these payments beyond such period. To the extent that the amount required to settle claims covered by insurance continues to increase, the cost of our insurance coverage, including premiums and deductibles, is likely to increase.Contingent Consideration Liabilities - We have incurred liabilities related to contingent consideration arrangements associated with certain acquisitions, payable in the event discrete performance objectives are achieved by the acquired businesses during designated post-acquisition periods. The aggregate amount of these liabilities can change due to additional business acquisitions, settlement of outstanding liabilities, changes in the fair value of amounts owed based on performance during such post-acquisition periods, and accretion in present value. As of June 30, 2025, the present value of expected future payments relating to these contingent consideration arrangements was $15.0 million. Of this amount, $13.5 million is estimated as being payable within the next 12 months, with the remainder due pursuant to the terms of our contractual agreements, some of which extend into 2027.In addition, material cash requirements for other potential obligations, for which we cannot reasonably estimate future payments, include the following:Legal Proceedings - We are involved in several legal proceedings in which damages and claims have been asserted against us. While litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of litigation is not predictable with assurance, we do not believe that any such matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Refer to Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to consolidated financial statements for more information regarding legal proceedings.Multiemployer Benefit Plans - In addition to our Company sponsored benefit plans, we participate in certain multiemployer pension and other post-retirement plans. The cost of these plans is equal to the annual required contributions determined in accordance with the provisions of negotiated collective bargaining agreements. Our future contributions to the multiemployer plans are dependent upon a number of factors. Amounts of future contributions that we would be contractually obligated to make pursuant to these plans cannot be reasonably estimated.
