On April 1, 2026, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its barge business. As of March 31, 2026, the assets and liabilities of the barge business have been classified as held for sale and the results of operations and cash flows have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. To provide a more meaningful comparison, revenues in the First Quarter 2026 Consolidated Highlights above include barge revenues of $91.6 million and $84.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are presented “net” in income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Antonio Carrillo, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our first quarter results reflect strong execution in our continuing businesses, with 10 percent growth in Adjusted EBITDA outpacing revenue growth. Performance in the quarter was led by robust growth and margin expansion in our utility structures business, which achieved record quarterly revenue and Adjusted EBITDA margin.
“Construction Products performed in line with expectations despite a slow start to the year driven by cold weather challenges, with performance improving as the quarter progressed. Despite seasonal headwinds, aggregates volumes improved 4 percent and unit profitability increased 7 percent, outpacing 2 percent pricing growth. In Engineered Structures, results exceeded our expectations, driven by accelerating demand tied to grid modernization and increased power needs. We converted this demand for utility structures into strong double-digit revenue growth, meaningful margin expansion, and record backlog, more than offsetting the expected decline in wind towers.
“In April, we took a pivotal step to further simplify our portfolio by divesting our barge business and allocating a portion of the proceeds to pay down debt, underscoring our commitment to balance sheet strength and financial flexibility. Now with two growth segments, we are fully focused on Construction Products and Engineered Structures, both well aligned to benefit from infrastructure investment and power market tailwinds in the U.S.”
2026 Outlook and Guidance
The Company updated its full year 2026 guidance to reflect continuing operations only as follows:
- Removed the full year contribution from the barge business included in the prior range, which was $410 million to $430 million for revenues and $70 million to $75 million for Adjusted EBITDA.
- Raised the guidance range for revenues and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations based on the strong performance in utility structures for the first quarter and increased confidence in the balance of the year.
| Updated Guidance | Previous Guidance |
|---|
| Revenues from continuing operations | $2.6 billion to $2.7 billion | $2.54 billion to $2.67 billion |
| Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations | $545 million to $585 million | $520 million to $565 million |
Carrillo concluded, “Based on our first quarter performance and improved visibility into the balance of the year, we are raising our full year 2026 guidance for continuing operations. Momentum in utility structures, solid execution across the business, and disciplined cost management give us confidence in our outlook. With a simplified portfolio and an attractive demand environment, we remain well positioned to deliver another year of strong financial performance and are confident in our ability to create long-term value for our shareholders.”
First Quarter 2026 Results and Commentary
All comparisons are versus the prior year quarter unless noted otherwise.
Construction Products
- Revenues increased 5% to $276.3 million primarily due to 5% growth in aggregates and a 26% increase in shoring products, partially offset by lower revenues in our asphalt business which was impacted by colder temperatures in the northeast during the seasonal low point.
- Aggregates Freight-Adjusted Revenues increased 6% supported by 4% volume growth and 2% Aggregates Freight-Adjusted Average Sales Price expansion.
- Aggregates Adjusted Cash Gross Profit Margin expanded 220 basis points to 43.3% and Adjusted Cash Gross Profit per Ton increased 7%.
- Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased 2% to $55.7 million primarily due to the decline in the asphalt business and planned maintenance downtime in specialty materials which reduced cost absorption. The decrease was partially offset by the growth in aggregates and shoring products.
- Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin decreased 150 basis points to 20.2% from 21.7% in the prior period. Freight-Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin was 21.9% compared to 23.6% in the prior period.
Engineered Structures
- Revenues increased 4% to $295.4 million driven by a 15% increase in utility and related structures, partially offset by an expected decline in wind towers due primarily to lower volumes.
- Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 21% to $62.4 million and margin expanded 300 basis points to a record 21.1% as the growth in our utility structures business continues to accelerate, more than compensating for the decrease in wind towers.
- Order activity for our utility structures business remains robust as our customers focus on improving and expanding the electrical grid. We ended the first quarter with record backlog for utility and related structures of $557.6 million, which is up 28% from the start of the year. We expect to recognize 73% of the backlog in 2026.
- During the first quarter, we received wind tower orders of $43 million for 2026 and 2027 delivery. The backlog for our wind towers business at the end of the quarter was $600.0 million, of which we expect to recognize 36% during 2026 and 59% during 2027.
Corporate and Other Financial Notes
- Excluding acquisition and divestiture-related costs, which have been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, corporate expenses increased to $15.7 million from $15.3 million in the prior period primarily due to higher compensation-related costs.
- Acquisition and divestiture-related costs were $1.9 million in the first quarter compared to $0.8 million in the prior period.
- Interest expense totaled $24.0 million, a decrease of $4.3 million from the prior period primarily due to a reduction in outstanding debt year-over-year.
- The effective tax rate in the first quarter was 5.3% compared to 19.4% in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a one-time state tax benefit and a higher compensation-related benefit in the current period due to a change in timing of annual restricted stock vesting.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
- Total operating cash flow was $71.9 million during the first quarter, up from $(0.7) million in the prior period. Operating cash flow from continuing operations was $58.1 million compared to $(21.1) million in the prior period. The improvement for continuing operations was primarily due to higher earnings and a $52.9 million reduction in the use of cash for working capital.
- Capital expenditures for continuing operations in the first quarter were $43.5 million, up $10.5 million from the prior period which reflects increased investment in our core growth platforms.
- Free Cash Flow from continuing operations for the quarter was $21.2 million, up from $(49.1) million in the prior period.
- In March, as previously announced, we completed the acquisition of a central Florida-based natural aggregates operation for $60.0 million, which is included in the Construction Products segment.
- During the quarter we repurchased shares totaling $17.5 million, leaving $32.5 million remaining under our share repurchase program.
- In April 2026, the Company used $83.0 million of cash proceeds from the sale of the barge business to prepay a portion of the outstanding term loan balance.
- Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 2.3x for the trailing twelve months. Pro forma for the sale of the barge business completed on April 1, 2026, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 1.9x.
- We ended the quarter with total liquidity of $853.2 million, including $153.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and full availability under our $700 million revolving credit facility.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted EPS
GAAP does not define “Adjusted Net Income” and it should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including net income. We use this metric to assess the operating performance of our consolidated business. We adjust net income for certain items that are not reflective of the normal operations of our business to provide investors with what we believe is a more consistent comparison of earnings performance from period to period.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA
“EBITDA” is defined as net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain items that are not reflective of the normal earnings of our business. GAAP does not define EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA and they should not be considered as alternatives to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including net income. We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess the operating performance of our consolidated business, as a metric for incentive-based compensation, as a measure within our lending arrangements, and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting as we believe that it closely correlates to long-term shareholder value. As a widely used metric by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry, we believe Adjusted EBITDA also assists investors in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation, depletion, amortization, and other items which can vary significantly depending on many factors. “Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenues.

The Company's full year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance is for continuing operations and excludes the financial results of the barge business and any potential impact of the gain expected to be recognized on the sale.
Includes the impact of the fair value markup of acquired long-lived assets.
Expenses associated with acquisitions and divestitures, including the cost impact of the fair value markup of acquired inventory, advisory and professional fees, integration, separation, and other transaction costs.
Reconciliation of Adjusted Segment EBITDA
“Segment EBITDA” is defined as segment operating profit plus depreciation, depletion, and amortization. “Adjusted Segment EBITDA” is defined as Segment EBITDA adjusted for certain items that are not reflective of the normal earnings of our business. GAAP does not define Segment EBITDA or Adjusted Segment EBITDA and they should not be considered as alternatives to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including segment operating profit. We use Adjusted Segment EBITDA to assess the operating performance of our businesses, as a metric for incentive-based compensation, and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting as we believe that it closely correlates to long-term shareholder value. As a widely used metric by analysts, investors, and competitors in our industry we believe Adjusted Segment EBITDA also assists investors in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation, depletion, amortization, and other items, which can vary significantly depending on many factors. “Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin” is defined as Adjusted Segment EBITDA divided by Revenues.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures for Construction Products
(in millions, except per ton amounts)
“Aggregates Freight-Adjusted Revenues” is defined as aggregates revenues less freight and delivery, which are pass-through activities, and other revenues, which are largely service related. We use this metric to calculate “Aggregates Freight-Adjusted Average Sales Price”, which is Aggregates Freight-Adjusted Revenues divided by shipments. “Aggregates Adjusted Cash Gross Profit” is defined as aggregates gross profit plus depreciation, depletion, and amortization and adjusted for certain items that are not reflective of the normal earnings of our business. “Aggregates Adjusted Cash Gross Profit Per Ton” is Aggregates Adjusted Cash Gross Profit divided by shipments. GAAP does not define these metrics and they should not be considered as alternatives to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including aggregates revenues and aggregates gross profit. We believe that this presentation is consistent with our competitors. These metrics are used by analysts and investors in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis.

“Freight-Adjusted Revenues” for Construction Products is defined as segment revenues less freight and delivery, which are pass-through activities. GAAP does not define Freight-Adjusted Revenues and it should not be considered as alternatives to earnings measures defined by GAAP, including revenues. We use Freight-Adjusted Revenues in the review of our operating results. We also believe that this presentation is consistent with our competitors. As a widely used metric by analysts and investors, this metric assists in comparing a company's performance on a consistent basis. “Freight-Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin” is defined as Freight-Adjusted Revenues divided by Adjusted Segment EBITDA.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
GAAP does not define “Free Cash Flow” and it should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow measures defined by GAAP, including cash flow from operating activities. We define Free Cash Flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures net of the proceeds from the disposition of property, plant, equipment, and other assets. We use this metric to assess the liquidity of our consolidated business. We present Free Cash Flow for the convenience of investors who use it in their analysis and for shareholders who need to understand the metric we use to assess performance and monitor our cash and liquidity positions.
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
|---|
| 2026 | 2025 |
|---|
| Cash provided (required) by operating activities - continuing operations | $58.1 | | $(21.1) | |
| Capital expenditures | (43.5) | | (33.0) | |
| Proceeds from disposition of assets | 6.6 | | 5.0 | |
| Free Cash Flow from continuing operations | $21.2 | | $(49.1) | |
GAAP does not define “Net Debt” and it should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow or liquidity measures defined by GAAP. The Company uses Net Debt, which it defines as total debt minus cash and cash equivalents to determine the extent to which the Company’s outstanding debt obligations would be satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand. The Company also uses “Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA”, which it defines as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months as a metric of its current leverage position. We present this metric for the convenience of investors who use such metrics in their analysis and for shareholders who need to understand the metrics we use to assess performance and monitor our cash and liquidity positions.

| Total debt excluding debt issuance costs | $1,536.0 | $(83.0) | $1,453.0 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 153.2 | 287.0 | 440.2 |
| Net Debt | $1,382.8 | $(370.0) | $1,012.8 |
| Adjusted EBITDA (trailing twelve months) | $594.7 | $(74.8) | $519.9 |
