•Company Overview

•Market Outlook

•Executive Overview

•Results of Operations

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

•Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

•Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

•Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Company Overview

Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Arcosa,” “Company,” “we,” or “our”), headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions with leading brands serving construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets in North America. Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2018 as an independent, publicly-traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Market Outlook

•Within our Construction Products segment, market demand remains healthy overall when seasonal weather conditions have been normal, supported by increased infrastructure spending and private non-residential activity. The outlook for single-family residential housing continues to be impacted by higher interest rates and home affordability, which has negatively impacted volumes. We have been successful in managing inflationary cost pressures through proactive price increases.

•Within our Engineered Structures segment, our backlog as of December 31, 2023 provides good production visibility for 2024. Our customers remain committed to taking delivery of these orders. In utility structures, order and inquiry activity continues to be healthy, as customers remain focused on grid hardening and reliability initiatives. The passage of the IRA on August 16, 2022, which included a long-term extension of the PTC for new wind farm projects and introduced new AMP tax credits for companies that domestically manufacture and sell clean energy equipment in the U.S., is a significant catalyst for our wind towers business. As demonstrated by more than $1.1 billion of new orders for delivery through 2028, which we have received since the passage of the IRA, our wind tower business is at the beginning stages of a market recovery. A large portion of these orders will support wind energy expansion projects in the Southwest. As a result, we are opening a new plant in New Mexico, with production at this facility expected to begin in mid-2024.

•Within our Transportation Products segment, our backlog for inland barges as of December 31, 2023 was $253.7 million, up 12.7% compared to December 31, 2022, and fills a significant portion of our planned production capacity for 2024. Our customers remain committed to taking delivery of these orders. Barge order levels fell sharply at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing high steel prices further negatively impacted demand. In 2022, we reduced capacity in our two active barge operating plants and completed the idling of our Louisiana facility in the fourth quarter of 2021 to further reduce our cost structure. While high steel prices have impacted order levels, the underlying fundamentals for a dry barge replacement cycle remain in place. The fleet continues to age, new builds have not kept pace with scrapping, and utilization rates are high. As a result, order inquiries have been strong, and we received orders of $86.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 for both hopper and tank barges for 2024 delivery. Demand for steel components is increasing relative to 2020 and 2021 cyclical lows as the near-term outlook for the new railcar market indicates a stable level of replacement demand.

Executive Overview

Recent Developments

On December 20, 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Lake Point Holdings, LLC and Lake Point Restoration LLC (collectively "Lake Point"), a Florida based natural aggregates business in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of $65.0 million. The acquisition was funded with $60.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand.

Financial Operations and Highlights

•Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased 2.9% to $2.3 billion compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, driven by higher revenues in Construction Products and Transportation Products, partially offset by lower revenues in Engineered Structures resulting from the divestiture of the storage tanks business on October 3, 2022, which contributed $188.9 million to revenues in the prior year.

•Operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $217.3 million decreased $131.7 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 due to the divestiture of the storage tanks business, which resulted in a net decrease of $223.7 million year-over-year. Excluding the impact of the divested business in both years, operating profit increased $92.0 million, driven by higher pricing and asset sale gains in Construction Products, increased volumes in Transportation Products, and AMP tax credits in Engineered Structures.

•As a percentage of revenue, selling, general, and administrative expenses was 11.3% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to 11.7% in the prior year. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were relatively unchanged for the year ended December 31, 2023, when compared to the prior year, as the elimination of costs from the storage tanks business were largely offset by increased compensation-related costs.

•The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 18.7% compared to 22.3% for the year ended December 31, 2022. See Note 10, “Income Taxes” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

•Net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $159.2 million compared with $245.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Unsatisfied Performance Obligations (Backlog)

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 our backlog of firm orders was as follows:

(in millions)

Engineered Structures:

Utility, wind, and related structures $ 1,367.5 $ 671.3

Transportation Products:

Approximately 43% of the unsatisfied performance obligations for our utility, wind, and related structures in our Engineered Structures segment is expected to be delivered during 2024, approximately 27% is expected to be delivered during 2025, and the remainder is expected to be delivered through 2028. All of the unsatisfied performance obligations for inland barges in our Transportation Products segment are expected to be delivered during 2024.

Interest income $ (4.7) $ (1.1) $ —

Foreign currency exchange transactions (1.7) 3.3 0.6

Other, net (income) expense $ (6.7) $ 1.8 $ 0.3

•Other, net expense due to foreign currency exchange transactions decreased by $5.0 million in 2023, primarily driven by increased volatility in the U.S. dollar to Mexican peso exchange rate as well as foreign currency impacts on the sale of the storage tanks business in Mexico.

Income Taxes

The income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $36.7 million, $70.4 million, and $14.0 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 was 18.7%, 22.3%, and 16.7%, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the federal tax rate of 21.0% due to AMP tax credits, tax effects of foreign currency translations, state income taxes, prior year true-ups, and statutory depletion deductions. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 was largely due to AMP tax credits and the tax effects of foreign currency translations. For a reconciliation of the federal tax rate to our effective tax rate, see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

($ in millions)

Revenues:

Operating costs:

2023 versus 2022

•Revenues increased 8.4% primarily due to increased pricing across our product lines in our aggregates and specialty materials businesses. Higher volumes in recycled aggregates were largely offset by lower volumes in natural aggregates and specialty materials. Revenues from our trench shoring business increased 18.9%, driven by revenue from the acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2023 and higher organic volumes.

•Cost of revenues increased 6.5%, due to increased costs from the acquired shoring business, higher recycled aggregates volumes, and operating inefficiencies in our specialty materials business. These costs were partially offset by a $5 million reduction in a holdback obligation owed on a previous acquisition. As a percent of revenues, cost of revenues decreased to 78.3% in current period, compared to 79.7% in the prior period.

•Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 6.6%, driven by additional costs from recently acquired businesses. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general, and administrative costs decreased to 10.7% compared to 10.9% in the previous year.

•Operating profit increased by 43.6%, partially due to gain recognized on the sales of depleted land. Excluding the gain, operating profit increased 27.2%, driven by increased pricing across the segment and the benefit recognized on a holdback obligation, partially offset by operating inefficiencies in our specialty materials business.

•Depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense increased primarily due to recent acquisitions and organic growth investments.

2022 versus 2021

•Revenues increased 15.9% partially due to recent acquisitions, which on a combined basis accounted for approximately half of the increase in segment revenues. The additional increase in revenues was driven by strong pricing gains across our product lines in our aggregates and specialty materials businesses, partially offset by overall lower volumes from legacy operations. Revenues from our trench shoring business increased 19.8%, driven by higher volumes and increased pricing.

•Cost of revenues increased 16.9%, partially due to higher volumes as well as additional depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense from recently acquired businesses. Cost of revenues also increased due to higher inflationary-related costs, including diesel, cement, and process fuels, across our businesses. As a percent of revenues, cost of revenues increased slightly.

•Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 11.7%, driven by additional costs from recently acquired businesses. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general, and administrative costs in the legacy businesses declined to 10.9% compared to 11.3% in the previous year.

Other Investing and Financing Activities

Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes

On August 23, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to increase the revolving credit facility from $500.0 million to $600.0 million, extend the maturity date from January 2, 2025 to August 23, 2028, and refinance and repay in full the remaining balance of the term loan then outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $160.0 million of outstanding loans borrowed and there were approximately $22.0 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility, leaving $418.0 million available for borrowing. The majority of our letter of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs.

The interest rates under the revolving credit facility are variable based on the daily simple or term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus a 10-basis point credit spread adjustment, or an alternate base rate, in each case plus a margin for borrowing. A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving facility. The margin for borrowing and commitment fee rate are determined based on Arcosa’s leverage as measured by a consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio. The margin for borrowing based on SOFR ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% and was set at 1.50% as of December 31, 2023. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.20% to 0.35% and was set at 0.25% at December 31, 2023.

The Company's revolving credit facility requires the maintenance of certain ratios related to leverage and interest coverage. As of December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. Borrowings under the credit agreement are guaranteed by certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.

On April 6, 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior notes (the “Notes”) that mature in April 2029. Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually in April and October of each year. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under our revolving credit and term loan facilities.

We believe, based on our current business plans, that our existing cash, available liquidity, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund necessary capital expenditures and operating cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

Repurchase Program

In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a new $50.0 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to replace a program of the same amount that expired on December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 200,000 shares at a cost of $13.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a remaining authorization of $36.2 million under the program. Under the previous program, the Company repurchased 298,629 shares at a cost of $15.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Derivative Instruments

In December 2018, the Company entered into a $100.0 million interest rate swap instrument, effective as of January 2, 2019, to reduce the effect of changes in the variable interest rates associated with the first $100.0 million of borrowings under the Company's committed credit facility. In conjunction with the replacement of LIBOR with SOFR as a benchmark for borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, on July 1, 2023, the swap instrument transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR. The instrument effectively fixed the SOFR component of borrowings under the revolving credit facility at a monthly rate of 2.71% until such instrument's termination. The interest rate swap instrument expired in October 2023. See Note 3 and Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

MD&A discusses our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies include our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Combinations and Allocation of Purchase Price

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. As of the date that control in the entity is obtained, the purchase price of the transaction is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is determined based on the fair value of consideration transferred to and liabilities assumed from the seller as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recorded for the excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The determination of the acquisition date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management's judgment and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to future expected cash flows, useful lives, and discount rates.

We commonly use an excess earnings method to value acquired mineral reserves and separately identifiable intangible assets, which may include, but are not limited to, customer relationships, permits, and backlog. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of these types of assets may include projected revenues, production costs, capital requirements, customer attrition rates, and discount rates. Changes in the assumptions used could have a significant impact on the estimated acquisition date fair value of the related asset and any future depreciation, depletion, or amortization expense.

49

Table of Contents

The estimated remaining useful lives of acquired tangible and definite-lived intangible assets are based on the length of time that the assets are expected to provide value to the Company and have a significant impact on current and future period earnings.

Management's estimates of fair value are based on assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. We may adjust the amounts recognized in an acquisition during a measurement period after the acquisition date. Any such adjustments are the result of subsequently obtaining additional information that existed at the acquisition date regarding the assets acquired or the liabilities assumed. Measurement period adjustments are generally recorded as increases or decreases to goodwill, if any, recognized in the transaction. The cumulative impact of measurement period adjustments on depreciation, amortization, and other income statement items are recognized in the period the adjustment is determined.

Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. We include results of operations from acquired businesses in our Consolidated Financial Statements from the effective date of the acquisition.

Long-lived Assets

As of December 31, 2023, net property, plant, and equipment and net intangible assets represent 37% and 8% of the Company's total assets, respectively. The methods for recognition of depreciation, depletion, and amortization are based on estimates regarding the expected future economic benefit to the Company and any potential impairment to the value of such assets could be significant. As such, the accounting treatment for these long-lived assets is a critical accounting policy.

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated or depleted over their estimated useful lives, primarily using the straight-line method. Depletion of mineral reserves is calculated based on estimated proven and probable reserves using the units-of-production method on a quarry-by-quarry basis. Intangible assets, primarily consisting of customer relationships and permits, are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the ranges of estimated useful lives by category of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.

We periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used for potential impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used is considered impaired when the carrying value is not recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows and the fair value of the asset or asset group is less than their carrying value. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks involved or market quotes as available. Significant estimates and judgments that most significantly impact the impairment analysis may include projected revenues, operating profit, and the remaining useful life over which the asset or asset group is expected to generate cash flows.

Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined in a similar manner, except that estimated fair values are reduced by the estimated cost to dispose of the assets.

The Company had no impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022. Impairment charges of $2.9 million were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 related to assets that were classified as held for sale during the year.

Goodwill

Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis whenever events or circumstances change indicating that the carrying amount of the goodwill might be impaired. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is assessed at the “reporting unit” level by comparing the reporting unit's estimated fair value with the carrying amount of its net assets. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. The goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the reporting unit's carrying value over its fair value, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The estimates and judgments that most significantly affect the fair value calculations are assumptions, consisting of level three inputs, related to revenue and operating profit growth, discount rates, and exit multiples.

50

Table of Contents

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company voluntarily changed its annual goodwill impairment assessment date from December 31st to October 1st. This voluntary change is preferable under the circumstances as it better aligns the timing of the assessment with the timing of the Company's strategic planning and forecasting process and gives the Company sufficient time to complete the annual assessment in advance of year-end reporting. The change in accounting principle will not delay, accelerate, or avoid an impairment charge. The Company has determined that it is impracticable to objectively determine projected cash flows and related valuation estimates that would have been used as of October 1 for periods prior to 2023 without the use of hindsight. As such, the Company has applied this change prospectively as of October 1, 2023.

As of December 31, 2023, goodwill totaled $990.7 million. Based on the Company's annual goodwill impairment test, performed at the reporting unit level as of October 1, 2023, the Company concluded that no impairment charges were determined to be necessary and that none of the reporting units evaluated were at risk of failing the goodwill impairment test. A reporting unit is considered to be at risk if its estimated fair value does not exceed the carrying value of its net assets by 10% or more. See Note 1 and Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We believe that the assumptions used in our impairment analysis are reasonable; however, given the uncertainties of the economy and its potential impact on our businesses, there can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions regarding the fair value of our reporting units will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Additionally, variations in any of these assumptions may result in different calculations in fair value that could result in an impairment charge.

A 100 basis point increase in the discount rate or reduction in the terminal growth rate would not have resulted in an impairment of goodwill for any of our reporting units as of October 1, 2023.

Contingencies and Litigation

The Company is involved in claims and lawsuits and environmental matters incidental to our business. We evaluate our exposure to such claims and suits periodically and establish accruals for these contingencies when probable losses can be reasonably estimated. The reasonably possible loss for such matters, taking into consideration our rights in indemnity and recourse to third parties was $1.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and ranged from $0.3 million to $1.9 million as of December 31, 2022.

Based on information currently available with respect to such claims and lawsuits, including information on claims and lawsuits as to which the Company is aware but for which the Company has not been served with legal process, it is management’s opinion that the ultimate outcome of all such claims and litigation, including settlements, in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition for purposes of financial reporting. However, resolution of certain claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise, could impact the operating results of the reporting period in which such resolution occurs. For additional information, see Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and other tax attributes using currently enacted tax rates. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the provision for income taxes in the period that includes the enactment date. Management is required to estimate the timing of the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, make assumptions about the future deductibility of deferred tax assets, and assess deferred tax liabilities based on enacted law and tax rates for the appropriate tax jurisdictions to determine the amount of such deferred tax assets and liabilities. Changes in the calculated deferred tax assets and liabilities may occur in certain circumstances including statutory income tax rate changes, statutory tax law changes, or changes in the structure or tax status of the Company. The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be established against its deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a more likely than not standard. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency, and severity of recent losses; a forecast of future profitability; the duration of statutory carryback and carryforward periods; the Company’s experience with tax attributes expiring unused; and tax planning alternatives.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company's adjusted net deferred tax liability was $172.8 million. At December 31, 2023, the Company had $33.7 million federal consolidated net operating loss carryforwards, primarily from businesses acquired, and $6.1 million of tax-effected state loss carryforwards remaining. In addition, the Company had $13.8 million of foreign net operating loss carryforwards that will begin to expire in the year 2024. We have established a valuation allowance for state and foreign tax operating losses and credits that we have estimated may not be realizable.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our earnings could be affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on our variable rate revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2023, we had $160.0 million of outstanding loans borrowed under the revolving credit facility. If interest rates average one percentage point more in fiscal year 2024 than they did during 2023, our interest expense would increase by $1.6 million. In comparison, at December 31, 2022, we estimated that an average increase of one percentage point would increase interest expense by $0.4 million, after considering the effects of interest rate hedges.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $400.0 million outstanding on our 4.375% senior notes (the "Notes") due 2029. The Notes have a 4.375% fixed annual interest rate and, therefore, our economic interest rate exposure is fixed. However, the values of the Notes are exposed to interest rate risk. We estimate that a one percentage point increase in market interest rates would decrease the fair value of the Notes by approximately $16.7 million. We carry the Notes at face value less unamortized discount on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and present the fair value for disclosure purposes only.

In addition, we are subject to market risk related to our net investments in our foreign subsidiaries. The net investment in foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 was $125.8 million. The impact of such market risk exposures as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations has not been significant to Arcosa. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Arcosa,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions with leading brands serving construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets in North America. Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2018 as an independent, publicly-traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements present our historical financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income/loss, and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Stockholders' Equity

In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a new $50.0 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to replace a program of the same amount that expired on December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 200,000 shares at a cost of $13.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a remaining authorization of $36.2 million under the program. Under the previous program, the Company repurchased 298,629 shares at a cost of $15.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on the allocation of the transaction price in a contract to satisfied performance obligations. The transaction price does not include any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue, separated by reportable segments. Payments for our products and services are generally due within normal commercial terms. For a further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 4 Segment Information.

Construction Products

The Construction Products segment recognizes substantially all revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.

Engineered Structures

Within the Engineered Structures segment, revenue is recognized for our wind tower and certain utility structure product lines over time as the products are manufactured using an input approach based on the costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs of production. We recognize revenue over time for these products as they are highly customized to the needs of an individual customer resulting in no alternative use to the Company if not purchased by the customer after the contract is executed, and we have the right to bill the customer for our work performed to date plus at least a reasonable profit margin for work performed. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had a contract asset of $66.8 million and $77.5 million, respectively, which is included in receivables, net of allowance, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in the contract asset is attributed to the timing of deliveries of finished structures to customers during the period. For all other products, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.

Transportation Products

The Transportation Products segment recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.

All of the unsatisfied performance obligations for inland barges in our Transportation Products segment are expected to be delivered during 2024.

Income Taxes

The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

The Company regularly evaluates the likelihood of realization of tax benefits derived from positions it has taken in various federal and state filings after consideration of all relevant facts, circumstances, and available information. For those tax positions that are deemed more likely than not to be sustained, the Company recognizes the benefit it believes is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of recorded reserves, the effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially impacted.

Financial Instruments

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments to be cash and cash equivalents if purchased with a maturity of three months or less.Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and receivables. The Company places its cash investments in bank deposits and highly rated money market funds, and its investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. We seek to limit concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables with control procedures that monitor the credit worthiness of customers, together with the large number of customers in the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. As receivables are generally unsecured, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected credit losses. Receivable balances determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. To accelerate the conversion to cash, the Company may sell a portion of its trade receivables to third parties. The Company has no recourse to these receivables once they are sold but may have continuing involvement related to servicing and collection activities. The impact of these transactions in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 was not significant. The carrying values of cash, receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined principally on the first in first out method. The value of inventory is adjusted for damaged, obsolete, excess, or slow-moving inventory. Work in process and finished goods include material, labor, and overhead.

Table of Contents

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated or depleted over their estimated useful lives, primarily using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are: buildings and improvements - 5 to 30 years; leasehold improvements - the lesser of the term of the lease or 11 years; and machinery and equipment - 3 to 15 years. Depletion of mineral reserves is calculated based on estimated proven and probable reserves using the units-of-production method on a quarry-by-quarry basis. The costs of ordinary maintenance and repair are charged to operating costs as incurred.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually, or on an interim basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount might be impaired. The quantitative goodwill impairment test is assessed at the “reporting unit” level by comparing the reporting unit's estimated fair value with the carrying amount of its net assets. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. The goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the reporting unit's carrying value over its fair value, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The estimates and judgments that most significantly affect the fair value calculations are assumptions, consisting of level three inputs, related to revenue and operating profit growth, discount rates, and exit multiples.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company voluntarily changed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment assessment date from December 31st to October 1st. This voluntary change is preferable under the circumstances as it better aligns the timing of the assessment with the timing of the Company's strategic planning and forecasting process and gives the Company sufficient time to complete the annual assessment in advance of year-end reporting. The change in accounting principle will not delay, accelerate, or avoid an impairment charge. The Company has determined that it is impracticable to objectively determine projected cash flows and related valuation estimates that would have been used as of October 1 for periods prior to 2023 without the use of hindsight. As such, the Company has applied this change prospectively as of October 1, 2023.

As of October 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's annual impairment test of goodwill was completed at the reporting unit level and no impairment charges were determined to be necessary.

Intangible assets are recorded at fair value, using level three inputs, on the date of acquisition and evaluated to determine their estimated useful life. These assets primarily consist of customer relationships and permits and are amortized using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for definite-lived intangible assets are: customer relationships - 2 to 15 years; permits - 10 to 29 years; and other - 5 to 10 years.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets primarily relate to an acquired trademark. These assets are not amortized but are evaluated for impairment annually, or on an interim basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The impairment test compares the fair value of each asset to its carrying value using a relief from royalty method. As of October 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's annual impairment test was completed and no impairment charges were determined to be necessary.

Long-lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including property, plant, and equipment and definite-lived intangibles, for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used is considered impaired only when the carrying value is not recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows and the fair value of the assets is less than their carrying value. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks involved or market quotes as available. Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced by the estimated cost to dispose of the assets.

The Company had no impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022. Impairment charges of $2.9 million were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 related to assets that were classified as held for sale during the year. The assets related to a non-operating facility within our Engineered Structures segment that was sold in 2022.

Workers’ Compensation

The Company is effectively self-insured for workers’ compensation claims. A third-party administrator is used to process claims. We accrue our workers' compensation liability based upon independent actuarial studies. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company's accrual for worker's compensation costs was $24.2 million and $28.2 million, respectively, which is included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Table of Contents

Warranties

The Company provides various express, limited product warranties that generally range from 1 to 5 years depending on the product. The warranty costs are estimated using a two-step approach. First, an engineering estimate is made for the cost of all claims that have been asserted by customers. Second, based on historical, accepted claims experience, a cost is accrued for all products still within a warranty period for which no claims have been filed. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized related to products covered by warranties and assesses the adequacy of the resulting reserves on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company's accrual for warranty costs was $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, which is included in accrued liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Derivative Instruments

The Company may, from time to time, use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, commodity prices, or changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For derivative instruments designated as hedges, the Company formally documents the relationship between the derivative instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the derivative instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivative to specific assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, commitments, or forecasted transactions. At the time a derivative instrument is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, the Company assesses whether the derivative instrument is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Any change in the fair value of the hedged instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) as a separate component of stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company monitors its derivative positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties and does not anticipate losses due to counterparties' non-performance.

Foreign Currency Translation

Certain operations outside the U.S. prepare financial statements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The income statement amounts are translated at average exchange rates for the year, while the assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates. Translation adjustments are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders' equity and other comprehensive income. The functional currency of our Mexico operations is considered to be the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our Canadian operations is considered to be the Canadian dollar.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and the effective unrealized gains and losses on the Company's derivative financial instruments, the sum of which, along with net income, constitutes comprehensive net income (loss). See Note 12 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. All components are shown net of tax.

Acquisitions:

2023 Acquisitions

On December 20, 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Lake Point Holdings, LLC and Lake Point Restoration LLC, (collectively "Lake Point") a Florida based natural aggregates business in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of $65.0 million. The acquisition was funded with $60.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities ("Level 3" inputs). The preliminary valuation resulted in the recognition of, among others, $10.4 million of property, plant, and equipment, $22.8 million of mineral reserves, $13.1 million of permits, and $14.2 million of goodwill in our Construction Products segment. We expect to complete our purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably possible, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material, particularly with respect to our preliminary estimates of mineral reserves, permits, and property, plant, and equipment.

In October 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Florida based recycled aggregates business and a Phoenix, Arizona based recycled aggregates business, both of which are included in our Construction Products segment. The purchase prices of these acquisitions were not significant.

In September 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Houston, Texas based stabilized sand producer in our Construction Products segment. The purchase price of the acquisition was not significant.

In March 2023, we completed the stock acquisition of a Houston, Texas based shoring, trench, and excavation products business in our Construction Products segment. In February 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Phoenix, Arizona based recycled aggregates business in our Construction Products segment. The purchase prices of these acquisitions were not significant.

2022 Acquisitions

In May 2022, we completed the stock acquisition of Recycled Aggregate Materials Company, Inc. ("RAMCO"), a leading producer of recycled aggregates in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, which is included in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of $77.4 million. The acquisition was funded with $80.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using Level 3 inputs. The final valuation resulted in the recognition of, among others, $54.2 million of permits with an initial weighted average useful life of 20 years, $6.4 million of property, plant, and equipment, and $13.4 million of goodwill in our Construction Products segment. The remaining assets and liabilities were not significant in relation to assets and liabilities at the consolidated or segment level.

2021 Acquisitions

Southwest Rock Products, LLC

In August 2021, we completed the stock acquisition of Southwest Rock Products, LLC and affiliated entities (collectively “Southwest Rock”), a natural aggregates company serving the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, which is included in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of $149.7 million. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand, $100.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and a $15.0 million holdback payable to the seller upon the extension of a certain mineral reserve lease. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using Level 3 inputs. The final valuation resulted in the recognition of, among others, $70.7 million of goodwill, $43.7 million of mineral reserves, and $28.0 million of property, plant, and equipment in our Construction Products segment. The remaining assets and liabilities were not significant in relation to assets and liabilities at the consolidated or segment level.

StonePoint Ultimate Holding, LLC

On April 9, 2021, we completed the stock acquisition of StonePoint Ultimate Holding, LLC and affiliated entities (collectively “StonePoint”), a top 25 U.S. construction aggregates company, which is included in our Construction Products segment. The purchase price of $372.8 million was funded with proceeds from a private offering of $400.0 million of 4.375% senior unsecured notes that closed on April 6, 2021. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination with valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using Level 3 inputs. The following table represents our final purchase price allocation as ofDecember 31, 2022:

(in millions)

Accounts receivable 18.3

Inventories 20.9

Property, plant, and equipment 68.4

Mineral reserves 198.8

Customer relationships 7.2

Other assets 10.4

Accounts payable (7.4)

Accrued liabilities (10.0)

Deferred income taxes (9.2)

Other liabilities (13.3)

Total net assets acquired $ 372.8

The goodwill acquired, none of which is tax-deductible, primarily relates to StonePoint's market position and existing workforce. The customer relationships intangible asset was assigned a useful life of 10 years. Revenues and operating profit (loss) included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations from the date of the acquisition were approximately $123.7 million and $(0.1) million during the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

Table of Contents

The following table represents the unaudited pro-forma consolidated operating results of the Company as if the StonePoint acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro-forma information makes certain adjustments to depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense to reflect the fair value recognized in the purchase price allocation, removes one-time transaction-related costs, and aligns the Company's debt financing with that as of the acquisition date. The unaudited pro-forma information should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2020, nor is such unaudited pro-forma information necessarily indicative of future results.

(in millions)

Income before income taxes $ 92.1 $ 138.9

In April 2021, we also completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas based recycled aggregates business in our Construction Products segment. The purchase price of the acquisition was not significant.

Divestitures

There was no divestiture activity during the year ended December 31, 2023.

In October 2022, the Company completed the sale of its storage tanks business for $275 million. Net cash proceeds received at closing were approximately $271.6 million, after transaction closing costs. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $189.0 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022. An additional gain of $6.4 million was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the resolution of certain contingencies from the sale. The storage tanks business, historically reported within the Engineered Structures segment as continuing operations until the date of sale, is a leading manufacturer of steel pressure tanks for the storage and transportation of propane, ammonia, and other gases serving the residential, commercial, energy, and agricultural markets with operations in the U.S. and Mexico. Revenues and operating profit of the storage tanks business prior to the sale were $188.9 million and $41.1 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022, and $216.2 million and $36.8 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2021. As the sale of the storage tanks business was not considered a strategic shift that would have had a major effect on the Company's operations or financial results, it is not reported as a discontinued operation. In October 2022, the Company used $155.0 million of the cash proceeds from the sale to repay the outstanding loans borrowed under its revolving credit facility. See Note 7 Debt for additional information.

In November 2021, we completed the divestiture of certain assets and liabilities of an asphalt operation previously acquired as part of the StonePoint acquisition with a selling price of approximately $19.0 million. The income statement impact of the disposal was not significant as the assets were recorded at fair value as of their acquisition date in April 2021.

Other

In June 2023, the Company settled a $15.0 million holdback obligation from the 2021 acquisition of Southwest Rock upon the extension of a certain mineral reserve lease. Based on final negotiations with the seller, the holdback obligation was settled for $10.0 million and paid in June 2023. The $5.0 million difference between the settlement amount and the amount accrued at the time of acquisition was recorded as a reduction in cost of revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to establish a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values are listed below:

Level 1 – This level is defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents are instruments of the U.S. Treasury or highly rated money market mutual funds.

Level 2 – This level is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Interest rate hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty. See Note 7 Debt.

Level 3 – This level is defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Contingent consideration relates to estimated future payments owed to the sellers of businesses previously acquired. We estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration using a discounted cash flow model. The fair value is sensitive to changes in the forecast of sales and changes in discount rates and is reassessed quarterly based on assumptions used in our latest projections.
