Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- Description of Business
Organization Structure
Centuri Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings” and, collectively with the Operating Company (as defined below) and its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Centuri”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in June 2023. Holdings was formed for the purpose of completing an initial public offering and facilitating the separation of Centuri Group, Inc. (the “Operating Company”) from Southwest Gas Holdings, Inc. (“Southwest Gas Holdings”) in order to carry on the business of the Operating Company. On April 13, 2024, Holdings issued 71,664,592 shares of common stock to Southwest Gas Holdings as consideration for the transfer of assets and assumption of liabilities of the Operating Company (“the Separation”). Following the completion of the Separation, the Operating Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings, and all of Holdings’ operations are conducted through the Operating Company. The Operating Company is considered to be Holdings’ predecessor for accounting purposes.
Description of Operations
The Company is a North American utility infrastructure services company, and it partners with regulated utilities to maintain, upgrade and expand the energy network that powers millions of homes and businesses. The Company’s service offerings primarily consist of the modernization of utility infrastructure through the replacement, maintenance, retrofitting and installation of electric and natural gas distribution and utility-scale transmission networks, building capacity to meet current and future demands. The Company operates through a family of complementary companies working together across different geographies to establish solid customer relationships and a strong reputation for a wide range of capabilities.
Initial Public Offering and Secondary Offerings
On April 17, 2024, the registration statement related to the initial public offering of Holdings’ common stock was declared effective, and Holdings’ common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker “CTRI” (the “Centuri IPO”) on April 18, 2024. On April 22, 2024, the Centuri IPO and a concurrent private placement were completed with total final net proceeds of $327.7 million. As of the closing of the Centuri IPO, Southwest Gas Holdings owned 71,665,592 shares of Holdings’ common stock (“CTRI shares”), or approximately 81% of total outstanding CTRI shares.
Subsequent to the Centuri IPO, Southwest Gas Holdings divested all of its remaining ownership interest in the Company through the course of several transactions described in more detail below. The Company did not receive any proceeds from any of these transactions.
On May 22, 2025 and June 18, 2025, Southwest Gas Holdings completed secondary public offerings, selling a total of 21,562,500 CTRI shares, with additional private placements closing on May 22, 2025 and July 8, 2025, in which Southwest Gas Holdings sold a total of 3,917,382 CTRI shares to Icahn Partners LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, investment entities associated with Carl C. Icahn (“Icahn Partners”). After these transactions, Southwest Gas Holdings owned 46,185,710 CTRI shares, or approximately 52% of total outstanding CTRI shares.
On August 11, 2025, Southwest Gas Holdings completed another secondary public offering of 17,250,000 CTRI shares and concurrent private placement to Icahn Partners of 1,573,500 CTRI shares (together, the “August sell-down”). After completion of the August sell-down, Southwest Gas Holdings owned 27,362,210 CTRI shares, or approximately 31% of total outstanding CTRI shares, resulting in (i) the loss of its controlling interest in the Company and (ii) the
Company ceasing to be a “controlled company” under the NYSE rules.
On September 5, 2025, Southwest Gas Holdings completed a final secondary public offering (the “Final Disposition”) of its remaining 27,362,210 CTRI shares. As a result, Southwest Gas Holdings no longer holds any ownership interest in the Company and relinquished governance rights originally afforded to it under the Separation Agreement, including the right to nominate any members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and to approve certain of the
Company’s corporate actions. For additional information about the Separation Agreement and other agreements signed as part of the Separation and Centuri IPO, refer to “Note 13 — Related Parties.”
- Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows with respect to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations and comprehensive income for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. The results of the Company have historically been subject to significant seasonal fluctuations.
The Company uses a 52/53-week fiscal year that ends on the Sunday closest to the end of the calendar year. Unless otherwise stated, references to months, quarters and years in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements relate to fiscal months, quarters and years rather than calendar months, quarters and years. The fiscal nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 each had 39 weeks, and the third fiscal quarters of 2025 and 2024 each had 13 weeks.
Revisions
On the condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity, the caption titled “Distribution to related party - parent” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 was renamed “Separate return method tax adjustment” to differentiate these adjustments to additional paid-in capital from the contribution of deferred tax assets by Southwest Gas Holdings as part of tax deconsolidation (discussed further in “Note 11 — Income Taxes”).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The update enhances income tax disclosure requirements. This update is effective beginning with the Company’s 2025 fiscal year annual reporting period, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this update will have on its disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The update enhances the level of detail available related to reporting about expenses. This update will be effective for the Company beginning with the annual reporting for the fiscal year ending 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the rules will have on its disclosures.
- Revenue and Related Balance Sheet Accounts
The following table presents the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by contract type (in thousands):
| Fiscal Three Months Ended | Fiscal Nine Months Ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| September 28, 2025 | September 29, 2024 | September 28, 2025 | September 29, 2024 | |
| Contract Type: | ||||
| Master services agreements | $653,199 | $569,000 | $1,666,261 | $1,571,701 |
| Bid contracts | 196,845 | 151,053 | 457,916 | 348,450 |
| Total revenue | $850,044 | $720,053 | $2,124,177 | $1,920,151 |
| Unit-price contracts | $473,698 | $412,871 | $1,179,400 | $1,119,161 |
| Time and materials contracts | 181,201 | 168,940 | 479,321 | 417,900 |
| Fixed-price contracts | 195,145 | 138,242 | 465,456 | 383,090 |
| Total revenue | $850,044 | $720,053 | $2,124,177 | $1,920,151 |
Contract assets and liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):
| September 28,2025 | December 29,2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Current contract assets | $390,043 | $238,169 |
| Non-current contract assets | 28,753 | 23,854 |
| Contract assets, total | 418,796 | 262,023 |
| Contract liabilities | (32,057) | (24,975) |
| Net contract assets | $386,739 | $237,048 |
Contract assets primarily consist of revenue earned on contracts in progress in excess of billings, which relates to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed and/or approved at the reporting date as well as contract retention balances. Contract assets that are not expected to be invoiced and collected within a year of the financial statement date (“Non-current contract assets”) are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenue earned on contracts in progress in excess of billings are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional.
As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company had recorded approximately $43.3 million and $24.8 million, respectively, in contract assets related to net recovery claims and unapproved change orders. Claims and unapproved change orders occur when there is a dispute regarding a change in the scope of work and associated price for work already performed, and/or when the Company otherwise performs work above the scope of the initial contract without a formally executed change order. The Company records estimated claims and unapproved change orders as variable consideration based on the most likely amount it expects to receive, and to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty with the variable consideration is resolved.
Total contract assets increased $156.8 million during the fiscal nine months ended September 28, 2025 due primarily to increased revenue and the timing of billings, which is based on the achievement of certain milestones. Contract assets are recoverable from the Company’s customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of a contract. In addition, many of the Company’s time and materials (“T&M”) contract arrangements are billed in arrears pursuant to contract terms that are standard within the industry, resulting in revenue earned on contracts in progress in excess of billings and/or unbilled receivables being recorded as revenue is recognized in advance of billings. The lag in billing due to the aforementioned contractual provisions may create circumstances in which material changes to a customer’s business, cash flows or financial condition, which may be impacted by negative economic or market conditions, could affect the Company’s ability to bill and subsequently collect amounts due. These changes may result in the need to record an estimate of the amount of loss from uncollectible receivables.
Contract liabilities primarily consist of amounts billed in excess of revenue earned related to the advance consideration received from customers for which work has not yet been completed. The increase in the contract liability balance of $7.1 million from December 29, 2024 to September 28, 2025 was due to additional payments received in advance of work completed, net of approximately $19.7 million of revenue recognized that was included in the balance as of December 29, 2024.
The Company considers retention and unbilled amounts to customers to be conditional contract assets, as payment is contingent on the occurrence of a future event. Accounts receivable, net, includes only amounts that are unconditional in nature, which means only the passage of time remains and the Company has invoiced the customer. Similarly, contract liabilities include amounts billed in excess of revenue earned on contracts in progress related to fixed-price, unit-price and T&M contracts. In the event contract assets or contract liabilities are expected to be recognized more than one year from the financial statement date, the Company classifies those amounts as long-term contract assets or contract liabilities, included in other assets or other long-term liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Similarly, accounts receivable balances expected to be collected beyond one year are recorded as long-term within other assets.
For contracts where payment is expected to be collected less than one year from when services are performed (as determined at contract inception), the Company uses the practical expedient and does not consider the time value of money. For contracts with an original duration of one year or less, the Company has not disclosed the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of the end of each reporting period or the related timing of revenue recognition.
As of September 28, 2025, the Company had 47 fixed-price contracts with an original duration of more than one year. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations of these contracts as of September 28, 2025 was $321.0 million. The Company expects to recognize the remaining performance obligations of these contracts over approximately the next 2.5 years; however, the timing of that recognition is largely within the control of the customer, including when the necessary equipment and materials required to complete the work will be provided by the customer.

- Segment Information
The Company reports its results under four reportable segments: (i) U.S. Gas Utility Services (“U.S. Gas”); (ii) Canadian Gas Utility Services (“Canadian Gas”); (iii) Union Electric Utility Services (“Union Electric”); and (iv) Non-Union Electric Utility Services (“Non-Union Electric”).
The Company’s president and chief executive officer serves as the Company's chief operating decision maker (the "CODM"). The Company’s reportable segments are established in consideration of differences in services, geographic areas and workforce composition (union vs. non-union). The Company has not aggregated any operating segments into reportable segments. The CODM reviews short-term and long-term trends and budget-to-actual variances in gross profit to assess performance across the different segments in determining where to allocate resources.
U.S. Gas
U.S. Gas provides comprehensive services, including maintenance, replacement, repair and installation for local natural gas distribution utilities (“LDCs”) focused on the modernization of customers’ infrastructure throughout the U.S. The work performed within this segment includes solutions for all stages of utility work and is performed primarily within the distribution, utility-scale transmission and end-user infrastructure, rather than large-scale, project-based, cross-country transmission. In addition, U.S. Gas performs other underground services, including water and fiber, and has an in-house fabrication shop providing pipe and component assembly. The Company is able to cater to the needs of its gas utility services and energy customers by serving union and non-union markets.
Canadian Gas
Canadian Gas provides comprehensive services, including maintenance, replacement, repair and installation for LDCs focused on the modernization of customers’ infrastructure in Canada. The work performed within this segment includes solutions for all stages of utility work and is performed primarily within the distribution, urban transmission and end-user infrastructure, rather than large-scale, project-based, cross-country transmission. Canadian Gas only serves union markets.
Union Electric
Union Electric provides a comprehensive set of electric utility services encompassing maintenance, replacement, repair, upgrade and expansion services for urban transmission and local distribution infrastructure within union markets. The work performed within this segment is focused primarily on recurring local distribution and urban transmission services under master services agreements (“MSAs”), as opposed to large-scale, project-based, cross-country transmission, and services are primarily focused on infrastructure between the substation and end-user meter. In addition to core electric utility infrastructure, this segment provides heavy industrial work, including civil, mechanical, electrical, and fabrication (component assembly) services.
Non-Union Electric
Non-Union Electric provides a comprehensive set of electric utility services encompassing maintenance, replacement, repair, upgrade and expansion services for urban transmission and local distribution infrastructure within non-union markets. The work performed within this segment is focused almost exclusively on recurring local distribution and urban transmission services under MSAs as opposed to large-scale, project-based, cross-country transmission, and services are primarily focused on infrastructure between the substation and end-user meter.

- Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility
In September 2024, the Company entered into athree-year accounts receivable securitization facility for an aggregate amount of up to $125.0 million (the “Securitization Facility”), with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC"), to enhance the Company's financial flexibility by providing additional liquidity.
Under the Securitization Facility, certain designated subsidiaries of the Company may sell or contribute their accounts receivable and contract assets generated in the ordinary course of their businesses and certain related assets to an indirect wholly owned bankruptcy-remote Special Purpose Entity (“SPE”) of the Company created specifically for this purpose. The SPE is a variable interest entity, and the Company is the primary beneficiary and therefore consolidates the SPE. The SPE transfers ownership and control of accounts receivable to PNC for payments as set forth in the agreement. The Company accounts for accounts receivable sold to the banking counterparty as a sale of financial assets and has derecognized the accounts receivable from the condensed consolidated balance sheet for the current period.
The total outstanding balance of accounts receivable that had been sold and derecognized was $125.0 million as of September 28, 2025. The Company hadno unused capacity on the Securitization Facility as of both September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024.
Additionally, the SPE owned accounts receivable and contract assets of $67.5 million and $135.8 million, respectively, as of September 28, 2025 and $45.2 million and $78.3 million, respectively, as of December 29, 2024 which were not sold to PNC. These balances are primarily included in accounts receivable, net and contract assets (and the accompanying related party captions) in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet, with certain non-current balances being included in other assets.
During the fiscal three and nine months ended September 28, 2025, the Company incurred $1.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively, in yield fees on the Securitization Facility, which were recorded in interest expense, net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(1)Fair values as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 were determined using the Company’s credit rating.
On August 27, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement. The agreement provided for a $1.145 billion secured term loan facility, at a discount of 1.00%, and a $400 million secured revolving credit facility. On July 9, 2025, the Company signed the sixth amendment to its amended and restated credit agreement to refinance and replace in full the existing term loan facility with an $800 million term loan facility, $93.6 million of which is comprised of new term loans used to refinance existing indebtedness and $706.4 million of which was used to refinance existing term loans. This amendment also increased the maximum principal amount of the senior secured revolving credit facility from $400 million to $450 million. This multi-currency facility allows the Company to request loan advances in either Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the revolving line of credit portion of the facility are available to be re-borrowed.
As a result of the refinance, the Company’s term loan facility, previously set to mature on August 27, 2028, is now set to mature on July 9, 2032, and the revolving credit facility, previously set to mature on August 27, 2026, is now set to mature on July 9, 2030. The term loan facility, which previously did not have any principal payments due aside from a balloon payment at maturity, now requires quarterly principal payments of $2.0 million with the remainder paid in a balloon payment at maturity.
The Company evaluated whether modification or extinguishment accounting should be applied on a lender-by-lender basis in association with the refinance. The results of this analysis are summarized below:
Term loan facility: $1.9 million in unamortized debt issuance costs were written-off related to debt extinguishments, and $6.0 million in third-party fees related to debt modifications were expensed. These $7.9 million in costs were recorded within interest expense, net on the statement of operations. A total of $3.7 million in new lender and third-party costs incurred in the refinance were capitalized as a reduction in long-term debt and will be amortized over the life of the term loan facility.
Revolving credit facility:$0.4 million in unamortized debt issuance costs were written-off related to debt extinguishments and recorded within interest expense, net on the statement of operations. A total of $1.5 million in new third-party fees were capitalized and will be amortized over the life of the revolving credit facility. These capitalized costs are recorded within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The obligations under the credit agreement are secured by present and future ownership interests in substantially all direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, substantially all of the tangible and intangible personal property of each borrower, and all products, profits, and proceeds of the foregoing. The Company’s assets securing the facility as of September 28, 2025 totaled $2.1 billion. The credit agreement also contains a restriction on dividend payments with an available amount generally defined as $65.0 million plus 50% of the Company’s consolidated net income since the beginning of the third fiscal quarter of 2025 adjusted for certain items, such as parent capital contributions, redeemable noncontrolling interest payments, and dividend payments, among other adjustments, as applicable.
The applicable margin for the newly amended revolving credit facility ranges from 1.25% to 2.25% for SOFR and Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) loans and from 0.25% to 1.25% for base rate loans, depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio. The newly amended term loan facility has a fixed margin of 1.25% for base rate loans and 2.25% for SOFR loans, which is 0.25% lower than the rates prior to the sixth amendment. The table below summarizes the weighted average interest rates on the term loan facility and revolving credit facility as of the end of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024:
| September 28,2025 | December 29,2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Term loan facility | 6.57% | 7.19% |
| Revolving credit facility | 6.53% | 5.94% |
Immediately prior to the sixth amendment, the Company was required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00, and an interest coverage ratio of greater than a minimum of 2.50 to 1.00 under the revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the sixth amendment signed on July 9, 2025, the Company is required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.50 to 1.00 for any future quarter ending prior to September 30, 2026, and 4.00 to 1.00 for any quarter ending on or after September 30, 2026. The requirement to maintain an interest coverage ratio of greater than a minimum of 2.50 to 1.00 remains unchanged.
As of September 28, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the revolving credit facility. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitments which ranges from 0.15% to 0.35% per annum, depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio.
As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $0.9 billion and $0.8 billion, respectively, under its amended and restated credit agreement. The amount available under the revolving line of credit is further reduced by the amount of any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company under the agreement. Accordingly, there was $297.8 million, net of outstanding letters of credit, of unused capacity on the revolving line of credit as of September 28, 2025. The Company had $68.6 million and $64.6 million of unused letters of credit available as of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively. Debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s line of credit are amortized over the term of the related line of credit. As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, there was
$3.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in debt issuance costs recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of September 28, 2025, the Company had $34.7 million of surety-backed letters of credit issued outside of its amended and restated credit agreement.
Debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s term loan facility are amortized over the term of the related debt, which approximates the effective interest method. As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, debt issuance costs of $11.1 million and $11.8 million, respectively, were recorded as a reduction to long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs is recorded as a component of interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization of debt issuance costs was $0.7 million and $1.5 million for the fiscal three-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively. During the fiscal nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 amortization of debt issuance costs was $3.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively.
As of September 28, 2025, the Company hadsix equipment term loans with initial amounts totaling approximately $150 million, with certain owned equipment used as collateral. The loans are serviced in U.S. dollars.
The fair value of the Company’s debt as of both September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 was $0.9 billion. The carrying value of the Company’s revolving credit facility approximates fair value given interest rates on the revolving credit facility approximate market rates, and typically draws on the revolving credit facility are paid back in a short period of time. The fair values of the Company’s term loan facility and equipment loans were determined utilizing a market-based valuation approach, where fair values are determined based on evaluated pricing data, and as such are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
- Leases
The Company has operating and finance leases for corporate and field offices, equipment yards, construction equipment and transportation vehicles. The Company is currently not a lessor in any significant lease arrangements. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of up to 14 years. Some of these leases include options to extend the leases, generally for optional terms of up tofive years, and some include options to terminate the leases withinone year. The equipment leases may include variable payment terms in addition to the fixed lease payments if machinery is used in excess of the standard work periods. The occurrence of these variable payments is not probable under the Company’s current operating environment and has not been included in consideration of lease payments. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are classified as short-term leases and are not recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets unless the lease contains a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, or unless it is reasonably certain that the equipment or property will be leased for greater than 12 months. Due to the seasonality of the Company’s operations, expense for short-term leases will fluctuate throughout the year with higher expense typically incurred during the periods when revenue is the greatest. As of September 28, 2025, the Company didnot have any significant executed lease agreements that had not yet commenced.

- Income Taxes
The Company’s current quarter provision for income taxes was prepared using the annual effective tax rate adjusted to remove discrete items, as those items will impact the quarter in which those items were reflected. In the third fiscal quarter of 2024, the Company calculated the income tax provision on a discrete basis as the Company determined that the annual effective tax rate method did not provide a reliable estimate for that period given significant fluctuations in estimated ordinary income resulted in significant changes in the estimated annual tax rate.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal three-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 was 78.9% and 119.9%, respectively, and for the fiscal nine months ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024 was (14.4)% and (3.1)%, respectively. Effective tax rates for the current year periods were impacted by the disproportionate amount of non-deductible expenses in relation to loss before income taxes. The effective tax rate for the third fiscal quarter of 2025 was also impacted by changes in estimates of pre-tax income. Effective tax rates for the prior year periods were impacted by the use of actual effective tax rate instead of the annual effective tax rate. Additionally, differences in income (loss) before income taxes by jurisdiction caused fluctuations in the effective tax rate when comparing periods.
The Company historically was included on the U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns of Southwest Gas Holdings and calculated income tax amounts using the separate return method as if the Company was a separate taxpayer to allow users to understand the financial position of the Company as a standalone taxable entity. This resulted in the Company recording net deferred tax assets primarily related to net operating losses and interest limitations under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which differed from tax attributes actually generated and used by Southwest Gas Holdings as the consolidated and ultimate taxable entity.
As discussed in “Note 1 — Description of Business,” Southwest Gas Holdings no longer holds an equity interest in the Company, and accordingly the Company will no longer be included in Southwest Gas Holdings’ U.S. federal and state income tax returns. As a result, certain deferred tax assets previously recorded under the separate return method were removed from the condensed consolidated balance sheet through an adjustment to additional paid-in capital. Separately, in accordance with the Company’s Tax Assets Agreement with Southwest Gas Holdings (as defined and discussed in “Note 13 — Related Parties”), the Company was allocated $55.4 million in deferred tax assets (primarily net operating losses) as part of tax deconsolidation, which is treated as a capital contribution from Southwest Gas Holdings and recorded within additional paid-in capital. The Company’s allocation of deferred tax assets from Southwest Gas Holdings is based on estimates of amounts to be included in Southwest Gas Holdings’ tax returns for 2024 and 2025, and accordingly the allocation may change in future periods until the 2025 tax return is ultimately filed, with any future changes impacting income tax expense on the statement of operations as the Company is no longer owned by Southwest Gas Holdings.
The Company regularly evaluates valuation allowances established for deferred tax assets for which future realization is uncertain, including in connection with changes in tax laws. The Company maintains a valuation allowance on certain state net operating loss carryforwards. Such valuation allowances are released as the related tax benefits are realized or when sufficient evidence exists to conclude that it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized.
As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions was $0.5 million.
As of September 28, 2025, with certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local, or Canadian examinations for years before fiscal year 2019.
On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The Act has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal three and nine months ended September 28, 2025. While further evaluation is ongoing, the Act is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Agreements related to the Separation
In connection with the Separation and the Centuri IPO, Holdings entered into several agreements with Southwest Gas Holdings on April 11, 2024, governing the relationship of the two parties following the Separation and Centuri IPO. The Final Disposition resulted in the termination of certain of Southwest Gas Holdings’ rights under these agreements. These agreements are summarized below:
Separation Agreement: Sets forth the agreements with Southwest Gas Holdings regarding the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Separation and govern, among other matters, (1) the allocation of assets and liabilities to Centuri and Southwest Gas Holdings (including Centuri’s indemnification obligations, for potentially uncapped amounts, for certain liabilities relating to Centuri’s business activities), (2) certain matters with respect to the Centuri IPO and subsequent disposition transactions by Southwest Gas Holdings, and (3) Southwest Gas Holdings’ right to receive certain information. Southwest Gas Holdings’ right to designate members to the Holdings’ Board and approve certain Company actions terminated as a result of the Final Disposition.
Tax Matters Agreement: Sets forth responsibilities and obligations with respect to all tax matters, including tax liabilities (including responsibility and potential indemnification obligations for taxes attributable to Holdings’ business and taxes arising, under certain circumstances, in connection with the Separation), tax attributes, tax contests and tax returns (including Centuri’s inclusion in the U.S. federal consolidated group tax return, and certain other combined or similar group tax returns, with Southwest Gas Holdings for applicable tax periods following the Separation, and Centuri’s continuing joint and several liability with Southwest Gas Holdings for such tax returns). As of September 28, 2025, no amounts were owed between the two parties, and as of December 29, 2024, $0.6 million was due from the Company to Southwest Gas Holdings related to income taxes.
Registration Rights Agreement: Granted to Southwest Gas Holdings certain registration rights with respect to the CTRI shares owned by Southwest Gas Holdings following the Centuri IPO. This agreement terminated upon Southwest Gas Holdings’ sale of its remaining ownership interest on September 5, 2025.
On February 24, 2025, the Company entered into an Unutilized Tax Assets Settlement Agreement (the “Tax Assets Agreement”) with Southwest Gas Holdings. The Tax Assets Agreement addresses the Company’s arrangements with Southwest Gas Holdings with respect to certain unutilized tax assets (the “Tax Assets”) that the Company has retained following deconsolidation from Southwest Gas Holdings for purposes of U.S. federal and relevant state income tax laws. Under the terms of the Tax Assets Agreement, the balance of the Tax Assets at tax deconsolidation, subject to true-up, and including the impact of any payments or deemed payments made by Southwest Gas Holdings in respect of the Tax Assets were treated as deemed capital contributions and recorded within additional paid-in capital, which resulted in an increase in Southwest Gas Holdings’ basis in its ownership of the Company’s common stock. The deemed capital contributions did not require any cash payment from the Company and had no impact on the Company’s liquidity or financial condition. As Southwest Gas Holdings no longer owns shares of the Company’s common stock, the Company will no longer be included in Southwest Gas Holdings’ U.S. federal and state income tax returns. However, Tax Assets allocated to the Company remain subject to true-up until after Southwest Gas Holdings’ U.S. federal and state tax returns for tax year 2025 are filed, with any future changes impacting income tax expense on the statement of operations.
Riggs Distler noncontrolling interest
In November 2021, certain members of Riggs Distler management acquired a 1.42%interest in the parent company of Riggs Distler, Drum Parent LLC (“Drum”). A portion of the redeemable noncontrolling interest acquired was funded through promissory notes made to noncontrolling interest holders bearing interest at the prime rate plus 2%. The promissory notes were payable by the noncontrolling interest holders upon certain triggering events, including, but not limited to, termination of employment or the redemption of any interest under the agreement. Subsequent to certain redemption transactions in fiscal year 2024, the remaining noncontrolling interest in Drum outstanding as of September 28, 2025, was 0.80%.

- Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is a named party in various legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business. Although the ultimate outcomes of active matters are currently unknown, the Company does not believe any liabilities resulting from these known matters will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, unless otherwise stated below.
NPL Construction Co. (“NPL”), a subsidiary of the Operating Company, is currently pursuing a contract claim for damages against the City of Chicago and related parties (collectively, the “City”), arising out of work that NPL performed for the City. NPL initiated this dispute through the City’s required administrative process on August 26, 2019. In response to NPL’s claim, the City has taken the position that it is entitled to withhold payments on amounts NPL believes it is owed for work already completed, claiming that further corrective work by NPL on the project is necessary and that withholding payment is appropriate until remediation is complete. On July 18, 2024, the administrative agency issued a decision denying NPL’s claim for damages. The Company disagrees with the decision of the administrative agency, and NPL filed a petition seeking a review of the administrative agency’s decision by the Circuit Court of Cook County Illinois on November 8, 2024. The Company intends to vigorously pursue this matter; however, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome. The Company may be entitled to additional revenue if all of its claims for relief are awarded in the Company’s favor. However, to the extent the Company is not successful in collecting the withheld receivables, this matter could result in an additional significant loss, which is not currently estimable due to uncertainties with respect to the proceedings. The Company can provide no assurance as to whether or when there will be material developments in this matter. The Company has not accrued any reserves for this matter to date.
The Company maintains liability insurance for various risks associated with its operations. In connection with its liability insurance policies, the Company is responsible for an initial deductible or self-insured retention amount per occurrence, after which the insurance carriers would be responsible for amounts up to the policy limits.
Employment Agreements
The Company has employment agreements with certain executives and other employees, which provide for compensation and certain other benefits and for severance payments under certain circumstances. Certain employment agreements also contain severance clauses that become effective upon a change in control of the Company. Upon the occurrence of certain defined events in the various employment agreements, the Company would be obligated to pay varying amounts to the related employees, which vary with the level of the employees’ respective responsibilities.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company provides full-service utility infrastructure services to various customers, primarily utility companies that are located throughout the U.S. and Canada. The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk related primarily to its revenue and accounts receivable and contract asset positions with customers, which is defined as greater than or equal to 10% of the Company’s consolidated balances. No customers accounted for more than 10% of revenue during the fiscal three or nine months ended September 28, 2025 or September 29, 2024. As of September 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, one Non-Union Electric segment customer had a combined accounts receivable and contract asset balance above 10% of the consolidated accounts receivable and contract assets balance, which was $102.6 million and $52.5 million, respectively, or approximately 15% and 10%, respectively, of the consolidated balance of these accounts.
The Company primarily usestwo financial banking institutions. The Company’s cash on deposit with these financial institutions exceeded the federal insurability limits as of September 28, 2025. The Company believes its cash and cash equivalents are managed by high credit quality financial institutions.
Bonds and Parent Guarantees
Many customers, particularly in connection with new construction, require the Company to post performance and payment bonds. These bonds provide a guarantee that the Company will perform under the terms of a contract and pay its subcontractors and vendors. In certain circumstances, the customer may demand that the surety make payments under the bond, and the Company must reimburse the surety for any expenses or outlays it incurs. The Company may also be required to post letters of credit as collateral in favor of the sureties, which would reduce the borrowing availability under its revolving credit facility. As of September 28, 2025, the Company was not aware of any outstanding material obligations for payments related to these bond obligations.
Performance bonds expire at various times ranging from mechanical completion of a project to a period extending beyond contract completion in certain circumstances, and therefore a determination of maximum potential amounts outstanding requires certain estimates and assumptions. Such amounts can also fluctuate from period to period based upon the mix and level of the Company’s bonded operating activity. As of September 28, 2025, the estimated total amount of outstanding performance and payment bonds was approximately $731.0 million. The Company’s estimated maximum exposure related to the value of the performance bonds outstanding is lowered on each bonded project as the cost to complete is reduced, and each commitment under a performance bond generally extinguishes concurrently with the expiration of its related contractual obligation. The estimated cost to complete these bonded projects was approximately $260.6 million as of September 28, 2025.
Additionally, from time to time, the Company guarantees certain obligations and liabilities of its subsidiaries that may arise in connection with, among other things, contracts with customers, and equipment and real estate lease obligations. These guarantees may cover all of the subsidiary’s unperformed, undischarged and unreleased obligations and liabilities under or in connection with the relevant agreement. The Company is not aware of any claims under any guarantees that are material. The responsibility under a guarantee could exceed the amount recoverable from the subsidiary alone and could materially and adversely affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
- Stock-based Compensation
The Company maintains a stock-based compensation plan, which authorizes the granting of various equity-based incentives, including restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”). Stock compensation expense is amortized on a straight line basis over the service period, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of the Company’s RSU and PSU awards is measured at the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. PSUs are earned based on the achievement of certain performance metrics in relation to a set target, and stock compensation expense may fluctuate based on the forecasted achievement prior to vesting or actual achievement of these target metrics upon vesting.
RSU grants to employees generally vest ratably on an annual basis over athree-year period following the grant date, although some awards may vest ratably on an annual basis overtwo years or cliff vest at the end of a shorter time period. RSU grants to non-employee directors typically vest at the end of aone-year period. PSU grants generally cliff vest at the end of athree-year period following the grant date. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur.
Stock compensation expense totaled approximately $2.1 million and $1.3 million for the fiscal three-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively, and totaled approximately $5.9 million and $0.8 million for the fiscal nine-month periods ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, respectively.
The table below summarizes activity related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans during the first three fiscal quarters of 2025. This table excludes RSUs and PSUs of Southwest Gas Holdings stock that were granted to certain employees of the Company prior to the Centuri IPO. The fair value of these outstanding Southwest Gas Holdings awards was not material as of September 28, 2025 or December 29, 2024.
