1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Orion Group Holdings, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliates (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Company”), provide a broad range of specialty construction services in the infrastructure, industrial, and building sectors of the continental United States, Alaska, Canada and the Caribbean Basin. The Company’s marine segment services the infrastructure sector through marine transportation facility construction, marine pipeline construction, marine environmental structures, dredging of waterways, channels and ports, environmental dredging, design, and specialty services. Its concrete segment services the building sector by providing turnkey concrete construction services including pour and finish, dirt work, layout, forming, rebar, and mesh across the light commercial, structural and other associated business areas. The Company is headquartered in Houston, Texas with offices throughout its operating areas.
The tools used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to allocate resources and assess performance are based on two reportable and operating segments: marine, which operates under the Orion brand and logo, and concrete, which operates under the TAS Commercial Concrete brand and logo.
Although we describe the business in this report in terms of the services the Company provides, its base of customers and the areas in which it operates, the Company has determined that its operations currently comprise two reportable segments pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting .
In making this determination, the Company considered the similar economic characteristics of its operations that comprise its marine segment. For the marine segment, the methods used, and the internal processes employed, to deliver marine construction services are similar throughout the segment, including standardized estimating, project controls and project management. This segment has the same customers with similar funding drivers and are subject to similar regulatory regimes driven through Federal agencies such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”), among others. Additionally, the segment is driven by macro-economic considerations including the level of import/export seaborne transportation, development of energy-related infrastructure, cruise line expansion and operations, marine bridge infrastructure development, waterway pipeline crossings and the maintenance of waterways. These considerations, and others, are key catalysts for future prospects and are similar across the segment.
For the concrete segment, the Company also considered the similar economic characteristics of these operations. The methods used, and the internal processes employed, to deliver concrete construction services are similar throughout the segment, including standardized estimating, project controls and project management. The projects of this segment are subject to similar regulatory regimes such as OSHA. Additionally, this segment is driven by macro-economic considerations, including movements in population, commercial real estate development, institutional funding and expansion, and recreational development, specifically in metropolitan areas of Texas. These considerations, and others, are key catalysts for current operations and future prospects and are similar across the segment.

Table of Contents
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and financial information included herein have been prepared pursuant to the interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Consequently, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Readers of this report should also read the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”) as well as Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also included in its 2021 Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.
In connection with preparing consolidated financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, the Company is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Substantial doubt exists when conditions and events, considered in aggregate, indicate that it is probable that a company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. This evaluation initially does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans and actions that have not been fully implemented as of the date that the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both: (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued; and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Generally, to be considered probable of being effectively implemented, the plans must have been approved before the date that the financial statements are issued.
The assessment of the liquidity and going concern requires the Company to make estimates of future activity and judgments about whether the Company is compliant with financial covenant calculations under its debt and other agreements and has adequate liquidity to operate. Significant assumptions used in the Company's forecasted model of liquidity include forecasted sales, costs, our ability to manage spending on capital expenditures, our ability to complete certain asset sales, collect claims and unapproved change order revenue, limit spending on the Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system implementation and improve working capital. Based on an assessment of these factors, management believes that the Company will have adequate liquidity for its operations for at least the next 12 months. Therefore, management’s conclusion is that substantial doubt is not raised as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Management’s estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience; however, actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the significant accounting policies used to prepare its condensed consolidated financial statements, including, but not limited to, those related to:
● Revenue recognition from construction contracts;
● The recording of accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses;
● The carrying value of property, plant and equipment;
● Leases;
● Finite and infinite-lived intangible assets, testing for indicators of impairment;
● Stock-based compensation;
● Income taxes; and
● Self-insurance.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is derived from contracts to provide marine construction, dredging, turnkey concrete services, and other specialty services. The Company’s projects are typically brief in duration, but occasionally, span a period of over one year. The Company determines the appropriate accounting treatment for each contract before work begins and, subject to qualifications discussed in the next paragraph, generally records contract revenue over time.
Performance obligations are promises in a contract to transfer distinct goods or services to the customer and are the unit of account under Topic 606. Each of the Company’s contracts and related change orders typically represent a single performance obligation because the Company provides an integrated service and individual goods and services are not separately identifiable. Revenue is recognized over time because control of the promised goods and services are continuously transferred to the customer over the life of the contract. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using its best estimate of the stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service. Progress is measured by the percentage of actual contract costs incurred to date to total estimated costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers contract costs incurred to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Contract costs include all direct costs, such as material and labor, and those indirect costs incurred that are related to contract performance such as payroll taxes and insurance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Upfront costs, such as costs to mobilize personnel and equipment prior to satisfying a performance obligation are capitalized and amortized over the contract performance period.

Table of Contents
Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and reported revenue and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. The effect of changes in estimates of contract revenue or contract costs is recognized as an adjustment to recognized revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. When the Company anticipates a loss on a contract that is not yet complete, it recognizes the entire loss in the period in which such losses are determined. Revenue is recorded net of any sales taxes collected and paid on behalf of the customer, if applicable.
Contract revenue is derived from the original contract price as modified by agreed-upon change orders and estimates of variable consideration related to incentive fees and change orders or claims for which price has not yet been agreed by the customer. The Company estimates variable consideration based on its assessment of the most likely amount to which it expects to be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the estimated recognition of revenue to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative recognized revenue will not occur. A determination that the collection of a claim is probable is based upon compliance with the terms of the contract and the extent to which the Company performed in accordance therewith but does not guarantee collection in full.
Assets and liabilities derived from contracts with customers include the following:
● Accounts Receivable: Trade, net of allowance - Represent amounts billed and currently due from customers and are stated at their estimated net realizable value.
● Accounts Receivable: Retainage - Represent amounts which have not been billed to or paid by customers due to retainage provisions in construction contracts, which amounts generally become payable upon contract completion and acceptance by the customer.
● Contract Assets - Represent revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed, which management believes will be billed and collected within one year of the completion of the contract and are recorded as a current asset, until such amounts are either received or written off.
● Contract Liabilities - Represent billings in excess of revenues recognized and are recorded as a current liability, until the underlying obligation has been performed or discharged.
Classification of Current Assets and Liabilities
The Company includes in current assets and liabilities amounts realizable and payable in the normal course of contract completion.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At times, cash held by financial institutions may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not historically sustained losses on its cash balances in excess of federally insured limits. Cash equivalents at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted primarily of overnight bank deposits.
Risk Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of accounts receivable.

Table of Contents
The Company depends on its ability to continue to obtain federal, state and local governmental contracts, and indirectly, on the amount of funding available to these agencies for new and current governmental projects. Therefore, a portion of the Company’s operations is dependent upon the level and timing of government funding. Statutory mechanics liens provide the Company high priority in the event of lien foreclosures following financial difficulties of private owners, thus minimizing credit risk with private customers.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are stated at the historical carrying value, net of allowances for credit losses. The Company had significant investments in billed and unbilled receivables as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Billed receivables represent amounts billed upon the completion of small contracts and progress billings on large contracts in accordance with contract terms and milestone achievements. Unbilled receivables on contracts represent recoverable costs and accrued profits that are not yet capable of being billed under the terms of the applicable contracts. Revenue associated with these billings is recorded net of any sales tax, if applicable.
Past due balances over 90 days and other higher risk receivables identified by management are reviewed individually for collectability. In establishing an allowance for credit losses, the Company evaluates its contract receivables and contract assets and thoroughly reviews historical collection experience, the financial condition of its customers, billing disputes and other factors. The Company writes off potentially uncollectible accounts receivable against the allowance for credit losses if it is determined that the amounts will not be collected or if a settlement with respect to a disputed receivable is reached for an amount that is less than the carrying value. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had recorded an allowance for credit losses of $ 0.5 million and $ 0.3 million, respectively.
Balances billed to customers but not paid pursuant to retainage provisions in construction contracts generally become payable upon contract completion and acceptance by the owner. Retainage at September 30, 2022 totaled $ 46.9 million, of which $ 3.8 million is expected to be collected beyond September 30, 2023. Retainage at December 31, 2021 totaled $ 41.4 million.
From time to time, the Company negotiates change orders and claims with its customers. Unsuccessful negotiations of claims could result in a change to contract revenue that is less than amounts previously recorded, which could result in the recording of a loss in the amount of the shortfall. Successful claims negotiations could result in the recovery of previously recorded losses. Significant losses on receivables could adversely affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations and overall liquidity.
Advertising Costs
The Company primarily obtains contracts through the open bid process, and therefore advertising costs are not a significant component of expense. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Environmental Costs
Costs related to environmental remediation are charged to expense. Other environmental costs are also charged to expense unless they increase the value of the property and/or provide future economic benefits, in which event the costs are capitalized. Environmental liabilities, if any, are recognized when the liability is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company did not recognize any environmental liabilities as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company evaluates and presents certain amounts included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at “fair value” in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the Company to base its estimates on assumptions that market participants, in an orderly transaction, would use to price an asset or liability, and to establish a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to determine fair value. Refer to Note 8 for more information regarding fair value determination.
The Company generally applies fair value valuation techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with (1) valuing assets and liabilities acquired in connection with business combinations and other transactions; (2) valuing potential impairment loss related to long-lived assets; and (3) valuing potential impairment loss related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Inventory
Current inventory consists of parts and small equipment held for use in the ordinary course of business and is valued at the lower of cost (using historical average cost) or net realizable value. Where shipping and handling costs are incurred by the Company, these charges are included in inventory and charged to cost of contract revenue upon use. Non-current inventory consists of spare parts (including engines, cutters and gears) that require special order or long-lead times for manufacture or fabrication, but must be kept on hand to reduce downtime and is valued at the lower of cost (using historical average cost) or net realizable value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Ordinary maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful life of the asset are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and betterments of equipment are capitalized and depreciated generally over three to ten years until the next scheduled maintenance.
When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets for financial statement purposes, as follows:
Automobiles and trucks
3 to 10 years
Buildings and improvements
10 to 30 years
Construction equipment
3 to 10 years
Vessels and other equipment
3 to 40 years
Office equipment
3 to 5 years
The Company generally uses accelerated depreciation methods for tax purposes where beneficial.
Dry-docking costs are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over a period ranging from three to seven years . Dry-docking costs include, but are not limited to, the inspection, refurbishment and replacement of steel, engine components, tailshafts, mooring equipment and other parts of the vessel. Amortization related to dry-docking activities is included as a component of depreciation. These costs and the related amortization periods are periodically reviewed to determine if the estimates are accurate. If warranted, a significant upgrade of equipment may result in a revision to the useful life of the asset, in which case the change is accounted for prospectively.
13
Table of Contents
Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value, less the costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. There were no assets classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
Leases
Management determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract or modification of the contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset.
Finance and operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. As the implicit rate is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The expected lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.
The Company’s lease arrangements have lease and non-lease components. Leases with an expected term of 12 months or less are not accounted for on the balance sheet and the related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.
The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
See Note 18 for more information regarding leases.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized. In addition, the Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets in each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision of the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining life is changed, the remaining carrying value of such asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. Intangible assets that have infinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to impairment testing at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired.
The Company has one infinite-lived intangible asset, a trade name, which it tests for impairment annually on October 31, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the trade name may not be recoverable. Impairment is calculated as the excess of the trade name’s carrying value over its fair value. The fair value of the trade name is determined using the relief from royalty method, a variation of the income approach. This method assumes that if a company owns intellectual property, it does not have to “rent” the asset and is, therefore, “relieved” from paying a royalty. Once a supportable royalty rate is determined, the rate
14
Table of Contents
is then applied to the projected revenues over the expected remaining life of the intangible assets to estimate the royalty savings. This approach is dependent on a number of factors, including estimates of future growth and trends, royalty rates, discount rates and other variables.
See Note 9 for additional discussion of intangible assets and trade name impairment testing.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for equity awards over the vesting period based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. The computed fair value of these awards is recognized as a non-cash cost over the period the employee provides services, which is typically the vesting period of the award. The fair value of restricted stock grants and restricted stock units is equivalent to the fair value of the stock issued on the date of grant and is measured as the closing price of the stock on the date of grant.
Compensation expense is recognized only for stock-based payments expected to vest. The Company estimates forfeitures at the date of grant based on historical experience and future expectations. This assessment is updated on a periodic basis. See Note 15 for further discussion of the Company’s stock-based compensation plan.
Income Taxes
The Company determines its consolidated income tax provision using the asset and liability method prescribed by U.S. GAAP, which requires the recognition of income tax expense for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current period and for deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. The Company must make significant assumptions, judgments and estimates to determine its current provision for income taxes, its deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance to be recorded against any deferred tax asset. The current provision for income tax is based upon the current tax laws and the Company’s interpretation of these laws, as well as the probable outcomes of any tax audits. The value of any net deferred tax asset depends upon estimates of the amount and category of future taxable income reduced by the amount of any tax benefits that the Company does not expect to realize. Actual operating results and the underlying amount and category of income in future years could render current assumptions, judgments and estimates of recoverable net deferred taxes inaccurate, thus impacting the Company’s financial position and results of operations. The Company computes deferred income taxes using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under the liability method, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
15
Table of Contents
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, on its consolidated tax return. The Company evaluates and records any uncertain tax positions based on the amount that management deems is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination and ultimate settlement with the tax authorities in the tax jurisdictions in which it operates.
See Note 13 for additional discussion of income taxes.
Insurance Coverage
The Company maintains insurance coverage for its business and operations. Insurance related to property, equipment, automobile, general liability, and a portion of workers’ compensation is provided through traditional policies, subject to a deductible or deductibles. A portion of the Company’s workers’ compensation exposure is covered through a mutual association, which is subject to supplemental calls.
The marine segment maintains five levels of excess loss insurance coverage, totaling $ 200 million in excess of primary coverage. The marine segment’s excess loss coverage responds to most of its policies when a primary limit of $ 1 million has been exhausted; provided that the primary limit for Contingent Maritime Employer’s Liability is $ 10 million and the Watercraft Pollution Policy primary limit is $ 5 million. The concrete segment maintains five levels of excess loss insurance coverage, totaling $ 200 million in excess of primary coverage. The concrete segment’s excess loss coverage responds to most of its policies when a primary limit of $ 1 million has been exhausted.
If a claim arises and a potential insurance recovery is probable, the impending gain is recognized separately from the related loss. The recovery will only be recognized up to the amount of the loss once the recovery of the claim is deemed probable and any excess gain will fall under contingency accounting and will only be recognized once it is realized. The Company does not net insurance recoveries against the related claim liability as the amount of the claim liability is determined without consideration of the anticipated insurance recoveries from third parties.
Separately, the Company’s marine segment employee health care is paid for by general assets of the Company and currently administered by a third party. The administrator has purchased appropriate stop-loss coverage. Losses on these policies up to the deductible amounts are accrued based upon known claims incurred and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. The accruals are derived from known facts, historical trends and industry averages to determine the best estimate of the ultimate expected loss. Actual claims may vary from estimates. Any adjustments to such reserves are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which they become known. The Company’s concrete segment employee health care is provided through two policies. A fully funded policy is offered primarily to salaried employees and their dependents while a partially self-funded plan with an appropriate stop-loss is offered primarily to hourly employees and their dependents. The self-funded plan is funded to the maximum exposure and, as a result, is expected to receive a partial refund after the policy expiration.
The total accrual for insurance claims liabilities was $ 4.0 million and $ 19.8 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, reflected as a component of accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The total accrual for insurance claims receivable was $ 0.1 million and $ 13.3 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, reflected as a component of other current accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting , but has disaggregated its contract revenues in the above chart in terms of services provided within such segments. In making this determination, the Company considered the similar characteristics of its operations as discussed in Note 1 . Additionally, as discussed, both the marine and concrete segments have limited contracts with multiple performance obligations. The Company’s contracts are often estimated and bid as one project and evaluated as to performance as one project, not by individual services performed by each. Both the marine and concrete segments have a single leader responsible for the entire segment, not by service lines of the segments. Resources are allocated by segment and financial and budgetary information is compiled and reviewed by segment, not service line.
Marine Segment
Construction services include construction, restoration, maintenance, dredging and repair of marine transportation facilities, marine pipelines, bridges and causeways and marine environmental structures. Dredging services generally enhance or preserve the navigability of waterways or the protection of shorelines through the removal or replenishment of soil, sand or rock. Specialty services include design, salvage, demolition, surveying, towing, diving and underwater inspection, excavation and repair.
Concrete Segment
Structural services include elevated concrete pouring for products such as columns, elevated beams and structural walls. Light commercial services include horizontally poured concrete for products such as slabs, sidewalks, ramps and tilt walls. Other services comprise labor related to concrete pouring such as rebar installation and pumping services and typically support the Company’s structural and light commercial services.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, no single customer exceeded 10.0% of total contract revenues.
The Company does not believe that the loss of any one of its customers would have a material adverse effect on the Company or its subsidiaries and affiliates since no single specific customer sustains such a large portion of receivables or contract revenue over time.
The concrete segment primarily purchases concrete from select suppliers. The loss of any one of these suppliers could adversely impact short-term operations.
Contract revenues generated outside the United States totaled 1.4 % and 0.0 % of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 0.9 % and 0.6 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and were primarily located in the Caribbean Basin and Mexico.

See Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for discussion of the accounting for these claims.
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders or other written contractual commitments from customers for which work has not been performed or is partially completed and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders. As of September 30, 2022, the aggregate amount of the remaining performance obligations was approximately $ 548.6 million. Of this amount, the current expectation of the Company is that it will recognize $ 456.0 million, or 83 %, in the next 12 months and the remaining balance thereafter.

8. Fair Value
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Due to their short-term nature, the Company believes that the carrying value of its accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair values.
The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities into the following three levels based on the inputs used to measure fair value in the order of priority indicated:
● Level 1- fair values are based on observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
20
Table of Contents
● Level 2 - fair values are based on pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date; and
● Level 3- fair values are based on unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s recurring financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Our concrete segment had life insurance policies with a combined face value of $ 11.1 million as of September 30, 2022. The policies are invested in mutual funds and the fair value measurement of the cash surrender balance associated with these policies is determined using Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy and will vary with investment performance. These assets are included in the "Other noncurrent" asset section in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company generally applies fair value valuation techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with (1) valuing assets and liabilities acquired in connection with business combinations and other transactions; (2) valuing potential impairment loss related to long-lived assets; and (3) valuing potential impairment loss related to the infinite-lived intangible asset.
Other Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s debt at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 approximated its carrying value of $ 31.1 million and $ 39.4 million, respectively, as interest is based on current market interest rates for debt with similar risk and maturity. If the Company’s debt was measured at fair value, it would have been classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Remaining net finite-lived intangible assets were acquired as part of the purchase of TAS during 2015 and TBC during 2017 and included customer relationships. Customer relationships were valued at approximately $ 18.8 million and are being amortized over eight years using an accelerated method based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are consumed. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, $ 0.3 million and $ 0.9 million, respectively, of amortization expense was recognized for these assets.
Future expense remaining of approximately $ 0.7 million will be amortized as follows:

CARES Act
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) which among other things includes an optional payment deferral of the employer's portion of the Social Security taxes that were otherwise due through December 31, 2020. The Company elected to defer payments of approximately $ 7.6 million with $ 3.8 million paid in December 2021 and the remaining $ 3.8 million due December 2022, reflected in accrued liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
11. Debt
The Company entered into an amended syndicated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement” also known as the “Fourth Amendment”) on July 31, 2018 with Regions Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the following co-syndication agents: Bank of America, N.A., BOKF, NA dba Bank of Texas, KeyBank National Association, NBH Bank, IBERIABANK, Trustmark National Bank, First Tennessee Bank NA, and Branch Banking and Trust Company. The Credit Agreement was subsequently amended in March 2019 (the “Fifth Amendment”), May 2019 (the “Sixth Amendment”), June 2020 (the “Seventh Amendment”), October 2020 (the “Eighth Amendment”), and March 2022 (the “Ninth Amendment”). The Company incurred debt issuance costs related to the initial Credit Agreement and several of the subsequent amendments. The Credit Facility matures on July 31, 2023.
The Credit Agreement, which may be amended from time to time, provides for borrowings under a revolving line of credit and a term loan (together, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the subsidiaries of the Company, secured by the assets of the Company, including stock held in its subsidiaries, and may be used to finance general corporate and working capital purposes, to finance capital expenditures, to refinance existing indebtedness, to finance permitted acquisitions and associated fees, and to pay for all related expenses to the Credit Facility. Interest is due and is computed based on the designation of the loan, with the option of a Base Rate Loan (the base rate plus the Applicable Margin), or an Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loan (the adjusted LIBOR rate plus the Applicable Margin). Interest is due on the last day of each quarter end for Base Rate Loans and at the end of the LIBOR rate period for Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans. Principal balances drawn under the Credit Facility may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. Amounts repaid under the revolving line of credit may be re-borrowed.
Effective, March 1, 2022, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, waive certain covenant defaults, reset the revolver limit, implement an anti-cash hoarding provision and institute temporary covenant requirements. The amendment reduced the commitment on the revolving line of credit to $ 42.5 million. With the execution of the Ninth Amendment, the existing Credit Facility was treated as a modification of debt and accounted for under the guidelines of ASC 470-50, Debt, Modifications and Extinguishments. The new debt issuance costs of approximately $ 1.0 million, inclusive of appraisal and bank consulting fees, related to the execution of the Ninth Amendment will be amortized through the maturity date.
The quarterly weighted average interest rate for the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2022 was 6.88 %.

Provisions of the revolving line of credit
The Company has a maximum borrowing availability under the revolving line of credit and swingline loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of $ 42.5 million. There is a letter of credit sublimit that is equal to the lesser of $ 20.0 million and the aggregate unused amount of the revolving commitments then in effect. There is also a swingline sublimit equal to the lesser of $ 5.0 million and the aggregate unused amount of the revolving commitments then in effect.
Revolving loans may be designated as Base Rate Loan or Adjusted LIBOR Rate Loans, at the Company’s request, and must be drawn in an aggregate minimum amount of $ 1.0 million and integral multiples of $ 250,000 in excess of that amount. Swingline loans must be drawn in an aggregate minimum amount of $ 250,000 and integral multiples of $ 50,000 in excess of that amount. The Company may convert, change, or modify such designations from time to time.
The Company is subject to a commitment fee for the unused portion of the maximum borrowing availability under the revolving line of credit. The commitment fee, which is due quarterly in arrears, is equal to the Applicable Margin of the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceeds the Total Revolving Outstanding. The revolving line of credit termination date is the earlier of the Credit Facility termination date, July 31, 2023, or the date the outstanding balance is permanently reduced to zero, in accordance with the terms of the amended Credit Facility.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $ 30.0 million of borrowings under the revolving line of credit. There were $ 1.7 million in outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2022, which reduced the maximum borrowing availability on the revolving line of credit to $ 10.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company drew down $ 9.0 million for general corporate purposes and made payments of $ 18.0 million on the revolving line of credit which resulted in a net decrease of $ 9.0 million.
Other debt
The Company has entered into debt agreements with De Lage Landen Financial Services, Inc. and Mobilease for the purpose of financing equipment purchased. As of September 30, 2022, the carrying value of this debt was $ 1.1 million. The agreements are secured by the financed equipment assets and the debt is included as a component of current debt and long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Sale-Leaseback Arrangement
On September 27, 2019, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company sold its 17300 & 17140 Market Street location in Channelview, Texas (the “Property”) for a purchase price of $ 19.1 million. Concurrent with the sale of the Property, the Company entered into a fifteen-year lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”), whereby the Company will lease back the Property at an annual rental rate of approximately $ 1.5 million, subject to annual rent increases of 2.0 %. Under the Lease Agreement, the Company has two consecutive options to extend the term of the Lease by ten years for each such option. This transaction was recorded as a failed sale-leaseback. The Company recorded a liability for the amounts received, will continue to depreciate the non-land portion of the asset, and has imputed an interest rate so that the net carrying amount of the financial liability and remaining assets will be zero at the end of the initial lease term.
13. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities available to it. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates its annual tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly tax provision in accordance with the anticipated annual rate.

The effective rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 differed from the Company’s statutory federal rate of 21 % primarily due to the tax impact from the valuation allowance for current year activity, state income taxes and the non-deductibility of other permanent items.
The Company assessed the realizability of its deferred tax assets and determined that it was more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets would not be realized and therefore recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets. The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, available carryback periods, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. For the period ended September 30, 2022 the Company evaluated all positive and negative evidence in determining the amount of deferred tax assets more likely than not to be realized. Based on the review of available evidence, Management believes that a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2022 remains appropriate.
The Company does not expect that unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2022 for certain federal income tax matters will significantly change due to any settlement and/or expiration of statutes of limitations over the next 12 months. The final outcome of these tax positions is not yet determinable. The Company’s uncertain tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.
14. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as well as the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents during each period net income is generated. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had 322,637 and 793,028 securities, respectively, that were potentially dilutive in earnings per share calculations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had 553,813 and 866,925 securities, respectively, that were potentially dilutive in earnings per share calculations. Such dilution is dependent on the excess of the market price of our stock over the exercise price and other components of the treasury stock method. The exercise price for certain stock options awarded by the Company exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Such stock options are antidilutive and are not included in the computation of earnings per share for those periods.

15. Stock-Based Compensation
The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for the administration of the Company’s stock incentive plans, which include the balance of shares remaining under the 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2022 LTIP”), which was approved by shareholders in May 2022 and authorized the maximum aggregate number of shares to be issued of 2,175,000 plus any shares available for grant under prior long term incentive plans as of the date the 2022 LTIP was approved, and any shares subject to awards granted under the prior plans that expire or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash or otherwise terminated. In general , the Company’s 2022 LTIP provides for grants of restricted stock, performance based awards and stock options to be issued with a per-share price not less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. Option terms are specified at each grant date but generally are 10 years from the date of issuance. Options generally vest over a three to five-year period.
The Company applies a 3.2 % and a 5.5 % forfeiture rate, which is compounded over the vesting terms of the individual award, to its restricted stock and option grants, respectively, based on historical analysis.
In the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, compensation expense related to stock-based awards outstanding was $ 1.0 million and $ 0.5 million, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, compensation expense related to stock-based awards outstanding was $ 2.1 million and $ 2.2 million, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, payments related to tax withholding for stock-based compensation for certain officers of the Company was $ 0.3 million and $ 0.7 million, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, payments related to tax withholding for stock-based compensation for certain officers of the Company was $ 0.4 million and $ 0.9 million, respectively.
In January 2022, the Company granted an independent director 8,929 shares of restricted common stock, which vested immediately on the date of grant and had a fair value on the date of grant of $ 3.36 per share.
In May 2022, independent directors as well as Mr. Austin J. Shanfelter, the Company’s Executive Chairman, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, were awarded an aggregate of 623,655 shares of restricted common stock. The total number included 193,548 shares, which were awarded to the six independent directors and vested immediately on the date of the grant, as well as 430,107 shares of time-vested restricted stock units awarded to Mr. Shanfelter. In September 2022, 179,211 of the time-vested restricted stock units cliff vested and were settled in stock as a result of Mr. Shanfelter fulfilling his term as Interim Chief Executive Officer. The remaining 250,896 time-vested restricted stock units will cliff vest and will be settled

in stock, unless the Company's Compensation Committee exercises its discretion to settle all or a portion in cash (on a one-for-one basis), provided Mr. Shanfelter fulfills his term as Executive Chairman, which the Company expects to occur prior to April 6, 2023. The fair value on the date of the grant of all shares awarded in May 2022 was $ 2.79 per share.
In August 2022, the Company granted an executive 446,097 shares of restricted common stock with a vesting period of three years . In addition, the Company granted the executive 241,636 performance-based units. The performance-based units will potentially vest 100 % if the target is met, with 100 % of the units to be earned based on the achievement of an objective, tiered return on invested capital, measured over a three-year performance period. The Company evaluates the probability of achieving this each reporting period. The fair value of all grants awarded in August 2022 was $ 2.69 per unit.
In September 2022, the Company granted an executive 130,909 shares of restricted common stock with a vesting period of three years . In addition, the Company granted the executive 87,273 performance-based units. The performance-based units will potentially vest 100 % if the target is met, with 100 % of the units to be earned based on the achievement of an objective, tiered return on invested capital, measured over a three-year performance period. The Company evaluates the probability of achieving this each reporting period. The fair value of all grants awarded in September 2022 was $ 2.75 per unit.
In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were no options exercised. In the three months ended September 30, 2021, there were 4,791 options exercised, generated proceeds to the Company of less than $ 0.1 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021 there were 28,546 options exercised generating proceeds to the Company of approximately $ 0.1 million.
At September 30, 2022, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock was approximately $ 3.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a period of approximately 2.4 years.
16. Commitments and Contingencies
On August 21, 2020, a Company dredge, the Waymon L. Boyd, was consumed by a fire while working on a project in the Port of Corpus Christi. Five crewmembers were killed, several more were injured, some seriously, and the vessel was declared a total loss. This incident also resulted in the discharge of approximately 18,000 gallons of oil, diesel fuel and contaminated water into the Corpus Christi Ship Channel, all of which was promptly cleaned up. The Company has fully cooperated with the U.S. Coast Guard, the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, and the National Transportation Safety Board, among others, while they investigated the cause of this incident. The National Transportation Safety Board named the Company as a party of interest in their investigation. A total of eight separate lawsuits were filed against the Company by certain crewmembers or their heirs under the general maritime law and the Jones Act. In response thereto, the Company filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas that requested consolidation of the lawsuits for procedural purposes since they all arose out of the same occurrence and sought exoneration from or limitation of liability relating to the foregoing incident as provided for in the federal rules of procedure for maritime claims. The Limitation Court set a deadline of February 17, 2021 by which all claims were required to be filed and as of the Court’s deadline, thirteen persons, estates and/or entities filed claims in the Limitation for personal injuries, death, property damages and business interruption, loss of profit, loss of use of natural resources and other economic damages for unspecified economic and compensatory damages. The Company then filed a Default Motion with the Court, which was granted on April 8, 2021 that barred the filing of any further claims. Applicable accounting guidance under ASC 450 required the Company to recognize a loss if the loss is determined to be probable and reasonably estimable. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had recognized
28
Table of Contents
$ 206.4 million in total liabilities with respect to this incident, which includes approximately $ 206.1 million paid by the Company to date including full settlements with crewmembers and wreck removal costs, and accruals totaling approximately $ 0.3 million for outstanding claims. All claims arising from the August 21, 2020 incident have been settled within insurance coverage limits, the carriers of such insurance have reimbursed the Company $ 205.3 million, to date, and the Company remains confident that it otherwise has adequate vessels, equipment, and personnel to fulfill all ongoing, booked and reasonably foreseeable work.
In addition, the Company is involved in various other legal and other proceedings which are incidental to the conduct of its business, none of which in the opinion of management will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Management believes that it has recorded adequate accrued liabilities and believes that it has adequate insurance coverage or has meritorious defenses for these other claims and contingencies.
17. Segment Information
