CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including, among other things, statements related to future events, business strategy, future performance, future operations, backlog, financial position, plans to repurchase shares of Class A common stock, estimated revenues and losses, the impact of acquisitions, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “project,” “predict,” “potential,” “targeting,” “intend,” “could,” “might,” “should,” “believe,” “outlook” and variations of such words or their negative and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and may not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events. These statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. When evaluating forward-looking statements, you should consider the risk factors and other cautionary statements described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). We believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this report are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon.
Important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
•declines in public infrastructure construction and reductions in government funding, including the funding by transportation authorities and other state and local agencies;
•risks related to our operating strategy;
•competition for projects in our local markets;
•risks associated with our capital-intensive business;
•government inquiries, requirements and initiatives, including those related to funding for public infrastructure construction, land use, environmental, health and safety matters, and government contracting requirements and other laws and regulations;
•unfavorable economic conditions and restrictive financing markets;
•our ability to successfully identify, manage and integrate acquisitions;
•our ability to obtain sufficient bonding capacity to undertake certain projects;
•our ability to accurately estimate the overall risks, requirements or costs when we bid on or negotiate contracts that are ultimately awarded to us;
•the cancellation of a significant number of contracts or our disqualification from bidding for new contracts;
•risks related to adverse weather conditions;
•climate change and related laws and regulations;
•our substantial indebtedness, costs associated therewith and the restrictions imposed on us by the terms thereof;
•our ability to manage our supply chain in a manner that ensures that we are able to obtain adequate raw materials, equipment and essential supplies;
•failure to implement growth strategies in a timely manner;
•our ability to retain key personnel and maintain satisfactory labor relations, and to manage or mitigate any labor shortages, turnover and labor cost increases;
•volatility in global energy markets due to ongoing geopolitical conflicts;
•the impact of inflation on costs of labor, raw materials and other items that are critical to our business, including fuel, concrete and steel;
•unfavorable developments affecting the banking and financial services industry;
•property damage and other claims and insurance coverage issues;
•the outcome of litigation or disputes, including employment-related, workers’ compensation and breach of contract claims;
•risks related to our information technology systems and infrastructure, including cybersecurity incidents;
•our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; and
•other events outside of our control.
These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Our future results will depend upon various other risks and uncertainties, including those described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2025 Form 10-K. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date on which any such statement is made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
Note 1 - General
Business Description
Construction Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) is a civil infrastructure company that specializes in the construction and maintenance of roadways across the Sunbelt in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company provides a variety of products and services to both public and private infrastructure projects, with an emphasis on highways, roads, bridges, airports and commercial and residential developments. The Company’s primary operations consist of (i) manufacturing and distributing hot mix asphalt (“HMA”) for both internal use and sales to third parties in connection with construction projects, (ii) paving activities, including the construction of roadway base layers and application of asphalt pavement, (iii) site development, including the installation of utility and drainage systems, (iv) mining aggregates, such as sand, gravel and construction stone, that are used as raw materials in the production of HMA and for sales to third parties, and (v) distributing liquid asphalt cement for both internal use and sales to third parties in connection with HMA production.
The Company was formed in 2007 by SunTx Capital Partners (“SunTx”), a private equity firm based in Dallas, Texas, as a holding company to facilitate an acquisition growth strategy in the HMA paving and construction industry.
Seasonality
The use and consumption of the Company’s products and services fluctuate due to seasonality. The Company’s products are used, and its construction operations and production facilities are located, outdoors. Therefore, seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions, such as snowy, rainy or cold weather in the winter, spring or fall and major weather events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms and heavy snows, can adversely affect the Company’s business and operations through a decline in both the use of the Company’s products and demand for the Company’s services. In addition, construction materials production and shipment levels follow activity in the construction industry, which typically occurs in the spring, summer and fall. The first and second quarters of the Company’s fiscal year typically have lower levels of activity due to less favorable weather conditions. Warmer and drier weather during the Company’s third and fourth fiscal quarters typically result in higher activity and revenues during those quarters.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Management’s Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts of assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity, revenues and expenses during the reporting period, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Estimates are used in accounting for items such as recognition of revenues and cost of revenues, investments, mineral reserves, goodwill and other intangible assets, business acquisitions, valuation of operating lease right-of-use assets, allowance for credit losses, valuation allowances related to income taxes, accruals for potential liabilities related to lawsuits or insurance claims, asset retirement obligations, valuation of derivative instruments and valuation of equity-based compensation awards. Estimates are continually evaluated based on historical information and actual experience; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
7
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash consists principally of currency on hand and demand deposits at commercial banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid securities that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are so near their maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Cash equivalents include securities with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains demand accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit at several banks. From time to time, account balances have exceeded the maximum available federal deposit insurance coverage limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and regularly monitors its credit risk.
Restricted Cash
Construction Partners Risk Management, Inc. (the “Captive”), a captive insurance company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, provides general liability, automobile liability and workers’ compensation insurance coverage to the Company and its subsidiaries. Restricted cash represents cash held in a fiduciary capacity by the Captive for the payment of casualty insurance claims. The Company had restricted cash of $0.1 million and $3.0 million at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands):
| March 31, 2026 (unaudited) | September 30, 2025 | |||||||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
| Restricted cash | ||||||||||||||
| Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $ | $ | ||||||||||||
Restricted Investments
The Company’s restricted investments consist of debt securities, which are held in a fiduciary capacity by the Captive for the payment of casualty insurance claims. The Company determines the classification of its securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates the determination at each balance sheet date. The Company has classified securities held by the Captive as available-for-sale. As a result, these securities are carried at their fair value. Purchases and sales of debt securities are recorded on the trade date. Interest income on debt securities is recorded when earned using an effective yield method. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as components of accumulated other comprehensive income, net. These securities have been classified as non-current assets based on their respective maturity dates and the Company’s intent to reinvest sales proceeds into new restricted investments. The Company had restricted investments of $16.2 million and $23.2 million at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively.
The Company evaluates its available-for-sale debt securities quarterly to determine whether there has been a decline in the fair value below the amortized cost due to credit losses or other factors. This evaluation process entails judgment by the Company, and considers factors including the issuer’s financial condition and near-term prospects, future economic conditions, interest rate changes and changes in the rating of the security. When the Company has determined that it intends to sell, or that it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell a security before it recovers its amortized cost basis above fair value, the individual security is written down to fair value, with a corresponding charge to “Other income” within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the intent impairment criteria but for which the Company has determined that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss allowance is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount by which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. For the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had no intent impairments or credit losses.
Contracts Receivable Including Retainage, Net
Contracts receivable are generally based on amounts billed and currently due from customers, amounts currently due but unbilled, and amounts retained by customers. It is common in the Company’s industry for a small portion of either progress billings or the contract price, typically 10%, to be withheld by the customer until contracts are near completion or fully completed. Such amounts, defined as retainage, are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Contracts receivable including retainage, net.” Based on the Company’s experience with similar contracts in recent years, billings for such retainage balances are generally collected within one year of the completion of the project.
Contracts receivable including retainage, net is stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for uncollectible accounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to the allowance for credit losses based on
8
its assessment of the current status of individual accounts, type of service performed, current economic conditions, historical losses and other information available to management. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance for credit losses and an adjustment to the contract receivable.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Billing practices for the Company’s contracts are governed by the contract terms of each project based on (i) progress toward completion approved by the owner, (ii) achievement of milestones or (iii) pre-agreed schedules. Billings do not necessarily correlate with revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost input method. The Company records contract assets and contract liabilities to account for these differences in timing.
The contract asset, “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”, arises when the Company recognizes revenues for services performed under its construction projects, but the Company is not yet entitled to bill the customer under the terms of the contract. Amounts billed to customers are excluded from this asset and reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Contracts receivable including retainage, net.” Included in costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are amounts the Company seeks or will seek to collect from customers or others for (i) errors, (ii) changes in contract specifications or design, (iii) contract change orders in dispute, unapproved as to scope and price, or (iv) other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (such as claims). Such amounts are recorded to the extent that the amount can be reasonably estimated and recovery is probable. Claims and unapproved change orders made by the Company may involve negotiation and, in rare cases, litigation. Unapproved change orders and claims also involve the use of estimates, and revenues associated with unapproved change orders and claims are included in the transaction price for which it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. The Company did not recognize any material amounts associated with claims and unapproved change orders during the periods presented.
The contract liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts”, represents the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has been paid by the customer or for which the Company has billed the customer under the terms of the contract. Revenue for future services reflected in this account are recognized, and the liability is reduced, as the Company subsequently satisfies the performance obligation under the contract.
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are typically resolved within one year and are not considered significant financing components.
Concentration of Risks
Projects performed for various departments of transportation accounted for 38.8 % and 40.9 % of consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and for 40.3 % and 37.2 % of consolidated revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Customers that accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues during the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are presented below:

Revenues from Contracts with Customers
The Company derives a significant portion of revenues from contracts with its customers, predominantly by performing construction services for both public and private infrastructure projects, with an emphasis on highways, roads, bridges, airports and commercial and residential developments. These projects are performed for a mix of federal, state, municipal and private customers. In addition, the Company generates revenues from the sale of construction materials, including HMA, aggregates and liquid asphalt to third-party public and private customers pursuant to contracts with those customers. The following table reflects, for the periods presented, (i) revenues generated from public infrastructure construction projects and the sale of construction materials to public customers and (ii) revenues generated from private infrastructure construction projects and the sale of construction materials to private customers.

Revenues derived from construction projects are recognized over time as the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring control of the asset created or enhanced by the project to the customer. Recognition of revenues for construction projects requires significant judgment by management, including, among other things, estimating total costs expected to be incurred to complete a project and measuring progress toward completion. Management reviews contract estimates regularly to assess revisions of estimated costs to complete a project and for measurement of progress toward completion.
Management believes the Company maintains reasonable estimates based on prior experience; however, many factors contribute to changes in estimates of contract costs. Accordingly, estimates made with respect to uncompleted projects are subject to change as each project progresses and better estimates of contract costs become available. All contract costs are recorded as incurred, and revisions to estimated total costs are reflected as soon as the obligation to perform is determined. Provisions are recognized for the full amount of estimated losses on uncompleted contracts whenever evidence indicates that the estimated total cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue, regardless of the stage of completion. When the Company incurs additional costs related to work performed by subcontractors, the Company may be able to utilize contractual provisions to back charge the subcontractors for those costs. A reduction to costs related to back charges is recognized when estimated recovery is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Contract costs consist of (i) direct costs on contracts, including labor, materials, and amounts payable to subcontractors and (ii) indirect costs related to contract performance, such as insurance, employee benefits, and equipment (primarily depreciation, fuel, maintenance and repairs).
Progress toward completion is estimated using the input method, measured by the relationship of total cost incurred through the measurement date to total estimated costs required to complete the project (cost-to-cost method). The Company believes this method best depicts the transfer of goods and services to the customer because it represents satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligation under the contract, which occurs as the Company incurs costs. The Company measures percentage of completion based on the performance of a single performance obligation under its construction projects. Each of the Company’s construction contracts represents a single performance obligation to complete a defined construction project. This is because goods and services promised for delivery to a customer are not distinct, as the customer cannot benefit from any individual portion of the services on its own. All deliverables under a contract are part of a project defined by a customer and represent a series of integrated goods and services that have the same pattern of delivery to the customer and use the same measure of progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation as the customer’s asset is created or enhanced by the Company.
Revenue recognized during a reporting period is based on the cost-to-cost input method applied to the total transaction price, including adjustments for variable consideration, such as liquidated damages, penalties or bonuses, related to the timeliness or quality of project performance. The Company includes variable consideration in the estimated transaction price at the most likely amount to which the Company expects to be entitled or the most likely amount the Company expects to incur, in the case of liquidated damages or penalties. Such amounts are included in the transaction price for which it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved. The Company accounts for changes to the estimated transaction price using a cumulative catch-up adjustment.
The majority of the Company’s public construction contracts are fixed unit price contracts. Under fixed unit price contracts, the Company commits to providing materials or services required by a contract at fixed unit prices (for example, dollars per ton of asphalt placed). The Company’s private customer contracts are primarily fixed total price contracts, also known as lump sum contracts, which require that the total amount of work be performed for a single price. Contract cost is recorded as incurred, and revisions in contract revenue and cost estimates are reflected in the accounting period when known. Changes in job performance, job conditions and
10
estimated profitability, including those changes arising from contract change orders, penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to estimated revenues and costs and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Change orders are modifications of an original contract that effectively change the existing provisions of the contract and become part of the single performance obligation that is partially satisfied at the date of the contract modification. This is because goods and services promised under change orders are generally not distinct from the remaining goods and services under the existing contract, due to the significant integration of services performed in the context of the contract. Accordingly, change orders are generally accounted for as a modification of the existing contract and single performance obligation. The Company accounts for the modification using a cumulative catch-up adjustment. Either the Company or its customers may initiate change orders, which may include changes in specifications or designs, manner of performance, facilities, equipment, materials, sites and period of completion of the work.
Revenues derived from the sale of HMA, aggregates, and liquid asphalt are recognized at a point in time, which is when control of the product is transferred to the customer. Generally, that point in time is when the customer accepts delivery at its facility or receives product in its own transport vehicles from one of the Company’s HMA plants or aggregates facilities. Upon purchase, the Company generally provides an invoice or similar document detailing the goods transferred to the customer. The Company generally offers payment terms customary in the industry, which typically require payment ranging from point-of-sale to 30 days following purchase.
Income Taxes
Earnings per Share
Basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders, but includes dilutive unvested stock awards using the treasury stock method.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures and discloses certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“Topic 820”). Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used to measure fair value are classified using the following hierarchy:
Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2. Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3. Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and include situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The inputs used in the determination of fair value are based on the best information available under the circumstances and may require significant management judgment or estimation.
The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value.
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, contracts receivable including retainage, accounts payable and accrued expenses reflected as current assets and current liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, management considers their carrying value to approximate their fair value.
The Company has debt securities reflected as restricted investments on its Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025. These investments are adjusted to fair value at each balance sheet date and are considered Level 2 fair value measurements.
11
The Company also has a Term Loan A, a Term Loan B and a Revolving Credit Facility, each as defined and further described in Note 8 - Debt. The carrying value of amounts outstanding under these credit facilities is reflected as long-term debt, net of current maturities and deferred debt issuance cost and current maturities of long-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025. Due to the variable rate or short-term nature of these instruments, management considers their carrying value to approximate their fair value.
The Company also has derivative instruments. The fair value of commodity and interest rate swaps are based on forward and spot prices, as described in Note 16 - Fair Value Measurements.
Level 3 fair values are used to value acquired mineral reserves and leased mineral interests. The fair values of mineral reserves and leased mineral interests are determined using an excess earnings approach, which requires management to estimate future cash flows. The estimate of future cash flows is based on available historical information and forecasts determined by management, but is inherently uncertain. Key assumptions in estimating future cash flows include sales price, volumes and expected profit margins, net of capital requirements. The present value of the projected net cash flows represents the fair value assigned to mineral reserves and mineral interests. The discount rate is a significant assumption used in the valuation model and is based on the required rate of return that a hypothetical market participant would assume if purchasing the acquired business.
Management applies fair value measurement guidance to its impairment analysis for tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill.
Comprehensive Income
The Company reports comprehensive income in its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Comprehensive income comprises two subsets: net income and other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). OCI includes adjustments for changes in fair value of an interest rate swap contract derivative and available-for-sale restricted investments. For additional information about comprehensive income, see Note 19 - Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).
Note 3 - Accounting Standards
The Company monitors all Accounting Standards Updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other authoritative guidance. There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 4 - Business Acquisitions
Acquisition of Certain Assets from Affiliates of Vulcan Materials Company
On October 3, 2025, the Company acquired certain asphalt manufacturing and construction assets from affiliates of Vulcan Materials Company (“VMC”) in the Houston, Texas metro area for $108.4 million, which was paid from available cash on hand and a draw from the Revolving Credit Facility. The transaction added eight HMA plants and related crews and equipment, expanding the Company’s operations in southeastern Texas.
Acquisition of P&S Paving, LLC
On October 20, 2025, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of P&S Paving, LLC (“P&S” and such acquisition, the “P&S Acquisition”), an asphalt manufacturing and construction business headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida, for (i) $93.3 million of cash, which was paid from available cash on hand and a draw from the Revolving Credit Facility, and (ii) $51.5 million in shares of Class A common stock. The transaction expanded the Company’s operations in Florida, adding two HMA plants and related crews and equipment serving northeast and central Florida.
Acquisition of GMJ Paving Company, LLC
On January 30, 2026, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of GMJ Paving Company, LLC (“GMJ”), an asphalt manufacturing and construction business in the Houston, Texas metro area, for $37.9 million of cash, which was paid from available cash on hand and a draw from the Revolving Credit Facility. The transaction added an HMA plant in Baytown, Texas and related crews and equipment, expanding the Company’s operations in southeastern Texas.
12
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values based on the methodology described under “Fair Value Measurements” in Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies. The amount of the purchase price exceeding the net fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as provisional goodwill in the amount of approximately $154.7 million, which is deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill primarily represents the assembled work force and synergies expected to result from these acquisitions, which may change as estimates are finalized.

Term Loan A / Revolver Credit Agreement
The Company and each of its subsidiaries are parties to a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated June 30, 2022, with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender, PNC Capital Markets LLC, as joint lead arranger and sole bookrunner, Regions Bank and BofA Securities, Inc., each as a joint arranger, and certain other lenders (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Term Loan A / Revolver Credit Agreement”). The Term Loan A / Revolver Credit Agreement provides for a term loan in the principal amount of $600.0 million (the “Term Loan A”) and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).
All outstanding advances under the Term Loan A and Revolving Credit Facility are due and payable in full on June 28, 2030 (the “Term Loan A Maturity Date”). The Term Loan A amortizes in quarterly installments in an amount (subject, in each case, to adjustments for prior mandatory and voluntary prepayments of principal) equal to: (a) 1.25 % of the original principal amount on each of the quarter-end payment dates; and (b) all remaining principal on the Term Loan A Maturity Date. The annual interest rates applicable to advances are calculated, at the Company’s option, by using either a base rate, Term SOFR, or (solely with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility) Daily Simple SOFR, in each case, plus an applicable margin percentage that corresponds to the Company’s
16
consolidated net leverage ratio. Subject to various requirements, the Company generally may (and, under certain circumstances, must), prepay all or a portion of the outstanding balance of the advances, together with accrued interest thereon, prior to their contractual maturity. The obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Term Loan A / Revolver Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and each of its subsidiaries that ranks in pari passu with the security interest of the lenders under the Term Loan B (defined below).
At March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, there was $577.5 million and $592.5 million, respectively, of principal outstanding under the Term Loan A, $345.0 million and $190.0 million, respectively, of principal outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and availability of $150.2 million and $303.5 million, respectively, under the Revolving Credit Facility, including a reduction for outstanding letters of credit.
The Term Loan A / Revolver Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Company’s ability to make acquisitions, make loans or advances, make capital expenditures and investments, pay dividends, create or incur indebtedness, create liens, wind up or dissolve, consolidate, merge or liquidate, or sell, transfer or dispose of assets. The Term Loan A / Revolver Credit Agreement also requires the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants, including a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 3.00 -to-1.00 and a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio determined as follows: (i) for each fiscal quarter ending on or prior to December 31, 2025, 4.50 -to-1.00; (ii) for each fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2026 through and including September 30, 2026, 4.25 -to-1.00; (iii) for each fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2026 through and including June 30, 2027, 4.00 -to-1.00; and (iv) for each fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2027 and thereafter, 3.75 -to-1.00, subject to certain adjustments. At March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company’s consolidated interest coverage ratio was 5.34 -to-1.00 and 5.76 -to-1.00, respectively, and the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio was 3.23 -to-1.00 and 3.10 -to-1.00, respectively. At both March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Term Loan A / Revolver Credit Agreement.
From time to time, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against the risk of changes in interest rates. At both March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, the aggregate notional value of the interest rate swap agreement was $300.0 million, and the fair value was $6.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively, which is included within other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Term Loan B Credit Agreement
On November 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, BofA Securities, Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC, Regions Capital Markets, a division of Regions Bank, and TD Securities (USA) LLC, each as joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner, and certain other lenders party thereto (the “Term Loan B Credit Agreement”), which provided for a senior secured first lien term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $850.0 million, the full amount of which was drawn on November 1, 2024 (the “Term Loan B”). A portion of the proceeds of the Term Loan B was used to finance the cash portion of the consideration for the Company’s acquisition of Asphalt Inc., LLC d/b/a Lone Star Paving (“Lone Star Paving” and such acquisition, the “Lone Star Acquisition”), including the repayment of certain outstanding indebtedness of Lone Star Paving and its subsidiaries at the closing. The remaining loan proceeds were used to (i) repay the Company’s outstanding borrowings under other credit facilities, (ii) pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the debt financing transaction and the Lone Star Acquisition, and (iii) for working capital and other corporate purposes as permitted by the Term Loan B Credit Agreement.
The Term Loan B matures on November 1, 2031 (the “Term Loan B Maturity Date”), and all outstanding principal amounts and accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on such date. The Company must repay the term loan in equal quarterly installments, commencing with the first full fiscal quarter ending after the date of the Term Loan B Credit Agreement, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 0.25 % of the principal amount of the term loan, subject to adjustment for, among other things, any incremental term loans, with the balance payable on the Term Loan B Maturity Date.
Borrowings under the Term Loan B Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate per annum equal to (i) a forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate for the applicable interest period (“Term SOFR”) plus an applicable margin (the “Term SOFR Loans”) or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined below) plus the applicable margin (the “Base Rate Loans”). The Base Rate means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (w) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 %, (x) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its “prime rate”, (y) Term SOFR plus 1.00 % and (z) 1.00 %. The applicable margin is (A) 2.50 % in the case of Term SOFR Loans and (B) 1.50 % in the case of Base Rate Loans. With respect to any Term SOFR Loans, the Company is required to pay interest on the last day of each one-, three- or six-month interest period, as elected by the Company, and, if such interest period is longer than three months, also at the end of each three-month period during such interest period. With respect to any Base Rate Loans, the Company is required to pay interest quarterly in arrears.
At March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025, there was $839.4 million and $843.6 million, respectively, of principal outstanding under the Term Loan B.

Note 9 - Equity
Shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting rights, conversion rights and transfer restrictions applicable to shares of Class B common stock. The holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share, and the holders of Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. The holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors, unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws. Shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at any time at the option of the holder or upon any transfer, subject to certain limited exceptions. In addition, upon the election of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class B common stock, all outstanding shares of Class B common stock will be converted into shares of Class A common stock. Once converted into shares of Class A common stock, shares of Class B common stock will not be reissued. Class A common stock is not convertible into any other class of the Company’s capital stock.
Conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, certain stockholders of the Company converted a total of 30,000 shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock on a one -for-one basis. As of March 31, 2026, there were 47,965,450 shares of Class A common stock and 8,549,118 shares of Class B common stock outstanding.
Issuance of Class A Common Stock
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued 437,169 shares of Class A common stock in connection with the P&S Acquisition. Additional information about the P&S Acquisition is set forth in Note 4 - Business Acquisitions.
Treasury Stock
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company received a total of 165,921 shares of Class A common stock and 6,845 shares of Class B common stock from employees for reimbursement of income taxes paid by the Company on behalf of these employees related to the vesting of restricted stock awards and 1,145 shares of Class A common stock through forfeitures of unvested restricted stock awards by terminated employees.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, pursuant to its stock repurchase program, the Company repurchased 46,344 shares of Class A common stock for aggregate consideration of approximately $5.2 million through open market transactions.
Restricted Stock Awards
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company awarded to certain directors, officers and employees of the Company a total of 152,803 restricted shares of Class A common stock under the Construction Partners, Inc. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) and 47,798 restricted shares of Class B common stock under the Construction Partners, Inc. 2024 Restricted Stock Plan (the “Restricted Stock Plan”). These totals include 33,987 shares of Class A common stock awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan and 47,798 shares of Class B common stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Plan in connection with a transaction bonus related to the P&S Acquisition.
Performance Stock Units
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company issued a total of 127,317 shares of Class A common stock and paid $2.5 million in cash in settlement of vested performance stock units (“PSUs”) under the Equity Incentive Plan. PSUs vest based on the achievement of certain Company performance metrics established by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”).
Additional information about these transactions is set forth in Note 13 - Share-Based Compensation.
Note 10 - Earnings Per Share
As discussed in Note 9 - Equity, the Company has Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Because the only differences between the two classes of common stock are related to voting rights, conversion rights and transfer restrictions applicable to shares of Class B common stock, the Company has not presented earnings per share under the two-class method, as the earnings per share are the same for both Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of basic common shares outstanding and the calculation of basic earnings per share for the periods presented (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Note 11 - Provision for Income Taxes
The Company files a consolidated United States federal income tax return and income tax returns in various states. Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions based on appropriate provisions of applicable tax laws and regulations and believes that they are supportable based on their specific technical merits and the facts and circumstances of the respective transactions.
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 23.9 % and 23.7 %, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was 24.3 % and 28.4 %, respectively. The changes in the Company’s effective rates are due to differences in state tax rates at its operating subsidiaries.

Performance Stock Units - Equity Classified Awards
PSUs provide for the issuance of shares of Class A common stock upon vesting, which occurs at the end of the performance period based on achievement of certain Company performance metrics established by the Compensation Committee. The final number of shares of common stock issuable upon vesting of PSUs can range from 0 % to 150 % of the target number of PSUs initially granted, depending on the level of achievement, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The achievement of performance goals is modified by the total stockholder return ranking of the Company against the Russell 2000 Index over the performance period and can increase or decrease the achieved award by up to 15 %. With respect to certain outstanding PSUs, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to settle all or a portion of vested PSUs in the form of cash, rather than common stock. The Company recognizes expense, net of estimated forfeitures, for PSUs based on the forecasted achievement of Company performance metrics, multiplied by the fair value of the total number of shares of common stock that the Company anticipates will be issued based on such achievement.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company awarded PSUs representing a target of 55,732 Class A shares to certain members of Company management under the Equity Incentive Plan. These grants are classified as equity awards. The aggregate grant date fair value of these PSU awards was $5.0 million. Compensation expense associated with these awards was $1.4 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $3.3 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Compensation expense is reflected as general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. At March 31, 2026, the Company forecasted 262,372 shares of Class A common stock underlying PSUs as unvested and approximately $9.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to PSU awards, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.9 years. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, 127,317 shares of Class A common stock were issued upon the vesting of PSUs.
Cash-Settled Restricted Stock Units - Liability Classified Awards
The Company has previously granted cash-settled restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees of the Company under the Equity Incentive Plan. The Company elects to account for forfeitures as they occur. Compensation expense associated with prior awards was $2.1 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $2.4 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Compensation expense is reflected as general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the liability for cash-settled RSUs was $9.3 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities. At March 31, 2026, there was approximately $5.0 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards, which will be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 2.2 years.
The grant date fair value of cash-settled RSU awards is based on the price of the Company’s Class A common stock and the number of RSUs awarded on the date of grant. The awards are settled in cash and are accounted for as liability-type awards. The expense is recognized over the requisite service period, with remeasurement at the end of each reporting period at fair value until settlement. The requisite service period is based on the vesting provisions of the awards, which generally occurs in four equal annual installments beginning on the date of the first fiscal year-end after the grant date.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Note 14 - Leases
The Company leases certain facilities, office space, vehicles and equipment. As of March 31, 2026, operating leases under ASC Topic 842, Leases (“Topic 842”) were included in (i) operating lease right-of use assets, (ii) current portion of operating lease liabilities and (iii) operating lease liabilities, net of current portion on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets in the amounts of $95.7 million, $26.8 million and $69.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company did not have any lease contracts that had not yet commenced but had created significant rights and obligations.

Short-term leases (those with terms of 12 months or less) are not capitalized but are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The majority of the Company’s short-term leases relate to equipment used on construction projects. These leases are entered into at periodic rental rates for an unspecified duration and typically have a termination for convenience provision.
As of March 31, 2026, the weighted-average remaining term of the Company’s leases was 4.0 years, and the weighted-average discount rate was 6.07 %. As of March 31, 2026, the lease liability was equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate on the Company’s secured debt using a single maturity discount rate, as such rate is not materially different from the discount rate applied to each of the leases in the portfolio.

Note 15 - Investment in Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its overall strategy to manage its exposure to market risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability and credit standing of the counterparties to its derivative instruments. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
The Company records all derivatives at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company may designate the derivative as one of the following: (i) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be paid (“cash flow hedge”) or (ii) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (“fair value hedge”).
Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified and designated as a cash flow hedge or net investment hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income until they are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified and designated as a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current period earnings.
If the Company does not specifically designate a derivative as one of the above, changes in the fair value of the undesignated derivative instrument are reported in current period earnings. Cash flows from designated derivative financial instruments are classified
23
within the same category as the item being hedged in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while cash flows from undesignated derivative financial instruments are included as an investing activity.
If the Company determines that it qualifies for and will designate a derivative as a hedging instrument, the Company formally documents all relationships between hedging activities, including the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes matching all derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions and linking all derivatives designated as fair value hedges to specific assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company performs an initial prospective assessment of hedge effectiveness on a quantitative basis between the inception date and the earlier of the first quarterly hedge effectiveness date or the issuance of the financial statements that include the hedged transaction. On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses the effectiveness of its designated hedges in offsetting the variability in the cash flows or fair values of the hedged assets or obligations using the Hypothetical Derivative Method. The Hypothetical Derivative Method compares the change in fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument with the change in fair value or cash flows of a hypothetical derivative that represents the hedged risk. The Company would discontinue hedge accounting prospectively when the derivative is no longer highly effective as a hedge, the underlying hedged transaction is no longer probable or the hedging instrument expires, is sold, terminated or exercised.
The following table represents the approximate amount of realized and unrealized gains (losses) and changes in fair value recognized in earnings on interest rate swap contracts for the three and six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and the fair value of these derivatives as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025 (in thousands):

Note 16 - Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2026 and September 30, 2025 under Topic 820 (in thousands):

The fair value of the interest rate swap contract is based on a model-driven valuation using the observable components (e.g., interest rates), which are observable at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the contracts. The calculations are adjusted for credit risk. Therefore, the Company’s derivative assets and liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivative assets are included within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Other assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Derivative liabilities are included within “Accrued expense and other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding and assessing the trends and significant changes in our results of operations and financial condition during the period covered by this report. Historical results may not be indicative of future performance. This discussion includes forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Such statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2025 Form 10-K. In this discussion, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures. Explanations of these non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented in compliance with GAAP.
Overview
We are a civil infrastructure company that specializes in the building and maintenance of transportation networks. Our operations leverage a highly-skilled workforce, strategically located HMA plants, substantial construction assets and select material deposits. We provide construction products and services to both public and private infrastructure projects, with an emphasis on highways, roads, bridges, airports and commercial and residential sites across the Sunbelt in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
Our public projects are funded by federal, state and local governments and include roads, highways, bridges, airports and other forms of infrastructure. Public transportation infrastructure projects historically have been a relatively stable portion of state and federal budgets and represent a significant share of the U.S. construction market. Federal funds are allocated on a state-by-state basis, and each state is required to match a portion of the federal funds that it receives. Federal highway spending uses funds predominantly from the Highway Trust Fund, which derives its revenues from fuel taxes and other user fees.
In addition to public infrastructure projects, we provide a wide range of large site work construction and HMA paving services to private construction customers, including commercial and residential developers and local businesses.
Contract Backlog
At March 31, 2026, our contract backlog was $3.1 billion. Contract backlog is a financial measure that reflects the dollar value of work that the Company expects to perform in the future. We include a construction project in our contract backlog at the time it is awarded and to the extent we believe funding is probable. Our backlog consists of uncompleted work on contracts in progress and contracts for which we have executed a contract but have not commenced the work. For uncompleted work on contracts in progress, we include (i) executed change orders, (ii) pending change orders for which we expect to receive confirmation in the ordinary course of business and (iii) claims that we have made against our customers for which we have determined we have a legal basis under existing contractual arrangements and as to which we consider collection to be probable. Backlog of uncompleted work on contracts under which work was either in progress or had not yet begun was $2.6 billion at March 31, 2026. Our contract backlog also includes low bid/no contract projects, which consist of (i) public bid projects for which we were the low bidder and no contract has been executed and (ii) private work projects for which we have been notified that we are the low bidder or have been given a notice to proceed, but no contract has been executed. Low bid/no contract backlog was $0.5 billion at March 31, 2026.

How We Assess Performance of Our Business
Revenues
We derive our revenues predominantly by providing construction products and services for both public and private infrastructure projects, with an emphasis on highways, roads, bridges, airports and commercial and residential sites. Our projects represent a mix of federal, state, municipal and private customers. We also derive revenues from the sale of HMA, aggregates and liquid asphalt cement to customers. We recognize revenues derived from projects as we satisfy our performance obligations over time, measured by the relationship of total cost incurred compared to total estimated contract costs (cost-to-cost input method). Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to estimated costs and income, and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Revenues derived from the sale of HMA, aggregates and liquid asphalt cement are recognized when the risks associated with ownership have passed to the customer.
Gross Profit
Gross profit represents revenues less cost of revenues. Cost of revenues consists of all direct and indirect costs associated with construction contracts, including raw materials, labor, equipment costs, depreciation, lease expenses, subcontract costs and other expenses at our HMA plants, aggregates mining facilities and liquid asphalt cement terminals. Our cost of revenues is directly affected by fluctuations in commodity prices, primarily liquid asphalt, diesel fuel and natural gas. From time to time, when appropriate, we limit our exposure to changes in commodity prices by entering into forward purchase commitments. In addition, our public infrastructure contracts often provide for price adjustments based on fluctuations in certain commodity-related product costs. These price adjustment provisions are in place for most of our public infrastructure contracts, and we seek to include similar provisions in our private contracts.
Significant or sustained increases in the prices of petroleum-based products and fuels, including liquid asphalt, diesel fuel and natural gas, could adversely affect our profitability to the extent such cost increases are not offset through contract price adjustment provisions, operational efficiencies, fuel hedging activities, or timely increases in pricing to customers. Although many of our public infrastructure contracts contain escalation clauses designed to mitigate the impact of commodity price volatility, there can be no assurance that such mechanisms will fully compensate for increased fuel costs or that similar protections will be available in private contracts. Prolonged fuel price volatility may also negatively impact demand, project timing, equipment operating costs and overall margins.
Depreciation, Depletion, Accretion and Amortization
Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost or, if acquired as a business combination, at fair value. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. Amortization expense is the periodic expense related to leasehold improvements and intangible assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the life of the underlying asset or the remaining lease term. Our intangible assets were recognized as a result of certain acquisitions and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Our unfavorable contract liabilities were recognized as a result of certain acquisitions and are amortized as the associated projects progress. Mineral reserves are depleted in accordance with the units-of-production method as aggregates are extracted, using the initial allocation of cost based on proven and probable reserves.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include costs related to our operational offices that are not allocated to direct contract costs and expenses related to our corporate offices. These expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel costs for our administration, finance and accounting, legal, information systems, human resources and certain managerial employees. General and administrative expenses also include audit, consulting and professional fees, share-based compensation expense, travel, insurance, office space rental costs, property taxes and other corporate and overhead expenses.
30
Acquisition-Related Expenses
Acquisition-related expenses include costs incurred in connection with our business acquisitions. These expenses typically include legal, accounting, tax, other professional costs, employee transaction bonuses and contingent consideration payable to sellers in connection with the achievement of specified performance criteria.
Gain on Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment
In the normal course of business, we sell assets for various reasons, including when the cost of maintaining the asset exceeds the cost of replacing it. The gain or loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment reflects the difference between the carrying value at the date of disposal and the net consideration received from the sale during the period.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net primarily represents interest incurred on our long-term debt, such as the Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Facility, fees associated with debt modifications and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs. These amounts are partially offset by interest income earned on short-term investments of cash balances in excess of our current operating needs.
Other Key Performance Indicators - Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before, as applicable from time to time, (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization, (iv) share-based compensation expense, (v) loss on the extinguishment of debt and (vi) nonrecurring expenses related to transformative acquisitions, which management considers to include transactions of a size that would require clearance under federal antitrust laws. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues for each period. Adjusted net income represents net income before (i) nonrecurring expenses related to transformative acquisitions, which management considers to include transactions of a size that would require clearance under federal antitrust laws, and (ii) nonrecurring fees associated with financing arrangements incurred in connection with transformative acquisitions. These metrics are supplemental measures of our operating performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance. We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted net income because management uses these measures as key performance indicators, and we believe that securities analysts, investors and others use these measures to evaluate companies in our industry. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted net income may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies. Potential differences may include differences in capital structures, tax positions and the age and book depreciation of intangible and tangible assets.

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $197.5 million, or 34.6%, to $769.2 million from $571.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase included $134.8 million of revenues attributable to acquisitions completed during or subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $62.7 million of revenues in our existing markets from contract work and sales of HMA and aggregates to third parties. The 11.0% increase in revenues in our existing markets was due to strong demand in both public and private work.
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $27.5 million, or 38.5%, to $98.9 million from $71.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of a 34.6% increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 and a higher gross profit margin. The higher gross profit margin was due to efficient utilization of our plants, terminals and equipment fleet.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $16.9 million, or 36.3%, to $63.6 million from $46.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was attributable to general and administrative expenses associated with the operations of businesses acquired during or subsequent to March 31, 2025 and an increase in share-based compensation expense.
33
Acquisition-Related Expenses. Acquisition-related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $1.7 million to $2.5 million from $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate increased to 23.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from 23.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our higher effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was due to differences in state tax rates at our operating subsidiaries.
Net Income. Net income increased $5.0 million to $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net income was primarily a result of higher gross profit and gain on sale of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses, interest expense, net and provision for income taxes, all as described above.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin were $93.3 million and 12.1%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $69.3 million and 12.1%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin resulted from a $5.0 million increase in net income as described above, a $9.0 million increase in depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization, a $4.0 million increase in interest expense, net, and a $3.1 million increase in share-based compensation expense. For a description of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as well as a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA margin, see above under the heading “How We Assess Performance of Our Business — Other Key Performance Indicators — Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Adjusted Net Income.”

•a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $20.2 million due to the timing of processing transactions in our accounts payable cycle; and
•a net decrease in the difference between costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts of $17.8 million due to the timing of performing and closing projects.
During the six months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by operating activities, net of acquisitions, was $96.3 million, primarily as a result of:
•net income of $1.2 million, including $68.4 million of depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization, $18.9 million of share-based compensation expense and $4.5 million of gain on sale of property, plant and equipment;
•a decrease in contracts receivable including retainage, net of $49.3 million due to normal fluctuations resulting from the timing of processing transactions in our accounts receivable cycle;
•an increase in inventories of $4.4 million due to increased inventories from acquisitions, growth in existing markets, higher inventory costs and normal fluctuations in our inventory cycle;
•a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $27.0 million due to the timing of processing transactions in our accounts payable cycle; and
•a net decrease in the difference between costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts of $9.7 million due to the timing of performing and closing projects.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, cash used in investing activities was $337.1 million, of which $275.9 million related to acquisitions completed or finalized in the period, $81.7 million was invested in property, plant and equipment and $2.4 million was used to purchase restricted investments, partially offset by $13.5 million of proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and $9.4 million of proceeds from the sale of restricted investments.
During the six months ended March 31, 2025, cash used in investing activities was $893.2 million, of which $828.7 million related to acquisitions completed or finalized in the period, $68.2 million was invested in property, plant and equipment and $6.2 million was invested in restricted investments, partially offset by $6.0 million of proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and $3.9 million of proceeds from the sale of restricted investments.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, cash provided by financing activities was $107.3 million. We received $185.0 million of net proceeds from our Revolving Credit Facility, which were used for acquisitions completed in the period. This cash flow was partially offset by $49.3 million of principal payments on long-term debt, $26.0 million for the purchase of treasury stock and $2.5 million for settlement of performance share awards.
During the six months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by financing activities was $823.8 million. We received $835.0 million of net proceeds from our Term Loan B, which were primarily used for the Lone Star Acquisition completed in the period, and $145.0 million of net proceeds from our Revolving Credit Facility, which were primarily used for other acquisitions completed during the period. This cash flow was partially offset by $135.6 million of principal payments on long-term debt and purchase of treasury stock of $20.1 million.
Capital Requirements and Sources of Liquidity
During the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our capital expenditures were approximately $81.7 million and $68.2 million, respectively. Our capital expenditures are typically made during the fiscal year in which they are approved. At March 31, 2026, our commitments for capital expenditures were not material to our financial condition or results of operations on a consolidated basis. For fiscal 2026, we expect total capital expenditures to be approximately $165.0 million to $185.0 million. Our capital expenditure budget is an estimate and is subject to change.
Historically, we have required significant amounts of cash in order to make capital expenditures, purchase materials, execute our growth strategy through acquisitions and fund our organic expansion into new markets. Our working capital needs are driven by the seasonality and growth of our business, with our cash requirements increasing in periods of growth. Additional cash requirements
37
resulting from our growth include the costs of additional personnel, production and distribution facilities, enhancements to our information systems, integration costs related to any acquisitions and our compliance with laws and rules applicable to public companies. Furthermore, on March 2, 2026, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program under which up to $50 million is available to purchase shares of our outstanding Class A common stock through September 30, 2028. The new stock repurchase program replaced the previous stock repurchase program, which expired on March 5, 2026.We intend to utilize the stock repurchase program to minimize the dilutive impact of awards granted under our equity incentive plans and to repurchase shares opportunistically. Shares of Class A common stock may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 plans. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any shares of Class A common stock, and the stock repurchase program may be modified, suspended, extended or terminated at any time by our Board of Directors. The actual timing, number and value of shares of Class A common stock repurchased will be determined by a committee of the Board of Directors at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Class A common stock, capital allocation alternatives, general market and economic conditions and other corporate considerations. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, the Company purchased 46,344 shares of Class A common stock for aggregate consideration of approximately $5.2 million through open market transactions.
We have historically relied on cash available through credit facilities, in addition to cash from operations, to finance our working capital requirements and to support our growth. We regularly monitor potential capital sources, including equity and debt markets, in an effort to meet our planned capital expenditures and liquidity requirements. Our future success will depend on our ability to access outside sources of capital.
We believe that our operating cash flow and available borrowings under the Term Loan A / Revolver Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund our operations, make planned capital expenditures, opportunistically repurchase shares of Class A common stock and fulfill other material contingent contractual obligations for at least the next 12 months. However, future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the potential impacts of inflation and supply chain constraints, and significant additional capital expenditures will be required to conduct our operations. There can be no assurance that operations and other capital resources will provide sufficient cash to maintain planned or future levels of capital expenditures. In the event that we make one or more acquisitions and the amount of capital required is greater than the amount of cash on hand we have available for acquisitions at that time, we could be required to reduce the expected level of capital expenditures and/or seek additional capital. If we seek additional capital, we may do so through borrowings under the Term Loan A / Revolver Credit Agreement or other credit facilities, joint ventures, asset sales, offerings of debt or equity securities or other means. However, our ability to engage in any such transactions may be constrained by economic conditions and other factors outside of our control. We cannot guarantee that additional capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain the funds we need, we may not be able to complete acquisitions that may be favorable to us or finance the capital expenditures necessary to conduct our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2026, we had aggregate letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $4.8 million, future purchase commitments of diesel fuel and natural gas of $4.5 million, and $3.5 million of minimum royalty payments related to aggregates facilities. Other than the letters of credit, future purchase commitments and minimum royalty payments, we do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. See Note 17 - Commitments to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk on certain of our short- and long-term debt obligations used to finance our operations and acquisitions. We have SOFR-based floating rate borrowings under the Term Loan A / Revolver Credit Agreement and Term Loan B Credit Agreement, which expose us to variability in interest payments due to changes in the reference interest rates. From time to time, we use derivative instruments as hedges against the impact of interest rate changes on future earnings and cash flows. We do not enter into such derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
At March 31, 2026, we had a total of $1.76 billion of variable rate debt outstanding. Holding other factors constant and absent the interest rate swap agreements described above, a hypothetical 1% change in our borrowing rates would result in a $17.6 million change in our annual interest expense based on our variable rate debt outstanding at March 31, 2026. The notional amount of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap contract at March 31, 2026 was $300.0 million. The maturity date of this swap is June 30, 2027, and the fair value of the outstanding swap contract was $6.7 million as of March 31, 2026. See also Note 15 - Investment in Derivative Instruments and Note 16 - Fair Value Measurements to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures
Our management carried out, as of March 31, 2026, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Due to the nature of our business, we are involved in routine litigation or subject to other disputes or claims related to our business activities, including, among other things, (i) workers’ compensation claims, (ii) employment-related disputes and (iii) liability issues or breach of contract or tortious conduct claims in connection with the performance of services and provision of materials. We and our affiliates are also subject to government inquiries in the ordinary course of business seeking information concerning our compliance with government construction contracting requirements and various laws and regulations, the outcome of which cannot be predicted with certainty. In the opinion of our management, after consultation with legal counsel, none of the pending inquiries, litigation, disputes or claims against us, if decided adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. There have been no material changes to the proceedings previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other financial information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed below and in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the 2025 Form 10-K that could materially affect our business, financial condition or future operating results. The risks described below and in the 2025 Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Geopolitical conflict involving Iran and potential disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz could constrain global crude oil supply, increasing the cost and limiting the availability of key petroleum-based inputs such as liquid asphalt cement and diesel fuel, which may adversely affect our operations, margins, and overall financial performance.
Ongoing geopolitical conflict involving Iran, including the potential closure or disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, poses significant risks to global crude oil supply and energy markets. As a critical transit point for a substantial portion of the world’s oil, any sustained disruption could materially reduce supply and increase price volatility for crude oil and refined products. These conditions may adversely affect the availability and cost of liquid asphalt cement and diesel fuel, which are essential to our operations, leading to increased input costs and potential supply constraints. This volatility may negatively impact our margins, project profitability, and ability to competitively bid on work, particularly where contractual mechanisms do not fully offset rising costs. Prolonged disruptions could also contribute to broader economic pressures, including inflation and reduced infrastructure spending, which may further adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
