Peer Group Issuers, Footnote

For each of fiscal 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021, TSR for the Company and the peer group was calculated as the yearly percentage change in cumulative TSR based on a deemed fixed investment of $100 at market close on September 30, 2020. The yearly percentage change in cumulative TSR was measured as the quotient of (a) the sum of (i) the cumulative amount of dividends for the period from September 30, 2020 through and including the last day of the covered fiscal year (the “Measurement Period”), assuming dividend reinvestment, plus (ii) the difference between stock price per share at the end and the beginning of the Measurement Period, divided by (b) stock price per share at the beginning of the Measurement Period. The peer group (the “Peer Group”) TSR set forth in this table utilizes the Dow Jones U.S. Heavy Construction Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K and included in our 2024 Annual Report.
