    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”U.S. ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted.
    The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IEA and its wholly-ownedwholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. The Company occasionally forms joint ventures with unrelated third parties for the execution of single contracts or projects. The Company assesses its joint ventures to determine if they meet the qualifications of a variable interest entity (“VIE”("VIE") in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation.Consolidation ("ASC 810"). For construction joint ventures that are not VIEs or fully consolidated but for which the Company has significant influence, the Company accounts for its interest in the joint ventures using the proportionate consolidation method, see Note 11. Joint Ventures.
In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021.2022. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 20202021 and notes thereto included in the Company’s 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K filed with the SEC on March 7, 2022 (the "Annual Report").
Basis of Accounting and Use of Estimates
    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Key estimates include: the recognition of revenue and project profit or loss; fair value estimates;estimates related to warrant liabilities; valuations of goodwill and intangible assets; asset lives used in computing depreciation and amortization; accrued self-insured claims; other reserves and accruals; accounting for income taxes; and the estimated impact of contingencies and ongoing litigation. While management believes that its estimates are reasonable when considered in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

The prior period classification of the warrant liability fair value adjustment for the Series B Preferred Stock - Anti-dilution warrants has been revised to conform to the current period presentation within the Condensed Consolidated Statementscondensed consolidated statements of Operations.operations. This reclassification has no effect on net income or stockholders' equity.

Revenue Recognition
    The Company derives revenue primarily from construction projects performed under contracts for specific projects requiring the construction and installation of an entire infrastructure system or specified units within an infrastructure system. Contracts contain multiple pricing options, such as fixed price, unit price, or time and materials, or unit price.materials. Generally, renewable energy projects are performed for private customers while Specialty Civil projects are performed for various governmental entities.

    Revenue derived from projects billed on a fixed-price basis totaled 99.5%74.0% and 98.4%78.7% of consolidated revenue from operations for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue derived from projects billed on a unit price basis totaled 24.9% and 2020, respectively, and totaled 98.8% and 97.6%17.5% of consolidated revenue from operations for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively. Revenue and related costs for contracts billed on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are rendered. Revenue derived from projects billed on a time and materials basis totaled 0.5%1.1% and 1.6%3.8% of consolidated revenue from operations for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, and totaled 1.2% and 2.4% forrespectively. The prior period presentation of the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.components of the Company’s revenue by contract type has been revised to conform to the current presentation.

    Construction contract revenue revenue is recognized over time using the cost-to-cost measure of progress for fixed price contracts. The cost-to-cost measure of progress best depicts the continuous transfer of control of goods or services to the customer. The contractual terms provide that the customer compensates the Company for services rendered.

    Contract costs include all direct materials, labor and subcontracted costs, as well as indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and the costs of capital equipment. The cost estimation and review process for recognizing revenue over time under the cost-to-cost method is based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers and financial professionals. Management reviews estimates of total contract transaction price and total project costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions and management’s assessment of expected variable consideration are factors that influence estimates of the total contract transaction price, total costs to complete those contracts and profit recognition. Changes in these factors could result in revisions to revenue and costs of revenue in the period in which the revisions are determined on a prospective basis, which could materially affect the Company’s results of operations for that period. Provisions for losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such losses are determined.
Performance Obligations
    A performance obligation is a contractual promise to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)ASC Topic 606.606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to distinct performance obligations and recognized as revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. The Company’s contracts often require significant integrated services and, even when delivering multiple distinct services, are generally accounted for as a single performance obligation. Contract amendments and change orders are generally not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integrated service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as a modification of the existing contract and performance obligation. With the exception of certain Specialty Civil service contracts, the majority of the Company’s performance obligations are generally completed within one year.
    When more than one contract is entered into with athe same customer on or close to the same date, the Company evaluates whether those contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract, as well as whether those contracts should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and is based on the facts and circumstances of the various contracts, which could change the amount of revenue and profit recognition in a given period depending upon the outcome of the evaluation.
    Remaining performance obligations represent the amount of unearned transaction prices for contracts, including approved and unapproved change orders. As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the amount of the Company’s remaining performance obligations was $1,686.7 million.$2.1 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 75.5%81.7% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue during the next twelve months. Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods was $(0.7)$(12.9) million and $(0.8)$0.4 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, and $(1.1) million and $(4.4) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Variable Consideration
    Transaction pricing for the Company’s contracts may include variable consideration, such as unapproved change orders, claims, incentives and liquidated damages. Management estimates variable consideration for a performance obligation utilizing estimation methods that best predict the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the estimated transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Management’s
7


estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based on legal opinions, past practices with the customer, specific discussions, correspondence or preliminary negotiations with the customer and all other relevant information that is reasonably available. The effect of a change in variable consideration on the transaction price of a performance obligation is typically recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. To the extent unapproved change orders, claims and liquidated damages reflected in the transaction price are not resolved in the Company’s favor, or to the extent incentives reflected in the transaction price are not earned, there could be reductions in, or reversals of, previously recognized revenue.
7


    As of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company included approximately $70.8$93.5 million and $52.6$94.5 million, respectively, of estimated transaction price adjustments that arise from unapproved change orders and/or claims in the transaction price for certain contracts that were in the process of being resolved in the normal course of business includingand/or from transaction price disputes in contracts that are subject to resolution through negotiation,litigation, arbitration and other legal proceedings. These transaction price adjustments are included within Contract Assets or Contract Liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as appropriate. The Company actively engages with its customers to complete the final change order approval process on unapproved change orders and generally expects these processes to be completed within one year.year, while sometimes disputes subject to formal legal proceedings can take longer than a year to resolve. Amounts ultimately realized upon final acceptance byresolution with customers of these transaction price adjustments could be higher or lower than such estimated amounts.

Construction Joint Ventures

Certain contracts are executed through joint ventures. The arrangements are often formed for the execution of single contracts or projects and allow the Company to share risks and secure specialty skills required for project execution.
8


In accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, the Company assesses its joint ventures at inception to determine if anythey meet the qualifications of a VIE. The Company considers a joint venture a VIE if either (a) the total equity investment is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) characteristics of a controlling financial interest are missing (either the ability to make decisions through voting or other rights, the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity), or (c) the voting rights of the equity holders are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and/or their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. Upon the occurrence of certain events outlined in ASC 810, the Company reassesses its initial determination of whether the joint venture is a VIE.
The Company also evaluates whether it is the primary beneficiary of each VIE and consolidates the VIE if the Company has both (a) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company considers the contractual agreements that define the ownership structure, distribution of profits and losses, risks, responsibilities, indebtedness, voting rights and board representation of the respective parties in determining whether it qualifies as the primary beneficiary. The Company also considers all parties that have direct or implicit variable interests when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary. When the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary, the VIE is consolidated. In accordance with ASC 810, management’s assessment of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is performed continuously.
8


Construction joint ventures that do not involve a VIE, or for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, are evaluated for consolidation under the voting interest model that considers whether the Company owns or controls more than 50% of the voting interest in the joint venture. For construction joint ventures that are not consolidated but for which the Company has significant influence, the Company accounts for its interest in the joint ventures using the proportionate consolidation method, whereby the Company’s proportionate share of the joint ventures’ assets, liabilities, revenue and cost of operations are included in the appropriate classifications in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 11. Joint Ventures for additional discussion regarding joint ventures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards - Guidance Adopted in 2021

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,” which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective, or prospective basis. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis, which did not have an impact on our disclosures for income taxes.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
    
    In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which introduced an expected credit loss methodology for the measurement and recognition of credit losses on most financial assets, including trade accounts receivables. The expected credit loss methodology under ASU 2016-13 is based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, and replaces the probable/incurred loss model for measuring and recognizing expected losses under current GAAP. The ASU also requires disclosure of information regarding how a company developed its allowance, including changes in the factors that influenced management’s estimate of expected credit losses and the reasons for those changes. The ASU and its related clarifying updates are effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is still evaluating the new standard but does not expect it to have a material impact on our estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts.
Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that they will have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements andor related disclosures.

COVID-19 Pandemic

    During March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the rapidly growing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19). The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected economic conditions in the United States and internationally as national, state and local governments reacted to the public health crisis by requiring mitigation measures that have disrupted business activities for an uncertain period of time.

The Company believes that the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results for the periodthree months ended September 30, 2021. March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Currently, most of the Company’s construction services are deemed essential under governmental mitigation orders and allboth of ourthe Company's business segments continue to operate. The Company has issued several notices of force majeure for the purpose of recognizing delays in construction schedules due to COVID-19 outbreaks on certain of its work sites and has also received notices of force majeure from the owners of certain projects and certain subcontractors. Management does not believe that any delays on projects related to these events of force majeure will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations.

Management’s top priority has been to take appropriate actions to protect the health and safety of the Company's employees, customers and business partners, including adjusting the Company's standard operating procedures to respond to evolving health guidelines. Management believes that it is taking appropriate steps to mitigate any potential impact to the Company; however, given the uncertainty regarding the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, any future impacts cannot be quantified or predicted with specificity.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could affect the Company’s future business activities and financial results, including new contract awards, reduced crew productivity, contract amendments or cancellations, higher operating costs or delayed project start dates or project shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities or others.

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    The Company applies ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, which is the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the Company’s principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820 generally requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions based on market data and the entity’s judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

    The valuation hierarchy is composed of three levels. The classification within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The levels within the valuation hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities listed on active market exchanges.
Level 2 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are determined using prices for recently traded assets and liabilities with similar underlying terms, as well as direct or indirect observable inputs, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 — Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs, such as estimates, assumptions, and valuation techniques when little or no market data exists for the assets or liabilities.

For further discussion of the equity transaction see Note 8. Earnings Per Share.

The information below describes the balance sheet classification and the recurring fair value measurement for these requirements:the Company's liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Private Warrants (recurring) - The Company has 295,000 private warrants that are not actively tradedlisted on the public marketsa securities exchange, and the Company adjusts the fair value at the end of each fiscal period using the price on that date multiplied by the remaining private warrants. The Privateprivate warrants were recorded as warrant obligations at the end of the quarter and the fair value adjustment was recorded as Warranta warrant liability fair value adjustment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. For further discussion see Note 8. Earnings Per Share.

    Series B Preferred Stock - Anti-dilution Warrants (recurring) - In 2019, the Company entered into three equity purchase agreements and issued Series B Preferred Stock. The agreements provided that upon the conversion of any of the convertible Series A Preferred Stock to shares of common stock, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock would receive additional warrants (anti-dilution warrants) to purchase shares of common stock at a price of $0.0001 per share. The number of shares of common sharesstock attributable to the warrants issued to Series B Preferred Stockholders for anti-dilution warrants werewas determined as follows;

upon conversion by Series A Preferred Stockholders and determined on a 30-day volume weighted average. As noted above, these anti-dilution warrants were issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock as part of the equity transaction on August 2, 2021 and therefore no liability was recorded at September 30, 2021.follows:

upon the exercise of any warrant with an exercise price of $11.50 or higher. As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company had 8,480,000 5,962,020 warrants issued before M III's merger with the Company ("Merger Warrants to purchaseWarrants") outstanding, exercisable for 2,981,010 shares of common stock at $11.50 per share. If theThe conversion of Merger Warrants were converted it would result in the issuance of an additional 2.60.9 million anti-dilution warrants being issued.shares pursuant to the anti-dilution warrants. As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company recorded the anti-dilution warrants at fair value, which was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation based on certain significant unobservable inputs, such as a risk rate premium, volatility of stock, conversion stock price, current stock price and amount of time remaining before expiration of the Merger Warrants. The calculation derived a fair value adjustment of $18.5$6.8 million tofor the liability based on an anti-dilution warrantshare fair value of $7.27.$7.46.

Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value calculation as of the periodsperiod indicated were as follows:

September 30, 2021March 31, 2022
Stock price$11.4311.85 
Conversion stock price$11.50 
Time before Merger Warrant expiration1.490.99 
Stock volatility56.9545.66 %
Risk-free interest rate0.181.60 %

Series B-1 Preferred Stock - Performance Warrants (recurring) - The warrant liability was recorded at fair value as a liability, using a Monte Carlo Simulation based on certain significant unobservable inputs, such as a risk rate premium, Adjusted EBITDA volatility, stock price volatility and projected Adjusted EBITDA for the Company. The Company remained above the Adjusted EBITDA threshold for the trailing twelve-month basis from May 31, 2020 through April 30, 2021 and therefore was not required to issue additional warrants.

Prior to August 15, 2024, Services may also redeem some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes at the principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes, plus a “make-whole premium,” together with accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time prior to August 15, 2024, Services may redeem up to 40.0% of the original principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes with the proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 106.63% of the principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest.

Credit Agreement

On August 17, 2021, Services, as the borrower, and certain guarantors (including the Company), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”"Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders and CIBC Bank USA in its capacities as the Administrative and Collateral Agent for the lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for a $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “Credit"Credit Agreement Guarantors”Guarantors" and together with Services, the “Loan Parties”"Loan Parties") and is secured by a security interest in substantially all of the Loan Parties’ personal property and assets. Services has the ability to increase available borrowing under the credit facility by an additional amount up to $50.0 million subject to certain conditions.

Services may voluntarily repay and reborrow outstanding loans under the credit facility at any time subject to usual and customary breakage costs for borrowings bearing interest based on LIBOR and minimum amount requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement. The credit facility includes $100.0 million in borrowing capacity for the issuance of letters of credit. The credit facility is not subject to amortization and matures with all commitments terminating on August 17, 2026.

Interest rates on the credit facility are based upon (1) an index rate that is established at the highest of the prime rate or the sum of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or (2) at Services’ election, a LIBOR rate, plus in either case, an applicable interest rate margin. The applicable interest rate margins are adjusted on a quarterly basis based upon Services’ first lien net leverage within the range of 1.00% to 2.50% for index rate loans and 2.00% and 3.50% for LIBOR loans. Borrowings under the credit facility shall initially bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 2.50%. In anticipation of LIBOR's phase out, the Credit Agreement includes a well-documented transition mechanism for selecting a benchmark replacement rate for LIBOR. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the credit facility, Services is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the credit facility for unused commitments. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.30% to 0.45% per annum depending on Services’ First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

Debt Covenants

The credit facility requires Services to comply with a quarterly maximum consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio test and minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio as follows:

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio - The Loan Parties shall not permit the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of any four consecutive fiscal quarter period ending on the last day of a fiscal quarter to be less than 1.20:1.00, commencing with the period ending September 30, 2021.1.00.

First Lien Net Leverage Ratio – The Loan Parties will not permit the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as of the last day of any four consecutive fiscal quarter period ending on the last day of a fiscal quarter to exceed 1.75:1.00 commencing with the period ending September 30, 2021 (subject to certain increases for permitted acquisitions).

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit Services’ ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries, including the Company, to incur indebtedness or guarantee debt; incur liens; make investments, loans and acquisitions; merge, liquidate or dissolve; sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries; pay dividends on its capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire its capital stock; amend, prepay, redeem or purchase subordinated debt; and engage in transactions with affiliates.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default (including, among others, an event of default upon a change of control). If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the credit facility are entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the credit facility and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.

Third A&R Credit Agreement and Term LoanAs of March 31, 2022, management believed the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Prior to entering into the Credit Agreement, we were party to that certain Third A&R Credit Agreement, dated May 15, 2019, as amended (the “Third A&R Credit Agreement”), which governed the terms of our term loan (the “Term Loan”) and provided for revolving credit commitments of up to $75.0 million, upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the
1514


conditions set forth in the Third A&R Credit Agreement. The Term Loan was repaid in full and the Third A&R Credit Agreement has been terminated.

The stated interest rate for the senior notes as of September 30, 2021 was 6.625%. The weighted average interest rate for the Third A&R Credit Agreement term loan as of December 31, 2020 was 7.00%.

The mandatory redemption date for all tranches of the Series B Preferred Stock was February 15, 2025.

On August 17, 2021, the Company redeemed all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the Optional Redemption Price per share.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

    In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into agreements that provide financing for its machinery and equipment, facility and vehicle needs. The Company reviews these agreements for potential lease classification, and at inception, determines whether a lease is an operating or finance lease. Lease assets and liabilities, which generally represent the present value of future minimum lease payments over the term of the lease, are recognized as of the commencement date. Under ASC Topic 842, Leases, leases with an initial lease term of twelve months or less are classified as short-term leases and are not recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets unless the lease containsthey contain a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised.
    Lease term, discount rate, variable lease costs and future minimum lease payment determinations require the use of judgment as these are based on the facts and circumstances related to each specific lease. Lease terms are generally based on their initial non-cancelable terms, unless there is a renewal option that is reasonably certain to be exercised. Various factors, including economic incentives, intent, past history and business need are considered to determine if a renewal option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The implicit rate in a lease agreement is used when it can be determined. Otherwise, the Company's incremental borrowing rate, which is based on information available as of the lease commencement date, including applicable lease terms and the current economic environment, is used to determine the value of the lease obligation.
Finance Leases
    
    The Company has obligations, exclusive of associated interest, recognized under various finance leases for equipment totaling $52.8$63.5 million and $57.6$54.4 million at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a nominal defendant to a lawsuit, instituted in December 2019 in the Delaware Chancery Court by a purported stockholder of the Company, against the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board"), Oaktree Capital Management ("Oaktree"), and Ares Management, LLC ("Ares"), from which Ares was subsequently dismissed. The complaint asserts a variety of claims arising out of the sale of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to Ares and Oaktree in May 2019. The complaint alleges claims for breach of fiduciary duty directly on behalf of putative class of stockholders and derivatively on behalf of the Company, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty both derivatively and directly, and unjust enrichment derivatively on behalf of the Company. The plaintiff is seeking rescission of the transaction, unspecified monetary damages, and fees.

The timing of the approval of the settlement, if any, by the Court is unknown at this time but is not expected to occur prior to year-end.until later in 2022. The Company has placed its director and officer liability insurance carriers on notice of the lawsuit and the proposed settlement; pursuant to the coverage terms, the Company is subject to a $1.5 million deductible, which the Company has exhausted. Pursuant to agreements entered into in connection with the sale of Series B Preferred Stock, the Company is obligated to indemnify Oaktree and Ares for any legal fees and damages incurred by either of them in connection with this matter.

The Company is involved in a variety of other legal cases, claims and other disputes that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. While the Company believes it has good defense against these cases and intends to defend them vigorously, it cannot provide assurance that it will be successful in recovering all or any of the potential damages it has claimed or in successfully defending claims against the Company. While the lawsuits and claims are asserted for amounts that may be material, should an unfavorable outcome occur, management does not currently expect that any currently pending matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, an unfavorable resolution of one or more of such matters could have a material adverse effect onflows, although there can be no certainty that this will be the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.case.

Note 8. Earnings Per Share

    The Company calculates earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”("EPS") in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

    Income (loss) available to common stockholders is computed by deducting the dividends accrued for the period on cumulative preferred stock from net income and net income allocated to participating securities. If there is a net loss, the amount of the loss is increased by those preferred dividends.

    Diluted EPS, where applicable, assumes the dilutive effect of (i) Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method, (ii) publicly traded warrants, (iii) Series B Preferred Stock - Warrants and (iv) the assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options and the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”("RSUs"), using the treasury stock method.

    Whether the Company has net income, or a net loss determines whether potential issuances of common stock are included in the diluted EPS computation or whether they would be anti-dilutive. As a result, if there is a net loss, diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as basic EPS is computed. Similarly, if the Company has net income but its preferred dividend
19


adjustment made in computing income available to common stockholders results in a net loss available to common stockholders, diluted EPS would be computed the same as basic EPS.

Stock Compensation
    
    Under guidance of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, stock-based compensation expense is measured at the date of grant, based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award).

    The fair value of the RSUs wasis based on the closing market price of ourthe Company's common stock on the date of the grant. Stock compensation expense for the RSUs is being amortized using the straight-line method over the service period. For the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, wethe Company recognized $1.5$1.6 million and $1.1$0.7 million in compensation expense, respectively, and $4.2 million and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Business EnvironmentTrends

We believe there are long-term growth opportunities across ourthe industries in which we operate, and we continue to have a positive long-term outlook. Although not without risks and challenges, including those discussed in “Significant Factors Impacting Results”
and in “Forward-Looking Statements” and items referred to in Item 1A. Risk Factors disclosed in the Company's Annual Report. We believe that with our full-service operations, broad geographic reach, financial position and technical expertise, we are well positioned to mitigate thesethe risks and continuechallenges in our industries while continuing to capitalize on opportunities and trendstrends.

Inflationary Market Pressures. We are experiencing the general impact of inflationary market pressures in our industries.supply chain and labor markets. We continue to see pressures on non-union labor costs, as the inflationary environment, coupled with the general labor shortage, has created highly competitive markets for talent and opportunities for regular wage inflation.We continue to operate with disciplined hiring practices, but we believe our labor costs will continue to increase given our demand for labor in this environment. We are also experiencing difficulties in securing pricing or the availability of certain supplies and raw materials, as sometimes unpredictable supply chain market price escalations are impacting our subcontractors and suppliers. Our contracting practices require us to lock in pricing with subcontractors and suppliers at the time we sign a project contract, which mitigates some of these inflationary risks.However, the current market pressures are, at times, making it untenable for our suppliers and subcontractors to locate materials or honor contracted pricing without undue hardship and we
24


believe this trend is likely to continue for so long as markets continue to experience current levels of inflation. And, while opportunities to bid on new projects and work are at some of the highest levels we’ve seen in several years, we believe inflationary market pressures may impact our ability to secure backlog in the near term.Particularly in our Specialty Civil segment, we continue to see projects on which we have submitted competitive bids being left unawarded, as all submitted bids have exceeded allowable budgets due to the inflationary pressures on materials and labor. Additionally, continued inflation may result in tightening of the credit markets, making access to funding, bonding, letters of credit or sureties more difficult, any of which could adversely impact our profitability and cash flow.

Labor Shortage. We continue to address the longer-term need for additional labor resources in our markets, as our customers continue to seek additional specialized labor resources to address an aging workforce and longer-term labor availability issues, increasing pressure to reduce costs and improve reliability, and increasing duration and complexity of their capital programs. We believe these trends will continue, possibly to such a degree that demand for labor resources will outpace supply. Furthermore, the cyclical nature of the RenewableRenewables and, to a certain extent, parts of our Specialty Civil segment, can create shortages of qualified labor in those markets during periods of high demand. Our ability to capitalize on available opportunities is limited by our ability to employ, train and retain the necessary skilled personnel, and therefore we are taking proactive steps to develop our workforce, including through strategic relationships with universities, the military and unions and the expansion and development of our training facility and postsecondary educational institution.programs. Although we believe these initiatives will help address workforce needs, meeting our customers’ demand for labor resources could remain challenging.

Additionally, as noted above, we believe that labor costs will continue to increase given the recent escalated inflationary environment in the United States. Our labor costs are typically passed through in our contracts and the portion of our workforce that is represented by labor unions typically operateoperates under multi-year collective bargaining agreements, which provideprovides some visibility into future labor costs. As a result, while weWe continue to monitor our labor markets weand do not currently believe this environment will present a material risk to our profitability, and wouldas we presently expect to be able to adjust contract pricing with customers to the extent wages and other labor costs increase, whether due to renegotiation of collective bargaining agreements or market conditions. However, the current inflationary pressures on labor costs could result in our inability to adjust contract pricing to keep up with current upward inflationary trends and could impact our profitability.

Supply Chain Disruption. DisruptionThe world’s biggest solar panel manufacturers have recently been warning of panel shortages amid. We are experiencing supply chain disruptions in our end markets related to the following factors:

Labor shortages at suppliers have increased delays of the production of certain materials, including but not limited to machinery, tools, copper, reinforced steel, solar panels and other items;
As mentioned previously, inflationary pressures have made it difficult for suppliers to commit to contracted pricing or obtain materials at commercially reasonable prices;
Shipping costs have increased significantly due to higher demand for products but fewer delivery options due to a reduction of truck drivers and rail cars;
Delayed sequencing in our projects related to the inability to determine specific delivery dates for key materials;
Cost increases for tax, tariffs and border controls for materials entering the U.S. from other countries;
Delayed shipments of goods or of materials requiring parts sourced from European countries impacted by the effects of the Russian invasion of Ukraine;
Potential bans or delays of imports of certain goods from suppliers having significant operations in Russia, whether as a result of a supplier’s operational decision or of sanctions imposed on Russia or operations backed by the Russian state;
Delayed shipments and potential cost increases resulting from the U.S. Department of Commerce anti-dumping circumvention investigation announced in March 2022 of solar cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam; and
Bans on imports of certain goods from China, particularly of polysilicon covered by the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which is a significant input in the production of solar panels. These bans could result in project delays and increased costs to us or our customers.

These factors differ in their severity and impact on us and continue to evolve, and we believe their severity and impact on us may not be stable and could continue to fluctuate.

We continue to monitor these supply chain disruptions and rising material prices. These manufactures have stated that output will be constrained because key component suppliers will be running at less than full capacityother logistical challenges, global trade relationships (e.g., tariffs, sourcing restrictions) and other general market and political conditions (e.g., inflation, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, international sanctions) with respect to availability and costs of certain materials and equipment necessary for the performance
25


of our business and for materials necessary for our customers’ projects. For example, in the renewable energy market, we are experiencing supply chain challenges, resulting in delays and shortages of, and increased costs for, materials necessary for the construction of certain renewable energy projects in the near future. The reduction in supply is also coupled with the Departmentterm, including as a result of Commerce considering 50%sourcing restrictions related to 250% tariffs on imported solar panels from Southwestmanufactured in China and other locations in Southeast Asia. A majorityWhile we believe many of our renewable energy customers may be able to manage near-term supply chain disruptions better than their smaller competitors, these challenges could delay our customers’ ongoing projects or impact their future project schedules, which in turn could impact the United States crystalline silicon solar module importstiming of our projects. While these delays are not anticipated to result in the first half of 2021 came from this geographic location. We believe that these disruptions and material price increasesexposure to liquidated damages or commodity risks, such delays could cause aour customers to cancel or delay in construction schedules for 2022, inefficiencies inprojects, as higher than expected costs impact their project profitability projections and that could adversely impact our build schedulesprofitability and fluctuations to our revenue projections.cash flow.

Regulatory Challenges. Challenges. The regulatory environment creates both challenges and opportunities for our business, and in recent years heavy civil and rail construction have been impacted by regulatory and permitting delays in certain periods, particularly with respect to regulatory and environmental permittingpermitting. Permitting processes continue to create uncertainty for projects and negatively impact customer spending, and delays have increased as the COVID-19 pandemic hasand labor shortages have impacted regulatory agency operations. Additionally, in our Renewables segment, changes in certain states' environmental regulations and permitting processes have created delays and uncertainty for certain projects.

We are also experiencing disruptions, and anticipate continuing to experience disruptions into next year, relating to a recently announced US Department of Commerce investigation of solar panels imported from Chinese companies in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The investigation stems from allegations that solar cells and modules from these countries are circumventing previously imposed antidumping and countervailing duty orders on solar cells and modules from China.

While the Department has announced that preliminary findings of the investigation are expected in August, it has also signaled that it may not issue its final decision until the middle of 2023. The Department’s conclusion could result in retroactive duties for our customers back to November 2021. While any retroactive duties are not expected to directly impact our profitability, the cost and timing uncertainty of this decision could impact our customers’ project profitability projections, which may delay or cancel certain projects, thus potentially adversely impacting our profitability and cash flow.
However, we believe that there are also several existing, pending or proposed legislative or regulatory actions that may alleviate certain regulatory and permitting issues and positively impact long-term demand, particularly in connection with infrastructure and renewable energy spending. For example, regulatory changes affecting siting and
30


right-of-way processes could potentially accelerate construction for transmission projects, and state and federal reliability standards are creating incentives for system investment and maintenance. Additionally, as described above, we consider renewable energy, including solar and wind generation facilities, to be an ongoing opportunity; however, policy and economic incentives designed to support and encourage such projects can create variability of project timing.

Renewables Segment

For further discussion of these risks, see
The Renewables segment was impacted byItem 1A. Risk Factors disclosed in the following significant operational trends:

Revenue increased 58.1% to $517.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $327.1 million.Annual Report.

Segment Opportunities

Revenues increased primarily due to wind projects that started later in 2021 compared to 2020. Further, higher demand persists in our solar market as projects continue to increase due to our consistent, safe and reliable performance with our customers on our wind projects, that has allowed us to capture further solar opportunities in backlog for 2021 and beyond.
Renewables Segment

We have maintained a heavy focus on construction of renewable power production capacity as renewable energy, particularly from wind and solar, has become widely accepted within the electric utility industry and has become a cost-effective solution for the creation of new generating capacity. We believe that this shiftthese shifts, coupled with the factors noted below, will continue to drive opportunity in this segment over the long-term:

The current administration has a goal of investing $2 trillion in modern, sustainable, and clean energy infrastructure.

Renewable energy power generation has reached a level of scale and maturity that permits these technologies to now be cost-effective competitors to more traditional power generation technologies, including on an unsubsidized basis. The most significant changes have been related to increased turbine sizes and better battery storage methods.

Over 40 states and the District of Colombia have adopted renewable portfolio standards for clean energy.

In December 2020, there wasenergy     that require a one year extensionspecified percentage of the PTC at 60% for projectselectricity that begin construction prior to December 31, 2021 and a two year extension of 26% Solar Investment Tax Credit (“ITC”) to 2022 (22% credit extended through 2023).utilities sell come from renewable resources.

On June 29, 2021, the IRSInternal Revenue Service issued a notice whichthat provides that projects that began construction in 2016-2019 have six years, and projects that began construction in 2020 have five years, from the date construction began to be placed-in-service in order to qualify for the PTCproduction tax credits ("PTC") or ITCinvestment tax credits ("ITC") that waswere in effect when construction began. This new rule
26


effectively extends the amount of time that many projects will be eligible for PTC to 2025.

As a result, wind and solar power are among the leading sources of new power generation capacity in the U.S., and the Company does not anticipate this trend to change in the near future, as we are continuing to see growth through new awards in our backlog:backlog as indicated in the following table:

(2) Backlog may differ from the transaction prices allocated to the remaining performance obligations as disclosed in Note 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
31


Such differences relate to the timing of executing a formal contract or receiving a notice to proceed. More specifically, backlog sometimes may include awards for which a contract has not yet been executed or a notice to proceed has not been issued, but for which there are no remaining major uncertainties that the project will proceed (e.g., adequate funding is in place).

Specialty Civil Segment

The Specialty Civil segment was impacted by the following significant operational trends:

Revenue decreased 7.5% to $180.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $195.2 million. The revenue decrease for the three months ended is primarily due to challenges in the following end markets:

The heavy civil construction market has seen increased competition in a few of our end markets.

The rail market has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the reduction of spending budgets of some of our customers, which has led to further delays on portions of our large rail jobs. However, we have recently seen increased bidding opportunities.

All of our end markets in this segment have experienced delays in timing related to obtaining governmental approvals and environmental permitting that have affected the start and bidding opportunities of certain projects.

Despite the delays in project starts mentioned above we continued to see a strong bidding environment in the heavy civil construction and environmental remediation end markets for 2021 and had significant awarded projects related to:

The environmental remediation market continues to provide opportunities for growth and the Company has been awarded a very significant project that started in 2021, coupled with the Company being short listed on some very significant projects with anticipated start dates in 2022.

The heavy civil construction market continues to be consistent year over year for awarded projects.

The rail market has started to see a small turnaround in bidding as our customer's spending budgets have increased. This has increased the number of larger rail jobs available for 2022 construction.

We believe that our business relationships with customers in these sectors are excellent and the strong reputation that our companies have built has provided us with the right foundation to continue to grow our revenue base. The drivers to further growing this segment are as follows:

The FMI 2021 Overview Report published in the first quarter of 2021 projects that nonresidential construction put in place for the United States will be over $500 billion per year from 2021 to 2024.

Fast Act extension and highway trust fund infusion of $13.6 billion for the highway and transit account.

According to the American Coal Ash Association, coal combustion residuals “CCRs” or “coal ash” are produced by coal-fired power plants and represent one of the largest categories of industrial waste in the U.S., as 78.6 million tons of CCRs were produced in 2019. The Company anticipates this could be a $50.0 billion industry over the next ten years.

Additionally, there is significant overlap in labor, skills and equipment needs between our Renewables segment and our Specialty Civil segment, which we expect will continue to provide us with operating efficiencies as we continue to expand this sector. The Company continues to cross leverage these two segments and continues to see future growth through new awards in our backlog:

Specialty Civil Segment

We believe that our business relationships with customers in these sectors are excellent and the strong reputation that we have built has provided us with the right foundation to continue to grow our revenue base. We believe that the drivers to further growing this segment include:

The FMI 2022 Overview Report, published in the first quarter of 2022, projects that nonresidential construction in the U.S. will be over $500 billion per year from 2022 to 2025.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will provide $1.2 trillion of federal spending for infrastructure and other investments, including $550 billion of new spending over the next five years. This bill includes provision for spending in the following areas:

Environmental remediation: $21.0 billion
Roads and bridges: $110.0 billion
Passenger and freight rail: $66.0 billion

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") has continued to take action on controlling and cleaning up the contamination of coal ash disposal. In January 2022, the EPA announced that it planned to finalize a federal permitting program for the disposal of coal ash and to establish regulations for legacy coal ash surface impoundment. We believe additional regulations could contribute to a slower market as our customers develop strategies on how to comply with any new guidance put forth by the EPA.

Additionally, there is significant overlap in labor, skills and equipment needs between our Renewables segment and our Specialty Civil segment, which we expect will continue to provide us with operating efficiencies as we continue to expand in this sector. The Company continues to cross leverage these two segments and continues to see future growth through new awards in our backlog as indicated in the following table:

Backlog

    For companies in the construction industry, backlog can be an indicator of future revenue streams. Estimated backlog represents the amount of revenue we expect to realize in 2022 and beyond from the uncompleted portions of existing construction contracts, including new contracts under which work has not begun and awarded contracts for which the definitive project documentation is being prepared, as well as revenue from change orders and renewal options. Estimated backlog for work under fixed price contracts and cost-reimbursable contracts is determined based on historical trends, anticipated seasonal impacts, experience from similar projects and estimates of customer demand based on communications with our customers. Cost-reimbursable contracts are included in backlog based on the estimated total contract price upon completion.

Based on historical trends in the Company’s backlog, we believe awarded contracts to be firm and that the revenue for such contracts will be recognized over the life of the project.applicable projects. Timing of revenue for construction and installation projects included in our backlog can be subject to change as a result of customer delays, regulatory factors, the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain or labor disruptions, weather and/or other project-related factors. These changes could cause estimated revenue to be realized in periods later than originally expected, or not at all. In the past, we have occasionally experienced postponements, cancellations and reductions on construction projects due to market volatility and regulatory factors.factors, and we are currently experiencing some regulatory, supply chain and labor market delays and shortages that may result in delays in the estimated completion dates of some projects currently in our backlog. There can be no assurance as to our customers’ requirements or the accuracy of our estimates. As a result, our backlog as of any particular date is an uncertain indicator of future revenue and earnings.earnings and may not result in actual revenue or profits.

    Backlog is not a term recognized under GAAP, although it is a common measurement used in our industry. Our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to the methodologies used by others. See ‘‘Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2021 for a discussion of the risks associated with our backlog.

Significant Factors Impacting Results

Our revenues, margins and other results of operations can be influenced by a variety of factors in any given period, including those described in Results of Operations, Business Trends and Forward LookingForward-Looking Statements, and those factors have caused fluctuations in our results in the past and are expected to cause fluctuations in our results in the future. Additional information with respect to certain of those factors is provided below.

33


Seasonality. Typically, our revenues, particularly for our Renewables segment, are lowest in the first quarter of the year because cold, snowy or wet conditions can create challenging working environments that are more costly for our customers or cause delays on projects. In addition, infrastructure projects often do not begin in a meaningful way until our customers finalize their capital budgets, which typically occurs during the first quarter. Second quarter revenues are typically higher than those in the first quarter, as some projects begin, but continued cold and wet weather can often impact productivity.
28


Third quarter revenues are typically the highest of the year, as a greater number of projects are underway and operating conditions, including weather, are normally more accommodating. Generally, revenues during the fourth quarter are lower than the third quarter but higher than the second quarter, as many projects are completed and customers often seek to spend their capital budgets before year end. However, the holiday season and inclement weather can sometimes cause delays during the fourth quarter, reducing revenues and increasing costs.

Our revenue and results of operations for our Specialty Civil segment are also affected by seasonality but to a lesser extent as these projects in this segment are more geographically diverse and located in areas that are less impacted by severe weather. While the first and second quarter revenues are typically lower than the third and fourth quarter, we believe thisquarters, the geographical diversity has allowed this segment to be less seasonal over the course of the year.

Weather and Natural Disasters.natural disasters. The results of our business in a given period can be impacted by adverse weather conditions, severe weather events or natural disasters, which include, among other things, heavy or prolonged snowfall or rainfall, hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, floods, blizzards, extreme temperatures, wildfires, pandemics and earthquakes.earthquakes, and which may be exacerbated by climate change. These conditions and events, as well as other factors beyond our control, such as pandemics, can negatively impact our financial results due to the termination, deferral or delay of projects, reduced productivity and exposure to significant liabilities.

Cyclical demand. Fluctuations in end-user demand within the industries we serve, or in the supply of services within those industries, can impact demand for our services. As a result, our business may be adversely affected by industry declines or by delays in new projects. Variations in project schedules or unanticipated changes in project schedules, in particular, in connection with large construction and installation projects, can create fluctuations in revenue, which may adversely affect us in a given period. In addition, revenue from master service agreements, while generally predictable, can be subject to volatility. The financial condition of our customers and their access to capital, variations in project margins, regional, national and global economic, political and market conditions, regulatory or environmental influences, and acquisitions, dispositions or strategic investments can also materially affect quarterly results. Accordingly, our operating results in any particular period may not be indicative of the results that can be expected for any other period.

Revenue mix. The mix of revenues based on the types of services we provide in a given period will impact margins, as certain industries and services provide higher-margin opportunities. Revenue derived from projects billed on a fixed-price basis totaled 99.5%74.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. Revenue derived from projects billed on a unit price basis totaled 24.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Revenue and related costs for construction contracts billed on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are rendered. Revenue derived from projects billed on a time and materials basis totaled 0.5%1.1% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022.

Size, scope and complexity of projects. Larger or more complex projects with design or construction complexities;complexities, more difficult terrain requirements;requirements or longer distance requirements typically yield opportunities for higher margins as we assume a greater degree of performance risk and there is greater utilization of our resources for longer construction timeframes. Furthermore,In contrast, smaller or less complex projects typically have a greater number of companies competing for them, and competitors at times may more aggressively pursue available work. A greater percentage of smaller scale or less complex work also could negatively impact margins due to the inefficiency of transitioning between a larger number of smaller projects versus continuous production on fewer larger projects. Also, at times we may choose to maintain a portion of our workforce and equipment in an underutilized capacity to ensure we are strategically positioned to deliver on larger projects when they move forward.

Project variability and performance. Margins for a single project may fluctuate from period to period due to changes in the volume or type of work performed, the pricing structure under the project contract or job productivity. Additionally, our productivity and performance on a project can vary from period to period based on a number of factors, including unexpected project difficulties or site conditions; project location, including locations with challenging operating conditions; whether the work is on an open or encumbered right of way; inclement weather or severe weather events; environmental restrictions or regulatory delays; protests, other political activity or legal challenges related to a project; and the performance of third parties.

Subcontract work and provision of materials. Work that is subcontracted to other service providers generally yields lower margins, and therefore an increase in subcontract work in a given period can decrease margins. Our customers are usually responsible for supplying the materials for their projects; however, under some contracts we agree to procure all or part of the required materials. Margins may be lower on projects where we furnish a significant amount of materials, including projects where we provide engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") services, as our markup on materials is generally lower
34


than our markup on labor costs. Furthermore, fluctuations in the price of materials we procure, including as a result of changes in U.S. or global trade relationships or other economic or political conditions, may impact our margins. In a given period, an increase in the percentage of work with higher materials procurement requirements may decrease our overall margins. See further discussion above in "Business Environment".

Coronavirus Pandemic Update

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to significantly impact the United States and the world. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been focused on the safety of our employees and ensuring that our construction sites are managed by taking all reasonable precautions to protect on-site personnel.

    We are actively monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic, including disease and variant progression, vaccine response and availability, federal, state and local government actions, the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”) and World Health Organization (“WHO”) responses, supplier and supply chain risks, and prevention and containment measures to maintain business operations. As the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses by federal, state and local governments continue to evolve, we continue to make adjustments to our practices and policies to protect the health of our employees and those we work with at our projects and office locations, while continuing to provide our essential construction services to our clients.

    We believe that the foregoing actions have significantly reduced the Company’s exposure to the effects of COVID-19, including our workforce’s exposure to infection from COVID-19. As of today, we have had a low incidence of infection in our workforce. As vaccines become increasingly available to our workforce, clients and their families, we are evaluating and redoing protocols as management deems appropriate and based on federal, state and local government recommendations and policies.

We have noticed an impact of COVID-19 in adding new projects to our backlog. Our bidding activity continues at very high levels, but the final approval process for some projects, especially in our Specialty Segment, has been slowed due to COVID-19. Despite that, we were able to increase total backlog for September 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020.

We are unable to predict whether COVID-19 will continue to negatively impact the construction business and the degree of such impact as more of the population becomes vaccinated. We do not believe that COVID-19 is having a negative impact on our liquidity. We could see a change in this status if we experience future work stoppages at our projects due to significant supply chain or production disruptions, which would prevent us from billing customers for new work performed. Additionally, we could experience a change if we experience future work stoppages, shortages or disruptions as a result of seeking to comply with forthcoming federal vaccine mandate rules from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. If the federal, state and local governments proceed with more restrictive measures, and our customers determine to stop work or terminate projects, these actions would negatively impact our business, results of operations, liquidity and prospects. In addition, the Company is unable to predict any changes in the market for bonding by our sureties.

Segment Results

The Company operatedoperates our business as two reportable segments: the Renewables segment and the Specialty Civil segment. Each of our reportable segments is comprised of similar business units that specialize in services unique to the respective markets that each segment serves. The classification of revenue and gross profit for segment reporting purposes can at times require judgment on the part of management. Our segments may perform services across industries or perform joint services for customers in multiple industries. To determine reportable segment gross profit, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, such as facility costs, equipment costs and indirect operating expenses, were made based on segment revenue.

The following table sets forth segment revenues and gross profit for the years indicated, as well as the dollar and percentage change from the prior year:

Renewables Segment Results

Revenue. Renewables revenue was $517.2$243.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022, as compared to $327.1$180.4 million for the same period in 2020,2021, an increase of 58.1%35.1%, or $190.1$63.2 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to:

The Company had 17 wind projects of greater than $5.0 million of revenueAn increase in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 20 wind projects during the same period in 2020;
The averagesolar revenue of the 17 wind projects was $28.5 million in 2021 compared to $15.5 million related to the 20 wind projects during the same period in 2020; and
Solar revenue increased $35.0$92.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 when compared to the same period for 2020.2021; offset by
A decrease in wind revenue in the first quarter of 2022 resulting from a smaller number of active projects, as compared to the same period in 2021.

Gross profit. Renewables gross profit was $51.9$1.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022, as compared to $37.4$12.2 million for 2020, an increase2021, a decrease of 38.8%89.3%, or $14.5$10.9 million. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 10.0%0.5% in 2021,2022, as compared to 11.4%6.8% in 2020.2021. The decrease in percentage and dollars was primarily dueattributable to challenges related to hurricane-related rainfall coupled withthe following factors:

The decrease was driven primarily by the inflationary impact of labor, supply chain, disruptionfuel, and certain commodities costs. During the quarter, we recognized these inflationary increases to our estimated costs to complete for the impacted wind and solar jobs. For projects for which we could not increase the value of the contract, these increases reduced their projected margin. In addition, for projects that were in our solar business that caused inefficiencies in project sequencing on a few large projects.progress at the

start of the quarter, the increased costs caused the percentage of completion of the relevant projects to be reduced, which required the reversal of a portion of revenue and margin that had previously been recognized on an over-time basis during 2021.


To a lesser extent, the decrease was also driven by increased training costs during the quarter, as we continue to increase our labor force to execute our remaining backlog.

Specialty Civil Segment Results

Revenue. Specialty Civil revenue was $180.6$116.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022, as compared to $195.2$96.0 million for 2020, a decrease2021, an increase of 7.5%21.3%, or $14.6$20.4 million. The decreaseincrease in revenue was primarily due to:to the following factors:

Heavy civil and rail markets had less construction projects and a lower average value of projectsContinued growth in the third quarter of 2021environmental remediation market and the Company having more projects under construction compared to 2020;the prior year; and
Offsetting the decrease in revenue was a slight increase in our environmental remediation market due to larger projectsContinued modest but steady growth in the third quarterheavy civil construction market and our leverage of 2021.shared resources to more effectively bid and execute projects.

These revenue increases were offset by revenue decreases in the rail market, which has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the reduction of spending budgets of some of our customers, which has led to delays on portions of our large rail jobs.

Gross profit. Specialty Civil gross profit was $20.3$2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022, as compared to $21.5$4.4 million for 2020,2021, a decrease of 5.6%42.0%, or $1.2$1.8 million. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 11.2%2.2% in 2021,2022, as compared to 11.0%4.5% in 2020. The increase in percentage was primarily due to growth in the environmental remediation market and the project mix compared to prior year.

Information technology costs of $2.3 million related to software licensing;
Business travel costs of $1.7 million; and
Stock-based compensation of $1.1 million.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net decreased by $9.0 million in the first nine months of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily driven by the redemption of Series B Preferred Stock.
Other income (expense). Other income (expense), for discussion, includes Loss on extinguishment of debt, Warrant liability fair value adjustment and Other income (expense) decreased by $123.4 million, to expense of $(123.0) million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to income of $0.3 million for the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily the result of increases in the following:

Loss on debt extinguishment of $101.0 million;
Warrant liability fair market value increase of $17.2 million; and
Other expense related to transaction costs of $5.1 million.

See further discussion in Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Note 6. Debt and Series B Preferred Stock included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes decreased $6.0 million, to $4.0 million in the first nine months of 2021, compared to $10.0 million for the same period in 2020. The effective tax rates for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020were (3.6)% and 82.5%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2021 was primarily attributable to lower permanent differences related to interest and other expenses accrued for the Series B Preferred Stock and executive compensation, which are not deductible for federal and state income taxes. There were no changes in uncertain tax positions during the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Renewables Segment Results

Revenue. Renewables revenue was $1,122.4 million for the first nine months of 2021 as compared to $900.1 million for the same period in 2020, an increase of 24.7%, or $222.3 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to:

Solar revenue increased $169.0 million for the first nine months of 2021 when compared to the same period for 2020; and
Wind revenue increased $53.3 million for the first nine months of 2021 when compared to the same period for 2020, due to a 4% larger average value of project.

Gross profit. Renewablesgross profit was $106.9 million for the first nine months of 2021 as compared to $100.2 million for 2020, an increase of 6.7%, or $6.7 million. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 9.5% in 2021, as compared to 11.1% in 2020.2021. The decrease in percentage and dollars was primarily due to challengesdriven by the inflationary increases discussed above. Additionally, we recorded increased costs related to hurricane-related rainfall coupled with supply chain disruption in our solar business caused inefficient working conditions on a few largethe close out of three projects.

Specialty Civil Segment Results

Revenue. Specialty Civil revenue was $411.9 million for the first nine months of 2021 as compared to $460.9 million for 2020, a decrease of 10.6%, or $49.0 million. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to:

Rail markets continue to experience a decrease in revenue primarily due to delay in project starts for railroads and lower budgets decreasing bidding opportunities;
Heavy civil market had less construction projects and a lower average value of projects in the first nine months of 2021 compared to 2020; and
Offsetting the decrease in revenue was a slight increase in our environmental remediation market due to more projects in the first nine months of 2021 compared to 2020.

Gross profit. Specialty Civil gross profit was $35.3 million for the first nine months of 2021 as compared to $46.0 million for 2020, a decrease of 23.3%, or $10.7 million. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit was 8.6%, as compared to 10.0% during the same period in 2020. In the first nine months of 2021, the Company had less projects under construction in the heavy civil and rail markets, which contributed to lower utilization of labor and equipment fixed costs, partially offset by increases in the environmental remediation market.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

    Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, our cash balances and availability under our new Credit Agreement.Agreement (as defined in Debt – Credit Agreement below). Our primary liquidity needs are for working capital, debt service, income taxes, capital expenditures, insurance collateral, and strategic acquisitions. As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had approximately $158.3$28.7 million in cash and $116.3$132.7 million availability under our Credit Agreement.

We anticipate that our existing cash balances, funds generated from operations, and borrowings will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements for the next twelve months.months and in the longer term. No assurance can be given, however, that these sources will be sufficient, because there are many factors whichthat could affect our liquidity, including some that are beyond our control. Please seeSee Item 1A. Risk Factors”Factors in Part I of our Annual Report for a discussion of the risks associated with our liquidity.

Capital Expenditures

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred $22.7 million in finance lease payments and an additional $24.0 million in cash purchases for equipment. We estimate that we will spend approximately two percent of revenue for capital expenditures for 2021. Actual capital expenditures may increase or decrease in the future depending upon business activity levels, as well as ongoing assessments of equipment lease versus buy decisions based on short and long-term equipment requirements.

Working Capital

    We require working capital to support seasonal variations in our business, primarily due to the effect of weather conditions on external construction and maintenance work and the spending patterns of our customers, both of which influence the timing of associated spending to support related customer demand. Our business is typically slower in the first quarter of each calendar year. Working capital needs are generally lower during the spring when projects are awarded and we receive down payments from customers. Conversely, working capital needs generally increase during the summer or fall months due to increased demand for our services when favorable weather conditions exist in many of the regions in which we operate. Working capital needs are typically lower and working capital is converted to cash during the winter months. These seasonal trends, however, can be offset by changes in the timing of projects, which can be affected by project delays or accelerations and/or other factors that may affect customer spending.

    Generally, we receive 5% to 10% cash payments from our customers upon the inception of our Renewable projects. Timing of billing milestones and project close-outs can contribute to changes in unbilled revenue. As of September 30, 2021,
40


substantially all of our costs in excess of billings and earnings will be billed to customers in the normal course of business within the next twelve months. Net accounts receivable balances, which consist of contract billings as well as costs and earnings in excess of billings and retainage, increased to $550.1 million as of September 30, 2021 from $309.0 million as of December 31, 2020, due primarily to timing of project activity, and collection of billings to customers.

    Our billing terms are generally net 30 days, and some of our contracts allow our customers to retain a portion of the contract amount (generally, from 5% to 10%) until the job is completed. As part of our ongoing working capital management practices, we evaluate opportunities to improve our working capital cycle time through contractual provisions and certain financing arrangements. Our agreements with subcontractors often may contain a ‘‘pay-if-paid’’ provision, whereby our payments to subcontractors are made only after we are paid by our customers.

The increase in net cash provided byused in operating activities reflects the timing of receipts from customers and payments to vendors in the ordinary course of business.

Deferred Taxes - COVID-19

The CARES Act was enacted on March 27, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 emergency. The CARES Act includes many measures to assist companies, including temporary changes to income and non-income-based tax laws. Some of the key income tax-related provisions of the CARES Act include:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Credit Risk

    We are subject to concentrations of credit risk related to our net receivable position with customers, which includes amounts related to billed and unbilled accounts receivable and costs and earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts net of advanced billings with the same customer. We grant credit under normal payment terms, generally without collateral, and as a result, we are subject to potential credit risk related to our customers’ ability to pay for services provided. This risk may be heightened if there is depressed economic and financial market conditions. However, we have the ability to file lien rights to limit this exposure and we believe the concentration of credit risk related to billed and unbilled receivables and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts is limited because of the lack of concentration and the high credit rating of our customers.

    At September 30, 2021, thereThere have been no other material changes except as mentioned below, from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report, on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 8, 2021, which is accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov, except as describedmentioned below.

Our Repurchase ProgramWe are experiencing impacts from inflationary pressures in our supply chain and labor markets, which could adversely impact our profitability and cash flow.

We are experiencing, and may continue to experience, the general impact of inflationary market pressures in our supply chain and labor markets. We continue to see pressures on non-union labor costs as a result of the inflationary environment and current general labor shortage, which have created higher competitive markets for talents and opportunities for wage inflation. Despite disciplined hiring practices, it is likely that our labor costs will continue to increase given our demand for labor in this environment. In addition, inflationary pressures on labor costs could result in our inability to adjust contract pricing to keep up with current upward inflationary trends and could impact our profitability.

We are also experiencing difficulties in securing pricing or the availability of certain supplies and raw materials, as sometimes unpredictable supply chain market price escalations are impacting and may continue to impact our subcontractors and suppliers. The current market pressures can make it difficult for our suppliers and subcontractors to locate materials or honor contracted pricing without undue hardship. It is likely that this trend will continue as long as markets continue to experience current levels of inflation. Inflationary market pressures could also impact our ability to secure backlog in the near term. Particularly in our Specialty Civil segment, we continue to see projects on which we have submitted competitive bids being left unawarded, as all submitted bids have exceeded allowable budgets due to the inflationary pressures on materials and labor.

Continued inflation may also result in tightened credit markets and restrict access to funding, bonding, letters of credit or sureties, any of which could adversely impact our profitability and cash flow.

We are impacted by ongoing supply chain pressures resulting from global economic and geopolitical conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These conditions are rapidly evolving and could result in negative effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are experiencing supply chain disruptions relating to a variety of factors, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, production delays due to labor shortages, inflationary pressures making it difficult for suppliers to commit to contracted pricing or to obtain materials for commercially reasonable prices, fewer delivery options due to a reduction of truck drivers and rail cars, delayed sequencing in our projects related to the inability to determine specific delivery dates for key materials, cost increases for tax, tariffs and border controls, delayed shipments and potential bans or delays of imports as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, regulatory activity that includes the U.S. Department of Commerce’s ongoing antidumping circumvention investigation related to solar cells from Southeast Asia, and bans on imports of certain goods from China including in particular a significant input in the production of solar panels as a result of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. Supply chain disruptions have adversely impacted economic activity and conditions worldwide and we expect that impact to continue.

Any of the foregoing or other supply chain disruptions could cause project delays or terminations or otherwise impact our customers’ ongoing projects or their future project schedules, constitute force majeure events and prevent the financing of new projects by our customers, which could negatively impact our ability to recognize revenues, bill our customers for current costs or secure future business. The factors underlying these disruptions differ in their severity and impact on us and continue to evolve, and we believe that severity and impact may not enhance long-term valuebe stable and repurchases, if any, could increasecontinue to fluctuate. There can be no assurances that our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations will not be negatively impacted by the pricefuture effects of labor market and volatilitysupply chain disruptions, or that such disruptions and their impacts will not worsen in the future.

On November 4, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program for the Company’sour publicly traded warrants to purchase common stock, which trade on the NASDAQ under the symbol IEAWW.warrants. This repurchase program was announced on November 8, 2021, allows the Companyus to purchase up to $25.0 million of warrants, at prevailing prices, in open market or negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and other considerations, beginning November 11, 2021, and it will end no later than the expiration of the warrants on March 26, 2023. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to make any repurchases and it may be suspended at any time.

The timing and actual number of warrants repurchased depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, available cash, and other market conditions. Warrant repurchases may not enhance shareholder value, as any warrants repurchased could affect the price of our warrants and common stock, increase their price volatility and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for our warrants and common stock. Additionally, repurchases under this repurchase program will diminish our cash reserves, which impacts our ability to support our operations and pursue possible future opportunities and acquisitions.
