TUTOR PERINI CORP (TPC) Business

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Tutor Perini Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Tutor Perini,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our,” unless the context indicates otherwise) is a leading construction company offering diversified general contracting, construction management and design-build services to private customers and public agencies throughout the world. The Company was formed through the 2008 merger between Tutor-Saliba Corporation and Perini Corporation (“Perini”) and our legacy dates to 1894, when Perini's predecessor businesses began providing construction services. Our corporate headquarters are in Los Angeles (Sylmar), California, and we have various other principal offices throughout the United States and its territories (see Item 2. Properties for a listing of our major facilities). Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TPC.” We are incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

We are a recognized leader in the construction industry and have built a solid reputation for executing large, complex projects while adhering to strict safety and quality control standards. We offer general contracting, pre-construction planning and comprehensive project management services, and have strong expertise in planning and delivering design-bid-build, design-build, construction management, and public-private partnership (P3) projects. We often utilize our resources and capabilities to self-perform multiple components of our projects, including earthwork, excavation, concrete forming and placement, steel erection, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), and fire protection. During 2025, we performed work on approximately 1,600 construction projects.

We are recognized as one of the leading civil contractors in the United States, as evidenced by our performance on several of the country’s largest mass-transit and transportation projects, such as Newark Liberty International Airport’s AirTrain Replacement project and new Terminal A (“Newark Airport Terminal A”), various components of the East Side Access project, along with the Midtown Bus Terminal Replacement - Phase 1 project, and the Manhattan Tunnel project, all in New York, the Minneapolis Southwest Light Rail project (also known as the METRO Green Line Extension), the California High-Speed Rail System, the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement (the “SR 99”) project in Seattle, major portions of the Red Line and Purple Line subway segments of the Los Angeles Metro system, the San Francisco Central Subway extension to Chinatown, and the City Center Guideway and Stations project in Hawaii. We are also recognized as one of the major building contractors in the United States, as evidenced by our performance on several of the country’s largest building development projects, including Hudson Yards and the new Brooklyn and Manhattan Jail projects in New York City, the CityCenter complex and the Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino, both in Las Vegas, as well as several major technology, healthcare and educational facilities in California for prominent customers.

Our strengths and expertise in the construction of civil and building infrastructure projects have been augmented by our vertical integration capabilities, which we established more than a decade ago through the acquisitions of various business entities specializing in electrical, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC and other services that enhance our market capabilities and expand our geographic presence. Our vertical integration capabilities, which also involve close interactions between our Civil and Building segment resources on large, complex projects, are a competitive advantage that allow us to self-perform a greater amount of work than our competitors. These capabilities also increase our competitiveness in bidding and our efficiency in managing and executing large projects, and provide us with significant cross-selling opportunities across a broad geographic footprint.

Business Segment Overview

Our business is conducted through three segments: Civil, Building and Specialty Contractors.

Civil Segment

Our Civil segment specializes in public works construction and the replacement and reconstruction of infrastructure across several major geographic regions of the United States. Our civil contracting services include construction and rehabilitation of highways, bridges, tunnels, mass-transit systems, military and other government facilities, and water management and wastewater treatment facilities.

The Civil segment is composed of the heavy civil construction operations of Tutor Perini and its subsidiaries, Black Construction, Frontier-Kemper Constructors (“Frontier-Kemper”), Lunda Construction and Becho. Our heavy civil units operate primarily on the West and East Coasts of the United States and are engaged in a variety of large mass-transit, tunneling, bridge and highway projects. Black Construction is the largest contractor in Guam and provides a variety of predominantly heavy civil, building, mechanical and electrical construction services throughout the Asia-Pacific region and in other strategic military locations. Frontier-Kemper is a heavy civil contractor engaged in the construction of tunnels for highways, railroads, subways and rapid transit systems; the construction of shafts and other facilities for water supply, wastewater transport and hydroelectric projects; and the development and equipping of mines with innovative hoisting, elevator and vertical conveyance systems. Lunda Construction is a heavy civil contractor specializing in the construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of bridges, railroads and other civil structures throughout the United States. Becho is engaged in drilling, foundation and excavation support for shoring, bridges, piers, roads and highway projects, primarily in the southwestern United States.

Our Civil segment’s customers primarily award contracts through one of two methods: the traditional public “competitive bid” method, in which price is the major determining factor, or through a best value proposal, where contracts are awarded based on a combination of technical qualifications, proposed project team, schedule, past performance on similar projects and price.

Traditionally, our Civil segment’s customers require each contractor to pre-qualify for construction business by meeting criteria that include technical capabilities and financial strength. Our financial strength, outstanding record of performance on challenging civil works projects, and vertical integration capabilities often enable us to pre-qualify for projects in situations where smaller, less diversified contractors are unable to meet the qualification requirements. We believe this is a competitive advantage that allows us to self-perform a greater amount of work and makes us an ideal lead contractor for the largest, most complex infrastructure projects and on prestigious design-build, design-build-operate-maintain and public-private partnership projects.

We have been active in civil construction since 1894 and believe we have a particular expertise in large, complex civil construction projects. We are currently working on or have completed some of the most significant civil construction projects in the United States. For example, we are working on the first phase of the California High-Speed Rail project, the Purple Line Segments 2 and 3 subway expansion projects in Los Angeles, the Minneapolis Southwest Light Rail project, the City Center Guideway and Stations project in Honolulu, and the Midtown Bus Terminal Replacement, the Newark AirTrain Replacement, and the Kensico-Eastview Connection Tunnel projects, all in New York. In addition, we have completed other major projects, including various components of the East Side Access project in New York City; the Newark Airport Terminal A project; the San Francisco Central Subway extension to Chinatown; the SR 99 project in Seattle; the platform over the eastern rail yard at Hudson Yards in New York City; the rehabilitation of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in New York City; and runway reconstruction projects at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, Los Angeles International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

We believe the Civil segment provides us with significant opportunities for growth due to the condition of existing infrastructure coupled with large government funding sources dedicated to the replacement and reconstruction of aging U.S. infrastructure. In addition, infrastructure programs generally garner popular, bipartisan support from the public and elected officials due to their lasting economic benefits, including significant job creation. Funding for major Civil segment infrastructure projects is typically provided through a combination of one or more of the following: local, regional, state and federal loans and grants; other direct allocations sourced through tax revenue; bonds; user fees; and, for certain projects, private capital.

The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law”) was enacted into law in November 2021 and provided for $1.2 trillion of federal infrastructure funding, including $550 billion in new spending for improvements to the country’s surface-transportation network and enhancements to core infrastructure. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law initiated the largest federal investment in public transit ever, the single largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system and the largest federal investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak, all in addition to providing for regular annual spending for numerous infrastructure projects. This significant incremental funding is anticipated to be spent over the 10 years from its enactment through 2031, and much of it is allocated for investment in end markets that are directly aligned with our market focus. Accordingly, we believe that this significant funding has benefited, and will continue to favorably impact, our current work and prospective opportunities over the next decade. While the current funding window for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law closes on September 30, 2026, we believe that Congress recognizes the long-term nature of infrastructure work and is already engaged in the legislative process to secure future funding beyond that date, although any amount and composition of such future funding is yet to be determined. In addition, various existing projects and future project opportunities in Guam and the Indo-Pacific region are being funded by the U.S. government’s Pacific Deterrence Initiative, which provides substantial multi-year funding to support significant improvements that enhance the U.S. military’s infrastructure and readiness.

Building Segment

Our Building segment has significant experience providing services to several specialized building markets for private and public works customers, including hospitality and gaming, transportation, healthcare, commercial offices, government facilities, sports and entertainment, education, correctional and detention facilities, biotech, pharmaceutical, industrial and technology. We believe the success of the Building segment results from our proven ability to manage and perform large, complex projects with aggressive fast-track schedules, elaborate designs, and advanced mechanical, electrical and life safety systems, while providing accurate budgeting and strict quality control. We believe our strong reputation, long-standing customer relationships, competitive pricing and significant level of repeat and referral business have enabled us to achieve a leading position in the marketplace.

We are a recognized leader in the hospitality and gaming market, specializing in the construction of high-end resorts and casinos. We work with hotel operators, Native American tribal councils, developers and architectural firms to provide diversified construction services to meet the challenges of new construction and renovation of hotel and resort properties. We believe that our reputation for completing projects on time is a significant competitive advantage in this market, as any delay in project completion could result in significant loss of revenue for the customer.

The Building segment is composed of several operating units that provide general contracting, design-build, preconstruction and construction services in various regions of the United States. Rudolph and Sletten, one of our general contracting firms, focuses on large, complex projects in California in the healthcare, commercial office, technology, industrial, education, and government facilities markets. Tutor Perini Building Corp. focuses on large, complex building projects nationwide, including significant projects in the hospitality and gaming, commercial office, education, government facilities, and multi-unit residential markets. Roy Anderson Corp. provides general contracting services, including major disaster response and reconstruction support, to public and private customers primarily throughout the southeastern United States. Perini Management Services provides diversified construction and design-build services internationally to U.S. government agencies, as well as to surety companies and multi-national corporations.

We are currently working on or have completed various large private and public building projects across a wide array of end markets. Specific projects include the Brooklyn and Manhattan Jail projects in New York City; Newark Airport Terminal A; the LAX/Metro Transit Center Station in Los Angeles, California; three large corporate office buildings in northern California for prominent technology companies; a commercial office tower and a multi-unit residential tower, both at Hudson Yards in New York City; the Cedars-Sinai Replacement Hospital in Marina Del Rey, California; the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in Oakland, California; various Kaiser Permanente hospital buildings throughout California; the Choctaw Casino and Resort in Durant, Oklahoma; the Pechanga Resort and Casino expansion in Temecula, California; and courthouses in San Bernardino and San Diego, California, and in Miami, Florida. As a result of our reputation and track record, we were previously awarded and completed contracts for several marquee hospitality and gaming projects in Las Vegas, including the CityCenter complex, the Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino and the Wynn Encore Hotel. These projects span a wide array of building end markets and illustrate our Building segment’s résumé of successfully completed large-scale public and private projects.

Specialty Contractors Segment

Our Specialty Contractors segment specializes in electrical, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC and fire protection systems for a full range of civil and building construction projects in the industrial, commercial, hospitality and gaming, and mass-transit end markets. This segment provides unique strengths and vertically integrated service capabilities that position us as a full-service contractor with greater control over project bids and costs, scheduled work, project delivery and risk management. A significant portion of the segment's work has been, and is expected to continue to be, performed for our Civil and Building segments, although the segment also continues to contract directly with state and local municipal agencies, real estate developers, school districts and other commercial and industrial customers.

The Specialty Contractors segment is composed of several operating units that provide unique services in various regions of the United States. Five Star Electric (“Five Star”) is an industry leader and one of the largest electrical contractors in the greater New York City metropolitan region. Five Star provides construction services, including power, lighting, fire alarm, security, telecommunications, low voltage and wireless systems to both the public and private sectors. These services are provided across end markets that include multi-unit residential, hotels, commercial offices, industrial, mass-transit, education, retail, sports and entertainment, healthcare and water treatment. Fisk Electric (“Fisk”) covers many of the major commercial, transportation and industrial electrical construction markets in the southwestern and southern United States, with the ability to cover other attractive markets nationwide. Fisk’s expertise is in the design and development of electrical and technology systems for major projects spanning a broad variety of project types, including commercial office buildings, sports arenas, hospitals, research laboratories, hotels and casinos, convention centers, manufacturing plants, refineries, and water and wastewater treatment facilities. WDF, Nagelbush and Desert Mechanical each provide mechanical, plumbing, HVAC and fire protection services to a range of customers in a wide variety of markets, including transportation, commercial offices, industrial, education and residential. WDF is one of the largest mechanical contractors serving the greater New York City metropolitan region. Nagelbush operates primarily in Florida and Desert Mechanical operates primarily in the western United States.

Our Specialty Contractors business units are currently working on or have completed various components of the East Side Access project in New York City, upgrades and rehabilitations at various New York City public housing facilities, and various projects at the World Trade Center and at Hudson Yards in New York City. The Specialty Contractors segment is also currently supporting or has supported several large projects in our Civil and Building segments, including the Brooklyn and Manhattan Jail projects in New York City; the Purple Line Segments 2 and 3 subway expansion projects in Los Angeles; Newark Airport Terminal A; the California High Speed Rail project in central California; the SR 99 project in Seattle; the San Francisco Central Subway extension to Chinatown; McCarran International Airport Terminal 3 in Las Vegas; and several marquee hospitality and gaming projects in Las Vegas, including the CityCenter complex, the Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino, and the Wynn Encore Hotel.

For information regarding the breakdown of our revenue by segment, end market, customer type and contract type, see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, financial information about geographic areas is discussed in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Backlog

Backlog in our industry is a measure of the total value of work that is remaining to be performed on projects that have been awarded. We include a construction project in our backlog when a contract is awarded or when we have otherwise received written definitive notice that the project has been awarded to us and there are no remaining major uncertainties that the project will proceed (e.g., adequate funding is in place). As a result, we believe our backlog is firm, and although cancellations or scope adjustments may occur, historically they have not been material. We estimate that approximately $6 billion, or approximately 29%, of our backlog as of December 31, 2025 will be recognized as revenue in 2026. Our backlog by segment, end market, customer type and contract type is presented in the following tables:

Fixed price contracts, particularly with federal, state and local government customers, are expected to continue to represent a sizable percentage of total backlog.

Competition

While the construction markets include numerous competitors, especially for small to mid-sized projects, much of the work that we target is for larger, more complex projects where there are typically fewer active market participants due to the greater capabilities and resources required to perform the work. We believe that our experience, reputation, responsiveness, customer relationships, project completion track record, schedule control, risk management, safety and quality of work are key factors customers consider when awarding contracts.

We have seen diminished competition in recent years for large, fixed-price civil infrastructure projects as fewer firms have been pursuing such projects and customers have at times had to make concerted efforts to attract bidders. In our Civil segment, we primarily compete with large civil construction firms, including (alphabetically) FlatironDragados USA; Kiewit Corporation; Lane Construction Corporation; OHL USA; Skanska USA; and The Walsh Group. In our Building segment, we compete with a variety of national and regional contractors, including (alphabetically) AECOM (through its past acquisitions of Tishman Construction and Hunt Construction Group); Balfour Beatty Construction; Clark Construction Group; DPR Construction; Gilbane, Inc.; Hensel Phelps Construction Co.; McCarthy Building Companies, Inc.; M. A. Mortenson Company; PCL Constructors, Inc.; Skanska USA; Suffolk Construction; Swinerton, Inc; Turner Construction Company; and The Whiting-Turner Contracting Co. In our Specialty Contractors segment, we compete principally with various regional and local electrical, mechanical and plumbing subcontractors.

Construction Costs

We strive to eliminate or minimize exposure to labor and material price increases in our project bids and the manner in which we execute our work. Generally, if prices for materials, labor or equipment increase excessively, provisions in certain types of contracts often shift all or a major portion of any adverse impact to the customer. In our fixed price contracts, we attempt to insulate ourselves from the unfavorable effects of inflation, when possible, by incorporating escalating wage and price assumptions into our construction cost estimates, by obtaining firm fixed price quotes from major subcontractors and material suppliers, by securing purchase commitments for materials early in the project schedule and by including contingency for these risks in our bid price. Construction and other materials used in our construction activities are generally available locally from multiple sources. Labor resources for our domestic projects are largely obtained through various labor unions. We have not experienced significant labor shortages in recent years, nor do we expect to in the near future.

Seasonality

We experience seasonal trends in our business. Our revenue and operating income are typically higher in the second half of the year. Our first fiscal quarter of the year is typically our lowest revenue quarter, as the harsher winter weather conditions that often occur during this period can negatively impact our ability to execute work and our productivity in parts of North America. Our revenue typically increases during the high construction seasons of the summer and fall months in the United States. Within the United States, as well as in other parts of the world, our business generally benefits from milder weather conditions during our third fiscal quarter, which allows for more productivity from our on-site construction operations. For these reasons, it is not unusual for us to experience seasonal changes or fluctuations in our quarterly operating results.

Government Contracts

Most of our federal, state and local government customers can terminate, renegotiate, or modify any of their contracts with us at their election, and many of our federal government contracts are subject to renewal or extension periodically. Revenue derived from federal, state and local government customers as a percentage of our total revenue was 75% in 2025, 72% in 2024 and 74% in 2023.

Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations

Environmental, health and safety regulations and requirements materially affect our business. We are firmly committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for our employees and to working in a manner that ensures the safety of our employees, subcontractors, customers and the general public, as well as the protection of facilities, equipment and the environment. Compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and other health and safety regulations, in particular, is essential to procure business and to attract and retain our workforce. Accordingly, we make considerable investments in our environmental, health and safety programs, and we factor costs associated with compliance into our project bids and proposals.

We provide construction and construction management services at various project sites, and sometimes perform work in and around sensitive environmental areas, such as rivers, lakes and wetlands. We also handle hazardous materials on occasion. Significant fines, penalties and other sanctions may be imposed for non-compliance with environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, and some laws provide for joint and several strict liabilities for remediation of releases of hazardous substances.

Contaminants have been detected at some of the sites that we own and where we have worked as a contractor in the past, and we have incurred costs for the investigation and remediation of hazardous substances. However, we do not own the job sites upon which we perform our work. We have pollution liability insurance coverage for such matters, and if applicable, we seek indemnification from customers to cover the risks associated with environmental remediation.

Insurance and Bonding

As a normal part of the construction business, we are often contractually required to maintain various insurance coverages, including for our projects. Our wholly owned subsidiary, PCR Insurance Company, issues policies for default insurance for our subcontractors, automobile liability, general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, allowing us to centralize our claims and risk management functions to reduce our insurance-related costs. In addition, for certain larger projects, we typically procure project-specific insurance policies. Separately, property and equipment, including those of our joint ventures, are covered by insurance in amounts that we believe are consistent with our risk of loss and industry practice.

We are also often contractually required to provide various types of surety bonds as an additional level of security for our performance. In addition, we require many of our subcontractors to provide surety bonds as security for payment of subcontractors and suppliers and to guarantee their performance. As an alternative to traditional surety bonds, we also have purchased subcontractor default insurance for certain construction projects to insure against the risk of subcontractor default.

Human Capital Resources

The foundation of our continuing success as a leading construction services business is our ability to attract and retain the industry’s best talent by providing a culture of opportunity, development, accountability and empowerment, and by treating people with respect, dignity and fairness. This understanding guides our approach to managing our human capital resources.

Employees. Our principal asset is our employees, many of whom have technical and professional backgrounds and undergraduate and/or advanced degrees. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 7,400 employees (including union employees), of which approximately 2,000 were salaried and 5,400 were hourly employees. The number of employees at any given time depends on the volume and types of active projects in progress, as well as our position within the lifecycle of those projects. We believe that we have strong relationships with our employees and that the quality and level of service that our employees deliver to our customers are among the highest in our industry.

Union Workforce. We are signatory to numerous local and regional collective bargaining agreements, both directly and through trade associations, as a union contractor. These agreements cover all necessary union crafts and are subject to various renewal dates. As of December 31, 2025, our workforce included a total of approximately 4,000 union employees. Estimated amounts for wage escalation related to the expiration of union contracts are included in our bids on various projects; accordingly, the expiration of any union contract in the next year is not expected to have any material impact on us. During the past several years, we have not experienced any significant work stoppages caused by our union employees.

Talent Recruitment, Training and Retention. Our business relies upon an adequate supply of management, supervisory and field personnel. Recruiting, training and retaining key personnel have been and will remain primary goals of our human capital initiatives. Through the use of management information systems, on-the-job training and educational seminars, employees are trained to understand the importance of project execution. We place a strong emphasis on training employees in accurate and comprehensive project estimating, project management and project cost control. As is common in our industry, we experience some recurring employee turnover each year, which we believe is comparable to the industry average. Historically, we have successfully attracted and retained sufficient numbers of personnel, including union personnel, to support our operational needs. We strive to ensure a fully competent project management team that includes long-term successors to our current project leaders by investing significant resources to build strong and highly competent project managers. We regularly hire construction management and engineering staff, including interns and recent graduates, and provide them with engaging projects and development programs. On the occasion when we have a need for senior project executives, the broad professional network of our leadership team often provides strong candidates to fill those needs. We also utilize internal and external recruiting specialists to help fill our open job positions. To support retention and motivation of our top talent, we provide competitive compensation, which may include performance incentives.

Workplace Safety. We place a strong emphasis on the safety of our employees, our customers and the public. Accordingly, we conduct extensive safety training programs that have allowed us to maintain a high safety level at our worksites. All newly hired employees that will be working at project job sites undergo an initial safety orientation, and for certain types of projects or processes we conduct specific hazard training programs. Our project supervisors regularly conduct on-site safety meetings, and our safety managers make random site safety inspections and perform daily assessments. In addition, operational employees are required to complete an OSHA 30-hour training program and project-specific courses on various safety topics. Moreover, we promote a culture of safety by encouraging employees to recognize, immediately correct and report all unsafe conditions. To underscore the importance of safety, a portion of annual performance bonus compensation for certain executive management is directly linked to the achievement of a key safety metric. Our strong overall safety performance also helps to reduce our insurance-related costs.
