Executive Overview

Operating Results

Consolidated revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.6 billion and $3.0 billion, up 19.2% and 15.5% respectively, compared to $1.4 billion and $2.6 billion for the same periods in 2025. The Company's revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was the highest of any quarter ever, and revenue for the first six months of 2026 also set a new record for the first half of any year. The Civil segment's revenue also set records for these same periods. The Company experienced strong growth across all three segments in the second quarter and through the first six months of 2026 compared to the same periods last year, primarily driven by increased project execution activities on certain newer, larger and higher-margin projects that have significant scope of work remaining. These projects are in the early stages and are expected to ramp up substantially over the next few years.

Income from construction operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was a record $117.7 million, up 54.0% compared to $76.4 million for the same period in 2025, and the highest result of any quarter ever. The substantial increase was primarily driven by contributions associated with the increased project execution activities discussed above, as well as a significant decrease of $27.5 million in share-based compensation expense compared to the same period of 2025. The decrease in share-based compensation expense was primarily due to the absence of certain liability-classified awards that vested at the end of 2025.

Income from construction operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was a record $176.9 million, up 24.8% compared to $141.8 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by contributions associated with the increased project execution activities discussed above.

Income tax expense was $30.8 million and $47.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $22.0 million and $34.9 million for the same periods in 2025. See Corporate, Tax and Other Matters below for a discussion of the change in the effective tax rate.

Diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.23 and $1.71, respectively, compared to $0.38 and $0.90 for the same periods in 2025. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes share-based compensation expense (and the associated tax benefit), for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was $1.74 and $2.77, respectively, compared to $1.41 and $2.06 for the same periods in 2025. The strong increase in diluted earnings per common share for both periods was primarily due to the factors discussed above that resulted in the change in income from construction operations. The strong increase in adjusted diluted earnings per common share reflects the same factors discussed above, excluding the impact of share-based compensation expense. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for further information and a reconciliation of the Company's financial results reported under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) to the reported adjusted results.

As discussed further in Liquidity and Capital Resources below, as of July 2, 2026, the Company completed the refinancing of its senior notes and entered into an amendment and restatement of its existing revolving credit facility, which, among other things, extended debt maturities, is expected to significantly reduce future interest expense, more than doubles the size of its available revolving credit facility and provides for meaningfully improved terms.

Consolidated new awards for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $1.7 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively, compared to $3.1 billion and $5.0 billion for the same periods in 2025. The decrease was merely due to the timing of project awards, as the Company continues to see strong customer demand and a robust pipeline of bidding opportunities across its end markets. The Civil segment was the primary contributor to the new awards activity in the second quarter of 2026. The most significant new awards and contract adjustments in the second quarter of 2026 included a $652 million military facilities project in Guam; two military facility projects in Alaska collectively valued at $143 million; $130 million of additional funding for a healthcare facility project in Texas; a $114 million education facility project in Mississippi; and a $106 million bridge project in Minnesota. The Company has been successful in winning its share of major new project opportunities over the past several years due to a combination of its strategic bidding approach and favorable market dynamics, including limited competition in select markets for some of the larger projects. This environment, which is supported by strong public funding and dem

Comparison of 2024 to 2023 Results

For a discussion comparing our 2024 results to our 2023 results, refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.

Executive Overview

Operating Results

Consolidated revenue for 2025 was $5.5 billion, up 28% compared to $4.3 billion for 2024. The Company experienced strong growth in all three segments in 2025, primarily driven by increased project execution activities on certain newer, larger and higher-margin projects, all of which have significant scope of work remaining. These projects are in the early stages and are expected to ramp up substantially over the next several years.

Income from construction operations for 2025 was $232.0 million, a dramatic improvement compared to a loss from construction operations of $103.8 million for 2024. The increase in income from construction operations in 2025 was primarily due to contributions related to an overall net increase in project execution activities that totaled $172.1 million and a lower amount of net unfavorable adjustments in 2025 driven by changes in the estimate at completion for various projects, including: 1) impacts from improved productivity and efficiencies on certain projects, net of project charges, which had an aggregate net favorable impact of $104.3 million in 2025 compared to a net unfavorable impact of $36.4 million in 2024; 2) certain legal judgments or decisions that had net unfavorable impacts totaling $32.5 million in 2025 compared to $167.7 million in 2024; and 3) temporary aggregate negative project adjustments of $78.7 million in 2025 compared to $97.2 million in 2024 due to both the successful negotiation of significant lower margin (and lower risk) change orders and increases in unapproved work on various projects, the temporary impacts to earnings of which are expected to reverse themselves over the remaining lives of the projects. The improvement was partially offset by the impact of various settlements that had a net unfavorable impact of $61.8 million in 2025 compared to $45.8 million in 2024. The significant adjustments in 2025 and 2024 resulting from the above items are discussed in more detail in Results of Segment Operations.

Furthermore, income from construction operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 was negatively impacted by share-based compensation expense of $150.0 million compared to share-based compensation expense of $40.4 million in 2024. The increase in share-based compensation expense in 2025 was primarily due to a substantial increase of 176.9% in the Company’s stock price during 2025, which impacted the fair value of liability-classified awards. These liability-classified awards are remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change recognized in earnings. These types of awards were issued in past years as a short-term solution to deal with a depleted share pool under the Tutor Perini Corporation Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and a low stock price. The Company currently projects a decrease in share-based compensation expense in 2026 and a much more significant decrease in 2027 as certain such awards have vested and most of the remaining liability-classified awards will vest by the end of 2026. After the Company’s shareholders approved additional shares under the Plan in May 2025, the Company stopped issuing liability-classified, long-term incentive compensation awards, which will help to reduce future earnings volatility.

The effective income tax rate for 2025 was 30.0% compared to 29.3% for 2024. See Corporate, Tax and Other Matters below for a discussion of the change in the effective tax rate.

Diluted earnings per common share for 2025 was $1.51 compared to diluted loss per common share of $3.13 for 2024. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes share-based compensation expense (and the associated tax benefit) for 2025 was $4.29, compared to an adjusted diluted loss per common share of $2.37 for 2024. The improvement for 2025 was primarily due to the factors discussed above that resulted in the change in income (loss) from construction operations for such period. Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below for further information and a reconciliation of the Company's financial results reported under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) to the reported adjusted results.

The Company generated record cash flow from operations of $748.1 million in 2025 largely driven by collections from newer and ongoing projects and, to a much lesser extent, from collections related to recent dispute resolutions. The Company utilized some of its cash flow from operations in 2025 to voluntarily prepay its outstanding Term Loan B debt of $121.9 million.

Consolidated new awards in 2025 were $7.4 billion compared to $12.8 billion in 2024. The Civil and Building segments were the primary contributors to the new awards activity in 2025. Significant new awards and contract adjustments in 2025 included the $1.87 billion Midtown Bus Terminal Replacement - Phase 1 project in New York; the $1.18 billion Manhattan Tunnel project in New York; a healthcare facility project in California valued at approximately $1 billion; a $538 million healthcare project in California; $241 million of additional funding for the Apra Harbor Waterfront Repairs project in Guam; a $182 million military defense project in Guam; a $155 million education facility project in California; $131 million of additional funding for an electrical project in Texas; and another electrical project in Texas valued at more than $100 million. The Company has continued to be successful in winning its share of major new project opportunities due to a combination of its strategic bidding approach and favorable market dynamics, including limited competition in select markets for some of the larger projects. This environment, which is supported by strong public funding and demand, has allowed the Company to differentiate itself and deliver compelling proposals that align with the customer’s goals and expectations. The Company expects that this environment will continue for the foreseeable future.

Consolidated backlog as of December 31, 2025 was $20.6 billion, up 10% compared to $18.7 billion as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the mix of backlog by segment was 49% for Civil, 36% for Building and 15% for Specialty Contractors, compared to 47% for Civil, 38% for Building and 15% for Specialty Contractors at the end of 2024.

Most projects in the Civil segment’s backlog typically convert to revenue over a period of three to five years and in the Building and Specialty Contractors segments over a period of one to three years. Certain larger projects across all three segments may extend over a longer duration. We estimate that approximately $6 billion, or approximately 29%, of our backlog as of December 31, 2025 will be recognized as revenue in 2026.

The following table presents the changes in backlog in 2025:

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

(a)New awards consist of the original contract price of projects added to our backlog plus or minus subsequent changes to the estimated total contract price of existing contracts.

(b)Backlog may differ from the transaction prices allocated to the remaining performance obligations as disclosed in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Such differences relate to the timing of executing a formal contract or receiving a notice to proceed. More specifically, backlog may include awards for which a contract has not yet been executed or a notice to proceed has not yet been issued, but for which there are no remaining major uncertainties that we will proceed with our work on the project (e.g., adequate funding is in place, we have received a notice of intent to award a contract, etc.).

With respect to potential concerns regarding the U.S. government’s scrutiny and curtailment of federal funding for certain projects, as well as concerns about recent federal government shutdowns and varying new tariff policies that have been and may continue to be implemented, the Company does not currently anticipate any significant impacts to its business related to these factors. Most of the Company’s major projects are funded at the state or local level, or with some combination of federal, state and local funding. For projects that are wholly or partially funded with federal dollars, the funding for those projects has already been committed and/or those projects are strategically important to the United States. Despite this, there have recently been, and there may in the future be, occasions where even previously authorized and committed funding is withheld by the government, which could delay the progress of certain projects or the awards of new projects. The Company does not anticipate any material adverse impacts to its financial results as the result of such temporary project delays.

Specifically related to potential tariff impacts, the Company utilizes a pre-award and post-award strategy. As part of its pre-award strategy, the Company’s detailed estimating process includes consideration of anticipated cost increases over the performance period of the contract, as well as additional contingencies to address other potential incremental costs related to unforeseen risks. Prior to its bid or proposal submission, the Company also works to negotiate favorable contract provisions that provide entitlement for certain compensable events, which may include price escalation and allowances. Once the project is awarded, the Company’s strategy shifts to entering into purchase orders or “buy-outs” of materials, such as steel and concrete, as well as large pieces of equipment at the onset of projects, which mitigate the risk of future equipment and commodity price increases by passing that risk to vendors. Also at that time, the Company enters into fixed-price contracts with its key project subcontractors whereby the risk of unforeseen escalation is transferred to the subcontractors. The Company benefits from its long-term relationships with key suppliers, vendors and subcontractors, which minimize supply chain disruptions that could arise as a result of tariffs. While the
