Due to the nature of our business, we are involved in routine litigation or subject to other disputes or claims related to our business activities, including, among other things, (i) workers’ compensation claims, (ii) employment-related disputes and (iii) liability issues or breach of contract or tortious conduct claims in connection with the performance of services and provision of materials. We and our affiliates are also subject to government inquiries in the ordinary course of business seeking information concerning our compliance with government construction contracting requirements and various laws and regulations, the outcome of which cannot be predicted with certainty. In the opinion of our management, after consultation with legal counsel, none of the pending inquiries, litigation, disputes or claims against us, if decided adversely to us, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. Except as described below, there have been no changes to the proceedings previously disclosed in our 2025 Form 10-K.
As previously disclosed, Wiregrass Construction Company, Inc. (“Wiregrass”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) in October 2025 to settle allegations by the EPA that Wiregrass violated the Clean Water Act in connection with sediment discharges from two quarries in eastern Alabama into nearby waterways. On July 14, 2026, the EPA and Alabama Department of Environmental Management filed suit in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Alabama seeking judicial approval of the consent decree. Subject to approval by the court, Wiregrass has agreed to (i) pay a civil penalty of $450,000, (ii) remediate the conditions on the property giving rise to the discharge and (iii) monitor the sites for a period of time following completion of the remediation. The total cost of the remedial and preventative measures cannot be estimated with reasonable certainty but is expected to be covered in whole or significant part by the Company’s preexisting insurance policies.
