AMENDMENT TO CREDIT FACILITY </U></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">HOUSTON, TX &#150; April&nbsp;30, 2014 &#150; Sterling Construction Company, Inc. (NasdaqGS: STRL)
(&#147;Sterling&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) today announced certain preliminary financial results for the first quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2014 and an amendment to the Company&#146;s credit facility. The Company plans to issue its complete
first quarter 2014 financial results and file its form 10-Q on Monday, May&nbsp;12, 2014. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><U>First Quarter 2014 Estimated Financial Results Compared
to First Quarter 2013</U></B>: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company estimates that total revenues for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2014 will be between $125 million and $135
million, as compared to total revenues of $111 million for the same period in 2013 and that net operating income for the first quarter of 2014 will be between breakeven and $0.45 million, as compared to a $8.0 million net operating loss for the same
period in 2013. In addition, the Company estimates that its net income per diluted share attributable to Sterling common stockholders for the first quarter of 2014 will be approximately breakeven, as compared to a net loss per diluted share
attributable to Sterling common stockholders of $0.39 for the same period in 2013. The Company benefited from a one-time gain of $1 million related to a revaluation on a receivable that had been written down as uncollectable in the fourth quarter of
2013. As of March&nbsp;31, 2014, the Company had $20.7 million of revolving borrowings outstanding under its credit facility. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><U>Credit Facility
Amendment </U></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On April&nbsp;29, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to its $40 million revolving credit facility. The amendment removes a
requirement that the Company raise $20 million of new equity capital by September&nbsp;30, 2014, in addition to raising $10 million of other liquidity by June&nbsp;30, 2014, provided that it raises $10 million of new equity capital by May&nbsp;30,
2014. Any new equity capital will be used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the credit facility, and will not reduce the Company&#146;s borrowing capacity under the credit facility. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Peter MacKenna, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sterling said, &#147;Our first quarter 2014 preliminary results represent a significant improvement
in our financial performance and are reflective of the numerous actions we have taken over the past several quarters to strengthen our operational effectiveness and our ability to book and efficiently execute higher margin projects. We closed the
first quarter with record backlog of nearly $800 million, up more than 15% from December&nbsp;31, 2013. Additionally, we are pleased that our primary lender agreed to amend our credit facility in a manner that permits us to strengthen our balance
sheet, while limiting dilution to our shareholders.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing financial results are preliminary estimates and have not been finalized. As a
result, the Company&#146;s actual results may differ materially from such estimates due to the completion of the Company&#146;s financial accounting review procedures, final adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time
the financial results for the first quarter of 2014 are finalized. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sterling is a leading heavy civil construction company that specializes in the
building and reconstruction of transportation and water infrastructure projects in Texas, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, California, Hawaii, and other states where there are construction opportunities. Its transportation infrastructure projects include
highways, roads, bridges and light rail, and its water infrastructure projects include water, wastewater and storm drainage systems. </P>
