2024 Acquisitions
On October 1, 2024, we acquired substantially all of the construction materials business of Stavola Holding Corporation and its affiliated entities ("Stavola") for $1.2 billion in cash, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. The purchase price was funded with a combination of proceeds from a private offering of $600.0 million of 6.875% senior unsecured notes that closed on August 26, 2024 and $700.0 million in borrowings under a variable-rate secured term loan entered into on October 1, 2024. See Note 7. "Debt" for additional information. Stavola, which is included in our Construction Products segment, is an aggregates-led and vertically integrated construction materials company primarily serving the New York-New Jersey Metropolitan Statistical Area ("MSA") through its network of five hard rock natural aggregates quarries, twelve asphalt plants, and three recycled aggregates sites. The Stavola acquisition expanded our platform into the nation’s largest MSA with industry-leading financial attributes. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received $17.6 million from escrow related to purchase price adjustments in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement for the Stavola acquisition, which reduced the total purchase price consideration.
The Stavola acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities ("Level 3" inputs). The following table details the final purchase price allocation:

Total net assets acquired$1,192.0 
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the valuation of the net assets acquired. The acquired goodwill, which has been assigned to the Construction Products segment, is tax-deductible and primarily attributable to Stavola's market position and existing workforce. The acquired intangibles include beneficial use rights, recycling permits, and the Stavola trade name, which have a useful life of 34 years, 20 years, and 5 years, respectively.
Revenues and operating profit included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations from the date of the Stavola acquisition were approximately $78.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Non-recurring transaction costs included during the year ended December 31, 2024 were $25.5 million. The costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Additionally, the Company incurred $6.2 million of debt issuance costs during the year ended December 31, 2024 for commitments on a bridge loan facility that was not drawn upon and terminated upon placement of the long term financing to fund the Stavola acquisition. This non-recurring cost is included in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The following table represents the unaudited pro-forma consolidated operating results of the Company as if the Stavola acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2023 and includes adjustments to:
Include additional depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense related to the fair value of acquired property, plant, and equipment, mineral reserves, and intangible assets.
Include the impact to cost of sales from the sell-through of inventory that was stepped up in value.
Exclude transaction costs of $25.5 million from the year ended December 31, 2024 and reflect such expenses in the year ended December 31, 2023.
Include additional interest expense related to debt financing transactions.
The unaudited pro-forma information should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2023, nor is such unaudited pro-forma information necessarily indicative of future results.

The acquisition was funded with $60.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using Level 3 inputs. The final valuation resulted in the recognition of, among others, $13.3 million of property, plant, and equipment, $19.1 million of mineral reserves, $11.5 million of permits, and $15.6 million of goodwill in our Construction Products segment.
In October 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Florida based recycled aggregates business and a Phoenix, Arizona based recycled aggregates business, both of which are included in our Construction Products segment.

Divestitures
There were no divestitures completed during the year ended December 31, 2025.
In August 2024, the Company completed the divestiture of its steel components business. The steel components business, previously reported in the Transportation Products segment, was a leading supplier of railcar coupling devices, railcar axles, and circular forgings. The total consideration for the divestiture was $110.0 million consisting of $55.0 million in cash, a $25.0 million seller's note and a $30.0 million earnout, for which the estimated fair value as of December 31, 2025 was $2.2 million. See Note 3. "Fair Value Accounting". During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a loss of $14.7 million, primarily due to a change in the estimated fair value of the earnout and certain long-term liabilities, which is presented within other operating income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a loss of $21.6 million on the sale of the business, which is presented within other operating income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Revenues and operating profit (loss) of the steel components business were $87.8 million and $(19.5) million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024, and $153.3 million and $11.0 million, respectively, for the year end December 31, 2023. As the steel components business was not core to Arcosa's long-term strategy, its divestiture was not considered a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company's operations or financial results either from a quantitative or qualitative perspective. As such, it is not reported as a discontinued operation.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we completed the divestiture of certain assets and liabilities of a single-location asphalt and paving operation in our Construction Products segment and the sale of a non-operating facility in our Engineered Structures segment. The total consideration for these divestitures was $27.3 million. The Company recognized a net pre-tax gain of $12.5 million which is reflected in other operating income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
There were no divestitures completed during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Divestitures - Subsequent Event
On February 24, 2026, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to sell its barge business to an affiliate of Wynnchurch Capital, L.P., for a cash purchase price of approximately $450 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The barge business is a leading manufacturer of inland barges, fiberglass barge covers, winches, and marine hardware with operations located along the U.S. inland river systems. Reported within the Transportation Products segment, revenues and operating profit of the barge business were $383.3 million and $60.8 million, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2025, and $329.8 million and $49.7 million, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2024. The divestiture is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026 and is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to generate a pre-tax gain and the Company intends to use the after-tax proceeds to further invest in the expansion of its core growth platforms and reduce outstanding debt.
Other
In June 2023, the Company settled a $15.0 million holdback obligation from the 2021 acquisition of Southwest Rock upon the extension of a certain mineral reserve lease. Based on final negotiations with the seller, the holdback obligation was settled for $10.0 million and paid in June 2023. The $5.0 million difference between the settlement amount and the amount accrued at the time of acquisition was recorded as a reduction in cost of revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
