Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Prior to the Separation, Everus Construction historically operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Centennial and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of MDU Resources and not as a standalone company. For periods prior to the Separation, financial information included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes was prepared on a “carve-out” basis in connection with the Separation and was derived from the consolidated financial statements of MDU Resources as if the Company operated on a standalone basis during the periods presented. However, the pre-Separation financial information included in the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes does not necessarily reflect what the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had it operated as a separate, publicly traded company for those periods presented and may not be indicative of its future performance. The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements and are of a normal recurring nature. All revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of the Company are included in the consolidated financial statements. For periods prior to the Separation, the consolidated financial statements also included expense allocations for certain functions that were provided by MDU Resources and Centennial, including, but not limited to, certain general corporate expenses related to senior management, legal, human resources, finance and accounting, treasury, information technology, internal audit, risk management and other shared services. The amounts allocated were $30.4 million and $27.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and were included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income. These expenses were allocated to the Company on the basis of direct usage where identifiable, with the remainder principally allocated on the basis of percentage of total capital invested or other allocation methodologies that were considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of the services provided to the benefits received. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expenses the Company would have incurred as a standalone company for the periods presented. These costs also may not be indicative of the expenses that the Company will incur in the future or would have incurred if the Company had obtained these services from a third party. Refer to Note 15 – Related-Party Transactions for more information on the transition services agreement between the Company and MDU Resources. Earnings per share (“EPS”) information was retrospectively adjusted for periods prior to the Separation on the consolidated statements of income to reflect the Distribution. Refer to Note 9 – Earnings Per Share for more information on the share counts used in the EPS calculations. Prior to the Separation, the Company historically participated in MDU Resources’ centralized cash management program through Centennial, including its overall financing arrangements. The Company had related-party agreements in place with Centennial for the financing of its capital needs, which were reflected as related-party notes payable on the consolidated balance sheets for periods prior to the Separation. Interest expense in the consolidated statements of income for periods prior to the Separation reflected the allocation of interest on borrowing and funding associated with the related-party agreements. Following the Separation, the Company has implemented its own centralized cash management program and has access to third-party credit facilities to fund day-to-day operations. For additional information related to the Company’s current financing arrangements and related interest expense recognition, refer to Note 7 – Debt and Note 15 – Related-Party Transactions. Cash-settled, related-party transactions between the Company, MDU Resources, Centennial or other MDU Resources subsidiaries for general operating activities; the Company's participation in MDU Resources’ centralized cash management program through Centennial; and intercompany debt, were included in the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the Separation. These related-party transactions were reflected in the consolidated balance sheets prior to the Separation as Due from related-party, Due from related-party - noncurrent, Due to related-party or Related-party notes payable. The aggregate net effect of general related-party operating activities was reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows within operating activities for periods prior to the Separation. The effects of the Company’s participation in MDU Resources’ centralized cash management program and intercompany debt arrangements were reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows within investing and financing activities for periods prior to the Separation. Refer to Note 15 – Related-Party Transactions for additional information on related-party transactions. Prior to the Separation, MDU Resources maintained various benefit and stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level and the Company’s employees participated in these programs. The costs associated with its employees were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the Separation. Following the Separation, the Company has its own employee benefit and stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level that its employees participate in.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as entities that the Company controls through its ownership of a majority voting interest or pursuant to control of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), which is discussed in more detail below. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the businesses comprising the Company have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated transactions for consideration as recognized subsequent events in these consolidated financial statements through February 25, 2026, the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, and determined that no additional events requiring disclosure occurred.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for items such as long-lived assets and goodwill; fair values of acquired assets and liabilities under the acquisition method of accounting; property depreciable lives; tax provisions; revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost measure of progress for contracts; costs on construction contracts; unbilled revenues; expected credit losses; loss contingencies; actuarially determined benefit costs; lease classification; present value of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; and the valuation of stock-based compensation. As additional information becomes available, or actual amounts are determinable, the recorded estimates are revised. Consequently, operating results can be affected by revisions to prior accounting estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company is considered an agent for certain taxes collected from customers. As such, the Company presents revenues net of these taxes at the time of sale to be remitted to governmental authorities, including sales and use taxes. The Company generates most of its revenues from specialty contracting services. The Company provides specialty contracting services to a customer when a contract has been signed by both the customer and a representative of the Company obligating a service to be provided in exchange for the consideration identified in the contract. The nature of the services the Company provides generally includes multiple promised goods and services in a single project to create a distinct bundle of goods and services, which the Company has determined are single performance obligations. The transaction price includes the fixed consideration required pursuant to the original contract price together with any additional consideration, to which the Company expects to be entitled to, associated with executed change orders plus the estimate of variable consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, subject to the following constraint. The nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration. Examples of variable consideration include: liquidated damages; performance bonuses or incentives and penalties; claims; unpriced change orders; and index pricing. The variable amounts usually arise upon achievement of certain performance metrics or change in project scope. The Company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using one of the two prescribed estimation methods, the expected value method or the most likely amount method, depending on which method best predicts the most likely amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to or expects to incur. Assumptions as to the occurrence of future events and the likelihood and amount of variable consideration are made during the contract performance period. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on the assessment of anticipated performance and all information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to management. The Company only includes variable consideration in the estimated transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Changes in circumstances could impact management’s estimates made in determining the value of variable consideration recorded. When determining if the variable consideration is constrained, the Company considers if factors exist that could increase the likelihood or the magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue. The Company updates its estimate of the transaction price each reporting period and the effect of variable consideration on the transaction price is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. Contract revenues related to specialty contracting services are recognized over time using the input method based on the measurement of progress on a project. This is the preferred method of measuring revenues because the costs incurred have been determined to represent the best indication of the overall progress toward the transfer of such goods or services promised to a customer. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the costs incurred are compared with total estimated costs of a performance obligation. Revenues are recorded proportionately to the costs incurred. The Company also sells construction equipment and other supplies to third parties and internal customers. The contract for these sales is the use of a sales order or invoice, which includes the pricing and payment terms. All such contracts include a single performance obligation for the delivery of a single distinct product or a distinct separately identifiable bundle of products and services. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation has been satisfied with the delivery of the products or services. The warranties associated with the sales are those consistent with a standard warranty that the product meets certain specifications for quality or those required by law. For most contracts, amounts billed to customers are due within 30 days of receipt. There are no material obligations for returns, refunds or other similar obligations. In addition, the Company leases certain equipment to third parties. These leases are considered short-term operating leases with terms of less than 12 months, with the majority being month-to-month leases currently. The Company recognizes revenue from operating leases on a straight-line basis over the respective operating lease terms under ASC 842 - Leases. The Company recognizes all other revenues when services are rendered or goods are delivered. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company is considered an agent for certain taxes collected from customers. As such, the Company presents revenues net of these taxes at the time of sale to be remitted to governmental authorities, including sales and use taxes. As part of the adoption of ASC 606, the Company elected the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is 12 months or less. Contract Estimates and Changes in Estimates Changes in cost estimates on certain contracts can arise from, but not limited to, changes in productivity and performance expectations, availability of skilled labor in geographic locations of such projects, costs of labor and/or materials, changes in subcontractor productivity and performance, and extended overhead due to weather or other delays. These changes in estimates may result in the issuance of change orders, which can be approved or unapproved by the customer, or the assertion of contract claims. The Company recognizes amounts associated with change orders and claims as revenue if it is probable that the contract price will be adjusted and the amount of any such adjustment can be reasonably estimated. Change orders and claims are negotiated in the normal course of business and represent management's estimates of additional contract revenues that have been earned and are probable of collection.
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities	Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities The Company holds a minority economic interest in a captive insurance company, which has been determined to be a VIE due to its variable ownership interest in the captive insurance company. The captive insurance is structured with protected cell captives for each insured party (“Captive Cells”) in which participants’ assets and liabilities are held separately from each other and is not exposed to the insurance and investment risks that the Captive Cells are designed to create and distribute on behalf of the insured parties. The Company is the primary beneficiary of its individual Captive Cell and has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of its Captive Cell, as well as the obligation to absorb losses of, and receive benefits from the activities of its Captive Cell. Accordingly, the Company has prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation. ASC 810 requires that if an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the VIE should be included in the consolidated financial statements of such entity. As such, the consolidated financial statements include the consolidation of the Company’s Captive Cell. Cash deposits held by the Captive Cell are considered restricted cash as they are to remain in the Captive Cell.
Joint Ventures	Joint Ventures The Company accounts for unconsolidated joint ventures using either the equity method or proportionate consolidation. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company held interests between 25% and 50% in joint ventures formed primarily for the purpose of pooling resources on construction contracts. Proportionate consolidation is used for joint ventures that include unincorporated legal entities when we hold an undivided interest in each asset and are proportionately liable for the Company’s share of liabilities and the activities of the joint ventures that are construction related. For those joint ventures accounted for under proportionate consolidation, only the Company’s pro rata share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For those joint ventures accounted for using proportionate consolidation, the Company recorded operating revenues of $0.6 million and $7.8 million and operating income of $0.2 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in the consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any remaining interest in assets from these joint ventures. There was no activity during the year ended December 31, 2025 related to joint ventures accounted for using proportionate consolidation. For those joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, the Company’s investment balances for the joint ventures are included in Investments in the consolidated balance sheets and the Company’s pro rata share of net income is included in Income from equity method investments in the consolidated statements of income.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Prior to the Separation, the Company’s operations were historically included in the consolidated federal income tax returns and combined and separate state income tax returns filed by MDU Resources. Pursuant to the tax sharing agreement that existed between MDU Resources and its subsidiaries, federal income taxes paid by MDU Resources, as parent of the consolidated group, were allocated to the individual subsidiaries based on separate company computations of tax. MDU Resources made a similar allocation for state income taxes paid in connection with combined state filings. Following the Separation, Everus and its subsidiaries file consolidated federal income tax returns and combined and separate state income tax returns. Pursuant to the tax sharing agreement that exists between Everus and its subsidiaries, federal income taxes paid by Everus, as parent of the consolidated group, are allocated to the individual subsidiaries based on separate company computations of tax. Everus makes a similar allocation for state income taxes paid in connection with combined state filings. The Company recognizes deferred federal and state income taxes on all temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with accounting guidance on accounting for income taxes on the basis of a two-step process in which (i) the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. Tax positions that do not meet the more-likely-than-not criteria are reflected as a tax liability. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income taxes in the consolidated statements of income.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation Prior to the Separation, eligible employees of the Company participated in MDU Resources’ stock-based compensation plans and the Company recorded compensation expense on awards granted by MDU Resources to those eligible employees. At the time of Separation, all outstanding MDU Resources time-vesting restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards held by Company employees were converted into Everus RSU awards. The converted awards will continue to vest over the original vesting period of three years from the respective grant dates. Refer to Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation for additional information related to the conversion to Everus RSU awards. Following the Separation, stock-based compensation awards are accounted for based on the estimated fair values at the grant date and compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service or vesting period/s. The Company uses the graded vesting method to recognize compensation expense related to time-vesting RSU awards with graded vesting features that are subject only to a service condition. This method recognizes stock compensation expense over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche as though each tranche of the award is, in substance, a separate award, which results in an accelerated recognition of compensation expense. However, the Company uses the straight-line vesting method to recognize compensation expense related to time-vesting RSU awards without graded vesting features that are subject only to a service condition. This method recognizes stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. The Company uses the graded vesting method to recognize compensation expense related to performance share awards (“PSAs”) with graded vesting features that are subject either to a performance or market condition, as well as a service condition. The Company uses the straight-line vesting method to recognize compensation expense related to PSAs without graded vesting features that have a performance condition based on certain predetermined performance measures, as well as a service condition, but recognizes a true up to expense on a cumulative catch-up basis based on the Company’s determination of the expected achievement of each performance measure relative to the performance target at each reporting date. The expected achievement may vary from 0% to 200% of the performance measure target. The Company uses the straight-line amortization method to recognize compensation expense related to PSAs without graded vesting features that have a market condition based on certain predetermined performance measures, as well as a service condition. The expected achievement may vary from 0% to 200% of the performance measure target. The Company implemented a change in accounting policy pertaining to forfeitures and recognizes forfeitures when they occur and the related true up to expense on a cumulative catch-up basis at the time of the forfeitures. Prior to the Separation, the Company applied a forfeiture rate estimate, consistent with MDU Resources’ accounting policy. As a result, the Company adjusted compensation expense following the Separation to account for the change in accounting policy.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash represents deposits held by the Company’s Captive Cell that are to be used solely for Captive Cell’s purposes.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are recorded at average cost, and the cost may decrease due to obsolescence, physical deterioration, damage, costs to repair, changes in price levels or other causes. Inventory valuation write-downs, as well as inventory allowances, are determined based on specific facts and circumstances.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses resulting from the retirement or disposal of assets are recognized as a component of operating income. The Company capitalizes interest, when applicable, on certain property, plant and equipment. There was no interest capitalized in 2025 or 2024. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the average useful lives of the assets.
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually, which the Company completes in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if unforeseen events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company determined that the reporting units for its goodwill impairment test were its operating segments, plus a component of an operating segment, that each constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available and for which management regularly reviews the operating results. As such, the Company’s reporting units are E&M, T&D, and Wagner Smith Equipment (“WSE”). For more information on the Company’s reporting units, refer to Note 5 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill impairment, if any, is measured by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds carrying value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, the Company must record a goodwill impairment loss for the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, there were no goodwill impairment losses recorded. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates which include assumptions about the Company’s future revenue, profitability and cash flows, amount and timing of estimated capital expenditures, inflation rates, risk-adjusted cost of capital, operational plans, and current and future economic conditions, among others. Following the Separation as a standalone company, for 2025 and 2024, the fair value of each reporting unit was determined using an income approach. Prior to the Separation under MDU Resources, for 2023, the fair value of each reporting unit was determined using a weighted combination of income and market approaches. The Company believed that the estimates and assumptions used in its goodwill impairment assessments were reasonable and based on available market information.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Goodwill	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Goodwill The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable. The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment at a lower level than that of goodwill impairment testing. Long-lived assets or groups of assets are evaluated for impairment at the lowest level of independently identifiable cash flows for an individual operation or group of operations collectively serving a local market. The determination of whether a long-lived asset impairment has occurred is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the assets, compared to the carrying value of the assets. If impairment has occurred, the amount of the long-lived asset impairment recognized is determined by estimating the fair value of the assets and recording a loss if the carrying value is greater than the fair value.
Leases	Leases The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception of a contract and accounts for all leases in accordance with ASC 842 - Leases. The recognition of leases requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the lease classification, and the assets and liabilities recorded. The accuracy of lease assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated balance sheets depends on, among other things, management’s estimates of interest rates used to discount the lease assets and liabilities to their present value, as well as the lease terms based on the unique facts and circumstances of each lease. Lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company recognizes leases with an original lease term of 12 months or less in net income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and does not recognize a corresponding right-of-use asset or lease liability. The Company’s lease agreements may contain variable lease payments based on inflation adjustments, property taxes and common area maintenance, all of which are expensed as incurred. The Company determines the lease term based on the non-cancellable and cancellable periods in each contract. The non-cancellable period consists of the term of the contract that is legally enforceable and cannot be cancelled by either party without incurring a significant penalty. The cancellable period is determined by various factors that are based on who has the right to cancel a contract. If only the lessor has the right to cancel the contract, the Company will assume the contract will continue. If the lessee is the only party that has the right to cancel the contract, the Company looks to asset, entity and market-based factors. If both the lessor and the lessee have the right to cancel the contract, the Company assumes the contract will not continue. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the lease liabilities is based upon the implied rate within each contract. If the rate is unknown or cannot be determined, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate, which is determined by the length of the contract, asset class and the Company’s borrowing rates, as of the commencement date of the contract.
Investments	Investments As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s investments, excluding joint venture investments, primarily included corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”) contracts. The Company measures its investments in COLI contracts at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses recorded on the consolidated statements of income. The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure fair value are designed to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Legal Costs	Legal Costs The Company expenses external legal fees as they are incurred.
Advertising	Advertising The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.
New Accounting Standards	New Accounting Standards Changes to GAAP are typically established by the FASB in the form of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to the FASB’s ASC. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which provided guidance on accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statement in order to provide decision useful information to investors and other allocators of capital (collectively investors) in a joint venture’s financial statements and reduce diversity in practice. The new basis of accounting will require that a joint venture, upon formation, will recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with the exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). The standard became effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. However, a joint venture that was formed before January 1, 2025, may elect to apply the guidance retrospectively if it has sufficient information. The Company adopted the standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2025, but it did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provided guidance to address investors’ requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income tax paid information and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The standard became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the standard retrospectively in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. Refer to Note 11 – Income Taxes for the related disclosure-only impacts of adopting this standard. New Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which provided guidance to address investors’ requests for more detailed information about the types of expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion in commonly presented expense captions, such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development costs. The standard will be effective for fiscal year December 31, 2027, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2027, and future interim periods beginning in 2028. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provided guidance to address stakeholders feedback on the challenges of applying Topic 326 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets, specifically related to the costs and complexities of developing reasonable and supportable forecasts to support the estimation of expected credit losses. As a result, this update provides a practical expedient for all entities that allows an entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when developing such forecasts. The standard will be effective for fiscal year December 31, 2026, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2026. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2026 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which provided guidance to address stakeholders feedback for modernizing the accounting for internal-use software costs due to the different methods of software development. This update amended the accounting and disclosure of internal-use software costs and provided entities updated recognition requirements for capitalizing internal-use software development costs, as well as website development costs. The standard will be effective for fiscal year December 31, 2028, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements as well as whether the Company will early-adopt the standard. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which provided clarity on interim reporting disclosure requirements and which disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The standard will be effective for fiscal year December 31, 2028, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impacts the guidance will have on its interim financial statements as well as whether the Company will early-adopt the standard.
Fair Value	The estimated fair value of the Company’s Level 2 COLI contracts was based on contractual cash surrender values that were determined primarily by investments in managed separate accounts of the insurer. These amounts approximated fair value. The managed separate accounts were valued based on other observable inputs or corroborated market data. Though the Company believes the methods used to estimate fair value are consistent with those used by other market participants, the use of other methods or assumptions could result in a different estimate of fair value. The estimated fair values of the Company’s Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, Receivables, Accounts payable and Other accrued liabilities approximated their carrying value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The Company has a captive insurance arrangement in which a Captive Cell within a captive insurance company holds cash, classified as restricted cash, and certain other accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities in order to manage and administer insurance claims on behalf of the Company. The fair values of the assets and liabilities held by the Captive Cell approximated their fair values as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024. Refer to Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information on the Company’s captive insurance arrangement.
Earnings Per Share	Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. The Company calculates diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period, plus the effect of any potentially dilutive securities, except in cases where the effect of such securities would be anti-dilutive.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2025

Prior to the Separation, Everus Construction historically operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Centennial and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of MDU Resources and not as a standalone company. For periods prior to the Separation, financial information included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes was prepared on a “carve-out” basis in connection with the Separation and was derived from the consolidated financial statements of MDU Resources as if the Company operated on a standalone basis during the periods presented. However, the pre-Separation financial information included in the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes does not necessarily reflect what the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had it operated as a separate, publicly traded company for those periods presented and may not be indicative of its future performance.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements and are of a normal recurring nature.

All revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of the Company are included in the consolidated financial statements. For periods prior to the Separation, the consolidated financial statements also included expense allocations for certain functions that were provided by MDU Resources and Centennial, including, but not limited to, certain general corporate expenses related to senior management, legal, human resources, finance and accounting, treasury, information technology, internal audit, risk management and other shared services. The amounts allocated were $30.4 million and $27.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and were included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income. These expenses were allocated to the Company on the basis of direct usage where identifiable, with the remainder principally allocated on the basis of percentage of total capital invested or other allocation methodologies that were considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of the services provided to the benefits received. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expenses the Company would have incurred as a standalone company for the periods presented. These costs also may not be indicative of the expenses that the Company will incur in the future or would have incurred if the Company had obtained these services from a third party. Refer to Note 15 – Related-Party Transactions for more information on the transition services agreement between the Company and MDU Resources.

Earnings per share (“EPS”) information was retrospectively adjusted for periods prior to the Separation on the consolidated statements of income to reflect the Distribution. Refer to Note 9 – Earnings Per Share for more information on the share counts used in the EPS calculations.

Prior to the Separation, the Company historically participated in MDU Resources’ centralized cash management program through Centennial, including its overall financing arrangements. The Company had related-party agreements in place with Centennial for the financing of its capital needs, which were reflected as related-party notes payable on the consolidated balance sheets for periods prior to the Separation. Interest expense in the consolidated statements of income for periods prior to the Separation reflected the allocation of interest on borrowing and funding associated with the related-party agreements. Following the Separation, the Company has implemented its own centralized cash management program and has access to third-party credit facilities to fund day-to-day operations. For additional information related to the Company’s current financing arrangements and related interest expense recognition, refer to Note 7 – Debt and Note 15 – Related-Party Transactions.

Cash-settled, related-party transactions between the Company, MDU Resources, Centennial or other MDU Resources subsidiaries for general operating activities; the Company's participation in MDU Resources’ centralized cash management program through Centennial; and intercompany debt, were included in the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the Separation. These related-party transactions were reflected in the consolidated balance sheets prior to the Separation as Due from related-party, Due from related-party - noncurrent, Due to related-party or Related-party notes payable. The aggregate net effect of general related-party operating activities was reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows within operating activities for periods prior to the Separation. The effects of the Company’s participation in MDU Resources’ centralized cash management program and intercompany debt arrangements were reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows within investing and financing activities for periods prior to the Separation. Refer to Note 15 – Related-Party Transactions for additional information on related-party transactions.

Prior to the Separation, MDU Resources maintained various benefit and stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level and the Company’s employees participated in these programs. The costs associated with its employees were included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the Separation. Following the Separation, the Company has its own employee benefit and stock-based compensation plans at a corporate level that its employees participate in.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, as well as entities that the Company controls through its ownership of a majority voting interest or pursuant to control of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), which is discussed in more detail below. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the businesses comprising the Company have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated transactions for consideration as recognized subsequent events in these consolidated financial statements through February 25, 2026, the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, and determined that no additional events requiring disclosure occurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used for items such as long-lived assets and goodwill; fair values of acquired assets and liabilities under the acquisition method of accounting; property depreciable lives; tax provisions; revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost measure of progress for contracts; costs on construction contracts; unbilled revenues; expected credit losses; loss contingencies; actuarially determined benefit costs; lease classification; present value of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; and the valuation of stock-based compensation. As additional information becomes available, or actual amounts are determinable, the recorded estimates are revised. Consequently, operating results can be affected by revisions to prior accounting estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company is considered an agent for certain taxes collected from customers. As such, the Company presents revenues net of these taxes at the time of sale to be remitted to governmental authorities, including sales and use taxes.

The Company generates most of its revenues from specialty contracting services. The Company provides specialty contracting services to a customer when a contract has been signed by both the customer and a representative of the Company obligating a service to be provided in exchange for the consideration identified in the contract. The nature of the services the Company provides generally includes multiple promised goods and services in a single project to create a distinct bundle of goods and services, which the Company has determined are single performance obligations. The transaction price includes the fixed consideration required pursuant to the original contract price together with any additional consideration, to which the Company expects to be entitled to, associated with executed change orders plus the estimate of variable consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, subject to the following constraint.

The nature of the Company’s contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration. Examples of variable consideration include: liquidated damages; performance bonuses or incentives and penalties; claims; unpriced change orders; and index pricing. The variable amounts usually arise upon achievement of certain performance metrics or change in project scope. The Company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using one of the two prescribed estimation methods, the expected value method or the most likely amount method, depending on which method best predicts the most likely amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to or expects to incur.

Assumptions as to the occurrence of future events and the likelihood and amount of variable consideration are made during the contract performance period. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on the assessment of anticipated performance and all information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to management. The Company only includes variable consideration in the estimated transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

Changes in circumstances could impact management’s estimates made in determining the value of variable consideration recorded. When determining if the variable consideration is constrained, the Company considers if factors exist that could increase the likelihood or the magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue. The Company updates its estimate of the transaction price each reporting period and the effect of variable consideration on the transaction price is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis.

Contract revenues related to specialty contracting services are recognized over time using the input method based on the measurement of progress on a project. This is the preferred method of measuring revenues because the costs incurred have been determined to represent the best indication of the overall progress toward the transfer of such goods or services promised to a customer. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the costs incurred are compared with total estimated costs of a performance obligation. Revenues are recorded proportionately to the costs incurred.

The Company also sells construction equipment and other supplies to third parties and internal customers. The contract for these sales is the use of a sales order or invoice, which includes the pricing and payment terms. All such contracts include a

single performance obligation for the delivery of a single distinct product or a distinct separately identifiable bundle of products and services. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation has been satisfied with the delivery of the products or services. The warranties associated with the sales are those consistent with a standard warranty that the product meets certain specifications for quality or those required by law.

For most contracts, amounts billed to customers are due within 30 days of receipt. There are no material obligations for returns, refunds or other similar obligations.

In addition, the Company leases certain equipment to third parties. These leases are considered short-term operating leases with terms of less than 12 months, with the majority being month-to-month leases currently. The Company recognizes revenue from operating leases on a straight-line basis over the respective operating lease terms under ASC 842 - Leases.

The Company recognizes all other revenues when services are rendered or goods are delivered.

Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company is considered an agent for certain taxes collected from customers. As such, the Company presents revenues net of these taxes at the time of sale to be remitted to governmental authorities, including sales and use taxes.

As part of the adoption of ASC 606, the Company elected the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is 12 months or less.

Contract Estimates and Changes in Estimates

Changes in cost estimates on certain contracts can arise from, but not limited to, changes in productivity and performance expectations, availability of skilled labor in geographic locations of such projects, costs of labor and/or materials, changes in subcontractor productivity and performance, and extended overhead due to weather or other delays. These changes in estimates may result in the issuance of change orders, which can be approved or unapproved by the customer, or the assertion of contract claims. The Company recognizes amounts associated with change orders and claims as revenue if it is probable that the contract price will be adjusted and the amount of any such adjustment can be reasonably estimated. Change orders and claims are negotiated in the normal course of business and represent management's estimates of additional contract revenues that have been earned and are probable of collection.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

The Company holds a minority economic interest in a captive insurance company, which has been determined to be a VIE due to its variable ownership interest in the captive insurance company. The captive insurance is structured with protected cell captives for each insured party (“Captive Cells”) in which participants’ assets and liabilities are held separately from each other and is not exposed to the insurance and investment risks that the Captive Cells are designed to create and distribute on behalf of the insured parties. The Company is the primary beneficiary of its individual Captive Cell and has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of its Captive Cell, as well as the obligation to absorb losses of, and receive benefits from the activities of its Captive Cell. Accordingly, the Company has prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation. ASC 810 requires that if an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the VIE should be included in the consolidated financial statements of such entity. As such, the consolidated financial statements include the consolidation of the Company’s Captive Cell.

Cash deposits held by the Captive Cell are considered restricted cash as they are to remain in the Captive Cell.

Joint Ventures

The Company accounts for unconsolidated joint ventures using either the equity method or proportionate consolidation. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company held interests between 25% and 50% in joint ventures formed primarily for the purpose of pooling resources on construction contracts.

Proportionate consolidation is used for joint ventures that include unincorporated legal entities when we hold an undivided interest in each asset and are proportionately liable for the Company’s share of liabilities and the activities of the joint ventures that are construction related. For those joint ventures accounted for under proportionate consolidation, only the Company’s pro rata share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

For those joint ventures accounted for using proportionate consolidation, the Company recorded operating revenues of $0.6 million and $7.8 million and operating income of $0.2 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in the consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any remaining interest in assets from these joint ventures. There was no activity during the year ended December 31, 2025 related to joint ventures accounted for using proportionate consolidation.

For those joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, the Company’s investment balances for the joint ventures are included in Investments in the consolidated balance sheets and the Company’s pro rata share of net income is included in Income from equity method investments in the consolidated statements of income.

Income Taxes

Prior to the Separation, the Company’s operations were historically included in the consolidated federal income tax returns and combined and separate state income tax returns filed by MDU Resources. Pursuant to the tax sharing agreement that existed between MDU Resources and its subsidiaries, federal income taxes paid by MDU Resources, as parent of the consolidated group, were allocated to the individual subsidiaries based on separate company computations of tax. MDU Resources made a similar allocation for state income taxes paid in connection with combined state filings.

Following the Separation, Everus and its subsidiaries file consolidated federal income tax returns and combined and separate state income tax returns. Pursuant to the tax sharing agreement that exists between Everus and its subsidiaries, federal income taxes paid by Everus, as parent of the consolidated group, are allocated to the individual subsidiaries based on separate company computations of tax. Everus makes a similar allocation for state income taxes paid in connection with combined state filings.

The Company recognizes deferred federal and state income taxes on all temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with accounting guidance on accounting for income taxes on the basis of a two-step process in which (i) the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (ii) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. Tax positions that do not meet the more-likely-than-not criteria are reflected as a tax liability. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income taxes in the consolidated statements of income.

Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to the Separation, eligible employees of the Company participated in MDU Resources’ stock-based compensation plans and the Company recorded compensation expense on awards granted by MDU Resources to those eligible employees.

At the time of Separation, all outstanding MDU Resources time-vesting restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards held by Company employees were converted into Everus RSU awards. The converted awards will continue to vest over the original vesting period of three years from the respective grant dates. Refer to Note 10 – Stock-Based Compensation for additional information related to the conversion to Everus RSU awards.

Following the Separation, stock-based compensation awards are accounted for based on the estimated fair values at the grant date and compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service or vesting period/s.

The Company uses the graded vesting method to recognize compensation expense related to time-vesting RSU awards with graded vesting features that are subject only to a service condition. This method recognizes stock compensation expense over the requisite service period for each separately vesting tranche as though each tranche of the award is, in substance, a separate award, which results in an accelerated recognition of compensation expense.

However, the Company uses the straight-line vesting method to recognize compensation expense related to time-vesting RSU awards without graded vesting features that are subject only to a service condition. This method recognizes stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

The Company uses the graded vesting method to recognize compensation expense related to performance share awards (“PSAs”) with graded vesting features that are subject either to a performance or market condition, as well as a service condition.

The Company uses the straight-line vesting method to recognize compensation expense related to PSAs without graded vesting features that have a performance condition based on certain predetermined performance measures, as well as a service

condition, but recognizes a true up to expense on a cumulative catch-up basis based on the Company’s determination of the expected achievement of each performance measure relative to the performance target at each reporting date. The expected achievement may vary from 0% to 200% of the performance measure target.

The Company uses the straight-line amortization method to recognize compensation expense related to PSAs without graded vesting features that have a market condition based on certain predetermined performance measures, as well as a service condition. The expected achievement may vary from 0% to 200% of the performance measure target.

The Company implemented a change in accounting policy pertaining to forfeitures and recognizes forfeitures when they occur and the related true up to expense on a cumulative catch-up basis at the time of the forfeitures. Prior to the Separation, the Company applied a forfeiture rate estimate, consistent with MDU Resources’ accounting policy. As a result, the Company adjusted compensation expense following the Separation to account for the change in accounting policy.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash represents deposits held by the Company’s Captive Cell that are to be used solely for Captive Cell’s purposes.

Inventories

Inventories are recorded at average cost, and the cost may decrease due to obsolescence, physical deterioration, damage, costs to repair, changes in price levels or other causes. Inventory valuation write-downs, as well as inventory allowances, are determined based on specific facts and circumstances.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Gains or losses resulting from the retirement or disposal of assets are recognized as a component of operating income. The Company capitalizes interest, when applicable, on certain property, plant and equipment. There was no interest capitalized in 2025 or 2024. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the average useful lives of the assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is required to be tested for impairment annually, which the Company completes in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if unforeseen events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired.

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company determined that the reporting units for its goodwill impairment test were its operating segments, plus a component of an operating segment, that each constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available and for which management regularly reviews the

operating results. As such, the Company’s reporting units are E&M, T&D, and Wagner Smith Equipment (“WSE”). For more information on the Company’s reporting units, refer to Note 5 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill impairment, if any, is measured by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds carrying value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, the Company must record a goodwill impairment loss for the amount that the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, there were no goodwill impairment losses recorded.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit requires judgment and the use of significant estimates which include assumptions about the Company’s future revenue, profitability and cash flows, amount and timing of estimated capital expenditures, inflation rates, risk-adjusted cost of capital, operational plans, and current and future economic conditions, among others. Following the Separation as a standalone company, for 2025 and 2024, the fair value of each reporting unit was determined using an income approach. Prior to the Separation under MDU Resources, for 2023, the fair value of each reporting unit was determined using a weighted combination of income and market approaches. The Company believed that the estimates and assumptions used in its goodwill impairment assessments were reasonable and based on available market information.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Goodwill

The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable. The Company tests long-lived assets for impairment at a lower level than that of goodwill impairment testing. Long-lived assets or groups of assets are evaluated for impairment at the lowest level of independently identifiable cash flows for an individual operation or group of operations collectively serving a local market. The determination of whether a long-lived asset impairment has occurred is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the assets, compared to the carrying value of the assets. If impairment has occurred, the amount of the long-lived asset impairment recognized is determined by estimating the fair value of the assets and recording a loss if the carrying value is greater than the fair value.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception of a contract and accounts for all leases in accordance with ASC 842 - Leases. The recognition of leases requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the lease classification, and the assets and liabilities recorded. The accuracy of lease assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated balance sheets depends on, among other things, management’s estimates of interest rates used to discount the lease assets and liabilities to their present value, as well as the lease terms based on the unique facts and circumstances of each lease.

Lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company recognizes leases with an original lease term of 12 months or less in net income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and does not recognize a corresponding right-of-use asset or lease liability. The Company’s lease agreements may contain variable lease payments based on inflation adjustments, property taxes and common area maintenance, all of which are expensed as incurred.

The Company determines the lease term based on the non-cancellable and cancellable periods in each contract. The non-cancellable period consists of the term of the contract that is legally enforceable and cannot be cancelled by either party without incurring a significant penalty. The cancellable period is determined by various factors that are based on who has the right to cancel a contract. If only the lessor has the right to cancel the contract, the Company will assume the contract will continue. If the lessee is the only party that has the right to cancel the contract, the Company looks to asset, entity and market-based factors. If both the lessor and the lessee have the right to cancel the contract, the Company assumes the contract will not continue.

The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the lease liabilities is based upon the implied rate within each contract. If the rate is unknown or cannot be determined, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate, which is determined by the length of the contract, asset class and the Company’s borrowing rates, as of the commencement date of the contract.

Investments

As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s investments, excluding joint venture investments, primarily included corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”) contracts. The Company measures its investments in COLI contracts at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses recorded on the consolidated statements of income. The Company’s valuation techniques used to measure fair value are designed to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Legal Costs

The Company expenses external legal fees as they are incurred.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.

New Accounting Standards

Changes to GAAP are typically established by the FASB in the form of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to the FASB’s ASC. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Updates

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which provided guidance on accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statement in order to provide decision useful information to investors and other allocators of capital (collectively investors) in a joint venture’s financial statements and reduce diversity in practice. The new basis of accounting will require that a joint venture, upon formation, will recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with the exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). The standard became effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. However, a joint venture that was formed before January 1, 2025, may elect to apply the guidance retrospectively if it has sufficient information. The Company adopted the standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2025, but it did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provided guidance to address investors’ requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income tax paid information and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The standard became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the standard retrospectively in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. Refer to Note 11 – Income Taxes for the related disclosure-only impacts of adopting this standard.

New Accounting Standards Updates Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which provided guidance to address investors’ requests for more detailed information about the types of expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion in commonly presented expense captions, such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development costs. The standard will be effective for fiscal year December 31, 2027, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2027, and future interim periods beginning in 2028.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provided guidance to address stakeholders feedback on the challenges of applying Topic 326 to current accounts receivable and current contract assets, specifically related to the costs and complexities of developing reasonable and supportable forecasts to support the estimation of expected credit losses. As a result, this update provides a practical expedient for all entities that allows an entity to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when developing such forecasts. The standard will be effective for fiscal year December 31, 2026, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2026. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2026 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which provided guidance to address stakeholders feedback for modernizing the accounting for internal-use software costs due to the different methods of software development. This update amended the accounting and disclosure of internal-use software costs and provided entities updated recognition requirements for capitalizing internal-use software development costs, as well as website development costs. The standard will be effective for fiscal year December 31, 2028, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements as well as whether the Company will early-adopt the standard.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which provided clarity on interim reporting disclosure requirements and which disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The standard will be effective for fiscal year December 31, 2028, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impacts the guidance will have on its interim financial statements as well as whether the Company will early-adopt the standard.

Fair Value

The estimated fair value of the Company’s Level 2 COLI contracts was based on contractual cash surrender values that were determined primarily by investments in managed separate accounts of the insurer. These amounts approximated fair value. The managed separate accounts were valued based on other observable inputs or corroborated market data.

Though the Company believes the methods used to estimate fair value are consistent with those used by other market participants, the use of other methods or assumptions could result in a different estimate of fair value.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, Receivables, Accounts payable and Other accrued liabilities approximated their carrying value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The Company has a captive insurance arrangement in which a Captive Cell within a captive insurance company holds cash, classified as restricted cash, and certain other accrued liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities in order to manage and administer insurance claims on behalf of the Company. The fair values of the assets and liabilities held by the Captive Cell approximated their fair values as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024. Refer to Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional information on the Company’s captive insurance arrangement.

Earnings Per Share

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. The Company calculates diluted EPS using the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the total of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period, plus the effect of any potentially dilutive securities, except in cases where the effect of such securities would be anti-dilutive.
