COMMITMENTS | NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS Performance Bonds and Guarantees In the normal course of business and for certain major projects, the Company may be required to obtain surety or performance bonding, to cause the issuance of letters of credit, or to provide parent company guarantees (or some combination thereof) in order to provide performance assurances to clients on behalf of its contractor subsidiaries. As these subsidiaries are wholly-owned, any actual liability is ordinarily reflected in the financial statement account balances determined pursuant to the Company’s accounting for contracts with customers. When sufficient information about claims on guaranteed or bonded projects would become available and monetary damages or other costs or losses are determined to be probable, the Company would record such losses. As of October 31, 2024, the estimated amounts of the Company’s unsatisfied bonded performance obligations, covering all of its subsidiaries, was approximately $0.3 billion. As of October 31, 2024, the outstanding amount of bonds covering other risks, including warranty obligations and contract payment retentions related to completed activities, was $22.9 million. Not all of our projects require bonding. The Company also provided a financial guarantee, subject to certain terms and conditions, up to the amount of $3.6 million in support of business development efforts. An estimated loss related to this guarantee was recorded during the year ended January 31, 2022 (“Fiscal 2022”). Warranties The Company generally provides assurance-type warranties for work performed under its construction contracts. The warranties cover defects in equipment, materials, design or workmanship, and most warranty periods typically run from nine to twenty-four months after the completion of construction on a particular project. Because of the requirements of the Company’s projects, including project owner inspections of the work both during construction and prior to substantial completion, the Company has not experienced material unexpected warranty costs in the past. Warranty costs are estimated based on experience with the type of work and any known risks relative to each completed project. The accruals of liabilities, which are established to cover estimated future assurance-type warranty costs, are recorded as the contracted work is performed, and they are included in the amounts of accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balances sheets. The liability amounts may be periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated size and number of expected warranty claims.
