    Item 1.    BUSINESS
    General
    BWX Technologies, Inc. is a specialty manufacturer of nuclear components, a developer of nuclear technologies and a service provider with an operating history of more than 100 years. Our core businesses focus on the design, engineering and manufacture of precision naval nuclear components, nuclear reactors and nuclear fuel for the U.S. Government. We also provide special nuclear materials processing, environmental site restoration services, products and services to customers in the nuclear power industry, critical medical radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals and other advanced nuclear technologies. While we provide a wide range of products and services, our business segments are heavily focused on major projects. At any given time, a relatively small number of projects can represent a significant part of our operations.
    Business Segments
    We operate in two reportable segments: Government Operations and Commercial Operations. For financial information regarding each of our segments and financial information regarding geographic areas, see Note 3 and Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Report. For further details regarding each segment's facilities, see Item 2 of this Report. In general, we operate in capital-intensive industries and rely on large contracts for a substantial amount of our revenues. We are currently exploring growth strategies across our segments through strategic investments and acquisitions to expand and complement our existing businesses. We would expect to fund these opportunities with cash generated from operations or by raising additional capital through debt, equity or some combination thereof.
    Government Operations
    Through this segment, we engineer, design and manufacture precision naval nuclear components, reactors and nuclear fuel for the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE")/National Nuclear Security Administration's ("NNSA") Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program and we have over 100 years of experience in supplying components for defense applications. In addition, we supply proprietary and sole-source valves, manifolds and fittings to global naval and commercial shipping customers.
    Our Government Operations segment specializes in the design and manufacture of close-tolerance and high-quality equipment for nuclear applications. In addition, we design advanced reactors and are a leading manufacturer of critical nuclear components, fuels and assemblies for government and limited other uses. We have supplied nuclear components for DOE programs since the 1950s and are the largest domestic supplier of research reactor fuel elements for colleges, universities and national laboratories. We also downblend Cold War-era government stockpiles of high-enriched uranium, develop capabilities related to the manufacture of high-purity depleted uranium and manufacture other advanced materials and products for commercial, military and space applications.
    We work closely with the DOE-supported nuclear non-proliferation program. Currently, this program is assisting in the development of a high-density, low-enriched uranium fuel required for high-enriched uranium test reactor conversions. We have also been a leader in the receipt, storage, characterization, dissolution, recovery and purification of a variety of uranium-bearing materials. All phases of uranium downblending and uranium recovery are performed at our Lynchburg, Virginia and Erwin, Tennessee sites.
    The demand for nuclear components by the U.S. Government determines a substantial portion of this segment's backlog. We expect that orders for nuclear components will continue to be a significant part of backlog for the foreseeable future. In March 2024, the U.S. Navy issued its 30-year shipbuilding plan containing three alternative procurement profiles based upon varied funding assumptions. All three indicate growth in the total number of ships and a sustained, or increased, procurement profile for nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers. We plan to make additional capital expenditures and investments in personnel to meet the current demand requirements, and we expect to continue making such expenditures and investments in the future.

    This segment also provides various services to the U.S. and Canadian governments by managing and operating high-consequence operations at U.S. nuclear weapons sites, national laboratories and manufacturing complexes. The revenues and equity in income of investees under these types of contracts are largely a function of spending by the U.S. Government and the performance scores we and our consortium partners earn in managing and operating these sites. With our specialized capabilities of full life-cycle management of special materials, facilities and technologies, we believe that we are well-positioned to continue participating in the ongoing cleanup, operation and management of critical government-owned nuclear sites, laboratories and manufacturing complexes maintained by the DOE, NNSA and other federal agencies.
    The Government Operations segment is also a leader in the development of advanced nuclear reactors for a variety of power and propulsion applications in the space and terrestrial domains. U.S. Government customers for these applications include NASA, the U.S. Department of War ("DoW"), also known as the Department of Defense, and the DOE. We offer complete advanced nuclear fuel and reactor design and engineering, licensing and manufacturing services for these programs.
    Commercial Operations
    Through this segment, we design and manufacture commercial nuclear steam generators, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, reactor components and other auxiliary equipment, including containers for the storage of spent nuclear fuel and other high-level nuclear waste. We supply large, heavy components to the worldwide nuclear industry and are the only commercial heavy nuclear component manufacturer in North America. This segment is also a leading supplier of nuclear fuel, fuel handling systems, reactor controls, specialty tooling, nuclear-grade materials and precisely machined components, and related engineering and maintenance services for nuclear power plans. This segment also provides a variety of engineering and in-plant services and is a significant supplier to nuclear power utilities undergoing major refurbishment and plant life extension projects. Our in-depth knowledge comes from over 50 years of experience in the design, manufacturing, commissioning and service of nuclear power generation equipment.
    Our Commercial Operations segment specializes in performing full-scope, prototype design work coupled with manufacturing integration. This segment's capabilities include:
    steam generation and separation equipment design and development;
    thermal-hydraulic design of reactor plant components;
    in-plant inspection, maintenance and modification services;
    nuclear component modification and replacement;
    commercial nuclear fuel design and manufacturing;
    nuclear fuel handling system design, manufacturing, delivery, installation and commissioning;
    containers for the storage of spent nuclear fuel and other high-level waste;
    lifecycle support and management services for the global nuclear power industry, transmission and distribution markets;
    structural and thermal-hydraulic design and vibration analysis for heat exchangers;
    structural component design for precision manufacturing;
    materials expertise in high-strength, low-alloy steels and nickel-based materials;
    material procurement of tubing, forgings and weld wire; and
    metallographic and chemical analysis.
    This segment also manufactures and supplies products for diagnostic imaging and radiotherapeutic treatments and is a partner for contract development and manufacturing services for life science and pharmaceutical companies. Among its offerings are the manufacture of medical radioisotopes, radiopharmaceuticals and medical devices, as well as partnerships with life science and pharmaceutical companies developing new drugs.
    Our Commercial Operations segment's overall activity primarily depends on the demand and competitiveness of nuclear energy and the demand for critical medical radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals. A significant portion of our Commercial Operations segment's operations depends on the timing of maintenance outages and the cyclical nature of capital expenditures and major refurbishments for nuclear utility customers, principally in the Canadian market, which could cause variability in our financial results.

    Acquisitions
    Aerojet Ordnance Tennessee, Inc.
    On January 3, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Aerojet Ordnance Tennessee, Inc. ("A.O.T"), a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, Inc. A.O.T is a leading provider of advanced special materials which will further enhance our capabilities to develop and manufacture advanced materials and products for commercial, military and space applications. A.O.T. is reported as part of our Government Operations segment.
    Kinectrics, Inc.
    On May 20, 2025, we completed the acquisition Kinectrics Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Kinectrics, Inc. ("Kinectrics"). Kinectrics is a leader in providing lifecycle management services for the global nuclear power and transmission and distribution markets, and in the production and supply of isotopes for the radiopharmaceutical industry which will enable us to expand our portfolio of products and services in the global nuclear and nuclear medicine markets. Kinectrics is reported as part of our Commercial Operations segment.
    See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Report for additional information about our recent acquisition activity.
    Contracts
    We execute our contracts through a variety of methods, including fixed-price incentive fee, cost-plus, cost-reimbursable, firm fixed-price or some combination of these methods. We generally recognize our contract revenues and related costs on an over time basis. Accordingly, we review contract price and cost estimates regularly as the work progresses and reflect adjustments in profit proportionate to the percentage of completion in the period when we revise those estimates. To the extent that these adjustments result in a reduction or an elimination of previously reported profits with respect to a project, we would recognize a charge against current earnings, which could be material.
    We have contracts that extend beyond one year. Most of our long-term contracts have provisions for progress payments. We attempt to cover anticipated increases in labor, material and service costs of our long-term contracts either through an estimate of such changes, which is reflected in the original price, or through risk-sharing mechanisms, such as escalation or price adjustments for items including labor and material prices.
    In the event of a contract deferral or cancellation, we generally would be entitled to recover costs incurred, settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to deferral or cancellation. Significant or numerous contract deferrals or cancellations could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
    Government Operations
    The majority of the revenue generated by this segment is from long-term contracts with the DOE/NNSA's Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. Unless otherwise specified in a contract, allowable and allocable costs are billed to contracts with the U.S. Government in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (the "FAR") and the related U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards ("CAS"). Examples of costs that may be incurred by us and not billable to the U.S. Government in accordance with the requirements of the FAR and CAS include, but are not limited to, unallowable employee compensation and benefit costs, lobbying costs, interest, certain legal costs and charitable donations.
    Most of our contracts in this segment are fixed-price incentive fee contracts that provide for reimbursement of allowable costs incurred plus a fee and generally require that we use our best efforts to accomplish the scope of the work within some specified time and stated dollar limitation. Fees can be established in terms of dollar value or percentage of costs. Award and incentive fees are determined and earned based on customer evaluation of our performance against negotiated criteria, primarily related to cost, and are intended to provide motivation for excellence in contract performance. Incentive fees that are based on cost provide for an initially negotiated fee to be adjusted later, typically using a formula to measure performance against the associated criteria, based on the relationship of total allowable costs to total target costs. Award and incentive fees represent variable consideration that we include in revenue when there is sufficient evidence to determine that the variable consideration is not constrained.
    Certain of our U.S. Government contracts span one or more base years and multiple option years. The U.S. Government generally has the right not to exercise option periods and may not exercise an option period for various reasons including, but not limited to, annual funding determinations. In addition, contracts between the U.S. Government and its prime contractors usually contain standard provisions for termination at the convenience of the U.S. Government. As a U.S. Government
    3

    contractor, we are subject to federal regulations under which our right to receive future awards of new federal contracts would be unilaterally suspended or barred if we were convicted of a crime or indicted based on allegations of a violation of specific federal statutes. In addition, some of our contracts with the U.S. Government require us to provide advance notice in connection with any contemplated sale or shut down of the relevant facility. In each of these situations, the U.S. Government has an exclusive right to negotiate a mutually acceptable purchase of the facility.
    Our Government Operations segment also enters into contracts that include the management and operation of nuclear production facilities, environmental management sites and the management of spent nuclear fuel and transuranic waste for the U.S. Government, primarily the DOE. These activities are primarily accomplished through our participation in joint ventures with other contractors as further discussed under the caption "Joint Ventures" below. The contracts for the management and operation of U.S. Government facilities are awarded through a complex and protracted procurement process. These contracts are generally structured as five-year contracts with options for five to ten additional years, which are exercisable by the customer, or include provisions whereby the contract durations can be extended as a result of the achievement of certain performance metrics. These are generally cost-reimbursable contracts that include an award fee that is primarily based on annual performance, with periodic provisional fee payments and annual true-up payments. Depending on the type of contract, the contractor may be required to supply working capital, which is reimbursed by the U.S. Government through regular invoicing.
    This segment also serves customers of our advanced technology platforms primarily through contracts that are awarded following a competitive bid process, primarily in the early design and development phases of the underlying program. Most of our contracts in this area are cost-plus which reduces our overall risk as the underlying projects increase in scale.
    Commercial Operations
    Contracts in this segment are usually awarded through a competitive bid process. Factors that customers may consider include price, plant or equipment availability, technical capabilities of equipment and personnel, efficiency, safety record and reputation. Certain of these contracts are fixed-price contracts in which the specified scope of work is agreed to for a pre-determined price that is generally not subject to adjustment, regardless of costs incurred by the contractor, unless changes in scope are authorized by the customer. Fixed-price contracts entail more risk to us because they require us to predetermine both the quantities of work to be performed and the costs associated with executing the work. Remaining contracts are primarily time-and-materials contracts, under which the customer pays a fixed hourly rate for direct labor and generally reimburses us for the cost of materials. Our profit may vary under time-and-materials contracts if actual labor-hour rates vary significantly from the negotiated rates. Additionally, because time-and-materials contracts can provide little or no fee for managing material costs, the content mix can have an impact on profitability.

    Item 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 in Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q ("Report"), as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes and Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (our "2025 10-K").
    In this Report, unless the context otherwise indicates, "we," "us" and "our" mean BWX Technologies, Inc. ("BWXT" or the "Company") and its consolidated subsidiaries.
    Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
    From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our Company. Forward-looking statements include those statements that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Statements and assumptions regarding expectations and projections of specific projects, our future backlog, revenues, income, capital spending, strategic investments, acquisitions or divestitures, return of capital activities or margin improvement initiatives are examples of forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "seek," "goal," "could," "intend," "may," "should" or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. In addition, sometimes we will specifically describe a statement as being a forward-looking statement and refer to this cautionary statement.
    We have based our forward-looking statements on information currently available to us and our current expectations, estimates and projections about our Company, industries and business environment. We caution that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and you should not rely unduly on them as they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we cannot predict. In addition, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. While our management considers these statements and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to numerous factors, including potentially the risk factors described in Item 1A of our 2025 10-K, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. As a contractor to the U.S. Government, such risks include, without limitation, budget uncertainty, the risk of future budget cuts, the impact of continuing resolution funding mechanisms and the debt ceiling, the risk of government shutdowns, including the risk of program cancellations, schedule delays, production halts and other disruptions and nonpayment, and changing funding and acquisition priorities. Accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from the future performance that we have expressed or forecast in our forward-looking statements.
    We have discussed many of these factors in more detail elsewhere in this Report. These factors are not necessarily all the factors that could affect us. Unpredictable or unanticipated factors we have not discussed in this Report or in our 2025 10-K could also have material adverse effects on actual results of matters that are the subject of our forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update or review any forward-looking statement or our description of important factors, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws.
    General
    We are a leading supplier of nuclear components and fuel to the U.S. Government; provide technical, management and site services to support governments in the operation of complex facilities and environmental remediation activities; supply precision manufactured components, nuclear fuel and services for the commercial nuclear power industry; supply critical medical radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals; and develop nuclear technologies for a variety of applications, including medical radioisotopes, advanced nuclear power sources and advanced nuclear reactors.
    We operate in two reportable segments: Government Operations and Commercial Operations. In general, we operate in capital-intensive industries and rely on large contracts for a substantial amount of our revenues.

    Government Operations
    The revenues of our Government Operations segment are largely a function of national security spending by the U.S. Government. As a supplier of major nuclear components for certain U.S. Government programs, we are a significant participant in the defense industry and have not been negatively impacted by federal budget reductions to date. We believe many of our programs are well-aligned with national defense and other strategic priorities. However, it is possible that reductions in federal government spending could have an adverse impact on the operating results and cash flows of this segment in the future.
    Through this segment, we engineer, design and manufacture precision naval nuclear components, reactors and nuclear fuel for the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE")/National Nuclear Safety Administration's ("NNSA") Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. In addition, this segment downblends Cold War-era government stockpiles of high-enriched uranium, develops and manufactures advanced materials and products for commercial, military and space applications and supplies proprietary and sole-source valves, manifolds and fittings to global naval and commercial shipping customers. As a supplier of major nuclear components for certain U.S. Government programs, this segment is a significant participant in the defense industry.

    See Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information about our recent acquisition activity.
    Critical Accounting Estimates
    For a summary of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, see Item 7 of our 2025 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
    Contracts & Revenue Recognition
    We generally recognize contract revenue and resulting income over time based on the measurement of the extent of progress toward completion using total costs incurred as a percentage of the total estimated project costs for individual performance obligations. We review contract price and cost estimates periodically as the work progresses and reflect adjustments proportionate to the percentage-of-completion in income in the period when those estimates are revised. If a current estimate of total contract costs indicates a loss on a contract, the projected loss is recognized in full when determined.
    As we progress on our contracts and the underlying performance obligations, we refine our estimates of variable consideration and total estimated costs at completion, which impact the overall profitability on our contracts and performance obligations. Changes in these estimates result in the recognition of cumulative catch-up adjustments that impact our revenues and/or costs of contracts. The aggregate impact of changes in estimates decreased our revenues and operating income as follows:

    Contracts may be modified at the request of our customer or initiated by us to amend all or part of an existing contract, including contract type. Depending on the nature of the modification, we consider whether to account for the modification as an adjustment to the existing contract or as a separate contract. Modifications to our contracts are generally accounted for as if they were part of the existing contract as these modifications are not distinct from the existing contract and accounted for as a cumulative adjustment to revenue.

    We primarily operate in the U.S., Canada and various other foreign jurisdictions and we recognize our U.S. income tax provision based on the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, our Canadian tax provision is based on the Canadian local statutory rate of approximately 25%, and other foreign jurisdictions at various enacted rates.
    Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 15.0% as compared to 17.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 were lower than the U.S. corporate federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to excess tax benefits associated with equity compensation.
    Backlog
    Backlog represents the dollar amount of revenue we expect to recognize in the future from contracts awarded and in progress. Not all of our expected revenue from a contract award is recorded in backlog for a variety of reasons, including that some projects are awarded and completed within the same reporting period.
    Our backlog is equal to our remaining performance obligations under contracts that meet the criteria in Financial Accounting Standards Board Topic Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as discussed in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report. It is possible that our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to methods used by other companies.

    24

    We are subject to the budgetary and appropriations cycle of the U.S. Government as it relates to our Government Operations segment. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results and projects in our backlog may be cancelled, modified or otherwise altered by customers.

    We do not include the value of our unconsolidated joint venture contracts in backlog.
    As of March 31, 2026, our ending backlog was $8,650.8 million, which included $2,367.4 million of unfunded backlog related to U.S. Government contracts. We expect to recognize approximately 60% of the revenue associated with our backlog by the end of 2027, with the remainder to be recognized thereafter.
    Major new awards from the U.S. Government are typically received following Congressional approval of the budget for the U.S. Government's next fiscal year, which starts October 1, and may not be awarded to us before the end of the calendar year. Due to the fact that most contracts awarded by the U.S. Government are subject to these annual funding approvals, the total values of the underlying programs are significantly larger.
    The value of unexercised options excluded from backlog as of March 31, 2026, including previous awards, was approximately $1,400 million. We expect $900 million to be awarded in 2030 and $500 million to be awarded in 2035, subject to annual Congressional appropriations.
    Liquidity and Capital Resources
    New Credit Facility
    On November 10, 2025, we entered into a second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "New Credit Facility") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto, which amended and restated our then-existing secured credit facility (the "Former Credit Facility"), which consisted of a $750 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a $250 million senior secured term A loan (the "Term Loan"). The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan were repaid, in their entirety, with the proceeds from the 2030 Notes as discussed below. The New Credit Facility includes a $1.25 billion senior secured revolving credit facility. The proceeds of loans under the New Credit Facility are available for working capital needs, permitted acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.
    The New Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on November 10, 2030, subject to an early maturity trigger if on any date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of unsecured indebtedness due within 91 days thereof is in excess of 100% of EBITDA, as defined in the New Credit Facility, for the last four full fiscal quarters. However, this early maturity trigger will not apply if (1) the total Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 or (2) liquidity is at least 125% of such outstanding unsecured indebtedness. The Company’s obligations under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed by the same guarantors that guarantee the 2030 Notes. The New Credit Facility is secured by first-priority liens on certain assets owned by the Company and the guarantors (other than its subsidiaries comprising a portion of its Government Operations segment), provided such liens may be released if the Company obtains investment grade ratings of at least BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Moody's and no default or event of default exists.
    The New Credit Facility allows for additional parties to become lenders and, subject to certain conditions, for the increase of the commitments under the New Credit Facility, subject to an aggregate maximum for all additional commitments of (1) the greater of (a) $600 million and (b) 100% of EBITDA, as defined in the New Credit Facility, for the last four full fiscal quarters, plus (2) additional amounts provided the Company is in compliance with a pro forma first lien leverage ratio test 3.00 to 1.00 or less.
    Outstanding loans under the New Credit Facility bear interest at our option at either (i) the Term SOFR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% per year or (ii) the base rate (the highest of (x) the administrative agent's prime rate, (y) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% and (z) the Term SOFR rate for a one-month tenor plus 1.00%) plus a margin ranging from 0% to 0.75% per year. In addition, the Company will be charged (1) a commitment fee of between 0.15% and 0.225% per year on

    25

    the unused portion of the New Credit Facility, (2) a letter of credit fee of between 1.00% and 1.75% per year with respect to the amount of each financial letter of credit issued under the New Credit Facility, and (3) a letter of credit fee of between 0.75% and 1.05% per year with respect to the amount of each performance letter of credit or commercial letter of credit issued under the New Credit Facility. The applicable margin for loans, the commitment fee and the letter of credit fees set forth above will vary quarterly based on the Company's consolidated total net leverage ratio.
    The Company may prepay all loans under the New Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary Term SOFR rate breakage costs), subject to notice requirements.
    The New Credit Facility contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that the Company considers customary for an agreement of this type, including covenants setting a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio. If any event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events occurs with respect to the Company, the lenders’ commitments under the New Credit Facility will automatically terminate and all outstanding obligations under the New Credit Facility will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default occurs, the lenders will be permitted to terminate their commitments under the New Credit Facility, accelerate all outstanding obligations under the New Credit Facility and exercise other rights and remedies, including the commencement of foreclosure or other actions against the collateral. Based on the total net leverage ratio applicable at March 31, 2026, the margin for Term SOFR and base rate loans was 1.50% and 0.50%, respectively, the letter of credit fee for financial letters of credit and performance letters of credit was 1.50% and 0.90%, respectively, and the commitment fee for the unused portion of the New Credit Facility was 0.20%.
    The New Credit Facility includes financial covenants that are evaluated on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The maximum permitted leverage ratio is 4.00 to 1.00, which may be increased to 4.50 to 1.00 for up to four consecutive fiscal quarters after a material acquisition. The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio is 3.00 to 1.00. In addition, the New Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants, including with respect to debt, liens, investments, mergers, acquisitions, dividends, equity repurchases and asset sales. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants set forth in the New Credit Facility.
    As of March 31, 2026, letters of credit issued under the New Credit Facility totaled $1.4 million. We had no outstanding borrowings and $1,248.6 million available under the New Credit Facility for borrowings and to meet letter of credit requirements.
    The New Credit Facility generally includes customary events of default for a secured credit facility. Under the New Credit Facility, (1) if an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events occur with respect to the Company, all related obligations will immediately become due and payable; (2) if any other event of default exists, the lenders will be permitted to accelerate the maturity of the related obligations outstanding; and (3) if any event of default exists, the lenders will be permitted to terminate their commitments thereunder and exercise other rights and remedies, including the commencement of foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.
    If any default occurs under the New Credit Facility, or if we are unable to make any of the representations and warranties in the New Credit Facility, we will be unable to borrow funds or have letters of credit issued under the New Credit Facility.
    Senior Notes due 2028
    We issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due 2028 (the "Senior Notes due 2028") pursuant to an indenture dated June 12, 2020 (the "2020 Indenture"), among the Company, certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (formerly known as U.S. Bank National Association) ("U.S. Bank"), as trustee. The Senior Notes due 2028 are guaranteed by each of the Company's present and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Credit Facility.
    Interest on the Senior Notes due 2028 is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each year at a rate of 4.125% per annum. The Senior Notes due 2028 will mature on June 30, 2028.
    We may redeem the Senior Notes due 2028, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
    The 2020 Indenture contains customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, failure to comply with covenants or agreements contained in the 2020 Indenture or the Senior Notes due 2028 and certain provisions

    26

    related to bankruptcy events. The 2020 Indenture also contains customary negative covenants. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants set forth in the 2020 Indenture and the Senior Notes due 2028.
    Senior Notes due 2029
    We issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due 2029 (the "Senior Notes due 2029") pursuant to an indenture dated April 13, 2021 (the "2021 Indenture"), among the Company, certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, and U.S. Bank, as trustee. The Senior Notes due 2029 are guaranteed by each of the Company's present and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Credit Facility.
    Interest on the Senior Notes due 2029 is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, at a rate of 4.125% per annum. The Senior Notes due 2029 will mature on April 15, 2029.
    We may redeem the Senior Notes due 2029, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount to be redeemed if the redemption occurs on or after April 15, 2026, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
    The 2021 Indenture contains customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, failure to comply with covenants or agreements contained in the 2021 Indenture or the Senior Notes due 2029 and certain provisions related to bankruptcy events. The 2021 Indenture also contains customary negative covenants. As of March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants set forth in the 2021 Indenture and the Senior Notes due 2029.
    2030 Notes and Capped Call Transactions
    2030 Notes
    In November 2025, the Company issued $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes"), including the exercise in full of the initial purchasers' option to purchase up to an additional $150.0 million principal amount of the 2030 Notes. The 2030 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated November 19, 2025 (the "Indenture"), among the Company, certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The 2030 Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company's present and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its existing and future capital markets indebtedness.
    The conversion rate for the 2030 Notes will initially be 3.8094 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2030 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $262.51 per share of common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon certain events. Upon conversion, the Company will settle conversions by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be converted and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at its election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of its conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes being converted, based on the applicable conversion rate(s).
    The 2030 Notes will mature on November 1, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2030 Notes will not bear regular interest, and the principal amount of the 2030 Notes will not accrete. However, special interest and additional interest, if any, may accrue on the 2030 Notes at a combined rate per annum not exceeding 0.50% upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Indenture.
    The Company may not redeem the 2030 Notes at its option before November 6, 2028. The Company will have the option to redeem the 2030 Notes, in whole or in part (subject to the partial redemption limitation described below), at any time, and from time to time, on or after November 6, 2028 and before the 26th Scheduled Trading Day (as defined in the Indenture) immediately before the maturity date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if certain conditions are met.
    On or after August 1, 2030, until the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day (as defined in the Indenture) immediately before the maturity date, the 2030 Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders at any time.
    Before August 1, 2030, noteholders will have the right to convert their 2030 Notes only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2026, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for each of at least 20 trading days (whether

    27

    or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price per share of common stock on such trading day and the conversion rate on each Trading Day; (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events or distributions on the common stock as set forth in the Indenture; or (4) if the Company calls the 2030 Notes for redemption.
    If the Company undergoes a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture), then, subject to certain exceptions, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their 2030 Notes in whole or in part for cash at a price equal to the principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest and additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the Indenture). The definition of Fundamental Change includes, among other things, certain business combination transactions involving the Company and certain de-listing events with respect to the common stock.
    Capped Call Transactions
    In connection with the pricing of the 2030 Notes and the exercise by the initial purchasers of their option in full to purchase additional 2030 Notes, respectively, the Company paid $131.9 million to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with affiliates of certain of the initial purchasers and certain other financial institutions (the “Option Counterparties”). The Capped Call Transactions have an expiration date of November 1, 2030 but may be redeemed earlier, subject to certain conditions.
    The Capped Call Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 2030 Notes, the number of shares of common stock initially underlying the 2030 Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the holders of common stock upon any conversion of the 2030 Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 2030 Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions will initially be $396.24 per share of common stock, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the common stock of $198.12 per share on November 5, 2025, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions.
    The Capped Call Transactions are separate transactions (in each case entered into by the Company with the Option Counterparties), are not part of the terms of the 2030 Notes and will not change the holders’ rights under the 2030 Notes. Holders will not have any rights with respect to the Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting for instruments that are both indexed to the issuer's own stock and classified in stockholders' equity on our consolidated balance sheets.
    The 2030 Notes and the Capped Call Transactions have been integrated for tax purposes. The impact of this tax treatment results in the Capped Call Transactions being deductible with the cost of the Capped Call Transactions qualifying as original issue discount for tax purposes over the term of the 2030 Notes.
    Other Arrangements
    We have posted surety bonds to support regulatory and contractual obligations for certain decommissioning responsibilities, projects and legal matters. We utilize surety bond facilities to support such obligations, but the issuance of surety bonds under those facilities is typically at the surety's discretion, and the surety bond facilities generally permit the surety, in its sole discretion, to terminate the facility or demand collateral. Although there can be no assurance that we will maintain our surety bond capacity, we believe our current capacity is adequate to support our existing requirements for the next 12 months. In addition, these surety bonds generally indemnify the beneficiaries should we fail to perform our obligations under the applicable agreements. We, and certain of our subsidiaries, have jointly executed general agreements of indemnity in favor of surety underwriters relating to surety bonds those underwriters issue. As of March 31, 2026, surety bonds issued and outstanding under these arrangements totaled approximately $359.6 million.
    Similarly, we have provided letters of credit and bank guarantees to governmental agencies and contractual counterparties to support regulatory and contractual obligations for certain decommissioning responsibilities, projects and legal matters. We utilize our New Credit Facility and a bilateral letter of credit facility to support such obligations, but the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees under our bilateral letter of credit facility is at the issuer's discretion, and our bilateral letter of credit facility generally permits the issuer, in its sole discretion, to demand collateral if the issuer does not otherwise have the benefit of the collateral under our New Credit Facility. Although there can be no assurance that we will maintain our bilateral letter of credit facility capacity, we believe our current capacity, together with capacity under our New Credit Facility, is adequate to

    28

    support our existing requirements for the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2026, letters of credit and bank guarantees issued and outstanding under our bilateral letter of credit facility totaled approximately $50.7 million, and such letters of credit and bank guarantees are secured by the collateral under our New Credit Facility.
    Long-term Benefit Obligations
    As of March 31, 2026, we had underfunded defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans with obligations totaling approximately $158.1 million. These long-term liabilities are expected to require use of our resources to satisfy future funding obligations. Based largely on statutory funding requirements, we expect to make contributions of approximately $16.3 million for the remainder of 2026 related to our pension and postretirement plans. We may also make additional contributions based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, tax planning, evaluation of funded status and risk mitigation strategies.
    Other
    Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Investments
    Our domestic and foreign cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:

    Foreign74,475 14,188 
    Total$528,274 $515,447 

    Our working capital increased by $53.8 million to $942.2 million at March 31, 2026 from $888.3 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to changes in contracts in progress and advance billings on contracts due to the timing of project cash flows and decreases in accrued employee benefits offset partially by increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
    Our net cash provided by operating activities increased by $42.0 million to $92.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $50.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to the timing of vendor payments and project cash flows.
    Our net cash used in investing activities decreased by $109.4 million to $46.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to cash used in investing activities of $156.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to the acquisition of A.O.T. on January 3, 2025.
    Our net cash used in financing activities increased by $119.0 million to $34.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $84.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to net borrowings of long-term debt of $141.9 million in the corresponding period in the prior year.
    At March 31, 2026, we had restricted cash and cash equivalents totaling $8.0 million, $4.8 million of which was held for future decommissioning of facilities (which is included in Other Assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets) and $3.2 million of which was held to meet reinsurance reserve requirements of our captive insurer.
    At March 31, 2026, we had long-term investments with a fair value of $7.9 million and our investment portfolio consisted entirely of mutual funds. These equity securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings.

    29

    Cash Requirements
    As discussed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we announced our intention to acquire PCG. We expect to make a significant cash investment during 2026 to complete this acquisition.
    We believe we have sufficient cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity, along with cash generated from operations and continued access to capital markets, to satisfy our cash requirements for the next 12 months and beyond.
