Revenues for projects located in Ireland and the U.K. are attributed to the power industry services segment. The major portions of the Company’s consolidated revenues are recognized pursuant to fixed-price contracts with most of the remaining portions earned pursuant to time-and-material contracts. Consolidated revenues are disaggregated by reportable segment in Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Contract Termination

For a project being performed by APC to construct a gas-fired power facility in Northern Ireland (the “Kilroot Project”), an estimated loss of approximately $12.8 million has been recognized, of which $2.8 million was recorded during the six-month period ended July 31, 2024 and the remainder recorded in the prior fiscal year.

APC provided 14 days’ notice to terminate as a result of project owner breaches of the contract. Those breaches were not resolved during that 14-day period, as a result of which the contract terminated on May 3, 2024. Subsequently, the project owner made a draw for the full amount of a $9.2 million irrevocable letter of credit, or on-demand performance bond, issued by the Company’s bank. The amount is included in accounts receivable as of July 31, 2024. This amount is now

part of the open and disputed claims related to this project. APC and the Company believe the project owner initiated the draw without cause, and therefore, the amount should be refunded.

APC has significant billable receivables, unresolved contract variations and claims for extensions of time, among other issues, related to the Kilroot Project. The project owner has asserted counterclaims that APC disputes. APC will continue to pursue all of its rights under the contract, and will do so through legal means if necessary.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s timing of revenue recognition may not be consistent with its rights to bill and collect cash from project owners and other customers. Most contracts require payments as the corresponding work progresses that are determined in the manner described therein. This can result in large contract liability or contract asset balances early in contract lives that decline over the terms of the corresponding contracts. During the six months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no unusual or one-time adjustments to these balances.

The Company recognized the following revenues that were included in the contract liabilities balances at the beginning of the respective period:

Contract retentions are billed amounts which, pursuant to the terms of the applicable contract, are not paid by customers until a defined phase of a contract or project has been completed and accepted. These retained amounts are reflected in contract assets or contract liabilities depending on the net contract position of the particular contract. The amounts retained by project owners and other customers under construction contracts at July 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024 were $19.0 million and $21.2 million, respectively.

Variable Consideration

Variable consideration includes unapproved change orders where the Company has project-owner directive for additional work or other scope changes, but has not yet obtained approval for the associated price or the corresponding additional effort. These amounts are included in the transaction price when it is considered probable that the applicable costs, including those for additional effort, will be recovered through a modification to the contract price. The Company also includes in the corresponding transaction price an estimate of the amount that it expects to receive from claims based on management’s judgment regarding all reasonably available information. At July 31, 2024 and January 31, 2024, the aggregate amounts of such contract variations, that primarily related to an overseas project, and that were included in the corresponding transaction prices pending customer approvals, were $11.7 million and $8.4 million, respectively.

Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations (“RUPO”)

At July 31, 2024, the Company had RUPO of $1.0 billion. The largest portion of RUPO at any date usually relates to engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) service and other construction contracts with typical performance durations of one to three years. However, the length of certain significant construction projects may exceed three years. The Company estimates that approximately 42% of the RUPO amount at July 31, 2024 will be included in the amount of consolidated revenues that will be recognized during the remainder of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025 (“Fiscal 2025”). Most of the remaining amount of the RUPO amount at July 31, 2024 is expected to be recognized in revenues during the fiscal years ending January 31, 2026 (“Fiscal 2026”) and January 31, 2027 (“Fiscal 2027”).

It is important to note that estimates may be changed in the future and that cancellations, deferrals, or scope adjustments may occur related to work included in the amount of RUPO. Accordingly, RUPO may be adjusted to reflect project delays and cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost and foreign currency exchange fluctuations, or to revise estimates, as effects become known. Such adjustments to RUPO may materially reduce future revenues below Company estimates.
