Note 1—Nature of Business

Organization and operationsPrimoris Services Corporation is one of the leading providers of specialty contracting services operating mainly in the United States and Canada. We provide a wide range of specialty construction services, maintenance, replacement, fabrication and engineering services to a diversified base of customers through our two segments.

We have longstanding customer relationships with utility, refining, petrochemical, power, midstream, and engineering companies, and state departments of transportation. We provide our services to a diversified base of customers, under a range of contracting options. A portion of our services are provided under Master Service Agreements (“MSA”), which are generally multi-year agreements. The remainder of our services are generated from contracts for specific construction or installation projects.

We are incorporated in the State of Delaware, and our corporate headquarters are located at 2300 N. Field Street, Suite 1900, Dallas, Texas 75201. Unless specifically noted otherwise, as used throughout these consolidated financial statements, “Primoris”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”, “us” or “its” refers to the business, operations and financial results of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Reportable Segments — Through the end of 2022, we segregated our business into three reportable segments: the Utilities segment, the Energy/Renewables segment, and the Pipeline Services (“Pipeline”) segment. In the first quarter of 2023, we changed our reportable segments in connection with the realignment of our internal organization and management structure. The segment changes reflect the focus of our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) on the range of services we provide to our end user markets. Our CODM regularly reviews our operating and financial performance based on these new segments.

The current reportable segments include the Utilities segment and the Energy segment, and the Energy segment is made up of our former Energy/Renewables and Pipeline segments. See Note 15 – “Reportable Segments” for a brief description of the reportable segments and their operations.

The classification of revenue and gross profit for segment reporting purposes can at times require judgment on the part of management. Our segments may perform services across industries or perform joint services for customers in multiple industries. To determine reportable segment gross profit, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, such as facility costs, equipment costs and indirect operating expenses, were made.
