Note 1—Nature of Business

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

We have longstanding customer relationships with solar facility developers and utility, refining, petrochemical, communications, midstream, downstream, and engineering companies, as well as power producers and transportation agencies across our core markets. 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 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 — Our current reportable segments are the Utilities segment and the Energy segment. See Note 13 – “Reportable Segments” for a brief description of the reportable segments and their operations.

The classification of revenue, gross profit, and operating income 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 and operating income, certain allocations, including allocations of shared and indirect costs, such as facility costs, equipment costs, selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and indirect operating expenses, were made.

Seasonality Our results of operations are subject to quarterly variations. Some of the variation is the result of weather, particularly rain, ice, snow, and named storms, which can impact our ability to perform infrastructure services. These seasonal impacts can affect revenue and profitability in all of our businesses. Any quarter can be affected either negatively or positively by atypical weather patterns in any part of the country. In addition, demand for new projects in our Utilities segment tends to be lower during the early part of the calendar year due to clients’ internal budget cycles. As a result, we usually experience higher revenue and earnings in the second, third and fourth quarters of the year as compared to the first quarter.

Variability — Our project values range in size from several hundred dollars to several hundred million dollars. The bulk of our work is comprised of project sizes that average less than $3.0 million. We also perform large construction projects which tend not to be seasonal but can fluctuate from year to year based on customer timing, project duration, weather, and general economic conditions. Our business may be affected by declines or delays in new projects or by client project schedules. Because of the cyclical nature of some of our business, the financial results for any period may fluctuate from prior periods, and our financial condition and operating results may vary from quarter to quarter. Results from one quarter may not be indicative of financial condition or operating results for any other quarter or for an entire year.
