Background and Nature of Operations

Everus Construction, Inc. (formerly known as MDU Construction Services Group, Inc.) (“Everus Construction”) is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and operated historically as a wholly owned subsidiary of CEHI, LLC (“Centennial”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of MDU Resources Group, Inc. (“MDU Resources” or “MDU”).

On November 2, 2023, MDU Resources announced its intent to pursue a tax-free spinoff of Everus Construction from MDU Resources (the “Separation”). In anticipation of the Separation, MDU Resources formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, Everus Construction Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Everus”), that would become the new parent company of Everus Construction.

On October 31, 2024, MDU Resources completed the Separation by transferring Everus Construction, inclusive of all its assets and liabilities, to Everus and distributing 50,972,059 shares of Everus common stock ($0.01 par value) to MDU Resources stockholders of record as of October 21, 2024 (the “Distribution”). The Distribution was structured as a pro rata distribution of one share of Everus common stock for every four shares of MDU Resources common stock (such ratio, the “Distribution Ratio”). MDU Resources did not distribute any fractional shares of Everus common stock to its stockholders as part of the Distribution. Instead, MDU Resources’ stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Everus common stock that they would have received after application of the Distribution Ratio.

As a result of the Separation and Distribution, Everus is now a separate, independent publicly traded company and its common stock is listed under the symbol “ECG” on the New York Stock Exchange. More information on the Separation and Distribution, as well as the Company's historical results, can be found within the Company's Registration Statement on Form 10 (“Form 10”), which is not incorporated by reference herein.

The Separation was completed pursuant to a separation and distribution agreement and other agreements with MDU Resources related to the Separation, including, but not limited to, a transition services agreement, a tax matters agreement and an employee matters agreement. The Company has incurred costs in establishing itself as an independent public entity and expects additional ongoing expenses related to its continued operations as such.

Prior to the Separation, Everus Construction was the construction services segment of MDU Resources. The Company provides specialty contracting services to a diverse set of end markets across the United States, which are provided to utilities and manufacturing, transportation, commercial, industrial, institutional, renewables and governmental customers. The Company operates throughout most of the United States through two operating segments, which represent its two reportable segments:

Electrical & Mechanical: Contracting services including construction and maintenance of electrical and communication wiring and infrastructure, fire suppression systems, and mechanical piping and services to customers in both the public and private sectors.

Transmission & Distribution: Contracting services including construction and maintenance of overhead and underground electrical, gas and communication infrastructure, as well as design, manufacturing and distribution of overhead and underground transmission line construction equipment and tools.
