Centuri Holdings, Inc. Leases Disclosure
Leases
The Company has operating and finance leases for corporate and field offices, equipment yards, construction equipment and transportation vehicles. The Company is currently not a lessor in any significant lease arrangements. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of up to 13 years. Some of these leases include options to extend the leases, generally for optional terms of up to five years, and some include options to terminate the leases within one year. The equipment leases may include variable payment terms in addition to the fixed lease payments if machinery is used in excess of the standard work periods. The occurrence of these variable payments is not probable under the Company’s current operating environment and has not been included in consideration of lease payments. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are classified as short-term leases and are not recognized on the consolidated balance sheets unless the lease contains a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, or unless it is reasonably certain that the equipment or property will be leased for greater than 12 months. Due to the seasonality of the Company’s operations, expense for short-term leases will fluctuate throughout the year with higher expense typically incurred during the periods when revenue is the greatest. As of December 28, 2025, the Company did not have any significant executed lease agreements that had not yet commenced.

During the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, the Company entered into sale-leaseback transactions for certain of its machinery and equipment. These sales generated $37.8 million in proceeds and resulted in the addition of operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $30.0 million. The Company recorded a net gain of $5.9 million as a result of these transactions. The leases will carry terms of 4 to 7 years.
In addition to the sale-leaseback transactions, the Company also entered into several hundred long-term equipment leases (increase in operating lease right-of-use assets of $42.3 million) focused primarily on obtaining longer-term control over equipment that was previously being used under short-term rental agreements.Historical Timeline

About Leases Disclosures
Lease disclosures under ASC 842 provide a comprehensive view of a company's leased asset portfolio, including the split between operating and finance leases, discount rates used to present-value future payments, and the maturity schedule of lease obligations. This section reveals a significant source of off-balance-sheet commitments that were largely hidden before the current standard.
Key signals: the weighted-average discount rate affects the size of recorded lease liabilities — a higher rate reduces the reported obligation, so compare the chosen rate against the company's incremental borrowing rate. The operating versus finance lease mix affects both EBITDA and operating income presentation. Watch the maturity table for concentration risk: large payment cliffs in specific years may create cash flow pressure. Variable lease payments excluded from the liability measurement represent real obligations that do not appear on the balance sheet. Compare total lease costs against prior-year operating lease expense to assess the true economic burden.
