Orion Group Holdings Inc Fair Value Disclosure
7.Fair Value
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of financial instruments is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Due to their short-term nature, the Company believes that the carrying value of its accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair values.
The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities into the following three levels based on the inputs used to measure fair value in the order of priority indicated:
| ● | Level 1- fair values are based on observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| ● | Level 2 - fair values are based on pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date; and |
| ● | Level 3- fair values are based on unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists. |
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Our concrete segment has life insurance policies with a combined face value of $11.1 million as of December 31, 2025. These policies are invested in mutual funds and the fair value measurement of the cash surrender balance associated with these policies is determined using Level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy and will vary with investment performance. The fair value of the cash surrender value of these policies at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. These assets are included in the “Other non-current” asset section in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s debt at December 31, 2025 and 2024 approximated its carrying value of $7.9 million and $26.8 million, respectively, as interest is based on current market interest rates for debt with similar risk and maturity. The estimated fair value of debt is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

About Fair Value Disclosures
Fair value disclosures classify all assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy: Level 1 (quoted market prices), Level 2 (observable inputs like yield curves), and Level 3 (unobservable inputs requiring management estimates). The proportion of Level 3 assets directly reflects how much of the balance sheet depends on internal models rather than market evidence.
Key signals: a growing Level 3 balance relative to total fair-value assets increases valuation uncertainty and earnings volatility risk. Watch for transfers between levels — assets moving from Level 2 to Level 3 often signal deteriorating market liquidity. Unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 positions flow through earnings or other comprehensive income, so large swings deserve scrutiny. For financial institutions, examine the sensitivity disclosures that show how Level 3 valuations change under alternative assumptions. Compare the fair value of debt against its carrying amount to gauge hidden leverage.
