Primoris Services Corp Commitments Disclosure
Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies
Legal proceedings—We are subject to claims and legal proceedings arising out of our business. We record costs related to contingencies when a loss from such claims is probable and the amount is reasonably estimable. In determining whether it is possible to provide an estimate of loss, or range of possible loss, we review and evaluate our litigation and regulatory matters on a quarterly basis in light of potentially relevant factual and legal developments. If we determine an unfavorable outcome is not probable or reasonably estimable, we do not accrue for a potential litigation loss.
Management is unable to ascertain the ultimate outcome of claims and legal proceedings; however, after review and consultation with counsel and taking into consideration relevant insurance coverage and related deductibles/self-insurance retention, management believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims and believes that the reasonably possible outcome of such claims will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.
Representation and Warranty Insurance Recoveries—We have obtained representation and warranty insurance to insure us against potential losses resulting from breaches of certain representations and warranties in connection with certain prior acquisitions. When appropriate, we file claims to recover losses attributable to breaches of representations or warranties by a selling party. The size of claim and amount of recovery can vary, but in some cases could have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.
Bonding—As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had bid and payment/performance bonds issued and outstanding totaling approximately $8.7 billion and $8.1 billion, respectively. The remaining performance obligation on those bonded projects totaled approximately $2.4 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively.

About Commitments Disclosures
Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.
Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
