Note 1—Nature of Business

Organization and operations — Primoris Services Corporation (the “Company”) is a holding company of various construction and product engineering subsidiaries. The Company’s underground and directional drilling operations install, replace and repair natural gas, petroleum, telecommunications and water pipeline systems, including large diameter pipeline systems. The Company’s industrial, civil and engineering operations build and provide maintenance services to industrial facilities including power plants, petrochemical facilities, and other processing plants; construct multi-level parking structures; and engage in the construction of highways, bridges and other environmental construction activities. The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware, and its corporate headquarters are located at 2100 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1500, Dallas, Texas 75201.

Reportable Operating Segments — In the third quarter 2014, the Company reorganized its business segments to match the changes in the Company’s internal organization and management structure.  The current operating segments include:  the West Construction Services segment (“West segment”), which is unchanged from the previous segment, the East Construction Services segment (“East segment”), which is realigned from the previous East Construction Services segment, and the Energy segment, which included certain subsidiaries that were included as part of the prior year East Construction Services and Engineering segments (“Energy segment”).  All prior period amounts related to the segment change have been retrospectively reclassified throughout these quarterly financial statements to conform to the new presentation.  See Note 20 — Reportable Operating Segments.

The following table lists the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries and their current and prior reportable operating segment:

The Company owns 50% of the Blythe Power Constructors joint venture (“Blythe”) created for the installation of a parabolic trough solar field and steam generation system in California, and its operations are included as part of the West Construction Services segment. The Company determined that in accordance with FASB Topic 810, the Company was the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and has consolidated the results of Blythe in its financial statements. The project has been completed and the project warranty will expire in May 2015 at which time the Company will terminate the Blythe joint venture. Financial information is presented in “Note 12—Noncontrolling Interests.”

In January 2014, the Company created a wholly owned subsidiary, BW Primoris, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“BWP”). BWP’s goal is to develop water projects, primarily in Texas, that will need the Company’s construction services.  On January 22, 2014, BWP entered into an agreement to purchase the assets and business of Blaus Wasser, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, for approximately $5 million. During the first quarter of 2014, BWP entered into an intercompany construction contract with Cardinal Contractors, Inc. to build a small water treatment facility which will be owned by BWP. When the treatment facility is completed, the facility will generate revenues through a take-or-pay contract with a West Texas municipal entity. For the years 2015 and 2014, all intercompany revenue and profit of the project was eliminated, and at March 31, 2015, a total of $13.4 million has been capitalized as property, plant and equipment.

Table of Contents

In May 2014, the Company created a wholly owned subsidiary, Vadnais Trenchless Services, Inc., a California company (“Vadnais”), which on June 5, 2014, purchased the assets of Vadnais Corporation for $6.4 million. Vadnais Corporation was a general contractor specializing in micro-tunneling. The assets purchased were primarily equipment, building and land.  The purchase included a contingent earnout on meeting certain operating targets.

During the third quarter 2014, the Company made three small purchases totaling $8.2 million acquiring the net assets of Surber Roustabout, LLC (“Surber”), Ram-Fab, LLC (“Ram-Fab”) and Williams Testing, LLC (“Williams”). Surber and Ram-Fab operate as divisions of PES, and Williams is a division of Cardinal Contractors, Inc. Surber provides general oil and gas related construction activities in Texas; Ram-Fab is a fabricator of custom piping systems located in Arkansas; and Williams provides construction services related to sewer pipeline maintenance, rehabilitation and integrity testing in the Florida market. The Surber and Ram-Fab purchases provided for a contingent earnout amounts as discussed in “Note 8—Business Combinations”.

On February 28, 2015, the Company acquired Aevenia, Inc. (“Aevenia”) for approximately $23 million in cash. Aevenia has been re-branded as Primoris AV, Energy and Electrical Construction Corporation (“Primoris AV”) and operates as part of Primoris’ Energy segment.

Headquartered in Moorhead, Minnesota, Primoris AV is an energy and electrical construction company. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Primoris AV generated operating income of $4.2 million on revenues of $44.4 million. The estimated value of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date included $4.0 million in current assets, $2.3 million in current liabilities, plant and equipment of $11.2 million and $9.3 million in intangible assets and goodwill.

Primoris AV specializes in overhead and underground line work, substations, telecom/fiber, and certain other client-specific on-demand call out services. The majority of their work is delivered under unit-price Master Services Agreements (“MSAs”). Primoris AV has operations in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa. The Company believes there are opportunities for Primoris AV to grow sales by performing in-house work for other Primoris subsidiaries and to expand the Company’s offerings to new geographies in the Midwest.

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.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation

Interim consolidated financial statements — The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As such, certain disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 16, 2015, which contains the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, have been omitted.

This First Quarter 2015 Report should be read in concert with the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The interim financial information is unaudited.  In the opinion of management, the interim information includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial information.

Revenue recognition

Fixed-price contracts — Historically, a substantial portion of the Company’s revenue has been generated under fixed-price contracts. For fixed-price contracts, the Company recognizes revenues primarily using the percentage-of-completion method, which may result in uneven and irregular results. In the percentage-of-completion method, estimated revenues, estimated contract values and total costs incurred to date are used to calculate revenues earned. Unforeseen events and circumstances can alter the estimate of the costs and potential profit associated with a particular contract. Total estimated costs, and thus contract revenues and income, can be impacted by changes in productivity, scheduling, the unit cost of labor, subcontracts, materials and equipment. Additionally, external factors such as weather, client needs, client delays in providing permits and approvals, labor availability, governmental regulation and politics may affect the progress of a project’s completion and thus the timing of revenue recognition. To the extent that original cost estimates are modified, estimated costs to complete increase, delivery schedules are delayed, or progress under a contract is otherwise impeded, cash flow, revenue recognition and profitability from a particular contract may be adversely affected.

The Company considers unapproved change orders to be contract variations for which it has customer approval for a change in scope but for which it does not have an agreed upon price change. Costs associated with unapproved change orders are included in the estimated cost to complete the contracts and are treated as project costs as incurred. The Company recognizes revenue equal to costs incurred on unapproved change orders based on an estimated probability of realization from change order approval. Unapproved change orders involve the use of estimates, and it is reasonably possible that revisions to the estimated costs and recoverable amounts may be required in future reporting periods to reflect changes in estimates or final agreements with customers.

Table of Contents

The Company considers claims to be amounts it seeks, or will seek, to collect from customers or others for customer-caused changes in contract specifications or design, or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs on which there is no agreement with customers on both scope and price changes. Claims are included in the calculation of revenues when realization is probable and amounts can be reliably determined. Revenues in excess of contract costs incurred on claims are recognized when the amounts have been agreed upon with the customer. Revenue in excess of contract costs from claims is recognized when an agreement is reached with customers as to the value of the claims, which in some instances may not occur until after completion of work under the contract. Costs associated with claims are included in the estimated costs to complete the contracts and are treated as project costs when incurred.

Other contract forms — The Company also uses unit-price, time and material, and cost reimbursable plus fee contracts.  For these jobs, revenue is recognized primarily based on contractual terms. For example, time and material contract revenues are generally recognized on an input basis, based on labor hours incurred and on purchases made. Similarly, unit price contracts generally recognize revenue on an output based measurement such as the completion of specific units at a specified unit price.

At any time during a fixed-price contract if an estimate of total contract cost indicates a loss on a contract, the projected loss is recognized in full at that time. The loss amount is recognized as an “accrued loss provision” and is included in the accrued expenses and other liabilities amount on the balance sheet. As the percentage-of-completion method is used to calculate revenues, the accrued loss provision is changed so that the gross profit for the contract remains zero in future periods. If we anticipate that there will be a loss for unit price or cost reimbursable contracts, the projected loss is recognized in full at that time.

Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income. These revisions are recognized in the period in which the revisions are identified.

In all forms of contracts, the Company estimates its collectability of contract amounts at the same time that it estimates project costs.  If the Company anticipates that there may be issues associated with the collectability of the full amount calculated as revenues, the Company may reduce the amount recognized as revenue to reflect the uncertainty associated with realization of the eventual cash collection. For example, when a cost reimbursable project exceeds the client’s expected budget amount, the client frequently requests an adjustment to the final amount. Similarly, some utility clients reserve the right to audit costs for significant periods after performance of the work. In these situations, the Company may choose to defer recognition of revenue up to the time that the client pays for the services.

The caption “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet represents unbilled receivables, which arise when revenues have been recorded but the amount will not be billed until a later date.  Balances represent:  (a) unbilled amounts arising from the use of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting which may not be billed under the terms of the contract until a later date, (b) incurred costs to be billed under cost reimbursement type contracts, (c) amounts arising from routine lags in billing, or (d) the revenue associated with unapproved change orders or claims when realization is probable and amounts can be reliably determined.  For those contracts in which billings exceed contract revenues recognized to date, the excess amounts are included in the caption “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings”.

In accordance with applicable terms of certain construction contracts, retainage amounts may be withheld by customers until completion and acceptance of the project.  Some payments of the retainage may not be received for a significant period after completion of our portion of a project.  In some jurisdictions, retainage amounts are deposited into an escrow account.

Significant revision in contract estimate — Revenue recognition is based on the percentage-of-completion method for firm fixed-price contracts. Under this method, the costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs are used to calculate revenue. Total estimated costs, and thus contract revenues and margin, are impacted by many factors, which can cause significant changes in estimates during the life cycle of a project.

For projects that were in process in at the end of the prior year, there can be a difference in revenues and profits that would have been recognized in the prior year, had current year estimates of costs to complete been known at the end of the prior year.

Customer Concentration — The Company operates in multiple industry segments encompassing the construction of commercial, industrial and public works infrastructure assets throughout primarily the United States. Typically, the top ten customers in any one calendar year generate revenues in excess of 50% of total revenues; however, the group that comprise the top ten customers varies from year to year.

During the three months ending March 31, 2015, revenues generated by the top ten customers were $236 million, which represented 60.2% of total revenues during the period. During that period, a large midstream pipeline company represented 13.9% of total revenues and TX DOT represented 10.9% of total revenues.

Table of Contents

During the three months ending March 31, 2014, revenues generated by the top ten customers were $283 million, which represented 60.1% of total revenues during the period. During that period, a large solar electric plant represented 12.7% of total revenues and TX DOT represented 9.3% of total revenues.

At March 31, 2015, approximately 10.6% of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from one customer, and that customer provided 13.9% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015. In addition, of total accounts receivable, approximately 17.2% of total accounts receivable are currently in dispute resolution. See Note 19 — “Commitments and Contingencies”.

At March 31, 2014, approximately 12.7% of the Company’s accounts receivable were due from one customer, and that customer provided 12.7% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Multiemployer Plans — Various subsidiaries in the West segment are signatories to collective bargaining agreements.  These agreements require that the Company participate in and contribute to a number of multiemployer benefit plans for its union employees at rates determined by the agreements. The trustees for each multiemployer plan determine the eligibility and allocations of contributions and benefit amounts, determine the types of benefits and administer the plan. Federal law requires that if the Company were to withdraw from an agreement, it would incur a withdrawal obligation. The potential withdrawal obligation may be significant. Any withdrawal liability would be recorded when it is probable that a liability exists and can be reasonably estimated, in accordance with GAAP. In November 2011, the Company withdrew from the Central States Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund multiemployer pension plan, as discussed in Note 19 — “Commitments and Contingencies.” The Company has no plans to withdraw from any other agreements.

Inventory and uninstalled contract materials — Inventory consists of expendable construction materials and small tools that will be used in construction projects and is valued at the lower of cost, using first-in, first-out method, or market. Uninstalled contract materials are certain job specific materials not yet installed, primarily for highway construction projects, which are valued using the specific identification method relating the cost incurred to a specific project. In most cases, the Company is able to invoice a state agency for the materials, but title has not yet passed to the state agency.

Note 3—Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. The comprehensive new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and require revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption would require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, information about contract balances and performance obligations, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.  The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. For the Company, the new standard is currently effective January 1, 2017; however, the FASB recently issued a proposal that, when finalized, would defer the effective date for us to January 1, 2018.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adoption and the implementation approach to be used.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendment to the Consolidation Analysis” which amends existing consolidation guidance, including amending the guidance related to determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, although early adoption is permitted. The guidance may be applied using a modified retrospective approach whereby the entity records a cumulative effect of adoption at the beginning of the fiscal year of initial application. A reporting entity may also apply the amendments on a full retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this authoritative guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)” to address the diversity in practice in determining when there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and when and how an entity must disclose certain relevant conditions and events. This update requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). If such conditions or events exist, an entity should disclose that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued), along with the principal conditions or events that raise substantial doubt, management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations and management’s plans that are intended to mitigate those conditions or events. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods ending after December 15, 2016. This guidance will impact the disclosure and presentation of how we report any substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, if such substantial doubt were to exist. The Company will adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2017.

Note 4—Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC Topic 820 addresses fair value GAAP for financial assets and financial liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period and for non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are “unobservable data points” for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

10

Table of Contents

The following table presents, for each of the fair value hierarchy levels identified under ASC Topic 820, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Short-term investments consist primarily of U.S. Treasury bills with various financial institutions that are backed by the federal government.

Other financial instruments of the Company not listed in the table consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities. These financial instruments generally approximate fair value based on their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value based on comparison with current prevailing market rates for loans of similar risks and maturities.

The following table provides changes to the Company’s contingent consideration liability Level 3 fair value measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses the estimated fair value of the contractual obligation to pay the contingent consideration and any changes in estimated fair value are recorded as other non-operating expense or income in the Company’s statement of income.  Fluctuations in the fair value of contingent consideration are impacted by two unobservable inputs, management’s estimate of the probability (which has ranged from 33% to 100%) of the acquired company meeting the contractual operating performance target and an estimated discount rate (a rate that approximates the Company’s cost of capital). Significant changes in either of those inputs in isolation would result in a different fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption of the probability of meeting the performance target is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the fair value of contingent consideration liability, whereas a change in assumption used of the estimated discount rate is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the fair value of contingent consideration liability.

Note 7—Equity Method Investments

Alvah, Inc.

As part of its acquisition of Q3C in November 2012, the Company acquired a 49% membership interest in Alvah, Inc., a California corporation (“Alvah”).  Alvah was engaged in electrical contracting activities, primarily in Northern California, and has worked as a subcontractor for ARB both prior to and subsequent to the Q3C acquisition.

On February 5, 2014, the majority owner of Alvah, in accordance with the original investment agreement, elected to purchase the Company’s minority interest effective January 1, 2014 for a cash payment of $1,189.  At the time of the transaction, the Company recorded income adjustments of $14 related to the final sale in the first quarter of 2014.

Note 8 — Business Combinations

On February 28, 2015, the Company acquired Aevenia, Inc. (“Aevenia”) for approximately $23 million in cash. Aevenia has been re-branded as Primoris AV, Energy and Electrical Construction Corporation (“Primoris AV”), and operates as part of Primoris’ Energy segment. Headquartered in Moorhead, Minnesota, Primoris AV is an energy and electrical construction company. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Primoris AV generated operating income of $4.2 million on revenues of $44.4 million. The estimated value of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date included $4.0 million in current assets, $2.3 million in current liabilities, plant and equipment of $11.2 million and $9.3 million in intangible assets and goodwill. The Company has temporarily included the $9.3 million value as part of goodwill at March 31, 2015. Due to the short period of time between the acquisition date and this report, the estimated values are preliminary and subject to change.

Primoris AV specializes in overhead and underground line work, substations, telecom/fiber, and certain other client-specific on-demand call out services. The majority of their work is delivered under unit-price Master Services Agreements (“MSAs”). Primoris AV has operations in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa. The Company believes there are opportunities for Primoris AV to grow sales by performing in-house work for other Primoris subsidiaries and to expand the Company’s offerings to new geographies in the Midwest.

Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Information for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

The following pro forma information for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 presents the results of operations of the Company as if the Primoris AV acquisition and the 2014 acquisitions of Vadnais, Surber, Ram-Fab and Williams had all occurred at the beginning of 2014. The supplemental pro forma information has been adjusted to include:

·                                          the pro forma impact of amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of property, plant and equipment, based on the purchase price allocations;

Note 11—Credit Arrangements

Revolving Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had a revolving credit facility, as amended on December 12, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”) with The PrivateBank and Trust Company, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and co-lead arranger, The Bank of the West, as co-lead arranger, and IBERIABANK Corporation, Branch Banking and Trust Company and UMB Bank, N.A. (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement is a $125 million revolving credit facility whereby the Lenders agree to make loans on a revolving basis from time to time and to issue letters of credit for up to the $125 million committed amount. The termination date of the Credit Agreement is December 28, 2017.

The principal amount of any loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at either: (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin as specified in the Credit Agreement (based on the Company’s senior debt to EBITDA ratio as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement), or (ii) the Base Rate (which is the greater of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or (b) the prime rate as announced by the Administrative Agent). Quarterly non-use fees, letter of credit fees and administrative agent fees are payable at rates specified in the Credit Agreement.

The principal amount of any loan drawn under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid in whole or in part, with a minimum prepayment of $5 million, at any time, potentially subject to make-whole provisions.

The Credit Agreement includes customary restrictive covenants for facilities of this type, as discussed below.

Commercial letters of credit outstanding were $3,620 at March 31, 2015 and $4,659 at December 31, 2014.  Other than commercial letters of credit, there were no borrowings under this line of credit during the three months ended March 31, 2015, and available borrowing capacity at March 31, 2015 was $121,380.

Senior Secured Notes and Shelf Agreement

On December 28, 2012, the Company entered into a $50 million Senior Secured Notes purchase (“Senior Notes”) and a $25 million private shelf agreement (the “Notes Agreement”) by and among the Company, The Prudential Investment Management, Inc. and certain Prudential affiliates (the “Noteholders”).

The Senior Notes amount was funded on December 28, 2012. The Senior Notes are due December 28, 2022 and bear interest at an annual rate of 3.65%, paid quarterly in arrears. Annual principal payments of $7.1 million are required from December 28, 2016 through December 28, 2021 with a final payment due on December 28, 2022. The principal amount may be prepaid, with a minimum prepayment of $5 million, at any time, subject to make-whole provisions.

On July 25, 2013, the Company drew the full $25 million available under the Notes Agreement.  The notes are due July 25, 2023 and bear interest at an annual rate of 3.85% paid quarterly in arrears.  Seven annual principal payments of $3.6 million are required from July 25, 2017 with a final payment due on July 25, 2023.

Loans made under both the Credit Agreement and the Notes Agreement are secured by our assets, including, among others, our cash, inventory, goods, equipment (excluding equipment subject to permitted liens) and accounts receivable. All of our domestic subsidiaries have issued joint and several guaranties in favor of the Lenders and Noteholders for all amounts under the Credit Agreement and Notes Agreement.

Both the Credit Agreement and the Notes Agreement contain various restrictive and financial covenants including among others, minimum tangible net worth, senior debt/EBITDA ratio, debt service coverage requirements and a minimum balance for unencumbered net book value for fixed assets. In addition, the agreements include restrictions on investments, change of control provisions and provisions in the event the Company disposes more than 20% of its total assets.

The Company was in compliance with the covenants for the Credit Agreement and Notes Agreement at March 31, 2015.

Note 12 — Noncontrolling Interests

The Company determined that the Blythe joint venture was a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and that the Company was the primary beneficiary as a result of its significant influence over the joint venture operations.

The Blythe joint venture operating activities are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income as follows for the three months ended March 31:

Since Blythe is a partnership, no tax effect was recognized for the income.  Blythe made no distributions in 2015 and made distributions of $1,125 to the non-controlling interests and $1,125 to the Company during the three months ending March 31, 2014. There were no capital contributions made during the year ended December 31, 2014 or through the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The carrying values of the assets and liabilities associated with the operations of the Blythe joint venture are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and were immaterial at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015. The project has been completed and following the end of the project warranty period in May 2015, Blythe will be terminated.

Note 13 — Contingent Earnout Liabilities

In March 2014, the Company paid $5,000 to the sellers of Q3C based on achievement of the 2013 operating performance targets. The sellers were paid an additional $5,000 in March 2015 based on achieving an operating performance target for the calendar year 2014.

In June 2014, the Company acquired the assets of Vadnais Company for $6,354 in cash plus an earnout of $900, with $450 payable in 2015 and $450 payable in 2016, contingent upon meeting a certain performance targets for each of the two years.  The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date was $679.

During the third quarter 2014, the Company made three small purchases totaling $8.2 million in cash for the net assets of Surber Roustabout, LLC, Ram-Fab, LLC and Williams Testing, LLC.  The Surber purchase provided a contingent earnout amount of up to $1.8 million over a 3-year period, which had an estimated fair value of $1.0 million on the acquisition date.  The Ram-Fab purchase included a $0.2 million contingent earnout based on estimated earnings of a six-month operating project.

Note 15—Stock-Based Compensation

On May 3, 2013, the Board of Directors granted 100,000 Restricted Stock Units (“Units”) to an executive under the 2013 Long-term Incentive Equity Plan (the “Equity Plan”).  Commencing annually on May 10, 2014 and ending April 30, 2017, the Units will vest in four equal installments subject to continuing employment of the executive.  On May 10, 2014, 25,000 of these Units vested.  On March 24, 2014, the Board of Directors granted 48,512 Units to another executive under the Equity Plan.  The Units will vest 50% on September 23, 2015 and 50% on March 23, 2017, subject to continuing employment of the executive.  Vesting in both grants is also subject to earlier acceleration, termination, cancellation or forfeiture as provided in the underlying Primoris Restricted Stock Unit agreement (“RSU Award Agreement”).  Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock when vested.

Under guidance of ASC Topic 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation”, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the date of grant (utilizing the prior-day closing price), based on the calculated fair value of the stock-based award, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award).

The fair value of the Units was based on the closing market price of our common stock on the day prior to the date of the grant.  Stock compensation expense for the Units is being amortized using the straight-line method over the service period.  For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $262 and $137, respectively, in compensation expense.  At March 31, 2015, approximately $2.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense remains for the Units, which will be recognized over the next 2.1 years through April 30, 2017.

Vested Units accrue “Dividend Equivalents” (as defined in the Equity Plan) which will be accrued as additional Units.  At March 31, 2015, there were 168 Dividend Equivalent Units that were accrued on 25,000 Units that vested on April 30, 2014.

Note 16—Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 for both income before taxes and noncontrolling interests and for income attributable to Primoris is 38.69%.  The rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to state income taxes, the “Domestic Production Activity Deduction” and nondeductible meals and incidental per diems common in the construction industry.

To determine its quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rate from quarter to quarter.  The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as an income tax expense.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of enactment date.

In the third quarter of 2014, the Internal Revenue Service concluded an examination of our federal income tax returns for 2011 and 2012 which did not have a material impact on our financial statements. The Company’s federal income tax returns are no longer subject to examination for tax years before 2013. The statutes of limitation of state and foreign jurisdictions vary generally between 3 to 5 years. Accordingly, the tax years 2009 through 2013 generally remain open to examination by the other taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

Note 17—Dividends and Earnings Per Share

The Company has paid or declared cash dividends during 2015 as follows:

Note 18—Stockholders’ Equity

Common stock — In March 2015, the Company received $1,621 for 96,257 shares of common stock purchased under a long-term incentive plan.  The Company’s Long-Term Retention Plan (“LTR Plan”) for managers and executives allows participants to use a portion of their annual bonus amount to purchase Company common stock at a discount from the market price. The shares purchased in March 2015 were for bonus amounts earned in 2014 and the number of shares was calculated at 75% of the average market closing price for the month of December 2014.  In March 2014, the Company received $1,671 for 77,455 shares of common stock issued under the LTR Plan for bonus amounts earned in the prior year.

In March 2015 and 2014, the Company issued 8,168 shares and 6,375 shares of common stock, respectively, as part of the quarterly compensation of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors.

As discussed in Note 15 — “Stock Based Compensation”, the Board of Directors has granted a total of 148,512 shares of Units under the Equity Plan.

In February 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company, from time to time and depending on certain conditions, could purchase up to $23 million in Company stock.  During the three months ending March 31, 2014, the Company did not purchase any shares of stock. The share repurchase program expired on December 31, 2014.

Note 19—Commitments and Contingencies

Leases — The Company leases certain property and equipment under non-cancellable operating leases which expire at various dates through 2019. The leases require the Company to pay all taxes, insurance, maintenance and utilities and are classified as operating leases in accordance with ASC Topic 840 “Leases”.

Total lease expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $4,144 and $3,637, respectively, including amounts paid to related parties of $360 and $380, respectively.

Letters of credit — At March 31, 2015, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $5,601 and at December 31, 2014, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $6,864.  The outstanding amounts include the U.S. dollar equivalents for letters of credit issued in Canadian dollars.

Litigation — On February 7, 2012, the Company was sued in an action entitled North Texas Tollway Authority, Plaintiff v. James Construction Group, LLC, and KBR, Inc., Defendants, v. Reinforced Earth Company, Third-Party Defendant (the “Lawsuit”). The Company participated in court-ordered mediation for 18 months, and on February 25, 2015 the Lawsuit was settled for an expected cost to the Company of $9 million.

At March 31, 2015, the Company is engaged in dispute resolution to enforce collection for two construction projects completed by the Company in 2014.  For one project, a cost reimbursable contract, the Company has recorded a receivable of $32.9 million, and for the other project, the Company has recorded a receivable of $29.7 million, and received $11.2 million of the amount due in April 2015. At March 31, 2015, the Company has not recorded revenues in excess of cost for these two projects; however, the Company has specific reserves for both projects of approximately $29 million included in “billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings.” At this time, the Company cannot predict the amount that it will collect nor the timing of any collection.

Table of Contents

The Company is subject to other claims and legal proceedings arising out of its business. The Company provides for costs related to contingencies when a loss from such claims is probable and the amount is reasonably determinable. In determining whether it is possible to provide an estimate of loss, or range of possible loss, the Company reviews and evaluates its 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 other 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 defense 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 the consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows of the Company.

Bonding— At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had bid and completion bonds issued and outstanding totaling approximately $1,423,744 and $1,518,018, respectively.

Withdrawal liability for multiemployer pension plan — In November 2011, Rockford and ARB, along with other members of the Pipe Line Contractors Association (“PLCA”), withdrew from the Central States Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund multiemployer pension plan (the “Plan”). The Company withdrew from the Plan in order to mitigate its liability in connection with the Plan, which is significantly underfunded. The Company recorded a liability of $7,500 based on information provided by the Plan. However, the Plan has asserted that the PLCA members did not affect a proper withdrawal in 2011. The Company believes that a legally effective withdrawal occurred in November 2011 and has recorded the withdrawal liability on that basis. In May 2014, the Plan asserted that the liability was $11.7 million. Without agreeing to the amount and while initiating an appeal, the Company has made monthly payments, which are being expensed, including interest, totaling $1,008 through March 31, 2015.

Prior to the Company’s acquisition, Q3C had also withdrawn from the Plan. In November 2012, Q3C estimated a withdrawal liability of $85. In the first quarter of 2013, the Plan asserted that the liability was $119. Without agreeing to the amount, Q3C has made monthly payments, including interest, totaling $34 through March 31, 2015.

Contingent Consideration — Earnouts related to acquisitions are discussed in Note 13 — “Contingent Earnout Liabilities”.

Introduction

Primoris is a holding company of various subsidiaries, which form one of the larger publicly traded specialty contractors and infrastructure companies in the United States. Serving diverse end-markets, we provide a wide range of construction, fabrication, maintenance, replacement, water and wastewater, and engineering services to major public utilities, petrochemical companies, energy companies, municipalities, state departments of transportation and other customers. We install, replace, repair and rehabilitate natural gas, refined product, water and wastewater pipeline systems; large diameter gas and liquid pipeline facilities; and heavy civil projects, earthwork and site development. We also construct mechanical facilities and other structures, including power plants, petrochemical facilities, refineries, water and wastewater treatment facilities and parking structures. Finally, we provide specialized process and product engineering services.

Historically, we have longstanding relationships with major utility, refining, petrochemical, power and engineering companies. We have completed major underground and industrial projects for a number of large natural gas transmission and petrochemical companies in the western United States, as well as significant projects for our engineering customers. We enter into a large number of contracts each year and the projects can vary in length — from several weeks, to as long as 48 months for completion on larger projects. Although we have not been dependent upon any one customer in any year, a small number of customers tend to constitute a substantial portion of our total revenues.

Generally, we recognize revenues and profitability on our contracts depending on the type of contract. For our fixed price, or lump sum, contracts, we record revenue as the work progresses on a percentage-of-completion basis which means that we recognize revenue based on the percentage of costs incurred to date in proportion to the total estimated costs expected to complete the contract.  Fixed price contracts may include retainage provisions under which customers withhold a percentage of the contract price until the project is complete.  For our unit price and cost-plus contracts, we generally recognize revenue as units are completed or services are performed.

In the third quarter 2014, we reorganized our business segments to match the change in the Company’s internal organization and management structure. The segment changes during the quarter reflect the focus of our new chief operating officer on the services we provide to our energy related customers, primarily in the Gulf Coast area (the “Energy segment”) and a continuing geographic view for the West and East segments. The chief operating officer regularly reviews our operating performance based on these revised segments. The operating segments now include: The West Construction Services segment (“West segment”), which is unchanged from the previous segment, the East Construction Services segment (“East segment”), which is realigned from the previous East Construction Services segment and the Energy segment (which includes the previous Engineering segment).  All prior period amounts related to the segment change have been retrospectively reclassified throughout this First Quarter 2015 Report to conform to the new presentation.  The following is a brief description of each of our reportable segments and business activities.

Table of Contents

The West segment includes the underground and industrial operations and construction services performed by ARB, ARB Structures, Inc., Rockford, Alaska Continental Pipeline, Inc., Q3C, Primoris Renewables, LLC, Juniper Rock Corporation, and Vadnais, acquired in June 2014. Most of the entities perform work primarily in California; however, Rockford operates throughout the United States and Q3C operates in Colorado and the upper Midwest United States.  The Blythe joint venture is also included as a part of the segment.  The West segment consists of businesses headquartered primarily in the western United States.

The East segment includes our JCG Heavy Civil division, the JCG Infrastructure and Maintenance division, BW Primoris and Cardinal Contractors, Inc. construction business, located primarily in the southeastern United States and in the Gulf Coast region of the United States and includes the heavy civil construction and infrastructure and maintenance operations.

The Energy segment businesses are located primarily in the southeastern United States, the Gulf Coast region and the upper Midwest region of the United States.  The segment includes the PES pipeline and gas facility construction and maintenance operations, the JCG Industrial division, the Surber and Ram-Fab divisions and the newly acquired operations of Primoris AV. Additionally, the segment includes the OnQuest, Inc. and OnQuest Canada, ULC operations for the design and installation of LNG facilities and high-performance furnaces and heaters for the oil refining, petrochemical and power generation industries.

The following table lists the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries and their current and prior operating segment:

The Company owns 50% of the Blythe Power Constructors joint venture (“Blythe”) created for the installation of a parabolic trough solar field and steam generation system in California, and its operations are included as part of the West Construction Services segment.  The Company determined that in accordance with FASB Topic 810, the Company was the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and has consolidated the results of Blythe in its financial statements.  The project has been completed and the project warranty will expire in May 2015 at which time the Company will terminate Blythe.

In January 2014, the Company created a wholly owned subsidiary, BW Primoris, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“BWP”). BWP’s goal is to develop water projects, primarily in Texas, that will need the Company’s construction services.  On January 22, 2014, BWP entered into an agreement to purchase the assets and business of Blaus Wasser, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, for approximately $5 million.  During the first quarter of 2014, BWP entered into an intercompany construction contract with Cardinal Contractors, Inc. to build a small water treatment facility which will be owned by BWP.  When the treatment facility is completed, the facility will generate revenues through a take-or-pay contract with a West Texas municipal entity.  All intercompany revenue and profit of the project have been eliminated, and at March 31, 2015, a total of $13.4 million has been capitalized as property, plant and equipment.

In May 2014, the Company created a wholly owned subsidiary, Vadnais Trenchless Services, Inc., a California company (“Vadnais”), which on June 5, 2014, purchased the assets of Vadnais Corporation for $6.4 million. Vadnais is a general contractor specializing in micro-tunneling. The assets purchased were primarily equipment, buildings and land. The purchase included a contingent earnout on meeting certain operating targets.

During the third quarter 2014, the Company made three small purchases totaling $8.2 million to acquire the net assets of Surber Roustabout, LLC (“Surber”), Ram-Fab, LLC (“Ram-Fab”) and Williams Testing, LLC (“Williams”). Surber and Ram-Fab operate as divisions of PES, and Williams has been integrated into Cardinal Contractors, Inc. Surber provides general oil and gas related construction activities in Texas; Ram-Fab is a fabricator of custom piping systems located in Arkansas; and Williams provides construction services related to sewer pipeline maintenance, rehabilitation and integrity testing in the Florida market.

On February 28, 2015, the Company acquired Aevenia, Inc. (“Aevenia”) for approximately $23 million in cash. Aevenia has been re-branded as Primoris AV, Energy and Electrical Construction Corporation (“Primoris AV”), and operates as part of Primoris’ Energy segment. For the year ended December 31, 2014, Primoris AV generated operating income of $4.2 million on revenues of $44.4 million. The estimated value of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date included $4.0 million in current assets, $2.3 million in current liabilities, plant and equipment of $11.2 million and $9.3 million in intangible assets and goodwill. Due to the short period of time between the acquisition date and this report, the estimated values are preliminary and subject to change.

Headquartered in Moorhead, Minnesota, Primoris AV is an energy and electrical construction company that specializes in overhead and underground line work, substations, telecom/fiber, and certain other client-specific on-demand call out services. The majority of their work is delivered under unit-price Master Services Agreements (“MSAs”). Primoris AV has operations in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa. The Company believes there are opportunities for Primoris AV to grow sales by performing in-house work for other Primoris subsidiaries and to expand the Company’s offerings to new geographies in the Midwest.

For some end markets we perform the same services in each of the West, East and Energy segments, while for other end markets, such as poured-in-place parking structures or turn-around services, only one of our segments currently serves the market.  The following table shows the approximate percentage of revenues derived from our major end-markets, with prior periods conformed to the current year market breakdown:

Material trends and uncertainties

We generate our revenue from both large and small construction and engineering projects. The award of these contracts is dependent on many factors, most of which are not within our control. We depend in part on spending by companies in the energy and oil and gas industries, the gas utility industry, as well as municipal water and wastewater customers. Over the past several years, each segment has benefited from demand for more efficient and more environmentally friendly energy and power facilities, local highway and bridge needs and from the strength of the oil and gas industry; however, each of these industries and the government agencies periodically are adversely affected by macroeconomic conditions. Economic factors outside of our control may affect the amount and size of contracts we are awarded in any particular period.

We closely monitor our customers to assess the effect that changes in economic, market and regulatory conditions may have on them. We have experienced reduced spending by some of our customers over the last several years, which we attribute to negative economic and market conditions, and we anticipate that these negative conditions may continue to affect demand for our services in the near-term.  Fluctuations in market prices of oil, gas and other fuel sources can affect demand for our services. The recent significant reduction in the price of oil has created uncertainty with respect to demand for our oil and gas pipeline and roustabout services in the near term, with additional uncertainty resulting over the length of time that prices will remain depressed. When the current oversupply eases and with the continuing global demand increases for oil, oil prices would expect to recover from the current levels. We believe that while the construction of gathering lines within the oil shale formations may remain at lower levels for an extended period, the need for pipeline infrastructure for mid-stream companies will result in a continuing need for our services over time. The continuing changes in the regulatory environment also can affect the demand for our services, either by increasing our work or delaying projects. For example, the regulatory environment in California may well result in delays for the construction of gas-fired power plants while the regulators continue to search for significant renewable resources. However, we believe that regulated utility customers will continue to invest in the maintenance and replacement services provided by us.

Seasonality and cyclicality

Our results of operations are subject to quarterly variations. Some of the variation is the result of weather, particularly rain and snow, which can impact our ability to perform construction services. While the majority of the Company’s work is in the southern half of the United States, these seasonal impacts affect revenues and profitability since gas and other utilities defer routine replacement and repair during their period of peak demand. 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 tends to be lower during the early part of the year due to clients’ internal budget cycles. As a result, the Company usually experiences higher revenues and earnings in the third and fourth quarters of the year as compared to the first two quarters.

The Company is also dependent on large construction projects which tend not to be seasonal, but can fluctuate from year to year based on 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 our business, the financial results for any period may fluctuate from prior periods, and the Company’s financial condition and operating results may vary from quarter-to-quarter. Results from one quarter may not be indicative of its financial condition or operating results for any other quarter or for an entire year.
