"Our results this quarter were largely impacted by unfavorable non-cash adjustments related to legacy disputes," said Frank Renda, Southland's President & Chief Executive Officer. "Despite that impact, we continue to work toward finalizing a comprehensive financing agreement and credit amendment with our surety partners, and we're encouraged by their continued support and the confidence they've shown in our strategic plan. At the same time, we remain focused on capturing new opportunities in our core markets — most recently reflected in the Winnipeg North End Sewage Treatment Plant award we announced in July, which reinforces the strength of our core business as we work through this transition."

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $113.3 million, a decrease of $102.1 million, or 47.4%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. Materials & Paving business contributed $11.7 million to revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease in revenue is primarily due to unfavorable changes in estimates related to certain unresolved contract modifications and claims. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we performed a comprehensive reassessment of expected recoverability of claims on several projects, including substantially completed projects, in light of recent developments and updated information available regarding the timing and amount of potential recoveries. As a result of this reassessment, we reduced the estimated value of certain claims and recorded cumulative catch-up adjustment that negatively impacted revenue and gross profit for the quarter of $102.3 million and $93.6 million, respectively.

Gross loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $71.2 million compared to gross profit of $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Gross margin decreased from 6.0% to (62.9)% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. Materials & Paving business negatively impacted gross profit by $16.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Selling, general, and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2026, were $16.7 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 23.1%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. Selling, general, and administrative costs as a percent of revenue were 14.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 6.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain unaudited financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including but not limited to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), backlog, and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. Note that other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore such financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. Southland believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to Southland’s financial condition and results of operations. Southland also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which items of expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures.

Please see the accompanying table for reconciliations of the following non-GAAP financial measures for Southland’s current and historical results: EBITDA (non-GAAP financial measures) to net income (loss) attributable to common stock.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains, and Southland’s officers and representatives may from time to time make, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as "believe," "continue," "expect," "may," "plan," "future," "will," "would," and similar references to future periods. Forward-looking statements may include, among others, statements regarding Southland’s future business, plans, strategies, operating results, financial condition, liquidity, backlog, bonding capacity, project performance, claims recoveries, litigation and dispute resolution, financing arrangements, surety support, capital resources, market conditions and other anticipated events or trends. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on Southland’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of Southland’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of Southland’s control. Southland’s actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements.

Important factors that could cause Southland’s actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others: Southland’s ability to meet liquidity needs and maintain adequate working capital; its ability to comply with, refinance or otherwise address obligations under its debt and surety arrangements; its ability to maintain adequate bonding capacity; the timing and ultimate recoverability of claims, change orders, contract modifications and contract assets; the outcome of pending or future litigation and project disputes; risks that backlog or remaining performance obligations may be delayed, reduced, cancelled or not converted into revenue as expected; risks associated with fixed-price construction contracts, cost estimates, margin pressure, project execution and cost overruns; weather, labor, materials, supply-chain, inflation, tariff and trade-related impacts; general economic conditions; the availability and terms of additional financing; Southland’s ability to maintain the listing of its securities; and other factors discussed in Southland’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed with or furnished to the SEC.

Any forward-looking statement made by Southland in this press release or on the related conference call is based only on information currently available to Southland and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Southland undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.
