Risk Overview Q3, 2025
Risk Change Over Time
- Capital Markets - Risk 1Recent tariff and trade actions by the United States and other countries could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The U.S. government recently announced significant trade policy and tariff actions on imports from a broad set of countries, including Canada, Mexico, European Union member states, Japan, Germany and China, in response to which many countries have announced retaliatory trade actions, including tariffs on U.S. exports. These actions have increased the cost of importing certain construction materials into the United States, including steel, concrete and solar panels, and have caused disruption and uncertainty to both international trade and supply chains, as well as financial markets. The duration, extent and effects of these tariffs and trade actions cannot be predicted with certainty but these and other trade policies could increase costs of key construction equipment and components thereof, as well as materials required for our customers' projects (including steel, concrete, copper and solar panels), which could cause our customers to reconsider or reduce their capital expenditures. In addition, economic experts and policy makers have cautioned that prolonged disruptions to global trade from tariffs and other trade actions could increase inflation, which could also affect our customers' capital spending plans and demand for our services. Accordingly, these trade actions and the widespread uncertainty and international tensions resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, effects on interest rates and on the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies, could materially and adversely harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 35
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Our articles of incorporation and certain provisions of Florida law contain anti-takeover provisions that may make it more difficult to effect a change in our control.
Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation, by-laws and the Florida Business Corporation Act could delay or prevent an acquisition or change in control and the replacement of our incumbent directors and management, even if doing so might be beneficial to our shareholders by providing them with the opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over the then market price of our common stock. For example, our Board of Directors is divided into three classes. At any annual meeting of our shareholders, our shareholders only have the right to appoint approximately one-third of the directors on our Board of Directors. Consequently, it would take at least two annual shareholder meetings to effect a change in control of our Board of Directors, which could discourage hostile takeover bids. In addition, our articles of incorporation authorize our Board of Directors, without further shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock could dilute the voting power of holders of our common stock, including the granting of voting control to others, which could delay or prevent an acquisition or change in control.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2A small number of our existing shareholders have the ability to influence major corporate decisions.
Jorge Mas, our Chairman, and José R. Mas, our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owned approximately 23% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of December 31, 2024. Accordingly, they are in a position to influence the vote of most matters submitted to our shareholders, including any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the nomination of individuals to our Board of Directors, and a change in our control. These factors could discourage, delay or prevent a takeover attempt that shareholders might consider in their best interests or that might result in shareholders receiving a premium for their common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3The market price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, highly volatile.
The market price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange has been volatile in recent years. We may continue to experience significant volatility in the market price of our common stock. Numerous factors could have a significant effect on the price of our common stock, including: announcements of fluctuations in our operating results, our expectations of future operating results or the operating results of our competitors; market conditions in our customers' industries, including the capital spending plans of our significant customers; announcements of new or terminated customers or contracts; announcements of acquisitions by us or our competitors; volatility in energy and fuel prices; the effects of climate-related matters; changes in recommendations or earnings estimates by securities analysts; announcements of share repurchase programs, or activity under existing repurchase programs; and issuances of our common stock or other securities, including in connection with acquisition or financing transactions. In addition, the stock market continues to experience significant volatility, which can sometimes be unrelated or disproportionate to operating performance. Volatility in the market price of our common stock could cause shareholders to lose some or all of their investment in our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4There may be future sales of our common stock or other dilution of our equity that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could dilute the ownership interests of our shareholders and/or lead to volatility in our common stock price.
We are not restricted from issuing additional common stock. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that we may issue up to a total 145.0 million shares of common stock, of which approximately 79.3 million shares were outstanding as of December 31, 2024. We grow our business organically as well as through acquisition. Occasionally, we may issue shares of stock as consideration in our acquisitions, and, typically, we have the option to issue shares of our common stock as consideration for future earn-out obligations. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock in connection with future acquisitions, financing transactions, share-based payment awards or other issuances of our common stock would dilute the ownership interest of our common shareholders. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock or other equity-related securities in the public market could depress the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our common stock or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of our common stock.
