OUR
HISTORY |
| | | | |
| | | | | |||||||||
| | | | |
The Company’s roots go back to 1960 with the founding of ARB, Inc., a Bakersfield, California, pipeline construction company. ARB, Inc. met the growing demand for energy infrastructure that accompanied the mid-century oil boom in the west and quickly established a reputation for great quality and reliability. ARB, Inc.’s work and reputation fueled significant growth and laid the foundation for Primoris, which is today one of the largest infrastructure contractors in the country.
Primoris was formed in 2003 and it became a Delaware public company in July 2008 when it merged with a special purpose acquisition company (a non-operating shell company). Since that time, the Company has grown organically and through strategic acquisitions, which has allowed it to expand its service capabilities and geographic footprint. Primoris trades on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol PRIM.

OUR
PEOPLE |
| | | | |
| | | | | | | | ||||||
| | | | |
Because Primoris believes that its employees are the most valuable resource in successfully completing its projects, the Company employs a dynamic mix of people to create the strongest company possible. As of December 31, 2024, Primoris employed 3,074 salaried employees and 12,642 hourly employees. (The total number of hourly personnel employed varies based on the volume of work in progress.)
One of Primoris’ core values is to provide a safe and healthy workplace for its people. Safety performance is the direct responsibility of all members of management, and employees receive the appropriate training, equipment, and other resources necessary to complete assigned tasks in a safe and efficient manner.
Additionally, all of our employees are subject to our Code of Conduct, which includes guidance and requirements concerning, among other things, general business ethics, including policies concerning the environment, conflicts of interest, anti-corruption, harassment and discrimination, data security and privacy, related party transactions, insider trading and the Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy, which includes guidance and requirements concerning, among other things, interactions with government officials; provision of gifts, entertainment and hospitality; and charitable and political contributions.

2025 PROXY STATEMENT | PRIMORIS | 3 |
|
Primoris finished 2024 with record highs for annual revenue, earnings, backlog and cash flow from operations. These results demonstrate that we have positioned the Company as a premier solutions provider with a broad geographic footprint and technical expertise to meet the growing demand for the expansion and modernization of infrastructure in North America.
|
|
|
Our Utilities segment revenue was up slightly as Master Service Agreement (“MSA”) revenue grew approximately 10 percent from the prior year. However, gross profit and margin were up significantly from 2023 driven by an active storm year, particularly in the second half of the year and improved efficiency and productivity in our power delivery business. The Energy segment had another robust year of renewables growth for utility-scale solar projects and an increase in natural gas generation opportunities that were partially offset by lower activity in pipeline.
|
|
|
During the year we were awarded over $7.7 billion of work which resulted in ending the year with $11.9 billion of total backlog, an increase of approximately 9 percent from year end 2023. This includes fixed backlog of $6.1 billion and master service agreement (“MSA”) backlog of $5.8 billion. These awards came across many of our businesses and have positioned the Company well for continued growth in 2025.
|
|
|
The Company’s full year net income was $188.1 million, or $3.31 per fully diluted share, an increase of 43% from 2023 driven by higher operating income and lower interest expense due to lower average debt balances and lower interest rates. Another highlight of 2024 was generating over $500 million of operating cash flow, an increase of more than $300 million from the prior year.

SUSTAINABILITY
|
| | | | | |
| |
We are committed to reducing or eliminating negative environmental impacts wherever practicable. More than that, we are actively seeking projects that contribute to a lower-carbon future. In 2024, this included $2.4 billion in new solar projects awarded with targeted completions over the next few years. These awards helped us to finish the year with approximately $3.1 billion in solar backlog that has us well-positioned to meet the high demand for our solar services. We employ a sustainability framework that helps our renewables customers track and measure the environmental impact of projects which includes third-party certification.
In terms of our own environmental impacts, we have implemented energy- efficient technology in many of our facilities.
Regulation and Environmental Requirements. Our operations are subject to compliance with regulatory requirements of federal, state, and municipal agencies and authorities, and international laws and regulations including with respect to: Protection of the environment, including regulations established by the Environmental Protection Agency, state agencies and other foreign environmental regulators. We believe that we have all the licenses and permits required to conduct our operations and that we are in substantial compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. We manage these requirements through our corporate environmental management system and comprehensive employee training programs to ensure compliance. We continually evaluate whether we must take additional steps at our locations to ensure compliance with environmental laws.
Sustainable Practices. The need for renewable infrastructure has never been more crucial and we are proud to work with our clients on efforts to reduce emissions, create well-paying green jobs, and address environmental and social justice concerns. To track and measure our impact, our renewable energy business employs a sustainability framework, Envision, that provides a consensus-based structure for assessing sustainability, resiliency, and equity in civil infrastructure.
Examples of practices we employ onsite include:
•
Creating stormwater prevention plans to avoid waterway pollution
•
Protecting local biomes through revegetation using native seed mixes
•
Recycling or reusing construction waste and mulching appropriate material to provide natural erosion, dust, and water control
•
Utilizing existing grid infrastructure, solar-powered lights, and LEDs on our project trailers
•
Implementing our industry-leading safety program
•
Building relationships with local first responders and leaders to minimize impacts and best serve our communities

COMMUNITY
|
| | | | | |
| |
Our primary social responsibility focus areas include Occupational Health and Safety and Corporate Culture. Focusing on employee programs that address wellness, prosperity and quality of life creates a rewarding, engaging and inclusive workplace.
Safety, Health and Wellness. We are committed to the safety, health and wellness of our employees, and we pride ourselves on workplace safety. We track and maintain several key safety metrics, which senior management reviews monthly, and we evaluate management on their ability to provide safe working conditions on job sites and to create a strong safety culture. Lost Time Injury Rate (“LTIR”) tracks the rate of injuries in the workplace which results in the employee having to take a minimum of one full working day away from work. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our LTIR rate was 0.07 compared to an industry average of 1.00 per the most recent U.S. Bureau of Labor construction industry statistics. Total Recordable Incident Rate (“TRIR”) tracks the total number of workplace injuries which rise to the level of Occupational Safety and Health Administration recordability, whether leading to time away from work or not. TRIR is reported as the number of workplace safety incidents per 100 full-time workers during a one-year period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our TRIR rate was 0.50 compared to an industry average of 2.30 per the most recent U.S. Bureau of Labor construction industry statistics.
Compensation and Benefits. As part of our compensation philosophy, we believe that we must offer and maintain market competitive total rewards programs for our employees in order to attract and retain superior talent. Our compensation programs are generally designed to align employee compensation with market practices and our performance. With respect to our executive officers, business unit management, and other senior leadership, compensation programs consist of both fixed and variable components. The fixed portion is generally set at market levels, with variable compensation designed to reward employees based on Company and individual performance. In connection with these compensation programs, we grant stock-based compensation to management and key personnel at the business unit levels, which we believe helps to align incentives throughout our organization.
We also provide additional benefits to our non-union employees, including a Company matched 401(k) Plan, healthcare and insurance benefits, health savings and flexible spending accounts, paid time off, family leave, flexible work schedules, and employee assistance programs.
Professional and Career Development. We strive to develop and sustain a skilled labor advantage by providing thorough on-and off-site training programs, project management training, and leadership development programs. We have Company-owned training facilities that support continuous skills training, including several locations where we train electric apprentices to become journeymen. We offer multiple levels of leadership programs designed to meet the needs of our employees and support the development of best-in-class talent. Our five cornerstone programs are Foreman Foundations, Extreme Ownership, Hunt for Leadership Success, Next Level Leadership, and The Leadership Experience. From Foreman Foundations where employees learn the fundamentals of transitioning from a crew member to a crew leader through The Leadership Experience where emerging leaders explore values-based leadership and sharpen their strategic leadership skills, our Learning and Development programs are designed to support Primoris’ vision, mission, and values and promote the growth of our greatest assets, our employees.

Diversity and Inclusion. We employ a dynamic mix of people to create the strongest company possible. Our policy prohibits discrimination in employment based on age, culture, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, physical appearance, race or religion.
Supplier Development and Mentorship. Collaborating with suppliers enables us to find advanced technologies and new and unique processes, products, or services that help us run our business efficiently. Strategic alliances can open new doors and increase market share, advancing our position as a leader in the industry. Through the course of supplier development, Primoris has at times invested in, shared assets with, leased to, given favorable payment terms to, and created mutually exclusive strategic alliances with various disadvantage business enterprise suppliers. Our approach to supplier development is effective in building a resilient supply chain with suppliers that comply with our policies and procedures in addition to our customers’ procedures and requirements. This approach is the essence of our sustainable supply chain philosophy. The incentive supporting this philosophy is the mutual success of our customers, suppliers, and Primoris.
Mental Health Care. Our employees have 24/7/365 access to free, confidential, mental healthcare assistance from licensed clinicians to help resolve work-related pressures, depressions, stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, substance use or other emotional health concerns. To mitigate the risks of job burnout, employees are encouraged to take their well-earned vacation to spend time with their families, enjoy recreational activities and rest.

The Company has expanded and made updates to several of its corporate governance policies including its Code of Conduct and Human Rights Policy to include language on our Modern Slavery and Human Rights Trafficking Policy, its Security Steering Committee Charter and its Enterprise Risk Management Charter, all of which are available on the Company’s website.
Primoris has a multi-layered cybersecurity risk management program designed to identify and mitigate cyber risks to protect our proprietary information and ensure the trust of our customers and employees. We have several layers of protections in place, all overseen by our Security Steering Committee (“SSC”), with regular updates to the Executive Leadership Team and our Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has compliance oversight for matters of Information Technology security risks including cybersecurity risks. The Audit Committee is briefed quarterly by our Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) on our cybersecurity program, and both the Audit Committee and SSC are notified between such updates regarding significant new cybersecurity threats or incidents. The full Board of Directors also receives regular reports from the Audit Committee.
Primoris’ cybersecurity efforts are designed to ensure the safety and security of its customers and employees. The CIO chairs the SSC and oversees Primoris’ cybersecurity risk management program. The CIO is directly supported by the head of cybersecurity with relevant expertise and experience. The CIO and head of cybersecurity lead the strategy, establish the policies and maintain awareness of threats and vulnerabilities on an ongoing basis to prepare Primoris to address cybersecurity risks. Further, they educate employees regarding cybersecurity using security awareness training, security bulletins and phishing simulations to reinforce training on a quarterly basis. The Company’s Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) is distributed annually to employees for understanding and acknowledgement. The AUP and cybersecurity training are both made available to all network users through an online training portal.
The National Institute of Science and Technology (“NIST”) Cybersecurity Framework with a Capability Maturity Model Integration overlay is the basis of the Company’s cybersecurity program and determines its maturity. On a regular basis Primoris conducts vulnerability scans and penetration testing and works with multiple third parties to perform yearly baseline assessments of the cyber program that measures improvement and evaluates the Company’s incident response plan and related solutions. The assessment findings are then disclosed to the Audit Committee and SSC to identify areas for improvement and devise related action plans.

Separate
Chairman and CEO Roles |
| | |||
| | | | | | | |
| | | |
| | The Board historically has separated the roles of Chairman and CEO, with Mr. King serving as our Non-Executive Chairman of the Board since November 2019, when Mr. McCormick became our CEO, until March 2025 when Mr. King succeeded Mr. McCormick and assumed the role of Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. In May 2010, Mr. Cook was appointed by the Board as the Lead Independent Director, responsible for chairing the Board meetings in the absence of the Chairman, chairing executive sessions of the independent Directors, and acting as the principal liaison between the Chairman and the independent Directors. The Board believes it should have the flexibility to establish a leadership structure that works best for the Company at a particular time, and it reviews that structure from time to time, including in the context of changes in leadership, including in connection with Mr. McCormick’s separation from the Company in March 2025. The Board is of the view that its current leadership structure best serves the objective of effective Board oversight of management during this time of transition and allows Mr. King to leverage his experience to lead the Board and manage the Company while serving as Interim President and CEO. Following the appointment of a permanent CEO, we would expect to review the leadership structure at that time and likely return to separate Chairman and CEO roles. | | |

| | The Compensation Committee has the power to form subcommittees for any purpose that it deems appropriate and may delegate to such subcommittee such power and authority as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate, provided it does not delegate to a subcommittee any power or authority required by any law, regulation or listing standard to be exercised by the Compensation Committee as a whole. The Compensation Committee may consider the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer in determining the level of compensation of the executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain such independent consultants or advisers as it deems necessary and appropriate, including compensation consultants, to advise it with respect to amounts or forms of executive or Director compensation, and may rely on the integrity and advice of any such advisers.

| | The Compensation Committee engaged Meridian Compensation Partners (“Meridian”) as its independent advisor beginning in 2024. Prior to their engagement, Meridian did not perform any services for the Company. The Compensation Committee considered independence factors under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”) and NYSE rules and concluded that the work performed by Meridian did not present any conflicts of interest. As requested by the Compensation Committee, from time-to-time Meridian has advised and consulted with the Compensation Committee on compensation issues, compensation design and trends, and has kept the Compensation Committee apprised of regulatory, legislative, and accounting developments and competitive practices related to executive compensation. Meridian reviews compensation levels, trends and practices at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Meridian does not determine the exact amount or form of executive compensation for any executive officers. See “EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION—Compensation Discussion and Analysis”. Meridian reports directly to the Compensation Committee, and a representative of Meridian, when requested, attends meetings of the Compensation Committee, is available to participate in executive sessions and communicates directly with the Compensation Committee Chair or its members outside of meetings.

54 | PRIMORIS | 2025 PROXY STATEMENT |
| |
•
The Compensation Committee structures compensation at the senior management level to consist of both fixed and variable compensation. The base salaries of senior management are typically set at market levels and are designed to provide a steady income so that senior management does not feel pressured to focus exclusively on stock price performance to the detriment of other important business metrics. The variable portions of compensation are generally designed to reward both short-term and long-term performance as measured under several financial and operational performance metrics. Additionally, PSUs and RSUs generally vest over three years, which the Compensation Committee believes encourages senior management to focus on sustained stock appreciation and promotes retention. The Compensation Committee believes that the variable elements of compensation are a sufficient percentage of overall compensation to motivate short-term and long-term results, while the fixed element is also sufficient such that senior management is not encouraged to take unnecessary or excessive risks in doing so.
|
|
| |
•
The Compensation Committee believes the financial and operational performance measures for determining cash and equity awards earned under our incentive plans are aligned with the Company’s short-term and long-term operating and strategic plans and that the targets for those measures are set at appropriate levels that do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking.
|
|
| |
•
The Board has adopted stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers, which the Compensation Committee believes provide a considerable incentive for management to consider the Company’s long-term interests because a meaningful portion of their personal investment portfolio consists of the Company’s Common Stock.
|
|
| |
•
Individual awards are capped under our AIP, which the Compensation Committee believes mitigates excessive risk taking.
|
|
| |
•
The Company has a Clawback Policy that requires us to recover certain incentive compensation from executive officers for the achievement of certain Company financial results that were subsequently subject to a restatement.
