BOWMAN CONSULTING GROUP LTD.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (along with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Bowman” or “we” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on June 5, 1995 and reincorporated in the State of Delaware on November 13, 2020. The Company’s headquarters is located in Reston, VA and the Company has over 100 offices throughout the United States and two offices in Mexico. Bowman is a professional services firm delivering innovative solutions to the marketplace of customers who own, develop and maintain the built environment. Within that arena, we provide planning, design, engineering, geospatial, survey, construction management, environmental consulting and land procurement services to markets that encompass the buildings in which people live, work and learn in; as well as the systems that provide water, electricity and other vital services, and the roads, bridges, and transportation systems used to get from place to place. We provide services to customers through fixed-price and time-and-material based contracts containing multiple milestones and independently priced deliverables. Typically, contract awards are on a negotiated basis, ranging in value from a few thousand dollars to multiple millions of dollars and can have varying durations depending on the size, scope, and complexity of the project.
The Company’s workforce typically provides the full scope of engineering and other contract services. However, with respect to certain specialty services or other compliance requirements within a particular contract, we may engage third-party sub-consultants.
Common Stock Offering
On April 1, 2024, the Company closed on an offering of common stock in which it issued and sold 1,323,530 shares at an offering price of $34.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $42.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, but before expenses of the offering.
On April 1, 2024, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 179,412 shares of the Company’s common stock at an offering price of $34.00 per share, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $6.1 million. After giving effect to this exercise of the overallotment option, the total number of shares sold by the Company in this common stock offering increased to 1,502,942 shares with gross proceeds of approximately $51.1 million. The exercise of the over-allotment option closed on April 1, 2024, at which time the Company received net proceeds of $5.7 million after underwriting discounts and commissions.
Deferred offering costs consist primarily of accounting, legal and other fees related to the common stock offering. Prior to the offering, all deferred costs were capitalized within prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. We capitalized $0.2 million of deferred offering costs within prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. No deferred offering costs were capitalized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows. The results of operations for the current period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or the results for any future periods.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies and principles used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements:
Emerging Growth Company
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or, an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Revenue Recognition
As discussed in Note 1, the Company provides a variety of engineering and related professional services to customers located throughout the United States. The Company enters into agreements with clients that create enforceable rights and obligations and for which it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled as services transfer to the customer. It is customary practice for the Company to have written agreements with its customers and revenue on oral or implied arrangements is generally not recognized. The Company recognizes revenue based on the consideration specified in the applicable agreement. Excluded from the transaction price are amounts collected on behalf of third parties for sales and similar taxes.
Long-term contracts typically contain billing terms that provide for invoicing once a month and payment on a net 30-day basis. Exceptions to monthly billing are to ensure that the Company performs satisfactorily and do not represent a significant financing component. For example, certain fixed price contracts provide for milestone billings based upon the attainment of specific project objectives to ensure the Company meets its contractual requirements rather than monthly billing. Another example is, contracts that include retentions or holdbacks paid at the end of a project to ensure that the Company meets the contract requirements. The Company does not assess whether a contract contains a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of promised services to the customer will be less than one year.
As a professional services engineering firm, the Company generally recognizes revenue over time as control transfers to a customer based upon the extent of progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation.
For services delivered under fixed price contracts, the Company uses the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs since costs incurred (an input method) represents a reasonable measure of progress towards the satisfaction of a performance obligation in order to estimate the portion of revenue earned. This method faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer when the Company is satisfying a performance obligation that entails a number of interrelated tasks or activities for a combined output that requires the Company to coordinate the work of employees and sub-consultants. Contract costs typically include direct labor, subcontract and consultant costs, materials and indirect costs related to contract performance. Changes in estimated costs to complete these obligations result in adjustments to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis, so that revised estimates are recognized in the current period. Changes in estimates can routinely occur over the contract term for a variety of reasons including, changes in scope, unanticipated costs, delays or favorable or unfavorable progress that differ from original expectations. In situations where the remaining estimated costs to perform exceed the consideration to be received, the Company accrues the entire estimated loss during the period the loss becomes known.
When a performance obligation is billed using a time-and-material type contract, the Company measures its progress to complete based upon the hours incurred for the period times contractually agreed upon billing rates plus any materials delivered or consumed in the project. When applicable, the Company will recognize revenue under these contracts as invoiced under the practical expedient.
9

In certain situations, it is possible that two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract, or a single contract should be accounted for as multiple performance obligations. This requires significant judgment and could impact the amount and timing of revenue recognition. Such determinations are made using management’s best estimate and knowledge of contracts and related performance obligations.
The Company’s contracts may contain variable consideration in the form of unpriced or pending change orders or claims that either increase or decrease the contract price. Variable consideration is generally estimated using the expected value method but may from time to time be estimated using the most likely amount method depending on the circumstance. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are based upon historical experience and known trends.
The Company recognizes claims against vendors, sub-consultants, and others as a reduction in costs when the contract establishes enforceability, and the amounts of recovery are reasonably estimable and probable. Reduction in costs are recognized at the lesser of the amount management expects to recover or costs incurred.
Contract related assets and liabilities are classified as current assets and current liabilities. Significant balance sheet accounts related to the revenue cycle are as follows:
Accounts receivables, net:
Accounts receivable, net (contract receivables) includes amounts billed under the contract terms. The amounts are stated at their net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated number of receivables that will not be collected. The Company considers several factors in its estimated expected credit losses including knowledge of a client’s financial condition, its historical collection experience, and other factors relevant to assessing the collectability of such receivables. No single client accounted for more than 10% of the Company's outstanding receivables at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Contract Assets:
Contract Assets are recorded when progress to completion revenue earned on contracts exceeds amounts billed under the contract. It may also include contract retainages that can be billed once contract stipulations are satisfied.
Contract Liabilities:
Contract Liabilities are recorded when amounts billed under a contract exceeds the progress to completion revenue earned under the contract.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Expected Credit Losses
The Company records accounts receivable net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is determined based upon management’s review of the estimated collectability of the specific accounts receivable, client type, client credit worthiness, plus a general provision based upon the historical loss experience and existing economic conditions. The Company charges off uncollectible amounts against the allowance for doubtful accounts once management determines the amount, or a portion thereof, to be worthless. Upon determination that a specific receivable is uncollectible, the receivable is written off against the allowance for expected credit losses. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance in the allowance for expected credit losses was $2.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from the estimates and assumptions that were used.
Concentration of Credit Risk and other Concentrations
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.
Cash balances at various times during the year may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company’s cash deposits are held in institutions whose credit ratings are monitored by management, and the Company has not incurred any losses related to such deposits.
10

The Company can, at times, be subject to a concentration of credit risk with respect to outstanding accounts receivable. However, the Company believes no such concentration existed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, or the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s customers are located throughout the United States across diverse market sectors. Although the Company generally grants credit without collateral, management believes that its contract acceptance, billing, and collection policies are adequate to minimize material credit risk. Also, for non-governmental customers, the Company can often place mechanics liens against the real property associated with the contract in the event of non-payment.
Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) provides the framework for measuring and reporting financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The codification establishes a three-level disclosure hierarchy to indicate the level of judgment used to estimate fair value measurements:
Level 1:    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date;
Level 2:    Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices (such as interest rate and yield curves);
Level 3:    Uses inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and reflect significant management judgment.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short duration of these instruments;
The carrying amounts of debt obligations approximate their fair values as the terms are comparable to terms currently offered by local financial institutions for arrangements with similar terms to industry peers with comparable credit characteristics. Accordingly, the debt obligations involve Level 3 fair value inputs;

Fair value measurements relating to our business combinations are made primarily using Level 3 inputs including discounted cash flow and to the extent applicable, Monte Carlo simulation techniques. Fair value for the identified intangible assets is generally estimated using inputs primarily for the income approach using the multiple period excess earnings method. The significant assumptions used in estimating fair value include (i) revenue projections of the business, including profitability, (ii) attrition rates and (iii) the estimated discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows. Other personal property assets, such as property, plant and equipment, are valued using the cost approach, which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the asset less depreciation. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated using published treasury rates in the Wall St. Journal and discounting the present value along with other significant assumptions which include projections of revenue, and probabilities of meeting those projections, as well as Monte Carlo simulation techniques.
The following is a summary of change in contingent consideration:

Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income tax assets or liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when the differences settle or become realized. Valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset is not realizable or recoverable in the future. As of September 30, 2024, no valuation allowances are required, and all deferred tax assets are realizable.

The Company assesses uncertain tax positions to determine whether income tax positions will more likely than not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authorities. If the Company cannot reach a more-likely-than-not determination, no benefit is recorded. If the Company determines that the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained, the Company records the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized when the tax position is settled. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. Beginning January 1, 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures in the current year and now requires taxpayers to capitalize and amortize research and development costs pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 174. The capitalized expenses are amortized over a 5-year period for domestic expenses and a 15-year period for foreign expenses. As of December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an uncertain tax return of $42.5 million related to its position regarding Section 174 costs. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company made a determination to change its accounting method for Section 174 costs, and accordingly, released an uncertain tax position reserve of $47.9 million associated with the previously established position. While this method change is a timing difference between current and deferred taxes, the effect of this release generated an income tax benefit of $4.0 million as a result of a decrease in accrued tax penalties and interest. In October 2024, the Company reevaluated its previous determination in this matter and concluded there was a reasonable basis to file the 2023 income tax return under its historical accounting method for Section 174 costs. Accordingly, the Company has re-established the aforementioned uncertain tax position, and determined that accrued penalties are no longer necessary based on the tax filing position and disclosure. As of the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company's uncertain tax position reserve for Section 174 costs was $51.1 million.
The Company recognizes the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 69.5% and 233.4%, respectively. The change in the Company’s effective tax rate is predominantly due to changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate and certain non-recurring discrete events, as discussed below. The most prominent factors impacting the estimated annual effective tax rate include an increase in projected R&D credits generated for 2024, an increase in the projected limitations of the deductible executive compensation for 2024, and an overall reduction in forecasted income for 2024 relative to 2023. With respect to the projected R&D credit, the Company anticipates the 2024 generated R&D credit to be $3.5 million as of September 30, 2024, as compared to the projected R&D credit to be generated of $2.9 million as of September 30, 2023. Similarly, the Company anticipates the annual projected limitation on the deductibility of executive compensation to be $21.3 million for 2024 as compared to $7.9 million for 2023.
Further, the Company also recognized a net discrete benefit of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a net discrete benefit of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The net discrete benefit is predominantly the result of a windfall tax benefit for restricted stock awards, penalties and interest recorded for uncertain tax positions, and other non-recurring adjustments. More specifically, the windfall tax adjustment for restricted stock awards recognized at a value higher than the grant date fair value is $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Penalties and interest accrued for uncertain tax positions was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. In addition, there was a one-time $4.0 million decrease in accrued penalties and interest for the reversal of the uncertain tax position for Section 174 costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as discussed above. Further, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a non-recurring $0.2 million reduction to the state income tax payable. These factors increased the rate by 74.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and increased the rate by 186.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain states in which it operates. Based on the timing of the filing of certain tax returns, the Company’s federal income tax returns for tax years 2020 and thereafter

remain subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The statute of limitations on the Company’s state income tax returns generally conforms to the federal three-year statute of limitations.
Segments
The Company operates in one segment based upon the financial information used by its chief operating decision maker in evaluating the financial performance of its business and allocating resources. The single segment represents the Company’s core business of providing engineering and related professional services to its customers.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Accounting guidance not yet adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items in annual and interim periods. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the new standard.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied prospectively. Retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the new standard.
Other than those noted above, which are still being evaluated, the Company does not believe that any other recently issued standards will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Earnings (loss) Per Share and Certain Related Information
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were either exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would share in the earnings (loss) of the Company. The dilutive effect of options is reflected in diluted earnings (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of shares to be purchased under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan is reflected in diluted earnings (loss) per share by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding that would have been outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of convertible debt is reflected in diluted earnings (loss) per share by application of the if-converted method. The Company uses the two-class method to determine earnings (loss) per share.
For calculating basic earnings (loss) per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the weighted average number of shares outstanding exclude 1,225,485 and 1,329,013 non-vested restricted shares and 2,291 and 3,561 unexercised substantive options. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 did not assume the effect of restricted shares or substantive options because the effects were antidilutive.
For calculating basic earnings per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the weighted average number of shares outstanding exclude 1,795,553 and 1,806,070 non-vested restricted shares and 7,273 and 8,501 unexercised substantive options. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 did not assume the effect of restricted shares or substantive options because the effects were antidilutive.

Share Repurchases
On November 17, 2023, the board of directors authorized a $10 million share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $10 million of our common stock. On August 16, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to this repurchase authorization from $10 million to $25 million (collectively referred to as the "2023 Repurchase Authorization"). The authorization is effective through August 31, 2025. The execution of the repurchase program is expected to be consistent with the Company’s strategic initiatives which prioritize investments in organic and acquisitive growth. The timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by management at its discretion based on several factors including share price, market conditions and capital allocation priorities. Shares may be repurchased from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The share repurchase program does not obligate Bowman to acquire a specific number of shares of common stock and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without notice.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 563,521 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $24.75, and has $11.1 million remaining under the 2023 Repurchase Authorization.
4. Acquisitions
Business Combinations
Surdex Corporation
On April 2, 2024, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Surdex Corporation (“Surdex”), a St. Louis-based geospatial and engineering services firm providing low, medium and high-altitude digital orthoimagery, advanced high-resolution LiDAR, intelligent digital mapping, 3D hydrography, and disaster mapping. The Company paid total consideration of $43.3 million, which was comprised of cash, promissory note, common stock and assumed liabilities. The shares are subject to a six-month lock up. The promissory note bears a simple interest rate fixed at 6.50%, and is payable in equal quarterly payments of principal and interest beginning July 2024 and ending July 2027. The merger agreement contains a contingent consideration feature which affords the sellers the opportunity to earn additional consideration in the form of the Company's common stock, depending on the average trading price of the Company's common stock for the 90 trading days post-acquisition. For tax purposes, the Surdex transaction is considered a tax-free merger, in which the assets have been recorded at their respective carrying values. As a result, there is no corresponding tax goodwill, and therefore no tax goodwill to be amortized or otherwise deductible.

The purchase price allocation, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill, is based on preliminary information and is subject to change as additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations are obtained and management completes its reassessment of the measurement period procedures based on the results of the preliminary valuation. During the applicable measurement period, the Company will adjust assets and liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in revised estimated values of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The effect of measurement period adjustments to the estimated fair values will be reflected as if the adjustments had been completed on the acquisition date.

Other 2024 Acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company completed six additional acquisitions in diverse geographic regions and service lines. The Company paid total consideration of $31.0 million through combinations of cash, promissory notes, shares of common stock and assumed liabilities. No cash was acquired with these acquisitions. Shares of common stock issued in connection with the acquisitions are subject to a six-month lock-up. Promissory notes bear a simple interest rate ranging from 5.00% to 6.75% and are payable in quarterly payments of principal and interest beginning May 2024 and ending in August 2027. For tax purposes, depending on the transaction, the acquisitions were treated either as an asset acquisition, in which case the assets have been stepped up and recorded at their respective fair values, or a tax-free merger, in which case the assets have been recorded at their respective carrying values. Goodwill results from an assembled workforce, which does not qualify for separate recognition, as well as expected future synergies from combining operations. For asset acquisitions, all the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. For three of the acquisitions, the purchase agreement includes a contingent consideration feature, which affords the sellers the opportunity to earn additional consideration in the form of the Company's common stock, cash and non-negotiable promissory notes, based on certain financial performance thresholds. The final settlement amount will depend on ongoing operations of the
16

acquired company. The payout amounts range between $0 and $1.0 million. See Note 2 Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding the fair value of contingent consideration.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, for all of the 2024 acquisitions, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments of $1.0 million increase to goodwill, $0.3 million increase in intangible assets, offset by a $0.1 million decrease to property and equipment, $0.4 million increase to equity consideration, $0.1 million increase to notes payable and $0.7 million increase to deferred tax liabilities. If the change in provisional amounts have been recorded at the acquisition date, it would not have resulted in a chance in operating income in the prior periods.
In connection with all of the 2024 acquisitions, the Company recognized $0.4 million and $1.1 million of acquisition related expenses within Other Income and Expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, including legal fees, consulting fees, and other miscellaneous expenses associated with acquisitions.
2023 Acquisitions
During 2023, the Company completed eleven acquisitions in diverse geographic regions and service lines. The Company paid total consideration of $75.7 million through combinations of cash, promissory notes, convertible notes, shares of common stock and assumed liabilities. No cash was acquired with these acquisitions. Shares of common stock are subject to a six-month lock-up. Promissory notes bear a simple interest rate ranging from 5.00% to 11.00% and are payable in quarterly payments of principal and interest beginning February 2023 and ending in December 2026. Convertible notes bear a simple interest rate ranging from 7.00% to 8.00% and are payable in lump sum payments or quarterly payments of principal and interest beginning December 2024 and ending in September 2027; see Note 12 Notes Payable for additional information regarding the convertible notes payable. For tax purposes, dependent on the transaction, the acquisitions were treated either as an asset, stock or a merger. Goodwill results from an assembled workforce, which does not qualify for separate recognition, as well as expected future synergies from combining operations. Portions of the Goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. For six of the acquisitions, the purchase agreement includes a contingent consideration feature, which affords the sellers the opportunity to earn additional consideration in the form of the Company's common stock, cash and non-negotiable promissory notes, based on certain financial performance thresholds. The final settlement amount will depend on ongoing operations of the acquired company. The payout amounts range
18

between $0 and $3.0 million; see Note 2 Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding the fair value of contingent consideration.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, for the 2023 acquisitions, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments of $0.4 million increase to goodwill offset by $0.4 million increase to consideration. The change did not result in a change to operating income.
In connection with these acquisitions, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.7 million of acquisition related expenses within Other Income and Expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, including legal fees, consulting fees, and other miscellaneous expenses associated with acquisitions.

15. Leases
We lease certain office space, equipment and vehicles. These leases are either non-cancelable, cancellable only by the payment of penalties or cancellable upon notice provided. All lease payments are based on the lapse of time and certain leases are subject to annual escalations for increases in base rents. The Company's lease terms includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability for its operating leases at the commencement date equal to the present value of the contractual minimum lease payments over the lease term. The present value is calculated using the rate implicit in the lease, if known, or the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The discount rate used for operating leases is primarily determined based on an analysis of the Company's borrowing rate, while the discount rate used for finance leases is primarily determined by the rate specified in the lease.
Operating and Finance Leases
The Company's operating leases primarily include material leases of buildings (consisting primarily of office lease commitments) and equipment. These leases are classified as operating leases and are recognized as right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company's finance leases primarily include equipment and vehicles in certain contracts with payment terms on the lease agreements that range between 30 and 50 months.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains “forward-looking statements” reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to several factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, economic and competitive conditions, regulatory changes, and other uncertainties, as well as those factors discussed in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”) filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, particularly in “Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements,” all of which are difficult to predict. Considering these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Bowman,” the “company,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Bowman Consulting Group Ltd., its wholly owned subsidiaries and combined entities under common control, or either or all of them as the context may require.
Overview
Bowman is a professional services firm delivering innovative engineering solutions to customers who own, develop and maintain the built environment. We provide planning, engineering, construction management, commissioning, environmental consulting, geospatial, survey, land procurement and other technical services to customers operating in a diverse set of end markets. We work as both a prime and sub-consultant for a broad base of public and private sector customers that generally operate in highly regulated environments.
We have a diversified business that is not dependent on any one service line, geographic region, or end market. We are deliberate in our efforts to balance our sources of revenue and avoid reliance on any one significant customer, service line, geography or end market concentration. Our strategic focus is on penetrating and expanding our presence in markets which best afford us opportunities to secure assignments that provide reoccurring revenue and multi-year engagements thus resulting in dependable and predictable revenue streams and high employee utilization. We limit our exposure to risk by providing professional and related services exclusively. We do not engage in general contracting activities either directly, or through joint ventures, and therefore have no related exposure. We are not a partner in any design-build construction projects. We carry no heavy equipment inventory, and our risk of contract loss is generally limited to time associated with fixed fee professional services assignments.
Gross contract revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $113.9 million and $94.4 million, respectively, representing year over year growth of 20.7%. Gross contract revenue derived from our workforce represented 89.0% and 87.0% of gross contract revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively (see Net service billing – non-GAAP below). Our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $0.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $17.0 million on net income of $0.8 million and $15.1 million on net income of $1.2 million, respectively. (see Adjusted EBITDA – non-GAAP below)
Gross contract revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $313.3 million and $253.3 million, respectively, representing year over year growth of 23.7%. Gross contract revenue derived from our workforce represented 89.7% and 88.2% of gross contract revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively (see Net service billing – non-GAAP below). Our net (loss) income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was ($2.9) million and $1.1 million, respectively. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $42.5 million on net loss of ($2.9) million and $35.8 million on net income of $1.1 million, respectively. (see Adjusted EBITDA – non-GAAP below)
Subsequent Events
On November 7, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Exeltech Consulting, Inc. and paid total consideration of $5.1 million, subject to adjustments, through combinations of cash, promissory notes, convertible promissory note and assumed liabilities. No cash was acquired with this acquisition. Promissory notes bear a simple interest rate of 5.00% with payments of principal and interest beginning February 2025 and ending February 2028. The
32

convertible note bears a simple interest rate of 5.00% and may be convertible in whole or in part at any time to Bowman common stock at a conversion price of $32.32 per share and is subject to a six-month lock-up.
Common Stock Offering
On April 1, 2024, the Company closed on an offering of common stock in which it issued and sold 1,323,530 shares at an offering price of $34.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $42.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, but before expenses of the offering. On April 1, 2024, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 179,412 shares of the Company’s common stock at the public offering price, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $6.1 million. After giving effect to this exercise of the overallotment option, the total number of shares sold by the Company in this common stock offering increased to 1,502,942 shares with total gross proceeds of approximately $51.1 million. The exercise of the overallotment option closed on April 1, 2024, at which time the Company received net proceeds of $5.7 million after underwriting discounts and commissions.
Methods of Evaluation
We use a variety of financial and other information in monitoring the financial condition and operating performance of our business. Some of the information we use to evaluate our operations is financial information that is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), while other information may be financial in nature and either built upon GAAP results or may not be in accordance with GAAP (Non-GAAP). We use all this information together for planning and monitoring our operations, as well as determining certain management and employee compensation.
The Company operates as a single business segment represented by our core business of providing multi-disciplinary professional engineering solutions to customers. While we evaluate revenue and other key performance indicators relating to various divisions of labor, our leadership neither manages the business nor deliberately allocates resources by service line, geography, or end market. Our financial statements present results as a single operating segment.
Components of Income and Expense
Revenue
We generate revenue from services performed by our employees, pass-through fees from sub-consultants, and reimbursable contract costs. On our condensed consolidated financial statements, we report gross revenue, which represents total revenue billed to customers excluding taxes collected from customers. Gross revenue less revenue derived from pass-through sub-consultant fees, reimbursable expenses and other direct expenses represents our net service billing, or that portion of our gross revenue attributable to services performed by our employees. Our peers use the calculation underlying net service billing to normalize peer performance assessments and provide meaningful insight into trends over time. Refer to — Other Financial Data, Non-GAAP measurements and Key Performance Indicators below for further discussion of the use of this non-GAAP financial measure.
We generally do not generate profit from the pass-through of sub-consultants and reimbursable expenses. As such, contract profitability is most heavily impacted by the mix of labor utilized to complete the tasks and the efficiency of those resources in completing the tasks. Our largest direct contract cost is consistently our labor. To grow our revenue and maximize overall profitability we carefully monitor and manage our cost of labor and the utilization thereof. Maintaining an optimal level of utilization on a balanced pool of growing labor resources represents our greatest prospect for delivering increasing profitability.
We enter into contracts that contain two types of pricing characteristics:
Hourly contracts, also referred to as time and materials, are common for professional and technical consulting assignments both short-term and multi-year in duration. Under these types of contracts, there is no predetermined maximum fee and we generally experience no risk associated with cost overruns. For hourly contracts, we negotiate billing rates and charge our customers based upon the actual hours expended toward a deliverable. These contracts may have not-to-exceed parameters requiring us to receive additional authorizations from our customer to continue working, but we likewise do not have to continue working without assurances of payment for such additional work. Hourly assignments represented approximately $9.8 million and $30.2 million or 9% and 10% of our gross contract revenue for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, hourly assignments represented approximately $11.4 million and $28.5 million or 12% and 11% of our gross contract revenue, respectively.
33

Lump sum contracts, also referred to as fixed fee, typically require the performance of some, or all, of the obligations under the contract for a specified amount, subject to price adjustments only if the scope of the project changes or unforeseen requirements arise. Our fixed fee contracts generally include a specific scope of work and defined deliverables. Lump sum contracts can involve both hourly and fixed fee tasks. The majority of our assignments are lump sum in nature representing approximately $104.1 million and $283.1 million or 91% and 90% of our gross contract revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, assignments that are lump sum in nature represented approximately $83.0 million and $224.8 million or 88% and 89% of our gross contract revenue, respectively. Recognizing revenue from lump sum assignments requires management estimates of both total contract value when there are contingent compensation elements of the fee arrangement and expected cost at completion. We closely monitor our progress to completion and adjust our estimates when necessary. We do not recognize revenue from work that has no documented customer commitment and is performed at risk.
Contract Costs
Contract costs consist of direct payroll costs, sub-consultant costs and other direct expenses exclusive of depreciation and amortization.
Direct payroll costs represent the portion of salaries and wages incurred in connection with the production of deliverables under customer assignments and contracts. Direct payroll costs include allocated fringe costs (i.e. health benefits, employer payroll taxes, and retirement plan contributions), paid leave and incentive compensation.
Sub-consultants and direct expenses include both sub-consultants and other outside costs associated with performance under our contracts. Sub-consultant and direct costs are generally reimbursable by our customers under the terms of our contracts.
Performance under our contracts does not involve significant machinery or other long term depreciable assets. Most of the equipment we employ involves desktop computers and other shared ordinary course IT equipment. We present direct costs exclusive of depreciation and amortization and as such we do not present gross profit on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Operating Expense
Operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative costs, non-cash stock compensation, depreciation and amortization and settlements and other non-core expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses represent corporate and other general overhead expenses, salaries and wages not allocated to customer projects including management and administrative personnel costs, incentive compensation, personal leave, office lease and occupancy costs, legal, professional and accounting fees.
Non-cash stock compensation represents the expenses incurred with respect to shares and options issued by the Company, both vested and unvested, to employees as long-term incentives. Non-cash stock compensation cost will be the grant date fair value of the awards, or the Black-Scholes-Merton value of stock options on the grant date, recognized ratably over the vesting period(s) of each award. Future non-cash stock compensation expense for unvested shares is the cumulative total of the unvested portion of all issued and outstanding awards and their individual grant date fair values. Stock awards will continue to be an important part of our long-term retention and rewards philosophy.
Depreciation and amortization represent the depreciation and amortization expense of our property and general IT equipment, capital lease assets, tenant improvements and intangible assets.
(Gain) loss on sale represents gains or losses inclusive of foreign exchange and accumulated depreciation recapture resulting from the disposal of an asset upon the sale or retirement of such asset.
34

Other (Income) Expense
Other (income) expense consists of other non-operating and non-core expenses, including transaction related costs associated with acquisitions.
Tax (Benefit) Expense
Income tax (benefit) expense, current and deferred, includes estimated federal, state and local tax expense associated with our net income, as apportioned to the states in which we operate. Estimates of our tax expense include both current and deferred tax expense along with all available tax incentives and credits.
Other Financial Data, Non-GAAP Measurements and Key Performance Indicators
Backlog
We measure the value of our undelivered gross revenue in real time to calculate our backlog and predict future revenue. Backlog includes awarded, contracted, and otherwise secured commitments along with revenue we expect to realize over time for predictable long-term and reoccurring assignments. We report backlog quarterly as of the end of the last day of the reporting period. We use backlog to predict revenue growth and anticipate appropriate future staffing needs. Backlog definitions and methods of calculation vary within our industry. As such, backlog is not a reliable metric on which to evaluate us relative to our peers. Backlog neither derives from, nor reconciles to, any GAAP results.
Net Service Billing
In the normal course of providing services to our customers, we routinely subcontract services and incur direct third-party contract expenses that may or may not be reimbursable and may or may not be billed to customers with mark-up. Gross revenue less revenue derived from pass-through sub-consultant fees and reimbursable expenses represents our net service billing, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, and is the portion of our gross contract revenue attributable to services performed by our employees. Because the ratio of sub-contractor and direct expense costs to gross billing varies between contracts, gross revenue is not necessarily indicative of trends in our business. As a professional services company, we believe that metrics derived from net service billings more accurately demonstrate the productivity and profitability of our workforce than do those derived from gross revenue. Our industry uses the calculation of net service billing to normalize peer performance assessments and provide meaningful insight into trends over time.
Adjusted EBITDA
We view Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as an important indicator of normalized performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization, plus discontinued expenses, non-core legal settlements and other costs not in the ordinary course of business, non-cash stock-based compensation, and other acquisition related adjustments such as professional fees, fair value adjustments and working capital adjustments. Our peers may define Adjusted EBITDA differently.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin, net
Adjusted EBITDA Margin, net, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, represents Adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, as a percentage of net service billings, as defined above.

Gross Contract Revenue
Gross contract revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased $19.5 million or 20.6% to $113.9 million as compared to $94.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, gross contract revenue attributable to work performed by our workforce increased $19.3 million, or 23.5% to $101.4 million or 89.0% of gross contract revenue as compared to $82.1 million or 87.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 (see Net service billing – non-GAAP). Of the $19.5 million increase in gross contract revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2024, acquisitions represented $23.3 million of the increase. To evaluate the Company’s growth, revenue from acquisitions is treated as acquired for a period of four quarters post-closing, after which it is considered organic. For each measurement and comparison period, historical balances of acquired and organic revenue bases are adjusted to reflect revenue accordingly.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, gross contract revenue from our building infrastructure market increased $4.3 million or 8.2% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Building Infrastructure includes commercial, municipal and residential infrastructure. The increase in building infrastructure revenue is the result of acquisitions. Within the building infrastructure market, 39.3% of gross contract revenue was derived from residential assignments including single family, multi-family and mixed-use housing stock, 42.9% from commercial assignments including retail, hospitality and quick-serve restaurants (QSR), office and industrial, data centers and healthcare, and 17.7% from municipal assignments, including parks and schools. Within residential, 59.8% of gross contract revenue was derived from for-sale homebuilding assignments, 35.7% from residential multi-family and 4.5% from mixed use projects. While the homebuilding market shows signs of rebounding from prior year interest rate impacts, for-sale residential services represented just 11.6% of our total gross contract revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Within commercial, 36.7% of revenue was derived from office and industrial assignments, 41.3% from retail, hospitality, and quick serve restaurants, 15.7% from data centers, and 6.2% from healthcare. We continue to experience strong demand for our building infrastructure services and maintain a positive outlook on this market as we continue to experience strength in markets including data centers, quick serve restaurants, industrial distribution facilities, schools, and build-for-rent communities.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue from transportation increased $2.1 million or 10.5% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was attributable to new contract awards in transportation both from public and private customers along with acquired transportation backlog which we were able to deliver to customers, within transportation, 64.5% of our gross contract revenue was derived directly from public sector customers including state and local departments of transportation ("DOTs"), tollway operators, transit authorities aviation operators and others with the remaining 35.5% derived from private sector customers. We expect to continue to increase our transportation revenue and improve the diversification of our revenue. We believe the transportation market continues to present significant opportunity for future growth and we remain committed to investing in leadership, technical expertise, business development and acquisitions for this market.
With the convergence of renewable energy with traditional transmission infrastructure and the continued growth we are projecting in the clean energy transition, we have consolidated renewable energy into the power and utilities category (sometimes referred to herein as the power, utilities and energy market) of our revenue mix and have adjusted historical balances accordingly. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue from power and utilities increased $1.5 million or 7.8% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The additional increase in gross contract revenue from the power and utilities market is principally attributable to acquisitions and increased revenue associated with the expansion of a multi-year utility undergrounding assignment in Florida, along with additional increases derived from gas pipeline and electric transmission projects nationally. Within the power and utilities market, 73.8% of our gross contract revenue was derived from customers operating traditional power operations and 26.2% was derived from customers focused on renewables, electric vehicle ("EV") infrastructure and energy transition operations. The power and utilities market continues to experience increasing infrastructure investment as changing weather patterns, energy transition mandates and other safety initiatives positively impact demand for the services we provide. Based on recent increases in program commitments within the gas pipeline replacement market, we believe trends in power and utilities provide meaningful opportunity for continued growth and we are committed to investing resources accordingly.
Our other emerging markets consist of mining, water resources, imaging and mapping, environmental consulting, and other natural resources services. Adjusted for the change, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue from emerging markets increased $11.7 million or 280.5% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Surdex Corporation; see Note 4 - Acquisitions for additional information. Emerging market sectors represent lines of business that have not yet grown to a size whereby we would distinguish them as a separate market. Gross contract revenue within our emerging markets was 54.0% from imaging and mapping activities, 12.9% from mining activities where we have specialized in copper mining, 25.3% from water resources activities, and 7.8% from environmental and other natural resources consulting. Scarcities in water resources and the increasing need for water management gives us confidence that we will be able to increase revenue accordingly. With recent and future acquisitions, we expect to experience continued growth from investment in various emerging market services.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, public sector customers, defined as direct contracts with municipalities, public agencies, or governmental authorities, represented 32.3% and 14.8% of our gross contract revenue, respectively. A portion of that increase is due to the reclassification of contracts for the Pike Corporation from the private
37

sector to the public sector. This does not include work done indirectly on public sector projects. Gross contract revenue from projects for public sector clients are included in the end market most aligned with work performed.
Contract costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
Total contract costs, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased $8.6 million or 18.8% to $54.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $45.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, total contract costs represented 47.7% and 48.4% of total contract revenue, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 total contract costs represented 53.6% and 55.6% of revenue attributable to our workforce, respectively (see Net Service Billing).
Direct payroll costs increased $8.3 million or 24.9% to $41.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $33.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Direct payroll accounted for 76.8% of total contract costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 3.7 percentage points as compared to 73.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Direct labor, the component of direct payroll costs associated with the cost of labor relating to work performed on contracts increased $5.8 million or 22.8% to $31.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $25.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in direct labor is primarily due to an increase in staffing to accommodate growth. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, direct labor costs represented 27.4% and 26.9% of gross contract revenue, respectively and represented 30.8% and 30.9% of the revenue attributable to our workforce, respectively.
Other direct payroll costs, the component of direct payroll costs associated with fringe and incentive compensation (cash and non-cash) increased by $2.6 million or 32.5% to $10.6 million as compared to $8.0 million.
Sub-consultants and other direct expenses increased $0.3 million or 2.4% to $12.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, sub-consultant and other direct expenses represented 11.1% and 13.0% of gross contract revenue, respectively. This decrease is not indicative of an anticipated long-term shift in the composition of our gross contract revenue, and we expect to experience periodic volatility in concentration of sub-consultant utilization.
Operating Expense
Total operating expense increased $13.1 million or 28.4% to $59.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $46.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10.2 million or 24.5% to $51.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $41.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Indirect labor increased $4.5 million or 23.6% to $23.6 million as compared to $19.1 million primarily due to an increase in staffing to accommodate growth. General overhead increased $4.3 million or 32.6% to $17.5 million as compared to $13.2 million due to increased costs associated with the overall growth of the Company.
Depreciation and amortization increased $2.9 million or 64.4% to $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase is primarily due to an increase in intangible assets and assets leased under financing arrangements. We continue to increase the use of our finance lease facility as we continue to grow. Intangible assets have increased due to multiple acquisitions. Gains on the sale of certain IT equipment and automobiles remained $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Other (Income) Expense
Other expense increased by $0.1 million to $1.6 million of expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Income Tax Benefit
Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2024, increased $1.8 million to a $1.9 million benefit, as compared to $0.1 million benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2023, see note 2, Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024, is 167.7% as compared to (5.5)% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Income (Loss) Before Tax and Net Income (Loss)
Loss before tax increased by $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, to ($1.1) million of loss compared to $1.1 million of income for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net income decreased by $0.4 million to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Net service billing (non-GAAP)
Net service billing increased $19.3 million or 23.5% to $101.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $82.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net service billing reconciles to gross contract revenue as follows (in thousands):

Less: sub-consultants and other direct expenses12,569 12,310 
Net service billing$101,363 $82,124 

Because sub-consultants and reimbursable expenses are most often pass-through items with little or no mark-up, they generally have a dilutive effect on gross, operating, and net margins while having little accretive effect on profitability. As such, where possible, we focus our resources and business development efforts principally on increasing revenue derived from our own workforce. Management primarily focuses its internal performance metrics on net service billing.

Nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023
Gross Contract Revenue
Gross contract revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased $60.0 million or 23.7% to $313.3 million as compared to $253.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, gross contract revenue attributable to work performed by our workforce increased $57.5 million, or 25.7% to $281.0 million or 89.7% of gross contract revenue as compared to $223.5 million or 88.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (see Net service billing – non-GAAP). Of the $60.0 million increase in gross contract revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, acquisitions represented $49.8 million of the increase. To evaluate the Company’s growth, revenue from acquisitions is treated as acquired for a period of four quarters post-closing, after which it is considered organic. For each measurement and comparison period, historical balances of acquired and organic revenue bases are adjusted to reflect revenue accordingly.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, gross contract revenue from our building infrastructure market increased $20.9 million or 14.4% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Building infrastructure includes commercial, municipal and residential infrastructure. The increase in building infrastructure revenue is the result of acquisitions. Within the building infrastructure market, 34.8% of gross contract revenue was derived from residential assignments including single family, multi-family and mixed-use housing stock, 45.3% from commercial assignments including retail, hospitality and quick-serve restaurants (QSR), office and industrial, data centers and healthcare, and 19.9% from municipal assignments including, parks and schools. Within residential, 53.3% of gross contract revenue was derived from for-sale homebuilding assignments, 40.3% from residential multi-family and 6.4% from mixed use projects. While the homebuilding market shows signs of rebounding from prior year interest rate impacts, for-sale residential services represented just 9.8% of our total gross contract revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Within commercial, 35.8% of revenue was derived from office and industrial assignments, 40.6% from retail, hospitality, and quick serve restaurants, 14.5% from data centers, and 9.1% from healthcare. We continue to experience strong demand for our building infrastructure services and maintain a positive outlook on this market as we continue to experience strength in markets including data centers, quick serve restaurants, industrial distribution facilities, schools, and build-for-rent communities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue from transportation increased $8.5 million or 16.4% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was attributable to new contract awards in transportation both from public and private customers along with acquired transportation backlog which we were able to deliver to customers, within transportation, 62.0% of our gross contract revenue was derived directly from public sector customers including state and local departments of transportation ("DOTs"), tollway operators, transit authorities, aviation operators and others with the remaining 38.0% derived from private sector customers. We expect to continue to increase our transportation revenue and improve the diversification of our revenue. We believe the transportation market continues to present significant opportunity for future growth and we remain committed to investing in leadership, technical expertise, business development and acquisitions for this market.
With the convergence of renewable energy with traditional transmission infrastructure and the continued growth we are projecting in the clean energy transition, we have consolidated renewable energy into the power and utilities category (sometimes referred to herein as the power, utilities and energy market) of our revenue mix and have adjusted historical balances accordingly. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue from power and utilities increased $8.8 million or 18.4% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The additional increase in gross contract revenue from the power and utilities market is principally attributable to acquisitions and increased revenue associated with the expansion of a multi-year utility undergrounding assignment in Florida, and to increases derived from gas pipeline and electric transmission projects nationally. Within the power and utilities market, 75.6% of our gross contract revenue was derived from customers operating traditional power operations and 24.4% was derived from customers focused on renewables, electric vehicle ("EV") infrastructure and energy transition operations. The power and utilities market continues to experience increasing infrastructure investment as changing weather patterns, energy transition mandates and other safety initiatives positively impact demand for the services we provide. Based on recent increases in program
41

commitments within the gas pipeline replacement market, we believe trends in power and utilities provide meaningful opportunity for continued growth and we are committed to investing resources accordingly.
Our other emerging markets consist of mining, water resources, imaging and mapping, environmental consulting, and other natural resources services. Adjusted for the change, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue from emerging markets increased $22.0 million or 236.5% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Surdex Corporation; see Note 4 - Acquisitions for additional information. Emerging market sectors represent lines of business that have not yet grown to a size whereby we would distinguish them as a separate market. Gross contract revenue within our emerging markets was 43.8% from imaging and mapping activities, 19.7% from mining activities where we have specialized in copper mining, 27.6% from water resources activities, and 8.9% from environmental and other natural resources consulting. Scarcities in water resources and the increasing need for water management gives us confidence that we will be able to increase revenue accordingly. With recent and future acquisitions, we expect to experience continued growth from investment in various emerging market services.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, public sector customers, defined as direct contracts with municipalities, public agencies, or governmental authorities, represented 26.0% and 12.8% of our gross contract revenue, respectively. A portion of that increase is due to the reclassification of contracts for the Pike Corporation from the private sector to the public sector. This does not include work done indirectly on public sector projects. Gross contract revenue from projects for public sector clients are included in the end market most aligned with work performed.
Contract costs (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
Total contract costs, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, increased $26.7 million or 21.5% to $150.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $124.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, total contract costs represented 48.1% and 49.0% of total contract revenue, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 total contract costs represented 53.7% and 55.5% of revenue attributable to our workforce, respectively (see Net Service Billing).
Direct payroll costs increased $24.2 million or 25.7% to $118.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $94.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Direct payroll accounted for 78.6% of total contract costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 2.6 percentage points as compared to 76.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Direct labor, the component of direct payroll costs associated with the cost of labor relating to work performed on contracts increased $17.5 million or 24.8% to $88.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $70.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in direct labor is primarily due to an increase in staffing to accommodate growth. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, direct labor costs represented 28.1% and 27.9% of gross contract revenue, respectively and represented 31.4% and 31.6% of the revenue attributable to our workforce, respectively.
Other direct payroll costs, the component of direct payroll costs associated with fringe and incentive compensation (cash and non-cash) increased by $6.6 million or 27.8% to $30.3 million as compared to $23.7 million. This increase includes a $1.6 million increase in non-cash stock compensation as several new stock awards were granted to Company leadership as well as employees in connection with acquisitions. Also, stock compensation has become a larger part of our employee incentive plans.
Sub-consultants and other direct expenses increased $2.5 million or 8.4% to $32.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $29.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, sub-consultant and other direct expenses represented 10.3% and 11.8% of gross contract revenue, respectively. This decrease is not indicative of an anticipated long-term shift in the composition of our gross contract revenue, and we expect to experience periodic volatility in concentration of sub-consultant utilization.
Operating Expense
Total operating expense increased $39.8 million or 31.5% to $166.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $126.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $32.1 million or 28.2% to $145.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $113.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Indirect labor
42

increased $14.8 million or 29.2% to $65.4 million as compared to $50.6 million primarily due to an increase in staffing to accommodate growth. General overhead increased $12.4 million or 33.6% to $49.3 million as compared to $36.9 million due to increased costs associated with the overall growth of the Company.
Depreciation and amortization increased $7.8 million or 60.9% to $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase is primarily due to an increase in intangible assets and assets leased under financing arrangements. We continue to increase the use of our finance lease facility as we continue to grow. Intangible assets have increased due to multiple acquisitions. Gains on the sale of certain IT equipment and automobiles increased $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Other (Income) Expense
Other expense increased by $2.1 million to $6.0 million of expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense of $2.3 million due to an increase in finance leases and notes payable.
Income Tax Benefit
Income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased $4.6 million to a $6.5 million benefit, as compared to $1.9 million benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, see note 2, Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, is 69.5% as compared to 233.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Income (Loss) Before Tax and Net Income (Loss)
Loss before tax increased by $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, to ($9.4) million of loss compared to ($0.8) million of loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net loss increased by $4.0 million to ($2.9) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $1.1 million of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Because sub-consultants and reimbursable expenses are most often pass-through items with little or no mark-up, they generally have a dilutive effect on gross, operating, and net margins while having little accretive effect on profitability. As such, where possible, we focus our resources and business development efforts principally on increasing revenue derived from our own workforce.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents balances, cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), lease financing, proceeds from stock sales and other structured debt securities. Our principal uses of cash are operating expenses, working capital requirements, capital
44

expenditures, repayment of debt, acquisitions, and acquisition related payments. On September 30, 2024, we maintained a $100.0 million Revolving Credit Facility with Bank of America N.A., our primary lender. See -"Credit Facilities and Other Financing" below for more information on our Revolving Credit Facility. Under the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility, available cash in our primary operating account sweeps against the outstanding balance every evening. Our cash on hand therefore generally consisted of petty cash and other non-operating funds not included in the nightly sweep. Cash on hand included the cash we kept in short-term investment accounts along with deposits and payments in transit in our operating sweep account. Our cash on hand decreased by $9.0 million on September 30, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023.
We regularly monitor our capital requirements and believe our sources of liquidity, including cash flow from operations, existing cash, and borrowing availability under our credit and lease facilities will be sufficient to fund our projected cash requirements and strategic initiatives for the next year. To the extent we experience any potential liquidity or capital shortfalls relating to growth and acquisition, we currently expect to rely on debt financing to meet those shortfalls. We use our equity as a component of consideration in acquisitions. In addition, depending on market conditions, we may opportunistically access the public debts and equity markets.
We are actively pursuing acquisitions as part of our strategic growth initiative. At any given time, we are assessing multiple opportunities at varying stages of due diligence. These acquisition opportunities range in size, timing of closing, valuation, and composition of consideration. In connection with acquisitions, we use a combination of cash, bank financing, seller financing, and equity to satisfy the purchase price. Currently, we have several acquisitions under consideration. There can be no assurance that any opportunity in the process of being reviewed will close but we expect over time to utilize a meaningful portion of our current liquidity and capital resources for acquisitions.

Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $12.4 million, which primarily consisted of ($2.9) million net loss, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense of $20.3 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $20.6 million, offset by deferred taxes of ($18.4) million and a net cash outflow of ($8.4) million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The net outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $10.8 million increase in accounts receivable resulting from a combination of acquired accounts receivable from acquisitions and an increased billing to our clients, a $6.9 million increase in contract assets and liabilities, and a $6.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $12.3 million, which primarily consisted of our $1.1 million net income, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense of $18.3 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $12.8 million, and deferred taxes of ($11.1) million, offset by a net cash outflow of ($9.5) million from changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was $21.8 million. The net outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $14.6 million increase in accounts receivable resulting from increased billing to our clients, a $4.4 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, and $10.3 million increase in contract assets and liabilities, partially offset by a $19.8 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $6.6 million to $23.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net cash used for investing is primarily attributable to acquisitions that occurred in the first three quarters of 2024.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $2.2 million compared to $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $3.7 million. The decrease in net cash provided by financing is primarily attributable to the net proceeds of $47.2 million from the common stock offering, $4.6 million from finance leases, $1.5 million from issuance of common stock, offset by the $13.0 million used for repayment of the revolving line of credit and the fixed line, $11.0 million used for repayment of notes and $11.1 million used to purchase treasury shares.
Credit Facilities and Other Financing

On May 2, 2024 the Company and certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors entered into a new credit agreement with lenders, Bank of America N.A, as Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and L/C Issuer, and TD Bank, N.A. as syndication agent (the “New Credit Agreement”) which provides for a new $100 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility replaced the Company’s previous $70.0 million revolving credit facility (the "2022 Revolving Credit Facility"), and its non-revolving fixed line of credit ("Fixed Line #2") with Bank of America, N.A. In addition, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Security and Pledge Agreement, dated as of May 2, 2024, with Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent. The New Credit Agreement is secured by all the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors.
Under the New Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain covenants, including covenants on indebtedness, investments, liens and restricted payments, as well as maintain certain financial covenants, including a fixed charge coverage ratio and leverage ratio of debt to EBITDA (as defined in the New Credit Agreement). At September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants.
All outstanding principal on the Revolving Credit Facility is due on May 2, 2029. On September 30, 2024, the interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility ranged from 7.22% to 9.20%. As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility was $32.3 million.
We utilize master lease facilities primarily with Honour Capital LLC (“Honour”) and Enterprise Leasing (“Enterprise”). The Honour Capital lease facility finances our acquisition of IT infrastructure, geospatial and survey equipment, aircraft cameras and related equipment, furniture and other long-lived assets. On May 3, 2024, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Surdex Corporation, entered into an Aircraft Loan and Security Agreement, Promissory Note and related transaction documents, with Wingspire Finance LLC pursuant to which Surdex borrowed approximately $6.3 million secured by a pledge of its aircraft, aircraft engines and other equipment. The Company guaranteed the obligations of Surdex under the financing agreements.
The Enterprise lease facility finances the acquisition of field trucks and other service vehicles. At September 30, 2024, we maintained a fleet of approximately 600 vehicles. All our leasing facilities allow for both operating and finance leasing. We allocate finance lease payments between amortization and interest. The payment terms on the lease agreements range between 30 and 50 months with payments totaling approximately $1.0 million per month. We utilize a third party valuation specialist to formulate the incremental borrowing rates for the Company, to calculate the present value on new leases.
We regularly evaluate our options with respect to capital and our requirements for operations and growth. We do not limit our consideration to traditional bank financing, but rather include other structured debt and equity as option for additional capital.
For more information about our credit facilities, see Note 11 – Revolving Credit Facility and Fixed Credit Facilities.
Registration Statement
We have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), which enables us to issue shares of our common stock and preferred stock, warrants
46

and rights to purchase any of such securities and/or debt securities, either individually or in units, in one or more offerings. We will file a prospectus supplement containing the amount and type of securities each time we issue securities under our Shelf Registration Statement. On April 1, 2024, we sold 1,502,942 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $51.1 million pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated March 26, 2024. The selling stockholders in the Offering sold an aggregate of 188,234 shares of common stock. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders in the Offering See “Overview” above for more details.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no material off-balance sheet arrangements, no special purpose entities, and no activities that include non-exchange-traded contracts accounted for at fair value.

We use estimates in the determination of certain financial results. Estimates used in financial reporting utilize only information available to us at the time of formulation. These estimates are subject to change as new information becomes available.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the critical accounting policies relating to the use of estimates described in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC dated March 12, 2024.
Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements
Our disclosure and analysis in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, contains forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include those that express plans, anticipation, intent, contingencies, goals, targets or future development and/ or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology, such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “should,” “could” or the negative of such terms or similar expressions. The absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our recent and future acquisitions; our expectations regarding the impact of any completed or planned acquisition; our intentions regarding our growth strategies and investment of resources, including the markets in which we intend to focus our growth initiatives; our expectations regarding trends and opportunities for future growth and expansion, including our projections of growth in energy transitions; our expectations regarding the use of our current liquidity and capital resources for acquisitions; or expectations to experience periodic volatility in concentration of sub-consultant utilization; and our belief that our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our projected cash requirements and strategic initiatives for the next year. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and projections about future events and they are subject to risks and uncertainties known and unknown that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include:
our ability to retain the continued service of our key professionals and to identify, hire, retain and utilize additional qualified personnel;
changes in demand from the clients that we serve;
any material outbreak or material escalation of international hostilities, including developments in the conflict involving Russia and the Ukraine, or the Middle East and the economic consequences of related events such as the imposition of economic sanctions and resulting market volatility;
changes in general domestic and international economic conditions such as inflation rates, interest rates, tax rates, higher labor and healthcare costs, recessions, and changing government policies, laws and regulations;
the U.S. government and other governmental and quasi-governmental budgetary and funding approval process;
47

our ability to execute our acquisitions strategy, including successful completion of acquisitions and the integration of new acquisitions into our operations and financial reporting;
the possibility that our contracts may be terminated by our clients;
our ability to win new contracts and renew existing contracts;
competitive pressures and trends in our industry and our ability to successfully compete with our competitors;
our dependence on a limited number of clients;
our ability to complete projects timely, in accordance with our customers’ expectations, or profitability;
our ability to successfully manage our growth strategy;
our ability to raise capital in the future;
the credit and collection risks associated with our clients;
our ability to comply with procurement laws and regulations;
changes in laws, regulations, or policies;
weather conditions and seasonal revenue fluctuations may adversely impact our financial results;
the enactment of legislation that could limit the ability of local, state and federal agencies to contract for our privatized services;
our ability to complete our backlog of uncompleted projects as currently projected;
the risk of employee misconduct or our failure to comply with laws and regulations;
our ability to control, and operational issues pertaining to, business activities that we conduct with business partners and other third parties;
our need to comply with a number of restrictive covenants and similar provisions in our credit facility that generally limit our ability to (among other things) incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make acquisitions, pay dividends and undergo certain changes in control, which could affect our ability to finance future operations, acquisitions or capital needs;
significant influence by our principal stockholder and the existence of certain anti-takeover measures in our governing documents; and
the factors identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors”, and in our other filings with the SEC.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor of our business or to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to certain market risks from transactions that are entered into during the normal course of business. We have not entered into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. We have no significant market risk exposure to interest rate changes related to the promissory notes issued as partial consideration for acquisitions since these contain fixed interest rates. Our only debt subject to interest rate risk is the New Credit Agreement under which rates are tied to Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate), plus an applicable rate which varies between 2.10% and 2.60% based on our ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA (as each is defined in the New Credit Agreement). As of September 30, 2024, there was $32.3 million outstanding on the Credit Agreement. A one percentage point change in the assumed interest rate of the New Credit Agreement would change our annual interest expense by approximately $0.3 million in 2024.
Our finance lease obligations with Honour and Enterprise were $28.6 million as of September 30, 2024. These finance lease obligations bear interest at a fixed rate. Accordingly, there is no exposure to market risk related to these obligations.
48

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. We believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
49

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of our business activities. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not party to any litigation, the outcome of which if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to any of the principal risks that we believe are material to our business, results of operations and financial condition, from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The recipients of securities in the above transactions acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with any, distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to the securities issued in the transactions.

(2) On November 17, 2023, our board of directors authorized a $10 million share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $10 million of our common stock. On August 16, 2024, the board of directors authorized an increase to this repurchase authorization from $10 million to $25 million (collectively referred to as the "2023 Repurchase Authorization"). The authorization is effective through August 31, 2025. The execution of the repurchase program is expected to be consistent with the Company’s strategic initiatives which prioritize investments in organic and acquisitive growth. The timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by management at its discretion based on several factors including share price, market conditions and capital allocation priorities. Shares may be repurchased from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The share repurchase program does not obligate Bowman to acquire a specific number of shares of common stock and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without notice. As of September 30, 2024, we have repurchased 563,521 shares of our common stock under the 2023 Repurchase Authorization.

This AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 22nd day of August 2024, by and between Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (the “Company”), and Robert Hickey (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, Executive currently serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend and restate all prior agreements, whether verbal or written, regarding the terms of employment of Executive, including without limitation the Executive Employment Agreement between Company and Executive dated April 27, 2021.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are mutually acknowledged, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows.

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth on Appendix A, attached hereto.

Section 2. Acceptance and Term of Employment. The Company agrees to employ Executive, and Executive agrees to serve the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth herein. The term of employment commenced on May 11, 2021 (the “Effective Date”) and continues until December 31, 2024 (the “Initial Term”). The term of employment shall automatically renew for one-year periods beginning on December 31, 2024 (each, a “Renewal Term”), unless either the Executive or the Company delivers a written notice of nonrenewal to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to such Renewal Term (the Initial Term together with each Renewal Term, are referred to as the “Term of Employment”).

Section 3. Position, Duties and Responsibilities; Performance; Place of Performance.
(a) Position, Duties, and Responsibilities. Executive shall be employed and serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of the Company (together with such other position or positions consistent with Executive’s title as the Board shall specify from time to time) and shall have such duties and responsibilities commensurate with such title and as the Board may designate from time to time. 
(b) Performance. Executive shall devote his business time, attention, skill, and best efforts to the performance of his duties under this Agreement and shall not engage in any other business or occupation during the Term of Employment that (i) conflicts with the interests of the Company, (ii) interferes with the proper and efficient performance of Executive’s duties for the Company, or (iii) interferes with Executive’s exercise of judgment in the Company’s best interests. Nothing herein, however, shall preclude Executive from (A) serving on the boards of directors or similar governing body of charitable or civic organizations, (B) with the prior written
1


        
consent of the Board, serving on the board of directors, trustees or similar governing body of a for-profit entity and (C) managing his personal investments, business and affairs, including those listed on Schedule I, provided, however, that such activities shall be limited by Executive so as not to materially interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder.
(c) Place of Performance. Executive shall be based at the Company’s corporate headquarters in Reston, Virginia.
Section 4. Compensation. During the Term of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to the following compensation:
(a) Base Salary. The Company shall pay Executive a base salary at a rate of not less than $473,531 per year, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices of the Company (the “Base Salary”).  During the Initial Term, Executive’s Base Salary shall be increased annually by the greater of (i) 3% of Executive’s then current Base Salary or (ii) such amount as may be determined by the Compensation Committee. After the Initial Term, Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed by the Compensation Committee who may (but is not obligated to) adjust such Base Salary in its sole discretion; provided that Base Salary shall not be decreased without the prior written consent of Executive. Any increase in Base Salary shall be Executive’s “Base Salary” for all purposes under this Agreement.
(b) Annual Bonus. Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual bonus award under the 2021 Executive Officers Short-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Annual Bonus”) based on the achievement level (threshold, target or maximum) of performance on objectives adopted by the Compensation Committee. Such performance objectives generally will correspond to those established for other members of senior management. During each fiscal year, if the threshold level of performance on objectives is achieved, Executive’s Annual Bonus will be 25% of Executive’s Base Salary, if the target level of performance on objectives is achieved, Executive’s Annual Bonus will be 50% of Executive’s Base Salary (which number is the “Target Annual Bonus”) and if maximum level of performance on objectives is achieved, Executive’s Annual Bonus will be 100% of Base Salary. If the level of performance falls between achievement levels (that is, threshold, target or maximum), lineal interpolation shall be used to determine the amount of Executive’s Annual Bonus for such year. Any earned Annual Bonus for a fiscal year may be paid in cash, stock, or a combination of stock and cash as determined by the Compensation Committee under the terms of the 2021 Executive Officers Short-Term Incentive Plan, as amended.
(c) Annual Equity Awards.
(i) Executive will be eligible to participate in any long-term equity incentive plan(s) adopted by the Company from time to time under the Company’s 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan or any successor plan (as applicable, the “Equity Plan”), including without limitation, the Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. 2021 Executive Officers Long Term Incentive Plan (together with any successor plan thereto the “LTIP”). For each fiscal year, Executive shall be entitled to receive a long-term equity award under the Equity Plan and/or
2


        
LTIP then in effect, subject to such vesting, other performance terms, including Company business objectives, and other conditions as the Compensation Committee shall determine. Such award shall have a value equal to 35% of Executive’s Base Salary at the threshold level, 75% of Executive’s Base Salary at the target level, and 150% of Executive’s Base Salary at the maximum level. The number of shares underlying any such equity award shall be determined by dividing the dollar value of the award by the Fair Market Value of the Company’s common stock as defined under the Equity Plan. If the level of Company business objectives and other performance terms set by the Compensation Committee falls between achievement levels (that is, threshold, target or maximum), lineal interpolation shall be used to determine the amount of Executive’s long term equity award for such year.
(ii) Executive shall not directly or indirectly, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber shares of the Company’s common stock awarded under the Equity Plan as collateral for indebtedness, including but not limited to, holding such shares in a margin account or any other account that could cause the common stock to be subject to a margin call or otherwise be available as collateral for a margin loan.
(d) Executive acknowledges that the Annual Equity Awards and all other compensation that qualifies as “Incentive-Based Compensation” under the Company’s Executive Officer Claw-Back Policy is subject to the terms of such policy.
Section 5. Employee Benefits. During the Term of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits:
(a) Executive shall be entitled to participate in such 401(k) and employee health, welfare and benefit plans and programs of the Company as are made available to the Company’s senior level executives or employees generally, as such plans and programs may be in effect from time to time.
(b) Executive shall be entitled to (i) a vehicle allowance of $1,500 monthly together with such other benefits related to vehicles as are made available to the Company’s senior level executives generally, and (ii) the maximum permitted Company contribution to Executive’s health savings account, if Executive is eligible for such contribution. In addition, the Company shall continue to maintain and pay for a term life insurance policy for Executive in the amount of $1.5 million through January 2027.
Section 6. Reimbursement of Expenses. Executive is authorized to incur reasonable business expenses in carrying out his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, and the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for all such reasonable business expenses, subject to documentation in accordance with the Company’s policies, as in effect from time to time.
Section 7. Termination of Employment.
(a) General. The Term of Employment shall terminate earlier than as provided in Section 2 upon the earliest to occur of (i) Executive’s death, (ii) a termination by reason of a Disability, (iii) a termination by the Company with or without Cause, and (iv) a termination by Executive

(i) The Accrued Rights;

(i) The Company may terminate Executive’s employment at any time for Cause relying on clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of Cause effective upon Executive’s receipt of written notice of termination. A termination of employment for Cause under this Section (c)(i) shall require the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the Board (not including Executive) at a meeting of the Board called and held for this purpose. The Board shall identify the conduct of Executive constituting grounds for Cause and specify the particulars thereof in reasonable detail. Executive shall have been provided notice of the meeting and an opportunity, together with counsel, to address the Board at any such meeting.
(ii) With respect to any termination of Executive for Cause relying on clauses (i), (ii) or (v) of the definition of Cause, the Board of the Company shall provide Executive with written notice of its intention to terminate Executive for Cause.

(iv) Subject to Executive’s election of COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plan, the Company shall cover the premium cost of such coverage monthly for the lesser of eighteen months following the Date of Termination or until the Executive no longer qualifies for COBRA continuance coverage.

(v) At the Company’s expense, continuation of the benefits in Section 5(b) until the later or (A) one year from the Date of Termination or (B) the end of the Term of Employment.

If not cured within such period, Executive’s termination shall be effective no later than thirty (30) days following the expiration of such cure period, and Executive shall be entitled to the same payments and benefits as provided in Section 7(d) hereof for a termination by the Company without Cause, subject to the same conditions on payment and benefits as described in Section 7(d) and Section 7(h) hereof.  Following the Date of Termination of Executive pursuant to this Section 7(e), except as set forth in this Section 7(e) and Section 14, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement. 

(f) Termination related to Change in Control. If at any time during the period beginning 90 days prior to a Change in Control and ending one (1) year after a Change in Control (the “Change in Control Period”), the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive with Good Reason and Executive complies with Section 7(h) hereof, Executive shall be entitled to:

The payments and benefits described in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above shall immediately terminate, and the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive with respect thereto, if Executive breaches any provision of the Restrictive Covenants contained in Appendix B attached hereto. Following such termination and except as set forth in this Section 7(f) and Section 14, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

(g) Termination by Executive without Good Reason.  Executive may terminate his employment without Good Reason by providing the Company thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such termination. In the event of a termination of employment by Executive under this Section 7(g) Executive shall be entitled only to Accrued Rights through the date of termination. In the event of termination of Executive’s employment under this Section 7(g), the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, by written notice accelerate such date of termination or remove him from any officer or director positions without changing the characterization of such termination as a termination by Executive without Good Reason.  Following the Termination Date of Executive pursuant to this Section 7(g) and Section 14, Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

(h) Release. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the payment of any amount or provision of any benefit pursuant to subsection (b) (Disability only), (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 7 (other than the Accrued Rights) (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”) shall be conditioned upon Executive’s execution, delivery to the Company, and non-revocation of the Release of Claims (and the expiration of any revocation period contained in such Release of Claims) within sixty (60) days following the date of Executive’s Date of Termination.  Within fifteen (15) business days after the condition in the preceding sentence is satisfied, amounts owed as Severance Benefits shall be payable in a single lump sum to Executive. If Executive fails to execute the Release of Claims in such a timely manner so as to permit any revocation period to expire prior to the end of such sixty (60) day (or shorter) period, or timely revokes his acceptance of such release following its execution, Executive shall not be entitled to any of the Severance Benefits. 

(i) Termination Procedures.

(i) Notice of Termination. Any written notice of termination given under Section 7 of this Agreement shall be provided to the other party in accordance with Section 18.  In addition, any written notice pertaining to a termination by the Company for Cause or by Executive for Good Reason shall meet the requirements of a Notice of Termination. A “Notice of Termination” means a written notice which (A) indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, to the extent applicable, (B) sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, and (C) the Date of Termination.

7


        
(ii) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” means (A) if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the date of expiration of the cure period set forth in Section 7(c), (B) if Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive for Good Reason, thirty (30) days following the date of expiration of the cure period specified in Section 7(e), (C) if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability, the date on which the Company notifies Executive of such termination, (D) if Executive voluntarily resigns without Good Reason or terminates his employment for Good Reason related to a Change in Control, the date at least thirty (30) days after Executive notifies the Company, subject to the Company’s right to accelerate such date of termination without changing the characterization of such termination, and (E) if Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of death, the date of death of Executive, or if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company due to Disability, the date that written notice of determination of Executive’s Disability is made by the Determining Physician.
 
Section 8. Certain Payments.
(a) In the event that any payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise (“Payments”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and (ii) but for this section, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, any successor provisions, or any comparable federal, state, local or foreign excise tax (“Excise Tax”), then, subject to the provisions of this Section 8, such Payments shall be either (A) provided in full pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other applicable agreement, or (B) provided as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such Payments being subject to the Excise Tax (“Reduced Amount”), whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state, local and foreign income, employment and other taxes and the Excise Tax (including, without limitation, any interest or penalties on such taxes), results in the receipt by Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of payments and benefits provided for hereunder or otherwise, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax.
(b) Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 8 shall be made by an independent advisor designated by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Executive (“Independent Advisor”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required under this Section, the Independent Advisor may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code; provided that the Independent Advisor shall assume that Executive pays all taxes at the highest marginal rate. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Independent Advisor such information and documents as the Independent Advisor may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company shall bear all costs that Independent Advisor may incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section. Any reduction of the Payments payable hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by first reducing the
8


        
cash payments under Section 7, second by reducing COBRA reimbursement and lastly by reducing any other Payments in a manner determined by the Company, in consultation with Executive in accordance with Code Section 409A.
(c) If Executive is determined to be entitled to a Reduced Amount pursuant to Section 8(a) and, notwithstanding any reduction described in this Section 8 (or in the absence of any such reduction), the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) determines that Executive is liable for the Excise Tax as a result of the receipt of one or more Payments, then Executive shall be obligated to surrender or pay back to the Company, within one hundred twenty (120) days after a final IRS determination, an amount of such payments or benefits equal to the “Repayment Amount.” The Repayment Amount with respect to such Payments shall be the smallest such amount, if any, as shall be required to be surrendered or paid to the Company so that Executive’s net proceeds with respect to such Payments (after taking into account the payment of the excise tax imposed on such Payments) shall be maximized. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Repayment Amount with respect to such Payments shall be zero if a Repayment Amount of more than zero would not eliminate the Excise Tax imposed on such Payments or if a Repayment Amount of more than zero would not maximize the net amount received by Executive from the Payments. If the Excise Tax is not eliminated pursuant to this Section 8, Executive shall pay the Excise Tax.
 
Section 9. Restrictive Covenants. Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the businesses of the Company and accordingly agrees, as a condition of Executive’s continued employment with the Company, to be bound by and comply with the Restrictive Covenants contained in Appendix B attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 1 of Appendix B or a material breach or material threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 2 of Appendix B of this Agreement would be inadequate and the Company would suffer irreparable damages as a result of such breach or threatened breach. In recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available. 

Section 10. Representation and Warranty of Executive. Executive represents and warrants to the Company that Executive has had the opportunity to consult with, and is represented by, his own tax and legal advisor(s) in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement.

Section 11. Taxes. The Company may withhold from any payments made under this Agreement all applicable taxes, including but not limited to income, employment, and social insurance taxes, as shall be required by law. Executive acknowledges and represents that the Company has not provided any tax advice to him in connection with this Agreement and that he has been advised by the Company to seek tax advice from his own tax advisors regarding this Agreement and payments that may be made to him pursuant to this Agreement, including specifically, the application of the provisions of Section 409A of the Code to such payments.

Section 12. Additional Section 409A Provisions.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary:

(a) Any payment otherwise required to be made hereunder to Executive at any date as a result of the termination of Executive’s employment shall be delayed for such period of time as may be necessary to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the “Specified Employee Delay Period”). On the first business day following the expiration of the Specified Employee Delay Period, Executive shall be paid, in a single cash lump sum, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all payments delayed pursuant to the preceding sentence, and any remaining payments not so delayed shall continue to be paid pursuant to the payment schedule set forth herein.

(b) Each payment in a series of payments hereunder shall be deemed to be a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.

(c) To the extent that any right to reimbursement of expenses or payment of any benefit in-kind under this Agreement constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) any such expense reimbursement shall be made by the Company no later than the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Executive, (ii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit, and (iii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits provided during any taxable year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other taxable year; provided, that the foregoing clause shall not be violated with regard to expenses reimbursed under any arrangement covered by Section 105(b) of the Code solely because such expenses are subject to a limit related to the period the arrangement is in effect.

(d) The payments and benefits provided hereunder are intended to be structured in a manner to avoid the implication of any penalty taxes under Section 409A of the Code and shall be interpreted consistent with such intent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalties that may be imposed on Executive as a result of Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code (other than for withholding obligations or other obligations applicable to employers, if any, under Section 409A of the Code). If any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation, including equity compensation or benefits) would cause Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall, after consulting  with and receiving the approval of Executive, reform such provision in a manner intended (but not guaranteed by the Company) to avoid the incurrence by Executive of any such additional tax or interest.

Section 13. Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

(a) The Company. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its respective successors and assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, obligations, or interests arising hereunder may be assigned by the Company to a Person without Executive’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned); providedhowever, that in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company may provide that this Agreement will be assigned to, and assumed by, the acquiror of such assets without Executive’s consent. 

(b) Executive. Executive’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be transferable by Executive by assignment or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the Company, except that Executive may assign benefits payable in the event of Executive death under Section 7(b) of this Agreement to a trust of which he is the sole beneficiary during his lifetime.

(c) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7(b) or Section 13(b) hereof, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the Company and Executive any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

Section 14. Disputes.

Section 15. Waiver and Amendments. Any waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by each of the parties; providedhowever, that any such waiver, alteration, amendment, or modification must be consented to on the Company’s behalf by the Compensation Committee and the Board. No waiver by either of the parties hereto of their rights hereunder shall be deemed to
11


        
constitute a waiver with respect to any subsequent occurrences or transactions hereunder unless such waiver specifically states that it is to be construed as a continuing waiver.
Section 16. Severability. If any covenants or such other provisions of this Agreement are found to be invalid or unenforceable by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, (a) the remaining terms and provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, and (b) the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof shall be deemed replaced by a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision hereof.
Section 17. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(F) “Restricted Group” shall mean, collectively, the Company and its Affiliates.
(G) “Timely” shall mean in a timely manner not in excess of 10 business days.
(b) Non-Disparagement.

19


        
comments made in Executive’s good faith performance of his duties hereunder shall not be deemed disparaging or defamatory for purposes of this paragraph).
The Company (via any official statement) shall not, and shall instruct its executive officers and directors to not, at any time make any public statements or public release of a defamatory or disparaging nature regarding Executive’s reputation in the business community (it being understood that comments made by the Company in the good faith and in ordinary course of business shall not be deemed disparaging or defamatory for purposes of this paragraph).

(c) It is expressly understood and agreed that, although Executive and the Company consider the restrictions contained in this Section 1 to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Appendix B is an unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of this Appendix B shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Appendix B is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein.
(d) The period of time during which the provisions of this Section 1 shall be in effect shall be extended by the length of time during which Executive is in breach of the terms hereof as determined by any court of competent jurisdiction on the Company’s application for injunctive relief.
(e) The provisions of Section 1 hereof shall survive the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, including but not limited to, any termination other than for Cause (except as otherwise set forth in Section 1 hereof).

Nature of Business
Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (along with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Bowman” or “we” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on June 5, 1995 and reincorporated in the State of Delaware on November 13, 2020. The Company’s headquarters is located in Reston, VA and the Company has over 100 offices throughout the United States and two offices in Mexico. Bowman is a professional services firm delivering innovative solutions to the marketplace of customers who own, develop and maintain the built environment. Within that arena, we provide planning, design, engineering, geospatial, survey, construction management, environmental consulting and land procurement services to markets that encompass the buildings in which people live, work and learn in; as well as the systems that provide water, electricity and other vital services, and the roads, bridges, and transportation systems used to get from place to place. We provide services to customers through fixed-price and time-and-material based contracts containing multiple milestones and independently priced deliverables. Typically, contract awards are on a negotiated basis, ranging in value from a few thousand dollars to multiple millions of dollars and can have varying durations depending on the size, scope, and complexity of the project.
The Company’s workforce typically provides the full scope of engineering and other contract services. However, with respect to certain specialty services or other compliance requirements within a particular contract, we may engage third-party sub-consultants.
Common Stock Offering
On April 1, 2024, the Company closed on an offering of common stock in which it issued and sold 1,323,530 shares at an offering price of $34.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $42.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, but before expenses of the offering.
On April 1, 2024, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 179,412 shares of the Company’s common stock at an offering price of $34.00 per share, resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $6.1 million. After giving effect to this exercise of the overallotment option, the total number of shares sold by the Company in this common stock offering increased to 1,502,942 shares with gross proceeds of approximately $51.1 million. The exercise of the over-allotment option closed on April 1, 2024, at which time the Company received net proceeds of $5.7 million after underwriting discounts and commissions.
Deferred offering costs consist primarily of accounting, legal and other fees related to the common stock offering. Prior to the offering, all deferred costs were capitalized within prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. We capitalized $0.2 million of deferred offering costs within prepaid and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. No deferred offering costs were capitalized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Significant Accounting Policies Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies and principles used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements:
Emerging Growth Company
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or, an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Revenue Recognition
As discussed in Note 1, the Company provides a variety of engineering and related professional services to customers located throughout the United States. The Company enters into agreements with clients that create enforceable rights and obligations and for which it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled as services transfer to the customer. It is customary practice for the Company to have written agreements with its customers and revenue on oral or implied arrangements is generally not recognized. The Company recognizes revenue based on the consideration specified in the applicable agreement. Excluded from the transaction price are amounts collected on behalf of third parties for sales and similar taxes.
Long-term contracts typically contain billing terms that provide for invoicing once a month and payment on a net 30-day basis. Exceptions to monthly billing are to ensure that the Company performs satisfactorily and do not represent a significant financing component. For example, certain fixed price contracts provide for milestone billings based upon the attainment of specific project objectives to ensure the Company meets its contractual requirements rather than monthly billing. Another example is, contracts that include retentions or holdbacks paid at the end of a project to ensure that the Company meets the contract requirements. The Company does not assess whether a contract contains a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of promised services to the customer will be less than one year.
As a professional services engineering firm, the Company generally recognizes revenue over time as control transfers to a customer based upon the extent of progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation.
For services delivered under fixed price contracts, the Company uses the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs since costs incurred (an input method) represents a reasonable measure of progress towards the satisfaction of a performance obligation in order to estimate the portion of revenue earned. This method faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer when the Company is satisfying a performance obligation that entails a number of interrelated tasks or activities for a combined output that requires the Company to coordinate the work of employees and sub-consultants. Contract costs typically include direct labor, subcontract and consultant costs, materials and indirect costs related to contract performance. Changes in estimated costs to complete these obligations result in adjustments to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis, so that revised estimates are recognized in the current period. Changes in estimates can routinely occur over the contract term for a variety of reasons including, changes in scope, unanticipated costs, delays or favorable or unfavorable progress that differ from original expectations. In situations where the remaining estimated costs to perform exceed the consideration to be received, the Company accrues the entire estimated loss during the period the loss becomes known.
When a performance obligation is billed using a time-and-material type contract, the Company measures its progress to complete based upon the hours incurred for the period times contractually agreed upon billing rates plus any materials delivered or consumed in the project. When applicable, the Company will recognize revenue under these contracts as invoiced under the practical expedient.
In certain situations, it is possible that two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract, or a single contract should be accounted for as multiple performance obligations. This requires significant judgment and could impact the amount and timing of revenue recognition. Such determinations are made using management’s best estimate and knowledge of contracts and related performance obligations.
The Company’s contracts may contain variable consideration in the form of unpriced or pending change orders or claims that either increase or decrease the contract price. Variable consideration is generally estimated using the expected value method but may from time to time be estimated using the most likely amount method depending on the circumstance. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are based upon historical experience and known trends.
The Company recognizes claims against vendors, sub-consultants, and others as a reduction in costs when the contract establishes enforceability, and the amounts of recovery are reasonably estimable and probable. Reduction in costs are recognized at the lesser of the amount management expects to recover or costs incurred.
Contract related assets and liabilities are classified as current assets and current liabilities. Significant balance sheet accounts related to the revenue cycle are as follows:
Accounts receivables, net:
Accounts receivable, net (contract receivables) includes amounts billed under the contract terms. The amounts are stated at their net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated number of receivables that will not be collected. The Company considers several factors in its estimated expected credit losses including knowledge of a client’s financial condition, its historical collection experience, and other factors relevant to assessing the collectability of such receivables. No single client accounted for more than 10% of the Company's outstanding receivables at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Contract Assets:
Contract Assets are recorded when progress to completion revenue earned on contracts exceeds amounts billed under the contract. It may also include contract retainages that can be billed once contract stipulations are satisfied.
Contract Liabilities:
Contract Liabilities are recorded when amounts billed under a contract exceeds the progress to completion revenue earned under the contract.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Expected Credit Losses
The Company records accounts receivable net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is determined based upon management’s review of the estimated collectability of the specific accounts receivable, client type, client credit worthiness, plus a general provision based upon the historical loss experience and existing economic conditions. The Company charges off uncollectible amounts against the allowance for doubtful accounts once management determines the amount, or a portion thereof, to be worthless. Upon determination that a specific receivable is uncollectible, the receivable is written off against the allowance for expected credit losses. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance in the allowance for expected credit losses was $2.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from the estimates and assumptions that were used.
Concentration of Credit Risk and other Concentrations
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.
Cash balances at various times during the year may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company’s cash deposits are held in institutions whose credit ratings are monitored by management, and the Company has not incurred any losses related to such deposits.
The Company can, at times, be subject to a concentration of credit risk with respect to outstanding accounts receivable. However, the Company believes no such concentration existed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, or the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s customers are located throughout the United States across diverse market sectors. Although the Company generally grants credit without collateral, management believes that its contract acceptance, billing, and collection policies are adequate to minimize material credit risk. Also, for non-governmental customers, the Company can often place mechanics liens against the real property associated with the contract in the event of non-payment.
Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) provides the framework for measuring and reporting financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The codification establishes a three-level disclosure hierarchy to indicate the level of judgment used to estimate fair value measurements:
Level 1:    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date;
Level 2:    Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices (such as interest rate and yield curves);
Level 3:    Uses inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and reflect significant management judgment.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short duration of these instruments;
The carrying amounts of debt obligations approximate their fair values as the terms are comparable to terms currently offered by local financial institutions for arrangements with similar terms to industry peers with comparable credit characteristics. Accordingly, the debt obligations involve Level 3 fair value inputs;

Fair value measurements relating to our business combinations are made primarily using Level 3 inputs including discounted cash flow and to the extent applicable, Monte Carlo simulation techniques. Fair value for the identified intangible assets is generally estimated using inputs primarily for the income approach using the multiple period excess earnings method. The significant assumptions used in estimating fair value include (i) revenue projections of the business, including profitability, (ii) attrition rates and (iii) the estimated discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows. Other personal property assets, such as property, plant and equipment, are valued using the cost approach, which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the asset less depreciation. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated using published treasury rates in the Wall St. Journal and discounting the present value along with other significant assumptions which include projections of revenue, and probabilities of meeting those projections, as well as Monte Carlo simulation techniques.

Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income tax assets or liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when the differences settle or become realized. Valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset is not realizable or recoverable in the future. As of September 30, 2024, no valuation allowances are required, and all deferred tax assets are realizable.

The Company assesses uncertain tax positions to determine whether income tax positions will more likely than not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authorities. If the Company cannot reach a more-likely-than-not determination, no benefit is recorded. If the Company determines that the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained, the Company records the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized when the tax position is settled. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. Beginning January 1, 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures in the current year and now requires taxpayers to capitalize and amortize research and development costs pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 174. The capitalized expenses are amortized over a 5-year period for domestic expenses and a 15-year period for foreign expenses. As of December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an uncertain tax return of $42.5 million related to its position regarding Section 174 costs. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company made a determination to change its accounting method for Section 174 costs, and accordingly, released an uncertain tax position reserve of $47.9 million associated with the previously established position. While this method change is a timing difference between current and deferred taxes, the effect of this release generated an income tax benefit of $4.0 million as a result of a decrease in accrued tax penalties and interest. In October 2024, the Company reevaluated its previous determination in this matter and concluded there was a reasonable basis to file the 2023 income tax return under its historical accounting method for Section 174 costs. Accordingly, the Company has re-established the aforementioned uncertain tax position, and determined that accrued penalties are no longer necessary based on the tax filing position and disclosure. As of the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company's uncertain tax position reserve for Section 174 costs was $51.1 million.
The Company recognizes the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 69.5% and 233.4%, respectively. The change in the Company’s effective tax rate is predominantly due to changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate and certain non-recurring discrete events, as discussed below. The most prominent factors impacting the estimated annual effective tax rate include an increase in projected R&D credits generated for 2024, an increase in the projected limitations of the deductible executive compensation for 2024, and an overall reduction in forecasted income for 2024 relative to 2023. With respect to the projected R&D credit, the Company anticipates the 2024 generated R&D credit to be $3.5 million as of September 30, 2024, as compared to the projected R&D credit to be generated of $2.9 million as of September 30, 2023. Similarly, the Company anticipates the annual projected limitation on the deductibility of executive compensation to be $21.3 million for 2024 as compared to $7.9 million for 2023.
Further, the Company also recognized a net discrete benefit of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a net discrete benefit of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The net discrete benefit is predominantly the result of a windfall tax benefit for restricted stock awards, penalties and interest recorded for uncertain tax positions, and other non-recurring adjustments. More specifically, the windfall tax adjustment for restricted stock awards recognized at a value higher than the grant date fair value is $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Penalties and interest accrued for uncertain tax positions was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. In addition, there was a one-time $4.0 million decrease in accrued penalties and interest for the reversal of the uncertain tax position for Section 174 costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as discussed above. Further, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a non-recurring $0.2 million reduction to the state income tax payable. These factors increased the rate by 74.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and increased the rate by 186.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain states in which it operates. Based on the timing of the filing of certain tax returns, the Company’s federal income tax returns for tax years 2020 and thereafter
remain subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The statute of limitations on the Company’s state income tax returns generally conforms to the federal three-year statute of limitations.
Segments
The Company operates in one segment based upon the financial information used by its chief operating decision maker in evaluating the financial performance of its business and allocating resources. The single segment represents the Company’s core business of providing engineering and related professional services to its customers.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Accounting guidance not yet adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires disclosure of significant segment expenses and other segment items in annual and interim periods. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the new standard.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied prospectively. Retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the new standard.
Other than those noted above, which are still being evaluated, the Company does not believe that any other recently issued standards will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings (loss) Per Share and Certain Related Information Earnings (loss) Per Share and Certain Related Information
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were either exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would share in the earnings (loss) of the Company. The dilutive effect of options is reflected in diluted earnings (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of shares to be purchased under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan is reflected in diluted earnings (loss) per share by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding that would have been outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of convertible debt is reflected in diluted earnings (loss) per share by application of the if-converted method. The Company uses the two-class method to determine earnings (loss) per share.
For calculating basic earnings (loss) per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the weighted average number of shares outstanding exclude 1,225,485 and 1,329,013 non-vested restricted shares and 2,291 and 3,561 unexercised substantive options. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 did not assume the effect of restricted shares or substantive options because the effects were antidilutive.
For calculating basic earnings per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the weighted average number of shares outstanding exclude 1,795,553 and 1,806,070 non-vested restricted shares and 7,273 and 8,501 unexercised substantive options. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 did not assume the effect of restricted shares or substantive options because the effects were antidilutive.
The following table represents a reconciliation of the net income (loss) and weighted average shares outstanding for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except share data):

Share Repurchases
On November 17, 2023, the board of directors authorized a $10 million share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $10 million of our common stock. On August 16, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized an increase to this repurchase authorization from $10 million to $25 million (collectively referred to as the "2023 Repurchase Authorization"). The authorization is effective through August 31, 2025. The execution of the repurchase program is expected to be consistent with the Company’s strategic initiatives which prioritize investments in organic and acquisitive growth. The timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by management at its discretion based on several factors including share price, market conditions and capital allocation priorities. Shares may be repurchased from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The share repurchase program does not obligate Bowman to acquire a specific number of shares of common stock and may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without notice.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 563,521 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $24.75, and has $11.1 million remaining under the 2023 Repurchase Authorization.

Business Combinations
Surdex Corporation
On April 2, 2024, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Surdex Corporation (“Surdex”), a St. Louis-based geospatial and engineering services firm providing low, medium and high-altitude digital orthoimagery, advanced high-resolution LiDAR, intelligent digital mapping, 3D hydrography, and disaster mapping. The Company paid total consideration of $43.3 million, which was comprised of cash, promissory note, common stock and assumed liabilities. The shares are subject to a six-month lock up. The promissory note bears a simple interest rate fixed at 6.50%, and is payable in equal quarterly payments of principal and interest beginning July 2024 and ending July 2027. The merger agreement contains a contingent consideration feature which affords the sellers the opportunity to earn additional consideration in the form of the Company's common stock, depending on the average trading price of the Company's common stock for the 90 trading days post-acquisition. For tax purposes, the Surdex transaction is considered a tax-free merger, in which the assets have been recorded at their respective carrying values. As a result, there is no corresponding tax goodwill, and therefore no tax goodwill to be amortized or otherwise deductible.
The following summarizes the preliminary calculations of the fair values of Surdex assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

The purchase price allocation, including the residual amount allocated to goodwill, is based on preliminary information and is subject to change as additional information concerning final asset and liability valuations are obtained and management completes its reassessment of the measurement period procedures based on the results of the preliminary valuation. During the applicable measurement period, the Company will adjust assets and liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in revised estimated values of those assets or liabilities as of that date. The effect of measurement period adjustments to the estimated fair values will be reflected as if the adjustments had been completed on the acquisition date.

Other 2024 Acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company completed six additional acquisitions in diverse geographic regions and service lines. The Company paid total consideration of $31.0 million through combinations of cash, promissory notes, shares of common stock and assumed liabilities. No cash was acquired with these acquisitions. Shares of common stock issued in connection with the acquisitions are subject to a six-month lock-up. Promissory notes bear a simple interest rate ranging from 5.00% to 6.75% and are payable in quarterly payments of principal and interest beginning May 2024 and ending in August 2027. For tax purposes, depending on the transaction, the acquisitions were treated either as an asset acquisition, in which case the assets have been stepped up and recorded at their respective fair values, or a tax-free merger, in which case the assets have been recorded at their respective carrying values. Goodwill results from an assembled workforce, which does not qualify for separate recognition, as well as expected future synergies from combining operations. For asset acquisitions, all the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. For three of the acquisitions, the purchase agreement includes a contingent consideration feature, which affords the sellers the opportunity to earn additional consideration in the form of the Company's common stock, cash and non-negotiable promissory notes, based on certain financial performance thresholds. The final settlement amount will depend on ongoing operations of the
acquired company. The payout amounts range between $0 and $1.0 million. See Note 2 Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding the fair value of contingent consideration.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, for all of the 2024 acquisitions, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments of $1.0 million increase to goodwill, $0.3 million increase in intangible assets, offset by a $0.1 million decrease to property and equipment, $0.4 million increase to equity consideration, $0.1 million increase to notes payable and $0.7 million increase to deferred tax liabilities. If the change in provisional amounts have been recorded at the acquisition date, it would not have resulted in a chance in operating income in the prior periods.
In connection with all of the 2024 acquisitions, the Company recognized $0.4 million and $1.1 million of acquisition related expenses within Other Income and Expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, including legal fees, consulting fees, and other miscellaneous expenses associated with acquisitions.
2023 Acquisitions
During 2023, the Company completed eleven acquisitions in diverse geographic regions and service lines. The Company paid total consideration of $75.7 million through combinations of cash, promissory notes, convertible notes, shares of common stock and assumed liabilities. No cash was acquired with these acquisitions. Shares of common stock are subject to a six-month lock-up. Promissory notes bear a simple interest rate ranging from 5.00% to 11.00% and are payable in quarterly payments of principal and interest beginning February 2023 and ending in December 2026. Convertible notes bear a simple interest rate ranging from 7.00% to 8.00% and are payable in lump sum payments or quarterly payments of principal and interest beginning December 2024 and ending in September 2027; see Note 12 Notes Payable for additional information regarding the convertible notes payable. For tax purposes, dependent on the transaction, the acquisitions were treated either as an asset, stock or a merger. Goodwill results from an assembled workforce, which does not qualify for separate recognition, as well as expected future synergies from combining operations. Portions of the Goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. For six of the acquisitions, the purchase agreement includes a contingent consideration feature, which affords the sellers the opportunity to earn additional consideration in the form of the Company's common stock, cash and non-negotiable promissory notes, based on certain financial performance thresholds. The final settlement amount will depend on ongoing operations of the acquired company. The payout amounts range
between $0 and $3.0 million; see Note 2 Fair Value Measurements for additional information regarding the fair value of contingent consideration.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, for the 2023 acquisitions, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments of $0.4 million increase to goodwill offset by $0.4 million increase to consideration. The change did not result in a change to operating income.
In connection with these acquisitions, the Company recognized $0.2 million and $0.7 million of acquisition related expenses within Other Income and Expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, including legal fees, consulting fees, and other miscellaneous expenses associated with acquisitions.

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
We lease certain office space, equipment and vehicles. These leases are either non-cancelable, cancellable only by the payment of penalties or cancellable upon notice provided. All lease payments are based on the lapse of time and certain leases are subject to annual escalations for increases in base rents. The Company's lease terms includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability for its operating leases at the commencement date equal to the present value of the contractual minimum lease payments over the lease term. The present value is calculated using the rate implicit in the lease, if known, or the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The discount rate used for operating leases is primarily determined based on an analysis of the Company's borrowing rate, while the discount rate used for finance leases is primarily determined by the rate specified in the lease.
Operating and Finance Leases
The Company's operating leases primarily include material leases of buildings (consisting primarily of office lease commitments) and equipment. These leases are classified as operating leases and are recognized as right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company's finance leases primarily include equipment and vehicles in certain contracts with payment terms on the lease agreements that range between 30 and 50 months.

Leases Leases
We lease certain office space, equipment and vehicles. These leases are either non-cancelable, cancellable only by the payment of penalties or cancellable upon notice provided. All lease payments are based on the lapse of time and certain leases are subject to annual escalations for increases in base rents. The Company's lease terms includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and lease liability for its operating leases at the commencement date equal to the present value of the contractual minimum lease payments over the lease term. The present value is calculated using the rate implicit in the lease, if known, or the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The discount rate used for operating leases is primarily determined based on an analysis of the Company's borrowing rate, while the discount rate used for finance leases is primarily determined by the rate specified in the lease.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial information. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows. The results of operations for the current period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year or the results for any future periods.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Emerging Growth Company
Emerging Growth Company
Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or, an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period, difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognition
As discussed in Note 1, the Company provides a variety of engineering and related professional services to customers located throughout the United States. The Company enters into agreements with clients that create enforceable rights and obligations and for which it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled as services transfer to the customer. It is customary practice for the Company to have written agreements with its customers and revenue on oral or implied arrangements is generally not recognized. The Company recognizes revenue based on the consideration specified in the applicable agreement. Excluded from the transaction price are amounts collected on behalf of third parties for sales and similar taxes.
Long-term contracts typically contain billing terms that provide for invoicing once a month and payment on a net 30-day basis. Exceptions to monthly billing are to ensure that the Company performs satisfactorily and do not represent a significant financing component. For example, certain fixed price contracts provide for milestone billings based upon the attainment of specific project objectives to ensure the Company meets its contractual requirements rather than monthly billing. Another example is, contracts that include retentions or holdbacks paid at the end of a project to ensure that the Company meets the contract requirements. The Company does not assess whether a contract contains a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of promised services to the customer will be less than one year.
As a professional services engineering firm, the Company generally recognizes revenue over time as control transfers to a customer based upon the extent of progress towards satisfaction of the performance obligation.
For services delivered under fixed price contracts, the Company uses the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs since costs incurred (an input method) represents a reasonable measure of progress towards the satisfaction of a performance obligation in order to estimate the portion of revenue earned. This method faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer when the Company is satisfying a performance obligation that entails a number of interrelated tasks or activities for a combined output that requires the Company to coordinate the work of employees and sub-consultants. Contract costs typically include direct labor, subcontract and consultant costs, materials and indirect costs related to contract performance. Changes in estimated costs to complete these obligations result in adjustments to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis, so that revised estimates are recognized in the current period. Changes in estimates can routinely occur over the contract term for a variety of reasons including, changes in scope, unanticipated costs, delays or favorable or unfavorable progress that differ from original expectations. In situations where the remaining estimated costs to perform exceed the consideration to be received, the Company accrues the entire estimated loss during the period the loss becomes known.
When a performance obligation is billed using a time-and-material type contract, the Company measures its progress to complete based upon the hours incurred for the period times contractually agreed upon billing rates plus any materials delivered or consumed in the project. When applicable, the Company will recognize revenue under these contracts as invoiced under the practical expedient.
In certain situations, it is possible that two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract, or a single contract should be accounted for as multiple performance obligations. This requires significant judgment and could impact the amount and timing of revenue recognition. Such determinations are made using management’s best estimate and knowledge of contracts and related performance obligations.
The Company’s contracts may contain variable consideration in the form of unpriced or pending change orders or claims that either increase or decrease the contract price. Variable consideration is generally estimated using the expected value method but may from time to time be estimated using the most likely amount method depending on the circumstance. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Estimates of variable consideration are based upon historical experience and known trends.
The Company recognizes claims against vendors, sub-consultants, and others as a reduction in costs when the contract establishes enforceability, and the amounts of recovery are reasonably estimable and probable. Reduction in costs are recognized at the lesser of the amount management expects to recover or costs incurred.
Contract related assets and liabilities are classified as current assets and current liabilities. Significant balance sheet accounts related to the revenue cycle are as follows:
Accounts receivables, net:
Accounts receivable, net (contract receivables) includes amounts billed under the contract terms. The amounts are stated at their net realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated number of receivables that will not be collected. The Company considers several factors in its estimated expected credit losses including knowledge of a client’s financial condition, its historical collection experience, and other factors relevant to assessing the collectability of such receivables. No single client accounted for more than 10% of the Company's outstanding receivables at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Contract Assets:
Contract Assets are recorded when progress to completion revenue earned on contracts exceeds amounts billed under the contract. It may also include contract retainages that can be billed once contract stipulations are satisfied.
Contract Liabilities:
Contract Liabilities are recorded when amounts billed under a contract exceeds the progress to completion revenue earned under the contract.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Expected Credit Losses
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Expected Credit Losses
The Company records accounts receivable net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance is determined based upon management’s review of the estimated collectability of the specific accounts receivable, client type, client credit worthiness, plus a general provision based upon the historical loss experience and existing economic conditions. The Company charges off uncollectible amounts against the allowance for doubtful accounts once management determines the amount, or a portion thereof, to be worthless. Upon determination that a specific receivable is uncollectible, the receivable is written off against the allowance for expected credit losses.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from the estimates and assumptions that were used.
Concentration of Credit Risk and other Concentrations Concentration of Credit Risk and other Concentrations
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable.
Cash balances at various times during the year may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company’s cash deposits are held in institutions whose credit ratings are monitored by management, and the Company has not incurred any losses related to such deposits.
The Company can, at times, be subject to a concentration of credit risk with respect to outstanding accounts receivable. However, the Company believes no such concentration existed during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, or the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s customers are located throughout the United States across diverse market sectors. Although the Company generally grants credit without collateral, management believes that its contract acceptance, billing, and collection policies are adequate to minimize material credit risk. Also, for non-governmental customers, the Company can often place mechanics liens against the real property associated with the contract in the event of non-payment.
Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”) provides the framework for measuring and reporting financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The codification establishes a three-level disclosure hierarchy to indicate the level of judgment used to estimate fair value measurements:
Level 1:    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date;
Level 2:    Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices (such as interest rate and yield curves);
Level 3:    Uses inputs that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and reflect significant management judgment.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short duration of these instruments;
The carrying amounts of debt obligations approximate their fair values as the terms are comparable to terms currently offered by local financial institutions for arrangements with similar terms to industry peers with comparable credit characteristics. Accordingly, the debt obligations involve Level 3 fair value inputs;

Fair value measurements relating to our business combinations are made primarily using Level 3 inputs including discounted cash flow and to the extent applicable, Monte Carlo simulation techniques. Fair value for the identified intangible assets is generally estimated using inputs primarily for the income approach using the multiple period excess earnings method. The significant assumptions used in estimating fair value include (i) revenue projections of the business, including profitability, (ii) attrition rates and (iii) the estimated discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows. Other personal property assets, such as property, plant and equipment, are valued using the cost approach, which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the asset less depreciation. The fair value of the contingent consideration is estimated using published treasury rates in the Wall St. Journal and discounting the present value along with other significant assumptions which include projections of revenue, and probabilities of meeting those projections, as well as Monte Carlo simulation techniques.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income tax assets or liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when the differences settle or become realized. Valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset is not realizable or recoverable in the future. As of September 30, 2024, no valuation allowances are required, and all deferred tax assets are realizable.

The Company assesses uncertain tax positions to determine whether income tax positions will more likely than not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authorities. If the Company cannot reach a more-likely-than-not determination, no benefit is recorded. If the Company determines that the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained, the Company records the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized when the tax position is settled. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. Beginning January 1, 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures in the current year and now requires taxpayers to capitalize and amortize research and development costs pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 174. The capitalized expenses are amortized over a 5-year period for domestic expenses and a 15-year period for foreign expenses. As of December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an uncertain tax return of $42.5 million related to its position regarding Section 174 costs. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company made a determination to change its accounting method for Section 174 costs, and accordingly, released an uncertain tax position reserve of $47.9 million associated with the previously established position. While this method change is a timing difference between current and deferred taxes, the effect of this release generated an income tax benefit of $4.0 million as a result of a decrease in accrued tax penalties and interest. In October 2024, the Company reevaluated its previous determination in this matter and concluded there was a reasonable basis to file the 2023 income tax return under its historical accounting method for Section 174 costs. Accordingly, the Company has re-established the aforementioned uncertain tax position, and determined that accrued penalties are no longer necessary based on the tax filing position and disclosure. As of the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company's uncertain tax position reserve for Section 174 costs was $51.1 million.
The Company recognizes the effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 69.5% and 233.4%, respectively. The change in the Company’s effective tax rate is predominantly due to changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate and certain non-recurring discrete events, as discussed below. The most prominent factors impacting the estimated annual effective tax rate include an increase in projected R&D credits generated for 2024, an increase in the projected limitations of the deductible executive compensation for 2024, and an overall reduction in forecasted income for 2024 relative to 2023. With respect to the projected R&D credit, the Company anticipates the 2024 generated R&D credit to be $3.5 million as of September 30, 2024, as compared to the projected R&D credit to be generated of $2.9 million as of September 30, 2023. Similarly, the Company anticipates the annual projected limitation on the deductibility of executive compensation to be $21.3 million for 2024 as compared to $7.9 million for 2023.
Further, the Company also recognized a net discrete benefit of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a net discrete benefit of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The net discrete benefit is predominantly the result of a windfall tax benefit for restricted stock awards, penalties and interest recorded for uncertain tax positions, and other non-recurring adjustments. More specifically, the windfall tax adjustment for restricted stock awards recognized at a value higher than the grant date fair value is $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Penalties and interest accrued for uncertain tax positions was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. In addition, there was a one-time $4.0 million decrease in accrued penalties and interest for the reversal of the uncertain tax position for Section 174 costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as discussed above. Further, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a non-recurring $0.2 million reduction to the state income tax payable. These factors increased the rate by 74.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and increased the rate by 186.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain states in which it operates. Based on the timing of the filing of certain tax returns, the Company’s federal income tax returns for tax years 2020 and thereafter
remain subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The statute of limitations on the Company’s state income tax returns generally conforms to the federal three-year statute of limitations.
