1.2Purpose.  The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Participating Company Group and its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward persons performing services for the Participating Company Group and by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Participating Company Group.  The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards.
1.3Term of Plan.  The Plan shall continue in effect until the earlier of 10 years from the Effective Date or its termination by the Board or the Committee.

(ii) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

For purposes of the preceding sentence, indirect beneficial ownership shall include an interest resulting from ownership of the voting securities of one or more corporations or other business entities which own the Company or the Transferee, as the case may be, either directly or through one or more subsidiary corporations or other business entities.  The Committee shall have the right to determine whether multiple sales or exchanges of the voting securities of the Company or multiple Ownership Change Events are related, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

3.6Indemnification.  In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or the Committee or as officers or employees of the Participating Company Group, members of the Board or the Committee and any officers or employees of the Participating Company Group to whom authority to act for the Board, the Committee or the Company is delegated shall be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however, that within 60 days after the institution of such action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend the same.
4.SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN.
4.1Maximum Number of Shares Issuable.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.3, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be equal to (i) 6,500,000 shares of Stock, plus (ii) the number of shares of Stock subject to any award outstanding under the Prior Plan as of the Effective Date that after the Effective Date are not issued because such award is forfeited, is canceled, terminates, expires or otherwise lapses without being exercised (to the extent applicable), or is settled in cash.  The shares of Stock that may be issued under this Plan shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Stock or any combination thereof.
4.2Share Accounting.  If an outstanding Award is forfeited, canceled, terminates, expires or otherwise lapses without being exercised (to the extent applicable), or is settled in cash or is repurchased by the Company for an amount not greater than the Participant’s original purchase price, the shares of Stock allocable to the terminated portion of such Award or such forfeited or repurchased shares of Stock shall again be available for issuance under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares withheld or reacquired by the Company in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations pursuant to Section 14.2 or in payment of any exercise price of an Option shall not again be available for issuance under the Plan.  Upon payment in shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of an SAR or an Option, the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares for which the SAR or Option is exercised.  Shares of Stock repurchased by the Company on the open market using the proceeds from the exercise of an Award shall not increase the number of shares available for the future grant of Awards hereunder.  
4.3Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure.  Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the

7


capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (excepting normal cash dividends) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and kind of shares subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Awards, and in the exercise or purchase price per share under any outstanding Award in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights under the Plan.  For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as “effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.” If a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to outstanding Awards are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership Change Event) shares of another corporation (the “New Shares”), the Committee may unilaterally amend the outstanding Awards to provide that such Awards are for New Shares.  In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the exercise or purchase price per share of, the outstanding Awards shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner as determined by the Committee, in its discretion.  Any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and in no event may the exercise or purchase price under any Award be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to such Award.  The Committee in its sole discretion, may also make such adjustments in the terms of any Award to reflect, or related to, such changes in the capital structure of the Company or distributions as it deems appropriate, including modification of Performance Goals and Performance Periods.  The adjustments determined by the Committee pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be final, binding and conclusive.

4.4Substitute Awards.  Substitute Awards shall not reduce the shares of Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan. Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by any Participating Company, or with which any Participating Company combines, has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by stockholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to determine the consideration payable to the holders of common stock of the entities party to such acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not reduce the shares of Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan; provided that, Awards using such available shares (a) shall not be made after the date awards or grants could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan, absent the acquisition or combination, (b) shall only be made to individuals who were not employees or service providers of any Participating Company at the time of such acquisition or combination, and (c) shall comply with the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed.
5.ELIGIBILITY, PARTICIPATION AND AWARD LIMITATIONS.
5.1Persons Eligible for Awards.  Awards may be granted only to Employees, Consultants and Directors.
5.2Participation in Plan.  Awards are granted solely at the discretion of the Committee.  Eligible persons may be granted more than one Award.  However, eligibility in accordance with this Section shall not entitle any person to be granted an Award, or, having been granted an Award, to be granted an additional Award.
5.3Award Limitations.
(a)Incentive Stock Option Limitations.
(i) Maximum Number of Shares Issuable Pursuant to Incentive Stock Options.  Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed 6,500,000.  The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to all Awards other than Incentive Stock Options shall be the number of shares determined in accordance with Section 4.1, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 and Section 4.3.
(ii) Persons Eligible.  An Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to a person who, on the effective date of grant, is an Employee of the Company, a Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary Corporation (each being an “ISO-Qualifying Corporation”). Any person who is not an Employee of an ISO-Qualifying Corporation on the effective date of the grant of an Option to such person may be granted only a Nonstatutory Stock Option.  An Incentive Stock Option granted to a prospective Employee upon the condition that such person become an Employee of an ISO-Qualifying Corporation shall be deemed granted effective on the date

8


such person commences Service with an ISO-Qualifying Corporation, with an exercise price determined as of such date in accordance with Section 8.2.
(iii) Fair Market Value Limitation.  To the extent that options designated as Incentive Stock Options (granted under all stock option plans of the Participating Company Group, including the Plan) become exercisable by a Participant for the first time during any calendar year for stock having a Fair Market Value greater than $100,000, the portion of such options which exceeds such amount shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.  For purposes of this Section, options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of the time the option with respect to such stock is granted.  If the Code is amended to provide for a limitation different from that set forth in this Section, such different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with respect to such Options as required or permitted by such amendment to the Code.  If an Option is treated as an Incentive Stock Option in part and as a Nonstatutory Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section, the Participant may designate which portion of such Option the Participant is exercising.  In the absence of such designation, the Participant shall be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option first.  Upon exercise, shares issued pursuant to each such portion shall be separately identified.
(iv) Date of Grant.  Notwithstanding Section 1.3, no Incentive Stock Options shall be granted following February 22, 2033.
(b)Minimum Vesting.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, Awards granted under the Plan shall vest no earlier than the first anniversary of the date on which the Award is granted; provided, however, that the following Awards shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum vesting requirement: (i) Substitute Awards, (ii) Awards to non-employee Directors that vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the next annual meeting of stockholders which is at least 50 weeks after the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting, (iii) Awards that vest in connection with a Participant’s death, Disability, retirement or upon or following a Change in Control, and (iv) any shares of Stock issued under additional Awards the Committee may grant, up to a maximum of 5% of the available share reserve authorized for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 4.1 (subject to adjustment under Sections 4.2 and 4.3).
(c)Limit on Non-Employee Director Compensation.  The aggregate dollar value of equity-based (based on the grant date Fair Market Value of equity-based Awards) and cash compensation granted under this Plan or otherwise to any non-employee Director shall not exceed $500,000 during any calendar year; provided, however, that in the calendar year in which a non-employee Director first joins the Board or during any calendar year in which a non-employee Director is designated as Chairman of the Board or Lead Director, the maximum aggregate dollar value of equity-based and cash compensation granted to the non-employee director may be up to $800,000 during any calendar year; and provided, further, however, that fees paid by the Company on behalf of any non-employee Director in connection with regulatory compliance and any amounts paid to a non-employee Director as reimbursement of an expense shall not count against the foregoing limit. The Board may make exceptions to this limit for individual non-employee Directors in extraordinary circumstances, as the Board may determine in its discretion, provided that the non-employee Director receiving such additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award such compensation. For the avoidance of doubt, this limitation shall not apply to cash or Awards granted to a non-employee Director in his or her capacity as an advisor or consultant to the Company.  
(d)No Reload Grants.  No term of an Award shall provide for automatic “reload” grants of additional Awards upon the exercise of an Option or SAR.
(e)Transferability.  During the lifetime of the Participant, Options, SARs and Stock Purchase Rights shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.  Awards shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Committee, in its discretion, an Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option) shall be assignable or transferable subject to the applicable limitations, if any, described in the General Instructions to Form S-8 Registration Statement under the

9


Securities Act; provided, however, that no Award shall be assignable or transferable to any third-party financial institution.
6.STOCK OPTIONS.

Options shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish.  No Option or purported Option shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement.  Award Agreements evidencing Options may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

6.1Exercise Price.  The exercise price for each Option shall be established in the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share of an Option shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner shall have an exercise price per share less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option) may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying under the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.
6.2Exercisability and Term of Options.  Options shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that (a) no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years after the effective date of grant of such Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner shall be exercisable after the expiration of five years after the effective date of grant of such Option.  Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the grant of an Option, each Option shall terminate 10 years after the effective date of grant of the Option, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions.
6.3Payment of Exercise Price.
(a)Forms of Consideration Authorized.  Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash or by check or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value not less than the exercise price, (iii) by delivery of a properly executed notice of exercise together with irrevocable instructions to a broker providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (a “Cashless Exercise”), (iv) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Committee from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (v) by any combination thereof.  The Committee may at any time or from time to time grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.
(b)Limitations on Forms of Consideration.
(i) Tender of Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock to the extent such tender or attestation would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company’s stock.  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Participant for more than six months (or such other period, if any, as the Committee may permit) and not used for another Option exercise by attestation during such period, or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.

10


(ii) Cashless Exercise.  The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise, including with respect to one or more Participants specified by the Company notwithstanding that such program or procedures may be available to other Participants.
6.4Effect of Termination of Service.
(a)Option Exercisability.  Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided by the Committee, an Option shall terminate immediately upon the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent that it is then unvested and shall be exercisable after the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent it is then vested only during the applicable time period set forth in the Award Agreement.
(b)Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than upon a termination for Cause, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time period set forth in the Award Agreement is prevented by the provisions of Section 13 below, the Option shall remain exercisable until three months (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee, in its discretion) after the date the Participant is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the original expiration date of the Option.
(c)Extension if Participant is Subject to Section 16(b).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than upon a termination for Cause, if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in the Award Agreement of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would subject the Participant to liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the 10th day following the date on which a sale of such shares by the Participant would no longer be subject to such liability, (ii) the 190th day after the Participant’s termination of Service, or (iii) the original expiration date of the Option.
7.STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish.  No SAR or purported SAR shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement.  Award Agreements evidencing SARs may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

7.1Types of SARs Authorized.  SARs may be granted in tandem with all or any portion of a related Option (a “Tandem SAR”) or may be granted independently of any Option (a “Freestanding SAR”).  A Tandem SAR may only be granted concurrently with the grant of the related Option.
7.2Exercise Price.  The exercise price for each SAR shall be established in the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share subject to a Tandem SAR shall be the exercise price per share under the related Option and (b) the exercise price per share subject to a Freestanding SAR shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the SAR.
7.3Exercisability and Term of SARs.
(a)Tandem SARs.  Tandem SARs shall be exercisable only at the time and to the extent, and only to the extent, that the related Option is exercisable, subject to such provisions as the Committee may specify where the Tandem SAR is granted with respect to less than the full number of shares of Stock subject to the related Option.  The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Tandem SAR that such SAR may not be exercised without the advance approval of the Company and, if such approval is not given, then the Option shall nevertheless remain exercisable in accordance with its terms.  A Tandem SAR shall terminate and cease to be exercisable no later than the date on which the related Option expires or is terminated or canceled.  Upon the exercise of a Tandem SAR with respect to some or all of the shares subject to such SAR,

11


the related Option shall be canceled automatically as to the number of shares with respect to which the Tandem SAR was exercised.  Upon the exercise of an Option related to a Tandem SAR as to some or all of the shares subject to such Option, the related Tandem SAR shall be canceled automatically as to the number of shares with respect to which the related Option was exercised.
(b)Freestanding SARs.  Freestanding SARs shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such SAR; provided, however, that no Freestanding SAR shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years after the effective date of grant of such SAR.
7.4Exercise of SARs.  Upon the exercise (or deemed exercise pursuant to Section 7.5) of an SAR, the Participant (or the Participant’s legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the SAR by reason of the Participant’s death) shall be entitled to receive payment of an amount for each share with respect to which the SAR is exercised equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR over the exercise price.  Payment of such amount shall be made (a) in the case of a Tandem SAR, solely in shares of Stock in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the date of exercise of the SAR and (b) in the case of a Freestanding SAR, in cash, shares of Stock, or any combination thereof as determined by the Committee in compliance with Section 409A.  Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement evidencing a Freestanding SAR, payment shall be made in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the date of exercise of the SAR.  When payment is to be made in shares of Stock, the number of shares to be issued shall be determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR.  For purposes of Section 7, an SAR shall be deemed exercised on the date on which the Company receives notice of exercise from the Participant or as otherwise provided in Section 7.5.
7.5Deemed Exercise of SARs.  If, on the date on which an SAR would otherwise terminate or expire, the SAR by its terms remains exercisable immediately prior to such termination or expiration and, if so exercised, would result in a payment to the holder of such SAR, then any portion of such SAR which has not previously been exercised shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion.
7.6Effect of Termination of Service.  Subject to earlier termination of the SAR as otherwise provided herein, an SAR shall be exercisable after a Participant’s termination of Service only to the extent and during the applicable time period set forth in the Award Agreement.
8.STOCK AWARDS.

Stock Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish.  No Stock Award or purported Stock Award shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement.  Award Agreements evidencing Stock Awards may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

8.1Grant of Stock Awards.  Stock Awards may be granted upon such conditions as the Committee shall determine.  Subject to Section 5.3(b), Stock Awards may (but need not) be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including Performance Goals, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award.
8.2Purchase Price.  The purchase price, if any, for shares of Stock issuable under each Stock Award shall be established by the Committee in its discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable state corporate law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock subject to a Stock Award. Payment of the purchase price for a Stock Award, if any, shall be made (a) in cash or by check or cash equivalent, (b) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Committee from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (c) by any combination thereof.  The Committee may at any time or from time to time grant Stock Awards which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the purchase price or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.

12


8.3Voting Rights; Dividends and Distributions.  Except as provided in this Section 8.3 and any Award Agreement, during any Restriction Period applicable to shares subject to a Stock Award, the Participant shall have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding shares of Stock, including the right to vote such shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares.  However, in the event of a dividend or distribution, such dividend or distribution shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as the shares subject to the Stock Award with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid.
9.RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS.

Awards of Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish.  No Award or purported Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement.  Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Units may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

9.1Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  Restricted Stock Units may be granted upon such conditions as the Committee shall determine.  Subject to Section 5.3(b), Restricted Stock Units may (but need not) be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including Performance Goals, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award.
9.2Purchase Price.  No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) shall be required as a condition of receiving an Award of Restricted Stock Units, the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable state corporate law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.
9.3Voting Rights, Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions.  Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Restricted Stock Units until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).  However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Restricted Stock Units that the Participant shall be entitled to accrue Dividend Equivalents with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the period beginning on the date such Award is granted and ending, with respect to the particular shares subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date the Award is settled or the date on which it is terminated.  Such Dividend Equivalents, if any, may, as determined by the Committee, accrue in the form of additional Restricted Stock Units or as an unfunded cash balance in a notional account.  Accrued Dividend Equivalents, if any, will only be paid to the extent that the Restricted Stock Units to which such accrued Dividend Equivalents relate become vested or are otherwise to be settled.
9.4Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.  The Company shall issue to a Participant on the date on which Restricted Stock Units vest or on such other date set forth in the Award Agreement one share of Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit then becoming vested or otherwise to be settled on such date, subject to the withholding of applicable taxes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for settlement of any Restricted Stock Units by payment to the Participant in cash of an amount equal to the Fair Market Value on the payment date of the shares of Stock or other property otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to this Section 9.4.  The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement evidencing Restricted Stock Units that, if the settlement of the Award with respect to any shares would otherwise occur on a day on which the sale of such shares would violate the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, then the settlement with respect to such shares shall occur on the next day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Insider Trading Policy.
10.PERFORMANCE AWARDS.

Performance Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish.  No Performance Award or purported Performance Award shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement.  Award Agreements evidencing Performance Awards may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

13


10.1Types of Performance Awards Authorized.  Performance Awards may be granted in the form of Performance Shares, Performance Units or in any other form of Award under the Plan that is subject to Performance Goal(s).  Each Award Agreement evidencing a Performance Award shall specify the Performance Goal(s) and Performance Period applicable to the Award, and the other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Award.
10.2Initial Value of Performance Shares and Performance Units.  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in granting a Performance Award, each Performance Share shall have an initial monetary value equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, on the effective date of grant of the Performance Share, and each Performance Unit shall have an initial monetary value established by the Committee at the time of grant.  The final value payable to the Participant in settlement of a Performance Award will depend on the extent to which Performance Goals established by the Committee are attained within the applicable Performance Period established by the Committee.
10.3Settlement of Performance Awards.
(a)Determination of Final Value.  As soon as practicable following the completion of the Performance Period applicable to a Performance Award, the Committee shall certify in writing the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained and the resulting final value of the Award earned by the Participant and to be paid upon its settlement.
(b)Adjustment of Award Formula.  In its discretion, the Committee may, either at the time it grants a Performance Award or at any time thereafter, provide for the positive or negative adjustment of the Performance Award to reflect such Participant’s individual performance in his or her position with the Company or such other factors as the Committee may determine, including adjustments to account for unanticipated events or occurrences at the time a Performance Goal was established or other unusual or nonrecurring events.  
(c)Notice to Participants.  As soon as practicable following the Committee’s determination and certification in accordance with Sections 10.3(a) and (b), the Company shall notify each Participant of the determination of the Committee.
(d)Payment in Settlement of Performance Awards. Payment shall be made to each eligible Participant of the final value of the Participant’s Performance Award following the Committee’s determination and certification in accordance with Sections 10.3(a) and (b) as set forth in the Award Agreement.
10.4Voting Rights; Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions.  Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Performance Shares until the date of the issuance of such shares, if any (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).  However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Performance Shares that the Participant shall be entitled to accrue Dividend Equivalents with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the period beginning on the date the Award is granted and ending, with respect to the particular shares subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date on which the Performance Shares are settled or the date on which they are forfeited.  Such Dividend Equivalents, if any, may, as determined by the Committee, accrue in the form of additional Performance Shares or in a notional account.  Accrued Dividend Equivalents, if any, will only be paid to the extent that the Performance Goals underlying the original Performance Shares have been attained and the Performance Shares to which such Dividend Equivalents relate become vested or are otherwise to be settled, as determined by the Committee.  Settlement of Dividend Equivalents may be made in cash, shares of Stock, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee, and may be paid on the same basis as settlement of the related Performance Share.  
11.OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS.  The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant Other Stock-Based Awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of this Plan, including convertible or exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Stock, other rights convertible into shares of Stock and Awards valued by reference to the book value of Stock or the value of securities of specified subsidiaries, affiliates or business segments or units.  The Committee may determine the terms and conditions of such Other Stock-Based Awards, which may be awarded either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other Awards under this Plan.

14


12.CHANGE IN CONTROL.

In the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may provide for any one or more of the following:

12.1Accelerated Vesting.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide in any Award Agreement or otherwise take such actions as it deems appropriate to provide for the acceleration of the exercisability and vesting or the lapse of the Restriction Period, as applicable, in connection with such Change in Control of any or all outstanding Awards upon such conditions, including termination of the Participant’s Service prior to, upon or following such Change in Control, and to such extent as the Committee shall determine.
12.2Assumption or Substitution.  The surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiror”), may, without the consent of any Participant, either assume or continue the Company’s rights and obligations under outstanding Awards, or substitute for outstanding Awards substantially equivalent awards for the Acquiror’s stock.
12.3Cash-Out.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any Participant, determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each or any Award outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control shall be canceled in exchange for a payment with respect to each vested share (and each unvested share, if so determined by the Committee) of Stock subject to such canceled Award in (i) cash, (ii) stock of the Company or of a corporation or other business entity a party to the Change in Control, or (iii) other property which, in any such case, shall be in an amount having a Fair Market Value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Stock in the Change in Control over the exercise price or purchase price per share, if applicable, under such Award (the “Spread”).  In the event such determination is made by the Committee, the Spread (reduced by applicable withholding taxes, if any) shall be paid to Participants in respect of the vested portion of their canceled Awards as soon as practicable following the date of the Change in Control, subject to Section 409A, and in respect of the unvested portion of their canceled Awards in accordance with the vesting schedule applicable to such Awards as in effect prior to the Change in Control, subject to the Committee’s authority set forth in Section 12.1.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Option or SAR with an exercise price or purchase price per share equal to or greater than the consideration to be paid per share of Stock in the Change in Control may be, without the consent of any Participant, canceled for no consideration.

In no event shall any action be taken pursuant to this Section 12 that would change the payment or settlement date of an Award in a manner that would result in the imposition of any additional taxes or penalties pursuant to Section 409A.

13.COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW.

The grant of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to any Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state and foreign law with respect to such securities and the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed.  In addition, no Award may be exercised or shares issued pursuant to an Award unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of such exercise or issuance be in effect with respect to the shares issuable pursuant to the Award or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable pursuant to the Award may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.  The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.  As a condition to issuance of any Stock, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

14.TAX WITHHOLDING.
14.1Tax Withholding in General.  The Company shall have the right to deduct from any and all payments made under the Plan, or to require the Participant, through payroll withholding, cash payment, broker-assisted sale, or otherwise, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld by the Participating Company Group with respect to an Award or the shares acquired pursuant thereto.  The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock, to release shares of Stock from an escrow established pursuant to an Award

15


Agreement, or to make any payment in cash under the Plan until the Participating Company Group’s tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Participant.

14.2Withholding in Shares.  If provided for in an Award or approved by the Board, a Participant may satisfy the tax obligations in whole or in part by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Stock, including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their fair market value (valued in the manner determined or approved by the Company); provided, however, except as otherwise provided by the Board, that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income), except that, to the extent that the Company is able to retain shares of Stock having a fair market value (determined or approved by the Company) that exceeds the statutory minimum applicable withholding tax without financial accounting implications or the Company is withholding in a jurisdiction that does not have a statutory minimum withholding tax, the Company may retain such number of shares of Stock (up to the number of shares having a fair market value equal to the maximum individual statutory rate of tax (determined or approved by the Company)) as the Company shall determine to be necessary to satisfy the tax liability associated with any Award.  Shares used to satisfy tax withholding requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements.
15.AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN.

The Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.  However, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, there shall be (a) no increase in the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of the provisions of Sections 4.3 and 4.4), (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive Awards, and (c) no other amendment of the Plan that would require approval of the Company’s stockholders under any applicable law, regulation or rule, including the rules of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed.  No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall affect any then outstanding Award unless expressly provided by the Committee.  No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may adversely affect any then outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant or other adequate consideration therefor (as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee); provided however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the consent of any Participant, amend the Plan or any Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or such Award Agreement to any present or future law, regulation or rule applicable to the Plan, including Section 409A.

16.COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A.
16.1Deferral of Payment.  The Committee may, in an Award Agreement or otherwise, provide for the deferred delivery of Stock or cash upon vesting or other events with respect to Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will any election to defer the delivery of Stock or any other payment with respect to any Award be allowed if the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the deferral would result in the imposition of the additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code.  
16.2Committee Authority; No Liability.  Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award that is “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, the Committee shall exercise its discretion in a manner that causes such Awards to be compliant with or exempt from the requirements of Section 409A. Without limiting the foregoing, unless expressly agreed to in writing by the Participant holding such Award, the Committee shall not take any action with respect to any Award which constitutes (a) a modification of a stock right within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(B) so as to constitute the grant of a new stock right, (b) an extension of a stock right, including the addition of a feature for the deferral of compensation within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1 (b)(5)(v)(C), or (c) an impermissible acceleration of a payment date or a subsequent deferral of a stock right subject to Section 409A within the meaning of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(E).  The Company, any Affiliate which is in existence or hereafter comes into existence, the Board, the Committee or its delegates shall have no liability to a Participant, or any other party, if an Award that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Board or the Committee in respect thereof.
16.3Specified Employee Delay.  To the extent any payment under this Plan is considered deferred compensation subject to the restrictions contained in Section 409A, such payment may not be made to a specified employee (as

16


determined in accordance with a uniform policy adopted by the Company with respect to all arrangements subject to Section 409A) upon “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) before the date that is six months after the specified employee’s separation form service (or, if earlier, the specified employee’s death).  Any payment that would otherwise be made during this period of delay shall be accumulated and paid on the sixth month plus one day following the specified employee’s separation from service (or, if earlier, as soon as administratively practicable after the specified employee’s death).

17.MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
17.1Repurchase Rights.  Shares issued under the Plan may be subject to one or more repurchase options, or other conditions and restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion at the time the Award is granted.  The Company shall have the right to assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company.  Upon request by the Company, each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions.
17.2Clawback; Forfeiture Events.
(a)The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award.  Such events may include termination of Service for Cause or any act by a Participant, whether before or after termination of Service, that would constitute Cause for termination of Service.
(b)If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, any Participant who knowingly or through gross negligence engaged in the misconduct, or who knowingly or through gross negligence failed to prevent the misconduct, and any Participant who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of an Award earned or accrued during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement.
(c)Awards granted under this Plan will also be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Company adopts or is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law.  In addition, the Committee may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate, including a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired shares of Stock or other cash or property upon the occurrence of misconduct.  No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy or under Section 17.2(b) will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason” or be deemed a “constructive termination” (or any similar term) as such terms are used in any agreement between any Participant and the Company.
17.3Rights as Employee, Consultant or Director.  No person, even though eligible pursuant to Section 5, shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant.  Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall confer on any Participant a right to remain an Employee, Consultant or Director or interfere with or limit in any way any right of a Participating Company to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time.  To the extent that an Employee of a Participating Company other than the Company receives an Award under the Plan, that Award shall in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that the Company is the Employee’s employer or that the Employee has an employment relationship with the Company.
17.4Rights as a Stockholder.  A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by an Award until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).  No adjustment shall be made for dividends,

17


distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are issued, except as provided in Section 4.3 or another provision of the Plan.

17.5Delivery of Title to Shares.  Subject to any governing rules or regulations, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Award and shall deliver such shares to or for the benefit of the Participant by means of one or more of the following:  (a) by delivering to the Participant evidence of book entry shares of Stock credited to the account of the Participant, (b) by depositing such shares of Stock for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship, or (c) by delivering such shares of Stock to the Participant in certificate form.
17.6Fractional Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise or settlement of any Award.
17.7Retirement and Welfare Plans.  Neither Awards made under this Plan nor shares of Stock or cash paid pursuant to such Awards may be included as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under any Participating Company’s retirement plans (both qualified and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall be taken into account in computing a Participant’s benefit.
17.8Beneficiary Designation.  Subject to local laws and procedures, each Participant may file with the Company, in a form and manner determined by the Company, a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any benefit under the Plan to which the Participant is entitled in the event of such Participant’s death before such Participant receives any or all of such benefit.  Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime.  If a married Participant designates a beneficiary other than the Participant’s spouse, the effectiveness of such designation may be subject to the consent of the Participant’s spouse.  If a Participant dies without an effective designation of a beneficiary who is living at the time of the Participant’s death, the Company will pay any remaining unpaid benefits to the Participant’s estate.
17.9Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
17.10No Constraint on Corporate Action.  Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to:  (a) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s or another Participating Company’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets; or (b) limit the right or power of the Company or another Participating Company to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.
17.11Unfunded Obligation.  Participants shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company.  Any amounts payable to Participants pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  No Participating Company shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations.  The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder.  Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Committee or any Participating Company and a Participant, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant or the Participant’s creditors in any assets of any Participating Company.  The Participants shall have no claim against any Participating Company for any changes in the value of any assets which may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.
17.12Choice of Law.  Except to the extent governed by applicable federal law, the validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law rules.

(1)Please refer to “Non-GAAP Measures” and Schedules 1, 2, 3 and 4 for the definitions and reconciliations of our Non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted EPS” and “Adjusted EBITDA.”

“Primoris started 2023 with solid results in the first quarter, surpassing our goals in revenue, gross profit and earnings per share, marking a significant improvement from the first quarter of 2022,” said Tom McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer of Primoris. “I want to recognize and congratulate our employees for their dedication to achieving these results through prioritizing safety, quality and productivity.”

“In the face of a challenging economic environment, we continue to see resilience across our key growth markets of renewables, power delivery and communications. We are also seeing steady contributions from other markets where we participate and are optimistic about further improvements in our pipeline businesses from the cyclical trough in 2022.”

“Our backlog remains at record levels due to our ability to win work and successfully execute on behalf of our clients. This includes recent awards for a carbon capture utilization and storage pipeline project and a utility-scale solar project in the Southwest,” he added. “While some uncertainty remains as to the economic conditions over the coming quarters, we are confident that we will be able to build on our first quarter to reach our full year 2023 objectives.”

First Quarter 2023 Results Overview

Revenue was $1,256.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $472.5 million, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to strong growth across our renewables, industrial and pipeline businesses, as well as contributions from the PLH and B Comm acquisitions. Gross profit was $99.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $43.2 million, or 76.6 percent, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue and margins. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 7.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 7.2 percent for the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of improved margins in the renewables business and positive margins in the pipeline services business.

This press release includes Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes these measures enable investors, analysts and management to evaluate Primoris’ performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. In addition, management believes these


measures are useful in comparing the Company’s operating results with those of its competitors. Please refer to “Non-GAAP Measures” and Schedules 1, 2 and 3 for the definitions and reconciliations of the Company’s Non-GAAP financial measures, including “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted EPS” and “Adjusted EBITDA”.

During the first quarter of 2023, net income was $1.3 million compared to a net loss of $1.7 million in the prior year. Adjusted Net Income was $9.9 million for the first quarter, compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2022. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.02 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to ($0.03) for the same period in 2022. Adjusted EPS was $0.18 for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $0.01 for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA was $52.8 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $22.6 million for the same period in 2022.

In the first quarter of 2023, we changed our reportable segments in connection with the realignment of our internal organization and management structure, and now we report in two segments: Utilities and Energy. Revenue and gross profit for the segments for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

Utilities Segment (“Utilities”): Revenue increased by $170.2 million, or 47.4 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the acquisitions of PLH and B Comm and increased activity in our legacy power delivery and communications markets. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $11.2 million, or 50.2 percent, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase is primarily attributable to the higher revenue and impact of improved rates on power delivery services to offset inflation pressures. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased slightly to 6.3 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 6.2 percent for the same period in 2022.

Energy Segment (“Energy”): Revenue increased by $302.3 million, or 71.0 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase year-over-year was primarily due to increased renewable energy activity, increased pipeline project work, increased industrial activity in the Gulf Coast and contributions from the PLH acquisition. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023, increased by $32.0 million, or 93.8 percent, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to higher revenue and margins. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 9.1 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 8.0 percent in the same period in 2022, primarily due to increased revenue on higher margin renewable energy projects in 2023 and higher costs on a pipeline project in the Mid-Atlantic from unfavorable weather conditions experienced in 2022.

Other Income Statement Information

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $78.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $22.6 million, or 40.7 percent, compared to 2022, primarily, due to the acquisitions of PLH and B Comm and increased costs to support our strong organic growth. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.2 percent in the first quarter of 2023, compared to 7.1 percent in the first quarter 2022 primarily due to improved operating leverage on increased revenue.

Interest expense, net for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $18.5 million compared to $2.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase of $15.6 million was due to higher average debt balances from the borrowings incurred related to the PLH acquisition, higher average interest rates, and a $0.5 million unrealized loss on our interest rate swaps in 2023 compared to a $2.9 million unrealized gain in 2022. Interest expense for the full year 2023 is expected to increase to approximately $73 to $77 million due to higher debt balances and higher interest rates.

The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, of 28.0 % differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes and nondeductible components of per diem expenses. We recorded income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, of $0.5 million compared to a tax benefit of $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $1.1 million increase in income tax expense is primarily driven by a $4.1 million increase in pretax income.

Outlook

The Company is maintaining its estimates for the year ending December 31, 2023. Net income is expected to be between $2.10 and $2.30 per fully diluted share. Adjusted EPS is estimated in the range of $2.50 to $2.70 for 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2023 is expected to range from $350 million to $370 million.

The Company is targeting SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue in the low six percent range for full year 2023. The Company’s targeted gross margins by segment are as follows: Utilities in the range of 9 to 11 percent and Energy in the range of 10 to 12 percent. The Company expects its effective tax rate for 2023 to be approximately 28 percent, but it may vary depending on the mix of states in which the Company operates.

Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to “Non-GAAP Measures” and Schedules below for the definitions and reconciliations. The guidance provided above constitutes forward-looking statements, which are based on current economic conditions and estimates, and the Company does not include other potential impacts, such as changes in accounting or unusual items.

At March 31, 2023, Fixed Backlog was $3.5 billion consistent with our backlog at December 31, 2022. MSA Backlog was $2.0 billion, up $0.1 billion compared to backlog on December 31, 2022. MSA Backlog represents estimated MSA revenue for the next four quarters. Total Backlog as of March 31, 2023 was $5.6 billion, which represented a new record backlog for the Company. The Company expects that during the next four quarters, the Company will recognize as revenue approximately 74 percent of the total backlog at March 31, 2023, comprised of backlog of approximately: 100 percent of the Utilities segment and 60 percent of the Energy segment.

Backlog, including estimated MSA revenue, should not be considered a comprehensive indicator of future revenue. Revenue from certain projects where scope, and therefore contract value, is not adequately defined, is not included in Fixed Backlog. At any time, any project may be cancelled at the convenience of the Company’s customers.

Balance Sheet and Capital Allocation

At March 31, 2023, the Company had $94.8 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. In the first quarter of 2023, capital expenditures were $13.8 million, including $4.4 million in construction equipment purchases. The Company estimates capital expenditures for the full year 2023 to total between $80 million and $100 million, which includes $40 million to $60 million for equipment. For the remaining nine months of 2023, capital expenditures are expected to total between $70 million and $90 million, which includes $40 million to $60 million for equipment.

The Company also announced that on May 3, 2023, its Board of Directors declared a $0.06 per share cash dividend to stockholders of record on June 30, 2023, payable on approximately July 14, 2023.

In November 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a $25.0 million share purchase program. Under the share purchase program, we can, depending on market conditions, share price and other factors, acquire shares of our common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In February 2022, our Board of Directors replenished the limit to $25.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not purchase any shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2023, we had $19.0 million remaining for purchase under the share purchase program. The share purchase plan expires on December 31, 2023.

Conference Call and Webcast

As previously announced, management will host a conference call and webcast on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. U.S. Central Time (10:00 a.m. U.S. Eastern Time).

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release contains certain financial measures that are not recognized under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Primoris uses earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS as important supplemental measures of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes these measures enable investors, analysts, and management to evaluate Primoris’ performance excluding the effects of certain items that management believes impact the comparability of operating results between reporting periods. In addition, management believes these measures are useful in comparing the Company’s operating results with those of its competitors. The non-GAAP measures presented in this press release are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Primoris’ method of calculating these measures may be different from methods used by other companies, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies that do not use the same methodology as Primoris. Please see the accompanying tables to this press release for reconciliations of the following non‐GAAP financial measures for Primoris’ current and historical results: EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS.

Non-GAAP Measures

Schedule 1

Primoris Services Corporation

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS

(In Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)

(Unaudited)

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS

Primoris defines Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) adjusted for certain items including, (i) non‐cash stock‐based compensation expense; (ii) transaction/integration and related costs; (iii) asset impairment charges; (iv) changes in fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap; (v) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; (vi) amortization of intangible assets; (vii) amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs; (viii) losses on extinguishment of debt; (ix) severance and restructuring changes; (x) selected (gains) charges that are unusual or non-recurring; and (xi) impact of changes in statutory tax rates. The Company defines Adjusted EPS as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Management believes these adjustments are helpful for comparing the Company’s operating performance with prior periods. Because Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS, as defined, exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and diluted earnings per share, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measures, net income and diluted earnings per share, and information reconciling the GAAP and non‐GAAP financial measures, are included in the table below.

Primoris Services Corporation

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

(In Thousands)

(Unaudited)

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Primoris defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain items including, (i) non‐cash stock‐based compensation expense; (ii) transaction/integration and related costs; (iii) asset impairment charges; (iv) severance and restructuring changes; (v) change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; and (vi) selected (gains) charges that are unusual or non-recurring. The Company believes the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA financial measures assist in providing a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying operational measures to manage its business, to evaluate its performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, and to establish operational goals. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non‐GAAP financial measures and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. These non‐GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, and information reconciling the GAAP and non‐GAAP financial measures are included in the table below.
