Stand-by letters of credit, bank guarantees and bonds
In the ordinary course of business, we are required to commit to bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees that require payments to our customers for any non-performance. The outstanding face value of these instruments fluctuates with the value of our projects in process and in our backlog. In addition, we issue financial stand-by letters of credit primarily to secure our performance to third parties under self-insurance programs.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the outstanding value of bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees totaled $107.2 million and $124.3 million, respectively.
