Construction Joint Ventures

3 Months Ended

Guarantees and Product Warranties [Abstract]

We participate in various construction joint ventures. We have determined that certain of these joint ventures are consolidated because they are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and we are the primary beneficiary. We continually evaluate whether there are changes in the status of the VIEs or changes to the primary beneficiary designation of the VIE. Based on our assessments during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we determined no change was required for existing joint ventures.

Due to the joint and several nature of the performance obligations under the related owner contracts, if any of our partners fail to perform, we and the remaining partners, if any, would be responsible for performance of the outstanding work (i.e., we provide a performance guarantee). We are not able to estimate amounts that may be required beyond the current remaining forecasted cost of the work to be performed. These forecasted costs could be offset by billings to the customer or by proceeds from our partners’ corporate and/or other guarantees. See Note 13 for disclosure of the performance guarantee amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Consolidated Construction Joint Ventures (“CCJVs”)

As of March 31, 2024, we were engaged in ten active CCJV projects. Our proportionate share of the equity in these joint ventures was between 50.0% and 70.0%. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, total revenue from CCJVs was $71.6 million and $61.3 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, CCJVs provided $5.8 million and used $24.8 million of operating cash flows, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, our share of revenue remaining to be recognized on these CCJVs was $311.3 million and ranged from $1.3 million to $119.1 million by project.

Unconsolidated Construction Joint Ventures

As of March 31, 2024, we were engaged in five active unconsolidated construction joint venture projects. Our proportionate share of the equity in these unconsolidated construction joint ventures ranged from 30.0% to 50.0%. As of March 31, 2024, our share of the revenue remaining to be recognized on these unconsolidated construction joint ventures was $39.9 million and ranged from $1.2 million to $29.8 million by project.
