(1) Excludes the impact of the divested steel components business for both periods presented. Financial results for the steel components business are included in the Transportation Products segment as part of continuing operations to the date of sale, August 16, 2024.

(2) Non-GAAP financial measure. See reconciliation tables included in this release.

(3) Adjusted Diluted EPS for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 was impacted by increased depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense due to the fair value markup of long-lived assets from recent acquisitions, predominantly Stavola, and a higher tax rate than expected. On a combined basis, these items reduced Adjusted Diluted EPS for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 by $0.40 and $0.41, respectively.

Antonio Carrillo, President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, "2024 was a transformative year for Arcosa as we undertook strategic actions to enhance our growth businesses, reduce cyclicality, and drive margin expansion across the organization. Notably, the acquisition of aggregates-led Stavola, which we completed at the start of the fourth quarter, provided entry into the nation's largest MSA with increased exposure to lower volatility, infrastructure-driven end markets. Earlier in the year, we completed the acquisition of Ameron Pole Products which enhanced the growth profile of our Engineered Structures segment. We also divested certain non-core assets during the year to further optimize our portfolio, including the sale of our cyclical steel components business within the Transportation Products segment.
