Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1. Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Arcosa,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions with leading positions in construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets in North America. Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2018 as an independent, publicly-traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited and have been prepared from the books and records of Arcosa, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and the results of operations, comprehensive income/loss, and cash flows have been made in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Because of seasonal and other factors, the financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 may not be indicative of Arcosa's expected business, financial condition, and results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2024.
These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Stockholders' Equity
In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board") authorized a new $50.0 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to replace a program of the same amount that expired on December 31, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had a remaining authorization of $36.2 million under the program.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is measured based on the allocation of the transaction price in a contract to satisfied performance obligations. The transaction price does not include any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue, separated by reportable segments. Payments for our products and services are generally due within normal commercial terms. For a further discussion regarding the Company’s reportable segments, see Note 4 Segment Information.
Construction Products
The Construction Products segment recognizes substantially all revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Engineered Structures
Within the Engineered Structures segment, revenue is recognized for wind towers and certain utility structures over time as the products are manufactured using an input approach based on the costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs of production. We recognize revenue over time for these products as they are highly customized to the needs of an individual customer resulting in no alternative use to the Company if not purchased by the customer after the contract is executed. In addition, we have the right to bill the customer for our work performed to date plus at least a reasonable profit margin for work performed. As of March 31, 2024, we had a contract asset of $56.7 million related to these contracts, compared to $66.8 million as of December 31, 2023, which is included in receivables, net of allowance, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in the contract asset is attributed to timing of deliveries of finished structures to customers during the period. For all other products, revenue is recognized when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Transportation Products
The Transportation Products segment recognizes revenue when the customer has accepted the product and legal title of the product has passed to the customer.
Unsatisfied Performance Obligations
The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized in future periods related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of March 31, 2024 and the percentage of the outstanding performance obligations as of March 31, 2024 expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2024 | | |
| Total Amount | | Percent expected to be delivered in 2024 | | |
| (in millions) | | | | |
Engineered Structures: | | | | | |
Utility, wind, and related structures | $ | 1,366.7 | | | 40 | % | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
Transportation Products: | | | | | |
Inland barges | $ | 294.4 | | | 73 | % | | |
Of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations for utility, wind, and related structures, 29% are expected to be delivered during 2025 with the remainder expected to be delivered through 2028. All of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations for inland barges are expected to be delivered during 2025.
Income Taxes
The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.
The Company regularly evaluates the likelihood of realization of tax benefits derived from positions it has taken in various federal and state filings after consideration of all relevant facts, circumstances, and available information. For those tax positions that are deemed more likely than not to be sustained, the Company recognizes the benefit it believes is cumulatively greater than 50% likely to be realized. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of recorded reserves, the effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially impacted.
Financial Instruments
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments to be cash and cash equivalents if purchased with a maturity of three months or less. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and receivables. The Company places its cash investments in bank deposits and highly-rated money market funds, and its investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. We seek to limit concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables with control procedures that monitor the credit worthiness of customers, together with the large number of customers in the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. As receivables are generally unsecured, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected credit losses. Receivable balances determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. To accelerate the conversion to cash, the Company may sell a portion of its trade receivables to third parties. The Company has no recourse to these receivables once they are sold but may have continuing involvement related to servicing and collection activities. The impact of these transactions in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was not significant. The carrying values of cash, receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values.
Derivative Instruments
The Company may, from time to time, use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, commodity prices, or changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For derivative instruments designated as hedges, the Company formally documents the relationship between the derivative instrument and the hedged item, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for the use of the derivative instrument. This documentation includes linking the derivative to specific assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, commitments, or forecasted transactions. At the time a derivative instrument is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, the Company assesses whether the derivative instrument is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. Any change in the fair value of the hedged instrument is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) as a separate component of stockholders' equity and reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. When derivative instruments are in place, the Company monitors its positions and the credit ratings of its counterparties to mitigate the risk of loss due to counterparties' non-performance.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Company will adopt additional disclosure requirements within its annual reporting for the year ending December 31, 2024 and its interim reporting for the quarter ending March 31, 2025.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not adopted as of March 31, 2024
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring 1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and 2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The standard also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will become effective for public companies during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Although ASU 2023-09 only modifies the Company's required income tax disclosures, the Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 2. Acquisitions and Divestitures
2024 Acquisitions
In April 2024, we completed the acquisition of Ameron Pole Products LLC ("Ameron"), a leading manufacturer of highly engineered, premium concrete and steel poles for a broad range of infrastructure applications, including lighting, traffic, electric distribution, and small-cell telecom, for a total purchase price of $180.0 million. With operations in Alabama, California, and Oklahoma, Ameron will be included in our Engineered Structures segment. The acquisition was funded with $160.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand.
2023 Acquisitions
On December 20, 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Lake Point Holdings, LLC and Lake Point Restoration LLC, (collectively "Lake Point") a Florida based natural aggregates business in our Construction Products segment, for a total purchase price of $65.0 million. The acquisition was funded with $60.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. The acquisition was recorded as a business combination based on a valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value using unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities ("Level 3" inputs). The preliminary valuation resulted in the recognition of, among others, $13.2 million of property, plant, and equipment, $19.1 million of mineral reserves, $11.5 million of permits, and $15.4 million of goodwill in our Construction Products segment. We expect to complete our purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably possible, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material, particularly with respect to our preliminary estimates of mineral reserves, permits, and property, plant, and equipment.
In October 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Phoenix, Arizona based recycled aggregates business and the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Florida based recycled aggregates business in our Construction Products segment. The purchase price of these acquisitions were not significant.
In September 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Houston, Texas based stabilized sand producer in our Construction Products segment. The purchase price of the acquisition was not significant.
In March 2023, we completed the stock acquisition of a Houston, Texas based shoring, trench, and excavation products business in our Construction Products segment. In February 2023, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of a Phoenix, Arizona based recycled aggregates business in our Construction Products segment. The purchase prices of these acquisitions were not significant.
Divestitures
There were no divestitures completed during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to establish a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values are listed below:
Level 1 – This level is defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents are instruments of the U.S. Treasury or highly-rated money market mutual funds.
Level 2 – This level is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Interest rate hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty. See Note 7 Debt.
Level 3 – This level is defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Contingent consideration relates to estimated future payments owed to the sellers of businesses previously acquired. We estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration using a discounted cash flow model. The fair value is sensitive to changes in the forecast of sales and changes in discount rates and is reassessed quarterly based on assumptions used in our latest projections.

Total debt | $ | 607.2 | | | $ | 568.7 | |
Revolving Credit Facility
On August 23, 2023, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to increase our revolving credit facility from $500.0 million to $600.0 million, extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from January 2, 2025 to August 23, 2028, and refinance and repay in full the remaining balance of the term loan then outstanding under our prior credit facility.
As of March 31, 2024, we had $200.0 million of outstanding loans borrowed under the revolving credit facility, and there were approximately $22.0 million of letters of credit issued, leaving $378.0 million available for borrowing. Of the outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2024, $21.4 million are expected to expire in 2024, with the remainder in 2025. The majority of our letters of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year.
The interest rates under the revolving credit facility are variable based on the daily simple or term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus a 10-basis point credit spread adjustment, or an alternate base rate, in each case plus a margin for borrowing. A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving facility. The margin for borrowing and commitment fee rate are determined based on the Company’s leverage as measured by a consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio. The margin for borrowing based on SOFR ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% and was set at 1.50% as of March 31, 2024. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.20% to 0.35% and was set at 0.25% at March 31, 2024.
The Company's revolving credit facility requires the maintenance of certain ratios related to leverage and interest coverage. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
The carrying value of borrowings under our revolving credit approximates fair value because the interest rate adjusts to the market interest rate (Level 3 input). See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $2.3 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the revolving credit facility, which are included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In April 2024, we borrowed an additional $160.0 million under our revolving credit facility to fund, in part, the acquisition of Ameron.
Senior Notes
On April 6, 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior notes (the “Notes”) that mature in April 2029. Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually in April and October. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under our revolving credit facility. The terms of the indenture governing the Notes, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and each of its subsidiaries to create liens on assets, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets and the assets of its subsidiaries. The terms of the indenture also limit the ability of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur certain types of debt.
The Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at redemption prices set forth in the indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the indenture) occurs, the Company must offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
The estimated fair value of the Notes as of March 31, 2024 was $369.2 million based on a quoted market price in a market with little activity (Level 2 input).
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company paid $6.6 million of debt issuance costs.
The remaining principal payments under existing debt agreements as of March 31, 2024 are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Interest rate hedges
In December 2018, the Company entered into a $100.0 million interest rate swap instrument, effective as of January 2, 2019, to reduce the effect of changes in the variable interest rates associated with the first $100.0 million of borrowings under the Company's committed credit facility. In conjunction with the replacement of LIBOR with SOFR as a benchmark for borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, on July 1, 2023 the swap instrument transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR. The instrument effectively fixed the SOFR component of borrowings under the revolving credit facility at a monthly rate of 2.71% until such instrument's termination. The interest rate swap instrument expired in October 2023.
Note 8. Leases
We have various leases primarily for office space and certain equipment. At inception, we determine if an arrangement contains a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. For leases that contain options to purchase, terminate, or extend, such options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Some of our lease arrangements contain lease components and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as we have elected the practical expedient to group lease and non-lease components for all leases.
As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Future minimum lease payments for operating and finance lease obligations as of March 31, 2024 consisted of the following:

Note 10. Income Taxes
For interim income tax reporting, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year-to-date ordinary income (loss). Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year to date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. We have open tax years from 2014 to 2023 with various significant tax jurisdictions.
Our effective tax rates of 17.1% and 20.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% due to Advanced Manufacturing Production ("AMP") tax credits, tax effects of foreign currency translations, compensation-related items, state income taxes, prior year true-ups, and statutory depletion deductions.
Note 11. Employee Retirement Plans

The Company contributes to a multiemployer defined benefit plan under the terms of a collective-bargaining agreement that covers certain union-represented employees at one of the facilities of Meyer Utility Structures, a subsidiary of Arcosa. The Company contributed $0.4 million to the multiemployer plan for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Total contributions to the multiemployer plan for 2024 are expected to be approximately $1.7 million.

Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation totaled approximately $6.7 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Note 14. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income remaining after allocation to participating unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be antidilutive, the calculation of diluted earnings per common share includes the weighted average net impact of nonparticipating unvested restricted shares. Total weighted average restricted shares were 1.2 million and 1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share follows.

Note 15. Contingencies
The Company is involved in claims and lawsuits incidental to our business arising from various matters including commercial disputes, alleged product defect and/or warranty claims, intellectual property matters, personal injury claims, environmental issues, employment and/or workplace-related matters, and various governmental regulations. At March 31, 2024, the reasonably possible loss for such matters, taking into consideration our rights in indemnity and recourse to third parties is approximately $1.2 million.
The Company evaluates its exposure to such claims and suits periodically and establishes accruals for these contingencies when probable losses can be reasonably estimated. At March 31, 2024, the Company accrued $1.5 million in liabilities for these contingencies, which are recorded in accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company believes any additional liability from such claims and suits would not be material to its financial position or results of operations.
Arcosa is subject to certain remedial orders and federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment. Included in the balance above, the Company has reserved $0.3 million of liabilities, as of March 31, 2024, for environmental liabilities related to which it has also recorded a $0.3 million indemnification asset from third parties, to cover our probable and estimable liabilities with respect to the investigations, assessments, and remedial responses to such environmental matters. The Company has concluded that these liabilities are subject to and will be covered by indemnification obligations of third parties, however there can be no assurance of collection.
Estimates of liability arising from future proceedings, assessments, or remediation are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings, including those related to the environment or, if we are found to be responsible or liable in any such litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to the Company.

Company Overview
Arcosa, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a provider of infrastructure-related products and solutions with leading positions in construction, engineered structures, and transportation markets in North America. Arcosa is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated in 2018 as an independent, publicly-traded company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Market Outlook
•Within our Construction Products segment, market demand remains healthy overall when seasonal weather conditions have been normal, supported by increased infrastructure spending and private non-residential activity. The outlook for single-family residential housing continues to be impacted by higher interest rates and home affordability, which has negatively impacted volumes. We have been successful in managing inflationary cost pressures through proactive price increases.
•Within our Engineered Structures segment, our backlog as of March 31, 2024 provides good production visibility for the remainder of 2024. Our customers remain committed to taking delivery of these orders. In utility structures, order and inquiry activity continues to be healthy, as customers remain focused on grid hardening and reliability initiatives. The passage of the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") on August 16, 2022, which included a long-term extension of the Production Tax Credit (“PTC”) for new wind farm projects and introduced new Advanced Manufacturing Production (“AMP”) tax credits for companies that domestically manufacture and sell clean energy equipment in the U.S., is a significant catalyst for our wind towers business. As demonstrated by more than $1.1 billion of new orders for delivery through 2028, which we have received since the passage of the IRA, our wind towers business is at the beginning stages of a market recovery. A large portion of these orders will support wind energy expansion projects in the Southwest. As a result, we are opening a new plant in New Mexico and expect to start delivering towers from this facility in the second quarter of 2024.
•Within our Transportation Products segment, our backlog for inland barges as of March 31, 2024 was $294.4 million, up 16% compared to December 31, 2023, and extends into 2025. Our customers remain committed to taking delivery of these orders. While still recovering from cyclical lows, our backlog at the end of the first quarter is near its highest level since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic when order levels fell sharply and have remained low due to persistently high steel prices. Over this time, customer inquiries have remained healthy, particularly for dry barges, as the fleet continues to age, new builds have not kept pace with scrapping, and utilization rates are high. We have been successful in filling orders when we can strategically source steel. As a result, we received orders of $120 million in the first quarter for both hopper and tank barges. Demand for steel components has stabilized as the near-term outlook for the new railcar market indicates replacement-level demand.
Executive Overview
Recent Developments
In April 2024, we completed the acquisition of Ameron Pole Products, LLC ("Ameron"), a leading manufacturer of highly engineered, premium concrete and steel poles for a broad range of infrastructure applications, including lighting, traffic, electric distribution, and small-cell telecom, for a total purchase price of $180.0 million. With operations in Alabama, California, and Oklahoma, Ameron will be included in our Engineered Structures segment. The acquisition was funded with $160.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand.
Financial Operations and Highlights
•Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased 9.0% to $598.6 million due to higher revenues in all three segments compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
•Operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $53.4 million, a decrease of $21.7 million year-over-year. Excluding the $21.8 million gain on the sale of depleted land in the prior period, operating profit was roughly flat as higher operating profit in Construction Products and Transportation Products was offset by lower operating profit in Engineered Structures.
•Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 10.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due to increased headcount, additional costs from recently acquired businesses, and higher acquisition and divestiture-related expenses. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased slightly to 11.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 11.4% for the same period in 2023.
•The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 17.1%, compared to 20.3% for the same period in 2023. See Note 10 Income Taxes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
•Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $39.2 million, compared to $55.7 million for the same period in 2023.
Our Engineered Structures and Transportation Products segments operate in cyclical industries. Additionally, results in our Construction Products segment are affected by weather and seasonal fluctuations with the second and third quarters historically being the quarters with the highest revenues.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes results in effective tax rates that differ from the statutory rates. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 17.1% compared to 20.3% for the same period in 2023. The decrease in the tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is primarily due to AMP tax credits, excess tax benefits related to equity compensation, and reduced state income taxes, partially offset by increased foreign taxes.
Our effective tax rate differs from the federal tax rate of 21.0% due to AMP tax credits, tax effects of foreign currency translations, compensation-related items, state income taxes, prior year true-ups, and statutory depletion deductions. See Note 10 Income Taxes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Arcosa’s primary liquidity requirement consists of funding our business operations, including capital expenditures, working capital investment, and disciplined acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity include cash flow from operations, our existing cash balance, availability under the revolving credit facility, and, as necessary, the issuance of additional long-term debt or equity. To the extent we have available liquidity, we may also consider undertaking new capital investment projects, executing additional strategic acquisitions, returning capital to stockholders, or funding other general corporate purposes.

Other Investing and Financing Activities
Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Notes
On August 23, 2023, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to increase the revolving credit facility from $500.0 million to $600.0 million, extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility from January 2, 2025 to August 23, 2028, and refinance and repay in full the remaining balance of the term loan then outstanding under the prior credit facility.
As of March 31, 2024, we had $200.0 million of outstanding loans borrowed under the revolving credit facility, and there were approximately $22.0 million of letters of credit issued, leaving $378.0 million available for borrowing. Of the outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2024, $21.4 million are expected to expire in 2024, with the remainder in 2025. The majority of our letters of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs and generally renew by their terms each year.
In April 2024, we borrowed an additional $160.0 million under our revolving credit facility to fund, in part, the acquisition of Ameron.
The interest rates under the revolving credit facility are variable based on the daily simple or term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus a 10-basis point credit spread adjustment, or an alternate base rate, in each case plus a margin for borrowing. A commitment fee accrues on the average daily unused portion of the revolving facility. The margin for borrowing and commitment fee rate are determined based on Arcosa’s leverage as measured by a consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA ratio. The margin for borrowing based on SOFR ranges from 1.25% to 2.00% and was set at 1.50% as of March 31, 2024. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.20% to 0.35% and was set at 0.25% as of March 31, 2024.
The Company's revolving credit facility requires the maintenance of certain ratios related to leverage and interest coverage. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
On April 6, 2021, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior notes (the “Notes”) that mature in April 2029. Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually in April and October. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under our revolving credit facility.
We believe, based on our current business plans, that our existing cash, available liquidity, and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund necessary capital expenditures and operating cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
Dividends and Repurchase Program
In March 2024, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share that was paid on April 30, 2024.
In December 2022, the Board authorized a new $50.0 million share repurchase program effective January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 to replace a program of the same amount that expired on December 31, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had a remaining authorization of $36.2 million under the program. See Note 1 Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Derivative Instruments
In December 2018, the Company entered into a $100.0 million interest rate swap instrument, effective as of January 2, 2019, to reduce the effect of changes in the variable interest rates associated with the first $100.0 million of borrowings under the Company's committed credit facility. In conjunction with the replacement of LIBOR with SOFR as a benchmark for borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, on July 1, 2023 the swap instrument transitioned from LIBOR to SOFR. The instrument effectively fixed the SOFR component of borrowings under the revolving credit facility at a monthly rate of 2.71% until such instrument's termination. The interest rate swap instrument expired in October 2023. See Note 7 Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
