THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. (NASDAQ:STRL) ("Sterling" or "the Company") today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized a new stock repurchase program. Under the new program, which becomes effective today, Sterling may repurchase up to $400 million of its outstanding common stock over the next 24 months. The new program replaces the Company's previous repurchase program, which was set to expire on December 5, 2025. There was $81 million of remaining capacity under the previous program at the effective time of replacement.
The timing and amount of any share repurchases will be at the discretion of management and will depend on a variety of factors. Share repurchases under the program may be made from time to time through transactions in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with applicable laws. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any shares and the Company's Board of Directors may modify, increase, suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time.

"With our strong balance sheet and cash flow, we are well-positioned to pursue a balanced capital allocation strategy that supports our investments in organic growth and strategic acquisitions, while returning capital to shareholders.
