Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) include the accounts of the Company and of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted based on the Company’s proportionate share of earnings, losses, and distributions from each entity.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates include the estimation of total contract costs used for net revenues and cost recognition from construction contracts, fair value estimates included in the accounting for acquisitions, valuation of long-lived assets and acquisition-related contingent consideration, self-insurance liabilities, income taxes, and the estimated effects of litigation and other contingencies.
Foreign currency and currency translation
The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at year-end, with resulting translation gains or losses included within other comprehensive income or loss. Net revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average monthly rates of exchange in effect during the year. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses, including hedging impacts, are classified in investment (expense) income and other, net, in the consolidated statements of operations and were a (loss) gain of ($2), $1 and $(2) for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. These net foreign currency transaction gains and losses include derivative instruments designed to reduce foreign currency exchange rate risks. Refer to Note 10 – "Derivatives" for further information. Translation gains or losses, which are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets, result from translation of the assets and liabilities of APi Group’s foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars. Foreign currency translation (losses) gains totaled approximately ($107), $61, and $(164) for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Nearly all of the Company’s foreign operations use their local currency as their functional currency. Currency gains or losses resulting from transactions executed in currencies other than the functional currency are included in investment expense (income) and other, net, in the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Restricted cash is reported as other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Restricted cash reflects collateral against certain bank guarantees.
Fair value of financial instruments
The financial instruments of the Company include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, contingent consideration and compensation liabilities, and debt obligations.
Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market as of the measurement date. ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to and is composed of the following levels:
Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contract assets, other receivables, accounts payable, contingent compensation liabilities, accrued liabilities, and contract liabilities approximate their fair values because of their short maturity. The fair value of the Company’s revolving line of credit facilities and long-term debt are based on current lending rates for similar borrowings, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity, and considering the collateral. The carrying values of revolving line of credit facilities approximate their fair values because the variable interest rates of these instruments are generally reset monthly.
The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated by discounting future cash flows at currently available rates for borrowing arrangements with similar terms and conditions, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments are determined using standard pricing models and market-based assumptions for all significant inputs, such as yield curves and quoted spot and forward exchange rates. The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration obligations is determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow method. This fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of wholesale insulation products, contracting materials and supplies. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment, including additions, replacements, and improvements is stated at cost or fair value for assets acquired in a business combination, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred unless such expenditures extend the life of the asset or increase its capacity or efficiency. Depreciation expense is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Upon sale or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the consolidated balance sheets and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Leases
The Company’s lease portfolio mainly consists of facilities, equipment, and vehicles. Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term whereas lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term (or at fair values in the case of those leases assumed in an acquisition). As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses incremental borrowing rates that are based on its own external unsecured borrowing rates and are risk-adjusted to approximate secured borrowing
rates over similar terms. These rates are assessed on a quarterly basis for measurement of new lease obligations. The operating lease assets are calculated based on the value of the lease liability plus prepaid rental payments less lease incentives that the Company expects to receive. Leases with an initial term of less than one year are not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Many leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term for several years. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased assets. The Company's lease terms include these renewal or purchase options when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. The Company’s lease agreements contain lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component for all asset classes except for certain asset classes within its information technology arrangements. Operating lease right-of-use assets are reported as separate lines in the consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are generally those leases that allow the Company to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. For finance leases, the Company recognizes more expense in the initial years of total lease expense recognition due to the accretion of the lease liability and the straight-line amortization of the leased asset. Assets acquired under finance leases are recorded in property and equipment, net.
Goodwill impairment
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. The Company has recorded goodwill in connection with its historical acquisitions of businesses. Upon acquisition, these businesses were either combined into one of the existing components or managed on a stand-alone basis as an individual component.
The components are aligned to one of the Company’s two reportable segments, Safety Services or Specialty Services. Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level, which represents the operating segment level or one level below the operating segment level for which discrete financial information is available.
Management identifies its reporting units by assessing whether components have discrete financial information available, engage in business activities, and have a segment manager regularly review the component’s operating results. If two or more components are deemed economically similar, those components are aggregated into one reporting unit when performing the annual goodwill impairment test.
Goodwill is not amortized but instead is annually tested for impairment on October 1 each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. Qualitative indicators that may trigger the need for annual or interim quantitative impairment testing include, among other things, deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, declining financial performance, deterioration in the operational environment, or an expectation of selling or disposing of a portion of a reporting unit. Additionally, a significant change in business climate, a loss of a significant customer, increased competition, a sustained decrease in share price, or a decrease in estimated fair value below book value may trigger the need for interim impairment testing of goodwill associated with one or more reporting units.
Accounting standards for testing goodwill for impairment require the application of either a qualitative or quantitative assessment to analyze whether or not goodwill has been impaired. The Company performs the qualitative analysis by evaluating financial performance, macroeconomic conditions, and industry trends. Under the quantitative assessment, the Company evaluates each reporting unit for impairment comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded as a reduction to goodwill with a corresponding change to earnings in the period the goodwill is determined to be impaired. Any goodwill impairment is limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
For the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning ("HVAC"), North American Life Safety, Fabrication, and Specialty Contracting reporting units, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to analyze whether or not goodwill has been impaired.
For the quantitative analysis performed on the Infrastructure/Utility and International Life Safety reporting units, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit using a combination of the income approach (discounted cash flow method) and market approach (guideline transaction method and guideline public company method). Management weights each of the methods applied to determine the fair value of the reporting unit.
Under the discounted cash flow method, the Company determines fair value based on the estimated future cash flows for the reporting unit, discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted industry weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk for the reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. Cash flow projections are derived from budgeted amounts (typically a one-year model) and subsequent period cash flows are developed for each reporting unit using growth rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur from a market participant’s standpoint. All cash flow projections by reporting unit are evaluated by management. A terminal value is derived by capitalizing free cash flow into perpetuity. The capitalization rate is derived from the weighted-average cost of capital and the estimated long-term growth rate for each reporting unit.
Under the guideline transaction and guideline public company methods, the Company determines the estimated fair value of its reporting unit by applying transaction multiples and public company multiples, respectively, to the reporting unit’s applicable earnings measure. The transaction multiples are based on observed purchase transactions for similar businesses adjusted for size, diversification and risk. The public company multiples are based on peer group multiples adjusted for size, growth, risk and margin.
See Note 8 – “Goodwill and Intangibles” for additional detail on goodwill and other intangible assets.
Impairment of long-lived assets excluding goodwill
The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived asset groups, including property and equipment and other identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization, when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Qualitative indicators that may trigger the need for impairment testing include an expectation of selling or disposing of a business unit. If facts and circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company will compare the carrying value of the asset or asset group with the undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset or asset group. If the carrying value of the asset or asset group is greater than its undiscounted cash flows, the resulting impairment will be determined as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value, where fair value is determined for the carrying amount of the specific asset groups based on discounted future cash flows or appraisal of the asset groups.
Investments
The Company holds investments in joint ventures, the majority of which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company does not exercise control over the joint ventures. The Company exercises control over one joint venture that is consolidated into the Company's financial statements. The share of earnings from the consolidated joint venture was $1 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s share of earnings from the non-consolidated joint ventures was $8, $7, and $3, during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The earnings are recorded within investment expense (income) and other, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The investment balances were $4 and $4 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are recorded within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Pension and post-retirement obligations
The Company sponsors both funded and unfunded foreign defined benefit pension plans that cover a portion of the Company's employees. The Company accounts for its benefit plans in accordance with ASC 715, Compensation - Retirement Benefits, which requires balance sheet recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The amounts associated with these benefits are determined by actuaries and dependent on various actuarial assumptions including discount rates, expected return on plan assets, compensation increases, mortality and health care cost trends. Under this guidance, actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits, and any remaining transition assets or obligations that have not been recognized under previous accounting standards must be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions at each measurement date and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends, if appropriate.
During 2023, an annuity purchase transaction, commonly known as a “buy-in,” was executed for the two pension plans in the United Kingdom. Under the terms of the insurance contracts, which were issued by a third-party insurance company with no affiliation to the Company, all pension obligations will be funded by the insurer’s annuity payments, but the plans still retain full legal responsibility to pay the benefits to plan participants using the insurance payments. The Company's
accounting policies related to pension and post-retirement obligations and the buy-in transaction are disclosed in Note 16 – "Pension."
In December 2024, the Company entered into a non-binding agreement in principle with the Trustees of the two pension plans in the United Kingdom to proceed with wind-up of the plans contingent on certain conditions. If all conditions are met, the Company expects to execute the final wind-up in late 2026.
Definite-lived intangibles
Intangibles consist of trade names and trademarks, customer relationships, and backlog intangibles. The intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from two to fifteen years for trade names and trademarks and customer relationships, and a period of six to thirty-six months for backlog.
Insurance liabilities
Other accrued and other noncurrent liabilities include management’s best estimates of amounts expected to be incurred for health insurance claims, workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability losses. A portion of this risk is retained on a self-insured basis through Sprocket, the Company's wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary. The estimates are based on claim reports provided by the insurance carrier, management’s best estimates, and the maximum premium for a policy period. The amounts the Company will ultimately incur could differ in the near-term from the estimated amounts accrued. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had accrued $112 and $98, respectively, relating to workers’ compensation, general and automobile claims, with $87 and $74, respectively, included in other noncurrent liabilities. The Company recorded a receivable from the insurance carriers of $11 and $12 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to offset the liabilities due above the Company’s deductible, which, under contract, are payable by the insurance carrier. The Company has outstanding letters of credit as collateral totaling approximately $147 and $137 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company had $7 and $6 accrued within accrued salaries and wages relating to outstanding health insurance claims at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Share-based compensation
The Company recognizes share-based compensation over the requisite service period of the awards (usually the vesting period) based on the grant date fair value of awards. An offsetting increase to shareholders’ equity is recorded equal to the amount of the compensation expense charge. For restricted stock grants with performance-based milestones, the expense is valued based on the closing market share price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and recorded over the service period after the achievement of the milestone is probable or the performance condition is achieved. For restricted stock grants with market-based performance milestones, the grant-date fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. Forfeitures are estimated and recorded using historical forfeiture rates.
The Company has an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) under which shares of the Company’s common stock are available for purchase by eligible participants. The plan allows participants to purchase APi Group common stock at 85% of its fair market value at the lower of (i) the date of commencement of the offering period or (ii) the last day of the exercise period, as defined in the plan documents. The fair value of purchases under the Company’s ESPP is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The determination of fair value of stock-based awards using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions pertaining to several variables, including expected stock price volatility, the expected term of the award and the risk-free rate of interest. In the option-pricing model for the Company’s ESPP, expected stock price volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of the award is based on historical and expected exercise patterns and the risk-free rate of interest is based on U.S. Treasury yields.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company has determined that its Series A Preferred Stock and, prior to its extinguishment, Series B Preferred Stock were participating securities as the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock participated in dividends with common stock according to a predetermined formula. Accordingly, the Company used the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share for common stock according to participation rights of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. Under this method, net income applicable to holders of common stock is first reduced by the amount of dividends declared on Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock in the current period with remaining
undistributed earnings allocated on a pro rata basis to the holders of common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and Series B Preferred Stock to the extent that each class may share income for the period; whereas undistributed net loss is allocated to common stock because holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are not contractually obligated to share the loss.
Revenue recognition and contract costs
Refer to Note 7 – “Net Revenues,” for further discussion on the Company’s revenue recognition policies.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits and delinquent payments in income tax expense.

In August 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-05, Business Combinations— Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which requires that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. As a result, a newly formed joint venture would initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2024 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, which incorporates certain SEC disclosure requirements into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This update will improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics and align the requirements in the FASB codification with the SEC’s regulations. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2024 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU expands segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU as of December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 22 – "Segment Information" for details.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires the Company to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules on the enhancement and standardization of climate-related disclosures, which requires disclosure of material climate-related risks, material Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, and other
matters. As it pertains to the financial statements, subject to certain materiality thresholds, the final rules require the financial statement footnotes to include certain disclosures regarding the amounts of expenses (or capitalized costs) incurred that relate to severe weather events and other natural conditions, as well as other disclosures regarding the material impact on financial estimates and assumptions of severe weather events and other natural conditions or disclosed targets or transition plans, and amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits. The disclosures will be required at the earliest in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, subject to legal challenges and the SEC's voluntary stay of the disclosure requirements. The Company will continue to assess the impact of the new rule on its consolidated financial statements while the stay is in place.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The ASU also requires disclosure of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted.

Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]  
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Company regularly evaluates potential acquisitions that strategically fit with the Company’s existing portfolio or expand the Company’s portfolio into a new and attractive business area. Acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. As such, the Company makes a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In the months after closing, as the Company obtains additional information about the acquired assets and liabilities and learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Purchase price is allocated to acquired assets and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values, with limited exceptions as permitted pursuant to GAAP, as determined based on estimates and assumptions deemed reasonable by the Company. The Company engages third-party valuation specialists to assist with preparation of critical assumptions and calculations of the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets in connection with significant acquisitions. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired businesses, the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses bring to existing operations, and the opportunities in new markets expected to be achieved from the expanded platform.
Elevated acquisition
On June 3, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Elevated Facility Services Group ("Elevated"). Elevated is a premier provider of contractually based services for all major brands of elevator and escalator equipment. Elevated is headquartered in Florida and serves customers in over 18 states. The results of the Elevated business are reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of acquisition within the Company's Safety Services segment.
The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the Elevated acquisition:

The final allocations of the purchase prices did not differ materially from preliminary estimates with the exception of measurement period adjustments, primarily related to accounts receivable, intangible assets, goodwill, and other accrued liabilities, recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Accrued consideration
The Company’s acquisition purchase agreements typically include deferred payment provisions, often to sellers who become employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. The provisions are made up of three general types of arrangements, contingent compensation and contingent consideration (both of which are contingent on the future performance of the acquired entity) and deferred payments related to indemnities. Contingent compensation arrangements are typically contingent on the former owner’s future employment with the Company, and the related amounts are recognized over the required employment period, which is typically one to four years. Contingent consideration arrangements are not contingent on employment and are included as part of purchase consideration at the time of the initial acquisition and are paid over a one- to four-year period. The liability for deferred payments is recognized at the date of acquisition based on the Company’s best estimate and is typically payable over a one- to three-year period. Deferred payments are not contingent on any future performance or employment obligations and can be offset for working capital true-ups, and representations and warranty items.
The total contingent compensation arrangement liability was $0 and $9 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The maximum payout of these arrangements upon completion of the future performance periods was $2 and $15, inclusive of the $0 and $9, accrued as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The contingent compensation liability is included in contingent consideration and compensation liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. The Company primarily determines the contingent compensation liability based on forecasted cumulative earnings compared to the cumulative earnings target set forth in the arrangement. Compensation expense associated with these arrangements is recognized ratably over the required employment period.
The contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value each reporting period and changes in estimates of fair value are recognized in earnings. For additional considerations regarding the fair value of the Company's contingent consideration liabilities, see Note 9 – "Fair Value of Financial Instruments."
The total liability for deferred payments was $28 and $17 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is included in contingent consideration and compensation liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.

During 2022, the Company announced its multi-year Chubb restructuring program designed to drive efficiencies and synergies and optimize operating margin. The Chubb restructuring program includes expenses related to workforce reductions, lease termination costs, and other facility rationalization costs through fiscal year 2025.
During 2024, the Company incurred pre-tax restructuring costs within the Safety Services segment of $12 in connection with the Chubb restructuring program. Since the Chubb Acquisition, the Company has incurred aggregate restructuring costs of $79. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $15 in restructuring liabilities recorded in other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets for this plan. In addition, the Company has incurred $23 of related costs which include lease impairment charges, asset write-downs, and consulting fees.
In total, the Company estimates that it will recognize approximately $125 of restructuring and other costs related to the Chubb restructuring program by the end of fiscal year 2025.
For the restructuring program, employee-related costs consist of termination benefits provided to employees who have been involuntarily terminated and voluntary early retirement benefits. Program related costs include costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring program such as consulting fees and facility relocation costs.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
NET REVENUES NET REVENUES
Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when or as control of promised goods and services is transferred to customers, and the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services transferred. Net revenues are primarily recognized by the Company over time utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress. Net revenues recognized at a point in time primarily relate to distribution contracts and short-term time and materials contracts.
Contracts with customers
The Company derives net revenues primarily from contracts with a duration of less than one week to three years (with the majority of contracts with durations of less than six months) which are subject to multiple pricing options, including fixed
price, unit price, time and material, or cost plus a markup. The Company also enters into fixed price service contracts related to monitoring, maintenance, and inspection of safety systems. The Company may utilize subcontractors in the fulfillment of its performance obligations. When doing so, the Company is considered the principal in these transactions and revenues are recognized on a gross basis.
Net revenues for fixed price agreements are generally recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method of accounting, which measures progress based on the cost incurred relative to total expected cost in satisfying its performance obligation. The cost-to-cost method is used as it best depicts the continuous transfer of control of goods or services to the customer. Costs incurred include direct materials, labor and subcontract costs, and indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. These contract costs are included in the results of operations under cost of revenues. Labor and subcontractor labor costs are considered to be incurred and recognized as the work is performed.
Net revenues from time and material contracts are recognized as the services are provided and is equal to the sum of the contract costs incurred plus an agreed upon markup. Net revenues earned from distribution contracts are recognized upon shipment or performance of the service.
The cost estimation process for recognizing net revenues over time under the cost-to-cost method is based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers, and finance professionals. Management reviews estimates of total contract transaction price and total project costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and management’s assessment of expected variable consideration are factors that influence estimates of the total contract transaction price, total costs to complete those contracts, and the Company’s profit recognition. Changes in these factors could result in cumulative revisions to net revenues in the period in which the revisions are determined, which could materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations for that period. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such estimated losses are determined.
The Company disaggregates its net revenues primarily by segment, service type, and country from which revenues are invoiced, as the nature, timing and uncertainty of cash flows are relatively consistent within each of these categories. The following tables provide disclosure of disaggregated net revenues by segment for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. Disaggregated net revenues information is as follows:

The Company’s contracts with its customers generally require significant services to integrate complex activities and equipment into a single deliverable and are, therefore, generally accounted for as a single performance obligation to provide a single contracted service for the duration of the project. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price of a contract is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as net revenues when or as the performance obligation is satisfied using the estimated stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service. The stand-alone selling price is estimated using the expected cost plus a margin approach for each performance obligation. For in-process contracts, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations at December 31, 2024 was $3,040. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 87% of the remaining performance obligations over the next twelve months.
When more than one contract is entered into with a customer on or close to the same date, management evaluates whether those contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract as well as whether those contracts should be accounted for as one, or more than one, performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and is based on the facts and circumstances of the various contracts.
Contracts are often modified through change orders to account for changes in the scope and price of the goods or services being provided. Although the Company evaluates each change order to determine whether such modification creates a separate performance obligation, the majority of change orders are for goods or services that are not distinct within the
context of the original contract and, therefore, not treated as a separate performance obligation but rather as a modification of the existing contract and performance obligation.
Variable consideration
Transaction prices for customer contracts may include variable consideration, which comprises items such as early completion bonuses and liquidated damages provisions. Management estimates variable consideration for a performance obligation utilizing estimation methods believed to best predict the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable, in the Company’s judgment, that a significant future reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Changes in the estimates of transaction prices are recognized in net revenues on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions to the estimates are made. Such changes in estimates may also result in the reversal of previously recognized net revenues if the ultimate outcome differs from the Company’s previous estimate. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, there were no significant reversals of revenues recognized associated with the revision of transaction prices. The Company typically does not incur any returns, refunds, or similar obligations after the completion of the performance obligation since any deficiencies are corrected during the course of performance.
Contract assets and liabilities
The Company typically invoices customers with payment terms of net due in 30 days. It is also common for contracts in the Company's industries to specify a general contractor is not required to submit payments to a subcontractor until it has received those funds from the owner or funding source. In most instances, the Company receives payment of invoices between 30 to 90 days of the date of the invoice.
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets include unbilled amounts from the Company’s projects when revenues are recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress and exceeds the amounts invoiced to the Company’s customers, as the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of the Company's contracts. In addition, many of the Company’s time and material arrangements are billed in arrears pursuant to contract terms, resulting in the Company recording contract assets as net revenues are recognized in advance of billings.
Contract liabilities from the Company’s contracts arise when amounts invoiced to the Company’s customers exceed net revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress. Contract liabilities also include advance payments from the Company’s customers on certain contracts. Contract liabilities decrease as the Company recognizes net revenues from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation.
The Company utilizes the practical expedient under ASC 606 and does not adjust for a significant financing component if the time between payment and the transfer of the related good or service is expected to be one year or less. The Company’s revenue arrangements are typically accounted for under such expedient as payments are within one year of performance for the Company’s services. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, none of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component.
Contract assets and contract liabilities are classified as current in the consolidated balance sheets as all amounts are expected to be relieved within one year. The balances of accounts receivable, net of allowances, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers as of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 are as follows:
Accounts receivable, net of allowancesContract
assets		Contract

Balance at December 31, 20231,395 436 526 
Balance at December 31, 20221,313 459 463 
The Company did not recognize significant revenues associated with the final settlement of contract value for any projects completed in prior periods. In accordance with industry practice, accounts receivable includes retentions receivable, a portion of which may not be received within one year. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, retentions receivable were $160 and $156, respectively, while the portions that may not be received within one year were $38 and $25, respectively. There
were no other significant changes due to business acquisitions or significant changes in estimates of contract progress or transaction price. There were no significant impairments of contract assets recognized during the period.
Costs to obtain or fulfill a contract
The Company generally does not incur significant incremental costs related to obtaining or fulfilling a contract prior to the start of a project. The Company may incur certain fulfillment costs such as initial design or mobilization costs which are capitalized if: (i) they relate directly to the contract, (ii) are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligation under the contract, and (iii) are expected to be recovered through revenues generated under the contract. Such costs, which are amortized over the life of the respective project, were not material for any period presented.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Dec. 31, 2024
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. As the basis for evaluating such inputs, a three-tier value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions.
Recurring fair value measurements
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities (adjusted to fair value at least quarterly) are derivative instruments and contingent consideration obligations. In the consolidated balance sheets, derivative instruments are primarily included in other noncurrent assets and other noncurrent liabilities and contingent consideration obligations are primarily included in contingent consideration and compensation liabilities.
The following tables summarize the fair values and levels within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements fall for assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments using standard pricing models and market-based assumptions for all inputs such as yield curves and quoted spot and forward exchange rates. Accordingly, the Company’s derivative instruments are classified as Level 2.
Contingent consideration obligations
The value of the contingent consideration obligations is determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow method. This fair value measurement is based on unobservable inputs in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the purchase agreements (e.g., potential payment amounts, length of measurement periods, manner of calculating any amounts due) and utilizes assumptions with regard to future cash flows, probabilities of achieving such future cash flows, and a discount rate. Depending on the contractual terms of the purchase agreement, the probabilities of achieving future cash flows or earnings generally represent the only significant unobservable inputs. The contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value each reporting period and changes in estimates of fair value are recognized in earnings.
The table below presents a reconciliation of the fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration obligations that use unobservable inputs (Level 3), as well as other information about the contingent consideration obligations:

At December 31, 2024, the remaining open contingent consideration arrangements are set to expire at various dates through 2026. Level 3 unobservable inputs were used to calculate the fair value adjustments shown in the table above. The fair value adjustments and the related unobservable inputs were not considered significant for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Fair value estimates
The following table presents the carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s variable and non-variable interest rate debt (instruments defined in Note 13 – “Debt”), including current portion and excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. Fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows at currently available rates for borrowing arrangements with similar terms and conditions, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. The interest rates of the variable interest rate long-term debt instruments are generally reset monthly.
During 2024, the Company repriced and upsized the 2021 Term Loan by an aggregate principal amount equal to $850. During 2024, the Company also repaid $100 to the 2021 Term Loan and the remaining $330 of the 2019 Term Loan. During 2023, the Company completed repricing of its 2019 Term Loan and 2021 Term Loan and $422 of the 2019 Term Loan was extended to the 2021 Term Loan. During 2023, the Company also repaid an aggregate amount of $375 and $100 to the 2019 Term Loan and 2021 Term Loan, respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
DERIVATIVES DERIVATIVES
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swaps, and interest rate swap agreements to manage risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates, net investments in foreign operations, and interest rates. The Company does not hold derivative financial instruments of a speculative nature or for trading purposes. The Company records derivatives as assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings unless the derivative qualifies and is designated as a hedge under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Cash flows from derivatives are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships. The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis. If a derivative is no longer expected to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued.
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance of counterparties for foreign currency forward exchange contracts, cross currency swaps, and interest rate swap agreements. The Company monitors its exposure to credit risk by using credit approvals and credit limits and by selecting major global banks and financial institutions as counterparties. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading purposes and is not party to any derivatives that require collateral to be posted prior to settlement.
Certain of the Company’s derivative transactions are subject to master netting arrangements that allow the Company to net settle contracts with the same counterparties. These arrangements do not call for collateral and no cash collateral has been received or pledged related to the underlying derivatives.

Cash flow hedges
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.
Interest rate swaps
The Company manages its fixed and floating rate debt mix using interest rate swaps. The Company uses interest rate swap contracts to separate interest rate risk management from the debt funding decision. The Company elected a method that does not require continuous evaluation of hedge effectiveness.
During 2022, the Company terminated the previously outstanding $720 notional amount interest rate swap with a maturity date in October 2024 ("2024 Interest Rate Swap"). The present value as of the date of termination of the 2024 Interest Rate Swap was recorded in AOCI on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value previously recognized in AOCI related to interest rate movements of the 2024 Interest Rate Swap was amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis through October 2024. As of December 31, 2024, no unrealized pre-tax gains related to the terminated swap remained in AOCI.
The Company has an aggregate $720 notional amount interest rate swap ("2026 Interest Rate Swap") and aggregate $400 notional swaps ("2028 Interest Rate Swap"), each amended on May 19, 2023 in connection with the transition to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Refer to Note 13 – "Debt" for additional information. The 2026 Interest Rate Swap exchanges a variable rate of interest (SOFR) for an average fixed rate of interest of approximately 3.59% over the term of the agreement, which matures in October 2026. The 2028 Interest Rate Swap exchanges a variable rate of interest (SOFR) for an average fixed rate of interest of approximately 3.41% over the term of the agreements, which mature January 2028.
On September 18, 2024, the Company entered into a $720 notional amount forward starting interest rate swap that exchanges a variable rate of interest (SOFR) for an average fixed rate of interest of approximately 3.13% over the term of the agreement, commencing in October 2026 and maturing in January 2029 ("2029 Interest Rate Swap"). Upon commencement, the 2029 Interest Rate Swap will cover the remainder of the interest payments starting in October 2026 to the maturity of the 2021 Term Loan.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $1,840 total notional amount outstanding in the 2026 Interest Rate Swap, the 2028 Interest Rate Swap, and the 2029 Interest Rate Swap. The Company has designated these swaps as cash flow hedges of the interest rate risk attributable to forecasted variable interest (SOFR) payments for its SOFR-based term loans of $2,157. As of December 31, 2024, the weighted-average fixed rate of interest on these swaps was approximately 3.52%. Variations in the assets and liability balances are primarily driven by changes in the applicable forward yield curves related to SOFR.
Cross-currency swaps
The Company enters into cross currency exchange contracts utilized to hedge against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and to hedge exposures of certain intercompany loans subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company periodically assesses whether its currency exchange contracts are effective, and when a contract is determined to be no longer effective as a hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.
During 2021, the Company entered into two cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of $26 and $94 with maturity dates of September 2027 and 2030, respectively.
Foreign currency forward contracts
The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted foreign currency transactions, including inventory purchases and intercompany charges and other payments. These forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value of these contracts are recorded in other comprehensive income until the hedged items affect earnings, at which time the hedge gain or loss is reclassified into current earnings.
The Company periodically assesses whether its currency exchange contracts are effective, and when a contract is determined to be no longer effective as a hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $0 total notional amount outstanding in foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges.
Fair value hedges
The Company has certain intercompany loans subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In June 2024, to hedge these exposures, the Company entered into a cross currency swap maturing June 2029 and designated as a fair value hedge with a gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent of $16 in AUD. In 2022, the Company entered into three cross currency swaps all with maturity dates of January 2027 and are designated as fair value hedges with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalents of $271, $241, and $209 in GBP, CAD, and EUR, respectively. The Company measures the effectiveness of
fair value hedges on a spot-to-spot basis. Accordingly, the spot-to-spot change in the derivative fair values are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and perfectly offset the spot-to-spot change in the underlying intercompany loans, and as such, these hedges are deemed highly effective. The excluded component of the fair values of these derivatives is reported in AOCI within shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Any cash flows associated with these instruments are included in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Net investment hedge
The Company has net investments in foreign subsidiaries subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During 2021, the Company entered into a $230 notional foreign currency swap designated as a net investment hedge for a portion of the Company’s net investments in Euro-denominated subsidiaries. Gains and losses resulting from a change in fair value of the net investment hedge are offset by gains and losses on the underlying foreign currency exposure and are included in AOCI in the consolidated balance sheets.
During 2021, the Company amended the critical terms of the foreign currency swap by extending the maturity date to July 2029 and modifying the U.S. dollar and Euro coupons. The amended swap was redesignated as a net investment hedge and is recorded at fair value with changes recorded in AOCI. The initial net investment hedge was dedesignated. The amended net investment hedge reduces the Company’s interest expense by approximately $3 annually and reduces its overall effective interest rate by approximately 24 basis points.
The fair value previously recognized in AOCI related to interest rate movements of the dedesignated swap is being amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis through the third quarter of 2029 and reduces the Company's interest expense by approximately $1 annually.
Foreign currency forward contracts
The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on confirmed foreign currency transactions, including inventory purchases and intercompany charges and other payments. These forward contracts are undesignated for hedge accounting purposes. The changes in fair value of these contracts are recorded in investment expense (income) and other, net.

Leases [Abstract]  
LEASES LEASES
The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception, which is the date on which the terms of the contract are agreed to, and the agreement creates enforceable rights and obligations. Under ASC 842, a contract is or contains a lease when (i) explicitly or implicitly identified assets have been deployed in the contract and (ii) the customer obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset and directs how and for what
purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. The Company also considers whether its service arrangements include the right to control the use of an asset.
The Company leases various facilities, equipment and vehicles from unrelated parties, which are primarily classified and accounted for as operating leases. The facility leases are primarily for office space with initial terms extending up to ten years. The equipment leases are primarily related to heavy equipment utilized in the completion of construction jobs, and the terms of the agreements range from one to seven years. Vehicle leases have a minimum lease term ranging from one to seven years. Some leases include one or more options to renew, generally at the Company’s sole discretion, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term by one to twelve years or more.
The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms of twelve months or less. For all other leases, the Company recognizes right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date of the lease (or January 1, 2019 for leases existing upon the adoption of ASC 842). The ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and lease payments made at or before the commencement date and are reduced by lease incentives.
When material leases are acquired in business combinations, the Company is required to measure the acquired lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining lease payments as if the acquired leases were new leases. A reassessment of the lease term, lessee options to purchase an underlying asset, lease payments, and discount rates is performed as of the date of acquisition. The ROU assets are then remeasured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any off-market terms present in the acquired leases.
The Company’s future lease payments may include payments that depend on an index or a rate (such as the consumer price index). The Company initially measures payments based on an index or rate using the applicable rate at lease commencement, and subsequent changes in such rates are recognized as variable lease costs in the period incurred. Some leases contain variable payments that are not based on an index or rate and therefore are not included in the initial measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities. These variable payments typically represent additional services transferred to the Company, such as common area maintenance for real estate, and maintenance or service programs for vehicles, and are recorded in lease expense in the period incurred. For leases that include residual value guarantees or payments for terminating the lease, the Company includes these costs in the lease liability when it is probable they will be incurred.
The Company determines the present value of lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”), as the Company’s leases generally do not have a readily determinable implicit discount rate. The Company applies judgment in assessing factors such as Company-specific credit risk, lease term, nature and quality of the underlying collateral, and economic environment in determining the incremental borrowing rates for its leases.
The Company’s IBR reflects the rate of the parent or group level. The Company acts as the central treasury function for all its subsidiaries and its collateral quality was considered in aggregate for the IBR. The Company developed IBR curves for all currency denominations of its leases. To determine its creditworthiness, the Company considered publicly available credit ratings from S&P Global Ratings ("S&P") and Moody’s Investors Service ("Moody’s"). Both the S&P local currency long-term rating and the Moody’s long-term corporate family credit ratings have remained stable at BB and Ba2 in 2024. The amount (and impact) of the Company’s future operating lease payments, a consideration in the development of the IBR, would be reflected in the Company’s underlying credit rating. In its development of the IBR, the Company applied a base market yield curve reflective of its unsecured credit rating. Adjustments to the base market yield curve were then considered for any Company-specific debt instruments outstanding at the measurement date, and securitization adjustments were made to conclude on a lessee specific securitized market yield curve. No adjustment was considered for economic environment risk for the U.S. IBR as the underlying market data to derive the IBR was in USD. The Company also has significant leases located in (denominated in): Canada (CAD), European Union (EUR), United Kingdom (GBP), and Australia (AUD). To derive the applicable foreign IBR curves, the Company adjusted its concluded United States/USD IBR curve to the applicable foreign IBR curves using the covered interest rate parity theory, which captures foreign currency risk. The Company developed its IBR curves with tenors ranging from 1-year to 30-years to match its anticipated lease terms. For each lease, the Company applied the IBR that aligned with the concluded lease term. The Company estimated the IBRs on a quarterly basis throughout 2024, which ranged from 1.79% to 9.63% across all currencies for the 1-year through 30-year tenor.
The Company has made an accounting policy election to account for lease and non-lease components in its contracts as a single lease component for all asset classes except for certain asset classes within its information technology arrangements.
The Company allocates the consideration for certain asset classes within information technology arrangements to the separate components based on relative stand-alone prices using observable prices, if available, or estimates of stand-alone prices using observable information available.
Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease cost is recognized as a combination of amortization expense for the ROU assets and interest expense for the outstanding lease liabilities, and results in a front-loaded expense pattern over the lease term.
The components of lease expense are as follows:

Term loan facility
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no principal outstanding under the $1,200 term loan (the "2019 Term Loan") and $2,157 of principal outstanding under the incremental term loan (the "2021 Term Loan"). The interest rate applicable to the 2021 Term Loan is, at the Company's option, either (1) a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.00% or (2) Term SOFR rate (adjusted for statutory reserves) plus an applicable margin equal to 2.00%.
The interest rate applicable to borrowings under the $500 five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) is, at the Company’s option, either (1) a base rate plus an applicable margin equal to 1.25%, or (2) a Term
SOFR rate (adjusted for statutory reserves) plus an applicable margin equal to 2.25% plus a credit spread adjustment ("CSA").
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and $494 and $495, respectively, was available under the Revolving Credit Facility, after giving effect to $6 and $5, respectively, of outstanding letters of credit.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company completed its Sixth Amendment to its credit agreement, upsizing and repricing the 2021 Term Loan and repaying the 2019 Term Loan. The repricing reduced the applicable margin on the 2021 Term Loan by 50 basis points and removed the CSA. As part of the transaction, the Company incurred approximately $550 of incremental principal on the 2021 Term Loan. The proceeds were used to repay the remaining $330 of the 2019 Term Loan, repay $100 of the Revolving Credit Facility outstanding, and for general corporate purposes, including to partially fund the Elevated acquisition.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed its Fifth Amendment to its credit agreement, upsizing its 2021 Term Loan by an aggregate principal amount equal to $300. The loan proceeds were directed as consideration for a portion of the purchase price for the Series B Preferred Stock Conversion. For additional information regarding the Series B Preferred Stock Conversion, see Note 19 – "Shareholders' Equity and Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock."
During 2024, the Company made aggregate payments of $330 and $100 on the 2019 Term Loan and 2021 Term Loan, respectively. As a result of the principal payments, the Company incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $1 related to unamortized debt issuance costs, which was recorded within loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
During 2023, the Company made aggregate payments of $375 and $100 on the 2019 Term Loan and 2021 Term Loan, respectively. As a result of the principal payments, the Company incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $7 related to unamortized debt issuance costs, which was recorded within loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants.
Swap activity
In 2023, the Company amended its existing interest rate swaps in connection with the transition to SOFR for the term loans.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a $720 notional value 2026 Interest Rate Swap, exchanging one-month SOFR for a fixed rate of 3.59% per annum, and $400 notional value 2028 Interest Rate Swap, exchanging one-month SOFR for a rate of 3.41%. Accordingly, the Company's fixed interest rate per annum on the first swapped $400 notional value of the term loan is 5.41% and the second swapped $720 notional value of the term loans is 5.59% through the swaps' maturity. The remaining $1,037 of the term loan balance will bear interest based on one-month SOFR plus 200 basis points, but the rate will fluctuate as SOFR fluctuates. During 2024, the Company entered into a $720 notional amount forward starting interest rate swap commencing in October 2026 and maturing in January 2029 that exchanges a variable rate of interest (SOFR) for an average fixed rate of interest of approximately 3.13% over the term of the agreement. Refer to Note 10 – "Derivatives" for additional information.
Senior notes
4.125% Senior Notes
During 2021, the Company completed a private offering of $350 aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes (the “4.125% Senior Notes”) issued under an indenture dated June 22, 2021. The 4.125% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.
4.750% Senior Notes
During 2021, the Company completed a private offering of $300 aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "4.750% Senior Notes"), issued under an indenture dated October 21, 2021, as supplemented by a supplemental indenture dated January 3, 2022. The 4.750% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and certain of the Company's subsidiaries.
Senior Notes Repurchases
During 2022, the Company repurchased on the open market $13 and $23 of the 4.125% Senior Notes and 4.750% Senior Notes, respectively (the "Repurchases"). In connection with the Repurchases, the Company recognized a net gain on debt extinguishment of $5 within loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the indentures governing the 4.125% Senior Notes and 4.750% Senior Notes as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Deferred income tax assets represent potential future income tax benefits. Realization of these assets is ultimately dependent upon future taxable income. Deferred tax assets must be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that some or all of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in a future period. The Company considers all negative and positive evidence, including the weight of the evidence, to determine if a valuation allowance is required. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, valuation allowances of $92 and $114 were recorded against certain deferred tax assets of the Company’s domestic and foreign subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had gross federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0, $20, and $93, respectively. The state net operating loss carryforwards have carryforward periods of five to twenty years and begin to expire in 2029. The foreign net operating loss carryforwards generally have carryback periods of three years, carryforward periods of twenty years, or that are indefinite, and begin to expire in 2025.
As of December 31, 2024, there were approximately $289 of accumulated undistributed earnings of subsidiaries outside of the United States, all of which are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Due to the complexity of the legal entity structure, the number of legal entities and jurisdictions involved, and the complexity of the laws and regulations, the Company believes it is not practicable to estimate the amount of additional taxes which may be payable upon distribution of these undistributed earnings. Accordingly, no deferred taxes have been provided for withholding taxes or other taxes on permanently reinvested earnings.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
Year Ended December 31,

The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits is recorded within other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company had $3 and $2 of accrued gross interest and penalties as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company did not recognize net interest expense.
If all of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 were recognized, $12 would impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company expects $1 of unrecognized tax benefits to expire in the next twelve months due to lapses in the statute of limitations.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2024, with few exceptions, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are subject to examination. There are various other audits in state and foreign jurisdictions. T

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Employee stock purchase plan
Most of the Company’s employees in the U.S and Canada, including named executive officers, are eligible to participate in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock under the ESPP are generally made pursuant to offerings that are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The ESPP permits employees of the Company to purchase common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of (i) the market value of the common stock on the first date of the offering period, or (ii) the market value of the
common stock on the purchase date, whichever is lower. Participants are subject to eligibility requirements and may not purchase more than 500 shares in any offering period or more than ten thousand dollars of common stock in a year under the ESPP.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $5 of expense, and issued 616,740 shares of the Company's common stock at a weighted-average price per share of $26.64 related to the ESPP. As of December 31, 2024, the Company accrued a liability of $7, which has been recorded as accrued salaries and wages in the consolidated balance sheets, for 228,787 shares of the Company's common stock that were issued to employees in January 2025. As of December 31, 2024, there were approximately 5,431,500 shares reserved for future issuance under the ESPP.
401(k) plans
The Company has 401(k) plans that provide for annual contributions not to exceed the maximum amount allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. The plans are qualified and cover employees meeting certain eligibility requirements who are not covered by collective bargaining agreements. The amounts contributed each year are discretionary and are determined annually by management.
The Company recognized $16, $13, and $12, in 401(k) expense during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Defined benefit pension plans
The Company sponsors both funded and unfunded foreign defined benefit pension plans that cover a portion of the Company's employees, and the largest plans are closed to new participants and frozen for accrual of future service. Refer to Note 16 – "Pension" for more information on these plans.
Post-retirement benefit plans
As part of the Chubb Acquisition, the Company assumed an unfunded post-retirement benefit plan that provides life benefits to certain eligible retirees in Canada. As of December 31, 2024, the benefit obligation was $3. The PBO discount rate was 4.5% at December 31, 2024.
Benefit payments, including amounts to be paid from corporate assets and reflecting expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be less than $1 for 2025 through 2028 and thereafter.
Profit sharing plans
The Company has a trustee-administered, profit sharing retirement plan covering substantially all of the Company's employees in the U.S. not covered by collective bargaining agreements and a profit sharing plan for employees in Canada (collectively, “Profit Sharing Plans”). The Profit Sharing Plans provide for annual discretionary contributions in amounts based on a performance grid as determined by the Company’s directors, which may be settled in shares of the Company's common stock or in cash. In connection with these plans, the Company recognized $27, $19, and $15 in expense for shares distributed to eligible employees during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company accrued a liability of $28 and $19, respectively, which has been recorded as accrued salaries and wages in the consolidated balance sheets for shares of the Company's common stock. The liability accrued as of December 31, 2023 was settled in common stock during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Multiemployer pension plans
The Company participates in several multiemployer pension plans ("MEPP") that provide retirement benefits to certain union employees in accordance with various collective bargaining agreements ("CBA"). As one of many participating employers in these MEPPs, the Company may be responsible with the other participating employers for any plan underfunding. The Company’s contributions to a particular MEPP are established by the applicable CBAs; however, its required contributions may increase based on the funded status of the MEPP and the legal requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (the "PPA"), which requires substantially underfunded MEPPs to implement a funding improvement plan ("FIP") or a rehabilitation plan ("RP") to improve their funded status. Factors that could impact the funded status of the MEPP include, without limitation, investment performance, changes in the participant demographics,
decline in the number of contributing employers, changes in actuarial assumptions, and the utilization of extended amortization provisions.
The Company believes that certain of the MEPPs in which the Company participates may have underfunded vested benefits. Due to uncertainty regarding future factors that could trigger withdrawal liability, as well as the absence of specific information regarding the MEPPs current financial situation, the Company is unable to determine (a) the amount and timing of any future withdrawal liability, if any, and (b) whether the Company’s participation in these MEPPs could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. The Company did not record any withdrawal liability for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
The Company’s participation in MEPPs for the year ended December 31, 2024, is outlined in the table below. The EIN/PN column provides the Employer Identification Number ("EIN") and the three-digit plan number ("PN"). The most recent PPA zone status available for 2024, 2023 and 2022 is for the plan year-ends, as indicated below. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plans and is certified by the plans’ actuaries. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans in the yellow zone are between 65% and 80% funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The FIP/RP status pending/implemented column indicates plans for which an FIP or an RP either is pending or has been implemented. In addition, the Company may be subject to a surcharge if the Plan is in the red zone. The Surcharge imposed column indicates whether a surcharge has been imposed on contributions to the Plan. The last column lists the expiration date(s) of the collective bargaining agreement(s) to which the plans are subject.

(1)The zone status represents the most recent available information for the respective MEPP, which may be 2023 or earlier for the 2024 year and 2022 or earlier for the 2023 year.
(2)This information was obtained from the respective plan’s Form 5500 (Forms) for the most current available filing. These dates may not correspond with the Company’s fiscal year contributions. The above-noted percentages of contributions are based upon disclosures contained in the plans’ Forms. Those Forms, among other things, disclose the names of individual
participating employers whose annual contributions account for more than 5% of the aggregate annual amount contributed by all participating employers for a plan year. Accordingly, if the annual contribution of two or more of the Company’s subsidiaries each accounted for less than 5% of such contributions, but in the aggregate accounted for in excess of 5% of such contributions, that greater percentage is not available and accordingly is not disclosed.
(3)2024, 2023, and 2022 periods represent the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
The nature and diversity of the Company’s business may result in volatility in the amount of its contributions to a particular MEPP for any given period. That is because, in any given market, the Company could be working on a significant project and/or projects, which could result in an increase in its direct labor force and a corresponding increase in its contributions to the MEPP(s) dictated by the applicable CBA. When that particular project(s) finishes and is not replaced, the number of participants in the MEPP(s) who are employed by the Company would also decrease, as would its level of contributions to the particular MEPP(s). Additionally, the amount of contributions to a particular MEPP could also be affected by the terms of the CBA, which could require, at a particular time, an increase in the contribution rate and/or surcharges. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s contributions to various MEPP(s) did not significantly increase as a result of acquisitions.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
PENSION PENSION
The Company sponsors both funded and unfunded foreign defined benefit pension plans that cover a portion of the Company's employees, and the largest plans are closed to new participants and frozen for accrual of future service. The Company assumed the pension plans as part of the Chubb Acquisition on January 3, 2022.
Guidance under FASB ASC Topic 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits, requires balance sheet recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and postretirement benefit plans. Under this guidance, actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits, and any remaining transition assets or obligations that have not been recognized under previous accounting standards must be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. Pension and post-retirement obligation balances and related costs reflected within the consolidated balance sheets include costs directly attributable to plans dedicated to the Company.
During 2023, an annuity purchase transaction, commonly known as a “buy-in,” was executed for the two pension plans in the United Kingdom ("U.K."). Under the terms of the insurance contracts, which were issued by a third-party insurance company with no affiliation to the Company, all pension obligations will be funded by the insurer’s annuity payments, but the plans still retain full legal responsibility to pay the benefits to plan participants using the insurance payments. As the plans maintain full legal responsibility, with the insurance contracts being assets of the plans, settlement accounting has not been applied. Given the funded status of the plans, the Company does not expect any future contributions to be required.

In July 2024, the U.K. Court of Appeal upheld a ruling in the matter of Virgin Media Limited versus NTL Pension Trustees II Limited, that certain historical amendments for contracted out defined benefit schemes were invalid if they were not accompanied by the correct actuarial confirmation, a decision that the Company was not a party to or involved in and could impact the Company's non-U.S. pension plans in the U.K. The Company has not identified any benefit uncertainties for which the potential impact would need to be considered and will continue to monitor this development during 2025 and beyond.

Salary scale3.0 %3.1 %3.1 %3.0 %
Expected return on plan assets— %3.9 %— %4.9 %
Except for the U.K. pension plans, the discount rate assumptions are developed using a bond yield curve constructed from a population of high-quality, non-callable, corporate bond issues with maturities ranging from six years to nineteen years. A discount rate is estimated for, and is based on, the durations of the underlying plans. For the U.K. pension plans, the discount rate is set using the U.K. gilt yield curve.
The expected long-term rate of return used for the Company’s pension plans is determined in each local jurisdiction and is based on the assets held in that jurisdiction, the expected rate of returns for the type of assets held and any guaranteed rate of return provided by the investment. The other assumptions used to measure the pension obligations, including discount rate, vary by country based on specific local requirements and information.
Non-U.S. pension plan assets are typically managed by decentralized fiduciary committees. The disclosure below of asset categories is presented in aggregate for 13 defined benefit plans in 7 countries; however, there is variation in asset allocation policy from country to country. Local regulations, local funding rules, and local financial and tax considerations are part of the funding and investment allocation process in each country. Each plan has its own strategic asset allocation. The asset allocations are reviewed periodically and rebalanced when necessary. The Company has no significant concentration of risk in the assets of its pension plans, other than the insurance contract assets, which are held with a single insurance company and subject to the insurance company’s ability to meet its payment obligations under the contracts.
The allocation of the pension plan assets are presented in the following table as weighted averages:

The insurance contracts were initially valued by taking the initial purchase price for the buy-in contract and using this to assess an assumed pricing basis. This pricing basis is then adjusted over time to reflect broad changes in insurers’ pricing
methodologies under different prevailing market conditions, using third party actuarial guidance as to typical insurer pricing based on similar transactions.

The plans review assets at least quarterly to ensure they are within the targeted asset allocation ranges and, if necessary, asset balances are adjusted back within target allocations. The plans generally employ a broadly diversified investment manager structure that includes diversification by active and passive management, style, capitalization, country, sector, industry, and number of investment managers.
Quoted market prices are used to value investments when available. Investments in securities traded on exchanges, including listed futures and options, are valued at the last reported sale prices on the last business day of the year or, if not available, the last reported bid prices. Fixed income securities are primarily measured using a market approach pricing methodology, where observable prices are obtained by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings.
Over-the-counter securities and government obligations are valued at the bid prices or the average of the bid and ask prices on the last business day of the year from published sources or, if not available, from other sources considered reliable, generally broker quotes. Temporary cash investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
The Company made total contributions of approximately $6 to the global defined benefit pension plans in 2024. Contributions do not reflect benefits to be paid directly from corporate assets. The Company estimates contributions to be made to its pension plans will approximate $5 in 2025.
Benefit payments, including amounts to be paid from the plans and corporate assets, and reflecting expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid as follows: $95 in 2025, $95 in 2026, $99 in 2027, $102 in 2028, $99 in 2029, and $494 from 2030 through 2034.

The Company is involved in various litigation matters and is subject to claims from time to time from customers and various government entities. While it is not feasible to determine the outcome of any of these uncertainties, it is the opinion of management that their outcomes will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
Environmental
The Company's operations are subject to environmental regulation by various authorities. The Company has accrued for the costs of environmental remediation activities, including but not limited to, investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs, and performance guarantees, and periodically reassess these amounts. Management believes that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of the amounts accrued is remote.
The outstanding liability for these obligations was $15 and $17 and was included in other noncurrent liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Series A Preferred Stock
The Company has 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2024 ("Series A Preferred Stock"). The Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis on the last day of 2026.
The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an annual dividend in the form of common shares or cash, at the Company’s sole option (for which the Company settled in shares subsequent to year end) based on the increase in the market price of the Company’s common stock (the "Annual Dividend Amount"). The Annual Dividend Amount is equal to 20% of the increase in the volume-weighted average market price per share of the Company’s common shares for the last ten trading days of the calendar year, multiplied by 141,194,638 shares. As of December 31, 2024, an annual dividend was calculated based on the appreciation of the Company’s share price of $37.3070 over the highest price previously used in calculating the Annual Dividend Amount of $33.9465. The annual dividend declared as of December 31, 2024 was settled in shares and the Company issued 2,543,662 common shares to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in January 2025.
As of December 31, 2023, an annual dividend was calculated based on the appreciation of the Company's share price of $33.9465 over the highest price previously used in calculating the Annual Dividend Amount of $24.3968. The annual dividend declared as of December 31, 2023 was settled in shares and the Company issued 7,944,104 common shares to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in January 2024.
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are also entitled to participate in any dividends on the common shares on an if-converted basis. In addition, if the Company pays a dividend on its common shares, the Series A Preferred Stock holders will also receive an amount equal to 20% of the dividend which would be distributable on 141,194,638 of common shares. All such dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be paid at the same time as the dividends on the common shares. Dividends are paid for the term the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding.
Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one common share at the option of the holder until conversion. If there is more than one holder of Series A Preferred Stock, a holder of Series A Preferred Stock may exercise its rights independently of any other holder of Series A Preferred Stock.

During 2024, the Company issued 12,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in a public underwritten offering. The proceeds from this offering totaled approximately $458, net of related expenses. The Company used net proceeds from this offering to finance a portion of the consideration for the Elevated acquisition and for general corporate purposes.
Stock repurchases
During 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program ("SRP") to purchase up to an aggregate of $1,000 shares of the Company's common stock. This stock repurchase program will expire when the authorized amount is exhausted, unless otherwise modified or terminated by the Company's Board of Directors at any time in its sole discretion. The SRP authorizes open market, private, and accelerated share repurchase transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 16,260,160 shares of common stock for approximately $600. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $400 of authorized repurchases remaining under the SRP.

Series B Preferred Stock
During 2022, the Company authorized, issued and sold, for an aggregate purchase price of $800, 800,000 shares of the Company’s 5.5% Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
On February 28, 2024, the Company entered into a Conversion and Repurchase Agreement with Juno Lower Holdings L.P. ("Juno Lower Holdings"), FD Juno Holdings L.P.

Under the terms of the agreement, (i) the Series B Holders each agreed to exercise their respective right to convert all of their Series B Preferred Stock into common stock, resulting in a total of 800,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted into approximately 32,803,519 shares of common stock of the Company (inclusive of approximately 283,196 shares attributable to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (the "Conversion Shares")) and (ii) upon issuance of
the Conversion Shares, the Company agreed to immediately repurchase one-half of the Conversion Shares, on a pro rata basis, from the Series B Holders for an aggregate purchase price of $600. The fair value of the issued one-half of the remaining Conversion Shares was $569.
The repurchase price was financed by (i) an incremental term facility of $300 and (ii) cash and available credit from the balance sheet.
Dividends
Following the Series B Preferred Stock Conversion there are no Series B Preferred Shares issued or outstanding and the former holders of Series B Preferred Stock are no longer entitled to receive cumulative dividends. The Company declared a pro rata Series B Preferred Stock dividend of $7, or 283,196 shares of common stock, during the year ended December 31, 2024 for the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding through February 28, 2024.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company maintains a 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), which allows for grants of share-based awards.
At December 31, 2024, there were 11,998,287 share-based awards collectively available for grant under the 2019 Plan. The 2019 Plan generally provides for awards to vest no earlier than one year from the date of grant, although most awards entitle the recipient to common shares if specified market or performance conditions are achieved, if applicable, and vest over a minimum of three years. The share-based awards granted to employees include stock options and restricted stock units.
Stock Options
In 2017, upon its initial public offering, the Company issued 162,500 nonqualified stock options to independent, non-executive directors at an exercise price of $11.50 per share with contractual terms of five years from the date of the acquisition of APi Group (the "APi Acquisition"), October 1, 2019. These stock options were performance-based and vested on the consummation of the APi Acquisition. The Company has not granted stock options since 2017.
The following table summarizes the changes in the number of common shares underlying options for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (shares in whole numbers and per share values in whole dollars):

For awards subject to a market condition, the grant-date fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for awards subject to market-based vesting conditions regardless of whether it becomes probable that these conditions will be achieved or not, and stock-based compensation expense for any such awards is not reversed if vesting does not actually occur. The Monte Carlo model is based on random projections of stock price paths and must be repeated numerous times to achieve a probabilistic assessment. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility and implied volatility of the Company's common stock, and the risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve rates with maturities consistent with the three-year vesting period. The key assumptions used in valuing these market-based awards were as follows:
Risk-free interest rate1.85 %
Dividend yield— 
Expected volatility45 %
The Company recognized $29 and $24 of compensation expense during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for the RSUs, PSUs, and MSUs in total. Total unrecognized compensation related to unvested RSUs, PSUs, and MSUs as of December 31, 2024 was approximately $21, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.6 years, 1.1 years, and 0.2 years, respectively. The Company's actual tax benefits realized from the tax deductions related to the vesting of RSUs was $7 and $1 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Net income is allocated between the Company’s common shares and other participating securities based on their participation rights. The Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock represent participating securities. Earnings attributable to Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are not included in earnings attributable to common shares in calculating earnings per common share (the two-class method). For periods of net loss, there is no impact from the two-class method on earnings per share (“EPS”) as net loss is allocated to common shares because Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are not contractually obligated to share the loss.
The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per common share using the two-class method. The dilutive effect of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock dividend, and the Series B Preferred Stock dividend is reflected in diluted EPS using the if-converted method and options, RSUs, PSUs and MSUs are reflected using the treasury stock method. For periods of net loss, basic and diluted EPS are the same, as the
assumed exercise of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, RSUs, PSUs, MSUs, and stock options are anti-dilutive. (Amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts.)

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Dec. 31, 2024
Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company manages its operations under three operating segments which represent the Company’s two reportable segments: Safety Services, comprised of the North American Life Safety and International Life Safety operating segments, and Specialty Services. This structure is generally comprised of various businesses related to contracted services and maintenance of industrial and commercial facilities. The segments have separate management and have results that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer and President, who acts as the Company's Chief Operating Decision
Maker (“CODM”), for the purpose of allocating resources and evaluating performance, identifying them as separate reportable segments.
The Safety Services segment focuses on end-to-end integrated occupancy systems (fire protection services, elevator and escalator, HVAC, and entry systems), including the design, installation, inspection and service of these integrated systems. The work performed within this segment spans across industries and facilities and includes commercial, education, healthcare, high tech, industrial, and special-hazard settings in over 20 countries.
The Specialty Services segment provides a variety of infrastructure services and specialized industrial plant services, which includes maintenance and repair of critical infrastructure such as underground electric, gas, water, sewer, and telecommunications infrastructure. This segment's services include engineering and design, fabrication, installation, maintenance service and repair, retrofitting and upgrading, pipeline infrastructure, access and road construction, supporting facilities, and performing ongoing integrity management and maintenance to customers within the energy industry. Customers within this segment vary from private and public utilities, communications, healthcare, education, transportation, manufacturing, industrial plants, and governmental agencies throughout North America.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 – “Significant Accounting Policies.” All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Intercompany revenues and costs between entities within a reportable segment are eliminated to arrive at segment totals, and eliminations between segments are separately presented.
Segment earnings is the measure of profitability used by the CODM to manage the segments and, accordingly, in segment reporting. Segment earnings is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and after adjustments for non-recurring items. Adjustments include expenses that management deems are non-recurring in nature and not indicative of the Company’s core operating results. These adjustments include business transformation and other expenses for the integration of acquired businesses, the impact and results of businesses classified as held-for-sale and divested, and one-time and other events such as impairment charges, restructuring costs, transaction and other costs related to acquisitions, amortization of intangible assets, and non-service pension cost or benefit.
The CODM establishes budgets for the segments, including growth of segment earnings. The CODM considers segment earnings budget-to-actual variances when making decisions about allocating capital to the segments. Segment earnings is also used in the compensation of certain employees and to assess the performance of each segment by regularly comparing the results of each segment with forecasted amounts. The CODM uses segment earnings to evaluate its performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because it excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core operating results for its reportable segments.
Summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments are presented and reconciled to consolidated financial information in the following tables, including a reconciliation of segment earnings to income before income taxes:

Subsequent Events [Abstract]  
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 2025, due to a change in information reviewed by the CODM, the Company realigned its segments by moving the HVAC business from Safety Services to Specialty Services. As a result, beginning in January 2025, HVAC business leadership responsibility and full accountability was transferred to report through the Specialty Services segment and information for the HVAC business is combined with the Specialty Services segment. The CODM began regularly reviewing financial information to allocate resources and assess performance utilizing these reorganized segments in January 2025. Further, as a result of the reallocation of goodwill between reportable segments, the Company will perform an impairment test for the impacted reporting unit pre-realignment and post-realignment, however, as the HVAC business is identified as a separate reporting unit, in all material respects, no impact is expected.
In February 2025, the Company completed its Seventh Amendment to its credit agreement, repricing the 2021 Term Loan. The repricing reduced the applicable margin on the 2021 Term Loan by 25 basis points

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
Risk Management and Strategy
Our cybersecurity risk management program primarily leverages the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework ("NIST CSF"). We routinely assess the threat landscape and take a holistic view of cybersecurity risks, with a layered cybersecurity strategy based on prevention, detection and mitigation. Our risk management program also assesses third party risks to attempt to identify and mitigate risks from third parties such as vendors, suppliers, and other business partners associated with our use of third-party service providers. As part of our cybersecurity risk management program, we also gather Threat Intelligence through our multiple security partners and tools. This intelligence (including tactics, techniques and procedures used by cyber criminals) provides insights into potential threats and vulnerabilities, which helps us to defend against cyber-attacks.
As part of our cybersecurity risk management system, our incident management teams track and log privacy and security incidents across the Company. Significant incidents are reviewed by a cross-functional and multi-disciplinary working group to determine whether further escalation is appropriate. Any cybersecurity incident that meets certain pre-established criteria is reported to our Executive Crisis Management Team ("ECMT"), which includes members of the Company’s senior leadership team. The ECMT maintains an ongoing relationship with third-party advisors, such as forensic and incident management, crisis communications, and legal advisors, which we engage as necessary based on the specific facts of an incident. Incidents are evaluated to determine materiality for external reporting purposes as well as operational and business impact.
Assessment of our Program
We regularly test defenses by performing simulations and drills at both a technical level (including through penetration tests) and by reviewing our operational policies and procedures with third parties. Our IT security team monitors alerts and meets as needed to discuss threat levels, trends, and remediation.
We periodically perform simulations and tabletop exercises with the senior leadership team and incorporate external resources and advisors as needed. As part of those tabletop exercises, we review our Executive Cyber Crisis Management Plan, which is intended to provide senior leadership with operational structure and key considerations in the event of a cybersecurity incident.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
 12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) include the accounts of the Company and of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted based on the Company’s proportionate share of earnings, losses, and distributions from each entity.
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates include the estimation of total contract costs used for net revenues and cost recognition from construction contracts, fair value estimates included in the accounting for acquisitions, valuation of long-lived assets and acquisition-related contingent consideration, self-insurance liabilities, income taxes, and the estimated effects of litigation and other contingencies.
Foreign currency and currency translation
The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at year-end, with resulting translation gains or losses included within other comprehensive income or loss. Net revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average monthly rates of exchange in effect during the year. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses, including hedging impacts, are classified in investment (expense) income and other, net, in the consolidated statements of operations and were a (loss) gain of ($2), $1 and $(2) for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. These net foreign currency transaction gains and losses include derivative instruments designed to reduce foreign currency exchange rate risks. Refer to Note 10 – "Derivatives" for further information. Translation gains or losses, which are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets, result from translation of the assets and liabilities of APi Group’s foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars. Foreign currency translation (losses) gains totaled approximately ($107), $61, and $(164) for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Nearly all of the Company’s foreign operations use their local currency as their functional currency. Currency gains or losses resulting from transactions executed in currencies other than the functional currency are included in investment expense (income) and other, net, in the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Restricted cash is reported as other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Restricted cash reflects collateral against certain bank guarantees.
Fair value of financial instruments
The financial instruments of the Company include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, contingent consideration and compensation liabilities, and debt obligations.
Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market as of the measurement date. ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to and is composed of the following levels:
Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contract assets, other receivables, accounts payable, contingent compensation liabilities, accrued liabilities, and contract liabilities approximate their fair values because of their short maturity. The fair value of the Company’s revolving line of credit facilities and long-term debt are based on current lending rates for similar borrowings, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity, and considering the collateral. The carrying values of revolving line of credit facilities approximate their fair values because the variable interest rates of these instruments are generally reset monthly.
The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated by discounting future cash flows at currently available rates for borrowing arrangements with similar terms and conditions, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments are determined using standard pricing models and market-based assumptions for all significant inputs, such as yield curves and quoted spot and forward exchange rates. The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration obligations is determined using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow method. This fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of wholesale insulation products, contracting materials and supplies. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment, including additions, replacements, and improvements is stated at cost or fair value for assets acquired in a business combination, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred unless such expenditures extend the life of the asset or increase its capacity or efficiency. Depreciation expense is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Upon sale or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the consolidated balance sheets and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Leases
The Company’s lease portfolio mainly consists of facilities, equipment, and vehicles. Operating lease assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term whereas lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term (or at fair values in the case of those leases assumed in an acquisition). As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses incremental borrowing rates that are based on its own external unsecured borrowing rates and are risk-adjusted to approximate secured borrowing
rates over similar terms. These rates are assessed on a quarterly basis for measurement of new lease obligations. The operating lease assets are calculated based on the value of the lease liability plus prepaid rental payments less lease incentives that the Company expects to receive. Leases with an initial term of less than one year are not recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Many leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term for several years. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased assets. The Company's lease terms include these renewal or purchase options when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. The Company’s lease agreements contain lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component for all asset classes except for certain asset classes within its information technology arrangements. Operating lease right-of-use assets are reported as separate lines in the consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are generally those leases that allow the Company to substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. For finance leases, the Company recognizes more expense in the initial years of total lease expense recognition due to the accretion of the lease liability and the straight-line amortization of the leased asset. Assets acquired under finance leases are recorded in property and equipment, net.
The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception, which is the date on which the terms of the contract are agreed to, and the agreement creates enforceable rights and obligations. Under ASC 842, a contract is or contains a lease when (i) explicitly or implicitly identified assets have been deployed in the contract and (ii) the customer obtains substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that underlying asset and directs how and for what
purpose the asset is used during the term of the contract. The Company also considers whether its service arrangements include the right to control the use of an asset.
The Company leases various facilities, equipment and vehicles from unrelated parties, which are primarily classified and accounted for as operating leases. The facility leases are primarily for office space with initial terms extending up to ten years. The equipment leases are primarily related to heavy equipment utilized in the completion of construction jobs, and the terms of the agreements range from one to seven years. Vehicle leases have a minimum lease term ranging from one to seven years. Some leases include one or more options to renew, generally at the Company’s sole discretion, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term by one to twelve years or more.
Goodwill impairment
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair market value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. The Company has recorded goodwill in connection with its historical acquisitions of businesses. Upon acquisition, these businesses were either combined into one of the existing components or managed on a stand-alone basis as an individual component.
The components are aligned to one of the Company’s two reportable segments, Safety Services or Specialty Services. Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level, which represents the operating segment level or one level below the operating segment level for which discrete financial information is available.
Management identifies its reporting units by assessing whether components have discrete financial information available, engage in business activities, and have a segment manager regularly review the component’s operating results. If two or more components are deemed economically similar, those components are aggregated into one reporting unit when performing the annual goodwill impairment test.
Goodwill is not amortized but instead is annually tested for impairment on October 1 each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. Qualitative indicators that may trigger the need for annual or interim quantitative impairment testing include, among other things, deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, declining financial performance, deterioration in the operational environment, or an expectation of selling or disposing of a portion of a reporting unit. Additionally, a significant change in business climate, a loss of a significant customer, increased competition, a sustained decrease in share price, or a decrease in estimated fair value below book value may trigger the need for interim impairment testing of goodwill associated with one or more reporting units.
Accounting standards for testing goodwill for impairment require the application of either a qualitative or quantitative assessment to analyze whether or not goodwill has been impaired. The Company performs the qualitative analysis by evaluating financial performance, macroeconomic conditions, and industry trends. Under the quantitative assessment, the Company evaluates each reporting unit for impairment comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recorded as a reduction to goodwill with a corresponding change to earnings in the period the goodwill is determined to be impaired. Any goodwill impairment is limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
For the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning ("HVAC"), North American Life Safety, Fabrication, and Specialty Contracting reporting units, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to analyze whether or not goodwill has been impaired.
For the quantitative analysis performed on the Infrastructure/Utility and International Life Safety reporting units, the Company determines the fair value of the reporting unit using a combination of the income approach (discounted cash flow method) and market approach (guideline transaction method and guideline public company method). Management weights each of the methods applied to determine the fair value of the reporting unit.
Under the discounted cash flow method, the Company determines fair value based on the estimated future cash flows for the reporting unit, discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted industry weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk for the reporting unit and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. Cash flow projections are derived from budgeted amounts (typically a one-year model) and subsequent period cash flows are developed for each reporting unit using growth rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur from a market participant’s standpoint. All cash flow projections by reporting unit are evaluated by management. A terminal value is derived by capitalizing free cash flow into perpetuity. The capitalization rate is derived from the weighted-average cost of capital and the estimated long-term growth rate for each reporting unit.
Under the guideline transaction and guideline public company methods, the Company determines the estimated fair value of its reporting unit by applying transaction multiples and public company multiples, respectively, to the reporting unit’s applicable earnings measure. The transaction multiples are based on observed purchase transactions for similar businesses adjusted for size, diversification and risk. The public company multiples are based on peer group multiples adjusted for size, growth, risk and margin.
See Note 8 – “Goodwill and Intangibles” for additional detail on goodwill and other intangible assets.
Impairment of long-lived assets excluding goodwill
The Company periodically reviews the carrying amount of its long-lived asset groups, including property and equipment and other identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization, when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Qualitative indicators that may trigger the need for impairment testing include an expectation of selling or disposing of a business unit. If facts and circumstances support the possibility of impairment, the Company will compare the carrying value of the asset or asset group with the undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset or asset group. If the carrying value of the asset or asset group is greater than its undiscounted cash flows, the resulting impairment will be determined as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value, where fair value is determined for the carrying amount of the specific asset groups based on discounted future cash flows or appraisal of the asset groups.
Investments
The Company holds investments in joint ventures, the majority of which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company does not exercise control over the joint ventures. The Company exercises control over one joint venture that is consolidated into the Company's financial statements. The share of earnings from the consolidated joint venture was $1 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s share of earnings from the non-consolidated joint ventures was $8, $7, and $3, during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The earnings are recorded within investment expense (income) and other, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The investment balances were $4 and $4 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are recorded within other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Pension and post-retirement obligations
The Company sponsors both funded and unfunded foreign defined benefit pension plans that cover a portion of the Company's employees. The Company accounts for its benefit plans in accordance with ASC 715, Compensation - Retirement Benefits, which requires balance sheet recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and post-retirement benefit plans. The amounts associated with these benefits are determined by actuaries and dependent on various actuarial assumptions including discount rates, expected return on plan assets, compensation increases, mortality and health care cost trends. Under this guidance, actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits, and any remaining transition assets or obligations that have not been recognized under previous accounting standards must be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions at each measurement date and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends, if appropriate.
During 2023, an annuity purchase transaction, commonly known as a “buy-in,” was executed for the two pension plans in the United Kingdom. Under the terms of the insurance contracts, which were issued by a third-party insurance company with no affiliation to the Company, all pension obligations will be funded by the insurer’s annuity payments, but the plans still retain full legal responsibility to pay the benefits to plan participants using the insurance payments. The Company's
accounting policies related to pension and post-retirement obligations and the buy-in transaction are disclosed in Note 16 – "Pension."
In December 2024, the Company entered into a non-binding agreement in principle with the Trustees of the two pension plans in the United Kingdom to proceed with wind-up of the plans contingent on certain conditions. If all conditions are met, the Company expects to execute the final wind-up in late 2026.
Definite-lived intangibles
Intangibles consist of trade names and trademarks, customer relationships, and backlog intangibles. The intangibles are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from two to fifteen years for trade names and trademarks and customer relationships, and a period of six to thirty-six months for backlog.
Insurance liabilities Other accrued and other noncurrent liabilities include management’s best estimates of amounts expected to be incurred for health insurance claims, workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability losses. A portion of this risk is retained on a self-insured basis through Sprocket, the Company's wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary. The estimates are based on claim reports provided by the insurance carrier, management’s best estimates, and the maximum premium for a policy period. The amounts the Company will ultimately incur could differ in the near-term from the estimated amounts accrued.
Share-based compensation
The Company recognizes share-based compensation over the requisite service period of the awards (usually the vesting period) based on the grant date fair value of awards. An offsetting increase to shareholders’ equity is recorded equal to the amount of the compensation expense charge. For restricted stock grants with performance-based milestones, the expense is valued based on the closing market share price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and recorded over the service period after the achievement of the milestone is probable or the performance condition is achieved. For restricted stock grants with market-based performance milestones, the grant-date fair value is estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. Forfeitures are estimated and recorded using historical forfeiture rates.
The Company has an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) under which shares of the Company’s common stock are available for purchase by eligible participants. The plan allows participants to purchase APi Group common stock at 85% of its fair market value at the lower of (i) the date of commencement of the offering period or (ii) the last day of the exercise period, as defined in the plan documents. The fair value of purchases under the Company’s ESPP is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The determination of fair value of stock-based awards using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions pertaining to several variables, including expected stock price volatility, the expected term of the award and the risk-free rate of interest. In the option-pricing model for the Company’s ESPP, expected stock price volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of the award is based on historical and expected exercise patterns and the risk-free rate of interest is based on U.S. Treasury yields.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company has determined that its Series A Preferred Stock and, prior to its extinguishment, Series B Preferred Stock were participating securities as the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock participated in dividends with common stock according to a predetermined formula. Accordingly, the Company used the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share for common stock according to participation rights of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. Under this method, net income applicable to holders of common stock is first reduced by the amount of dividends declared on Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock in the current period with remaining
undistributed earnings allocated on a pro rata basis to the holders of common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and Series B Preferred Stock to the extent that each class may share income for the period; whereas undistributed net loss is allocated to common stock because holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock are not contractually obligated to share the loss.
Income taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits and delinquent payments in income tax expense.
Accounting standards issued and adopted
In August 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-05, Business Combinations— Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which requires that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. As a result, a newly formed joint venture would initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2024 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, which incorporates certain SEC disclosure requirements into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This update will improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of topics and align the requirements in the FASB codification with the SEC’s regulations. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2024 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU expands segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU as of December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 22 – "Segment Information" for details.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires the Company to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules on the enhancement and standardization of climate-related disclosures, which requires disclosure of material climate-related risks, material Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, and other
matters. As it pertains to the financial statements, subject to certain materiality thresholds, the final rules require the financial statement footnotes to include certain disclosures regarding the amounts of expenses (or capitalized costs) incurred that relate to severe weather events and other natural conditions, as well as other disclosures regarding the material impact on financial estimates and assumptions of severe weather events and other natural conditions or disclosed targets or transition plans, and amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits. The disclosures will be required at the earliest in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, subject to legal challenges and the SEC's voluntary stay of the disclosure requirements. The Company will continue to assess the impact of the new rule on its consolidated financial statements while the stay is in place.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The ASU also requires disclosure of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures but does not expect the impact to be material.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20), which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for all entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures but does not expect the impact to be material.
Business combinations The Company regularly evaluates potential acquisitions that strategically fit with the Company’s existing portfolio or expand the Company’s portfolio into a new and attractive business area. Acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. As such, the Company makes a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In the months after closing, as the Company obtains additional information about the acquired assets and liabilities and learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Purchase price is allocated to acquired assets and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values, with limited exceptions as permitted pursuant to GAAP, as determined based on estimates and assumptions deemed reasonable by the Company. The Company engages third-party valuation specialists to assist with preparation of critical assumptions and calculations of the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets in connection with significant acquisitions. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired businesses, the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses bring to existing operations, and the opportunities in new markets expected to be achieved from the expanded platform
Contracts with customers, variable consideration, contract assets and liabilities, and costs to obtain or fulfill a contract
Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when or as control of promised goods and services is transferred to customers, and the amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods and services transferred. Net revenues are primarily recognized by the Company over time utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress. Net revenues recognized at a point in time primarily relate to distribution contracts and short-term time and materials contracts.
Contracts with customers
The Company derives net revenues primarily from contracts with a duration of less than one week to three years (with the majority of contracts with durations of less than six months) which are subject to multiple pricing options, including fixed
price, unit price, time and material, or cost plus a markup. The Company also enters into fixed price service contracts related to monitoring, maintenance, and inspection of safety systems. The Company may utilize subcontractors in the fulfillment of its performance obligations. When doing so, the Company is considered the principal in these transactions and revenues are recognized on a gross basis.
Net revenues for fixed price agreements are generally recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method of accounting, which measures progress based on the cost incurred relative to total expected cost in satisfying its performance obligation. The cost-to-cost method is used as it best depicts the continuous transfer of control of goods or services to the customer. Costs incurred include direct materials, labor and subcontract costs, and indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs, and depreciation costs. These contract costs are included in the results of operations under cost of revenues. Labor and subcontractor labor costs are considered to be incurred and recognized as the work is performed.
Net revenues from time and material contracts are recognized as the services are provided and is equal to the sum of the contract costs incurred plus an agreed upon markup. Net revenues earned from distribution contracts are recognized upon shipment or performance of the service.
The cost estimation process for recognizing net revenues over time under the cost-to-cost method is based on the professional knowledge and experience of the Company’s project managers, engineers, and finance professionals. Management reviews estimates of total contract transaction price and total project costs on an ongoing basis. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and management’s assessment of expected variable consideration are factors that influence estimates of the total contract transaction price, total costs to complete those contracts, and the Company’s profit recognition. Changes in these factors could result in cumulative revisions to net revenues in the period in which the revisions are determined, which could materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations for that period. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recorded in the period in which such estimated losses are determined.
The Company’s contracts with its customers generally require significant services to integrate complex activities and equipment into a single deliverable and are, therefore, generally accounted for as a single performance obligation to provide a single contracted service for the duration of the project. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the transaction price of a contract is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as net revenues when or as the performance obligation is satisfied using the estimated stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service. The stand-alone selling price is estimated using the expected cost plus a margin approach for each performance obligation. For in-process contracts, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations at December 31, 2024 was $3,040. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 87% of the remaining performance obligations over the next twelve months.
When more than one contract is entered into with a customer on or close to the same date, management evaluates whether those contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract as well as whether those contracts should be accounted for as one, or more than one, performance obligation. This evaluation requires significant judgment and is based on the facts and circumstances of the various contracts.
Contracts are often modified through change orders to account for changes in the scope and price of the goods or services being provided. Although the Company evaluates each change order to determine whether such modification creates a separate performance obligation, the majority of change orders are for goods or services that are not distinct within the
context of the original contract and, therefore, not treated as a separate performance obligation but rather as a modification of the existing contract and performance obligation.
Variable consideration
Transaction prices for customer contracts may include variable consideration, which comprises items such as early completion bonuses and liquidated damages provisions. Management estimates variable consideration for a performance obligation utilizing estimation methods believed to best predict the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable, in the Company’s judgment, that a significant future reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized under the contract will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Changes in the estimates of transaction prices are recognized in net revenues on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions to the estimates are made. Such changes in estimates may also result in the reversal of previously recognized net revenues if the ultimate outcome differs from the Company’s previous estimate. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, there were no significant reversals of revenues recognized associated with the revision of transaction prices. The Company typically does not incur any returns, refunds, or similar obligations after the completion of the performance obligation since any deficiencies are corrected during the course of performance.
Contract assets and liabilities
The Company typically invoices customers with payment terms of net due in 30 days. It is also common for contracts in the Company's industries to specify a general contractor is not required to submit payments to a subcontractor until it has received those funds from the owner or funding source. In most instances, the Company receives payment of invoices between 30 to 90 days of the date of the invoice.
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. Contract assets include unbilled amounts from the Company’s projects when revenues are recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress and exceeds the amounts invoiced to the Company’s customers, as the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of the Company's contracts. In addition, many of the Company’s time and material arrangements are billed in arrears pursuant to contract terms, resulting in the Company recording contract assets as net revenues are recognized in advance of billings.
Contract liabilities from the Company’s contracts arise when amounts invoiced to the Company’s customers exceed net revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost measure of progress. Contract liabilities also include advance payments from the Company’s customers on certain contracts. Contract liabilities decrease as the Company recognizes net revenues from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation.
The Company utilizes the practical expedient under ASC 606 and does not adjust for a significant financing component if the time between payment and the transfer of the related good or service is expected to be one year or less. The Company’s revenue arrangements are typically accounted for under such expedient as payments are within one year of performance for the Company’s services. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, none of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component.
Costs to obtain or fulfill a contract
The Company generally does not incur significant incremental costs related to obtaining or fulfilling a contract prior to the start of a project. The Company may incur certain fulfillment costs such as initial design or mobilization costs which are capitalized if: (i) they relate directly to the contract, (ii) are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy the Company’s performance obligation under the contract, and (iii) are expected to be recovered through revenues generated under the contract. Such costs, which are amortized over the life of the respective project, were not material for any period presented.
Right-of-use assets and liabilities
The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms of twelve months or less. For all other leases, the Company recognizes right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date of the lease (or January 1, 2019 for leases existing upon the adoption of ASC 842). The ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and lease payments made at or before the commencement date and are reduced by lease incentives.
When material leases are acquired in business combinations, the Company is required to measure the acquired lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining lease payments as if the acquired leases were new leases. A reassessment of the lease term, lessee options to purchase an underlying asset, lease payments, and discount rates is performed as of the date of acquisition. The ROU assets are then remeasured at the amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any off-market terms present in the acquired leases.
The Company’s future lease payments may include payments that depend on an index or a rate (such as the consumer price index). The Company initially measures payments based on an index or rate using the applicable rate at lease commencement, and subsequent changes in such rates are recognized as variable lease costs in the period incurred. Some leases contain variable payments that are not based on an index or rate and therefore are not included in the initial measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities. These variable payments typically represent additional services transferred to the Company, such as common area maintenance for real estate, and maintenance or service programs for vehicles, and are recorded in lease expense in the period incurred. For leases that include residual value guarantees or payments for terminating the lease, the Company includes these costs in the lease liability when it is probable they will be incurred.

The following table sets forth the computation of earnings per common share using the two-class method. The dilutive effect of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock dividend, and the Series B Preferred Stock dividend is reflected in diluted EPS using the if-converted method and options, RSUs, PSUs and MSUs are reflected using the treasury stock method. For periods of net loss, basic and diluted EPS are the same, as the
