  33. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    Philosophy and Objectives Centuri’s executive compensation program is designed to support the Company’s short- and long‑term strategies, reinforce a performance‑driven culture, and align the interests of executives with stockholders. The program is structured to be market‑competitive, performance‑based, and governed by strong compensation and governance practices. The Compensation Committee has structured Centuri’s executive compensation program covering NEOs to include the following key governance and design practices: •Attract, retain, and motivate high-caliber leadership by delivering competitive and sound total rewards that reflect market benchmarking and internal equity. •Provide a balanced mix of pay components and incentives through a well‑balanced compensation program that integrates cash and equity elements and incorporates both annual and long‑term incentives to reinforce sustained performance and stockholder alignment. •Align pay with performance by emphasizing financial, operational, and strategic objectives and results through annual and long-term incentives. A significant portion of our NEOs’ total compensation is tied to the achievement of business objectives and creation of long-term stockholder value. This ensures NEO pay is aligned with business and share performance. While we emphasize “at- risk” pay tied to performance, we have designed the executive compensation program so that it does not encourage excessive risk-taking by management. •Promote long-term value creation and financial discipline, supported by a shift toward value-driving long-term incentive plan metrics such as return on net assets (“RONA”) and free cash flow to strengthen operational efficiency and sustainable growth. •Limited perquisites provided to NEOs and only to the extent they are reasonable and consistent with our compensation objectives of attracting and retaining superior executives for key positions.

  34. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    Role of the Compensation Committee The Compensation Committee oversees our executive compensation program and is responsible for reviewing and approving all executive compensation and benefit plans of the Company’s executive officers, including its NEOs. The Compensation Committee works closely with its independent compensation consultant and meets regularly throughout the year to review and discuss our compensation philosophy, compensation governance, composition of our peer group, incentive plan design and related corporate goals and objectives. In addition, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves the CEO’s target compensation (and each component of compensation) taking into account the CEO’s performance in relation to corporate goals and objectives, individual performance and peer group practices. Based on the recommendations provided by the CEO, the

  35. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    We operate in a competitive environment for talented executives; therefore, the Compensation Committee analyzes a variety of information as it seeks to identify competitive levels of compensation within the relevant markets in which we operate. Peer Group The companies in the compensation peer group for our NEOs were selected because they represent those publicly-traded companies considered by the Compensation Committee to be the most comparable to the Company in terms of revenue, market capitalization, business operations, operational complexity and overall financial performance. To maintain a meaningful comparison, the Compensation Committee reviews the peer group regularly for changes due to M&A activity or shifts in our peers’ business focus or operations. For setting 2025 executive compensation, the peer group was composed of the following 15 companies in the Construction and Engineering Services industries and other related industry classifications. The 2025 peer group consisted of:

  36. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    addition of Everus Construction Group, Inc. These changes were made to better align the peer group to the Company’s business operations following Everus Construction Group’s spinoff from MDU Resources. Compensation Review The Compensation Committee conducts a comprehensive annual review of compensation for each NEO to ensure pay levels remain aligned with Centuri’s compensation philosophy, market competitiveness, and performance expectations. This review incorporates independent benchmarking provided by Meridian. The competitive compensation benchmarking data included analyses of base salary, annual incentive targets and values, long-term incentive values, and total direct compensation, as disclosed in the proxy statements filed by companies in the 2025 peer group. Management and Meridian supply market data, internal equity considerations, and role‑specific details to inform the Compensation Committee’s evaluation. The Compensation Committee also assesses individual performance, changes in leadership scope, retention risks, and long‑term succession planning needs. Where compensation levels differ materially from market or where leadership scope has evolved, the Compensation Committee may adjust specific pay elements—such as salary, mix of long-term incentives, or short-term incentive targets—to maintain appropriate alignment. Recommendations for adjustments are reviewed in coordination with the CEO for all NEOs other than the CEO and incorporate Compensation Committee feedback prior to approval. In connection therewith, Meridian also reviews each NEO’s target total direct compensation and each element of compensation against the 50th percentile of the applicable peer group. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee determines whether each NEO’s target total direct compensation warrants adjustments to generally align with the relevant market benchmarks. Following the review, it was determined that Messrs. Izenstark, Connell and Wilcock required increases to more closely align with competitive market benchmarks in 2025.

  38. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    Base Salaries Salaries for the NEOs are established based on the scope of their responsibilities, taking into account competitive market compensation paid by the peer group for similar positions. The competitive market processes and data regarding the 50th percentile pay level of peer companies were used by the Compensation Committee to help ensure that salaries are reasonable, competitive and properly address position responsibilities. The market data on the range of salaries at the peer companies serves as a reference point and provides information on the range of competitive pay levels and current compensation practices in our industry. Salaries are reviewed annually and are subject to adjustment to maintain alignment with the market and to reflect changes in individual responsibilities, performance, and experience. In 2025, the Compensation Committee approved merit increases for our NEOs to reflect performance achievements, and to ensure market competitiveness to the new market from Centuri being spun off and becoming a standalone public company. The following table shows our NEOs’ 2024 annual base salaries, 2025 annual base salaries and the percentages of their base salary increases in 2025, if any:

Annual Incentive Compensation Our NEOs had the opportunity to earn annual cash incentive awards tied to the achievement of financial and safety metrics which support our business strategy and enhance our value. The Compensation Committee established target incentive opportunities, expressed as a percentage of each NEO’s base salary, primarily based on the competitive compensation

    Annual Incentive Compensation 2025 Performance Metrics. For our 2025 annual incentive opportunity, the Compensation Committee adopted three financial performance metrics (Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and growth backlog) and two safety goals (Days Away From Work, Restricted or Transferred (“DART”) and Total Recordable Incident Rate (“TRIR”)). The selected performance metrics remain unchanged from 2024, except for the addition of growth backlog. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. For purposes of 2025 compensation, Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments for $9 million of certain non-recurring or non-operational expenses including Separation-related costs, other professional fees and acquisition costs (net of current year contributions from Connect Atlantic Utility Services Corporation (“Connect”), a Canadian company we acquired on November 18, 2025). Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of our 2025 compensation differs from the Adjusted EBITDA presented in our other filings with the SEC in two aspects: (i) stock-based compensation is not added back for compensation purposes, and (ii) contribution from Connect is excluded in the Adjusted EBITDA for compensation purposes but not otherwise. For NEOs, no awards are paid unless at least 50% of target Adjusted EBITDA is achieved, and all other metric achievements are capped at target if Adjusted EBITDA achievement is below 80% of target. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as cash flow from operations minus net capital expenditures (including amounts not yet paid, but recognized in liabilities). For purposes of 2025 compensation, free cash flow was adjusted for certain non-recurring or non-operational expenses, including Separation-related costs, certain debt fees expensed as part of the Company’s refinancing of its existing credit facilities in July 2025, other professional fees, acquisition costs (net of current year contributions from Connect), and aged receivables related to a key customer whose significant business growth during the year slowed the processing and payment of our invoices. These adjustments totaled approximately $37 million in 2025. The Compensation Committee added growth backlog as a performance metric for our 2025 annual incentive program, which measures growth in the organization through expansion of new services for existing customers and engagement with new customers. The Compensation Committee also increased the weighting on Adjusted EBITDA to emphasize growth and profitability and to provide a comprehensive view of Company's financial metric conducive to growth goals. Both DART and TRIR were considered for 2025 compensation purposes as they measure incident frequency and workplace safety, and improvement from their respective fiscal 2024 levels was required in setting their respective performance goals.

    Calculation of Annual Incentive Awards. Actual awards for each measure are determined as of year-end results by comparing Centuri’s performance to the threshold, target, and maximum levels adopted by the Compensation Committee for each performance measure. When threshold performance for any measure is achieved, the portion of the award with respect to that measure is earned. Award payouts can range from 50% (at threshold) to 200% (at maximum) of the assigned target incentive opportunity for each measure, based on where actual results fall in the range from threshold to target or from target to maximum. We determine actual payouts through linear interpolation. The thresholds, targets and maximums and actual results under the performance measures for fiscal 2025 are set forth below:

  43. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    | Measure | Threshold(1) | Target(1) | Maximum(1) | Actual(1) | Weighting | Payout (% of target)(2) | | Adjusted EBITDA | $202.6 million | $253.3 million | $303.9 million | $237.5 million | 60% | 84.4% | | Free Cash Flow | $41.5 million | $51.9 million | $62.2 million | $79.5 million | 20% | 200.0% | | Growth Backlog | $292.0 million | $360.0 million | $437.0 million | $1,006.4 million | 10% | 200.0% | | Safety (DART) | 0.31 | 0.29 | 0.27 | 0.26 | 5% | 200.0% | | Safety (TRIR) | 1.00 | 0.89 | 0.86 | 0.76 | 5% | 200.0% | | Total | | | | | | 130.7% |

For Safety (TRIR) and Safety (DART), the amounts in this column are rounded to the hundredth decimal place. (2)Amounts in this column are rounded to the tenth decimal place. No annual incentive awards are paid to NEOs unless 50% of target Adjusted EBITDA is achieved on a consolidated basis and all other metric achievements are capped at target if Adjusted EBITDA achievement is below 80% of target. In fiscal 2025, Adjusted EBITDA exceeded 80% of target on a consolidated basis, and achievements under the other performance measures aggregated for a payout of 130.7% of the target incentive award opportunity. The Adjusted EBITDA results were calculated by removing $9 million in costs associated with Separation-related costs, other professional fees and acquisition costs (net of current year contributions from Connect) from EBITDA. The free cash flow results were adjusted to remove $17 million in costs associated with Separation-related costs, certain debt fees expensed as part of the credit facility refinancing, other professional fees, and acquisition costs (net of current year contributions from Connect). The free cash flow results were also adjusted $20 million for aged receivables related to a key customer whose significant business growth during the year slowed the processing and payment of our invoices. The aggregated percentage payout is multiplied by the total incentive opportunity (expressed above as a percentage of base salary) to determine the overall dollar value of the incentive award. Messrs. Brown, Izenstark and Wilcock each received an annual incentive award equal to 130.7% of his target annual incentive. Mr. Connell was not eligible for an award due to his resignation. Each NEO’s performance was measured on a consolidated basis. The following table details the actual payouts associated with the fiscal 2025 annual incentive awards for the NEOs:

In 2025, the Compensation Committee granted to each NEO a combination of 60% performance stock units (“PSU”s), which vest based on performance and continued employment, and 40% restricted stock units (“RSU”s), which vest ratably over three years based on continued employment. One-third of the PSUs are earned based on RONA and free cash flow during a one-year performance period that started on December 30, 2024 and ended on December 28, 2025. The remaining two-thirds of the PSUs are earned based on performance over a two-year performance period beginning on December 29, 2025 and ending on January 2, 2028. The goals for the two-

  47. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    year performance period were established by the Committee in early 2026. Any amount of the PSUs earned will vest at the end of the three-year period. Beginning with the 2026 award, the PSUs will include 3-year cumulative performance goals set at the beginning of the 3-year measurement period. In 2025, for the Company’s first annual equity grant cycle following its public listing, the Compensation Committee granted Messrs. Izenstark and Wilcock a one-time increase to their long-term incentive awards to help establish meaningful stock ownership, strengthen alignment with stockholders and promote retention. The increase was from 140% to 290% of base salary for Mr. Izenstark and 135% to 200% of base salary for Mr. Wilcock. The Compensation Committee set each NEO’s long-term incentive opportunity generally at the median of the peer group. The table below shows each NEO’s 2025 long-term incentive opportunity granted as RSUs and PSUs. The values in the table below differ from the values included for such awards in the “2025 Summary Compensation Table” and the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards (2025)” table because the aggregate grant date fair values of the awards included in those tables are computed in accordance with stock-based accounting rules. As a result, performance shares will be included in the tables over multiple years when the performance period goals are set for each year, and the restricted share unit values included in the tables for 2025 vary slightly from the accounting values.

  49. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    One-third of the 2025 PSUs were eligible to be earned based on achievement against RONA and free cash flow performance goals over the one-year performance cycle ended on December 28, 2025. The Compensation Committee selected RONA and free cash flow as the performance metrics for the 2025 PSUs as these metrics drive key behaviors around operational efficiency, profitability and long-term sustainability. By shifting the focus to profitability with the use of RONA from a focus on revenue generation, key behaviors related to asset optimization, cost management and capital investment decision making are rewarded, which leads to an improved bottom line relative to asset investments. Optimizing the use of assets leads to better management and efficient use of equipment, while cost management drives a focus on controlling spend, as reducing expenses can significantly improve the return on assets. Improving decisions on capital investments prompts business leaders to prioritize projects that enhance asset efficiency to generate higher returns. RONA encourages long-term strategic planning, aligning investment decisions with sustainable value creation. The Compensation Committee adopted a one-year performance period followed by a two-year performance period due to various factors influencing the longer-term performance of the Company, including timing of ownership changes and overall transition to a standalone public company. The Compensation Committee established threshold, target, and maximum performance levels for the metrics. The target performance level was based on the Company’s business plan and budgets, taking into account factors such as budgeted capital expenditures, expected growth within the markets that the Company serves, competitive factors from other service providers and other business considerations embedded in the Company’s annual business planning process. Actual amounts earned can range from 50% to 200% of the target opportunity based on the level of achievement of the goals for both metrics. No amount is earned if threshold performance is not achieved. Linear interpolation is used to compute the amount earned if the performance is between two designated levels. The 2025 RSUs will vest in equal installments over three years, with one-third vesting on February 25 of each of 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively. Any 2025 PSUs earned by the end of the three-year total performance period will vest on February 25, 2028 or the day when the Compensation Committee certifies the performance results of the performance period, whichever is later.

    (1)For Free Cash Flow, the amounts in this column are rounded to the tenth decimal place. For Return on Net Assets, the amounts in this column are rounded to the hundredth decimal place. (2)Amounts in this column are rounded to the tenth decimal place. Return on Net Assets, or RONA, is defined as adjusted pre-tax income divided by property and equipment, plus net working capital (net working capital excludes cash, current portion of long-term debt, and tax related balances and was adjusted to remove aged receivables related to a key customer whose significant business growth during the year slowed the processing of and payment of our invoices). Pre-tax income was adjusted for Separation-related costs, loss on debt modification and extinguishment of the credit facility, other professional fees, and acquisition costs (net of current year contributions from Connect). These adjustments were approximately $18 million. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations minus net capital expenditures (including amounts not yet paid, but recognized in liabilities). Free cash flow was adjusted for certain non-recurring or non-operational expenses including Separation-related costs, certain debt fees expensed as part of the credit facility refinancing, other professional fees, acquisition costs (net of current year contributions from Connect), and aged receivables related to a key customer whose significant business growth during the year slowed the processing and payment of our invoices. These adjustments were approximately $37 million in 2025. 2023-2024 Long-Term Incentive Compensation In fiscal 2023, Messrs. Connell and Wilcock received RSU grants relating to Southwest Gas Holdings common shares (“Southwest RSUs”) and PSU grants relating to Southwest Gas Holdings common shares (“Southwest PSUs”), and Mr. Izenstark received a time-based long-term cash award and a special time-based RSU grant relating to Southwest Gas Holdings common shares. In fiscal 2024, Messrs. Izenstark, Connell and Wilcock received a performance-based long-term cash award with a one-year performance period (the “2024 Cash Award”) and a special time-based RSU grant in connection with the successful initial public offering of the Company, Mr. Brown received a time-based RSU grant in connection with his hiring relating to shares of Common Stock, and Mr. Connell received a special retention time-based RSU grant relating to shares of Common Stock. Regarding the 2024 Cash Award, the Company did not achieve threshold performance over the one-year performance period ended on December 31, 2024, and no cash awards were earned at the conclusion of that performance cycle as a result. See “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End 2025” and “Stock Vested During 2025” for additional information on shares granted in prior years. Perquisites In addition to base salary and performance‑based incentive opportunities, each NEO receives a limited set of perquisites and benefits designed to support market competitiveness and align with Centuri’s compensation philosophy. The Company maintains a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that allows the NEOs and other eligible participants to voluntarily defer eligible compensation, providing an additional mechanism for long‑term financial planning. These supplemental programs are intentionally limited in scope, regularly benchmarked against peer practices, and reviewed by the Compensation Committee to ensure they remain reasonable, are aligned with governance expectations, and support Centuri’s objective to attract and retain highly qualified executive leadership. The Company provides certain perquisites to each NEO, which the Compensation Committee believes are reasonable and consistent with the objective of attracting, retaining, and motivating high-performing senior leaders. The NEOs are eligible to receive company paid annual physical examinations and life insurance, and reimbursement annually for financial planning, estate planning and tax preparation. Any social club memberships and car allowances were phased out in 2025. Retirement Benefits The Company maintains two plans which provide retirement benefits for the NEOs: a 401(k) plan and a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “EDCP”).

  52. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

    •Centuri 401(k) Plan. NEOs receive matching contributions from Centuri to their accounts in the Centuri 401(k) plan, consistent with all other employees participating in the plan. The Company matches 100% of pre-tax contributions up to the first 3% of base salary and 50% on the next 4% of base salary. All matching contributions are immediately vested subject to certain limits as determined by law. •EDCP. Under the EDCP, certain employees, including the NEOs, are permitted to voluntarily defer receipt of up to 80% of base salary and up to 80% of other cash compensation. Employer matching contributions under the EDCP are equal to the first 5% of the salary compensation deferred by the employee under the plan. Matching contributions vest immediately. Participants may allocate deferred cash amounts among (i) a group of notional accounts that mirror the gains and/or losses of various investment alternatives that do not provide for above-market or preferential earnings, and (ii) an account with returns based on Centuri’s financial performance (the “LTCIP Fund”). Each NEO was required to invest at least 25% of their annual incentive compensation in the LTCIP Fund until the NEO met the established investment requirement – two times base salary for Centuri’s Chief Executive Officer and one times base salary for the other NEOs. LTCIP Fund investments grow or depreciate based on Centuri’s company growth rate. The maximum annual loss of the LTCIP Fund is negative 5% and the maximum annual gain is 20%. The LTCIP Fund was phased out in 2024 and funds were subsequently transferred to a money market account. Executive Agreements Centuri has entered into an employment agreement with each of the NEOs (collectively, the “Employment Agreements”). The terms of the Employment Agreements, other than compensation and severance levels, are substantially consistent with one another. The Employment Agreements provide for specified levels of severance payments and benefits upon certain employment termination events both in the absence of and following certain change in control events. The Employment Agreements also contain non-competition, non-solicitation and other restrictive covenants. In approving the Employment Agreements, Centuri considered the aggregate potential obligations under the agreements, as well as the benefits of securing non-competition, non-solicitation and other restrictive covenants included in the agreements. The Employment Agreements do not contain excise tax gross-up provisions and, instead, employ a “best net” approach under which payments and benefits are either reduced to avoid the excise tax on excess parachute payments or not reduced, in which case the executive is responsible for any excise tax, depending on which approach would result in the greatest after-tax amount being retained. See the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” section below for a more detailed discussion of the severance payments and benefits provided under the Employment Agreements.

    Stock options have not been a part of our executive compensation program. We therefore (i) do not grant, and have not granted, stock options in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information, (ii) do not time, and have not timed, the release of material nonpublic information based on stock option grant dates or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation and, (iii) do not take, and have not taken, material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of stock options. As stock options are not an element of employee compensation, we do not have a formal policy with respect to the timing of stock option grants, and we did not grant stock options or stock appreciation rights in 2025.
