Item 1. Business
Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Thornton, Colorado. We refer to Concrete Pumping Holdings, Inc. as the "Company," "CPH,", "us", "we" or "our" in this Annual Report, and these designations include our subsidiaries unless we state otherwise.
Our principal executive offices are located at 500 E. 84th Ave., Suite A-5, Thornton, Colorado, 80229. We maintain a website at https://www.concretepumpingholdings.com/. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, our website is not part of, and is not incorporated into, this Annual Report.
Overview
CPH is a leading provider of concrete pumping services and concrete waste management services in the United States ("U.S.") and the United Kingdom ("U.K.") based on fleet size, primarily operating under what we believe are the only established, national concrete pumping brands in both geographies – Brundage-Bone Concrete Pumping, Inc. ("Brundage-Bone") for concrete pumping in the U.S., Camfaud Group Limited ("Camfaud") in the U.K., and Eco-Pan, Inc. ("Eco-Pan") for waste management services in both the U.S. and U.K. The Brundage-Bone business was founded in 1983 in Denver, Colorado. Since then, the Company has expanded across the U.S. and U.K. through more than 70 strategic acquisitions. Eco-Pan was founded in 1999 and was acquired by CPH in 2014.
Concrete pumping is a highly specialized method of concrete placement that requires skilled operators to position a truck-mounted, fully-articulating boom for precise delivery of ready-mix concrete from mixer trucks to placing crews on a construction job site. In addition, given the rising awareness of environmental factors, proper concrete washout handling is an important area of focus for our Company. We believe that our large fleet of specialized pumping equipment, washout pans and trucks, and highly-trained operators enable us to be the trusted provider of concrete placement and concrete waste management solutions to our customers. We deliver and facilitate substantial labor cost savings, shortened concrete placement times, enhanced worksite safety, and efficient concrete washout containment, and thereby help improve the overall quality of construction projects. As of October 31, 2025, we operated a fleet of approximately 1,520 units of equipment, with approximately 1,530 employees and approximately 150 locations globally.

With over 40 years of experience, we believe we are the only nationally-scaled provider of concrete pumping services in the U.S. and the U.K., with the most comprehensive and reliable fleet and highly-skilled operators to provide quality service. We are especially equipped to support large and technically complex construction projects, which generally command higher price points than smaller projects. In addition, we have actively focused our business on commercial and infrastructure construction projects, while continuing to pursue profitable residential opportunities. Our fleet is capable of handling multiple large projects concurrently and can be deployed on short-notice across the U.S. and the U.K., thereby allowing us to efficiently allocate resources depending on market conditions to more profitable markets. Our complementary Eco-Pan business provides concrete washout services to customers. We plan to continue establishing additional Eco-Pan locations across the U.S. and the U.K., and further penetrate our existing concrete pumping customer base by cross-selling our Eco-Pan services.
As of October 31, 2025, we estimate our share of the concrete pumping market to be approximately 17% in the U.S. and approximately 30% in the U.K., based on fleet size. In the U.S. and U.K. markets, we serve a large and diverse customer base and as of October 31, 2025, our top ten customers represented less than 10% of our total revenue and had an average tenure of more than 25 years.

Segments
We operate through the following reportable segments:
U.S. Concrete Pumping: Our U.S. concrete pumping services segment represented 66% of our total revenue for the year ended October 31, 2025, and services from this segment are primarily provided under our Brundage-Bone brand, which as of October 31, 2025, operated a total fleet of approximately 1,000 equipment units from a diversified footprint of approximately 95 locations across 23 states. We provide operated concrete pumping services, for which customers are billed on a negotiated time and volume basis based on the duration of the job and yards of concrete pumped. Additional charges (such as a fuel surcharge and travel costs) are frequently added based on specific project requirements. Typically, we send a single operator with each concrete pump. We do not take ownership of the concrete and thus have minimal inventory or product liability risk. We typically do not engage in fixed-bid work or have surety bonding requirements and operate a daily fee-based revenue model regardless of overall construction project completion.
U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services: Our U.S. concrete waste management services segment represented 19% of our total revenue for the year ended October 31, 2025. Operating under our Eco-Pan brand, with approximately 150 trucks and over 12,000 custom metal pans or containers for construction sites from 22 locations in the U.S. as of October 31, 2025, we are a leading provider of concrete waste management services in the U.S, providing a full-service, route-based, cost-effective, regulation-compliant solution to manage environmental issues caused by concrete washout. We charge a fixed fee that includes (1) the round-trip delivery and pickup of watertight pans / containers, (2) environmental disposal of concrete washout and (3) a specified number of days the pans / containers can be used for. This provides a turnkey solution to the customer compared to the alternatives of bagging the waste concrete, pouring it into an on-site lined pit, or disposing of it into trash dumpsters and arranging for a pick-up. To the extent that the pans or containers are held at the job site for an extended number of days or irregular waste is found in the pan, we charge incremental fees. Our trucks are designed to allow for the pick-up and re-delivery of multiple pans, leading to significant incremental efficiencies as route densities increase.
U.K. Operations: Our U.K. operations segment represented 15% of our total revenue for the year ended October 31, 2025, and consisted of concrete pumping and concrete waste management services. Our concrete pumping services are primarily provided through either our Camfaud brand (operated pumping services) or our Premier Concrete Pumping brand (rental of pumping equipment without an operator). Mobile equipment is charged to customers under a minimum hire rate, which is typically five to eight hours. Our concrete pumping business in the U.K. is comprised of a fleet of approximately 370 equipment units that are serviced from approximately 35 locations as of October 31, 2025. In addition, the results of our concrete waste management operations under our Eco-Pan brand name in the U.K. are included in this segment. Our Eco-Pan business in the U.K. is operated from a shared Camfaud location as of October 31, 2025. We bill our customers for our Eco-Pan services in the same manner as our U.S. Eco-Pan services.
Competitive Environment
The concrete pumping industry is highly fragmented in both the U.S. and the U.K. In the U.S., we believe there are approximately 1,000 industry participants, the majority of which operate with an average of five to ten pumps each. A limited number have a multi-regional presence (average of 50-60 pumps) and no other companies have a national presence. We believe many industry participants are undercapitalized, utilize aged equipment and operate only smaller and significantly fewer boom pumps. In a typical geographic market, we generally compete with only one or two other concrete pumping companies that can perform the larger and more complex projects that we typically target.
In the concrete waste management industry, we compete with local operators who may have a small number of washout pans but are not capable of offering services across the U.S. We believe we are the only operator of scale with a national footprint in this industry and estimate that there is only one competitor on a national level. While the technology underlying the washout pans is less sophisticated than that for a concrete pump, we believe having the capacity and route density that Eco-Pan has achieved is a differentiator in terms of profitability. Our U.K. operations segment is the pioneer of the concrete waste management service in the U.K. and as such, we are not aware of any equivalent competitor in the U.K.

Equipment
Our fleet is operated by approximately 880 experienced employees as of October 31, 2025, each of whom is required to complete rigorous training and safety programs. In addition, we have approximately 130 skilled mechanics who perform in-house equipment servicing. As of October 31, 2025, we owned 100% of our fleet consisting of approximately 850 boom pumps, ranging in size from 20 to 66 meters, 90 placing booms, 25 telebelts, 405 stationary pumps and other units of equipment, and 150 concrete waste management trucks. As of October 31, 2025, the average age of our fleet was approximately 8 years old and most of our equipment had useful lives of 10 to 25 years.
Customers
We serve a base of more than 16,000 customers (often with several projects per customer) across the U.S. and the U.K. and have an approximate 90% customer retention rate based on our top 500 customers and an approximate 100% customer retention rate of our top 100 customers as of October 31, 2025. In addition, as of October 31, 2025, our top ten customers represented less than 10% of our total revenue and had an average tenure of more than 25 years. Our customer composition is largely dependent on geographic location and general economic and construction market trends within individual operating markets. We actively monitor regional trends and target customers in fast-growing markets through our extensive geographic footprint and knowledge of the local construction markets in each region in which we operate.
Our customer base consists of general contractors or concrete contractors that span across the commercial, infrastructure and residential end markets. We also sell replacement parts to regional operators that lack the capital and scale to independently maintain a sufficiently stocked replacement parts inventory. Our contractual arrangements with customers are typically on a project-to-project purchase order basis.
Suppliers
We primarily purchase pumping equipment, replacement parts, and fuel for our day-to-day operations. Concrete pumping equipment is primarily sourced from three suppliers – Schwing, Putzmeister, and Alliance. There are a number of other suppliers and we are not solely dependent upon any single equipment provider. We believe we are the concrete pumping industry’s largest consumer of concrete pumping supplies and, as such, have significant purchasing efficiencies. We typically purchase fuel in bulk at favorable prices and primarily utilize onsite fuel storage facilities.
Employees
As of October 31, 2025, we had approximately 1,530 employees across the U.S. and the U.K., of which approximately 1,010 are highly-skilled equipment operators and mechanics, approximately 200 are managers, approximately 40 are in sales, and approximately 60 are dispatchers. The remaining employees include administrative support, corporate functions, and laborers. Our pump operators have an average tenure of approximately five years. Additionally, our regional managers have, on average, approximately 30 years of experience in the concrete pumping industry. We maintain a highly sophisticated, industry recognized training program, which ensures all operators can meet the requirements of any project. Pumping operators are trained in concrete pumping, concrete waste management operators are trained in the delivery and pick up of pans and containers and all operators are trained in basic mechanical repair, while shop managers are trained in inspection and maintenance of all critical truck systems.
Approximately 100 employees in CPH’s workforce are unionized across California, Oregon and Washington. These individuals are represented by the International Union of Operating Engineers ("IUOE") under three separate collective bargaining agreements. We have historically maintained favorable relations with the IUOE and have not experienced any significant disputes, disagreements, strikes or work stoppages.
Safety
We maintain an active safety program, including an in-house corporate safety department and a designated safety trainer at each branch. As part of our safety management program, we track key safety performance indicators at each branch location to monitor safety performance and seek to implement corrective actions when needed. Over the last two years, our total recordable incident rate has remained at or below industry averages.
