Insights

The announcement of Everus Construction Group's upcoming spinoff from MDU Resources is a significant development for investors. The planned 4:1 stock distribution ratio and tax-free status of the spinoff are particularly noteworthy. This structure allows current MDU shareholders to maintain their existing positions while gaining exposure to a new, focused entity.

The spinoff could unlock value by allowing each company to operate more efficiently and attract investors interested in their specific business models. However, investors should be cautious about potential short-term volatility as the market adjusts to the new corporate structures. The upcoming Investor Day on October 17 will be important for understanding Everus' standalone prospects and financial outlook.

The spinoff of Everus Construction Group represents a strategic shift in MDU Resources' business focus. By becoming a pure-play regulated energy delivery business, MDU is aligning itself with current market trends favoring specialized, focused entities. This move could potentially lead to improved valuations for both companies.

The construction services sector, represented by Everus, may benefit from increased infrastructure spending and economic recovery initiatives. Investors should closely monitor industry trends and government policies that could impact Everus' growth prospects. The choice of ticker symbol 'ECG' is clever, potentially aiding brand recognition in the market.

BISMARCK, N.D., Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MDU Resources Group, Inc. (NYSE: MDU) today announced the public filing of a Form 10 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that identifies "ECG" as the ticker symbol under which Everus Construction Group, the company's construction services subsidiary, expects to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. MDU Resources is on track to complete the planned spinoff of Everus into an independent, publicly traded company in late 2024.

In the planned spinoff, it is expected that MDU Resources' stockholders will retain their current shares of MDU stock and receive a pro rata distribution of 100% of outstanding shares of ECG. For every four shares of MDU stock, a stockholder is expected to receive one share of ECG stock. Fractional shares of ECG stock will not be distributed to MDU stockholders but will instead be sold on the open market, with net proceeds distributed pro rata in cash payments to MDU stockholders who would otherwise have received a fractional share of ECG stock. The separation is expected to be tax free to MDU Resources and its stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except for any cash received in lieu of fractional shares. The record date will be announced following approval by MDU Resources' board of directors.

Related to the anticipated spinoff, Everus will hold an Investor Day at 10 a.m. EDT Oct. 17 at the NYSE. Management's presentation of Everus' investment highlights, operations, financial performance and growth prospects, along with an in-person question-and-answer session, also will be webcast. More information about the event can be found at www.mdu.com/everus-construction-spinoff.

"This is an exciting time for MDU Resources as we work toward becoming a pure-play regulated energy delivery business, and for Everus as it prepares to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ECG," said Nicole A. Kivisto, president and CEO of MDU Resources. "When complete, the spinoff will provide stockholders with two distinct investment opportunities."

Everus President and CEO Jeffrey S. Thiede said, "We are excited to have secured ECG as our future ticker symbol, and we look forward to providing more information at our investor day about our operations and future outlook as an independent company."

The Form 10 registration statement for Everus is available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov and on MDU Resources' website at investor.mdu.com/financials/sec-filings. Everus expects to update the registration statement in subsequent amendments as information is finalized prior to the spinoff. These Form 10 amendments will be available on the SEC and MDU Resources websites.
