Knife River Corporation ("we", "our") is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect changes to the presentation of our notes to the consolidated financial statements as set forth in (i) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 21, 2025 (the “2024 10-K”), (ii) our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on May 7, 2024 (the “Q1 2024 10-Q”), (iii) our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC on August 6, 2024 (the “Q2 2024 10-Q”), and (iv) our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC on November 4, 2024 (the “Q3 2024 10-Q”), in order to give effect to a change in segment reporting.
As disclosed in our 2024 10-K, on January 1, 2025, we made a change to our organizational structure to better align with our business strategy. We reorganized our business segments to reflect changes in the way management evaluates performance, makes operating decisions and allocates resources. Our former Pacific and Northwest operating segments were combined to form the new West operating segment. Our former North Central and South operating segments were combined to form the new Central operating segment. The reorganization resulted in four operating segments: West, Mountain, Central and Energy Services, each of which is also a reportable segment. Each segment’s performance is evaluated based on segment results without allocating corporate expenses, which include corporate costs associated with accounting, legal, treasury, information technology, human resources, and other corporate expenses that support the operating segments.
To reflect the change in segment reporting, we have attached Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K to update the information in the Business Segment Data footnote in the 2024 10-K as well as previously reported amounts in the Business Segment Data footnotes for the quarters following December 31, 2023, as disclosed in our Q1 2024 10-Q, Q2 2024 10-Q, and Q3 2024 10-Q. Such information has been recast to conform with the new segments.
Except for the segment changes described above, this Current Report on Form 8-K does not modify or update disclosures as presented in our 2024 10-K or our Q1 2024 10-Q, Q2 2024 10-Q and Q3 2024 10-Q and does not reflect any changes, events or activities occurring after the applicable filing date. We have not otherwise updated for activities or events occurring after the applicable dates these items were originally presented. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the other information included in our 2024 10-K, Q1 2024 10-Q, Q2 2024 10-Q and Q3 2024 10-Q.
