CE N OUR CENTENNIAL We marked our Centennial by celebrating those who helped us achieve this milestone – our people, our clients, and our communities. Our reputation of building strong relationships, giving back, and putting employees first was on full display all year long. We kicked off the year by announcing our Community Impact initiative, “Building A Legacy: A Centur y of Generosity,” where employees nominated and voted for 10 nonprofit organizations to receive $100,000 grants, totaling $1 million in impact nationwide. Our Centennial campaign was an inspiring extension of our ongoing commitment to giving back, rounding out the $14.2 million our company contributed to community initiatives and organizations in 2024. Our “100 Years. 100 Stories” campaign highlighted community contributions, the Dunn family legacy, company histor y, collaborative culture, and noteworthy projects that fueled our success. Across our 26 offices, we commenced a year of celebrations by recognizing

our employees for their hard work, and hosting events to thank clients for their partnership and support over the years. To thank our employees for their dedication, ever yone received a commemorative 1924 hat and custom Centennial merchandise, proudly worn on jobsites and offices throughout the year. Founded in Kansas City, JE Dunn honored our hometown with a mural in downtown Kansas City of iconic landmarks, a highway billboard, a Centennial celebration at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, a sponsorship of the Parade of Hearts, a Centennial-themed heart representing our impact on the skyline, and a $40,000 donation to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum through JE Dunn and the Royals’ “Celebrate the Run” campaign. As we looked back on our past, we also celebrated where we are today and the exciting future we’re building together.

MISSION CRITICAL In the past five years, the industr y has witnessed an unprecedented surge in data center projects. This explosive growth is driven by the increasing demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and the ever-increasing reliance on technology. As companies and consumers alike depend on reliable digital infrastructure, the industr y has faced dual challenges: supply chain disruptions and labor shortages. To navigate these challenges effectively, the need for innovative solutions and refined processes has never been greater. Our Mission Critical team understands that the success of data center projects hinges on strong partnerships between all stakeholders. By fostering a culture of cooperation and innovation, we can overcome the challenges posed by supply chain disruptions and labor shortages. We’re expanding the use of prefabrication and PreBuild facilities; optimizing labor and automation to streamline workflows; adapting supply chain strategies; and enhancing resource management. Our approach combines proven construction concepts with creative innovations to maximize cost efficiency and certainty of outcome. In 2024 alone, we had over 720 megawatts and 3.4 million SF of data center space under construction in both primar y and emerging data center markets. As JE Dunn looks to the next 100 years, these projects will define the landscape of innovation, shaping the way we connect and communicate in an increasingly digital world.

A D VA N C E D INDUSTRIES The days of vacant car dealership lots and electronic supply shortages are behind us, presenting a new challenge for the semiconductor industr y: overstocking. However, manufacturers specializing in memor y chips are operating at maximum capacity to meet rising demands driven by artificial intelligence and increased data center capacity needs. Globally, companies are investing billions to address projected semiconductor demand in the coming years. In the U.S., major manufacturing facilities — known as “mega fabs” — are being built across the countr y, including in Arizona, Idaho, Ohio, and Texas, with New York set to join soon. The CHIPS and Science Act provides subsidies to semiconductor manufacturers, aiming to regain U.S. market share and strengthen the supply chain, which is crucial for national security. JE Dunn continues to be an industr y leader in construction of these state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. Our teams are proud to continue our support and partnership with these companies through our progressive build sustaining work programs as well as ground up projects for companies that support all aspects of the semiconductor supply chain and manufacturing process.

HEALTHCARE A lot can happen in one year in healthcare, let alone 100 years. As JE Dunn marks its Centennial, our healthcare professionals look for ward to continuing partnerships with our clients, helping them navigate strategic changes, and ensuring they are wellpositioned to ser ve their patients and communities for years to come. Ambitious speed to market objectives and skilled trade labor constraints across the countr y have elevated the importance of early stakeholder involvement, construction innovation, and more sophisticated planning to optimize outcomes for our clients. Increased demand for specialized facilities, such as behavioral health hospitals, cancer centers, academic medical centers, and post-acute facilities has prompted our teams to develop an equally specialized level of expertise and knowledge to understand the unique nuances of the industr y’s diverse segments. This year’s projects exemplified the intersection of strategically investing in the future – to improve care quality, support patient needs and preferences, leverage technology, and enhance the work environment for staff – with bespoke construction plans, and the right partners, leadership, and suite of ser vices to bring those visions to life.

C O R P O R AT E E N V I RO N M E N T S Corporations are investing more in their most valuable resource — their people. Many companies implemented return-to-office plans in 2024 aimed at growing revenue, strengthening company culture, and increasing employee productivity, in addition to attracting top talent. In Kansas City, we renovated Hallmark’s existing offices to provide an impactful first impression for clients and refresh working environments for associates. Shamrock Trading Corporation also unveiled its second tower — a newly constructed 12-stor y, 418,000 SF office building with a link to the first tower. Additionally, the project included several areas created to bring employees and clients together, such as a commercial kitchen with five restaurant stations and a dining area, gathering spaces for company events and presentations, an additional 30,000 SF amenity deck with firepits, a fireplace, heaters, a giant chess board, and other games. In Texas, a Houston refiner y now boasts a new administration building complete with a fitness center, credit union, and wellness clinic to support employee health and add convenience to ever yday activities. Where spaces are redefined to foster reflection and connection, we are reimagining workspaces to focus on employees’ well-being and create a sense of belonging. This approach helps professionals in all industries better show up as their true, authentic selves on the job and in their communities.

AV I AT I O N Airports around the world have rebounded impressively since the pandemic, transforming into modern travel hubs equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. A prime example is Charlotte’s new Concourse A Phase II, the first major airport expansion project to begin construction and fully open after the passage of COVID-19 relief funding. This new 10-gate concourse greets travelers with modern amenities while honoring North Carolina’s first-in-flight heritage, as the 852-foot connector to the existing terminal celebrates the exact length of the final flight of the first Wright Flyer at Kitty Hawk. Many airports are undertaking terminal expansions featuring spacious passenger areas and vibrant art installations that showcase local culture. Innovations like automated bag drop kiosks streamline checkin processes, enhance efficiency, and reduce stress. The upgrades and expansions are made possible through collaborative partnerships among airports, local governments, and private enterprises, ensuring resources and expertise are leveraged effectively. With technology keeping travelers connected while on the move, and an increasing emphasis on diverse amenities — such as expanded food options, shops, and activity zones for both adults and children — airports are transforming into enjoyable destinations that reignite the excitement of flying and make ever y journey an adventure.

Many of our projects focused on expanding or creating new specialized buildings, including early childhood learning environments, performing arts centers, and career and technical education facilities. By collaborating with our industr y and educational partners, we can imagine and realize new visions for spaces that inspire the ingenuity and grit needed to master the lessons of today in order to tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

M U LT I - FA M I LY A N D STUDENT HOUSING We all need a place to call home. Increasingly, the homes we built in 2024 included amenity-rich properties designed to bring communities together outside the walls that define our individual spaces. Our projects across the Sun Belt appeal to students and young professionals seeking modern amenities in vibrant neighborhoods, while offering an array of on-site features, including pool decks, 24/7 workout facilities, restaurants, and retail spaces. Bringing all these spaces together under one roof makes student housing and residential properties exemplify the exciting challenges JE Dunn and our partners tackle to reimagine what home looks and feels like today.

R E TA I L , M I X E D - U S E , A N D H O S P I TA L I T Y Strong connections from the start are what have allowed us to reach new heights and continue competing in the United States’ most dynamic and competitive regions. Our ability to work closely with partners from the earliest stages of design allowed us to address issues like trade capacity and tight pro formas while still ensuring efficient project completion. Our partnerships in Atlanta positioned us to meet the rising demand of sustainable development and certainty of outcomes. By aligning with like-minded clients and industr y experts, we stayed ahead of trends and implemented innovative solutions that benefited both our clients and the community on projects like Spring Quarter and Ponce City Market. In Austin, JE Dunn + Gensler’s long-standing relationship weathered the challenges from COVID-19 to complete the Sixth and Guadalupe project. Standing as the tallest building in Austin, the 66-stor y, 865-foot retail, parking, office, and multifamily apartment tower provided 2.1 million SF of space for future tenants and residents. This truly remarkable building has forever impacted the Austin skyline and marks a milestone in our 100-year histor y as the tallest project JE Dunn has built to date. The Loews Arlington Hotel project in Texas further showcased our commitment to creating spaces that enhance connections, whether it’s through providing world-class accommodations or spaces designed for collaboration and community.

CULTURAL AND E N T E RTA I N M E N T JE Dunn has proudly championed community development that enriches the lives of all residents over the last centur y. Our latest projects, including two new Mid-Continent Public Libraries, provide vital access to cultural enrichment, education, and lifelong learning, offering inviting spaces for gathering and connection. We also honored spiritual needs through the expansion of Kansas City’s 140-year-old Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and the newly constructed Second Baptist Church in Springfield, Missouri. In Athens, Georgia, the impressive Classic Center Arena, featuring 192,000 SF and an 8,500-seat capacity, is designed to host top-tier sporting events, theater productions, family shows, and concerts, ser ving as a transformative hub for the community. Through authentic partnerships, we create spaces that not only inspire and promote well-being, but also drive engagement and strengthen community ties, making a lasting impact on the areas where we build.

SPORTS AND R E C R E AT I O N Sports have brought people and communities together for centuries. Even after 100 years in construction, we still find new ways to be the first. In 2024, JE Dunn + Monarch Build partnered with the Kansas City Current soccer team to create a one-of-a-kind home: the first professional women’s sports stadium. CPKC Stadium seats 11,500 fans, sprawls across 7 acres of the Kansas City riverfront, and ser ves to inspire millions. The Fudge Football Development Center at Baylor University added world-class facilities, allowing the university to meet modern challenges in college sports with spaces that push student-athletes to excel both on the field and in the community. The same way fans cheer on athletes to succeed at the highest level, our partners motivate us to find new ways to blend innovation, sustainability, and functionality with the latest technology and design trends into ever y project. Our partnerships, on and off the field, bring to life the passion and purpose that makes ever y sport more than just a game.

HISTORIC P R E S E RVAT I O N As we celebrate our Centennial year, we reflect on the significant role historic structures have played in shaping both our company and the communities we ser ve. From iconic museums and churches to public buildings, our projects have helped preser ve and revitalize the landmarks that define our shared histor y. A recent example of this commitment is the renovation of the American Swedish Institute’s Turnblad Mansion and Carriage House in Minneapolis. Originally built as the Turnblad family home, this historic property has been reimagined in partnership with HGA, ensuring that future generations can continue to experience and engage with its rich cultural histor y. This project highlights how historic preser vation can preser ve the stories of people from Sweden and around the world, fostering innovation and community transformation for years to come.

GOVERNMENT For 100 years, JE Dunn has been a trusted partner in transforming communities through federal and government construction projects that enhance lives and support vital missions. Our diverse portfolio includes modernizing health care facilities that benefit ser vice members and their families, building cutting-edge militar y bases, and constructing community fire and EMS stations that ensure safety at the local level. Each project tells a stor y — like the revitalization of Tyndall Air Force Base’s Ambulator y Care Center, which restored critical medical ser vices after Hurricane Michael, or life-saving access to a new EMS station in Texas.

JUSTICE As courthouses and correctional facilities show their age, the need for thoughtful updates has never been clearer. These spaces must prioritize efficiency, safety, and technology integration to effectively support the community and enhance the overall experience for ever yone who enters these facilities. Proper circulation and separation provide protection and security for individuals and court processes. JE Dunn helps clients reimagine courthouses that do more than deliver justice; they uplift all who enter, creating safe, dignified environments for judges, victims, and witnesses alike. In correctional facilities, the focus is on building secure and safe environments that promote healing and rehabilitation. Many of these facilities feature dedicated mental and behavioral health spaces, enabling individuals to engage in education, programs, therapy, and skills training that facilitate successful reentr y into society. Normative environments, which offer increased access to natural light, biophilia, and connection to nature, positively impact those within correctional facilities. We also help clients create environments that prioritize staff well-being with welcoming break rooms and spaces filled with natural light. Our collaborative partnerships have transformed these critical environments and will make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals and communities.

COMMUNITY I M PA C T Our legacy of success began with ser ving others. We believe we have a resolute responsibility to further that legacy through corporate and employee outreach in the communities where we live, work, and build. The people we are surrounded and supported by inspire us daily. Giving back by mentoring and spending intentional time ser ving our neighbors is what fuels us to keep moving for ward and gives us real insight into what our communities need to thrive. Whether we can raise funds, build homes, or invest our time in enriching others, we are all in. It’s our goal each year to positively impact markets around the nation with our philanthropy efforts. While our employees were instrumental in identifying and selecting the nonprofits we honored through our “Building a Legacy” grants this year, they also helped us personally support 1,156 organizations nationwide. In addition to their monetar y donations, our volunteers and our network of 52 Community Ambassadors generously shared their time and talents to enhance local engagement and companywide campaigns like National Volunteer Week, JE Dunn Has Hear t, and Speak Up for Suicide Prevention and Awareness. As we forge ahead into our next 100 years, we’re committed to cultivating excellence in the next generation of builders. In 2024, we continued our efforts to spread the word to K-12 students about fulfilling career paths in construction through Building the Future. Our people connected with more than 15,000 students and over 1, 400 educators this year. We’re proud of our people and their commitment to our company values of doing the right thing, giving back, and building authentic partnerships to enrich our communities and one another.
