LOOKING AHEAD: 2026 STRATEGIC PLAN

SETTING THE STANDARD: TRISTAN TALKS SAFETY

FROM RICK’S DESK

PRESIDENT RICK MIXSON

As we begin 2026, I want to take a moment to reflect on the year we just completed, recognize the work that made it possible, and share our direction moving forward at Landmark Construction.

Last year marked an important milestone for our company as we celebrated 60 years in business. That kind of longevity does not happen by chance. It is the result of generations of people showing up, doing the work the right way, and staying committed to the fundamentals that built this company. As we look ahead, those same principles continue to guide how we operate and how we plan for the future.

Looking back, 2025 was a demanding year. We faced tight schedules, complex projects, and moments that tested us. What stood out most was how our team responded with professionalism, discipline, and a commitment to doing things the right way. I am proud of how our people showed up every day and continued to move the company forward.

Safety remains the foundation of everything we do at Landmark. As we move into a new year, I want to reinforce that protecting our people is non-negotiable. Safety is part of our culture and shows up in how we work every day.

Our strategic plan is not meant to sit on a shelf. Strategy lives in the field, in daily decisions, and in how work gets done. Every role at Landmark plays a part in executing this plan, and success

As we look ahead, we have aligned around a clear strategic direction for 2026. Our focus this year is getting back to the basics. By staying disciplined in safety, quality, production, and growth, we believe we will continue to move the needle in the right direction.

p p

expectations are high, the opportunities are real, and we are ready for what’s ahead.

Our2026StrategicPlan

WHAT IS OUR STRATEGIC PLAN?

Our strategic plan is Landmark Construction’s roadmap for the future

It outlines where we are going as a company, what matters most, and how we make decisions along the way

It gives us a shared direction so that leadership, office teams, and field crews are all working toward the same goals Instead of reacting to problems as they come up, the strategic plan helps us stay focused, proactive, and aligned

At its core, our strategic plan answers three simple questions:

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Why the Strategic Plan Matters

In a company our size, alignment matters.

Where are we going?

What do we need to focus on to get there?

How do we work together to execute the plan successfully?

When everyone is moving in the same direction, work runs smoother, decisions are clearer, and teams are stronger. The strategic plan exists to create that alignment so we’re not just busy, but moving forward together.

At its core, the plan helps us: Create clarity around priorities

Keep safety, quality, and production aligned

Support consistent decision-making at every level

Build long-term growth and stability

Most importantly, it connects the work we do every day to the long-term success of Landmark.

OUR STRATEGIC PLAN:

GETTING BACK TO THE BASICS

As Landmark continues to grow, one thing remains clear: the fundamentals matter most.

Our 2026 strategic plan is centered on getting back to the basics doing the core things well, consistently, and every day These basics are what have built Landmark into the company it is today, and they are what will carry us forward

Rather than trying to focus on everything at once, we’ve identified four strategic facets that will guide our decisions, priorities, and actions throughout 2026 These facets reflect what matters most to our people, our projects, and our long-term success and they are supported by a strong focus on clear communication and accountability to ensure the plan is understood, reinforced, and executed across the company

SAFETY

Protecting our people every job, every day. Safety is our top priority. Nothing we do is more important than making sure everyone goes home safe at the end of the day. In 2026, we will continue focusing on planning work safely, identifying hazards early, and looking out for one another.

PRODUCTION

Planning and executing work efficiently. Production is about doing the right work, the right way, at the right time. Strong planning, coordination, and execution allow our teams to work efficiently while maintaining safety and quality.

QUALITY

Building it right the first time.

Quality is about pride in our work. It means following the plan, meeting expectations, and delivering results we stand behind. Quality work reduces rework, improves efficiency, and strengthens our reputation.

GROWTH

Strengthening Landmark for the future. Growth means being intentional developing our people, improving our processes, and pursuing the right opportunities. It’s about building a company that’s strong today and sustainable for years to come.

GETTING BACK TO THE BASICS MEANS DOING THE IMPORTANT THINGS WELL

HoodPackaging

IN-PROGRESS

The Hood Packaging expansion is now nearing completion Work began in early August with pumping down existing ponds to construct a new building pad within that footprint The team stripped and cleared the site, filled the former pond, and successfully turned over the completed pad, marking a major milestone for the project. The loading dock area has also been stabilized and prepared for final stone placement.

The project is currently in its final phase, with miscellaneous cleanup underway and preparations being made to dress out the remaining work before closeout Superintendent Tom Halley has led the effort through the final stages, ensuring the job finishes strong. The team is on track to wrap up work soon, bringing this project to a successful close.

CCAACHSRON: CharlestonInternationalAirport

IN-PROGRESS

Work is officially underway on the Ron Apron Expansion at Charleston International Airport, a coordinated concrete and site work effort supporting the construction of a new overnight parking pad for three aircraft. The project scope includes demolition of existing utilities, earthwork operations, and installation of multiple junction boxes and approximately 300 linear feet of 72-inch reinforced concrete pipe.

Additional work includes placement of a sixinch lean concrete base and a substantial electrical upgrade to support expanded apron operations Given the airside location, all work is being performed within an active airport environment, requiring strict adherence to safety protocols and detailed coordination with airport operations

Taxiway closures and phased work sequencing are being carefully planned in collaboration with the Charleston County Aviation Authority to maintain safe aircraft movement while construction is in progresses. This project highlights the level of planning and communication required to execute complex infrastructure improvements in a live aviation setting, and the team is off to a strong start as work continues.

SAFETY MANAGER TRISTAN MAPLES

Safety is a commitment we make every day, on every job, without exception.

Our experience in 2024 showed us what is possible when safety is treated as a constant priority, not an aspirational goal. That level of performance set the expectation for how we operate, not a benchmark we occasionally reach. While no year is without challenges, our responsibility remains the same: to identify risks, address them proactively, and ensure that every person goes home safely at the end of the day.

Moving forward, zero incidents must always be the standard. Achieving that requires consistency, accountability, and the willingness to speak up and look out for one another. It also means learning from our mistakes, correcting unsafe behaviors, and refusing to accept shortcuts or complacency as part of how we work.

Every individual, regardless of role or experience, has both the authority and the responsibility to stop work when something isn’t right. Safety is not owned by one department or one person; it is owned by all of us. By holding ourselves and each other accountable, we strengthen

PLEASE KNOW THAT OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY TODAY, TOMORROW, AND ALWAYS, IS TO ENSURE THAT YOUR LOVED ONES GO HOME

SAFE TO YOU AT THE END OF EVERY DAY.

accountable, we strengthen our culture and reinforce that safety is never optional at Landmark Construction.

This year required us to look in the mirror and be honest with ourselves about where we were falling short. That honesty allowed us to challenge the status quo and make meaningful improvements.

One of those areas was excessive equipment damage, which has been a challenge for us for the last several years. In Q4, we put a particular emphasis on the 10-Foot Rule, which increases the required distance around heavy equipment. This simple but deliberate change led to a noticeable reduction in equipment damage, fewer incidents, and improved productivity across our projects, proving that smart safety decisions also make good operational sense.

We also focused heavily on improving the quality of our daily Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) meetings. We know that strong communication at the start of each task is critical, and these efforts helped ensure that hazards were consistently identified, discussed, and understood before work began. Clear expectations and open dialogue remain key components of keeping every task safe.

Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) is a standardized metric used across our industry to measure the number of OSHArecordable injuries per 200,000 work hours. More importantly, it is a reflection of our overall safety culture. A low TRIR does not happen by accident; it happens when employees are engaged, hazards are addressed proactively, and everyone takes personal responsibility for working

PROTECT THE TEAM

safely In 2025, Landmark achieved a final TRIR of 083 While much lower than the industry average, our goal as we move into 2026 is a TRIR of 00

Throughout the year, we continued to strengthen our safety culture by introducing new accountability initiatives designed to set clear expectations and reinforce that safety is everyone’s responsibility, from leadership to the newest team member At the same time, we made it a priority to recognize crews and individuals who consistently demonstrated what it means to lead by example Your efforts did not go unnoticed, and those recognitions reflect the pride we have in the way you work

I would also like to extend my sincere congratulations to our Q4 Diamond Safety Award winner, the Trucking Division

They put safety at the forefront of their operations and delivered a near-flawless fourth quarter Their

performance is a strong example of what can be achieved when safety is fully integrated into daily operations

I also want to acknowledge the families who support our employees Your encouragement, patience, and understanding play a vital role in what we do Please know that our number one priority today, tomorrow, and always, is to ensure that your loved ones come home safely to you at the end of every day When we ask our teammates what motivates them most to work safely, YOU are their motivation YOU are their reason We hope to never lose sight of that As we move into 2026, we are carrying this endof-year momentum with us We will continue to build on what we’ve put in motion, improve where we see opportunities, and challenge ourselves to be even better Safety is not a destination; it is a continuous journey, and I am confident that together we will keep raising the bar

Thank you for making 2025 a year we can all be proud of I look forward to continuing this journey with you and ensuring that everyone who comes to work at Landmark returns home safely, every single day

DiamondSafety Award-Q4

The Q4 Diamond Safety Award goes to our Trucking Division for an outstanding quarter on the road Over the past three months, the team logged more than 100,000 miles with zero incidents no accidents, no speeding violations, and no safety issues

This kind of consistency takes focus, discipline, and pride in doing things the right way Every safe mile reflects the commitment our drivers bring to their work every day, keeping themselves and everyone around them safe

Their performance this quarter sets the bar for what strong safety culture looks like in action It is proof that when people take ownership of their role and look out for one another, great results follow on the job, on the road, and in the communities we work in

10FootRule

In safety, understanding why something happens is just as important as knowing what happened An incident is an unplanned, undesired event that negatively affects the completion of a task It’s important to distinguish that from an accident An accident suggests there was no control and nothing could have been done to prevent the outcome An incident, on the other hand, implies that aside from true acts of God, there is almost always something that could have been done differently

That mindset matters because it’s how we hold ourselves accountable and continue to improve

When we look at the difference between a near miss and an incident, it often comes down to two things: time and distance In many cases, the only reason an incident did not occur was because someone was a few seconds faster, or a few feet farther away Those two factors are not always controllable, but they are often influenced by our decisions in the field

PROTECT THE TEAM

As we reviewed our incidents, one trend stood out: a significant number involved equipment In most cases, the issue wasn’t speed, weather, or operator skill It was proximity Equipment was operating too close to other machines, personnel, or fixed objects when it didn’t need to be

That’s where the 10-Foot Rule comes in

The 10-Foot Rule is simple by design: maintain a minimum of ten feet of separation between operating equipment, people, and obstacles whenever possible That distance creates time Time to react Time to stop Time to correct a mistake before it becomes an incident

This rule isn’t about slowing work down It’s about creating space to work safely and intentionally Every additional foot of distance reduces risk, and every decision to maintain that space helps prevent equipment incidents before they happen

Safety starts with awareness, but it’s reinforced through choices we make every day The 10-Foot Rule is one of those choices. Keep your distance. Create time. Protect yourself and the people around you.
