ABC AWARDS

It is hard to believe we are wrapping up another year.

As discussed at our Annual State of the Companies meeting at Turning Stone, 2025 is expected to be another strong year for the Companies. This past year, we completed several signature projects successfully with extremely happy customers. We were able to break ground on several new projects that will carry through 2027. We continue to negotiate the majority of our work with an outstanding list of repeat customers, and we have been recognized again as a Best Company to Work for in NYS for the 18th consecutive year, as well as a Best Contractor to Work for Nationally for the 3rd consecutive year!

As we look forward to 2026, we need to continue to remain focused on our Core Values, demonstrate to our customers how important they are to us, and provide them with the best possible experience, so there is no doubt in their minds that they made the right choice in hiring us. The majority of our business is based on repeat customers, and we aim to uphold this legacy.

Several new opportunities have surfaced in the last 30-60 days, including some with existing customers who are meeting with us to move these projects forward, as well as a few new customers who have reached out because they are familiar with our reputation and would like to work with us. This would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of all of our team members to our Mission and Core Values.

Thank you for continuing to make us the Constructor of Choice in the Markets we serve! Be safe, and I look forward to seeing everyone again on December 19th at our holiday party at YBR Casino’s East End.

It’s that time of year when days shorten and temperatures drop (that time of year when you need five layers on the way to work and only one on the way home). A season of hard work on job sites and festive celebrations at home. Safety is always the first priority for every employee at Hayner Hoyt and LeMoyne, and we believe we need to be healthy, happy, and able to perform at our peak.

This time of year requires certain safety precautions. The shifting weather creates challenges. Wet leaves, snow, or frost on walking and driving surfaces, the clocks falling back to shorten daylight, and added holiday responsibilities often call for greater attention to maintaining one's safety focus at work. Be prepared for sudden weather changes. Dress in layers, wear cold-weather protection equipment when necessary, and stay hydrated. Dehydration can be another consequence of cold weather if not done properly.

SLIP, TRIP, AND FALL PREVENTION:

Our industry’s most common causes of injury increase in fall and winter. To prevent falls, keep walking surfaces free from debris, frost, ice, and standing water. If you notice a slippery walkway on the job, promptly notify the Superintendent and take action to address the hazard so no one slips and falls. Be careful working at high levels and ensure any scaffolding and ladders are on solid, flat ground.

TOOL & EQUIPMENT

INSPECTIONS:

Cold weather can cause power tools and heavy machinery to malfunction or experience equipment problems. Do close-up pre-shift checks on everything to identify issues before they cause an accident.

VISIBILITY:

Your High-Vis clothes must be on the outermost layer (an orange T-Shirt is useless under a black hoodie). More visibility is vital these days, since there are fewer hours of daylight. Wearing high-visibility clothing is mandatory. Ensure your colleagues and equipment operators can see you clearly 24/7 and remind them to wear theirs as well.

HOLIDAY HOME SAFETY:

Christmas is around the corner. The holiday is spent with family and friends, taking some well-earned time off and having fun. Here are a few precautions that will help the celebrations be joyous and safe.

CHRISTMAS DECORATING SAFETY TIPS:

Do NOT leave candles unattended. Inspect holiday lights for frayed wires, turn off all decorations before bed or when leaving the house, and keep natural Christmas trees well-tended and watered. When using a ladder to hang lights and decorations, always have a partner help, and keep in mind the 3-point-of-contact rule (two hands, one foot, or two feet and one hand on the ladder at all times). NEVER stand on the top two steps.

Keep in mind that inclement weather on the roads can be dangerous this time of year, whether you’re commuting to the job site or traveling for the holiday. Rain and snow can create dangerous conditions on all roads. Get your car ready: Check that your tire tread is deep and your tires are in good condition for optimal traction. See to it that your antifreeze, wiper blades, and battery are in good condition. Pack an emergency kit with blankets, a flashlight, water, a first-aid kit, phone chargers, and other essentials, and drive slowly.

Whether you are in a rush or not, it is necessary to slow down. The posted speed limit is designated for perfect conditions. On wet, icy, or snowy roads, slow down. Allow a much greater following distance between your vehicle and the one ahead. Operating on a slippery road makes stops take much longer. Start to slow down for intersections and curvy roads much sooner. Road surfaces may appear wet when, in fact, they are frozen (black ice). You might not be able to see this on the road surface. Be very careful, particularly on bridges and overpasses, which freeze first. Prevent distractions from cell phones. Only undistracted attention to driving allows you to respond rapidly to changes in the road's landscape and driving conditions.

Staying alert and prioritizing safety in all aspects of our lives enables us to meet our annual goal in a safe and successful manner. Remember that if you see something that is unsafe, or someone acting unsafe on a jobsite, speak up! It is everyone’s job to ensure we are all safe.

Stay safe and enjoy your holiday! I truly hope everyone has a joyous, safe, and memorable Holiday Season.

We have completed over $76 million in estimates since March 31st and received contracts for 71%, or approximately $54 million. In addition, we have about $260 million in projects in the estimating/pricing cycle that have not started yet but will soon.

73% of the new contracts were issued by repeat customers. Customers include familiar names like Syracuse University, St. Joseph’s Hospital, Chobani, Byrne, St. Luke Nursing Home, Colgate University, Fage, and North Country Veterinary. The other 27% were secured because of our reputation for doing good work.

Thank you, estimators, for your hard work, and thank you to the many subcontractors and material suppliers who are vital to our ability to complete the estimates.

Over the last 12 months, we have identified a sophisticated phishing campaign targeting with Vadim Potorac Network administrator

employees through malicious calendar invitations. This attack bypasses traditional email filters by embedding phishing content within calendar events that automatically appear in Outlook calendars.

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

• Calendar invitation with urgent subject lines like "Final Notice: Payroll Acknowledgment Required"

• Sender appears to be from your own email address

• Includes suspicious attachments (Word, Excel, PDFs)

• Creates false urgency with "action required" language

• May reference HR, payroll, or other business-critical topics

HOW IT WORKS

1. Phishing email contains a calendar invitation (.ics file)

2. When an email is received, the calendar event automatically appears in your Outlook calendar

3. Event includes malicious attachments or links

4. Creates false legitimacy through calendar integration

5. Uses social engineering to prompt immediate action

EXAMPLES:

1. Subject: "Please complete without delay to avoid interruptions”

2. Calendar Event: "Final Notice: Payroll Acknowledgment Required"

I hope everyone had a good fall. We were busy, but I hope you all found time for relaxation as well.

We have completed many projects. Some of them include the Mayro Building for BBL, SU Sims, Auburn Hospital, NE College, and several smaller buildings for Esposito, Diamond & Theil, Pioneer, Parsons McKenna, and direct clients for Lockheed and Martin.

Some jobs currently underway and still being worked on are: Hamilton Hospital, Rome Hospital, T-Mobile, Friendly Ford, Wilkens RV, and 5 Iron Golf. Some upcoming work includes 420 and 430 Genesee Street, PCA, and a Comfort Inn and Suites. Pete and Rodger are bidding on several jobs, and a couple are good-sized in Syracuse.

John Murabito and John Dauler are retiring at the end of the Year after 28 and 30 years. I would like to say good luck in retirement to two of the most dedicated and dependable employees Lemoyne has ever had. Good luck to them both.
