LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tutor Perini Corporation (NYSE: TPC) (the “Company”), a leading civil and building construction company, today announced that the Company has prevailed in defending on appeal the judgment obtained by its subsidiary, Tutor-Saliba Corporation, in the previously disclosed Westgate Planet Hollywood Matter. With only minor adjustments, the Supreme Court of Nevada affirmed the lower court’s judgment and, following further proceedings in the lower court, the anticipated final award to the Company is estimated to exceed $20 million, including interest and recovery of certain attorneys’ fees and costs. The Company anticipates the final award will have no material impact on its consolidated financial statements, and will reflect the impact of this judgment, upon collection, as a reduction of accounts receivable.

Separately, the Company also today announced that its subsidiary, Lunda Construction (“Lunda”), has been awarded a contract for the $322.7 million I-74 Steel Twin Arch Bridge Replacement Project in Iowa. The Company had previously announced that Lunda was the apparent low bidder for this project. The Company will reflect the contract value in its second quarter 2017 backlog.
