"I am pleased with the performance of the business this quarter as we work through the Heavy Civil Operating Group Old Risk Portfolio," said Kyle Larkin, Granite President and CEO.

“Our second quarter adjusted diluted net income per share of $0.91 and adjusted EBITDA of $79.9 million were propelled by strong results from our vertically-integrated businesses in the California and Northwest Operating Groups. Public and private markets are robust, as is demonstrated by the increases in transportation CAP within the vertically-integrated groups and in both the water and specialty segments for the same period year-over-year. Our cash and balance sheet remain strong as we head into the second half of the year.”

(1) Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted income (loss) per share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the description and reconciliation of non-GAAP measures in the attached tables.
(2) The Heavy Civil Operating Group Old Risk Portfolio includes projects with risk criteria that do not align with Granite's new project selection criteria for the Heavy Civil Operating Group.

(4) Transaction costs includes acquired intangible amortization expenses and acquisition related depreciation related to the acquisition of Layne and LiquiForce.
(5) CAP is comprised of unearned revenue and other awards, as well as awarded construction management/general contractor, construction manager at-risk, and progressive design build projects for which contract execution and funding is probable.

Transportation revenue in the second quarter decreased year-over-year as increases driven by the strong performance in the vertically-integrated California and Northwest Operating Groups were offset by decreased revenue in the Heavy Civil Operating Group. Second quarter gross profit increased for the same period year-over-year primarily due to a decrease in losses in the Heavy Civil Group Old Risk Portfolio.

In the second quarter, the Old Risk Portfolio recognized $115.7 million of revenue and gross profit of $2.5 million compared to revenue of $120.8 million and gross loss of ($35.4) million for the same period in the prior year.

Despite an increase of $201.7 million in CAP in our vertically-integrated businesses for the same period year-over-year, segment CAP decreased $0.4 billion for the same period year-over-year to $2.9 billion as Heavy Civil Operating Group CAP decreased $566.2 million.

Water revenue in the second quarter increased year-over-year driven by the continued recovery from the pandemic and strong demand for water supply and maintenance services amidst the western U.S. drought conditions. Gross profit during the quarter decreased primarily due to $5.3 million in write downs on a Heavy Civil Operating Group project in the close-out phase and a California Operating Group project.

Segment CAP increased $299.7 million for the same period year-over-year to $531.9 million, reflecting strong backlog in the Water and Mineral Services Operating Group and the addition of the $160 million Leon Hurse Dam project within Heavy Civil Operating Group CAP.

Specialty revenue in the second quarter increased for the same period year-over-year, led by recovery of mineral exploration within the mining industry in the Water and Mineral Services Operating Group and project progression of a federal site development project in the Heavy Civil Operating Group. Gross profit decreased as disputed work continued on a previously reported tunnel project.

Segment CAP increased $338.1 million for the same period year-over-year to over $1.0 billion led by site development projects in our vertically-integrated California and Northwest Operating Groups and the addition of a previously reported tunnel project in the Midwest Operating Group.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The tables below contain financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Specifically, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and EBITDA margin are useful in evaluating operating performance and are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties, and that such supplemental measures facilitate comparisons between companies that have different capital and financing structures and/or tax rates. We are also providing adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin non-GAAP measures to indicate the impact of:

  • Other costs which includes the settlement charge, legal and accounting investigation fees, integration expenses related to the acquisition of Layne and restructuring charges related to our Heavy Civil Operating Group;
  • Non-cash impairments related to goodwill and investments in affiliates in 2020; and
  • Gain on sale of a property.

We provide adjusted net income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes, adjusted provision for (benefit from) income taxes, adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated, adjusted diluted weighted average shares of common stock, and adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share, non-GAAP measures, to indicate the impact of the following:

  • Other costs which includes the settlement charge, legal and accounting investigation fees, integration expenses related to the acquisition of the Layne and restructuring charges related to our Heavy Civil Operating Group;
  • Non-cash impairments related to goodwill and investments in affiliates in 2020;
  • Gain on sale of a property;
  • Transaction costs which includes acquired intangible amortization expenses and acquisition related depreciation related to the acquisition of Layne and LiquiForce;
  • Amortization of debt discount related to our 2.75% convertible notes; and
  • The impact of the purchased equity derivative instrument which offsets any potential- dilution from the 2.75% convertible notes above the $31.47 conversion price up to a share price of $53.44.

Management believes that these additional non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons between industry peer companies and management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company's performance. However, the reader is cautioned that any non-GAAP financial measures provided by the Company are provided in addition to, and not as alternatives for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Items that may have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows must be considered when assessing the Company's actual financial condition and performance regardless of whether these items are included in non-GAAP financial measures. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures provided by the Company may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure of net income (loss) attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated because the timing and amount of the excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate.

(1) The tax effect of adjusting items was calculated using the Company’s estimated annual statutory tax rate.
(2) Represents the dilutive effect on adjusted net income attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of 503,000 shares related to restricted stock units and 1,066,000 shares related to the 2.75% Convertible Notes potentially converting into shares.
(3) When calculating diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common shareholders, U.S. GAAP requires that we include potential share dilution from the 2.75% Convertible Notes when our average share price during the period is above the conversion price of $31.47. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, our average share price was above the conversion price resulting in accounting dilution under U.S. GAAP of 1,546,000 and 1,066,000 shares, respectively. For the purposes of calculating adjusted diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common shareholders, the dilutive effect from the 2.75% convertible notes is removed to reflect the impact of the purchased equity derivative instrument which offsets any potential share dilution from the 2.75% Convertible Notes above the $31.47 conversion price up to a share price of $53.44. The average share price did not exceed $53.44 in any period.
