Insights

Financial Analyst

Granite Construction's Q4 and FY2024 results reveal a company executing at an exceptional level, with multiple records across key performance metrics. The 14% full-year revenue growth to $4.0 billion demonstrates strong market positioning, but it's the dramatic improvement in profitability metrics that truly stands out.

The expansion in construction segment gross margins to 15.6% in Q4 (up from 9.1%) signals successful project execution and improved operational efficiency. This substantial margin improvement, combined with the robust operating cash flow of $456 million (11.4% of revenue), indicates the company has successfully optimized its project portfolio and enhanced operational discipline.

While the 4.5% year-over-year decline in Committed and Awarded Projects (CAP) to $5.3 billion might appear concerning, management's confidence in securing significant project awards in H1 2025 suggests this is more about timing than market weakness. The strong market environment, supported by sustained public funding and private investment, provides a solid foundation for organic growth.

The company's $586 million in cash and available credit facility presents significant strategic optionality for M&A and strategic investments. The planned $50 million investment in materials capabilities is particularly noteworthy, as it could strengthen vertical integration and margin sustainability.

The 2025 guidance targeting revenue of $4.2-4.4 billion with adjusted EBITDA margins of 11.0-12.0% reflects management's confidence in sustaining operational improvements while pursuing growth. The projected SG&A of 9.0% of revenue indicates continued focus on operational efficiency, even while investing in growth initiatives.

• Q4 revenue increased 5% year-over-year to $977 million, and fiscal year revenue increased 14% year-over-year to $4.0 billion
• Q4 diluted EPS of $0.84 and adjusted diluted EPS (1) of $1.23, and fiscal year diluted EPS of $2.62 and adjusted diluted EPS (1) of $4.82
• Fiscal year operating cash flow of $456 million, or 11.4% of revenue
• Committed and Awarded Projects ("CAP") (2) of $5.3 billion

"I want to thank our teams across the company for all of their hard work and dedication. 2024 was a record year for Granite,” said Kyle Larkin, Granite President and Chief Executive Officer. “We set company records for revenue, adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, operating cash flow and safety. We expect to continue our organic revenue growth, execute on M&A, expand margins and generate consistent cash flow as we drive toward our 2027 targets.

Construction revenue increased 3% and 14% year-over-year in the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The revenue increase was driven by a strong market environment, revenue from acquired companies and more favorable weather conditions early in the year. Construction gross profit and gross profit margin increased significantly in both the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, driven by increased revenue and improved project execution across our higher quality project portfolio.

CAP totaled $5.3 billion, a decrease of $324 million sequentially and $250 million year-over-year. Bidding activity remained robust, and several significant project awards are expected to be added to CAP during the first half of 2025. Given the current market environment, we believe there are substantial opportunities to build CAP in 2025.

Materials segment cash gross profit and cash gross profit as a percent of revenue are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the description and reconciliation of non-GAAP measures in the attached tables.

Materials revenue for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, increased compared to the same periods in the prior year, driven primarily by acquired businesses and higher asphalt and aggregate prices. Gross profit margin decreased in the fourth quarter and was flat for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, year-over-year, mainly due to increased depreciation, depletion and amortization. Cash gross profit margin, which excludes depreciation, depletion and amortization, increased in both the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, demonstrating the progress made in 2024 by the materials business following the internal reorganization and the addition of acquired businesses.

Outlook

Our guidance for 2025 is described below:

• Revenue in the range of $4.2 billion to $4.4 billion
• Adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 11.0% to 12.0%
• SG&A expense of approximately 9.0% of revenue, inclusive of an estimated $45 million of stock-based compensation expense
• Mid-20s effective tax rate for adjusted net income
• Capital expenditures of approximately $140 million to $160 million

We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margin or the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure of net income attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated because we cannot predict with a reasonable degree of certainty and without unreasonable efforts certain components or excluded items that are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors. For these reasons, we are unable to assess the potential significance of the unavailable information.

“Our guidance reflects our belief in the strength of our project portfolio and market environment as we enter 2025,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Staci Woolsey. “The projected revenue growth is consistent with our 2027 organic revenue growth target of 6.0% to 8.0%. We also expect to continue to expand margins while maintaining SG&A discipline to reach our range of adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.0% to 12.0% in 2025, led by an increase in construction segment gross profit margin. Finally, we expect to invest in our business through capital expenditures in a range of $140 million to $160 million, including strategic materials investments of approximately $50 million.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The tables below contain financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 loss on debt extinguishment, stock-based compensation expense and other costs, net, which include legal fees for the defense of a former Company officer in his ongoing civil litigation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reorganization costs, strategic acquisition and divestiture expenses and non-cash impairment charges. In addition to the aforementioned costs, 2023 also included a litigation charge.

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

• Other costs, net as described above;
• Transaction costs which include acquired intangible amortization expense and acquisition-related depreciation;
• Stock-based compensation expense;
• Loss on debt extinguishment; and
• Income taxes related to establishment of valuation allowance in 2023.

We also provide materials segment cash gross profit to exclude the impact of the segment’s depreciation, depletion and amortization from the segment’s gross profit. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures such as materials segment cash gross profit 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.

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.

(1)		In the first quarter of 2024, we revised the adjusted net income calculation to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense. Prior period adjusted net income and diluted net income per share calculations have been recast to conform to current presentation.
(2)		The tax effect of adjusting items was calculated using the Company’s estimated annual statutory tax rate. The tax effect of adjusting items for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 includes an immaterial amount of the loss on debt extinguishment as it was almost entirely non-tax deductible. In addition, the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 excludes $2 million of non-cash impairment charges included in “Other costs, net,” which were non-tax deductible. The fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 excludes the $51 million loss on debt extinguishment and $5 million of non-cash impairment charges included in “Other costs, net” which were non-tax deductible.
(3)		When calculating diluted net income attributable to common shareholders, GAAP requires that we include potential share dilution from the convertible notes when not antidilutive. Granite entered into capped call transactions relating to both the 3.75% and 3.25% convertible notes to offset the dilutive impact of the convertible notes. The impact of the capped call transactions was excluded from the GAAP diluted net income attributable to common shareholders calculation as the impact would be antidilutive. For the purpose of calculating our adjusted diluted net income per share attributable to common shareholders, the dilutive effect of the convertible notes is removed to reflect the impact of the capped call transactions.
