Insights

Financial Analyst

Granite Construction delivered a robust Q3 2024 with significant growth metrics: $1.3 billion revenue (14% YoY increase), $79 million net income ($1.57 EPS) and record $5.6 billion in committed projects. The company's performance shows strong operational execution with gross profit up 21.6% to $203 million.

Key positives include substantial revenue growth in both Construction (14.3%) and Materials (13.8%) segments, improved gross margins and strong cash flow generation. The company's strategic expansion through the Dickerson & Bowen acquisition strengthens its southeastern presence. The $5.6 billion CAP provides excellent revenue visibility and indicates continued growth momentum.

However, rising SG&A costs (7.2% of revenue vs 6.7% prior year) warrant monitoring. The updated guidance suggesting higher SG&A expenses indicates increasing operational costs that could impact margins.

Market Research Analyst

The infrastructure sector shows robust health, evidenced by Granite's strong performance and positive market outlook. The company's reference to being in the "early stages" of benefiting from the federal infrastructure bill suggests sustained long-term growth potential in the public sector. The healthy private market outlook through 2027 indicates broad-based demand.

The 6-8% targeted CAGR through 2027 appears achievable given the strong project pipeline and market conditions. The company's strategic focus on materials-focused acquisitions and vertical integration could drive further margin expansion and market share gains. The robust cash position enables both strategic growth investments and shareholder returns through buybacks.

• Q3 revenue increased 14% year-over-year to $1.3 billion
• Q3 diluted EPS of $1.57 and adjusted diluted EPS (1) of $2.05, compared to $1.13 and $1.72 in the prior year, respectively
• Record Committed and Awarded Projects (“CAP”) (2) of $5.6 billion, a sequential increase of $44 million
• Year-to-date operating cash flow increased $249 million year-over-year
• Expanded southeast home market with acquisition of Dickerson & Bowen, Inc.

WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Granite Construction Incorporated (NYSE: GVA) today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Results

Net income attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated totaled $79 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, compared to $58 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated (1) totaled $91 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, compared to $77 million, or $1.72 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year.

• Revenue increased $159 million to $1.3 billion, compared to $1.1 billion for the same period in the prior year. The Construction and Materials segments each posted year-over-year increases of 14%.
• Gross profit increased $36 million to $203 million, compared to $167 million for the same period in the prior year.
• Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $17 million to $92 million, or 7.2% of revenue, compared to $75 million, or 6.7% of revenue, for the same period in the prior year.
• Adjusted EBITDA (1) totaled $149 million, compared to $126 million for the same period in the prior year.
• CAP (2) increased $44 million sequentially and $35 million year-over-year to $5.6 billion.

"In the third quarter, we continued to build on our momentum with revenue growth and margin expansion,” said Kyle Larkin, Granite President and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue grew 14% year-over-year, resulting in another record quarter. The market continues to be robust, and we added to our CAP despite the third quarter being our highest revenue quarter. Our new business model is producing strong operating cash flow, and we expect to significantly exceed our target of 7% of revenue for the year.”

“For 2027, our financial targets contemplate organic growth at a CAGR of 6% to 8% and continued adjusted EBITDA margin expansion and operating cash flow growth. We believe we are still in the early stages of experiencing the benefits from the federal infrastructure bill that should continue to support the public market for years to come, and we see numerous opportunities to grow in a healthy private market over the next three years. I expect that our improved CAP, particularly when combined with initiatives underway in both the Materials and Construction segments, will continue to drive increases in gross profit margin. In addition, with our strong balance sheet, liquidity and cash generation, we will continue to pursue bolt-on and larger materials-focused, vertically-integrated acquisition opportunities, while also looking to return value to shareholders through share repurchases.”

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue increased year-over-year by $135 million and $395 million, respectively, due to higher levels of CAP, more favorable weather conditions early in 2024 and revenue from acquired businesses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, gross profit increased year-over-year as a result of increases in revenue and an increase in net positive revisions in estimates.

CAP increased $44 million sequentially to $5.6 billion and increased $35 million year-over-year. Public and private markets are strong with opportunities to continue to build CAP in the fourth quarter.

Materials Segment
	Three Months Ended September 30,														Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024				2023				Change						2024				2023				Change

(1) 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.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue increased year-over-year by $24 million and $59 million, respectively, driven by revenue from acquired businesses as well as higher asphalt and aggregate sales prices, which offset decreased asphalt volumes. Gross profit in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased due primarily to inclusion of the results of acquired businesses and higher materials sales prices. The impact to gross profit for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 from purchase accounting-related step-up depreciation and intangible asset amortization was $0.4 million and $3 million, respectively. Materials segment cash gross profit (1), which excludes the segment’s depreciation, depletion and amortization, also increased for the same period year-over-year.

Outlook

Our updated guidance for 2024 is noted below:

• Revenue unchanged in the range of $3.9 billion to $4.0 billion
• Adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 10% to 11%, narrowed from 9.5% to 11.5%
• SG&A expense in a range from 8.3% to 8.5% of revenue from a range of 7.5% to 8.0% of revenue due to increased incentive compensation
• Mid-20s effective tax rate for adjusted net income
• Capital expenditures expected to be approximately $130 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.

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 (gain) 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 a litigation charge and non-cash impairment charges in 2023.

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;
• (Gain) 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. 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 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.

(1) We define EBITDA as GAAP net income attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated, adjusted for net interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin exclude the impact of Other costs, net, (gain) loss on debt extinguishment and stock-based compensation expense, as described above.

(2) Represents net income, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated revenue of $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively and $3.0 billion and $2.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(3) Amount includes the sum of depreciation, depletion and amortization which are classified as cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(4) In the first quarter of 2024, we revised the adjusted EBITDA calculation to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense. The prior period adjusted EBITDA has been recast to conform to current presentation.

(1) In the first quarter of 2024, we revised the adjusted net income calculation to exclude the impact of stock-based compensation expense. The prior period adjusted net income and diluted loss 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes an immaterial amount of the (gain) loss on debt extinguishment as it was almost entirely non-tax deductible. The nine months ended September 30, 2023 excludes the $51 million loss on debt extinguishment and three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 exclude $5.0 million of non-cash impairment charges included in “Other costs, net” which was 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. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the potential share dilution from the convertible notes would have been antidilutive and therefore was excluded from the calculation. For the purposes of calculating 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 purchased equity derivative instruments which economically offsets dilution risk.
