Granite Construction Incorporated (NYSE:GVA) today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Results

Net income totaled $73 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, compared to net income of $35 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income (2) totaled $63 million and adjusted diluted EPS (2) totaled $1.41, compared to adjusted net income (2) of $43 million and adjusted diluted EPS (2) of $0.93, for the same period in the prior year.

Revenue decreased $52 million to $1,010 million compared to $1,062 million in the prior year. Comparable revenue (1), which excludes Granite Inliner revenue of $65 million in the prior year, increased $13 million.
Gross profit increased slightly to $120 million compared to the prior year; and gross profit margin increased to 11.9% compared to 11.3% in the prior year.
Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $62 million or 6.1% of revenue, compared to $78 million or 7.3% of revenue in the prior year. The decrease in SG&A primarily relates to the sale of Granite Inliner and a decrease in incentive compensation.
Adjusted EBITDA (2) totaled $97 million compared to $81 million in the prior year.
CAP (3) totaled $4,078 million, down $135 million sequentially following the busiest quarter of the year.
Cash and marketable securities increased $75 million from the prior quarter to $317 million. Debt was flat from the prior quarter at $288 million with over 80% at a fixed interest rate.

"During the third quarter, we continued to make progress towards achieving our 2024 strategic plan targets of 9% to 11% adjusted EBITDA margin," said Kyle Larkin, Granite President and Chief Executive Officer. "The overall market environment continues to be robust, and our teams are focused on driving improved profitability across our businesses. Our construction gross profit margin for the third quarter, excluding the ORP, was 14.8% following a gross margin of 14.1% in the second quarter. The continued strength of our construction gross profit margin reflects the work that has been underway over the last two years as we transform our project portfolio in alignment with our home market focus. Our third quarter CAP of over $4 billion is strong and is higher quality than prior years. We are raising our full year 2022 adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to 6% to 7% and expect the mid-point of our 2023 adjusted EBITDA margin guidance will be at least 8%. We are well positioned for success as we complete 2022 and move into 2023."

Larkin continued, "I am also pleased with the progress we have made during the third quarter to collect cash and strengthen our excellent liquidity position. We are in position to opportunistically invest in our vertically integrated operations through organic investment and bolt-on acquisitions."

Construction revenue in the third quarter decreased compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in Central Group revenue, coupled with a slight decrease in Mountain Group revenue, offset by an increase in California Group revenue. The decrease in Central Group revenue reflects the ongoing transformation of its project portfolio and timing as ORP projects are completed and new projects are awarded. The California Group carried record CAP into the third quarter driving an increase in revenue year over year. While the Mountain Group reported a decrease in revenue year over year, comparable revenue excluding $60 million of Granite Inliner revenue in the third quarter of 2021 increased by $38 million driven by strong performance in our solar business and the Washington region and supported by the continued strength of the Utah region.

Gross profit in the third quarter slightly decreased compared to the same period in the prior year as losses in the ORP were partially offset by strong performance in the vertically integrated businesses. During the third quarter, ORP revenue totaled $44 million with a gross loss of $21 million and net loss, after non-controlling interest ("NCI"), of $13 million, compared to ORP revenue of $99 million with a gross loss of $10 million and net loss, after NCI of $5 million, for the same period in the prior year. The ORP losses during the quarter primarily related to one project that experienced cost increases and schedule extensions. Excluding the impact of ORP losses during the quarter, Construction gross profit margin was 14.8% compared to 13.3% in the prior year. The year over year increase in the gross profit margin excluding ORP was driven by improved performance by the California and Mountain Groups. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, ORP revenue totaled $172 million with a gross loss of $45 million and net loss, after NCI of $34 million, compared to ORP revenue of $319 million with a gross loss of $9 million and net loss, after NCI of $0.4 million.

CAP was down $135 million sequentially and down $250 million year over year. Excluding Granite Inliner CAP as of September 30, 2021, our CAP as of September 30, 2022 was down $45 million year over year. Following Granite's busiest quarter of the year, we carried approximately $4 billion of CAP into the fourth quarter and expect CAP to continue to grow in this strong funding environment.

Materials Segment
	Three Months Ended September 30,										Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022			2021			Change				2022			2021			Change
Revenue	$	161,539		$	137,675		$	23,864	17.3	%	$	373,185		$	326,366		$	46,819		14.3	%
Gross profit	$	22,038		$	20,698		$	1,340	6.5	%	$	40,965		$	44,756		$	(3,791	)	(8.5	)%
Gross profit as a percent of revenue		13.6	%		15.0	%						11.0	%		13.7	%

Materials revenue in the third quarter increased compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to aggregate sales volume and prices increases which more than offset lower asphalt sales volumes. During the quarter, revenue increases drove an increase in gross profit year over year. Although gross profit margin was down year over year, gross profit margin increased sequentially as we benefited from energy surcharges implemented in the second quarter.

Outlook

For the 2022 fiscal year, guidance is updated as noted below:

Revenue updated to a range of $3.2 billion to $3.3 billion
SG&A expense unchanged in the range of 8.0% to 8.5% of revenue
Adjusted effective tax rate range unchanged at low-to-mid-20s
Raised adjusted EBITDA margin (2) range of 6% - 7%
Capital expenditures updated to a range of $120 million to $130 million

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, net, which include a legal settlement charge, legal and accounting investigation fees, net costs relating to the resolution of the SEC investigation, strategic acquisition and divestiture expenses, and a gain on sale of property.

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

Other costs, net, which include a legal settlement charge, legal and accounting investigation fees, net costs relating to the resolution of the SEC investigation, and strategic acquisition and divestiture expenses;
Interest expense and amortization of debt discount related to our 2.75% Convertible Notes;
Transaction costs which includes acquired intangible amortization expense and acquisition related depreciation related to the acquisition of Layne and Liquiforce;
Gain on sale of a business and sale of property; and
The tax benefit from no longer having businesses classified as held for sale.

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)		On January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2020-06 that requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share. In accordance with the if-converted method, during 2022 interest expense related to the 2.75% Convertible Notes is added back to income in order to calculate adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders.
(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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 excludes the $12 million payment for the resolution of the SEC investigation which is not tax deductible.
(3)		When calculating diluted net income per share attributable to common shareholders, U.S. GAAP requires that we include potential share dilution from the 2.75% Convertible Notes as though the shares were converted at the beginning of the period. For the purposes of calculating adjusted diluted net income 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 if they were to be converted.
