"There is more work to do with the ORP, and we remain focused on project execution across our business. Opportunities in our markets are robust, cash and liquidity remain a strength, and I am confident we are positioning the company to continue on its path for improved financial performance.”

Transportation revenue in the third quarter decreased compared to the same period last year because of our efforts to narrow the footprint of the Heavy Civil Operating Group and because of decreased revenue in the California Operating Group. The decreased revenue in the California Operating Group was primarily due to an extended competitive bidding environment early in 2021 contrasted with an exceptional third quarter of 2020 which was bolstered by owner worksite accommodations. Third quarter gross profit increased compared to the same period last year primarily due to a decrease in project losses related to the Heavy Civil Group ORP.

In the third quarter, the ORP revenue totaled $99.5 million with a gross loss of ($10.4) million, or a loss of ($4.9) million, net of non-controlling interest ("NCI"), compared to ORP revenue of $102.7 million and gross loss of ($31.5) million, or loss of ($22.6) million, net of NCI for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, ORP revenue totaled $319.3 million with a gross loss of ($8.6) million, or loss of ($0.4) million, net of NCI compared to ORP revenue of $339.8 million with a gross loss of ($79.9) million, or loss of ($61.5) million, net of NCI for the same period last year.

The decrease in Transportation CAP of $0.3 billion compared to the same period last year primarily reflects a decrease in our Heavy Civil Operating Group CAP of $0.5 billion. This was partially offset by an increase of $0.2 billion in CAP in our vertically-integrated businesses and the Midwest Operating Group.

Water revenue in the third quarter increased compared to the same period last year as there was continued strong demand for water supply and maintenance services within the Water & Mineral Services Group. Third quarter gross profit decreased slightly due to work on two previously disclosed challenging projects in the Heavy Civil and California Operating Groups.

Segment CAP increased $177.9 million compared to the same period last year to $524.1 million, primarily reflecting the addition of the $160 million Leon Hurse Dam project within Heavy Civil Operating Group CAP.

Specialty revenue in the third quarter increased compared to the same period last year, led by work on a federal site development project in the Heavy Civil Operating Group and continued strength in mineral exploration within the mining industry in the Water and Mineral Services Operating Group. Third quarter gross profit decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to the continued performance of disputed work on a previously disclosed tunnel project and project mix.

Segment CAP increased $266.1 million compared to the same period last year to $0.9 billion primarily due to a tunnel project in the Midwest Operating Group and mining related civil construction work in the Northwest Operating Group.

Materials revenue in the third quarter increased compared to the same period last year led by continued strong demand and volumes in the vertically-integrated California and Northwest Operating Groups. Third quarter gross profit decreased compared to the same period last year as oil related costs returned to 2019 levels and the current year pricing did not benefit from low fuel and liquid asphalt costs experienced during the third quarter of 2020.

Outlook

For the 2021 fiscal year, the Company reaffirms revenue guidance of low- to mid-single digit revenue growth for the 2021 fiscal year and amends adjusted EBITDA margin guidance from a range of 5.5% to 7.5 % to a range of 6.0% to 7.0%.

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 income before provision for (benefit from) 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 net income per share attributable to common shareholders, 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) We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) 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, non-cash impairment charges, and a gain on sale of property.

(2) 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 of Granite Construction Incorporated.

(3) Represents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA divided by consolidated revenue of $1.1 billion for both the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $2.7 billion and $2.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(1) The tax effect of adjusting items was calculated using the Company’s estimated annual statutory tax rate.

(2) 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021, our average share price was above the conversion price resulting in accounting dilution under U.S. GAAP of 1.5 million and 1.2 million shares, respectively. 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 above the $31.47 conversion price up to a share price of $53.44. The number of shares used in calculating diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 excluded the potential dilution from the 2.75% Convertible Notes converting into shares of common stock as the average price of our common stock was below $31.47 per share for those periods. The average share price did not exceed $53.44 in any period.
