  • Q4 revenue increased 18% year-over-year to $934 million
  • Q4 diluted EPS of $0.55 and adjusted diluted EPS (1) of $0.82
  • Operating cash flow increased $150 million sequentially
  • Committed and Awarded Projects ("CAP") (2) of $5.5 billion, a year-over-year increase of $1.1 billion
  • 2024 guidance continues to align with previously provided targets

Granite Construction Incorporated (NYSE: GVA) today announced results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Results

Net income totaled $26 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to net income of $22 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income (1) totaled $36 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income (1) of $25 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year.

  • Revenue increased $145 million to $934 million compared to $789 million for the same period in the prior year. Both Construction and Materials segments posted year-over-year increases with the California and Mountain Groups up 44% and 14%, respectively, offset by a decrease in revenue of 9% in the Central Group.
  • Gross profit decreased $3 million to $94 million compared to $97 million for the same period in the prior year.
  • Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $82 million, or 8.8% of revenue, compared to $81 million, or 10.2% of revenue, for the same period in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (1) totaled $74 million, compared to $50 million for the same period in the prior year.

“Across the Company, our teams had an outstanding fourth quarter,” said Kyle Larkin, Granite President and Chief Executive Officer. “The quarter’s strong results, however, were tempered by impacts from the legacy Tappan Zee and I-64 projects. Looking back on 2023, it was a transformative year for Granite as we delivered on our strategic plan. We met our expectations for organic revenue growth and achieved our adjusted EBITDA margin range. We continued to develop our home markets while growing what we believe is the highest quality CAP in Granite’s history by $1 billion year-over-year. We generated operating cash flow in excess of our target at 5.2% of revenue and completed acquisitions that added exclusive rights to 140 million tons of reserves and expanded our vertically integrated footprint to the Southeast. We continue to make significant progress to deliver strong, predictable profitability by focusing on our core construction skills that we have developed and honed over the past 100 years.”

“Our guidance in 2024 reflects significant revenue growth driven by the high level of our CAP, robust construction and materials markets, and contribution from the Lehman-Roberts Company and Memphis Stone & Gravel Company acquisition. Our 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin guidance range remains unchanged, and we expect to see further improvements in operating cash flow.”

Fiscal Year 2023 Results

Net income totaled $44 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, compared to net income of $83 million, or $1.70 per diluted share, in the prior year. Adjusted net income (1) totaled $140 million, or $3.14 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income (1) of $104 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, in the prior year.

  • Revenue increased $208 million to $3.5 billion compared to $3.3 billion in the prior year.
  • Gross profit increased $27 million to $396 million compared to $369 million in the prior year.
  • SG&A expenses totaled $294 million, or 8.4% of revenue, compared to $273 million, or 8.3% of revenue, in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher incentive compensation and non-qualified deferred compensation expenses in 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (1) totaled $269 million compared to $210 million for the same period in the prior year.

(1)

 

Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings 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)

CAP is comprised of revenue we expect to record in the future on executed contracts, including 100% of our consolidated joint venture contracts and our proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture contracts, as well as the general construction portion of construction manager/general contractor, construction manager/at risk and progressive design build contracts to the extent contract execution and funding is probable.

Construction revenue in the fourth quarter increased 19% year-over-year led by the California and Mountain groups with increases of 61% and 12%, respectively, more than offsetting a reduction in revenue in the Central group of 13% driven by a reduction in the estimated probable claim recovery from the legacy Tappan Zee project. Significantly higher levels of CAP for both the California and Mountain groups allowed our teams to increase revenue during the quarter. The performance in the quarter, combined with the strong third quarter, overcame the weather-related slow start to the year and resulted in a revenue increase of 7% year-over-year for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

While construction gross profit increased year-over-year for the fiscal year, gross profit margin in the fourth quarter decreased year-over-year primarily due to negative impacts from the legacy Tappan Zee and I-64 High Rise Bridge Projects. Although a non-cash event, we adjusted our probable claim recovery estimate on the Tappan Zee project to reflect developments in the dispute review process. This resulted in a negative impact to gross profit of $19 million during the fourth quarter. Even though construction activities are now substantially complete on the I-64 High Rise Bridge project, fourth quarter gross profit was negatively impacted by $14 million, or $7 million after non-controlling interest. For the year, the I-64 project’s negative impact to gross profit was $55 million, or $27 million after non-controlling interest. Excluding the impact of these two projects, construction gross profit margin was 13% in the fourth quarter and for the fiscal year.

CAP decreased $39 million sequentially and increased $1.1 billion year-over-year. Despite a slight decrease in CAP during the fourth quarter, our markets continue to be robust, and we are entering 2024 with significantly higher CAP than we began 2023. Given the current market environment and strong funding levels of state Departments of Transportation, we believe there are substantial opportunities to continue to build CAP in 2024.

Materials revenue for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 increased compared to the same periods in the prior year, driven primarily by sales from facilities and businesses acquired in 2023 and higher asphalt and aggregate sales prices. Gross profit and gross profit margin decreased during the fourth quarter primarily due to a gross loss from our newly acquired operations, including the impact of purchase accounting, which reduced gross profit margin by 260 bps.

Outlook

Our guidance for 2024 is described below:

  • Revenue in the range of $3.8 billion to $4.0 billion
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 9.0% to 11.0%
  • SG&A expense in the range of 7.5% to 8.0% of revenue
  • Mid-20s effective tax rate for adjusted net income
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $130 million to $150 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.

“In 2024, we expect to achieve the revenue growth and profitability targets that we announced two years ago,” said Lisa Curtis, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We believe this demonstrates that we are executing on our strategic plan. Entering 2024, with CAP 24% higher year-over-year and a strong market, we expect revenue to grow significantly in 2024 to a range of $3.8 billion to $4.0 billion, inclusive of the recently acquired Lehman-Roberts Company and Memphis Stone & Gravel Company. As we have stated in the past, we expect profitability to increase to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.0% to 11.0% in 2024, led by our transformed project portfolio and improved materials margins. CAPEX is expected to be in a range of $130 million to $150 million, including approximately $50 million in planned strategic materials investments in land, reserves and an aggregate plant. This range also includes approximately $20 million related to a project-specific tunnel boring machine.”

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 in 2023 and other costs, net, which include investigation-related legal fees, strategic acquisition costs, a litigation charge and costs and non-cash impairment charges related to the wind down of our international mineral services operations in 2023, and investigation-related legal fees, settlement charges, divestiture costs and a gain on sale of a business in 2022.

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 in 2023 and 2022;
  • Loss on debt extinguishment in 2023, and
  • Income taxes related to the disposal of Inliner goodwill and tax basis difference on held for sale entities in 2022 and establishment of valuation allowance in 2023.

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)

The tax effect of adjusting items was calculated using our estimated annual statutory tax rate. The tax effect of adjusting items for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 excludes the $51 million loss on debt extinguishment and $5 million non-cash impairment charges included in “Other costs, net” which are not tax deductible. The tax effect of adjusting items for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 excludes a $12 million charge related to the resolution of the SEC investigation which is not tax deductible.

(2)

Diluted weighted average shares of common stock includes the dilutive effect on net income per share attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated of the 2.75% Convertible Notes and the 3.75% Convertible Notes potentially converting into 9,099,009 shares of common stock for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023 and 7,308,848 shares of common stock for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the potential dilutive effect of 995,847 shares related to the 2.75% Convertible Notes is not included as their inclusion would be antidilutive resulting in 8,103,162 potentially converting into shares of common stock.

(3)

When calculating diluted net income attributable to common shareholders, GAAP requires that we include potential share dilution from the 2.75% Convertible Notes and the 3.75% Convertible Notes when not antidilutive. For the purposes of calculating adjusted diluted net income per share attributable to common shareholders, the dilutive effect from the 2.75% Convertible Notes and 3.75% Convertible Notes is removed to reflect the impact of the purchased equity derivative instruments which offset any potential share dilution above the $31.47 conversion price up to a share price of $53.44 for the 2.75% Convertible Notes and above the $46.12 conversion price up to a share price of $79.83 for the 3.75% Convertible Notes. The average share price did not exceed $53.44 in any period.
