CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As disclosed in the Explanatory Note and in Supplementary Data included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Form 10-K, we are restating our unaudited quarterly financial information for the first three quarters of the year ended December 31, 2022 to correct (a) errors related to deferred taxes and the calculation of income tax expense in connection with the sale of Inliner, which was completed in the first quarter of 2022 and was classified within discontinued operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations during the first and second quarters of 2022 and (b) other immaterial errors, including certain errors that had previously been adjusted for as out of period corrections.

The errors were identified by management in connection with the preparation of this Form 10-K- through our annual review control processes.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures  

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and, based on their evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, as further described below.

In connection with our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, filed on April 28, 2022, July 28, 2022 and October 27, 2022, respectively, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022.

Based upon those evaluations, our principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of those dates. Subsequent to those evaluations our principal executive and principal financial officers re-evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022, because of the material weakness described below. 

Management nonetheless determined that the consolidated financial statements and related financial information included in this Form 10-K fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates presented, and for the periods ended on such dates, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S.

GAAP”).

Management’s determination is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, management’s performance of extensive analysis and other post-closing procedures as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Management ’

s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2023, the end of the period covered by this report.

Management ’ s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d -15(f).

Internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;

(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer;

and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Internal Control-Integrated Framework  (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on this evaluation, management determined, based upon the existence of the material weakness described below, that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We did not design an effective control to assess the impact of significant and unusual discrete items on the interim tax provision, such as the divestiture of a business.

This material weakness resulted in the misstatement of our income tax expense, other costs, net and income tax payable, and in the restatement of the Company's unaudited quarterly financial information for the Restated Periods.

Additionally, this material weakness could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, using the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023.

The scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting did not include LRC/MSG as we acquired them on November 30, 2023.

The tangible assets acquired from LRC/MSG were 5% of consolidated assets as of December 31, 2023 and revenues were less than 1% of consolidated revenue during the year ended December 31, 2023.

We excluded LRC/MSG from the scope of our assessment in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s guidance that allows a recently acquired business to be omitted from the scope of the assessment for one year from the date of its acquisition.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023.

The report is included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Form 10-K under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

Their report is included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Form 10-K under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Remediation Plan

Management is committed to implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting to ensure that the material weakness is remediated.

We have evaluated the impact of the material weakness and will implement the following changes:

We will enhance our accounting for income tax controls on an interim basis to include specific activities to assess the impacts of significant and unusual transactions, such as divestitures of a business.

We will add additional reviews and approvals of the quarterly effective tax rate calculations with regard to significant and unusual transactions to ensure such discrete tax items are appropriately identified and accounted for accurately within the appropriate interim period.

While we believe that these actions will remediate the material weakness, we have not completed all of the corrective processes, procedures and related evaluation or remediation that we believe are necessary.

As we continue to evaluate and work to remediate the material weakness, we may take additional measures to address the material weakness.

Until the remediation steps set forth above, including the efforts to implement the necessary control activities we identify, are fully implemented and concluded to be operating effectively for a sufficient period of time, the material weakness described above will not be considered remediated.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Granite Construction Incorporated and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of shareholders’

equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Granite Construction Incorporated and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 , and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO because a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date related to not designing an effective control to assess the impact of significant and unusual discrete items on the interim tax provision, such as the divestiture of a business.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weakness referred to above is described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A.

We considered this material weakness in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2022 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in management’s report referred to above.

Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.

1 unchanged sentence

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. 

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;

and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;

and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Lehman-Roberts Company (“LRC”) and Memphis Stone and Gravel Company (“MSG”) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2023.

We have also excluded LRC and MSG from our audit of internal control over financial reporting.

LRC and MSG are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total tangible assets and total revenues excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting represent 5% and less than 1%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

2 unchanged sentences

Under the cost to cost method, costs incurred to-date are generally the best depiction of transfer of control.

The accuracy of the Company’s revenue and profit recognition in a given period depends on the accuracy of management’s estimates of the forecasted revenue and cost to complete each project.

Cost estimates for all significant projects use a detailed bottom up approach in which there are a number of factors that can contribute to changes in estimates of contract cost and profitability.

Under this method, revisions in estimates are accounted for in their entirety in the period of change.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to estimates of the forecasted revenue and costs to complete for multi-year fixed price contracts in the construction segment, and revisions in those estimates, is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management in forecasting project revenue and costs to complete and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to the estimates of forecasted revenue and costs to complete for multi-year fixed price contracts in the construction segment, and revisions in those estimates.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over estimates of forecasted revenue and costs to complete for multi-year fixed price contracts in the construction segment, and revisions in those estimates.

These procedures also included, among others, for a sample of contracts, evaluating and testing management’s process for determining the estimates of forecasted revenue and costs to complete, which included (i) assessing management’s ability to reasonably estimate the forecasted revenue and costs to complete by evaluating management’s methodology and assessing the consistency of management’s approach over the life of the contract and (ii) evaluating the timely identification of circumstances that may warrant a modification to estimated forecasted revenue and costs to complete.

Acquisition of LRC/MSG – Valuation of the Customer Relationships Intangible Asset

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on November 30, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of LRC/MSG for $278.0 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, plus an estimated amount related to tax make-whole agreements with the seller.

Of the acquired intangible assets, $83.9 million of customer relationships were recorded.

The fair value of customer relationships was estimated as of the acquisition date utilizing the multi-period excess earnings method.

This method discounts to present value the projected cash flows attributable to the customer relationships.

The significant estimates and assumptions used in determining the fair value included discount rates, revenue growth rates, projected EBITDA margins and customer revenue attrition rates.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the customer relationships intangible asset acquired in the acquisition of LRC/MSG is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimate of the customer relationships intangible asset acquired;

(ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the discount rate, revenue growth rates, projected EBITDA margins, and customer revenue attrition rate;

and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.

These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the customer relationships intangible asset acquired.

These procedures also included, among others (i) reading the purchase agreement;

(ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the customer relationships intangible asset acquired;

(iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method;

(iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the multi-period excess earnings method;

and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to the discount rate, revenue growth rates, projected EBITDA margins, and customer revenue attrition rate.

Evaluating the reasonableness of management’s assumptions related to revenue growth rates and projected EBITDA margins involved considering (i) the current and past performance of the acquired business;

(ii) the consistency with external market and industry data;

and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the multi-period excess earnings method and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate and customer revenue attrition rate assumptions.

Description of Business :

Granite Construction Incorporated is one of the largest diversified infrastructure companies in the United States, engaged in infrastructure projects including the construction of streets, roads, highways, mass transit facilities, airport infrastructure, bridges, dams, power-related facilities, utilities, tunnels, water well drilling and other infrastructure-related projects, site preparation, mining services and infrastructure services for commercial and industrial sites, railways, residential development, energy development, as well as construction management professional services.

Our operations have primary offices located in Alaska, Arizona, California, Canada, Colorado, Florida, Guam, Illinois, Mexico, Nevada, Texas, Utah and Washington.

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we,”

“us,”

“our,”

“Company”

and “Granite”

refer to Granite Construction Incorporated and its wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we concluded that the assets and liabilities of our former Water and Mineral Services operating group (“WMS”) met the criteria for classification as held for sale and the results of operations were presented as discontinued operations. This included:

our trenchless and pipe rehabilitation services business (“Inliner”);

our water supply, treatment, delivery and maintenance business (“Water Resources”);

and our mineral exploration drilling business (“Mineral Services”).

During the 

first  quarter of 

2022 ,  we completed the sale of Inliner. As discussed in more detail in Note 

2,  in the 

third  quarter of 

2022 ,  we determined that the remaining WMS businesses, Water Resources and Mineral Services, 

no  longer met the criteria for classification as held for sale, and therefore also 

no  longer qualified for presentation as discontinued operations.

This change to our plan of sale was due to unfavorable market conditions which undermined our efforts to secure an appropriate value for the businesses.

We reclassified WMS from discontinued operations to continuing operations and it is reported within the Mountain operating group.

The operations of the remaining WMS businesses fall within the Construction segment.

Prior periods presented in the consolidated statements of operations have been conformed to the current period presentation.

The assets and liabilities of WMS met the criteria for classification as held for sale as of 

December 31, 2021, 

therefore our consolidated balance sheet continues to reflect these assets and liabilities as held for sale as of that date.

In alphabetical order, our business operating groups are as follows:

All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Additionally, we participate in various construction joint ventures of which we are a limited member (“joint ventures”).

Additionally, we participate in various construction joint ventures of which we are a limited member (“joint ventures”).

Generally, each construction joint venture is formed to accomplish a specific project and is jointly controlled by the joint venture partners.

The joint venture agreements typically provide that our interests in any profits and assets and our respective share in any losses and liabilities that may result from the performance of the contracts are limited to our stated percentage interest in the project.

The joint venture agreements typically provide that our interests in any profits and assets and our respective share in any losses and liabilities that may result from the performance of the contracts are limited to our stated percentage interest in the project.

However, due to the joint and several nature of the performance obligations under the related owner contracts, if any of the partners fail to perform, we and the remaining partners, if any, would be responsible for performance of the outstanding work (i.e., we provide a performance guarantee).

Under our joint venture contractual arrangements, we provide capital to these joint ventures in return for an ownership interest.

In addition, partners dedicate resources to the joint ventures necessary to complete the contracts and are reimbursed for their cost.

In addition, partners dedicate resources to the joint ventures necessary to complete the contracts and are reimbursed for their cost.

The operational risks of each construction joint venture are passed along to the joint venture members.

As we absorb our share of these risks, our investment in each venture is exposed to potential gains and losses. We consolidate joint ventures if we determine that through our participation we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810, Consolidation , and related standards. The factors we use to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) may include the decision authority of each partner, which partner manages the day-to-day operations of the project and the amount of our equity investment in relation to that of our partners.

We consolidate joint ventures if we determine that through our participation we have a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 810, Consolidation , and related standards.

The factors we use to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) may include the decision authority of each partner, which partner manages the day-to-day operations of the project and the amount of our equity investment in relation to that of our partners.

Although not applicable for any of the years presented, if we determine that the power to direct the significant activities is shared equally by two or more joint venture parties, then there is no primary beneficiary and no party consolidates the VIE.

If we have determined we are not the primary beneficiary of a joint venture but do exercise significant influence, we account for our share of the operations of the unconsolidated construction joint ventures on a pro rata basis in revenue and cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.

We record the corresponding investment balance in equity in construction joint ventures in the consolidated balance sheets except when a project is in a loss position, the investment balance is recorded as a deficit in unconsolidated construction joint ventures and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Our investment in unconsolidated construction joint ventures could extend beyond one year and is within the normal operating cycle of the associated construction projects.

We account for non-construction unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and include our share of the operations in equity in income of affiliates in the consolidated statements of operations and in investment in affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets.

We also participate in “line-item”

joint venture agreements under which each partner is responsible for performing certain discrete items of the total scope of contracted work.

The revenue for each line-item joint venture partners’

discrete items of work is defined in the contract with the project owner and each joint venture partner bears the profitability risk associated only with its own work.

Our customary business practices are for the delivery of a separately identifiable good at a point in time which is typically when delivery to the customer occurs.

Contracts in our Construction segment 

may contain multiple distinct promises or multiple contracts within a master agreement (e.g., contracts that cross multiple locations/geographies and task orders), which we review at contract inception to determine if they represent multiple performance obligations or multiple separate contracts.

Contracts in our Construction segment may contain multiple distinct promises or multiple contracts within a master agreement (e.g., contracts that cross multiple locations/geographies and task orders), which we review at contract inception to determine if they represent multiple performance obligations or multiple separate contracts.

This review consists of determining if promises or groups of promises are distinct within the context of the contract, including whether contracts are physically contiguous, contain task orders, purchase or sales orders, termination clauses and/or elements not related to design and/or build.

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to the customer.

The contractual consideration from customers of our Construction segment 

may include both fixed amounts and variable amounts (e.g., bonuses/incentives or penalties/liquidated damages) to the extent that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved (i.e., probable and estimable).

The contractual consideration from customers of our Construction segment may include both fixed amounts and variable amounts (e.g., bonuses/incentives or penalties/liquidated damages) to the extent that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved (i.e., probable and estimable).

When a contract has a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is attributed to that performance obligation.

Subsequent to the inception of a contract in our Construction segment, the transaction price could change for various reasons, including executed or unapproved change orders, and unresolved contract modifications and/or affirmative claims.

Changes that are accounted for as an adjustment to existing performance obligations are allocated on the same basis at contract inception.

Changes that are accounted for as an adjustment to existing performance obligations are allocated on the same basis at

Otherwise, changes are accounted for as separate performance obligation(s) and the separate transaction price is allocated as discussed above.

Changes are made to the transaction price from unapproved change orders to the extent the amount can be reasonably estimated and recovery is probable.

On certain projects we have submitted and have pending unresolved contract modifications and/or affirmative claims (“affirmative claims”) to recover additional costs and the associated profit, if applicable, to which the Company believes it is entitled under the terms of contracts with customers, subcontractors, vendors or others.

On certain projects we have submitted and have pending unresolved contract modifications and/or affirmative claims (“affirmative claims”) to recover additional costs and the associated profit, if applicable, to which we believe we are entitled under the terms of contracts with customers, subcontractors, vendors or others.

The owners or their authorized representatives and/or other third parties may be in partial or full agreement with the modifications or affirmative claims, or may have rejected or disagree entirely or partially as to such entitlement.

Changes are made to the transaction price from affirmative claims with customers to the extent that additional revenue on a claim settlement with a customer is probable and estimable.

A reduction to costs related to affirmative claims with non-customers with whom we have a contractual arrangement (“back charges”) is recognized when the estimated recovery is probable and estimable.

Recognizing affirmative claims and back charge recoveries requires significant judgments of certain factors including, but not limited to, dispute resolution developments and outcomes, anticipated negotiation results, and the cost of resolving such matters.

Generally, performance obligations related to contracts in our Construction segment are satisfied over time because our performance typically creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced.

Generally, performance obligations related to contracts in our Construction segment are satisfied over time because our performance typically creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced.

We recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied and control of the promised good and/or service is transferred to the customer.

Under the cost to cost method, costs incurred to-date are generally the best depiction of transfer of control.

All contract costs, including those associated with affirmative claims, change orders and back charges, are recorded as incurred and revisions to estimated total costs are reflected as soon as the obligation to perform is determined. Contract costs consist of direct costs on contracts, including labor and materials, amounts payable to subcontractors, direct overhead costs and equipment expense (primarily depreciation, fuel, maintenance and repairs).

Contract costs consist of direct costs on contracts, including labor and materials, amounts payable to subcontractors, direct overhead costs and equipment expense (primarily depreciation, fuel, maintenance and repairs).

The accuracy of our revenue and profit recognition in a given period depends on the accuracy of our estimates of the forecasted revenue and cost to complete each project.

Cost estimates for all of our significant projects use a detailed “bottom up”

approach. There are a number of factors that can contribute to revisions in estimates of contract cost and profitability.

The foregoing factors, as well as the stage of completion of contracts in process and the mix of contracts at different margins may cause fluctuations in gross profit and gross profit margin from period to period.

Significant changes in revenue and cost estimates, particularly in our larger, more complex, multi-year projects have had, and can in future periods have, a significant effect on our profitability.

All state and federal government contracts and many of our other contracts provide for termination of the contract at the convenience of the party contracting with us, with provisions to pay us for work performed through the date of termination including demobilization cost.

Costs to obtain our contracts (“pre-bid costs”) that are not expected to be recovered from the customer are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

Although unusual, pre-bid costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer even if the contract is not obtained are included in accounts receivable in our consolidated balance sheets when we are notified that we are not the low bidder with a corresponding reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

Our access to joint venture cash may be limited by the provisions of the joint venture agreements.

Contract Assets:

Our contract assets include costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings as well as amounts due under contractual retention provisions.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings represent amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts, including customer affirmative claim recovery estimates, and have a conditional right for billing and payment such as achievement of milestones or completion of the project.

Generally, with the exception of customer affirmative claims, such unbilled amounts will become billable according to the contract terms and generally will be billed and collected over the next twelve months.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings represent amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts, including customer affirmative claim recovery estimates, and have a conditional right for billing and payment such as achievement of milestones or completion of the project.

Generally, with the exception of customer affirmative claims, such unbilled amounts will become billable according to the contract terms and generally will be billed and collected over the next twelve months.

Settlement with the customer of outstanding affirmative claims is dependent on the claims resolution process and could extend beyond one year.

Based on our historical experience, we generally consider the collection risk related to billable amounts to be low.

However, when events or conditions indicate that it is probable that the amounts become unbillable, the transaction price and associated contract asset is reduced. Certain contracts in our Construction segment include retention provisions to provide assurance to our customers that we will perform in accordance with the contract terms and are not considered a financing benefit under ASC Topic 606.

To receive hedge accounting treatment, derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions.

We formally document our hedge relationships at inception, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction, and the initial quantitative assessment of the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items.

The effective portion of the gain or loss on cash flow hedges is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified to the consolidated statements of operations when the periodic hedged cash flows are settled. Adjustments to fair value on derivative instruments that are 

not  part of a designated hedging relationship are reported through the consolidated statements of operations. We do

We account for our share of the operating results of the equity method investments in equity in income from affiliates, net in the consolidated statements of operations and as a single line item in the consolidated balance sheets as investments in affiliates.

Our investments in affiliates include foreign entities, real estate entities and an asphalt terminal entity.

These investments are evaluated for impairment using the other-than-temporary impairment model, which requires an impairment charge to be recognized if our investment’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, and the decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary.

Recoverability is measured by comparison of carrying amounts to future undiscounted cash flows the investments are expected to generate.

Events or changes in circumstances, which would cause us to review undiscounted future cash flows include, but are not limited to:

significant adverse changes in legal factors or the business climate and

• significant adverse changes in legal factors or the business climate and

Future undiscounted cash flows and fair value assessments for our real estate entities are estimated based on entitlement status, market conditions, cost of construction, debt load, development schedules, status of joint venture partners and other factors applicable to the specific project.

Fair value is estimated based on the expected future cash flows attributable to the asset or group of assets and on other assumptions that market participants would use in determining fair value, such as market discount rates, transaction prices for other comparable assets, and other market data.

Our estimates of cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among other things, fluctuations in interest rates, decisions made by jurisdictional agencies, economic conditions, or changes to our business operations. 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the entities within our investments in foreign affiliates experienced other than temporary declines in fair value, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $ 9.6 million.

We review property and equipment and amortizable intangible assets for impairment at an asset group level whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable.

Recoverability of these asset groups is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset groups are expected to generate.

If the asset groups are considered to be impaired, an impairment charge will be recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds fair value.

If the asset groups are considered to be impaired, an impairment charge will be recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds fair value.

Any excess of purchase price over the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.

The determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires us to make estimates and use valuation techniques when a market value is not readily available.

As of December 31, 2023 , we had seven reporting units in which goodwill was recorded as follows:

• Central Group Construction

We perform our goodwill impairment tests annually as of November 1 and more frequently when events and circumstances occur that indicate a possible impairment of goodwill.

Examples of such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, the following: 

• a significant adverse change in the business climate;

a significant adverse change in legal factors or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;

• a significant adverse change in legal factors or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator;

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles –

Goodwill and Other, we can elect to perform a qualitative assessment to test a reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment or perform a quantitative impairment test.

In the third quarter of 2023, in connection with our decision to wind down our international Mineral Services operations, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test on the Mountain Group Construction reporting unit, which resulted in a $ 4.5 million non-cash impairment charge.

This charge is included in Other costs, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, we can elect to perform a qualitative assessment to test a reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment or perform a quantitative impairment test.

Based on a qualitative assessment, if we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test will be performed.

2 unchanged sentences

If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired.

If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, goodwill is impaired and the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying amount over the fair value is recognized as a non-cash impairment charge.

Judgments inherent in these methods include the determination of appropriate discount rates, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, revenue and margin growth rates, and appropriate benchmark companies. The cash flows used in our 

2022  discounted cash flow model were based on five -year financial forecasts developed internally by management adjusted for market participant-based assumptions.

Our discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the equity cost of capital and appropriate capital structure for our reporting units. To assess for reasonableness, we compare the estimated fair values of the reporting units to our current market capitalization.

For our 2022 annual goodwill impairment test, we elected to perform a qualitative assessment of the Central Group Materials, Mountain Group Construction, Mountain Group Materials and California Group Construction reporting units and we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair values were greater than the carrying amounts;

therefore, no quantitative goodwill impairment test was performed for these reporting units.

Factors we considered in our qualitative assessment were macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, changes in management or key personnel, changes in strategy, changes in customers and changes in the composition or carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets.

A quantitative impairment test was conducted for the Central Group Construction reporting unit, and we concluded that goodwill was not impaired.

The assessment indicated that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount (i.e., headroom) by over 80 %.

In the third quarter of 2022, in connection with our decision to retain the Water Resources and Mineral Services businesses, we performed impairment tests on the goodwill balances that had been previously held for sale.

We concluded that goodwill was not impaired and therefore it was reclassified as held and used at its carrying amount before being classified as held for sale. The assessment indicated the estimated fair value exceeded its carrying amount by approximately 40 %. At December 31, 2022, the goodwill associated with Water Resources and Mineral Services was included within the Mountain Group Construction reporting unit.

For our 2021 annual goodwill impairment test, we conducted quantitative impairment tests based on the operating structure in place at November 1, 2021.

Due to changes in our reporting structure and resulting changes to our reporting units in 2021, we conducted impairment tests immediately before and after the reorganization, which was effective December 1, 2021.

Based on the results of the tests performed, we concluded that goodwill was not impaired at either date since the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying amount.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, our goodwill impairment tests resulted in a total impairment charge of $ 147.1 million, which is included in Non-cash impairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations.

The amount of operational exposure is generally limited to our stated ownership interest.

However, due to the joint and several nature of the performance obligations under the related owner contracts, if any of the partners fail to perform, we and the remaining partners, if any, would be responsible for performance of the outstanding work (i.e., we provide a performance guarantee).

Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Disproportionate income tax effects which are stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income will be released using the item-by-item approach.

We report a liability in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Computation of Earnings per Share :

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.

Dilutive potential common shares include common share equivalents under the equity incentive plans and common share equivalents issuable under our 2.75% Convertible Notes using the if-converted method.

Dilutive potential common shares also include common share equivalents issuable under the terms of our warrants assuming the share price of our common stock was in excess of $ 53.44 , the exercise price of warrants.

See Note 14  for further discussion related to the 2.75% Convertible Notes and warrants.

Convertible Notes : U.S.

GAAP requires certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion to be separately accounted for into liability and equity components in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate.

Third party offering costs are allocated to the liability and equity components based on allocation of proceeds to those components and are recorded net of the associated balances on the consolidated balance sheets and are generally amortized to interest expense through the maturity date of the debt. Therefore, cash received from the issuance of the 2.75% Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 14 ) was separated into liability and equity components on the consolidated balance sheets at the time of issuance based on the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature.

The difference between the principal amount and the liability component on the issuance date has been recorded to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 6.62 % over the expected life of the 2.75% Convertible Notes.

Debt discounts are recorded to the liability component through the maturity date of the debt.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

 We closely monitor all ASUs issued by the FASB and other authoritative guidance. There are currently no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

August 2020 ,  the FASB issued ASU 

2020 - 06 ,  which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments resulting in accounting for convertible debt instruments as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and ASU 2020 - 06  is applicable to our 

2.75% convertible senior notes due 

In addition, ASU 

2020 - 06  requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and eliminates the treasury stock method for convertible debt.

We adopted ASU 

2020 - 06  effective 

January 1, 2022 ,  using the modified retrospective transition approach under which financial results reported in prior periods were 

not  adjusted.

Upon adoption, we recorded a net cumulative increase to debt of approximately $ 22.0  million and to deferred tax assets of $ 5.6  million, offset by a decrease to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings of $ 16.4  million (See Note 14 for details).

March 2020, 

the FASB issued ASU 

2020 - 04,  which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for the effects of the transition away from LIBOR and other reference rates.

Also, in 

January 2021, 

the FASB issued ASU 

2021 - 01,  which provided clarification guidance to ASU 

 We adopted these ASUs during the quarter ended 

June 30, 2022, 

in conjunction with entering into our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) (see Note 

14 ), which replaced the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for purposes of setting floating interest rates.

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022 - 06, which extends the period of time preparers can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance established in ASU 2020 - 04.

The adoption of these ASUs did 

not  have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

As discussed in Note 1, during the fourth quarter of 2021, we concluded the assets and liabilities of our former WMS businesses met the criteria for classification as held for sale.

This included:

Inliner, Water Resources and Mineral Services.

We concluded the planned disposal activities represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our operations and financial results and qualified for presentation as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC Topic 205 - 20, Presentation of financial statements - Discontinued operations . Additionally, beginning December 31, 2021, in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment , we ceased recording depreciation and amortization for WMS property, plant and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets and right of use lease assets.

During the first quarter of 2022 ,  we completed the sale of Inliner to Inland Pipe Rehabilitation LLC (“IPR”) and 

1000097155  Ontario Inc.

(“Ontario” and together with IPR, the “Purchasers”), investment affiliates of J.F.

Lehman & Company, for a purchase price of $ 159.7 million, subject to certain adjustments.

As a result of the sale and post-closing adjustments, we received cash proceeds of $ 140.6 million and recognized a gain of $ 1.8  million.

This gain is included in Other costs, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. 

third  quarter of 

2022 ,  we announced our decision to retain the Water Resources and Mineral Services businesses.

This change to our plan of sale was due to unfavorable market conditions which undermined our efforts to secure an appropriate value for the businesses.

As a result, we have reclassified WMS from discontinued operations to continuing operations for all periods presented.

At the time of the change, we recorded an entry to adjust for depreciation and amortization that would have been recognized if the unsold businesses had been continually classified as held and used from the beginning of the year.

The assets and liabilities of WMS met the criteria for classification as held for sale as of 

December 31, 2021, 

therefore our consolidated balance sheet continues to reflect these assets and liabilities as held for sale as of that date.

The following table presents summarized balance sheet information of assets and liabilities held for sale:

Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.

Dilutive potential common shares include common share equivalents under the equity incentive plans and common share equivalents issuable under our 3.75 % Convertible Notes and 2.75 % Convertible Notes using the if-converted method.

Dilutive potential common shares also include common share equivalents issuable under the terms of our warrants assuming the share price of our common stock was in excess of $ 53.44 , the exercise price of warrants.

See Note 14 for further discussion related to the 3.75 % Convertible Notes, 2.75 % Convertible Notes and warrants.

Convertible Notes :

ASU 2020-06 simplified the accounting for convertible instruments resulting in accounting for convertible debt instruments as a single liability measured at its amortized cost.

We adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective transition approach under which financial results reported in prior periods were not adjusted.

Upon adoption of this new accounting guidance, the 2.75 % Convertible Notes were accounted for entirely as a liability, and the issuance costs were accounted for wholly as debt issuance costs.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:

We closely monitor all ASUs issued by the FASB and other authoritative guidance.

There are currently no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60):

Recognition and Initial Measurement , which requires that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation.

As a result, a newly formed joint venture, upon formation, would initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value.

This ASU is effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025.

We plan to adopt this ASU in the first quarter of 2025, but do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances the disclosures regarding an entity’s reportable segments and addresses requests from investors and other allocators of capital for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses.

This ASU is effective retrospectively commencing with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2024, and quarterly periods thereafter.

We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740):

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction.

It also includes certain other amendments intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures.

These new disclosure requirements are effective prospectively commencing with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2025.

We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On November 30, 2023 (“acquisition date”), we completed the acquisition of LRC/MSG for $ 278.0 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, plus an estimated amount related to tax make-whole agreements with the seller.

We purchased all of the outstanding equity interests in LRC/MSG and the purchase price was funded by our new $ 150.0 million senior secured term loan, as described further in Note 14, a draw of $ 100 million under our existing revolver and the remainder from cash on hand.

The acquired businesses are longstanding asphalt paving and asphalt and aggregates producers and suppliers.

LRC/MSG operates strategically located asphalt plants and sand and gravel mines serving the greater Memphis area and northern Mississippi.

The buyer of LRC/MSG, Granite Southeast, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Construction Incorporated.

LRC/MSG's results are reported in the Central operating group in both the Construction and Materials segments.

The Central operating group is most similar in geography, and LRC/MSG's 2023 operating results were not material.

LRC/MSG’s customers are in both the public and private sector.

We have accounted for this transaction in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).

Table o f C o n t e n t s

We have included LRC/MSG's operating results in our consolidated statements of operations since the acquisition date.

Revenue attributable to LRC/MSG for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $ 7.7 million and the loss before taxes for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $ 2.3 million.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

In accordance with ASC 805, the total purchase price and assumed liabilities were allocated to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of November 30, 2023, as presented in the table below.

These estimates are subject to revision, which may result in adjustments to the values presented below.

There are certain provisional estimates that are subject to finalization, one of which is related to tax make-whole agreements with the seller of approximately $ 22.0 million, which will be finalized upon the former owners of LRC/MSG paying their personal tax burden related to the sale of the businesses.

As we continue to integrate the acquired business, we may obtain additional information on the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible net assets which, if significant, may require revisions to preliminary valuation assumptions, estimates and resulting fair values.

We expect to finalize these amounts within 12 months from the acquisition date.

Goodwill 80,826

Estimated purchase price $ 303,778

In addition, on April 24, 2023, we completed the purchase of Coast Mountain Resources (2020) Ltd.

(“CMR”) for $ 26.6 million.

CMR is a construction aggregate producer based in British Columbia, Canada operating on Malahat First Nation land.

This acquisition did not have a material impact on our results of operations.

The tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were approximately $ 28.5 million and $ 7.1 million, respectively, resulting in acquired goodwill of $ 5.1 million.

The tangible assets balance consists primarily of equipment, vehicles and the right-to-mine which are reported in Property and equipment, net.

CMR results are reported in the Mountain operating group in the Materials segment.

Intangible assets

The following table lists amortized intangible assets from the LRC/MSG acquisition that are included in intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

Table o f C o n t e n t s

Useful Lives (Years) Gross Value Accumulated Amortization Net Value

Customer relationships 20 $ 83,860 $ ( 349 ) $ 83,511

Backlog 1 7,800 ( 600 ) 7,200

Trademarks/trade name 10 12,000 ( 100 ) 11,900

Permits 10 7,000 ( 58 ) 6,942

Total intangible assets $ 110,660 $ ( 1,107 ) $ 109,553

The fair value of customer relationships was estimated as of the acquisition date utilizing the multi-period excess earnings method.

This method discounts to present value the projected cash flows attributable to the customer relationships.

The significant estimates and assumptions used in determining the fair value included discount rates, revenue growth rates, projected EBITDA margins and customer revenue attrition rates.

The net amortization expense related to the acquired amortized intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2023 was included in cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations .

All of the acquired intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis.

Amortization expense related to the acquired amortized intangible asset balances at December 31, 2023 is expected to be recorded in th e future as follows:

$ 13.3 million in 2024;

$ 6.1 million in 2025;

$ 6.1 million in 2026;

$ 6.1 million in 2027;

$ 6.1 million in 2028;

and $ 71.9 million thereafter.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets.

The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill from the acquisitions of LRC/MSG and CMR include strengthening and expanding our vertically integrated home markets.

For the LRC/MSG acquisition, we recorded $ 80.8 million of goodwill which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

$ 63.0 million and $ 17.8 million were allocated to our Construction and Materials segments, respectively.

For the CMR acquisition, we rec orded $ 5.1 million in goodwill that was allocated to our Materials segment and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of Granite and LRC/MSG as though the companies had been combined as of January 1, 2022.

The CMR acquisition is not included in the pro forma financial information as the effects of the business would not have a material impact.

The pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2022, nor does it intend to be a projection of future results.

Years Ended December 31, 2023 2022

(unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts)

Revenue $ 3,720,449 $ 3,485,186

Net income $ 55,025 $ 72,219

Basic net income per share attributable to common shareholders $ 1.25 $ 1.62

Diluted net income per share attributable to common shareholders $ 1.19 $ 1.49

These amounts have been calculated after applying Granite’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of LRC/MSG to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been recorded assuming the fair value adjustments to property and equipment and intangible assets had been applied starting on January 1, 2022.

Additionally, these amounts reflect adjustment for additional interest that would have been incurred as a result of incurring debt for the acquisition over the periods in the pro forma financial information.

Acquisition and integration expenses related to LRC/MSG that were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2023 are reflected in the year ended December 31, 2022 due to the assumed timing of the transaction.

The statutory tax rate of 26% was used for both 2023 and 2022 for the pro forma adjustments.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred $ 5.0 million of acquisition and integration expenses associated with the LRC/MSG and CMR acquisitions which were primarily related to professional services.

Revisions in Estimates

Our profit recognition related to construction contracts is based on estimates of transaction price and costs to complete each project.

These estimates can vary significantly in the normal course of business as projects progress, circumstances develop and evolve, and uncertainties are resolved. Changes in estimates of transaction price and costs to complete 

may result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue if the current estimate adversely differs from the previous estimate. In addition, the estimated or actual recovery related to estimated costs associated with unresolved affirmative claims and back charges 

be recorded in future periods or 

be at values below the associated cost, which can cause fluctuations in the gross profit impact from revisions in estimates.

In addition, the estimated or actual recovery related to estimated costs associated with unresolved affirmative claims and back charges may be recorded in future periods or may be at values below the associated cost, which can cause fluctuations in the gross profit impact from revisions in estimates.

When we experience significant revisions in our estimates, we undergo a process that includes reviewing the nature of the changes to ensure that there are no material amounts that should have been recorded in a prior period rather than as revisions in estimates for the current period.

For revisions in estimates, generally we use the cumulative catch-up method for changes to the transaction price that are part of a single performance obligation. Under this method, revisions in estimates are accounted for in their entirety in the period of change.

There can be no assurance that we will not experience further changes in circumstances or otherwise be required to revise our estimates in the future.

December 31,  

2021  and

Contract Assets and Liabilities

As a result of changes in contract transaction price related to performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied prior to the end of the periods we recognized revenue of $ 182.8  million, $ 153.9  million and $ 176.1  million during the years ended December 31,  

2021  and 2020 , respectively. The changes in contract transaction price were from items such as executed or estimated change orders and unresolved contract modifications and claims.

The increase in contract assets is primarily due to unresolved disputed work and increased retention balances related to certain ongoing projects. As of 

December 31,  

2022  and 

2021 , contract retention receivable from Brightline Trains Florida LLC represented 

11.7 %, and

Construction Joint Ventures

We participate in various construction joint ventures.

On May 11, 2023, we issued $ 373.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75 % Convertible Notes.

The 3.75 % Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75 % per annum payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2023 and mature on May 15, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 15, 2027, the 3.75 % Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods.

Thereafter, the 3.75 % Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 3.75 % Convertible Notes is 21.6807 shares of Granite common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.75 % Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $ 46.12 per share of Granite common stock, subject to adjustment if certain events occur.

Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Granite common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Granite common stock, at our election.

In addition, upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the 3.75 % Convertible Notes, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 3.75 % Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the 3.75 % Convertible Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

If certain corporate events that constitute a “make-whole fundamental change” as set forth in the indenture governing the 3.75 % Convertible Notes occur prior to the maturity date of the 3.75 % Convertible Notes or if we deliver a notice of redemption, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 3.75 % Convertible Notes in connection with such event or notice of redemption.

We will not be able to redeem the 3.75 % Convertible Notes prior to May 20, 2026.

On or after May 20, 2026, we have the option to redeem for cash all or any portion of the 3.75 % Convertible Notes if the last reported sale price of our common stock is equal to or greater than 130 % of the conversion price for a specified period of time at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the 3.75 % Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The indenture governing the 3.75 % Convertible Notes contains customary events of default.

In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to us or our significant subsidiaries, all outstanding 3.75 % Convertible Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.

If any other event of default occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75 % Convertible Notes then outstanding may declare the 3.75 % Convertible Notes due and payable immediately.

The net proceeds from the sale of the 3.75 % Convertible Notes were approximately $ 364.4 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount.

We used approximately $ 53.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of the Capped Call Transactions (as described below).

In addition, we used approximately $ 198.8 million of the net proceeds and issued 1,390,500 shares of Granite common stock in exchange for approximately $ 198.7 million aggregate principal amount of our 2.75 % Convertible Notes concurrent with the offering in separate and individually negotiated transactions (the "Exchange Transaction").

In connection with the Exchange Transaction, we entered into partial unwind agreements (the “Unwind Agreements”) with certain financial institutions to unwind a portion of the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions entered into in connection with the offering of the 2.75 % Convertible Notes (the “Unwind Transactions”).

Pursuant to the Unwind Agreements, we received 1,390,516 shares of our common stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares) in respect of the unwind of the portion of the existing convertible note hedge transactions that correspond to the 2.75 % Convertible Notes that were exchanged in the Exchange Transaction described above and paid $ 13.2 million in cash in respect of the unwind of the portion of the existing warrant transactions that correspond to the 2.75 % Convertible Notes that were exchanged in the Exchange Transaction described above.

Capped Call Transactions

In May 2023, we entered into capped call transactions (the "Capped Call Transactions") in connection with the offering of the 3.75 % Convertible Notes.

The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the 3.75 % Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 3.75 % Convertible Notes, as the case may be.

If, however, the market price

Table o f C o n t e n t s

per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, exceeds the cap price ($ 79.83 ) of the Capped Call Transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the Capped Call Transactions.

2.75 % Convertible Notes

The 2.75 % Convertible Notes were issued in November 2019 in an aggregate principal amount of $ 230.0 million, with an interest rate of 2.75 % and a maturity date of November 1, 2024, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.

The 2.75% Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders prior to May 1, 2024 only during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain events.

After May 1, 2024, the 2.75% Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time until the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

The 2.75 % Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders prior to the close of business on the business day before May 1, 2024 only during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain events.

After May 1, 2024, the 2.75 % Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.

The conversion rate applicable to the 2.75 % Convertible Notes is 31.7776 shares of Granite common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2.75 % Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $ 31.47 per share of Granite common stock.

Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver shares of Granite common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Granite common stock, at our election.

In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change”

as defined in the indenture governing the 2.75% Convertible Notes, (the “Indenture”) we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2.75% Convertible Notes in connection with such a make-whole fundamental change.

Upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change”

as defined in the Indenture, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2.75% Convertible Notes at a price equal to 100 % of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

In addition, as described in the Indenture, certain events of default including, but not limited to, bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, may result in the 2.75% Convertible Notes becoming due and payable immediately.

2022  and 

2021 , the balance in long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets of the 2.75% Convertible Notes, excluding debt issuance costs, including $- million and $ 14.8  million, respectively, of amortized debt discount, was $ 230.0  million and $ 207.4  million, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, we did not grant any stock options or restricted stock awards and as of December 31, 2023, there were no stock options or restricted stock awards outstanding.

Restricted Stock Units:

RSUs are issued for compensatory purposes.

RSU stock compensation cost is measured at our common stock’s fair value based on the market price at the date of grant.

We recognize stock compensation cost only for RSUs that we estimate will ultimately vest.

We estimate the number of shares that will ultimately vest at each grant date based on our historical experience and adjust stock compensation cost based on changes in those estimates over time.

RSU stock compensation cost is recognized ratably over the shorter of the vesting period (generally ranging from immediate vesting to three years) or the period from grant date to the first maturity date after the holder reaches age 62 and has completed certain specified years of service, when all RSUs become fully vested.

Vesting of RSUs is not subject to any market or performance conditions and vesting provisions are at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

A recipient of RSUs 

may not sell or otherwise transfer unvested RSUs and, in the event a recipient’s employment or board service is terminated prior to the end of the vesting period, any unvested RSUs are surrendered to us, subject to limited exceptions.

A summary of the changes in our RSUs during the years ended

The majority of the variance from the statutory tax rate in 2022 is due to the tax benefit associated with the reversal of net deferred tax liabilities related to businesses no longer held for sale and the release of valuation allowances related to the utilization of capital loss carryforwards.

These were partially offset by nondeductible goodwill associated with the sale of Inliner and the impact of the relative change in income before income taxes to the provision for income taxes.

The total liabilities for legal proceedings were immaterial as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The total range of possible loss related to (i) matters considered reasonably possible, and (ii) reasonably possible amounts in excess of accrued losses recorded for probable loss contingencies, including those related to liquidated damages, could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements if they become probable and the reasonably estimable amount is determined.

Ordinary Course Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we and our affiliates are involved in various legal proceedings alleging, among other things, liability issues or breach of contract or tortious conduct in connection with the performance of services and/or materials provided, the various outcomes of which often cannot be predicted with certainty.

For information on our accounting policies regarding affirmative claims and back charges that we are party to in the ordinary course of business, see Note 

 We and our affiliates are also subject to government inquiries in the ordinary course of business seeking information concerning our compliance with government construction contracting requirements and various laws and regulations, the outcomes which often cannot be predicted with certainty.

Some of the matters in which we or our joint ventures and affiliates are involved 

involve compensatory, punitive, or other claims or sanctions that, if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that are 

not  probable to be incurred or cannot currently be reasonably estimated.

In addition, in some circumstances our government contracts could be terminated, we could be suspended, debarred or incur other administrative penalties or sanctions, or payment of our costs could be disallowed. While any of our pending legal proceedings 

be subject to early resolution as a result of our ongoing efforts to resolve the proceedings, whether or when any legal proceeding will be resolved is neither predictable nor guaranteed.

Securities Litigation and Derivative Lawsuits

On August 13, 2019, a securities class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, James H.

Roberts, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, and Jigisha Desai, our former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer.

An amended complaint was filed on February 20, 2020 that, among other things, added Laurel Krzeminski, our former Chief Financial Officer, as a defendant.

The amended complaint was brought on behalf of an alleged class of persons or entities that acquired our common stock between April 30, 2018 and October 24, 2019, and alleged claims arising under Sections 10 (b) and 20 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b - 5 thereunder.

After the filing of the amended complaint, this case was re-titled Police Retirement System of St.

Granite Construction Incorporated, et.

The amended complaint sought damages based on allegations that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts in the Company’s SEC filings about its business, operations and prospects. On January 21, 2021, the court granted the plaintiff’s motion for class certification.

On October 23, 2019, a putative class action lawsuit, titled Nasseri v.

Granite Construction Incorporated, et.

, was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Cruz against the Company, James H.

Roberts, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, Laurel Krzeminski, our former Chief Financial Officer, and the then-serving Board of Directors on behalf of persons who acquired shares of Company common stock in the Company’s June 2018 merger with Layne Christensen Company (“Layne”).

The complaint asserted causes of action under the Securities Act of 1933 and alleged that the registration statement and prospectus were negligently prepared and included materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose facts required to be disclosed and seeks monetary damages based on the allegations.

On April 29, 2021, we entered into a stipulation of settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to settle Police Retirement System of St.

Granite Construction Incorporated, et al.

The Settlement Agreement also settled claims alleged in Nasseri v.

Granite Construction Incorporated, et al.

Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay or cause to be paid a total of $ 129 million in cash, $ 63 million of which was paid through insurance proceeds, to a settlement fund that would pay all settlement fees and expenses, attorneys’

fees and expenses, and cash payments to members of the settlement class.

The settlement class agreed to release us, the other defendants named in the lawsuits and certain of their respective related parties from any and all claims, rights, causes of action, liabilities, actions, suits, damages or demands of any kind whatsoever, that relate in any way to the purchase, acquisition, holding, sale or disposition of our common stock during the period between February 17, 2017 and October 24, 2019 that arose out of or are based upon or related to the facts alleged or the claims or allegations set forth in Police Retirement System of St.

Granite Construction Incorporated, et al .

or relate in any way to any alleged violation of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any other state, federal or foreign jurisdiction’s securities or other laws, any alleged misstatement, omission or disclosure (including in financial statements) or other alleged securities-related wrongdoing or misconduct, including all claims alleged in Nasseri v.

Granite Construction Incorporated, et al .

The Settlement Agreement contained no admission of liability, wrongdoing or responsibility by any of the parties. As a result of entering into the Settlement Agreement, we recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $ 66 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

On October 6, 2021, the court issued an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement and, pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, $ 129 million was paid to the settlement escrow account.

$ 66 million was paid by the Company and $ 63 million was paid through insurance proceeds.

The total $ 129 million was included in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 

as an accrued liability and as a deposit in other current assets.

Members of the settlement class had the opportunity to object to the settlement at a fairness hearing held by the court to determine whether the settlement should be finally approved and whether the proposed order and final judgment should be entered.

The fairness hearing occurred on February 24, 2022.

On March 17, 2022, the court granted final approval of the settlement, granted the request for attorneys’

fees by class representative's counsel, granted in part and denied in part the request for attorneys’

fees by the plaintiff in Nasseri v.

Granite Construction Incorporated, et al.

, and entered final judgment.

On April 29, 2022, the Superior Court granted the request by plaintiff in Nasseri v.

Granite Construction Incorporated, et al . that the Nasseri case be dismissed with prejudice in light of the final approval of the settlement.

On December 15, 2022, the court approved the plaintiffs’

application to release payments to the class from the settlement fund. As a result, we removed the accrued liability and deposit from our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022.

On May 6, 2020, a stockholder derivative lawsuit, titled English v.

Roberts, et al.

, was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against James H.

Roberts, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, Jigisha Desai, our former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, Laurel Krzeminski, our former Chief Financial Officer, and our then-current Board of Directors, and the Company, as a nominal defendant, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that allegedly occurred between April 30, 2018 and October 24, 2019.

The lawsuit alleged that the individual defendants each knowingly inflated the Company’s revenue, income, and margins in violation of U.S.

GAAP, which caused the results during the relevant periods to be materially false and misleading.

The complaint sought monetary damages and corporate governance reforms.

On May 12, 2021, a stockholder derivative lawsuit, titled Davydov v.

Roberts, et al.

, was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against James H.

Roberts, Jigisha Desai, Laurel Krzeminski, Craig Hall, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Compliance Officer, and Secretary, and our then-current Board of Directors, and the Company, as a nominal defendant, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty that allegedly occurred between April 30, 2018 and October 24, 2019.

The lawsuit alleged that the individual defendants each knowingly inflated the Company’s revenue, income, and margins in violation of U.S.

GAAP, which caused the results during the relevant periods to be materially false and misleading.

The complaint sought monetary damages and corporate governance reforms.

On April 14, 2022, the parties in Davydov v.

Roberts et al.

, the plaintiff in English v.

Roberts et al.

, and the Company entered into a Stipulation of Compromise and Settlement providing that (i) defendants will cause insurers to pay $ 7.5 million, which amount, less court-awarded attorneys’

fees and expenses, will be paid to the Company, (ii) the Company shall implement agreed upon corporate governance provisions within 30 days of final approval of the settlement, and (iii) all claims that were asserted or could have been asserted against the defendants or their related persons in Davydov v.

Roberts, et al.

, or any other proceeding on behalf of the Davydov plaintiff, the English plaintiff, the Company or any Granite stockholder, will be released.

On April 14, 2022, the plaintiff in Davydov v.

Roberts, et al .

filed the Stipulation of Compromise and Settlement and a proposed scheduling order for a hearing in the Delaware Court of Chancery for review of the settlement.

The Delaware Court of Chancery held a fairness hearing concerning its review of the settlement on July 12, 2022.

On July 27, 2022, the Court in Davydov v.

Roberts, et al.

entered an order and final judgment approving the terms of the Stipulation of Compromise and Settlement and dismissed the case with prejudice.

On July 28, 2022, the Court in English v.

Roberts, et al.

entered a stipulation and order of dismissal that dismissed the case with prejudice.

The Company received a payment of $ 5.0 million for the settlement, which was net of court-awarded attorneys' fees and expenses, that was recorded in Other costs, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 ( other than the Settlement Agreement charge described above), we did not record any liability related to the above matters because we concluded such liabilities were resolved or not probable and the amounts of such liabilities were not reasonably estimable.

Other Matters

In connection with our prior disclosure of the Audit/Compliance Committee’s independent investigation of prior-period reporting for the former Heavy Civil operating group and the extent to which those matters affected the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (the “Investigation”), we voluntarily contacted the San Francisco office of the SEC Division of Enforcement regarding the Investigation.

The SEC issued subpoenas for documents in connection with the accounting issues identified in the Investigation.

We produced documents to the SEC and fully cooperated with the SEC in its investigation.

In the second quarter of 2022, we recorded a $ 12 million charge for the expected resolution of this investigation which was reflected in Other costs, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

During the third quarter of 2022, we reached a settlement with the SEC.

Under the terms of the settlement, we, without admitting or denying any allegations made by the SEC, agreed to pay a civil penalty of $ 12 million and to be enjoined from violating specified provisions of the federal securities laws and rules promulgated thereunder.

On August 25, 2022, the SEC filed a complaint against us, along with our consent to the entry of judgment in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and requested entry of judgment.

Judgment concluding and resolving this matter in its entirety was entered on September 9, 2022, and on September 16, 2022, we paid the $ 12 million penalty.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Layne, was a subcontractor on the foundation for the Salesforce Tower office building in San Francisco in 

2013  and 

 Certain anomalies were discovered in 

March 2014 

in the foundation’s structural concrete, which were remediated by the general contractor during 

 Layne assigned any insurance claims it 

have had under the project’s builder’s risk insurance policy to the general contractor.

2014,  the project owner and the general contractor submitted a claim to the project’s builder’s risk insurers to cover the cost of remedial work and related damages.

The claim was denied by the builder’s risk insurers.

The project owner and the general contractor subsequently filed a legal proceeding against the insurers seeking coverage under the builder’s risk insurance policy, which proceeding was then transferred by agreement to arbitration. On July 20, 2021, we were informed of an arbitration award denying insurance coverage for claims related to the remedial measures undertaken by the general contractor of the Salesforce Tower and related damages.

Although we were 

not  a party to this legal proceeding, we believe, based on court filings and developments in the arbitration, that the project owner and the general contractor asserted a claim for damages against the project’s builder’s risk insurers for an amount in excess of $ 100  million.

On February 3, 2022, a lawsuit titled Steadfast Insurance Company ( “

Steadfast ”

), a subrogee of Clark/Hathaway Dinwiddie, a Joint Venture ( “

CHDJV ”

Layne Christensen Company ( “

Layne ”

) , was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco, seeking damages of approximately $ 70 million for costs incurred by Steadfast on behalf of CHDJV to cure Layne’s allegedly defective work on the foundation of the Salesforce Tower. On February 4, 2022, CHDJV submitted an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association against Granite Construction Incorporated seeking to recover approximately $ 30 million for costs incurred by CHDJV to cure Layne’s allegedly defective work on the foundation of the Salesforce Tower. CHDJV subsequently dismissed Granite and added Layne as a respondent to the arbitration.

March 8, 2022, 

we filed a motion to dismiss the CHDJV arbitration. On 

April 8, 2022, 

we filed a demurrer seeking to dismiss the Steadfast lawsuit.

May 6, 2022, 

CHDJV consolidated its claims with those of Steadfast and joined as a plaintiff in the Steadfast lawsuit, and on 

May 16, 2022, 

the arbitration was stayed. On 

June 14, 2022, 

we filed a demurrer to the amended complaint seeking to dismiss the claims of both Steadfast and CHDJV.

August 24, 2022, 

the court overruled our demurrer.

We believe Layne has multiple defenses and counterclaims to the claims at issue. Layne intends to vigorously defend against the claims and prosecute its counterclaims, but we cannot provide assurance that Layne will be successful in these efforts.

not  believe it is probable this matter will result in a material loss, however, if we are unsuccessful, we believe the range of reasonably possible loss upon final resolution of this matter could be up to approximately $ 100 million.

Salesforce Tower Matter

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Layne Christensen Company ("Layne"), was a subcontractor on the foundation for the Salesforce Tower office building in San Francisco in 2013 and 2014.

Certain anomalies were discovered in March 2014 in the foundation’s structural concrete, which were remediated by the general contractor during 2015.

Layne assigned any insurance claims it may have had under the project’s builder’s risk insurance policy to the general contractor.

During 2014, the project owner and the general contractor submitted a claim to the project’s builder’s risk insurers to cover the cost of remedial work and related damages.

The claim was denied by the builder’s risk insurers.

On July 20, 2021, we were informed of an arbitration award denying insurance coverage for claims related to the remedial measures undertaken by the general contractor of the Salesforce Tower and related damages.

On February 3, 2022 , a lawsuit titled Steadfast Insurance Company ( “ Steadfast ” ), a subrogee of Clark/Hathaway Dinwiddie, a Joint Venture ( “ CHDJV ” ) v.

Layne Christensen Company ( “ Layne ” ) , was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco, seeking damages of approximately $ 70.0 million for costs incurred by Steadfast on behalf of CHDJV to cure Layne’s allegedly defective work on the foundation of the Salesforce Tower.

On February 4, 2022, CHDJV submitted an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association against Granite Construction Incorporated seeking to recover approximately $ 30.0 million for costs incurred by CHDJV to cure Layne’s allegedly defective work on the foundation of the Salesforce Tower.

CHDJV subsequently dismissed Granite and added Layne as a respondent to the arbitration.

On May 6, 2022, CHDJV consolidated its claims with those of Steadfast and joined as a plaintiff in the Steadfast lawsuit, and on May 16, 2022, the arbitration was stayed.

The parties attended mediation on August 4, 2023, and, on October 11, 2023, entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the matters in the Steadfast lawsuit and arbitration.

Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, Steadfast and CHDJV agreed to release the Company and Layne from any and all claims, rights, causes of action, liabilities, actions, suits, damages or demands of any kind whatsoever, that arose out of or are based upon or related to the facts alleged in the Steadfast lawsuit and arbitration.

The settlement agreement contained no admission of liability, wrongdoing or responsibility by any of the parties.

The settlement amount was paid on December 8, 2023 and on December 19, 2023 the Steadfast lawsuit and arbitration were dismissed with prejudice.

We recorded a pre-tax charge of $ 20.0 million, net of insurance recovery, which is reflected in other costs on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Restatement and Recast of Previously Issued Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10 -K, we identified errors related to deferred taxes and the calculation of income tax expense of $ 12.3 million in connection with the sale of Inliner, which was completed in the first quarter of 2022 and was classified within discontinued operations in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements during the first and second quarters of 2022 and in Other costs, net and Provision for income taxes during the third quarter of 2022.

We have restated herein our previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated balance sheets for each interim period within the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The restated financial information also includes adjustments to correct other immaterial errors in the first three quarters of 2022, including certain errors (primarily in revenue and cost of revenue, including the associated tax impact) that had previously been adjusted for as out of period corrections in the period identified.

The impacts to the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’

equity and comprehensive (loss) income as a result of the restatement were due to changes in net income during the each of the interim periods within the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

We have not included restated condensed consolidated statements of cash flows herein as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in each of these interim periods is unchanged by the restatements.

The errors offset within operating activities and none of the errors involved investing or financing activities.

The following tables represent our restated unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated balance sheets for each interim period within the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

2022 comparative amounts presented in our 

2023  Quarterly Reports on Form 10 -Q will be changed retrospectively to reflect the restatement and recast.

There is no impact to the results reported in the 2022 annual financial statements as the errors originated and are being corrected within the annual period.

There was no impact to any previously reported annual periods or quarterly results within those annual periods.

We have presented below a reconciliation from the previously reported to the restated amounts for the quarters ended September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022.

The amounts labeled “As Previously Reported”

were derived from our Quarterly Reports on Form 10 -Q filed on October 27, 2022, July 28, 2022 and April 28, 2022, respectively.

As discussed in Note 2, in September 2022, we announced our decision to retain the Water Resources and Mineral Services ("WMS") businesses that were previously classified as held for sale and reported in discontinued operations.

In connection with the reclassification of the WMS businesses from discontinued operations to continuing operations, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, as previously reported, have been recast to include Inliner through the date of sale, as well as the ongoing operations of Water Resources and Mineral Services in continuing operations.

The effects of the prior-period errors and the recast of our WMS businesses as continuing operations on our condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:
