GRANITE CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. General
Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Granite Construction Incorporated (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Granite”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“Annual Report”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Further, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly our financial position at September 30, 2024 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The December 31, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet data included herein was derived from audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
During the first quarter of 2024, we reorganized our operational structure to more closely align with our two reportable segments, Construction and Materials. Previously, leaders within our three former operating groups of California, Central and Mountain managed both Construction and Materials operations within each group. This change allows us to better leverage our expertise within each reportable segment with leadership having direct oversight of their respective segment operations. As a result of the reorganization, we will no longer disclose financial information by operating group. There were no material impacts to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and no changes to our reportable segments.
Due to the changes in our operational structure and the resulting changes to reporting units, we performed quantitative goodwill impairment tests, immediately before and after the reorganization, on the affected reporting units. These reporting units previously aligned with our operating group structure, but have now been combined into two reporting units, Construction and Materials. The reporting units associated with the acquisition of Lehman-Roberts Company and Memphis Stone & Gravel Company (collectively, "LRC/MSG") were not impacted by the reorganization. For each of the affected reporting units, we calculated the estimated fair value consistent with the annual impairment assessment using the discounted cash flows and market multiple methods. These tests indicated that the estimated fair values of the affected reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts with headroom in excess of 25 %.
Share Repurchase Program: As announced on February 3, 2022, on February 1, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized us to purchase up to $300.0 million of our common stock at management’s discretion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 225,000 shares under this authorization. The share repurchases are included in Repurchases of common stock on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and within Financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As of September 30, 2024, $218.2 million of the authorization remained available.
Seasonality: Our operations are typically affected more by weather conditions during the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year which may alter our construction schedules and can create variability in our revenues and profitability. Therefore, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
We closely monitor all Accounting Standards Updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other authoritative guidance. No new accounting pronouncements were recently issued or adopted in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 that had or are expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
3. Acquisitions
Dickerson & Bowen, Inc.
On August 9, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Dickerson & Bowen, Inc. ("D&B") for an estimated purchase price of $124.2 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments. D&B is an aggregates, asphalt and highway construction company serving central and southern Mississippi which expands our footprint in that region. The buyer of D&B, Granite Southeast Company ("Granite Southeast"), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite and D&B's results have been included in the Construction and Materials segments since the acquisition date. D&B’s customers are in both the public and private

sectors. We have accounted for this transaction in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).
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 August 9, 2024. 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. As we continue to integrate the acquired business, we may obtain additional information which may result in revisions to preliminary valuation assumptions, estimates and the resulting fair values presented herein. We expect to finalize these amounts within 12 months from the acquisition date.
Based on our preliminary purchase price allocation, the net tangible and intangible assets acquired were $31.7 million and $27.7 million, respectively, resulting in acquired goodwill of $64.8 million, none of which is tax deductible. Of the acquired goodwill, $44.0 million is in the Materials segment and $20.8 million is in the Construction segment. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill from the acquisition include strengthening and expanding our vertically integrated southeast home market. The most significant assets acquired were $38.1 million of property and equipment and $18.2 million of customer relationships.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of Granite and D&B as though the companies had been combined as of January 1, 2023. 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, 2023, nor does it intend to be a projection of future results.

Diluted net income per share attributable to common shareholders $ 1.54 $ 1.18 $ 1.78 $ 0.64
These amounts have been calculated after applying Granite’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of D&B 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, 2023. Acquisition and integration expenses related to D&B that were incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are reflected in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to the assumed timing of the transaction. The statutory tax rate of 26% was used for both 2024 and 2023 for the pro forma adjustments.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we incurred $2.3 million of acquisition and integration expenses associated with the D&B acquisition which were primarily related to professional services.

On November 30, 2023, Granite Southeast 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 a $ 150.0 million senior secured term loan, a draw of $ 100 million under our existing revolver and the remainder from cash on hand. Both the senior secured term loan and the draw under the revolver were fully repaid during the first half of 2024.
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.

LRC/MSG's results have been included in the Construction and Materials segments since the acquisition date. LRC/MSG’s customers are in both the public and private sectors. Revenue attributable to LRC/MSG for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $ 45.5 million and $ 105.0 million, respectively. Gross profit attributable to LRC/MSG for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $ 5.7 million and $ 5.0 million, respectively.
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 the acquisition date, as presented in the table below.
We recorded a $22.0 million provisional estimate related to tax make-whole agreements with the seller at the time of the acquisition. In the second quarter of 2024, the former owners of LRC/MSG determined their personal tax burden related to the sale of the businesses which allowed us to finalize our tax make-whole obligation. Our obligation was $7.1 million, which was paid in June 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we made measurement period adjustments to reflect facts and circumstances in existence as of the acquisition date. These adjustments included a $ 4.6 million net increase from net working capital adjustments and a $2.2 million net decrease in the value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, offset by a $14.9 million decrease in the estimated obligation associated with the tax make-whole agreements noted above. The impact of these adjustments was a decrease in goodwill of $8.1 million. We paid $ 13.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 associated with the acquisition of LRC/MSG, which includes $6.1 million for working capital adjustments and $7.1 million for the tax make-whole obligation.
There were no material measurement period adjustments during the three months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, we have finalized the purchase price accounting.
The following table presents the purchase price allocation:

Coast Mountain Resources
On April 24, 2023, we acquired Coast Mountain Resources (2020) Ltd. which changed its name to Granite Infrastructure Canada, Ltd. ("Granite Canada") on May 13, 2024. Granite Canada is a construction aggregate producer based in British Columbia, Canada operating on Malahat First Nation land. Granite Canada results are reported in the Materials segment. This acquisition did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
4. 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 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.
In our review of these changes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we did not identify any material amounts that should have been recorded in a prior period.
The projects with increases from revisions in estimates, which individually had an impact of $5.0 million or more on gross profit, are summarized as follows (dollars in millions, except per share data):
Three Months Ended
September 30, Nine Months Ended
September 30,

Number of projects with upward estimate changes 2 1 2 1
Range of increase in gross profit from each project, net $ 5.4 - 5.7

Increase to project profitability, net $ 11.1 $ 8.6 $ 11.4 $ 8.1
Increase to net income $ 8.5 $ 6.5 $ 8.7 $ 6.1
Amounts attributable to non-controlling interests $ — $ — $ — $ 3.3
Increase to net income attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated $ 8.5 $ 6.5 $ 8.7 $ 2.8
Increase to net income per diluted share attributable to common shareholders $ 0.16 $ 0.12 $ 0.17 $ 0.06
The increases during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 were due to changes in the estimated amount of probable recovery on outstanding claims. In the three months ended September 30, 2024, decreases in estimated costs from mitigated risks also contributed to the increase.
The increases during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were due to changes in the estimated amount of probable recovery on outstanding claims and changes in the estimated transaction price related to unresolved contract modifications resulting from revisions to project work plans, permitting and scheduling. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due to decreases in estimated costs from mitigated risks.

The decreases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were due to additional costs related to changes in project durations, lower productivity than originally anticipated and increased labor and materials cost.
5. Disaggregation of Revenue
As discussed in Note 1, during the first quarter of 2024, we reorganized our operational structure to more closely align with our two reportable segments, Construction and Materials. Previously, leaders within our three former operating groups of California, Central and Mountain managed both Construction and Materials operations within each group. As a result of the reorganization, we will no longer disclose financial information by operating group and we have updated our presentation of disaggregated revenue. The prior year disaggregation of revenue amounts have been recast to conform with the current period presentation.
Revenue is disaggregated by reportable segment (see Note 18) and customer type, which we believe best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Customer Type
Customers in our Construction segment are predominantly in the public sector which includes certain federal agencies, state departments of transportation, local transit authorities, county and city public works departments and school districts. Our private sector customers include, but are not limited to, developers, utilities and private owners of industrial, commercial and residential sites. Customers of our Materials segment include internal usage by our own construction projects, as well as third-party customers. Based on the nature of the Materials business, it is not meaningful to disaggregate revenue by customer type.
The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by reportable segment and by customer type for the Construction segment:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023
Construction segment revenue:
Public $ 828,268 $ 674,494 $ 1,944,795 $ 1,513,046
Private 252,437 271,204 649,077 685,481
Total Construction segment revenue 1,080,705 945,698 2,593,872 2,198,527
Materials segment revenue 194,805 171,122 436,399 376,913
Total revenue $ 1,275,510 $ 1,116,820 $ 3,030,271 $ 2,575,440

Private 813,102 704,421
Total $ 3,884,146 $ 3,596,676
All unearned revenue is in the Construction segment. Approximately $ 2.7 billion of the September 30, 2024 unearned revenue is expected to be recognized within the next twelve months and the remaining amount will be recognized thereafter.
7. 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 $ 43.3 million and $ 220.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $ 41.6 million and $ 131.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The changes in contract transaction price for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were from items such as executed or estimated change orders and unresolved contract modifications and claims.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate claim recovery estimates included in contract asset and liability balances were $ 88.0 million and $ 77.9 million, respectively.
The components of the contract asset balances as of the respective dates were as follows:
(in thousands) September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
Costs in excess of billings and estimated earnings $ 143,739 $ 100,106
Contract retention 177,914 162,881
Total contract assets $ 321,653 $ 262,987
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract retention receivable from Brightline Trains Florida LLC represented 9.1 % and 11.1 %, respectively, of total contract assets. No other contract retention receivable individually exceeded 10% of total contract assets at any of the presented dates. The majority of the contract retention balance is expected to be collected within one year.
As work is performed, revenue is recognized and the corresponding contract liabilities are reduced. We recognized revenue of $ 16.7 million and $ 270.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $ 17.5 million and $ 188.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balances at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Interest Rate Swap
In connection with entering into Amendment No. 2 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended (the "Credit Agreement") in November 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge with an initial notional amount of $ 75.0 million and an effective date of December 2023 and a maturity date of June 2027. In conjunction with the payoff of our term loan in June 2024, the interest rate swap was terminated resulting in a gain of $1.4 million.
Commodity Derivatives
In 2023, we entered into collar contracts and commodity swaps to reduce our price exposure on diesel consumption and heating oil consumption, respectively. The collars and swaps were not designated as hedges and will be treated as mark-to-market derivative instruments through their maturity dates. The financial statement impact of the collar contracts and commodity swaps for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was immaterial .
In April 2024 and December 2022, we entered into commodity swaps designated as cash flow hedges to reduce our price exposure on crude oil with a notional amount of $ 1.8 million and $ 7.0 million, respectively, and maturity dates of October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2023, respectively. The financial statement impact of these swaps during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was immaterial .

The fair value of the Credit Agreement is based on borrowing rates available to us for long-term loans with similar terms, average maturities, and credit risk. See Note 14 for more information about our convertible notes and the Credit Agreement.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we had no material nonfinancial asset or liability fair value adjustments.
10. Construction Joint Ventures
We participate in various construction joint ventures. We have determined that certain of these joint ventures are consolidated because they are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and we are the primary beneficiary. We continually evaluate whether there are changes in the status of the VIEs or changes to the primary beneficiary designation of the VIE. Based on our assessments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we determined no change was required for existing joint ventures.
Due to the joint and several nature of the performance obligations under the related owner contracts, if any of our 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). We are not able to estimate amounts that may be required beyond the current remaining forecasted cost of the work to be performed. These forecasted costs could be offset by billings to the customer or

by proceeds from our partners’ corporate and/or other guarantees. See Note 13 for disclosure of the performance guarantee amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Consolidated Construction Joint Ventures (“CCJVs”)
As of September 30, 2024, we were engaged in ten active CCJV projects. Our proportionate share of the equity in these joint ventures was between 50.0 % and 70.0 %. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, total revenue from CCJVs was $ 101.3 million, $ 265.1 million, $ 91.2 million, and $ 223.3 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, CCJVs provided $ 33.0 million and used $ 36.8 million of operating cash flows, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, our share of revenue remaining to be recognized on these CCJVs was $ 375.8 million and ranged from $ 1.3 million to $ 140.1 million by project.
Unconsolidated Construction Joint Ventures
As of September 30, 2024, we were engaged in five active unconsolidated construction joint venture projects. Our proportionate share of the equity in these unconsolidated construction joint ventures ranged from 30.0 % to 50.0 %. As of September 30, 2024, our share of the revenue remaining to be recognized on these unconsolidated construction joint ventures was $ 31.4 million and ranged from $ 0.7 million to $ 24.6 million by project.

Credit Agreement
In June 2022, we entered into the Credit Agreement which matures on June 2, 2027. The Credit Agreement consisted of a $ 350.0 million senior secured, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), including an accordion feature allowing us to increase borrowings up to the greater of (a) $ 200.0 million and (b) 100 % of twelve-month trailing consolidated EBITDA, subject to lender approval. The Credit Agreement includes a $ 150.0 million sublimit for letters of credit ($ 75.0

million for financial letters of credit) and a $ 20.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. In May 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement ("Amendment No. 1"). Amendment No. 1 amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit us to exchange our 2.75 % Convertible Notes for cash and shares of our common stock and to clarify that (i) the issuance of the 3.75 % Convertible Notes was permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement and (ii) that a Swap Contract (as defined in the Credit Agreement) does not include any Permitted Call Spread Transaction (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
In November 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement ("Amendment No. 2") which amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, provide for a $ 150.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”), which was fully drawn on closing to fund the LRC/MSG acquisition. The Term Loan was scheduled to mature on June 2, 2027 and amortize 5 % per year, payable in quarterly installments beginning in the first quarter of 2024. The Term Loan was fully repaid with the net proceeds from our 3.25 % Convertible Notes in the second quarter of 2024.
We may borrow on the Revolver, at our option, at either (a) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) term rate plus a credit adjustment spread plus applicable margin ranging from 1.0 % to 2.0 %, or (b) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from zero to 1.0 %. The applicable margin is based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in our Credit Agreement), calculated quarterly. As of September 30, 2024, the total unused availability under the Credit Agreement was $ 333.5 million, resulting from $ 16.5 million in issued and outstanding letters of credit and nothing drawn under the Revolver. The letters of credit had expiration dates between November 2024 and December 2027.
3.25% Convertible Notes
On June 11, 2024, we issued $373.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.25 % Convertible Notes. The 3.25 % Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2024. The 3.25 % Convertible Notes mature on June 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2029, the 3.25 % Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods. Thereafter, the 3.25 % 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 their maturity date.
The 3.25 % Convertible Notes have an initial conversion rate of 12.8398 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.25 % Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $77.88 per share of our common stock, subject to adjustment if certain events occur. Upon conversion, we will settle the principal amount of the 3.25 % Convertible Notes in cash, and any conversion premium in excess of the principal amount in cash, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.
In addition, upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the 3.25 % Convertible Notes, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 3.25 % Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.25 % 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 3.25 % Convertible Notes occur prior to the maturity date of the 3.25 % 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 3.25 % Convertible Notes in connection with such event or notice of redemption.
We will not be able to redeem the 3.25 % Convertible Notes prior to June 21, 2027. On or after June 21, 2027, we will be able to redeem for cash all or any portion of the 3.25 % Convertible Notes, at our option, if the last reported sale price of Granite’s 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 3.25 % Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The indenture governing the 3.25 % 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 3.25 % 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 3.25 % Convertible Notes then outstanding may declare the 3.25 % Convertible Notes due and payable immediately.
The net proceeds from the sale of the 3.25 % Convertible Notes were approximately $365.0 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount. We used approximately $46.0 million of the net proceeds from the 3.25 % Convertible Notes offering to pay the cost of entering into capped call transactions in connection with the 3.25 % Convertible Notes. In addition, we paid approximately $57.6 million of the net proceeds from the 3.25 % Convertible Notes offering to

(Unaudited)
repurchase approximately $30.2 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2.75% Convertible Notes in separate and individually negotiated transactions entered into concurrently with the pricing of the offering; repaid amounts outstanding under our Term Loan of $148.1 million; repurchased $13.3 million of shares under our authorized share repurchase program; with the remainder of the net proceeds available for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions.
2024 Capped Call Transactions
In June 2024, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions in connection with the offering of the 3.25 % Convertible Notes (the "2024 capped call transactions"). The 2024 capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the 3.25 % Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 3.25 % Convertible Notes, as the case may be. If, however, the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the 2024 capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of $119.82 of the 2024 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 2024 capped call transactions.
3.75 % Convertible Notes
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 our 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 our common stock, subject to adjustment if certain events occur. Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our 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 2023 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. Pursuant to the Unwind Agreements, we received 1,390,516 shares of our common stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares) in

(Unaudited)
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.
2023 Capped Call Transactions
In May 2023, we entered into capped call transactions (the "2023 capped call transactions") in connection with the offering of the 3.75 % Convertible Notes. The 2023 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 per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the 2023 capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of $79.83 of the 2023 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 2023 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.
In June 2024, we called the 2.75 % Convertible Notes for redemption. As of September 30, 2024, no 2.75% Convertible Notes remained outstanding.
Covenants and Events of Default
Our Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various affirmative, restrictive and financial covenants, including the financial covenants described below. Our failure to comply with these covenants would constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement. Additionally, the 3.25 % Convertible Notes and 3.75 % Convertible Notes are governed by the terms and conditions of their respective indentures. Our failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts when due or within the relevant grace period on our 3.25 % Convertible Notes, our 3.75 % Convertible Notes or our Credit Agreement would constitute an event of default under the 3.25 % Convertible Notes indenture, the 3.75 % Convertible Notes indenture or the Credit Agreement. A default under our Credit Agreement could result in (i) us no longer being entitled to borrow under such facility; (ii) termination of such facility; (iii) the requirement that any letters of credit under such facility be cash collateralized; (iv) acceleration of amounts owed under the Credit Agreement; and/or (v) foreclosure on any collateral securing the obligations under such facility. A default under the 3.25 % Convertible Notes indenture or the 3.75 % Convertible Notes indenture could result in acceleration of the maturity of the notes.
The most significant financial covenants under the terms of our Credit Agreement require the maintenance of a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. We are not aware of any non-compliance by any of our unconsolidated real estate entities with the covenants contained in their debt agreements.
Debt Issuance Costs
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $ 0.9 million and $ 3.0 million, respectively, of amortization related to debt issuance costs. We also capitalized $10.3 million in third party offering costs related to the issuance of the 3.25 % Convertible Notes. These debt issuance costs will be amortized over the expected life of the 3.25 % Convertible Notes.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $0.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of amortization related to debt issuance costs. This included $1.7 million of accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the 2.75 % Convertible Notes that were repaid and are included in the loss on debt extinguishment. We also capitalized $10.0 million in third party offering costs related to the issuance of the 3.75 % Convertible Notes. These debt issuance costs will be amortized over the expected life of the 3.75 % Convertible Notes.

15. Weighted Average Shares Outstanding and Net Income Per Share
The following table presents a reconciliation of the weighted average shares of common stock used in calculating basic and diluted net income per share as well as the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended
September 30,
(in thousands, except per share amounts) 2024 2023 2024 2023
Numerator
Net income attributable to common shareholders for basic earnings per share $ 78,951 $ 57,624 $ 84,863 $ 17,601
Add: Interest expense related to Convertible Notes (1) 3,064 3,209 9,196 —
Net income attributable to common shareholders for diluted earnings per share $ 82,015 $ 60,833 $ 94,059 $ 17,601
Denominator
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic 43,696 43,924 43,914 43,861
Add: Dilutive effect of RSUs 567 589 568 586
Add: Dilutive effect of Convertible Notes (1) 8,103 9,099 8,103 —
Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted 52,366 53,612 52,585 44,447
Net income per share, basic $ 1.81 $ 1.31 $ 1.93 $ 0.40
Net income per share, diluted $ 1.57 $ 1.13 $ 1.79 $ 0.40
(1) The dilutive effect of the convertible notes was determined using the if-converted method. As the 3.75 % Convertible Notes will be convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, at our election, the 3.75 % Convertible Notes are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the reporting period, and the resulting shares are included in the denominator of the calculation. In addition, interest charges, net of any income tax effects are added back to the numerator of the calculation. For the 3.25 % Convertible Notes, we are required to settle the principal amount in cash and any conversion premium in excess of the principal amount in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election. As such, the 3.25 % Convertible Notes only have an impact on diluted earnings per share when the average share price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, interest expense related to convertible notes of $6.9 million and the potential dilution from the convertible notes converting into 9.1 million shares of common stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
In connection with the issuance of the 3.25 % Convertible Notes and 3.75 % Convertible Notes, we entered into the 2024 capped call transactions and 2023 capped call transactions, respectively, which were not included for purposes of calculating the number of diluted shares outstanding, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
16. Income Taxes
The following table presents the provision for income taxes for the respective periods:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended
September 30,
(dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023
Provision for income taxes $ 25,469 $ 22,423 $ 36,636 $ 21,978
Effective tax rate 23.3 % 28.1 % 28.2 % 73.6 %
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 is lower than the prior year due to tax expense recognized in the third quarter of 2023 associated with recording a non-deductible goodwill impairment and valuation allowances on certain foreign net operating losses. Our effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is lower than the prior year primarily due to incurring less nondeductible debt extinguishment costs in 2024 than 2023 as well as the tax expense associated with the goodwill impairment and valuation allowances recorded in the third quarter of 2023.

17. Contingencies - Legal Proceedings
Liabilities relating to legal proceedings and government inquiries, to the extent that we have concluded such liabilities are probable and the amounts of such liabilities are reasonably estimable, are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Disclosure is required when a material loss is probable but not reasonably estimable, a material loss is reasonably possible but not probable, or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the amount recorded. The total liabilities recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for legal proceedings and government inquiries were immaterial as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
It is possible that future developments in our legal proceedings and inquiries could require us to (i) adjust or reverse existing accruals, or (ii) record new accruals that we did not originally believe to be probable or that could not be reasonably estimated. Such changes could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
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 1 of our Annual Report. 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 may 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 may 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.
18. Reportable Segment Information
Our reportable segments are the same as our operating segments and correspond with how our chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group (our “CODM”), regularly reviews financial information to allocate resources and assess performance. We identified our CODM as our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operating Officer. Our reportable segments are: Construction and Materials.
