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 (“SEC”), are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended  December 31, 2022  (“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  March 31, 2023  and  2022  and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The  December 31, 2022  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.
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 months ended March 31, 2023  are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Subsequent Event: On April 24, 2023, we completed the purchase of Coast Mountain Resources ( 2020 ) Ltd. (“CMR”) for approximately $ 27 million, subject to certain adjustments. CMR is a construction aggregate producer based in British Columbia, Canada operating on Malahat First Nation land. This acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations.
 
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. There are currently no recently issued accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. No new accounting pronouncements were adopted in the three months ended March 31, 2023 that had a material impact on our financial statements.

3.  Restatement and Recast
Restatement and Recast Background
As disclosed in our Annual Report, we identified errors during the preparation of the Annual Report 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. As a result, our previously issued unaudited quarterly financial information for each interim period within the  nine  months ended  September 30, 2022 require restatement. 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 periods identified.
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. In  September 2022,  we announced our decision to retain the Water Resources and Mineral Services 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 statement of operations for the period ended March 31, 2022,  as previously reported, has 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.
Description of Restatement and Recast Tables
We have presented below a reconciliation from the previously reported to the restated and recast amounts for the quarter ended  March 31, 2022.  The amounts labeled “As Previously Reported” were derived from our Quarterly Report on Form  10 -Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 filed on April 28, 2022.
The impacts to the condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss) as a result of the restatement were due to the changes in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022. In addition, there was no impact to net cash provided by (used in) investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as a result of the restatement or recast.
The effects of the prior-period errors and the discontinued operations reclassification impacts on our condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

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 months ended March 31, 2023  and 2022 , we did  not  identify any material amounts that should have been recorded in a prior period.
There were  no  increases from revisions in estimates, which individually had an impact of $ 5.0  million or more on gross profit for the  three months ended March 31, 2023  and 2022 . 
There were  no  decreases from revisions in estimates, which individually had an impact of $ 5.0  million or more on gross profit for the  three months ended March 31, 2022 . 
The projects with decreases from revisions in estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2023, 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 March 31,
  2023
 
Number of projects with downward estimate changes
    2  
Range of reduction in gross profit from each project, net
  $ 6.2 - 11.4  
Decrease to project profitability, net
  $ 17.6  
Decrease to net income/increase to net loss
  $ 13.1  
Amounts attributable to non-controlling interests
  $ 5.7  
Decrease to net income/increase to net loss attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated
  $ 7.5  
Decrease to net income/increase to net loss per diluted share attributable to common shareholders
  $ 0.17  
The decreases during the  three months ended March 31, 2023 were due to additional costs related to changes in project duration, increased labor and materials costs, lower productivity than originally anticipated and unfavorable weather.

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 $ 44.2  million and $ 35.2 million during the  three months ended March 31, 2023  and 2022 , respectively. The changes in contract transaction price for the  three months ended March 31, 2023  and 2022 were from items such as executed or estimated change orders and unresolved contract modifications and claims.

Commodity Derivatives
As of March 31, 2023  and December 31, 2022, we held commodity swaps for crude oil designated as cash flow hedges with a total outstanding notional amount of $ 14.0  million and $ 7.0 million, respectively, all maturing by October 31, 2023. The realized and unrealized losses associated with commodity swaps for the three months ended March 31, 2023  were immaterial. The realized gain associated with commodity swaps for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was immaterial and the unrealized gain was $ 3.3 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 , we entered into collar contracts to reduce our price exposure on diesel consumption.

( 2 ) The fair value of our 2.75 % convertible senior notes due 2024 (the "2.75% Convertible Notes") is based on the median price of the notes in an active market. The fair value of the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (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 the 2.75% Convertible Notes and the Credit Agreement.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023  and 2022 , we did not record any fair value adjustments related to nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
 
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 months ended March 31, 2023 , 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). At  March 31, 2023 , there was $ 245.2  million of remaining contract value on unconsolidated and line item construction joint venture contracts of which $ 109.4  million represented our share and the remaining $ 135.8  million represented our partners’ share. 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”)
At  March 31, 2023 , we were engaged in  eleven active CCJV projects with total contract values ranging from $ 6.1  million to $ 432.5  million for a combined total of $ 1.7  billion of which our share was $ 1.0 billion. As of March 31, 2023 , our share of revenue remaining to be recognized on these CCJVs was $ 181.3  million and ranged from $ 0.9  million to $ 85.1  million by project. Our proportionate share of the equity in these joint ventures was between  50.0 % and  70.0 %. During the  three months ended March 31, 2023  and 2022 , total revenue from CCJVs was $ 61.3  million and $ 104.3  million, respectively. During the  three months ended March 31, 2023  and 2022 , CCJVs used $ 24.8  million and $ 7.6  million of operating cash flows, respectively.

Total long-term debt

I n June 2022, we entered into the Credit Agreement which matures on June 2, 2027. The Credit Agreement is a $ 350.0 million senior secured, five -year revolving 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.
As of  March 31, 2023 , the total unused availability under the Credit Agreement was $ 269.5  million, resulting from $ 30.5  million in issued and outstanding letters of credit and $ 50.0 million drawn under the Revolver. The letters of credit had expiration dates between April 2023  and  December 2026 . As of March 31, 2023 , the applicable rate was 1.50 %  for loans under the Credit Agreement bearing interest based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") and 0.50 %  for loans bearing interest at the base rate. Accordingly, the effective interest rates at  March 31, 2023  for SOFR and base rate loans were  6.41 %  and 8.50 % , respectively.
The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and restrictive covenants, and customary events of default. The financial covenants include a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of  3.25  to  1.00  and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of  3.00  to  1.00.   As of March 31, 2023 , the Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 1.4 , which did not exceed the maximum of 3.25 . Our Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio was 15.7 , which was above the minimum of 3.00 .
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022,  the  2.75%  Convertible Notes comprised our only convertible debt instrument. 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 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.
We have the option to redeem for cash all or any portion of the  2.75%  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. 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.
During both the three months ended March 31, 2023  and  2022 , we recorded $ 0.3 million  of amortization related to debt issuance costs.

Due to the net losses for the  three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 , RSUs representing  583,000 and 534,000  shares, respectively, and the potential dilution from the 2.75 % Convertible Notes converting into  7,309,000 shares of common stock for both periods have been excluded from the number of shares used in calculating diluted net loss per share, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
 
16.  Income Taxes
The following table presents the provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the respective periods:
    Three Months Ended March 31,

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. 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. In addition, 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 as of  March 31, 2023  and  December 31, 2022 related to legal proceedings were immaterial. 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  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.
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. 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.
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  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. 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. CHDJV has moved for summary adjudication on two potentially dispositive issues. The hearing for these summary adjudication motions is scheduled for May 24, 2023. Layne opposes these motions and believes it 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. We do  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.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (our "Annual Report") and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included herein.
Forward-Looking Disclosure
From time to time, Granite makes certain comments and disclosures in reports and statements, including in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or statements made by its officers or directors, that are not based on historical facts, including statements regarding future events, occurrences, circumstances, strategy, activities, performance, outlook, outcomes, guidance, capital expenditures, committed and awarded projects, results and strategic actions, that may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “future,” “outlook,” “assumes,” “believes,” “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “appears,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “continue,” and the negatives thereof or other comparable terminology or by the context in which they are made. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements have been made and may in the future be made by or on behalf of Granite. These forward-looking statements are estimates reflecting the best judgment of senior management and reflect our current expectations regarding future events, occurrences, circumstances, strategy, activities, performance, outlook, outcomes, guidance, capital expenditures, committed and awarded projects, results, and strategic actions. These expectations may or may not be realized. Some of these expectations may be based on beliefs, assumptions or estimates that may prove to be incorrect. In addition, our business and operations involve numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could result in our expectations not being realized or otherwise materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those more specifically described in our Annual Report under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Due to the inherent risks and uncertainties associated with our forward-looking statements, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. The reader is also cautioned that the forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason .
Overview
We deliver infrastructure solutions for public and private clients primarily in the United States. We are one of the largest diversified infrastructure companies in the United States. Within the public sector, we primarily concentrate on 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. Within the private sector, we perform various services such as site preparation, mining services and infrastructure services for commercial and industrial sites, railways, residential development, energy development, as well as provide construction management professional services.
The five primary economic drivers of our business are (i) the overall health of the U.S. economy including access to resources (labor, supplies and subcontractors); (ii) federal, state and local public funding levels; (iii) population growth resulting in public and private development; (iv) the need to build, replace or repair aging infrastructure; and (v) the pricing of certain commodity related products. Changes in these drivers can either reduce our revenues and/or gross profit margins or provide opportunities for revenue growth and gross profit margin improvement.
Current Economic Environment and Outlook
Funding for our public work projects, which accounts for approximately 65% of our work, is dependent on federal, state, regional and local revenues. At the federal level, the rollout of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (“IIJA”) is ongoing with states receiving and allocating funds to projects. The five-year IIJA provides the largest increase in federal highway, bridge and transit funding in more than six decades and includes $550 billion in incremental funding. In October 2022, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced that it released $59.9 billion in Fiscal Year 2023 apportionments directly to all 50 states, all of which is available for states to authorize following the passing of the Fiscal Year 2023 omnibus appropriations bill in December 2022. We continue to believe that the increased multi-year spending commitment will improve the programming visibility for state and local governments. We are seeing projects funded by the IIJA for bid and believe there will be an increase in project lettings throughout 2023 and then more meaningfully in 2024 and beyond.
At state, regional and local levels, voter-approved state and local transportation measures continue to support infrastructure spending. While each market is unique, we see a strong funding environment at the state and local levels currently and we expect that environment to improve with the impact of the IIJA. In California, our top revenue-generating state, a significant part of the state infrastructure spend is funded through Senate Bill 1 (SB-1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, which is a 10-year, $54.2 billion program without any sunset provisions.
Over the recent years, inflation, supply chain and labor constraints have had a significant impact on the global economy including the construction industry in the United States. While it is impossible to fully eliminate the impact of these factors, we have applied proactive measures such as fixed forward purchase contracts of oil related inputs, energy surcharges, and adjustment of project schedules for constraints related to construction materials such as concrete. While we actively work to mitigate the impacts of inflation, further price increases may adversely impact us in the future.
Our Committed and Awarded Projects (“CAP”) continues to be strong at $5.1 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2023. Our CAP is supported by a positive public funding environment and resilient private market which we believe will provide further opportunities in 2023 to continue to grow CAP.
Subsequent Event
On April 24, 2023, we completed the purchase of Coast Mountain Resources (2020) Ltd. (“CMR”) for approximately $27 million, subject to certain adjustments. CMR is a construction aggregate producer based in British Columbia, Canada operating on Malahat First Nation land. This acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations.
Litigation Matter
As further discussed in Note 17 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” our wholly owned subsidiary, Layne Christensen Company (“Layne”), has been sued for approximately $100 million relating to Layne’s work on the Salesforce Tower foundation. Layne was a subcontractor on this project and potential liability for this project remained with Layne in connection with our acquisition of Layne in June 2018. For additional information, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors - In connection with acquisitions or divestitures, we may become subject to liabilities” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors - We are involved in lawsuits and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business and may in the future be subject to other litigation and legal proceedings, and, if any of these are resolved adversely against us, it could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations” in our Annual Report.

Results of Operations
Our operations are typically affected more by inclement 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.

Construction revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $74.9 million, or 12.9%, respectively, when compared to 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by the wind down of several large projects in the Central operating group, as well as the sale of Inliner in the first quarter of 2022. Revenue from the Mountain operating group decreased $28.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to the sale of Inliner which contributed $33.2 million in 2022 prior to its sale. This decrease was partially offset by increased revenue driven by higher beginning CAP levels. California operating group revenue increased $2.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 despite the unfavorable weather conditions during the quarter, partly due to emergency work resulting from the weather. During both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, approximately 65% of revenue earned in the Construction segment was from the public sector.

Materials revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $19.0 million, or 25.1%, when compared to 2022 driven by lower sales volumes in both asphalt and aggregates resulting from inclement weather during the first quarter of 2023. Asphalt and aggregate sales volumes were down 39.4% and 20.6%, respectively, with the greatest decreases in the California operating group.

Committed and Awarded Projects
CAP consists of two components: (1) unearned revenue and (2) other awards. Unearned revenue includes the revenue we expect to record in the future on executed contracts, including 100% of our consolidated joint venture contracts and our proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture contracts. We generally include a project in unearned revenue at the time a contract is awarded, the contract has been executed and to the extent we believe funding is probable. Contract options and task orders are included in unearned revenue when exercised or issued, respectively. Certain government contracts where funding is appropriated on a periodic basis are included in unearned revenue at the time of the award when it is probable the contract value will be funded and executed.
Other awards include the general construction portion of construction management/general contractor (“CM/GC”) contracts and awarded contracts with unexercised contract options or unissued task orders. The general construction portion of CM/GC contracts are included in other awards to the extent contract execution and funding is probable. Contracts with unexercised contract options or unissued task orders are included in other awards to the extent option exercise or task order issuance is probable. All CAP is in the Construction segment.

CAP of $5.1 billion at March 31, 2023 increased $618.8 million when compared to December 31, 2022. Significant additions to CAP during the three months ended March 31, 2023 included $132 million related to middle-mile broadband infrastructure projects in California, $126 million for the construction of buildings and infrastructure in Guam, an $85 million bridge project in Alaska, a $65 million highway project in Alaska, a $58 million highway project in Nevada, a $46 million reclamation project in Utah and a $29 million highway project in California.
Non-controlling partners’ share of CAP as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $109.6 million and $85.0 million, respectively.
At March 31, 2023, four contracts with remaining CAP of $10 million or more per project had total forecasted losses with remaining revenue of $103.0 million, or 2.0%, of total CAP.

Construction gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $21.8 million, or 37.2%, when compared to 2022 primarily due to an increase in the negative net impact from revisions in estimates, mainly in our Central operating group. For further discussion of projects with revisions in estimates which individually had an impact of $5.0 million or more on gross profit, see Note 4 of "Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements." Increased depreciation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2023 also contributed to the decrease in gross profit. As previously disclosed, our former Water and Mineral Services operating group (“WMS”) was classified as held for sale throughout the first quarter of 2022, and therefore no depreciation expense was recorded for WMS assets during that period.
Materials gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $6.0 million when compared to 2022. The decrease in materials revenue was due to inclement weather in the first quarter of 2023 which lowered sales volumes and negatively impacted gross profit during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Selling Expenses
Selling expenses include the costs for estimating and bidding including offsetting customer reimbursements for portions of our selling/bid submission expenses (i.e., stipends), business development and materials facility permits. Selling expenses can vary depending on the volume of projects in process and the number of employees assigned to estimating and bidding activities. As projects are completed or the volume of work slows down, we temporarily redeploy project employees to bid on new projects, moving their salaries and related costs from cost of revenue to selling expenses. Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $1.1 million, or 5.4%, when compared to 2022, primarily due to the sale of Inliner on March 16, 2022.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include costs related to our operational offices that are not allocated to direct contract costs and expenses related to our corporate functions. Other general and administrative expenses include travel and entertainment, outside services, information technology, depreciation, occupancy, training, office supplies, incentive compensation, changes in the fair market value of our Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation plan liability and other miscellaneous expenses. Total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $4.1 million, or 8.1%, primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation expense and increases in the fair market value of our Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation plan liability, which is mostly offset in Other (income) expense, net, through our own company-owned life insurance policy. These increases were partially offset by the sale of Inliner on March 16, 2022.

We calculate our income tax provision (benefit) at the end of each interim period by estimating our annual effective tax rate and applying that rate to our income or loss before tax. The effect of changes in enacted tax laws, tax rates or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was higher than the prior year primarily due to non-deductible goodwill associated with the sale of Inliner in the first quarter of 2022.

The amount attributable to non-controlling interests represents the non-controlling owners’ share of the net income or loss of our consolidated construction joint ventures. The amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $4.4 million primarily due to the negative impact from revisions in estimates on one project (see Note 4 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, investments, available borrowing capacity and cash generated from operations. We may also from time-to-time issue and sell equity, debt or hybrid securities or engage in other capital markets transactions or sell one or more business units or assets.
Our material cash requirements include paying the costs and expenses associated with our operations, servicing outstanding indebtedness, making capital expenditures and paying dividends on our capital stock. We may also from time to time prepay or repurchase outstanding indebtedness, repurchase shares of our common stock or acquire assets or businesses that are complementary to our operations.
We believe our primary sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our expected working capital needs, capital expenditures, financial commitments, cash dividend payments and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations for the next twelve months. We also believe our primary sources of liquidity, access to debt and equity capital markets and cash expected to be generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our long-term requirements and plans. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient capital will continue to be available or that it will be available on terms acceptable to us.
As of March 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents consisted of deposits and money market funds held with established national financial institutions and marketable securities consisting primarily of U.S. Government and agency obligations and corporate commercial paper. As of March 31, 2023, the total unused availability under our Credit Agreement was $269.5 million, resulting from $30.5 million in issued and outstanding letters of credit and $50.0 million drawn under the Credit Agreement. See Note 14 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”.
As of March 31, 2023, we had $4.8 million of receivables and $28.8 million of contract retention receivable from Brightline Trains Florida LLC ("Brightline") (see Note 7 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”). As of the date of this report, $1.9 million of the Brightline receivables have been collected and the remaining $2.9 million are past due. Brightline has experienced delays in securing additional funding in the past, therefore the timing and probability of future payments may be affected and our liquidity impacted if Brightline faces additional funding difficulties.
In evaluating our liquidity position and needs, we also consider cash and cash equivalents held by our consolidated construction joint ventures (“CCJVs”). The following table presents our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, including amounts from our CCJVs, as of the respective dates:

(1) The volume and stage of completion of contracts from our CCJVs may cause fluctuations in joint venture cash and cash equivalents between periods. The assets of each consolidated and unconsolidated construction joint venture relate solely to that joint venture. The decision to distribute joint venture assets must generally be made jointly by a majority of the members and, accordingly, these assets, including those associated with estimated cost recovery of customer affirmative claims and back charge claims, are generally not available for the working capital needs of Granite until distributed.
(2) All marketable securities were classified as held-to-maturity and consisted of U.S. and agency obligations and corporate commercial paper as of all periods presented.
Granite’s portion of CCJV cash and cash equivalents was $67.1 million and $62.5 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Excluded from the table above is $34.4 million and $40.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, in Granite’s portion of unconsolidated construction joint venture cash and cash equivalents.
Capital Expenditures
Major capital expenditures are typically for aggregate and asphalt production facilities, aggregate reserves, construction equipment, buildings and leasehold improvements and investments in our information technology systems. The timing and amount of such expenditures can vary based on the progress of planned capital projects, the type and size of construction projects, changes in business outlook and other factors. During the 
three months ended March 31, 2023, we had capital expenditures of $
40.5 million, compared t
o $31.3 mi llion, during the
three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase year over year is primarily due to acquisitions of materials reserves in 2023. We currently anticipate 2023 capital expenditures to be between approximately $
100 million and $
120 million.

Operating activities
As a large infrastructure contractor and construction materials producer, our revenue, gross profit and the resulting operating cash flows can differ significantly from period to period due to a variety of factors, including project progression toward completion, outstanding contract change orders and affirmative claims, and the payment terms of our contracts. Additionally, operating cash flows are impacted by the timing related to funding construction joint ventures and the resolution of uncertainties inherent in the complex nature of the work that we perform, including claim and back charge settlements. Our working capital assets result from both public and private sector projects. Customers in the private sector can be slower paying than those in the public sector; however, private sector projects generally have higher gross profit as a percentage of revenue. While we typically invoice our customers on a monthly basis, our contracts frequently provide for retention that is a specified percentage withheld from each payment by our customers until the contract is completed and the work accepted by the customer.
Cash used in operating activities of $76.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 represents a $26.5 million increase in cash used when compared to the same period of 2022. The change was primarily attributable to the timing of receipts and payments of working capital, which includes receivables, net contract assets, inventories, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities. Cash used in working capital increased by $33.6 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in contributions, net of distributions, of $11.7 million to unconsolidated joint ventures and affiliates.
Investing activities
Cash used in investing activities of $24.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 represents a $113.7 million increase in cash used when compared to the same period of 2022. The change was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of the Inliner business in March 2022, as well as increased purchases of property and equipment in the current year, partially offset by decreased purchases and increased maturities of marketable securities in the current year.
Financing activities
Cash provided by financing activities of $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 represents an $89.7 million increase in cash provided by financing activities when compared to the same period of 2022. The change was primarily due to a $62.8 million decrease in debt principal repayments and a $16.7 million decrease in repurchases of common stock. Contributions from non-controlling partners, net of distributions, increased $9.9 million in the current year.

Derivatives
We recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value using Level 2 inputs. See Note 9 to “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information. The hedge option and warrant derivative transactions related to the 2.75% Convertible Notes were recorded to equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the cash proceeds.
Surety Bonds and Real Estate Mortgages
We are generally required to provide various types of surety bonds that provide an additional measure of security under certain public and private sector contracts. At March 31, 2023, approximatel y $2.6 billion of our $5.1 billion CAP was bonded. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates; rather, we are generally released from the bonds after the owner accepts the work performed under contract. The ability to maintain bonding capacity to support our current and future level of contracting requires that we maintain cash and working capital balances satisfactory to our sureties.
Our investments in real estate affiliates are subject to mortgage indebtedness. This indebtedness is non-recourse to Granite but is recourse to the real estate entities. The terms of this indebtedness are typically renegotiated to reflect the evolving nature of the real estate projects as they progress through acquisition, entitlement and development. Modification of these terms may include changes in loan-to-value ratios requiring the real estate entity to repay portions of the debt. Our unconsolidated investments in our foreign affiliates are subject to local bank debt primarily for equipment purchases and working capital. This debt is non-recourse to Granite, but it is recourse to the affiliates. The debt associated with our unconsolidated non-construction entities is included in Note 11 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”
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 2.75% Convertible Notes are governed by the terms and conditions of the indenture. Our failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts when due or within the relevant grace period on our 2.75% Convertible Notes or our Credit Agreement would constitute an event of default under the 2.75% 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 lien securing the obligations under such facility. A default under the 2.75% 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 March 31, 2023, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 1.4, which did not exceed the maximum of 3.25. Our Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio was 15.7, which exceeded the minimum of 3.00.
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 (the “2022 authorization”). In March 2022, we repurchased 611,000 shares under this authorization. There were no share repurchases in the three months ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, $231.5 million of the 2022 authorization remained available.
The specific timing and amount of any future repurchases will vary based on market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors.
