NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. 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, 2017. 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 June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The December 31, 2017 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

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 six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements, except for the adoption during the three months ended March 31, 2018 of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, ASU No. 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) : Clarifying the Definition of a Business and ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting, none of which had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.118, the impact of which is disclosed in Note 16 and on January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and subsequently issued additional related ASUs (“Topic 606”), the impact of which is described in detail below .

On April 3, 2018, we acquired LiquiForce and on June 14, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Layne Christensen Company (“Layne”). See Note 3 for further information.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation: Through the acquisitions of Layne and LiquiForce, we now have operations in Latin America, Canada and Brazil which involve exposure to possible volatile movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We account for foreign currency exchange transactions and translation in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Foreign currency transactions are remeasured into the functional currency with gains and losses included in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In Mexico, most of our customer contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars; therefore, the functional currency is U.S. dollars. In Canada and Brazil, the functional currency is the local currency. The impact from foreign currency transactions was immaterial for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Assets and liabilities in functional currency are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average foreign currency exchange rates prevailing during the reporting periods. The translation adjustments from functional currency to U.S. dollars are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Inventories: Inventories consist primarily of quarry products, contract-specific materials, water well drilling materials, and sewer remediation materials that are located in the U.S. and mineral extraction and drilling supplies located in the U.S. and foreign countries, primarily Brazil and Mexico. Cost of U.S. and foreign inventories are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value . W e reserve quarry products based on estimated quantities of materials on hand in excess of approximately one year of demand. As of June 30, 2018, inventory included $19.1 million of supplies related to the Water and Mineral Services operating group.

Reclassifications : Certain immaterial reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation.

Effect of adopting Topic 606

The core principle of Topic 606 is that revenue will be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects consideration for which entitlement is expected in exchange for those goods or services. We adopted Topic 606 using a modified retrospective transition approach and elected to apply Topic 606 to contracts with customers that are not substantially complete, i.e. less than 90% complete, as of January 1, 2018.

While the adoption of Topic 606 did not have an impact on revenue of our Construction Materials segment, it did impact revenue of our Construction and Large Project Construction segments specifically in the following areas:

•

Multiple performance obligations – In accordance with Topic 606, we reviewed construction contracts with customers, including those related to contract modifications, to determine if there are multiple performance obligations. Based on this review, we identified one unconsolidated joint venture contract in our Large Project Construction segment that has multiple performance obligations.

•

Multiple contracts – We reviewed contracts containing task orders and identified one Construction segment master contract that consists of multiple individual contracts as defined by Topic 606. Previously, revenue for this contract was forecasted and recorded at the master contract level.

•

Revenue recognition – We identified one contract in our Large Project Construction segment where performance obligations are satisfied and control of the promised goods and services are transferred to the customer upon delivery of goods rather than over time. Previously, revenue for this contract was recognized over time.

•

Provisions for losses – We identified one unconsolidated joint venture contract in our Large Project Construction segment that has actual and provisions for losses at the performance obligation level related to completed and uncompleted performance obligations, respectively. Previously, provisions for losses were recorded at the contract level.

The impact to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 from the adoption of Topic 606 related to the items noted above was a net cumulative decrease of $15.2 million.

In addition, as of January 1, 2018, we began to separately present contract assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract assets include amounts due under contractual retainage provisions that were previously included in accounts receivable as well as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings that we re previously separately presented. Contract liabilities include billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings that were previously separately presented as well as provisions for losses that were previously included in accrued expenses and other curre nt liabilities. See Note 7 for further information.

Disclosures included in Notes 5, 6 and 7 are related to the adoption of Topic 606 and are revenue disaggregated by operating group, information about unearned revenue and contract assets and liabilities, respectively.

The accounting policies that were affected by Topic 606 and the changes thereto are as follows:

Revenue Recognition: Our revenue is primarily derived from construction contracts that can span several quarters or years and from sales of construction materials. We recognize revenue in accordance with Topic 606. Topic 606 provides for a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers as follows:

Identify the contract

Identify performance obligations

Determine the transaction price

Allocate the transaction price

Recognize revenue

Generally, our contracts contain one performance obligation.

Contracts with customers in our Construction Materials segment are typically defined by our customary business practices and are valued at the contractual selling price per unit. Our customary business practices are for the delivery of a separately identifiable good at a point in time which is typically when delivery to the customer occurs.

Contracts in our Construction and Large Project Construction segments may contain multiple distinct promises or multiple contracts within a master agreement (e.g. contracts that cross multiple locations/geographies and task orders), which we review at contract inception to determine if they represent multiple performance obligations or multiple separate contracts. This review consists of determining if promises or groups of promises are distinct within the context of the contract, including whether contracts are physically contiguous, contain task orders, purchase orders or sales orders, contain termination clauses and/or contain elements not related to design and/or build.

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to the customer. The consideration promised in a contract with customers of our Construction and Large Project Construction segments may include both fixed amounts and variable amounts (e.g. bonuses/incentives or penalties/liquidated damages) to the extent that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved (i.e., probable and estimable). When a contract has a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is attributed to that performance obligation. When a contract has more than one performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on estimated relative standalone selling prices of the goods or services at the inception of the contract, which typically is determined using cost plus an appropriate margin.

Subsequent to the inception of a contract in our Construction and Large Project Construction segments, the transaction price could change for various reasons, including the executed or estimated amount of change orders and unresolved contract modifications and claims to or from owners. Changes that are accounted for as an adjustment to existing performance obligations are allocated on the same basis at contract inception. Otherwise, changes are accounted for as separate performance obligation(s) and the separate transaction price is allocated as discussed above.

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

On certain projects we have submitted and have pending unresolved contract modifications and affirmative claims (“affirmative claims”) to recover additional costs and the associated profit, if applicable, to which the Company believes it is entitled under the terms of contracts with customers, subcontractors, vendors or others. The owners or their authorized representatives and/or other third parties may be in partial or full agreement with the modifications or affirmative claims, or may have rejected or disagree entirely or partially as to such entitlement.

Changes are made to the transaction price from affirmative claims with customers to the extent that additiona l revenue on a claim settlement with a customer is probable and estimable. A reduction to costs related to affirmative claims with non-customers with whom we have a contractual arrangement (“back charges”) is recognized when the estimated recovery is proba ble and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Except for contractual back charges, affirmative claims against non-customers that are unrelated to jobs are recognized as a reduction to cost or increase to other income when the claims are settled. Recogniz ing affirmative claims and back charge recoveries requires significant judgments of certain factors including, but not limited to, dispute resolution developments and outcomes, anticipated negotiation results, and the cost of resolving such matters and est imates.

Certain construction contracts include retention provisions to provide assurance to our customers that we will perform in accordance with the contract terms and are therefore not considered a financing benefit. The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to these provisions generally become due upon completion and acceptance of the project work or products by the customer. We have determined there are no significant financing components in our contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2018 .

Typically, performance obligations related to contracts in our Construction and Large Project Construction segments are satisfied over time because our performance typically creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced. We recognize revenue as performance obligations are satisfied and control of the promised good and service is transferred to the customer. Revenue in our Construction and Large Project Construction segments is ordinarily recognized over time as control is transferred to the customers by measuring the progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation(s) using an input (i.e., “cost to cost”) method. Under the cost to cost method, costs incurred to-date are generally the best depiction of transfer of control.

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

The accuracy of our revenue and profit recognition in a given period depends on the accuracy of our estimates of the cost to complete each project. Cost estimates for all of our significant projects use a detailed “bottom up” approach, and we believe our experience allows us to create materially reliable estimates. There are a number of factors that can contribute to changes in estimates of contract cost and profitability. The most significant of these include:

•

the completeness and accuracy of the original bid;

•

costs associated with scope changes;

•

changes in costs of labor and/or materials;

•

extended overhead and other costs due to owner, weather and other delays;

•

subcontractor performance issues;

•

changes in productivity expectations;

•

site conditions that differ from those assumed in the original bid;

•

changes from original design on design-build projects;

•

the availability and skill level of workers in the geographic location of the project;

•

a change in the availability and proximity of equipment and materials;

•

our ability to fully and promptly recover on affirmative claims and back charges for additional contract costs; and

•

the customer’s ability to properly administer the contract.

The foregoing factors, as well as the stage of completion of contracts in process and the mix of contracts at different margins may cause fluctuations in gross profit and gross profit margin from period to period. Significant changes in cost estimates, particularly in our larger, more complex projects have had, and can in future periods have, a significant effect on our profitability.

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

Generally, costs to obtain our contracts (“pre-bid costs”) that are not expected to be recovered from the customer are expensed as incurred and included in selling, g eneral and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations. Although unusual, pre-bid costs that are explicitly chargeable to the customer even if the contract is not obtained are included in accounts receivable on our consolidated bal ance sheets when we are notified that we are not the low bidder with a corresponding reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations.

Unearned Revenue: Unearned revenue represents the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations at the end of a reporting period. We generally include a project in our unearned revenue at the time a contract is awarded, the contract has been executed and to the extent we believe funding is probable. Certain contracts contain contract options that are exercisable at the option of our customers without requiring us to go through an additional competitive bidding process or contain task orders related to master contracts under which we perform work only when the customer awards specific task orders to us. Contract options and task orders are included in unearned revenue when exercised or issued, respectively.

Substantially all of the contracts in our unearned revenue may be canceled or modified at the election of the customer; however, we have not been materially adversely affected by contract cancellations or modifications in the past. Many projects in our Construction segment are added to unearned revenue and completed within the same fiscal quarter or year and, therefore, may not be reflected in our beginning or ending unearned revenue. Approximately $2.2 billion of the June 30, 2018 unearned revenue is expected to be recognized within the next twelve months and the remaining amount will be recognized thereafter. Unearned revenue is presented by segment and operating group in Note 6.

Contract Assets: Our contract assets include amounts due under contractual retainage provisions as well as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings. The balances billed but not paid by customers pursuant to retainage provisions generally become due upon completion and acceptance of the project work or products by the owners. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings also represent amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts, including claim recovery estimates, but have a conditional right for billing and payment such as achievement of milestones or completion of the project. With the exception of customer affirmative claims, generally, such unbilled amounts will become billable according to the contract terms and generally will be billed and collected over the next twelve months. Settlement with the customer of outstanding affirmative claims is dependent on the claims resolution process and could extend beyond one year or the project operating cycle. Based on our historical experience, we generally consider the collection risk related to billable amounts to be low. When events or conditions indicate that it is probable that the amounts outstanding become unbillable, the transaction price and associated contract asset is reduced.

Costs to mobilize equipment and labor to a job site prior to substantive work beginning (“mobilization costs”) are capitalized as incurred and amortized over the expected duration of the contract. As of June 30, 2018 and January 1, 2018, we had no material capitalized mobilization costs.

Contract Liabilities: Our contract liabilities consist of provisions for losses and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings. Provisions for losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations at the uncompleted performance obligation level for the amount of total estimated losses in the period that evidence indicates that the estimated total cost of a performance obligation exceeds its estimated total revenue. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings are billings to customers on contracts in advance of work performed, including advance payments negotiated as a contract condition. Generally, unearned project-related costs will be earned over the next twelve months.

The amounts by which each condensed consolidated balance sheet line item as of June 30, 2018 and condensed consolidated statement of operations line item for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was affected by the adoption of Topic 606 relative to the previous revenue guidance are presented in the tables below (in thousands). The changes are primarily related to reclassifications on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the impact on the condensed consolidated statement of operations from the new requirements under Topic 606. The change in retained earnings is net of the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequently issued a related ASU , which requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (a) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (b) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The ASU will be effective commencing with our quarter ending March 31, 2019. We expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material increase to assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows companies to reclassify stranded tax affects resulting from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform”), from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. In addition, the ASU requires certain new disclosures regardless of the election. This ASU will be effective commencing with our quarter ending March 31, 2019. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions

On June 14, 2018, we completed the $349.8 million acquisition of Layne, a U.S.-based global water management, infrastructure services and drilling company in a stock-for-stock merger which was comprised of $321.0 million in Company common stock and $28.8 million in cash to settle all outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards and unvested performance shares of Layne. In addition to issuances of Granite common stock and the settlement of various equity awards, we assumed $191.5 million in convertible notes at fair value. See Note 14 for further discussion of the assumed convertible notes.

Layne will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Granite Construction Incorporated and its results will be reported in the newly formed Water and Mineral Services operating group in the Construction and Construction Materials segments. Layne’s customers are in both the public and private sector. Layne is a leader in water management and drilling and therefore this acquisition significantly enhances Granite’s presence in the water infrastructure market. Layne has a network of 52 offices located throughout North and Latin America. We have accounted for this transaction in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).

Included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for three and six months ending June 30, 2018 is approximately two weeks of Layne revenue and net loss before taxes of $21.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively, following the June 14, 2018 acquisition date. The loss before taxes includes Layne’s portion of total acquisition and integration expenses of $14.7 million for three and six months ending June 30, 2018.

In addition, on April 3, 2018, we acquired LiquiForce, a privately owned company which provides sewer lining rehabilitation services to public and private sector water and wastewater customers in both Canada and the U.S. The Company acquired LiquiForce for $35.9 million in cash borrowed under the r evolving credit facility as defined in Note 14 . The tangible and net intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were $14.5 million, $10.9 million and $8.6 million, respectively, resulting in acquired goodwill of $19.1 million. LiquiForce results are reported in the Kenny operating group in the Construction segment.

The net a mortization expense related to the acquired amortized intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $ 2 .7 million and was included in cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. All of the acquired intangible assets and liabilities will be amortized on a straight line basis except for backlog, favorable contracts and unfavorable contracts which will be amortized as the associated projects progress, and customer relationships which will be amortized on a double declining basis. Amortization expense related to the acquired amortized intangible asset balances at June 30, 2018 is expected to be recorded in the future as follows: $10.9 million for the remainder of 2018; $13.2 million in 2019; $10.8 million in 2020; $8.8 million in 2021; and $ 18 .4 million thereafter.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill from the acquisitions of Layne and LiquiForce include acquiring a workforce with capabilities in the global water management, construction and drilling markets, cost savings opportunities and synergies. In connection with the Layne acquisition, the assignment of goodwill to reporting units was not complete as of June 30, 2018 and is expected to be complete as of September 30, 2018. For the LiquiForce acquisition, we recorded $18.8 million within our Construction segment that was allocated to our Kenny Construction reporting unit. The goodwill from both acquisitions is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Balance at December 31, 2017	$	53,799
Layne acquisition goodwill		174,244
LiquiForce acquisition goodwill		18,838
Balance at June 30, 2018	$	246,881

Pro Forma Financial Information

The financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations of Granite and Layne, on a pro forma basis, as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of 2017 (in thousands, except per share amounts). 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 at the beginning of 2017.

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2018		2017			2018		2017

Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common shareholders		0.30		(0.29	)		0.22		(1.41	)

These amounts have been calculated after applying Granite’s accounting policies and adjusting the results of Layne 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, 2017. Acquisition and integration expenses related to Layne that were incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are reflected in the six months ended June 30, 2017 due to the assumed timing of the transaction. The statutory tax rate of 26% and 39% was used for 2018 and 2017, respectively, for the pro forma adjustments.

Acquisition and integration expenses associated with both the Layne and LiquiForce acquisitions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were comprised of the following (in thousands) :

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2018		June 30, 2018
Professional services and other expenses	$	18,064	$	26,473
Severance and personnel costs		8,223		8,223
Total	$	26,287	$	34,696

4. Revisions in Estimates

Our profit recognition related to construction contracts is based on estimates of 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. When we experience significant changes in our estimates of costs to complete, 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 cost estimates in the future.

In our review of these changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , we did not identify any material amounts that should have been recorded in a prior period. In our review of these changes for the six months ended June 30, 2017, we identified and corrected amounts that should have been recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2016. This correction resulted in a $4.9 million decrease to Large Project Construction revenue and gross profit and a $1.6 million increase in net loss attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated. We have assessed the impact of this correction to the financial statements of prior periods’ as well as to the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2017 and have concluded that the amounts were not material.

In the normal course of business, we have revisions in estimated costs some of which are associated with unresolved affirmative claims and back charges. The estimated or actual recovery related to these estimated costs 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.

Affirmative Claims

Revisions in estimates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 included net increases in revenue of $2.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively, related to the estimated cost recovery of customer affirmative claims, which included increases of $6.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively, that were also affected by an increase in estimated contract costs in excess of the estimated recovery during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 . The offsetting decreases of $4.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively, had estimated contract costs in excess of the estimated cost recovery that were recorded in prior periods.

Revisions in estimates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 included net increases in revenue of $12.2 million and $14.0 million, respectively, related to the estimated cost recovery of customer affirmative claims, which included increases of $11.4 million and $14.1 million, respectively, that were also affected by an increase in estimated contract costs in excess of the estimated recovery during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The remaining $0.8 million and offsetting decrease of $0.1 million, respectively, had estimated contract costs in excess of estimated cost recovery that were recorded in prior periods.

Back Charges

Revisions in estimates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 included reductions in cost of revenue of $1.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, related to the estimated recovery of back charges of which $0.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, had estimated contract costs in excess of estimated cost recovery during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 . The remaining $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, had estimated contract costs in excess of estimated cost recovery that were recorded in prior periods.

Revisions in estimates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 included reductions in cost of revenue of $2.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively, related to the estimated recovery of back charges of which $1.4 million had estimated contract costs in excess of estimated cost recovery during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 . The remaining $1.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, had estimated contract costs in excess of estimated cost recovery that were recorded in prior periods .

The tables below include the impact to gross profit from significant revisions in estimates related to estimated and actual recovery of customer affirmative claims and back charges as well as the impact to gross profit from changes in estimated contract revenue and costs.

Construction

The changes in project profitability from revisions in estimates, both increases and decreases, which individually had an impact of $1.0 million or more on gross profit, were net decreases of $4.5 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were decreases of $1.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The projects are summarized as follows:

The decreases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were due to higher costs than originally anticipated as well as additional weather related costs and a decrease in estimated recovery from customer affirmative claims. The decreases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were due to higher costs than originally anticipated as well as additional design, weather and owner-related costs, net of estimated and actual recovery from customer affirmative claims and back charges . As of June 30, 2018 there were three projects for which additional costs were reasonably possible in excess of the probable amounts included in the cost forecast. The reasonably possible aggregate range that has the potential to adversely impact gross profit during the year ending December 31, 2018, was zero to $15.0 million. As the related projects proceed, future estimates may change and could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows in the future.

Interest Rate Swaps

In May 2018, we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 14), terminated the interest rate swap we entered into in January 2016 and entered into two new interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with an effective date of May 2018. The two new cash flow hedges have a combined initial notional amount of $150.0 million and mature in May 2023. The interest rate swaps are designed to convert the interest rate on the term loan described in Note 14, from a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin to a fixed rate of 2.76% plus the same applicable margin. The interest rate swaps are reported at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets using Level 2 inputs. As of June 30, 2018 , December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 the fair values of the cash flow hedges were $0.5 million, $1.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, all of which were included in other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, on the effective portion reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the interest expense reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were both immaterial during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Other Assets and Liabilities

The carrying values and estimated fair values of our financial instruments that are not required to be recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

11. 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 June 30, 2018 , we determined no change to the primary beneficiary was required for existing construction joint ventures.

Due to the joint and several nature of the performance obligations under the related owner contracts, if any of the partners fail to perform, we and the remaining partners, if any, would be responsible for performance of the outstanding work (i.e., we provide a performance guarantee). At June 30, 2018 , there was approximately $3.9 billion of construction revenue to be recognized on unconsolidated and line item construction joint venture contracts of which $1.3 billion represented our share and the remaining $2.6 billion represented our partners’ share. We are not able to estimate amounts that may be required beyond the remaining cost of the work to be performed. These costs could be offset by billings to the customer or by proceeds from our partners’ and/or other guarantees.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , unconsolidated construction joint venture net income (loss) was $26.5 million and ($114.4) million, respectively, of which our post-adjustment share were net losses of ($17.7) million and ($ 13.4) million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, unconsolidated construction joint venture net income was $17.6 million and $26.2 million, respectively, of which our post-adjustment share were net losses of ($9.7) million a nd ($8.2) million, respectively. The differences between our share of the joint venture net loss during 2018 when compared to the joint venture net income (loss) primarily resulted from differences between our estimated total revenue and cost of revenue wh en compared to that of our partners’ on two projects. These joint venture net income amounts exclude our corporate overhead required to manage the joint ventures and include taxes only to the extent the applicable states have joint venture level taxes.

Line Item Joint Ventures

As of June 30, 2018 , we had one active line item joint venture construction project with a total contract value of $18.0 million of which our portion was $10.8 million. As of June 30, 2018 , our share of revenue remaining to be recognized on this line item joint venture was $10.6 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , our portion of revenue from line item joint ventures was $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, our portion of revenue from line item joint ventures was $6.8 million and $14.7 million, respectively.

12. Investments in Affiliates

Our investments in affiliates balance is related to our investments in unconsolidated non-construction entities that we account for using the equity method of accounting, including investments in foreign affiliates, real estate entities and an asphalt terminal entity.

As part of the acquisition of Layne, we acquired investments in foreign affiliates that are engaged in mineral drilling services and the manufacture and supply of drilling equipment, parts and supplies in Latin America. The real estate entities were formed to accomplish specific real estate development projects in which our wholly-owned subsidiary, Granite Land Company, participates with third-party partners. The asphalt terminal entity is a 50% interest in a limited liability company which owns and operates an asphalt terminal and operates an emulsion plant in Nevada.

Our investments in affiliates balance consists of the following:

¹ The balance primarily relates to debt associated with our real estate investments. The increase in the balance since December 31, 2017 is related to debt of our investments in foreign affiliates associated with purchase of equipment and buildings.

The equity method investments in real estate affiliates included $24.0 million, $24.3 million and $22.2 million in residential real estate in Texas as of June 30, 2018 , December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The remaining balances were in commercial real estate in Texas. Of the $310.3 million in total assets as of June 30, 2018 , real estate entities had total assets ranging from $0.3 million to $68.2 million, the non-real estate entity had total assets of $20.4 million and the foreign entities had total assets ranging from $0.1 million to $64.6 million. We have direct and indirect investments in the foreign entities and our percent ownership ranged from 25.0% to 50.0% as of June 30, 2018.

Senior Notes Payable

Senior notes payable in the amount of $80.0 million as of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and in the amount of $120.0 million as of June 30, 2017 were due to a group of institutional holders and had an interest rate of 6.11% per annum (“2019 Notes”). As of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $40.0 million of the outstanding balance was included in long-term debt and the remaining $40.0 million was included in current maturities of long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2017, $10.0 million of the outstanding balance was included in current maturities of long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The remaining $110.0 million was included in long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, including $30.0 million due for the 2017 installment as we had the ability and intent to pay the 2017 installment using borrowings under the Credit Agreement or by obtaining other sources of financing.

Credit Agreement

Granite entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May 31, 2018 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, (i) an increase in the total committed credit facility amount to $500.0 million from $300.0 million, of which $150.0 million is a term loan (all of which was drawn on May 31, 2018) and $350.0 million is a revolving credit facility; (ii) an additional increase to the revolving credit facility and/or term loan at the option of the Company, in an aggregate maximum amount up to $200.0 million subject to the lenders providing the additional commitments; (iii) a revised maturity date of May 31, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”) and (iv) the elimination of the stipulation to have a $150 million minimum cash balance before and after a dividend payment. There was no change in the aggregate sublimit for letters of credit of $100.0 million nor was there any significant change to the affirmative, restrictive or financial covenant terms except for the removal of the minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth financial covenant requirement and an increase of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio financial covenant requirement from 3.00 to 3.50 for the four quarters subsequent to a permitted acquisition with cash consideration in excess of $100.0 million.

Of the $150.0 million term loan, 1.25% of the principal balance is due each quarter beginning in September 2018 and the remaining balance is due on the Maturity Date. As of June 30, 2018 , December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, $7.5 million, $6.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of the term loan balance was included in current maturities of long-term debt and the remaining $142.5 million, $83.8 million and $87.5 million, respectively, was included in long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets .

As of June 30, 2018, the total stated amount of all issued and outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement was $33.0 million . As of June 30, 2018 , December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, $99.0 million, $55.0 million and $30.0 million had been drawn on the revolving credit facility primarily to fund the Layne and LiquiForce acquisitions and to service the 2016 and 2017 installments of the 2019 Notes, respectively. As of June 30, 2018 , the total unused availability under the Credit Agreement was $218.0 million . The letters of credit will expire between July 2018 and June 2019.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at LIBOR or a base rate (at our option), plus an applicable margin based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio calculated quarterly. LIBOR varies based on the applicable loan term, market conditions and other external factors. The applicable margin was 1.63% for loans bearing interest based on LIBOR and 0.63% for loans bearing interest at the base rate at June 30, 2018 . Accordingly, the effective interest rate using three-month LIBOR and base rate was 3.96% and 5.63% , respectively, at June 30, 2018 and we elected to use LIBOR for both the term loan and the revolving credit facility. In May 2018, we entered into an interest rate swap to convert the interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement from a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin to a fixed rate of 2.76% plus the same applicable margin.

Borrowings at the base rate have no designated term and may be repaid without penalty any time prior to the Maturity Date. Borrowings bearing interest at a LIBOR rate have a term no less than one month and no greater than six months (a longer period, not to exceed 12 months, if approved by all lenders). At the end of each term, such borrowings can be paid or continued at our discretion as either a borrowing at the base rate or a borrowing at a LIBOR rate with similar terms and the same or different permitted interest period. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and are collateralized on an equivalent basis with the obligations under the 2019 Notes by first priority liens (subject only to other permitted liens) on substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of our subsidiaries that are required to be guarantors or borrowers under the Credit Agreement; however, a waiver of the requirement for Layne to become a guarantor and provide liens on its assets has been obtained until the 8.0% Convertible Notes (defined below) are redeemed or converted.

The Credit Agreement provides for the release of the liens securing the obligations at our option and expense, so long as certain conditions as defined by the terms in the Credit Agreement are satisfied (“Collateral Release Period”). However, if subsequent to exercising the option, our Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is less than 1.25 or our Consolidated Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.50, then we would be required to promptly re-pledge substantially all of the assets of the Company and our subsidiaries that are guarantors or borrowers under the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2018, the conditions for the exercise of our right under Credit Agreement to have liens released were not satisfied.

Convertible Notes

In connection with our acquisition of Layne, we assumed fair value of $69.9 million of convertible notes that have an interest rate of 4.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 (“4.25% Convertible Notes”). The 4.25% Convertible Notes mature on November 15, 2018, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted and are convertible at the option of the holders until the close of business on November 14, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, $69.9 million was included in current maturities of long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Subsequent to the Merger Agreement, cash was elected as the settlement method for conversion of the 4.25% Convertible Notes. As of June 30, 2018, the conversion rate was 11.8012 shares of Granite’s common stock per $1,000 in principal of the 4.25% Convertible Notes providing a conversion price of approximately $84.74 per share of Granite’s common stock.

Also in connection with our acquisition of Layne, we assumed fair value of $121.6 million of convertible notes that have an interest rate of 8.0% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 (“8.0% Convertible Notes”). The 8.0% Convertible Notes mature on May 1, 2019; however, if any of the then outstanding 4.25% Convertible Notes remain outstanding on August 15, 2018, the 8.0% Convertible Notes will mature on August 15, 2018 (“Maturity Date”). As of June 30, 2018, $90.9 million was included in current maturities of long-term debt and the premium of $30.7 million associated with the conversion feature was included in additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As of June 30, 2018, the conversion rate of the 8.0% Convertible Notes was 23.1305 shares of Granite’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 8.0% Convertible Notes providing a conversion price of approximately $43.23 per share of Granite’s common stock. Prior to the Maturity Date, the notes may be converted to Granite common stock at the election of the note holders.

Covenants and Events of Default

Our debt and credit agreements require us to comply with various affirmative, restrictive and financial covenants, including the financial covenants described below. Our failure to comply with any of these covenants, or to pay principal, interest or other amounts when due thereunder, would constitute an event of default under the applicable agreements. Under certain circumstances, the occurrence of an event of default under one of our debt or credit agreements (or the acceleration of the maturity of the indebtedness under one of our agreements) may constitute an event of default under one or more of our other debt or credit agreements. Default under our debt and credit agreements could result in (i) us no longer being entitled to borrow under the agreements; (ii) termination of the agreements; (iii) the requirement that any letters of credit under the agreements be cash collateralized; (iv) acceleration of the maturity of outstanding indebtedness under the agreements and/or (v) foreclosure on any collateral securing the obligations under the agreements.

The most significant financial covenants under the terms of our Credit Agreement and related to the note purchase agreement governing our 2019 Notes (“2019 NPA”) require the maintenance of a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio. In addition, the 2019 NPA requires a minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth.

As of June 30, 2018 and pursuant to the definitions in the 2019 NPA, which is more restrictive, our Consolidated Tangible Net Worth was $1.0 billion , which exceeded the minimum of $757.3 million , our Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 2.10 which did not exceed the maximum of 3.00. Our Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio was 23.92 which exceeded the minimum of 4.00.

As of June 30, 2018 , we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and related to the 2019 NPA. We are not aware of any non-compliance by any of our unconsolidated real estate entities with the covenants contained in their debt agreements.

16. Income Taxes

The following table presents the provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the respective periods:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2018			2017			2018			2017
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes	$	2,796		$	8,088		$	(1,335	)	$	(4,408	)
Effective tax rate		(85.1	%)		33.2	%		7.8	%		36.8	%

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased to (85.1%) from 33.2% and to 7.8% from 36.8%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017. This change was primarily due to a decrease in the effective tax rate due to Tax Reform enacted in December 2017, one-time nondeductible acquisition and integration expenses and an increase in the loss (income) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes.

On December 22, 2017, Tax Reform was signed into law. As a result of Tax Reform, the U.S. statutory tax rate was lowered from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, a territorial tax system was implemented, and a one-time repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries was imposed, among other changes. ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes , requires companies to recognize the effect of tax law changes in the period of enactment. ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.118, allows a company to record a provisional amount when it does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain tax effects of Tax Reform. The Company has recognized the provisional tax impacts of Tax Reform in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. On June 14, 2018, the Company acquired Layne recognizing provisional tax impacts of Tax Reform in the opening balance sheet including assessing our intent to indefinitely reinvest certain earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and affiliates. The majority of the provisional tax impacts of Tax Reform recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2018 are related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and the one-time repatriation tax. Based on a review of the guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service in the second quarter of 2018, no adjustment to the provisional amounts recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, as of June 30, 2018, was deemed necessary. We continue to assess new guidance and refine our computation of the provisional tax impacts discussed above and will complete our analysis within the one-year measurement period ending December 22, 2018.

Approximately $15.0 million of uncertain tax position liability was assumed as part of the Layne acquisition and was recorded in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2018.

18. Legal Proceeding s

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 cannot be predicted with certainty. 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 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.

Accordingly, it is possible that future developments in such proceedings and inquiries could require us to (i) adjust 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 to matters that are considered probable for which the loss can be reasonably estimated, disclosure is also provided when it is reasonably possible and estimable that a loss will be incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the amount recorded.

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 our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate liabilities recorded as of June 30, 2018 , December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 related to these matters were approximately $1.0 million, $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and were primarily included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate range of possible loss related to (i) matters considered reasonably possible, and (ii) reasonably possible amounts in excess of accrued l osses 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.

Overview

We are one of the largest diversified heavy civil contractors and construction materials producers in the United States, engaged in the construction and improvement of streets, roads, highways, mass transit facilities, airport infrastructure, bridges, trenchless and underground utilities, power-related facilities, water-related facilities, utilities, tunnels, dams and other infrastructure-related projects. We have three reportable business segments: Construction, Large Project Construction and Construction Materials (see Note 19 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”).

On June 14, 2018, we completed the $349.8 million acquisition of Layne Construction Company (“Layne”), a U.S.-based global water management, infrastructure services and drilling company in a stock-for-stock merger which was comprised of $321.0 million in Company common stock and $28.8 million in cash to settle all outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards and unvested performance shares of Layne. In addition to issuances of Granite common stock and the settlement of various equity awards, we assumed $191.5 million in convertible notes at fair value. See Note 14 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further discussion of the assumed convertible notes.

Layne will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Granite Construction Incorporated and its results are reported in the newly formed Water and Mineral Services operating group in the Construction and Construction Materials segments. LiquiForce results are reported in the Kenny operating group in the Construction segment.

In addition to business segments, we review our business by operating groups. Our operating groups are defined as follows: (i) California; (ii) Northwest, which primarily includes offices in Alaska, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Washington; (iii) Heavy Civil, which primarily includes offices in California, Florida, New York and Texas; (iv) Kenny, which primarily includes offices in Illinois and Canada and (v) Water and Mineral Services, which primarily includes offices in North America, Brazil and Latin America .

The four primary economic drivers of our business are (i) the overall health of the U.S. economy; (ii) federal, state and local public funding levels; (iii) population growth resulting in public and private development and (iv) the need to replace or repair aging infrastructure. 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

The above noted acquisitions extend our reach, as we execute our strategy to diversify and grow across geographies in the water, wastewater, and mining markets. We are confident that our focus on growth through end-market and geographic diversification, combined with stable-to-improving demand trends in these and other end markets, will fuel steady, long-term value creation for Granite’s stakeholders.

Public and private markets are creating opportunities for growth, even while these markets remain highly competitive. Company contract backlog of $3.65 billion continues to reflect a backdrop of consistent, modest economic growth. Private market activity remains a key growth and diversification opportunity across our business, and its portion of our portfolio continues to expand in focus and prominence. Today, public infrastructure investment is beginning to grow at state, regional, and local levels, and this investment provides our industry with visibility to funding that we have not experienced in more than a decade. This positive, multi-year public-spending demand will provide the most uplift for Granite through our Construction and Construction Materials segments.

Managing risks and being compensated appropriately for the complex skills and resources required to build tomorrow's great public infrastructure projects helps to guide our expectations going forward. This is even more accentuated in our Large Project Construction strategy, as we prioritize and pursue billions of dollars’ worth of future North American projects. The market for these projects remains robust, and we are acutely focused on projects with appropriate returns relative to risks.

Having improved state and local federal base funding visibility through 2020, the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (“FAST”) Act remains a stabilizing force. Increased public investment has grown bottom-up for the past six years at state and local levels, with more than half of U.S. states acting individually to increase maintenance and to reinvest in transportation infrastructure. As a result, state- and local-led program expansions, coupled with Federal and private-sector strength are now key contributors to the most balanced market activity and visibility to funding that we have seen since the mid-2000s.

Following the close of the second quarter, we received notification of project wins that are not yet included in our backlog. These four project wins across four operating groups total more than $875 million, with these projects expected to enter our backlog in the second half of 2018 and early 2019.

Results of Operations

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 of a given quarter are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The following table presents a financial summary for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

Construction revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $3.0 million, or 0.7%, and $45.4 million, or 6.9%, respectively, when compared to 2017. In addition to increases in the Water and Mineral Services operating group from the Layne acquisition, the increases were due to a volume increase in the public sector of the California operating group from improved success rate on bidding activity on highway rehabilitation work and from entering the periods with greater contract backlog. In addition, increases in the private sector of the Northwest operating group were due to new awards and entering the periods with greater contract backlog. These increases were partially offset by decreases in the public sector of the Northwest operating group and Kenny operating groups as well as both sectors of the Heavy Civil operating group from beginning the periods with lower contract backlog and the private sector of the Kenny operating group from reduced volume.

¹ For the periods presented, this Large Project Construction revenue was earned only from the public sector.

Large Project Construction revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $19.5 million, or 7.7%, and $60.9 million, or 13.2%, respectively, when compared to 2017 primarily due to increased beginning backlog and progress on new projects in our Heavy Civil operating group partially offset by a net negative impact from revisions in estimates (see Note 4 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information).

As of June 30, 2018 , there were three projects for which additional costs were reasonably possible in excess of the probable amounts included in the cost forecast. The reasonably possible aggregate range that has the potential to adversely impact gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2018 was zero to $15.0 million. As the related projects proceed, future estimates may change and could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows in the future.

Construction Materials revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $21.8 million, or 27.5%, and $33.0 million, or 29.0%, respectively, when compared to 2017 primarily due to increases in aggregate and asphalt pricing and volume.

Contract Backlog

Our contract backlog consists of the revenue we expect to record in the future on awarded contracts, including 100% of our consolidated joint venture contracts and our proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture contracts. We generally include a project in our contract backlog at the time it is awarded and to the extent we believe contract execution and funding is probable. Awarded contracts that include unexercised contract options or unissued task orders are included in contract backlog to the extent option exercise or task order issuance is probable. Substantially all of the contracts in our contract backlog may be canceled or modified at the election of the customer; however, we have not been materially adversely affected by contract cancellations or modifications in the past.

Construction contract backlog of $1.3 billion at June 30, 2018 was $294.4 million, or 30.1%, higher than at March 30, 2018. In addition to increases in the Water and Mineral Services operating group from the Layne acquisition, the increase was due to new awards in the public sector of the California and Kenny operating groups and private sector of Northwest operating group. Significant new awards during the three months ended June 30, 2018 included an expressway construction project California and an interstate improvement contract in Chicago.

Construction gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $0.7 million, or 1.1%, and $11.7 million, or 13.3%, respectively, when compared to 2017. The increases were primarily due to increased revenue volume and margin improvement in our California operating group due to favorable weather and an increase in highway rehabilitation work partially offset by a decline in our Kenny operating group from reduced revenue volume.

Large Project Construction gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $0.8 million, or over 100%, and $18.7 million, or over 100%, respectively, when compared to 2017. Large Project Construction gross profit as a percentage of segment revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased to 0.5% from 0.2% and from 0.7% to 4.2%, respectively, when compared to 2017. The increases were primarily due to progression on projects with higher beginning backlog margin partially offset by an increase in net negative impact from revisions in estimates compared to 2017 (see Note 4 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”).

Construction Materials gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased by $4.3 million, or 32.6%, and $6.6 million, or 78.1%, respectively, when compared to 2017 primarily due to increased revenue volume as well as margin improvement driven by cost efficiency in the California operating group and price increases in the Northwest operating group.

Percent of revenue		7.6	%		6.7	%		8.9	%		9.2	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $9.9 million, or 19.3%, and $9.3 million, or 8.3%, respectively, when compared to 2017. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased to 7.6% from 6.7% and decreased to 8.9% from 9.2%, respectively.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses include the costs for estimating and bidding, 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 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $4.6 million, or 30.8%, and $4.8 million, or 14.8%, when compared to 2017 primarily due to the addition of Layne and LiquiForce expenses as well as costs from increased bidding activities.

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, changes in the fair market value of our Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation plan liability and other miscellaneous expenses, none of which individually exceeded 10% of total general and administrative expenses. Total general and administrative expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased $5.3 million, or 14.6%, and $4.5 million, or 5.6%, respectively, when compared to 2017 due to increases in other general and administrative expenses primarily from the addition of Layne and LiquiForce expenses.

Acquisition and Integration expenses

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2018		2017		2018		2017
Acquisition and integration expenses	$	26,287	$	—	$	34,696	$	—

Of the total acquisition and integration expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, $8.2 million was related to severance costs and $18.1 million and $26.5 million, respectively, was related to external transaction costs and professional fees. All of these costs were associated with the acquisition and integration of LiquiForce and Layne .

Table of Contents

Income Taxes

The following table presents the provision for (benefit from) income taxes for the respective periods:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2018			2017			2018			2017
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes	$	2,796		$	8,088		$	(1,335	)	$	(4,408	)
Effective tax rate		(85.1	%)		33.2	%		7.8	%		36.8	%

We calculate our income tax provision at the end of each interim period by estimating our annual effective tax rate and applying that rate to our income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes. The effect of changes in enacted tax laws, tax rates or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. See Note 16 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information.

Certain Legal Proceedings

As discussed in Note 18 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”, under certain circumstances the resolution of certain legal proceedings to which we are subject could have direct or indirect consequences that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and/or liquidity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The timing differences between our cash inflows and outflows require us to maintain adequate levels of working capital. We believe our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, available borrowing capacity and cash expected to be generated from operations 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 maintain a collateralized credit facility of $500.0 million, of which $218.0 million was available at June 30, 2018 , to provide capital needs to fund growth opportunities, either internal or generated through acquisitions or to pay installments on our 2019 Notes. See the Senior Notes Payable and Credit Agreement sections of Note 14 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for definition and further discussion on our 2019 Notes and Credit Agreement. If we experience a prolonged change in our business operating results or make a significant acquisition, we may need additional sources of financing, which, even if available, may be limited by the terms of our existing debt covenants, or may require the amendment of our existing debt agreements. There can be no assurance that sufficient capital will continue to be available in the future or that it will be available on terms acceptable to us.

Absent a material change in our financial condition, we believe the credit facility includes sufficient capacity to address the maturities of the 4.25% and 8.00% Convertible Notes assumed from the acquisition of Layne. See Convertible Notes section of Note 14 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further discussion on these assumed notes.

Our revenue, gross profit and the resulting cash flows can differ significantly from period to period due to a variety of factors, including our projects’ progressions toward completion, outstanding contract change orders and affirmative claims and the payment terms of our contracts. While we typically invoice our customers on a monthly basis, our contracts frequently call for retention that is a specified percentage withheld from each payment until the contract is completed and the work accepted by the customer.

The following table presents our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, including amounts from our consolidated construction joint ventures ( “ CCJVs ” ), as of the respective dates:

(in thousands )	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017		June 30, 2017
Cash and cash equivalents excluding CCJVs	$	113,468	$	139,352	$	97,873
CCJV cash and cash equivalents ¹		82,047		94,359		80,195
Total consolidated cash and cash equivalents		195,515		233,711		178,068
Short-term and long-term marketable securities ²		81,205		132,790		107,811
Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities	$	276,720	$	366,501	$	285,879

¹ The volume and stage of completion of contracts from our CCJVs may cause fluctuations in joint venture cash and cash equivalents between periods. These funds generally are not available for the working capital or other liquidity needs of Granite until distributed.

² See Note 9 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for the composition of our marketable securities.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash generated from operations. We may also from time to time access our credit facility, issue and sell equity, debt or hybrid securities or engage in other capital markets transactions.

Table of Contents

Our cash and cash equivalents consisted of deposits and money market funds held with established national financial institutions. Marketable securities consist of U.S. Government and agency obligations and corporate bonds.

Granite’s portion of CCJV cash and cash equivalents was $47.4 million, $56.5 million and $48.8 million as of June 30, 2018 , December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. Excluded from the table above is Granite’s portion of unconsolidated construction joint venture cash and cash equivalents of $97.6 million, $91.0 million and $106.6 million as of June 30, 2018 , December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. 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.

Our principal uses of liquidity are 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 and acquire assets or businesses that are complementary to our operations.

Cash Flows

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2018			2017
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	(75,445	)	$	22,686
Investing activities		(38,480	)		(14,726	)
Financing activities		81,475			(19,218	)

As a large construction and heavy civil contractor and construction materials producer, our operating cash flows are subject to seasonal cycles, as well as the cycles associated with winning, performing and closing projects. 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 claims 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.

Excluding the effect of acquired receivables, day’s sales outstanding increased 3 days to 58 days as of June 30, 2018 from 55 days at June 30, 2017 primarily due to an increase in contract assets/cost in excess of billings and estimated earnings, net related to a contract for which we have a pending affirmative claim. Excluding the effect of acquired accounts payable, day’s payables outstanding decreased 2 days to 56 days as of June 30, 2018 from 58 days at June 30, 2017 due to timing of salary accruals.

Cash used in operating activities of $75.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 represents a $98.1 million increase when compared to 2017. The change was primarily due to a $76.3 million increase in net contributions to unconsolidated joint ventures, a $29.3 million increase in cash used in working capital partially offset by $5.8 million increase in cash provided by net income after adjusting for non-cash items. The increase in cash used in working capital was due to a $2.5 million decrease in cash used in working capital assets and a $31.8 million decrease in cash provided by working capital liabilities. The decrease in cash provided by working capital liabilities was primarily due to a 2 day decrease in DPO and relative volume.

Cash used by investing activities of $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 represents a $23.8 million increase when compared to 2017. The change was primarily due to the acquisitions of Layne and LiquiForce partially offset by an increase in maturities, net of purchases, of marketable securities and in purchases, net of sales proceeds, of property and equipment (see Capital Expenditures discussion below).

Cash provided by f inancing activities of $81.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 represents a $100.7 million increase when compared to 2017. The change was primarily due to $105.0 million in revolving credit facility draws that were made to fund portions of the Layne and LiquiForce acquisitions (Note 14 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”).

Capital Expenditures

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 , we had capital expenditures of $36.5 million compared to $37.5 million during 2017. 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. As part of the Layne acquisition, we acquired $187.9 million in property and equipment. We currently anticipate 2018 capital expenditures to be between $105.0 million and $115.0 million for the full year.

Derivatives

We recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value using Level 2 inputs.

In May 2018, we terminated the interest rate swap we entered into in January 2016 due to the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement (as defined in Credit Agreement section of Note 14 to “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”). In May 2018, we entered into two interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with an effective date of May 2018 and a combined initial notional amount of $150.0 million and mature in May 2023. The interest rate swaps are designed to convert the interest rate on our term loan from a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin to a fixed rate of 2.76% plus the same applicable margin.

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 June 30, 2018 , approximately $3.1 billion of our contract backlog 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 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.

Covenants and Events of Default

As of June 30, 2018 and pursuant to the definitions in the 2019 NPA, which is more restrictive , our Consolidated Tangible Net Worth was $1.0 billion, which exceeded the minimum of $757.3 million and our Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 2.10, which did not exceed the maximum of 3.00. Our Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio was 23.92, which exceeded the minimum of 4.00.

As of June 30, 2018 , we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and related to the 2019 Notes. We are not aware of any non-compliance by any of our unconsolidated real estate entities with the covenants contained in their debt agreements.

Share Purchase Program

On April 7, 2016, we announced that the Board of Directors authorized us to purchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock at management’s discretion, which replaced the former authorization including the amount available. We did not purchase shares under the share purchase program in any of the periods presented. The specific timing and amount of any future purchases will vary based on market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors.

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As part of our acquisition of Layne and LiquiForce, we now are exposed to incremental market risks.

Foreign Currency Risk

Operating in international markets involves exposure to possible volatile movements in currency exchange rates. Layne’s international operations are in Mexico, Canada and Brazil and LiquiForce has international operations in Canada. Layne’s affiliates also operate in Latin America (see Note 12 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”). The majority of the customer contracts in Mexico are U.S. dollar-based, reducing the exposure to currency fluctuations. As of June 30, 2018, we do not have any outstanding foreign currency option contracts.

As foreign currency exchange rates change, the impact to our consolidated statements of operations could be significant and may affect year-to-year comparability of operating results. The impact from foreign currency transactions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was immaterial.

Item 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

Our management carried out, as of June 30, 2018 , with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2018 , our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018 , there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The description of the matters set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Report under Note 18 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A.

RISK FA CTORS

Except as set forth below, there has been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017:

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and any determination that we or any of our subsidiaries has violated the FCPA could have a material adverse effect on our business. The FCPA generally prohibits companies and their affiliates from making improper payment to non-U.S. officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Our internal policies, procedures and code of conduct mandate compliance with these anti-corruption laws. However, with the acquisition of Layne we now operate in some countries known to experience corruption. Despite our training and compliance programs, we cannot assure that our internal policies and procedures will always protect us from violation of such anti-corruption laws committed by our affiliated entities or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents. We could also face fines, sanctions and other penalties from authorities in the relevant foreign jurisdictions, including prohibition of our participating in or curtailment of business operations in those jurisdictions and the seizure of certain of our assets. Our customers in those jurisdictions could also seek to impose penalties or take other actions adverse to our interest. In addition, we could face other third-party claims by our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, advisors, attorneys, agents, stockholders, debt holders or other interest holders or constituents. Violations of FCPA laws, allegations of such violations and/or disclosure related to any relevant investigation could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity for reasons including, but not limited to, an adverse effect our reputation, our ability to obtain new business or retain existing business, to attract and retain employees, to access the capital markets and/or could give rise to an event of default under the agreements governing our debt instruments

Table of Contents

In connection with acquisitions or divestitures, we may become subject to liabilities. In connection with any acquisi tions, we may acquire liabilities or defects such as legal claims, including but not limited to third party liability and other tort claims; claims for breach of contract; employment-related claims; environmental liabilities, conditions or damage; permitti ng, regulatory or other compliance with law issues; or tax liabilities. If we acquire any of these liabilities, and they are not adequately covered by insurance or an enforceable indemnity or similar agreement from a creditworthy counterparty, we may be re sponsible for significant out-of-pocket expenditures. In connection with any divestitures, we may incur liabilities for breaches of representations and warranties or failure to comply with operating covenants under any agreement for a divestiture. In addit ion, we may indemnify a counterparty in a divestiture for certain liabilities of the subsidiary or operations subject to the divestiture transaction. These liabilities, if they materialize, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial co ndition and results of operations.

Item 2.

¹ The number of shares purchased is in connection with employee tax withholding for units vested under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan.

² On April 7, 2016, we announced that our the Board of Directors authorized us to purchase up to $200.0 million of our common stock at management’s discretion, which replaced the former authorization including the amount available. We did not purchase shares under the share purchase plan in any of the periods presented. The specific timing and amount of any future purchases will vary based on market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors.
