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, 2021 (“Annual Report”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Further, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly our financial position at September 30, 2022 and 2021 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The December 31, 2021 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.
We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements, except for the adoptions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020 - 06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470 - 20 ) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity ’ s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 - 40 ): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity ’ s Own Equity (“ASU 2020 - 06” ) on January 1, 2022, ASUs 2020 - 04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848 ): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020 - 04” ) and 2021 - 01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848 ): Scope (“ASU 2021 - 01” ), on June 30, 2022, the impacts of which are described in Note 2.
Stock Purchase Programs:
On
May 2, 2022,
we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“Accelerated Share Repurchase”) with Bank of Montreal. The Accelerated Share Repurchase was entered into pursuant to the existing share repurchase program. On

Discontinued Operations: During the fourth quarter of 2021, we concluded that the assets and liabilities of our former Water and Mineral Services operating group (“WMS”) met the criteria for classification as held for sale and the results of operations were presented as discontinued operations. This included: our trenchless and pipe rehabilitation services business (“Inliner”); our water supply, treatment, delivery and maintenance business (“Water Resources”); and our mineral exploration drilling business (“Mineral Services”). During the first quarter of 2022, we completed the sale of Inliner. As discussed in more detail in Note 3, in the third quarter of 2022, we determined that the remaining WMS businesses, Water Resources and Mineral Services, no longer met the criteria for classification as held for sale, and therefore also no longer qualified for presentation as discontinued operations. We reclassified WMS from discontinued operations to continuing operations and it is reported within the Mountain operating group. The operations of the remaining WMS businesses fall within the Construction segment. Prior periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations have been conformed to the current period presentation. The assets and liabilities of WMS met the criteria for classification as held for sale as of December 31, 2021, therefore our condensed consolidated balance sheet continues to reflect these assets and liabilities as held for sale as of that date.
Seasonality: Our operations are typically affected more by weather conditions during the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year which may alter our construction schedules and can create variability in our revenues and profitability. Therefore, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020 - 04, which provides optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for the effects of the transition away from LIBOR and other reference rates. Also, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021 - 01, which provided clarification guidance to ASU 2020 - 04. We adopted these ASUs during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, in conjunction with entering into our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (see Note 15 ), which replaced the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for purposes of setting floating interest rates. The adoption of these ASUs did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

3. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
As discussed in Note 1, during the fourth quarter of 2021 , our Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the businesses in WMS within the next twelve months. This included: Inliner, Water Resources and Mineral Services. After consideration of the relevant facts at the time, we concluded the assets and liabilities of our WMS businesses met the criteria for classification as held for sale. We concluded the proposed disposal activities represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our operations and financial results and qualified for presentation as discontinued operations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205 - 20, Presentation of financial statements - Discontinued operations. Additionally, beginning December 31, 2021, in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment , we ceased recording depreciation and amortization for WMS property, plant and equipment, finite-lived tangible assets and right-of-use lease assets.
During the
first
quarter of
2022
,
we completed the sale of Inliner for a purchase price of $
In the
third
quarter of
2022,
we announced our decision to retain the Water Resources and Mineral Services businesses. This change to our plan of sale was due to unfavorable market conditions which undermined our efforts to secure an appropriate value for the businesses. As a result, we have reclassified WMS from discontinued operations to continuing operations for all periods presented. We recorded $

4. Revisions in Estimates
Our profit recognition related to construction contracts is based on estimates of transaction price and costs to complete each project. These estimates can vary significantly in the normal course of business as projects progress, circumstances develop and evolve, and uncertainties are resolved. Changes in estimates of transaction price and costs to complete may result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue if the current estimate adversely differs from the previous estimate. In addition, the estimated or actual recovery related to estimated costs associated with unresolved affirmative claims and back charges may be recorded in future periods or may be at values below the associated cost, which can cause fluctuations in the gross profit impact from revisions in estimates.
When we experience significant revisions in our estimates, we undergo a process that includes reviewing the nature of the changes to ensure that there are no material amounts that should have been recorded in a prior period rather than as revisions in estimates for the current period. For revisions in estimates, generally we use the cumulative catch-up method for changes to the transaction price that are part of a single performance obligation. Under this method, revisions in estimates are accounted for in their entirety in the period of change. There can be no assurance that we will not experience further changes in circumstances or otherwise be required to revise our estimates in the future.
In our review of these changes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 , we did not identify any material amounts that should have been recorded in a prior period.

The decreases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were due to additional costs related to extended project duration, increased labor and materials costs, and disputed work being performed where there are ongoing legal claims. The decreases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were due to additional costs from acceleration of work and extended project duration with lower productivity than originally anticipated and weather impacts.

We disaggregate our revenue based on our reportable segments (see Note 19 ) and operating groups as these are the formats that are regularly reviewed by management. Our reportable segments are: Construction and Materials. In alphabetical order, our operating groups are: California, Central and Mountain. In connection with the reclassification of the WMS businesses from discontinued operations to continuing operations, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations have been revised to include Inliner through the date of sale, Water Resources and Mineral Services in the Mountain operating group for all periods presented (see Note 3 ).

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2022 , 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

Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were lower than the prior year primarily due to a tax benefit associated with the reversal of deferred tax liabilities related to the Water Resources and Mineral Services businesses no longer being held for sale and the release of valuation allowances related to the utilization of capital loss carryforwards. The benefit for both items was recognized in the current quarter. For additional information on assets and liabilities no longer held for sale see discussion in Note 1 and Note 3.

18. 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 previously have been reasonably estimated. Such changes could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows in any reporting period. Disclosure of loss contingencies is provided 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 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 reasonably estimable.
The total liabilities for legal proceedings recorded as of

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 include 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 considered 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.
Securities Litigation and Derivative Lawsuits
On August 13, 2019, a securities class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, James H. Roberts, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, and Jigisha Desai, our former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer. An amended complaint was filed on February 20, 2020 that, among other things, added Laurel Krzeminski, our former Chief Financial Officer, as a defendant. The amended complaint was brought on behalf of an alleged class of persons or entities that acquired our common stock between April 30, 2018 and October 24, 2019, and alleged claims arising under Sections 10 (b) and 20 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b - 5 thereunder. After the filing of the amended complaint, this case was re-titled Police Retirement System of St. Louis v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et. al . The amended complaint sought damages based on allegations that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts in the Company’s SEC filings about its business, operations and prospects. On May 20, 2020, the court denied, in part, our motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On January 21, 2021, the court granted the plaintiff’s motion for class certification.
On October 23, 2019, a putative class action lawsuit, titled Nasseri v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et. al. , was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Cruz against the Company, James H. Roberts, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, Laurel Krzeminski, our former Chief Financial Officer, and the then-serving Board of Directors on behalf of persons who acquired shares of Company common stock in the Company’s June 2018 merger with Layne Christensen Company (“Layne”). The complaint asserted causes of action under the Securities Act of 1933 and alleged that the registration statement and prospectus were negligently prepared and included materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose facts required to be disclosed and seeks monetary damages based on the allegations. On August 10, 2020, the court sustained our demurrer dismissing the complaint with leave to amend. On September 16, 2020, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. We filed a demurrer seeking to dismiss the amended complaint. On April 9, 2021, the court entered an order overruling our demurrer seeking to dismiss the amended complaint. On May 14, 2021, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification.
On
April 29, 2021,
we entered into a stipulation of settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to settle

On May 6, 2020, a stockholder derivative lawsuit, titled English v. Roberts, et al. , was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against James H. Roberts, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, Jigisha Desai, our former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, Laurel Krzeminski, our former Chief Financial Officer, and our then-current Board of Directors, and the Company, as a nominal defendant, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that allegedly occurred between April 30, 2018 and October 24, 2019. The lawsuit alleges that the individual defendants each knowingly inflated the Company’s revenue, income, and margins in violation of U.S. GAAP, which caused the results during the relevant periods to be materially false and misleading. The complaint seeks monetary damages and corporate governance reforms. Pursuant to court order, this action was stayed until the court's entry of final judgment on March 17, 2022 in the putative securities class action lawsuit filed in the Northern District of California.
On May 12, 2021, a stockholder derivative lawsuit, titled Davydov v. Roberts, et al. , was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against James H. Roberts, Jigisha Desai, Laurel Krzeminski, Craig Hall, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Compliance Officer, and Secretary, and our then-current Board of Directors, and the Company, as a nominal defendant, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty that allegedly occurred between April 30, 2018 and October 24, 2019. The lawsuit alleges that the individual defendants each knowingly inflated the Company’s revenue, income, and margins in violation of U.S. GAAP, which caused the results during the relevant periods to be materially false and misleading. The complaint seeks monetary damages and corporate governance reforms.
On
April 14, 2022,

As of September 30, 2022 , December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021 , other than the Settlement Agreement charge described above, we did not record any liability related to the above matters because we concluded such liabilities were resolved or not probable and the amounts of such liabilities were not reasonably estimable.
Other Matters
In connection with our prior disclosure of the Audit/Compliance Committee’s independent investigation of prior-period reporting for the former Heavy Civil operating group and the extent to which those matters affected the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (the “Investigation”), we voluntarily contacted the San Francisco office of the SEC Division of Enforcement regarding the Investigation. The SEC issued subpoenas for documents in connection with the accounting issues identified in the Investigation. We produced documents to the SEC and fully cooperated with the SEC in its investigation. In the

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, 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.

19. Reportable Segment Information
During the fourth quarter of 2021, we updated our strategy to focus on our core business capabilities, to leverage our current geographic based home markets in the civil construction and materials business and to target expansion based upon that combined strategy. In addition, we revised the financial information our chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group (our “CODM”), regularly reviews to allocate resources and assess our performance. This change is consistent with our new strategic plan and better aligns with our continuing civil construction and materials business. Our CODM now regularly reviews financial information regarding our two primary product lines, construction and materials as well as our operating groups. We identified our CODM as our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operating Officer.
As a result of these changes, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting , our reportable segments, which are the same as our operating segments, were changed to: Construction and Materials. The Construction segment replaces the previous Transportation, Water and Specialty reportable segments, with the composition of our Materials segment remaining unchanged. These changes have been applied retrospectively for all periods presented. As discussed in Note 3, we have reclassified WMS from discontinued operations to continuing operations for all periods presented. The Water Resources and Mineral Services businesses are included in the Construction segment. Inliner had both Construction and Materials operations.

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, 2021 (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 .

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 site preparation, mining services and infrastructure services for residential development, energy development, commercial and industrial sites, and other facilities, as well as provide construction management professional services.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, we updated our strategy to focus on our core business capabilities, to leverage our current geographic based home markets in the civil construction and materials business and to target expansion based upon that combined strategy. Also related to our new strategic plan, during the fourth quarter of 2021, we reorganized our operating groups to improve operating efficiencies and better position the Company for long-term growth. In alphabetical order, our operating groups are California, Central and Mountain.
In addition, we revised the financial information our chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group (our “CODM”), regularly reviews to allocate resources and assess our performance. This change is consistent with our strategic plan update and better aligns with our civil construction and materials business. Our CODM now regularly reviews financial information regarding our two primary product lines, construction and materials, as well as our operating groups. We identified our CODM as our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operating Officer.
As a result of these changes, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting , our reportable segments, which are the same as our operating segments, were changed to two reportable segments: Construction and Materials (see Note 19 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”).
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 75% of our portfolio, 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”) has started with the appropriation of funds included in the 2022 federal spending bill passed by the Administration in March 2022. 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. We continue to believe that the increased multi-year spending commitment will improve the programming visibility for state and local governments and bring impact to project lettings starting in 2023 and then more meaningfully in 2024 and beyond. We anticipate the impact to our financial statements to gradually grow in 2023 and beyond as funds are allocated first to quicker turn projects and then later to more complex larger projects.
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. Revenue collected through SB-1 is on track to increase over the next five years and supports our expected growth in the state.
Over the last year, 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 oil price inflation, further price increases may adversely impact us in the future.
Our Committed and Awarded Projects (“CAP”) continues to be strong with $4.1 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2022 including contributions from wins earlier in the year within the Central operating group as we continue to transform its project portfolio. We believe the environments in our key markets are strong and will continue to grow as we see meaningful funding from IIJA for projects beginning in the mid to latter part of 2023.
Strategic Actions
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”). The sale of Inliner was completed on March 16, 2022 for a purchase price of $159.7 million, subject to certain adjustments. As a result of the sale, we received cash proceeds of $142.6 million based on preliminary post-closing adjustments and we recognized a gain of $6.2 million.
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. This change to our plan of sale was due to unfavorable market conditions which undermined our efforts to secure an appropriate value for the businesses. In connection with the reclassification of the WMS businesses from discontinued operations to continuing operations, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations have been revised to include Inliner through the date of sale, Water Resources and Mineral Services in the Mountain operating group for all periods presented. The Water Resources and Mineral Services businesses are included in the Construction segment. Inliner had both Construction and Materials operations. See Note 1 and Note 3 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information.
Litigation Matter
As further discussed in Note 18 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” our wholly owned subsidiary, Layne Christensen Company (“Layne”), has been sued for $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. See Note 18 and "In connection with acquisitions or divestitures, we may become subject to liabilities” and "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 Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report for additional information.
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. Therefore, the results of operations of a given quarter are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Construction revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $76.2 million and $228.8 million, or 8.2% and 9.7%, respectively, when compared to 2021. These decreases were 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. Comparable revenue from the Mountain operating group, which excludes revenue attributable to Inliner (which was sold on March 16, 2022) increased $38.4 million and $105.8 million, or 11.9% and 14.3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectfully, due to higher beginning CAP levels including several new solar projects and driven by stronger market conditions in the current year. California operating group revenue increased $19.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to record high CAP levels at the beginning of the current quarter. California operating group revenue decreased $24.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, mainly due to delayed project awards and slower progress on existing projects due to supply chain disruptions in the first half of the year and less favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the majority of revenue earned in the Construction segment was from the public sector.

Materials revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $23.9 million and $46.8 million, or 17.3% and 14.3%, respectively, when compared to 2021 driven by price increases inclusive of energy surcharges and overall market demands driving higher sales volumes of aggregates, slightly offset by decreased sales volumes for asphalt.
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. In line with the revised reportable segments, all CAP is now in the Construction segment.

CAP of $4.1 billion at September 30, 2022 decreased $0.1 billion when compared to June 30, 2022 due to progress on existing projects during our seasonally busiest quarter of the year. Significant new awards during the three months ended September 30, 2022 included $145 million for highway work in Texas, a $17 million dam project in California, $14 million for bridge work in Illinois, $12 million for raceway work in California, $11 million for bridge work in California and an $11 million bikeway project in California.
Non-controlling partners’ share of CAP as of September 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021 was $118.4 million, $214.3 million and $230.1 million, respectively. At September 30, 2022, six contracts had total forecasted losses with remaining revenue of $140.6 million, or 3.4%, of total CAP.

Construction gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $0.9 million and $18.4, or 0.9% and 7.2%, respectively, when compared to 2021 primarily due to an increase in the negative net impact from revisions in estimates in our Central operating group (see Note 4 of "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements"). These decreases were partially offset by improved performance in the vertically integrated California and Mountain operating groups.
Materials gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $1.3 million and decreased by $3.8 million, or an increase of 6.5% and a decrease of 8.5%, respectively, when compared to 2021. The increase in materials revenue drove a gross profit increase during the three months ended September 30, 2022 while materials gross profit margin decreased due to the impact of higher energy costs. Materials gross profit was down during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to the impact of higher fuel and liquid asphalt costs. We implemented energy surcharges in the second quarter of 2022 to cover increased fuel costs, however contracts we had in place early in the year without energy surcharge clauses or prior to our surcharge taking effect were still being fulfilled into the third quarter at the lower sales price.

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 September 30, 2022 decreased by $2.4 million, or 13.3%, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $2.9 million, or 5.1%, when compared to 2021, 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 September 30, 2022 decreased by $13.4 million, or 22.5%, primarily due to the sale of Inliner on March 16, 2022 and a decrease in incentive compensation expense. Total general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased by $32.5 million, or 19.0%, when compared to 2021, also due to the sale of Inliner and a decrease in incentive compensation expense as well as decreases 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.

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 net income before tax expense. 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 rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were lower than the prior year primarily due to a tax benefit associated with the reversal of deferred tax liabilities related to the Water Resources and Mineral Services businesses no longer being held for sale and the release of valuation allowances related to the utilization of capital loss carryforwards. The benefit for both items was recognized in the current quarter. For additional information on assets and liabilities no longer held for sale see discussion in Note 1 and Note 3 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”

The amount attributable to non-controlling interests represents the non-controlling owners’ share of the income or loss of our consolidated construction joint ventures. The amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, primarily due to net negative impacts from revisions in estimates, partially offset by new joint venture contracts in 2022.
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, divisions 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 September 30, 2022, 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.
At the end of the second quarter of 2022, we had $16.5 million of past due receivables and $27.1 million of contract retention receivable from Brightline Trains Florida LLC ("Brightline") and they were experiencing delays in securing additional funding at that time. During the third quarter of 2022, Brightline obtained additional funding and paid their past due receivables balances. As of September 30, 2022, we had $3.6 million of receivables and $27.8 million of contract retention receivable from Brightline (see Note 8 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”). These balances were current as of September 30, 2022, however because Brightline has experienced delays in securing additional funding in the past, the timing and probability of future payments may be affected and our liquidity impacted if Brightline faces additional funding difficulties.
During the first half of 2022, we prepaid 100% of our outstanding term loan and replaced the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May 31, 2018 with the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) maturing June 2, 2027. The Credit Agreement is a $350.0 million senior secured, five-year revolving facility (the “Revolver”). As of September 30, 2022, the total unused availability under the Credit Agreement was $267.0 million, resulting from $33.0 million in issued and outstanding letters of credit and $50.0 million drawn under the Revolver. See Note 15 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further discussion regarding the Revolver.
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 $66.7 million, $54.4 million and $69.2 million as of September 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively. Excluded from the table above is:
| • | $47.3 million, $56.5 million and $48.0 million as of September 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively, in Granite’s portion of unconsolidated construction joint venture cash and cash equivalents; and | |
| • | $16.5 million as of December 31, 2021 that was included in current assets held-for-sale. |

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.
Related to the litigation settlements discussed in Note 18 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” we have separately presented the $129 million liability and the associated $63 million insurance receivable in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The insurance receivable was collected and the liability was paid to the court in October 2021; therefore, the impact on operating cash flow occurred in the fourth quarter of 2021 and there was no impact during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Investing activities
Cash provided by investing activities of $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 represents a $31.3 million increase when compared to 2021. The change was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of the Inliner business in March 2022, partially offset by increased purchases of marketable securities and property and equipment and a decrease in proceeds from sales of property and equipment in the current year.
Financing activities
Cash used in financing activities of $157.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 represents a $143.2 million increase when compared to 2021. The change was primarily due to the prepayment of our term loan of $123.8 million in the first half of 2022 and repurchases of common stock (inclusive of our accelerated share repurchase) of $70.7 million, partially offset by $50.0 million drawn on our Revolver. The net debt paydown was completed at the time the Credit Agreement was entered (see Note 15 to “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further information), to bring our cash balance in line with projected cash needs for the rest of 2022.
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 10 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 September 30, 2022, approximatel y $2.3 billion of our $4.1 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 12 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 September 30, 2022, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 1.89, which did not exceed the maximum of 3.25. Our Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio was 10.15, which was above 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”).
On May 2, 2022, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase transaction with Bank of Montreal. The Accelerated Share Repurchase was entered into pursuant to the existing share repurchase program. On May 2, 2022, we paid $50.0 million to the bank and received 80% of the notional amount, or $40.0 million, in shares using the closing price on the trade date. This equated to approximately 1.32 million shares, which were immediately retired. On August 31, 2022, the reference period ended and on September 2, 2022 we received an additional 0.37 million shares, which were immediately retired. The final share delivery was based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of Granite's common stock, less a discount, during the reference period.
