Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

General

General

Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Granite Construction Incorporated (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Granite”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“Annual Report”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Further, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly our financial position at September 30, 2023 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The December 31, 2022 condensed consolidated balance sheet data included herein was derived from audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Acquisition: On April 24, 2023, we completed the purchase of Coast Mountain Resources (2020) Ltd. (“CMR”) for approximately $26.9 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. CMR is a construction aggregate producer based in British Columbia, Canada operating on Malahat First Nation land. CMR results are reported in the Materials segment. This acquisition did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, the total purchase price and assumed liabilities were allocated based on their estimated fair values as of April 24, 2023. The tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were approximately $29.2 million and $7.1 million, respectively, resulting in acquired goodwill of $4.8 million. The tangible assets balance consists primarily of equipment, vehicles and the right-to-mine which are reported in Property and equipment, net. The estimated allocation is subject to revision during the measurement period, which may result in adjustments to the values presented herein. We expect to finalize these amounts within 12 months from the acquisition date.

Impairment charges: During the third quarter of 2023, we made the decision to wind down our international Mineral Services operations. We perform goodwill impairment tests annually as of November 1 and more frequently when events and circumstances occur that indicate a possible impairment of goodwill. In response to this change in the business, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test on the Mountain Group Construction reporting unit, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge. We also assessed the long-lived tangible assets and amortizable intangible assets associated with these Mineral Services operations. We recorded a total of $4.5 million of non-cash impairment charges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to the wind down of international Mineral Services operations, which are included in other costs on our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

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, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
