Construction revenue in the fourth quarter and fiscal year decreased compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to the wind down of several large projects in the Central Group, as well as the sale of Granite Inliner, which is reported in the Mountain Group, during the first quarter of 2022. These decreases were partially offset by increases in our vertically-integrated businesses in our California and Mountain Groups. Central Group revenue decreased $22 million and $206 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, respectively, as the group completes its Old Risk Portfolio ("ORP") projects and pivots to the pursuit of smaller, less complex projects in their home markets. Mountain Group revenue decreased $34 million and $54 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. Mountain Group revenue included Granite Inliner revenue of $33 million in 2022, and revenue of $46 million and $206 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Excluding Granite Inliner, Mountain Group revenue increased $12 million and $118 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Mountain Group benefited from strong performances by the Utah and Washington regions and the Water Resources division driving the increase in comparable revenue. California Group finished 2022 strong with a $14 million increase of revenue in the fourth quarter over the same period in the prior year. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the California Group ended down $10 million compared to the same period in the prior year as it worked to overcome delays in project starts earlier in the year along with inclement weather conditions in the first quarter of 2022.

 

Gross profit and gross profit margin increased in the fourth quarter compared to the prior year primarily due to decreased losses in the ORP. During the fourth quarter, ORP revenue totaled $34 million with a gross loss of $6 million and breakeven net income after non-controlling interest ("NCI"), compared to ORP revenue of $66 million with a gross loss of $25 million and net loss, after NCI of $16 million, for the same period in the prior year. For 2022, ORP revenue totaled $207 million with a gross loss of $51 million and net loss after NCI of $35 million, compared to ORP revenue of $385 million with a gross loss of $33 million and net loss after NCI of $16 million in the prior fiscal year. For 2022, gross profit margin excluding ORP was 13.6% compared to 12.5% in the prior fiscal year, primarily driven by improved performance by the California and Mountain Groups.

 

CAP increased significantly both sequentially and year over year led by the California Group's record CAP of $1.7 billion. All of our operating groups have benefited from the strong public funding environments across our geographies as well as a resilient private market.

The Materials segment finished the year strong in the fourth quarter with higher volumes and sales prices driving a revenue increase year-over-year. Gross profit and gross profit margin during the fourth quarter increased significantly as a result of sales price increases and cost efficiencies driven by higher volumes and decreases in fuel and energy costs. For 2022, materials revenue increased due to higher sales prices, which included energy surcharges implemented earlier in the year, across all of our operating groups as well as higher aggregate volumes. Gross profit increased in 2022 due to the higher revenue and greater volumes while gross profit margin decreased due to the impact of higher fuel and energy costs earlier in the year.

 

 

Outlook and Guidance

The Company's expectations for 2023 are:

 

•  Revenue in the range of $3.4 billion to $3.6 billion
•  Adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 7.5% to 9%
• SG&A Expense in the range of 8.0% to 8.5% of revenue
• Low to mid-20s effective tax rate range for adjusted net income
• Capital expenditures in the range of $100 million to $120 million

 

The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure of net income (loss) attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated because the timing and amount of the excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate.

 

"In 2023, we expect continued progress with revenue growth and improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin in line with our 2024 strategic plan targets," said Lisa Curtis, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "I believe our high quality CAP and strong market environment will support both our revenue growth and increase in profitability in 2023. Additionally, we will continue to invest in our businesses to support our organic growth through capital expenditures. Our CAPEX investments will have an emphasis in our materials operations to maximize efficiency with automation as well as bolstering material reserves to support longer-term growth."

As a result, the Company’s Audit/Compliance Committee has concluded that the Company’s previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for each of the first three quarters in the year ended December 31, 2022 should no longer be relied upon due to errors contained in such interim financial statements. The Company does not expect these errors to impact the results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 that were reported in this press release or to any previously reported annual periods or quarterly results within those annual periods. The Company plans to include quarterly financial information that has been restated for the errors described above in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which it expects will be filed timely with the SEC.  The quarterly financial information will also be adjusted retrospectively to reclassify the results of the former Water and Mineral Services businesses from discontinued operations to continuing operations for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

 

The tables below contain financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Specifically, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and EBITDA margin are useful in evaluating operating performance and are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties, and that such supplemental measures facilitate comparisons between companies that have different capital and financing structures and/or tax rates. We are also providing adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP measures, to indicate the impact of Other costs, net, which include net costs related to settlements of certain legal matters and investigations, net of divestiture costs, a gain on sale of a business in 2022 and personnel costs incurred in connection with our operating group reorganization during 2021 and certain gains on sales of property.

 

We provide adjusted income (loss) before provision for income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net income attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated, adjusted diluted weighted average shares of common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders, non-GAAP measures, to indicate the impact of the following:

 

 

Other costs, net, which include net costs related to settlements of certain legal matters and investigations, net of divestiture costs, a gain on sale of a business in 2022 and personnel costs incurred in connection with our operating group reorganization during 2021;

  Amortization of debt discount related to our 2.75% Convertible Notes;
  Transaction cost which includes intangible amortization expense and acquisition related depreciation related to the acquisition of Layne and Liquiforce;
 

Certain gains on sales of property; and
 

The tax impacts related to divestiture activities for the former Water and Mineral Services operating group.

 

Management believes that these additional non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons between industry peer companies and management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company's performance. However, the reader is cautioned that any non-GAAP financial measures provided by the Company are provided in addition to, and not as alternatives for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Items that may have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows must be considered when assessing the Company's actual financial condition and performance regardless of whether these items are included in non-GAAP financial measures. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures provided by the Company may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.

(3) When calculating diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common shareholders, U.S. GAAP requires that we include potential share dilution from the 2.75% Convertible Notes. For the purposes of calculating adjusted diluted net income per share attributable to common shareholders, the dilutive effect from the 2.75% Convertible Notes is removed to reflect the impact of the purchased equity derivative instrument which offsets any potential share dilution from the 2.75% Convertible Notes above the $31.47 conversion price up to a share price of $53.44. The average share price did not exceed $53.44 in any period.
