GRANITE CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED

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, 20202021 (“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 SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 20202021 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The December 31, 20202021 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. Our policy related to derivative instruments was expanded, as follows, to reflect treatmentstatements, 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 Entitys Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entitys Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) on January 1, 2022, ASUs 2020-04,Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the interest rate swap de-designation that occurred duringEffects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”) and 2021-01,Reference Rate Reform (Topic848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”), on June 30, 2022, the impacts of which are described in Note 2.

Out-of-period Adjustments: In the second quarter of 2022, we recorded immaterial out-of-period adjustments which resulted in a net $4.1 million increase to loss from continuing operations before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2021,2022 with no net impact on the six months ended June 30, 2022. Management has determined that these errors were not material to any of its previously issued financial statements.

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 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. The final number of shares to be repurchased under the Accelerated Share Repurchase will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of Granite’s common stock, less a discount, during the term of the Accelerated Share Repurchase; final settlement is furtherexpected to occur in the third quarter of 2022. The Accelerated Share Repurchase is primarily included in Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as well as in Repurchases of common stock on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Shareholders’ Equity and within Financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

As discussed in more detail in Note 9.3,

Derivative Instruments: We recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities we concluded that our former Water and Mineral Services operating group (“WMS”) met the criteria for held for sale during the fourth quarter of 2021 and met the criteria for discontinued operation classification. As a result, WMS is presented in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value using Level 2 inputs. To receive hedge accounting treatment, derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions. We formally document our hedge relationships at inception, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction, and the initial quantitative assessment of the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged items. The effective portion of the gain or loss on cash flow hedges is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified to thecondensed consolidated statements of operations whenas discontinued operations for all periods presented. Current and non-current assets and liabilities of these businesses are presented in the periodic hedged cash flows are settled. Adjustments to fair value on derivatives that are not part of a designated hedging relationship are reported through thecondensed consolidated statements of operations. We do not enter into derivative instrumentsbalance sheets as assets and liabilities held for speculative or trading purposes.sale.

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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

2. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In AugustMarch 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06,DebtDebt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and HedgingContracts in Entitys Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entitys Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments resulting in accounting for convertible debt instruments as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. This change will also reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income as we issued a convertible instrument that was bifurcated according to previously existing rules. In addition, the ASU requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and eliminates the treasury stock method for convertible debt. The ASU is effective commencing with our quarter ending March 31, 2022. We currently anticipate adopting this ASU using the modified retrospective transition approach.

Upon issuance of the 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2024 (“2.75% Convertible Notes”), cash received was separated into a $192.6 million debt component and a $27.9 million (net of $9.5 million in taxes) equity component. We have been increasing the debt component for the difference between the principal amount and the $192.6 million (“debt discount”) with an offset to interest expense over the life of the loan using an effective interest rate. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, interest expense previously recorded and remaining to be recorded from the debt discount will be reversed through retained earnings with an offset to debt, net of tax. We estimate this impact to long-term debt and retained earnings to be between $20 million and $40 million. In addition, using the if-converted method as compared to the treasury stock method may have a material impact to diluted earnings per share if the Company is in a net income position.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reportingwhich 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, Reference Rate Reform (Topic848): Scope, which provided clarification guidance to ASU 2020-04. TheseWe adopted these ASUs are effective at our option beginning with ourduring the quarter ended March 31, 2020 through December 31,June 30, 2022, and we expect to adopt in the second quarter of 2022. Asconjunction with entering into our ThirdFourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated(see Note May 18, 2021, 15as subsequently amended (the “Credit Agreement”), which replaced the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) currently incorporateswith the useSecured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of the secured overnight financingNew York for purposes of interest rate as an alternative to LIBOR, we do not expect thecalculation. The adoption of these ASUs todid not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020,

the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments resulting in accounting for convertible debt instruments as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and ASU 2020-06 is applicable to our 2.75% convertible senior notes due 2024 (“2.75% Convertible Notes;” see Note 15 for further discussion on these notes). In addition, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and eliminates the treasury stock method for convertible debt. We adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective transition approach under which financial results reported in prior periods were not adjusted. Upon adoption, we recorded a net cumulative increase to debt of approximately $22.0 million and to deferred tax assets of $5.6 million, offset by a decrease to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings of $16.4 million.

As of June 30, 2022, the 2.75% Convertible Notes comprised our only convertible debt instrument. The 2.75% Convertible Notes were issued in November 2019 in an aggregate principal amount of $230.0 million, with an interest rate of 2.75% and a maturity date of November 1, 2024, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2.75% Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders prior to May 1, 2024 only during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain events. After May 1, 2024, the 2.75% Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time until October 30, 2024.

The conversion rate applicable to the 2.75% Convertible Notes is 31.7776 shares of Granite common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $31.47 per share of Granite common stock. Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver shares of Granite common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Granite common stock, at our election. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the 2.75% Convertible Notes, (the “Indenture”) we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder that elects to convert its 2.75% Convertible Notes in connection with such a make-whole fundamental change.

On or after November 7,2022, we have the option to redeem for cash all or any portion of the 2.75% Convertible Notes if the last reported sale price of our common stock is equal to or greater than 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time. Upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” as defined in the Indenture, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2.75% Convertible Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, as described in the Indenture, certain events of default including, but not limited to, bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, may result in the 2.75% Convertible Notes becoming due and payable immediately.

In connection with the adoption of ASU 2020-06, we implemented the following accounting policy as of January 1, 2022:

Computation of Earnings per Share: Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. 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. Dilutive potential common shares include common share equivalents issued under the terms of the 2012 and 2021 Equity Incentive Plans and common share equivalents issuable under our 2.75% Convertible Notes using the if-converted method. Dilutive potential common shares also include common share equivalents issuable under the terms of our warrants assuming the share price of our common stock was in excess of $53.44, the exercise price of warrants.

(2) In June 2022, we completed a sale-leaseback transaction on a property in the business climate, including reduced market share due to lossArizona. The sale of strategic personnel during the three months ended September 30, 2020. These factors led to reductions in the revenue and margin growth rates, and delays in the timing of future cash flows used in our quantitative goodwill tests. The goodwill impairment testthis property resulted in a non-cash impairment chargereduction in net property and equipment of an additional $117.9$3.8 million and $14.4a $1.1 million associated with our Wateraddition to both right of use assets and Mineral Services Group Waterlease liabilities on the held-for-sale balance sheets, as well as an $8.2 million gain on sales of property and Water and Mineral Services Group Materials reporting units, respectively, duringequipment on the discontinued operations statements of operations.

As required per ASC Topic three205-20, months ended September 30, 2020.Presentation of financial statements - Discontinued operations, The goodwill impairment test for the Midwest Group Specialty reporting unit indicated that its estimated fair value exceeded its net book value (i.e., headroom) by over 15%; therefore, no impairment charge was recorded. Interim goodwill impairment tests were not performed on our remaining reporting units as there was no indication of a possible goodwill impairment. 

Consistent with our annual impairment test, we calculated the estimated fair values of the Water and Mineral Services Group Materials and Water and Mineral Services Group Specialty reporting units using the discounted cash flows and market multiple methods. Judgments inherentcomponents included in these methods included the determination of appropriate discount rates, the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, revenue and margin growth rates, and appropriate benchmark companies. The cash flows used in our discounted cash flow model were based on five-year financial forecasts developed internally by management adjusted for market participant-based assumptions. Our discount rate assumptions were based on an assessment of the equity cost of capital and appropriate capital structure for our reporting units.

Future developments that we are unable to anticipate may require us to further revise the estimated future cash flows, which could adversely affect the fair value of our reporting units in future periods and result in additional impairment charges. The assumptions used in the goodwill impairment tests are classified as Level 3 inputs. 

Investments in Affiliates

Investments in affiliates are evaluated for impairment using the other-than-temporary impairment model, which requires an impairment charge to be recognized if our investments’ carrying amounts exceed their fair value, and the decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary. There were no events or changes in circumstances which would cause us to assess our investments for impairment during the nine months ended September 30,2021 or during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

During the three months ended March 31,2020, operating costs increased in certain of our foreign entity investments in affiliates which resulted in price increases and therefore a decrease in demand. The effect of this change in business climate on certain investments’ expected future operating cash flows resulted in other than temporary declines in fair value below the carrying values. Therefore, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $9.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 using assumptions classified as Level 3 inputs.

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 changesrevisions 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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 and 20202021, we did not identify any material amounts that should have been recorded in a prior period. 

There were no increases from revisions in estimates, which individually had an impact of $5.0 million or more on gross profit, for the periods presented.

Decreases for all periods presented were in our Transportation segment except for one project in the Water segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and one project in the Specialty segment during each period in 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The projects with decreases from revisions in estimates, which individually had an impact of $5.0 million or more on gross profit, are summarized as follows (dollars in millions except per share data):

The decreases during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 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 six months ended June 30, 2021 were due to additional costs from acceleration of work coupled with lower productivity and higher costs than originally anticipated. The decreases during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were also due to unfavorable weather and extended project duration. The decreases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 were due to additional costs from differing site conditions, lower productivity than originally anticipated and unfavorable weather.weather impacts.

Interest Rate Swaps

In connection with entering into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we entered into two amortizing interest rate swaps with a combined initial notional amount of $150.0 million, with effective dates of May 2018 and maturity dates in May 2023. The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges through the three months ended March 31, 2021 and de-designated as cash flow hedges during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we terminated the entirety of our floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps in connection with the prepayments of our term loan (see Note 15). The impact to interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $1.5 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Commodity Swaps

As of June 30, 2022, we held commodity swaps for crude oil designated as cash flow hedges with a total outstanding notional amount of $15.0 million with a maturity date of October 31, 2022. The financial statement impact for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was a realized gain of $2.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively. In addition, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, the commodity swaps had an unrealized loss of $0.5 million, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, the commodity swaps had an unrealized gain of $2.8 million. As of June 30, 2021, we held commodity swaps for crude oil that were designated as cash flow hedges with a total outstanding notional amount of $4.9 million that matured in October 2021. The total commodity swap gain for these swaps was $1.0 million.

Interest Rate Swaps

In connection with entering into the Credit Agreement, we entered into two interest rate swaps with an effective date of May 2018 that were designated as cash flow hedges through the three months ended March 31, 2021. These interest rate swaps had 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 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 measured at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets using the income approach, which discounts the future net cash settlements expected under the derivative contracts to a present value. These valuations primarily utilize indirectly observable inputs, including contractual terms, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we determined that the interest rate swaps were no longer highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions and were therefore de-designated as cash flow hedges. As a result of this de-designation, the $5.4 million unrealized loss recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss prior to de-designation will continue to be amortized to interest expense through the maturity date of May 2023. The impact from the interest rate swap de-designation that was included in interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations was immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

10.11. 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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022, 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 theour 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20212022, there was approximately $0.8 billion$309.7 million of construction revenue to be recognized on unconsolidated and line item construction joint venture contracts of which $0.3 billion$110.3 million represented our share and the remaining $0.5 billion$199.4 million 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’ corporate and/or other guarantees.

We were informed on July 20, 2021 of an arbitration award denying insurance coverage for claims related to remedial measures undertaken by the general contractorOther Matters

In connection with our prior disclosure of the Salesforce Tower office building inAudit/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 has issued subpoenas for documents in connection with the accounting issues identified in the Investigation. We have produced documents to the SEC and related damages. cooperated with the SEC in its investigation.

Based upon our current estimate for the expected resolution of the SEC’s investigation, we recorded a $12 million accrual in the second quarter of 2022, which is reflected in other costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022. We have not reached a final resolution of these matters with the SEC and we cannot predict when a settlement, if finally agreed, would become final, nor whether any of the proposed terms, including the penalty amount, may change in connection with a final resolution.

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. Although On July 20, 2021, we were not a party to this legal proceeding, we believe, based on court filings and developments in the arbitration, that the project owner and the general contractor asserted a claim for damages against the project’s builder’s risk insurers for approximately $100 million. In connection with our acquisitioninformed of Layne in June 2018, we assumed any potential liability relating to this project. Based on thean arbitration award denying insurance coverage for claims related to the remedial measures undertaken by the general contractor of the Salesforce Tower office building and related damages, management believes it is probable that claims could be brought against thedamages. 

On February 3, 2022, a lawsuit titled Steadfast Insurance Company by the general contractor related to Layne’s involvement(Steadfast), a subrogee of Clark/Hathaway Dinwiddie, a Joint Venture (CHDJV) v. Layne Christensen Company (Layne) was filed in the original project.Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco, seeking damages of approximately $70 million for costs incurred by Steadfast on behalf of CHDJV to cure Layne’s allegedly defective work on the foundation of the Salesforce Tower. On February 4, 2022, CHDJV submitted an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association against Granite Construction Incorporated seeking to recover approximately $30 million for costs incurred by CHDJV to cure Layne’s allegedly defective work on the foundation of the Salesforce Tower. CHDJV subsequently dismissed Granite and added Layne as a respondent to the arbitration. On March 8, 2022, we filed a motion to dismiss the CHDJV arbitration. On April 8, 2022, we filed a demurrer seeking to dismiss the Steadfast lawsuit. On May 6, 2022, CHDJV consolidated its claims with those of Steadfast and joined as a plaintiff in the Steadfast lawsuit, and on May 16, 2022, the arbitration was stayed. We believe we haveLayne has multiple defenses and counterclaims to anythe claims that are brought against us and intendat issue. Layne intends to vigorously defend against the claims and prosecute anyits counterclaims, vigorously. As of the date of this report, no action has been filed against us. Whilebut we believe a claim is probable, wecannot provide assurance that Layne will be successful in these efforts. We do not believe it is probable this matter will result in a material loss, however, if we are unsuccessful we believe the amountrange of any liabilities relatedreasonably possible loss upon final resolution of this matter could be up to the claim are reasonably estimable at this time. Accordingly, no provision has been made in our consolidated financial statements.

In connection with our prior disclosure of the Audit/Compliance Committee’s independent investigation of prior-period reporting for the 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.

17.19. BusinessReportable 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 for our continuing operations remaining unchanged. These changes have been applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

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, strategic actions, the final settlement of the Accelerated Share Repurchase, the expected resolution of the SEC investigation and results,the sales of the Water Resources and Mineral Services businesses, 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, and results. 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 on Form 10-K under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Due to the inherent risks and uncertainties associated with our forward-looking statements, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. The reader is also cautioned that the forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason.

Overview

We deliver infrastructure solutions for public and private clients primarily in the United States. We are one of the largest diversified infrastructure companies in the United States. We are engaged in a wide array ofWithin the public sector, we primarily concentrate on infrastructure projects, including the construction of streets, roads, highways, mass transit facilities, airport infrastructure, bridges, trenchless and underground utilities,dams, power-related facilities, water-related facilities, well drilling, utilities, tunnels dams,and other infrastructure-related projects. Within the private sector, we perform site preparation, mining services and construction management professional services. We are also engaged in a variety of infrastructure services including those for airports, residential development, energy development, commercial and industrial sites.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 continuing business 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 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 have fouridentified 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 businesssegments, which are the same as our operating segments, were changed to two reportable segments: Transportation, Water, SpecialtyConstruction and Materials (see Note 1719 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”). In addition to business segments, we review our business by operating groups. Our operating groups are California, Federal, Heavy Civil, Northwest, Midwest and Water and Mineral Services.

The five primary economic drivers of our business are (i) the overall health of the U.S. economy;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

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a significant impact around the country and the world, Granite’s approach has been consistent led by prioritizing the safety, health and hygiene of our employees, customers, suppliers and others with whom we partner in our business activities. Although certain projects are periodically affected by the pandemic, our business has largely returned to pre-pandemic levels of activity. The future developments of the pandemic are highly uncertain and could adversely impact our operations and financial results in future periods. We are closely monitoring federal, state, regional and local guidelines, orders and regulations and will take necessary steps to comply with new regulations as required.

We are continually monitoring the supply and demand related to labor and supplies, including materials such as concrete and steel. During 2021, certain segments of the construction industry were adversely affected by inflation as well as supply chain and labor constraints. The actual and expected impact to Granite was limited to oil price inflation through our use of diesel fuel and liquid asphalt, which we are monitoring and pricing into our contracts accordingly.

Our consolidated balance sheet and liquidity continue to be strong through the third quarter of 2021 and we expect it to continue to remain strong providing us the flexibility to reinvest in our businesses and execute upon our capital allocation strategy.

Funding for our public work projects, which is aroundaccounts for approximately 75% of our portfolio, is dependent on federal, state, regional and local revenues. At the federal level, public work projects benefit from a $10 billion relief spending bill for state departments of transportations approved by Congress in December 2020 as part of the Coronavirus Response and Relief Act and a $360 billion Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds approved by Congress in March 2021. The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (“FAST”) was extended for one year through September 30, 2021 with flat funding levels and for another month through October 31, 2021 as the Biden Administration and Congress work to pass a long-term solution. In late June 2021, the Biden Administration and members of a bipartisan Senate group agreed to a roughly $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), proposing for $579Act (“IIJA”) was enacted in November 2021 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 newrelated incremental funding. We continue to believe that the increased multi-year spending which includes significant new funding proposals for roads, bridges, airports, ports and inland waterway infrastructures. We remain optimistic that Congress and the Administrationcommitment will jointly move forward in 2021 to pass a long-term solution that addresses infrastructure investment, which we believe will meaningfully improve the programming visibility for state and local governments and bring meaningful impact to project lettings starting in mid to late 2022 and then buildinggrowing in following years.2023 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. InWhile each market is unique, we see a strong funding environment at the November 2020 elections, voters in 18 states approved 94% of state and local ballot initiativeslevels currently and we expect that will provide an additional $14 billion in one-time and recurring revenue for transportation improvements.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)(“SB-1”), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, which is a 10-year, $54.2 billion program.program without any sunset provisions. Revenue collected through SB-1 is on track to increase over the next 5 years.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 and adjustment of project schedules for constraints related to construction materials such as concrete. In June 2022, we completed the purchase of a liquid asphalt terminal in California. The facility provides 170,000 barrels of liquid asphalt storage to address oil price volatility and allows Granite to expand into new, more sustainable product offerings such as asphalt modified with recycled materials. While we are encouraged by these funding supports,actively work to mitigate the impacts of oil price inflation, further price increases may adversely impact us in the future.

Granite’s Committed and Awarded Projects (“CAP”) continues to be strong with an increase from the first quarter of $278.9 million to $4.2 billion at the end of the second quarter. We believe the environments in our key markets are diversestrong and will continue to grow as funding from IIJA is allocated for projects beginning in the second half of 2022.

Strategic Actions

The planned divestitures of the businesses in our former Water and Mineral Services operating group (“WMS”) reflect our new strategy to focus on our core civil construction and materials businesses by using sale proceeds to invest in these two businesses. The divestitures also create opportunities to streamline operational support functions, improve overhead efficiency and better leverage efficiencies of scale. The current and projected strong demand for civil construction supports the decision to grow our vertically integrated business. Through our newly reorganized operational structure, our focus is to pursue opportunities in markets where our operating groups’ presence, capabilities and resources provide strategic advantages, with some being more impactedimproved and consistent margin expectations. The sale of our trenchless and pipe rehabilitation services business (“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. The process to sell the remaining two businesses in the former WMS operating group is proceeding as planned with completion anticipated by the pandemic. We closely monitor these funding trends in all our marketsend of the year. 

Litigation and manage our pursuit pipeline accordingly.SEC Matters

As further discussed in Note 1618 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” we were informedour wholly owned subsidiary, Layne Christensen Company (“Layne”), has been sued for $100 million relating to Layne’s work on July 20, 2021 of an arbitration award denying insurance coverage for claims related to remedial measures undertaken by the general contractor of the Salesforce Tower office building in San Francisco and related damages.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, we assumed any liability related to it.2018. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors - InNote 18 and "In connection with acquisitions or divestitures, we may become subject to liabilities” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors - We"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.

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 increases were primarily driven by increased demand for water supply and maintenance services, as well as lower activity levels in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which caused delays in awarded projects and deferrals in bidding processes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the majority of revenue earned in the Water segment was from the public sector.

contracts. 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 contract execution and 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. Contract options and task orders are included in unearned revenue when exercised or issued, respectively.

Other awards ininclude the tables below includegeneral 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, respectively.

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 and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 decreased by $2.2 million, or 10.9%, and $5.5 million, or 9.0%, respectively,2022 remained relatively unchanged when compared to 2020 from reduced estimating and bidding costs, which impacted other selling expenses for the nine months, and salaries and related expenses for both periods.2021.

The three months ended June 30, 2022 includes an accrual of $12 million for the expected resolution of the SEC investigation. The six months ended June 30, 2021 includes a $66 million legal settlement charge.

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 six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $1.9 million and increased $0.4 million, respectively, primarily due to impacts from revisions in estimates.

Net Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $10.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to lower gains on sales of property in the current year and removal of Inliner's results due to the sale of Inliner in March 2022. These decreases were partially offset by the gain on sale of Inliner during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as well as ceasing depreciation and amortization on property, plant and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets and right-of-use lease assets in 2022 due to the classification of these assets as held-for-sale beginning December 31, 2021 (see Note 163 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” under certain circumstances the resolutionStatements”).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, available borrowing capacity and cash generated from operations. We may also from time to timetime-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. As of September 30, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents consisted of deposits and money market funds held with established national financial institutions and our marketable securities consisted of U.S. Government and agency obligations. Our credit facility consists of a term loan and a revolving credit facility. Ofassets including the $275.0 million revolving credit facility capacity, $227.9 million was available for borrowing at September 30, 2021. This difference between capacity and amount available for borrowing is due to letters of credit taken out primarily for insurance; see Note 13 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further discussion regarding our credit facility.WMS businesses.

Our principal uses of liquidity arematerial 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, andrepurchase 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 cash equivalents, short-term investments, available borrowing capacityother 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, proceeds from the sales of the WMS businesses and cash expected to be generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our expected operatinglong-term requirements for the next twelve months from the date of this filing. This includes the payment that was made pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement to the settlement fund after preliminary approval in October 2021, as discussed in Note 16 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.” Thereand plans. However, 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.

As of June 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.

As of June 30, 2022, we had $19.9 million of receivables and $27.1 million of contract retention receivable from Brightline Trains Florida LLC (“Brightline”) (see Note 8 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”). Brightline is currently experiencing delays in securing additional funding, and as a result, $16.5 million of the receivable balance was past due as of June 30, 2022. We did not deem these balances uncollectible as of June 30, 2022, however we have taken steps to mitigate the risk of non-payment and preserve our rights under our contract with Brightline. We received $6.0 million from Brightline on July 1, 2022, however the timing and probability of future payments is uncertain and if Brightline does not pay the outstanding balances, our liquidity could decrease. 

During the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2022, the total unused availability under the Credit Agreement was $267.1 million, resulting from $32.9 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, for continuing operations 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 $69.2$45.8 million, $42.6$54.4 million and $53.4$62.3 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, December 31, 20202021 and SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, respectively. Excluded from the table above is:

Capital Expenditures

During the  six months ended June 30, 2022, we had capital expenditures of $ 73.2 million, including $ 5.6 million related to discontinued operations, compared t o $46.4 million, including $ 7.8 million related to discontinued operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase year over year is Granite’s portionprimarily due to earlier procurement of unconsolidatedequipment due to supply chain disruptions and acquisition of material reserves in 2022. Major capital expenditures are typically for aggregate and asphalt production facilities, aggregate reserves, construction joint venture cashequipment, buildings and cash equivalentsleasehold improvements and investments in our information technology systems. The timing and amount of $48.0 million, $58.9such 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. We currently anticipate 2022 capital expenditures for continuing operations to be between approximately $100 million and $66.2 million as of September 30, 2021, December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

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 seasonal cycles, our projects’ progressionsproject 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 which can cause fluctuations in operating cash flows.customer.

Cash provided byused in operating activities of $ 59.9103.3 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 represents a $ 78.772.3 million decreaseincrease in cash used when compared to cash provided by operating activities in the same period of 2020.2021. The decreasechange was primarily dueattributable to a $ 54.7 million decrease (including the $66.0 million in net securities litigation settlement charges) in cash provided by net income after adjusting for non-cash items, a $ 71.4 million increase (excluding the $66.0 million net increase intiming of receipts and payments of working capital, related to the securities litigation settlement) in cashwhich includes receivables, net contract assets, inventories, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities. Cash used in working capital increased by $70.6 million. Cash used in operating activities also increased $15.2 million due to a decrease in net income (loss), net of adjustments for non-cash items and an $ 18.6the changes related to the accrual for the expected resolution of the SEC investigation and the litigation settlement described in Note 18. These increases in net cash used were partially offset by a $13.5 million increasedecrease in contributions, net of distributions, to unconsolidated joint ventures and affiliates. The decrease in cash used in working capital was primarily due to increases to contract assets, net, partially offset by a decrease in cash used by accounts payable from payment timing differences.

Related to the securities litigation settlement,settlements discussed in Note 1618 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” we have separately presented the $129.0$129 million liability and the associated $63.0$63 million insurance receivable in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Financing activities

Cash used in financing activities of $14.6$157.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 represents a $39.3$143.4 million decreaseincrease when compared to cash provided by financing activities in the same period of 20202021. The change was primarily due to a draw onthe prepayment of our revolverterm loan of $50$124.7 million in the prior year,and repurchases of common stock (inclusive of our accelerated share repurchase) of $70.4 million, partially offset by an increase$50.0 million drawn on our Revolver. The net debt paydown was undertaken 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 contributions from non-controlling partners, net of distributions.

Capital Expenditures

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had capital expenditures of $73.0 million compared to $74.9 million during 2020. 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.

Derivatives

We recognize interest rate and commodity swap derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value using Level 2 inputs in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.inputs. See Note 910 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, approximately $2.6$2.5 billion of our $4.2 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 1112 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, ourthe 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 indenture governing our 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 indenture governing our 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2021,2022, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 1.73,2.57, which did not exceed the maximum of 3.00.3.25. Our Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio was 8.52,6.53, which exceededwas above the minimum of 4.00.3.00.

Share Repurchase Program

As announced on April 29, 2016,February 3, 2022, on April 7, 2016,February 1, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized us to repurchasepurchase up to $200.0$300.0 million of our common stock at management’s discretion. As partdiscretion (the “2022 authorization”). 

On May 2, 2022, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase transaction with Bank of this authorization, we have established a planMontreal. We paid $50.0 million to facilitatethe 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. The final number of shares to be repurchased under the accelerated share repurchase will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of Granite’s common stock, repurchases. As of September 30, 2021, $157.2 millionless a discount, during the term of the authorization remained available. The specific timing and amountaccelerated share repurchase; final settlement is expected to occur in the third quarter of any future repurchases will vary based on market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors.2022.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluationOur management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) orand 15d-15(e) ofunder the Exchange Act) as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2022. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer and principal financial officer haveChief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as ofto provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the end ofExchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the period covered by this report due to material weaknesses previously disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “material weaknesses”). In light of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we performed additional analysis and other procedures to validate that our financial information contained in this Form 10-Q was prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally acceptedtime periods specified in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Following such additional analysisSEC rules and procedures,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 principal executive officerChief Executive Officer and principal financial officer, has concluded that our financial statements state fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of our operations and our cash flows for the periods presented in this Form 10-Q, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Remediation Plan and Status

As disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Company management, with the assistance of outside consultants, began reviewing and revising our internal control over financial reporting in 2020 in responseChief Financial Officer, as appropriate to the material weaknesses identified in connection with the Audit/Compliance Committee’s independent Investigation. Management has evaluated the impact of the material weaknesses and has developed and implemented a plan to remediate the control deficiencies that contributed to the material weaknesses. To date, we have taken the following actions to remediate the material weaknesses:

we implemented oversight, training and communication programs to reinforce: (1) our ethical standards and Code of Conduct across the Company, which emphasized, among other things, the purpose and availability of the anonymous whistleblower hotline, (2) the responsibilities and obligations of public company officers, (3) our cost forecasting processes and policies, including proper and contemporaneous documentation to support cost forecast adjustments, (4) the principles and requirements of each cost forecasting control and (5) reporting communication protocols for internal audit reports;
we implemented additional internal controls related to cost forecasts including reviews from individuals who are independent of the operating group; and

we took appropriate personnel actions, including separations, dismissals and changes in leadership and/or responsibilities and implemented other organizational changes, including changes in reporting structures.

We will continue to execute and monitor these programs, processes and controls that were implemented as part of our remediation plan. However, the material weaknesses described in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Additionally, we may take additional measures to address the control deficiencies or modify the remediation plan described above.allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
