Granite Reports First Quarter 2021 Results

May 07, 2021

WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 07, 2021--Granite Construction Incorporated (NYSE: GVA) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

First Quarter 2021 Results

Results for the first quarter of 2021 were a net loss of ($66.2) million, or ($1.45) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($65.4) million, or ($1.44) per diluted share, in the prior year. Adjusted net loss(2) for the first quarter of 2021, which excludes other costs(3), non-cash impairments of goodwill, Transaction costs(4), and amortization of debt discount related to our 2.75% convertible notes, was ($4.9) million, or ($0.11) per diluted share, compared to an adjusted net loss(2) of ($31.6) million, or ($0.69) per diluted share, in the prior year.

* Revenue increased 5.3% to $669.9 million compared to $635.9 million in the prior year. * Gross profit increased 166.1% to $63.3 million compared to $23.8 million in the prior year. Gross profit margin increased to 9.5% compared to 3.7% in the prior year. * Selling, general & administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $75.7 million or 11.3% of revenue, compared to $73.2 million or 11.5% of revenue in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to a change in the fair market value of our Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation plan liability of $5.3 million year-over-year, which is primarily offset in other (income) expense, net. * Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $16.9 million compared to ($18.4) million in the prior year. * CAP(1) totaled $4.45 billion, up slightly year-over-year and up 4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. * Operating cash flow increased $58.2 million to $38.1 million compared to ($20.1) million in the prior year. * Cash and marketable securities increased $216.6 million to $464.2 million compared to $247.6 million in the prior year, while debt decreased $23.8 million to $340.3 million compared to $364.2 million in the prior year.

"Building on momentum from 2020 to 2021, Granite completed a strong first quarter," said Kyle Larkin, Granite President. "In our seasonally slowest quarter, we realized continued improvement in the Transportation segment with minimal losses in the Heavy Civil Operating Group Old Risk Portfolio(5) and significant improvement in gross profit in our Specialty segment. We continued to build cash and marketable securities through positive operating cash flow and our balance sheet position remains strong even after considering the previously disclosed settlement agreement. This settlement marks another significant milestone for Granite as we move forward."

"Additionally, we are encouraged by the bidding activity across the company during the first quarter," continued Larkin. "Our major markets are healthy with robust opportunities. We are optimistic that the federal government will continue to work towards an infrastructure plan this year, which should only strengthen the environment."

(1) CAP is comprised of contract backlog (unearned revenue and other awards), as well as awarded construction management/general contractor, construction manager at-risk, and progressive design build projects not yet included in contract backlog.

(2) Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted diluted income (loss) per share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the description and reconciliation of non-GAAP measures in the attached tables.

(3) Other costs includes the settlement charge, legal and accounting investigation fees, integration expenses related to the acquisition of the Layne Christensen Company ("Layne") and restructuring charges related to our Heavy Civil Operating Group.

(4) Transaction costs includes acquired intangible amortization expenses and acquisition related depreciation related to the acquisition of Layne and LiquiForce.

(5) The Heavy Civil Operating Group Old Risk Portfolio include projects with risk criteria that do not align with Granite's new project selection criteria for the Heavy Civil Operating Group.

First Quarter 2021 Segment Results (Unaudited - dollars in thousands)

Transportation Segment

Three Months Ended 2021 2020 Change March 31,

Revenue $ 351,029 $ 350,901 $ 128 0.0 %

Gross profit $ 35,866 $ 25,369 $ 10,497 41.4 %

Gross profit as a 10.2 % 7.2 % percent of revenue



March 31, 2021 2020 Change

Committed and $ 3,028,893 $ 3,487,609 $ (458,716 ) (13.2 )Awarded Projects %

Transportation revenue was flat year-over-year with a revenue increase from the California Operating Group offsetting a decrease in revenue from the Heavy Civil Operating Group. Gross profit increased year-over-year primarily due to a decrease in losses from the Heavy Civil Operating Group Old Risk Portfolio. In the first quarter of 2021, the Heavy Civil Operating Group Old Risk Portfolio recognized revenue of $104.1 million and a gross loss of ($0.7) million compared to $116.2 million of revenue and a gross loss of ($13.0) million in the first quarter of 2020.

Segment CAP totaled $3.0 billion as of March 31, 2021, which is a decrease of $458.7 million year-over-year primarily due to a decrease in Heavy Civil Operating Group Transportation CAP of $547.3 million.

Water Segment

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Change

Revenue $ 99,753 $ 101,657 $ (1,904 ) (1.9 ) %

Gross profit $ 8,566 $ 9,347 $ (781 ) (8.4 ) %

Gross profit as a percent of 8.6 % 9.2 % revenue



March 31, 2021 2020 Change

Committed and Awarded $ 339,030 $ 241,161 $ 97,869 40.6 %Projects

Water revenue decreased slightly as the recovery of the Water and Mineral Services Operating Group continued to build momentum as COVID-19 restrictions lessen. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in revenue in the California Operating Group, which began the year with higher CAP. Gross profit declined primarily due to a temporary increase in resin costs in our cured-in-place-pipe trenchless rehabilitation business.

Segment CAP increased to $339.0 million as of March 31, 2021, primarily reflecting new awards in the Water and Mineral Services Operating Group.

Specialty Segment

Three Months Ended 2021 2020 Change March 31,

Revenue $ 155,674 $ 133,039 $ 22,635 17.0 %

Gross profit (loss) $ 17,325 $ (10,719 ) $ 28,044 261.6 %

Gross profit (loss) as 11.1 % (8.1 ) a percent of revenue %



March 31, 2021 2020 Change

Committed and Awarded $ 1,083,971 $ 700,588 $ 383,383 54.7 %Projects

Specialty revenue increased due primarily to site development work performed by the Heavy Civil Operating Group. Gross profit increased in 2021 as a result of the absence of a significant write down related to a dispute on a tunneling project which occurred in the first quarter of 2020.

Specialty segment CAP totaled $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2021, driven by a $267 million tunnel project and site development projects in the private and public markets which were booked into CAP in the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021.

Materials Segment

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Change

Revenue $ 63,457 $ 50,330 $ 13,127 26.1 %

Gross profit (loss) $ 1,561 $ (198 ) $ 1,759 888.4 %

Gross profit (loss) as a percent 2.5 % (0.4 ) of revenue %

Materials revenue and gross profit increased year over year primarily due to higher sales volumes in both aggregates and asphalt across the California and Northwest Operating Groups as the Groups were aided by favorable weather during the quarter.

Outlook

The Company reaffirms our guidance for 2021:

* Low- to mid-single digit revenue growth * Adjusted EBITDA margin of 5.5% to 7.5%

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 which includes the settlement charge, legal and accounting investigation fees, integration expenses related to the acquisition of the Layne Christensen Company ("Layne") and restructuring charges related to our Heavy Civil Operating Group; * Non-cash impairments related to goodwill and investments in affiliates in 2020;

We provide adjusted loss before benefit from income taxes, adjusted benefit from income taxes, adjusted net loss attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated and adjusted diluted net loss per share, non-GAAP measures, to indicate the impact of the following:

* Other costs which includes the settlement charge, legal and accounting investigation fees, integration expenses related to the acquisition of the Layne and restructuring charges related to our Heavy Civil Operating Group; * Non-cash impairments related to goodwill and investments in affiliates in 2020; * Transaction costs which includes acquired intangible amortization expenses and acquisition related depreciation related to the acquisition of Layne and LiquiForce; and * Amortization of debt discount related to our 2.75% convertible notes.

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. 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.

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. 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.
