WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Granite Construction Incorporated (NYSE: GVA) today reported third quarter 2018 net income of $55.7 million, an increase of 21.1 percent from net income of $46.0 million in the third quarter of 2017. Earnings per diluted share (EPS) was $1.17, compared to $1.14 last year. Third quarter and year-to-date 2018 results include after-tax acquisition-related expenses of $11.7 million and $43.4 million, respectively2. Excluding the impact of these expenses, third quarter adjusted net income was $67.4 million1, with adjusted EPS of $1.421. For the first nine months of 2018, EPS was $0.84, compared to $0.90 in the prior-year period. Excluding the impact of after-tax acquisition-related expenses, year-to-date 2018 adjusted net income increased significantly to $79.2 million1, with adjusted EPS of $1.851 more than doubling from the prior year.
“In 2018, Granite has executed our strategy to develop a leadership position as America’s Infrastructure Company,” said Granite President and Chief Executive Officer James H. Roberts. “Acquisitions have helped us to deliver profitable geographic and end-market diversification, and this action highlights the significant opportunities we have to expand Granite’s platforms for growth in the new Transportation, Water, Specialty, and Materials segments.”
“Our focus has remained intent on improved profitability this year, and our teams, new and old, have delivered,” Roberts said. “Demand for projects across all segments of our business remains strong as we maintain our deliberate emphasis on improved pricing. Increased pricing is creating solid bottom-line improvement, while having an expected, near-term impact on project win rates, most notably transportation projects. Transportation demand continues to strengthen, fueling expected growth in project bookings and revenue that, coupled with our ongoing pricing discipline, will spur improved segment margin performance for quite some time.”
Roberts continued, “Our pricing strategy is sound, built upon both practical and strategic considerations, especially given the healthy balance of near- and long-term public- and private-market demand. This year’s highly focused work on pricing discipline illustrates the broad leverage our business can exert to create bottom-line results and steadily improving capital returns on the significant, long-term investments that underpin our business. Our focus remains on sustained pricing discipline to deliver consistent, balanced, risk-adjusted returns across end markets.”
Third Quarter and Year-To-Date 2018 Consolidated Results
- Revenue increased 10.3 percent to $1.06 billion in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $957.1 million in the prior-year period. For the nine months ending September 30, 2018, revenue increased 10.9 percent to $2.43 billion, compared with $2.19 billion last year.
- Consolidated gross profit increased 26.2 percent to $144.5 million, compared with $114.5 million last year. On a year-to-date basis, gross profit increased 31.2 percent to $281.1 million compared to $214.2 million last year.
- Gross profit margin was 13.7 percent in the third quarter, compared with 12.0 percent in 2017. For the first nine months of 2018, gross profit margin was 11.6 percent compared with 9.8 percent last year.
- Selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expenses during the quarter and on a year-to-date basis include the impact of higher acquisition-related overhead. SG&A expenses were $70.8 million, or 6.7 percent of revenue in the quarter, compared to $49.5 million, or 5.2 percent of revenue, last year. For the first nine months of 2018, SG&A expenses were $193.3 million, or 8.0 percent of revenue, compared to $162.7 million, or 7.4 percent of revenue, during the same prior-year period. The increase is attributable to acquisition-related costs.
- Company effective tax rate in the third quarter was 12.8 percent, driven by a $7.6 million benefit3, a discrete item related to revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 30.9 percent year-over-year to $112.7 million in the third quarter of 2018, from $86.1 million last year. On a year-to-date basis, adjusted EBITDA increased 62.5 percent year-over-year to $172.9 million, compared to $106.4 million in 2017.
- Company backlog3 was $3.24 billion, down 23.5 percent year-over-year. Earlier in 2018 we received notification of certain project wins that are not yet included in our backlog. These three projects, in California, Utah, and Florida, total more than $825 million and are expected to enter our backlog late in 2018 and in 2019.
- Our balance sheet remains strong with cash and marketable securities of $311.4 million as of September 30, 2018. Our capital structure is well positioned to support the execution of our strategic plan.
Third Quarter and Year-To-Date 2018 Segment Results
On October 9, the Company filed an 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which provides a quarterly and annual lookback and mapping of our new reportable segments. Third quarter 2018 results reflect the new reporting structure.
Transportation
- Third quarter 2018 revenue decreased 2.2 percent to $610.8 million, compared to $624.7 million last year. Year-to-date 2018 revenue increased 3.5 percent to $1.47 billion, compared to $1.42 billion last year. Transportation revenue growth in 2018 reflects both increased bidding discipline and higher margin expectations.
- Quarterly gross profit increased 8.3 percent to $71.0 million from $65.5 million last year, with gross profit margin of 11.6 percent, up more than 100 basis points from 10.5 percent last year. Year-to-date gross profit increased 15.4 percent to $138.4 million from $119.9 million last year, with a resulting gross profit margin of 9.4 percent up from 8.4 percent in 2017. Year-over-year profit improvement continues to reflect our efforts to raise prices in a healthy environment for most of our geographic markets.
- Segment backlog decreased 29.6 percent year-over-year to $2.31 billion, driven by steady project burn rates in mild weather conditions during the quarter. Healthy and improving transportation market demand positions our teams with top- and bottom-line growth opportunities across geographies. We continue to patiently re-shape our project portfolio, pursuing revenue strategies in alignment with increased returns that balance project risk dynamics.
Water
- Third quarter 2018 revenue increased 241.7 percent to $124.3 million compared to $36.4 million last year. Year-to-date 2018 revenue increased 113.9 percent to $216.0 million, compared to $100.9 million last year.
- Quarterly gross profit increased to $24.1 million from $1.8 million last year, with gross profit margin of 19.4 percent up from 5.0 percent last year. Year-to-date gross profit increased to $41.1 million from $9.8 million last year, with gross profit margin of 19.0 percent, up from 9.7 percent in 2017. Year-over-year profit improvement is tied to solid execution on projects in the robust markets we are now addressing in the Water segment.
- Segment backlog increased significantly year-over-year to $364.8 million, with the largest impact from recent acquisitions. The segment’s bidding environment remains healthy, mirroring steady to improving federal, state, and local water infrastructure funding.
Specialty
- Third quarter 2018 revenue decreased 3.6 percent to $190.8 million, compared to $197.9 million last year. Year-to-date 2018 revenue increased 2.0 percent to $461.1 million, compared to $452.3 million last year. Drivers of the performance include continued strong demand for mining work both by legacy businesses and recent acquisitions, coupled with steady demand in power and tunnel projects.
- Quarterly gross profit increased 1.1 percent to $28.1 million from $27.8 million last year, with gross profit margin of 14.7 percent up from 14.0 percent last year. Year-to-date gross profit increased 15.1 percent to $65.3 million from $56.7 million last year, with gross profit margin of 14.2 percent, up from 12.5 percent in 2017.
- The gross profit and margin improvement was attributable primarily to strong market demand, solid execution, and consistent bidding discipline, which is producing improved margins on new work.
- Segment backlog decreased 27.6 percent year-over-year to $564.7 million, based on steady project burn rates. The bidding environment in the Specialty segment remains healthy, supported by steady public- and private-market demand. This diverse, robust project and bidding environment, which includes tunnel, power, mining, site development, renewable energy and more, position our teams for backlog and revenue growth in this segment in 2019 and beyond.
Materials
- Third quarter 2018 revenue increased 32.1 percent to $129.6 million, compared with $98.1 million last year. Year-to-date 2018 revenue increased 30.4 percent to $276.3 million, compared to $211.8 million last year.
- Quarterly gross profit improved 9.9 percent to $21.3 million from $19.4 million last year, with gross profit margin of 16.4 percent down from 19.8 percent last year. Year-to-date gross profit increased 30.6 percent to $36.3 million from $27.8 million last year, with gross profit margin steady at 13.1 percent.
- The quarterly and year-to-date revenue and profit growth was attributable primarily to improved external demand across most markets, while maintaining an expectation of overall mid-teen gross margins in the segment.
Outlook and Guidance
“Granite’s strategic growth plan is delivering strongly improved near-term results, while positioning our stakeholders to benefit from significant, long-term economic value creation,” said Roberts. “Significant voter support across the country for incremental infrastructure investment is spurring state and local governments and politicians to action. With more than 300 state and local measures on ballots on November 6, voters increasingly understand and support the sustained, increased infrastructure investments that are required to improve public safety, to create jobs, to drive economic expansion, and to improve Americans’ quality of life. For those of you in California, please vote No on Proposition 6 on Election Day.”
The Company’s expectations for 2018, including acquisitions, are:
- Mid-teens consolidated revenue growth, which is subject to late-year seasonality
- Adjusted EBITDA margin of 7.5 percent to 8.5 percent

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The tables below contain financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 additional non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated and adjusted diluted earnings per share to indicate the impact of non-recurring acquisition, integration and acquired intangible amortization expenses related to the acquisition of Layne Christensen Company and LiquiForce.
Management believes that these additional non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons between securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties. 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 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.
