Granite Reports Fiscal Year 2019 Results

  • Granite to file its annual report on Form 10-K for 2019
  • The Company expects to file 2020 quarterly reports before the end of February
  • Audit/Compliance Committee independent investigation is now complete
  • New leadership team and refresh of strategic plan underway

WATSONVILLE, Calif.--()--Granite Construction Incorporated (NYSE: GVA) today announced its 2019 financial results, reflecting a net loss of ($60.2) million (($1.29) per diluted share) compared to net income of $0.6 million ($0.01 per diluted share) in 2018. The results include after-tax, acquisition-related expenses for 2019 and 2018 of $33.0 million and $60.5 million, respectively. Revenue in 2019 increased $158.6 million, or 5.0%, to $3.4 billion primarily due to incremental revenue from 2018 acquisitions, while gross profit decreased $113.2 million to $221.7 million due to project write downs within the Heavy Civil Operating Group. Selling, general & administrative ("SG&A") expenses in 2019 were $308.0 million, or 8.9% of revenue, compared to $272.8 million, or 8.3% of revenue, in 2018, reflecting a higher cost structure from our 2018 acquisitions.

As of December 31, 2019, Committed and Awarded Projects ("CAP")(1) was $4.4 billion, a 2.4% decrease from $4.5 billion as of December 31, 2018, as the Company works through its Heavy Civil Operating Group portfolio. Cash and marketable securities totaled $295.1 million as of December 31, 2019, and debt totaled $364.4 million.

"Since being appointed to my role in September of last year, my top priority has been to achieve compliance with our reporting requirements," said Kyle Larkin, Granite President. "We assembled the right leadership team to shape the longer-term vision to move Granite forward. We are revisiting Granite's strategic plan, and I look forward to sharing an update in the near future."

Granite's Audit/Compliance Committee Investigation Completed

The previously announced investigation by the Audit/Compliance Committee is now complete. The Audit/Compliance Committee, in consultation with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, concluded that the Company's previously issued consolidated financial statements and related disclosures should no longer be relied upon for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, as well as for the first three quarters of the year ended December 31, 2019 and for each of the quarters in the year ended December 31, 2018. As a result, Granite is restating its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for those periods. Prior year consolidated financial information included herein reflects the impact of the restatement.

In addition, as of December 31, 2019, the Company has determined that it did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures due to the existence of material weaknesses. The Company has implemented, or is in the process of implementing, its remediation plan to address the material weaknesses. The Company has made certain personnel and organizational changes, and it is implementing additional oversight, training and communication programs regarding our Code of Conduct and project forecasting. The Company is also enhancing its internal controls over financial reporting.

“The completion of the investigation and filing of our Annual Report represents the conclusion of a very thorough process,” said Larkin. “We are committed to remediating all material weaknesses in our control environment and strengthening our processes and controls within the Heavy Civil Operating Group. These on-going remediation actions will be completed as soon as possible and will not only improve our internal control over financial reporting, but will also enhance processes and communication across the organization.” Larkin continued, “These actions further support the results of our strategic review of the Heavy Civil Operating Group that we outlined in October 2019, which included establishing a new Heavy Civil Operating Group management team. Since that time, we have also narrowed the footprint of the Heavy Civil Operating Group, including the closure of our New York office in January 2021. As we continue to work to de-risk our Heavy Civil Operating Group portfolio, we are now pursuing opportunities in markets where Granite’s presence, capabilities and resources provide strategic advantages. These actions will better position Granite to deploy its capital efficiently and to maximize shareholder value. I look forward to sharing more about this with you during our earnings call at the end of February.”

In connection with the independent investigation, Granite voluntarily contacted and subsequently received subpoenas from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Division of Enforcement. The Company is fulfilling document requests from the SEC, and will continue to cooperate with the SEC in its investigation.

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.

The Transportation segment revenue and gross profit decreased due to forecast revisions on certain projects in the Heavy Civil Operating Group. In 2019 and 2018, the Heavy Civil Operating Group recognized gross losses of ($138.7) million and ($54.4) million, respectively. These losses overshadowed our core transportation construction business' exceptional performance in 2019, despite inclement weather in the West experienced through May and again in December.

Segment CAP decreased $151.3 million to $3.5 billion as of December 31, 2019 reflecting the progression of Heavy Civil Operating Group projects, offset by new awards highlighted by the $348 million progressive-design build, Granite led job in Utah that moved into backlog in the fourth quarter of 2019. Heavy Civil Operating Group CAP declined $285 million as of December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018.

The Water segment revenue increase was due to incremental revenues from the acquisitions of Layne Christensen Company and LiquiForce in the second quarter of 2018 partially offset by unrepeated emergency work performed in 2018. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to write downs on three projects totaling $22.5 million during 2019 combined with emergency work performed in 2018 that was not repeated in 2019.

Segment CAP totaled $226.0 million as of December 31, 2019 reflecting the progression on existing projects.

The Specialty segment revenue increase was due to increased volume in the West led by private sector customers combined with incremental revenues from the Layne Christensen Company acquisition in the second quarter of 2018. Specialty segment gross profit decreased $3.2 million primarily due to lower profitability on a tunnel project in 2019.

Specialty segment CAP increased $149.4 million driven by successful bids in the Heavy Civil and Federal Operating Groups.

Outlook

  • Fourth Quarter 2020 Preliminary Select Financial Information

    The Company had $670.9 million of available liquidity as of December 31, 2020, inclusive of $441.3 million of cash and marketable securities, compared to $295.1 million of cash and marketable securities as of December 31, 2019. Debt was $338.8 million as of December 31, 2020, compared to $364.4 million as of December 31, 2019. The Company did not have any borrowings under its revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2020 and continues to focus on prudent working capital management.

    During the fourth quarter of 2020, Heavy Civil Operating Group CAP decreased by $170 million from third quarter of 2020, as the Company continues to work through Heavy Civil Operating Group backlog and focuses on maintaining discipline with regard to pursuits of new projects in line with our Heavy Civil Operating Group strategic review. This decrease was more than offset by new awards in our core construction businesses, resulting in a net increase of CAP during the quarter of $0.1 billion. CAP totaled $4.3 billion as of December 31, 2020, including over $1.5 billion of best-value procurement work(2).

    During 2020, we recorded goodwill impairments related to our Water and Mineral Services Operating Group totaling $147.1 million. The impairments are primarily attributable to an adverse change in the business climate, exacerbated by economic disruption and market conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

    (2)

    Best value procurement work includes construction management/general contractor, construction management at-risk, and progressive design build projects.


  • Conference Call

    The Company will hold its next call with the investment community in conjunction with the release of its third quarter 2020 results, which is expected before the end of February. A press release will be issued at a later date providing more details on the timing with dial in information.

  • Late Filing 2020 Form 10-K

    Given the significant effort and focus on filing the Company's 2019 Form 10-K and anticipated filings of the Company's 2020 Form 10-Qs before the end of February, the Company does not expect to complete and file its 2020 annual report on Form 10-K by the required filing or Form 12b-25 extension dates. The Company expects to file its 2020 annual report on Form 10-K before the end of March 2021.

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 (loss) income before (benefit from) provision for income taxes, adjusted (benefit from) provision for income taxes, adjusted net (loss) income attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated and adjusted diluted net (loss) income per share to indicate the impact of amortization of debt discount related to our convertible notes and non-recurring acquisition, integration, acquired intangible amortization expenses, acquisition related depreciation and synergy costs (collectively referred to as “transaction costs”) related to the acquisition of the Layne Christensen Company and LiquiForce. Acquisition and integration costs include external transaction costs, professional fees and internal travel. Synergy costs include expenses incurred which will be eliminated as the integration of Layne and LiquiForce is completed.

Management believes that these additional non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons between industry peer companies. 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.

Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, the $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in November 2019 (the “2.75 % Convertible Notes”), are separated into liability and equity components on the consolidated balance sheets. The equity component represents the excess of the $230.0 million principal amount of the 2.75% Convertible Notes over the carrying amount of the liability component (“debt discount”). We are amortizing the debt discount to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 6.62% over the expected life of the 2.75% Convertible Notes.

(2)

The tax effect of transaction costs was calculated using the Company’s estimated annual statutory tax rate.
