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, 2021 (“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  June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The  December 31, 2021 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, 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 Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”) and 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): 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, 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 expected 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 3, 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Current and non-current assets and liabilities of these businesses are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities held for 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 six months ended  June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

2. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, which 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, which provided clarification guidance to ASU 2020-04. We adopted these ASUs during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, in conjunction with entering into our Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (see Note 15), which replaced the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for purposes of interest rate calculation. The adoption of these ASUs did 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.

3.  Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of 2021, our Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the businesses in WMS within the next twelve months. This includes: our trenchless and pipe rehabilitation services business (“Inliner”); our water supply, treatment, delivery and maintenance business (“Water Resources”); and our mineral exploration drilling business (“Mineral Services”). After consideration of the relevant facts, we concluded the assets and liabilities of our WMS businesses met the criteria for classification as held for sale. We concluded the proposed disposal activities represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our operations and financial results and qualified for presentation as discontinued operations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-20, Presentation of financial statements - Discontinued operations. Accordingly, the financial results of these businesses are presented in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Current and non-current assets and liabilities of these businesses not sold as of the balance sheet date are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities held for sale for all periods presented.

On March 16, 2022, we completed the sale of Inliner to Inland Pipe Rehabilitation LLC (“IPR”) and 1000097155 Ontario Inc. (“Ontario” and together with IPR, the “Purchasers”), investment affiliates of J.F. Lehman & Company, 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 gain on sale was included in the net income from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Water Resources and Mineral Services businesses continued to meet the criteria for classification as held-for-sale and the financial results remain in discontinued operations as of June 30, 2022 and are expected to be sold by the end of 2022.

The following table presents summarized balance sheet information of assets and liabilities held-for-sale:

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 revisions 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 six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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. 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):

Decrease to net income/increase to net loss from continuing operations

 $19.3  $  $27.3  $8.9 

Amounts attributable to non-controlling interests

 $3.0  $  $3.0  $2.6 

Decrease to net income/increase to net loss attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated from continuing operations

Decrease to net income/increase to net loss per diluted share attributable to common shareholders from continuing operations

 $0.37  $  $0.54  $0.14 

The decreases during the three and six months ended June 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 than originally anticipated and weather impacts.

8. Contract Assets and Liabilities

As a result of changes in contract transaction price related to performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied prior to the end of the periods, we recognized revenue of $71.0 million and $112.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $39.4 million and $100.9 million during the three and six months ended 2021, respectively. The changes in contract transaction price were from items such as executed or estimated change orders and unresolved contract modifications and claims.

As of  June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the aggregate claim recovery estimates included in contract asset balances were $59.1 million, $39.0 million and $47.7 million, respectively.

The components of the contract asset balances as of the respective dates were as follows:

(in thousands)

  June 30, 2022   December 31, 2021   June 30, 2021 

Costs in excess of billings and estimated earnings

 $47,184  $14,158  $46,771

As of  June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, contract retention receivable from Brightline Trains Florida LLC represented 14.2%, 17.2% and 14.0%, respectively, of total contract assets. No other contract retention receivable individually exceeded 10% of total contract assets at any of the presented dates. The majority of the contract retention balance is expected to be collected within one year.

As work is performed, revenue is recognized and the corresponding contract liabilities are reduced. We recognized revenue of $47.7 million and $207.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $28.4 and $167.6 during the three and six months ended  June 30, 2021, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balances at  December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

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.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not record any fair value adjustments related to nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

 

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 six months ended June 30, 2022, 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 our 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  June 30, 2022, there was approximately $309.7 million of construction revenue to be recognized on unconsolidated construction joint venture contracts of which $110.3 million represented our share and the remaining $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.

Consolidated Construction Joint Ventures (“CCJVs”)

At  June 30, 2022, we were engaged in nine active CCJV projects with total contract values ranging from $12.1 million to $439.4 million for a combined total of $1.8 billion of which our share was $1.0 billion. As of June 30, 2022, our share of revenue remaining to be recognized on these CCJVs was $225.9 million and ranged from $4.7 million to $56.2 million by project. Our proportionate share of the equity in these joint ventures was between 50.0% and 70.0%. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, total revenue from CCJVs was $119.4 million, $227.0 million, $114.9 million and $197.5 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, CCJVs used $13.4 million of operating cash flows and during the six months ended June 30, 2021, CCJVs provided $19.4 million of operating cash flows, respectively.

Unconsolidated Construction Joint Ventures

As of  June 30, 2022, we were engaged in eight active unconsolidated joint venture projects with total contract values ranging from $12.3 million to $3.8 billion for a combined total of $9.7 billion of which our share was $2.7 billion. Our proportionate share of the equity in these unconsolidated construction joint ventures ranged from 20.0% to 50.0%. As of  June 30, 2022, our share of the revenue remaining to be recognized on these unconsolidated construction joint ventures was $110.3 million and ranged from $1.1 million to $34.8 million by project.

Total long-term debt

 $286,801  $331,191  $331,222 

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”), including an accordion feature allowing us to increase borrowings up to the greater of (a) $200.0 million and (b) 100% of twelve-month trailing EBITDA, subject to lender approval. The Credit Agreement includes a $150.0 million sublimit for letters of credit ($75.0 million for financial letters of credit) and a $20.0 million sublimit for swingline loans.

We may borrow on the Revolver, at our option, at either (a) the SOFR term rate plus a credit adjustment spread plus applicable margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.0%, or (b) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.0% to 1.0%. The applicable margin is based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in our Credit Agreement), calculated quarterly. 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. The letters of credit had expiration dates between August 2022 and  December 2025. As of June 30, 2022, the applicable rate was 1.8% for loans under the Credit Agreement bearing interest based on SOFR and 0.8% for loans bearing interest at the base rate. Accordingly, the effective interest rates at  June 30, 2022 for SOFR and base rate loans were 3.4% and 5.5%, respectively.

The amended Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and restrictive covenants, and customary events of default. The financial covenants include a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 3.25 to 1.00 and a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the amended Credit Agreement) of 3.00 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2022, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 2.57, which did not exceed the maximum of 3.25. Our Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio was 6.53, which was above the minimum of 3.00.

Effective January 1, 2022, we adopted ASU 2020-06 (see Note 2), which updated our accounting for the 2.75% Convertible Notes.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we did not record amortization of the debt discount due to the implementation of ASU 2020-06, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded $1.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of amortization of the debt discount. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded $0.4 million, $0.7 million, $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of amortization related to debt issuance costs.

The following table presents the provision for (benefit from) income taxes on continuing operations for the respective periods:

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes on continuing operations

 $2,549  $7,710  $(2,782) $(14,047)

Effective tax rate

  (630.9%)  22.8%  12.8%  27.9%

 

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was lower than the prior year primarily due to a $12 million accrual related to the expected resolution of the SEC investigation discussed further in Note 18. The expected payment of $12 million is non-deductible for tax purposes and is recognized as a discrete adjustment in the current quarter. The tax impact of this discrete adjustment relative to the small loss from continuing operations before income taxes results in the disproportionately large negative tax rate for the current quarter.

18.  Contingencies - Legal Proceedings

Liabilities relating to legal proceedings and government inquiries, to the extent that we have concluded such liabilities are probable and the amounts of such liabilities are reasonably estimable, are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. It is possible that future developments in our legal proceedings and inquiries could require us to (i) adjust or reverse existing accruals, or (ii) record new accruals that we did not originally believe to be probable or that could not previously have been reasonably estimated. Such changes could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows in any reporting period. Disclosure of loss contingencies is provided when a material loss is probable but not reasonably estimable, a material loss is reasonably possible but not probable, or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the amount recorded. The total range of possible loss related to (i) matters considered reasonably possible, and (ii) reasonably possible amounts in excess of accrued losses recorded for probable loss contingencies, including those related to liquidated damages, could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements if they become probable and reasonably estimable.

The total liabilities for legal proceedings recorded as of June 30, 2022 and  December 31, 2021 were $129 million, $63 million of which was paid through insurance proceeds, which have been fully funded into a settlement escrow account. The balance of the settlement escrow account is included in other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. As of  June 30, 2021, the total liabilities recorded for legal proceedings, net of insurance receivable, were $66 million. Additionally, as further discussed below, during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we accrued $12 million relating to the expected resolution of the SEC investigation.

Ordinary Course Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, we and our affiliates are involved in various legal proceedings alleging, among other things, liability issues or breach of contract or tortious conduct in connection with the performance of services and/or materials provided, the various outcomes of which often cannot be predicted with certainty. For information on our accounting policies regarding affirmative claims and back charges that we are party to in the ordinary course of business, see Note 1 of our Annual Report. We and our affiliates are also subject to government inquiries in the ordinary course of business seeking information concerning our compliance with government construction contracting requirements and various laws and regulations, the outcomes which often cannot be predicted with certainty.

Some of the matters in which we or our joint ventures and affiliates are involved  may include compensatory, punitive, or other claims or sanctions that, if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that are not considered probable to be incurred or cannot currently be reasonably estimated. In addition, in some circumstances our government contracts could be terminated, we could be suspended, debarred or incur other administrative penalties or sanctions, or payment of our costs could be disallowed. While any of our pending legal proceedings  may be subject to early resolution as a result of our ongoing efforts to resolve the proceedings, whether or when any legal proceeding will be resolved is neither predictable nor guaranteed.

Securities Litigation and Derivative Lawsuits

On  August 13, 2019, a securities class action was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, James H. Roberts, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, and Jigisha Desai, our former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer. An amended complaint was filed on  February 20, 2020 that, among other things, added Laurel Krzeminski, our former Chief Financial Officer, as a defendant. The amended complaint was brought on behalf of an alleged class of persons or entities that acquired our common stock between  April 30, 2018 and  October 24, 2019, and alleged claims arising under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. After the filing of the amended complaint, this case was re-titled Police Retirement System of St. Louis v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et. al. The amended complaint sought damages based on allegations that the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts in the Company’s SEC filings about its business, operations and prospects. On  May 20, 2020, the court denied, in part, our motion to dismiss the amended complaint. On  January 21, 2021, the court granted the plaintiff’s motion for class certification. 

On  October 23, 2019, a putative class action lawsuit, titled Nasseri v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et. al., was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Cruz against the Company, James H. Roberts, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, Laurel Krzeminski, our former Chief Financial Officer, and the then-serving Board of Directors on behalf of persons who acquired shares of Company common stock in the Company’s  June 2018 merger with Layne Christensen Company (“Layne”). The complaint asserted causes of action under the Securities Act of 1933 and alleged that the registration statement and prospectus were negligently prepared and included materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose facts required to be disclosed and seeks monetary damages based on the allegations. On  August 10, 2020, the court sustained our demurrer dismissing the complaint with leave to amend. On  September 16, 2020, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint. We filed a demurrer seeking to dismiss the amended complaint. On  April 9, 2021, the court entered an order overruling our demurrer seeking to dismiss the amended complaint. On  May 14, 2021, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification.

On  April 29, 2021, we entered into a stipulation of settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to settle Police Retirement System of St. Louis v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et al. The Settlement Agreement also settled claims alleged in Nasseri v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et al. As a result of entering into the Settlement Agreement, we recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $66 million in the quarter ended  March 31, 2021.

Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay or cause to be paid a total of $129 million in cash to a settlement fund that will be used to pay all settlement fees and expenses, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and cash payments to members of the settlement class. The settlement class agreed to release us, the other defendants named in the lawsuits and certain of their respective related parties from any and all claims, rights, causes of action, liabilities, actions, suits, damages or demands of any kind whatsoever, that relate in any way to the purchase, acquisition, holding, sale or disposition of our common stock during the period between  February 17, 2017 and  October 24, 2019 that arose out of or are based upon or related to the facts alleged or the claims or allegations set forth in Police Retirement System of St. Louis v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et al. or relate in any way to any alleged violation of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any other state, federal or foreign jurisdiction’s securities or other laws, any alleged misstatement, omission or disclosure (including in financial statements) or other alleged securities-related wrongdoing or misconduct, including all claims alleged in Nasseri v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et al. The Settlement Agreement contained no admission of liability, wrongdoing or responsibility by any of the parties.

On  April 30, 2021, the class representative in Police Retirement System of St. Louis v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et al. filed a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement. The plaintiff in Nasseri v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et al. was permitted to intervene, although the court denied the plaintiff's application to be appointed as additional lead plaintiff. On  October 6, 2021, the court issued an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement and, pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, $129 million was paid to the settlement escrow account. $66 million was paid by the Company and $63 million was paid through insurance proceeds. The total $129 million is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as deposits and an accrued liability. Members of the settlement class had the opportunity to object to the settlement at a fairness hearing held by the court to determine whether the settlement should be finally approved and whether the proposed order and final judgment should be entered. The fairness hearing occurred on February 24, 2022. On March 17, 2022, the court granted final approval of the settlement, granted the request for attorneys’ fees by class representative's counsel, granted in part and denied in part the request for attorneys’ fees by the plaintiff in Nasseri v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et al., and entered final judgment. On April 12, 2022, the plaintiff in Nasseri v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et al. requested that the Nasseri case be dismissed with prejudice in light of the final approval of the settlement. On April 15, 2022, the plaintiff in Nasseri v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et al. filed a notice of appeal in Police Retirement System of St. Louis v. Granite Construction Incorporated, et al., naming Class Representative Police Retirement System of St. Louis as appellee.

On  May 6, 2020, a stockholder derivative lawsuit, titled English v. Roberts, et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against James H. Roberts, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, Jigisha Desai, our former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, Laurel Krzeminski, our former Chief Financial Officer, and our then-current Board of Directors, and the Company, as a nominal defendant, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that allegedly occurred between  April 30, 2018 and  October 24, 2019. The lawsuit alleges that the individual defendants each knowingly inflated the Company’s revenue, income, and margins in violation of U.S. GAAP, which caused the results during the relevant periods to be materially false and misleading. The complaint seeks monetary damages and corporate governance reforms. Pursuant to court order, this action was stayed until the court's entry of final judgment on March 17, 2022 in the putative securities class action lawsuit filed in the Northern District of California.

On  May 12, 2021, a stockholder derivative lawsuit, titled Davydov v. Roberts, et al., was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against James H. Roberts, Jigisha Desai, Laurel Krzeminski, Craig Hall, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Compliance Officer, and Secretary, and our then-current Board of Directors, and the Company, as a nominal defendant, asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty that allegedly occurred between  April 30, 2018 and  October 24, 2019. The lawsuit alleges that the individual defendants each knowingly inflated the Company’s revenue, income, and margins in violation of U.S. GAAP, which caused the results during the relevant periods to be materially false and misleading. The complaint seeks monetary damages and corporate governance reforms.

On April 14, 2022, the parties in Davydov v. Roberts et al., the plaintiff in English v. Roberts et al., and the Company entered into a Stipulation of Compromise and Settlement that, if approved by the court in Davydov and not subject to termination under its terms, provides that (i) defendants will cause insurers to pay $7.5 million, which amount, less court-awarded attorneys’ fees and expenses, will be paid to the Company, (ii) the Company shall implement agreed upon corporate governance provisions within 30 days of final approval of the settlement, and (iii) all claims that were asserted or could have been asserted against the defendants or their related persons in Davydov v. Roberts, et al., English v. Roberts, et al., or any other proceeding on behalf of the Davydov plaintiff, the English plaintiff, the Company or any Granite stockholder, will be released. On April 14, 2022, the plaintiff in Davydov v. Roberts, et al. filed the Stipulation of Compromise and Settlement and a proposed scheduling order for a hearing in the Delaware Court of Chancery for review of the settlement. The Court in English v. Roberts, et al. has entered the parties’ stipulation to stay that case in light of the settlement filed in Davydov v. Roberts, et al. The Delaware Court of Chancery held a fairness hearing concerning its review of the settlement on July 12, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022,  December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, other than the Settlement Agreement charge described above, we did not record any liability related to the above matters because we concluded such liabilities were not probable and the amounts of such liabilities were not reasonably estimable.

Other Matters

In connection with our prior disclosure of the Audit/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 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. On July 20, 2021, we were informed of an arbitration award denying insurance coverage for claims related to the remedial measures undertaken by the general contractor of the Salesforce Tower and related damages. 

On February 3, 2022, a lawsuit titled Steadfast Insurance Company (Steadfast), a subrogee of Clark/Hathaway Dinwiddie, a Joint Venture (CHDJV) v. Layne Christensen Company (Layne) was filed in the 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 Layne has multiple defenses and counterclaims to the claims at issue. Layne intends to vigorously defend against the claims and prosecute its counterclaims, but we cannot 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 range of reasonably possible loss upon final resolution of this matter could be up to approximately $100 million.

19. Reportable 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 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 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. Within the public sector, we primarily concentrate on infrastructure projects, including the construction of streets, roads, highways, mass transit facilities, airport infrastructure, bridges, dams, power-related facilities, utilities, tunnels and other infrastructure-related projects. Within the private sector, we perform site preparation, mining services and infrastructure services for residential development, energy development, commercial and industrial 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 identified 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 segments, which are the same as our operating segments, were changed to two reportable segments: Construction and Materials (see Note 19 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”).

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

Funding for our public work projects, which accounts for approximately 75% of our portfolio, is dependent on federal, state, regional and local revenues. At the federal level, the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (“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 related incremental funding. We continue to believe that the increased multi-year spending commitment will improve the programming visibility for state and local governments and bring meaningful impact to project lettings starting in late 2022 and then growing in 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. While each market is unique, we see a strong funding environment at the state and local levels currently and we expect that 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”), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, which is a 10-year, $54.2 billion program without any sunset provisions. Revenue collected through SB-1 is on track to increase over the next 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 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 strong 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 improved 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 end of the year. 

Litigation and SEC Matters

As further discussed in Note 18 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” our wholly owned subsidiary, Layne Christensen Company (“Layne”), has been sued for $100 million relating to Layne’s work on the Salesforce Tower 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. See Note 18 and "In connection with acquisitions or divestitures, we may become subject to liabilities” and "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. Risk Factors in our Annual Report for additional information.

Additionally, as further discussed in Note 18 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” we accrued $12 million relating to the expected resolution of the SEC investigation.

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.

Construction revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $81.2 million and $113.2 million, or 11.4% and 9.3%, respectively, when compared to 2021. These decreases were primarily driven by the wind down of several large projects in the Central operating group, as well as delayed project awards, slower progress on existing projects due to supply chain disruptions in the current year and less favorable weather conditions in the first quarter of 2022 in the California operating group. These decreases were partially offset by increased revenue in the Mountain operating group.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the majority of revenue earned in the Construction segment was from the public sector.

Committed and Awarded Projects

CAP consists of two components: (1) unearned revenue and (2) other awards. Unearned revenue includes the revenue we expect to record in the future on executed contracts, including 100% of our consolidated joint venture contracts and our proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture contracts. We generally include a project in unearned revenue at the time a contract is awarded, the contract has been executed and to the extent we believe 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.

Other awards include the general 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. In line with the revised reportable segments, all CAP is now in the Construction segment.

CAP of $4.2 billion at June 30, 2022 increased $0.3 billion when compared to March 31, 2022. Significant new awards during the three months ended June 30, 2022 included a $200 million award for street work in Illinois, a $55 million road improvement project in Alaska, $38 million for rehabilitation, construction improvements and bridge replacement projects in California, a $36 million infrastructure project in Guam, a $15 million restoration project in California, a $13 million resurfacing project in Alaska and a $10 million highway median fill project in California.

Non-controlling partners’ share of CAP as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 was $165.2 million, $214.3 million and $273.6 million, respectively. At June 30, 2022, six contracts had total forecasted losses with remaining revenue of $178.5 million, or 4.2%, of total CAP.

Construction gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $15.1 million and $19.7, or 19.8% and 15.3%, respectively, when compared to 2021 primarily due to an increase in the negative net impact from revisions in estimates in our Central operating group (see Note 4 of "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements").

Materials gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $4.7 million and $4.0 million, or 21.2% and 17.5%, respectively, when compared to 2021 primarily due to lower asphalt volumes in California and overall higher fuel costs. Although we implemented energy surcharges in the second quarter of 2022 to cover increased fuel costs, contracts we had in place without energy surcharge clauses or prior to our surcharge taking effect are still being burned through at the lower sales price.

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 six months ended June 30, 2022 remained relatively unchanged when compared to 2021.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include costs related to our operational offices that are not allocated to direct contract costs and expenses related to our corporate functions. Other general and administrative expenses include travel and entertainment, outside services, information technology, depreciation, occupancy, training, office supplies, incentive compensation, changes in the fair market value of our Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation plan liability and other miscellaneous expenses. Total general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $6.1 million, or 14.1%, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $8.7 million, or 10.0%, when compared to 2021, primarily due to decreases in the fair market value of our Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation plan liability, which is offset in other (income) expense, net, through our own company-owned life insurance policy.

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.

See Note 17 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for more information.

Amount Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

  $ 583     $ (1,286 )   $ (2,535 )   $ (2,158 )

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 3 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, investments, available borrowing capacity and cash generated from operations. We may also from time-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 including the WMS businesses.

Our material 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, repurchase 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 other 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 long-term requirements and plans. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient capital will continue to be available 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 $45.8 million, $54.4 million and $62.3 million as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Excluded from the table above is:

   • $45.1 million, $56.5 million and $47.5 million as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively, in Granite’s portion of unconsolidated construction joint venture cash and cash equivalents
   • $8.6 million, $16.5 million and $15.6 million as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively, that is included in current assets held-for-sale

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 primarily due to earlier procurement of equipment 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 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. We currently anticipate 2022 capital expenditures for continuing operations to be between approximately $100 million and $115 million.

Operating activities. 

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 project 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.

Cash used in operating activities of $ 103.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represents a $ 72.3 million increase in cash used when compared to the same period of 2021. The change was primarily attributable to the timing of receipts and payments of working capital, which 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 the 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 decrease in contributions, net of distributions, to unconsolidated joint ventures and affiliates.

Related to the litigation settlements discussed in Note 18 of “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” we have separately presented the $129 million liability and the associated $63 million insurance receivable in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The insurance receivable was collected and the liability was paid to the Court in October 2021; therefore, the impact on operating cash flow occurred in the fourth quarter of 2021 and there was no impact during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Investing activities

Cash provided by investing activities of $30.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represents a $28.7 million increase when compared to 2021. The change was primarily due to proceeds from the sale of the Inliner business, partially offset by purchases of marketable securities and property and equipment and a decrease in proceeds from sales of property and equipment.

Financing activities

Cash used in financing activities of $157.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represents a $143.4 million increase when compared to 2021. The change was primarily due to the prepayment of our term loan of $124.7 million and repurchases of common stock (inclusive of our accelerated share repurchase) of $70.4 million, partially offset by $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 line with projected cash needs for the second half of 2022.

Derivatives

We recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value using Level 2 inputs. See Note 10 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 June 30, 2022, approximately $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. The debt associated with our unconsolidated non-construction entities is included in Note 12 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, the 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 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 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 June 30, 2022, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 2.57, which did not exceed the maximum of 3.25. Our Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio was 6.53, which was above the minimum of 3.00.

Share Repurchase Program

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

On May 2, 2022, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase transaction with Bank of Montreal. 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 expected to occur in the third quarter of 2022.
