Granite Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results

Highlights

Third Quarter Results

• Record quarterly revenue of $1.1 billion, up 3.1 percent year-over-year
• Net income of $20.5 million; adjusted net income of $27.5 million¹
• Strong core operational results impacted by Heavy Civil operating group performance
• Strategic review of Heavy Civil operating group complete
• Committed and Awarded Projects² (CAP) totaled $4.7 billion, up 44.5 percent year-over-year

WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Granite Construction Incorporated (NYSE: GVA) today reported net income of $20.5 million ($0.43 per diluted share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, compared to net income of $55.7 million ($1.17 per diluted share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. On a year-to-date basis, net loss was $111.9 million, ($2.39 per diluted share) compared to net income of $35.9 million ($0.84 per diluted share) last year.

“During the third quarter, strong core operational performance was dampened by a negative contribution from the Heavy Civil operating group primarily driven by disputed work,” said James H. Roberts, President and Chief Executive Officer at Granite Construction Incorporated. “Our core businesses capitalized on good weather this quarter combined with well-funded infrastructure markets. As we restore balance in Heavy Civil, a critical piece of the puzzle is resolution of ongoing disputes which continue to have a distorted impact on our cash flows and earnings. We have completed our strategic review of this business unit and have taken immediate action including:

• Changed operational management to align Heavy Civil operating group with construction and materials operations;
• Targeting revenue of no more than 15 percent of overall company revenue for this portfolio;
• Aggressively pursuing dispute avoidance and resolution;
• Implementing refined estimating and risk mitigation approach to project pricing; and
• Pursuing projects solely in markets with strategic, competitive advantages

“A critical component of our current and future success is consistent performance on projects at scale, in this case projects typically in a range of about $100 million to $500 million, with particular emphasis on best-value procurements with more defined design and appropriate risk-sharing. With that said, the vast majority of Granite’s robust project pipeline is comprised of projects well below this level, reflecting our deliberate focus on de-risking our portfolio. Steady funding and buoyant market conditions have resulted in strong bookings, driving more than 44 percent growth in our CAP to $4.7 billion.”

Third quarter 2019 and 2018 results include after-tax, acquisition-related expenses of $7.1 million and $12.2 million, respectively³. Excluding the impact of acquisition-related expenses, third quarter 2019 adjusted net income was $27.5 million¹ and 2018 adjusted net income was $67.9 million¹, with adjusted income per diluted share of $0.58¹ and $1.43¹, respectively.

Selling, general & administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $73.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $70.8 million last year. For the first nine months of 2019, SG&A expenses were $224.6 million, compared to $193.3 million during the same prior-year period. The year-to-date increase is primarily attributable to businesses acquired in 2018.

Cash and marketable securities increased to a total $232.6 million as of September 30, 2019 compared to $206.0 million as of June 30, 2019.

The Company’s effective tax rate in the third quarter was 13.7 percent.

Third Quarter and Year-To-Date 2019 Segment Results

Transportation

• Third quarter 2019 revenue was $598.6 million, compared to $610.8 million in last year’s quarter. Year-to-date 2019 revenue decreased 9.0 percent to $1.3 billion compared to $1.5 billion last year. The year-to-date revenue was impacted by inclement weather that spanned the first part of the year.
• Third quarter 2019 gross profit was $13.6 million, which included $69.3 million of Heavy Civil operating group losses. Third quarter 2018 gross profit of $71.0 million included $8.2 million of Heavy Civil operating group losses. Year-to-date gross loss was $(65.0) million, compared to a gross profit of $138.4 million last year. Challenges related to projects in our Heavy Civil operating group have negatively affected 2019 results, while the remaining construction and materials business in this segment performed at exceptional levels.
• Segment CAP totaled nearly $3.7 billion as of September 30, 2019, including $1.0 billion of construction management/general contractor (CMGC) and alternative procurement projects.

Water

• Third quarter 2019 revenue was $135.9 million compared to $124.3 million in last year’s quarter. Year-to-date 2019 revenue was $348.0 million, compared to $216.0 million last year. The year-to-date revenue increases were primarily related to 2018 acquisitions, partially dampened by inclement weather experienced across our operations through May.
• Third quarter 2019 gross profit was $15.0 million compared to $24.1 million last year, with gross profit margin slightly lower at 11.1 percent. Year-to-date gross profit was $34.4 million, compared to $41.1 million last year. Year-to-date gross profit margin was 9.9 percent, down from 19.0 percent in 2018, which included non-recurring emergency work in the prior year. In the current year, gross profit was negatively impacted by a business acquired with the Layne Christensen Company acquisition that we recently divested.
• Segment CAP totaled $244.9 million as of September 30, 2019.

Specialty

• Third quarter 2019 revenue was $224.5 million, compared to $190.8 million in last year’s quarter. Year-to-date 2019 revenue was $540.2 million, compared to $461.1 million last year. The revenue increases reflect robust private-market work in our site preparation, power and mining services end markets. On a year-to-date basis, the increase also included the impact related to an acquisition in 2018.
• Third quarter 2019 gross profit was $38.3 million compared to $28.1 million last year, with gross profit margin of 17.1 percent up from 14.7 percent last year. Year-to-date gross profit was $75.4 million, compared to $65.3 million last year, with gross profit margin relatively flat at 14.0 percent.
• Segment CAP totaled $746.6 million as of September 30, 2019.

Materials

• Third quarter 2019 revenue was $129.1 million, compared to $129.6 million in last year’s quarter. Year-to-date 2019 revenue was $268.4 million, compared to $276.3 million last year. The modest year-to-date decline is attributable to inclement weather across the western United States through May.
• Third quarter 2019 gross profit was $24.5 million, compared to $21.3 million last year, with gross profit margin of 19.0 percent, up from 16.4 percent in 2018. Year-to-date gross profit was $34.7 million, compared to $36.3 million last year, with gross profit margin of 12.9 percent, down slightly from 13.1 percent in 2018, as wet weather persisted through May and slowed plant productivity in the first half of 2019.

Outlook and Guidance

“The alignment of operational capabilities with strategic opportunities at scale will match and be integrated into how we approach our entire portfolio, with all of our businesses using and operating with and from the same playbook,” Roberts said. “These actions set us on a more defined path for future success. Granite has written its nearly century-long history by consistently balancing resources, opportunities, and risks. The actions we are taking are expected to restore balance and eliminate distractions, enabling our talented teams to execute end-market growth strategies and create more value for all of our stakeholders.

“Current operational momentum, robust market dynamics and our strong CAP combined with favorable weather patterns the rest of this year should allow our businesses to deliver positive results well into the fourth quarter. As we look ahead, these positive dynamics have us well positioned for 2020.”

While not providing guidance for the remainder of the year, our preliminary expectations for 2020 are:

• Mid-single digit consolidated revenue growth
• Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ of 6.5 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 loss 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 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 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. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure of net income (loss) attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated because the timing and amount of the excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate.
