How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA increased $67 million to $283 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Committed and Awarded Projects financial
"Committed and Awarded Projects (CAP) increased sequentially"
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"The tables below contain financial information calculated other than"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
convertible notes financial
"settling the conversions of our 3.75% convertible notes"
Convertible notes are a type of short-term loan that a company receives from investors, which can later be turned into company shares instead of being paid back in cash. They matter to investors because they offer a way to support a company early on while giving the potential to own a stake in its success if the company grows and later raises more funding.
net leverage ratio financial
"we also provide net leverage ratio"
The net leverage ratio measures how much debt a company has compared to its available assets or earnings, after accounting for its cash and liquid assets. It helps investors understand how heavily a company relies on borrowed money to finance its operations and growth. A higher ratio indicates greater financial risk, while a lower ratio suggests a more cautious approach to borrowing.

Current period net income was unfavorably impacted by $162 million of net non-operating charges associated with settling the conversions of our 3.75% convertible notes. As previously disclosed, we elected to settle the conversions of the convertible notes primarily in cash in order to limit dilution to our stockholders. The impact of the conversions and related transactions have been excluded from adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted net income attributable to Granite totaled $173 million, or $3.81 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income attributable to Granite of $124 million, or $2.70 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year.
•Revenue increased $333 million to $1.77 billion compared to $1.43 billion for the same period in the prior year.

“We delivered excellent third quarter results, reflecting strong execution across our business and continued progress on our strategy,” said Kyle Larkin, Granite President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our teams are executing at a high level, and the investments we have made to strengthen and expand our business are creating new opportunities for Granite. We continue to see attractive opportunities in our core transportation markets while expanding our capabilities and presence in federal, mission critical infrastructure, rail and other targeted end markets. Our record CAP and strong market outlook position us well as we enter 2027. We believe Granite has the people, capabilities and market position to capitalize on these opportunities and deliver profitable growth and long-term shareholder value.”

Revenue for the three and nine month periods increased year-over-year, driven by revenue from our recently acquired businesses. Gross profit margin and cash gross profit margin for the three and nine month periods decreased year-over-year primarily due to the margin impact of energy surcharges offsetting elevated diesel costs.



Outlook
Our 2026 fiscal year guidance is unchanged with the exception of our revenue range as noted below:
•Revenue in a range of $5.4 billion to $5.5 billion from a range of $5.3 billion to $5.5 billion
•Adjusted EBITDA margin in a range of 12.25% to 13.25%
•SG&A expense as a percent of revenue in a range of 8.25% to 8.75% of revenue, inclusive of an estimated $48 million of stock-based compensation expense
•Effective tax rate for adjusted net income in the mid-20s
•Capital expenditures in a range of approximately $140 million to $160 million, including approximately $50 million in planned strategic materials investments.

“Our strong performance through the first nine months of 2026 reinforces our confidence in both our full-year outlook and the longer-term financial targets we are announcing today,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Staci Woolsey. “At the midpoint of our updated 2026 revenue guidance, we expect approximately 15% organic revenue growth, with an additional 9% contribution from acquired companies. This organic growth is consistent with the 10% to 12% CAGR reflected in our 2029 financial targets and demonstrates the progress we are already making toward our long-term objectives. Our strong cash flow generation provides us with the financial flexibility to continue investing in organic growth while pursuing strategic opportunities through disciplined capital allocation.”
Our 2029 financial targets are summarized below:
•Organic revenue CAGR in a range of 10% to 12%
•Adjusted EBITDA margin in a range of 14% to 16%
•SG&A expense as a percent of revenue of approximately 7.5%
•Operating cash flow of approximately 13% of revenue and CAPEX of approximately 3% of revenue resulting in free cash flow of approximately 10% of revenue
•Continued expansion through M&A with a 2.5x net leverage target

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The tables below contain financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Specifically, we believe that non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA and EBITDA margin are useful in evaluating operating performance and are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties, and that such supplemental measures facilitate comparisons between companies that have different capital and financing structures and/or tax rates.

We are also providing adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP measures, to indicate the impact of stock-based compensation, (gain) loss on convertible debt transactions, net, gain on remeasurement of previously held equity method investment, and other costs, net, which includes strategic acquisition and integration expenses, and in 2025 legal fees for the defense of a former company officer in his now resolved civil litigation with the Securities and Exchange Commission and reorganization costs.
We provide adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net income attributable to Granite, adjusted diluted weighted average shares of common stock and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders, non-GAAP measures, to indicate the impact of the following:
•Acquired intangible asset amortization and acquisition-related depreciation;
•Stock-based compensation;
•(Gain) loss on convertible debt transactions, net;
•Amortization of convertible debt discount;
•Gain on remeasurement of previously held equity method investment; and
•Other costs, net as described above.
We also provide cash gross profit and cash gross profit per ton for the materials segment and product lines to exclude the impact of non-cash costs from gross profit. Non-cash costs include depreciation, depletion and amortization, and, starting in the first quarter of 2026, unrealized gains and losses from the change in fair value of commodity derivative instruments included in cost of revenue. Cash gross profit and cash gross profit per ton are presented to illustrate the operational performance generated by the assets of the materials segment and its product lines. In addition, we exclude barge delivery revenue from our calculation of average selling price per ton to facilitate comparability with prior periods and peer companies. The acquisition of Warren Paving introduced barge delivery revenue starting in the third quarter of 2025.
We believe these additional non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating operating performance, are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties, and facilitate comparisons to prior periods and between industry peer companies. Additionally, we use these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating our performance.

We also provide free cash flow as a percent of revenue, which is calculated by subtracting CAPEX as a percent of revenue from operating cash flow as a percent of revenue. We believe free cash flow is useful for investors to evaluate our ability to generate cash from business operations.

Additionally, we provide net leverage ratio, which is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from total debt divided by adjusted EBITDA. We believe net leverage ratio is useful for investors to evaluate our debt levels and overall financial condition.

The reader is cautioned that any non-GAAP financial measures provided by us are provided in addition to, and not as alternatives for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Items that may have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows must be considered when assessing our actual financial condition and performance regardless of whether these items are included in non-GAAP financial measures. The methods used by us to calculate 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 us may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.

(1)The tax effect of adjusting items was calculated using our estimated annual statutory tax rate. The tax effect of adjusting items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 excludes the (gain) loss on convertible debt transactions, net and amortization of convertible debt discount as they were non-tax deductible.
(2)When calculating diluted net income/loss per share attributable to common shareholders, GAAP requires that we include potential share dilution from the convertible notes when not antidilutive. We entered into capped call transactions relating to both the 3.25% and 3.75% convertible notes to offset the dilutive impact of the convertible notes. The impact of the capped call transactions was excluded from the GAAP diluted net income/loss per share attributable to common shareholders calculation as the impact would be antidilutive. For the purpose of calculating our adjusted diluted net income per share attributable to common shareholders, the dilutive effect of the convertible notes up to the capped call price is removed to reflect the impact of the capped call transactions.
