Item 2.02.     Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Granite Construction Incorporated (the “Company,” “Granite,” “our,” or “we”) previously announced that its Water and Mineral Services operating group will be presented as discontinued operations and that its reportable segments and operating groups have changed. These changes will be presented in Granite’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and prior periods will be revised.

For investors who may want to consider the effects of the above noted changes in advance of the announcement of 2021 year-end results, Granite is furnishing certain unaudited summarized financial information in the tables below. These tables provide investors with historical segment financial information and disaggregated revenue data for our new operating groups that align with the new reportable segment structure for each of the previously reported fiscal years ended 2020 and 2019 and the previously reported quarters in fiscal years 2021 and 2020. Information on segment assets and related depreciation, depletion and amortization will be presented in the respective reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q beginning with the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

This information does not restate Granite’s previously reported consolidated financial statements for any period. It does not change Granite’s previously reported consolidated total assets, liabilities or shareholders’ equity or its reported consolidated net income or earnings per share, nor does it reflect any subsequent information or events, other than as required to reflect the change in reportable segments, the change in operating groups and disclosure of discontinued operations as described above. The updated information should be read in conjunction with our previously filed reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

The information set forth herein is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall the information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing of the Company, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
