• Revenue increased $158 million to $1.43 billion compared to $1.28 billion for the same period in the prior year.
• Gross profit increased $58 million to $261 million compared to $203 million for the same period in the prior year.

• Adjusted EBITDA (2) increased $67 million to $216 million compared to $149 million for the same period in the prior year.

“Our third quarter results demonstrate solid progress toward our 2027 financial targets,” said Kyle Larkin, Granite President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our CAP reached $6.3 billion, which is a new record, with a number of projects ramping up in the third quarter that should accelerate growth in the fourth quarter and into 2026. Year-over-year gross profit margin gains in both segments were led by exceptional results in the Materials segment. In addition, we continued to execute on our strategy to support and strengthen our existing vertically-integrated home markets with the acquisition of Cinderlite, a business that should bolster our Nevada operations. Robust public and private markets, disciplined project selection and execution, and strategic M&A opportunities position Granite to finish 2025 strong and achieve top- and bottom-line growth in 2026 in line with our financial targets.”

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 Results

Net income attributable to Granite totaled $141 million, or $2.83 per diluted share, compared to $85 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year. Adjusted net income attributable to Granite (2) totaled $211 million, or $4.67 per diluted share, compared to $158 million, or $3.56 per diluted share, for the same period in the prior year.

• Revenue increased $229 million to $3.26 billion, compared to $3.03 billion for the same period in the prior year.
• Gross profit increased $121 million to $543 million, compared to $422 million for the same period in the prior year.
• SG&A expenses increased $53 million to $303 million, or 9.3% of revenue, compared to $250 million, or 8.2% of revenue, for the same period in the prior year. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to higher salaries and related costs and an increase in stock-based compensation expenses.
• Adjusted EBITDA (2) increased $103 million to $396 million compared to $293 million for the same period in the prior year.
• Year-to-date operating cash flow was $290 million and positions us to outperform our target of 9% operating cash flow as a percent of revenue for the year.

(1) CAP is comprised of 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, as well as the general construction portion of construction manager/general contractor, construction manager/at risk and progressive design build contracts to the extent contract execution and funding is probable.

(2) Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the description and reconciliation of non-GAAP measures in the attached tables.

Revenue increased year-over-year, driven primarily by $53 million from our recently acquired businesses, Warren Paving and Papich Construction, and higher CAP entering the quarter. Gross profit increased year-over-year as a result of the increase in revenue and improved project execution across our higher quality project portfolio. Additionally, Papich Construction and Warren Paving contributed $7 million of gross profit during the quarter, which included $1 million of purchase accounting-related charges such as step-up depreciation and intangible asset amortization.

CAP increased $273 million sequentially to $6.3 billion, an increase of $718 million year-over-year. The bidding pipeline continues to be robust across the company in both public and private markets and there are ample opportunities to build CAP to drive organic growth in line with our 2027 financial targets.

Revenue, gross profit and cash gross profit improved year-over-year primarily driven by higher sales volumes and prices in both aggregates and asphalt. Additionally, materials revenue from our recently acquired businesses, Warren Paving and Papich Construction, was $46 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and gross profit was $10 million, including $2 million of purchase accounting-related charges such as step-up depreciation and intangible asset amortization, for the same periods.

Outlook

We are updating our 2025 fiscal year guidance as noted below:

• Revenue narrowed to a range of $4.35 billion to $4.45 billion from a range of $4.35 billion to $4.55 billion
• Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to a range of 11.50% to 12.50% from a range of 11.25% to 12.25%
• SG&A expense unchanged at approximately 9.0% of revenue, inclusive of an estimated $40 million of stock-based compensation expense
• Effective tax rate for adjusted net income unchanged in the Mid-20s
• Capital expenditures expected to total approximately $130 million, or approximately 3% of revenue

We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margin or the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure of net income attributable to Granite because we cannot predict with a reasonable degree of certainty and without unreasonable efforts certain components or excluded items that are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors. For these reasons, we are unable to assess the potential significance of the unavailable information.

“In the third quarter, we saw an increase in materials orders and we continued to expand our high quality project portfolio. We expect a busy fourth quarter and continuation into 2026. Some anticipated project start ups shifted later into the second half of 2025, prompting a revision to our revenue range for 2025. Importantly, with our strong performance in both segments, we are increasing our full year adjusted EBITDA margin range,” stated Staci Woolsey, Granite Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
