About Granite Construction Incorporat
About Granite Construction Incorporat
Granite Construction carried $7.0 billion in committed and awarded projects (CAP) at December 31, 2025, up from $5.3 billion a year earlier, with roughly $3.0 billion of unearned revenue expected to convert during 2026. Government-funded work represented approximately 70% of Construction segment revenues in 2025, and the total workforce stood at approximately 5,800 employees—2,500 salaried and 3,300 hourly—as of December 31, 2025.
Granite earns revenue primarily through fixed unit price contracts (56.9% of unearned revenue at December 31, 2025) and fixed price contracts (34.6%), with the balance in other types. The Construction segment spans roads, bridges, airports, tunnels, dams, water, solar, and federal civil work across vertically integrated home markets in 11 states—including California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, and Texas—plus national Tunnel, Federal, Industrial & Energy, and Layne divisions. The Materials segment produces aggregates, asphalt concrete, and liquid asphalt for internal use and third-party sale, with owned aggregate reserves and processing plants providing supply security. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) was the largest single customer at 10.1% of 2025 total revenue ($446.6 million); no other customer exceeded 10%. Commodity inputs—diesel fuel, liquid asphalt, steel, and cement—are subject to price volatility and tariff-related increases, while craft labor is partially covered by collective bargaining agreements at four wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Show full overview
Approximately 70% of Granite's Construction segment revenue in 2025 came from federal, state, and local government agencies. Caltrans contributed $446.6 million—10.1% of total revenue—down from 14.2% in 2024, illustrating year-to-year variability in state transportation funding releases. Federal contracts may be modified, delayed, or terminated at the government's convenience, and a partial government shutdown or appropriations lapse could delay project awards and slow CAP conversion, which management identifies as a material risk to business and financial condition.
