Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- General
Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Granite Construction Incorporated (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Granite”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“Annual Report”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. Further, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly our financial position at March 31, 2025 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The December 31, 2024 condensed consolidated balance sheet data included herein was derived from audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
Seasonality: Our operations are typically affected more by weather conditions during the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year which may alter our construction schedules and can create variability in our revenues and profitability. Therefore, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
- Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
We closely monitor all Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and other authoritative guidance.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. These new disclosure requirements are effective prospectively commencing with our annual report for the year ending December 31, 2025. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which requires that a joint venture apply a new basis of accounting upon formation. As a result, a newly formed joint venture, upon formation, would initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value. This ASU is effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances the disclosures regarding an entity’s reportable segments and addresses requests from investors and other allocators of capital for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. We adopted this ASU retrospectively for the year ended December 31, 2024 and quarterly periods thereafter. See Note 18 for more information.
No other new accounting pronouncements were recently issued or adopted in the three months ended March 31, 2025 that had or are expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
- Acquisition
Dickerson & Bowen, Inc.
On August 9, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Dickerson & Bowen, Inc. ("D&B") for $125.5 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments. D&B is an aggregates, asphalt and highway construction company serving central and southern Mississippi which expands our footprint in that region. D&B’s customers are in both the public and private sectors. We have accounted for this transaction in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).
D&B's results have been included in the Construction and Materials segments since the acquisition date. Revenue and gross profit attributable to D&B for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $15.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
In accordance with ASC 805, the preliminary purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of August 9, 2024. These estimates are subject to revision, which may result in adjustments to the values disclosed below. There are certain provisional estimates that are subject to finalization such as deferred taxes. As we continue to integrate the acquired business, we may obtain additional information which may result in revisions to preliminary valuation assumptions, estimates and the resulting fair values presented herein. We expect to finalize these amounts within 12 months from the acquisition date.
For the purpose of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the contractual purchase price has been adjusted to exclude $4 million in cash acquired and include closing adjustments, resulting in an updated purchase price of $121.2 million. The tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, were $25.2 million and $27.9 million, respectively. This generated acquired goodwill of $68.1 million, none of which is tax deductible. The most significant assets acquired were $38.1 million of property and equipment and an $18.2 million customer relationships intangible asset.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we made immaterial measurement period adjustments to reflect facts and circumstances in existence as of the acquisition date.
- Revisions in Estimates
Our profit recognition related to construction contracts is based on estimates of transaction price and costs to complete each project. These estimates can vary significantly in the normal course of business as projects progress, circumstances develop and evolve, and uncertainties are resolved. Changes in estimates of transaction price and costs to complete may result in the reversal of previously recognized revenue if the current estimate adversely differs from the previous estimate. In addition, the estimated or actual recovery related to estimated costs associated with unresolved affirmative claims and back charges may be recorded in future periods or may be at values below the associated cost, which can cause fluctuations in the gross profit impact from revisions in estimates.
When we experience significant revisions in our estimates, we undergo a process that includes reviewing the nature of the changes to ensure that there are no material amounts that should have been recorded in a prior period rather than as revisions in estimates for the current period. For revisions in estimates, generally we use the cumulative catch-up method for changes to the transaction price that are part of a single performance obligation. Under this method, revisions in estimates are accounted for in their entirety in the period of change. There can be no assurance that we will not experience further changes in circumstances or otherwise be required to revise our estimates in the future.
In our review of these changes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we did not identify any material amounts that should have been recorded in a prior period.
The projects with increases from revisions in estimates, which individually had an impact of $5.0 million or more on gross profit, are summarized as follows (dollars in millions, except per share data):
| Three Months EndedMarch 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Number of projects with upward estimate changes | 1 | 1 |
| Increase in gross profit, net | $8.3 | $7.4 |
| Increase to project profitability, net | $8.3 | $7.4 |
| Decrease to net loss | $6.2 | $5.6 |
| Decrease to net loss attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated | $6.2 | $5.6 |
| Decrease to net loss per diluted share attributable to common shareholders | $0.14 | $0.13 |
The increase during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was due to a change in the estimated amount of probable recovery on an outstanding claim and the increase during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was due to changes in the estimated transaction price related to contract modifications resulting from revisions to project work plans, permitting and scheduling. None of the increases above had an impact on non-controlling interest.
The projects with decreases from revisions in estimates, which individually had an impact of $5.0 million or more on gross profit, are summarized as follows (dollars in millions, except per share data):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Number of projects with downward estimate changes | 1 | 1 |
| Reduction in gross profit, net | $8.8 | $7.7 |
| Decrease to project profitability, net | $8.8 | $7.7 |
| Increase to net loss | $6.6 | $5.8 |
| Increase to net loss attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated | $6.6 | $5.8 |
| Increase to net loss per diluted share attributable to common shareholders | $0.15 | $0.13 |
The decreases during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were due to additional costs related to changes in project duration, lower productivity than originally anticipated and increased labor and materials costs. None of the decreases above had any impact on non-controlling interest.
- Disaggregation of Revenue
In addition to disaggregating revenue by reportable segment (see Note 18), we further disaggregate Construction segment revenue by customer type and Materials segment revenue by product line. We believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
Construction Segment Disaggregation by Customer Type
Customers in our Construction segment are predominantly in the public sector which includes certain federal agencies, state departments of transportation, local transit authorities, county and city public works departments and school districts. Our private sector customers include, but are not limited to, developers, utilities and private owners of industrial, commercial and residential sites.
Materials Segment Disaggregation by Product Line
The Materials segment focuses primarily on production of aggregates, recycled materials, asphalt concrete and liquid asphalt. In the first quarter of 2025, we began disaggregating Materials segment revenue by product line. We categorize aggregates and recycled materials as Aggregates and asphalt concrete and liquid asphalt as Asphalt in the table below. Other includes immaterial amounts of revenue from products and services that are not considered to be core product lines.
The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by reportable segment, by customer type for our Construction segment and product line for our Materials segment:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Construction segment revenue: | ||
| Public | $395,885 | $419,816 |
| Private | 218,733 | 175,397 |
| Total Construction segment revenue | $614,618 | $595,213 |
| Materials segment revenue: | ||
| Aggregates | $40,402 | $36,089 |
| Asphalt | 43,982 | 40,813 |
| Other | 545 | 160 |
| Total Materials segment revenue | $84,929 | $77,062 |
| Total revenue | $699,547 | $672,275 |
- Unearned Revenue
The following table presents our unearned revenue disaggregated by customer type as of the respective periods:
| (in thousands) | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |

| Private | 719,801 | 783,105 |
| Total | $3,833,875 | $3,584,378 |
All unearned revenue is in the Construction segment. Approximately $2.8 billion of the March 31, 2025 unearned revenue is expected to be recognized within the next twelve months and the remaining amount will be recognized thereafter.
- Contract Assets and Liabilities
As a result of changes in contract transaction price related to performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied prior to the end of the periods, we recognized revenue of $49.5 million and $84.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The changes in contract transaction price for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were from items such as executed or estimated change orders and unresolved contract modifications and claims.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate claim recovery estimates included in contract asset and liability balances were $44.9 million and $46.6 million, respectively.
The components of the contract asset balances as of the respective dates were as follows:

|---|---|---|
| Costs in excess of billings and estimated earnings | $125,545 | $139,436 |
| Contract retention | 149,047 | 188,917 |
| Total contract assets | $274,592 | $328,353 |
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no contract retention receivables individually exceeded 10% of total contract assets. The December 31, 2024 contract retention balance included $29.2 million from Brightline Trains Florida LLC, all of which was collected in the first quarter of 2025. The majority of the contract retention balance is expected to be collected within one year.
As work is performed, revenue is recognized and the corresponding contract liabilities are reduced. We recognized revenue of $207.8 million and $198.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balances at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Our long-term securities have varying maturities between one and three years.
(2) The fair values of our 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the "3.25% Convertible Notes") and our 3.75% convertible senior notes due 2028 (the "3.75% Convertible Notes") are based on the median price of the notes in an active market. See Note 14 for more information about our convertible notes.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no material nonfinancial asset and liability fair value adjustments.
- Construction Joint Ventures
We participate in various construction joint ventures. We have determined that certain of these joint ventures are consolidated because they are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and we are the primary beneficiary. We continually evaluate whether there are changes in the status of the VIEs or changes to the primary beneficiary designation of the VIE. Based on our assessments during the three months ended March 31, 2025, we determined no change was required for existing joint ventures.
Due to the joint and several nature of the performance obligations under the related owner contracts, if any of our partners fail to perform, we and the remaining partners, if any, would be responsible for performance of the outstanding work (i.e., we provide a performance guarantee). We are not able to estimate amounts that may be required beyond the current remaining forecasted cost of the work to be performed. These forecasted costs could be offset by billings to the customer or by proceeds from our partners’ corporate and/or other guarantees. See Note 13 for disclosure of the performance guarantee amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Consolidated Construction Joint Ventures (“CCJVs”)
As of March 31, 2025, we were engaged innine active CCJV projects. Our proportionate share of the equity in these joint ventures was between 50.0% and 70.0%.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, CCJVs provided $59.6 million and $5.8 million of operating cash flows, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, our share of revenue remaining to be recognized on these CCJVs was $369.2 million and ranged from $1.1 million to $188.9 million by project.
Unconsolidated Construction Joint Ventures
As of March 31, 2025, we were engaged inthree active unconsolidated construction joint venture projects. Our proportionate share of the equity in these unconsolidated construction joint ventures ranged from 30.0% to 50.0%.

In June 2022, we entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") which matures on June 2, 2027. The Credit Agreement consists of a $350.0 million senior secured, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), including an accordion feature allowing us to increase borrowings up to the greater of (a) $200.0 million and (b)100% of twelve-month trailing consolidated EBITDA, subject to lender approval. The Credit Agreement includes a $150.0 million sublimit for letters of credit ($75.0 million for financial letters of credit) and a $20.0 million sublimit for swingline loans.
We may borrow on the Revolver, at our option, at either (a) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) term rate plus a credit adjustment spread plus applicable margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.0%, or (b) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from zero to 1.0%. The applicable margin is based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in our Credit Agreement), calculated quarterly. As of March 31, 2025, the total unused availability under the Credit Agreement was $330.4 million, resulting from $19.6 million in issued and outstanding letters of credit andno amount drawn under the Revolver. The letters of credit had expiration dates between June 2025 and November 2025.
3.25% Convertible Notes
On June 11, 2024, we issued $373.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.25% Convertible Notes. The 3.25% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2024. The 3.25% Convertible Notes mature on June 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2029, the 3.25% Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods. Thereafter, the 3.25% Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding their maturity date.
The 3.25% Convertible Notes have an initial conversion rate of 12.8398 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $77.88 per share of our common stock, subject to adjustment if certain events occur. Upon conversion, we will settle the principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes in cash, and any conversion premium in excess of the principal amount in cash, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.
In addition, upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the 3.25% Convertible Notes, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 3.25% Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. If certain corporate events that constitute a “make-whole fundamental change” as set forth in the indenture governing the 3.25% Convertible Notes occur prior to the maturity date of the 3.25% Convertible Notes or if we deliver a notice of redemption, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 3.25% Convertible Notes in connection with such event or notice of redemption.
We will not be able to redeem the 3.25% Convertible Notes prior to June 21, 2027. On or after June 21, 2027, we will be able to redeem for cash all or any portion of the 3.25% Convertible Notes, at our option, if the last reported sale price of Granite’s common stock is equal to or greater than 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The indenture governing the 3.25% Convertible Notes contains customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to us or our significant subsidiaries, all outstanding 3.25% Convertible Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes then outstanding may declare the 3.25% Convertible Notes due and payable immediately.
2024 Capped Call Transactions
In June 2024, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions in connection with the offering of the 3.25% Convertible Notes (the "2024 capped call transactions"). The 2024 capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the 3.25% Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 3.25% Convertible Notes, as the case may be. If, however, the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the 2024 capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of $119.82 of the 2024 capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the 2024 capped call transactions.
3.75% Convertible Notes
On May 11, 2023, we issued $373.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75% Convertible Notes. The 3.75% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2023 and mature on May 15, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 15, 2027, the 3.75% Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods. Thereafter, the 3.75% Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.
The initial conversion rate applicable to the 3.75% Convertible Notes is 21.6807 shares of Granite common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $46.12 per share of Granite common stock, subject to adjustment if certain events occur. Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Granite common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Granite common stock, at our election. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the 3.75% Convertible Notes, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 3.75% Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. If certain corporate events that constitute a “make-whole fundamental change” as set forth in the indenture governing the 3.75% Convertible Notes occur prior to the maturity date of the 3.75% Convertible Notes or if we deliver a notice of redemption, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 3.75% Convertible Notes in connection with such event or notice of redemption.
We will not be able to redeem the 3.75% Convertible Notes prior to May 20, 2026. On or after May 20, 2026, we have the option to redeem for cash all or any portion of the 3.75% Convertible Notes if the last reported sale price of our common stock is equal to or greater than 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The indenture governing the 3.75% Convertible Notes contains customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to us or our significant subsidiaries, all outstanding 3.75% Convertible Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes then outstanding may declare the 3.75% Convertible Notes due and payable immediately.
2023 Capped Call Transactions
In May 2023, we entered into capped call transactions (the "2023 capped call transactions") in connection with the offering of the 3.75% Convertible Notes. The 2023 capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 3.75% Convertible Notes, as the case may be. If, however, the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the 2023 capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of $79.83 of the 2023 capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the 2023 capped call transactions.
Covenants and Events of Default
Our Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various affirmative, restrictive and financial covenants, including the financial covenants described below. Our failure to comply with these covenants would constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement. Additionally, the 3.25% Convertible Notes and 3.75% Convertible Notes are governed by the terms and conditions of their respective indentures. Our failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts when due or within the relevant grace period on our 3.25% Convertible Notes, our 3.75% Convertible Notes or our Credit Agreement would constitute an event of default under the 3.25% Convertible Notes indenture, the 3.75% Convertible Notes indenture or the Credit Agreement. A default under our Credit Agreement could result in (i) us no longer being entitled to borrow under such facility; (ii) termination of such facility; (iii) the requirement that any letters of credit under such facility be cash collateralized; (iv) acceleration of amounts owed under the Credit Agreement; and/or (v) foreclosure on any collateral securing the obligations under such facility. A default under the 3.25% Convertible Notes indenture or the 3.75% Convertible Notes indenture could result in acceleration of the maturity of the notes.
The most significant financial covenants under the terms of our Credit Agreement require the maintenance of a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. We are not aware of any non-compliance by any of our unconsolidated real estate ventures with the covenants contained in their debt agreements.
Debt Issuance Costs
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of amortization related to debt issuance costs.
- Weighted Average Shares Outstanding and Net Loss Per Share
The following table presents a reconciliation of the weighted average shares of common stock used in calculating basic and diluted net loss per share as well as the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands, except per share amounts) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Numerator | ||
| Net loss attributable to common shareholders | $(33,656) | $(30,983) |
| Denominator | ||
| Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic | 43,463 | 43,988 |
| Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted | 43,463 | 43,988 |
| Net loss per share, basic | $(0.77) | $(0.70) |
| Net loss per share, diluted | $(0.77) | $(0.70) |
Due to net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, both the unvested RSUs representing 585,000 and 573,000 shares, respectively, and the potential dilution from the convertible notes converting into 8,427,000 and 9,099,000 shares, respectively, of common stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. In connection with the issuance of the 3.25% Convertible Notes and 3.75% Convertible Notes, we entered into the 2024 capped call transactions and 2023 capped call transactions, respectively, which were not included for purposes of calculating the number of diluted shares outstanding, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
- Income Taxes
The following table presents the benefit from income taxes for the respective periods:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (dollars in thousands) | 2025 | 2024 |
| Benefit from income taxes | $(11,756) | $(9,526) |
| Effective tax rate | 29.3% | 24.4% |
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is higher than the prior period because of an increase in the estimated annual effective tax rate combined with an increase in year-to-date discrete benefit associated with lapsed RSU awards. The estimated annual effective tax rate is higher than the prior period primarily due to changes in the estimated state tax liability and equity earnings of subsidiaries.
- Contingencies - Legal Proceedings
Liabilities relating to legal proceedings and government inquiries, to the extent that we have concluded such liabilities are probable and the amounts of such liabilities are reasonably estimable, are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Disclosure is required when a material loss is probable but not reasonably estimable, a material loss is reasonably possible but not probable, or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed the amount recorded. The total liabilities recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for legal proceedings and government inquiries were immaterial as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
It is possible that future developments in our legal proceedings and inquiries could require us to (i) adjust or reverse existing accruals, or (ii) record new accruals that we did not originally believe to be probable or that could not be reasonably estimated. Such changes could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
Ordinary Course Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, we and our affiliates are involved in various legal proceedings alleging, among other things, liability issues or breach of contract or tortious conduct in connection with the performance of services and/or materials provided, the various outcomes of which often cannot be predicted with certainty. For information on our accounting policies regarding affirmative claims and back charges that we are party to in the ordinary course of business, see Note 1 of our Annual Report. We and our affiliates are also subject to government inquiries in the ordinary course of business seeking information concerning our compliance with government construction contracting requirements and various laws and regulations, the outcomes which often cannot be predicted with certainty.
Some of the matters in which we or our joint ventures and affiliates are involved may involve compensatory, punitive, or other claims or sanctions that, if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that are not probable to be incurred or cannot currently be reasonably estimated. In addition, in some circumstances our government contracts could be terminated, we could be suspended, debarred or incur other administrative penalties or sanctions, or payment of our costs could be disallowed. While any of our pending legal proceedings may be subject to early resolution as a result of our ongoing efforts to resolve the proceedings, whether or when any legal proceeding will be resolved is neither predictable nor guaranteed.
- Reportable Segment Information
We manage our operations undertwo reportable segments, Construction and Materials, which are distinguished by differences in business activities. Our reportable segments are the same as our operating segments and correspond with how our chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group (our “CODM”) regularly reviews financial information to allocate resources and assess performance. We identified our CODM as our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operating Officer.
Our CODM evaluates segment performance and makes business decisions based on operating income, which excludes non-operating income or expense. Segment assets include property and equipment, intangibles, goodwill, inventory and equity in construction joint ventures.
Summarized segment information is as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | Construction | Materials | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total revenue from reportable segments | $614,618 | $105,580 | $720,198 |
