Granite Construction (NYSE: GVA) reported Q2 EPS of $0.43, $0.38 worse than the analyst estimate of $0.81. Revenue for the quarter came in at $807.1 million versus the consensus estimate of $897.7 million.

“After producing the best first-half revenue performance in our Company’s history and with adjusted EBITDA nearly tripling year-over-year through June, Granite teams remain focused on consistent execution, process improvement, and steady, strategic growth,” said Granite President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) James H. Roberts. “Following the successful completion of two acquisitions in the second quarter, we greatly appreciate the support that our employees and shareholders provided in the execution of our strategic plan. We are quite pleased to expand Granite’s platforms for growth in this opportunistic environment.

“These strategic moves extend our reach, as we execute our strategy to diversify and grow across geographies in our core infrastructure markets, inclusive of the water, wastewater, and mining markets,” Roberts said. “State- and local-led program expansions, coupled with growing federal government investment, and continued private-sector strength are fueling the healthiest market conditions we have experienced in more than a decade. We are particularly encouraged that our core business continues to deliver on project pursuits as well as day-to-day execution. Following the close of the second quarter, we received notification of project wins that are not yet included in our backlog. These four project wins across four operating groups total more than $875 million, with these projects expected to enter our backlog in the second half of 2018 and early 2019.”
