Acquisitions

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2024

On April 24, 2023, we acquired Coast Mountain Resources (2020) Ltd. which changed its name to Granite Infrastructure Canada, Ltd. ("Granite Canada") on May 13, 2024. Granite Canada is a construction aggregate producer based in British

Columbia, Canada operating on Malahat First Nation land. Granite Canada results are reported in the Materials segment. This acquisition did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

On November 30, 2023 (“acquisition date”), we completed the acquisition of LRC/MSG for $278.0 million, subject to customary closing adjustments, plus an estimated amount related to tax make-whole agreements with the seller. We purchased all of the outstanding equity interests in LRC/MSG and the purchase price was funded by a $150.0 million senior secured term loan, a draw of $100 million under our existing revolver and the remainder from cash on hand. Both the senior secured term loan and the draw under the revolver were fully repaid during the the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The acquired businesses are longstanding asphalt paving and asphalt and aggregates producers and suppliers. LRC/MSG operates strategically located asphalt plants and sand and gravel mines serving the greater Memphis area and northern Mississippi.

The buyer of LRC/MSG, Granite Southeast, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Construction Incorporated, and its results have been included in the Construction and Materials segments since the acquisition date. LRC/MSG’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”).

Revenue attributable to LRC/MSG for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $45.5 million and $59.5 million, respectively. Gross profit (loss) attributable to LRC/MSG for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was a profit of $7.9 million and a loss of $0.7 million, respectively.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

In accordance with ASC 805, the total purchase price and assumed liabilities were allocated to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, as presented in the table below. These estimates are subject to revision, which may result in adjustments to the values presented below.

We recorded a $22.0 million provisional estimate related to tax make-whole agreements with the seller at the time of the acquisition. In the second quarter of 2024, the former owners of LRC/MSG determined their personal tax burden related to the sale of the businesses which allowed us to finalize our tax make-whole obligation. Our obligation was $7.1 million, which was paid in June 2024.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we made measurement period adjustments to reflect facts and circumstances in existence as of the acquisition date. These adjustments included a $4.6 million net increase from net working capital adjustments and a $2.2 million net decrease in the value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, offset by a $14.9 million decrease in the estimated obligation associated with the tax make-whole agreements noted above. The impact of these adjustments was a decrease in goodwill of $8.1 million. We paid $13.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 associated with the acquisition of LRC/MSG, which includes $6.1 million for working capital adjustments and $7.1 million for the tax make-whole obligation.

As we continue to integrate the acquired business, we may obtain additional information on the acquired identifiable intangible assets which, if significant, may require revisions to preliminary valuation assumptions, estimates and resulting fair values. We expect to finalize these amounts within 12 months from the acquisition date.
