Granite Revenue Surges 23 Percent as Backlog Hits Record $7.5 Billion in Third Quarter

Granite Construction Incorporated reported a 23 percent year-over-year increase in revenue for the third quarter, reaching $1.77 billion as elevated levels of public sector infrastructure spending continued to drive project activity across major regional markets.

The civil engineering and construction company also achieved a record high committed backlog of $7.5 billion during the period. The expansion in total future contracted workload reflects robust bidding activity and strong market demand for transportation infrastructure, water resources management, and municipal civil works.

The third-quarter revenue figure represents a substantial gain from the $1.44 billion recorded during the same period in the prior year. Operational growth was supported by accelerated project execution across active job sites, alongside stable output volumes within the company's aggregate and materials business segment.

Increased capital allocations from federal funding mechanisms, including multi-year highway legislation, along with state-level transportation initiatives, have continued to provide steady bidding opportunities for contractors. Municipalities and regional transit authorities have maintained consistent project schedules to deploy allocated funding.

Company management noted that solid demand across both its Mountain and California operating units contributed significantly to overall revenue gains and backlog expansion during the quarterly period.

Based in Watsonville, California, Granite operates nationwide as a major civil contractor and construction materials producer. The company's portfolio includes heavy civil construction for roads, bridges, airport runways, mass transit systems, and specialized utility infrastructure projects for both public agencies and private sector clients.
