Combined revenue including discontinued operations decreased 1.7% in 2021 to $3.5 billion, compared to $3.6 billion in the prior year. Gross profit from continuing operations increased 0.3% in 2021 to $305.6 million, compared to $304.7 million in the prior year. Selling, general & administrative ("SG&A") expenses from continuing operations in 2021 were $243.1 million or 8.1% of revenue, compared to $252.9 million or 8.1% of revenue in the prior year. Combined SG&A expenses including discontinued operations in 2021 were $303.0 million or 8.7% of revenue, compared to $316.3 million or 8.9% of revenue in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA(2) from continuing operations totaled $163.4 million in 2021, compared to $153.0 million in the prior year.

Committed and Award Projects ("CAP") (1) totaled $4.0 billion, slightly down sequentially from the third quarter of 2021 and flat year-over-year. Cash and marketable securities decreased ($19.3) million in 2021 to $411.2 million, compared to $430.5 million in the prior year, while debt remained relatively unchanged compared to the prior year."Three weeks ago, we announced the planned divestiture of our Water and Minerals Services Group, the change of our segments and the reorganization of our operational groups," said Kyle Larkin, Granite President and Chief Executive Officer. "In the past year, we have assembled a new executive team, exited the Northeast market, and transformed the quality of our CAP by securing additional best value procurement projects and by decreasing exposure to design build risks. We also strengthened our cash and liquidity position as we refocus our efforts on our civil construction and materials business.
"Our fourth quarter of 2021 was challenged as we worked through our Old Risk Portfolio (‘ORP’) (5) and inclement weather when compared to the prior year, particularly in the West. We continue to focus our efforts on project execution as we burn through the remaining ORP and direct our attention to transforming the Central Group. We are excited about the future as we unfold our new strategic plan. We believe that our CAP going into 2022 reflects the strength of our vertically integrated civil construction business and aligns with our new project selection criteria. At the same time, our cash and liquidity continues to be a strength and provides us flexibility to reinvest in our construction and materials businesses while returning value to shareholders as we begin Granite's next 100 years."

Construction revenue in the fourth quarter decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to the impact of inclement weather in California contrasted with a mostly dry fourth quarter of 2020 and combined with a decrease in revenue driven by the continued transformation of the Central group portfolio. Fourth quarter gross profit decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to lower revenue, the impact of project mix year over year, and project execution. In the fourth quarter, the ORP revenue totaled $65.9 million with a gross loss of ($24.8) million or a loss of ($15.6) million, net of non-controlling interest ("NCI"), compared to ORP revenue of $102.9 million with a gross loss of ($25.0) million or a loss of ($19.0) million, net of NCI for the same period last year.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, construction revenue decreased compared to last year due primarily to an extended competitive bidding environment in 2021, weather impacts in the fourth quarter in the California group and a decrease in revenue in the Central group. Gross profit increased primarily as a result of less ORP losses in the current year partially offset by reduced gross profit from lower revenue and project execution. In fiscal year 2021, the ORP revenue totaled $385.2 million with a gross loss of ($33.4) million or a net loss of ($16.0) million, net of NCI, compared to ORP revenue of $409.7 million with a gross loss of ($105.0) million or a net loss of ($80.6) million, net of NCI, for the same period last year.
CAP decreased slightly compared to the same period last year primarily due to continued progression of ORP projects within the Central group despite increases in Mountain and California group CAP.

Materials revenue for the fourth quarter decreased compared to the same period last year primarily due to lower aggregate and asphalt volumes in the California group because of wet weather. Materials gross profit in the fourth quarter decreased due to lower volumes in California combined with higher fuel and liquid asphalt costs compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.
For fiscal year 2021, materials revenue increased compared to the same period last year from higher sales volumes driven by mostly dry weather in the first three quarters of the year. For fiscal year 2021, gross profit decreased compared to the same period last year driven by higher fuel and liquid asphalt costs compared to 2020.
Outlook and Guidance
The Company's expectations for 2022 are:
Low single digit growth in revenue from continuing operations Adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations in the range of 6% to 8% SG&A Expense from continuing operations in the range of 8.0% to 8.5% of revenue Low to mid-20s effective tax rate range for continuing operations Capital expenditures in the range of $100 million to $115 million"We begin 2022 as a changed company from a year ago, but we still have work to do," said Kyle Larkin. "While we expect to grow revenue in the California and Mountain groups, that growth will be offset by lower revenue in the Central group as we transform that business and work through the ORP. We have made significant progress as we burn through the ORP with the majority of those projects to be completed in 2022. While the Central group revenue is expected to decline, during the year we anticipate growing CAP while strengthening our home markets in alignment with our new strategic plan. We expect our profitability to increase with an adjusted EBITDA margin range from continuing operations of 6% to 8%. The changes we have made to transform our organization by driving efficiency and improved project execution will benefit us in 2022 and will continue into 2023 and beyond."

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The tables below contain financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Specifically, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures such as EBITDA from continuing operations, EBITDA from discontinued operations and combined EBITDA and EBITDA margin from continuing operations, EBITDA margin from discontinued operations and combined EBITDA margin are useful in evaluating operating performance and are regularly used by securities analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties, and that such supplemental measures facilitate comparisons between companies that have different capital and financing structures and/or tax rates. We are also providing adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations and combined adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA margin from discontinued operations and combined adjusted EBITDA margin non-GAAP measures to indicate the impact of:
Other costs which include a legal settlement charge, legal and accounting investigation fees, divestiture expenses and restructuring charges; Non-cash impairments related to goodwill and investments in affiliates in 2020; and Gains on sales of property.We provide adjusted income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes from continuing operations, adjusted provision for (benefit from) income taxes, adjusted net income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated, adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated, adjusted net income attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated, adjusted diluted weighted average shares of common stock, and adjusted diluted net income per share attributable to common shareholders, non-GAAP measures, to indicate the impact of the following:
Other costs which include a legal settlement charge, legal and accounting investigation fees, divestiture expenses and restructuring charges; Non-cash impairments related to goodwill and investments in affiliates in 2020; Gains on sales of property; Transaction costs which includes acquired intangible amortization expenses and acquisition related depreciation related to the acquisition of Layne and LiquiForce; Amortization of debt discount related to our 2.75% Convertible Notes; and The impact of the purchased equity derivative instrument which offsets any potential-dilution from the 2.75% Convertible Notes above the $31.47 conversion price up to a share price of $53.44.Management believes that these additional non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons between industry peer companies and management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company's performance. However, the reader is cautioned that any non-GAAP financial measures provided by the Company are provided in addition to, and not as alternatives for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Items that may have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows must be considered when assessing the Company's actual financial condition and performance regardless of whether these items are included in non-GAAP financial measures. The methods used by the Company to calculate its non-GAAP financial measures may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, any non-GAAP financial measures provided by the Company may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measure of net income (loss) attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated because the timing and amount of the excluded items are unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate.

(1) We define EBITDA from continuing operations as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated from continuing operations, adjusted for net interest expense, taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization. We defined EBITDA from discontinued operations as net income (loss) from discontinued operations adjusted for net interest expense, taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations, discontinued operations, and combined exclude the impact of other costs, non-cash impairment charges and gain on sale of property as described above.
(2) Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense previously reported for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020 included expenses of $2.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively, of amortization related to the 2.75% Convertible Notes which were also included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020 have been adjusted to remove this interest expense.
(3) Represents EBITDA or adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue for the respective period. For EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations, revenue from continuing operations was $683.2 million and $830.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $3.0 billion and $3.1 billion for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin from discontinued operations, revenue from discontinued operations was $122.5 million and $115.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $491.8 million and $433.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For consolidated EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, consolidated revenue was $805.7 million and $945.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $3.5 billion and $3.6 billion for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(1) The tax effect of adjusting items was calculated using the Company’s statutory tax rate.
(2) Represents the dilutive effect on adjusted net income attributable to Granite Construction Incorporated for the year ended December 31, 2021 of 533,000 shares related to restricted stock units and 1,279,000 shares related to the 2.75% Convertible Notes potentially converting into shares.
(3) When calculating diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common shareholders, U.S. GAAP requires that we include potential share dilution from the 2.75% Convertible Notes when our average share price during the period is above the conversion price of $31.47. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2021, our average share price was above the conversion price resulting in accounting dilution under U.S. GAAP of 1.4 million and 1.3 million shares, respectively. For the purposes of calculating adjusted diluted net income per share attributable to common shareholders, the dilutive effect from the 2.75% Convertible Notes is removed to reflect the impact of the purchased equity derivative instrument which offsets any potential share dilution from the 2.75% Convertible Notes above the $31.47 conversion price up to a share price of $53.44. The number of shares used in calculating diluted net income per share for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020 excluded the potential dilution from the 2.75% Convertible Notes converting into shares of common stock as the average price of our common stock was below $31.47 per share for those periods. The average share price did not exceed $53.44 in any period.
