Granite CEOKyle Larkinsays: “This quarter, we made progress by working through the challenging ORP projects in the Heavy Civil Operating Group and by growing high-quality CAP in our vertically-integrated California and Northwest Operating Groups. There is more work to do with the ORP, and we remain focused on project execution across our business. Opportunities in our markets are robust, cash and liquidity remain a strength, and I am confident we are positioning the company to continue on its path for improved financial performance.”
