Revenue for the quarter totaled $302.2 million, an increase of 12.3% over the same period in 2002, including revenue from the newly consolidated Wilder Construction Company (Wilder), which became a majority-owned subsidiary on April 30, 2002. Non-operating income for the quarter was $18.0 million compared to $0.9 million for the same quarter in 2002. Included in non-operating income is $18.4 million related to the sale of the State Route 91 Tollroad Franchise by the California Private Transportation Corporation, of which Granite is a 22.2% limited partner. Granite completed construction of the $60.4 million project in 1995 and has maintained an equity interest in the limited partnership since its inception.
