PER CURIAM.

2

After a bench trial on its counterclaim, Appellant Gray Construction & Associates, Inc. appeals the final judgment finding that it did not prove breach of contract. We affirm as the record does not establish that the Appellees breached the contract. See Haas Automation, Inc. v. Fox, 243 So. 3d 1017, 1023 (Fla. 3d DCA 2018) (“We review a judgment rendered after a bench trial to ensure that the trial court’s findings of fact are supported by competent, substantial evidence.”); Underwater Eng’g Servs., Inc. v. Util. Bd. of City of Key W., 194 So. 3d 437, 444 (Fla. 3d DCA 2016) (“Even if a trial court’s judgment is insufficient in its findings of fact, the judgment should be affirmed if the record as a whole discloses any reasonable basis, reason or ground on which the judgment can be supported.”) (internal quotations omitted). Accord Garcia v. Carter Const. Co., 794 So. 2d 723, 724 n.1 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001) (“Where . . . the trial court makes no findings of fact, the appellate court must determine whether, based on the record, the proper analysis would have produced the result reached by the trial court.”) (internal quotations omitted).
