See Appendix to this earnings release for a reconciliation to net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Martin Marietta.}

Ward Nye, Chairman and CEO of Martin Marietta, stated, “Martin Marietta experienced a series of factors in the second quarter impacting product shipments. Historic precipitation in Texas and in parts of the Midwest, together with ongoing restrictive monetary policy, curtailed volumes for the three-month period. While we view these circumstances as temporary, they nonetheless negatively impacted our financial results. Yet, despite these interim challenges, we made substantial progress during the period. Specifically, Martin Marietta concluded the first half of 2024 with record aggregates profitability and the best safety performance in our Company's history. Equally, in the second quarter we expanded our Adjusted EBITDA margin and increased aggregates gross profit per ton by 9 percent despite shipments that were notably encumbered by April and May's historically wet weather. These results demonstrate the resiliency of our aggregates-led business and our steadfast focus on what we can control. The quarter was also highlighted by the April 5^th acquisition and subsequent integration of the Blue Water Industries operations. This pure-play aggregates acquisition not only strengthens the durability of our business and enhances our margin profile, but also expands our advantaged nationwide presence into attractive SOAR 2025 target markets including Tennessee and South Florida.

"Putting the quarter in broader perspective, recent macroeconomic data indicates that the typical lag effects of restrictive monetary policy are slowing product demand in the interest-rate-sensitive private construction sector. Consequently, we lowered our 2024 full-year Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $2.2 billion at the midpoint. That said, we fully expect this rate-driven private construction softness will be relatively short-lived as (i) single-family housing remains fundamentally underbuilt; and (ii) recent inflation and employment data should provide support for more accommodative monetary conditions beginning in September."

Mr. Nye concluded, "Over the longer time frame, stakeholders should continue to expect Martin Marietta to build upon our foundation that has proven successful - an aggregates-led growth platform focused on the nation's most vibrant markets, disciplined execution of our strategic plan and an unwavering commitment to employee safety and commercial and operational excellence. Together with our unrivaled attractive growth opportunities, these core foundational elements provide us confidence in our ability to responsibly navigate through macroeconomic cycles and continue driving superior shareholder value."

Second-Quarter Financial and Operating Results

(All financial and operating results are for continuing operations and comparisons are versus the prior-year second quarter, unless otherwise noted)

Building Materials Business

The Building Materials business generated revenues of $1.7 billion, a 3 percent decrease. Gross profit decreased 7 percent to $501 million.

Aggregates

Second-quarter aggregates shipments decreased 2.8 percent to 53.0 million tons. Shipments from acquired operations were more than offset by poor weather, most notably in Texas and the Central Division, and softening warehouse, office and residential demand. Average selling price (ASP) increased 11.6 percent to $21.61 per ton, or 12.0 percent on an organic mix-adjusted basis.

Aggregates gross profit increased 6 percent to $392 million, as contributions from acquired operations and organic pricing growth more than offset lower shipments. Notably, aggregates gross profit per ton increased 9 percent to a second-quarter record of $7.41 notwithstanding weather-driven inefficiencies negatively impacting operating leverage and the $20 million (or $0.37 per ton) headwind of selling acquired inventory after its markup to fair value as part of acquisition accounting.

Cement and Downstream Businesses

Cement and ready mixed concrete revenues decreased 37 percent to $261 million and gross profit decreased 44 percent to $72 million compared with the prior-year quarter, primarily due to the February 2024 divestiture of the South Texas cement plant and related concrete operations, as well as extremely wet weather in Texas.

Asphalt and paving revenues and gross profit increased modestly to $245 million and $37 million, respectively, both second-quarter records.

Magnesia Specialties Business

Magnesia Specialties revenues of $81 million were in line with the prior-year quarter, as strong pricing offset lower chemical and lime shipments; gross profit decreased 2 percent to $27 million due to higher regularly scheduled maintenance costs.

Portfolio Optimization

On April 5, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of 20 active aggregates operations in Alabama, South Carolina, South Florida, Tennessee and Virginia from Blue Water Industries LLC (BWI Southeast) for $2.05 billion in cash.

Cash Generation, Capital Allocation and Liquidity

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $173 million compared with $519 million for the prior-year period, reflecting the significant impact of higher income tax payments resulting from the taxable gain associated with the February 2024 divestiture of the South Texas cement business and certain related ready mixed concrete operations.

Cash paid for property, plant and equipment additions for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was $339 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company returned $542 million to shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases. As of June 30, 2024, 11.9 million shares remained under the current repurchase authorization.

The Company had $109 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand and $1.2 billion of unused borrowing capacity on its existing credit facilities as of June 30, 2024.

Revised Full-Year 2024 Guidance

The Company’s 2024 revised guidance below includes the BWI Southeast acquisition as of its closing date. The guidance below for net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Martin Marietta and aggregates gross profit is burdened with a $20 million purchase accounting impact for the fair market value write-up of inventory related to the BWI Southeast acquisition, which was fully realized in the second quarter.

the performance of the United States economy; increasing governmental regulation, including environmental laws and climate change regulations at the federal and state levels; transportation availability or a sustained reduction in capital investment by the railroads, notably the availability of railcars, locomotive power and the condition of rail infrastructure to move trains to supply the Company’s Texas, Colorado, Florida, Carolinas and the Gulf Coast markets, including the movement of essential dolomitic lime for magnesia chemicals to the Company’s plant in Manistee, Michigan and its customers; increased transportation costs, including increases from higher or fluctuating passed-through energy costs or fuel surcharges, and other costs to comply with tightening regulations, as well as higher volumes of rail and water shipments; availability of trucks and licensed drivers for transport of the Company’s materials; availability and cost of construction equipment in the United States; weakening in the steel industry markets served by the Company’s dolomitic lime products; potential impact on costs, supply chain, oil and gas prices, or other matters relating to the war between Russia and Ukraine, the war in Israel and related conflict in the Middle East and the conflict between China and Taiwan; trade disputes with one or more nations impacting the U.S. economy, including the impact of tariffs on the steel industry; unplanned changes in costs or realignment of customers that introduce volatility to earnings, including that of the Magnesia Specialties business; proper functioning of information technology and automated operating systems to manage or support operations; inflation and its effect on both production and interest costs; the concentration of customers in construction markets and the increased risk of potential losses on customer receivables; the impact of the level of demand in the Company’s end-use markets, production levels and management of production costs on the operating leverage and therefore profitability of the Company; the possibility that the expected synergies from acquisitions will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period, including achieving anticipated profitability to maintain compliance with the Company’s leverage ratio debt covenant; the strategic benefits, outlook, performance and opportunities expected as a result of acquisitions and portfolio optimization; changes in tax laws, the interpretation of such laws and/or administrative practices, including acquisitions or divestitures, that would increase the Company’s tax rate;

Mix-adjusted average selling price (mix-adjusted ASP) is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of period-over-period product, geographic and other mix on the average selling price. Mix-adjusted ASP is calculated by comparing current-period shipments to like-for-like shipments in the comparable prior period. Management uses this metric to evaluate the realization of pricing increases and believes this information is useful to investors. The following reconciles reported average selling price to mix-adjusted ASP and corresponding variances.
