Eagle Materials Inc. and Subsidiaries
N
otes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 include the accounts of Eagle Materials Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company, us, or we) and have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2020.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information in the following unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We have been deemed an essential business with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic. While we have not yet experienced a material impact on our operations or financial position from this pandemic, there may be future effects on our business, both directly and indirectly, including with respect to customers, manufacturing operations, employees, suppliers, and the building materials and construction markets in general.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

RECENTLY ADOPTED

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which is an update on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, which requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than the current model of incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including Accounts and Notes Receivable. The application of the forward-looking model may result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses than the current method. The adoption of this standard on April 1, 2020, did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

PENDING ADOPTION

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within existing income tax guidance, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. The updated standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard will have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

(C) ACQUISITION

Kosmos Acquisition

On March 6, 2020, we acquired the assets of Kosmos Cement Company (Kosmos), a joint venture between CEMEX S.A.B. de C.V. and Buzzi Unicem S.p.A. (the Kosmos Acquisition). The Kosmos Acquisition included (i) a cement plant located in Louisville, Kentucky, (ii) a limestone quarry located in Battletown, Kentucky, (iii) cement distribution terminals located in Indianapolis, Indiana; Cincinnati, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Charleston, West Virginia; Ceredo, West Virginia; Mt. Vernon, Indiana; and Lexington, Kentucky, and (iv) certain other properties and assets used by Kosmos in connection with the foregoing (collectively, the Kosmos Business). We assumed certain liabilities and obligations of Kosmos relating to the Kosmos Business, including contractual obligations, reclamation obligations and various other liabilities arising out of or relating to the Kosmos Business. The Kosmos Business is included in our Heavy Materials Sector, in the Cement segment.

Purchase Price: The purchase price of the Kosmos Acquisition was approximately $669 million. We funded the payment of the Kosmos Acquisition primarily through a Term Loan borrowing with the remainder paid using cash on hand. See Footnote (N) for a description of the loan terms.

Recording of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed: The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company engaged a third party to perform appraisal valuation services to support the Company’s preliminary estimate of the fair value of certain assets acquired in the Kosmos Acquisition.

The preparation of the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Kosmos Acquisition requires the use of significant assumptions and estimates. Critical estimates with respect to the valuation of property, plant, and equipment include, but are not limited to, replacement cost, condition, and estimated remaining useful lives of property and equipment. Critical estimates related to intangible and other assets include future expected cash flows, including projected revenues and expenses, customer attrition, and applicable discount rates. These estimates are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. However, actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company has determined preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Kosmos Acquisition. These values are subject to change during the measurement period as we perform additional reviews of the property and equipment, and the asset retirement obligation.

These final values, which are disclosed in the above table, resulted in increases of $0.2 million, $2.8 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, from the amounts disclosed in our fiscal 2020 Form 10-K. We also revised our estimates for property, plant and equipment, which resulted in a reduction of $0.5 million; however, this value is still preliminary.

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Goodwill was generated by the availability of co-product sales and the opportunity associated with the expansion of our Cement business to the eastern region of the United States. All of the goodwill generated by the transaction will be deductible for income tax purposes.

The unaudited pro forma results presented below include the effects of the Kosmos Acquisition as if it had been consummated as of April 1, 2019. The pro forma results include estimates for depreciation from the fair value adjustments to acquired Property and Equipment, amortization for acquired Intangible Assets, the Inventory step-up to fair value, and interest expense associated with debt used to fund the Kosmos Acquisition. To better reflect the combined operating results, approximately $5.6 million of material nonrecurring charges directly related to the Kosmos Acquisition have been excluded from pro forma Net Income.

(D) SALE OF BUSINESSES

On April 17, 2020, we sold our Western Aggregates LLC (Western) and Mathews Readymix LLC (Mathews) businesses to Teichert, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $93.5 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. This sale resulted in a gain of approximately $52.0 million. Western and Mathews were part of our Concrete and Aggregates operating segment, and their results of operations were included in our financial statements for the period from April 1, 2020 through April 17, 2020.  

At the date of sale, assets and liabilities included on our balance sheet related to Western and Mathews were approximately $43.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Revenue and Operating Earnings from Western and Mathews, collectively, were approximately $1.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, and $7.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

(E) REVENUE

We earn Revenue primarily from the sale of products, which include cement, concrete, aggregates, gypsum wallboard, recycled paperboard, and frac sand. The vast majority of Revenue from the sale of cement, concrete, aggregates, and gypsum wallboard are originated by purchase orders from our customers, who are primarily third-party contractors and suppliers. Revenue from our Recycled Paperboard and Oil and Gas Proppants segments is generated primarily through long-term supply agreements that mature between 2020 and 2025. We invoice customers upon shipment, and our collection terms range from 30-65 days. Revenue from the sale of cement, concrete, aggregates, and gypsum wallboard that is not related to long-term supply agreements is recognized upon shipment of the related products to customers, which is when title and ownership are transferred, and the customer is obligated to pay.  

Revenue from sales under our long-term supply agreements is also recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which generally occurs at the time the product is shipped from the production facility or terminal location. Our long-term supply agreements with customers define, among other commitments, the volume of product that we must provide and the volume that the customer must purchase by the end of the defined periods. Pricing structures under our agreements are generally market-based but are subject to certain contractual adjustments. Historically, the pricing and volume requirements under certain of these contracts have been renegotiated during volatile market conditions. Shortfall amounts, if applicable under these arrangements, are

 

9


 

constrained and not recognized as Revenue until an agreement is reached with the customer and, therefore, are not subject to the risk of reversal. 

The Company offers certain of its customers, including those with long-term supply agreements, rebates and incentives, which we treat as variable consideration. We adjust the amount of Revenue recognized for the variable consideration using the most likely amount method based on past history and projected volumes in the rebate and incentive period. Any amounts billed to customers for taxes are excluded from Revenue.

The Company has elected to treat freight and delivery charges we pay for the delivery of goods to our customers as a fulfilment activity rather than a separate performance obligation. When we arrange for a third party to deliver products to customers, fees for shipping and handling that are billed to the customer are recorded as Revenue, while costs we incur for shipping and handling are recorded as expenses and included in Cost of Goods Sold.

Other Non-Operating Income includes lease and rental income, asset sale income, non-inventoried aggregates sales income, distribution center income, and trucking income, as well as other miscellaneous revenue items and costs that have not been allocated to a business segment.

See Footnote (O) to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for disaggregation of revenue by segment.

(F) ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

Accounts and Notes Receivable have been shown net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $9.9 million and $12.4 million at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally require no collateral from our customers. The allowance for non-collection of receivables is based upon analysis of economic trends in the construction industry, detailed analysis of the expected collectability of accounts receivable that are past due, and the expected collectability of overall receivables. We have no significant credit risk concentration among our diversified customer base.

We had Notes Receivable totaling approximately $9.7 million at June 30, 2020, of which approximately $0.7 million has been classified as current and presented with Accounts Receivable on the balance sheet. We lend funds to certain companies in the ordinary course of business, and the notes bear interest, on average, at 3.6%. Remaining unpaid amounts, plus accrued interest, mature in fiscal 2025 and 2026. The notes are collateralized by certain assets of the borrowers, namely property and equipment, and are generally payable monthly. We monitor the credit risk of each borrower by assessing the timeliness of payments, credit history, credit metrics, and our ongoing interactions with each borrower.

(G) INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost (including applicable material, labor, depreciation, and plant overhead) or net realizable value. Raw Materials and Materials-in-Progress include clinker, which is an intermediary product before it is ground into cement powder. Quantities of Raw Materials and Materials-in-Progress, Aggregates and coal inventories, are based on measured volumes, subject to estimation based on the size and location of the inventory piles, and converted to tonnage using standard inventory density factors.

(I) LEASES

We lease certain real estate, buildings, and equipment. Certain of these leases contain escalations of rent over the term of the lease, as well as options for us to extend the term of the lease at the end of the original term. These extensions range from periods of one year to twenty years. Our lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. In calculating the present value of future minimum lease payments, we use the rate implicit in the lease if it can be determined. Otherwise we use our incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement of the lease to determine the present value of the future minimum lease payments. Additionally, we lease certain equipment under short-term leases with initial terms of less than twelve months, which are not recorded on the balance sheet.

(J) Share-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION

On August 7, 2013, our stockholders approved the Eagle Materials Inc. Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the Plan), which increased the shares we are authorized to issue as awards by 3,000,000 (1,500,000 of which may be stock awards). Under the terms of the Plan, we can issue equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights to employees of the Company and members of the Board of Directors. Awards that were already outstanding prior to the approval of the Plan on August 7, 2013 remain outstanding. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors specifies the terms for grants of equity awards under the Plan.

Long-Term Compensation Plans

OPTIONS

In May 2020, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the granting to certain officers and key employees an aggregate of 96,476 performance vesting stock options that will be earned only if certain performance conditions are satisfied (the Fiscal 2021 Employee Performance Stock Option Grant). The performance criteria for the Fiscal 2021 Employee Performance Stock Option Grant is based upon the

 

12


 

achievement of certain levels of return on equity (as defined in the option agreements), ranging from 10.0% to 20.0%, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. All stock options will be earned if the return on equity is 20.0% or greater, and the percentage of shares earned will be reduced proportionately to approximately 66.7% if the return on equity is 10.0%. If the Company does not achieve a return on equity of at least 10.0%, all granted stock options will be forfeited. Following any such reduction, restrictions on the earned stock options will lapse and the earned options will vest ratably over four years, with the initial fourth vesting promptly following the determination date, and the remaining options vesting on March 31, 2022 through 2024. The stock options have a term of ten years from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee also approved the granting of 80,396 time-vesting stock options to the same officers and key employees, which vest ratably over four years (the Fiscal 2021 Employee Time-Vesting Stock Option Grant).

Stock option expense for all outstanding stock option awards totaled approximately $1.7 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At June 30, 2020, there was approximately $10.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.

RESTRICTED STOCK

In May 2020, the Compensation Committee approved the granting to certain officers and key employees an aggregate of 82,722 shares of performance vesting restricted stock that will be earned if certain performance conditions are satisfied (the Fiscal 2021 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award). The performance criteria for the Fiscal 2021 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award is based upon the achievement of certain levels of return on equity (as defined in the award agreement), ranging from 10.0% to 20.0%, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. All restricted shares will be earned if the return on equity is 20.0% or greater, and the percentage of shares earned will be reduced proportionately to approximately 66.7% if the return on equity is 10.0%. If the Company does not achieve a return on equity of at least 10.0%, all awards will be forfeited. Following any such reduction, restrictions on the earned shares will lapse ratably over four years, with the initial fourth lapsing promptly following the determination date, and the remaining restrictions lapsing on March 31, 2022 through 2024. The Compensation Committee also approved the granting of 68,936 shares of time-vesting restricted stock to the same officers and key employees, which vest ratably over four years (the Fiscal 2021 Employee Restricted Stock Time-Vesting Award). The Fiscal 2020 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award and the Fiscal 2021 Employee Restricted Stock Time-Vesting Award were valued at the closing price of the stock on the date of grant and are being expensed over a four-year period.

The fair value of restricted stock is based on the stock price at the date of grant.  The following table summarizes the activity for nonvested restricted shares during the three months ended June 30, 2020:

Expense related to restricted shares was approximately $3.0 million and $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At June 30, 2020, there was approximately $17.8 million of unearned compensation from restricted stock, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years.

The number of shares available for future grants of stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock under the Plan was 3,469,927 at June 30, 2020.

(L) PENSION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

We sponsor several defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans, which together cover substantially all our employees. Benefits paid under the defined benefit plans covering certain hourly employees are based on years of service and the employee’s qualifying compensation over the last few years of employment.

Income Taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. In addition to the amount of tax resulting from applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income, we will include, when appropriate, certain items treated as discrete events to arrive at an estimated overall tax amount. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately 25%, which was in line with the tax rate of 25% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the effective tax rate rose above the US Statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes and a discrete penalty that was recorded related to an uncertain tax position.

Credit Facility

We have a revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) that terminates on August 2, 2022. The borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility is $750.0 million until August 2, 2021, after which the aggregate borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility will be reduced to $665.0 million.  The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a swingline loan sublimit of $25.0 million.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s material subsidiaries.  The debt under the Revolving Credit Facility is not rated by ratings agencies.  At the Company’s option, principal amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to either (i) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) plus an agreed spread (ranging from 125 to 200 basis points for loans scheduled to mature in 2021 and from 150 to 250 basis points for loans scheduled to mature in 2022), which is established quarterly based on the Company's then Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility); or (ii) an Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility), which is the

 

15


 

highest of (a) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility), (b) the NYFRB (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) plus ½ of 1%, and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one-month interest period on such day, plus 1.0%, in each case plus an agreed upon spread (ranging from 25 to 100 basis points for loans scheduled to mature in 2021 and from 50 to 150 basis points for loans scheduled to mature in 2022) which is established quarterly based on the Company's then Leverage Ratio. In the case of loans bearing interest at a rate based on the Alternate Base Rate, interest payments are payable quarterly. In the case of loans bearing interest at a rate based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate, interest is payable at the end of the relevant Interest Period (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) for such borrowing unless such Interest Period is for more than three months duration, in which case such interest is payable at intervals of three months duration after the first day of such Interest Period, which can be up to six months at the option of the Company. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee on unused available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (ranging from 15 to 30 basis points for loans scheduled to mature in 2021 and from 20 to 40 basis points for loans scheduled to mature in 2022) which is established quarterly based on the Company's then Leverage Ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants that restrict the Company’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt; encumber  assets; merge with or transfer or sell assets to other persons; make or enter into certain investments, loans, or guaranties; enter into certain swap agreements; enter into affiliate transactions or restrictive transactions; make restricted payments; prepay subordinated indebtedness; and enter into sale and leaseback arrangements. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a Leverage Ratio of 4.50:1.00 or less and an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) equal to or greater than 2.50 to 1.00.

We were in compliance with all financial ratios and tests at June 30, 2020. We had $485.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2020. We had $260.0 million of available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of the outstanding letters of credit, at June 30, 2020, all of which was available for future borrowings based on our current Leverage Ratio.

The Revolving Credit Facility has a $40.0 million letter of credit facility. The Company pays each lender a participation fee with respect to such lender’s participations in letters of credit, which fee accrues at the same Applicable Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) plus a one-time letter of credit fee to the issuing bank of such letters of credit in an amount equal to 0.125% of the initial stated amount. At June 30, 2020, we had $5.0 million of outstanding letters of credit. We previously provided an irrevocable stand-by letter of credit for any borrowings made by our Joint Venture under its credit facility; however, this credit facility was terminated and the letter of credit cancelled in July 2020.

Term Loan

We have a term loan credit agreement (the Term Loan Agreement) establishing a $665.0 million term loan facility which we used to pay a portion of the purchase price for the Kosmos Acquisition and fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Kosmos Acquisition in March 2020, which matures on August 2, 2022.

Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement bear interest, at our option, at a variable rate equal to either (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement and consistent with the Revolving Credit Facility), plus an agreed spread (ranging from 50 to 150 basis points), or (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus an agreed spread (ranging from 150 to 250 basis points), which is established quarterly based on the Company's then Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement and consistent with the Revolving Credit Facility). The Company must also maintain a Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio consistent with the Revolving Credit Facility.

4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2026

On August 2, 2016, the Company issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% senior notes (Senior Unsecured Notes) due August 2026. Interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes is payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year until all of the outstanding notes are paid. The Senior Unsecured Notes rank equal to existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Credit Facility and the Private Placement Senior Unsecured Notes. Prior to August 1, 2021, we may redeem some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a “make-whole” premium. Beginning August 1, 2021, we may redeem some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes at the redemption prices set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount being redeemed):

The Senior Unsecured Notes contain covenants that limit our ability and/or our guarantor subsidiaries' ability to create or permit to exist certain liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge, or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. The Company’s Senior Unsecured Notes are fully, unconditionally, jointly, and severally guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Agreement. See Footnote (R) for more information on the guarantors of the Senior Public Notes.

 

Other Information

We lease one of our cement plants from the city of Sugar Creek, Missouri. The city of Sugar Creek issued industrial revenue bonds to partly finance improvements to the cement plant. The lease payments due to the city of Sugar Creek under the cement plant lease, which was entered into upon the sale of the industrial revenue bonds, are equal in amount to the payments required to be made by the city of Sugar Creek to the holders of the industrial revenue bonds. Because we hold all outstanding industrial revenue bonds, no debt is reflected on our financial statements in connection with our lease of the cement plant. Upon expiration of the lease in fiscal 2021, we have the option to purchase the cement plant for a nominal amount.

 

(O) SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities that earn revenue, incur expenses, and prepare separate financial information that is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources and assess performance.

We are a leading supplier of heavy construction materials and light building materials in the United States. Our primary products are commodities that are essential in commercial and residential construction; public construction projects; and projects to build, expand, and repair roads and highways. Demand for our products is generally cyclical and seasonal, depending on economic and geographic conditions. We distribute our products across many United States markets, which provides us with regional economic diversification. We also produce sand used in hydraulic fracturing as part of our Oil and Gas Proppants segment.

 

17


 

Our business is organized into three sectors within which there are five reportable business segments. The Heavy Materials sector includes the Cement and Concrete and Aggregates segments. The Light Materials sector includes the Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard segments. The Oil and Gas Proppants segment produces frac sand used in oil and gas extraction.

Our operations are conducted in the U.S. and include the mining of limestone for the manufacture, production, distribution, and sale of portland cement (a basic construction material which is the essential binding ingredient in concrete); the grinding and sale of slag; the mining of gypsum for the manufacture and sale of gypsum wallboard; the manufacture and sale of recycled paperboard to the gypsum wallboard industry and other paperboard converters; the sale of readymix concrete; the mining and sale of aggregates (crushed stone, sand, and gravel) and the mining and sale of sand used in hydraulic fracturing (frac sand).

We operate eight modern cement plants (one of which is operated through a joint venture located in Buda, Texas), one slag grinding facility, and 29 cement distribution terminals. Our cement companies focus on the U.S. heartland and operate as an integrated network selling product primarily in California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Texas. We operate 23 readymix concrete batch plants and four aggregates processing plants in markets that are complementary to our cement network. On April 17, 2020 we sold our Concrete and Aggregates companies in northern California.  See Footnote (D) for more information about the sale.

We operate five gypsum wallboard plants and a recycled paperboard mill. We distribute gypsum wallboard and recycled paperboard throughout the continental U.S., with the exception of the Northeast.

Our Oil and Gas Proppants business owns two frac sand processing facilities, four frac sand drying facilities, and two frac sand trans-load locations. Frac sand is sold into shale deposits across the United States. During May 2020, we significantly curtailed our operating activities at our frac sand facilities.

We account for intersegment sales at market prices. For segment reporting purposes only, we proportionately consolidate our 50% share of the Joint Venture Revenue and Operating Earnings, consistent with the way management reports the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

The following table sets forth certain financial information relating to our operations by segment. We do not allocate interest or taxes at the segment level; these costs are disclosed at the consolidated company level.

The capital expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2019 disclosed above differs from the capital expenditures on the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as it includes $3.7 million of capital expenditures that were accrued at June 30, 2019 and therefore not included in the Statement of Cash Flows.  See Footnote (B) for more information.

Segment operating earnings, including the proportionately consolidated 50% interest in the revenue and expenses of the Joint Venture, represent Revenue, less direct operating expenses, segment Depreciation, and segment Selling, General and Administrative expenses. We account for intersegment sales at market prices. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, general office assets, and miscellaneous other assets.

The basis used to disclose Identifiable Assets; Capital Expenditures; and Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization conforms with the equity method, and is similar to how we disclose these accounts in our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings

Interest Income includes interest earned on investments of excess cash. Components of Interest Expense include interest associated with the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan, Senior Unsecured Notes, and commitment fees based on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. Other Expenses include amortization of debt issuance costs and Revolving Credit Facility costs.

(Q) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We have certain deductible limits under our workers’ compensation and liability insurance policies for which reserves are established based on the undiscounted estimated costs of known and anticipated claims. We have entered into standby letter of credit agreements relating to workers’ compensation and auto and general liability self-insurance. At June 30, 2020, we had contingent liabilities under these outstanding letters of credit of approximately $5.0 million.

In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications that are standard in the industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as the sale of a business. These indemnifications may include claims relating to any of the following: environmental and tax matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships; construction contracts and financial matters. While the maximum amount to which the Company may be exposed under such agreements cannot be estimated, management believes these indemnifications will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We currently have no outstanding guarantees.

We are currently contingently liable for performance under $29.9 million in performance bonds required by certain states and municipalities and their related agencies. The bonds are principally for certain reclamation obligations and mining permits. We have indemnified the underwriting insurance company against any exposure under the performance bonds. In our past experience, no material claims have been made against these financial instruments.

(R) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of our long-term debt has been estimated based upon our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of our Senior Unsecured Notes at June 30, 2020 is as follows:

 

 

Fair Value

 

 

 

(dollars in thousands)

 

4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2026

 

$

363,765

 

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was based on quoted prices of similar debt instruments with similar terms that are publicly traded (level 2 input). The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values at June 30, 2020, due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The fair value of our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan also approximates their carrying values at June 30, 2020.

(S) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR GUARANTORS OF THE 4.500% SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES

On August 2, 2016, the Company completed a public offering of its Senior Unsecured Notes. The Senior Unsecured Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and were offered under the Company’s existing shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by all of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, except for those subsidiaries comprising the Oil and Gas Proppants business. The guarantees are full and unconditional, and joint and several. The subsidiaries comprising the Oil and Gas Proppants business were guarantors of the Senior Unsecured Notes at March 31, 2020, but beginning in April 2020 they were removed from the guarantor group.

The following unaudited condensed consolidating financial statements present separately the Earnings and Comprehensive Earnings, financial position, and Cash Flows of the parent issuer (Eagle Materials Inc.), the guarantors (all wholly owned subsidiaries of Eagle Materials Inc., with the exception of the Oil and Gas Proppants businesses beginning April 1, 2020) and the non-guarantors (the Oil and Gas Proppants businesses beginning April 1, 2020) on a combined basis with eliminating entries (dollars in thousands).

ITEM 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We are a leading supplier of heavy construction materials and light building materials in the United States. Our primary products are commodities that are essential in commercial and residential construction; public construction projects; and projects to build, expand, and repair roads and highways. Demand for our products is generally cyclical and seasonal, depending on economic and geographic conditions. We distribute our products across many United States markets, which provides us with regional economic diversification. We also produce sand used in hydraulic fracturing as part of our Oil and Gas Proppants sector.

Our business is organized into three sectors: Heavy Materials, which includes the Cement and Concrete and Aggregates segments; Light Materials, which includes the Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard segments; and Oil and Gas Proppants, which are used in oil and natural gas extraction. Financial results and other information for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, are presented on a consolidated basis and by these business segments – Cement, Concrete and Aggregates, Gypsum Wallboard, Recycled Paperboard, and Oil and Gas Proppants.

We conduct one of our cement operations through a joint venture, Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP, which is located in Buda, Texas (the Joint Venture). We own a 50% interest in the Joint Venture and account for our interest under the equity method of accounting. We proportionately consolidate our 50% share of the Joint Venture’s Revenue and Operating Earnings in the presentation of our Cement segment, which is the way management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

All our business activities are conducted in the United States. These activities include the mining of limestone for the manufacture, production, distribution, and sale of portland cement (a basic construction material that is the essential binding ingredient in concrete); the grinding and sale of slag; the mining of gypsum for the manufacture and sale of gypsum wallboard; the manufacture and sale of recycled paperboard to the gypsum wallboard industry and other paperboard converters; the sale of readymix concrete; the mining and sale of aggregates (crushed stone, sand, and gravel); and the mining and sale of sand used in hydraulic fracturing (frac sand).

Demand for our products is generally cyclical and seasonal, depending on economic and geographic conditions. We distribute our products throughout most of the United States, except the Northeast, which provides us with regional economic diversification. However, general economic downturns or localized downturns in the regions where we have operations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

On August 2, 2019, we acquired the assets of a readymix concrete and aggregates business (the ConAgg Acquisition). The purchase price (Purchase Price) of the ConAgg Acquisition was approximately $30.4 million. The Purchase Price and expenses incurred in connection with the ConAgg Acquisition were funded through operating cash flows and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. The ConAgg Acquisition’s assets and operating results are included in our Concrete and Aggregates segment reporting from August 2, 2019 through March 31, 2020, and for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

On March 6, 2020, we acquired the assets of Kosmos Cement Company (Kosmos), a joint venture between CEMEX S.A.B. de C.V. and Buzzi Unicem S.p.A. for approximately $669 million (the Kosmos Acquisition). The Kosmos Acquisition included (i) a cement plant located in Louisville, Kentucky, (ii) a limestone quarry located in Battletown, Kentucky, (iii) cement distribution terminals located in Indianapolis, Indiana; Cincinnati, Ohio; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Charleston, West Virginia; Ceredo, West Virginia; Mt. Vernon, Indiana; and Lexington, Kentucky, and (iv) certain other properties and assets used by Kosmos in connection with the foregoing (collectively, the Kosmos Business). We also assumed certain liabilities and obligations of Kosmos relating to the Kosmos Business, including contractual obligations, reclamation obligations and various other liabilities and obligations arising out of or relating to the Kosmos Business. We funded the payment of the purchase price and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction through a combination of cash on hand and a syndicated term loan facility. The Kosmos Business’ assets and operating results are included in our Cement segment reporting from March 6, 2020 through March 31, 2020, and for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

On April 17, 2020, we sold our Western Aggregates LLC (Western) and Mathews Readymix LLC (Mathews) businesses for an aggregate purchase price of $93.5 million, resulting in a gain of $52.0 million. Western and Mathews were part of our Concrete and Aggregates operating segment, and their results of operations were included in our financial statements for the period from April 1, 2020 through April 17, 2020.

As previously announced on May 30, 2019, the Company plans to separate its Heavy Materials and Light Materials businesses into two independent, publicly traded corporations by means of a tax-free spin-off to Eagle shareholders.  We remain committed to the separation, although the timing is uncertain.  We continue preparations to ensure that the two businesses are well-positioned for the separation when the markets recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

MARKET CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, several macroeconomic factors had a positive impact on the construction sector, including low interest rates, high consumer confidence and robust employment, which led to favorable trends in housing starts, state construction lettings and construction employment. These factors continued to have a positive effect on both our Heavy Materials and Light Materials businesses during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, despite the extraordinary and wide-ranging actions taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the spread of COVID-19, including quarantines, “shelter-in-place” orders and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.  To date, we have not been materially affected by governmental orders requiring businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.  We are continuing to operate as an essential business in virtually all of the markets we serve. However, in light of the continued spread COVID-19, we are closely monitoring the disruptions caused by the pandemic and their possible effects on our business in current and future periods. 

Although the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant impact on our business in fiscal 2020 or the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we believe it is likely to negatively affect us in subsequent periods. The timing, nature and extent of its impact, however, is highly uncertain. To date, the pandemic and responses designed to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects have resulted in significant job losses, causing an increase in the U.S. unemployment rate from 3.5% in February 2020 to 11.1% in June 2020, which is among the sharpest increases on record.  In addition, consumer confidence has substantially decreased in many of the markets in which we operate.  We expect that the new residential housing market, which depends to a significant extent on the amount of funds available to and expended by consumers, likely will be the first of our market segments to be materially affected. In fiscal 2020, approximately 50% of our wallboard business and 25% of our cement business was attributable to new residential construction.

The pandemic is also likely to have a significant effect on state and local government revenues and construction budgets, and may result in delays, cancellations or curtailment of construction projects in the future. We continue to monitor our operations, the operations of our customers and actions taken by the various national, state, and local governments in the areas in which we operate. 

The extent to which the spread of COVID-19 will impact the national and local economies in which we operate, and ultimately our business, will depend on numerous factors, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict. Our integrated cement sales network stretches across the U.S. heartland. The Portland Cement Association is estimating cement consumption will increase in calendar 2020 over 2019 by approximately 2%. In addition to weather, cement and concrete and aggregates markets are affected by infrastructure spending, residential construction, and industrial construction activity. While we anticipate cement demand will remain strong in our markets throughout the remainder of the calendar 2020, the uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic and possible “second-wave” cases may cause demand to weaken during the fall. Oil well cement demand has been negatively affected by the reduction in drilling activity; however, oil well cement sales volume represented less than 2% of cement volume in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Our primary Gypsum Wallboard sales network stretches across the southern half of the United States, consistent with our facility network. Wallboard demand is heavily influenced by new residential housing construction, as well as repair and remodeling activity. Demand for housing, and construction of new homes, was strong during three months ended June 30, 2020, in part aided by historically low interest rates. We anticipate demand to remain consistent for the next two quarters; however, the uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic and possible “second-wave” cases may cause demand to weaken during the late summer or early fall. Our Recycled Paperboard business primarily sells paper into the gypsum wallboard market, and demand for paper generally follows the demand for gypsum wallboard. The primary raw material used to produce recycled paperboard is recycled fiber, also known as OCC. During the quarter, recycled fiber costs increased a total of $75 per ton over the course of April and May because of a significant decline in generation as many states issued shelter-in-place orders to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. As economies began to re-open and recycled fiber generation increased, costs declined a total of $55 per ton over the course of June and July. We expect OCC pricing will remain fairly consistent over the next quarter, but pricing remains sensitive to any changes in economic activity related to COVID-19, which could result in further pricing volatility over the remainder of our fiscal year. Our current gypsum liner customer contracts include price escalators that partially offset and compensate for changes in raw material fiber prices, so the impact of the OCC price increases in the first quarter likely will adversely affect our wallboard operations by increasing the cost of paper during our second fiscal quarter.

During March and April 2020, oil prices declined to all-time lows due to the decrease in demand for oil resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, increases in production of oil by Saudi Arabia and Russia created a significant surplus in supply and resulted in sharp declines in oil and gas prices. These developments have led to substantial decreases in drilling and well-completion activity beginning in March 2020. The reduction in drilling activity has negatively affected demand for our frac sand and oil well cement, and led to a significant reduction or cessation of new orders.  In response to these market conditions, we have curtailed our operations and reduced headcount at our frac sand facilities and are focused on preserving the value of our operating assets for future use.  As previously disclosed, we are actively pursuing alternatives for our Oil and Gas Proppants business. If this results in an alternative use or disposition of this business, additional impairment or other losses may be incurred.

REVENUE

Revenue increased by $57.4 million, or 15%, to $428.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The Kosmos and ConAgg Acquisitions contributed $57.6 million of Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020, while Western and Mathews contributed $7.8 million of Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Excluding the acquisitions and dispositions, Revenue improved by $7.6 million, or 2%. The increase in Revenue was due to higher Sales Volume, which positively affected Revenue by approximately $8.0 million. This was partially offset by lower gross sale prices, which negatively affected Revenue by $0.4 million.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

Cost of Goods Sold increased by $31.7 million, or 11%, to $327.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The Kosmos and ConAgg Acquisitions contributed $46.3 million of Cost of Goods Sold for the three months ended June 30, 2020, while Western and Mathews contributed $6.8 million of Cost of Goods Sold for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Excluding the acquisitions and dispositions, Cost of Goods Sold decreased by $7.8 million, or 3%. The decline in Cost of Goods Sold was due to the reduction in operating costs of approximately $18.9 million, partially offset by increased Cost of Goods Sold related to increased Sales Volume of $11.1 million. The reduction in operating costs was primarily related to our Cement, Gypsum Wallboard and Oil and Gas Proppants segments, which are discussed further on pages 31-35.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross Profit increased 34% to $101.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Excluding the acquisitions and dispositions, Gross Profit increased by $15.3 million, or 21%. The increase in Gross Profit was primarily due to lower operating expenses and increased Sales Volume, partially offset by lower gross sales prices. The gross margin increased to 24% from 21%, primarily because of lower operating expenses, partially offset by lower gross sales prices.

EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE

Equity in Earnings of our Unconsolidated Joint Venture decreased $1.6 million, or 17%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decline was primarily due to lower net sales prices and Sales Volume, which adversely affected earnings by approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as well as increased operating costs, which decreased operating earnings by approximately $0.8 million. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to maintenance, which increased by approximately $0.7 million.  

 

29


 

CORPORATE GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Corporate General and Administrative expenses declined by approximately $3.5 million, or 16%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily because of lower salary and incentive compensation costs and promotion and travel costs of approximately $4.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. This was partially offset by increased professional costs of $0.7 million incurred in connection with the Kosmos Acquisition and the sale of Mathews and Western. The lower salary and incentive compensation costs were primarily due to the acceleration of stock compensation costs of $5.3 million upon the retirement of our Chief Executive Officer in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

GAIN ON SALE OF BUSINESSES

On April 17, 2020 we sold Western and Mathews for approximately $93.5 million.  See Footnote (D) to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the sale.

OTHER NON-OPERATING INCOME (LOSS)

Other Non-Operating Income (Loss) consists of a variety of items that are unrelated to segment operations and include non-inventoried aggregates income, asset sales, and other miscellaneous income and cost items.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

Interest Expense, net increased by approximately $5.2 million, or 59%, during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in Interest Expense, net was primarily due to higher interest on borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan, and amortization of related debt issuances costs of approximately $0.5 million, $4.5 million, and $0.8 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by lower interest on our Unsecured Private Placement Notes of $0.6 million, which were paid in full in fiscal 2020. The Term Loan was entered into in February 2020 to fund the Kosmos Acquisition. The increase in debt issuance costs was related to the issuance of the Term Loan and the amendment of both the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan in April 2020.

EARNINGS BEFORE INCOME TAXES

Earnings Before Income Taxes increased to $128.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of higher Gross Profit and Gain on Sale of Businesses, and lower Corporate General and Administrative Expense. This was partially offset by lower Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Joint Venture and increased Interest Expense, net.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income Tax Expense increased 140% to $32.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily related to changes in pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was constant at 25% year over year. The increase in income tax expense was primarily because of higher pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 2020.  

NET EARNINGS AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net Earnings increased 133% to $96.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Diluted Earnings per Share increased 146% to $2.31 per share.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 vs. THREE MONTHS ENDED June 30, 2019 BY SEGMENT

Cement Revenue was $261.4 million, a 34% increase, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Excluding $47.6 million of Revenue related to the Kosmos Acquisition, Revenue increased $18.5 million, or 10%. Excluding the Kosmos Acquisition, the increase was primarily due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which improved Cement Revenue by approximately $3.8 million and $14.7 million, respectively.  

Cement Operating Earnings increased by 67% to $60.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Excluding $10.5 million of Operating Earnings related to the Kosmos Acquisition, Operating Earnings increased $13.9 million, or 39%. The increase was due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, and lower operating costs, which positively affected Operating Earnings by approximately $3.8 million, $1.8 million, and $8.2 million, respectively. The decline in operating costs was primarily because of lower maintenance and energy costs of approximately $8.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, partially offset by higher purchased raw materials costs of $2.5 million. Due to the uncertainty of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we modified the timing and extent of our annual cement maintenance outages. Approximately $6.0 million of the anticipated maintenance costs have been deferred to the fiscal second and third quarters. The operating margin increased to 23% from 18%, primarily because of lower operating costs and higher gross sales prices.

Concrete and Aggregates Revenue increased 11% to $44.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Excluding Revenue related to the ConAgg Acquisition in fiscal 2021, and Western and Mathews in fiscal 2021 and 2020, Revenue increased $0.7 million, or 2%. The primary reason for the increase in Revenue was higher gross sales prices, which increased Revenue by $1.9 million. This was partially offset by lower Sales Volume, which reduced Revenue by $1.2 million.

Operating Earnings increased 22% to approximately $5.4 million. Excluding Operating Earnings related to the ConAgg Acquisition in fiscal 2021, and Western and Mathews in fiscal 2021 and 2020, Operating Earnings increased $1.1 million, or 32%. The increase was a result of higher gross sales prices, which positively affected Operating Earnings by approximately $1.9 million. This was partially offset by lower Sales Volume and higher operating costs of approximately $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The operating costs increase was primarily due to higher cost of materials of approximately $0.6 million.

Gypsum Wallboard Revenue increased 3% to $130.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily related to a 7% increase in Sales Volume. The increase in Sales Volume positively affected Revenue by approximately $8.5 million, partially offset by lower average gross sales prices, which adversely affected Revenue by $5.0 million. Our market share increased during the three months ended June 30, 2020, due to the minimal effect of COVID-19 shutdowns in our markets compared to the national average.

Operating Earnings increased 9% to $41.3 million, primarily due to higher Sales Volume and decrease in operating costs. The increase in Sales Volume and decrease in operating costs positively affected Operating Earnings by approximately $2.6 million and $5.9 million, respectively. This was partially offset by lower gross sales prices, which adversely affected Operating Earnings by approximately $5.0 million. The lower operating costs were primarily related to freight, energy, and paper costs which reduced operating costs by approximately $1.8 million, $1.1 million, and $1.2 million, respectively. The operating margin increased to 32% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily related to lower operating costs, partially offset by lower gross sales prices. Fixed costs are not a significant portion of the overall cost of wallboard; therefore, changes in utilization have a relatively minor impact on our operating cost per unit.

Recycled Paperboard Revenue declined 14% to $36.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in Revenue was due to lower gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which adversely affected Revenue by $3.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Lower gross sales prices were due to the pricing provisions in our long-term sales agreements.

Operating Earnings declined 71% to $2.9 million, primarily because of the decrease in gross sales prices and Sales Volume, and an increase in operating costs, which adversely affected Operating Earnings by approximately $3.5 million, $0.5 million, and $3.0 million, respectively. The increase in operating costs was related to operating inefficiencies in April and May related to start-up of the papermill after the completion of the project to enhance and expand the mill, as well as higher input costs, namely fiber, which lowered Operating Earnings by approximately $2.1 million and $1.5 million. The increase in fiber cost was due primarily to the decline in generation of OCC due to the shelter-in-place orders issued to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. This was partially offset by lower energy costs of approximately $0.5 million. Operating margin decreased to 8% from 23%, primarily because of higher operating costs and lower gross sales prices.

Revenue from our Oil and Gas Proppants segment declined 93% to approximately $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decline in Revenue was due to lower Sales Volume and gross sales prices, which adversely affected Revenue by approximately $13.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. During the quarter we significantly curtailed our operating activities and reduced our headcount at our fac sand facilities, as deteriorating market conditions in the oil and gas industry have resulted in sharp declines in pricing and slowdown in drilling and fracturing activity.

Operating Loss for the quarter decreased 64% to approximately $1.3 million. The decrease in Operating Loss was primarily related to the curtailment of operating activities and reduced headcount during the quarter, and lower fixed costs due to the impairment loss recognized during the third quarter of fiscal 2020.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to adopt accounting policies and make significant judgments and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in the financial statements. In many cases, there are alternative policies or estimation techniques that could be used. We maintain a thorough process to review the application of our accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the many estimates that are required to prepare our financial statements. However, even under optimal circumstances, estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and the receipt of new or better information.

Information regarding our Critical Accounting Policies can be found in our Annual Report. The three critical accounting policies that we believe either require the use of the most judgment, or the selection or application of alternative accounting policies, and are material to our financial statements, are those relating to long-lived assets, goodwill, and business combinations. Management has discussed the development and selection of these Critical Accounting Policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and with our independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, Note (A) to the financial statements in our Annual Report contains a summary of our significant accounting policies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Notwithstanding the anticipated challenges associated with COVID-19, we believe at this time we have access to sufficient financial resources from our liquidity sources to fund our business and operations, including contractual obligations, capital expenditures and debt service obligations. We will continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the economy, and on our operations and future liquidity needs, as a continued worldwide disruption of economic activity could materially affect our future access to these sources of liquidity. Please see the Debt Financing Activities section for a discussion of our cash position, credit facility and the amount of borrowings available to us in the next twelve-month period.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities increased by $44.6 million to $95.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to higher dividends from our Joint Venture, and a reduction in the change of working capital, which increased cash flows by approximately $6.5 million and $40.5 million, respectively.

Working capital increased by $63.0 million to $571.6 million at June 30, 2020, primarily due to the increased Cash and Accounts and Notes Receivable of approximately $80.8 million and $42.8 million, respectively, and decreased Accounts Payable of approximately $4.2 million. This was partially offset by increased Accrued Expenses and Income Taxes Payable of approximately $2.2 million and $32.1 million, respectively, and decreased Inventory and Income Tax Receivables of approximately $29.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively. The reduction in Inventory is due to increased Revenue and lower production resulting from scheduled outages at our cement plants. The decrease in Accrued Liabilities and increase in Income Taxes Payable were both due primarily to timing.

The increase in Accounts and Notes Receivable at June 30, 2020, was primarily related to higher Revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2020. As a percentage of quarterly sales generated for the respective quarter, Accounts Receivable was approximately 45% at June 30, 2020 and 48% at March 31, 2020. Management measures the change in Accounts Receivable by monitoring the days sales outstanding on a monthly basis to determine if any deterioration has occurred in the collectability of the Accounts Receivable. No significant deterioration in the collectability of our Accounts Receivable was identified at June 30, 2020. Notes Receivable are monitored on an individual basis, and no significant deterioration in the collectability of our Notes Receivable was identified at June 30, 2020. We are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on our customers’ ability to pay their outstanding balances.

Our Inventory balance at June 30, 2020 declined by approximately $29.4 million from our balance at March 31, 2020. Within Inventory, raw materials and materials-in-progress, finished cement, and aggregates decreased approximately $14.5 million, $9.9 million, and $4.8 million, respectively. The decline in raw materials and materials-in-progress was due primarily to the maintenance outages at all of our cement plants during the quarter. The decline in finished cement was due to both maintenance outages, and increased cement Sales Volume during the quarter. The reduction in aggregates inventory was primarily due to the sale of Western, which had approximately $5.1 million of aggregate inventory at the date of sale. The largest individual balance in our Inventory is our repair parts. These parts are necessary given the size and complexity of our manufacturing plants, as well as the age of certain of our plants, which creates the need to stock a high level of repair parts inventory. We believe all of these repair parts are necessary, and we perform semi-annual analyses to identify obsolete parts. We have less than one year’s sales of all product inventories, and our inventories have a low risk of obsolescence because our products are basic construction materials.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities during the three months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $67.5 million, compared with Net Cash Used in Investing Activities of $21.8 million during the same period in 2019, an increase of approximately $89.3 million. The increase was primarily related to sale of Western and Mathews for approximately $93.5 million, partially offset by an increase of $4.2 million in capital spending. The increase in capital spending was primarily related to the $4.6 million increase in our Gypsum Wallboard business. This increase was primarily related to the acquisition of additional gypsum reserves.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities was approximately $82.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with $18.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The $63.7 million increase was primarily due to the $75.0 million reduction in net borrowings compared with additional borrowings of $185.0 million in fiscal 2020, as well as a reduction of $198.4 million in repurchase and retirement of common stock.

Our debt-to-capitalization ratio and net-debt-to-capitalization ratio were 58.3% and 54.8%, respectively, at June 30, 2020, compared with 61.7% and 60.0%, respectively, at March 31, 2020.

Debt Financing Activities

Below is a summary of the Company’s debt facilities at June 30, 2020:

 

 

Maturity

Revolving Credit Facility

 

August 2022

4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes

 

August 2026

Term Loan

 

August 2022

See Footnote (N) to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company’s debt facilities, including interest rate, and financial and other covenants and restrictions.

The borrowing capacity or our Revolving Credit Facility is $750.0 million until August 2, 2021, after which the aggregate borrowing capacity will be reduced to $665.0 million. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a swingline loan sublimit of $25.0 million, and a $40.0 million letter of credit facility. At June 30, 2020 we had $5.0 million of outstanding letter of credit. We previously provided an irrevocable stand-by letter of credit for any borrowings made by our Joint Venture under its credit facility; however, this credit facility was terminated and the letter of credit cancelled in July 2020. We are contingently liable for performance under $29.9 million in performance bonds relating primarily to our mining operations. We do not have any off-balance sheet debt, or any outstanding debt guarantees.

We had $485.0 million of borrowing outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2020. We had $260.0 million of available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit, at June 30, 2020, all of which was available for future borrowings based on our current Leverage Ratio.

In addition to the Revolving Credit Facility, we have $199.4 million of cash on hand at June 30, 2020, giving us total liquidity of approximately $459.0 million (cash on hand plus Revolving Credit Facility availability). During July

 

37


 

2020, we received $103.7 million of the $123.7 million Income Tax Receivable that was recorded at June 30, 2020. We anticipate using these funds to reduce the outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Other than the Revolving Credit Facility, we have no other source of committed external financing in place. Should the Revolving Credit Facility be terminated, no assurance can be given as to our ability to secure a new source of financing. Consequently, if any balance were outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility at the time of termination, and an alternative source of financing could not be secured, it would have a material adverse impact on our business. Our Revolving Credit Facility is not rated by the rating agencies.

We believe that our cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, as well as cash on hand, should be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated operating needs, capital expenditures, and dividend and debt service requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, our future liquidity and capital requirements may vary depending on a number of factors, including market conditions in the construction industry, our ability to maintain compliance with covenants in our Revolving Credit Facility, the level of competition, and general and economic factors beyond our control, such as COVID-19. These and other developments could reduce our cash flow or require that we seek additional sources of funding. We cannot predict what effect these factors will have on our future liquidity. See Market Conditions and Outlook on page 28 for further discussion out the possible effects of COVID-19 on our business.

As market conditions warrant, the Company may from time to time seek to purchase or repay its outstanding debt securities or loans, including the Term Loan, 4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Subject to any applicable limitations contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness, any purchases made by us may be funded by the use of cash on our balance sheet or the incurrence of new debt. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in aggregate, may be material.

We lease one of our cement plants from the city of Sugar Creek, Missouri. The city of Sugar Creek issued industrial revenue bonds to partly finance improvements to the cement plant. The lease payments due to the city of Sugar Creek under the cement plant lease, which was entered into upon the sale of the industrial revenue bonds, are equal in amount to the payments required to be made by the city of Sugar Creek to the holders of the industrial revenue bonds. Because we hold all outstanding industrial revenue bonds, no debt is reflected on our financial statements in connection with our lease of the cement plant. At the expiration of the lease in fiscal 2021, we have the option to purchase the cement plant for a nominal amount. We also have approximately $57.9 million of lease liabilities at June 30, 2020 that have an average remaining life of approximately 9.1 years.

Dividends

Dividends paid were $4.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. On April 13, 2020, we announced the suspension of future quarterly dividends.

Share Repurchases

On April 18, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase an additional 10.0 million shares. This authorization brought the cumulative total of Common Stock our Board has approved for repurchase in the open market to 48.4 million shares since we became publicly held in April 1994. Through June 30, 2020, we have repurchased approximately 41.1 million shares.

Share repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of any share repurchases are determined by management, based on its evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors. In some cases, repurchases may be made pursuant to plans, programs, or directions established from time to time by the Company’s management, including plans intended to comply with the safe-harbor provided by Rule 10b5-1.

 

38


 

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company withheld from employees 23,901 shares of stock upon the vesting of Restricted Shares that were granted under the Plan. We withheld these shares to satisfy the employees’ statutory tax withholding requirements, which is required once the Restricted Shares or Restricted Shares Units are vested.

Capital expenditures for fiscal 2021 are expected to range from $60.0 million to $70.0 million and be allocated across the Heavy and Light Materials sectors. These estimated capital expenditures are limited to critical maintenance and safety and regulatory projects, as we manage our cash flow in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan. We have occasionally utilized derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, in conjunction with our overall strategy to manage the debt outstanding that is subject to changes in interest rates. We have a $750.0 million Revolving Credit Facility and an outstanding Term Loan at June 30, 2020, under which borrowings bear interest at a variable rate. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates on the $1,150.0 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan at June 30, 2020 would increase interest expense by approximately $11.5 million on an annual basis. At present, we do not utilize derivative financial instruments.

We are subject to commodity risk with respect to price changes principally in coal, coke, natural gas, and power. We attempt to limit our exposure to changes in commodity prices by entering into contracts or increasing our use of alternative fuels.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We have established a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information relating to the Company, which is required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a timely fashion. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was performed as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. This evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Our operations and properties are subject to extensive and changing federal, state, and local laws; regulations and ordinances governing the protection of the environment; as well as laws relating to worker health and workplace safety. We carefully consider the requirements mandated by such laws and regulations and have procedures in place at all of our operating units to monitor compliance. Any matters which are identified as potential exposures under these laws and regulations are carefully reviewed by management to determine our potential liability.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For additional information regarding factors that could impact our results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity, see Part 1. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe disruptions in the U.S. and global economies.  Although the extent of its impact continues to be highly uncertain, we believe the pandemic and the response to it are likely to negatively affect demand for our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19, which began spreading globally in late 2019, a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide.  On March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, and several states and municipalities declared public health emergencies.  Along with these declarations, international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities have taken extraordinary and wide-ranging actions to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions across the United States and the world, including quarantines, “shelter-in-place” orders, and mandates for individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.  Despite these actions, COVID-19 has continued to spread in many areas within the United States, and new cases have recently reached record levels in Arizona, California, Florida and Texas.  

To date, we have not been materially affected by governmental orders requiring businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.  We are continuing to operate as an essential business in virtually all of the markets we serve.  There can be no assurance, however, that new restrictions will not be adopted that would limit or restrict the scope of our operations. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and responses thereto designed to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects could have a negative impact on several areas affecting our business, including the following:

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in adverse macroeconomic conditions that have the potential to affect demand for our products in the principal markets in which we operate.  For example, the pandemic and responses thereto have resulted in significant job losses and substantial decreases in consumer confidence in many of the markets in which we operate. Consequently, it is likely that the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect demand for our products in current or future periods.

 

The pandemic is likely to have a significant effect on state and local government revenues and construction budgets, and may result in delays, cancellations or curtailment of construction projects.

 

The pandemic could result in delays in collecting on certain of our accounts receivable from our customers.

 

The pandemic could result in increased costs associated with compliance with new government regulations or restrictions, such as quarantines or social distancing mandates or new workplace safety measures, which may affect our operations in one or more of the markets in which we operate.

 

40


 

 

The pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in fluctuations in equity market prices (including that of our Common Stock), interest rates and credit spreads, which may limit our ability to raise or deploy capital and implement our future plans, including our planned separation of our Heavy Materials and Light Materials businesses.

 

Finally, the pandemic may have other negative impacts on our operations, supply chain, transportation networks and customers, which we may not be able to anticipate or respond to effectively.

We are continuing to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its likely effects. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately impact our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations will depend on numerous factors, which are highly uncertain, rapidly changing and cannot be predicted. These factors include:

 

the duration and scope of the outbreak;

 

governmental, business and individual actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the outbreak;

 

the effect of the outbreak on our customers, suppliers, supply chain, and other business partners;

 

our ability during the outbreak to continue to carry out our manufacturing operations in an efficient manner, while taking measures to protect the health and well-being of our employees;

 

the willingness and ability of our customers to order and pay for our products during and following the outbreak; and

 

the impact of the outbreak on the financial markets and economic activity generally.

The above uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic also make it more challenging for our management to estimate the future performance of our business and develop strategies to generate growth or achieve our objectives for fiscal 2021 and future periods.

One key area we continue to closely monitor is the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our manufacturing operations.  Although we are taking precautions to ensure the safety of our employees, in the event we suffer an outbreak at one of our manufacturing facilities, we may be forced to suspend operations at such facility until the health conditions improve. Any such reduction in our production capacity could render us unable to continue to produce our construction products or satisfy order placed by our customers.  With respect to our Oil and Gas Proppants sector, demand for oil has significantly deteriorated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and responses thereto. At the same time, increases in production of oil by Saudi Arabia and Russia created a significant surplus in supply and resulted in sharp declines in oil and gas prices. These developments have led to significant reductions in drilling and well-completion activity beginning in March 2020. The reduction in drilling activity has negatively affected demand for our frac sand, and led to a significant reduction or cessation of new orders.  In response to these market conditions, we have curtailed our operations and reduced headcount at our frac sand facilities and are focused on preserving the value of our operating assets for future use.  We are continuing to explore strategic alternatives for our frac sand business.
