1. Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Martin Marietta (the “Corporation”) is engaged principally in the construction aggregates business. The Corporation’s aggregates product line includes crushed stone, sand and gravel, and is used for construction of highways and other infrastructure projects, and in the nonresidential and residential construction industries. Aggregates products are also used in the railroad, agricultural, utility and environmental industries. These aggregates products, along with the Corporation’s aggregates-related downstream product lines, which include asphalt products, ready mixed concrete and road paving construction services, are sold and shipped from a network of approximately 420 quarries, distribution facilities and plants to customers in 30 states, Canada, the Bahamas and the Caribbean Islands. The aggregates and aggregates-related downstream product lines are reported collectively as the “Aggregates business”.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Corporation made minor changes to the operations and management reporting structure of its Aggregates business, resulting in an immaterial change to its reportable segments. The Corporation currently conducts the Aggregates business through three reportable segments: the Mid-America Group, the Southeast Group and the West Group.

The Corporation has a Cement segment, which is comprised of cement operations acquired from Texas Industries, Inc. (“TXI”) with production facilities located in Midlothian, Texas, south of Dallas/Fort Worth; Hunter Texas, south of San Antonio; and Oro Grande, near Los Angeles, California. See Note 2 for additional information on the acquisition. The cement business produces Portland and specialty cements, such as masonry and oil well cements. Similar to the Aggregates business, cement is used in infrastructure projects, nonresidential and residential construction, and the railroad, agricultural, utility and environmental industries. The limestone reserves used as a raw material are located on owned property adjacent to each of the plants. The Corporation also operates cement terminals, a packaging facility at the Crestmore plant near Riverside, California, and its Portland cement grinding facility on an as needed basis.

The Corporation has a Specialty Products segment with manufacturing facilities in Manistee, Michigan and Woodville, Ohio. The Specialty Products segment produces magnesia-based chemicals products used in industrial, agricultural and environmental applications and dolomitic lime sold primarily to customers in the steel industry.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Other than the adoption of a new accounting standard (see page 9), the Corporation has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not indicative of the results expected for other interim periods or the full year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Early Adoption of New Accounting Standard

Effective January 1, 2014, the Corporation early adopted the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (the “FASB”) final guidance on reporting discontinued operations. The guidance is to be applied prospectively and redefines discontinued operations to be either 1) a component of an entity or group of components that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results or 2) a business that, upon acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The adoption of the accounting standard did not have any effect on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

Revenue Recognition Standard

The FASB issued an accounting standard update that amends the accounting guidance on revenue recognition. The new standard intends to provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improve comparability of revenue recognition practices and improve disclosure requirements. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and can be applied on a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of the new standard, and at this time does not expect the impact to be material to its results of operations.

Reclassifications

Prior-year segment information for the Aggregates business presented in Note 10 has been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the Corporation’s current reportable segments. In addition, certain other reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

Earnings per Common Share

The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share is net earnings/loss attributable to Martin Marietta reduced by dividends and undistributed earnings attributable to the Corporation’s unvested restricted stock awards and incentive stock awards. If there is a net loss, no amount of the undistributed loss is attributed to unvested participating securities. The denominator for basic earnings per common share is the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed assuming that the weighted-average number of common shares is increased by the conversion, using the treasury stock method, of awards to be issued to employees and nonemployee members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors under certain stock-based compensation arrangements if the conversion is dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the diluted per-share computations reflect a change in the number of common shares outstanding to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator for basic and diluted earnings per common share:

2. Business Combinations and Divestitures

TXI Business Combination

On July 1, 2014, pursuant to the merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of January 27, 2014 by and among the Corporation, Project Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (“Merger Sub”), and TXI, Merger Sub merged with and into TXI, with TXI surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of TXI common stock (other than shares owned by TXI, the Corporation or Merger Sub, which were cancelled) was converted into 0.70 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. The Corporation issued 20,309,000 shares of its common stock to former TXI stockholders in connection with the Merger. Based on the Corporation’s closing stock price on July 1, 2014 of $132.00, the aggregate value of the Corporation’s common stock delivered to former TXI stockholders was $2,680,788,000. Additionally, the fair value of outstanding TXI stock options and stock appreciation rights that were converted into Martin Marietta stock awards at the acquisition date of $71,085,000 and shares withheld for income tax obligations were components of the total consideration, which was $2,756,934,000.

TXI was the largest producer of cement in Texas and a major cement producer in California. TXI was also a major supplier of construction aggregate, ready mixed concrete and concrete products. The combination expands the Corporation’s geographic footprint and positions the Corporation to benefit from the strength of the combined aggregates platform.

The Corporation has determined preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Although initial accounting for the business combination has been recorded, these amounts are subject to change based on the final valuation report and additional reviews performed, such as asset verification. Specific accounts subject to ongoing purchase accounting adjustments include but are not limited to inventory; property, plant and equipment; other assets; goodwill; accounts payable and accrued expenses and deferred taxes. Therefore, the measurement period remains open as of September 30, 2014. The following is a summary of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed (dollars in thousands).

 

Assets:

  

Cash and cash equivalents

   $ 59,887   

Receivables

     161,437   

Inventory

     132,972   

Other current assets

     56,246   

Property, plant and equipment

     1,608,305   

Real estate and other investments

Intangible assets, other than goodwill

     559,327   

Other noncurrent assets

     5,367   

Goodwill

     1,457,043   
  

 

 

 

Total assets

     4,100,168   
  

 

 

 

Liabilities:

  

Accounts payable and accrued expenses

     259,723   

Notes and contracts payable and capital leases

     745,217   

Deferred income tax liabilities

     338,294   
  

 

 

 

Total liabilities

     1,343,234   
  

 

 

 

Total consideration

   $ 2,756,934   
  

 

 

 

Real estate and other investments include property held for resale and a noncontrolling interest in a joint venture.

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill was generated by the synergies the transaction provides, including overhead savings, purchasing leverage generated by a larger company, benefits of the existing long-haul transportation system, and cost savings achieved through increased vertical integration of the business. None of the goodwill generated by the transaction will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Total revenues and earnings from operations included in the consolidated earnings statements attributable to TXI operations as of September 30, 2014 are $287,587,000 and $18,755,000, respectively.

Business development and acquisition integration expenses related to the TXI acquisition were $73,968,000 and $88,959,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations for the Corporation and TXI as though the companies were combined as of January 1, 2013. Transactions between Martin Marietta and TXI during the periods presented in the pro forma financial statements have been eliminated as if Martin Marietta and TXI were consolidated affiliates during the periods. Financial information for periods prior to the July 1, 2014 acquisition date included in the pro forma earnings does not reflect any cost savings or associated costs to achieve such savings from operating efficiencies, synergies, debt refinancing, utilization of TXI net operating loss carryforwards or other restructuring that result from the combination. The pro forma financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 reflects the elimination of business development and acquisition integration expenses and the gain on the required divestiture of assets.

The unaudited pro forma financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes TXI’s historical operating results for the six months ended May 31, 2014 (due to a difference in TXI’s historical reporting periods) and the results of operations for the TXI locations from July 1, 2014, the acquisition date, to September 30, 2014. The unaudited pro forma financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes the historical results of TXI for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2013 (due to a difference in TXI’s historical reporting periods).

The pro forma financial statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The pro forma financial information as presented below is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of fiscal year 2013.

Divestiture of Assets

In accordance with an agreement between the Corporation and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) as part of its review of the business combination with TXI, the Corporation agreed to divest a Corporate owned aggregates quarry in Oklahoma and two Corporate owned rail yards in Texas. On August 15, 2014, the Corporation divested of the properties in exchange for cash and real property and recognized a pretax gain of $47,904,000, which is included in acquisition-related expenses, net, in the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings.

Purchase of Remaining Interest in Existing Subsidiaries

During 2014, the Corporation acquired the remaining interest in two joint ventures in separate transactions. Net cash paid for both transactions was $19,480,000.

5. Long-Term Debt (continued)

 

On June 23, 2014, the Corporation priced its offering of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2017 (the “Floating Rate Notes”) and $400,000,000 of its 4.25% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “4.25% Senior Notes” and together with the Floating Rate Notes, the “Notes”). The bond transaction closed and settlement occurred on July 2, 2014. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Corporation entered into an indenture, dated as of July 2, 2014, between the Corporation and Regions Bank, as trustee, and a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2014, with respect to the Notes, among the Corporation, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several initial purchasers named in Schedule I to the purchase agreement entered into on June 23, 2014 with respect to the Notes. The Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 1.10% and may not be redeemed prior to maturity. The 4.25% Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part prior to their maturity at a make-whole redemption price.

On July 1, 2014, the Corporation, through a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary, amended its trade receivable securitization facility (the “Trade Receivable Facility”) to increase the borrowing capacity from $150,000,000 to $250,000,000. On September 30, 2014, the Corporation extended the maturity of its Trade Receivable Facility to September 30, 2016. The Trade Receivable Facility, with Regions Bank and PNC Bank, National Association and certain other lenders that may become a party to the facility from time to time, is backed by eligible trade receivables, as defined, of $482,371,000, $234,101,000 and $314,998,000 at September 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively. These receivables are originated by the Corporation and then sold to the wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary by the Corporation. The Corporation continues to be responsible for the servicing and administration of the receivables purchased by the wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary. The Trade Receivable Facility contains a cross-default provision to the Corporation’s other debt agreements.

The Corporation’s Credit Agreement, which provides a $250,000,000 senior unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $350,000,000 five-year senior unsecured revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”), requires the Corporation’s ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), as defined, for the trailing twelve months (the “Ratio”) to not exceed 3.50x as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Corporation may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions for a period of 180 days so long as the Corporation, as a consequence of such specified acquisition, does not have its rating on long-term unsecured debt fall below BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Baa2 by Moody’s and the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 3.75x. Additionally, if no amounts are outstanding under both the Revolving Facility and the Trade Receivable Facility, consolidated debt, including debt for which the Corporation is a co-borrower, may be reduced by the Corporation’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50,000,000, such reduction not to exceed $200,000,000, for purposes of the covenant calculation.

5. Long-Term Debt (continued)

 

Effective June 23, 2014, the Corporation amended the Credit Agreement to ensure the impact of the business combination with TXI does not impair liquidity available under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Facility. The amendment adjusts consolidated EBITDA to add back fees, costs or expenses relating to the TXI business combination incurred on or prior to the closing of the combination not to exceed $95,000,000; any integration or similar costs or expenses related to the TXI business combination incurred in any period prior to the second anniversary of the closing of the TXI business combination not to exceed $70,000,000; and any make-whole fees incurred in connection with the redemption of TXI’s 9.25% senior notes due 2020. The amendment also temporarily increases the maximum Ratio to 3.75x at September 30, 2014. The Corporation was in compliance with this Ratio at September 30, 2014. The Ratio returns to the pre-amendment maximum of 3.50x for the December 31, 2014 calculation date.

Available borrowings under the Revolving Facility are reduced by any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Corporation under the Revolving Facility. At September 30, 2014, the Corporation had $2,507,000 of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes the unamortized value of terminated forward starting interest rate swap agreements. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Corporation recognized $300,000 and $883,000, respectively, as additional interest expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Corporation recognized $279,000 and $823,000, respectively, as additional interest expense. The ongoing amortization of the terminated value of the forward starting interest rate swap agreements will increase annual interest expense by approximately $1,200,000 until the maturity of the 6.6% Senior Notes in 2018.

 

6. Financial Instruments

The Corporation’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, bank overdraft, accounts payable, publicly-registered long-term notes, debentures and other long-term debt.

Cash equivalents are placed primarily in money market funds, money market demand deposit accounts and Eurodollar time deposits. The Corporation’s cash equivalents have maturities of less than three months. Due to the short maturity of these investments, they are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at cost, which approximates fair value.

6. Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Accounts receivables are due from a large number of customers, primarily in the construction industry, and are dispersed across wide geographic and economic regions. However, accounts receivables are more heavily concentrated in certain states (namely, Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, Iowa and Georgia). The estimated fair values of customer receivables approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of the receivables.

Notes receivable are primarily promissory notes with customers and are not publicly traded. Management estimates that the fair value of notes receivable approximates the carrying amount.

The bank overdraft represents amounts to be funded to financial institutions for checks that have cleared the bank. The estimated fair value of the bank overdraft approximates its carrying value.

Accounts payable represent amounts owed to suppliers and vendors. The estimated fair value of accounts payable approximates its carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of the payables.

The carrying values and fair values of the Corporation’s long-term debt were $1,618,275,000 and $1,707,920,000, respectively, at September 30, 2014; $1,030,921,000 and $1,068,324,000, respectively, at December 31, 2013; and $1,113,361,000 and $1,152,906,000, respectively, at September 30, 2013. The estimated fair value of the publicly-registered long-term notes was estimated based on Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy using quoted market prices. The fair value of the Notes was based on Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy using quoted market prices for similar debt instruments. The estimated fair value of other borrowings, which primarily represents variable-rate debt, approximates its carrying amount as the interest rates reset periodically.

 

7. Income Taxes

 

    Nine Months Ended September 30,  
    2014     2013  

Estimated effective income tax rate:

   

Continuing operations

    39.7     25.9
 

 

 

   

 

 

 

Discontinued operations

    27.6     35.6
 

 

 

   

 

 

 

Consolidated overall

    39.7     25.8
 

 

 

   

 

 

 

The Corporation’s effective income tax rate reflects the effect of federal and state income taxes and the impact of differences in book and tax accounting arising from the net permanent benefits associated with the statutory depletion deduction for mineral reserves, the impact of foreign losses for which no tax benefit was realized and the domestic production deduction. The effective income tax rates for discontinued operations reflect the tax effects of individual operations’ transactions and are not indicative of the Corporation’s overall effective income tax rate.

7. Income Taxes (continued)

 

The increase in the effective income tax rate in 2014 reflects the impact of goodwill written off as part of a divestiture that is not deductible for income tax purposes. Additionally, certain business development and acquisition integration expenses are only partially deductible for income tax purposes.

On September 13, 2013, the U.S. Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations addressing costs incurred in acquiring, producing or improving tangible property (the “tangible property regulations”). The tangible property regulations required the Corporation to make additional tax accounting method changes as of January 1, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the Corporation estimated the tax impact of the regulatory change and recorded an increase in noncurrent deferred tax liabilities in the amount of $1,334,000, with a corresponding reduction in current taxes payable.

The Corporation’s unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, correlative effects and indirect benefits, are as follows:

 

     Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2014
 
     (Dollars in Thousands)  

Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of period

   $ 11,826   

Gross increases – tax positions in prior years

     1,898   

Gross decreases – tax positions in prior years

     (204

Gross increases – tax positions in current year

     1,418   

Gross increases as a result of lapse of statute of limitations

     4,442   

Gross decreases as a result of lapse of statute of limitations

     (6,314

Increases – uncertain tax positions assumed in connection with an acquisition

     5,963   
  

 

 

 

Unrecognized tax benefits at end of period

   $ 19,029   
  

 

 

 

In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 740, Income Taxes, $5,300,000 of the $5,963,000 of uncertain tax positions assumed in connection with an acquisition is recorded as a reduction of the deferred tax asset for net operating losses.

The Corporation records interest accrued in relation to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, are recorded as operating expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings.

The Corporation anticipates that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease up to $8,530,000, excluding indirect benefits, during the twelve months ending September 30, 2015 as a result of expected settlements with taxing authorities and the expiration of the foreign and domestic statute of limitations for the 2010 and 2011 tax years.

7. Income Taxes (continued)

 

At September 30, 2014, unrecognized tax benefits of $9,083,000 related to interest accruals and permanent income tax differences, net of federal tax benefits, would have favorably affected the Corporation’s effective income tax rate if recognized.

The Corporation’s open tax years subject to federal, foreign or state examinations are 2009 through 2013.

 

8. Pension and Postretirement Benefits

As part of the TXI acquisition, the Corporation assumed three defined benefit plans, including two pension plans and one postretirement plan. Inclusive of the TXI plans, the Corporation estimates that calendar-year 2014 contributions to the pension plans will be approximately $25,500,000, of which $1,380,000 will be contributed in the quarter ending December 31, 2014. The expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes the cost for TXI employees from the acquisition date, July 1, 2014, to September 30, 2014. The termination benefit cost represents certain change-in-control provisions that provide enhanced benefits related to former TXI executives. The estimated components of the recorded net periodic benefit cost (credit) for pension and postretirement benefits are as follows:

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal and Administrative Proceedings

The Corporation is engaged in certain legal and administrative proceedings incidental to its normal business activities. In the opinion of management and counsel, based upon currently-available facts, it is remote that the ultimate outcome of any litigation and other proceedings, including those pertaining to environmental matters, relating to the Corporation and its subsidiaries, will have a material adverse effect on the overall results of the Corporation’s operations, its cash flows or its financial position.

Environmental and Governmental Regulations

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) includes the lime industry as a national enforcement priority under the federal Clean Air Act (“CAA”). As part of the industry wide effort, the EPA issued Notices of Violation/Findings of Violation (“NOVs”) to the Corporation in 2010 and 2011 regarding the Corporation’s compliance with the CAA New Source Review (“NSR”) program at its Specialty Products dolomitic lime manufacturing plant in Woodville, Ohio. The Corporation has been providing information to the EPA in response to these NOVs and has had several meetings with the EPA. The Corporation believes it is in substantial compliance with the NSR program. At this time, the Corporation cannot reasonably estimate what likely penalties or upgrades to equipment might ultimately be required. The Corporation believes that any costs related to any upgrades to capital equipment will be spread over time and will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or its financial condition, but can give no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Specialty Products segment of the business.

Borrowing Arrangements with Affiliate

The Corporation is a co-borrower with an unconsolidated affiliate for a $24,000,000 revolving line of credit agreement with Fifth Third Bank. The affiliate has agreed to reimburse and indemnify the Corporation for any payments and expenses the Corporation may incur from this agreement. The Corporation holds a lien on the affiliate’s membership interest in a joint venture as collateral for payment under the revolving line of credit.

In September 2013, the Corporation loaned $3,402,000 to this unconsolidated affiliate to repay in full the outstanding balance of the affiliate’s loan with Bank of America, N.A. and entered into a loan agreement with the affiliate for monthly repayment of principal and interest of that loan amount through May 2016. The Corporation holds a lien on the affiliate’s property as collateral for payment under the loan and security agreement. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the amount due from the affiliate related to this loan was $1,605,000 and $2,984,000, respectively.

In addition, the Corporation has a $6,000,000 outstanding loan due from this unconsolidated affiliate as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

10. Business Segments

The Aggregates business contains three reportable business segments: Mid-America Group, Southeast Group and West Group. The Corporation also has Cement and Specialty Products segments.

The following tables display selected financial data for continuing operations for the Corporation’s reportable business segments. Corporate loss from operations primarily includes depreciation on capitalized interest, expenses for corporate administrative functions, business development and integration expenses, unallocated corporate expenses and other nonrecurring and/or non-operational adjustments. Intersegment sales represent net sales from one segment to another segment. Total revenues and net sales in the table below, as well as the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings, do not include intersegment sales as these sales are eliminated.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2014

 

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

OVERVIEW Martin Marietta (the “Corporation”) is a leading supplier of aggregates products (crushed stone, sand and gravel) and heavy building materials for the construction industry, including infrastructure, nonresidential, residential, railroad, ballast, agricultural and chemical grade stone used in environmental applications. The Corporation’s annual consolidated net sales and operating earnings are predominately derived from its Aggregates business, which mines, processes and sells granite, limestone, sand, gravel and other aggregates-related downstream business, including asphalt, ready mixed concrete and road paving construction services for use in all sectors of the public infrastructure, environmental industries, nonresidential and residential construction industries, as well as agriculture, railroad ballast, chemical, utility and other uses. The Aggregates business shipped and delivered aggregates, asphalt products and ready mixed concrete from a network of approximately 420 quarries, underground mines, distribution facilities and plants to customers in 30 states, Canada, the Bahamas and the Caribbean Islands. The Aggregates business’ products are used primarily by commercial customers principally in domestic construction of highways and other infrastructure projects and for nonresidential and residential building development. Aggregates products are also used in the railroad, agricultural, utility and environmental industries.

The Corporation currently conducts its Aggregates business through three reportable business segments: Mid-America Group, Southeast Group and West Group.

The Cement business produces Portland and specialty cements, such as masonry and oil well cements. Similar to the Aggregates business, cement is used in infrastructure projects, nonresidential and residential construction, and the railroad, agricultural, utility and environmental industries. The production facilities are located in Midlothian, Texas, south of Dallas/Fort Worth; Hunter, Texas, between Austin and San Antonio; and Oro Grande, California, near Los Angeles. The limestone reserves used as a raw material are located on property, owned by the Corporation, adjacent to each of the plants. The Corporation also operates a cement terminal and packaging facility at the Crestmore plant near Riverside, California, and operates its Portland cement grinding facility on an as needed basis. The cement facilities have total annual capacity of 6.6 million tons. In addition to the manufacturing and packaging facilities, the Corporation operates eight cement distribution terminals.

The Corporation also has a Specialty Products segment that produces magnesia-based chemicals products used in industrial, agricultural and environmental applications and dolomitic lime sold primarily to customers in the steel industry.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Corporation outlined its critical accounting policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. During 2014, the purchase price allocation for acquisitions was added as a critical accounting policy.

The Corporation’s Board of Directors and management regularly review strategic long-term plans, including potential investments in value-added acquisitions of related or similar businesses, which would increase the Corporation’s market share and/or are related to the Corporation’s existing markets. When an acquisition is completed, the Corporation’s consolidated statement of earnings includes the operating results of the acquired business starting from the date of acquisition, which is the date that control is obtained. The purchase price is determined based on the fair value of assets and equity interests given to the seller as of the date of acquisition. Additionally, the conversion of the seller’s equity awards can affect the purchase price. The Corporation allocates the purchase price to the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as valued at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recorded for the excess of the purchase price over the net of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation is a critical accounting policy because the estimation of fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities is judgmental and requires various assumptions. Further, the amounts and useful lives assigned to depreciable and amortizable assets versus amounts assigned to goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, which are not amortized, can significantly affect the results of operations in the period of and in periods subsequent to a business combination.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction, and, therefore, represents an exit price. A fair value measurement assumes the highest and best use of the asset by market participants, considering the use of the asset that is physically possible, legally permissible, and financially feasible at the measurement date. The Corporation assigns the highest level of fair value available to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the following options:

 

    Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

(Continued)

 

    Level 2 – Observable inputs, other than quoted prices, for similar assets or liabilities in active markets

 

    Level 3 – Unobservable inputs are used to value the asset or liability. This includes the use of valuation models

Level 1 fair values are used to value investments in publicly-traded entities and assumed obligations for publicly-traded long-term debt.

Level 2 fair values are typically used to value acquired receivables, inventories, machinery and equipment, land, buildings, deferred taxes, and accruals for payables, asset retirement obligations, environmental remediation and compliance obligations, and contingencies. Additionally, Level 2 fair values are typically used to value assumed contracts that are not at market rates.

Level 3 fair values are used to value acquired mineral reserves and mineral interests produced and sold as final products, and separately-identifiable intangible assets. The fair values of mineral reserves and mineral interests produced and sold as final products are determined using an excess earnings approach, which requires management to estimate future cash flows, net of capital investments in the specific operation and contributory asset charges. The estimate of future cash flows is based on available historical information and on future expectations and assumptions determined by management, but is inherently uncertain. Key assumptions in estimating future cash flows include sales price, shipment volumes, production costs and capital needs. The present value of the projected net cash flows represents the fair value assigned to mineral reserves and mineral interests. The discount rate is a significant assumption used in the valuation model. The rate is based on the required rate of return that a hypothetical market participant would require if purchasing the acquired business combination, with an adjustment for the risk of these assets generating the projected cash flows.

The Corporation values separately-identifiable acquired intangible assets which may include, but are not limited to, permits, customer relationships, water rights and noncompetition agreements. The fair values of these assets are typically determined by an excess earnings method, a replacement cost method or, in the case of water rights, a market approach.

The useful lives of amortizable intangible assets and the remaining useful lives for acquired machinery and equipment has a significant impact on earnings. The selected lives are based on the periods that the assets provide value to the Corporation subsequent to the business combination.

The Corporation may adjust the amounts recognized for a business combination during a measurement period after the acquisition date. Any such adjustments are based on the Corporation obtaining additional information that existed at the acquisition date regarding the assets acquired or the liabilities assumed. Measurement period adjustments are generally recorded as increases or decreases to the goodwill recognized in the transaction. These adjustments are applied retroactively to the date of acquisition and reported retrospectively. These adjustments could have a material impact on the Corporation’s financial position and results of operations. The measurement period ends once the Corporation has obtained all necessary information that existed as of the acquisition date, but does not extend beyond one year from the date of acquisition. Any adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed beyond the measurement period are recorded in earnings.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

On July 1, 2014, the Corporation completed the acquisition of Texas Industries, Inc. (“TXI”), pursuant to which TXI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation.

TXI was the largest supplier of construction aggregates, ready mixed concrete and concrete products in Texas as well as the largest producer of cement in Texas and a major cement producer in California. The combination expands the Corporation’s geographic footprint and positions the Corporation to benefit from the strength of the combined aggregates platform.

The Corporation acquired three cement production facilities, eight cement distribution terminals, and one cement packaging facility. For additional information on the cement business, refer to the Overview section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis section on page 35. In addition to the cement plants, the Corporation acquired approximately 120 ready mixed concrete plants, situated primarily in three areas in Texas (the Dallas/Fort Worth/Denton area of north Texas; the Austin area of central Texas; and from Beaumont to Texarkana in east Texas), in north and central Louisiana, and in southwestern Arkansas. The Corporation also acquired nine quarries and six aggregates distribution terminals located in Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. The aggregates and ready mixed concrete operations are reported in the Corporation’s West Group.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Except as indicated, the comparative analysis in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflects results from continuing operations and is based on net sales and cost of sales. Gross margin and operating margin calculated as percentages of total revenues represent the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, gross margin as a percentage of net sales and

operating margin as a percentage of net sales represent non-GAAP measures. The Corporation presents these ratios calculated based on net sales, as it is consistent with the basis by which management reviews the Corporation’s operating results. Further, management believes it is consistent with the basis by which investors analyze the Corporation’s operating results given that freight and delivery revenues and costs represent pass-throughs and have no profit mark-up. The following tables present the calculations of gross margin and operating margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the ratios as percentages of total revenues to percentages of net sales:

Impact of Acquisition-Related Expenses, Net

Adjusted consolidated earnings from operations and adjusted earnings per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, exclude the impact of business development and acquisition integration expenses related to the TXI acquisition and the nonrecurring gain on divestitures required by the Department of Justice as a result of the TXI acquisition (“acquisition-related expenses, net, related to the TXI acquisition”), and represent non-GAAP financial measures. Management presents these measures for investors and analysts to evaluate and forecast the Corporation’s financial results, as acquisition-related expenses, net, related to the TXI acquisition are nonrecurring.

was strongest in the West Group, notably in Texas and Colorado, which continue to benefit from strong state Department of Transportation programs. Highway awards in Texas are up approximately 26% for the trailing-twelve months through August. Infrastructure shipments in Colorado were up 21%, reflecting activity from the Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships, or RAMP, program as well as reconstruction efforts resulting from the historic flooding in 2013.

During the quarter, Congress passed an extension of the provisions of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century, or MAP-21, through May 31, 2015, and authorized an additional $11 billion of transfers to maintain solvency of the Highway Trust Fund. The Corporation believes these are the first steps toward full reauthorization of a new multi-year federal highway bill.

The nonresidential market represented 30% of quarterly shipments and increased 3%, driven largely by energy-sector shipments. The Corporation continues to benefit from the nation’s increasing investment in shale energy, particularly in South Texas. The Corporation believes this trend will continue, driven by $100 billion of anticipated energy projects along the Gulf Coast, including a significant portion in Texas, as well as anticipated infrastructure repairs in South Texas. Proposition 1, a November 2014 constitutional ballot amendment in Texas, would authorize annual disbursements from the state’s oil and gas production tax collections to the State Highway Fund, with an estimated $1.7 billion transferred in the first year, if approved by voters.

The residential end-use market accounted for 14% of quarterly shipments, and volumes to this market increased 9%. The overall rate of residential growth has slowed, in part due to a reduction in available lot inventory. However, the Corporation continues to experience significant growth in certain markets and expects an increase in aggregates-intensive subdivision development. The ChemRock/Rail market accounted for the remaining 9% of volumes and decreased 9%, reflecting a reduction in ballast and agricultural lime shipments, principally in the West Group and Mid-America Group, respectively.

Geographically, heritage aggregates shipments for the West and Mid-America Groups increased 5% and 2%, respectively. As has been the trend in recent quarters, economic activity in the West Group is stronger than the other groups, with infrastructure, nonresidential and residential building each contributing to growing construction activity. Further, West Group shipments include the effect of facilities divested as part of the TXI acquisition; shipments would have increased over 9% excluding this effect. Mid-America growth was constrained by unseasonably wet weather in addition to slower economic recovery in certain areas of North Carolina. Volumes in the Southeast Group were relatively flat, with growth in North Georgia being offset by declines in Florida and Alabama. The improvement in North Georgia coincides with Atlanta’s metro area job growth ranking 8th in the country. Florida was recently ranked third in total job growth behind only Texas and California and should benefit from an increased emphasis on infrastructure, most visible in the TIFIA-supported I-4 Ultimate Project in central Florida, expected to begin in 2015.

Heritage aggregates product line pricing remains strong and increased in each reportable group, led by an 8.3% improvement in the West Group. The Mid-America Group and Southeast Group achieved pricing increases of 3.7% and 5.5%, respectively.

The Corporation’s aggregates-related downstream product lines include asphalt, ready mixed concrete and road paving businesses in Arkansas, Colorado, Texas and Wyoming.

The heritage ready mixed concrete product line reported volume and pricing improvements of 17% and 14%, respectively, leading to an 840-basis-point improvement in the heritage product line’s gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues). The heritage hot mixed asphalt product line reported a 13% increase in net sales.

Heritage aggregates product line production increased 4% in response to greater demand. Direct production cost per ton grew slightly as increased leveraging of fixed costs was offset by higher repair and supply costs and weather constraints in certain areas. Further, freight costs increased for transfers of materials within the Corporation’s long-haul distribution network, notably driven by rail inefficiencies, car availability and track congestion. The increased repair, supply and freight costs added $12.7 million increase in cost of sales for the quarter and limited margin expansion for the heritage Aggregates business.

The Aggregates business is significantly affected by erratic weather patterns, seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions. Production and shipment levels for aggregates, asphalt, ready mixed concrete and road paving materials correlate with general construction activity levels, most of which occurs in the spring, summer and fall. Thus, production and shipment levels vary by quarter. Operations concentrated in the northern and midwestern United States generally experience more severe winter weather conditions than operations in the Southeast and Southwest. Excessive rainfall, and conversely excessive drought, can also jeopardize shipments, production and profitability in all markets served by the Corporation. Because of the potentially significant impact of weather on the Corporation’s operations, current period and year to date results are not indicative of expected performance for other interim periods or the full year.

Cement Business

The cement business contributed $110 million of net sales and achieved gross profit of $27.9 million, excluding the impact of the fair value write up of acquired inventory. The gross margin was suppressed by a $3.7 million increase in cost of sales of acquired inventory, which was marked up to fair value as part of accounting for the TXI acquisition.

Cement shipments for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were (tons in thousands):

 

Tons to external customers

     1,272   

Internal tons used in other product lines

     253   
  

 

 

 

Total cement tons

     1,525   
  

 

 

 

For comparative purposes, for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, cement tons shipped or used in other product lines increased 16% compared with the three months ended August 31, 2013, a period prior to the Corporation’s ownership of these operations.

Average selling price per-ton for the cement operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $85.95.

The cement business is operating in a sold-out market in Texas. Plant capacity varies between 75% and 85% for plants in Texas and 70% and 75% in California. The recently-assembled Cement group leadership team, in collaboration with the Corporation’s aggregates and ready mixed teams, has developed strategic plans regarding interplant efficiencies, as well as, tactical plans addressing plant utilization and efficiency, providing a road map for significantly improved profitability for 2015 and beyond.

Specialty Products Business

Specialty Products continued to deliver strong performance and generated third-quarter record net sales of $58.7 million, an increase of 5.2%. Growth was primarily attributable to steel utilization of 77%, continued growth in the chemicals product line and increased periclase sales. The business’ gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) of 34.2% was negatively affected by higher natural gas costs and planned kiln outages. Third-quarter earnings from operations were $17.7 million compared with $17.3 million in the prior-year quarter.

Consolidated Operating Results

The heritage aggregates product line leveraged increased shipments and a higher average selling price to expand its gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) by 70 basis points. On an overall basis, the Corporation’s consolidated gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) was 21.3% for 2014 compared to 23.8% for 2013.

* Gross profit for acquisitions reflects a $10.9 million one-time increase in cost of sales related to the write-up of acquired inventory at the acquisition date, which includes $7.2 million for aggregates product line and 3.7 million for cement.

The heritage gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) for the quarter was 25.1%, a 130-basis-point improvement compared with the prior-year quarter for heritage.

Consolidated SG&A was 5.3% of net sales compared with 6.2% in the prior-year quarter. The reduction of 90 basis points reflects transaction synergies, lower pension expense, and the absence of information systems upgrade costs incurred in 2013.

During the quarter and in accordance with the Corporation’s agreement with the Department of Justice to obtain regulatory approval for the acquisition, the Corporation divested its North Troy aggregates quarry in Oklahoma and two rail yards located in Dallas and Frisco, Texas. The Corporation recognized a pretax gain on the divestiture which is included in Earnings (loss) from Operations Heritage West Group.

Among other items, other operating income and expenses, net, includes gains and losses on the sale of assets; recoveries and writeoffs related to customer accounts receivable; rental, royalty and services

income; accretion expense, depreciation expense and gains and losses related to asset retirement obligations. For the third quarter, consolidated other operating income and expenses, net, was expense of $5.1 million in 2014 compared with income of $3.0 million in 2013. Third quarter 2014 included a nonrecurring pretax gain on a divestiture.

The Corporation currently expects its effective income tax rate for full-year 2014 to approximate 39%, which is higher than the Corporation’s historical rate. The estimated effective income tax rate, excluding the TXI transaction effects, would have been 29%. The rate change reflects the tax impact of the TXI transaction, including the limited deductibility of certain acquisition-related expenses and the non-deductibility of the goodwill written off as part of the required divestiture. These factors were partially offset by the income tax benefits resulting from the exercise of converted stock awards issued to former TXI personnel. As a result of the increase in the estimated annual income tax rate, the rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, which reflects the catch-up of the annual rate and TXI-related discrete items, was 45%. Cash taxes for the full year are expected to be $13.1 million after consideration of deferred taxes and the utilization of an estimated $84 million of TXI’s NOL carryforwards.

Consolidated SG&A expenses were 6.3% of net sales, down 150 basis points compared with the prior-year period, reflecting transaction synergies, lower pension expense, and the absence of information systems upgrade costs incurred in 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Corporation incurred $89.1 million of acquisition-related expenses, net.

For the nine months, consolidated other operating income and expenses, net, was expense of $0.3 million in 2014 compared with income of $5.5 million in 2013.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $201.6 million compared with $165.6 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to higher earnings before depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Operating cash flow is primarily derived from consolidated net earnings before deducting depreciation, depletion and amortization, and the impact of changes in working capital. Depreciation, depletion and amortization were as follows:

The increase in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense is attributable to the acquired property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets from the TXI business combination. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the acquired business was $24.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

The seasonal nature of the construction aggregates business impacts quarterly operating cash flow when compared with the full year. Full-year 2013 net cash provided by operating activities was $309.0 million compared with $165.6 million for the first nine months of 2013.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Corporation invested $138.6 million of capital into its business. Full-year capital spending is expected to be approximately $220 million to $230 million, inclusive of TXI. Comparable full-year capital expenditures were $155.2 million in 2013.

During 2014, the Corporation acquired the remaining interest in two joint ventures in separate transactions. Net cash paid for both transactions was $19,480,000.

The Corporation can repurchase its common stock through open-market purchases pursuant to authority granted by its Board of Directors or through private transactions at such prices and upon such terms as the Chief Executive Officer deems appropriate. The Corporation did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. At September 30, 2014, 5,042,000 shares of common stock were remaining under the Corporation’s repurchase authorization.

In connection with the TXI acquisition, the Corporation completed a private offering of $700 million of senior unsecured notes, which closed in early July, and amended its trade receivable securitization facility to increase available funding by $100 million to maximum borrowings of $250 million, subject to the level of trade receivables. The private offering included $300 million of three-year variable-rate senior notes and $400 million of 4.25% ten-year senior notes. The Corporation used the net proceeds from the offering, along with cash on hand and incremental drawings on the trade receivable securitization facility, to redeem $650 million of 9.25% notes due in 2020 assumed with TXI plus a make-whole premium and accrued unpaid interest. This refinancing is expected to reduce interest expense by $34 million on an annual basis based on current interest rates as compared with TXI’s financing costs. See Note 5 of the notes to the financial statements for further discussion of the senior unsecured notes and the trade receivable securitization facility.

The Corporation assumed various contractual commitments from the TXI acquisition, including operating leases, purchase obligations and capital leases and service contracts. Additionally, the Corporation issued $700 million of Notes during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The following list represents the future commitments. The interest assumes the $400 million of 4.250% ten-year Senior Notes remain outstanding until their stated maturity and the $300 million of variable-rate Senior Notes bear interest throughout their term at the current rate of 1.34%.

The Credit Agreement (which consists of a $250 million Term Loan Facility and a $350 million Revolving Facility) requires the Corporation’s ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), as defined, for the trailing twelve month period (the “Ratio”) to not exceed 3.50x as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Corporation may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions for a period of 180 days so long as the Corporation, as a consequence of such specified acquisition, does not have its ratings on long-term unsecured debt fall below BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Baa2 by Moody’s and the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 3.75x. Additionally, if there are no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility, consolidated debt, including debt for which the Corporation is a co-borrower, will be reduced for purposes of the covenant calculation by the Corporation’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50 million, such reduction not to exceed $200 million.

The Ratio is calculated as debt, including debt for which the Corporation is a co-borrower, divided by consolidated EBITDA, as defined, for the trailing twelve months. Consolidated EBITDA is generally defined as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for continuing operations. Additionally, stock-based compensation expense is added back and interest income is deducted in the calculation of consolidated EBITDA. Certain other nonrecurring noncash items, if they occur, can affect the calculation of consolidated EBITDA.

Effective June 23, 2014, the Corporation amended the Credit Agreement to ensure the impact of the business combination with TXI does not impair liquidity available under the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Facility. The amendment adjusts consolidated EBITDA to add back fees, costs or expenses relating to the TXI business combination incurred on or prior to the closing of the combination not to exceed $95,000,000; any integration or similar costs or expenses related to the TXI business combination incurred in any period prior to the second anniversary of the closing of the TXI business combination not to exceed $70,000,000; and any make-whole fees incurred in connection with the redemption of TXI’s 9.25% senior notes due 2020. The amendment also temporarily increases the maximum Ratio to 3.75x at September 30, 2014. The Ratio returns to the pre-amendment maximum of 3.50x for the December 31, 2014 calculation date.

The Trade Receivable Facility contains a cross-default provision to the Corporation’s other debt agreements. In the event of a default on the Ratio, the lenders can terminate the Credit Agreement and Trade Receivable Facility and declare any outstanding balances as immediately due.

Cash on hand, along with the Corporation’s projected internal cash flows and availability of financing resources, including its access to debt and equity capital markets, is expected to continue to be sufficient to provide the capital resources necessary to support anticipated operating needs, cover debt service requirements, meet capital expenditures and discretionary investment needs, fund certain acquisition opportunities that may arise and allow for payment of dividends for the foreseeable future. At September 30, 2014, the Corporation had $570 million of unused borrowing capacity under its Revolving Facility and Trade Receivable Facility, subject to complying with the related leverage covenant. The Revolving Facility expires on November 29, 2018 and the Trade Receivable Facility expires on September 30, 2016.

The Corporation may be required to obtain financing to fund certain strategic acquisitions, if any such opportunities arise, or to refinance outstanding debt. Any strategic acquisition of size for cash would likely require an appropriate balance of newly-issued equity with debt in order to maintain a composite investment-grade credit rating. Furthermore, the Corporation is exposed to the credit markets, through the interest cost related to its variable-rate debt, which included borrowings under its Term Loan Facility, Trade Receivable Facility and Floating Rate Notes at September 30, 2014. The Corporation is currently rated by three credit rating agencies; two of those agencies’ credit ratings are investment-grade level and the third agency’s credit rating is one level below investment grade. The Corporation’s composite credit rating remains at investment-grade level, which facilitates obtaining financing at lower rates than noninvestment-grade ratings.

TRENDS AND RISKS The Corporation outlined the risks associated with its business in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Management continues to evaluate its exposure to all operating risks on an ongoing basis. Listed below are risks related to the acquired cement business.

Federal Climate Change Regulations. In May 2010, the EPA issued a final rule that requires the Corporation to incorporate best available GHG control technology in any new cement plant that the Corporation proposes to build and in its existing cement plants when a proposal to modify them in a manner that would increase GHG emissions (in our case, principally carbon dioxide emissions) by more than 75,000 tons per year.

No technologies or methods of operation for reducing or capturing GHGs such as carbon dioxide have been proven successful in large scale applications other than improvements in fuel efficiency. In the event the Corporation proposes to modify a plant in a way that would trigger the new rules, the Corporation does not currently know what the EPA will require as best available control technology for the Corporation’s cement plants or what conditions it will require to be added to the operating permits. Therefore, at this time, it is impossible to predict what the ultimate cost or effect of the EPA’s GHG rules will be on the cement business.

Cement Imports. The cement industry has in the past obtained antidumping orders imposing duties on imports of cement and clinker from other countries that violated U.S. fair trade laws. Currently, an antidumping order against cement and clinker from Japan will expire in 2016 unless it is extended by the Federal Trade Commission. As has always been the case, cement operators with import facilities can purchase cement from other countries, such as those in Latin America and Asia, which could compete with domestic producers. In addition, if environmental regulations increase the costs of domestic producers compared to foreign producers that are not subject to similar regulations, imported cement could achieve a significant cost advantage over domestically produced cement. An influx of cement or clinker products from countries not subject to antidumping orders, or sales of imported cement or clinker in violation of U.S. fair trade laws, could adversely affect the Corporation.

OUTLOOK

The Corporation is encouraged by positive trends in its business and markets, notably:

 

    Nonresidential construction is expected to grow in both the heavy industrial and commercial sectors. The commercial building sector is expected to benefit from improved market fundamentals, such as higher occupancies and rents, strengthened property values and increased real estate lending.

 

    Shale development and related follow-on public and private construction activities are anticipated to remain strong.

 

    Residential construction should continue to grow, driven by historically low levels of construction activity over the previous several years together with low mortgage rates, higher multi-family rental rates and rising housing prices and reductions in existing home and lot inventory. Total annual housing starts are anticipated to exceed one million units for the first time since 2007 and aggregates-intensive subdivision development should continue.

 

    For the public sector, authorized highway funding from MAP-21 should increase slightly compared with 2013. Additionally, state initiatives to finance infrastructure projects are expected to grow and continue to play an expanded role in public-sector activity.

Based on these trends and expectations, the Corporation anticipates the following for 2014:

 

    Heritage aggregates end-use markets compared to 2013 levels:

 

    infrastructure shipments to increase slightly

 

    nonresidential shipments to increase in the high-single digits

 

    residential shipments to experience double-digit growth

 

    ChemRock/Rail shipments to increase in the mid-to-high single digits.

 

    Heritage aggregates product line shipments to increase by 6% to 8% compared with 2013 levels.

 

    Heritage aggregates product line pricing to increase by 3% to 5% for the year compared with 2013.

 

    Heritage aggregates product line direct production cost per ton to remain relatively flat.

 

    Heritage aggregates-related downstream product lines to generate between $375 million and $385 million of net sales and $35 million to $40 million of gross profit.

 

    Heritage SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales to decline compared with 2013, driven in part by $7.9 million of nonrecurring costs related primarily to the 2013 completion of the Corporation’s information systems upgrade, as well as, lower pension costs.

 

    Net sales for the Specialty Products segment to be between $225 million and $235 million, generating $85 million to $90 million of gross profit.

 

    Interest expense to approximate $65 million.

 

    Estimated effective income tax rate to approximate 39%.

 

    Capital expenditures to approximate $220 million to $230 million, which includes TXI operations as well as an increase in heritage operations.

    Operating results from TXI locations are expected to essentially breakeven to earnings per diluted share, excluding nonrecurring costs and corporate overhead allocation.

The Corporation has started framing a preliminary 2015 outlook for its aggregates end-use markets based on its internal observations in conjunction with McGraw Hill Construction’s economic forecast. The acquired TXI aggregates-related businesses will contribute significant incremental growth in 2015, driven in part by the realization of a full year of operations. The Corporation currently expects the following, which are compared with full-year 2014:

 

    Infrastructure market to increase mid-single digits.

 

    Nonresidential market to increase in the high single digits.

 

    Residential market to experience a double-digit increase.

 

    ChemRock/Rail market to remain relatively flat.

The Company’s outlook for the cement industry is largely consistent with Portland Cement Association’s forecast. The cement market is expected to increase in the high-single digits. However, this is not reflective of the synergistic improvements the Company expects to capture.

The full-year 2014 and preliminary 2015 outlook includes management’s assessment of the likelihood of certain risk factors that will affect performance. The most significant risks to the Corporation’s performance will be the integration of TXI and Congress’ actions and timing surrounding federal highway funding and uncertainty over the funding mechanism for the Highway Trust Fund. Further, continued government dysfunction and that impact on consumer confidence may negatively impact investment in construction projects. While both MAP-21 and TIFIA credit assistance are excluded from the U.S. debt ceiling limit, this issue may have a significant impact on the economy and, consequently, construction activity. Other risks related to the Corporation’s future performance include, but are not limited to, both price and volume and include a recurrence of widespread decline in aggregates volume negatively affecting aggregates price; the termination, capping and/or reduction of the federal and/or state gasoline tax(es) or other revenue related to infrastructure construction; a significant change in the funding patterns for traditional federal, state and/or local infrastructure projects; a reduction in defense spending, and the subsequent impact on construction activity on or near military bases; a decline in nonresidential construction, a decline in energy-related drilling activity resulting from certain regulatory or economic factors, a slowdown in the residential construction recovery, or some combination thereof; a reduction in economic activity in the Corporation’s Midwest states resulting from reduced funding levels provided by the Agricultural Act of 2014 and declining coal traffic on the railroads; an increase in the cost of compliance with governmental laws and regulations; unexpected equipment failures, unscheduled maintenance, industrial accident or other prolonged and/or significant disruption to our cement production facilities; and the possibility that expected synergies and operating efficiencies in connection with the TXI acquisition are not realized within the expected time-frames or at all. Further, increased highway construction funding pressures resulting from either federal or state issues can affect profitability. If these negatively affect transportation budgets more than in the past, construction spending could be reduced. Cement is

subject to cyclical supply and demand and price fluctuations. The Specialty Products business essentially runs at capacity; therefore any unplanned changes in costs or realignment of customers introduce volatility to the earnings of this segment.

The Corporation’s principal business serves customers in aggregates-related and heavy building construction markets. This concentration could increase the risk of potential losses on customer receivables; however, payment bonds normally posted on public projects, together with lien rights on private projects, help to mitigate the risk of uncollectible receivables. The level of aggregates demand in the Corporation’s end-use markets, production levels and the management of production costs will affect the operating leverage of the Aggregates business and, therefore, profitability. Production costs in the Aggregates business are also sensitive to energy and raw material prices, both directly and indirectly. Diesel fuel and other consumables change production costs directly through consumption or indirectly by increased energy-related input costs, such as steel, explosives, tires and conveyor belts. Fluctuating diesel fuel pricing also affects transportation costs, primarily through fuel surcharges in the Corporation’s long-haul distribution network. The Cement business is also energy intensive and fluctuations in the price of coal affects costs. The Specialty Products business is sensitive to changes in domestic steel capacity utilization and the absolute price and fluctuations in the cost of natural gas.

Transportation in the Corporation’s long-haul network, particularly the supply of rail cars and locomotive power and condition of rail infrastructure to move trains, affects the Corporation’s ability to efficiently transport aggregate into certain markets, most notably Texas, Florida and the Gulf Coast. In addition, availability of rail cars and locomotives affects the Corporation’s ability to move dolomitic lime, a key raw material for magnesia chemicals, to both the Corporation’s plant in Manistee, Michigan, and customers. The availability of trucks, drivers and railcars to transport the Corporation’s product, particularly in markets experiencing high growth and increased demand, is also a risk and pressures the associated costs.

The Aggregates and Specialty Products businesses are also subject to weather-related risks that can significantly affect production schedules and profitability. The first and fourth quarters are most adversely affected by winter weather. Hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf Coast generally is most active during the third and fourth quarters.

Risks to the outlook also include shipment declines as a result of economic events beyond the Corporation’s control. In addition to the impact on nonresidential and residential construction, the Corporation is exposed to risk in its estimated outlook from credit markets and the availability of and interest cost related to its debt.

The Corporation’s future performance is also exposed to risks from tax reform at the federal and state levels.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Corporation’s operations are highly dependent upon the interest rate-sensitive construction and steelmaking industries. Consequently, these marketplaces could experience lower levels of economic activity in an environment of rising interest rates or escalating costs.

Management has considered the current economic environment and its potential impact to the Corporation’s business. Demand for aggregates products, particularly in the infrastructure construction market, has already been negatively affected by federal and state budget and deficit issues and the uncertainty over future highway funding levels beyond the expiration of MAP-21. Further, delays or cancellations to capital projects in the nonresidential and residential construction markets could occur if companies and consumers are unable to obtain financing for construction projects or if consumer confidence continues to be eroded by economic uncertainty.

Demand in the residential construction market is affected by interest rates. The Federal Reserve kept the federal funds rate near zero percent during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, unchanged since 2008. The residential construction market accounted for 14% of the Corporation’s aggregates product line shipments in 2013.

Aside from these inherent risks from within its operations, the Corporation’s earnings are also affected by changes in short-term interest rates. However, rising interest rates are not necessarily predictive of weaker operating results. In fact, since 2007, the Corporation’s profitability increased when interest rates rose, based on the last twelve months quarterly historical net income regression versus a 10-year U.S. government bond. In essence, the Corporation’s underlying business generally serves as a natural hedge to rising interest rates.

Variable-Rate Borrowing Facilities. At September 30, 2014, the Corporation had a $600 million Credit Agreement, comprised of a $350 million Revolving Facility and $250 million Term Loan Facility, and a $250 million Trade Receivable Facility. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at a variable interest rate. A hypothetical 100-basis-point increase in interest rates on borrowings of $269.3 million, which was the collective outstanding balance at September 30, 2014, would increase interest expense by $2.7 million on an annual basis.

Pension Expense. The Corporation’s results of operations are affected by its pension expense. Assumptions that affect pension expense include the discount rate and, for the defined benefit pension plans only, the expected long-term rate of return on assets. Therefore, the Corporation has interest rate risk associated with these factors. The impact of hypothetical changes in these assumptions on the Corporation’s annual pension expense is discussed in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Energy Costs. Energy costs, including diesel fuel, natural gas, coal and liquid asphalt, represent significant production costs of the Corporation. The Corporation does not hedge its diesel fuel price risk. The Specialty Products business has fixed price agreements covering all of its 2014 coal requirements. A hypothetical 10% change in the Corporation’s energy prices in 2014 as compared with 2013, assuming constant volumes, would change 2014 pretax earnings by $19.9 million.

Commodity risk. Cement is a commodity and competition is based principally on price, which is highly sensitive to changes in supply and demand. Prices are often subject to material changes in response to relatively minor fluctuations in supply and demand, general economic conditions and other market conditions beyond the Corporation’s control. Increases in the production capacity of industry participants or increases in cement imports tend to create an oversupply of such products leading to an imbalance between supply and demand, which can have a negative impact on product prices. There can be no assurance that prices for products sold will not decline in the future or that such declines will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Based on third quarter results, the period the Corporation owned the cement business, a hypothetical 10% change in sales price would impact sales by $13.1 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Due to the acquisition with TXI, the Corporation modified internal controls around the consolidations process. As of September 30, 2014, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Corporation’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2014. As permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of its newly-acquired TXI ready mixed concrete and cement operations, which are included in the consolidated financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2014. The excluded assets constituted 18% of consolidated total assets as of September 30, 2014.
