Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Martin Marietta”) is engaged principally in the construction aggregates business. The aggregates product line accounted for 58% of 2014 consolidated net sales and 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 accounted for 25% of 2014 consolidated net sales and include asphalt products, ready mixed concrete and road paving construction services, are sold and shipped from a network of more than 400 quarries, distribution facilities and plants in 26 states, Canada, the Bahamas and the Caribbean Islands. The aggregates and aggregates-related downstream product lines are reported collectively as the “Aggregates business”.

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 was acquired July 1, 2014 and accounted for 8% of 2014 consolidated net sales.  The Cement segment has production facilities located in Midlothian, Texas, south of Dallas/Fort Worth and Hunter, Texas, south of San Antonio.  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 high calcium limestone reserves used as a raw material are a part of owned property adjacent to each of the plants.

The Corporation has a Magnesia Specialties segment with manufacturing facilities in Manistee, Michigan and Woodville, Ohio. The Magnesia Specialties segment, which accounted for 9% of 2014 consolidated net sales, 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. 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, 2014. 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, 2015 are not indicative of the results expected for other interim periods or the full year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 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, 2014.

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 January 1, 2018 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 consolidated results of operations.

Consolidated Comprehensive Earnings/Loss and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Consolidated comprehensive earnings/loss for the Corporation consist of consolidated net earnings or loss; adjustments for the funded status of pension and postretirement benefit plans; foreign currency translation adjustments; and the amortization of the value of terminated forward starting interest rate swap agreements into interest expense, and are presented in the Corporation’s consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings.

Earnings per Common Share

The numerator for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is net earnings/loss from continuing operations attributable to Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. 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, 2015 and 2014, 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.

Disposition of Assets

On September 30, 2015, the Corporation disposed of its California cement operations, which were reported in the Cement segment.  These operations were not in close proximity to other core assets of the Corporation and, unlike other marketplace competitors, were not vertically integrated with ready mixed concrete production.  

The divestiture primarily included a cement plant, two distribution terminals, mobile equipment, intangible assets and inventory.  In accordance with the asset purchase agreement, the liabilities assumed by the purchaser included asset retirement obligations.  The Corporation received proceeds of $420,000,000 and recognized a loss of $25,106,000 on the sale, inclusive of transaction-related accruals, and other disposal-related expenses of $4,782,000, of which $3,603,000 was expensed in the three months ending September 30, 2015 and the remaining portion of the expenses was recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2015.  The loss and related expenses are included in other operating expenses, net, in the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings.

The Corporation, through a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary, has a $250,000,000 trade receivable securitization facility (the “Trade Receivable Facility”), which matures on September 30, 2016.  The Trade Receivable Facility, with SunTrust Bank, Regions Bank, PNC Bank, N.A. 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 $517,404,000, $369,575,000 and $477,535,000 at September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, 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.  Borrowings under the Trade Receivable Facility bear interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 0.7% and are limited to the lesser of the facility limit or the borrowing base, as defined, of $425,733,000, $313,428,000 and $405,904,000 at September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively.  The Trade Receivable Facility contains a cross-default provision to the Corporation’s other debt agreements.

Long-Term Debt (continued) 

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 by the Credit Agreement, 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.

In 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 and 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. The Corporation was in compliance with this Ratio at September 30, 2015.

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, 2015, December 31, 2014 and 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, 2015, the Corporation recognized $318,000 and $942,000, respectively, as additional interest expense. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Corporation recognized $300,000 and $883,000, 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.

Financial Instruments (continued) 

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

Notes receivable are not publicly traded. Management estimates that the fair value of notes receivable approximates the carrying amount due to the short-term nature of the receivables.

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 due to the short-term nature of the overdraft.

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

The carrying values and fair values of the Corporation’s long-term debt were $1,705,152,000 and $1,781,152,000, respectively, at September 30, 2015; $1,585,395,000 and $1,680,584,000, respectively, at December 31, 2014; and $1,618,275,000 and $1,707,920,000, respectively, at September 30, 2014. 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.

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 and the domestic production deduction. The prior year rate reflects the impact of acquisition-related expenses, net, which includes the gain on the required divestiture.  

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.

As of September 30, 2015, the Corporation recorded a $3,176,000 valuation reserve for certain state net operating loss carry forwards, which was driven by the sale of the California cement operations.

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.

Borrowing Arrangements with Affiliate

The Corporation is a co-borrower with an unconsolidated affiliate for a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit agreement with BB&T 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 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. in 2013 and entered into a loan agreement with the affiliate for monthly repayment of principal and interest of that loan amount. The loan was repaid in full during first quarter 2015.  As of December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, the amounts due from the affiliate related to this loan was $1,808,000 and $1,605,000, respectively.

In addition, the Corporation has a $6,000,000 outstanding loan due from this unconsolidated affiliate as of September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014.

Employees

Approximately 10% of the Corporation’s employees are represented by a labor union.  All such employees are hourly employees.  The Corporation maintains collective bargaining agreements relating to the union employees with the Aggregates business and Magnesia Specialties segments.  For the Magnesia Specialties segment located in Manistee, Michigan and Woodville, Ohio, 100% of its hourly employees are represented by labor unions. The Manistee collective bargaining agreement expires in August 2019, and the Woodville collective bargaining agreement expires in May 2018.

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 Magnesia Specialties segments. Corporate loss from operations primarily includes depreciation on capitalized interest, expenses for certain 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.

The assets employed at December 31, 2014 reflect a reclassification of approximately $600 million of goodwill from the Cement segment to the West Group segment compared with the amounts presented in the Segments note (Note O) to the consolidated financial statements in the 2014 Form 10-K.  This correction had no impact on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, or the consolidated statements of earnings (including earnings per diluted share), comprehensive earnings, total equity and cash flows for the year then ended.  Further, goodwill by reportable segment was correctly presented in the Goodwill and Intangible Assets note (Note B) to the 2014 consolidated financial statements.

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

OVERVIEW

Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Martin Marietta”) 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 products, 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 more than 400 quarries, underground mines, distribution facilities and plants in 26 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.

(Continued)

 

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 and Hunter, Texas, between Austin and San Antonio. The limestone reserves used as a raw material are located on property, owned by the Corporation, adjacent to each of the plants. In addition to the manufacturing facilities, the Corporation operates three cement distribution terminals. On September 30, 2015, the Corporation sold its California cement operations.  

The Corporation also has a Magnesia Specialties 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, 2014. There were no changes to the Corporation’s critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

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, 2015 and 2014 in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the ratios as percentages of total revenues to percentages of net sales.

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA) is a widely accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to service and/or incur indebtedness.  EBITDA is not defined by generally accepted accounting principles and, as such, should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings or operating cash flow. Further, adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of the loss on the sale of the California cement operations and other related expenses.

Third-quarter results reflect the considerable earnings power resulting from the continued successful execution of management’s strategic plan and what is believed to be the beginnings of a construction-centric recovery in the Corporation’s geographic markets as evidenced by the growing demand for construction materials and favorable pricing that led to consolidated net sales of more than $1 billion, a milestone for the Corporation.  Continued focus on operational excellence and cost discipline enabled the Corporation to leverage those sales into a 480-basis-point increase in its gross margin, generating a consolidated incremental gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) of 77%.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2015

(Continued)

 

Aggregates product line shipments to the infrastructure market comprised 43% of quarterly volumes and increased 5%. Each reportable group achieved an increase, led by growth of 8% in the West Group.  Major project activity in Texas, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina continues to accelerate, as states take increased responsibility for funding infrastructure investments.  In fact, highway awards for the trailing twelve months through July were at their highest level since 2000, despite federal funding being provided under a Congressional continuing resolution.  The provisions of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century, or MAP-21, have been extended through November 20, 2015.  Management continues to anticipate that Congress will pass and the President will sign a new multi-year bill later this year.  Presently, relevant committees in both the House and Senate have proposed six-year bills that each provide increased funding levels serving to alleviate state-level uncertainty currently hampering the pace of construction activity; this is particularly relevant for rural construction markets.  

The nonresidential market represented 30% of quarterly aggregates product line shipments and were relatively flat.  The light nonresidential component, which includes the commercial sector, increased in each reportable group and reported overall growth of 29%.  This improvement was offset by a decline in the heavy nonresidential component, which includes the industrial and energy sectors. Texas continues to lead the nation in nonresidential construction, with the benefits of multi-year, energy-related projects offsetting direct shipments to the shale fields that are currently lower due to reduced oil prices.  Notwithstanding the challenging commodity price environment, the Corporation continues to expect energy-related activity to remain strong, supported by more than $100 billion of planned projects along the Gulf Coast with a significant portion of these projects in Texas.  On a national scale, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina each rank in the top fifteen in growth (based on dollars invested) in nonresidential construction.

The residential end-use market accounted for 18% of quarterly aggregates product line shipments, and volumes within this market increased 15%.  Nationally, residential starts increased 10% for the trailing twelve months ended September 2015.  Florida and Georgia each rank in the top five states for growth in total residential starts while Texas, Colorado, North Carolina and South Carolina each rank in the top ten states for single-family housing starts. Consistent with the National Association of Homebuilders latest market index in October, the Corporation continues to witness strong residential subdivision development in nearly all of its relevant markets.  The ChemRock/Rail market accounted for the remaining 9% of aggregates product line shipments.  Volumes to this end use increased 7%, attributable to higher ballast shipments.

The average per-ton selling price for the heritage aggregates product line was $11.62 and $11.09 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  Heritage aggregates product line pricing grew in all reportable groups, led by the 5.8% increase in the Southeast Group. The West Group and Mid-America Group reported increases of 5.2% and 4.1%, respectively, with notable improvement in Central and South Texas. Pricing trends reflect mid-year increases in certain markets.  The average per-ton selling price for the acquired aggregates product line was $13.02 and $11.83 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The acquired aggregates product line selling price reflects the impact of higher priced sand and gravel, as well as freight for tons sold through rail yards, which combined accounted for over 70% of shipments.

The heritage ready mixed concrete product line reported a 19% increase in shipments and a 9% increase in average selling price, which led to a 29% increase in net sales and a gross margin expansion of 240-basis-points (excluding freight and delivery revenues).  For the quarter, the legacy TXI ready mixed concrete operations contributed $137 million of net sales, an increase of 8%. The hot mixed asphalt product line reported a slight increase in average selling price and $27 million of net sales.

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.

During the first half of 2015, weather significantly affected the Corporation’s revenues and results of operations.  Namely, severe late winter weather in many markets and the wettest second quarter in Texas in recorded weather history, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”), resulted in the deferral of an estimated $115 million in net sales and $40 million to $50 million in deferred gross profit.  In late September/early October 2015, Hurricane Joaquin sat just offshore of the Bahamas for several days delivering flooding rains.  Across the southeastern United States, a separate Hurricane Joaquin-influenced weather system delivered torrential rains.  Notably, South Carolina, one of the Corporation’s top ten revenue states, experienced over 24 inches of rain over a period of five days.  The Corporation’s operations in South Carolina were significantly affected with one quarry in Columbia completely immersed and another operation damaged by earth movement.  However, these operations are shipping product out of inventory and continue to move materials by rail and offshore through the Corporation’s long-haul network.  The Corporation is self-insured for flood-related losses in its coastal markets and is unable to determine the extent of loss, if any, at this time.  Further, significant rainfall in Texas in late October has hampered production efficiencies.  Depending on the timing and extent of any weather disruptions, shipments may be delayed to later in the year or deferred until the following year.

Cement Business

The Cement business is benefitting from continued strength in Texas markets, where pricing advances are proving more impactful than near-term demand dynamics. Average selling price increased 16.3%, reflective of price increases over the past twelve months coupled with the impact of the expiration of legacy TXI cement contracts with below-market pricing.  The Corporation expects the remainder of the legacy TXI contracts to roll off by the end of the year. For the quarter, the business generated $110.5 million of net sales and $38.2 million of gross profit.  Third-quarter cement gross margin expanded 1,250 basis points to 34.6%, including $5.4 million in planned cement kiln maintenance costs, which are expected to double in the fourth quarter.  

On September 30, 2015, the Corporation sold its California cement operations to CalPortland Cement Company for $420 million.  The Corporation recognized a $25.1 million loss on the sale and incurred an additional $3.6 million of related charges.

Average selling price per-ton for the cement operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $99.95 and $85.95, respectively.

Cement shipments for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were (tons in thousands):

customers realigned their volumes to other suppliers.  Excluding the impact of the sale of the California cement operations, cement shipments declined 4% with half resulting from loss of direct shipments into the energy sector and half from the expiration of certain legacy TXI cement contracts, priced well below the then current market and the well-publicized introduction of new cement capacity in Texas.

The Portland Cement Association, or PCA, forecasts continued favorable supply/demand imbalance in Texas over the next several years.  Further, the PCA currently forecasts growth each year through 2019.  

Magnesia Specialties Business

Magnesia Specialties continued to deliver strong performance and generated third-quarter net sales of $57.3 million and a gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) of 33.9%.  Net sales reflect lower domestic steel production, which is down almost 8% year-to-date versus the comparable period of 2014. Third-quarter earnings from operations were $17.0 million compared with $17.7 million.

Consolidated Operating Results

Consolidated SG&A was 5.5% of net sales compared with 5.3% in the prior-year quarter. The increase reflects higher pension expenses in 2015. During the third quarter of 2015, the Corporation incurred a loss of $25.1 million on the sale of the California Cement business and $3.6 million of related expenses subsequent to the transaction.  Exclusive of these charges, earnings from operations for the quarter were $208.2 million compared with $153.0 million in the prior-year period, which excludes $37.0 million of nonrecurring TXI acquisition-related expenses, net.

Excluding discrete events, the 2015 estimated effective income tax rate for the year-to-date period was 30%, in line with annual guidance. Income tax expense for the third quarter includes a $3.2 million charge to reserve certain state net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards as a result of the California Cement business sale. For the year, the Corporation expects to utilize the $509 million remaining allowable NOL carry forwards acquired with TXI.  The Corporation will have fully utilized the approximately $530 million of NOL carry forwards one-year ahead of planned utilization.

Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2015

(Continued)

 

The consolidated heritage gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) for the quarter was 28.1%, a 300-basis-point improvement compared with the prior-year quarter. The prior-year quarter gross profit was reduced by $10.9 million for the write up of inventory acquired with TXI to fair value at the acquisition date and subsequent sale during the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The decline in heritage Corporate gross profit is attributable to unfavorable charges related to fixed energy contracts where in the prior-year quarter, these contracts did not exist.  

During the quarter, the Corporation incurred acquisition-related expenses of $2.1 million, which is in line with management’s expectations.  Earnings from operations for the quarter were $179.5 million compared with $116.0 million in the prior-year quarter.

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 an expense of $26.0 million in 2015 and expense of $5.1 million in 2014. Third quarter 2015 reflects $28.7 million of loss and related expenses in connection with the sale of the California cement operations.

Other nonoperating income and expenses, net, includes foreign currency translation gains and losses, interest and other miscellaneous income and equity adjustments for nonconsolidated affiliates.  The $2.6 million increase in other nonoperating income, net, in 2015 primarily reflects higher earnings from nonconsolidated companies compared with 2014.

Income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 includes $3.3 million to establish a valuation allowance for certain state NOL carry forwards as a result of the sale of the California cement operations.

For the first nine months, consolidated other operating income and expenses, net, was an expense of $28.0 million in 2015 compared with expense of $0.3 million in 2014, predominantly due to the loss and related expenses recognized with the sale of the California cement operations.  

In addition to other offsetting amounts, other nonoperating income and expenses, net, are comprised generally of interest income and net equity earnings from nonconsolidated investments.  Consolidated other nonoperating income and expenses, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was income of $6.6 million in 2015 compared with expense of $1.3 million in 2014, primarily driven by increased income from nonconsolidated affiliates in 2015.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $319.6 million compared with $201.6 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to higher earnings before depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, partially offset by increased working capital requirements and cash payments in 2015 for 2014 taxes that were ineligible for NOL utilization. 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 business combinations, primarily TXI.

The seasonal nature of the construction aggregates business impacts quarterly operating cash flow when compared with the full year. Full-year 2014 net cash provided by operating activities was $381.7 million compared with $201.6 million for the first nine months of 2014. For the year, the Corporation expects to utilize allowable federal net operating loss carry forwards of $509 million acquired with TXI.  

During the first nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Corporation invested $212.4 million of capital into its business. Full-year capital spending is expected to range from $330 million to $350 million, including $80 million for the Medina Rock and Rail (“Medina”) capital project. With a budgeted cost of $163 million, the Medina project is the largest capital expansion project in the Corporation’s history.  The project, located outside of San Antonio, consists of building a rail-connected limestone aggregates processing facility with the capability of producing in excess of 10 million tons per year.  Initially, shipments from Medina will primarily replace volumes currently being served by the Corporation’s other existing locations.

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 received $420 million from the sale of its California cement operations.  In anticipation of the sale, during the third quarter the Corporation repurchased 917,000 shares of common stock for $157.7 million and expects to use the remaining net proceeds to repurchase additional shares of its stock.  At September 30, 2015, 18,413,000 shares of common stock were remaining under the Corporation’s repurchase authorization.  

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 by the Credit Agreement, 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.

In 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 and 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.

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, 2015, the Corporation had $470 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 at September 30, 2015. 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

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, 2014. Management continues to evaluate its exposure to all operating risks on an ongoing basis.

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 Dodge Momentum Index remains high and signals continued growth.

 

·

Energy-related economic activity, including follow-on public and private construction activities in the Corporation’s primary markets, is anticipated to remain strong.  Residential construction is expected to continue to grow, driven by historically low levels of construction activity over the previous several years, employment gains, low mortgage rates, significant lot absorption, higher multi-family rental rates and rising housing prices.

 

·

For the public sector, authorized highway funding from MAP-21 should remain stable compared with 2014. Additionally, state initiatives to finance infrastructure projects, including support from TIFIA, are expected to grow and continue to play an expanded role in public-sector activity.

The significant amount of rainfall during the first half of the year coupled with capacity constraints is expected to delay a portion of weather-delayed shipments into 2016.  Based on this expectation and external trends, the Corporation anticipates the following for the full year, which reflects the sale of the California cement operations:

 

·

Aggregates end-use markets compared to 2014 levels are as follows:

 

o

Infrastructure market to increase in the low-single digits.

 

o

Nonresidential market to increase in the mid-single digits.

 

o

Residential market to experience a double-digit increase.

(Continued)

 

 

o

ChemRock/Rail market to remain relatively flat. 

 

·

Aggregates product line shipments to increase by 7% to 10% compared with 2014 levels.

 

o

Heritage aggregates shipments to increase 3% to 5%.

 

·

Aggregates product line pricing to increase by 7% to 9% compared with 2014.

 

·

Aggregates product line production cost per ton shipped to remain relatively flat.

 

·

Aggregates-related downstream product lines to generate between $875 million and $925 million of net sales and $80 million to $85 million of gross profit.

 

·

Net sales for the Cement segment to be between $375 million and $400 million, generating $105 million to $110 million of gross profit.

 

·

Net sales for the Magnesia Specialties segment to be between $235 million and $240 million, generating $80 million to $85 million of gross profit.

 

·

SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales to be slightly above 6.0%, inclusive of an $18 million increase in heritage pension costs that resulted from lower discount rate.

 

·

Interest expense to approximate $75 million to $80 million.

 

·

Estimated effective income tax rate to approximate 31%, excluding discrete events.

 

·

Consolidated EBITDA to range from $800 million to $820 million, exclusive of the loss on the California cement sale and related expenses and absent the early onset of winter weather in the Corporation’s markets

 

·

Cash taxes paid to approximate $65 million.

 

·

Capital expenditures to range from $330 million to $350 million, including $35 million of synergy-related capital and approximately $80 million for Medina limestone quarry.

The Corporation has started framing a preliminary 2016 outlook for its aggregates end-use markets based on its internal observations in conjunction with McGraw Hill Construction’s economic forecast.  The Corporation currently expects the following:

 

Infrastructure market to increase slightly.

 

Nonresidential market to increase slightly.

 

Residential market to experience a double-digit increase.

 

ChemRock/Rail market to remain relatively flat.

While the Corporation is optimistic regarding the passage of a multi-year highway bill, it has excluded any increase in infrastructure construction activity in its 2016 outlook.

The Corporation’s outlook for the cement industry is largely consistent with PCA’s forecast.  Cement demand in Texas is forecasted to be up 4% in 2016.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2015

(Continued)

 

The outlook includes management’s assessment of the likelihood of certain risks and uncertainties that will affect performance.  The most significant risks to the Corporation’s performance will be Congress’ actions and timing surrounding federal highway funding and uncertainty over the funding mechanism for the Highway Trust Fund.  Congress recently extended federal highway funding through continuing resolution through November 20, 2015.  Additionally, all of the Corporation’s 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. Further, a decline in 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 and uncertainties related to the Corporation’s future performance include, but are not limited to: both price and volume, and 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 a sustained period of low global oil prices or changes in oil production patterns in response to this decline and certain regulatory or other 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 a reduction in capital investment by 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 the Corporation’s cement production facilities; and the possibility that certain 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 Magnesia Specialties 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 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 Magnesia Specialties 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 railcars 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.  The Corporation’s new Medina limestone quarry is dependent on rail-movement for substantially all of its products.  In addition, availability of railcars 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 products, particularly in markets experiencing high growth and increased demand, is also a risk and pressures the associated costs.  

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 which has been extended via several continuing resolutions, the latest of which expires November 20, 2015. 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, 2015, unchanged since 2008. The residential construction market accounted for 14% of the Corporation’s aggregates product line shipments in 2014.

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, 2015, 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 $357.1 million, which was the collective outstanding balance at September 30, 2015, would increase interest expense by $3.6 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, 2014.

Energy Costs. Energy costs, including diesel fuel, natural gas, coal and liquid asphalt, represent significant production costs of the Corporation. The Corporation entered into a fixed price arrangement for 40% of its diesel fuel to reduce its diesel fuel price risk. The Magnesia Specialties business has fixed price agreements covering half of its 2015 coal requirements and the cement business has fixed pricing agreements on 100% of its 2015 coal requirements. A hypothetical 10% change in the Corporation’s energy prices in 2015 as compared with 2014, assuming constant volumes, would change 2015 energy expense by $27.9 million. However, the impact would be partially offset by the change in the amount capitalized into inventory standards.

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 forecasted net sales for the Cement business for full-year 2015 of $375 million to $400 million, a hypothetical 10% change in sales price would impact net sales by $37.5 million to $40 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2015, 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, 2015. There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
