Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) 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 required adoption of two new accounting pronouncements described below, the Company has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2018 are not indicative of the results expected for other interim periods or the full year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which changes the evaluation and accounting for revenue recognition under contracts with customers and enhances financial statement disclosures.  The Company implemented ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach.  The adoption had an immaterial impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations but required new disclosures (see Note 2).  

Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-15), which provides clarification or additional guidance on certain transactions and its classification on the statement of cash flows on a retrospective basis.  The adoption had an immaterial impact on the Company’s statement of cash flows.

Pending Accounting Pronouncement

Lease Standard

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new accounting standard, Accounting Codification Standard 842 – Leases, intending to improve financial reporting of leases and to provide more transparency into off-balance sheet leasing obligations.  The guidance requires virtually all leases, excluding mineral interest leases, to be recorded on the balance sheet and provides guidance on the recognition of lease expense and income.  The new standard is effective January 1, 2019.  The FASB recently proposed to eliminate the need for retrospective presentation of comparative financial statements and to allow the use of certain practical expedients in the adoption of the new standard.  The Company has developed an implementation plan and is currently gathering data to further assess the impact of the ASU on its financial statements. The adoption is anticipated to have a material impact on assets and liabilities due to the recognition of lease rights and obligations on its balance sheet effective January 1, 2019.

Earnings per Common Share

The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share is net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. reduced by dividends and undistributed earnings attributable to certain of the Company’s stock-based compensation. 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 Company’s Board of Directors under certain stock-based compensation arrangements if the conversion is dilutive. For the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the diluted per-share computations reflect 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.

Revenue Recognition

Total revenues include sales of products and services to customers, net of any discounts or allowances, and freight revenues.  Product revenues are recognized when control of the promised good is transferred to the customer, typically when finished products are shipped. Intersegment and interproduct revenues are eliminated in consolidation. Service revenues are derived from the paving business and recognized using the percentage-of-completion method under the revenue-cost approach. Under the revenue-cost approach, recognized contract revenue is determined by multiplying the total estimated contract revenue by the estimated percentage of completion. Contract costs are recognized as incurred. The percentage of completion is determined on a contract-by-contract basis using project costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated project costs. The Company believes the revenue-cost approach is appropriate as the use of asphalt in a paving contract is relatively consistent with the performance of the paving service. Paving contracts, notably with governmental entities, may contain performance bonuses based on quality specifications. Given the uncertainty of meeting the criteria until the performance obligation is completed, performance bonuses are recognized as revenues when and if determined to be achieved. Performance bonuses are not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.  Freight revenues reflect delivery arranged by the Company using a third party on behalf of the customer and are recognized consistent with the timing of the product revenues.

Revenue Recognition (continued)

Performance Obligations. Performance obligations are contractual promises to transfer or provide a distinct good or service for a stated price.  The Company’s product sales agreements are single-performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time.  Performance obligations within paving service agreements are satisfied over time, primarily ranging from one day to 20 months. For product revenues and freight revenues, customer payment terms are generally 30 days from invoice date. Customer payments for the paving operations are based on a contractual billing schedule and are due 30 days from invoice date.

Future revenues from unsatisfied performance obligations at June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $128,953,000 and $147,698,000, respectively, where the remaining periods to complete these obligations ranged from one month to 13 months and one month to 22 months, respectively.  

Sales Taxes. The Company is deemed to be an agent when collecting sales taxes from customers.  Sales taxes collected are initially recorded as liabilities until remitted to taxing authorities and are not reflected in the consolidated statements of earnings as revenues and expenses.

Revenue by Category. The following table presents the Company’s total revenues by category for each reportable segment:

Revenue Recognition (continued)

Revenues recognized from the beginning balance of contract liabilities for the three-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $4,066,000 and $3,683,000, respectively, and for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $6,162,000 and $7,465,000, respectively.

Retainage, which primarily relates to the paving services, represents amounts that have been billed to customers but payment withheld until final acceptance of the performance obligation by the customer.  Included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, retainage was $6,578,000, $9,029,000 and $4,150,000 at June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

Warranties. The Company’s construction contracts generally contain warranty provisions generally for a period of nine months to one year after project completion and cover materials, design or workmanship defects. Historically, the Company has not experienced material costs for warranties. The ready mixed concrete product line carries longer warranty periods, for which the Company has accrued an estimate of warranty cost based on experience with the type of work and any known risks relative to the project. In total, warranty costs were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Policy Elections. When the Company arranges third party freight to deliver products to customers, the Company has elected the delivery to be a fulfillment activity rather than a separate performance obligation.  Further, the Company acts as a principal in the delivery arrangements and, as required by the accounting standard, the related revenues and costs are presented gross and are included in the consolidated statements of earnings.

Business Combination

On April 27, 2018, the Company successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of Bluegrass Materials Company (Bluegrass), the largest privately-held, pure-play aggregates company in the United States, for approximately $1,623,000,000 in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment.  Bluegrass’ operations include 23 active sites with more than 125 years of reserves, collectively, in Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Maryland, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.  These operations complement the Company’s existing southeastern footprint in its Mid-America and Southeast Groups and provide a new growth platform within Maryland and Kentucky.  The Company reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), approved by the federal district court for the District of Columbia, which resolved all competition issues with respect to the acquisition.  Under the terms of the agreement with the DOJ, Martin Marietta divested its heritage Forsyth aggregates quarry north of Atlanta, Georgia, and the legacy Bluegrass Beaver Creek aggregates quarry in western Maryland.  In connection with the sale of its Forsyth quarry, the Company recognized a pretax gain of $14,785,000, which is included in acquisition-related expenses, net, in the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings. There was no gain or loss on the Beaver Creek divestiture.

The Bluegrass acquisition was a stock transaction wherein the Company acquired 100% of the voting interest of the owners.  The Company acquired accounts receivable; inventories; property, plant and equipment, which primarily consists of mineral reserves; intangible assets; prepaid and other assets; and assumed accounts payable; accrued liabilities and deferred tax liabilities, net.  The Company did not assume any of Bluegrass’ outstanding debt.

Business Combination (continued)

The Company 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 during the measurement period which extends no longer than one year from consummation date based on additional reviews, such as asset verification and completion of deferred tax estimates based on the determination of the historic tax basis in assets acquired. 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 income tax liabilities.  Therefore, the measurement period remains open as of June 30, 2018.  The following is a summary of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed (dollars in thousands).

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and reflects projected operating synergies from the transaction, including expected overhead savings.  It has not yet been determined if any of the goodwill generated by the transaction will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Total revenues and earnings from operations attributable to acquired operations included in the consolidated earnings statements for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2018 were $46,351,000 and $6,745,000, respectively.

Acquisition-related expenses were $26,911,000 and $27,621,000 for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations for the Company and Bluegrass as though the companies were combined as of January 1, 2017.  Financial information for periods prior to the April 27, 2018 acquisition date included in the pro forma earnings does not reflect any cost savings or associated costs to achieve such savings from operating efficiencies or synergies that result from the combination.  Consistent with the assumed acquisition date of January 1, 2017, the pro forma financial results for the six-months ended June 30, 2017 include acquisition-related expenses of $26,100,000, the $14,785,000 gain on the required divestiture of assets and the one-time $19,893,000 increase in cost of sales for the sale of acquired inventory.  

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 acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal year 2017.

On April 17, 2018, the Company, through a wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary, increased its trade receivable securitization facility (the Trade Receivable Facility) to $400,000,000.  The Trade Receivable Facility, with SunTrust Bank, Regions Bank, PNC Bank, N.A., The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, LTD., New York Branch, and certain other lenders that may become a party to the facility from time to time, is backed by eligible trade receivables, as defined, and is limited to the lesser of the facility limit or the borrowing base, as defined, of $490,362,000, $338,784,000 and $422,624,000 at June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively.  These receivables are originated by the Company and then sold to the wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary by the Company.  The Company 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 London Inter-bank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus 0.725%, subject to change in the event that this rate no longer reflects the lender’s cost of lending.  The Trade Receivable Facility, which is scheduled to mature September 26, 2018, contains a cross-default provision to the Company’s other debt agreements.

On April 16, 2018, the maturity date, the Company repaid the $300,000,000 of the 6.6% Senior Notes with cash on hand.

Long-Term Debt (continued)

The Company has a $700,000,000 five-year senior unsecured revolving facility (the Revolving Facility) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T), Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., SunTrust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Co-Syndication Agents, and the lenders party thereto.  The Revolving Facility requires the Company’s ratio of consolidated debt-to-consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as defined by the Revolving Facility, for the trailing-twelve months (the Ratio) to not exceed 3.50x as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Company may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions during such quarter or the three preceding quarters so long as 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 Company is a co-borrower, may be reduced by the Company’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.  The Company was in compliance with this Ratio at June 30, 2018.

Available borrowings under the Revolving Facility are reduced by any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company under the Revolving Facility.  The Company had $2,301,000 of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and $2,507,000 at June 30, 2017.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes the unamortized value of terminated forward starting interest rate swap agreements. For the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized $111,000 and $458,000, respectively, as additional interest expense. For the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized $364,000 and $720,000, respectively, as additional interest expense.  The amortization of the terminated value of the forward starting interest rate swap agreements was complete with the maturity of the related debt in April 2018.

7.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, bank overdrafts, 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 Company’s cash equivalents have original 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.

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.

Bank overdrafts, when applicable, represent amounts to be funded to financial institutions for checks that have cleared the bank. The estimated fair value of bank overdrafts 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.

Financial Instruments (continued)

The carrying values and fair values of the Company’s long-term debt were $3,218,922,000 and $3,154,635,000, respectively, at June 30, 2018; $3,027,203,000 and $3,144,902,000, respectively, at December 31, 2017; and $1,781,981,000 and $1,885,231,000, respectively, at June 30, 2017. 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 estimated fair value of other borrowings, which primarily represents variable-rate debt, was based on Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy using quoted market prices for similar debt instruments, and approximates their carrying amounts as the interest rates reset periodically.  

8.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 was 22.0%.  The effective income tax rate reflects the effect of federal and state income taxes on earnings and the impact of differences in book and tax accounting arising from the net permanent tax benefits associated with the statutory depletion deduction for mineral reserves.  For the six-months ended June 30, 2018, the effective income tax rate also reflects three discrete events: a favorable impact of $2,760,000, or 100 basis points, related to the vesting and exercise of stock-based compensation awards, an unfavorable impact of $1,664,000, or 60 basis points, related to an estimate of the transition tax on undistributed foreign earnings, a provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (2017 Tax Act) and an unfavorable impact of $2,369,000, or 90 basis points, for nondeductible portion of transaction costs. The enactment of the 2017 Tax Act reduced the federal statutory corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018.  Therefore, the effective income tax rate of 26.5% for the six-months ended June 30, 2017 is not comparable.

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118) to address situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act.  As such, due to the timing of the enactment date and the Company’s reporting periods, the Company recognized provisional amounts for the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and transition tax on undistributed foreign earnings as of June 30, 2018, and continues to analyze and assess other provisions of the 2017 Tax Act.  In accordance with SAB 118, the Company may record additional provisional amounts during the measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date and expects the accounting to be complete when the Company’s 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in 2018. Any future measurement period adjustments will be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in 2018.

The Company 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.

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal and Administrative Proceedings

The Company 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 Company and its subsidiaries, will have a material adverse effect on the overall results of the Company’s operations, its cash flows or its financial position.

Borrowing Arrangements with Affiliate

The Company is a co-borrower with an unconsolidated affiliate for a $15,500,000 revolving line of credit agreement with BB&T with a maturity date of March 2020. The affiliate has agreed to reimburse and indemnify the Company for any payments and expenses the Company may incur from this agreement. The Company holds a lien on the affiliate’s membership interest in a joint venture as collateral for payment under the revolving line of credit.

In addition, the Company has a $6,000,000 interest-only loan, due December 31, 2019, outstanding from this unconsolidated affiliate as of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.  The interest rate is one-month LIBOR plus 1.75%.

11.

Business Segments

The Building Materials business contains three reportable business segments: Mid-America Group, Southeast Group and West Group. The Company also has a Magnesia Specialties segment.  The Company’s evaluation of performance and allocation of resources are based primarily on earnings from operations. Consolidated earnings from operations include total revenues less cost of revenues; selling, general and administrative expenses; acquisition-related expenses, net; other operating income and expenses, net; and exclude interest expense; other nonoperating income and expenses, net; and taxes on income. Corporate loss from operations primarily includes depreciation on capitalized interest; unallocated expenses for corporate administrative functions; acquisition-related expenses, net; and other nonrecurring income and expenses excluded from the Company’s evaluation of business segment performance and resource allocation. All debt and related interest expense is held at Corporate.

The following table displays selected financial data for the Company’s reportable business segments. The acquired Bluegrass operations are located in the Mid-America Group and Southeast Group.  Total revenues, as well as the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings, exclude intersegment revenues which represent sales from one segment to another segment, which are eliminated. Prior-year information has been reclassified to conform to current year revenue presentation.

Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2018

 

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

OVERVIEW

Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the Company or Martin Marietta) is a natural resource-based building materials company. The Company supplies aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel) through its network of more than 300 quarries, mines and distribution yards to its customers in 30 states, Canada, the Bahamas and the Caribbean Islands.  In the western United States, Martin Marietta also provides cement and downstream products, namely, ready mixed concrete, asphalt and paving services, in vertically-integrated structured markets where the Company has a leading aggregates position.  The Company’s heavy-side building materials are used in infrastructure, nonresidential and residential construction projects.  Aggregates are also used in agricultural, utility and environmental applications and as railroad ballast. The aggregates, cement, ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving product lines are reported collectively as the “Building Materials” business.

The Company conducts its Building Materials business through three reportable business segments: Mid-America Group, Southeast Group and West Group.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2018

(Continued)

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Building Materials business is significantly affected by weather patterns and seasonal changes.  Production and shipment levels for aggregates, cement, ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving materials correlate with general construction activity levels, most of which occur 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 production, shipments and profitability in all markets served by the Company.  Because of the potentially significant impact of weather on the Company’s operations, current period and year-to-date results are not indicative of expected performance for other interim periods or the full year.  

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation 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, operating earnings or operating cash flow.  However, the Company’s management believes that EBITDA may provide additional information with respect to the Company’s performance or ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditures or working capital requirements.  Because EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and may vary among companies, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as described below, presented by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

A reconciliation of net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. to consolidated EBITDA is as follows:

Impact of Acquisition-Related Items

Adjusted consolidated earnings from operations, adjusted earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2018, exclude the impact of acquisition-related expenses, net, and the impact of selling acquired inventory due to the markup to fair value as part of acquisition accounting.  Acquisition-related expenses, net, consist of acquisition and integration expenses and the nonrecurring gain on the required divestiture of a legacy Martin Marietta quarry in Georgia as part of the acquisition of Bluegrass Materials. Adjusted consolidated earnings from operations, adjusted earnings per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA represent non-GAAP financial measures.  Management presents these measures for investors and analysts to evaluate and forecast the Company’s financial results, as acquisition-related expenses, net, and the impact of selling acquired inventory due to the markup to fair value as part of acquisition accounting are nonrecurring.

During the quarter, aggregates shipments to all three of the Company’s primary end-use markets increased, demonstrating the breadth of the overall construction recovery. However, the limited availability of transportation and tight contractor labor markets pose challenges for more efficient throughput. Specifically, suboptimal railroad performance, limited truck availability and contractor capacity limitations, including their notable employee shortages, muted the Company’s overall second-quarter volume growth. However, as capital and increased wages flow into the construction sector, the Company expects these temporary bottlenecks will abate, allowing supply and demand to reach equilibrium.  

Inclusive of acquired operations, aggregates product revenues increased 15.1% for the quarter, reflecting volume growth of 11.3% and pricing growth of 3.5%. Heritage volume and pricing improved 3.4% and 4.4%, respectively.  Shipments for the Mid-America Group heritage operations increased 4.6%, driven by several large public and private construction projects in North Carolina. These operations generated heritage pricing gains of 6.3%, driven by continued price discipline. Shipments for the Southeast Group heritage operations increased 3.4%, driven by strong construction activity in North Georgia.  Weather and railroad inefficiencies hindered long-haul shipments from South Georgia to distribution yards in Florida, negatively affecting shipments and limited pricing growth to 1.5%.  West Group shipments improved 2.0%.  Notably, all districts in the Southwest Division posted volume growth; however, this volume growth was partially offset by reduced Colorado volumes resulting from project delays and lower ballast sales. West Group pricing improved 3.2%, reflecting robust pricing in Colorado that was offset by product mix, partially offset a lower percentage of commercial rail-shipped volumes in Texas.  

Heritage aggregates shipments to the infrastructure market increased 2%, driven by large public projects in North Carolina and partially offset by project delays in Texas and Colorado as well as the previously-noted poor railroad service in Texas, South Georgia and Florida. The Company is encouraged by the recent acceleration of state lettings and contract awards; however, some contractors are reporting a longer lag time between contract awards and the commencement of projects. As state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and contractors address labor constraints

and the broader industry benefits from further regulatory reform, management remains confident that infrastructure demand will continue to improve from the funding provided by the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) and numerous state and local transportation initiatives. Notably, once awarded, public construction projects are typically certain to be fully completed; thus, delays from weather or other factors merely extend the duration of the construction cycle for the Company’s single largest end use. Overall, aggregates shipments to the infrastructure market comprised 40% of second-quarter aggregates volumes, which remains below the Company’s most recent five-year average of 43%.

Heritage aggregates shipments to the nonresidential market increased 6%, driven by both commercial and heavy industrial construction activity. Additionally, ongoing energy-sector project approvals, supported by higher oil prices, underpin management’s expectation that the next wave of these large projects, particularly along the Gulf Coast, will contribute to increased aggregates demand for the next several years. The nonresidential market represented 33% of second-quarter aggregates shipments.

Heritage aggregates shipments to the residential market increased 11%. Six of the Company’s key states - Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Colorado, Georgia and South Carolina - rank in the top ten nationally for growth in single-family housing unit starts for the trailing-twelve months ended May 2018. The residential construction outlook across the Company’s geographic footprint remains positive for both single- and multi-family housing, driven by favorable demographics, job growth, land availability and efficient permitting.  The residential market accounted for 22% of second-quarter aggregates shipments.

The ChemRock/Rail market accounted for the remaining 5% of second-quarter heritage aggregates shipments. Shipments to this sector declined 21%, reflective of the timing of certain purchases by East Coast railroads in the prior-year quarter as well as reduced ballast shipments due to lower maintenance spending by Class I railroads.

Second-quarter cement product revenues increased 14.4%.  Shipments and pricing improved 11.6% and 2.6%, respectively, reflecting robust demand in North and South Texas.  These factors, coupled with increased production efficiencies, contributed to the 680-basis-point improvement in product gross margin to 36.5%.  

Ready mixed concrete shipments increased 15.0%, driven primarily by strong construction activity in Texas, particularly in the Dallas/Fort Worth market.  Overall, second-quarter ready mixed concrete prices decreased slightly, with lower energy-sector shipments and product mix in Texas offsetting the 5.9% pricing growth in Colorado and solid pricing gains in Dallas/Fort Worth.  Project delays contributed to the 6.0% decrease in asphalt shipments, while rising raw material costs allowed for favorable pricing during the quarter.

Cement outage costs, which reflect planned and unplanned plant shutdowns, were $5.0 million for the quarter compared with $4.1 million for the prior-year quarter.  

Consolidated Operating Results

Consolidated SG&A was 5.9% of total revenues compared with 6.4% in the prior-year quarter, a 50-basis-point improvement.  Earnings from operations for the quarter were $264.0 million in 2018 compared with $212.9 million in 2017.  

Among other items, other operating income, 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 second quarter, consolidated other operating income, net, was $31.2 million in 2018 and $9.1 million in 2017.  The increase in other operating income, net, is primarily driven by a gain on the sale of surplus land of $16.9 million and a net gain on litigation and related settlements of $7.7 million in 2018. The 2017 amount includes a $13.5 million gain on the sale of real estate and $6.1 million of expense, including both cash and stock-based compensation components, related to the retirement of a senior executive officer.

(Continued)

 

For the six-months ended June 30, consolidated other operating income, net, was $30.8 million in 2018 and $8.8 million in 2017.  The increase in other operating income, net, is primarily driven by a gain on the sale of surplus land of $16.9 million and a net gain on litigation and related settlements of $7.7 million in 2018.  The 2017 amount includes a $13.5 million gain on the sale of real estate and $6.1 million of expense, including both cash and stock-based compensation components, related to the retirement of a senior executive officer.

For the six-months ended June 30, 2018, other nonoperating income, net, was $15.6 million, a $9.6 million increase compared with prior year, reflecting higher interest income and lower pension expense.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities for the six-months ended June 30 was $238.0 million in 2018 compared with $229.3 million in 2017.  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 seasonal nature of construction activity impacts the Company’s quarterly operating cash flow when compared with the full year. Full-year 2017 net cash provided by operating activities was $657.6 million, reflective of the reclassification of net proceeds and payments of corporate-owned life insurance of $0.3 million from operating activities to investing activities, compared with $229.3 million for the first six months of 2017.

During the six-months ended June 30, 2018, the Company paid $188.3 million for capital investments. Full-year capital spending is expected to approximate $450 million to $500 million.

The Company 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 Company did not make any repurchases of common stock during the first six months of the year.  At June 30, 2018, 14,669,000 shares of common stock were remaining under the Company’s repurchase authorization.  

The $700 million Revolving Facility requires the Company’s ratio of consolidated debt-to-consolidated 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 Company may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions during the quarter or the three preceding quarters so long as the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 3.75x. Additionally, if there are no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility and the $400 million Trade Receivable Facility, consolidated debt, including debt for which the Company is a co-borrower, may be reduced by the Company’s

unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50 million, such reduction not to exceed $200 million, for purposes of the covenant calculation.

The Ratio is calculated as debt, including debt for which the Company is a co-borrower, divided by consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the Company’s Revolving Facility, for the trailing-twelve months.  Consolidated EBITDA is generally defined as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation 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.  During periods that include an acquisition, pre-acquisition adjusted EBITDA of the acquired company is added to consolidated EBITDA as if the acquisition occurred on the first day of the calculation period.  Certain other nonrecurring items, if they occur, can affect the calculation of consolidated EBITDA.

At June 30, 2018, the Company’s ratio of consolidated debt-to-consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the Company’s Revolving Facility, for the trailing-twelve months was 2.75 times and was calculated as follows:

The Trade Receivable Facility contains a cross-default provision to the Company’s other debt agreements. In the event of a default on the Ratio, the lenders can terminate the Revolving Facility and Trade Receivable Facility and declare any outstanding balances as immediately due.  Outstanding amounts on the Trade Receivable Facility have been classified as a current liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Cash on hand, along with the Company’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, address near-term debt maturities,

meet capital expenditures and discretionary investment needs, and certain acquisition opportunities that may arise and allow for payment of dividends for the foreseeable future. On April 27, 2018, the Company successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of Bluegrass Materials Company (Bluegrass), the largest privately-held, pure-play aggregates company in the United States, for $1.625 billion in cash, subject to a working capital true up. The Company financed the Bluegrass acquisition using proceeds from issuances of senior notes in December 2017 and borrowings under credit facilities.  Any future significant strategic acquisition for cash would likely require an appropriate balance of newly-issued equity with debt in order to maintain a composite investment-grade credit rating. At June 30, 2018, the Company had $607.7 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 December 5, 2021 and the Trade Receivable Facility expires on September 26, 2018.  The Company expects to extend the maturity of the Trade Receivable Facility prior to the expiration date.

The Company repaid the $300 million of 6.60% Senior Notes with cash on hand on April 16, 2018, the maturity date.

On April 17, 2018, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary amended its Trade Receivable Facility to increase the facility limit to $400 million.

On May 22, 2017, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due in 2020 and $300 million aggregate principal amount of 3.450% Senior Notes due in 2027.  On December 20, 2017, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2019, $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.500% Senior Notes due 2027 and $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Senior Notes due 2047.  The Company repaid $300 million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior at its maturity in June 2017.

The Company is exposed to the credit markets, through the interest cost related to its variable-rate debt, which included borrowings under its Revolving Facility and Trade Receivable Facility and the obligations in respect of the Floating Rate Notes.  The Company is currently rated at an investment-grade level by all three credit rating agencies.

TRENDS AND RISKS

The Company outlined the risks associated with its business in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.  Management continues to evaluate its exposure to all operating risks on an ongoing basis.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company’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 Company’s business. Demand for aggregates products, particularly in the infrastructure construction market, is affected by federal and state budget and deficit issues. Further, delays or cancellations of 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 raised the federal funds rate to 1.9% during the six-months ended June 30, 2018. The residential construction market accounted for 21% of the Company’s aggregates product line shipments in 2017.

Aside from these inherent risks from within its operations, the Company’s earnings are also affected by changes in short-term interest rates. However, rising interest rates are not necessarily predictive of weaker operating results. Historically, the Company’s profitability increased during periods of rising interest rates.  In essence, the Company’s underlying business generally serves as a natural hedge to rising interest rates.

Variable-Rate Borrowing Facilities. At June 30, 2018, the Company had a $700 million Credit Agreement and a $400 million Trade Receivable Facility. The Company also has $600 million variable-rate senior notes.  Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at a variable interest rate. A hypothetical 100-basis-point increase in interest rates on borrowings of $1.09 billion, which was the collective outstanding balance at June 30, 2018, would increase interest expense by $10.9 million on an annual basis.

Pension Expense. The Company’s results of operations are affected by its pension expense. Assumptions that affect pension expense include the discount rate and, for the qualified defined benefit pension plan only, the expected long-term rate of return on assets. Therefore, the Company has interest rate risk associated with these factors. The impact of hypothetical changes in these assumptions on the Company’s annual pension expense is discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Energy Costs. Energy costs, including diesel fuel, natural gas, coal and liquid asphalt, represent significant production costs of the Company.  The cement operations and Magnesia Specialties business have fixed price agreements covering 100% of its 2018 coal requirements.  Energy costs for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 increased approximately 20% over the prior-year period.  A hypothetical 20% change in the Company’s energy prices for the full year 2018 as compared with 2017, assuming constant volumes, would change full year 2018 energy expense by $50.0 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 Company’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 Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.  Assuming total revenues for cement for full-year 2018 of $415 million to $445 million, a hypothetical 10% change in sales price would impact net sales by $41.5 million to $44.5 million.
