Organization

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 approximately 300 quarries, mines and distribution yards in 27 states, Canada and the Bahamas.  In the southwestern and 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.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company moved the management of its one quarry in the state of Washington from the Mid-America Group to the West Group, resulting in an immaterial change to its reportable segments. The Company’s Building Materials business includes three reportable segments: the Mid-America Group, the Southeast Group and the West Group.

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future events.  As future events and their effects, including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the related societal response, cannot be fully determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

New Accounting Pronouncement

Credit Losses

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASU 2016-13), which includes a current expected credit loss (CECL) model that requires an entity to estimate credit losses expected over the life of an exposure or pool of exposures based on historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts at the time the asset is recognized and is remeasured at each reporting period. ASU 2016-13 primarily relates to the Company’s receivables, but the scope also includes retainage and contract assets related to its paving business. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or statement of earnings and comprehensive earnings. The Company amended its allowance for credit losses policy, which follows, for the implementation of ASU 2016-13.

The Company records an allowance for credit losses, which includes a provision for probable losses based on historical write-offs and a specific reserve for accounts deemed at risk. The allowance is the Company’s estimate for receivables as of the balance sheet date that ultimately will not be collected. Any changes in the allowance are reflected in earnings in the period in which the change occurs.  The Company writes-off accounts receivable when it becomes probable, based upon customer facts and circumstances, that such amounts will not be collected.

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 months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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.

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

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. Freight revenues reflect delivery arranged by the Company using a third party on behalf of the customer and are recognized consistently with the timing of the product revenues.

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 21 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 March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $212.7 million and $149.4 million, respectively, where the remaining periods to complete these obligations ranged from one month to 21 months for both periods.  

Revenue by Category. The following table presents the Company’s total revenues by category for each reportable segment. Prior-year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the reporting structure change described in Note 1.

Service revenues, which include paving operations located in Colorado, were $14.5 million and $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Contract Balances. Costs in excess of billings relate to the conditional right to consideration for completed contractual performance and are contract assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Costs in excess of billings are reclassified to accounts receivable when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Billings in excess of costs relate to customers invoiced in advance of contractual performance and are contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents information about the Company’s contract balances:

Revenues recognized from the beginning balance of contract liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $4.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

Retainage, which primarily relates to the paving services, represents amounts that have been billed to customers but payment withheld until final acceptance by the customer of the performance obligation.  Included in other current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, retainage was $8.5 million and $10.2 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Warranties. The Company’s construction contracts generally contain warranty provisions typically 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 months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

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.

On March 5, 2020, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.500% Senior Notes due 2030 (the 2.500% Senior Notes). The 2.500% Senior Notes are carried net of original issue discount, which is being amortized by the effective interest method over the life of the issue. The 2.500% Senior Notes are redeemable prior to December 15, 2029 at their make-whole redemption price at a discount rate of the U.S. Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, or on or after December 15, 2029 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment at maturity of $300 million of existing Floating Rate Notes due May 2020, which was classified as current long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2020. At December 31, 2019, the Floating Rate Senior Notes due May 2020 were classified as noncurrent long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet as the Company had the intent and ability to refinance the notes on a long-term basis.

The Company, through a wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary, has a $400 million trade receivable securitization facility (the Trade Receivable Facility) which matures on September 23, 2020. The Trade Receivable Facility, with Truist 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.  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 Interbank 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 contains a cross-default provision to the Company’s other debt agreements.

The Company has a $700 million five-year senior unsecured revolving facility (the Revolving Facility) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Truist Bank, Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Co-Syndication Agents, and the lenders party thereto.  Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at rates based upon LIBOR or a base rate, plus, for each rate, a margin determined in accordance with a ratings-based pricing grid. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility at March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019. 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 there are no amounts outstanding under 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 million, such reduction not to exceed $200 million, for purposes of the covenant calculation.  The Company was in compliance with this covenant at March 31, 2020.

The Revolving Facility expires on December 5, 2024, with any outstanding principal amounts, together with interest accrued thereon, due in full on that date. 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 $2.3 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

5.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, 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. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of consolidated total revenues. 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.

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

The carrying values and fair values of the Company’s long-term debt were $3.26 billion and $3.23 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2020 and $2.77 billion and $2.94 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2019. The estimated fair value of the publicly-registered long-term notes was estimated based on Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy using quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of other borrowings approximate their carrying amounts as the interest rates reset periodically.

6.

Income Taxes

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 permanent tax benefits associated with the statutory depletion deduction for mineral reserves.  For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the low effective income tax rate of 0.6% was primarily attributable to a $6.9 million discrete benefit from financing third-party railroad maintenance. In exchange, the Company received a federal income tax credit and deduction.  For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the effective income tax rate included a $13.2 million discrete benefit from a change in the tax status of a subsidiary from a partnership to a corporation, contributing to an overall income tax benefit of $5.0 million.

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, including matters relating to the protection of the environment. The Company considers various factors in assessing the probable outcome of each matter, including but not limited to the nature of existing legal proceedings and claims, the asserted or possible damages, which court the case is in and whether it is a jury trial, the progress of the case, existing law and precedent, the opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisers, the Company’s experience in similar cases and the experience of other companies, the facts available to the Company at the time of assessment, and how the Company intends to respond to the proceeding or claim. The Company’s assessment of these factors may change over time as proceedings or claims progress. The Company believes the probability is remote that the outcome of any currently pending legal or administrative proceeding will result in a material loss to the Company as a whole, based on currently available facts.

Borrowing Arrangements with Affiliate

The Company is a co-borrower with an unconsolidated affiliate for a $12.5 million revolving line of credit agreement with Truist Bank, of which $11.2 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and has a maturity date of March 2022. 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 $6.0 million interest-only loan, due December 31, 2022, outstanding from this unconsolidated affiliate as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  The interest rate is one-month LIBOR plus a current spread of 1.75%.

Letters of Credit

In the normal course of business, the Company provides certain third parties with standby letter of credit agreements guaranteeing its payment for certain insurance claims, contract performance and permit requirements.  At March 31, 2020, the Company was contingently liable for $32.9 million in letters of credit, of which $2.3 million were issued under the Company’s Revolving Facility.

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 are held at Corporate.

The following table displays selected financial data for the Company’s reportable business segments. Total revenues, as presented on 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 segment information has been reclassified to conform to the reporting structure change described in Note 1.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First Quarter Ended March 31, 2020

 

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 approximately 300 quarries, mines and distribution yards in 27 states, Canada and the Bahamas.  In the southwestern and 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.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company moved the management of its one quarry in the state of Washington from the Mid-America Group to the West Group, resulting in an immaterial change to its reportable segments. 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

First Quarter Ended March 31, 2020

(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.  Due to the potentially significant impact on the Company’s operations of weather and the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including governmental responses to prevent further outbreak of COVID-19 and other matters, current period results are not indicative of expected performance for other interim periods or the full year.

Earnings before interest; income taxes; depreciation, depletion and amortization; and the earnings/loss from nonconsolidated equity affiliates (Adjusted EBITDA) is an indicator used by the Company and investors to evaluate the Company’s operating performance from period to period. Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 Adjusted EBITDA may provide additional information with respect to the Company’s performance and is a measure used by management to evaluate the Company’s performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and may vary among companies, Adjusted EBITDA as presented by the Company may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies.

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

The following tables present total revenues, gross profit (loss), selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses and earnings (loss) from operations data for the Company and its reportable segments by product line for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. In each case, the data is stated as a percentage of revenues of the Company or the relevant segment or product line, as the case may be. The Company’s two cold mix asphalt plants have been reclassified from the asphalt and paving product line to the aggregates product line. These operations did not represent a material amount of product revenues and gross profit. Prior-year information has been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the Company’s current reportable product lines. Additionally, prior-year segment information has been reclassified to conform to the operations and management reporting structure change effective January 1, 2020 (see Note 1 to financial statements).

Shipments for the Mid-America Group increased 4.3%. Robust warehouse and data center construction activity in Iowa and Indiana more than offset the anticipated lower infrastructure shipments in North Carolina. Geographic mix limited pricing growth to 1.4%. Shipments for the Southeast Group decreased 3.2% as significant rainfall hindered otherwise robust construction activity. Pricing growth of 4.7% reflected the underlying strength of the North Georgia and Florida markets. West Group shipments increased 2.5%, with double-digit growth in Colorado partially offset by weather-impacted construction delays in Texas. Pricing improved 3.7%.

Aggregates End-Use Markets

Aggregates shipments to the infrastructure market increased, driven by large projects in Texas, Colorado, Iowa and Indiana. The infrastructure market accounted for 32% of first-quarter aggregates shipments, which is below the Company’s most recent ten-year annual average of 45% but consistent with historical first-quarter trends.

Aggregates shipments to the nonresidential market increased modestly following double-digit growth in commercial and heavy industrial construction activity in the prior-year quarter. The Company continued to benefit from distribution center, warehouse and data center projects in key geographies, including Texas, Colorado, Georgia, Florida and Iowa, as well as the early phases of several large energy-sector projects along the Gulf Coast. The nonresidential market represented 36% of first-quarter aggregates shipments.

Aggregates shipments to the residential market declined slightly when compared with the robust growth in homebuilding activity in the prior-year quarter. Ongoing homebuilding activity in Texas and Georgia was hindered by significant rainfall during first-quarter 2020. The residential market accounted for 25% of first-quarter aggregates shipments.

The ChemRock/Rail market accounted for the remaining 7% of first-quarter aggregates shipments. Volumes to this end use increased, driven by improved ballast shipments to the Class I western railroads and higher agricultural lime shipments.

Building Materials Business Product Lines

First-quarter aggregates shipments and pricing increased 2.3% and 2.7%, respectively, compared with the prior-year period. Aggregates product gross margin declined 160 basis points to 16.4%, despite improved operating leverage, largely driven by a $15.2 million, or 260 basis points, year-over-year impact of lower unit production costs on aggregates inventory standards.  

First-quarter cement shipments increased 5.2% and pricing improved 2.6% compared with the prior-year period. Pricing gains and production efficiencies from increased shipment and production levels, coupled with lower maintenance costs, contributed to the 1,170-basis-point expansion in cement product gross margin to 25.6%.

Ready mixed concrete pricing improved 4.6% while shipments declined 14.1% in the first quarter as compared with the prior-year period, primarily attributable to weather-impacted project delays in Texas that more than offset double-digit growth in Colorado. Asphalt volume increased 80.6% attributable to favorable weather compared with the prior-year period. Asphalt pricing decreased 1.1% due to unfavorable product mix.  

Magnesia Specialties Business

Magnesia Specialties product revenues decreased 13.4% to $59.9 million, consistent with expectations and driven by continued declines in chemicals products as international customers rationalize inventory levels. Lime shipments to the steel industry were flat. Product gross profit was $26.1 million compared with $26.6 million. Product gross margin improved 500 basis points to 43.5% due to lower energy costs and effective cost control measures. Earnings from operations were $21.7 million compared with $22.6 million.

Consolidated Operating Results

Consolidated SG&A was 8.2% of total revenues compared with 8.3% in the prior-year quarter. Earnings from operations for the quarter were $57.8 million in 2020 compared with $69.2 million in 2019.  

Among other items, other operating income and expenses, net, includes gains and losses on the sale of assets; recoveries and write-offs 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 first quarter, consolidated other operating expenses and income, net, was an expense of $5.6 million in 2020 and income of $4.7 million in 2019. The expense in 2020 included higher bad debt expense and lower gains on sales of assets compared with the prior year.  The income in 2019 reflected the reversal of $4.2 million of accruals for unclaimed property contingencies.

Other nonoperating income and expenses, net, includes interest income; pension and postretirement benefit cost, excluding service cost; foreign currency transaction gains and losses; equity in earnings or losses of nonconsolidated affiliates and other miscellaneous income and expenses.  For the first quarter, other nonoperating expenses and income, net, was expense of $2.0 million and income of $1.6 million in 2020 and 2019, respectively. The 2020 expense included $5.6 million to finance third-party railroad maintenance.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the effective income tax rate included a $6.9 million discrete benefit from financing third-party railroad maintenance. In exchange, the Company received a federal income tax credit and deduction. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the effective income tax rate included a $13.2 million discrete benefit from a change in the tax status of a subsidiary from a partnership to a corporation, contributing to an overall income tax benefit of $5.0 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the three months ended March 31, cash provided by operating activities was $106.7 million in 2020 compared with $117.9 million in 2019.  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 2019 net cash provided by operating activities was $966.1 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company paid $104.1 million for capital investments.

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 repurchased 210,616 shares of common stock during the first three months of 2020, at an aggregate cost of $50.0 million.  At March 31, 2020, 13,520,952 shares of common stock were remaining under the Company’s repurchase authorization.  Future share repurchases are at the discretion of management and have been temporarily suspended as of March 2020 in light of the COVID-19 pandemic subject to management’s determination to resume repurchases.

On March 5, 2020, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.500% Senior Notes due 2030 (the 2.500% Senior Notes). The 2.500% Senior Notes are carried net of original issue discount, which is being amortized by the effective interest method over the life of the issue. The 2.500% Senior Notes are redeemable prior to December 15, 2029 at their make-whole redemption price at a discount rate of the U.S. Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, or on or after December 15, 2029 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment at maturity of $300 million of existing floating rate notes due May 2020.

The Company has a $700 million five-year senior unsecured revolving facility (the Revolving Facility), which expires on December 5, 2024. The 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 securitization facility (the Trade Receivable Facility) held by the Company’s wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary, 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. 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.

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, fund certain acquisition opportunities that may arise, allow the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock when the repurchase program is resumed and allow for payment of dividends for the foreseeable future.  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 March 31, 2020, the Company had $757.7 million of unused borrowing capacity under its Revolving Facility and Trade Receivable Facility, subject to complying with the related leverage covenant.  The Revolving Facility matures on December 5, 2024 and the Trade Receivable Facility expires September 23, 2020. The Company has $300 million of floating rate senior notes due in May 2020. Historically, the Company has successfully extended the maturity dates of these credit facilities.  Further, other than the $300 million Floating Rate Senior Notes that mature in May 2020, for which the Company issued new 10-year notes in March 2020 to fund their repayment, the Company does not have any publicly-traded debt that matures prior to 2024.  While the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is not currently quantifiable, management believes the Company’s liquidity is sufficient to meet its cash flow needs through the foreseeable future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law in March 2020 and provides liquidity support for businesses.  The CARES Act allows the Company to defer the payment of the 6.2% employer share of Social Security taxes for the period from March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020.  Half of the deferred obligation will be due December 31, 2021 and the remaining half will be due December 31, 2022.  There will be no interest assessed on amounts deferred.  The Company estimates it will defer payment of approximately $25 million under this provision.  

The CARES Act also provides a quarterly refundable employee retention credit if companies suspend operations due to government restrictions or experience a 50% or more decline in quarterly revenues compared with the prior-year quarter.  The credit is equal to 50% of qualified wages, up to $10,000 per employee who is not performing services to the Company.  While the Company has had minimal short-term shutdowns related to the COVID-19 pandemic such that the Company has not utilized this aid, if future shutdowns are mandated and more extensive, the Company would be eligible to claim this credit.

The CARES Act also includes other provisions, including increasing the interest expense deduction limitation to 50% of adjusted taxable income and providing a credit facility for investment-grade companies. The Company does not currently expect the interest expense deduction provision to result in a change in its ability to take a full income tax deduction.  The Company also believes it has adequate liquidity and does not currently expect to utilize the credit facility.

Additionally, the Internal Revenue Service and many of the state revenue departments have issued guidance allowing companies to defer tax payments normally due on or after April 1, 2020 but before July 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020. As such, the Company has elected to defer the majority of its 2020 estimated income tax payments that were due April 15, 2020 until July 15, 2020, and plans to defer its second quarter 2020 estimated tax payments from June 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020.

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, 2019.  Management continues to evaluate its exposure to all operating risks on an ongoing basis. A discussion of risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic are included in Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors of this report.

OUTLOOK

Of the Company’s three primary end uses, the outlook for infrastructure construction, particularly for aggregates-intensive highways and streets, is expected to be the most near-term resilient. While the majority of the United States has currently been ordered to shelter in place, most state Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are currently operational and continue to advance current and planned transportation projects, capitalizing on the reduction of vehicles on the road and related traffic congestion. Florida, for example, recently announced plans to accelerate $2.1 billion of critical transportation projects. That said, state DOTs are experiencing lower tax revenue collections and states may have other short-term funding needs relating to the COVID-19 impact that may impact decrease the scale and/or postpone the timing of future construction.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global and domestic economy is currently not fully known.  The Company’s operations have to date been considered “essential” operations under applicable governmental orders that restrict activities in an effort to prevent further outbreak of COVID-19. As such, the Company is conducting business with certain modifications, including having non-operational personnel working remotely; limiting site access to necessary employees and critical third parties; engaging medical experts to screen those who may have had COVID-19 exposure before allowing access to sites; enhancing the cleaning and disinfection of equipment and common areas, including engaging third-party specialists to disinfect work spaces; and issuing a quarantine policy requiring employees with COVID-19 symptoms to stay home for at least 14 days, among other things.  The Company continues to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter its business operations including any that may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that the Company determines are in the best interests of its employees, customers, suppliers, vendors, communities and other stakeholders.

Demand for aggregates products, particularly in the infrastructure construction market, is affected by federal, state and local budget and deficit issues. Remote working and stay-at-home orders and other guidelines are reducing miles driven, which is having a negative impact on various revenue streams that fund roadway projects. Further, delays or cancellations of 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. Additionally, homebuilders may be reluctant to commence new housing development projects until there is greater clarity on the overall economic impact of COVID-19. The residential construction market accounted for 22% of the Company’s aggregates shipments in 2019 and 25% in the first quarter of 2020.

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.

Aside from these inherent risks from within its operations, the Company’s earnings are also affected by changes in short-term interest rates.

Variable-Rate Borrowing Facilities. At March 31, 2020, the Company had a $700 million Revolving Facility and a $400 million Trade Receivable Facility. The Company also has $300 million variable-rate senior notes which matures May 2020.  Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at a variable interest rate. A hypothetical 100-basis-point increase in interest rates on borrowings of $640 million, which was the collective outstanding balance at March 31, 2020, would increase interest expense by $6.4 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, 2019. While U.S Treasury yields declined in March 2020 due to the economic impact of COVID-19, high-quality corporate bond yields did not fluctuate as significantly as U.S. Treasury yields during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.  However, the fair value of the Company’s pension assets has declined during the first quarter.  Unless an event requires an interim remeasurement, the Company will next remeasure its pension obligation and funded status as of December 31, 2020.  Any decrease in pension asset values will negatively impact 2021 pension expense.

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 a majority of its 2020 coal requirements.  Energy costs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased approximately 2.9% compared with the prior-year period due to the devaluation of crude oil starting in 2020; however, any future energy prices cannot be reliably predicted.  A hypothetical 2.9% change in the Company’s energy prices for the full year 2020 as compared with 2019, assuming constant volumes, would change full year 2020 energy expense by $8.1 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 full year 2019 total product revenues for cement of $439 million, a hypothetical 10% change in sales price would impact total revenues by $43.9 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  As of March 31, 2020, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2020. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II- OTHER INFORMATION

 

Certain legal proceedings in which the Company is involved are discussed in Note O to the consolidated financial statements and Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. See also Note 8 Commitments and Contingencies, Legal and Administrative Proceedings, of this Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company’s businesses could be adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, or any other outbreak of disease, epidemic or pandemic, or similar public health threat, or fear of such an event and its related economic and societal response.

The Company could be negatively impacted by the widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis that results in economic and trade disruptions. In or around December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was initially reported and in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The spreading of COVID-19 and the related governmental orders limiting individuals’ movements and social gatherings as well as requiring many businesses to close for an undetermined period of time are negatively impacting economic activity, consumer confidence and discretionary spending, and market conditions.  Further, COVID-19 could continue to negatively affect the health of the Company’s employees, employee productivity, customer purchasing patterns and fulfillment of purchase orders, availability of supplies, pricing for raw materials, and the ability to transport materials via the Company’s distribution network. While the Company’s operations have been treated as “essential” operations under applicable government orders restricting business activities imposed to prevent further outbreak of COVID-19, and accordingly have been permitted to continue to operate, it is possible that they may not continue to be so treated under future government orders, or, even if so treated, site-specific health and safety concerns might otherwise require certain of the Company’s operations to be halted for some period of time. The Company is monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on its operations and on the demand for its products. Due to economic uncertainty related to COVID-19, contractors and customers may delay advancing, or ultimately cancel, building projects. In addition, reduced travel due to remote working and stay-at-home practices, including as a result of governmental orders restricting activity, may continue to negatively impact fuel tax revenues that fund highway projects. While the Company does not currently expect that the virus will have a material adverse effect on its liquidity, it is unable to accurately and fully predict the impact that the COVID-19 will have on its results of operations due to various uncertainties, including the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, actions that may be taken by governmental authorities and other third-parties in response to COVID-19 and the timing and pace of any economic recovery as COVID-19 impacts ultimately abate.  

Other than the item listed above, there have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Statements of the Martin Marietta Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
