EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “report”) is a combined quarterly report being filed separately by two registrants: Summit Materials, Inc. and Summit Materials, LLC. Each registrant hereto is filing on its own behalf all of the information contained in this report that relates to such registrant. Each registrant hereto is not filing any information that does not relate to such registrant, and therefore makes no representation as to any such information. We believe that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Summit Materials, Inc. and Summit Materials, LLC into this single report eliminates duplicative and potentially confusing disclosure and provides a more streamlined presentation since a substantial amount of the disclosure applies to both registrants.

 

Unless stated otherwise or the context requires otherwise, references to “Summit Inc.” mean Summit Materials, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and references to “Summit LLC” mean Summit Materials, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The references to Summit Inc. and Summit LLC are used in cases where it is important to distinguish between them. We use the terms “we,” “our,” “us” or “the Company” to refer to Summit Inc. and Summit LLC together with their respective subsidiaries, unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires.

 

Summit Inc. was formed on September 23, 2014 to be a holding company. As of April 1, 2017, its sole material asset was a 95.6% economic interest in Summit Materials Holdings L.P. (“Summit Holdings”). Summit Inc. has 100% of the voting rights of Summit Holdings, which is the indirect parent of Summit LLC. Summit LLC is a co-issuer of our outstanding 8  1/2% senior notes due 2022 (“2022 Notes”) and our 6 1/8% senior notes due 2023 (“2023 Notes” and collectively with the 2022 Notes, the "Senior Notes"). Summit Inc.’s only revenue for the three months ended April 1, 2017 was that generated by Summit LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries. Summit Inc. controls all of the business and affairs of Summit Holdings and, in turn, Summit LLC.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “trends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans, expectations or intentions. All statements made relating to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the effect of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or our objectives and plans will be realized. Important factors could affect our results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Summit Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the “Annual Report”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), any factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this report and the following:

SUMMIT MATERIALS, INC.

 

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(Tables in thousands, except share amounts)

 

1.SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Summit Materials, Inc. (“Summit Inc.” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a vertically-integrated construction materials company. The Company is engaged in the production and sale of aggregates, cement, ready-mix concrete, asphalt paving mix and concrete products and owns and operates quarries, sand and gravel pits, two cement plants, cement distribution terminals, ready-mix concrete plants, asphalt plants and landfill sites. It is also engaged in paving and related services. The Company’s three operating and reporting segments are the West, East and Cement segments.

 

Substantially all of the Company’s products and services are produced, consumed and performed outdoors, primarily in the spring, summer and fall. Seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions can affect the production and sales volumes of its products and delivery of services. Therefore, the financial results for any interim period are typically not indicative of the results expected for the full year. Furthermore, the Company’s sales and earnings are sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions and to cyclical changes in construction spending, among other factors.

 

On September 23, 2014, Summit Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation to be a holding company. Its sole material asset is a controlling equity interest in Summit Materials Holdings L.P. (“Summit Holdings”). Pursuant to a reorganization into a holding company structure (the “Reorganization”) consummated in connection with Summit Inc.’s March 2015 initial public offering, Summit Inc. became a holding corporation operating and controlling all of the business and affairs of Summit Holdings and its subsidiaries and, through Summit Holdings, conducts its business.

 

Equity OfferingOn January 10, 2017, Summit Inc. raised $237.6 million, net of underwriting discounts, through the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $24.05 per share. Summit Inc. used these proceeds to purchase an equal number of limited partnership interests in Summit Holdings (“LP Units”) and caused Summit Holdings to use a portion of the proceeds from the offering to acquire two materials-based companies for a combined purchase price of approximately $110 million in cash, with remaining net proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, but is not limited to, funding acquisitions, repaying indebtedness, capital expenditures and funding working capital.

 

Basis of Presentation—These unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in those consolidated financial statements.

 

Management believes that these consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of April 1, 2017 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016.

 

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Summit Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. As a result of the Reorganization, Summit Holdings became a variable interest entity over which Summit Inc. has 100% voting power and control and for which Summit Inc. has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits. As a result, Summit Inc. is Summit Holdings’ primary beneficiary and thus consolidates Summit Holdings in its consolidated financial statements with a corresponding noncontrolling interest elimination, which was 4.4% and 5.1% as of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Table of Contents

 

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries represent a 20% ownership in Ohio Valley Asphalt, LLC. The Company attributes consolidated stockholders’ equity and net income separately to the controlling and noncontrolling interests. The Company accounts for investments in entities for which it has an ownership of 20% to 50% using the equity method of accounting.

 

Use of Estimates—Preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of deferred tax assets, goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement obligations and asset retirement obligations. Estimates also include revenue earned on contracts and costs to complete contracts. Most of the Company’s paving and related services are performed under fixed unit-price contracts with state and local governmental entities. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results can differ significantly from estimates made. Changes in estimates, including those resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment, are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the change in estimate occurs.

 

Business and Credit Concentrations—The Company’s operations are conducted primarily across 21 U.S. states and in British Columbia, Canada, with the most significant revenue generated in Texas, Kansas, Utah and Missouri. The Company’s accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from customers within these areas. Therefore, collection of these accounts is dependent on the economic conditions in the aforementioned states, as well as specific situations affecting individual customers. Credit granted within the Company’s trade areas has been granted to many customers, and management does not believe that a significant concentration of credit exists with respect to any individual customer or group of customers. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue in the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016.

 

Earnings per Share—The Company computes basic earnings per share attributable to stockholders by dividing income attributable to Summit Inc. by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic earnings per share that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in the Company’s earnings. Since the Class B common stock has no economic value, those shares are not included in the weighted-average common share amount for basic or diluted earnings per share. In addition, as the shares of Class A common stock are issued by Summit Inc., the earnings and equity interests of noncontrolling interests are not included in basic earnings per share.

 

Fair Value Measurements—Certain acquisitions made by the Company require the payment of contingent amounts of purchase consideration. These payments are contingent on specified operating results being achieved in periods subsequent to the acquisition and will only be made if earn-out thresholds are achieved. Contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value each reporting period. Any adjustments to fair value are recognized in earnings in the period identified.

The Company has entered into interest rate derivatives on $200.0 million of its term loan borrowings to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The fair value of contingent consideration and derivatives as of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was:

The fair value of contingent consideration was based on unobservable, or Level 3, inputs, including projected probability-weighted cash payments and an 11.0% discount rate, which reflects a market discount rate. Changes in fair value may occur as a result of a change in actual or projected cash payments, the probability weightings applied by the Company to projected payments or a change in the discount rate. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation could result in a lower, or higher, fair value measurement. The fair value of the cash flow hedges are based on observable, or Level 2, inputs such as interest rates, bond yields and prices in inactive markets. There were no material valuation adjustments to contingent consideration or derivatives in the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016.

 

Financial Instruments—The Company’s financial instruments include debt and certain acquisition-related liabilities (deferred consideration and noncompete obligations). The carrying value and fair value of these financial instruments as of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was:

The fair value of debt was determined based on observable, or Level 2, inputs, such as interest rates, bond yields and quoted prices in inactive markets. The fair values of the deferred consideration and noncompete obligations were determined based on unobservable, or Level 3, inputs, including the cash payment terms in the purchase agreements and a discount rate reflecting the Company’s credit risk. The discount rate used is generally consistent with that used when the obligations were initially recorded.

 

Securities with a maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents and the fair value of these assets approximates their carrying value.

New Accounting Standards — In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires that the service cost component be reported in the same line item as employer compensation costs and that the other components of periodic pension costs be reported

Table of Contents

outside of operating income. The ASU also restricts capitalization of costs to the service cost component. The ASU is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company early adopted this ASU as of the beginning of fiscal year 2017, on a retrospective basis; accordingly, the Company reclassified $98,000 from product cost of revenue to other income in the three months ended April 2, 2016 to conform to the current year presentation.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,  which eliminates the two step goodwill impairment test and replaces it with a single step test.  The single step test compares the carrying amount of a reporting unit to its fair value; if the carrying amount is greater than the fair value the difference is the amount of the goodwill impairment.  Step zero is left unchanged. Therefore, entities that wish to do a qualitative assessment are still permitted to do so. The ASU is effective for SEC filers for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. However, the Company early adopted this ASU as of the beginning of fiscal year 2017. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires that the income tax effect of share-based awards be recognized in the income statement and allows entities to elect an accounting method to recognize forfeitures as they occur or to estimate forfeitures. The Company early adopted this ASU as of the beginning of fiscal year 2016 and made an election to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The ASU adoption was applied using a modified retrospective method by means of a $1.7 million cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated earnings (deficit) as of the beginning of the fiscal year.

 

2.ACQUISITIONS

 

The Company has completed numerous acquisitions since its formation, which have been financed through a combination of debt and equity funding. The operations of each acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations since the respective closing dates of the acquisitions.

Reflects goodwill from 2017 acquisitions and working capital adjustments from prior year acquisitions.

 

The Company’s intangible assets are primarily composed of goodwill, lease agreements and reserve rights. The assets related to lease agreements reflect the submarket royalty rates paid under agreements, primarily for extracting aggregates. The values were determined as of the respective acquisition dates by a comparison of market-royalty rates. The reserve rights relate to aggregate reserves to which the Company has the rights of ownership, but does not own the reserves. The intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the leases. The following table shows intangible assets by type and in total:

Senior Notes— On March 8, 2016, Summit LLC and Summit Materials Finance Corp., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit LLC ("Finance Corp." and with Summit LLC, the “Issuers”) issued $250.0 million of 8.500% senior notes due April 15, 2022 (the “2022 Notes”).  The 2022 Notes were issued at 100.0% of their par value with proceeds of $246.3 million, net of related fees and expenses. The proceeds from the sale of the 2022 Notes were used to fund the acquisition of Boxley, replenish cash used for the acquisition of AMC and pay expenses incurred in connection with these acquisitions. The 2022 Notes were issued under an indenture dated March 8, 2016 (as amended and supplemented, the “2016 Indenture”). The 2016 Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, Summit LLC and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make certain investments, sell or transfer certain assets, create liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The 2016 Indenture also contains customary events of default. Interest on the 2022 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. 

 

In 2015, the Issuers issued $650.0 million of 6.125% senior notes due July 2023 (the "2023 Notes” and collectively with the 2022 Notes, the “Senior Notes”). Of the aggregate $650.0 million of 2023 Notes, $350.0 million were issued at par and $300.0 million were issued at 99.375% of par. The 2023 Notes were issued under an indenture dated July 8, 2015, the terms of which are generally consistent with the 2016 Indenture. Interest on the 2023 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year.

 

As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the applicable indentures.

 

Senior Secured Credit Facilities— Summit LLC has credit facilities that provide for term loans in an aggregate amount of $650.0 million and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $235.0 million (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). Under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, required principal repayments of 0.25% of the original aggregate amount of term debt are due on the last business day of each March, June, September and December. The unpaid principal balance is due in full on the maturity date, which is July 17, 2022.

 

On January 19, 2017, Summit LLC entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “Credit Agreement”), which, among other things, reduced the applicable margin in respect of the $640.3 million outstanding principal amount of term loans thereunder and included a 1.00% prepayment premium in connection with certain further repricing events that occur on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the effective date of Amendment No. 1. All other material terms and provisions remain substantially identical to the terms and provisions in place immediately prior to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 1.

 

The revolving credit facility bears interest per annum equal to, at Summit LLC’s option, either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin of 2.25% for base rate loans or (ii) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to Reuters prior to the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs plus an applicable margin of 3.25% for LIBOR rate loans.

Table of Contents

 

There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, leaving remaining borrowing capacity of $215.4 million as of April 1, 2017, which is net of $19.6 million of outstanding letters of credit. The outstanding letters of credit are renewed annually and support required bonding on construction projects and the Company’s insurance liabilities.

 

Summit LLC’s Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement, should be no greater than 4.75:1.0 as of each quarter-end. As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Summit LLC was in compliance with all financial covenants.

 

Summit LLC’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiary companies, subject to certain exclusions and exceptions, are named as subsidiary guarantors of the Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. In addition, Summit LLC has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral, subject to certain exclusions and exceptions, for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

 

Interest expense related to debt totaled $21.6 million and $18.3 million in the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016, respectively.

8.INCOME TAXES

 

Summit Inc.’s tax provision includes its proportional share of Summit Holdings’ tax attributes. Summit Holdings’ subsidiaries are primarily limited liability companies, but do include certain entities organized as C corporations and a Canadian subsidiary. The tax attributes related to the limited liability companies are passed on to Summit Holdings and then to its partners, including Summit Inc. The tax attributes associated with the C corporation and Canadian subsidiaries are fully reflected in the Company’s accounts.

 

As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Summit Inc. had a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets of $517.2 million and $502.8 million, respectively, which primarily consisted of a temporary difference related to the tax intangible assets basis in excess of book.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, including the deferred tax assets generated under the tax receivable agreement described below, management determined that it was more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible and consideration of tax-planning strategies. Considering these factors, an increase in valuation allowance was recorded, which has resulted in no provision for the three months ended April 1, 2017. The effective tax rate for Summit Inc. differs from the federal rate primarily due to (1) the change in valuation allowance, (2) tax depletion expense in excess of the expense recorded under U.S. GAAP, (3) the minority interest in the partnership that is allocated outside of the Company and (4) various other items such as limitations on meals and entertainment, certain stock compensation and other costs.

 

Tax Receivable Agreement—The Company is party to a tax receivable agreement with the holders of LP Units and certain other pre-initial public offering owners (“Investor Entities”) that provides for the payment by Summit Inc. to exchanging holders of LP Units of 85% of the benefits, if any, that Summit Inc. is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in the tax basis of tangible and intangible assets of Summit Holdings and (ii) the utilization of certain net operating losses of the Investor Entities and certain other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement. In the three months ended April 1, 2017, 236,095 LP Units were acquired by Summit Inc. in exchange for an equal number of newly-issued shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock. This exchange resulted in a deferred tax asset of approximately $2.7 million, 85% of which is a liability due to the holders of the exchanged LP Units. As discussed above, a valuation allowance was recognized on the deferred tax asset. As realization of the full tax benefit is not currently deemed probable, the related liability to the former holders of LP Units exchanged is not considered probable and is not included in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company considers all available evidence (both positive and negative), including continuing periods of income and other tax planning strategies, in determining whether realization of the tax benefit is more likely than not.  The Company will continue to monitor facts and circumstances in the reassessment of the likelihood that the tax benefit will be realized. If this were to

15


 

Table of Contents

occur through regular operations, the valuation allowance, or portion thereof, would be released with a corresponding charge to Other Expense for the liability due to former LP Unit holders equal to 85% of the valuation allowance release.

 

Tax Distributions – The holders of Summit Holdings’ LP Units, including Summit Inc., incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their share of any taxable income of Summit Holdings. The limited partnership agreement of Summit Holdings provides for pro rata cash distributions (“tax distributions”) to the holders of the LP Units in an amount generally calculated to provide each holder of LP Units with sufficient cash to cover its tax liability in respect of the LP Units. In general, these tax distributions are computed based on Summit Holdings’ estimated taxable income allocated to each holder of LP Units multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate applicable to an individual or corporate resident in New York, New York (or a corporate resident in certain circumstances). In the three months ended April 1, 2017 $79,000 of tax distribution payments and none were made for the three months ended April 2, 2016.

 

C Corporation Subsidiaries — The effective income tax rate for the C corporations differ from the statutory federal rate primarily due to (1) tax depletion expense in excess of the expense recorded under U.S. GAAP, (2) state income taxes and the effect of graduated tax rates and (3) various other items such as limitations on meals and entertainment and other costs. The effective income tax rate for the Canadian subsidiary is not significantly different from its historical effective tax rate.

As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Summit Inc. and its subsidiaries had not recognized any liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company records interest and penalties as a component of the income tax provision. No material interest or penalties were recognized in income tax expense during the three months ended April 1, 2017, or April 2, 2016.

 

9.    NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding and diluted net loss is computed by dividing net loss, adjusted for changes in the earnings allocated to Summit Inc. as a result of the assumed conversion of LP Units, by the weighted-average common shares outstanding assuming dilution.

10.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is party to certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business activities. Accruals are recorded when the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. While the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects that the ultimate resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity. The Company records legal fees as incurred.

 

Litigation and Claims—The Company is obligated under an indemnification agreement entered into with the sellers of Harper Contracting, Inc., Harper Sand and Gravel, Inc., Harper Excavating, Inc., Harper Ready Mix Company, Inc. and Harper Investments, Inc. for the sellers’ ownership interests in a joint venture agreement. The Company has the rights to any benefits under the joint venture as well as the assumption of any obligations, but does not own equity interests in the joint venture. The joint venture has incurred significant losses on a highway project in Utah, which have resulted in requests for funding from the joint venture partners and ultimately from the Company. Through April 1, 2017, the Company has funded $8.8 million, $4.0 million in 2012 and $4.8 million in 2011. In 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized losses on the indemnification agreement of $8.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, an accrual of $4.3 million was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities as management’s best estimate of future funding obligations.

 

Environmental Remediation and Site Restoration —The Company’s operations are subject to and affected by federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, health and safety and other regulatory matters. These operations require environmental operating permits, which are subject to modification, renewal and revocation. The Company regularly monitors and reviews its operations, procedures and policies for compliance with these laws and regulations. Despite these compliance efforts, risk of environmental liability is inherent in the operation of the Company’s business, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses and there can be no assurance that environmental liabilities or noncompliance will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

The Company has asset retirement obligations arising from regulatory and contractual requirements to perform reclamation activities at the time certain quarries and landfills are closed. As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $20.4 million and $18.8 million, respectively, were included in other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and $5.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, were included in accrued expenses for future reclamation costs. The total undiscounted anticipated costs for site reclamation as of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $67.6 million and $63.6 million, respectively.

 

Other—The Company is obligated under various firm purchase commitments for certain raw materials and services that are in the ordinary course of business. Management does not expect any significant changes in the market value of these goods and services during the commitment period that would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. The terms of the purchase commitments generally approximate one year.

The operating results of each segment are regularly reviewed and evaluated by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM primarily evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on a segment profit metric that we call Adjusted EBITDA, which is computed as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, accretion, share-based compensation, and transaction costs, as well as various other non-recurring, non-cash amounts.

 

The West and East segments are engaged in various activities including quarry mining, aggregate production and contracting. The Cement segment is engaged in the production of Portland cement. Assets employed by each segment include assets directly identified with those operations. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash, property, plant and equipment for corporate operations and other assets not directly identifiable with a reportable business segment. The accounting policies applicable to each segment are consistent with those used in the consolidated financial statements.

 

The following tables display selected financial data for the Company’s reportable business segments as of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and for the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016:

Overview

 

We are one of the fastest growing construction materials companies in the United States. Our materials include aggregates, which we supply across the United States, and in British Columbia, Canada, and cement, which we supply along the Mississippi River from Minneapolis to New Orleans. Within our markets, we offer customers a single-source provider for construction materials and related downstream products through our vertical integration. In addition to supplying aggregates to customers, we use a portion of our materials internally to produce ready-mix concrete and asphalt paving mix, which may be sold externally or used in our paving and related services businesses. Our vertically-integrated business model creates opportunities to increase aggregates sales, optimize margin at each stage of production and provide customers with efficiency gains, convenience and reliability, which we believe provides us a competitive advantage in the markets we serve.

 

We have completed 53 acquisitions, which are organized into 12 operating companies that make up our three distinct operating segments—West, East and Cement—spanning 20 U.S. states and British Columbia, Canada and 42 metropolitan statistical areas. Our highly experienced management team, led by our President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Hill, a 35-year industry veteran, has successfully enhanced the operations of acquired companies by focusing on scale advantages, cost efficiencies and pricing discipline to improve profitability and cash flow.

 

As of April 1, 2017, we had 2.9 billion tons of proven and probable aggregates reserves serving our aggregates and cement businesses and operated over 300 sites and plants, to which we believe we have adequate road, barge and/or railroad access.

Business Trends and Conditions

 

The U.S. construction materials industry is composed of four primary sectors: aggregates; cement; ready-mix concrete; and asphalt paving mix. Each of these materials is widely used in most forms of construction activity. Participants in these sectors typically range from small, privately-held companies focused on a single material, product or market to multinational corporations that offer a wide array of construction materials and services. Competition is constrained in part by the distance materials can be transported efficiently, resulting in predominantly local or regional operations. Due to the lack of product differentiation, competition for all of our products is predominantly based on price and, to a lesser extent, quality of products and service. As a result, the prices we charge our customers are not likely to be materially different from the prices charged by other producers in the same markets. Accordingly, our profitability is generally dependent on the level of demand for our products in the local and regional markets and our ability to control operating costs.

 

Our revenue is derived from multiple end-use markets including public infrastructure construction and private residential and nonresidential construction. Public infrastructure includes spending by federal, state, provincial and local governments for roads, highways, bridges, airports and other infrastructure projects. Public infrastructure projects have historically been a relatively stable portion of state and federal budgets. Residential and nonresidential construction

23


 

Table of Contents

consists of new construction and repair and remodel markets. Any economic stagnation or decline, which could vary by local region and market, could affect our results of operations. Our sales and earnings are sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions and particularly to cyclical changes in construction spending, especially in the private sector. From a macroeconomic view, we see positive indicators for the construction sector, including upward trends in highway obligations, housing starts and construction employment. All of these factors should result in increased construction activity in the private sector. However, construction activity is not consistent across the United States. Certain of our markets are showing greater, more rapid signs of recovery.

 

Transportation infrastructure projects, driven by both federal and state funding programs, represent a significant share of the U.S. construction materials market. Federal funds are allocated to the states, which are required to match a portion of the federal funds they receive. Federal highway spending uses funds predominantly from the Federal Highway Trust Fund, which derives its revenue from taxes on diesel fuel, gasoline and other user fees. The dependability of federal funding allows the state departments of transportation to plan for their long term highway construction and maintenance needs. Funding for the existing federal transportation funding program extends through 2020. With the nation’s infrastructure aging, there is increasing momentum to grow federal infrastructure spending among certain legislators and the U.S. President.

 

In addition to federal funding, state, county and local agencies provide highway construction and maintenance funding. Each of our four largest states by revenue (Texas, Kansas, Utah and Missouri, which represented approximately 25%, 14%, 12% and 12%, respectively, of our total revenue in 2016) have funds whose revenue sources have certain constitutional protections that limit spending to transportation projects:

 

·

Texas’ Unified Transportation Program plans for $70 billon to fund transportation projects from 2017 – 2026.

 

o

In November 2014, Texas voters approved a ballot measure known as Proposition 1, which authorized a portion of the severance taxes on oil and natural gas to be redirected to the State Highway Fund each year.

 

o

In November 2015, voters approved the ballot measure known as Proposition 7, authorizing a constitutional amendment for transportation funding. The amendment dedicates a portion of the state’s general sales and use taxes and motor vehicle sales and rental taxes to the State Highway Fund for use on non-tolled projects. Beginning in September 2017 (fiscal year 2018), if general state sales and use tax revenue exceeds $28 billion in a fiscal year, the next $2.5 billion will be directed to the State Highway Fund. Additionally, beginning in September 2019 (fiscal year 2020), if state motor vehicle sales and rental tax revenue exceeds $5 billion in a fiscal year, 35% of the amount above $5 billion will be directed to the State Highway Fund.

 

·

Kansas has a 10‑year $8.2 billion highway bill that was passed in May 2010.

 

·

Utah’s transportation investment fund has $2.3 billion programmed for 2017 – 2022.

 

·

Missouri’s Statewide Transportation Improved Program for 2017 – 2021 states $4.0 billion available for awards for highway and bridge construction.

 

 

Use and consumption of our products fluctuate due to seasonality. Nearly all of the products used by us, and by our customers, in the private construction and public infrastructure industries are used outdoors. Our highway operations and production and distribution facilities are also located outdoors. Therefore, seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions, in particular extended rainy and cold weather in the spring and fall and major weather events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms and heavy snows, can adversely affect our business and operations through a decline in both the use of our products and demand for our services. In addition, construction materials production and shipment levels follow activity in the construction industry, which typically occurs in the spring, summer and fall. Warmer and drier weather during the second and third quarters of our fiscal year typically result in higher activity and revenue levels during those quarters.

 

We are subject to commodity price risk with respect to price changes in liquid asphalt and energy, including fossil fuels and electricity for aggregates, cement, ready-mix concrete and asphalt paving mix production, natural gas for

24


 

Table of Contents

hot mix asphalt production and diesel fuel for distribution vehicles and production related mobile equipment. Liquid asphalt escalator provisions in most of our private and commercial contracts limit our exposure to price fluctuations in this commodity. We often obtain similar escalators on public infrastructure contracts. In addition, we enter into various firm purchase commitments, with terms generally less than one year, for certain raw materials.

 

Backlog

 

Our products are generally delivered upon receipt of orders or requests from customers, or shortly thereafter. Accordingly, the backlog associated with product sales is converted into revenue within a relatively short period of time. Inventory for products is generally maintained in sufficient quantities to meet rapid delivery requirements of customers. Therefore, a period over period increase or decrease of backlog does not necessarily result in an improvement or a deterioration of our business. Our backlog includes only those products and projects for which we have obtained a purchase order or a signed contract with the customer and does not include products purchased and sold or services awarded and provided within the period. Subject to applicable contract terms, substantially all contracts in our backlog may be cancelled or modified by our customers. Historically, we have not been materially adversely affected by contract cancellations or modifications.

 

As a vertically-integrated business, approximately 21% of aggregates sold were used internally in our ready-mix concrete and asphalt paving mixes and approximately 58% of the asphalt paving mix were laid by our paving crews during the three months ended April 1, 2017. Our backlog as of April 1, 2017, was 18.2 million tons of aggregates, 1.3 million cubic yards of ready-mix concrete, 3.1 million tons of asphalt and $472.1 million of construction services, which includes the value of the aggregate and asphalt tons and ready-mix concrete cubic yards that are expected to be sourced internally.

 

Financial Highlights

 

The principal factors in evaluating our financial condition and operating results for the three months ended April 1, 2017 as compared to April 2, 2016, are:

 

·

Net revenue increased $51.0 million in the three months ended April 1, 2017 as a result of pricing and volume increases across our product lines, which includes volume contributions from our acquisitions.

 

·

Our operating loss increased $3.3 million in the three months ended April 1, 2017 primarily due to increases in general and administrative expense resulting from increased headcount, salaries and benefits from recent completed acquisitions. Our general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2017 are a higher percentage of net revenue than in the same period in 2016, as our first quarter 2017 net loss was negatively impacted by the seasonal results from most of the 2016 acquisitions which were not fully reflected in our first quarter 2016 results due to the timing of those acquisitions.

 

·

In January 2017, we raised $237.6 million, net of underwriting discounts, through the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $24.05 per share.

 

Acquisitions

 

In addition to our organic growth, we continued to grow our business through acquisitions, completing the following transactions in 2017 and 2016:

 

·

On May 1, 2017, we acquired Winvan Paving, a paving and construction services company based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

 

·

On April 3, 2017, we acquired Carolina Sand, a sand and trucking business with four sand pits in northeastern South Carolina.

 

·

On April 3, 2017, we acquired Hanna’s Bend, an aggregates-based business with one sand and gravel pit servicing the Houston, Texas market.

·

On February 5, 2016, we acquired AMC, an aggregates company with five sand and gravel pits servicing coastal North and South Carolina.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following discussion of our results of operations is focused on the key financial measures we use to evaluate the performance of our business from both a consolidated and operating segment perspective. Operating income and margins are discussed in terms of changes in volume, pricing and mix of revenue source (i.e., type of product sales or service revenue). We focus on operating margin, which we define as operating income as a percentage of net revenue, as a key metric when assessing the performance of the business, as we believe that analyzing changes in costs in relation to changes in revenue provides more meaningful insight into the results of operations than examining costs in isolation.

 

Operating income (loss) reflects our profit from continuing operations after taking into consideration cost of revenue, general and administrative expenses, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion and transaction costs. Cost of revenue generally increases ratably with revenue, as labor, transportation costs and subcontractor costs are recorded in cost of revenue. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue vary throughout the year due to the seasonality of our business. As a result of our revenue growth occurring primarily through acquisitions, general and administrative expenses and depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion have historically grown ratably with revenue. However, as volumes increase, we expect these costs, as a percentage of revenue, to decrease. Our transaction costs fluctuate with the number and size of acquisitions completed each year.

Net revenue increased $51.0 million in the three months ended April 1, 2017, primarily resulting from our acquisition program. Of the increase in net revenue, $22.6 million was from increased sales of materials, $22.3 million was from increased sales of products, and $6.1 million was from increased service revenue. We also generated organic volume growth in our aggregates, cement and asphalt lines of business during the first quarter of 2017 over the prior year period. We also had organic price and volume growth in our materials businesses, which includes our aggregate and cement lines of business during the first quarter of 2017. Additional discussion about the impact of acquisitions on each segment is presented in more detail below.

 

In the three months ended April 1, 2017, $41.3 million and $9.7 million of the net revenue growth was from acquisitions and organic revenue, respectively. Operating loss increased by $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the first quarter of 2016 as a result of an increase in our general administrative expenses, as well as an increase in our depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion. Our general and administrative expenses increased due to additional headcount primarily from acquisition activity, as well as increased stock compensation resulting from grants in 2017. Our depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion increased $7.4 million due to acquisitions completed in 2016.

 

Our operating margin percentage improved 150 basis points from (14.2)% to (12.7)% in the first quarter of 2017, as compared to the first quarter of 2016, due to pricing on materials and cement volume growth. Adjusted EBITDA increased $5.2 million to $13.6 million as described below.

 

Throughout 2016 and 2017, holders of Summit Holdings converted their LP Units to Class A Common Stock of Summit Inc. As a result, the ownership percentage of the noncontrolling interest decreased from 50.3% as of April 2, 2016 to 4.4% as of April 1, 2017.  Accordingly, although the amount of net loss increased by $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2017, the amount of net loss attributable to Summit Holdings decreased from $21.3 million in the first quarter of 2016 to $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2017.

 

As a vertically-integrated company, we include intercompany sales from materials to products and from products to services when assessing the operating results of our business. We refer to revenue inclusive of intercompany sales as gross revenue. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Volumes are shown in tons for aggregates, cement and asphalt and in cubic yards for ready-mix concrete.

(2)

Pricing is shown on a per ton basis for aggregates, cement and asphalt and on a per cubic yard basis for ready-mix concrete.

 

Aggregates volumes were positively affected by the acquisitions completed in 2016 and early 2017, together with broad based growth in most of our markets, partially offset by declines in our Missouri and Houston markets. Organic aggregate volumes increased 0.6% in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period a year ago primarily from Austin, northeast Texas and Utah, offset by a decline in Houston, Texas. In Houston, Texas, volumes were affected by softness in the residential construction market.  Aggregate pricing improved to $9.84 per ton, primarily coming from the Carolinas, Utah and northeast Texas.

 

Revenue from cement increased $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the first quarter of 2016, due primarily to improved organic volume and improved average selling price. Our organic cement volumes increased 17.6% due to improved weather along the Mississippi river corridor and new customer acquisitions. Pricing for cement improved by 7.3% to $111.48 per ton in the first quarter of 2017 primarily resulting from the price increases implemented in 2016.

 

Revenue from ready-mix concrete increased $13.1 million, primarily from the acquisitions referred to above, offset by decreases in organic ready-mix volumes of 11.4%. Pricing for ready-mix concrete decreased by 2.2% to $103.04 per ton in the first quarter of 2017 primarily due to increased competition in our Houston market and product mix in our Las Vegas market.

 

Revenue from asphalt increased $6.9 million in the three months ended April 1, 2017. Our organic asphalt volumes increased 64.5% with the balance of the increased volumes coming from acquisitions. Our revenue in Austin, Texas, was higher in the first quarter of 2017 as an aggressive competitor contributed to the decrease in our paving and related services revenue in 2016. In the first quarter of 2017, our marketing efforts were able to improve our market share over 2016 levels in the Austin market. Pricing for asphalt declined 7.4% as liquid asphalt prices have decreased.

Other Financial Information

Income Tax Benefit

 

The income tax benefit of $2.2 million in the three months ended April 1, 2017 was primarily due to the benefit associated with the depletion in excess of GAAP depletion recognized in the C corporations in the three months ended April 1, 2017.

Net revenue in the West segment increased 15.9% in the three months ended April 1, 2017, primarily due to incremental revenue from the acquisition of Everist Materials in early 2017 and 2016 acquisitions of Midland Concrete, Rustin and Sierra in 2016.

 

The West segment’s operating loss improved $2.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA improved $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to 2016. The improvement in West operating loss and adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher organic average selling prices for aggregates and improved organic volume growth in asphalt, as well as contributions from the acquisitions mentioned above. As a result, the operating margin percentage in the West segment improved in the three months ended April 1, 2017 to (0.2)% as compared to the three months ended April 2, 2016 at (2.5)%.

Revenue from aggregates in the West segment increased $2.1 million primarily due to a 3.0% increase in both volumes and pricing. The increase in aggregates volumes was primarily in the Utah, Austin, northeast Texas and Vancouver, British Columbia markets. Aggregates volume increased due to organic growth in these markets with contribution from the 2017 and 2016 acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease in organic volumes in Houston. Aggregates pricing improved across most of our markets in the three months ended April 1, 2017 as compared to the prior year period.

Table of Contents

Revenue from ready-mix concrete in the West segment increased $9.7 million in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the first quarter of 2016 due to higher volumes offset by slightly lower pricing. The increase in ready-mix concrete volumes was primarily a result of the 2017 and 2016 acquisitions partially offset by a decrease in organic volumes.  

 

Revenue from asphalt in the West segment increased $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period a year ago, primarily due to higher volumes partially offset by slightly lower pricing. Organic asphalt volumes increased 71.0% due to improvement in our Austin, Texas market.  Asphalt pricing decreased consistent with lower input prices. Revenue for paving and related services in the West segment increased by $5.3 million in the three months ended April 1, 2017, primarily due to organic growth.

 

Prior to eliminations of intercompany transactions, the net effect of volume and pricing changes on gross revenue in the three months ended April 1, 2017 was approximately $19.9 million and $(1.9) million, respectively.

 

Our reporting unit based in Austin, Texas, where the economy has been expanding, has seen new market entrants, one of which aggressively sought market share, which negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA in the West segment in 2016. Our efforts to improve our profitability in that area are showing positive results in 2017. We will continue to monitor the effect of this activity to assess whether an event occurs that indicates the carrying amount of the Austin-based reporting unit may be impaired requiring a goodwill impairment analysis.

Revenue from aggregates increased $11.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to 2016 due primarily to the acquisition of Razorback in 2017, as well as the AMC, Boxley, Oldcastle Assets, and RD Johnson acquisitions in 2016. Aggregate volumes in the three months ended April 1, 2017 increased 27.9%, primarily as a result of those acquisitions. Aggregates pricing increased as a result of an improved market and shift in product mix.

 

Revenue from ready-mix concrete in the East region increased $3.5 million primarily as a result of the acquisitions mentioned above. Ready-mix volumes increased due to acquisitions, offset by an organic volumes decline of 2.9%.

 

Revenue from asphalt increased $0.6 million in the East segment due to an increase in asphalt volumes, offset by pricing decline. The $9.3 million increase in paving and related service revenue in the three months ended April 1, 2017 was primarily a result of acquisitions in Kansas and Virginia.

 

Prior to eliminations of intercompany transactions, the net effect of volume and pricing changes on gross revenue in the three months ended April 1, 2017 was approximately $13.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

The Cement segment’s net revenue increased 29.0%, primarily due to organic operations and the acquisition of the Angelle Assets contributing $6.4 million and $3.4 million in the three months ended April 1, 2017, respectively.

 

The Cement segment’s operating loss increased $1.0 million in the three months ended April 1, 2017, while Adjusted EBITDA improved $1.7 million. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to increased depreciation from the Angelle Assets acquisition. Operating margin percentage for the three months ended April 1, 2017 improved slightly from (12.5)% to (12.0)%, primarily attributable to pricing improvements and operational efficiencies. The operational efficiencies have been driven by a reduction in unscheduled downtime and improved cost management and production processes.

Organic cement volumes increased 17.6% quarter over quarter, with the balance attributable to the acquisition referred to above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash on-hand, cash provided by operations, amounts available for borrowing under our senior secured credit facilities and capital-raising activities in the debt and capital markets. As of April 1, 2017, we had $156.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $281.6 million of working capital compared to $143.4 million and $244.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016. Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities. There were no restricted cash balances as of April 1, 2017 or December 31, 2016. Our remaining borrowing capacity on our senior secured revolving credit facility was $215.4 million as of April 1, 2017, which is net of $19.6 million of outstanding letters of credit, and is fully available to us within the terms and covenant requirements of our credit agreement governing the senior secured credit facilities (the “Credit Agreement”).  

 

Given the seasonality of our business, we typically experience significant fluctuations in working capital needs and balances throughout the year. Our working capital requirements generally increase during the first half of the year as we build up inventory and focus on repair and maintenance and other set-up costs for the upcoming season. Working capital levels then decrease as the construction season winds down and we enter the winter months, which is when we see significant inflows of cash from the collection of receivables.

 

Our acquisition strategy has historically required us to raise capital through equity issuances or debt financings. As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our long-term borrowings, including the current portion without giving effect to original issue discount, totaled $1.5 billion, for which we incurred $21.6 million and $18.3 million of interest expense for the three months ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016, respectively. Although the amounts borrowed and related interest expense are material to us, we have been in compliance with our debt covenants and, when we have made additional issuances of senior notes to fund acquisitions, we have complied with the incurrence tests in the indentures governing our senior notes. In addition, our cash flows provided by operating activities were $244.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2016, which is net of interest payments. Our senior secured revolving credit facility has been adequate to fund our seasonal working capital needs and certain acquisitions. We had no outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility as of April 1, 2017.

 

We believe we have access to sufficient financial resources from our liquidity sources to fund our business and operations, including contractual obligations, capital expenditures and debt service obligations, for at least the next twelve months. Our growth strategy contemplates future acquisitions for which we believe we have sufficient access to capital.

 

We and our affiliates may from time to time purchase our outstanding debt through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Purchases or retirement of debt, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

 

Indebtedness

 

Please refer to the notes to the consolidated interim financial statements for detailed information about our long-term debt, scheduled maturities of long-term debt and affirmative and negative covenants, including the maximum allowable consolidated first lien net leverage ratio. As of April 1, 2017, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

At April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $1.5 billion of total debt, without giving effect to original issuance discount, were outstanding under our respective debt agreements. Summit LLC has senior secured credit facilities that provide for term loans in an aggregate amount of $650.0 million and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $235.0 million (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). Summit LLC’s domestic wholly-owned subsidiary companies are named as guarantors of the Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Certain other partially-owned subsidiaries, and the wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Mainland, do not guarantee the Senior Notes or Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Summit LLC has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

 

On January 19, 2017, Summit LLC entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Credit Agreement, which, among other things, reduced the applicable margin in respect of the $640.3 million outstanding principal amount of term loans thereunder and included a 1.00% prepayment premium in connection with certain further repricing events that occur on or prior to the six-month anniversary of the effective date of Amendment No. 1. All other material terms and provisions remain substantially identical to the terms and provisions in place immediately prior to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 1.

 

On March 8, 2016, the Issuers issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.500% senior notes due April 15, 2022. The 2022 notes were issued at par and interest on the 2022 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year commencing on October 15, 2016. The net proceeds of the 2022 Notes were used to fund the Boxley acquisition, replenish cash used for the AMC acquisition and pay expenses incurred therewith.

Operating activities

 

During the three months ended April 1, 2017, cash used in operating activities was $45.5 million primarily as a result of:

 

·

Net loss of $55.1 million, adjusted for $44.9 million of non-cash expenses, including $43.3 million of depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion and $4.7 million of share-based compensation.

 

·

Additional investment in inventory of $24.7 million consistent with the seasonality of our business for which our inventory levels typically increase in the first half of the year in preparation for the upcoming season.  

 

·

$6.4 million of accounts receivable collections (billed and unbilled) as a result of the seasonality of our business. The majority of our sales occur in the spring, summer and fall and we typically incur an increase in accounts receivable (net billed and unbilled) during the second and third quarters of each year. This amount is typically converted to cash in the fourth and first quarters.  

 

·

The timing of payments associated with accounts payable and accrued expenses added $16.5 million of cash, which is consistent with the seasonality of our business whereby we build-up inventory levels and incur repairs and maintenance costs to ready the business for increased sales volumes in the summer and fall. These costs are typically incurred in the first half of the year and paid by year-end. In addition, we made $26.7 million of interest payments in the three months ended April 1, 2017.

The timing of payments associated with accounts payable and accrued expenses withdrew $18.5 million of cash in conjunction with the build-up of inventory levels and incurrence of repairs and maintenance costs to ready the business for increased sales volumes in the summer and fall. Almost all of our products are consumed and services provided outdoors. In addition, we made $27.5 million of interest payments in the three months ended April 2, 2016.  

 

·

$20.3 million of accounts receivable collections (billed and unbilled) as a result of the seasonality of our business. The majority of our sales occur in the spring, summer and fall and we typically incur an increase in accounts receivable (net billed and unbilled) during the second and third quarters of each year. This amount is typically converted to cash in the fourth and first quarters.  

 

Investing activities

 

During the three months ended April 1, 2017, cash used for investing activities was $158.1 million, of which $112.3 million related to the three acquisitions completed in the period and $51.1 million was invested in capital expenditures, which was partially offset by $4.3 million of proceeds from asset sales.  

 

During the three months ended April 2, 2016, cash used for investing activities was $282.2 million, of which $249.1 million related to the acquisitions of AMC and Boxley and $39.1 million was invested in capital expenditures, which was partially offset by $6.0 million of proceeds from asset sales.

 

Financing activities

 

During the three months ended April 1, 2017, cash provided by financing activities was $216.2 million, which was primarily composed of $237.6 million of net proceeds from the January 2017 issuance of 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. We made $16.4 million of payments on acquisition related liabilities, and $1.3 million in payments for debt and capital issuance costs.

 

During the three months ended April 2, 2016, cash provided by financing activities was $229.6 million, which was primarily composed of $246.3 million of proceeds from the 2022 Notes, net of fees. Summit made $12.0 million of payments on acquisition related liabilities, and $5.0 million in debt issuance costs.

 

Cash paid for capital expenditures

 

We expended approximately $51.1 million in capital expenditures in the three months ended April 1, 2017 compared to $39.1 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016. The first quarter 2017 capital expenditures were primarily composed of rolling stock and plant upgrades.

 

We estimate that we will invest between $140.0 million and $160.0 million in capital expenditures in 2017, which we have funded or expect to fund through cash on hand, cash from operations, outside financing arrangements and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In 2017, we expect to invest in our cement operations, including approximately $13.0 million in plant and terminal projects. We also plan to invest $5.0 million for an aggregate plant upgrade in northeast Texas and $5.0 million for a new ready-mix concrete plant near Houston.

 

Commitments and contingencies

 

We are party to certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business activities. Accruals are recorded when the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. While the ultimate results of claims and

35


 

Table of Contents

litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects that the ultimate resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigation will not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity. We record legal fees as incurred.

 

Litigation and Claims—We are obligated under an indemnification agreement entered into with the sellers of Harper Contracting for the sellers’ ownership interests in a joint venture agreement. We have the rights to any benefits under the joint venture as well as the assumption of any obligations, but do not own equity interests in the joint venture. The joint venture has incurred significant losses on a highway project in Utah, which have resulted in requests for funding from the joint venture partners and ultimately from us. Through April 1, 2017, we have funded $8.8 million, $4.0 million in 2012 and $4.8 million in 2011. In 2012 and 2011, we recognized losses on the indemnification agreement of $8.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. As of April 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, an accrual of $4.3 million was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities as management’s best estimate of future funding obligations.

 

Environmental Remediation—Our operations are subject to and affected by federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, health and safety and other regulatory matters. These operations require environmental operating permits, which are subject to modification, renewal and revocation. We regularly monitor and review its operations, procedures and policies for compliance with these laws and regulations. Despite these compliance efforts, risk of environmental liability is inherent in the operation of our business, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses and there can be no assurance that environmental liabilities and noncompliance will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

Other—We are obligated under various firm purchase commitments for certain raw materials and services that are in the ordinary course of business. Management does not expect any significant changes in the market value of these goods and services during the commitment period that would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. The terms of the purchase commitments generally approximate one year.

 

Off-Balance sheet arrangements

As of April 1, 2017, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which narrows the definition of a business. This ASU provides a screen to determine whether a group of assets constitute a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated as acquisitions. If the screen is not met, this ASU (1) requires that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output and (2) removes the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. Although outputs are not required for a set to be a business, outputs generally are a key element of a business; therefore, the FASB has developed more stringent criteria for sets without outputs. The ASU is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which will result in lessees recognizing most leases on the balance sheet. Lessees are required to disclose more quantitative and qualitative information about their leases than current U.S. GAAP requires. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We are beginning to compile all operating and capital leases to assess the impact of adopting this standard. 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which prescribes a five-step model for revenue recognition that will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The ASU will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and provides that an entity recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update also requires additional

36


 

Table of Contents

disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB postponed the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year to the first quarter of 2018. In applying these ASUs, an entity is permitted to use either the full retrospective or cumulative effect transition approach. We plan to adopt these ASU’s using the cumulative effect transition approach. While we are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of these standards on our consolidated financial statements, we expect to identify similar performance obligations compared with the deliverables and separate units of account we have identified under existing accounting standards. As a result, we do not expect the adoption of these ASU’s to have a material impact on our consolidated statements of operations.

 

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

 

We evaluate our operating performance using metrics that we refer to as “Adjusted EBITDA,” "gross profit" and “gross margin” which are not defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, adjusted to exclude accretion, loss on debt financings, loss from discontinued operations and certain non-cash and non-operating items. We define gross profit as operating income before general and administrative expenses, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion and transaction costs and gross margin as gross profit as a percentage of net revenue.

 

We present Adjusted EBITDA, gross profit and gross margin for the convenience of investment professionals who use such metrics in their analyses. The investment community often uses these metrics to assess the operating performance of a company’s business and to provide a consistent comparison of performance from period to period. We use these metrics, among others, to assess the operating performance of our individual segments and the consolidated company.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized; therefore, it may not be possible to compare such financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

The reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is based on the financial results of Summit Inc. and its subsidiaries, which was $0.3 million less than Summit LLC and its subsidiaries in the three months ended April 2, 2016, due to interest expense associated with a deferred consideration obligation, which is an obligation of Summit Holdings and is thus excluded from Summit LLC’s consolidated interest expense.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions that are entered into in the normal course of business. Our operations are highly dependent upon the interest rate-sensitive construction industry as well as the general economic environment. These marketplaces could experience lower levels of economic activity in an environment of rising interest rates or escalating costs. For a discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, please refer to the Annual Report from which our exposure to market risk has not materially changed.
