Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the Company or Martin Marietta) is a natural resource-based building materials company. As of March 31, 2024, the Company supplies aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel) through its network of approximately 360 quarries, mines and distribution yards in 28 states, Canada and The Bahamas. Martin Marietta also provides cement and downstream products and services, namely, ready mixed concrete, asphalt and paving, in vertically-integrated structured markets where the Company also 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 and ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving product lines are reported collectively as the “Building Materials” business.

The Company’s Building Materials business includes two reportable segments: the East Group and the West Group.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The Company has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for other interim periods or the full year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These

FORM 10-Q

For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2024

(UNAUDITED) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)

 

consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

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 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.

Restricted Cash

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had restricted cash of $2 million and $10 million, respectively. The 2024 amount is designated to collateralize certain letters of credit, while the 2023 amount was invested in an account designated for the purchase of like-kind exchange replacement assets under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and related IRS procedures (Section 1031). The Company was restricted from utilizing the 2023 cash for purposes other than the purchase of qualified assets for 180 days from receipt of the proceeds from the sale of the exchanged property. Any unused restricted cash at the end of the 180 days is transferred to unrestricted accounts of the Company and used for general corporate purposes.

The statements of cash flows reflect cash flow changes and balances for cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on an aggregated basis. The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported on the consolidated balance sheets to the aggregated amounts presented on the consolidated statements of cash flows:

Earnings per Common Share

The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share is net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta. 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 is 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, 2024 and 2023, the diluted per-share computations reflect the number of common shares outstanding including the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

The following table reconciles the denominator for basic and diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share:

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU requires companies to apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The ASU will impact the Company's disclosures, but will have no impacts to its results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires public entities to disclose, on annual basis, a tabular tax rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts with specific categories, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. Additionally, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, local, and foreign taxes and by individual jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. The ASU also requires additional qualitative disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The ASU will impact the Company's income tax disclosures, but not its results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the Company's financial statements of the prior year to conform to the current-year presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s previously reported results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Business Combinations, Divestitures, Discontinued Operations and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

Business Combinations

On January 12, 2024, the Company acquired Albert Frei & Sons, Inc. (AFS), a leading aggregates producer in Colorado. This acquisition provides more than 60 years (at 2023 production levels) of high-quality, hard rock reserves to better serve new and existing customers and enhances the Company's aggregates platform in the high-growth Denver metropolitan area. The Company has recorded preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are subject to additional reviews, such as asset verification, that are not yet complete. Thus, these amounts are subject to change during the measurement period, which remains open as of March 31, 2024. The goodwill generated by the transaction is not deductible for income tax purposes. The acquisition is reported in the Company's West Group but is immaterial for pro-forma financial statement disclosures.

On February 11, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 20 active aggregates operations in Alabama, South Carolina, South Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia from affiliates of Blue Water Industries LLC (BWI Southeast) for $2.05 billion of cash on hand. The BWI Southeast acquisition complements Martin Marietta’s existing geographic footprint in the dynamic southeast region by allowing the Company to expand into new growth platforms in target markets including Nashville and Miami. The transaction closed on April 5, 2024 and the Company is in the process of determining the acquisition-date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Divestitures

On February 9, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its South Texas cement business and certain of its related ready mixed concrete operations to CRH Americas Materials, Inc., a subsidiary of CRH plc, for $2.10 billion in cash. Specifically, the divested facilities included the Hunter cement plant in New Braunfels, Texas, related cement distribution terminals and 20 ready mixed concrete plants that served the Austin and San Antonio region, all of which were classified as assets held for sale as of December 31, 2023. The divestiture provided additional balance sheet flexibility to redeploy net proceeds into pure-play aggregates acquisitions. The transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $1.3 billion, which is included in Other operating (income) expense, net, on the Company's consolidated statement of earnings and comprehensive earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and is exclusive of expenses incurred due to the divestiture. The divested operations and the gain on divestiture are reported in the West Group.

Discontinued Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, discontinued operations included the Company's Tehachapi, California cement plant, which was divested in October 2023, and the Stockton, California cement import terminal, which was divested in May 2023. There were no discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Company has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., PNC Bank, Truist Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agents, and the lenders party thereto (the Credit Agreement), which provides for an $800 million five-year senior unsecured revolving facility (the Revolving Facility) with a maturity date of December 21, 2028. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at rates based upon the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or a base rate, plus, for each rate, a margin determined in accordance with a ratings-based pricing grid. Any outstanding principal amounts, together with interest accrued thereon, are due in full on that maturity date. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Available borrowings under the Revolving Facility are reduced by any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company under the Revolving Facility. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $3 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company’s ratio of consolidated net debt-to-consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion 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 any debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions during the quarter or three preceding

quarters so long as the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 4.00x. Additionally, if no amounts are outstanding under the Revolving Facility or the Company's trade receivable securitization facility (discussed below), consolidated debt, as defined, which includes debt for which the Company is a guarantor, shall be reduced in an amount equal to the lesser of $500 million or the sum of the Company’s unrestricted cash and temporary investments, for purposes of the covenant calculation. The Company was in compliance with the Ratio at March 31, 2024.

The Company, through a wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary, has a $400 million trade receivable securitization facility (the Trade Receivable Facility) that matures on September 19, 2024. The Trade Receivable Facility, with Truist Bank, Regions Bank, First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, and certain other lenders that may become a party to the facility from time to time, is backed by eligible trade receivables, as defined. Borrowings are limited to the lesser of the facility limit or the borrowing base, as defined. These receivables are originated by the Company and then sold or contributed to the wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary. 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 Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Adjusted Term SOFR), as defined, plus 0.7%. The Trade Receivable Facility contains a cross-default provision to the Company’s other debt agreements. Subject to certain conditions, including lenders providing the requisite commitments, the Trade Receivable Facility may be increased to a borrowing base not to exceed $500 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Trade Receivable Facility at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

6.
Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include temporary cash investments, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, publicly-registered long-term notes and debentures.

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

Restricted cash is held in a trust account with a third-party intermediary. Due to the short-term nature of this account, the carrying value of restricted cash approximates its fair value.

Accounts receivable are due from a large number of customers, primarily in the construction industry, and are dispersed across wide geographic and economic regions. However, accounts receivable are more heavily concentrated in certain states, namely Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Georgia, Minnesota, Arizona, Iowa, Florida and Indiana. The carrying values of accounts receivable approximate their fair values.

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

The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt were $4.3 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2024 and $4.3 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2023. The estimated fair value of the Company’s publicly-registered long-term debt was estimated based on Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy using quoted market prices.

7.
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 primarily from the permanent tax benefits associated with the statutory depletion deduction for mineral reserves. The effective income tax rates for continuing operations were 26.0% and 20.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The higher 2024 effective income tax rate versus 2023 was driven by the impact of the divestiture of the South Texas cement business and certain related ready mixed concrete operations, which reflected the write off of certain nondeductible goodwill and was treated as a discrete tax event to the quarter.

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 environmental protection. 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, the jurisdiction and venue of the case 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's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, as a whole, based on currently available facts.

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, 2024, the Company was contingently liable for $34 million in letters of credit.

10.
Segments

The Building Materials business contains two reportable segments: the East Group and the West Group. The Company also has a Magnesia Specialties reportable segment. The Chief Operating Decision Maker's evaluation of performance and allocation of resources are based primarily on earnings from operations. Segment earnings from operations include total revenues less cost of revenues; selling, general and administrative expenses; other operating income and expenses, net; and exclude interest income and expense; other nonoperating income and expenses, net; and income tax expense. Corporate loss from operations primarily includes depreciation; expenses for corporate administrative functions; acquisition, divestiture and integration expenses; and other nonrecurring income and expenses not attributable to operations of the Company's operating segments.

Assets employed by segment include assets directly identified with those operations. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash; restricted investments; property, plant and equipment for corporate operations; and other assets not directly identifiable with a reportable segment.

The following table displays selected financial data for the Company’s reportable segments. Total revenues, as presented on the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings, reflect the elimination of intersegment revenues, which represent sales from one segment to another segment. Total revenues and earnings (loss) from operations reflect continuing operations only.

Revenues and Gross Profit

The following tables, which are reconciled to consolidated amounts, provide total revenues and gross profit (loss) by line of business: Building Materials (further divided by product line) and Magnesia Specialties. Interproduct revenues represent sales from the aggregates product line to the ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving product lines. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company combined the cement and ready mixed concrete product lines. This change was driven by the reduced significance of each of these product lines relative to the Building Materials business and consolidated operating results from recent divestitures. Additionally, there is a significant relationship between these product lines, as the ready mixed concrete product line is a significant customer of the cement product line. Total revenues and gross profit (loss) reflect continuing operations only.

The above information for 2023 has been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the cement product line reported total revenues of $169 million, inclusive of $49 million to the ready mixed concrete product line, and gross profit of $47 million. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the ready mixed concrete product line reported total revenues of $220 million and gross profit of $11 million. Revenues from sales of cement to the ready mixed concrete product line were previously eliminated in the interproduct revenues line.

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 two years. Customer payments for the paving operations are based on a contractual billing schedule and are typically paid-when-paid.

Future revenues from unsatisfied performance obligations at March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $246 million and $241 million, respectively, where the remaining periods to complete these obligations ranged from one month to 21 months and one month to 30 months, respectively.

Service Revenues. Service revenues, which include paving services located in California and Colorado, were $26 million for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and are reported in the West Group.

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.

Other Operating Income (Expense), Net

Other operating income (expense), net, is comprised generally of gains and losses on divestitures and the sale of assets; asset and portfolio rationalization charges; recoveries and losses related to certain customer accounts receivable; rental, royalty and services income; and accretion expense, depreciation expense and gains and losses related to asset retirement obligations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other operating (income) expense, net, included a $1.3 billion pretax gain on the divestiture of the South Texas cement business and certain of its related ready mixed concrete operations, which was partially offset by a $49 million pretax, noncash asset and portfolio rationalization charge.

The noncash asset and portfolio rationalization charge for the three months ended March 31, 2024 relates to the Company's decision to cease using a railroad to transport aggregates products into Colorado. In connection with the AFS acquisition completed in January 2024, the Company has more local supply available from its operations and has discontinued using the railroad. This charge, which is reported in the West Group, reflects the Company's evaluation of the recoverability of certain long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, for the cessation of these railroad operations.

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. As of March 31, 2024, the Company supplies aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel) through its network of approximately 360 quarries, mines and distribution yards in 28 states, Canada and The Bahamas. Martin Marietta also provides cement and downstream products, namely, ready mixed concrete, asphalt and paving services, in certain 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 and ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving product lines are reported collectively as the “Building Materials” business.

The Company’s Building Materials business includes two reportable segments: the East Group and the West Group.

The Building Materials business is significantly affected by weather patterns, seasonal changes and other climate-related conditions. Production and shipment levels for aggregates, cement, ready mixed concrete and asphalt 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, midwestern and mountain west regions of the United States generally experience more severe winter weather conditions than operations in the Southeast, Southwest and West. Excessive rainfall, drought, wildfire and extreme hot and cold temperatures can also jeopardize production, shipments and profitability in all markets served by the Company. Due to the potentially significant impact of weather on the Company’s operations, current-period results are not necessarily indicative of expected performance for other interim periods or the full year.

The Company has a Magnesia Specialties business with manufacturing facilities in Manistee, Michigan, and Woodville, Ohio. The Magnesia Specialties business produces magnesia-based chemicals products used in industrial, agricultural and environmental applications and dolomitic lime sold primarily to customers in the steel and mining industries.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company outlined its critical accounting policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings from continuing operations before interest; income taxes; depreciation, depletion and amortization; earnings/loss from nonconsolidated equity affiliates; acquisition, divestiture and integration expenses; the impact of selling acquired inventory after its markup to fair value as part of acquisition accounting (the Inventory Markup) nonrecurring gain on divestiture; and noncash asset and portfolio rationalization charge, or Adjusted EBITDA, is an indicator used by the Company and investors to evaluate the Company’s operating performance from period to period. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company has elected to add back, for purposes of its Adjusted EBITDA calculation, acquisition, divestiture and integration expenses and the Inventory Markup only for transactions with consideration of $2.0 billion or more and expected acquisition, divestiture and integration expenses of at least $15 million.

Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and, as such, should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta, earnings from operations or operating cash flow. Since 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.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Martin Marietta to Adjusted EBITDA:

Mix-adjusted average selling price (mix-adjusted ASP) is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impacts of period-over-period product, geographic and other mix on average selling price. Mix-adjusted ASP is calculated by comparing current-period shipments to like-for-like shipments in the comparable prior period. Management uses this metric to evaluate the realization of pricing increases and believes this information is useful to investors as it provides same-on-same pricing trends.

The following reconciles reported average selling price to organic mix-adjusted ASP and corresponding variances:

First-quarter aggregates shipments decreased 12.3% from prior-year first-quarter shipments, due largely to a more weather-impacted start to the year in the Company's East and Southwest Divisions coupled with softening demand in warehouse, office and retail construction, partially offset by more favorable weather and relative strength in the Company's Central and West Divisions. Aggregates average selling price of $22.26 increased 12.2%, or 12.7% on an organic mix-adjusted basis, over the prior-year quarter, due to strong realization of January 1, 2024 pricing actions. Aggregates gross profit improved modestly to $239 million, as pricing growth more than offset lower shipments.

Cement and ready mixed concrete revenues decreased 22% to $265 million and gross profit decreased 47% to $31 million, compared with the prior-year quarter, primarily attributable to the February 9th, 2024, divestiture of the South Texas cement plant and related concrete operations, as well as extremely wet weather in Texas.

Asphalt and paving revenues increased modestly to $59 million. Consistent with the Company's historical first-quarter trends, the asphalt and paving business posted a gross loss of $22 million due to seasonal winter operational shutdowns in Minnesota and unfavorable weather conditions in Colorado.

Aggregates End-Use Markets

While aggregates shipments to the infrastructure market decreased 6%, the value of state and local government highway, bridge and tunnel contract awards, a leading indicator for future product demand, is meaningfully higher year-over-year. The infrastructure market accounted for 34% of first-quarter aggregates shipments.

Aggregates shipments to the nonresidential market decreased 16%, driven by inclement weather in many of the Company's markets. The nonresidential market represented 36% of first-quarter aggregates shipments.

Aggregates shipments to the residential market decreased 17%, resulting from the anticipated softening in single-family housing in the Company's geographies resulting from affordability concerns. The residential market accounted for 24% of first-quarter aggregates shipments.

The ChemRock/Rail market accounted for the remaining 6% of first-quarter aggregates shipments. Volumes to this end use were flat quarter-over-quarter.

Magnesia Specialties Business

Magnesia Specialties first-quarter total revenues of $81 million decreased 3%, due to continued headwinds in metal mining end markets. However, gross profit increased 15% to $29 million, as higher pricing combined with lower energy costs more than offset shipment declines.

Consolidated Operating Results

Consolidated SG&A for the first quarter of 2024 was 9.5% of total revenues compared with 7.7% in the prior-year quarter due to increases in personnel costs, coupled with lower revenues.

For the first quarter, consolidated other operating (income) expense, net, was income of $1.3 billion in 2024 and expense of $2 million in 2023. The 2024 amount included a $1.3 billion pretax gain on the February 2024 divestiture of the South Texas cement business and certain of its related ready mixed concrete operations (the Divestiture), which was partially offset by a $49 million pretax, noncash asset and portfolio rationalization charge (the Rationalization Charge; see Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements).

For the first quarter, other nonoperating income, net, was $33 million and $17 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, with the increase resulting from higher interest income.

Earnings from operations for the quarter were $1.4 billion in 2024 compared with $196 million in 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the effective income tax rates for continuing operations were 26.0% and 20.9%, respectively. The higher 2024 effective income tax rate versus 2023 was driven by the Divestiture, which reflected the write-off of certain nondeductible goodwill and was treated as a discrete tax event to the quarter.

Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Martin Marietta were $1.0 billion, or $16.87 per diluted share, in 2024 compared with $134 million, or $2.16 per diluted share, in 2023. 2024 included an after-tax gain of $976 million, or $15.75 per diluted share, on the Divestiture and an after-tax loss of $37 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, for the Rationalization Charge. Earnings per diluted share for 2024 also included acquisition, divestiture and integration expenses of $0.22 per diluted share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $172 million and $161 million, respectively. Operating cash flow is substantially derived from consolidated net earnings before deducting depreciation, depletion and amortization, and changes in working capital requirements.

The seasonal nature of construction activity impacts the Company’s interim operating cash flow when compared with the full year. Full-year 2023 net cash provided by operating activities was $1.5 billion.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid $200 million and $174 million, respectively, for additions to property, plant and equipment.

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. During the first three months of 2024, the Company repurchased 255,601 shares of common stock at an average price of $586.85 and an aggregate cost of $150 million. At March 31, 2024, 12.5 million shares of common stock remain under the Company’s repurchase authorization.

The Company, through a wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary, has a $400 million trade receivable securitization facility (the Trade Receivable Facility) that matures on September 19, 2024. The Trade Receivable Facility contains a cross-default provision to the Company’s other debt agreements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

 

The Company has an $800 million five-year senior unsecured revolving facility (the Revolving Facility), which matures in December 2028. The Revolving Facility requires the Company’s ratio of consolidated net debt-to-consolidated EBITDA, as defined, for the trailing-twelve-month period (the Ratio) to not exceed 3.50 times 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 4.00 times. Additionally, if there are no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility or the Trade Receivable Facility, consolidated debt, including debt for which the Company is a guarantor, shall be reduced in an amount equal to the lesser of $500 million or the sum of the Company’s unrestricted cash and temporary investments, for purposes of the covenant calculation. The Company was in compliance with the Ratio at March 31, 2024.

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. There were no amounts outstanding under the Trade Receivable Facility or the Revolving Facility at March 31, 2024.

The Company used $2.05 billion of the cash on hand at March 31, 2024 to fund the acquisition of 20 active aggregates operations in Alabama, South Carolina, South Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia from affiliates of Blue Water Industries LLC on April 5th, 2024. The remaining 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 for payment of dividends for the foreseeable future and allow the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock. At March 31, 2024, the Company had $1.20 billion of unused borrowing capacity under its Revolving Facility and Trade Receivable Facility, subject to complying with the related leverage covenant. Historically, the Company has successfully extended the maturity dates of these credit facilities.

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, 2023. Management continues to evaluate its exposure to all operating risks on an ongoing basis.

OTHER MATTERS

If you are interested in Martin Marietta stock, management recommends that, at a minimum, you read the Company’s current annual report and Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the past year.

The Company’s outlook is subject to risks and uncertainties and is based on assumptions that the Company believes in good faith are reasonable but which may be materially different from actual results. Factors that the Company currently believes could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to:

the ability of the Company to face challenges, including shipment declines resulting from economic and weather events beyond the Company's control;
a widespread decline in aggregates pricing, including a decline in aggregates shipment volume negatively affecting aggregates price;
the history of both cement and ready mixed concrete being subject to significant changes in supply, demand and price fluctuations;
the termination, capping and/or reduction or suspension of the federal and/or state fuel tax(es) or other revenue related to public construction;
the level and timing of federal, state or local transportation or infrastructure or public projects funding, most particularly in Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Georgia, Minnesota, Arizona, Iowa, Florida and Indiana;
the United States Congress’ inability to reach agreement among themselves or with the Executive Branch on policy issues that impact the federal budget;
the ability of states and/or other entities to finance approved projects either with tax revenues or alternative financing structures;
levels of construction spending in the markets the Company serves;
a reduction in defense spending and the subsequent impact on construction activity on or near military bases;
a decline in energy-related construction activity resulting from a sustained period of low global oil prices or changes in oil production patterns or capital spending, particularly in Texas and West Virginia;
sustained high residential mortgage interest rates and other factors that have resulted in a slowdown in residential construction in some geographies;
unfavorable weather conditions, particularly Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico storm and hurricane activity, wildfires, the late start to spring or the early onset of winter and the impact of a drought or excessive rainfall in the markets served by the Company, any of which can significantly affect production schedules, volumes, product and/or geographic mix and profitability;
the volatility of fuel costs and energy, particularly diesel fuel, electricity, natural gas and the impact on the cost, or the availability generally, of other consumables, namely steel, explosives, tires and conveyor belts, and with respect to the Company’s Magnesia Specialties business, natural gas;
continued increases in the cost of other repair and supply parts;
construction labor shortages and/or supply chain challenges;
unexpected equipment failures, unscheduled maintenance, industrial accident or other prolonged and/or significant disruption to production facilities;
the resiliency and potential declines of the Company's various construction end-use markets;
the potential negative impacts of new waves of COVID-19 or its variants, or any other outbreak of diseases, epidemic or pandemic, or similar public health threat, or fear of such event and its related economic or societal

For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2024

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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

Management has considered the current economic environment and its potential impact to the Company's business. Demand for aggregates products, particularly in the infrastructure construction market, is affected by federal, state and local budget and deficit issues. Further, delays or cancellations of capital projects in the nonresidential and residential construction markets could occur if companies and consumers are unable to obtain affordable financing for construction projects or if consumer confidence is eroded by economic uncertainty.

Demand in the nonresidential and residential construction markets, which combined accounted for 60% of aggregates shipments for the three months ended March 31, 2024, is affected by interest rates. While unchanged since December 31, 2023, the target federal funds rate remains above historical levels.

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

Variable-Rate Borrowing Facilities. At March 31, 2024, the Company had an $800 million Revolving Facility and a $400 million Trade Receivable Facility. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at a variable interest rate. There were no borrowings outstanding on either facility at March 31, 2024. However, any future borrowings under the credit facilities or outstanding variable-rate debt are exposed to interest rate risk.

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, 2023.

Income Tax. Any changes in enacted tax laws, rules or regulatory or judicial interpretations, or any change in the pronouncements relating to accounting for income taxes could materially impact the Company’s effective tax rate, tax payments, financial condition and results of operations.

Energy Costs. Energy costs, including diesel fuel, natural gas, electricity, coal, petroleum coke and liquid asphalt, represent significant production costs of the Company. The Company may be unable to pass along increases in the costs of energy to customers in the form of price increases for the Company’s products. The cement product line and Magnesia Specialties business each have varying fixed-price agreements for a portion of their 2024 energy requirements. Organic energy expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased 18% compared with the prior-year period, reflecting a $0.40-per-gallon decrease in organic diesel costs. A hypothetical 10% change in the Company’s organic energy prices in 2024 as compared with 2023, assuming comparable volumes, would change 2024 energy expense by $36 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of March 31, 2024, 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, 2024. 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.
