Current report

The above acquisitions are collectively referred to as the Aggregates Acquisitions in the following discussion of our Results of Operations.

Current report

Our fiscal 2026 first quarter results were solid, and our markets remained resilient.

Current report

Energy costs increased slightly in the first quarter, but are expected to remain relatively stable over the near future. Freight costs for our Gypsum Wallboard segment increased during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and are expected to remain at this level for the rest of the calendar year. Freight costs for our Cement segment, which relies mostly on rail delivery, increased slightly in the first quarter, and are also expected to remain stable over the remainder of the calendar year. Additionally, labor constraints can adversely affect our Concrete and Aggregates businesses. If labor constraints were to worsen, it could cause delays and inefficiencies in these businesses.

Current report

Maintenance costs are a significant part of our total operating expenses, and we expect a low single digit increase in inflation for maintenance in fiscal 2026, as equipment and contractor costs remain high.

Current report

Revenue increased by $26.0 million, or 4%, to $634.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Excluding the $11.4 million related to the Aggregates Acquisitions, Revenue increased $14.6 million, or 2%. Higher Sales Volumes positively affected Revenue by $19.1 million, and were partially offset by lower gross sales prices, which adversely affected Revenue by approximately $4.5 million.

Current report

Equity in Earnings of our Unconsolidated Joint Venture decreased by $3.9 million, or 51%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was due to lower Sales Volume and average gross sales prices of $0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and increased operating costs of $3.2 million. Increased operating costs were primarily related to higher energy, freight, and fixed costs, which reduced operating earnings by $0.6 million, $0.9 million, and $2.0 million respectively.

Current report

Corporate General and Administrative expenses increased by approximately $5.2 million, or 33%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was due primarily to higher salary and incentive compensation, professional fees, and information technology costs of $2.2 million, $1.1 million, and $1.2 million, respectively.

Current report

Interest Expense, net increased by approximately $1.0 million, or 10%, during the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was mainly due to higher interest on our Revolving Credit Facility (as discussed below), which was related to higher average outstanding borrowings in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 compared with the prior-year period.

Current report

Net Earnings decreased 8% to $123.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

Cement Revenue was $347.6 million, a 2% increase, for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which increased Cement Revenue by $0.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively.

Current report

Cement Operating Earnings decreased by $8.0 million to $81.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was due to higher operating costs of $11.0 million, which were partially offset by higher Sales Volume and higher gross sales prices of $2.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The increase in operating costs was mainly due to higher freight, energy, labor and other fixed costs, and purchased raw materials costs of approximately $0.8 million, $0.4 million, $7.1 million, and $1.6 million, respectively. The Operating Margin decreased to 23% from 26% because of higher operating costs, partially offset by the increase in gross sales prices.

Current report

Operating Earnings were approximately $6.2 million, a 107% increase. Excluding the Aggregates Acquisitions, Operating Earnings increased $1.4 million, or 46%. The increase was due to higher gross sales prices and higher Aggregates Sales Volume, which positively affected Operating Earnings by $1.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Excluding the Aggregates Acquisitions, Sales Volume increased 29%, with most of the increase in our Northern Colorado and Northern Kentucky markets. The increase in Operating Earnings from higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume was partially offset by higher operating costs of $1.7 million. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to higher materials and maintenance expenses of approximately $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Removed paragraphs (39)

Previous report

Our end markets remained generally resilient despite adverse weather conditions, primarily in our Midwest and Great Plains markets, as well as the uncertainty around future monetary policy changes. The adverse weather resulted in lower Cement Sales Volume in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, while Gypsum Wallboard Sales Volume increased during the quarter.

Previous report

Energy costs decreased in all our businesses during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024; however, natural gas prices have recently increased and are expected to remain elevated during the winter months.

The increase in operating costs was primarily due to higher maintenance costs of approximately $4.5 million.

Previous report

Corporate General and Administrative expenses increased by approximately $6.6 million, or 47%, for the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily because of increases in information technology, compensation, and professional costs of $1.9 million, $1.7 million, and $1.3 million, respectively. The increase in professional costs includes costs associated with business development and transaction related activities.

Previous report

Interest Expense, net decreased by approximately $1.0 million, or 11%, during the three months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease resulted from lower interest on our Revolving Credit Facility, which was due to both lower interest rates and lower average balances outstanding during the period.

Previous report

Previous report

Interest Expense, net decreased by approximately $2.1 million, or 6%, during the nine months ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to approximately $1.6 million of lower interest on our Revolving Credit Facility, which was related to both lower interest rates and lower average outstanding borrowings, as well as increased interest income of $0.5 million on cash deposits.

Previous report

Earnings Before Income Taxes decreased to $510.5 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2024, primarily because of higher Corporate General and Administrative Expense and lower Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Joint Venture, partially offset by higher Gross Profit and lower Interest Expense, net.

Previous report

The decrease was due to lower Sales Volume and higher operating costs of $7.1 million and $17.3 million, respectively, partially offset by higher average sales prices of $5.6 million. Higher operating costs were primarily due to increased maintenance of $7.8 million, as well as $8.1 million related to increased fixed costs per unit, including labor, resulting from lower production during the quarter. The Operating Margin decreased to 33% from 39%, as a result of higher operating costs, partially offset by the higher gross sales prices.

Previous report

Cement Revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was $987.3 million, a 1% decrease from the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower Sales Volume, which reduced Cement Revenue by approximately $45.0 million, partially offset by higher gross sales prices of $33.9 million.

Previous report

Cement Operating Earnings decreased by $9.3 million to $291.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was due to lower Sales Volume and higher operating costs of $15.0 million and $28.2 million, respectively, which was partially offset by higher gross sales prices of $33.9 million. Higher operating costs consisted of $12.9 million of increased maintenance, $4.9 million of higher freight costs, $2.8 million increase in purchased raw materials, and $8.3 million related to increased fixed costs, including labor, resulting from lower production. These higher costs were partially offset by the impact of recording in the prior year $2.8 million of acquired inventories at fair value. Cement Operating Margin remained flat at 30%, as the higher operating costs were offset by higher gross sales prices.

Previous report

Concrete and Aggregates Revenue declined 1% to $60.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Excluding the Kentucky Acquisition, Revenue declined $3.6 million. The decline was due to lower Sales Volume, which reduced Revenue by $4.6 million, partially offset by higher gross sales prices of $1.0 million.

Previous report

The decrease in Operating Earnings was due to lower Sales Volume and higher operating costs of $1.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, partially offset by higher gross selling prices of $1.0 million. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to higher cost of materials, maintenance, and labor costs of approximately $0.2 million, $0.7 million, and $0.6 million, respectively.

Previous report

Operating Earnings were approximately $0.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024. Excluding the Kentucky Acquisition, Operating Earnings decreased to $1.2 million. The decline in Operating Earnings was due to lower Sales Volume and higher operating costs of $4.9 million and $16.0 million, respectively. This was partially offset by higher gross selling prices of $8.7 million.

Previous report

Operating Earnings increased 15% to $86.4 million, due to $4.3 million of higher gross sales prices, a $1.6 million increase in Sales Volume, and a $5.4 million decrease in operating costs. Lower operating costs were primarily related to freight, energy, and maintenance, which increased Operating Earnings by approximately $1.8 million, $1.4 million, and $1.2 million, respectively. Operating Margin increased to 41% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, primarily because of lower operating costs and higher gross sales prices. Fixed costs are not a significant portion of the overall cost of wallboard; therefore, changes in utilization have a relatively minor impact on our operating cost per unit.

Previous report

Gypsum Wallboard Revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was $642.3 million, a 2% increase from the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which positively affected Revenue by $5.1 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Our market share remained relatively consistent during the nine months ended December 31, 2024.

Previous report

Recycled Paperboard Revenue increased 19% to $161.2 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which positively affected Revenue by $15.5 million and $10.3 million, respectively. Higher gross sales prices were related to the pricing provisions in our long-term sales agreements.

Previous report

Operating Earnings increased 24% to $27.6 million, primarily because of higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which increased Operating Earnings by $15.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. This was partially offset by higher operating costs, which reduced Operating Earnings by approximately $11.9 million. The increase in operating costs was primarily related to higher input costs, namely recycled fiber, which lowered Operating Earnings by approximately $15.4 million. This was partially offset by lower energy, chemicals, and freight costs of $2.8 million, $0.5 million, and $0.5 million, respectively. The Operating Margin remained consistent at 16% as higher operating costs were offset by higher gross sales prices. Although the Company has certain provisions in its long-term sales agreements related to adjustments for the cost of raw materials, namely recycled fiber, natural gas, and electricity, prices are adjusted only at certain times throughout the year, so price adjustments are not always reflected in the same period as the change in costs.

Previous wording

The macroeconomic environment continues to be constructive for our products. We expect demand for cement to remain steady in the near term given federal, state and local support for public infrastructure projects and continued spending on heavy manufacturing and private-nonresidential construction. To date, only approximately 25% of federal funding from the trillion-dollar Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act(IIJA) has been spent. We anticipate a pick-up in demand as the remaining IIJA funds get spent on public construction and repair projects.

Current wording

The macroeconomic environment continues to be supportive for our products. We expect demand for cement to remain steady given bipartisan federal, state and local support for public infrastructure projects and continued spending across construction end markets. To date, the majority of funds from the trillion-dollar Infrastructure

Previous wording

In residential construction, activity has remained steady. While the higher interest rate environment has been a headwind for housing demand and affordability, several factors, including the chronic housing shortage caused by more than a decade of underproduction and exacerbated by the "rate lock-in", have supported housing construction activity. While the path ahead for US Federal Reserve monetary policy is less certain than a quarter ago, we believe that continued healthy consumer balance sheets should also support residential construction. We believe our geographic footprint across the U.S. heartland and fast-growing Sun Belt region positions us to capitalize on these market dynamics.

Current wording

In residential construction, activity remained steady during the first quarter. While continuing higher interest rates have been a headwind for housing demand and affordability, several factors, including the chronic housing shortage and the aging housing stock of existing homes in the US have supported new housing and repair and remodeling construction activity. We believe continued healthy consumer balance sheets should act as a buffer for residential construction in the near term; however, a full housing recovery is not expected until mortgage rates decline, and/or affordability headwinds recede. The path ahead for the U.S. Federal Reserve monetary policy and its effect on mortgage rates is unclear, and thus the timing of a full recovery in new-home construction remains uncertain. Nonetheless, we believe our geographic footprint across the U.S. heartland and fast-growing Sun Belt region positions us to capitalize on these market dynamics in the near and longer term.

Previous wording

The primary raw material used to produce paperboard is old corrugated cardboard (OCC). Recycled fiber prices are subject to change upon short notice due to several factors, including supply of OCC and demand for OCC from both domestic and international companies. Our current customer contracts for gypsum liner include price adjustments that partially compensate for changes in the cost of raw materials, such as recycled fiber, natural gas, and electricity. However, because these price adjustments are not realized until future quarters, material costs in our Gypsum Wallboard segment are likely to fluctuate until the effects of these price adjustments are realized.

Lower operating costs were primarily related to freight and energy, which increased Operating Earnings by approximately $5.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Operating Margin increased to 42% for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, primarily because of higher gross sales prices and lower operating expenses. Fixed costs are not a significant portion of the overall cost of wallboard; therefore, changes in utilization have a relatively minor impact on our operating cost per unit.

Current wording

Operating Earnings decreased 1% to $92.6 million, primarily because of lower gross sales prices of $4.1 million and higher operating costs of $0.6 million, partially offset by higher Sales Volume of $3.4 million. The higher operating costs were primarily related to freight and energy, which reduced Operating Earnings by approximately $1.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and were partially offset by lower input costs, namely fiber, of $1.9 million. Operating Margin decreased to 42% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily because of lower gross sales prices and higher operating costs. Fixed costs are not a significant portion of the overall cost of wallboard; therefore, changes in utilization have a relatively minor impact on our operating cost per unit.

Previous wording

Recycled Paperboard Revenue increased 19% to $56.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase was due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which increased Revenue by $6.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Higher gross sales prices were related to the pricing provisions in our long-term sales agreements.

Current wording

Recycled Paperboard Revenue decreased 6% to $51.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Lower gross sales prices and Sales Volume reduced Revenue by $2.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Lower gross sales prices were related to the pricing provisions in our long-term sales agreements.

Previous wording

Operating Earnings increased 47% to $11.0 million, primarily because of higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which increased Operating Earnings by $6.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. This was partially offset by higher operating costs, which reduced Operating Earnings by approximately $3.1 million. The increase in operating costs was primarily related to higher input costs, namely recycled fiber, which reduced Operating Earnings by approximately $2.9 million. The Operating Margin increased to 20% because of higher gross selling prices, partially offset by higher operating costs. Although the Company has certain provisions in its long-term sales agreements related to adjustments for the cost of raw materials, namely recycled fiber, natural gas, and electricity, prices are adjusted only at certain times throughout the year, so price adjustments are not always reflected in the same period as the change in costs.

Current wording

Operating Earnings increased 12% to $9.5 million, primarily because of lower operating costs, which increased Operating Earnings by $3.8 million. This was partially offset by lower gross sales prices, which reduced Operating Earnings by approximately $2.8 million. The decrease in operating costs was primarily related to lower input costs, namely fiber, of approximately $4.4 million, which were partially offset by higher energy costs of $0.4 million. Operating Margin increased to 19%, with the decrease in operating costs offsetting the lower gross sales prices. Although the Company has certain pricing provisions in its long-term sales agreements, prices are adjusted only at certain times throughout the year, so price adjustments are not always reflected in the same period as the change in costs.

Previous wording

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities decreased by $14.7 million to $485.8 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was attributable to lower cash flows from Net Earnings, adjusted for non-cash charges of $6.4 million, lower cash dividends from our Unconsolidated Joint Venture of $7.0 million, and lower cash flow from changes in working capital of $1.3 million.

Current wording

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities increased by $4.0 million to $136.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to higher cash flows from changes in Working Capital and noncash activity of $3.0 million and $11.4 million, respectively, partially offset by lower Operating Earnings of $10.4 million.

Previous wording

Working capital increased by $6.3 million to $394.6 million at December 31, 2024, compared with March 31, 2024. The increase was due to higher Inventories and Prepaid and Other Assets of $18.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, and lower Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities of $15.8 million. This was partially offset by lower Cash and Accounts Receivable, net, of $3.7 million and $20.6 million, respectively. The August 2024 Acquisition increased working capital by approximately $0.3 million at December 31, 2024.

Current wording

Working Capital increased by $40.3 million to $464.0 million at June 30, 2025, compared with March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher Cash, Accounts Receivable, net, and Prepaid and Other Assets of $39.3 million, $51.1 million, and $3.7 million, respectively. This was partially offset by $8.6 million of lower Income Tax Receivable, $21.8 million of lower Inventories, and $24.8 million of higher Income Tax Payable.

Previous wording

The decrease in Accounts Receivable at December 31, 2024, was primarily related to increased collections during the three months ended December 31, 2024, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024. As a percentage of quarterly sales generated for the respective quarter, Accounts Receivable was approximately 33% at December 31, 2024, and 43% at March 31, 2024. Management measures the change in Accounts Receivable by monitoring the days sales outstanding on a monthly basis to determine if any deterioration has occurred in the collectability of the Accounts Receivable. No significant deterioration in the collectability of our Accounts Receivable was identified at December 31, 2024.

Current wording

The increase in Accounts Receivable at June 30, 2025, was primarily related to higher Revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2025, particularly in the month of June, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2025. As a percentage of quarterly sales generated for the respective quarter, Accounts Receivable was approximately 42% and 45% at June 30, 2025, and March 31, 2025, respectively. Management measures the change in Accounts Receivable by monitoring the days sales outstanding on a monthly basis to determine if any deterioration has occurred in the collectability of the Accounts Receivable.

Previous wording

Our Inventory balance at December 31, 2024, increased by approximately $18.4 million from our balance at March 31, 2024. Excluding the Kentucky Acquisition, our Inventory balance increased by $18.0 million. Within Inventory, Raw Materials and Materials-in-Progress, Aggregates, Gypsum Wallboard, Repair Parts, and Fuel and Coal increased by approximately $17.8 million, $4.2 million, $1.5 million, $1.1 million, and $3.9 million, respectively. This was partially offset by Finished Cement and Recycled Paperboard, which declined $5.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The decline in Finished Cement is consistent with our business cycle; we generally build up clinker inventory over the winter months to meet the demand for cement in the spring and summer. The largest individual balance in our Inventory is our Repair Parts. The size and complexity of our manufacturing plants, as well as the age of certain of our plants, makes it necessary to stock a high level of repair parts inventory. We believe all of these repair parts are necessary, and we perform semi-annual analyses to identify obsolete parts. We have less than one year’s sales of all product inventories, and our inventories have a low risk of obsolescence because our products are basic construction materials.

Current wording

Our Inventory balance at June 30, 2025, decreased by approximately $21.8 million from our balance at March 31, 2025. Within Inventory, Raw Materials and Materials-in-Progress, Finished Cement, Aggregates, and Repair Parts and Supplies declined $13.4 million, $4.5 million, $1.3 million, and $1.8 million, respectively. The decline in Raw Materials and Materials-in-Progress is consistent with our business cycle; we generally build up clinker inventory over the winter months to meet the demand for cement in the spring and summer. The decrease in Repair Parts inventory was primarily due to the completion of most of our scheduled outages during the quarter. The largest individual balance in our Inventory is Repair Parts. These parts are necessary given the size and complexity of our manufacturing plants, and the age of certain of our plants, which creates the need to stock a high level of Repair Parts inventory. We believe all of these repair parts are necessary, and we perform semi-annual analyses to identify obsolete parts. We have less than one year’s sales of all product inventories, and our inventories have a low risk of obsolescence because our products are basic construction materials.

We believe that our cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, as well as cash on hand, should be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated operating needs, capital expenditures, and dividend and debt service requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, our future liquidity and capital requirements may vary depending on a number of factors, including market conditions in the construction industry, our ability to maintain compliance with covenants in our Revolving Credit Facility, the level of competition, and general and economic factors beyond our control, such as supply chain constraints and inflation. These and other developments could reduce our cash flow or require that we seek additional sources of funding. We cannot predict what effect these factors will have on our future liquidity. See Market Conditions and Outlook section above for further discussion of the possible effects on our business.
