Current report

Our business continued to perform well during our fiscal 2027 second quarter despite a challenging operating environment characterized by elevated diesel fuel prices and higher interest rates, driven by ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. Against this backdrop, we generated record Revenue of $652.7 million, Net Earnings of $111.5 million, and Diluted Earnings per share of $3.63. Year-over-year sales volume increased in our Heavy Materials Sector, with the exception of Aggregates, and also increased in our Light Materials Sector.

Current report

Cost of Goods Sold increased by $38.8 million, or 9%, to $478.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The increase was due to higher operating costs of $27.2 million and higher Sales Volume of $11.6 million. These costs are discussed further in the segment analysis.

Current report

Equity in Earnings of our Unconsolidated Joint Venture increased by $0.3 million, or 4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The increase was due to lower operating costs of $0.2 million and higher Sales Volume of $0.1 million. Decreased operating costs were primarily related to lower Selling, General, and Administrative costs of $1.5 million, partially offset by higher freight, raw materials, and fixed costs, which increased Operating Earnings by $0.7 million, $0.4 million, and $0.3 million respectively.

Current report

Corporate General and Administrative expenses increased by approximately $5.6 million, or 26%, for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The increase was due primarily to increased health insurance costs and information technology costs of $2.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Current report

Net Earnings decreased 19% to $111.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026.

Current report

Cement Operating Earnings decreased by $11.0 million to $108.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The decrease was due to higher operating costs of $15.0 million, partially offset by higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume of $3.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The increase in operating costs was mainly due to higher freight, purchased raw materials, and labor and other fixed costs of approximately $4.9 million, $5.6 million, and $3.8 million, respectively. The Operating Margin decreased to 28% from 31% because of higher operating costs, partially offset by the increase in gross sales prices.

Current report

Cement Revenue was $768.4 million, a 5% increase, for the six months ended September 30, 2026. This increase was due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which increased Cement Revenue by $7.9 million and $28.0 million, respectively.

Current report

Operating Earnings were approximately $4.2 million, a 47% decrease. The decrease was due to higher operating costs of $7.8 million and lower Sales Volume of $0.3 million, partially offset by higher gross sales prices of $4.4 million. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to higher materials, delivery, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, and maintenance expenses of approximately $1.9 million, $2.7 million, $0.8 million, and $1.5 million, respectively.

Current report

Concrete and Aggregates Revenue increased 5% to $172.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026. The increase was due to higher Concrete and Aggregates gross sales prices of $4.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and higher Concrete Sales Volume of $1.8 million, and was partially offset by lower Aggregates Sales Volume of $1.5 million.

Current report

Operating Earnings were approximately $8.2 million, a 42% decrease. The decrease was due to higher operating costs of $13.3 million and lower Sales Volume of $0.2 million, which were partially offset by higher gross sales prices of $7.7 million. The higher operating costs were primarily due to higher materials, delivery, depreciation, depletion, and amortization, and maintenance expenses of approximately $1.9 million, $4.1 million, $1.7 million, and $3.1 million, respectively.

Current report

Operating Earnings decreased 15% to $57.4 million, primarily because of lower gross sales prices of $11.4 million and higher operating costs of $3.5 million, partially offset by higher Sales Volume of $5.0 million. The higher operating costs were primarily related to freight of $5.1 million, partially offset by lower depreciation, depletion, and amortization of $1.1 million. Operating Margin decreased to 31% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, primarily because of lower gross sales prices.

Current report

Gypsum Wallboard Revenue was $390.4 million, a 4% decrease for the six months ended September 30, 2026. Lower gross sales prices negatively affected Revenue by approximately $24.8 million, partially offset by higher Sales Volume of $10.2 million. Our market share remained relatively consistent during the six months ended September 30, 2026.

Current report

Operating Earnings decreased 18% to $130.8 million, primarily because of lower gross sales prices of $24.8 million and higher operating costs of $8.0 million, partially offset by higher Sales Volume of $3.6 million.

Operating Margin decreased to 33% for the six months ended September 30, 2026, primarily because of lower gross sales prices.

Current report

Recycled Paperboard Revenue increased 9% to $109.1 million during the six months ended September 30, 2026. Higher Sales Volume and gross sales prices increased revenue by $4.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Higher gross sales prices were related to the pricing provision changes in our long-term sales agreements.

Current report

Operating Earnings increased 17% to $24.0 million, primarily because of higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which increased Operating Earnings by $5.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The increase was partially offset by higher operating costs, which reduced Operating Earnings by approximately $2.6 million. The increase in operating costs was primarily related to higher fiber, fiber freight, and fixed costs of approximately $2.2 million, $2.4 million, and $0.8 million, respectively, which was partially offset by lower depreciation of $2.7 million. Operating Margin increased to 22% in the six months ended September 30, 2026, from 21% in the six months ended September 30, 2025, primarily because of the increase in 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 report

Our fiscal 2027 first quarter results were generally strong, with record Revenue of $651.0 million, Net Earnings of $102.1 million, and Diluted Earnings per Share of $3.29 per share. Our end markets remained resilient despite geopolitical, fiscal, and trade-policy disruptions and widespread uncertainty around future U.S. economic conditions. Year-over-year sales volume increased in our Heavy Materials Sector and declined in our Light Materials Sector.

Previous report

While cement maintenance costs were up 10% in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, this was largely driven by specific projects at some of our Cement plants. Other than these discreet projects, we expect low single digit inflation for maintenance costs as equipment and contractor costs are expected to increase.

Previous report

Cost of Goods Sold increased by $40.6 million, or 9%, to $489.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was due to higher operating costs and Sales Volume of $25.7 million and $14.9 million, respectively. The $25.7 million of higher operating costs were primarily attributable to $16.8 million of higher costs in our Cement segment, $4.5 million of higher costs in Gypsum Wallboard, and $5.5 million of higher Concrete and Aggregates costs, all of which were partially offset by $1.1 million of lower operating costs in our Paperboard business.

Previous report

The $17.6 million of higher Sales Volume was primarily related to $15.9 million of higher Sales Volume in our Cement business and $1.9 million higher Paperboard Sales Volume. These costs were partially offset by lower Sales Volume of $2.0 million in our Gypsum Wallboard business and $0.9 million in our Concrete and Aggregates business. These costs are discussed further in the segment analysis.

Previous report

Net Earnings decreased 17% to $102.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Previous report

Operating Earnings were approximately $4.0 million, a 35% decrease. The decrease was due to higher operating costs of $5.5 million and were partially offset by higher gross sales prices of $3.3 million and higher net Sales Volume of $0.1 million. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to higher freight, maintenance, energy, and labor and other fixed costs of approximately $1.4 million, $1.6 million, $0.9 million, and $ 0.9 million, respectively.

Previous report

Operating Earnings decreased 21% to $73.4 million, primarily because of lower gross sales prices of $13.4 million, lower Sales Volume of $1.4 million, and higher operating costs of $4.5 million. The higher operating costs were primarily related to higher freight costs of $4.1 million. Operating Margin decreased to 36% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, 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

We expect demand for cement to remain steady in the near term supported by bipartisan federal, state, and local support for public infrastructure projects and continued spending on certain elements of private-nonresidential construction, including data centers. A significant amount of federal funding from the trillion-dollar Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) remains to be spent, and state Department of Transportation (DOT) budgets remain supportive.

Previous wording

The backdrop for residential construction activity remained challenging in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily because of housing affordability concerns driven by persistently elevated mortgage interest rates, as well as other macroeconomic uncertainties. At the same time, the national supply of homes remains constrained by years of underbuilding. Recently, new home construction has slowed as builders have pulled back on production because of mixed demand signals and higher levels of new home inventory in certain markets. This recent pullback affected our wallboard sales volume, which was down approximately 2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. The path ahead for mortgage rates, and the corresponding effect on residential construction activity, is unclear, and thus the timing of a 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

Recycled fiber and finished paper are significant cost components in our Recycled Paperboard and Gypsum Wallboard businesses, respectively. The primary raw material used to produce paperboard is old corrugated containers (OCC). Recycled fiber prices are subject to change on short notice due to several factors, including supply of OCC and demand for OCC from both domestic and international companies. OCC prices have increased recently. Our current customer contracts for gypsum liner include price adjustments that partially compensate for changes in the cost of raw materials, such as OCC and energy, including natural gas and electricity. However, because these price adjustments are not realized until future quarters, adjustments to material costs in our Gypsum Wallboard segment could be delayed until the effects of these price adjustments are realized.

Previous wording

Our energy costs were nearly flat during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and are expected to remain relatively stable over the near future. Freight costs for our Gypsum Wallboard segment, which delivers mostly by trucks, increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, and with current fuel prices increasing, they could continue to increase in fiscal 2027. Freight costs for our Cement segment, which relies mostly on rail delivery, also increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, and are expected to increase in fiscal 2027. Additionally, labor shortages, primarily of truck drivers, can adversely affect our Concrete business. Any worsening of labor constraints could cause delays and inefficiencies in this business.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities increased by $17.7 million to $154.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026. This increase was primarily attributable to higher cash flows from changes in Working Capital and noncash activity of $13.3 million and $25.6 million, respectively, partially offset by lower Operating Earnings of $21.2 million.

Current wording

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities increased by $23.1 million to $364.3 million during the six months ended September 30, 2026. This increase was primarily attributable to higher cash flows from changes in Working Capital and non-cash activity of $24.8 million and $45.4 million, respectively, partially offset by lower Operating Earnings of $47.1 million.

Previous wording

Working Capital decreased by $49.0 million to $641.8 million at June 30, 2026, compared with March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to lower Cash, Inventories, and Income Tax Receivable of $64.4 million, $28.8 million, and $1.2 million, respectively, and higher Accounts Payable, Accrued Liabilities, and Income Taxes Payable of $18.0 million, $6.1 million, and $2.8 million, respectively. This was partially offset by higher Accounts Receivable, net of $65.2 million and higher Prepaid and Other Assets of $7.7 million.

Current wording

Working Capital decreased by $72.7 million to $618.1 million at September 30, 2026, compared with March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to lower Cash and Inventories as well as higher Accounts Payable, of $56.8 million, $46.7 million, and $10.6 million, respectively. This was partially offset by $35.5 million of higher Accounts Receivable, net and $5.9 million of higher Prepaids and Other Assets.

Previous wording

The increase in Accounts Receivable at June 30, 2026, was primarily related to higher Revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2026, particularly in the month of June, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2026. As a percentage of quarterly sales generated for the respective quarters, Accounts Receivable was approximately 45% and 48% at June 30, 2026, and March 31, 2026, 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. No significant deterioration in the collectability of our Accounts Receivable was identified at June 30, 2026.

Our Inventory balance at June 30, 2026, decreased by approximately $28.8 million from our balance at March 31, 2026. Within Inventory, Raw Materials and Materials-in-Progress, Finished Cement, Aggregates, Recycled Paperboard, Repair Parts and Supplies, and Fuel and Coal declined $24.4 million, $0.8 million, $0.3 million, $2.1 million, $2.1 million, and $1.0 million, respectively. This was partially offset by an increase in Gypsum Wallboard inventory of $1.9 million. 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 plants, which creates the need to stock a high level of Repair Parts inventory. We believe all 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.

Interest Expense, net increased by approximately $3.8 million, or 18%, during the six months ended September 30, 2026. This increase was due to increased interest expense of approximately $11.7 million and increased other expenses of $0.9 million, which was partially offset by higher Interest Capitalized of approximately $5.4 million and higher interest income of $3.4 million. The increase in interest expense was primarily a result of our 5.000% Senior Unsecured Notes due March 2036, which were issued on November 13, 2025. The increase in Interest Capitalized was due primarily to capital spending for the expansion and modernization of our cement plant in Laramie, Wyoming and our gypsum wallboard plant in Duke, Oklahoma.
