Raising Full-Year 2025 Guidance

RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (NYSE: MLM) (Martin Marietta or the Company), a leading national supplier of aggregates and heavy building materials, today reported results for the second quarter ended June听30, 2025.

Second-Quarter Highlights

Ward Nye, Chair and CEO of Martin Marietta, stated, 鈥淥ur Company鈥檚 second-quarter performance is a testament to the value-added benefits of our geography and durable products. As a result, we established record quarterly aggregates revenues and second-quarter records for aggregates profitability, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, as sustained pricing momentum and effective cost management continue to yield strong results. Additionally, our Magnesia Specialties business achieved record quarterly revenues and second-quarter records for gross profit and gross margin. Importantly, the first six months of 2025 represented the lowest total reportable incident rate in Martin Marietta鈥檚 history. Given our strong first-half performance, together with acquisition contributions and current shipment trends, we are increasing our full-year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to $2.30 billion at the midpoint.

"Demand across our primary end markets remains varied. Infrastructure activity remains robust, underpinned by sustained record levels of federal and state investment. In nonresidential, accelerating data center development and a warehouse recovery are contributing positively to near-term demand, partially offsetting relative softness in interest rate-sensitive light commercial construction. We expect residential construction demand to remain subdued until ongoing affordability headwinds improve.

"We also continued our portfolio refinement, with a focus on generating consistently higher margins. On August 3, we entered into a definitive agreement with Quikrete Holdings, Inc. (Quikrete) for the exchange of certain of its aggregates operations for our Midlothian cement plant, related cement terminals and North Texas ready-mixed concrete assets. Additionally, on July 25, we completed the acquisition of Premier Magnesia, LLC (Premier), a privately-owned producer of magnesia-based products. This earnings-accretive transaction wholly aligns with our SOAR 2025 growth priorities and enhances our position as the leading producer of natural and synthetic magnesia-based products in the United States."

Mr. Nye concluded, "Martin Marietta's resilient aggregates-led building materials business in economically and structurally advantaged markets, together with our highly complementary Magnesia Specialties business, provides enduring earnings strength through periods of demand cyclicality. These pillars, anchored by the disciplined execution of our proven strategy, deep experience navigating through cycles and our clear runway for quality growth, solidify our foundation, enabling us to consistently deliver superior shareholder value creation."

Second-Quarter Financial and Operating Results

(Comparisons are versus the prior-year second quarter, unless otherwise noted)

Building Materials Business

The Building Materials business reported revenues of $1.7 billion, a 2 percent increase. Gross profit increased 3 percent to $517 million.

Aggregates

Second-quarter aggregates shipments decreased 0.6 percent to 52.7 million tons, as softening demand in Colorado and wet weather largely offset relative strength in the Southeast and acquisition contributions. Pricing momentum continued, as average selling price (ASP) increased 7.4 percent to $23.21 per ton.

Aggregates gross profit increased 9 percent to $430 million and gross margin expanded 94 basis points to 33 percent, both second-quarter records, driven by continued price/cost improvement.

Cement and Downstream Businesses

Cement and ready mixed concrete revenues decreased 6 percent to $245 million due primarily to lower shipments. Gross profit decreased 25 percent to $54 million due to lower shipments and higher ready mix raw material costs.

Asphalt and paving revenues decreased 7 percent to $228 million and gross profit decreased 8 percent to $33 million due to lower shipments and higher costs.

Magnesia Specialties Business

Magnesia Specialties achieved record quarterly revenues of $90 million, while gross profit increased 32 percent to $36 million and gross margin improved 605 basis points to 40 percent, both second-quarter records. This performance was due primarily to strong pricing, improved lime shipments, operational reliability and efficiency gains.

Portfolio Optimization

On July 25, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Premier, a privately-owned producer of magnesia-based products with operations in Nevada, North Carolina, Indiana and Pennsylvania.

The Company entered into a definitive agreement with Quikrete on August 3, 2025, for the exchange of certain assets. Under the terms of the agreement, Martin Marietta will receive aggregates operations producing approximately 20 million tons annually in Virginia, Missouri, Kansas and Vancouver, British Columbia, as well as $450 million in cash. In exchange, Quikrete will receive the Company鈥檚 Midlothian cement plant, related cement terminals and North Texas ready-mixed concrete assets (Divestiture Assets). The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

These portfolio optimizing transactions collectively provide for an increasingly robust aggregates-led business possessing a more durable and resilient earnings profile through cycles while preserving balance sheet flexibility for continued strategic plan execution.

Cash Generation, Capital Allocation and Liquidity

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June听30, 2025, was $605 million compared with $173 million for the prior-year period. 2025 cash provided by operating activities reflects the impact of deferred income tax payments in connection with disaster tax relief provided by the Internal Revenue Service, while 2024 included higher income tax payments resulting from the taxable gain associated with the February 2024 divestiture of the South Texas cement business and certain related ready mixed concrete operations.

Cash paid for property, plant and equipment additions for the six months ended June听30, 2025, was $412 million.

During the six months ended June听30, 2025, the Company returned $547 million to shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases. As of June听30, 2025, 11.0 million shares remained under the current repurchase authorization.

The Company had $225 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand and $1.2 billion of unused borrowing capacity on its existing credit facilities as of June听30, 2025.

Full-Year 2025 Guidance

The Company's 2025 guidance table below reflects the Premier acquisition as of its closing date and includes the results of operations for the Divestiture Assets which will be classified as discontinued operations beginning with the third quarter of 2025.

the level and timing of federal, state or local transportation or infrastructure or public projects funding and any issues arising from such federal and state budgets, most particularly in Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, Arizona, South Carolina and Iowa; 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 in response to such a decline, particularly in Texas; sustained high mortgage interest rates and other factors that have resulted in a slowdown in private construction in some geographies; unfavorable weather conditions, particularly Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Gulf Coast storm and hurricane activity, wildfires, the late start to spring or the early onset of winter and the impact of a drought, excessive rainfall or extreme temperatures in the markets served by the Company, any of which can significantly affect production schedules, volumes, product and/or geographic mix and profitability;
