Tom Hill, Vulcan Materials'
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our aggregates-led
business delivered another quarter of earnings growth and margin
expansion. Even with significant rainfall disrupting
construction activity and operating efficiencies, our aggregates
cash gross profit per ton increased 12 percent. Gross profit
margin expanded 120 basis points. These results demonstrate
our consistent execution and the durable characteristics of our
business. The construction environment remains supportive of
continued aggregates price growth, and our focus remains on
compounding aggregates unit profitability to drive earnings growth
and strong cash generation."
Second Quarter Segment Results
Aggregates
Second quarter segment gross profit
increased 6 percent to $529 million
($8.79 per ton), and gross profit
margin expanded 120 basis points. Cash gross profit per ton
improved 12 percent to $10.92 per
ton. Continued pricing and operational execution drove margin
expansion despite lower shipments and challenging weather
conditions throughout the quarter.
Aggregates shipments decreased 5 percent as compared to the
prior year's second quarter as a result of significant rainfall in
many key markets, particularly in Texas and across the Southeast.
Price growth in the second quarter was strong with all markets
realizing year-over-year improvement. Freight-adjusted
selling prices increased 12 percent (mix-adjusted 11 percent) as
compared to the prior year.
Challenging weather conditions also impacted operating
efficiencies and contributed to the year-over-year increase in
freight-adjusted unit cash cost of sales in the quarter. On a
trailing-twelve months basis, unit cash cost has increased 10
percent.
Asphalt and Concrete
Asphalt segment gross profit was
$59 million, and cash gross profit
was $70 million, a 7 percent
improvement over the prior year. Shipments were in line with
the prior year's second quarter, and price improved 4
percent. Strong shipments in California were offset by lower shipments in
Texas due to wet weather.
Concrete segment gross profit was $5
million, and cash gross profit was $17 million. The prior year's second
quarter included results from the previously divested concrete
assets in Texas, which accounted
for more than 60 percent of the year-over-year decline in cash
gross profit.
Selling, Administrative and General (SAG) and Other
Items
SAG expense was $134
million compared to $139
million in the prior year's second quarter. As a
percent of total revenues, SAG expense was 6.7 percent in the
second quarter.
Other nonoperating expense was $9
million higher than the prior year's second quarter.
The year-over-year increase was mostly driven by a foreign currency
translation loss resulting from the rapid devaluation of the
Mexican peso in June following the election.
Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital
Allocation
The Company remains well positioned for continued
growth with a strong liquidity position and balance sheet
profile. Disciplined capital allocation has resulted in a 160
basis points improvement in return on average capital over the last
twelve months. As of June 30,
2024, the ratio of total debt to trailing-twelve months
Adjusted EBITDA was 1.7 times and below the Company's target range
of 2.0 to 2.5 times.
Capital expenditures were $195
million in the second quarter and $298 million on a year-to-date basis. For
the full year, the Company still expects to spend between
$625 and $675
million for maintenance and growth projects. During
the quarter, the Company completed bolt-on acquisitions in both
Alabama and Texas, two of the Company's top ten
states. The Company also returned $111
million to shareholders through $50
million of common stock repurchases and $61 million of dividends in the second
quarter.
Outlook
Regarding the Company's outlook, Mr. Hill
said, "Significant weather disruptions throughout the first half of
the year impacted both construction activity and operating
efficiencies, resulting in adjustments to our aggregates volume and
cost outlook for the full year. Despite the challenging
environment, aggregates cash gross profit per ton has increased
double-digits this year, and we expect this trend to continue for
the remainder of the year. The pricing environment remains
positive, and overall demand fundamentals continue to underpin
long-term growth."
Management expectations for 2024 include the following:
- Continued improvement in Aggregates segment cash gross profit
per ton ($9.46 in 2023)
- Total shipments down 4 to 7 percent (234.3 million tons in
2023)
- Freight-adjusted price improvement of 10 to 12 percent
($19.00 in 2023)
- High-single digit increase in freight-adjusted cash cost
(freight-adjusted price less segment cash gross profit per ton;
$9.54 in 2023)
- Total Asphalt and Concrete segment cash gross profit of
approximately $275 million
($320 million in 2023; which included
approximately 4 million cubic yards from concrete operations
divested in late 2023)
- Selling, Administrative and General expenses of $550 to $560
million ($543 million in
2023)
- Interest expense of approximately $155
million
- Depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization expense of
approximately $610 million
- An effective tax rate of 22 to 23 percent
- Net earnings attributable to Vulcan of $0.95 to $1.07
billion
- Adjusted EBITDA between $2.00 and
$2.15 billion

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Because GAAP financial
measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and
reconciling information is not available without unreasonable
effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking
non-GAAP measures, other than the reconciliation of Projected
Adjusted EBITDA as included in Appendix 2 hereto. For the same
reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the
unavailable information, which could be material to future
results.

1 Includes
product sales (crushed stone, sand and gravel, sand, and other
aggregates), as well as freight & delivery
|
costs that we pass
along to our customers, and service revenues related to
aggregates.
|
2 Includes
product sales, as well as service revenues from our asphalt
construction paving business.
|
|
3
Freight-adjusted revenues are Aggregates segment sales excluding
freight & delivery revenues and
|
|
other revenues
related to services, such as landfill tipping fees, that are
derived from our aggregates business.
|
4
Freight-adjusted sales price is calculated as freight-adjusted
revenues divided by aggregates unit shipments.
|
5 Sales
price is calculated by dividing revenues generated from the
shipment of product (excluding service revenues
|
generated by the
segments) by total units of the product shipped.

Aggregates segment
freight-adjusted revenues is not a Generally Accepted Accounting
Principle (GAAP) measure and should not be considered as an
alternative to metrics
defined by GAAP. We present this metric as it is consistent with
the basis by which we review our operating results. We believe that
this presentation is consistent with our
competitors and meaningful to our investors as it excludes revenues
associated with freight & delivery, which are pass-through
activities. It also excludes other revenues related
to services, such as landfill tipping fees, that are derived from
our aggregates business. Additionally, we use this metric as the
basis for calculating the average sales price of
our aggregates products. Reconciliation of this metric to its
nearest GAAP measure is presented below:

GAAP does not define
"cash gross profit," and it should not be considered as an
alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP. We and the
investment community use this
metric to assess the operating performance of our business.
Additionally, we present this metric as we believe that it closely
correlates to long-term shareholder value. Cash gross
profit adds back noncash charges for depreciation, depletion,
accretion and amortization to gross profit. Segment cash gross
profit per unit is computed by dividing segment cash
gross profit by units shipped. Segment cash cost of sales per unit
is computed by subtracting segment cash gross profit per unit from
segment freight-adjusted sales price.
Reconciliation of these metrics to their nearest GAAP measures are
presented
below:

GAAP does not define
"Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization"
(EBITDA), and it should not be considered as an alternative to
earnings measures defined by GAAP. We use this metric to assess the
operating performance of our business and as a basis for strategic
planning and forecasting as we believe that it closely correlates
to long-term shareholder value. We do not use this metric as a
measure to allocate resources. We adjust EBITDA for certain items
to provide a more consistent comparison of earnings performance
from period to period. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest
GAAP measure is presented below (numbers may not foot due to
rounding):

Similar to our
presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, we present Adjusted Diluted
Earnings Per Share (EPS) attributable to Vulcan from continuing
operations to provide a more consistent comparison of earnings
performance from period to period. This metric is not defined by
GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings
measures defined by GAAP. Reconciliation of this metric to its
nearest GAAP measure is presented below:

Because GAAP financial
measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and
reconciling information is not available without unreasonable
effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking
non-GAAP measures, other than the reconciliation of Projected
Adjusted EBITDA as noted above. For the same reasons, we are unable
to address the probable significance of the unavailable
information, which could be material to future results.

Net debt to Adjusted
EBITDA is not a GAAP measure and should not be considered as an
alternative to metrics defined by GAAP. We, the investment
community and credit rating agencies use this metric to assess our
leverage. Net debt subtracts cash and cash equivalents and
restricted cash from total debt. Reconciliation of this metric to
its nearest GAAP measure is presented below:

We define "Return on
Invested Capital" (ROIC) as Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing-twelve
months divided by average invested capital (as illustrated below)
during the trailing 5-quarters. Our calculation of ROIC is
considered a non-GAAP financial measure because we calculate ROIC
using the non-GAAP metric EBITDA. We believe that our ROIC metric
is meaningful because it helps investors assess how effectively we
are deploying our assets. Although ROIC is a standard financial
metric, numerous methods exist for calculating a company's ROIC. As
a result, the method we use to calculate our ROIC may differ from
the methods used by other companies. This metric is not defined by
GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings
measures defined by GAAP. Reconciliation of this metric to its
nearest GAAP measure is presented below (numbers may not foot due
to rounding):
