Ward Nye, Chairman and CEO of Martin Marietta, stated, “Our third-quarter results highlight our commitment to execution of our value-over-volume strategy as double-digit pricing growth drove record profitability despite relatively flat organic aggregates shipments. Importantly, we expect a return to expanding margins in the fourth quarter as the compounding effect of multiple pricing actions throughout the year offsets continued inflationary pressure and a slowdown in single-family residential construction.

“Martin Marietta’s strategic coast-to-coast footprint is well-positioned for long-term growth, driven by favorable population migration trends, housing shortages in our markets and a long-term federal highway bill complemented by healthy Department of Transportation (DOT) budgets in the Company's key states. Near-term, we expect affordability driven headwinds in the single-family residential end market will be offset by a significant acceleration in public infrastructure investment and continued strength in large-scale energy, domestic manufacturing and multi-family residential projects.

Mr. Nye concluded, “While the Company’s 2022 year-to-date safety performance continues to be at world-class levels as measured by both Total Injury and Lost Time Incidence Rates, our work in this vital dimension is never done. Our commitment to continuous improvement in employee health and well-being, world-class safety, commercial and operational excellence, sustainable business practices and execution of our strategic plan reinforces our confidence in Martin Marietta’s ability to provide compelling results for the foreseeable future. Moreover, Martin Marietta’s track record of success throughout various business cycles proves the resiliency and durability of our aggregates-led business model, chosen geographies, and our ability to adapt to the challenges inherent in a dynamic macroeconomic environment. Importantly, we expect that the carryover effects of our 2022 pricing momentum, coupled with our broad-based January 1, 2023 announced price increases, will drive accelerated aggregates unit margin expansion next year.”

Third-Quarter Financial and Operating Results

(All financial and operating results are for continuing operations and comparisons are versus the prior-year third quarter, unless otherwise noted)

Building Materials Business

Building Materials generated record products and services revenues of $1.61 billion for the third quarter, a 15.9 percent increase, driven primarily by acquisitions and double-digit pricing growth across all product lines. Products and services gross profit increased 13.1 percent, or 10.9 percent on an adjusted basis, to a record $467.2 million. Elevated energy, internal freight, contract services as well as repairs and maintenance costs contributed to a products and services gross margin decline of 70 basis points, or 130 basis points on an adjusted basis, to 29.0 percent.

Aggregates 

Third-quarter organic aggregates shipments were flat, largely due to logistical constraints, cement shortages and inclement weather in certain key markets. Importantly, organic pricing increased 11.9 percent, or 11.3 percent on a mix-adjusted basis, due to the cumulative effect of price increases throughout the year. Including acquired operations, total aggregates shipments and pricing increased 5.6 percent and 11.6 percent, respectively.

By segment:

• East Group total shipments were flat, as solid underlying demand was negatively impacted by supply chain challenges as well as weather-related disruptions. Pricing increased 11.5 percent, or 10.3 percent on a mix-adjusted basis.
• West Group total shipments improved 15.6 percent, driven primarily by contributions from acquired operations as well as strong Texas demand, partially offset by a historically wet August in North Texas. Organic pricing increased 12.4 percent, or 13.2 percent on a mix-adjusted basis.

Third-quarter aggregates product gross profit improved 12.8 percent, or 10.5 percent on an adjusted basis, to a record $330.3 million, while product gross margin declined 170 basis points, or 240 basis points on an adjusted basis, to 32.5 percent, primarily due to increased energy, internal freight and repairs and maintenance costs.

Cement

Cement shipments increased 2.3 percent to 1.1 million tons, a third-quarter record. Additionally, pricing increased 21.4 percent, or 20.6 percent on a mix-adjusted basis, driven by continued strong demand and the impact of multiple price increases during the year. Cement product gross profit grew to a record $67.7 million, an increase of 35.7 percent, while product gross margins expanded 380 basis points to 41.5 percent, as pricing gains more than offset higher energy costs in the period.

Downstream businesses

On an organic basis, ready mixed concrete shipments were down 16.8 percent primarily due to record rainfall in portions of Texas during August as well as the completion of certain large projects. However, pricing increased 20.3 percent due to the positive impact of multiple price increases implemented during the year.

Ready mixed concrete product revenues and gross profit from continuing operations declined 29.1 percent and 40.3 percent, respectively, driven largely by the April 1 divestiture of our Colorado and Central Texas ready mixed concrete businesses, which was partially offset by contributions from acquired ready mixed concrete operations in Arizona. Increased raw materials costs weighed on gross margin.

On an organic basis, total asphalt shipments and pricing increased 4.3 percent and 22.0 percent, respectively. Notably, prior year volumes were constrained by the shortage in liquid asphalt, or bitumen.

Including contributions from the acquired West Coast operations, total asphalt shipments and pricing increased 31.3 percent and 26.1 percent, respectively. Total asphalt and paving product gross profit increased to a record $50.5 million. However, continued acceleration of liquid asphalt costs contributed to the gross margin compression of 360 basis points, or 470 basis points on an adjusted basis, in the third quarter. 

Magnesia Specialties Business

Magnesia Specialties product revenues decreased 4.0 percent to $69.0 million, driven largely by lower demand from domestic steel industry customers for dolomitic lime products. Product gross profit declined 22.9 percent to $21.6 million as higher energy costs, particularly natural gas, depressed gross margin in the quarter.

Consolidated

Other operating income, net, of $14.8 million includes $14.5 million in nonrecurring gains from the sales of surplus land and other assets.

On August 9, 2022, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell the Tehachapi, California cement plant and related distribution terminals to CalPortland Company for $350 million in cash. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.

Cash Generation, Capital Allocation and Liquidity

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $560.7 million compared with $780.3 million for the prior-year period.

Cash paid for property, plant and equipment additions for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $309.1 million. For the full year, capital expenditures are expected to range from $450 million to $500 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company returned $268.1 million to shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases. As of September 30, 2022, 13.1 million shares remained under the current repurchase authorization.

The Company had $135.7 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and nearly $1.20 billion of unused borrowing capacity on its existing credit facilities as of September 30, 2022.

On September 29, 2022, the Company utilized existing cash resources to satisfy and discharge its $700.0 million 0.650% Senior Notes due 2023. As a result of the satisfaction and discharge of the 2023 Notes, the obligations of the Company under the indenture in respect of the 2023 Notes have been terminated.

Updated 2022 Guidance

The Company’s updated 2022 guidance reflects actual results through nine months as well as the impact of lower expected aggregates volumes and continued inflationary pressure. This guidance excludes businesses classified as discontinued operations as well as the gain on divestiture from the second quarter of 2022.

2	Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See Appendix to this earnings release for a reconciliation to net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Martin Marietta.
3	Organic volume % growth range is for organic aggregates shipments, inclusive of internal tons, and is in comparison with 2021 organic shipments of 192.9 million tons.
4	Total volume % growth range is for total aggregates shipments, inclusive of internal tons and acquired operations, and is in comparison with total 2021 shipments of 201.2 million tons.
5	Organic ASP % growth range is for organic aggregates average selling price and is in comparison with 2021 organic ASP of $15.21 per ton.
6	Total ASP growth is for total aggregates average selling price, inclusive of acquired operations, and is in comparison with 2021 total ASP of $15.08 per ton.

Preliminary View of 2023

The Company’s preliminary view of 2023 anticipates aggregates shipments to be effectively flat as the Company expects stronger demand from public infrastructure and heavy nonresidential projects of scale to be offset by single-family residential softening. We anticipate aggregates pricing to increase by a low-double-digit percentage in 2023 as the carryover effects from multiple actions taken in 2022 are compounded with additional price increases beginning in January of next year.

Factors that the Company currently believes could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this release (including the outlook) include, but are not limited to: the ability of the Company to face challenges, including shipment declines resulting from economic 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, Colorado, California, North Carolina, Georgia, Minnesota, Iowa, Florida, Indiana and Maryland; the United States Congress’ inability to reach agreement among themselves or with the Administration 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 suspension of the fuel tax or a sustained period of low global oil prices or changes in oil production patterns or capital spending, particularly in Texas and West Virginia; increasing residential mortgage interest rates and other factors that could result in a slowdown in residential construction; unfavorable weather conditions, particularly Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico 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, particularly diesel fuel, notably related to the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, 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;

the economic impact of government responses to a resurgence of COVID-19; the performance of the United States economy; the impact of governmental orders restricting activities imposed to prevent further outbreak of COVID-19 on travel, potentially reducing state fuel tax revenues used to fund highway projects; a decline in the commercial component of the nonresidential construction market, notably office and retail space, including a decline resulting from economic distress related to the COVID-19 pandemic; increasing governmental regulation, including environmental laws; the failure of relevant government agencies to implement expected regulatory reductions; transportation availability or a sustained reduction in capital investment by the railroads, notably the availability of railcars, locomotive power and the condition of rail infrastructure to move trains to supply the Company’s Texas, Colorado, Florida, Carolinas and Gulf Coast markets, including the movement of essential dolomitic lime for magnesia chemicals to the Company’s plant in Manistee, Michigan and its customers; increased transportation costs, including increases from higher or fluctuating passed-through energy costs or fuel surcharges, and other costs to comply with tightening regulations, as well as higher volumes of rail and water shipments; availability of trucks and licensed drivers for transport of the Company’s materials; availability and cost of construction equipment in the United States; weakening in the steel industry markets served by the Company’s dolomitic lime products; trade disputes with one or more nations impacting the U.S. economy, including the impact of tariffs on the steel industry; unplanned changes in costs or realignment of customers that introduce volatility to earnings, including that of the Magnesia Specialties business that is running at capacity; proper functioning of information technology and automated operating systems to manage or support operations; inflation and its effect on both production and interest costs; the concentration of customers in construction markets and the increased risk of potential losses on customer receivables; the impact of the level of demand in the Company’s end-use markets, production levels and management of production costs on the operating leverage and therefore profitability of the Company; the possibility that the expected synergies from acquisitions will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period, including achieving anticipated profitability to maintain compliance with the Company’s leverage ratio debt covenant; changes in tax laws, the interpretation of such laws and/or administrative practices, including acquisitions or divestitures, that would increase the Company’s tax rate; violation of the Company’s debt covenant if price and/or volumes return to previous levels of instability; downward pressure on the Company’s common stock price and its impact on goodwill impairment evaluations; the possibility of a reduction of the Company’s credit rating to non-investment grade; and other risk factors listed from time to time found in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Continued)

Mix-adjusted average selling price (mix-adjusted ASP) is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impact of period-over-period product, geographic and other mix on the 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. The following reconciles reported average selling price to mix-adjusted ASP and corresponding variances.
