"Our fourth quarter and full year 2021 results are evidence that our Elevate Summit strategy is driving improved execution and financial performance," said Summit Materials CEO Anne Noonan. "Today we are setting new annual records for Net Revenue, Net Income, Adjusted Cash Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA. With these results, we are either on track or have already achieved our Horizon One targets. That momentum continues into 2022 as we continue to optimize our portfolio, pursue self-help initiatives to improve performance, and drive market leadership to #1 or #2 positions in targeted exurban, higher growth communities underpinned by strong demand fundamentals."

Brian Harris, CFO of Summit Materials added, "We continue to advance each of our strategic priorities, including our market leadership and asset light model with eight strategic divestitures already closed and more in progress. These divestitures, together with continued organic growth and a stronger balance sheet as evidenced by a Summit-best net leverage ratio, provides us the financial flexibility to support further greenfield investments and pursue attractive opportunities to further optimize our portfolio."

During 2021, Summit received $128.3 million in proceeds from a total of eight divestitures as part of its Elevate Summit strategy.

2022 Guidance

For the full year 2022, Summit is currently projecting Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $535 million to $565 million and expects 2022 capital expenditure of approximately $270 million to $290 million including greenfield projects.

Full Year 2021 | Total Company Results

Net Revenue increased $97.9 million, or 4.6% in 2021 to $2.2 billion, despite one fewer reporting week in 2021 and reflects revenue growth in aggregates, cement, and ready-mix underpinned by strong demand conditions in most markets.

Operating income increased $27.9 million, or 12.4% in 2021 to $253.1 million, primarily due to higher revenue that more than offset higher cost of revenue and general and administrative expenses primarily associated with optimizing organizational efficiencies and implementing the Elevate Summit strategy. Summit's operating margin percentage for 2021 increased to 11.3% from 10.5% in 2020, due to the factors noted above.

Net income attributable to Summit Inc. increased to $152.2 million, or $1.29 per basic share, compared to $138.0 million, or $1.21 per basic share in the comparable prior year period. Summit reported adjusted diluted net income of $133.5 million, or $1.12 per adjusted diluted share as compared to $95.3 million, or $0.81 per adjusted diluted share in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $37.8 million, or 7.8% to $520.1 million reflecting strong operating results.

Fourth Quarter 2021 | Total Company Results

Net Revenue decreased $18.4 million, or 3.2% in the fourth quarter to $553.4 million.

Operating income decreased $9.0 million, or 13.6% in the fourth quarter to $57.2 million, as our costs of revenue increased. This was partially offset by lower depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion expenses. Summit's operating margin percentage for the three months ended January 1, 2022 decreased to 10.3% from 11.6%, from the comparable period a year ago.

Net income attributable to Summit Inc. increased to $43.8 million, or $0.37 per basic share, compared to $35.2 million, or $0.31 per basic share in the comparable prior year period. Summit reported adjusted diluted net income of $32.9 million, or $0.27 per adjusted diluted share as compared to $28.8 million, or $0.25 per adjusted diluted share in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $5.1 million, or 4.0% to $124.3 million.

Aggregates sales volume increased 8.6% in 2021 with organic growth in both the East and West segments. By market, volume growth in the Intermountain West, Virginia, Carolinas, Georgia, and British Columbia were partially offset by lower volumes in Kentucky. Average selling prices for aggregates increased 3.6% in 2021 with strong growth across both the East and West segments.

Cement Business: Cement segment net revenues increased 10.2% to $298.2 million in 2021. Cement segment adjusted cash gross profit margin increased to 39.9% in 2021, compared to 39.6% in 2020. The Green America Recycling facility is operational and continues to ramp up production after completing repair and commissioning activities late in the third quarter 2021 after its prolonged shutdown due to an explosion in April 2020. Sales volume of cement increased 6.3% and average selling prices increased 2.9% in 2021.

Products Business: Products net revenues of $1.1 billion in 2021 were relatively unchanged versus 2020. Products adjusted cash gross profit margin decreased to 18.3% in 2021, down from 19.2% in 2020. Ready-mix concrete average selling prices increased 3.4% and sales volumes increased 1.6% primarily reflecting a strong demand environment in the Intermountain West market that more than offset wet conditions in Texas. Average selling prices for asphalt increased 2.2%, with pricing growth across both reporting segments. Asphalt volume decreased 13.2% due to the divestiture of a paving business in 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2021 | Results by Line of Business

Aggregates Business: Aggregates net revenues increased by $6.5 million to $142.0 million in the fourth quarter. Aggregates adjusted cash gross profit margin decreased to 45.7% in the fourth quarter as compared to 49.9% in the fourth quarter 2020. Aggregates sales volume decreased 5.5% in the fourth quarter, due to the negative impact from comparisons to a 53rd week in 2020. Excluding this impact, volume growth was primarily driven by the East Segment, led by growth in Virginia and Missouri. Average selling prices for aggregates increased 8.6% in the fourth quarter with strong growth across both reporting segments.

Cement Business: Cement segment net revenues increased 9.8% to $79.2 million in the fourth quarter. Cement segment adjusted cash gross profit margin decreased to 42.7% in the fourth quarter, compared to 47.4% in the prior year period.

Products adjusted cash gross profit margin decreased to 18.3% in the fourth quarter, versus 19.6% in the prior year period. Average sales price for ready-mix concrete increased 3.5% driven primarily by pricing growth in the Intermountain West market. Sales volumes of ready-mix concrete decreased 4.8%, despite strong demand and favorable weather conditions, particularly in Houston. Average selling prices for asphalt increased 4.2%, driven by strong pricing growth across the East Segment markets that was partially offset by lower pricing in North Texas and Salt Lake City. Asphalt volume decreased 25.7% due largely to a paving business divestiture earlier in the year.

Full Year 2021 | Results By Reporting Segment

West Segment: The West Segment operating income decreased 3.0% to $171.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 0.2% to $271.6 million in 2021. Aggregates revenue in 2021 increased 16.9% as volumes and average sales prices increased 13.8% and 2.7%, respectively. Ready-mix concrete revenue in 2021 increased 9.0% with volume growth of 5.4% and average sales prices growth of 3.5% on favorable demand and weather conditions in Salt Lake City. Asphalt revenue decreased by 25.8% as volumes decreased 24.4% due to a divestiture in the second quarter 2021 that was only partially offset by 2.5% growth in average selling prices in 2021.

East Segment: The East Segment operating income increased 29.5% to $90.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 11.8% to $181.5 million in 2021. Aggregates revenue increased 9.1%, on volume growth of 3.8% and 5.1% growth in average selling prices with higher pricing across all markets. Ready-mix concrete revenue decreased 6.4% as volumes decreased by 9.2%, partially offset by average selling price growth of 3.1%. Lower ready-mix concrete volumes were primarily due to Kansas wind farm projects in the 2020 period that were not fully replaced in 2021. Asphalt revenue increased 27.7% as volumes increased 17.0% on volume growth in Kentucky, Kansas, and Virginia. Asphalt average selling prices increased 4.4% on higher liquid asphalt index prices across several markets.

Cement Segment: The Cement Segment operating income increased 19.5% to $66.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased 26.0% to $117.2 million in 2021 on volume and pricing growth. The segment reported growth in sales volumes and average selling prices of 6.3% and 2.9%, respectively in 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2021 | Results By Reporting Segment

West Segment: The West Segment operating income decreased 24.9% to $35.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 19.3% to $59.8 million in the fourth quarter. Lower operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to the impact from a divestiture. Aggregates revenue in the fourth quarter decreased 4.9% as volumes declined 10.2% more than offsetting average sales price growth of 5.8%. Ready-mix concrete revenue in the fourth quarter decreased 0.3% with volumes down 4.3%, which was mostly offset by 4.2% pricing growth. Asphalt revenue decreased 39.1% in the fourth quarter as volumes decreased 37.0%, due to a divestiture in the second quarter. Asphalt sales prices increased 3.3% in the period.

East Segment: The East Segment operating income increased 1.8% to $21.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 2.3% to $43.4 million in the fourth quarter. Despite unfavorable comparisons with an extra week in 2020, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA growth reflects strong pricing gains across all lines of business. Aggregates revenue increased 9.7%, as volumes decreased 0.4% and average selling prices increased 10.1%. Ready-mix concrete revenue decreased 4.7% as volumes decreased by 6.2%, partially offset by average selling price growth of 1.7%. Asphalt revenue increased 15.1% as volumes increased 1.1% on strong volume growth in Kentucky that more than offset volume declines elsewhere. Asphalt average selling prices increased 9.4% on higher liquid asphalt index prices across our markets.

Cement Segment: The Cement Segment operating income decreased 1.9% to $20.4 million in the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 17.1% to $34.9 million on higher volumes and pricing growth. In fourth quarter, the Cement Segment reported volume growth of 5.8% and average selling price growth of 2.7%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulates the use of “non-GAAP financial measures,” such as Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Cash Gross Profit, Adjusted Cash Gross Profit Margin, Free Cash Flow, Net Leverage and Net Debt which are derived on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We have provided these measures because, among other things, we believe that they provide investors with additional information to measure our performance, evaluate our ability to service our debt and evaluate certain flexibility under our restrictive covenants. Our Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Further Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Cash Gross Profit, Adjusted Cash Gross Profit Margin, Free Cash Flow, Net Leverage and Net Debt may vary from the use of such terms by others and should not be considered as alternatives to or more important than net income (loss), operating income (loss), revenue or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of operating performance or to cash flows as measures of liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and other non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA are that these measures do not reflect: (i) our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (iii) interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest and principal payments on our debt; and (iv) income tax payments we are required to make. Because of these limitations, we rely primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and other non-GAAP measures on a supplemental basis.

Adjusted EBITDA, Further Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Cash Gross Profit, Adjusted Cash Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Free Cash Flow, Net Leverage and Net Debt reflect additional ways of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to U.S. GAAP financial measures included in the tables attached to this press release, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are included in the attached tables. 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. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
