Record Net Sales, Gross Profit and Net Earnings

Consolidated Gross Margin (Excluding Freight and Delivery Revenues) Expands 340 Basis Points

Earnings per Diluted Share Increases 56%

Aggregates Product Line Pricing Up 7%

-----------------

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (NYSE:MLM) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Ward Nye, Chairman, President and CEO of Martin Marietta, stated: "We are pleased to deliver top-line and bottom-line growth with record net sales, gross profit and net earnings in the quarter. Net sales increased nearly 8 percent (12 percent excluding net sales attributable to the California cement business divested in the third quarter 2015). Gross profit and net earnings increased 23 percent and 49 percent, respectively. Diluted earnings per share of $1.90 increased 56 percent when compared with the comparable prior-year period. The record results for the quarter reflect our continued ability to capitalize on improving economic conditions across our markets, coupled with our disciplined approach to cost management and operational excellence.

"Aggregates product line pricing growth and cost discipline led to a 340-basis-point increase in our consolidated gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues). This gross margin expansion was achieved despite record or near-record rainfall and its attendant effects in many of our key markets, notably Texas, North Carolina and Colorado. Importantly, for every $1.00 increase in net sales, gross profit increased $0.71, which demonstrates the business' strong operating leverage with economic growth. The economic improvements we see across our geographic footprint, including both strong employment growth and population dynamics, together with robust public and private construction activity, further reinforces our positive outlook for a sustained construction-centric recovery during the next several years.

"Domestic job growth remains a strong catalyst for construction activity and, during the trailing-12 months ended June 2016, the United States added nearly two and one half million jobs. The southeastern United States' steady economic recovery is gaining momentum with North Carolina, Georgia and Florida all ranked in the top ten states nationally for employment growth. For the second quarter, these market conditions, among others, helped drive aggregates product line volume growth of 4.9 percent in the Mid-America Group, primarily due to increased private construction activity across North Carolina and South Carolina. Demand in the Mid-America Group was constrained by heavy rainfall during the first two months of the quarter. In fact, for April and May, aggregate volume was down 1.3 percent; however, volume growth of nearly 16 percent in June more than offset the early quarter weather deficit. Volume growth for the Southeast Group was 1.9 percent, benefitting from increasing public-sector demand in Georgia and Florida, while increases were partially impacted by a reduction in ballast shipments.

"Aggregate shipments in the West Group were hindered by extremely wet weather in Texas throughout the majority of the second quarter. As previously predicted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the El Niño effect, which began in the spring of 2015, concluded at the end of May 2016. In addition, the reduction of shale-related shipments compared with the prior-year quarter and lower ballast shipments due to decreased rail demand further impacted the West Group's second quarter results. While some construction activity was temporarily displaced, contractor backlogs reveal pent-up aggregate demand. Further, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex continues to be one of the nation's fastest growing areas, benefitting from strong population and employment trends."

Mr. Nye continued, "We remain highly optimistic as we look towards the second half of the year and well beyond. Our team is poised to capitalize on increasing demand, and we expect exceptional performance from all of our businesses. We remain steadfast in our commitment to enhance long-term shareholder value by continuing to build on our proven track record of disciplined and strategic geographic positioning and by benefitting from our world-class employees endowed with a relentless dedication to controlling costs while maintaining industry-leading safety standards."

QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS (All comparisons are versus the prior-year quarter unless noted otherwise)

Aggregates Business

Aggregates Product Line Shipments by End-Use

	Quarter-ended June 30, 2016		Six months-ended June 30, 2016
	% of total	% growth	% of total	% growth
Infrastructure	43%	1.3%	41%	8.8%
Nonresidential	33%	2.8%	33%	7.3%
Residential	17%	10.8%	18%	14.0%
ChemRock / Rail	7%	(21.1%)	8%	(18.6%)

Aggregates product line shipments to the infrastructure market comprised 43 percent of quarterly volumes and increased 1.3 percent. Growth was led by the Southeast Group, which increased 8.9 percent. The Mid-America and West Groups were impacted by significant rainfall and project delays in April and May, which deferred shipments and led to flat public-sector volumes. Growth in the Southeast Group was primarily attributable to large projects in Georgia, a state that is benefitting from legislation passed in 2015 increasing near- and long-term state infrastructure spending.

The nonresidential market represented 33 percent of quarterly aggregates product line shipments and increased 2.8 percent. The Mid-America Group achieved a 13.7 percent increase, followed by an increase of 1.6 percent in the Southeast Group. Notably, a broader improving economy is driving business investment in office and retail development, which are experiencing a rebound in markets not seen in the past several years. The West Group noted a decline in nonresidential activity, primarily related to weather deferrals and further reductions in shale energy demand.

The residential market accounted for 17 percent of quarterly aggregates product line shipments. Volumes to this segment increased 10.8 percent, due to the continued and expanding housing recovery, notably in the southeastern region of the country. While housing activity in the United States generally remains well below historic averages, strong growth in permits, starts and completions among the Company's top states reflects steady momentum in housing construction and indicates additional future gains from increased residential investment. In fact, Dallas and Atlanta, key Martin Marietta markets, are ranked first and second in the country, respectively, in permits growth. Further, during the second quarter, North Carolina, Iowa, Florida and South Carolina all reported double-digit growth in housing starts. The ChemRock/Rail market accounted for the remaining 7 percent of aggregates product line volumes. The volume decline in this segment principally reflects reduced ballast shipments driven by reduced coal demand, which impacts transportation and results in lower capital and maintenance activity by railroads.

Overall, aggregates product line shipments increased 1.3 percent. Geographically, growth was led by the Mid-America Group, which increased 4.9 percent, while the Southeast Group achieved a 1.9 percent increase. This growth offset the weather-impacted decline in the West Group.

Aggregates product line pricing improvement of 6.8 percent reflects growth in all reportable groups, led by a 10.0 percent increase in the West Group. The Southeast Group and Mid-America Group reported increases of 6.2 percent and 4.2 percent, respectively.

The ready mixed concrete product line continued to benefit from strong demand, better pricing and improved operating conditions, driving a 23.7 percent increase in shipments and a 15.4 percent increase in average selling price. In addition, these factors helped drive a 43.5 percent increase in net sales and a 560-basis-point improvement in gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues).

The Aggregates business' gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) was 25.4 percent, an increase of 300 basis points, driven largely by broad-based economic recovery, including growth in the southeastern United States.

Cement Business

The Cement business was slowed by wet weather in Texas, constraining shipments during the second quarter. Nonetheless, excluding the impact of the California cement business sold in 2015, cement shipments increased 2.2 percent in the quarter while pricing was down slightly, ahead of price increases taking effect in July and planned for October.

The business generated $59.8 million of net sales and $24.0 million of gross profit. For the quarter, gross profit margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) in the Cement business was 40.1 percent, which was relatively flat compared with the second quarter of 2015 (excluding the results of the California cement business). Planned cement kiln maintenance costs of $5.7 million were incurred during the quarter and are expected to be $2.0 million and $7.8 million in the third and fourth quarter, respectively.

The Company sees broad-based strength in Texas markets, where cement demand exceeds local supply. The Portland Cement Association, or PCA, forecasts continued supply/demand imbalance in Texas over the next several years.

Magnesia Specialties Business

Magnesia Specialties delivered strong performance and generated second-quarter net sales of $58.8 million, with notable contributions from the magnesia-based chemicals product line. Gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) in the quarter expanded 170 basis points to 36.8 percent. Second-quarter earnings from operations were $19.2 million compared with $18.8 million in the prior-year quarter.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS

SG&A was 6.7 percent of net sales, flat compared with the prior-year quarter. Earnings from operations for the quarter were $187.7 million compared with $137.0 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 37 percent.

The estimated effective income tax rate for the quarter was 30 percent, in line with annual guidance. For the year, the Company expects to fully utilize the $33 million remaining net operating loss carryforwards acquired with TXI.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of the year was $203.4 million in 2016 compared with $127.1 million in 2015. The increase is principally attributable to higher earnings before depreciation, depletion and amortization expense.

At June 30, 2016, the ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, as defined, for the trailing-12 months was 1.98 times, in compliance with the Company's leverage covenant and in line with the Company's target range.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

The Company is authorized to execute a share repurchase program under which it may acquire up to 20 million shares of its outstanding common stock. Repurchases are expected to be carried out through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated share purchase transactions, or any combination of such methods. The Company expects to complete the repurchase program over the next several years, though the actual timing of completion will be based on an ongoing assessment of the capital needs of the business, the market price of the Company's common stock and general market conditions. Share repurchases will be undertaken based on then-current business and market factors; therefore, the actual return of capital in any single quarter may vary. The repurchase program may be modified, suspended or discontinued by the Company at any time without prior notice.

During the quarter, the Company repurchased 215,000 shares of its common stock for $40.0 million. The Company has repurchased 4.5 million shares and, including the continued payment of a $1.60 annual dividend per share, returned $869 million to shareholders since announcing its repurchase authorization in February of 2015. As of June 30, 2016, there were 63.8 million shares of Martin Marietta common stock outstanding and 15.5 million shares remaining under the current repurchase authorization.

FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK

The Company is encouraged by positive trends in the markets it serves and its ability to execute its strategic business plans. Notably:

For the public sector, continued modest growth is expected in 2016 as new monies begin to flow into the system, particularly in the second half of the year. Additionally, state initiatives to finance infrastructure projects, including support from the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA), are expected to grow and continue to play an expanded role in public-sector activity.
Nonresidential construction is expected to increase in both the heavy industrial and commercial sectors. The Dodge Momentum Index is near its highest level since 2009 and signals continued growth. Additionally, energy-related economic activity, including follow-on public and private construction activities in its primary markets, will be mixed with overall strength in large downstream construction projects, providing a counterbalance to declines in shale exploration-related volumes.
Residential construction is expected to continue to experience good growth metrics, driven by positive employment gains, historically low levels of construction activity over the previous several years, low mortgage rates, significant lot absorption, and higher multi-family rental rates.

Based on these trends and expectations, including a return to normal weather patterns, the Company anticipates achieving the following for the full year:

Aggregates end-use markets compared with 2015 levels are as follows:
- Infrastructure market to increase mid-to-high single digits.
- Nonresidential market to increase in the high-single digits
- Residential market to experience a double-digit increase.
- ChemRock/Rail market to experience a modest decrease.

RISKS TO OUTLOOK

The 2016 outlook includes management's assessment of the likelihood of certain risks and uncertainties that will affect performance, including but not limited to: both price and volume, and a recurrence of widespread decline in aggregates volume negatively affecting aggregates price; the termination, capping and/or reduction of the federal and/or state gasoline tax(es) or other revenue related to infrastructure construction; a significant change in the funding patterns for traditional federal, state and/or local infrastructure projects; the volatility in the commencement of infrastructure projects; a reduction in defense spending, and the subsequent impact on construction activity on or near military bases; a decline in nonresidential construction; a further decline in energy-related construction activity resulting from a sustained period of low global oil prices or changes in oil production patterns in response to this decline and certain regulatory or other economic factors; a slowdown in the residential construction recovery, or some combination thereof; a reduction in economic activity in the Company's Midwest states resulting from reduced funding levels provided by the Agricultural Act of 2014 and a sustained reduction in capital investment by the railroads; an increase in the cost of compliance with governmental laws, rules and regulations; and unexpected equipment failures, unscheduled maintenance, industrial accident or other prolonged and/or significant disruption to its cement production facilities. Further, increased highway construction funding pressures resulting from either federal or state issues can affect profitability. If these negatively affect transportation budgets more than in the past, construction spending could be reduced. Cement is subject to cyclical supply and demand and price fluctuations. The Magnesia Specialties business essentially runs at capacity; therefore any unplanned changes in costs or realignment of customers introduce volatility to the earnings of this segment.

The Company's principal business serves customers in aggregates-related construction markets. This concentration could increase the risk of potential losses on customer receivables; however, payment bonds normally posted on public projects, together with lien rights on private projects, mitigate the risk of uncollectible receivables. The level of aggregates demand in the Company's end-use markets, production levels and the management of production costs will affect the operating leverage of the Aggregates business and, therefore, profitability. Production costs in the Aggregates business are also sensitive to energy and raw material prices, both directly and indirectly. Diesel fuel and other consumables change production costs directly through consumption or indirectly by increased energy-related input costs, such as steel, explosives, tires and conveyor belts. Fluctuating diesel fuel pricing also affects transportation costs, primarily through fuel surcharges in the Company's long-haul distribution network. The Cement business is also energy intensive and fluctuation in the price of coal affects costs. The Magnesia Specialties business is sensitive to changes in domestic steel capacity utilization as well as the absolute price and fluctuation in the cost of natural gas.

Transportation in the Company's long-haul network, particularly the supply of rail cars and locomotive power and condition of rail infrastructure to move trains, affects the Company's efficient transportation of aggregate into certain markets, most notably Texas, Colorado, Florida and the Gulf Coast. In addition, availability of rail cars and locomotives affects the Company's movement of essential dolomitic lime for magnesia chemicals, to both the Company's plant in Manistee, Michigan, and customers. The availability of trucks, drivers and railcars to transport the Company's product, particularly in markets experiencing high growth and increased demand, is also a risk and pressures the associated costs.

All of the Company's businesses are also subject to weather-related risks that can significantly affect production schedules and profitability. The first and fourth quarters are most adversely affected by winter weather. Hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf Coast generally is most active during the third and fourth quarters.

Risks to the outlook also include shipment declines resulting from economic events beyond the Company's control. In addition to the impact on nonresidential and residential construction, the Company is exposed to risk in its estimated outlook from credit markets and the availability of and interest cost related to its debt.

The Company's future performance is also exposed to risks from tax reform at the federal and state levels.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Dollars in millions)

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales and operating margin as a percentage of net sales represent non-GAAP measures. The Company presents these ratios calculated based on net sales, as it is consistent with the basis by which management reviews the Company's operating results. Further, management believes it is consistent with the basis by which investors analyze the Company's operating results, given that freight and delivery revenues and costs represent pass-throughs and have no profit markup. Gross margin and operating margin calculated as percentages of total revenues represent the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The following tables present the calculations of gross margin and operating margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the ratios as percentages of total revenues to percentages of net sales:

Incremental consolidated gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) is a non-GAAP measure. The Company presents this metric to enhance analysts' and investors' understanding of the impact of increased net sales on profitability. Due to the significant amount of fixed costs, gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) typically increases at a disproportionate rate in periods of increased shipments. The following shows the calculation of incremental consolidated gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) for the quarter ended June 30, 2016:

Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2016	$	915.4
Consolidated net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2015		850.2
Incremental net sales	$	65.2

Consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2016	$	246.7
Consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2015		200.2
Incremental gross profit	$	46.5

Incremental consolidated gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) for the quarter ended June 30, 2016		71	%
