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 1,028,000 shares of its common stock for
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, 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 TIFIA (Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act), 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 more than offsetting 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, the Company anticipates the following for the full year:
- Aggregates end-use markets compared to 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 remain relatively flat to modestly down.

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; 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 drilling 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 reduction in capital investment by the railroads; an increase in the cost of compliance with governmental laws 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, help to 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 fluctuations in the price of coal affects costs. The Magnesia Specialties business is sensitive to changes in domestic steel capacity utilization and the absolute price and fluctuations 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 ability to efficiently transport aggregate into certain markets, most notably
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
Risks to the outlook also include shipment declines as a result of 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 months ended |

Incremental consolidated gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) is a non-GAAP measure. The Corporation 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 |
