ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the Company) is the United States second largest producer
of aggregates for the construction industry, including infrastructure, commercial, agricultural,
and residential. The Company also has a Specialty Products segment that manufactures and markets
magnesia-based chemical products used in industrial, agricultural, and environmental applications,
dolomitic lime sold primarily to the steel industry, and structural composite products. In 2006,
the Companys Aggregates business accounted for 92% of the Companys total net sales, and the
Companys Specialty Products segment accounted for 8% of the Companys total net sales.
The Company was formed in 1993 as a North Carolina corporation to serve as successor to the
operations of the materials group of the organization that is now Lockheed Martin Corporation. An
initial public offering of a portion of the Companys Common Stock was completed in 1994, followed
by a tax-free exchange transaction in 1996 that resulted in 100% of the Companys Common Stock
being publicly traded.
Initially, the Companys aggregates operations were predominantly in the Southeast, with
additional operations in the Midwest. In 1995, the Company started its geographic expansion with
the purchase of an aggregates business that included an extensive waterborne distribution system
along the East and Gulf Coasts and the Mississippi River. Smaller acquisitions that year,
including the acquisition of the Companys granite operations on the Strait of Canso in Nova
Scotia, complemented the Companys new coastal distribution network.
Subsequent acquisitions in 1997 and 1998 expanded the Companys Aggregates business in the
middle of the country and added a leading producer of aggregates products in Texas, which provided
the Company with access to an extensive rail network in Texas. These two transactions positioned
the Company for numerous additional expansion acquisitions in Ohio, Indiana, and the southwestern
regions of the United States, with the Company completing 29 smaller acquisitions between 1997 and
1999, which allowed the Company to enhance and expand its presence in the aggregates marketplace.
In 1998, the Company made an initial investment in an aggregates business that would later
serve as the Companys platform for further expansion in the southwestern and western United
States. In 2001, the Company completed the purchase of all of the remaining interests of this
business, which increased its ability to use rail as a mode of transportation.
Effective January 1, 2005, the Company formed a joint venture with Hunt Midwest Enterprises to
operate substantially all of the aggregates facilities of both companies in Kansas City and
surrounding areas. The joint venture was formed by the parties contributing a total of 15 active
quarry operations with production of approximately 7.5 million tons annually.
4
Between 2001 and 2006 the Company sold a number of nonstrategic operations, including
aggregates, asphalt, ready mixed concrete, trucking, and road paving operations of its Aggregates
business and the refractories business of its Magnesia Specialties business. In some of its
divestitures, the Company concurrently entered into supply agreements to provide aggregates at
market rates to certain of these divested businesses. The Company will continue to evaluate
opportunities to divest nonstrategic assets during 2007 in an effort to redeploy capital for other
opportunities.
Business Segment Information
The Company operates in four reportable business segments: the Mideast Group, Southeast
Group, and West Group, comprising the Aggregates business, and the Specialty Products segment. The
Specialty Products segment includes the Magnesia Specialties business and the structural composites
product line. Information concerning the Companys total revenues, net sales, earnings from
operations, assets employed, and certain additional information attributable to each reportable
business segment for each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006 is included in
Note O: Business Segments of the Notes to Financial Statements on pages 37-39 of the Companys
2006 Annual Report to Shareholders (the 2006 Annual Report), which information is incorporated
herein by reference.
Aggregates Business
The Aggregates business mines, processes and sells granite, limestone, sand, gravel, and other
aggregate products for use in all sectors of the public infrastructure, commercial and residential
construction industries as well as miscellaneous uses such as agriculture, railroad ballast and
chemical uses. The Aggregates business also includes the operation of its other construction
materials businesses. These businesses, located primarily in the West Group, were acquired through
continued selective vertical integration by the Company, and include asphalt, ready mixed concrete,
and road paving operations.
The Company is the United States second largest producer of aggregates. In 2006, the
Companys Aggregates business shipped 198.5 million tons of aggregates primarily to customers in 31
states, Canada, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean Islands, generating net sales and earnings from
operations of $1.9 billion and $400.3 million, respectively.
The Aggregates business markets its products primarily to the construction industry, with
approximately 42% of its shipments made to contractors in connection with highway and other public
infrastructure projects and the balance of its shipments made primarily to contractors in
connection with commercial and residential construction projects. As a result of dependence upon
the construction industry, the profitability of aggregates producers is sensitive to national,
regional, and local economic conditions, and particularly to cyclical swings in construction
spending, which is affected by fluctuations in interest rates, demographic and population shifts,
and changes in the level of infrastructure spending funded by the public sector. The Companys
Aggregates business covers a wide geographic area, with aggregates, asphalt products, and ready
mixed concrete sold and shipped from a network of approximately 307 quarries, underground mines,
distribution facilities, and plants in 28 states, Canada, and the Bahamas. The Companys five
largest revenue-generating states (North Carolina, Texas, Georgia, Iowa, and South Carolina)
account for approximately 58% of total 2006 net sales for the Aggregates business by state of
destination. The Companys business is accordingly
5
affected by the economies in these regions and has been adversely affected in part by recessions
and weaknesses in these economies from time to time.
The Companys Aggregates business is also highly seasonal, due primarily to the effect of
weather conditions on construction activity within its markets. The operations of the Aggregates
business that are concentrated in the northern United States and Canada typically experience more
severe winter weather conditions than operations in the southeastern and southwestern regions of
the United States. Excessive rainfall can also jeopardize shipments, production, and
profitability. Due to these factors, the Companys second and third quarters are the strongest,
with the first quarter generally reflecting the weakest results. Results in any quarter are not
necessarily indicative of the Companys annual results. Similarly, the operations of the
Aggregates business in the southeastern and Gulf Coast regions of the United States and the Bahamas
are at risk for hurricane activity and have experienced weather-related losses in recent years.
During 2005, aggregates shipments in the Companys southeastern and Gulf Coast markets were
adversely affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and several other storms during the 2005
record-setting hurricane season.
Natural aggregates sources can be found in relatively homogeneous deposits in certain areas of
the United States. As a general rule, truck shipments from an individual quarry are limited
because the cost of transporting processed aggregates to customers is high in relation to the price
of the product itself. As described below, the Companys distribution system mainly uses trucks,
but also has access to a river barge and ocean vessel network where the per mile unit cost of
transporting aggregates is much lower. In addition, acquisitions have enabled the Company to
extend its customer base through increased access to rail transportation. Proximity of quarry
facilities to customers or to long-haul transportation corridors is an important factor in
competition for aggregates business.
A growing percentage of the Companys aggregates shipments are being moved by rail or water
through a distribution yard network. In 1994, 93% of the Companys aggregates shipments were moved
by truck, the rest by rail. In contrast, in 2006, the Companys aggregates shipments moved 73% by
truck, 16% by rail, and 11% by water. The majority of the rail and water movements occur in the
Southeast Group and the West Group. The Company has an extensive network of aggregates quarries and
distribution centers along the Mississippi River system throughout the central and southern United
States and in the Bahamas and Canada, as well as distribution centers along the Gulf of Mexico and
Atlantic coasts. In recent years, the Company has brought additional capacity on line at its
Bahamas and Nova Scotia locations to transport materials via oceangoing ship. Further, in 2006,
the Company completed the second largest capital project in its history, a highly-automated plant
and barge loadout system at its Three Rivers facility in Kentucky. This new plant, which is
capable of producing more than 8 million tons per year for shipment to 14 states along the Ohio and
Mississippi River network, greatly expands the Companys long-haul distribution network.
In addition, the Companys acquisitions and capital projects have expanded its ability to ship
material by rail, as discussed in more detail below. The Company has added additional capacity in a
number of locations that can now accommodate larger unit train movements. These expansion projects
have enhanced the Companys long-haul distribution network. The Companys process improvement
program has also improved operational effectiveness through plant automation, mobile fleet
modernization, right-sizing, and other cost control improvements. Accordingly, the Company has
enhanced its reach through its ability to provide cost-effective coverage of coastal markets on the
east and gulf coasts, as well as geographic areas that can be accessed economically by the
Companys
6
expanded distribution system. This distribution network moves aggregates materials from domestic
and offshore sources, via rail and water, to markets where aggregates supply is limited.
As the Company continues to move more aggregates by rail and water, embedded freight costs
have consequently reduced gross margins. This typically occurs where the Company transports
aggregates from a production location to a distribution location by rail or water, and the customer
pays a selling price that includes a freight component. Margins are negatively affected because
the Company typically does not charge the customer a profit associated with the transportation
component of the selling price. Moreover, the Companys expansion of its rail-based distribution
network, coupled with the extensive use of rail service in the Southeast and West Groups, increase
the Companys dependence on and exposure to railroad performance, including track congestion, crew
availability, and power availability, and the ability to renegotiate favorable railroad shipping
contracts. The waterborne distribution network, primarily located within the Southeast Group, also
increases the Companys exposure to certain risks, including the ability to negotiate favorable
shipping contracts, demurrage costs, fuel costs, barge or ship availability, and weather
disruptions. The Company has entered into long-term agreements with shipping companies to provide
ships to transport the Companys aggregates to various coastal ports.
In 2005, and to a lesser extent in 2006, the Company experienced rail transportation shortages
in Texas and parts of the Southeast Group. These shortages were caused by the downsizing in
personnel and equipment by certain railroads during the economic downturn in the early part of this
decade. Further, in response to these issues, rail transportation providers focused on increasing
the number of cars per unit train under transportation contracts and are generally requiring
customers, through the freight rate structure, to accommodate larger unit train movements. A unit
train is a freight train moving large tonnages of a single bulk product between two points without
intermediate yarding and switching. In 2006, the Company brought a new plant online on a greensite
at its North Troy operation in Oklahoma, which is capable of producing 5 million tons per year and
handling multiple 90-car unit trains. Certain of the Companys sales yards in the southwestern
region of the United States have the system capabilities to meet the unit train requirements.
During 2005 and 2006, the Company made capital improvements to a number of its sales yards in this
region in order to better accommodate unit train unloadings. Further, in 2005, the Company
addressed certain of its railcar needs for future shipments by leasing 780 railcars under two
master lease agreements.
In 2005, following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the Company experienced delays and shortages
relating to its transportation of barges along the Mississippi River system. As the Gulf Coast
started to recover, the Companys barge traffic improved. However, in 2006 the Company experienced
delays in shipping materials through Lock 52 on the Ohio River, as scheduled repair and maintenance
activities were performed. These delays reduced the water traffic able to pass through Lock 52,
resulted in shipping delays for material shipped by barge through the lock during this time. While
the delays have ended and normal water traffic has resumed, another two-week planned outage is
currently scheduled for August 2007.
During 2006, the Company continued to experience shortages of barges from time to time. Barge
availability has become an issue as the rate of barges being retired is exceeding the rate at which
new barges are being constructed. Shipyards that build barges are operating at capacity, and the
lead time for new barges is approximately 18 months. In 2007, the Corporation will accept delivery
of 50 new barges.
7
The Companys management expects the multiple transportation modes that have been developed
with various rail carriers and via barges and deepwater ships should provide the Company with the
flexibility to effectively serve customers in the southeastern and southwestern regions of the
United States.
The construction aggregates industry has been in a consolidating mode. The Companys
management expects this trend to continue but at a slower rate as the number of suitable
acquisition targets in high growth markets decline. The Companys Board of Directors and
management continue to review and monitor the Companys strategic long-term plans, which include
assessing business combinations and arrangements with other companies engaged in similar
businesses, increasing market share in the Companys core businesses, and pursuing new
opportunities related to the Companys existing markets.
The Company became more vertically integrated with an acquisition in 1998 and subsequent
acquisitions, particularly in the West Group, pursuant to which the Company acquired asphalt, ready
mixed concrete, paving construction, trucking, and other businesses, which complement the Companys
aggregates business. These vertically integrated operations accounted for approximately 5% of
revenues of the Aggregates business in 2006. These operations have lower gross margins than
aggregates products, and are affected by volatile factors, including fuel costs, operating
efficiencies, and weather, to an even greater extent than the Companys aggregates operations. The
road paving and trucking businesses were acquired as supplemental operations that were part of
larger acquisitions. As such, they do not represent core businesses of the Company. The results
of these operations are currently insignificant to the Company as a whole. Over the last few years
the Company has disposed of some of these operations. The Company continues to review carefully
the acquired vertically integrated operations to determine if they represent opportunities to
divest underperforming assets in an effort to redeploy capital for other opportunities.
Environmental and zoning regulations have made it increasingly difficult for the aggregates
industry to expand existing quarries and to develop new quarry operations. Although it cannot be
predicted what policies will be adopted in the future by federal, state, and local governmental
bodies regarding these matters, the Company anticipates that future restrictions will likely make
zoning and permitting more difficult, thereby potentially enhancing the value of the Companys
existing mineral reserves.
Management believes the Aggregates business raw materials, or aggregates reserves, are
sufficient to permit production at present operational levels for the foreseeable future. The
Company does not anticipate any material difficulty in obtaining the raw materials that it uses for
current production in its Aggregates business. The Companys aggregates reserves on the average
exceed 50 years of production, based on current levels of activity. However, certain locations may
be subject to more limited reserves and may not be able to expand. Moreover, as noted above,
environmental and zoning regulations will likely make it harder for the Company to expand its
existing quarries or develop new quarry operations.
8
The Company generally sells products in its Aggregates business upon receipt of orders or
requests from customers. Accordingly, there is no significant order backlog. The Company
generally maintains inventories of aggregate products in sufficient quantities to meet the
requirements of customers.
Less than 2% of the revenues from the Aggregates business are from foreign jurisdictions,
principally Canada and the Bahamas, with revenues from customers in foreign countries totaling
$25.0 million, $16.4 million, and $15.4 million during 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.
Specialty Products Business
Magnesia Specialties Business. The Company manufactures and markets, through its Magnesia
Specialties business, magnesia-based chemical products for industrial, agricultural, and
environmental applications, and dolomitic lime for use primarily in the steel industry. These
chemical products have varying uses, including flame retardants, wastewater treatment, pulp and
paper production, and other environmental applications. In 2006, 65% of Magnesia Specialties net
sales were attributable to chemical products, 33% to lime, and 2% to stone.
Given the high fixed costs associated with operating this business, low capacity utilization
negatively affects its results of operations. A significant portion of the costs related to the
production of magnesia-based products and dolomitic lime is of a fixed or semi-fixed nature. In
addition, the production of certain magnesia chemical products and lime products requires natural
gas, coal, and petroleum coke to fuel kilns. Price fluctuations of these fuels affect the
profitability of this business.
In 2006, approximately 75% of the lime produced was sold to third-party customers, while the
remaining 25% was used internally as a raw material in making the business chemical products.
Dolomitic lime products sold to external customers are used primarily by the steel industry.
Accordingly, a portion of the profitability of the Magnesia Specialties business is dependent on
steel production capacity utilization and the related marketplace. Magnesia Specialties products
used in the steel industry accounted for approximately 43% of the net sales of the business in
2006, attributable primarily to the sale of dolomitic lime products. However, Magnesia
Specialties management has shifted the strategic focus of its magnesia-based business to specialty
chemicals that can be produced at volume levels that support efficient operations. Accordingly,
that business is not as dependent on the steel industry as is the dolomitic lime portion of the
Magnesia Specialties business.
The principal raw materials used in Magnesia Specialties products are dolomitic limestone and
alkali-rich brine. Management believes that its reserves of dolomitic limestone and brine are
sufficient to permit production at the current operational levels for the foreseeable future.
After the brine is used in the production process, the Magnesia Specialties business must
dispose of the processed brine. In the past, the business did this by reinjecting the processed
brine back into its underground brine reserve network around its facility in Manistee, Michigan.
The business has also sold a portion of this processed brine to third parties. In 2003, Magnesia
Specialties entered into a long-term processed brine supply agreement with The Dow Chemical Company
(Dow) pursuant to which Dow purchases processed brine from Magnesia Specialties, at market rates,
for use in Dows production of calcium chloride products. Magnesia Specialties also entered into a
9
venture with Dow to construct, own, and operate a processed brine supply pipeline between the
Magnesia Specialties facility in Manistee, Michigan, and Dows facility in Ludington, Michigan.
Construction of the pipeline was completed in 2003, and Dow began purchasing processed brine from
Magnesia Specialties through the pipeline.
Magnesia Specialties generally delivers its products upon receipt of orders or requests from
customers. Accordingly, there is no significant order backlog. Inventory for Magnesia
Specialties products is generally maintained in sufficient quantities to meet rapid delivery
requirements of customers.
Approximately 12% of the revenues of the Magnesia Specialties business are from foreign
jurisdictions, principally Canada, Mexico, Europe, South America, and the Pacific Rim, but no
single country accounts for 10% or more of the revenues of the business. Revenues from customers
in foreign countries totaled $17.0 million, $19.6 million, and $16.1 million in 2006, 2005, and
2004, respectively. As a result of these foreign market sales, the financial results of the
Magnesia Specialties business could be affected by foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic
conditions in the foreign markets. To mitigate the short-term effects of currency exchange rates,
the Magnesia Specialties business principally uses the U.S. dollar as the functional currency in
foreign transactions.
Structural Composite Products Line. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Martin
Marietta Composites (MMC), develops structural composite products. Pursuant to various
agreements, MMC has rights to commercialize certain proprietary technologies related to flat panel
applications. One of the agreements gives MMC the opportunity to pursue the use of certain
fiber-reinforced polymer composites technologies for products where corrosion resistance and high
strength-to-weight ratios are important factors, such as bridge decks, marine applications, and
other structures and applications. MMC continued its research and product development activities
during 2006 on these structural composites technologies and initiated or continued the
manufacturing and marketing of selected products.
In 2006, MMC narrowed the focus within several market sectors for its composite products:
military, transportation, and infrastructure. Military products consist of ballistic and blast
panels. Transportation products include commercial trucks and rail cars. Infrastructure products
include bridge decks. MMC is currently focusing its efforts on homeland security, military
applications and panel products. To date, MMC has completed 30 successful installations of bridge
decks in 13 states and 2 foreign countries utilizing these composite materials technologies. In
2006 MMC stopped using its license for the manufacture of composite truck trailers and wrote off
its investment in this product application of its structural composites business. MMC also
downsized the management group and the hourly workforce associated with the structural composite
product line. In 2007, the remaining components of the structural composites product line have
specific quarterly benchmarks to achieve to determine its viability. MMC will continue to
evaluate a variety of military and commercial uses for composite materials. There can be no
assurance that these technologies will become profitable.
Patents and Trademarks
As of February 16, 2007, the Company owns, has the right to use, or has pending applications
for approximately 129 patents pending or granted by the United States and various countries and
approximately 59 trademarks related to business. The Company believes that its rights under its
10
existing patents, patent applications, and trademarks are of value to its operations, but no one
patent or trademark or group of patents or trademarks is material to the conduct of the Companys
business as a whole.
Customers
No material part of the business of any segment of the Company is dependent upon a single
customer or upon a few customers, the loss of any one of which would have a material adverse effect
on the segment. The Companys products are sold principally to commercial customers in private
industry. Although large amounts of construction materials are used in public works projects,
relatively insignificant sales are made directly to federal, state, county, or municipal
governments, or agencies thereof.
Competition
Because of the impact of transportation costs on the aggregates industry, competition in the
Aggregates business tends to be limited to producers in proximity to each of the Companys
production facilities. Although all of the Companys locations experience competition, the Company
believes that it is generally a leading producer in the areas it serves. Competition is based
primarily on quarry or distribution location and price, but quality of aggregates and level of
customer service are also factors.
The Company is the second largest producer of aggregates in the United States based on tons
shipped. There are over 3,900 companies in the United States that produce aggregates. The largest
five producers account for approximately 26% of the total market. The Company, in its Aggregates
business, competes with a number of other large and small producers. The Company believes that its
ability to transport materials by ocean vessels, river barges, and rail have enhanced the Companys
ability to compete in the aggregates business. Some of the Companys competitors in the aggregates
industry have greater financial resources than the Company.
The Magnesia Specialties business of the Companys Specialty Products segment competes with
various companies in different geographic and product areas principally on the basis of quality,
price, and technical support for its products. The Magnesia Specialties business also competes for
sales to customers located outside the United States, with revenues from foreign jurisdictions
accounting for approximately 12% of revenues for the Magnesia Specialties business in 2006,
principally in Canada, Mexico, Europe, South America, and the Pacific Rim. Certain of the
Companys competitors in the Magnesia Specialties business have greater financial resources than
the Company.
The structural composites product line of the Companys Specialty Products segment competes
with various companies in different geographic and product areas principally on the basis of
technological advances, quality, price, and technical support. The structural composites product
line competes for sales to customers located outside the United States. Certain of the Companys
competitors in the structural composites product line have greater financial resources than the
Company.
11
Research and Development
The Company conducts research and development activities principally for its Magnesia
Specialties business, at its plant in Manistee, Michigan, and for its structural composites product
line, at its headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina, and its plant in Sparta, North Carolina. In
general, the Companys research and development efforts in 2006 were directed to applied
technological development for the use of its chemicals products and for its proprietary
technologies, including composite materials. The Company spent approximately $0.7 million in 2006,
$0.7 million in 2005, and $0.9 million in 2004 on research and development activities.
Environmental and Governmental Regulations
The Companys operations are subject to and affected by federal, state, and local laws and
regulations relating to the environment, health and safety, and other regulatory matters. Certain
of the Companys operations may from time to time involve the use of substances that are classified
as toxic or hazardous substances within the meaning of these laws and regulations. Environmental
operating permits are, or may be, required for certain of the Companys operations, and such
permits are subject to modification, renewal, and revocation.
The Company records an accrual for environmental remediation liabilities in the period in
which it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably
estimated. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change.
The accruals are not discounted to their present value or offset for potential insurance or other
claims or potential gains from future alternative uses for a site.
The Company regularly monitors and reviews its operations, procedures, and policies for
compliance with existing laws and regulations, changes in interpretations of existing laws and
enforcement policies, new laws that are adopted, and new laws that the Company anticipates will be
adopted that could affect its operations. The Company has a full time staff of environmental
engineers and managers that perform these responsibilities. The direct costs of ongoing
environmental compliance were approximately $8.5 million in 2006 and approximately $3.5 million in
2005 and are related to the Companys environmental staff and ongoing monitoring costs for various
matters (including those matters disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). Capitalized costs
related to environmental control facilities were approximately $6.4 million in 2006 and are
expected to be approximately $2 million in each of 2007 and 2008. The Companys capital
expenditures for environmental matters were not material to its results of operations or financial
condition in 2006 and 2005. However, our expenditures for environmental matters generally have
increased over time and are likely to increase in the future. Despite our compliance efforts, risk
of environmental liability is inherent in the operation of the Companys businesses, as it is with
other companies engaged in similar businesses, and there can be no assurance that environmental
liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future.
Many of the requirements of the environmental laws are satisfied by procedures that the
Company adopts as best business practices in the ordinary course of its operations. For example,
plant equipment that is used to crush aggregates products may, as an ordinary course of operations,
have an attached water spray bar that is used to clean the stone. The water spray bar also
suffices as a dust
12
control mechanism that complies with applicable environmental laws. The Company does not
break out the portion of the cost, depreciation, and other financial information relating to the
water spray bar that is only attributable to environmental purposes, as it would be derived from an
arbitrary allocation methodology. The incremental portion of such operating costs that is
attributable to environmental compliance rather than best operating practices is impractical to
quantify. Accordingly, the Company expenses costs in that category when incurred as operating
expenses.
The environmental accruals recorded by the Company are based on internal studies of the
required remediation costs and estimates of potential costs that arise from time to time under
federal, state, and/or local environmental protection laws. Many of these laws and the regulations
promulgated under them are complex, and are subject to challenges and new interpretations by
regulators and the courts from time to time. In addition, new laws are adopted from time to time.
It is often difficult to accurately and fully quantify the costs to comply with new rules until it
is determined the type of operations to which they will apply and the manner in which they will be
implemented is more accurately defined. This process often takes years to finalize and changes
significantly from the time the rules are proposed to the time they are final. The Company
typically has several appropriate alternatives available to satisfy compliance requirements, which
could range from nominal costs to some alternatives that may be satisfied in conjunction with
equipment replacement or expansion that also benefits operating efficiencies or capacities and
carry significantly higher costs.
Management believes that its current accrual for environmental costs is reasonable, although
those amounts may increase or decrease depending on the impact of applicable rules as they are
finalized from time to time and changes in facts and circumstances. The Company believes that any
additional costs for ongoing environmental compliance would not have a material adverse effect on
the Companys obligations or financial condition.
With respect to reclamation costs effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (FAS 143).
See Note N: Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Financial Statements on pages 36 and
37 of the 2006 Annual Report. Under FAS 143, future reclamation costs are estimated using
statutory reclamation requirements and managements experience and knowledge in the industry, and
are discounted to their present value using a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate of interest. The
future reclamation costs are not offset by potential recoveries. The Company is generally required
by state or local laws or pursuant to the terms of an applicable lease to reclaim quarry sites
after use. The Company performs activities on an ongoing basis that may reduce the ultimate
reclamation obligation. These activities are performed as an integral part of the normal quarrying
process. For example, the perimeter and interior walls of an open pit quarry are sloped and
benched as they are developed to prevent erosion and provide stabilization. This sloping and
benching meets dual objectives safety regulations required by the Mine Safety and Health
Administration for ongoing operations and final reclamation requirements. Therefore, these types
of activities are included in normal operating costs and are not a part of the asset retirement
obligation. Historically, the Company has not incurred substantial reclamation costs in connection
with the closing of quarries. Reclaimed quarry sites owned by the Company are available for sale,
typically for commercial development or use as reservoirs.
The Company believes that its operations and facilities, both owned or leased, are in
substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations and that any noncompliance is not
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations or financial condition. See
Legal Proceedings
13
on pages
27 and 28 of this Form 10-K and Note N: Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to
Financial Statements on pages 36 and 37 and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Environmental Regulation and Litigation on pages 59 and 60
of the 2006 Annual Report. However, future events, such as changes in or modified interpretations
of existing laws and regulations or enforcement policies, or further investigation or evaluation of
the potential health hazards of certain products or business activities, may give rise to
additional compliance and other costs that could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
In general, quarry and mining facilities must comply with air quality, water quality, and
noise regulations, zoning and special use permitting requirements, applicable mining regulations,
and federal health and safety requirements. As new quarry and mining sites are located and
acquired, the Company works closely with local authorities during the zoning and permitting
processes to design new quarries and mines in such a way as to minimize disturbances. The Company
frequently acquires large tracts of land so that quarry, mine, and production facilities can be
situated substantial distances from surrounding property owners. Also, in certain markets the
Companys ability to transport material by rail and ship allows it to locate its facilities further
away from residential areas. The Company has established policies designed to minimize
disturbances to surrounding property owners from its operations.
As is the case with other companies in the same industry, some of the Companys products
contain varying amounts of crystalline silica, a common mineral also known as quartz. Excessive,
prolonged inhalation of very small-sized particles of crystalline silica has been associated with
lung diseases, including silicosis, and several scientific organizations and some states, such as
California, have reported that crystalline silica can cause lung cancer. The Mine Safety and
Health Administration and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration have established
occupational thresholds for crystalline silica exposure as respirable dust. The Company monitors
occupational exposures at its facilities and implements dust control procedures and/or makes
available appropriate respiratory protective equipment to maintain the occupational exposures at or
below the appropriate levels. The Company, through safety information sheets and other means, also
communicates what it believes to be appropriate warnings and cautions its employees and customers
about the risks associated with excessive, prolonged inhalation of mineral dust in general and
crystalline silica in particular.
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 required the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the
EPA) to develop regulations for a broad spectrum of industrial sectors that emit hazardous air
pollutants, including lime manufacturing. The new standards to be established would require plants
in the targeted industries to install feasible control equipment for certain hazardous air
pollutants, thereby significantly reducing air emissions. The Company and other lime manufacturers
through the National Lime Association (NLA), the leading industry trade association, worked with
the EPA to define test protocols, better define the scope of the standards, determine the existence
and feasibility of various technologies, and develop realistic emission limitations and continuous
emissions monitoring/reporting requirements for the lime industry. The EPA received comments on
its proposed technology-based standards for the industry in November 2000, and a proposed rule for
the national emission standards for lime manufacturing plants was released on December 20, 2002.
The proposed rules favorably addressed many of the issues raised by NLA in the negotiation process.
NLA and the Company submitted comments on the proposed rules in February 2003. The EPA published
the final rule in the Federal Register on January 5, 2004, and facilities must be in compliance
within three years after the date of publication. The Company successfully achieved
14
compliance with the new technology-based standard by the January 5, 2007, deadline. The costs
associated to comply with the new regulations did not have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or results of the operations of the Company or of its Magnesia Specialties
business.
In February 1998, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GDNR) determined that both
the Company and the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) are responsible parties for
investigation and remediation at the Companys Camak Quarry in Thomson, Georgia, due to the
discovery of trichloroethene (TCE) above its naturally occurring background concentration in a
drinking water well on site. The Company provided the GDNR with information indicating that the
source of the release was either from an asphalt plant and associated GDOT testing laboratory that
was on the site in the early 1970s or from a maintenance shop that was operated on the property in
the 1940s and 1950s before the Company purchased the property. The Company entered into a
Consent Order with GDNR to conduct an environmental assessment of the site and file a report of the
findings. The Company and GDOT signed an agreement to share evenly the costs of the assessment
work. The assessment report was completed and filed. Based upon the results of the assessment
report, GDOT withdrew from the cost sharing agreement and has indicated it will not share in any
future remediation costs. The Company submitted a corrective action plan to GDNR for approval on
December 9, 2002. GDNR requested additional information which was duly submitted. GDNR approved
the plan on June 28, 2005, and the Company is implementing it. The Company is funding the entire
cost of future investigations and remediation which will occur over several years. Management
believes any costs incurred by the Company associated with the site will not have a material
adverse effect on the Companys operations or its financial condition.
In December 1998, the GDNR determined that the Company, the GDOT, and two former asphalt plant
operators are responsible parties for investigation and remediation of groundwater contamination at
the Companys Ruby Quarry in Macon, Georgia. The Company was designated by virtue of its ownership
of the property. GDOT was designated because it operated a testing laboratory at the site. The
two other parties were designated because both entities operated asphalt plants at the site. The
groundwater contamination was discovered when the Companys tenant vacated the premises and
environmental testing was conducted. The Company and GDOT signed an agreement to share the costs
of the assessment work. The report of the assessment work was filed with the GDNR. GDOT entered
into a Consent Order with GDNR agreeing to conduct additional testing and any necessary remediation
at the site. On May 21, 2001, GDNR issued separate Administrative Orders against the Company and
other responsible parties to require all parties to participate with GDOT to undertake additional
testing and any necessary remediation. The Company and GDOT submitted a corrective action plan to
GDNR for approval on May 20, 2002. GDNR requested additional information in connection with its
consideration of the submitted plan and subsequently approved the plan on July 19, 2004. GDOT
filed an amendment to the plan, which was approved on June 28, 2005. GDOT has been proceeding with
remediation activities which will occur over a number of years. Under Georgia law, responsible
parties are jointly and severally liable, and therefore, the Company is potentially liable for the
full cost of funding any necessary remediation. Management believes any costs incurred by the
Company associated with the site will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys
operations or its financial condition.
In the vicinity of and beneath the Magnesia Specialties facility in Manistee, Michigan,
facility, there is an underground plume of material originating from adjacent property which
formerly was used by Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) as a part of its operations.
Magnesia Specialties
15
believes the plume consists of paper mill waste. On September 8, 1983, the PCA plume and
property were listed on the National Priorities List (NPL) under the authority of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (the Superfund statute).
The PCA plume is subject to a Record of Decision issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) on May 2, 1994, pursuant to which PCAs successor, Pactiv Corporation (Pactiv), is
required to conduct annual monitoring. The EPA has not required remediation of the groundwater
contamination. On January 10, 2002, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ)
issued Notice of Demand letters to Magnesia Specialties, PCA and Pactiv indicating that it believes
that Magnesia Specialties chloride contamination is commingling with the PCA plume which
originates upgradient from the Magnesia Specialties property. The MDEQ is concerned about possible
effects of these plumes, and designated Magnesia Specialties, PCA and Pactiv as parties responsible
for investigation and remediation under Michigan state law. The MDEQ held separate meetings with
Magnesia Specialties, PCA, and Pactiv to discuss remediation and reimbursement for past
investigation costs totaling approximately $700,000. Magnesia Specialties entered into an
Administrative Order with the MDEQ to pay for a portion of MDEQs past investigation costs and
thereby limit its liability for past costs in the amount of $20,000. Michigan law provides that
responsible parties are jointly and severally liable, and, therefore, Magnesia Specialties is
potentially liable for the full cost of funding future investigative activities and any necessary
remediation. Michigan law also provides a procedure whereby liability may be apportioned among
responsible parties if it is capable of division. The Company believes that the liability most
likely will be apportioned and that any such costs attributed to Magnesia Specialties brine
contamination will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations or its financial
condition, but can give no assurance that the liability will be apportioned or that the compliance
costs will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of the
operations of the Magnesia Specialties business.
Employees
As of February 16, 2007, the Company has approximately 5,500 employees, of which 4,070 are
hourly employees and 1,430 are salaried employees. Included among these employees are 762 hourly
employees represented by labor unions (13.8% of the Companys employees). Of such amount, 13.7% of
the Companys Aggregates businesss hourly employees are members of a labor union, while 99% of the
Specialty Products segments hourly employees are represented by labor unions. The Companys
principal union contracts cover employees of the Magnesia Specialties business at the Manistee,
Michigan, magnesia-based chemicals plant and the Woodville, Ohio, lime plant. The Manistee
collective bargaining agreement expires in August 2007. The Woodville collective bargaining
agreement expires in June 2010. While management does not expect any significant issues in
renewing the Manistee labor union agreement, there can be no assurance that a successor agreement
will be reached at the Manistee location this year.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
An investment in our common stock or debt securities involves risks and uncertainties. You
should consider the following factors carefully, in addition to the other information contained in
this Form 10-K, before deciding to purchase or otherwise trade our securities.
This Form 10-K and other written reports and oral statements made from time to time by the
Company contain statements which, to the extent they are not recitations of historical fact,
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities law. Investors are
cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and are based on
assumptions that the Company believes in good faith are reasonable, but which may be materially
different from actual results. Investors can identify these statements by the fact that they do
not relate only to historic or current facts. The words may, wills, could, should,
anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, forecast, intend, outlook, plan, project, scheduled, and similar expressions
in connection with future events or future operating or financial performance are intended to
identify
17
forward-looking statements. Any or all of the Companys forward-looking statements in
this Form 10-K and in other publications may turn out to be wrong.
Statements and assumptions on future revenues, income and cash flows, performance, economic
trends, the outcome of litigation, regulatory compliance, and environmental remediation cost
estimates are examples of forward-looking statements. Numerous factors, including potentially the
risk factors described in this section, could affect our forward-looking statements and actual
performance.
Factors that the Company currently believes could cause its actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set
out below. In addition to the risk factors described below, we urge you to read our Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2006 Annual Report
to Shareholders.
Our aggregates business is cyclical and depends on activity within the construction industry.
We sell most of our aggregate products to the construction industry, so our results depend on
the strength of the construction industry. Since our business depends on construction spending,
which can be cyclical, our profits are sensitive to national, regional, and local economic
conditions. Construction spending is affected by economic conditions, changes in interest rates,
demographic and population shifts, and changes in construction spending by federal, state, and
local governments. If economic conditions change, a recession in the construction industry may
occur and affect the demand for our aggregate products. Construction spending can also be
disrupted by terrorist activity and armed conflicts.
While our aggregate operations cover a wide geographic area, our earnings depend on the
strength of the local economies in which we operate because of the high cost to transport our
products relative to their price. If economic conditions and construction spending decline
significantly in one or more areas, particularly in our top five revenue-generating states of North
Carolina, Texas, Georgia, Iowa and South Carolina, our profitability will decrease.
Within the construction industry, we sell our aggregate products for use in both commercial
construction and residential construction. While the outlook for commercial construction is
positive in many markets, residential construction declined in 2006 and is expected to decline
further in 2007. Approximately 20% of our aggregates shipments in 2006 were to the residential
construction market. While we believe the downturn in residential construction will moderate
during the latter part of 2007, we cannot be sure of the existence or timing of any moderation.
Our aggregate products are used in public infrastructure projects, which include the
construction, maintenance, and improvement of highways, bridges, schools, prisons, and similar
projects. So our business is dependent on the level of federal, state, and local spending on these
projects. We cannot be assured of the existence, amount, and timing of appropriations for spending
on these projects. For example, while the current federal highway law passed in 2005 provides
funding of $286.4 billion for highway, transit, and highway safety programs through September 30,
2009, Congress must pass an appropriations bill each year to approve spending these funds. We
cannot be
assured that Congress will pass an appropriations bill each year to approve funding at the level
authorized in the federal highway law. Similarly, each state funds its infrastructure spending
from
18
specially allocated amounts collected from various taxes, typically gasoline taxes and vehicle
fees, along with voter-approved bond programs. Shortages in state tax revenues can reduce the
amounts spent on state infrastructure projects, even below amounts awarded under legislative bills.
Delays in state infrastructure spending can hurt our business. For example, we expect delays in
infrastructure spending in North Carolina and South Carolina will continue in 2007, which will
limit our business growth in those states until the level and timing of spending improves.
Our aggregates business is seasonal and subject to the weather.
Since the construction aggregates business is conducted outdoors, seasonal changes and
other weather conditions affect our business. Adverse weather conditions, including hurricanes and
tropical storms, cold weather, snow, and heavy or sustained rainfall, reduce construction activity
and the demand for our products. Adverse weather conditions also increase our costs and reduce our
production output as a result of power loss, needed plant and equipment repairs, time required to
remove water from flooded operations, and similar events. The construction aggregates business
production and shipment levels follow activity in the construction industry, which typically occur
in the spring, summer and fall. Because of the weathers effect on the construction industrys
activity, the aggregates business production and shipment levels vary by quarter. The second and
third quarters are generally the most profitable and the first quarter is generally the least
profitable.
Our aggregates business depends on the availability of aggregate reserves or deposits and our
ability to mine them economically.
Our challenge is to find aggregate deposits that we can mine economically, with appropriate
permits, near either growing markets or long-haul transportation corridors that economically serve
growing markets. As communities have grown, they have taken up attractive quarrying locations and
have imposed restrictions on mining. We try to meet this challenge by identifying and permitting
sites prior to economic expansion, buying more land around our existing quarries to increase our
mineral reserves, developing underground mines, and developing a distribution network that
transports aggregates products by various transportation methods, including rail and water, that
allows us to transport our products longer distances than would normally be considered economical.
Our aggregates business is a capital-intensive business.
The property and machinery needed to produce our products are very expensive. Therefore, we
must have access to large amounts of cash to operate our businesses. We believe we have adequate
cash to run our businesses. Because significant portions of our operating costs are fixed in
nature, our financial results are sensitive to production volume changes.
Our businesses face many competitors.
Our businesses have many competitors, some of whom are bigger and have more resources than we
do. Some of our competitors also operate on a worldwide basis. Our results are affected by the
number of competitors in a market, the production capacity that a particular market can
accommodate, the pricing practices of other competitors, and the entry of new competitors in a
market.
We also face competition for some of our products from alternative products. For example, our
19
magnesia specialties business may compete with other chemical products that could be used instead
of our magnesia-based products.
Our future growth may depend in part on acquiring other businesses in our industry.
We expect to continue to grow, in part, by buying other businesses. While the pace of
acquisitions has slowed considerably over the last few years, we will continue to look for
strategic businesses to acquire. In the past, we have made acquisitions to strengthen our existing
locations, expand our operations, and enter new geographic markets. We will continue to make
selective acquisitions, joint ventures, or other business arrangements we believe will help our
company. However, the continued success of our acquisition program will depend on our ability to
find and buy other attractive businesses at a reasonable price and our ability to integrate
acquired businesses into our existing operations. We cannot assume there will continue to be
attractive acquisition opportunities for sale at reasonable prices that we can successfully
integrate into our operations.
We may decide to pay all or part of the purchase price of any future acquisition with shares
of our common stock. We may also use our stock to make strategic investments in other companies to
complement and expand our operations. If we use our common stock in this way, the ownership
interests of our shareholders will be diluted and the price of our stock could fall. We operate
our businesses with the objective of maximizing the long-term shareholder return.
We acquired 62 companies from 1995 through 2002. Some of these acquisitions were more easily
integrated into our existing operations and have performed as well or better than we expected,
while others have not. We have sold underperforming and other non-strategic assets, particularly
lower margin businesses like our asphalt plants in Houston, Texas, and our road paving businesses
in Shreveport, Louisiana, and Texarkana, Arkansas.
Short supplies and high costs of fuel and energy affect our businesses.
Our businesses require a continued supply of diesel fuel, natural gas, coal, petroleum coke
and other energy. The financial results of these businesses have been affected at times by the
short supply or high costs of these fuels and energy. While we can contract for some fuels and
sources of energy, significant increases in costs or reduced availability of these items have and
may in the future reduce our financial results.
Changes in legal requirements and governmental policies concerning zoning, land use, the
environment, and other areas of the law, and litigation relating to these matters, affect our
businesses. Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities.
Many federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to zoning, land use, the
environment, health, safety, and other regulatory matters govern our operations. We take great
pride in our operations and try to remain in strict compliance at all times with all applicable
laws and regulations. Despite our extensive compliance efforts, risk of liabilities, particularly
environmental liabilities, is inherent in the operation of our businesses, as it is with our
competitors. We cannot assume that these liabilities will not negatively affect us in the future.
20
We are also subject to future events, including changes in existing laws or regulations or
enforcement policies, or further investigation or evaluation of the potential health hazards of
some of our products or business activities, which may result in additional compliance and other
costs. We could be forced to invest in preventive or remedial action, like pollution control
facilities, which could be substantial.
Our operations are subject to manufacturing, operating, and handling risks associated with the
products we produce and the products we use in our operations, including the related storage and
transportation of raw materials, products, hazardous substances, and wastes. We are exposed to
hazards including storage tank leaks, explosions, discharges or releases of hazardous substances,
exposure to dust, and the operation of mobile equipment and manufacturing machinery.
These risks can subject us to potentially significant liabilities relating to personal injury
or death, or property damage, and may result in civil or criminal penalties, which could hurt our
productivity or profitability. For example, from time to time we investigate and remediate
environmental contamination relating to our prior or current operations, as well as operations we
have acquired from others, and in some cases we have been or could be named as a defendant in
litigation brought by governmental agencies or private parties.
We are involved from time to time in litigation and claims arising from our operations. While
we do not believe the outcome of pending or threatened litigation will have a material adverse
effect on our operations or our financial condition, we cannot assume that an adverse outcome in a
pending or future legal action would not negatively affect us.
Labor disputes could disrupt operations of our businesses.
Labor unions represent 13.7% of the hourly employees of our aggregates business and 99% of the
hourly employees of our specialty products business. Our collective bargaining agreements for
employees of our magnesia specialties business at the Woodville, Ohio lime plant and the Manistee,
Michigan magnesia chemicals plant expire in June 2010 and August 2007, respectively. While we do
not expect any significant issues in renewing the Manistee labor union agreement, we cannot be sure
a new agreement will be reached at the Manistee location this year.
Disputes with our trade unions, or the inability to renew our labor agreements, could lead to
strikes or other actions that could disrupt our businesses, raise costs, and reduce revenues and
earnings from the affected locations. We believe we have good relations with all of our employees,
including our unionized employees.
Delays or interruptions in shipping products of our businesses could affect our operations.
Transportation logistics play an important role in allowing us to supply products to our
customers, whether by truck, rail, barge, or ship. Any significant delays, disruptions, or the
non-availability of our transportation support system could negatively affect our operations. For
example, in 2005 and partially in 2006, we experienced rail transportation shortages in Texas and
parts of the southeastern region of the United States. In 2005, following Hurricanes Katrina and
Rita, we experienced significant barge transportation problems along the Mississippi River system.
In 2006, we experienced delays in shipping our materials through Lock 52 on the Ohio River while
scheduled
21
repair and maintenance activities were performed. While the delays have ended, and normal water
traffic has resumed, another two-week planned outage is currently scheduled for August 2007.
Water levels can also affect our ability to transport our products. High water levels limit
the number of barges we can transport and can require that we use additional horsepower to tow
barges. Low water levels can reduce the amount of material we can transport in each barge.
The availability of rail cars and barges can also affect our ability to transport our
products. Rail cars and barges can be used to transport many different types of products. If
owners sell or lease rail cars and barges for use in other industries, we may not have enough rail
cars and barges to transport our products. Barges have become particularly scarce, since barges
are being retired faster than new barges are being built. Shipyards that build barges are
operating at capacity, so the lead time to buy or lease a new barge can extend many months. In
2005, we leased 780 additional rail cars. In 2006, we contracted to buy 50 new barges that will be
delivered in 2007.
We have long-term agreements with shipping companies to provide ships to transport our
aggregate products from our Bahamas and Nova Scotia operations to various coastal ports. These
contracts have varying expiration dates ranging from 2008 to 2017 and generally contain renewal
options. Our inability to renew these agreements or enter into new ones with other shipping
companies could affect our ability to transport our products.
Our earnings are affected by the application of accounting standards and our critical accounting
policies, which involve subjective judgments and estimates by our management. Our estimates and
assumptions could be wrong.
The accounting standards we use in preparing our financial statements are often complex and
require that we make significant estimates and assumptions in interpreting and applying those
standards. We make critical estimates and assumptions involving accounting matters including our
stock-based compensation, our goodwill impairment testing, our expenses and cash requirements for
our pension plans, our estimated income taxes, and how we account for our property, plant and
equipment, and inventory. These estimates and assumptions involve matters that are inherently
uncertain and require our subjective and complex judgments. If we used different estimates and
assumptions or used different ways to determine these estimates, our financial results could
differ.
While we believe our estimates and assumptions are appropriate, we could be wrong.
Accordingly, our financial results could be different, either higher or lower. We urge you to read
about our critical accounting policies in our Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders.
The adoption of new accounting standards may affect our financial results.
The accounting standards we apply in preparing our financial statements are reviewed by
regulatory bodies and are changed from time to time. New or revised accounting standards could
change our financial results either positively or negatively. For example, beginning in 2006, we
were required under new accounting standards to expense the fair value of stock options we award
our management and key employees as part of their compensation. This resulted in a reduction of
our earnings and made comparisons between financial periods more difficult. We urge you to read
about
22
our accounting policies and changes in our accounting policies in Note A of our 2006 financial
statements.
We depend on the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, and our failure to attract and
retain such personnel could affect our business.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued services of our key personnel
and executive officers. Our prospects depend upon our ability to attract and retain qualified
personnel for our operations. Competition for personnel is intense, and we may not be successful
in attracting or retaining qualified personnel, which could negatively affect our business.
Our magnesia specialties business depends in part on the steel industry and the supply of
reasonably priced fuels.
Our magnesia specialties business sells some of its products to companies in the steel
industry. While we have reduced this risk over the last few years, this business is still
dependent, in part, on the strength of the highly-cyclical steel industry. The magnesia
specialties business also requires significant amounts of natural gas, coal, and petroleum coke,
and financial results are negatively affected by high fuel prices or shortages.
Our structural composites product line has not generated any profits since its inception.
Our structural composites product line faces many challenges before it becomes break-even or
generates a profit. For 2007, we have set specific quarterly benchmarks for the structural
composites product line to achieve in order for us to determine its viability. We cannot ensure the
future profitability of this product line.
Market expectations for our financial performance are high.
We believe that the price of our stock reflects the recent advantageous shift in industry
pricing trends whereby there is increased demand for aggregates along with scarcity of supply in
high-growth areas, which has resulted in prices that are higher than historic levels. If we are
wrong about this change in pricing trends, then other market dynamics such as lower volumes, delays
in infrastructure spending, declines in residential construction, and higher costs could result in
lower pricing and lower earnings. If this happens, the market price of our stock could drop
sharply. The price of our stock may also reflect market expectations regarding further
consolidation of the aggregates industry.
Our articles of incorporation, bylaws, and shareholder rights plan and North Carolina law may
inhibit a change in control that you may favor.
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws, shareholder rights plan, and North Carolina law contain
provisions that may delay, deter or inhibit a future acquisition of us not approved by our board of
directors. This could occur even if our shareholders are offered an attractive value for their
shares or if many or even a majority of our shareholders believe the takeover is in their best
interest. These provisions are intended to encourage any person interested in acquiring us to
negotiate with and obtain the approval of our board of directors in connection with the
transaction. Provisions that could delay, deter, or inhibit a future acquisition include the
following:
23
|
n |
|
a classified board of directors; |
|
|
n |
|
the requirement that our shareholders may only remove directors for cause; |
|

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Aggregates Business
As of December 31, 2006, the Company processed or shipped aggregates from 294 quarries,
underground mines, and distribution yards in 28 states and in Canada and the Bahamas, of which 103
are located on land owned by the Company free of major encumbrances, 59 are on land owned in part
and leased in part, 128 are on leased land, and 4 are on facilities neither owned nor leased, where
raw
materials are removed under an agreement. The Companys aggregates reserves on the average exceed
24
50 years of production, based on current levels of activity. However, certain locations may be
subject to more limited reserves and may not be able to expand. In addition, as of December 31,
2006, the Company processed and shipped ready mixed concrete and/or asphalt products from 13
properties in 3 states, of which 11 are located on land owned by the Company free of major
encumbrances and 2 are on leased land.
The Company uses various drilling methods, depending on the type of aggregate, to estimate
aggregates reserves that are economically mineable. The extent of drilling varies and depends on
whether the location is a potential new site (greensite), an existing location, or a potential
acquisition. More extensive drilling is performed for potential greensites and acquisitions, and
in rare cases the Company may rely on existing geological data or results of prior drilling by
third parties. Subsequent to drilling, selected core samples are tested for soundness, abrasion
resistance, and other physical properties relevant to the aggregates industry. If the reserves
meet the Companys standards and are economically mineable, then they are either leased or
purchased.
The Company estimates proven and probable reserves based on the results of drilling. Proven
reserves are reserves of deposits designated using closely spaced drill data, and based on that
data the reserves are believed to be relatively homogenous. Proven reserves have a certainty of
85% to 90%. Probable reserves are reserves that are inferred utilizing fewer drill holes and/or
assumptions about the economically mineable reserves based on local geology or drill results from
adjacent properties. The degree of certainty for probable reserves is 70% to 75%. In determining
the amount of reserves, the Companys policy is to not include calculations that exceed certain
depths, so for deposits, such as granite, that typically continue to depths well below the ground,
there may be additional deposits that are not included in the reserve calculations. The Company
also deducts reserves not available due to property boundaries, set-backs, and plant
configurations, as deemed appropriate when estimating reserves. For additional information on the
Companys assessment of reserves, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations Other Financial Information Application of Critical Accounting
Policies Property, Plant and Equipment on pages 73 and 74 of the 2006 Annual Report for
discussion of reserves evaluation by the Company.
Set forth in the tables below are the Companys estimates of reserves of recoverable
aggregates of suitable quality for economic extraction, shown on a state-by-state basis, and the
Companys total annual production for the last 3 years, along with the Companys estimate of years
of production available, shown on a segment-by-segment basis. The number of producing quarries
shown on the table include underground mines. The Companys reserve estimates for the last 2 years
are shown for comparison purposes on a state-by-state basis. The changes in reserve estimates at a
particular state level from year to year reflect the tonnages of reserves on locations that have
been opened or closed during the year, whether by acquisition, disposition, or otherwise;
production and sales in the normal course of business; additional reserve estimates or refinements
of the Companys existing reserve estimates; opening of additional reserves at existing locations;
the depletion of reserves at existing locations; and other factors. The Company evaluates its
reserve estimates primarily on a Company-wide, or segment-by-segment basis, and does not believe
comparisons of changes in reserve estimates on a state-by-state basis from year to year are
particularly meaningful.

Specialty Products Business
The Magnesia Specialties business currently operates major manufacturing facilities in
Manistee, Michigan, and Woodville, Ohio, and a smaller processing plant in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
All of these facilities are owned.
The Company leases a 185,000 square foot facility in Sparta, North Carolina, which serves as
the assembly and manufacturing hub for the structural composites product line of Martin Marietta
Composites.
Other Properties
The Companys principal corporate office, which it owns, is located in Raleigh, North
Carolina. The Company owns and leases various administrative offices for its four reportable
business segments.
The Companys principal properties, which are of varying ages and are of different
construction types, are believed to be generally in good condition, are generally well maintained,
and are generally suitable and adequate for the purposes for which they are used. During 2006, the
principal properties were believed to be utilized at average productive capacities of approximately
80% and were capable of supporting a higher level of market demand.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time claims of various types are asserted against the Company arising out of its
operations in the normal course of business, including claims relating to land use and permits,
safety, health, and environmental matters (such as noise abatement, blasting, vibrations, air
emissions, and water discharges). Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and it is not
possible to determine the probable outcome of, or the amount of liability, if any, from, these
matters. In the opinion of management of the Company (which opinion is based in part upon
consideration of the opinion of
27
counsel), it is unlikely that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect on
the Companys operations or its financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that an
adverse outcome in any of such litigation would not have a material adverse effect on the Company
or its operating segments.
The Company was not required to pay any penalties in 2006 for failure to disclose certain
reportable transactions under Section 6707A of the Internal Revenue Code.
See also Note N: Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Financial Statements on
pages 36 and 37 of the 2006 Annual Report and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Environmental Regulation and Litigation on pages 59 and 60
of the 2006 Annual Report.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of 2006.

ITEM 9. |
|
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE |
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of December 31, 2006, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the
participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief
Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures and the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Based on that evaluation, the Companys management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that all material
information required to be disclosed is made known to them in a timely manner as of December 31,
2006 and further concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting was
effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
the preparation of the Companys financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles as of December 31, 2006.
The Companys management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Companys
control system will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of
the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that
there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their
costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the
Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of
two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls
also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can
be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent
limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
not be detected.
The Companys management has issued its annual report on the Companys internal control over
financial reporting, which included managements assessment that the Companys internal control
over financial reporting was effective at December 31, 2006. The Companys independent registered
31
public accounting firm has issued an attestation report agreeing with managements assessment that
the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective at December 31, 2006.
Managements report on the Companys internal controls and the related attestation report of the
Companys independent registered public accounting firm appear on pages 10 and 11 of the 2006
Annual Report, and those reports are hereby incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K. See also
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Internal
Control and Accounting and Reporting Risk on page 62 of the 2006 Annual Report.
Included among the Exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K are forms of Certifications
of the Companys CEO and CFO as required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 (the Section 302 Certification). The Section 302 Certifications refer to this evaluation
of the Companys disclosure policies and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
The information in this section should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications
for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

Shareholders
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.
The management of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., is responsible for the consolidated
financial statements, the related financial information contained in this 2006 Annual Report and
the establishment and maintenance of adequate internal control over financial reporting. The
consolidated balance sheets for Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., at December 31, 2006 and 2005,
and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, include amounts based on estimates and
judgments and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States applied on a consistent basis.
A system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance,
in a cost-effective manner, that assets are safeguarded, transactions are executed and recorded in
accordance with managements authorization, accountability for assets is maintained and financial
statements are prepared and presented fairly in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. Internal control systems over financial reporting have inherent
limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined
to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and presentation.
The Corporation operates in an environment that establishes an appropriate system of internal
control over financial reporting and ensures that the system is maintained, assessed and monitored
on a periodic basis. This internal control system includes examinations by internal audit staff
and oversight by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
The Corporations management recognizes its responsibility to foster a strong ethical climate.
Management has issued written policy statements that document the Corporations business code of
ethics. The importance of ethical behavior is regularly communicated to all employees through the
distribution of the Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct booklet and through ongoing education
and review programs designed to create a strong commitment to ethical business practices.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of four independent, nonemployee
directors, meets periodically and separately with management, the independent auditors and the
internal auditors to review the activities of each. The Audit Committee meets standards
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange as they
relate to the composition and practices of audit committees.
Management of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., assessed the effectiveness of the Corporations
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment,
management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on managements
assessment under the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework, management concluded
that the Corporations internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31,
2006.
The consolidated financial statements and managements assertion regarding its assessment of
internal control over financial reporting have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent
registered public accounting firm, whose reports appear on the following pages.

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.
We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Statement of Financial
Responsibility, that Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(the COSO criteria). Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.s management is responsible for maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over
financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the
design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, managements assessment that Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., maintained effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all
material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Martin Marietta Materials,
Inc., maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of
earnings, shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2006, of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., and subsidiaries and our report dated
February 26, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Board of Directors and Shareholders
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Martin Marietta Materials,
Inc., and subsidiaries at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of
earnings, shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporations
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., and subsidiaries
at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, in 2006 the Corporation adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment; Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other
Postretirement Plans; and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 04-06, Accounting for Stripping Costs in
the Mining Industry.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the effectiveness of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.s internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission and our report dated February 26, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion
thereon.

N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S
Note A: Accounting Policies
Organization. Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., (the Corporation) is engaged principally in the
construction aggregates business. The Corporations aggregates products, which include crushed
stone, sand and gravel, are used primarily for construction of highways and other infrastructure
projects, and in the domestic commercial and residential construction industries. Certain other
aggregates products are used in the agricultural industry. These aggregates products, along with
asphalt products and ready mixed concrete, are sold and shipped from a network of 307 quarries,
distribution facilities and plants to customers in 31 states, Canada, the Bahamas and the Caribbean
Islands. North Carolina, Texas, Georgia, Iowa and South Carolina account for approximately 58% of
the Aggregates business 2006 net sales. The Aggregates business contains the following reportable
segments: Mideast Group, Southeast Group and West Group. The Mideast Group operates primarily in
Indiana, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia. The Southeast Group has
operations in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Nova Scotia and the Bahamas. The West Group operates in Arkansas, California,
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin and
Wyoming.
In addition to the Aggregates business, the Corporation has a Specialty Products segment that
produces magnesia-based chemicals products used in industrial, agricultural and environmental
applications; dolomitic lime sold primarily to customers in the steel industry; and structural
composite products.
Basis of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Corporation and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Partially owned affiliates are
either consolidated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or accounted for at cost or as equity investments
depending on the level of ownership interest or the Corporations ability to exercise control over
the affiliates operations. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
The Corporation is a minority member of a limited liability company whereby the majority member is
paid a preferred annual return. The Corporation has the ability to redeem the majority members
interest after the lapse of a specified number of years. The Corporation consolidates the limited
liability company in its consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the Corporations consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management
to make certain estimates and assumptions. Such judgments affect the reported amounts in the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Revenue Recognition. Revenues for product sales are recognized when finished products are shipped
to unaffiliated customers. Revenues derived from the road paving business are recognized using the
percentage completion method. Total revenues include sales of materials and services provided to
customers, net of discounts or allowances, if any, and include freight and delivery charges billed
to customers.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid instruments with
original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. Additionally, at December
31, 2005, cash of $878,000 was held in an unrestricted escrow account on behalf of the Corporation
and was reported in other noncurrent assets.
Investments.
At December 31, 2005, investments were comprised of variable rate demand notes. These
available-for-sale securities were carried at fair value. While the contractual maturity for each
of the Corporations variable rate demand notes exceeded ten years, these securities represented
investments of cash available for current operations. Therefore, in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities, these securities were classified as current assets in the 2005 consolidated balance
sheet. During 2006, the Corporation sold the investments at their par values and, accordingly, did
not recognize a gain or loss related to the sale.

N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
Customer Receivables. Customer receivables are stated at cost. The Corporation does not
charge interest on customer accounts receivable. The Corporation records an allowance for doubtful
accounts, which includes a general reserve based on historical write offs and a specific reserve
for accounts greater than $50,000 deemed at risk.
Inventories Valuation. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for finished
products and in process inventories is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Notes Receivable. Notes receivable are stated at cost. The Corporation records an allowance for
notes receivable deemed uncollectible. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the allowance for
uncollectible notes receivable was $853,000 and $795,000, respectively.
Properties and Depreciation. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The estimated
service lives for property, plant and equipment are as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Class of Assets |
|
Range of Service
Lives |
|
Buildings |
|
|
1 to 50 years |
|
Machinery & Equipment |
|
|
1 to 35 years |
|
Land Improvements |
|
|
1 to 30 years |
|
The Corporation begins capitalizing quarry development costs at a point when reserves are
determined to be proven and probable, when economically mineable by the Corporations geological
and operational staff, and when demand supports investment in the market. Quarry development costs
are classified as mineral reserves.
Mineral reserves are valued at the present value of royalty payments, using a prevailing market
royalty rate that would have been incurred if the Corporation had leased the reserves as opposed to
fee-ownership for the life of the reserves, not to exceed twenty years.
Depreciation is computed over estimated service lives, principally by the straight-line method.
Depletion of mineral deposits is calculated over proven and probable reserves by the
units-of-production method on a quarry-by-quarry basis. Amortization of assets recorded under
capital leases is computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the life of the lease
or the assets useful lives.
Repair and Maintenance Costs. Repair and maintenance costs that do not substantially extend the
life of the Corporations plant and equipment are expensed as incurred.
Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid for acquired businesses over
the estimated fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities. The carrying value of goodwill is
reviewed annually, as of October 1, for impairment in accordance with the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS 142). An
interim review is performed between annual tests if facts or circumstances indicate potential
impairment. If an impairment review indicates that the carrying value is impaired, a charge is
recorded.
The Corporations reporting units, which represent the level at which goodwill is tested for
impairment under FAS 142, are based on its geographic regions. Goodwill is allocated to the
reporting units based on the location of acquisitions and divestitures at the time of
consummation.
In accordance with FAS 142, leased mineral rights acquired in a business combination that have a
royalty rate less than a prevailing market rate are recognized as other intangible assets. The
leased mineral rights are valued at the present value of the difference between the market royalty
rate and the contractual royalty rate over the lesser of the life of the lease, not to exceed
thirty years, or the amount of mineable reserves.
Other intangibles represent amounts assigned principally to contractual agreements and are
amortized ratably over periods based on related contractual terms. The carrying value of other
intangibles is reviewed if facts and circumstances indicate potential impairment. If this review
determines that the carrying value is impaired, a charge is recorded.
Derivatives. The Corporation records derivative instruments at fair value on its consolidated
balance sheet. At December 31, 2006, the Corporations derivatives were forward starting interest
rate swaps, which represent cash flow hedges. The Corporations objective for holding these
derivatives is to lock in the interest rate related to a por-
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries page eighteen
N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
tion of the Corporations anticipated refinancing of Notes due in 2008. In accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities (FAS 133), the fair values of these hedges are recorded as other
noncurrent assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and changes in the fair value
are recorded net of tax directly in shareholders equity as other comprehensive earnings or loss.
The changes in fair value recorded as other comprehensive earnings or loss will be reclassified to
earnings in the same periods as interest expense is incurred on the anticipated debt issuance. At
December 31, 2005, the Corporation did not hold any derivative instruments.
Retirement Plans and Postretirement Benefits. The Corporation sponsors defined benefit retirement
plans and provides other postretirement benefits. The Corporations defined benefit retirement
plans comply with the following principal standards: the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended (ERISA), which, in conjunction with the Internal Revenue Code, determines legal
minimum and maximum deductible funding requirements; and Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. FAS 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions (FAS 87), which specifies that certain
key actuarial assumptions be adjusted annually to reflect current, rather than long-term, trends in
the economy. The Corporations other postretirement benefits comply with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions
(FAS 106), which requires the cost of providing post-retirement benefits to be recognized over an
employees service period. Further, the Corporations defined benefit retirement plans and other
postretirement benefits comply with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132(R),
Employers Disclosures About Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits (FAS 132(R)), as revised,
which establishes rules for financial reporting.
On December 31, 2006, the Corporation adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FAS 87, 88, 106 and 132(R) (FAS 158). FAS
158 required the Corporation to recognize the funded
status, defined as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation,
of its pension plans and other postretirement benefits as an asset or liability in the December 31,
2006 consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive
earnings or loss, net of tax. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive earnings or loss at
adoption represents the net unrecognized actuarial gains or losses, any unrecognized prior service
costs and any unrecognized transition obligations remaining from the initial adoption of FAS 87 and
FAS 106, all of which were previously netted against a plans funded status in the Corporations
consolidated balance sheet pursuant to the provisions of FAS 87 and FAS 106. These amounts will be
subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to the Corporations
historical accounting policy for amortizing such amounts. Further, actuarial gains or losses that
arise in subsequent periods are not recognized as net periodic benefit cost in the same periods,
but rather will be recognized as a component of other comprehensive earnings or loss. Those amounts
will be subsequently recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. Finally, FAS 158
requires an employer to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the
employers balance sheet. The measurement date requirement is effective for fiscal years ending
after December 15, 2008. The Corporation currently uses an annual measurement date of November 30.
The adoption of FAS 158 had no impact on the Corporations consolidated statements of earnings or
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2006 or for any prior periods presented and will not
affect the Corporations operating results in future periods. The incremental effects of adopting
the recognition and disclosure provisions of FAS 158 on the Corporations consolidated balance
sheet at December 31, 2006 are presented in the following table. Prior to adopting FAS 158 at
December 31, 2006, the Corporation recognized an additional minimum pension liability pursuant to
the provisions of FAS 87. The effect of recognizing this additional minimum pension liability is
included in the table below in the column labeled Prior to Adopting FAS 158.

In addition to changes in the fair value of forward starting swap agreements and foreign
currency translation adjustments, accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2006
included the following amounts that have not yet been recognized in net periodic benefit costs
related to the Corporations pension plans: unrecognized transition asset of $17,000 ($11,000 net
of tax); unrecognized prior service costs of $5,606,000 ($3,389,000 net of tax) and unrecognized
actuarial losses of $63,836,000 ($38,589,000 net of tax). Further, accumulated other comprehensive
loss at December 31, 2006 included the following amounts for the Corporations other postretirement
benefits that have not yet been recognized in net periodic benefit costs: unrecognized prior
service credit of $11,030,000 ($6,668,000 net of tax) and unrecognized actuarial losses of
$3,295,000 ($1,992,000 net of tax).
Stock-Based Compensation. The Corporation has stock-based compensation plans for employees and
directors. Effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R)) to account for these plans.
FAS 123(R) requires all forms of share-based payments to employees, including stock options, to be
recognized as compensation expense. The compensation expense is the fair value of the awards at the
measurement date. Further, FAS 123(R) requires compensation cost to be recognized over the
requisite service period for all awards granted subsequent to adoption. As required by FAS 123(R),
the Corporation will continue to recognize compensation cost over the explicit vesting period for
all unvested awards as of January 1, 2006, with acceleration for any remaining unrecognized
compensation cost if an employee retires prior to the end of the vesting period.
The Corporation adopted the provisions of FAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition
method, which recognizes stock option awards as compensation expense for unvested awards as of
January 1, 2006 and awards granted or modified subsequent to that date. In accordance with the
modified prospective transition method, the Corporations consolidated statements of earnings and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 have not been restated and do not
include the impact of FAS 123(R).
Under FAS 123(R), an entity may elect either the accelerated expense recognition method or a
straight-line recognition method for awards subject to graded vesting based on a service condition.
The Corporation elected to use the accelerated expense recognition method for stock options issued
to employees. The accelerated recognition method requires stock options that vest ratably to be
divided into tranches. The expense for each tranche is allocated to its particular vesting period.
The adoption of FAS 123(R) did not change the Corporations accounting for stock-based
compensation related to restricted stock awards, incentive compensation awards and directors fees
paid in the form of common stock. The Corporation continues to expense the fair value of these
awards based on the closing price of the Corporations common stock on the awards respective
grant dates.
The adoption of FAS 123(R) resulted in the recognition of compensation expense for stock options
granted by the Corporation. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Corporation recognized
$3,201,000 of compensation expense for the May 2006 grant of 168,393 stock options (141,393 to
employees and 27,000 to directors). Of this amount, $885,000 related to directors options that
were expensed at the grant date as the options vested immediately. The remaining options are being
expensed over their requisite service periods. With the current forfeiture rate assumptions, total
stock-based compensation expense to be recognized for the May 2006 option grant is $5,397,000, of
which $2,196,000 has yet to be recognized as of December 31, 2006.

Furthermore, FAS 123(R) requires tax benefits attributable to stock-based compensation
transactions to be classified as financing cash flows. Prior to the adoption of FAS 123(R), the
Corporation presented excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation transactions as an
operating cash flow on its consolidated statements of cash flows. The $17,467,000 excess tax
benefit classified as a financing cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2006 would have been
classified as an operating cash inflow had the Corporation not adopted FAS 123(R).
In connection with the adoption of FAS 123(R), the Corporation reclassified $12,339,000 of
stock-based compensation liabilities to additional paid-in-capital, thereby increasing
shareholders equity at January 1, 2006.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Corporation accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under
the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees and Related Interpretations. As the Corporation granted stock options with an exercise
price equal to the market value of the stock on the date of grant, no compensation cost for stock
options granted was recognized in net earnings as reported in the consolidated statements of
earnings prior to adopting FAS 123(R). The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings
and earnings per share if the Corporation had applied the fair value recognition provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation:

The Corporation used the lattice valuation model to determine the fair value of stock option
awards granted under the Corporations stock-based compensation plans. The lattice valuation model
takes into account employees exercise patterns based on changes in the Corporations stock price
and other variables and is considered to result in a more accurate valuation of employee stock
options. The period of time for which options are expected to be outstanding, or expected term of
the option, is a derived output of the lattice valuation model. The Corporation considers the
following factors when estimating the expected term of options: vesting period of the award,
expected volatility of the underlying stock, employees ages and external data. Other key
assumptions used in determining the fair value of the stock options awarded in 2006, 2005 and 2004
were:

Based on these assumptions, the weighted-average fair value of each stock option granted was
$33.21, $18.72 and $11.00 for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The risk-free interest rate reflects the interest rate on zero-coupon U.S. government bonds
available at the time each option was granted having a remaining life approximately equal to the
options expected life. The
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries page twenty-one
N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
dividend yield represents the dividend rate expected to be paid over the options
expected life and is based on the Corporations historical dividend payments and targeted dividend
pattern. The Corporations volatility factor measures the amount by which its stock price is
expected to fluctuate during the expected life of the option and is based on historical stock price
changes. Additionally, FAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and
revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The
Corporation estimated forfeitures and will ultimately recognize compensation cost only for those
stock-based awards that vest.
Environmental Matters. The Corporation accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
(FAS 143) and Related Interpretations. In accordance with FAS 143, a liability for an asset
retirement obligation is recorded at fair value in the period in which it is incurred. The asset
retirement obligation is recorded at the acquisition date of a long-lived tangible asset if the
fair value can be reasonably estimated. A corresponding amount is capitalized as part of the
assets carrying amount.
Further, the Corporation records an accrual for other environmental remediation liabilities in the
period in which it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the appropriate amounts can
be estimated reasonably. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or
circumstances change. These costs are not discounted to their present value or offset for potential
insurance or other claims or potential gains from future alternative uses for a site.
Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets
reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, net of
valuation allowances.
Sales Taxes. Sales taxes collected from customers are recorded as liabilities until remitted to
taxing authorities and, therefore, are not reflected in the consolidated statements of earnings.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are charged to operations as
incurred.
Start-Up Costs. Preoperating costs and noncapital start-up costs for new facilities and products
are charged to operations as incurred.
Comprehensive Earnings. Comprehensive earnings for the Corporation consist of net earnings, foreign
currency translation adjustments, changes in the fair value of forward starting interest rate swap
agreements and adjustments to the minimum pension liability.
The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss consist of the following at December 31:

FAS 158 reclassifications represent unrecognized actuarial losses, prior service costs and
transition assets for the adoption of FAS 158. The FAS 158 reclassifications and changes in fair
value of forward starting interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 2006 are net of noncurrent
deferred tax assets of $24,399,000 and $772,000, respectively. The minimum pension liability at
December 31, 2005 and 2004 is net of deferred tax assets of $10,027,000 and $5,869,000,
respectively.
Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed
assuming that the weighted-average number of common shares is increased by the conversion, using
the treasury stock method, of awards to be issued to employees and nonemployee members of the
Corporations Board of Directors under certain stock-based compensation arrangements. The diluted
per-share computations reflect a change in the number of common shares outstanding (the
denominator) to include
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries page twenty-two
N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially
dilutive common shares had been issued. For each year presented in the Corporations consolidated
statements of earnings, the net earnings available to common shareholders (the numerator) is the
same for both basic and dilutive per-share computations.
Accounting Changes. Effective January 1, 2006, the Corporation adopted Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue 04-06, Accounting for Stripping Costs in the Mining Industry (EITF 04-06). EITF 04-06
clarifies that post-production stripping costs, which represent costs of removing overburden and
waste materials to access mineral deposits, should be considered costs of the extracted minerals
under a full absorption costing system and recorded as a component of inventory to be recognized
in costs of sales in the same period as the revenue from the sale of the inventory. Prior to the
adoption of EITF 04-06, the Corporation capitalized certain post-production stripping costs and
amortized these costs over the lesser of half of the life of the uncovered reserve or 5 years. In
connection with the adoption of EITF 04-06, the Corporation wrote off $8,148,000 of capitalized
post-production stripping costs previously reported as other noncurrent assets and a related
deferred tax liability of $3,219,000, thereby reducing retained earnings by approximately
$4,929,000 at January 1, 2006.
The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, Inventory Costs, an
amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (FAS 151), on January 1, 2006. The amendments made by FAS 151
clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted
materials should be recognized as current-period charges and require the allocation of fixed
production overhead to inventory to be based on the normal capacity of the underlying production
facilities. The adoption of FAS 151 did not impact the Corporations net earnings or financial
position.
In September 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission published Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in
Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides guidance on quantifying and
evaluating the materiality of unrecorded
misstatements. For corrections of errors that were properly determined to be immaterial prior to
its adoption, SAB 108 permits an entity to record the correcting amount as an adjustment to the
opening balance of assets and liabilities, with an offsetting cumulative effect adjustment to
retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption. The Corporation adopted SAB 108 for
the year ended December 31, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not impact the Corporations
financial position.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions, an
Interpretation of FAS 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the criteria for recognition and measurement
of benefits from uncertain tax positions. Under FIN 48, an entity should recognize a tax benefit
when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the position would be
sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. The amount to be recognized should be measured as
the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon
ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
Furthermore, any change in the recognition, derecognition or measurement of a tax position should
be recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs. FIN 48 is effective January 1, 2007
for the Corporation, and any change in net assets as a result of applying the Interpretation will
be recognized as an adjustment to retained earnings at that date. Management is in the process of
evaluating its uncertain tax positions in accordance with FIN 48 and, at this time, believes that
the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporations financial
position.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (FAS 157). FAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally
accepted accounting principles, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework and
expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 applies to all accounting
pronouncements that require fair value measurements, except for the measurement of share-based
payments. FAS 157 is effective January 1, 2008 for the Corporation. The Corporation
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries page twenty-three
N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
does not expect the adoption of FAS 157 to materially change its current practice of
measuring fair value.
In June 2005, the FASB issued Exposure Draft, Business Combinations, a Replacement of FAS No.
141. In its current form, the exposure draft requires recognizing the full fair value of all
assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling minority interests in acquisitions of less
than a 100% controlling interest; expensing all acquisition-related transaction and restructuring
costs; capitalizing in-process research and development assets acquired; and recognizing contingent
consideration obligations and contingent gains acquired and contingent losses assumed. The FASB has
indicated that it expects to issue a final standard during 2007 to be applied prospectively to all
business combinations with acquisition dates on or after the effective date, which is still being
deliberated.
Reclassifications. Certain 2005 and 2004 amounts included on the consolidated statements of cash
flows have been reclassed to conform to the 2006 presentation. The reclassifications had no impact
on previously reported net cash provided by or used for operating, investing and financing
activities.

During 2006, the Corporation did not acquire any additional intangible assets. The
Corporation acquired $5,396,000 of equipment use rights during 2005, which are subject to
amortization. The weighted-average amortization period for these use rights is 12.8 years in 2005.
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Corporation had water use rights of $200,000 that are deemed to
have an indefinite life and are not being amortized.
During 2006, the Corporation wrote off a licensing agreement related to the structural composites
product line, as the asset had no future use to the Corporation. The write off, which was included
in cost of sales on the consolidated statement of earnings, reduced net earnings by approximately
$460,000, or $0.01 per diluted share.

Note C: Business Combinations and Divestitures
Effective January 1, 2005, the Corporation formed a joint venture with Hunt Midwest Enterprises
(Hunt Midwest) to operate substantially all of the aggregates facilities of both companies in
Kansas City and surrounding areas. The joint venture company, Hunt Martin Materials LLC, is 50%
owned by each party. The Corporation consolidated the financial statements of the joint venture
effective January 1, 2005 and includes minority interest for the net assets attributable to Hunt
Midwest in other noncurrent liabilities. In the Corporations consolidated financial statements,
the assets contributed by Hunt Midwest were recorded at their fair value on the date of
contribution to the joint venture, while assets contributed by the Corporation continued to be
recorded at historical cost. The terms of the joint venture agreement provide that the Corporation
will operate as the managing partner and receive a management fee based on tons sold. Additionally,
pursuant to the joint venture agreement, the Corporation has provided a $7,000,000 revolving credit
facility for working capital purposes and a term loan that provides up to $26,000,000 for a capital
project. Any outstanding borrowings under these agreements are eliminated in the Corporations
consolidated financial statements. The joint venture has a term of fifty years with certain
purchase rights provided to the Corporation and Hunt Midwest.
In 2006, the Corporation disposed of or permanently shut down various underperforming operations in
the following markets:

On October 29, 2004, the Corporation divested certain asphalt plants in the Houston, Texas
area. In connection with the divestiture, the Corporation entered into a supply agreement to sell
aggregates to the buyer at market rates. The divestiture is included in continuing operations
because of the Corporations continuing financial interest in the Houston asphalt market.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the unamortized value of terminated interest rate swaps was
$4,469,000 and $6,640,000, respectively, and was included in the carrying values of the Notes due
in 2008. The accretion of the unamortized value of terminated swaps will decrease annual interest
expense by approximately $2,200,000 until the maturity of the Notes in 2008.
In September 2006, the Corporation entered into two forward starting interest rate swap agreements
(the Swap Agreements) with a total notional amount of
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries page twenty-six
N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
$150,000,000. Each of the two Swap Agreements covers $75,000,000 of principal. The Swap
Agreements locked in at 5.42% the interest rate relative to LIBOR related to $150,000,000 of the
Corporations anticipated refinancing of its $200,000,000 5.875% Notes due in 2008. Each of the
Swap Agreements provides for a single payment at its mandatory termination date, December 1, 2008.
If the LIBOR swap rate increases above 5.42% at the mandatory termination date, the Corporation
will receive a payment from each of the counterparties based on the notional amount of each
agreement over an assumed 10-year period. If the LIBOR swap rate falls below 5.42% at the mandatory
termination date, the Corporation will be obligated to make a payment to each of the counterparties
on the same basis. In accordance with FAS 133, the fair values of the Swap Agreements are recorded
as an asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The change in fair value is recorded
net of tax directly in shareholders equity as other comprehensive earnings/loss. At December 31,
2006, the fair value of the Swap Agreements was a liability of $1,951,000 and was included in other
noncurrent liabilities in the Corporations consolidated balance sheet with a corresponding loss of
$1,179,000, net of a deferred tax asset of $772,000, recorded in other comprehensive earnings/loss.
The Corporation has a $250,000,000 five-year revolving credit agreement (the Credit Agreement),
which is syndicated with a group of domestic and foreign commercial banks. In June 2006, the
Corporation extended the expiration date of the Credit Agreement by one year to June 30, 2011.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are unsecured and bear interest, at the Corporations
options, at rates based upon: (1) the Eurodollar rate (as defined on the basis of LIBOR) plus basis
points related to a pricing grid; (ii) a bank base rate (as defined on the basis of a published
prime rate or the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1%); or (iii) a competitively determined rate (as
defined on the basis of a bidding process). The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants
relating to the Corporations debt-to-capitalization ratio, requirements for limitations on
encumbrances and provisions that relate to certain changes in control. Available borrowings under
the Credit Agreement are reduced by any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Corporation
under the Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2006, the Corporation had
$1,650,000 of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement. No outstanding
letters of credit were issued under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2005. The Corporation pays
an annual loan commitment fee to the bank group. No borrowings were outstanding under the Credit
Agreement at December 31, 2006 and 2005.
The Credit Agreement supports a $250,000,000 commercial paper program. No borrowings were
outstanding under the commercial paper program at December 31, 2006 or 2005.
At December 31, 2006, $537,000 was outstanding under a $10,000,000 line of credit. No borrowings
were outstanding under the line of credit at December 31, 2005.
Excluding the unamortized value of the terminated interest rate swaps, the Corporations long-term
debt maturities for the five years following December 31, 2006, and thereafter are:

Note H: Financial Instruments
In addition to publicly registered long-term notes and debentures and the Swap Agreements, the
Corporations financial instruments include temporary cash investments, investments, accounts
receivable, notes receivable, bank overdraft and other long-term debt.
Temporary cash investments are placed with creditworthy financial institutions, primarily in money
market funds and Euro-time deposits. The Corporations cash equivalents have maturities of less
than three months. Due to the short maturity of these investments, they are carried on the
consolidated balance sheets at cost, which approximates fair value.
The Corporation did not hold any investments at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2005,
investments were comprised of variable rate demand notes and were remarketed
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries page twenty-seven
N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
with creditworthy financial institutions. As these available-for-sale securities were
redeemable with 7-day written notice, their estimated fair values approximated their carrying
amounts.
Customer receivables are due from a large number of customers, primarily in the construction
industry, and are dispersed across wide geographic and economic regions. However, customer
receivables are more heavily concentrated in certain states (see Note A). The estimated fair values
of customer receivables approximate their carrying amounts.
Notes receivable are primarily related to divestitures and are not publicly traded. However, using
current market interest rates, but excluding adjustments for credit worthiness, if any, management
estimates that the fair value of notes receivable approximates its carrying amount. At December 31,
2005, the Corporation had a note receivable related to one divestiture with a carrying value of
$12,507,000. The Corporation received full repayment of the note in 2006.
The bank overdraft represents the float of outstanding checks. The estimated fair value of the bank
overdraft approximates its carrying value.
The estimated fair value of the Corporations publicly registered long-term notes and debentures at
December 31, 2006 was approximately $722,219,000, compared with a carrying amount of $698,891,000
on the consolidated balance sheet. The estimated fair value and carrying amount exclude the impact
of interest rate swaps. The fair value of this long-term debt was estimated based on quoted market
prices. The estimated fair value of other borrowings of $1,904,000 at December 31, 2006
approximates its carrying amount.
The carrying values and fair values of the Corporations financial instruments at December 31 are

For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, income tax benefits attributable to
stock-based compensation transactions that were recorded to shareholders equity amounted to
$24,112,000, $15,337,000 and $1,045,000, respectively.
The Corporations effective income tax rate on continuing operations varied from the statutory
United States income tax rate because of the following permanent tax differences:

Additionally, the Corporation had a net deferred tax asset of $25,171,000 for certain items
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2006 and a deferred tax asset of
$10,027,000 related to its minimum pension liability at December 31, 2005.
Deferred tax liabilities for property, plant and equipment result from accelerated depreciation
methods being used for income tax purposes as compared with the straight-line method for financial
reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangibles reflect the cessation of
goodwill amortization for financial reporting purposes pursuant to FAS 142, while amortization
continues for income tax purposes.
Deferred tax assets for employee benefits result from the timing differences of the deductions for
pension and postretirement obligations. For financial reporting purposes, such amounts are expensed
in accordance with FAS 87. For income tax purposes, such amounts are deductible as funded.
The Corporation had net operating loss carryforwards of $112,720,000 and $112,803,000 at December
31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These losses have various expiration dates. At December 31, 2006
and 2005, respectively, the deferred tax assets associated with these losses were $7,195,000 and
$6,910,000, for which valuation allowances of $6,821,000 and $6,323,000 were recorded.
The Internal Revenue Service began an audit of the Corporations consolidated federal tax
returns for the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 during the fourth quarter of 2006. The Corporation has
established $9,169,000 and $10,350,000 of reserves for taxes at December 31, 2006 and 2005,
respectively, that may become payable as a result of such examinations by tax authorities. The
reserves, which are included in current income taxes payable on the consolidated balance sheets,
primarily relate to federal tax treatment of percentage depletion deductions, legal entity
transaction structuring, transfer pricing, state tax treatment of federal bonus depreciation
deductions and executive compensation. The reserves are calculated based on probable exposures to
additional tax payments to federal and state tax authorities. Tax reserves are reversed as a
discrete event if an examination of applicable tax returns is not begun by a federal or state tax
authority within the statute of limitations or upon completion of an audit by federal or state tax
authorities. Management believes these reserves are sufficient to cover any uncertain tax positions
reviewed during any audit by taxing authorities.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, reserves of $2,700,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, were
reversed into income when the statute of limitations for federal examination of the 2002 tax year
expired. For the year ended December 31, 2005, reserves of $5,900,000, or $0.12 per diluted share,
were reversed into income when the statute of limitations for federal examination of the 2001 tax
year expired.
In June 2005, the state of Ohio enacted tax reform legislation (the Ohio Tax Act) that reduces
state taxes paid by the Corporation related to its Ohio operations. The Ohio Tax Act phases out the
income/franchise tax over a five-year period that commenced in 2005. Over this same period, the
Ohio Tax Act phases in a new commercial activities tax levied on gross receipts. Other provisions
of the Ohio Tax Act that impact the Corporation are the elimination of personal property tax for
certain new manufacturing equipment purchased after 2004 and the phase-out of personal property tax
on existing manufacturing equipment and inventory over a four-year period that commenced in 2005.
The signing of the Ohio Tax Act represented a change in tax law. In accordance with FAS 109, the
effect of the law change should be reflected in earnings in the period that included the date of
enact-
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries page twenty-nine
N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
ment. Accordingly, the Corporation repriced its Ohio-related deferred tax liabilities to
reflect the income tax changes. The estimated impact of the Ohio Tax Act on the Corporations taxes
for the year ended December 31, 2005 resulted in an increase to net earnings of $1,202,000, or
$0.02 per diluted share.
The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) created a new tax deduction related to income
from domestic (i.e., United States) production activities. This provision, when fully phased in,
will permit a deduction equal to 9 percent of a companys Qualified Production Activities Income
(QPAI) or its taxable income, whichever is lower. The deduction is further limited to the lower
of 50% of the W-2 wages paid by the Corporation during the year. QPAI includes, among other things,
income from domestic manufacture, production, growth or extraction of tangible personal property.
For 2005 and 2006, the deduction is equal to 3 percent of QPAI, increasing to 6 percent for 2007
through 2009, and reaching the full 9 percent deduction in 2010. The production deduction benefit
of the legislation reduced income tax expense and increased net
earnings by $2,263,000, or $0.05
per diluted share, in 2006 and $2,300,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, in 2005.
Note J: Retirement Plans, Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits
The Corporation sponsors defined benefit retirement plans that cover substantially all employees.
Additionally, the Corporation provides other postretirement benefits for certain employees,
including medical benefits for retirees and their spouses, Medicare Part B reimbursement
and retiree life insurance. The Corporation also provides certain benefits to former or inactive
employees after employment but before retirement, such as workers compensation and disability
benefits.
The measurement date for the Corporations defined benefit plans, postretirement benefit plans and
postemployment benefit plans is November 30.
Defined Benefit Retirement Plans. The assets of the Corporations retirement plans are held in the
Corporations Master Retirement Trust and are invested in listed stocks, bonds and cash
equivalents. Defined retirement benefits for salaried employees are based on each employees years
of service and average compensation for a specified
period of time before retirement. Defined retirement benefits for hourly employees are generally
stated amounts for specified periods of service.
The Corporation sponsors a Supplemental Excess Retirement Plan (SERP) that generally provides for
the payment of retirement benefits in excess of allowable Internal Revenue Code limits. The SERP
generally provides for a lump sum payment of vested benefits provided by the SERP.
The net periodic retirement benefit cost of defined benefit plans included the following

The Corporations investment strategy for pension plan assets is for approximately two-thirds of
the equity investments to be invested in large capitalization funds. The remaining third of the
equity investments is invested in small capitalization and international funds. Fixed income
investments are invested in funds with the objective of exceeding the return of the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.
The Corporation made voluntary contributions of $12,175,000 and $15,304,000 to its pension plan in
2006 and 2005, respectively. The Corporations estimate of contributions to its pension and SERP
plans in 2007 is approximately $14,100,000, of which $12,000,000 is voluntary.

In accordance with the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003,
the Corporation began receiving a non-taxable subsidy from the federal government in 2006 as the
Corporation sponsors prescription drug benefits to retirees that are actuarially equivalent to
the Medicare benefit. The Corporations postretirement health care plans benefit obligation
reflects the effect of the federal subsidy.

employees. These plans, intended to be qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, are retirement
savings and investment plans for the Corporations
salaried and hourly employees. Under certain provisions
of these plans, the Corporation, at established
rates, matches employees eligible contributions. The

Note K: Stock-Based Compensation
The shareholders approved, on May 23, 2006 the Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. Stock-Based Award
Plan, as amended from time to time (along with the Amended Omnibus Securities Award Plan,
originally approved in 1994, the Plans). The Corporation has been authorized by the Board of
Directors to repurchase shares of the Corporations common stock for issuance under the Plans.
Under the Plans, the Corporation grants options to employees to purchase its common stock at a
price equal to the closing market value at the date of grant. The Corporation granted 141,393
employee stock options during 2006. Options granted in 2006 and 2005 become exercisable in four
annual installments beginning one year after date of grant and expire eight years from such date.
Options granted in years prior to 2005 become exercisable in three equal annual installments
beginning one year after date of grant and expire ten years from such date.
The Plans provide that each nonemployee director receives 3,000 non-qualified stock options
annually. During 2006, the Corporation granted 27,000 options to nonemployee directors. These
options have an exercise price equal to the market value at the date of grant, vest immediately and
expire ten years from the grant date.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during 2006, 2005 and
2004 was $89.02, $61.06 and $42.38, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic values of options
exercised during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $58,960,000, $35,912,000 and
$2,391,000, respectively, and were based on the closing prices of the Corporations common stock
on the dates of exercise. The aggregate intrinsic value for options outstanding and exercisable at
December 31, 2006 was based on the closing price of the Corporations common stock at December 31,
2006, which was $103.91.
Additionally, an incentive stock plan has been adopted under the Plans whereby certain participants
may elect to use up to 50% of their annual incentive compensation to acquire units representing
shares of the Corporations common stock at a 20% discount to the market value on the date of the
incentive compensation award. Certain executive officers are required to participate in the
incentive stock plan at certain minimum levels. Participants earn the right to receive their
respective shares at the discounted value generally at the end of a 34-month period of additional
employment from the date of award or at retirement beginning at age 62. All rights of ownership of
the common stock convey to the participants upon the issuance of their respective shares at the end
of the ownership-vesting period, with the exception of dividend equivalents that are paid on the
units during the vesting period.
The Corporation grants restricted stock awards under the Plans to a group of executive officers and
key personnel. Certain restricted stock awards are based on specific common stock performance
criteria over a specified period of time. In addition, certain awards were granted to individuals
to encourage retention and motivate key employees. These awards generally vest if the employee is
continuously employed over a specified period of time and require no payment from the employee.

2006, 2005 and 2004 was $91.05, $55.15 and $46.80, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date
fair value of restricted stock awards granted during 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $88.85, $60.63 and
$46.80, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic values for incentive compensation awards and
restricted stock awards at December 31, 2006 were $2,910,000 and $39,283,000, respectively, and
were based on the closing price of the Corporations common stock at December 31, 2006, which was
$103.91.
At December 31, 2006, there are approximately 1,378,000 awards available for grant under the
Plans.
In 1996, the Corporation adopted the Shareholder Value Achievement Plan to award shares of the
Corporations common stock to key senior employees based on certain common stock performance
criteria over a long-term period. Under the terms of this plan, 250,000 shares of common stock were
reserved for issuance. Through December 31, 2006, 42,025 shares have been issued under this plan.
No awards have been granted under this plan after 2000.
Also, the Corporation adopted and the shareholders approved the Common Stock Purchase Plan for
Directors in 1996, which provides nonemployee directors the election to receive all or a portion of
their total fees in the form of the Corporations common stock. Under the terms of this plan,
300,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance. Currently, directors are required to
defer at least 50% of their retainer in the form of the Corporations common stock at a 20%
discount to market value. Directors elected to defer portions of their fees representing 7,263,
9,838 and 12,007 shares of the Corporations common stock under this plan during 2006, 2005 and
2004, respectively.

Note M: Shareholders Equity
The authorized capital structure of the Corporation includes 100,000,000 shares of common stock,
with a par value of $0.01 a share. At December 31, 2006, approximately 3,700,000 common shares were
reserved for issuance under stock-based plans. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were 945 and
1,036, respectively, shareholders of record.
During 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, the Corporation repurchased 1,874,200, 2,658,000 and
1,522,200 shares of its common stock at public market prices at various purchase dates. In February
2006, the Board authorized the Corporation to repurchase an additional 5,000,000 shares of its
common stock. At December 31, 2006, 4,231,000 shares of common stock were remaining under the
Corporations repurchase authorization.

N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
In addition to common stock, the capital structure includes 10,000,000 shares of
preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 a share. 100,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock were
reserved for issuance under the Corporations 1996 Shareholders Rights Plan that expired by its own
terms on October 21, 2006. Upon its expiration, the Board of Directors adopted a new Shareholders
Rights Plan (the Rights Plan) and reserved 200,000 shares of Junior Participating Class B
Preferred Stock for issuance. In accordance with the Rights Plan, the Corporation issued a dividend
of one right for each share of the Corporations common stock outstanding as of October 21, 2006,
and one right continues to attach to each share of common stock issued thereafter. The rights will
become exercisable if any person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15 percent or more of
the Corporations common stock. Once exercisable and upon a person or group acquiring 15 percent or
more of the Corporations common stock, each right (other than rights owned by such person or
group) entitles its holder to purchase, for an exercise price of $315 per share, a number of shares
of the Corporations common stock (or in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities
of the Corporation) having a market value of twice the exercise price, and under certain
conditions, common stock of an acquiring company having a market value of twice the exercise price.
If any person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15 percent or more of the Corporations
common stock, the Corporation may, at its option, exchange the outstanding rights (other than
rights owned by such acquiring person or group) for shares of the Corporations common stock or
Corporation equity securities deemed to have the same value as one share of common stock or a
combination thereof, at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock per right. The rights are
subject to adjustment if certain events occur, and they will initially expire on October 21, 2016,
if not terminated sooner. The Corporations Rights Plan provides that the Corporations Board of
Directors may, at its option, redeem all of the outstanding rights at a redemption price of $0.001
per right.
Note N: Commitments and Contingencies
The Corporation is engaged in certain legal and administrative proceedings incidental to its
normal business activities. While it is not possible to determine the
ultimate outcome of those
actions at this time, in the opinion of management and counsel, it is unlikely that the
outcome of such litigation and other proceedings, including those pertaining to environmental
matters (see Note A), will have a material adverse effect on the results of the Corporations
operations, its cash flows or financial position.
Asset
Retirement Obligations. The Corporation incurs reclamation costs as part of its aggregates
mining process. The estimated future reclamation obligations have been discounted to their present
value and are being accreted to their projected future obligations via charges to operating
expenses. Additionally, the fixed assets recorded concurrently with the liabilities are being
depreciated over the period until reclamation activities are expected to occur. Total accretion and
depreciation expenses for 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $2,033,000, $2,144,000 and $1,710,000,
respectively, and are included in other operating income and expenses, net, on the consolidated
statements of earnings.
The provisions of FAS 143 require the projected estimated reclamation obligation to include a
market risk premium which represents the amount an external party would charge for bearing the
uncertainty of guaranteeing a fixed price today for performance in the future. However, due to the
average remaining quarry life exceeding 50 years at current production rates and the nature of
quarry reclamation work, the Corporation believes that it is impractical for external parties to
agree to a fixed price today. Therefore, a market risk premium has not been included in the
estimated reclamation obligation.
The following shows the changes in the asset retirement obligations for the years ended December

Other Environmental Matters. The Corporations operations are subject to and affected by
federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, health
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries
page
thirty-six
N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
and safety and other regulatory matters. Certain of the Corporations operations may,
from time to time, involve the use of substances that are classified as toxic or hazardous within
the meaning of these laws and regulations. Environmental operating permits are, or may be, required
for certain of the Corporations operations, and such permits are subject to modification, renewal
and revocation. The Corporation regularly monitors and reviews its operations, procedures and
policies for compliance with these laws and regulations. Despite these compliance efforts, risk of
environmental remediation liability is inherent in the operation of the Corporations businesses,
as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses. The Corporation has no material
provisions for environmental remediation liabilities and does not believe such liabilities will
have a material adverse effect on the Corporation in the future.
Insurance Reserves and Letters of Credit. The Corporation has insurance coverage for workers
compensation, automobile liability and general liability claims with deductibles ranging from
$250,000 to $3,000,000. The Corporation is also self-insured for health claims. At December 31,
2006 and 2005, reserves of approximately $30,301,000 and $31,060,000, respectively, were recorded
for all such insurance claims. In connection with these workers compensation and automobile and
general liability insurance deductibles, the Corporation has entered into standby letter of credit
agreements of $26,210,000 at December 31, 2006.
Guarantee Liability. At December 31,2005, the Corporation recorded a liability of $3,600,000 for a
guarantee of debt of a limited liability company of which it is a member. The liability was settled
in 2006.
Surety Bonds. In the normal course of business, at December 31, 2006, the Corporation was
contingently liable for $119,679,000 in surety bonds required by certain states and municipalities
and their related agencies. The bonds are principally for certain construction contracts,
reclamation obligations and mining permits guaranteeing the Corporations own performance. The
Corporation has indemnified the underwriting insurance company against any exposure under the
surety bonds. In the Corporations past experience, no material claims have been made against these
financial instruments. Four
of these bonds, totaling $33,385,000, or 28% of all outstanding surety bonds, relate to specific
performance for road construction projects currently underway.
Purchase Commitments. The Corporation had purchase commitments for property, plant and equipment of
$27,737,000 as of December 31, 2006. The Corporation also had other purchase obligations related to
energy and service contracts of $11,431,000 as of December 31, 2006. The Corporations contractual
purchase commitments as of December 31, 2006 are as follows:

Employees. The Corporation had approximately 5,500 employees at December 31, 2006. Approximately
14% of the Corporations employees are represented by a labor union. All such employees are hourly
employees. One of the Corporations labor union contracts expires in August 2007.
Note O: Business Segments
During 2006, the Corporation reorganized the operations and management of its Aggregates business,
which resulted in a change to its reportable segments. The Corporation currently conducts its
aggregates operations through three reportable business segments: Mideast Group, Southeast Group
and West Group. The Corporation also has a Specialty Products segment that includes the Magnesia
Specialties and Structural Composite Products businesses. These segments are consistent with the
Corporations current management reporting structure. The accounting policies used for segment
reporting are the same as those described in Note A.
The Corporations evaluation of performance and allocation of resources are based primarily on
earnings from operations. Earnings from operations are net sales less cost of sales, selling,
general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses; include other operating
income and expenses; and exclude interest expense, other nonoperating income and expenses, net, and
income taxes. Corporate earnings from operations primarily include
Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and Consolidated Subsidiaries

N O T E S T O F I N A N C I A L S T A T E M E N T S ( C O N T I N U E D )
depreciation on capitalized interest, expenses for corporate administrative functions,
unallocated corporate expenses and other nonrecurring and/or non-operational adjustments excluded
from the Corporations evaluation of business segment performance and resource allocation. All debt
and related interest expense are held at Corporate.
Assets employed by segment include assets directly identified with those operations. Corporate
assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, property, plant and equipment for corporate
operations and other assets not directly identifiable with a reportable business segment. Property
additions include property, plant and equipment that have been purchased through acquisitions in
the amount of $2,095,000 for the West Group in 2005 and $667,000 for the Mideast Group in 2004.
During 2006, the Corporation did not purchase any property, plant and equipment through
acquisitions.
The following tables display selected financial data for the Corporations reportable business
segments for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. Prior year information
has been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the Corporations 2006 reportable segments.

The Corporations Magnesia Specialties business is a leading producer of magnesia-based
chemicals and dolomitic lime. The Corporation also produces structural composites products. These
product lines are reported through the Specialty Products segment.
The overall areas of focus for the Corporation include the following:
|
|
Maximize long-term shareholder return by pursuing
sound growth and earnings objectives; |
|
|
Conduct business in full compliance with applicable laws,
rules, regulations and the highest ethical standards; |
|
|
Provide a safe and healthy workplace for the

|
|
Record earnings per diluted share of $5.29; |
|
|
Gross margin and operating margin improvement in
the core aggregates business as a result of: |
|
|
|
heritage aggregates pricing increase of 13.5%, partially offset by a volume decrease of 1.7%; |
|
|
|
enhanced operating efficiency and targeted cost reduction resulting from plant automation and
productivity improvement initiatives; and |
|
|
|
focused expansion in high growth markets, particularly
in the southeastern and southwestern United States where 74% of the Aggregates business net
sales were generated. |

of $173 million for the repurchase of 1,874,200 shares
of the Corporations common stock (representing an
average price of $92.25) and $46 million in dividends; |
|
|
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a
percentage of net sales, remained relatively flat at 7.5%, in
spite of the initial absorption of stock option expense
and increased long-term incentive compensation costs; |
|
|
Capital expenditures increase of 20% over 2005,
with the Corporations capital program focused on
capacity expansion and efficiency improvement projects
in high-growth areas and at fixed-based quarries
serving long-haul high-growth markets; |
|
|
Continued maximization of transportation and materials
options created by the Corporations long-haul distribution network; |
|

In 2007, management will emphasize, among other things, the following initiatives:
|
|
Effectively serving high-growth markets having strong
aggregates demand, particularly in the Southeast and
Southwest; |
|
|
Continuing to build a competitive advantage from its
long-haul distribution network; |
|
|
Using best practices and information technology to
drive cost performance; |
|
|
Increasing the number of quarries using plant automation; |
|
|
Continuing the strong performance and operating
results of the Magnesia Specialties business; |
|
|
Increasing the Corporations gross margin and operating
margin; |
|
|
Focusing part of the capital spending program on the
recapitalization of several Southeast operations; |
|
|
Maximizing return on invested capital consistent with
the successful long-term operation of the Corporations
business; |
|
|
Reviewing the Corporations capital structure and
focusing on the establishment of prudent leverage
targets; and |
|
|
Returning cash to shareholders through sustainable
dividends and share repurchases. |
Management considers each of the following factors in evaluating the Corporations financial
condition and operating results.
Aggregates Economic Considerations
The construction aggregates industry is a mature and cyclical business dependent on activity within
the construction marketplace. The principal end-users are in public infrastructure (e.g., highways,
bridges, schools and prisons), commercial (e.g., office buildings, large retailers and wholesalers,
and malls) and residential construction markets. As discussed further under the section Aggregates
Industry and Corporation Trends on pages 49 through 51, end-user markets respond to changing
economic conditions in different ways. Public infrastructure construction is ordinarily more stable
than commercial and residential construction due to funding from federal, state and local
governments. Commercial and residential construction levels are interest rate-sensitive and
typically move in a direct correlation with economic cycles.
The Safe, Accountable, Flexible and Efficient Transportation Equity Act A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA-LU) is the current federal highway legislation providing funding of $286.4 billion over
the six-year period ending September 30, 2009. Overall, infrastructure spending was strong in 2006,
and the outlook for 2007 is positive. On February 15, 2007, the President signed a measure that
provides funding of $39.1 billion for the federal highway program and $9.0 billion for the federal
transit program. These amounts represent a total increase of $3.9 billion compared with 2006
levels.
The commercial construction market provided increased demand again in 2006, and the outlook for
2007 is also positive. The residential construction market declined in 2006 and is expected to
decline further in 2007. The residential construction market
accounted for approximately 17
percent of the Corporations aggregates product line shipments in 2006.
In 2006, the Corporation shipped 198.5 million tons of aggregates to customers in 31 states,
Canada, the Bahamas and the Caribbean Islands from 294 quarries, underground mines and distribution
yards. While the Corporations aggregates operations cover a wide geographic area, financial
results depend on the strength of the applicable local economies because of the high cost of
transportation relative to the price of the product. The Aggregates business top five
revenue-generating states North Carolina, Texas, Georgia, Iowa and South Carolina accounted for
approximately 58% of its 2006 net sales by state of destination, while the top ten
revenue-generating states accounted for approximately 79% of its 2006 net sales. Management closely
monitors economic conditions and public infrastructure spending in the market areas in the states
where the Corporations operations are located. Further, supply and demand conditions in these
states affect their respective profitability.
Aggregates Industry Considerations
Since the construction aggregates business is conducted outdoors, seasonal changes and other
weather-related conditions, such as hurricanes, significantly affect the aggregates industry by
impacting production schedules and profitability. The financial results of the first quarter are
generally significantly lower than the financial results of the other quarters due to winter
weather.

While natural aggregates sources typically occur in relatively homogeneous deposits in certain
areas of the United States, a significant challenge facing aggregates producers is to locate
suitable deposits that can be economically mined, can be permitted, and are in the close proximity
to growing markets (or in close proximity to long-haul transportation corridors that economically
serve growing markets). This is becoming more challenging as residential expansion and other real
estate development encroach on attractive quarrying locations, often triggering regulatory
constraints or otherwise making these locations impractical. The Corporations management continues
to meet this challenge through strategic planning to identify site locations in advance of economic
expansion; acquire land around existing quarry sites to increase mineral reserve capacity and
lengthen quarry life; develop underground mines; and create a competitive advantage with its
long-haul distribution network. This network moves aggregates materials from domestic and offshore
sources, via rail and water, to markets where aggregates supply is limited. The movement of
aggregates materials through long-haul networks introduces risks affecting operating results as
discussed more fully under the sections Analysis of Gross Margin
and Transportation Exposure on page 48
and pages 57 through 59, respectively.
The construction aggregates industry has been in a consolidating mode, and management expects this
trend to continue. The Corporation has actively participated in the consolidation of the industry.
When acquired, new locations sometimes do not satisfy the Corporations internal safety,
maintenance and pit development standards and may require additional resources before benefits of
the acquisitions are realized. However, the Corporations acquisition activity since 2002 has been
limited, and management believes the upgrade and integration of acquired operations is complete.
The industry consolidation trend is slowing as the number of suitable acquisition targets in high
growth markets declines. During the recent period of slow acquisition growth, the Corporation has
focused on investing in internal expansion projects in high-growth markets and on divesting
underperforming operations.
Aggregates Financial Considerations
The production of construction-related aggregates requires a significant capital investment
resulting in high fixed and semi-fixed costs, as discussed more fully under the section Cost
Structure on pages 55 through 57. Operating results and financial performance are sensitive to
volume changes. However, the shift in pricing dynamics in the industry, initially beginning in the
second half of 2004, has provided management with the opportunity to increase prices at a higher
rate and with greater frequency than historical averages. This
pricing improvement
has more than offset the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
impact of the 2.3% decline in volume
in the aggregates product line in 2006.
Management evaluates financial performance
in a variety of ways. In particular, gross margin excluding freight and delivery revenues
is a significant measure of financial performance reviewed by management on a site-by-site basis.

changes in average selling prices, costs per ton produced and return on invested capital.
Changes in average selling prices demonstrate economic and competitive conditions, while changes in
costs per ton produced are indicative of operating efficiency and economic conditions.
Other Business Considerations
The Corporation also produces dolomitic lime and magnesia-based chemicals through its Magnesia
Specialties business and has a small structural composites product line. These businesses are
reported in the Specialty Products segment.
The dolomitic lime business is dependent on the highly cyclical steel industry; thus operating
results are affected by changes in that industry. In the chemical products business, management is
focusing on higher margin specialty chemicals that can be produced at volume levels that support
efficient operations. This focus, coupled with an agreement to supply brine to The Dow Chemical
Company, has provided the magnesia chemicals business with a strategic advantage to improve
earnings and margins. A significant portion of cost related to the production of dolomitic lime and
magnesia chemical products is of a fixed or semi-fixed nature. The production of dolomitic lime and
certain magnesia chemical products also requires the use of natural gas, coal and petroleum coke;
hence, fluctuations in their pricing directly affect operating results.
The Corporation has been engaged in developmental activities related to structural composites. In
the fourth quarter of 2006, the Corporation decided to discontinue this effort as it relates to
certain product lines. In 2007, the Corporation will continue to develop and sell a limited number
of products, with specific quarterly milestones established for the business performance.
Cash Flow Considerations
The Corporations cash flows are generated primarily from operations. Operating cash flows
generally fund working capital needs, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases and
smaller acquisitions. Debt has been used to fund large acquisitions. Equity has been
used for smaller acquisitions as appropriate. During 2006, the Corporations management continued
to emphasize delivering value to shareholders through the return of $219 million through share
repurchases and dividends. Additionally, the Corporation invested $266 million in internal capital
projects ($137 of maintenance capital and $129 million of growth capital) and made a voluntary $12
million contribution to its pension plan.

Results of Operations
The discussion and analysis that follow reflect managements assessment of the financial
condition and results of operations of the Corporation and should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements on pages 10 through 39. As discussed in more detail
herein, the Corporations operating results are highly dependent upon activity within the
construction and steel-related marketplaces, economic cycles within the public and private
business sectors, and seasonal and other weather-related conditions. Accordingly, the financial
results for a particular year, or year-to-year comparisons of reported results, may not be
indicative of future operating results. The Corporations Aggregates business generated 92% of net
sales and the majority of operating earnings during 2006. The following comparative analysis and
discussion should be read in that context. Further, sensitivity analysis and certain other data
are provided to enhance the readers understanding of Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations and is not intended to be indicative of managements
judgment of materiality. The Corporations consolidated operating results and operating results as

The comparative analysis in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations is based on net sales and cost of sales. However, gross margin as a
percentage of net sales and operating margin as a percentage of net sales represent non-GAAP
measures. The Corporation presents these ratios calculated based on net sales, as it is consistent
with the basis by which management reviews the Corporations operating results. Further, management
believes it is consistent with the basis by which investors analyze the Corporations operating
results given that freight and delivery revenues and costs represent pass-throughs and have no
profit mark-up. 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 years
ended December 31 in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the ratios as percentages of
total revenues to percentages of net sales.

For purposes of determining heritage sales price increases, the percentage change for the
year is calculated using the then heritage aggregates prices. |
Heritage aggregates operations exclude acquisitions that were not included in prior-year
operations for a full year and divestitures.
The average annual heritage aggregates product line price increase for the five and twenty years
ended December 31, 2006 was 5.7% and 3.2%, respectively. Aggregates sales price increases in 2006
and 2005 reflect a scarcity of supply in high-growth markets (see section Aggregates Industry and
Corporation Trends on pages 49 through 51). Pricing in 2005 also reflects higher demand for
aggregates products. Aggregates 2004 sales price increases were negatively affected by the
recessionary construction economy experienced in the first half of that year.
Aggregates shipments of 198.5 million tons in 2006 decreased compared with 203.2 million tons
shipped in 2005. The increase in the cost of construction materials in 2006 and 2005 contributed
somewhat to the decline in volume. Total aggregates product line shipments of 203.2 million tons
in 2005 increased compared with 191.5 million tons shipped in 2004. The following presents
heritage and total aggregates product line shipments for each reportable segment for the
