NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.   Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., (the “Corporation”) is engaged principally in the construction aggregates business. The Corporation’s aggregates product line accounted for 69% of consolidated 2013 net sales and includes crushed stone, sand and gravel, and is used for construction of highways and other infrastructure projects, and in the nonresidential and residential construction industries. Aggregates products are also used in the railroad, agricultural, utility and environmental industries. These aggregates products, along with the Corporation’s vertically-integrated operations, i.e., asphalt products, ready mixed concrete and road paving construction services (which accounted for 19% of consolidated 2013 net sales), are sold and shipped from a network of nearly 300 quarries, distribution facilities and plants to customers in 30 states, Canada, the Bahamas and the Caribbean Islands. The aggregates and vertically-integrated operations are reported collectively as the Corporation’s “Aggregates business”.

Effective January 1, 2014, the Corporation made minor changes to the operations and management reporting structure of its Aggregates business, resulting in an immaterial change to its reportable segments. The Corporation currently conducts its Aggregates business through three reportable segments as follows:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The Corporation has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not indicative of the results expected for other interim periods or the full year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Early Adoption of New Accounting Standard

Effective January 1, 2014, the Corporation early adopted the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s final guidance on reporting discontinued operations. The guidance is to be applied prospectively and redefines discontinued operations to be either 1) a component of an entity or group of components that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results or 2) a business that, upon acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The adoption of the accounting standard did not have any effect on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations.

Reclassifications

Prior-year segment information for the Aggregates business presented in Note 9 has been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the Corporation’s current reportable segments.

Earnings per Common Share

The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share is net earnings/loss attributable to Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., reduced by dividends and undistributed earnings attributable to the Corporation’s unvested restricted stock awards and incentive stock awards. If there is a net loss, no amount of the undistributed loss is attributed to unvested participating securities. The denominator for basic earnings per common share is the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. 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 Corporation’s Board of Directors under certain stock-based compensation arrangements if the conversion is dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, all such awards were antidilutive given the net loss attributable to Martin Marietta Materials Inc.

The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator for basic and diluted earnings per common share:

The Corporation, through a wholly-owned consolidated special purpose subsidiary, has a $150,000,000 trade receivable securitization facility with SunTrust Bank and certain other lenders that may become a party to the facility from time to time (the “Trade Receivable Facility”). The Trade Receivable Facility is backed by eligible, as defined, trade receivables of $232,566,000 and $234,101,000 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which are originated by the Corporation and then sold to the wholly-owned consolidated special purpose subsidiary by the Corporation. The Corporation continues to be responsible for the servicing and administration of the receivables purchased by the wholly-owned consolidated special purpose subsidiary. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, outstanding borrowings under the Trade Receivable Facility were classified as long-term on the consolidated balance sheet as the Corporation has the intent and ability to refinance amounts outstanding using other long-term credit facilities. The Trade Receivable Facility contains a cross-default provision to the Corporation’s other debt agreements. On April 18, 2014, the Corporation extended the maturity of the Trade Receivable Facility to September 30, 2014.

4. Long-Term Debt (continued)

 

The Corporation’s Credit Agreement, which provides a $250,000,000 senior unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $350,000,000 five-year senior unsecured revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”), requires the Corporation’s ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), as defined, for the trailing twelve months (the “Ratio”) to not exceed 3.50x as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Corporation may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions for a period of 180 days so long as the Corporation, as a consequence of such specified acquisition, does not have its rating on long-term unsecured debt fall below BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Baa2 by Moody’s and the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 3.75x. Additionally, if no amounts are outstanding under both the Revolving Facility and the Trade Receivable Facility, consolidated debt, including debt for which the Corporation is a co-borrower, may be reduced by the Corporation’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50,000,000, such reduction not to exceed $200,000,000, for purposes of the covenant calculation. The Corporation was in compliance with this Ratio at March 31, 2014.

Available borrowings under the Revolving Facility are reduced by any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Corporation under the Revolving Facility. At March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Corporation had $2,507,000 of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes the unamortized value of terminated forward starting interest rate swap agreements. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Corporation recognized $288,000 and $269,000, respectively, as additional interest expense. The ongoing amortization of the terminated value of the forward starting interest rate swap agreements will increase annual interest expense by approximately $1,200,000 until the maturity of the 6.6% Senior Notes in 2018.

5.   Financial Instruments

The Corporation’s financial instruments include temporary cash investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, bank overdraft, accounts payable, publicly-registered long-term notes, debentures and other long-term debt.

Temporary cash investments are placed primarily in money market funds, money market demand deposit accounts and Eurodollar time deposits with the following financial institutions: Branch Banking and Trust Company, Comerica Bank, Fifth Third Bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Regions Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The Corporation’s 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.

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 (namely, Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, Iowa and Georgia). The estimated fair values of customer receivables approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of the receivables.

Notes receivable are primarily promissory notes with customers and are not publicly traded. Management estimates that the fair value of notes receivable approximates the carrying amount.

The bank overdraft represents amounts to be funded to financial institutions for checks that have cleared the bank. The estimated fair value of the bank overdraft approximates its carrying value.

Accounts payable represent amounts owed to suppliers and vendors. The estimated fair value of accounts payable approximates its carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of the payables.

The carrying values and fair values of the Corporation’s long-term debt were $1,067,944,000 and $1,127,149,000, respectively, at March 31, 2014; $1,030,921,000 and $1,068,324,000, respectively, at December 31, 2013; and $1,078,527,000 and $1,155,051,000, respectively, at March 31, 2013. The estimated fair value of the Corporation’s publicly-registered long-term notes was estimated based on Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy using quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of other borrowings, which primarily represents variable-rate debt, approximates its carrying amount as the interest rates reset periodically.

6.   Income Taxes

 

     Three Months Ended March 31,  
     2014      2013  

Estimated effective income tax rate:

     

Continuing operations

     26.7%         22.4%   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Discontinued operations

     6.3%         20.9%   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Consolidated overall

     26.7%         22.4%   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The Corporation’s effective income tax rate reflects the effect of federal and state income taxes and the impact of differences in book and tax accounting arising from the net permanent benefits associated with the statutory depletion deduction for mineral reserves, the impact of foreign losses for which no tax benefit was realized and the domestic production deduction. The effective income tax rates for discontinued operations reflect the tax effects of individual operations’ transactions and are not indicative of the Corporation’s overall effective income tax rate.

On September 13, 2013, the U.S. Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations addressing costs incurred in acquiring, producing or improving tangible property (the “tangible property regulations”). The tangible property regulations required the Corporation to make additional tax accounting method changes as of January 1, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the Corporation estimated the tax impact of the regulatory change and recorded an increase in noncurrent deferred tax liabilities in the amount of $1,334,000, with a corresponding reduction in current taxes payable.

The Corporation’s unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, correlative effects and indirect benefits, are as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended

6. Income Taxes (continued)

 

The Corporation anticipates that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease up to $7,365,000, excluding indirect benefits, during the twelve months ending March 31, 2015 as a result of expected settlements with taxing authorities and the expiration of the foreign and domestic statute of limitations for the 2009 and 2010 tax years, respectively.

At March 31, 2014, unrecognized tax benefits of $7,449,000 related to interest accruals and permanent income tax differences, net of federal tax benefits, would have favorably affected the Corporation’s effective income tax rate if recognized.

Legal and Administrative Proceedings

The Corporation is engaged in certain legal and administrative proceedings incidental to its normal business activities. In the opinion of management and counsel, based upon currently-available facts, it is remote that the ultimate outcome of any litigation and other proceedings, including those pertaining to environmental matters, relating to the Corporation and its subsidiaries, will have a material adverse effect on the overall results of the Corporation’s operations, its cash flows or its financial position.

Litigation Related to the Merger

Following the announcement of the merger, a purported stockholder of Texas Industries, Inc. (“TXI”) filed a putative class action lawsuit against TXI and members of the TXI board, and against the Corporation and one of its affiliates, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, captioned Maxine Phillips, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Texas Industries, Inc., et al., Case 3:14-cv-00740-B (referred to as the “Phillips Action”). The plaintiff in the Phillips Action alleges in an amended complaint, among other things, (i) that members of the TXI board breached their fiduciary duties to TXI’s stockholders by failing to fully disclose material information regarding the proposed transaction and by adopting the merger agreement for inadequate consideration and pursuant to an inadequate process, (ii) that the Corporation and one of the Corporation’s affiliates aided and abetted the TXI board in their alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and (iii) that the registration statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part contains certain material misstatements and omissions in violation of Section 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The plaintiff in the Phillips Action seeks, among other things, injunctive relief enjoining TXI and the Corporation from proceeding with the merger, rescission in the event the merger is consummated, damages, and an award of attorneys’ and other fees and costs. The Corporation believes the lawsuit is without merit.

Environmental and Governmental Regulations

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) includes the lime industry as a national enforcement priority under the federal Clean Air Act (“CAA”). As part of the industry wide effort, the EPA issued Notices of Violation/Findings of Violation (“NOVs”) to the Corporation in 2010 and 2011 regarding the Corporation’s compliance with the CAA New Source Review (“NSR”) program at its Specialty Products dolomitic lime manufacturing plant in Woodville, Ohio. The Corporation has been providing information to the EPA in response to these NOVs and has had several meetings with the EPA. The Corporation believes it is in substantial compliance with the NSR program. At this time, the Corporation cannot reasonably estimate what likely penalties or upgrades to equipment might ultimately be required. The Corporation believes that any costs related to any upgrades to capital equipment will be spread over time and will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or its financial condition, but can give no assurance that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Specialty Products segment of the business.

Borrowing Arrangements with Affiliate

The Corporation is a co-borrower with an unconsolidated affiliate for a $24,000,000 revolving line of credit agreement with Fifth Third Bank. The line of credit expires in August 2015. The affiliate has agreed to reimburse and indemnify the Corporation for any payments and expenses the Corporation may incur from this agreement. The Corporation holds a lien on the affiliate’s membership interest in a joint venture as collateral for payment under the revolving line of credit.

In September 2013, the Corporation loaned $3,402,000 to this unconsolidated affiliate to repay in full the outstanding balance of the affiliate’s loan with Bank of America, N.A. and entered into a loan agreement with the affiliate for monthly repayment of principal and interest of that loan amount through May 2016. The Corporation holds a lien on the affiliate’s property as collateral for payment under the loan and security agreement. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the amount due from the affiliate related to this loan was $2,773,000 and $2,984,000, respectively.

In addition, the Corporation has a $6,000,000 outstanding loan due from this unconsolidated affiliate as of March 31, 2014.

Employees

Approximately 15% of the Corporation’s employees are represented by a labor union. All such employees are hourly employees. The Corporation maintains collective bargaining agreements relating to the union employees within the Aggregates business and Specialty Products segment. Of the Specialty Products segment, located in Manistee, Michigan and Woodville, Ohio, 100% of its hourly employees are represented by labor unions. The Woodville collective bargaining agreement expires in June 2014. Management does not anticipate any difficulties in renewing the Woodville labor contract.

11.   Business Developments

On January 28, 2014, the Corporation and TXI announced that the Boards of Directors of both companies unanimously approved a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, the Corporation will acquire all of the outstanding shares of TXI common stock in a tax-free, stock-for-stock transaction (the “proposed business combination with TXI”). Under the terms of the merger agreement, TXI stakeholders will receive 0.700 shares of the Corporation’s common stock for each share of TXI common stock owned at closing. Pursuant to the terms of the proposed business combination with TXI, the Corporation’s dividends will be limited to regular quarterly dividends of $0.40 per share until the earlier of the closing of the proposed business combination with TXI or the termination of the merger agreement, with declaration, record and payment dates consistent with past practice. Additionally, repurchases of the Corporation’s common stock will be prohibited until the earlier of the closing of the proposed business combination with TXI or the termination of the merger agreement. The proposed business combination is currently under review for regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the summer. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Corporation incurred $9,458,000 of business development expenses related to the acquisition.

 

12.   Subsequent Events

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

OVERVIEW    Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., (the “Corporation”) is the nation’s second largest producer of construction aggregates. The Corporation’s annual consolidated net sales and operating earnings are predominately derived from its Aggregates business, which processes and sells granite, limestone, and other aggregates products, including asphalt, ready mixed concrete and road paving construction services, from a network of nearly 300 quarries, distribution facilities and plants to customers in 30 states, Canada, the Bahamas and the Caribbean Islands. The Aggregates business’ products are used primarily by commercial customers principally in domestic construction of highways and other infrastructure projects and for nonresidential and residential building development. Aggregates products are also used in the railroad, agricultural, utility and environmental industries.

The Corporation currently conducts its Aggregates business through three reportable business segments: Mid-America Group, Southeast Group and West Group.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES    The Corporation outlined its critical accounting policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no changes to the Corporation’s critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

On January 28, 2014, the Corporation and Texas Industries, Inc. (“TXI”) announced that the Boards of Directors of both companies unanimously approved a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, the Corporation will acquire all of the outstanding shares of TXI common stock in a tax-free, stock-for-stock transaction (the “proposed business combination with TXI”). The business combination is expected to close in the summer.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Except as indicated, the comparative analysis in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflects results from continuing operations and 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 Corporation’s operating results. Further, management believes it is consistent with the basis by which investors analyze the Corporation’s 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 three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the ratios as percentages of total revenues to percentages of net sales:

Impact of Business Development Expenses

Adjusted consolidated loss from operations and adjusted loss per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, exclude the impact of business development expenses related to the proposed business combination with TXI, and represent non-GAAP financial measures. Management presents these measures for investors and analysts to evaluate and forecast the Corporation’s financial results, as these business development expenses are nonrecurring costs (in thousands, except per share data).

The following shows the calculation of the impact of business development expenses related to the proposed business combination with TXI on the loss per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2014:

 

  Business development expenses related to the proposed business combination with TXI

       $ 9,458        

  Income tax benefit

     (3,725)

Aggregates product line shipments reflect double-digit growth in three of the four end-use markets. Volumes to the nonresidential market represented 34% of quarterly shipments and increased 13%, reflecting growth in the commercial and energy sectors. The residential end-use market accounted for 15% of quarterly shipments, and volumes to this market increased 16%, with notable growth in the Southeast and West Groups. The ChemRock/Rail market accounted for 12% of volumes, with higher ballast and agricultural lime shipments driving this market’s 14% growth.

Shipments to the infrastructure market were flat and comprised the remaining 39% of the aggregates product line. Strength in infrastructure spending was apparent in the West Group, particularly in states with strong department of transportation programs and where alternative financing options, including special-purpose taxes, have been approved. That said, uncertainty remains regarding a successor federal highway bill beyond the September 30 expiration of the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, or MAP-21. It is generally recognized that additional revenue sources are needed to maintain the Highway Trust Fund’s solvency. Amid this environment, several states, including Colorado, Georgia and Iowa have stated their intentions to take a cautious approach with committing to major projects if federal highway funding is not stabilized by the expiration of MAP-21. While there is executive and legislative support for a successor bill, key provisions are still being deliberated, including duration of the bill, annual funding levels and revenue sources.

Geographically, the West Group reported a 21.5% increase in aggregates product line shipments while the Mid-America and Southeast Groups reported declines of 5.3% and 2.5%, respectively. In addition to the impact of weather, these variances continue to reveal that many western states are operating in the growth mode of the construction cycle, while many eastern states are still transitioning from recovery to growth. Aggregates product line pricing declined 1.3%, due to geographic and product mix. The West Group, in particular the Colorado operations, has lower average selling prices compared with the Mid-America and Southeast Groups. Shipments in the West Group comprised a larger percentage of quarterly shipments in 2014. Additionally, shipments of clean stone, which have a higher average selling price compared with other products, represented a lower percentage of quarterly volumes in 2014. If geographic and product mix had been the same as the prior-year quarter, aggregates product line pricing would have increased approximately 1%.

The vertically-integrated product lines each reported growth in net sales and gross profit. The ready mixed concrete product line achieved a 45% increase in net sales, which reflected volume and pricing improvement of 24% and 9%, respectively. The asphalt product line reported a 9% increase in net sales, due to increased shipments.

Aggregates product line production volumes decreased 2.4% due to weather constraints. As expected, this led to an underabsorption of fixed costs and a higher cost per ton. Although adversely affected by weather, higher net sales more than offset cost challenges and led to a 400-basis-point expansion of the business’ gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues).

The Aggregates business is significantly affected by erratic weather patterns, seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions. Production and shipment levels for aggregates, asphalt, ready mixed concrete and road paving materials correlate with general construction activity levels, most of which occurs in the spring, summer and fall. Thus, production and shipment levels vary by quarter. Operations concentrated in the northern and midwestern United States generally experience more severe winter weather conditions than operations in the Southeast and Southwest. Given the irregular winter conditions during the first-quarter, production and cost per ton were negatively affected. Excessive rainfall, and conversely excessive drought, can also jeopardize shipments, production and profitability in all markets served by the Corporation. Because of the potentially significant impact of weather on the Corporation’s operations, first-quarter results are not indicative of expected performance for other interim periods or the full year.

The Specialty Products business continued its strong performance and generated record first-quarter net sales of $57.4 million, an increase of 3.9%, over the prior-year quarter. Growth was attributable to the chemicals product line. The business’ gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) of 32.7% declined 280 basis points, primarily due to higher natural gas costs – a direct result of a colder-than-usual winter and the resultant impact on natural gas demand. First-quarter earnings from operations were $16.3 million compared with $17.1 million in the prior-year quarter.

Each of the Aggregates business’ three reportable segments achieved gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) improvement, with the Southeast and West Groups leveraging net sales increases and reporting a 440-and 580-basis-point expansion, respectively. Specialty Products’ gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) was negatively affected by higher natural gas costs and declined 280 basis points.

Consolidated gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) was 6.8% for 2014 compared to 3.7% for 2013. The following presents a rollforward of consolidated gross profit (dollars in thousands):

Consistent with expectations, consolidated SG&A declined $3.4 million, or 190 basis points as a percentage of net sales. Lower pension expense and the absence of information systems upgrade costs incurred in 2013 primarily account for the reduction. The Company incurred $9.5 million of business development expenses related to the pending combination with TXI. Excluding these business development expenses, the adjusted consolidated loss from operations was $6.4 million. This compares with a consolidated loss from operations of $23.3 million in the prior-year quarter and reflects more than 70% improvement from 2013.

Among other items, other operating income and expenses, net, includes gains and losses on the sale of assets; recoveries and writeoffs related to customer accounts receivable; rental, royalty and services income; accretion expense, depreciation expense and gains and losses related to asset retirement obligations; and research and development costs. For the first quarter, consolidated other operating income and expenses, net, was income of $2.0 million in 2014 compared with income of $1.8 million in 2013. First quarter 2014 included higher gains on the sale of assets compared with 2013. Due to the proposed business combination with TXI, business development expenses increased in 2014 compared to 2013 by $9.5 million.

Other nonoperating income and expenses, net, includes foreign currency translation gains and losses, interest income and equity adjustments for nonconsolidated affiliates. The $2.8 million increase in other nonoperating expenses, net, is due primarily to a $2.3 million increase in the foreign currency translation loss for 2014.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $6.6 million compared with $18.6 million for the same period in 2013. The decline was attributable to the impact of higher net sales on working capital. Operating cash flow is primarily derived from consolidated net earnings (loss), before deducting depreciation, depletion and amortization, and offset by working capital requirements. Depreciation, depletion and amortization were as follows:

 

     Three Months Ended
March 31,
 
     2014      2013  
     (Dollars in Thousands)  

Depreciation

       $   40,107             $   40,818

       $   42,466             $   43,043     
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The seasonal nature of the construction aggregates business impacts quarterly operating cash flow when compared with the full year. Full-year 2013 net cash provided by operating activities was $309.0 million compared with $18.6 million for the first three months of 2013.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Corporation invested $36.9 million of capital into its business. Full-year capital spending, exclusive of acquisitions, if any, is expected to be approximately $155.0 million in 2014. Comparable full-year capital expenditures were $155.2 million in 2013.

The Corporation, through a wholly-owned consolidated special purpose subsidiary, has a $150 million trade receivable securitization facility with SunTrust Bank and certain other lenders that may become a party to the facility from time to time (the “Trade Receivable Facility”). The Trade Receivable Facility is backed by eligible, as defined, trade receivables, which are originated by the Corporation and then sold to the wholly owned consolidated special purpose subsidiary by the Corporation. The Corporation has the option to request an increase in the commitment amount by up to an additional $100 million in increments of no less than $25 million, subject to receipt of lender commitments for the increased amount. The Corporation has the intent and ability to refinance amounts outstanding using other long-term credit facilities. On April 18, 2014, the Corporation extended the maturity of the Trade Receivable Facility to September 30, 2014.

The Corporation can repurchase its common stock through open-market purchases pursuant to authority granted by its Board of Directors or through private transactions at such prices and upon such terms as the Chief Executive Officer deems appropriate. The Corporation did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. At March 31, 2014, 5,042,000 shares of common stock were remaining under the Corporation’s repurchase authorization. Under the merger agreement with TXI, repurchases of the Corporation’s common stock will be prohibited until the earlier of the closing of the proposed business combination with TXI or the termination of the merger agreement.

On April 2, 2014, the Corporation paid $19.5 million for the remaining 50% interest in a joint venture.

The Credit Agreement (which consists of a $250 million Term Loan Facility and a $350 million Revolving Facility) requires the Corporation’s ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), as defined, for the trailing twelve month period (the “Ratio”) to not exceed 3.50x as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Corporation may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions for a period of 180 days so long as the Corporation, as a consequence of such specified acquisition, does not have its ratings on long-term unsecured debt fall below BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Baa2 by Moody’s and the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 3.75x. Additionally, if there are no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility, consolidated debt, including debt for which the Corporation is a co-borrower, will be reduced for purposes of the covenant calculation by the Corporation’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50 million, such reduction not to exceed $200 million.

The Ratio is calculated as debt, including debt for which the Corporation is a co-borrower, divided by consolidated EBITDA, as defined, for the trailing twelve months. Consolidated EBITDA is generally defined as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for continuing operations. Additionally, stock-based compensation expense is added back and interest income is deducted in the calculation of consolidated EBITDA. Certain other nonrecurring noncash items, if they occur, can affect the calculation of consolidated EBITDA.

At March 31, 2014, the Corporation’s ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, as defined, for the trailing twelve months EBITDA was 2.74 times and was calculated as follows:

              $ 1,091,301      
 

 

 

 

Consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, as defined, at March 31, 2014 for the trailing twelve months EBITDA

    2.74X      
 

 

 

 

The Trade Receivable Facility contains a cross-default provision to the Corporation’s other debt agreements. In the event of a default on the Ratio, the lenders can terminate the Credit Agreement and Trade Receivable Facility and declare any outstanding balances as immediately due.

Cash on hand, along with the Corporation’s projected internal cash flows and availability of financing resources, including its access to debt and equity capital markets, is expected to continue to be sufficient to provide the capital resources necessary to support anticipated operating needs, cover debt service requirements, meet capital expenditures and discretionary investment needs, fund certain acquisition opportunities that may arise and allow for payment of dividends for the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2014, the Corporation had $327 million of unused borrowing capacity under its Revolving Facility, subject to complying with the related leverage covenant. The Revolving Facility expires on November 29, 2018.

The Corporation may be required to obtain financing to fund certain strategic acquisitions, if any such opportunities arise, or to refinance outstanding debt. Any strategic acquisition of size for cash would likely require an appropriate balance of newly-issued equity with debt in order to maintain a composite investment-grade credit rating. Furthermore, the Corporation is exposed to the credit markets, through the interest cost related to its variable-rate debt, which included borrowings under its Revolving Facility, Term Loan Facility and Trade Receivable Facility at March 31, 2014. The Corporation is currently rated by three credit rating agencies; two of those agencies’ credit ratings are investment-grade level and the third agency’s credit rating is one level below investment grade. The Corporation’s composite credit rating remains at investment-grade level, which facilitates obtaining financing at lower rates than noninvestment-grade ratings. As a result of the Corporation’s proposed business combination with TXI, two of its credit rating agencies placed the Corporation’s credit ratings under review for possible downgrade. While management believes its composite credit ratings will remain at an investment-grade level, no assurance can be given that these ratings will remain at current levels, particularly if any opportunities arise to consummate strategic acquisitions.

TRENDS AND RISKS     The Corporation outlined the risks associated with its business in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Management continues to evaluate its exposure to all operating risks on an ongoing basis.

OUTLOOK

The Company is encouraged by various positive trends in its business and markets, notably:

 

   

Nonresidential construction is expected to grow in both the heavy industrial and commercial sectors.

   

Shale development and related follow-on public and private construction activities are anticipated to remain strong.

   

The commercial building sector is expected to benefit from improved market fundamentals, such as higher occupancies and rents, strengthened property values and increased real estate lending.

   

Residential construction should continue to grow, driven by historically low mortgage rates, higher multi-family rental rates, rising housing prices; total annual housing starts are expected to exceed one million units for the first time since 2007.

   

For the public sector, authorized highway funding from MAP-21 should increase slightly compared with 2013.

   

Additionally, state initiatives to finance infrastructure projects are expected to grow continuing to play a more expanded role in public-sector activity.

(Continued)

 

Based on these trends and expectations, the Company anticipates:

 

   

Aggregates end-use markets compared to 2013 levels:  infrastructure shipments to increase slightly; nonresidential shipments to increase in the mid-to-high single digits; residential shipments to experience double-digit growth; and ChemRock/Rail shipments to increase in the low-single digits.

   

Aggregates product line shipments to increase by 4% to 5% compared with 2013 levels.

   

Aggregates product line pricing to increase by 3% to 5% for the year compared with 2013.

   

Aggregates product line direct production cost per ton to decrease slightly compared with 2013.

   

Vertically integrated businesses to generate between $385 million and $405 million of net sales and $40 million to $45 million of gross profit.

   

SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales to decline compared with 2013, driven in part by $7.9 million of nonrecurring costs related primarily to the 2013 completion of the Company’s information systems upgrade, as well as, lower pension costs.

   

Net sales for the Specialty Products segment to be between $225 million and $235 million, generating $85 million to $90 million of gross profit.

   

Interest expense to remain relatively flat compared with 2013.

   

Estimated effective income tax rate to approximate 29%, excluding discrete events.

   

Capital expenditures to approximate $155 million.

Looking ahead, management is encouraged by numerous macro-economic indicators, including employment growth, which suggests increased construction activity. Management expects private-sector construction to benefit from significant shale energy projects, improvements in general nonresidential construction and further recovery in the housing market. Additionally, following years of underinvestment at the federal level, management expects growth in state-level infrastructure funding initiatives to stimulate public-sector activity. Management believes they are well positioned to capture these opportunities across their markets and build on their momentum to continue creating value for shareholders. Management remains focused on further improving their balance sheet, increasing financial flexibility and enhancing their access to capital, all of which should fuel their long-term growth as they experience rapidly improving market conditions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Corporation’s operations are highly dependent upon the interest rate-sensitive construction and steelmaking industries. Consequently, these marketplaces could experience lower levels of economic activity in an environment of rising interest rates or escalating costs.

Management has considered the current economic environment and its potential impact to the Corporation’s business. Demand for aggregates products, particularly in the infrastructure construction market, has already been negatively affected by federal and state budget and deficit issues and the uncertainty over future highway funding levels beyond the September 2014 expiration of MAP-21. Further, delays or cancellations to capital projects in the nonresidential and residential construction markets could occur if companies and consumers are unable to obtain financing for construction projects or if consumer confidence continues to be eroded by economic uncertainty.

Demand in the residential construction market is affected by interest rates. The Federal Reserve kept the federal funds rate near zero percent during the three months ended March 31, 2014, unchanged since 2008. The residential construction market accounted for 14% of the Corporation’s aggregates product line shipments in 2013.

Aside from these inherent risks from within its operations, the Corporation’s earnings are also affected by changes in short-term interest rates. However, rising interest rates are not necessarily predictive of weaker operating results. In fact, since 2007, the Corporation’s profitability increased when interest rates rose, based on the last twelve months quarterly historical net income regression versus a 10-year U.S. government bond. In essence, the Corporation’s underlying business generally serves as a natural hedge to rising interest rates.

Variable-Rate Borrowing Facilities.    At March 31, 2014, the Corporation had a $600 million Credit Agreement, comprised of a $350 million Revolving Facility and $250 million Term Loan Facility, and a $150 million Trade Receivable Facility. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at a variable interest rate. A hypothetical 100-basis-point increase in interest rates on borrowings of $415.4 million, which was the collective outstanding balance at March 31, 2014, would increase interest expense by $4.2 million on an annual basis. The reduction of short-term borrowings may increase interest expense based on currently favorable short-term interest rates.

Pension Expense.    The Corporation’s results of operations are affected by its pension expense. Assumptions that affect pension expense include the discount rate and, for the defined benefit pension plans only, the expected long-term rate of return on assets. Therefore, the Corporation has interest rate risk associated with these factors. The impact of hypothetical changes in these assumptions on the Corporation’s annual pension expense is discussed in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Energy Costs.    Energy costs, including diesel fuel, natural gas, coal and liquid asphalt, represent significant production costs of the Corporation. The Corporation does not hedge its diesel fuel price risk. The Specialty Products business has fixed price agreements covering half of its 2014 coal requirements. A hypothetical 10% change in the Corporation’s energy prices in 2014 as compared with 2013, assuming constant volumes, would change 2014 pretax earnings by $19.9 million.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2014, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Corporation’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014. There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

EXHIBIT 95

MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

The operation of the Corporation’s domestic aggregates quarries and mines is subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA inspects the Corporation’s quarries and mines on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. Whenever MSHA issues a citation or order, it also generally proposes a civil penalty, or fine, related to the alleged violation. Citations or orders may be contested and appealed, and as part of that process, are often reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed.

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the Corporation is required to present information regarding certain mining safety and health citations which MSHA has issued with respect to its aggregates mining operations in its periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In evaluating this information, consideration should be given to factors such as: (i) the number of citations and orders will vary depending on the size of the quarry or mine and types of operations (underground or surface), (ii) the number of citations issued will vary from inspector to inspector and location to location, and (iii) citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and in that process, may be reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed.

The Corporation has provided the information below in response to the SEC’s rules and regulations issued under the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The disclosures reflect U.S. mining operations only, as the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act and the SEC rules and regulations thereunder do not apply to the Corporation’s quarries and mines operated outside the United States.

The Corporation presents the following items regarding certain mining safety and health matters for the three months ended March 31, 2014:

 

    Total number of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a mine safety or health hazard under section 104 of the Mine Act for which the Corporation has received a citation from MSHA (hereinafter, “Section 104 S&S Citations”). If MSHA determines that a violation of a mandatory health or safety standard is likely to result in a reasonably serious injury or illness under the unique circumstance contributed to by the violation, MSHA will classify the violation as a “significant and substantial” violation (commonly referred to as a “S&S” violation). MSHA inspectors will classify each citation or order written as a “S&S” violation or not.


    Total number of orders issued under section 104(b) of the Mine Act (hereinafter, “Section 104(b) Orders”). These orders are issued for situations in which MSHA determines a previous violation covered by a Section 104(a) citation has not been totally abated within the prescribed time period, so a further order is needed to require the mine operator to immediately withdraw all persons (except authorized persons) from the affected area of a quarry or mine.

 

    Total number of citations and orders for unwarrantable failure of the mine operator to comply with mandatory health or safety standards under Section 104(d) of the Mine Act (hereinafter, “Section 104(d) Citations and Orders”). These violations are similar to those described above, but the standard is that the violation could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a safety or health hazard, but the conditions do not cause imminent danger, and the MSHA inspector finds that the violation is caused by an unwarranted failure of the operator to comply with the health and safety standards.

 

    Total number of flagrant violations under section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act (hereinafter, “Section 110(b)(2) Violations”). These violations are penalty violations issued if MSHA determines that violations are “flagrant”, for which civil penalties may be assessed. A “flagrant” violation means a reckless or repeated failure to make reasonable efforts to eliminate a known violation of a mandatory health or safety standard that substantially and proximately caused, or reasonably could have been expected to cause, death or serious bodily injury.

 

    Total number of imminent danger orders issued under section 107(a) of the Mine Act (hereinafter, “Section 107(a) Orders”). These orders are issued for situations in which MSHA determines an imminent danger exists in the quarry or mine and results in orders of immediate withdrawal of all persons (except certain authorized persons) from the area of the quarry or mine affected by its condition until the imminent danger and the underlying conditions causing the imminent danger no longer exist.

 

    Total dollar value of proposed assessments from MSHA under the Mine Act. These are the amounts of proposed assessments issued by MSHA with each citation or order for the time period covered by the reports. Penalties are assessed by MSHA according to a formula that considers a number of factors, including the mine operator’s history, size, negligence, gravity of the violation, good faith in trying to correct the violation promptly, and the effect of the penalty on the operator’s ability to continue in business.

 

    Total number of mining-related fatalities. Mines subject to the Mine Act are required to report all fatalities occurring at their facilities unless the fatality is determined to be “non-chargeable” to the mining industry. The final rules of the SEC require disclosure of mining-related fatalities at mines subject to the Mine Act. Only fatalities determined by MSHA not to be mining-related may be excluded.


    Receipt of written notice from MSHA of a pattern (or a potential to have such a pattern) of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of other mine health or safety hazards under Section 104(e) of the Mine Act. If MSHA determines that a mine has a “pattern” of these types of violations, or the potential to have such a pattern, MSHA is required to notify the mine operator of the existence of such a thing.

 

    Legal actions before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commissions pending as of the last day of period.

 

    Legal actions before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commissions initiated during period.

 

    Legal actions before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commissions resolved during period.

The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (the “Commission”) is an independent adjudicative agency that provides administrative trial and appellate review of legal disputes arising under the Mine Act. The cases may involve, among other questions, challenges by operators to citations, orders and penalties they have received from MSHA, or complaints of discrimination by miners under Section 105 of the Mine Act. Appendix 1 shows, for each of the Corporation’s quarries and mines identified, as of March 31, 2014, the number of legal actions pending before the Commission, along with the number of legal actions initiated before the Commission during the quarter as well as resolved during the quarter. In addition, Appendix 1 includes a footnote to the column for legal actions before the Commission pending as of the last day of the period, which footnote breaks down that total number of legal actions pending by categories according to the type of proceeding in accordance with various categories established by the Procedural Rules of the Commission.
