Organization

Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the Company or Martin Marietta) is engaged principally in the building materials business, including aggregates, cement, ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving product lines, collectively reported as the Building Materials business. The aggregates product line is sold and shipped from a network of more than 270 quarries and distribution facilities in 26 states, Nova Scotia and the Bahamas. The cement, ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving product lines are located in strategic, vertically integrated markets, predominately Texas and Colorado.  Building materials are used for construction of highways and other infrastructure projects, and in the nonresidential and residential construction industries. Aggregates and cement products are also used in the railroad, agricultural, utility and environmental industries.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company reorganized the operations and management reporting structure of its Texas-based aggregates, cement and ready mixed concrete product lines, resulting in a change to its reportable segments.  As a result, the cement product line is reported in the West Group.   The Company’s Building Materials business includes three reportable segments: the Mid-America Group, the Southeast Group and the West Group.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company 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. Other than the adoption of two new accounting standards described below, the Company has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 are not indicative of the results expected for other interim periods or the full year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Share-Based Payment Accounting

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09), which simplifies certain aspects of accounting guidance and requirements for share-based transactions.  ASU 2016-09 requires shares withheld for employees’ income tax obligations to be presented as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows, with retrospective presentation.  For the six-months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reclassified $2,525,000 from operating activities to financing activities on the statement of cash flows.  Additionally, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation transactions are presented as an operating activity with retrospective presentation.  The Company previously presented excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation transactions as a financing activity and, for the six-months ended June 30, 2016, reclassified $3,948,000 to operating activities on the statement of cash flows.  ASU 2016-09 also requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recognized prospectively as income tax benefits or expense in the period awards vest or are exercised.  For the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized excess tax benefits of $2,989,000 and $5,259,000, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (ASU 2017-07), which revises the financial statement presentation for periodic pension and postretirement expense or credit, other than service cost.  ASU 2017-07 requires net periodic benefit cost or credit, with the exception of service cost, to be presented retrospectively as nonoperating expense.  As permitted by ASU 2017-07, the Company used the pension and other postretirement benefit plan disclosures for the prior comparative periods as a practical expedient to estimate amounts for retrospective application.  Service cost will remain a component of earnings from operations and represent the only cost of pension and postretirement expense eligible for capitalization, notably in the Company’s inventory standards. The Company early adopted this standard effective January 1, 2017.  For the three-months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reclassified $730,000, $1,728,000 and $648,000 from cost of sales; selling, general and administrative expenses; and other operating income and expenses, respectively, to nonoperating expense.  For the six-months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reclassified $1,346,000, $3,240,000 and $774,000 from cost of sales; selling, general and administrative expenses; and other operating income and expenses, respectively, to nonoperating expense.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition Standard

The FASB issued an accounting standards update that amends the accounting guidance on revenue recognition. The new standard intends to provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improve comparability of revenue recognition practices and improve disclosure requirements. The new standard is effective January 1, 2018 and can be applied on a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. The Company has completed its initial assessment of the provisions of the new standard and, at this time, does not expect the impact to be material to its results of operations and expects to adopt using the full retrospective approach.

Lease Standard

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard, Accounting Codification Standard 842 – Leases, intending to improve financial reporting of leases and to provide more transparency into off-balance sheet leasing obligations.  The guidance requires virtually all leases, excluding mineral interest leases, to be recorded on the balance sheet and provides guidance on the recognition of lease expense and income.  The new standard is effective January 1, 2019 and must be applied on a modified retrospective approach.  The Company is currently assessing the impact of the updated standard on the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes the updated standard will have a material effect on its balance sheet but has not quantified the impact at this time.

Reclassifications

Prior-year information has been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the Company’s current reportable segments and for the adoption of the two accounting pronouncements aforementioned.

Earnings per Common Share

The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share is net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. reduced by dividends and undistributed earnings attributable to certain of the Company’s stock-based compensation. 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 Company’s Board of Directors under certain stock-based compensation arrangements if the conversion is dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the diluted per-share computations reflect a change in the number of common shares outstanding to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

On May 22, 2017, the Company issued $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due in 2020 (the Floating Rate Notes) and $300,000,000 principal amount of 3.450% Senior Notes due in 2027 (the 3.450% Senior Notes, and together with the Floating Rate Notes, the Senior Notes).  The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company.  The 3.450% Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part prior to March 1, 2027 at a make-whole redemption price, or on or after March 1, 2027 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, in either case plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption.  The Floating Rate Notes may not be redeemed prior to their stated maturity date of May 22, 2020.  The Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a rate, reset quarterly, equal to the three-month LIBOR for U.S. dollars plus 0.65% (or 65 basis points).  If a change of control repurchase event, as defined, occurs, the Company will be required to make an irrevocable offer to repurchase all or, at the election of each holder, any part of the Senior Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date of repurchase, unless, in the case of the 3.450% Senior Notes, the Company has exercised its right to redeem such notes in full.

Long-Term Debt (continued)

The Company, through a wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary, has a $300,000,000 trade receivable securitization facility (the Trade Receivable Facility), which matures on September 27, 2017.  Management intends to renew the Trade Receivable Facility beyond September 27, 2017.  The Trade Receivable Facility, with SunTrust Bank, Regions Bank, PNC Bank, N.A., The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, LTD., New York Branch, and certain other lenders that may become a party to the facility from time to time, is backed by eligible trade receivables, as defined, and is limited to the lesser of the facility limit or the borrowing base, as defined, of $422,624,000, $333,302,000 and $391,600,000 at June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively.  These receivables are originated by the Company and then sold to the wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary by the Company.  The Company continues to be responsible for the servicing and administration of the receivables purchased by the wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary.  Borrowings under the Trade Receivable Facility bear interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 0.725%, subject to change in the event that this rate no longer reflects the lender’s cost of lending.  The Trade Receivable Facility contains a cross-default provision to the Company’s other debt agreements.

The Company has a $700,000,000 five-year senior unsecured revolving facility (the Revolving Facility) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T), Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., SunTrust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Co-Syndication Agents, and the lenders party thereto.  The Revolving Facility requires the Company’s ratio of consolidated debt-to-consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), as defined by the Revolving Facility, for the trailing-twelve months (the Ratio) to not exceed 3.50x as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Company may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions during such quarter or the three preceding quarters so long as 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 Company is a co-borrower, may be reduced by the Company’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 Company was in compliance with this Ratio at June 30, 2017.

Available borrowings under the Revolving Facility are reduced by any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company under the Revolving Facility. At June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Company had $2,507,000 of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Facility.

Current maturities of long-term debt and short-term facilities consist of borrowings under the Trade Receivable Facility as well as the current portions of the other notes. The 6.65% Senior Notes, due 2018, have been classified as a noncurrent liability as the Company has the intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis before or at its maturity on April 15, 2018.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss includes the unamortized value of terminated forward starting interest rate swap agreements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized $364,000 and $720,000, respectively, as additional interest expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized $340,000 and $672,000, 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 $1,400,000 until the maturity of the 6.6% Senior Notes in 2018.

Financial Instruments

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

Cash equivalents are placed primarily in money market funds, money market demand deposit accounts and Eurodollar time deposits. The Company’s cash equivalents have original 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.

Accounts receivable are due from a large number of customers, primarily in the construction industry, and are dispersed across wide geographic and economic regions. However, accounts receivable are more heavily concentrated in certain states (namely, Texas, Colorado, North Carolina, Iowa and Georgia). The estimated fair values of accounts receivable approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of the receivables.

Notes receivable are not publicly traded. Management estimates that the fair value of notes receivable approximates the carrying amount due to the short-term nature of the receivables.

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 due to the short-term nature of the overdraft.

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

The carrying values and fair values of the Company’s long-term debt were $1,781,981,000 and $1,885,231,000, respectively, at June 30, 2017; $1,686,189,000 and $1,752,338,000, respectively, at December 31, 2016; and $1,779,217,000 and $1,890,319,000, respectively, at June 30, 2016. The estimated fair value of the 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, was based on Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy using quoted market prices for similar debt instruments, and approximates their carrying amounts as the interest rates reset periodically.  

6.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 26.5%.  The 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 and the domestic production deduction.  For the six months ended June 30, 2017, as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 (see Note 1), the effective income tax rate reflects the excess tax benefit related to the vesting and exercise of stock-based compensation awards, which are treated as discrete events, and had a favorable impact of 210 basis points on the tax rate. As previously stated in Note 1, this requirement of the ASU is prospective and therefore, the prior-year effective income tax rate of 30.4% is not comparable.  

The Company records interest accrued in relation to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, are recorded as operating expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings.

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal and Administrative Proceedings

The Company 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 Company and its subsidiaries, will have a material adverse effect on the overall results of the Company’s operations, its cash flows or its financial position.

Borrowing Arrangements with Affiliate

The Company is a co-borrower with an unconsolidated affiliate for a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit agreement with BB&T Bank. The affiliate has agreed to reimburse and indemnify the Company for any payments and expenses the Company may incur from this agreement. The Company holds a lien on the affiliate’s membership interest in a joint venture as collateral for payment under the revolving line of credit.

In addition, the Company has a $6,000,000 interest-only loan, due December 31, 2019, outstanding from this unconsolidated affiliate as of June 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016.  The interest rate is one-month LIBOR plus 1.75%.

9.

Business Segments

The Building Materials business contains three reportable business segments: Mid-America Group, Southeast Group and West Group. The Company also has a Magnesia Specialties segment.  The Company’s evaluation of performance and allocation of resources are based primarily on earnings from operations. Consolidated earnings from operations include net sales less cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, acquisition-related expenses, net, other operating income and expenses, net, and exclude interest expense, other nonoperating income and expenses, net, and taxes on income. Corporate consolidated loss from operations primarily includes depreciation on capitalized interest, expenses for corporate administrative functions, acquisition-related expenses, net, and other nonrecurring and/or non-operational income and expenses excluded from the Company’s evaluation of business segment performance and resource allocation. All debt and related interest expense is held at Corporate.

The following table displays selected financial data for continuing operations for the Company’s reportable business segments. Total revenues and net sales in the table below, as well as the consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings, exclude intersegment sales which represent net sales from one segment to another segment which are eliminated.

Business Combinations

In the first quarter 2016, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Rocky Mountain Materials and Asphalt, Inc., and Rocky Mountain Premix Inc.  The acquisition provides more than 500 million tons of mineral reserves and expands the Company’s presence along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, home to 80% of Colorado’s population.  The acquired operations are reported through the West Group.  

In July 2016, the Company acquired the remaining interest in Ratliff Ready-Mix, L.P. (Ratliff), which operates ready mixed concrete plants in central Texas.  Prior to the acquisition, the Company owned a 40% interest in Ratliff which was accounted for under the equity method.  The Company was required to re-measure the existing 40% interest to fair value upon closing of the transaction, resulting in a gain of $5,863,000, which was recorded in other nonoperating income in third quarter 2016.  These operations are reported in the West Group.  The Company recorded fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed; however, deferred income taxes and goodwill are subject to change upon review of the seller’s final tax return.

The impact of these acquisitions on the operating results was not considered material; therefore, pro forma financial information is not included.

13.

Pending Acquisition of Bluegrass Materials

On June 26, 2017, the Company announced a definitive agreement to acquire Bluegrass Materials Company (Bluegrass) for $1,625,000,000 in cash.  The purchase price will be increased dollar-for-dollar by any cash on hand held by Bluegrass and decreased by the amount of any outstanding debt of Bluegrass, each as of the closing of the transaction.  Bluegrass is the largest privately held, pure-play aggregates business in the United States and has a portfolio of 23 active sites with more than 125 years of strategically-located, high-quality reserves, in Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Maryland and Kentucky.  These operations complement the Company’s existing southeastern footprint and provides a new growth platform within the southern portion of the Northeast Megaregion.  The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2017

 

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

OVERVIEW

Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the Company or Martin Marietta) is a leading supplier of building materials, including aggregates, cement, ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving (collectively herein referred to as the Building Materials business).  The aggregates product line is sold and shipped from a network of more than 270 quarries and distribution facilities in 26 states, Nova Scotia and the Bahamas.  The cement, ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving product lines are located in strategic, vertically-integrated markets, predominately Texas and Colorado.  The Company’s annual consolidated net sales and earnings from operations are predominately derived from its Building Materials business which sells to all sectors of the public infrastructure, environmental industries, nonresidential and residential construction industries, as well as agriculture, railroad ballast, chemical, utility and other uses.  The Building Materials 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.

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company reorganized the operations and management reporting structure of its Texas-based aggregates, ready mixed concrete and cement product lines, resulting in a change to its reportable segments.  The Company currently conducts its Building Materials business through three reportable business segments: Mid-America Group, Southeast Group and West Group.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company outlined its critical accounting policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. There were no changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Except as indicated, the comparative analysis in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on net sales and cost of sales.  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).  However, gross margin as a percentage of net sales and operating margin as a percentage of net sales represent non-GAAP measures.  The Company presents these ratios calculated based on net sales, as it is consistent with the basis by which management reviews the Company’s operating results. Further, management believes it is consistent with the basis by which investors analyze the Company’s operating results given that freight and delivery revenues and costs represent pass-throughs and have no profit mark-up. The following tables present the calculations of gross margin and operating margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the ratios as percentages of total revenues to percentages of net sales.

Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA) is a widely accepted financial indicator of a company’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness.  EBITDA is not defined by generally accepted accounting principles and, as such, should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings, operating earnings or operating cash flow.  However, the Company’s management believes that EBITDA may provide additional information with respect to the Company’s performance or ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditures or working capital requirements.  Because EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and may vary among companies, the EBITDA presented by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Second-quarter results were negatively affected by significant precipitation, notably in the eastern United States.  All southeastern states experienced precipitation that ranged from the 5th to the 17th wettest second quarters out of the last 123 years.  The impact of the weather partially negated the impact of a broad-based construction recovery.  Employment gains, a catalyst for construction activity, remain strong with 2.2 million jobs created in the United States for the trailing-twelve months ended May 31, 2017.  Further, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Colorado are each ranked in the top ten in job growth.  

For the quarter, shipments to the infrastructure market were relatively flat and comprised 41% of second-quarter aggregates product line volumes, which remains below the Company’s five-year average.  This is attributable to continued under-investment in the nation’s infrastructure and greater private-sector nonresidential and residential investments.  

The nonresidential market represented 32% of second-quarter aggregates product line shipments.  The light nonresidential market, which consists primarily of office and retail construction, increased 3.4% for the quarter; however, heavy nonresidential activity, which includes industrial building as well as energy and energy-related construction, was relatively flat, resulting in a 1.6% increase in overall nonresidential shipments. The Southeast Group reported strong industrial construction growth.  However, in-line with management’s expectations, the West Group reported a decline in nonresidential shipments due to the completion of several large energy-related projects in 2016 that were not immediately replaced in the first half of 2017.

The residential market accounted for 20% of aggregates product line shipments for the second quarter. Volumes to this segment increased 14.8%, driven by continued strength in housing across the Company’s geographic footprint. Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina, key geographies for the Building Materials business, comprised five of the top ten states for single family housing starts as of May 2017.  Additionally, on the metro-level, Dallas, Tampa, Austin, Houston, Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh and Orlando comprised the top eight for single family unit starts.

The ChemRock/Rail market accounted for the remaining 7% of aggregates product line volumes and declined versus the prior-year quarter.

The average selling price by product line for the Building Materials business is as follows:

Solid pricing growth across the product lines and geographies reinforces management’s view of the healthy, underlying demand fundamentals that underpin the Building Materials business.  The cement product line increase further reinforces the underlying positive market conditions in Texas, and additionally, reflects partial realization against the $8.00 per ton price increase effective April 1, 2017.  

The Building Materials business is significantly affected by weather patterns and seasonal changes.  Production and shipment levels for aggregates, cement, ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving materials correlate with general construction activity levels, most of which occur 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. Excessive rainfall, and conversely excessive drought, can also jeopardize shipments, production and profitability in all markets served by the Company.  Because of the potentially significant impact of weather on the Company’s operations, current period and year to date results are not indicative of expected performance for other interim periods or the full year.  

Magnesia Specialties Business

Magnesia Specialties reported second-quarter net sales of $64.6 million compared with $58.9 million, reflecting growth in both the chemicals and lime product lines.  Gross profit for the second quarter was $23.6 million compared to $21.7 million and earnings from operations were $21.1 million compared to $19.3 million.

prior-year quarter.  Earnings from operations for the quarter were $212.9 million compared with $190.8 million in 2016, an increase of 11.5%.  

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. For the second quarter, consolidated other operating income and expenses, net, was income of $9.1 million and $3.5 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The increase reflects a $13.5 million gain on the sale of real estate and $6.1 million of expense, including both cash and stock-based compensation components, related to the pending retirement of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO).  The vesting of the CFO’s shares of restricted stock awards, performance stock awards and stock options will continue on their original vesting schedules, which extend beyond the CFO’s retirement date.  Accordingly, the Company recognized all remaining expense related to the stock-based awards.  

Other nonoperating income and expenses, net, includes pension and postretirement benefit cost, excluding service cost; foreign currency transaction gains and losses; interest; equity adjustments for nonconsolidated affiliates and other miscellaneous income.  For the second quarter, nonoperating income and expenses, net, was income of $5.4 million and $5.0 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively.  

The estimated effective income tax rate for the six months ended was 26.5%, which, as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 (see Note 1), reflects a 210-basis-point favorable impact from excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, which are treated as discrete events effective January 1, 2017.

Significant items for the six months ended June 30, 2017 (unless noted, all comparisons are versus the prior-year period):

 

Consolidated net sales of $1.79 billion increased 8.4% compared with $1.65 billion

 

Building Materials net sales of $1.66 billion compared with $1.53 billion, an increase of 8.4%, and Magnesia Specialties net sales of $127.8 million compared with $118.4 million, an increase of 8.0%

 

Consolidated gross profit of $421.2 million compared with $392.7 million, an increase of 7.3%

 

Earnings per diluted share of $2.91 compared with $2.60, an increase of 11.9%

 

EBITDA of $440.0 million compared with $419.1 million, an increase of 5%

Consolidated SG&A expenses were 7.7% of net sales, up 50 basis points compared with the prior-year period, driven by higher incentive compensation, including share-based compensation and increased charitable support.

For the first six months, consolidated other operating income and expenses, net, was income of $8.8 million and $2.9 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The increase in 2017 over 2016 reflects a $13.5 million gain on the sale of real estate and a $6.1 million expense related to the pending retirement of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO).  The vesting of the CFO’s shares of restricted stock awards, performance stock awards and stock options will continue on their original vesting schedules, which extend beyond the CFO’s retirement date.  Accordingly, the Company recognized all remaining expense related to the stock-based awards.

Consolidated other nonoperating income and expenses, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was income of $6.0 million compared with income of $3.8 million in 2016, primarily driven by lower pension expense in 2017.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $229.6 million compared with $209.8 million for the same period in 2016.  Operating cash flow is primarily derived from consolidated net earnings before deducting depreciation, depletion and amortization, and the impact of changes in working capital.  Depreciation, depletion and amortization were as follows:

The seasonal nature of the aggregates-led construction business impacts quarterly operating cash flow when compared with the full year. Full-year 2016 net cash provided by operating activities was $689.2 million compared with $209.8 million for the first six months of 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had capital spending of $216.1 million. Full-year capital spending is expected to approximate $450 million to $500 million.

The Company 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 Company did not make any repurchases of common stock during the second quarter.  At June 30, 2017, 14,669,000 shares of common stock were remaining under the Company’s repurchase authorization.  

On June 26, 2017, the Company announced a definitive agreement to acquire Bluegrass Materials Company (Bluegrass) for $1.625 billion in cash.  The purchase price will be increased dollar-for-dollar by any cash on hand held by Bluegrass and decreased by the amount of any outstanding debt of Bluegrass, each as of the closing of the transaction.  Bluegrass is the largest privately held, pure-play aggregates business in the United States and has a portfolio of 23 active sites with more than 125 years of strategically-located, high-quality reserves, in Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Maryland and Kentucky.  These operations complement the Company’s existing southeastern footprint and provides a new growth platform within the southern portion of the Northeast Megaregion.  The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

On May 22, 2017, the Company issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due in 2020 (the Floating Rate Notes) and $300 million principal amount of 3.450% Senior Notes due in 2027 (the 3.450% Senior Notes, and together with the Floating Rate Notes, the Senior Notes).  The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company.  The 3.450% Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part prior to March 1, 2027 at a make-whole redemption price, or on or after March 1, 2027 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, in either case plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption.  The Floating Rate Notes may not be redeemed prior to their stated maturity date of May 22, 2020.  The Floating Rate Notes bear interest at a rate, reset quarterly, equal to the three-month LIBOR for U.S. dollars plus 0.65% (or 65 basis points).  If

a change of control repurchase event, as defined, occurs, the Company will be required to make an irrevocable offer to repurchase all or, at the election of each holder, any part of the outstanding Senior Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued thereon to, but excluding, the date of repurchase, unless, in the case of the 3.450% Senior Notes, the Company has exercised its right to redeem such notes in full.

The $700 million Revolving Facility requires the Company’s ratio of consolidated debt-to-consolidated 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 Company may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions during the quarter or the three preceding quarters so long as the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 3.75x. Additionally, if there are no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility and the Trade Receivable Facility, consolidated debt, including debt for which the Company is a co-borrower, may be reduced by the Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50 million, such reduction not to exceed $200 million, for purposes of the covenant calculation.

The Ratio is calculated as debt, including debt for which the Company is a co-borrower, divided by consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the Company’s Revolving Facility, 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 items, if they occur, can affect the calculation of consolidated EBITDA.

At June 30, 2017, the Company’s ratio of consolidated debt-to-consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the Company’s Revolving Facility, for the trailing-twelve months was 1.78 times and was calculated as follows:

The Trade Receivable Facility contains a cross-default provision to the Company’s other debt agreements. In the event of a default on the Ratio, the lenders can terminate the Revolving Facility and Trade Receivable Facility and declare any outstanding balances as immediately due.  Outstanding amounts on the Trade Receivable Facility have been classified as a current liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Cash on hand, along with the Company’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 June 30, 2017, the Company had $857.5 million of unused borrowing capacity under its Revolving Facility and Trade Receivable Facility, subject to complying with the related leverage covenant. The Revolving Facility expires on December 5, 2021 and the Trade Receivable Facility expires on September 27, 2017. Management intends to renew the Trade Receivable Facility beyond its expiration.

The 6.65% Senior Notes, due 2018, have been classified as a noncurrent liability as the Company has the intent and ability to refinance on a long-term basis before or at its maturity on April 15, 2018.

The Company 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 incremental to the pending Bluegrass acquisition would likely require an appropriate balance of newly-issued equity with debt in order to maintain a composite investment-grade credit rating. Furthermore, the Company is exposed to the credit markets, through the interest cost related to its variable-rate debt, which included borrowings under its Revolving Facility and Trade Receivable Facility at June 30, 2017 and the obligations in respect of the Floating Rate Notes.  The Company is currently rated at an investment-grade level by all three credit rating agencies.

TRENDS AND RISKS

The Company outlined the risks associated with its business in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.  Management continues to evaluate its exposure to all operating risks on an ongoing basis.

OUTLOOK

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

 

Public sector growth is expected to continue in 2017 as new monies flow into the system.  FAST Act projects should accelerate through the year, supported by ongoing activity funded through Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act.  Additionally, state and local initiatives that support infrastructure funding, including gas tax increases and other ballot initiatives passed over the past 24 months, are expected to grow and continue to play an expanded role in public-sector activity.

 

Nonresidential construction is expected to modestly increase in both the heavy industrial and commercial sectors. The Dodge Momentum Index is at its highest level since 2009, signaling continued growth.  Additional energy-related economic activity, including follow-on public and private construction, will be mixed. While $61.5 billion of new energy-related projects are scheduled to start in 2017 and 2018, the certainty and timing of commencement will affect nonresidential growth.

Residential construction is expected to continue growing, particularly in key Martin Marietta markets, driven by employment gains, historically low levels of construction activity over the previous years, low mortgage rates, higher lot development and higher multi-family rental rates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company’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 Company’s business. Demand for aggregates products, particularly in the infrastructure construction market, is affected by federal and state budget and deficit issues. Further, delays or cancellations of 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 one percent during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The residential construction market accounted for 21% of the Company’s aggregates product line shipments in 2016.

Aside from these inherent risks from within its operations, the Company’s earnings are also affected by changes in short-term interest rates. However, rising interest rates are not necessarily predictive of weaker operating results. Historically, the Company’s profitability increased during periods of rising interest rates.  In essence, the Company’s underlying business generally serves as a natural hedge to rising interest rates.

Variable-Rate Borrowing Facilities. At June 30, 2017, the Company had a $700 million Credit Agreement and a $300 million Trade Receivable Facility. The Company also has $300 million variable-rate senior notes.  Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at a variable interest rate. A hypothetical 100-basis-point increase in interest rates on borrowings of $440.0 million, which was the collective outstanding balance at June 30, 2017, would increase interest expense by $4.4 million on an annual basis.

Pension Expense. The Company’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 Company has interest rate risk associated with these factors. The impact of hypothetical changes in these assumptions on the Company’s annual pension expense is discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Energy Costs. Energy costs, including diesel fuel, natural gas, coal and liquid asphalt, represent significant production costs of the Company.  The cement operations and Magnesia Specialties business have fixed price agreements covering 100% of its 2017 coal requirements.  A hypothetical 10% change in the Company’s energy prices in 2017 as compared with 2016, assuming constant volumes, would change 2017 energy expense by $23.1 million.  

Commodity risk. Cement is a commodity and competition is based principally on price, which is highly sensitive to changes in supply and demand. Prices are often subject to material changes in response to relatively minor fluctuations in supply and demand, general economic conditions and other market conditions beyond the Company’s control. Increases in the production capacity of industry participants or increases in cement imports tend to create an oversupply of such products leading to an imbalance between supply and demand, which can have a negative impact on product prices. There can be no assurance that prices for products sold will not decline in the future or that such declines will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.  Assuming net sales for the cement product line for full-year 2017 of $380 million to $400 million, a hypothetical 10% change in sales price would impact net sales by $38 million to $40 million.

Mr. James A. J. Nickolas

2318 Indian Ridge Drive

Glenview, IL

 

Dear Jim:

 

Based on our recent meetings and dialogue, together with your background and experience, I am pleased to offer you what I believe is an extremely attractive opportunity to join Martin Marietta. This letter sets out the offer terms and a brief position description.

 

Starting on or around August 1, 2017, you will assume the position of Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer to provide exceptional financial leadership for the Company. Based in Raleigh, NC, you will serve as a business partner and strategic advisor to me, the leadership team and the Board of Directors on a wide range of financial, strategic, operational and organizational issues.  You will play a critical role to help increase shareholder value by driving operational and financial goals, helping the business identify and capture revenue growth, operational efficiencies and investment opportunities.  

 

Annual base pay for your first year of employment will be $470,000. You will be paid $19,583.33 on a semi-monthly basis. For all subsequent years, your salary will be determined in accordance with our standard corporate practices and policies in effect from time to time with respect to performance and salary reviews, which are reviewed as of March of each year.

 

Upon hire, the Company will award you a special one-time grant of restricted stock units, pursuant to the terms of a Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, with a grant date fair value equal to three times your annual base salary, or $1,410,000.  These units assume continuous employment through the fifth (5th) anniversary of your hire date, and will vest on the following schedule: a portion with a grant date value of $320,000 will vest on 12/31/2018, a portion with a grant date value of $230,000 will vest on 12/31/2019, and the remaining units will vest immediately following your fifth (5th) year of employment.  However, if you voluntarily terminate employment with the Company, or are terminated for cause, within five (5) years from your hire date, you will be obligated to repay the full award that was distributed in cash the value of the units at the time of their vesting within 30 days of the date of your termination. The remaining portion of the award that has not yet been distributed will be forfeited.

 

 


Mr. James A. J. Nickolas

Following 30 days of employment, the Company will pay you a signing bonus of $100,000, less applicable taxes. This payment is an expression of the Company’s confidence in your ability with the expectation of continued future employment. However, if you voluntarily terminate employment with the Company, or are terminated for cause, within 24 months from your hire date, you will be obligated to repay this one-time bonus within 30 days of the date of your termination.

 

You will participate in our Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (“EIC”) at a target of 75% of your calendar year earnings starting in 2017. Awards under the EIC are paid in cash and are based on (i) the Company’s annual performance and (ii) your performance toward personal goals established each year. Awards under the EIC generally range from 70% to 150% of target. For plan year 2017, contingent upon satisfactory performance, you will receive a minimum of 100% of your target EIC award.

 

Starting in 2018, you will participate in our Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”), under which awards are made in restricted stock units and performance share units. LTIP awards have a target value and grant amount as determined each year by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Management will recommend to the Committee that your target value be 170% of your annual base salary. Forty-five percent (45%) of the award will be granted in restricted stock units, which vest ratably over three years. The remaining fifty-five percent (55%) will be granted in performance share units, which cliff vest in three years subject to the Company’s performance achievements that will be determined for the award.  

 

You will be provided with an Employment Protection Agreement in the same form as other Company executives, which, if triggered by a “change in control,” provides for certain benefits comparable to those provided to other Martin Marietta senior executives.

 

You will be eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans. All employees contribute toward the cost of benefit coverage according to plan terms. Importantly, you will be eligible to participate in the medical and dental plans from your first day of employment.

 

You will be eligible to participate in our retirement plans, which are currently comprised of a defined benefit pension plan and a defined contribution plan. The defined contribution plan is voluntary and provides a matching contribution from the Company for participants.

 

You will be eligible under the Martin Marietta vacation policy for four weeks of paid vacation on an annual basis, which accrues monthly.

 

You will be eligible under the Company’s relocation program for comprehensive reimbursement of moving costs, relocation travel, and temporary housing expense in Raleigh; specific details are included in the Company’s policy HR-7.4a. You will also be paid a

 


Mr. James A. J. Nickolas

relocation allowance equal to two months’ salary that will be grossed up for taxes in accordance with the policy.  A summary of this policy is enclosed.  

Enclosed also is a brochure describing our health and welfare plans and retirement plans available to salaried employees, as well as our Code of Ethical Business Conduct.

 

There are two contingencies. First, you must successfully pass our pre-employment drug screening (to which all our employees are subject). Second, a background check must be concluded to the Company’s satisfaction. Finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t underscore this employment offer should in no way be considered an employment agreement between you and Martin Marietta. Either the Company or you may terminate employment at any time with or without cause.

 

Jim, I know you will want to review this offer thoroughly, but I look forward to your prompt response – and hope then to officially welcome you to our team. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call me or Don McCunniff. Otherwise, please sign where indicated below, keep one original for your files and please return the duplicate to me for our files in Raleigh.

 

 

Sincerely yours,

 

/s/ C. Howard Nye

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 June 30, 2017:

 

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 June 30, 2017, 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.

 

Appendix 1 attached.
