Business Combinations

In October 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Lehigh Hanson, Inc.’s West Region business (Lehigh West Region) for $2.26 billion. The acquisition was primarily financed using proceeds from the issuance of publicly traded debt. These operations provided a new upstream, materials-led growth platform across several of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing megaregions in California and Arizona. The results from the acquired business are included in the Company’s West Group.

The Company determined fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Although the initial accounting for the business combination has been recorded, these amounts are subject to change during the measurement period, which extends no longer than one year from the consummation date, based on additional reviews, such as asset verification. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company increased the assumed asset retirement obligations liability by $46.6 million, with goodwill increasing by a comparable amount. As of June 30, 2022, the measurement period remains open. Specific accounts subject to ongoing purchase accounting adjustments include, but are not limited to, property, plant and equipment; lease assets and liabilities; goodwill; intangible assets; asset retirement obligations; and other liabilities. Amortization of the goodwill generated by the transaction is deductible for income tax purposes.

In July 2021, the Company acquired assets of Southern Crushed Concrete (SCC) in the Houston area. SCC was a leading producer of recycled concrete, which is principally used as a base aggregates product in infrastructure, commercial and residential construction applications. Although the initial accounting for the business combination has been recorded, the fair values of accrued liabilities, goodwill and intangible assets are subject to change during the measurement period, which remains open as of June 30, 2022. Amortization of the goodwill generated by the transaction is deductible for income tax purposes. The results from the acquired business are included in the Company’s West Group, but are immaterial for pro-forma financial statement disclosures.

In April 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Tiller Corporation (Tiller), a leading aggregates and hot mix asphalt supplier in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, which is one of the largest and fastest-growing midwestern metropolitan areas. The Tiller acquisition complemented the Company’s existing product offerings in the surrounding areas. The Company determined fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the measurement period is closed as of June 30, 2022. Amortization of the goodwill generated by the transaction is deductible for income

tax purposes. The results from the acquired business are included in the Company’s East Group, but are immaterial for pro-forma financial statement disclosures.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations include the cement and California ready-mixed concrete businesses acquired as part of the Lehigh West Region acquisition.

Total cash provided by operating and investing activities for the discontinued operations was $224.2 million, including $235.0 million of proceeds from divestitures and $13.2 million of cash used for capital expenditures, for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Non-cash items related to operating and investing activities for the discontinued operations were immaterial for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Divestitures

On June 30, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the Redding, California cement plant, related cement distribution terminals and 14 California ready mix operations for $235 million in cash. In addition, the Company agreed to sell its interest, for $15 million, in a joint venture that operates a cement distribution terminal. The Company did not record any amortization or depreciation expense related to these businesses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as these were previously classified as assets held for sale.

On April 1, 2022, the Company divested its Colorado and Central Texas ready-mixed concrete operations to Smyrna Ready Mix Concrete LLC. This opportunity optimized the Company’s aggregates-led portfolio and improved its ability to generate more attractive margins over the long term by reducing both business cyclicality and exposure to raw material cost inflation. The transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $151.7 million, which is included in Other operating income, net, and is inclusive of expenses incurred due to the divestiture. The divested operations and the gain on divestiture are all reported in the West Group.
