See Appendix to this earnings release for a reconciliation to net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta.

Ward Nye, Chairman and CEO of Martin Marietta, stated, “We are proud to have concluded the first half of 2020 with the highest profitability and best safety performance in Martin Marietta’s history. Our record performance underscores Martin Marietta’s collective commitment to operational excellence and the disciplined execution of our strategic plan as we navigate the uncertainties and economic hardships presented by COVID-19.

“The Company expanded consolidated gross margin by 200 basis points and delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $407 million in the second quarter, driven by pricing momentum and improved cost management across the Building Materials business. We remain confident that our favorable pricing trends will continue, aided in part by the continued success of our locally-driven pricing strategy. We expect our full-year 2020 aggregates pricing to increase 3 percent to 4 percent, slightly below our pre-COVID-19 forecast, largely due to year-over-year geographic and product mix fluctuations.

“Though Martin Marietta, along with many of our customers, has operated as a designated “essential business” through the COVID-19 shutdowns and subsequent phased re-openings, we still experienced impacts from the macroeconomic slowdown. Despite these challenges, product demand trends remained strong across our key geographies, including North Texas and the Front Range of Colorado, two of our leading vertically-integrated markets, driven by attractive customer backlogs and continued construction activity. Customer backlogs are expected to support the Company’s near-term shipment levels, though we currently anticipate an industry-wide decline in product demand over the next few quarters, particularly with the uncertainty of additional U.S. federal economic stimulus actions, as businesses and governments address budget shortfalls. Volume impacts from reduced demand will likely be temporary, gradual and varied by end use and geography. In the medium- and long-term, we remain confident that the underlying demand drivers and fundamental strength of our Top 10 states position the Company to outperform through typical economic cycles.”

Mr. Nye concluded, “Moving forward, we remain focused on the world-class attributes of our business--including, safety, operational excellence and cost management--as well as our proven strategic plan. Martin Marietta is well-positioned geographically and financially and has the benefit of an experienced management team to responsibly navigate through challenging times and drive sustainable long-term growth and shareholder value.”

Building Materials Business

Second-quarter operating results demonstrated the health and resiliency of the Company’s markets and the disciplined execution of its locally-driven pricing strategy. Despite limited impacts from COVID-19, product demand trends remained strong in key Martin Marietta geographies, most notably in North Texas, Colorado and Indiana, as well as Georgia and Florida, the latter two being key states that experienced significant precipitation during the quarter.

Aggregates 

Second-quarter aggregates shipments declined 3.7 percent compared with the prior-year quarter, which benefited from carryover work due to the extraordinarily wet 2018. Pricing improved 3.3 percent due to strong performance across all divisions.

• Mid-America Group shipments decreased 7.2 percent, driven by near-record rainfall across much of its footprint and anticipated lower infrastructure shipments in portions of North Carolina. Geographic mix limited pricing growth to 2.3 percent as the Central Division, which has lower selling prices relative to the consolidated average, contributed a higher percentage of second-quarter shipments to the Group.   
• Shipments for the Southeast Group increased 3.0 percent, as the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) accelerated certain transportation projects to leverage construction efficiencies driven by lower vehicle traffic during the COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders, along with continued strength in warehouse, data center and distribution facility construction. These favorable trends were partially offset by weather-impacted construction delays. Product mix, reflecting a higher percentage of lower-priced base and fines shipments, limited pricing growth to 0.7 percent. 
• West Group shipments decreased 1.0 percent, with double-digit growth in North Texas and Colorado offset by the completion of certain Gulf Coast liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects and reduced energy-sector shipments. Pricing improved 5.5 percent, reflecting favorable product mix.

Martin Marietta’s second-quarter aggregates shipments by end use are as follows (all comparisons are versus the prior-year quarter): 

• Aggregates shipments to the infrastructure market increased modestly. The Company benefited from large transportation projects in Texas, Colorado and Florida, as most state DOTs continued to advance transportation projects during the COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders. However, consistent with expectations prior to COVID-19, North Carolina DOT temporarily suspended awards for certain transportation projects in response to funding issues specific to weather-related disaster spending and Map Act settlements. The infrastructure market accounted for 38 percent of second-quarter aggregates shipments, which is below the Company’s most recent ten-year annual average of 45 percent. 
• Aggregates shipments to the nonresidential market declined following double-digit growth in commercial and heavy industrial construction activity in the prior-year quarter. Precipitation and temporary project delays hindered otherwise robust distribution center, warehouse and data center construction activity. The Company also experienced reduced energy-related shipments due to the completion of certain windfarm and Gulf Coast LNG projects, as well as lower overall demand to the shale sector. The nonresidential market represented 32 percent of second-quarter aggregates shipments.

• Aggregates shipments to the residential market increased, with notable growth throughout Texas, as well as in Denver and Charlotte. Following a brief COVID-19-related pause in activity by national homebuilders, housing construction returned to pre-COVID levels, reflective of pent-up demand, low available inventories and favorable interest rates. The residential market accounted for 24 percent of second-quarter aggregates shipments.  
• The ChemRock/Rail market accounted for the remaining 6 percent of second-quarter aggregates shipments. Volumes to this end use increased, driven by improved ballast shipments to the Class I western railroads.

Aggregates product gross margin expanded 230 basis points to 35.5 percent, an all-time record, largely driven by improved pricing, production efficiencies and lower diesel fuel costs.

Cement

Second-quarter cement shipments decreased 2.7 percent, driven by reduced demand for West Texas oil-well specialty cement products caused by historically low oil prices. While cement pricing increased attractively in North Texas, Houston, and portions of Central Texas, notably lower sales of higher-priced oil-well specialty cement products limited overall pricing growth to 0.1 percent. Cement product gross margin expanded 210 basis points to 39.7 percent driven by improved kiln reliability and lower fuel costs.

Downstream businesses

Ready mixed concrete shipments increased 8.7 percent, excluding second-quarter 2019 shipments from the Southwest Ready Mix Division’s business in the Arkansas, Louisiana and eastern Texas (ArkLaTex) areas that was divested in January 2020. Pricing improved modestly, with increased shipments and pricing contributing to the 270-basis-point product gross margin improvement.

Colorado asphalt shipments increased 34.6 percent versus an extremely weather-challenged prior-year quarter. Asphalt pricing declined 1.4 percent due to unfavorable product mix from a higher percentage of shipments to lower-priced municipal projects. Products and services gross profit of $21.9 million was a second-quarter record.

Magnesia Specialties Business

Magnesia Specialties product revenues decreased 30.6 percent to $48.9 million. Lime and periclase shipments to the steel industry declined in response to the COVID-19-induced shutdown of domestic auto manufacturers. Additionally, domestic and international demand for chemicals products slowed due to COVID-19. Lower revenues led to a 420-basis-point decline in product gross margin to 37.3 percent.

Consolidated

During second-quarter 2020, the Company incurred $3.4 million in COVID-19-related expenses for enhanced cleaning and sanitizing protocols across the Company’s operations, which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

As previously reported, during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company identified a prior-period error that overstated its equity earnings from a nonconsolidated affiliate. The overstatement was deemed immaterial to any previously-reported periods and was therefore corrected as an out-of-period expense of $15.7 million ($12.0 million net of tax) during second-quarter 2019. The pretax noncash adjustment was recorded in other nonoperating expenses, net, consistent with the recurring classification of equity earnings from the affiliate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months ended June 30 was $373.2 million in 2020 compared with $333.7 million for the same period in 2019.

Cash paid for property, plant and equipment additions for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $175.7 million. For the full year, capital expenditures are expected to range from $350 million to $375 million.

The Company repaid $300 million of floating rate notes that matured in May 2020.

The Company had $70.1 million of cash on hand, along with $967.7 million of unused borrowing capacity on its existing credit facilities as of June 30, 2020.  

Commitment to Enhance Long-Term Shareholder Value

Martin Marietta is dedicated to disciplined capital allocation that preserves the Company’s financial flexibility and further enhances shareholder value. The Company’s capital allocation priorities remain unchanged and include value-enhancing acquisitions that promote the successful execution of the Company’s strategic growth plan, organic capital investment and the return of cash to shareholders through meaningful and sustainable dividends and share repurchases.

The Company has returned nearly $1.8 billion to shareholders in the form of dividend payments and share repurchases since announcing a 20 million share repurchase authorization in February 2015. The Company temporarily paused share repurchases in March 2020 in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The potential resumption of repurchase activity remains subject to management’s discretion. As of June 30, 2020, 13.5 million shares remained under the current repurchase authorization and 62.3 million shares of Martin Marietta common stock were outstanding.

Full-Year Outlook

Martin Marietta will reinstate full-year earnings guidance when it has sufficient visibility. At this time, the Company cannot reliably forecast the disruptions to the U.S. economy, the timing and benefits of related governmental stimulus actions and, more specifically, demand for its products and services resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and multiple measures put in place to minimize the spread of the virus. While it has not seen significant disruption thus far, Martin Marietta believes its industry will likely experience lower overall product demand over the next few quarters due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the magnitude of declines and the speed and rate of recovery will vary by construction end-use market and geography and will be influenced by the timing and scope of near-term federal stimulus measures, a longer-term reauthorized infrastructure bill and other governmental actions.

Martin Marietta remains confident that the attractive underlying fundamentals and long-term secular growth trends in our key geographies, both of which underpinned the Company’s record 2019 performance, remain intact and will be evident once again when the U.S. economy stabilizes and recovers.

The Company’s outlook is subject to various risks and uncertainties, and is based on assumptions that the Company believes in good faith are reasonable but which may be materially different from actual results. Factors that the Company currently believes could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this release (including the outlook) include, but are not limited to: the ability of the Company to face challenges, including those posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and implementation of any such related response plans; the recent dramatic increases in COVID-19 cases in the Sunbelt and the extent that geography of outbreak primarily matches the regions in which the Company’s Building Materials business principally operates; the resiliency and potential declines of the Company’s various construction end-use markets; the potential negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s ability to continue supplying heavy-side building materials and related services at normal levels or at all in the Company’s key regions; the duration, impact and severity of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, including the markets in which we do business, our suppliers, customers or other business partners as well as on our employees; the economic impact of government responses to the pandemic; the performance of the United States economy, including the impact on the economy of the COVID-19 pandemic and governmental orders restricting activities imposed to prevent further outbreak of COVID-19; shipment declines resulting from economic events beyond the Company’s control; a widespread decline in aggregates pricing, including a decline in aggregates shipment volume negatively affecting aggregates price; the history of both cement and ready mixed concrete being subject to significant changes in supply, demand and price fluctuations; the termination, capping and/or reduction or suspension of the federal and/or state gasoline tax(es) or other revenue related to public construction; the level and timing of federal, state or local transportation or infrastructure or public projects funding, most particularly in Texas, Colorado, North Carolina, Georgia, Iowa and Maryland; the impact of governmental orders restricting activities imposed to prevent further outbreak of COVID-19 on travel, potentially reducing state fuel tax revenues used to fund highway projects; the United States Congress’ inability to reach agreement among themselves or with the Administration on policy issues that impact the federal budget; the ability of states and/or other entities to finance approved projects either with tax revenues or alternative financing structures; levels of construction spending in the markets the Company serves; a reduction in defense spending and the subsequent impact on construction activity on or near military bases; a decline in the commercial component of the nonresidential construction market, notably office and retail space, including a decline resulting from economic distress related to the COVID-19 pandemic; a decline in energy-related construction activity resulting from a sustained period of low global oil prices or changes in oil production patterns or capital spending in response to this decline, particularly in Texas; increasing residential mortgage rates and other factors that could result in a slowdown in residential construction; unfavorable weather conditions, particularly Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico hurricane activity, the late start to spring or the early onset of winter and the impact of a drought or excessive rainfall in the markets served by the Company, any of which can significantly affect production schedules, volumes, product and/or geographic mix and profitability; whether the Company’s operations will continue to be treated as “essential” operations under applicable government orders restricting business activities imposed to prevent further outbreak of COVID-19 or, even if so treated, whether site-specific health and safety concerns might otherwise require certain of the Company’s operations to be halted for some period of time; the volatility of fuel costs, particularly diesel fuel, and the impact on the cost, or the availability generally, of other consumables, namely steel, explosives, tires and conveyor belts, and with respect to the Company’s Magnesia Specialties business, natural gas; continued increases in the cost of other repair and supply parts; construction labor shortages and/or supply‐chain challenges; unexpected equipment failures, unscheduled maintenance, industrial accident or other prolonged and/or significant disruption to production facilities; increasing governmental regulation, including environmental laws; the failure of relevant government agencies to implement expected regulatory reductions; transportation availability or a sustained reduction in capital investment by the railroads, notably the availability of railcars, locomotive power and the condition of rail infrastructure to move trains to supply the Company’s Texas, Colorado, Florida, Carolinas and the Gulf Coast markets, including the movement of essential dolomitic lime for magnesia chemicals to the Company’s plant in Manistee, Michigan and its customers; increased transportation costs, including increases from higher or fluctuating passed-through energy costs or fuel surcharges, and other costs to comply with tightening regulations, as well as higher volumes of rail and water shipments; availability of trucks and licensed drivers for transport of the Company’s materials; availability and cost of construction equipment in the United States; weakening in the steel industry markets served by the Company’s dolomitic lime products; trade disputes with one or more nations impacting the U.S. economy, including the impact of tariffs on the steel industry; unplanned changes in costs or realignment of customers that introduce volatility to earnings, including that of the Magnesia Specialties business that is running at capacity; proper functioning of information technology and automated operating systems to manage or support operations; inflation and its effect on both production and interest costs; the concentration of customers in construction markets and the increased risk of potential losses on customer receivables; the impact of the level of demand in the Company’s end-use markets, production levels and management of production costs on the operating leverage and therefore profitability of the Company; the possibility that the expected synergies from acquisitions will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period, including achieving anticipated profitability to maintain compliance with the Company’s leverage ratio debt covenant; changes in tax laws, the interpretation of such laws and/or administrative practices that would increase the Company’s tax rate; violation of the Company’s debt covenant if price and/or volumes return to previous levels of instability; downward pressure on the Company’s common stock price and its impact on goodwill impairment evaluations; the possibility of a reduction of the Company’s credit rating to non-investment grade; and other risk factors listed from time to time found in the Company’s filings with the SEC. 

You should consider these forward-looking statements in light of risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020, and other periodic filings made with the SEC. All of our forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these factors. In addition, other risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we consider immaterial could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements, or adversely affect or be material to the Company. The Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
