The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. These 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, 2010.

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 the Corporation’s unvested restricted stock awards and incentive stock awards. 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. The diluted per-share computations reflect a change in the number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

2. Business Combinations and Discontinued Operations

Business Combinations

In May 2011, the Corporation purchased the remaining 1% interest in an existing limited liability company for $10,394,000. The purchase of the remaining interest represents an equity transaction. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities related to the noncontrolling interest continued to be valued at their basis at the transaction date; the noncontrolling interest of $3,439,000 was eliminated; additional paid-in capital was reduced by $3,737,000 for the excess of the cash paid, including transaction costs, over the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date; and a deferred tax asset of $3,218,000 was recorded. The purchase price and the payment of transaction costs have been classified as a financing activity in the Corporation’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

In June 2011, the Corporation acquired the construction assets of six aggregates quarries, two ready mixed concrete plants and an asphalt plant, all of which are located in western San Antonio, Texas. The operating results of the acquired locations are reported through the Corporation’s West Group in the financial statements starting from the date of acquisition. This transaction provides over 200 million tons of high-quality limestone reserves and complements the Corporation’s existing integrated presence in this high-growth market.

Divestitures and Permanent Closures

Operations that are disposed of or permanently shut down represent discontinued operations, and, therefore, the results of their operations through the dates of disposal and any gain or loss on disposals are included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of earnings. All discontinued operations relate to the Aggregates business.

Discontinued operations included the following net sales, pretax gain or loss on operations, income tax benefit or expense and overall net earnings or loss:

5. Long-Term Debt (continued)

 

Borrowings under the Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities bear interest, at the Corporation’s option, at rates based upon LIBOR or a base rate, plus, for each rate, a margin determined in accordance with a ratings-based pricing grid. The base rate is defined as the highest of (i) JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A.’s prime lending rate, (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1%.

The Revolving Facility expires on March 31, 2015, with any outstanding principal amounts, together with interest accrued thereon, due in full on that date. At June 30, 2011, the Corporation had borrowings of $60,000,000 outstanding under the Revolving Facility.

On March 31, 2011, the Corporation borrowed $250,000,000 under the Term Loan Facility, a portion of which was used to prepay the $111,750,000 Term Loan due 2012. The Corporation is required to make annual principal payments of $5,000,000, with the remaining outstanding principal, together with interest accrued thereon, due in full on March 31, 2015.

On March 31, 2011, the Corporation entered into the Second Amendment to Account Purchase Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., which amended its $100,000,000 secured accounts receivable credit facility (the “AR Credit Facility”). As amended, purchases and settlements will be made monthly. Additionally, as amended, borrowings under the AR Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 1.35%. Borrowings under the AR Credit Facility are limited based on the balance of the Corporation’s accounts receivable.

On April 1, 2011, the Corporation borrowed $100,000,000 under the AR Credit Facility, which in addition to proceeds from the Term Loan Facility, was used to repay $242,140,000 of 6.875% Notes that matured on that date. At June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Corporation had borrowings of $100,000,000 and $25,000,000 outstanding under the AR Credit Facility. The Corporation had no outstanding borrowings under the AR Credit Facility at December 31, 2010.

The Credit Agreement and the AR Credit Facility, as amended, require 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 3.5x 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 maintains specified ratings on its long-term unsecured debt 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 AR Credit Facility, consolidated debt, including debt guaranteed by the Corporation, 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.

5. Long-Term Debt (continued)

 

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, 2011, the Corporation recognized $239,000 and $474,000, respectively, as additional interest expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation recognized $223,000 and $441,000, 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 $1,000,000 until the maturity of the 6.6% Senior Notes in 2018.

 

6. Financial Instruments

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

Temporary cash investments are placed primarily in money market funds and Eurodollar time deposits with the following financial institutions: Bank of America, N.A., Branch Banking and Trust Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Regions Financial Corporation 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, Georgia, Iowa and Louisiana which accounted for approximately 55% of the Aggregate business’ 2010 net sales). The estimated fair values of customer receivables approximate their carrying amounts.

Notes receivable are not publicly traded. However, using current market interest rates, but excluding adjustments for credit worthiness, if any, management estimates that the fair value of notes receivable approximates the carrying amount.

The bank overdraft represents the float of outstanding checks. The estimated fair value of the bank overdraft approximates its carrying value.

The carrying values and fair values of the Corporation’s long-term debt were $1,085,915 and $1,053,281, respectively at June 30, 2011; $1,030,759 and $1,051,704, respectively, at December 31, 2010; and $1,056,085 and $1,106,140, respectively at June 30, 2010. The estimated fair value of the Corporation’s publicly registered long-term notes and debentures was estimated based on quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of other borrowings approximates its carrying amount.

 

7. Income Taxes

Income tax benefit/expense reported in the Corporation’s consolidated statements of earnings includes income tax benefit/expense on earnings attributable to both the Corporation and its noncontrolling interests.

 

     Six Months Ended June 30,  
     2011     2010  

Estimated effective income tax rate:

    

Continuing operations

     26.9     29.4
                

Discontinued operations

     26.2     28.3
                

Consolidated overall

     26.9     29.4
                

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 depletion allowances for mineral reserves 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.

The consolidated overall estimated effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 included the following discrete events: resolution of a federal tax and interest overpayment of $1,730,000 related to the 2006 tax year and an agreed-upon refund of $1,060,000 for the double taxation of the Corporation’s wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary for the 2001 and 2002 tax years.

The change in the year-to-date consolidated overall estimated effective income tax rate during the second quarter of 2010, when compared with the year-to-date consolidated overall estimated effective income tax rate as of March 31, 2010, decreased consolidated net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2010 by $5,436,000, or $0.12 per diluted share.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

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.

9. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Corporation settled legal proceedings relating to its Greenwood, Missouri, operation for approximately $7,000,000. In connection with the settlement, the Corporation reversed the excess of the established legal reserve, thereby increasing net earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 by $2,751,000, or $0.06 per diluted share.

Guarantee of Affiliate

In July 2010, the Corporation entered into a reimbursement and indemnification agreement with Fifth Third Bank (“Fifth Third”) to guarantee the repayment of amounts borrowed by an affiliate under a $20,000,000 revolving line of credit provided by Fifth Third and a guaranty agreement with Bank of America, N.A., to guarantee $12,400,000 of payment obligations of its affiliate under equipment lease agreements. The affiliate agreed to reimburse and indemnify the Corporation for any payments and expenses the Corporation may incur from these agreements. The Corporation holds a subordinate lien of the affiliate’s assets as collateral for potential payments under the agreements. On April 8, 2011, the affiliate converted its equipment leasing agreements with Bank of America, N.A. to a five-year $6,200,000 amortizing loan and the Corporation executed a reaffirmation of guaranty with respect to such loan. On July 20, 2011, the affiliate’s $20,000,000 revolving line of credit was increased to $24,000,000. Additionally, the reimbursement and indemnification agreement related to this line of credit was terminated and replaced by an unconditional guaranty of payment from the Corporation. The affiliate restated its reimbursement and indemnity obligations to the Corporation, and the Corporation retained its subordinate lien on the assets of the affiliate.

 

10. Business Segments

The Corporation conducts its aggregates operations through three reportable business segments: Mideast Group, Southeast Group and West Group. The Corporation also has a Specialty Products segment that includes magnesia-based chemicals products and dolomitic lime. These segments are consistent with the Corporation’s current management reporting structure.

The following tables display selected financial data for continuing operations for the Corporation’s reportable business segments.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2011

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

OVERVIEW Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the “Corporation”), conducts its operations through four reportable business segments: Mideast Group, Southeast Group, West Group (collectively, the “Aggregates business”) and Specialty Products. The Corporation’s annual net sales and earnings are predominately derived from its Aggregates business, which processes and sells granite, limestone, and other aggregates products from a network of 284 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, environmental, utility and agricultural industries. The Specialty Products segment produces magnesia-based chemicals products used in industrial, agricultural and environmental applications and dolomitic lime sold primarily to customers in the steel industry.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Corporation outlined its critical accounting policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2011. There were no changes to the Corporation’s critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Except as indicated, the following comparative analysis in the Results of Operations section of 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. The Corporation’s heritage aggregates product line excludes volume and pricing data for acquisitions that have not been included in prior-year operations for the comparable period and divestitures.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the ratios as percentages of total revenues to percentages of net sales (dollars in thousands):

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2011

(Continued)

 

Despite a continuing difficult operating environment, the Corporation was able to increase prices and control costs. Specifically, in the quarter ended June 30, 2011, aggregates pricing momentum continued with a 2.6% increase in the average selling price of the Corporation’s heritage aggregates product line. The quarter was, unfortunately, challenged by erratic weather, as well as reduced spending on infrastructure projects. Therefore, as has been the case in the recent past, volumes were significantly lower, and that had an attendant negative effect on the Corporation’s operating profits.

Aggregates shipments were hindered by a slowing of overall United States construction activity during the first half of 2011, as well as severe weather patterns, which, of course, is a noncontrollable and significant variable. For example, during the second quarter, several Midwest states, including Iowa, Indiana and Ohio, recorded the wettest April in more than a century. These record levels of rainfall led to the flooding of the Mississippi River in April and May, restricting production and shipments in several of the Corporation’s southeastern operations. This extreme weather contributed to the 9% decline in heritage aggregates shipments for the quarter.

Shipments to the infrastructure end-use market, accounting for more than half of the Corporation’s Aggregates business, were down 11% for the quarter. In addition to weather disruptions, the lack of a long-term surface transportation bill and the winding down of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“ARRA”), or Stimulus, projects in certain states continues to negatively affect investment in transportation construction. While the investment for the nation as a whole has declined, year-to-date contract lettings in certain states, including Florida, Iowa and Texas, have increased over the first half of 2010.

Although the Corporation continues to expect strong volumes to the energy sector for the full year, shipments to this industry declined from the prior-year quarter, which led to an overall 9% reduction in the Corporation’s nonresidential shipments. The ChemRock/Rail end-use market declined 3% and the residential end-use market decreased 6%.

Supported by the volume stability achieved in 2010, average selling prices for the aggregates product line grew in each of the Corporation’s reportable groups, led by a 6.8% increase for the Southeast Group. More importantly, average selling price increased in nearly all geographic markets despite volume declines. Management continues to believe pricing increases are sustainable for the remainder of the year.

(4) Divestitures include the tons related to divested aggregates product line operations up to the date of divestiture.

The Aggregates business is significantly affected by seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions. Aggregates production and shipment levels coincide 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 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. Because of the potentially significant impact of weather on the Corporation’s operations, second-quarter results are not indicative of expected performance for other interim periods or the full year.

The Specialty Products business enjoyed strong demand in both the chemicals and dolomitic lime product lines and established new quarterly records for net sales and earnings from operations. Net sales of $49.6 million increased 3.6% increase over the prior-year quarter. Earnings from operations of $19.3 million reflect management’s continued focus on cost control and represents a 380-basis-point improvement in the business’ operating margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) over the prior-year quarter. While management expects strong performance from this business segment for the remainder of the year, prospective prior-year comparisons will be versus record 2010 quarterly performance.

The Corporation continues to see the benefit of cost savings initiatives and prudent capital investment. Direct production costs in the heritage aggregates product line were down 2.5%, despite a 13% increase in noncontrollable energy costs. Diesel fuel remains the single largest component of the Corporation’s energy costs. For the quarter, diesel costs averaged $3.08 per gallon compared with $2.12 in the prior-year quarter. The increase in diesel expense for the quarter lowered earnings per diluted share by $0.06. Cost decreases in repairs, contract services and depreciation more than offset the increase in energy for the Corporation’s heritage operations. However, consolidated cost of sales increased 1.6% due to higher raw material costs for liquid asphalt and an increase in embedded freight costs.

The Corporation’s gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) for the three months ended June 30 decreased 400 basis points to 22.6% in 2011. The following presents a rollforward of the Corporation’s gross profit (dollars in thousands):

Among other items, other operating income and expenses, net, includes gains and losses on the sale of assets; gains and losses related to customer accounts receivable; rental, royalty and services income; and the accretion and depreciation expenses related to asset retirement obligations. For the second quarter, consolidated other operating income and expenses, net, was an expense of $1.8 million in 2011 compared with income of $6.5 million in 2010. In addition to higher gains on sales of assets, second quarter 2010 other operating income and expenses, net, included the settlement of legal proceedings relating to the Corporation’s Greenwood, Missouri, operation for less than its established legal reserve, which increased other operating income for the West Group by $5.0 million.

Interest expense was $13.7 million for the second quarter 2011 as compared with $16.8 million for the prior-year quarter. The decrease was due to a higher mix of variable-rate debt which currently bears a lower interest rate than the Corporation’s fixed-rate debt.

In addition to other offsetting amounts, other nonoperating income and expenses, net, are comprised generally of interest income and net equity earnings from nonconsolidated investments. Consolidated other nonoperating income and expenses, net, for the quarter ended June 30, was an expense of $0.3 million in 2011 compared with an expense of $1.3 million in 2010, primarily as a result of a higher loss on foreign currency transactions in 2010.

Six Months Ended June 30

Notable items for the six months ended June 30, 2011 (all comparisons are versus the prior-year period):

 

 

Net sales of $733.0 million, down 0.7%

 

 

Heritage aggregates product line pricing up 1.8% and volume down 6.2%

 

 

Specialty Products record net sales of $98.7 million and record earnings from operations of $34.4 million

 

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses down $6.2 million, or 80 basis points as a percentage of net sales

 

 

Consolidated operating margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) of 7.8% compared with 10.5%

 

 

Earnings per diluted share of $0.39 compared with $0.65

Specialty Products’ net sales were $98.7 million for the first six months of 2011 compared with $89.6 million for the prior-year period. The increase in net sales is due to volume growth in all major product lines. Earnings from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $34.4 million compared with $28.0 million for the prior-year period.

Direct production costs and nonproduction costs for the Aggregates business increased during the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to increased diesel expense, higher raw material costs for liquid asphalt and an increase in embedded freight costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses declined $6.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to lower personnel costs related to stock-based compensation and lower pension costs.

For the six months ended June 30, consolidated other operating income and expenses, net, was income of $0.2 million in 2011 compared with income of $7.6 million in 2010. During 2010, the Corporation settled legal proceedings relating to its Greenwood, Missouri, operation for less than its established legal reserve, which increased other operating income for the West Group by $5.0 million.

Consolidated interest expense was $31.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with $34.4 million for the prior-year period. The decrease was due to a higher mix of variable-rate debt which currently bears a lower rate of interest compared with the Corporation’s fixed-rate debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $56.7 million compared with $86.3 million for the same period in 2010. Operating cash flow is primarily from consolidated net earnings or loss, before deducting depreciation, depletion and amortization, offset by working capital requirements. The reduction in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months of 2011 as compared with the year-earlier period is primarily due to lower consolidated net earnings and a $3.1 million build in inventories in 2011 compared with a $12.9 million inventory reduction in 2010. Days sales outstanding was 44 days, essentially flat with 2010.

The seasonal nature of the construction aggregates business impacts quarterly operating cash flow when compared with the year. Full year 2010 net cash provided by operating activities was $269.8 million, compared with $86.3 million for the first six months of 2010.

Capital expenditures, exclusive of acquisitions, for the first six months were $58.7 million in 2011 and $68.6 million in 2010. In May 2011, the Corporation initiated construction of a $53 million dolomitic lime kiln at its Specialty Products location in Woodville, Ohio. This project is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2012. The Corporation also opened an aggregates sales yard near Tampa, Florida adding to its rail-distribution network and serving the Tampa and Lakeland, Florida markets. Full-year capital spending for 2011 is expected to be approximately $155 million, including the Hunt Martin Materials joint venture but exclusive of acquisitions. Comparable full-year capital expenditures were $135.9 million in 2010.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Corporation acquired six aggregates facilities, as well as, several asphalt and ready mixed concrete operations in western San Antonio, Texas. This transaction provides over 200 million tons of high-quality limestone reserves and complements the Corporation’s existing integrated presence in this high-growth market. Over the past five years, San Antonio’s population and economic growth have consistently outperformed comparable national results with population growth of 13%.

On March 31, 2011, the Corporation entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Branch Banking and Trust Company, SunTrust Bank, and Bank of America, N.A., as Co-Syndication Agents, and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $250 million senior unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $350 million four-year senior unsecured revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”, and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities”). On March 31, 2011, the Corporation borrowed $250 million under the Term Loan Facility, a portion of which was used to prepay outstanding borrowings of $111.8 million on the Term Loan due 2012. These borrowings were still outstanding at June 30, 2011. Additionally, at June 30, 2011, the Corporation had outstanding borrowings of $60 million on its Revolving Facility, which the Corporation currently has the ability and intent to maintain outstanding for longer than twelve months.

Additionally, on March 31, 2011, the Corporation entered into the Second Amendment to Account Purchase Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., which amended its $100 million secured accounts receivable credit facility (the “AR Credit Facility”). As amended, purchases and settlements will be made monthly. Additionally, as amended, borrowings under the AR Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 1.35%. Borrowings under the AR Credit Facility are limited based on the balance of the Corporation’s accounts receivable.

On April 1, 2011, the Corporation borrowed $100 million under the AR Credit Facility, which, in addition to proceeds from the Term Loan Facility, was used to repay $242.1 million of 6.875% Notes that matured on that date. At June 30, 2011, the Corporation had borrowings of $100 million outstanding under the AR Credit Facility. Management currently intends to maintain $100 million of outstanding borrowings on its AR Credit Facility until its expiration on April 20, 2012.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Corporation purchased the remaining interest in a limited liability company for $10.4 million.

The Corporation can repurchase its common stock through open-market purchases pursuant to authority granted by its Board of Directors. The Corporation did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Management currently has no intent to repurchase any shares of its common stock. At June 30, 2011, 5,042,000 shares of common stock were remaining under the Corporation’s repurchase authorization.

The Credit Agreement and the AR Credit Facility, as amended, require 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 3.5x 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 maintains specified ratings on its long-term unsecured debt and the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 3.75x. Additionally, if there are no amounts outstanding under both the Revolving Facility and the AR Credit Facility, consolidated debt, including debt guaranteed by the Corporation, 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 (hereinafter, “net debt”).

The Ratio is calculated as net debt, including debt guaranteed by the Corporation, 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 items and noncash items, if they occur, can affect the calculation of consolidated EBITDA.

At June 30, 2011, the Corporation’s ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, as defined, for the trailing twelve months EBITDA was 3.09 times and was calculated as follows (dollars in thousands):

In the event of a default on the leverage ratio, the lenders can terminate the Credit Agreement and AR Credit 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, are 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, 2011, the Corporation had $288 million of unused borrowing capacity under its Revolving Facility, subject to complying with the Ratio, and no available borrowings on its AR Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement expires on March 31, 2015 and the AR Credit Facility terminates on April 20, 2012.

The Corporation may be required to obtain financing in order to fund certain strategic acquisitions, if any such opportunities arise, or to refinance outstanding debt. Any strategic acquisition of size would require an appropriate balance of newly-issued equity with debt in order to maintain an investment-grade credit rating. The Corporation is exposed to the credit markets, through the interest cost related to its variable rate debt, which includes borrowings under its Revolving Facility, Term Loan Facility and AR Credit Facility, and the interest cost related to its commercial paper program, to the extent that it is available to the Corporation. The Corporation’s credit ratings are investment-grade level and, on April 28, 2011, Standard & Poor’s reaffirmed its BBB+ corporate credit rating and revised its outlook on the Corporation’s long-term rating to stable. While management believes its credit ratings will remain at an investment-grade level, no assurance can be given that these ratings will remain at those levels.

Contractual Obligations

At June 30, 2011, the Corporation’s contractual obligations, including interest, related to its Term Loan Facility were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Management currently intends to maintain $100 million of outstanding borrowings on its AR Credit Facility until its expiration on April 20, 2012 and $60 million of outstanding borrowings on its Revolving Facility for longer than twelve months.

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, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2011. Management continues to evaluate its exposure to all operating risks on an ongoing basis.

OUTLOOK

A variety of factors outside of the Corporation’s control will continue to affect its performance. One consideration will be the rate at which states spend available Stimulus funds for infrastructure projects, which is often dependent on federal funding. In addition, Congress has previously approved a continuing resolution that extends the Safe, Accountable, Flexible and Efficient Transportation Equity Act – A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) through September 30, 2011, and recent discussions in Washington have led to a reprioritization of federal funds. Thus, while there is bipartisan Congressional agreement that infrastructure is a key and essential governmental priority, there is heightened sensitivity with respect to all government spending due to the national deficit.

Another factor complicating the Corporation’s outlook is the pace of residential construction activity. Although national forecasts earlier in the year predicted stabilization and improvements in the overall housing market, the United States Census reported the seasonally-adjusted value of residential construction put in place declined 6.9% during the first five months of 2011. Economists are now divided over the timing of recovery in residential construction; however, management continues to believe that when recovery in this sector begins, the Corporation can expect a notable volume impact.

Given this uncertainty, the Corporation’s 2011 outlook assumes there will be additional continuing resolutions to maintain current federal funding levels but the magnitude of the levels are uncertain. Management also expects states’ spending on infrastructure should remain relatively constant and at least 25% of ARRA infrastructure funds will be spent this year. However, the uncertainty created by the lack of a long-term highway bill is affecting the nature and timing of projects with a shift towards maintenance projects that tend to be shorter in duration. This shift in project mix, coupled with the uncertainty in long-term funding, creates the possibility that the Corporation may not recover first-half shipments delayed due to weather during the remainder of the year. Management expects the infrastructure end-use market to be down in the mid-single digit range. Management anticipates a modest volume recovery in the commercial component of the Corporation’s nonresidential end-use market. Considering the notable aggregates shipments to the energy sector in 2010 and the impact weather has had on these projects through the first half of 2011, management expects the rate of growth in the heavy industrial component of the Corporation’s nonresidential end-use market to moderate in 2011. Natural gas prices, the timing of lease commitments for oil and natural gas companies and stable weather will be significant factors for energy-sector activity in the second half of 2011. Overall, management expects nonresidential end-use shipments in 2011 to be flat to slightly up. Management expects the rate of improvement in the residential end-use market to increase over 2010. Finally, the Corporation’s ChemRock/Rail shipments should be stable compared with 2010 shipments. Cumulatively, management expects aggregates volume for the full year to range from flat to a decrease of 3%.

Rising energy costs have provided an impetus for certain mid-year price increases. For the full year, management expects an increase in aggregates pricing ranging from 2% to 4%. However, such increases may not be uniform throughout the enterprise.

Aggregates production cost per ton in 2011 is expected to range from flat to a slight decrease compared with 2010, despite rising energy costs. The Specialty Products segment should contribute $54 million to $56 million in pretax earnings for 2011, as economic recovery drives industrial demand for magnesia-based chemicals products and continued demand for environmental applications is driven by the United States’ focus on green technology and innovation.

Selling, general and administrative expenses should be lower in 2011, primarily due to lower pension expense. Interest expense should be approximately $60 million in 2011, or $8 million less than 2010, resulting from the refinancing of $242 million of 6.875% Senior Notes with variable-rate borrowings under the Corporation’s outstanding credit facilities. The Corporation’s effective tax rate is expected to be 26%. Capital expenditures are now forecast at $155 million for 2011, including the first $25 million of the $53 million project in Specialty Products and nearly $50 million for selective high-quality growth projects.

The 2011 estimated outlook includes management’s assessment of the likelihood of certain risk factors that will affect performance. The most significant risk to 2011 performance will be, as previously noted, the United States economy and its impact on construction activity.

Other risks related to the Corporation’s future performance include, but are not limited to: both price and volume and include a recurrence of widespread decline in aggregates pricing; the discontinuance of the federal gasoline tax or other revenue related to infrastructure construction; a greater-than-expected decline in infrastructure construction as a result of continued delays in traditional federal, ARRA, state and/or local infrastructure projects and continued lack of clarity regarding the timing and amount of the federal highway bill; a decline in nonresidential construction; a slowdown in the residential construction recovery; or some combination thereof. Further, increased highway construction funding pressures resulting from either federal or state issues can affect profitability. Currently, nearly all states have general fund budget pressures driven by lower tax revenues. If these pressures negatively affect transportation budgets more than in the past, construction spending could be negatively affected. North Carolina and Texas are among the states experiencing these fiscal pressures, although recent statistics indicate that tax revenues are increasing; these states disproportionately affect the Corporation’s revenue and profitability.

The Corporation’s principal business serves customers in construction aggregates-related markets. This concentration could increase the risk of potential losses on customer receivables; however, payment bonds normally posted on public projects, together with lien rights on private projects, help to mitigate the risk of uncollectible receivables. The level of aggregates demand in the Corporation’s end-use markets, production levels and the management of production costs will affect the operating leverage of the Aggregates business and, therefore, profitability. Production costs in the Aggregates business are also sensitive to energy prices, both directly and indirectly. Diesel and other fuels change production costs directly through consumption or indirectly in the increased cost of energy-related consumables, such as, steel, explosives, tires and conveyor belts. Fluctuating diesel pricing also affects transportation costs, primarily through fuel surcharges in the Corporation’s long-haul distribution network.

Transportation in the Corporation’s long-haul network, particularly barge availability on the Mississippi River system, as well as rail cars and locomotive power to move trains, affects the Corporation’s ability to efficiently transport material into certain markets, most notably Texas, Florida and the Gulf Coast. The Aggregates business is also subject to weather-related risks that

can significantly affect production schedules and profitability. Hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf Coast generally is most active during the third and fourth quarters. Historically, the first and fourth quarters are most adversely affected by winter weather.

Risks to the 2011 outlook include shipment declines as a result of economic events beyond the Corporation’s control. In addition to the impact on nonresidential and residential construction, the Corporation is exposed to risk in its estimated outlook from credit markets and the availability of and interest cost related to its debt.

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 nonresidential and residential construction markets, could decline if companies and consumers are unable to obtain financing for construction projects or if the economic recession causes delays or cancellations to capital projects. Additionally, uncertainty regarding federal highway funding, declining tax revenues and state budget deficits have negatively affected states’ abilities to finance infrastructure construction projects.

Demand in the residential construction market is affected by interest rates. The Federal Reserve kept the federal funds rate at zero percent during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The residential construction market accounted for approximately 7% of the Corporation’s aggregates product line shipments in 2010.

Aside from these inherent risks from within its operations, the Corporation’s earnings are affected also by changes in short-term interest rates as a result of any temporary cash investments, including money market funds and Eurodollar time deposit accounts; any outstanding variable-rate borrowing facilities; and defined benefit pension plans. Additionally, the Corporation’s earnings are affected by energy costs. The Corporation has no counterparty risk.

Variable-Rate Borrowing Facilities. The Corporation has a $600 million Credit Agreement which supports its commercial paper program and a $100 million AR Credit Facility. Borrowings under these facilities and the commercial paper program bear interest at a variable interest rate. A hypothetical 100-basis-point increase in interest rates on outstanding borrowings of $410 million, which is the outstanding balance at June 30, 2011, would increase interest expense by $4.1 million on an annual basis.

Pension Expense. The Corporation’s results of operations are affected by its pension expense. Assumptions that affect this 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, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2011.

FORM 10-Q

For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2011

 

Energy Costs. Energy costs, including diesel fuel, natural gas and liquid asphalt, represent significant production costs for the Corporation. A hypothetical 10% change in the Corporation’s energy costs in 2011 as compared with 2010, assuming constant volumes, would impact annual 2011 pretax earnings by approximately $15.6 million.

Aggregate Risk for Interest Rates and Energy Costs. Pension expense for 2011 was calculated based on assumptions selected at December 31, 2010. Therefore, interest rate risk in 2011 is limited to the potential effect related to the Corporation’s borrowings under variable-rate facilities. The effect of a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 1% on the $410 million of variable-rate borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2011 would increase interest expense on an annual basis by $4.1 million. Additionally, a 10% change in energy costs compared with 2010 would impact annual pretax earnings by $15.6 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2011, 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 June 30, 2011. 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.

Item 5. Other Information.

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 believes the following mine safety disclosures meet the requirements of Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act. However, as of the date of this report, the SEC has not issued final rules and regulations under these provisions; therefore, it is possible that any final rules adopted by the SEC will require disclosures to be presented in a different form. Certain information is provided in response to proposed rules of the SEC issued under these provisions, but the Corporation cannot be assured of what the final rules might be in this regard. The disclosures reflect U.S. mining operations only, as the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act 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, 2011:

 

 

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, “Mine Act Section 104 Significant and Substantial 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.

(Continued)

 

 

Total number of orders issued under section 104(b) of the Mine Act (hereinafter, “Mine Act 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, “Mine Act Section 104(d) Unwarrantable Failure Citations/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, “Mine Act Section 110(b) Flagrant 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, “Mine Act Section 107(a) Imminent Danger 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.

* Only locations that have received violations, citations, orders and/or proposed assessments issued under the Mine Act have been included in this table.

The preceding table lists the total dollar value of proposed assessments from MSHA under the Mine Act for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Some of these assessments were paid by the Corporation during the three-month period in question or have been paid subsequent to June 30, 2011. Other of these assessments have been contested by the Corporation in accordance with its rights and procedures. Some of the assessments may have been reduced in severity or amount, or even dismissed. The total dollar value of all assessments from MSHA under the Mine Act remaining outstanding as of June 30, 2011 was approximately $0.5 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, none of the Corporation’s aggregates quarries or mines received written notice from MSHA of (i) a flagrant violation under section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act; (ii) 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; or (iii) the potential to have such a pattern. 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. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Corporation experienced no fatalities at any of its aggregates quarries or mines.

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. As of June 30, 2011, the Corporation has a total of 48 matters pending before the Commission. This includes legal actions that were initiated prior to the three months ended June 30, 2011 and which do not necessarily relate to the citations, orders or proposed assessments issued by MSHA during such three-month period.
