Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents.

Represents the noncurrent portion of deferred tax liabilities, which result from applying the applicable tax rate to net taxable temporary differences pertaining to each jurisdiction to which the entity is obligated to pay income tax. A noncurrent taxable temporary difference is a difference between the tax basis and the carrying amount of a noncurrent asset or liability in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In a classified statement of financial position, an enterprise separates deferred tax liabilities and assets into a current amount and a noncurrent amount. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting. A deferred tax liability or asset that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting, including deferred tax assets related to carryforwards, are classified according to the expected reversal date of the temporary difference.

Includes currency on hand as well as demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. It also includes other kinds of accounts that have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that the Entity may deposit additional funds at any time and also effectively may withdraw funds at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents, excluding items classified as marketable securities, include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify under that definition. Original maturity means original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months. Compensating balance arrangements that do not legally restrict the withdrawal or usage of cash amounts may be reported as Cash and Cash Equivalents, while legally restricted deposits held as compensating balances against borrowing arrangements, contracts entered into with others, or company statements of intention with regard to particular deposits are not generally reported as cash and cash equivalents. Includes cash and cash equivalents associated with the entity's continuing operations. Excludes cash and cash equivalents associated with the disposal group (and discontinued operation).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine month period ended December 31, 2011 include the accounts of Eagle Materials Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries (the "Company", "us" or "we") and have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2011. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information in the following unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after December 31, 2011 through the filing of these financial statements. See Footnote (L) for discussion of subsequent event. Recent Accounting Pronouncements There are no recent accounting pronouncements that we expect will materially impact our financial statements during the current fiscal year. |

Accounts And Notes Receivable |
Accounts and notes receivable have been shown net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $5.0 million and $4.6 million at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial condition and generally require no collateral from our customers. The allowance for non-collection of receivables is based upon analysis of economic trends in the construction industry, detailed analysis of the expected collectability of accounts receivable that are past due and the expected collectability of overall receivables. We have no significant credit risk concentration among our diversified customer base. We had notes receivable totaling approximately $4.0 million at December 31, 2011, of which approximately $0.6 million has been classified as current and presented with accounts receivable on the balance sheet. We lend funds to certain companies in the ordinary course of business, and the notes bear interest, on average, at LIBOR plus 3.5%. Remaining unpaid amounts, plus accrued interest, mature on various dates between 2011 and 2017. The notes are collateralized by certain assets of the borrowers, namely property and equipment and are generally payable monthly. We monitor the credit risk of each borrower by focusing on the timeliness of payments, review of credit history and credit metrics and interaction with the borrowers. At December 31, 2011, approximately $0.6 million of our allowance for doubtful accounts is related to our notes receivable. |

Stockholders' Equity |
A summary of changes in stockholders' equity follows:
There were no open market share repurchases during the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, we have authorization to purchase an additional 717,300 shares. During January 2012, we determined that our previous treatment of a reversal of a $3.0 million accrual, which related to a prior year, should have been treated as a correction of an error in the prior period rather than a reduction of Cost of Goods Sold during the three month period ended June 30, 2011, as it was previously reported. The accrual was originally recorded in fiscal 2001, and related to expected costs to repair certain manufacturing equipment at our Duke, Oklahoma gypsum wallboard facility. We determined, through review of our records, that we subsequently purchased approximately $3.0 million of new equipment and virtually all the new equipment was fully depreciated at June 30, 2011; therefore, the accrual was no longer necessary. We have restated our Form 10-Qs for the three month periods ended June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011 to reflect this reversal of the $3.0 million accrual as an adjustment to a prior period. This restatement did not impact cash flows from operating activities.

Share-Based Employee Compensation |
On January 8, 2004, our stockholders approved a new incentive plan (the "Plan") that combined and amended the two previously existing stock option plans. In August 2009, our shareholders approved an amendment to the Plan which, among other things, increased the number of shares available for award under the Plan by 3.0 million shares. Under the terms of the Plan, we can issue equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), restricted stock and stock appreciation rights (collectively, the "Equity Awards") to employees of the Company and members of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors specifies the terms for grants of Equity Awards under the Plan. Long-Term Compensation Plans - Options. In June 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an incentive equity award of an aggregate of 352,829 stock options pursuant to the Plan to certain individuals that vest ratably over a three year period (the "Fiscal 2012 Employee Stock Option Grant"). The options have a term of ten years from the date of grant. In August 2011, we granted 121,295 options to members of the Board of Directors (the "Fiscal 2012 Board of Directors Grant"). Options granted under the Fiscal 2012 Board of Directors Grant vested immediately, and can be exercised from the date of grant until their expiration at the end of ten years. The Fiscal 2012 Employee Stock Option Grant and Fiscal 2012 Board of Directors Grant were both valued at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value the option awards in fiscal 2012 are as follows:
Stock option expense for all outstanding stock option awards totaled approximately $0.5 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011, respectively, and $0.3 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2010, respectively. The expense for the nine month period ended December 31, 2011 reflects a credit of $1.3 million resulting from our updated assessment of future compliance with performance conditions associated with certain stock option grants. At December 31, 2011, there was approximately $4.1 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years. The following table represents stock option activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2011:
The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at December 31, 2011:
At December 31, 2011, there was no aggregate intrinsic value for both outstanding and exercisable options. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine month period ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $0.6 million. Restricted Stock Units. Expense related to RSUs was approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2011, there was approximately $2.2 million of unearned compensation from RSUs, net of estimated forfeitures, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. Restricted Stock. In June 2011, the Compensation Committee also approved the granting of an aggregate of 412,164 shares of restricted stock to certain key employees at both the corporate and subsidiary level that will be earned if our ten year average return on invested capital exceeds 12% at March 31, 2012. If this criterion is not met, all of the shares will be forfeited. If the criterion is met, restrictions on the shares will lapse ratably over five years, with the first fifth lapsing immediately, and the remaining restrictions lapsing on March 31, 2013 through 2016. The value of the restricted shares, net of estimated forfeitures, is being expensed over a five year period. Expense related to restricted shares was $0.8 million and $1.9 million for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2011, there was approximately $15.3 million of unearned compensation from restricted stock, net of estimated forfeitures, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 5.2 years. The number of shares available for future stock option, restricted stock unit, stock appreciation right and restricted stock grants under the Plan was 1,739,081 at December 31, 2011. |

Long-Term Debt [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Long-Term Debt |
Long-term debt consists of the following:
On December 16, 2011, we accepted for repurchase $59.1 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series 2007A Senior Notes for $60.2 million, plus accrued interest of $0.3 million, and $29.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series 2005A Senor Notes for $29.6 million, plus accrued interest of $0.4 million. The purchase of the Senior Notes was funded through borrowings under our Bank Credit Facility. The premium paid on these repurchases has been included in Loss on Debt Retirement in our Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011. Bank Credit Facility - On December 16, 2010, we amended our existing credit facility, modifying certain financial and other covenants and extending the maturity date to 2015. The principal balance of the existing facility was repaid, and replaced with a new $300.0 million credit agreement ("the "Bank Credit Facility"). The Bank Credit Facility expires on December 16, 2015. Borrowings under the Bank Credit Facility are guaranteed by all major operating subsidiaries of the Company. At the option of the Company, outstanding principal amounts on the Bank Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to (i) LIBOR, plus an agreed margin (ranging from 100 to 225 basis points), which is to be established quarterly based upon the Company's ratio of consolidated EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, to its consolidated indebtedness, or (ii) an alternative base rate which is the higher of (a) the prime rate or (b) the federal funds rate plus 1/2% per annum plus an agreed margin (ranging from 0 to 125 basis points). Interest payments are payable monthly or at the end of the LIBOR advance periods, which can be up to a period of nine months at the option of the Company. The Bank Credit Facility contains customary covenants that restrict our ability to incur additional debt, encumber our assets, sell assets, make or enter into certain investments, loans or guaranties and enter into sale and leaseback arrangements. The Bank Credit Facility also requires us to maintain a consolidated funded indebtedness ratio (consolidated indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash deductions) of 3.5 or less and an interest coverage ratio (consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash deductions to interest expense) of at least 2.5. The Bank Credit Facility also limits our ability to make certain restricted payments, such as paying cash dividends; however, there are several exceptions to this restriction, including: (i) the Company may pay cash dividends in an aggregate amount of up to $50.0 million each fiscal year; and (ii) the Company may make restricted payments not otherwise permitted so long as no default would result therefrom and our consolidated funded indebtedness ratio does not exceed 3.0.
The Bank Credit Facility has a $50.0 million letter of credit facility. Under the letter of credit facility, the Company pays a fee at a per annum rate equal to the applicable margin for Eurodollar loans in effect from time to time plus a one-time letter of credit fee in an amount equal to 0.125% of the initial stated amount. At December 31, 2011, we had $9.4 million of letters of credit outstanding. We had $206.6 million of borrowings available under the Bank Credit Facility at December 31, 2011. Due to certain covenants contained in the Bank Credit Facility, namely the requirement for our consolidated funded debt ratio to remain at 3.50 to 1.0 or less, and other outstanding debt instruments, approximately $55.0 million in additional borrowings were available to us at December 31, 2011. Senior Notes - We entered into a Note Purchase Agreement on November 15, 2005 (the "2005 Note Purchase Agreement") related to our sale of $200 million of senior, unsecured notes, designated as Series 2005A Senior Notes (the "Series 2005A Senior Notes") in a private placement transaction. The Series 2005A Senior Notes, which are guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries, were sold at par and issued in three tranches on November 15, 2005. Since entering into the 2005 Note Purchase Agreement, we have repurchased an aggregate of $81.1 million in principal of the Series 2005A Senior Notes through December 31, 2011. Following these repurchases, the amounts outstanding for each of the three tranches are as follows:
Interest for each tranche of Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year until all principal is paid for the respective tranche. We entered into an additional Note Purchase Agreement on October 2, 2007 (the "2007 Note Purchase Agreement") related to our sale of $200 million of senior, unsecured notes, designated as Series 2007A Senior Notes (the "Series 2007A Senior Notes") in a private placement transaction. The Series 2007A Senior Notes, which are guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries, were sold at par and issued in four tranches on October 2, 2007. Since entering into the 2007 Note Purchase Agreement, we have repurchased an aggregate of $122.0 million in principal of the Series 2007A Senior Notes through December 31, 2011. Following the repurchase, the amounts outstanding for each of the four tranches are as follows:
Interest for each tranche of Notes is payable semi-annually on April 2 and October 2 of each year until all principal is paid for the respective tranche. Our obligations under the 2005 Note Purchase Agreement and the 2007 Note Purchase Agreement (collectively referred to as the "Note Purchase Agreements") and the Series 2005A Senior Notes and the Series 2007A Senior Notes (collectively referred to as "the Senior Notes") are equal in right of payment with all other senior, unsecured debt of the Company, including our debt under the Bank Credit Facility. The Note Purchase Agreements contain customary restrictive covenants, including covenants that place limits on our ability to encumber our assets, to incur additional debt, to sell assets, or to merge or consolidate with third parties, as well as certain cross covenants with the Bank Credit Facility. We were in compliance with all financial ratios and covenants at December 31, 2011.
Pursuant to a Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, substantially all of our subsidiaries have guaranteed the punctual payment of all principal, interest, and Make-Whole Amounts (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreements) on the Senior Notes and the other payment and performance obligations of the Company contained in the Senior Notes and in the Note Purchase Agreements. We are permitted, at our option and without penalty, to prepay from time to time at least 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes at 100% of the principal amount to be prepaid, together with interest accrued on such amount to be prepaid to the date of payment, plus a Make-Whole Amount. The Make-Whole Amount is computed by discounting the remaining scheduled payments of interest and principal of the Senior Notes being prepaid at a discount rate equal to the sum of 50 basis points and the yield to maturity of U.S. treasury securities having a maturity equal to the remaining average life of the Senior Notes being prepaid. On August 31, 2011, we entered into an Uncommitted Master Shelf Agreement (the "Shelf Agreement") with John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) ("Hancock"). The Shelf Agreement provides the terms under which the Company may offer up to $75 million of its senior unsecured notes for purchase by Hancock or Hancock's affiliates that become bound by the Shelf Agreement (collectively, "Purchasers"). The Shelf Agreement does not obligate the Company to sell, or the Purchasers to buy, any such notes, and has a term of two years. We have not sold any notes pursuant to the Shelf Agreement as of December 31, 2011. |

Commitments And Contingencies |
We have certain deductible limits under our workers' compensation and liability insurance policies for which reserves are established based on the undiscounted estimated costs of known and anticipated claims. We have entered into standby letter of credit agreements relating to workers' compensation and auto and general liability self-insurance. At December 31, 2011, we had contingent liabilities under these outstanding letters of credit of approximately $9.4 million. The following table compares insurance accruals and payments for our operations:
In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications that are standard in the industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as sale of a business. These indemnifications might include claims relating to any of the following: environmental and tax matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships; construction contracts and financial matters. While the maximum amount to which the Company may be exposed under such agreements cannot be estimated, it is the opinion of management that these indemnifications are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We currently have no outstanding guarantees. We are currently contingently liable for performance under $10.3 million in performance bonds required by certain states and municipalities, and their related agencies. The bonds are principally for certain reclamation obligations and mining permits. We have indemnified the underwriting insurance company against any exposure under the performance bonds. In our past experience, no material claims have been made against these financial instruments. The Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") completed the examination of our federal income tax returns for all of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 through 2006. The IRS issued Exam Reports and Notices of Proposed Adjustment on November 9, 2007 for the examination of the 2001, 2002 and 2003 tax years, and on February 5, 2010 for the examination of the 2004, 2005 and 2006 tax years, in which it proposes to deny certain depreciation deductions claimed by us with respect to assets acquired by us from Republic Group LLC in November 2000 (the "Republic Assets"). The examination of our federal income tax return for fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 through March 31, 2011 is currently in progress. In June 2010, we received a Notice of Deficiency ("Notice") of $71.5 million of taxes and penalties for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001 through 2006, inclusive, related to the IRS audit of the Republic Asset Acquisition. The Notice was in substantial agreement with our financial accruals, including interest. The total amount related to the Notice, including interest, was approximately $98.7 million, of which $75 million had previously been deposited with the IRS. We deposited the remaining $23.7 million with the IRS in July 2010 and asked the IRS to apply all $98.7 million of deposits to the payment of the tax, penalties and interest. Subsequent review of the IRS interest billing produced a refund of $0.8 million reducing the net outlay to $97.9 million. Refund claims were filed with the IRS in October 2010 to recover all $97.9 million, plus interest, and we filed a lawsuit in May 2011 in Federal District Court to recover the requested refunds. In the event we reach a settlement through negotiation or in the courts, we will reverse any accrued interest and penalties in excess of the negotiated settlement through the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. At this time, we are unable to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome or how much of the amounts paid for tax, interest, and penalties to the IRS and state taxing authorities will be recovered, if any. Subsequent Event In June 2011, we were served with a claim for arbitration involving a contract dispute between one of our aggregates mining subsidiaries and another mining company over the right to mine certain areas. The mining company which brought this claim mines gold in the same area in which our subsidiary mines aggregates. The dispute centered on two agreements entered into by the parties in 1989 and 1992 that address the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the areas in which both companies mine. In the arbitration, the gold mining company claimed that our subsidiary's operations in a limited area (which are conducted through a licensee) interfered with the gold mining company's right under the agreements to mine gold and that the gold in that area was therefore no longer recoverable. Based on the agreements, we concluded that our subsidiary's operations were permitted to be conducted in that area, particularly in light of the fact that our subsidiary had operations on the disputed parcel (through a licensee) prior to the 1992 agreement. Moreover, based on the express language of the two agreements, we concluded that, even if the arbitration panel were to decide otherwise, our subsidiary was entitled to continue its operations until a determination was made in the arbitration and that any damages or other relief ordered by the panel would not accrue for periods prior to the determination by the arbitration panel and, accordingly, would not be material to the Company. Based primarily on these contractual provisions and related facts, we concluded at the time we filed our Form 10-Qs for the first two quarters of fiscal 2012 that the likelihood that the proceeding would be material to our financial statements was remote. The arbitration panel convened in November 2011 and resulting proceeding was concluded in December 2011, although the decision was not announced until January 19, 2012. When the decision of the arbitration panel was announced, the arbitration panel ruled against us and awarded $6.9 million to the other mining company. Additionally, we believe it is probable that the arbitration panel will award attorneys' fees and arbitration costs to the other party. The dollar amount of attorneys' fees and arbitration costs the panel may award is uncertain since the panel will make its decision on such costs in late February or early March; however, if adversely decided, we estimate that these additional amounts to be approximately $1.2 million, although the actual amounts, when determined, may be either less than or greater than the amount accrued. As a result of this arbitration award, we have accrued a loss of $8.1 million at December 31, 2011. This amount, together with our legal expenses incurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2012, is classified as Loss on Arbitration Ruling in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011. The award will become final and payable during the quarter ending March 31, 2012, and any changes to the estimated accrual will be recognized during that quarter. The ruling involves a limited area within our California aggregates deposit and is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our continuing operations in future periods. There is also a pending lawsuit in state court filed by the same claimant/mining company based on the same facts and circumstances which were the subject of the arbitration. The state lawsuit has been stayed pending the outcome of the arbitration ruling. While we believe that the resolution of the arbitration hearing substantially addresses the claims in the state lawsuit and that the incurrence of any further material loss in this case is remote, we are currently unable to determine the outcome of this lawsuit or the impact of an unfavorable ruling on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |

Income Taxes |
Income taxes for the interim period presented have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. In addition to the amount of tax resulting from applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income, we will, when appropriate, include certain items treated as discrete events to arrive at an estimated overall tax amount. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately 23%, before the impact of the discrete items discussed below. During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the federal statute of limitations for assessment for the years ended March 31, 2004, March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 expired. Also during the quarter, the Company participated in amnesty programs in Arizona, Colorado and California. These events were treated as discrete items in the tax provision and a benefit totaling approximately $2.5 million on an after-tax basis was recognized. During January 2012, we received payment of the $9.1 million owed to us by the IRS at December 31, 2011. |

Segment Information |
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities that earn revenues, incur expenses and prepare separate financial information that is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources and assess performance. We operate in four business segments: Cement, Gypsum Wallboard, Recycled Paperboard, and Concrete and Aggregates, with Gypsum Wallboard and Cement being our principal lines of business. These operations are conducted in the U.S. and include the mining of limestone and the manufacture, production, distribution and sale of Portland cement (a basic construction material which is the essential binding ingredient in concrete), the mining of gypsum and the manufacture and sale of gypsum wallboard, the manufacture and sale of recycled paperboard to the gypsum wallboard industry and other paperboard converters, the sale of readymix concrete and the mining and sale of aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel). These products are used primarily in commercial and residential construction, public construction projects and projects to build, expand and repair roads and highways.
As further discussed below, we operate four cement plants, eleven cement distribution terminals, five gypsum wallboard plants, including the plant temporarily idled in Bernalillo, N.M., a gypsum wallboard distribution center, a recycled paperboard mill, nine readymix concrete batch plant locations and two aggregates processing plant locations. The principal markets for our cement products are Texas, northern Illinois (including Chicago), the Rocky Mountains, northern Nevada, and northern California. Gypsum wallboard and recycled paperboard are distributed throughout the continental U.S. Concrete and aggregates are sold to local readymix producers and paving contractors in the Austin, Texas area and northern California. We conduct one of our four cement plant operations, Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP in Buda, Texas, through a Joint Venture. For segment reporting purposes only, we proportionately consolidate our 50% share of the Joint Venture's revenues and operating earnings, which is consistent with the way management reports the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. We account for intersegment sales at market prices. The following table sets forth certain financial information relating to our operations by segment:
Segment operating earnings, including the proportionately consolidated 50% interest in the revenues and expenses of the Joint Venture, represent revenues, less direct operating expenses, segment depreciation, and segment selling, general and administrative expenses. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, general office assets, miscellaneous other assets and unrecognized tax benefits. The segment breakdown of goodwill is as follows:
We perform our annual test of impairment on goodwill during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year. Due to the decline in operating earnings of the gypsum wallboard segment during the last three fiscal years, and continuing into this year, we have performed an impairment test at the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters for the gypsum wallboard assets and goodwill, noting that there was no impairment at this time. We will continue to test for any potential impairment on a quarterly basis throughout fiscal year 2012, or until conditions in the wallboard industry improve enough for us to determine that an impairment loss is not likely to occur. We temporarily idled our gypsum manufacturing facility in Bernalillo, N.M. beginning in December 2009, due to cyclical low gypsum wallboard demand. The carrying value of the Bernalillo plant and equipment at December 31, 2011 was $7.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively and we continue to depreciate the assets over their estimated useful life. We currently have a strong market position in New Mexico, and our Albuquerque gypsum wallboard facility is operating at close to capacity. We plan on resuming manufacturing at the Bernalillo facility in the future when demand for our products improves. Costs of maintaining the facility during the idling are not significant, and the facility was generating positive cash flow prior to being idled; therefore, have determined that the value of the plant and equipment is not impaired. We are not currently considering the permanent closure of the Bernalillo facility. Any decision to permanently close Bernalillo would be the result of future changes in the building materials industry in the southwest United States and Rocky Mountain region, including changes in the production capacity or operations of our competitors, demand for gypsum wallboard or general macro-economic conditions, which we do not foresee at the present time. If we were to permanently close the Bernalillo facility, or if our expectations as to its use changed such that we project the future undiscounted cash flows from its operations would be insufficient to recover its carrying value due to the factors described above, or for any other reason, we would recognize impairment at that time. All of our other wallboard facilities are currently generating positive cash flow from operations.
Summarized financial information for the Joint Venture that is not consolidated is set out below (this summarized financial information includes the total amount for the Joint Venture and not our 50% interest in those amounts):
During the nine month period ended December 31, 2011, we provided approximately $10.0 million to our Joint Venture for its capital needs. |
