Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A) Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eagle Materials Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the Company), which may be referred to as we, our, or us. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company is a holding company whose assets consist of its investments in its subsidiaries, joint venture, intercompany balances and holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The businesses of the consolidated group are conducted through the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company conducts one of its cement plant operations through a joint venture, Texas Lehigh Cement Company L.P., which is located in Buda, Texas (the Joint Venture). Our investment in the Joint Venture is accounted for using the equity method of accounting, and those results have been included for the same period as our March 31 fiscal year end.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash Equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are recorded at cost, which approximates market value.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash included amounts deposited in a qualified settlement fund. These amounts were deposited in relation to our settlement of a class action lawsuit and upon final approval of the District Court, these funds were transferred to the plaintiff’s attorneys. See Footnote (H) for more information regarding the lawsuit and settlement.

Accounts and Notes Receivable

Accounts and Notes Receivable have been shown net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $9.9 million and $8.6 million at March 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 on analysis of economic trends in the construction and oil and gas industries, 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 $3.6 million at March 31, 2019, of which approximately $0.7 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 4.5%. Remaining unpaid amounts, plus accrued interest, mature in fiscal 2026. The notes are collateralized by certain assets of the borrowers, namely property and equipment. 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.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost (including applicable material, labor, depreciation, and plant overhead) or net realizable value. Inventories consist of the following:

	March 31,
	2019		2018
	(dollars in thousands)
Raw Materials and Materials-in-Progress	$	125,828	$	121,628

Frac Sand		2,557		1,696
Repair Parts and Supplies		80,676		79,878
Fuel and Coal		8,172		6,002
	$	275,194	$	258,159

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, Plant, and Equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized and depreciated. Annual maintenance is expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets and totaled $118.2 million, $109.6 million, and $86.0 million for the years ended March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. Raw material deposits are depleted as such deposits are extracted for production utilizing the units-of-production method. Costs and accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired or sold are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are recognized at such time. The estimated lives of the related assets are as follows:


Plants		20 to 30 years
Buildings		20 to 40 years
Machinery and Equipment		3 to 25 years

We periodically evaluate whether current events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our depreciable assets may not be recoverable. During fiscal 2019, we recorded an impairment of approximately $211.3 million related to property and equipment in our Oil and Gas Proppants segment. See Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived and Intangible Assets below for more information about the impairment.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

We annually assess Goodwill in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. Impairment testing for Goodwill is done at the reporting unit, which is consistent with the reportable segment.

Goodwill is considered impaired if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Prior to performing the Step 1 quantitative analysis, we may, at our discretion, perform an optional qualitative analysis, or it may choose to proceed directly to the Step 1 quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis considers the impact of the following events and circumstances on the reporting unit being tested: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events. If, as a result of this qualitative analysis, we conclude that it is more likely than not (a likelihood of greater than 50%) that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then an impairment does not exist and the quantitative Step 1 analysis is not required. If we are unable to conclude that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then we proceed to the quantitative Step 1 analysis.

Step 1 of the quantitative test for impairment compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, then an impairment is indicated. If facts and circumstances related to our business change in subsequent years, we may choose to perform a quantitative analysis in those future years. If we perform a Step 1 analysis, and the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then an impairment charge equal to the difference, not to exceed the total amount of Goodwill, is recorded.

The fair values of the reporting units are estimated by using both the market and income approaches. The market approach considers market factors and certain multiples in comparison to similar companies, while the income approach uses discounted cash flows to determine the estimated fair values of the reporting units. We also perform an overall comparison of all reporting units to our market capitalization in order to test the reasonableness of our fair value calculations.

We performed qualitative assessments of our Cement, Gypsum Wallboard, and Recycled Paperboard reporting units in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. As a result of these qualitative assessments, we determined that it was not more likely than not that an impairment existed; therefore, we did not perform a Step 1 quantitative impairment test.

We performed a quantitative Step 1 impairment test on our Oil and Gas Proppants reporting unit. We estimated the reporting unit’s fair value using a discounted cash flow model. Key assumptions in the model were: estimated average net sales prices, sales volumes and the discount rate, which was estimated at 11%. Based on the results of the Step 1 impairment analysis, we concluded that the entire balance of Goodwill in the Oil and Gas Proppants reporting unit was impaired, and we recorded an impairment loss of approximately $6.8 million in the reporting unit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets, including the impact of the impairment charges discussed above, at March 31, 2019 and 2018, consist of the following:

	March 31, 2019
	Amortization Period	Cost		Accumulated Amortization			Impairment			Net

Goodwill			205,211		—			205,211
Total Goodwill and Intangible Assets		$	308,611	$	(69,269	)	$	239,342

At March 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately $0.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of customer contracts and relationships were related to our Oil and Gas Proppants sector.

During fiscal 2017, we wrote off a customer contract in our Oil and Gas Proppants segment valued at $1.3 million due to the termination of the contract. At March 31, 2016, we had a $2.0 million liability related to prepayment for sand under one of our contracts. This contract expired on June 30, 2016, at which time the customer prepayment was forfeited under the terms of the contract. The $2.0 million was recorded as a reduction of Cost of Goods Sold in our fiscal 2017 Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

During fiscal 2017, sales contracts with two of our customers in our Oil and Gas Proppants segment expired or were terminated. These customers had not purchased their contractually required amounts at the time the contracts expired or were terminated, and we entered into settlement agreements with those customers in connection with their failure to purchase the contractually required amounts. Based on these agreements, we received settlement payments of approximately $12.9 million in exchange for releasing our claims against such customers. The settlement payments were recorded as a reduction of Cost of Goods Sold in our fiscal 2017 Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

Amortization expense of intangibles was $4.3 million, $4.4 million, and $4.8 million for the years ended March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $2.2 million for fiscal year 2020 and $1.7 million for each of fiscal years 2021 through 2024.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets

We assess our long-lived assets, including mining and related assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset, or group of assets, may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets, or groups of assets, are evaluated for impairment at the lowest level for which cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assts. We assess recoverability of assets, or group of assets, by comparing the carrying amount of an asset, or group of assets, to the future undiscounted net cash flows that we expect the asset, or group of assets, to generate. These impairment evaluations are significantly affected by estimates of future revenue, costs and expenses, and other factors. If the carrying value of the assets, or group of assets, exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, then an impairment is indicated. If such assets, or group of assets, are considered to be impaired, the impairment is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset, or group of assets, exceeds the fair value of the asset, or group of assets. Any assets held for sale are reflected at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

During the latter part of fiscal 2019, continued declining sales prices, sales volume and operating results in our Oil and Gas Proppants business indicated that impairment indictors were present. The decline in sales volume was primarily related to decreased demand from the Permian Basin. The decline in orders is due to several factors, including reduced completion budgets, limited pipeline take away capacity in the Permian Basin, and an increase in the usage of in-basin regional sand. The capacity for in-basin sand has increased in recent years, and certain of our customers have shifted their purchases from northern white sand to lower cost regional sand.

Because of the continuing shift in demand to regional sand, and the decline in our operating results, we concluded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 that the reduction in sales volumes and operating losses were other than temporary and that long-lived asset impairment indicators were present in our Oil and Gas Proppants segment. Prior to performing tests to determine whether an impairment was present, we grouped the long-lived assets of the segment into the lowest level where cash flows are generated, which is considered the operating facility or distribution level. We then performed recoverability tests on each group of assets using probability weighted estimates of forecasted undiscounted cash flows over the remaining estimated life of each asset group based on a variety of scenarios. Based on these forecasts we concluded that the carrying values exceeded the undiscounted cash flows for two of the operating facilities and several of the distribution facilities, indicating impairment.

For those impaired asset groups, we calculated an estimated fair value using either a discounted cash flow model (Level 3) or real estate appraisals (Level 2) when it was determined the value of the real estate was the highest and best use of the property. In preparing the discounted cash flow model, we utilized a weighted-average cost of capital which was determined from relevant market comparisons and adjusted for specific risks. The analysis resulted in impairment losses to Property, Plant, and Equipment as well as Goodwill, Intangible, and Other Assets of approximately $211.3 million and $9.0 million, respectively, which is included in Impairment Losses in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings for fiscal year 2019. There was no impairment of long-lived assets or intangible assets during fiscal 2018 and 2017.

Other Assets

Other Assets are primarily composed of financing costs related to our revolving credit facility, deferred expenses, and deposits.

Income Taxes

We account for Income Taxes using the asset and liability method. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize deferred taxes for the differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities by applying enacted statutory tax rates for future years. In addition, we recognize future tax benefits to the extent that such benefits are more likely than not to be realized.

Stock Repurchases

On April 18, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional 10,000,000 shares, for a total outstanding authorization of 10,724,758 shares. During fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017, we repurchased 3,309,670; 627,722; and 788,800 shares, respectively, at average prices of $82.18, $97.30, and $76.08, respectively. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, we repurchased an additional 1,031,110 shares through May 21, 2019, at an average price per share of $88.79. Including the share repurchases made subsequent to March 31, 2019, we have authorization to repurchase an additional 9,848,648 shares.

Revenue Recognition

On April 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” and all the related amendments to contracts using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 had no impact on our financial statements at the time of the adoption.

We earn Revenue primarily from the sale of products, which include cement, concrete, aggregates, gypsum wallboard, recycled paperboard, and frac sand. The vast majority of Revenue from the sale of cement, concrete, aggregates, and gypsum wallboard is originated by purchase orders from our customers, who are primarily third-party contractors and suppliers. Revenue from our Recycled Paperboard and Oil and Gas Proppants segments is generated primarily through long-term supply agreements that mature between 2018 and 2025. We also earn Revenue from transload services and storage; we recognize Revenue from these services when the product is transferred from the rail car to the truck or silo, or from the silo to the railcar or truck. We invoice customers upon shipment, and our collection terms range from 30-65 days. Revenue from the sale of cement, concrete, aggregates, and gypsum wallboard that is not related to long-term supply agreements is recognized upon shipment of the related products to customers, which is when title and ownership are transferred, and the customer is obligated to pay.

Revenue from sales under our long-term supply agreements is also recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which generally occurs at the time the product is shipped from the production facility or transload location. Our long-term supply agreements with customers define, among other commitments, the volume of product that we must provide and the volume that the customer must purchase by the end of the defined periods. Pricing structures under our agreements are generally market-based but are subject to certain contractual adjustments. Historically the pricing and volume requirements under certain of these contracts have been renegotiated during volatile market conditions. Shortfall amounts, if applicable under these arrangements, are constrained and not recognized as Revenue until agreement is reached with the customer and there is no risk of reversal.

The Company offers certain of its customers, including those with long-term supply agreements, rebates and incentives, which we treat as variable consideration. We adjust the amount of revenue recognized for the variable consideration using the most likely amount method based on past history and projected volumes in the rebate and incentive period. Any amounts billed to customers for taxes are excluded from Revenue.

The Company has elected to treat freight and delivery charges we pay for the delivery of goods to our customers as a fulfilment activity rather than a separate performance obligation. When we arrange for a third party to deliver products to customers, fees for shipping and handling that are billed to the customer are recorded as Revenue, while costs we incur for shipping and handling are recorded as expenses and included in Cost of Goods Sold.

Approximately $169.6 million, $158.3 million, and $138.0 million of freight for the years ended March 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, were included in both revenue and Cost of Goods Sold in our Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

Other Non-Operating Income includes lease and rental income, asset sale income, non-inventoried aggregates sales income, distribution center income, and trucking income, as well as other miscellaneous revenue items and costs which have not been allocated to a business segment.

See Footnote (F) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for disaggregation of Revenue by segment.

Comprehensive Income/Losses

As of March 31, 2019, we have an Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of $3.3 million, which is net of income taxes of $1.1 million, in connection with recognizing the difference between the fair value of the pension assets and the projected benefit obligation.

Consolidated Cash Flows – Supplemental Disclosures

Interest payments made during the years ended March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 were $28.2 million, $28.9 million, and $19.0 million, respectively.

We made net payments of $40.0 million, $69.4 million, and $76.1 million for federal and state income taxes in the years ended March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Statements of Consolidated Earnings – Supplemental Disclosures

Maintenance and repair expenses are included in each segment’s costs and expenses. We incurred $116.3 million, $107.3 million, and $101.5 of maintenance and repairs expense million in the years ended March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, which is included in Cost of Goods Sold on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, General, and Administrative expenses of the operating units are included in Cost of Goods Sold on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Corporate General and Administrative (Corporate G&A) expenses include administration, financial, legal, employee benefits, and other corporate activities, and are shown separately in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Corporate G&A also includes stock compensation expense. See Footnote (I) for more information.

Total Selling, General, and Administrative expenses for each of the periods are summarized as follows:

The line Less Shares Repurchased from Proceeds of Assumed Exercised Options includes unearned compensation related to outstanding stock options.

There were 461,575; 98,362; and 513,262 stock options at an average exercise price of $90.32 per share, $98.75 per share, and $80.59 per share, respectively, that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, because such inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

All share-based compensation is valued at the grant date and expensed over the requisite service period, which is generally identical to the vesting period of the award. Forfeitures of share-based awards are recognized in the period in which they occur.

Fair Value Measures

Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value. The estimated fair values of those assets and liabilities have been determined using market information and valuation methodologies. Changes in assumptions or estimation methods could affect the fair value estimates; however, we do not believe any such changes would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

RECENTLY ADOPTED

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost,” which revises the accounting for periodic pension and postretirement expense. This ASU requires net periodic benefit cost, with the exception of service cost, to be presented retrospectively as nonoperating expense. Service cost will remain a component of Cost of Goods Sold and represent the only cost of pension and postretirement expense eligible for capitalization. We adopted the standard on April 1, 2018 using the retrospective method for presentation of service cost and other components in the income statement. We prospectively adopted the requirement to limit the capitalization of benefit cost to the service cost component. The impact of adopting this standard was not material to our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” which eliminates the second step of the goodwill impairment test. Under the new standard, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. We adopted this standard effective April 1, 2018.

PENDING ADOPTION

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which supersedes existing lease guidance to require lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. The new standard provides a number of practical expedients for transition and elections for the future application of the policy. We will elect the “package of practical expedients”, which permits us to not reassess prior conclusions about lease identification and classification. We will also elect the practical expedient allowing the use of hindsight, which allowed the inclusion of certain renewal options that were not previously considered using the former lease guidance. We have also chosen to exclude short-term leases, which are those leases with terms of less than twelve month.

We will adopt this standard on April 1, 2019 using the modified-retrospective transition approach. Under this approach, we will record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases outstanding (excluding short-term leases) as of that date, and will not restate periods prior to the date of adoption. We expect to recognize an operating lease liability in the range of approximately $70.0 million to $75.0 million, with a corresponding right-of-use asset in the range of approximately $67.0 million to $72.0 million. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to materially impact annual lease expense.

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842.” This ASU permits the election not to evaluate land easements under the new lease guidance that existed or expired before the adoption of the ASU 2016-02 and that were not previously accounted for as leases. We will adopt ASU 2018-01 concurrently with the adoption of ASU 2016-02, and have elected not to evaluate land easements that existed or expired before adoption.

Credit Facility

We have a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility), including a swingline loan sublimit of $25.0 million, which terminates on August 2, 2021. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Credit Facility also provides the Company the option to increase the borrowing capacity by up to $250.0 million (for a total of $750.0 million in available borrowings), provided that the existing lenders, or new lenders, agree to such increase. The debt under the Credit Facility is not rated by ratings agencies.

At our option, outstanding principal amounts on the 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, defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, to the Company’s consolidated indebtedness (the Leverage Ratio), 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, in the case of loans bearing interest at a rate based on the federal funds rate, quarterly, or in the case of loans bearing interest at a rate based on LIBOR, at the end of the LIBOR advance periods, which can be a period of up to nine months at the option of the Company. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee on unused available borrowings under the Credit Facility ranging from 10 to 35 basis points depending upon the Leverage Ratio. The 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 Credit Facility also requires us to maintain a consolidated indebtedness ratio (calculated as consolidated indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, certain transaction-related deductions and other non-cash deductions) of 3.5:1.0 or less and an interest coverage ratio (consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, certain transaction-related deductions and other non-cash deductions to consolidated interest expense) of at least 2.5:1.0. We were in compliance with all financial ratios and tests at March 31, 2019, and throughout the fiscal year. We had $310.0 million of borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2019. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, we increased our borrowings under the Credit Facility, resulting in borrowings outstanding of $425.0 million at May 21, 2019. Based on our Leverage Ratio and the increased borrowings between March 31, 2019 and May 21, 2019, we had $67.3 million of available borrowings, net of the outstanding letters of credit, at May 21, 2019.

The Credit Facility has a $40.0 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 March 31, 2019, we had $7.7 million of letters of credit outstanding.

4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2026

On August 2, 2016, the Company issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% senior notes (Senior Unsecured Notes) due August 2026. Interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year until all outstanding notes are paid. The Senior Unsecured Notes rank equal to existing and future senior indebtedness, including the Credit Facility and the Private Placement Senior Unsecured Notes. Prior to August 1, 2019, we may redeem with the proceeds of certain equity offerings up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes at a redemption price of 104.5% of the principal amount of the notes. On or after August 1, 2019, and prior to August 1, 2021, we may redeem some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a make-whole premium. Beginning August 1, 2021, we may redeem some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes at the redemption prices set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount being redeemed):

	Percentage
2021		102.25	%
2022		101.50	%
2023		100.75	%
2024 and thereafter		100.00	%

The Senior Unsecured Notes contain covenants that limit our ability and/or our guarantor subsidiaries' ability to create or permit existence of certain liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge, or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. The Company’s Senior Unsecured Notes are fully, unconditionally, jointly, and severally guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Credit Facility and Private Placement Senior Unsecured Notes. See Footnote (D) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the guarantors of the Senior Unsecured Notes.

Private Placement Senior Unsecured Notes

On October 2, 2007, in a private placement transaction, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the 2007 Note Purchase Agreement) in connection with our sale of $200.0 million of senior unsecured notes, designated as Series 2007A Senior Unsecured Notes (the Series 2007A Senior Unsecured Notes). The Series 2007A Senior Unsecured Notes, which are guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries, were sold at par and issued in four tranches.

At March 31, 2019, the amount outstanding for the remaining tranche is as follows:

		Principal		Maturity Date		Interest Rate
Tranche D		$36.5 million		October 2, 2019			6.48	%

Interest for the Series 2007A Senior Unsecured 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 2007 Note Purchase Agreement are equal in right of payment with all other senior unsecured debt of the Company, including our debt under the Credit Facility and Senior Unsecured Notes. The 2007 Note Purchase Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, 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.

The 2007 Note Purchase Agreement requires us to maintain a Consolidated Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (calculated as consolidated indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, certain transaction-related deductions and other non-cash charges) ratio of 3.50:1.00 or less, and to maintain an interest coverage ratio (Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense [calculated as Consolidated EBITDA, defined above, to consolidated interest expense]) of at least 2.50:1.0. In addition, the 2007 Note Purchase Agreement requires the Company to ensure that at all times either (i) Consolidated Total Assets equal at least 80% of the consolidated total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, determined in accordance with GAAP, or (ii) Consolidated Total Revenue of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended equals at least 80% of the consolidated total revenue of the Company and its Subsidiaries during such period. We were in compliance with all financial ratios and tests at March 31, 2019, and throughout the fiscal year.

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 2007 Note Purchase Agreement) on the Series 2007A Senior Unsecured Notes and the other payment and performance obligations of the Company contained in the 2007 Note Purchase Agreement. 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 Series 2007A Senior Unsecured Notes at 100% of the principal amount to be prepaid, together with interest accrued on such amount, plus a make-whole amount. The make-whole amount is computed by discounting the remaining scheduled principal and interest payments at a discount rate of 50 basis points above the yield to maturity of U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the remaining average life of the Series 2007A Senior Unsecured Notes being prepaid.

Other Information

We lease one of our cement plants from the city of Sugar Creek, Missouri. The city of Sugar Creek issued industrial revenue bonds to partly finance improvements to the cement plant. The lease payments due to the city of Sugar Creek under the cement plant lease, which was entered into upon the sale of the industrial revenue bonds, are equal in amount to the payments required to be made by the city of Sugar Creek to the holders of the industrial revenue bonds. Because we hold all outstanding industrial revenue bonds, no debt is reflected on our financial statements in connection with our lease of the cement plant. Upon expiration of the lease in fiscal 2021, we have the option to purchase the cement plant for a nominal amount.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

(E) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of our senior notes has been estimated based upon our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair values of our Private Placement Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Unsecured Notes at March 31, 2019 are as follows:

	Fair Value
	(dollars in thousands)
Series 2007A Tranche D	$	36,969
4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2026	$	356,115

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt was based on quoted prices of similar debt instruments with similar terms that are publicly traded (level 2 input). The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values at March 31, 2019, due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The fair value of our Credit Facility also approximates its carrying value at March 31, 2019.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

(F) Business Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities that earn revenue, 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. During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, we changed our segment presentation to reflect the reorganization of our Oil and Gas Proppants and frac sand distribution businesses. Under this reorganization, the distribution business, which was acquired in fiscal 2018, became a division of the Oil and Gas Proppants business. The operations of the frac sand distribution business had previously been reported in the Other segment. For comparative purposes, we have adjusted the prior period segment presentation to reflect this change.

We are a leading supplier of heavy construction materials, light building materials, and materials used for oil and natural gas extraction in the United States. Our products are commodities that are essential in commercial and residential construction; public construction projects; projects to build, expand, and repair roads and highways; and in oil and natural gas extraction.

Our business is organized into three sectors within which there are five reportable business segments. The Heavy Materials sector includes the Cement and Concrete and Aggregates segments. The Light Materials sector includes the Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard segments. The Oil and Gas Proppants segment produces frac sand used in oil and gas extraction.

Our business activities are conducted in the U.S. and include the mining of limestone for the manufacture, production, distribution, and sale of portland cement (a basic construction material which is the essential binding ingredient in concrete) and specialty oil well cement; the grinding and sale of slag cement; the mining of gypsum, for 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) and sand used in hydraulic fracturing (frac sand).

We operate seven cement plants, one slag grinding facility, 19 cement distribution terminals, five gypsum wallboard plants, a recycled paperboard mill, 17 readymix concrete batch plants, four aggregates processing plants, two frac sand processing facilities, four frac sand drying facilities, and five frac sand trans-load locations. The principal markets for our cement products are Texas, Illinois, the central plains, Michigan, Iowa, the Rocky Mountains, northern Nevada, southern Ohio, and northern California. Gypsum wallboard and recycled paperboard are distributed throughout the continental U.S., with the exception of the Northeast. Concrete and aggregates are sold to local readymix producers and paving contractors in the Austin, Texas area; north of Sacramento, California; and the greater Kansas City, Missouri area, while frac sand is currently sold into shale deposits across the United States.

We conduct one of our seven 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 Revenue and Operating Earnings, 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 table below sets forth certain financial information relating to our operations by segment. We do not allocate interest or taxes at the segment level, only at the consolidated company level.

Segment Operating Earnings, including the proportionately consolidated 50% interest in the revenue and expenses of the Joint Venture, represent Revenue less direct operating expenses, segment Depreciation, and segment Selling, General, and Administrative expenses. Segment Operating Earnings don’t include certain non-recurring losses, such as impairment and legal settlements. We account for intersegment sales at market prices. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, general office assets, and miscellaneous other assets.

The basis used to disclose Identifiable Assets; Capital Expenditures; and Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization conforms with the equity method, and is similar to how we disclose these accounts in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

We record Deferred Tax assets and Liabilities based upon estimates of their realizable value with such estimates based upon likely future tax consequences. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the Deferred Tax Assets. If, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that a Deferred Tax Asset will not be realized, we record a valuation allowance.

We have state income tax investment credits of $2.0 million, net of Valuation Allowances. The state investment credits may be carried forward indefinitely.

During fiscal 2019, we recorded a decrease in the valuation allowance against our Deferred Tax Assets of $2.1 million. This decrease relates to changes in estimates of the realizability of certain deferred tax assets related to the long-term incentive compensation plan.

Uncertain tax positions

We are subject to audit examinations at federal, state, and local levels by tax authorities in those jurisdictions who may challenge the treatment or reporting of any return item. The tax matters challenged by the tax authorities are typically complex; therefore, the ultimate outcome of these challenges is subject to uncertainty. There were no uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Act) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act, among other changes, reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, allows for the immediate 100% deductibility of certain capital expenditures, repeals the domestic production deduction, and further limits the deductibility of certain executive compensation. In December 2017, we recorded a tax benefit of $61.0 million related to the change in corporate tax rates that reduced our deferred tax liabilities after the initial assessment of the tax effects of the Act. In the quarter ended December 31, 2018, we finalized our accounting for the Act with no material changes from our provisional calculations.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(H) Commitments and Contingencies

Our operations and properties are subject to extensive and changing federal, state, and local laws; regulations and ordinances governing the protection of the environment; as well as laws relating to worker health and workplace safety. We carefully consider the requirements mandated by such laws and regulations and have procedures in place at all of our operating units to monitor compliance. Any matters which are identified as potential exposures under these laws and regulations are carefully reviewed by management to determine our potential liability. Although management is not aware of any exposures which require an accrual under generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no assurance that prior or future operations will not ultimately result in violations, claims, or other liabilities associated with these regulations.

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 March 31, 2019, we had contingent liabilities under these outstanding letters of credit of approximately $7.7 million.

We are currently contingently liable for performance under $26.3 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.

Domestic Wallboard Antitrust Litigation

Since late December 2012, several purported class action lawsuits were filed in various federal district courts, against the Company’s subsidiary, American Gypsum Company LLC (American Gypsum) and other wallboard manufacturers, alleging that the defendant wallboard manufacturers conspired to fix the price for drywall sold in the United States in violation of federal antitrust laws and, in some cases, related provisions of state law. The Company and American Gypsum denied all allegations that they conspired to increase the price of drywall and asserted affirmative defenses to the plaintiffs’ claims.

On December 29, 2017, American Gypsum and the Company, entered into a settlement agreement (the Direct Purchaser Settlement Agreement) with counsel representing the direct purchaser class to settle all claims made against the Company, American Gypsum, and other manufacturers in the direct purchaser class action. The Direct Purchaser Settlement Agreement, in which the Company and American Gypsum deny all wrongdoing, also includes releases by the participating class members of the Company and American Gypsum as well as their subsidiaries, affiliates, and other related parties, for the time period from January 1, 2012 through the date of execution of the Direct Purchaser Settlement Agreement. On January 5, 2018, American Gypsum entered into a settlement agreement (the Indirect Purchaser Settlement Agreement) with counsel representing the indirect purchaser class to settle all claims against American Gypsum and the other manufacturers in the indirect purchaser class action. Under the Direct and Indirect Purchaser Settlement Agreements, the Company and American Gypsum agreed to pay a total of approximately $39.1 million in cash to settle the claims against them. These claims were accrued during March 2018, and we deposited approximately $38.8 million into a qualified settlement fund. The amount accrued under the Direct Purchaser Settlement Agreement was paid in July 2018 after approval by the District Court.

In March 2015, a group of homebuilders filed a complaint against the defendants, including American Gypsum, based upon the same conduct alleged in the consolidated class action complaints. Effective May 8, 2018, American Gypsum and the homebuilder plaintiffs entered into a settlement agreement (the Homebuilder Settlement Agreement) to settle all claims made against American Gypsum. The Homebuilder Settlement Agreement, in which American Gypsum denies all wrongdoing, includes releases by the homebuilder plaintiffs of American Gypsum as well as its subsidiaries, affiliates, and other related parties, for the time period prior to and including the date of execution of the Homebuilder Settlement Agreement. Under the Homebuilder Settlement Agreement, American Gypsum agreed to pay a total of $6.0 million in cash to settle the claims against it. At March 31, 2018, we accrued the total amount of this settlement, and this amount was paid in May 2018.

In June 2015, American Gypsum and an employee received grand jury subpoenas from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina seeking information regarding an investigation of the gypsum drywall industry by the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice. We believe the investigation, although a separate proceeding, was related to the same subject matter at issue in the litigation described above. On August 24, 2018, the Antitrust Division notified us that the investigation had been closed.

Other

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 the 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, construction contractor, and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. While the maximum amount to which we 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 the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We currently have no outstanding guarantees of third-party debt.

We have certain forward purchase contracts, primarily for natural gas, that expire during calendar 2019 and 2020. The contracts are for approximately 25% of our anticipated natural gas usage.

We have certain operating leases covering manufacturing, transportation, a quarry and certain other facilities and equipment. Rental expense for fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017 totaled $12.3 million, $12.0 million and $11.3 million, respectively. Minimum annual rental commitments as of March 31, 2019, under noncancelable leases are set forth as follows (dollars in thousands):

STOCK OPTION PLANS

(I) Stock Option Plans

On August 7, 2013, our stockholders approved the Eagle Materials Inc. Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the Plan), which increased the shares we are authorized to issue as awards by 3,000,000 (1,500,000 of which may be stock awards). Under the terms of the Plan, we may issue equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights to employees of the Company and members of the Board of Directors. Awards that were already outstanding prior to the approval of the Plan remained outstanding. 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 May 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the granting to certain officers and key employees of an aggregate of 62,179 performance vesting stock options that are earned only if certain performance conditions are satisfied (the Fiscal 2019 Employee Performance Stock Option Grant). The performance criterion for the Fiscal 2019 Employee Performance Stock Option Grant is based upon the achievement of certain levels of return on equity (as defined in the option agreements), ranging from 10.0% to 20.0%, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019. All stock options are earned if the return on equity is 20.0% or greater, and the percentage of shares earned are reduced proportionately to approximately 66.7% if the return on equity is 10.0%. If the Company does not achieve a return on equity of at least 10.0%, all stock options granted will be forfeited. During fiscal 2019, the adjusted return on equity was approximately 16.6%; therefore, 53,617 options were earned, with the remaining options forfeited. The earned stock options will lapse ratably over four years, with the first fourth lapsing promptly following the determination date, and the remaining options vesting on March 31, 2020 through 2022. The stock options have a term of 10 years from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee also approved the granting of 51,814 time-vesting stock options to the same officers and key employees, which vest ratably over a four-year period (the Fiscal 2019 Employee Time-Vesting Stock Option Grant). The stock options have a term of 10 years from the date of grant.

In August 2018, we granted to members of the Board of Directors 1,741 stock options (the Fiscal 2019 Board of Directors Stock Option Grant). Stock options granted under the Fiscal 2019 Board of Directors Stock Option Grant vest immediately and can be exercised from the date of grant until their expiration on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The Fiscal 2019 Employee Performance Stock Option Grant, the Fiscal 2019 Employee Time-Vesting Stock Option Grant, and Fiscal 2019 Board of Directors Stock Option Grant were valued at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

All stock options issued during fiscal 2019 and 2018 were 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 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

	2019			2018
Dividend Yield		1.3	%		1.3	%
Expected Volatility		32.7	%		36.5	%
Risk Free Interest Rate		2.85	%		2.10	%
Expected Life	6.0 years			6.0 years

Stock option expense for all outstanding stock option awards was approximately $3.8 million, $4.3 million, and $5.3 million for the years ended March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. At March 31, 2019, there was approximately $6.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

The following table shows stock option activity for the years presented:

At March 31, 2019, the aggregate intrinsic value for outstanding and exercisable options was approximately $12.8 million and $11.8 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 was approximately $2.1 million.

Restricted Stock

In May 2018, the Compensation Committee approved the granting to certain officers and key employees an aggregate of 57,756 shares of performance vesting restricted stock that will be earned if certain performance conditions are satisfied (the Fiscal 2019 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award). The performance criterion for the Fiscal 2019 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award is based upon the achievement of certain levels of return on equity (as defined in the agreement), ranging from 10.0% to 20.0%, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. All restricted shares will be earned if the return on equity is 20.0% or greater, and the percentage of shares earned will be reduced proportionately to approximately 66.7% if the return on equity is 10.0%. If the Company does not achieve a return on equity of at least 10.0%, all awards will be forfeited. During fiscal 2019, the adjusted return on equity was approximately 16.6%; therefore approximately 48,185 shares were earned, with the remaining shares forfeited. Restrictions on the earned shares will lapse ratably over four years, with the first fourth lapsing promptly following the determination date and the remaining restrictions lapsing on March 31, 2020 through 2022. The Compensation Committee also approved the granting of 48,130 shares of time-vesting restricted stock to the same officers and key employees, which vest ratably over four years (the Fiscal 2019 Employee Restricted Stock Time-Vesting Award). Both of the Fiscal 2019 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award and the Fiscal 2019 Employee Restricted Stock Time-Vesting Award were valued at the closing price of the stock on the date of grant and are being expensed over a four-year period.

In August 2018, we granted to members of the Board of Directors 15,950 shares of restricted stock (the Board of Directors Fiscal 2019 Restricted Stock Award) which vested six months after the grant date. The Board of Directors Fiscal 2019 Restricted Stock Awards were valued at the closing price of the stock on the date of the grant and were expensed over a six-month period.

The fair value of restricted stock is estimated based on the stock price at the date of the grant. The following table summarizes the activity for nonvested restricted shares during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

	For the Years Ended March 31,
	2019					2018
	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested Restricted Stock at Beginning of Year		328,059		$	72.52		371,213		$	66.07

Nonvested Restricted Stock at End of Year		300,115		$	78.94		328,059		$	72.52

Expense related to restricted shares was $11.3 million, $9.6 million, and $6.8 million in fiscal years ended March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. At March 31, 2019, there were approximately 300,000 shares with remaining restrictions, for which $17.7 million of unearned compensation will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

The number of shares available for future grants of stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock under the Plan was 3,978,814 at March 31, 2019. Of the available shares, a total of 1,252,143 can be used for future restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants.

PENSION AND PROFIT SHARING PLANS

(K) Pension and Profit Sharing Plans

We offer our employees multiple retirement and profit sharing plans.

Pension Plans

We have several defined benefit and defined contribution retirement plans which together cover substantially all of our employees. Benefits paid under the defined benefit plans covering certain hourly employees are based on years of service and each employee’s qualifying compensation over the last few years of employment. Our funding policy is to generally contribute amounts that are deductible for income tax purposes. The annual measurement date is March 31 for the benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets, and the funded status of the defined benefit plans.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the obligations and fair values of plan assets for all defined benefit plans over the two-year period ended March 31, 2019, and a statement of the funded status as of March 31, 2019 and 2018:

Net periodic pension cost for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, included the following components:

	For the Years Ended March 31,
	2019			2018			2017

Amortization of Prior-Service Cost		61			269			359
Settlement		—			649			—
Net Periodic Pension Cost	$	184		$	1,523		$	3,050

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we offered to pay our deferred vested participants that no longer worked for the Company but were not yet retired. We paid approximately $3.9 million to these participants in March 2018. In connection with this payment, we recognized a settlement cost of approximately $0.6 million.

Expected benefit payments over the next five years, and the following five years under the pension plans are expected to be as follows (dollars in thousands):

Fiscal Years	Total
2020	$	1,411
2021	$	1,515
2022	$	1,602
2023	$	1,657
2024	$	1,702
2025-2029	$	9,702

The following tables set forth the assumptions used in the actuarial calculations of the present value of Net Periodic Benefit Costs and Benefit Obligations:

	March 31,
	2019			2018			2017
Net Periodic Benefit Costs -
Discount Rate		4.12	%		4.03	%		3.83	%
Expected Return on Plan Assets		5.50	%		7.50	%		7.50	%
Rate of Compensation Increase		3.50	%		3.50	%		3.50	%

	March 31,
	2019			2018
Benefit Obligations -
Discount Rate		4.09	%		4.12	%
Rate of Compensation Increase		3.50	%		3.50	%

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is an assumption reflecting the anticipated weighted-average rate of earnings on the portfolio over the long-term. To determine this rate, we developed estimates of the key components underlying capital asset returns including: market-based estimates of inflation, real risk-free rates of return, yield curve structure, credit risk premiums, and equity risk premiums. We used these components as appropriate to develop benchmark estimates of the expected long-term management approach employed by us.

The pension plans’ approximate weighted-average asset allocation at March 31, 2019 and 2018 and the range of target allocation are as follows:

		Percentage of Plan Assets at March 31,
	Range of Target Allocation	2019			2018
Asset Category -
Equity Securities	10 – 20%		14	%		50	%
Debt Securities	60 – 90%		85	%		47	%
Other	0 – 20%		1	%		3	%
Total			100	%		100	%

Our pension investment strategies have been developed as part of a comprehensive management process that considers the interaction between the assets and liabilities within each plan. These strategies consider not only the expected risk and returns on plan assets, but also the detailed actuarial projections of liabilities as well as plan-level objectives such as projected contributions, expense, and funded status.

The principal pension investment strategies include asset allocation and active asset management. The range of target asset allocations has been determined given the current funded status of the plan. Each asset class is actively managed by one or more external money managers with the objective of generating returns, net of management fees, that exceed market-based benchmarks. None of the plans hold any EXP stock.

Based on our current actuarial estimates, we anticipate making contributions ranging from approximately $0.5 million to $1.0 million to our defined benefit plans for fiscal year 2020.

The fair values of our defined benefit plans’ consolidated assets by category as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

	March 31,
	2019		2018
	(dollars in thousands)
Equity Securities	$	4,525	$	16,533
Fixed Income Securities		31,516		15,799

Commodity Linked Funds		212		213
Cash Equivalents		144		704
Total	$	36,541	$	33,412

The fair values of our defined benefit plans’ consolidated assets were determined using the fair value hierarchy of inputs described in Footnote (A) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The fair values by category of inputs as of March 31, 2019 were as follows:

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total

Equity securities consist of funds that are not actively traded. These funds are maintained by an investment manager and are primarily invested in indexes. The remaining funds, excluding cash, primarily consist of investments in institutional funds.

Profit Sharing Plans

We also provide profit sharing plans, which cover substantially all salaried and certain hourly employees. The profit sharing plans are defined contribution plans funded by employer discretionary contributions; employees may also contribute a certain percentage of their base annual salary. Employees are fully vested in their own contributions and become fully vested in any Company contributions over a six-year period for salaried employees and a three-year period for hourly employees. Costs relating to the employer discretionary contributions for our contribution plan totaled $8.0 million, $8.4 million, and $6.4 million in fiscal years 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Individuals who became our employees as a result of a previous transaction are provided benefits substantially comparable to those provided under the seller’s benefit plans. These plans included the seller’s 401(k) plan which allows for employer matching percentages of hourly employees. As a result, we made matching contributions to the hourly profit sharing plan totaling $0.6 million, $0.6 million, and $0.3 million for these employees during fiscal years 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

Approximately fifty of our employees belong to three different multi-employer plans. The collective bargaining agreements for the employees who participate in the multi-employer plans expire in March 2020. Our expense related to these plans was approximately $1.5 million, $1.6 million, and $1.6 million during fiscal years 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. We anticipate the total expense in fiscal 2019 related to these plans will be approximately $1.8 million.
