News For Immediate Release

EAGLE MATERIALS INC. REPORTS RECORD FOURTH QUARTER
AND FISCAL YEAR RESULTS

          (Dallas, TX May 4, 2005): Eagle Materials Inc. (NYSE: EXP and EXP.B) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2005 and for Fiscal Year (FY) 2005. Eagle produces and distributes Cement, Gypsum Wallboard, Recycled Paperboard and Concrete and Aggregates.

•   HIGHEST FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR DILUTED EPS IN COMPANY HISTORY — $1.48 AND $5.73, RESPECTIVELY
 
•   GYPSUM WALLBOARD AVERAGE NET SALES PRICE INCREASED 22% AND 25% FOR THE QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR, RESPECTIVELY
 
•   OUR WALLBOARD COMPANY SET A RECORD FOR ANNUAL PRODUCTION AND SALES VOLUME – BOTH IN EXCESS OF 2.5 BSF
 
•   HIGHEST FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR CEMENT AVERAGE NET SALES PRICE IN OUR HISTORY
 
•   OUR CEMENT COMPANIES COMPLETED THEIR 19TH CONSECUTIVE “SOLD OUT” YEAR AND SET A RECORD FOR FISCAL YEAR SALES VOLUME – 2.8 MILLION TONS
 
•   RECORD PAPERBOARD PRODUCTION AND SALES VOLUME FOR FISCAL YEAR
 
•   RECORD AGGREGATE SALES VOLUME IN FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR

     For the quarter ended March 31, 2005, revenues and net earnings were $153.3 million and $27.5 million, respectively. Revenues increased 25% year-over-year and net earnings increased 71% year-over-year. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of FY 2005 were $1.48 compared with $0.85 in the same period a year ago, a 74% increase.

     For the Fiscal Year ended March 31, 2005, EXP’s net earnings increased 59% to $106.7 million or $5.73 per diluted share from $66.9 million or $3.57 per diluted share for the previous Fiscal Year. Revenues for Fiscal 2005 of $616.5 million were 23% greater than the $502.6 million for the previous Fiscal Year.

     EXP remains well positioned to continue to achieve outstanding results given our strong operational position supplying building materials to a robust construction industry. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, total construction spending during March 2005 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1,051.8 billion, 8% above the March 2004 estimate of $973.9 billion. Increased spending across the construction industry as a whole has led to record industry gypsum wallboard shipments in the first three months of calendar 2005. According to the Gypsum Association, approximately 8.6 billion square feet of wallboard were shipped in the first

 


 

three months of calendar 2005, a 2.5% increase over the prior record year. Nationally, demand for cement remains at record levels outpacing last year’s consumption by 13% through February 2005 according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

     The general construction outlook for the present calendar year remains very favorable. For calendar year 2005, we expect Wallboard demand to remain strong and supply to be tight (with 90%+ industry capacity utilization) as a result of continued high levels of activity in residential construction and increasing repair/remodel and commercial construction activity. Wallboard pricing remains strong and a 10% price increase has just been implemented in all of our markets. U.S. cement imports are projected to fulfill over 25% of the U.S. construction industry demand this year with the price of imported cement continuing to be impacted by high freight rates and increasing consumption in world markets. Low inventories and strong demand continue to put upward pressure on cement pricing with price increases of $5.00 to $8.00 per ton implemented in all of EXP’s markets effective April 1, 2005.

     Based on the above factors, the Company expects to report earnings ranging from $1.70 to $1.90 per diluted share for the first quarter of FY 2006 ending June 30, 2005, and $6.40 to $6.90 per diluted share for FY 2006.

     The Company made several announcements during the fourth quarter concerning future growth initiatives. On January 10, 2005, we closed the acquisition of the other 50% ownership interest in Illinois Cement Company. On March 14, 2005, the Company announced its Board of Directors had approved the expansion of the Illinois cement facility to 1.1 million tons. The expansion is expected to be completed by late 2006 with the plant’s production costs expected to decrease by approximately 20%. On April 1, 2005, the Company announced plans to build a greenfield wallboard plant in Georgetown, South Carolina. The new plant will be designed to produce approximately 750 mmsf annually and is expected to be completed by early 2007.

DETAILS OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

     Historically, we conducted two of our cement plant operations through joint ventures, Texas Lehigh Cement Company and Illinois Cement Company (the “Joint Ventures”). On January 10, 2005, we purchased our partner’s 50% interest in Illinois Cement Company. Beginning January 11, 2005, Illinois Cement Company’s results are fully consolidated with our results. We continue to utilize the equity method of accounting for our 50% interest in Texas Lehigh Cement Company. For segment reporting purposes only, we proportionately consolidate our 50% share of the Joint Ventures’ revenues and operating earnings, which is consistent with the way management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

     In addition, for segment reporting purposes we report intersegment revenues as a part of a segment’s total revenues. Intersegment sales are eliminated on the income statement. Refer to Attachment 4 for a reconciliation of the amounts referred to above.

GYPSUM WALLBOARD

     Gypsum Wallboard revenues for the fourth quarter totaled $88.8 million, a 17% increase over the $75.6 million for the same quarter a year ago. Gypsum Wallboard’s fourth quarter operating earnings were $21.6 million, up 64% from the $13.2 million for the same quarter last year. The revenue and earnings gain for the quarter resulted from higher sales prices partially offset by lower sales volume and increased production costs. The average net sales price for this fiscal year’s fourth quarter was $115.24 per thousand square feet (MSF), 22% greater than the

2


 

$94.67 per MSF for the same quarter last year. Gypsum Wallboard sales volume of 614 million square feet (MMSF) declined 3% from the prior year’s fourth quarter primarily because of reduced rail transportation availability.

     Fiscal 2005 operating earnings from Gypsum Wallboard were $81.6 million, an increase of 129% compared to $35.6 million for fiscal 2004. Revenues from Gypsum Wallboard were $350.1 million for fiscal 2005, 28% higher than last year’s revenues of $272.9 million.

CEMENT

     Operating earnings from Cement increased 46% to $13.3 million for the fourth quarter this year from $9.1 million for the same quarter last year. The earnings gain was due primarily to higher net sales prices and higher sales volume and the resulting positive impact of the Illinois Cement acquisition. Cement revenues for the fourth quarter totaled $49.6 million, 41% greater than the $35.4 million for the same quarter a year ago. $4.2 million of the revenue gain is attributable to the purchase of the other 50% interest in Illinois Cement Company. Cement sales volume for the fourth quarter totaled 626,000 tons, 24% above the 504,000 tons for the same quarter last year. Purchased cement sales volume of 139,000 tons for the fourth quarter were 110,000 tons greater than purchased cement sales volume for the fourth quarter a year ago. Prices have increased since the beginning of the calendar year in each of our markets resulting in a Company record fourth quarter average Cement net sales price of $73.59 per ton compared to $64.79 per ton for the same quarter a year ago.

     Fiscal 2005 operating earnings from Cement were $57.6 million, an increase of 14% compared to $50.5 million for fiscal 2004. Revenues from Cement were $211.3 million for fiscal 2005, 16% higher than last year’s revenues of $181.8 million.

PAPERBOARD

     EXP’s Paperboard operation reported fourth quarter revenues of $28.6 million, down 3% from revenues of $29.3 million for last year’s fourth quarter. Paperboard operating earnings of $5.6 million for the fourth quarter this year were level with the $5.6 million for last year’s fourth quarter. For this year’s fourth quarter, Paperboard sales volume was 59,000 tons, down 11% from last year’s sales volume of 66,000 tons. Gypsum Paperboard’s sales volumes were negatively impacted by the transportation issues experienced in our wallboard operation and customer outages. This year’s fourth quarter average net sales price of $466.59 per ton was 6% above last year’s fourth quarter net sales price of $438.55 per ton.

     Fiscal 2005 operating earnings from Paperboard were $25.4 million, an increase of 21% compared to $20.9 million for fiscal 2004. Revenues from Paperboard were $125.2 million for fiscal 2005, 11% higher than last year’s revenues of $112.4 million.

CONCRETE AND AGGREGATES

     Revenues from Concrete and Aggregates were $16.2 million for the fourth quarter, 30% greater than the $12.5 million for the fourth quarter a year ago. Concrete and Aggregates reported a $2.2 million operating profit for this year’s fourth quarter, up 445% from the $0.4 million for the same quarter last year, due to increased sales volume and pricing in both of our markets.

     Concrete sales volume increased 19% for the fourth quarter this year to 179,000 cubic yards from 151,000 cubic yards for the same quarter last year. EXP’s Concrete average net sales

3


 

price of $57.35 per cubic yard for the current quarter was 7% higher than the $53.62 per cubic yard for the fourth quarter a year ago.

     Our Aggregates operations reported sales volume of 1,082,000 tons for the current quarter, 35% above sales volume of 802,000 tons for the fourth quarter last year. Aggregates average net sales price increased 1% from the prior year to $5.32 per ton.

     Fiscal 2005 operating earnings from Concrete and Aggregates were $7.7 million, an increase of 30% compared to $6.0 million for fiscal 2004. Revenues from Concrete and Aggregates were $70.8 million for fiscal 2005, 12% higher than last year’s revenues of $63.1 million.
