News For Immediate Release

EAGLE MATERIALS INC. REPORTS

FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS

DALLAS, TX (July 28, 2011) – Eagle Materials Inc. (NYSE: EXP) today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 ended June 30, 2011. Notable items for the quarter include:

 

   

Revenues of $119.8 million

 

   

Earnings per diluted share of $0.07

 

   

Net earnings of $3.1 million

Industry demand for building materials and construction products remains weak and we continue to “right-size” our operations to respond to these lower levels of construction activity. Revenues decreased from the prior year primarily due to lower sales volumes across all of our major businesses.

Cement, Concrete and Aggregates

Cement revenues for the first quarter, including joint venture and intersegment revenues, totaled $60.1 million, 4% less than the same quarter last year. Operating earnings from Cement for the first quarter were $8.8 million, a 36% decline from the same quarter a year ago. Lower cement sales volumes and higher maintenance costs associated with scheduled maintenance at our Texas cement facility were the primary drivers of the quarterly earnings decline. Cement sales volumes for the quarter were 674,000 tons, 4% lower than the same quarter a year ago. The average net sales price for this quarter was $81.25 per ton, about flat with the same quarter last year.

Concrete and Aggregates reported an operating loss of $0.2 million for the first quarter, down from the $0.3 million operating profit for the same quarter a year ago, primarily due to lower aggregates sales volumes and net sales prices slightly offset by improved concrete volumes.

Revenues from Concrete and Aggregates were $11.8 million for the quarter, 5% greater than the same quarter a year ago. Concrete sales volume increased 16% from the same quarter a year ago to 136,000 cubic yards. Concrete average net sales price for the quarter of $61.04 per cubic yard was 5% less than the same quarter a year ago. Aggregates sales volumes of 612,000


tons for this quarter were 2% less than the sales volume for the same quarter a year ago. Aggregates average net sales price for the quarter was $5.88, down 3% compared to last year’s first quarter.

Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboard

Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboard’s first quarter operating earnings of $4.3 million were down 53% over the same quarter last year. Lower Gypsum Wallboard net sales prices and sales volumes were the primary driver of the quarterly earnings decline.

Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboard revenues for the first quarter totaled $70.3 million, a 9% decrease from the same quarter a year ago. The revenue decline reflects lower Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboard sales volumes and lower average Gypsum Wallboard net sales prices slightly offset by higher Paperboard net sales prices. The average Gypsum Wallboard net sales price this quarter was $90.03 per MSF, 8% less than the same quarter a year ago. Gypsum Wallboard sales volume for the quarter of 412 million square feet (MMSF) represents a 9% decline from the same quarter last year. The average Paperboard net sales price this quarter was $505.61 per ton, 5% higher than the same quarter a year ago. Paperboard sales volume for the quarter was 57,000 tons, 3% lower than the same quarter a year ago.

Details of Financial Results

We conduct one of our cement plant operations through a 50/50 joint venture, Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP (the “Joint Venture”). We utilize the equity method of accounting for our 50% interest in the 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 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 3 for a reconciliation of the amounts referred to above.

About Eagle Materials Inc.

Eagle Materials Inc. manufactures and distributes Cement, Gypsum Wallboard, Recycled Paperboard, Concrete and Aggregates from 25 facilities across the US. The Company is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
