EAGLE MATERIALS INC. REPORTS CONTINUED
GROWTH IN SALES VOLUMES AND EARNINGS
IN THE SECOND QUARTER
DALLAS, TX (October 29, 2012)Eagle Materials Inc. (NYSE: EXP) today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 which ended September 30, 2012. Notable items for the quarter include (all comparisons, unless noted, are with the prior-years second quarter):
| Revenues of $164.7 million, up 22% |
| Segment operating earnings of $41.3 million, up 146% |
| Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.49, up 250% |
| Adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by excluding non-routine items in the manner described in Attachment 5 |
| Total impact of non-routine items, including costs related to the pending acquisition of the Lafarge Target Business and litigation costs related to our lawsuit against the IRS, was $3.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share |
| Earnings per diluted share of $0.40, up 186% |
Second quarter sales volumes improved across all major business lines and wallboard net sales prices increased 30% as compared to the prior years second quarter. Improved second quarter operating cash flow was used to fund capital expenditures, pay dividends and reduce debt which further strengthened our financial position. Eagle ended the quarter with a net debt-to-capitalization ratio of 29%.
As previously announced on September 26, 2012, Eagle entered into a definitive agreement with Lafarge North America to purchase Lafarges Sugar Creek, Missouri and Tulsa, Oklahoma cement plants, as well as related assets, which include six distribution terminals, two aggregates quarries, eight ready-mix concrete plants and a fly ash business (the Lafarge Target Business).
The purchase price is $446 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Eagle expects that the acquisition will increase its U.S. annual cement capacity by approximately 60% to nearly 5 million tons. The acquisition is expected to close in November or December 2012, and is subject to receipt of required regulatory approvals, certain third-party consents and other customary conditions.
On October 3, 2012, Eagle also completed the public offering of 3.45 million shares of its common stock, which includes 450,000 shares issued pursuant to the underwriters exercise in full of their overallotment option, at a price to the public of $46.50 per share. Total gross proceeds from the equity offering were $160.4 million. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $154.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses related to the offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds, together with borrowings under its bank credit facility, to fund the pending acquisition of the Lafarge Target Business.
Cement, Concrete and Aggregates
Operating earnings from Cement for the second quarter were $17.4 million, a 15% increase from the same quarter a year ago. Cement revenues for the quarter, including joint venture and intersegment revenues, totaled $78.5 million, 8% greater than the same quarter last year. Cement sales volumes for the quarter were 864,000 tons, 6% above the same quarter a year ago. The average net sales price this quarter was $82.77 per ton, 2% higher than the same quarter last year.
Concrete and Aggregates reported a $0.4 million operating loss for the second quarter, down from a slight operating profit for the same quarter a year ago, primarily due to lower concrete sales volumes and lower aggregates sales volumes in Northern California.
Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboard
Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboards second quarter operating earnings of $24.2 million were up 1,513% compared to the same quarter last year. Higher wallboard average net sales prices, higher gypsum wallboard and gypsum paperboard sales volumes and lower recycled paper input costs were the primary driver of the quarterly earnings increase.
Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboard revenues for the second quarter totaled $96.5 million, a 33% increase from the same quarter a year ago. The revenue increase reflects primarily higher wallboard average net sales prices and sales volumes.
The average gypsum wallboard net sales price for the second quarter was $119.44 per MSF, 30% greater than the same quarter a year ago. Gypsum Wallboard sales volume for the quarter of 500 million square feet (MMSF) represents a 24% increase from the same quarter last year. The average Paperboard net sales price for this quarter was $512.12 per ton, 2% lower than the same quarter a year ago. Paperboard sales volumes for the quarter were 62,000 tons, 3% higher than the same quarter a year ago.
Details of Financial Results
Acquisition and Litigation Expense consists of direct costs related to our pending acquisition of the Lafarge Target Business and the write-off of deferred project costs associated with a greenfield cement project that will no longer be pursued due to the pending acquisition and
2
legal fees related to our lawsuit against the IRS. Direct acquisition costs were approximately $3.5 million (pre-tax), greenfield write-off costs were approximately $1.0 million (pre-tax) and legal fees were approximately $1.2 million (pre-tax) during the quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP, one of our cement plant operations, is conducted through a 50/50 joint venture (the Joint Venture). We utilize the equity method of accounting for our 50% interest in the Joint Venture. For segment reporting purposes we proportionately consolidate our 50% share of the Joint Ventures revenues and operating earnings, which is consistent with the way management organizes the segments in the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
In addition, for segment reporting purposes, we report intersegment revenues as a part of a segments total revenues. Intersegment sales are eliminated on the income statement. Refer to Attachment 3 for a reconciliation of the amounts referred to above.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the context of the statement and generally arise when the Company is discussing its beliefs, estimates or expectations. These statements are not historical facts or guarantees of future performance but instead represent only the Companys belief at the time the statements were made regarding future events which are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors many of which are outside the Companys control. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. The principal risks and uncertainties that may affect the Companys actual performance include the following: the cyclical and seasonal nature of the Companys business; public infrastructure expenditures; adverse weather conditions; availability of raw materials; changes in energy costs including, without limitation, natural gas and oil; changes in the cost and availability of transportation; unexpected operational difficulties; inability to timely execute announced capacity expansions; governmental regulation and changes in governmental and public policy (including, without limitation, climate change regulation); changes in economic conditions specific to any one or more of the Companys markets; competition; announced increases in capacity in the gypsum wallboard and cement industries; changes in the demand for residential housing construction or commercial construction; general economic conditions; and interest rates. For example, increases in interest rates, decreases in demand for construction materials or increases in the cost of energy (including, without limitation, natural gas and oil) could affect the revenues and operating earnings of our operations. In addition, changes in national or regional economic conditions and levels of infrastructure and construction spending could also adversely affect the Companys result of operations. These and other factors are described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012. These reports are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. With respect to our proposed acquisition of certain assets from Lafarge as described in this press release, factors, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events and developments to vary materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, our ability to complete the acquisition within the expected timeframe or at all, failure to realize the expected benefits of the transaction, possible negative effects of announcement or consummation of the transaction, significant transaction costs or unknown liabilities, and general economic and business conditions that may affect us following acquisition. All forward-looking statements made herein are made as of the date hereof, and the risk that actual results will differ materially from expectations expressed herein will increase with the passage of time. The Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to reflect future events or changes in the Companys expectations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(unaudited)
(Dollars, other than earnings per share amounts, and number of shares in millions)
Adjusted earnings per diluted share (Adjusted EPS) is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents earnings per diluted share excluding the impacts from non-routine items, including costs related to our pending acquisition of the Lafarge Target Business and litigation costs related to our lawsuit against the IRS (Non-routine Items). Management uses measures of earnings excluding the impact of Non-routine Items as a basis for comparing operating results of the Company from period to period and for purposes of its budgeting and planning processes. Management believes Adjusted EPS represents the most comparable operating performance measure to compare the three months ended September 30, 2012 to the same period during the prior year. Although management believes that Adjusted EPS is useful in evaluating the Companys business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for earnings per diluted share and the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our presentation of Adjusted EPS may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
The following shows the calculation of Adjusted EPS and reconciles Adjusted EPS to earnings per diluted share in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended September 30, 2012:
