Forward Looking Statement

Forward-Looking Statements. This presentation 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s actual performance include the following: the cyclical and seasonal nature of the Company’s business; public infrastructure expenditures; adverse weather conditions; the fact that our products are commodities and that prices for our products are subject to material fluctuation due to market conditions and other factors beyond our control; availability of raw materials; changes in energy costs including, without limitation, natural gas, coal and oil; changes in the cost and availability of transportation; unexpected operational difficulties; inability to timely execute announced capacity expansions; difficulties and delays in the development of new business lines; governmental regulation and changes in governmental and public policy (including, without limitation, climate change regulation); possible outcomes of pending or future litigation or arbitration proceedings; changes in economic conditions specific to any one or more of the Company’s 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, coal 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 Company’s result of operations. With respect to any acquisition, 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, the risk that we may not be able to integrate the acquired assets in an efficient and cost-effective manner with our other assets and operations, the possible inability to realize synergies or other expected benefits of the transaction, the possibility that we may incur significant costs relating to transition or integration activities or repair and maintenance of the acquired assets, the discovery of undisclosed liabilities associated with the business, theneed to repay the indebtedness incurred to fund the acquisition and the fact that increased debt may limit our ability to respond to any changes in general economic and business conditions that occur after the acquisition. These and other factors are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 This report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 Company’s expectations.

Concrete/Cement Value Proposition

In Relation to Asphalt, the Leading Substitute

Historically initial costs per construction mile have favored asphalt over concrete

Asphalt is used over 85% of the time in US highway and road construction, and this has been the case over many decades

Life cycle costs have always favored concrete over asphalt

Now initial costs per mile as well as life cycle costs favor concrete, driven by escalation in asphalt bitumen input costs (oil driven)

The cost cross-over point favoring concrete over asphalt occurred in 2008 but has been masked by the recession and long-standing historical practices

Concrete has, in fact, been gaining share over asphalt since 2008

Outlook is for a further strengthening of the concrete/cement value proposition

More rapid share gains for concrete are expected as the cost and performance advantages of concrete increase, as cost benefits are broadly understood, and as use adaptations occur

Outlook and Strategic Implications

A Game Changer for Cement and Asphalt

The price of asphalt is expected to continue to diverge from the price of concrete as oil price inflation remains higher than the cost inflation of the fuels used in producing cement (e.g., petcoke, shale gas)

High oil prices have also driven refineries to invest in cokers to extract more high grade products from crude — this has meant less production of bitumen and more production of petcoke, further extending the gap

Petroleum coke is a low-value solid by-product of the oil refining industry and this is reflected in pricing — decisions about production levels tend not to be made on the markets for petroleum coke; it is a waste recovery by-product “priced to move” rather than to store

Competition from concrete will limit asphalt’s ability to pass on costs

Well-positioned cement producers should enjoy increasing advantages

Shifting the Cement Product Mix to Oil Well Cement

A Company Priority

Eagle has been the pre-eminent US producer of oil well cement for decades

Strong value proposition for Eagle and a key profit growth opportunity

Eagle has the capability, know-how, permits and customer relationships required to effectively produce and market specialty oil-well cement, especially Class H, the grade used in the most demanding applications

The alternative for oil services companies is to apply additives to more conventional grade cement to achieve similar results – this can be more costly and less predictable

Frac Sand is a Natural, Close Adjacency for Eagle

Key Growth Opportunity and a Top Eagle Priority

Frac sand entry leverages Eagle’s existing

Customer base (oil well cement)

Owned distribution infrastructure that we have repurposed (Corpus Christi port terminal, proximate to Eagle Ford)

Processing expertise (aggregates)

Advantaged access to scarce northern white sand resource

Long-standing relationships (at Illinois Cement) enabled acquisition of a 50-year scale reserve deposit in Illinois

Northern white sand is the preferred proppant in oily plays — and increasingly so

Northern white sand deposits are not near any shale plays, so logistics is a key

Opportunity to create a low-cost system

Geology is Destiny – Quality Scarcity

Studies have shown geologic conditions creating these deposits are rare across the globe. England deposits are played out, limited quality deposits in Poland, Asia/Pacific and Arabia have lower crush strengths – implies a relatively low sand import threat (and long-term potential export possibilities).

Eagle Evolution Since Peak of Last Cycle

Long-Standing Goal of Doubling Peak-to-Peak Earnings Power

1. One-third more productive capacity in place

 

Cement: Illinois expansion (additional 470,000 tons)

 

Wallboard: Ultra-efficient plant built in Georgetown, SC

 

Paper: 350,000 ton capacity today (270,000 tons last peak)

2. Cement acquisitions increased capacity by 60% November 30, 2012

 

Two cement plants and related assets

3. Shift of cement product mix toward oil well and other specialties

 

Class H at Texas Lehigh was ~25% now over 50% of manufactured

4. We believe that over time our frac sand opportunity has as much earnings contribution potential as does cement or wallboard

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before (i) interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and (ii) certain other non-cash or non-routine items. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that provides supplemental information regarding the operating performance of our business without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost bases and is used as a benchmark for evaluating the creditworthiness of particular issuers. Adjusted EBITDA should not, however, be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flow from operations or any other measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP.
