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 as to future events. 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 businesses; fluctuations in 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; the availability and fluctuations in the cost of raw materials; changes in the costs of energy, including, without limitation, natural gas, coal and oil, and the nature of our obligations to counterparties under energy supply contracts, such as those related to market conditions (for example, spot market prices), governmental orders and other matters; changes in the cost and availability of transportation; unexpected operational difficulties, including unexpected maintenance costs, equipment downtime and interruption of production; material nonpayment or non-performance by any of our key customers; 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 and other environmental regulation); possible outcomes of pending or future litigation or arbitration proceedings; changes in economic conditions or the nature or level of activity in any one or more of the markets or industries in which the Company or its customers are engaged; severe weather conditions (such as winter storms, tornados and hurricanes) and their effects on our facilities, operations and contractual arrangements with third parties; competition; cyber-attacks or data security breaches; increases in capacity in the gypsum wallboard and cement industries; changes in the demand for residential housing construction or commercial construction or construction projects undertaken by state or local governments; the availability of acquisitions or other growth opportunities that meet our financial return standards and fit our strategic focus; risks related to pursuit of acquisitions, joint ventures and other transactions or the execution or implementation of such transactions, including the integration of operations acquired by the Company; general economic conditions, including inflation and recessionary conditions; and changes in interest rates and the resulting effects on the Company and demand for our products. 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) or the cost of our raw materials could affect the revenue 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. Finally, any forward-looking statements made by the Company are subject to the risks and impacts associated with natural disasters, pandemics or other unforeseen events, including, without limitation, the COVID-19 pandemic and responses thereto designed to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects, as well as their impact on economic conditions, capital and financial markets. These and other factors are described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and subsequent quarterly and annual reports upon filing. These reports are 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 Companys expectations.

End-Use Applications US Building Code and Specification Driven Cement is the essential binding material in concrete which has Unrivaled strength, durability, longevity and resilience Energy efficiency Doesnt burn, rust or rot Malleable at the jobsite Few practical cement substitutes, and some substitutes have diminishing availability, e.g., fly ash Provides comparable if not superior performance in terms of embodied carbon, resilience, safety, and climate adaptability when compared with other building materials Concrete is the most used building material in the world, and one that is critical for sustainable development US End-Use Cement Segments Wallboard Applications Applications Residential Construction ~30% ~80% and Repair and Remodeling Infrastructure, ~50% Roads and ~0% Bridges Non- ~20% Residential ~20% Construction The water molecule imbedded in gypsum wallboard chemistry provides an inherent fire resistance benefit that is essential in meeting US construction specifications There are few practical substitutes, and wallboard is not generally imported to the US from offshore

Environmental CO2 Measurement and Disclosure Notwithstanding our growth in cement (we grew our asset base 3x over recent years) we have continued to make significant progress in reducing our per unit CO2 emissions on our journey to value chain carbon neutrality Note: Year-to-year variations are heavily influenced by acquisitions, integration activities, divestitures and interval operating postures e.g., the largest acquisition in company history, Kosmos Cement, occurred in 2020 CO2e/ton cementitious product CO2e as reported 0.86 0.84 0.82 0.80 0.78 0.76 0.74 0.72 2011 2022 Note: Eagle Materials CO2 intensity history and methodology has been independently reviewed and verified by a third-party environmental consultancy (SLR Consulting, headquartered in the UK).

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation $ in millions, Fiscal Year Ending March 31 FY 21 FY 22 FY 23 Net Earnings, as reported $ 339 $ 374 $ 462 (Earnings) from Discontinued Operations (5) Income Tax Expense 90 101 127 Interest Expense 44 31 35 Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization 129 129 139 EBITDA from Continuing Operations $ 597 $ 635 $ 762 Gain on Sale of Businesses (52) Business Development Costs1 7 Purchase Accounting2 4 2 Loss on Early Retirement of Senior Notes 8 Stock-based Compensation3 15 14 17 Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations $ 571 $ 657 $ 782 We present Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations to provide more consistent comparison of operating performance from period to period. EBITDA from Continuing Operations is a non-GAAP financial measure that provides supplemental information regarding the operating performance of our business without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis. Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations is also a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact from non-routine items, such as purchase accounting (Non-routine Items) and stock-based compensation. Management uses EBITDA from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations as alternative bases for comparing the operating performance of Eagle from period to period and for purposes of its budgeting and planning processes. Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations in the same manner. Neither EBITDA from Continuing Operations nor Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations should be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP. The table beside shows the calculation of EBITDA from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and reconciles them to net earnings in accordance with GAAP for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. 1 Represents non-routine expenses associated with acquisitions and other strategic transactions. 2 Represents the cost impact of the fair value markup of acquired inventory. 3 The increase in stock-based compensation is due to the retirement of two senior executives during the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation $ in millions, Fiscal Year Ending March 31 FY 21 FY 22 FY 23 Total debt, excluding debt issuance costs $ 1,015 $ 950 $ 1,100 Cash and cash equivalents 264 19 15 Net Debt $ 751 $ 931 $ 1,084 Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations $ 571 $ 657 $ 782 Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations 1.3x 1.4x 1.4x GAAP does not define Net Debt and it should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow or liquidity measures defined by GAAP. We define Net Debt as total debt minus cash and cash equivalents to indicate the amount of total debt that would remain if the Company applied the cash and cash equivalents held by it to the payment of outstanding debt. The Company also uses Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, which it defines as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, as a metric of its current leverage position. We present this metric for the convenience of the investment community and rating agencies who use such metrics in their analysis, and for investors who need to understand the metrics we use to assess performance and monitor our cash and liquidity positions.
