EAGLE MATERIALS REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER RESULTS WITH 15% EPS GROWTH

DALLAS, TX (October 26, 2023) Eagle Materials Inc. (NYSE: EXP) today reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 ended September 30, 2023. Notable items for the quarter are highlighted below (unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are with the prior year’s fiscal second quarter):

Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Highlights

Commenting on the second quarter results, Michael Haack, President and CEO, said, “Market conditions for our construction materials remained resilient during the quarter, even as the Fed continued to raise interest rates and tighten money supply to contain inflation. Several factors helped offset the higher rates and supported demand for wallboard and cement, including limited housing supply, strong homebuyer demand, increasing infrastructure awards and significant investment in domestic manufacturing facilities.

Against this backdrop, our businesses performed well. We generated record revenue of $622 million and record EPS of $4.26, and we expanded gross margins by 150 bps to 33.6%. Cash flow from operations was $172.4 million. We returned $86 million of cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends, while using our strong cashflow to strengthen our balance sheet: at September 30, 2023, Eagle’s net debt was $1.1 billion, and our net adjusted leverage ratio (net debt to Adjusted EBITDA) was 1.3x. We also made progress on our strategic initiatives. We increased production and sales of Portland Limestone Cement, to more than 60% across our system, and we continued the integration of our recently acquired cement import terminal in Stockton, California.

Mr. Haack continued, “In our Heavy Materials business, as demand remained strong and our operations remained nearly sold-out, we implemented a second round of cement price increases in early July across half our markets and announced the next round of price increases for early January 2024. In our Light Materials sector, the backlog of housing construction supported resilient wallboard shipments and orders, but we recognize the significant increase in interest rates may have an impact on residential construction activity in the future. Nonetheless, we expect that our portfolio of businesses will remain well-positioned for the second half of fiscal 2024.”

Segment Financial Results

Heavy Materials: Cement, Concrete and Aggregates

Revenue in the Heavy Materials sector, which includes Cement, Concrete and Aggregates, Joint Venture and intersegment Cement revenue, was $426.9 million, a 10% increase. Heavy Materials operating earnings were up 19% to $126.1 million. Both the increase in revenue and operating earnings were primarily attributable to higher Cement sales prices.

Cement revenue for the quarter, including Joint Venture and intersegment revenue, was up 13% to $360.8 million, and operating earnings were a record $121.4 million, up 23%. These increases reflect higher Cement net sales prices and the contribution of approximately $13 million of revenue from the recently acquired Stockton Terminal, which helped mitigate an overall decrease in sales volume. The increase in operating earnings was partially offset by the impact of the step-up in inventory values related to the acquisition of the Stockton Terminal. The average net sales price for the quarter was up 15% to $151.99 per ton, reflecting Cement price increases implemented in January 2023 and a second round of price increases implemented in early July 2023. Cement sales volume decreased 1% to 2.1 million tons. Excluding the recently acquired Stockton Terminal, Cement sales volume declined 5%, because of wet weather in several markets and extreme heat in our southern markets throughout the quarter.

Concrete and Aggregates revenue decreased 5% to $66.1 million, reflecting lower Concrete sales volume partially offset by higher Concrete pricing. Second quarter operating earnings declined 36% to $4.6 million, primarily reflecting lower Concrete sales volume and higher cost of materials.

Light Materials: Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboard

Revenue in the Light Materials sector, which includes Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboard, decreased 8% to $233.5 million, reflecting lower Wallboard and Paperboard sales volume and lower Paperboard sales prices. Gypsum Wallboard sales volume declined 6% to 733 million square feet (MMSF), while the average Gypsum Wallboard net sales price was flat with the prior year at $233.69 per MSF.

Paperboard sales volume for the quarter was down 6% from the prior year at 80,000 tons, in line with overall gypsum wallboard shipments. The average Paperboard net sales price was $542.28 per ton, down 10%, consistent with the pricing provisions in our long-term sales agreements that factor in changes to input costs.

2

Operating earnings in the sector were $93.3 million, a decrease of 2%, reflecting lower Wallboard sales volume, partially offset by lower raw material costs, namely recycled fiber and energy.

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 use 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 revenue 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 revenue as a part of a segment’s total revenue. Intersegment sales are eliminated on the consolidated income statement. Refer to Attachment 3 for a reconciliation of these amounts.

Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (Adjusted EPS)

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents net earnings per diluted share excluding the impacts from non-routine items, such as purchase accounting (Non-routine Items). Management uses measures of earnings excluding the impact of Non-routine Items as a performance measure in order to compare operating results of the Company from period to period and for purposes of its budgeting and planning processes. Although management believes that Adjusted EPS is useful in evaluating the Company’s 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 net earnings per diluted share in accordance with GAAP for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We present Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA to provide additional measures of operating performance and allow for more consistent comparison of operating performance from period to period. EBITDA 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 is also a non-GAAP financial measure that further excludes the impact from non-routine items and stock-based compensation. Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity in accordance with GAAP. The following shows the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles them to net earnings in accordance with GAAP for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023:

Attachment 7

Eagle Materials Inc.

Reconciliation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

(unaudited)

(dollars in thousands)

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,” which it defines as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months, 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.
