News For Immediate Release

EAGLE MATERIALS REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER RESULTS WITH 16% EPS GROWTH

DALLAS, TX (July 30, 2024) Eagle Materials Inc. (NYSE: EXP) today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 ended June 30, 2024. Notable items for the quarter are highlighted below. (Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are with the prior year’s fiscal first quarter):

First Quarter Fiscal 2025 Highlights

Commenting on the first quarter results, Michael Haack, President and CEO, said, “Fiscal 2025 is off to a solid start for Eagle, with record revenue of $608.7 million, EPS of $3.94, and gross margins of 30.7%, an increase of 140 bps. Our portfolio of businesses continued to perform well despite adverse weather conditions during the quarter across many of our core markets, which affected sales volumes for our Cement and Concrete and Aggregates businesses. We repurchased approximately 348,000 shares of our common stock for $85.5 million and ended the quarter with debt of $1.1 billion and a net leverage ratio (net debt to Adjusted EBITDA) of 1.3x, giving us substantial financial flexibility that supports disciplined capital allocation and long-term growth.” (Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from debt as described in Attachment 6).

Mr. Haack continued, “Underlying fundamentals in our markets continue to be favorable, and we expect demand for our products to remain steady for the balance of the year. Construction spending on infrastructure and heavy industrial projects continues to drive cement demand. In addition, despite some interest-rate sensitivity, residential construction activity remains resilient, given chronic housing-supply shortages and continued underlying demand strength. Our well-positioned balance sheet, significant cashflow generation and consistent, disciplined operational and strategic execution through shifting economic cycles positions Eagle for another strong fiscal year.”

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 $400.2 million, a 1% improvement. Heavy Materials operating earnings increased 14% to $92.1 million primarily because of higher Cement sales prices partially offset by lower Cement sales volume.

Cement revenue, including Joint Venture and intersegment revenue, was up 3% to $339.2 million. Operating earnings increased 20% to $89.1 million reflecting higher Cement sales prices partially offset by lower Cement sales volume. Additionally, Cement operating costs benefitted from lower fuel costs, and cost control initiatives in our preventative maintenance programs, and because the prior year’s first quarter included approximately $2.8 million of costs associated with the step-up in inventory values related to the Stockton Terminal Acquisition. The average net Cement sales price for the quarter increased 6% to $156.10 per ton. Cement sales volume for the quarter declined 3% to 1.9 million tons, as adverse weather conditions in many of our markets, most notably in Texas and the Midwest, delayed several construction projects and affected shipments.

Concrete and Aggregates revenue was down 9% to $61.0 million, and operating earnings declined 58% to $3.0 million, reflecting lower Concrete and Aggregates sales volume partially offset by increased Concrete and Aggregates prices.

Light Materials: Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboard

Revenue in the Light Materials sector, which includes Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboard, increased 2% to $248.1 million, primarily because of higher Gypsum Wallboard sales prices partially offset by lower Gypsum Wallboard sales volume. Gypsum Wallboard sales volume declined 1% to 757 million square feet (MMSF), while the average net sales price increased 1% to $239.43 per MSF.

Paperboard sales volume was up 10% to a record 91,000 tons. The average Paperboard net sales price in the quarter was $597.41 per ton, up 11%, consistent with the pricing provisions in our long-term sales agreements that factor in changes to input costs.

Operating earnings in the Light Materials sector were $102.5 million, an increase of 5%, reflecting higher Gypsum Wallboard sales prices and lower operating costs, most notably energy and maintenance costs.

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 income statement. Refer to Attachment 3 for a reconciliation of these amounts.

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 June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024:

Attachment 6, continued

Reconciliation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

GAAP does not define “Net Debt” and it should not be considered as an alternative to debt as 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 an alternative metric to assist it in understanding its 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.
