MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
FORM 10-Q
For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2009
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the “Corporation”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The Corporation has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2009. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods. The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not indicative of the results expected for other interim periods or the full year.
 
  Accounting Changes
 
  In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, beginning January 1, 2009, if the Corporation is required to record any nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities at fair value, they are measured in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.
 
  On January 1, 2009, the Corporation adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“FAS 141(R)”) and No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51 (“FAS 160”). FAS 141(R) requires recognizing the full fair value of all assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling minority interests in acquisitions of less than a 100% controlling interest; expensing all acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs; capitalizing in-process research and development assets acquired; and recognizing contingent consideration obligations and contingent gains acquired and contingent losses assumed. FAS 160 requires the classification of noncontrolling interests as a separate component of equity and net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests as a separate line item on the face of the income statement. FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 require prospective application for all business combinations with acquisition dates on or after the effective date. As disclosed in Note 2, on June 12, 2009, the Corporation acquired three quarry locations plus the remaining 49% interest in an existing joint venture from CEMEX, Inc.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
  Accounting Changes (continued)
 
  FAS 160 also requires retrospective application of its disclosure and presentation requirements for all periods presented. Accordingly, noncontrolling interests at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, which were previously reported as other noncurrent liabilities, have been reclassified as a separate component of equity. Furthermore, net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 have been presented as a separate line item on the Corporation’s consolidated statement of earnings. Consolidated comprehensive earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were also adjusted to include the comprehensive earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests.
 
  On January 1, 2009, the Corporation retrospectively adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). Under FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and, therefore, included in computing earnings per share (EPS) pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends or dividend equivalents and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Corporation pays non-forfeitable dividend equivalents during the vesting period on its restricted stock awards and incentive stock awards, which results in these being considered participating securities. The adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 decreased previously-reported basic EPS by $0.02 and previously-reported diluted EPS by $0.01 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 decreased previously-reported basic EPS by $0.03 and previously-reported diluted EPS by $0.01.
 
  Earnings per Common Share
 
  The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share is net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., reduced by dividends and undistributed earnings attributable to the Corporation’s unvested restricted stock awards and incentive stock awards. The denominator for basic earnings per common share is the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are computed assuming that the weighted-average number of common shares is increased by the conversion, using the treasury stock method, of awards to be issued to employees and nonemployee members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors under certain stock-based compensation arrangements. The diluted per-share computations reflect a change in the number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

  Subsequent Events
 
  The Corporation has evaluated subsequent events through August 4, 2009, which represents the date the Corporation’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
  Reclassifications
 
  Certain 2008 amounts, in addition to those required by FAS 160, have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of operations or financial position.
 
2. Business Combinations and Discontinued Operations
 
  Business Combinations
 
  On June 12, 2009, the Corporation acquired three quarry locations plus the remaining 49% interest in an existing joint venture from CEMEX, Inc. The quarry operations are located at Fort Calhoun, Nebraska; Guernsey, Wyoming; and Milford, Utah. Guernsey and Milford are rail-connected quarries while Fort Calhoun ships material via barge on the Missouri River in addition to its local and long-haul truck market in Nebraska. The 49% interest purchased relates to the Granite Canyon, Wyoming, quarry (“Granite Canyon”) where the Corporation is the operating manager. Granite Canyon is a major supplier of railroad ballast serving both the Union Pacific Railroad and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway. The acquired locations enhance the Corporation’s existing long-haul distribution network and provide attractive product synergies. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Corporation’s newly acquired locations, including the partial interest only in Granite Canyon, shipped 3.3 million tons and have aggregates reserves that exceed 250 million tons.
 
  The purchase price for the three quarries plus the remaining 49% interest in Granite Canyon was $65,000,000, which represents the fair value of the assets (cash) given to CEMEX, Inc. Of the total purchase price, the Corporation allocated $48,000,000 to the three quarry locations and $17,000,000 to Granite Canyon based on the locations’ relative fair values.

2. Business Combinations and Discontinued Operations (continued)
 
  The three new quarry locations represent a business combination and have been accounted for in accordance with FAS 141(R), which requires the purchase price to be allocated to the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The Corporation recognized goodwill in the amount of $5,277,000, all of which is deductible for income tax purposes. The preliminary fair values of the other assets acquired related to the three quarry locations were allocated as follows (dollars in thousands):
     
Inventories
 $1,918 
Mineral reserves and interests
 $26,930 
Land
 $1,220 
Machinery and equipment
 $12,533 
Customer relationships
 $290 
  The $48,000,000 purchase price for the three acquired quarries has been classified as an investing activity in the Corporation’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009. In addition, the operating results of the acquired quarries have been included with those of the Corporation since the date of acquisition and are being reported through the Corporation’s West Group in the financial statements.
 
  The purchase of the remaining 49% interest in Granite Canyon represents an equity transaction in accordance with FAS 160. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities related to the noncontrolling interest continued to be valued at their basis at the transaction date; the noncontrolling interest of $4,526,000 was eliminated; additional paid-in capital was reduced by $7,601,000 for the excess of the cash paid, including transaction costs, over the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date; and a deferred tax asset of $4,933,000 was recorded. In accordance with FAS 160, the total purchase price of $17,060,000 for Granite Canyon has been classified as a financing activity in the Corporation’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
  Discontinued Operations
 
  Operations that are disposed of or permanently shut down represent discontinued operations, and, therefore, the results of their operations through the dates of disposal and any gain or loss on disposals are included in discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of earnings. All discontinued operations relate to the Aggregates business.

5. Long-Term Debt (continued)
 
  On April 23, 2009, the Corporation entered into a $130,000,000 unsecured term loan with a syndicate of banks (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan bears interest, at the Corporation’s option, at rates based upon LIBOR or a base rate, plus, for each rate, basis points related to a pricing grid. The base rate is defined as the highest of (i) the bank’s prime lending rate, (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1%. At June 30, 2009, the interest rate on the Term Loan was based on one-month LIBOR plus 300 basis points, or 3.31%. At June 30, 2009, the outstanding balance on the Term Loan was $128,375,000. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $1,625,000 through March 31, 2011 and $3,250,000 thereafter, with the remaining outstanding principal due in full on June 6, 2012.
 
  On April 21, 2009, the Corporation entered into a $100,000,000 three-year secured accounts receivable credit facility (the “AR Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”). The AR Credit Facility provides for borrowings, on a revolving basis, of up to 90% of the Corporation’s eligible accounts receivable less than 90 days old and bears interest at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 2.75%. Under the AR Credit Facility, purchases and settlements will be made bi-weekly between the Corporation and Wells Fargo. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions in the AR Credit Facility, Wells Fargo may determine which receivables are eligible receivables, may determine the amount it will advance on such receivables, and may require the Corporation to repay advances made on receivables and thereby repay amounts outstanding under the AR Credit Facility. Wells Fargo also has the right to require the Corporation to repurchase receivables that remain outstanding 90 days past their invoice date. The Corporation continues to be responsible for the servicing and administration of the receivables purchased. The Corporation will carry the receivables and any outstanding borrowings on its consolidated balance sheet. During the second quarter of 2009, the Corporation borrowed $100,000,000 under the AR Credit Facility, which was subsequently repaid in full. At June 30, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Corporation’s AR Credit Facility.
 
  The Corporation’s $325,000,000 five-year revolving credit agreement, Term Loan and AR Credit Facility are subject to a leverage ratio covenant. The covenant requires the Corporation’s ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), as defined, for the trailing twelve months (the “Ratio”) to not exceed 3.25 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Corporation may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with acquisitions for a period of 180 days so long as the Corporation maintains specified ratings on its long-term unsecured debt and the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 3.50 to 1.00. The Corporation was in compliance with the Ratio at June 30, 2009.

5. Long-Term Debt (continued)
 
  On April 16, 2008, the Corporation unwound its two forward starting interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $150,000,000 (the “Swap Agreements”). The Corporation made a cash payment of $11,139,000, which represented the fair value of the Swap Agreements on the date of termination. The accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, at the date of termination is being recognized in earnings over the life of the 6.6% Senior Notes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Corporation recognized $208,000 and $411,000, respectively, net of tax, as additional interest expense. The accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the Swap Agreements at June 30, 2009 was $6,145,000, net of cumulative noncurrent deferred tax assets of $4,020,000. The ongoing amortization of the terminated value of the Swap Agreements will increase annual interest expense by approximately $1,000,000 until the maturity of the 6.6% Senior Notes in 2018.
 
6. Financial Instruments
 
  The Corporation’s financial instruments include temporary cash investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, bank overdraft, publicly registered long-term notes and debentures and other long-term debt.
 
  Temporary cash investments are placed primarily in money market funds and Eurodollar time deposits with the following financial institutions: Bank of America, N.A., Branch Banking and Trust Company, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.. The Corporation’s cash equivalents have maturities of less than three months. Due to the short maturity of these investments, they are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at cost, which approximates fair value.
 
  Customer receivables are due from a large number of customers, primarily in the construction industry, and are dispersed across wide geographic and economic regions. However, customer receivables are more heavily concentrated in certain states (namely, North Carolina, Texas, Georgia, Iowa and Florida which accounted for approximately 60% of the Aggregate Business’ 2008 net sales). The estimated fair values of customer receivables approximate their carrying amounts.
 
  Notes receivable are primarily related to divestitures and are not publicly traded. However, using current market interest rates, but excluding adjustments for credit worthiness, if any, management estimates that the fair value of notes receivable approximates its carrying amount.
 
  The bank overdraft represents the float of outstanding checks. The estimated fair value of the bank overdraft approximates its carrying value.

6. Financial Instruments (continued)
 
  The estimated fair value of the Corporation’s publicly registered long-term notes and debentures at June 30, 2009 was $1,022,217,000, compared with a carrying amount of $1,144,914,000 on the consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of this long-term debt was estimated based on quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of other borrowings, including the Corporation’s Term Loan, was $137,044,000 at June 30, 2009 and approximates its carrying amount.
 
  The carrying values and fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments at June 30, 2009 are as follows (dollars in thousands):
         
  Carrying Value Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents
 $133,380  $133,380 
Accounts receivable, net
 $250,340  $250,340 
Notes receivable
 $12,107  $12,107 
Bank overdraft
 $1,692  $1,692 
Long-term debt
 $1,281,958  $1,159,261 
7. Income Taxes
 
  As required by FAS 160, income tax expense reported on the Corporation’s consolidated statements of earnings includes income taxes on earnings attributable to both controlling and noncontrolling interests.
         
  Six Months Ended June 30,
  2009 2008
Estimated effective income tax rate:
        
Continuing operations
  28.4 %  29.4 %
 
        
Discontinued operations
  30.4 %  40.3 %
 
        
Consolidated Overall
  28.4 %  30.2 %
 
        
  The Corporation’s effective income tax rate reflects the effect of state income taxes and the impact of differences in book and tax accounting arising from the net permanent benefits associated with the depletion allowances for mineral reserves, the domestic production deduction and the tax effect of nondeductibility of goodwill related to asset sales. The effective income tax rates for discontinued operations reflect the tax effects of individual operations’ transactions and are not indicative of the Corporation’s overall effective income tax rate.
 
  The change in the year-to-date consolidated overall estimated effective income tax rate during the second quarter of 2009, when compared with the year-to-date consolidated overall effective tax rate as of March 31, 2009, decreased consolidated net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2009 by $1,482,000, or $0.03 per diluted share.

9. Contingencies
 
  In the opinion of management and counsel, it is unlikely that the outcome of litigation and other proceedings, including those pertaining to environmental matters, relating to the Corporation and its subsidiaries, will have a material adverse effect on the results of the Corporation’s operations or its financial position.

12. Accrual for Reduction in Workforce
 
  During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Corporation accrued severance and other termination benefits for certain employees that were terminated as part of a reduction in workforce designed to control its cost structure. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Corporation paid $889,000 and $2,061,000, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the severance arrangements. The remaining accrual of $2,144,000 at June 30, 2009 is expected to be paid within the upcoming twelve months.
 
13. Sale of Equity Securities
 
  On March 5, 2009, the Corporation entered into a distribution agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“J.P. Morgan”). Under the distribution agreement, the Corporation could offer and sell up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300,000,000 from time to time through J.P. Morgan, as distribution agent. From March 5, 2009 through March 31, 2009, the Corporation sold 3,051,365 shares of its common stock at an average price of $77.90 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Corporation of $237,701,000. The aggregate net proceeds from such sales were $232,827,000 after deducting related expenses, including $4,800,000 in gross sales commissions paid to J.P. Morgan. The Corporation did not sell any shares of its common stock pursuant to the distribution agreement during the three months ended June 30, 2009.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
OVERVIEW Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the “Corporation”), conducts its operations through four reportable business segments: Mideast Group, Southeast Group, West Group (collectively, the “Aggregates business”) and Specialty Products. The Corporation’s net sales and earnings are predominately derived from its Aggregates business, which processes and sells granite, limestone, and other aggregates products from a network of 289 quarries, distribution facilities and plants to customers in 30 states, Canada, the Bahamas and the Caribbean Islands. The Aggregates business’ products are used primarily by commercial customers principally in domestic construction of highways and other infrastructure projects and for commercial and residential buildings. The Specialty Products segment produces magnesia-based chemicals products used in industrial, agricultural and environmental applications and dolomitic lime sold primarily to customers in the steel industry.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Corporation outlined its critical accounting policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2009.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Except as indicated, the following comparative analysis in the Results of Operations section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflects results from continuing operations and is based on net sales and cost of sales.
Gross margin as a percentage of net sales and operating margin as a percentage of net sales represent non-GAAP measures. The Corporation presents these ratios calculated based on net sales, as it is consistent with the basis by which management reviews the Corporation’s operating results. Further, management believes it is consistent with the basis by which investors analyze the Corporation’s operating results given that freight and delivery revenues and costs represent pass-throughs and have no profit mark-up. Gross margin and operating margin calculated as percentages of total revenues represent the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The following tables present the calculations of gross margin and operating margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the ratios as percentages of total revenues to percentages of net sales (dollars in thousands):

Given the economic climate, the second quarter was predictably difficult as management continued to guide the business through the worst recession since the 1930’s. The 3.7% increase in heritage aggregates pricing was achieved despite a 25.6% decline in second quarter heritage aggregates volume compared with the prior-year quarter, which was exacerbated by weather. The extended economic downturn has significantly affected state budgets, and the Corporation is experiencing a more pronounced pullback in infrastructure construction spending than expected. In terms of aggregates shipments, May is historically the strongest month of the year. However, three of the Corporation’s top five states, specifically, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida, experienced record rainfall, making this May the weakest month of the quarter, with shipments declining 30% compared with the prior-year period.
Commercial construction activity remains weak, primarily in office and retail construction. However, there has been a resurgence in alternative-energy construction projects, namely wind farms in Iowa, and the Corporation is benefiting from those projects as well as the continued strength of the farm economy through its position in the Midwest. Further, while little has changed at mid-year with respect to residential construction, indicators increasingly point to the beginning of a recovery in the second half of 2009.

(4) Divestitures include the tons related to divested aggregates product line operations up to the date of divestiture.
The Aggregates business is significantly affected by seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions. Aggregates production and shipment levels coincide with general construction activity levels, most of which occurs in the spring, summer and fall. Thus, production and shipment levels vary by quarter. Operations concentrated in the northern United States generally experience more severe winter weather conditions than operations in the Southeast and Southwest. Excessive rainfall, and conversely excessive drought, can also jeopardize shipments, production and profitability. Because of the potentially significant impact of weather on the Corporation’s operations, second quarter results are not indicative of expected performance for other interim periods or the full year.

Specialty Products’ net sales were $33.2 million for the second quarter 2009 compared with $45.2 million for the prior-year period. The decrease in net sales is due to reduced dolomitic lime shipments to the steel industry and slowing magnesia chemicals sales consistent with declines in general industrial demand. The Specialty Products business has responded to this slowdown through workforce downsizing to match current demand, a reduction in required maintenance activities and limiting contract services. These measures, together with a decrease in the cost and consumption of natural gas, combined to expand gross profit margin by 350 basis points over the second quarter 2009 to 30.9%. Earnings from operations for the quarter of $7.8 million decreased $1.9 million compared with the prior-year quarter.
By maintaining its focus on operating performance and cost discipline, the Corporation expanded consolidated gross profit margin excluding freight and delivery revenues by 70 basis points over the same period in 2008 to 27.2%. The gross profit margin improvement was driven by a 3.7% increase in heritage aggregates pricing as well as an $87.4 million, or 22.6%, decline in consolidated cost of sales. The lower cost of sales was achieved despite expected increases in both depreciation and pension costs. Energy costs were down $27 million, or 45%, from the second quarter of 2008. A 58% decline in the cost of diesel fuel was the primary component.
The following presents a rollforward of the Corporation’s gross profit (dollars in thousands):

Personnel costs declined $2.6 million, after absorbing a $1.5 million increase in pension expense. The Corporation’s objective continues to be to reduce selling, general and administrative spending after absorbing the pension expense increase expected this year.

Among other items, other operating income and expenses, net, includes gains and losses on the sale of assets; gains and losses related to certain accounts receivable; rental, royalty and services income; and the accretion and depreciation expenses related to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. For the second quarter, consolidated other operating income and expenses, net, was an expense of $1.8 million in 2009 compared with income of $7.6 million in 2008. Second quarter 2009 and 2008 consolidated other operating income and expenses, net, included several nonrecurring items. Second quarter 2009 included $1.7 million of transaction costs and $1.2 million of property losses. Second quarter 2008 results included a $7.2 million gain on the disposals of an idle facility north of San Antonio, Texas (West Group), and land in Henderson, North Carolina (Mideast Group) in connection with the exchange transaction with Vulcan Materials Company (“VMC”).
For the second quarter, consolidated earnings from operations were $73.0 million in 2009, compared with $104.9 million in 2008. Consolidated operating margin excluding freight and delivery revenues was 17.8% for the second quarter of 2009 compared with 19.9% in the second quarter of 2008. Excluding the effects of the nonrecurring items recorded in other operating income and expenses, net, operating margin excluding freight and delivery revenues for second quarter of 2009 and 2008 would have been 18.5% and 18.6%, respectively.
Interest expense was $18.7 million for the second quarter 2009 as compared with $19.3 million for the prior-year quarter. The decrease primarily resulted from lower outstanding borrowings during the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared with the prior-year quarter.
In addition to other offsetting amounts, other nonoperating income and expenses, net, are comprised generally of interest income and net equity earnings from nonconsolidated investments. Consolidated other nonoperating income and expenses, net, for the quarter ended June 30, was income of $1.3 million in 2009 compared with income of $0.4 million in 2008, primarily as a result of higher interest income and a higher gain on foreign currency transactions.

Net sales for the Aggregates business for the six months ended June 30 were $675.2 million in 2009, a 19.1% decline versus 2008 net sales of $834.6 million. The decrease in net sales is due to the recession and wet weather conditions in several of the Corporation’s top revenue-generating states. Aggregates pricing at heritage locations was up 3.6%, while volume decreased 23.0%. Inclusive of acquisitions and divestitures, aggregates pricing for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased 3.8% and aggregates product line volume decreased 23.3%.
The following tables present volume and pricing data and shipments data for the aggregates product line. Heritage aggregates operations exclude volume and pricing data for acquisitions that were not included in prior-year operations for the comparable period and divestitures.

Specialty Products’ net sales were $66.4 million for the first six months of 2009 compared with $88.1 million for the prior-year period. The decrease in net sales is due to reduced dolomitic lime shipments to the steel industry and slowing magnesia chemicals sales.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009
(Continued)
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined $5.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009, with other savings offsetting a $3.3 million increase in pension expense. The Corporation’s objective continues to be to reduce selling, general and administrative spending after absorbing pension expense increases.
For the six months ended June 30, consolidated other operating income and expenses, net, was an expense of $2.1 million in 2009 compared with income of $13.2 million in 2008 and included several nonrecurring items. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included $1.7 million of transaction costs and $1.2 million of property losses. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2008 included a $5.5 million gain on the sale of land (Mideast Group) and a $7.2 million gain on the disposals of an idle facility north of San Antonio, Texas (West Group), and land in Henderson, North Carolina (Mideast Group) in connection with the exchange transaction with VMC.
Consolidated operating margin excluding freight and delivery revenues was 11.3% for the six months ended June 30 2009 compared with 16.0% in the prior-year period. The 2009 decrease of 470 basis points as compared with 2008 is due to the Corporation’s lower gross margin excluding freight and delivery revenues and lower other operating income and expenses, net. Excluding the nonrecurring items recorded in other operating income and expenses, net, operating margin excluding freight and delivery revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 would have been 11.7% and 14.6%, respectively.
Consolidated interest expense was $37.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared with $35.1 million for the prior-year period. The increase primarily resulted from interest for the $130 million Term Loan issued in April 2009, as well as other short-term borrowings.
The change in the year-to-date consolidated overall estimated effective income tax rate during the second quarter of 2009, when compared with the year-to-date consolidated overall effective tax rate as of March 31, 2009, decreased consolidated net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2009 by $1.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $116.7 million compared with $126.5 million in the comparable period of 2008. Operating cash flow is generally from consolidated net earnings, before deducting depreciation, depletion and amortization, offset by working capital requirements. Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2009 as compared with the year-earlier period reflects lower consolidated net earnings before depreciation, depletion and amortization and a higher buildup of inventories due to declining shipment volumes, which was partially offset by a lower increase in accounts receivable as a result of lower net sales.

The seasonal nature of the construction aggregates business impacts quarterly operating cash flow when compared with the year. Full year 2008 net cash provided by operating activities was $341.7 million, compared with $126.5 million for the first six months of 2008.
Capital expenditures, exclusive of acquisitions, for the first six months were $74.8 million in 2009 and $159.4 million in 2008. Capital expenditures during the first six months of 2008 included work on several major plant expansion and efficiency projects. Comparable full-year capital expenditures were $258.2 million in 2008. Full-year capital spending for 2009 has been curtailed and is now expected to approximate $165 million, excluding the Hunt Martin Materials joint venture and acquisitions. However, 2009 capital spending could be reduced further, if necessary, to a maintenance level, defined as aggregates depreciation, depletion and amortization.
During the first six months of 2009 and 2008, the Corporation paid $49.5 million and $218.4 million, respectively, for acquisitions. On June 12, 2009, the Corporation acquired three quarry locations plus the remaining 49% interest in an existing joint venture from CEMEX, Inc. for a total of $65 million in cash. Of this total, $48 million was allocated to the purchase price for the three quarry locations. During the first six months of 2008, the Corporation acquired certain assets of the Specialty Magnesia Division of Morton International, Inc. relating to the ElastoMag® product, a granite quarry near Asheboro, North Carolina and six quarry locations in Georgia and Tennessee.
In addition to the three quarries acquired in 2009, the Corporation also purchased from CEMEX, Inc. the remaining 49% interest in its existing joint venture at the Granite Canyon, Wyoming, quarry for $17.1 million.

On March 5, 2009, the Corporation entered into a distribution agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (“J.P. Morgan”). Under the distribution agreement, the Corporation could offer and sell up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300 million from time to time through J.P. Morgan, as distribution agent. From March 5, 2009 through March 31, 2009, the Corporation sold 3,051,365 shares of its common stock at an average price of $77.90 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Corporation of $237.7 million. The aggregate net proceeds from such sales were $232.8 million after deducting related expenses, including $4.8 million in gross sales commissions paid to J.P. Morgan. The Corporation did not sell any shares of its common stock pursuant to the distribution agreement during the three months ended June 30, 2009.
The Corporation can purchase its common stock through open-market purchases pursuant to authority granted by its Board of Directors. The Corporation did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Management currently has no intent to repurchase any shares of its common stock. At June 30, 2009, 5,042,000 shares of common stock were remaining under the Corporation’s repurchase authorization.
On April 23, 2009, the Corporation entered into a $130 million unsecured term loan with a syndicate of banks (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan bears interest, at the Corporation’s option, at rates based upon LIBOR or a base rate, plus, for each rate, basis points related to a pricing grid. The base rate is defined as the highest of (i) the bank’s prime lending rate, (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1%. At June 30, 2009, the interest rate on the Term Loan was based on one-month LIBOR plus 300 basis points, or 3.31%. The outstanding balance on the Term Loan was $128.4 million at June 30, 2009. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $1.6 million through March 31, 2011 and $3.3 million thereafter, with the remaining outstanding principal due in full on June 6, 2012.
On April 21, 2009, the Corporation entered into a $100 million three-year secured accounts receivable credit facility (the “AR Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”). The AR Credit Facility provides for borrowings, on a revolving basis, of up to 90% of the Corporation’s eligible accounts receivable less than 90 days old and bears interest at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 2.75%. Under the AR Credit Facility, purchases and settlements will be made bi-weekly between the Corporation and Wells Fargo. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions in the AR Credit Facility, Wells Fargo may determine which receivables are eligible receivables, may determine the amount it will advance on such receivables, and may require the Corporation to repay advances made on receivables and thereby repay amounts outstanding under the AR Credit Facility. Wells Fargo also has the right to require the Corporation to repurchase receivables that remain outstanding 90 days past their invoice date. The Corporation continues to be responsible for the servicing and administration of the receivables purchased. The Corporation will carry the receivables and any outstanding borrowings on its consolidated balance sheet. During the second quarter of 2009, the Corporation borrowed $100 million under the AR Credit Facility, which was subsequently repaid in full. At June 30, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Corporation’s AR Credit Facility.

On April 14, 2009, the Corporation repaid $180 million of borrowings outstanding under its $325 million five-year revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”).
The Corporation’s Credit Agreement, Term Loan and AR Credit Facility are subject to a leverage ratio covenant. The covenant requires the Corporation’s ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), as defined, for the trailing twelve months (the “Ratio”) to not exceed 3.25 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Corporation may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with acquisitions for a period of 180 days so long as the Corporation maintains specified ratings on its long-term unsecured debt and the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 3.50 to 1.00. The Ratio is calculated as total long-term debt divided by consolidated EBITDA, as defined, for the trailing twelve months. Consolidated EBITDA is generally defined as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for continuing operations. Additionally, stock-based compensation expense is added back and interest income is deducted in the calculation of consolidated EBITDA. Certain other nonrecurring items and noncash items, if they occur, can affect the calculation of consolidated EBITDA. At June 30, 2009, the Corporation’s ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, as defined, for the trailing twelve month EBITDA was 2.82 and was calculated as follows (dollars in thousands):

Cash on hand, along with the Corporation’s projected internal cash flows and availability of financing resources, including its access to debt and equity capital markets, are expected to continue to be sufficient to provide the capital resources necessary to support anticipated operating needs, cover debt service requirements, meet capital expenditures and discretionary investment needs, fund certain acquisition opportunities that may arise, and allow for payment of dividends for the foreseeable future. At June 30, 2009, the Corporation had $323 million of unused borrowing capacity under its Credit Agreement, subject to complying with the related leverage covenant. Consistent with the Corporation’s objective of obtaining sufficient committed financing at least twelve months in advance of pending maturities, the AR Credit Facility and Term Loan provide sufficient liquidity to refinance the maturity of the Corporation’s $225 million of Senior Notes due in April 2010. The proceeds from the new credit facilities and the equity issuances were used to pay down outstanding amounts under the Corporation’s Credit Agreement and will provide financing flexibility for, among other things, potential strategic activity.
The Corporation’s ability to borrow or issue securities is dependent upon, among other things, prevailing economic, financial and market conditions. Based on discussions with the Corporation’s bank group, the Corporation expects to have continued access to the public credit market, although at a higher cost of debt when compared with its 5.36% weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2009.
The Corporation may be required to obtain financing in order to fund certain strategic acquisitions, if any such opportunities arise, or to refinance outstanding debt. Any strategic acquisition of size would require an appropriate balance of newly issued equity with debt in order to maintain an investment grade credit rating. Borrowings under the AR Credit Facility would be limited based on the balance of the Corporation’s accounts receivable. Furthermore, the Corporation is exposed to risk from tightening credit markets, through the interest cost related to its $225 million Floating Rate Senior Notes due in 2010, AR Credit Facility and Term Loan and the interest cost related to its commercial paper program, to the extent that it is available to the Corporation. Currently, the Corporation’s senior unsecured debt is rated BBB+ by Standard & Poor’s and Baa3 by Moody’s. The Corporation’s commercial paper obligations are rated A-2 by Standard & Poor’s and P-3 by Moody’s. While management believes its credit ratings will remain at an investment-grade level, no assurance can be given that these ratings will remain at those levels.

 $128,375  $6,500  $121,875

ACCOUNTING CHANGES As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, effective January 1, 2009, the Corporation adopted FAS 141(R), FAS 160 and FSP EITF 03-6-1.
TRENDS AND RISKS The Corporation outlined the risks associated with its business in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2009. Management continues to evaluate its exposure to all operating risks on an ongoing basis.
The Corporation has seen increased infrastructure bidding activity directly attributable to the federal economic stimulus, or the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and a rise in actual projects awarded in a significant number of states. Unfortunately, it is taking longer than management expected for jobs to progress into the actual construction phase and, as a result, shipments to stimulus jobs in the second quarter were below management’s expectations. Management now believes that about 25% of stimulus projects will commence in the second half of the year, with most of the remainder doing so in 2010. The Corporation has been awarded jobs from other stimulus components, including Army Corps of Engineers projects along its river-distribution network. Consistent with the timing for infrastructure projects, these jobs will also be weighted toward the back half of 2009 and into 2010.

Another example of the increased infrastructure activity is the sale, on July 15, 2009, by the North Carolina Turnpike Authority (“NCTA”) of $624 million in bonds to finance North Carolina’s first modern toll road, the Triangle Expressway. In addition, the NCTA obtained a $387 million loan from the federal Department of Transportation to complete the project’s financing. The Corporation will supply aggregates on a significant section of this project and expects shipments to commence in 2009; the highway should open for traffic in 2011. Management first reported this project’s passage in the second quarter of 2008 as the first significant step in the NCTA’s initial mission to study, plan, develop, construct and maintain up to nine projects. At that particular time, the North Carolina legislature had passed a budget that provided funding for the construction of four toll road projects for a total of $3.2 billion. Subsequently, credit market disruptions prevented the NCTA from issuing bonds and the related jobs were delayed. Such delays generally are not uncommon in the current economic environment as Departments of Transportation, turnpike authorities, and other state and local governing bodies use alternative financing vehicles to underwrite much needed road construction.
OUTLOOK As previously stated, management believes that the remainder of 2009 will continue to be challenging as the Corporation deals with an uncertain United States economy. Management is carefully monitoring the fiscal condition and activities of the states in which the Corporation does business and how quickly they can move jobs funded by the stimulus program into the actual construction phase. In addition, management is watching closely as many states explore alternative means of funding their infrastructure over the longer term. Infrastructure demand will continue to be pressured as states grapple with long-term resolutions for their budget deficits. Commercial demand is weak, primarily in office and retail construction and while management believes residential construction has neared its bottom in many of our markets, it does not expect growth in the homebuilding sector to materialize significantly in 2009. In contrast, management expects steady growth for chemical-grade aggregates used for flue gas desulfurization and in agriculture lime, as well as ballast used in the railroad industry. In the Specialty Products segment, demand for magnesia-based chemicals products should track the general economy. With steel production forecasted to decline in line with general industrial demand, management does not expect volume growth in 2009 of dolomitic lime, which is used as a fluxing agent in steel production. Management continues to expect favorable energy prices experienced during the first six months of 2009 to contribute a range of $35 million to $50 million to operating profitability in 2009.
Based upon management’s current economic view, the Corporation’s 2009 guidance of net earnings per diluted share, including the effect of the economic stimulus plan, is in the range of $2.70 to $3.30. This outlook incorporates the following assumptions: aggregates volumes to range from down 15% to 18% compared with 2008; the rate of price increase for the aggregates product line to range from 3.5% to 5% compared with 2008; and Specialty Products segment to contribute $28 million to $30 million in pretax earnings.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2009
(Continued)
Although it is too early to provide guidance for 2010, management has begun to frame its initial view on the upcoming year. As noted above, the Corporation has seen some of the projects that it had earlier anticipated to commence in 2009 now beginning next year. Specifically, management believes there will be a significant increase in infrastructure-related projects as the effects of federal economic stimulus work their way into the economy. Management continues to believe it will see a moderate increase in aggregates volume to portions of homebuilding, and steady growth for chemical grade aggregates used for flue gas desulfurization and in agricultural lime, as well as ballast used in the railroad industry. These markets cumulatively comprised 69% of the Corporation’s 2008 aggregates volumes and management expects them to increase in 2010. Commercial construction represents the balance of the Corporation’s aggregates volume and, while management expects a decline in commercial construction volumes in 2010, it does not have meaningful visibility into these markets at this time. Aggregates pricing growth in 2010 is expected to trend closer to the Corporation’s 20-year average.
The 2009 estimated earnings range includes management’s assessment of the likelihood of certain risk factors that will affect performance within the range. The most significant risk to 2009 earnings, whether within or outside current earnings expectations, will be, as previously noted, the performance of the United States economy and that performance’s effect on construction activity. Management has estimated its earnings range, assuming a stabilization of the United States economy in the second half of 2009. Should the second half 2009 stabilization not occur or the economy worsens, earnings could vary significantly.
Risks to the earnings range are primarily volume-related and include a greater-than-expected drop in demand as a result of the continued delays in federal stimulus and state infrastructure projects, a continued decline in commercial construction, a further decline in residential construction, or some combination thereof. Further, increased highway construction funding pressures as a result of either federal or state issues can affect profitability. Currently, nearly all states are experiencing state-level funding pressures driven by lower tax revenues and an inability to finance approved projects. North Carolina and Texas are among the states experiencing these pressures and these states disproportionately affect revenue and profitability. The level of aggregates demand in the Corporation’s end-use markets, production levels and the management of production costs will affect the operating leverage of the Aggregates business and, therefore, profitability. Production costs in the Aggregates business are also sensitive to energy prices, both directly and indirectly. Diesel and other fuels change production costs directly through consumption or indirectly in the increased cost of energy-related consumables, namely steel, explosives, tires and conveyor belts. Changing diesel costs also affect transportation costs, primarily through fuel surcharges in the Corporation’s long-haul distribution network. The Corporation’s earnings expectations do not include rapidly increasing diesel costs or sustained periods of increased diesel fuel cost during 2009 at the level experienced in 2008 and, in fact, expectations are that reduced diesel costs will contribute $35 million to $50 million in profitability in 2009. The Corporation experienced favorable diesel costs in the first six months of 2009, but there is no guarantee that this level of cost decrease will continue. The availability of transportation in the Corporation’s long-haul network, particularly the availability of barges on the Mississippi River system and the availability of rail cars and

locomotive power to move trains, affects the Corporation’s ability to efficiently transport material into certain markets, most notably Texas, Florida and the Gulf Coast region. The Aggregates business is also subject to weather-related risks that can significantly affect production schedules and profitability. Hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf Coast generally is most active during the third and fourth quarters. Opportunities to reach the upper end of the earnings range depend on demand exceeding expectations for the aggregates product line.
Risks to earnings outside of the range include a change in volume beyond current expectations as a result of economic events outside of the Corporation’s control. In addition to the impact on commercial and residential construction, the Corporation is exposed to risk in its earnings expectations from tightening credit markets and the availability of and interest cost related to its debt. If volumes decline worse than expected, the Corporation is exposed to greater risk in its earnings, including its debt covenant, as the pressure of operating leverage increases disproportionately.

Factors that the Corporation currently believes could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, the performance of the United States economy and assumed stabilization in the second half of 2009; the level and timing of federal and state transportation funding, including federal stimulus projects and most particularly in North Carolina, one of the Corporation’s largest and most profitable states, and Georgia, Texas and South Carolina, which when coupled with North Carolina, represented 52% of 2008 net sales in the Aggregates business; the ability of states and/or other entities to finance approved projects either with tax revenues or alternative financing structures; levels of construction spending in the markets the Corporation serves; the severity of a continued decline in the commercial construction market, notably office and retail space, and the continued decline in residential construction; unfavorable weather conditions, particularly Atlantic Ocean hurricane activity, the early onset of winter and the impact of a drought in the markets served by the Corporation; the volatility of fuel costs, particularly diesel fuel, and the impact on the cost of other consumables, namely steel, explosives, tires and conveyor belts; continued increases in the cost of other repair and supply parts; transportation availability, notably barge availability on the Mississippi River system and the availability of railcars and locomotive power to move trains to supply the Corporation’s Texas, Florida and Gulf Coast markets; increased transportation costs, including increases from higher passed-through energy costs and higher volumes of rail and water shipments; further weakening in the steel industry markets served by the Corporation’s dolomitic lime products; increased interest cost resulting from further tightening of the credit markets; changes in tax laws, the interpretation of such laws and/or administrative practices that would increase the Corporation’s tax rate; violation of the debt covenant if volumes decline worse than expected; downward pressure on the Corporation’s common stock price and its impact on goodwill impairment evaluations; and other risk factors listed from time to time found in the Corporation’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other factors besides those listed here may also adversely affect the Corporation and may be material to the Corporation. The Corporation assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Corporation’s operations are highly dependent upon the interest rate-sensitive construction and steelmaking industries. Consequently, these marketplaces could experience lower levels of economic activity in an environment of rising interest rates or escalating costs.
The current credit environment has negatively affected the economy and management has considered the potential impact to the Corporation’s business. Demand for aggregates products, particularly in the commercial and residential construction markets, could continue to decline if companies and consumers are unable to obtain financing for construction projects or if the economic slowdown causes delays or cancellations to capital projects. Additionally, access to the public debt markets has been limited and, when available, has been at interest rates that are significantly higher than the Corporation’s weighted-average interest rate on outstanding debt. The lack of available credit has also lessened states’ abilities to issue bonds to finance construction projects.
Demand in the residential construction market is affected by interest rates. The Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate by 425 basis points to zero percent in 2008. The residential construction market accounted for approximately 9% of the Corporation’s aggregates product line shipments in 2008.
Aside from these inherent risks from within its operations, the Corporation’s earnings are affected also by changes in short-term interest rates as a result of any temporary cash investments, including money market funds and overnight investments in Eurodollars; any outstanding short-term facility borrowings; Floating Rate Senior Notes; AR Credit Facility and Term Loan; and defined benefit pension plans. Additionally, the Corporation’s earnings are affected by petroleum-based product costs. The Corporation has no counterparty risk.
Short-Term Facility Borrowings. The Corporation’s short-term facility borrowings include a $325 million Credit Agreement which supports its commercial paper program and a $325 million commercial paper program. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at a variable interest rate. However, at June 30, 2009, there were no outstanding Credit Agreement, or commercial paper borrowings.
Floating Rate Senior Notes. The Corporation has $225 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes that bear interest at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 0.15%. As the Floating Rate Senior Notes bear interest at a variable rate, the Corporation has interest rate risk. The effect of a hypothetical 100-basis-point increase in interest rates on borrowings of $225 million would increase interest expense by $2.3 million on an annual basis.

FORM 10-Q
For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2009
AR Credit Facility and Term Loan.The Corporation has a $100 million AR Credit Facility that bears interest at a variable rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 2.75%. However, at June 30, 2009, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Corporation’s AR Credit Facility. The Corporation also has a $130 million Term Loan that bears interest at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 3.0%. As the Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate, the Corporation has interest rate risk. The effect of a hypothetical 100-basis-point increase in interest rates on outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2009 of $128.4 million would increase interest expense by $1.3 million on an annual basis.
Pension Expense. The Corporation’s results of operations are affected by its pension expense. Assumptions that affect this expense include the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on assets. Therefore, the Corporation has interest rate risk associated with these factors. The impact of hypothetical changes in these assumptions on the Corporation’s annual pension expense is discussed in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2009.
Petroleum-Based Product Costs. Petroleum-based product costs, including diesel fuel, natural gas and liquid asphalt, represent significant production costs for the Corporation. Increases in these costs generally are tied to energy sector inflation. In 2008, increases in the prices of these products lowered earnings per diluted share by $0.65. A hypothetical 10% change in the Corporation’s petroleum-based product prices in 2009 as compared with 2008, assuming constant volumes, would impact 2009 pretax earnings by approximately $20.7 million.
Aggregate Risk for Interest Rates and Petroleum-Based Product Costs. Interest rate risk in 2009 is limited to the potential effect related to the Corporation’s Floating Rate Senior Notes and Term Loan. The effect of a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 1% on the $225 million Floating Rate Senior Notes and $128.4 million of borrowings under the Term Loan would be an increase of $3.6 million in interest expense on an annual basis. Additionally, a 10% change in petroleum-based product prices would impact annual pretax earnings by $20.7 million.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2009, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Corporation’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009. There were no changes in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
