PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) General Development of Business
Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (unless the context indicates otherwise,
collectively, the "Registrant", the "Company" or "TXI"), is a leading supplier
of construction materials through two business segments: structural steel and
specialty bar products (the "Steel" segment); and cement, aggregate and concrete
products (the "CAC" segment). Through its Steel segment, TXI produces and sells
structural steel, specialty bar products, merchant bar-quality rounds,
reinforcing bar and channels. Through the CAC segment, TXI produces and sells
cement, stone, sand and gravel, expanded shale and clay aggregate and concrete
products. The Company is the largest producer of cement in Texas, a major cement
producer in California and the second largest supplier of structural steel
products in North America. Demand for structural steel, cement, aggregate and
concrete products is primarily driven by construction activity, while specialty
bar products supply the original equipment manufacturers, tool and oil country
goods markets.
Incorporated April 19, 1951, the Registrant began its cement operations in 1960
with the opening of its Midlothian, Texas facility and added its steel
operations in 1975 with the construction of a plant in Midlothian. TXI has
derived significant benefits as a producer of both cement and steel, primarily
in lowering production costs and enhancing productivity through the innovative
recycling of by-products of manufacturing.
On December 31, 1997, the Company acquired Riverside Cement Company, the owner
of a 1.3 million ton per year portland cement plant and a 100,000 ton per year
specialty white cement plant. The acquisition increased TXI's cement capacity
by 60% and opened the California regional cement market to the Company. TXI is
constructing a structural steel facility in Virginia, scheduled to begin
operations in the summer of 1999, which will expand TXI's steel capacity by
approximately two-thirds. On December 31, 1997, the Company acquired the
minority interest in its 85% owned subsidiary, Chaparral Steel Company. In March
1998, TXI filed for a permit to expand its Midlothian, Texas cement plant's
production from 1.3 to 2.8 million tons per year.
(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments
Financial information for the Registrant's two industry segments, is presented
in Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" on pages 10 and 11, incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Narrative Description of Business
STEEL
The Company's steel facility in Midlothian, Texas follows a market mill concept
which entails the low cost production of a wide variety of products ranging from
reinforcing bar and specialty bar products to large-sized structural beams. The
facility has two electric arc furnaces with continuous casters which feed melted
steel to a bar mill, a structural mill and a large beam mill which together
produce a broader array of steel products than a traditional mini-mill.
Finished (rolled) products produced include beams up to twenty-four inches wide,
merchant bar-quality rounds, special bar quality rounds, reinforcing bar and
channels.
The rated annual capacity of the Texas operating facilities are as follows:
Annual Rated Productive Approximate
Capacity (Tons) Facility Square Footage
----------------------- -----------------------
Melting 1,800,000 265,000
Rolling 1,900,000 560,000
The bar and structural mills produced approximately 1.6 million tons of finished
products during each of the last three years.
-1-
Recycled steel is the primary raw material, with shredded steel representing 45
percent of the raw material mix. A major portion of the shredded steel
requirements is produced by a shredder operation at the steel mill. The shredded
material is primarily composed of crushed auto bodies purchased on the open
market. Another grade of recycled steel, #1 Heavy, representing 27 percent of
the raw material requirements is also purchased on the open market. The
purchase price of recycled steel is subject to market forces largely beyond the
Company's control. The supply of recycled steel is expected to be adequate to
meet future requirements.
The steel mill consumes large amounts of electricity and natural gas.
Electricity is currently obtained from a local electric utility under an
interruptible supply contract with price adjustments which reflect increases or
decreases in the utility's fuel costs. Natural gas is obtained from a local gas
utility under a supply contract. The Company believes that adequate supplies of
both electricity and natural gas are readily available.
The Company's steel products are marketed throughout the United States and to a
limited extent in Canada and Mexico, and under certain market conditions,
Western Europe and Asia. Sales are primarily to steel service centers and steel
fabricators for use in the construction industry, as well as, to cold finishers,
forgers and original equipment manufacturers for use in the railroad, defense,
automotive, mobile home and energy industries. The Company does not place heavy
reliance on franchises, licenses or concessions. At present, TXI has
approximately 700 customers, none of which accounted for more than ten percent
of the Steel segment's sales in 1998. Sales to affiliates are minimal. Orders
are generally filled within 45 days and are cancelable. Delivery of finished
products is accomplished by common-carrier, customer-owned trucks, rail or
barge.
The Company competes with steel producers, including foreign producers, on the
basis of price, quality and service. Certain of the foreign and domestic
competitors, including both large integrated steel producers and mini-mills,
have substantially greater assets and larger sales organizations than TXI.
Intense sales competition exists for substantially all of the Steel segment's
products.
CEMENT, AGGREGATE AND CONCRETE
The CAC business segment includes the manufacture and sale of cement,
aggregates, ready-mix concrete, concrete pipe, block and brick. Production and
distribution facilities are concentrated primarily in Texas, Louisiana and
California, with markets extending into contiguous states. During 1998, the
Company acquired cement facilities in California, expanded shale and clay
aggregate facilities in Colorado and additional ready-mix plants in Texas and
Louisiana. In addition, TXI has certain patented and unpatented mining claims
in southern California which contain deposits of limestone. The Company does
not place heavy reliance on patents, franchises, licenses or concessions related
to its CAC operations.
CEMENT
TXI's principal product is portland cement. The Company also produces specialty
cements such as white, masonry, adobe and oil well.
Cement production facilities are located at four sites in Texas and California:
Midlothian, Texas, south of Dallas/Fort Worth, the largest cement plant in
Texas; Hunter, Texas, south of Austin; and Oro Grande and Crestmore, California,
both near Los Angeles. Except for the Crestmore facility, the limestone
reserves used as the primary raw material are located on fee-owned property
adjacent to each of the plants. Raw material for the Crestmore facility is
purchased from outside suppliers. Information regarding each of the Company's
facilities is as follows:
Annual Rated Productive Manufacturing Service Estimated Minimum
Plant Capacity - (Tons of Clinker) Process Date Reserves - Years
----- ---------------------------- ------- ---- ---------------
Midlothian, TX 1,300,000 Wet 1960 100
Hunter, TX 800,000 Dry 1979 100
Oro Grande, CA 1,300,000 Dry 1948 90
Crestmore, CA 100,000 Dry 1962 N/A
-2-
The Company uses its patented CemStar process in both of its Texas facilities,
which has increased combined annual production by approximately 10%. The
Company intends to add this process to its Oro Grande facility in the near
future. The CemStar process adds "slag," a co-product of steel-making, into a
cement kiln along with the regular raw material feed. The slag serves to
increase the production of clinker which is then ground to make cement. The
primary fuel source for all of the Company's facilities is coal; however, the
Company displaces approximately 35% of its coal needs at its Midlothian plant
and approximately 10% of its coal needs at its Hunter plant by utilizing
alternative fuels.
The Company produced approximately 2.7 million tons of finished cement in 1998,
2.1 million tons in 1997 and 2.2 million tons in 1996. Total annual shipments
of finished cement were approximately 2.9 million tons in 1998, 2.1 million tons
in 1997 and 2.4 million tons in 1996 of which 2.0 million tons in 1998, 1.3
million tons in 1997 and 1.5 million tons in 1996 were shipped to outside trade
customers.
The Company markets its products throughout the southwestern United States. Its
principal marketing area includes the states of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma,
California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. Sales offices are maintained throughout
the marketing area and sales are made primarily to numerous customers in the
construction industry, none of which accounted for more than ten percent of the
trade sales volume in 1998.
The Company distributes cement from its plants by rail or truck to eight
distribution terminals located throughout its marketing area.
The cement industry is highly competitive with suppliers differentiating
themselves based on price, service and quality.
AGGREGATE, CONCRETE AND OTHER PRODUCTS
TXI's aggregate business, which includes sand, gravel, crushed limestone and
expanded shale and clay, is conducted from facilities primarily serving the
Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin and Houston areas in Texas, the Alexandria, New
Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Monroe areas in Louisiana, Oakland/San Francisco and
Los Angeles areas in California and the Denver area in Colorado. The following
table summarizes certain information about the Registrant's aggregate production
facilities:
Estimated Annual Estimated
Number of Productive Minimum
Type of Facility and General Location Plants Capacity Reserves - Years
- ------------------------------------- --------- ---------------- ----------------
Crushed Limestone
North Central Texas 1 6.5 million tons 28
Sand & Gravel
North Central Texas 3 3.0 million tons 11
Central Texas 2 2.4 million tons 14
Louisiana 10 7.4 million tons 24
South Central Oklahoma 1 1.2 million tons 6
Colorado 1 .5 million tons 25
Expanded Shale & Clay
North Central & South Texas 2 1.2 million cu. yds. 25
California 2 .6 million cu. yds. 25
Colorado 1 .5 million cu. yds. 25
Reserves identified with the facilities shown above and additional reserves
available to support future plant sites are contained on approximately 38,000
acres of land, of which approximately 21,000 acres are owned in fee and the
remainder leased. The expanded shale and clay plants operated at 83 percent of
capacity for 1998 with sales of approximately 1.7 million cubic yards.
Production for the remaining aggregate facilities was 73 percent of practical
capacity and sales for the year totaled 15.5 million tons, of which
approximately 11.0 million tons were shipped to outside trade customers. In
addition, the Registrant owns and operates three industrial sand plants and an
aggregate blending facility.
-3-
The cost of transportation limits the marketing of these various aggregates to
the areas relatively close to the plant sites. Consequently, sales of these
products are related to the level of construction activity near these plants.
These products are marketed by the Company's sales organization located in the
areas served by the plants and are sold to numerous customers, no one of which
would be considered significant to the Company's business. The distribution of
these products is provided to trade customers principally by contract or
customer-owned haulers, and a limited amount of these products is distributed by
rail for affiliated usage.
The Company's ready-mix concrete operations are situated in three areas in Texas
(Dallas/Fort Worth/Denton, Houston/Beaumont and East Texas), in north and
central Louisiana, and at one location in southern Arkansas. The following
table summarizes various information concerning these facilities:
Location Number of Plants Number of Trucks
-------- ---------------- ----------------
Texas 36 438
Louisiana 19 149
Arkansas 1 3
The plants listed above are located on sites owned or leased by the Company.
TXI manufactures and supplies a substantial amount of the cement and aggregates
used by the ready-mix plants with the remainder being purchased from outside
suppliers. Ready-mix concrete is sold to various contractors in the
construction industry, no one of which would be considered significant to the
Company's business.
The remainder of the major products manufactured and marketed by the Company
within the concrete products segment are summarized by location below:
Location Products Produced/Sold
-------- ----------------------
Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas Sakrete and related products
Austin, Texas Sakrete and related products
Houston, Texas Sakrete and related products
Baton Rouge, Louisiana Concrete pipe
Northeast and Central Louisiana Concrete block and pipe
Northwest Louisiana Concrete block and pipe
Sakrete and related products
Bridge Spans
Clay Brick
Athens, Texas Clay Brick
Mineral Wells, Texas Clay Brick
The plant sites for the above products (except for two that are leased) are
owned by the Company. The products are marketed by the Company's sales force in
each of these locations, and are primarily delivered by trucks owned by the
Company. Because the cost of delivery is significant to the overall cost of
most of these products, the market area is generally restricted to within
approximately one hundred miles of the plant locations. These products are sold
to various contractors, owners and distributors, none of which would be
considered significant to the Company's business.
In most of TXI's principal markets for concrete products, the Company competes
vigorously with at least three other vertically integrated concrete companies.
The Company believes that it is a significant participant in each of the Texas
and Louisiana concrete products markets. The principal methods of competition
in concrete products markets are quality and service at competitive prices.
-4-
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The operations of the Company are subject to various federal and state
environmental laws and regulations. Under these laws the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") and agencies of state government have the authority to
promulgate regulations which could result in substantial expenditures for
pollution control and solid waste treatment. Three major areas regulated by
these authorities are air quality, water quality and hazardous waste management.
Pursuant to these laws and regulations, emission sources at the Company's
facilities are regulated by a combination of permit limitations and emission
standards of statewide application, and the Company believes that it is in
substantial compliance with its permit limitations and applicable laws and
regulations.
The Company's steel mill generates, in the same manner as other steel mills in
the industry, electric arc furnace ("EAF") dust that contains lead, chromium and
cadmium. The EPA has listed this EAF dust, which TXI collects in baghouses, as
a hazardous waste. The Company has contracts with reclamation facilities in the
United States and Mexico pursuant to which such facilities receive the EAF dust
generated by the steel mill and recover the metals from the dust for reuse, thus
rendering the dust non-hazardous. In addition, the Company is continually
investigating alternative reclamation technologies and has implemented processes
for diminishing the amount of EAF dust generated.
The Company intends to comply with all legal requirements regarding the
environment but since many of these requirements are not fixed, presently
determinable, or are likely to be affected by future legislation or rule making
by government agencies, it is not possible to accurately predict the aggregate
future costs or benefits of compliance and their effect on the Company's
operations, future net income or financial condition. Notwithstanding such
compliance, if damage to persons or property or contamination of the environment
has been or is caused by the conduct of the Company's business or by hazardous
substances or wastes used in, generated or disposed of by the Company, the
Company may be held liable for such damages and be required to pay the cost of
investigation and remediation of such contamination. The amount of such
liability could be material. Changes in federal or state laws, regulations or
requirements or discovery of unknown conditions could require additional
expenditures by or provide additional benefits to the Company.
OTHER ITEMS
TXI provides products for the construction industry. It is not uncommon for the
Company to report a loss from its cement, aggregate and concrete operations in
the quarter ending February due to adverse weather conditions. Steel results in
the quarters ending August and February are affected by the normal, scheduled
two-week summer and one-week winter shut-downs to refurbish the production
facilities. The dollar amount of the Company's backlog of orders is not
considered material to an understanding of its business.
TXI has approximately 4,100 employees, 1,300 employed in Steel operations and
the balance in cement, aggregate and concrete.
The Company is involved in the development of its surplus real estate and real
estate acquired for development of high quality industrial, office and multi-use
parks in the metropolitan areas of Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston, Texas and
Richmond, Virginia.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The information required by this item is included in the answer to Item 1.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no pending legal proceedings against the Registrant and subsidiaries
which in management's judgment (based upon the opinion of counsel) would have a
material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the
Registrant.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company is a leading supplier of construction materials through two business
segments: structural steel and specialty bar products (the "Steel" segment);
and cement, aggregate and concrete products (the "CAC" segment). Through its
Steel segment, the Company produces and sells structural steel, specialty bar
products, merchant bar-quality rounds, reinforcing bar and channels. Through
the CAC segment, the Company produces and sells cement, stone, sand and gravel,
expanded shale and clay aggregate and concrete products.
The Company's Texas steel facility follows a market mill concept which entails
producing a wide variety of products utilizing recycled steel obtained from
crushed automobiles and other sources as its principal raw material. TXI
strives to be a low-cost supplier and is able to modify its product mix to
recognize changing market conditions or customer requirements. Steel products
are sold principally to steel service centers, fabricators, cold finishers,
forgers and original equipment manufacturers. The Company distributes primarily
to markets in North America and, under certain market conditions, Europe and
Asia. On December 31, 1997, the Company acquired the minority interest in its
85% owned subsidiary, Chaparral Steel Company. TXI is constructing a structural
steel facility in Virginia, scheduled to begin operations in the summer of 1999,
which will expand TXI's steel capacity by approximately two-thirds.
The Company's CAC facilities are concentrated primarily in Texas, Louisiana and
California with several products marketed throughout the United States. The
Company owns long-term reserves of limestone, the primary raw material for the
production of cement. On December 31, 1997, the Company acquired Riverside
Cement Company, the owner of a 1.3 million ton per year portland cement plant
and a 100,000 ton per year specialty white cement plant. The acquisition opened
the California regional cement market to the Company, increasing TXI's cement
capacity by 60%. In March 1998, the Company filed for a permit to expand the
production of its Midlothian, Texas cement plant from 1.3 to 2.8 million tons
per year.
Both the Steel and CAC businesses require large amounts of capital investment,
energy, labor and maintenance.
Corporate resources include administration, financial, legal, environmental,
personnel and real estate activities which are not allocated to operations and
are excluded from operating profit.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales
Consolidated 1998 net sales increased $222.5 million over 1997 to $1,196.3
million.
Steel sales were $705.7 million, an increase of $89.0 million over the prior
year. Structural steel shipments increased 18% and average selling prices
increased 3% in 1998 due to the continued strength in construction activity.
Prices for bar mill products increased 5% over the prior year as a result of an
improved product mix and higher reinforcing bar and specialty bar product
prices. These improvements were offset by a 10% decrease in shipments.
CAC sales, at $490.6 million, were $133.4 million above the prior year. Cement
sales from the Company's Texas operations were up $26.2 million as a result of a
12% increase in shipments. Riverside Cement Company, which was acquired on
December 31, 1997, contributed $40.0 million in sales. The Company's entry into
the California regional market through the acquisition of Riverside contributed
to an overall increase in total cement shipments of 41%. The purchase of
additional ready-mix plants and the return to more favorable weather conditions
resulted in increased ready-mix and stone, sand and gravel sales. Net ready-mix
sales reflect a 32% increase in volume and somewhat higher prices. Stone, sand
and gravel shipments increased 10% during 1998 with prices comparable to the
prior year. Other product sales include expanded shale and clay aggregate sales
of $39.5 million up 48% from 1997 due to increased volumes at the Company's
Texas and California facilities and the purchase of facilities in Colorado.
-9-
Consolidated 1997 net sales increased $6.4 million over 1996 to $973.8 million.
Steel sales were $616.7 million, up $9 million from 1996. Shipments increased
30,000 tons with average selling prices slightly lower. The demand for
structural products from domestic sources remained strong as prices for
structural mill products were comparable to 1996. Bar product shipments were
16% higher than the prior year with somewhat lower average selling prices.
Special Bar Quality shipments increased 6%. Export sales were level at 4% of
total shipments because of the continued strong domestic market.
CAC sales, at $357.1 million, were below 1996 sales as a result of lower
volumes. Unusually wet weather impacted construction activity in Texas and
Louisiana during much of the year. Cement average trade pricing was up 10% over
1996 with shipments down 12%. Ready-mix net sales reflected 6% higher pricing on
9% lower volume. Overall aggregate prices increased slightly from 1996 with
volumes somewhat lower. Sales of other products reflect the 1996 acquisition of
expanded shale and clay aggregate facilities in California.

Operating Costs
Consolidated cost of products sold including depreciation, depletion and
amortization was $938.4 million, a $171.4 million increase over 1997. Steel
costs were $587.8 million, an increase of $70.4 million compared to 1997
resulting from increased shipments and higher melt shop unit costs. CAC costs
were $350.6 million, an increase of $101.0 million, as a result of increased
shipments, higher manufacturing costs at the Midlothian cement plant and the
addition of the operating costs of the Riverside cement plants.
The 1997 consolidated cost of products sold was $767.0 million, a $10.3 million
increase over 1996. Steel costs of $517.4 million increased $7.4 million due
primarily to the 30,000 ton increase in shipments as per ton costs were slightly
lower than 1996. While scrap costs were comparable to the prior year, combined
rolling costs decreased. CAC costs of $249.6 million were up $2.9 million in
1997 as higher unit manufacturing cost of cement and ready-mix distribution
costs offset the effect of lower cement volumes.
-11-
Steel selling, general and administrative expenses including depreciation and
amortization at $36.3 million increased $7.1 million in 1998 due primarily to
higher incentive compensation. CAC expenses at $34.7 million increased $7.6
million in 1998 due primarily to expanded operations and higher incentive
compensation and insurance accruals.
Operating Profit
Operating profit was $195.3 million in 1998, an increase of 26% from the prior
year. Steel profits were $16.0 million higher than 1997, due primarily to
increased structural steel shipments and higher average selling prices for
specialty bar products. CAC profits were $24.7 million higher than 1997 levels
as a result of increased shipments.
Operating profit was $154.5 million in 1997, 7% below the prior year. Steel
profits were $4.3 million lower as improved margins from increased volumes were
offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and reduced other
income. CAC profits were $7.1 million below 1996 levels primarily due to
reduced shipments caused by the unusually wet weather experienced during the
year.
Corporate Resources
Selling, general and administrative expenses including depreciation and
amortization, at $24.0 million, increased $3.9 million in 1998 due in part to
increased performance-based compensation and general expenses not allocated to
operations. Other income includes $7.0 million from property sales generated by
the Company's real estate operation, compared to $6.3 million in 1997.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $20.5 million in 1998, net of $4.6 million of capitalized
interest. The total interest incurred was $6.0 million higher than 1997 due to
increased borrowing during the second half of the year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net income, at $102.1 million, increased $26.7 million from the prior year as
the continued strong construction activity, favorable weather conditions and
expanded operations contributed to increased shipments. Cash provided by
operations and increased long-term debt funded $440.8 million in capital
expenditures. Shareholders' equity increased $100.5 million. The long-term
debt to total capitalization ratio increased to 42%.
Net cash provided by operating activities during 1998 was $215.0 million, an
increase of $105.1 million over 1997 due to higher net income, increased
depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and changes in working capital
items. Notes and accounts receivable increased $7.7 million due to increased CAC
shipments during May 1998. In 1997, receivables increased $12.6 million as
record steel shipments in May 1997 offset reduced CAC receivables. CAC and
steel inventories declined a total of $13.7 million in 1998 on increased
shipments. In 1997, inventories grew $22.6 million on record steel production
and reduced CAC shipments. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased
$31.9 million in 1998 due in part to increased trade payables from expanded
operations and higher incentive, interest and tax accruals.
Net cash used by investing activities during 1998 was $439.7 million compared to
$83.6 million during 1997, consisting principally of capital expenditure items.
Historically, capital expenditures have consisted of normal replacement and
technological upgrades of existing equipment and expansion of the Company's
operations. The fiscal year 1999 capital expenditure budget for these
activities is estimated at $90 million. During 1998 expenditures of $160.6
million were incurred which included the purchase of expanded shale and clay
facilities in Colorado, additional ready-mix plants in Texas and Louisiana and
bar mill upgrades at the Texas steel facility. Additionally, capital
expenditures of $92.7 million were incurred during 1998 for the construction of
the Company's Virginia steel facility. Production at this facility is scheduled
to begin in 1999, with total costs for the site, utilities, equipment and
installation estimated to be $450 million. Effective December 31, 1997, the
Company purchased Riverside for $115.4 million. On December 31, 1997, the
Company acquired the minority interest in Chaparral Steel Company for an
estimated $75.0 million, including transaction expenses net of related tax
benefits, of which $72.2 million had been paid through May 31, 1998.
-12-
Net cash provided by financing activities during 1998 was $221.6 million
compared to $34.5 million used during 1997. Borrowings, net of debt retirements,
increased $213.8 million. In December 1997, the Company concluded the private
placement of $200 million in fixed-rate senior notes having an average maturity
of 12 years and average interest rate of 7.28%. In addition, the Company
increased the maximum borrowing limit on its revolving credit facility from $100
million to $350 million and extended its term until December 2002. This
financing, borrowing under the credit facility and cash provided by operations
funded the Company's 1998 capital expenditures. At May 31, 1998, $82.8 million
was outstanding under the credit facility and an additional $13.9 million had
been utilized to support letters of credit. On June 5, 1998, TXI Capital Trust
I, a Delaware business trust wholly-owned by the Company, issued 4,000,000 of
its 5.5% Shared Preference Redeemable Securities ("Preferred Securities") to the
public for a gross proceeds of $200 million. A portion of these proceeds was
used to repay the outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving credit
facility. During 1997, cash provided by operations funded the Company's
purchase of $41.6 million of its Common Stock and Chaparral's purchase of $3.8
million of its common stock. Effective February 1997, the Company declared a
two-for-one stock split and increased the quarterly cash dividend rate to $.075
per share.
The Company generally finances its major capital expansion projects with long-
term borrowing. Maintenance capital expenditures and working capital are funded
by cash flow from operations. As a result of the acquisition of Riverside, the
acquisition of the minority interest in Chaparral and the construction of the
Virginia steel facility, the Company has spent or committed to spend
approximately $650 million. The Company expects cash from operations, the net
proceeds from the June 5, 1998 sale of the Preferred Securities and borrowings
under its revolving credit facility to be sufficient to provide funds for
capital expenditure commitments, scheduled debt repayments and working capital
needs during the next two years.
OTHER ITEMS
The Company is aware of issues that users of many computer systems will face as
the year 2000 approaches and is in the process of determining Year 2000
compliance in its operating, financial and management information systems. The
Company does not anticipate any material disruption in its operations or
incurrence of material costs as a result of any failure by the Company to be in
compliance.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Texas Industries, Inc. ("TXI" or the "Company"), is a leading supplier of
construction materials through two business segments: structural steel and
specialty bar products (the "Steel" segment); and cement, aggregate and concrete
products (the "CAC" segment). Through its Steel segment, the Company produces
and sells structural steel, specialty bar products, merchant bar-quality rounds,
reinforcing bar and channels for markets in North America and, under certain
market conditions, Europe and Asia. Through the CAC segment, the Company
produces and sells cement, stone, sand and gravel, expanded shale and clay
aggregate and concrete products from facilities concentrated in Texas,
Louisiana, and California, with several products marketed throughout the United
States.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Estimates. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries. The minority interest represents
the separate public ownership of Chaparral Steel Company ("Chaparral"), which
was acquired by the Company on December 31, 1997. Certain amounts in the prior
period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation.
Cash Equivalents. For cash flow purposes, temporary investments which have
maturities of less than 90 days when purchased are considered cash equivalents.
Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment is recorded at
cost. Provisions for depreciation are computed generally using the straight-
line method. Provisions for depletion of mineral deposits are computed on the
basis of the estimated quantity of recoverable raw materials.
Intangible Assets. Goodwill and other intangibles is presented net of
accumulated amortization of $22.2 million at May 31, 1998 and $17.9 million at
May 31, 1997. Goodwill resulting from the acquisitions of Chaparral Steel
Company and Riverside Cement Company, totaling $145.6 million at May 31, 1998
and $57.2 million at May 31, 1997 (net of accumulated amortization), is being
amortized currently on a straight-line basis over 40-year periods. Other
intangibles consisting primarily of goodwill and non-compete agreements are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of 2 to 15 years.
Management reviews remaining goodwill and other intangibles with consideration
toward recovery through future operating results (undiscounted) at the current
rates of amortization.
Income Taxes. The Company joins in filing a consolidated return with its
subsidiaries. Current and deferred tax expense is allocated among the members
of the group based on a stand-alone calculation of the tax of the individual
member.
Earnings Per Share ("EPS"). The Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No. 128") for its
fiscal quarter ended February 28, 1998. SFAS No. 128 establishes new standards
for computing and presenting Basic and Diluted EPS and requires the restatement
of prior period EPS data.
Basic EPS is computed by adjusting net income for the amortization of additional
goodwill in connection with a contingent payment for the acquisition of
Chaparral, then dividing by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period including certain contingently issuable shares.
Diluted EPS also adjusts the outstanding shares for the dilutive effect of stock
options and awards.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" and No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No. 130 and 131"). These statements
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, although
earlier adoption is permitted. SFAS No. 130 requires the presentation of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. SFAS No. 131 requires the disclosure of financial and
descriptive information about reportable operating segments. Both SFAS No. 130
and 131 are modifications of existing disclosure requirements which will have no
effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.
WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital totaled $227.0 million at May 31, 1998, compared to $243.0
million at the prior year-end.
Notes and accounts receivable of $151.2 million at May 31, 1998, compared with
$122.8 million in 1997, are presented net of allowances for doubtful receivables
of $3.4 million in 1998 and $2.5 million in 1997.
Inventories are summarized as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------
In thousands 1998 1997

-------- --------

Inventories are stated at cost (not in excess of market) generally using the
last-in, first-out method (LIFO). If the average cost method (which
approximates current replacement cost) had been used, inventory values would
have been higher by $15.7 million in 1998 and $11.7 million in 1997.

Annual maturities of long-term debt for each of the five succeeding years are
$13.4, $9.1, $9.0, $8.8 and $91.5 million.
The Company has available a bank-financed $350 million long-term revolving
credit facility. In addition to the $82.8 million currently outstanding under
this facility, $13.9 million has been utilized to support letters of credit.
The Company may select at the time of borrowing an interest rate at either prime
or the applicable margin above LIBOR. Commitment fees at a current annual rate
of .15% are paid on the unused portion of this facility.
On December 31, 1997, Chaparral's senior and first mortgage notes, which
restricted dividends and advances to its shareholders including the parent
company were replaced with senior notes of the Company having the same interest
rate and maturities as the Chaparral notes but with loan covenants the same as
the Company's other senior notes.
Loan agreements contain covenants which provide for minimum working capital,
restrictions on purchases of treasury stock and payment of dividends on common
stock, and limitations on incurring certain indebtedness and making certain
investments. Under the most restrictive of these agreements, the aggregate
amount of annual cash dividends on common stock is limited based on the ratio of
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to fixed charges.
The Company is in compliance with all loan covenant restrictions.
The amount of interest paid was $23.2 million in 1998, $19.3 million in 1997 and
$18.9 million in 1996. Interest capitalized totaled $4.6 million in 1998 and
$190,000 in 1997.
ACQUISITIONS
On December 31, 1997, the Company acquired the minority interest in Chaparral
for cash consideration of $15.50 per share. The total acquisition cost
including transaction expenses net of related tax benefits is estimated at $75.0
million. The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the net
assets acquired, $32.7 million, was recorded as goodwill and is being amortized
over a 40-year period.
-21-
Effective December 31, 1997, the Company acquired Riverside Cement Company for
$115.4 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. Riverside
Cement Company owns and operates cement plants in Crestmore and Oro Grande,
California with distribution terminals in the northern and southern parts of the
state. The estimated purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired
based on their estimated fair values. The fair value of tangible assets
acquired and liabilities assumed was $65.8 million and $9.1 million,
respectively. The balance of the purchase price, $58.7 million, was recorded as
goodwill and is being amortized over a 40-year period.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common stock consists of:
-------------------------------------------------------------
In thousands 1998 1997
-------------------------------------------------------------
Shares authorized 40,000 40,000
Shares outstanding at May 31 21,188 20,896
Diluted average common shares outstanding 21,819 22,163
Shares held in treasury 3,879 4,171
Shares reserved for stock options and other 3,880 2,163
There are authorized 100,000 shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, no par value,
of which 20,000 shares are designated $5 Cumulative Preferred Stock (Voting),
redeemable at $105 per share and entitled to $100 per share upon dissolution.
On March 29, 1996 the Company redeemed and retired all outstanding shares of
such $5 Cumulative Preferred Stock. An additional 25,000 shares are designated
Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is
not redeemable and ranks, with respect to the payment of dividends and the
distribution of assets, junior to (i) all other series of the Preferred Stock
unless the terms of any other series shall provide otherwise and (ii) the $5
Cumulative Preferred Stock. Pursuant to a Rights Agreement, in November 1996,
the Company distributed a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for
each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock. Each right entitles the
holder to purchase from the Company one two-thousandth of a share of the Series
B Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a price of $122.50, subject to
adjustment. The rights will expire on November 1, 2006 unless the date is
extended or the rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company pursuant
to the Rights Agreement.
STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company's stock option plans provide that non-qualified and incentive stock
options to purchase Common Stock may be granted to directors, officers and key
employees at market prices at date of grant. Generally, options become
exercisable in installments beginning one or two years after date of grant and
expire six or ten years later depending on the initial date of grant. The
Company has elected to continue utilizing the accounting prescribed by APB No.
25 for stock issued under these plans. If compensation cost had been recognized
based on the fair value at the date of grant consistent with the method
prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), the Company's net income and
earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:
--------------------------------------------------------
In thousands 1998 1997 1996
--------------------------------------------------------
Net income
As reported $102,130 $75,474 $79,954

Pro forma 4.75 3.42 3.59
Diluted earnings per share
As reported 4.69 3.42 3.53
Pro forma 4.64 3.39 3.53
-22-
Because the method of accounting under SFAS No. 123 has not been applied to
options granted prior to June 1, 1995, the pro forma compensation cost may not
be representative of that to be expected in future years.
The weighted-average fair value of options granted in 1998, 1997 and 1996 were
$16.57, $9.46 and $7.98, respectively. The fair value of each option grant was
estimated on the date of grant for purposes of the pro forma disclosures using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following weighted average
assumptions:
-----------------------------------------------
In thousands 1998 1997 1996

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and
regulations concerning, among other matters, air emissions, furnace dust
disposal and wastewater discharge. The Company believes it is in substantial
compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. Notwithstanding
such compliance, if damage to persons or property or contamination of the
environment has been or is caused by the conduct of the Company's business or by
hazardous substances or wastes used in, generated or disposed of by the Company,
the Company may be held liable for such damages and be required to pay the cost
of investigation and remediation of such contamination. The amount of such
liability could be material. Changes in federal or state laws, regulations or
requirements or discovery of unknown conditions could require additional
expenditures by the Company.
The Company and subsidiaries are defendants in lawsuits which arose in the
normal course of business. In management's judgment (based on the opinion of
counsel) the ultimate liability, if any, from such legal proceedings will not
have a material effect on the consolidated financial position.
RETIREMENT PLANS
Substantially all employees of the Company are covered by a series of defined
contribution retirement plans. The amount of pension expense charged to costs
and expenses for the above plans was $4.3 million in 1998, $3.4 million in 1997
and $2.9 million in 1996. It is the Company's policy to fund the plans to the
extent of charges to income.
INCENTIVE PLANS
All personnel employed as of May 31 share in the pretax income of the Company
for the year then ended based on predetermined formulas. The duration of most
of the plans is one year; certain executives are additionally covered under a
three-year plan. All plans are subject to annual review by the Company's Board
of Directors. The expense included in selling, general and administrative was
$17.7 million, $14.8 million and $15.1 million for 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
Certain executives of Chaparral participate in a deferred compensation plan
based on a five-year average of earnings. Amounts recorded as expense under the
plan were $2.3 million, $1.9 million and $700,000 for 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
OPERATING LEASES
Total expense for operating leases for mobile equipment, office space and other
items (other than for mineral rights) amounted to $22.2 million in 1998, $17.2
million in 1997 and $16.4 million in 1996. Non-cancelable operating leases with
an initial or remaining term of more than one year totaled $69.9 million at May
31, 1998. Annual lease payments for the five succeeding years are $19.6 million,
$13.0 million, $12.3 million, $8.8 million and $11.3 million.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Business segment information is presented on pages 10 and 11. Operating profit
is net sales less operating costs and expenses, excluding general corporate
expenses and interest expense. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets
that are used in the Company's operation in each segment. Corporate assets
consist primarily of cash, real estate subsidiaries and other financial assets
not identified with a major business segment.
-25-
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On June 5, 1998, TXI Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), a Delaware business trust
wholly owned by the Company, issued 4,000,000 of its 5.5% Shared Preference
Redeemable Securities ("Preferred Securities") to the public for gross proceeds
of $200 million. The combined proceeds from the issuance of the Preferred
Securities and the issuance to the Company of the common securities of the Trust
were invested by the Trust in $206.2 million aggregate principal amount of 5.5%
convertible subordinated debentures due June 30, 2028 (the "Debentures") issued
by the Company. The Debentures are the sole assets of the Trust.
Holders of the Preferred Securities are entitled to receive cumulative cash
distributions at an annual rate of $2.75 per Preferred Security (equivalent to a
rate of 5.5% per annum of the stated liquidation amount of $50 per Preferred
Security). The Company has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, distributions
and other payments due on the Preferred Securities, to the extent the Trust has
funds available therefor and subject to certain other limitations (the
"Guarantee"). The Guarantee, when taken together with the obligations of the
Company under the Debentures, the Indenture pursuant to which the Debentures
were issued, and the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement of the Trust
(including its obligations to pay costs, fees, expenses, debts and other
obligations of the Trust [other than with respect to the Preferred Securities
and the common securities of the Trust]), provide a full and unconditional
guarantee of amounts due on the Preferred Securities.
The Debentures are redeemable for cash, at the option of the Company, in whole
or in part, on or after June 30, 2001, or under certain circumstances relating
to federal income tax matters, at par, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon
any redemption of the Debentures, a like aggregate liquidation amount of
Preferred Securities will be redeemed. The Preferred Securities do not have a
stated maturity date, although they are subject to mandatory redemption upon
maturity of the Debentures on June 30, 2028, or upon earlier redemption.
Each Preferred Security is convertible at any time prior to the close of
business on June 30, 2028, at the option of the holder into shares of the
Company's common stock at a conversion rate of .72218 shares of the Company's
common stock for each Preferred Security (equivalent to a conversion price of
$69.235 per share of TXI Common Stock).
