FORM 10-Q
For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2002

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Continued)

     
    No borrowings were outstanding under either of the Corporation’s revolving credit agreements at June 30, 2002. However, these agreements support commercial paper borrowings of $95 million outstanding at June 30, 2002, of which $95 million has been classified as long-term debt in the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheet based on management’s ability and intention to maintain this debt outstanding for at least one year. At August 1, 2002, $65 million was outstanding under the Corporation’s commercial borrowing obligations. See the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” discussion contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 19 through 21 of this Form 10-Q.
 
    In May 2002, the Corporation entered into interest rate swap agreements (the “Swaps”) for interest related to $100 million of the $200 million Notes due in 2008. The Corporation will receive a 5.875% fixed annual interest rate and pay a floating annual rate equal to six-month London Inter Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an average of 0.235%. The critical terms of the Swaps and the related Notes agree and other conditions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 133”) have been met; accordingly, the hedge is considered perfectly effective and qualifies for the shortcut method of accounting. The Corporation is required to record the fair value of the Swaps and the corresponding change in the fair value of the related Notes in its consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2002, the fair market value of the debt covered by the Swaps is $102,073,000 as compared to a book value of $99,638,000.
 
    The Corporation’s interest payments were approximately $24.8 million in 2002 and $21.5 million in 2001 for the six months ended June 30.
 
4.   Income Taxes
 
    The Corporation’s estimated effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, was 37.5% in 2002 and 34.1% in 2001. The Corporation’s effective 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, foreign operating earnings, earnings from nonconsolidated investments, and for the six months ended June 30, 2001, amortization of nondeductible goodwill. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the estimated effective tax rate increased 400 basis points, primarily as a result of the write-off of nondeductible goodwill allocated to the divestiture of six quarries in the Columbus, Ohio, area. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the gain from the divestiture was treated as ordinary income. As a result, the tax rate for the full year 2002 will be affected. The increase in the estimated effective tax rate reduced net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002, by $2.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.
 
    The Corporation’s net income tax refunds were approximately $6.5 million in 2002 and $5.4 million in 2001, for the six months ended June 30.

5.   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.
 
6.   Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”)
 
    Effective January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted FAS 142. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but are tested annually for impairment. FAS 142 provides new measurement techniques for evaluating the recoverability of such assets. Other intangible assets, which consist primarily of contractual agreements, continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
 
    Management determined that the reporting units, which represent the level at which goodwill is tested for impairment, are the eight divisions of the Aggregates segment and the road paving business. There is no goodwill associated with the Magnesia Specialties segment. In accordance with FAS 142, goodwill for each of the reporting units is being tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. The comparison of fair value to carrying value represents Step 1 of the two-step approach required by FAS 142. The Corporation completed Step 1 during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Generally, the fair values of the reporting units were determined using a 15-year discounted cash flow model. Key assumptions included management’s estimates of future profitability, capital requirements, a discount rate of 10% and a terminal growth rate of 2%. All reporting units had fair values in excess of their carrying values, except for the road paving business. Therefore, Step 2 will be required for the road paving business reporting unit.
 
    Step 2 requires the implied fair value of goodwill to be calculated by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit to its tangible and intangible net assets, other than goodwill. The remaining unallocated fair value represents the implied fair value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference. If the implied fair value exceeds its carrying amount, there is no impairment. Step 2 for the road paving business will be completed by December 31, 2002. The Corporation currently expects the pretax goodwill impairment charge to be up to $15 million. The impairment charge resulting from the adoption of FAS 142 will be recorded as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, retroactive to January 1, 2002.

    During the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Corporation acquired goodwill of $28,131,000 and $201,227,000, respectively, all related to acquisitions in the Aggregates segment. During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the acquired goodwill related to three acquisitions. The goodwill acquired during the quarter ended June 30, 2001, related to five acquisitions, the most significant of which was Meridian Aggregates Company. The following shows the changes in net goodwill in 2002 (dollars in thousands):
                   
      Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
      June 30   June 30
     
 
Balance at beginning of period
  $ 576,407     $ 571,186  
Additions:
               
 
Acquisitions
    28,131       28,131  
Deductions:
               
 
Amounts allocated to divestitures
    (18,762 )     (18,762 )
 
Adjustments to purchase price allocations for 2001 acquisitions
    (4,161 )     1,060  
 
   
     
 
Balance at June 30, 2002
  $ 581,615     $ 581,615  
 
   
     
 
     
    The amounts allocated to divestitures primarily includes goodwill that was allocated to the divestitures of quarries in the Columbus, Ohio, area and the Fredericksburg and Culpeper, Virginia, areas. Under FAS 142, the disposition of all or a portion of a reporting unit requires the inclusion of all or an allocable portion of goodwill to be included in the carrying value of the business sold in determining the gain or loss on the disposal.
 
    During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the adjustments to purchase price allocations for 2001 acquisitions relate primarily to finalizing the Meridian acquisition. In particular, the Meridian purchase price allocation was adjusted to reflect accruals for plant closings and the deferred tax assets that resulted from the transaction.
 
    During the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Corporation acquired other intangibles of $600,000 and $3,473,000, respectively. These other intangibles were all noncompetition agreements with a weighted-average amortization period of 6.7 and 5.7 years in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

7.   Accounting Changes
 
    Effective January 1, 2002, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“FAS 144”). FAS 144 supercedes Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of and Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations – Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions. FAS 144 establishes criteria for the recognition and measurement of an impairment loss for long-lived assets to be held and used and defines classification of continuing and discontinued operations. FAS 144 also requires that assets held for sale be measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The adoption of FAS 144 did not have a material effect on the Corporation’s earnings or financial position.
 
    In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (“FAS 143”). FAS 143 requires recognition of the fair value of a liability representing an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. The asset retirement obligation is recorded at the acquisition date of a long-lived tangible asset if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. A corresponding amount is capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying amount. The Corporation incurs some reclamation liabilities as part of its aggregates mining process. However, certain reclamation costs are currently treated as normal ongoing operating expenses and expensed generally in the period in which they are incurred. FAS 143 is effective the first quarter of 2003 for the Corporation. The effect of the adoption of FAS 143 on the earnings and financial position of the Corporation has not yet been determined.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISUCSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001

OVERVIEW Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the “Corporation”), operates in two principal business segments: aggregates products division and magnesia-based products division. The Corporation’s sales and earnings are predominately derived from its aggregates segment, which processes and sells granite, limestone, and other aggregates products from a network of approximately 339 quarries and distribution facilities in 28 states in the southeastern, southwestern, midwestern and central regions of the United States and in the Bahamas and Canada. The Aggregates division’s products are used primarily by commercial customers principally in domestic construction of highways and other infrastructure projects and for commercial and residential buildings. The magnesia-based products division 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, 2001, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2002. Management continues to evaluate its accounting policies to identify those policies that are considered critical. Effective January 1, 2002, the evaluation of impairment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with the criteria prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“FAS 142”) became a critical accounting policy. As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements on pages 8 through 11, the Corporation has completed Step 1 of the initial evaluation and will need to complete Step 2 for the road paving business reporting unit. The Corporation currently expects the pretax goodwill impairment charge to be up to $15 million.

The direct influence of long-term interest rates and investment returns, and the volatility that changes in these factors can have on retirement and postretirement benefit expense, supported the selection of retirement and postretirement benefits as a critical accounting policy in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2002. Continued current volatility in the economy and the resulting effect on investment returns of the assets invested in the retirement benefit plan may require additional cash contributions in 2003, result in an additional minimum pension liability with a corresponding charge to equity, and/or significantly increase the pension expense. See Note I and the "Capital Structure and Resources" section in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, for further information.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Consolidated net sales for the quarter were $424.8 million, a 1% increase over 2001 second quarter sales of $420.2 million. Consolidated earnings from operations were $81.9 million in the second quarter of 2002 compared with $64.5 million in the second quarter of 2001. Interest expense for the quarter was $11.2 million as compared to $13.3 million in the second quarter 2001. Other income and expenses, net was $13.7 million in income for the second quarter 2002, an increase of $5.7 million over the prior-year quarter. Consolidated net earnings for the quarter were $53.4 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, compared to 2001 second quarter net earnings of $39.0 million, or $0.82 per diluted share.

Consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2002 increased 5% to $714.7 million, from $683.9 million for the year-earlier period. On a year-to-date basis, operating earnings increased $10.3 million, or 15%, to $76.9 million. The six months ended June 30, 2001, included $10.2 million of goodwill amortization expense. Other income and expenses, net, was $4.7 million of income more than the prior year, while interest expense decreased $1.5 million, or 6%. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, net earnings were $42.8 million, or $0.88 per diluted share; net earnings for the comparable prior-year period were $34.3 million, or $0.72 per diluted share.

Net sales for the Aggregates division increased 3% to $405.1 million for the second quarter, compared with the year-earlier period. Aggregates pricing at heritage locations increased approximately 2%. Heritage aggregates shipments increased 1% with strong performance in the southwest and midwest regions of the United States. Inclusive of volume from acquisitions, which was partially offset by divestitures, total aggregate shipments were up 1%.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the Aggregates division was 26.7% as compared to 22.8% in the prior year second quarter. Gross profit increased across the aggregates, asphalt and ready mixed concrete lines of business. Among other things, the increase resulted from the strong operational performance experienced at the acquired Meridian locations, the Texas markets, and the Midwest. Additional factors included lower fuel costs and the nonamortization of goodwill. Goodwill amortization was $6.0 million in the second quarter 2001. Furthermore, the Corporation has begun to recognize improved operational efficiencies and lower production costs from recent plant modernization projects and process improvement programs at certain of its locations. The gross margin percentage for the second quarter 2001 was negatively affected by flooding in the Houston, Texas and Columbus, Ohio areas and a work stoppage in the Indianapolis, Indiana area. Gross profit percentage for the Aggregates division for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was 19.1% as compared to 18.0% for the comparable prior-year period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased almost 6% at the Aggregates division. These expenses represented 6.8% of net sales in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to 6.6% in the prior year quarter. For the six months ended June 30, selling, general and administrative expenses represented 8.1% and 7.5% of net sales in 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Aggregates division’s earnings from operations were $80.5 million in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to $63.5 million in the second quarter of 2001. On a year-to-date basis, the division’s earnings from operations were $74.0 million in 2002 and $65.9 million in 2001.

The Aggregates division’s business is significantly affected by seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions. Consequently, the Aggregates division’s production and shipment levels coincide with general construction activity levels, most of which occur in the division’s markets typically during the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Further because of the potentially significant impact of weather on the Corporation’s operations, first half results are not indicative of expected performance for the year.

Magnesia Specialties’ second quarter 2002 sales of $19.7 million declined 25% from the prior-year’s net sales of $26.3 million, principally as a result of the May 2001 sale of the refractories business. Earnings from operations for the second quarter were $1.4 million for 2002 as compared to $1.0 million in 2001. For the first six months of 2002, net sales were $38.4 million and earnings from operations were $2.9 million. Net sales were $57.3 million and earnings from operations were $0.8 million for the first six months of 2001.

Other income and expenses, net, for the quarter ended June 30, was $13.7 million in income in 2002 compared with $7.9 million in income in 2001. On a year-to-date basis, other income and expenses, net, was $13.9 million in income in 2002 and $9.2 million in income in 2001. In addition to other offsetting amounts, other income and expenses, net, is comprised generally of interest income, gains and losses associated with the disposition of certain assets, gains and losses related to certain amounts receivable, costs associated with the commercialization of certain new technologies and net equity earnings from nonconsolidated investments.

Other income and expenses, net, for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 included $20.3 million of gains on divestitures of quarries in the Columbus, Ohio, area and the Fredericksburg and Culpeper, Virginia, areas. Other income and expenses, net, also included $6.6 million of expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 related to legal settlements and to reserve an investment related to certain new technologies. Other income and expenses, net, for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 included an $8.9 million gain on the sale of the refractories business of Magnesia Specialties.

Interest expense was $11.2 million in the second quarter 2002, compared to $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2001. For the six months ended June 30, interest expense was $22.3 million in 2002 as compared to $23.8 million in 2001.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001

Management’s outlook for the remainder of the year is cautious due primarily to continued current economic weakness and declining construction demand. The 2002 outlook includes flat to 3% volume growth, inclusive of acquisitions and the effect of divestitures. Average sales prices are expected to increase 2% to 2.5% at heritage locations. Net earnings for 2002 are expected to range from $2.35 to $2.60 per diluted share, inclusive of other income and the effect of divested operations on operating earnings and the effective tax rate for the year. It is also inclusive of the elimination of goodwill amortization and its impact on the effective tax rate. Assuming the prior-year’s level of goodwill amortization and the current estimated 2002 effective tax rate, the benefit from the nonamortization provisions of FAS 142 is estimated at $0.28 per diluted share. This amount has been revised from previous estimates to include the impact of goodwill amortization which is included in inventory at less than previously estimated. The estimate of full year 2002 earnings per diluted share excludes the anticipated impairment charge for goodwill related to the road paving business, which is estimated to be up to $15 million on a pretax basis. Third quarter 2002 earnings are expected to approximate earnings reported in the third quarter of 2001.

The Corporation outlined the risks associated with its aggregates operations in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2002. Management continues to evaluate its exposure to all operating risks on an ongoing basis. However, due to current general economic conditions, adverse exposure to certain operating risks is heightened, including the ability of state and local governments to fund construction and maintenance. Also, current levels of commercial and residential construction activity may be more negatively affected, if the general economic downturn continues or deteriorates. If shipment volumes are negatively affected, operating results may be adversely affected due to the significant portion of production expenses that are fixed costs. Other factors that may affect management’s outlook are discussed on page 22 of this report.

The seasonal nature of the construction aggregates business impacts quarterly net cash provided by operating activities when compared with the year. Full year 2001 net cash provided by operating activities was $252.9 million, compared with $44.3 million provided by operations in the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Six-month capital expenditures, exclusive of acquisitions, were $67.9 million in 2002 and $102.1 million in 2001. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $125 million for 2002, exclusive of acquisitions. Comparable full-year capital expenditures were $194.4 million in 2001.

In 2002 and 2001, the Corporation entered into new equipment operating leases with aggregate future commitments of $31.2 and $30.0 million, respectively. The Corporation intends to continue entering into operating leases, primarily for mobile equipment, in its ordinary course of business. The Corporation also enters into equipment rentals on a regular basis to meet shorter term, nonrecurring and intermittent needs.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001

The Corporation is a minority member of certain limited liability corporations (“LLCs”) whereby the majority members are paid a preferred return from the profits of the underlying businesses. For one of these LLCs, the Corporation is required to purchase another minority member’s interests. Additionally, the Corporation has commitments for lease obligations related to an acquisition. The commitments related to the LLC, and acquisition related lease and certain contingent obligations total approximately $28 million.

As discussed in the “Results of Operations” section contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 12 to 18, during the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Corporation received proceeds related to certain divestitures. Such proceeds, partially offset by amounts being held in escrow for like-kind exchanges, are reflected in other investing activities in the statement of cash flows.

In August 2002, the Corporation amended its Five-Year Credit Agreement by increasing the credit facility from $225 million to $275 million. This agreement expires in August 2006. Additionally, the Corporation reduced its commercial paper program facility from $450 million to $275 million. Furthermore, the Corporation did not renew the 364-day $225 million revolving credit agreement that expired in August 2002.

In May 2002, the Corporation entered into interest rate swap agreements related to $100 million of the Notes due in 2008. The Corporation will receive a fixed interest rate and pay a variable rate based on LIBOR. The swap agreements terminate concurrently with the maturity of the Notes. The swap agreements are designed to effectively convert the interest rate expense on $100 million of the Notes from a 5.875% fixed annual rate to a floating annual rate equal to six-month LIBOR plus an average of 0.235%.

The Corporation continues to rely upon internally generated funds and access to capital markets, including its revolving credit agreement and a cash management facility, to meet its liquidity requirements, finance its operations, and fund its capital requirements.

With respect to the Corporation’s ability to access the public market, currently, management has the authority to file a universal shelf registration statement with the Commission for up to $500 million in issuance of either debt or equity securities. It should be noted, however, that the Corporation has not determined the timing when, or the amount for which, it may file such shelf registration. The Corporation’s ability to borrow or issue debt securities is dependent, among other things, upon prevailing economic, financial and market conditions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001

Based on prior performance and current expectations, the Corporation’s management believes that cash flows from internally generated funds and its access to capital markets are expected to continue to be sufficient to provide the capital resources necessary to fund the operating needs of its existing businesses, cover debt service requirements, and allow for payment of dividends in 2002.

The Corporation may be required to obtain additional levels of financing in order to fund certain strategic acquisitions, if any such opportunities arise. Currently, the Corporation’s senior unsecured debt is rated “A-” by Standard & Poor’s and “A3” by Moody’s. The Corporation’s commercial paper obligations are rated “A-2” by Standard & Poor’s and “P-2” by Moody’s. In July 2001, Standard and Poor’s revised its outlook on the Corporation to negative from stable while reaffirming its ratings. The outlook revision reflects Standard & Poor’s belief that the Corporation’s acquisition activity could make it more difficult for the Corporation to restore its credit ratios to certain levels. While management believes its credit ratings will remain at an investment-grade level, no assurance can be given that these ratings will remain at the above-mentioned levels.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Corporation is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates on borrowings under its various long-term debt instruments. Because substantially all of the debt was at fixed rates, a decline in interest rates would result in an increase in the fair market value of the liability. In May 2002, the Corporation entered into interest rate swap agreements (the “Swaps”) for interest related to $100 million of the $200 million Notes due in 2008 to increase the percentage of its long-term debt that bears interest at a variable rate. The Swaps are fair value hedges designed to hedge against changes in the fair value of the Notes due to changes in LIBOR, the designated benchmark interest rate. The terms of the Swaps include the Corporation receiving a fixed annual interest rate of 5.875% and paying a variable annual interest rate based on six-month LIBOR plus an average of 0.235%.

The Corporation is required to record the fair value of the Swaps and the change in the fair value of the related Notes in its consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, no gain or loss is recorded for the changes in fair values. At June 30, 2002, the fair market value of the debt covered by the Swaps is $102,073,000 as compared to a book value of $99,638,000.

As a result of the Swaps, the Corporation has increased interest rate risk associated with changes in the LIBOR rate. The effect of a hypothetical decline in interest rates of 1% would increase the fair market value of the debt covered by the Swaps by approximately $6 million.
