MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS, INC. ANNOUNCES
FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS
FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS
Stability In Aggregates Leads To Improved Operating Margin;
Specialty Products Posts Record First-Quarter Results
Specialty Products Posts Record First-Quarter Results
RALEIGH, North Carolina (May 3, 2011) — Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (NYSE:MLM) today announced
results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Ward Nye, President and CEO of Martin Marietta Materials, stated, “Our first-quarter financial
results confirmed our expectations, reflecting a 240-basis-point improvement in our consolidated
operating margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) over the prior-year quarter. I am
especially pleased our Aggregates business experienced greater levels of stability during the
quarter. In particular, aggregates product line pricing, supported partly by 2010 volume growth,
increased for the first time in more than a year. We believe this pattern of stability will
continue and serve as a platform as we advance toward the next phase of the construction cycle —
recovery and growth.”
Notable Items For The Quarter (all comparisons are versus the prior-year quarter)
| • | Net sales increased to $306.2 million compared with $295.6 million |
||
| • | Loss per diluted share of $0.39 compared with loss per diluted share of $0.54 |
||
| • | Increased diesel costs negatively affected earnings by $0.05 per diluted share |
||
| • | Heritage aggregates product line pricing up 0.4% |
||
| • | Heritage aggregates product line volume down 1.2% |
||
| • | Specialty Products record first-quarter earnings from operations of $15.1 million |
||
| • | Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses down 190 basis points as a percentage
of net sales |
Management Commentary
Nye continued, “Since heavy-construction activity slows during the winter months, our first-quarter results seldom reflect annual performance. That said, milder weather in some of our markets early in the quarter led to monthly aggregates shipment growth over the prior-year periods. In contrast to 2010, weather patterns deteriorated in the critical last two weeks of March, slowing momentum gained early in the quarter. We believe these weather-related delays in shipments were a primary factor leading to an overall quarterly decrease of 1% in our heritage aggregates volume. However, despite a volume decrease for the quarter and the negative impact of rising diesel prices, we achieved an incremental operating margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) for our Aggregates business, in line with our expectations.

“Infrastructure as our largest end-use market, comprises approximately half of our quarterly
aggregates shipments. Uncertainty stemming from the absence of a long-term federal highway bill
has negatively affected the infrastructure construction market. For the quarter, infrastructure
shipments declined 3% compared with the prior-year quarter.
“The residential end-use market volume grew 15% compared with the prior-year quarter, reflecting
increased multi-family construction activity. Our ChemRock/Rail end-use market experienced a 2%
volume increase compared with the prior-year quarter. The commercial component of the
nonresidential end-use market, particularly in our San Antonio District, reflected increased
shipments during the quarter. While we continue to expect strong volumes to the energy sector for
the full year, shipments to this industry declined from the prior-year quarter, which led to an
overall 3% reduction in nonresidential shipments.
“Compared with the prior-year quarter, changes in aggregates pricing varied by geographic region.
In the first quarter of 2011, more of our markets reported pricing increases than in the past two
years. For example, quarterly heritage aggregates pricing for the Southeast Group increased 5.8%,
with price increases in the Florida market compensating for a price decrease in the Alabama market.
Pricing in the West Group was negatively affected by product mix, particularly in the Southwest
market. Other markets in the West, including North Texas and Iowa, had pricing increases.
“Our Specialty Products business benefitted from strong demand, primarily in the magnesia chemicals
product line, where volume records were achieved for several product lines. The Specialty Products
business reported record quarterly net sales of $49.1 million, an 18% increase over the prior-year
quarter. Record first-quarter earnings from operations of $15.1 million grew 35% compared with the
prior-year quarter, reflecting increased product demand and our continued cost control efforts.
Thus, while we expect strong performance from this business segment for the remainder of the year,
prospective prior-year comparisons will be versus record 2010 quarterly performance.
“Our continuous commitment to cost control is evident in our SG&A expenses, down $4.3 million, or
190 basis points as a percentage of net sales, primarily due to lower personnel and pension costs.
Consolidated direct production costs increased 7%, primarily due to a 14% increase in
noncontrollable energy costs. Higher energy prices also increased embedded freight costs for the
quarter, as transportation providers passed on their rising energy costs.
“For the first quarter 2011, we reported a loss from operations of $6.1 million, a significant
improvement compared with a loss from operations of $12.9 million for the first quarter 2010.
“The overall effective tax rate for the quarter was 27% compared with 17% for the first quarter
2010. The 2010 effective tax rate includes the effect of a $2.8 million charge resulting from the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Act”).
Liquidity And Capital Resources
“We continue the attentive management of our balance sheet, liquidity and cash flow generation. Cash from operating activities for the first quarter was $21.3 million compared with $27.1 million for 2010, primarily due to the timing of federal income tax refunds. Working capital management remains a priority and to that end, days sales outstanding was 45 days, essentially flat with 2010 and the change in net working capital improved nearly $9 million in the first quarter compared with 2010.

“During the first quarter, we invested $30.7 million of capital in organic growth projects. In May
2011, we will begin the construction of a $53 million dolomitic lime kiln at our Specialty Products
location in Woodville, Ohio. This project is expected to be completed by the end of 2012.

“On March 31, 2011, we entered into a new $600 million credit agreement that provides a $350
million four-year unsecured revolving facility (“Revolving Facility”) and a $250 million senior
unsecured term loan (“Term Loan Facility”). At closing, we borrowed $250 million under the Term
Loan Facility and on April 1, 2011, we borrowed $100 million on our accounts receivable credit
facility. These borrowings were used to repay amounts outstanding under our previous term loan as
of March 31, 2011, and also $242 million of Notes that matured on April 1, 2011. The new credit
agreement retained the leverage ratio covenant that limits our ratio of consolidated debt to
consolidated earnings before interest expense, tax expense, and depreciation, depletion and
amortization expense (EBITDA), as defined, for the trailing twelve-months to 3.5 times. However,
if no amounts are outstanding under both the new revolving facility and our accounts receivable
securitization facility, consolidated debt may be reduced by our cash and cash equivalents in
excess of $50 million, such reduction not to exceed $200 million, for purposes of the covenant
calculation. At March 31, 2011, our ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, as defined,
for the trailing twelve-months was 2.73 times. We are pleased that Standard & Poor’s recently
reaffirmed our credit rating and upgraded our outlook from negative to stable.
2011 Outlook
“A variety of factors make it difficult to form a complete perspective for 2011. A noteworthy consideration will be the rate at which states spend available Stimulus funds for infrastructure projects. We are operating under a Congressional continuing resolution that extends the Safe, Accountable, Flexible and Efficient Transportation Equity Act — A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) through September 30, 2011. Although there is bipartisan Congressional agreement that infrastructure is a key and essential governmental priority, there is heightened sensitivity with respect to all government spending due to the national deficit. Without interim clarity, a definitive outlook is uncertain. We believe there are several options for federal infrastructure funding, including additional continuing resolutions that maintain current funding through the next presidential election or a new federal highway bill with flat or reduced funding and which may be shorter than the typical six-year term. While operating under a continuing resolution is more likely for 2011, we believe Congress understands that fully funded, reauthorized infrastructure legislation at the Federal level serves as an efficient means of jobs creation and investment in America’s economic growth.

While operating under a continuing resolution is more likely for 2011, we believe Congress understands that fully funded, reauthorized infrastructure legislation at the Federal level serves as an efficient means of jobs creation and investment in America’s economic growth.
“Given this uncertainty, our 2011 outlook assumes there will be additional continuing resolutions
that maintain current federal funding levels. We also expect that state spending on infrastructure
should remain relatively constant and 30% of ARRA infrastructure funds will be spent this year. We
expect the infrastructure end-use market to be flat to slightly down; we anticipate a modest volume
recovery in the commercial component of our nonresidential end-use market. Considering the notable
aggregates shipments to the energy sector in 2010, we expect the rate of growth in the heavy
industrial component of our nonresidential end-use market to moderate in 2011. Natural gas prices
and the timing of lease commitments for oil and natural gas companies will be significant factors
for energy-sector activity. Additionally, given current oil prices, there is a possibility of
increased wind farm construction activity. Overall, we expect nonresidential end-use shipments in
2011 to increase in the mid-single digit range. We have noticed early signs of potential recovery
in the multi-family component of the residential construction market and we expect the rate of
improvement in this end-use market to increase over 2010. Finally, our ChemRock/Rail shipments
should be stable compared with 2010 shipments. Cumulatively, we expect flat to a 3% improvement in
overall aggregates volume in 2011.
“Stability in our aggregates shipments will likely lead to sustainable price increases. However,
such increases may not be uniform throughout our enterprise. Overall, we expect full-year 2011
aggregates pricing will
range from flat to a 2% increase. Additionally, rising energy costs may provide an impetus for
certain mid-year price increases.

“Aggregates production cost per ton in 2011 is expected to range from flat to a slight decrease
compared with 2010, despite rising energy costs. The Specialty Products segment should contribute
$50 million to $52 million in pretax earnings for 2011, as economic recovery drives industrial
demand for magnesia-based chemicals products and continued demand for environmental applications is
driven by the United States’ focus on green technology and innovation.
“Selling, general and administrative expenses should be lower in 2011, primarily due to lower
pension expense. Interest expense should be approximately $60 million in 2011, or $8 million less
than 2010, resulting from our refinancing of $242 million of our 6.875% Senior Notes with
variable-rate borrowings under our outstanding credit facilities. Our effective tax rate is
expected to be 26%. Capital expenditures are forecast at $175 million for 2011, including the
first $25 million of the $53 million project in Specialty Products and nearly $50 million for
selective high-quality growth projects.”
Risks To Outlook
The 2011 estimated outlook includes management’s assessment of the likelihood of certain risk factors that will affect performance. The most significant risk to 2011 performance will be, as previously noted, the United States economy and its impact on construction activity.
The 2011 estimated outlook includes management’s assessment of the likelihood of certain risk factors that will affect performance. The most significant risk to 2011 performance will be, as previously noted, the United States economy and its impact on construction activity.
Other risks related to the Corporation’s future performance include, but are not limited to: both
price and volume and include a recurrence of widespread decline in aggregates pricing; a
greater-than-expected decline in infrastructure construction as a result of continued delays in
traditional federal, ARRA, state and/or local infrastructure projects and continued lack of clarity
regarding the timing and amount of the federal highway bill; a decline in nonresidential
construction; a slowdown in the residential construction recovery; or some combination thereof.
Further, increased highway construction funding pressures resulting from either federal or state
issues can affect profitability. Currently, nearly all states are experiencing some funding-level
pressures driven by lower tax revenues. If these pressures reduce transportation budgets more than
in the past, construction spending could be negatively affected. North Carolina and Texas are
among the states experiencing these general pressures, although recent statistics indicate that tax
revenues are increasing; these states disproportionately affect our revenue and profitability.
The Corporation’s principal business serves customers in construction aggregates-related markets.
This concentration could increase the risk of potential losses on customer receivables; however,
payment bonds normally posted on public projects, together with lien rights on private projects,
help to mitigate the risk of uncollectible receivables. 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, such as, steel, explosives, tires and conveyor belts.
Fluctuating diesel pricing also affects transportation costs, primarily through fuel surcharges in
the Corporation’s long-haul distribution network.
Transportation in the Corporation’s long-haul network, particularly barge availability on the
Mississippi River system as well as 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. The Aggregates business is also subject to weather-related risks that
can significantly affect production schedules and profitability. The first and fourth quarters are
most adversely affected by winter weather.
Risks to
the 2011 outlook include shipment declines as a result of economic
events beyond the Corporation’s control. In addition to the impact on nonresidential and residential construction,
the Corporation is exposed to risk in its estimated outlook from
credit markets and the availability of and interest cost related to its debt.

Factors that the Corporation currently believes could cause actual results to differ materially
from the forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, the
performance of the United States economy; widespread decline in aggregates pricing; 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
Texas, Georgia, Iowa and Louisiana, which when coupled with North Carolina, represented 55% of 2010
net sales of 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 component of the nonresidential construction market, notably office and retail
space; a slowdown in residential construction recovery; unfavorable weather conditions,
particularly Atlantic Ocean hurricane activity, the late start to spring or 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 and other costs to comply with tightening regulations as well as higher
volumes of rail and water shipments; availability and cost of construction equipment in the United
States; weakening in the steel industry markets served by the Corporation’s dolomitic lime
products; inflation and its effect on both production and interest costs; ability to successfully
integrate acquisitions quickly and in a cost-effective manner and achieve anticipated profitability
to maintain compliance with the Corporation’s leverage ratio debt covenant; 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 price and/or volumes return to previous
levels of instability; 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 such forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Dollars in millions)
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 months ended
March 31, 2011 and 2010 in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the ratios as percentages of total revenues to percentages of net sales:
