VULCAN ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

 

Earnings Per Diluted Share of $0.23

Gross Profit Margin Up 280 Basis Points Driven by Year-over-Year Earnings Improvement in Each Operating Segment

 

 

Birmingham, Alabama – August 1, 2013 – Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE:VMC), the nation’s largest producer of construction aggregates, today announced results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2013.

 

Second Quarter Summary

·

Net sales increased $47 million, or 7 percent, versus the prior year.

·

Gross profit increased $27 million, or 25 percent, from the prior year’s second quarter.

·

Aggregates gross profit increased $15 million and gross profit margin increased 130 basis points.

o

Aggregates shipments increased 2 percent from the prior year despite significantly more wet weather in the eastern half of the U.S.

o

Aggregates pricing increased 4 percent versus the prior year.

·

Non-aggregates segment gross profit improved $12 million.

o

Volumes in ready-mixed concrete and cement increased 15 percent and 20 percent, respectively, due to continued improvement in private construction.

·

Earnings from continuing operations were $30 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, versus a loss of $17 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the prior year.

·

The Company divested certain non-core operating assets for approximately $35 million in proceeds and a gain of $0.10 per diluted share.

·

EBITDA was $164 million, an increase of $61 million, or 59 percent, compared to the second quarter of last year. Excluding gains on the sale of assets, as well as restructuring and exchange offer costs, Adjusted EBITDA increased 11 percent.

 

Don James, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Each of our operating segments reported solid growth in second quarter earnings, contributing to improved gross profit margin and earnings per share. We achieved these results despite challenging, wet weather conditions that sharply reduced June shipments in many markets. Demand for our products continues to benefit from recovery in private construction activity, particularly residential construction, in many of our key markets. We realized strong increases in second quarter aggregates shipments in key states – driven mostly by housing demand. Growth in residential construction activity, and its traditional following impact on private nonresidential construction, continues to underpin our expectations for volume and earnings improvement in 2013. Assuming more normal weather patterns, we expect that most of the delays in shipments due to weather in the first half of the year can be recovered in the second half of the year.”

 

 

Commentary on Second Quarter 2013 Segment Results

Aggregates segment gross profit was $127 million, a $15 million increase from the prior year. This earnings improvement was due to higher prices in virtually all markets and higher volumes in many markets. Overall, freight-adjusted aggregates prices increased 4 percent versus the prior year. Aggregates shipments in a number of the Company’s markets increased sharply versus the prior year. Shipments in Arizona and Florida increased more than 50 percent due mostly to strong private construction demand. Shipments in Texas and along the central Gulf Coast also benefited from stronger demand, particularly large industrial projects, increasing more than 20 percent versus the prior year. Aggregates shipments in North Carolina and California increased 10 to 20 percent compared to the prior year. Shipments in the Midwest and Virginia were sharply lower due to wet weather and the timing of certain large projects in the prior year.

 

Gross profit from non-aggregates businesses improved $12 million versus the prior year. Segment earnings for Concrete and Cement both benefited from sharply higher shipments. Asphalt Mix segment earnings improved due to lower liquid asphalt costs. Asphalt unit profitability, as measured by materials margin, increased 20 percent compared to the prior year.

 

2013 Outlook

Regarding the Company’s outlook, Mr. James stated, “We are encouraged by the continued improvement in the economic and construction-related fundamentals that drive demand for our products. Housing starts in the U.S. are up sharply from a year ago and contract awards for private nonresidential buildings, measured in square feet, have increased double-digits as well. Importantly, we are seeing significant growth in housing starts in several key states, including Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia and Texas. Growth in residential construction leads to growth in demand for private non-residential investment as well as new sources of tax revenue, all of which drive increased construction activity. Consequently, aggregates demand in private construction is growing.

 

Mr. James continued, “As we look at the projects that could impact our 2013 aggregates volumes, we continue to see a disproportionately greater number of large highway and industrial projects. The timing and quantity of shipments to these projects remains difficult to predict. Our current expectation is for aggregates demand from public construction, including highways and other infrastructure, to approximate 2012. However, recent growth, albeit modest, in new highway contract awards has resulted from a more stable and predictable funding environment. New highway projects, as measured by trailing twelve month contract awards, increased 1 percent versus the prior year’s level – the second consecutive quarter with an increase. The large increase in TIFIA funding contained in last year’s highway bill will positively impact future demand.

 

“As we look to the remainder of 2013, we expect second half aggregates shipments to increase 2 to 4 percent versus the prior year. This volume outlook assumes more normal weather patterns throughout the remainder of the year. Additionally, the timing of aggregates shipments to several large projects remains outside our control and as a result can cause some variability in our year-over-year growth.

 

“Over each of the past four quarters, our year-over-year quarterly pricing gains of at least 4 percent and the geographic breadth of the pricing improvement help reinforce our expectations for price growth of 4 percent in 2013.

 

 

“Additionally, earnings in each of our non-aggregates segments should improve versus the prior year and contribute significantly to our overall earnings improvement in 2013. Asphalt materials margin increased throughout 2012 and we expect materials margins to increase again in 2013 and contribute to earnings growth in this segment. Full year concrete volumes and materials margin are expected to improve in 2013 as housing and private construction continue to recover in key states. Concrete volumes in the first half of 2013 increased 11 percent versus the prior year due in part to increased private construction activity in Florida. We expect the increased private construction activity to continue leading to improved unit profitability in the Concrete segment. Cement earnings should improve in 2013 due to higher shipments and pricing as well as lower production costs.

 

“We continue to expect full year Selling, Administrative and General expenses to be flat to slightly down as compared to the prior year. Through the first half of 2013, controllable costs are down versus the prior year as we continue to tightly manage expenditures.

 

“We remain focused on our strategic initiative to enhance our leading aggregates reserve position in attractive markets. During the first half of 2013, we divested certain assets in lower margin, lower growth markets in the Midwest for approximately $40 million in proceeds. Additionally, we added aggregates reserves and operations in attractive markets in Texas and Georgia through acquisitions totaling approximately $90 million. Going forward, we will continue to look for opportunities to further enhance our strategic coast-to-coast footprint.”

2.   Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

 

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) does not define "free cash flow," "Aggregates segment cash gross profit," "Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization" (EBITDA) and "cash earnings."  Thus, free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities or any other liquidity measure defined by GAAP.  Likewise, aggregates segment cash gross profit, EBITDA and cash earnings should not be considered as alternatives to earnings measures defined by GAAP.  We present these metrics for the convenience of investment professionals who use such metrics in their analyses, and for shareholders who need to understand the metrics we use to assess performance and to monitor our cash and liquidity positions.  The investment community often uses these metrics as indicators of a company's ability to incur and service debt.  We use free cash flow, Aggregates segment cash gross profit, EBITDA, cash earnings and other such measures to assess liquidity and the operating performance of our various business units and the consolidated company.  We do not use these metrics as a measure to allocate resources.  Additionally, we adjust EBITDA for certain items to provide a more consistent comparison of performance from period to period.  Reconciliations of these metrics to their nearest GAAP measures are presented below:

 

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow deducts purchases of property, plant & equipment from net cash provided by operating activities.
