Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.
|
The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
As previously announced, on January 27, 2014, Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (“Martin Marietta”), Texas Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TXI”), and Project Holdings, Inc., a North Carolina corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Martin Marietta (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into TXI (the “Merger”), with TXI surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Martin Marietta.
Upon consummation of the Merger, Martin Marietta currently expects to redeem TXI’s 9 ¼% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “TXI Notes”) and to satisfy and discharge the related indenture. Martin Marietta expects to finance such redemption, satisfaction and discharge with a combination of the net proceeds from the proposed private notes offering described under Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, cash on hand and drawings under its trade receivables facility and/or revolving credit facility.
In a preliminary offering memorandum dated June 23, 2014 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), distributed to prospective investors in connection with the proposed private notes offering, Martin Marietta disclosed certain information to prospective investors. The following information, excerpted from the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, is furnished to this report under Item 7.01:
Use of proceeds
Martin Marietta estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $694.9 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and Martin Marietta’s estimated offering expenses, and assuming an aggregate issue price of par. Absent any special mandatory redemption of the Notes, Martin Marietta intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, along with cash on hand and drawings under its trade receivables facility, to redeem all $650.0 million in principal amount of the TXI Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a specified “make-whole premium” and unpaid interest accrued thereon (estimated to be approximately $765.5 million). Martin Marietta currently expects to redeem, and satisfy and discharge the indenture governing, the TXI Notes upon consummation of the Merger. Although Martin Marietta expects to finance the redemption of the TXI Notes with a combination of the net proceeds from the offering, cash on hand and drawings under its trade receivables facility, if the borrowing base under its trade receivables facility is not fully available upon consummation of the Merger, Martin Marietta expects to borrow under its revolving credit facility to finance a portion of such redemption. Pending final use, Martin Marietta expects to invest the net proceeds in short-term investments, including repurchase agreements, some or all of which may not be investment grade.
As of March 31, 2014 (subject to the following sentence), after giving pro forma effect to the offering, the incremental $100.0 million draw on its trade receivables facility (as described below), the consummation of the Merger and the redemption of the TXI Notes as described in the above paragraph, (a) Martin Marietta would have had consolidated outstanding indebtedness of $1,876.7 million, of which $250.0 million would have represented secured indebtedness, (b) Martin Marietta’s subsidiaries other than TXI and its subsidiaries would have had no outstanding indebtedness or preferred equity, and (c) TXI and its subsidiaries would have had $8.8 million of outstanding indebtedness and no preferred equity. Such as adjusted pro forma amounts as of March 31, 2014 include TXI’s balance sheet information as of February 28, 2014; Martin Marietta is not aware of any significant transactions outside the ordinary course of business for TXI in the month ended March 31, 2014.
Recent developments
Martin Marietta has a trade receivables securitization facility backed by trade receivables originated by Martin Marietta and certain of its subsidiaries. On April 18, 2014, Martin Marietta and its wholly owned subsidiary, Martin Marietta Funding LLC (“MM Funding”), entered into the Second Amendment to its Credit and Security Agreement with SunTrust Bank dated as of April 19, 2013, to extend the termination date of the facility to September 30, 2014. The facility bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus a margin. As of March 31, 2014, the trade receivables facility was fully drawn. On June 20, 2014, MM Funding received a commitment letter from SunTrust Bank agreeing to increase the amount of the facility by an additional $100.0 million to a total of $250.0 million on July 1, 2014. Martin Marietta expects to fully draw the incremental $100.0 million on or before the date it consummates the Merger in order to partially fund the redemption of the TXI Notes, and for general working capital purposes.
Additionally, on June 20, 2014, Martin Marietta entered into an amendment to the credit agreement governing its revolving credit facility in order to (i) amend the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” therein to permit certain Merger-related transaction expenses to be added back in the determination of Consolidated EBITDA and (ii) amend the required levels in the leverage ratio financial covenant therein, which is tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.

Martin Marietta calculates Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“EBITDA”) as net earnings (loss) attributable to Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., before interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense for controlling interests and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, and Martin Marietta calculates Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for the operating and non-operating costs described in the table below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, neither measure should be considered as a substitute for net earnings (loss), operating earnings (loss), cash flow provided by operating activities or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, Martin Marietta’s management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may provide additional information with respect to its performance or ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net earnings and may vary among companies, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for Martin Marietta may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including TXI.

TXI calculates Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“EBITDA”) as net income (loss) from operations before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, restructuring charges and goodwill impairment, and loss on debt retirements. Martin Marietta calculates TXI’s Adjusted EBITDA as TXI’s EBITDA adjusted for the operating and non-operating costs described in the table below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, neither measure should be considered as a substitute for net income (loss), net income (loss) from continuing operations, cash flow provided by operating activities or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, Martin Marietta’s management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may provide additional information with respect to TXI’s performance or ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and may vary among companies, EBITDA and Adjusted for TXI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including Martin Marietta.

In the fiscal years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, TXI reported after-tax gain on discontinued operations of $5,849 and $9,313, respectively, and did not separately report such amounts on a pre-tax basis. The pre-tax loss (gain) on discontinued operations for such periods in the table above have been estimated using TXI’s overall effective income tax rate of 37.3% and 42.0% in the fiscal years ended May 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
|
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations include the fact that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
|
●
|
do not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
|
|
|
●
|
do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs;
|
|
|
●
|
do not reflect significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on indebtedness;
|
|
|
●
|
exclude certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available;
|
|
|
●
|
do not reflect any cash requirements for assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;
|
|
|
●
|
do not reflect certain charges that affect the operating results of business; and
|
|
|
●
|
involve judgment as to whether items affect fundamental operating performance.
|
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to Martin Marietta or TXI to invest in the growth of their respective businesses. Management uses these financial measures only as a supplement to GAAP results.
