Third-Quarter Highlights
(Financial highlights are for continuing operations, unless otherwise noted)

¹   Revenues for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 include the sales of products and services to customers (net of any discounts or allowances) and freight revenues for continuing operations and does not include revenues from discontinued operations of $242 million and $247 million, respectively.
²   Consolidated net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 include both net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Martin Marietta and earnings from discontinued operations. Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income tax expense, was $53 million and $66 million, respectively.
³   Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. See Appendix to this earnings release for a reconciliation to net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Martin Marietta and consolidated net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta, respectively.

Ward Nye, Chair and CEO of Martin Marietta, stated, “Martin Marietta delivered outstanding third-quarter results, led by record-setting performance in our aggregates business, which achieved all-time quarterly records for revenues, gross profit, gross profit per ton and gross margin, underscoring the efficacy of our SOAR plan and the compounding benefits of diligently executing our aggregates-led product strategy. These exceptional results were further complemented by record quarterly revenues and third-quarter gross profit in our Specialties business. Notably, we also achieved our best year-to-date safety performance in our Company’s history, as measured by total reportable and lost time incident rates. Given our strong year-to-date performance and current aggregates shipment trends, we are raising our full-year 2025 guidance for Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to $2.32 billion at the midpoint.

“More broadly, our third quarter and year-to-date performance provides a meaningful indication of likely future outcomes. First, demand trends across our key end markets remain broadly constructive. Infrastructure activity continues to be strong, supported by record levels of federal and state investment. Second, nonresidential construction is benefiting from accelerating data center development, a recovering warehouse sector and early signs of renewed momentum in domestic manufacturing. Third, light nonresidential demand, while typically more interest-rate-sensitive, has demonstrated notable resilience. While near-term residential demand remains subdued, moderating mortgage rates suggest a gradual path toward normalization. As product demand within these sectors collectively gain traction, Martin Marietta is well-positioned to capitalize on the positive opportunities with precision and discipline.”

Mr. Nye concluded, “Martin Marietta’s foundation for growth is more compelling than ever. Our aggregates-led platform, strengthened by a high-performing, complementary Specialties business and portfolio optimization efforts undertaken during SOAR 2025, provides durable earnings power and strategic flexibility. With an attractive geographic footprint, a clear trajectory for continued growth rooted in operational excellence and disciplined execution of a proven strategy, we remain confident in our ability to deliver industry-leading performance and generate enduring shareholder value.”

Third-Quarter Financial and Operating Results

(All financial and operating results are for continuing operations and comparisons are versus the prior-year third quarter, unless otherwise noted)

Building Materials Business

The Building Materials business reported revenues of $1.7 billion, a 10 percent increase. Gross profit increased 16 percent to $585 million.

Aggregates

Third-quarter aggregates shipments increased 8.0 percent to 57.9 million tons, reflecting a broad volume recovery across the Company’s footprint supported by more normalized weather throughout the Southeast and Texas. Pricing momentum continued, as average selling price (ASP) increased 8.0 percent to $23.24 per ton.

Aggregates gross profit increased 21 percent to $531 million and gross margin expanded 142 basis points to 36 percent, both all-time quarterly records, as strong pricing and increased shipments more than offset higher costs.

Other Building Materials

Other Building Materials revenues decreased 10 percent to $351 million while gross profit decreased 17 percent to $54 million. Gross profit declined due to reduced asphalt revenues, driven by lower shipments and pricing, as well as a decrease in paving revenues.

Specialties Business

Specialties delivered quarterly record revenues of $131 million and gross profit increased 20 percent to $34 million, a third-quarter record. These record results were achieved notwithstanding the $5 million headwind of selling acquired inventory after its markup to fair value as part of acquisition accounting. Performance was driven by strong organic performance, underscored by higher pricing, increased shipments across all product lines and effective cost management, as well as contributions from the Premier Magnesia, LLC (Premier), acquisition as of its July 25, 2025, closing date.

Portfolio Optimization

On July 25, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Premier, a privately-owned producer of magnesia-based products with operations in Nevada, North Carolina, Indiana and Pennsylvania.

On August 3, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Quikrete Holdings, Inc. (QUIKRETE) for the exchange of certain assets. Under the terms of the agreement, Martin Marietta would receive aggregates operations producing approximately 20 million tons annually in Virginia, Missouri, Kansas and Vancouver, British Columbia, and cash proceeds. In exchange, QUIKRETE would receive the Company’s Midlothian cement plant, related cement terminals and certain Texas ready-mixed concrete assets. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

Discontinued Operations

In connection with the QUIKRETE asset exchange, the Company’s Midlothian cement plant, related cement terminals and Texas ready mixed concrete plants were classified as assets held for sale as of September 30, 2025. Their financial results are reported as discontinued operations. Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income tax expense, totaled $53 million and $66 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

Cash Generation, Capital Allocation and Liquidity

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $1.2 billion compared with $773 million for the prior-year period.

Cash paid for property, plant and equipment additions for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $602 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company returned $597 million to shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases. As of September 30, 2025, 11.0 million shares remained under the current repurchase authorization.
