Company Provides 2026 Guidance

RALEIGH, N.C., Feb. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (NYSE: MLM) (“Martin Marietta” or the “Company”), a leading national supplier of aggregates and heavy building materials, today reported results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

Ward Nye, Chair, President and CEO of Martin Marietta, stated, “2025 was another year of strong growth for Martin Marietta. Our aggregates business once again delivered record profitability and meaningful margin expansion, reflecting strong strategic and commercial discipline and a consistent focus on what we can control. Our highly complementary Specialties business also achieved record revenues and gross profit, underscoring its differentiated value and strategic importance within our portfolio. Notably, we delivered these results despite single-family housing and nonresidential square footage starts, the two macro indicators most highly correlated with aggregates demand, remaining approximately 20% below their post-COVID peaks. Importantly, our heritage operations recorded their safest year ever, as measured by total reportable incidents, reinforcing that world-class safety remains the foundation of our long-term financial strength.

“At the same time, we successfully executed the priorities of our five-year Strategic Operating Analysis and Review (SOAR) 2025 plan, launched SOAR 2030 and advanced portfolio optimization initiatives to enhance the durability and quality of the enterprise, all while maintaining a strong balance sheet to support continued acquisitive growth. Building on this strong foundation, we remain confident in the long-term demand drivers of our business. Our 2026 shipment guidance of low single-digit improvement reflects a balanced macro environment, in which we expect robust infrastructure investment and accelerating momentum in data centers and energy to offset continued softness in private nonresidential and residential construction.”

Mr. Nye concluded, “The breadth and quality of our coast-to-coast footprint provides a powerful platform for the years ahead. As we advance the opportunities outlined in SOAR 2030, we enter 2026 in our most resilient position to date. Our dedicated teams remain focused on converting these advantages into tangible results that drive sustained growth and compelling, long-term value for our shareholders.”

Fourth-Quarter Financial and Operating Results

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

Building Materials Business

The Building Materials business achieved revenues of $1.4 billion and gross profit of $443 million, both fourth-quarter records.

Aggregates

Fourth-quarter aggregates shipments increased 2.0 percent to 48.9 million tons, reflecting strong infrastructure and nonresidential construction activity, favorable weather across the Company’s footprint, and contributions from acquisitions. Average selling price (ASP) increased 5.3 percent to $23.11 per ton.

Aggregates gross profit increased 11 percent to a fourth-quarter record of $420 million, with strong pricing and increased shipments more than offsetting higher costs. Aggregates gross profit per ton increased 9 percent to $8.59 and gross margin expanded 93 basis points to 34 percent, both fourth-quarter records.

Other Building Materials

Other Building Materials revenues decreased 6 percent to $248 million and gross profit declined 18 percent to $23 million, primarily driven by the impact of the divestiture of the California paving operations in April 2025.

Specialties Business

Specialties delivered revenues of $133 million and gross profit of $29 million, both fourth-quarter records, reflecting a full-quarter of contributions from Premier Magnesia, LLC, and organic pricing gains.

Portfolio Optimization

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 Texas ready-mixed concrete assets. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

On December 19, 2025, the Company acquired aggregates and FOB asphalt assets in Minnesota from CRH. These complementary bolt-on assets expand the Company’s existing operations in the Twin Cities and St. Cloud markets and include approximately 40 million tons of aggregate reserves; the FOB asphalt assets operate under a materials-only model, with customers responsible for placement and construction activities.

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 December 31, 2025. Their financial results are reported as discontinued operations. Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income tax expense, totaled $46 million and $46 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Cash Generation, Capital Allocation and Liquidity

For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash provided by operating activities increased 22 percent to a record $1.79 billion compared with $1.46 billion for the prior year.

Cash paid for property, plant and equipment additions for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $807 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company returned $647 million to shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchases. As of December 31, 2025, 11.0 million shares remained under the current repurchase authorization.

The Company had $67 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and $1.17 billion of unused borrowing capacity on its existing credit facilities as of December 31, 2025.

delays or difficulties in securing timely land use approvals or environmental permits amid changing regulatory expectations; increasing legal actions or public pressure related to environmental impact, emissions, or land use could result in reputational harm or financial liability; failure to meet evolving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards or investor benchmarks may affect access to capital or shareholder confidence; changes in external ESG ratings or methodologies could affect investor sentiment or index inclusion; increasing competition for water access or stricter water usage regulations could impact production, especially in drought-prone regions; outcomes of environmental or land-use proceedings, or increased costs associated with regulatory obligations, including site reclamation;

new or revised accounting rules that could impact financial reporting, asset valuations, or covenant compliance; challenges in implementing new technologies or automation systems could lead to inefficiencies, cost overruns, or operational disruptions; improper use or reliance on predictive analytics or AI-driven decision-making could result in flawed forecasting, compliance issues, or reputational damage; cybersecurity risks; downward pressure on the Company’s common stock price affecting goodwill impairment evaluations; potential credit rating downgrades to non-investment grade; and other risk factors listed from time to time in the Company’s SEC filings.
