Report on payments to governments for the year ended December 31, 2023

This report provides a consolidated overview of the payments to governments made by Vulcan Materials Company (the “Company,” “Vulcan,” “we,” “our”) and our consolidated subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2023.

All payments are reported in U.S. dollars. Payments that were made in currencies other than in U.S. dollars have been converted to U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of December 31, 2023.

Our business segments

Our business segments are organized around our principal product lines: aggregates, asphalt mix and ready-mixed concrete. The vast majority of our activities are domestic. We sell a relatively small amount of construction aggregates outside the United States. We have three business segments:

•Aggregates Segment: As the largest U.S. supplier of construction aggregates, we have mining properties across the U.S. and in the Bahamas, Canada, Honduras, Mexico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. For additional information regarding our Mexican operations, see the NAFTA Arbitration section in the Note titled "Commitments and Contingencies" to the condensed consolidated financial statements in our most recent periodic report. Our primary focus is serving states and metropolitan markets in the U.S. that are expected to experience the most significant growth in population, households and employment. These three demographic factors are significant drivers of demand for aggregates. Aggregates provide the basic material for the infrastructure needed to maintain and expand the U.S. economy. Instruction 13 to Item 2.01 of Form SD currently provides that "minerals," as used in Item 2.01, includes any material for which an issuer with mining operations would provide disclosure under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K or any successor requirements or policies. Applying this Instruction, our Aggregates segment is involved in the commercial development of minerals (crushed stone, sand and gravel).

•Asphalt Segment: While aggregates is our focus and primary business, we produce and sell aggregates-intensive asphalt mix products in certain domestic markets. Aggregates are a major component in asphalt mix, comprising approximately 95% by weight of this product. We meet the aggregates requirements for our Asphalt segment primarily through our Aggregates segment. Our Asphalt segment is not involved in the commercial development of minerals.

•Concrete Segment: While aggregates is our focus and primary business, we produce and sell aggregates-intensive ready-mixed concrete products in certain domestic markets. Aggregates are a major component in ready-mixed concrete, comprising approximately 80% by weight of this product. We meet the aggregates requirements for our Concrete segment primarily through our Aggregates segment. Our Concrete segment is not involved in the commercial development of minerals.

Our projects

This report discloses the payments made by us to governments for the commercial development of minerals (aggregates), which includes the exploration, extraction, processing, and export of such minerals, or the acquisition of a license for any such activity by our Aggregates segment.

As of December 31, 2023, we had 350 mining properties of which we were actively mining 236 properties, developing 80 properties and exploring the development of the remaining 34 properties. The type of mineral being commercially developed at all of our mining properties is similar (crushed stone, sand and gravel). Likewise, all of our mining operations utilize similar methods of extraction (open pit mining is utilized at all non-domestic mining properties and the vast majority of our domestic mining properties, with the few remaining domestic properties utilizing underground mining). Consequently, we have disclosed payments for mining properties as separate projects segregated by major subnational political jurisdiction where the commercial development of the resource is taking place.

•United States: extraction of crushed stone, sand and gravel primarily through open pit mining in 23 states and Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We consider these 342 mining properties as one project.

•Freeport, Bahamas: extraction of crushed stone through open pit mining. We consider this mining property as one project.

•British Columbia, Canada: extraction of crushed stone, sand and gravel through open pit mining. We consider these 5 mining properties as one project.

•Puerto Cortes, Honduras: extraction of crushed stone through open pit mining. We consider this mining property as one project.

•Quintana Roo, Mexico: extraction of crushed stone through open pit mining. We consider this mining property as one project.

As of December 31, 2023, we had exploration stage mining properties in eleven states and Canada. Pursuant to Item 2.01(b)(1) of Form SD, we are delaying disclosing payment information related to exploratory activities conducted at these mining properties until our Form SD submitted for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, which is the fiscal year immediately following the fiscal year in which payments were made.
