Factors influencing Tango valuation relative to U.S. building materials companies Business mix Tango's product mix is relatively more cyclical than most other U.S. industry players "Under-exposure" to aggregates compared with VMX and MLM Geographic mix Lower long-term growth prospects in Tango's key markets relative to overall growth trends based on population and cement consumption growth as well as SAFETEA-LU allocations Liquidity Parent company overhang, end-game for Tango is to be eventually bought-out by parent Tango perceived as "only a U.S. subsidiary of a large European company" Expectation of future consolidation in the U.S Takeover expectations of other U.S. industry players contribute to their trading premiums (both vertical integration and further consolidation in the aggregates industry) Stronger interest from international players in expanding their U.S. presence Fewer opportunities of scale Earnings growth Historical track record of Tango's ability to meet earnings expectations is lower than other U.S. building materials companies Inconsistent earnings performance has contributed to Tango's relatively lower shareholder returns Analyst coverage Independent equity research coverage on Tango has decreased over time Research reports focusing on Foxtrot often evaluate Tango's performance as a subsidiary 7 P R O J E C T R A C I N E


 

Recent earnings performance of U.S. Building Materials stocks Historical and projected EPS growth Strong stock price appreciation for building materials companies driven by Solid growth in construction demand, in all three segments (growth rates through October) ~11% in residential construction ~5% in non-residential construction ~8% in public works activity Driven by ~12% rise in highway and street construction Optimistic outlook for 2006 New highway contract awards have risen more than 6% through October, setting the stage for another strong year in 2006 Expected 5-6% increase in highway construction in 2006. Non-residential construction could see 7-10% spending increase in 2006 While higher interest rates are expected to curtail housing activity, similar expectations in recent years have proven conservative Industry commentary 1 Martin Marietta 2005 financials are estimates 2 Not meaningful as 2004 and 2005 EPS estimates include earnings from the steel division 8 P R O J E C T R A C I N E
