Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The Company has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods. The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for other interim periods or the full year. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These

consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future events. As future events and their effects cannot be fully determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

Restricted Cash

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had restricted cash of $2 million and $10 million, respectively. The 2024 amount is designated to collateralize certain letters of credit, while the 2023 amount was invested in an account designated for the purchase of like-kind exchange replacement assets under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and related IRS procedures (Section 1031). The Company was restricted from utilizing the 2023 cash for purposes other than the purchase of qualified assets for 180 days from receipt of the proceeds from the sale of the exchanged property. Any unused restricted cash at the end of the 180 days is transferred to unrestricted accounts of the Company and used for general corporate purposes.

The statements of cash flows reflect cash flow changes and balances for cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on an aggregated basis. The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported on the consolidated balance sheets to the aggregated amounts presented on the consolidated statements of cash flows:

Earnings per Common Share

The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share is net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta. The denominator for basic earnings per common share is the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed assuming that the weighted-average number of common shares is increased by the conversion, using the treasury stock method, of awards to be issued to employees and nonemployee members of the Company’s Board of Directors under certain stock-based compensation arrangements if the conversion is dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the diluted per-share computations reflect the number of common shares outstanding including the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

The following table reconciles the denominator for basic and diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2024		2023
	(In Millions)
Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding		61.8		62.1
Effect of dilutive employee and director awards		0.2		0.1
Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding		62.0		62.2

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, it requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. This ASU requires companies to apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The ASU will impact the Company's disclosures, but will have no impacts to its results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires public entities to disclose, on annual basis, a tabular tax rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts with specific categories, broken out into specified categories with certain reconciling items further broken out by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. Additionally, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, local, and foreign taxes and by individual jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. The ASU also requires additional qualitative disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The ASU will impact the Company's income tax disclosures, but not its results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the Company's financial statements of the prior year to conform to the current-year presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s previously reported results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
