MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS, INC. REPORTS FIRST-QUARTER RESULTS

 

 

Results Predictable and In Line with Management’s Expectations

Reaffirm Guidance Based on Strong Fundamentals

 

 

Aggregates Pricing Up 5.7%

Specialty Products Posts Quarterly Records for Sales and Gross Profit

RALEIGH, North Carolina (April 30, 2013) – Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (NYSE:MLM) today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Ward Nye, President and CEO of Martin Marietta Materials, stated: “Due to a more normal winter weather pattern, and in fact, more severe and extended in some parts of the country, aggregates shipments declined 8.8% compared with the prior-year quarter. The prior year benefitted from an unseasonably warm winter, accelerating the start of construction projects in many of our markets into the first quarter. The decline in aggregates volumes directly correlated to the gross profit reduction. Notably, however, our Aggregates business continues to experience pricing growth in each reportable segment and in each product line. This trend bodes well for the future performance of this business as shipments pick up during the remainder of the year. Our Specialty Products business benefitted from the new lime kiln completed in the fourth quarter of 2012 and established new records for net sales and gross profit.

“From a macroeconomic view, we see positive indicators, including upward trends in housing starts, construction employment, and highway obligations. All of these factors should result in increased construction activity during the remainder of the year, and we are well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities and enhance value for our shareholders and, in fact, reaffirm our guidance for the full year.”

Notable Items (all comparisons, unless noted, are with the prior-year quarter)

 

   

Loss per diluted share of $0.61 compared with loss of $0.81 (prior-year quarter includes a $0.34 per diluted share charge for business development expenses)

 

   

Consolidated net sales of $345.2 million compared with $350.5 million

 

   

Aggregates product line pricing up 5.7%; aggregates product line volume down 8.8%; aggregates product line production cost per ton up slightly

Consolidated gross profit of $12.6 million, a decline of $11.2 million primarily related to the decline in aggregates product line shipments

 

   

Specialty Products record net sales of $55.2 million and record first-quarter gross profit of $19.6 million

 

   

Consolidated selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses of $37.6 million, up 150 basis points as a percentage of net sales

 

   

Consolidated loss from operations of $23.6 million compared with loss of $35.3 million (prior-year quarter includes $25.9 million of business development expenses)

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY (ALL COMPARISONS, UNLESS NOTED, ARE WITH THE PRIOR-YEAR QUARTER)

Nye continued, “Aggregates product line pricing improved 5.7%. Importantly, pricing growth was widespread as evidenced by increases in nearly all of our geographic markets. The West Group achieved the strongest growth, an 8.7% increase, reflecting price increases implemented over the past year and the favorable impact of product and geographic mix. The Mid-America and Southeast Groups reported increases of 4.1% and 5.8%, respectively, in the average selling prices for the aggregates product line.

“The improving housing market, an important trend for the economy generally and the aggregates industry specifically, is leading the current economic recovery. Housing starts and completions for the trailing twelve months are up approximately 47% and 36%, respectively, over the comparable period for the prior year. For the quarter, the residential end-use market accounted for 14% of our aggregates product line shipments, which is in line with our historical average. Despite the overall reduction in quarterly aggregates shipments, volumes to the residential market increased 1%.

“The infrastructure market continues to represent the largest end use for the aggregates product line and comprised 42% of volumes for the quarter. We are encouraged that highway obligations for fiscal 2013 through March were at the highest level since 2010 and up 28% over the prior-year period. This increase reflects funding stability provided by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act, or MAP-21, as well as the Executive Branch’s action last summer, which freed up $400 million of unspent earmarks from fiscal years 2003 through 2006. Additionally, February marked the first month in which highway contract awards increased over the prior-year month in almost two years. We continue to monitor new applications for funding under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act, or TIFIA. While this program has the ability to leverage up to $50 billion in financing for transportation projects, administrative delays will likely push initial awards to later in 2013 than the U.S. Department of Transportation originally anticipated. Long term, we anticipate growth in the infrastructure market. While it is not possible to determine any potential impact from the Federal sequester that went into effect in March, it appears that transportation spending is mostly exempt from spending cuts. Still, there may be a short-term setback in this end use.

“The nonresidential market is our second largest end use and accounted for 33% of aggregates product line shipments for the quarter. While nonresidential volumes were down 8%, we continue to benefit from strong shipments to the energy sector. Finally, the ChemRock/Rail end use was down 12%, which primarily resulted from weather and a decline in coal traffic on the railroads in the western United States.

“For the quarter, we reduced aggregates product line production slightly, and our production cost per ton increased less than 1%. Consolidated gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) was 3.6% for 2013 versus 6.8% for 2012. The reduction reflects lower aggregates product line shipments, which reduced the operating leverage of the Aggregates business.

“SG&A expenses were 10.9% of net sales, a 150-basis-point increase compared with the prior-year quarter. On an absolute basis, SG&A expenses increased $4.6 million, primarily related to costs related to our planned information systems upgrade.

“In keeping with our objective of having a lean and efficient management structure, we reorganized the groups within our Aggregates business effective January 1, 2013. Our Southeast Group remains unchanged. However, our Mid-America Group now includes our Aggregates business operations in Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia (which were formerly reported in our Mideast Group), along with operations in Iowa, Minnesota, eastern Nebraska, North Dakota, and Washington, (which were formerly reported in our West Group). With the exception of operations now reported in the Mid-America Group, there were no other changes to the West Group.

“Our Specialty Products business continues to make significant contributions to our operating results. For the quarter, net sales of $55.2 million represented a new quarterly record and gross profit of $19.6 million established a new first-quarter record. The 6.7% increase in net sales is attributable to the new kiln that became operational during the fourth quarter of 2012. This was partially offset by the loss of higher-margin sales from a customer that filed for bankruptcy. Earnings from operations were $17.1 million compared with $18.2 million. Earnings for the prior-year quarter include the favorable impact of a $1.2 million settlement.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

“Cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter was $18.6 million in 2013 compared with cash used for operating activities of $4.3 million in 2012. The improvement is attributable to a reduction in accounts receivable in 2013 and the impact of business development expenses in 2012.

“During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we invested $22 million of capital into our business.

“At March 31, 2013, our ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, as defined, for the trailing twelve months was 3.22 times, in compliance with our covenant. The current maximum ratio of 3.75 times steps back to 3.50 times at September 30, 2013.

“Earlier this month, we established a new one-year $150 million trade receivable securitization facility, which replaced a $100 million facility that expired by its terms. The new credit facility provides for borrowings based on our trade receivables balance. Borrowings bear interest at one-month LIBOR plus 60 basis points.

2013 OUTLOOK

“As noted above, we expect there to be significantly stronger new construction activity across the country this year, and we are well positioned to benefit. We are encouraged by various positive trends in our business and markets, especially as MAP-21 and other programs are implemented. For the full year, we currently expect shipments to the infrastructure end-use market to increase in the mid-single digits, driven by the impact of MAP-21, TIFIA and state-sponsored programs. We anticipate the nonresidential end-use market to increase in the high-single digits given that the Architecture Billings Index, or ABI, a leading economic indicator for nonresidential construction spending activity, is reflecting the strongest growth in billings at architecture firms since the end of 2007. Residential construction is experiencing a level of growth not seen since late 2005 with seasonally adjusted starts ahead of any period since 2008. We believe this trend in housing starts will continue and our residential end-use market will experience double-digit volume growth. Finally, we expect our ChemRock/Rail end-use market to be flat compared with 2012. Cumulatively, we anticipate aggregates product line shipments will increase 4% to 6%. As a reminder, we experienced moderate weather in the first five months of 2012, which allowed an earlier-than-normal start to the construction season in many of our markets. We experienced a different quarterly pattern of aggregates shipments and earnings in 2012 and comparisons with prior-year periods may continue to be affected in subsequent quarters of 2013.

“We currently expect that aggregates product line pricing will increase 2% to 4%. A variety of factors beyond our direct control may continue to exert pressure on our volumes, and our forecasted pricing increase is not expected to be uniform across the company.

“We expect our vertically integrated businesses to generate between $350 million and $375 million of net sales and $20 million to $22 million of gross profit.

“Increased production should lead to a slight reduction in aggregates product line direct production costs per ton compared with 2012. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales are expected to decline slightly.

“Net sales for the Specialty Products segment should be between $220 million and $230 million, generating $81 million to $85 million of gross profit. Steel utilization and natural gas prices are two key factors for this segment.

“Interest expense is expected to remain relatively flat. Our effective tax rate is expected to approximate 26%, excluding discrete events. Capital expenditures are forecast at $155 million.”

RISKS TO OUTLOOK

The 2013 outlook includes management’s assessment of the likelihood of certain risk factors that will affect performance. The most significant risk to the Corporation’s performance will be the United States economy and its impact on construction activity. While both MAP-21 and TIFIA credit assistance are excluded from the federal budget sequester and the U.S. debt ceiling limit, the ultimate resolution of these issues may have a significant impact on the economy and, consequently, construction activity. We anticipate the sequester’s impact becoming more apparent during the spring and summer months. Other risks related to the Corporation’s future performance include, but are not limited to, both price and volume and include a recurrence of widespread decline in aggregates volume negatively affecting aggregates price; the termination, capping and/or reduction of the federal and/or state gasoline tax(es) or other revenue related to infrastructure construction; a significant change in the funding patterns for traditional federal, state and/or local infrastructure projects; a reduction in defense spending, and the subsequent impact on construction activity on or near military bases, particularly if sequestration of budget programs occurs; a decline in nonresidential construction, a decline in energy-related drilling activity resulting from certain regulatory or economic factors, a slowdown in the residential construction recovery, or some combination thereof; and a continued reduction in ChemRock/Rail shipments resulting from declining coal traffic on the railroads. Further, increased highway construction funding pressures resulting from either federal or state issues can affect profitability. Currently, nearly all states have general fund budget issues driven by lower tax revenues. If these negatively affect transportation budgets more than in the past, construction spending could be reduced. North Carolina, a state that disproportionately affects the Corporation’s revenue and profitability, is among the states experiencing these fiscal pressures, although recent statistics indicate that transportation budgets and tax revenues are increasing. The Specialty Products business essentially runs at capacity; therefore any unplanned changes in costs or realignment of customers introduce volatility to the earnings of this segment.

The Corporation’s principal business serves customers in aggregates-related construction markets. This concentration could increase the risk of potential losses on customer receivables; however, payment bonds normally posted on public projects, together with lien rights on private projects, help to mitigate the risk of uncollectible receivables. The level of aggregates demand in the Corporation’s end-use markets, production levels and the management of production costs will affect the operating leverage of the Aggregates business and, therefore, profitability. Production costs in the Aggregates business are also sensitive to energy prices, both directly and indirectly. Diesel fuel and other consumables change production costs directly through consumption or indirectly by increased energy-related input costs, such as, steel, explosives, tires and conveyor belts. Fluctuating diesel fuel pricing also affects transportation costs, primarily through fuel surcharges in the Corporation’s long-haul distribution network. The Specialty Products business is sensitive to changes in domestic steel capacity utilization and the absolute price and fluctuations in the cost of natural gas. However, due to recent technology developments allowing the harvesting of abundant natural gas supplies in the U.S., natural gas prices have stabilized.

Transportation in the Corporation’s long-haul network, particularly rail cars and locomotive power to move trains, affects our ability to efficiently transport material into certain markets, most notably Texas, Florida and the Gulf Coast. The availability of trucks and drivers to transport our product, particularly in markets experiencing increased demand due to energy sector activity, is also a risk. The Aggregates business is also subject to weather-related risks that can significantly affect production schedules and profitability. The first and fourth quarters are most adversely affected by winter weather, and the operations in the Denver, Colorado, market increase the Corporation’s exposure to winter weather. Hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf Coast generally is most active during the third and fourth quarters.

Risks to the outlook include shipment declines as a result of economic events beyond the Corporation’s control. In addition to the impact on nonresidential and residential construction, the Corporation is exposed to risk in its estimated outlook from credit markets and the availability of and interest cost related to its debt.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Dollars in millions)

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales and operating margin as a percentage of net sales represent non-GAAP measures. The Corporation presents these ratios calculated based on net sales, as it is consistent with the basis by which management reviews the Corporation’s operating results. Further, management believes it is consistent with the basis by which investors analyze the Corporation’s operating results, given that freight and delivery revenues and costs represent pass-throughs and have no profit markup. Gross margin and operating margin calculated as percentages of total revenues represent the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The following tables present the calculations of gross margin and operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 2012, in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the ratios as percentages of total revenues to percentages of net sales:
