Positive
Record Revenue Increase: Record revenue of $624 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, reflecting a year-over-year increase driven by higher cement and wallboard sales prices.
Cash Flow Improvement: Operating cash flow increased by 35% to $233 million, demonstrating strong working capital management.
Heavy Materials Earnings Growth: The heavy materials segment achieved a 5% increase in operating earnings to $98 million, supported by higher wallboard and recycled paperboard sales volumes.
Share Repurchase and Returns: The company repurchased 253,000 shares of common stock for $61 million, returning a total of $69 million to shareholders during the quarter.
Increased Capital Spending: Capital spending increased to $66 million, reflecting ongoing investments in modernization and expansion projects.
Negative
Volume Decline in Heavy Side: Our heavy side of the business was down 5% on a volume metric basis, while our concrete and aggregates locations had a larger volume impact during this quarter across our network, but most dramatically in two locations, Denver and Kansas City.
Demand Reduction Impact: Denver was impacted from reduced demand across the Board, but more dramatically impacted by our aggregate-supplied oil field services customers.
Cost Control and Customer Acquisition: This demand has not recovered, so the team has been diligently working on cost control measures and securing new customers.
Contract Negotiation Impact: In Kansas City, our concrete union operation has been in a work stoppage situation as we were negotiating the current contract. This has been resolved but impacted our volumes sold during the quarter.
Operating Earnings Decline: Our operating earnings were down 9%, primarily because of the lower cement sales volume in addition to higher maintenance costs.
