Key Q&A

Q:Can you walk through the factors driving the guidance for 2026, particularly regarding infrastructure and private non-residential expectations compared to three months ago?

A:Management stated that there are no major changes in expectations for infrastructure and private non-residential sectors, which remain strong. About 50% of IIJA funds have been spent, with the rest expected over the next three years. They also highlighted positive trends in data centers, logistics infrastructure, health, and warehousing. However, residential recovery is now expected in 2027 due to inflationary pressures, high oil prices, and mortgage rates around 6%, which impact housing affordability.

Q:What makes the Ohio and Pennsylvania markets attractive compared to existing markets?

A:Management noted familiarity with these markets through their Fly Ash business and highlighted growth opportunities due to manufacturing reshoring. The Keystone plant is well-positioned to serve these markets and the Washington, D.C. area, offering logistics synergies.

Q:What caused the sequential decline in cement pricing, and what are the announced price increases for 2026?

A:The decline was attributed to mix pressures, including geography, packaging, and delivery methods. Announced price increases for 2026 include $12 per ton for cement, $10 per cubic yard for ready-mix concrete, and $3 for aggregates finished goods. These increases were initially planned for January but largely pushed to April.

Q:What share of cost of sales is represented by fuel, and how is the company addressing potential changes in fuel costs?

A:Fuel represents about 8% of the cost of goods sold. The company has invested in alternative fuels and multi-fuel sourcing capabilities at its cement plants. They also have fuel surcharge mechanisms for ready-mix concrete and are implementing cost reduction initiatives, such as dual burners and increased use of alternative fuels.

Q:How should we think about EBITDA margin expansion and seasonality in 2026?

A:Management expects modest EBITDA margin expansion driven by participation in high-value infrastructure projects, operational excellence initiatives, and digital transformation. These include predictive maintenance tools, digital logistics technology, and cost reduction measures, which improve reliability, production rates, and logistics efficiency.

Q:What is driving the increase in domestic cement capacity, and how much growth is expected?

A:The increase is driven by investments in grinding capacity and reliability improvements at facilities like Pennsuco. Specific growth figures were not provided.

Q:What are the opportunities for aggregate capacity growth in 2026, and what innovative mining approaches are being implemented?

A:Aggregate capacity is expected to grow in 2026, though not at the same levels as 2025. Investments in innovative mining approaches will drive the next wave of capacity growth, likely in the second half of 2027.

Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses

A:Management avoided providing specific growth figures for domestic cement capacity and aggregate capacity growth in 2026. Additionally, their response to the question about innovative mining approaches lacked detail.
