Second Quarter Segment Results AggregatesContinued pricing discipline and operational execution drove earnings growth and margin expansion despite lower shipments and challenging weather conditions throughout the quarter.  Segment gross profit increased to $560 million ($9.44 per ton), and gross profit margin expanded to 33.9 percent.  Cash gross profit per ton increased 9 percent to $11.88 per ton.  On a trailing-twelve months basis, cash gross profit per ton was $11.25, increasing 13 percent over the prior year and marking a tenth consecutive quarter of double-digit compounding improvement in unit profitability.   Second quarter aggregates shipments decreased 1 percent as compared to the prior year due in part to significant rainfall in many key Southeastern markets throughout much of the quarter.  Price growth was widespread, and freight-adjusted selling prices increased 5 percent (8 percent on a mix-adjusted basis) as compared to the prior year.  In addition to the anticipated impact of recent acquisitions, second quarter reported price was also impacted by unfavorable legacy geographic mix due to the inclement weather in the Southeast.  Freight-adjusted unit cash cost of sales increased a modest 1 percent ($0.15 per ton) as a result of continued operating cost discipline despite challenging weather conditions.  Asphalt and ConcreteAsphalt segment gross profit was $57 million, and cash gross profit was $71 million.  Despite lower shipments, unit cash gross profit improved 5 percent, and gross profit margin remained a solid 15.5 percent.  Concrete segment gross profit was 8 million, and cash gross profit was $27 million.  Unit cash gross profit increased 30 percent, due mostly to the contribution of acquired operations.  Selling, Administrative and General (SAG)SAG expense in the second quarter was $144 million, or 6.9 percent of total revenues.  On a trailing-twelve months basis, SAG expense was $550 million, or 7.2 percent as a percentage of total revenues, 10 basis points lower than the prior year. Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital AllocationThe Company remains well positioned for continued growth with a strong liquidity position and balance sheet profile.  Capital expenditures for maintenance and growth projects were $102 million in the second quarter, and the Company returned $65 million to shareholders through dividends, a 6 percent increase versus the prior year. As of June 30th, 2025, the ratio of total debt to trailing-twelve months Adjusted EBITDA was 2.2 times (2.1 times on a net debt basis) and within the Company's target range of 2.0 to 2.5 times.  On a trailing-twelve months basis, return on average invested capital was 15.9 percent.  OutlookRegarding the Company's outlook, Mr. Hill said, "Our execution in the first half of the year along with an acceleration in new highway construction activity in our markets supports our full-year outlook to deliver $2.35 to $2.55 billion of Adjusted EBITDA.  As always, we will remain focused on factors within our control, including pricing and operating disciplines that drive earnings growth and cash generation."  Conference CallVulcan will host a conference call at 10:00 a.m. CT on July 31, 2025.  A webcast will be available via the Company's website at www.vulcanmaterials.com.  Investors and other interested parties may access the teleconference live by calling 800-343-4136, or 203-518-9843 if outside the U.S.  The conference ID is 9512587.  The conference call will be recorded and available for replay at the Company's website approximately two hours after the call.

our asphalt construction paving business. 3 Freight-adjusted revenues are Aggregates segment sales excluding freight & delivery revenues and    other revenues related to services, such as landfill tipping fees, that are derived from our aggregates business. 4 Freight-adjusted sales price is calculated as freight-adjusted revenues divided by aggregates unit shipments. 5 Sales price is calculated by dividing revenues generated from the shipment of product (excluding service revenues   generated by the segments) by total units of the product shipped. Appendix 1 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures Aggregates segment freight-adjusted revenues is not a Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measure and should not be considered as an alternative to metrics defined by GAAP. We present this metric as it is consistent with the basis by which we review our operating results. We believe that this presentation is consistent with our competitors and meaningful to our investors as it excludes revenues associated with freight & delivery, which are pass-through activities. It also excludes other revenues related to services, such as landfill tipping fees, that are derived from our aggregates business. Additionally, we use this metric as the basis for calculating the average sales price of our aggregates products. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below: Aggregates Segment Freight-Adjusted Revenues (in millions, except per unit data) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Trailing-Twelve Months Ended June 30 June 30 June 30 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024 Aggregates segment Segment sales $1,649.6 $1,613.5 $2,985.4 $2,904.9 $6,030.1 $5,946.3 Freight & delivery revenues 1 (310.9) (324.5) (575.2) (602.0) (1,193.3) (1,277.7) Other revenues (28.8) (26.4) (48.1) (48.9) (92.6) (108.3) Freight-adjusted revenues $1,310.1 $1,262.6 $2,362.1 $2,254.0 $4,744.3 $4,560.3 Unit shipments - tons 59.3 60.1 107.0 108.3 218.7 227.6 Freight-adjusted sales price $22.11 $21.00 $22.07 $20.82 $21.70 $20.04 1 At the segment level, freight & delivery revenues include intersegment freight & delivery (which are eliminated at the consolidated level) and freight to remote distribution sites. GAAP does not define "cash gross profit," and it should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP. We and the investment community use this metric to assess the operating performance of our business. Additionally, we present this metric as we believe that it closely correlates to long-term shareholder value. Cash gross profit adds back noncash charges for depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization to gross profit. Segment cash gross profit per unit is computed by dividing segment cash gross profit by units shipped. Segment cash cost of sales per unit is computed by subtracting segment cash gross profit per unit from segment freight-adjusted sales price.

We use this metric to assess the operating performance of our business and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting as we believe that it closely correlates to long-term shareholder value. We do not use this metric as a measure to allocate resources. We adjust EBITDA for certain items to provide a more consistent comparison of earnings performance from period to period. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below (numbers may not foot due to rounding): EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (in millions) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Trailing-Twelve Months Ended June 30 June 30 June 30 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net earnings attributable to Vulcan $320.9 $308.0 $449.8 $410.6 $951.2 $914.6 Income tax expense, including discontinued operations 90.6 93.7 124.0 122.1 250.7 311.1 Interest expense, net 59.2 40.2 118.9 79.3 209.9 163.3 Depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization 185.5 156.8 371.8 307.7 696.3 621.3 EBITDA $656.1 $598.7 $1,064.5 $919.7 $2,108.0 $2,010.2 Loss on discontinued operations $2.8 $2.7 $4.1 $5.0 $9.3 $11.8 Gain on sale of real estate and businesses, net 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 (36.7) (51.9) Loss on impairments 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 86.6 28.3 Charges associated with divested operations 0.0 1.0 0.0 1.0 16.7 4.2 Acquisition related charges 1 0.6 0.8 1.8 0.9 17.1 2.3 Adjusted EBITDA $659.5 $603.1 $1,070.4 $926.6 $2,201.1 $2,005.0 Total revenues $2,102.4 $2,014.4 $3,737.0 $3,560.1 $7,594.6 $7,580.2 Adjusted EBITDA margin 31.4 % 29.9 % 28.6 % 26.0 % 29.0 % 26.5 % 1 Represents charges associated with acquisitions requiring clearance under federal antitrust laws. Similar to our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, we present Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) attributable to Vulcan from continuing operations to provide a more consistent comparison of earnings performance from period to period. This metric is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below: Adjusted Diluted EPS Attributable to Vulcan from Continuing Operations (Adjusted Diluted EPS) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Trailing-Twelve Months Ended June 30 June 30 June 30 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024 Net earnings attributable to Vulcan $2.42 $2.31 $3.38 $3.08 $7.15 $6.86 Items included in Adjusted EBITDA above, net of tax 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.04 0.67 (0.03) NOL carryforward valuation allowance 0.01 0.01 0.03 0.02 0.02 0.07 Adjusted diluted EPS attributable to Vulcan from continuing operations $2.45 $2.35 $3.45 $3.14 $7.84 $6.90 Projected Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below: 2025 Projected Adjusted EBITDA (in millions) Mid-point Net earnings attributable to Vulcan $1,130 Income tax expense, including discontinued operations 330 Interest expense, net of interest income 230 Depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization 750 Projected EBITDA $2,440 Items included in Adjusted EBITDA $10 Projected Adjusted EBITDA $2,450 Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures, other than the reconciliation of Projected Adjusted EBITDA as noted above. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results. Appendix 3 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures (Continued) Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measure and should not be considered as an alternative to metrics defined by GAAP. We, the investment community and credit rating agencies use this metric to assess our leverage. Net debt subtracts cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash from total debt. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below: Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (in millions) June 30 2025 2024 Debt Current maturities of long-term debt $0.5 $0.5 Short-term debt 550.0 95.0 Long-term debt 4,359.2 3,331.7 Total debt $4,909.7 $3,427.2 Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (351.0) (111.6) Net debt $4,558.7 $3,315.6 Trailing-Twelve Months (TTM) Adjusted EBITDA $2,201.1 $2,005.0 Total debt to TTM Adjusted EBITDA  2.2x  1.7x Net debt to TTM Adjusted EBITDA  2.1x  1.7x We define "Return on Invested Capital" (ROIC) as Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing-twelve months divided by average invested capital (as illustrated below) during the trailing 5-quarters. Our calculation of ROIC is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because we calculate ROIC using the non-GAAP metric EBITDA. We believe that our ROIC metric is meaningful because it helps investors assess how effectively we are deploying our assets. Although ROIC is a standard financial metric, numerous methods exist for calculating a company's ROIC. As a result, the method we use to calculate our ROIC may differ from the methods used by other companies. This metric is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below (numbers may not foot due to rounding): Return on Invested Capital (dollars in millions) Trailing-Twelve Months Ended June 30 2025 2024 Adjusted EBITDA $2,201.1 $2,005.0 Average invested capital  Property, plant & equipment, net $7,600.8 $6,212.1  Goodwill 3,684.3 3,564.3  Other intangible assets 1,591.5 1,498.8  Fixed and intangible assets $12,876.6 $11,275.2  Current assets $2,124.9 $2,230.8  Cash and cash equivalents (338.1) (374.8)  Current tax (41.7) (38.2)  Adjusted current assets 1,745.1 1,817.8  Current liabilities (989.8) (789.6)  Current maturities of long-term debt 80.5 0.5  Short-term debt 129.0 19.0  Adjusted current liabilities (780.3) (770.1)  Adjusted net working capital $964.8 $1,047.7 Average invested capital $13,841.4 $12,322.9 Return on invested capital 15.9 % 16.3 % SOURCE Vulcan Materials Company WANT YOUR COMPANY'S NEWS FEATURED ON PRNEWSWIRE.COM? 440k+ Newsrooms & Influencers 9k+ Digital Media Outlets 270k+ Journalists Opted In
