Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Why did earnings fall so sharply despite higher revenues and gross profit?

    The prior-year quarter included a $1.3 billion nonrecurring gain on the divestiture of the South Texas cement business. Excluding that gain, operating results improved, with gross profit up 23% and Adjusted EBITDA up 21%.

  2. What drove the aggregates performance?

    Shipments rose 6.6% to 39.0 million tons, largely from acquisitions, and average selling price rose 6.8% to $23.77 per ton. Organic shipments increased double digits in March as winter weather eased, and gross margin expanded 260 basis points to 30%.

  3. Did the company change its full-year 2025 outlook?

    No. The previously announced 2025 guidance, including revenues of $6,830 to $7,230 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $2,150 to $2,350 million, remains unchanged and does not assume any material tariff-related impacts. Management will revisit the outlook after the second quarter.
