DALLAS -- (Business Wire)

Eagle Materials Inc. (NYSE: EXP) today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 ended December 31, 2025. Notable items for the quarter are highlighted below (unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are with the prior year’s fiscal third quarter).

Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Highlights

• Revenue of $556.0 million
• Net Earnings of $102.9 million
• Net Earnings per share of $3.22
• Adjusted EBITDA of $190.1 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by excluding non-routine items and certain non-cash expenses in the manner described in Attachment 6
• Repurchased approximately 648,000 shares of Eagle’s common stock for $142.6 million

Commenting on the third quarter results, Michael Haack, President and CEO, said, “Despite a mixed construction environment, Eagle’s portfolio of businesses continued to perform well during the quarter, generating revenue of $556 million, EPS of $3.22 and gross margins of 28.9%. While the residential construction market was challenged, federal, state, and local spending on public infrastructure projects and private non-residential construction remained elevated, supporting strong demand for our Heavy construction products. Our Cement sales volume was up 9% and our organic Aggregates sales volume increased 34%.”

Mr. Haack continued, “During the quarter, we strengthened our financial position, issuing $750 million of 10-year senior notes with an interest rate of 5.00%, which extended our total debt maturity schedule and increased committed liquidity. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay our bank credit facility. We also significantly increased our distribution of cash to shareholders, returning nearly $150 million through our quarterly cash dividend and the repurchase of approximately 648,000 shares of our common stock. We ended the quarter with debt of $1.8 billion, net debt of $1.4 billion, and a net leverage ratio (net debt to Adjusted EBITDA) of 1.8x, giving us substantial financial flexibility that supports disciplined, value-enhancing capital allocation and long-term growth.” (Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from debt as described in Attachment 6.)

Mr. Haack concluded, “Our low-cost operations continue to generate strong cashflow that we are investing to advance our operational efficiency and our low-cost position. We continued to make good progress this quarter on our projects to modernize our Laramie, Wyoming Cement plant and our Duke, Oklahoma Gypsum Wallboard plant. These growth investments will lower each plant’s cost structure, improve their reliability, and expand their production capabilities, which will strengthen our already low-cost competitive position. We are highly confident that our strong market position, advantaged capital structure, and rigorous operating discipline position us for continued success over the long term.”

Segment Financial Results

Heavy Materials: Cement, Concrete and Aggregates

Revenue in the Heavy Materials sector, which includes Cement, Concrete and Aggregates, as well as Joint Venture and intersegment Cement revenue, was up 11% to $390.2 million. Heavy Materials operating earnings increased by 9% to $92.7 million. Both increases resulted from higher Cement and Aggregates sales volume and the contribution from the recently acquired aggregates business in Western Pennsylvania.

Cement revenue for the quarter, including Joint Venture and intersegment revenue, was up 9% to $321.2 million, and operating earnings were up 5% to $91.3 million. These increases reflect higher Cement sales volume, partially offset by a 1% decline in Cement net sales prices. Cement sales volume increased 9% to 1.9 million tons.

Concrete and Aggregates revenue was up 22% to $69.0 million, and operating earnings increased to $1.4 million, reflecting higher Aggregates sales volume, increased Concrete and Aggregates pricing, and $7.6 million of revenue contribution from the recently acquired aggregates business. Excluding the recently acquired business, Aggregates revenue increased 9%, and sales volume was up 34%.

Light Materials: Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard

Revenue in the Light Materials sector, which includes Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard, decreased 16% to $203.5 million, reflecting lower Wallboard and Paperboard sales volume and prices. Gypsum Wallboard sales volume was down 14% to 637 million square feet (MMSF), and the average Gypsum Wallboard net sales price decreased 5% to $225.19 per MSF.

Paperboard sales volume for the quarter was down 10% to 81,000 tons. The average Paperboard net sales price was $588.77 per ton, down 6%, consistent with the pricing provisions in our long-term sales agreements that factor in changes to input costs.

Operating earnings in the sector were $72.6 million, a decrease of 25%, reflecting lower Wallboard and Paperboard sales volume and pricing.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses increased by approximately 15% compared with the prior year. The increase was primarily related to increases in information technology costs of $1.2 million for technology upgrades, and $1.4 million of costs associated with business-development and professional services.

Details of Financial Results

We conduct one of our cement plant operations through a 50/50 joint venture, Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP (the Joint Venture). We use the equity method of accounting for our 50% interest in the Joint Venture. For segment reporting purposes only, we proportionately consolidate our 50% share of the Joint Venture’s revenue and operating earnings, which is consistent with the way management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

In addition, for segment reporting purposes, we report intersegment revenue as part of a segment’s total revenue. Intersegment sales are eliminated on the consolidated income statement. Refer to Attachment 3 for a reconciliation of these amounts.
