This earnings release contains forward-looking statements under the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties and are based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, but which may differ materially from actual results. These statements reflect the Company’s current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements because they do not relate only to historical or current facts and may use words such as “guidance,” “anticipate,” “may,” “expect,” "could," “should,” “believe,” "estimate," "forecast," "intend," "outlook," "plan," "project," "schedule," “will,” and other words of similar meaning in connection with future events or future performance. Any or all of the Company’s forward-looking statements herein and in other publications may prove to be incorrect.
Second-quarter results and trends described in this release may not necessarily be indicative of the Company’s future performance. The Company’s outlook is subject to risks and uncertainties and is based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable but which may be materially different from actual results. Factors that the Company currently believes could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including the outlook and 2026 Guidance, include, but are not limited to: the Company’s ability to address challenges, including shipment declines caused by economic and weather events beyond its control; a widespread decline in aggregates pricing, including reduced shipment volume negatively affecting price; the termination, capping, reduction or suspension of federal and/or state fuel tax(es) or other revenue related to public construction; the level and timing of federal, state or local transportation or infrastructure or public projects funding, including any issues arising from such budgets, particularly in Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Arizona, Iowa and Minnesota; the United States Congress’ inability to reach agreement internally or with the Executive Branch on policy affecting the federal budget; a prolonged Federal government shutdown; the ability of states or other entities to finance approved projects through tax revenues or alternative financing; construction spending levels in the Company’s markets; reductions in defense spending and impacts on construction activity on or near military bases; declines in energy-related construction due to changes in oil production or capital spending, particularly in Texas; sustained high mortgage interest rates and factors leading to a slowdown in private construction in some areas; unfavorable weather, including storms, hurricanes, wildfires, timing of seasons, drought, rainfall, or extreme temperatures affecting production schedules, shipment volumes, product/geographic mix and profitability; volatility in fuel and energy costs, including diesel, electricity, natural gas and consumables like steel, explosives, tires and conveyor belts, as well as natural gas for the Company’s Specialties business; increased raw materials costs, such as bitumen; rising costs of repair and supply parts; construction labor shortages and supply chain challenges; labor relations risks, such as unionization efforts, work stoppages or strikes; workforce demographics-related challenges in recruiting and retaining skilled employees, particularly for physically demanding roles in rural or less-populated areas; unexpected equipment failures, unscheduled maintenance, industrial accident or prolonged production disruption; resiliency and potential declines of the Company's construction end-use markets; potential impacts of disease outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics, or similar health threats, or fear of such events, and related economic/societal responses, affecting suppliers, customers, partners or employees; the performance of the overall United States economy; governmental regulation, including environmental laws and climate change regulations at state and federal levels; implementation of emissions taxes, carbon-pricing schemes, or stricter climate-related rules that could increase operating costs or restrict Specialties production; delays or difficulties in securing timely land use approvals or environmental permits amid changing regulatory expectations; increasing legal actions or public pressure related to environmental impact, emissions, or land use could result in reputational harm or financial liability; failure to meet evolving environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards or investor benchmarks may affect access to capital or shareholder confidence; changes in external ESG ratings or methodologies could affect investor sentiment or index inclusion; increasing competition for water access or stricter water usage regulations could impact production, especially in drought-prone regions; outcomes of environmental or land-use proceedings, or increased costs associated with regulatory obligations, including site reclamation; elevated premiums or reduced coverage availability for property, casualty, or environmental liability could increase risk exposure; transportation availability and investment in rail infrastructure impacting the movement of materials especially to the Company’s Texas, Southeast and Gulf Coast markets, the movement of essential dolomitic lime to the Company’s Specialties plant in Manistee, Michigan and its customers, and the movement of magnesite from the Company's Specialties' Gabbs, Nevada facility to processing plants in North Carolina, Indiana and Pennsylvania and the Company's customers; increased transportation costs, including increases from energy price fluctuations, fuel surcharges, and compliance with tightening regulations, including water shipments; availability of trucks and licensed drivers for material transport; availability and cost of construction equipment in the United States; weakness in the steel industry markets served by the Company’s dolomitic lime products; geopolitical risks affecting costs, supply chain, oil and gas prices, including conflict zones such as Iran, Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Middle East and potential China-Taiwan tensions; trade disputes and tariffs impacting the U.S. economy; unplanned cost changes or customer realignments affecting earnings; dependence on information technology and automated systems; risks related to third-party vendors, including exposure to cybersecurity vulnerabilities or service outages; inflation pressures on production and interest costs; customer concentration in construction markets increasing the risk of potential losses on customer receivables; demand levels, production volumes, and cost management affecting operating leverage and profitability; risks related to the Company's pending LNA transaction, including the timing of consummation of the transaction; the ability to satisfy closing conditions, transaction costs or that the closing of the transaction does not occur; the risk that any regulatory approval required to complete the transaction is not obtained, or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated or that the Company is not obligated to accept; the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; global economic conditions; adverse industry conditions; the risk that the Securities Sale Agreement may be terminated, including in circumstances that would require the Company to pay a termination fee; the Company’s ability to obtain the financing on favorable terms or at all and the resulting increase in the Company’s indebtedness and potential effects on the Company’s credit ratings; the issuance of newly-issued shares of Martin Marietta common stock as consideration payable at the closing of the LNA Transaction and the resulting dilution to the Company’s existing shareholders; and potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships during the pendency of the transaction that could affect financial performance, integration challenges, market conditions, and the impact of the transaction on the Company's stakeholders; the possibility that acquisition synergies may not be realized as expected or within anticipated timeframes, potentially impacting profitability and debt covenant compliance; risks related to executive succession, retention and leadership development critical to strategy execution, including impacts from unexpected leadership changes; changes in tax laws or interpretations, including those related to acquisitions or divestitures, which could increase tax rates; violation of the Company’s debt covenants in the event of price and/or volume instability; new or revised accounting rules could impact financial reporting, asset valuations, or covenant compliance; challenges in implementing new technologies or automation systems could lead to inefficiencies, cost overruns, or operational disruptions; cybersecurity risks; downward pressure on the Company’s common stock price affecting goodwill impairment evaluations; potential credit rating downgrades to non-investment grade; and other risk factors listed from time to time in the Company’s SEC filings.
You should also review the risk factors discussed in Martin Marietta’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the forthcoming Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and other periodic SEC filings. All forward-looking statements should be evaluated with these considerations in mind. Other risks and uncertainties not presently known or currently deemed immaterial may also affect the Company’s performance or the accuracy of forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
