Notable items for the quarter are highlighted below (unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are with the prior year’s fiscal second quarter):

  • Record Revenue of $623.6 million

  • Net Earnings of $143.5 million

  • Net Earnings per diluted share of $4.26

  • Adjusted net earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) of $4.31

    • Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by excluding non-routine items in the manner described in Attachment 6

  • Adjusted EBITDA of $242.2 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 253,000 shares of Eagle’s common stock for $61 million

Commenting on the second quarter results, Michael Haack, President and CEO, said, "Eagle’s portfolio of businesses continued to perform well despite ongoing adverse weather during the quarter, which affected sales volumes primarily in our Cement and Concrete and Aggregates businesses. We generated record revenue of $624 million and increased cashflow from operations by 35% to $233 million. We used our strong cashflow to continue advancing our long-term growth and value-creation strategies: during the quarter, we completed a bolt-on aggregates acquisition, returned $69 million of cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends, and strengthened our balance sheet, ending the quarter with debt of $1.1 billion and a net leverage ratio (net debt to Adjusted EBITDA) of 1.2x." (Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from debt as described in Attachment 6).

Mr. Haack continued, "We remain optimistic about our near-term and future opportunities and confident in our ability to execute on them. The current economic environment is constructive for our businesses. Employment is strong, recent inflation data should support a more accommodative monetary environment, spending from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) is still in the beginning phases, and housing supply remains chronically short because of decade-long production deficits."

"We believe our well-positioned balance sheet should give us substantial financial flexibility and support our capital allocation priorities and long-term growth, and our consistent, disciplined operational and strategic approach should position us to continue to perform well through economic cycles and drive superior value for our shareholders."
