Martin Marietta reported record second-quarter revenues for aggregates and cement shipments, gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted earnings per diluted share. The company's performance was driven by the successful execution of its strategic business plan and the focus of its team. Despite increased inflationary pressure and a challenging macroeconomic environment, the company capitalized on an attractive commercial environment and executed its value-over-volume commercial strategy.
Martin Marietta delivered second-quarter records for aggregates and cement shipments, revenues, gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted earnings per diluted share.
In the second-quarter the company closed two previously announced transactions finalizing the divestiture of Colorado and Central Texas ready mixed concrete businesses and completing the divestiture of certain West Coast cement and ready mixed concrete operations.
Martin Marietta is well positioned to capitalize on strong demand trends across its coast-to-coast geographic footprint as increased infrastructure investment coupled with a recovery in light nonresidential construction, large scale energy projects and domestic manufacturing.
The company expects to see a positive inflection in the current price/cost dynamic, as well as record second-half pricing growth rates which will facilitate attractive margin expansion and accelerated unit profitability growth going forward.
The Company has updated its full-year 2022 guidance to reflect expected second-half pricing cadence, ongoing inflationary pressure and volume constraints driven by continued supply chain and logistics challenges. This guidance excludes businesses classified as discontinued operations.
