Martin Marietta Q3 2022 Earnings Report
Achieved record quarterly revenues and gross profit, driven by double-digit pricing growth across all building materials’ product lines. Pricing momentum is expected to drive margin expansion in the fourth quarter.
Key Takeaways
Martin Marietta reported record quarterly revenues and gross profit, driven by double-digit pricing growth across all building materials’ product lines. The company expects a return to expanding margins in the fourth quarter as the compounding effect of multiple pricing actions throughout the year offsets continued inflationary pressure and a slowdown in single-family residential construction.
Building Materials generated record products and services revenues of $1.61 billion, a 15.9 percent increase, driven primarily by acquisitions and double-digit pricing growth across all product lines.
Third-quarter organic aggregates shipments were flat, largely due to logistical constraints, cement shortages and inclement weather in certain key markets. Importantly, organic pricing increased 11.9 percent, or 11.3 percent on a mix-adjusted basis, due to the cumulative effect of price increases throughout the year.
Cement shipments increased 2.3 percent to 1.1 million tons, a third-quarter record. Additionally, pricing increased 21.4 percent, or 20.6 percent on a mix-adjusted basis, driven by continued strong demand and the impact of multiple price increases during the year.
On August 9, 2022, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell the Tehachapi, California cement plant and related distribution terminals to CalPortland Company for $350 million in cash.
