Tom Hill, Vulcan Materials' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our second quarter results reflected another quarter of outstanding execution, and we carry good momentum into the remainder of the year. Despite weather challenges, our pricing discipline and excellent cost performance have led to a 13 percent increase in aggregates cash gross profit per ton, a 16 percent improvement in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 260 basis points through the first half of the year.”
Second Quarter Segment Results
Aggregates Continued pricing discipline and operational execution drove earnings growth and margin expansion despite lower shipments and challenging weather conditions throughout the quarter. Segment gross profit increased to $560 million ($9.44 per ton), and gross profit margin expanded to 33.9 percent. Cash gross profit per ton increased 9 percent to $11.88 per ton. On a trailing-twelve months basis, cash gross profit per ton was $11.25, increasing 13 percent over the prior year and marking a tenth consecutive quarter of double-digit compounding improvement in unit profitability.
Second quarter aggregates shipments decreased 1 percent as compared to the prior year due in part to significant rainfall in many key Southeastern markets throughout much of the quarter. Price growth was widespread, and freight-adjusted selling prices increased 5 percent (8 percent on a mix-adjusted basis) as compared to the prior year. In addition to the anticipated impact of recent acquisitions, second quarter reported price was also impacted by unfavorable legacy geographic mix due to the inclement weather in the Southeast. Freight-adjusted unit cash cost of sales increased a modest 1 percent ($0.15 per ton) as a result of continued operating cost discipline despite challenging weather conditions.
Asphalt and Concrete Asphalt segment gross profit was $57 million, and cash gross profit was $71 million. Despite lower shipments, unit cash gross profit improved 5 percent, and gross profit margin remained a solid 15.5 percent. Concrete segment gross profit was 8 million, and cash gross profit was $27 million. Unit cash gross profit increased 30 percent, due mostly to the contribution of acquired operations.
Selling, Administrative and General (SAG) SAG expense in the second quarter was $144 million, or 6.9 percent of total revenues. On a trailing-twelve months basis, SAG expense was $550 million, or 7.2 percent as a percentage of total revenues, 10 basis points lower than the prior year.
Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Allocation The Company remains well positioned for continued growth with a strong liquidity position and balance sheet profile. Capital expenditures for maintenance and growth projects were $102 million in the second quarter, and the Company returned $65 million to shareholders through dividends, a 6 percent increase versus the prior year.
As of June 30th, 2025, the ratio of total debt to trailing-twelve months Adjusted EBITDA was 2.2 times (2.1 times on a net debt basis) and within the Company's target range of 2.0 to 2.5 times. On a trailing-twelve months basis, return on average invested capital was 15.9 percent.
Outlook Regarding the Company's outlook, Mr. Hill said, “Our execution in the first half of the year along with an acceleration in new highway construction activity in our markets supports our full-year outlook to deliver $2.35 to $2.55 billion of Adjusted EBITDA. As always, we will remain focused on factors within our control, including pricing and operating disciplines that drive earnings growth and cash generation.”

Appendix 1Reconciliation of Non-GAAP MeasuresAggregates segment freight-adjusted revenues is not a Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measure and should not be considered as an alternative to metrics defined by GAAP. We present this metric as it is consistent with the basis by which we review our operating results. We believe that this presentation is consistent with our competitors and meaningful to our investors as it excludes revenues associated with freight & delivery, which are pass-through activities. It also excludes other revenues related to services, such as landfill tipping fees, that are derived from our aggregates business. Additionally, we use this metric as the basis for calculating the average sales price of our aggregates products. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below:Aggregates Segment Freight-Adjusted Revenues (in millions, except per unit data) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Trailing-Twelve Months Ended June 30 June 30 June 30 2025 2024 2025 2024 2025 2024Aggregates segmentSegment sales $1,649.6 $1,613.5 $2,985.4 $2,904.9 $6,030.1 $5,946.3Freight & delivery revenues 1 (310.9) (324.5) (575.2) (602.0) (1,193.3) (1,277.7)Other revenues (28.8) (26.4) (48.1) (48.9) (92.6) (108.3)Freight-adjusted revenues $1,310.1 $1,262.6 $2,362.1 $2,254.0 $4,744.3 $4,560.3Unit shipments – tons 59.3 60.1 107.0 108.3 218.7 227.6Freight-adjusted sales price $22.11 $21.00 $22.07 $20.82 $21.70 $20.041 At the segment level, freight & delivery revenues include intersegment freight & delivery (which are eliminated at the consolidated level) and freight to remote distribution sites.GAAP does not define “cash gross profit,” and it should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP. We and the investment community use this metric to assess the operating performance of our business. Additionally, we present this metric as we believe that it closely correlates to long-term shareholder value. Cash gross profit adds back noncash charges for depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization to gross profit. Segment cash gross profit per unit is computed by dividing segment cash gross profit by units shipped. Segment cash cost of sales per unit is computed by subtracting segment cash gross profit per unit from segment freight-adjusted sales price.

Appendix 2Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures (Continued)GAAP does not define “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization” (EBITDA), and it should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP. We use this metric to assess the operating performance of our business and as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting as we believe that it closely correlates to long-term shareholder value. We do not use this metric as a measure to allocate resources. We adjust EBITDA for certain items to provide a more consistent comparison of earnings performance from period to period.

For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
Appendix 3Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures (Continued)Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measure and should not be considered as an alternative to metrics defined by GAAP. We, the investment community and credit rating agencies use this metric to assess our leverage. Net debt subtracts cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash from total debt. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below:Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA (in millions) June 30 2025 2024DebtCurrent maturities of long-term debt $0.5 $0.5Short-term debt 550.0 95.0Long-term debt 4,359.2 3,331.7Total debt $4,909.7 $3,427.2Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (351.0) (111.6)Net debt $4,558.7 $3,315.6Trailing-Twelve Months (TTM) Adjusted EBITDA $2,201.1 $2,005.0Total debt to TTM Adjusted EBITDA 2.2x 1.7xNet debt to TTM Adjusted EBITDA 2.1x 1.7xWe define “Return on Invested Capital” (ROIC) as Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing-twelve months divided by average invested capital (as illustrated below) during the trailing 5-quarters. Our calculation of ROIC is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because we calculate ROIC using the non-GAAP metric EBITDA. We believe that our ROIC metric is meaningful because it helps investors assess how effectively we are deploying our assets. Although ROIC is a standard financial metric, numerous methods exist for calculating a company's ROIC. As a result, the method we use to calculate our ROIC may differ from the methods used by other companies. This metric is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below (numbers may not foot due to rounding):Return on Invested Capital (dollars in millions) Trailing-Twelve Months Ended June 30 2025 2024Adjusted EBITDA $2,201.1 $2,005.0Average invested capital Property, plant & equipment, net $7,600.8 $6,212.1 Goodwill 3,684.3 3,564.3 Other intangible assets 1,591.5 1,498.8 Fixed and intangible assets $12,876.6 $11,275.2 Current assets $2,124.9 $2,230.8 Cash and cash equivalents (338.1) (374.8) Current tax (41.7) (38.2) Adjusted current assets 1,745.1 1,817.8 Current liabilities (989.8) (789.6) Current maturities of long-term debt 80.5 0.5 Short-term debt 129.0 19.0 Adjusted current liabilities (780.3) (770.1) Adjusted net working capital $964.8 $1,047.7Average invested capital $13,841.4 $12,322.9Return on invested capital 15.9% 16.3%
