Eagle Materials Reports Third Quarter Results
DALLAS--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Eagle Materials Inc. (NYSE: EXP) today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 ended December 31, 2025. Notable items for the quarter are highlighted below (unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are with the prior year’s fiscal third quarter).
Third Quarter Fiscal 2026 Highlights
Commenting on the third quarter results, Michael Haack, President and CEO, said, “Despite a mixed construction environment, Eagle’s portfolio of businesses continued to perform well during the quarter, generating revenue of $556 million, EPS of $3.22 and gross margins of 28.9%. While the residential construction market was challenged, federal, state, and local spending on public infrastructure projects and private non-residential construction remained elevated, supporting strong demand for our Heavy construction products. Our Cement sales volume was up 9% and our organic Aggregates sales volume increased 34%.”
Mr. Haack continued, “During the quarter, we strengthened our financial position, issuing $750 million of 10-year senior notes with an interest rate of 5.00%, which extended our total debt maturity schedule and increased committed liquidity. A portion of the proceeds were used to repay our bank credit facility. We also significantly increased our distribution of cash to shareholders, returning nearly $150 million through our quarterly cash dividend and the repurchase of approximately 648,000 shares of our common stock. We ended the quarter with debt of $1.8 billion, net debt of $1.4 billion, and a net leverage ratio (net debt to Adjusted EBITDA) of 1.8x, giving us substantial financial flexibility that supports disciplined, value-enhancing capital allocation and long-term growth.” (Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from debt as described in Attachment 6.)
Mr. Haack concluded, “Our low-cost operations continue to generate strong cashflow that we are investing to advance our operational efficiency and our low-cost position. We continued to make good progress this quarter on our projects to modernize our Laramie, Wyoming Cement plant and our Duke, Oklahoma Gypsum Wallboard plant. These growth investments will lower each plant’s cost structure, improve their reliability, and expand their production capabilities, which will strengthen our already low-cost competitive position. We are highly confident that our strong market position, advantaged capital structure, and rigorous operating discipline position us for continued success over the long term.”
Segment Financial Results
Heavy Materials: Cement, Concrete and Aggregates
Revenue in the Heavy Materials sector, which includes Cement, Concrete and Aggregates, as well as Joint Venture and intersegment Cement revenue, was up 11% to $390.2 million. Heavy Materials operating earnings increased by 9% to $92.7 million. Both increases resulted from higher Cement and Aggregates sales volume and the contribution from the recently acquired aggregates business in Western Pennsylvania.
Cement revenue for the quarter, including Joint Venture and intersegment revenue, was up 9% to $321.2 million, and operating earnings were up 5% to $91.3 million. These increases reflect higher Cement sales volume, partially offset by a 1% decline in Cement net sales prices. Cement sales volume increased 9% to 1.9 million tons.
Concrete and Aggregates revenue was up 22% to $69.0 million, and operating earnings increased to $1.4 million, reflecting higher Aggregates sales volume, increased Concrete and Aggregates pricing, and $7.6 million of revenue contribution from the recently acquired aggregates business. Excluding the recently acquired business, Aggregates revenue increased 9%, and sales volume was up 34%.
Light Materials: Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard
Revenue in the Light Materials sector, which includes Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard, decreased 16% to $203.5 million, reflecting lower Wallboard and Paperboard sales volume and prices. Gypsum Wallboard sales volume was down 14% to 637 million square feet (MMSF), and the average Gypsum Wallboard net sales price decreased 5% to $225.19 per MSF.
Paperboard sales volume for the quarter was down 10% to 81,000 tons. The average Paperboard net sales price was $588.77 per ton, down 6%, consistent with the pricing provisions in our long-term sales agreements that factor in changes to input costs.
Operating earnings in the sector were $72.6 million, a decrease of 25%, reflecting lower Wallboard and Paperboard sales volume and pricing.
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses
Corporate General and Administrative Expenses increased by approximately 15% compared with the prior year. The increase was primarily related to increases in information technology costs of $1.2 million for technology upgrades, and $1.4 million of costs associated with business-development and professional services.
Details of Financial Results
We conduct one of our cement plant operations through a 50/50 joint venture, Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP (the Joint Venture). We use the equity method of accounting for our 50% interest in the Joint Venture. For segment reporting purposes only, we proportionately consolidate our 50% share of the Joint Venture’s revenue and operating earnings, which is consistent with the way management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
In addition, for segment reporting purposes, we report intersegment revenue as part of a segment’s total revenue. Intersegment sales are eliminated on the consolidated income statement. Refer to Attachment 3 for a reconciliation of these amounts.

Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. The principal risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s actual performance include the following: the cyclical and seasonal nature of the Company’s businesses; fluctuations in public infrastructure expenditures; the effects of adverse weather conditions on infrastructure and other construction projects as well as our facilities and operations; the fact that our products are commodities and that prices for our products are subject to material fluctuation due to market conditions and other factors beyond our control; the availability of and fluctuations in the cost of raw materials; changes in the costs of energy, including, without limitation, natural gas, coal and oil (including diesel), and the nature of our obligations to counterparties under energy supply contracts, such as those related to market conditions (for example, spot market prices), governmental orders and other matters; changes in the cost and availability of transportation; unexpected operational difficulties, including unexpected maintenance costs, equipment downtime and interruption of production; material nonpayment or non-performance by any of our key customers; consolidation of our customers; interruptions in our supply chain; inability to timely execute or realize capacity expansions or efficiency gains from capital improvement projects; difficulties and delays in the development of new business lines; governmental regulation and changes in governmental and public policy (including, without limitation, climate change and other environmental regulation); changes in trade policy, including tariffs and the effects of any increases in tariffs on our business, including increases in cost of inputs used in our facility expansion and modernization projects; possible losses or other adverse outcomes from pending or future litigation or arbitration proceedings; changes in economic conditions or the nature or level of activity in any one or more of the markets or industries in which the Company or its customers are engaged; competition; cyber-attacks or data security breaches, together with the costs of protecting our systems against such incidents and the possible effects thereof on our operations; increases in capacity in the gypsum wallboard and cement industries; changes in the demand for residential housing construction or commercial construction or construction projects undertaken by state or local governments; the availability of acquisitions or other growth opportunities that meet our financial return standards and fit our strategic focus; risks related to pursuit of acquisitions, joint ventures and other transactions or the execution or implementation of such transactions, including the integration of operations acquired by the Company; general economic conditions, including inflation and recessionary conditions; and changes in interest rates (including mortgage rates) and the resulting effects on the Company and demand for our products. For example, increases in interest rates, decreases in demand for construction materials or increases in the cost of our raw materials can be expected to adversely affect the revenue and operating earnings of our operations.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(dollars in thousands)
(unaudited)
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We present Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA to provide additional measures of operating performance and allow for more consistent comparison of operating performance from period to period. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that provides supplemental information regarding the operating performance of our business without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis. Adjusted EBITDA is also a non-GAAP financial measure that further excludes the impact from Non-routine Items and stock-based compensation. Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as alternative bases for comparing the operating performance of Eagle from period to period and for purposes of its budgeting and planning processes. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity in accordance with GAAP. The following shows the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles them to net earnings in accordance with GAAP for the quarters and nine months ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, and the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025:

Reconciliation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
GAAP does not define “Net Debt” and it should not be considered as an alternative to debt as defined by GAAP. We define Net Debt as total debt minus cash and cash equivalents to indicate the amount of total debt that would remain if the Company applied the cash and cash equivalents held by it to the payment of outstanding debt. The Company also uses “Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA,” which it defines as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months, as an alternative metric to assist it in understanding its leverage position. We present this metric for the convenience of the investment community and rating agencies who use such metrics in their analysis, and for investors who need to understand the metrics we use to assess performance and monitor our cash and liquidity positions.
