Part II ♦ Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
To that effect, the Company has invested nearly $8.0 billion in acquisitions since the launch of SOAR in 2010.
Notably, since 2022, the Company divested its Colorado and Central Texas ready mixed concrete businesses and certain West Coast cement and ready mixed concrete operations and, as of February 9, 2024, completed the divestiture of its South Texas cement and related ready mixed concrete operations, refining its product mix and improving its margin profile, while providing balance sheet flexibility.
In total, these divestitures provided pretax cash proceeds of $3.1 billion.
The Company focuses its geographic footprint along significant transportation and commerce corridors, particularly where both land is readily available and land use entitlement is likely achievable for the development of fulfillment and/or data centers.
2023 Performance Highlights
Company-wide Total Injury Incident Rate (TIIR) of 0.78, the third consecutive year of world-class or better TIIR thresholds
Achieved Record Financial Performance:
The Company achieved record revenues, gross profit, diluted earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA (defined in the *Results of Operations* section), reflecting the efficacy of its value-over-volume commercial strategy and continued focus on operational excellence and despite lower shipments due to the effects of restrictive monetary policies and a housing slowdown.
Further, 2023 marked the twelfth consecutive year of growth for Adjusted EBITDA.
The Company’s commitment to safety and operational and commercial excellence resulted in the following financial performance from continuing operations (comparisons with 2022):
Record consolidated total revenues of $6.78 billion compared with $6.16 billion, an increase of 10.0%
Record consolidated gross profit of $2.02 billion compared with $1.42 billion, an increase of 42.1%
Record consolidated Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $2.13 billion, an increase of 33.0%
Operating cash flow of $1.53 billion, an increase of 54.2%
Continued Disciplined Execution Against Capital Allocation Priorities:
Optimized portfolio with divestitures of the Company's California cement operations
Capital investments into operations of $650.3 million
Quarterly dividend increase of 12% in August 2023, resulting in total annual dividends paid of $174.0 million, or $2.80 per share
Repurchase of 0.4 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $150.0 million
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had production facilities in Midlothian, Texas, south of Dallas/Fort Worth, and New Braunfels, Texas, centrally located along I-35 between San Antonio and Austin.
The Company also operated several cement distribution terminals.
The Midlothian plant has a permit that allows for capacity expansion of 0.8 million tons.
On February 9, 2024, the Company closed the sale of the Hunter cement business in South Texas, related distribution terminals and the Austin and San Antonio ready mix concrete business to CRH Americas Materials.
This divestiture optimizes the Company's portfolio and product mix and provides additional balance sheet flexibility to redeploy net proceeds into pure-play aggregates acquisitions.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company owned more than 600 million tons of limestone reserves adjacent to its cement production plants in Texas.
The cement grade limestone reserves used for cement production at the South Texas production facility were included with the divestiture to CRH Americas Materials, Inc. During 2021, the Company purchased two cement plants in Redding and Tehachapi, California, and related distribution facilities as part of the acquisition of Lehigh Hanson, Inc.'s West Region business (Lehigh West Region).
The Redding plant and related distribution terminals were sold on June 30, 2022.
The Tehachapi plant was sold on October 31, 2023.
*According to the latest available data published by the U.S. Geological Survey, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, estimated construction aggregates consumption decreased slightly compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and for the eleven months ended November 30, 2023, cement consumption decreased slightly versus the comparable prior-year period.*

Demand in the nonresidential and residential construction markets, which combined accounted for [removed: 59%] [added: 58%] of the Company's [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] aggregates shipments, is affected by interest rates.
At December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] the Company had an [removed: $800.0] [added: $800] million Revolving Facility and a [removed: $400.0] [added: $400] million Trade Receivable Facility.
As of December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] the Company did not have any outstanding variable-rate [removed: debt.][added: borrowings.]
The impact of hypothetical changes in these assumptions on the Company’s annual pension expense and accrued pension obligation is discussed in the *Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Pension [added: Benefit Obligation and Pension] Expense – Selection of Assumptions* section included under Item 7 – MD&A of this Form 10-K.
Any changes in enacted tax laws, rules or regulatory or judicial interpretation, or any change in the pronouncements relating to accounting for income taxes, could materially impact the Company's effective tax rate, tax payments, [added: cash flow,] financial condition and results of operations.
Energy costs, including diesel fuel, natural gas, electricity, [removed: coal, petroleum coke] [added: coal] and [removed: liquid asphalt,] [added: petroleum coke,] represent significant production costs of the Company.
A hypothetical 10% change in the Company’s energy prices in [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] as compared with [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] assuming constant volumes, would change [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] energy expense by [removed: $40.5] [added: $32] million.

Part II ♦ Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Commodity Risk
Cement is a commodity and competition is based principally on price, which is highly sensitive to changes in supply and demand.
Prices are often subject to material changes in response to relatively minor fluctuations in supply and demand, general economic conditions and other market conditions beyond the Company’s control.
Increases in the production capacity of industry participants or increases in cement imports tend to create an oversupply of such products leading to an imbalance between supply and demand, which can have a negative impact on product prices.
There can be no assurance that product prices will not decline in the future or that such declines will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Using full-year 2023 cement revenues of $725.5 million as a baseline, a hypothetical 10% change in average selling price of the cement product line would impact full-year cement product line revenues by $72.6 million.
Cement is a key raw material in the production of ready mixed concrete.
The Company may be unable to pass along increases in the costs of cement and raw materials to customers in the form of price increases for the Company’s products.
A hypothetical 10% change in cement costs in 2024 compared with 2023, assuming constant volumes, would change the ready mixed concrete product line cost of sales by $29.2 million.
While increases in cement pricing may negatively impact the profitability of the Company's ready mixed concrete operations, the cement business would benefit, although the positive impact may not reflect a direct correlation to the impact to the ready mixed concrete business.

The ten largest revenue-generating states (Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Georgia, [added: Florida,] Minnesota, Arizona, [removed: Iowa, Florida] [added: South Carolina] and [removed: Indiana)] [added: Iowa)] accounted for [removed: 82%] [added: 81%] of the Building Materials business’ [removed: total] revenues in [removed: 2023.][added: 2024.]
The Building Materials business is accordingly affected by the economies in these regions and has been adversely affected in part by [added: episodic] recessions and weaknesses in these economies [removed: from time to time] and may be affected by [removed: a decline] [added: future declines] in economic conditions, such as [removed: recession,] [added: recessions,] economic [removed: downturn] [added: downturns] or inflationary [removed: conditions in the future.][added: conditions.]
Proximity of quarry facilities to customers’ [added: plants,] construction sites or [removed: to] long-haul transportation corridors is an important factor in competition for [added: the sale of] aggregates [removed: businesses.][added: products.]
[removed: As a general rule,] [added: Generally,] the distance [removed: truck] shipments travel [added: by truck] from [removed: an individual] [added: a given] quarry is limited because the cost of transporting processed aggregates to customers is high in relation to the price of the product itself.
The Company’s distribution network moves aggregates materials from certain domestic and offshore sources via its long-haul rail and waterborne distribution [removed: network,] [added: network] to markets where aggregates supply is limited.
The Company’s rail network primarily serves its Texas, [removed: Florida, Colorado] [added: Southeast] and Gulf Coast markets, while the Company’s locations in The Bahamas and Nova Scotia transport materials via oceangoing ships.
The Company’s strategic focus includes expanding inland and offshore capacity and acquiring distribution facilities and port locations to offload [added: and sell] transported material.
[removed: At] [added: As of] December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] the Company’s aggregates distribution facilities consisted of [removed: 76] [added: 78 distribution] yards.

Production costs are generally higher at underground mines than surface quarries [removed: since] [added: because] the depth of the aggregates deposits and the access to the reserves result in higher costs related to development, explosives and depreciation costs.
The Company’s Board of Directors and management continue to review and monitor the Company’s long-term strategic plans, commonly referred to as SOAR (Strategic Operating Analysis and Review), which include assessing portfolio optimization strategies [removed: that include] [added: such as] business combinations and arrangements with other companies engaged in similar businesses, investing in internal expansion projects in high-growth markets, divesting businesses or nonoperating assets that are not core or do not further management’s strategy and pursuing new opportunities in the Company’s existing markets or new markets.
The Company’s aggregates reserves average [removed: approximately 75] [added: more than 85] years, based on the [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] annual production level.
Moreover, environmental, zoning and land use regulations will likely make it [removed: harder] [added: more difficult] for the Company to expand its existing quarries or develop new quarry operations.
The Company generally maintains inventories of aggregates products in sufficient quantities to meet [removed: the requirements of customers.][added: customer requirements.]
Clinker is the [removed: initial] [added: intermediate] product in cement production, and the [removed: two] Texas production [removed: facilities had a combined] [added: facility has an] annual clinker capacity of [removed: 4.5] [added: 2.4] million [removed: tons in 2023.][added: tons.]

The Company was formed in 1993 as a North Carolina corporation to serve as successor to the operations of the materials group of the organization that is now Lockheed Martin Corporation.
An initial public offering of a portion of the Company’s common stock was completed in 1994, followed by a tax-free exchange transaction in 1996 that resulted in 100% of the Company’s common stock being publicly traded.
The Company completed over 100 acquisitions, as well as a number of strategic dispositions, from the time of its initial public offering until the present, which allowed the Company to enhance and expand its aggregates-led presence in the building materials marketplace.
On January 12, 2024, the Company acquired Albert Frei & Sons, Inc., a leading aggregates producer in Colorado.
This acquisition provides more than 60 years (at current production levels) of high-quality, hard rock reserves to better serve new and existing customers and enhances the Company's aggregates platform in the Denver metropolitan area.
This divestiture optimized the Company's portfolio and product mix and provided proceeds the Company used to consummate the Blue Water Industries LLC acquisition discussed below.
The transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $1.3 billion.
During October 2024, the Company acquired pure aggregates assets in South Florida and Southern California.
In December 2024, the Company completed an aggregates-led, bolt-on acquisition in West Texas.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company has one production facility in Midlothian, Texas, south of Dallas/Fort Worth, which produces Portland and specialty cements.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company operated 72 ready mixed concrete plants in Arizona and Texas.

Part I ♦ Item 1 – Business
In 2023, aggregates shipments decreased 4.3%, largely reflective of the Company's value-over-volume strategy and moderating demand resulting from the affordability-driven residential slowdown and a softening in warehouse and data center construction demand.
At December 31, 2023, the Company had production facilities in Midlothian, Texas, south of Dallas/Fort Worth, and New Braunfels, Texas, north of San Antonio.
These plants, which produce Portland and specialty cements, operated at 71% utilization in 2023.
The Midlothian plant permit allows the Company to expand production by up to 0.8 million additional tons.
On February 9, 2024, the Company closed the sale of it South Texas cement business and related cement distribution terminals.
The Company in 2023 owned more than 600 million tons of limestone reserves adjacent to its Texas cement production plants on Company-owned property.
Energy accounted for 18% of the cement total cost of revenues, excluding inventory change, in 2023.
Therefore, cement profitability is affected by changes in energy prices and the available supply of these products.
The Company currently has fixed-price supply contracts for portions of its natural gas, electricity and coal needs, but also consumes alternative fuel and petroleum coke.
Further, profitability of the cement operations is also impacted by kiln maintenance, which typically is planned but requires a plant to be shut down for a period of time.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company operated 82 ready mixed concrete plants in Arizona and Texas, of which 20 plants located in the Austin and San Antonio region are classified as assets held for sale.
These 20 plants were subsequently divested on February 9, 2024.
A significant portion of the 275,000-ton dolomitic lime capacity from a lime kiln at Woodville, Ohio is committed under a long-term supply contract.
In 2023, 78% of the lime shipments in the Magnesia Specialties business was sold to third-party customers, while the remaining 22% was used internally as a raw material in making the business’ chemical products.
In 2023, 38% of the Magnesia Specialties’ total revenues were attributable to products used in the steel industry, primarily dolomitic lime.
The dolomitic lime business runs most profitably at 70% or greater domestic steel capacity utilization.
According to the Federal Reserve, domestic steel capacity utilization averaged 74% of capacity in 2023 versus 75% of capacity in 2022.
For 2023, the Company’s average cost per MMBtu (1,000,000 British thermal units) of natural gas decreased 19% versus 2022.
Capacity for cement plants is often stated in terms of clinker capacity.
According to the Portland Cement Association, United States cement production is widely dispersed, with the top five companies collectively producing approximately 57% of U.S. clinker capacity.
An estimated 85% of U.S. clinker capacity is owned by companies headquartered outside of the United States.
The Company’s cement operations also compete with imported cement because of the higher value of the product and the existence of major ports or terminals in Texas.
The Company’s ready mixed concrete and asphalt and paving operations are also in markets with numerous operators, large and small.

In 2021, a pair of executive orders and a presidential memorandum were issued making climate change central to U.S. policy and setting out several administrative priorities and undertakings to reduce GHG emissions.
The United States reentered the Paris Agreement in January 2021 and later announced the U.S. reduction commitments under the Paris Agreement, including a 50% to 52% economy-wide reduction in net GHG emissions from 2005 levels by 2030.
The United States also entered a pact with 103 countries and jurisdictions, known as the Global Methane Pledge, to reduce global methane emissions by 30% from 2020 levels by the end of the decade.

*Acquisition of BWI Southeast – Valuation of Mineral Reserves*
As described in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, on April 5, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of 20 active aggregates operations in Alabama, South Carolina, South Florida, Tennessee, and Virginia from affiliates of Blue Water Industries LLC (BWI Southeast) for $2.05 billion in cash, which resulted in the Company recording mineral reserves of $1.9 billion .
As disclosed by management, the fair value of mineral reserves is determined using an excess earnings approach, which requires significant judgment to estimate future cash flows based on available historical information and future expectations, as well as significant assumptions, which include forecasted revenues based on sales price and shipment volumes, EBITDA margin, forecasted expenses inclusive of production costs and capital needs, and the discount rate.
These procedures also included, among others, (i) reading the purchase agreement; (ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimate of the mineral reserves acquired; (iii) evaluating the appropriateness of the excess earnings approach; (iv) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the excess earnings approach; and (v) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to forecasted revenues, EBITDA margin and the discount rate.
Evaluating management's assumptions related to forecasted revenues and EBITDA margin involved considering (i) the current and past performance of the BWI Southeast business; (ii) the current and past performance of peer companies; (iii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iv) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the excess earnings approach and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate assumption.

Part II ♦ Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
February 23, 2024
*Valuation of the Projected Benefit Obligation for Certain Defined Benefit Plans*
As described in Note J to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s net projected benefit obligation for all defined benefit plans was $969.2 million as of December 31, 2023.
As disclosed by management, annually, as of December 31, management remeasures the defined benefit pension plans’ projected benefit obligation based on the present value of the projected future benefit payments to all participants for services rendered to date, reflecting expected future pay increases through the participants’ expected retirement dates.
The key assumptions used by management to estimate the projected benefit obligation are the discount rate, the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, the mortality table and mortality improvement scale, and the rate of increase in future compensation levels.
These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data provided by management and (ii) the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of management’s estimate for certain defined benefit plans by (a) evaluating the appropriateness of management’s actuarial methodologies; (b) developing an independent range of the discount rate and comparing management's selected discount rate to the independently developed range to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s discount rate assumption; and (c) assessing the consistency of management’s actuarial methodologies period-over-period.

Item 1C. CYBERSECURITY
0 rewritten, 0 added, 21 removed, 0 unchanged
Dropped this year
Risk Management and Strategy
Martin Marietta prioritizes the management of cybersecurity risk and the protection of information across the enterprise by embedding data protection and cybersecurity risk management in its operations.
The Company’s processes for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats have been integrated into the Company’s overall risk management system and processes.
As a foundation of this approach, the Company has implemented a layered governance structure to help assess, identify and manage cybersecurity risks.
Martin Marietta’s cybersecurity policies encompass incident response procedures and information security.
In order to help develop these policies and procedures, the Company monitors the privacy and cybersecurity laws, regulations and guidance applicable to, as well as proposed privacy and cybersecurity laws, regulations, guidance and emerging risks.
The Company partners with leading cybersecurity companies and organizations, leveraging third-party technology and expertise, to monitor and test the performance and effectiveness of its cybersecurity controls and defenses.
As described in [Item 1A “Risk Factors”](#item_1a_risk_factors) of this Form 10-K, the Company faces risks from cybersecurity threats that could have material adverse effect on its business including its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.
While the Company has experienced attacks on the security of its information technology systems to date, management is not aware that the Company has experienced a material cybersecurity incident during the 2023 fiscal year.
Governance
As part of its overall risk management approach, the Company prioritizes the identification and management of cybersecurity risk at several levels, including Board oversight, day-to-day executive risk management and employee training.
The Audit Committee, comprised of independent directors from the Board, oversees the Board’s responsibilities relating to the operational (including information technology risks, business continuity and data security) risk affairs of the Company.
The Audit Committee is informed of such risks through quarterly reports from the Senior Vice President, Chief Information Officer (CIO), who oversees the implementation and compliance of information security standards and mitigation of cybersecurity related risks, assesses and manages the cyber risk management program, informs senior management regarding the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents with the support of the cybersecurity incident management team and supervises such efforts.
The Company’s cybersecurity incident management team has decades of experience selecting, deploying and operating cybersecurity technologies, initiatives and processes as well as managing enterprise risk.
The Incident Response Leadership Committee, which includes senior executives across the Company, is alerted as appropriate to cybersecurity incidents.
The CIO communicates to the Audit Committee regarding the activities of the Incident Response Leadership Committee.
The Company also holds annual employee trainings on cybersecurity, conducts phishing tests and generally seeks to promote awareness of cybersecurity risk through communication and education of its employees.
