PART I

General

Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the Company or Martin Marietta) is a leading natural resource-based building materials company. The Company supplies aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel) through its network of approximately 400 quarries, mines and distribution yards in 28 states, Canada and The Bahamas. In 2025, aggregates generated 88% of the Company’s total reportable segment gross profit. As of December 31, 2025, Martin Marietta also provides other building materials, namely, cement, ready mixed concrete, asphalt and paving services in targeted markets where the Company has a notable aggregates position. The Company’s heavy-side building materials are used in infrastructure, nonresidential and residential construction projects. Aggregates are also used in agricultural, utility and environmental applications and as railroad ballast. The aggregates, cement, ready mixed concrete, asphalt and paving operations are reported collectively as the “Building Materials business”.

The Company also operates a Specialties business (formerly known as the Magnesia Specialties business) with production facilities located in Michigan, Ohio, Nevada, North Carolina, Indiana and Pennsylvania. The Specialties business produces high-purity natural and synthetic magnesia-based products, including magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide, that are used in environmental, industrial, agricultural, construction, consumer and specialty applications. The Specialties business also produces dolomitic lime, which is sold primarily to external customers for use in steel production and soil stabilization, and is also used internally as a raw material input in synthetic magnesia production. Specialties’ products are shipped to customers domestically and worldwide.

The Company was formed in 1993 as a North Carolina corporation to succeed the operations of the materials group of the organization that is now known as Lockheed Martin Corporation. An initial public offering of a portion of the Company’s common stock was completed in 1994, followed in 1996 by a tax-free exchange transaction resulting in all of the Company’s common stock becoming publicly traded. Since its initial public offering, the Company has completed over 100 acquisitions, as well as a number of strategic dispositions, strengthening and expanding 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 added more than 60 years (at current production levels) of high-quality, hard rock reserves, strengthening the Company's aggregates platform in the Denver metropolitan area and improving service to new and existing customers.

On February 9, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its South Texas cement business and certain of its related ready mixed concrete operations to CRH Americas Materials, Inc., a subsidiary of CRH plc, for $2.1 billion in cash. The divested facilities included the Hunter cement plant in New Braunfels, Texas, related cement distribution terminals and 20 ready mixed concrete plants serving the Austin and San Antonio region. This divestiture optimized the Company's portfolio and product mix and provided proceeds that were used to consummate the Blue Water Industries LLC acquisition discussed below. The transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $1.3 billion. The historical financial results of the divested operations and the gain on divestiture were reported in continuing operations for the West Group.

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. The BWI Southeast acquisition complemented Martin Marietta’s existing geographic footprint in the southeast region by expanding into new growth platforms in target markets, including Tennessee and South Florida.

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.

On July 25, 2025, the Company acquired Premier Magnesia, LLC (Premier), a privately-owned producer and distributor of magnesia-based products. Premier is the largest producer of natural magnesite and magnesium sulfate, or Epsom salt, in the United States, with facilities in Nevada, North Carolina, Indiana and Pennsylvania. This transaction expanded the Company's product portfolio and enhanced its domestic magnesia mineral reserves and chemical processing capabilities.

On August 3, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Quikrete Holdings, Inc. (QUIKRETE) for the exchange of certain assets. Under the terms of the agreement, Martin Marietta would receive aggregates facilities producing

Form 10-K ♦ Page 1

Part I ♦ Item 1 – Business

approximately 20 million tons annually across Virginia, Missouri, Kansas and Vancouver, British Columbia, and cash proceeds. In exchange, QUIKRETE would receive the Company’s Midlothian cement plant, related cement distribution terminals, Texas ready mixed concrete assets and certain nonoperating land. The aggregates facilities to be acquired will complement Martin Marietta’s existing geographic footprint in its Central Division and establish new growth platforms in key target markets, including Virginia and the Pacific Northwest. The divesture of its sole cement business and remaining Texas ready mixed concrete operations will optimize the Company's portfolio and product mix and preserve balance sheet capacity to pursue pure-play aggregates opportunities. The Company’s Midlothian cement plant, related cement distribution terminals and Texas ready mixed concrete plants, which are reported in the West Group, meet the criteria for classification as held for sale and their associated financial results qualify as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the Company has recast historical financial information, unless otherwise noted, to reflect this classification for all periods presented.

On December 19, 2025, the Company completed an aggregates-led, bolt-on acquisition in Minnesota.

Building Materials Business

As of December 31, 2025, the Company processed or shipped aggregates from 400 quarries, mines and distribution yards in 28 states, Canada and The Bahamas. No individual quarry or mine is material to the Company’s business or financial condition. The Company’s aggregates reserves, on average, represent approximately 85 years at the 2025 annual production level. However, certain locations may be subject to more limited reserves and may not be able to expand. As of December 31, 2025, the Company operated 89 aggregates distribution yards.

In total, aggregates locations (quarries, mines and distribution yards) include 194 located on land owned by the Company free of major encumbrances, 126 on leased land, 64 on land owned in part and leased in part and 16 on facilities neither owned nor leased where raw materials are removed pursuant to contractual agreements.

In addition, as of December 31, 2025, the Company processed and shipped ready mixed concrete and asphalt products from 112 properties in five states, of which 86 are located on land owned by the Company free of major encumbrances, 24 are on leased land and two are on land owned in part and leased in part.

Part I ♦ Item 2 – Properties

Mineral reserves and mineral resources for the Company’s aggregates and cement businesses have been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of subpart 1300 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K. Mineral resources represent concentrations or occurrences of material of economic interest in or on the Earth's crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. A mineral resource is a reasonable estimate of mineralization, considering relevant factors such as cut-off grade, likely mining dimensions, location or continuity, that, with the assumed and justifiable technical and economic conditions, is likely to, in whole or in part, become economically extractable. A measured mineral resource is that part of the mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of conclusive geological evidence and sampling in sufficient detail to support detailed extraction planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit to be quarried or mined. An indicated mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of adequate geological evidence and sampling in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit of the material to be quarried or mined. Inferred mineral resources are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling.

A mineral reserve is an estimate of tonnage and grade or quality of indicated and measured mineral resources that, in the opinion of the qualified person, can be the basis of an economically viable project. More specifically, it is the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource, which includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined or extracted. A probable mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of an indicated and, in some cases, a measured mineral resource. A proven mineral reserve is the economically mineable part of a measured mineral resource and results only from the conversion of a measured mineral resource. The Company estimates proven and probable mineral reserves based on the results of drilling and testing completed by or under the supervision of qualified persons.

The Company uses various exploratory drilling methods, depending on the type of deposit, to estimate mineral reserves that are economically mineable. The extent of drilling varies depending on the complexity of the mineral deposit and whether the location is a potential new site (greensite), an existing location or a potential acquisition. More extensive drilling is performed for potential greensites and acquisitions, and, in certain cases, the Company may rely on existing geological data or results of prior drilling by reputable third parties. Subsequent to drilling, selected drill samples are tested by an accredited laboratory for soundness, abrasion resistance and other physical properties relevant to the aggregates industry. If the mineral reserves meet the Company’s standards and are economically mineable, they are either leased or purchased. Once in operation, routine quality control testing is performed to ensure the quality grade of aggregates continues to meet specifications.

In determining the amount of reserves, evaluations are completed by or under the supervision of qualified Company personnel using industry best practices and internal controls defined by the Company. Reserve estimates represent net tons after consideration of applicable losses incurred during mining and plant processing. The Company’s policy is to exclude from reserve estimates the portions of a mineral deposit that are not available due to property boundaries, set-backs and plant configurations, as deemed appropriate when estimating reserves. The Company uses the same methods of analysis to evaluate and estimate the amount of its mineral reserves used in the cement manufacturing process for its cement operations as it does for its aggregates operations. For additional information on the Company’s assessment of reserves, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Other Financial Information - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Property, Plant and Equipment included under Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Form 10-K. While the mineral reserve and resource classification categories (proven and probable) identify relative confidence of reserve estimates, there is inherent risk associated with such estimates. The Company bases estimates on the information known at the time of determination and regularly reevaluates reserves whenever new information indicates a material change in reserves at one of the Company’s sites.

In general, quarry and mining facilities must comply with air quality, water quality, noise regulations, zoning and special-use permitting requirements, applicable mining regulations, and federal health and safety requirements. As new quarry and mining sites are located and acquired, the Company works closely with local authorities during the zoning and permitting processes to design new quarries and mines in such a way as to minimize disturbances. The Company frequently acquires large tracts of land so that quarry, mine and production facilities can be situated substantial distances from surrounding property owners.

Set forth in the tables below are the Company’s estimates as of December 31, 2025 of proven and probable mineral reserves of aggregates (crushed stone and sand and gravel) and measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources of aggregates (exclusive of proven and probable reserves), shown on a geographic division basis. The East Division includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Canada and The Bahamas. The Central

Form 10-K ♦ Page 30

Part I ♦ Item 2 – Properties

Division includes Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Tennessee and West Virginia. The Southwest Division includes Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. The West Division includes Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The reserve estimates shown were determined to be economically mineable using a reasonable and justifiable price for salable product based on the average selling price for the year ended December 31, 2024 with respect to each division for each product category of aggregates resources. The Company’s estimate of resources and reserves of aggregates shown in the tables below includes resources and reserves that would be devoted for use in the Company’s cement product line and Specialties business.

The tons presented were determined to be economically mineable using the 2024 average selling price per ton for that product category in that geographic division. There is a range of selling prices for each product category and each geography that depend on the type of product, whether it is washed or not, and its end use. The average selling price per ton used for crushed stone for the East Division, Central Division, Southwest Division and West Division was $21.79, $20.13, $15.70 and $17.22, respectively. The average selling price per ton used for sand and gravel for the East Division, Central Division, Southwest Division and West Division was $12.72, $14.15, $18.74 and $20.70, respectively. These prices exclude any portion of revenues allocated to freight, including internal freight to ship products from a producing quarry to a distribution terminal and third-party freight to deliver product to a customer.

For the purposes of this table, the Company calculates its mineral reserves based on land that has been zoned for quarrying and land for which the Company has determined zoning is not required. The Company's reserves presented in the Central Division include dolomitic limestone reserves used in the Specialties business. The Company's reserves presented in the Southwest Division include limestone reserves used in the cement product line. The Company's reserves in the West Division include magnesite reserves used in the Specialties business.

♦ Information About Our Executive Officers

From time to time, claims of various types are asserted against the Company arising out of its operations in the normal course of business, including claims relating to land use and permits, safety, health, and environmental matters (such as noise abatement, blasting, vibrations, air emissions and water discharges). Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and it is not possible to determine the probable outcome of, or the amount of liability, if any, from these matters. In the opinion of management of the Company (which opinion is based in part upon consideration of the opinion of counsel), based upon currently-available facts, it is remote that the ultimate outcome of any litigation and other proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the overall results of the Company's operations, its cash flows or its financial condition. However, management cannot assure that an adverse outcome in any of such litigation would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its operating segments.

The Company was not required to pay any penalties in 2025 for failure to disclose certain “reportable transactions” under Section 6707A of the Internal Revenue Code.

INTRODUCTORY OVERVIEW

Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the Company or Martin Marietta) is a natural resource-based building materials company, with 2025 revenues of $6.2 billion and 2025 net earnings from continuing operations attributable to Martin Marietta of $990 million. These results were achieved in part by supplying aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel) through its network of approximately 400 quarries, mines and distribution yards in 28 states, Canada and The Bahamas. As of December 31, 2025, Martin Marietta also provides other building materials, namely, cement, ready mixed concrete, asphalt and paving services, in certain markets where the Company has a notable aggregates position. Specifically, the Company has one cement plant and four cement distribution facilities in Texas, ready mixed concrete plants in Arizona and Texas, and asphalt plants in Arizona, California, Colorado and Minnesota. Asphalt paving services are offered in Colorado.

On August 3, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Quikrete Holding, Inc. (QUIKRETE) for the exchange of certain assets. The pending disposal of the Company's cement plant, related cement terminals and Texas ready mixed concrete plants meets the criteria for held for sale and the associated financial results of these operations are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented (see Note B to the consolidated financial statements). The Company has recast all comparative prior-period financial information presented in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, unless otherwise noted, to reflect this presentation.

The Company’s heavy-side building materials are used in infrastructure, nonresidential and residential construction projects. Aggregates are also used in agricultural, utility and environmental applications and as railroad ballast. The aggregates and other building materials product lines are reported collectively as the “Building Materials” business.

Specialties

The Company operates a Specialties business (formerly known as the Magnesia Specialties business) which produces high‑purity natural and synthetic magnesia‑based products, including magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide, used in environmental, industrial, agricultural, construction, consumer and specialty applications. The Specialties business also produces dolomitic lime, which is sold primarily to external customers for use in steel production and soil stabilization, and is used internally as a raw material input in synthetic magnesia production. The July 2025 acquisition of Premier Magnesia expanded the Company’s product portfolio and enhanced its domestic magnesia mineral reserves and processing capabilities. Specialties’ production facilities are located in Michigan, Ohio, Nevada, North Carolina, Indiana and Pennsylvania, and products are shipped to customers domestically and worldwide.

Strategic Objectives

The Company’s strategic planning process, or Strategic Operating Analysis and Review (SOAR), provides the framework for execution of Martin Marietta’s long-term strategic plan. Guided by this framework and considering the cyclicality of the Building Materials business, the Company determines capital allocation priorities to maximize long-term shareholder value creation. The Company’s strategy includes ongoing evaluation of aggregates-led opportunities of scale in new domestic markets (i.e., platform acquisitions) and expansion through acquisitions that complement existing operations (i.e., bolt-on acquisitions). The Company finances such opportunities with the goal of preserving its financial flexibility by having a leverage ratio (consolidated net debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, earnings/loss from nonconsolidated equity affiliates and certain other adjustments as specified in the Results of Operations section, or Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA) within a range of 2.0 times to 2.5 times within a reasonable period of time (typically within 18 months) following the completion of a debt-financed transaction. SOAR also includes the identification and potential disposition of assets that are not consistent with stated strategic goals.

Part II ♦ Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company, by purposeful design, is an aggregates-led business that focuses on markets with strong, underlying growth fundamentals where it can sustain or achieve a leading market position. Aggregates gross profit represented 88% of 2025 total reportable segment gross profit. For Martin Marietta, other building materials operations are located where the Company has, or envisions, among other things, a clear path toward a leading aggregates position. The Company's portfolio also includes a highly complementary Specialties business that possesses aggregates-like characteristics.

Generally, the Company’s building materials are both sourced and sold locally. As a result, geography is critically important when assessing market attractiveness and growth opportunities. Attractive geographies generally exhibit (a) population growth and/or high population density, both of which are drivers of heavy-side building materials consumption; (b) business and employment diversity, drivers of greater economic stability; and (c) a superior state financial position, a driver of public infrastructure investment.

Population growth and density are typically assessed based on a site’s proximity to one of the 11 megaregions in the United States. Megaregions are large networks of metropolitan population centers covering thousands of square miles. According to America 2050, a planning and policy program of the Regional Plan Association, most of the nation’s population and economic growth through 2050 will occur in the megaregions. The Company has a meaningful presence in ten megaregions. As evidence of the successfu

As discussed earlier, the Company’s operations are highly dependent upon the interest rate-sensitive construction and steelmaking industries. Consequently, these marketplaces could experience lower levels of economic activity in an environment of rising interest rates or escalating costs (see Business Environment section included under Item 7 – MD&A of this Form 10-K).

Management has considered the current economic environment and its potential impact to the Company’s business. Demand for aggregates products, particularly in the infrastructure construction market, is affected by federal, state and local budget and deficit issues. Further, delays or cancellations of capital projects in the nonresidential and residential construction markets could occur if companies and consumers are unable to obtain affordable financing for construction projects or if consumer confidence is eroded by economic uncertainty.

Demand in the nonresidential and residential construction markets, which combined accounted for 58% of the Company's 2025 aggregates shipments, is affected by interest rates. While the Federal Reserve lowered the benchmark federal funds rate 75 basis points in 2025, the federal funds rate remains above the current rate of inflation, resulting in continued restrictive monetary policy.

Aside from these inherent risks from within its operations, the Company’s earnings are also affected by changes in short-term interest rates and changes in enacted tax laws.

Variable-Rate Borrowing Facilities

At December 31, 2025, the Company had an $800 million Revolving Facility and a $400 million Trade Receivable Facility. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest at a variable interest rate. A hypothetical 100-basis-point increase in interest rates on variable-rate borrowings of $30 million, which was the collective outstanding balance at December 31, 2025, would not increase annual interest expense by a material amount.

Pension Expense

The Company’s results of operations are affected by its pension expense. Assumptions that affect pension expense include the discount rate and, for the qualified defined benefit pension plan only, the expected long-term rate of return on pension assets. Therefore, the Company has interest rate risk associated with these factors. 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 Benefit Obligation and Pension Expense – Selection of Assumptions section included under Item 7 – MD&A of this Form 10-K.

Income Tax

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, cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.

Energy Costs

Energy costs, including diesel fuel, natural gas, electricity, coal and petroleum coke, represent significant production costs of the Company. The Company may be unable to pass along increases in the costs of energy to customers in the form of price increases for the Company’s products. The Specialties business has varying fixed-price agreements for a portion of its future energy requirements. A hypothetical 10% change in the Company’s energy prices in 2026 as compared with 2025, assuming constant volumes, would change 2026 energy expense for continuing operations by $29 million.

Statement of Responsibility and Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management’s Statement of Responsibility

The management of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the Company or Martin Marietta) is responsible for the consolidated financial statements, the related financial information contained in this Form 10-K and the establishment and maintenance of adequate internal control over financial reporting. The consolidated balance sheets for Martin Marietta, at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive earnings, total equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, include amounts based on estimates and judgments and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applied on a consistent basis.

A system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance, in a cost-effective manner, that assets are safeguarded, transactions are executed and recorded in accordance with management’s authorization, accountability for assets is maintained and financial statements are prepared and presented fairly in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Internal control systems over financial reporting have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

The Company operates in an environment that establishes an appropriate system of internal control over financial reporting and ensures that the system is maintained, assessed and monitored on a periodic basis. This internal control system includes examinations by internal audit staff and oversight by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

The Company’s management recognizes its responsibility to foster a strong ethical climate. Management has issued written policy statements that document the Company’s business code of ethics. The importance of ethical behavior is regularly communicated to all employees through the distribution of the Code of Ethical Business Conduct and through ongoing education and review programs designed to create a strong commitment to ethical business practices.

Part II ♦ Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of four independent, nonemployee directors, meets periodically and separately with management, the independent auditors and the internal auditors to review the activities of each. The Audit Committee meets standards established by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the New York Stock Exchange as they relate to the composition and practices of audit committees.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of Martin Marietta is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on management’s assessment under the 2013 framework, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

Management has excluded the internal control over financial reporting of Premier Magnesia, LLC from its assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, because this business was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2025 and has not been integrated into the Company’s existing systems and internal control over financial reporting. Those controls that were not integrated have been excluded from management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. The excluded elements represent controls for $114 million of consolidated assets and $107 million of consolidated revenues as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report appears on the following pages.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of December 31, 2025, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

The foregoing evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was based on the definition in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), which requires that disclosure controls and procedures are effectively designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management’s report on internal control over financial reporting is included as the Statement of Financial Responsibility and Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplemental Data of this Form 10-K. The Company’s management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as of December 31, 2025. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained herein, also audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. The audit report is included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Form 10-K.

Management has excluded the internal control over financial reporting of Premier Magnesia, LLC from its assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, because this business was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2025 and has not been integrated into the Company’s existing systems and internal control over financial reporting. Those controls that were not integrated have been excluded from management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. The excluded elements represent controls for $114 million of consolidated assets and $107 million of consolidated revenues as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that the Company’s control system will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance

Form 10-K ♦ Page 109

Part II ♦ Item 9A – Controls and Procedures

that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

CEO and CFO Certifications

Included among the exhibits to this Form 10-K are forms of “Certifications” of the Company’s CEO and CFO as required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certification”).
