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.

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.

Report of Independent Registe****red Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, of comprehensive earnings, of total equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 8. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Premier Magnesia, LLC from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination during 2025. We have also excluded Premier Magnesia, LLC from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Premier Magnesia, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total consolidated assets and total consolidated revenues excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting represent $114 million and $107 million, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Part II ♦ Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Valuation of the Projected Benefit Obligation - Defined Benefit Pension Plans
As described in Note J to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s net projected benefit obligation for defined benefit pension plans was $1,008 million as of December 31, 2025. 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 include the discount rate, rate of increase in future compensation levels, mortality table and mortality improvement scale. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the projected benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plans is a critical audit matter are the (i) significant judgment by management when developing the estimate of the projected benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plans; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumption related to the discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the valuation of the projected benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension plans. 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 of the projected benefit obligation for the defined benefit pension 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.

Aggregates are also used in agricultural, utility and environmental applications and as railroad ballast. The aggregates and other business materials product lines are reported collectively as the Building Materials business.
As of December 31, 2025, the Building Materials business includes two reportable segments: East Group and West Group. The East Group consists of the East and Central divisions and operates in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Nova Scotia and The Bahamas. The West Group is comprised of the Southwest and West divisions and operates in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The following ten states accounted for 76% of the Building Materials business’ 2025 revenues: Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Arizona, Iowa, and Minnesota.
The Company also operates a Specialties business (formerly known as the Magnesia Specialties business), which represents a separate reportable segment. The Specialties business 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 dolomitic magnesia mineral reserves and processing capabilities. Specialties’ production facilities are in Michigan, Ohio, Nevada, North Carolina, Indiana and Pennsylvania, and products are shipped to customers domestically and worldwide.
In August 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for the exchange of certain assets (see Note B). 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. The Company has recast all comparative prior-period financial information presented in the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements, unless otherwise noted, to reflect this presentation.
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, other intangible assets and other long-lived assets, as well as assumptions used in the calculation of income tax expense, retirement and postemployment benefits, stock-based compensation, the allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of business combinations and revenue recognition for service contracts. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s judgment. Management evaluates estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Changes in interest rates, credit, equity and energy markets and changes in construction activity increase the uncertainty inherent in certain estimates and assumptions. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Changes in estimates, including those resulting from changes in the economic environment, are reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

Part II ♦ Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Basis of Consolidation**.** The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Partially-owned affiliates are either consolidated or accounted for using the cost method or the equity method, depending on the level of ownership interest or the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence or control over the affiliates’ operations. Intercompany balances and transactions between subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition**.** Revenues include sales of products and services provided to customers, net of discounts or allowances, if any, and freight and delivery costs billed to customers. Product revenues are recognized when control of the promised good is transferred to unaffiliated customers, typically when finished products are shipped. Intersegment and interproduct revenues are eliminated in consolidation. Service revenues are derived from the paving business and are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method under the cost-to-cost approach. Under the cost-to-cost approach, recognized contract revenue is determined by multiplying the total estimated contract revenue by the estimated percentage of completion. Contract costs are recognized as incurred. The percentage of completion is determined on a contract-by-contract basis using project costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated project costs. The Company believes the cost-to-cost approach is appropriate, as the use of asphalt in a paving contract is relatively consistent with the performance of the related paving services. When the Company arranges third-party freight to deliver products to customers, the Company has elected the delivery to be a fulfillment activity rather than a separate performance obligation. Further, the Company acts as a principal in the delivery arrangements and, as required by Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), the related revenues and costs are presented gross in the consolidated statements of earnings and are recognized consistently with the timing of the product revenues.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash**.** Cash equivalents are comprised of highly-liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $10 million of restricted cash, which was invested in an account designated for the purchase of like-kind exchange replacement assets under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and related IRS procedures (Section 1031). The Company was restricted from utilizing the cash for purposes other than the purchase of qualified assets for 180 days from receipt of the proceeds from the sale of the exchanged property. Any unused restricted cash at the end of the 180 days was transferred to unrestricted accounts of the Company and used for general corporate purposes. The Company had no restricted cash as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The statements of cash flows reflect cash flow changes and balances for cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on an aggregated basis. The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as reported on the consolidated balance sheets to the aggregated amounts presented on the consolidated statements of cash flows:
| December 31 (in millions) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 67 | $ | 670 | $ | 1,272 | ||||||
| Restricted cash | — | — | 10 | |||||||||
| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows | $ | 67 | $ | 670 | $ | 1,282 |
Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable are stated at cost. The Company does not typically charge interest on customer accounts receivable. The Company records an allowance for credit losses, which includes a provision for probable losses based on historical write-offs, adjusted for current conditions as deemed necessary, and a specific reserve for accounts deemed at risk. Current conditions are assessed by considering factors such as changes in the economic environment, customer payment trends, and industry specific risks that may affect collectability. The allowance is the Company’s estimate for receivables as of the balance sheet date that ultimately will not be collected. Any changes in the allowance are reflected in earnings in the period in which the change occurs. The Company writes off accounts receivable when it becomes probable, based upon facts and circumstances, that such amounts will not be collected.
Inventories Valuation**.** Finished products and in-process inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using standard costs, which approximate the first-in, first-out method. Carrying value for parts and supplies are determined by the weighted-average cost method. The Company records an allowance for finished product inventories based on an analysis of future demand and inventory on hand in excess of one year's sales using an average of the last two years of sales. The Company also establishes an allowance for parts over five years old and supplies over a year old.

Part II ♦ Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Post-production stripping costs, which represent costs of removing overburden and waste materials to access mineral deposits, are a component of inventory production costs and recognized as incurred.
Property, Plant and Equipment**.** Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.
The estimated service lives for property, plant and equipment are as follows:
| Class of Assets | Range of Service Lives | |
| Buildings | 5 to 30 years | |
| Machinery & Equipment | 2 to 20 years | |
| Land Improvements | 5 to 60 years |
The Company begins capitalizing quarry development costs at a point when reserves are determined to be proven or probable, economically mineable and when demand supports investment in the market. Capitalization of these costs ceases when production commences. Capitalized quarry development costs are classified as land improvements and depreciated over the life of the reserves.
The Company reviews relevant facts and circumstances to determine whether to capitalize or expense pre-production stripping costs when additional pits are developed at an existing quarry. If the additional pit operates in a separate and distinct area of the quarry, these costs are capitalized as quarry development costs and depreciated over the life of the uncovered reserves. Additionally, a separate asset retirement obligation is created for additional pits when the liability is incurred. Once a pit enters the production phase, all post-production stripping costs are charged to inventory production costs as incurred.
Mineral reserves and mineral interests acquired in connection with a business combination are valued using an income approach for the estimated life of the reserves.
Depreciation is computed based on estimated service lives using the straight-line method. Depletion of mineral reserves is calculated based on proven and probable reserves using the units-of-production method on a quarry-by-quarry basis. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, depletion expense was $103 million, $78 million and $53 million, respectively.
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if expected future undiscounted cash flows over the estimated remaining service life of the related asset group are less than the asset group’s carrying value.
Repair and Maintenance Costs. Repair and maintenance costs that do not substantially extend the life of the Company’s plant and equipment are expensed as incurred.
Leases. Pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases (ASC 842), if the Company determines a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of an agreement, the Company records a right-of-use (ROU) asset, which represents the Company’s right to use an underlying leased asset, and a lease liability, which represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments. The ROU asset and lease liability are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. The Company determines the present value of lease payments based on the implicit interest rate, which may be explicitly stated in the lease, if available, or may be the Company’s estimated collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the term of the lease. Initial ROU assets also include any lease payments made at or before commencement date and any initial direct costs incurred and are reduced by lease incentives. Certain of the Company’s leases contain renewal and/or termination options. The Company recognizes renewal or termination options as part of its ROU assets and lease liabilities when the Company has the unilateral right to renew or terminate and it is reasonably certain these options will be exercised.
Some leases require the Company to pay non-lease components, which are primarily variable costs and may include taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other expenses applicable to the leased property. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single amount, except for railcar, fleet vehicle and pipeline leases, for which the Company separately accounts for the lease and non-lease components.
Leases are evaluated and determined to be either finance leases or operating leases. The lease is a finance lease if it transfers ownership to the underlying asset by the end of the lease term; includes a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised; has a lease term for the major part of the underlying asset's remaining economic life; has a present value of the sum of the lease payments (including renewal options) that equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; or is for an underlying asset that is of a specialized nature and is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. If none of these terms exist, the lease is an operating lease.
| Form 10-K ♦ Page 77 | |
Part II ♦ Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Leases with an initial lease term of one year or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. Costs for these leases are expensed as incurred.
In the consolidated statements of earnings, operating lease expense, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and the amortization of finance lease ROU assets are included in the Cost of revenues or Selling, general and administrative expenses line items in the consolidated statements of earnings. Accretion on the liabilities for finance leases is included in interest expense.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid for acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities. Other intangible assets represent amounts assigned principally to contractual agreements and are either amortized ratably over the useful lives to the Company or not amortized if deemed to have an indefinite useful life. The Company intends, and believes it has the ability, to renew royalty agreements and extend permits that support the value of certain intangible assets.
The Company’s reporting units, which represent the level at which goodwill is tested for impairment, are based on the operating segments of the Building Materials and Specialties businesses. Goodwill is assigned to the respective reporting unit(s) based on the location of acquisitions at the time of consummation. If subsequent organizational changes result in operations being transferred to a different reporting unit, a proportionate amount of goodwill is transferred from the former to the new reporting unit. For divestitures, goodwill is allocated on a proportional basis based on the relative fair values of the portion of the reporting unit being disposed of and the portion of the reporting unit remaining.
Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing each reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value, which represents a Step-1 approach. However, prior to Step 1, the Company may perform a qualitative assessment and evaluate macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other business or reporting unit-specific events that contribute to the fair value of a reporting unit. If the Company concludes, based on its qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that a reporting unit’s fair value is higher than its carrying value, the Company is not required to perform any further goodwill impairment testing for that reporting unit. Otherwise, the Company proceeds to Step 1, and if a reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying value, there is no impairment. A reporting unit with a carrying value in excess of its fair value results in an impairment charge equal to the difference. When the Company validates its conclusion by measuring fair value, it may resume performing a qualitative assessment for a reporting unit in any subsequent period. The Company may bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly with the quantitative calculation in Step 1.
The Company reviews the carrying values of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of October 1, which represents the annual evaluation date. An interim review is performed between annual tests if facts and circumstances indicate potential impairment. The carrying value of other amortizable intangible assets is reviewed if facts and circumstances indicate potential impairment. If a review indicates the carrying value is impaired, a charge is recorded equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Retirement Plans and Postretirement Benefits. The Company sponsors defined benefit retirement plans and provides other postretirement benefits. The Company recognizes the funded status, defined as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation, of its pension plans and other postretirement benefits as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The measurement date for the Company’s defined benefit plans and postretirement benefit plans is December 31. Actuarial gains or losses that arise during the year are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings or loss. Those amounts are amortized over the participants’ average remaining service period and recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost. The amount amortized is determined on a plan-by-plan basis using a corridor approach and represents the excess over 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or pension plan assets.
Insurance Accruals. The Company has insurance coverage with deductibles for workers’ compensation, automobile liability, marine liability and general liability claims, and is also self-insured for health claims. The Company records insurance accruals based on an actuarially-determined analysis, which calculates development factors that are applied to total case reserves within the insurance programs. While the Company believes the assumptions used to calculate these liabilities are appropriate, significant differences in actual experience and/or significant changes in these assumptions may materially affect insurance costs.
| Form 10-K ♦ Page 78 | |
Part II ♦ Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Stock-Based Compensation. The Company has stock-based compensation plans for employees and its Board of Directors. The Company recognizes all forms of stock-based awards that vest as compensation expense. The compensation expense is the fair value of the awards at the measurement date and is recognized over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
The fair value of restricted stock awards, incentive compensation stock awards and Board of Directors’ fees paid in the form of common stock are based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant dates. The fair value of performance stock awards as of the grant dates is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation methodology.
Environmental Matters. The Company records a liability for an asset retirement obligation at fair value in the period in which it is incurred. The asset retirement obligation is recorded at the acquisition date of a long-lived tangible asset if the fair value can be reasonably estimated. A corresponding amount is capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying amount. The fair value is affected by management’s assumptions regarding the scope of the work, inflation rates and asset retirement dates.
Further, the Company records an accrual for other environmental remediation liabilities in the period in which it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the appropriate amounts can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. Generally, these costs are not discounted to their present value or offset for potential insurance or other claims or potential gains from future alternative uses for a site.
Income Taxes**.** The Company uses the liability method to determine its current and deferred incomes taxes. Deferred income taxes, net, on the consolidated balance sheets reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The effect of changes in enacted tax rates on deferred income tax assets and liabilities is charged or credited to income tax expense in the period of enactment.
The Company applies the proportional amortization method to equity investments in renewable energy tax credit (RETC) programs that meet the following specified criteria: it is probable that the income tax credits allocable to the Company will be available; the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the underlying project; substantially all of the projected benefits are from income tax credits and other income tax benefits, as determined on a discounted basis; the Company's projected yield based solely on the cash flows from the income tax credits and other income tax benefits is positive; and the Company is a limited liability investor in the limited liability entity for both legal and tax purposes and its liability is limited to its capital investment. Under the proportional amortization method, the equity investment is amortized in proportion to the income tax credits and other income tax benefits received, with the amortization expense and the income tax benefits presented on a net basis in the line item Income tax expense in the consolidated statements of earnings. The RETC investments are included in the line item Other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets and the line item Investments in limited liability companies on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Uncertain Tax Positions. The Company recognizes a tax benefit when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that a tax position would be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. The amount to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets or as an offset to the deferred tax asset for tax carryforwards where available.
The Company records interest accrued in relation to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, are recorded as operating expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings.
Sales Taxes. The Company is deemed to be an agent when collecting sales taxes from customers. Sales taxes collected from customers are recorded as liabilities until remitted to taxing authorities and therefore are not reflected in the consolidated statements of earnings as revenues and expenses.
Start-Up Costs. Noncapital start-up costs for new facilities and products are charged to operations as incurred.
Consolidated Comprehensive Earnings and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Earnings (Loss). Consolidated comprehensive earnings (loss) consist of consolidated net earnings, adjustments for the funded status of pension and postretirement benefit plans and foreign currency translation adjustments and are presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive earnings.
Accumulated other comprehensive earnings (loss) consists of unrecognized gains and losses related to the funded status of the pension and postretirement benefit plans and foreign currency translation and is presented on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings Per Common Share**.** The numerator for basic and diluted earnings per common share is net earnings attributable to Martin Marietta. The denominator for basic earnings per common share is the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed assuming that the weighted-average number of common shares is increased by the conversion, using the treasury stock method, of awards issued to employees and nonemployee members of the Company’s Board of Directors under certain stock-based compensation arrangements if the conversion is dilutive.
The following table reconciles the denominator for basic and diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share:

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made in the Company's financial statements and related notes of the prior years to conform to the current-year presentation, including recasting to reflect assets held for sale and discontinued operations. The reclassifications had no impact on the Company's previously reported results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
New Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires public entities to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular tax rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts, disaggregated into specified categories. Certain reconciling items are further disaggregated by nature and jurisdiction to the extent those items exceed a specified threshold. Additionally, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign taxes and by individual jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income tax payments, net of refunds received. The ASU also requires additional qualitative disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 as of December 31, 2025 and applied the disclosure requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented in these financial statements (see Note I). The adoption had no impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE), which requires public entities to disaggregate any relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations into the following required natural expense categories, as applicable: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities or other depletion expenses. These disclosures must be made in a tabular format in the notes to the financial statements. The new standard does not change the requirements for the presentation of expenses on the face of the statement of earnings. The ASU is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The ASU will impact the Company's expense disclosures beginning with the financial statements included in the 2027 Annual Report on Form 10-K, but will have no impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

QUIKRETE Holdings, Inc. On August 3, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Quikrete Holdings, Inc. (QUIKRETE) for the exchange of certain assets. Under the agreement, Martin Marietta will receive aggregates facilities producing approximately 20 million tons annually in Virginia, Missouri, Kansas and Vancouver, British Columbia, as well as cash proceeds. In exchange, QUIKRETE will 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 allow the Company to expand into new growth platforms in the target markets of Virginia and the Pacific Northwest.
Business Combinations (2024)
Revenues and pretax earnings attributable to operations acquired in 2024 (as subsequently described) included in the Company's consolidated statement of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $261 million and $38 million, respectively. Pretax earnings attributable to acquired operations for 2024 reflected the impact of selling acquired inventory after its markup to fair value as part of acquisition accounting, including $20 million related to the Blue Water Industries LLC transaction.
Blue Water Industries LLC. 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 allowing the Company to expand into new growth platforms in target markets, including Tennessee and South Florida. The results from the acquired operations are reported in the Company's East Group.
The Company determined the acquisition-date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Notably, during the measurement period, which was closed as of April 5, 2025, the Company increased the acquisition-date fair value of property, plant and equipment by $91 million and reduced goodwill by $83 million. The goodwill generated by the transaction is not deductible for income tax purposes.

On December 1, 2025, the Company used available liquidity to repay the $125 million of 7% Debentures at maturity.
On November 4, 2024, the Company issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.150% Senior Notes due 2034 (the 5.150% Senior Notes due 2034) and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Senior Notes due 2054 (the 5.500% Senior Notes due 2054). A portion of the net proceeds of the 5.150% Senior Notes due 2034 and 5.500% Senior Notes due 2054 were used for the repayment of all borrowings outstanding under the Company’s short-term borrowing facilities. The remaining net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, land purchases and other capital needs.
The Company’s 3.450% Senior Notes due 2027, 3.500% Senior Notes due 2027, 2.500% Senior Notes due 2030, 2.400% Senior Notes due 2031, 5.150% Senior Notes due 2034, 6.25% Senior Notes due 2037, 4.250% Senior Notes due 2047, 3.200% Senior Notes due 2051 and 5.500% Senior Notes due 2054 (collectively, the Senior Notes) are senior unsecured obligations of the Company, ranking equal in right of payment with the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness. The Senior Notes, with the exception of the 6.25% Senior Notes due 2037, are redeemable prior to their respective par call dates, as defined, at a make-whole redemption price, and at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount after their respective par call dates and prior to their respective maturity dates. The 6.25% Senior Notes due 2037 are redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time at a make-whole redemption price. Upon a change-of-control repurchase event and a resulting below-investment-grade credit rating, the Company would be required to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding Senior Notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
The Senior Notes are carried net of original issue discount, which is being amortized by the effective interest method over the life of the issue. The principal amount as of December 31, 2025, effective interest rate and maturity date for the Senior Notes are as follows:

Part II ♦ Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The Company has a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., PNC Bank, N.A., Truist Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agents, and the lenders party thereto (the Credit Agreement), which provides for a $800 million five-year senior unsecured revolving facility (the Revolving Facility) with a maturity date of December 21, 2030. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at rates based upon the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or a base rate, plus, for each rate, a margin determined in accordance with a ratings-based pricing grid. Any outstanding principal amounts, together with interest accrued thereon, are due in full on that maturity date. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Available borrowings under the Revolving Facility are reduced by any outstanding letters of credit issued by the Company under the Revolving Facility. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $3 million of outstanding letters of credit issued and $797 million available for borrowing under the Revolving Facility. The Company paid the bank group an upfront loan commitment fee that is being amortized over the life of the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Facility includes an annual facility fee.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company’s ratio of consolidated net debt-to-consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, as defined, for the trailing-twelve months (the Ratio) to not exceed 3.50x as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Company may exclude from the Ratio any debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions during the quarter or three preceding quarters so long as the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 4.00x. Additionally, if no amounts are outstanding under the Revolving Facility or the Company's trade receivable securitization facility (discussed later), consolidated debt, as defined, which includes debt for which the Company is a guarantor, shall be reduced in an amount equal to the lesser of $500 million or the sum of the Company’s unrestricted cash and temporary investments, for purposes of the covenant calculation. The Company was in compliance with the Ratio at December 31, 2025.
The Company, through a wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary, has a $400 million trade receivable securitization facility (the Trade Receivable Facility). On September 16, 2025, the Company extended the maturity to September 16, 2026. The Trade Receivable Facility, with Truist Bank, Regions Bank, First Citizens Bank & Trust Company, and certain other lenders that may become a party to the facility from time to time, is backed by eligible trade receivables, as defined. Borrowings are limited to the lesser of the facility limit or the borrowing base, as defined. These receivables are originated by the Company and then sold or contributed to the wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary. The Company continues to be responsible for the servicing and administration of the receivables purchased by the wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary. Borrowings under the Trade Receivable Facility bear interest at a rate equal to Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Adjusted Term SOFR), as defined, plus 0.7%. The Trade Receivable Facility contains a cross-default provision to the Company’s other debt agreements. Subject to certain conditions, including lenders providing the requisite commitments, the Trade Receivable Facility may be increased to a borrowing base not to exceed $600 million.
The Company’s long-term debt maturities for each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

Note H: Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include temporary cash investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, Trade Receivable Facility borrowings, publicly-registered long-term notes and debentures.
Temporary cash investments are placed primarily in money market funds, money market demand deposit accounts and Eurodollar time deposit accounts with financial institutions. The Company’s cash equivalents have maturities of less than three months. Due to the short maturity of these investments, they are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at cost, which approximates fair value.

Part II ♦ Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Accounts receivable are due from a large number of customers, primarily in the construction industry, and are dispersed across wide geographic and economic regions. However, accounts receivable are more heavily concentrated in certain states, namely Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Arizona, Iowa, and Minnesota. The carrying values of accounts receivable approximates their fair values.
Accounts payable represent amounts owed to suppliers and vendors. The estimated carrying value of accounts payable approximates its fair value due to the short-term nature of the payables.
The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s debt were $5.3 billion and $4.9 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2025 and $5.4 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2024 (see Note G). Due to its short-term nature, the carrying value of Trade Receivable Facility borrowings approximates its fair value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s publicly-registered long-term debt was estimated based on Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy using quoted market prices.

a) State taxes in California, Minnesota, Colorado, Texas, Georgia, and Florida made up the majority (greater than 50 percent) of the tax effect in this category in 2025; state taxes in California, Texas, and Colorado made up the majority of the tax effect in this category in 2024; and state taxes in Texas, California, Colorado, and Minnesota made up the majority of the tax effect in this category in 2023.
The effect of changes in tax laws or rates enacted in the current period and changes in valuation allowances are immaterial.
The higher 2024 effective income tax rate versus 2025 and 2023 was driven by the impact of the February 2024 divestiture of the South Texas cement business and certain related ready mixed concrete operations, which included the write-off of certain nondeductible goodwill.
The statutory depletion deduction for all years is calculated as a percentage of revenues, subject to certain limitations. Due to these limitations, changes in the sales volumes and pretax earnings may not proportionately affect the Company’s statutory depletion deduction and the corresponding impact on the effective income tax rate.
The Company invests in renewable energy investment entities which qualify for tax credits and other tax benefits and are accounted for under the proportional amortization method. For the year ended December 31, 2025, amortization of these investments plus income recapture, which are included in the line item Income tax expense in the consolidated statements of earnings, were $128 million and $5 million, respectively, and offset by $125 million of tax credits and $15 million of other tax benefits. For the year ended December 31, 2024, amortization plus income recapture of similar investments were $148 million and $16 million, respectively, offset by $153 million of tax credits and $17 million of other tax benefits. For the year ended December 31, 2023, amortization plus income recapture of similar investments were $26 million and $1 million, respectively, offset by $24 million of tax credits and $2 million of other tax benefits. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has committed to additional equity contributions of $51 million for tax equity investments related to RETC projects, which are expected to be paid in 2026.

The Internal Revenue Service provided certain disaster tax relief for North Carolina businesses affected by Hurricanes Debby and Helene, which allowed the Company to defer estimated federal and certain state income, payroll and excise tax payments for the period from August 2024 through September 2025. The deferred obligation was paid on September 25, 2025.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) that, among other provisions, makes 100% bonus depreciation permanent, restores the ability to expense domestic research expenditures, and modifies the taxation of foreign earnings. The OBBBA is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's annual estimated income tax rate, but results in a reclassification between current taxes payable and deferred tax liabilities which is reflected in the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company had immaterial gross domestic federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company had gross domestic state NOL carryforwards of $42 million and $24 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The domestic federal and state carryforwards have various expiration dates through 2045. The Company also had immaterial domestic state tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2025 and 2024, which have various expiration dates through 2045.
The Company expects to reinvest the earnings from its wholly-owned Canadian and Bahamian subsidiaries indefinitely, and accordingly, has not provided deferred taxes on the subsidiaries’ undistributed net earnings or basis differences. The Company believes that the tax liability that would be incurred upon repatriation of the foreign earnings was immaterial at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits are immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Unrecognized tax benefits are reversed as a discrete event if an examination of applicable tax returns is not initiated by a federal or state tax authority within the statute of limitations or upon effective settlement with federal or state tax authorities. Management believes its accrual for unrecognized tax benefits is sufficient to cover uncertain tax positions reviewed during audits by taxing authorities.
The Company’s tax years subject to federal, state or foreign examinations are 2021 through 2025.

Note J: Retirement and Other Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Retirement Plans. The Company sponsors defined benefit retirement plans that cover substantially all employees. Defined retirement benefits for salaried employees are based on each employee’s years of service and average compensation for a specified period of time before retirement. Defined retirement benefits for hourly employees are generally stated amounts for specified periods of service.
The Company sponsors a Supplemental Excess Retirement Plan (SERP) that generally provides for the payment of retirement benefits in excess of allowable Internal Revenue Code limits. The SERP generally provides for a lump-sum payment of vested benefits. When these benefit payments exceed the sum of the service and interest costs for the SERP during a year, the Company recognizes a pro rata portion of the SERP’s unrecognized actuarial loss as settlement expense.
The net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit plans includes the following components:
| years ended December 31 (in millions) | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |||||||||

The components of net periodic benefit cost, other than service cost, are included in the line item Other nonoperating income, net, in the consolidated statements of earnings. Based on the roles of the employees, service cost is included in Cost of revenues or Selling, general and administrative expenses line items in the consolidated statements of earnings.
The expected return on assets is calculated by applying an annually selected expected long-term rate of return assumption to the estimated fair value of the plan assets during the year, giving consideration to contributions and benefits paid.

The expected long-term rate of return on pension fund assets is based on the current asset class mix of the Company's pension plan assets, current capital market conditions and a stochastic forecast of future conditions.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company estimated the remaining lives of participants in the pension plans using the Pri-2012 Base tables. The no-collar table was used for salaried participants and the blue-collar table was used for hourly participants; the tables were adjusted to reflect both the mortality experience of the Company’s participants and a geospatial mortality analysis. The Company used the MP-2020 mortality improvement scale for 2025 and 2024.
Retirement plan assets are invested in listed stocks, bonds, real estate, private infrastructure and cash equivalents. The target allocation for 2025 and the actual pension plan asset allocation by asset class are as follows:

These investments are common collective investment trusts valued using the net asset value (NAV) unit price provided by the fund administrator. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund.
Real estate investments are stated at estimated fair value, which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Real estate investments are valued at NAV based on the plan’s proportionate shares of the real estate funds’ fair value as recorded by the trustees/general partner of the funds. The funds are real estate investment trust based funds that offer participation in an actively managed, primarily core portfolio of equity real estate. The funds allocate gains, losses and expenses to investors based on the ownership percentage to determine the NAV. Private infrastructure assets represent investments in a fund that is stated at fair value. For financial assets in the fund that are actively traded in organized financial markets, fair value is based on exchange-quoted market prices. For investments in the fund for which there is no quoted market price, fair value is determined by the trustees/general partner of the fund based on discounted expected future cash flows prepared by third-party professionals.
In 2025 and 2024, the Company made combined pension plan and SERP contributions of $42 million and $34 million, respectively. The Company currently estimates that it will contribute $25 million to its pension and SERP plans in 2026.

The Company’s matching obligations were $23 million in 2025 and $22 million in both 2024 and 2023.
Note K: Stock-Based Compensation
On May 19, 2016, the Company’s shareholders approved the Martin Marietta Amended and Restated Stock-Based Award Plan. The Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. Stock-Based Award Plan, as amended from time to time, along with the Amended Omnibus Securities Award Plan, originally approved in 1994 (collectively, the Plans), are still effective for awards made prior to 2017. The Company has been authorized by the Board of Directors to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance under the stock-based award plans (see Note M).
The Company grants restricted stock awards under the Plans to a group of executive officers, key personnel and nonemployee members of the Board of Directors. The vesting of certain restricted stock awards is based on certain performance criteria over a specified period of time. The number of shares may be increased to the maximum or reduced to the minimum threshold based on the results of those criteria. In addition, certain awards are granted to individuals to encourage retention and motivate key employees. These awards generally vest if the employee is continuously employed over a specified period of time and require no payment from the employee. Awards granted to nonemployee members of the Board of Directors vest immediately.
The fair value of stock-based award grants is expensed over the vesting period. Awards to employees eligible for retirement prior to the award becoming fully vested are expensed over the period through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn the award. Awards granted to nonemployee members of the Board of Directors are expensed immediately.
Additionally, an incentive compensation stock plan has been adopted under the Plans whereby certain participants may elect to use up to 50% of their annual incentive compensation to acquire units representing shares of the Company’s common stock at a 20% discount to the market value on the date of the incentive compensation award. Participants receive unrestricted shares of common stock in an amount equal to their respective units generally at the end of a 34-month period of additional employment from the date of award or at retirement beginning at age 62. All rights of ownership of the common stock convey to the participants upon the issuance of their respective shares at the end of the ownership-vesting period.
In 2026, the Company intends to submit to shareholders for approval a further Amended and Restated Stock-Based Award Plan. If approved, this updated plan will replace the existing stock-based award plans with respect to future grants while maintaining the validity of all outstanding awards previously issued under the current Plans.

The aggregate intrinsic values for unvested service-based and performance-based restricted stock awards of $157 million and unvested incentive compensation stock awards of $4 million at December 31, 2025 were based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock at December 31, 2025, which was $622.66. The aggregate intrinsic values of service-based and performance-based restricted stock awards distributed during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $74 million, $76 million and $48 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic values of incentive compensation stock awards distributed during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $1 million, $4 million and $4 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic values for distributed awards were based on the closing prices of the Company’s common stock on the dates of distribution.
Prior to 2016, under the Plans, the Company granted options to employees to purchase its common stock at a price equal to the closing market value at the date of grant. Options became exercisable in four annual installments beginning one year after date of grant. Outstanding options expired ten years after the grant date.

At December 31, 2025, there were approximately 0.3 million awards available for grant under the Plans.
In 1996, the Company adopted the Shareholder Value Achievement Plan to award shares of the Company’s common stock to key senior employees based on certain common stock performance criteria over a long-term period. As of December 31, 2025, 0.2 million shares of common stock remain reserved for issuance. No awards have been granted under this plan since 2000.

The Company adopted and the shareholders approved the Common Stock Purchase Plan for Directors in 1996, which provides nonemployee members of the Board of Directors the election to receive all or a portion of their total fees in the form of the Company’s common stock. Beginning in 2016, members of the Board of Directors were not required to defer any of their fees in the form of the Company’s common stock.

Note N: Commitments and Contingencies
Legal and Administrative Proceedings. The Company is engaged in certain legal and administrative proceedings incidental to its normal business activities. In the opinion of management and counsel, based upon currently available facts, the likelihood is remote that the ultimate outcome of any litigation and other proceedings, including those pertaining to environmental matters (see Note A), relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, will have a material adverse effect on the overall results of the Company’s operations, its cash flows or its financial position.
Asset Retirement Obligations. The Company incurs reclamation and teardown costs as part of its mining and production processes. Estimated future obligations are discounted to their present value and accreted to their projected future obligations via charges to operating expenses. Additionally, the fixed assets recorded concurrently with the liabilities are depreciated over the period until retirement activities are expected to occur.

Environmental operating permits are, or may be, required for certain of the Company’s operations, and such permits are subject to modification, renewal and revocation. The Company regularly monitors and reviews its operations, procedures and policies for compliance with these laws and regulations. Despite these compliance efforts, risk of environmental remediation liability is inherent in the operation of the Company’s businesses, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses. The Company has no material provisions for environmental remediation liabilities and does not believe such liabilities will have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future.

| Form 10-K ♦ Page 102 | |
Part II ♦ Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
the Building Materials business and Specialties segment. Within the Specialties segment, 59% of hourly employees are represented by labor unions. The Company’s principal union contracts for the Specialties segment cover employees at the Manistee, Michigan, magnesia-based chemicals plant, the Woodville, Ohio, lime plant and the Gabbs, Nevada, magnesia mine and processing plant. The Woodville, Manistee and Gabbs collective bargaining agreements expire in June 2026, August 2027 and June 2028, respectively.
Note O: Segments
As of December 31, 2025, the Building Materials business is comprised of four divisions that represent individual operating segments. These operating segments are consolidated into two reportable segments, the East Group and the West Group, for financial reporting purposes, as they meet the aggregation criteria. The Specialties business represents an individual operating and reportable segment. The accounting policies used for segment reporting are the same as those described in Note A.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews results by reportable segment on a quarterly basis and allocates resources to achieve the Company’s strategic objectives based on an evaluation of each reportable segment’s performance. This evaluation is largely based on segment earnings from operations, as management believes this is the best metric of segment profitability and operating performance. Segment earnings from operations is also a measure in the determination of incentive compensation targets and awards. Segment earnings from operations include revenues less cost of revenues; selling, general and administrative expenses; other operating income and expenses, net; and exclude interest income and expense; other nonoperating income and expenses, net; and income tax expense. The significant expense categories shown below align with the segment-level information regularly provided to the CODM. Other costs of revenues for each reportable segment include mainly repairs and maintenance, contract services, supplies and royalties.
Corporate loss from operations primarily includes depreciation and amortization of corporate assets; expenses for corporate administrative functions; acquisition, divestiture and integration expenses; and other nonrecurring income and expenses not attributable to operations of the Company's other operating segments.
Earnings from operations for the West Group included an asset and portfolio rationalization charge of $21 million (see note R) in 2025; a $1.3 billion gain and $16 million of transaction expenses in 2024 and $6 million of transaction expenses in 2023 on the divestiture of the South Texas cement business and certain of its related ready mixed concrete operations (see Note B); and an asset and portfolio rationalization charge of $50 million (see Note R) in 2024.
The following tables display selected financial data for the Company’s reportable segments and reflect continuing operations only. Revenues, as presented on the consolidated statements of earnings, reflect the elimination of intersegment revenues, which represent sales from one segment to another segment and are immaterial. Income tax expense is not allocated to the Company's reportable segments.

Assets employed by segment include assets directly identified with those operations, including assets held for sale. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash; property, plant and equipment for corporate operations; and other assets not directly identifiable with a reportable segment. Assets held for sale associated with discontinued operations are predominantly included in the West Group. The increase in assets employed in the Specialties segment is primarily due to the Premier acquisition (see Note B). The decrease in assets employed in the Corporate segment primarily relates to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

Effective September 30, 2025, the Company combined the cement and ready mixed concrete and the asphalt and paving services product lines (hereinafter, other building materials). This change was driven by the reduced significance of each of these product lines relative to revenues from continuing operations and earnings from continuing operations as a result of the pending divestiture of the Company's Midlothian cement plant, related cement terminals and Texas ready mixed concrete plants (see Note B) and associated reclassification of these revenues and earnings to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The above information for 2024 and 2023 has been reclassified to conform to current-year presentation. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the cement and ready mixed concrete product line reported revenues of $1.1 billion and gross profit of $260 million (of which, $874 million and $242 million, respectively, are classified as discontinued operations) and the asphalt and paving services product line reported revenues of $869 million and gross profit of $101 million. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the cement and ready mixed concrete product line reported revenues of $1.5 billion and gross profit of $436 million (of which, $1.0 billion and $276 million, respectively, are classified as discontinued operations) and the asphalt and paving services product line reported revenues of $887 million and gross profit of $109 million.
Domestic and foreign revenues are as follows:

Performance Obligations. Performance obligations are contractual promises to transfer or provide a distinct good or service for a stated price. The Company’s product sales agreements are single-performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time, and customer payment terms are generally 30 days from the invoice date. Performance obligations within paving service agreements are satisfied over time, primarily ranging from one day to two years. Customer payments for the paving operations are based on a contractual billing schedule and are typically "paid-when-paid", meaning the Company is paid once the customer is paid.
Future revenues from unsatisfied performance obligations at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $162 million, $255 million and $251 million, respectively, where the remaining periods to complete these obligations ranged from one month to 24 months at December 31, 2025, one month to 36 months at December 31, 2024 and one month to 22 months at December 31, 2023.

Note R: Other Operating Income, Net
Other operating income, net, is comprised generally of gains and losses on divestitures and the sale of assets; asset and portfolio rationalization charges; recoveries and losses related to certain customer accounts receivable; recoveries and losses on the resolution of contingency accruals; rental, royalty and services income; and accretion expense, depreciation expense, and gains and losses related to asset retirement obligations. These net amounts represented income of $6 million, $1.3 billion and $25 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
In 2025, other operating income, net, included $18 million of gains on land sales, which were offset by a $21 million pretax asset and portfolio rationalization charge primarily related to the discontinuation of five operations in the West Group that are no longer commercially viable.
In 2024, other operating income, net, included a $1.3 billion pretax gain on the divestiture of the South Texas cement business and certain of its related ready mixed concrete operations and $28 million of gains on land sales, which were partially offset by a $50 million pretax asset and portfolio rationalization charge. The 2024 asset and portfolio rationalization charge relates to the Company's decision to discontinue usage of certain long-haul distribution facilities to transport aggregates products into Colorado because the AFS acquisition completed in January 2024 provides more economical, local aggregates supply. This charge, which is reported in the West Group, reflects the Company's evaluation of the recoverability of certain long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, for the cessation of these railroad operations.
In 2023, other operating income, net, included $20 million of gains on land sales.
Note S: Other Nonoperating Income, Net
Other nonoperating income, net, is comprised generally of interest income; foreign currency transaction gains and losses; pension and postretirement benefit cost (excluding service cost); net equity earnings from nonconsolidated investments and other miscellaneous income and expenses. Other nonoperating income, net, was $19 million, $56 million and $58 million in 2025, 2024

and 2023, respectively. In 2025, other nonoperating income, net, included $10 million of interest income and $13 million of third-party railroad track maintenance expense. In 2024, other nonoperating income, net, included $40 million of interest income and $10 million of third-party railroad track maintenance expense.
