Tom Hill, Vulcan Materials' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The combination of our aggregates-led business and our consistent focus on our Vulcan Way of Selling and Vulcan Way of Operating disciplines resulted in strong earnings growth and margin expansion in the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 27 percent, and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 420 basis points over the prior year. Aggregates cash gross profit per ton improved 20 percent with widespread improvements across our footprint. Our commercial and operational execution support our full-year outlook to deliver another year of earnings growth in 2025."

First Quarter Segment Results

Aggregates

Segment gross profit increased 18 percent to $357 million ($7.48 per ton), and gross profit margin expanded 320 basis points to 26.7 percent. Cash gross profit per ton increased 20 percent to $10.63 per ton resulting from geographically widespread pricing growth and improving operational efficiencies. On a trailing-twelve months basis, cash gross profit per ton was $10.99, marking the ninth consecutive quarter of double-digit compounding improvement in unit profitability.

Aggregates shipments decreased 1 percent as compared to the prior year's first quarter. Shipments from acquisitions partially offset one less shipping day in the quarter and challenging weather, particularly in February.

Price increases effective at the beginning of the year resulted in another quarter of attractive growth. Freight-adjusted selling prices increased 7 percent (mix-adjusted pricing increased 8.5 percent) as compared to the prior year. Freight-adjusted unit cash cost of sales decreased 3 percent ($0.33 per ton) as a result of continued operational cost discipline and moderating inflationary pressures.

Asphalt and Concrete

Asphalt segment gross profit was $5 million, and cash gross profit was $17 million, a 24 percent improvement over the prior year. Shipments increased 4 percent, and price improved 4 percent, resulting in 19 percent improvement in unit cash gross profit. Concrete segment gross profit was $3 million, and cash gross profit was $19 million. Unit cash gross profit increased 77 percent through a combination of improvement in the legacy business and the benefit of acquired operations. Shipments improved 15 percent, and price improved 4 percent versus the prior year.

Selling, Administrative and General (SAG) and Other Items

SAG expense of $138 million was in line with the Company's expectations for the first quarter. On a trailing-twelve months basis, SAG expense as a percent of total revenues was flat compared to the prior year at 7.2 percent.

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Allocation

Capital expenditures for maintenance and growth projects were $105 million in the first quarter. For the full year, the Company expects to spend $750 to $800 million for maintenance and growth projects.

During the quarter, the Company returned $104 million to shareholders through $66 million of dividends and $38 million of common stock repurchases. The Company also used $400 million of cash on hand to redeem its 2025 notes, resulting in a ratio of total debt to trailing-twelve months Adjusted EBITDA of 2.3 times, or 2.2 times on a net debt basis. On a trailing-twelve months basis, return on average invested capital was 16.2 percent.

The Company remains well positioned for continued growth with a strong liquidity position and balance sheet profile.

Outlook

Regarding the Company's outlook, Mr. Hill said, "Our execution in the first quarter was strong, and we reiterate our full-year outlook to deliver $2.35 to $2.55 billion of Adjusted EBITDA. We continue to monitor the impact on overall economic activity from the uncertainty surrounding trade policy and the trajectory of interest rates. As always, we are focused on the things we can control. Our continued execution of our strategic disciplines has and will continue to lead to attractive cash generation and value creation for our shareholders regardless of external headwinds."

costs that we pass along to our customers, and service revenues related to aggregates.
² Includes product sales, as well as service revenues from our asphalt construction paving business.
³ Freight-adjusted revenues are Aggregates segment sales excluding freight & delivery revenues and
other revenues related to services, such as landfill tipping fees, that are derived from our aggregates business.
⁴ Freight-adjusted sales price is calculated as freight-adjusted revenues divided by aggregates unit shipments.
⁵ Sales price is calculated by dividing revenues generated from the shipment of product (excluding service revenues
generated by the segments) by total units of the product shipped.

			Appendix 1
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Aggregates segment freight-adjusted revenues is not a Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) measure and should not be considered as an alternative to metrics defined by GAAP. We present this metric as it is consistent with the basis by which we review our operating results. We believe that this presentation is consistent with our competitors and meaningful to our investors as it excludes revenues associated with freight & delivery, which are pass-through activities. It also excludes other revenues related to services, such as landfill tipping fees, that are derived from our aggregates business. Additionally, we use this metric as the basis for calculating the average sales price of our aggregates products. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below:

¹ At the segment level, freight & delivery revenues include intersegment freight & delivery (which are eliminated at the consolidated level) and freight to remote distribution sites.


GAAP does not define "cash gross profit," and it should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP. We and the investment community use this metric to assess the operating performance of our business. Additionally, we present this metric as we believe that it closely correlates to long-term shareholder value. Cash gross profit adds back noncash charges for depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization to gross profit. Segment cash gross profit per unit is computed by dividing segment cash gross profit by units shipped. Segment cash cost of sales per unit is computed by subtracting segment cash gross profit per unit from segment freight-adjusted sales price. Reconciliation of these metrics to their nearest GAAP measures are presented below:

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

¹ Represents charges associated with acquisitions requiring clearance under federal antitrust laws.

Similar to our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, we present Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) attributable to Vulcan from continuing operations to provide a more consistent comparison of earnings performance from period to period. This metric is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below:

Items included in Adjusted EBITDA above				$0
Projected Adjusted EBITDA				$2,450

Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures, other than the reconciliation of Projected Adjusted EBITDA as noted above. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

	Appendix 3
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures (Continued)
Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measure and should not be considered as an alternative to metrics defined by GAAP. We, the investment community and credit rating agencies use this metric to assess our leverage. Net debt subtracts cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash from total debt. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below:

We define "Return on Invested Capital" (ROIC) as Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing-twelve months divided by average invested capital (as illustrated below) during the trailing 5-quarters. Our calculation of ROIC is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because we calculate ROIC using the non-GAAP metric EBITDA. We believe that our ROIC metric is meaningful because it helps investors assess how effectively we are deploying our assets. Although ROIC is a standard financial metric, numerous methods exist for calculating a company's ROIC. As a result, the method we use to calculate our ROIC may differ from the methods used by other companies. This metric is not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by GAAP. Reconciliation of this metric to its nearest GAAP measure is presented below (numbers may not foot due to rounding):
