NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Vulcan Materials Company (the “Company,” “Vulcan,” “we,” “our”), a New Jersey corporation, is the nation’s largest supplier of construction aggregates (primarily crushed stone, sand and gravel) and a major producer of aggregates-intensive downstream products such as asphalt mix and ready-mixed concrete.
We operate primarily in the United States, and our principal product — aggregates — is used in most types of public and private construction projects and in the production of asphalt mix and ready-mixed concrete. Our primary focus is serving metropolitan markets in the United States that are expected to experience the most significant growth in population, households and employment. These three demographic factors are significant drivers of demand for aggregates. While aggregates is our focus and primary business, we produce and sell aggregates-intensive asphalt mix and/or ready-mixed concrete products in certain markets.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in compliance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and thus do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete financial statements. We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on the same basis as our annual financial statements, except for the adoption of new accounting standards, if any, as described in Note 17. Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statement, but it does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of our management, the statements reflect all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the results of the reported interim periods. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The most significant estimates and assumptions included in the preparation of these financial statements are related to goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, business combinations and purchase price allocation, pension and other postretirement benefits, environmental compliance, claims and litigation including self-insurance, and income taxes (refer to the Critical Accounting Policies included in Item 7 of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K). Events that relate to conditions arising after March 31, 2025 will be reflected in management’s estimates for future periods.
NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
We own an 88% controlling interest in the Orca Sand and Gravel Limited Partnership (Orca) which was formed to develop the Orca quarry in British Columbia, Canada. The remaining 12% noncontrolling interest is held by the Namgis First Nation (Namgis). This noncontrolling interest consists of the Namgis’ share of the fair value equity in the partnership. Our condensed consolidated financial statements recognize the full fair value of all of the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities offset by the noncontrolling interest in total equity.
RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash primarily consists of cash proceeds from the sale of property held in escrow for the acquisition of replacement property under like-kind exchange agreements. The escrow accounts are administered by an intermediary. Cash restricted pursuant to like-kind exchange agreements remains restricted for a maximum of 180 days from the date of the property sale pending the acquisition of replacement property. Restricted cash may also include cash reserved by other contractual agreements (such as asset purchase agreements) for a specified purpose and therefore is not available for use for other purposes. Restricted cash is included with cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
INVENTORIES
Inventories and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories are as follows:

in millions | March 31 2025 | December 31 2024 | March 31 2024
Finished products | $ | 570.3 |  | $ | 534.6 |  | $ | 512.7 |

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In 2005, we sold substantially all the assets of our Chemicals business to a subsidiary of Occidental Chemical Corporation. The financial results of the Chemicals business are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for all periods presented. Results from discontinued operations are as follows:

Our discontinued operations include charges related to general and product liability costs, including legal defense costs, and environmental remediation costs associated with our former Chemicals business (including certain matters as discussed in Note 8). There were no revenues from discontinued operations for the periods presented.
EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)
Earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average common shares outstanding (basic EPS) or weighted-average common shares outstanding assuming dilution (diluted EPS), as set forth below:

| Three Months Ended March 31 |
in millions | 2025 | 2024 |  |
Weighted-average common shares outstanding | 132.4 | 132.4 |  |
Dilutive effect of |  |  |  |

Other stock compensation awards | 0.5 | 0.5 |  |
Weighted-average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution | 133.0 | 133.1 |  |

All dilutive common stock equivalents are reflected in our earnings per share calculations. In periods of loss, shares that otherwise would have been included in our diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding computation would be excluded.
Antidilutive common stock equivalents are not included in our earnings per share calculations. The number of antidilutive common stock equivalents for which the exercise price exceeds the weighted-average market price is as follows:

NOTE 3: INCOME TAXES
Our estimated annual effective tax rate (EAETR) is based on full-year expectations of pretax earnings, statutory tax rates and permanent differences between book and tax accounting such as percentage depletion. For interim financial reporting, we calculate our quarterly income tax provision in accordance with the EAETR. Each quarter, we update our EAETR based on our revised full-year expectation of pretax earnings and calculate the income tax provision so that the year-to-date income tax provision reflects the EAETR. Significant judgment is required in determining our EAETR. Certain taxes may be computed outside of the EAETR and recognized when the event occurs, such as payments of share-based awards and significant, unusual, or infrequently occurring events.
In the first quarter of 2025, we recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of $33.8 million compared to $28.9 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in tax expense was primarily due to an increase in pretax earnings.
As discussed in Note 8, in May 2022, Mexican government officials unexpectedly and arbitrarily shut down our Calica operations in Mexico. In 2024, Calica had deferred tax assets (including net operating losses) of $27.5 million against which we have a full valuation allowance recorded. In 2025, we project a $6.7 million increase in deferred tax assets against which we have recorded a valuation allowance. A majority of the deferred tax assets relate to a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward which would expire between 2032 and 2035 if not utilized. Should the Mexican government lift the shutdown and/or if we are successful in our North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) claim, we will reevaluate the need for a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.
We project Alabama NOL carryforward deferred tax assets at December 31, 2025 of $57.6 million against which we have a valuation allowance of $42.7 million. We expect $7.0 million of the Alabama NOL carryforward to expire in 2025 resulting in a tax benefit of $1.0 million (recorded as a component of the EAETR) over the previous amount of valuation allowance recorded. Almost all of the Alabama NOL carryforward would expire between 2025 and 2029 if not utilized.
A summary of our deferred tax assets and liabilities is included in Note 9 “Income Taxes” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

NOTE 4: REVENUES
Revenues are measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales taxes and other taxes we collect are recorded as liabilities until remitted and thus are excluded from revenues. Costs to obtain and fulfill contracts (primarily asphalt construction paving contracts) are immaterial and are expensed as incurred when the expected amortization period is one year or less.
Our segment total revenues by geographic market for the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are disaggregated as follows:

| Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
in millions | Aggregates | Asphalt | Concrete | Total
East revenues | $ | 395.9 |  | $ | 24.3 |  | $ | 70.3 |  | $ | 490.5 |
Gulf Coast revenues | 738.6 |  | 52.4 |  | 1.6 |  | 792.6 |

Intersegment sales | (80.1) |  | 0.0 |  | 0.0 |  | (80.1) |
Total revenues 1 | $ | 1,211.2 |  | $ | 186.2 |  | $ | 148.3 |  | $ | 1,545.7 |

1 The geographic markets are defined by states/countries as follows:
East market — Arkansas, Delaware, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington D.C.
Gulf Coast market — Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, U.S. Virgin Islands, Freeport (Bahamas), Puerto Cortés (Honduras) and Quintana Roo (Mexico)
West market — Arizona, California, Hawaii, New Mexico and British Columbia (Canada)
Total revenues are primarily derived from our p roduct sales of aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel, sand and other aggregates), asphalt mix and ready-mixed concrete, and include freight & delivery costs that we pass along to our customers to deliver these products. We also generate service revenues from our asphalt construction paving business and service revenues related to our aggregates business, such as landfill tipping fees. Our total service revenues were $44.8 million (2.7% of total revenues) and $36.5 million (2.4% of total revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Our products typically are sold to private industry and not directly to governmental entities. Although approximately 40% to 55% of our aggregates shipments have historically been used in publicly funded construction (such as highways, airports and government buildings), a relatively small portion of our sales are made directly to federal, state, county or municipal governments/agencies. Therefore, although reductions in state and federal funding can curtail publicly funded construction, the vast majority of our business is not directly subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts with local, state or federal governments.
PRODUCT REVENUES
Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally, this occurs at a point in time when our aggregates, asphalt mix and ready-mixed concrete are shipped/delivered and control passes to the customer. Revenue for our products is recorded at the fixed invoice amount, and payment is due by the 15 th day of the following month. We do not offer discounts for early payment.
Freight & delivery generally represents pass-through transportation costs we incur (including our administrative costs) and pay to third-party carriers to deliver our products to customers and are accounted for as a fulfillment activity. Likewise, the costs related to freight & delivery are included in cost of revenues.

Freight & delivery revenues are as follows:

| Three Months Ended March 31 |
in millions | 2025 | 2024 |  |
Total revenues | $ | 1,634.6 |  | $ | 1,545.7 |  |  |
Freight & delivery revenues 1 | (219.8) |  | (221.8) |  |  |
Total revenues excluding freight & delivery | $ | 1,414.8 |  | $ | 1,323.9 |  |  |

1 Includes freight & delivery to remote distribution sites.
CONSTRUCTION PAVING SERVICE REVENUES
Revenue from our asphalt construction paving business is recognized over time using the percentage-of-completion method under the cost approach. The percentage of completion is determined by costs incurred to date as a percentage of total costs estimated for the project. Under this approach, recognized contract revenue equals the total estimated contract revenue multiplied by the percentage of completion. Future revenues from unsatisfied performance obligations (including contracts with an expected duration of 1 year or less) at March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $229.9 million and $158.6 million, respectively. The remaining period to complete the obligations at March 31, 2025 ranged from 1 month to 45 months.
Our construction contracts are unit priced, and an account receivable is recorded for amounts invoiced based on actual units produced. Contract assets for estimated earnings in excess of billings, contract assets related to retainage provisions and contract liabilities for billings in excess of costs are immaterial. Variable consideration in our construction paving contracts is immaterial and consists of incentives and penalties based on the quality of work performed. Our construction paving contracts may contain warranty provisions covering defects in equipment, materials, design or workmanship that generally run from nine months to one year after project completion. Due to the nature of our construction paving projects, including contract owner inspections of the work during construction and prior to acceptance, we have not experienced material warranty costs for these short-term warranties.
VOLUMETRIC PRODUCTION PAYMENT DEFERRED REVENUES
In 2013 and 2012, we sold a percentage interest in certain future aggregates production for net cash proceeds of $226.9 million. These transactions, structured as volumetric production payments (VPPs):
▪relate to eight quarries in Georgia and South Carolina
▪provide the purchaser solely with a nonoperating percentage interest in the subject quarries’ future aggregates production
▪contain no minimum annual or cumulative guarantees by us for production or sales volume, nor minimum sales price
▪are both volume and time limited
We are the exclusive sales agent for, and transmit quarterly to the purchaser the proceeds from the sale of, the purchaser’s share of aggregates production. Our consolidated total revenues exclude the revenue from the sale of the purchaser’s share of aggregates.
The proceeds we received from the sale of the percentage interest were recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. We recognize revenue on a unit-of-sales basis (as we sell the purchaser’s share of production) relative to the volume limitations of the transactions. Given the nature of the risks and potential rewards assumed by the buyer, the transactions do not reflect financing activities.
Changes in our deferred revenue balances (current and noncurrent) are as follows:

| Three Months Ended March 31 |
in millions | 2025 | 2024 |  |
Deferred revenue balance at beginning of period | $ | 145.3 |  | $ | 152.8 |  |  |
Revenue recognized from deferred revenue | (1.6) |  | (1.7) |  |  |
Deferred revenue balance at end of period | $ | 143.7 |  | $ | 151.1 |  |  |

Based on expected sales from the specified quarries, we expect to recognize $7.5 million of VPP deferred revenue as income during the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2026 (reflected in other current liabilities in our March 31, 2025 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet).

NOTE 5: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as 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. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels as described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data
Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement
Our assets subject to fair value measurement on a recurring basis are summarized below:

in millions | March 31 2025 | December 31 2024 | March 31 2024
Level 1 Fair Value |  |  |
Rabbi Trust |  |  |
Mutual funds | $ | 36.2 |  | $ | 31.1 |  | $ | 31.1 |
Total | $ | 36.2 |  | $ | 31.1 |  | $ | 31.1 |
Level 2 Fair Value |  |  |
Rabbi Trust |  |  |
Money market mutual fund | $ | 3.6 |  | $ | 0.3 |  | $ | 0.8 |
Total | $ | 3.6 |  | $ | 0.3 |  | $ | 0.8 |

We have two Rabbi Trusts for the purpose of providing a level of security for the employee nonqualified retirement and deferred compensation plans and for the directors' nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The fair values of these investments are estimated using a market approach. The Level 1 investments include mutual funds for which quoted prices in active markets are available. Level 2 investments are stated at estimated fair value based on the underlying investments in the fund (high-quality, short-term, U.S. dollar-denominated money market instruments).
Net gains of the Rabbi Trusts’ investments were $0.3 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The portions of the net gains related to investments still held by the Rabbi Trusts at March 31, 2025 and 2024 were a loss of $3.1 million and a gain of $2.3 million, respectively.
The carrying values of our cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, short-term debt, trade payables and accruals, and all other current liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Additional disclosures for derivative instruments and interest-bearing debt are presented in Note 6 and Note 7, respectively.
NOTE 6: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
During the normal course of operations, we are exposed to market risks including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. From time to time, we use derivative instruments to balance the cost and risk of such expenses. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
In prior periods, we entered into interest rate locks of future debt issuances to hedge the risk of higher interest rates. These interest rate locks were designated as cash flow hedges. The gain/loss upon settlement of these cash flow hedges is deferred (recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI)) and amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt.
This amortization was reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as follows:

in millions | Income Statement Location | Three Months Ended March 31 |
2025 | 2024 |  |
Cash Flow Hedges |  |  |  |  |
Loss reclassified from AOCI | Interest expense | $ | (0.6) |  | $ | (0.5) |  |  |

For the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2026, we estimate that $2.4 million of the $17.3 million net of tax loss in AOCI will be reclassified to interest expense.

1 Borrowings on the bank line of credit and commercial paper are classified as short-term if we intend to repay within twelve months and as long-term if we have the intent and ability to extend payment beyond twelve months.
Discounts and debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the terms of the respective notes resulting in $1.4 million and $3.5 million of net interest expense for these items for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
LINE OF CREDIT AND COMMERCIAL PAPER PROGRAM
Our $1,600.0 million commercial paper program was established in August 2022 and matures in November 2029. Commercial paper borrowings bear interest at rates determined at the time of borrowing and as agreed between us and the commercial paper investors. As of March 31, 2025, we had $550.0 million in long-term commercial paper borrowings with a 4.69% effective interest rate.
Our $1,600.0 million unsecured line of credit was amended in November 2024 to extend the maturity date from August 2027 to November 2029. Our line of credit contains covenants customary for an unsecured investment-grade facility. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the line of credit covenants. Borrowings on the line of credit bear interest, at our option, at either SOFR plus a margin or Truist Bank’s base rate plus a margin. The margins are determined by our credit ratings. Standby letters of credit, which are issued under the line of credit and reduce availability, are charged a fee equal to the margin for SOFR borrowings plus 0.175%. We also pay a commitment fee on the daily average unused amount of the line of credit that ranges from 0.090% to 0.225% determined by our credit ratings. As of March 31, 2025, the margin for SOFR borrowings was 1.125%, the margin for base rate borrowings was 0.125% and the commitment fee for the unused amount was 0.100%.
As of March 31, 2025, our available borrowing capacity under the line of credit was $1,576.1 million. Utilization of the borrowing capacity was as follows:
▪None was borrowed
▪$23.9 million was used to support standby letters of credit
TERM DEBT
All of our $4,990.7 million (face value) of term debt (which includes $550.0 million of commercial paper) is unsecured. All of the covenants in the debt agreements are customary for investment-grade facilities. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all term debt covenants.

In November 2024, we issued $500.0 million of 4.95% senior notes due 2029, $750.0 million of 5.35% senior notes due 2034 and $750.0 million of 5.70% senior notes due 2054. Total proceeds of $1,975.0 million (net of discounts and transaction costs), together with cash on hand, were used to provide liquidity for acquisitions in 2024 and debt maturing in 2025.
In March 2025, we redeemed the $400.0 million senior notes due April 2025 using cash on hand.
STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT
We provide, in the normal course of business, certain third-party beneficiaries with standby letters of credit to support our obligations to pay or perform according to the requirements of an underlying agreement. Such letters of credit typically have an initial term of one year, renew automatically and can only be modified or canceled with the approval of the beneficiary. Except for $9.6 million of letters of credit related to acquisitions completed in 2024, our standby letters of credit are issued by banks that participate in our $1,600.0 million line of credit and reduce the borrowing capacity thereunder. Our standby letters of credit as of March 31, 2025 are summarized by purpose in the table below:

in millions |
Risk management insurance | $ | 10.1 |
Reclamation/restoration requirements | 23.4 |
Total standby letters of credit | $ | 33.5 |

NOTE 8: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Certain of our aggregates reserves are burdened by volumetric production payments (nonoperating interest) as described in Note 4. As the holder of the operating interest, we have responsibility to bear the cost of mining and producing the reserves attributable to this nonoperating interest.
As stated in Note 2, our lease liabilities totaled $624.9 million as of March 31, 2025.
As summarized by purpose in Note 7, our standby letters of credit totaled $33.5 million as of March 31, 2025.
As described in Note 9, our asset retirement obligations totaled $429.5 million as of March 31, 2025.
LITIGATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
We are subject to occasional governmental proceedings and orders pertaining to occupational safety and health or to protection of the environment, such as proceedings or orders relating to noise abatement, air emissions or water discharges. As part of our continuing program of stewardship in safety, health and environmental matters, we have been able to resolve such proceedings and to comply with such orders without any material adverse effects on our business.
We have received notices from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or similar state or local agencies that we are considered a potentially responsible party (PRP) at a limited number of sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) or similar state and local environmental laws. Generally, we share the cost of remediation at these sites with other PRPs or alleged PRPs in accordance with negotiated or prescribed allocations. There is inherent uncertainty in determining the potential cost of remediating a given site and in determining any individual party's share in that cost. As a result, estimates can change substantially as additional information becomes available regarding the nature or extent of site contamination, remediation methods, other PRPs and their probable level of involvement, and actions by or against governmental agencies or private parties.
We have reviewed the nature and extent of our involvement at each Superfund site, as well as potential obligations arising under other federal, state and local environmental laws. While ultimate resolution and financial liability is uncertain at a number of the sites, in our opinion, based on information currently available, the ultimate resolution of claims and assessments related to these sites will not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows, although amounts recorded in a given period could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for that period. Amounts accrued for environmental matters (measured on an undiscounted basis) are presented below:

in millions | March 31 2025 | December 31 2024 | March 31 2024
Continuing operations | $ | 47.7 |  | $ | 47.9 |  | $ | 33.2 |
Retained from former Chemicals business | 8.3 |  | 8.3 |  | 8.3 |
Total accrued environmental remediation costs | $ | 56.0 |  | $ | 56.2 |  | $ | 41.5 |

We are a defendant in various lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. It is not possible to determine with precision the outcome, or the amount of liability, if any, under these lawsuits, especially where the cases involve possible jury trials with as yet undetermined jury panels.

In addition to these lawsuits in which we are involved in the ordinary course of business, certain other material legal proceedings are more specifically described below:
▪LOWER PASSAIC RIVER STUDY AREA (DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS and SUPERFUND SITE) — The Lower Passaic River Study Area is part of the Diamond Shamrock Superfund Site in New Jersey. Vulcan and approximately 70 other companies are parties (collectively the Cooperating Parties Group, CPG) to a May 2007 Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) with the EPA to perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (draft RI/FS) of the lower 17 miles of the Passaic River (River). The draft RI/FS was submitted recommending a targeted hot spot remedy; however, the EPA issued a record of decision (ROD) in March 2016 that calls for a bank-to-bank dredging remedy for the lower 8 miles of the River. The EPA estimates that the cost of implementing this proposal is $1.38 billion. In September 2016, the EPA entered into an Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent with Occidental Chemical Corporation (Occidental) in which Occidental agreed to undertake the remedial design for this bank-to-bank dredging remedy and to reimburse the United States for certain response costs.
Efforts to investigate and remediate the River have been underway for many years and have involved hundreds of entities that have had operations on or near the River at some point during the past several decades. We formerly owned a chemicals operation near the mouth of the River, which was sold in 1974. The major risk drivers in the River have been identified to include dioxins, PCBs, DDx and mercury. We did not manufacture any of these risk drivers and have no evidence that any of these were discharged into the River by Vulcan.
In August 2017, the EPA informed certain members of the CPG, including Vulcan and others, that it planned to use the services of a third-party allocator with the expectation of offering cash-out settlements to some parties in connection with the bank-to-bank remedy identified in the ROD. This voluntary allocation process established an impartial third-party expert recommendation for use by the government and the participants as the basis of possible settlements, including settlements related to future remediation actions. The final allocation recommendations, which are subject to confidentiality provisions, were submitted to the EPA for its review and consideration in late December 2020. Certain PRPs, including Vulcan, thereafter received a joint confidential settlement demand from the EPA/Department of Justice (DOJ). Vulcan and certain of the other PRPs that received the joint confidential settlement demand (the Settling Defendants) reached an agreement to settle with the EPA/DOJ and negotiated a Consent Decree. The court granted the motion to enter the Consent Decree in December 2024. Occidental thereafter filed an appeal challenging the entry of the Consent Decree. The appeal remains pending. Vulcan’s portion of the settlement is within the immaterial loss recorded for this matter in 2015.
In July 2018, Vulcan, along with more than 100 other defendants, was sued by Occidental in United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Newark Vicinage. Occidental is seeking cost recovery and contribution under CERCLA for costs related to the River. This lawsuit is currently stayed. In another related proceeding, Occidental filed a lawsuit in March 2023 against Vulcan and 39 other defendants in United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Newark Vicinage seeking cost recovery and contribution under CERCLA for costs related to the upper 9 miles of the River. It is unknown at this time how the settlement and approval of the Consent Decree with the EPA/DOJ would affect the Occidental lawsuits.
▪TEXAS BRINE MATTER (DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS) — During operation of its former Chemicals Division, Vulcan leased the right to mine salt out of an underground salt dome formation in Assumption Parish, Louisiana from 1976 - 2005. Throughout that period, Texas Brine Company (Texas Brine) was the operator contracted by Vulcan to mine and deliver the salt as brine. We sold our Chemicals Division in 2005 and transferred our rights and interests related to the salt and mining operations to the purchaser, a subsidiary of Occidental Chemical Company (Occidental), and we have had no association with the leased premises or Texas Brine since that time. In August 2012, a sinkhole developed in the vicinity of the Texas Brine mining operations. Numerous lawsuits were filed thereafter in state court in Assumption Parish, Louisiana. Other lawsuits, including class action litigation, were filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana in New Orleans.
In these lawsuits, the main plaintiffs sued numerous defendants, including Texas Brine, Occidental and Vulcan, alleging various damages including, but not limited to, property damages; a claim by the State of Louisiana for response costs and civil penalties; physical damages to oil and gas pipelines and storage facilities (pipelines); and business interruption losses. All such claims have been settled except for the claims by the State of Louisiana. Our insurers to date have funded these settlements in excess of our self-insured retention amount.
Additionally, Texas Brine, Occidental and Vulcan sued each other in various state and federal court forums. Vulcan and Occidental have since dismissed all of their claims against one another; Texas Brine and Occidental have settled their claims against each other; and Texas Brine’s and Vulcan’s claims against each other are pending in state and federal court. In general, Texas Brine alleges that the sinkhole was caused, in whole or in part, by our negligent or fraudulent actions or failure to act; that we breached the salt lease with Occidental, as well as an operating agreement and related contracts with Texas Brine; that we were strictly liable for certain property damages in our capacity as a former lessee of the salt lease; and that we violated the agreement under which we sold our Chemicals Division to Occidental. Texas Brine’s claims against Vulcan include claims for past and future response costs, lost profits and investment costs, indemnity payments, attorneys’ fees, other litigation costs, and judicial interests. Texas Brine also recently filed a lawsuit against Vulcan seeking indemnity for potential exposure Texas Brine may have to Occidental in the related arbitration, the State of Louisiana, and for ongoing and future Louisiana regulatory matters. In August 2022, we removed the lawsuit to federal court.
14

The state court held a joint bench trial (judge only) in 2017 in three cases brought by pipeline companies claiming damages to their facilities as a result of the sinkhole. This “Phase 1” trial was limited in scope to comparative fault and liability for causing the sinkhole. In December 2017, the trial court issued a ruling allocating fault as follows: Occidental 50%, Texas Brine (and its wholly-owned subsidiary) 35% and Vulcan 15%. In December 2020, the Louisiana Court of Appeal, First Circuit reversed the judgment in part in one of the three jointly tried cases, allocating 55% of the fault to Texas Brine (and its wholly-owned subsidiary); 30% to Occidental; and affirming the 15% fault allocation to Vulcan. In May 2021 and April 2022, the Court of Appeal issued judgments in the other two pipeline cases, adopting the same fault allocation. The Louisiana Supreme Court has declined to review the judgments, resulting in final judgments regarding fault allocations in those matters.
In the second quarter of 2022, we recorded an immaterial loss related to the claims brought by Texas Brine. In August 2022, Vulcan and Texas Brine commenced a joint “Phase 2” bench trial in the same three pipeline cases where fault was allocated. Prior to trial, the trial court granted various motions by Vulcan seeking dismissal of Texas Brine’s contract-based claims and hundreds of millions of dollars in alleged damages. Thus, the Phase 2 trial addressed the claims that remained pending between Texas Brine and Vulcan after that motion practice. During the Phase 2 trial, Texas Brine and Vulcan reached a negotiated joint stipulation as to the amount of Texas Brine’s damages for its surviving tort claims at issue in the trial. After applying Vulcan’s 15% fault allocation, Vulcan’s stipulated financial responsibility for the damages at issue in the trial is within the immaterial loss recorded during the second quarter of 2022. I n December 2022, the trial court entered a judgment in the pipeline cases reflecting this stipulation. Texas Brine moved to assess all trial costs against Vulcan. Texas Brine and Vulcan thereafter reached a settlement, wherein Vulcan agreed to pay a portion of Texas Brine's trial costs, the amount of which was within the remaining immaterial loss recorded in the second quarter of 2022.
The December 2022 Phase 2 judgment did not address numerous of Texas Brine’s claims seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages that were dismissed prior to trial. Texas Brine appealed those judgments. In December 2024, the Court of Appeal affirmed the dismissal of most of those damage claims but remanded the dispute to the District Court for further adjudication of an indemnity claim under one of the agreements. Vulcan and Texas Brine have each sought discretionary review of the Court of Appeal's December 2024 rulings. We cannot at this time reasonably estimate the range of liability, if any, that could result from Texas Brine's indemnity claim or should the Louisiana Supreme Court exercise jurisdiction to review any of the December 2024 appellate court rulings. At this time, we also cannot reasonably estimate a range of liability pertaining to the claims brought by the State of Louisiana.
▪1,1,1-TRICHLOROETHANE LITIGATION (DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS) — During the operation of our former Chemicals Division, which was divested to Occidental in 2005, Vulcan manufactured a chlorinated solvent known as 1,1,1-trichloroethane. Vulcan faces liabilities related to 1,1,1-trichloroethane stabilized with 1,4-dioxane ("TCA"). We are one of the defendants in cases filed in both state and federal courts, including one case filed by the State of New Jersey. According to the various complaints, the plaintiffs seek damages including, but not limited to, unspecified compensatory damages associated with the remediation of water wells allegedly contaminated with 1,4-dioxane, natural resource damages, disgorgement of profits from the sale of TCA, punitive damages, as well as penalties and attorney's fees under various statutes. We will vigorously defend these cases on substantive and procedural grounds. At this time, we cannot determine the likelihood of loss, or reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, pertaining to the above-referenced cases.
▪HEWITT LANDFILL MATTER (SUPERFUND SITE) — In September 2015, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) issued a Cleanup and Abatement Order directing Calmat Co., a Vulcan subsidiary (hereinafter "Vulcan") to assess, monitor, cleanup, and abate wastes that have been discharged to soil, soil vapor, and/or groundwater at the former Hewitt Landfill in Los Angeles.
Following an onsite and offsite investigation and pilot scale testing, the RWQCB approved a corrective action under a Cleanup and Abatement Order (CAO) to include leachate recovery, storm water capture and conveyance improvements, and a groundwater pump, treat and reinjection system. Certain on-site source control measures have been implemented, and the treatment system is fully operational. In October 2024, the RWQCB made a request under the CAO for a work plan to install additional monitoring wells and optimize and expand the existing on-site remediation system. This request complements expansion discussions with the EPA and other stakeholders, as part of the Alternative Design Work Plan (ADWP) which was submitted in January 2025. Currently-anticipated costs of these on-site source control activities, including those associated with this work plan, have been fully accrued.
We are also engaged in an ongoing dialogue with the EPA, Honeywell, and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) regarding the potential contribution of the Hewitt Landfill to groundwater contamination in the North Hollywood Operable Unit (NHOU) of the San Fernando Valley Superfund Site.
15

The EPA and Vulcan entered into an AOC and Statement of Work having an effective date of September 2017 for the design of two extraction wells south of the Hewitt Landfill to protect the North Hollywood West (NHW) well field located within the NHOU. In November 2017, we submitted a Pre-Design Investigation (PDI) Work Plan to the EPA, which sets forth the activities and schedule for collection of data in support of our evaluation of the need for an offsite remedy. In addition, this evaluation was expanded as part of the PDI to include the evaluation of a remedy in light of LADWP’s Rinaldi-Toluca (RT) wellfield project. PDI investigative activities were completed between the first and third quarters of 2018, and in December 2018 we submitted a Draft PDI Evaluation Report to the EPA. The Draft PDI Evaluation Report summarizes data collection activities conducted pursuant to the Draft PDI Work Plan and provides model updates and evaluation of remediation alternatives for offsite areas. The EPA provided a final set of comments to the Draft PDI Evaluation Report in October 2020. The final set of comments included a request that Vulcan revise and develop a final PDI Evaluation Report. The final comments further provided a proposal for an alternative approach for offsite remediation (as opposed to installation of offsite extraction wells) and development of a Supplemental PDI Evaluation Report (Supplemental Report) that would require the EPA to modify the remedy in the record of decision as it relates to the Hewitt Landfill. In December 2020, we submitted the Final PDI Evaluation Report, which included responses to the EPA’s comments.
At the EPA's request, we submitted a draft Supplemental Report in March 2023 and a draft ADWP in May 2023. Similar to the PDI Evaluation Report, the draft Supplemental Report and draft ADWP identified expansion of the onsite Hewitt remedy in conjunction with the offsite treatment being performed by LADWP as the preferred option for addressing contamination in offsite areas, instead of the two wells proposed by the EPA. In conjunction with its review of the draft Supplemental Report, the EPA held an initial meeting with stakeholders, including LADWP, in November 2023. Since that time, Vulcan has participated in several additional meetings and responded to several rounds of comments. After receiving final comments from the LADWP, EPA and the RWQCB, Vulcan submitted a final Supplemental Report to the EPA in April 2025.
In December 2019, Honeywell agreed with LADWP to build a water treatment system (often referred to as the Cooperative Containment Concept or CCC or the second interim remedy) that will provide treated groundwater in the NHOU to LADWP for public water supply purposes. Honeywell contends that some of the contamination to be remediated by the treatment system it is building originated from the Hewitt Landfill and that Vulcan should fund some portion of the costs that Honeywell has incurred and will incur in developing and implementing the second interim remedy. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed a partial settlement with Honeywell related to certain costs that Honeywell has incurred for an immaterial amount. In March 2023, Honeywell filed a lawsuit against Vulcan and a third party alleging that Honeywell has incurred more than $11 million in costs to resolve its liability to the EPA and that it estimates that it will spend in excess of $100 million to construct and operate its water treatment system. Honeywell seeks an "equitable share of necessary response costs" from Vulcan and the third party, which claims indemnity from Vulcan. Discussions are ongoing with Honeywell regarding the reasonable costs Honeywell has incurred. We are also gathering and analyzing data and developing technical information to determine the extent of possible contribution by the Hewitt Landfill to the groundwater contamination in the area. Based on this technical information and recent settlement discussions, we have accrued an immaterial amount for our contribution of costs anticipated to be incurred by Honeywell. This work is also intended to assist in identification of other PRPs that may have contributed to groundwater contamination in the area.
Further, LADWP is constructing two new production and treatment facilities at city wellfields located near the Hewitt Landfill — the NHW wellfield and the RT wellfield (also referred to as the NHW treatment system and North Hollywood Central (NHC) treatment system, respectively). LADWP has alleged that the Hewitt Landfill is one of the primary sources of contamination at the NHW treatment system and one of the sources of contamination at the NHC treatment system. According to information available on the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) website, the capital cost of the NHW treatment system is estimated at $92 million, and the capital cost of the NHC treatment system is estimated at $245 million. The NHW system commenced operation in late 2024, and the NHC system is expected to commence operation in 2025. Both systems will incur costs for operation and maintenance. LADWP has applied for and received substantial funding to contribute to both treatment systems from grants of Proposition 1 bond funding from the SWRCB. According to information available on the SWRCB website, the bond money obtained for the NHW treatment system is $46 million, and the bond money obtained for the NHC treatment system is $95 million.
We anticipate continued discussions with LADWP regarding its potential claims. In conjunction with those discussions, we are engaging in further efforts to gather and analyze records and data in order to assess the extent of possible contribution by the Hewitt Landfill to the groundwater contamination in the area, consistent with the parallel request by the EPA, and the reasonableness of LADWP’s remediation efforts. This work is also intended to assist in identification of other PRPs that may have contributed to groundwater contamination in the area of the NHW and RT wellfields. Together, these efforts will allow us to analyze our anticipated equitable contribution to LADWP’s remediation efforts. Among other factors, we anticipate that any equitable contribution should take into account the on-site source control and other measures implemented by Vulcan at the former Hewitt Landfill, the relative contribution and duration of any contaminants originating from the Hewitt Landfill to the LADWP systems, and the cost effectiveness of the LADWP systems. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of a loss to Vulcan pertaining to LADWP’s potential contribution claim.
▪NAFTA ARBITRATION — In September 2018, our subsidiary Legacy Vulcan, LLC (Legacy Vulcan), on its own behalf, and on behalf of our Mexican subsidiary Calizas Industriales del Carmen, S.A. de C.V. (Calica), served the United Mexican States (Mexico) a Notice of Intent to Submit a Claim to Arbitration under Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This NAFTA claim relates to the treatment of a portion of our quarrying operations in Quintana Roo, Mexico arising from, among other measures, Mexico’s failure to comply with a legally binding zoning agreement and relates to other unfair, arbitrary and capricious actions by Mexico’s environmental enforcement agency. We assert that these actions are in breach of Mexico’s international obligations under NAFTA and international law.
16

As required by Article 1118 of NAFTA, we sought to settle this dispute with Mexico through consultations. Notwithstanding our good faith efforts to resolve the dispute amicably, we were unable to do so and filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) in December 2018. In January 2019, ICSID registered our Request for Arbitration.
A hearing on the merits took place in July 2021. While we awaited the final resolution from the tribunal, we continued to engage with government officials to pursue an amicable resolution of the dispute. On May 5, 2022, Mexican government officials unexpectedly and arbitrarily shut down Calica’s remaining operations in Mexico. On May 8, 2022, Legacy Vulcan filed an application in the NAFTA arbitration seeking provisional measures and leave to file an ancillary claim in connection with this latest shutdown (see Part I, Item 2 "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under the caption "Known Trends or Uncertainties"). In July 2022, the NAFTA arbitration tribunal granted Legacy Vulcan’s application and ordered Mexico not to take any action that might further aggravate the dispute between the parties or render the resolution of the dispute potentially more difficult. A hearing on the merits of the ancillary claim took place in August 2023. We expect that the NAFTA arbitration tribunal will issue a decision on the claim and ancillary claim during 2025.
At this time, there can be no assurance whether we will be successful in our NAFTA claim and ancillary claim, and we cannot quantify the amount we may recover, if any, under this arbitration proceeding if we are successful.
It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these and other legal proceedings in which we are involved, and a number of factors, including developments in ongoing discovery or adverse rulings, or the verdict of a particular jury, could cause actual losses to differ materially from accrued costs. No liability was recorded for claims and litigation for which a loss was determined to be only reasonably possible or for which a loss could not be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in defense of lawsuits are expensed as incurred. In addition, losses on certain claims and litigation described above may be subject to limitations on a per occurrence basis by excess insurance, as described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
NOTE 9: ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
Asset retirement obligations (AROs) are legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets resulting from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the underlying assets, including legal obligations for land reclamation. Recognition of a liability for an ARO is required in the period in which it is incurred at its estimated fair value. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the underlying asset and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. The ARO liability is accreted through charges to operating expenses. If the ARO liability is settled for a value other than the carrying amount of the liability, we recognize a gain or loss on settlement.
ARO operating costs related to accretion of the liabilities and depreciation of the assets are as follows:

| Three Months Ended March 31 |
in millions | 2025 | 2024 |  |
Accretion | $ | 4.3 |  | $ | 3.5 |  |  |
Depreciation | 3.9 |  | 2.4 |  |  |
Total ARO operating costs | $ | 8.2 |  | $ | 5.9 |  |  |

ARO operating costs are reported in cost of revenues. ARO liabilities are reported within other noncurrent liabilities in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Reconciliations of the carrying amounts of our ARO liabilities are as follows:

| Three Months Ended March 31 |
in millions | 2025 | 2024 |  |
ARO liability balance at beginning of period | $ | 427.4 |  | $ | 324.1 |  |  |
Liabilities incurred | 0.0 |  | 0.0 |  |  |
Liabilities settled | (5.9) |  | (1.8) |  |  |
Accretion expense | 4.3 |  | 3.5 |  |  |
Revisions, net | 3.7 |  | (0.1) |  |  |
ARO liability balance at end of period | $ | 429.5 |  | $ | 325.7 |  |  |

The increase in ARO liabilities from the prior year primarily relates to acquisitions completed in 2024 (see Note 1 6) and cost adjustments for a number of aggregates properties in California that are being reclaimed for alternative uses post mining.

NOTE 10: BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION PLANS
We sponsor two qualified, noncontributory defined benefit pension plans, the Vulcan Materials Company Pension Plan (VMC Pension Plan) and the CMG Hourly Pension Plan (CMG Pension Plan). The VMC Pension Plan has been closed to new entrants since 2007, and benefit accruals ceased in 2005 for hourly participants and in 2013 for salaried participants. The CMG Pension Plan is closed to new entrants other than through one small union, and benefits continue to accrue equal to a flat dollar amount for each year of service. In addition to these qualified plans, we sponsor three unfunded, nonqualified pension plans.
The following table sets forth the components of net periodic pension benefit cost:

| Three Months Ended March 31 |
in millions | 2025 | 2024 |  |
Service cost | $ | 0.5 |  | $ | 0.7 |  |  |
Interest cost | 8.3 |  | 8.2 |  |  |

Net periodic pension benefit cost | $ | 2.2 |  | $ | 3.3 |  |  |
Pretax amortization from AOCI | $ | 1.2 |  | $ | 1.5 |  |  |

The contributions to pension plans for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, pertain to benefit payments under nonqualified plans for both periods.
POSTRETIREMENT PLANS
In addition to pension benefits, we provide certain healthcare and life insurance benefits for some retired employees. Substantially all of our salaried employees and, where applicable, certain of our hourly employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach a qualifying age and meet certain service requirements. Generally, Company-provided healthcare benefits end when covered individuals become eligible for Medicare benefits, become eligible for other group insurance coverage or reach age 65 (whichever occurs first).
The following table sets forth the components of net periodic other postretirement benefit cost:

| Three Months Ended March 31 |

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS
In addition to our pension and postretirement plans, we sponsor seven defined contribution plans. Substantially all salaried and non-union hourly employees are eligible to be covered by one of these plans. Under these plans, we match employees’ eligible contributions at established rates. Expense recognized in connection with these matching obligations totaled $17.0 million and $30.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

NOTE 13: SEGMENT REPORTING
Our operating segments are based on our internal management reporting structure. Our chief operating decision maker, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates our operating results through reportable segment gross profit. This financial metric is used to review operating trends, perform analytical comparisons between periods and monitor budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis in order to assess performance and allocate resources.
We have three operating (and reportable) segments organized around our principal product lines: Aggregates, Asphalt and Concrete. The vast majority of our activities are domestic. We sell a relatively small amount of construction aggregates outside the United States. Our Asphalt and Concrete segments are primarily supplied with their aggregates requirements from our Aggregates segment. These intersegment sales are made at local market prices for the particular grade and quality of product used in the production of asphalt mix and ready-mixed concrete and are excluded from total revenues.

NOTE 15: GOODWILL
Goodwill is recognized when the consideration paid for a business exceeds the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is allocated to reporting units for purposes of testing goodwill for impairment. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances change in a manner that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.
There were no charges for goodwill impairment in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Accumulated goodwill impairment losses amount to $390.2 million ($252.7 million in our former Cement segment and $137.5 million in our Concrete segment).
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025 are shown below:

NOTE 16: ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
2025 BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS — Through the three months ended March 31, 2025, we completed no business acquisitions.
2024 BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS — Through the three months ended March 31, 2024, we acquired operations in North Carolina for cash consideration of $12.3 million. For the full year 2024, including adjustments made in the current year, we acquired the following operations for total consideration of $2,299.0 million ($2,261.4 million cash and $37.6 million noncash):
▪Alabama — aggregates, asphalt mix and construction paving operations
▪California — aggregates, asphalt and ready-mixed concrete operations
▪North Carolina — aggregates operations
▪South Carolina — aggregates operations
▪Texas — asphalt mix and construction paving operations
While none of these acquisitions were individually material, our fourth quarter acquisitions of Wake Stone Corporation (Wake Stone) and Superior Ready Mix, L.P. (Superior) were collectively material. The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the results of operations for Vulcan, Wake Stone and Superior as if they were combined as of January 1, 2023. The pro forma financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating efficiencies or synergies as a result of these acquisitions. Consistent with the assumed acquisition date of January 1, 2023, the pro forma information excludes transactions between Vulcan, Wake Stone and Superior. The following pro forma information also includes: 1) charges directly attributable to the acquisitions, including acquisition related expenses; 2) cost of sales related to the sale of acquired inventory marked up to fair value; 3) depreciation, depletion, amortization & accretion expense related to the mark up to fair value of acquired assets; 4) interest expense reflecting the new debt structure; and 5) tax effects of the business combination:

Deferred tax liabilities | (310.5) |
Other liabilities | (173.7) |
Net identifiable assets acquired | $ | 1,730.8 |
Goodwill | $ | 361.4 |

As a collective result of the Wake Stone and Superior acquisitions, as well as other immaterial acquisitions completed in 2024, we recognized $279.7 million of amortizable intangible assets and $370.4 million of goodwill. The amortizable intangible assets will be amortized against earnings over a weighted-average of approximately 20 years and will be deductible for income tax purposes over 15 years. The $370.4 million of goodwill primarily represents deferred tax liabilities generated from carrying over the seller's tax basis in the assets acquired as well as synergies expected to be realized from acquiring established businesses with assets that have been assembled over a long period of time; the collection of those assets combined with our assets can earn a higher rate of return than either individually. Of the total goodwill recognized, $60.0 million will be deductible for income tax purposes.
DIVESTITURES AND PENDING DIVESTITURES
In 2025, we sold:
▪First quarter — non-strategic aggregates locations in rural West Texas with limited reserves resulting in an immaterial gain
We had no significant divestitures through the three months ended March 31, 2024.
No material assets met the criteria for held for sale at March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 or March 31, 2024.

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL COMMENTS
OVERVIEW
We provide the basic materials for the infrastructure needed to maintain and expand the U.S. economy. We operate primarily in the U.S. and are the nation's largest supplier of construction aggregates (primarily crushed stone, sand and gravel) and a major producer of aggregates-intensive downstream products such as asphalt mix and ready-mixed concrete. Our strategy and competitive advantage are based on our strength in aggregates which are used in most types of construction and in the production of asphalt mix and ready-mixed concrete.
Demand for our products is dependent on construction activity and correlates positively with changes in population, employment and household formations. End uses include public construction (e.g., highways, bridges, buildings, airports, schools, prisons, sewer and waste disposal systems, water supply systems, dams, reservoirs and other public construction projects), private nonresidential construction (e.g., manufacturing, retail, offices and warehouses) and private residential construction (e.g., single-family houses, duplexes, apartment buildings and condominiums).
Aggregates have a very high weight-to-price ratio and, in most cases, must be produced near where they are used; if not, transportation can cost more than the materials, rendering them uncompetitive compared to locally produced materials. Exceptions to this typical market structure include areas along the U.S. Gulf Coast and the Eastern Seaboard where there are limited supplies of locally available, high-quality aggregates. We serve these markets from quarries that have access to cost-effective long-haul transportation, including shipping by barge, rail and our fleet of Panamax-class, self-unloading ships. Additionally, we serve markets in California and Hawaii from our quarry in British Columbia, Canada by means of a long-term marine shipping agreement with CSL Americas.
There are limited substitutes for quality aggregates. Due to zoning and permitting regulations and high transportation costs relative to the value of the product, the location of reserves is a critical factor to our long-term success.
No material part of our business depends upon any single customer whose loss would have a significant adverse effect on our business. In 2024, our five largest customers accounted for approximately 8% of our total revenues, and no single customer accounted for more than 3% of our total revenues. Although approximately 40% to 55% of our aggregates shipments have historically been used in publicly-funded construction, such as highways, airports and government buildings, a relatively small portion of our sales are made directly to federal, state, county or municipal governments/agencies. Therefore, although reductions in state and federal funding can curtail publicly-funded construction, the vast majority of our business is not directly subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts with local, state or federal governments. In addition, our sales to government entities span several hundred entities coast-to-coast, ensuring that negative changes to various government budgets would have a muted impact across such a diversified set of government customers.
While aggregates is our focus and primary business, we believe vertical integration between aggregates and downstream products, such as asphalt mix and ready-mixed concrete, can be managed effectively in certain markets to generate attractive financial returns and enhance financial returns in our core Aggregates segment. We produce and sell aggregates-intensive asphalt mix and/or ready-mixed concrete products in our Alabama, Arizona, California, Maryland, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, U.S. Virgin Islands and Washington D.C. markets. Aggregates comprise approximately 95% of asphalt mix by weight and 80% of ready-mixed concrete by weight. In both of these downstream businesses, aggregates are primarily supplied from our operations.
SEASONALITY AND CYCLICAL NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS
Almost all of our products are produced and consumed outdoors. Seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions can affect the production and sales volume of our products. Therefore, the financial results for any quarter do not necessarily indicate the results expected for the year. Normally, the highest sales and earnings are in the third quarter, and the lowest are in the first quarter. Furthermore, our sales and earnings are sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions, demographic and population fluctuations, and particularly to cyclical swings in construction spending, primarily in the private sector.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR FIRST QUARTER 2025
Compared to first quarter of 2024:
▪Total revenues increased $88.9 million, or 6%, to $1,634.6 million
▪Gross profit increased $60.4 million, or 20%, to $365.3 million
▪Aggregates segment sales increased $44.6 million, or 3%, to $1,335.9 million
▪Aggregates segment freight-adjusted revenues increased $60.6 million, or 6%, to $1,052.0 million
▪Shipments decreased 1%, or 0.4 million tons, to 47.8 million tons
▪Freight-adjusted sales price increased 7.0%, or $1.44 per ton, to $22.03
▪Aggregates segment gross profit increased $54.0 million, or 18%, to $357.3 million
▪Unit profitability (as measured by gross profit per ton) increased 19% to $7.48 per ton
▪Asphalt and Concrete segment gross profit increased $6.4 million to $8.0 million, collectively
▪Selling, administrative and general (SAG) expenses increased $8.6 million (10 basis points as a percentage of total revenues)
▪Operating earnings increased $53.5 million, or 31%, to $226.4 million
▪Earnings attributable to Vulcan from continuing operations were $0.98 per diluted share compared to $0.78 per diluted share
▪Adjusted earnings attributable to Vulcan from continuing operations were $1.00 per diluted share compared to $0.80 per diluted share
▪Net earnings attributable to Vulcan were $128.9 million, an increase of $26.2 million or 26%
▪Adjusted EBITDA was $410.9 million, an increase of $87.4 million, or 27%
▪Returned capital to shareholders via dividends of $66.0 million at $0.49 per share versus $62.0 million at $0.46 per share
▪Returned capital to shareholders via share repurchases of $38.1 million at $224.36 average price per share compared to $18.8 million at $265.44 average price per share
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%, and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 420 basis points over the prior year. Aggregates gross profit per ton improved 19%, and cash gross profit per ton improved 20%, 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.
Capital expenditures, including maintenance and growth projects, were $105.3 million in the first quarter. During 2025, we expect to spend between $750 million and $800 million on maintenance and growth projects. During the quarter, we returned $104.1 million to shareholders through $38.1 million of common stock repurchases and $66.0 million of dividends, a 29% increase versus the prior year.
We used $400.0 million of cash on hand to redeem our 2025 notes this quarter, resulting in a ratio of total debt to trailing-twelve months Adjusted EBITDA of 2.3 times (2.2 times on a net debt basis, reflecting $192.9 million of cash on hand).
We remain well positioned for continued growth with a strong liquidity position and balance sheet profile. Our weighted-average debt maturity was 13.4 years, and our total weighted-average effective interest rate was 5.00%.
Interest expense, net of interest income, was $59.7 million in the first quarter compared with $39.1 million in the prior year. The $20.6 million increase is primarily due to a higher debt level resulting from the November 2024 notes issuances.
On a trailing-twelve months basis, return on invested capital was 16.2%, a 10 basis points decrease over the prior year, primarily resulting from the fourth quarter 2024 acquisitions of Wake Stone Corporation (Wake Stone) and Superior Ready Mix Concrete, L.P. (Superior).
OUTLOOK
Our execution in the first quarter was strong, and we reiterate our full-year outlook to deliver $2,350 million to $2,550 million 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.

FIRST QUARTER 2025 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER 2024
First quarter 2025 total revenues were $1,634.6 million, up 6% from the first quarter of 2024. Shipments decreased in aggregates (-1%) and increased in asphalt mix (+4%) and ready-mixed concrete (+15%). Gross profit increased in the Aggregates segment
(+$54.0 million or 18%) and the Concrete segment (+$6.3 million or 204%) and remained flat in the Asphalt segment.
Net earnings attributable to Vulcan for the first quarter of 2025 were $128.9 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, compared to $102.7 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2024. Each period’s results were impacted by discrete items, as follows:
Net earnings attributable to Vulcan for the first quarter of 2025 include:
▪pretax charges of $1.2 million associated with non-routine acquisitions
▪pretax loss on discontinued operations of $1.3 million
▪$1.7 million of tax charges related to a valuation allowance against Calica deferred tax assets, including NOL carryforwards
Net earnings attributable to Vulcan for the first quarter of 2024 include:
▪pretax charges of $0.1 million associated with non-routine acquisitions
▪pretax loss on discontinued operations of $2.3 million
▪$1.6 million of tax charges related to a valuation allowance against Calica deferred tax assets, including NOL carryforwards
Adjusted for these discrete items, earnings attributable to Vulcan from continuing operations (Adjusted Diluted EPS) was $1.00 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $0.80 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2024.
CONTINUING OPERATIONS — Changes in earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the first quarter of 2025 versus the first quarter of 2024 are summarized below:

in millions |
First quarter 2024 | $ | 133.5 |
Higher aggregates gross profit | 54.0 |
Higher asphalt gross profit | 0.1 |
Higher concrete gross profit | 6.3 |
Higher selling, administrative and general expenses | (8.6) |
Higher gain on sale of property, plant & equipment and businesses | 6.8 |
Higher interest expense, net | (20.6) |
All other | (7.4) |
First quarter 2025 | $ | 164.1 |

First quarter Aggregates segment gross profit increased 18% to $357.3 million (increased 19% to $7.48 on a per ton basis), and gross profit margin expanded 320 basis points. Cash gross profit per ton increased 20% to $10.63 per ton resulting from geographically widespread pricing growth and 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% compared to the prior year. 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 7.0% (mix-adjusted pricing increased 8.5%) compared to the prior year. Freight-adjusted unit cash cost of sales decreased 3% ($0.33 per ton) as a result of continued operational cost discipline and moderating inflationary pressures.
Overall, non-aggregates segments gross profit of $8.0 million was $6.4 million higher than the prior year’s first quarter.
Asphalt segment gross profit of $4.8 million was in line with the prior year’s first quarter, and cash gross profit of $16.8 million was a 24% increase from the prior year. Asphalt mix shipments increased 4%, and pricing increased 4.5%, resulting in a 19% improvement in unit cash gross profit.
Concrete segment gross profit of $3.2 million was up $6.3 million from the prior year's first quarter, and cash gross profit of $18.6 million was a 103% increase from the prior year. Unit gross profit increased 191%, and unit cash gross profit increased 77% through a combination of improvement in the legacy business and the benefit of acquired operations. Shipments increased 15%, and pricing increased 3.6% versus the prior year.
SAG expense was $138.3 million for the first quarter compared to $129.7 million in the prior year. As a percent of total revenues on a trailing-twelve months basis, SAG expense was 7.2% in the first quarter, unchanged from the prior year.
Gain on sale of property, plant & equipment and businesses was $7.4 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2024.
Other operating income (expense), net which is composed primarily of idle facilities expense, environmental remediation costs, gain (loss) on settlement of AROs, finance charges collected and net rental income (expense), was $8.0 million of expense for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $2.9 million of expense in the first quarter of 2024.
28

Other nonoperating income (expense), net was $2.6 million of expense for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $0.3 million of expense in the first quarter of 2024.
Net interest expense was $59.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $39.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to a higher debt level resulting from the November 2024 notes issuances.
Income tax expense from continuing operations was $33.8 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $28.9 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in tax expense was primarily due to an increase in pretax earnings.
Earnings attributable to Vulcan from continuing operations were $0.98 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $0.78 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2024.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS — First quarter pretax loss from discontinued operations was $1.3 million in 2025 compared with a pretax loss of $2.3 million in 2024. Both periods include charges related to general and product liability costs, including legal defense costs, and environmental remediation costs associated with our former Chemicals business. For additional details, see Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements under the caption Discontinued Operations.
KNOWN TRENDS OR UNCERTAINTIES
Inflationary pressures and labor constraints can be factors that impact our operations. Although inflationary pressures can create short-term to medium-term headwinds, the combination of inflation and visibility of demand may create a favorable environment for price increases. Additionally, labor constraints can cause delays and inefficiencies in our operations as well as those of our customers. If labor constraints continue, our operations may proceed at a slower pace, which may effectively extend the recovery while allowing us the opportunity to compound price, control costs and grow earnings.
Our industry is experiencing uncertainty due to rapid changes in global trade policies including announced tariff increases, potential additional tariff increases and other measures that could restrict international trade. Economic pressures on our customers, including the challenges of inflation and the impact of tariffs and other trade measures, may negatively impact our shipment volumes. We will continue to evaluate the evolving macroeconomic environment to take action to mitigate the impact on our business.
Further, the Mexican government has taken actions adverse to our property and operations in Mexico. On May 5, 2022, Mexican government officials presented employees at our Calica operations in Quintana Roo, Mexico with arbitrary shutdown orders to immediately cease underwater quarrying and extraction operations. On May 13, 2022, the Mexican government suspended the three-year customs permit granted in March 2022 to Calica and began a proceeding that could result in the revocation of that permit. In September 2024, the Mexican government ordered the closure of Calica's already-suspended quarrying activities and the shutdown of certain activities at Calica's Punta Venado port facilities. On September 23, 2024, the President of Mexico signed a presidential decree declaring the entirety of Calica's properties as a "Natural Protected Area" (the "ANP Decree"). Among other provisions, the ANP Decree prohibits Calica from extracting petrous or construction materials from its properties. We strongly believe that the actions taken by Mexico are arbitrary and illegal, and we intend to vigorously pursue all lawful avenues available to us in order to protect our rights, under both Mexican and international law. For additional information regarding our Calica operations, see the NAFTA Arbitration section in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
AGGREGATES SEGMENT FREIGHT-ADJUSTED REVENUES
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 measure 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:

| Three Months Ended March 31 |

CASH GROSS PROFIT
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. Segment freight-adjusted sales price is calculated by dividing revenues generated from the shipment of product (excluding service revenues generated by the segments) by the total units of the product shipped. Reconciliation of these metrics to their nearest GAAP measures are presented below:

EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA
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):

| Three Months Ended March 31 |  | Trailing-Twelve Months March 31

ADJUSTED DILUTED EPS ATTRIBUTABLE TO VULCAN FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
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:

NET DEBT TO ADJUSTED EBITDA
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:

RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL
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-five 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):

| Trailing-Twelve Months

2025 PROJECTED ADJUSTED EBITDA
Projected Adjusted EBITDA 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:

in millions | 2025 Projected Mid-point
Net earnings attributable to Vulcan | $ | 1,090 |
Income tax expense, including discontinued operations | 315 |
Interest expense, net of interest income | 245 |
Depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization | 800 |
Projected EBITDA 1 | $ | 2,450 |
Items included in YTD Adjusted EBITDA | 0 |
Projected Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 2,450 |

1 Includes $150 million estimated contribution from acquisitions.
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.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by our operating activities, a substantial, committed bank line of credit and our commercial paper program. Additional sources of capital include access to the capital markets, the sale of surplus real estate and dispositions of nonstrategic operating assets. We believe these financial resources are sufficient to fund our business requirements for 2025 including:
▪contractual obligations
▪capital expenditures
▪debt service obligations
▪dividend payments
▪potential acquisitions
▪potential share repurchases
Our balanced approach to capital deployment remains unchanged. We intend to balance reinvestment in our business, growth through acquisitions and return of capital to shareholders, while sustaining financial strength and flexibility.
We actively manage our capital structure and resources in order to balance the cost of capital and the risk of financial stress. We seek to meet these objectives by adhering to the following principles:
▪maintain substantial bank line of credit borrowing capacity
▪proactively manage our debt maturity schedule such that repayment/refinancing risk in any single year is low
▪maintain an appropriate balance of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt
▪minimize financial and other covenants that limit our operating and financial flexibility

Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 251.5 |  | $ | 173.4 |

1 Primarily reflects changes to working capital balances.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $251.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, a $78.1 million increase compared to the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher earnings after adjusting for non-cash charges for depreciation, depletion, accretion and amortization.
Days sales outstanding, a measurement of the time it takes to collect receivables, were 42.3 days at March 31, 2025 compared to 43.0 days at March 31, 2024. Additionally, our over 90 day receivables balance was $28.5 million at March 31, 2025, an increase of $5.8 million from the $22.7 million balance at March 31, 2024. All customer accounts are actively managed, and no losses in excess of amounts reserved are currently expected.
CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used for investing activities was $126.5 million during the first three months of 2025, a $37.3 million decrease compared to the same period of 2024. During the first three months of 2024, we acquired businesses for $12.3 million whereas there were no business acquisitions in the first three months of 2025. Conversely, during the first three months of 2025, we sold businesses in Texas for $19.0 million whereas there were no business dispositions in the first three months of 2024 (see Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for acquisitions and divestitures). Additionally, during the first three months of 2025, we invested $168.0 million in our existing operations (includes changes in accruals for property, plant & equipment) compared to $152.8 million in the prior year period. This $168.0 million investment includes both maintenance and internal growth projects to enhance our distribution capabilities, develop new production sites and improve existing production facilities.
CASH FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used for financing activities was $532.9 million during the first three months of 2025, a $125.8 million decrease compared to cash used of $658.7 million in the same period of 2024. The current year includes cash paid to redeem the $400.0 million senior notes due 2025 whereas the prior year includes cash paid to redeem the $550.0 million senior notes due 2026. Additionally, we returned $104.1 million to shareholders (a $23.3 million increase over the prior year) through $66.0 million of dividends ($0.49 per share compared to $0.46 per share) and $38.1 million of common stock repurchases (170,000 shares repurchased at $224.36 average price per share in 2025 compared to 70,932 shares repurchased at $265.44 average price per share in 2024).

At March 31, 2025, total debt to trailing-twelve months Adjusted EBITDA was 2.3 times (2.2 times on a net debt basis reflecting $192.9 million of cash on hand). Our weighted-average debt maturity was 13.4 years, and our total weighted-average effective interest rate was 5.00%.
LINE OF CREDIT AND COMMERCIAL PAPER PROGRAM
Our $1,600.0 million commercial paper program was established in August 2022 and matures in November 2029. Commercial paper borrowings bear interest at rates determined at the time of borrowing and as agreed between us and the commercial paper investors. As of March 31, 2025, we had $550.0 million in long-term commercial paper borrowings with a 4.69% effective interest rate.
Our $1,600.0 million unsecured line of credit was amended in November 2024 to extend the maturity date from August 2027 to November 2029. Our line of credit contains covenants customary for an unsecured investment-grade facility. Covenants, borrowings, cost ranges and other details are described in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants, the margin for SOFR borrowings was 1.125%, the margin for base rate borrowings was 0.125% and the commitment fee for the unused amount was 0.100%.
As of March 31, 2025, our available borrowing capacity under the line of credit was $1,576.1 million. Utilization of the borrowing capacity was as follows:
▪None was borrowed
▪$23.9 million was used to support standby letters of credit
TERM DEBT
All of our $4,990.7 million (face value) of term debt (which includes $550.0 million of commercial paper) is unsecured. All of the covenants in the debt agreements are customary for investment-grade facilities. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all term debt covenants.
In November 2024, we issued $500.0 million of 4.95% senior notes due 2029, $750.0 million of 5.35% senior notes due 2034 and $750.0 million of 5.70% senior notes due 2054. Total proceeds of $1,975.0 million (net of discounts and transaction costs), together with cash on hand, were used to provide liquidity for acquisitions in 2024 and debt maturing in 2025.
In March 2025, we redeemed the $400.0 million senior notes due April 2025 using cash on hand.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements such as financing or unconsolidated variable interest entities.
STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT
For a discussion of our standby letters of credit, see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We follow certain significant accounting policies when preparing our consolidated financial statements. A summary of these policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (Form 10-K).
We prepare these financial statements to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingent assets and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience, current conditions and various other assumptions we believe reasonable under existing circumstances and evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. The results of these estimates form the basis for our judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment with respect to commitments and contingencies. Our actual results may materially differ from these estimates.
We believe that the accounting policies described in the “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section of our Form 10-K require the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
For a discussion of the accounting standards recently adopted or pending adoption and the effect such accounting changes will have on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity, see Note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

MARKET RISK
We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions that are entered into in the normal course of business. To manage these market risks, we may use derivative financial instruments. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
As discussed in the Liquidity and Financial Resources section of Part I, Item 2 "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", we actively manage our capital structure and resources to balance the cost of capital and risk of financial stress. Such activity includes balancing the cost and risk of interest expense. In addition to floating-rate borrowings, we at times use interest rate swaps to manage the mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt.
At March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt including current maturities was $4,794.9 million compared to a face value of $4,990.7 million. The estimated fair value was determined by averaging several asking price quotes for the publicly traded notes and assuming par value for the remainder of the debt. The fair value estimate is based on information available as of the balance sheet date. The effect of a decline in interest rates of one percentage point would increase the fair value of our debt by approximately $395.7 million.
We are exposed to certain economic risks related to the costs of our pension and other postretirement benefit plans. These economic risks include changes in the discount rate for high-quality bonds and the expected return on plan assets. The impact of a change in these assumptions on our annual pension and other postretirement benefits costs is discussed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a - 15(e) or 15d - 15(e)), include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the participation of other management officials, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
In the first quarter of 2025, we replaced our legacy financial consolidation system. In addition, we are in the process of implementing a comprehensive enterprise performance management system that will replace our existing management reporting, budgeting and forecasting system. We expect the full implementation of this system to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025. Excluding the acquisitions of Wake Stone and Superior noted below, no other changes were made during the first quarter of 2025 to our internal controls over financial reporting, nor have there been other factors that materially affect these controls.
We completed our acquisitions of Wake Stone on November 8, 2024 and Superior on December 20, 2024, both of which operated under their own set of systems and internal controls. We are currently integrating both companies into our operations and internal control processes. This integration will continue during the first year of each business combination.
