News For Immediate Release

EAGLE MATERIALS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

DALLAS, TX (January 29, 2025) Eagle Materials Inc. (NYSE: EXP) today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 ended December 31, 2024. Notable items for the quarter are highlighted below (unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are with the prior year’s fiscal third quarter):

Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Highlights

Revenue of $558.0 million
Net Earnings of $119.6 million
--- ---
Net Earnings per share of $3.56
--- ---
Adjusted net earnings per share (Adjusted EPS) of $3.59
--- ---
Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by excluding non-routine items in the manner described in Attachment 6
--- ---
Adjusted EBITDA of $208.8 million
--- ---
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by excluding non-routine items and certain non-cash expenses in the manner described in Attachment 6
--- ---
Repurchased approximately 195,000 shares of Eagle’s common stock for $55 million
--- ---

Commenting on the third quarter results, Michael Haack, President and CEO, said, “Eagle’s portfolio of businesses continued to perform well despite ongoing adverse weather in our Midwest and Great Plains markets, where rainfall in November was 250% higher than normal. The excessive rainfall affected sales volume in our Cement and Concrete and Aggregates businesses, although we achieved higher sales volume in Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard. On a company-wide basis, we generated revenue of $558 million and achieved a gross profit margin of 31.9%. We also continued advancing our long-term growth and value-creation strategies: during the quarter, we announced the acquisition of Bullskin Stone and Lime, LLC, a pure-play aggregates business in Western Pennsylvania; returned $63 million of cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends; and maintained our balance sheet strength, ending the quarter with debt of $1.0 billion and a net leverage ratio (net debt to Adjusted EBITDA) of 1.2x.” (Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from debt as described in Attachment 6).

Mr. Haack continued, “While the path to lower interest rates and improved home-buying affordability is less certain today, we remain optimistic about our businesses and our ability to execute on the opportunities in front of us. Steady employment, housing supply that remains chronically short, and our cost-structure advantages continue to provide favorable conditions for our Gypsum Wallboard business in this dynamic environment. On the cement side, spending from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) is still in the beginning phases, which should support multiple years of strong cement demand.”

“Our balance sheet and cash-flow generation remain healthy, supporting our capital allocation priorities, and our consistent, disciplined operational and strategic approach should position us to continue to perform well through economic cycles and deliver value over the long term.”

Segment Financial Results

Heavy Materials: Cement,Concrete and Aggregates

Revenue in the Heavy Materials sector, which includes Cement, Concrete and Aggregates, as well as Joint Venture and intersegment Cement revenue, was down 4% to $351.8 million. Heavy Materials operating earnings decreased 20% to $85.4 million. Both declines resulted from lower sales volume partially offset by higher sales prices.

Cement revenue for the quarter, including Joint Venture and intersegment revenue, was down 4% to $295.4 million, and operating earnings were down 18% to $86.8 million. These declines reflect lower Cement sales volume and an $8 million increase in Cement maintenance costs, partially offset by higher Cement net sales prices. The increase in Cement maintenance costs primarily relates to nontypical planned outages at our Oklahoma and Texas cement plants that were necessary to maintain and extend plant reliability. This maintenance was completed during the quarter. The average net sales price for the quarter was up 4% to $156.82 per ton, a result of Cement price increases implemented earlier this calendar year. Cement sales volume decreased 7% to 1.7 million tons. Sales volume was affected by ongoing adverse weather during the quarter, particularly in our Midwest and Great Plains markets during November.

Concrete and Aggregates revenue decreased 2% to $56.4 million, reflecting lower Concrete and Aggregates sales volume, partially offset by higher Concrete and Aggregates pricing and $3.1 million of revenue contribution from the recently acquired aggregates business in Kentucky. The third quarter operating loss of $1.4 million reflects lower Concrete and Aggregates sales volume.

Light Materials: Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard

Revenue in the Light Materials sector, which includes Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard, increased 6% to $241.7 million, reflecting higher Wallboard and Paperboard sales volume and prices. Gypsum Wallboard sales volume was up 2% to 737 million square feet (MMSF), and the average Gypsum Wallboard net sales price increased 4% to $236.11 per MSF.

Paperboard sales volume for the quarter was up 7% to 90,000 tons. The average Paperboard net sales price was $627.04 per ton, up 12%, consistent with the pricing provisions in our long-term sales agreements that factor in changes to input costs.

Operating earnings in the sector were $97.4 million, an increase of 18%, reflecting higher Wallboard and Paperboard sales volume and pricing.

2

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses increased by approximately 47% compared with the prior year. The increase was primarily related to increases in information technology spending of $1.9 million for technology upgrades, and $1.3 million of costs associated with business-development and transaction-related activities.

Details of Financial Results

We conduct one of our cement plant operations through a 50/50 joint venture, Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP (the Joint Venture). We use the equity method of accounting for our 50% interest in the Joint Venture. For segment reporting purposes only, we proportionately consolidate our 50% share of the Joint Venture’s revenue and operating earnings, which is consistent with the way management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

In addition, for segment reporting purposes, we report intersegment revenue as part of a segment’s total revenue. Intersegment sales are eliminated on the consolidated income statement. Refer to Attachment 3 for a reconciliation of these amounts.

Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (Adjusted EPS)

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents net earnings per diluted share excluding the impacts from non-routine items, such as the impact of selling acquired inventory after its markup to fair value as part of acquisition accounting and business development costs and litigation losses (Non-routine Items). Management uses measures of earnings excluding the impact of Non-routine Items as a performance measure to compare operating results of the Company from period to period and for purposes of its budgeting and planning processes. Although management believes that Adjusted EPS is useful in evaluating the Company’s business, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for, earnings per diluted share and the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our presentation of Adjusted EPS may not be the same as similarly titled measures reported by other companies, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. The following shows the calculation of Adjusted EPS and reconciles Adjusted EPS to net earnings per diluted share in accordance with GAAP for the quarters ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

We present Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA to provide additional measures of operating performance and allow for more consistent comparison of operating performance from period to period. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that provides supplemental information regarding the operating performance of our business without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical cost basis. Adjusted EBITDA is also a non-GAAP financial measure that further excludes the impact from Non-routine Items and stock-based compensation. Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as alternative bases for comparing the operating performance of Eagle from period to period and for purposes of its budgeting and planning processes. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity in accordance with GAAP. The following shows the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles them to net earnings in accordance with GAAP for the quarters and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024:

Reconciliation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA

GAAP does not define “Net Debt” and it should not be considered as an alternative to debt as defined by GAAP. We define Net Debt as total debt minus cash and cash equivalents to indicate the amount of total debt that would remain if the Company applied the cash and cash equivalents held by it to the payment of outstanding debt. The Company also uses “Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA,” which it defines as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months, as an alternative metric to assist it in understanding its leverage position. We present this metric for the convenience of the investment community and rating agencies who use such metrics in their analysis, and for investors who need to understand the metrics we use to assess performance and monitor our cash and liquidity positions.

As of<br>December 31, 2024 As of<br>March 31, 2024
Total debt, excluding debt issuance costs $ 1,010,000 $ 1,102,500
Cash and cash equivalents 31,173 34,925
Net Debt $ 978,827 $ 1,067,575
Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA $ 829,898 834,494
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA 1.2x 1.3x
