News For Immediate Release

EAGLE MATERIALS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

DALLAS, TX (February 4, 2020) Eagle Materials Inc. (NYSE: EXP) today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 ended December 31, 2019. 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 2020 Results

Third quarter revenue of $350.2 million, up 5%
Net loss per diluted share of $2.77, down 323%
--- ---
Asset impairments of $224.3 million related to the Oil and Gas Proppants business were the principal factor<br>contributing to the net loss for the quarter
--- ---
Adjusted earnings per share of $1.51, up 22%
--- ---
Adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by<br>excluding non-routine items in the manner described in Attachment 6.
--- ---
Net loss of $114.6 million, down 299%
--- ---
Adjusted EBITDA of $118.7 million, up 6%
--- ---
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by excluding non-routine items in the manner described in Attachment 6.
--- ---

Commenting on the third quarter results, Michael Haack, President and CEO, said, “We are pleased that during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 we capitalized on robust underlying demand across our geographic footprint to achieve a 5% revenue improvement. Notably, our Cement sales volume was up 7% to a record 1.4 million tons. Market demand for our Wallboard also remained healthy, with shipments up 2%. Our operational cost-control initiatives and continued strong operational execution also contributed to the favorable third-quarter performance.”

Mr. Haack concluded, “The outlook for calendar 2020 is positive. We expect demand for our building materials and construction products will continue to be supported by several advantageous market dynamics, including ongoing growth in jobs, high consumer confidence and low interest rates.”

As previously announced, on November 25, 2019, Eagle entered into a definitive agreement with Kosmos Cement Company (a joint venture between CEMEX S.A.B. de C.V. and Buzzi Unicem S.p.A), to purchase the Kosmos cement plant in Louisville, Kentucky, as well as seven distribution terminals and substantial raw-material reserves. The plant has the capacity to produce nearly 1.7 million tons of cement annually. Eagle expects that the acquisition will

increase its U.S. annual cement capacity by approximately 25% to more than 7.5 million tons.    The purchase price is $665 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Eagle expects the transaction to close in its fiscal 2020 fourth quarter following the receipt of required regulatory approvals and other typical closing conditions. Eagle intends to finance the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under a new syndicated term loan facility.

Segment Results

Heavy Materials: Cement, Concrete and Aggregates

Revenue in the Heavy Materials sector, which includes Cement, Concrete and Aggregates, and Joint Venture and intersegment Cement revenue, was $229.8 million, an 18% increase. Heavy Materials operating earnings increased 19% to $57.5 million primarily because of higher sales volume and net sales prices.

Cement revenue, including Joint Venture and intersegment revenue, was up 12% to $183.0 million, reflecting improved net sales prices and sales volume. The average net sales price for the quarter increased 2% to $110.09 per ton. Cement sales volume for the quarter was a record 1.4 million tons, up 7% versus the prior year.

Operating earnings from Cement were $54.2 million, 15% above the same quarter a year ago. The earnings improvement was primarily due to higher sales volume and net sales prices.

Concrete and Aggregates revenue for the third quarter was $46.8 million, an increase of 53%. Third quarter operating earnings were $3.3 million, a 222% increase, reflecting record Concrete sales volume, improved Concrete and Aggregates sales prices and the financial results of a small concrete and aggregates business that Eagle acquired in August 2019.

Light Materials: Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboard

Revenue in the Light Materials sector, which includes Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboard, declined 4% from the prior year, as improved sales volume was offset by lower pricing. Gypsum Wallboard sales volume was 669 million square feet (MMSF), up approximately 2%, while the average Gypsum Wallboard net sales price declined 8% to $146.46 per MSF.

Paperboard sales volume for the quarter was up 8%. The average Paperboard net sales price this quarter was $460.65 per ton, down 11%, primarily as a result of the pricing provisions in our long-term sales agreements.

Operating earnings were $47.5 million in the sector, a decline of 7%, due primarily to lower net sales prices and increased costs associated with the plant expansion partially offset by improved sales volume and lower operating costs. Operating costs during the quarter declined primarily due to lower energy and recycled fiber costs. In connection with the planned expansion of our papermill, we had an extended outage during the quarter to install new operating equipment. This outage reduced production and led to increased costs of approximately $1.5 million during the quarter.

2

Oil and Gas Proppants

Revenue in the Oil and Gas Proppants segment was $7.3 million, down 48%, primarily reflecting a 45% decrease in Frac Sand sales volume. The operating loss of $6.8 million during the quarter included $3.4 million of depreciation, depletion and amortization.

During the second half of calendar year 2019, our Frac Sand business has been increasingly affected by a combination of reduced drilling and completion activity and increased use of local in-basin sand by oil field service companies and other customers instead of northern white frac sand. These trends are expected to continue in the near term. Consequently, in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the third quarter of fiscal 2020, we recorded impairments of $217 million for long-lived assets and $7 million of other assets.

Planned Separation of Heavy Materials and LightMaterials Businesses

As previously announced on May 30, 2019, the Company plans to separate its Heavy Materials and Light Materials businesses into two independent, publicly traded corporations by means of a tax-free spin-off to Eagle shareholders. We anticipate that the separation will be completed in the summer of calendar 2020. The Company also continues to pursue alternatives for its Oil and Gas Proppants business.

Details ofFinancial 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 Eagle for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

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

About Eagle Materials Inc.

Eagle Materials Inc. manufactures and distributes Portland Cement, Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Gypsum Paperboard, and Concrete, Sand and Aggregates from more than 75 facilities across the US. Eagle’s corporate headquarters is in Dallas, Texas.

EXP’s senior management will conduct a conference call to discuss the financial results, forward looking information and othermatters at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time (7:30 a.m. Central Time) on Tuesday, February 4, 2020.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(unaudited)

(Dollars inthousands, other than earnings per share amounts, and number of shares in millions)

Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (Adjusted EPS)

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents earnings per diluted share excluding the impacts from non-routine items, such as impairment losses and business development costs (Non-routine Items). Management uses measures of earnings excluding the impact of Non-routine Items as a basis for comparing 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 earnings per diluted share in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended December 31, 2019:

^4^ As reported diluted average shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2019 excludes<br>approximately 300,000 equity instruments to purchase share of common stock as their impact would be antidilutive because Eagle’s reported income was in a loss position during the period.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Similar to the presentation of Adjusted EPS, we present Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA to provide 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 same non-routine items excluded in the calculation of Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share as described above. Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as alternative bases for comparing the operating performance of Eagle from period to period, for purposes of its budgeting and planning processes, and for purposes of monitoring compliance with specific requirements of its credit agreement and other debt instruments. 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 in accordance with GAAP.

The following shows the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles them to net (loss) earnings in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Three Months Ended<br>December 31,
2019 2018

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense (33,933 ) 16,803
