Welcome to the Vulcan Materials Company third quarter 2026 earnings call. Thoughtful portfolio actions and solid execution delivered adjusted EBITDA of $707 million and 20 basis points of year-over-year margin expansion in the quarter.

Q3 FY26 earnings call · Oct 29, 2026
Q3 FY26

TL;DR. Third-quarter revenue, gross profit, net earnings and adjusted EBITDA declined year over year, aggregate shipments fell 3%, and management expects only modest full-year volume growth amid higher energy-related unit costs. Positive execution supported a 32.3% adjusted EBITDA margin, higher aggregate cash gross profit per ton, substantial capital returns, bolt-on acquisitions, approximately $2.4 billion of 2026 adjusted EBITDA, and 2027 earnings growth with mid- to high-single-digit pricing gains, while residential construction remains constrained by affordability and interest rates.

Bullish
  • + Underlying adjusted EBITDA grew 5% and quarterly adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 20 basis points to 32.3%.
  • + Aggregate cash gross profit per ton increased year over year to $11.95.
  • + Management expects approximately $2.4 billion of 2026 adjusted EBITDA and another year of earnings growth in 2027.
  • + Management expects mid- to high-single-digit aggregates pricing gains in 2027.
  • + The company continued its aggregates-led acquisition strategy and expects several more transactions before year-end.
  • + Vulcan generated nearly $1 billion of operating cash flow and returned approximately $950 million to shareholders through dividends and repurchases.
Bearish
  • − Aggregate shipments decreased 3% year over year.
  • − Freight-adjusted aggregate cash cost of sales increased 7% year over year, and management expects mid-single-digit full-year cost growth.
  • − Energy-related costs are expected to create approximately $120 million of full-year headwinds.
  • − Affordability and interest rates are limiting residential construction activity.
