EAGLE MATERIALS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
DALLAS, TX (July 29, 2026) Eagle Materials Inc. (NYSE: EXP) today reported financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 ended June 30, 2026. Notable items for the quarter are highlighted below. (Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons are with the prior year’s fiscal first quarter.)
First Quarter Fiscal 2027 Highlights
- Record Revenue of $651.0 million, up 3%
- Net Earnings of $102.1 million, down 17%
- Net Earnings per diluted share of $3.29, down 13%
- Cashflow from Operations of $154 million, up 13%
- Adjusted EBITDA of $190.5 million, down 11%
- Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by excluding non-routine items (including certain non-cash expenses) in the manner described in Attachment 6
- Repurchased 406,500 shares of Eagle common stock for approximately $84 million
Commenting on the first quarter results, Michael Haack, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Eagle delivered a solid start to fiscal 2027, despite ongoing geopolitical, trade and fiscal policy uncertainty, our diversified portfolio of businesses continued to perform well, supported by resilient end markets. Our Cement sales volume increased 8%, driven by sustained strength in public construction activity and large private non-residential projects. The growth in our cement sales volume was offset by an approximately $6 million earnings impact resulting from an unexpected equipment failure at our Mountain Cement facility. This equipment failure did not affect the ongoing modernization project. and we expect to recover a portion of this impact through our insurance coverage. Importantly, we utilized our network of cement plants to continue meeting customer demand without interruption. This incident further underscores the importance of our Mountain Cement modernization investment, which is intended to enhance the facility’s long-term reliability and operational performance. Our Wallboard sales volume experienced only a slight decline despite continued softness in residential construction activity. Additionally, we incurred higher delivery costs across our Cement and Wallboard businesses, primarily driven by elevated diesel prices during the quarter.”
Mr. Haack continued, “In the midst of this ongoing volatility, we remained focused on investing in our plant network and advancing our commitment to employee health and safety while continuing to return capital to shareholders. During the quarter, we made meaningful progress on the modernizations of our Laramie, Wyoming Cement and our Duke, Oklahoma Gypsum Wallboard plants - investments that will further strengthen our competitive position. We also repurchased 406,500 shares of our common stock for approximately $84 million.
We ended the quarter with debt of $1.8 billion, net debt of $1.5 billion, and a net leverage ratio (net debt to Adjusted EBITDA) of 2.1x, providing substantial financial flexibility to support our disciplined capital allocation strategy and long-term growth.” (Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents from debt, as described in Attachment 6).
Mr. Haack concluded, “We have a long history of successfully navigating dynamic market environments. While fuel cost pressures weighed on profitability in the past quarter, our favorable market positions, strong balance sheet, and continued disciplined investment in our people and assets, position us to deliver solid performance as market conditions evolve and to create value for our shareholders 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, Joint Venture and intersegment Cement revenue, increased 8% to $454.1 million, primarily driven by higher Cement sales volume. Heavy Materials operating earnings decreased 11% to $77.6 million primarily because of higher Cement operating costs.
Cement revenue, including Joint Venture and intersegment revenue, was up 9% to $377.9 million. Operating earnings decreased 9% to $73.6 million, because of higher Cement operating costs partially offset by higher Cement sales volume. Cement operating costs were affected by higher maintenance and raw materials costs and inefficiencies associated with unexpected downtime at our Mountain Cement facility of $7.4 million, $4.2 million, and $6.0 million, respectively, partially offset by lower energy costs of $1.6 million. The average gross Cement sales price was up 1% while the average net Cement sales price decreased 2% as a result of higher freight costs of $3 per ton. Cement sales volume increased 8% to a record 2.1 million tons.
Concrete and Aggregates revenue was up 3% to $76.2 million, driven by higher Aggregates sales volume and prices. Operating earnings were down 35% to $4.0 million, reflecting lower Concrete sales volume and higher operating costs.
Light Materials: Gypsum Wallboard and Paperboard
Revenue in the Light Materials sector, which includes Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard, decreased 5% to $238.2 million, primarily because of lower Gypsum Wallboard sales volume and net prices. Gypsum Wallboard sales volume decreased 2% to 772 million square feet (MMSF) reflecting continued softness in residential construction. The average gross Wallboard price was down 5% from the prior year and flat with the sequential quarter, while the average net sales price declined 10% from the prior year, reflecting higher freight costs.
Recycled Paperboard sales volume was a record 92,000 tons, up 2% from the prior year. The average Recycled Paperboard net sales price in the quarter was $600.44 per ton, up 6%, consistent with the pricing provisions in our long-term sales agreements that factor in changes to input costs.
Operating earnings in the Light Materials sector were $86.5 million, down 15%, reflecting lower Gypsum Wallboard earnings, partially offset by higher Recycled Paperboard earnings.
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 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.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(dollars in thousands)
(unaudited)
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
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, in each case if applicable during the relevant fiscal quarter or fiscal year. 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 ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026, and March 31, 2026:

Attachment 6, continued
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 June 30, 2026 | As of March 31, 2026 |
|---|
| Total debt, excluding debt issuance costs | $1,777,500 | $1,781,250 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 233,539 | 297,920 |
| Net Debt | $1,543,961 | $1,483,330 |
| Trailing Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA | $749,956 | 774,470 |
| Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA | 2.1x | 1.9x |
