Volumes, customers and pricing

  • Construction, environmental and steel volumes grew: Sales volume increases in the 2025 periods came principally from construction, environmental and steel customers. Source
  • Oil and gas services volumes declined: Sales volume to oil and gas services customers decreased, partly offsetting the volume gains from other customer groups. Source
  • Prices and volumes both lifted revenue: Revenue growth in the third quarter and nine months came from higher sales volumes and higher average selling prices for lime and limestone products. Source

“Demand from our construction customers remained solid, supported by the construction of large data centers in the regions that we serve,”

Timothy W. Byrne, President and Chief Executive Officer

Costs and margins

  • Gross profit rose with revenue: Gross profit was $52.2 million in the third quarter, up $9.1 million or 21.1%. Nine-month gross profit was $140.2 million, up 29.2%. Source
  • Third-quarter SG&A rose on personnel: SG&A expenses were $5.9 million in the third quarter, up $1.0 million or 19.1%. Management attributed the rise to personnel costs, including stock-based compensation. Source

  • Quarterly dividend set at $0.06: The Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share on the common stock. Source
  • Dividend rate unchanged from second quarter: The second-quarter release declared the same $0.06 quarterly dividend, so the per-share rate did not change between the two quarters.
  • Dividend payable December 12, 2025: The dividend is payable December 12, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 21, 2025. Source
