Commenting on the annual results, Michael Haack, President and CEO, said, “Amid geopolitical uncertainty and ongoing fiscal and trade policy disruptions, our combined businesses delivered strong financial, operational, and strategic performance in fiscal 2026. We generated record revenue of $2.3 billion, gross profit margin of 28.3%, and operating cash flow of $614 million. Our Cement sales volume was up 8%, and our organic Aggregates sales volume increased 24%, supported by continued growth in public construction activity and large private non-residential projects, as well as more typical weather patterns. While continuing to invest in our plant network and employee health and safety, we returned $414 million of cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends and strengthened our balance sheet with a debt issuance that enhances our debt maturity schedule, increases our liquidity, and aligns our capital structure with the long-term investments we are making in our asset network. We ended the year with debt of $1.8 billion, net debt of $1.5 billion, and a net leverage ratio (net debt to Adjusted EBITDA) of 1.9x, giving us substantial financial flexibility that supports disciplined, value-enhancing capital allocation 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).

“Employee health, safety, and environmental stewardship remain paramount priorities, and I am proud that our team continues to advance our leadership in these areas. In fiscal 2026, hazard observation reporting improved by 24%, and remains our most valuable leading indicator for preventing incidents. As always, we continue to strive for zero safety incidents.

“On the strategic front, we made significant progress modernizing our Laramie, Wyoming Cement plant and our Duke, Oklahoma Gypsum Wallboard plant. We are approximately 60% complete with the Mountain Cement plant modernization and expect commissioning of the new kiln line to begin in late calendar 2026. Construction on the Duke, Oklahoma wallboard plant modernization started in the fall of 2025, and we expect to commission the new wallboard line in the second half of calendar 2027. These investments are expected to increase the capacity of both plants, reduce operating costs, and enhance production flexibility and reliability, thereby strengthening our competitive position.

Mr. Haack concluded, “While evolving geopolitical, trade and fiscal-policy conditions create some near-term uncertainty in the demand outlook for our products, we remain resolute in our focus and committed to positioning Eagle for sustained performance across economic cycles. We have a long track record of navigating challenging market conditions, and I am confident that our strong market positions, solid capital structure, and ongoing disciplined investment in our people and assets position us for continued success over the long term.”

Capital Allocation Priorities

Eagle maintains a disciplined capital allocation process to enhance shareholder value. Our allocation priorities remain: 1. Investing in growth opportunities that are consistent with our strategic priorities and meet our strict financial return standards; 2. Making operating capital investments to maintain and strengthen our low-cost producer position; and 3. Returning excess cash to shareholders, primarily through our share repurchase program.

Over the past five fiscal years, we have invested $388.4 million in acquisitions, $905.0 million in organic capital expenditures, and $2.2 billion in share repurchases and dividends.

Segment Financial Results

Heavy Materials: Cement, Concrete and Aggregates

Fiscal 2026 revenue in the Heavy Materials sector, which includes Cement and Concrete and Aggregates, as well as Joint Venture and intersegment Cement revenue, was up 10% to $1.6 billion, and annual operating earnings also increased 10%, to $341.2 million. Both increases were due primarily to higher Cement and Aggregates sales volume and the contribution from the acquired aggregates businesses in Western Pennsylvania and Northern Kentucky during the prior year. The sales volume increases were driven by continued strength in public infrastructure construction activity as well as increased construction activity in certain areas of private non-residential construction.

Fiscal 2026 Cement revenue, including Joint Venture and intersegment revenue, was up 8% to $1.3 billion, and Cement operating earnings increased 3% to $328.3 million. These increases reflect higher Cement sales volume, partially offset by lower net sales prices. Annual Cement sales volume was up 8% to 7.5 million tons, while the average annual net Cement sales price for the year decreased 1% to $155.18 per ton.

Fourth quarter Cement revenue, including Joint Venture and intersegment revenue, was up 15% to $245.7 million, reflecting higher sales volume, partially offset by lower Cement sales prices. Operating earnings increased 31% to $36.1 million, reflecting higher sales volume and lower operating costs, namely maintenance costs, partially offset by lower net sales prices.

Fourth quarter Cement sales volume was up 15% to 1.4 million tons. The average net Cement sales price for the quarter decreased 2% to $153.99 per ton.

Fiscal 2026 Concrete and Aggregates revenue increased 19% to $283.3 million, as a result of higher sales volume and $30.6 million of revenue from the acquired aggregates businesses. Excluding the contribution from the recently acquired businesses, Aggregates revenue increased 6%, and sales volume was up 24%. Concrete and Aggregates operating earnings was $12.9 million in fiscal 2026.

Fourth quarter Concrete and Aggregates revenue was $58.9 million, an increase of 8%, primarily driven by higher Aggregates sales volume. Concrete and Aggregates reported a fourth quarter operating loss of $2.6 million, compared with a loss of $9.4 million in the prior-year fourth quarter. The current quarter operating loss primarily reflects normal seasonal trends in the business, which resulted in lower demand and reduced operating leverage. The prior year’s fourth quarter operating loss included $1.9 million of acquisition-related expenses.

Light Materials: Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard

Fiscal 2026 revenue in the Light Materials sector, which includes Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard, decreased 9% to $881.4 million, as a result of lower Gypsum Wallboard sales volume and prices. Gypsum Wallboard annual sales volume was 2.8 billion square feet (BSF), down 7% from the prior year because of continued softness in residential construction, and the average net sales price was down 4% to $226.08 per MSF. Recycled Paperboard annual sales volume was down 3% to 341,000 tons.

Fiscal 2026 Light Materials operating earnings were $331.4 million, a decrease of 15%, resulting principally from lower Gypsum Wallboard sales volume and net sales prices.

Fourth quarter Light Materials revenue declined 9% to $214.6 million, reflecting lower Gypsum Wallboard sales volume, which decreased 4% to 690 million square feet (MMSF), while the average net sales price was down 8% to $213.27 per MSF. Sequentially, the Gypsum Wallboard net sales price was down approximately $12 per msf, approximately $2 of which was associated with higher freight costs in the fourth quarter.

Recycled Paperboard sales volume for the quarter was up 5% to 88,000 tons. The average Recycled Paperboard net sales price for the fourth quarter was $587.33 per ton, down 1%, consistent with the pricing provisions in our long-term sales agreements that factor in changes to input costs.

Fourth quarter operating earnings in the sector were $78.3 million, a decrease of 14%, reflecting lower Gypsum Wallboard sales volume and net sales prices.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses

Fiscal 2026 Corporate General and Administrative Expenses increased by approximately 21%, primarily because of $4.8 million in costs for technology upgrades, and $7.8 million of compensation related costs.

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 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 Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Refer to Attachment 3 for a reconciliation of these amounts.
