Record First Quarter Revenue
Eagle Materials reported record first quarter revenue of $634.7 million, a 4% increase primarily due to higher cement and wallboard sales volume and contributions from recently acquired aggregates businesses.
Safety and Sustainability Progress
The company maintained its safety performance with a total recordable incident rate well below the industry average. Eagle also met its 2030 midterm cement CO2e intensity goal early and enhanced its sustainability reporting.
Strong Aggregates and Cement Volumes
Aggregates volumes improved meaningfully year-over-year, with a 117% increase in aggregate sales volume, including contributions from acquisitions. Cement volumes saw a year-over-year increase, impressive given major weather disruptions.
Continued Investment in Growth
Eagle is investing in modernizing and expanding the Laramie, Wyoming cement plant and the Duke, Oklahoma wallboard plant. The company also repurchased 358,000 shares for $79 million and paid $87 million in dividends.
