NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of U.S. Concrete, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "we," "us," "our," the "Company," or "U.S. Concrete") and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for reporting interim financial information. Some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the "2018 10-K").  In the opinion of our management, all material adjustments necessary to state fairly the information in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. All adjustments are of a normal or recurring nature. All amounts are presented in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted. Certain computations may be impacted by the effect of rounding in this report. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with the current year presentation.


The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions that we consider significant in the preparation of our financial statements include those related to our allowance for doubtful accounts, business combinations, goodwill, intangibles, valuation of contingent consideration, accruals for self-insurance, income taxes, the valuation of inventory and the valuation and useful lives of property, plant and equipment.



2.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Recently Adopted - Lease Accounting. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new lease accounting standard intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, at the commencement date for all leases, excluding mineral interest leases, with terms greater than twelve months. Additionally, this guidance requires disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including qualitative and quantitative requirements. We adopted the guidance as of January 1, 2019, using the transition approach that permits application of the new standard at the adoption date instead of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. We implemented processes and information technology tools to assist in our ongoing lease data collection and analysis and in updating internal controls that were impacted by the new guidance.


In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. We also elected the practical expedient related to land easements, allowing us to carry forward our accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements. We elected to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from the balance sheet. We made an accounting policy election to combine lease and non-lease components when calculating the lease liability under the new standard. Non-lease components, which may include taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other expenses applicable to the leased property, are primarily considered variable costs. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases.


As a result of adopting the new standard, we recorded additional lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $76.9 million and $79.2 million, respectively, on the balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. The additional lease assets equal the lease liabilities, excluding the impact of deferred rent, which was previously recorded in accrued liabilities. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings and had no impact on cash flows.



U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Recently Issued - Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued an update on the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, which requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than the current model of incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade accounts receivable. Application of the new model may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of assessing the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

For our other significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2018 10-K.

3.    LEASES


We are the lessee in a lease contract when we obtain the right to control the asset.  We lease certain land, office space, equipment and vehicles. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 20 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is primarily at our discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.


Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of volume sold over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.


Where observable, we use the implicit interest rate in determining the present value of future payments. Where the implicit interest rate is not observable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.  We give consideration to our outstanding debt as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates.

4.BUSINESS COMBINATIONS


We completed five acquisitions during 2018 that expanded our ready-mixed concrete operations in the Atlantic Region (which we define to include New York, New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania) and expanded our ready-mixed concrete, aggregate products and other non-reportable operations in West Texas. The aggregate fair value consideration for these acquisitions, which were all accounted for as business combinations, was $70.8 million. The acquisitions included the assets and certain liabilities of the following:


On Time Ready Mix, Inc. ("On Time") located in Flushing, New York on January 10, 2018;
Cutrell Trucking, LLC., Dumas Concrete, LLC., Pampa Concrete Co., Inc., Panhandle Concrete, LLC., and Texas Sand & Gravel Co., Inc. (collectively "Golden Spread") located in Amarillo, Texas on March 2, 2018;
Leon River Aggregate Materials, LLC. ("Leon River") located in Proctor, Texas on August 29, 2018; and
Two individually immaterial ready-mixed concrete operations in our Atlantic Region and West Texas Region on March 5, 2018 and September 14, 2018, respectively.



U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The aggregate fair value consideration for these five acquisitions included $69.9 million in cash and fair value contingent consideration of $1.1 million and was net of a working capital receivable of $0.2 million. We funded the cash portion through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our Revolving Facility (as defined in Note 7). The combined assets acquired through these acquisitions included 149 mixer trucks, 20 concrete plant facilities and 2 aggregate facilities. To effect these transactions, during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2018, we incurred $0.5$0.1 million and $0.6 million of transaction costs, respectively, which were included in selling and general administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.


Our accounting for Leon River and the immaterial West Texas acquisition described above is preliminary, while the accounting for the other 2018 acquisitions is final. We expect to record adjustments as we accumulate information needed to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including working capital balances, estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, total consideration and goodwill. See Note 6 for a description of our measurement period adjustments.


The following table presents the total consideration for the 2018 acquisitions and the amounts related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values as of their respective acquisition dates:

During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, and 2018, we recorded $0.9$1.7 million and $0.1$2.6 million of amortization expense related to these intangible assets, respectively.respectively, of which $0.5 million related to measurement period adjustments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded $0.8 million and $0.9 million of amortization expense related to these intangible assets, respectively, of which $0.1 million related to measurement period adjustments.


The goodwill ascribed to the 2018 acquisitions is related to the synergies we expect to achieve with expansion in the markets in which we already operate as well as entry into new metropolitan areas of our existing geographic markets. The goodwill relates to our ready-mixed concrete and other non-reportable segments in the amounts of $12.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively. We generally expect all $13.6 million of goodwill from the 2018 acquisitions to be deductible for tax purposes. See Note 910 for additional information regarding income taxes.


Actual Impact of Acquisitions


During the three months ended March 31, 2019,June 30, 2018, we recorded approximately $13.3$16.6 million of revenue and $1.0$2.9 million of operating income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations related to the 2018 acquisitions following their respective dates of acquisition. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018, we recorded approximately $5.0$21.6 million of revenue and $1.0$3.9 million of operating income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in 2018 related to the 2018 acquisitions following their respective dates of acquisition.

As of March 31,June 30, 2019, we had $17.5 million of undrawn standby letters of credit under our senior secured credit facility ("Revolving Facility"). Loans under the Revolving Facility are in the form of either base rate loans or LIBOR loans denominated in U.S. dollars. The interest rate for the facility was 5.75% as of March 31,June 30, 2019.


Our actual maximum credit availability under the Revolving Facility varies from time to time and is determined by calculating the value of our eligible accounts receivable, inventory, mixer trucks and machinery, minus reserves imposed by the lenders and certain other adjustments. Our availability under the Revolving Facility at March 31,June 30, 2019 was $201.0$199.6 million. We are required, upon the occurrence of certain events, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 for each period of 12 calendar months. As of March 31,June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants under the loan agreement that governs the Revolving Facility.

8.FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES


Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.


Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.


Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. We review the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between the fair value measurement levels for the quarterthree and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 andor the year ended December 31, 2018.



U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We estimate the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration arrangements using a Monte Carlo simulation model, an income approach or a discounted cash flow technique, as appropriate. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements is sensitive to changes in the forecasts of earnings and/or the relevant operating metrics and changes in discount rates.  The fair value of the contingent consideration is reassessed quarterly based on assumptions used in our latest projections and input provided by practice leaders and management.  Any change in the fair value estimate is recorded in our consolidated statement of operations for that period.  The current portion of contingent consideration is included in accrued liabilities while the long-term portion is included in other long-term obligations and deferred credits, both of which are in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The use of different estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the estimated fair value of our contingent consideration liability, which would result in different impacts to our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations. These fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Our recurring Level 3 fair value liability, contingent consideration, including the current portion, was $58.3$48.8 million as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and $60.7 million as of December 31, 2018.

Other Financial Instruments


Our other financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt.  We consider the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable to be representative of their respective fair values because of their short-term maturities or expected settlement dates.  The fair value of our 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2024 ("2024 Notes"), which was estimated based on quoted market prices (i.e., Level 2 inputs), was $610.5$624.0 million as of March 31,June 30, 2019. The carrying value of the outstanding amounts under our Revolving Facility approximates fair value due to the floating interest rate.


Other Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis


In connection with our acquisitions described in Note 4, the assets acquired were recorded at their fair value on a non-recurring basis as of their respective acquisition dates. We generally use a third party valuation firm to assist us with developing our estimates of fair value. The fair value of property, plant and equipment was based primarily on comparable sales. In determining the fair value of intangible assets, we utilized the cost approach (primarily through the cost-to-recreate method), the market approach and the income approach. The income approach may incorporate the use of a discounted cash flow method. In applying the discounted cash flow method, the estimated future cash flows and residual values for each intangible asset are discounted to a present value using a discount rate based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital for the building materials industry. These cash flow projections were based on management’s estimates of economic and market conditions including revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The valuations were prepared using Level 3 inputs.



9.STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective February 13, 2019, we amended the U.S. Concrete, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Amendment") to reserve an additional 0.9 million shares of common stock for future issuance as equity-based awards to management and employees. On March 1, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved grants of 0.3 million restricted stock units (the "2019 RSU Grant"), conditioned upon obtaining stockholder approval of the Amendment. The Amendment was approved by the Company's stockholders at the Company's annual meeting in May 2019, and the stockholder approval condition related to the 2019 RSU Grant was satisfied.

We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $9.4 million and $11.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $2.9 million and $5.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

The 2019 RSU Grant consisted of a 60% time-vested component that vests annually over a three-year period and a 40% stock performance hurdle component. The stock performance hurdle component triggers vesting upon our stock price reaching certain thresholds and may vest up to 200% of the target number of performance stock units granted.

The fair value of the 2019 RSU Grant subject only to time-based vesting restrictions was determined based upon the closing price of our common stock on the effective date of the grant. The fair value of 2019 RSU Grant subject to market performance hurdles was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo financial valuation model. Compensation expense determined utilizing the Monte Carlo simulation is recognized regardless of whether the common stock reaches the defined thresholds. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value of performance-based restricted stock units granted in 2019 were as follows:

Expected term (years)0 to 0.5
Expected volatility41.1%
Risk-free interest rate2.1%
Vesting price(1)
$45.90 - $58.60
Grant date fair value per share$39.60 - $48.75

(1)The vesting price is the average of the daily volume-weighted average share price of U.S. Concrete's common stock over any period of 20 consecutive trading days within the three-year period beginning on the date of grant. These hurdles were established on March 1, 2019.

9.10.INCOME TAXES


We recorded an income tax benefitexpense of $0.7 million and an income tax expensebenefit of $1.7less than $0.1 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively. For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, our effective tax rate was impacted by (i) losses generated by certain of our Canadian subsidiaries for which no income tax benefit was recognized due to a related full valuation allowance, (ii) our estimated interest expense limitation in accordance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") and related proposed regulations for which a full valuation allowance is anticipated, (iii) our estimated global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") inclusion for U.S. tax purposes, (iv) anticipated Section 162(m) limitations on executive compensation and (iv)(v) unfavorable discrete items occurring in the first quarter including a net tax shortfall recognized for share-based compensation. These unfavorable items were partially offset by additional state income tax benefits recognized.

For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2018, we recorded income tax expense of $4.2 million and $5.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to losses generated by our Canadian operations for which no incomestate taxes and adjustments related to the $1.3 million impact of the tax benefit was recognized due to a related full valuation allowance. Our other entities had net pre-tax income and recognized corresponding net income tax expense, which included cumulative adjustments to deferred income taxes resulting in additional income tax expenserate change enacted as part of $1.3 million.the Tax Act.


In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we reduce the value of deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized in future periods. The ultimate realization of the benefit of deferred tax assets from deductible temporary differences or tax carryovers depends on generating sufficient taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on these considerations, we relied upon the reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities to realize a portion of our deferred tax assets and maintained valuation allowances as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for othercertain deferred tax assets because of uncertainty regarding their ultimate realization. Our total net deferred tax liability was approximately $40.2$40.5 million as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and $38.0 million as of December 31, 2018, of which $45.1$45.6 million and $43.1 million, respectively, were recorded as non-current liabilities. Deferred tax assets for certain state taxing jurisdictions, which were recorded as non-current assets, were $4.9 million as of March 31, 2019, and $5.1 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.


We record changes in our unrecognized tax benefits based on anticipated federal and state tax filing positions on a quarterly basis. For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded unrecognized tax benefits of $0.3$0.4 million and $0.1$0.2 million, respectively.



10.11.EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to U.S. Concrete by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) attributable to U.S. Concrete per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

The following is a reconciliation of the components of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations:

11.12.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Legal Proceedings
 
From time to time, and currently, we are subject to various claims and litigation brought by employees, customers and other third parties for, among other matters, personal injuries, property damages, product defects and delay damages that have, or allegedly have, resulted from the conduct of our operations.  As a result of these types of claims and litigation, we must periodically evaluate the probability of damages being assessed against us and the range of possible outcomes.  In each reporting period, if we determine that the likelihood of damages being assessed against us is probable, and if we believe we can estimate a range of possible outcomes, then we will record a liability. The amount of the liability will be based upon a specific estimate, if we believe a specific estimate to be likely, or it will reflect the low end of our range. Currently, there are no material legal proceedings pending against us.
 
In the future, we may receive funding deficiency demands related to multi-employer pension plans to which we contribute.  We are unable to estimate the amount of any potential future funding deficiency demands because the actions of each of the other contributing employers in the plans has an effect on each of the other contributing employers, and the development of a rehabilitation plan by the trustees and subsequent submittal to and approval by the Internal Revenue Service is not predictable. Further, the allocation of fund assets and return assumptions by trustees are variable, as are actual investment returns relative to the plan assumptions.


U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


As of MayAugust 9, 2019, there were no material product defect claims pending against us.  Accordingly, our existing accruals for claims against us do not reflect any material amounts relating to product defect claims.  While our management is not aware of any facts that would reasonably be expected to lead to material product defect claims against us that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, it is possible that claims could be asserted against us in the future.  We do not maintain insurance that would cover all damages resulting from product defect claims.  In particular, we generally do not maintain insurance coverage for the cost of removing and rebuilding structures.  In addition, our indemnification arrangements with contractors or others, when obtained, generally provide only limited protection against product defect claims.  Due to inherent uncertainties associated with estimating unasserted claims in our business, we cannot estimate the amount of any future loss that may be attributable to such unasserted product defect claims related to ready-mixed concrete we have delivered prior to March 31,June 30, 2019.


We believe that the resolution of any litigation currently pending or threatened against us or any of our subsidiaries will not materially exceed our existing accruals for those matters.  However, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there is a risk that we may have to increase our accruals for one or more claims or proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party as more information becomes available or proceedings progress, and any such increase in accruals could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.  We expect in the future that we and our operating subsidiaries will, from time to time, be a party to litigation or administrative proceedings that arise in the normal course of our business.
 
We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other matters, air emissions and wastewater discharge. Our management believes we are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. From time to time, we receive claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and entities asserting that we may be in violation of environmental laws and regulations. Based on experience and the information currently available, our management does not believe that these claims will materially exceed our related accruals.  Despite compliance and experience, it is possible that we could be held liable for future charges, which might be material, but are not currently known to us or cannot be estimated by us.  In addition, changes in federal or state laws, regulations or requirements, or discovery of currently unknown conditions, could require additional expenditures.


U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


As permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements that provide indemnification of officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is not limited; however, we have a director and officer insurance policy that potentially limits our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of future amounts that may be paid.  As a result of the insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of March 31,June 30, 2019.


We and our subsidiaries are parties to agreements that require us to provide indemnification in certain instances when we acquire businesses and real estate and in the ordinary course of business with our customers, suppliers, lessors and service providers. As of MayAugust 9, 2019, there were no material pending claims related to such indemnification.


Royalty Assessment


In 2014, Eagle Rock Materials Ltd. (“ERM”), a subsidiary of our Canadian aggregates operation, Polaris Materials ("Polaris"), was notified by the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations that royalties were due for 2012 and 2013, based on the tenure date, in respect of Polaris’sPolaris's quarrying lease for the Eagle Rock Quarry project. In 2016, ERM was notified that further royalties were due for 2014, 2015 and 2016 (up to October) based on the tenure date, and in 2017, ERM was notified of interest charges. The total royalties and interest claimed to date are approximately CAD $3.8 million ($2.9 million). AlthoughWhile the Company has recorded a provision for a portion of the assessment, it continues to dispute and negotiate certain aspects ofpreviously disputed the claim, including interest chargesin May 2019 ERM settled the claim for CAD $4 million and entered into a repayment agreement that extended the timing of payment.payment terms, as defined.

Eminent Domain Matter


In 2018, we incurred $0.7 million of expenses to dismantle and move a ready-mixed concrete plant and office to another location, because the District of Columbia exercised its power of eminent domain over the former site. We incurred certain additional expenditures that were capitalized for the new facilities. We have filedIn June 2019, we received $5.3 million, net of attorney's fees, from the District of Columbia as reimbursement claims for all of our costs, which is reported in other income, net, in our consolidated statement of operations. We expect to file an additional request for reimbursement of certain other expenses not included in the initial submission, but have not recognized a receivable for such reimbursement pending approval by a third-party right-of-way agent and the District of Columbia Department of Transportation.


Insurance Programs


We maintain third-party insurance coverage against certain workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability risks.  Under certain components of our insurance program, we share the risk of loss with our insurance underwriters by maintaining high deductibles subject to aggregate annual loss limitations.  Generally, our deductible retentions per occurrence for auto, workers’ compensation and general liability insurance programs are $1.0 million, although certain of our operations are self-insured for workers’ compensation.  We fund these deductibles and record an expense for expected losses under the programs.  The expected losses are determined using a combination of our historical loss experience and subjective assessments of our future loss exposure. The estimated losses are subject to uncertainty, including changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, legislation and economic conditions.  Although we believe that the estimated losses we have recorded are reasonable, significant differences related to the items noted above could materially affect our insurance obligations and future expense. The amount accrued for self-insurance claims, which was recorded in accrued liabilities and other long-term obligations, was $21.4$19.1 million as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and $20.4 million as of December 31, 2018.


Performance Bonds
 
In the normal course of business, we and our subsidiaries were contingently liable under $36.4$44.5 million in performance bonds that various contractors, states and municipalities have required as of March 31,June 30, 2019. The bonds principally relate to construction contracts, reclamation obligations, licensing and permitting. We and our subsidiaries have indemnified the underwriting insurance company against any exposure under the performance bonds. No material claims have been made against these bonds.

12.13.SEGMENT INFORMATION


Our two reportable segments consist of ready-mixed concrete and aggregate products as described below.


Our ready-mixed concrete segment produces and sells ready-mixed concrete. This segment serves the following markets: Texas, Northern California, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Oklahoma and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our aggregate products segment produces crushed stone, sand and gravel and serves the markets in which our ready-mixed concrete segment operates as well as the West Coast and Hawaii. Other operations and products not associated with a reportable segment include our aggregates distribution operations, building materials stores, hauling operations, ARIDUS® Rapid Drying Concrete technology, brokered product sales and recycled aggregates. Other operations and products also previously included lime slurry operations until they were sold on September 5, 2018.


Our customers are generally involved in the construction industry, which is a cyclical business and is subject to general and more localized economic conditions.  In addition, our business is impacted by seasonal variations in weather conditions, which vary by regional market.  Accordingly, demand for our products and services during the winter months is typically lower than in other months of the year because of inclement weather.  Also, sustained periods of inclement weather and other adverse weather conditions could cause the delay of construction projects during other times of the year.


Our chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss), excluding the impact of income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and amortization, net interest expense and certain other non-cash, non-recurring and/or unusual, non-operating items including, but not limited to: non-cash stock compensation expense, non-cash change in value of contingent consideration, impairment of assets, acquisition-related costs, officer transition expenses, quarry dredge costs for specific event, and hurricane-related losses, net of recoveries. Acquisition-related costs consist of fees and expenses for accountants, lawyers and other professionals incurred during the negotiation and closing of strategic acquisitions and certain acquired entities' management severance costs. Acquisition-related costs do not include fees or expenses associated with post-closing integration of strategic acquisitions. Many of the impacts excluded to derive Adjusted EBITDA are similar to those excluded in calculating our compliance with our debt covenants.


We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of the operational strength and performance of our business. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key financial measure used by our management to (1) internally measure our operating performance and (2) assess our ability to service our debt, incur additional debt, and meet our capital expenditure requirements.


Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to, or a better indicator of, operating income or loss, is not based on U.S. GAAP, and is not a measure of our cash flows or ability to fund our cash needs. Our measurements of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used in the agreements governing our debt.


We generally account for inter-segment sales at market prices. Corporate includes executive, administrative, financial, legal, human resources, business development and risk management activities that are not allocated to reportable segments and are excluded from segment Adjusted EBITDA. Eliminations include transactions to account for intercompany activity.


During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we re-characterized certain results of our Polaris distribution operations, which include shipping and terminal operations, to the aggregate products segment from other products and eliminations.  This change was made to better reflect how the Polaris business is viewed and operated by management and more closely aligns our reporting with how we manage and report our other aggregate products operations.  As a result of this change, certain first quarter 2018 amounts have been reclassified from those previously reported.

Neither the net book value nor the purchase price of any of our recently acquired guarantor subsidiaries were 20% or more of the aggregate principal amount of our 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes are not guaranteed by any direct or indirect foreign subsidiaries of the Company or domestic subsidiaries that are not wholly owned, each a non-guarantor subsidiary. Consequently, we are required to provide condensed consolidating financial information in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X.


The following condensed consolidating financial statements present, in separate columns, financial information for (1) the Parent on a parent only basis, (2) the guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, (3) the non-guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, (4) the eliminations and reclassifications necessary to arrive at the information for the Company on a consolidated basis, and (5) the Company on a consolidated basis.


The following condensed consolidating financial statements of U.S. Concrete, Inc. and its subsidiaries present investments in consolidated subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 10-K”). Our 2018 10-K includes additional information about our significant and critical accounting policies, as well as a detailed discussion of the most significant risks associated with our financial condition and operating results.
 
Overview


Our principal business is producing ready-mixed concrete and supplying aggregates in select geographic markets from our operations in the United States, U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada. The geographic markets for our products are generally local, except for our Canadian aggregate products operation, Polaris Materials ("Polaris"), that primarily serves markets in California. Our customers are generally involved in the construction industry, which is a cyclical business and is subject to general and more localized economic conditions as well as seasonal variations in seasonal and inclement weather conditions.conditions, particularly rainy weather that can impede the installation of ready-mixed concrete. Our operating results are subject to fluctuations in the level and mix of construction activity that occur in our markets. The level of activity affects the demand for our products, while the product mix of activity among the various segments of the construction industry affects both our relative competitive strengths and our operating margins. Commercial and industrial projects generally provide more opportunities to sell value-added products that are designed to meet the high-performance requirements of these types of projects. We conduct our business primarily through two reportable segments: ready-mixed concrete and aggregate products.


Ready-Mixed Concrete.Our ready-mixed concrete segment (which represented 87.2%86.3% of our revenue for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019) engages principally in the formulation, preparation and delivery of ready-mixed concrete to our customers’ job sites. We provide our ready-mixed concrete from our operations in Texas, California, New York, New Jersey, New York, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, Northern California, Oklahoma and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Ready-mixed concrete is a highly versatile construction material that results from combining coarse and fine aggregates, such as gravel, crushed stone and sand, with water, various chemical admixtures and cement. We also provide services intended to reduce our customers’ overall construction costs by lowering the installed, or “in-place,” cost of concrete. These services include the formulation of mixtures for specific design uses, on-site and lab-based product quality control and customized delivery programs to meet our customers’ needs.


Aggregate Products. Our aggregate products segment (which represented 9.5%9.7% of our revenue for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, excluding $11.1$24.5 million of intersegment sales) produces crushed stone, sand and gravel from 17our aggregates facilities located in British Columbia, Canada; Texas; Oklahoma; New Jersey; Texas; Oklahoma; and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We sell these aggregates for use in commercial, industrial, and public works projects, as well as consume them internally in the production of ready-mixed concrete. We produced approximately 2.85.6 million tons of aggregates during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, with Canada representing 50%45%, Texas / Oklahoma representing 34%31%, New Jersey representing 13%20%, and the U.S. Virgin Islands representing 3%4% of the total production. We believe our aggregate reserves provide us with additional raw materials sourcing flexibility and supply availability.


Acquisitions and Divestitures


We completed five acquisitions during 2018 that expanded our ready-mixed concrete operations in our Atlantic Region (which we define to include New York, New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania) and expanded our ready-mixed concrete and aggregate products operations in West Texas. During 2018, we divested the following operations that no longer fit into our operating plans: our Dallas/Fort Worth area lime operations and a Michigan aggregates property in the third quarter and a New Jersey aggregates operation in the fourth quarter.


For additional information on our acquisitions, see Note 4, "Business Combinations" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this report.

(2)Our calculation of the aggregate products segment average selling price ("ASP")ASP excludes certain other ancillary revenue and Polaris’s freight revenue.  We define revenue for our aggregate products ASP calculation as amounts billed to external and internal customers for coarse and fine aggregate products, excluding delivery charges.  Our definition and calculation of ASP may differ from other companies in the construction materials industry.


Revenue. For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, revenue grew 1.6%decreased 9.1%, or $5.3$36.7 million, compared to the prior year firstsecond quarter, primarily driven by contributions from acquisitions. We estimate that acquisitions completed since January 1, 2018accounted for $8.4 million of revenue growth during the three months ended March 31, 2019. As our business is seasonal and subjectdue to adverse weather, our results were negatively impacted by inclement weathera decline in various regions.ready-mixed concrete sales volume. As a result of the strategic expansion of our aggregate products operations and continued vertical integration, our aggregate products sales grew to 12.9%13.6% of the total reportable segment revenue in the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 from 10.6%12.2% in the same period last year.




In the firstsecond quarter of 2019, ready-mixed concrete sales contributed $1.2declined $36.0 million, or 22.6%, of our revenue growth, despiteprimarily due to the weather-impactedweather-related decrease in volume. The 1.9%A 4.0% increase in the ASP of our ready-mixed concrete segment more than offset the weather-impacted volume decline. The volume decline in our Northern California market, which experienced more inclement weather than the first quarter of 2018, more than offset volumeresulted from price increases in other markets.all of our regions except North Texas. Aggregate product sales increased $8.7$1.0 million, driven by a 17.0% increase in volume and an 11.2%6.5% increase in the ASP. Aggregate sales volumes increased primarily for Polaris andASP that was partially offset by a 5.8% decrease in our West Texas market.volume. Other products revenue and eliminations (which currently includes building materials stores, aggregates distribution, hauling operations, brokered product sales, recycled aggregates, and eliminations of our intersegment sales) decreased $4.6$1.7 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2019 as compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2018. This decline was primarily a result of the September 2018 divestiture of the lime business, which provided $2.3$3.2 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2018, partially offset by increases in aggregates distribution and building materials.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 declined 4.3%, or $31.4 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in ready-mixed concrete revenue primarily resulted from an 8.0% decrease in volume that was partially offset by a 3.1% increase in our ASP. Aggregate products sales grew $9.7 million in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, resulting from a 8.4% increase in ASP and a 3.6% increase in volume. The increased sales volume was primarily in our West Coast (Polaris) and West Texas markets. Other products revenue and eliminations, as described above, decreased $6.3 million for the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. This decline was primarily a result of the September 2018 divestiture of the lime business, which provided $5.5 million of revenue in the first quartersix months of 2018, and lower sales of building materials from our stores in Northern California in the first quarter of 2019, which were impacted by inclement weather during the quarter.2018.


Cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A"). Cost of goods sold before DD&A increaseddecreased by $1.2$23.4 million, or 0.4%7.3%, in the firstsecond quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year quarter. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold before DD&A decreasedincreased by 0.9%1.6% in the firstsecond quarter of 2019 compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2018. WhileRaw materials and delivery costs decreased substantially in comparison to the same quarter last year, we experienced greater increases in other variable and fixed costs in comparison to the same quarter last year. Our increased variable costs were primarily drivenpartially offset by our aggregate products operations, consistent with their increased sales volume.higher plant labor costs. Our fixed costs, which primarily consist of leased equipment costs, property taxes, dispatch costs, quality control, and plant management, increased slightly over the comparable prior year period primarily due to equipment costs.

For the first six months of 2019, cost of goods sold before DD&A decreased by $22.2 million, or 3.8%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decline was primarily due lower overall raw material costs and delivery costs partially offset by higher plant labor costs in comparison to the comparable prior year period. Our plant variable costs increased primarily related to our increased aggregate production over the comparable prior year period. During the first six months of 2019, our fixed costs increased over the comparable prior year period primarily due to higher personnel and equipment costs needed to operate our facilities, as well as higher overall fixed costs to operate moreadditional locations and trucks than in the previous year. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold before DD&A increased by 0.5% in the first six months of 2019 compared to the first six months of 2018.


Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased $0.2increased $7.3 million, or 0.6%22.9%, for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2019 in comparison to the corresponding 2018 quarter.quarter primarily as a result of higher stock-based compensation expense. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses decreasedincreased to 9.6%10.7% in the 2019 firstsecond quarter from 9.8%7.9% in the 2018 second quarter. The increase in stock-based compensation expenses was primarily due the increase in the stock price from the time the annual award was approved by our Board of Directors at the beginning of March 2019 to when the stockholders approved the equity plan amendment (and the award was deemed granted for accounting purposes) at our annual stockholders' meeting in May. Had the award issuance date and the accounting grant date been aligned, our stock-based compensation expense would have been more comparable to prior years.

For the first quarter.six months of 2019, SG&A expenses increased $7.1 million or 11.1%, compared to the first six months of 2018, primarily as a result of higher stock-based compensation expense. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 10.2% in the first half of 2019 compared to 8.8% in the first half of 2018.


Depreciation, depletion and amortization. DD&A expense increased $2.2$3.0 million, or 10.7%13.6%, for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2019, asand $5.2 million, or 12.2%, for the first half of 2019 compared to the corresponding quarter ofperiods in 2018. The increase was primarily related to depreciation on additional plants, equipment and mixer trucks purchased to service increased demand or acquired through recent acquisitions and depletion on acquired mineral deposits.leased.


Change in value of contingent consideration.  For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, and 2018, we recorded a non-cash loss on revaluation of contingent consideration of $1.0$0.3 million and $0.3$1.3 million, respectively. ThisThe non-cash expense is related toloss from fair value changes in contingent consideration associated with certain of our acquisitions and in both periods was primarily due to the passage of time. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a non-cash gain on revaluation of contingent consideration of $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The non-cash gain in both these periods was primarily due to updated financial performance expectations for certain previously acquired businesses.


The key inputs in determining the fair value of our contingent consideration of $58.3$48.8 million at March 31,June 30, 2019 included discount rates ranging from 1.67%3.70% to 15.75% and management's estimates of future sales volumes, permitted reserves and EBITDA, as defined in the respective purchase agreements. Changes in these inputs impact the valuation of our contingent consideration and may result in either a gain or loss in each reporting period.


Interest expense, net.  Net interest expense increased by $0.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 from the comparable 2018 quarter.

Loss (gain) on sale/disposal of assets, net. The loss for the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 included a $0.6$0.7 million loss for a mixer truck fire that occurred during the first quarter of 2019 and a $0.3 million write-off forof property no longer in use.


Other income, net. Other income, net, contains non-operating itemsfor the three and was highersix months ended June 30, 2019 included a gain from an eminent domain proceeding in Washington, D.C. and insurance proceeds from the 2017 hurricane losses in our operations in the first quarterU.S. Virgin Islands.

Income taxes.  We recorded income tax expense of 2018 compared to this year primarily due to gains from insurance proceeds, whereas we did not receive such proceeds in the current quarter.


Income taxes.  For the three months ended March 31, 2019$0.7 million and 2018, we recordedan income tax benefit of $0.7less than $0.1 million for the three and income tax expense of $1.7 million,six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, our effective tax rate was impacted by (i) losses generated by certain of our Canadian subsidiaries for which no income tax benefit was recognized due to a related full valuation allowance, (ii) our estimated interest expense limitation in accordance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") and related proposed regulations for which a full valuation allowance is anticipated, (iii) our estimated global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") inclusion for U.S. tax purposes, (iv) anticipated Section 162(m) limitations on executive compensation and (iv)(v) unfavorable discrete items occurring in the first quarter including a net tax shortfall recognized for share-based compensation. These unfavorable items were partially offset by additional state income tax benefits recognized.

For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2018, we recorded income tax expense of $4.2 million and $5.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to losses generated by our Canadian operations for which no incomestate taxes and adjustments related to the $1.3 million impact of the tax benefit was recognized due to a related full valuation allowance. Our other entities had net pre-tax income and recognized corresponding net income tax expense, which included cumulative adjustments to deferred income taxes resulting in additional income tax expenserate change enacted as part of $1.3 million.

Segment Information


Our chief operating decision maker reviews operating results based on our two reportable segments, which are ready-mixed concrete and aggregate products, and evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income, excluding the impact of income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and amortization, net interest expense and certain other non-cash, non-recurring and/or unusual, non-operating items including, but not limited to: non-cash stock compensation expense, non-cash change in value of contingent consideration, impairment of assets, acquisition-related costs, officer transition expenses, quarry dredge costs for specific event, and hurricane-related losses, net of recoveries and derivative loss (income).recoveries. Acquisition-related costs consist of fees and expenses for accountants, lawyers and other professionals incurred during the negotiation and closing of strategic acquisitions and certain acquired entities' management severance costs. Acquisition-related costs do not include fees or expenses associated with post-closing integration of strategic acquisitions. Many of the impacts excluded to derive Adjusted EBITDA are similar to those excluded in calculating our compliance with our debt covenants.


We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of the operational strength and performance of our business. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key financial measure used by our management to (1) internally measure our operating performance and (2) assess our ability to service our debt, incur additional debt and meet our capital expenditure requirements.


Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to, or a better indicator of, operating income or loss, is not based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), and is not a measure of our cash flows or ability to fund our cash needs. Our measurements of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used in agreements that govern our debt.


During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we re-characterized certain results of our Polaris distribution operations, which include shipping and terminal operations, to the aggregate products segment from other products and eliminations.  This change was made to better reflect how the Polaris business is viewed and operated by management and more closely aligns our reporting with how we manage and report our other aggregate products operations.  As a result of this change, certain first quarter 2018 amounts have been reclassified from those previously reported.
See Note 12,13, "Segment Information," to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for additional information regarding our segments and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income before income taxes.

Revenue.  Our ready-mixed concrete segment sales provided 87.2%85.4% and 88.2%86.6% of our total revenue in the firstsecond quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Segment revenue for the firstsecond quarter of 2019 increased $1.2declined $36.0 million, or 0.4%10.3%, from the comparable 2018 period. This revenue decline was primarily from a weather-impacted 13.7% lower sales volume that was partially offset by a 4.0% increase in our ASP.

Our ready-mixed concrete segment sales provided 86.3% and 87.3% of our total revenue in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Segment revenue for the first six months of 2019 decreased $34.8 million, or 5.4%, from the comparable 2018 period, primarily driven by contributions from our acquisitions. We estimate that acquisitions completed since January 1, 2018 contributed $8.2 million in revenue growth to our 2019 first quarter ready-mixed concrete segment.

In the first quarter of 2019, our revenue growth as compared to the first quarter of 2018 was driven by the 1.9% ASP increase partially offset by a weather-impacted sales volume decline of 0.9%.

(1)During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we re-characterized certain results of our Polaris distribution operations, which include shipping and terminal operations, to the aggregate products segment from other products and eliminations.  This change was made to better reflect how the Polaris business is viewed and operated by management and more closely aligns our reporting with how we manage and report our other aggregate products operations.  As a result of this change, certain amounts were reclassified from those reported in our 2018 first quarter 10-Q.

Revenue.Sales to external customers for our aggregate products segment provided 9.5%9.8% and 7.5%8.7% of our total revenue for the firstsecond quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. SegmentSecond quarter 2019 segment revenue increased $8.7$1.0 million, or 25.4%2.1%, compared to prior year levels, despite an overall decline in volume. The increased revenue was primarily generated from our operations in Canada, the U.S. Virgin Islands and West Texas. During the 2019 second quarter, the impact of a higher ASP was partially offset by lower volume.

For the first six months of 2019 and 2018, aggregate products segment sales to external customers provided 9.7% and 8.2% of our total revenue, respectively. During the first six months of 2019, segment revenue increased $9.7 million, or 11.7%, compared to prior year levels, primarily driven bydue to increases in Polarisour operations in Canada, the U.S. Virgin Islands and our West Texas quarries.that were partially offset by weather-impacted declines in New Jersey, North Texas and Oklahoma.

Adjusted EBITDA.AdjustedEBITDA for our aggregate products segment in the firstsecond quarter of 2019.2019 was consistent when compared to the second quarter of 2018 primarily reflecting the impact of higher revenue offset by higher variable plant costs. Overall, our segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of segment revenue decreased to 24.6% in the second quarter of 2019 from 25.2% in the second quarter of 2018 as our operations in North Texas and Oklahoma were negatively impacted by inclement weather.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations, available cash and cash equivalents, and access to our asset-based revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"), which provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $350.0 million, subject to a borrowing base.


As of March 31,June 30, 2019, we had $23.9$24.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $201.0$199.6 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility, providing total available liquidity of $224.9$224.4 million. Our unused availability under the Revolving Facility at March 31,June 30, 2019 decreased from December 31, 2018, primarily due to decreases in eligible accounts receivable, trucks and machinery balances.increased borrowings under the Revolving Facility.


The following key financial measurements reflect our financial condition as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

(1)Total debt includes long-term debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, including current maturities, finance leases, notes payable and borrowings under the Revolving Facility.


Our primary liquidity needs over the next 12 months consist of (1) financing working capital requirements; (2) servicing our indebtedness; (3) purchasing property, plant and equipment; and (4) payments related to strategic acquisitions, including $39.0 million toapproximately $40.0 million of contingent and deferred consideration for past acquisitions. Our primary portfolio strategy includes acquisitions in various regions and markets. We may seek financing for acquisitions, including additional debt or equity capital.


Our working capital needs are typically at their lowest level in the first quarter, increase in the second and third quarters to fund increases in accounts receivable and inventories during those periods, and then decrease in the fourth quarter. Availability under the Revolving Facility is governed by a borrowing base primarily determined by our eligible accounts receivable, inventory, mixer trucks and machinery. Our borrowing base also typically declines during the first quarter due to lower accounts receivable balances as a result of normal seasonality of our business caused by winter weather.


The projection of our cash needs is based upon many factors, including without limitation, our expected volume, pricing, cost of materials and capital expenditures. Based on our projected cash needs, we believe that cash on hand, availability under the Revolving Facility and cash generated from operations will provide us with sufficient liquidity in the ordinary course of business, not including potential acquisitions. If, however, availability under the Revolving Facility, cash on hand and our operating cash flows are not adequate to fund our operations, we would need to obtain other equity or debt financing or sell assets to provide additional liquidity.


The principal factors that could adversely affect the amount of our internally generated funds include:


deterioration of revenue, due to lower volume and/or pricing, because of weakness in the markets in which we operate;
declines in gross margins due to shifts in our product mix or increases in the cost of our raw materials and fuel;
any deterioration in our ability to collect our accounts receivable from customers as a result of weakening in construction demand or payment difficulties experienced by our customers; and
inclement weather beyond normal patterns that could reduce our sales volumes.




The discussion that follows provides a description of our arrangements relating to our outstanding indebtedness.


Asset Based Revolving Credit Facility


We have a senior secured asset-based credit facility with certain financial institutions named therein as lenders (the "Lenders") and Bank of America, N.A., as agent for the Lenders that provides for up to $350.0 million of revolving borrowings. The Revolving Facility also permits the incurrence of other secured indebtedness not to exceed certain amounts as specified therein. The Revolving Facility provides for swingline loans up to a $15.0 million sublimit and letters of credit up to a $50.0 million sublimit. Loans under the Revolving Facility are in the form of either base rate loans or “LIBOR loans” denominated in U.S. dollars.


Our actual maximum credit availability under the Revolving Facility varies from time to time and is determined by calculating the value of our eligible accounts receivable, inventory, mixer trucks and machinery, minus reserves imposed by the Lenders and other adjustments, as specified in the Third Loan Agreement, which matures August 31, 2022. 


The Third Loan Agreement contains usual and customary covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability to consolidate or merge; substantially change the nature of our business; sell, lease or otherwise transfer any of our assets; create or incur indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends or make other distributions; make loans; prepay certain indebtedness; and make investments or acquisitions. The covenants are subject to certain exceptions as specified in the Third Loan Agreement. The Third Loan Agreement also requires that we, upon the occurrence of certain events, maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 for each period of 12 calendar months. As of March 31,June 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Third Loan Agreement.


Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024


We have issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes"). The 2024 Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of June 7, 2016, by and among U.S. Concrete, Inc., as issuer, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2024 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 6.375% per annum, which is payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The 2024 Notes mature on June 1, 2024, and are redeemable at our option prior to maturity at prices specified in the Indenture. The Indenture contains negative covenants that restrict our ability and our restricted subsidiaries' ability to engage in certain transactions, as described below, and also contains customary events of default.


The 2024 Notes were issued by U.S. Concrete, Inc., the parent company, and are guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by each of our restricted subsidiaries that guarantees any obligations under the Revolving Facility or that guarantees certain of our other indebtedness or certain indebtedness of our restricted subsidiaries (other than foreign restricted subsidiaries that guarantee only indebtedness incurred by another foreign subsidiary). The guarantees are joint and several. U.S. Concrete, Inc. does not have any independent assets or operations, and none of its foreign subsidiaries guarantee the 2024 Notes.


The 2024 Notes and the guarantees thereof are effectively subordinated to all of our and our guarantors' existing and future secured obligations, including obligations under the Revolving Facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations; senior in right of payment to any of our and our guarantors' future subordinated indebtedness; pari passu in right of payment with any of our and our guarantors' existing and future senior indebtedness, including our and our guarantors' obligations under the Revolving Facility; and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including preferred stock, of any non-guarantor subsidiaries.


For additional information regarding our guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries, see the information set forth in Note 13,14, “Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Information,” to our condensed financial statements included in Part I of this report.


Other Debt


We have financing agreements with various lenders for the purchase of mixer trucks and other machinery and equipment with $92.9$96.5 million of remaining principal as of March 31,June 30, 2019.


For additional information regarding our arrangements relating to outstanding indebtedness, see the information set forth in Note 7, "Debt," to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.


Cash Flows
 
Our net cash provided by operating activities generally reflects the cash effects of transactions and other events used in the determination of net income or loss.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.9$40.6 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, compared to $25.9$47.9 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018.


We used $6.8$11.4 million to fund investing activities during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and $66.7$78.6 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018, we paid $60.3$61.1 million to fund acquisitions. In addition, we used $7.2$18.1 million and $8.4$20.8 million in the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, to fund purchases of machinery and equipment as well as mixer trucks and other vehicles to service our business. During the first half of 2019, we received $6.0 million of proceeds from an eminent domain matter and insurance proceeds relating to property damage suffered due to the 2017 hurricanes in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Investing activities also included proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $0.4$0.7 million during the first threesix months of 2019 and proceeds from the sale of businesses and property, plant and equipment of $0.4$1.2 million during the first threesix months of 2018.
 
Our net cash used in financing activities was $11.2$24.3 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $54.9$32.5 million for the comparable period of 2018. Financing activities during the first threesix months of 2019 included $1.5$5.5 million of net borrowings under our Revolving Facility to operate our business. In addition, we repaid $8.1$16.2 million of finance leases and notes used to fund capital expenditures and other financings and paid $3.7$11.6 million for contingent and deferred consideration obligations. Financing activities during the first threesix months of 2018 included $66.0$51.4 million of net borrowings under our Revolving Facility to operate our business and fund acquisitions. In addition, we made payments of $6.4$14.1 million related to our finance leases and other financings and paid $3.5 million for contingent and deferred consideration obligations.


Inflation


We experienced minimal increases in operating costs during the first threesix months of 2019 related to inflation. However, in non-recessionary conditions, cement prices and certain other raw material prices, including aggregates, have generally risen faster than regional inflationary rates.  When these price increases have occurred, we have generally been able to mitigate our cost increases with price increases we obtain for our products.


Critical Accounting Policies
 
We prepared the preceding discussion based on the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Such preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are based on historical experience, currently available information and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We outlineddescribed our critical accounting policies in Item 7 of Part II of our 2018 10-K.  Our critical accounting policies involve the use of estimates in the recording of business combinations, goodwill and intangible assets and any related impairment, accruals for self-insurance, accruals for income taxes, assessing impairment of long-lived assets, and accounting for contingent consideration. See Note 1, "Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Part II of the 2018 10-K for a discussion of our critical and significant accounting policies and Note 2, "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" to our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the impact of the new lease accounting standard that we adopted as of January 1, 2019.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


There have been no material changes from the information previously reported under Part II, Item 7A of our 2018 10-K.


Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Acquisitions


We completed the acquisition of Leon River Aggregate Materials, LLC on August 29, 2018 and are in the process of integrating it. Management’s assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31,June 30, 2019, excludes an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting related to this acquisition, which represented 0.4%0.3% of our consolidated total assets and less than 0.1% of our consolidated revenue included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019.


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


We have completed a number oftwo acquisitions in the past 12 months. As part of our ongoing integration activities, we continue to implement our controls and procedures at the businesses we acquire and to augment our company-wide controls to reflect the risks inherent in our acquisitions. Throughout the integration process, we monitor these efforts and take corrective action as needed to reinforce the application of our controls and procedures. In addition, we launched a new lease administration and accounting system to support our implementation of the new lease accounting rules. Other than the foregoing and except as described above, during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2019, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
