Eagle Materials Inc. and Subsidiaries
~~Notes~~Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within existing income tax guidance, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. We adopted this ASU on April 1, 2021 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

On September 18, 2020, we sold our Oil and Gas Proppants business (the Proppants Business) to Smart Sand, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Purchaser), pursuant to an Equity Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) between the Company and the Purchaser. The sale of this business excluded certain assets, namely real property and equipment in south Texas, real property in Illinois, and certain other assets. The purchase price (the Purchase Price) paid by the Purchaser for the acquisition of the Proppants Business was ~~$2.0~~$2.0 million paid in shares of common stock of the Purchaser. Shares representing ~~$0.3~~$0.3 million of the Purchase Price are being held in escrow as a source of recovery for any indemnification claims by the Purchaser. The sale resulted in a gain of approximately ~~$9.2~~$9.2 million.

In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, we also entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, dated September 18, 2020 (the Loan and Security Agreement), by and among the Company, as lender; the Purchaser, as borrower; and other parties thereto. Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company ~~will~~would loan the Purchaser up to ~~$5.0~~$5.0 million for working capital and operating, maintenance, and administrative expenses of the Proppants Business during the one-year period following the closing. ~~The~~At closing, the Company ~~has~~ deposited the ~~$5.0~~$5.0 million into an escrow account. ~~Up to 50% of the amounts outstanding~~There were 0 borrowings made under the Loan and Security Agreement, may be repaid by the Purchaser in shares of the Purchaser’s common stock. Borrowings under the Loan and Security Agreement will bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.00% per annum during the one-year period following the closing. Any amounts after the one-year period will bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.00% per annum and will maturewhich expired on September 18, ~~2024. There were 0 outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2021. The $5.0~~2021. Upon expiration, the $5.0 million held in escrow was returned to the ~~escrow account at June 30, 2021 is classified as Restricted Cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.~~ Company.

The sale of the Proppants Business, which was previously disclosed as a reportable segment, was determined to meet the discontinued operations accounting criteria. Certain expenses, which were previously included in the Oil and Gas Proppants operating segment, do not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been reclassified from the operating segment to continuing operations. These expenses primarily relate to lease agreements not included in the sale of the Proppants Business.

On April 17, 2020, we sold our Western Aggregates LLC (Western) and Mathews Readymix LLC (Mathews) businesses to Teichert, Inc. (the Purchaser) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately ~~$93.5~~$93.5 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. This sale resulted in a gain of approximately ~~$52.0 million.~~$52.0 million at the time of the sale. Western and Mathews were part of our Concrete and Aggregates operating segment, and their results of operations were included in our financial statements for the period from April 1, 2020 through April 17, 2020.

Revenue and Operating Earnings from Western and Mathews, collectively, were approximately ~~$1.7~~$1.7 million and ~~$0.1~~$0.1 million, respectively, for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2020.

We lease certain real estate, buildings, and equipment. Certain of these leases contain escalations of rent over the term of the lease, as well as options for us to extend the term of the lease at the end of the original term. These extensions range from periods of one year to twenty ~~years.~~years. Our lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. In calculating the present value of future minimum lease payments, we use the rate implicit in the lease if it can be determined. Otherwise, we use our incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement of the lease to determine the present value of the future minimum lease payments. Additionally, we lease certain equipment under short-term leases with initial terms of less than twelve months, which are not recorded on the balance sheet.

The Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities are reflected on our Balance Sheet as follows:

On August 7, 2013, our stockholders approved the Eagle Materials Inc. Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the Plan), which increased the shares we are authorized to issue as awards by 3,000,000 ~~(1,500,000~~ (1,500,000 of which may be stock awards). Under the terms of the Plan, we can issue equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights, to employees of the Company and members of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors specifies the terms for grants of equity awards under the Plan.

In May 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the granting to certain officers and key employees an aggregate of 4,293 performance-vesting stock options that will be earned only if certain performance conditions are satisfied (the Fiscal 2022 Employee Performance Stock Option Grant). The performance criteria for the Fiscal 2022 Employee Performance Stock Option Grant isare based upon the achievement of certain levels of return on equity (as defined in the option agreements), ranging from ~~10.0%~~10.0% to ~~20.0%~~20.0%, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. All stock options will be earned if the return on equity is 20.0% or greater, and the percentage of shares earned will be reduced proportionately to approximately ~~66.7%~~66.7% if the return on equity is 10.0%. If the Company does not achieve a return on equity of at least 10.0%, all granted stock options will be forfeited. Following any such reduction, restrictions on the earned stock options will lapse and the earned options will vest ratably over four years, with the initial fourth vesting promptly following the determination date, and the remaining options vesting on March 31, 2023 through ~~2025.~~2025. The stock options have a term of ten years from the ~~date of grant.~~grant date. The Compensation Committee also approved the granting of 3,578 time-vesting stock options to the same officers and key employees, which vest ratably over four years (the Fiscal 2022 Employee Time-Vesting Stock Option Grant).

In August 2021, we granted 3,445 options to members of the Board of Directors (the Fiscal 2022 Board of Directors Stock Option Grant). Options granted under the Fiscal 2022 Board of Directors Stock Option Grant vest immediately and can be exercised from the grant date until their expiration on the tenth anniversary of the grant date.

The Fiscal 2022 Employee Performance Stock Option Grant, the Fiscal 2022 Employee Time-Vesting Stock Option Grant, and the Fiscal 2022 Board of Directors Stock Option Grant were valued at their grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value the option awards in fiscal 2022 are as follows:

Stock option expense for all outstanding stock option awards totaled approximately ~~$0.7~~$0.9 million and ~~$1.7~~$2.6 million for the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $1.1 million and $3.9 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. At ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, there was approximately ~~$6.3~~$4.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~2.3~~1.9 years.

The following table represents stock option activity for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021:

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021:

At ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, the aggregate intrinsic value for both of the outstanding and exercisable options was approximately ~~$34.9~~$39.0 million and ~~$18.7~~$16.6 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 was approximately ~~$5.6~~$14.7 million.

In May 2021, the Compensation Committee approved the granting to certain officers and key employees an aggregate of 52,577 shares of performance-vesting restricted stock that will be earned if certain performance conditions are satisfied (the Fiscal 2022 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award). The performance criteria for the Fiscal 2022 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award isare based upon the achievement of certain levels of return on equity (as defined in the award agreement), ranging from ~~10.0%~~10.0% to ~~20.0%~~20.0%, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. All restricted shares will be earned if the return on equity is 20.0% or greater, and the percentage of shares earned will be reduced proportionately to approximately ~~66.7%~~66.7% if the return on equity is 10.0%. If the Company does not achieve a return on equity of at least 10.0%, all awards will be forfeited. Following any such reduction, restrictions on the earned shares will lapse ratably over four years, with the initial fourth lapsing promptly following the determination date, and the remaining restrictions lapsing on March 31, 2023 through ~~2025.~~2025. The Compensation Committee also approved the granting of 43,816 shares of time-vesting restricted stock to the same officers and key employees, which vest ratably over four years (the Fiscal 2022 Employee Restricted Stock Time-Vesting Award). The Fiscal 2022 Employee Restricted Stock Performance Award and the Fiscal 2022 Employee Restricted Stock Time-Vesting Award were valued at the closing price of the stock on the grant date ~~of grant~~ and are being expensed over a four-year period.

In August 2021, we granted 15,720 shares of restricted stock to members of the Board of Directors (the Fiscal 2022 Board of Directors Restricted Stock Award). Restrictions on these shares will lapse six months after the grant date. The Fiscal 2022 Board of Directors Restricted Stock Award was valued at the closing price of the stock on the grant date and is being expensed over a six-month period.

The fair value of restricted stock is based on the stock price aton the ~~date of grant.~~ grant date. The following table summarizes the activity for nonvested restricted shares during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021:

Expense related to restricted shares was approximately ~~$1.8~~$3.4 million and ~~$3.0~~$8.1 million for the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, respectively, and $2.8 million and $8.2 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2020, respectively. At ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, there was approximately ~~$23.8~~$20.2 million of unearned compensation from restricted stock, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~2.9~~2.3 years.

The number of shares available for future grants of stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock under the Plan was ~~3,396,823~~3,377,311 at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021.

~~Subsequent to the issuance of the 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes, the repayment of the Term Loan, and the redemption of the 4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes, our Long-term Debt consists of the following:~~15

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities that earn revenue, incur expenses, and prepare separate financial information that is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources and assess performance. On September 18, 2020, we sold our Oil and Gas Proppants business, which had been reported as an operating segment. The Oil and Gas Proppants business was determined to meet the discontinued operations accounting criteria; therefore, this segment is no longer separately reported in our reportable segment footnote for any of the periods presented. Certain expenses of the Oil and Gas Proppants business that related to assets not included in the sale, namely real property and equipment in south Texas, real property in Illinois, and certain other assets, are included in Other when reconciling segment operating earnings to consolidated operating earnings. See Footnote (C) for more information about the sale of the Oil and Gas Proppants business.

Our business is organized into 2 sectors within which there are 4 reportable business segments. The Heavy Materials sector includes the Cement and Concrete and Aggregates segments. The Light Materials sector includes the Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard segments.

Our primary products are commodities that are essential in commercial and residential construction; public construction projects; and projects to build, expand, and repair roads and highways. Demand for our products is generally cyclical and seasonal, depending on economic and geographic conditions. We distribute our products ~~across many~~throughout most of the United States, ~~markets,~~except the Northeast, which provides us with regional economic diversification. Our operations are conducted in the U.S. and include the mining of limestone for the manufacture, production, distribution, and sale of portland cement (a basic construction material that is the essential binding ingredient in concrete); the grinding and sale of slag; the mining of gypsum for the manufacture and sale of gypsum wallboard; the manufacture and sale of recycled paperboard to the gypsum wallboard industry and other paperboard converters; the sale of readymix concrete; and the mining and sale of aggregates (crushed stone, sand, and gravel).

We operate 8 modern cement plants (one of which is operated through a joint venture located in Buda, Texas), 1 slag grinding facility, and 29 cement distribution terminals. Our cement companies focus on the U.S.

heartland and operate as an integrated network selling product primarily in California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Texas. We operate 26 readymix concrete batch plants and 3 aggregates processing plants in markets that are complementary to our cement network. On April 17, 2020, we sold our Concrete and Aggregates companies in northern California. See Footnote (C) for more information about the sale.

We operate 5 gypsum wallboard plants and a recycled paperboard mill. We distribute gypsum wallboard and recycled paperboard throughout the continental U.S., with the exception of the Northeast.

We account for intersegment sales at market prices. For segment reporting purposes only, we proportionately consolidate our ~~50%~~50% share of the Joint Venture Revenue and Operating Earnings, consistent with the way management reports the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

The following table sets forth certain financial information relating to our operations by segment. We do not allocate interest or taxes at the segment level; these costs are disclosed at the consolidated company level.

Segment operating earnings, including the proportionately consolidated 50% interest in the revenue and expenses of the Joint Venture, represent Revenue, less direct operating expenses, segment Depreciation, and segment Selling, General, and Administrative expenses. We account for intersegment sales at market prices. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, general office assets, and miscellaneous other assets.

The basis used to disclose Identifiable Assets; Capital Expenditures; and Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization conforms with the equity method, and is similar to how we disclose these accounts in our Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Summarized financial information for the Joint Venture that is not consolidated is set out below. This summarized financial information includes the total amount for the Joint Venture and not our 50% interest in those amounts:

Interest Income includes interest earned on investments of excess cash. Components of Interest Expense include interest associated with the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan, Senior Unsecured Notes, and commitment fees based on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. Other Expenses include amortization of debt issuance costs and Revolving Credit Facility costs. Other Expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 also include approximately $6.1 million for the write-off of debt issuance costs related to the Term Loan and 4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes, which were repaid and redeemed in July 2021.

We are currently contingently liable for performance under ~~$25.6~~$25.9 million in performance bonds required by certain states and municipalities, and their related agencies. The bonds are principally for certain reclamation obligations and mining permits. We have indemnified the underwriting insurance company against any exposure under the performance bonds. In our past experience, no material claims have been made against these financial ~~instruments.~~instruments.

(Q) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of our long-term debt has been estimated based upon our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of our 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 is as follows:

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We are a leading supplier of heavy construction materials and light building materials in the United States. Our primary products are commodities that are essential in commercial and residential construction; public construction projects; and projects to build, expand, and repair roads and highways. Demand for our products is generally cyclical and seasonal, depending on economic and geographic conditions. We distribute our products throughout most of the United States, except the Northeast, which provides us with regional economic diversification. However, general economic downturns or localized downturns in the regions where we have operations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our business is organized into two sectors: Heavy Materials, which includes the Cement and Concrete and Aggregates segments; and Light Materials, which includes the Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard segments. Financial results and other information for the three and nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 and2020, ~~respectively,~~ are presented on a consolidated basis and by these business segments – Cement, Concrete and Aggregates, Gypsum Wallboard, and Recycled Paperboard.

We conduct one of our cement operations through a joint venture, Texas Lehigh Cement Company LP, which is located in Buda, Texas (the Joint Venture). We own a 50% interest in the Joint Venture and account for our interest under the equity method of accounting. We proportionately consolidate our 50% share of the Joint Venture’s Revenue and Operating Earnings in the presentation of our Cement segment, which is the way management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

All our business activities are conducted in the United States. These activities include the mining of limestone for the manufacture, production, distribution, and sale of portland cement (a basic construction material that is the essential binding ingredient in concrete); the grinding and sale of slag; the mining of gypsum for the manufacture and sale of gypsum wallboard; the manufacture and sale of recycled paperboard to the gypsum wallboard industry and other paperboard converters; the sale of readymix concrete; and the mining and sale of aggregates (crushed stone, sand, and gravel).

On September 18, 2020, we sold our Oil and Gas Proppants business, which had previously been reported as a separate operating segment. Because the sale of the Oil and Gas Proppants business was determined to meet the accounting criteria for discontinued operations, this segment is no longer separately reported in our reportable segment footnote for any of the periods presented. See Footnote (C) in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the sale of the Oil and Gas Proppants business.

On April 17, 2020, we sold two of our businesses, Western Aggregates LLC (Western) and Mathews Readymix LLC (Mathews) ~~businesses~~, for an aggregate purchase price of $93.5 million, resulting in a gain of $52.0 million. Western and Mathews were part of our Concrete and Aggregates operating segment, and their results of operations were included in our financial statements for the period from April 1, 2020 through April 17, 2020.

MARKET CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK

Strong underlying market conditions in calendar 2021 supported construction activity in our markets, despite supply chain disruptions during the latter half of the calendar year, which adversely affected some of our customers. We believe demand for our products will remain ~~well positioned to manage~~strong in calendar 2022, supported in part by the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in November 2021.

Energy and freight costs increased in all of our ~~cost structure~~businesses during the fiscal third quarter, and ~~meet our customers’ requirements during~~we anticipate further increases throughout the remainder of fiscal 2022. InRegarding energy, we have forward purchase contracts for approximately 50% of our natural gas needs for the ~~first quarter~~remainder of the fiscal ~~2022, residential construction activity remained robust,~~year. For freight, several factors are contributing to higher costs, including: limited availability of trucking and ~~infrastructure spending continued at high levels. We expect demand for our Wallboard~~rail service, and ~~Cement businesses to remain strong throughout fiscal 2022. Additionally, if~~congestion on the ~~proposed federal infrastructure program is passed, investment in roads, bridges, and other infrastructure will increase further throughout the country.~~shipping routes, all of which have constrained capacity.

Cement and Concrete and Aggregates markets are affected by infrastructure spending, residential construction, ~~industrial~~private non-residential construction activity, and weather. ~~The Portland Cement Association estimates that in calendar 2021 cement consumption will increase approximately 2% over 2020.~~ Despite underlying increases in market demand, our organic Cement sales volume growth is expected to be limited in fiscal 2022 because our integrated cement sales network, which stretches across the U.S. heartland, is operating at high utilization levels.

Our primary Gypsum Wallboard sales network stretches across the southern half of the United States, consistent with our facility network. Wallboard demand is heavily influenced by new residential housing construction, as well as repair and remodeling activity. Residential housing starts increased, on a seasonally adjusted basis, approximately ~~29%~~3% in ~~during the first six-months of~~ calendar 2021, compared with ~~2020,~~2020. Repair and ~~are~~remodel activity is expected to remain strong throughout the ~~remainder~~rest of the ~~calendar year. Repair and remodel activity proved resilient~~fiscal year, but may be negatively affected by further delays in ~~2020 and is expected to continue to gain strength in calendar 2021.~~the supply chain.

Our Recycled Paperboard business sells paper primarily into the gypsum wallboard market, and demand for paper generally follows the demand for gypsum wallboard. The primary raw material used to produce paperboard is Old ~~Carboard~~Corrugated Containers (OCC). Prices for OCC significantly increased during the first nine months of fiscal ~~first quarter of 2022, and we anticipate that they could increase again in the fiscal second quarter before leveling off~~2022. Our current customer contracts for ~~the remainder of the fiscal year. Although current~~ gypsum liner ~~customer contracts~~ include price escalators that partially ~~offset and~~ compensate for changes in raw material fiber ~~prices,~~prices. However, because these ~~increases likely will adversely affect the cost of paper used to manufacture gypsum wallboard by~~price escalations are not realized until future quarters, material costs in our Gypsum Wallboard ~~segment.~~segment are likely to be higher in the period that these price increases are realized.

~~REVENUE~~

REVENUE

Revenue increased by ~~$48.8~~$58.3 million, or ~~11%~~14%, to ~~$475.8~~$462.9 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021. The increase in Revenue was due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which positively affected Revenue by approximately ~~$40.1~~$52.1 million and ~~$8.7~~$6.2 million, respectively.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

Cost of Goods Sold increased by ~~$24.6~~$33.1 million, or 8%11%, to ~~$349.3~~$324.4 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021. The increase was due to ~~the~~ higher Sales Volume and increased operating costs of ~~$5.8~~$3.8 million and ~~$18.8~~$29.3 million, respectively. Higher operating costs were primarily related to our Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard segments, which are discussed further in the segment analysis.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross Profit increased 22% to $138.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The improvement was primarily related to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, partially offset by increased operating costs. The gross margin increased to 30% from 28%, mainly because of higher gross sales prices, partially offset by an increase in operating costs.

EQUITY IN EARNINGS OF UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE

Equity in Earnings of our Unconsolidated Joint Venture declined $1.5 million, or 15%, for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower Sales Volume and increased operating costs, which adversely affected earnings by approximately $0.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively. This was partially offset by higher gross sales prices of $1.6 million. The increase in operating costs was due primarily to maintenance and purchased cement, which reduced operating earnings by $0.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

CORPORATE GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Corporate General and Administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.6 million, or 13%, for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher professional fees and insurance expenses of $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

OTHER NON-OPERATING INCOME

Other Non-Operating Income consists of a variety of items that are unrelated to segment operations and include non-inventoried Aggregates income, asset sales, and other miscellaneous income and cost items.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

Interest Expense, net decreased by approximately $3.7 million, or 40%, during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest on borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan of approximately $0.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Interest Expense related to our Revolving Credit Facility was lower because our average outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were less in the fiscal 2022 third quarter, compared with the same period in fiscal 2021. Interest Expense on our Term Loan declined because we repaid the loan on July 1, 2021. The lower interest amounts were partially offset by higher interest expense on our public notes, which increased by $0.8 million. Interest on our public notes was higher because our public notes outstanding increased to $750.0 million from $350.0 million. See Footnote (M) to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS BEFORE INCOME TAXES

Earnings From Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes increased to $131.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of higher Gross Profit and lower Interest Expense. This was partially offset by higher Corporate General and Administrative Expenses and lower Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Joint Venture.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income Tax Expense was $29.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared with $23.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The effective tax rate decreased to 22% from 23% in the prior-year period. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to the benefit received from the exercise of employee stock options during the quarter.

NET EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Net Earnings from Continuing Operations increased 26% to $102.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Diluted Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations increased 30% to $2.53 per share.

NET EARNINGS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The Oil and Gas Proppants business was sold in September 2020, and there was no activity related to this business during fiscal 2022.

NET EARNINGS

Net Earnings increased 26% to $102.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, as discussed above.

REVENUE

Revenue increased by $169.1 million, or 13%, to $1,448.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in Revenue was due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which positively affected Revenue by approximately $141.2 million and $27.9 million, respectively.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

Cost of Goods Sold increased by $87.2 million, or 9%, to $1,028.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. The increase was due to higher Sales Volume and operating costs of $20.4 million and $66.7 million, respectively. The increase in operating costs was primarily related to our ~~Cement~~Gypsum Wallboard and ~~Gypsum Wallboard~~Recycled Paperboard segments, which are discussed further in the segment analysis.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross Profit increased 24% to ~~$126.5~~$420.4 million during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021. The improvement was ~~primarily~~mainly due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, partially offset by increased operating costs.

CORPORATE GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Corporate General and Administrative expenses declined by approximately ~~$8.3~~$7.2 million, or ~~47%~~18%, for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower professional and transaction fees incurred in fiscal 2021 of approximately ~~$4.6~~$5.1 million and ~~$2.9~~$3.4 million, respectively. The professional fees related primarily to our strategic portfolio review in the prior year, and the transaction fees mostly related to the prior year sale of Mathews Readymix and Western Aggregates, ~~and the~~as well as preparation for the sale of the Oil and Gas Proppants business. The decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1.4 million in insurance expense.

EARLY RETIREMENT OF SENIOR NOTES

In July 2021, the Company redeemed and retired its 4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2026 prior to the maturity date. As a result of the early retirement, the Company paid a premium of $8.4 million. See Footnote (M) to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

GAIN ON SALE OF BUSINESSES

On April 17, 2020 we sold Western and Mathews for approximately $93.5 million. See Footnote (C) to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding the sale.

OTHER NON-OPERATING INCOME ~~(LOSS)~~

Other Non-Operating Income ~~(Loss)~~ consists of a variety of items that are unrelated to segment operations and include non-inventoried Aggregates income, asset sales, and other miscellaneous income and cost items. The increase in Other Non-Operating Income ~~(Loss)~~ was primarily due to the current year sale of land that resulted in a gain of approximately $1.7 million.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

Interest Expense, net decreased by approximately ~~$7.0~~$11.1 million, or ~~50%~~31%, during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest on borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan of approximately ~~$4.6~~$7.1 million and ~~$2.3~~$11.4 million, respectively. Interest Expense related to our Revolving Credit Facility was lower because ~~we had no~~our average outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility ~~during~~were significantly less in the first ~~quarter~~nine months of fiscal 2022, compared with average borrowings ~~of approximately $500.0 million~~ during the ~~first quarter of~~same period in fiscal 2021. Interest Expense on our Term Loan declined ~~due to~~because of lower average interest ~~rates.~~rates and because we repaid the loan on July 1, 2021. The lower interest amounts were partially offset by higher interest expense on our public notes and loan amortization expense, which increased by $2.2 million and $5.5 million, respectively. Interest on our public notes was higher because our public notes outstanding increased to $750.0 million from $350.0 million in July 2021. Loan amortization expense increased as a result of our $6.1 million write-off of debt issuance costs related to our 4.500% Unsecured Senior Notes Due in 2026 and our Term Loan in July 2021. See Footnote (M) to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Three months ended December 31, 2021

Cement Revenue was ~~$270.3~~$261.2 million, a 3%12% increase, for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which improved Cement Revenue by approximately ~~$12.8 million. This was partially offset by lower Sales Volume, which reduced Revenue by $3.9 million.~~ $11.8 million and $15.3 million, respectively.

Cement Operating Earnings increased by 3%13% to ~~$62.5~~$79.8 million for the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021. The increase was due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which positively affected Operating Earnings by approximately ~~$12.8 million.~~$11.8 million and $4.4 million, respectively. This was partially offset by ~~lower Sales Volume and~~ increased operating costs, which negatively affected Operating Earnings by ~~$1.6~~$6.9 million. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to higher energy and maintenance costs of approximately $3.4 million and ~~$9.1~~$5.4 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by lower fixed costs of $1.6 million.The Operating Margin increased to 31%, primarily because of higher gross sales prices, partially offset by increased operating costs.

Nine months ended December 31, 2021

Cement Revenue was $819.7 million, a 6% increase, for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which improved Cement Revenue by approximately $33.7 million and $12.4 million, respectively.

Cement Operating Earnings increased by 10% to $231.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. The improvement was due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which positively affected Operating Earnings by approximately $33.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively. This was partially offset by increased operating costs, which negatively affected Operating Earnings by $15.8 million. The increase in operating costs was primarily due to higher maintenance ~~energy~~ and ~~transfer freight~~energy costs of approximately ~~$11.0 million, $2.1~~$12.1 million and ~~$1.6~~$6.6 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by ~~lower purchased cement costs of $2.2 million and~~ a cost reduction of $3.7 million ~~of costs~~ at Kosmos Cement related to the recording of acquired inventory at fair value in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in maintenance expense was due to the shifting of certain maintenance outages in fiscal 2021 to the second and third quarters because of the uncertainty of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the current fiscal year, we performed maintenance outages during the first quarter for all our plants. The Operating Margin ~~remained consistent at 23%.~~
increased to 28% because of higher gross sales prices, partially offset by the increase in operating costs.

Recycled Paperboard Revenue increased ~~18%~~26% to ~~$43.3~~$49.8 million during the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which positively affected Revenue by $8.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Higher gross sales prices were related to the pricing provisions in our long-term sales agreements.

Operating Earnings decreased 67% to $2.3 million, primarily because of higher operating costs, which reduced Operating Earnings by approximately $13.9 million. This was partially offset by higher gross sales prices and Sales Volume, which increased Operating Earnings by $8.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The increase in operating costs was primarily related to higher input costs, namely fiber and energy, which lowered Operating Earnings by approximately $11.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The Operating Margin declined to 5% because of increased operating costs, partially offset by higher gross sales prices. Although the Company has certain pricing provisions in its long-term sales agreements, prices are only adjusted at certain times throughout the year so the timing of price adjustments is not always in the same period as the change in costs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to adopt accounting policies and make significant judgments and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in the financial statements. In many cases, there are alternative policies or estimation techniques that could be used. We maintain a thorough process to review the application of our accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the many estimates that are required to prepare our financial statements. However, even under optimal circumstances, estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and the receipt of new or better information.

Information regarding our Critical Accounting Policies can be found in our Annual Report. The three critical accounting policies that we believe either require the use of the most judgment, or the selection or application of alternative accounting policies, and are material to our financial statements, are those relating to long-lived assets, goodwill, and business combinations. Management has discussed the development and selection of these Critical Accounting Policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and with our independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, Note (A) to the financial statements in our Annual Report contains a summary of our significant accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Footnote (A) in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements that may affect our financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We believe at this time that we have access to sufficient financial resources from our liquidity sources to fund our business and operations, including contractual obligations, capital expenditures, and debt service obligations for at least the next twelve months. We will continue to monitor the potential impact of future COVID-19 outbreaks, or similar disruptions onto the economy, and on our operations, as well as any other economic impacts related to changing fiscal policy or economic conditions. Please see the Debt Financing Activities section below for a discussion of our revolving credit facility and the amount of borrowings available to us in the next twelve-month period.

This ~~increase~~decrease was primarily attributable to changes in working capital of $166.9 million and lower dividends from our Unconsolidated Joint Venture of $6.7 million. This was partially offset by higher Net Earnings, adjusted for non-cash charges, of approximately ~~$54.1~~$60.5 million.

Working capital ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$50.0~~$270.6 million to ~~$542.3~~$221.7 million at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, because of ~~increased~~lower Cash ~~Accounts Receivable,~~ and ~~Prepaid and Other Assets~~Inventories of approximately ~~$43.0 million, $40.3~~$246.1 million and ~~$7.9~~$23.7 million, ~~respectively.~~respectively, and higher Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities of $23.7 million. This was partially offset by increased Accounts ~~Payable and Accrued Expenses~~Receivable and Income ~~Taxes Payable~~Tax Receivable of approximately ~~$8.9~~$23.6 million and ~~$13.8~~$6.1 million, ~~respectively, and decreased Inventory of approximately $18.6 million.~~respectively. The reduction in ~~Inventory~~Cash was due to ~~higher Revenue~~the redemption and ~~lower production resulting from scheduled outages at~~repayment of our ~~cement plants.~~4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026 and Term Loan in July 2021. The ~~decrease~~reduction in ~~Accrued Liabilities~~inventory was due to our normal sales cycle where we build inventory in the winter months to meet demand in the spring and ~~increase in Income Taxes Payable were both due primarily to timing.~~summer.

The increase in Accounts Receivable at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, was primarily related to higher Revenue during the three months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2021. As a percentage of quarterly sales generated for the respective quarter, Accounts Receivable was approximately ~~40%~~37% at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 and 43% at March 31, 2021. Management measures the change in Accounts Receivable by monitoring the days sales outstanding on a monthly basis to determine if any deterioration has occurred in the collectability of the Accounts Receivable. No significant deterioration in the collectability of our Accounts Receivable was identified at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021. Notes Receivable are monitored on an individual basis, and no significant deterioration in the collectability of our Notes Receivable was identified at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021.

Our Inventory balance at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 declined by approximately ~~$18.6~~$23.7 million from our balance at March 31, 2021. Within Inventory, raw materials and materials-in-progress decreased by approximately $29.6 million and finished cement decreased by approximately $2.3 million. The decline in raw materials and materials-in-progress and finished cement is consistent with our business cycle; we generally build up clinker inventory over the winter months to meet the demand for cement in the spring and summer. This was partially offset by increases in Gypsum Wallboard, Recycled Paperboard, and Repair Parts inventories of $2.0 million, $2.3 million, and $3.7 million, respectively. The increases in repair parts ~~and supplies decreased approximately $13.5 million, $2.6 million, and $1.8 million, respectively. These declines were~~inventory is primarily due ~~primarily~~ to the ~~maintenance~~build-up of inventory necessary for our scheduled outages ~~at all of our cement plants during~~over the ~~quarter.~~next several months. The largest individual balance in our Inventory is our repair parts. These parts are necessary given the size and complexity of our manufacturing plants, as well as the age of certain of our plants, which creates the need to stock a high level of repair parts inventory. We believe all of these repair parts are necessary, and we perform semi-annual analyses to identify obsolete parts. We have less than one year’s sales of all product inventories, and our inventories have a low risk of obsolescence because our products are basic construction materials.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 was approximately ~~$11.9~~$55.2 million, compared with ~~$67.5~~Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities of $45.5 million during the same period in 2020, a decrease of approximately ~~$79.4~~$100.7 million. The decrease was primarily related to the $91.0 million of cash received for the sale of ~~Western~~businesses in fiscal 2021, and ~~Mathews in the prior year for approximately $93.5 million, partially offset by a reduction~~an increase of ~~$14.1~~$9.7 million in capital ~~spending.~~spending in fiscal 2022 compared with fiscal 2021. The ~~reduction~~increase in capital spending was ~~primarily~~mainly related to ~~lower capital~~higher spending in our Cement and Gypsum Wallboard ~~and~~businesses, partially offset by lower spending in our Recycled Paperboard ~~businesses.~~business.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities was approximately ~~$56.2~~$624.8 million during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, compared with ~~$82.0~~$558.4 million induring the ~~first quarter of fiscal 2021.~~nine months ended December 31, 2020. During the first ~~quarter~~nine months of fiscal 2022, we had ~~$61.9~~$436.0 million of share repurchases and retirements, ~~which~~increased Dividends Paid to Shareholders of $16.3 million, and Debt Issuance costs of $6.3 million. This was partially offset by ~~$8.2~~an increase of $12.2 million of cash received from the exercise of stock options ~~compared with~~and a reduction in net borrowings of ~~$75.0~~$388.7 million ~~and dividends paid of $4.2 million in~~compared with fiscal 2021.

Our debt-to-capitalization ratio and net-debt-to-capitalization ratio were ~~42.2%~~41.0% and ~~33.7%~~40.5%, respectively, at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, compared with 42.8% and 35.6%, respectively, at March 31, 2021.

Debt Financing Activities

Below is a summary of the Company’s outstanding debt facilities ~~subsequent to the issuance of the 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes, the repayment of the Term Loan, and the redemption of the 4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes in July~~at December 31, 2021:


	Maturity
Revolving Credit Facility		July 2026
2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes		July 2031

See Footnote (M) to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company’s debt facilities, including interest rate, and financial and other covenants and restrictions.

The borrowing capacity of our ~~New~~ Revolving Credit Facility is $750.0 million until July 1, 2026. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes a swingline loan sublimit of $25.0 million, and a $40.0 million letter of credit facility. At ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 we had ~~$4.3~~$100.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $5.0 million of outstanding letters of credit. We are contingently liable for performance under ~~$25.6~~$25.9 million in performance bonds relating primarily to our mining operations. We do not have any off-balance sheet debt, or any outstanding debt guarantees.

We did not have any borrowing outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2021. However, we borrowed $100.0 million in connection with the repayment of the 4.500% Senior Unsecured Notes on July 19, 2021. After this borrowing, we had $645.7 million of available borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit, all of which was available for future borrowings.

Other than the ~~New~~ Revolving Credit Facility, we have no additional source of committed external financing in place. Should the ~~New~~ Revolving Credit Facility be terminated, no assurance can be given as to our ability to secure a new source of financing. Consequently, if any balance were outstanding on the ~~New~~ Revolving Credit Facility at the time of termination, and an alternative source of financing could not be secured, it would have a material adverse impact on our business.

We believe that our cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our ~~New~~ Revolving Credit Facility, as well as cash on hand, should be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated operating needs, capital expenditures, and dividend and debt service requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, our future liquidity and capital requirements may vary depending on a number of factors, including market conditions in the construction industry, our ability to maintain compliance with covenants in our ~~New~~ Revolving Credit Facility, the level of competition, and general and economic factors beyond our control, such as COVID-19 or similar pandemics. These and other developments could reduce our cash flow or require that we seek additional sources of funding. We cannot predict what effect these factors will have on our future liquidity.

As market conditions warrant, the Company may from time to time seek to purchase or repay its outstanding debt securities or loans, including the 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes, and borrowings under the ~~New~~ Revolving Credit Facility, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Subject to any applicable limitations contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness, any purchases made by us may be funded by the use of cash on our balance sheet or the incurrence of new debt. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in aggregate, may be material.

We have approximately ~~$38.9~~$37.0 million of lease liabilities at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021 that have an average remaining life of approximately ~~10.5~~10.2 years.

Dividends

Dividends paid were $20.5 million and $4.2 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 30, 2020. There were no dividends paid during the three months ended June 30, 2021.~~December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. On May 19, 2021, we announced the reinstatement of our quarterly dividend that was suspended in fiscal 2021. Each quarterly dividend payment is subject to review and ~~declared~~approval by our Board of Directors, who will continue to evaluate our dividend payment amount on a ~~$0.25 per share dividend to shareholders, which was paid in July 2021.~~quarterly basis.

On April 18, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase an additional 10.0 million shares. This authorization brought the cumulative total of Common Stock our Board has approved for repurchase in the open market to 48.4 million shares since we became publicly held in April 1994. Through ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, we have repurchased approximately ~~41.5~~44.0 million shares.

Share repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of any share repurchases are determined by management, based on its evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors. In some cases, repurchases may be made pursuant to plans, programs, or directions established from time to time by the Company’s management, including plans intended to comply with the safe-harbor provided by Rule 10b5-1.

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, the Company withheld from employees ~~8,005~~8,973 shares of stock upon the vesting of Restricted Shares that were granted under the Plan. We withheld these shares to satisfy the employees’ statutory tax withholding requirements, which is required once the Restricted Shares or Restricted Shares Units are vested.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain matters discussed in this report contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the context of the statement and generally arise when the Company is discussing its beliefs, estimates or expectations. These statements are not historical facts or guarantees of future performance but instead represent only the Company’s belief at the time the statements were made regarding future events which are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. The principal risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s actual performance include the following: the cyclical and seasonal nature of the Company’s businesses; public infrastructure expenditures; adverse weather conditions; the fact that our products are commodities and that prices for our products are subject to material fluctuation due to market conditions and other factors beyond our control; availability of raw materials; changes in the costs of energy, including, without limitation, natural gas, coal and oil, and the nature of our obligations to counterparties under energy supply contracts, such as those related to market conditions (such as fluctuations in spot market prices), governmental orders and other matters; changes in the cost and availability of transportation; unexpected operational difficulties, including unexpected maintenance costs, equipment downtime and interruption of production; material nonpayment or non-performance by any of our key customers; fluctuations in or changes in the nature of activity in the oil and gas industry; inability to timely execute announced capacity expansions; difficulties and delays in the development of new business lines; governmental regulation and changes in governmental and public policy (including, without limitation, climate change and other environmental regulation); possible outcomes of pending or future litigation or arbitration proceedings; changes in economic conditions specific to any one or more of the Company’s markets; adverse impact of severe weather conditions (such as winter storms, tornados and hurricanes) and their effects on our facilities, operations and contractual arrangements with third parties; competition; cyber-attacks or data security breaches; announced increases in capacity in the gypsum wallboard and cement industries; changes in the demand for residential housing construction or commercial construction or construction projects undertaken by state or local governments; risks related to pursuit of acquisitions, joint ventures and other transactions or the execution or implementation of such transactions, including the integration of operations acquired by the Company; general economic conditions; and interest rates. For example, increases in interest rates, decreases in demand for construction materials or increases in the cost of energy (including, without limitation, natural gas, coal and oil) and the cost of our raw materials could affect the revenue and operating earnings of our operations. In addition, changes in national or regional economic conditions and levels of infrastructure and construction spending could also adversely affect the Company’s result of operations. Finally, any forward-looking statements made by the Company are subject to the risks and impacts associated with natural disasters, pandemics or other unforeseen events, including, without limitation, the COVID-19 pandemic and responses thereto designed to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects, as well as their impact on economic conditions, capital and financial markets. These and other factors are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. All forward-looking statements made herein are made as of the date hereof, and the risk that actual results will differ materially from expectations expressed herein will increase with the passage of time. The Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to reflect future events or changes in the Company’s expectations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on our Revolving Credit ~~Facility and Term Loan.~~Facility. We have occasionally utilized derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, in conjunction with our overall strategy to manage the debt outstanding that is subject to changes in interest rates. We have a $750.0 million Revolving Credit Facility ~~and an outstanding Term Loan~~ at ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2021, under which borrowings bear interest at a variable rate. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates on the $665.0 million of borrowings under the Term Loan at June 30, 2021 would increase interest expense by approximately $6.7 million on an annual basis. The same hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates on the $100.0 million of borrowings under the ~~New~~ Revolving Credit Facility ~~made subsequent to June 30,~~at December 31, 2021 would increase interest expense by approximately $1.0 million on an annual basis. At present, we do not utilize derivative financial instruments.

We are subject to commodity risk with respect to price changes principally in coal, coke, natural gas, and power. We attempt to limit our exposure to changes in commodity prices by entering into contracts or increasing our use of alternative fuels.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We have established a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information relating to the Company, which is required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), in a timely fashion. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) was performed as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. This evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO. Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we have been and may in the future become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business activities or in connection with transactions or activities undertaken by us, including claims related to worker safety, worker health, environmental matters, commercial contracts, land use rights, taxes, and permits. While the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management (based on currently available facts), we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of any currently pending legal proceeding will have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

For additional information regarding claims and other contingent liabilities to which we may be subject, see Footnote (P) in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
