Earnings Call Q4 2024
February 18, 2025 - AI Summary
Strong Q4 Performance: Vulcan Materials reported $550 million in adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024, marking a 16% year-over-year improvement. This was the eighth consecutive quarter of improved adjusted EBITDA margins, indicating strong operational execution despite market fluctuations.
Pricing and Profitability Outlook: The company expects freight-adjusted aggregates price growth of 5% to 7% in 2025, driven by continued pricing momentum. This includes a projected negative mix impact of over 100 basis points from recent acquisitions. Importantly, their cash gross profit per ton increased 12% YoY to $11.50, and they aim for continued double-digit margin growth.
Volume Growth Expectations: While 2025 aggregate shipments are anticipated to increase by 3% to 5%, the growth is primarily sourced from recent acquisitions and expected stability in their legacy business. This optimism is tempered by challenges in private non-residential construction.
