Forward guidance

Martin Marietta updated its full-year 2021 guidance to reflect recent trends and the contribution of the Tiller acquisition. This guidance excludes any benefit from additional fiscal stimulus, relief funds beyond those already enacted or a potential successor federal surface transportation bill.

Tailwinds

  • Favorable pricing dynamics will continue, supported by the Company’s locally-driven pricing strategy.
  • Single-family housing growth will drive increased shipment levels.
  • Expanded infrastructure investment will drive increased shipment levels.
  • Notable heavy industrial projects of scale will drive increased shipment levels.
  • Potential for increased infrastructure investment from a comprehensive federal surface transportation package, to result in sustained, multi-year growth in product demand.

Headwinds

  • Ability of the Company to face challenges, including those posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and implementation of any such related response plans.
  • Fluctuations in COVID-19 cases in the United States and the extent that geography of outbreak primarily matches the regions in which the Company’s Building Materials business principally operates.
  • Resiliency and potential declines of the Company’s various construction end-use markets.
  • Potential negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s ability to continue supplying heavy-side building materials and related services at normal levels or at all in the Company’s key regions.
  • Duration, impact and severity of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, including the markets in which we do business, our suppliers, customers or other business partners as well as on our employees.
