今天推出国外砂石行业最新动态：美国第二季度砂石骨料产量下降，价格上涨。

美国砂石骨料销售下降趋势持续到了2023年第二季度。

火神材料（Vulcan Materials）、马丁·玛丽埃塔（Martin Marietta）和 峰会材料（Summit Materials）等几大美国砂石骨料生产商表示，它们的砂石骨料产量有所下降。幸运的是，这些上市公司和其他公司在第二季度结束前再次通过进一步提高骨料产品价格，找到了财务增长的途径。

马丁•玛丽埃塔公司董事长兼首席执行官沃德·奈 (Ward Nye) 表示：“第二季度，马丁•玛丽埃塔公司在几乎所有安全、财务和运营指标上都表现出色。”该公司第二季度砂石出货量下降了5.7%。“尽管砂石出货量较低，但这些令人印象深刻的业绩证明了我们商业战略——“价值超过产量”的成功以及我们的商业模式在各种宏观经济条件下的耐久性。”

峰会材料公司第二季度情况与此类似。

Summit Materials 总裁兼首席执行官 Anne Noonan 表示：“整个产品组合持续的定价势头，加上坚实的需求基本面和非常强大的运营执行力，为我们的业务带来了出色的第二季度业绩和多项财务记录。”本季度与砂石骨料相关的净收入增长了 13%。

以下是几家涉及砂石业务的生产商第二季度业绩概要。

The downward trend in aggregate sales volumes continued into the second quarter of 2023.

 

Vulcan Materials, Martin Marietta and Summit Materials were among the industry’s public producers to indicate their aggregate volumes were down. Fortunately, these public companies and others once again found a pathway to financial growth by focusing on price – raising them further – before the second quarter closed.

“Martin Marietta delivered exceptional performance across nearly every safety, financial and operational measure in the second quarter,” says Ward Nye, chairman and CEO of Martin Marietta, whose aggregate shipments slipped 5.7 percent in the second quarter. “These impressive results, despite lower aggregates shipments, demonstrate the success of our value-over-volume commercial strategy and the durability of our business model through various macroeconomic conditions.”

The second-quarter narrative at Summit was similar.

“Sustained pricing momentum across the portfolio, together with solid demand fundamentals and very strong operational execution, resulted in [a] remarkable second-quarter performance and several financial records for our business,” says Anne Noonan, president and CEO of Summit Materials, whose net revenue tied to aggregates jumped 13 percent in the quarter.

Here’s a second-quarter rundown of several public producers with businesses involving aggregates.

 

火神材料

尽管 Vulcan 第二季度的砂石骨料出货量下降了1%，但该公司的砂石运费调整后销售价格比去年同期上涨了15%，即每吨 2.44 美元。

据Vulcan称，定价势头和砂石骨料业务稳健的运营执行推动本季度每吨现金毛利润提高22%，达到每吨9.76美元。

Vulcan董事长兼首席执行官Tom Hill表示：“我们到 2023 年上半年的盈利增长反映了我们战略的持续执行以及我们以砂石为主导的业务实力所带来的复合效益。”“骨料毛利率扩大了230个基点，每吨现金毛利润提高了23%，达到每吨8.98美元。我们整个业务强劲的销售和运营势头预计将持续到今年剩余时间。出货量受益于大型工业项目，住宅建设活动也好于预期。”

Vulcan Materials

Although Vulcan’s aggregate shipments dipped 1 percent in the second quarter, the company’s freight-adjusted selling prices for aggregates increased 15 percent, or $2.44 per ton, versus the prior year.

According to Vulcan, pricing momentum and solid operational execution in its aggregate business drove a 22 percent improvement in cash gross profit per ton to $9.76 per ton in the quarter.

“Our earnings growth through the first half of 2023 reflects the compounding benefits of the consistent execution of our strategic disciplines and the strength of our aggregates-led business,” says Tom Hill, chairman and CEO of Vulcan. “Aggregates gross profit margin has expanded 230 basis points, and cash gross profit per ton has improved 23 percent to $8.98 per ton. Strong sales and operating momentum across our business is expected to carry through the rest of the year. Shipments have benefited from large industrial projects, and residential construction activity has been better than expected.”

 

马丁•玛丽埃塔

尽管Martin Marietta第二季度砂石骨料出货量下降了近6%，但该公司与砂石骨料出货量相关的毛利润跃升了20.7%，达到 3.709 亿美元的季度记录。

在整个公司范围内，Martin Marietta 第二季度的总收入增长了10.9%，达到18.2 亿美元。该公司的建筑材料业务（包括骨料、水泥、预拌混凝土、沥青和铺路）创造了 17.4 亿美元的收入，创下了该公司第二季度的最高纪录。

Nye表示：“随着创纪录的基础设施和制造业公共资金开始进入美国经济，我们仍然预计2023年下半年砂石需求将加速。”“这种详细记录的加大投资应该会在很大程度上抵消当前的住宅建设低迷，我们预计住宅低迷情况将在2023年第三季度触底。”

 

Martin Marietta

Although Martin Marietta’s second-quarter aggregate shipments dropped nearly 6 percent, the company’s gross profit tied to aggregates jumped 20.7 percent to a quarterly record of $370.9 million.

Companywide, Martin Marietta’s total revenues were up 10.9 percent in the second quarter to $1.82 billion. The company’s building materials business, which consists of aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt and paving, generated $1.74 billion of that – a second-quarter record for the company.

“As record-setting public funds for infrastructure and manufacturing begin to enter the U.S. economy, we continue to expect that aggregates demand will accelerate in the second half of 2023,” Nye says. “This well-chronicled increased investment should largely offset the current residential construction air pocket, which we expect to bottom in the third quarter of 2023.”

 

豪瑞

Holcim的美国和加拿大业务在第二季度经历了强劲的需求，该公司指出，在岸活动和能源行业投资支撑了增长。

Holcim在北美地区对外部客户的季度净销售额增长了7.3%，经常性息税前利润（增长7.3%）也有所增长。今年上半年，Holcim 在北美地区对外部客户的净销售额增长了11.4%，经常性息税前利润增长了20%。

 

Holcim

Holcim’s U.S. and Canadian operations experienced strong demand in the second quarter, with the company noting that onshoring activities and energy sector investments underpinned growth.

Holcim’s quarterly net sales in North America to external customers were up 7.3 percent, and recurring EBIT (up 7.3 percent) grew as well. For the first half of the year, Holcim’s net sales in North America to external customers were up 11.4 percent while recurring EBIT was up 20 percent.

 

海德堡材料

海德堡材料公司 2023 年上半年来自北美的收入增长了16%。这一增幅是海德堡材料服务的全球五个地区中增幅最大的。

海德堡材料表示，与 2022 年上半年相比，其北美骨料交付量实际上略有上升。中西部的高速公路基础设施和大型制造设施项目尤其推动了这一增长。海德堡材料公司表示，随着建筑活动水平的持续提高，东南部和西南部的销量保持稳定。

 

Heidelberg Materials

Heidelberg Materials’ first-half 2023 revenue deriving from North America was up 16 percent. The increase was the largest percentage gain of the five global regions Heidelberg Materials serves.

Compared with the first half of 2022, Heidelberg Materials says its deliveries of aggregates actually rose slightly in North America. Highway infrastructure and large-scale manufacturing facility projects in the Midwest particularly drove the increase. Heidelberg Materials says sales volumes in the Southeast and Southwest remained stable as heightened construction activity levels continued.

 

西麦斯

Cemex的美国业务第二季度创历史新高，息税折旧摊销前利润EBITDA 增长 87%，达到 3.03 亿美元。与此同时，美国的净销售额增长了10%，达到 14.2 亿美元。

Cemex首席执行官费尔南多·冈萨雷斯 (Fernando González) 表示：“我们的定价策略、补充投资和城市化解决方案业务的成功，以及成本通胀的放缓，正在推动我们公司迎来非常强劲的一年。”

 

Cemex

Cemex’s U.S. business reported a record second quarter, with EBITDA growing 87 percent to $303 million. Net sales in the U.S., meanwhile, grew 10 percent to $1.42 billion.

“The success of our pricing strategy, bolt-on investments and urbanization solutions business, as well as decelerating cost inflation, are driving what is shaping up to be a very strong year for our company,” says Fernando González, CEO of Cemex.

 

老鹰材料

Eagle Materials 提供了截至 6月30日的 2024财年第一季度的见解，指出由于定价上涨和砂石骨料销量增加，混凝土和砂石骨料收入增长了9%。

Eagle Materials 混凝土和骨料业务的营业利润也增长了 23%，反映出混凝土和骨料净销售价格上涨等因素。

 

Eagle Materials

Eagle Materials provided insights about its first quarter of fiscal 2024 that ended June 30, noting that concrete and aggregate revenue was up 9 percent due to increased pricing for both and higher sales volumes in aggregates.

Eagle Materials’ operating earnings also increased 23 percent in concrete and aggregates, reflecting factors such as elevated concrete and aggregate net sales prices.

 

峰会材料

Summit与骨料相关的季度净收入跃升13%，达到1.825 亿美元，骨料平均售价上涨14.5%。

与此同时，该公司调整后现金毛利率总体下滑至53.6%。2022年第二季度这一比例为53.7%。

此外，Summit第二季度的骨料销量下降了2.5%，尽管该公司将部分下降归因于东部业务的剥离。西部地区不利的天气条件和住宅建设疲软也是因素之一。

 

Summit Materials

Summit’s quarterly net revenue tied to aggregates jumped 13 percent to $182.5 million, and its average selling price for aggregates increased 14.5 percent.

The company’s adjusted cash gross profit margin in aggregates, meanwhile, slipped to 53.6 percent. That mark was at 53.7 percent in the second quarter of 2022.

Additionally, Summit’s aggregate sales volumes declined in the second quarter by 2.5 percent, although the company attributes part of the drop to divestitures in its East segment. Unfavorable weather conditions and residential construction softness in the West were factors, as well.

 

阿尔科萨公司

Arcosa表示，第二季度建筑产品收入增长8%，达到2.648亿美元。再生骨料的更高定价和销量增长推动了这一增长，同时推动了公司沟槽支撑业务的有机销量增长和收购相关贡献。

阿科萨表示，与天然骨料和特种材料相关的收入相对没有变化，因为较高的价格抵消了销量的下降。

Arcosa总裁兼首席执行官 Antonio Carrillo 表示：“在建筑产品方面，我们继续成功提高定价、管理成本压力并推动天然和再生骨料的单位盈利能力稳固。”“然而，整体调整后的部门EBITDA利润率受到我们正在解决的特种材料业务运营效率低下的影响。”

 

Arcosa

According to Arcosa, its construction products revenue increased 8 percent in the second quarter to $264.8 million. Higher pricing and volume growth in recycled aggregates drove the increase along with organic volume growth and acquisition-related contributions from the company’s trench shoring business.

Revenue tied to natural aggregates and specialty materials was relatively unchanged, Arcosa says, as higher pricing offset lower volumes.

“In construction products, we continued to successfully advance pricing, manage cost pressures and drive solid unit profitability in natural and recycled aggregates,” says Antonio Carrillo, president and CEO of Arcosa. “However, overall adjusted segment EBITDA margins were impacted by operating inefficiencies in our specialty materials business that we are addressing.”

 

Knife River公司

Knife River Corp. 公布了其作为一家独立上市公司的首份财务业绩，并指出该公司第二季度的收入、净利润和 EBITDA 均创下历史新高。

该公司现已在纽约证券交易所独立交易，并于6月完成了从 MDU Resources 的分拆。

“回顾本季度，我们的每个地区都受益于严格的材料定价、有针对性的投标和扎实的执行，这是我们竞争优势战略的关键组成部分——Knife River 提高调整后 EBITDA 利润率的计划，并执行旨在持续盈利的其他关键举措。”Knife River 总裁兼首席执行官 Brian Gray 说道，“当我们进入建筑季节的中心时，我们希望进一步利用我们以骨料为主导的垂直整合业务模式，以利用行业顺风。”

Knife River公布第二季度综合收入为 7.852 亿美元，比去年同期增长10%。该公司表示，其每个区域部门均表现良好，所有合并产品线均提价10%。

 

Knife River

Knife River Corp. reported its first financial results as an independent, public company, noting that it set all-time second-quarter highs in revenue, net income and EBITDA.

The company, which now trades independently on the New York Stock Exchange, completed its spinoff from MDU Resources in June.

“Reflecting on the quarter, each of our regions benefited from disciplined materials pricing, targeted bidding and solid execution, which are key components of our Competitive EDGE strategy – Knife River’s plan for increasing adjusted EBITDA margins and executing on other key initiatives aimed at continued profitable growth,” says Brian Gray, president and CEO of Knife River. “As we head into the heart of the construction season, we look to further leverage our aggregates-led, vertically integrated business model to take advantage of industry tailwinds.”

Knife River reported second-quarter consolidated revenue of $785.2 million, a 10 percent increase from the prior-year period. The company says each of its regional segments performed well and that 10 percent price increases were established across all consolidated product lines.

 

花岗岩建筑公司

Granite Construction的材料业务季度增长、收入和毛利润较2022年同期有所增长。

骨料和沥青价格上涨以及砂石骨料销量增加是收益增长的主要因素。Granite 表示，砂石骨料销量同比增长9%，而本季度沥青销量持平。

Granite总裁兼首席执行官凯尔·拉金 (Kyle Larkin) 表示：“我预计下半年材料和建筑收入以及毛利润将持续同比改善。”

 

Granite Construction

Granite Construction made quarterly gains in its materials business, noting that revenue and gross profit were up compared to the same period of 2022.

Higher aggregate and asphalt pricing, as well as increased aggregate sales volumes, were factors in the gains. Aggregate sales volumes increased 9 percent year over year, Granite says, while asphalt sales volumes in the quarter were flat.

“I expect we will see continued year-over-year improvement in materials and construction revenue and gross profit in the second half of the year,” says Kyle Larkin, president and CEO at Granite.

 

美国石灰和矿物公司

美国石灰和矿物公司 (USLM) 第二季度的石灰和石灰石收入有所增长，销量和价格均有所增长。

根据USLM的数据，第二季度石灰和石灰石收入增长了23.6%，达到7,370万美元。今年前六个月，石灰和石灰石收入跃升27.5%，达到1.402亿美元。

USLM表示，来自环境和石油和天然气服务客户的需求是销量增长的关键因素。

 

USLM

Lime and limestone revenues were up in the second quarter at United States Lime & Minerals (USLM), which experienced gains in both volumes and pricing.

According to USLM, lime and limestone revenues were up 23.6 percent in the second quarter to $73.7 million. For the first six months of the year, lime and limestone revenues jumped 27.5 percent to $140.2 million.

USLM says demand from environmental and oil and gas services customers were key contributors to volume increases.
