Cemex sells Fairborn cement plant to Eagle Materials

13 September 2016

US: Cemex has signed a definitive agreement for the sale of its 1Mt/yr Fairborn, Ohio cement plant, a cement terminal in Columbus, Ohio and a cement bagging operation to Eagle Materials for US$400m. Cemex will use the proceeds of the sale to reduce its debts and for general corporate purposes. The closing of the deal is subject to regulatory approval. The divestiture is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2016.

"Our strategy has been to grow the cement side of our business. The Fairborn plant extends our US cement system and connects but does not overlap with the market reach of our existing plants. This high-quality cement plant is a compelling fit with our strategic objectives and our criteria for new investment. These assets will allow us to participate more fully in the US construction industry and further positions the company in target US heartland growth markets," said Dave Powers, Eagle Materials President and Chief Executive Officer.

27 January 2016

US: Steve Rowley will retire as president and CEO of Eagle Materials on 31 March 2016. Dave Powers, Executive Vice President for Gypsum Wallboard at Eagle since 2005, will succeed Rowley as President and CEO. He will also be appointed to the Board of Directors.

Health reasons were cited for Rowley's retirement.

Eagle Materials reports 16% revenue growth in its fiscal second quarter of 2016

27 October 2015

US: Eagle Materials has reported its financial results for the second quarter of its 2016 fiscal year, which ended on 30 September 2015. Its revenue grew by 16% year-on-year to US$329m and its net earnings fell by 41% to US$29.8m, reduced by US$26.2m post-tax due to non-routine items related to the oil and gas proppants segment. Eagle Materials' adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) grew by 14% to US$110m.

Eagle's construction products and building materials businesses continued to perform well during the second quarter of 2016, with the Cement and Paperboard businesses reporting record quarterly operating earnings and the wallboard, concrete and aggregates businesses reporting year-on-year improvements. Demand for building materials and construction products remains strong in each of its regional markets. Cash flow from operations improved by 12% and was used to fund the Skyway acquisition, make capital improvements, pay dividends, reduce debt and repurchase shares.

The decline in oil prices during the summer adversely impacted US oil and gas drilling activity, leading to further reductions in demand and pricing for proppants. As a result, it recorded impairments to several intangible assets originally booked in connection with its acquisition of CRS Proppants and revalued downward certain raw sand inventory values. The impairments and inventory revaluation charges totalled approximately US$37.8m pre-tax.

Operating earnings from Cement for the second quarter of 2016 were a record US$48.6m, some 26% higher than the same quarter in its 2015 fiscal year. The earnings increase was driven by an 8% increase in average net cement sales prices and record quarterly cement sales volumes. Cement revenues for the second quarter, including joint venture and intersegment revenues, grew by 13% to US$165m. Cement sales volumes grew by 1% to a record 1.5Mt.
