U.S. Concrete Reports Second Quarter 2008 Results

    HOUSTON, Aug. 6 /EMWNews/ -- U.S. Concrete, Inc. (Nasdaq:

RMIX) today reported net income from continuing operations of $3.3 million,

or $0.08 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared

to net income from continuing operations of $7.0 million, or $0.18 per

diluted share, in the second quarter of 2007. For the first six months of

2008 the Company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $(1.8)

million, or $(0.05) per share, compared to net income from continuing

operations of $1.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the first six

months of 2007.



    SECOND QUARTER 2008 RESULTS



    Revenues in the second quarter of 2008 decreased 1.7 % to $206.0

million, compared to $209.5 million in the second quarter of 2007,

reflecting lower sales volumes which were partially offset by higher

ready-mixed concrete average selling prices and revenue from acquired

businesses.



    The Company's ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products

revenues for the second quarter of 2008 were $193.0 million, a decline of

1.1% compared to the second quarter of 2007. Ready-mixed concrete sales

volume in the second quarter of 2008 was approximately 1.79 million cubic

yards, down 4.4% from 1.87 million cubic yards of ready-mixed concrete sold

in the second quarter of 2007. Excluding ready-mixed concrete volumes

attributable to the Company's acquired businesses, second quarter 2008

volumes were down approximately 5.3% from the second quarter of 2007. This

decline reflects the continued slowdown of construction activity in the

Company's markets, partially offset by the positive comparative impact of

adverse weather conditions in the Company's South Central Region in the

second quarter of 2007.



    The Company's average sales price per cubic yard of ready-mixed

concrete during the second quarter of 2008 was 2.9% higher, as compared to

the second quarter of 2007. On a sequential quarter basis, the Company's

average sales price per cubic yard of ready-mixed concrete decreased 1.9%

in the second quarter of 2008 from the first quarter of 2008, reflecting

pricing pressures in certain markets and the effect of removing certain

winterizing agents from the Company's selling prices.



    Revenues in the Company's precast concrete products segment were $17.4

million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $0.8

million, or 4.3%, from the corresponding period in 2007. On a

same-plant-sales basis, the Company's second quarter 2008 precast concrete

products revenues were down approximately 24.8% from the second quarter of

2007, a result of the continued downturn in residential construction in the

Company's northern California and Phoenix, Arizona markets.



    Adjusted EBITDA was $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2008,

compared to adjusted EBITDA of $26.6 million in the second quarter of 2007.

This decrease was primarily due to lower ready-mixed concrete volume,

higher aggregates cost, increased diesel fuel and higher selling, general

and administrative expense, partially offset by higher average ready-mixed

concrete sales prices and the effects of our cost control measures. The

Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing

operations plus the provision (benefit) for income taxes, net interest

expense, and noncash goodwill impairments, depreciation, depletion and

amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. For

reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and net debt (other non-

GAAP financial measures we use in this earnings release) to the most

directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the attached

"Additional Statistics" schedule.



    Commenting on the second quarter results, Michael W. Harlan, the

Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "While the decline

we experienced in same-store-sales volume in the quarter was not totally

unexpected, the pricing pressure for our products in most of our markets

was greater than anticipated. This, combined with increasing aggregate

costs and fuel prices, resulted in a decline in our raw material spread as

a percent of revenue and our margins on a comparative basis. To combat this

trend, we are aggressively managing our raw material input costs. These

general market conditions are expected to continue until concrete demand

begins to improve."



    The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses were $17.6

million for the second quarter of 2008, compared to $15.9 million for the

second quarter of 2007. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and

administrative expenses were 8.6% in the second quarter of 2008, as

compared to 7.7% in the second quarter of 2007. Selling, general and

administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2008 were higher than in

the second quarter of 2007, primarily due to incentive compensation

accruals and higher professional costs.



    Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the second quarter

of 2008 was down $0.3 million to $7.0 million, as compared to $7.3 million

for the second quarter of 2007, primarily due to reduced capital

expenditures.



    Interest expense, net, for the second quarter of 2008 was down

approximately $0.5 million to $6.7 million, compared to $7.2 million for

the second quarter of 2007, primarily due to lower borrowings under the

Company's senior secured credit facility.



    Other income, net, decreased $1.5 million for the quarter ended June

30, 2008, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year and was

primarily attributable to a contractual settlement gain recorded in 2007

with a former owner of an acquired business.



    Minority interest for the second quarter of 2008 was $(0.8) million and

reflects the net loss allocable to the Company's 40% partner in the

Company's Michigan joint venture.



    The Company's provision for income taxes from continuing operations in

the second quarter of 2008 of $2.2 million varied from the normally

expected income tax rate due to state income tax expenses and income tax

contingency accruals. The Company expects its full-year 2008 effective

income tax rate to be between 40.0% and 43.0%, depending on the full-year

geographic mix of earnings, including the impact of additional accruals for

income tax contingencies.



    The Company's net cash provided by operations for the second quarter of

2008 was $5.0 million, compared to net cash used by operations of $1.4

million in the second quarter of 2007. Cash flow from operations in the

second quarter of 2008 improved compared to the second quarter of 2007,

primarily due to lower working capital requirements and lower income tax

payments. The Company's free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by

operations, less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment,

net of disposals) for the second quarter of 2008 was $1.2 million, compared

to negative $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2007. Capital

expenditures net of disposal proceeds were down approximately $0.6 million

to $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2008, as compared to $4.5 million

in the second quarter of 2007.



    The Company's net debt at June 30, 2008 was $292.9 million, up $13.7

million from March 31, 2008. The sequential quarterly increase in the

Company's net debt was primarily related to its recent acquisition of

certain west Texas operations. Net debt at June 30, 2008 was comprised of

total debt of $302.1 million, less cash and cash equivalents of $9.2

million.



    Robert D. Hardy, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

of U.S. Concrete, stated, "Our liquidity and financial condition remained

strong during the second quarter. As of June 30, 2008, we had approximately

$97 million of liquidity available, keeping us well positioned for future

operating conditions. Our free cash flow improved substantially this

quarter compared to the second quarter of last year, and based on our

current outlook, we expect to generate positive free cash flow in the

second half of 2008."



    YEAR-TO-DATE 2008 RESULTS



    Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased slightly to

$368.2 million, compared to revenues of $367.0 million for the first six

months of 2007.



    The Company's ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products

revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $341.8 million, an

increase of 1.1% compared to the first half of 2007. The Company's

ready-mixed concrete sales volume for the first half of 2008 was

approximately 3.16 million cubic yards, down 3.2% from approximately 3.26

million cubic yards of ready-mixed concrete sold during the first half of

2007.



    Excluding ready-mixed concrete volumes attributable to the Company's

acquired businesses, first half 2008 volumes were down approximately 5.6%

on a same-plant-sales basis from the first half of 2007. This decline in

volume reflects the continued slowdown in construction activity in many of

the Company's markets.



    The Company's average sales price per cubic yard of ready-mixed

concrete increased approximately 4.0% during the first half of 2008, as

compared to the first half of 2007.



    Revenues in the Company's precast concrete products segment were $33.9

million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $2.0 million,

or 5.7%, from the corresponding period in 2007. On a same-plant-sales

basis, the Company's first half of 2008 precast concrete products revenues

were down approximately 28.6% from the first half of 2007, primarily

resulting from the continued downturn in residential construction in the

Company's northern California and Phoenix, Arizona markets.



    Adjusted EBITDA was $24.6 million, or 6.7% of revenues, in the first

half of 2008, as compared with $31.4 million, or 8.6% of revenues, in the

first half of 2007. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA in the first half of

2008, as compared to the first half of 2007, was primarily due to gross

profit declines related to lower ready-mixed concrete sales volumes, lower

precast products margins, increased aggregates costs, higher diesel fuel

costs and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.



    The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses were $35.8

million in the first half of 2008, compared to $32.6 million in the first

half of 2007. This increase was primarily due to higher incentive

compensation accruals and professional fees. As a percentage of revenues,

selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 8.9% in the

first half of 2007 to 9.7% in the first half of 2008.



    Other income, net, decreased $1.3 million for the six months ended June

30, 2008, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, and

was primarily attributable to a contractual settlement recorded in 2007

with a former owner of an acquired business.



    Minority interest of $(2.8) million recorded in the six months ended

June 30, 2008 related to the allocable share of net loss from our Michigan

joint venture to our minority partner. The Michigan joint venture was

formed on April 1, 2007 and, accordingly, no minority interest was recorded

for the first three months of 2007.



    The Company's net cash provided by operations for the first half of

2008 was $9.5 million, compared to cash used by operations of $2.4 million

for the first half of 2007. The Company's free cash flow for the first half

of 2008 was $0.1 million, as compared to negative $14.3 million for the

first half of 2007, reflecting lower capital expenditures, lower working

capital requirements and reduced income tax payments.



    OUTLOOK



    The statements in the following paragraphs are based on current

expectations related to the Company's existing operations. These statements

are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. These

statements do not include the potential effects of any acquisitions or

divestitures, or share or bond repurchases, that may be completed after the

date of this press release.



    Based on current information, the Company expects third quarter 2008

revenues to be in the range of $210 million to $225 million, adjusted

EBITDA to be in the range of $17 million to $23 million, and earnings per

diluted share to be in the range of $0.07 to $0.13.



    Commenting on the Company's outlook, Mr. Harlan stated, "As we stated

last quarter, we are facing a challenging environment for volumes going

forward, and we expect to see continued quarterly decreases in demand on a

year-over- year basis. Residential construction remains depressed in all of

our markets and we are facing volume declines in the commercial sector as

well. We have implemented cost control measures, including capital spending

controls, throughout the Company and are prepared to take further steps

depending on the level of construction activity as we progress throughout

the year and into 2009. Our primary focus for the near term is maximizing

cash flow and maintaining liquidity and financial flexibility."

    USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES



    This press release uses the non-GAAP financial measures "adjusted

EBITDA," "free cash flow" and "net debt." The Company has included adjusted

EBITDA in this press release because it is widely used by investors for

valuation and comparing the Company's financial performance with the

performance of other building material companies. The Company also uses

adjusted EBITDA to monitor and compare the financial performance of its

operations. Adjusted EBITDA does not give effect to the cash the Company

must use to service its debt or pay its income taxes, and thus does not

reflect the funds actually available for capital expenditures. In addition,

the Company's presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to

similarly titled measures other companies report. The Company considers

free cash flow to be an important indicator of its ability to service debt

and generate cash for acquisitions and other strategic investments. The

Company believes that net debt is useful to investors as a measure of its

financial position. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in

addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported

operating results or cash flow from operations or any other measure of

performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. See the attached

"Additional Statistics" for reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP

measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures for the three and

six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

    This press release contains various forward-looking statements and

information that are based on management's belief, as well as assumptions

made by and information currently available to management. These

forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release.

The Company disclaims any obligation to update these statements and

cautions you not to rely unduly on them. Forward-looking information

full-year 2008 effective income tax rate; the adequacy of the Company's

liquidity for future operating conditions; the expected generation of

positive cash flow in the second half of 2008; the Company's expected

revenues, adjusted EBITDA and earnings per diluted share for the third

quarter of 2008; continued quarterly decreases in demand for the Company's

products on a year-over-year basis; expectations based on general economic

conditions; and expectations regarding controls on costs, capital spending

and cash flow and liquidity. Although U.S. Concrete believes that the

expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable,

it can give no assurance that those expectations will prove to have been

correct. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and

markets in which U.S. Concrete operates. Should one or more of these risks

materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual

results or outcomes may vary materially from those expected. These risks,

as well as others, are discussed in greater detail in U.S. Concrete's

filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including U.S.

Concrete's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007

and the Company's subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ADDITIONAL STATISTICS (In thousands, unless otherwise noted) (Unaudited) We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). However, our management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios, which our management uses in managing our business, may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. See the table below for (1) presentations of our adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, Net Debt and Free Cash Flow for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007 and (2) corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007. We have also included in the table below certain Ready-Mixed Concrete Statistics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007. We define adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss) from continuing operations, plus the provision (benefit) for income taxes, net interest expense and noncash goodwill impairments, depreciation, depletion and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as the amount determined by dividing adjusted EBITDA by total sales. We have included adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin in the accompanying tables because they are widely used by investors for valuation and comparing our financial performance with the performance of other building material companies. We also use adjusted EBITDA to monitor and compare the financial performance of our operations. Adjusted EBITDA does not give effect to the cash we must use to service our debt or pay our income taxes and thus does not reflect the funds actually available for capital expenditures. In addition, our presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies report. We define Free Cash Flow as cash provided by (used in) operations less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, net of disposals. We consider Free Cash Flow to be an important indicator of our ability to service our debt and generate cash for acquisitions and other strategic investments. We define Net Debt as total debt, including current maturities and capital lease obligations, minus cash and cash equivalents.
