CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “report”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “trends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans, expectations or intentions. All statements made relating to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the effect of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or our objectives and plans will be realized. Important factors could affect our results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 (the “Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), any factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this report, and the following:
| • | | our substantial current level of indebtedness; |
| • | | our dependence on the construction industry and the strength of the local economies in which we operate; |
| • | | our ability to execute on our acquisition strategy, successfully integrate acquisitions with our existing operations and retain key employees of such acquired businesses; |
| • | | the cyclical nature of our business; |
| • | | declines in public infrastructure construction and reductions in governmental funding, including the funding by transportation authorities and other state agencies; |
| • | | conditions in the credit markets; |
| • | | our ability to accurately estimate the overall risks, requirements or costs when we bid on or negotiate contracts that are ultimately awarded to us; |
| • | | risks related to weather and seasonality; |
| • | | competition within our local markets; |
| • | | our dependence on securing and permitting aggregate reserves in strategically located areas; |
| • | | risks associated with our capital-intensive business; |
| • | | any failure to meet schedule or performance requirements of our contracts; |
| • | | changes in environmental, health, safety and climate change laws or governmental requirements or policies concerning zoning and land use; |
| • | | our dependence on senior management and inability to attract and retain qualified management personnel; |
| • | | special hazards related to our operations that may cause personal injury or property damage not covered by insurance; |
| • | | material costs and losses as a result of claims that our products do not meet regulatory requirements or contractual specifications; |
| • | | cancellation of significant contracts or our disqualification from bidding for new contracts; |
| • | | our reliance on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements due to our status as an “emerging growth company”; |
| • | | interruptions in our information technology systems and infrastructure; and |
| • | | other factors as described in the Form 10-K. |
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
Any forward-looking statement that we make speaks only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

SUMMIT MATERIALS, LLC
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Tables in thousands)
1. | SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Summit Materials, LLC (“Summit Materials”) is a vertically integrated heavy-side building materials company. Across its subsidiaries, it is engaged in the production and sale of aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete, hot-mix asphalt and concrete products. Summit Materials, through its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), owns and operates quarries, sand and gravel pits, a cement plant, cement distribution terminals, ready–mixed concrete plants, asphalt plants and landfill sites. It is also engaged in road paving and related construction services. The Company is organized by geographic region and has three operating segments, which are also its reporting segments: the Central; West; and East regions.
Summit Materials is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Summit Materials Holdings L.P., whose major indirect owners are certain investment funds affiliated with Blackstone Capital Partners V L.P. (“BCP”) and Silverhawk Summit, L.P.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Summit Materials and its wholly and non-wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation— These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 28, 2013. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in those consolidated financial statements. Management believes that these consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 29, 2014 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013.
The Company’s fiscal quarters are based on a 4-4-5 schedule; each quarter is composed of 13 weeks and ends on a Saturday. The Company’s first quarter ended on March 29 and March 30 in 2014 and 2013, respectively. In 2013, Continental Cement Company, L.L.C. (“Continental Cement”), an indirect majority owned subsidiary of Summit Materials, changed its fiscal year to be consistent with the Company’s fiscal year. Prior to fiscal 2013, Continental Cement’s fiscal year was based on the calendar year with quarter-end dates of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. The effect of this change to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity is immaterial.
Substantially all of the Company’s products and services are produced, consumed and performed outdoors, primarily in the spring, summer and fall. Seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions can affect the production and sales volumes of its products and delivery of its services. Therefore, the financial results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Furthermore, the Company’s sales and earnings are sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions and to cyclical changes in construction spending, among other factors.
Use of Estimates— Preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement obligations and asset retirement obligations. Estimates also include revenue earned on contracts and costs to complete contracts; most of the Company’s construction work is performed under fixed unit-price contracts with state and local governmental entities. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results can differ significantly from estimates made. Changes in estimates, including those resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment, are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements during the period in which the change in estimate occurs.
Business and Credit Concentrations— The operations of the Company are conducted primarily across 16 states, with the most significant revenue generated in Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri. The Company’s accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from customers within these areas. Collection of these accounts is, therefore, dependent on the economic conditions in the aforementioned states, as well as specific situations affecting individual customers. However, credit granted within the Company’s trade areas has been granted to many customers, and management does not believe that any significant concentrations of credit exist with respect to individual customers or groups of customers. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue in the three month periods ended March 29, 2014 or March 30, 2013.

Fair Value Measurements— Certain acquisitions made by the Company require the payment of contingent amounts of purchase consideration. These payments are contingent on specified operating results being achieved in periods subsequent to the acquisition and will not be made if earn-out thresholds are not achieved. Contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value each reporting period, and any adjustments to fair value are recognized in earnings in the period identified. As of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, contingent consideration obligations of $5.5 million and $1.9 million were included in the non-current portion of acquisition-related liabilities and $0.5 million included in the current portion of acquisition related liabilities as of March 29, 2014. The $4.1 million increase in contingent consideration obligations relates to the January 17, 2014 acquisition of Alleyton Resource Corporation, Colorado Gulf, LP and certain assets of Barten Shepard Investments, LP, (collectively, “Alleyton”).
The fair value of the contingent consideration obligations approximated their carrying value of $6.4 million and $1.9 million as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively. The fair values are based on unobservable, or Level 3, inputs, including projected probability-weighted cash payments and an 11.0% discount rate, which reflects a market discount rate. Changes in fair value may occur as a result of a change in actual or projected cash payments, the probability weightings applied by the Company to projected payments or a change in the discount rate. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation could result in a lower, or higher, fair value measurement. There were no material valuation adjustments to contingent consideration obligations in the three month periods ended March 29, 2014 or March 30, 2013.
Financial Instruments— The Company’s financial instruments include certain acquisition-related liabilities (deferred consideration and noncompete obligations) and debt. The fair value of the deferred consideration and noncompete obligations approximate their carrying value of $42.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively, as of March 29, 2014, and $28.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively, as of December 28, 2013. The $17.9 million increase in the deferred consideration and noncompete obligations primarily relate to the January 17, 2014 acquisition of Alleyton. The fair value was determined based on unobservable, or Level 3 inputs, including the cash payment terms in the purchase agreements and a discount rate reflecting the Company’s credit risk.
The fair value of long-term debt approximated $996.4 million and $696.5 million as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $944.2 million and $663.0 million, respectively. Fair value was determined based on observable, or Level 2 inputs, such as interest rates, bond yields and quoted prices in inactive markets.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest— The Company owns all of the outstanding Class A Units of Continental Cement, which represent a 69.7% economic interest. Continental Cement’s Class B Units, which represent a 30.3% economic interest, are subordinate to the Class A Units. The Class B Units can be put to Continental Cement in the future based on the passage of time, which can be accelerated upon the occurrence of a contingent event; therefore, the noncontrolling interest of the Class B unit holders is classified in temporary equity. The redemption value was based upon the estimated fair value of Continental Cement at the date of acquisition and the Company has elected to accrete changes in the redemption value of the noncontrolling interest over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest anticipated redemption date, which is currently May 2016. The accretion is recognized through an adjustment to accumulated deficit. The redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013 approximated its carrying value.
2014 Acquisitions
West region
| • | | On January 17, 2014, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of Alleyton Resource Corporation, Colorado Gulf, LP and certain assets of Barten Shepard Investments, LP, an aggregates and ready-mixed concrete business in Houston, Texas. The Alleyton acquisition was funded with a portion of the proceeds from the January 17, 2014 issue and sale of $260.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.5% senior notes due 2020. The Alleyton acquisition expands our growing presence in the Texas market. The purchase price allocation for the Alleyton acquisition has not been finalized due to the recent timing of the acquisition. |
2013 Acquisitions
Central region
| • | | On April 1, 2013, the Company acquired certain aggregates, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt assets of Lafarge North America, Inc. in and around Wichita, Kansas, with borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. |

West region
| • | | On April 1, 2013, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of Westroc, LLC, an aggregates and ready-mixed concrete provider near Salt Lake City, Utah, with borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. |
The operating results of the acquired businesses have been included in the Company’s results of operations since the respective dates of the acquisitions. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition-date fair value. The goodwill recognized in connection with the Company’s acquisitions is primarily attributable to the expected profitability, assembled workforces and operational infrastructure of the acquired businesses and the synergies expected to result after integration of those acquired businesses. The 2014 acquisition and the 2013 acquisitions were not material individually or in the aggregate.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by reportable segment, from December 28, 2013 to March 29, 2014 are summarized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Central | | | West | | | Total | |
Balance, December 28, 2013 | | $ | 72,789 | | | $ | 54,249 | | | $ | 127,038 | |
Acquisitions | | | — | | | | 144,910 | | | | 144,910 | |

Balance, March 29, 2014 | | $ | 72,789 | | | $ | 199,159 | | | $ | 271,948 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
4. | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS |
The Company’s discontinued operations include certain concrete paving operations. The concrete paving operations were wound down in the second quarter of 2013 and the sale of the related assets was completed in the three months ended March 29, 2014. Prior to recognition as discontinued operations, this business was included in the East region’s operations.
Debt and interest expense were not allocated to discontinued operations since there was no debt specifically attributable to the operations. The concrete paving operations were organized within a limited liability company, which passes its tax attributes for federal and state tax purposes to its parent company. Revenue and loss before income tax expense included in discontinued operations for the three month periods ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013 are summarized below:
| | | | | | | | |

Senior Notes—Summit Materials and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Summit Materials Finance Corp. (“Finance Corp.” and, together with Summit Materials, the “Issuers”), are co-issuers of the 10.5% Senior Notes due January 31, 2020 (the “Senior Notes”) that have been issued under an indenture dated as of January 30, 2012 (as amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”). The Senior Notes bear interest at 10.5% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears. The Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, the ability of Summit Materials and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make certain investments, sell or transfer certain assets, create liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of Summit Materials’ assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The Indenture also contains customary events of default.
The Issuers issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes (the “Existing Notes”) in January 2012. On January 17, 2014, the Issuers issued an additional $260.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes (the “Additional Notes”), receiving proceeds of $282.8 million, before payment of fees and expenses and including a $22.8 million premium. The proceeds from the sale of the Additional Notes were used for the purchase of Alleyton, to make payments on the Company’s Revolver (discussed and defined below) and for general corporate purposes. The Additional Notes are treated as a single series with the Existing Notes and have substantially the same terms as those of the Existing Notes. The Additional Notes and the Existing Notes vote as one class under the Indenture.
Credit Facility— The Company has a senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) providing for term loans in an aggregate amount of $422.0 million (the “Term Debt”) and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $150.0 million (the “Revolver”). The Company is required to make principal repayments of 0.25% of borrowings under the Term Debt on the last business day of each March, June, September and December. The current outstanding principal amount of Term Debt and applicable interest rate reflect the terms of a repricing consummated by the Company in February 2013, which included additional borrowings of $25.0 million, an interest rate reduction of 1.0% and a deferral of the March 2013 principal payment. The unpaid principal balance of Term Debt is due in full on the maturity date, which is January 30, 2019. On January 16, 2014, the Credit Facility was amended to allow for the issuance of the Additional Notes.
The Revolver matures on January 30, 2017 and bears interest per annum equal to an applicable margin of 3.5% plus, at the Company’s option, either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) the British Bankers Association London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.00% or (ii) a British Bankers Association LIBOR rate determined by reference to Reuters prior to the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. As of March 29, 2014, the borrowing capacity under the Revolver was $131.7 million, which is net of $18.3 million of outstanding letters of credit. The outstanding letters of credit are renewed annually and support required bonding on construction projects and the Company’s insurance liabilities.
The Company must adhere to certain financial covenants related to its borrowings under the Credit Facility and interest leverage ratios, as defined in the Credit Facility. The consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, reported each quarter, should be no greater than 4.75:1.0 from April 1, 2012 through June 30, 2014; 4.50:1.0 from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015, and 4.25:1.0 thereafter. The interest coverage ratio must be at least 1.70:1.0 from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014 and 1.85:1.0 thereafter.
As of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants applicable to the Senior Notes and the Credit Facility. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary companies and its non wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental Cement, are named as issuers or guarantors, as applicable, of the Senior Notes and the Credit Facility. In addition, the Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for the Credit Facility.
13
Accrued interest expense on long-term debt as of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013 was $13.8 million and $17.1 million, respectively. Interest expense related to the debt totaled $17.2 million and $11.8 million for the three month periods ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively. As of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, $16.9 million and $11.5 million, respectively, of deferred financing fees were being amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.
Summit Materials is a limited liability company and passes its tax attributes for federal and state tax purposes to its parent company and is generally not subject to federal or state income tax. However, certain subsidiary entities file federal and state income tax returns due to their status as C corporations. The provision for income taxes is composed of federal, state and local income taxes for the subsidiary entities that have C corporation status.
The effective income tax rate for these entities differs from the statutory federal rate primarily due to (1) depletion expense and domestic production activities deduction, which are allowed as deductions for tax purposes but not recorded under GAAP, (2) state income taxes and the effect of graduated tax rates and (3) certain non-recurring items, such as differences in the treatment of transaction costs, which are often not deductible for tax purposes.
As of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the Company has not recognized any liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company records interest and penalties as a component of the income tax provision. No material interest or penalties were recognized in income tax expense for the three month periods ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013.
9. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
The Company is party to certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business activities. Accruals are recorded when the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated in accordance with applicable accounting requirements. While the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects that the ultimate resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigation as of March 29, 2014 will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity. The Company’s policy is to record legal fees as incurred.
Litigation and Claims— The Company is obligated under an indemnification agreement entered into with the sellers of Harper Contracting, Inc., Harper Sand and Gravel, Inc., Harper Ready Mix Company, Inc. and Harper Investments, Inc. (collectively, “Harper”) for the sellers’ ownership interests in a joint venture agreement. The Company has the rights to any benefits under the joint venture as well as the assumption of any obligations, but does not own equity interests in the joint venture. The joint venture has incurred significant losses on a highway project in Utah, which have resulted in requests for funding from the joint venture partners and, ultimately, from the Company. Through March 29, 2014, the Company has funded $8.8 million, of which $4.0 million was funded in 2012 and $4.8 million was funded in 2011. As of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, an accrual of $4.3 million was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities for this matter.
During the course of business, there may be revisions to project costs and conditions that can give rise to change orders on construction contracts. Revisions can also result in claims made against a customer or subcontractor to recover project variances that have not been satisfactorily addressed through change orders with a customer. As of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, unapproved change orders and claims totaled $3.2 million ($0.5 million in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and $2.7 million in other assets).
Environmental Remediation— The Company’s mining operations, cement production and waste processing are subject to and affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, health and safety and other regulatory matters. These operations require environmental operating permits, which are subject to modification, renewal and revocation. Management regularly monitors and reviews its operations, procedures and policies for compliance with these laws and regulations. Despite these compliance efforts, risk of environmental liability is inherent in the operation of the Company’s business, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses, and there can be no assurance that environmental liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity in the future.
Other— In February 2011, the Company incurred a property loss related to a sunken barge with cement product aboard. During the three months ended March 30, 2013, the Company recorded a $1.8 million charge for costs to remove the barge from the waterway. As of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the Company had $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, included in accrued expenses as management’s best estimate of the remaining costs to remove the barge.
14
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various firm purchase commitments with terms generally less than one year for certain raw materials and services. Management does not expect any significant changes in the market value of these goods and services during the commitment period that would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

The Company has determined that it has three operating segments, which are its reportable segments: the Central; West; and East regions. These segments are consistent with the Company’s management reporting structure. The operating results of each segment are regularly reviewed and evaluated by the Chief Executive Officer, who is the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company’s segments and allocates resources to them based on several factors, including a measurement of segment profit, which is computed as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion. In addition, certain items such as management fees are excluded from the calculation of segment profit.
Each region’s operations consist of various activities related to the production, distribution and sale of building materials and the provision of construction services. Assets employed by segment include assets directly identified with those operations. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash, property, plant and equipment for corporate operations and other assets not directly identifiable with a reportable business segment. The accounting policies applicable to each segment are consistent with those used in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The following tables display selected financial data for the Company’s reportable segments:

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to assist in understanding and assessing the trends and significant changes in our results of operations and financial condition. Historical results may not be indicative of future performance. Our forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events, are based on assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these statements. Factors that may cause differences between actual results and those contemplated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K and any factors discussed in the sections entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” of this report. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated interim financial statements and the related notes and other information included in this report.
Overview
We are a leading, vertically-integrated, geographically-diverse, heavy-side building materials company. We supply aggregates, cement and related downstream products such as ready-mixed concrete, asphalt paving mix, concrete products and paving and related construction services for a variety of end uses in the U.S. construction industry, including private residential and nonresidential construction, as well as public infrastructure projects. We believe we are a top 15 supplier of aggregates, a top 25 producer of cement and a major producer of ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix in the United States by volume.
We were formed in September 2008. Since July 2009, $798.1 million of funding commitments have been made to our parent company. We have grown rapidly as a result of our disciplined acquisition strategy, utilizing approximately $467.5 million of deployed equity. Our nine operating companies make up our three distinct operating segments – Central, West and East regions – spanning 16 states and 24 metropolitan areas. We believe each of our operating companies has a top three market share position in its local market area and an extensive operating history, averaging over 35 years. Our highly experienced management team, led by 30-year industry veteran, CEO, Tom Hill has successfully enhanced the operations of acquired companies by focusing on scale advantages, cost efficiencies and pricing discipline to improve profitability and cash flow.
As of March 29, 2014, we had 1.3 billion tons and 0.4 billion tons of proven and probable aggregates reserves serving our aggregates and cement businesses, respectively, and operated over 200 sites and plants, to which we believe we have adequate road, barge and/or railroad access. From time to time, in connection with certain acquisitions, we engage a third party engineering firm to perform an aggregates reserves assessments, but we do not perform annual reserve audits.
Of the 16 states in which we operate, we currently maintain facilities in 14 states across our three geographic regions. The map below illustrates our geographic footprint:

25
Our revenue is derived from multiple end-use markets including private residential and nonresidential construction, as well as public infrastructure construction. Residential and nonresidential construction consists of new construction and repair and remodel markets, which were significantly affected by the downturn in the overall economy and the construction industry, in particular. We believe exposure to multiple geographic markets affords us greater stability through economic cycles and positions us to capitalize on upside opportunities as the residential and nonresidential construction recovery occurs. Public infrastructure construction includes spending by federal, state and local governments for roads, highways, bridges, airports and other infrastructure projects. Public infrastructure projects are a historically stable portion of state and federal budgets. Our acquisitions to date have been focused in states with constitutionally-protected transportation funding sources, which we believe serves to limit our exposure to state and local budgetary uncertainties.
Business Trends and Conditions
The U.S. heavy-side building materials industry is composed of four primary sectors: (i) aggregates; (ii) cement; (iii) ready-mixed concrete; and (iv) asphalt paving mix, one or more of which is widely used in most forms of construction activity. Participants in these sectors typically range from small, privately-held companies focused on a single product or market to multinational companies that offer a wide array of building materials and services across several markets. Markets are defined in part by the distance materials can be transported efficiently, resulting in predominantly local or regional operations.
Although the construction sector in the local economies in which we operate have begun to show signs of recovery, we could still be affected by any economic stagnation or decline, which could vary by local region and market. Our sales and earnings are sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions and particularly to cyclical changes in construction spending, especially in the private sector. From a macroeconomic view, we see positive indicators for the construction sector, including upward trends in housing starts, construction employment and highway obligations. All of these factors should result in increased construction activity in the private sector, which could lead to increased public infrastructure spending in the relatively near future as compared to the recently preceding years.
Transportation infrastructure projects, driven by both federal and state funding programs, represent a significant share of the U.S. heavy-side building materials market. Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (“MAP-21”) is a27-month, approximately $105.0 billion transportation funding program that provided for $40.4 billion and $41.0 billion in highway infrastructure investments in fiscal years 2013 and 2014, respectively. The spending levels are consistent with the preceding federal transportation funding program. In addition to federal funding, highway construction and maintenance funding is also available through state, county and local agencies. Our five largest states by revenue (Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri represented approximately 45%, 19%, 5%, 11% and 10%, respectively, of our total revenue for the three months ended March 29, 2014) each have funds whose revenue sources are constitutionally protected and may only be spent on transportation projects:
| • | | Texas Department of Transportation’s budget from 2014 to 2016 is $25.3 billion |
| • | | Kansas has a 10-year $8.2 billion highway bill that was passed in May 2010 |
| • | | Kentucky’s highway program has anticipated 2013-2018 funding of $5.7 billion |
| • | | Utah’s transportation investment fund has $3.5 billion committed through 2018 |
| • | | Missouri has an estimated $0.7 billion in annual construction funding committed to essential road and bridge programs through 2017 |
Currently, there is uncertainty as to what will succeed MAP-21, which expires in September 2014. A new highway bill may be passed by the end of 2014, which would require continuing resolutions between September 2014 and the date a new bill is passed. We are not expecting a significant change in funding levels through the continuing resolutions or a new bill. However, given the nation’s aging infrastructure and considering longstanding historical spending trends, management expects U.S. infrastructure investment to grow over the long-term. Management believes that the Company is well-positioned to capitalize on any such increase in investment.
Within many of our markets, the state and local governments have taken actions to maintain or grow highway funding during a time of uncertainty with respect to federal funding. The Texas legislature recently passed the largest two-year budget in the history of the Texas Department of Transportation (with growth in both new construction and maintenance). In addition, increased energy activity in parts of Texas has driven an increase in private construction demand, which we expect to continue. In particular, Austin and Houston, Texas have seen rapid residential demand growth as increased jobs have drawn new residents. Funding for public infrastructure projects in Kansas are partially funded through increases in heavy truck registrations, dedicated sales tax and bonding, which has provided reliable funding for public infrastructure in the state. We believe that public infrastructure spending in Kentucky, which comprises the majority of our revenue in the state, will remain consistent in the upcoming years. We expect primarily maintenance-related public demand in Utah and Missouri, both of which have recently completed large spending programs.
26
Backlog
Our construction services backlog represents our estimate of the revenue that will be realized under the portion of the construction contracts remaining to be performed. We generally include a project in our contract backlog at the time a contract is awarded and funding is in place. At the election of the customer, substantially all of the contracts in our backlog are subject to cancellation or modification in accordance with applicable contract terms. However, we have not been materially adversely affected by contract cancellations or modifications in the past.
As a vertically-integrated business, during the three months ended March 29, 2014, approximately 26% of our aggregates production was further processed and sold as a downstream product, such as ready-mixed concrete or asphalt paving mix, or used in our construction services business and approximately 83% of the asphalt paving mix we sold was installed by our own paving crews. Our products sold externally are generally picked up or delivered upon receipt of orders or requests from customers. Accordingly, the backlog associated with external product sales is converted into revenue within a relatively short period of time. Inventory for products is generally maintained in sufficient quantities to meet rapid delivery requirements of customers. A quarterly increase or decrease of backlog does not necessarily correspond with an improvement or deterioration of our business, as many of our construction services are awarded and completed within one year and, therefore, may not be reflected in our beginning or year-end contract backlog. Our backlog includes only those products and projects for which we have obtained a purchase order or a signed contract with the customer. The following table sets forth, by product, our backlog as of the indicated dates:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 29, | | | March 30, | |
(in thousands) | | 2014 | | | 2013 | |
Aggregate (in tons) | | | 7,117 | | | | 5,794 | |
Asphalt (in tons) | | | 2,796 | | | | 2,764 | |
Ready-mixed concrete (in cubic yards) | | | 184 | | | | 168 | |
Construction services(1) | | $ | 422,523 | | | $ | 393,559 | |
| | | | |
|
(1) The dollar value of the construction services backlog includes the value of the aggregate and asphalt tons and ready-mixed concrete cubic yards in backlog that are expected to be used internally to perform the construction services. |
In addition to being subject to cyclical changes in the economy, our business is seasonal in nature. Almost all of our products are produced and consumed outdoors. Severe weather, seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions can significantly affect the production and sales volumes of our products. Typically, the highest sales and earnings are in the second and third quarters, and the lowest are in the first and fourth quarters. Winter weather months are generally periods of lower sales as we, and our customers, normally cannot cost-effectively mobilize and demobilize equipment and manpower under adverse weather conditions. Periods of heavy rainfall also adversely affect our work patterns and demand for our products. Our working capital may vary greatly during peak periods, but generally returns to average levels as our operating cycle is completed each fiscal year.
We are subject to commodity price risk with respect to price changes in energy, including fossil fuels and electricity for aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix production, liquid asphalt, natural gas for hot mix asphalt production and diesel fuel for distribution vehicles and production related mobile equipment. Liquid asphalt escalator provisions in most of our private and commercial contracts limit our exposure to price fluctuations in this commodity. We often obtain similar escalators on public infrastructure contracts, other than those in Texas. In addition, we enter into various firm purchase commitments, with terms generally less than one year, for certain raw materials, including commodities, in the ordinary course of business. As a result of the contract escalation clauses and effective use of the firm purchase commitments, commodity prices did not have a material effect on our results of operations in the three months ended March 29, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 30, 2013.
Financial Highlights
The principal factors in evaluating our financial condition and operating results for the three months ended March 29, 2014 are:
| • | | Revenue increased $44.3 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013, as a result of pricing and volume increases across our product lines, which includes volume contributions from our acquisitions. |
| • | | Our operating earnings improved $6.8 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014 from the comparable period in 2013. This improvement in earnings was largely driven by price increases in aggregates, cement and asphalt and volume increases in aggregates, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt. |
| • | | In January 2014, we increased our long-term debt by $260.0 million with the issuance of additional Senior Notes at 10.5% due January 31, 2020. |
27
Acquisitions
On January 17, 2014, we acquired certain aggregates and ready-mixed concrete assets of Alleyton in Houston, Texas, which expands our presence in the Texas market.
On April 1, 2013, we acquired certain aggregates, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt assets of Lafarge in and around Wichita, Kansas, which expands our footprint in the Wichita market across our lines of business.
On April 1, 2013, we acquired the membership interests of Westroc in Utah. The Westroc acquisition expands our market coverage for aggregates and ready-mixed concrete in Utah.
Discontinued Operations
As part of our strategy to focus on our core business as a heavy-side building materials company, we have exited certain non-core businesses in recent years, including certain concrete paving operations, which were wound down in the second quarter of 2013. Prior to recognition as discontinued operations, this business was included in the Company’s East region’s operations.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of our results of operations is focused on the key financial measures we use to evaluate the performance of our business from both a consolidated and operating segment perspective. Operating income and margins are discussed in terms of changes in volume, pricing and mix of revenue source (i.e., type of product sales or service revenue). The majority of our service revenue is generated by contracts that extend across multiple reporting periods, for which we generally account using the percentage of completion method of accounting. Under this method, revenue is recognized as work progresses. Performance on service contracts refers to changes in contract earnings rates during the term of the contract based on revisions to estimates of profit at completion on individual contracts. These revisions result from increases or decreases to the estimated value of the contract and/or the estimated costs required to complete the contract. The following discussion of results of operations provides additional disclosure to the extent that a significant or unusual event causes a material change in the profitability of a contract or groups of contracts.
Operating income reflects our profit from continuing operations after taking into consideration cost of revenue, general and administrative expenses, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion and transaction costs. The components of cost of revenue generally increase ratably with revenue, as labor, transportation costs and subcontractor costs are recorded in cost of revenue. As a result of our revenue growth occurring primarily through acquisitions and strengthening of our infrastructure (finance, information technology, legal and human resources), our general and administrative costs and depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion have generally grown ratably with revenue. As volumes increase, we expect these costs, as a percentage of revenue, to decrease. Our transaction costs fluctuate with the number and size of acquisitions consummated each year. The table below includes revenue and operating loss by segment for the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
Our chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of our segments and allocates resources to them based on several factors including a measure we call segment profit, or Adjusted EBITDA by segment. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before loss from discontinued operations, income tax (benefit) expense, interest expense and depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion. Adjusted EBITDA is determined before considering the loss from discontinued operations as these amounts are not viewed by management as part of our core business when assessing the performance of our segments or allocation of resources. Accretion expense is recognized on our asset retirement obligations and reflects the time value of money. Given that accretion is similar in nature to interest expense, it is treated consistently with interest expense and is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
28
Adjusted EBITDA reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with our results determined in accordance with GAAP and the accompanying reconciliation to a GAAP financial measure included in the table below, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. However, it should not be construed as being more important than other comparable GAAP measures and must be considered in conjunction with the GAAP measures. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized; therefore, it may not be possible to compare such financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated interim financial statements in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
The tables below reconcile our net loss to Adjusted EBITDA and present Adjusted EBITDA by segment for the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013.

| | Three Months Ended | | | | |
| | March 29, | | | March 30, | | | | |
($ in thousands) | | 2014 | | | 2013 | | | Variance | |
Revenue | | $ | 151,091 | | | $ | 106,829 | | | | 41.4 | % |
Operating loss | | | (35,019 | ) | | | (41,860 | ) | | | (16.3 | )% |

Adjusted EBITDA | | $ | (15,469 | ) | | $ | (28,277 | ) | | | 45.3 | % |
Revenue in the three months ended March 29, 2014 increased $44.3 million, or 41.4%, due to improved volumes and pricing across our product lines, driven by the January 17, 2014 acquisition of Alleyton and the April 1, 2013 acquisitions of the Lafarge-Wichita assets and Westroc. Product revenue increased $35.8 million as a result of improved pricing and volume increases in aggregates, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix. Detail of consolidated percent changes in production volumes and pricing were as follows:
30
| | | | | | | | |
| | Percentage Change in | |
| | Volume | | | Pricing | |
Aggregates | | | 48.9 | % | | | 1.9 | % |
Cement | | | (33.6 | %) | | | 16.5 | % |
Ready-mixed concrete | | | 267.7 | % | | | (12.0 | )% |
Asphalt | | | 18.3 | % | | | 8.0 | % |
Aggregates and ready-mixed concrete volumes were positively affected by the Alleyton, Lafarge-Wichita and Westroc acquisitions, resulting in increased revenue of $45.3 million in 2014. The decrease in ready-mixed concrete pricing was a result of different pricing structures across our markets, particularly in the Houston, Texas market, which we entered into with the Alleyton acquisition in January 2014. Our cement volumes decreased 33.6% due to adverse weather conditions and a shift in customer mix, which was partially offset by increased pricing resulting from the customer mix shift. The effect from the price and volume changes resulted in a net increase in revenue of $47.3 million in 2014, which was partially offset by the disposition of certain non-core operations, such as the sale of concrete block assets in the East region and precast and concrete pipe assets in the West region.
Operating loss
Our operating loss decreased $6.8 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014. Operating margin, which we define as operating income as a percentage of revenue, improved 16%. These profit improvements were driven by the following:
| • | | Improved pricing across our aggregates, cement and asphalt products. |
| • | | A $1.3 million curtailment benefit recognized in 2014 related to a retiree postretirement benefit plan we maintain for certain union employees. Effective January 1, 2014, the healthcare and life insurance benefits plan for employees at the cement plant was amended to eliminate all future retiree health and life coverage for the remaining union employees. |
| • | | A decline in general and administrative costs, as a percentage of revenue, from 31.8% to 23.5%. During 2013, we strengthened our infrastructure (finance, information technology, legal and human resources) and expect the growth in general and administrative costs to stabilize during 2014. Included in the reduction in general and administrative costs was a $1.8 million charge recognized in the three months ended March 30, 2013 to remove a sunken barge from the Mississippi River. |
| • | | Offsetting these profit improvements were $1.1 million of increased transaction costs primarily as a result of the January 17, 2014 acquisition of Alleyton. |
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA increased $12.8 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014, related to the following:
| • | | Operating loss decreased $6.8 million, primarily as a result of the margin improvement discussed above. |
| • | | In 2014, we did not have a refinancing loss compared to a $3.1 million loss on the February 2013 debt repricing. |
Other Financial Information
Loss on debt financings
In February 2013, we completed a repricing of our credit facility, which provides for term loans in an aggregate amount of $422.0 million and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $150.0 million (the “Credit Facility”), which reduced our stated term-loan interest rate by 1.0% and provided additional borrowing capacity of $25.0 million. As a result of the repricing, we recognized a loss of $3.1 million for related bank fees in 2013.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased $5.5 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014 due to the additional $260.0 million of 10.5% senior notes issued on January 17, 2014.
Discontinued operations
As part of our strategy to focus on our core business as a heavy-side building materials company, we have exited certain operations in recent years, including concrete paving operations in the East region. Revenue from these discontinued operations was $0.3 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014 and $3.5 million in the three months ended March 30, 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA | | $ | (423 | ) | | $ | (5,954 | ) | | | 92.9 | % |
Revenue in the Central region increased $11.6 million, or 32.4%, in the three months ended March 29, 2014. Revenue from acquisitions totaled $4.9 million for the three months ended March 29, 2014. Improved weather in the region, particularly in March 2014, and the April 1, 2013 acquisition of the Lafarge-Wichita assets contributed to increases in aggregates, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt volumes. In addition, asphalt prices increased 20.2% due to a concentration of higher grade asphalt mixes in 2014, which commanded a higher price due to higher material input cost. Cement volumes decreased 33.6% as a result of poor weather conditions, primarily in January and February and extending into the second quarter, in certain key markets, limiting sales and mobility on the Mississippi River. Cement volumes and pricing were affected by a shift in customer mix away from high-volume customers. The Central region’s percent changes in production volumes and pricing were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Percentage Change in | |
| | Volume | | | Pricing | |
Aggregates | | | 33.4 | % | | | 1.9 | % |
Cement | | | (33.6 | %) | | | 16.5 | % |
Ready-mixed concrete | | | 86.0 | % | | | 4.0 | % |
Asphalt | | | 260.0 | % | | | 20.2 | % |
Operating loss
The Central region’s operating loss decreased $3.7 million and operating margin improved 16.6% in the three months ended March 29, 2014. The increased profitability was largely driven by the 86.0% increase in ready-mixed concrete volumes and improved pricing across all product lines. Margin was also positively affected by synergies realized from the April 1, 2013 acquisition of the Lafarge-Wichita assets, a $1.3 million curtailment benefit recognized in the three months ended March 29, 2014 related to a retiree postretirement benefit plan maintained for certain union employees and a $1.8 million charge recognized in the three months ended March 30, 2013 to remove a sunken barge from the Mississippi River.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA improved $5.5 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014, as a result of increased volumes and improved pricing. In addition, during the three months ended March 30, 2013, we realized a $0.6 million loss on debt financing and a $1.8 million charge to remove a sunken barge from the Mississippi River.

Adjusted EBITDA | | $ | 1,791 | | | $ | (6,722 | ) | | | 126.6 | % |
Revenue in the West region increased 58.0% in the three months ended March 29, 2014 due primarily to acquisitions and improved weather conditions. Incremental revenue from acquisitions totaled $29.9 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014. The increase was attributable to increases in aggregates, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt volumes and increases in aggregates and asphalt pricing. The West region’s percent changes in production volumes and pricing were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Percentage Change in | |
| | Volume | | | Pricing | |
Aggregates | | | 103.5 | % | | | 8.0 | % |
Ready-mixed concrete | | | 390.5 | % | | | (19.0 | )% |
Asphalt | | | 11.5 | % | | | 7.6 | % |
Operating loss
The West region recognized an operating loss of $5.1 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014 compared to $11.0 million in the comparable period in 2013. Operating margin improved 12.9% in the three months ended March 29, 2014. The improvement was primarily driven by higher pricing in aggregates and asphalt. Warmer weather in the state of Texas and the acquisitions of Alleyton and Westroc resulted in greater sales of our ready-mixed concrete.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA improved $8.5 million to $1.8 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014 from $(6.7) million primarily due to increases in the pricing of our aggregates and asphalt and increased volumes in aggregates, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt.

Adjusted EBITDA | | $ | (9,338 | ) | | $ | (9,533 | ) | | | 2.0 | % |
Revenue in the East region decreased 20.3% in the three months ended March 29, 2014 primarily as a result of a 13.3% decline in aggregates volume, which was partially offset by a 3.6% increase in pricing.
33
Operating loss
The East region recognized an operating loss of $12.6 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014 compared to $11.4 million in the comparable period in 2013, resulting in a 40.4% decrease in operating margin. The decrease in operating margin was a result of higher stripping costs and lower production output in aggregates.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.2 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014. After taking into consideration a $1.2 million loss on debt financings in the three months ended March 30, 2013, the remaining change in Adjusted EBITDA was consistent with the increased operating loss discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity include cash on-hand, cash provided by our operations and amounts available for borrowing under our credit facilities. As of March 29, 2014, we had $34.1 million in cash and working capital of $117.3 million as compared to cash and working capital of $14.9 million and $85.4 million, respectively, at December 28, 2013. Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities, excluding the current portion of long-term debt and outstanding borrowings on our senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”). There were no restricted cash balances as of March 29, 2014 or December 28, 2013. Our remaining borrowing capacity on our Revolver as of March 29, 2014 was $131.7 million, which is net of $18.3 million of outstanding letters of credit.
Given the seasonality of our business, we typically experience significant fluctuations in working capital needs and balances throughout the year. Our working capital requirements generally increase during the first half of the year as we build up inventory and focus on repair and maintenance and other set up costs for the upcoming season. Working capital levels then decrease as we wind down the construction season and enter the winter months, which is when we see significant inflows of cash from the collection of receivables. For example, net cash used for operating activities in the three months ended March 30, 2013 was $45.9 million, compared to full year 2013 net cash provided by operating activities of $66.4 million. Net cash used for operating activities in the three months ended March 29, 2014 was $50.4 million.
We believe we have access to sufficient financial resources from our liquidity sources to fund our business and operations, including contractual obligations, capital expenditures and debt service obligations, for at least the next twelve months. Our growth strategy contemplates future acquisitions for which we believe we have sufficient access to capital. As of March 29, 2014, we had approximately $330.6 million of funding commitments from our equity sponsors outstanding.
Indebtedness
Please refer to the notes to the consolidated interim financial statements for detailed information on our long-term debt and Revolver, scheduled maturities of long-term debt and affirmative and negative covenants, including the maximum allowable consolidated first lien net leverage and interest coverage ratios.
At March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, $928.8 million and $695.9 million, respectively, of total debt, without giving effect to original issuance discount or premium, were outstanding under our respective debt agreements. As of March 29, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
Summit Materials and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Finance Corp, have issued $510.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.5% Senior Notes due January 31, 2020 (the “Senior Notes”) under an indenture dated as of January 30, 2012 (as amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”), $250.0 million was issued on January 30, 2012 and $260.0 million on January 17, 2014. The Company received proceeds of $282.8 million, before payment of fees and expenses, from issuance of the additional $260.0 million senior notes. The proceeds from the January 2014 issuance were used for the purchase of Alleyton, to make payments on the Revolver and for general corporate purposes.
In addition to the Senior Notes, Summit Materials has a senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which provides for term loans in an aggregate amount of $422.0 million and credit commitments under the Revolver in an aggregate amount of $150.0 million. Summit Materials’ wholly-owned subsidiary companies and its non wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental Cement, are named as guarantors of the Senior Notes and the Credit Facility. Certain other partially-owned subsidiaries, including a subsidiary of Continental Cement, do not guarantee the Senior Notes. In addition, the Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for the Credit Facility.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our net cash used for or provided by operating, investing and financing activities and our capital expenditures in the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013:

Financing activities | | | 269,839 | | | | 98,985 | |
Cash paid for capital expenditures | | $ | (19,941 | ) | | $ | (16,405 | ) |
Operating activities
For the three months ended March 29, 2014, cash used in operating activities was $50.4 million primarily as a result of:
| • | | Net loss of $53.1 million, adjusted for non-cash expenses of $21.3 million, including $20.8 million of depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion. |
| • | | The timing of payments associated with accounts payable and accrued expenses utilized $19.9 million of cash in conjunction with the build-up of inventory levels and incurrence of repairs and maintenance to prepare the business for increased sales volumes in the summer and fall. In the three months ended March 29, 2014, there were cash interest payments of $20.0 million as interest on our notes is payable in January and July of each year and interest on our Credit Facility is due on the last business day of each calendar quarter. Almost all of our products are consumed and services provided outdoors. Our highest sales and earnings are normally in the spring, summer and fall months, primarily in the second and third quarters, and our lowest sales are in the winter months of the first and fourth quarters. Accordingly, during the winter months, particularly in the first quarter, our payments on accounts payable and accrued expenses outstanding from the prior year-end typically exceed new accounts payable and accrued expenses generated during the quarter, resulting in a net cash outflow. |
| • | | Accounts receivable provided $17.0 million of cash from December 28, 2013 to March 29, 2014. In conjunction with the seasonality of our business, the majority of our sales occur in the spring, summer and fall and we typically incur an increase in accounts receivable (net billed and unbilled) during the second and third quarters of each year. This amount is typically converted to cash in the fourth and first quarters. |
For the three months ended March 30, 2013, cash used for operating activities was $45.9 million primarily as a result of:
| • | | Net loss of $56.3 million, adjusted for non-cash expenses, including $18.5 million of depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion and a $3.0 million loss on our February 2013 debt refinancing. |
| • | | Accounts payable and accrued expenses utilized additional cash from operations of $31.0 million from December 29, 2012 to March 30, 2013 due to $24.8 million of interest payments in the first quarter and as a result of the seasonality of our business. The December 2012 and March 2013 interest payments on the Credit Facility were both made in the three months ended March 30, 2013. |
| • | | Inventory utilized $10.5 million of cash from December 29, 2012 to March 30, 2013. This increase is driven by the seasonality of our business for which our inventory levels typically decrease in the fourth quarter in preparation for the winter slowdown and are then increased at the end of the first quarter in preparation for the increased sales volumes in the spring. |
| • | | Accounts receivable provided $32.6 million of additional cash from December 29, 2012 to March 30, 2013, which partially offset the decreases in cash from our operations, payments on accounts payable and accrued expenses and the cash utilized to increase our inventory levels. Consistent with the seasonal impact on our accounts payable and accrued expenses, collections on accounts receivable in the first quarter typically outpace new receivables generated from sales, resulting in a net cash inflow from accounts receivable during the three months ended March 30, 2013. |
35
Investing activities
For the three months ended March 29, 2014, cash used for investing activities was $200.2 million, $182.5 million of which related to the January 17, 2014 acquisition of Alleyton in Houston, Texas. In addition, we invested $19.9 million in capital expenditures, offset by $2.2 million of proceeds from depreciable asset sales. Approximately $6.5 million of the capital expenditures were invested in our cement business in Hannibal, Missouri, for continued development of an underground mine ($3.0 million), as well as improvements made to the cement plant during the annual scheduled winter shutdown in February 2014.
For the three months ended March 30, 2013, cash used for investing activities was $10.5 million. We paid $16.4 million for capital expenditures, offset by $5.9 million of proceeds from depreciable asset sales. Approximately $6.4 million of the capital expenditures were invested in our cement business in Hannibal, Missouri, which related to continued development of the underground mine ($2.4 million) and a dome in St. Louis, Missouri that expanded our cement storage capacity ($1.4 million) as well as improvements made to the cement plant during the annual scheduled winter shutdown in February 2013.
Financing activities
For the three months ended March 29, 2014, cash provided by financing activities was $269.8 million, which was primarily composed of $282.8 million net proceeds from the January 2014 issuance of $260.0 million Senior Notes, at a premium of $22.8 million, less fees and repayments on the Revolver. Approximately $182.5 million of the funds from the borrowings were used to purchase Alleyton. The remaining funds have been used to fund working capital needs. In addition, we received contributions from our member of $24.4 million and made $0.6 million of payments on our acquisition related liabilities in the three months ended March 29, 2014.
For the three months ended March 30, 2013, cash provided by financing activities was $99.0 million, which is primarily composed of the February 2013 repricing transaction, through which our outstanding borrowings increased $25.0 million, and $79.5 million of borrowings on the revolving credit facility. Approximately $62.0 million of the funds from the borrowings were used on April 1, 2013 to purchase certain assets of Lafarge North America, Inc. in Wichita, Kansas and of Westroc, LLC near Salt Lake City, Utah.
Cash paid for capital expenditures
We expended approximately $19.9 million in capital expenditures in the three months ended March 29, 2014 compared to $16.4 million in the three months ended March 30, 2013. The 2014 capital expenditures include continued development of an underground mine to extract limestone on our Hannibal, Missouri property where our cement plant is located ($3.0 million), $2.9 million of land purchases in Kansas and Kentucky and various other pieces of equipment and rolling stock.
We estimate that we will incur between $71.0 million and $76.0 million in capital expenditures in 2014, which we have funded or expect to fund through our cash on hand, cash from operations, outside financing and available borrowings under our Credit Facility. In 2014, we expect to continue investing in Texas, including installation of a new asphalt plant in San Antonio, Texas and a new sand and gravel processing plant near Houston, Texas. We expect to spend approximately $15.0 million during 2014 on these projects. In addition, we expect to spend $5.9 million in 2014 to complete the underground mine at our cement plant, gaining access to over 200 years of proven and probable limestone reserves.
Commitments and contingencies
The Company is party to certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business activities. Accruals are recorded when the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated in accordance with applicable accounting requirements. While the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects that the ultimate resolution of all current pending or threatened claims and litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
We are obligated under an indemnification agreement entered into with the sellers of Harper Contracting, Inc., Harper Sand and Gravel, Inc., Harper Ready Mix Company, Inc. and Harper Investments, Inc. (collectively, “Harper”) for the sellers’ ownership interests in a joint venture agreement. We have the rights to any benefits under the joint venture as well as the assumption of any obligations, but do not own equity interests in the joint venture. The joint venture has incurred significant losses on a highway project in Utah, which have resulted in requests for funding from the joint venture partners and, ultimately, from the Company. Through March 29, 2014, we have funded $8.8 million, $4.0 million was funded in 2012 and $4.8 million was funded in 2011. As of March 29, 2014 and December 28, 2013, an accrual of $4.3 million was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities for this matter.
36
We are obligated under various firm purchase commitments for certain raw materials and services that are in the ordinary course of business. The terms of these agreements are generally less than one year. Management does not expect any significant changes in the market value of these goods and services during the commitment period that would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.
Off-Balance sheet arrangements
As of March 29, 2014, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements.
New Accounting Standards
In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and “represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.” This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within that annual period, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions that are entered into in the normal course of business. Our operations are highly dependent upon the interest rate-sensitive construction industry as well as the general economic environment. These marketplaces could experience lower levels of economic activity in an environment of rising interest rates or escalating costs.
Management has considered the current economic environment and its potential effect to our business. Demand for aggregates products, particularly in the residential and nonresidential construction markets, could decline if companies and consumers are unable to obtain financing for construction projects or if an economic recession causes delays or cancellations to capital projects. Additionally, declining tax revenue and state budget deficits have negatively affected states’ abilities to finance infrastructure construction projects. In the three months ended March 29, 2014, there have been no material changes in our market risk exposures since December 28, 2013. For a discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, please refer to theForm 10-K.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 29, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 29, 2014, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
37
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
We are party to certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business activities. Accruals are recorded when the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated in accordance with applicable accounting requirements. While the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects that the ultimate resolution of all current pending or threatened claims and litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity or future results. The risks described in the Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that it currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Form 10-K.
