Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	(A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, include the accounts of Eagle Materials Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company, us, or we) and have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2024. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, and we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information in the following Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements PENDING ADOPTION In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 will become effective for public companies during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires public entities to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts organized by specified categories with certain reconciling items that exceed a specified threshold broken out by nature and jurisdiction. Additionally, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, and local jurisdiction, if the amount is at least 5% of the total income tax payments, net of refunds received, by individual jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. ASU 2023-09 will not have any impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition .

Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITION	(C) ACQUISITION On August 9, 2024, we purchased the assets of an aggregates operation in Battletown, Kentucky (the Acquisition), which was accounted for under the acquisition method. The purchase price of the Acquisition was approximately $ 24.9 million. The purchase price allocation has not yet been finalized. The purchase price was funded through borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. Operations related to the Acquisition are included in the Concrete and Aggregates business in our segment reporting from August 9, 2024, through September 30, 2024. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (based on Level 3 inputs) as of September 30, 2024: Estimated Fair Value Inventory $ 1,322 Property, Plant, and Equipment 16,815 Lease Right-of-Use Assets 757 Intangible Assets 2,500 Accrued Liabilities ( 71 ) Lease Obligations ( 757 ) Goodwill 4,315 Total Estimated Purchase Price $ 24,881 The estimated useful lives assigned to Property, Plant, and Equipment range from 5 to 30 years , while the estimated useful lives assigned to Intangible Assets are approximately 15 years . All goodwill generated from the Acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes. The following table presents the Revenue and Operating Loss related to the Acquisition that has been included in our Consolidated Statement of Earnings from August 9, 2024, through September 30, 2024.

REVENUE

REVENUE	6 Months Ended
REVENUE	Sep. 30, 2024
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE	(D) REVENUE We earn Revenue primarily from the sale of products, which include cement, concrete, aggregates, gypsum wallboard, and recycled paperboard. The vast majority of Revenue from the sale of concrete, aggregates, and gypsum wallboard is originated by purchase orders from our customers, who are mostly third-party contractors and suppliers. Revenue from the sale of cement is recognized at the point-of-sale to customers under sales orders. Revenue from our Recycled Paperboard segment is generated mainly through long-term supply agreements. These agreements do not have a stated maturity date, but may be terminated by either party with a two- to three-year notice period. We invoice customers upon shipment, and our collection terms range from 30 to 75 days. Revenue from the sale of cement, concrete, aggregates, and gypsum wallboard not related to long-term supply agreements is recognized upon shipment of the related products to customers, which is when title and ownership are transferred, and the customer is obligated to pay. Revenue from sales under our long-term supply agreements is also recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which generally occurs at the time the product is shipped from the production facility or terminal location. Our long-term supply agreements with customers define, among other commitments, the volume of product that we must provide and the volume that the customer must purchase by the end of the defined periods. Pricing structures under our agreements are generally market-based, but are subject to certain contractual adjustments. Shortfall amounts, if applicable under these arrangements, are constrained and not recognized as Revenue until an agreement is reached with the customer and, therefore, are not subject to the risk of reversal. The Company offers certain of its customers, including those with long-term supply agreements, rebates and incentives, which we treat as variable consideration. We adjust the amount of Revenue recognized for the variable consideration using the most likely amount method based on past history and projected volumes in the rebate and incentive period. Any amounts billed to customers for taxes are excluded from Revenue. The Company has elected to treat freight and delivery charges we pay for the delivery of goods to our customers as a fulfillment activity rather than a separate performance obligation. When we arrange for a third party to deliver products to customers, fees for shipping and handling billed to the customer are recorded as Revenue, while costs we incur for shipping and handling are recorded as expenses and included in Cost of Goods Sold. Other Non-Operating Income includes lease and rental income, asset sale income, non-inventoried aggregates sales income, distribution center income, and trucking income, as well as other miscellaneous revenue items and costs that have not been allocated to a business segment. See Footnote (N) to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for disaggregation of revenue by segment.

ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE	(E) ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE Accounts Receivable are shown net of the allowance for credit losses totaling $ 6.7 million at both September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally require no collateral from our customers. The allowance for credit losses is based on analysis of economic trends in the construction industry, detailed analysis of the expected collectability of past-due accounts receivable, and the expected collectability of overall receivables. We have no significant credit risk concentration among our diversified customer base.

LEASES	Sep. 30, 2024
Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	(H) LEASES We lease certain real estate, buildings, and equipment, including railcars and barges. Certain of these leases contain escalations of rent over the term of the lease, as well as options for us to extend the term of the lease at the end of the original term. These extensions range from periods of 1 to 20 years . Our lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. In calculating the present value of future minimum lease payments, we use the rate implicit in the lease if it can be determined. Otherwise, we use our incremental borrowing rate in effect at the commencement of the lease to determine the present value of the future minimum lease payments. Additionally, we lease certain equipment under short-term leases with initial terms of less than 12 months, which are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense for our operating and short-term leases is as follows: For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Six Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 (dollars in thousands) Operating Lease Cost $ 1,904 $ 1,953 $ 3,951 $ 4,227 Short-term Lease Cost 304 191 645 414 Total Lease Cost $ 2,208 $ 2,144 $ 4,596 $ 4,641 The Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities are reflected on our Balance Sheet as follows: September 30, March 31, 2024 2024 (dollars in thousands) Operating Leases Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets $ 17,316 $ 19,373 Current Operating Lease Liabilities $ 6,029 $ 7,899 Noncurrent Operating Lease Liabilities 17,628 19,037 Total Operating Lease Liabilities $ 23,657 $ 26,936 Future payments for operating leases are as follows (dollars in thousands): Fiscal Year Amount 2025 (remaining six months) $ 4,133 2026 4,845 2027 3,679 2028 2,812 2029 2,734 Thereafter 12,210 Total Lease Payments $ 30,413 Less: Imputed Interest ( 6,756 ) Present Value of Lease Liabilities $ 23,657 Weighted-Average Remaining Lease Term (in years) 10.7 Weighted-Average Discount Rate 4.25 %

SHARE-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION	Sep. 30, 2024
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
SHARE-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION	(I) S hare -BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION On August 3, 2023, our stockholders approved the Eagle Materials Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2023 Plan), which reserves 1,425,000 shares for future grants of stock awards. Under the terms of the 2023 Plan, we can issue equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock, and stock appreciation rights to employees of the Company, members of the Board of Directors and consultants, independent contractors, and agents of the Company. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (Compensation Committee) specifies grant terms for awards under the Plan . Fiscal 2025 Equity Awards In May 2024, the Compensation Committee awarded to certain officers and key employees an aggregate of 29,391 performance stock units and 1,963 performance stock options, as compensation for achievement of the target level of performance (collectively, the Performance Stock Awards). For the Performance Stock Awards to be earned, the Company must achieve performance vesting criteria as modified based on the Company’s average absolute total stockholder return during the performance period. The performance vesting criteria are based on certain levels of average annual return on equity (as defined in the Performance Stock Award Agreements) ranging from 10.0 % to 20.0 % measured at the end of fiscal 2027 (three-year performance period) as modified by total stockholder return . Performance outcomes (taking into account both criteria) will result in a threshold vesting percentage of 50 % of target and maximum performance will result in a vesting percentage of 200 % of target. If the threshold vesting percentage is not achieved, none of the Performance Stock Awards will be earned. Our Performance Stock Awards are evaluated on a quarterly basis with adjustments to compensation expense based on the likelihood of the performance targets being achieved or exceeded. The maximum expense for our outstanding Performance Stock Awards is approximately $ 11.7 million. Any forfeitures are recognized as a reduction to expense in the period in which they occur . The fair value of the above Performance Stock Awards was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The following are key inputs in the Monte Carlo analysis for the Fiscal 2025 Employee Performance Stock Award. Measurement Period (in years) 2.85 Risk-Free Interest Rate 4.7 % Dividend Yield 0.4 % Volatility 31.4 % Estimated Fair Value of Market-Based PSAs at Grant Date $ 238.27 In addition to the Performance Stock Awards discussed above, the Compensation Committee approved the granting to certain officers and key employees an aggregate of 1,963 time-vesting stock options, which vest ratably over three years (the Fiscal 2025 Employee Time-Vesting Stock Option Grant) and 30,272 shares of time-vesting restricted stock units, which vest ratably over three years (the Fiscal 2025 Employee Restricted Stock Unit Time-Vesting Award). The Fiscal 2025 Employee Restricted Stock Unit Time-Vesting Award was valued at the closing price of the stock on the grant date and is being expensed over a three-year period. The Fiscal 2025 Employee Time-Vesting Stock Option Grant was valued at its grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which used similar inputs as the Monte Carlo analysis shown above . In August 2024, the Compensation Committee granted 1,550 options to members of the Board of Directors (the Fiscal 2025 Board of Directors Stock Option Award). Options granted under the Fiscal 2025 Board of Directors Stock Option Award vest one year after the grant date, and can be exercised from the date of vesting until their expiration on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The Fiscal 2025 Board of Directors Stock Option Award was valued at its grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is being expensed over a one-year period. The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model to value the Fiscal 2025 Board of Directors Stock Option Award are as follows: Dividend Yield 0.5 % Expected Volatility 38.8 % Risk-Free Interest Rate 4.2 % Expected Life 6.0 Years In August 2024, the Compensation Committee granted 7,078 shares of time-vesting restricted stock to members of the Board of Directors (the Fiscal 2025 Board of Directors Restricted Stock Award). Restricted stock granted under the Fiscal 2025 Board of Directors Restricted Stock Award vest one year after the grant date, and were valued at the closing price of the stock on the grant date. The value of the Fiscal 2025 Board of Directors Restricted Stock Award is being expensed over a one-year period. In addition to the awards described above, we may issue equity awards, including stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units, to certain employees from time to time. Any options issued are valued using the Black-Scholes options pricing model on the grant date and expensed over the vesting period, while restricted stock and restricted stock units are valued using the closing price on the date of grant and expensed over the vesting period. Long-Term Compensation Plans STOCK OPTIONS Stock option expense for all outstanding stock option awards totaled approximately $ 0.3 million and $ 0.6 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $ 0.5 million and $ 1.0 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. At September 30, 2024, there was approximately $ 1.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The following table represents stock option activity for the six months ended September 30, 2024: Number Weighted- Outstanding Options at March 31, 2024 252,364 $ 91.28 Granted 5,476 $ 244.92 Exercised ( 24,366 ) $ 97.26 Cancelled — $ — Outstanding Options at September 30, 2024 233,474 $ 94.00 Options Exercisable at September 30, 2024 195,201 Weighted-Average Fair Value of Options Granted $ 104.45 The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at September 30, 2024: Options Outstanding Options Exercisable Range of Exercise Prices Number of Weighted- Weighted- Number of Weighted- $ 59.32 - $ 81.28 101,349 5.11 $ 62.64 101,349 $ 62.64 $ 87.37 - $ 106.00 65,031 4.04 $ 94.54 63,173 $ 94.46 $ 118.27 - $ 139.25 52,615 7.60 $ 126.54 24,673 $ 126.33 $ 143.09 - $ 261.73 14,479 8.63 $ 192.94 6,006 $ 158.61 233,474 5.59 $ 94.00 195,201 $ 83.94 At September 30, 2024, the aggregate intrinsic value of the outstanding and exercisable options was approximately $ 45.2 million and $ 39.8 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2024, there was approximately $ 28.2 million of unearned compensation from restricted stock units and restricted stock, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. The number of shares available for future grants of stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock under the Plan was 1,342,965 at September 30, 2024.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
PENSION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	(K) PENSION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS We sponsor several single-employer defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans, which together cover substantially all our employees. Benefits paid under the single-employer defined benefit plans covering certain hourly employees were historically based on years of service and the employee’s qualifying compensation over the last few years of employment. Over the last several years, these plans have been frozen to new participants and new benefits, with the last plan becoming frozen during fiscal 2020. Our defined benefit plans are all fully funded, with plan assets exceeding the benefit obligation at March 31, 2024. Due to the frozen status and current funding of the single-employer pension plans, our expected pension expense for fiscal 2025 is less than $ 0.2 million.

INCOME TAXES	(L) INCOME TAXES Income Taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. In addition to the amount of tax resulting from applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income, we will include, when appropriate, certain items treated as discrete events to arrive at an estimated overall tax amount. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2024, was approximately 22 %, which was consistent with the effective tax rate of 22 % for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. Statutory rate of 21 % mainly due to state income taxes, partially offset by a benefit recognized related to percentage depletion.

The Revolving Credit Facility includes a separate $ 200.0 million term loan facility (the Term Loan) and also provides the Company the option to increase the borrowing capacity by up to $ 375.0 million (for a total borrowing capacity of $ 1,125.0 million), provided the existing lenders, or new lenders, agree to such increase. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $ 40.0 million letter of credit facility and a swingline loan sub-facility of $ 25.0 million, and expires on May 5, 2027. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants for an unsecured investment-grade facility, including covenants that restrict the Company’s and/or its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt; encumber assets; merge with or transfer or sell assets to other persons; and enter into certain affiliate transactions. The Revolving Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter a Leverage Ratio of 3.50 :1.00 or less and an Interest Coverage Ratio (both ratios, as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) equal to or greater than 2.50 to 1.00 (collectively, the Financial Covenants). At the Company’s option, outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at a variable rate equal to either (i) the adjusted term SOFR rate (secured overnight financing rate), plus 10 basis points, plus an agreed spread (ranging from 100 to 162.5 basis points, which is established based on the Company's credit rating); (ii) in respect of any Revolving Loans (until such time as the then-existing Benchmark (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) is replaced in accordance with the Revolving Credit Facility), the adjusted daily simple SOFR rate, plus 10 basis points, plus an agreed spread (ranging from 100 to 162.5 basis points, which is established based on the Company's credit rating) or (iii) an Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility), which is the highest of (a) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) in effect on any applicable day, (b) the NYFRB Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) in effect on any applicable day, plus ½ of 1% , and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) for a one month interest period on any applicable day, or if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day, plus 1.0%, in each case plus an agreed upon spread (ranging from 0 to 62.5 basis points), which is established quarterly based on the Company's credit rating. The Company is also required to pay a facility fee on unused available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility ranging from 9 to 22.5 basis points, which is established based on the Company's then credit rating. The Company pays each lender a participation fee with respect to such lender’s participations in letters of credit, which fee accrues at the same Applicable Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility), plus a fronting fee for each letter of credit issued by the issuing bank in an amount equal to 12.5 basis points per annum on the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such letter of credit. The Company also pays each issuing bank such bank’s standard fees with respect to issuance, amendment or extensions of letters of credit and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges relating to such issuing bank’s letters of credit from time to time. There were $ 155.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, plus $ 10.0 million outstanding letters of credit as of September 30, 2024, resulting in $ 585.0 million of available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of the outstanding letters of credit. We were in compliance with all Financial Covenants on September 30, 2024; therefore, the entire $ 585.0 million is available for future borrowings. Term Loan On May 5, 2022, we borrowed the $ 200.0 million Term Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility, and used these proceeds to, among other things, pay down a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments of $ 2.5 million, with any unpaid amounts due upon maturity on May 5, 2027 . At the Company’s option, principal amounts outstanding under the Term Loan bear interest as set forth in the Revolving Credit Facility (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, at a daily simple SOFR rate unless and until such time as the then-existing Benchmark (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) is replaced in accordance with the Revolving Credit Facility). 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2031 On July 1, 2021, we issued $ 750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.500% senior notes due July 2031 (the 2.500 % Senior Unsecured Notes). The 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. The 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes were issued net of original issue discount of $ 6.3 million and have an effective interest rate of approximately 2.6 %. The original issue discount is being amortized by the effective interest method over the 10-year term of the notes. The 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes are redeemable prior to April 1, 2031, at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the aggregate principal amount of the 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes being redeemed, plus the present value of remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest from the applicable redemption date to April 1, 2031, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the Treasury rate plus 20 basis points. The 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes are redeemable on or after April 1, 2031, at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the aggregate principal amount of the 2.500 % Senior Unsecured Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. If we experience certain change of control triggering events, we would be required to offer to repurchase the 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101 % of the aggregate principal amount of the 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. The indenture governing the 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes contains certain covenants that limit our ability to create or permit to exist certain liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge, or transfer all or substantially all of our assets, and provides for certain events of default that, if any occurred, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on the 2.500% Senior Unsecured Notes to become or be declared due and payable.

SEGMENT INFORMATION	Sep. 30, 2024
Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	(N) SEGMENT INFORMATION Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities that earn revenue, incur expenses, and prepare separate financial information that is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker to allocate resources and assess performance. Our business is organized into two sectors within which there are four reportable business segments. The Heavy Materials sector includes the Cement and Concrete and Aggregates segments. The Light Materials sector includes the Gypsum Wallboard and Recycled Paperboard segments. Our primary products are commodities that are essential in commercial and residential construction; public construction projects to build, expand, and repair roads and buildings; and all repair and remodel activities. Demand for our products is generally cyclical and seasonal, depending on economic and geographic conditions. We distribute our products across many United States markets, which provides us with regional economic diversification. Our operations are conducted in the U.S. and include the mining of limestone for the manufacture, production, distribution, and sale of portland cement (a basic construction material that is the essential binding ingredient in concrete); the grinding and sale of slag; the mining of gypsum for the manufacture and sale of gypsum wallboard; the manufacture and sale of recycled paperboard to the gypsum wallboard industry and other paperboard converters; the sale of readymix concrete; and the mining and sale of aggregates (crushed stone, sand, and gravel). We operate eight modern cement plants (one of which is operated through a joint venture located in Buda, Texas), one slag grinding facility, and over 30 cement distribution terminals. Our cement companies focus on the U.S. heartland and operate as an integrated network selling product primarily in California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. We operate 25 readymix concrete batch plants and six aggregates processing plants in markets that are complementary to our cement network. We operate five gypsum wallboard plants and a recycled paperboard mill. We distribute gypsum wallboard and recycled paperboard throughout the continental U.S., with the exception of the Northeast. We account for intersegment sales at market prices. For segment reporting purposes only, we proportionately consolidate our 50 % share of the Joint Venture Revenue and Operating Earnings, consistent with the way management reports the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The following table sets forth certain financial information relating to our operations by segment. We do not allocate interest or taxes at the segment level; these costs are disclosed at the consolidated company level.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	(P) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES We have certain deductible limits under our workers’ compensation and liability insurance policies for which reserves are established based on the undiscounted estimated costs of known and anticipated claims. We have entered into standby letter of credit agreements relating to workers’ compensation, auto, and general liability self-insurance. At September 30, 2024, we had contingent liabilities under these outstanding letters of credit of approximately $ 10.0 million. In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications that are both standard in the industry and specific to a transaction, such as the sale of a business. These indemnifications may include claims relating to any of the following: environmental and tax matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships; and construction contracts and financial matters. While the maximum amount to which the Company may be exposed under such agreements cannot be estimated, management believes these indemnifications will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We currently have no outstanding guarantees. We are currently contingently liable for performance under $ 30.0 million in performance bonds required by certain states and municipalities, and their related agencies. The bonds are principally for certain reclamation obligations and mining permits. We have indemnified the underwriting insurance company against any exposure under the performance bonds. In our experience, no material claims have been made against these financial instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements PENDING ADOPTION In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 will become effective for public companies during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which focuses on the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 requires public entities to disclose, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation using both percentages and currency amounts organized by specified categories with certain reconciling items that exceed a specified threshold broken out by nature and jurisdiction. Additionally, all entities are required to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, and local jurisdiction, if the amount is at least 5% of the total income tax payments, net of refunds received, by individual jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. ASU 2023-09 will not have any impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition .
