| Item 2.02 | Results of Operations and Financial Condition |
On April 26, 2010, Eagle Materials Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Eagle”), announced its results of operations for the quarter and fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. A copy of Eagle’s earnings press release announcing these results is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
In the earnings press release attached as Exhibit 99.1, Eagle’s financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 reflect the pre-tax write-off of approximately $2.5 million of deferred engineering and permitting costs related to the planned modernization and expansion of its cement facility in Laramie, Wyoming. As a result of improved operational efficiencies and reduced costs realized at this facility, Eagle has been able to achieve a significant portion of the cost savings associated with the planned project. As a result, Eagle withdrew its permit application with the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality in September 2009. In its Annual Report on Form 10-K Eagle will report in the quarterly results footnote the write-off of the deferred costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The effect of this write-off will be to reduce fiscal second quarter Earnings Before Income Taxes by approximately $2.5 million, Net Earnings by approximately $1.7 million and earnings per share by $0.04 per share. The write-off did not have any effect on Eagle’s results for the fourth quarter as reported in the attached earnings release.
