NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries is a leading supplier of heavy construction materials in the southwestern United States through our three business segments: cement, aggregates and consumer products. Our principal products are gray portland cement, produced and sold through our cement segment; stone, sand and gravel, produced and sold through our aggregates segment; and ready-mix concrete, produced and sold through our consumer products segment. Other products include expanded shale and clay lightweight aggregates, produced and sold through our aggregates segment, and packaged concrete mix, mortar, sand and related products, produced and sold through our consumer products segment. Our facilities are concentrated primarily in Texas, Louisiana and California. When used in these notes the terms “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended May 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Texas Industries, Inc. for the year ended May 31, 2011.
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Industries, Inc. and all subsidiaries except for a joint venture in which the Company has a 40% equity interest. The joint venture is accounted for using the equity method. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Estimates. The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The estimated fair value of each class of financial instrument as of February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2011 approximates its carrying value except for long-term debt having fixed interest rates. The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based on broker/dealer quoted market prices. As of February 29, 2012, the fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was approximately $628.5 million compared to the carrying amount of $654.5 million. As of May 31, 2011, the fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was approximately $691.5 million compared to the carrying amount of $652.5 million.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Investments with maturities of less than 90 days when purchased are classified as cash equivalents and consist primarily of money market funds and investment grade commercial paper issued by major corporations and financial institutions.
Receivables.Management evaluates the ability to collect accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. A reserve for doubtful accounts is maintained based on the length of time receivables are past due or the status of a customer’s financial condition. If we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to make required payments, specific amounts are added to the reserve.
Environmental Liabilities.We are subject to environmental laws and regulations established by federal, state and local authorities, and make provision for the estimated costs related to compliance when it is probable that an estimable liability has been incurred.
Legal Contingencies.We are a defendant in lawsuits which arose in the normal course of business, and make provision for the estimated loss from any claim or legal proceeding when it is probable that an estimable liability has been incurred.
Inventories.Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We used the last-in, first out (“LIFO”) method to value finished products, work in process and raw material inventories excluding natural aggregate inventories. Natural aggregate inventories and parts and supplies inventories are valued using the average cost method. Our natural aggregate inventory excludes volumes in excess of an average twelve-month period of actual sales.
- 6 -
Long-lived Assets.Management reviews long-lived assets on a facility by facility basis for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable and would record an impairment charge if necessary. Such evaluations compare the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset and are significantly impacted by estimates of future prices for our products, capital needs, economic trends and other factors. Estimates of future cash flows reflect Management’s belief that it operates in a cyclical industry and that we are at a low point in the cycle.
In the fourth quarter of our prior fiscal year, management evaluated the Hunter, Texas cement plant, including the capitalized construction and interest costs associated with the expansion. We expect the Texas market to recover to pre-recession levels and to complete the expansion project. Based on historical margins, we believe the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the Hunter plant after completion of the expansion will significantly exceed the current investment in the plant as well as the remaining costs of the expansion and future capital expenditures necessary to achieve these cash flows.
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Costs incurred to construct certain long-lived assets include capitalized interest which is amortized over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Interest is capitalized during the construction period of qualified assets based on the average amount of accumulated expenditures and the weighted average interest rate applicable to borrowings outstanding during the period. If accumulated expenditures exceed applicable borrowings outstanding during the period, capitalized interest is allocated to projects under construction on a pro rata basis. Provisions for depreciation are computed generally using the straight-line method. Useful lives for our primary operating facilities range from 10 to 25 years with certain cement facility structures having useful lives of 40 years. Provisions for depletion of mineral deposits are computed on the basis of the estimated quantity of recoverable raw materials. The costs of removing overburden and waste materials to access mineral deposits are referred to as stripping costs. All post-production stripping costs are recognized as costs of the inventory produced during the period the stripping costs are incurred. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Goodwill and Goodwill Impairment. Management tests goodwill for impairment annually by reporting unit in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year using a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test identifies potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. In applying a fair-value-based test, estimates are made of the expected future cash flows to be derived from the reporting unit. Similar to the review for impairment of other long-lived assets, the resulting fair value determination is significantly impacted by estimates of future prices for our products, capital needs, economic trends and other factors. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination.
Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of ready-mix operations in Texas and Louisiana and identified with our consumer products operations has a carrying value of $1.7 million at both February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2011. Based on an impairment test performed as of March 31, 2011, the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, and therefore, no potential impairment was identified.
Income Taxes. Texas Industries, Inc. (the parent company) joins in filing a consolidated return with its subsidiaries based on federal and certain state tax filing requirements. Certain subsidiaries also file separate state income tax returns. Current and deferred tax expense is allocated among the members of the group based on a stand-alone calculation of the tax of the individual member. We recognize and classify deferred income taxes using an asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the tax effect of temporary differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by current enacted tax rates.
We calculate our current and deferred tax provision based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from the actual results reflected in income tax returns filed during the subsequent year. Adjustments based on filed returns are generally recorded in the year the tax returns are filed.
- 7 -
The amount of income tax we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal and state authorities which may result in proposed assessments. Our estimate of the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. We account for these uncertain tax issues using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step determines if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step measures the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. We adjust reserves for our uncertain tax positions due to changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, judicial rulings, refinement of estimates, or realization of earnings or deductions that differ from our estimates. To the extent that the final outcome of these matters differs from the amounts recorded, such differences generally will impact our provision for income taxes in the period in which such a determination is made. Our provisions for income taxes include the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate including related interest and penalties.
Management reviews our deferred tax position and in particular our deferred tax assets whenever circumstances indicate that the assets may not be realized in the future and would record a valuation allowance unless such deferred tax assets were deemed more likely than not to be recoverable. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon various factors including the generation of taxable income during future periods. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, we consider such factors as historical earnings, the reversal of existing temporary differences, prior taxable income (if carryback is permitted under the tax law), and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets valuation allowance would be charged to earnings in the period in which we make such a determination. If we later determine that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized, we would reverse the applicable portion of the previously provided valuation allowance as an adjustment to earnings at such time. See further discussion in note 8.
Real Estate and Investments.Surplus real estate and real estate acquired for development of high quality industrial, office or multi-use parks totaled $6.2 million at February 29, 2012 and $6.0 million at May 31, 2011.
Investments include life insurance contracts purchased in connection with certain of our benefit plans. The contracts, recorded at their net cash surrender value, totaled $1.1 million (net of distributions of $94.4 million plus accrued interest and fees) at February 29, 2012 and $0.7 million (net of distributions of $87.7 million plus accrued interest and fees) at May 31, 2011. We can elect to receive distributions chargeable against the cash surrender value of the policies in the form of borrowings or withdrawals or we can elect to surrender the policies and receive their net cash surrender value. Proceeds received from the policies were $7.3 million and $7.4 million in the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively.
Investment in Joint Venture.In November 2011 we entered into a joint venture agreement with a ready-mix operator based in Waco, Texas to which we contributed seven of our central Texas ready-mix plants and certain related assets and guaranteed 50%, or $13.0 million, of the joint venture’s debt which matures November 18, 2013. In addition to our 50% guarantee of the joint venture’s debt, 100% of the debt is guaranteed by the other partner and secured by the underlying assets of the joint venture. The joint venture was in compliance with all the terms of the debt as of February 29, 2012. Subject to a final determination of the fair value, our 40% equity interest in the joint venture was recorded at the $3.9 million carrying amount of the assets contributed, and therefore no gain or loss was recognized in the three month and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012. Because the assets contributed were recently acquired any future gain or loss is not expected to be significant. The day to day business operations are managed by the 60% partner in the venture. The joint venture operates a total of nineteen ready-mix and two sand and gravel plants serving the central Texas market. We continue to supply cement to the joint venture. Our equity in losses of the joint venture was $0.3 million in the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012.
Deferred Other Charges. Deferred other charges totaled $20.3 million at February 29, 2012 and $19.5 million at May 31, 2011 and are composed primarily of debt issuance costs that totaled $13.5 million at February 29, 2012 and $13.2 million at May 31, 2011. The costs are amortized over the term of the related debt.
Other Credits.Other credits totaled $81.3 million at February 29, 2012 and $87.3 million at May 31, 2011 and are composed primarily of liabilities related to our retirement plans, deferred compensation agreements and asset retirement obligations.

Asset Retirement Obligations. We record a liability for legal obligations associated with the retirement of our long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred if an estimate of fair value of the obligation can be made. The discounted fair value of the obligations incurred in each period are added to the carrying amount of the associated assets and depreciated over the lives of the assets. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through a charge to operating expense. A gain or loss on settlement is recognized if the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability.
We incur legal obligations for asset retirement as part of our normal operations related to land reclamation, plant removal and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act closures. Determining the amount of an asset retirement liability requires estimating the future cost of contracting with third parties to perform the obligation. The estimate is significantly impacted by, among other considerations, management’s assumptions regarding the scope of the work required, labor costs, inflation rates, market-risk premiums and closure dates.
Changes in asset retirement obligations are as follows:

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss represent adjustments related to a defined benefit retirement plan and a postretirement health benefit plan covering approximately 600 employees and retirees of our California cement subsidiary. The amounts totaled $12.0 million (net of tax of $7.0 million) at February 29, 2012 and $12.8 million (net of tax of $7.4 million) at May 31, 2011.
Comprehensive income or loss consists of net income or loss and amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss recognized in the period as components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost, net of tax. Comprehensive loss for the three-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 was $24.0 million and $20.6 million, respectively. Comprehensive loss for the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 was $52.0 million and $54.9 million, respectively.
Net Sales. Sales are recognized when title has transferred and products are delivered. We include delivery fees in the amount we bill customers to the extent needed to recover our cost of freight and delivery. Net sales are presented as revenues and include these delivery fees.
Other Income.Routine sales of surplus operating assets and real estate resulted in gains of $1.0 million in the three-month period ended February 29, 2012 and gains of $1.7 million and $1.5 million in the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively. In addition, we have sold emissions credits associated with our Crestmore cement plant in Riverside, California resulting in gains of $2.5 million and $1.7 million in the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively.
We have entered into various oil and gas lease agreements on property we own in north Texas. The terms of the agreements include the payment of a lease bonus and royalties on any oil and gas produced. Lease bonus payments and royalties on oil and gas produced resulted in income of $0.3 million and $0.5 million in the three-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively, and income of $1.1 million and $2.6 million in the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively. We cannot predict what the level of future royalties, if any, will be.
In July 2011 we entered into an asset exchange transaction in which we acquired the ready-mix and aggregate operations of CEMEX USA that serve the Austin, Texas metropolitan market. In exchange for the three ready-mix plants and one sand and gravel plant, we transferred to CEMEX USA certain of our ready-mix operations in Houston, Texas. Based on the preliminary valuation of the respective assets, the exchange resulted in the recognition of a gain of $2.1 million and the acquisition of ready-mix and aggregate property, plant and equipment of $6.1 million. The operating results of the acquired ready-mix and sand and gravel operations are reported in our consumer products and aggregate segments, respectively.

Restructuring Charges.We recorded restructuring charges of $3.2 million in the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012, of which $2.5 million has been paid. These charges consist primarily of severance and benefit costs associated with various workforce reduction initiatives.
Stock-based Compensation.We have provided stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors in the form of non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, deferred compensation agreements and stock awards. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted as of the date of grant. Options with graded vesting are valued as single awards and the related compensation cost is recognized using a straight-line attribution method over the shorter of the vesting period or required service period adjusted for estimated forfeitures. We use the average stock price on the date of grant to determine the fair value of restricted stock awards paid. A liability, which is included in other credits, is recorded for stock appreciation rights, deferred compensation agreements and stock awards expected to be settled in cash, based on their fair value at the end of each period until such awards are paid. See further discussion in note 6.
Earnings Per Share(“EPS”). Income or loss allocated to common shareholders adjusts net income or loss for the participation in earnings of unvested restricted shares outstanding.
Basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period includes contingently issuable shares and excludes outstanding unvested restricted shares. Contingently issuable shares relate to vested shares under our former stock awards program and to deferred compensation agreements in which directors elected to defer their fees. Vested stock award shares are issued in the year in which the employee reaches age 60. The deferred compensation is denominated in shares of our common stock and issued in accordance with the terms of the agreement subsequent to retirement or separation from us. The shares are considered contingently issuable because the director has an unconditional right to the shares to be issued.
Diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusts basic weighted-average shares for the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted shares and awards.
Basic and Diluted EPS are calculated as follows:

2. Working Capital
Working capital totaled $153.0 million at February 29, 2012 compared to $249.2 million at May 31, 2011. Selected components of working capital are summarized below.
Receivables consist of:

Trade notes and accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for doubtful receivables of $4.8 million at February 29, 2012 and $3.9 million at May 31, 2011. Provisions for bad debts charged to expense were $1.2 million and $2.4 million in the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively. Uncollectible accounts written off totaled $0.3 million and $1.6 million in the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively.
Inventories consist of:

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Finished products, work in process and raw material inventories, excluding natural aggregate inventories, are valued using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. Natural aggregate finished products and raw material inventories and parts and supplies inventories are valued using the average cost method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation. If the average cost method (which approximates current replacement cost) had been used for all of these inventories, inventory values would have been higher by $40.7 million at February 29, 2012 and $44.6 million at May 31, 2011.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. On August 25, 2011, we amended and restated our credit agreement and the associated security agreement. The credit agreement continues to provide for a $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a $50 million sub-limit for letters of credit and a $15 million sub-limit for swing line loans. The credit facility matures on August 25, 2016. Amounts drawn under the credit facility bear annual interest either at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.0% to 2.75% or at a base rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 1.75%. The base rate is the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, the prime rate established by Bank of America, N.A. or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. The interest rate margins are determined based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. The commitment fee calculated on the unused portion of the credit facility ranges from 0.375% to 0.50% per year based on the Company’s average daily loan balance. We may terminate the credit facility at any time.
The amount that can be borrowed under the credit facility is limited to an amount called the borrowing base. The borrowing base may be less than the $200 million stated principal amount of the credit facility. The borrowing base is calculated based on the value of our accounts receivable, inventory and mobile equipment in which the lenders have a security interest. In addition, by mortgaging tracts of its real property to the lenders, the Company may increase the borrowing base by an amount beginning at $20 million and declining to $10.7 million at the maturity of the credit facility.
The borrowing base under the agreement was $135.3 million as of February 29, 2012. We are not required to maintain any financial ratios or covenants unless an event of default occurs or the unused portion of the borrowing base is less than $25 million, in which case we must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0. At February 29, 2012, our fixed charge coverage ratio was (.62) to 1.0. Given this ratio, we may use only $110.3 million of the borrowing base as of such date. No borrowings were outstanding at February 29, 2012; however, $25.5 million of the borrowing base was used to support letters of credit. As a result, the maximum amount we could borrow as of February 29, 2012 was $84.8 million.
All of our consolidated subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the credit facility. The credit facility is secured by first priority security interests in all or most of our existing and future consolidated accounts, inventory, equipment, intellectual property and other personal property, and in all of our equity interests in present and future domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the equity interest in any future foreign subsidiaries, if any.
The credit agreement contains a number of covenants restricting, among other things, prepayment or redemption of our senior notes, distributions and dividends on and repurchases of our capital stock, acquisitions and investments, indebtedness, liens and affiliate transactions. We are permitted to pay cash dividends on our common stock as long as the credit facility is not in default, the fixed charge coverage ratio is greater than 1.0 to 1.0 and borrowing availability under the borrowing base is more than $40 million. When our fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0, we are permitted to pay cash dividends on our common stock not to exceed $2.5 million in any single instance (which shall not occur more than four times in any calendar year) or $10 million in the aggregate during any calendar year as long as the credit facility is not in default and borrowing availability is more than the greater of $60 million or 30% of the aggregate commitments of all lenders. For this purpose, borrowing availability is equal to the borrowing base less the amount of outstanding borrowings less the amount used to support letters of credit. We were in compliance with all of our loan covenants as of February 29, 2012.

9.25% Senior Notes.On August 10, 2010, we sold $650 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.25% senior notes due 2020 at an offering price of 100%. The notes were issued under an indenture dated as of August 10, 2010. The net proceeds were used to purchase or redeem all of our outstanding 7.25% senior notes due 2013, with additional proceeds available for general corporate purposes.
At February 29, 2012, we had $650 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior notes outstanding. Under the indenture, at any time on or prior to August 15, 2015, we may redeem the notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and a make-whole premium. On and after August 15, 2015, we may redeem all or a part of the notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 15 of the years indicated below:
| | | | |
Year | | Percentage | |
2015 | | | 104.625% | |
2016 | | | 103.083% | |
2017 | | | 101.542% | |
2018 and thereafter | | | 100.000% | |
In addition, prior to August 15, 2013, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price equal to 109.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. If we experience a change of control, we may be required to offer to purchase the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest.
All of our consolidated subsidiaries have unconditionally guaranteed the 9.25% senior notes. The indenture governing the notes contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock, make certain investments, incur additional debt or sell preferred stock, create liens, restrict dividend payments or other payments from subsidiaries to the Company, engage in consolidations and mergers or sell or transfer assets, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, engage in transactions with affiliates, and sell stock in our subsidiaries. We are not required to maintain any affirmative financial ratios or covenants. We were in compliance with all of our covenants as of February 29, 2012.
Refinancing. On July 27, 2010, we commenced a cash tender offer for all of the outstanding $550 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.25% senior notes due 2013 and a solicitation of consents to amend the indenture governing the 7.25% notes. Pursuant to the tender offer and consent solicitation, we purchased $536.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.25% notes, and paid an aggregate of $547.7 million in purchase price and consent fees. On September 9, 2010, we redeemed the remaining $13.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.25% notes at a price of 101.813% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 7.25% notes to the redemption date. As of February 28, 2011, we recognized a loss on debt retirement of $29.6 million representing $11.4 million in consent fees, redemption price premium and transaction costs and a write-off of $18.2 million of unamortized debt discount and original issuance costs associated with the 7.25% notes.
Other.Principal payments due on long-term debt, excluding capital lease and other contract obligations, during each of the five years subsequent to February 29, 2012 are $0.4 million, $0.4 million, $0.4 million, $0.5 million and $0.4 million. The total amount of interest incurred was $17.0 million and $17.3 million in the three-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively, of which $8.5 million and $7.6 million was capitalized. The total amount of interest incurred was $51.4 million and $49.0 million in the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively, of which $24.6 million and $11.0 million was capitalized. The total amount of interest paid in cash was $66.0 million and $59.9 million in the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively.
Guarantee of Joint Venture Debt.We have guaranteed 50%, or $13.0 million, of an unconsolidated joint venture’s debt which matures November 18, 2013. The joint venture was in compliance with all the terms of the debt as of February 29, 2012. See further discussion of the joint venture underInvestment in Joint Venture in note 1.

4. Commitments
During October 2007, we commenced construction on a project to expand our Hunter, Texas cement plant. In May 2009 we temporarily halted construction on the project because we believed that economic and market conditions made it unlikely that cement demand levels in Texas at that time would permit the new kiln to operate profitably if the project was completed as originally scheduled. We resumed construction in October 2010. The total capital cost of the project is expected to be between $365 million and $375 million, excluding capitalized interest, and commissioning is expected to begin within 24 months of the restart of construction. As of February 29, 2012, we have incurred approximately $343.8 million, excluding capitalized interest of approximately $59.6 million related to the project, of which $336.4 million has been paid.
5. Shareholders’ Equity
There are authorized 100,000 shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, no par value, of which 20,000 shares are designated $5 Cumulative Preferred Stock (Voting), redeemable at $105 per share and entitled to $100 per share upon dissolution. An additional 40,000 shares are designated Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is not redeemable and ranks, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, junior to (i) all other series of the Preferred Stock unless the terms of any other series shall provide otherwise and (ii) the $5 Cumulative Preferred Stock. No shares of $5 Cumulative Preferred Stock or Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock were outstanding as of February 29, 2012.
6. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Texas Industries, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2004 Plan”) provides that, in addition to other types of awards, non-qualified and incentive stock options to purchase Common Stock may be granted to employees and non-employee directors at market prices at date of grant. In addition, non-qualified and incentive stock options remain outstanding under our 1993 Stock Option Plan.
Options become exercisable in installments beginning one year after the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant. The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Options with graded vesting are valued as single awards and the compensation cost recognized using a straight-line attribution method over the shorter of the vesting period or required service period adjusted for estimated forfeitures. The following table sets forth the information about the weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 and the weighted-average assumptions used for such grants.

Risk-free interest rate | | | | | 1.31 | % | | | | | 2.66 | % |
Expected dividend yield | | | | | .02 | % | | | | | .74 | % |
Expected volatility is based on an analysis of historical volatility of our common stock. Expected option term is the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is derived by analyzing the historical option exercise experience of our optionees. Risk-free interest rate is determined using the implied yield currently available for zero coupon U.S. treasury issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the options. Expected dividend yield is based on the approved annual dividend rate in effect and the market price of our common stock at the time of grant.

7. Retirement Plans
Riverside Defined Benefit Plans.Approximately 600 employees and retirees of our subsidiary, Riverside Cement Company, are covered by a defined benefit pension plan and a postretirement health benefit plan. Unrecognized prior service costs and actuarial gains or losses for these plans are recognized in a systematic manner over the remaining service periods of active employees expected to receive benefits under these plans. The amount of the defined benefit pension plan and postretirement health benefit plan expense charged to costs and expenses for the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, was as follows:

Financial Security Defined Benefit Plans.Substantially all of our executive and certain managerial employees are covered by a series of financial security plans that are non-qualified defined benefit plans. The financial security plans require deferral of a portion of a participant’s salary and provide retirement, death and disability benefits to participants. The financial security plans are unfunded and benefits are paid as they become due. Actuarial gains or losses are recognized when incurred. The amount of financial security plan benefit expense charged to costs and expenses for the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, was as follows:

8. Income Taxes
Income taxes for the interim periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual rate. The tax rate differs from the 35% federal statutory corporate rate primarily due to percentage depletion that is tax deductible, state income taxes and valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. The estimated annualized rate does not include the tax impact of the loss on debt retirements which was recognized as a discrete item in the nine-month period ended February 28, 2011. The estimated annualized rate excluding this charge is 2.5% for fiscal year 2012 compared to 40.2% for fiscal year 2011. We received income tax refunds of less than $0.1 million and made income tax payments of $0.1 million in the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012. We received income tax refunds of $13.1 million and made income tax payments of less than $0.1 million in the nine-month period ended February 28, 2011.
Net deferred tax assets totaled $16.3 million at February 29, 2012 and $15.0 million at May 31, 2011, of which $15.0 million at February 29, 2012 and $12.3 million at May 31, 2011 were classified as current. Management reviews our deferred tax position and in particular our deferred tax assets whenever circumstances indicate that the assets may not be realized in the future and would record a valuation allowance unless such deferred tax assets were deemed more likely than not to be recoverable. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets depends upon various factors including the generation of taxable income during future periods. The Company’s deferred tax assets exceeded deferred tax liabilities as of February 29, 2012 primarily as a result of the recent losses. Management has concluded that the sources of taxable income we are permitted to consider do not assure the realization of the entire amount of the increase in our net deferred tax assets expected during the year. Accordingly, a valuation allowance is required due to the uncertainty of realizing the deferred tax assets.
The amount of income tax we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal and state authorities which may result in proposed assessments. We adjust reserves for our uncertain tax positions due to changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, judicial rulings, refinement of estimates, or realization of earnings or deductions that differ from our estimates. To the extent that the final outcome of a matter differs from the amount recorded, such difference generally will impact our provision for income taxes in the period that includes its final resolution. We have no significant reserves for uncertain tax positions including related interest and penalties.
In addition to our federal income tax return, we file income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to income tax examinations by federal or state tax authorities for years prior to 2007. Our federal income tax returns for 2007 through 2010 are currently under examination. We do not anticipate that any adjustments that may result from this examination would have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

9. Legal Proceedings and Contingent Liabilities
We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws, regulations and permits concerning, among other matters, air emissions and wastewater discharge. We intend to comply with these laws, regulations and permits. However, from time to time we receive claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and entities asserting that we are or may be in violation of certain of these laws, regulations and permits, or from private parties alleging that our operations have injured them or their property. It is possible that we could be held liable for future charges which might be material but are not currently known or estimable. In addition, changes in federal or state laws, regulations or requirements or discovery of currently unknown conditions could require additional expenditures by us.
In March 2008, the South Coast Air Quality Management District, or SCAQMD, informed one of our subsidiaries, Riverside Cement Company (Riverside), that it believed that operations at the Crestmore cement plant in Riverside, California caused the level of hexavalent chromium, or chrome 6, in the air in the vicinity of the plant to be elevated above ambient air levels. Chrome 6 has been identified by the State of California as a carcinogen. Riverside immediately began taking steps, in addition to its normal dust control procedures, to reduce dust from plant operations and eliminate the use of open clinker stockpiles. In February 2008, the SCAQMD placed an air monitoring station at the downwind property line closest to the open clinker stockpiles. In the SCAQMD’s first public report of the results of its monitoring, over the period of February 12 to April 9, 2008, the average level of chrome 6 was 2.43 nanograms per cubic meter, or ng/m³. Since that time, the average level has decreased. The average levels of chrome 6 reported by the SCAQMD at all of the air monitoring stations in areas around the plant, including the station at the property line, are below 1.0 ng/m³ over the entire period of time it has operated the stations. The SCAQMD compared the level of exposure at the air monitor on our property line with the following employee exposure standards established by regulatory agencies:
| | | | | | |
Occupational Safety and Health Administration | | | 5,000 ng/m³ | | | |
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health | | | 1,000 ng/m³ | | | |
California Environmental Protection Agency | | | 200 ng/m³ | | | |
In public meetings conducted by the SCAQMD, it stated that the risk of long term exposure immediately adjacent to the plant is similar to living close to a busy freeway or rail yard, and it estimated an increased risk of 250 to 500 cancers per one million people, assuming continuous exposure for 70 years. Riverside has not determined how this particular risk number was calculated by SCAQMD. However, theRiverside Press Enterprise reported in a May 30, 2008 story that “John Morgan, a public health and epidemiology professor at Loma Linda University, said he looked at cancer cases reported from 1996 to 2005 in the … census [tract] nearest the [plant] and found no excess cases. That includes lung cancer, which is associated with exposure to hexavalent chromium.”
In late April 2008, a lawsuit was filed in Riverside County Superior Court of the State of California styledVirginia Shellman, et al. v. Riverside Cement Holdings Company, et al . The lawsuit against three of our subsidiaries purports to be a class action complaint for medical monitoring for a putative class defined as individuals who were allegedly exposed to chrome 6 emissions from our Crestmore cement plant. The complaint alleges an increased risk of future illness due to the exposure to chrome 6 and other toxic chemicals. The suit requests, among other things, establishment and funding of a medical testing and monitoring program for the class until their exposure to chrome 6 is no longer a threat to their health, as well as punitive and exemplary damages.
Since theShellman lawsuit was filed, five additional putative class action lawsuits have been filed in the same court. The putative class in each of these cases is the same as or a subset of the putative class in theShellman case, and the allegations and requests for relief are similar to those in theShellman case. As a consequence, the court has stayed four of these lawsuits until theShellman lawsuit is finally determined.

Since August 2008, additional lawsuits have been filed in the same court against Texas Industries, Inc. or one or more of our subsidiaries containing allegations of personal injury and wrongful death by approximately 3,000 individual plaintiffs who were allegedly exposed to chrome 6 and other toxic or harmful substances in the air, water and soil caused by emissions from the Crestmore plant. The court has dismissed Texas Industries, Inc. from the suits, and our subsidiaries operating in Texas have been dismissed by agreement with the plaintiffs. Most of our subsidiaries operating in California remain as defendants. The court has dismissed from these suits plaintiffs that failed to provide required information, leaving approximately 2,000 plaintiffs.
Since January 2009, additional lawsuits have been filed against Texas Industries, Inc. or one or more of our subsidiaries in the same court involving similar allegations, causes of action and requests for relief, but with respect to our Oro Grande, California cement plant instead of the Crestmore plant. The suits involve approximately 300 individual plaintiffs. Texas Industries, Inc. and our subsidiaries operating in Texas have been similarly dismissed from these suits. The court has dismissed from these suits plaintiffs that failed to provide required information, leaving approximately 250 plaintiffs. Prior to the filing of the lawsuits, the air quality management district in whose jurisdiction the plant lies conducted air sampling from locations around the plant. None of the samples contained chrome 6 levels above 1.0 ng/m³.
The plaintiffs allege causes of action that are similar from suit to suit. Following dismissal of certain causes of action by the court and amendments by the plaintiffs, the remaining causes of action typically include, among other things, negligence, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress, trespass, public and private nuisance, strict liability, willful misconduct, fraudulent concealment, unfair business practices, wrongful death and loss of consortium. The plaintiffs generally request, among other things, general and punitive damages, medical expenses, loss of earnings, property damages and medical monitoring costs. At the date of this report, none of the plaintiffs in these cases has alleged in their pleadings any specific amount or range of damages. Some of the suits include additional defendants, such as the owner of another cement plant located approximately four miles from the Crestmore plant or former owners of the Crestmore and Oro Grande plants. We will vigorously defend all of these suits but we cannot predict what liability, if any, could arise from them. We also cannot predict whether any other suits may be filed against us alleging damages due to injuries to persons or property caused by claimed exposure to chrome 6.
We are defendants in other lawsuits that arose in the ordinary course of business. In our judgment the ultimate liability, if any, from such legal proceedings will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
10. Business Segments
We have three business segments: cement, aggregates and consumer products. Our business segments are managed separately along product lines. Through the cement segment we produce and sell gray portland cement as our principal product, as well as specialty cements. Through the aggregates segment we produce and sell stone, sand and gravel as our principal products, as well as expanded shale and clay lightweight aggregates. Through the consumer products segment we produce and sell ready-mix concrete as our principal product, as well as packaged concrete mix, mortar, sand and related products. We account for intersegment sales at market prices. Segment operating profit consists of net sales less operating costs and expenses. Corporate includes those administrative, financial, legal, human resources, environmental and real estate activities which are not allocated to operations and are excluded from segment operating profit. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in each segment’s operation. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, real estate and other financial assets not identified with a business segment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Texas Industries, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of February 29, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of May 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended [not presented herein], and in our report dated July 15, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2011, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
When used in this report the terms “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean Texas Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We are a leading supplier of heavy construction materials in the southwestern United States through our three business segments: cement, aggregates and consumer products. Our principal products are gray portland cement, produced and sold through our cement segment; stone, sand and gravel, produced and sold through our aggregates segment; and ready-mix concrete, produced and sold through our consumer products segment. Other products include expanded shale and clay lightweight aggregates, produced and sold through our aggregates segment, and packaged concrete mix, mortar, sand and related products, produced and sold through our consumer products segment. Our facilities are concentrated primarily in Texas, Louisiana and California.
Management uses segment operating profit as its principal measure to assess performance and to allocate resources. Business segment operating profit consists of net sales less operating costs and expenses that are directly attributable to the segment. Corporate includes non-operating income and expenses related to administrative, financial, legal, human resources, environmental and real estate activities.
During the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012, construction activity remained at low levels in both our California and Texas market areas. We have continued to focus on cost reduction, management of our cash position and management of production levels, which we believe has had a significant positive impact on our operating results.
In April 2011 we entered into an asset exchange transaction in which we acquired the ready-mix operations of Transit Mix Concrete and Materials Company, a subsidiary of Trinity Industries, Inc., that serve the central Texas market from north of San Antonio to Hillsboro, Texas. In exchange for the ready-mix facilities, we transferred to Trinity Materials, Inc., also a subsidiary of Trinity Industries, Inc., our aggregate operations at the Anacoco sand and gravel plant, which serves the southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas markets, and the Paradise and Beckett sand and gravel plants, which both serve the north Texas market. In July 2011 we entered into an asset exchange transaction in which we acquired the ready-mix and aggregate operations of CEMEX USA that serve the Austin, Texas metropolitan market. In exchange for the three ready-mix plants and one sand and gravel plant, we transferred to CEMEX USA certain of our ready-mix operations in Houston, Texas. With the completion of this transaction we have exited the Houston, Texas ready-mix market. The operating results of the acquired ready-mix and sand and gravel operations are reported in our consumer products and aggregate segments, respectively.
In November 2011 we entered into a joint venture agreement with a ready-mix operator based in Waco, Texas to which we contributed seven of our central Texas ready-mix plants and certain related assets and guaranteed 50%, or $13.0 million, of the joint venture’s debt which matures November 18, 2013. In addition to our 50% guarantee of the joint venture’s debt, 100% of the debt is guaranteed by the other partner and secured by the underlying assets of the joint venture. The joint venture was in compliance with all the terms of the debt as of February 29, 2012. Subject to a final determination of the fair value, our 40% equity interest in the joint venture was recorded at the $3.9 million carrying amount of the assets contributed, and therefore no gain or loss was recognized in the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012. Because the assets contributed were recently acquired any future gain or loss is not expected to be significant. The day to day business operations are managed by the 60% partner in the venture. The joint venture will operate a total of nineteen ready-mix and two sand and gravel plants serving the central Texas market. We will continue to supply cement to the joint venture. The joint venture operations are reported in our consumer products segment using the equity method of accounting.
Consolidated sales for the three-month period ended February 29, 2012 were $134.6 million, an increase of $8.8 million from the prior year period. Consolidated cost of products sold for the three-month period ended February 29, 2012 was $133.9 million, a decrease of $1.3 million from the prior year period. Sales increased $0.2 million and cost of products sold increased $0.2 million due to the net effect of the exchanges of ready-mix concrete and aggregate operating assets completed in April and July 2011. Sales increased $8.6 million, excluding the effect of the exchanges, primarily due to higher shipments for all of our major products and higher cement and ready-mix concrete sales prices. Cost of products sold, excluding the effect of the asset exchanges, decreased $1.5 million primarily due to higher clinker production which offset the effect of higher shipments. Consolidated gross profit for the three-month periods ended February 29, 2012 was $0.7 million. Consolidated gross loss for the three-month period ended February 28, 2011 was $9.4 million.
- 27 -
Consolidated sales for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012 were $472.4 million, an increase of $26.4 million from the prior year period. Consolidated cost of products sold for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012 was $455.1 million, an increase of $27.9 million from the prior year period. Sales increased $8.0 million and cost of products sold increased $8.3 million due to the net effect of the exchanges of ready-mix concrete and aggregate operating assets completed in April and July 2011. Sales increased $18.4 million, excluding the effect of the exchanges, primarily due to higher cement shipments and sales prices. Cost of products sold, excluding the effect of the asset exchanges, increased $19.6 million primarily due to higher cement shipments offset in part by higher clinker production. Consolidated gross profit for the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 was $17.3 million and $18.8 million, respectively.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense for the three-month period ended February 29, 2012 was $18.4 million, an increase of $1.1 million from the prior year period primarily due to $1.0 million higher stock-based compensation expense. Our stock-based compensation includes awards expected to be settled in cash, the expense for which is based on their fair value at the end of each period until the awards are paid. The impact of changes in our stock price on the fair value of these awards increased expense $1.7 million and $0.7 million for the three-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012 was $50.1 million, a decrease of $1.9 million from the prior year period primarily due to $2.6 million lower stock-based compensation expense and $1.2 million lower provisions for bad debts offset in part by $1.7 million higher provisions for insurance claims. Our stock-based compensation includes awards expected to be settled in cash, the expense for which is based on their fair value at the end of each period until the awards are paid. The impact of changes in our stock price on the fair value of these awards decreased expense $2.1 million for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012 and increased expense $0.8 million for the nine-month period ended February 28, 2011.
Consolidated restructuring charges of $3.2 million were recorded in the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012, of which $2.5 million has been paid. These charges consist primarily of severance and benefit costs associated with various workforce reduction initiatives.
Consolidated other income for the three-month period ended February 29, 2012 was $1.3 million, an increase of $0.2 million from the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to $1.1 million higher gains from routine sales of surplus operating assets offset in part by $0.3 million equity in losses of joint venture and $0.5 million lower royalties and oil and gas lease bonus payments.
Consolidated other income for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012 was $8.7 million, an increase of $0.8 million from the prior year period. The July 2011 asset exchange resulted in the recognition of a gain of $2.1 million in the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012. Sales of emission credits associated with our Crestmore cement plant in Riverside, California resulted in gains of $2.5 million and $1.7 million in the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively. These gains were offset in part by $0.3 million equity in losses of joint venture and $1.7 million lower royalties and oil and gas lease bonus payments.
Total segment operating loss for the three-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 was $6.4 million and $17.2 million, respectively. Total segment operating loss for the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 was $5.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively. The following is a summary of operating results for our business segments and certain other information related to our principal products and non-operating income and expenses.

Cement operating loss for the three-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 was $2.4 million and $12.4 million, respectively. The operating results in the current period were impacted by higher cement shipments and average sales prices and lower cost of products sold due to higher clinker production.

Interest
Interest expense incurred for the three-month period ended February 29, 2012 was $17.0 million, of which $8.5 million was capitalized in connection with our Hunter, Texas cement plant expansion project and $8.5 million was expensed. Interest expense incurred for the three-month period ended February 28, 2011 was $17.3 million, of which $7.6 million was capitalized in connection with our Hunter, Texas cement plant expansion project and $9.7 million was expensed.
Interest expense incurred for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012 was $51.4 million, of which $24.6 million was capitalized in connection with our Hunter, Texas cement plant expansion project and $26.8 million was expensed. Interest expense incurred for the nine-month period ended February 28, 2011 was $49.0 million, of which $11.0 million was capitalized in connection with our Hunter, Texas cement plant expansion project and $38.0 million was expensed.
Interest expense incurred for the three-month period ended February 29, 2012 decreased $0.3 million from the prior year period primarily as a result of lower credit facility fees. Interest expense incurred for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012 increased $2.4 million from the prior year period primarily as a result of higher average outstanding debt at higher interest rates due to the August 2010 refinancing of our senior notes.
An additional $10 million of interest expense is estimated to be capitalized in connection with our Hunter, Texas cement plant expansion project during the remainder of our current fiscal year.
Loss on Debt Retirements
On July 27, 2010, we commenced a cash tender offer for all of the outstanding $550 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.25% senior notes due 2013 and a solicitation of consents to amend the indenture governing the 7.25% notes. Pursuant to the tender offer and consent solicitation, we purchased $536.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.25% notes, and paid an aggregate of $547.7 million in purchase price and consent fees. On September 9, 2010, we redeemed the remaining $13.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.25% notes at a price of 101.813% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 7.25% notes to the redemption date. We used the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of $650 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.25% senior notes to pay the purchase or redemption price of the 7.25% notes and the consent fees and to increase working capital. As of February 28, 2011, we recognized a loss on debt retirement of $29.6 million representing $11.4 million in consent fees, redemption price premium and transaction costs and a write-off of $18.2 million of unamortized debt discount and original issuance costs associated with the 7.25% notes.

Income Taxes
Income taxes for the interim periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual rate. The tax rate differs from the 35% federal statutory corporate rate primarily due to percentage depletion that is tax deductible, state income taxes and valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. The estimated annualized rate does not include the tax impact of the loss on debt retirements which was recognized as a discrete item in the nine-month period ended February 28, 2011. The estimated annualized rate excluding this charge is 2.5% for fiscal year 2012 compared to 40.2% for fiscal year 2011. We received income tax refunds of less than $0.1 million and made income tax payments of $0.1 million in the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012. We received income tax refunds of $13.1 million and made income tax payments of less than $0.1 million in the nine-month period ended February 28, 2011.
Net deferred tax assets totaled $16.3 million at February 29, 2012 and $15.0 million at May 31, 2011, of which $15.0 million at February 29, 2012 and $12.3 million at May 31, 2011 were classified as current. Management reviews our deferred tax position and in particular our deferred tax assets whenever circumstances indicate that the assets may not be realized in the future and would record a valuation allowance unless such deferred tax assets were deemed more likely than not to be recoverable. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets depends upon various factors including the generation of taxable income during future periods. The Company’s deferred tax assets exceeded deferred tax liabilities as of February 29, 2012 primarily as a result of the recent losses. Management has concluded that the sources of taxable income we are permitted to consider do not assure the realization of the entire amount of the increase in our net deferred tax assets expected during the year. Accordingly, a valuation allowance is required due to the uncertainty of realizing the deferred tax assets.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In addition to cash and cash equivalents of $27.2 million at February 29, 2012, our sources of liquidity include cash from operations and borrowings available under our senior secured revolving credit facility.
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility. On August 25, 2011, we amended and restated our credit agreement and the associated security agreement. The credit agreement continues to provide for a $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a $50 million sub-limit for letters of credit and a $15 million sub-limit for swing line loans. The credit facility matures on August 25, 2016. Amounts drawn under the credit facility bear annual interest either at the LIBOR rate plus a margin of 2.0% to 2.75% or at a base rate plus a margin of 1.0% to 1.75%. The base rate is the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, the prime rate established by Bank of America, N.A. or the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%. The interest rate margins are determined based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. The commitment fee calculated on the unused portion of the credit facility ranges from 0.375% to 0.50% per year based on the Company’s average daily loan balance. We may terminate the credit facility at any time.
The amount that can be borrowed under the credit facility is limited to an amount called the borrowing base. The borrowing base may be less than the $200 million stated principal amount of the credit facility. The borrowing base is calculated based on the value of our accounts receivable, inventory and mobile equipment in which the lenders have a security interest. In addition, by mortgaging tracts of its real property to the lenders, the Company may increase the borrowing base by an amount beginning at $20 million and declining to $10.7 million at the maturity of the credit facility.
The borrowing base under the agreement was $135.3 million as of February 29, 2012. We are not required to maintain any financial ratios or covenants unless an event of default occurs or the unused portion of the borrowing base is less than $25 million, in which case we must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0. At February 29, 2012, our fixed charge coverage ratio was (.62) to 1.0. Given this ratio, we may use only $110.3 million of the borrowing base as of such date. No borrowings were outstanding at February 29, 2012; however, $25.5 million of the borrowing base was used to support letters of credit. As a result, the maximum amount we could borrow as of February 29, 2012 was $84.8 million.
All of our consolidated subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the credit facility. The credit facility is secured by first priority security interests in all or most of our existing and future consolidated accounts, inventory, equipment, intellectual property and other personal property, and in all of our equity interests in present and future domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the equity interest in any future foreign subsidiaries, if any.
- 35 -
The credit agreement contains a number of covenants restricting, among other things, prepayment or redemption of our senior notes, distributions and dividends on and repurchases of our capital stock, acquisitions and investments, indebtedness, liens and affiliate transactions. We are permitted to pay cash dividends on our common stock as long as the credit facility is not in default, the fixed charge coverage ratio is greater than 1.0 to 1.0 and borrowing availability under the borrowing base is more than $40 million. When our fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0, we are permitted to pay cash dividends on our common stock not to exceed $2.5 million in any single instance (which shall not occur more than four times in any calendar year) or $10 million in the aggregate during any calendar year as long as the credit facility is not in default and borrowing availability is more than the greater of $60 million or 30% of the aggregate commitments of all lenders. For this purpose, borrowing availability is equal to the borrowing base less the amount of outstanding borrowings less the amount used to support letters of credit. We were in compliance with all of our loan covenants as of February 29, 2012.
9.25% Senior Notes.On August 10, 2010, we sold $650 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.25% senior notes due 2020 at an offering price of 100%. The notes were issued under an indenture dated as of August 10, 2010. The net proceeds were used to purchase or redeem all of our outstanding 7.25% senior notes due 2013, with additional proceeds available for general corporate purposes.
At February 29, 2012, we had $650 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior notes outstanding. Under the indenture, at any time on or prior to August 15, 2015, we may redeem the notes at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest and a make-whole premium. On and after August 15, 2015, we may redeem all or a part of the notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 15 of the years indicated below:
| | | | |
Year | | Percentage | |
2015 | | | 104.625% | |
2016 | | | 103.083% | |
2017 | | | 101.542% | |
2018 and thereafter | | | 100.000% | |
In addition, prior to August 15, 2013, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price equal to 109.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. If we experience a change of control, we may be required to offer to purchase the notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest.
All of our consolidated subsidiaries have unconditionally guaranteed the 9.25% senior notes. The indenture governing the notes contains affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit our and our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends on or redeem or repurchase stock, make certain investments, incur additional debt or sell preferred stock, create liens, restrict dividend payments or other payments from subsidiaries to the Company, engage in consolidations and mergers or sell or transfer assets, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, engage in transactions with affiliates, and sell stock in our subsidiaries. We are not required to maintain any affirmative financial ratios or covenants. We were in compliance with all of our covenants as of February 29, 2012.
Guarantee of Joint Venture Debt.We have guaranteed 50%, or $13.0 million, of an unconsolidated joint venture’s debt which matures November 18, 2013. The joint venture was in compliance with all the terms of the debt as of February 29, 2012.
Contractual Obligations.As of February 29, 2012, there have been no material changes to our material contractual obligations described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2011.
During October 2007, we commenced construction on a project to expand our Hunter, Texas cement plant. In May 2009 we temporarily halted construction on the project because we believed that economic and market conditions made it unlikely that cement demand levels in Texas at that time would permit the new kiln to operate profitably if the project was completed as originally scheduled. We resumed construction in October 2010. The total capital cost of the project is expected to be between $365 million and $375 million, excluding capitalized interest, and commissioning is expected to begin within 24 months of the restart of construction. As of February 29, 2012, we have incurred approximately $343.8 million, excluding capitalized interest of approximately $59.6 million related to the project, of which $336.4 million has been paid.
- 36 -
For the next year, we expect cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations and available borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility to be sufficient to provide funds for capital expenditure commitments currently estimated at $35 million to $45 million, capital expenditures for the Hunter plant expansion, scheduled debt payments, working capital needs and other general corporate purposes.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 was $2.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily the result of changes in working capital items.
Net cash used by investing activities for the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 was $89.1 million and $30.6 million, respectively.
Capital expenditures incurred in connection with the expansion of our Hunter, Texas cement plant were $64.9 million and $23.5 million in the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively, of which $32.3 million and $11.0 million was capitalized interest paid in the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively. Capital expenditures for normal replacement and upgrades of existing equipment and acquisitions to sustain existing operations were $31.4 million and $15.4 million in the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively, of which $18.0 million was incurred to acquire aggregate reserves in the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012.
We have elected to receive distributions from life insurance contracts purchased in connection with certain of our benefit plans. Proceeds from distributions and policy settlements for the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 were $7.3 million and $7.4 million, respectively, which were offset in part by premiums and fees paid to maintain the policies.
Net cash used by financing activities for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012 was $2.3 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine-month period ended February 28, 2011 was $70.8 million.
On July 27, 2010, we commenced a cash tender offer for all of the outstanding $550 million aggregate principal amount of our 7.25% senior notes due 2013 and a solicitation of consents to amend the indenture governing the 7.25% notes. Pursuant to the tender offer and consent solicitation, we purchased $536.6 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.25% notes, and paid an aggregate of $547.7 million in purchase price and consent fees. On September 9, 2010, we redeemed the remaining $13.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 7.25% notes at a price of 101.813% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 7.25% notes to the redemption date. We used the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of $650 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.25% senior notes to pay the purchase or redemption price of the 7.25% notes and the consent fees and to increase working capital. As of February 28, 2011, we recognized a loss on debt retirement of $29.6 million representing $11.4 million in consent fees, redemption price premium and transaction costs and a write-off of $18.2 million of unamortized debt discount and original issuance costs associated with the 7.25% notes.
Dividends paid on our common stock were $2.1 million and $6.3 million in the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, respectively. On October 12, 2011, the Company suspended payment of its quarterly cash dividend.
OTHER ITEMS
Environmental Matters
We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws, regulations and permits concerning, among other matters, air emissions and wastewater discharge. We intend to comply with these laws, regulations and permits. However, from time to time we receive claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and entities asserting that we are or may be in violation of certain of these laws, regulations and permits, or from private parties alleging that our operations have injured them or their property. See Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented in Part I, Item 1 of this report for a description of certain claims. It is possible that we could be held liable for future charges which might be material but are not currently known or estimable. In addition, changes in federal or state laws, regulations or requirements or discovery of currently unknown conditions could require additional expenditures by us.
- 37 -
Market Risk
Historically, we have not entered into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Because of the short duration of our investments, changes in market interest rates would not have a significant impact on their fair value. The fair value of fixed rate debt will vary as interest rates change.
The estimated fair value of each class of financial instrument as of February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2011 approximates its carrying value except for long-term debt having fixed interest rates. The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based on broker/dealer quoted market prices. As of February 29, 2012, the fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was approximately $628.5 million compared to the carrying amount of $654.5 million. As of May 31, 2011, the fair value of our long-term debt, including the current portion, was approximately $691.5 million compared to the carrying amount of $652.5 million.
Our operations require large amounts of energy and are dependent upon energy sources, including electricity and fossil fuels. Prices for energy are subject to market forces largely beyond our control. We have generally not entered into any long-term contracts to satisfy our fuel and electricity needs, with the exception of coal which we purchase from specific mines pursuant to long-term contracts. However, we continually monitor these markets and we may decide in the future to enter into additional long-term contracts. If we are unable to meet our requirements for fuel and electricity, we may experience interruptions in our production. Price increases or disruption of the uninterrupted supply of these products could adversely affect our results of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Changes in the facts and circumstances could have a significant impact on the resulting financial statements. The critical accounting policies that affect the more complex judgments and estimates are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2011.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
There is no recently issued accounting guidance that we expect will materially impact our financial statements during the current fiscal year.
