Vulcan Materials Company reported its second-quarter 2025 results on July 31, 2025, with total revenues increasing 4.4% year-over-year to $2,102 million. Despite this growth, the company missed market revenue expectations. Net earnings attributable to Vulcan rose 4.2% to $321 million, or $2.43 per diluted share, while adjusted diluted EPS of $2.45 was 2.8% below analysts' consensus estimates.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased 9.5% to $660 million, with the Adjusted EBITDA margin expanding 150 basis points to 31.4%. The aggregates segment's cash gross profit per ton grew 9% to $11.88 per ton, marking the tenth consecutive quarter of double-digit compounding improvement on a trailing-twelve months basis. This profitability was achieved despite a 1% decrease in aggregates shipments, primarily due to significant rainfall in key Southeastern markets.
Freight-adjusted selling prices for aggregates increased 5% to $22.11 per ton, demonstrating continued pricing discipline. The company reaffirmed its full-year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $2.35 billion to $2.55 billion, indicating confidence in its ability to navigate challenges and capitalize on an acceleration in new highway construction activity in its markets.
