Martin Marietta cuts FY earnings outlook on Blue Water deal impact
Aug 8, 2024 5:07 AM

(Reuters) - Building material supplier Martin Marietta cut its forecast for full-year 2024 revenue and net earnings on Thursday to account for a charge related to its acquisition of Blue Water Industries' units.

Earlier this year, Martin Marietta said it would acquire 20 active aggregates operations of Blue Water for $2.05 billion in cash, as it sought to boost its construction supply.

The company now expects full-year revenue between $6.5 billion and $6.94 billion, compared to a prior range of $6.9 billion to $7.3 billion.

For the full year, it expects net earnings between $2.03 billion and $2.17 billion, compared with its prior expectation of $2.21 billion and $2.30 billion.

Additionally, adverse weather conditions in Texas and parts of the Midwest, coupled with ongoing restrictive monetary policy, curtailed the North Carolina-based company's volumes during the second quarter.

The company earned a profit of $4.76 per share in the reported quarter, lower than analysts' estimates of $5.36 per share, according to LSEG data.
