Notes
Net leverage adjusted for acquisitions (non-GAAP) ended at 1.9x. The company completed acquisitions of Foley Products Company, LLC and Concrete Pipe and Precast, LLC (referred to as precast acquisitions). The release states precast adjusted EBITDA fell below management expectations in Q4 due to regional residential softness. Modified consolidated EBITDA calculation includes $15.4 million adjustment for litigation-related interest expense, eliminates precast actual results since acquisition dates, and includes $212 million annualized precast EBITDA contribution. The company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $778.9 million as of August 31, 2026.
