Martin Marietta Materials Announces First Quarter Results

摘要

Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. Ward Nye, president and CEO of Martin Marietta Materials, stated, "Due to a more normal winter weather pattern, and in fact, more severe and extended in some parts of the country, aggregates shipments declined 8.8 percent compared with the prior-year quarter. The prior year benefitted from an unseasonably warm winter, accelerating the start of construction projects in many of our markets into the first quarter. The decline in aggregates volumes directly correlated to the gross profit reduction.
