TXI Business Combination

On July 1, 2014, pursuant to the merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of January 27, 2014 by and among the Corporation, Project Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (“Merger Sub”), and TXI, Merger Sub merged with and into TXI, with TXI surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of TXI common stock (other than shares owned by TXI, the Corporation or Merger Sub, which were cancelled) was converted into 0.70 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. The Corporation issued 20,309,000 shares of its common stock to former TXI stockholders in connection with the Merger. Based on the Corporation’s closing stock price on July 1, 2014 of $132.00, the aggregate value of the Corporation’s common stock delivered to former TXI stockholders was $2,680,788,000. Additionally, the fair value of outstanding TXI stock options and stock appreciation rights that were converted into Martin Marietta stock awards at the acquisition date of $71,085,000 and shares withheld for income tax obligations were components of the total consideration, which was $2,756,934,000.

TXI was the largest producer of cement in Texas and a major cement producer in California. TXI was also a major supplier of construction aggregate, ready mixed concrete and concrete products. The combination expands the Corporation’s geographic footprint and positions the Corporation to benefit from the strength of the combined aggregates platform.

The Corporation has determined preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Although initial accounting for the business combination has been recorded, these amounts are subject to change based on the final valuation report and additional reviews performed, such as asset verification. Specific accounts subject to ongoing purchase accounting adjustments include but are not limited to inventory; property, plant and equipment; other assets; goodwill; accounts payable and accrued expenses and deferred taxes. Therefore, the measurement period remains open as of September 30, 2014. The following is a summary of the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed (dollars in thousands).

Real estate and other investments include property held for resale and a noncontrolling interest in a joint venture.

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The goodwill was generated by the synergies the transaction provides, including overhead savings, purchasing leverage generated by a larger company, benefits of the existing long-haul transportation system, and cost savings achieved through increased vertical integration of the business. None of the goodwill generated by the transaction will be deductible for income tax purposes.

Total revenues and earnings from operations included in the consolidated earnings statements attributable to TXI operations as of September 30, 2014 are $287,587,000 and $18,755,000, respectively.

Business development and acquisition integration expenses related to the TXI acquisition were $73,968,000 and $88,959,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma financial information in the table below summarizes the combined results of operations for the Corporation and TXI as though the companies were combined as of January 1, 2013. Transactions between Martin Marietta and TXI during the periods presented in the pro forma financial statements have been eliminated as if Martin Marietta and TXI were consolidated affiliates during the periods.
