“Summit is at an exciting and pivotal point in our company’s history,” commented Anne Noonan, Summit Materials President and CEO. “Our team has effectively capitalized on dynamic, yet constructive market conditions to drive record revenue and profitability. And we’re building on our record setting performance by swiftly and safely advancing our Argos integration – a move that we expect will only strengthen our materials-led business. For 2024, with an improved footprint and increased scale we anticipate delivering another year of strong growth and returns. Our positive outlook is supported by robust commercial conditions, an improving demand backdrop, and a full set of growth opportunities that are unique to Summit Materials. Crucially, our high-quality execution, financial performance, and strategic focus has afforded us the balance sheet flexibility to continue our pursuit of value-accretive capital allocation priorities. Today and moving forward, we firmly believe Summit is very well-positioned to generate superior value creation for our shareholders.” 

2024 Guidance

For the full year 2024, Summit is currently projecting Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $950 million to $1,010 million and expects 2024 capital expenditures of approximately $430 million to $470 million.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section for more information. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, we have not provided reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP measures. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Full Year 2023 | Total Company Results

Net revenue increased $220.7 million, or 9.9%, in 2023 to $2.4 billion, as strong pricing across all lines of business and contributions from acquisitions more than offset lower volumes and the impact of divestitures.

Operating income increased $41.6 million, or 15.5% in 2023 to $310.6 million, as higher revenue more than offset increases in cost of revenue, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, general and administrative expenses, and transaction costs. Summit’s operating margin percentage for 2023 increased to 12.7% from 12.1% in 2022, due to the factors noted above.

Net income attributable to Summit Inc. increased to $285.9 million, or $2.40 per basic share, compared to $272.1 million, or $2.27 per basic share, in the comparable prior year period. Summit reported adjusted diluted net income of $189.4 million, or $1.58 per adjusted diluted share, as compared to $153.9 million, or $1.27 per adjusted diluted share, in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $86.5 million, or 17.6%, to $578.0 million, due primarily to a strong pricing environment and, to a lesser extent, contributions from acquisitions.

Fourth Quarter 2023 | Total Company Results

Net revenue increased $101.5 million, or 19.8% in the fourth quarter to $613.1 million, as average sales prices across all lines of business increased.

Operating income increased $3.4 million, or 5.3% in the fourth quarter to $68.5 million, driven by increases in average sales price that more than offset a combination of inflationary increases in cost of revenue, higher general and administrative expenses, and increased transaction and integration costs versus the prior year period. Summit’s operating margin percentage for the three months ended December 30, 2023, decreased to 11.2% from 12.7%, from the comparable period a year ago primarily reflecting the aforementioned transaction and integration costs related to the Argos USA transaction.

Net income attributable to Summit Inc. increased to $3.0 million, or $0.02 per basic share, compared to $29.8 million, or $0.25 per basic share in the comparable prior year period. Summit reported adjusted diluted net income of $37.8 million, or $0.31 per adjusted diluted share, compared to $38.3 million, or $0.32 per adjusted diluted share, in the prior year period. 

Adjusted EBITDA increased $17.3 million, or 14.5%, to $136.5 million primarily reflecting strong pricing across all lines of business.

Subsequent to year end, the proceeds were released and used to consummate the Argos USA transaction.  

In January 2024, the Company amended the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, which among other things established new term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1,010 million and extended the maturity date for the Term Loan Facility to January 2029. The proceeds of the new term loans were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration in connection with the Argos USA closing, refinance the existing term loans outstanding and pay fees, commissions and expenses. Additionally, the Company amended its senior secured revolving credit facility, increasing the total availability from $395 million to $625 million. The Company’s $625 million revolving credit facility has $604.1 million available after outstanding letters of credit.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulates the use of “non-GAAP financial measures,” such as Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Cash Gross Profit, Adjusted Cash Gross Profit Margin, and Free Cash Flow which are derived on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We have provided these measures because, among other things, we believe that they provide investors with additional information to measure our performance, evaluate our ability to service our debt and evaluate certain flexibility under our restrictive covenants. Our Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Cash Gross Profit, Adjusted Cash Gross Profit Margin, and Free Cash Flow may vary from the use of such terms by others and should not be considered as alternatives to or more important than net income (loss), operating income (loss), revenue or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of operating performance or to cash flows as measures of liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and other non-GAAP measures have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA are that these measures do not reflect: (i) our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (iii) interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest and principal payments on our debt; and (iv) income tax payments we are required to make. Because of these limitations, we rely primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and other non-GAAP measures on a supplemental basis.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Cash Gross Profit, Adjusted Cash Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow reflect additional ways of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to U.S. GAAP financial measures included in the tables attached to this press release, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release are included in the attached tables.
