NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of U.S. Concrete, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "we," "us," "our," the "Company," or "U.S. Concrete") and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for reporting interim financial information. Some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the "2017 Form 10-K"). In the opinion of our management, all material adjustments necessary to state fairly the information in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. All adjustments are of a normal or recurring nature. All amounts are presented in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions that we consider significant in the preparation of our financial statements include those related to our allowance for doubtful accounts, business combinations, goodwill, intangible assets, valuation of contingent consideration, accruals for self-insurance programs, income taxes, the valuation of inventory and the valuation and useful lives of property, plant and equipment.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period balances to conform with the current year presentation.


2.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Standards/Updates Adopted This Year

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance that outlines a single comprehensive model for accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, which supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures. We adopted this guidance and related amendments as of January 1, 2018, applying the modified retrospective transition approach to all contracts. Adoption of the new guidance did not result in changes in the amount of revenue recognized or the timing of when such revenue is recognized.

Clarification of the Definition of a Business in Business Combinations. In January 2017, the FASB issued an update under business combinations in an effort to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or as business combinations. The amendments in this update provide a screen to determine when a set of assets is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. Adoption of this standard did not result in any material changes to our statements of cash flows.

Restricted Cash in the Statement of Cash Flows. In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance to reduce diversity in the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The standard has certain disclosure requirements related to restricted cash and requires that restricted cash be included with cash balances in the statement of cash flows. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our statement of cash flows.

U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Standards/Updates Not Yet Adopted

Lease Accounting. In February 2016, the FASB issued a new lease accounting standard intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by reorganizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, measured on a discounted basis, at the commencement date for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. Additionally, this guidance will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases, including qualitative and quantitative requirements. We expect to adopt the guidance using the recently approved transition approach that permits application of the new standard at the adoption date instead of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. We have established a cross-functional coordinated team to implement the standard. The implementation process includes reviewing all leases, performing a completeness assessment over the lease population, analyzing the practical expedients and identifying a new lease accounting technology system. We will also evaluate our processes and internal controls to meet the new accounting, reporting and disclosure requirements. This guidance will be effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2019. Although we have not yet completed our evaluation of the impact on our financial statements, we expect that our adoption of the standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated balance sheet.

For a description of our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements in our 2017 Form 10-K.

3. REVENUE

We derive substantially all of our revenue from the production and delivery of ready-mixed concrete, aggregates and related building materials. Revenue from the sale of these products is recognized when control passes to the customer, which generally occurs at the point in time when products are delivered. We do not deliver product unless we have an order or other documentation authorizing delivery to our customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Sales and other taxes we collect concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items, such as mix formulation and testing services that are immaterial in the context of the revenue contract and completed in close proximity to the revenue-producing activities, are recorded within cost of goods sold as incurred. We generally do not provide post-delivery services, such as paving or finishing. Customer dispute costs are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the end of each period and are estimated by using a combination of historical customer experience and a customer-by-customer analysis.

Amounts billed to customers for delivery costs are classified as a component of total revenue. Our payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. As permitted under U.S. GAAP, we have elected not to assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods to the customer will be one year or less.

See Note 14 for disaggregation of revenue by segment and product as we believe that best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

We do not have any customer contracts that meet the definition of unsatisfied performance obligations in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

4.	BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The accounting for business combinations requires the significant use of estimates and is based on information that was available to management at the time these condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared. The estimates used for determining the fair value of certain liabilities related to acquisitions are considered Level 3 inputs (as defined in Note 8). We utilized recognized valuation techniques, including the income approach, sales approach, and cost approach to value the net assets acquired. See Note 8 for additional information related to contingent consideration obligations, including maximum payout amounts and how the fair value was estimated. Any changes to the provisional business combination accounting will be made as soon as practical, but no later than one year from the respective acquisition dates.

2018 Acquisitions

We completed three acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2018 that expanded our ready-mixed concrete operations in the Atlantic Region (which we define to include New York, New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania), and expanded our ready-mixed concrete and aggregate products operations in West Texas. The aggregate fair value consideration for these acquisitions, which were all accounted for as business combinations, was $60.8 million. The acquisitions included the assets and certain liabilities of the following:


•	On Time Ready Mix, Inc. ("On Time") located in Flushing, New York on January 10, 2018;


•	Cutrell Trucking, LLC., Dumas Concrete, LLC., Pampa Concrete Co., Inc., Panhandle Concrete, LLC., Texas Sand & Gravel Co., Inc. (collectively "Golden Spread") located in Amarillo, Texas on March 2, 2018; and


•	One individually immaterial ready-mixed concrete operation in our Atlantic Region on March 5, 2018.

The aggregate fair value consideration for these three acquisitions included $59.9 million in cash and fair value contingent consideration of $0.9 million. We funded the cash portion of the 2018 acquisitions through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our Revolving Facility (as defined in Note 7). The combined assets acquired through these 2018 acquisitions included 140 mixer trucks, 19 ready-mix concrete plants and one aggregates facility. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred no transaction costs to effect the 2018 acquisitions. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $0.5 million of transaction costs to effect the 2018 acquisitions, which are included in selling and general administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Our accounting for the 2018 business combinations is preliminary. We expect to record adjustments as we accumulate information needed to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including working capital balances, estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, total consideration and goodwill.

The following table presents the total consideration for the 2018 acquisitions and the preliminary amounts related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values as of the respective acquisition dates (in thousands):



	2018 Acquisitions
Inventory	$	674
Other current assets	77
Property, plant and equipment	30,235
Definite-lived intangible assets	15,450
Total assets acquired	46,436
Total liabilities assumed	153
Goodwill	14,556
Total consideration (fair value) ⁽¹⁾	$	60,839

(1) Included $0.9 million of contingent consideration.

The aggregate fair value consideration for these acquisitions, which were all accounted for as business combinations, was $327.9 million. The acquisitions included the assets and certain liabilities of the following:


•	Corbett Aggregate Companies, LLC. ("Corbett") located in Quinton, New Jersey on April 7, 2017;


•	Harbor Ready-Mix ("Harbor") located in Redwood City, California on September 29, 2017;


•	A-1 Materials, Inc. ("A-1”) and L.C. Frey Company, Inc. ("Frey") (collectively “A-1/Frey”) located in San Carlos, California on September 29, 2017;


•	Action Supply Co., Inc. ("Action Supply") located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 29, 2017;


•	Polaris Materials Corporation ("Polaris") located in British Columbia, Canada on November 17, 2017; and


•	Three individually immaterial acquisitions in December 2017 consisting of two ready-mixed concrete operations and a software company.

The aggregate fair value consideration for these eight acquisitions included $298.4 million in cash, $5.5 million in payments deferred over a four-year period, and fair value contingent consideration of $24.0 million. The combined assets acquired through these 2017 acquisitions included 409 acres of land, two aggregate facilities with approximately 130 million tons of proven aggregates reserves, 51 mixer trucks, seven ready-mix concrete plants and four aggregates distribution terminals. We funded the cash portion of the acquisitions through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our Revolving Facility. Prior to the completion of the Polaris acquisition, we received two promissory notes from Polaris aggregating $18.1 million Canadian dollars, which were reclassified as intercompany loans upon completion of the acquisition and have been eliminated from our consolidated balance sheet. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred $0.5 million and $0.7 million of transaction costs, respectively, to effect the 2017 acquisitions, which are included in selling and general administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Our accounting for the 2017 business combinations is preliminary, except for the Corbett acquisition. We expect to record adjustments as we accumulate information needed to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including working capital balances, estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, adjustments related to determination of the conclusion of tax attributes as of the acquisition date, total consideration and goodwill.

Total	$	22,103

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded $1.1 million and $1.4 million of amortization expense, respectively, related to these intangible assets. We recorded no amortization expense related to these intangible assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

The goodwill ascribed to our acquisitions is related to the synergies we expect to achieve with expansion in the markets in which we already operate as well as entry into new metropolitan areas of our existing geographic markets. The goodwill relates to our ready-mixed concrete, aggregate products and other non-reportable segments. See Note 6 for the allocation of goodwill to our segments. We expect the goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. See Note 9 for additional information regarding income taxes.

Actual Impact of Acquisitions

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded approximately $46.9 million of revenue and $6.2 million of operating income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations related to the 2017 and 2018 acquisitions following their respective dates of acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded approximately $77.2 million of revenue and $6.1 million of operating income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations related to the 2017 and 2018 acquisitions following their respective dates of acquisition. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded approximately $0.5 million of revenue and $0.5 million of operating income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations related to the 2017 acquisitions.

(1)	During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded measurement period adjustments for the 2018 acquisitions of $2.3 million related to additional definite-lived intangible assets.

(2)

The measurement period adjustments for the 2017 acquisitions recorded during 2018 primarily included $2.7 million of additional property, plant, and equipment, $0.3 million of additional definite-lived intangible assets offset by $0.7 million of lower working capital items and other various changes. The measurement period adjustments for the 2017 acquisitions also included a $9.6 million reclassification of goodwill between the aggregate products segment and other non-reportable segments. We re-characterized the results of our Polaris distribution operations, which include shipping and terminal operations, to the aggregate products segment from other non-reportable segments. This change was made to better reflect how the Polaris business is viewed and operated by management and more closely aligns our reporting with how we manage and report our other aggregate products operations.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2018, we had $17.5 million of undrawn standby letters of credit under our senior secured credit facility ("Revolving Facility"). The weighted average interest rate for the facility was 3.53% as of June 30, 2018.

Our actual maximum credit availability under the Revolving Facility varies from time to time and is determined by calculating the value of our eligible accounts receivable, inventory, mixer trucks and machinery, minus reserves imposed by the lenders and certain other adjustments. Our availability under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2018 was $173.6 million. We are required, upon the occurrence of certain events, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 for each period of 12 calendar months. As of June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants under the loan agreement that governs the Revolving Facility.


8.	FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. We review the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy.

(1)	The current portion of contingent consideration is included in accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The long-term portion of contingent consideration is included in other long-term obligations and deferred credits in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following tables present the valuation inputs for the fair value estimates for our three model types of acquisition-related contingent consideration arrangements. We estimate the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration arrangements using a Monte Carlo simulation model, an income approach or a discounted cash flow technique, as appropriate. These fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and thus represent Level 3 inputs.

The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangements is sensitive to changes in the forecasts of earnings and/or the relevant operating metrics and changes in discount rates. The fair value of the contingent consideration is reassessed quarterly based on assumptions used in our latest projections and input provided by practice leaders and management. Any change in the fair value estimate is recorded in our consolidated statement of operations for that period. The use of different estimates and assumptions could increase or decrease the estimated fair value of our contingent consideration liability, which would result in different impacts to our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations.

(1)	Represents the fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the On Time acquisition as of the acquisition date.

Our other financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt. We consider the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable to be representative of their respective fair values because of their short-term maturities or expected settlement dates. The fair value of our 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2024 ("2024 Notes"), which was estimated based on quoted market prices (i.e., Level 2 inputs), was $601.5 million as of June 30, 2018. The carrying value of the outstanding amounts under our Revolving Facility approximates fair value due to the floating interest rate.


9.	INCOME TAXES

We recorded income tax expense of $4.3 million and $5.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. We recorded income tax expense allocated to continuing operations of $6.9 million and $13.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our effective tax rate of 32.3% differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes and adjustments related to the $1.3 million impact of the tax rate change enacted as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). For the six months ended June 30, 2017, our effective tax rate of 73.8% differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes and the impact of a $13.9 million non-cash loss on our now expired warrants, which was recorded with no associated tax benefit.

We record changes in our unrecognized tax benefits based on anticipated federal and state tax filing positions on a quarterly basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we recorded unrecognized tax benefits of $0.2 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

On December 22, 2017, the President signed into law the Tax Act. Shortly after the Tax Act was enacted, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the Tax Act’s impact. This guidance provides a measurement period, which in no case should extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date. As of June 30, 2018, we recorded provisional amounts for the effects of the Tax Act for the Base Erosion Anti-abuse Tax, which is a new minimum tax, and a mechanism to tax global intangible low taxed income. These provisional amounts were immaterial to our consolidated financial statements. We will monitor future guidance set forth by the U.S. Department of Treasury with regard to the new provisions under the Tax Act, and true up provisional amounts as appropriate within the one-year measurement period required under SAB 118.

10.	NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to U.S. Concrete by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to U.S. Concrete by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

The following is a reconciliation of the components of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

Upon finalizing negotiations, we recorded a $1.3 million impairment to write the assets down to their fair value. As of June 30, 2018, other current assets included $3.1 million of property, plant and equipment held for sale and accrued liabilities included $1.2 million of liabilities that will be assumed by the buyers. We closed the sale of the Michigan property on July 2, 2018 and expect to close the sale of the New Jersey property in the third quarter of 2018.


13.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, and currently, we are subject to various claims and litigation brought by employees, customers and other third-parties for, among other matters, personal injuries, property damages, product defects and delay damages that have, or allegedly have, resulted from the conduct of our operations. As a result of these types of claims and litigation, we must periodically evaluate the probability of damages being assessed against us and the range of possible outcomes. In each reporting period, if we determine that the likelihood of damages being assessed against us is probable, and if we believe we can estimate a range of possible outcomes, then we will record a liability. The amount of the liability will be based upon a specific estimate, if we believe a specific estimate to be likely, or it will reflect the low end of our range. Currently, there are no material legal proceedings pending against us.

In the future, we may receive funding deficiency demands related to multi-employer pension plans to which we contribute. We are unable to estimate the amount of any potential future funding deficiency demands because the actions of each of the contributing employers in the plans has an effect on each of the contributing employers and the development of a rehabilitation plan by the trustees and subsequent submittal to and approval by the Internal Revenue Service is not predictable. Further, the allocation of fund assets and return assumptions by trustees are variable, as are actual investment returns relative to the plan assumptions.

As of June 30, 2018, there are no material product defect claims pending against us. Accordingly, our existing accruals for claims against us do not reflect any material amounts relating to product defect claims. While our management is not aware of any facts that would reasonably be expected to lead to material product defect claims against us that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, it is possible that claims could be asserted against us in the future. We do not maintain insurance that would cover all damages resulting from product defect claims. In particular, we generally do not maintain insurance coverage for the cost of removing and rebuilding structures. In addition, our indemnification arrangements with contractors or others, when obtained, generally provide only limited protection against product defect claims. Due to inherent uncertainties associated with estimating unasserted claims in our business, we cannot estimate the amount of any future loss that may be attributable to product defect claims related to ready-mixed concrete we have delivered prior to June 30, 2018.

U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We believe that the resolution of all litigation currently pending or threatened against us or any of our subsidiaries will not materially exceed our existing accruals for those matters. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there is a risk that we may have to increase our accruals for one or more claims or proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party as more information becomes available or proceedings progress, and any such increase in accruals could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. We expect in the future that we and our operating subsidiaries will, from time to time, be a party to litigation or administrative proceedings that arise in the normal course of our business.

We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other matters, air emissions and wastewater discharge. Our management believes we are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. From time to time, we receive claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and entities asserting that we may be in violation of environmental laws and regulations. Based on experience and the information currently available, our management believes we have adequately accrued for these claims. Despite compliance and experience, it is possible that we could be held liable for future charges, which might be material, but are not currently known to us or cannot be estimated by us. In addition, changes in federal or state laws, regulations or requirements, or discovery of currently unknown conditions, could require additional expenditures.

As permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements that provide indemnification of officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is not limited; however, we have a director and officer insurance policy that potentially limits our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of future amounts that may be paid. As a result of the insurance policy coverage, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of June 30, 2018.

We and our subsidiaries are parties to agreements that require us to provide indemnification in certain instances when we acquire businesses and real estate and in the ordinary course of business with our customers, suppliers, lessors and service providers.

San Francisco County Matter

On April 5, 2018, the State of California filed a lawsuit against the Company in San Francisco County Superior Court alleging

violations of California environmental statutes, unfair business practices, and false advertising arising out of alleged incidents of employees spraying down mixer trucks on public streets allegedly resulting in concrete residue and waste water entering sewer and storm drain systems. The State of California seeks injunctive relief, civil penalties, restitution, and costs of investigation and litigation, including damages of between $2,500 and $25,000 per alleged violation. The Company is vigorously defending against these allegations and while the ultimate liability with respect to these claims cannot be determined at this time, the Company does not expect these matters to result in fines of more than $300,000. The Company does not expect this matter to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Royalty Assessment

In 2014, Eagle Rock Materials Ltd. (“ERM”), a Polaris subsidiary, was notified by the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations that royalties were due for 2012 and 2013, based on the tenure date, in respect of Polaris’s quarrying lease for the Eagle Rock Quarry project. In 2016, ERM was notified that further royalties were due for 2014, 2015 and 2016 (up to October) based on the tenure date, and in 2017, ERM was notified of interest charges of $0.4 million. The total royalties and interest claimed to date are approximately $2.2 million, which the Company, through its Polaris subsidiary, is disputing. Polaris’s position is that royalties are only payable based on actual production, in accordance with a written undertaking from the responsible government agency prior to commencement of the lease, and as the project has not been developed, no royalties are currently due. Accordingly, the Company has currently not recorded a provision for the royalty assessment.

Insurance Programs

We maintain third-party insurance coverage against certain workers' compensation, automobile and general liability risks in amounts we believe are reasonable. Under certain components of our insurance program, we share the risk of loss with our insurance underwriters by maintaining high deductibles. We fund these deductibles and record an expense for expected losses under the programs. We determine the expected losses using a combination of our historical loss experience and subjective assessments of our future loss exposure. The estimated losses are subject to uncertainty, including changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns, judicial decisions, legislation and economic conditions. Although we believe the estimated losses we have recorded are reasonable, significant differences related to the items we have noted above could materially affect our insurance obligations and future expense. The amount recorded in accrued liabilities and other long-term obligations in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for estimated losses was $20.2 million as of June 30, 2018 and $19.2 million as of December 31, 2017.

Performance Bonds

In the normal course of business, we are contingently liable for performance under $35.0 million in performance bonds that various contractors, states and municipalities have required as of June 30, 2018. The bonds principally relate to construction contracts, reclamation obligations, licensing and permitting. We and our subsidiaries have indemnified the underwriting insurance company against any exposure under the performance bonds. No material claims have been made against these bonds as of June 30, 2018.

Employment Agreements

We have employment agreements with executive officers and certain key members of management under which severance payments would become payable in the event of specified terminations without cause or after a change of control.

14.	SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our two reportable segments consist of ready-mixed concrete and aggregate products as described below.

Our ready-mixed concrete segment produces and sells ready-mixed concrete. This segment serves the following markets: Texas, Northern California, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Oklahoma and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our aggregate products segment includes crushed stone, sand and gravel products and serves the markets in which our ready-mixed concrete segment operates as well as the West Coast and Hawaii. Other products not associated with a reportable segment include our aggregates distribution operations, building materials stores, hauling operations, lime slurry, ARIDUS^® Rapid Drying Concrete technology, brokered product sales, recycled aggregates operation and an industrial waterfront marine terminal and sales yard. The financial results of our acquisitions have been included in their respective reportable segment or in other products, as applicable, as of their respective acquisition dates.

Our customers are generally involved in the construction industry, which is a cyclical business and is subject to general and more localized economic conditions. In addition, our business is impacted by seasonal variations in weather conditions, which vary by regional market. Accordingly, demand for our products and services during the winter months is typically lower than in other months of the year because of inclement weather. Also, sustained periods of inclement weather and other adverse weather conditions could cause the delay of construction projects during other times of the year.

Our chief operating decision maker evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (loss) from continuing operations excluding the impact of income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and amortization, net interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, derivative income (loss), the non-cash change in value of contingent consideration, impairment of assets, hurricane-related losses, quarry dredge costs for a specific event, purchase accounting adjustments for inventory and foreign currency losses resulting from the Polaris acquisition. Other impacts excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA are non-cash stock compensation expense, acquisition-related costs and officer transition expenses. Many of the impacts excluded to derive Adjusted EBITDA are similar to those excluded in calculating our compliance with our debt covenants.

We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an indicator of the operational strength and performance of our business. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key financial measure used by our management to (1) internally measure our operating performance and (2) assess our ability to service our debt, incur additional debt, and meet our capital expenditure requirements.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to, or a better indicator of, operating income or loss, is not based on U.S. GAAP, and is not a measure of our cash flows or ability to fund our cash needs. Our measurements of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used in the agreements governing our debt.

We generally account for inter-segment sales at market prices. Corporate includes executive, administrative, financial, legal, human resources, business development and risk management activities that are not allocated to reportable segments and are excluded from segment Adjusted EBITDA. Eliminations include transactions to account for intercompany activity.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we re-characterized the results of our Polaris distribution operations, which include shipping and terminal operations, to the aggregate products segment from other products and eliminations. This change was made to better reflect how the Polaris business is viewed and operated by management and more closely aligns our reporting with how we manage and report our other aggregate products operations. As a result of this change, certain first quarter of 2018 amounts have been reclassified from those previously reported.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

For a discussion of our commitments not discussed below and our critical accounting policies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “2017 Form 10-K”).

Our Business

U.S. Concrete, Inc. is a Delaware corporation founded and incorporated in 1997. We began operations in 1999, which is the year we completed our initial public offering. In this report, we refer to U.S. Concrete, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as "we," "us," "our," the "Company" or "U.S. Concrete", unless we specifically state otherwise, or the context or content indicates otherwise. We are a leading producer of ready-mixed concrete in select geographic markets in the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We operate our business through two primary segments: ready-mixed concrete and aggregate products. Ready-mixed concrete is an important building material used in the vast majority of commercial, residential and public works construction projects. Aggregate products are granular raw materials essential in the production of ready-mixed concrete.

Ready-Mixed Concrete. Our ready-mixed concrete segment (which represented 87.3% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018) engages principally in the formulation, preparation and delivery of ready-mixed concrete to our customers’ job sites. We provide our ready-mixed concrete from our operations in Texas, New Jersey, New York, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, California, Oklahoma and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Ready-mixed concrete is a highly versatile construction material that results from combining coarse and fine aggregates, such as gravel, crushed stone and sand, with water, various chemical admixtures and cement. We also provide services intended to reduce our customers’ overall construction costs by lowering the installed, or “in-place,” cost of concrete. These services include the formulation of mixtures for specific design uses, on-site and lab-based product quality control and customized delivery programs to meet our customers’ needs. We generally do not provide paving or other finishing services, which construction contractors or subcontractors typically perform.

Aggregate Products. Our aggregate products segment (which represented 8.2% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018, excluding $22.9 million of intersegment sales) produces crushed stone, sand and gravel from 19 aggregates facilities located in New Jersey, Texas, Oklahoma, the U.S. Virgin Islands and British Columbia, Canada. We sell these aggregates for use in commercial, industrial, and public works projects, as well as consume them internally in the production of ready-mixed concrete in the markets served by the aggregates facilities. We produced approximately 4.7 million tons of aggregates during the six months ended June 30, 2018, with British Columbia, Canada representing 43%, Texas / Oklahoma representing 34%, New Jersey representing 20%, and the U.S. Virgin Islands representing 3% of the total. We consumed 35% of our aggregate production internally and sold 65% to third-party customers during the six months ended June 30, 2018. We believe our aggregate reserves provide us with additional raw materials sourcing flexibility and supply availability. In addition, we own a quarry in West Texas, which we lease to a third party, who pays us a royalty based on the volumes produced and sold.

Cement and Other Raw Materials

We obtain most of the materials necessary to manufacture ready-mixed concrete on a daily basis. These materials include cement, other cementitious materials (fly ash and blast furnace slag), and aggregate products (stone, gravel and sand), in addition to certain chemical admixtures. With the exception of chemical admixtures, each plant typically maintains an inventory level of these materials sufficient to satisfy its operating needs for a few days. Our inventory levels do not decline significantly or comparatively with declines in revenue during seasonally low periods. We generally maintain inventory at specified levels to maximize purchasing efficiencies and to be able to respond quickly to customer demand.

Typically, cement, other cementitious materials, and aggregates represent the highest-cost materials used in manufacturing a cubic yard of ready-mixed concrete. We purchase cement from a few suppliers in each of our major geographic markets. Chemical admixtures are generally purchased from suppliers under national purchasing agreements.

In most of our geographic markets, the prices we pay for cement and aggregate products increased in the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. Generally, we negotiate with suppliers on a company-wide basis and at the local market level to obtain the most competitive pricing available for cement and aggregate products. We believe the demand for cement is increasing and will warrant scrutiny as construction activity increases. Today, in most of our markets, we believe there is an adequate supply of cement and aggregate products.

Overview

The geographic markets for our products are generally local, except for our newly acquired Canadian aggregate products operation that primarily serves markets in California. Our operating results are subject to fluctuations in the level and mix of construction activity that occur in our markets. The level of activity affects the demand for our products, while the product mix of activity among the various segments of the construction industry affects both our relative competitive strengths and our operating margins. Commercial and industrial projects generally provide more opportunities to sell value-added products that are designed to meet the high-performance requirements of these types of projects.

Our customers are generally involved in the construction industry, which is a cyclical business and is subject to general and more localized economic conditions. In addition, our business is impacted by seasonal variations in weather conditions, which vary by regional market. Accordingly, because of inclement weather, demand for our products and services during the winter months is typically lower than in other months of the year. Also, sustained periods of inclement weather and other adverse weather conditions could cause the delay of construction projects during other times of the year.

Our ready-mixed concrete operations sales volume increased 8.4% to 4.7 million cubic yards for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. In addition, our ready-mixed concrete average sales prices increased 0.3% to $134.79 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in sales volume was driven largely by ready-mixed concrete segment acquisitions completed in the past year.

Acquisitions

We completed three acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2018 that expanded our ready-mixed concrete operations in our Atlantic Region (which we define to include New York, New Jersey, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania) and expanded our ready-mixed concrete and aggregate products operations in West Texas. In addition, we completed eight acquisitions during 2017, the majority of which occurred during the period from September 29, 2017 to December 31, 2017. The 2017 acquisitions expanded our ready-mixed concrete operations in Northern California, facilitated vertical integration on the West Coast and expanded our aggregates operations in the Atlantic Region. As a result of the strategic expansion of our aggregate products operations and continued vertical integration, we expect our aggregate product sales to increase as a percentage of our total segment revenue.

For additional information on our acquisitions, see Note 4, "Business Combinations" to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this report.

Our calculation of the aggregate products segment average sales price excludes certain other ancillary revenue and Polaris’s freight revenue. We define revenue for our aggregate products average sales price calculation as amounts billed to external and internal customers for coarse and fine aggregate products, excluding delivery charges. Our definition and calculation of average sales price may differ from other companies in the construction materials industry.

Revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, revenue grew 18.6%, or $63.3 million, compared to the prior year second quarter, resulting from both organic growth and growth from acquisitions. We estimate that acquisitions completed since April 1, 2017 accounted for $46.8 million of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2018. As a result of the strategic expansion of our aggregate products operations and continued vertical integration, our aggregate products sales grew to 12.2% of total reportable segment revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2018 from 6.8% in the same period last year.

In the second quarter of 2018, ready-mixed concrete sales contributed $39.9 million, or 63.0%, of our revenue growth, driven by a 13.9% increase in volume, partially offset by a 1.0% decrease in our average sales price. We achieved price increases in most of our major markets despite a lower average sales price. The lower average sales price reflects a shift in mix, as opposed to lower pricing. Aggregate products sales contributed $25.7 million, or 40.6%, of our revenue growth, driven by a 99.8% increase in volume that was partially offset by a 13.6% decrease in the average sales price. The increased volume was primarily due to recent acquisitions in our West Coast (Polaris) and West Texas markets. During the second quarter of 2018, we re-characterized all sales from our Polaris subsidiary (some of which were previously reported in other products and eliminations) as aggregate products revenue to more closely align these results with how we manage and report our other aggregate products operations. Other products revenue and eliminations, which includes building materials stores, hauling operations, lime slurry, brokered product sales, recycled aggregates, aggregates distribution, an industrial waterfront marine terminal and sales yard, and eliminations of our intersegment sales, decreased to $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2018 as compared to $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2017, primarily due to increased elimination of our intersegment sales.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 grew 14.4%, or $91.9 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to recent acquisitions and organic growth. We estimate that acquisitions completed since April 1, 2017 accounted for $76.7 million of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Our West Coast and West Texas markets led all of our other major markets with significantly higher total revenue, higher ready-mixed concrete sales and volume as well as increased aggregate product sales and volume for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the prior year period. Ready-mixed concrete sales contributed 58.4%, or $53.7 million of our revenue growth, driven by an 8.4% increase in volume and a 0.3% increase in our average sales price. Aggregate products sales grew $42.1 million, or 103.7%, to $82.7 million from $40.6 million, resulting primarily from an 87.0% increase in volume offset by a 13.4% decrease in average sales price. The increased volume was primarily due to recent acquisitions in our West Coast (Polaris) and West Texas markets. Other products revenue and eliminations, as described above, decreased to $10.0 million from $13.9 million for the first six months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to increased elimination of our intersegment sales.

Cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A"). Cost of goods sold before DD&A increased by $56.6 million, or 21.5%, in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the prior year quarter. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold before DD&A increased by 1.9% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017. Our costs increased primarily due to volume growth from acquisitions, resulting in higher raw material costs, delivery costs, and plant variable costs, which includes primarily labor and benefits, freight, and repairs and maintenance. During the second quarter of 2018, our fixed costs, which primarily consist of leased equipment costs, property taxes, dispatch costs, quality control, and plant management, increased over the comparable prior year period primarily due to higher personnel and equipment costs needed to operate our facilities, as well as higher overall fixed costs to operate more locations and trucks than in the previous year. In addition, we incurred some raw material cost increases that we were not able to immediately pass along to our customers.

For the first six months of 2018, cost of goods sold before DD&A increased by $88.1 million, or 17.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. Similar to the second quarter of 2018, our costs increased primarily due to volume growth resulting from acquisitions, resulting in higher raw material costs, delivery costs, and plant variable costs. During the first six months of 2018, our fixed costs increased over the comparable prior year period primarily due to higher costs to operate our facilities, as well as additional locations and trucks than in the previous year. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold before DD&A increased by 2.3% in the first six months of 2018 compared to the first six months of 2017.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $1.7 million, or 5.5%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, in comparison to the corresponding 2017 quarter. The increase resulted from various factors, including the impact of additional SG&A expenses from recent acquisitions, increased personnel-related costs to support our growth initiatives and acquisition strategy, and increased marketing expenses. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses decreased to 7.9% in the 2018 second quarter from 8.9% in the 2017 second quarter.

For the first six months of 2018, SG&A expenses increased $8.1 million, or 14.5%, compared to the first six months of 2017. This increase resulted from various factors, including acquisition-related costs, non-cash stock compensation expense, the impact of additional SG&A expenses from recent acquisitions, additional personnel-related costs to support our growth initiatives and acquisition strategy, and higher marketing expenses. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were comparable at 8.8% in both the first six months of 2018 and 2017.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization. DD&A expense increased $5.8 million, or 35.4%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the corresponding quarter of 2017. For the first six months of 2018, DD&A expense increased $10.5 million, or 32.6%, as compared to the first six months of 2017. The increases primarily related to depreciation on additional plants, equipment and mixer trucks purchased to service increased demand or through acquisitions and depletion on acquired mineral deposits.

Change in value of contingent consideration. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a non-cash gain on revaluation of contingent consideration of $1.6 million compared to a non-cash loss of $0.7 million for the comparable 2017 quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a non-cash gain on revaluation of contingent consideration of $1.3 million compared to a non-cash loss of $1.3 million for the same period in 2017. These non-cash items are related to fair value changes in contingent consideration associated with certain of our acquisitions. The key inputs in determining the fair value of our contingent consideration of $59.4 million at June 30, 2018, included discount rates ranging from 3.70% to 15.75% and management's estimates of future sales volumes, permitted reserves and EBITDA. Changes in these inputs impact the valuation of our contingent consideration and result in gain or loss each reporting period. The non-cash gain from fair value changes in contingent consideration for the first six months of 2018 was primarily due to updated financial expectations for certain previously acquired businesses, while the expense in 2017 was primarily due to the passage of time.

Interest expense, net. Net interest expense increased by $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, from the comparable 2017 quarter and increased $2.3 million for the first six months of 2018 from the first six months of 2017, primarily due to borrowings under our revolving credit facility in 2018.

Derivative loss. We recorded a non-cash loss on derivatives of $15.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, and $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, related to fair value changes in our warrants that were issued on August 31, 2010 (the "Warrants") and expired on August 31, 2017. Each quarter the Warrants were outstanding, we determined the fair value of our derivative liabilities, and the changes resulted in either income or loss. These non-cash losses in 2017 were primarily due to an increase in the price of our common stock.

Income taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we recorded income tax expense allocated to continuing operations of $4.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we recorded income tax expense allocated to continuing operations of $5.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our effective tax rate of 32.3% differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes and adjustments related to the impact of a tax rate change enacted as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") in the amount of $1.3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, our effective tax rate of 73.8% differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes and the impact of a $13.9 million non-cash loss on our now expired Warrants, which was recorded with no associated tax benefit.

Under U.S. tax law, we treat our Canadian and U.S. Virgin Island subsidiaries as controlled foreign corporations. As such, we consider our undistributed earnings of our Canadian and U.S. Virgin Island subsidiaries, if any, to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, we do not record any incremental U.S. taxes thereon.

On December 22, 2017, the President signed into law the Tax Act. Shortly after the Tax Act was enacted, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the Tax Act’s impact. This guidance provides a measurement period, which in no case should extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date. As of June 30, 2018, we recorded provisional amounts for the effects of the Tax Act for the Base Erosion Anti-abuse Tax, which is a new minimum tax, and a mechanism to tax global intangible low taxed income. These provisional amounts were immaterial to our consolidated financial statements. We will monitor future guidance set forth by the U.S. Department of Treasury with regard to the new provisions under the Tax Act, and true up provisional amounts as appropriate within the one-year measurement period required under SAB 118.

Segment Information

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we re-characterized certain results of our Polaris distribution operations, which include shipping and terminal operations, to the aggregate products segment from other products and eliminations. This change, which now results in all of Polaris’s operating results being reported in the aggregates products segment, was made to better reflect how the Polaris business is viewed and operated by management and more closely aligns our reporting with how we manage and report our other aggregate products operations. As a result of this change, certain first quarter of 2018 amounts have been reclassified from those previously reported.

See Note 14, "Segment Information," to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for additional information regarding our segments and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes.

Ready-mixed Concrete

The following table sets forth key financial information for our ready-mixed concrete segment:



	(amounts in thousands, except selling prices and percentages)
	Three Months Ended June 30,						Increase/ (Decrease)	Six Months Ended June 30,						Increase/ (Decrease)
	2018			2017			%	2018			2017			%

Ready-mixed Concrete Segment:
Revenue	$	350,027		$	310,122		12.9%	$	639,267		$	585,578		9.2%
Segment revenue as a percentage of total revenue	86.6		%	91.0		%		87.3		%	91.5		%

Sales volume in cubic yards	2,624			2,304			13.9%	4,719			4,353			8.4%

(1) Calculation excludes certain ancillary revenue that is reported within the segment.

Revenue. Our ready-mixed concrete sales provided 86.6% and 91.0% of our total revenue in the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively. Segment revenue for the second quarter of 2018 increased $39.9 million, or 12.9%, from the comparable 2017 period, resulting from both organic growth and growth from acquisitions. We estimate that acquisitions completed since April 1, 2017 contributed $24.4 million of revenue to our second quarter of 2018 ready-mixed concrete segment. In addition, all of our major markets generated increased revenue and sales volume, except for our Atlantic market. In our Atlantic market, the sales volumes were relatively flat quarter-over-quarter.

In the second quarter of 2018 as compared to the second quarter of 2017, revenue reflected a 13.9% increase in sales volume, or 320 thousand cubic yards, providing $43.0 million, or approximately 107.8%, of our ready-mixed concrete revenue growth, which was partially offset by a 1.0% decrease in the average sales price, which decreased revenue by $3.1 million, or approximately 7.8%. We achieved price increases in most of our major markets despite a lower average sales price. The lower average sales price reflects a shift in mix, as opposed to lower pricing, including the impact of our recent acquisitions, which are in lower priced markets.

Our ready-mixed concrete sales provided 87.3% and 91.5% of our total revenue in the first six months of 2018 and 2017, respectively. Segment revenue for the first six months of 2018 increased $53.7 million, or 9.2%, from the comparable 2017 period, resulting from both organic growth and growth from acquisitions, with the majority of the increase due to higher sales volume. We estimate that acquisitions completed since April 1, 2017 contributed $37.6 million of revenue to our first six months of 2018 ready-mixed concrete segment. In addition, all our major markets generated increased average sales price, except for our Atlantic market. In our Atlantic market, the sales volumes were relatively flat for the first six months of 2018 versus 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for our ready-mixed concrete segment increased to $51.8 million in the second quarter of 2018 from $49.6 million in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $2.1 million, or 4.3%. Our sales volumes increased 13.9% while the average sales price decreased 1.0%. Our variable costs, which include primarily raw material costs, labor and benefits costs, utilities, and delivery costs, were all higher due primarily to the increased volume and recent acquisitions. During the second quarter of 2018, we also experienced certain raw materials price increases from our vendors, which increased our cost of goods sold. While we are generally able to pass these price increases along to our customers, due to the timing of certain of the increases, we were unable to immediately recoup the full impact. Our fixed costs, which consist primarily of equipment rental, plant management, property taxes, quality control, and dispatch costs, increased in the 2018 second quarter compared to the prior year second quarter due to higher personnel and equipment costs needed to operate our facilities, as well as higher overall fixed costs to operate more locations and mixer trucks compared to the previous year. Segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of segment revenue was 14.8% in the second quarter of 2018 versus 16.0% in 2017, primarily reflecting the increased cost of goods sold.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, Adjusted EBITDA for our ready-mixed concrete segment increased to $92.8 million from $91.2 million in the first six months of 2017, an increase of $1.6 million, or 1.8%. Our sales volumes increased 8.4%, and our average sales price increased 0.3%. Our variable costs were all higher due primarily to the increased volume and recent acquisitions. During the first six months of 2018, we also experienced certain raw materials price increases from our vendors, which increased our cost of goods sold. While we are generally able to pass these price increases along to our customers, due to the timing of certain of the increases, we were unable to immediately recoup the full impact. Our fixed costs increased in the first six months of 2018 versus the comparable period in the prior year due to higher personnel and equipment costs needed to operate our facilities, as well as higher overall fixed costs to operate more locations and mixer trucks. Segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of segment revenue was 14.5% in the first six months of 2018 versus 15.6% in 2017, primarily reflecting the increased cost of goods sold.

Aggregate Products

The following table sets forth key financial information for our aggregate products segment:



	(amounts in thousands, except selling prices and percentages)
	Three Months Ended June 30,						Increase/ (Decrease)	Six Months Ended June 30,						Increase/ (Decrease)
	2018			2017			%	2018			2017			%
Aggregate Products Segment:
Sales to external customers	$	35,065		$	12,036			$	59,791		$	21,333

(1) Our calculation of the aggregate products segment average sales price excludes certain other ancillary revenue and Polaris’s freight revenue. We define revenue for our aggregate products average sales price calculation as amounts billed to external and internal customers for coarse and fine aggregate products, excluding delivery charges. Our definition and calculation of average sales price may differ from other companies in the construction materials industry.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, we re-characterized certain results of our Polaris distribution operations, which include shipping and terminal operations, to the aggregate products segment from other products and eliminations. This change was made to better reflect how the Polaris business is viewed and operated by management and more closely aligns our reporting with how we manage and report our other aggregate products operations. As a result of this change, certain first quarter of 2018 amounts have been reclassified from those previously reported. Further, as a result of the strategic expansion of our aggregate products operations and continued vertical integration, our aggregate products sales continue to increase as a percentage of our total revenue.

Revenue. Sales for our aggregate products segment provided 8.7% and 3.5% of our total revenue for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively, excluding intersegment sales of $13.4 million and $10.7 million, respectively. Segment revenue increased $25.7 million, or 113.1%, compared to prior year levels, primarily due to acquisitions. We estimate that acquisitions completed since April 1, 2017 contributed $24.6 million to our second quarter of 2018 aggregate products revenue. In addition, our aggregate products revenue and sales volume increased in all of our major markets as compared to the second quarter of 2017.

For the first six months of 2018, aggregate products segment sales provided 8.2% and 3.3% of our total revenue for 2018 and 2017, respectively, excluding intersegment sales of $22.9 million and $19.3 million, respectively. Segment revenue increased $42.1 million, or 103.7%, compared to prior year levels, primarily due to acquisitions. We estimate that acquisitions completed since April 1, 2017 contributed $42.7 million to our first six months of 2018 aggregate products revenue. In addition, our aggregate products revenue and sales volume increased in all of our major markets, except for our North Texas market as compared to the first six months of 2017.

We sell our aggregate products to external customers and also sell them internally to our ready-mixed concrete segment at market price. Our average sales price decreased 13.6% and 13.4% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Our recent acquisitions have resulted in a change in product mix which has resulted in an overall lower average sales price for the segment. In addition, we are experiencing reduced product margins in our aggregate products segment pending full integration and volume expansion of recent acquisitions, including Polaris.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for our aggregate products segment increased to $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2018 from $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. Although sales volumes increased 99.8%, the average sales price decreased 13.6%. The higher revenue from sales volume was partially offset by a decrease in the average sales price, an increase in the cost of goods sold associated with the volume growth, and an increase in the SG&A expenses related to our acquisitions. Overall, our segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of segment revenue decreased to 25.2% in the second quarter of 2018 from 38.1% in the second quarter of 2017.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, Adjusted EBITDA for our aggregate products segment increased to $16.9 million from $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Although sales volumes increased 87.0%, the increased revenues were partially offset by a 13.4% decrease in the average sales price. In addition, the higher revenue from sales volume was partially offset by the increased cost of goods sold associated with the volume growth, as well as increased SG&A expenses related to our acquisitions. Overall, our segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of segment revenue decreased to 20.5% in the first six months of 2018 from 31.2% in the comparable period of 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and access to our asset-based revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"), which provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $350.0 million, subject to a borrowing base.

As of June 30, 2018, we had $21.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, not including restricted cash of $2.8 million. At June 30, 2018, based on our borrowing base, we had $173.6 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolving Facility, providing total available liquidity of $195.1 million. Our unused availability under the Revolving Facility at June 30, 2018 decreased from December 31, 2017, primarily due to higher outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

The following key financial metrics reflect our financial position and capital resources as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (dollars in thousands):



	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Cash and cash equivalents	$	21,511	$	22,581
Working capital	$	100,729	$	103,244
Total debt ⁽¹⁾	$	750,554	$	693,336
Equity	317,798		302,142
Total capital	$	1,068,352	$	995,478

Available capacity under the Revolving Facility	$	173,600	$	206,400


(1)	Total debt includes long-term debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, including current maturities, capital leases, notes payable and borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

Our primary liquidity needs over the next 12 months consist of (1) financing working capital requirements; (2) servicing our indebtedness; (3) purchasing property, plant and equipment; and (4) payments related to strategic acquisitions. Our primary portfolio strategy includes acquisitions in various regions and markets. We may seek financing for acquisitions, including additional debt or equity capital.

Our working capital needs are typically at their lowest level in the first quarter, increase in the second and third quarters to fund increases in accounts receivable and inventories during those periods, and then decrease in the fourth quarter. Availability under the Revolving Facility is governed by a borrowing base primarily determined by our eligible accounts receivable, inventory, mixer trucks and machinery. Our borrowing base also typically declines during the first quarter due to lower accounts receivable balances as a result of normal seasonality of our business caused by weather.

The projection of our cash needs is based upon many factors, including without limitation, our expected volume, pricing, cost of materials and capital expenditures. We anticipate that our federal and state income tax payments will decline in 2018 as compared to prior years following the enactment of the Tax Act, which reduced the corporate statutory rate from 35% to 21%. Based on our projected cash needs, we believe that cash on hand, availability under the Revolving Facility and cash generated from operations will provide us with sufficient liquidity in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months, not including potential acquisitions. If, however, availability under the Revolving Facility, cash on hand and our operating cash flows are not adequate to fund our operations, we would need to obtain other equity or debt financing or sell assets to provide additional liquidity.

The principal factors that could adversely affect the amount of our internally generated funds include:


•	deterioration of revenue, due to lower volume and/or pricing, because of weakness in the markets in which we operate;


•	declines in gross margins due to shifts in our product mix or increases in the cost of our raw materials and fuel;


•	any deterioration in our ability to collect our accounts receivable from customers as a result of weakening in construction demand or payment difficulties experienced by our customers; and


•	inclement weather beyond normal patterns that could reduce our sales volumes.

The discussion that follows provides a description of our arrangements relating to our outstanding indebtedness.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

Our Revolving Facility provides for up to $350.0 million of revolving borrowings. Under the terms of the agreement governing the facility, we can incur other secured indebtedness not to exceed certain amounts as specified in the agreement. Our actual maximum credit availability under the Revolving Facility varies from time to time and is subject to a borrowing base determined based upon the value of our eligible accounts receivable, inventory, mixer trucks and machinery, minus reserves imposed by the lenders and other adjustments, all as specified in the agreement. There are also provisions for swingline loans up to a $15.0 million sublimit and letters of credit up to a $50.0 million sublimit. Loans under the Revolving Facility are in the form of either base rate loans or “LIBOR loans” denominated in U.S. dollars.

Under the Revolving Facility agreement, we are subject to usual and customary negative covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability to consolidate or merge; substantially change the nature of our business; sell, lease or otherwise transfer any of our assets; create or incur indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends or make other distributions; make loans; prepay certain indebtedness; and make investments or acquisitions. The negative covenants are subject to certain exceptions. Under our loan agreement and in accordance with the agreement, we, upon the occurrence of certain events, are required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 for each period of 12 calendar months. As of June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all debt covenants to which we were subject.

Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024

During 2016 and 2017, we issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes"). The 2024 Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of June 7, 2016, by and among U.S. Concrete, Inc., as issuer, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2024 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 6.375% per annum. We pay interest on the 2024 Notes on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The 2024 Notes mature on June 1, 2024, and are redeemable at our option prior to maturity at prices specified in the Indenture. The Indenture contains negative covenants that restrict our ability and our restricted subsidiaries' ability to engage in certain transactions, as described below, and also contains customary events of default.

The 2024 Notes are issued by U.S. Concrete, Inc., the parent company, and are guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis by each of our restricted subsidiaries that guarantees any obligations under the Revolving Facility or that guarantees certain of our other indebtedness or certain indebtedness of our restricted subsidiaries (other than foreign restricted subsidiaries that guarantee only indebtedness incurred by another foreign subsidiary). The guarantees are joint and several. U.S. Concrete, Inc. does not have any independent assets or operations, and none of its foreign subsidiaries guarantee the 2024 Notes.

The 2024 Notes and the guarantees thereof are effectively subordinated to all of our and our guarantors' existing and future secured obligations, including obligations under the Revolving Facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations; senior in right of payment to any of our and our guarantors' future subordinated indebtedness; pari passu in right of payment with any of our and our guarantors' existing and future senior indebtedness, including our and our guarantors' obligations under the Revolving Facility; and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including preferred stock, of any non-guarantor subsidiaries.

For additional information regarding our guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries, see the information set forth in Note 15, “Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Financial Information,” to our condensed financial statements included in Part I of this report.

Other Debt

We have financing agreements with various lenders for the purchase of mixer trucks and other machinery and equipment with $91.3 million of remaining principal as of June 30, 2018.

Cash Flows

Our net cash provided by operating activities generally reflects the cash effects of transactions and other events used in the determination of net income or loss. Net cash provided by operating activities was $47.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $53.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

We used $78.6 million to fund investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and $49.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. We paid $61.1 million and $32.8 million to fund acquisitions during the first six months of 2018 and 2017, respectively. In addition, we used $20.8 million and $18.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, to fund purchases of machinery and equipment as well as mixer trucks and other vehicles to service our business.

Our net cash provided by financing activities was $32.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and $192.6 million for the comparable period of 2017. Financing activities during the first six months of 2018 included $51.4 million of net borrowings under our Revolving Facility to operate our business and fund acquisitions. In addition, we repaid $13.7 million of capital leases and notes used to fund capital expenditures and paid $3.5 million for contingent and deferred consideration obligations. Financing activities during the first six months of 2017 included proceeds from our 2024 Notes offering, including the premium on the issue price and net of related debt issuance costs. In addition, during the first six months of 2017, we made payments of $8.8 million related to our capital leases and other financings and paid $4.5 million for contingent and deferred consideration obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. From time to time, we enter into non-cancelable operating leases that are not reflected on our balance sheet. At June 30, 2018, we had $17.5 million of undrawn letters of credit outstanding. We are also contingently liable for performance under $35.0 million in performance bonds relating to our operations.

Inflation

We experienced minimal increases in operating costs during the first six months of 2018 related to inflation. However, in non-recessionary conditions, cement prices and certain other raw material prices, including aggregates, have generally risen faster than regional inflationary rates. When these price increases have occurred, we have generally been able to mitigate our cost increases with price increases we obtained for our products.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have outlined our critical accounting policies in Item 7 of Part II of the 2017 Form 10-K. Our critical accounting policies involve the use of estimates in the recording of business combinations, goodwill and intangible assets and any related impairment, accruals for self-insurance, accruals for income taxes, assessing impairment of long-lived assets, and accounting for contingent consideration. See Note 1, "Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Part II of the 2017 Form 10-K for a discussion of our critical and significant accounting policies.

Certain statements and information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, projections, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are not statements of historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “intends,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” "outlook," “predict,” “potential,” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. All comments concerning our expectations for future operating results are based on our forecasts for our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. Our forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those summarized below:


•	general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect demand for new residential and commercial construction;


•	our ability to successfully identify, manage, and integrate acquisitions;


•	the cyclical nature of, and changes in, the real estate and construction markets, including pricing changes by our competitors;


•	governmental requirements and initiatives, including those related to mortgage lending, financing or deductions, funding for public or infrastructure construction, land usage, and environmental, health, and safety matters;


•	disruptions, uncertainties or volatility in the credit markets that may limit our, our suppliers' and our customers' access to capital;


•	our ability to successfully implement our operating strategy;


•	weather conditions;


•	our substantial indebtedness and the restrictions imposed on us by the terms of our indebtedness;


•	the effects of currency fluctuations on our results of operations and financial condition;


•	our ability to maintain favorable relationships with third parties who supply us with equipment and essential supplies;


•	our ability to retain key personnel and maintain satisfactory labor relations; and


•	product liability, property damage, results of litigation, and other claims and insurance coverage issues.

For additional information regarding known material factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our projected results, please see “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by federal securities laws.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes from the information previously reported under Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Acquisitions

We completed the following acquisitions during 2017 and 2018 that we are still in the process of integrating:


•	Harbor Ready-Mix on September 29, 2017;


•	A-1 Materials, Inc. and L.C. Frey Company, Inc. on September 29, 2017;


•	Action Supply Co., Inc. on September 29, 2017;


•	Polaris Materials Corporation on November 17, 2017;


•	On Time Ready Mix, Inc. on January 10, 2018;


•	Cutrell Trucking, LLC., Dumas Concrete, LLC., Pampa Concrete Co.,Inc., Panhandle Concrete, LLC., Texas Sand & Gravel Co., Inc. on March 2, 2018; and


•	Four individually immaterial operations acquired during December 2017 and March 2018.

Management’s assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018, excludes an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting related to each of the above acquisitions. The above acquisitions represented 26.4% of our consolidated total assets and 10.4% of our consolidated revenue included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have completed a number of acquisitions in the past 12 months. As part of our ongoing integration activities, we continue to implement our controls and procedures at the businesses we acquire and to augment our company-wide controls to reflect the risks inherent in our acquisitions. Throughout the integration process, we monitor these efforts and take corrective action as needed to reinforce the application of our controls and procedures. Other than the foregoing and except as described above, during the quarter ended June 30, 2018, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of the 2017 Form 10-K.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.
