    U.S. Concrete, Inc. (NASDAQ: USCR), a leading producer of construction materials in select major markets across the United States, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015. In the third quarter of 2015, Adjusted EBITDA increased to $49.3 million, compared to $26.9 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of revenue improved to 16.7%, compared to 13.6% in the prior year quarter.

    William J. Sandbrook, President and Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Concrete, stated, "The third quarter marked another quarter of significant improvement in revenue, adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share reflecting solid execution on our core growth objectives. This sustained improvement is a strong validation of our entire operating strategy across our attractive construction material categories. During the quarter we grew our organic operations in all of our key regions, including Texas. Our ongoing consolidation efforts, established leadership positions, and focus on high barrier-to-entry projects allowed us to remain disciplined with our price, as evidenced by ready-mixed concrete prices increasing year-over-year for the 18th straight quarter. This pricing success, combined with our increasingly vertically integrated positions, delivered higher material spreads and very favorable incremental margins on our scalable platform. Additionally, during the quarter we further strengthened our vertically integrated capabilities with the addition of three strategic aggregate operations within key markets. As we look forward, we are encouraged by our prospects for further improvement as we continue to advance our long-term growth strategy."

    Mr. Sandbrook continued, "In October, we completed an aggregates-based acquisition of two strategically integrated companies in the U.S. Virgin Islands. This was a major step for our Company and aligns with our long-term expansion plans. With the addition of these companies we gained entry into very defensible markets with strong share positions which are well suited for our unique operating capabilities. With these transactions complete, we now have a sturdy platform to enhance our regional economies of scale as we capitalize on additional expansion opportunities within the Southeast U.S. and Caribbean basin."

    THIRD QUARTER 2015 RESULTS COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2014

    Consolidated revenue increased 49.4% to $295.1 million, compared to $197.6 million in the prior year quarter. Revenue from the ready-mixed concrete segment increased $88.6 million, or 50.3%, driven by both volume and pricing. The Company's ready-mixed concrete sales volume was 2.1 million cubic yards, up 33.1%. Ready-mixed concrete average sales price per cubic yard increased $13.95, or 12.6%, to $125.10 compared to $111.15. Ready-mixed backlog at the end of the quarter was approximately 6.4 million cubic yards, up 45.2% compared to the end of the prior year quarter. Aggregate products segment revenue increased $1.8 million, or 10.6%, to $19.0 million compared to the prior year quarter.

    Consolidated gross profit increased $28.6 million to $68.5 million with a 300 basis point expansion in gross margin to 23.2% compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by higher revenue and an improvement in the Company's ready-mixed raw material spread margin by 170 basis points. Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $23.6 million compared to $15.4 million in the prior year quarter. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 8.0%, compared to 7.8% in the prior year quarter. Excluding non-cash stock compensation, acquisition related professional fees, and officer severance, SG&A was 6.8% of revenue compared to 6.9% in the prior year quarter, with the improvement mainly attributable to the increase in revenue which more than offset higher personnel costs to support sustained growth.

    Consolidated adjusted EBITDA of $49.3 million increased $22.4 million, with a 310 basis point expansion in margin compared to the prior year quarter. Ready-mixed concrete adjusted EBITDA of $46.0 million increased 72.8%, with a 230 basis point expansion in margin. Aggregate products adjusted EBITDA increased 58.3% to $6.4 million.

    Adjusted net income was $31.2 million, or $1.97 per diluted share, compared to $14.7 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income in the third quarter of 2015 excludes non-core items such as a $26.9 million non-cash loss related to derivatives attributable to the fair value changes in the Company's warrants. This compares to a non-cash gain of $0.1 million during the third quarter of 2014. This non-cash loss was due to the increase in the price of the Company's stock during the third quarter of 2015. Including the impact of the derivative loss as well as non-cash stock compensation and acquisition-related professional fees, net income was $1.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $13.0 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2014.

    Cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter of 2015 was $21.3 million compared to cash provided by operating activities in the prior year quarter of $24.2 million. The Company's free cash flow in the third quarter of 2015 was $16.9 million, compared to $15.2 million in the prior year quarter, with the improvement mainly due to less cash used for purchases of property, plant and equipment.

    At September 30, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $8.6 million and total debt of $292.1 million, resulting in net debt of $283.5 million. The net debt increased by $93.2 million from December 31, 2014, largely as a result of draws under our revolving credit facility used to fund acquisitions completed since the beginning of 2015, as well as financing of additional mixer trucks and mobile equipment.

    ACQUISITIONS

    In August 2015, the Company acquired certain assets of E&A Materials, Inc. and Pitts Sand & Gravel, Inc., mainly consisting of two sand and gravel operations near Vernon, TX and Waurika, OK. The transaction provides for improved operating dynamics of the Company's north Texas and southern Oklahoma operations by combining the efforts of the acquired aggregates businesses into one cohesive unit with existing ready-mixed concrete operations.

    In September 2015, the Company acquired the Wantage Stone reserves, a site development quarry with 19 million tons of proven and permitted reserves and an additional 19 million tons of unpermitted, yet available reserves. The reserve position in northern New Jersey and increased production capacity strengthens the Company's mix of internally supplied aggregates, along with third party sales to new and existing customers in the greater New York metropolitan area.

    Subsequent to the end of the third quarter 2015, in October 2015, the Company completed the acquisitions of Heavy Materials, LLC ("Heavy") and Spartan Concrete Products, LLC ("Spartan"), two strategically integrated companies located in the U.S. Virgin Islands serving key Caribbean markets with strong demand. Heavy is the largest producer of aggregates and ready mixed concrete in the U.S. Virgin Islands through two quarries with total reserves of 40 million tons, four ready-mixed concrete batch plants and a fleet of 32 mixer trucks. Heavy also leases an industrial waterfront property that it utilizes as a marine terminal and sales yard. Heavy is a key supplier of aggregates to Spartan, a leading local ready-mixed concrete producer, operating one batch plant and 16 mixer trucks. The combined operations of Heavy and Spartan creates a stronger vertically integrated platform for growth to serve an extensive base of new and existing customers throughout the Southeast U.S., Virgin Islands and greater Caribbean basin.

    USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

    This press release uses the non-GAAP financial measures "adjusted EBITDA," "adjusted net income (loss)," "adjusted EBITDA margin," "free cash flow" and "net debt." The Company has included adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin in this press release because it is widely used by investors for valuation and comparing the Company's financial performance with the performance of other building material companies. The Company also uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to monitor and compare the financial performance of its operations. Adjusted EBITDA does not give effect to the cash the Company must use to service its debt or pay its income taxes, and thus does not reflect the funds actually available for capital expenditures. In addition, the Company's presentation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures that other companies report. The Company considers free cash flow to be an important indicator of its ability to service debt and generate cash for acquisitions and other strategic investments. The Company believes that net debt is useful to investors as a measure of its financial position. The Company presents adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share to provide more consistent information for investors to use when comparing operating results for the third quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2014. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported operating results or cash flow from operations or any other measure of performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. See the attached "Selected Reportable Operating and Financial Information" for reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

    CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    This press release contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on management's belief, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release. The Company disclaims any obligation to update these 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, and cautions you not to rely unduly on them. Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, 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," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue," the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are predictions based on our current expectations and projects about future events. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that those expectations will prove to have been correct. Such forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, among other matters: general and regional economic 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 of our competitors; governmental requirements and initiatives, including those related to mortgage lending or mortgage financing, 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; 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 and other claims and insurance coverage issues. Should one or more of these risks materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results or outcomes may vary materially from those expected. These risks, as well as others, are discussed in greater detail in U.S. Concrete's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including U.S. Concrete's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

    U.S. CONCRETE, INC.
    NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
    (Unaudited)

    We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). However, our management believes that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios, which our management uses in managing our business, may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. See the table below for (1) presentations of our adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and Free Cash Flow for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and Net Debt as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and (2) corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. We have also provided below (1) the impact of non-cash stock compensation expense, derivative losses, acquisition related professional fees, officer severance, non-cash gain on revaluation of contingent consideration on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share and (2) corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. We have also shown below certain ready-mixed concrete and aggregate products statistics for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

    We define adjusted EBITDA as our net income (loss) from continuing operations, plus the provision (benefit) for income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, derivative (gain) loss, gain (loss) on revaluation of contingent consideration, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, acquisition-related professional fees, and officer severance. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as the amount determined by dividing adjusted EBITDA by total revenue. We have included adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin in the accompanying tables because they are widely used by investors for valuation and comparing our financial performance with the performance of other building material companies. We also use adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to monitor and compare the financial performance of our operations. Adjusted EBITDA does not give effect to the cash we must use to service our debt or pay our income taxes and thus does not reflect the funds actually available for capital expenditures. In addition, our presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies report.

    We define adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share as net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share excluding non-cash stock compensation expense, derivative loss, non-cash gain on revaluation of contingent consideration, acquisition-related professional fees, and officer severance. We present adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share to provide more consistent information for investors to use when comparing operating results for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

    We define Free Cash Flow as cash provided by (used in) operations less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, net of disposals. We consider Free Cash Flow to be an important indicator of our ability to service our debt and generate cash for acquisitions and other strategic investments.

    We define Net Debt as total debt, including current maturities and capital lease obligations, minus cash and cash equivalents. We believe that Net Debt is useful to investors as a measure of our financial position.

    Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported operating results or cash flow from operations or any other measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
