"We are very pleased to report our Total Adjusted EBITDA Margin for the second quarter of 2020 was 14.8%, a significant improvement over the prior year second quarter. A comprehensive review of our operations and decisive action by our managers, combined with the highly variable nature of our cost structure, allowed us to achieve these margins, despite the unprecedented disruption in several of our key markets."

Mr. Pruitt continued, "We continue to realize the strategic value of the Coram Materials acquisition, and I'm pleased by the successful integration of that important operation. Our growing presence as a third-party provider of critical aggregate products supports the underlying demand trends in all major markets where we operate. This was evident as we achieved all-time quarterly high revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in our aggregate products segment during the second quarter of 2020.

"Our employees' ability to address rapid changes in our markets during the quarter demonstrates their flexibility and resolve. This is most evident in our re-engineering efforts and sustainable cost containment initiatives that resulted in the operating performance improvements and set the framework to address future changes to our business and demand for our products."
