demand / volume
“Aggregates shipments decreased 3.8% to 191.1 million tons in 2024 compared with 198.8 million tons in 2023, reflecting the Company's value-over-volume pricing strategy, unfavorable weather and softer residential, warehouse and manufacturing demand, partially offset by shipments from acquired operations.”

input costs affecting expense
“The increase in Total cost of revenues was primarily driven by a 16% increase in energy costs, driven by higher activity levels, cost inflation and acquisitions, a 4% increase in labor costs, attributable to higher headcount from acquisitions and inflationary pressures, and an 8% increase in depreciation and amortization charges, reflecting the impact of acquisitions, while other costs were 4% ahead of the second quarter of the prior year.”
