Florida Rock Industries, Inc. (NYSE:FRK) today announced net income
of $36,054,000 or $.54 per diluted share for the third quarter of
fiscal year 2007 versus $58,317,000 or $.87 per diluted share for
the same quarter of fiscal year 2006. Merger expenses of $4,422,000
($2,852,000 after tax) are included in this third quarter net
income. Consolidated total sales for the quarter decreased 23.6% to
$275,631,000 from $360,993,000 in the same quarter last year driven
by volume decreases in all three segments and lower sales prices
for cement and concrete block. Aggregates volume decreased 20.9%,
ready-mix yards decreased 25.8%, block volume fell 52.9% and cement
tonnage decreased 27.5% over the third quarter of 2006. Gross
profit decreased 30.4% to $84,475,000 compared to $121,405,000 in
the same quarter last year. Aggregate prices at producing locations
were up 16.8% over the third quarter last year and ready-mix
concrete prices held on to a 3.6% year over year gain. Third
quarter FY 2007 operating profit decreased 40.0% to $54,181,000 as
compared to $90,296,000 in the third quarter of 2006. There are no
real estate gains included in this quarter�s operating profit
versus $1,621,000 for the same quarter last year. Selling, general
and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal year
2007 were $30,294,000 or 11.0% of sales as compared to $32,730,000
and 9.1% of sales for the third quarter of 2006. The dollar
decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in profit
sharing and management incentive compensation, which is tied to
earnings exclusive of real estate gains. This year�s third quarter
included $4.4 million of expenses (before taxes) related to the
proposed merger of the Company with Vulcan Materials Company.
Commenting on the third quarter of fiscal year 2007 results,
President and CEO John Baker stated that: �While the significant
decline in residential construction remains with us and is yet to
level out, non-residential and transportation spending remain
strong. We continue to focus on our costs even as we pursue the
remaining steps to consummate our pending merger with Vulcan.� For
the nine months ended June 30, 2007, consolidated total sales
decreased 20.5% to $820,367,000 from $1,031,332,000 in the same
period of fiscal year 2006. For the same period gross profit
decreased 26.8% to $245,012,000 from $334,803,000. Net income for
the nine months decreased 32.6% to $106,543,000 versus $158,142,000
in fiscal year 2006. After-tax real estate gains in 2007 were
$2,565,000 compared to after-tax real estate gains in the first
nine months of 2006 of $2,103,000 (including after-tax gains of
$1,802,000 from an exchange included in other income). Merger
expenses for the nine months were $7,422,000 ($4,787,000 after
tax). Outlook: The outlook for non-residential construction,
highway and infrastructure spending remains positive but
residential construction continues to show weakness with no clear
signs of leveling. The Company will also host a conference call at
11:00 a.m. E.D.T. on Tuesday, July 31, 2007. Analysts, stockholders
