Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion, which presents our results, should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, along with Item 1A. Risk Factors and "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" preceding Item 1 of this report.
Our Business
Our principal business is producing ready-mixed concrete and supplying aggregates in select geographic markets in the United States, U.S. Virgin Islands and Canada.
We operate our business through two primary segments, which are ready-mixed concrete and aggregate products. The results of operations for certain previously sold precast operations have been included in discontinued operations for 2016 and 2017.
Ready-mixed concrete
. Our ready-mixed concrete segment (which represented
86.7%
of our revenue for
2018
) engages principally in the formulation, production 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, Northern 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.
Aggregate products
. Our aggregate products segment (which represented
9.1%
of our revenue for
2018
, excluding
$46.1 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 aggregates for use in commercial, industrial and public works projects, as well as consume them internally in the production of ready-mixed concrete. We produced approximately
10.4 million
tons of aggregates during
2018
, with British Columbia, Canada representing
48%
, Texas / Oklahoma representing
30%
, New Jersey representing
19%
and the U.S. Virgin Islands representing
3%
of the total production. We consumed
32%
of our aggregate production internally and sold
68%
to third-party customers in
2018
. We believe our aggregates reserves provide us with additional raw materials sourcing flexibility and supply availability. In addition, we own one quarry in West Texas, which we lease to third parties and receive a royalty based on the volumes produced and sold during the terms of the leases.
Overview
The geographic markets for our products are generally local, except for our Canadian aggregate products operation, which 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 those 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 are 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 sales volume in 2018 increased
6.3%
to
9.5 million
cubic yards from
9.0 million
cubic yards in 2017. Sales volume for 2018 was up compared to 2017, primarily due to increased construction activity and acquisitions completed in 2018 and the latter portion of 2017. In addition, our average ready-mixed concrete sales price rose
1.2%
from 2017 to
2018
, resulting in the 8th consecutive year of increased average selling prices.
We were able to leverage efficiencies to drive incremental margins on higher volume during 2018.
Partially offsetting these improvements was higher cement and aggregate costs, some of which we were not able to pass through to our customers. We continue to closely monitor our operating costs and capital expenditures.
In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria made landfall in the U.S. Virgin Islands ("USVI"). These storms resulted in extensive damage, flooding and power outages throughout the islands for an extended period of time. We recorded impairments related to inventory and property, plant and equipment of approximately
$1.1 million
in 2017. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2017, based on the uncertainty of the timing of the business recovery and its impact on our projected cash flows, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of
$5.8 million
, representing a full impairment of the goodwill related to our USVI operations. Although we had not fully restored our operations by the end of 2018, our USVI volume and revenue had returned to pre-hurricane levels.
Basis of Presentation
Our chief operating decision maker reviews operating results based on our two reportable segments, which are ready-mixed concrete and aggregate products, and evaluates segment performance and allocates resources based on Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our income from continuing operations, excluding the impact of income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and amortization, net interest expense and certain other non-cash, non-recurring and/or unusual, non-operating items including, but not limited to: non-cash stock compensation expense, non-cash change in value of contingent consideration, impairment of assets, acquisition-related costs, officer transition expenses, quarry dredge costs for specific event, hurricane-related losses, net of recoveries and derivative loss (income). Acquisition-related costs consist of fees and expenses for accountants, lawyers and other professionals incurred during the negotiation and closing of strategic acquisitions and certain acquired entities' management severance costs. Acquisition-related costs do not include fees or expenses associated with post-closing integration of strategic acquisitions. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), and is not a measure of our cash flows or ability to fund our cash needs. Our measurement 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 our various agreements, including the Third Loan Agreement and the Indenture. See
Note 19, "Segment Information,
" to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information regarding our segments and the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
We completed five acquisitions during 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, which 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. During 2018, we sold our Dallas/Fort Worth area lime operations, a Michigan aggregates property, and an aggregates operation in New Jersey that no longer fit into our operating plans.

(1) "NM" is defined as "not meaningful."
(2) Our calculation of the aggregate products segment average sales price ("ASP") excludes certain other ancillary revenue and Polaris’s freight revenue. We define revenue for our aggregate products ASP calculation as amounts billed to external and internal customers for coarse and fine aggregate products, excluding delivery charges. Our definition and calculation of ASP may differ from other companies in the construction materials industry.
Revenue.
Our
2018
total revenue grew by
$170.4 million
, or
12.8%
, year-over-year primarily driven by contributions from our acquisitions. We estimate that acquisitions completed after April 1, 2017 accounted for approximately $154.7 million, or 90.8%, of our
2018
revenue increase. As our business is seasonal and subject to adverse weather, our 2018 results were negatively impacted by inclement weather in various regions and during various periods of the year. Ready-mixed concrete sales grew by
$93.5 million
, or
7.7%
, driven by a
6.3%
increase in sales volume and a
1.2%
increase in our average selling price. Sales of aggregate products rose to
$182.6 million
in
2018
from
$90.7 million
in
2017
, an increase of
$91.9 million
, or
101.3%
, due to a
79.3%
increase in volume partially offset by a
12.7%
decrease in average selling price. The aggregate products revenue increase included $43.8 million of shipping revenue attributable to Polaris Materials ("Polaris"), the construction aggregate producer in British Columbia, Canada, which we acquired near the end of 2017. Other product revenue and eliminations, which included aggregates distribution, building materials, lime slurry, hauling business, aggregate recycling, concrete block and eliminations of our intersegment sales, decreased by
$15.0 million
, or
46.4%
, from
$32.3 million
in
2017
, to
$17.3 million
in
2018
, primarily due to decreased aggregates distribution sales and the impact of increased intersegment sales.
Cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A").
Cost of goods sold before DD&A increased
$155.6 million
, or
14.7%
, in
2018
as compared to 2017, primarily attributable to the increase in revenue. The volume growth in our ready-mixed concrete segment resulted in higher material costs, delivery costs and variable costs, which primarily includes labor and benefits, shipping, utilities and repairs and maintenance. Our increased variable costs were primarily driven by Polaris' shipping expenses. Our fixed costs increased over the comparable prior year period primarily due to higher costs to operate our facilities, as well as operating additional locations and trucks in 2018. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold before DD&A increased from
79.1%
in 2017 to
80.5%
in 2018.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.
SG&A expenses for
2018
increased
$7.3 million
, or
6.1%
, as compared to 2017. The increase resulted from various factors, including: marketing and promotions, non-cash stock compensation expense, litigation settlement costs, the impact of additional costs of acquired businesses, and other general and administrative expenses incurred by our corporate and regional offices to support our growth initiatives and acquisition strategy. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses decreased from
8.9%
in
2017
to
8.4%
in
2018
.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization.
DD&A expense for
2018
increased
$24.0 million
, or
35.4%
, primarily related to depreciation on additional plants, equipment and mixer trucks purchased to service increased demand or acquired through recent acquisitions and depletion on acquired mineral deposits. Approximately 50% of the increase was attributable to Polaris.
Change in value of contingent consideration.
We recorded net non-cash expense of less than $0.1 million for the revaluation of contingent consideration in
2018
compared to
$7.9 million
in
2017
. These non-cash expenses were related to the fair value changes in contingent consideration associated with certain acquisitions. The key inputs in determining the fair value of our contingent consideration at
December 31, 2018
included discount rates ranging from
3.70%
to
15.75%
and management's estimates of future sales volumes, amount of reserves permitted and EBITDA. Changes in these inputs impact the valuation of our contingent consideration and result in gain or loss in each reporting period. The non-cash expense from fair value changes in contingent consideration in 2018 was primarily due to the offsetting changes in the probability-weighted assumptions related to the achievement of permitted reserves and those related to future EBITDA thresholds. The non-cash expense from fair value changes in contingent consideration in 2017 was primarily due to the changes in the probability-weighted assumptions related to the achievement of sales volumes and EBITDA thresholds.
Impairment of goodwill and other assets.
We recorded a
$1.3 million
non-cash impairment in the second quarter of 2018 to reduce an aggregate property to its fair value. The asset was near the end of its economic life and was sold in the third quarter of 2018. In 2017, we recorded a non-cash impairment of $6.2 million, of which $5.8 million related to an impairment of goodwill for our USVI operations as a result of the fourth quarter annual goodwill impairment evaluation. The rest of the 2017 amount related to property, plant and equipment in the USVI that was destroyed by the hurricanes.
Gain on sale of business and assets, net.
The net
$15.3 million
gain on sale of business and assets recorded in
2018
was primarily as a result of the divestiture of our lime operations in the third quarter of 2018. In addition, we recorded net gains on sales of excess vehicles and equipment in both 2018 and 2017.
Interest expense, net.
Net interest expense increased by
$4.4 million
, or
10.5%
, to
$46.4 million
in
2018
from
$42.0 million
in
2017
, primarily due to borrowings under our asset-based revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") and an increase in capital leases.
Income tax expense
.
We recorded income tax expense allocated to continuing operations of approximately $16.8 million for 2018 and $12.4 million for 2017. For 2018, our effective tax rate differed substantially from the federal statutory rate primarily due to $6.6 million of additional income tax expense to record a valuation allowance for an interest expense limitation carryforward attribute resulting from the Tax Act (defined below), which we do not believe is more likely than not to be realized under the current interpretation of the applicable statute. For 2017, our effective tax rate differed substantially from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the adjustment of our net deferred income tax liability to reflect the change in the federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%, for which we recorded a provisional non-cash $7.6 million deferred income tax benefit.
Under U.S. tax law, we treat our Canadian and USVI subsidiaries (collectively, “foreign subsidiaries”) as controlled foreign corporations. We consider the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, if any, and other outside basis differences in our investments in our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested and no foreign withholding or other income taxes have been provided thereon. Due to the complexities in the tax laws, it is not practicable to estimate the amount of deferred incomes taxes not recorded that are associated with those earnings or other outside basis differences. We have not, nor do we currently anticipate in the foreseeable future, the need to repatriate funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements.
In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). The Tax Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, the following that impacted us: (1) reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%; (2) extension and expansion of the bonus depreciation provisions; (3) creation of a new limitation on deductible interest expense; (4) enactment of a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) of foreign subsidiaries; (5) repeal of the domestic production activities deduction; (6) further limitation of the deductibility of certain executive compensation; and (7) limitation of certain other deductions. During 2018, we completed our accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act and recognized $2.1 million of income tax expense as a reduction to the provisional tax benefits recognized in 2017.

Revenue.
Our ready-mixed concrete sales provided
86.7%
and
90.8%
of our total revenue in
2018
and
2017
, respectively. Segment revenue for
2018
increased
$93.5 million
, or
7.7%
, over
2017
levels. We estimate that approximately $74.4 million of this increase, or 79.6%, was due to acquisitions completed after April 1, 2017. The
2018
revenue increase was driven by the
6.3%
increase in sales volume, or
562 thousand
cubic yards, and the
1.2%
increase in our average selling price. The majority of the sales volume increase was in Texas and California. Increased volume provided
$75.8 million
, or 81.1%, of our ready-mixed concrete revenue growth, and the higher average selling price provided $17.7 million, or 18.9%, of our ready-mixed concrete revenue growth.
Adjusted EBITDA.
In 2018, our ready-mixed concrete Adjusted EBITDA decreased
$6.6 million
, or
3.6%
, as compared to 2017. While our revenue for the segment increased, multiple weather events throughout the country during 2018, which when combined with costs relating to driver shortages and increased raw materials costs, hindered profitability. Our variable costs primarily consist of raw material costs, labor and benefits costs, utilities and delivery costs, all of which were higher in 2018 than in 2017. Our fixed costs primarily consist of property taxes, equipment rental, quality control, dispatch and plant management costs. In
2018
, our fixed costs increased 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. Segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of segment revenue decreased to
13.7%
in
2018
.

(1) Our calculation of the aggregate products segment ASP excludes certain other ancillary revenue and Polaris’s freight revenue. We define revenue for our aggregate products ASP calculation as amounts billed to external and internal customers for coarse and fine aggregate products, excluding delivery charges. Our definition and calculation of ASP may differ from other companies in the construction materials industry.
Revenue.
Sales of our aggregate products provided
9.1%
and
3.7%
of our total revenue for
2018
and
2017
, respectively, excluding intersegment sales of
$46.1 million
and
$40.9 million
, respectively. Segment revenue increased
$91.9 million
, or
101.3%
, over prior year levels. We estimate that $86.8 million, or 94.5%, of the revenue increase was due to recent acquisitions, the most significant of which was Polaris.
We sell our aggregate products to external customers and internally to our ready-mixed concrete segment at market price. Our sales volume increased
4.9 million
tons, which provided
$63.5 million
, or
69.1%
, of our aggregate products revenue increase. Polaris shipping charges to deliver aggregate products to external customers, as well as other charges, all of which are included in revenue, increased
$46.6 million
, providing
50.7%
of our increase in aggregate products revenue. The acquisitions of Corbett and Polaris in 2017 resulted in a shift in product mix, which resulted in an overall lower ASP for the segment in 2018 as compared to 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA for our aggregate products segment increased to
$41.6 million
in
2018
from
$27.2 million
in
2017
, primarily reflecting the higher sales volume partially offset by the related higher cost of goods sold associated with the increased volume. Our variable costs associated with cost of goods sold, which includes quarry labor and benefits, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and pit costs to prepare the stone and gravel for use, all rose due to the higher sales volumes. Our quarry fixed costs, which primarily include property taxes, equipment rental and plant management costs, were higher compared to the previous year. Overall, our segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of segment revenue improved to
30.5%
in
2018
from
30.0%
in
2017
.

Revenue.
Our 2017 total revenue grew by $167.8 million, or 14.4%, year-over-year primarily due to increased ready-mixed concrete sales both organically and through recent acquisitions. We estimate that acquisitions completed after January 1, 2016 accounted for approximately $101.8 million, or 60.6%, of our 2017 revenue increase. All of our major markets experienced higher total revenue for 2017 compared to 2016. Our 2017 results were negatively impacted by inclement weather in various regions and during various periods of the year, including Hurricanes Irma and Maria, which hit our USVI operations in September 2017. Because of these hurricanes, our USVI operations were essentially shut down for several months following the storms and were not fully operational at the end 2017.
Ready-mixed concrete sales grew by $152.0 million, or 14.3%, driven by a 10.6% increase in sales volume and a 3.5% increase in our average selling price. Sales of aggregate products rose to $90.7 million in 2017 from $76.4 million in 2016, an increase of $14.3 million, or 18.7%, due to an 11.4% increase in volume and a 7.9% increase in average selling price. Other product revenue and eliminations, which includes aggregates distribution, building materials, lime slurry, hauling business, aggregate recycling, concrete block and eliminations of our intersegment sales, increased by $1.5 million, or 4.9%, from $30.8 million in 2016, to $32.3 million in 2017, primarily due to increased aggregates distribution sales.
Cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization.
Cost of goods sold before DD&A increased $134.3 million, or 14.6%, in 2017 as compared to 2016, primarily attributable to the increase in revenue. The volume growth in our ready-mixed concrete segment resulted in higher material costs, delivery costs and plant variable costs. 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. Cost of goods sold before DD&A also increased in 2017 due to higher self-insurance reserves for certain workers’ compensation and automobile liability losses, the margin impact of certain purchase accounting adjustments related to inventory and quarry dredge costs for a specific event. Cost of goods sold before DD&A includes the impact of costs in our USVI operations for September through December of 2017, including an impairment of inventory, with significantly lower corresponding revenue due to Hurricanes Irma and Maria. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold before DD&A increased slightly.
Selling, general and administrative expenses.
SG&A expenses for 2017 increased $19.2 million, or 19.2% as compared to 2016. The increase resulted from various factors, including: acquisition related professional fees, which increased $7.9 million; non-cash stock compensation expense, which increased $1.2 million due to the fair value of awards granted in 2017; higher personnel expenses, including certain officer transition expenses; and other general and administrative expenses by our corporate and regional offices to support our growth initiatives and acquisition strategy. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses increased from 8.6% in 2016 to 8.9% in 2017.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization.
DD&A expense for 2017 increased $12.9 million, or 23.5%, primarily related to depreciation on additional plants, equipment and mixer trucks purchased to service increased demand or acquired through recent acquisitions as well as incremental intangible amortization expense of $4.2 million related to our acquisitions.
Change in value of contingent consideration.
We recorded non-cash expense of $7.9 million for the revaluation of contingent consideration in 2017 compared to $5.2 million in 2016. These non-cash expenses were related to the fair value changes in contingent consideration associated with certain acquisitions. The non-cash expense from fair value changes in contingent consideration in 2017 was primarily due to the changes in the probability-weighted assumptions related to the achievement of sales volumes and EBITDA thresholds. The non-cash expense from fair value changes in contingent consideration in 2016 was primarily due to the passage of time as well as changes in the probability-weighted assumptions related to the achievement of sales volumes.
Impairment of goodwill and other assets.
We recorded a non-cash impairment of $6.2 million in 2017, of which $5.8 million related to an impairment of goodwill for our USVI operations as a result of the fourth quarter annual goodwill impairment evaluation. The remainder of the amount was related to destroyed property, plant and equipment also in our USVI operations.
Gain on sale of assets, net.
We recorded a net gain on disposal of assets of $0.7 million in 2017 versus $1.4 million in 2016. Our gain on sale of assets in 2017 and 2016 included sales of excess vehicles and equipment. Our gain on sale of assets in 2016 was primarily related to land sales in Texas.
Operating income.
Operating income decreased $8.2 million to $79.0 million in 2017 from $87.2 million in 2016. Operating income as a percentage of revenue decreased to 5.9% in 2017 as compared to 7.5% in 2016, primarily reflecting higher SG&A and DD&A expenses, as well as higher self-insurance reserves for certain workers’ compensation and automobile liability losses and the impact of hurricane losses. Partially offsetting these higher costs was an estimated $7.9 million contribution to operating income from our 2017 and 2016 acquisitions.
Interest expense, net.
Net interest expense increased by $14.3 million, or 51.6%, to $42.0 million in 2017 from $27.7 million in 2016, primarily related to higher debt levels, partially offset by lower effective interest rates in 2017 as compared to 2016.
Derivative loss.
We recorded a non-cash loss on derivatives of $0.8 million in 2017 and $19.9 million in 2016 related to the fair value changes in our Warrants which expired on August 31, 2017. These non-cash losses were primarily due to increases in the price of our common stock.
Loss on extinguishment of debt.
For 2016, we recorded a $12.0 million pre-tax loss on early extinguishment of debt. The loss consisted of a redemption premium of $8.5 million and a $3.5 million non-cash loss for the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.
Income tax expense
.
We recorded income tax expense allocated to continuing operations of approximately $12.4 million for 2017 and $21.2 million for 2016. For 2017, our effective tax rate differed substantially from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the adjustment to our net deferred income tax liability from the change to the federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%, for which we recorded a non-cash $7.6 million deferred income tax benefit. For 2016, our effective tax rate differed substantially from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the tax impact of our Warrants, for which we recorded a $19.9 million non-cash derivative loss. The derivative loss was excluded from the calculation of our income tax provision, thus increasing our tax expense. In addition, certain state income taxes were calculated on bases different from pre-tax income (loss), which resulted in recording income tax expense in certain states with a pre-tax loss.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, intra-period tax allocation provisions require allocation of a tax expense or benefit to continuing operations due to current income (loss) from discontinued operations. We recorded a tax benefit of $0.5 million for 2017 and $0.4 million for 2016 allocated to discontinued operations.
Under U.S. tax law, we have elected to treat our U.S. Virgin Island subsidiaries as controlled foreign corporations. As such, we would normally consider our undistributed earnings of our U.S. Virgin Island subsidiaries, if any, to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, we would normally not record incremental U.S. income taxes thereon. As of December 31, 2017, our U.S. Virgin Islands subsidiaries had no undistributed earnings, which was due to recent losses.
Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes.
The results of operations for our previously sold precast concrete units located in Pennsylvania, California and Arizona were included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. We recorded a pre-tax loss of $1.1 million and $1.2 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively, primarily related to real estate leases and subleases that expired by June 30, 2018.

Revenue.
Our ready-mixed concrete sales provided 90.8% of our total revenue in both 2017 and 2016. Segment revenue for 2017 increased
$152.0 million
, or
14.3%
, over 2016 levels. We estimate that approximately $90.1 million of this increase, or 59.3%, was due to acquisitions completed after January 1, 2016. The 2017 revenue increase was driven primarily by a 10.6% increase in sales volume, or 0.9 million cubic yards. Increased volume provided $112.4 million, or 73.9%, of our ready-mixed concrete revenue growth, and a 3.5% increase in average selling price provided $39.6 million, or 26.1%, of our ready-mixed concrete revenue growth. Our sales volume in 2017 was higher in all of our major metropolitan markets due to increased construction activity and acquisitions despite more adverse weather days. In addition, the average selling price increased in all of our major metropolitan markets in which we operate. Hurricanes Irma and Maria hit our USVI operations in September 2017 and had a negative impact on our ready-mixed concrete revenue, as our USVI operations were essentially shut down for several months following the storms and were not fully operational by the end of 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA for our ready-mixed concrete segment increased by
$28.3 million
, or
18.0%
. We estimate that $17.3 million, or 61.1%, of our 2017 Adjusted EBITDA increase resulted from acquisitions completed after January 1, 2016. Driving the growth in Adjusted EBITDA was a 10.6% increase in sales volume and a 3.5% increase in our average selling price, which resulted in $152.0 million in higher revenue. Partially offsetting the growth in revenue was the increased cost of goods sold associated with the higher volume of sales. Our variable costs, which include primarily raw material costs, labor and benefits costs, utilities and delivery costs, were all higher primarily due to the increased volume. Our fixed costs, which consist primarily of property taxes, equipment rental, quality control, dispatch and plant management costs, increased during 2017 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. Segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of segment revenue increased to 15.3% in 2017. We were able to leverage increased efficiencies to drive incremental margins on higher volume.

(1) Our calculation of the aggregate products segment ASP excludes certain other ancillary revenue and Polaris’s freight revenue. We define revenue for our aggregate products ASP calculation as amounts billed to external and internal customers for coarse and fine aggregate products, excluding delivery charges. Our definition and calculation of ASP may differ from other companies in the construction materials industry.
Revenue.
Sales of our aggregate products provided 3.7% and 3.6% of our total revenue for 2017 and 2016, respectively, excluding intersegment sales of $40.9 million and $34.7 million, respectively. Segment revenue increased $14.3 million, or 18.7%, over prior year levels. We estimate that $13.6 million, or 95.1%, of the revenue increase was due to recent acquisitions. Hurricanes Irma and Maria hit our USVI operations in September 2017 and had a negative impact on our aggregate products revenue, as our USVI operations were essentially shut down for several months following the storms and were not fully operational by the end of 2017.
We sell our aggregate products to external customers and internally to our ready-mixed concrete segment at a market price. Approximately 45.1% of our 2017 aggregate products sales, or $40.9 million, were to our ready-mixed concrete segment, versus 45.4%, or $34.7 million, in 2016. Our sales volume increased 0.6 million tons, which provided approximately $7.6 million, or 53.1%, of our aggregate products revenue increase. Contributing to our overall aggregate products revenue was an increase in our average selling price of 7.9%, which resulted in approximately $5.9 million, or 41.3%, of our increase in aggregate products revenue. Freight charges to deliver aggregate products to external customers, as well as other charges, all of which are included in revenue, increased approximately $0.8 million providing 5.6% of our increase in aggregate products revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA for our aggregate products segment increased to
$27.2 million
in 2017 from
$21.7 million
in 2016, primarily reflecting the higher sales volume and higher average selling price, partially offset by the related higher cost of goods sold associated with the increased volume. Our variable costs associated with cost of goods sold, which includes quarry labor and benefits, utilities, repairs and maintenance, pit costs to prepare the stone and gravel for use and delivery costs, all rose due to the higher sales volumes. Our quarry fixed costs, which include primarily property taxes, equipment rental and plant management costs, were higher compared to the previous year. Overall, our segment Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of segment revenue was
30.0%
in 2017 and 28.4% in 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and access to our Revolving Facility, which provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $350 million, subject to a borrowing base.
We ended
2018
with
$20.0 million
of cash and cash equivalents and had
$243.7 million
available for future borrowings under the Revolving Facility, providing total available liquidity of
$263.7 million
.

(1) Total debt includes long-term debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, including current maturities, capital leases, notes payable and outstanding 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 Third Loan Agreement 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. 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, 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 adversely affect our sales volumes and/or gross margins.

The discussion that follows provides a description of our arrangements relating to our outstanding indebtedness.
Asset Based Revolving Credit Facility ("Revolving Facility")
We have a senior secured asset-based credit facility with certain financial institutions named therein as lenders (the "Lenders") and Bank of America, N.A., as agent for the Lenders that provides for up to $350.0 million of revolving borrowings. The Revolving Facility also permits the incurrence of other secured indebtedness not to exceed certain amounts as specified therein. The Revolving Facility provides 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.
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 other adjustments, as specified in the Third Loan Agreement, which matures August 31, 2022.
The Third Loan Agreement contains usual and customary 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 covenants are subject to certain exceptions as specified in the Third Loan Agreement. The Third Loan Agreement also requires that we, upon the occurrence of certain events, maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 for each period of 12 calendar months. As of
December 31, 2018
, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Third Loan Agreement.
Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024
We have 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, which is payable 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 were 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.
Other Debt
We have financing agreements with various lenders for the purchase of mixer trucks and other machinery and equipment with
$99.5 million
in remaining principal as of
December 31, 2018
.
For additional information regarding our arrangements relating to outstanding indebtedness, see the information set forth in
Note 8, "Debt,"

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 including non-controlling interest. Net cash provided by operating activities in
2018
was
$122.8 million
compared to
$94.8 million
in
2017
and
$116.0 million
in
2016
. Overall, the generation of cash from operations in
2018
,
2017
and
2016
was driven primarily by the increase in revenue and operating performance of the Company, with 2017 being impacted by higher payments of interest and income taxes.
We used
$91.7 million
to fund investing activities in
2018
,
$334.3 million
in
2017
and
$162.7 million
in
2016
. We paid
$72.3 million
,
$295.1 million
and
$127.9 million
to fund acquisitions in
2018
,
2017
and
2016
, respectively. In addition, we incurred
$39.9 million
,
$42.7 million
and
$40.4 million
in
2018
,
2017
and
2016
, respectively, primarily to fund purchases of machinery and equipment as well as mixers, trucks and other vehicles to service our business. Investing activities also included proceeds from the sale of businesses and property, plant and equipment of
$20.7 million
,
$3.5 million
and
$4.3 million
during
2018
,
2017
and
2016
, respectively. Proceeds were higher in 2018 primarily from the sale of our Dallas / Fort Worth area lime operations.
We expect our capital expenditures for 2019 to be between $60.0 million and $70.0 million, including expenditures financed through capital leases, but excluding any acquisitions. These capital expenditures are planned primarily for maintenance and expansion, land purchases and new plants, as well as plant improvements, plant equipment, drum mixer trucks and other rolling stock. In addition to financing certain of these expenditures through capital leases, we expect to fund these expenditures with cash flows from operations and existing cash and cash equivalents. Our capital expenditure budget and allocation of it to the foregoing investments are estimates and are subject to change.
Our net cash used in financing activities was
$33.4 million
in
2018
compared to net cash provided by financing activities of
$186.3 million
in
2017
and
$118.6 million
in
2016
. Financing activities in
2018
included
$6.0 million
of net borrowings under our Revolving Facility to operate our business and fund acquisitions. In addition, we made payments of
$29.6 million
related to our capital leases and other financings and paid
$5.9 million
for contingent and deferred consideration obligations. We also repurchased
0.2 million
shares of our common stock at a cost of
$6.7 million
during 2018 under the Second Share Repurchase Program.
Financing activities in 2017 included the proceeds from a $200.0 million offering of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2024, including the premium on the issue price and net of related debt issuance costs, as well as $9.0 million of net borrowings under our Revolving Facility to operate our business and fund acquisitions. In addition, we made payments of $20.3 million related to our capital leases and other financings and paid $9.0 million for contingent and deferred consideration obligations. Also during 2017, we received proceeds of $2.7 million from exercises of Warrants and stock options.
Financing activities in 2016 included the proceeds from our $400.0 million 2024 Notes offering, net of related debt issuance costs; redemption of $200.0 million of our senior secured notes due 2018, including an $8.5 million redemption premium; and repayment of our then existing borrowings under our Revolving Facility. In addition, we made payments of
$13.4 million
related to our capital leases and other financings and paid
$4.7 million
for contingent and deferred consideration obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than our operating leases, which are shown below, we do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on our financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. At
December 31, 2018
, we had
$17.6 million
of undrawn letters of credit outstanding. We are also contingently liable for performance under
$36.6 million
in performance bonds relating to our operations. For additional discussion on our operating leases, see
Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies,"

The following long-term liabilities included on the consolidated balance sheet are excluded from the table above: accrued employment costs, income tax contingencies, self-insurance accruals and other accruals. Due to the nature of these accruals, the estimated timing of such payments (or contributions in the case of certain accrued employment costs) for these items is not predictable. As of
December 31, 2018
, the total unrecognized tax benefit related to uncertain tax positions was
$4.6 million
. We believe it is unlikely a reduction in our uncertain tax positions will occur within the next 12 months.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. See
Note 1, "Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,"
to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for more information about our significant accounting policies. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to our financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We have listed below those policies which we believe are critical and involve complex judgment in their application to our financial statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from our estimates.
Business Combinations
The acquisition method of accounting requires that we recognize the net assets acquired in business combinations at their acquisition date fair value. Goodwill is measured as the consideration transferred at the acquisition date in excess of the net fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The measurement of the fair value of net assets acquired requires considerable judgment. Although independent appraisals may be used to assist in the determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, the appraised values are usually based on significant estimates provided by management, such as forecasted revenue or profit.
In determining the fair value of intangible assets, we utilize the cost approach (primarily through the cost-to-recreate method), the market approach and the income approach. The income approach may incorporate the use of a discounted cash flow method. In applying the discounted cash flow method, the estimated future cash flows and residual values for each intangible asset are discounted to a present value using a discount rate based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital for the building materials industry. These cash flow projections are based on management’s estimates of economic and market conditions including revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements.
While we use our best estimates and assumptions as part of the process to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, our estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. During the measurement period, which occurs before finalization of the purchase price allocation, changes in assumptions and estimates that result in adjustments to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded in the period they are determined, with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the conclusion of the measurement period will be recorded to our consolidated statements of operations. See
Note 2, "Business Combinations,"
to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information about our acquisitions.
Goodwill and Goodwill Impairment
We record as goodwill the amount by which the total purchase price we pay in our acquisition transactions exceeds our estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets we acquire. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. The impairment evaluation of goodwill is a critical accounting estimate because goodwill represented
17.5%
of the Company's total assets at December 31, 2018, the evaluation requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions and considerable management judgment, and an impairment charge could be material to the Company's financial condition and its results of operations. We generally test for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year.
The Company's reporting units, which represent the level at which goodwill is tested for impairment, are based on the geographic regions within its operating segments. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units and compare the result to the reporting unit's carrying value. We generally estimate the fair value using an equally weighted combination of discounted cash flows and multiples of invested capital to EBITDA. The discounted cash flow model includes forecasts for revenue and cash flows discounted at our weighted average cost of capital. Multiples of invested capital to EBITDA are calculated using a weighted average of two selected 12 month periods results by reporting unit compared to the enterprise value of the Company, which is determined based on the combination of the market value of our common stock and total outstanding debt. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, the impairment is determined to be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
We completed our annual impairment assessment during the fourth quarter of 2018 as of October 1, 2018, and determined that there was no impairment. Our fair value estimates were determined using estimates and assumptions that we believed were reasonable at the time, including assumptions regarding future operating results for businesses we have recently acquired. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainty. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. Changes in those assumptions or estimates with respect to a reporting unit or its prospects, which may result from a change in market conditions, market trends, interest rates or other factors outside of our control, or significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, could significantly impact the calculated fair value of the reporting units, and could result in an impairment charge in the future. See
Note 6, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net,"
to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information about our goodwill.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance related to the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. We compare the carrying values of long-lived assets to our projection of future undiscounted cash flows attributable to those assets. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows we project will be derived from that asset, we record an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. Actual useful lives and future cash flows could be different from those that we estimate. These differences could have a material effect on our future operating results. In the second quarter of 2018, we recorded a
$1.3 million
non-cash impairment for an aggregate property that was near the end of its economic life and was sold in the third quarter of 2018.
Insurance Programs
We maintain third-party insurance coverage in amounts and against the risks we believe are reasonable. We share the risk of loss with our insurance underwriters by maintaining high deductibles subject to aggregate annual loss limitations. We believe our workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability per occurrence retentions are consistent with industry practices and suitable for a company of our size and with our risk profile, although there are variations among our business units. We fund these deductibles and record an expense for losses we expect 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 from various sources, including changes in claims reporting and settlement patterns, claims development, safety practices, judicial decisions, new legislation and economic conditions. Although we believe the estimated losses are reasonable, significant differences related to the items we have noted above could materially affect our insurance obligations and future expense. The amount accrued for these self-insurance claims, which was classified in accrued liabilities and other long-term obligations, was
$20.4 million
as of
December 31, 2018
and
$19.2 million
as of
December 31, 2017
.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, we record deferred income taxes based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and use enacted tax rates and laws that we expect will be in effect when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. In cases where the expiration date of tax loss carryforwards or other tax attributes or the projected operating results indicate that realization is not likely, we provide for a valuation allowance.
We have deferred tax assets resulting from deductible temporary differences that may reduce taxable income in future periods. A valuation allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all positive and negative evidence including reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets could be impacted by changes in tax laws, changes in statutory tax rates and future taxable income levels. If we were to determine that we are unable to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts through a charge to income tax expense in the period in which the determination is made. Conversely, if we were to determine that we can realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, we would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through a decrease to income tax expense in the period in which the determination is made. Based on these considerations, we had valuation allowances as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 of $9.2 million and $20.7 million, respectively, for certain deferred tax assets due to uncertainty regarding their ultimate realization. In 2018, we established an additional valuation allowance of $6.6 million related to an interest expense limitation carryforward attribute resulting from the Tax Act, which we do not believe is more likely than not to be realized under the current interpretation of the applicable statute.
Additionally, the valuation allowance of
$2.6 million
related to our New Jersey state net operating losses was released due to recent state law changes that will allow us to utilize those attributes before they expire.
In the ordinary course of business, there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying our income tax positions. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the highest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. Because of the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of unrecognized tax benefits. These differences, should they occur, will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which new information is available. See
Note 14, "Income Taxes,"
to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for further discussion.
Contingent Consideration
We record an estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration within accrued liabilities and other long-term obligations. On a quarterly basis, we revalue the liabilities and record increases or decreases in the fair value as an adjustment to earnings. Changes to the contingent consideration liabilities can result from adjustments to the discount rate, accretion of interest expense due to the passage of time or changes in the assumptions regarding probabilities of successful achievement of related milestones and the estimated timing in which the milestones are achieved. The assumptions used in estimating fair value require significant judgment. The use of different assumptions and judgments could result in a materially different estimate of fair value. The key inputs in determining fair value of our contingent consideration obligations, which were
$60.7 million
and
$61.8 million
at
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, respectively, included discount rates ranging from
3.70%
to
15.75%
and management's estimates of future sales volumes, amount of reserves permitted and EBITDA. For further information, see
Note 12, "Fair Value Disclosures,"
to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information about our contingent consideration obligations.
Other
We record accruals for legal and other contingencies when estimated future expenditures associated with those contingencies become probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. However, new information may become available, or circumstances (such as applicable laws and regulations) may change, thereby resulting in an increase or decrease in the amount required to be accrued for such matters (and, therefore, a decrease or increase in reported net income in the period of such change).

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of U.S. Concrete, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of U.S. Concrete, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, total equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 26, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
U.S. Concrete, Inc., a Delaware corporation, provides ready-mixed concrete, aggregates and concrete-related products and services to the construction industry in several major markets in the United States. U.S. Concrete, Inc. is a holding company and conducts its businesses through its consolidated subsidiaries. In these notes to the consolidated financial statements (these "Notes"), we refer to U.S. Concrete, Inc. and its subsidiaries as "we," "us," "our," the "Company," or "U.S. Concrete," unless we specifically state otherwise or the context indicates otherwise.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements consist of the accounts of U.S. Concrete, Inc. and its majority or wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain computations may be impacted by the effect of rounding.
For acquisitions accounted for as business combinations, all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their respective fair value as of the date of the acquisition. For all acquisitions accounted for as business combinations or asset purchases, the results of operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the respective date of acquisition. During 2018, we completed
five
acquisitions that were accounted for as business combinations and included
20
standard ready-mixed concrete plants,
two
quarries and related assets and liabilities (see
Note 2
). During 2017, we completed
eight
acquisitions that were accounted for as business combinations and included
seven
standard ready-mixed concrete plants,
two
quarries,
four
aggregate distribution terminals and related assets and liabilities (see
Note 2
).
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform with the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("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, intangibles, valuation of contingent consideration, accruals for self-insurance, income taxes, the valuation of inventory and the valuation and useful lives of property, plant and equipment.
Business Combinations
Effective January 1, 2018, we follow the new accounting guidance for business combinations that clarifies 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 guidance provides a screen to determine when a set of assets is not of 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 similarly identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen is intended to reduce the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated.
We account for business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, we recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contingent liabilities and deferred payment obligations, based on the fair value estimates as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets, including intangible assets, acquired.
U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fair value measurement of the identified net assets requires the significant use of estimates and is based on information that was available to management at the time these consolidated financial statements were prepared. The estimates used for determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities related to acquisitions are considered Level 3 inputs (as defined in
Note 12
). We utilize recognized valuation techniques, including the income approach, sales approach and cost approach to value the net assets acquired. The impact of changes to the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. Final valuations of assets and liabilities are obtained and recorded as soon as practical, but no later than one year from the date of the acquisition. See
Note 12
for additional information regarding valuation of contingent consideration obligations, including maximum payout amounts and how the fair value was estimated.
Foreign Currency
The Company accounts for its Canadian operations using the United States dollar ("US dollar") as the functional currency, as the primary economic environment in which the entity operates is the United States. Transactions in Canadian dollars are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars are remeasured at the rates prevailing at that date. Foreign currency differences arising on remeasurement of monetary items are recognized in earnings. During 2017, we recorded net foreign exchange rate losses of
$1.9 million
primarily related to the funding of the Polaris (as defined in
Note 2
) acquisition.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We record as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments having maturities of three months or less at the original date of purchase. Our cash equivalents may include money market accounts, certificates of deposit and commercial paper of highly rated corporate or government issuers. We classify our cash equivalents as held-to-maturity. Cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. The maximum amount placed in any one financial institution is limited in order to reduce risk. At times, our cash and investments may be in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. We have not experienced any losses on these accounts. Cash held as collateral or escrowed for contingent liabilities, if any, is included in other current and noncurrent assets based on the expected release date of the underlying obligation.
Business and Credit Concentrations
We grant credit, generally without collateral, to our customers, which include general contractors, municipalities and commercial companies located primarily in Texas, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., California, Oklahoma, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Hawaii. Consequently, we are subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business and economic factors in those states and territories. We generally have lien rights in the work we perform, and concentrations of credit risk are limited because of the diversity of our customer base. Further, our management believes that our contract acceptance, billing and collection policies are adequate to limit potential credit risk. We did not have any customers that accounted for more than 10% of our revenue or any suppliers that accounted for more than 10% of our cost of goods sold in
2018
,
2017
or
2016
. We did not have any customers that accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable as of
December 31, 2018
or
December 31, 2017
.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables from contracts with customers for the sale of ready-mixed concrete, aggregates and other products. Accounts receivable initially are recorded at the transaction amount. Each reporting period, we evaluate the collectability of the receivables and record an allowance for doubtful accounts and customer disputes for our estimated probable losses on balances that may not be collected in full, which reduces the accounts receivable balance. Additions to the allowance result from a provision for bad debt expense that is recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses. A provision for customer disputes recorded as a reduction to revenue also increases the allowance. Accounts receivable are written off when we determine the receivable will not be collected and are reflected as a reduction to the allowance. We determine the amount of bad debt expense and customer dispute losses each reporting period and the resulting adequacy of the allowance at the end of each reporting period by using a combination of historical loss experience, customer-by-customer analysis and subjective assessments of our loss exposure.
U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of cement and other raw materials, aggregates at our pits and quarries and building materials that we hold for sale or use in the ordinary course of business. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Cost in all periods presented was determined using the average cost and first-in, first-out ("FIFO") methods. We reduce the carrying value of our inventories for estimated excess and obsolete inventories equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value based upon assumptions about future product demand and market conditions. The value is not increased with any changes in circumstances that would indicate an increase after the remeasurement. If actual product demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, inventory write-downs may be required.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
We state property, plant and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize leasehold improvements on properties held under operating leases and amortize those costs over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the applicable lease term. We record amortization of assets recorded under capital leases as depreciation expense. We compute depletion of mineral deposits as such deposits are extracted utilizing the unit-of-production method. We expense maintenance and repair costs when incurred and capitalize and depreciate expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of our existing assets. When we retire or dispose of property, plant or equipment, we remove the related cost and accumulated depreciation from our accounts and reflect any resulting gain or loss in our consolidated statements of operations.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Such evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of future prices for our products, capital needs, economic trends in the applicable construction sector and other factors. If we consider such assets to be impaired, the impairment we recognize is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reflected at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value, less cost to sell. We test for impairment using a multi-tiered approach that incorporates an equal weighting to a multiple of earnings and to undiscounted estimated future cash flows. In 2017, we recorded a
$0.5 million
non-cash impairment of assets related to property, plant and equipment destroyed by hurricanes at our U.S. Virgin Islands ("USVI") operations. In 2018, we recorded a
$1.3 million
non-cash impairment of assets related to property, plant and equipment for properties in New Jersey and Michigan which were sold in 2018.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration given over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. The acquisition of assets and liabilities and any resulting goodwill is allocated to the respective reporting unit. We do not amortize goodwill but instead evaluate it for impairment within the reporting unit on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that assets might be impaired. The annual test for impairment is performed in the fourth quarter of each year, because this period gives us the best visibility of the reporting units’ operating performance for the current year (seasonally, April through October are our highest revenue and production months) and our outlook for the upcoming year, because much of our customer base is finalizing operating and capital budgets during the fourth quarter. The impairment test we use involves estimating the fair value of our reporting units and comparing the result to the reporting unit's carrying value. We generally estimate fair value using an equally weighted combination of discounted cash flows and multiples of invested capital to EBITDA. The discounted cash flow model includes forecasts for revenue and cash flows discounted at our weighted average cost of capital. Multiples of invested capital to EBITDA are calculated using a weighted average of two selected 12 month periods results by reporting unit compared to the enterprise value of the Company, which is determined based on the combination of the market value of our capital stock and total outstanding debt. If, however, the fair value is less than the carrying value, goodwill impairment is determined to be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria resulted in extensive damage, flooding and power outages throughout the USVI, impacting our facilities and operations. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2017, based on the uncertainty of the timing of the business recovery and its impact on our projected cash flows, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of
$5.8 million
, representing a full impairment of the goodwill related to our USVI operations.
Intangible Assets
Our definite-lived intangible assets consist of identifiable trade names, customer relationships, non-compete agreements, leasehold interests, favorable contracts and emissions credits that were acquired through business or asset purchases. We amortize these intangible assets over their estimated useful lives, which range from
3
to
25
years, using a straight-line approach. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of a land right acquired in a 2014 acquisition that will be reclassified to property, plant and equipment upon the completion of certain settlement activities. For the land right, we performed a qualitative assessment under the accounting rules for intangible assets, to determine that this indefinite-lived intangible asset was not impaired as of December 31, 2018. See
Note 6
for further discussion of our intangible assets.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs are amortized as interest expense over the scheduled maturity period of the debt. The costs related to our line-of-credit arrangement are amortized over the term of the arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings.
Revenue
As of the beginning of 2018, we adopted the new revenue recognition accounting guidance by applying the modified retrospective transition approach to all contracts. 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. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the amount or timing of revenue recognized.
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 19
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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of product costs and operating expenses, excluding depreciation, depletion and amortization, which is reported separately. Operating expenses consist primarily of wages, benefits, insurance and other expenses attributable to plant operations, repairs and maintenance and delivery costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling expenses consist primarily of sales commissions, salaries of sales managers, travel and entertainment expenses and trade show expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of executive and administrative compensation and benefits, office rent, utilities, communication and technology expenses, provision for doubtful accounts and legal and professional fees.
Deferred Rent
We recognize escalating lease payments on a straight-line basis over the term of each respective lease, with the difference between cash rent payments and recognized rent expense being recorded as deferred rent in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under which we record deferred income taxes based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and use enacted tax rates and laws that we expect will be in effect when the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
The Tax Act (as defined in
Note 14
) requires a U.S. shareholder of a foreign corporation to include in taxable income its global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”). In general, GILTI is described as the excess of a U.S. shareholder’s total net foreign income over a deemed return on tangible assets. As ASC 740 is unclear as to the treatment of GILTI, an entity may either include the additional taxes on GILTI in income tax expense in the year incurred or recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years. For 2018, we have included the additional taxes on GILTI in income tax expense.
Contingent Consideration
We record an estimate of the fair value of contingent consideration within accrued liabilities and other long-term obligations on our consolidated balance sheets. On a quarterly basis, we revalue the liability and record increases or decreases in the fair value as change in value of contingent consideration on our consolidated statement of operations. Changes to the contingent consideration liability can result from adjustments to the discount rate, accretion of interest expense due to the passage of time or changes in the assumptions regarding probabilities of successful achievement of related milestones and the estimated timing in which the milestones are expected to be achieved. For further information, see
Note 12
regarding our fair value disclosures.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, long-term debt (including current maturities) and other long-term obligations. We consider the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables to be representative of their respective fair value because of their short-term maturities or expected settlement dates. The fair value of our 2024 Notes (as defined in
Note 8
), estimated based on broker / dealer quoted market prices, was
$552.0 million
as of
December 31, 2018
and
$645.0 million
as of
December 31, 2017
. The carrying value of outstanding amounts under our
asset-based revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility")
approximates fair value. The fair value of our contingent consideration obligations associated with acquisitions was
$60.7 million
at
December 31, 2018
and
$61.8 million
at December 31,
2017
. For further information, see
Note 9
regarding our other long-term obligations and
Note 12
regarding our fair value disclosures.

Stripping Costs
We include post-production stripping costs in the cost of inventory produced during the period these costs are incurred. Post-production stripping costs represent stripping costs incurred after the first salable minerals are extracted from the mine.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period after giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. See
Note 15
for additional information regarding our earnings (loss) per share.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income (loss) represents all changes in equity of an entity during the reporting period, except those resulting from investments by, and distributions to, shareholders. For 2018, 2017, and 2016, no differences existed between our consolidated net income and our consolidated comprehensive income.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based employee compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. We recognize expense on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award, or in the case of performance-based awards, over the derived service period. We recognize forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur. We recognize all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, rather than recognized as additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the balance sheet. In addition, excess tax benefits are classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. See
Note 13
for additional information regarding our stock-based compensation plans.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Lease Accounting.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 are 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 beginning the first quarter of 2019, using the transition approach that permits application of the new standard at the adoption date instead of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Upon adoption, we expect to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability of approximately
$75.0 million
to
$85.0 million
as of January 1, 2019. We are implementing processes and information technology tools to assist in our ongoing lease data collection and analysis and updating our accounting policies and internal controls that will be impacted by the new guidance.
Fair Value Measurement Disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued a new Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") to eliminate or modify certain of the disclosures related to fair value measurement while adding new disclosures. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted, including in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Early adoption is permitted for the eliminated or modified disclosure requirements and the adoption of all the new disclosure requirements may be delayed until their effective date. The ASU requires prospective application to the new requirements and any modification to disclosures made because of the change to the requirements for the narrative description of measurement of uncertainty. The effects of all other amendments must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. We are still evaluating this ASU, but since it is focused on disclosures, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.
In August 2018, the FASB issued a new ASU to address the accounting for costs of implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments in this ASU align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with those for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by this ASU. Under this ASU, costs for implementation activities in the application development stage are capitalized depending on the nature of the costs, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages are expensed as the activities are performed. The ASU also requires that the capitalized implementation costs be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement, while subjecting the capitalized costs to the guidance for impairment of long-lived assets. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The ASU may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating this ASU, but we do not expect that its adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
2018 Acquisitions
We completed
five
acquisitions during
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
$70.8 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, and Texas Sand & Gravel Co., Inc. (collectively "

|
•
|
Two
individually immaterial ready-mixed concrete operations in our Atlantic Region and West Texas Region on
March 5, 2018
and
September 14, 2018
, respectively.
|
The aggregate fair value consideration for these
five
acquisitions included
$69.9 million
in cash and fair value contingent consideration of
$1.1 million
and was net of a working capital receivable of
$0.2 million
. We funded the cash portion of the 2018 acquisitions through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our Revolving Facility. The combined assets acquired through these 2018 acquisitions included
149
mixer trucks,
20
concrete plant facilities and
two
aggregate facilities. In 2018, we incurred approximately
$0.7 million
of transaction costs to effect these acquisitions. We include these transaction costs 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, adjustments related to determination of the conclusion of tax attributes as of the acquisition date, total consideration and goodwill.

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

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
Goodwill
We completed our annual assessment of goodwill impairment during the fourth quarter of
2018
for those reporting units with goodwill as of
October 1, 2018
, and there was
no
impairment. The results of the first step of the annual impairment tests indicated that the fair value of our operating reporting units with goodwill exceeded their carrying values. Our fair value estimates were determined using estimates and assumptions that we believed were reasonable at the time, including assumptions regarding future operating results for businesses that we have recently acquired. Such estimates and assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainty. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. Changes in the assumptions or estimates used in the impairment test with respect to a reporting unit or its prospects, which may result from a change in market conditions, market trends, interest rates or other factors outside of our control, or significant under performance relative to historical or projected future operating results, could significantly impact the calculated fair value of the reporting units, which could result in an impairment charge in the future.
The accumulated impairment was as follows (in millions):

$0.5 million
adjustment related to determination of the conclusion of tax attributes as of the acquisition date for a 2016 acquisition.

Adjustments for the 2017 acquisitions recorded during 2018 included
$21.0 million
of additional long-term obligations, of which
$18.6 million
related to deferred taxes attributable to fair value adjustments of Polaris's fixed assets as of the acquisition date;
$2.8 million
of assumed liabilities;
$0.4 million
of lower working capital;
$2.7 million
of additional property, plant, and equipment;
$0.3 million
of additional definite-lived intangible assets; 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 nonreportable 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 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, which is payable 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 Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:
|
|
•
|
incur additional debt or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock;
|
|
|
•
|
pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase or redeem our stock or subordinated indebtedness or make certain investments;
|
|
|
•
|
sell assets and issue capital stock of our restricted subsidiaries;
|
|
|
•
|
allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us;
|
|
|
•
|
enter into transactions with affiliates;
|
|
|
•
|
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets; and
|
|
|
•
|
designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.
|
U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
The 2024 Notes are issued by U.S. Concrete, Inc. (the "Parent"). Our obligations under the 2024 Notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured 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).
U.S. Concrete, Inc. does not have any independent assets or operations, and none of its foreign subsidiaries guarantee the 2024 Notes. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Company or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. For additional information regarding our guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries, see the information set forth in
Note 22
.
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.
Asset Based Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a senior secured asset-based credit facility that provides for up to
$350.0 million
of revolving borrowings and up to
$50.0 million
for the issuance of letters of credit, with
$17.5 million
of undrawn standby letters of credit as of
December 31, 2018
. However, any such issuance of letters of credit will reduce the amount available for borrowings under the Revolving Facility. In 2017, we amended the Revolving Facility to among other things, extending the maturity date to August 31, 2022. The Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement ("Third Loan Agreement") is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the personal property of the Company and our guarantors, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions. Our actual maximum credit availability varies from time to time and is determined by calculating the value of our eligible accounts receivable, inventory, mixer trucks and machinery, minus reserves and other adjustments, as specified in the Third Loan Agreement. Loans may not exceed the borrowing base as defined in the Third Loan Agreement. The Third Loan Agreement also contains a provision for over-advances and protective advances in each case, of up to
$25.0 million
in excess of the borrowing base levels and provides for swingline loans, up to a
$15.0 million
sublimit. Loans under the Revolving Facility are in the form of either base rate loans or “LIBOR loans” denominated in U.S. dollars.
The Third Loan Agreement requires that we, upon the occurrence of certain events, maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least
1.0
to 1.0 for each period of
12
calendar months. As of
December 31, 2018
, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Third Loan Agreement.
Capital Leases and Other Financing
We have a series of promissory notes with various lenders for the purchase of mixer trucks and other machinery and equipment in an aggregate principal amount of
$28.5 million
, with fixed annual interest rates ranging from
2.50%
to
4.49%
, payable monthly for terms ranging from less than
two
to
five
years.
We have leasing agreements with various other lenders for the purchase of mixer trucks and other machinery and equipment for a total remaining principal amount of
$71.2 million
as of December 31, 2018, with fixed annual interest rates ranging from less than
2.60%
to
4.86%
, payable monthly for terms ranging from less than
two
to
seven
years. The lease terms include one dollar buyout options at the end of the lease terms. Accordingly, these financings have been classified as capital leases. The current portion of capital leases included in current maturities of long-term debt was
$20.2 million
and
$15.1 million
as of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, respectively.
The weighted average interest rate of our capital leases and other financings was
3.72%
as of
December 31, 2018
and
3.31%
as of
December 31, 2017
.

In May 2014, our Board authorized a program to repurchase up to
$50.0 million
of our outstanding common stock (the "Share Repurchase Program") until the earlier of March 31, 2017, or a determination by the Board to discontinue the repurchase program. We made
no
repurchases of our common stock under the Share Repurchase Program that expired on March 31, 2017.
In March 2017, our Board authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to
$50.0 million
of our outstanding common stock (the "Second Share Repurchase Program"), effective April 1, 2017 until the earlier of March 31, 2020, or a determination by the Board to discontinue the Second Share Repurchase Program. During 2018 under the Second Share Repurchase Program, we repurchased
0.2 million
shares of our common stock at a cost of
$6.7 million
.
Treasury Stock
Employees may elect to satisfy their tax obligations on the vesting of their equity awards by having the required tax payments withheld based on a number of vested shares having an aggregate value on the date of vesting equal to the tax obligation. As a result of such employee elections, we withheld approximately
29,000
shares during
2018
, at a total value of approximately
$1.9 million
, and approximately
45,000
shares during
2017
, at a total value of approximately
$3.1 million
. We accounted for the withholding of these shares as treasury stock.

NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
Through its ownership of Polaris, the Company holds a
70%
interest in Eagle Rock Materials Ltd. ("Eagle Rock") and an
88%
interest in the Orca Sand and Gravel Limited Partnership (“Orca”). Eagle Rock was originally formed to develop the Eagle Rock quarry project in British Columbia, Canada. Orca was formed to develop the Orca quarry, also in British Columbia, Canada, with the remaining
12%
minority interest held by the Namgis First Nation (“Namgis”). Non-controlling interest consists of the Namgis’s share of the fair value equity in the partnership offset by the capital contributions loaned to the Namgis by Polaris.
To enable the Namgis to make their required equity contributions to Orca once a construction decision was made, Polaris loaned the Namgis
$8.0 million
(Canadian dollars) in prior years. Polaris’s sole recourse for repayment is against distributions payable to the Namgis by the partnership, after repayment of any approved third party who has loaned the Namgis funds for equity contributions. Reflective of the equity nature of the funding, the balance of the loans offset the non-controlling interest’s share of equity. No interest accrues on the loans until a specified time after a set volume is met, at which time the loans will accrue interest at an annual rate of
6%
. Following Orca's achievement of certain financial metrics, the Namgis may elect that up to one-half of the amount to which they are entitled under the partnership agreement be paid in cash.

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 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.

The current portion of contingent consideration is included in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The long-term portion of contingent consideration is included in other long-term obligations and deferred credits in our consolidated balance sheets.
|
The following tables present the valuation inputs 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.

In connection with our acquisitions described in
Note 2
, the assets acquired were recorded at their fair value on a non-recurring basis as of their respective acquisition dates. We generally use a third party valuation firm to assist us with developing our estimates of fair value. The fair value of property, plant and equipment was based primarily on comparable sales. In determining the fair value of intangible assets, we utilized the cost approach (primarily through the cost-to-recreate method), the market approach and the income approach. The income approach may incorporate the use of a discounted cash flow method. In applying the discounted cash flow method, the estimated future cash flows and residual values for each intangible asset are discounted to a present value using a discount rate based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital for the building materials industry. These cash flow projections were based on management’s estimates of economic and market conditions including revenue growth rates, operating margins, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The valuations were prepared using Level 3 inputs.
13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We grant stock-based compensation awards to management, employees and non-employee directors under the U.S. Concrete, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTI Plan"). As of
December 31, 2018
, there were less than
0.1 million
shares remaining for future issuance under the LTI Plan. Stock-based compensation may include stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, cash-settled equity awards and performance awards.
Stock-Based Compensation Cost
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award or, for performance-based awards, over the derived service period.
We recognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock and restricted stock units of
$10.4 million
in
2018
,
$8.3 million
in
2017
and
$7.1 million
in
2016
, with related recognized tax benefits of
$2.4 million
in
2018
,
$3.2 million
in
2017
and
$2.5 million
in
2016
. Recognized tax benefits for stock-based compensation expense are inclusive of excess tax benefits recognized in income tax expense of
$0.2 million
in 2018 and
$1.4 million
in 2017. Stock-based compensation expense is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.
As of
December 31, 2018
, we had approximately
$9.3 million
of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately
1.2 years
.
Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock units generally vest over a
one
to
three
year period on a quarterly basis. Restricted stock units are subject to restrictions on transfer and certain conditions to vesting. These restricted stock units are not considered outstanding shares of our common stock.

Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards are subject to restrictions on transfer and certain conditions to vesting. The restricted stock awards issued to date consisted of a
60%
time-vested component and a
40%
stock performance hurdle component. The time-vested component vests annually over a
three
year period. The stock performance hurdle component triggers vesting upon our stock price reaching certain thresholds. During the restriction period, the holders of restricted stock are entitled to vote and receive dividends; however, such dividends would be forfeited in the event the stock does not vest. As a result, these awards are included in our outstanding shares of common stock.

At December 31, 2018, our state deferred tax asset of
$5.1 million
was classified as a non-current asset, and our U.S. and foreign deferred tax liability of
$43.1 million
was classified as a non-current liability. At December 31, 2017, all deferred taxes were recorded as a non-current liability.
|
In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, the following that impact us: (1) reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%; (2) extension and expansion of the bonus depreciation provisions; (3) creation of a new limitation on deductible interest expense; (4) enactment of a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) on foreign subsidiaries; (5) repeal of the domestic production activities deduction; (6) further limitation of the deductibility of certain executive compensation; and (7) limitation of certain other deductions.
In 2017, the Company recorded provisional income tax benefits of
$7.6 million
related to the impact of the Tax Act on our deferred tax balances for the change in tax rate and executive compensation payable in future years. As allowed by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, "Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act," which was issued shortly after the Tax Act was enacted, we completed our accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act in 2018 and recognized a
$2.1 million
reduction to the provisional tax amounts recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017.
U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the recognized value of deferred tax assets must be reduced to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized in future periods. The ultimate realization of the benefit of deferred tax assets from deductible temporary differences or tax carryovers depends on the generation of sufficient taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on these considerations, we had valuation allowances as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 in the amounts of
$9.2 million
and
$20.7 million
, respectively, for certain deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty regarding their ultimate realization. In 2018, we established an additional valuation allowance of
$6.6 million
related to the interest expense limitation carryfoward attribute, resulting from the Tax Act, which we do not believe is more likely than not to be realized under the current interpretation of the applicable statute. Certain acquisition-related valuation allowances were released during the purchase accounting measurement period once it was determined that certain tax attributes were extinguished at the time of acquisition. Additionally, the valuation allowance of
$2.6 million
related to our New Jersey state net operating losses ("NOLs") was released due to recent state law changes that will allow us to utilize those attributes before they expire.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had NOL carryforwards related to tax losses in Canada and the U.S. that may be used to reduce future taxable income. The Canadian NOL carryforwards were approximately
$5.0 million
as of December 31, 2018, and expire at various dates from 2032 to 2038. The U.S federal NOL carryforwards were approximately
$11.7 million
as of December 31, 2018, and expire at various dates from 2025 to 2037. The deferred tax assets associated with state NOL carryforwards were approximately
$4.6 million
as of December 31, 2018, and the underlying state NOL carryforwards expire at various dates from 2019 to 2037. We maintain a valuation allowance of
$2.6 million
for certain NOL carryforwards because of the uncertainty of their recovery.
Under U.S. tax law, we treat our Canadian and U.S. Virgin Island subsidiaries (collectively, “foreign subsidiaries”) as controlled foreign corporations. We consider the undistributed earnings, if any, and other outside basis differences in our investments in our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no foreign withholding or other income taxes have been provided thereon. Due to the complexities in the tax laws, it is not practicable to estimate the amount of deferred income taxes not recorded that are associated with those earnings or other outside basis differences. We have not, nor do we currently anticipate in the foreseeable future, the need to repatriate funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business, including liquidity needs associated with our domestic debt service requirements.
At December 31, 2018, we had unrecognized tax benefits of
$5.7 million
, including accrued penalties and interest, of which,
$4.0 million
would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The unrecognized tax benefits were included as a component of other long-term obligations. We recorded interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, which were included in income tax expense in our consolidated statements of operations of
$0.2 million
in 2018,
$0.4 million
in 2017 and
$0.1 million
in 2016. Total accrued penalties and interest at December 31, 2018 and 2017 were approximately
$1.1 million
and
$0.9 million
, respectively, which were included in the related tax liability in our consolidated balance sheets. We do not anticipate that our unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

We recorded unrecognized tax benefits in 2017 and 2016 of
$0.4 million
and
$7.5 million
, respectively, related to our Warrants that expired in August 2017, due to uncertainty about their deductibility for federal and state income tax purposes. Approximately
$39.8 million
of our unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2016 related to the Warrants. These amounts were subsequently released in 2017 upon expiration of the Warrants, the tax effect of which was generally offset by the write-off of the related deferred tax asset.

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

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 other contributing employers in the plans has an effect on each of the other 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.
U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
As of
February 26, 2019
, 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 unasserted product defect claims related to ready-mixed concrete we have delivered prior to
December 31, 2018
.
We believe that the resolution of any 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 does not believe that these claims will materially exceed our related accruals. 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
December 31, 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. As of February 26, 2019, there were no material pending claims related to such indemnification.
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. The total royalties and interest claimed to date are approximately CAD
$3.8 million
(
$2.9 million
). Although the Company has recorded a provision for a portion of the assessment, it continues to dispute and negotiate certain aspects of the claim, including interest charges and the timing of payment.

Eminent Domain Matter
In 2018, we incurred
$0.7 million
of expenses to dismantle and move a ready-mixed concrete plant and office to another location, because the District of Columbia exercised its power of eminent domain over the former site. We incurred certain additional expenditures that were capitalized for the new facilities. We have filed reimbursement claims for all of our costs, but have not recognized a receivable for such reimbursement pending approval by a third party right-of-way agent and the District of Columbia Department of Transportation.
Lease Payments
We lease certain mobile and other equipment, land, facilities, office space and other items which, in the normal course of business, are renewed or replaced by subsequent leases. Total consolidated expense for such operating leases amounted to
$23.4 million
in
2018
,
$20.7 million
in
2017
and
$18.5 million
in
2016
.
Future minimum rental payments with respect to our operating lease obligations as of

Our annual lease expense differs from our future minimum rental payments as a result of month to month equipment leases to support our operations and the impact of deferred rent.
Insurance Programs
We maintain third-party insurance coverage against certain workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability risks. Under certain components of our insurance program, we share the risk of loss with our insurance underwriters by maintaining high deductibles subject to aggregate annual loss limitations. Generally, our deductible retentions per occurrence for auto, workers’ compensation and general liability insurance programs are
$1.0 million
, although certain of our operations are self-insured for workers’ compensation. We fund these deductibles and record an expense for expected losses under the programs. The expected losses are determined 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 that the estimated losses we have recorded are reasonable, significant differences related to the items noted above could materially affect our insurance obligations and future expense. The amount accrued for self-insurance claims, which was recorded in accrued liabilities and other long-term obligations, was
$20.4 million
as of
December 31, 2018
and
$19.2 million
as of
December 31, 2017
.
Performance Bonds
In the normal course of business, we and our subsidiaries were contingently liable under
$36.6 million
in performance bonds that various contractors, states and municipalities have required as of
December 31, 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.

of their annual compensation or the maximum amount Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regulations permit. We match
100%
of the first
5%
of pay contributed by the employee. Matching contributions vest immediately. The match was
$5.9 million
in 2018,
$4.8 million
in
2017
and
$4.2 million
in
2016
, and was predominantly included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
We also maintain a non-qualified contribution retirement plan ("Non-Qualified Savings Plan") covering highly compensated employees, as defined in the plan. This plan allows eligible employees to defer receipt of up to
75%
of their base compensation and
75%
of their annual bonus. We do not match contributions to this plan.
Contributions under both plans may be invested in various investment funds at the employee's discretion. Such contributions, including the Company's matching contributions described above, may not be invested in the Company's common stock.
At inception of the Non-Qualified Savings Plan, the Company established a rabbi trust to fund the plan's obligations. The market value of the trust assets for the Non-Qualified Savings Plan was
$2.6 million
as of
December 31, 2018
and
$2.5 million
as of
December 31, 2017
and was included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The related liability to the participants is included in other long-term obligations in the consolidated balance sheet.
Multi-Employer Pension Plans
Several of our subsidiaries are parties to various collective bargaining agreements with labor unions having multi-year terms that expire on a staggered basis. As of
December 31, 2018
,
1,141
of our employees, or
34.6%
of our workforce, were represented by labor unions having collective bargaining agreements with us. As of
December 31, 2018
,
152
of our employees, or
4.6%
of our workforce, were represented by labor unions having collective bargaining agreements that will expire within one year.
Under these agreements, our applicable subsidiaries pay specified wages to covered employees, observe designated workplace rules and make payments to multi-employer pension plans and employee benefit trusts rather than administering the funds on behalf of these employees. The risks of participating in these multi-employer pension plans are different from single-employer plans. Assets contributed to the multi-employer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers. If we choose to stop participating in some of these multi-employer plans, we may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability. We were not required to record a liability in
2018
or
2017
for full or partial withdrawals from any multi-employer pension plans. For additional information regarding our potential future obligations, see
Note 16
.
The required disclosures and our participation in significant multi-employer pension plans are presented in the table below. The EIN / Pension Plan Number column provides the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) and the three-digit plan number, if applicable. The Pension Protection Act zone status is based on information available from the plan or the plan’s public filings. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans in the orange or yellow zones are less than 80% funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The FIP / RP Status Pending / Implemented column indicates plans for which a financial improvement plan (“FIP”) or a rehabilitation plan (“RP”) is either pending or has been implemented. The final column lists the expiration date(s) of the collective-bargaining agreements to which the plans are subject.

Contributions generally increased from 2016 to 2018 as a result of acquisitions. At the date that these consolidated financial statements were issued, Forms 5500 were generally not available for the
2018
plan year. Based on the most recent Forms 5500 available for each multi-employer pension plan, our 2017 and 2016 contributions for the Local 282 Pension Trust Fund and Trucking Employees of North Jersey Pension Fund represented more than
5%
of total contributions.

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.
During the third quarter of 2018, we recorded a
$14.6 million
pre-tax gain from the divestitures of our Dallas/Fort Worth area lime operations and an aggregates property in Michigan.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, we
recognized a
$5.8 million
non-cash impairment expense of goodwill
associated with our USVI operations. The fourth quarter of 2017 also included a
$5.0 million
expense for increased self-insurance reserves for certain workers’ compensation and automobile liability losses, which primarily resulted from adverse claim development during the year for certain unexpected large claims.

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 (until we divested it on September 5, 2018), ARIDUS
®
Rapid Drying Concrete technology, brokered product sales and a recycled aggregates operation.
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 our income from continuing operations, excluding the impact of income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and amortization, net interest expense and certain other non-cash, non-recurring and/or unusual, non-operating items including, but not limited to: non-cash stock compensation expense, non-cash change in value of contingent consideration, impairment of assets, acquisition-related costs, officer transition expenses, quarry dredge costs for specific event, hurricane-related losses, net of recoveries and derivative loss (income). Acquisition-related costs consist of fees and expenses for accountants, lawyers and other professionals incurred during the negotiation and closing of strategic acquisitions and certain acquired entities' management severance costs. Acquisition-related costs do not include fees or expenses associated with post-closing integration of strategic acquisitions. 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 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.

DERIVATIVES
On August 31, 2010, we issued warrants to acquire common stock in
two
tranches: Class A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately
1.5 million
shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$22.69
per share and Class B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately
1.5 million
shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$26.68
per share (collectively, the "Warrants"). Prior to their expiration on August 31, 2017 and in accordance with ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"), we were required to account for our Warrants as derivative instruments. The Warrants were not used to manage business risk and were not executed for speculative purposes. The Warrants were treated as potentially dilutive securities in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as shares of our common stock would have been issued if the Warrants had been exercised. A total of
112,638
Class A Warrants and
114,775
Class B Warrants expired unexercised on August 31, 2017.
The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments (in millions) on our consolidated statements of operations, excluding income tax effects:
