Vulcan reports increased revenue, earnings for 2025

Vulcan Materials Co. reported increased revenue, gross profit and net earnings for 2025.

The Bermingham, Alabama-based company reported 2025 revenue of $7.94 billion, up from 7.42 billion in 2024. Gross profit and net earnings came in at $2.16 billion and $1.08 billion, respectively, both increases from 2024.

For the quarter, sales increased to $1.91 billion compared to $1.85 billion during the same period in 2024. However, gross profit and net earnings both decreased to $487 million and $252 million, respectively, compared to $537 million and $294 million for the fourth quarter of 2024.

"Our aggregates-led business delivered another year of strong earnings growth and margin expansion,” Vulcan Materials CEO Ronnie Pruitt says. “Through a consistent focus on commercial and operational execution, we continue to deliver attractive organic growth and expand our industry-leading aggregates cash gross profit per ton, which increased to $11.33 per ton. The resulting strong cash generation, coupled with disciplined M&A and portfolio management, positions us well to continue compounding results and creating value for our shareholders in 2026 and beyond.”

Fourth quarter shipments for Vulcan’s aggregates business increased 2 percent and continue to benefit from healthy public construction activity.  The company says shipments in the prior year’s fourth quarter were aided by strong demand in western North Carolina and east Tennessee in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. 

For 2025, aggregates shipments increased 3 percent, with volume from operations acquired in late 2024 more than offsetting slightly lower year-over-year same-store shipments.

“As we look to 2026, I'm encouraged about the demand backdrop in our markets,” Pruitt says. “We expect continued strength in public construction activity and improving private nonresidential opportunities, a combination that should benefit an already healthy pricing environment.”
