Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

		The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the “Corporation”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The Corporation has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2011. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods. The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 are not indicative of the results expected for other interim periods or the full year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

		Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

		The numerator for basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is net earnings (loss) attributable to Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., reduced by dividends and undistributed earnings attributable to the Corporation’s unvested restricted stock awards and incentive stock awards. The denominator for basic earnings (loss) per common share is the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share are computed assuming that the weighted-average number of common shares is increased by the conversion, using the treasury stock method, of awards to be issued to employees and nonemployee members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors under certain stock-based compensation arrangements if the conversion is dilutive. The diluted per-share computations reflect a change in the number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

The base rate is defined as the highest of (i) JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A.’s prime lending rate, (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1%.

		The Revolving Facility expires on March 31, 2015, with any outstanding principal amounts, together with interest accrued thereon, due in full on that date. At March 31, 2011, the Corporation had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

		On March 31, 2011, the Corporation borrowed $250,000,000 under the Term Loan Facility, a portion of which was used to prepay the $111,750,000 Term Loan due 2012. The Corporation is required to make annual principal payments of $5,000,000, with the remaining outstanding principal, together with interest accrued thereon, due in full on March 31, 2015.

		On March 31, 2011, the Corporation entered into the Second Amendment to Account Purchase Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Second Amendment to Account Purchase Agreement”), which amended its $100,000,000 secured accounts receivable credit facility (the “AR Credit Facility”). As amended, purchases and settlements will be made monthly. Additionally, as amended, borrowings under the AR Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 1.35%. Borrowings under the AR Credit Facility are limited based on the balance of the Corporation’s accounts receivable. At March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the Corporation had no outstanding borrowings under the AR Credit Facility.

Long-Term Debt (continued)

		On April 1, 2011, the Corporation borrowed $100,000,000 under the AR Credit Facility, which in addition to proceeds from the Term Loan Facility, was used to repay $242,140,000 of 6.875% Notes that matured on that date. The Corporation classified its 6.875% Notes as long-term debt at March 31, 2011 as it had the ability and intent to refinance these Notes with borrowings that are due in excess of one year.

		The Credit Agreement and the AR Credit Facility, as amended, require the Corporation’s ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), as defined, for the trailing twelve month period (the “Ratio”) to not exceed 3.5x as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Corporation may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions for a period of 180 days so long as the Corporation maintains specified ratings on its long-term unsecured debt and the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 3.75x. Additionally, if no amounts are outstanding under both the Revolving Facility and the AR Credit Facility, consolidated debt, including debt guaranteed by the Corporation, may be reduced by the Corporation’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50,000,000, such reduction not to exceed $200,000,000, for purposes of the covenant calculation.

		The Corporation unwound two forward starting interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $150,000,000 (the “Swap Agreements”) in April 2008. The Corporation made a cash payment of $11,139,000, which represented the fair value of the Swap Agreements on the date of termination. The accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, at the date of termination is being recognized in earnings over the life of the 6.6% Senior Notes. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Corporation recognized $234,000 and $218,000, respectively, as additional interest expense. The ongoing amortization of the terminated value of the Swap Agreements will increase annual interest expense by approximately $1,000,000 until the maturity of the 6.6% Senior Notes in 2018. The accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the Swap Agreements was $5,203,000, net of cumulative noncurrent deferred tax assets of $3,404,000, at March 31, 2011; $5,344,000, net of cumulative noncurrent deferred tax assets of $3,497,000, at December 31, 2010; and $5,755,000, net of cumulative noncurrent deferred tax assets of $3,765,000, at March 31, 2010.

Financial Instruments

The Corporation’s financial instruments include temporary cash investments, accounts receivable, notes receivable, bank overdraft, publicly registered long-term notes, debentures and other long-term debt.

Financial Instruments (continued)

		Temporary cash investments are placed primarily in money market funds and Eurodollar time deposits with the following financial institutions: Bank of America, N.A., Branch Banking and Trust Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Regions Financial Corporation and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The Corporation’s cash equivalents have maturities of less than three months. Due to the short maturity of these investments, they are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at cost, which approximates fair value.

		Customer receivables are due from a large number of customers, primarily in the construction industry, and are dispersed across wide geographic and economic regions. However, customer receivables are more heavily concentrated in certain states (namely, Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Iowa and Louisiana which accounted for approximately 55% of the Aggregate business’ 2010 net sales). The estimated fair values of customer receivables approximate their carrying amounts.

		Notes receivable are primarily related to divestitures and are not publicly traded. However, using current market interest rates, but excluding adjustments for credit worthiness, if any, management estimates that the fair value of notes receivable approximates the carrying amount.

		The bank overdraft represents the float of outstanding checks. The estimated fair value of the bank overdraft approximates its carrying value.

		The estimated fair value of the Corporation’s publicly registered long-term notes and debentures at March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010 was $927,859,000, $933,637,000 and $1,158,501,000, respectively, compared with a carrying amount of $912,762,000, $912,692,000 and $1,130,056,000, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of this long-term debt was estimated based on quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of other borrowings was $255,857,000, $118,067,000 and $119,133,000 at March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2010, respectively, and approximates its carrying amount.

		The carrying values and fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments are as follows (dollars in thousands):


	March 31, 2011				December 31, 2010				March 31, 2010

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First Quarter Ended March 31, 2011

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

OVERVIEW Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the “Corporation”), conducts its operations through four reportable business segments: Mideast Group, Southeast Group, West Group (collectively, the “Aggregates business”) and Specialty Products. The Corporation’s annual net sales and earnings are predominately derived from its Aggregates business, which processes and sells granite, limestone, and other aggregates products from a network of 278 quarries, distribution facilities and plants to customers in 30 states, Canada, the Bahamas and the Caribbean Islands. The Aggregates business’ products are used primarily by commercial customers principally in domestic construction of highways and other infrastructure projects and for nonresidential and residential building development. Aggregates products are also used in the railroad, environmental, utility and agricultural industries. The Specialty Products segment produces magnesia-based chemicals products used in industrial, agricultural and environmental applications and dolomitic lime sold primarily to customers in the steel industry.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Corporation outlined its critical accounting policies in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2011. There were no changes to the Corporation’s critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Except as indicated, the following comparative analysis in the Results of Operations section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations reflects results from continuing operations and is based on net sales and cost of sales. The Corporation’s heritage aggregates product line excludes volume and pricing data for acquisitions that have not been included in prior-year operations for the comparable period and divestitures.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales and operating margin as a percentage of net sales represent non-GAAP measures. The Corporation presents these ratios calculated based on net sales, as it is consistent with the basis by which management reviews the Corporation’s operating results. Further, management believes it is consistent with the basis by which investors analyze the Corporation’s operating results given that freight and delivery revenues and costs represent pass-throughs and have no profit mark-up. Gross margin and operating margin calculated as percentages of total revenues represent the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The following tables present the calculations of gross margin and operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the ratios as percentages of total revenues to percentages of net sales (dollars in thousands):

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
First Quarter Ended March 31, 2011
(Continued)

The Corporation’s first-quarter financial results confirmed management’s expectations, reflecting a 240-basis-point improvement in consolidated operating margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) over the prior-year quarter. Furthermore, the Corporation’s Aggregates business achieved greater levels of stability during the quarter. In particular, aggregates product line pricing, supported partly by 2010 volume growth, increased for the first time in more than a year. Management believes this pattern of stability will continue and serve as a platform as the Corporation advances toward the next phase of the construction cycle — recovery and growth.

Since heavy-construction activity slows during the winter months, the Corporation’s first-quarter results seldom reflect annual performance. That said, milder winter in some of the Corporation’s markets early in the quarter led to monthly aggregates shipment growth over the prior-year periods. In contrast to 2010, weather patterns deteriorated in the critical last two weeks of March, slowing momentum gained early in the quarter. Management believes these weather-related delays in shipments were a primary factor leading to an overall quarterly decrease of 1% in the Corporation’s heritage aggregates volume. However, despite a volume decrease for the quarter and the negative impact of rising diesel prices, the Aggregates business achieved an incremental operating margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) in line with management’s expectations.

Infrastructure, as the Corporation’s largest end-use market, comprises approximately half of its quarterly aggregates shipments. Uncertainty stemming from the absence of a long-term federal highway bill has negatively affected the infrastructure construction market. For the quarter, infrastructure shipments declined 3% compared with the prior-year quarter.

The residential end-use market volume grew 15% compared with the prior-year quarter, reflecting increased multi-family construction activity. The Corporation’s ChemRock/Rail end-use market experienced a 2% volume increase compared with the prior-year quarter. The commercial component of the nonresidential end-use market, particularly in the Corporation’s San Antonio District, reflected increased shipments during the quarter. While management continues to expect strong volumes to the energy sector for the full year, shipments to this industry declined from the prior-year quarter which led to an overall 3% reduction in nonresidential shipments.

Compared with the prior-year quarter, changes in aggregates pricing varied by geographic region. In the first quarter of 2011, more of the Corporation’s markets reported pricing increases than in the past two years. For example, quarterly heritage aggregates pricing for the Southeast Group increased 5.8%, with positive pricing in the Florida market compensating for negative pricing in the Alabama market. Pricing in the West Group was negatively affected by product mix, particularly in the Southwest market. Other markets in the West Group, including North Texas and Iowa, had pricing increases.

The Aggregates business is significantly affected by seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions. Aggregates production and shipment levels coincide with general construction activity levels, most of which occurs in the spring, summer and fall. Thus, production and shipment levels vary by quarter. Operations concentrated in the northern United States generally experience more severe winter weather conditions than operations in the Southeast and Southwest. Excessive rainfall, and conversely excessive drought, can also jeopardize shipments, production and profitability. Because of the potentially significant impact of weather on the Corporation’s operations, first-quarter results are not indicative of expected performance for other interim periods or the full year.

The Specialty Products business benefitted from continued strong demand, primarily in the magnesia chemicals product line where volume records were achieved for several product lines. The Specialty Products business reported record quarterly net sales of $49.1 million, an 18% increase over the prior-year quarter. Record first-quarter earnings from operations of $15.1 million grew 35% compared with the prior-year quarter, reflecting increased product demand and continued focus on cost control efforts. Thus, while management expects strong performance from this business segment for the remainder of the year, prospective prior-year comparisons will be versus record 2010 quarterly performance.

The Corporation continued its commitment to cost control. Consolidated direct production costs increased 7%, primarily due to a 14% increase in noncontrollable energy costs. Higher energy prices also increased embedded freight costs for the quarter as transportation providers passed on their rising energy costs.

The Corporation’s gross margin (excluding freight and delivery revenues) for the three months ended March increased 30 basis points to 6.9% in 2011. The following presents a rollforward of the Corporation’s gross profit (dollars in thousands):

Selling, general and administrative expenses declined $4.3 million, or 190 basis points as a percentage of net sales, for the quarter compared with the 2010 first quarter, primarily due to lower personnel and pension costs.

Among other items, other operating income and expenses, net, includes gains and losses on the sale of assets; gains and losses related to customer accounts receivable; rental, royalty and services income; and the accretion and depreciation expenses related to asset retirement obligations. For the first quarter, consolidated other operating income and expenses, net, was income of $2.0 million in 2011 compared with income of $1.1 million in 2010. First quarter 2011 other operating income and expenses, net, includes a $2.4 million land condemnation gain for the Mideast Group.

Interest expense was $18.2 million for the first quarter 2011 as compared with $17.6 million for the prior-year quarter.

In addition to other offsetting amounts, other nonoperating income and expenses, net, are comprised generally of interest income and net equity earnings from nonconsolidated investments. Consolidated other nonoperating income and expenses, net, for the quarter ended March 31, was income of $0.3 million in 2011 compared with income of $0.6 million in 2010.

The overall effective tax rate for the quarter was 27% compared with 17% for the first quarter 2010. The 2010 effective tax rate includes the effect of a charge of approximately $2.8 million resulting from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Act”). Management expects the overall effective tax rate for the full year to be approximately 26%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $21.3 million compared with $27.1 million for the same period in 2010. Operating cash flow is primarily from consolidated net earnings or loss, before deducting depreciation, depletion and amortization, offset by working capital requirements. The reduction in net cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of 2011 as compared with the year-earlier period is primarily due to the timing of federal income tax refunds. Working capital management continues to be a priority and to that end, days sales outstanding was 45 days, essentially flat with 2010, and the change in net working capital improved nearly $9 million in the first quarter as compared with 2010.

The seasonal nature of the construction aggregates business impacts quarterly operating cash flow when compared with the year. Full year 2010 net cash provided by operating activities was $269.8 million, compared with $27.1 million for the first three months of 2010.

Capital expenditures, exclusive of acquisitions, for the first three months were $30.7 million in 2011 and $25.0 million in 2010. In May 2011, the Corporation will begin the construction of a $53 million dolomitic lime kiln at its Specialty Products location in Woodville, Ohio. This project is expected to be completed by the end of 2012. Full-year capital spending for 2011 is expected to be approximately $175 million, including the Hunt Martin Materials joint venture but exclusive of acquisitions. Comparable full-year capital expenditures were $135.9 million in 2010.

On March 31, 2011, the Corporation entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Branch Banking and Trust Company, SunTrust Bank, and Bank of America, N.A., as Co-Syndication Agents, and the lenders party thereto (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $250 million senior unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $350 million four-year senior unsecured revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”, and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities”). On March 31, 2011, the Corporation borrowed $250 million under the Term Loan Facility, a portion of which was used to prepay outstanding borrowings of $111.8 million on the Term Loan due 2012.

Additionally, on March 31, 2011, the Corporation entered into the Second Amendment to Account Purchase Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Second Amendment to Account Purchase Agreement”), which amended its $100 million secured accounts receivable credit facility (the “AR Credit Facility”). As amended, purchases and settlements will be made monthly. Additionally, as amended, borrowings under the AR Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 1.35%. Borrowings under the AR Credit Facility are limited based on the balance of the Corporation’s accounts receivable. At March 31, 2011, the Corporation had no outstanding borrowings under the AR Credit Facility.

On April 1, 2011, the Corporation borrowed $100 million under the AR Credit Facility, which, in addition to proceeds from the Term Loan Facility, was used to repay $242.1 million of 6.875% Notes that matured on that date. Subsequent to this net repayment, the Corporation’s total debt outstanding at April 1, 2011 consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

Total debt	$	1,026,479

The Corporation can repurchase its common stock through open-market purchases pursuant to authority granted by its Board of Directors. The Corporation did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Management currently has no intent to repurchase any shares of its common stock. At March 31, 2011, 5,042,000 shares of common stock were remaining under the Corporation’s repurchase authorization.

The Credit Agreement and the AR Credit Facility, as amended, require the Corporation’s ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), as defined, for the trailing twelve month period (the “Ratio”) to not exceed 3.5x as of the end of any fiscal quarter, provided that the Corporation may exclude from the Ratio debt incurred in connection with certain acquisitions for a period of 180 days so long as the Corporation maintains specified ratings on its long-term unsecured debt and the Ratio calculated without such exclusion does not exceed 3.75x. Additionally, if there are no amounts outstanding under both the Revolving Facility and the AR Credit Facility, consolidated debt, including debt guaranteed by the Corporation, will be reduced for purposes of the covenant calculation by the Corporation’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50 million, such reduction not to exceed $200 million (hereinafter, “net debt”).

The Ratio is calculated as net debt, including debt guaranteed by the Corporation, divided by consolidated EBITDA, as defined, for the trailing twelve months. Consolidated EBITDA is generally defined as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for continuing operations. Additionally, stock-based compensation expense is added back and interest income is deducted in the calculation of consolidated EBITDA. Certain other nonrecurring items and noncash items, if they occur, can affect the calculation of consolidated EBITDA.

In the event of a default on the leverage ratio, the lenders can terminate the Credit Agreement and AR Credit Facility and declare any outstanding balances as immediately due.

Cash on hand, along with the Corporation’s projected internal cash flows and availability of financing resources, including its access to debt and equity capital markets, are expected to continue to be sufficient to provide the capital resources necessary to support anticipated operating needs, cover debt service requirements, meet capital expenditures and discretionary investment needs, fund certain acquisition opportunities that may arise, and allow for payment of dividends for the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2011, the Corporation had $348 million of unused borrowing capacity under its Revolving Facility and $100 million of available borrowings on its AR Credit Facility, subject to complying with the Ratio. The Credit Agreement expires on March 31, 2015 and the AR Credit Facility terminates on April 20, 2012.

The Corporation may be required to obtain financing in order to fund certain strategic acquisitions, if any such opportunities arise, or to refinance outstanding debt. Any strategic acquisition of size would require an appropriate balance of newly-issued equity with debt in order to maintain an investment-grade credit rating. Borrowings under the AR Credit Facility would be limited based on the balance of the Corporation’s accounts receivable. Furthermore, the Corporation is exposed to the credit markets, through the interest cost related to its variable rate debt, which includes borrowings under its Revolving Facility, Term Loan Facility and AR Credit Facility, and the interest cost related to its commercial paper program, to the extent that it is available to the Corporation. The Corporation’s credit ratings are investment-grade-level and, on April 28, 2011, Standard & Poor’s reaffirmed its BBB+ corporate credit rating and revised its outlook on the Corporation’s long-term rating to stable. While management believes its credit ratings will remain at an investment-grade level, no assurance can be given that these ratings will remain at those levels.

Contractual Obligations

At March 31, 2011, the Corporation’s contractual obligations, including interest, related to its Term Loan Facility were as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Total		< 1 yr		1-3 yrs.		3-5 yrs.
Long-term debt	$	250,000	$	5,000	$	10,000	$	235,000

Management currently intends to maintain $100 million of outstanding borrowings on its AR Credit Facility until its expiration on April 30, 2012.

TRENDS AND RISKS The Corporation outlined the risks associated with its business in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2011. Management continues to evaluate its exposure to all operating risks on an ongoing basis.

OUTLOOK A variety of factors make it difficult to form a complete perspective for 2011. A noteworthy consideration will be the rate at which states spend available Stimulus funds for infrastructure projects. The Corporation is operating under a Congressional continuing resolution that extends the Safe, Accountable, Flexible and Efficient Transportation Equity Act — A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) through September 30, 2011. Although there is bipartisan Congressional agreement that infrastructure is a key and essential governmental priority, there is heightened sensitivity with respect to all government spending due to the national deficit. Without interim clarity, a definitive outlook is uncertain. Management believes there are several options for federal infrastructure funding, including: additional continuing resolutions that maintain current funding through the next presidential election, or a new federal highway bill (with flat or reduced funding and which may be shorter than the typical six-year term). While operating under a continuing resolution is more likely for 2011, management believes that Congress understands that fully-funded, reauthorized infrastructure legislation at the federal level serves as an efficient means of jobs creation and investment in America’s economic growth.

Given this uncertainty, the Corporation’s 2011 outlook assumes there will be additional continuing resolutions that maintain current federal funding levels. Management also expects that state spending on infrastructure should remain relatively constant and 30% of ARRA infrastructure funds will be spent this year. Management expects the infrastructure end-use market to be flat to slightly down; management also anticipates a modest volume recovery in the commercial component of the Corporation’s nonresidential end-use market. Considering the notable aggregates shipments to the energy sector in 2010, management expects the rate of growth in the heavy industrial component of the Corporation’s nonresidential end-use market to moderate in 2011. Natural gas prices and the timing of lease commitments for oil and natural gas companies will be significant factors for energy-sector activity. Additionally, given current oil prices, there is a possibility of increased wind farm construction activity. Overall, management expects nonresidential end-use shipments in 2011 to increase in the mid-single digit range. The Corporation has noticed early signs of potential recovery in the multi-family component of the residential construction market and expects the rate of improvement in this end-use market to increase over 2010. Finally, the Corporation’s ChemRock/Rail shipments should be stable compared with 2010 shipments. Cumulatively, management expects flat to a 3% improvement in overall aggregates volume in 2011.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Continued)

Stability in the Corporation’s aggregates shipments will likely lead to sustainable price increases. However, such increases may not be uniform throughout the Corporation’s enterprise. Overall, management expects full-year 2011 aggregates pricing will range from flat to a 2% increase. Additionally, rising energy costs may provide an impetus for certain mid-year price increases.

Aggregates production cost per ton in 2011 is expected to range from flat to a slight decrease compared with 2010, despite rising energy costs. The Specialty Products segment should contribute $50 million to $52 million in pretax earnings for 2011, as economic recovery drives industrial demand for magnesia-based chemicals products and continued demand for environmental applications is driven by the United States’ focus on green technology and innovation.

Selling, general and administrative expenses should be lower in 2011, primarily due to lower pension expense. Interest expense should be approximately $60 million in 2011, or $8 million less than 2010, resulting from the refinancing of $242 million of 6.875% Senior Notes with variable-rate borrowings under the Corporation’s outstanding credit facilities. The Corporation’s effective tax rate is expected to be 26%. Capital expenditures are forecast at $175 million for 2011, including the first $25 million of the $50 million project in Specialty Products and nearly $50 million for selective high-quality growth projects.

The 2011 estimated outlook includes management’s assessment of the likelihood of certain risk factors that will affect performance. The most significant risk to 2011 performance will be, as previously noted, the United States economy and its impact on construction activity.

Other risks related to the Corporation’s future performance include, but are not limited to: both price and volume and include a recurrence of widespread decline in aggregates pricing; a greater-than-expected decline in infrastructure construction as a result of continued delays in traditional federal, ARRA, state and/or local infrastructure projects and continued lack of clarity regarding the timing and amount of the federal highway bill; a decline in nonresidential construction; a slowdown in the residential construction recovery; or some combination thereof. Further, increased highway construction funding pressures resulting from either federal or state issues can affect profitability. Currently, nearly all states are experiencing some funding-level pressures driven by lower tax revenues. If these pressures reduce transportation budgets more than in the past, construction spending could be negatively affected. North Carolina and Texas are among the states experiencing these general pressures, although recent statistics indicate that tax revenues are increasing; these states disproportionately affect the Corporation’s revenue and profitability.

The Corporation’s principal business serves customers in construction aggregates-related markets. This concentration could increase the risk of potential losses on customer receivables; however, payment bonds normally posted on public projects, together with lien rights on private projects, help to mitigate the risk of uncollectible receivables. The level of aggregates demand in the Corporation’s end-use markets, production levels and the management of production costs will affect the operating leverage of the Aggregates business and, therefore, profitability. Production costs in the Aggregates business are also sensitive to energy prices, both directly and indirectly. Diesel and other fuels change production costs directly through consumption or indirectly in the increased cost of energy-related consumables, such as, steel, explosives, tires and conveyor belts. Fluctuating diesel pricing also affects transportation costs, primarily through fuel surcharges in the Corporation’s long-haul distribution network.

Transportation in the Corporation’s long-haul network, particularly barge availability on the Mississippi River system, as well as rail cars and locomotive power to move trains, affects the Corporation’s ability to efficiently transport material into certain markets, most notably Texas, Florida and the Gulf Coast. The Aggregates business is also subject to weather-related risks that can significantly affect production schedules and profitability. The first and fourth quarters are most adversely affected by winter weather.

Risks to the 2011 outlook include shipment declines as a result of economic events beyond the Corporation’s control. In addition to the impact on nonresidential and residential construction, the Corporation is exposed to risk in its estimated outlook from credit markets and the availability of and interest cost related to its debt.

Factors that the Corporation currently believes could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, the performance of the United States economy; widespread decline in aggregates pricing; the level and timing of federal and state transportation funding, including federal stimulus projects and most particularly in North Carolina, one of the Corporation’s largest and most profitable states, and Texas, Georgia, Iowa and Louisiana, which when coupled with North Carolina, represented 55% of 2010 net sales of the Aggregates business; the ability of states and/or other entities to finance approved projects either with tax revenues or alternative financing structures; levels of construction spending in the markets the Corporation serves; the severity of a continued decline in the commercial construction market, notably office and retail space; a slowdown in residential construction recovery; unfavorable weather conditions, particularly Atlantic Ocean hurricane activity, the late start to spring or the early onset of winter and the impact of a drought in the markets served by the Corporation; the volatility of fuel costs, particularly diesel fuel, and the impact on the cost of other consumables, namely steel, explosives, tires and conveyor belts; continued increases in the cost of other repair and supply parts; transportation availability, notably barge availability on the Mississippi River system and the availability of railcars and locomotive power to move trains to supply the Corporation’s Texas, Florida and Gulf Coast markets; increased transportation costs, including increases from higher passed-through energy costs and higher volumes of rail and water shipments; availability and cost of construction equipment in the United States; weakening in the steel industry markets served by the Corporation’s dolomitic lime products; inflation and its effect on both production and interest costs; ability to successfully integrate acquisitions quickly and in a cost-effective manner and achieve anticipated profitability to maintain compliance with the Corporation’s leverage ratio debt covenant; changes in tax laws, the interpretation of such laws and/or administrative practices that would increase the Corporation’s tax rate; violation of the debt covenant if price and volume return to previous levels of instability; downward pressure on the Corporation’s common stock price and its impact on goodwill impairment evaluations; and other risk factors listed from time to time found in the Corporation’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other factors besides those listed here may also adversely affect the Corporation, and may be material to the Corporation. The Corporation assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Corporation’s operations are highly dependent upon the interest rate-sensitive construction and steelmaking industries. Consequently, these marketplaces could experience lower levels of economic activity in an environment of rising interest rates or escalating costs.

Management has considered the current economic environment and its potential impact to the Corporation’s business. Demand for aggregates products, particularly in the nonresidential and residential construction markets, could decline if companies and consumers are unable to obtain financing for construction projects or if the economic recession causes delays or cancellations to capital projects. Additionally, uncertainty regarding federal highway funding, declining tax revenues and state budget deficits have negatively affected states’ abilities to finance infrastructure construction projects.

Demand in the residential construction market is affected by interest rates. The Federal Reserve kept the federal funds rate at zero percent during the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The residential construction market accounted for approximately 7% of the Corporation’s aggregates product line shipments in 2010.

Aside from these inherent risks from within its operations, the Corporation’s earnings are affected also by changes in short-term interest rates as a result of any temporary cash investments, including money market funds and Eurodollar time deposit accounts; any outstanding variable-rate borrowing facilities; and defined benefit pension plans. Additionally, the Corporation’s earnings are affected by energy costs. The Corporation has no counterparty risk.

Variable-Rate Borrowing Facilities. The Corporation has a $600 million Credit Agreement which supports its commercial paper program and a $100 million AR Credit Facility. Borrowings under these facilities and the commercial paper program bear interest at a variable interest rate. A hypothetical 100-basis-point increase in interest rates on outstanding borrowings of $250 million, which is the outstanding balance at March 31, 2011, would increase interest expense by $2.5 million on an annual basis.

Pension Expense. The Corporation’s results of operations are affected by its pension expense. Assumptions that affect this expense include the discount rate and, for the defined benefit pension plans only, the expected long-term rate of return on assets. Therefore, the Corporation has interest rate risk associated with these factors. The impact of hypothetical changes in these assumptions on the Corporation’s annual pension expense is discussed in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2011.

Page 34 of 42

MARTIN MARIETTA MATERIALS, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
FORM 10-Q
For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2011

Energy Costs. Energy costs, including diesel fuel, natural gas and liquid asphalt, represent significant production costs for the Corporation. A hypothetical 10% change in the Corporation’s energy costs in 2011 as compared with 2010, assuming constant volumes, would impact annual 2011 pretax earnings by approximately $15.6 million.

Aggregate Risk for Interest Rates and Energy Costs. Pension expense for 2011 was calculated based on assumptions selected at December 31, 2010. Therefore, interest rate risk in 2011 is limited to the potential effect related to the Corporation’s borrowings under variable-rate facilities. The effect of a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 1% on the $250 million of variable-rate borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2011 would be an increase of $2.5 million in interest expense in 2011. Additionally, a 10% change in energy costs compared with 2010 would impact annual pretax earnings by $15.6 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Item 5. Other Information.

The operation of the Corporation’s aggregates quarries and mines is subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA inspects the Corporation’s quarries and mines on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act.

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Corporation is required to present information regarding certain mining safety and health citations which MSHA has issued with respect to its aggregates mining operations in its periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In evaluating this information, consideration should be given to factors such as: (i) the number of citations and orders will vary depending on the size of the quarry or mine, (ii) the number of citations issued will vary from inspector to inspector and location to location, and (iii) citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and in that process, may be reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed.

The Corporation presents the following items regarding certain mining safety and health matters for the three months ended March 31, 2011:

•

Total number of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a mine safety or health hazard under section 104 of the Mine Act for which the Corporation has received a citation from MSHA (hereinafter, “Mine Act Section 104 Significant and Substantial Citations”);

•

Total number of orders issued under section 104(b) of the Mine Act (hereinafter, “Mine Act Section 104(b) Orders”);

•

Total number of citations and orders for unwarrantable failure of the mine operator to comply with mandatory health or safety standards under Section 104(d) of the Mine Act (hereinafter, “Mine Act Section 104(d) Unwarrantable Failure Citations/Orders”);

•

Total number of imminent danger orders issued under section 107(a) of the Mine Act (hereinafter, Mine Act Section 107(a) Imminent Danger Orders”); and

•

Total dollar value of proposed assessments from MSHA under the Mine Act.
