UNITED STATES LIME & MINERALS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2026
RESULTS AND DECLARES REGULAR QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND
Dallas, Texas, July 29, 2026 - United States Lime & Minerals, Inc. (NASDAQ: USLM) today reported second quarter 2026 results: The Company’s revenues in the second quarter 2026 were $99.1 million, compared to $91.5 million in the second quarter 2025, an increase of $7.6 million, or 8.3%. For the first six months 2026, the Company’s revenues were $187.0 million, compared to $182.8 million in the first six months 2025, an increase of $4.2 million, or 2.3%. The increases in revenues in the second quarter and first six months 2026, compared to the comparable 2025 periods, resulted primarily from increased sales volumes, principally due to increased demand from the Company’s construction and steel customers, partially offset by decreased demand from the Company’s roof shingle customers.
The Company’s gross profit was $46.7 million in the second quarter 2026, compared to $41.9 million in the second quarter 2025, an increase of $4.8 million, or 11.6%. The Company’s gross profit was $88.5 million in the first six months 2026, compared to $88.0 million in the first six months 2025, an increase of $0.4 million, or 0.5%. The increases in gross profit in the second quarter and first six months 2026, compared to the comparable 2025 periods, resulted primarily from the increases in revenues discussed above, partially offset by higher fuel and transportation costs.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $6.1 million in the second quarter 2026, compared to $6.2 million in the second quarter 2025, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 2.0%. SG&A expenses were $12.0 million in the first six months 2026, compared to $12.5 million in the first six months 2025, a decrease of $0.4 million or 3.3%. The decreases in SG&A expenses in the second quarter and first six months 2026, compared to the comparable 2025 periods, were primarily due to decreased stock-based compensation.
Other (income) expense, net was $3.4 million and $6.6 million income in the second quarter and first six months 2026, compared to $3.1 million and $6.2 million income in the second quarter and first six months 2025, increases of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The increases in other (income) expense, net for the second quarter and first six months 2026, compared to the comparable 2025 periods, were primarily due to interest earned on higher average balances of cash and cash equivalents.
The Company reported net income of $34.5 million ($1.20 per share diluted) and $65.1 million ($2.26 per share diluted) in the second quarter and first six months 2026, compared to $30.8 million ($1.07 per share diluted) and $64.9 million ($2.26 per share diluted) in the second quarter and first six months 2025, increases of $3.7 million, or 11.9%, and $0.1 million, or 0.2%, respectively.
“We are pleased with the Company’s financial performance in the second quarter 2026. Demand was up, compared to 2025, led by our construction and steel customers,” said Timothy W. Byrne, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Looking ahead, we anticipate that data center projects should continue to support strong construction demand, and that the new kiln at our Texas facility will come online this summer,” Mr. Byrne added.
Dividend
The Company announced today that the Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share on the Company’s common stock. This dividend is payable on September 11, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 21, 2026.
