Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Vulcan Materials Company filed a specialized disclosure report under Rule 13q-1, detailing payments to governments related to its minerals (aggregates) operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. The company reports total payments of 203,400 in U.S. dollars (in thousands) across taxes, royalties, fees, production entitlements, and community and social responsibility payments.
Vulcan had 363 mining properties as of December 31, 2024, with 244 actively mined, 79 in development, and 40 in exploration, primarily using open pit mining for crushed stone, sand, and gravel. U.S. payments include 187,848 (U.S. dollars in thousands) of taxes tied to consolidated federal income taxes allocated to the Aggregates segment. Additional payments were made in Canada, Honduras, and Mexico, converted to U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates.
In 2024, Vulcan acquired Wake Stone Corporation and Superior Ready Mix, L.P. and is using the permitted reporting delay, so payments by these acquired businesses are excluded from this report and will first appear in Vulcan’s Form SD for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
