Executive summary

Titan America Q2 FY26 — Strong Mid-Atlantic Performance and Keystone Integration

Titan America delivered solid Q2 FY26 results, driven by robust Mid-Atlantic performance and the strategic acquisition of Keystone Cement, which is expected to yield significant synergies. Despite temporary headwinds in Florida from maintenance outages and import disruptions, the company maintained strong financial flexibility and is focused on capitalizing on infrastructure and private nonresidential demand.

Concerns

4

  • Adjusted EBITDA margin declined by 180 bps to 21.4% in Q2, primarily due to Pennsuco outage costs.

Deals & partnerships

Keystone Cement Company Expands geographic reach in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware, and Maryland; strengthens vertically integrated footprint in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Acquisition completed in Q2 FY26. Funded with a combination of cash on hand and a new term loan issued in April 2026. Synergies expected to build over a 3-year period, with the largest contribution in year 3.

Capital programs

Fly Ash Recycling Plant at Brunner Island underway $30 million
Start: under construction

Benefit:400,000 tons of concrete grade fly ash per year

First-of-its-kind plant recovering fly ash directly from landfills. Complements the newly acquired Keystone plant.

Risks & headwinds

Residential Construction Softness Q2 FY26, ongoing

Continued headwinds in residential construction activity, leading to project delays and softer cement demand impacting the Florida region.

Mitigation:Focused participation in high-growth, high-value market segments like non-residential and infrastructure in the Mid-Atlantic.

Extended Maintenance Outages Q2 FY26

Scheduled extended maintenance shutdowns at the Pennsuco plant resulted in longer outages than prior year, negatively impacting Florida Q2 results. Contributed to an adverse direct impact of approximately $7 million in Q2.

Mitigation:The Q2 outage is complete. Normal, shorter duration maintenance is still ahead in H2, but not expected to be disruptive.

Import Logistics Disruptions Q2 FY26

Substantial delays in cement imports due to disruptions in overseas ports and shipping, leading to stock-outs and the need for costly third-party supply. Contributed to an adverse direct impact of approximately $7 million in Q2.

Mitigation:Expect logistics conditions to normalize in H2 FY26. Import costs for cement were contracted for the year, but some sea freight rates are exposed in H2 and are higher than a year ago.

Inflationary Pressures Q2 FY26, ongoing

Higher raw material and energy costs (fuel, electricity), more significant in Florida than Mid-Atlantic.

Mitigation:Operational excellence initiatives and successful management of price over cost.

Potential Canadian Cement Tariffs Uncertain

Discussions around tariffs on imported Canadian cement.

Mitigation:Management is monitoring the situation and waiting to see how it plays out, as the impact on their markets is not yet clear.

Why it matters

Recovery in the Florida ready-mix business is crucial for overall segment performance, which faced significant headwinds in Q2.

Look, I think as we look at the ready-mix business that we've got, in particular, drives some of the cement volumes that [ can be pull through ], we see better times ahead for that in Florida in the second half of the year based on the order book that we have.

Q&A highlights

Can you elaborate on cement pricing trends, especially the softness in Florida, and how you're managing price-cost given inflationary pressures?

Mid-Atlantic pricing is robust due to non-residential and infrastructure demand, while Florida pricing is resilient but not increasing, mainly due to residential softness and Q2 specific headwinds (Pennsuco outage, import disruptions). Management states they managed price over cost well, with Mid-Atlantic margins improving despite inflationary pressures.

“What I can say for sure is that pricing dynamics remain stable. And we see more dynamic pricing in growing regions and especially growing applications and regions, especially in the Mid-Atlantic.”

Detailed narrative

Keystone Cement Acquisition

Titan America completed the acquisition of Keystone Cement Company in Q2 FY26, expanding its geographic reach into Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware, and Maryland. This acquisition strengthens the company's vertically integrated footprint in the Mid-Atlantic region and is expected to generate at least $30 million in annual run-rate synergies by 2029, with the largest contribution anticipated in year three as operational, commercial, and logistics initiatives take full effect.

Data Center Market Participation

The company is actively capitalizing on the data center construction boom in Virginia, which is the world's data center capital. Titan America participates in over 50% of the 148 data centers currently under construction in its serviceable market area, with an additional 250 data centers in pre-construction in the state, indicating sustained demand for construction materials and follow-on investments in power generation and infrastructure.

Fly Ash Recycling Plant Investment

Titan America's subsidiary, Separation Technologies (ST), is developing a first-of-its-kind fly ash recycling plant at the Brunner Island Steam Electric Station in Pennsylvania. This plant, requiring an investment of approximately $30 million, is already under construction and expected to be fully operational in Q3 FY27. It will produce about 400,000 tons of concrete-grade fly ash annually by recovering material directly from landfills, complementing the Keystone plant's product mix.

Florida Segment Headwinds

The Florida segment faced temporary headwinds in Q2 FY26, including extended scheduled maintenance shutdowns at the Pennsuco cement and aggregates plant and substantial delays in cement imports due to disruptions in overseas ports and shipping. These issues led to reduced production, stock-outs, and increased costs from third-party sourcing, resulting in an adverse direct impact of approximately $7 million and impacting the segment's profitability.

Mid-Atlantic Segment Strength

The Mid-Atlantic region demonstrated strong performance, driven by robust project activity in private nonresidential and public infrastructure investments, particularly in data centers. This led to significant volume growth and higher ready-mix concrete pricing, offsetting softness in residential demand and contributing to improved segment margins. Keystone contributed $20 million to the segment's Q2 revenue.
