United States Lime & Minerals Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results And Declares Regular Quarterly Cash Dividend

DALLAS, Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United States Lime & Minerals, Inc. (NASDAQ: USLM) today reported third quarter 2025 results: The Company’s revenues in the third quarter 2025 were $102.0 million, compared to $89.4 million in the third quarter 2024, an increase of $12.6 million, or 14.1%. For the first nine months 2025, the Company’s revenues were $284.8 million, compared to $237.7 million in the first nine months 2024, an increase of $47.1 million, or 19.8%. The increases in revenues in the third quarter and first nine months 2025, compared to the comparable 2024 periods, resulted from increases in sales volumes and average selling prices of the Company’s lime and limestone products. The increases in sales volumes for the 2025 periods were principally due to the Company’s construction, environmental, and steel customers, partially offset by decreases in sales volume to the Company’s oil and gas services customers.

The Company’s gross profit was $52.2 million in the third quarter 2025, compared to $43.1 million in the third quarter 2024, an increase of $9.1 million, or 21.1%. The Company’s gross profit in the first nine months 2025 was $140.2 million, compared to $108.5 million in the first nine months 2024, an increase of $31.7 million, or 29.2%. The increases in gross profit in the third quarter and first nine months 2025, compared to the comparable 2024 periods, resulted primarily from the increases in revenues discussed above.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $5.9 million in the third quarter 2025, compared to $5.0 million in the third quarter 2024, an increase of $1.0 million, or 19.1%. SG&A expenses were $18.4 million in the first nine months 2025, compared to $14.7 million in the first nine months 2024, an increase of $3.7 million, or 25.0%. The increases in SG&A expenses in the third quarter and first nine months 2025, compared to the comparable 2024 periods, were primarily due to increased personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation.

Other (income) expense, net was $3.4 million and $9.6 million income in the third quarter and first nine months 2025, compared to $3.1 million and $8.4 million income in the third quarter and first nine months 2024, reflecting increases of $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The increases in other (income) expense, net for the third quarter and first nine months 2025, compared to the comparable 2024 periods, were primarily due to interest earned on higher average balances of cash and cash equivalents.

The Company reported net income of $38.8 million ($1.35 per share diluted) and $103.7 million ($3.61 per share diluted) in the third quarter and first nine months 2025, compared to $33.4 million ($1.16 per share diluted) and $81.8 million ($2.85 per share diluted) in the third quarter and first nine months 2024, reflecting increases of $5.4 million, or 16.3%, and $21.9 million, or 26.7%, respectively.

“We are pleased with the Company’s continued strong financial performance in the third quarter 2025. Demand from our construction customers remained solid, supported by the construction of large data centers in the regions that we serve,” said Timothy W. Byrne, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Looking ahead, we anticipate a more mixed demand picture, with ongoing data center construction demand being partially offset by softer demand from some of the other industries that we serve,” Mr. Byrne added.
