EXPLANATORY NOTE

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “report”) is a combined quarterly report being filed separately by two registrants: Summit Materials, Inc. and Summit Materials, LLC. Each registrant hereto is filing on its own behalf all of the information contained in this report that relates to such registrant. Each registrant hereto is not filing any information that does not relate to such registrant, and therefore makes no representation as to any such information. We believe that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Summit Materials, Inc. and Summit Materials, LLC into this single report eliminates duplicative and potentially confusing disclosure and provides a more streamlined presentation since a substantial amount of the disclosure applies to both registrants.

Unless stated otherwise or the context requires otherwise, references to “Summit Inc.” mean Summit Materials, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and references to “Summit LLC” mean Summit Materials, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The references to Summit Inc. and Summit LLC are used in cases where it is important to distinguish between them. We use the terms “we,” “our,” “us” or “the Company” to refer to Summit Inc. and Summit LLC together with their respective subsidiaries, unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires.

Summit Inc. was formed on September 23, 2014 to be a holding company. As of April 2, 2016, its sole material asset was a 49.7% economic interest in Summit Materials Holdings L.P. (“Summit Holdings”). Summit Inc. has 100% of the voting rights of Summit Holdings, which is the indirect parent of Summit LLC. Summit LLC is a co-issuer of our outstanding 8 1/₂% senior notes due 2022 (“2022 Notes”) and our 61/₈% senior notes due 2023 (“2023 Notes” and collectively with the 2022 Notes, the "Senior Notes"). Summit Inc.’s only revenue for the three months ended April 2, 2016 was that generated by Summit LLC. Summit Inc. controls all of the business and affairs of Summit Holdings and, in turn, Summit LLC, as a result of its reorganization into a holding corporation structure consummated in connection with the initial public offering of its Class A common stock on March 11, 2015 (“IPO”).

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, and you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “trends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects” or “anticipates” or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans, expectations or intentions. All statements made relating to our estimated and projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, it is very difficult to predict the effect of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or our objectives and plans will be realized. Important factors could affect our results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements, including but not limited to the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Summit Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2016 (the “Annual Report”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), any factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of this report, and the following:

risks related to weather and seasonality;

risks associated with our capital-intensive business;

competition within our local markets;

Table of Contents

our ability to execute on our acquisition strategy, successfully integrate acquisitions with our existing operations and retain key employees of acquired businesses;

our dependence on securing and permitting aggregate reserves in strategically located areas;

declines in public infrastructure construction and reductions in governmental funding, including the funding by transportation authorities and other state agencies;

environmental, health, safety and climate change laws or governmental requirements or policies concerning zoning and land use;

conditions in the credit markets;

our ability to accurately estimate the overall risks, requirements or costs when we bid on or negotiate contracts that are ultimately awarded to us;

material costs and losses as a result of claims that our products do not meet regulatory requirements or contractual specifications;

cancellation of a significant number of contracts or our disqualification from bidding for new contracts;

special hazards related to our operations that may cause personal injury or property damage not covered by insurance;

our substantial current level of indebtedness;

our dependence on senior management and other key personnel; and

interruptions in our information technology systems and infrastructure.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.

Any forward-looking statement that we make herein speaks only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tables in thousands, except share amounts)

1.SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Summit Materials, Inc. (“Summit Inc.” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a vertically-integrated construction materials company. The Company is engaged in the production and sale of aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt paving mix and concrete products and owns and operates quarries, sand and gravel pits, two cement plants, cement distribution terminals, ready-mixed concrete plants, asphalt plants and landfill sites. It is also engaged in paving and related services. The Company has three operating segments, which are also its reporting segments: West; East; and Cement.

Substantially all of the Company’s products and services are produced, consumed and performed outdoors, primarily in the spring, summer and fall. Seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions can affect the production and sales volumes of its products and delivery of services. Therefore, the financial results for any interim period are typically not indicative of the results expected for the full year. Furthermore, the Company’s sales and earnings are sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions and to cyclical changes in construction spending, among other factors.

On September 23, 2014, Summit Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation to be a holding company. Its sole material asset is a controlling equity interest in Summit Materials Holdings L.P. (“Summit Holdings”). Pursuant to a reorganization into a holding company structure (the “Reorganization”) consummated in connection with Summit Inc.’s March 2015 initial public offering, Summit Inc. became a holding corporation operating and controlling all of the business and affairs of Summit Holdings and its subsidiaries and, through Summit Holdings, conducts its business. Together with Summit Inc., certain investment funds affiliated with Blackstone Capital Partners V L.P. and Silverhawk Summit, L.P. (collectively, the “Sponsors”) are the primary owners of Summit Holdings.

Equity Offerings—Summit Inc. commenced operations on March 11, 2015 upon the pricing of the initial public offering of its Class A common stock (“IPO”). Summit Inc. raised $433.0 million, net of underwriting discounts, through the issuance of 25,555,555 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $18.00 per share. Summit Inc. used the offering proceeds to purchase a number of newly-issued Class A Units (“LP Units”) from Summit Holdings equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued to the public. Summit Inc. caused Summit Holdings to use these proceeds: (i) to redeem $288.2 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 10 1/₂% senior notes due January 31, 2020 (“2020 Notes”); (ii) to purchase 71,428,571 Class B Units of Continental Cement Company, L.L.C. (“Continental Cement”); (iii) to pay a one-time termination fee of $13.8 million primarily to affiliates of the Sponsors in connection with the termination of a transaction and management fee agreement; and (iv) for general corporate purposes. The $288.2 million redemption of 2020 Notes was completed in the second quarter of 2015 at a redemption price equal to par plus an applicable premium of $38.2 million plus $5.2 million of accrued and unpaid interest.

On August 11, 2015, Summit Inc. raised $555.8 million, net of underwriting discounts, through the issuance of 22,425,000 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $25.75 per share ("follow-on offering"). Summit Inc. used these proceeds to purchase 3,750,000 newly-issued LP Units from Summit Holdings and 18,675,000 LP Units from certain of our pre-IPO owners, at a purchase price per LP Unit equal to the public offering price per share of Class A common stock, less underwriting discounts and commissions. Summit Holdings used the proceeds from the 3,750,000 newly-issued LP Units to pay the deferred purchase price of $80.0 million related to the July 17, 2015 acquisition of a cement plant and a quarry in Davenport, Iowa, and seven cement terminals along the Mississippi River (the “Davenport Assets”) and for general corporate purposes.

Basis of Presentation—These unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and

Table of Contents

footnote disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended January 2, 2016. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in those consolidated financial statements.

Management believes that these consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of April 2, 2016 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company’s fiscal year is based on a 52-53 week year with each quarter composed of 13 weeks ending on a Saturday. The 53-week year occurs approximately once every seven years and occurred in 2015. The additional week in the 53-week year was included in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Summit Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries. As a result of the Reorganization, Summit Holdings became a variable interest entity. Summit Inc. is the primary beneficiary of Summit Holdings as a result of its 100% voting power and control over Summit Holdings and its obligation to absorb losses and its right to receive benefits of Summit Holdings and thus consolidates Summit Holdings in its consolidated financial statements with a corresponding noncontrolling interest elimination of 50.3% between January 2, 2016 and April 2, 2016 and 72.2% between March 11, 2015 and March 28, 2015. Collectively, Summit Inc.’s August 2015 follow-on offering and its December 2015 stock dividend decreased the noncontrolling interest’s economic interest from 72.2% to 50.3%.

Noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries represent a 20% ownership in Ohio Valley Asphalt, LLC and, prior to the IPO and concurrent purchase of the noncontrolling interests of Continental Cement, a 30% redeemable ownership in Continental Cement. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company attributes consolidated stockholders’ equity and net income separately to the controlling and noncontrolling interests. The Company accounts for investments in entities for which it has an ownership of 20% to 50% using the equity method of accounting.

Use of Estimates—Preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement obligations and asset retirement obligations. Estimates also include revenue earned on contracts and costs to complete contracts. Most of the Company’s paving and related services are performed under fixed unit-price contracts with state and local governmental entities. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results can differ significantly from estimates made. Changes in estimates, including those resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment, are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the change in estimate occurs.

Business and Credit Concentrations—The Company’s operations are conducted primarily across 22 U.S. states and in British Columbia, Canada, with the most significant revenue generated in Texas, Kansas, Utah, Missouri and Kentucky. The Company’s accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from customers within these areas. Therefore, collection of these accounts is dependent on the economic conditions in the aforementioned states, as well as specific situations affecting individual customers. Credit granted within the Company’s trade areas has been granted to many customers, and management does not believe that a significant concentration of credit exists with respect to any individual customer or group of customers. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue in the three months ended April 2, 2016.

Earnings per Share—The Company computes basic earnings per share attributable to stockholders by dividing income attributable to Summit Inc. by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding.

Table of Contents

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic earnings per share that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in the Company’s earnings. Since the Class B common stock has no economic value, those shares are not included in the weighted-average common share amount for basic or diluted earnings per share. In addition, as the shares of Class A common stock are issued by Summit Inc., the earnings and equity interests of noncontrolling interests are not included in basic or diluted earnings per share.

Fair Value Measurements—Certain acquisitions made by the Company require the payment of contingent amounts of purchase consideration. These payments are contingent on specified operating results being achieved in periods subsequent to the acquisition and will only be made if earn-out thresholds are achieved. Contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value each reporting period. Any adjustments to fair value are recognized in earnings in the period identified.

The Company has entered into interest rate derivatives on $200.0 million of its term loan borrowings to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The fair value of contingent consideration and derivatives as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016 was:


	April 2,		January 2,
	2016		2016
Current portion of acquisition-related liabilities and Accrued expenses:
Contingent consideration	$	5,057	$	4,918
Cash flow hedges		457		224
Acquisition-related liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities
Contingent consideration	$	1,844	$	2,475
Cash flow hedges		2,654		681

The fair value of contingent consideration was based on unobservable, or Level 3, inputs, including projected probability-weighted cash payments and an 11.0% discount rate, which reflects a market discount rate. Changes in fair value may occur as a result of a change in actual or projected cash payments, the probability weightings applied by the Company to projected payments or a change in the discount rate. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation could result in a lower, or higher, fair value measurement. The fair value of the cash flow hedges are based on observable, or Level 2, inputs such as interest rates, bond yields and prices in inactive markets. There were no material valuation adjustments in the three months ended April 2, 2016 or March 28, 2015.

Financial Instruments—The Company’s financial instruments include debt and certain acquisition-related liabilities (deferred consideration and noncompete obligations). The carrying value and fair value of these financial instruments as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016 was:


	April 2, 2016				January 2, 2016
	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Level 2
Long-term debt(1)	$	1,517,706	$	1,540,410	$	1,283,799	$	1,291,858

Level 3
Current portion of deferred consideration and noncompete obligations(2)		12,740		12,740		15,666		15,666
Long term portion of deferred consideration and noncompete obligations(3)		30,331		30,331		37,502		37,502

The fair value of debt was determined based on observable, or Level 2, inputs, such as interest rates, bond yields and quoted prices in inactive markets. The fair values of the deferred consideration and noncompete obligations were determined based on unobservable, or Level 3, inputs, including the cash payment terms in the purchase agreements and a discount rate reflecting the Company’s credit risk.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest — On March 17, 2015, upon the consummation of the IPO and the transactions contemplated by a contribution and purchase agreement entered into with the holders of all of the outstanding Class B Units of Continental Cement, Continental Cement became a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Summit Inc. The noncontrolling interests of Continental Cement were acquired for aggregate consideration of $64.1 million, consisting of $35.0 million of cash, 1,029,183 shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock and $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of non-interest bearing notes payable in six annual installments of $2.5 million, beginning on March 17, 2016.

New Accounting Standards — In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard with targeted amendments to the accounting for employee share-based payments. Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, requires that the income tax effect of share-based awards be recognized in the income statement and allows entities to elect an accounting method to recognize forfeitures as they occur or to estimate forfeitures, as is currently required. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. However, the Company early adopted this ASU as of the beginning of fiscal year 2016 and made an election to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The ASU adoption was applied using a modified retrospective method by means of a $1.7 million cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to the standard of lease accounting, ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which will result in lessees recognizing most leases on-balance sheet. Lessees are required to disclose more quantitative and qualitative information about their leases than current U.S. GAAP requires. They are also required to apply the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements when they first apply the new standard. The new standard must be adopted by December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the effect that the adoption of this ASU will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard to improve and converge the financial reporting requirements for revenue from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, prescribes a five-step model for revenue recognition that will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The ASU will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and provides that an entity recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU No. 2014-09 allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. In July 2015, the FASB postponed the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year to the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than 2017. Management is currently assessing the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications — Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

2.REORGANIZATION

Prior to the IPO and Reorganization, the capital structure of Summit Holdings consisted of six different classes of limited partnership interests (Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B-1, Class C, Class D-1 and Class D-2), each of which

Table of Contents

was subject to unique distribution rights. There were no outstanding Class A-2 interests. In connection with the IPO and the Reorganization, the limited partnership agreement of Summit Holdings was amended and restated to, among other things, modify its capital structure by creating the LP Units, referred to as the “Reclassification.” Immediately following the Reclassification, 69,007,297 LP Units were outstanding. In addition, in substitution for part of the economic benefit of the Class C and Class D interests that was not reflected in the conversion of such interests to LP Units, warrants were issued to holders of Class C interests to purchase an aggregate of 160,333 shares of Class A common stock, and options were issued to holders of Class D interests to purchase an aggregate of 4,358,842 shares of Class A common stock (“leverage restoration options”). The exercise price of the warrants and leverage restoration options is the IPO price of $18.00 per share. In conjunction with the Reclassification of the equity-based awards, the Company recognized a $14.5 million modification charge in general and administrative costs in the three months ended March 28, 2015.

The leverage restoration options were granted under the Summit Materials, Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”). The leverage restoration options that correlate to time-vesting interests vest over four years, beginning on the Reclassification date and the leverage restoration options that correlate to performance-vesting interests vest only when both the relevant return multiple is achieved and a four year time-vesting condition is satisfied. The time-based vesting condition for both the time-vesting and performance-vesting interests will be satisfied with respect to 25% of the performance-vesting options on each of the first four anniversaries of the Reclassification date, subject to the employee’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

The Company also granted 240,000 options to purchase shares of Class A common stock under the Omnibus Incentive Plan to certain employees some of whom had not previously been granted equity-based interests. These stock options have an exercise price of $18.00 per share, the IPO price, and are subject to a time-based vesting condition that will be satisfied with respect to 25% of the award on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the employee’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

3.INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company’s intangible assets are primarily composed of goodwill, lease agreements and reserve rights. The assets related to lease agreements reflect the submarket royalty rates paid under agreements, primarily, for extracting aggregates. The values were determined as of the respective acquisition dates by a comparison of market-royalty rates. The reserve rights relate to aggregate reserves to which the Company has the rights of ownership, but do not own the reserves. The intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the leases.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by reportable segment, from January 2, 2016 to April 2, 2016 are summarized as follows:


	West		East		Cement		Total
Balance, January 2, 2016	$	303,926	$	98,308	$	194,163	$	596,397

(1)

Includes goodwill from the East segment’s acquisitions of Boxley Materials Company (“Boxley”) and American Materials Company (“AMC”) in the three months ended April 2, 2016. Boxley is a vertically-integrated materials-based company serving Roanoke, Virginia and surrounding areas. AMC is an aggregates and ready-mixed concrete business serving the Carolinas. The purchase price allocation for the 2015 and 2016 acquisitions, primarily related to the valuation of property, plant and equipment, has not yet been finalized due to the recent timing of the acquisitions. Included in the West segment’s goodwill are certain working capital adjustments related to 2015 acquisitions.

Senior Notes— On March 8, 2016, the Issuers issued $250.0 million of 8.500% senior notes due April 15, 2022 (the “2022 Notes”). The 2022 Notes were issued at 100.0% of their par value with proceeds of $246.3 million, net of related fees and expenses. The proceeds from the sale of the 2022 Notes were used to fund the acquisition of Boxley, replenish cash used for the acquisition of AMC and the expenses incurred in connection with these acquisitions. The 2022 Notes were issued under an indenture dated March 8, 2016 (as amended and supplemented, the “2016 Indenture”). The 2016 Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, Summit LLC and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make certain investments, sell or transfer certain assets, create liens, consolidate, merger, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the company’s assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The 2016 Indenture also contains customary events of default. Interest on the 2022 Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year commencing on October 15, 2016.

In 2015, the Issuers issued $650.0 million of 6.125% senior notes due July 2023 (the "2023 Notes”). The net proceeds from the 2023 Notes, with proceeds from the refinancing of the term loan described below, were used to pay the $370.0 million initial purchase price for the Davenport Assets, to redeem $183.0 million plus $153.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2020 Notes and pay related fees and expenses. Of the aggregate $650.0 million of 2023 Notes in 2015, $350.0 million were issued at par and $300.0 million were issued at 99.375% of par. The 2023 Notes were issued under an indenture dated July 8, 2015 (as amended and supplemented, the “2015 Indenture”), the terms of which are generally consistent with the 2016 Indenture. Interest on the 2023 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year commencing on January 15, 2016.

In April, August and November 2015, using proceeds from the IPO, the refinancing of the term loan described below and the proceeds from the 2023 Notes, $288.2 million, $183.0 million and $153.8 million, respectively, aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2020 Notes were redeemed at a price equal to par plus an applicable premium and the indenture under which the 2020 Notes were issued was satisfied and discharged. As a result of the redemptions, net charges of $56.5 million were recognized in the year ended January 2, 2016. The fees included $66.6 million for the applicable prepayment premium and $11.9 million for the write-off of deferred financing fees, partially offset by $22.0 million of net benefit from the write-off the original issuance net premium in the year ended January 2, 2016. There were no related charges recognized for the three months ended March 28, 2015, as the first redemption was in April 2015.

As of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the indentures that were applicable as of each date.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities— Summit LLC has credit facilities that provide for term loans in an aggregate amount of $650.0 million and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $235.0 million (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). Under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, required principal repayments of 0.25% of term debt are due on the last business day of each March, June, September and December. The unpaid principal balance is due in full on the maturity date, which is July 17, 2022. On July 17, 2015, Summit LLC refinanced its term loan under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “Refinancing”). The Refinancing, among other things: (i) reduced the applicable margins used to calculate interest rates for term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities to 3.25% for LIBOR rate loans and 2.25% for base rate loans, subject to a LIBOR floor

Table of Contents

of 1.00% (and one 25 basis point step down upon Summit LLC achieving a certain first lien net leverage ratio); (ii) increased term loans borrowed under the term loan facility from $422.0 million to an aggregate $650.0 million; and (iii) created additional flexibility under the financial maintenance covenants, which are tested quarterly, by increasing the applicable maximum Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the “Credit Agreement”).

On March 11, 2015, Summit LLC entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement, which became effective on March 17, 2015 upon the consummation of the IPO. The amendment: (i) increased the size of the revolving credit facility from $150.0 million to $235.0 million; (ii) extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to March 11, 2020; (iii) amended certain covenants; and (iv) permits periodic tax distributions as contemplated in a tax receivable agreement, dated March 11, 2015. As a result of this amendment, $0.8 million of financing fees were recognized in the three months ended March 28, 2015.

The revolving credit facility bears interest per annum equal to, at Summit LLC’s option, either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin of 2.25% for base rate loans or (ii) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to Reuters prior to the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs plus an applicable margin of 3.25% for LIBOR rate loans.

There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of April 2, 2016, leaving remaining borrowing capacity of $210.6 million, which is net of $24.4 million of outstanding letters of credit. The outstanding letters of credit are renewed annually and support required bonding on construction projects and the Company’s insurance liabilities.

Summit LLC’s Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, as such term is defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, should be no greater than 4.75:1.0 as of each quarter-end. As of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, Summit LLC was in compliance with all covenants.

9.INCOME TAXES

Summit Inc.’s tax provision includes its proportional share of Summit Holdings’ tax attributes. Summit Holdings’ subsidiaries are primarily limited liability companies, but do include certain entities organized as C corporations and a Canadian subsidiary. The tax attributes related to the limited liability companies are passed on to Summit Holdings and then to its partners, including Summit Inc. The tax attributes associated with the C corporation and Canadian subsidiaries are fully reflected in the Company’s accounts.

The effective income tax rate for the C corporations differ from the statutory federal rate primarily due to (1) tax depletion expense in excess of the expense recorded under U.S. GAAP, (2) state income taxes and the effect of graduated tax rates and (3) various other items such as limitations on meals and entertainment and other costs. The effective income tax rate for the Canadian subsidiary is not significantly different from its historical effective tax rate.

As of April 2, 2016, and January 2, 2016, Summit Inc. and its subsidiaries had not recognized any liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company records interest and penalties as a component of the income tax provision. No material interest or penalties were recognized in income tax expense during the three months ended April 2, 2016, or March 28, 2015.

10. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding and diluted net loss is computed by dividing net loss, adjusted for changes in the amount allocated to Summit Inc. as a result of the assumed conversion of LP Units, by the weighted-average common shares outstanding assuming dilution.

The following table shows the calculation of basic loss per share:


	Three months ended
	April 2,		March 28,
	2016		2015
Net loss attributable to Summit Inc.	$	(21,118)	$	(10,151)
Weighted average shares of Class A shares outstanding		49,746,971		27,319,846
Basic loss per share	$	(0.42)	$	(0.37)

Excluded from the above calculation for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 were 50,261,471 and 69,007,297 LP Units, respectively, and 336,657 time-vesting restricted stock units and 130,691

Table of Contents

market-based restricted stock units were excluded from the above calculation for the three months ended April 2, 2016 as they had no effect on loss per share. Also excluded from the calculation were 2,767,458 and 2,280,314 time-vesting stock options in the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, respectively, as they were antidilutive. In addition, 160,333 warrants were excluded from the above calculation in the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 as they were antidilutive.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is party to certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business activities. Accruals are recorded when the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. While the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects that the ultimate resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity. The Company records legal fees as incurred.

Litigation and Claims—The Company is obligated under an indemnification agreement entered into with the sellers of Harper Contracting, Inc., Harper Sand and Gravel, Inc., Harper Excavating, Inc., Harper Ready Mix Company, Inc. and Harper Investments, Inc. for the sellers’ ownership interests in a joint venture agreement. The Company has the rights to any benefits under the joint venture as well as the assumption of any obligations, but does not own equity interests in the joint venture. The joint venture has incurred significant losses on a highway project in Utah, which have resulted in requests for funding from the joint venture partners and ultimately from the Company. Through April 2, 2016, the Company has funded $8.8 million, $4.0 million in 2012 and $4.8 million in 2011. In 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized losses on the indemnification agreement of $8.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. As of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, an accrual of $4.3 million was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities as management’s best estimate of future funding obligations.

Environmental Remediation and Site Restoration —The Company’s operations are subject to and affected by federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, health and safety and other regulatory matters. These operations require environmental operating permits, which are subject to modification, renewal and revocation. The Company regularly monitors and reviews its operations, procedures and policies for compliance with these laws and regulations. Despite these compliance efforts, risk of environmental liability is inherent in the operation of the Company’s business, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses and there can be no assurance that environmental liabilities or noncompliance will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company has site restoration obligations arising from regulatory and contractual requirements to perform reclamation activities at the time certain quarries and landfills are closed. As of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, $19.1 million and $18.7 million, respectively, were included in other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and $2.1 million and $2.0 million were included in accrued expenses for future reclamation costs. The total undiscounted anticipated costs for site reclamation as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016 were $63.2 million and $56.7 million, respectively.

Other—During the ordinary course of business, there may be revisions to project costs and conditions that can give rise to change orders. Revisions can also result in claims that the Company may make against the customer or a subcontractor to recover project variances that have not been satisfactorily addressed through change orders with the customer. As of April 2, 2016, there were no unapproved change orders or claims and, as of January 2, 2016, unapproved change orders and claims included in accounts receivable totaled $1.2 million.

The Company is obligated under various firm purchase commitments for certain raw materials and services that are in the ordinary course of business. Management does not expect any significant changes in the market value of these goods and services during the commitment period that would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. The terms of the purchase commitments generally approximate one year.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has three operating segments: West; East; and Cement, which are its reportable segments. These segments are consistent with the Company’s management reporting structure. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company reorganized the operations and management reporting structure of the Cement and East segment operations, resulting in a change to its reportable business segments. The Company now conducts the cement business separate from the regional segments. As a result, the cement business is a reportable business segment. In addition, we have combined the materials-based businesses centered in Kansas and Missouri with the Kentucky-based operations, creating an expanded East segment and eliminating what was the Central region. These changes did not affect the West segment. Amounts in prior periods have been revised to reflect the current reporting structure.

The operating results of each segment are regularly reviewed and evaluated by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM primarily evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on a segment profit metric that we call Adjusted EBITDA, which is computed as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, accretion, share-based compensation, and transaction costs, as well as various other non-recurring, non-cash amounts.

The West and East segments have several acquired subsidiaries that are engaged in various activities including quarry mining, aggregate production and contracting. The Cement segment is engaged in the production of Portland cement. Assets employed by segment include assets directly identified with those operations. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash, property, plant and equipment for corporate operations and other assets not directly identifiable with a reportable business segment. The accounting policies applicable to each segment are consistent with those used in the consolidated financial statements.

The following tables display selected financial data for the Company’s reportable business segments as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, and for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015:

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Under the terms of a transaction and management fee agreement between Summit Holdings and Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C. (“BMP”), whose affiliates include controlling stockholders of the Company, BMP provided monitoring, advisory and consulting services to the Company through March 17, 2015. Under the terms of the agreement, BMP was permitted to assign, and had assigned, a portion of the fees to which it was entitled to Silverhawk Summit, L.P. and to certain other equity investors.

The management fee was calculated based on the greater of $300,000 or 2.0% of the Company’s annual consolidated profit, as defined in the agreement, and is included in general and administrative expenses. The Company incurred management fees totaling $1.0 million during the period between December 28, 2014 and March 17, 2015.

In connection with the IPO, the transaction and management fee agreement with BMP was terminated on March 17, 2015 for a final payment of $13.8 million; $13.4 million was paid to affiliates of BMP and the remaining $0.4 million was paid to affiliates of Silverhawk Summit, L.P. and to certain other equity investors.

In addition to the transaction and management fees paid to BMP, the Company reimbursed BMP for direct expenses incurred, which were not material in the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015.

Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P., an affiliate of BMP, served as an initial purchaser of $18.8 million of the 2022 Notes issued in March 2016 and $22.5 million and $26.3 million of the 2023 Notes issued in November 2015 and July 2015, respectively, and received compensation in connection therewith. In addition, Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P. served as an underwriter of 1,681,875 shares of Class A common stock issued in connection with the August 2015 follow-on offering and received compensation in connection therewith.

On July 17, 2015, the Company purchased the Davenport Assets from Lafarge North America Inc. for a purchase price of $450.0 million in cash and a cement distribution terminal in Bettendorf, Iowa. At closing, $370.0 million of the purchase price was paid, and the remaining $80.0 million was paid on August 13, 2015. Summit Holdings entered into a commitment letter dated April 16, 2015, with Blackstone Capital Partners V L.P. (“BCP”) for equity financing up to $90.0 million in the form of a preferred equity interest (the “Equity Commitment Financing”), which would have been used to pay the $80.0 million deferred purchase price if other financing was not attained by December 31, 2015. For the Equity Commitment Financing, the Company paid a $1.8 million commitment fee to BCP for the year ended January 2, 2016.

Overview

We are one of the fastest growing construction materials companies in the United States. Our materials include aggregates, which we supply across the country, with a focus on Texas, Kansas, Utah, Missouri and Kentucky, and cement, which we supply primarily in Missouri, Iowa and along the Mississippi River. Within our markets, we offer customers a single-source provider for construction materials and related downstream products through our vertical integration. In addition to supplying aggregates to customers, we use our materials internally to produce ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix, which may be sold externally or used in our paving and related services businesses. Our vertical integration creates opportunities to increase aggregates volumes, optimize margin at each stage of production and provide customers with efficiency gains, convenience and reliability, which we believe gives us a competitive advantage.

We have completed 41 acquisitions, which are organized into 12 operating companies that make up our three distinct operating segments—West, East and Cement—spanning 19 U.S. states and British Columbia, Canada and 38 metropolitan statistical areas. Our highly experienced management team, led by our President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Hill, a 35-year industry veteran, has successfully enhanced the operations of acquired companies by focusing on scale advantages, cost efficiencies and pricing discipline to improve profitability and cash flow.

As of April 2, 2016, we had 2.6 billion tons of proven and probable aggregates reserves serving our aggregates and cement businesses and operated over 300 sites and plants, to which we believe we have adequate road, barge and/or railroad access. From time to time, in connection with certain acquisitions, we engage a third party engineering firm to perform an aggregates reserves audit, but we do not perform annual reserve audits.

Table of Contents

We operate in 22 U.S. states and British Columbia, Canada and currently have assets in 19 U.S. states and in British Columbia, Canada. The map below illustrates our geographic footprint:

Business Trends and Conditions

The U.S. construction materials industry is composed of four primary sectors: aggregates; cement; ready-mixed concrete; and asphalt paving mix. Each of these materials is widely used in most forms of construction activity. Participants in these sectors typically range from small, privately-held companies focused on a single material, product or market to multinational corporations that offer a wide array of construction materials and services. Competition is constrained in part by the distance materials can be transported efficiently, resulting in predominantly local or regional operations. Due to the lack of product differentiation, competition for all of our products is predominantly based on price and, to a lesser extent, quality of products and service. As a result, the prices we charge our customers are not likely to be materially different from the prices charged by other producers in the same markets. Accordingly, our profitability is generally dependent on the level of demand for our products and our ability to control operating costs.

Our revenue is derived from multiple end-use markets including private residential and nonresidential construction, as well as public infrastructure construction. Residential and nonresidential construction consists of new construction and repair and remodel markets. The construction sectors in the local economies in which we operate have begun to show signs of recovery. However, we could still be affected by any economic stagnation or decline, which could vary by local region and market, could affect our results of operations. Our sales and earnings are sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions and particularly to cyclical changes in construction spending, especially in the private sector. From a macroeconomic view, we see positive indicators for the construction sector, including upward trends in housing starts, construction employment and highway obligations. All of these factors should result in increased construction activity in the private sector. However, we do not expect this recovery to be consistent across the United States. Certain of our markets are showing greater, more rapid signs of recovery. Increased construction activity in the private sector could lead to increased public infrastructure spending in the relatively near future. Public infrastructure includes spending by federal, state and local governments for roads, highways, bridges, airports and other

Table of Contents

infrastructure projects. Public infrastructure projects have historically been a relatively stable portion of state and federal budgets.

Transportation infrastructure projects, driven by both federal and state funding programs, represent a significant share of the U.S. construction materials market. Federal funds are allocated to the states, which are required to match a portion of the federal funds they receive. Federal highway spending uses funds predominantly from the Federal Highway Trust Fund, which derives its revenue from taxes on diesel fuel, gasoline and other user fees. The dependability of federal funding allows the state departments of transportation to plan for their long term highway construction and maintenance needs. The FAST Act was signed into law on December 4, 2015 and authorizes $305 billion of funding between 2016 and 2020. Over its five year term, it provides funding for surface transportation infrastructure, including roads, bridges, transit systems, and the rail transportation network. With the nation’s infrastructure aging, we expect U.S. infrastructure spending to grow over the long term, and we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on any such increase.

In addition to federal funding, highway construction and maintenance funding is also available through state, county and local agencies. Each of our five largest states by revenue (Texas, Kansas, Utah, Missouri and Kentucky, which represented approximately 33%, 16%, 11%, 10% and 8%, respectively, of our total revenue in 2015) each have funds whose revenue sources have certain constitutional protections that limit spending to transportation projects:

Texas Department of Transportation’s budget from 2014 to 2016 is $25.3 billion.

Kansas has a 10-year $8.2 billion highway bill that was passed in May 2010.

Utah’s transportation investment fund has $3.0 billion committed through 2018.

Missouri has an estimated $0.7 billion in annual construction funding committed to essential road and bridge programs through 2017.

Kentucky’s biennial highway construction plan has funding of $3.6 billion from July 2014 to June 2016.

Within many of our markets, state and local governments have taken actions to maintain or grow highway funding. For example:

On November 3, 2015, voters in Texas passed an additional proposition that dedicates up to $2.5 billion of the state’s sales and use tax revenue to the state’s highway fund beginning in 2018, and 35% of any excess revenue over $5 billion generated from the motor vehicles sales tax beginning in 2020.

On November 4, 2014, voters in Texas passed a proposition that is estimated to provide up to $1.7 billion of incremental funding annually to the Texas Department of Transportation. The funds must be used for construction, maintenance, rehabilitation and acquiring right-of-way for public roads.

Increases in heavy truck registration fees, dedicated sales tax revenue and bond issuances have enabled Kansas to maintain stability in public infrastructure spending.

We believe that public infrastructure spending in Kentucky, which comprises the majority of our revenue in the state, will remain consistent in the upcoming years.

We expect primarily maintenance-related public demand in Utah and Missouri, both of which have recently completed large spending programs.

Use and consumption of our products fluctuate due to seasonality. Nearly all of the products used by us, and by our customers, in the private construction and public infrastructure industries are used outdoors. Our highway operations and production and distribution facilities are also located outdoors. Therefore, seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions, in particular extended rainy and cold weather in the spring and fall and major weather events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms and heavy snows, can adversely affect our business and operations through a decline in both the use of our products and demand for our services. In addition, construction materials production and shipment levels follow activity in the construction industry, which typically occurs in the spring, summer and fall.

Table of Contents

Warmer and drier weather during the second and third quarters of our fiscal year typically result in higher activity and revenue levels during those quarters.

We are subject to commodity price risk with respect to price changes in liquid asphalt and energy, including fossil fuels and electricity for aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix production, natural gas for hot mix asphalt production and diesel fuel for distribution vehicles and production related mobile equipment. Liquid asphalt escalator provisions in most of our private and commercial contracts limit our exposure to price fluctuations in this commodity. We often obtain similar escalators on public infrastructure contracts. In addition, we enter into various firm purchase commitments, with terms generally less than one year, for certain raw materials. Through effective use of our purchase commitments and a year on year decline in prices, our costs associated with liquid asphalt and energy have decreased $2.4 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016 as compared to the three months ended March 28, 2015, taking into consideration organic and acquisition-related volume increases.

Our reporting unit based in Austin, Texas, where the economy has been expanding, has seen new market entrants, some of whom are aggressively seeking market share. We will continue to monitor the effect of this activity to assess whether an event occurs that indicates the carrying amount of the Austin-based reporting unit may be impaired requiring a goodwill impairment analysis. We did not recognize a goodwill impairment charge on the reporting unit’s $17.7 million of goodwill as of April 2, 2016. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit was 8.9% greater than its carrying value as of the date of the 2015 impairment test. The key assumptions in the impairment analysis were cash flows assuming no to moderate growth from 2015 and an 11.0% discount rate.

Our acquisition strategy has historically required us to raise capital through equity issuances or debt financings. As of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, our long-term borrowings, including the current portion and less original issue discount, totaled $1,545.1 million and $1,296.8 million, respectively, and we incurred $21.6 million and $24.1 million of interest expense for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015, respectively. Although the amounts borrowed and related interest expense are material to us, we have been in compliance with our debt covenants and, when we have made additional issuances of senior notes to fund acquisitions, we have complied with the incurrence tests in the indentures governing our senior notes. In addition, our cash flows provided by operating activities was $98.2 million in the year ended January 2, 2016, which is net of interest payments, all of which have been paid when due, along with principal payments. Our senior secured revolving credit facility, which provides us with up to $210.6 million of borrowing capacity, net of $24.4 million of outstanding letters of credit, has been adequate to fund our seasonal working capital needs and certain acquisitions. We had no outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016.

Backlog

Our products are generally delivered upon receipt of orders or requests from customers, or shortly thereafter. Accordingly, the backlog associated with product sales is converted into revenue within a relatively short period of time. Inventory for products is generally maintained in sufficient quantities to meet rapid delivery requirements of customers. Therefore, a period over period increase or decrease of backlog does not necessarily result in an improvement or a deterioration of our business. Our backlog includes only those products and projects for which we have obtained a purchase order or a signed contract with the customer and does not include products purchased and sold or services awarded and provided within the period. Subject to applicable contract terms, substantially all contracts in our backlog may be cancelled or modified by our customers. Historically, we have not been materially adversely affected by contract cancellations or modifications.

As a vertically-integrated business, approximately 20% of our aggregates sales volume was further processed and sold into either ready-mixed concrete or asphalt paving mix and approximately 55% of the asphalt paving mix we

sold was installed by our own paving crews during the three months ended April 2, 2016. The following table sets forth our backlog as of the indicated dates:

The dollar value of the construction services backlog includes the value of the aggregate and asphalt tons and ready-mixed concrete cubic yards in backlog that are expected to be sourced internally.

Financial Highlights

The principal factors in evaluating our financial condition and operating results for the three months ended April 2, 2016 as compared to the three months ended March 28, 2015, are:

Net revenue increased $32.9 million as a result of pricing and volume increases across our product lines, which includes volume contributions from our acquisitions.

Our operating loss decreased $29.5 million. The 2015 results included $28.3 million of costs associated with Summit Inc.’s IPO.

In March 2016, we issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.500% Senior Notes due 2022. The proceeds were used to help finance the acquisitions of Boxley (vertically integrated) and AMC, construction materials companies based in Roanoke, Virginia and the Carolinas, respectively.

Acquisitions

In addition to our organic growth, we continued to grow our business through acquisitions, completing the following transactions in 2016 and 2015:

On April 29, 2016, we acquired Sierra Ready Mix, LLC, a vertically integrated aggregates and ready mix concrete business located in Las Vegas, Nevada.

On March 18, 2016, we acquired Boxley, a vertically integrated materials-based company in Roanoke, Virginia.

On February 5, 2016, we acquired AMC, a construction materials company servicing North and South Carolina.

On December 11, 2015, we acquired Pelican, an asphalt terminal business in Texas.

On August 21, 2015, we acquired LeGrand, a vertically integrated materials-based company based in Utah and servicing the northern and central Utah, western Wyoming and southern Idaho markets.

On July 17, 2015, we completed the acquisition of the Davenport Assets. Our combined business has over two million short tons of cement capacity across our two plants in Hannibal, Missouri and Davenport, Iowa and eight cement distribution terminals along the Mississippi River from Minneapolis, Minnesota to New Orleans, Louisiana.

On June 1, 2015, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Lewis & Lewis, a vertically integrated, materials-based business in Wyoming.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of our results of operations is focused on the key financial measures we use to evaluate the performance of our business from both a consolidated and operating segment perspective. Operating income and margins are discussed in terms of changes in volume, pricing and mix of revenue source (i.e., type of product sales or service revenue). We focus on operating margin, which we define as operating income as a percentage of net revenue, as a key metric when assessing the performance of the business, as we believe that analyzing changes in costs in relation to changes in revenue provides more meaningful insight into the results of operations than examining costs in isolation.

Operating income (loss) reflects our profit (loss) from continuing operations after taking into consideration cost of revenue, general and administrative expenses, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion and transaction costs. Cost of revenue generally increases ratably with revenue, as labor, transportation costs and subcontractor costs are recorded in cost of revenue. General and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue vary throughout the year due to the seasonality of our business. As a result of our revenue growth occurring primarily through acquisitions, general and administrative costs and depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion have historically grown ratably with revenue. However, as volumes increase, we expect these costs, as a percentage of revenue, to decrease. Our transaction costs fluctuate with the number and size of acquisitions completed each year.

The table below includes revenue and operating loss by segment for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015.

Corporate results primarily consist of compensation and office expenses for employees included in the Company's headquarters. Approximately $28.3 million of costs associated with the IPO are included in the operating loss for the three months ended March 28, 2015.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

We evaluate our operating performance using metrics that we refer to as “Adjusted EBITDA” and “gross margin” which are not defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude accretion, loss on debt financings, IPO costs, loss from discontinued operations and certain non-cash and non-operating items. We define gross profit as operating income (loss) before general and administrative costs, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion and transaction costs and gross margin as gross profit as a percentage of net revenue.

We present Adjusted EBITDA and gross margin for the convenience of investment professionals who use such metrics in their analyses. The investment community often uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the operating performance of a company’s business and to provide a more consistent comparison of performance from period to period. We use Adjusted EBITDA and gross margin, among other metrics, to assess the operating performance of our individual segments and the consolidated company. Adjusted EBITDA and gross margin are used for certain items to provide a more consistent comparison of performance from period to period.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized; therefore, it may not be possible to compare such financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Gross margin, which we define as gross profit as a percentage of net revenue, improved 440 basis points in the three months ended April 2, 2016 primarily as a result of a shift in product mix and increased volumes. Our recent acquisitions have been primarily materials and products businesses, including the July 2015 acquisition of a cement plant in Davenport, Iowa. As a result, and as shown in the table below, gross revenue from cement was 13.4% of total revenue in the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to 6.1% in the three months ended March 28, 2015. Gross revenue from paving and related services, which generally has lower operating margins than the materials and products operations, was 15.6% of total gross revenue in the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to 22.6% in the three months ended March 28, 2015. Our business includes a significant amount of fixed costs and, as a result, volume growth across our lines of business resulted in an improvement in gross margin.

Net revenue increased $32.9 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016, of which $29.5 million was from increased sales of materials, $1.7 million was from increased sales of products, and $1.7 million was from increased service revenue. We had volume growth in our aggregates, cement and ready-mixed concrete lines of business, driven by the 2015 and 2016 acquisitions and organic growth. Excluding the cement segment, $4.2 million of the net revenue growth was organic and $8.5 million was contributed by acquisitions. Approximately $20.2 million of the revenue growth was attributable to our cement operations. The Davenport Assets acquired in July 2015 were immediately integrated with our existing cement operations such that it is impracticable to bifurcate the $20.2 million increase in cement revenue between organic and acquisition growth.

As a vertically-integrated company, we include intercompany sales from materials to products and from products to services when assessing the operating results of our business. We refer to revenue inclusive of intercompany sales as gross revenue. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Gross revenue by line of business was as follows:

Gross revenue for paving and related services decreased $8.2 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016, primarily in the Austin, Texas market. In Austin, Texas where the economy has been expanding, a new aggressive entrant has entered the market and has attracted a number of our employees, which have collectively resulted in a decrease in our paving and related services revenue. Detail of our volumes and average selling prices by product in the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015 were as follows:

Volumes are shown in tons for aggregates, cement and asphalt and in cubic yards for ready-mixed concrete.

(2)

Pricing is shown on a per ton basis for aggregates, cement and asphalt and on a per cubic yard basis for ready-mixed concrete.

Aggregates volumes were positively affected by favorable weather, particularly in the East segment, and 2015 and 2016 acquisitions. Aggregates pricing improved across our markets and would have been greater, absent the effect from the U.S./Canadian exchange rate. The U.S. dollar was stronger as compared to the Canadian dollar in the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 28, 2015. Absent the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, aggregates pricing would have increased 9.8% in the three months ended April 2, 2016.

Our cement volumes increased as a result of the July 2015 acquisition of the Davenport Assets and prices increased as a result of an improved market. Ready-mixed concrete volumes were positively affected by better weather in the East segment and in Utah, as compared to 2015 and pricing was positively affected by the higher cement input costs. Asphalt volumes decreased from the three months ended March 28, 2015 primarily in Austin related to a new aggressive entrant in that paving market. The increased asphalt pricing was largely due to a shift in product mix. Prior to eliminations, the net effect of these volume and pricing changes on gross revenue in the three months ended April 2, 2016 was approximately $31.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

Operating loss decreased $29.5 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016, and Adjusted EBITDA improved $9.8 million. For the three months ended April 2, 2016 operating margin improved from (33.7)% to (14.2)%, which was attributable to the following:


Operating margin—2015	(33.7)	%
IPO costs(1)	13.6	%
Other	5.9	%
Operating margin—2016	(14.2)	%

In conjunction with our March 2015 IPO, we recognized a $14.5 million charge on the modification of our share-based awards and a $13.8 million charge on the termination of a management fee agreement with our Sponsors. The management fee agreement was terminated on March 17, 2015.

(2)

The remaining improvement in operating margin primarily resulted from improved pricing across our lines of business, volume growth and a continued shift in total product mix toward materials and products.

Net revenue in the West segment decreased approximately 2.7% in the three months ended April 2, 2016, due primarily to a decline in volumes at our Austin, Texas operations, partially offset by $3.2 million of acquisition growth. Our Austin, Texas operations have been affected by a new aggressive competitor in the market. Gross revenue by product/service was as follows:


	Three months ended

Gross revenue for paving and related services decreased by $7.7 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016 primarily due to decreased revenue in Austin, Texas. The West segment’s percent changes in sales volumes and pricing in the three months ended April 2, 2016 from the three months ended March 28, 2015 were as follows:


	Percentage Change in
	Volume		Pricing
Aggregates	(3.8)	%	10.3	%
Ready-mixed concrete	6.1	%	5.0	%
Asphalt	(34.6)	%	5.7	%

Table of Contents

Aggregates volumes decreased, primarily in British Columbia, Canada, as a large commercial project in 2015 has been completed. Aggregate prices increased due primarily to product mix and an improving pricing environment across our markets and partially offset by the effect of foreign currency rates. Absent the currency effects, aggregate pricing would have increased 12.3%. The increase in ready-mixed concrete volumes primarily occurred in the Utah market and prices increased as a result of higher cement input prices. Asphalt volumes decreased, primarily in Austin, Texas, due to a new aggressive competitor entering that paving market. The increased asphalt pricing was largely due to a shift in product mix. Prior to eliminations of intercompany transactions, the net effect of volume and pricing changes on gross revenue in the three months ended April 2, 2016 was approximately $(1.2) million and $2.6 million, respectively.

The West segment’s operating loss increased $2.6 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016, and Adjusted EBITDA improved $1.2 million. The Adjusted EBITDA improvement was primarily driven by the inclusion of a full quarter of results from the 2015 acquisitions of Lewis & Lewis and LeGrand, partially offset by a decline in organic volumes. Operating margin fell in the three months ended April 2, 2016 from (0.2)% to (2.5)%, which was attributable to the following:


Operating margin — 2015	(0.2)	%
Gross margin(1)	3.1	%
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion(2)	(3.8)	%
Other	(1.6)	%
Operating margin — 2016	(2.5)	%

(1)

The gross margin improvement in the West segment was primarily due to a shift in product mix. The materials and products acquired with our 2015 acquisitions have boosted aggregate and ready mix revenue in the first quarter of 2016. As a result and as shown in the table above, gross revenue from aggregates and ready-mixed concrete was 27.2% and 50.4%, respectively, of total revenue in the three months ended April 2, 2016, compared to 24.8% and 43.8%, respectively, in the three months ended March 28, 2015. Gross revenue from paving and related services, which generally has lower operating margins than the materials and products operations, was 19.3% of total gross revenue in the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to 24.7% in the three months ended March 28, 2015.

(2)

Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, as a percentage of revenue, increased from 10.3% to 14.1% in the first quarter of 2016 reflective of the incremental depreciation, depletion and accretion associated with the 2015 acquisitions of Lewis & Lewis and LeGrand.

Total revenue	$	70,674	$	52,536	$	18,138

The $0.5 million decrease in paving and related services primarily was a result of our exit of grading operations in Kentucky in 2015. The East segment’s percent changes in sales volumes and pricing in the three months ended April 2, 2016 from the three months ended March 28, 2015 were as follows:


	Percentage Change in
	Volume		Pricing
Aggregates	47.4	%	3.3	%
Ready-mixed concrete	25.7	%	0.6	%
Asphalt	112.5	%	(14.7)	%

Aggregate volumes in the three months ended April 2, 2016 increased 47.4% as a result of good weather driving in growth of all of the segment’s markets and the AMC and Boxley acquisitions on February 5, 2016 and March 18, 2016, respectively. Aggregates pricing increased as a result of an improved market and shift in product mix. Ready-mixed concrete volumes improved in Kansas and Missouri and the increase in asphalt volumes was driven by the Kansas markets on relatively low volumes. Prior to eliminations of intercompany transactions, the net effect of volume and pricing changes on gross revenue in the three months ended April 2, 2016 was approximately $14.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

The East segment’s operating loss decreased $5.9 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016, and Adjusted EBITDA increased $6.7 million. Operating margin for the three months ended April 2, 2016 improved from (30.4)% to (12.6)%, which was attributable to the following:


Operating margin — 2015	(30.4)	%
Gross margin(1)	7.3	%
General and administrative costs(2)	5.0	%
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion(3)	5.5	%
Operating margin — 2016	(12.6)	%

(1)

The operating margin improvement in the East segment was partially due to a shift in product mix, increased organic volumes and price improvements across the segment’s markets. As shown in the table above, gross revenue from aggregates and ready-mixed concrete was 44.5% and 25.3%, respectively, of total revenue in the three months ended April 2, 2016, compared to 39.3% and 26.9%, respectively, in the three months ended March 28, 2015. Gross revenue from paving and related services, which generally has lower operating margins than the materials and products, was 16.7% of total revenue in the three months ended April 2, 2016, compared to 23.5% in the three months ended March 28, 2015. Our business includes a significant amount of fixed costs and, as a result, volume growth across the East segment’s lines of business resulted in an improvement in gross margin.

(2)

General and administrative costs as a percentage of net revenue decreased from 25.0% to 20.0% in the first quarter of 2016 as the East segment’s revenue growth was primarily organic resulting in general and administrative costs growing at a slower rate than revenue.

Net revenue in the Cement segment increased $20.2 million in three months ended April 2, 2016 primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Davenport Assets in July 2015. The Davenport Assets were immediately integrated with our existing cement operations such that it is impracticable to bifurcate the $20.2 million increase in cement revenue between organic and acquisition growth. However, a significant portion of the 146.7% increase in Cement revenue is estimated to be a result of the acquisition of the Davenport Assets in July 2015. Gross revenue by product/service was as follows:

*Revenue by product includes intercompany and intracompany sales transferred at market value. Revenue from waste processing is included in Other.

The Cement segment’s percent changes in sales volumes and pricing in the three months ended April 2, 2016 from the three months ended March 28, 2015 were as follows:

For the three months ended April 2, 2016, cement volumes and pricing increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Davenport Assets. With the acquisition of the Davenport Assets, we expanded our markets from Minnesota to Louisiana, which included higher-priced markets than St. Louis and Hannibal, Missouri. The net effect of volume and pricing changes on gross revenue in the three months ended April 2, 2016 was approximately $18.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

The Cement segment’s operating loss decreased $2.7 million in the three months ended April 2, 2016 and Adjusted EBITDA improved $4.4 million. Operating margin for the three months ended April 2, 2016 increased from (51.4)% to (12.4)%, primarily attributable to pricing improvements and increased production.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash on-hand, cash provided by operations and amounts available for borrowing under our credit facilities and capital-raising activities in the debt and capital markets. As of April 2, 2016, we had $92.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $214.1 million of working capital compared to cash and working capital of $186.4 million and $258.0 million, respectively, at January 2, 2016. Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities. There were no restricted cash balances as of April 2, 2016 or January 2, 2016. Our remaining borrowing capacity on our senior secured revolving credit facility was $210.6 million as of April 2, 2016, which is net of $24.4 million of outstanding letters of credit, and is fully available to us within the terms and covenant requirements of our credit agreement.

Table of Contents

Given the seasonality of our business, we typically experience significant fluctuations in working capital needs and balances throughout the year. Our working capital requirements generally increase during the first half of the year as we build up inventory and focus on repair and maintenance and other set-up costs for the upcoming season. Working capital levels then decrease as the construction season winds down and we enter the winter months, which is when we see significant inflows of cash from the collection of receivables. For example, net cash used for operating activities in the three months ended March 28, 2015 was $61.3 million, compared to full year 2015 net cash provided by operating activities of $98.2 million. Net cash used for operating activities in the three months ended April 2, 2016 was $42.0 million.

We believe we have access to sufficient financial resources from our liquidity sources to fund our business and operations, including contractual obligations, capital expenditures and debt service obligations, for at least the next twelve months. Our growth strategy contemplates future acquisitions for which we believe we have sufficient access to capital.

As market conditions warrant, we and our equity holders, including our Sponsors, their respective affiliates and members of our management, may from time to time seek to purchase our outstanding debt securities or loans, including Senior Notes and borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities, in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise. Subject to any applicable limitations contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness, any purchases made by us may be funded by the use of cash on our balance sheet or the incurrence of new secured or unsecured debt. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Any such purchases may be with respect to a substantial amount of a particular class or series of debt, with the attendant reduction in the trading liquidity of such class or series.

Indebtedness

Please refer to the notes to the consolidated interim financial statements for detailed information about our long-term debt, scheduled maturities of long-term debt and affirmative and negative covenants, including the maximum allowable consolidated first lien net leverage ratio. As of April 2, 2016, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

At April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, $1,545.1 million and $1,296.8 million, respectively, of total debt, without giving effect to original issuance discount, were outstanding under our respective debt agreements. Summit LLC has senior secured credit facilities that provide for term loans in an aggregate amount of $650.0 million and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $235.0 million (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). Summit LLC’s domestic wholly-owned subsidiary companies are named as guarantors of the Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Certain other partially-owned subsidiaries, and the wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Mainland, do not guarantee the Senior Notes or Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Summit LLC has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

On March 8, 2016, the Issuers issued $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.500% senior notes due April 15, 2022. The 2022 notes were issued at par and interest on the 2022 Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year commencing on October 15, 2016. The net proceeds of the 2022 Notes were used to fund the Boxley acquisition, replenish cash used for the AMC acquisition and the expenses incurred therewith.

In 2015, the Issuers issued $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes due July, 2023 under an indenture dated as of July 8, 2015 –$350.0 million on July 8, 2015 and $300.0 million on November 19, 2015. The July issuance of the 2023 notes was issued at par and the November add-on was issued at a discount. Interest on the 2023 notes is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year commencing on January 15, 2016.

In 2015, $625.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 10 ½% senior notes due January 31, 2020 ("2020 Notes") were redeemed – $288.2 million in April 2015 using proceeds from the IPO, $183.0 million in August 2015 and $153.8 million in December 2015.

On July 17, 2015, we refinanced our term loan under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “Refinancing”). The Refinancing, among other things: (i) reduced the applicable margins used to calculate interest rates for term loans under our senior secured credit facilities to 3.25% for LIBOR rate loans and 2.25% for base rate loans, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00% (and one 25 basis point step down upon Summit LLC achieving a certain first lien net leverage

ratio); (ii) increased term loans borrowed under our term loan facility from $422.0 million to $650.0 million; and (iii) created additional flexibility under the financial maintenance covenants, which are tested quarterly, by increasing the applicable maximum Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement that governs the senior secured credit facilities).

We used the net proceeds from the 2023 Notes and the Refinancing to finance the initial $370.0 million cash to purchase the Davenport Assets, to refinance our existing senior secured term loan facility, to redeem $183.0 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2020 Notes and to pay related fees and expenses.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our net cash used for or provided by operating, investing and financing activities and our capital expenditures in the three months ended April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015:

Operating activities

During the three months ended April 2, 2016, cash used in operating activities was $42.0 million primarily as a result of:

Net loss of $42.5 million, adjusted for $37.3 million of non-cash expenses, including $36.8 million of depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion.

Additional investment in inventory of $25.6 million consistent with the seasonality of our business for which our inventory levels typically increase in the first quarter in preparation for the upcoming season.

The timing of payments associated with accounts payable and accrued expenses withdrew $18.5 million of cash in conjunction with the build-up of inventory levels and incurrence of repairs and maintenance costs to ready the business for increased sales volumes in the summer and fall. Almost all of our products are consumed and services provided outdoors. In addition, we made $27.5 million of interest payments in the three months ended April 2, 2016.

$20.3 million of accounts receivable collections (billed and unbilled) as a result of the seasonality of our business. The majority of our sales occur in the spring, summer and fall and we typically incur an increase in accounts receivable (net billed and unbilled) during the second and third quarters of each year. This amount is typically converted to cash in the fourth and first quarters.

During the three months ended March 28, 2015, cash used in operating activities was $61.3 million primarily as a result of:

Net loss of $79.8 million, adjusted for $42.2 million of non-cash expenses, including $27.4 million of depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion and $15.2 million of share-based compensation expense.

$21.4 million utilized to increase inventory consistent with the seasonality of our business for which our inventory levels typically decrease in the fourth quarter in preparation for the winter slowdown and are then increased during the first half of the year in preparation for the increased sales volumes in the spring and summer.

Table of Contents

The timing of payments associated with accounts payable and accrued expenses utilized $30.5 million of cash in conjunction with the build-up of inventory levels and incurrence of repairs and maintenance costs to ready the business for increased sales volumes in the summer and fall. In addition, we made $39.2 million of interest payments in the three months ended March 28, 2015.

Offsetting these cash outlays were $30.3 million of net collections on accounts receivable in conjunction with the seasonality of our business.

Investing activities

During the three months ended April 2, 2016, cash used for investing activities was $282.2 million, of which $249.1 million related to the acquisitions of AMC and Boxley and $39.1 million was invested in capital expenditures, which was partially offset by $6.0 million of proceeds from asset sales.

During the three months ended March 28, 2015, cash used for investing activities was $15.2 million, of which $17.7 million was invested in capital expenditures, offset by $2.7 million of proceeds from asset sales.

Financing activities

During the three months ended April 2, 2016, cash provided by financing activities was $229.6 million, which was primarily composed of $246.3 million of proceeds from the 2022 Notes, net of fees. Summit made $12.0 million of payments on acquisition related liabilities, and $5.0 million in debt issuance costs.

During the three months ended March 28, 2015, cash provided by financing activities was $378.5 million, which was primarily composed of $460.0 million of proceeds from the IPO. Summit Inc. sold 25.6 million shares of Common Stock in the first quarter of 2015, receiving $424.0 million of proceeds net of underwriter and other issuance costs. Summit Inc. utilized $35.0 million of the proceeds for the purchase of the noncontrolling interest of Continental Cement. The remaining proceeds were contributed to Summit LLC. We also made $4.0 million of payments on acquisition related liabilities and paid $4.1 million for the amendment to the revolving credit facility, which was accounted for as a modification.

Cash paid for capital expenditures

We expended approximately $39.1 million in capital expenditures in the three months ended April 2, 2016 compared to $17.7 million in the three months ended March 28, 2015. The first quarter 2016 capital expenditures were primarily composed of plant upgrades and rolling stock.

We estimate that we will invest between $150.0 million and $170.0 million in capital expenditures in 2016, which we have funded or expect to fund through cash on hand, cash from operations, outside financing arrangements and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In 2016, we expect to invest in Texas, including approximately $23.7 million on new aggregate and ready-mix plants near Houston, $7.3 million on an aggregate plant upgrade near Austin and the completion of a new asphalt plant in San Antonio. We also plan to invest approximately $7.5 million on upgrades to our aggregate plants in Kentucky and South Carolina.

Commitments and contingencies

We are party to certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business activities. Accruals are recorded when the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. While the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects that the ultimate resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigation will not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity. We record legal fees as incurred.

Litigation and Claims—We are obligated under an indemnification agreement entered into with the sellers of Harper Contracting for the sellers’ ownership interests in a joint venture agreement. We have the rights to any benefits under the joint venture as well as the assumption of any obligations, but do not own equity interests in the joint venture. The joint venture has incurred significant losses on a highway project in Utah, which have resulted in requests for funding from the joint venture partners and ultimately from us. Through April 2, 2016, we have funded $8.8 million,

Table of Contents

$4.0 million in 2012 and $4.8 million in 2011. In 2012 and 2011, we recognized losses on the indemnification agreement of $8.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. As of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, an accrual of $4.3 million was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities as management’s best estimate of future funding obligations.

Environmental Remediation—Our operations are subject to and affected by federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, health and safety and other regulatory matters. These operations require environmental operating permits, which are subject to modification, renewal and revocation. We regularly monitor and review its operations, procedures and policies for compliance with these laws and regulations. Despite these compliance efforts, risk of environmental liability is inherent in the operation of our business, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses and there can be no assurance that environmental liabilities and noncompliance will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Other—During the ordinary course of business, there may be revisions to project costs and conditions that can give rise to change orders. Revisions can also result in claims we might make against the customer or a subcontractor to recover project variances that have not been satisfactorily addressed through change orders with the customer. As of April 2, 2016, there were no unapproved change orders or claims and, as of January 2, 2016, unapproved change orders and claims in accounts receivable totaled $1.2 million.

We are obligated under various firm purchase commitments for certain raw materials and services that are in the ordinary course of business. Management does not expect any significant changes in the market value of these goods and services during the commitment period that would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. The terms of the purchase commitments generally approximate one year.

Off-Balance sheet arrangements

As of April 2, 2016, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions that are entered into in the normal course of business. Our operations are highly dependent upon the interest rate-sensitive construction industry as well as the general economic environment. These marketplaces could experience lower levels of economic activity in an environment of rising interest rates or escalating costs. For a discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, please refer to the Annual Report. Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed from what we previously disclosed in our Annual Report.
