Construction Materials Ready-Mixed Concrete Average Sales Price measures ready-mixed concrete product revenue divided by cubic yards shipped, excluding immaterial raw-material sales from the calculation.

Vulcan Materials reported a Concrete average sales price of $188.82 per cubic yard in 2025.

Why it matters

Average sales price provides the realized revenue side of concrete unit economics and can be compared with cash cost per cubic yard to understand changes in unit profitability.

Investor caution

Vulcan excludes immaterial raw-material sales from the price calculation. Mix design, geography, cement intensity, delivery distance, and customer mix can all influence the average.

Part of the Construction Materials Unit Economics

Connect physical shipments, realized selling prices, cash costs, cash gross profit per unit, and segment gross profit across aggregates, asphalt, and ready-mixed concrete.

How the model fits together
  • Aggregates price, cost, volume, and unit profitability: Aggregates shipments provide the physical-volume base, freight-adjusted sales price isolates realized product pricing, and freight-adjusted cash cost per ton separates operating cost from price. Cash gross profit per ton connects those unit drivers to non-GAAP unit profitability, while segment gross profit retains the accounting earnings view.
  • Asphalt price, cost, volume, and unit profitability: Asphalt shipments, average sales price, cash cost per ton, and cash gross profit per ton connect downstream physical volume with realized pricing and cash unit economics. Liquid asphalt costs, internal aggregate sourcing, geography, and mix can move these measures independently, so they should be interpreted within Vulcan's definitions.
  • Ready-mixed concrete price, cost, volume, and unit profitability: Ready-mixed concrete shipments in cubic yards provide the unit denominator for average sales price, cash cost, and cash gross profit per cubic yard. Mix design, cement and aggregate inputs, delivery distance, and local project mix affect unit economics, while segment gross profit retains the accounting profitability view.
