Financial Summary
Vulcan Materials produces, distributes, and sells construction material and industrial chemicals. Products include crusted stone, sand, gravel and limestone. For the six months ended 6/30/01, sales rose 13% to $1.33 billion. Net income fell 14% to $85.3 million. Revenues reflect the Tarmac acquisition, improved pricing and volumes and the chloralkali joint venture. Net income was offset by lower gross margins, higher natural gas and interest expenses and Tarmac facility upgrades.
