U.S. Concrete, Inc. (USCR), a leading producer of construction materials in select major markets across the United States, today reported record results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. In the third quarter of 2016, we reported net income of $38.0 million compared to net income of $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2015. Results for the third quarter of 2016 include the recognition of a $21.8 million non-cash derivative related gain compared to a $26.9 million non-cash derivative related loss in the third quarter of 2015. During the 2016 third quarter, income from continuing operations was $38.1 million, as compared to $1.7 million in the 2015 third quarter. Total Adjusted EBITDA increased to $54.0 million in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $49.3 million in the prior year third quarter. Net income as a percentage of revenue was 11.6% in the third quarter of 2016, compared to 0.6% in the third quarter of 2015.
William J. Sandbrook, President and Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Concrete, stated, "We continue to successfully build strong leadership positions in our major metropolitan markets and strengthen our footprint through accretive acquisitions, which has led to the record results we are reporting this quarter. During the third quarter, consolidated revenue increased 11.3% to $328.6 million on both higher volume and selling prices in both ready-mixed concrete and aggregates. Our leadership position in our markets enabled us to achieve our 22nd straight quarter of year-over-year ready-mixed concrete price increases and a 6.6% increase in our year-over-year ready-mixed concrete volume this quarter."
Mr. Sandbrook continued, "We are very pleased that we continue to drive superior execution of our strategy and achieve high levels of operational excellence. Also, we produced these record results for the third quarter even with a significantly higher than normal level of rainfall in north Texas in August of 2016. Our underlying demand trends in New York, San Francisco and the Dallas / Fort Worth area continue to be positive, reflecting our balanced exposure to high growth markets as evidenced by year-over-year and sequential increases in our ready-mixed concrete backlog."
Mr. Sandbrook concluded, "In August, we acquired two well-established ready-mixed concrete businesses in New York which further complements our position in that market. Our acquisition pipeline continues to provide opportunities for selective, accretive growth in both our ready-mixed concrete and aggregate platforms, and we are very focused on the potential to enter into new major metropolitan areas."
THIRD QUARTER 2016 RESULTS COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2015 RESULTS
Consolidated revenue increased 11.3% to $328.6 million, compared to $295.1 million in the prior year third quarter. Revenue from the ready-mixed concrete segment increased $33.4 million, or 12.6%, compared to the prior year third quarter, driven by both volume and pricing. The Company's ready-mixed concrete sales volume was 2.2 million cubic yards, up 6.6% compared to the prior year third quarter. Ready-mixed concrete average sales price per cubic yard increased $7.60, or 6.1%, to $132.70 compared to $125.10 in the prior year third quarter. Ready-mixed concrete material spread increased 5.4% from $62.73 per cubic yard in the prior year third quarter to $66.10 for the third quarter of 2016. Ready-mixed concrete backlog at the end of the 2016 third quarter was approximately 7.7 million cubic yards, up 19.9% compared to the end of the prior year third quarter. Aggregate products sales volume was 1.6 million tons, up 5.1% compared to the prior year third quarter. Aggregate products average sales price improved 13.0% to $11.93 per ton in the 2016 third quarter.
During the 2016 third quarter, income from operations increased $2.8 million to $36.2 million, with an income from operations margin of 11.0% compared to 11.3% in the third quarter of 2015. On a non-GAAP basis, our consolidated Adjusted Gross Profit increased $6.6 million to $75.1 million in the 2016 third quarter, with an Adjusted Gross Margin of 22.9% compared to 23.2% in the prior year third quarter. Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the reconciliations and other information at the end of this press release.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $25.1 million in the 2016 third quarter compared to $23.2 million in the prior year third quarter. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A expenses were 7.6% in the 2016 third quarter, compared to 7.9% in the prior year third quarter, reflecting tight cost controls.
During the 2016 third quarter, income from continuing operations was $38.1 million, as compared to $1.7 million in the 2015 third quarter. Total Adjusted EBITDA of $54.0 million in the 2016 third quarter increased $4.7 million compared to the prior year third quarter. Ready-mixed concrete segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $5.4 million to $51.4 million in the 2016 third quarter primarily due to the higher volumes and selling prices. Aggregate products Adjusted EBITDA of $7.0 million in the 2016 third quarter increased $0.6 million compared to the prior year third quarter.
For the third quarter of 2016, net income was $38.0 million, or $2.34 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.6 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations was $19.3 million, or $1.19 per diluted share in the third quarter 2016, compared to $18.7 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, in the prior year third quarter, including the impact of a normalized tax rate of 40% in both periods. Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations in the third quarter of 2016 excludes a $21.8 million non-cash gain on derivatives resulting from fair value changes in the Company's warrants. This compares to a non-cash derivative loss of $26.9 million during the third quarter of 2015. The non-cash derivative gains and losses were primarily due to changes in the price of the Company's common stock during each period. Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to the reconciliation and other information at the end of this press release.
FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2016 RESULTS COMPARED TO FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2015 RESULTS
Consolidated revenue for the first nine months of 2016 increased 19.4% to $849.4 million, versus $711.1 million in the comparable prior year period driven by higher volume and pricing in both ready-mixed concrete and aggregates.

Aggregate products revenue increased $12.9 million, or 29.7%, for the first nine months of 2016 compared to the prior year period.
For the first nine months of 2016, net income was $24.5 million compared to net income of $0.8 million for the first nine months of 2015.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Total Adjusted EBITDA and Total Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define Total Adjusted EBITDA as our income (loss) from continuing operations plus income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and amortization, net interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, derivative (gain) loss, non-cash gain (loss) on revaluation of contingent consideration, non-cash stock compensation expense, acquisition-related professional fees, and officer severance. Acquisition-related professional fees consists of fees and expenses for accountants, lawyers and other professionals incurred during the negotiation and closing of strategic acquisitions and does not include fees or expenses associated with post-closing integration of strategic acquisitions. We define Total Adjusted EBITDA Margin as the amount determined by dividing Total Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue. We have included Total Adjusted EBITDA and Total Adjusted EBITDA Margin herein because they are widely used by investors for valuation and comparing our financial performance with the performance of other building material companies. We also use Total Adjusted EBITDA and Total Adjusted EBITDA Margin to monitor and compare the financial performance of our operations. Total Adjusted EBITDA does not give effect to the cash we must use to service our debt or pay our income taxes and thus does not reflect the funds actually available for capital expenditures. In addition, our presentation of Total Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures other companies report. Total Adjusted EBITDA and Total Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not intended to be used as an alternative to any measure of our performance in accordance with GAAP. The following table reconciles Total Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is income (loss) from continuing operations (in thousands).

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin
We define Adjusted Gross Profit as our income from operations, plus depreciation, depletion and amortization, selling, general and administrative expenses, loss (gain) on revaluation of contingent consideration, and (gain) loss on sale of assets. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as the amount determined by dividing Adjusted Gross Profit divided by total revenue. We have included Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin herein because they are widely used by investors for valuing and comparing our financial performance from period to period. We also use Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to monitor and compare the financial performance of our operations. The following table reconciles Adjusted Gross Profit to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is income from operations (in thousands).
