Construction
Overview
Construction 
National GDP
GDP rose 5.4% over the past year through the
second quarter of 2018, which was the highest
year-over-year rate in the examined period. Since
2008, construction has averaged 3.6% of national
GDP, and it accounted for 3.3% of GDP over 1Q
2018. Construction has steadily recovered since
the decline caused by the 2008 financial crisis,
experiencing growth consistent with that of national
GDP. Fluctuations in construction GDP have now
stabilized, with most quarterly growth rates lying
in the plus or minus 0-2 percent range since 2012.
Year-over-year construction GDP has increased
2.1%, and plans for increased infrastructure
spending, inventory constraints in the existing
home market, and improved corporate profitability
should allow for continued industry growth.

The Federal Reserve believes a healthy economy typically has an unemployment rate between 4.5% and 6.0%. The
current level of 4.0% falls slightly below this range, indicative of a tight labor market. The unemployment rate fell to 3.8%
in May which was the lowest rate of the ten year period.
The unemployment rate in the construction industry is typically more volatile because it is a cyclical and seasonal
industry. The major contributing factor to the industryā€™s seasonality is the weather. Production of materials and
projects generally decrease during the colder, winter months. Construction unemployment is currently at 4.7%,
comparable to 4.5% at the same time last year. A lack of skilled laborers has become an industry-wide issue and
has contributed to wage growth and increased costs for builders. Lower unemployment rates suggest an increase of
activity within the industry.

The value of construction put-in-place is the total value of construction work done in the U.S. for a particular period. The
U.S. Census Bureau tracks this data and reports the total monthly. This value includes, but is not limited to, the building
materials costs, labor costs, profit, costs of engineering, interest, and taxes.
Year-over-year put-in-place construction has increased by 5.5% for residential and by 6.2% for nonresidential.
Nonresidential construction grew by 2.3% quarter-over-quarter through June 2018. The increase in non-residential
construction comes in the midst of delays for the Presidentā€™s $1.5 trillion worth of infrastructure projects due to financing
issues. Progress in these plans would create significant public work projects and could continue to accelerate
nonresidential growth. Growth in residential construction has been choppier in comparison to nonresidential construction
but still continued to increase quarter-over-quarter.

Mercer Capitalā€™s Value Focus: Construction  Building Materials Second Quarter 2018
State and local governments are typically in charge of their construction projects, but they rely on federal funding
to complete many projects. Despite optimism regarding a potential $1.5 trillion infrastructure plan from the Trump
administration to close the U.S. infrastructure gap, no policy has currently been implemented and the infrastructure
package took a back seat to tax reform and other initiatives. According to industry executives, federal funds usually
take 18 to 24 months to flow through to projects, and companies are still experiencing benefits from the 2015 FAST
Act. However, overall infrastructure activity has been sluggish the past couple of years despite the pervasive need for
infrastructure investment. State and local initiatives have appeared perhaps due to diminished expectations for a grand
federal plan and total government consumption and investment has increased in recent periods.
Building materials benefited from both healthy residential and nonresidential construction demand over the past year.
Low home inventories and continuing improvement in employment and wages have increased demand for new home
starts and subdivision development. Home prices continued to rise and rising interest rates may present headwinds
due to increasing mortgage rates. In addition to increased consumer and business confidence, reduced corporate tax
rates from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act have boosted prospects for nonresidential construction.
The construction industryā€™s strong performance and sustained economic expansion has been a boon for American
aggregate producers. U.S. cement consumption has continued to increase from its low point in 2010. Cement
consumption increased 2.8% in 2017 to 96.8 million metric tons, which is still 25% below the all-time peak in 2005. The
U.S. was the third-largest cement producer in the world in 2017 behind China and India.
Despite a favorable macroeconomic environment and healthy revenues, the building materials industry has experienced
increased cost pressures. Higher energy costs (oil, coal, petcoke) have dragged on the industryā€™s earnings. A tight
labor market has also increased the competition for employees in the building materials industry and driven up wage
costs. Labor shortages are affecting contractorsā€™ capacity for work and may be limiting potential levels of activity. Since
the prices for most large contracts are negotiated up front, the unexpected rise in costs has compressed margins.
However, companies will have an opportunity to pass on higher prices as they negotiate new contracts. Increased
demand will also boost product prices as the industry nears domestic production capacity. Concerns over increased
building materials prices may dampen enthusiasm for publicly funded work as the cement producer price index hit a
ten-year high in June 2018 and recently imposed tariffs on Chinese imports will increase the cost of imported materials.

Building materials are a crucial input to construction projects. Without funding, however, construction projects cannot
be completed. Much of this funding comes from public resources, so the industry is typically concerned with the level
of government spending on construction activity. Government consumption expenditures and gross investments
reached high levels during the recession to boost the economy and declined significantly in the years following. After
stagnating for much of 2016 and 2017, GCI has grown consistently for the past three quarters and reached the highest
levels since 2011. The growth in GCI comes despite the absence of the touted infrastructure investment bill under
the new administration.

Trade-Weighted Index and
Yield on 10-Year Treasury
The Trade-Weighted Index measures the relative
strength of the U.S. dollar in comparison to foreign
currencies, putting an emphasized weight on
the most common trade partners and largest
economies. When the dollar is strong, imports
become cheaper and exports become more
expensive. The dollar is near its strongest level in
the last 10 years, which increases the cost for other
countries to purchase U.S. building materials and
decreases sales volume. The TWI has increased
throughout 2018 after a decline in 2017. Divergence
in monetary policy between the U.S. and the
international community has boosted the dollarā€™s
appreciation as the Fed has increased rates and
begun its process of shrinking its balance sheet.
The yield on 10-Year Treasury Bonds acts as a
proxy for how expensive it is to finance construction
projects. An increase in yields raises the cost
of investment, but it can also signify increasing
optimism about future economic growth, which leads
to more spending in the construction industry. The
10-year yield reached its highest level since 2011 as
rates have increased steadily.

Industrial Production
Index and Value of Utilities
Construction
The Industrial Production Index is an indicator of
economic activity that measures real production
output of the manufacturing, mining, and utilities
industries. It acts as a barometer of demand for
industrial products and manufacturing activity.
Building materials such as sand and gravel are
important inputs of industrial production. After
oscillating for a couple of years, IPI steadily
increased for most of 2017 and 2018. In April
2018, IPI reached its highest level of the examined
period.
Cement and ready-mix concrete are used in
most construction projects involving the utilities
subsector such as transportation, energy, gas,
water, and sewage. There will always be a need
for such infrastructure, so building materials
companies can rely on this revenue stream even
though the growth rate of new projects fluctuates.
The value of utilities construction has increased
10.2% over the past year.

The yield on 10-Year Treasury Bonds can indirectly affect the road contracting industry. As discussed previously, higher
interest rates make construction projects more expensive to undertake, but they may also signify increased optimism
about economic growth. As seen in the chart below, the 10-year yield has experienced a downward trend for much of
the past ten years as the Fed attempted to aid the economic recovery by encouraging an increase in investment. The
10-year yield has increased by 72 basis points over the past year due to a shift in the Fedā€™s stance on interest rates and
expectations of stronger economic growth and higher inflation.
One interest rate measure to watch is the spread between 10-year and 2-year treasury yields. A spread approaching
zero or even crossing into negative territory has historically preceded a recession and potentially signals that the Fed
has tightened rates too much. The spread declined to 0.38% in June 2018 which is the lowest spread in the past ten
years as the growth in 2-year yields, which the Fed has more influence over, has outpaced the growth in 10-year yields.

Corporate profit is essential for companies not only to survive but also to grow and expand. When corporate profit
increases, companies are more willing and able to open new branches and divisions. These additions lead to more
commercial construction. As seen in the chart below, corporate profit has increased over the past year to the highest
level of the past ten years. In addition to favorable macroeconomic trends discussed in other sections, the U.S.Tax Cuts
and Jobs Act of 2017 lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The dip in the fourth quarter of 2017 is partially
due to one-time deferred tax asset write-downs incurred by companies owing to the new tax rate. A lower tax burden
going forward should encourage increased investment.

The National Association of Home Builders conducts two separate surveys, the Housing Market Index (HMI) and the
Remodeling Market Index (RMI), to measure confidence in the home building industry. Respondents rate their activity
on a scale from 1-100 with 50 being average. The HMI is produced monthly and asks respondents to rate market
conditions both at present and looking forward six months. The monthly index has remained above 50 since July 2014
and reached a ten year high of 74 in December 2017. The RMI is produced quarterly and asks respondents to rate their
work volume as either higher or lower than the previous quarter. The monthly index has fluctuated between 50 and 60
since the second quarter of 2013.

Building permits and housing starts are two
important indicators for the home building industry.
Both reflect demand, consumer confidence, and
the feasibility of financing construction projects.
Building permits can be issued and then shelved
by builders; therefore, housing starts are a better
focused measure of current activity within the
industry. After declining nearly 75% during from
Q1 2006 to Q1 2009 as the housing bubble
unwound, housing permits and starts have steadily
recovered but are unlikely to reach pre-recession
highs. After strong growth in the first quarter of
2018 and low existing inventory, housing starts
had a disappointing second quarter as single
family starts stagnated year-over-year and private
housing starts declined 4.2%.

Since 2008, construction has averaged 3.6% of national GDP, and it accounted for 3.3% of GDP over 1Q 2018. Construction has steadily recovered since the decline caused by the 2008 financial crisis, experiencing growth consistent with that of national GDP. Fluctuations in construction GDP have now stabilized, with most quarterly growth rates lying in the plus or minus 0-2 percent range since 2012. Year-over-year construction GDP has increased 2.1%, and plans for increased infrastructure spending, inventory constraints in the existing home market, and improved corporate profitability should allow for continued industry growth.

Ā© 2018 Mercer Capital // www.mercercapital.com 2 Mercer Capitalā€™s Value Focus: Construction Building Materials Second Quarter 2018 The Federal Reserve believes a healthy economy typically has an unemployment rate between 4.5% and 6.0%. The current level of 4.0% falls slightly below this range, indicative of a tight labor market. The unemployment rate fell to 3.8% in May which was the lowest rate of the ten year period. The unemployment rate in the construction industry is typically more volatile because it is a cyclical and seasonal industry. The major contributing factor to the industryā€™s seasonality is the weather. Production of materials and projects generally decrease during the colder, winter months. Construction unemployment is currently at 4.7%, comparable to 4.5% at the same time last year. A lack of skilled laborers has become an industry-wide issue and has contributed to wage growth and increased costs for builders. Lower unemployment rates suggest an increase of activity within the industry. 0.0% 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0% 25.0% 30.0% Q 2-2008 Q 2-2008 Q 2-2010 Q 2-2011 Q 2-2012 Q 2-2013 Q 2-2014 Q 2-2015 Q 2-2016 Q 2-2017 Q 2-2018 National Construction Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Construction Overview Construction National Unemployment Unemployment Rate

The U.S. Census Bureau tracks this data and reports the total monthly. This value includes, but is not limited to, the building materials costs, labor costs, profit, costs of engineering, interest, and taxes. Year-over-year put-in-place construction has increased by 5.5% for residential and by 6.2% for nonresidential. Nonresidential construction grew by 2.3% quarter-over-quarter through June 2018. The increase in non-residential construction comes in the midst of delays for the Presidentā€™s $1.5 trillion worth of infrastructure projects due to financing issues. Progress in these plans would create significant public work projects and could continue to accelerate nonresidential growth. Growth in residential construction has been choppier in comparison to nonresidential construction but still continued to increase quarter-over-quarter.

  • 5. Ā© 2018 Mercer Capital // www.mercercapital.com 4 Mercer Capitalā€™s Value Focus: Construction Building Materials Second Quarter 2018 State and local governments are typically in charge of their construction projects, but they rely on federal funding to complete many projects. Despite optimism regarding a potential $1.5 trillion infrastructure plan from the Trump administration to close the U.S. infrastructure gap, no policy has currently been implemented and the infrastructure package took a back seat to tax reform and other initiatives. According to industry executives, federal funds usually take 18 to 24 months to flow through to projects, and companies are still experiencing benefits from the 2015 FAST Act. However, overall infrastructure activity has been sluggish the past couple of years despite the pervasive need for infrastructure investment. State and local initiatives have appeared perhaps due to diminished expectations for a grand federal plan and total government consumption and investment has increased in recent periods. Building materials benefited from both healthy residential and nonresidential construction demand over the past year. Low home inventories and continuing improvement in employment and wages have increased demand for new home starts and subdivision development. Home prices continued to rise and rising interest rates may present headwinds due to increasing mortgage rates. In addition to increased consumer and business confidence, reduced corporate tax rates from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act have boosted prospects for nonresidential construction. The construction industryā€™s strong performance and sustained economic expansion has been a boon for American aggregate producers. U.S. cement consumption has continued to increase from its low point in 2010. Cement consumption increased 2.8% in 2017 to 96.8 million metric tons, which is still 25% below the all-time peak in 2005. The U.S. was the third-largest cement producer in the world in 2017 behind China and India. Despite a favorable macroeconomic environment and healthy revenues, the building materials industry has experienced increased cost pressures. Higher energy costs (oil, coal, petcoke) have dragged on the industryā€™s earnings. A tight labor market has also increased the competition for employees in the building materials industry and driven up wage costs. Labor shortages are affecting contractorsā€™ capacity for work and may be limiting potential levels of activity. Since the prices for most large contracts are negotiated up front, the unexpected rise in costs has compressed margins. However, companies will have an opportunity to pass on higher prices as they negotiate new contracts. Increased demand will also boost product prices as the industry nears domestic production capacity. Concerns over increased building materials prices may dampen enthusiasm for publicly funded work as the cement producer price index hit a ten-year high in June 2018 and recently imposed tariffs on Chinese imports will increase the cost of imported materials.

  • 6. Ā© 2018 Mercer Capital // www.mercercapital.com 5 Mercer Capitalā€™s Value Focus: Construction Building Materials Second Quarter 2018 Building materials are a crucial input to construction projects. Without funding, however, construction projects cannot be completed. Much of this funding comes from public resources, so the industry is typically concerned with the level of government spending on construction activity. Government consumption expenditures and gross investments reached high levels during the recession to boost the economy and declined significantly in the years following. After stagnating for much of 2016 and 2017, GCI has grown consistently for the past three quarters and reached the highest levels since 2011. The growth in GCI comes despite the absence of the touted infrastructure investment bill under the new administration.

When the dollar is strong, imports become cheaper and exports become more expensive. The dollar is near its strongest level in the last 10 years, which increases the cost for other countries to purchase U.S. building materials and decreases sales volume. The TWI has increased throughout 2018 after a decline in 2017. Divergence in monetary policy between the U.S. and the international community has boosted the dollarā€™s appreciation as the Fed has increased rates and begun its process of shrinking its balance sheet. The yield on 10-Year Treasury Bonds acts as a proxy for how expensive it is to finance construction projects. An increase in yields raises the cost of investment, but it can also signify increasing optimism about future economic growth, which leads to more spending in the construction industry. The 10-year yield reached its highest level since 2011 as rates have increased steadily.

It acts as a barometer of demand for industrial products and manufacturing activity. Building materials such as sand and gravel are important inputs of industrial production. After oscillating for a couple of years, IPI steadily increased for most of 2017 and 2018. In April 2018, IPI reached its highest level of the examined period. Cement and ready-mix concrete are used in most construction projects involving the utilities subsector such as transportation, energy, gas, water, and sewage. There will always be a need for such infrastructure, so building materials companies can rely on this revenue stream even though the growth rate of new projects fluctuates.

  • 9. Ā© 2018 Mercer Capital // www.mercercapital.com 8 Mercer Capitalā€™s Value Focus: Construction Building Materials Second Quarter 2018 The yield on 10-Year Treasury Bonds can indirectly affect the road contracting industry. As discussed previously, higher interest rates make construction projects more expensive to undertake, but they may also signify increased optimism about economic growth. As seen in the chart below, the 10-year yield has experienced a downward trend for much of the past ten years as the Fed attempted to aid the economic recovery by encouraging an increase in investment. The 10-year yield has increased by 72 basis points over the past year due to a shift in the Fedā€™s stance on interest rates and expectations of stronger economic growth and higher inflation. One interest rate measure to watch is the spread between 10-year and 2-year treasury yields. A spread approaching zero or even crossing into negative territory has historically preceded a recession and potentially signals that the Fed has tightened rates too much. The spread declined to 0.38% in June 2018 which is the lowest spread in the past ten years as the growth in 2-year yields, which the Fed has more influence over, has outpaced the growth in 10-year yields. 0.0% 1.0% 2.0% 3.0% 4.0% 5.0% Q 2-2008 Q 2-2008 Q 2-2010 Q 2-2011 Q 2-2012 Q 2-2013 Q 2-2014 Q 2-2015 Q 2-2016 Q 2-2017 Q 2-2018 Source: St. Louis Fed | Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (US) Sector Round-up Roads, Bridges Highways Yield on 10-Year Treasury Yield on 10-Year Treasury Period Change Q-o-Q 7 BPS Y-o-Y 72 BPS

When corporate profit increases, companies are more willing and able to open new branches and divisions. These additions lead to more commercial construction. As seen in the chart below, corporate profit has increased over the past year to the highest level of the past ten years. In addition to favorable macroeconomic trends discussed in other sections, the U.S.Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The dip in the fourth quarter of 2017 is partially due to one-time deferred tax asset write-downs incurred by companies owing to the new tax rate. A lower tax burden going forward should encourage increased investment. $0 $500 $1,000 $1,500 $2,000 $2,500 Q 2-2008 Q 2-2009 Q 2-2010 Q 2-2011 Q 2-2012 Q 2-2013 Q 2-2014 Q 2-2015 Q 2-2016 Q 2-2017 Q 2-2018 $Billions Source: St. Louis Federal Reserve Sector Round-up Nonresidential Construction Corporate Profit Corporate Profit Period % Change Q-o-Q 3.3% Y-o-Y 6.4%

Both reflect demand, consumer confidence, and the feasibility of financing construction projects. Building permits can be issued and then shelved by builders; therefore, housing starts are a better focused measure of current activity within the industry. After declining nearly 75% during from Q1 2006 to Q1 2009 as the housing bubble unwound, housing permits and starts have steadily recovered but are unlikely to reach pre-recession highs. After strong growth in the first quarter of 2018 and low existing inventory, housing starts had a disappointing second quarter as single family starts stagnated year-over-year and private housing starts declined 4.2%. 0.0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8 2.0 2.2 2.4 MillionsofUnits Private Housing Starts Single Family Starts Private Building Permits Single Family Building Permits Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Seasonally Adjusted Data Note: Permits at a given date are generally a leading indicator of future starts.
