DALLAS, Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United States Lime & Minerals, Inc. (NASDAQ: USLM) today reported fourth quarter and full year 2025 results: The Company's revenues in the fourth quarter 2025 were $87.9 million, compared to $80.1 million in the fourth quarter 2024, an increase of $7.9 million, or 9.8%. The increase in revenues in the fourth quarter 2025, compared to the fourth quarter 2024, resulted primarily from increased sales volumes, principally due to increased demand from the Company's construction and steel customers, partially offset by decreased demand from the Company's oil and gas services and roof shingle customers.
For the full year 2025, the Company's revenues were $372.7 million, compared to $317.7 million in the full year 2024, an increase of $55.0 million, or 17.3%. The increase in revenues in the full year 2025, compared to the full year 2024, resulted from increases in sales volumes and average selling prices of the Company's lime and limestone products. The increase in sales volumes for the full year 2025 was principally due to increased demand from the Company's construction, environmental, and steel customers, partially offset by decreased demand from the Company's oil and gas services customers.
The Company's gross profit was $42.2 million in the fourth quarter 2025, compared to $35.4 million in the fourth quarter 2024, an increase of $6.7 million, or 19.0%. The Company's gross profit in the full year 2025 was $182.4 million, compared to $144.0 million in the full year 2024, an increase of $38.4 million, or 26.7%. The increases in gross profit in the fourth quarter and the full year 2025, compared to the comparable 2024 periods, resulted primarily from the increases in revenues discussed above.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $6.2 million in the fourth quarter 2025, compared to $4.4 million in the fourth quarter 2024, an increase of $1.8 million, or 41.6%. SG&A expenses were $24.5 million in the full year 2025, compared to $19.1 million in the full year 2024, an increase of $5.5 million, or 28.8%. The increases in SG&A expenses in the fourth quarter and the full year 2025, compared to the comparable 2024 periods, were primarily due to increased personnel expenses.
Other (income) expense, net was $3.6 million and $13.2 million income in the fourth quarter and the full year 2025, respectively, compared to $3.1 million and $11.5 million income in the fourth quarter and the full year 2024, respectively, reflecting increases of $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The increases in other (income) expense, net for the fourth quarter and the full year 2025, compared to the comparable 2024 periods, were primarily due to interest earned on higher average balances of cash and cash equivalents.
The Company reported net income of $30.5 million ($1.06 per share diluted) and $134.3 million ($4.67 per share diluted) in the fourth quarter and the full year 2025, respectively, compared to $27.0 million ($0.94 per share diluted) and $108.8 million ($3.79 per share diluted) in the fourth quarter and the full year 2024, respectively, reflecting increases of $3.6 million, or 13.2%, and $25.4 million, or 23.4%, respectively.
In January 2026, much of North America experienced an expansive major winter storm which interrupted commerce in the areas the Company serves. The Company's plants did not sustain any damage from the storm, but product shipments were interrupted for a period of time. The impact, if any, on the Company's first quarter 2026 financial performance has not been determined.
"We are pleased with the Company's financial performance in 2025. Overall demand was up, compared to 2024, led by our construction customers, including the construction of some large data centers in the regions that we serve," said Timothy W. Byrne, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We see general delays in customer shipments due to winter weather interruptions as well as continuing weakness in demand from our roof shingle customers in the first quarter 2026," Mr. Byrne added.
