Summary of Our Compensation Considerations
Overall, the Company had another exceptional year, realizing record financial results, achieving world-class safety incident
rates and, making significant progress on our long-term strategic plan. This CD&A describes how our executive
compensation philosophy and the pay programs applicable to our NEOs in 2022 help to drive our strategy and
performance. The fundamental objectives of our executive compensation program are to motivate our executive team,
align pay with performance, attract and retain high-performing talent, and drive shareholder value. These objectives were
achieved in 2022 as our incentive programs paid out commensurate with our strong performance. The compensation
programs described below have been developed and are overseen by the Committee to promote the achievement of these
objectives and reflect the considerations described below.

Our 2022 Performance
Building on prior-year success and continuing to demonstrate the resiliency and strength of our business, 2022 proved to be
another year of outstanding financial and safety performance for Martin Marietta. We achieved our 11 consecutive year of
th
growth in products and services revenues, Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA. For continuing operations, we achieved
consolidated revenues of $6.2 billion, up 13.8% from $5.4 billion in the prior year. These record revenues, as well as our
record Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $1.6 billion in 2022, were driven by double-digit pricing gains across
all product lines, and full-year contributions from acquired operations which more than offset inflationary pressure from rising
input costs and divestiture impacts on an absolute basis. Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were $13.70,
and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share from continuing operations were $12.07. We also delivered world-class safety
performance. For the second consecutive year, our Total Injury Incident Rate (TIIR) surpassed the world class benchmark, while
our Total Lost Time Incident Rate (LTIR) achieved the world-class level for the sixth consecutive year. Additionally, we
completed two divestitures of non-core cement and ready-mixed concrete businesses in California, Colorado, and Texas,
which generated $650 million of proceeds to advance longstanding capital allocation priorities. Despite market volatility in
2022, we continue to maintain our industry-leading TSR position over 5- and 10-year periods.
