TOLEDO, Ohio – October 26, 2022 - Owens Corning (NYSE: OC), a global building and construction materials leader, today reported third-quarter 2022 results.

•Reported Net Sales Increase of 14% to $2.5 Billion

•Expanded Adjusted EBIT Margins to 19% and Adjusted EBITDA Margins to 24%

•Delivered Diluted EPS of $4.84 and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $3.57

•Generated Operating Cash Flow of $461 Million and Free Cash Flow of $367 Million

•Returned $239 Million of Free Cash Flow to Shareholders through Dividends and Share Repurchases

“Owens Corning sustained its strong performance and delivered another outstanding quarter despite shifting market conditions. The resilience of our global teams and disciplined execution of our enterprise strategy continue to drive our success and create value for our customers and our shareholders," said Chair and Chief Executive Officer Brian Chambers. "We are well positioned to deliver on our financial commitments and invest in our businesses to strengthen our company for the future."

•Owens Corning continues to invest in accelerating new product and process innovation to support customers and generate additional growth. In the third quarter, it launched 15 new or refreshed products.

•On July 1, the company completed the sale of its European dry-use chopped strand (DUCS) manufacturing assets located in Chambéry, France. This transaction resulted in a divestiture of approximately $100 million of annual sales. Consistent with its strategy to accelerate growth and generate higher and more sustainable margins, the company will convert the other two DUCS facilities to produce glass fiber supporting building and construction applications.

•On August 1, Owens Corning announced that it completed the acquisition of Natural Polymers, LLC, an innovative manufacturer of spray polyurethane foam insulation for building and construction applications. This acquisition advances the company's strategy to strengthen its core building and construction products and expand its addressable markets into higher-growth segments. Natural Polymers expects to deliver annual sales of approximately $100 million in 2022.

•On September 1, the company completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in an existing joint venture based in the U.S., that produces high-quality wet-formed fiberglass mat for roofing applications. The acquisition advances the Composites strategy to focus on high-value material solutions and expands Owens Corning’s capacity to produce nonwoven mat.

•During the first nine months of 2022, the company returned $639 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. In the third quarter, the company paid dividends of $33 million and repurchased 2.5 million shares of common stock for $206 million. As of the end of the quarter, 7.4 million shares were available for repurchase under the current authorization.

•In September, Owens Corning announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per common share, a 35% increase compared with the same period in 2021.

“Our strong and consistent cash generation, combined with our solid financial position, provide us the flexibility to continue to execute on our enterprise strategy. Through the first nine months of 2022, we generated $1.1 billion of operating cash flow and $779 million of free cash flow enabling us to deploy capital in support of our strategy, while returning more than $600 million of cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Ken Parks. “We remain committed to maintaining our investment-grade balance sheet and to returning at least 50% of free cash flow to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.”

•Owens Corning sustained a high level of safety performance in the third quarter with a recordable incident rate (RIR) of 0.64.

•As previously reported, Owens Corning made the decision to exit Russia through a transfer or sale of its facilities and halted all future investments in Russia. The company has entered into an agreement to sell its Russian operations, subject to regulatory approvals. 2021 net sales in Russia were approximately $100 million.

•Composites net sales increased 8% to $638 million in third-quarter 2022 compared with third-quarter 2021, primarily due to higher selling prices and the favorable impact of customer mix partially offset by lower volumes. EBIT increased $25 million to $126 million, with 20% EBIT margins, on higher selling prices and favorable mix, which offset input cost inflation and increased transportation costs as well as lower volumes.

•Insulation net sales increased 18% to $965 million in third-quarter 2022 compared with third-quarter 2021, as a result of higher selling prices and the acquisition of Natural Polymers. EBIT increased $49 million to $173 million, with 18% EBIT margins, on higher selling prices which offset accelerating energy, material and transportation inflation.

•Roofing net sales increased 15% to $1.0 billion in third-quarter 2022 compared with third-quarter 2021, primarily due to higher selling prices partially offset by slightly lower volumes. EBIT increased $17 million to $229 million, with 23% EBIT margins, primarily due to higher selling prices which offset cost inflation, primarily asphalt.

•The key economic factors that impact the company's businesses are residential repair and remodeling activity, U.S. housing starts, global commercial construction activity, and global industrial production.

•In the near term, the company expects many of its end markets to moderate with the changing macro-economic environment. The company continues to closely manage the ongoing impacts of inflation and supply chain disruptions as well as the regional impacts of COVID-19 on the business.

•For fourth-quarter 2022, the company expects overall performance to result in growth of net sales and adjusted EBIT for the quarter, versus the comparable quarter in the prior year.

The above outlook includes the impact of all completed acquisitions and divestitures.

(1) Previously $115 million to $125 million.

(2) Previously 25% to 27%.

(3) Previously approximately $520 million.

Owens Corning uses non-GAAP measures in its earnings press release that are intended to supplement investors' understanding of the company's financial information. These non-GAAP measures include EBIT, adjusted EBIT, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings, adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to Owens Corning common stockholders ("adjusted EPS"), adjusted pre-tax earnings, and free cash flow. When used to report historical financial information, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are included in the financial tables of this press release. Specifically, see Table 2 for EBIT, adjusted EBIT, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA, Table 3 for adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS, and Table 8 for free cash flow.

For purposes of internal review of Owens Corning's year-over-year operational performance, management excludes from net earnings attributable to Owens Corning certain items it believes are not representative of ongoing operations. The non-GAAP financial measures resulting from these adjustments (including adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS, and adjusted pre-tax earnings) are used internally by Owens Corning for various purposes, including reporting results of operations to the Board of Directors, analysis of performance, and related employee compensation measures. Management believes that these adjustments result in a measure that provides a useful representation of its operational performance; however, the adjusted measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings attributable to Owens Corning as prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure used by investors, financial analysts and management to help evaluate the company's ability to generate cash to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value. Free cash flow is not a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures due to the company's mandatory debt service requirements. Free cash flow is used internally by the company for various purposes, including reporting results of operations to the Board of Directors of the company and analysis of performance.

Management believes that these measures provide a useful representation of our operational performance and liquidity; however, the measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash flow provided by operating activities or net earnings attributable to Owens Corning as prepared in accordance with GAAP.

When the company provides forward-looking expectations for non-GAAP measures, the most comparable GAAP measures and a reconciliation between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures are generally not available without unreasonable effort due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from the non-GAAP measures in future periods. The variability in timing and amount of adjusting items could have significant and unpredictable effect on our future GAAP results.

This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors and actual results may differ materially from any results projected in the statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, without limitation: industry and economic conditions including, but not limited to, supply chain disruptions, recessionary conditions, inflationary pressures and interest rate volatility, that affect the market and operating conditions of our customers, suppliers or lenders; supply constraints and increases in the cost of energy, particularly natural gas, as a result of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine; availability and cost of raw materials; levels of residential and commercial or industrial construction activity; levels of global industrial production; competitive and pricing factors; demand for our products; relationships with key customers and customer concentration in certain areas; issues related to acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures or expansions, including our proposed exit from operations in Russia; climate change, weather conditions and storm activity; regional impact of COVID-19 on our operations, customers and suppliers, as well as related actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response, each of which is uncertain, frequently changing and difficult to predict; legislation and related regulations or interpretations, in the United States or elsewhere; domestic and international economic and political conditions, policies or other governmental actions, as well as war and civil disturbance (such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine); changes to tariff, trade or investment policies or laws; uninsured losses, including those from natural disasters, catastrophes, pandemics, theft or sabotage; environmental, product-related or other legal and regulatory liabilities, proceedings or actions; research and development activities and intellectual property protection; issues involving implementation and protection of information technology systems; our level of indebtedness; our liquidity and the availability and cost of credit; our ability to achieve expected synergies, cost reductions and/or productivity improvements; the level of fixed costs required to run our business; foreign exchange and commodity price fluctuations; levels of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets; price volatility in certain wind energy markets in the U.S.; loss of key employees and labor disputes or shortages; and defined benefit plan funding obligations; and factors detailed from time to time in the company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The information in this news release speaks as of October 26, 2022, and is subject to change. The company does not undertake any duty to update or revise forward-looking statements except as required by federal securities laws.
