Our disclosures in this presentation, including without limitation, those relating to future financial results
guidance and the possible separation of our flooring business from our building products business, and in our
other public documents and comments contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private

"seek,"
and
other
words

projected
performance
is
included

Safe Harbor Statement

All
figures
throughout
the
presentation
are
in
$
millions
unless
otherwise
noted.
Figures
may
not
add
due
to
rounding. 
When reporting our financial results within this presentation, we make several adjustments.
Management uses the non-GAAP measures below in managing the business and believes the
adjustments provide meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods.  As reported
results will be footnoted throughout the presentation. 
Basis of Presentation Explanation
We report in comparable dollars to remove the
effects of currency translation on the P&L.  The
budgeted exchange rate for 2015 is used for all
currency translations in 2015 and prior years.
Guidance is presented using the 2015 budgeted
exchange rate for the year.  
We remove the impact of discrete expenses and
income.  Examples include plant closures,
restructuring actions, separation costs and other
large
unusual
items.
We
also
remove
the
non-
cash
impact
of
our
U.S.
Pension
Plan. 
Taxes for normalized Net Income and EPS are
calculated using a constant 39% for 2015
guidance, and 2015 and 2014 results, which are
based on the expected full year historical tax
rate.

On a comparable foreign exchange basis sales were
flat over a strong base period (sales were up over 5%
in the first quarter of 2014). Price and mix both
improved offsetting volume declines in the Americas
and in EMEA markets  
Softer year-on-year activity in regions of the U.S.
impacted by weather and Canada, along with a weaker
U.S. commercial market accounted for the majority of
the volume weakness in the Americas 
Reflects impact of prior price increases and continued
strong mix performance 
Driven by lower volumes in the Americas and EMEA 
Strong productivity in the Americas and favorable input
costs more than offset increased expenses associated
with completion of construction for the Russia plant
Driven by inflation and higher SG&A to support the
Russia plant


Sales declined as volume, price and mix were all
unfavorable compared to the prior year
On a comparable foreign exchange basis sales in the
Pacific Rim increased slightly as softness in China was
more than offset by strength in India
Driven by unfavorable price and mix performance in
residential flooring in the Americas
Softer volumes in the Americas in U.S. commercial and
residential
Higher SG&A expense to support go-to-market
initiatives

Sales declined despite improvements in price and mix
Volume declines were caused by market share shifts
as a result of prior year price and mix optimization
actions and inventory adjustments at home centers
Driven primarily by mix improvement 
Lower volumes driven by share loss at opening price
points
Driven by unfavorable production expense
Wood First Quarter Results
Despite improved price and mix performance, sales and margins decline due to
lower volumes
