Owens Corning Reports Second-Quarter 2015 Results
Company Delivers Strong Second-Quarter Earnings Growth
on Significant Progress in Composites and Roofing
• | Composites delivered 8th consecutive quarter of EBIT improvement |
• | Roofing grew EBIT on stronger volumes and improved margins |
• | Insulation delivered 16th consecutive quarter of EBIT growth |
• | Company expects full-year adjusted EBIT between $460 million and $500 million |
TOLEDO, Ohio - July 22, 2015 - Owens Corning (NYSE: OC) today reported consolidated net sales of $1.41 billion in the second quarter of 2015, up from $1.36 billion in 2014.
Second-quarter 2015 adjusted earnings were $93 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, up from the adjusted earnings of $45 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Net earnings in the second quarter of 2015 were $91 million, or $0.77 per share, compared to second-quarter 2014 net earnings of $21 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. (See Table 3 for a discussion and reconciliation of these items.)
“Owens Corning is pleased with its second-quarter performance as all three businesses made substantial contributions to earnings,” said Mike Thaman, chairman and chief executive officer. “Composites had an outstanding quarter driven by continued strong commercial and operational execution. Roofing experienced strong shipments and improving margins throughout the quarter. Insulation continues to make progress with growth expected to accelerate in the second half on the recent improvement in U.S. housing starts.”
Consolidated Second-Quarter 2015 Results
• | Owens Corning continued to perform at a high level of safety with a Recordable Incident Rate (RIR) of 0.53 for the six months ending June 30, 2015. The second quarter demonstrated improvement versus the first quarter. |
• | Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (adjusted EBIT) in the second quarter of 2015 were $156 million, up from $96 million in 2014. Reported EBIT for the second quarter was $156 million, compared with $73 million during the same period in 2014. (See Table 2.) |
• | During the second quarter, Owens Corning repurchased 0.7 million shares of the company’s common stock for $28 million. As of June 30, 2015, 6.6 million shares remained available for repurchase under the company’s current authorization. |
• | The company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per common share. The dividend will be payable on August 4, 2015 to shareholders of record as of July 20, 2015. |
Outlook
The company continues to expect to benefit in 2015 from sustained improvement in the U.S. housing market and moderate global growth.
In Composites, the company now expects a full-year EBIT improvement of about $60 million based on current volume and pricing strength, including the impact of $25 million in currency headwinds.
In Roofing, the company continues to expect that the full-year U.S. shingle market will be in line with last year. Based on the decline in first-half shipments, the market is expected to grow mid-single digits in the second half.
Insulation should continue to benefit from growth in U.S. residential new construction, improved pricing and operating leverage.
The company estimates an effective tax rate of 30 percent to 32 percent, and a cash tax rate of 10 percent to 12 percent on adjusted pre-tax earnings, due to the company’s $2.2 billion U.S. tax net operating loss carryforward.
The company expects general corporate expenses to be at the bottom of the range of $120 million to $130 million in 2015, and capital expenditures of approximately $380 million. Interest expenses are expected to be about $110 million.
For the full year 2015, the company expects adjusted EBIT between $460 million and $500 million, with most of the variability within this range driven by the Roofing business.
