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
Securities Litigation Reform Act.  Those statements provide our future expectations or forecasts and can be
identified by our use of words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe,"
"outlook," "target," "predict," "may," "will," "would," "could," "should," "seek," and other words or phrases of
similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance or the separation
of our businesses.  Forward-looking statements, by their nature, address matters that are uncertain and involve
risks because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.  As a
result, our actual results may differ materially from our expected results and from those expressed in our
forward-looking statements.  A more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our ability
to achieve the projected performance is included in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis” sections of our reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q filed with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date they are made.  We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements
beyond what is required under applicable securities law.
In addition, we will be referring to non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of SEC Regulation G.   A
reconciliation of the differences between these measures with the most directly comparable financial measures
calculated in accordance with GAAP are included within this presentation and available on the Investor
Relations
page
of
our
website
at
www.armstrong.com.
The guidance in this presentation is only effective as of the date given, October 29, 2015, and will not be
updated or affirmed unless and until we publicly announce updated or affirmed guidance. 
Safe Harbor Statement


3
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.
