Our disclosures in this presentation, including without limitation, those relating to future financial results
guidance and the 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.armstrongceilings.com.
The guidance in this presentation is only effective as of the date given, May 9, 2016, 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 2016 is used for all currency
translations in 2016 and prior years. Guidance is
presented using the 2016 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 2016 guidance, and
2016 and 2015 results, which are based on the expected
full year historical tax rate.
Results for the ceilings business on slides 6 and 7 have
been adjusted to reflect the allocation of corporate costs
to the business in preparation of the separation. 
Corporate costs of $17M were allocated to the ceilings
business in 2016; 70% to SG&A, 30% to COGS and
held constant in 2015 for comparability purposes

Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange
of $8 million, net sales increased 1% as volume
declines in EMEA and the Pacific Rim were offset by
mid single digit volume growth in the Americas
and continued improvement in average unit value. 
Driven by unfavorable country mix in EMEA, volume
strength at the low end of the product portfolio in the
Americas and the one-time impact from the release of
merchandising funds associated with a large retail
customer
Strong volume growth in the Americas was offset by
lower volumes in EMEA and the Pacific Rim
Driven by lower input costs and productivity
Prudent SG&A spending and prior cost reduction
actions in international regions aided margins
WAVE delivered a record earnings quarter
