2017 First Quarter Operating Segment Highlights

Plumbing Products’ net sales increased 6 percent (8 percent excluding the impact of foreign currency translation), driven by growth in North America and internationally
Decorative Architectural Products’ net sales increased 2 percent with growth from builders’ hardware and Behr’s pro initiative
Cabinetry Products’ net sales decreased 2 percent due to the previously announced exit of lower margin business in the builder channel
Windows and Other Specialty Products’ net sales were flat. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, net sales increased 3 percent, driven by sales of windows in North America and internationally

Outlook

“The building products industry fundamentals remain favorable and are expected to support long-term growth. Our outlook for demand in both repair and remodel and new home construction continues to be positive,” said Allman. “We will leverage these favorable industry fundamentals along with our strong brand portfolio, our industry-leading positions and our Masco Operating

System to achieve our long-term growth expectations. As such, we are now updating our 2017 earnings per share target to the range of $1.90 to $2.00 per common share, exceeding our $1.80 target that we communicated at our last Investor Day in 2015. This updated target includes an estimated $0.06 benefit from a reduction in our expected tax rate. We look forward to updating you on our long-term goals at our upcoming Investor Day on May 16 in New York City.”
