Insights

Financial Analyst

Owens Corning's 2024 performance reflects a company executing a masterful strategic transformation while delivering exceptional financial results. The 13% revenue growth to $11.0 billion demonstrates strong organic growth complemented by strategic acquisitions, notably the successful integration of Masonite contributing $1.4 billion in revenue.

The company's operational excellence is evident in its margin profile, with an adjusted EBIT margin of 19% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 25%. These margins are particularly impressive given the challenging macroeconomic environment and reflect the company's pricing power and operational efficiency. The consistency in maintaining mid-teens EBIT margins for 18 consecutive quarters showcases the resilience of their business model and effective cost management.

Three strategic moves are reshaping Owens Corning's future:

• The pending sale of the glass reinforcements business streamlines operations and provides additional capital for growth initiatives
• The new laminate shingle facility in the southeastern U.S. adds 6 million squares of annual capacity, positioning the company to capture growing demand in a key market
• The 15% dividend increase, bringing the quarterly dividend to $0.69 per share, signals management's confidence in sustainable cash flow generation

The company's free cash flow generation of $1.2 billion and commitment to return over 50% to shareholders demonstrates strong capital allocation discipline. The $638 million returned to shareholders in 2024 through dividends and share repurchases represents a balanced approach to capital return while maintaining investment in growth initiatives.

Looking ahead to 2025, while facing some market headwinds in residential construction and European markets, the company's strategic positioning in building products and focus on North American and European markets should provide resilience. The expected mid-20s revenue growth in Q1 2025 and projected low-20s EBITDA margins indicate the structural improvements in the business model are sustainable even in mixed market conditions.

Enterprise Strategy Highlights

• Owens Corning maintained a high level of safety performance in 2024 with a recordable incident rate (RIR) of 0.48. This excludes the Doors segment, which will be integrated into company safety reporting in 2025.
• Over the last year, Owens Corning executed three major, transformative initiatives to reshape the company into a focused leader in building products for North America and Europe. These initiatives include the acquisition of Masonite International Corporation, conducting a strategic review of the company’s global glass reinforcements business, and entering into an agreement to sell the company’s building materials business in China and Korea.
• On February 14, Owens Corning announced the company entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of its glass reinforcements business, concluding the review of strategic alternatives for the business announced in 2024. This transaction strengthens Owens Corning as a market leader in building products. The sale is expected to close in 2025. Proceeds from the sale will fund organic growth initiatives and cash returns to shareholders.
• The glass reinforcements business is part of the company’s Composites segment, which includes other businesses that Owens Corning will retain. As a result of the definitive agreement to sell glass reinforcements, the company’s vertically integrated glass nonwovens business and its structural lumber business will operate within the Roofing segment. Owens Corning’s two glass melting plants in the U.S. that provide glass fibers to make nonwovens products will operate and be integrated within its Insulation segment.
• On February 11, Owens Corning announced an investment to expand the manufacturing capacity of its high-performing laminate shingle portfolio, including its premium Duration^® series shingles. This organic growth investment will add a new laminate shingle facility to be built in the southeastern United States. The plant will produce approximately six million squares of capacity per year to support strong demand for Owens Corning shingles and is expected to come online in 2027.

Cash Returned to Shareholders

• During 2024, the company returned $638 million to shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases. The company paid cash dividends of $208 million and repurchased 2.6 million shares of common stock for $430 million. At the end of the year, 6.4 million shares were available for repurchase under the current authorization.
• In December 2024, Owens Corning announced its Board of Directors declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.69 per common share, a 15% increase compared with the associated prior quarterly dividends. The company has more than doubled its quarterly dividend over the last three years.

“Our outstanding results in 2024 demonstrate the earnings power of Owens Corning. Through our best-in-class execution, we grew revenue, expanded margins, and maintained a strong balance sheet while making strategic investments to strengthen our market-leading positions. We generated $1.2 billion of free cash flow during the year, with over 50% returned to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends,” said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Todd Fister. “Going forward, we will continue to be disciplined operators and capital allocators, using our healthy balance sheet to invest in our existing businesses and return significant cash to shareholders.”

Free cash flow of $1.2 billion increased over $50 million compared to 2023, through strong earnings and disciplined capital allocation.

First-Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Outlook

• The key economic factors that impact the company’s business are residential repair activity, residential remodeling activity, U.S. housing starts, and commercial construction activity.
• Owens Corning expects near-term demand for nondiscretionary repair activity to remain stable as the year begins while residential new construction and remodeling is expected to remain soft. Commercial construction activity in North America is expected to start the year slower than prior year. The result of incremental tariffs which have not yet been implemented may also have a near-term impact. In Europe, the company expects market conditions to remain weak in the near-term in residential and commercial markets, similar to the second half 2024.
• As Owens Corning invests in capacity to grow core products and markets, the company anticipates a short-term step up in capital expenditures due to investments in previously announced projects. Owens Corning remains committed to its capital allocation strategy, generating strong free cash flow, and returning at least 50% to shareholders over time.
• For the first-quarter 2025, the company expects to continue delivering strong results, reflecting structural changes to the company and its cost structure, even in a mixed market environment. It expects revenue from continuing operations to grow mid-20 percent, compared to prior year’s revenue of $2.0 billion adjusted for glass reinforcements being moved to discontinued operations. The enterprise is expected to generate EBITDA margin from continuing operations of low-20 percent.

Current 2025 financial outlook is presented below.

General Corporate Expenses	$240 million to $260 million(1)
Interest Expense	$250 million to $260 million
Effective Tax Rate on Adjusted Earnings	24% to 26%
Capital Additions	Approximately $800 million(2)
Depreciation and Amortization	Approximately $650 million(3)

(1)		Includes current estimates for expenses related to the glass reinforcements business that will not be included in discontinued operations.
(2)		Includes capital additions for the glass reinforcements business.
(3)		Excludes depreciation and amortization for glass reinforcements due to discontinued operations reporting beginning in Q1 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Owens Corning uses non-GAAP measures in its earnings press release that are intended to supplement investors' understanding of the company's financial information. These non-GAAP measures include EBIT, adjusted EBIT, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings, adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to Owens Corning common stockholders ("adjusted EPS"), adjusted pre-tax earnings, free cash flow, free cash flow conversion and net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA. When used to report historical financial information, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are included in the financial tables of this press release. Specifically, see Table 2 for EBIT, adjusted EBIT, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA, Table 3 for adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS, and Table 8 for free cash flow and free cash flow conversion (annually).

For purposes of internal review of Owens Corning's year-over-year operational performance, management excludes from net earnings attributable to Owens Corning certain items it believes are not representative of ongoing operations. The non-GAAP financial measures resulting from these adjustments (including adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings, adjusted EPS, and adjusted pre-tax earnings) are used internally by Owens Corning for various purposes, including reporting results of operations to the Board of Directors, analysis of performance, and related employee compensation measures. Management believes that these adjustments result in a measure that provides a useful representation of its operational performance; however, the adjusted measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings attributable to Owens Corning as prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure used by investors, financial analysts and management to help evaluate the company's ability to generate cash to pursue opportunities that enhance shareholder value. The company defines free cash flow as net cash flow provided by operating activities, less cash paid for property, plant and equipment. Free cash flow is not a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures due to the company's mandatory debt service requirements. Free cash flow conversion is a non-GAAP liquidity measure used to measure the company’s efficiency in turning profits into free cash flow from its core operations. The company defines free cash flow conversion as free cash flow divided by adjusted earnings. Free cash flow and free cash flow conversion is used internally by the company for various purposes, including reporting results of operations to the Board of Directors of the company and analysis of performance.

Management believes that these measures provide a useful representation of our operational performance and liquidity; however, the measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net cash flow provided by operating activities or net earnings attributable to Owens Corning as prepared in accordance with GAAP.

When the company provides forward-looking expectations for non-GAAP measures, the most comparable GAAP measures and a reconciliation between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures are generally not available without unreasonable effort due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from the non-GAAP measures in future periods. The variability in timing and amount of adjusting items could have significant and unpredictable effect on our future GAAP results.
