Insights

Financial Analyst

Owens Corning's reported net sales of $9.7 billion, which is a slight decrease from the previous year, may not immediately stand out as a cause for concern given the marginal change. However, the company's ability to expand adjusted EBIT margins to 19% and adjusted EBITDA margins to 24% indicates effective cost management and operational efficiency. The diluted EPS of $13.14 and adjusted diluted EPS of $14.42, along with a significant amount of free cash flow generated, reflect a strong profitability profile. This financial performance, particularly the return of $812 million to shareholders, underscores a commitment to shareholder value and could signal confidence from management in the company's cash-generating capabilities.

From a strategic standpoint, the acquisition of Masonite International Corporation and the review of strategic alternatives for the glass reinforcements business are moves that could streamline Owens Corning's focus on its core building and construction materials segment. These strategic decisions may have long-term implications for the company's market positioning and revenue streams. The updated EBIT margin guide for the Roofing segment indicates an optimistic outlook on profitability, likely factoring in operational improvements and market conditions.

Market Research Analyst

The reported increase in Roofing net sales by 10% and the impressive 29% EBIT margins highlight a robust demand environment, potentially driven by external factors such as increased storm activity. This performance suggests that Owens Corning has capitalized on market opportunities and has a strong competitive position in the roofing segment. However, the slight decrease in Insulation net sales and the 14% decrease in Composites net sales indicate varied performance across different segments. The decrease in Composites is particularly notable, as it reflects challenges such as lower demand and the impact of divestitures and acquisitions.

Investors should consider the diverse factors affecting each segment, including macroeconomic trends like residential repair and remodeling activity, U.S. housing starts and global commercial construction activity, which Owens Corning identifies as key economic factors for its business. The stability of the building and construction end markets, despite slow global economic growth and elevated interest rates, suggests resilience in the company's core markets. The outlook for mid-teens margins in the first quarter of 2024, despite expected net sales being slightly below the first quarter of 2023, indicates a continued focus on maintaining profitability.

Economist

Owens Corning's performance and strategic moves must be contextualized within the broader economic environment. The company's expectation of stable building and construction end markets, despite macroeconomic headwinds such as elevated interest rates and slow global growth, suggests a degree of insulation from broader economic volatility. The company's disciplined capital allocation and commitment to maintaining an investment-grade balance sheet speak to prudent financial management in uncertain times.

Investors should also note the company's effective tax rate on adjusted earnings, projected capital additions and depreciation and amortization costs as indicators of its financial planning and expected capital expenditures. The company's strategic review of its glass reinforcements business could be seen as an alignment with industry trends, where companies focus on core competencies and shed non-core assets to improve financial performance and operational focus.

2023 Segment Performance

Full-Year

• Roofing net sales increased 10% to $4.0 billion in 2023 compared to 2022, with strong year-over-year demand driven primarily by higher levels of storm activity, in addition to positive price and favorable mix. EBIT increased $343 million to $1.2 billion, with 29% EBIT margins and 31% EBITDA margins. The EBIT improvement was primarily due to positive price, favorable input costs and delivery, higher volumes, and favorable mix for the full year.
• Insulation net sales decreased slightly to $3.7 billion in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to lower sales volumes in both the North American residential insulation and technical and global insulation businesses, which were largely offset by positive price, favorable delivery costs, and mix. EBIT increased $7 million to $619 million, with 17% EBIT margins and 23% EBITDA margins, with positive price and favorable mix more than offsetting the impact of lower volumes, input cost inflation, higher manufacturing costs, and planned maintenance downtime and production investments.
• Composites net sales decreased 14% to $2.3 billion in 2023, primarily due to lower volumes and the net impact of divestitures and acquisitions. EBIT decreased $256 million to $242 million while delivering 11% EBIT margins and 18% EBITDA margins. The EBIT decline was driven by lower demand, primarily in glass reinforcements, the associated production downtime actions the company took throughout the year to balance inventories, and the net impact of divestitures and acquisitions. Input costs were inflationary for the year, largely offset by favorable delivery costs.

Fourth-Quarter

• Roofing net sales increased 16% to $928 million in fourth-quarter 2023 compared with fourth-quarter 2022, with continued strong demand tied to the mild weather extending the roofing season in many regions and strong components attachment rate, as well as favorable mix and positive price. EBIT increased $116 million to $284 million, expanding EBIT margins to 31% and EBITDA margins to 32%. The EBIT improvement was due to higher volumes, favorable input and delivery costs, as well as positive price, favorable mix, and favorable manufacturing costs.
• Insulation net sales decreased 3% to $931 million in fourth-quarter 2023 compared with fourth-quarter 2022. The change was primarily due to lower volumes in both the North American residential insulation and technical and global insulation businesses, partially offset by favorable price and mix. EBIT decreased $3 million to $150 million, with 16% EBIT margins and 22% EBITDA margins, as the year-over-year impact of lower volumes was largely offset by positive price realization.
• Composites net sales decreased 13% to $514 million in fourth-quarter 2023 compared with fourth-quarter 2022, primarily due to lower volumes and price declines resulting from lower spot prices in glass reinforcements. EBIT decreased $38 million to $26 million, with EBIT margins of 5% and EBITDA margins of 13%. In addition to price, the impact of lower demand in glass reinforcements and the actions the company took to balance inventories with corresponding production downtime contributed to the year-over-year EBIT declines, which were partially offset by favorable manufacturing performance.

First-Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Outlook

• The key economic factors that impact the company’s business are residential repair and remodeling activity, U.S. housing starts, global commercial construction activity, and global industrial production.
• Macroeconomic trends outside of the U.S. and elevated interest rates continue to result in slow global economic growth, but the company expects most of its building and construction end markets to be relatively stable in the near term.
• For the first-quarter 2024, the company expects overall performance to result in net sales slightly below the first quarter of 2023, while generating mid-teens margins.

Current 2024 financial outlook is presented below.

General Corporate Expenses	$240 million to $250 million
Interest Expense	$70 million to $80 million
Effective Tax Rate on Adjusted Earnings	24% to 26%
Capital Additions	Approximately $550 million
Depreciation and Amortization	Approximately $550 million

The above outlook excludes the impact of any acquisitions or divestitures not yet completed.

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, and free cash flow. 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 7 for adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS, and Table 8 for free cash flow.

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 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.
