Enterprise Strategy Highlights

• In the third quarter, the safety performance resulted in a recordable incident rate (RIR) of 0.66.
• Owens Corning continues to invest in accelerating new product and process innovation to support customers and generate additional growth. In the third quarter, 8 new or refreshed products were launched bringing the total through nine months to 25 launches.
• In September, Owens Corning joined the European Alliance to Save Energy to partner in its mission to advance energy efficiency and contribute to a more sustainable Europe. The membership will strengthen the company’s partnership with key stakeholders in the region and support Owens Corning’s mission to build a more sustainable future through material innovation.
• In October, the company announced that the Roofing team with its partners, has proven at scale a pilot to reclaim 100% of materials from recycled waste shingles. The team is also conducting studies with the National Center for Asphalt Technology to leverage recycled shingles in asphalt paving applications. Together, these initiatives support the company’s goal of recycling two million tons of shingles annually in the U.S. by 2030.

Cash Returned to Shareholders

• During the third quarter, the company returned $187 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. The company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $47 million and repurchased 1.0 million shares of common stock for $140 million. As of the end of the quarter, 10.8 million shares were available for repurchase under the current authorization.

“I am thrilled to partner with Brian as CFO as we execute the enterprise strategy to grow and strengthen the company. We remain committed to maintaining our investment-grade balance sheet, returning cash to shareholders, and investing in organic growth and acquisitions to advance our strategy," said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Todd Fister. “Year-to-date through the third quarter, we generated $1 billion of operating cash flow and $631 million of free cash flow, while returning more than $500 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.”

Other Notable Highlights

• Owens Corning recently earned placement in the Top 10 of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens list for the sixth consecutive year. The list recognizes outstanding environmental, social, and governance performance and transparency among the largest, publicly traded companies in the U.S. The company placed first within its industry category.

Segment Performance

• Roofing net sales increased 8% to $1.1 billion in third-quarter 2023 compared with third-quarter 2022, with strong demand in several markets driven primarily by higher levels of storm activity, in addition to favorable mix and positive price. EBIT increased $114 million to $343 million, expanding EBIT margins to 32% and EBITDA margins to 33%. The EBIT improvement was primarily due to positive price/cost as well as higher volumes.
• Insulation net sales decreased 5% to $913 million in third-quarter 2023 compared with third-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 positive price realization. EBIT decreased $23 million to $150 million, with EBIT margins of 16% and EBITDA margins of 22%, on lower volumes and planned maintenance downtime and production investments, partially offset by positive price realization.
• Composites net sales decreased 11% to $567 million in third-quarter 2023 compared with third-quarter 2022, primarily due to lower volumes and price declines resulting from lower spot prices in glass reinforcements. EBIT decreased $46 million to $80 million while delivering 14% EBIT margins and 22% EBITDA margins. With slowing demand for glass reinforcements, the company continued to take actions to balance inventories with corresponding production downtime.

Fourth-Quarter 2023 Outlook

• The key economic factors that impact the company’s businesses are residential repair and remodeling activity, U.S. housing starts, global commercial construction activity, and global industrial production.
• Weaker macroeconomic trends outside of the U.S. and increasing interest rates continue to result in slower global economic growth, but the company expects most of its building and construction end markets to be relatively stable in the near term.
• For fourth-quarter 2023, the company expects overall performance to result in net sales slightly below the fourth quarter of 2022, while generating mid-teen EBIT margins.

Current 2023 financial outlook is presented below:

General Corporate Expenses	$215 million to $225 million
Interest Expense	$70 million to $80 million
Effective Tax Rate on Adjusted Earnings	24% to 26%
Cash Tax Rate on Adjusted Earnings	24% to 26%(1)
Capital Additions	Approximately $520 million
Depreciation and Amortization	$510 million to $520 million(2)

The above outlook excludes the impact of any acquisitions or divestitures not yet completed.
(1) Previously 26% to 28%.
(2) Previously $520 million to $530 million.

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 3 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.
