2022 Segment Performance

Full-Year

• Composites net sales increased 14% to $2.7 billion in 2022 compared with 2021, primarily due to higher selling prices and the favorable impact of customer mix partially offset by lower volumes and ongoing currency headwinds. EBIT increased $122 million to $498 million, with 19% EBIT margins, on higher selling prices, which offset input cost inflation and increased transportation costs as well as lower volumes and other manufacturing costs.
• Insulation net sales increased 17% to $3.7 billion compared with 2021, as a result of higher selling prices and favorable mix more than offsetting ongoing currency headwinds and slightly lower volumes. EBIT increased $166 million to $612 million, with 16% EBIT margins, on higher selling prices, which offset energy, material, and transportation inflation, production downtime, and other manufacturing costs.
• Roofing net sales increased 14% to $3.7 billion compared with 2021, primarily due to higher selling prices partially offset by lower volumes. EBIT increased $78 million to $831 million, with 23% EBIT margins, mainly due to higher selling prices, which offset cost inflation, primarily asphalt, and other manufacturing costs.

Fourth-Quarter

• Composites net sales decreased 3% to $589 million in fourth-quarter 2022 compared with fourth-quarter 2021, primarily due to lower volumes and unfavorable currency translation partially offset by higher selling prices. EBIT decreased $34 million to $64 million, with 11% EBIT margins, on ongoing input cost inflation, as well as lower volumes and the impact of production downtime and other manufacturing costs, which were partially offset by higher selling prices.
• Insulation net sales increased 11% to $956 million in fourth-quarter 2022 compared with fourth-quarter 2021, as a result of higher selling prices and a full quarter of sales from Natural Polymers partially offset by lower volumes and unfavorable currency translation. EBIT increased $25 million to $153 million, with 16% EBIT margins, on higher selling prices, which offset ongoing energy, material, and transportation inflation as well as the impact related to other manufacturing costs and production downtime.
• Roofing net sales increased 12% to $799 million in fourth-quarter 2022 compared with fourth-quarter 2021, primarily due to higher selling prices partially offset by lower volumes. EBIT increased $17 million to $168 million, with 21% EBIT margins, primarily due to higher selling prices, partially offset by cost inflation, primarily asphalt, as well as the impact of other manufacturing costs and lower volumes.

First-Quarter and Full-Year 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.
• In the near term, the company expects many of its end markets to be more challenging as the impacts of ongoing inflation, higher interest rates, and continued geopolitical uncertainties result in a decelerating global economic environment.
• For first-quarter 2023, the company expects overall performance to result in a moderate decline of net sales, versus the comparable quarter in the prior year, with EBIT margins of low to mid-teens.

Current 2023 financial outlook is presented below.

General Corporate Expenses	$195 million to $205 million
Interest Expense	$95 million to $105 million
Effective Tax Rate on Adjusted Earnings	24% to 26%
Cash Tax Rate on Adjusted Earnings	26% to 28%
Capital Additions	Approximately $520 million
Depreciation and Amortization	$520 million to $530 million

The inability to predict the amount and timing of items impacting comparability makes a detailed reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted earnings, impracticable. Please see the end of this release for more information.

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.
