LIVONIA, Mich. (October 24, 2017) - Masco Corporation (NYSE: MAS), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of branded home improvement and building products, reported net sales and operating profit growth in the third quarter of 2017.
“We are pleased with our performance and the progress we made towards our growth initiatives during the quarter, especially in light of the impact from the severe hurricanes experienced in Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico,” said Masco President and CEO, Keith Allman. “Growth was once again led by our Plumbing Products and Decorative Architectural Products segments, and we continued to invest in our strong plumbing brands and our pro paint initiative. Additionally, we returned approximately $210 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in the quarter.”
2017 Third Quarter Commentary

• | On a reported basis, compared to third quarter 2016:

• | Net sales increased 3 percent to $1.9 billion; in local currency net sales increased 2 percent

• | In local currency, North American sales increased 2 percent and international sales increased 4 percent

• | Gross margins improved 90 basis points to 33.6 percent from 32.7 percent

• | Operating margins improved 90 basis points to 15.2 percent from 14.3 percent

• | Net income was $0.46 per common share compared to $0.40 per common share

• | Compared to third quarter 2016, results for key financial measures, as adjusted for certain items (see Exhibit A) and with a normalized tax rate of 34 percent (36 percent in 2016), were as follows:

• | Gross margins improved to 33.6 percent compared to 32.9 percent

• | Operating margins improved to 15.3 percent compared to 14.7 percent

• | Net income was $0.50 per common share, compared to $0.41 per common share

• | Liquidity at the end of the third quarter was approximately $1.2 billion

• | 4.0 million shares were repurchased in the third quarter

2017 Third Quarter Operating Segment Highlights

• | Plumbing Products’ net sales increased 6 percent (4 percent excluding the impact of foreign currency translation), driven by North American and international growth

• | Decorative Architectural Products’ net sales increased 3 percent with growth from Behr’s pro initiative and Liberty’s builders’ hardware business

• | Cabinetry Products’ net sales decreased 4 percent due to decreased sales to U.S. and U.K. builders

• | Windows and Other Specialty Products’ net sales were flat due to the divestiture of Arrow Fastener. Excluding the impact of this divestiture, net sales increased 9 percent, driven by strong sales of windows in North America

Outlook
“The demand drivers underlying our industry continue to be strong and very supportive of long-term growth,” said Allman. “The negative effects of the hurricanes are expected to be short-term for our business, and we are confident in our plans to leverage our strong brands, industry leading positions, and our Masco Operating System to capitalize on these robust, long-term demand drivers. Considering the impact of the severe weather experienced recently, we are updating our 2017 earnings per share target to a range of $1.93 to $1.97. Looking forward, we are committed to achieving our 2019 earnings per share target of $2.50 that we announced at our Investor Day in May.”
