Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Business and Basis of Presentation | NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (“AWI”) is a Pennsylvania corporation incorporated in 1891. When we refer to “AWI,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” in these notes, we are referring to AWI and its subsidiaries. Except as disclosed in this note, the accounting policies used in preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q are the same as those used in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. These statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes that are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature have been included to provide a fair statement of the results for the reporting periods presented. Operating results for the second quarter and first six months of 2025 and 2024 included in this report are unaudited. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of annual earnings, primarily due to the different level of sales in each quarter of the year and the possibility of changes in general economic conditions. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The statements include management estimates and judgments, where appropriate. Management utilizes estimates to record many items, including certain asset values, contingent purchase price liabilities, allowances for bad debts, inventory obsolescence and lower of cost and net realizable value charges, warranty reserves, workers’ compensation, general liability and environmental claims, and income taxes. When preparing an estimate, management determines the amount based upon the consideration of relevant information and may confer with outside parties, including external counsel. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the 2025 presentation, most notably disaggregated expenditures for our operating segments related to our December 31, 2024 adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” See Note 2 for additional details. Acquisitions and Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates In December 2024, we acquired all the issued and outstanding stock of A. Zahner Company (“Zahner”), based in Kansas City, Missouri. Zahner is a designer and manufacturer of exterior metal architectural solutions. The operations, assets and liabilities of Zahner are included in our Architectural Specialties segment. In April 2024, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in 3form, LLC (“3form”) based in Salt Lake City, Utah, from Hunter Douglas, Inc. 3form is a designer and manufacturer of architectural resin and glass products used for specialty walls, partitions and ceilings. The operations, assets and liabilities of 3form are included in our Architectural Specialties segment. In January 2024, we entered into a strategic partnership and equity investment in Overcast Innovations LLC (“Overcast”) with McKinstry Essention, LLC whereby we contributed $5.5 million in exchange for a 19.5% ownership interest in Overcast, with future rights to increase our ownership interest. Overcast is a solutions company offering prefabricated ceiling cloud systems, modular grid platforms and engineering design services to reduce waste and inefficiencies in the built environment. Our investment and equity earnings and losses in Overcast are included in our Unallocated Corporate segment. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which modifies the disclosure requirements for income taxes. This ASU requires disclosure of tabular statutory to effective tax rate reconciliation in both percentages and dollars, additional disaggregated rate reconciliation categories and disaggregation of both income taxes paid and income tax expense by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We expect this ASU to impact only our disclosures, with no impact to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures,” which expands disclosure of significant costs and expenses. This ASU requires expanded disclosures of significant costs and expenditures within cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, including amounts of inventory purchased, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and selling expenses. This ASU also requires expanded qualitative disclosures, including a description of selling expenses and a description of non-disaggregated expenses. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We expect this ASU to impact only our disclosures, with no impact to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
