58-Percent Increase in Adjusted EPS Driven by Strong Roofing Performance TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Owens Corning (NYSE:OC) today reported consolidated net sales of $1.2 billion during the second quarter of 2009, compared with $1.6 billion in the second quarter of 2008. The quarter was highlighted by continued strong performance in Roofing sales, which were up 14 percent compared with the second quarter of 2008. The prolonged downturn in the U.S. housing market led to lower sales of insulation and other building materials. Composites sales were lower because of global economic weakness, which began in the fourth quarter of 2008. Led by record Roofing earnings, Owens Corning's second-quarter 2009 adjusted earnings were $62 million, or $0.49 per adjusted diluted share, compared with $40 million, or $0.31 per adjusted diluted share, in 2008. The Company reported second-quarter 2009 net earnings of $33 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared with $41 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in 2008. See Tables 1 through 3 for a discussion and reconciliation of these items. Consolidated Second-Quarter 2009 Results -- Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009, were $88 million, compared with EBIT of $74 million during the same period in 2008. Adjusted EBIT for the second quarter of 2009 was $108 million, compared with $87 million in the second quarter of 2008. See Table 2. -- EBIT was $70 million for the first six months of 2009, compared with EBIT of $95 million during the same period of 2008. Adjusted EBIT for the first six months of 2009 was $140 million, compared with $143 million during the same period of 2008. -- Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 21 percent in the second quarter of 2009, compared with 16 percent in the same period of 2008. -- Second-quarter 2009 Marketing and Administrative expenses were $37 million less than the second quarter of 2008. -- In the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company's recordable incidence rate improved approximately 15 percent over performance throughout 2008. "Owens Corning achieved outstanding second-quarter results led by record earnings in our Roofing business," said Mike Thaman, chairman and chief executive officer. "We have delivered strong financial performance and strengthened our balance sheet while responding to continued weakness in our other markets. On the strength of the first half of 2009, we are pleased to increase our outlook for free cash flow to $200 million or more for the year, implying free cash flow generation of at least $377 million during the second half of 2009." Outlook The business environment is expected to remain challenging through the second half of 2009. Capacity will remain curtailed; costs and capital spending will be lower compared to 2008. The Company is on track to deliver $160 million in cost savings during 2009. Capital expenditures will be approximately $225 million, which is a reduction of about $140 million compared with 2008, in each case excluding precious metal purchases. Depreciation and Amortization is estimated to be $320 million for the year. Actions taken position the Company to achieve more than $200 million in free cash flow in 2009. Free cash flow for the period is calculated by the change in debt less cash on hand. This calculation includes adjustments to exclude the cash impact of issuing new stock and repurchasing treasury stock. In the Composites segment, Owens Corning will continue to realize the benefits of additional synergies from the 2007 acquisition of Saint-Gobain's reinforcements and composite fabrics businesses and various cost-reduction actions taken in 2008 and 2009. Based on demand improvement in the Reinforcements business during the first and second quarters of 2009, the Company believes that incremental demand improvement will continue through the remainder of the year. Production is expected to be maintained near current levels to reduce inventories. Considerable uncertainties remain in global markets, including the pace of any demand improvement and competitive pressures. The continued weakness in the U.S. housing industry is expected to negatively affect demand in Owens Corning's Building Materials segment throughout the remainder of 2009. In the Insulation business, despite significant cost and capacity actions, cost savings are not expected to offset the impact of continued demand-driven weakness. Assuming sustained gross margins in the Roofing business, Roofing performance will continue to more than offset weakness in the Insulation and Other businesses. Uncertainties that may impact Roofing gross margins include competitive pricing pressure and the cost and availability of raw materials, particularly asphalt. In the Insulation and Other businesses, Owens Corning is prepared to take further actions to reduce capacity and lower the businesses' cost structure if further weakening occurs. Conversely, the Company is prepared to respond to increased demand by bringing additional production capacity back on line. Cash taxes in 2009 are expected to be less than the $33 million paid in 2008. The Company estimates a long-term effective book tax rate of 25 percent based on the blend of its U.S. and non-U.S. operations. A tax rate of 25 percent will be applied to the Company's quarterly and annual calculation of its adjusted earnings per share to provide better comparability from period to period. Other Financial Items -- In the second quarter and first half of 2009, actions were taken that will result in significant cost savings during the year. Costs related to these actions were $11 million in the second quarter of 2009 and total $41 million for the first six months of the year. Owens Corning expects to incur an additional $8 million in charges throughout the remainder of 2009. -- The Company generated $149 million in free cash flow during the second quarter of 2009. At the end of the second quarter of 2009, Owens Corning had net debt of $2.2 billion, comprised of $2.3 billion of short- and long-term debt and cash on hand of $110 million. See Table 7. -- During the second quarter of 2009, Owens Corning issued $350 million of 9.0 percent senior notes maturing in 2019 and used the proceeds to reduce outstanding amounts under the Company's senior revolving credit facility. -- Current cash on hand coupled with future cash flows and other sources of liquidity will provide sufficient liquidity to meet the Company's cash requirements. Owens Corning has no significant debt maturities until the fourth quarter of 2011 and remains well within compliance of the financial covenants in its senior revolving credit facility and senior term-loan facility. -- Owens Corning's federal tax net operating loss carryforward, primarily resulting from the distribution of cash and stock to settle its prior Chapter 11 case in 2006, was $2.6 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2009. Third-quarter results are currently scheduled to be announced on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009. Business Segment Highlights Composites NET SALES This segment includes the Reinforcements business, which manufactures, fabricates and sells glass reinforcements in the form of fiber; and the Downstream business, which manufactures and sells glass-fiber products in the form of fabrics, mat, veil, and other specialized products. The rapid and significant global economic slowdown that began in the fourth quarter of 2008 has reduced overall demand for composite materials. This has led to lower sales volumes in both the Reinforcements and Downstream businesses for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. These declines represented approximately two-thirds of the decrease in net sales for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The favorable trend in demand for Reinforcements that began in the first quarter of 2009 continued throughout the second quarter. For each comparative period, the remainder of the decrease in net sales was primarily a result of an unfavorable currency impact ($48 million for the second-quarter comparison and $89 million for the first-half comparison) and of the May 2008 divestiture of two composite manufacturing plants in Battice, Belgium, and Birkeland, Norway. EBIT EBIT was significantly lower in the second quarter and first half of 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. Substantially all of the segment's decrease in EBIT was the result of lower sales volumes, including the impact of underutilization of production capacity. The Company took aggressive actions in this segment beginning in the first quarter of 2009 and continuing through the second quarter to reduce inventories and operating costs by decreasing production to levels below current demand. These lower production levels, achieved through idling and shutting down production lines, coupled with headcount reductions, have reduced operating costs in this segment. Also impacting EBIT comparability for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was the inclusion in 2008 of EBIT from the manufacturing plants divested in May 2008. Building Materials NET SALES This segment includes the Insulation, Roofing and Other businesses. Despite the significant and continued downturn in the U.S. housing market, net sales in the Building Materials segment have decreased only 9 percent and 3 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. Within the Building Materials segment, net sales decreased in the Insulation business, while net sales increased in the Roofing business. In Roofing, selling prices have been stable since the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2008. Leading up to the fourth quarter of 2008, selling prices had been increasing to recover inflation in raw material costs, particularly asphalt. The 2009 level of selling prices led to increased net sales of more than 25 percent in the second quarter and the first half compared to the same periods in 2008. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volumes, which were a result of lower residential construction activity in the U.S. and reduced storm-related demand. In Insulation, declining demand, primarily related to the lower level of U.S. housing starts, drove the decreases in net sales. The Company estimates that residential insulation demand lags the start of new residential construction by approximately three months. First-quarter 2009 U.S. housing starts were 50 percent lower than those in the first quarter of 2008 according to data reported by the U.S. Census Bureau. The Insulation business includes a diversified portfolio that softened the impact of the U.S. housing decline on sales. This portfolio includes a geographic mix with Canada, Asia-Pacific and Latin America as well as a market mix that includes commercial, industrial and other non-residential markets. Weakness has been seen in many of these markets, which became more pronounced in the second quarter of 2009. EBIT The significant increase in EBIT for each year-over-year period was driven by unit margin improvements in the Roofing business. Roofing unit margins began improving in the second quarter of 2008 as selling price increases outpaced inflation. These improvements accounted for substantially all of the increase in Roofing EBIT for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. Partially offsetting the EBIT improvements was the impact of lower sales volumes, including the impact of underutilization of the Company's production capacity in the Insulation business. These lower sales volumes accounted for substantially all of the decrease in Insulation EBIT for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same periods in 2008. In response to the continued weak U.S. housing market, Owens Corning took actions across the Building Materials segment throughout 2008 and into the first half of 2009 to reduce production capacity and align the cost structure with market demand.
