Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (NYSE:AWI), a leader in the
design, innovation and manufacture of ceiling and wall solutions in
the Americas, today reported first-quarter 2022 financial results.
The company drove net sales growth of 12% and operating income
growth of 17%, primarily due to price over inflation gains and
strong growth in the Architectural Specialties segment. These gains
were partially offset by lower Mineral Fiber sales volumes and
equity earnings, primarily due to reductions in distributor
inventory levels.
“The double-digit topline growth we achieved is
a testament to Armstrong's ability to achieve price ahead of
inflation and our strong execution on the growth opportunities in
our Architectural Specialties segment and with our digital and
Healthy Spaces initiatives,” said Vic Grizzle, President and CEO of
Armstrong World Industries. “We remain encouraged by sentiment
supporting demand in the commercial construction market, and this,
together with our investments for growth, supports our confidence
in our outlook for the rest of 2022.”

First-quarter 2022 consolidated net sales
increased 12.2% from prior-year results, driven primarily by
favorable Average Unit Value (“AUV”) of $23 million and increased
sales volumes from the Architectural Specialties segment of $16
million, which was partially offset by lower Mineral Fiber volumes
of $8 million.
Operating income increased 16.8% from
first-quarter 2021, primarily due to positive AUV in the Mineral
Fiber segment, the benefit from higher sales volumes in the
Architectural Specialties segment and a decrease in intangible
asset amortization related to the Architectural Specialties
segment. This favorability was partially offset by higher
manufacturing costs, primarily raw materials and energy costs,
increased selling expenses, the negative impact from lower Mineral
Fiber sales volume and a reduction in equity earnings.

First-quarter 2022 Mineral Fiber net sales
increased 7.7% due to $23 million of favorable AUV, partially
offset by lower sales volumes of $8 million. Strong AUV performance
resulted from favorable like-for-like pricing. The decrease in
volumes was primarily driven by a reduction of inventory levels for
certain distributor customers.
First-quarter Mineral Fiber operating income
decreased 5.0% from prior-year results primarily due to a $7
million increase in manufacturing costs, primarily increased raw
material and energy costs, a $6 million decrease resulting from
lower sales volumes, a $5 million increase in selling expenses,
primarily related to investments in growth initiatives and
incentive compensation, and a $3 million decrease in equity
earnings. The decrease in equity earnings was also primarily
related to lower volumes, due primarily to the reduction of
inventory levels for certain distributor customers. These costs
were partially offset by $18 million of favorable AUV.

First-quarter 2022 net sales in Architectural
Specialties increased 25.6% from prior-year results, driven by an
increase in custom project sales, improved performance from recent
acquisitions compared to the prior year and positive impacts from
price increases.
The year-over-year increase in operating income
was primarily driven by a $9 million benefit from net sales growth
and a $4 million reduction in intangible asset amortization. These
benefits were partially offset by a $2 million increase related to
additional investments in selling capabilities and incentive
compensation expense.
Unallocated Corporate
The Company reported an Unallocated Corporate
operating loss of $1 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared
to a loss of $2 million in the prior year period.
Maintaining 2022 Outlook
“Despite a slow start to the year for Mineral
Fiber volume from impacts of normalizing distributor inventory
levels, our Architectural Specialties results and growth initiative
performance was impressive,” said Brian MacNeal, AWI CFO. “Our
team's demonstrated ability to price ahead of inflation, manage
costs throughout the business and the traction of our growth
investments gives us confidence in maintaining our full year
guidance of net sales growth of 10% to 13% and adjusted EBITDA
growth of 10% to 16% versus the prior year.”

Supplemental Reconciliations of GAAP to
non-GAAP Results (unaudited)(Amounts in millions, except
per share data)
To supplement its consolidated financial
statements presented in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company
provides additional measures of performance adjusted to exclude the
impact of certain discrete expenses and income including adjusted
net sales, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted earnings per share
(EPS) and adjusted free cash flow. Investors should not consider
non-GAAP measures as a substitute for GAAP measures. The Company
excludes certain acquisition related expenses (i.e. – changes in
the fair value of contingent consideration, deferred compensation
accruals, impact of adjustments related to the fair value of
inventory and deferred revenue) for recent acquisitions. The
deferred compensation accruals are for cash and stock awards that
are recorded over each award's respective vesting period, as such
payments are subject to the sellers’ and employees’ continued
employment with the Company. The Company excludes all
acquisition-related intangible amortization from adjusted earnings
from continuing operations and in calculations of adjusted diluted
earnings per share. Examples of other excluded items include plant
closures, restructuring charges and related costs, impairments,
separation costs, environmental site expenses and related insurance
recoveries, endowment level charitable contributions, and certain
other gains and losses. The Company also excludes income/expense
from its U.S. Retirement Income Plan (“RIP”) in the non-GAAP
results as it represents the actuarial net periodic benefit
credit/cost recorded. For all periods presented, the Company was
not required and did not make cash contributions to the RIP based
on guidelines established by the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation, nor does the Company expect to make cash contributions
to the plan in 2022. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash
from operating and investing activities, adjusted to remove the
impact of cash used or proceeds received for acquisitions and
divestitures, environmental site expenses and related insurance
recoveries. The Company believes adjusted free cash flow is useful
because it provides insight into the amount of cash that the
Company generates for discretionary uses, after expenditures for
capital investments and adjustments for acquisitions and
divestitures. The Company uses these adjusted performance measures
in managing the business, including communications with its Board
of Directors and employees, and believes that they provide users of
this financial information with meaningful comparisons of operating
performance between current results and results in prior periods.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are
appropriate to enhance understanding of its past performance, as
well as prospects for its future performance. The Company also uses
adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow as factors in
determining at-risk compensation for senior management. These
non-GAAP measures may not be defined and calculated the same as
similar measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of these
adjustments to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is
included in this release and on the Company’s website. These
non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP
financial measures utilized by the Company may not be comparable to
non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
In the following charts, numbers may not sum due
to rounding. Non-GAAP figures are rounded to the nearest million
and corresponding percentages are rounded to the nearest percent
based on unrounded figures.
