LIVONIA, Mich. (October 28, 2020) - Masco Corporation (NYSE: MAS), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of branded home improvement and building products, reported its third quarter results.

“In the face of an uncertain and dynamic environment, we delivered an exceptional quarter while maintaining our top priority of employee safety,” said Masco President and CEO, Keith Allman. “I could not be prouder of our entire organization. These results demonstrate our ability to execute and the strength of our team. We leveraged strong demand and focused cost control to deliver profitable growth,” said Allman.

2020 Third Quarter Commentary

•On a reported basis, compared to third quarter 2019:

•Net sales increased 16 percent to $2.0 billion; in local currency, net sales increased 15 percent

•In local currency, North American sales increased 16 percent and international sales increased 9 percent

•Gross margins increased 230 basis points to 37.9 percent from 35.6 percent

•Operating profit increased 47 percent to $424 million

•Operating margins increased 460 basis points to 21.4 percent from 16.8 percent

•Income from continuing operations increased to $1.05 per share, compared to $0.56 per share

•Compared to third quarter 2019, results for key financial measures, as adjusted for certain items (see Exhibit A) and with a normalized tax rate of 26 percent, were as follows:

•Gross margins increased 210 basis points to 38.0 percent compared to 35.9 percent

•Operating profit increased 43 percent to $425 million from $298 million

•Operating margins increased 400 basis points to 21.4 percent compared to 17.4 percent

“We expect strong demand for our products to continue in the fourth quarter,” said Allman. “Our lower ticket, repair and remodel-oriented products are well positioned to capitalize on consumers’ increased interest in enhancing their homes,” continued Allman. “Additionally, while there is continued uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our demonstrated ability to execute and our strong liquidity position will enable us to resume our share repurchase program in the fourth quarter.”
