“During the first half of this year, we demonstrated our ability to successfully navigate a dynamic geopolitical and macroeconomic environment through our focused execution,” said Masco President and CEO, Jon Nudi. “Our second quarter results were strong as we expanded adjusted operating profit margin by 100 basis points to 20.1 percent, and we grew adjusted earnings per share by 8 percent to $1.30. Additionally, our capital allocation strategy enabled us to return $167 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.”

“For the second half of this year, we remain confident in the ability of our teams to continue to execute our strategic priorities to drive results, even while uncertainty surrounding near-term market conditions persists,” continued Nudi. “Therefore, we are restoring our financial guidance for 2025.”

“We believe sales across the global repair and remodel markets will be down low-single digits for the year. We expect our full year 2025 sales will be generally in line with the prior year when adjusted for divestitures and currency, as we expect to continue to outperform the market in 2025,” said Nudi. “We anticipate our full year adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.90 to $4.10. With our industry leading brands, innovative product portfolio, and strong customer service, as well as our disciplined capital allocation, we believe Masco is well positioned to continue to deliver long-term shareholder value.”

Masco’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.31 per share, payable on August 25, 2025 to shareholders of record on August 8, 2025.
