“We delivered another quarter of strong operating results,” said Keith Allman, Masco’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our fourth quarter adjusted operating profit margin expanded 140 basis points, marking the seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year margin expansion, and our adjusted earnings per share grew by 7 percent. Additionally, we executed on our capital allocation strategy by returning $331 million to shareholders in the quarter through dividends and share repurchases.”

“For the full year 2024, we expanded adjusted operating margin by 70 basis points to 17.5 percent through our focus on cost savings initiatives and operational efficiencies,” continued Allman. “With this strong execution, we delivered adjusted earnings per share growth of 6 percent despite a challenging demand environment. Our strong cash flow also enabled us to return $1.0 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.”

“In 2025, we believe demand across the global repair and remodel markets will be flat to down low single digits. We expect our sales to be approximately flat to up low-single digits when adjusted for divestitures and currency, as we expect to continue to outperform the market in 2025,” said Allman. “Based on the market outlook, our expected operating performance, and our capital deployment actions, we anticipate full year adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $4.20 to $4.45 per share. With our industry leading repair and remodel-oriented product portfolio, strong balance sheet, and disciplined capital allocation, we believe Masco is well positioned to continue to deliver long-term shareholder value.”
