Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(dollar amounts in millions, except share data)

 

NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (“AWI”) is a Pennsylvania corporation incorporated in 1891. When we refer to “AWI,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” in these notes, we are referring to AWI and its subsidiaries.

Except as disclosed in this note, the accounting policies used in preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q are the same as those used in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes that are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature have been included to provide a fair statement of the results for the reporting periods presented. Operating results for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 and 2021 included in this report are unaudited. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of annual earnings, primarily due to the different level of sales in each quarter of the year and the possibility of changes in general economic conditions.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The statements include management estimates and judgments, where appropriate. Management utilizes estimates to record many items, including certain asset values, contingent purchase price liabilities, allowances for bad debts, inventory obsolescence and lower of cost and net realizable value charges, warranty reserves, workers’ compensation, general liability and environmental claims, and income taxes. When preparing an estimate, management determines the amount based upon the consideration of relevant information and may confer with outside parties, including external counsel. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

COVID-19 Considerations

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future consolidated results of operations remains uncertain. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our employees, operations, customers, suppliers and financial results depends on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including: the duration and scope of the pandemic (and whether there is a resurgence or multiple resurgences in the future, including the impact of new variants); government actions taken in response to the pandemic, including required shutdowns or vaccine or testing mandates; the availability, acceptance, distribution and continued effectiveness of vaccines; the impact on construction activity, including the effect on our customers' demand for our ceiling and wall systems; supply chain disruptions; rising inflation; labor shortages; sustained remote or hybrid work models; our ability to manufacture and sell our products; and the ability of our customers to pay for our products. While many of our products support life sustaining activities and essential construction, we and certain of our customers or suppliers may be impacted by state actions, orders and policies regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, including; temporary closures of non-life-sustaining businesses, shelter-in-place orders, and travel, social distancing and quarantine policies, the implementation and enforcement of which vary by individual U.S. states and by individual countries in the Americas. We did not record any asset impairments, inventory charges or material bad debt reserves related to COVID-19 during the second quarter and first six months of 2022 and 2021, but future events may require such charges which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

NOTE 3. REVENUE

Disaggregation of Revenues

Our Mineral Fiber and Architectural Specialties operating segments both manufacture and sell ceiling and wall systems (primarily mineral fiber, fiberglass wool, metal, wood, wood fiber, glass-reinforced-gypsum and felt) throughout the Americas. We disaggregate revenue based on our product-based segments and major customer channels, as they represent the most appropriate depiction of how the nature, amount and timing of revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Net sales by major customer channel are as follows:

 

Distributors – represents net sales to building materials distributors who re-sell our products to contractors, subcontractors’ alliances, large architecture and design firms, and major facility owners. Geographically, this category includes sales throughout the U.S., Canada, and Latin America.

 

Home centers – represents net sales to home centers, such as Lowe’s Companies, Inc. and The Home Depot, Inc. This category includes sales primarily to U.S. customers.

 

Direct customers – represents net sales to contractors, subcontractors, and large architect and design firms. This category includes sales primarily to U.S. customers.

 

Retailers and other – represents net sales to independent retailers and certain national account customers, including wholesalers who re-sell our products to dealers who service builders, contractors and consumers, online customers, major facility owners, group purchasing organizations and maintenance, repair and operating entities. Geographically, this category includes sales throughout the U.S. and Canada.

 

The following tables provide net sales by major customer channel within our Mineral Fiber and Architectural Specialties segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

NOTE 4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

EMEA and Pacific Rim Businesses

In 2019, we completed the sale of certain subsidiaries comprising our businesses and operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (including Russia) (“EMEA”) and the Pacific Rim, including the corresponding businesses and operations conducted by Worthington Armstrong Venture (“WAVE”), our joint venture with Worthington Industries, Inc. (“Worthington”) in which AWI holds a 50% interest (collectively, the “Sale”), to Knauf International GmbH (“Knauf”). We did not record a gain or loss during the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a pre-tax loss on sale of $0.4 million for final purchase price adjustments related to certain pension liabilities included in the Sale and paid $11.8 million to Knauf related to this purchase price adjustment. We did not record a gain or loss during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022.

The effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 were lower compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to a reduction in our valuation allowance for capital loss carryforwards recorded in the second quarter of 2022.

 

It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. However, an estimate of the range of reasonably possible outcomes cannot be reliably made at this time. Changes to unrecognized tax benefits could result from the expiration of statutes of limitations, the completion of ongoing examinations, or other unforeseen circumstances.

 

NOTE 12. DEBT

Our long-term debt is comprised of borrowings outstanding under our $1,000.0 million variable rate senior credit facility, which is comprised of a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $150.0 million sublimit for letters of credit) and a $500.0 million Term Loan A. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the principal balance of our Term Loan A was $456.2 million and $468.7 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility were $215.0 million and $165.0 million, respectively. Additionally, we have a $25.0 million letter of credit facility, also known as our bi-lateral facility.

We utilize lines of credit and other commercial commitments to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet operating requirements. Letters of credit are currently arranged through our revolving credit facility and our bi-lateral facility. Letters of credit may be issued to third party suppliers, insurance and financial institutions and typically can only be drawn upon in the event of AWI’s failure to pay its obligations to the beneficiary. The following table presents details related to our letters of credit facilities:

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value estimates of long-term debt are based on quotes from a major financial institution of recently observed trading levels of our Term Loan A debt. The fair value estimates for interest rate swap contracts are estimated by obtaining quotes from major financial institutions with verification by internal valuation models. We engage independent, third-party valuation specialists to determine the fair value estimate for acquisition-related contingent consideration payable based on future performance, which is measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. As of December 31, 2021, $8.6 million of the carrying amount of contingent consideration liabilities payable, related to final achievement of certain financial and performance milestones through December 31, 2021 for the acquisitions of Moz Designs, Inc. (“Moz”) in August 2020 and TURF Design, Inc. (“Turf”) in July 2020, was equal to fair value as milestone achievements were known.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; or

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

 

The fair value measurement of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets is summarized below:

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability represents the estimated fair value of additional cash consideration payable related to our acquisition of Turf upon the achievement of certain financial and performance milestones through December 31, 2022. The liability was measured based on a Monte Carlo simulation and was classified as a current liability as of June 30, 2022.

 

Acquisition-related contingent consideration of $10.4 million and $4.2 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, was measured with the use of significant unobservable inputs, which included financial projections over the earn-out period, the volatility of the underlying financial metrics and estimated discount rates. All changes in the contingent consideration liability subsequent to the initial acquisition-date measurements were recorded as a component of operating income on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we paid $8.6 million of additional cash consideration, which represented the final achievement of certain financial and performance milestones through December 31, 2021 for the acquisitions of Moz and Turf. The additional cash consideration paid was classified as cash flows from financing activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, up to the acquisition date fair value. The portion of additional cash consideration paid in excess of the acquisition date fair value was classified as cash flows from operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

 

NOTE 15. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices that could impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. We use interest rate derivatives to manage our exposures to interest rates. At inception, interest rate swap derivatives that we designate as hedging instruments are formally documented as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or cash flow hedge. We also formally assess, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, or if the anticipated transaction is no longer probable of occurring, we discontinue hedge accounting and any future mark-to-market adjustments are recognized in earnings. We use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative trading purposes.

Counterparty Risk

We only enter into derivative transactions with established financial institution counterparties having an investment-grade credit rating. We monitor counterparty credit ratings on a regular basis. All of our derivative transactions with counterparties are governed by master International Swap and Derivatives Association agreements (“ISDAs”) with netting arrangements. These agreements can limit our exposure in situations where we have gain and loss positions outstanding with a single counterparty. We do not post nor do we receive cash collateral with any counterparty for our derivative transactions. These ISDAs do not have any credit contingent features; however, a default under our bank credit facility would trigger a default under these agreements. Exposure to individual counterparties is controlled and we consider the risk of counterparty default to be negligible.

Interest Rate Risk

We utilize interest rate swaps to minimize the fluctuations in earnings caused by interest rate volatility. These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges against changes in the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for a portion of our variable rate debt. The following table summarizes our interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2022:

NOTE 17. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock Repurchase Plan

On July 29, 2016, our Board of Directors approved our share repurchase program pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase up to $1,200.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2023 (the “Program”). We had $428.8 million remaining under the Board’s repurchase authorization as of June 30, 2022.

Repurchases under the Program may be made through open market, block and privately negotiated transactions, including Rule 10b5-1 plans, at such times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate, subject to market and business conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors. The Program does not obligate AWI to repurchase any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 0.6 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $55.0 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $86.06 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 0.9 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $85.0 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $90.42 per share. Since inception, we have repurchased 11.4 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $771.2 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $67.37 per share.

NOTE 18. LITIGATION AND RELATED MATTERS

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

Environmental Compliance

Our manufacturing and research facilities are affected by various federal, state and local requirements relating to the discharge of materials and the protection of the environment. We make expenditures necessary for compliance with applicable environmental requirements at each of our operating facilities. While these expenditures are not typically material, the applicable regulatory requirements continually change and, as a result, we cannot predict with certainty the amount, nature or timing of future expenditures associated with environmental compliance.

Environmental Sites

Summary

We are actively involved in the investigation and remediation of existing or potential environmental contamination under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and state Superfund and similar environmental laws at two domestically owned locations allegedly resulting from past industrial activity.

In each location, we are one of multiple potentially responsible parties and have agreed to jointly fund the required investigation and remediation, while preserving our defenses to the liability. We may also have rights of contribution or reimbursement from other parties or coverage under applicable insurance policies. We have pursued coverage and recoveries under those applicable insurance policies with respect to certain of the sites, including the Macon, GA site and the Elizabeth City, NC site, each of which is summarized below. Other than disclosed below, we are unable to predict the outcome of these matters or the timing of any future recoveries, whether through settlement or otherwise. We are also unable to predict the extent to which any recoveries might cover our final share of investigation and remediation costs for these sites. Our final share of investigation and remediation costs may exceed any such recoveries, and such amounts net of insurance recoveries may be material.

19


Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(dollar amounts in millions, except share data)

 

Between 2017 and 2021, we entered settlement agreements totaling $53.0 million with certain legacy insurance carriers to resolve ongoing litigation and recover fees and costs previously incurred by us in connection with certain environmental sites. These settlements were initially recorded as reductions to cost of goods sold and SG&A expenses, reflecting the same income statement categories where environmental expenditures were historically recorded. Beginning in 2020, cumulative insurance recoveries exceeded cumulative expenses to date related to the respective environmental sites and the excess was recorded within long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, insurance recoveries in excess of cumulative expenses were $3.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively. The excess recoveries will be released to offset any future expenses incurred on the respective environmental sites. We may enter into additional settlement agreements in the future, which may or may not be material, with other legacy insurers to obtain reimbursement or contribution for environmental site expenses.

Estimates of our future liability at the environmental sites are based on evaluations of currently available facts regarding each individual site. We consider factors such as our activities associated with the site, existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations and prior company experience in remediating contaminated sites. Although current law imposes joint and several liability on all parties at Superfund sites, our contribution to the remediation of these sites is expected to be limited by the number of other companies potentially liable for site remediation. As a result, our estimated liability reflects only our expected share. In determining the probability of contribution, we consider the solvency of other parties, the site activities of other parties, whether liability is being disputed, the terms of any existing agreements and experience with similar matters, and the effect of our October 2006 Chapter 11 reorganization upon the validity of the claim, if any.

Specific Material Events

Macon, GA

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) has listed two landfills located on a portion of our facility in Macon, GA, along with the former Macon Naval Ordnance Plant landfill adjacent to our property, portions of Rocky Creek, and certain tributaries leading to Rocky Creek (collectively, the “Macon Site”) as a Superfund site on the National Priorities List due to the presence of contaminants, most notably polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”).

In September 2010, we entered into an Administrative Order on Consent for a Removal Action (the “Removal Action”) with the EPA to investigate PCB contamination in one of the landfills on our property, the Wastewater Treatment Plant Landfill (the “WWTP Landfill,” also known as “Operable Unit 1”). After completing an investigation of the WWTP Landfill and submitting our final Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis, the EPA issued an Action Memorandum in July 2013 selecting our recommended remedy for the Removal Action. The Operable Unit 1 response action for the WWTP Landfill is complete and the final report was submitted to the EPA in October 2016. The EPA approved the final report in November 2016, and a Post-Removal Control Plan was submitted to the EPA in March 2017.

It is probable that we will incur field investigation, engineering and oversight costs associated with a Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) with respect to the remainder of the Superfund site, which includes the other landfill on our property, as well as areas on and adjacent to our property and Rocky Creek (“Operable Unit 2”). In September 2015, AWI and other Potential Responsible Parties (“PRPs”) received a Special Notice Letter from the EPA under CERCLA inviting AWI and the PRPs to enter into the negotiation of an agreement to conduct an RI/FS of Operable Unit 2. We and the other PRPs entered into a settlement agreement with the EPA effective September 2018, in response to the Special Notice Letter to conduct the RI/FS. The PRPs submitted a complete RI/FS work plan, which was approved by the EPA in September 2019. Investigative work on this portion of the site commenced in December 2019. In June 2021, the PRPs submitted the Site Characterization Summary Report (SCSR) for Operable Unit 2 to the EPA. The purpose of the SCSR is to demonstrate that the available data for Operable Unit 2 is adequate for the risk assessment and for the development of remedial action objectives. In May 2022, the PRPs submitted a Baseline Ecological Risk Assessment for Operable Unit 2 to the EPA. Additional investigative work for Operable Unit 2 continues in preparation of a Human Health Baseline Risk Assessment to be submitted to the EPA. We may ultimately incur costs in remediating any contamination discovered during the RI/FS. The current estimate of future liability at this site includes only our estimated share of the costs of the investigative work that the EPA is requiring the PRPs to perform at this time. We are unable to reasonably estimate our final share of the total costs associated with the investigation work or any resulting remediation therefrom, although such amounts may be material to any one quarter's or year's results of operations in the future. We do not expect the total future costs to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or financial condition as the cash payments may be made over many years.

Elizabeth City, NC

This site is a former cabinet manufacturing facility that was operated by Triangle Pacific Corporation, now known as Armstrong Wood Products, Inc. (“AWP”), from 1977 until 1996. The site was formerly owned by the U.S. Navy (“Navy”) and Westinghouse,

20


Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(dollar amounts in millions, except share data)

 

which was purchased by Paramount Global (“Paramount”) (then known as CBS Corporation). We assumed ownership of the site when we acquired the stock of AWP in 1998. Prior to our acquisition, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources listed the site as a hazardous waste site. In 1997, AWP entered into a cost sharing agreement with Westinghouse whereby the parties agreed to share equally in costs associated with investigation and potential remediation. In 2000, AWP and Paramount entered into an Administrative Order on Consent to conduct an RI/FS with the EPA for the site. In 2007, we and Paramount entered into an agreement with the Navy whereby the Navy agreed to pay one third of defined past and future investigative costs up to a certain amount, which has now been exhausted. The EPA approved the RI/FS work plan in August 2011. In January 2014, we submitted draft Remedial Investigation and Risk Assessment reports and conducted supplemental investigative work based upon agency comments to those reports. In connection with the separation of Armstrong Flooring, Inc. in 2016, we agreed to retain any legacy environmental liabilities associated with the AWP site. The EPA published an Interim Action Proposed Plan for the site in April 2018 seeking public comment until June 2018. The EPA evaluated comments, including ours, and has published its Interim Record Of Decision selecting an interim cleanup approach. In September 2018, AWI and Paramount received a Special Notice Letter from the EPA under CERCLA inviting AWI and Paramount to enter into the negotiation of a settlement agreement to conduct or finance the response action at the site. In response to the September 2018 Special Notice Letter, we and Paramount submitted a good faith offer to the EPA in May 2019. In June 2021, we entered into a negotiated Partial Consent Decree and Site Participation Agreement with the EPA and the PRPs for the remedial design and remedial action to be completed by the parties at the site. The Partial Consent Decree was entered by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina in January 2022. A Remedial Design Work Plan for the site was submitted to the EPA in June 2022. The current estimate of future liability at this site includes only our estimated share of the costs of the interim remedial action that, at this time, we anticipate the EPA will require the PRPs to perform. We are unable to reasonably estimate our final share of the total costs associated with the final remediation or any resulting remediation therefrom, although such amounts may be material to any one quarter’s or year’s results of operations in the future. We do not expect the total future costs to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or financial condition as the cash payments may be made over many years.

Summary of Financial Position

Total liabilities of $0.4 million and $0.7 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, were recorded for environmental liabilities that we consider probable and for which a reasonable estimate of the probable liability could be made. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, were reflected within accounts payable and accrued expenses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $0.6 million of additional reserves for potential environmental liabilities. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded $0.2 million of additional reserves for potential environmental liabilities. As noted above, expenses associated with the additional reserves recorded in 2022 and 2021 are offset through the release of a portion of the balance of insurance recoveries in excess of cumulative expenses. Where existing data is sufficient to estimate the liability, that estimate has been used; where only a range of probable liabilities is available and no amount within that range is more likely than any other, the lower end of the range has been used. As assessments and remediation activities progress at each site, these liabilities are reviewed to reflect new information as it becomes available and adjusted to reflect amounts actually incurred and paid. These liabilities are undiscounted.

The estimated environmental liabilities above do not take into account any claims for additional recoveries from insurance or third parties. It is our policy to record insurance recoveries as assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets when realizable. We incur costs to pursue environmental insurance recoveries, which are expensed as incurred.

Actual costs to be incurred at identified sites may vary from our estimates. Based on our knowledge of the identified sites, it is not possible to reasonably estimate future costs in excess of amounts already recognized.

OTHER CLAIMS

From time to time, we are involved in other various lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business, including matters involving our products, intellectual property, relationships with suppliers, relationships with distributors, relationships with competitors, employees and other matters. In connection with those matters, we may have rights of contribution or reimbursement from other parties or coverage under applicable insurance policies. When applicable and appropriate, we will pursue coverage and recoveries under those policies, but are unable to predict the outcome of those demands. While complete assurance cannot be given to the outcome of any proceedings relating to these matters, we do not believe that any current claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, the accompanying notes, the cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements and risk factors included in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

OVERVIEW

AWI is a leader in the design, innovation and manufacture of ceiling and wall solutions in the Americas. Our products primarily include mineral fiber, fiberglass wool, metal, wood, wood fiber, glass-reinforced-gypsum and felt. We also manufacture ceiling suspension system (grid) products through a joint venture with Worthington Industries, Inc. ("Worthington") called Worthington Armstrong Venture ("WAVE").

COVID-19

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future consolidated results of operations remains uncertain. During 2020, we noted delays in construction driven by temporary closures of non-essential businesses, with the most significant impacts in certain major metropolitan areas impacted by COVID-19. Beginning in 2021, market conditions began to improve and continued to do so in the first half of 2022, although the improvement has been tempered by delays in construction starts and extended project timelines, in addition to the impact of higher inflation. We continue to monitor and manage the impact of COVID-19 and its potential impacts to our business.
 

As of June 30, 2022, all of our manufacturing facilities were operational, excluding our St. Helens, Oregon facility which was idled in the second quarter of 2018. In an effort to operate safely and responsibly, we continue to follow guidelines from governmental health authorities across all our facilities.
 

We did not record any asset impairments, inventory charges or material bad debt reserves related to COVID-19 during the first six months of 2022 or the full year of 2021, although future events may require such charges. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Manufacturing Plants

As of June 30, 2022, we operated 16 manufacturing plants in two countries, with 14 plants located within the U.S. and two plants in Canada. We closed our St. Helens, Oregon mineral fiber manufacturing plant in the second quarter of 2018, and the facility was classified as an asset held for sale as of June 30, 2022. During the second quarter of 2022, we entered into a sale agreement for our idled Mineral Fiber plant with closing expected in the next twelve months.

WAVE operates six additional plants in the U.S. to produce suspension system (grid) products, which we use and sell in our ceiling systems.

Reportable Segments

Our operating segments are as follows: Mineral Fiber, Architectural Specialties and Unallocated Corporate.

Mineral Fiber – produces suspended mineral fiber and soft fiber ceiling systems. Our mineral fiber products offer various performance attributes such as acoustical control, rated fire protection, aesthetic appeal, and health and sustainability features. Ceiling products are sold to resale distributors, ceiling systems contractors and wholesalers and retailers (including large home centers). The Mineral Fiber segment also includes the results of WAVE, which manufactures and sells suspension system (grid) products and ceiling component products that are invoiced by both AWI and WAVE. Segment results relating to WAVE consist primarily of equity earnings and reflect our 50% equity interest in the joint venture. Ceiling component products consist of ceiling perimeters and trim, in addition to grid products that support drywall ceiling systems. For some customers, WAVE sells its suspension systems products to AWI for resale to customers. Mineral Fiber segment results reflect those sales transactions. The Mineral Fiber segment also includes all assets and liabilities not specifically allocated to our Architectural Specialties or Unallocated Corporate segment, including all property and related depreciation associated with our Lancaster, PA headquarters. Operating results for the Mineral Fiber segment include a significant majority of allocated Corporate administrative expenses that represent a reasonable allocation of general services to support its operations.

 

Architectural Specialties – produces, designs and sources ceilings and walls for use in commercial settings. Products are available in numerous materials, such as metal, felt and wood, in addition to various colors, shapes and designs. Products offer various

23


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

performance attributes such as acoustical control, rated fire protection and aesthetic appeal. We sell standard, premium and customized products, a portion of which are derived from sourced products. Architectural Specialties products are sold primarily to resale distributors and direct customers, primarily ceiling systems contractors. The majority of this segment's revenues are project driven, which can lead to more volatile sales patterns due to project scheduling uncertainty. Operating results for the Architectural Specialties segment include a portion of allocated Corporate administrative expenses that represent a reasonable allocation of general services to support its operations.

Unallocated Corporate – includes certain assets, liabilities, income and expenses that have not been allocated to our other business segments and consists of: cash and cash equivalents, the net funded status of our U.S. Retirement Income Plan (“RIP”), the estimated fair value of interest rate swap contracts, outstanding borrowings under our senior credit facility and income tax balances. Our Unallocated Corporate segment also includes all expenses related to our German defined benefit pension plan that was formerly reported in our Europe, the Middle East and Africa (including Russia) (“EMEA”) and Pacific Rim segments and was not included in the sale of certain subsidiaries comprising our businesses and operations in EMEA and the Pacific Rim to Knauf International GmbH.

Factors Affecting Revenues

For information on our segments' 2022 net sales by segment, see Notes 2 and 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Markets. We compete in the building product construction markets of the Americas. We closely monitor publicly available macroeconomic trends that provide insight into commercial construction market activity, including GDP, office vacancy rates, the Architecture Billings Index, new commercial construction starts, state and local government spending, corporate profits and retail sales. The company continues to monitor the impacts of global events, including the conflict in Ukraine, which due to our Americas-only geography, had minimal direct impact on our results of operations during the first half of 2022.

We noted several factors and trends within our markets that directly affected our business performance during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, most importantly the continuing recovery of commercial construction activity from the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by on-going challenges to global supply chains and labor availability. Our results also benefited from improved performance within our Architectural Specialties segment, primarily driven by our recent acquisitions. Demand continues to be tempered by delays in construction starts and extended project timelines, in addition to the impact of higher inflation. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, increased sales volumes contributed $17 million and $24 million, respectively, to revenue compared to the same periods in 2021.

Average Unit Value. We periodically modify sales prices of our products due to changes in costs for raw materials and energy, market conditions and the competitive environment. Typically, realized price increases are less than announced price increases because of project pricing, competitive adjustments and changing market conditions. We also offer a wide assortment of products that are differentiated by style, design and performance attributes. Pricing and margins for products within the assortment vary. In addition, changes in the relative quantity of products purchased at different price points can impact year-to-year comparisons of net sales and operating income. Within our Mineral Fiber segment, we focus on improving sales dollars per unit sold, or average unit value (“AUV”), as a measure that accounts for the varying assortment of products and like-for-like pricing impacting our revenues. We estimate that favorable AUV increased our total consolidated net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 by approximately $24 million and $48 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. Our Architectural Specialties segment revenues are primarily earned based on individual contracts that include a mix of products, both manufactured by us and sourced from third parties, which varies by project. As such, we do not track AUV performance for this segment, but attribute most changes in sales to volume.

During the first and second quarters of 2022, we implemented or announced future price increases on Mineral Fiber ceiling, grid products and certain Architectural Specialties products. In July 2022, we implemented an additional price increase on Mineral Fiber ceiling tile products and certain Architectural Specialties products. We may implement future pricing actions based on numerous factors, namely the rate and pace of inflation impact on our business.

Seasonality. Historically, our sales tend to be stronger in the second and the third quarters of our fiscal year due to more favorable weather conditions, customer business cycles and the timing of renovation and new construction.

Factors Affecting Operating Costs

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses are comprised of direct production costs (principally raw materials, labor and energy), manufacturing overhead costs, freight, costs to purchase sourced products and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.


Our largest raw material expenditures are primarily for fiberglass, perlite, recycled paper and starch. Other raw materials include

24


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

aluminum, clays, felt, pigment, steel, wood and wood fiber. We manufacture most of our mineral wool needs at one of our manufacturing facilities. Natural gas and packaging materials are also significant input costs. Fluctuations in the prices of these inputs are generally beyond our control and have a direct impact on our financial results. Global supply chain and labor disruptions have contributed to raw material and transportation cost inflation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, higher costs for raw materials and energy negatively impacted operating income by $11 million and $18 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021.

2020 Acquisition-Related Expenses and (Gains) Losses

In connection with our acquisitions of TURF Design, Inc. (“Turf”) in July 2020, Moz Designs, Inc. (“Moz”) in August 2020, and Arktura LLC (“Arktura”) in December 2020, we recorded certain acquisition-related expenses and (gains) losses to operating income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, summarized as follows (dollar amounts in millions):

The deferred revenue and inventory amounts above reflect the post-acquisition expenses associated with recording these liabilities and assets at fair value as part of purchase accounting. The change in fair value of contingent consideration is related to our Moz and Turf acquisitions and is remeasured quarterly during each acquisition’s respective earn-out period. See Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Expenses related to the deferred cash and restricted stock awards for Arktura’s former owners and employees are recorded over their respective service periods, as such payments are subject to the awardees’ continued employment with AWI. Depreciation of fixed assets acquired and amortization of intangible assets acquired have been excluded from the table above.

Employees

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had approximately 2,950 and 2,820 full-time and part-time employees, respectively.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

sales increased $15 million from second-quarter 2021 results. The increase in Mineral Fiber net sales was driven by improved AUV due primarily to favorable price, and higher volumes. Architectural Specialties net sales growth resulted from improved performance from our recent acquisitions compared to the same period in 2021 and positive impacts from price increases.

 

Consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2022 increased 13.5% as favorable AUV contributed $48 million and higher volumes contributed $24 million. Mineral Fiber net sales increased $41 million year-over-year and Architectural Specialties net sales increased $31 million. The increase in Mineral Fiber net sales was driven by improved AUV, due primarily to favorable price, partially offset by lower volumes resulting primarily from a reduction of inventory levels at certain distributor customers in early 2022. Architectural Specialties net sales improved due to an increase in custom project sales, improved performance from our recent acquisitions compared to the same period in 2021 and positive impacts from price increases.

 

Cost of goods sold in the second quarter of 2022 was 63.3% of net sales, compared to 62.5% for the same period in 2021, driven by higher inflation, partially offset by favorable AUV performance and improved manufacturing productivity. Cost of goods sold in the first six months of 2022 was 63.5% of net sales, compared to 63.8% for the same period in 2021. This decrease was driven by favorable AUV performance and improved manufacturing productivity, partially offset by higher inflation.

 

SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2022 were $61.5 million, or 19.2% of net sales, compared to $60.0 million, or 21.4% of net sales, for the same period in 2021. The second-quarter 2022 increase in SG&A expenses was driven primarily by a $5 million increase in selling expenses and a $2 million increase in incentive compensation expense, which was partially offset by a $6 million decrease in intangible asset amortization and acquisition-related expenses related to the Architectural Specialties segment.

 

SG&A expenses in the first six months of 2022 were $118.6 million, or 19.6% of net sales, compared to $114.2 million, or 21.5% of net sales, for the 2021 period. The increase in SG&A expenses for the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was driven by a $13 million increase in selling expenses in support of increased sales and growth initiatives, and a $2 million increase in incentive compensation expense, which was partially offset by an $11 million decrease in intangible asset amortization and acquisition-related expenses related to the Architectural Specialties segment.

 

During the second quarter and first six months of 2022, we recorded $6.1 million and $6.2 million, respectively, of remeasurement losses for changes in the fair value of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Turf. During the same periods in 2021, we recorded $9.7 million and $9.5 million, respectively, of remeasurement gains related to the acquisitions of Turf and Moz. See Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Equity earnings from our WAVE joint venture were $21.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $23.7 million in the prior-year period, and were $39.5 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to $44.7 million in the first six months of 2021. The decrease in WAVE earnings during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 resulted primarily from higher steel cost inflation, partially offset by favorable AUV that was driven by price. The decrease in WAVE earnings during the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 resulted primarily from higher steel cost inflation and lower volumes, primarily due to a reduction of inventory levels at certain distributor customers in early 2022, and increased SG&A expenses, partially offset by favorable AUV that was driven by price. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Interest expense was $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2021. Interest expense was $10.9 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to $11.3 million in the first six months of 2021. The decrease in interest expense for the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to lower average borrowings outstanding, partially offset by rising interest rates on floating rate debt.

Other non-operating income, net, was $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2021. Other non-operating income, net, was $2.7 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to $2.9 million in the first six months of 2021. Other non-operating income, net, is primarily comprised of the non-service cost components of pension and postretirement net period benefit costs.

Income tax expense was $15.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 22.3% compared to 25.8% for the same period of 2021. Income tax expense was $30.0 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to $31.4 million in the first six months of 2021. The effective tax rate was 23.7% in the first six months of 2022 compared to 25.3% in the same period of 2021. The effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 was lower compared to the same periods in 2021 primarily due to a reduction in our valuation allowance for capital loss carryforwards recorded in the second quarter of 2022.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Total Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) was $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. OCI was $14.1 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to $6.4 million in the first six months of 2021. The increase in OCI in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 was primarily driven by derivative gains. Derivative gain represents the mark-to-market value adjustments of our derivative assets and liabilities and the recognition of gains and losses previously deferred in OCI. Also impacting the change in OCI were foreign currency translation adjustments and pension and postretirement adjustments. Foreign currency translation adjustments represent the change in the U.S. dollar value of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Amounts in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 and 2021 were driven primarily by changes in the Canadian dollar. Pension and postretirement adjustments represent the amortization of actuarial gains and losses related to our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans.

Second-quarter 2022 net sales increased $26 million due to favorable AUV of $24 million and higher sales volumes of $2 million. For the first six months of 2022, net sales improved $41 million from the prior-year period due to favorable AUV of $48 million, partially offset by a negative impact of $7 million from lower sales volumes. The improvement in AUV in both the second quarter and first six months of 2022 was driven primarily by favorable price. Volumes for the second quarter and first six months of 2022 were negatively impacted by a reduction of inventory levels at certain distributor customers in early 2022.

 

Second-quarter 2022 operating income compared to the same period in 2021 benefited from a $21 million favorable AUV margin impact, offset by a $14 million increase in manufacturing costs, driven by elevated raw material and energy costs, a $4 million increase in selling expenses, a $2 million decrease in equity earnings driven by higher steel cost inflation and a $2 million increase in incentive compensation expense.

 

Operating income for the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 benefited from a $40 million favorable AUV margin impact, offset by a $21 million increase in manufacturing costs, driven by increased raw material and energy costs, a $9 million increase in selling expenses in support of increased sales and growth initiatives, a $5 million decrease resulting from lower sales volumes, a $5 million decrease in equity earnings and a $2 million increase in incentive compensation expense.

Net sales increased $15 million and $31 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively. These increases were primarily due to improved performance from our recent acquisitions compared to the same periods in 2021, benefits from price increases and an increase in custom project sales.

 

Operating income for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was positively impacted by a $5 million increase in sales volumes and a $5 million reduction in intangible asset amortization. These increases to operating income were offset

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

by a $14 million increase in acquisition-related expenses and losses, primarily due to the change in the fair value of contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of Turf and Moz, and higher selling expenses of $1 million.

 

Operating income for the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was positively impacted by a $14 million increase in sales volumes and a $9 million reduction in intangible asset amortization. These increases to operating income were offset by a $13 million increase in acquisition-related expenses and losses, primarily due to the change in the fair value of contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of Turf and Moz, and higher selling expenses of $5 million, primarily related to additional investments in selling capabilities and incentive compensation.

Unallocated Corporate

Unallocated Corporate operating loss was $1 million in the second quarter of 2022 and 2021. Unallocated Corporate operating loss was $2 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to $3 million in the first six months of 2021.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Cash Flow

Operating activities for the first six months of 2022 provided $63.1 million of cash, compared to $81.9 million in the first six months of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to negative working capital changes in receivables and inventory, primarily due to timing, partially offset by higher cash earnings.

Net cash used by investing activities was $1.6 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to $6.8 million in the first six months of 2021. The favorable change in cash compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to the absence of the purchase price adjustments paid to Knauf and lower purchases of property, plant and equipment, partially offset by a decrease in dividends from WAVE.

Net cash used for financing activities was $80.2 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to $93.4 million in the first six months of 2021. The favorable change in cash was primarily due to lower debt repayments, partially offset by an increase in repurchases of outstanding common stock and payments of acquisition-related contingent consideration in 2022.

Liquidity

Our liquidity needs for operations vary throughout the year. We retain lines of credit to facilitate our seasonal cash flow needs, since cash flow is historically lower during the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year. We have a $1,000.0 million variable rate senior credit facility, which is comprised of a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (with a $150.0 million sublimit for letters of credit) and a $500.0 million Term Loan A. The revolving credit facility and Term Loan A are currently priced at 1.25% over LIBOR. The senior credit facility also has a $25.0 million letter of credit facility, also known as our bi-lateral facility. The revolving credit facility and Term Loan A mature in September 2024. The $1,000.0 million senior credit facility is secured by the capital stock of material U.S. subsidiaries and a pledge of 65% of the stock of our material first-tier foreign subsidiary in Canada. The unpaid balances of the revolving credit facility and Term Loan A may be prepaid without penalty at the maturity of their respective interest reset periods. Any principal amounts paid on the Term Loan A may not be re-borrowed.

As of June 30, 2022, total borrowings outstanding under our senior credit facility were $456.2 million under Term Loan A and $215.0 million under the revolving credit facility.

The senior credit facility includes two financial covenants that require the ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to consolidated cash interest expense minus cash consolidated interest income to be greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0 and requires the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness, minus AWI and domestic subsidiary unrestricted cash and cash equivalents up to $100 million, to EBITDA to be less than or equal to 3.75 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants of the senior credit facility.

Under the terms of our interest rate swaps above, we pay a fixed rate monthly and receive 1-month LIBOR, inclusive of a 0% floor.

 

These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges against changes in LIBOR for a portion of our variable rate debt.
 

We utilize lines of credit and other commercial commitments to ensure that adequate funds are available to meet operating requirements. Letters of credit are currently arranged through our revolving credit facility and our bi-lateral facility. Letters of credit may be issued to third party suppliers, insurance and financial institutions and typically can only be drawn upon in the event of AWI’s failure to pay its obligations to the beneficiary.

We believe cash on hand and cash generated from operations, together with borrowing capacity under our credit facility, will be adequate to address our near-term liquidity needs based on current expectations of our business operations, capital expenditures and scheduled payments of debt obligations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For information regarding our exposure to certain market risks, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures by our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our chief financial officer, as of June 30, 2022, our principal executive officer and our chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the second quarter of 2022, we changed our enterprise resource planning system. In connection with this change, we have updated the processes that comprise the Company's internal control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate related changes in the Company's systems and business processes. To date, this change has not had, and the Company does not believe it will have in the future, an adverse effect on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Except as disclosed above, there were no other material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Act) during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Includes shares reacquired through the withholding of shares to pay employee tax obligations upon the exercise of options or vesting of restricted shares previously granted under our long-term incentive plans.

On July 29, 2016, our Board of Directors approved our share repurchase program pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase up to $1,200.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through December 31, 2023 (the “Program”).

Repurchases under the Program may be made through open market, block and privately negotiated transactions, including Rule 10b5-1 plans, at such times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate, subject to market and business conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors. The Program does not obligate AWI to repurchase any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 0.6 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $55.0 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $86.06 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we repurchased 0.9 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $85.0 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $90.42 per share. Since inception, through June 30, 2022, we have repurchased 11.4 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $771.2 million, excluding commissions, or an average price of $67.37 per share.
