Masco Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results

Masco Corporation (NYSE: MAS), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of branded home improvement and building products, reported its second quarter results.

“I am extremely proud of our team’s response during these unprecedented times,” said Masco President and CEO, Keith Allman. “We have worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of our employees, to support our customers and communities, and to effectively manage our business. We delivered strong top and bottom-line growth in our Decorative Architectural Products segment and better than anticipated performance in North American Plumbing,” continued Allman. “As restrictions eased, production at our closed facilities resumed, and demand for our products accelerated throughout the quarter. We leveraged increasing demand with focused cost control to expand margins in the quarter.”

2020 Second Quarter Commentary

  • On a reported basis, compared to second quarter 2019:
    • Net sales decreased 4 percent to $1.8 billion; in local currency, net sales decreased 3 percent
    • In local currency, North American sales were flat and international sales decreased 17 percent
    • Gross margins decreased 100 basis points to 35.6 percent from 36.6 percent
    • Operating profit decreased 2 percent to $339 million
    • Operating margins increased 30 basis points to 19.2 percent from 18.9 percent
    • Income from continuing operations increased to $0.80 per share, compared to $0.72 per share
  • Compared to second 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 decreased 90 basis points to 35.8 percent compared to 36.7 percent
    • Operating profit decreased 1 percent to $344 million from $349 million
    • Operating margins increased 50 basis points to 19.5 percent compared to 19.0 percent
    • Income from continuing operations increased to $0.84 per share, compared to $0.74 per share
  • Liquidity at the end of the second quarter was $2.1 billion, including full availability on $1.0 billion revolving credit facility
  • Plumbing Products’ net sales decreased 14 percent (13 percent excluding the impact of foreign currency) primarily due to lower volumes resulting from the impact of COVID-19
  • Decorative Architectural Products’ net sales increased 8 percent due to strong growth in paints and other coatings products

“We remain focused on employee safety and customer support as this pandemic continues to evolve,” said Allman. “While there are a number of unknowns, and assuming no additional shutdowns due to COVID, we expect strong demand for our products to continue in the third quarter. Additionally, our Board of Directors demonstrated confidence in our future by announcing its intention to raise our annual dividend 4 percent to $.56 per share beginning in the fourth quarter.”
