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

“We achieved another outstanding quarter,” said Masco President and CEO, Keith Allman. “We capitalized on the continued strong demand for our products to deliver exceptional sales growth, margin expansion and an 89 percent increase in adjusted earnings per share. We also continued our capital deployment of our strong free cash flow by returning $339 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the quarter. Finally, we further strengthened our balance sheet and reduced interest expense through the successful refinancing of our 2022, 2025 and 2026 debt maturities.”

  • On a reported basis, compared to first quarter 2020:
    • Net sales increased 25 percent to $1,970 million; in local currency and excluding acquisitions, net sales increased 19 percent
    • In local currency, North American sales increased 21 percent and international sales increased 27 percent
    • Gross margins increased 90 basis points to 35.5 percent from 34.6 percent
    • Operating profit increased 62 percent to $365 million
    • Operating margins increased 430 basis points to 18.5 percent from 14.2 percent
    • Income from continuing operations decreased to $0.34 per share, compared to $0.48 per share
  • Compared to first quarter 2020, results for key financial measures, as adjusted for certain items (see Exhibit A) and with a normalized tax rate of 25 percent, were as follows:
    • Gross margins increased 80 basis points to 35.6 percent compared to 34.8 percent

    • Operating margins increased 420 basis points to 18.6 percent compared to 14.4 percent

“Masco is off to a strong start in 2021,” said Allman. “Our markets remain strong, and we continue to demonstrate our ability to execute extremely well in this dynamic environment. We have taken actions and developed further plans to offset the raw material and logistics inflation that we are experiencing. While we anticipate these challenges will continue for the next few quarters, we believe we are well prepared and will continue to adjust to deliver value for our customers and our shareholders. Based on our strong performance in the first quarter and continued strength in our markets, we now anticipate our earnings per share for 2021 to be in the range of $3.50 to $3.70 per share, increased from our previous expectation of $3.25 to $3.45 per share,” concluded Allman.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains statements that reflect our views about our future performance and constitute “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “outlook,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “appear,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “assume,” “seek,” “forecast,” and similar references to future periods. Our views about future performance involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in our forward-looking statements. We caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.

Our future performance may be affected by the levels of residential repair and remodel activity, and to a lesser extent, new home construction, our ability to maintain our strong brands and reputation and to develop innovative products, our ability to maintain our competitive position in our industries, our reliance on key customers, the length and severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including its impact on domestic and international economic activity, consumer confidence, our production capabilities, our employees and our supply chain; the cost and availability of materials and the imposition of tariffs, our dependence on third-party suppliers, risks associated with our international operations and global strategies, our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of our strategic initiatives, our ability to successfully execute our acquisition strategy and integrate businesses that we have and may acquire, our ability to attract, develop and retain talented and diverse personnel, risks associated with our reliance on information systems and technology, and our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits from our investments in new technology. These and other factors are discussed in detail in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statement made by us speaks only as of the date on which it was made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.
