ceo message

2006 was a year of achievement at Owens Corning.

One day, as we think back on the proud history of Owens Corning, 2006 will be remembered as a year that opened a new chapter of global growth and innovation.

On November 1, 2006, Owens Corning relisted on the New York Stock Exchange following emergence from a six-year asbestos-related Chapter 11. While this was a difficult period for many of our stakeholders, we are proud that, upon emergence, we met each of the goals that we established when we began the process.

Specifically, we were committed to fairly compensating all individuals who were harmed in any way by exposure to an asbestos-containing product manufactured prior to 1972, while treating all of our creditors fairly and equitably through a process that was invisible to our customers as we continued to invest in our mutual growth. We were also committed to emerging from Chapter 11 as a stronger Company with an established platform for continued growth.

Having completed this important chapter in the history of our Company, the employees of Owens Corning have begun writing the next one.

2006 was a year of solid business results and decisive actions that position us well for the future

In 2006, Owens Corning reported record consolidated net sales of $6.461 billion, which reflected an increase of 2.2 percent compared with 2005. The Company’s adjusted earnings before interest and taxes equaled $569 million and were the second best in our history.

2006 was the safest year in our history as our Unconditional Commitment to Safety continued to pay dividends across our Company around the world.

We announced our intention to form a joint venture with Saint-Gobain to accelerate our global growth by bringing together the resources of two world leaders in glass fiber composite products, systems and solutions. This strategic initiative, which will be transformational for our Company, will deliver increased customer value through improved technology, an expanded range of glass fiber reinforcement products and a strengthened presence in developed and emerging markets.

Owens Corning took aggressive actions in its Other Building Materials and Services segment to improve its operating performance. We expanded the global presence of our rapidly growing Cultured Stone® business with a European acquisition. At the same time, we focused our services business to capitalize on the growth of our successful franchising model, and exited our HOMExperts business.

In February of 2007, we announced that we were exploring strategic alternatives for two business units. Specifically our Siding Solutions business, which consists of our vinyl siding manufacturing operations and Norandex/Reynolds distribution business, and Fabwel, a business that produces and fabricates composite components and sidewalls for recreational vehicles and cargo trailers.

In what promises to be the biggest innovation in residential roofing since the introduction of the in-line manufacturing process for laminate shingles, we introduced our newest high-end product line – the Duration Series shingle with SureNail® technology. Duration provides the homeowner with industry-leading aesthetics and performance, the roofing contractor with labor productivity, and our distribution channels with improved supply chain economics. This innovation will fundamentally change the position of our customers within the roofing industry and deliver improved results for our roofing business.

       Michael H.Thaman, Chairman of the Board and Chief Financial Officer

Our Company is uniquely positioned to take advantage of our world’s need for increased energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction. Our insulation products are a key part of the solution to meet the growing recognition that energy efficiency in buildings must be part of any effective greenhouse gas reduction strategy. A recent report by McKinsey & Company stated that insulation is “the single most cost-effective greenhouse gas abatement measure.”* Our glass fiber reinforcement products are critical in producing high-performing, light-weight composites for vehicles, and are the preferred solution for wind-blade manufacturers to make wind a larger part of the global energy supply. We will continue to translate our knowledge of energy efficiency into value for our customers while improving the sustainability of our own processes.

No discussion of our Company and our future would be complete without an acknowledgement of Mike Thaman, Owens Corning’s chairman of the Board and chief financial officer. Mike has been my business partner since 2002 and has played an integral role in every facet of our Company during that time. I am very pleased that he has been selected to become my successor upon my retirement by the end of 2007. He is ideally suited to lead Owens Corning into the future.

As stewards of our Company, we understand and appreciate our role in creating shareholder value

Owens Corning is committed to delivering strong operational cash flows that foster growth and innovation. We will use this cash to reinvest in our core businesses, pursue strategic acquisitions and grow globally. We also intend to support total returns to our shareholders through our Board-approved share buy-back program. This is a balanced approach to the use of cash, and one that we believe will add value to our Company.

As we move forward, our approach to business will continue to be guided by a clear focus on sustainable growth led by the people of Owens Corning. Our extraordinary employees and the positive demographics of our diverse end-use markets combine to create a bright future for Owens Corning.

our heritage

Three pioneers who led to the founding of Owens Corning in 1938 were inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in May 2006 for inventing the process for making glass fibers in commercial quantities. That spirit of innovation continued in 2006 with a focus on new product development, process improvements to reduce manufacturing costs and our environmental footprint, and empowering our people to find new ways of delivering improved productivity. Owens Corning invests $60 million each year in Science & Technology to deliver new solutions to its customers that transform markets over time.

LOGO

Owens Corning’s pipeline of innovation introduced new products in 2006 that continued its legacy of turning knowledge into value for customers. One example is HiPer-tex WindStrand reinforcements that make wind blades lighter and more durable in harnessing wind energy. New innovative products position Owens Corning for continued organic growth.

Our scientists are focused on continuously refreshing existing product lines with the addition of new performance-enhancing technologies that add customer

value. One example is the recent launch of the Duration Series roofing shingle with SureNail® technology, a breakthrough product that improves productivity for the installer. Owens Corning is also continuously refreshing the colors and textures of roofing shingles and Cultured Stone® products.

By also focusing research and development resources on processes, Owens Corning is finding new ways to eliminate steps, simplify operations, reduce resource intensity and improve the asset efficiency of its manufacturing operations.

our re-listing

Owens Corning emerged from asbestos-related Chapter 11 on Oct. 31, 2006. The company re-listed on the New York Stock Exchange and began trading on Nov. 1, 2006 under the symbol OC. Owens Corning emerged from Chapter 11 as a stronger company in a solid financial position with an investment-grade credit rating. The company has a balanced product portfolio in diverse end markets and strong cash flow generation. Most importantly, Owens Corning permanently resolved its asbestos liability with the establishment of a 524(g) Trust.

our products

Owens Corning’s insulation products help reduce the use of energy in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Fiberglass and foam insulations continue to save energy year after year for as long as they remain in place.

Improving the thermal efficiency of buildings with insulation also reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The products Owens Corning sells each year are responsible for the prevention of more than one billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions throughout their service life. That equals the annual emissions of 200 million passenger cars or the use of two billion barrels of oil.

Owens Corning is the leading provider of glass fiber reinforcements that are used to produce blades for wind turbines that generate electricity from a renewable resource. The company’s reinforcement products enable wind-blade fabricators to make longer blades that can generate more and less-expensive energy, making wind a more cost-effective energy resource.

Automotive components made from our composite materials make vehicles lighter, reduce noise and greatly improve fuel efficiency. Composites allow automakers to consolidate parts and reduce total system costs.

Owens Corning expanded globally with key acquisitions in Europe and Asia in 2006. The acquisition of a manufactured stone veneer producer in Europe and the launch of manufactured stone veneer production capacity in China furthers the company’s global expansion into the building materials market.

In 2006, Owens Corning announced a planned joint venture with Saint-Gobain that combines Owens Corning’s reinforcements business with Saint-Gobain’s reinforcements and composites businesses to form a new company. The joint venture will transform the market by delivering improved technologies and an expanded product range to customers around the world. Following regulatory approval, the joint venture is targeted to close in the second half of 2007.

Owens Corning also furthered its global footprint in Composite Solutions with the acquisition of composite and glass-fiber manufacturing capacity in Japan and doubling its glass fabric knitting production capacity in India.

 

sustainability

Owens Corning is committed to operating its businesses with three balanced outcomes: economic growth, environmental stewardship and social progress. As a result, the company creates value for its customers and shareholders, positively impacts the environment and enhances the lives of those with whom we interact.

Today’s awareness of environmental and energy conservation provides Owens Corning with a significant market growth opportunity. According to a study by the Harvard University School of Public Health, insulating existing homes to current standards would save 800 trillion BTUs each year, which is equal to 76 supertankers of crude oil.

Sustainability is at the heart of Owens Corning innovations. Company scientists have found new ways to increase the use of post-industrial and post-consumer recycled content in its products. These increases are the result of both enhanced product design and manufacturing processes, allowing more recycled content from additional sources. New processes in manufacturing have reduced the amount of energy used to make Owens Corning products by 18 percent since 2002.

safety

Owens Corning’s commitment to safety is unconditional. The company’s philosophy is that working safely is everyone’s responsibility. The acceptance of that responsibility by employees throughout the organization has substantially reduced its rate of injuries in recent years. Owens Corning has reduced its number of employee injuries by 70 percent since 2002.

Working safely is a condition of employment at Owens Corning because we want our employees to be able to live injury-free lives. We believe that all accidents are preventable, and actively take steps to reduce the risk of accidents in the workplace.

In 2006, Owens Corning strengthened its Lock-Tag-Try program in manufacturing facilities to ensure safety while machinery is in operation. In 2007, the company is implementing a new system for proactive safety management. The Safety Assessment for Effectiveness (SAFE) program will help our individual facilities measure, prioritize and improve their safety practices.

 

our communities

Owens Corning is committed to operating in ways that meet the needs of the present without compromising the world we leave to the future. The company extends that philosophy to each community where it maintains operations.

Recognizing the importance of investing in the future, Owens Corning sets education and housing as key priorities in community engagement. From our strong partnership with Habitat for Humanity to our national partnership with HomeAid America, Owens Corning is committed to helping families and children live well, learn and thrive.

composite solutions

transformational growth Owens Corning is taking aggressive steps to fully realize the strong growth potential in the glass fiber reinforcement industry by expanding its global reach and product offering.

composite solutions realized the synergies of the successful integration of the acquisition of a Japanese composites business in 2006. In addition to establishing a composite manufacturing base in Japan, the acquisition equipped Owens Corning with new technologies and innovative products that provided access to new markets.

Owens Corning has been delivering breakthrough products in glass reinforcements throughout its history. In 2006, the combination of complementary technologies gained through its Japanese acquisition continued this heritage of innovation. New High Performance Thermoplastic reinforcements transform the market for composite materials used in high-end electrical and electronic applications in automobiles, appliances and miniature electronic components. These new products provide game-changing technological advantages to design engineers, molders, compounders and original equipment manufacturers.

Owens Corning took the first step in 2006 toward a business initiative that may be viewed by history as the most transformational in its first 70 years. Owens Corning signed a joint-venture agreement with Saint-Gobain that would merge Owens Corning’s reinforcements business with Saint-Gobain’s reinforcements and composites businesses to form a global company in reinforcements and composite fabrics products with worldwide revenues of approximately $1.8 billion. The new company will be called OCV Reinforcements. Subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, the transaction is targeted to close in the second half of 2007.

Owned 60 percent by Owens Corning, OCV Reinforcements will serve customers with improved technology, an expanded product range and a strengthened presence in both developed and emerging markets. In addition to global growth, the joint venture will present significant opportunities for synergies in each functional area. OCV Reinforcements will further establish Composite Solutions as a core business of Owens Corning, balance the company’s portfolio of businesses and products, and deliver value to customers and shareholders.

global demand for composite materials continues to grow faster than the overall global economy because they offer improved performance in thousands of applications around the world when compared with other materials. Composites are more durable, light-weight, corrosion-resistant and energy efficient than traditional materials like aluminum, steel or wood. With these advantages, composites can help the world reduce its environmental footprint while delivering new innovations that enhance the lives of customers.

roofing and asphalt is focused on a growth strategy that will leverage its assets as an industry leader to strengthen its long-term financial performance.

Based on a recent survey by Marketing Analysts, Inc., Owens Corning shingles are America’s number one roofing brand. In 2007, the company will continue to invest in the strength of its brand loyalty with marketing programs that pull products through distribution channels.

Owens Corning’s new product development and marketing efforts center on continuing to develop the company’s aesthetic and application leadership in the roofing industry. Owens Corning is developing other roofing products that deliver the styles and colors of shingles that are most preferred by customers.

The Duration Series roofing shingle with SureNail® technology is a revolutionary Owens Corning innovation that completed its market testing in 2006.

Its fast-install extra-wide nailing zone improves productivity for contractors while providing them with a better-performing product to offer customers. The Duration Series shingle significantly strengthens the company’s roofing product portfolio with the unique combination of aesthetic appeal and industry-leading ease of application. The new product line is being rolled out to the market throughout 2007.

Laminated shingles, like the Duration Series, are the fastest-growing trend in the roofing industry. Owens Corning is aggressively converting contractors and builders to these advanced higher-margin shingles that perform better for the consumer.

product simplification and differentiation are two components of Owens Corning’s growth strategy in roofing products. The company has simplified its roofing product line to make selection choices easier for customers. New product developments like the Duration Series shingle differentiate Owens Corning roofing from the competition. Since labor comprises nearly two-thirds of the cost of installing a roof, the productivity savings from a product like Duration makes a significant difference for contractors. This helps ensure that Owens Corning will continue to be America’s most preferred roofing shingle.

footnotes to financial information

 

(a) 

As a result of the application of fresh-start accounting on October 31, 2006, the financial results of the Company for the two-month period ending December 31, 2006 are presented as “successor” and the financial results of the Company for the periods through October 31, 2006 are presented as “predecessor.” Because the successor Company is considered a new entity, there are no GAAP financial statements that combine the two periods in 2006. However, for the convenience of the reader, a column combining the results of these periods is included.

 

(b) 

When reviewing the operating performance of the Company with its Board of Directors and employees, management uses adjusted earnings before interest and income taxes. To calculate adjusted earnings before interest and taxes, management excludes certain items from net earnings and earnings before interest and taxes, including those related to the Company’s former Chapter 11 proceedings, former asbestos liabilities, and restructuring and other activities, so as to improve comparability over time. These items are further described in the five-year reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted earnings before interest and taxes presented on Page 20.
