MASCO CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
     Second Quarter 2009
    Net sales from continuing operations declined 23 percent to $2.0 billion.
 
    Income from continuing operations, as reported, was $.15 per common share.
 
    The Company had over $900 million of cash at June 30, 2009.
Taylor, Mich., (July 27, 2009) Masco Corporation (NYSE: MAS) today reported that net sales from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 declined 23 percent to $2.0 billion compared with $2.6 billion for the second quarter of 2008. North American sales declined 21 percent and International sales declined 30 percent. In local currencies, International sales declined 17 percent compared with the second quarter of 2008.
The second quarter of 2009 results were adversely affected by significantly lower sales volume of new home construction products and services, as well as a continued decline in consumer spending for home improvement products in both North American and International markets, as well as a less favorable product mix. The negative market conditions were partially offset by increased sales volume of paints and stains, improved relationship between selling prices and commodity costs and the benefits associated with business rationalizations and other cost savings initiatives.
Income from continuing operations was $.15 per common share in the second quarter of 2009 compared to income from continuing operations of $.20 per common share in the second quarter of 2008.
“While market conditions remain very difficult, our second quarter operating performance was better than anticipated. Sales benefitted from new product introductions and market share gains, and we continue to see the positive impact on our cost structure of the rationalization initiatives that we have implemented across the Company. We very much appreciate the efforts of our employees, world-wide, who are making it all happen in an incredibly tough environment” said Masco’s CEO Tim Wadhams.
The Company continues to focus on the rationalization of its businesses, including business consolidations, plant closures, headcount reductions, system implementations and other initiatives. During the second quarters of 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred costs and charges of $22 million pre-tax ($.04 per common share, after tax) and $15 million pre-tax ($.03 per common share, after tax), respectively, related to these initiatives.

Outlook 2009
Business conditions remain difficult in the Company’s markets. The Company continues to estimate that 2009 housing starts will decline 40 percent to approximately 550,000 units. The Company also anticipates that consumer spending for home improvement products in North American and International markets will continue at depressed levels in the near-term.
While the unprecedented changes in the global economic and financial market environment make forecasting future business conditions extremely difficult, the Company currently estimates that its 2009 sales will decline approximately 18 to 22 percent compared to 2008. The Company’s previous guidance estimated that its full-year 2009 sales decline would be 20 to 25 percent compared to 2008.
The Company currently estimates that its 2009 full-year loss will be in a range of $(.05) to $(.25) per common share, reflecting the slightly improved sales forecast. The guidance also includes approximately $15 million pre-tax ($.03 per common share, after tax) of additional costs and charges for plans undertaken to further rationalize the Company’s business (resulting in a full-year total of approximately $85 million pre-tax, $.15 per common share after tax), but does not include any additional costs and charges that may result from the continued evaluation of the Company’s businesses or any other charges. The Company’s previous guidance was a loss in a range of $(.15) to $(.35) per common share for the full-year 2009.
While the Company expects a full-year loss, the guidance includes an estimate of income tax expense, principally related to income tax liabilities in certain jurisdictions where losses provide no tax benefit. As a result, quarterly and full-year results for 2009 will reflect unusual relationships between income taxes and income (loss) before income taxes. In the second quarter of 2009 the Company reported pre-tax income of $63 million and $1 million of tax expense. A normalized tax rate of 36 percent would have reduced second quarter 2009 earnings by $.06 per common share.
The Company estimates that 2009 free cash flow (cash from operations, after capital expenditures and before dividends) will be relatively strong and approximate $360 million. This compares with the Company’s previous guidance of free cash flow of approximately $300 million.
Although the Company is confident that the long-term fundamentals for the new home construction and home improvement markets are positive, the Company expects that market conditions will be extremely challenging over the next several quarters, given the continued uncertainty in the global economic and financial markets. The Company believes that its strong financial position (including cash of over $900 million at June 30, 2009, its ability to generate positive cash flow during 2009 and unused bank lines) together with its current strategy of re-aligning its cost structure, investing in leadership brands, driving innovation and re-engineering its supply chains, will allow it to drive long-term growth and create value for our shareholders.
Headquartered in Taylor, Michigan, Masco Corporation is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of home improvement and building products, as well as a leading provider of services that include the installation of insulation and other building products.

-   The Company presents information comparing results from one period to another excluding the results of businesses acquired in order to assess the performance of the underlying businesses and to assess to what extent acquisitions are driving growth.
 
-   The Company also presents information comparing results of International operations from one period to another using constant exchange rates. To present this information, current period results for foreign entities are converted into U.S. dollars using the prior period’s exchange rates, rather than exchange rates for the current period. The Company presents this information in order to assess how the underlying businesses performed local currencies before taking into account currency fluctuations.
 
-   The currency translation effect on North American net sales includes currency translation related to Canadian business units.
