Outlook 2008

Economic conditions remain difficult in a number of the Company’s markets. Housing starts declined 25 percent in 2007, due to excessive inventories of homes and less attractive mortgage terms. The Company expects a further decline in housing starts in 2008 and continued softness in sales of existing homes. In addition, the Company anticipates a decline in consumer spending for home improvement products and, notwithstanding recent activities by the Federal Reserve and the government to stimulate economic growth, the Company believes that 2008 will be a difficult year for the overall U.S. economy. In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company also experienced a softening of demand for certain of its International products due to declining European economies. As a result, the Company currently estimates that its 2008 sales will decline high-single to low-double digits compared with 2007.

operations, after capital expenditures and before dividends) will continue to be relatively strong and approximate $700 million. This guidance reflects the Company’s estimate that 2008 housing starts will decline an additional 25 to 33 percent, to a range of 900,000 to one million units, compared with 1.3 million units in 2007.

The Company also expects that consumer spending for home improvement products will continue to decline and that demand for certain of the Company’s International products, which increased five percent in local currencies in 2007, will moderate. In addition, the Company’s guidance reflects an estimated full-year 2008 tax rate of approximately 42 to 43 percent (due to the U.S. tax on the anticipated repatriation of foreign earnings to utilize favorable provisions of the U.S. tax law) which, compared to the Company’s normalized tax rate of approximately 36 percent, will reduce earnings by approximately $.11 per common share, as well as continued relatively higher costs for certain commodities, including copper and commodities impacted by energy costs.

The Company expects market conditions in its industry, in the next several quarters, to be very challenging. The Company is confident of its strategy of dividend increases and share repurchases while concentrating on organic growth, improving returns and generating superior cash flow. The Company’s strategy, together with the leveraging of the combined market strength of its retail service, distribution and installation capabilities, brands and scale, will allow Masco to continue to drive long-term growth and value for its 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.

MASCO CORPORATION
BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

•

During the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recognized non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges for goodwill and other intangible assets aggregating $227 million ($208 million or $.58 per common share, after tax). The impairment charges for goodwill and other intangible assets principally related to changes in the long-term outlook for certain business units in the Other Specialty Products segment and one business unit in the Plumbing Products segment.

For the fourth quarters of 2007 and 2006, one million and five million, respectively, of contingent common shares were not included in the computation of diluted (loss) per common share due to their anti-dilutive effect.

MASCO CORPORATION
BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Fourth Quarter 2007 (concluded)

•

Results benefited from net gains related to financial investments of $3 million pre-tax ($.01 per common share, after tax) and $8 million pre-tax ($.01 per common share, after tax) in the fourth quarters of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

•

Gross margins were 25.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared with 25.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006.

•

Operating (loss) profit margins, as reported, were (1.4) percent in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared with (1.9) percent in the fourth quarter of 2006.

•

SG&A expenses as a percent of sales, including general corporate expense, were 18.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007 compared with 16.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006, reflecting increased bad debt expense, principally related to the new home construction market, and increased severance and other employee separation-related costs, as well as lower sales volume.

The lower tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2006 was the result of the reinstatement of the research and development credit by Congress in the fourth quarter of 2006 and a change in the mix of taxable earnings and lower tax rates.

Full-Year 2007

•

MASCO CORPORATION
BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Full-Year 2007 (continued)

•

During 2007, the Company recognized non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges for goodwill and other intangible assets aggregating $227 million ($208 million or $.56 per common share, after tax). The impairment charges for goodwill and other intangible assets principally related to changes in the long-term outlook for certain business units in the Other Specialty Products segment and one business unit in the Plumbing Products segment.

•

During 2007, the Company recognized non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges for financial investments aggregating $22 million ($.04 per common share, after tax). During 2006, the Company recognized non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges for financial investments aggregating $101 million ($.16 per common share, after tax).

•

Full-year results benefited from net gains related to financial investments of $43 million pre-tax ($.07 per common share, after tax) and $34 million pre-tax ($.05 per common share, after tax) in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

•

Gross margins were 27.3 percent in 2007 compared with 27.6 percent in 2006. Operating profit margins, as reported, were 8.1 percent in 2007 compared with 9.0 percent in 2006.

•

SG&A expenses as a percent of sales, including general corporate expense, were 17.2 percent in 2007 compared with 16.1 percent in 2006.

MASCO CORPORATION
BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Full-Year 2007 (continued)

•

The Company’s reported tax rate on income from continuing operations, excluding the impairment charges for goodwill and other intangible assets was 36 percent in 2007 and 33 percent in 2006. The Company anticipates that its tax rate on income from continuing operations for 2008 will approximate 42 to 43 percent. The increase in the expected tax rate for 2008 is primarily due to U.S. tax on anticipated dividend distributions of low tax foreign earnings. These dividends are being distributed to utilize the favorable provisions of the U.S. income tax law that are scheduled to expire at December 31, 2008. The Company estimates that its tax rate on income from continuing operations for 2009 will approximate 35 to 36 percent.

•

Accounts receivable days at December 31, 2007 were 49 days compared with 50 days a year ago.

•

Working capital at December 31, 2007 and 2006 (defined as accounts receivable and inventories less accounts payable) was 15.4 percent of sales, and 16.1 percent of sales, respectively.

•

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, return on invested capital (ROIC) (as reported) was 8.6 percent and 9.8 percent, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, ROIC (as reconciled) was 10.3 percent and 12.4 percent, respectively. While the Company remains highly committed to the continued improvement in its ROIC, recent macro business trends have resulted in a reduction in operating profit over the last several quarters, which has negatively impacted ROIC. The Company continues to believe that it will achieve its long-term ROIC goal of 18 percent and will provide guidance as to the timing when there is more clarity in the recovery of the housing and home improvement markets.

•

Capital expenditures, including discontinued operations, were $248 million or 2.1 percent of sales in 2007, compared with $388 million or 3.1 percent of sales in 2006. Depreciation and amortization was $248 million in 2007 compared with $244 million in 2006.

MASCO CORPORATION
BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Full-Year 2007 (concluded)

•

During 2007, the Company repurchased 31 million shares (2 million in the fourth quarter of 2007) of Company common stock. The Company had 41 million common shares remaining at December 31, 2007 under its repurchase authorization.

•

During 2007, the Company returned $1.2 billion to shareholders through common share repurchases and dividends. For the five-year period (2003-2007) ended December 31, 2007, the Company has returned over $6 billion to shareholders through the repurchase of 157 million common shares and dividends.

•

In 2007, the Company increased its quarterly dividend by five percent from $.22 to $.23 per common share. The increased quarterly dividend reflects the Company’s favorable long-term outlook, strong balance sheet and cash flow and makes 2007 the 49^th consecutive year in which dividends have been increased.

•

The Company’s diluted common shares for purposes of calculating earnings per common share were 373 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared with 400 million for the year ended December 31, 2006.

•

The Company’s free cash flow (defined as cash from operations less capital expenditures and before dividends) for 2007 was approximately $980 million. For the five-year period (2003-2007) ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s free cash flow aggregated $5 billion.

•

The Company, as previously announced, acquired Erickson Construction Company and Guy Evans, Inc., which provide products and installation services to the new home construction market. The Company also acquired several relatively small installation service businesses. These acquisitions had annual net sales of over $200 million in 2006 and the total net purchase price of these acquisitions was $202 million.

•

During 2007, the Company also generated $108 million of cash from the net disposition of financial investments and $45 million from the net disposition of certain businesses.

Outlook for 2008

•

Economic conditions remain difficult in a number of the Company’s markets. Housing starts declined 25 percent in 2007, due to excessive inventories of homes and less attractive mortgage terms. The Company expects a further decline in housing starts in 2008 and continued softness in sales of existing homes. In addition, the Company anticipates a decline in consumer spending for home improvement products, and notwithstanding recent actions by the Federal Reserve and the government to stimulate economic growth, the Company believes that 2008 will be a difficult year for the overall U.S. economy. In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company also experienced a softening of demand for certain of its International products due to declining European economies. As a result, the Company currently estimates that the Company’s 2008 sales will decline high-single to low-double digits compared with 2007.

•

While forecasting future business conditions in the current uncertain economic environment remains challenging, the Company currently believes that 2008 earnings will be in a range of $.85 to $1.15 per common share and that free cash flow (cash from operations after capital expenditures, which are estimated at $240 million, and before dividends) will continue to be relatively strong and approximate $700 million which is two times the Company’s 2007 dividend payments of $347 million. This guidance reflects the Company’s estimate that 2008 housing starts will decline an additional 25 to 33 percent, to a range of 900,000 to one million units, compared with 1.3 million units in 2007. The Company also expects that consumer spending for home improvement products will continue to decline and that demand for certain of the Company’s International products, which increased five percent in local currencies in 2007, will moderate. In addition, the Company’s guidance reflects an estimated full-year 2008 tax rate of approximately 42 to 43 percent (due to the U.S. tax on the anticipated repatriation of foreign earnings to utilize favorable provisions of the U.S. tax law) which, compared to the Company’s normalized tax rate of 36 percent, will reduce earnings by approximately $.11 per common share, as well as continued relatively higher costs for certain commodities, including copper and commodities impacted by energy costs.

•

The Company expects to continue its strategy of returning a minimum of $1 billion annually to shareholders, on average, through share repurchases and dividends as part of its ongoing commitment to value creation. The Company has returned over $6 billion to shareholders over the last five calendar years, including the repurchase of 157 million common shares and dividends.

MASCO CORPORATION
BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Outlook for 2008 (concluded)

•

Based on the current market price for the Company’s common stock, diluted common shares for the computation of earnings per common share at January 1, 2008 were 360 million. This excludes the impact of any 2008 repurchases of common stock. Since January 1, 2008, the Company has repurchased three million common shares.
