GRAPHIC CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 related to management’s expectations about future conditions. Actual business, market or other conditions may differ materially from management’s expectations and, accordingly, may affect our sales and profitability or other results and liquidity. Actual results may differ materially due to various other factors, including: economic conditions, such as the levels of new home and other construction activity, employment levels, the availability of mortgage, construction and other financing, mortgage and other interest rates, housing affordability and supply, the levels of foreclosures and home resales, currency exchange rates and consumer confidence; capital markets conditions and the availability of borrowings under our credit agreement or other financings; our substantial indebtedness and our ability to incur substantial additional indebtedness; competitive conditions, such as price, service and product competition; shortages in raw materials; changes in raw material and energy costs; volatility in the assumptions used to determine the funded status of our pension plans; the loss of one or more major customers and our customers’ ability to meet their financial obligations to us; capacity utilization rates for us and the industry; our ability to expand into new geographic markets and the stability of such markets; our ability to successfully operate the joint venture with Boral Limited, including risks that our joint venture partner, Boral Limited, may not fulfill its obligations as an investor or may take actions that are inconsistent with our objectives; our ability to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights; changes in laws or regulations, including environmental and safety regulations; the satisfactory performance of certain business functions by third party service providers; our ability to achieve anticipated savings from cost reduction programs; the outcome in contested litigation matters; the effects of acts of terrorism or war upon domestic and international economies and financial markets; and acts of God. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking information contained in this presentation. Additional information concerning these and other factors may be found in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2015. 2


GRAPHIC Stockholder Rights Plan and Protective Amendment USG’s Stockholder Rights Plan and Protective Amendment restricts beneficial ownership in excess of 4.9% We have a stockholder rights plan, or the Rights Plan, established under the terms of a rights agreement dated December 21, 2006, as amended, with Computershare Trust Company N.A., as Rights Agent, or the Rights Agreement. Our board of directors adopted the Rights Plan to protect our stockholders from coercive takeover practices or takeover bids that are inconsistent with their best interests. On March 22, 2013, our board of directors approved an amendment to the Rights Agreement in an effort to protect our net operating loss carryforwards, or NOL, carryforwards. Our stockholders ratified, on an advisory basis, the March 22, 2013 amendment to our Rights Agreement at our 2013 annual meeting of stockholders. On February 11, 2015, our board of directors approved another amendment to the Rights Agreement. The primary purpose of the foregoing amendments is to protect the value of the Company’s NOLs and related tax benefits. The Rights Agreement, as amended, provides that if any person becomes the beneficial owner of 4.9% or more of our common stock, stockholders other than the 4.9% triggering stockholder will have the right to purchase additional shares of our common stock at half the market price, thereby diluting the triggering stockholder; provided that stockholders whose beneficial ownership exceeded 4.9% of our common stock outstanding on February 11, 2015 will not be deemed to have triggered the Rights Agreement, as amended, so long as they do not thereafter acquire additional common stock other than in certain specified exempt transactions. The Company’s ability to use its NOLs could be substantially reduced if the Company experiences an “ownership change,” as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). The amendment adopted on February 11, 2015 maintains previously adopted protections and modifies, until March 22, 2016 (or such earlier time that the Board determines that no Tax Benefits (as defined in the Rights Agreement) may be carried forward or that the Rights Agreement is no longer necessary for the protection of Tax Benefits) (the “Special Period”), the definition of when a Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) will be deemed the “Beneficial Owner” of, and to “Beneficially Own,” securities under the Rights Agreement to align with the definition of ownership under Section 382 of the Code. Under the revised definition, during the Special Period, only acquisitions that would result in ownership of more than 4.9% of the Company’s then‐outstanding shares of common stock, as determined pursuant to Section 382 of the Code, would cause a stockholder to be deemed an “Acquiring Person,” subject to certain specified exempt transactions. Upon the expiration of the Special Period, the triggering threshold level under the Rights Plan will revert to the 15% level in effect prior to the amendment on March 22, 2013, and the definition of “Beneficial Owner” and “Beneficially Own” will revert to a definition that does not track Section 382 of the Code. On May 9, 2013, we filed an amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or the Protective Amendment, that restricts certain transfers of our common stock. The Protective Amendment is intended to protect the tax benefits of our NOL carryforwards. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the Protective Amendment's transfer restrictions would restrict any person from transferring our common stock (or any interest in our common stock) if the transfer would result in a stockholder (or several stockholders, in the aggregate, who hold their stock as a “group” under Section 382 of the Code) owning 4.9% or more of our common stock. Any direct or indirect transfer attempted in violation of the Protective Amendment would be void as of the date of the prohibited transfer as to the purported transferee, and the purported transferee would not be recognized as the owner of the shares attempted to be owned in violation of the Protective Amendment for any purpose, including for purposes of voting and receiving dividends or other distributions in respect of that common stock, or in the case of options, receiving our common stock in respect of their exercise. The Protective Amendment is effective until the earlier of (i) May 9, 2016, (ii) the repeal of Section 382 of the Code if our board of directors determines that the Protective Amendment is no longer necessary for the preservation of tax benefits, (iii) the first day of a taxable year as to which our board of directors determines that no tax benefits may be carried forward, or (iv) such other date as determined by our board of directors pursuant to the Protective Amendment. 3

GRAPHIC Q1 2015 CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOW $ Millions 3 months ended March 31, 2015 3 months ended March 31, 2014 Cash flow used for operations ($42) ($64) Capital expenditures ($29) ($34) Investments in joint ventures — ($557) Net proceeds from asset dispositions and other $1 $2 Adjusted cash flow used for investing activities 1 ($28) ($589) Cash flow used for financing activities ($29) ($1) Effect of exchange rate on cash ($3) ($1) Adjusted decrease in cash and cash equivalents 1 ($102) ($655) March 31, 2015 March 31, 2014 Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities $242 $297 Total liquidity $583 $618 Total debt $2,206 $2,343 1.For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the US GAAP measure of net cash used for investing activities was ($1) million.

GRAPHIC Non-GAAP Financial Measures In this presentation, the corporation’s financial results are provided both in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, the corporation presents the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating profit, operating profit adjusted for results of GTL and non-cash benefit in its mining operation, adjusted net income, adjusted equity income of USG Boral Building Products, or UBBP, normalized selling, general, and administrative expense, adjusted net sales and adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, which exclude certain items. In addition, adjusted operating profit on a consolidated basis includes the corporation’s equity method income from UBBP and USG’s other equity method investments, and adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis includes the corporation’s share of UBBP’s adjusted EBITDA. Further, management believes it is appropriate to exclude the indicated items from UBBP equity income because the resulting UBBP adjusted equity income can be used to evaluate the financial performance of UBBP. The non-GAAP financial measures are included as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP because management believes these non-GAAP financial measures help investors’ ability to analyze underlying trends in the corporation’s business, evaluate its performance relative to other companies in its industry and provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the corporation’s core operating results. Adjusted operating profit includes the adjusted equity method income from UBBP and USG’s income from other equity investments and adjusted EBITDA includes the corporation’s share of UBBP’s adjusted EBITDA because management views UBBP and its other equity investments as important businesses. In addition, the corporation uses adjusted operating profit and adjusted net income as components in the measurement of incentive compensation. The non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results and may vary from others in the industry. For further information related to the corporation’s use of non-GAAP financial measures, and the reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measures, see the schedules attached hereto. 16
