“Our solid fourth quarter results reflect the successful execution of our strategic initiatives, including leveraging our brands, reducing our costs, improving our Installation and Cabinet segments and strengthening our balance sheet,” said Masco’s President and CEO, Tim Wadhams. “Our sales and margin growth represent strong performance across all of our operating segments, including a return to profitability in our Installation segment. We believe this momentum will continue into 2013.”

2012 Full-Year Commentary

• Net sales increased 4 percent to $7.7 billion, compared to 2011. Excluding currency, net sales increased 5 percent

• Compared to full-year 2011, results for key financial measures,as adjusted for certain items (see Exhibit B) and with a normalized tax rate of 36 percent, were as follows:

• Gross profit margins were 26.0 percent compared to 25.1 percent

• Operating profit margins were 6.1 percent compared to 4.4 percent

• Income from continuing operations was $0.32 per common share compared to $0.02 per common share

• Loss from continuing operations, as reported, was $(0.22) per common share compared to $(1.34) per common share in 2011

Subsequent Event

In early February we determined that our Danish ready-to-assemble cabinet business is not core to our long-term growth strategy and, accordingly, we have commenced a plan of disposition for this business. This business unit had sales of approximately $250 million in 2012.

Outlook 2013

“We expect new home construction to show strong growth in 2013, and anticipate repair and remodel to grow modestly, with big ticket items continuing to lag. Our focus this year is to successfully execute new product programs, improve profitability in Cabinets and Installation Services, and expand our brand leadership positions. We believe the actions we have taken over the past several years, including investing in our brands, reducing our cost structure and paying down debt, have strengthened our business. We believe these actions have positively positioned us to take advantage of the upturn in the housing cycle,” said Mr. Wadhams.
