Exhibit 99.1
Armstrong World Industries Reports First-Quarter 2022 Results
Key First-Quarter Highlights
LANCASTER, Pa., April 26, 2022 -- Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (NYSE:AWI), a leader in the design, innovation and manufacture of ceiling and wall solutions in the Americas, today reported first-quarter 2022 financial results. The company drove net sales growth of 12% and operating income growth of 17%, primarily due to price over inflation gains and strong growth in the Architectural Specialties segment. These gains were partially offset by lower Mineral Fiber sales volumes and equity earnings, primarily due to reductions in distributor inventory levels.
“The double-digit topline growth we achieved is a testament to Armstrong's ability to achieve price ahead of inflation and our strong execution on the growth opportunities in our Architectural Specialties segment and with our digital and Healthy Spaces initiatives,” said Vic Grizzle, President and CEO of Armstrong World Industries. “We remain encouraged by sentiment supporting demand in the commercial construction market, and this, together with our investments for growth, supports our confidence in our outlook for the rest of 2022.”

* The Company uses non-GAAP adjusted measures in managing the business and believes the adjustments provide meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and are useful alternative measures of performance. Reconciliations of the most comparable GAAP measure are found in the tables at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP figures are rounded to the nearest million with the exception of per share data.
First-quarter 2022 consolidated net sales increased 12.2% from prior-year results, driven primarily by favorable Average Unit Value (“AUV”) of $23 million and increased sales volumes from the Architectural Specialties segment of $16 million, which was partially offset by lower Mineral Fiber volumes of $8 million.
1
Operating income increased 16.8% from first-quarter 2021, primarily due to positive AUV in the Mineral Fiber segment, the benefit from higher sales volumes in the Architectural Specialties segment and a decrease in intangible asset amortization related to the Architectural Specialties segment. This favorability was partially offset by higher manufacturing costs, primarily raw materials and energy costs, increased selling expenses, the negative impact from lower Mineral Fiber sales volume and a reduction in equity earnings.

First-quarter 2022 Mineral Fiber net sales increased 7.7% due to $23 million of favorable AUV, partially offset by lower sales volumes of $8 million. Strong AUV performance resulted from favorable like-for-like pricing. The decrease in volumes was primarily driven by a reduction of inventory levels for certain distributor customers.
First-quarter Mineral Fiber operating income decreased 5.0% from prior-year results primarily due to a $7 million increase in manufacturing costs, primarily increased raw material and energy costs, a $6 million decrease resulting from lower sales volumes, a $5 million increase in selling expenses, primarily related to investments in growth initiatives and incentive compensation, and a $3 million decrease in equity earnings. The decrease in equity earnings was also primarily related to lower volumes, due primarily to the reduction of inventory levels for certain distributor customers. These costs were partially offset by $18 million of favorable AUV.

First-quarter 2022 net sales in Architectural Specialties increased 25.6% from prior-year results, driven by an increase in custom project sales, improved performance from recent acquisitions compared to the prior year and positive impacts from price increases.
The year-over-year increase in operating income was primarily driven by a $9 million benefit from net sales growth and a $4 million reduction in intangible asset amortization. These benefits were partially offset by a $2 million increase related to additional investments in selling capabilities and incentive compensation expense.
Unallocated Corporate
The Company reported an Unallocated Corporate operating loss of $1 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to a loss of $2 million in the prior year period.
Maintaining 2022 Outlook
2
“Despite a slow start to the year for Mineral Fiber volume from impacts of normalizing distributor inventory levels, our Architectural Specialties results and growth initiative performance was impressive,” said Brian MacNeal, AWI CFO. “Our team's demonstrated ability to price ahead of inflation, manage costs throughout the business and the traction of our growth investments gives us confidence in maintaining our full year guidance of net sales growth of 10% to 13% and adjusted EBITDA growth of 10% to 16% versus the prior year.”

Supplemental Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP Results (unaudited)
(Amounts in millions, except per share data)
To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company provides additional measures of performance adjusted to exclude the impact of certain discrete expenses and income including adjusted net sales, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) and adjusted free cash flow. Investors should not consider non-GAAP measures as a substitute for GAAP measures. The Company excludes certain acquisition related expenses (i.e. – changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, deferred compensation accruals, impact of adjustments related to the fair value of inventory and deferred revenue) for recent acquisitions. The deferred compensation accruals are for cash and stock awards that are recorded over each award's respective vesting period, as such payments are subject to the sellers’ and employees’ continued employment with the Company. The Company excludes all acquisition-related intangible amortization from adjusted earnings from continuing operations and in calculations of adjusted diluted earnings per share. Examples of other excluded items include plant closures, restructuring charges and related costs, impairments, separation costs, environmental site expenses and related insurance recoveries, endowment level charitable contributions, and certain other gains and losses. The Company also excludes income/expense from its U.S. Retirement Income Plan (“RIP”) in the non-GAAP results as it represents the actuarial net periodic benefit credit/cost recorded. For all periods presented, the Company was not required and did not make cash contributions to the RIP based on guidelines established by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, nor does the Company expect to make cash contributions to the plan in 2022. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash from operating and investing activities, adjusted to remove the impact of cash used or proceeds received for acquisitions and divestitures, environmental site expenses and related insurance recoveries. The Company believes adjusted free cash flow is useful because it provides insight into the amount of cash that the Company generates for discretionary uses, after expenditures for capital investments and adjustments for acquisitions and divestitures. The Company uses these adjusted performance measures in managing the business, including communications with its Board of Directors and employees, and believes that they provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons of operating performance between current results and results in prior periods. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are appropriate to enhance understanding of its past performance, as well as prospects for its future performance. The Company also uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow as factors in determining at-risk compensation for senior management. These non-GAAP measures may not be defined and calculated the same as similar measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of these adjustments to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in this release and on the Company’s website. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
In the following charts, numbers may not sum due to rounding. Non-GAAP figures are rounded to the nearest million and corresponding percentages are rounded to the nearest percent based on unrounded figures.
