                MASCO CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS



                          MASCO CORPORATION HIGHLIGHTS:

          SECOND QUARTER 2006

             o    Net sales from continuing operations increased three percent
                  to a second quarter record of $3.4 billion.

             o    Income from continuing operations was $289 million or $.72 per
                  common share, excluding a $78 million non-cash, pre-tax
                  impairment charge for financial investments and $26 million
                  pre-tax of costs and charges related to profit improvement
                  programs; including such charges, income was $217 million or
                  $.54 per common share.

             o    The Company returned $380 million to shareholders through
                  dividends and share repurchases.

             o    The Company had approximately $700 million in cash and
                  marketable securities at June 30, 2006.

         Taylor, Michigan (August 1, 2006) - Masco Corporation (NYSE: MAS) today
reported that net sales from continuing operations for the quarter ended June
30, 2006 increased three percent to a second quarter record of $3.4 billion
compared with $3.3 billion for the second quarter of 2005. North American net
sales increased four percent and International net sales were flat. In local
currencies, International net sales increased one percent compared with the
second quarter of 2005.

         Income from continuing operations, excluding the non-cash impairment
charge for financial investments and costs and charges related to profit
improvement programs in the second quarter of 2006, was $289 million or $.72 per
common share compared with $267 million or $.62 per common share for the
comparable period of 2005. The second quarters of 2006 and 2005 benefited from
net gains from the sale of financial investments of $.02 and $.04 per common
share, respectively.

         Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2006 was
$217 million or $.54 per common share, including a $78 million non-cash, pre-tax
impairment charge for financial investments and $26 million pre-tax of costs and
charges related to profit improvement programs.




         In the second quarter of 2006, the Company determined that a decline
was other-than-temporary in the estimated value of certain of its financial
investments. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $78 million non-cash, pre-tax
impairment charge for its investments, primarily related to Metaldyne
Corporation and the Heartland Industrial Partners private equity fund.

         Net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $219 million or $.54 per
common share and included $2 million of income related to discontinued
operations. Net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $274 million or $.64
per common share and included $7 million of income related to discontinued
operations.

         As part of its profit improvement programs, the Company announced a
plant closure in the Plumbing Products segment in January 2006. In the second
quarter of 2006, the Company incurred $11 million pre-tax of costs and charges
related to this plant closure and other profit improvement programs in the
Plumbing Products segment. In addition, the Company incurred $15 million pre-tax
of costs and charges related to the closure of a relatively small
ready-to-assemble cabinet manufacturing facility in the Cabinets and Related
Products segment. The Company expects to incur additional costs and charges
throughout 2006 for its profit improvement programs and currently anticipates
that total costs and charges related to these programs for the full-year 2006,
will aggregate approximately $70 million pre-tax, as previously announced.
Implementing these programs should improve the Company's earnings outlook for
2007 and beyond.

         While the Company's 2006 second quarter operating earnings exceeded its
expectations, nevertheless results continued to be adversely affected by
increases in commodity, energy and freight costs, as well as recent declines in
housing activity and a moderation in consumer spending, partially offset by
profit improvement programs and selling price increases. The Company has
implemented and continues to implement additional selling price increases in an
effort to offset commodity and energy-related cost increases.

         Assuming no further significant commodity and energy-related cost
increases and excluding costs and charges related to its profit improvement
programs and any other items, the Company continues to believe, based on current
business trends, that it will achieve 2006 full-year earnings from continuing
operations in a range of $2.40 to $2.50 per common share, as previously
announced. Including the $78 million non-cash, pre-tax ($.13 per common share)
impairment charge for financial investments and the costs and charges related to
plant closures and other profit improvement programs, which are expected to
aggregate approximately $70 million pre-tax ($.11 per common share) in 2006,
earnings from continuing operations are expected to be in a range of $2.16 to
$2.26 per common share.

         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.

                        BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

SECOND QUARTER 2006

o    Net sales from continuing operations increased three percent with North
     American sales increasing four percent. International sales were flat; in
     local currencies, International sales increased one percent compared with
     the second quarter of 2005. Net sales growth slowed from the 2006 first
     quarter rate as a result of recent declines in housing activity and a
     moderation in consumer spending.

o    Key retailer sales from continuing operations increased one percent in the
     2006 second quarter compared with an increase of nine percent in the 2005
     second quarter and an increase of seven percent in the 2006 first quarter.
     The Company believes that retail sales in the second quarter of 2006 were
     negatively impacted by higher energy costs, which adversely affected
     consumers, particularly those with lower incomes.

o    Sales of North American assembled cabinets and non-insulation installation
     products both were particularly strong with double-digit increases. Sales
     of major faucet brands were up a combined mid-single digit. Sales of
     certain products were negatively impacted by slowing housing starts and, in
     addition, Installation Services were impacted by shortages of materials.

o    While the Company's 2006 second quarter operating earnings exceeded its
     expectations, nevertheless results continued to be adversely affected by
     increases in commodity, energy and freight costs, as well as recent
     declines in housing activity and a moderation in consumer spending,
     partially offset by profit improvement programs and selling price
     increases. The Company has implemented and continues to implement
     additional selling price increases in an effort to offset continuing
     commodity and energy-related cost increases.

o    Sales changes by segment in the 2006 second quarter versus the 2005 second
     quarter were:

     -    Cabinets and Related Products sales increased three percent;

     -    Plumbing Products sales increased two percent;

     -    Installation and Other Services sales increased six percent;

     -    Decorative Architectural Products sales increased four percent; and

     -    Other Specialty Products sales declined two percent.

                        BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

SECOND QUARTER 2006 (CONTINUED)

o    Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2006, excluding
     the non-cash impairment charge for financial investments and the costs and
     charges related to profit improvement programs, was $289 million or $.72
     per common share. Income from continuing operations for the second quarter
     of 2005 was $267 million or $.62 per common share.

o    Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2006 was $217
     million or $.54 per common share, including a $78 million non-cash, pre-tax
     impairment charge for financial investments and $26 million pre-tax of
     costs and charges related to profit improvement programs.

o    Based on a review of new information from a private equity fund manager and
     the continued deterioration of conditions in the automotive supplier and
     transportation products markets, the Company determined that the decline in
     the estimated value of certain of its financial investments was
     other-than-temporary. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2006, the
     Company recognized a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge aggregating $78
     million for its investments, primarily related to Metaldyne Corporation and
     the Heartland Industrial Partners private equity fund.

o    As part of its profit improvement programs, the Company announced a plant
     closure in the Plumbing Products segment in January 2006. In the second
     quarter of 2006, the Company incurred $11 million ($28 million
     year-to-date) pre-tax of costs and charges related to this plant closure
     and other profit improvement programs in the Plumbing Products segment. In
     addition, in the second quarter of 2006, the Company incurred $15 million
     pre-tax of costs and charges related to the closure of a relatively small
     ready-to-assemble cabinet manufacturing facility in the Cabinets and
     Related Products segment.

o    The second quarters of 2006 and 2005 benefited from net gains from the sale
     of financial investments of $.02 and $.04 per common share, respectively.

o    The second quarters of 2006 and 2005 included currency transaction gains
     (losses) of $.01 and ($.02) per common share, respectively.

o    Net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $219 million or $.54 per
     common share and included $2 million of income related to discontinued
     operations. Net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $274 million or
     $.64 per common share and included $7 million of income related to
     discontinued operations.

                        BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

SECOND QUARTER 2006 (CONTINUED)

o    On January 1, 2003, the Company elected to prospectively change its method
     of accounting for stock-based compensation; accordingly, stock options
     granted, modified or settled subsequent to January 1, 2003 were accounted
     for using the fair value method and have been expensed in the Company's
     financial statements. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Share-Based
     Payment," ("SFAS No. 123R") and began recording expense for unvested stock
     options awarded prior to January 1, 2003 through the remaining vesting
     periods. The Company currently estimates that stock-based compensation
     expense for the full-year 2006 will approximate $100 million pre-tax
     compared with $75 million pre-tax for 2005.

o    Gross margins were 29.1 percent in the 2006 second quarter compared with
     29.5 percent in the 2005 second quarter. Operating profit margins, as
     reported, were 13.1 percent in the second quarter of 2006 compared with
     14.1 percent in the second quarter of 2005. Operating profit margins in the
     second quarter of 2006 were negatively affected by the costs and charges
     related to the Company's profit improvement programs. Excluding these
     charges of $26 million pre-tax in 2006 and the income regarding litigation
     settlement of $3 million pre-tax in 2005, operating profit margins were
     13.9 percent and 14.0 percent for the second quarters of 2006 and 2005,
     respectively.

o    SG&A expenses as a percent of sales, including general corporate expense,
     were 15.7 percent in the 2006 second quarter compared with 15.5 percent in
     the 2005 second quarter.

o    General corporate expense was 1.6 percent of sales in the second quarter of
     2006 compared with 1.5 percent in the comparable period of 2005.

o    In April 2006, the Company completed the sale of two relatively small
     businesses for net proceeds of $50 million; aggregate net sales for these
     businesses were $46 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and $11
     million in 2006 through the date of sale. The Company recognized a net
     gain of $2 million in the second quarter of 2006 from these transactions
     included in other, net, from continuing operations.

o    Accounts receivable days at the end of the second quarter were 49 days
     compared with 50 days a year ago.

                        BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

SECOND QUARTER 2006 (CONTINUED)

o    Inventory days at the end of the second quarter were 51 days compared with
     50 days a year ago.

o    Accounts payable days at the end of the second quarter were 36 days
     compared with 38 days a year ago.

o    Working capital at June 30, 2006 (defined as accounts receivable and
     inventories less accounts payable) was 18.1 percent of the last twelve
     months' sales compared with 17.8 percent a year earlier.

o    The Company's tax rate was 34.8 percent for the second quarter of 2006,
     compared with 35.5 percent for the comparable period of the prior year. The
     Company currently estimates that its tax rate for the full-year 2006 should
     approximate 34 to 35 percent. The Company's 2005 tax rate on income from
     continuing operations, excluding goodwill impairment charges and the
     adjustment of deferred taxes related to certain European operations, would
     have been 35 percent.

o    At the end of the quarter, the Company had a strong balance sheet with
     approximately $700 million in cash and marketable securities and $2 billion
     in unused bank lines.

o    Debt as a percent of total capitalization was 46 percent at June 30, 2006
     compared with 49 percent at June 30, 2005.

o    For the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, return on
     invested capital (as reported) was 12.9 percent and 11.7 percent,
     respectively. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005,
     return on invested capital (as reconciled) was 13.4 percent and 12.9
     percent, respectively. The Company continues to believe that, excluding the
     costs and charges related to the plant closures and other profit
     improvement programs, which are expected to aggregate approximately $70
     million pre-tax in 2006, it will approximate its 15 percent return on
     invested capital goal by the end of 2006, and its approximate 18 percent
     goal by 2010.

o    In May 2006, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
     up to 50 million shares for retirement of the Company's common stock in
     open-market transactions or otherwise, replacing the previous Board of
     Directors' authorization established in 2005.

                        BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

SECOND QUARTER 2006 (CONCLUDED)

o    The Company repurchased and retired approximately 10 million shares of
     Company common stock in each of the first and second quarters of 2006. The
     Company had approximately 45 million common shares remaining under its
     repurchase authorization at June 30, 2006.

o    The Company's diluted common shares for purposes of calculating earnings
     per common share were 402 million for the second quarter of 2006 compared
     with 430 million for the second quarter of 2005.

FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK

o    The Company continues to believe that it will achieve mid-single digit
     organic sales growth in 2006. The Company's previously communicated
     full-year earnings guidance of $2.40 to $2.50 per common share was based on
     housing starts declining five percent from 2005 levels. Based on current
     business trends, the Company now expects that full-year housing starts will
     experience a greater decline than previously forecast of approximately
     eight percent and, as a result, its earnings may be closer to the lower-end
     of its guidance range of $2.40 to $2.50 per common share. This guidance
     includes share repurchases of 20 million common shares through June 30,
     2006 and assumes no additional share repurchases, no further significant
     commodity and energy-related cost increases, and excludes costs and charges
     related to profit improvement programs and any other items.

o    The Company expects to incur additional costs and charges throughout 2006
     for its profit improvement programs and currently anticipates that total
     costs and charges related to these programs for the full-year 2006 will
     aggregate approximately $70 million pre-tax, as previously announced.
     Including this $70 million of anticipated costs ($.11 per common share),
     and the non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge for financial investments of
     $78 million ($.13 per common share), earnings from continuing operations
     are expected to be in a range of $2.16 to $2.26 per common share for the
     full-year 2006.

o    As previously announced the Company now provides annual earnings guidance
     and will no longer provide quarterly earnings guidance.

                        BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK (CONCLUDED)

o    The Company expects to continue to return a minimum of $1 billion annually
     to shareholders, on average, through dividends and share repurchases as
     part of its ongoing commitment to value creation. The Company has returned
     $3.6 billion to shareholders over the last three calendar years, including
     dividends and 97 million of share repurchases. In the second quarter of
     2006, the Company returned $380 million to shareholders through dividends
     and share repurchases and has returned $788 million in the first half of
     2006.

o    Diluted common shares for the computation of earnings per common share at
     July 1, 2006 are 398 million. This excludes the impact of any third quarter
     repurchases of common stock.

                     NOTES TO CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF INCOME
                            2006 & 2005 - BY QUARTER

NOTES:

- -    Operating results for the first and second quarters of 2006 include $17
     million pre-tax and $26 million pre-tax (including impairment of goodwill
     of $10 million), respectively, of costs and charges related to the
     Company's profit improvement programs.

- -    Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2006 includes a
     $78 million non-cash, pre-tax ($.13 per common share) impairment charge
     for certain investments primarily related to Metaldyne Corporation and
     Heartland Industrial Partners private equity fund.

- -    Operating results exclude operations which were sold in 2005, all of which
     were treated as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144,
     "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."

- -    Operating results for the fourth quarter of 2005 reflect a non-cash,
     pre-tax charge for goodwill impairment of $69 million ($69 million or $.16
     per common share, after tax) pertaining to European operations.

- -    Income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2005 includes $43
     million of pre-tax impairment charges ($.07 per common share, after tax)
     related to the Company's investments in certain marketable securities and
     private equity funds.

- -    Income from discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2005 ($.04 per
     common share, after tax) includes a net $10 million pre-tax gain from the
     sale of two businesses. Income from discontinued operations in the fourth
     quarter of 2005 includes a net $50 million pre-tax gain from the sale of
     two businesses.

- -    Per common share amounts for the first two quarters of 2006 and the four
     quarters of 2005 do not total to the per common share amount for the
     year-to-date primarily due to the timing of capital stock transactions.

NOTES:

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 in local currencies before taking into
account currency fluctuations.
