The entire organization has united to protect the safety of our employees and support our customers and communities, while still successfully running the business. Our focus remains on the health and safety of our employees, maintaining business operations, and executing on our plans to ensure continued long-term success for Masco.”

Compared to first quarter 2019, results for key financial measures, as adjusted for certain items (see Exhibit A) and with a normalized tax rate of 26 percent, were as follows:
- Gross margins increased 30 basis points to 34.8 percent compared to 34.5 percent
- Operating profit increased 11 percent to $228 million from $206 million
- Operating margins increased 80 basis points to 14.4 percent compared to 13.6 percent
- Income from continuing operations increased to $0.46 per share, compared to $0.37 per share
- Liquidity at the end of the first quarter was $1,767 million, including full availability on $1.0 billion revolving credit facility
- Repurchased 14.2 million shares in the quarter
- Plumbing Products’ net sales increased 2 percent (3 percent excluding the impact of foreign currency) due to strong sales of North American plumbing products
- Decorative Architectural Products’ net sales increased 9 percent, driven by strong sales of paint and other coatings products
“We are taking actions to reduce our expenses and preserve our strong liquidity by reducing our variable costs, implementing a hiring and wage freeze, delaying non-critical capital expenditures, and temporarily suspending our share repurchase activity,” continued Allman. “While our near-term results will be impacted, with our portfolio of lower ticket, repair and remodel-oriented products, we expect demand for our products will be solid as we recover from the pandemic. We believe our work over the past few years to improve our portfolio and strengthen our balance sheet has positioned Masco very well to weather this storm and create long-term shareholder value.”
