Armstrong World Industries, Inc. Research Reports
On July 28, 2014, Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (Armstrong) announced its Q2 2014 financial results. The Company's net sales during the quarter increased 0.5% YoY to $710.0 million, as favorable price and mix offset lower volumes in the Americas and Europe across all businesses. Despite the increase in sales, operating income and net income both declined amid increased manufacturing and input costs following rising lumber costs and the margin impact of lower volumes. Net income of the Company declined to $21.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, from $30.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in Q2 2013. Also, the sluggish demand witnessed in the first half led to the revision in the Company's outlook for the second half of the year. For the full year, management now expects sales in the $2.7 to $2.8 billion range, and adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $370 to $400 million.
