Uncertainties Affecting Forward-Looking Statements
Our disclosures in this document and in other public documents and comments may contain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act.
Those statements provide our expectations or forecasts of future events, and can be identified by
our use of words such as anticipate, estimate, expect, project, intend, plan,
believe, outlook, etc. in discussions of future operating or financial performance or the
outcome of contingencies such as liabilities or legal proceedings.
Any of our forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. Actual results may differ
materially from our expected results. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties
because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future.
We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement beyond what is required under
applicable securities law.
Risks and uncertainties that affect our business, operations and financial condition should be
taken into account in evaluating any investment decision involving Armstrong World Industries,
Inc. It is not possible to predict or identify all factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from expected and historical results. The discussion in the Risk Factors
section within Item 1A is a summary of what we currently believe to be our most significant risk
factors. Related disclosures in subsequent 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K reports should also be consulted.

PART I
Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (AWI or the Company) is a Pennsylvania corporation
incorporated in 1891. We are a leading global producer of flooring products and ceiling systems
for use primarily in the construction and renovation of residential, commercial and institutional
buildings. We design, manufacture and sell flooring products (primarily resilient and wood) and
ceiling systems (primarily mineral fiber, fiberglass and metal) around the world. We also design,
manufacture and sell kitchen and bathroom cabinets in the U.S.
We maintain a website at http://www.armstrong.com. Information contained on our website is not
incorporated into this document. Annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q,
current reports on Form 8-K, all amendments to those reports and other information about us are
available free of charge through this website as soon as reasonably practicable after the reports
are electronically filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These materials are
also available from the SECs website at www.sec.gov.
In December 2000, AWI filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code in order to use the court-supervised reorganization process to achieve a resolution of our
asbestos liability. In October 2006, AWIs plan of reorganization (POR) became effective, and
AWI emerged from Chapter 11. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information about AWIs Chapter 11 case.
The Armstrong World Industries, Inc. Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust (Asbestos PI
Trust) and Armor TPG Holdings LLC (TPG) together hold more than 60% of AWIs outstanding shares
and have entered into a shareholders agreement pursuant to which the Asbestos PI Trust and TPG
have agreed to vote their shares together on certain matters.
Reportable Segments
We operate five business segments Resilient Flooring, Wood Flooring, Building Products, Cabinets,
and Unallocated Corporate. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 7
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Form
10-K for additional financial information on our reportable segments.
Markets
We are well positioned in the industry segments and markets in which we operateoften holding a
leadership or significant market share position. The major markets in which we compete are:
North American Residential. Our Resilient Flooring, Wood Flooring, Building Products and Cabinets
segments sell products for use in the home. Homeowners can choose from our vinyl and wood flooring
products, for which we are North Americas largest provider, or from our laminate and ceramic
flooring products. We compete directly with other domestic and international suppliers of these
products. Our flooring products also compete with carpet, which we do not offer. Our ceiling
products compete against mineral fiber and fiberglass products from other manufacturers, as well as
drywall. In the kitchen and bath areas, we compete with thousands of other cabinet manufacturers
that include large diversified corporations as well as small local craftsmen.
Our products are used in new home construction and existing home renovation work. Industry
estimates are that existing home renovation (also known as replacement / remodel) work represents
approximately two-thirds of the total North American residential market opportunity. Key U.S.
statistics that indicate market opportunity include existing home sales (a key indicator for
renovation opportunity), housing starts, housing completions, interest rates and consumer
confidence. For our Resilient Flooring and
Wood Flooring products, we believe there is some longer-term correlation between these statistics and
5
our revenue after reflecting a lag period between change in construction activity and our
operating results of several months. However, we believe that consumers preferences for product
type, style, color, availability and affordability also significantly affect our revenue. Further,
changes in inventory levels and product focus at national home centers, which are our largest
customers, can also significantly affect our revenue. Sales of our ceiling products for
residential use appear to follow the trend of existing home sales, with a several month lag period
between the change in existing home sales and our related operating results.
North American Commercial. Many of our products, primarily ceilings and Resilient Flooring, are
used in commercial and institutional buildings. Our revenue opportunities come from new
construction as well as renovation of existing buildings. Renovation work is estimated to
represent approximately two-thirds of the total North American commercial market opportunity. Most
of our revenue comes from four major segments of commercial building office, education, retail
and healthcare. We monitor U.S. construction starts and follow new projects. We have found that
our revenue from new construction can lag behind construction starts by as much as one year. We
also monitor office vacancy rates, gross domestic product (GDP) and general employment levels,
which can indicate movement in renovation and new construction opportunities. We believe that
these statistics, taking into account the time-lag effect, provide a reasonable indication of our
future revenue opportunity from commercial renovation and new construction.
Outside of North America. Most of our revenues generated outside of North America are in Europe
and are commercial in nature. For the countries in which we have significant revenue, we monitor
various national statistics (such as GDP) as well as known new projects. Revenues come primarily
from new construction and renovation work.
The following table provides an estimate of our segments 2010 net sales, by major markets.

Customers
We use our reputation, capabilities, service and brand recognition to develop long-standing
relationships with our customers. We principally sell products through building materials
distributors, who re-sell our products to retailers, builders, contractors, installers and others.
In the commercial sector, we also sell to several contractors and to subcontractors alliances. In
the North American retail channel, which sells to end-users in the residential and light commercial
segments, we have important relationships with national home centers such as The Home Depot, Inc.
and Lowes Companies, Inc. In the North American residential sector, we have important
relationships with major home builders and buying groups.
Approximately two-thirds of our consolidated net sales are to distributors. Sales to large home
centers account for approximately 15% of our sales in the Americas. The remainder of our sales are
to contractors and retailers.
No customer accounted for 10% or more of our total consolidated net sales during the last three
years.
Competition
We face strong competition in all of our businesses. Principal attributes of competition include
product performance, product styling, service and price. Competition in North America comes from
both domestic and international manufacturers. Additionally, some of our products compete with
alternative products or finishing solutions. Our resilient, laminate and wood flooring products
compete with carpet and ceramic products, and our ceiling products compete with drywall and exposed
structure (also known as open plenum). There is excess industry capacity for certain products in
some geographies, which tends to increase price competition. The following companies are our
primary competitors:
Flooring segments Amtico International, Inc., Beaulieu International Group, N.V., Boa-Franc,
Inc., Congoleum Corporation, Faus, Inc., Forbo Holding AG, Gerflor Group, Interface, Inc., IVC
Group, Krono Holding AG, Mannington Mills, Inc., Metroflor Corporation, Mullican Flooring, L.P.,
Mohawk Industries, Inc., Pfleiderer AG, Shaw Industries, Inc., Somerset Hardwood Flooring, Tarkett
AG and Wilsonart International.
Building Products CertainTeed, Chicago Metallic Corporation, Georgia-Pacific Corporation, Knauf
AMF GmbH & Co. KG, Lafarge SA, Odenwald Faserplattenwerk GmbH, Rockfon A/S, Saint-Gobain and USG
Corporation.
Cabinets American Woodmark Corporation, Fortune Brands, Inc. and Masco Corporation.
Raw Materials

such as doors and hardware |
7
We also purchase significant amounts of packaging materials and consume substantial amounts of
energy, such as electricity and natural gas, and water.
In general, adequate supplies of raw materials are available to all of our businesses. However,
availability can change for a number of reasons, including environmental conditions, laws and
regulations, shifts in demand by other industries competing for the same materials, transportation
disruptions and/or business decisions made by, or events that affect, our suppliers. There is no
assurance that a significant shortage of raw materials will not occur.
Prices for certain high usage raw materials can fluctuate dramatically. Cost increases for these
materials can have a significant adverse impact on our manufacturing costs. Given the
competitiveness of our markets, we may not be able to recover the increased manufacturing costs
through increasing selling prices to our customers.
Sourced Products
Some of the products that we sell are sourced from third parties. Our primary sourced products
include various flooring products (laminate, wood, vinyl sheet and tile and ceramic), specialized
ceiling products, and installation-related products and accessories for some of our manufactured
products. We purchase some of our sourced products from suppliers that are located outside of the
U.S., primarily from Asia and Europe. Sales of sourced products represented approximately 10% to
15% of our total consolidated revenue in 2010, 2009, and 2008.
In general, we believe we have adequate supplies of sourced products. However, we cannot guarantee
that a significant shortage will not occur.
Patent and Intellectual Property Rights
Patent protection is important to our business. Our competitive position has been enhanced by U.S.
and foreign patents on products and processes developed or perfected within AWI or obtained through
acquisitions and licenses. In addition, we benefit from our trade secrets for certain products and
processes.
Patent protection extends for varying periods according to the date of patent filing or grant and
the legal term of a patent in the various countries where patent protection is obtained. The
actual protection afforded by a patent, which can vary from country to country, depends upon the
type of patent, the scope of its coverage, and the availability of legal remedies. Although we
consider that, in the aggregate, our patents, licenses and trade secrets constitute a valuable
asset of material importance to our business, we do not regard any of our businesses as being
materially dependent upon any single patent or trade secret, or any group of related patents or
trade secrets.
Certain of our trademarks, including without limitation,

Employees
As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately 9,800 full-time and part-time employees worldwide.
Approximately 59% of the production and maintenance employees in the U.S. are represented by labor
unions. This percentage includes all production and maintenance employees at our plants and
warehouses where labor unions exist. Outside the U.S., most of our production employees are
covered by either industry-sponsored and/or state-sponsored collective bargaining mechanisms.
Research & Development
Research and development (R&D) activities are important and necessary in helping us improve our
products competitiveness. Principal R&D functions include the development and improvement of
products and manufacturing processes. We spent $32.9 million in 2010, $38.0 million in 2009 and
$38.8 million in 2008 on R&D activities worldwide.
Sustainability and Environmental Matters
The adoption of environmentally responsible building codes and standards such as the Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, rating system established by the U.S. Green Building
Council, has the potential to increase demand for products, systems and services that contribute to
building sustainable spaces. Many of our products meet the requirements for the award of LEED
credits, and we are continuing to develop new products, systems and services to address market
demand for products that enable construction of buildings that require fewer natural resources to
build, operate and maintain. Our competitors also have developed and introduced to the market more
environmentally responsible products.
We expect that there will be increased demand over time for products, systems and services that
meet regulatory and customer sustainability standards and preferences and decreased demand for
products that produce significant greenhouse gas emissions. We also believe that our ability to
continue to provide these products, systems and services to our customers will be necessary to
maintain our competitive position in the marketplace.
We are committed to complying with all environmental laws and regulations that are applicable to
our operations. Regulatory activities of particular importance to our operations include
proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
(CERCLA), and similar state Superfund laws. Significant activities include investigating
and/or remediating environmental contamination allegedly resulting from past industrial activity at
several current or former plant sites. In a few cases, we are one of several potentially
responsible parties (PRPs) which have potential liability for the required investigation and
remediation of each site. In those cases, we have agreed to jointly fund that required
investigation and remediation, while preserving our defenses to the liability. We may also have
rights of contribution or reimbursement from other parties or coverage under applicable insurance
policies. Most of our manufacturing and certain of our research facilities are affected by various
federal, state and local environmental requirements relating to the discharge of materials or the
protection of the environment. We make expenditures necessary for compliance with applicable
environmental requirements at each of our operating facilities.
We have not experienced a material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures or competitive
position as a result of environmental control legislation and regulations. Liabilities of $8.3
million and $6.3 million at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, were recorded
for environmental liabilities that we consider probable and for which a reasonable estimate of the
probable liability could be made. See Note 31 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Item
1A, Risk Factors, for information
regarding the possible effects that compliance with environmental laws and regulations and climate
change may have on our businesses and operating results.
9
As noted in the introductory section titled Uncertainties Affecting Forward-Looking Statements,
our business, operations and financial condition are subject to various risks. These risks should
be taken into account in evaluating any investment decision involving AWI. It is not possible to
predict or identify all factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected
and historical results. The following discussion is a summary of what we believe to be our most
significant risk factors. These and other factors could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those in forward-looking statements made in this report.
We try to reduce both the likelihood that these risks will affect our businesses and their
potential impact. However, no matter how accurate our foresight, how well we evaluate risks, and
how effective we are at mitigating them, it is still possible that one of these risks or some other
risks we have not identified could have serious consequences for us, and could cause a material
adverse effect on our business. See related discussions in this document and our other SEC filings
and our other public documents for more details and subsequent disclosures.
Our November 23, 2010 refinancing, which was part of a leveraged recapitalization plan, resulted in
a substantial amount of indebtedness which may adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to
operate our business, comply with debt covenants, make payments on our indebtedness and declare
dividends on our capital stock. The refinancing is described in more detail in the financial
condition and liquidity section of managements discussion and analysis (MD&A).
This indebtedness, combined with our other financial obligations and contractual commitments,
could:
|
|
|
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to our
indebtedness, and any failure to comply with the obligations of any of our debt
instruments, including restrictive covenants and borrowing conditions, could result in
an event of default under the agreements governing such indebtedness; |
|
|
|
make us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general economic, industry and
competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; |
|
|
|
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and
the industry in which we operate; |
|
|
|
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that are less
leveraged and therefore more able to take advantage of opportunities that our leverage
prevents us from exploiting; |
|
|
|
limit our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business
strategy or other purposes; |
|
|
|
restrict our ability to pay dividends on our capital stock; and |
|
|
|
adversely affect our credit ratings. |
Any of the above listed factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
To the extent that the indebtedness bears interest at floating rates, our sensitivity to interest
rate fluctuations will increase.
10
The agreements that govern the indebtedness contain a number of covenants that impose significant
operating and financial restrictions, including restrictions on our ability to engage in acts that
may be in our best long-term interests.
The agreements that govern the new indebtedness include covenants that, among other things,
restrict our ability to:
|
|
|
pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of our or our restricted
subsidiaries capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire our or our restricted
subsidiaries capital stock or subordinated debt or make certain other restricted
payments; |
|
|
|
consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our
assets; and |
|
|
|
create liens on certain assets to secure debt. |
Under the terms of our senior secured credit facility, we are required to maintain a specified
leverage ratio. Our ability to meet such ratio could be affected by events beyond our control, and
we cannot assure that we will meet such ratio. A breach of any of the restrictive covenants or
leverage ratio would result in a default under the senior secured credit facility. If any such
default occurs, the lenders under the senior secured credit facility may be able to elect to
declare all outstanding borrowings under such facilities, together with accrued interest and other
fees, to be immediately due and payable, or enforce their security interest, any of which would
result in an event of default under the notes. The lenders may also have the right in these
circumstances to terminate any commitments they have to provide further borrowings.
In addition to increased indebtedness levels due to the refinancing, we still may be able to incur
substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the risks associated with additional
leverage.
Even though we completed the refinancing and incurred the indebtedness described in these Risk
Factors and in the financial condition and liquidity section of MD&A, we still may be able to incur
substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although the agreements governing our
indebtedness contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions
are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and any indebtedness incurred
in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. If new debt is added to our existing
debt levels, the related risks that we face would be increased.
Our business is dependent on construction activity. Downturns in construction activity and global
economic conditions, such as weak consumer confidence and weak credit markets, adversely affect our
business and our profitability.
Our businesses have greater sales opportunities when construction activity is strong and,
conversely, have fewer opportunities when such activity declines. Commercial and residential
construction activity tends to increase when economies are strong, interest rates are favorable,
government spending is strong, and consumers are confident. However, the commercial and
residential construction cycles do not always move in tandem. When the economy is weak and access
to credit is limited, customers, distributors and suppliers are at heightened risk of defaulting on
their obligations. Since most of our sales are in the U.S., its economy is the most important for
our business, but conditions in Europe, Canada and Asia also are significant. A prolonged economic
downturn would exacerbate the adverse effect on our business, profitability, and the carrying value
of assets.
11
We require a significant amount of liquidity to fund our operations, and borrowing has increased
our vulnerability to negative unforeseen events.
Our liquidity needs vary throughout the year. There are no significant debt maturities until 2015
and 2017 under our existing credit facility. While our recapitalization increased our
indebtedness, we believe cash on hand, revolving credit facility capacity and cash generated from
operations will be adequate to address our foreseeable liquidity needs. In connection with the
recapitalization described above, Standard & Poors and Moodys have lowered their credit
ratings on AWI to BB- (negative) and B1, respectively; these downgrades may make future
borrowings more difficult or more expensive. If our business experiences materially negative
unforeseen events, we cannot assure we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund
our needs, maintain sufficient liquidity to operate and remain in compliance with our debt
covenants.
If the availability of raw materials and energy decreases, or the costs increase, and we are unable
to pass along increased costs, our operating results could be adversely affected.
The cost and availability of raw materials, packaging materials, energy and sourced products are
critical to our operations. For example, we use substantial quantities of natural gas,
petroleum-based raw materials, hardwood lumber and mineral fiber in our manufacturing operations.
The cost of some of these items has been volatile in recent years and availability sometimes has
been tight. We source some materials from a limited number of suppliers, which, among other
things, increases the risk of unavailability. Limited availability could cause us to reformulate
products or limit our production. The impact of increased costs is greatest where our ability to
pass along increased costs through price increases on our products is limited, whether due to
competitive pressures or other factors.
Labor disputes or work stoppages could hurt production and reduce sales and profits.
Most of our manufacturing employees are represented by unions and are covered by collective
bargaining or similar agreements that must be periodically renegotiated. Throughout 2011,
collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 1,500 employees at six plants are scheduled
to expire.
We anticipate that we will reach new contracts as current contracts expire. Failure to reach new
contracts could lead to work stoppages, which could hurt production, revenues, profits and customer
relations.
Our markets are highly competitive. Competition can reduce demand for our products or cause us to
lower prices. Failure to compete effectively by meeting consumer preferences maintaining market
share would adversely affect our results.
Our customers consider our products performance, product styling, customer service and price when
deciding whether to purchase our products. Shifting consumer preference in our highly competitive
markets, e.g. from residential vinyl products to other flooring products, styling preferences or
inability to offer new competitive performance features could hurt our sales. For certain products
there is excess industry capacity in several geographic markets, which tends to increase price
competition, as does competition from overseas competitors with lower cost structures.
Reduction in sales to key customers could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and
profits.
Some of our businesses are dependent on a few key customers, such as The Home Depot, Inc. and
Lowes Companies, Inc. The loss of sales to one of these major customers, or changes in our
business relationship with them, could adversely affect both our revenues and profits.
12
Changes in the political, regulatory and business environments of our international markets,
including changes in duty rates, trade regulations, and currency exchange fluctuations could have
an adverse effect on our business.
A significant portion of our products move in international trade, particularly among the U.S.,
Canada, Europe and Asia. Also, approximately 30% of our annual revenues are from operations
outside the U.S. Our international trade is subject to currency exchange fluctuations, trade
regulations, import duties, logistics costs, delays and other related risks. Our international
operations are also subject to variable tax rates, credit risks in emerging markets, political
risks, uncertain legal systems, potential restrictions on repatriating profits to the U.S., and
loss of sales to local competitors following currency devaluations in countries where we import
products for sale.
Our restructuring actions and LEAN initiatives may not achieve expected savings in our operating
costs or improved operating results.
We look for ways to make our operations more efficient and effective. We reduce, move and expand
our plants and operations as needed. Such actions involve substantial planning, often require
capital investments and may result in charges for fixed asset impairments or obsolescence and
substantial severance costs. We are committed to augmenting margin expansion through further cost
elimination. In early 2010 we stated that, through the aggressive application of LEAN practices
and projects to our manufacturing activities and to standardize, simplify and eliminate selling,
general and administrative (SG&A) programs and policies, we are seeking to remove at least $150
million of manufacturing and SG&A costs by 2013; however, there can be no assurance that we will be
able to achieve this level of cost savings. Even if we achieve these targeted savings, there is no
assurance that our net operating results in the future will improve by this amount. We can err in
planning and executing our actions, which could hurt our customer service and lead to unplanned
costs.
Adverse judgments in regulatory actions, product claims and other litigation could be costly.
Insurance coverage may not be available or adequate in all circumstances.
While we strive to ensure that our products comply with applicable government regulatory standards
and internal requirements, and that our products perform effectively and safely, customers from
time to time could claim that our products do not meet contractual requirements, and users could
claim to be harmed by use or misuse of our products. These claims could give rise to breach of
contract, warranty or recall claims, or claims for negligence, product liability, strict liability,
personal injury or property damage. The building materials industry has been subject to claims
relating to silicates, mold, PCBs, PVC, formaldehyde, toxic fumes, fire-retardant properties and
other issues, as well as for incidents of catastrophic loss, such as building fires. Product
liability insurance coverage may not be available or adequate in all circumstances to cover these
claims. In addition, claims may arise related to patent infringement, environmental liabilities,
distributor terminations, commercial contracts, antitrust or competition law, employment law and
employee benefits issues, and other regulatory matters. While we have in place processes and
policies to mitigate these risks and to investigate and address such claims as they arise, we
cannot predict the costs to defend or resolve such claims. We are also subject to regulatory
requirements regarding protection of the environment. Current and future environmental laws and
regulations, including those proposed concerning climate change, could increase our cost of
compliance, cost of energy, or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
13
Our principal shareholders could significantly influence our business and our affairs.
The Armstrong World Industries, Inc. Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust (Asbestos PI
Trust), formed in 2006 as part of AWIs emergence from bankruptcy, and Armor TPG Holdings LLC
(TPG) together hold more than 60% of the Companys outstanding shares and have entered into a
shareholders agreement pursuant to which the Asbestos PI Trust and TPG have agreed to vote their
shares together on certain matters. Such a large percentage of ownership could result in below
average equity market liquidity and affect matters which require approval by our shareholders.

During the first quarter of 2011, we announced the idling of a Wood Flooring manufacturing plant in
North Carolina effective April 30, 2011.
Sales and administrative offices are leased and/or owned worldwide, and leased facilities are
utilized to supplement our owned warehousing facilities.
Production capacity and the extent of utilization of our facilities are difficult to quantify with
certainty. In any one facility, utilization of our capacity varies periodically depending upon
demand for the product that is being manufactured. We believe our facilities are adequate and
suitable to support the business. Additional incremental investments in plant facilities are made
as appropriate to balance capacity with anticipated demand, improve quality and service, and reduce
costs.

On November 23, 2010, our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $13.74 per common
share, payable on December 10, 2010, to shareholders of record on December 3, 2010. This special
cash dividend resulted in an aggregate cash payment to our shareholders of approximately $800

Dividends are paid as and when declared by our Board of Directors and in accordance with
restrictions set forth in covenants contained in our debt agreements. In general, our debt
agreements allow us to make restricted payments, which include dividends and stock repurchases,
subject to certain dollar limitations and other restrictions and provided that we are in compliance
with the financial and other covenants of our debt agreements and meet certain liquidity
requirements after giving effect to the restricted payment. For further discussion of the debt
agreements, see the financial condition and liquidity section of the Managements Discussion and

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (AWI) is a Pennsylvania corporation incorporated in 1891. When
we refer to we, our and us in this report, we are referring to AWI and its subsidiaries.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the accompanying
notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements
based on our current expectations, which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual
results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from those referred to in such
forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation beyond what is required under applicable
securities law to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect current or
future events or circumstances, including those set forth in the section entitled Uncertainties
Affecting Forward-Looking Statements and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Financial performance metrics excluding the translation effect of changes in foreign exchange rates
are not in compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We believe that
this information improves the comparability of business performance by excluding the impact of
changes in foreign exchange rates when translating comparable foreign currency amounts. We
calculate the translation effect of foreign exchange rates by applying constant foreign exchange
rates to the equivalent periods reported foreign currency amounts. We believe that this non-GAAP
metric provides a clearer picture of our operating performance. Furthermore, management evaluates
the performance of the businesses excluding the effects of foreign exchange rates.
We maintain a website at http://www.armstrong.com. Information contained on our website is not
incorporated into this document. Annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q,
current reports on Form 8-K, all amendments to those reports and other information about us are
available free of charge through this website as soon as reasonably practicable after the reports
are electronically filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These materials are
also available from the SECs website at www.sec.gov.
OVERVIEW
We are a leading global producer of flooring products and ceiling systems for use primarily in the
construction and renovation of residential, commercial and institutional buildings. We design,
manufacture and sell flooring products (primarily resilient and wood) and ceiling systems
(primarily mineral fiber, fiberglass and metal) around the world. We also design, manufacture and
sell kitchen and bathroom cabinets in the U.S.
As of December 31, 2010 we operated 34 manufacturing plants in eight countries, including 22 plants
located throughout the U.S. In response to economic conditions during 2010, we closed two
previously idled facilities: a Resilient Flooring plant in Montreal, Canada and a Wood Flooring
plant in Center, Texas. We also closed strip mill operations (which had been previously idled) at
our Oneida, Tennessee plant, while continuing to manufacture parquet flooring at this location. We
closed a metal ceilings plant in St. Gallen, Switzerland and a Resilient Flooring plant in
Teesside, U.K. We also announced plans to close our Resilient Flooring plant in Holmsund, Sweden
and our Building Products plant in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania effective in 2011. During the first
quarter of 2011, we announced the idling of a Wood Flooring manufacturing plant in North Carolina
effective April 30, 2011.
Through Worthington Armstrong Venture (WAVE), our joint venture with Worthington Industries,
Inc., we also have an interest in eight additional plants in six countries that produce suspension
system (grid) products for our ceiling systems.
We report our financial results through the following segments: Resilient Flooring, Wood Flooring,
Building Products, Cabinets and Unallocated Corporate. See Results of Operations and Reportable
Segment Results for additional financial information on our consolidated company and our segments.

Factors Affecting Revenues
For an estimate of our segments 2010 net sales by major markets, see Markets in Item 1. Business
of this Form 10-K.
Markets. We compete in building material markets around the world. The majority of our sales are
in North America and Europe. During 2010, these markets experienced the following:
|
|
|
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2010 housing starts in the U.S. residential
market increased 6% compared to 2009 to 0.59 million units. Housing completions in the U.S.
declined by 18% in 2010 with approximately 0.66 million units completed. The National
Association of Realtors indicated that sales of existing homes decreased 5% to 4.92 million
units in 2010 from a level of 5.16 million units in 2009. |
|
|
|
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, for the value of new construction put in place, the
rate of decline in the North American key commercial market, in nominal dollar terms, was
19% in 2010 compared to 2009. Construction activity in the office, healthcare, education
and retail segments declined 29%, 12%, 15% and 26%, respectively, in 2010 compared to 2009.
These measures reflect the weakness of the new construction market. In addition, the
market is comprised of renovation and repair and replacement which have generally been
positive in 2010. |
|
|
|
Markets in Western European countries declined with modest growth in Central Europe and
continued weakness elsewhere. Eastern European markets grew. |
|
|
|
Activity in Pacific Rim markets, specifically India, China, and Australia, grew. |
Pricing Initiatives. We periodically modify prices in response to changes in costs for raw
materials and energy, and to market conditions and the competitive environment. In certain cases,
realized price increases are less than the announced price increases because of competitive
reactions and changing market conditions.
We announced the following recent pricing actions:
|
|
|
Resilient Flooring announced a pricing increase in the Americas effective March 2010
which was rescinded after competition did not follow. We then announced a pricing increase
in the Americas effective June 2010. We have also announced pricing increases in Europe
effective January 2011 and domestically effective February 2011. |
|
|
|
Wood Flooring announced price increases effective March and June of 2010. |
|

Building Products announced price increases for ceiling tile in the Americas and Europe
effective February 2010, for grid effective May 2010, again for ceiling tile in the
Americas effective August 2010, and again for grid in the Americas effective in October
2010. We have also announced price increases for ceiling tile and grid in the Americas
effective February 2011. |

|
|
Cabinets announced a price increase effective February 2011. |
We estimate pricing actions increased our total consolidated net sales in 2010 by approximately $8
million when compared to 2009.
Mix. Each of our businesses offers a wide assortment of products that are differentiated by
style/design and by performance attributes. Pricing for products within the assortment varies.
Changes in the relative quantity of products purchased at the different price points can affect
year-to-year comparisons of net sales and operating income. Compared to 2009, we estimate mix
changes increased our total consolidated net sales in 2010 by approximately $26 million.
20
Factors Affecting Operating Costs
Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses are comprised of direct production costs (principally
raw materials, labor and energy), manufacturing overhead costs, freight, costs to purchase sourced
products and selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses.
Our largest individual raw material expenditures are for lumber and veneers, PVC resins and
plasticizers. Natural gas is also a significant input cost. Fluctuations in the prices of these
inputs are generally beyond our control and have a direct impact on our financial results. In 2010
these input costs decreased operating income by approximately $26 million when compared to the same
periods of 2009.
We are committed to augmenting margin expansion through further cost elimination. In early 2010 we
stated that, through the aggressive application of LEAN practices and projects to our manufacturing
activities and to standardize, simplify and eliminate selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
programs and policies, we are seeking to remove at least $150 million of manufacturing and SG&A
costs by 2013. In 2010, we announced the closure of two Building Products plants, three Resilient
Flooring plants, and two of our previously idled Wood Products finished goods production
facilities. During the first quarter of 2011, we announced the idling of a Wood Flooring
manufacturing plant in North Carolina effective April 30, 2011. We will continue to evaluate the
efficiency of our manufacturing footprint in the U.S. and Europe. The charges associated with our
cost reduction initiatives may include severance and related termination benefits, fixed asset
write-downs, asset impairments and accelerated depreciation and could be material to our financial
statements. In 2010 we recorded expenses of approximately $72 million for these initiatives. Even
if we achieve these targeted savings, there is no assurance that our net operating results in the
future will improve by this amount. As indicated in our discussion of risk factors, errors in
planning or execution, as well as inflation and other external events, can cause unplanned costs or
adversely affect operating costs.
Intangible Asset Impairments. During the fourth quarters of 2010 and 2009, we recorded non-cash
impairment charges of $22.4 million and $18.0 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying amount
of our Wood Flooring trademarks to their estimated fair value. The fair value in both years was
negatively affected by lower expected future sales in the U.S. residential housing market. The
initial fair value for these intangible assets was determined in 2006 as part of fresh start
reporting. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
See also Results of Operations for further discussion of other significant items affecting
operating costs.
Factors Affecting Cash Flow
Typically, we generate cash in our operating activities. The amount of cash generated in a period
is dependent on a number of factors, including the amount of operating profit generated, changes in
the amount of working capital (such as inventory, receivables and payables) required to operate our
businesses, and investments in property, plant & equipment and computer software (PP&E).
During 2010 cash and cash equivalents decreased by $253.7 million. A special cash dividend of
$798.6 million, repayments of our previous debt of $430.0 million due to the refinancing of our
credit facility and capital expenditures of $92.7 million were partially offset by net cash from
operating activities of $190.4 million, $800 million due to the refinancing of our credit facility,
distributions from WAVE of $51.0 million and proceeds from asset sales of $25.8 million. During
2009 cash and cash equivalents increased by $214.5 million. Net cash from operating activities of
$260.2 million and distributions from WAVE of $53.5 million were partially offset by capital
expenditures of $105.1 million.
Employees
As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately 9,800 full-time and part-time employees worldwide.
This compares to approximately 10,800 employees as of December 31, 2009. The decline was primarily
due to the shutdown of finished goods production at two Wood Flooring plants and reductions in our
U.S. corporate operations.
21
During 2010 we negotiated three collective bargaining agreements, and we experienced no significant
work stoppages. Throughout 2011, collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 1,500
employees at six plants are scheduled to expire. One of these agreements covering approximately
500 employees expired in February 2011. These employees are continuing to work under the terms of
the expired contact.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
In preparing our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we are required to
make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our
estimates and assumptions on an on-going basis, using relevant internal and external information.
We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable. However, actual results may differ
from what was estimated and could have a significant impact on the financial statements.
We have identified the following as our critical accounting estimates. We have discussed these
critical accounting estimates with our Audit Committee.
Fresh-Start Reporting and Reorganization Value As part of our emergence from bankruptcy
on October 2, 2006, we implemented fresh-start reporting. Our assets, liabilities and equity were
adjusted to fair value. In this regard, our Consolidated Financial Statements for periods
subsequent to October 2, 2006 reflect a new basis of accounting and are not comparable to our
historical consolidated financial statements for periods prior to October 2, 2006.
The adoption of fresh-start reporting had a material effect on our Consolidated Financial
Statements and was based on assumptions that employed a high degree of judgment. See Note 1 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further information relative to our reorganization.
U.S. Pension Credit and Postretirement Benefit Costs We maintain pension and
postretirement plans throughout the world, with the most significant plans located in the U.S. Our
defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit costs are developed from actuarial valuations.
These valuations are calculated using a number of assumptions. Each assumption represents
managements best estimate of the future. The assumptions that have the most significant impact on
reported results are the discount rate, the estimated long-term return on plan assets and the
estimated inflation in health care costs. These assumptions are generally updated annually.
The discount rate is used to determine retirement plan liabilities and to determine the interest
cost component of net periodic pension and postretirement cost. Management utilizes the Hewitt
above median yield curve, which is a hypothetical AA yield curve comprised of a series of
annualized individual discount rates, as the primary basis for determining the discount rate. As
of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we assumed discount rates of 5.10% and 5.60%, respectively, for the
U.S. defined benefit pension plans. As of December 31, 2010, we assumed a discount rate of 4.90%
compared with a discount rate of 5.30% as of December 31, 2009 for the U.S. postretirement plans.
The effects of the change in discount rate will be amortized into earnings as described below. A
one-quarter percentage point decrease in the discount rates for the U.S. pension and postretirement
plans would decrease 2011 operating income by $5.0 million. A one-quarter percentage point
increase in the discount rates would increase 2011 operating income by $4.7 million.
We have two U.S. defined benefit pension plans, a qualified funded plan and a nonqualified unfunded
plan. For the qualified funded plan, the expected long-term return on plan assets represents a
long-term view of the future estimated investment return on plan assets. This estimate is
determined based on the target allocation of plan assets among asset classes and input from
investment professionals on the expected performance of the asset classes over 10 to 20 years.
Historical asset returns are monitored and considered when we develop our expected long-term return
on plan assets. An incremental component is added for the expected return from active management
based both on the plans experience and on historical information obtained from the plans
investment consultants. These
forecasted gross returns are reduced by estimated management fees and expenses, yielding a
long-term
22
rate of return of 7.25% per annum for 2011. The expected asset return assumption is
based upon a long-term view; therefore, we do not expect to see frequent changes from year to year
based on positive or negative actual performance in a single year. Over the 10 year period ended
December 31, 2010, the annualized return was approximately 7.0% compared to an average expected
return of 8.2%. The actual return on plan assets achieved for 2010 was 12.7%. The difference
between the actual and expected rate of return on plan assets will be amortized into earnings as
described below.
The expected long-term return on plan assets used in determining our 2010 U.S. pension credit was
8%. We have assumed a return on plan assets during 2011 of 7.25%. The decrease reflects the
planned change in our asset allocations. The 2011 expected return on assets was calculated in a
manner consistent with 2010. A one-quarter percentage point increase or decrease in this
assumption would increase or decrease 2011 operating income by approximately $5.3 million.
Contributions to the unfunded plan were $3.4 million in 2010 and were made on a monthly basis to
fund benefit payments. We estimate the 2011 contributions will be approximately $3.8 million. See
Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
The estimated inflation in health care costs represents a long-term view (5-10 years) of the
expected inflation in our postretirement health care costs. We separately estimate expected health
care cost increases for pre-65 retirees and post-65 retirees due to the influence of Medicare
coverage at age 65, as illustrated below:

The difference between the actual and expected health care costs is amortized into earnings as
described below. As of December 31, 2010, health care cost increases are estimated to decrease
ratably until 2019, after which they are estimated to be constant at 5%. A one percentage point
increase in the assumed health care cost trend rate would reduce 2011 operating income by $1.9
million, while a one percentage point decrease in the assumed health care cost trend rate would
increase 2011 operating income by $1.8 million. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for more information.
Actual results that differ from our various pension and postretirement plan estimates are captured
as actuarial gains/losses. When certain thresholds are met, the gains and losses are amortized
into future earnings over the expected remaining service period of plan participants, which is
approximately eight years. Changes in assumptions could have significant effects on earnings in
future years.
Impairments of Long-Lived Tangible and Intangible Assets In connection with our adoption
of fresh-start reporting upon emerging from Chapter 11 in 2006, all long-lived tangible and
intangible assets were adjusted to fair value. Our indefinite-lived intangibles are primarily
trademarks and brand names, which are integral to our corporate identity and expected to contribute
indefinitely to our corporate cash flows. Accordingly, they have been assigned an indefinite life.
We conduct our annual impairment test for non-amortizable intangible assets during the fourth
quarter, although we conduct interim impairment tests if events or circumstances indicate the asset
might be impaired. We conduct impairment tests for tangible assets and amortizable intangible
assets when indicators of impairment exist, such as operating losses and/or negative cash flows.
If an indication of impairment exists, we compare the carrying amount of the asset group to the
estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. The estimate of
an asset groups fair value is based on discounted future cash flows expected to be generated by
the asset group, or based on managements estimated exit price assuming the assets could be sold in
an orderly transaction between market participants or estimated salvage value if no sale is
assumed. If the fair value is less than the carrying value of the asset group, we record an
impairment charge equal to the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset
group.
23
The principal assumptions utilized in our impairment tests for tangible and definite-lived
intangible assets include discount rate and operating profit adjusted for depreciation and
amortization. The principal assumptions utilized in our impairment tests for indefinite-lived
intangible assets include revenue growth rate, discount rate and royalty rate. Revenue growth rate
and operating profit assumptions are consistent with those utilized in our operating plan and
strategic planning process. The discount rate assumption is calculated based upon an estimated
weighted average cost of equity which reflects the overall level of inherent risk and the rate of
return a market participant would expect to achieve. Methodologies used for valuing our tangible
and intangible assets did not change from prior periods.
The cash flow estimates used in applying our impairment tests are based on managements analysis of
information available at the time of the impairment test. Actual cash flows lower than the
estimate could lead to significant future impairments. If subsequent testing indicates that new
fair values have declined, the carrying values would be reduced and our future statements of income
would be affected.
During the fourth quarters of 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $22.4
million, $18.0 million and $25.4 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying amount of our Wood
Flooring trademarks to their estimated fair value based on the results of our annual impairment
test. The fair values were negatively affected by lower expected sales in the U.S. residential
housing market. The remaining carrying value of the Wood Flooring trademarks at December 31, 2010
was $42.0 million. We have assumed depressed market activity in 2011 but anticipate market
recovery starting in 2012. Continued declines in sales due to lower residential U.S. housing starts
and renovation activity compared to our expectations could lead to future material impairments of
Wood Flooring intangible assets.
In both 2010 and 2009 we tested the tangible assets and amortizable intangible assets of several
asset groups within our Building Products Americas, Building Products Europe, Resilient Flooring
Americas, and Resilient Flooring Europe reporting units for impairment due to negative earnings,
negative cash flows, plant closure announcements, or other indicators of impairment. We also
tested the tangible assets and amortizable intangible assets within our Cabinets reporting unit in
2009 and the tangible assets and amortizable intangible assets within our Unallocated Corporate and
Wood reporting units in 2010 due to negative earnings, negative cash flows or other indicators of
impairment. Based upon the impairment testing, the carrying value of the tangible assets for each
of these asset groups was determined to be recoverable (except as discussed below) because the
related undiscounted cash flows and/or fair value significantly exceeded the carrying value of
assets.
During the fourth quarter of 2009 we recorded a $3.0 million impairment charge on tangible assets,
primarily machinery and equipment, for one of the asset groups within our European Resilient
Flooring reporting unit. The fair values of land and buildings were determined by management
estimates of market prices and independent valuations of the land and buildings based on observable
market data available at that time. This data included recent sales and leases of comparable
properties with similar characteristics within the same local real estate market (considered Level
2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy). The fair values of machinery and equipment were determined
by management based on estimated sales and salvage value, which are unobservable inputs.
We also recorded an asset impairment charge of $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 in SG&A
expense for a European Resilient Flooring warehouse facility due to the decline in the commercial
property sector. The fair values were determined by management estimates of market prices
available at that time. This data included sales and leases of comparable properties within
similar real estate markets (considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy).
The remaining carrying value of tangible assets within the European Resilient Flooring business was
$89.2 million as of December 31, 2010, with land and buildings representing the significant
majority. Material uncertainties that could lead to a future material impairment charge include the
level of European commercial construction and renovation activity.
During 2010 management decided to exit our corporate flight operations. As a result, we recorded a
$6.1 million impairment charge in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense for
corporate aircraft in
2010. The fair values were determined by management estimates and an independent valuation based
on information available at that time. The valuation information included sales of similar
equipment and
24
estimates of market prices (considered Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy)
for these assets. We sold the corporate aircraft in the fourth quarter of 2010.
We cannot predict the occurrence of certain events that might lead to material impairment charges
in the future. Such events may include, but are not limited to, the impact of economic
environments, particularly related to the commercial and residential construction industries,
material adverse changes in relationships with significant customers, or strategic decisions made
in response to economic and competitive conditions.
See Notes 3 and 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Income Taxes Our effective tax rate is primarily determined based on our pre-tax income
and the statutory income tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The effective tax
rate also reflects the tax impacts of items treated differently for tax purposes than for financial
reporting purposes. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not
deductible in our tax returns, and some differences are temporary, reversing over time, such as
depreciation expense. These temporary differences create deferred income tax assets and
liabilities. Deferred income tax assets are also recorded for operating loss, capital loss and tax
credit carryforwards.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized by applying enacted tax rates to
temporary differences that exist as of the balance sheet date. We record valuation allowances to
reduce our deferred income tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred income tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2010, we have recorded
valuation allowances totaling $168.1 million for various federal, state and foreign net operating
loss, capital loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards. While we have considered future taxable
income in assessing the need for the valuation allowances based on our best available projections,
if these estimates and assumptions change in the future or if actual results differ from our
projections, we may be required to adjust our valuation allowances accordingly. Such adjustment
could be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
As further described in Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, our Consolidated Balance
Sheet as of December 31, 2010 includes net deferred income tax assets of $535.7 million. Included
in this amount are deferred federal and state income tax assets of $175.9 million and $62.0
million, respectively, relating to federal and state net operating loss carryforwards. These net
operating losses arose primarily as a result of the amounts paid to the Asbestos PI Trust in 2006.
We have concluded that all but $20.2 million of these income tax benefits are more likely than not
to be realized in the future.
Inherent in determining our effective tax rate are judgments regarding business plans and
expectations about future operations. These judgments include the amount and geographic mix of
future taxable income, limitations on usage of net operating loss carryforwards after emergence
from bankruptcy, potential tax law changes, the impact of ongoing or potential tax audits, earnings
repatriation plans and other future tax consequences.
We establish reserves for tax positions that management believes are supportable, but are
potentially subject to challenge by the applicable taxing authorities. We review these tax
uncertainties in light of the changing facts and circumstances and adjust them when warranted. We
have several tax audits in process in various jurisdictions.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS EFFECTIVE IN FUTURE PERIODS
There were no new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the fiscal year which have
had or are expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. For a
discussion of new accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Unless otherwise indicated, net sales in these results of operations are reported based upon the
location where the sale was made. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the current year presentation. Please refer to Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
a reconciliation of segment operating income to consolidated earnings from continuing operations
before income taxes.

Consolidated net sales remained flat for the year, as a decrease in volume was largely offset by
improved product mix.
Net sales in the Americas decreased approximately 1% as decreased residential volumes more than
offset price realization, improved product mix, and favorable foreign exchange of $15.1 million.
Net sales in the European markets declined approximately 4% as Building Products volume growth was
offset by less profitable mix in both Building Products and Resilient Flooring. In addition,
results reflect unfavorable foreign exchange of $20.7 million.
Net sales in the Pacific Rim increased approximately 26% primarily due to volume growth and
favorable foreign exchange of $12.9 million.
Cost of goods sold was 77.9% of net sales, compared to 77.7% for the same period in 2009. Compared
to the prior year, reduced manufacturing costs were offset by higher input costs.
SG&A expenses in 2010 were $531.3 million, or 19.2% of net sales, and $552.4 million, or 19.9% of
net sales, in 2009. The decreases were due to reductions in core SG&A expenses and a gain of $2.3
million on the collection of a non-current note receivable. In 2010 these decreases offset $14.7
million of CEO transition costs, a $6.1 million asset impairment charge related to the termination
of our flight operations and an asset impairment charge of $2.1 million for a European warehouse
facility.
Restructuring charges of $22.0 million were recorded in 2010 for severance and related costs for
several plant closures and reductions in SG&A personnel. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for further information.
Equity earnings from our WAVE joint venture were $45.0 million compared to $40.0 million in 2009.
See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Interest expense was $21.2 million compared to $17.7 million in 2009. The increase is primarily
due to the refinancing of our credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2010. In connection with
the refinancing we wrote off $3.8 million of unamortized debt financing costs related to our
previous credit facility to interest expense.
26
Other non-operating income was $8.0 million compared to $3.2 million in 2009. 2010 included $2.5
million of interest income related to laminate duty refunds received as a result of customs
litigation.
Income tax expense (benefit) was $55.7 million and $(2.5) million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The effective tax rate for 2010 was 83.5% as compared to a rate of -3.3% for 2009. The effective
tax rate for 2010 was significantly higher than 2009 due to the enactment of health care reform
legislation in March 2010 and the impact of the settlement of the Internal Revenue Service
examination in July 2009.

Net sales in the Americas declined primarily due to volume declines in residential and commercial
markets, partially offset by product mix improvement and favorable foreign exchange of $6.4
million.
Net sales in European markets declined on lower volume partially due to our exit in the fourth
quarter of 2010 of the residential flooring business, unfavorable product mix, and unfavorable
foreign exchange impact of $11.6 million.
Net sales in the Pacific Rim increased due to higher volume and favorable foreign exchange impact
of $6.2 million.
Operating income improved as reduced manufacturing and SG&A expenses more than offset the margin
impact of lower sales and raw material inflation. Operating income in 2010 was negatively impacted
by approximately $17 million of charges related to the restructuring of the European business, $2.1
million of asset impairment charges and approximately $7 million of costs related to the closure of
our Montreal, Canada facility, partially offset by approximately $7 million of income due to
laminate duty refunds. See Note 31 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information on the laminate duty refunds. Operating income in 2009 was negatively impacted by $4.7
million in cost reduction initiatives expenses and $3.0 million of asset impairment charges. The
European Resilient Flooring business incurred losses of $36.1 million for 2010 and $25.7 million
for the same period in 2009.

Net sales declined due to lower volume in residential markets partially offset by improvements in
product mix and price.
Operating income declined as the margin impact of lower sales, significant raw hardwood lumber
material inflation and the related inventory valuation impact of this inflation, offset reduced
manufacturing and SG&A expenses. Operating income in 2010 was negatively impacted by approximately
$16 million of fixed asset write downs and restructuring charges related to the closure of two
manufacturing facilities. Non-cash impairment charges of $22.4 and $18.0 million related to our
Wood Flooring trademarks also negatively impacted operating income in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Net sales in the Americas increased due to improved product mix, price realization and favorable
foreign exchange impact of $6.4 million.
Net sales in Europe declined as higher volume was offset by less profitable product mix and
unfavorable foreign exchange of $9.1 million.
Net sales in the Pacific Rim increased on higher volume and favorable foreign exchange of $6.7
million.
Operating income increased primarily due to the margin impact of increased sales, reduced
manufacturing expenses, and higher earnings from WAVE, partially offset by restructuring costs and
non-cash accelerated depreciation charges of approximately $21 million in 2010 and a loss on the
sale of our European metal ceilings contract installation business of $5.8 million in 2010.

Net sales decreased due to lower volume driven by continued declines in residential housing
markets.
Operating loss improved primarily due to reduced SG&A and manufacturing expenses, partially offset
by the margin impact of lower sales. Operating loss in 2009 was impacted by $6.1 million of
expenses related to the Auburn, Nebraska plant closure.

Unallocated Corporate
Unallocated corporate expense of $50.8 million increased from $41.2 million in the prior year. 2010
included $14.7 million for CEO transition costs, $6.1 million of asset impairment charges related
to the termination of our flight operations and $4.0 million of restructuring charges. 2010 was
negatively impacted compared to 2009 by a lower pension credit and costs related to the support of
our LEAN initiatives. 2009 included $31.6 million related to a change in control event which
resulted in accelerated stockbased compensation expense.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Cash Flow
Operating activities for 2010 provided $190.4 million of cash, a decrease of $69.8 million compared
to the $260.2 million of cash provided for 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower decreases
in inventories during 2010 compared to 2009, and a decrease in accounts receivables in 2009
compared to a small increase in 2010. These decreases were partially offset by increases in
accounts payable and accrued expenses across most business units, partially due to restructuring
accruals, compared to decreases in 2009.
Net cash used by investing activities was unchanged. Higher proceeds from asset sales and lower
capital expenditures were primarily offset by restricted cash received related to the financing of
our new West Virginia mineral wool plant.
Net cash used for financing activities was $409.0 million for 2010, primarily due to a cash
dividend of $798.6 million partially offset by $800 million of new debt that was used to repay our
$430 million credit agreement. In addition, we issued $35 million in bonds related to our new West
Virginia mineral wool plant. Net cash used for financing activities was $26.7 million for 2009
primarily due to scheduled debt repayments. See Liquidity section for further discussion of our
refinancing.
Liquidity
Our liquidity needs for operations vary throughout the year. We retain lines of credit to
facilitate our seasonal needs. On November 23, 2010, we refinanced our $1.1 billion credit
facility and executed a $1.05 billion senior credit facility arranged by Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., and Barclays Capital. This new facility
consists of a $250 million revolving credit facility (with a $150 million sublimit for letters of
credit), a $250 million Term Loan A and a $550 million Term Loan B. This $1.05 billion senior
credit facility is secured by U.S. personal property, the capital stock of material U.S.
subsidiaries, and a pledge of 65% of the stock of our material first tier foreign subsidiaries.
The senior credit facility includes two financial covenants which require the ratio of consolidated
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to consolidated cash
interest expense minus cash consolidated interest income (consolidated interest coverage ratio)
to be greater than or
equal to 3.0 to 1.0 and require the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness minus AWI and
domestic subsidiary unrestricted cash and cash equivalents up to $100M to consolidated EBITDA
(consolidated leverage ratio) to be less than or equal to 4.5 to 1.0 through June 30, 2012, 4.0
to 1.0 after June 30, 2012 through September 30, 2013 and 3.75 to 1.0 after September 30, 2013. As
of December 31, 2010 we were fully in compliance with these covenants. We believe that default
under these covenants is unlikely. Fully borrowing under our revolving credit facility would not
violate these covenants.
The Revolving Credit and Term Loan A portions are currently priced at a spread of 3.00% over LIBOR
and the Term Loan B portion is priced at 3.50% over LIBOR with a 1.50% LIBOR floor for its entire
term. The Term Loan A and Term Loan B were both fully drawn and are currently priced on a variable
interest rate basis. The unpaid balances of Term Loan A, the Revolving Credit and Term Loan B of
the credit facility may be prepaid without penalty at the maturity of their respective interest
reset periods. Any amounts prepaid on the Term Loan A or Term Loan B may not be reborrowed.
During 2010 we were in compliance with all covenants of the previous and current credit agreement.
Mandatory prepayments are required under the senior credit facility pursuant to an annual leverage
test starting with the year ending December 31, 2011 under which, if our consolidated leverage
ratio is greater
29
than 2.0 to 1.0, but less than 2.5 to 1.0, we would be required to make a
prepayment of 25% of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow as defined by the credit agreement. If our
consolidated leverage ratio is greater than 2.5 to 1.0, the prepayment amount would be 50% of
Consolidated Excess Cash Flow.
As of December 31, 2010, we had $315.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, $35.7 million in the
U.S. and $280.1 million in various foreign jurisdictions.
Our current debt rating from S&P is BB- (negative) and from Moodys is B1 (stable).
On December 10, 2010 we established a $100 million Receivables Securitization Program. AWI and its
subsidiary, Armstrong Hardwood Flooring Company, sold their U.S. receivables to Armstrong
Receivables Company LLC (ARC), a Delaware entity that is consolidated in these financial
statements. ARC financed those receivables through Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank,
with a maximum commitment of $100 million. In addition to the financing of receivables by Credit
Agricole, under the documentation establishing the program, Credit Agricole may also issue letters
of credit at the request of ARC. The purchase and letter of credit commitments under the program
expire in December 2013, subject to possible extensions thereafter.
On December 31, 2010, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $74.4 million, of which $37.3
million was issued under the revolving credit facility, $36.2 million related to the West Virginia
bond issue was issued under the securitization facility and $0.9 million of international
subsidiary letters of credit were issued by other banks. Letters of credit are issued to third
party suppliers, insurance and financial institutions and typically can only be drawn upon in the
event of AWIs failure to pay its obligations to the beneficiary.
As of December 31, 2010, our foreign subsidiaries had available lines of credit totaling $25.6
million of which $2.4 million was only available for letters of credit and guarantees. There were
no borrowings under these lines of credit as of December 31, 2010 leaving $23.2 million of unused
lines of credit available for foreign borrowings. There was $0.9 million of letters of credit
issued against these credit lines as of December 31, 2010 leaving additional letter of credit
availability of $1.5 million. However, these lines of credit are uncommitted, and poor operating
results or credit concerns at the related foreign subsidiaries could result in the lines being
withdrawn by the lenders. We have been able to maintain and, as needed, replace, credit facilities
to support our foreign operations.
On December 16, 2010 we issued $35.0 million of Recovery Zone Facility bonds through Jackson
County, West Virginia to finance the construction of our new mineral wool plant. These tax exempt
bonds are seven day variable rate demand notes backed by a letter of credit. These bonds mature in
2041. As of December 31, 2010 the $30 million of unspent proceeds must be used for expenditures
related to the construction of our new mineral wool plant and are therefore accounted for as
restricted cash within other non-current assets.
We paid a special cash dividend of $13.74 per common share on December 10, 2010. This special cash
dividend resulted in an aggregate payment to our shareholders of $798.6 million. Funding for this
dividend came from our debt refinancing and available cash. Payment of an additional $4.7 million
of the dividend is expected to be made when the underlying employee shares vest.
Our Board of Directors has approved the construction of a U.S. mineral wool plant to supply our
Building Products plants, the allocation of capital to double our Building Products production
capacity in China, and the construction of a China flooring plant. Total capital spending for
these projects of approximately $125 million will be incurred over several years, with most of the
spending occurring in 2011 and 2012.
We believe that cash on hand and generated from operations, together with lines of credit,
availability under our securitization program, and the availability under the $250 million
revolving credit facility, will be adequate to address our foreseeable liquidity needs based on
current expectations of our business operations, capital expenditures and scheduled payments of
debt obligations.

Consolidated net sales declined approximately 18% as significant volume declines more than offset
very modest improvements in price realization. Consolidated net sales were also negatively
impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange of $110.9 million.
Net sales in the Americas decreased approximately 16% as volume declined in all segments.
Net sales in the European markets decreased by approximately 24%, as net sales were impacted by
unfavorable foreign exchange of $83.2 million. Lower volume for Building Products was partially
offset by modestly improved product mix, while Resilient Flooring sales declined on lower volume.
Net sales in the Pacific Rim decreased approximately 13% on lower volumes and unfavorable foreign
exchange of $11.9 million.
Cost of goods sold was 77.7% of net sales in 2009 compared to 77.6% of net sales in 2008. Reduced
input and manufacturing costs offset the decline in sales.
SG&A expenses in 2009 were $552.4 million, or 19.9% of net sales, compared to $579.9 million, or
17.1% of net sales, in 2008. The change in expense was primarily due to reduced spending in all
segments, partially offset by $31.6 million accelerated stock-based compensation expense in 2009.
The increase in SG&A expenses as a percent of net sales was due to the significant decrease in net
sales.
Equity earnings, primarily from our WAVE joint venture, were $40.0 million in 2009, as compared to
$56.0 million in 2008. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
information.
Interest expense was $17.7 million in 2009, compared to $30.8 million in 2008. The reduction was
primarily due to a drop in interest rates and a reduction in the average bank credit facility
balance due to principal payments.
Income tax (benefit)/expense from continuing operations was $(2.5) million and $109.0 million in
2009 and 2008, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2009 was -3.3% as compared to a rate of
57.6% for 2008. The effective tax rate for 2009 was significantly lower than 2008 primarily due to
the recognition of tax benefits related to the settlement of the Internal Revenue Service audit
during July 2009.

Net sales in the Americas declined due to volume declines on broad weakness in residential and
commercial markets and unfavorable foreign exchange of $6.3 million. Modest price realization was
offset by a less profitable product mix.
Net sales in European markets declined due to lower volume and unfavorable foreign exchange of
$32.9 million.
Decreased sales in the Pacific Rim were due to unfavorable foreign exchange of $6.6 million and
lower volume partially offset by a better product mix.
Operating income increased as raw material deflation, lower freight costs, and reduced SG&A and
manufacturing expenses offset the margin impact of lower volume and less profitable product mix.
Operating income (loss) in 2009 and 2008, respectively, was negatively impacted by $4.7 million and
$14.1 million of cost reduction initiatives expense and $3.0 million and $2.9 million of fixed
asset impairments related to the European Resilient Flooring assets. Operating income included
European Resilient Flooring losses of $25.7 million for 2009 and $38.2 million for 2008.

operating loss in 2009 and 2008 were negatively impacted by non-cash impairment charges of $18.0
million and $25.4 million, respectively, related to our Wood trademarks.

The Americas net sales decreased primarily due to volume declines related to reduced commercial
construction activity and unfavorable foreign exchange of $6.7 million.
European sales declined due to significant volume declines in both Western and Eastern European
markets associated with reduced commercial construction activity and unfavorable foreign exchange
of $50.3 million.
Net sales in the Pacific Rim declined on volume declines across the region and unfavorable foreign
exchange of $5.3 million, partially offset by modest improvement in product mix.
Operating income fell by $83.8 million. The combination of volume declines and lower earnings from
WAVE offset the benefits of reduced manufacturing and SG&A expenses, lower freight and modest price
realization.

Net sales declined due to lower volume driven by continued declines in residential housing markets.
Operating loss increased $11.6 million primarily due to the margin impact from lower sales,
partially offset by lower manufacturing costs. In addition, 2009 operating profit was negatively
impacted by expenses of $6.1 million related to the Auburn, Nebraska plant closure.
Unallocated Corporate
Unallocated corporate expense of $41.2 million in 2009 increased from $2.9 million in 2008. The
increase was primarily due to accelerated stock-based compensation expense related to a change in
control event which resulted in a non-cash charge of $31.6 million and a lower U.S. pension credit.
CASH FLOW
As shown on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, our cash and cash equivalents balance
increased by $214.5 million in 2009 compared to a decrease of $159.3 million in 2008.
Operating activities in 2009 provided $260.2 million of net cash, primarily due to cash earnings
and a decrease in inventories across all business units of $105.9 million due to lower current and
projected sales activity. Operating activities in 2008 provided $214.2 million of net cash,
primarily due to cash earnings and distributions from WAVE of $61.0 million (which includes a
special distribution of $5.5 million). These items were partially offset by a reduction in
accounts payable and accrued expenses of
$88.2 million, primarily due to lower activity and the payment of incentive accruals during the
first quarter of 2008.
33
Investing activities in 2009 used $41.0 million of cash primarily due to capital expenditures of
$105.1 million, partially offset by distributions, classified as a return of investment, from WAVE
of $53.5 million. Investing activities in 2008 used $75.7 million of cash primarily due to
capital expenditures of $95.0 million, partially offset by distributions, classified as a return of
investment, from WAVE of $19.5 million.
Financing activities in 2009 used $26.7 million of cash primarily due scheduled debt repayments.
Financing activities in 2008 used $277.0 million primarily due to a special cash dividend of $256.4
million.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
No disclosures are required pursuant to Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As part of our normal operations, we enter into numerous contractual obligations that require
specific payments during the term of the various agreements. The following table includes amounts
ongoing under contractual obligations existing as of December 31, 2010. Only known payments that
are dependent solely on the passage of time are included. Obligations under contracts that contain
minimum payment amounts are shown at the minimum payment amount. Contracts that have variable
payment structures without minimum payments are excluded. Purchase orders that are entered into in
the normal course of business are also excluded because they are generally cancelable and not
legally binding. Amounts are presented below based upon the currently scheduled payment terms.
Actual future payments may differ from the amounts presented below due to changes in payment terms
or events affecting the payments.

(1) |
|
For debt with variable interest rates, we projected future interest payments based
on market based interest rate swap curves. |
|
(2) |
|
Lease obligations include the minimum payments due under existing agreements with
noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year. |
|
(3) |
|
Unconditional purchase obligations include (a) purchase contracts whereby we must
make guaranteed minimum payments of a specified amount regardless of how little material is
actually purchased (take or pay contracts) and (b) service agreements. Unconditional
purchase obligations exclude contracts entered into during the normal course of business that
are non-cancelable and have fixed per unit fees, but where the monthly commitment varies based
upon usage. Cellular phone contracts are an example. |
|
(4) |
|
Other obligations include payments under severance agreements. |
|
(5) |
|
Other obligations does not include $126.3 million of liabilities under ASC 740
Income Taxes. Due to the uncertainty relating to these positions, we are unable to
reasonably estimate the ultimate amount or timing of the settlement of these issues. See Note
16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. |
We have issued financial guarantees to assure payment on behalf of our subsidiaries in the event of
default on various debt and lease obligations in the table above. We have not issued any
guarantees on behalf of joint-venture or unrelated businesses.
We are party to supply agreements, some of which require the purchase of inventory remaining at the
supplier upon termination of the agreement. The last such agreement will expire in 2013. Had
these agreements terminated at December 31, 2010, Armstrong would have been obligated to purchase
approximately $9.6 million of inventory. Historically, due to production planning, we have not had
to
34
purchase material amounts of product at the end of similar contracts. Accordingly, no liability
has been recorded for these guarantees.
As part of our executive compensation plan, certain current and former executives participate in a
split-dollar insurance program where we are responsible for remitting the premiums. Since 1998,
the program was closed to new participants. As of December 31, 2010, we carried a cash surrender
value asset of $10.1 million related to this program. Should we discontinue making premium
payments, the insured executives have the right to the entire policy cash surrender value. In
light of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we believe it is inappropriate to make the premium payments for
two of the executives participating in this plan. As a result, we have required these two
individuals to make the premium payments to continue the policy.
We utilize lines of credit and other commercial commitments in order to ensure that adequate funds
are available to meet operating requirements. Letters of credit are issued to third party
suppliers, insurance and financial institutions and typically can only be drawn upon in the event
of our failure to pay our obligations to the beneficiary. This table summarizes the commitments we
have available in the U.S. for use as of December 31, 2010. Letters of credit are currently
arranged through our revolving credit facility or our securitization facility.

In addition, our foreign subsidiaries had available lines of credit totaling $25.6 million of which
$2.4 million was only available for letters of credit and guarantees. There were no borrowings
under these lines of credit as of December 31, 2010, leaving $23.2 million of unused lines of
credit available for foreign borrowings.
On December 31, 2010, we had a $250 million revolving credit facility with a $150 million sublimit
for letters of credit, of which $37.3 million was outstanding. There were $25 million of
borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Availability under this facility totaled $187.7
million as of December 31, 2010. We also have the $100 million securitization facility which as of
December 31, 2010 had letters of credit outstanding of $36.2 million and no borrowings against it.
Maximum capacity under this facility was $63.8 million, subject to accounts receivable balances and
other collateral adjustments. There were $0.9 million of letters of credit issued under these
credit lines as of December 31, 2010 leaving additional letter of credit availability of $1.5
million.
In disposing of assets, we have entered into contracts that included various indemnity provisions,
covering such matters as taxes, environmental liabilities and asbestos and other litigation. Some
of these contracts have exposure limits, but many do not. Due to the nature of the indemnities, it
is not possible to estimate the potential maximum exposure under these contracts. For contracts
under which an indemnity claim has been received, a liability of $4.9 million has been recorded as
of December 31, 2010.

ITEM 7A. |
|
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and
commodity prices that could impact our results of operations and financial condition. We use
forward swaps and option contracts to hedge currency, interest rate and commodity exposures.
Forward swap and option contracts are entered into for periods consistent with underlying exposure
and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. We use derivative financial
instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative trading purposes. In addition,
derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial
institutions in order to manage our exposure to potential nonperformance on such instruments. We
regularly monitor developments in the capital markets.
Counter Party Risk
We only enter into derivative transactions with established counterparties having a credit rating
of A or better. We monitor counterparty credit default swap levels and credit ratings on a regular
basis. All of our derivative transactions with counterparties are governed by master International
Swap Dealer Agreements with netting arrangements. These agreements can limit our exposure in
situations where we have gain and loss positions outstanding with a single counterparty. We
generally do not post nor receive cash collateral with any counterparty for our derivative
transactions. As of December 31, 2010 we had no cash collateral posted or received for any of our
derivative transactions. These agreements do not contain any credit contingent features other than
those contained in our bank credit facility. Exposure to individual counterparties is controlled,
and thus we consider the risk of counterparty default to be negligible.
Interest Rate Sensitivity
We are subject to interest rate variability on our Term Loan A, Term Loan B, revolving credit
facility and other borrowings. There were $25 million of borrowings under the revolving credit
facility as of December 31, 2010. A hypothetical increase of one-quarter percentage point in LIBOR
interest rates from December 31, 2010 levels would increase 2011 interest expense by approximately
$0.7 million. A significant portion of our debt has a 1.5% LIBOR floor which would not be affected
by a one-quarter percentage point move in LIBOR given the current low interest rate environment.
As of December 31, 2010 we did not have any interest rate swaps outstanding.
The table below provides information about our long-term debt obligations as of December 31, 2010,
including payment requirements and related weighted-average interest rates by scheduled maturity
dates. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve.

Exchange Rate Sensitivity
We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a
result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. To a large extent, our global
manufacturing and sales provide a natural hedge of foreign currency exchange rate movement. We use
foreign currency forward exchange contracts to reduce our remaining exposure. At December 31,
2010, our major foreign currency exposures are to the Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar and Euro.
A 10% strengthening of all currencies against the U.S. dollar compared to December 31, 2010 levels
would increase our 2011 earnings before income taxes by approximately $5.5 million, including the
impact of current foreign currency forward exchange contracts.
We also use foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures created by
cross-currency intercompany loans.
The table below details our outstanding currency instruments as of December 31, 2010.

Natural Gas Price Sensitivity
We purchase natural gas for use in the manufacture of ceiling tiles and other products, as well as
to heat many of our facilities. As a result, we are exposed to movements in the price of natural
gas. We have a policy of reducing North American natural gas volatility through derivative
instruments, including forward swap contracts, purchased call options and zero-cost collars. As of
December 31, 2010, we had contracts to hedge approximately $37 million (notional amounts) of
natural gas. All of these contracts mature by 2012. A 10% increase in North American natural gas
prices compared to December 31, 2010 prices would increase our 2011 expenses by approximately $0.4
million including the impact of current hedging contracts. At December 31, 2010 we had recorded
liabilities of $5.5 million related to these contracts.

Fourth Quarter 2010 Compared With Fourth Quarter 2009
Net sales of $642.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 decreased from net sales of $653.0
million in the fourth quarter of 2009, a decrease of 1.5%. Excluding the unfavorable effects of
foreign exchange rates of $5.5 million, net sales decreased less than 1%. The decline was due to
volume declines partially offset by favorable price realization. Resilient Flooring net sales
decreased 2.1%, excluding the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange rates, primarily due to lower
volume in the North American residential markets. Wood Flooring net sales decreased by 10.7%
primarily due to lower volume driven by continued declines in residential markets. Building
Products net sales increased by 6.1%, excluding the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange rates,
due to increased volume and price realization. Cabinets net sales decreased by 6.6% on volume
declines in the residential housing markets. Net sales decreased less than 1% in the Americas.
Excluding the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange rates of $9.7 million, European net sales
decreased less than 1%. Excluding the favorable effects of foreign exchange rates of $2.1 million,
Pacific Rim sales increased 3.3%.
The fourth quarters of 2010 and 2009 were negatively impacted by non-cash impairment charges of
$22.4 and $18.0 million, respectively, related to our Wood trademarks. The fourth quarter of 2010
was impacted by approximately $19 million of fixed asset write downs and severance charges and a
$5.8 million loss on the sale of our European metal ceilings contract installation business. The
fourth quarter of 2009 was negatively impacted by approximately $7 million of cost reduction
expenses and $3 million of fixed asset impairment charges.
For the fourth quarter of 2010, cost of goods sold was 80.8% of net sales, compared to 78.9% in
2009. The 1.9% increase was due to higher input costs, increased fixed asset write downs, and
related inventory valuation impact offset slightly by higher price realization.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2010 were $130.8
million, or 20.3% of net sales, as compared to $131.1 million, or 20.1% of net sales, for the
fourth quarter of 2009. Reductions in SG&A expenses in 2010 were offset by increased severance
charges and the loss on the sale of our European metal ceilings contract installation business.
Restructuring charges of $7.0 million were recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010 for severance and
related costs for several plant closures and reductions in SG&A personnel.
An operating loss of $30.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $1.6 million in the
fourth quarter of 2009 primarily resulted from the items discussed above.
Interest expense was $9.4 million compared to $3.8 million in 2009. The increase was primarily due
to the refinancing of our credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2010. In connection with the
refinancing we wrote off $3.8 million of unamortized debt financing costs related to our previous
credit facility to interest expense.
The income tax benefit for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $17.0 million on a pre-tax loss of $38.0
million versus a benefit of $1.4 million on a pre-tax loss of $5.2 million in 2009. The effective
tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2010 was favorable versus 2009 primarily due to a reduction in
the amount of unbenefitted foreign losses.

MANAGEMENTS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting was designed to
provide reasonable assurance to management and our Board of Directors regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the fair presentation of our financial statements.
With the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation, our
management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2010.
KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, audited our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. Their audit report can be found on page 42.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Armstrong World Industries, Inc.:
We have audited Armstrong World Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO). The Companys management is responsible for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control
over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing
and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed
risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Armstrong World Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on
criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and
2009, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, equity, and cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, and our report dated February 28, 2011
expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Armstrong World Industries, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Armstrong World Industries,
Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 2010. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial
statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying
index on page 38. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Armstrong World Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated
February 28, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND CHAPTER 11 REORGANIZATION
Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (AWI) is a Pennsylvania corporation incorporated in 1891. When
we refer to we, our and us in this report, we are referring to AWI and its subsidiaries.
References in this report to reorganized Armstrong are to AWI as it was reorganized under the
plan of reorganization (POR) on October 2, 2006, and its subsidiaries collectively. We use the
term AWI when we are referring solely to Armstrong World Industries, Inc.
In December 2000, AWI filed a voluntary petition for relief (the Filing) under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court) in order to use the court-supervised reorganization process to
achieve a resolution of AWIs asbestos-related liability. On October 2, 2006, AWIs court-approved
POR became effective, and AWI emerged from Chapter 11.
Resolution of Disputed Claims
All claims in AWIs Chapter 11 case have been resolved and closed. In February 2008 AWI made a
final distribution to general unsecured creditors of AWI under the POR. The Bankruptcy Court
closed AWIs Chapter 11 case on September 2, 2008. No further distributions will be made.
Asbestos PI Trust
On October 2, 2006, the Armstrong World Industries, Inc. Asbestos Personal Injury Settlement Trust
(Asbestos PI Trust) was created to address AWIs personal injury (including wrongful death)
asbestos-related liability. All present and future asbestos-related personal injury claims against
AWI, including contribution claims of co-defendants, arising directly or indirectly out of AWIs
pre-Filing use of, or other activities involving, asbestos are channeled to the Asbestos PI Trust.
Accounting Impact
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 852 Restructuring provides financial reporting guidance
for entities that reorganize under the Bankruptcy Code. This fresh start reporting guidance was
reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
ASC 852 requires separate reporting of all revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, and
provision for losses related to the Filing as Chapter 11 reorganization costs, net. There was no
Chapter 11 income or expense recorded in 2008, 2009, or 2010.
For Chapter 11 related post-emergence activities AWI recorded $1.4 million and $2.0 million of
income for 2009 and 2008, respectively. These amounts included reversals of certain environmental
and other accruals set-up during settlement accounting and the recording of undistributed cash
partially offset by professional fees.
Share Ownership
In August 2009 Armor TPG Holdings LLC (TPG) and the Asbestos PI Trust entered into agreements
whereby TPG purchased 7,000,000 shares of AWI common stock from the Asbestos PI Trust and acquired
an economic interest in an additional 1,039,777 shares from the Asbestos PI Trust. The Asbestos PI
Trust and TPG together hold more than 60% of AWIs outstanding shares and have entered into a
shareholders agreement pursuant to which the Asbestos PI Trust and TPG have agreed to vote their
shares together on certain matters.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation Policy. The consolidated financial statements and accompanying data in this
report include the accounts of AWI and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. The statements include management estimates and judgments, where
appropriate. Management utilizes estimates to record many items including asset values, allowances
for bad debts, inventory obsolescence and lower of cost or market charges, warranty, workers
compensation, general liability and environmental claims and income taxes. When preparing an
estimate, management determines the amount based upon the consideration of relevant information.
Management may confer with outside parties, including outside counsel. Actual results may differ
from these estimates.
Reclassifications. Certain amounts in the prior years Consolidated Financial Statements
and related notes thereto have been recast to conform to the 2010 presentation.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue from the sale of products when persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, title and risk of loss transfers to the customers, prices are
fixed and determinable, and it is reasonably assured the related accounts receivable is
collectible. Our sales terms primarily are FOB shipping point. We have some sales terms that are
FOB destination. Our products are sold with normal and customary return provisions. Sales
discounts are deducted immediately from the sales invoice. Provisions, which are recorded as a
reduction of revenue, are made for the estimated cost of rebates, promotional programs and
warranties. We defer recognizing revenue if special sales agreements, established at the time of
sale, warrant this treatment.
Sales Incentives. Sales incentives are reflected as a reduction of net sales.
Shipping and Handling Costs. Shipping and handling costs are reflected in cost of goods
sold.
Advertising Costs. We recognize advertising expenses as they are incurred.
Research and Development Costs. We recognize research and development costs as they are
incurred.
Pension and Postretirement Benefits. We have benefit plans that provide for pension,
medical and life insurance benefits to certain eligible employees when they retire from active
service. See Note 18 for disclosures on pension and postretirement benefits.
Taxes. The provision for income taxes has been determined using the asset and liability
approach of accounting for income taxes to reflect the expected future tax consequences of events
recognized in the financial statements. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized
by applying enacted tax rates to temporary differences that exist as of the balance sheet date
which result from differences in the timing of reported taxable income between tax and financial
reporting.
We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred income tax assets if it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. For tax
benefits that may be challenged by a taxing authority, we make an assessment of whether the
position is more likely than not to be sustained upon an examination by the taxing authorities.
Based on this analysis, we record the impact of these uncertain tax positions, including penalties
and interest in the period in which such determination is made.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are reported on a net
basis.
49
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
Earnings per Common Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the earnings by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the
earnings.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and short-term
investments that have maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Concentration of Credit. We principally sell products to customers in the building products
industries in various geographic regions. No one customer accounted for 10% or more of our total
consolidated net sales in the years 2010, 2009, and 2008. We monitor the creditworthiness of our
customers and generally do not require collateral.
Receivables. We sell the vast majority of our products to select, pre-approved customers
using customary trade terms that allow for payment in the future. Customer trade receivables,
customer notes receivable and miscellaneous receivables (which include supply related rebates and
claims to be received, unpaid insurance claims from litigation and other), net of allowances for
doubtful accounts, customer credits and warranties are reported in accounts and notes receivable,
net. Notes receivable from divesting certain businesses are included in other current assets and
other non-current assets based upon the payment terms. Cash flows from the collection of current
receivables are classified as operating cash flows on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Cash flows from the collection of non-current receivables are classified as investing cash flows on
the consolidated statements of cash flows.
We establish credit-worthiness prior to extending credit. We estimate the recoverability of
receivables each period. This estimate is based upon triggering events and new information in the
period, which can include the review of any available financial statements and forecasts, as well
as discussions with legal counsel and the management of the debtor company. As events occur which
impact the collectability of the receivable, all or a portion of the receivable is reserved.
Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the potential for recovery is
considered remote. We do not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to our customers.
Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventories also
include certain samples used in ongoing sales and marketing activities. See Note 7 for further
information on our accounting for inventories.
Property and Depreciation. Property, plant and equipment in place as of September 30, 2006
was set equal to fair value as of our emergence date and is currently stated at that value less
impairment charges and accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property, plant and equipment
acquired after our emergence date is stated at acquisition cost less impairment charges and
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Upon emergence from Chapter 11 in 2006, certain
tangible assets were assigned shortened useful lives, and most of these assets were fully
depreciated as of the fourth quarter of 2009.
Depreciation charges for financial reporting purposes are determined on a straight-line basis at
rates calculated to provide for the full depreciation of assets at the end of their useful lives.
Machinery and equipment includes manufacturing equipment (depreciated over 3 to 15 years), computer
equipment (3 to 5 years) and office furniture and equipment (5 to 7 years). Within manufacturing
equipment, assets that are subject to quick obsolescence or wear out quickly, such as tooling and
engraving equipment, are depreciated over shorter periods (3 to 7 years). Heavy production
equipment, such as conveyors and production presses, are depreciated over longer periods (15
years). Buildings are depreciated over 15 to 30 years, depending on factors such as type of
construction and use. Certain buildings existing at our emergence date are depreciated over
shorter periods. Computer software is depreciated over 3 to 7 years.
Property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment when indicators of impairment are present,
such as operating losses and/or negative cash flows. If an indication of impairment exists, we
compare the carrying amount of the asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows
expected to be
50
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
generated by the assets. The estimate of an asset groups fair value is based on discounted future
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group, or based on managements estimated exit
price assuming the assets could be sold in an orderly transaction between market participants, or
estimated salvage value if no sale is assumed. If the fair value is less than the carrying value
of the asset group, we record an impairment charge equal to the difference between the fair value
and carrying value of the asset group. Impairments of assets related to our manufacturing
operations are recorded in cost of goods sold. When assets are disposed of or retired, their costs
and related depreciation are removed from the financial statements, and any resulting gains or
losses normally are reflected in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
expenses.
Plant and equipment held under capital leases are stated at the present value of the minimum lease
payments. Plant and equipment held under capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized
on a straight line basis over the life of the lease plus any specific option periods.
Asset Retirement Obligations. We recognize the fair value of obligations associated with
the retirement of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which they are incurred. Upon
initial recognition of a liability, the discounted cost is capitalized as part of the related
long-lived asset and depreciated over the corresponding assets useful life. Over time, accretion
of the liability is recognized as an operating expense to reflect the change in the liabilitys
present value.
Intangible Assets. Effective with our emergence from Chapter 11 in 2006 and as part of
fresh-start reporting, goodwill was eliminated from our balance sheet, and intangible assets were
revalued and identified. Intangible assets with determinable useful lives are amortized over their
respective estimated useful lives.
We periodically review significant definite-lived intangible assets for impairment when indicators
of impairment exist. We review our businesses for indicators of impairment such as operating
losses and/or negative cash flows. If an indication of impairment exists, we compare the carrying
amount of the asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated
by the assets. The estimate of an asset groups fair value is based on discounted future cash
flows expected to be generated by the asset group, or based on managements estimated exit price
assuming the assets could be sold in an orderly transaction between market participants. If the
fair value is less than the carrying value of the asset group, we record an impairment charge equal
to the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset group.
Our indefinite-lived intangibles are primarily trademarks and brand names, which are integral to
our corporate identity and expected to contribute indefinitely to our corporate cash flows.
Accordingly, they have been assigned an indefinite life. We perform annual impairment tests during
the fourth quarter on these indefinite-lived intangibles. These assets undergo more frequent tests
if an indication of possible impairment exists.
The principal assumptions utilized in our impairment tests for definite-lived intangible assets
include operating profit adjusted for depreciation and amortization and discount rate. The
principal assumptions utilized in our impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets
include revenue growth rate, discount rate and royalty rate. Revenue growth rate and operating
profit assumptions are consistent with those utilized in our operating plan and strategic planning
process. The discount rate assumption is calculated based upon an estimated weighted average cost
of equity which reflects the overall level of inherent risk and the rate of return a market
participant would expect to achieve. Methodologies used for valuing our intangible assets did not
change from prior periods.
See Note 11 for disclosure on intangible assets.
Foreign Currency Transactions. Assets and liabilities of our subsidiaries operating
outside the United States which account in a functional currency other than U.S. dollars are
translated using the period end exchange rate. Revenues and expenses are translated at exchange
rates effective during each month.
51
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
Foreign currency translation gains or losses are included as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive (loss) within shareholders equity. Gains or losses on foreign currency transactions
are recognized through the statement of earnings.
Financial Instruments and Derivatives. From time to time, we use derivatives and other
financial instruments to offset the effect of currency, interest rate and commodity price
variability. See Notes 19 and 20 for further discussion.
Stock-based Employee Compensation. For awards with only service and performance conditions
that have a graded vesting schedule, we recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis
over the vesting period for the entire award. For awards with market conditions, we recognize
compensation expense over the derived service period. See Note 24 for additional information on
stock-based employee compensation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In September 2006 the FASB issued new guidance on fair value. The new guidance, which is now part
of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. ASC 820 was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However,
the effective date for certain non-financial assets and liabilities was deferred to fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008. There was no material impact from our initial adoption of the
provisions of the guidance in 2008, nor was there a material impact from our adoption of the
remaining portions of ASC 820 on January 1, 2009.
During 2009 we adopted new guidance, which is now part of ASC 810, Consolidation, which requires
the recognition of a non-controlling interest (formerly known as a minority interest) as equity
in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parents equity. The amount of net
income attributable to the non-controlling interest was immaterial for the years ended December 31,
2010 and 2009, and, therefore, is included in consolidated net income on the face of the income
statement.
During 2009 we adopted new guidance, which is now part of ASC 323, Investments-Equity Method and
Joint Ventures, which discusses the accounting for contingent consideration agreements of an
equity method investment and the requirement for the investor to recognize its share of any
impairment charges recorded by the investee. ASC 323 requires the investor to record share
issuances by the investee as if it has sold a portion of its investment with any resulting gain or
loss being reflected in earnings. There was no material impact from our adoption of ASC 323 on
January 1, 2009.
During 2009 we adopted new guidance, which is now part of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The
new guidance enhances the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities
to provide users of financial statements with a better understanding of the objectives of a
companys derivative use and the risks managed. The changes to the disclosure requirements
surrounding derivatives and hedging activities have been incorporated into the footnotes to the
financial statements. See Note 20 for our disclosures related to hedging activities.
Effective January 1, 2009 we adopted new guidance, which is now part of ASC 260, Earnings Per
Share. Under ASC 260, share-based payment awards (whether vested or unvested) that contain
nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are
participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share (EPS)
pursuant to the two-class method as described in ASC 260. All prior-period EPS data presented has
been adjusted retrospectively to conform to the provisions of ASC 260.
Effective January 1, 2009 we adopted new guidance, which is now part of ASC 715, Compensation
Retirement Benefits, which requires additional disclosures about plan assets in an employers
defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The objectives of the disclosures are to
provide users of financial statements with an understanding of the major categories of plan assets,
fair value
52
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
measurements for plan assets, how investment decisions are made, and concentrations of risk within
the plan assets. See Note 18 for our disclosures related to retirement plan assets.
In May 2009 and February 2010 the FASB issued new guidance, which is now part of ASC 855,
Subsequent Events. ASC 855 requires management to evaluate subsequent events through the date
the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be
issued. We have evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of this Form 10-K.
In June 2009 the FASB issued new guidance, which is now part of ASC 105, Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. ASC 105 has become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the
FASB to be applied by nongovernment entities. It also modified the GAAP hierarchy to include only
two levels of GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. ASC 105 was effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We adopted ASC
105 for the reporting of our 2009 third quarter results. The adoption had no impact on the
reporting of our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In January 2010 the FASB issued new guidance, which is now part of ASC 820, Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures. The new guidance requires disclosures of the amounts of assets and
liabilities transferred into and out of Levels 1 and 2, along with a description of the reasons for
the transfers. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures related to activity presented
for Level 3 measurements. These provisions were effective for us as of January 1, 2010, except for
the additional disclosures related to activities for Level 3 measurements which are effective for
us as of January 1, 2011. There was no impact on our financial statements from the adoption of
this guidance.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In July 2010 the FASB issued new guidance, which is now part of ASC 310, Receivables. The new
guidance increases the disclosure requirements regarding the credit quality of financing
receivables and the allowance for credit losses. Some of the provisions were effective for us as
of December 31, 2010 and others as of January 1, 2011. We have not had and do not expect a
material impact on our financial statements from the adoption of this guidance.

Impairment testing of our tangible assets occurs whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.

Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
The Wood Flooring business recorded operating losses in 2010 and 2009 primarily due to non-cash
impairment charges of $22.4 million and $18.0 million, respectively. The 2010 operating loss also
included restructuring charges. See Note 15 for further information on our restructuring charges.
The Wood Flooring business had positive cash flows for both 2010 and 2009. There were no
indicators of impairment for the tangible assets of the Wood Flooring business in 2010 and 2009
(except as noted below).
During 2010 management decided to exit our corporate flight operations. As a result, we recorded a
$6.1 million impairment charge in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense. The fair
value was determined by management estimates and an independent valuation based on information
available at that time. The valuation information included sales of similar equipment and
estimates of market prices (considered Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy as described in
Note 18) for these assets. We sold the corporate aircraft in the fourth quarter of 2010.
During the first quarter of 2010, we announced that one of our European metal ceilings
manufacturing facilities would be shut down in the second quarter of 2010, which prompted us to
perform an impairment test for this asset group. The carrying amount of the tangible assets was
determined to be recoverable as the projected undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value.
We sold the facility in the third quarter of 2010.
We also recorded an asset impairment charge of $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 in SG&A
expense for a European Resilient Flooring warehouse facility due to the decline in the commercial
property sector. The fair value was determined by management estimates of market prices available
at that time. This data included sales and leases of comparable properties within similar real
estate markets (considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy).
During the third quarter of 2010, we decided to close a ceilings plant, one of our previously idled
Wood Flooring plants, portions of another previously idled Wood Flooring plant, and a Resilient
Flooring facility. These facilities were shut down in 2010 or will be shut down in 2011. We
concluded that an indicator of impairment existed for these asset groups, which prompted us to
perform impairment analyses for these asset groups. In each case the carrying amount of the
tangible assets was determined to be recoverable as the projected undiscounted cash flows, or
estimated fair value of the assets, exceeded the carrying value.
In the third quarter of 2010 we announced our intention to exit the residential flooring business
in Europe. We concluded that an indicator of impairment existed which prompted us to perform an
impairment analysis. The carrying amount of the tangible assets was determined to be recoverable
as the estimated fair value of the assets exceeded the carrying value. We sold the assets related
to this business during the fourth quarter of 2010.
During the fourth quarter of 2009, we recorded a $3.0 million impairment charge in cost of goods
sold for certain European Resilient Flooring tangible assets, primarily machinery and equipment.
The fair value was determined by management estimates of market prices and independent valuations
of the land and building assets based on observable market data available at that time. This data
included recent sales and leases of comparable properties with similar characteristics within the
same local real estate market (considered Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy).
The Cabinets business incurred operating losses beginning in 2008 and continuing through 2010. In
2009 and 2010 the carrying amount of the tangible assets was determined to be recoverable as the
projected undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value.

NOTE 4 ACQUISITIONS
As of December 31, 2009, we owned 80% of our Shanghai ceiling operations. During the fourth
quarter of 2009, we made deposits of $3.3 million to initiate the purchase of the remaining 20%
interest. During the first quarter of 2010, we completed the acquisition with additional cash
payments of $7.8 million. We recorded the difference between the purchase price and the net book
value of the net equity acquired within capital in excess of par value.
NOTE 5. DIVESTITURES
In the fourth quarter of 2010, the sale of our European metal ceilings contract installation
business resulted in a loss of $5.8 million which was recorded in SG&A expenses.

changes in economic and market conditions. We consider these factors and the financial condition

Approximately 65% and 63% of our total inventory in 2010 and 2009, respectively, was valued on a
LIFO (last-in, first-out) basis. Inventory values were lower than would have been reported on a
total FIFO (first-in, first-out) basis by $17.1 million and $4.2 million in 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
The distinction between the use of different methods of inventory valuation is primarily based on
geographical locations and/or legal entities rather than types of inventory. The following table
summarizes the amount of inventory that is not accounted for under the LIFO method.

Substantially all of our international locations use the FIFO method of inventory valuation (or
other methods which closely approximate the FIFO method) primarily because either the LIFO method
is not permitted for local tax and/or statutory reporting purposes, or the entities were part of
various acquisitions that had adopted the FIFO method prior to our acquisition. In these
situations, a conversion to LIFO would be highly complex and involve excessive cost and effort to
achieve under local tax and/or statutory reporting requirements.
The sourced products represent certain finished goods sourced from third party manufacturers,
primarily from foreign suppliers.

The reduction in prepaid expenses was primarily due to a prepayment for the buyout of our minority
interest partner in China which occurred in 2009.
Assets held for sale decreased due to the sale of a European Resilient Flooring warehouse facility.
The reduction in Other was primarily due to the receipt of proceeds from an entrustment loan
related to our Chinese entity.

NOTE 10. EQUITY INVESTMENTS
Investment in joint venture of $188.6 million at December 31, 2010 represented the equity interest
in our 50% investment in our WAVE joint venture.
We use the equity in earnings method to determine the appropriate classification of distributions
from WAVE within our cash flow statement. During 2010 and 2009 WAVE distributed amounts in excess
of our capital contributions and proportionate share of retained earnings. Accordingly, in 2010
and 2009 the distributions were reflected as a return of investment in cash flows from investing
activity in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In 2008, $19.5 million of the distributions
were reflected as a return of investment in cash flows from investing activity, and the remaining
$61.0 million was recorded within cash flows from operating activities.
We account for our WAVE joint venture using the equity method of accounting. Our recorded
investment in WAVE was higher than our 50% share of the carrying values reported in WAVEs
consolidated financial statements by $200.6 million as of December 31, 2010 and $206.6 million as
of December 31, 2009. These differences are due to our adoption of fresh-start reporting upon
emergence from Chapter 11, while WAVEs consolidated financial statements do not reflect
fresh-start reporting. The differences are comprised of the following fair value adjustments to
assets:

NOTE 11. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
During the fourth quarters of 2010, 2009, and 2008 we conducted our annual impairment testing of
non-amortizable intangible assets. Our impairment analysis determined that the carrying value of
our Wood Flooring trademarks was in excess of the fair value. We determined the fair value of
these intangible assets by utilizing relief from royalty analysis that incorporated projections of
revenue and cash flows. The initial fair value for these intangible assets was determined in 2006
as part of fresh start reporting. The fair values were negatively affected by lower expected
future sales in the U.S. residential housing market. Based on the result of the analysis, we
recorded non-cash impairment charges of $22.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, $18.0 million
in the fourth quarter of 2009, and 25.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. See Note 2 for a
discussion of our accounting policy for intangible assets.
Further adjustments were made to the carrying value of intangibles during the fourth quarter of
2010 and 2009. These adjustments were primarily tax-related and due to the purchase of land use
rights in China.
The following table details amounts related to our intangible assets as of December 31, 2010 and
2009.

NOTE 14. SEVERANCE AND RELATED COSTS
See Note 15 for a discussion of severance charges associated with restructuring actions.
In 2010 we recorded $11.2 million in SG&A expense for severance and related expenses to reflect the
separation costs for our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In accordance with the
separation agreement, payment was made in the third quarter of 2010.
During 2010 we announced the shutdown of finished goods production at two Wood Flooring plants, the
restarting of certain operations at a previously idled Wood Flooring plant, the closure of a
European metal ceilings manufacturing facility and a crew reduction in a European Building Products
plant. We recorded $5.7 million of severance and related expenses in 2010 for approximately 500
employees affected by these actions. The charges were recorded in cost of goods sold.
In addition to the charges described above, in 2010 we also recorded $7.5 million of severance and
related expenses for employees affected by the elimination of approximately 220 other manufacturing
and SG&A positions around the world. The charges were recorded in SG&A expense ($5.6 million) and
cost of goods sold ($1.9 million).
In 2009 we recorded $17.5 million of severance and related expenses, primarily to reflect the
separation costs for approximately 1,000 employees, including executives and employees affected by
the cessation of production at four manufacturing facilities. The charges were recorded in SG&A
expenses ($10.5 million) and cost of goods sold ($7.0 million).
In 2008 we recorded $7.4 million of severance and related expenses to reflect the termination costs
for certain corporate employees. We also recorded a reduction of our stock-based compensation
expense of $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2008 related to stock grants that were forfeited by
these employees. These costs were recorded as SG&A expenses.
During 2008 we recorded $14.1 million of severance and other related charges primarily related to
organizational and manufacturing changes for our European Resilient Flooring business. The
organizational changes related to the decision to consolidate and outsource several SG&A functions.
The manufacturing changes related primarily to the decision to cease production of automotive
carpeting and other specialized textile flooring products. These charges were recorded as part of
cost of goods sold ($7.3 million) and SG&A expenses ($6.8 million).

NOTE 15. RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS
During the third quarter of 2010, management made several significant decisions to address our cost
structure. Given the materiality to our financial statements and impact to our operations, we
decided to classify charges related to these actions as restructuring charges. We recorded $22.0
million of restructuring charges in the third and fourth quarters of 2010. The following table

Floor Products Europe: We announced in the third quarter of 2010 that we intend to
focus our European flooring strategy on products and regions where we believe we can be a market
leader, and we will streamline our product range and sales organization accordingly. During the
fourth quarter of 2010, we withdrew from the residential market, and as a result, we sold our
Teesside, UK, manufacturing facility. In addition, we no longer intend to manufacture
heterogeneous vinyl flooring at our Holmsund, Sweden plant, and we anticipate that the Holmsund
facility also will close.
In addition to the restructuring costs of $11.8 million reflected in the above table, we also
recorded $5.0 million of other related costs in cost of goods sold ($3.5 million) and SG&A ($1.5
million). These costs are primarily related to inventory and samples obsolescence.
In total, we expect to incur expenses of $30 million to $35 million for these actions through 2011.
The expenses primarily will include severance benefits and asset write-downs. The amount of
severance benefits will be determined following consultations with works councils.
North America SG&A: We are committed to augmenting margin expansion through the aggressive
adoption of LEAN practices and projects to standardize, simplify or eliminate SG&A activities. As
a result, in the third quarter of 2010, we began to restructure our U.S. SG&A operations. The
restructuring expense related to this initiative was recorded in the Unallocated Corporate ($4.0
million), Building Products ($0.9 million) and Resilient Flooring ($0.9 million) segments.
In total, we expect to incur restructuring expenses of $8 million to $12 million through 2011 as we
further streamline SG&A functions.
Beaver Falls Plant: In the third quarter of 2010, we announced that the Beaver Falls,
Pennsylvania, plant is scheduled to close in 2011. The closing will be phased as we transition
production to other facilities. The decision to close the plant was driven by the location and
layout of the plant, technology limitations and the continued limited demand for the products we
make at the plant.
In addition to the restructuring costs of $2.3 million reflected in the table above, we also
recorded $10.0 million of accelerated depreciation in cost of goods sold.
62
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
In total, we expect to incur expenses of $20 million to $25 million for this action through 2011.
The expenses will primarily include accelerated depreciation and severance benefits.
Montreal: In the third quarter of 2010, we announced the closing of our warehouse and
previously idled plant in Montreal, Canada. The facility closed in the fourth quarter of 2010.
The decision to close this facility was driven by the expectation that we will be able to service
the demand for our resilient tile products from our other manufacturing locations.
In addition to the restructuring costs of $1.2 million reflected in the previous table, we also
recorded $6.5 million of fixed asset write-downs in cost of goods sold.
We do not expect to incur further restructuring costs related to this initiative.
Wood Products: In the third quarter of 2010, we announced the closing of our previously
idled Center, Texas plant and a portion of our previously idled Oneida, Tennessee plant.
Operations at Center and the strip mill operations at Oneida ceased in the fourth quarter of 2010.
The decision to close these facilities was driven by the expectation that we will be able to
service the demand for our wood products from our other manufacturing locations.
In addition to the restructuring costs of $0.9 million reflected in the previous table, we also
recorded $14.9 million of fixed asset write-downs and lease termination costs in cost of goods
sold.
We do not expect to incur further restructuring costs related to these locations.
The following table summarizes activity in the restructuring accruals.

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES
The tax effects of principal temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax bases are summarized in the following table. Management believes it is
more likely than not that results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to
realize deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, including the remaining federal net
operating losses of $175.9 million principally resulting from payments to the Asbestos PI Trust in
2006 under the POR that may be carried forward for the remaining 16 years. In arriving at this
conclusion, we considered the profit before tax generated for the years 1996 through 2010, as well
as future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and projections of future profit
before tax.
We have provided valuation allowances for certain deferred state and foreign income tax assets,
foreign tax credits and other basis adjustments of $168.1 million. We have $1,376.7 million of
state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards with expirations between 2011 and 2030. In
addition, we have $496.8 million of foreign NOL carryforwards, of which $464.9 million are
available for carryforward indefinitely and $31.9 million expire between 2011 and 2019. We also
have alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $14.9 million which are available to reduce
future federal income taxes.
63
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
Our valuation allowances increased from 2009 by a net amount of $12.7 million. This includes a
decrease of $1.3 million for foreign tax credits, a decrease of $0.4 million for capital loss
carryforwards, a decrease for certain deferred state income tax assets of $2.2 million, and an
increase for foreign tax loss
carryforwards of $16.6 million. The valuation allowance for foreign tax credits decreased by $1.3
million for carryforward expirations. The valuation allowance for capital losses decreased by $0.4
million due to the reversal of a loss provision made in 2009. The decrease in the valuation
allowance for certain deferred state income tax assets of $2.2 million was primarily due to an
increase in the amount of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. The increase
in the valuation allowance for foreign tax loss carryforwards was primarily due to additional
unbenefitted losses partially offset by carryforward expirations that also reduced the related
deferred income tax assets. We estimate we will need to generate future taxable income of
approximately $502.6 million for federal income tax purposes and $1,088.9 million for state income
tax purposes during the respective realization periods in order to fully realize the net deferred
income tax assets discussed above.

At December 31, 2010, we had $99.1 million of book basis (including unremitted earnings) in excess
of tax basis in the shares of certain foreign subsidiaries for which no deferred income taxes have
been provided because we consider the underlying earnings to be permanently reinvested. This basis
difference could reverse through a sale of the subsidiaries, the receipt of dividends from the
subsidiaries, or various other events. It is not practical to calculate the residual income tax
which would result if these basis differences reversed due to the complexities of the tax law and
the hypothetical nature of the calculations. We do, however, estimate that approximately $0.8
million in foreign withholding taxes would be payable if the underlying earnings were to be
distributed.

During March 2010 President Obama signed into law comprehensive health care reform legislation
under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of
2010 (together, the Act). The federal government currently provides a partial subsidy, on a
tax-free
65
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
basis, to companies that provide certain retiree prescription drug benefits (the Medicare
Part D subsidy). The Act reduces the tax deductibility of retiree health care costs to the extent
of any Medicare Part D subsidy received beginning in 2013. As a result of this change in tax
treatment, we recorded a non-cash income tax charge of approximately $22 million in the first
quarter of 2010. We also recorded a decrease of $16.1 million to noncurrent deferred income tax
assets and accumulated other comprehensive income that was related to an adjustment to the
non-subsidized portion of our postretirement benefit liabilities.
In October 2007, we received $178.7 million in refunds for federal income taxes paid over the
preceding ten years. The refunds resulted from the carryback of a portion of NOLs created by the
funding of the Asbestos PI Trust in October 2006. The refunds were subject to an examination by
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Upon receipt of the refunds in the fourth quarter of 2007,
we recorded a liability of $144.6 million pending completion of the IRS audit. We also recorded a
noncurrent deferred income tax asset of $144.6 million for future tax benefits that would result
from a disallowance of the refunds. In addition, we had accrued $10.0 million of interest as of
June 30, 2009, on this unrecognized tax benefit as income tax expense.
The IRS completed its audit and in July 2009 notified us that the Joint Committee on Taxation of
the U.S. Congress had also issued its final approval of our refunds. Therefore, in the third
quarter of 2009, we recorded a decrease in the liability for previously unrecognized tax benefits
of $154.6 million. We also recorded a decrease in noncurrent deferred income tax assets of $144.6
million for the reduction in future tax benefits from the settlement of this tax position. As a
result, we recorded an income tax benefit of $10.0 million in the third quarter of 2009 for the
settlement of this tax position.
Additionally, through the second quarter of 2009, we had accrued U.S. income taxes of approximately
$50 million for unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries that were not considered to be
permanently reinvested. Due to uncertainty regarding the NOL carryover discussed above, we
provided a valuation allowance of $31.3 million on the foreign tax credits that would be available
upon the remittance of these earnings to the U.S. With the settlement of the IRS audit in July
2009, this uncertainty was eliminated. Therefore, in the third quarter of 2009, we removed the
valuation allowance on these foreign tax credits.
We have $126.3 million of Unrecognized Tax Benefits (UTB) as of December 31, 2010. Of this
amount $81.1 million ($79.7 million, net of federal benefit), if recognized in future periods,
would impact the reported effective tax rate. The remaining amount of $45.2 million, if recognized
in future periods, would be fully reduced by additional valuation allowances.
It is reasonably possible that certain UTBs may increase or decrease within the next twelve months
due to tax examination changes, settlement activities, expirations of statute of limitations, or
the impact on recognition and measurement considerations related to the results of published tax
cases or other similar activities. Over the next twelve months, we estimate that UTBs may
decrease by $0.7 million due to statutes expiring and increase by $2.4 million due to uncertain tax
positions expected to be taken on tax returns.
We account for all interest and penalties on uncertain income tax positions as income tax expense.
We reported $1.8 million of interest and penalty exposure as accrued income tax in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010, of which $1.2 million was recognized as income tax expense
during 2010.
We have significant operations in over 25 countries and file income tax returns in approximately 85
tax jurisdictions, in some cases for multiple legal entities per jurisdiction. Generally, we have
open tax years subject to tax audit on average of between three years and six years. We have not
materially extended any open statutes of limitation for any significant location and have reviewed
and accrued for, where necessary, tax liabilities for open periods. As discussed above, the IRS
audit for the 2005 and 2006 tax years was completed during the third quarter of 2009. The tax
years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 are subject to future potential tax adjustments. All tax years
prior to 2007 have been settled with the IRS.

We also have examinations in progress in Germany and Canada. We have evaluated the need for tax
reserves for these audits.

On November 23, 2010, we refinanced our $1.1 billion credit facility and executed a $1.05 billion
senior credit facility arranged by Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., J.P. Morgan
Securities, Inc., and Barclays Capital. During 2010 we were in compliance with all covenants of
the previous and current credit agreements. This new facility consists of a $250 million revolving
credit facility (with a $150 million sublimit for letters of credit), a $250 million Term Loan A
and a $550 million Term Loan B. This $1.05 billion senior credit facility is secured by U.S.
personal property, the capital stock of material U.S. subsidiaries, and a pledge of 65% of the
stock of our material first tier foreign subsidiaries. In 2010, in connection with the
refinancing, we repaid amounts owed under the previous credit facility and wrote off $3.8 million
of unamortized debt financing costs related to our previous credit facility to interest expense.
The senior credit facility includes two financial covenants which require the ratio of consolidated
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to consolidated cash
interest expense minus cash consolidated interest income (consolidated interest coverage ratio)
to be greater than or
equal to 3.0 to 1.0 and require the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness minus AWI and
domestic
67
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
subsidiary unrestricted cash and cash equivalents up to $100 million to consolidated
EBITDA (consolidated leverage ratio) to be less than or equal to 4.5 to 1.0 through June 30,
2012, 4.0 to 1.0 after June 30, 2012 through September 30, 2013 and 3.75 to 1.0 after September 30,
2013. As of December 31, 2010 we were in compliance with these covenants. We believe that default
under these covenants is unlikely. Fully borrowing under our revolving credit facility would not
violate these covenants.
The Revolving Credit and Term Loan A portions are currently priced at a spread of 3.00% over LIBOR
and the Term Loan B portion is priced at 3.50% over LIBOR with a 1.50% LIBOR floor for its entire
term. The Term Loan A and Term Loan B were both fully drawn and are currently priced on a variable
interest rate basis. The unpaid balances of Term Loan A ($250 million), Revolving Credit ($25
million) and Term Loan B ($550 million) of the credit facility may be prepaid without penalty at
the maturity of their respective interest reset periods. Any amounts prepaid on the Term Loan A or
Term Loan B may not be reborrowed.
Mandatory prepayments are required under the senior credit facility pursuant to an annual leverage
test starting with the year ending December 31, 2011 under which, if our consolidated leverage
ratio is greater than 2.0 to1.0 but less than 2.5 to 1.0, we would be required to make a prepayment
of 25% of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow as defined by the credit agreement. If our Consolidated
Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.5 to 1.0, the prepayment amount would be 50% of Consolidated
Excess Cash Flow.
On December 10, 2010 we entered into a $100 million Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility
with financial institutions (the funding entities) with a three year term. Under this agreement
Armstrong World Industries and Armstrong Hardwood Flooring Company (the Originators) sell their
accounts receivables to Armstrong Receivables Company, LLC (ARC), a Delaware entity that is
consolidated in these financial statements. ARC is a 100% wholly owned single member LLC special
purpose entity created specifically for this transaction, therefore any receivables sold to ARC are
not available to the general creditors of AWI. ARC then sells an undivided interest in the
purchased accounts receivables to the funding entities. This undivided interest acts as collateral
for drawings on the facility. Any borrowings under this facility are obligations of ARC and not
AWI. ARC contracts with and pays a servicing fee to Armstrong World Industries to manage, collect
and service the purchased accounts receivables.
All new receivables under the program generated by the originators are continuously purchased by
ARC with the proceeds from collections of receivables previously purchased. Ongoing changes in the
amount of funding under the program, through changes in the amount of undivided interests sold by
ARC, reflect seasonal variations in the level of accounts receivable, changes in collection trends
and other factors such as changes in sales prices and volumes. ARC has issued subordinated notes
payable to the originators for the difference between the face amount of uncollected accounts
receivable purchased, less a discount, and cash paid to the originators that was funded by the sale
of the undivided interests. The subordinated notes issued by ARC are subordinated to the undivided
interests of the funding entities in the purchased receivables. The balance of the subordinated
notes payable, which are eliminated in consolidation, totaled $97.5 million as of December 31,
2010. As of December 31, 2010 we had no borrowings under this facility but had $36.2 million of
letters of credit issued under the facility.
On December 16, 2010 we issued $35.0 million of Recovery Zone Facility bonds through Jackson
County, West Virginia to finance the construction of our new mineral wool plant. These tax exempt
bonds are seven day variable rate demand notes backed by a letter of credit. These bonds mature in
2041. As of December 31, 2010 the $30 million of unspent proceeds must be used for expenditures
related to the construction of our new mineral wool plant and are therefore accounted for as
restricted cash within other non-current assets.
Approximately $0.4 million of the remaining outstanding debt as of December 31, 2010 was secured
with buildings and other assets. The credit lines at our foreign subsidiaries are subject to
immaterial annual commitment fees.

We utilize lines of credit and other commercial commitments in order to ensure that adequate funds
are available to meet operating requirements. On December 31, 2010, we had a $250 million
revolving credit facility with a $150 million sublimit for letters of credit, of which $37.3
million was outstanding. There were $25 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
Availability under this facility totaled $187.7 million as of December 31, 2010. We also have the
$100 million securitization facility which as of December 31, 2010 had letters of credit
outstanding of $36.2 million and no borrowings against it. Maximum capacity under this facility
was $63.8 million, subject to accounts receivable balances and other collateral adjustments, as of
December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, our foreign subsidiaries had available lines of credit
totaling $25.6 million of which $2.4 million was only available for letters of credit and
guarantees. There were no borrowings under these lines of credit as of December 31, 2010 leaving
$23.2 million of unused lines of credit available for foreign borrowings. There were $0.9 million
of letters of credit issued under these credit lines as of December 31, 2010 leaving additional
letter of credit availability of $1.5 million.
On December 31, 2010, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $74.4 million, of which $37.3
million was issued under the revolving credit facility, $36.2 million was issued under the
securitization facility and $0.9 million of international subsidiary letters of credit were issued
by other banks. Letters of credit are issued to third party suppliers, insurance and financial
institutions and typically can only be drawn upon in the event of AWIs failure to pay its
obligations to the beneficiary.
NOTE 18. PENSION AND OTHER BENEFIT PROGRAMS
We have defined benefit pension plans and postretirement medical and insurance benefit plans
covering eligible employees worldwide. We also have defined-contribution pension plans for
eligible employees. Benefits from defined benefit pension plans, which cover most employees
worldwide, are based primarily on an employees compensation and years of service. We fund our
pension plans when appropriate. We fund postretirement benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis, with the
retiree paying a portion of the cost for health care benefits by means of deductibles and
contributions.
UNITED STATES PLANS
The following tables summarize the balance sheet impact of the pension and postretirement benefit
plans, as well as the related benefit obligations, assets, funded status and rate assumptions. The
pension benefits disclosures include both the qualified, funded Retirement Income Plan (RIP) and
the Retirement Benefit Equity Plan, which is a nonqualified, unfunded plan designed to provide
pension benefits in excess of the limits defined under Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Internal
Revenue Code.

Investment Policies
The RIPs primary investment objective is to maintain the funded status of the plan such that the
likelihood that we will be required to make significant contributions to the plan is limited. This
objective is to be achieved by:
|
|
|
Investing a substantial portion of the plan assets in high quality corporate bonds whose
duration is at least equal to that of the plans liabilities such that there is a
relatively high correlation between the movements of the plans liability and asset values. |
|
|
|
Investing in publicly traded equities in order to increase the ratio of plan assets to
liabilities over time. |
|
|
|
Limiting investment return volatility by diversifying among additional asset classes
with differing expected rates of return and return correlations. |
|
|
|
Using derivatives to either implement investment positions efficiently or to hedge risk
but not to create investment leverage. |
Each asset class utilized by the RIP has a defined asset allocation target and allowable range.
The table below shows the asset allocation target and the December 31, 2010 and 2009 position for
each asset class:

Pension plan assets are required to be reported and disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or
paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the
asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as
quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices
for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or
liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow
methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The assets fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest
level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used
need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value.
There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Long Duration Bonds: Consists of investments in individual corporate bonds as well as investments
in registered investment funds and common and collective trust funds investing in fixed income
securities tailored to institutional investors. Certain corporate bonds are valued based on a
compilation of primarily observable market information or a broker quote in a non-active market.
There are no readily available market quotations for registered investment company funds or common
collective trust funds. The fair value is based on the underlying securities in the funds
portfolio which is typically the amount which the fund might reasonably expect to receive for the
security upon a current sale.
Domestic and International equity securities: Consists of investments in common and preferred
stocks as well as investments in registered investment funds investing in equities tailored to
institutional investors. Common and preferred stocks are valued at the closing price reported on
the active market on which the individual securities are traded. There are no readily available
market quotations for registered investment company funds. The fair value is based on the
underlying securities in the funds portfolio which is typically the amount which the fund might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon a current sale.
High Yield Bonds: Consists of investments in individual corporate bonds as well as an investment in
a registered investment fund investing in fixed income securities tailored to institutional
investors. Certain corporate bonds are valued based on a compilation of primarily observable
market information or a broker quote in a non-active market. There are no readily available market
quotations for registered investment company funds. The fair value is based on the underlying
securities in the funds portfolio which is typically the amount which the fund might reasonably
expect to receive for the security upon a current sale.
Real Estate: The RIPs real estate investments are comprised of both open-end and closed-end
funds. There are no readily available market quotations for these real estate funds. The funds
fair value is based on the underlying real estate assets held by the fund. Underlying real estate
assets are valued on the basis of a discounted cash flow approach, which includes the future rental
receipts, expenses and residual values as the highest and best use of the real estate from a market
participant view. Independent appraisals may also be used to determine fair value for the
underlying assets of these funds.
73
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
Other Investments: Consists of investments in a group insurance annuity contract and a limited
partnership. The fair value for the group insurance annuity contract was determined by discounting
the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations
considering the credit-worthiness of the issuer. For our investment in the limited partnership,
the majority of the partnerships underlying securities are invested in publicly traded securities
which are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual
securities are traded. The remaining other investments within the partnership are valued based on
available inputs, including recent financing rounds, comparable company valuations, and other
available data. The investment in the limited partnership is non-redeemable until the expiration
of the term of the agreement.
Money Market Investments: The money market investment consists of an institutional investor mutual
fund, valued at the funds net asset value (NAV) which is normally calculated at the close of
business daily.
Receivables/Short Term Investments, net: Cash and short term investments consist of cash and cash
equivalents and other payables and receivables (net). The carrying amounts of cash and cash
equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Other
payables and receivables consist primarily of margin on account for a fund, accrued fees and
receivables related to investment positions liquidated for which proceeds had not been received at
December 31. The carrying amounts of payables and receivables approximate fair value due to the
short-term nature of these instruments.
The RIP has $830.0 million and $698.3 million of investments in alternative investment funds at
December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which are reported at fair value, and we
have concluded that the net asset value reported by the underlying fund approximates the fair value
of the investment. These investments are redeemable at NAV under agreements with the underlying
funds. However, it is possible that these redemption rights may be restricted or eliminated by the
funds in the future in accordance with the underlying fund agreements. Due to the nature of the
investments held by the funds, changes in market conditions and the economic environment may
significantly impact the NAV of the funds and, consequently, the fair value of the RIPs interest
in the funds. Furthermore, changes to the liquidity provisions of the funds may significantly
impact the fair value of the RIPs interest in the funds.
Basis of Rate-of-Return Assumption
Long-term asset class return assumptions are determined based on input from investment
professionals on the expected performance of the asset classes over 10 to 20 years. The forecasts
were averaged to come up with consensus passive return forecasts for each asset class. An
incremental component was added for the expected return from active management based both on the
RIPs experience and on historical information obtained from the RIPs investment consultants.
These forecast gross returns were reduced by estimated management fees and expenses, yielding a
long-term return forecast of 8.00% per annum for 2010.

For measurement purposes, average rates of annual increase in the per capita cost of covered health
care benefits of 8.6% for pre-65 retirees and 8.5% for post-65 retirees were assumed for 2011,
decreasing ratably to an ultimate rate of 5% in 2019. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a
significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A one-percentage-point
change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects:

We expect to amortize $20.5 million of previously unrecognized prior service cost and net actuarial
losses into the pension credit in 2011. We expect to amortize $3.4 million of previously
unrecognized net actuarial gains into postretirement benefit cost in 2011.
We expect to contribute $3.9 million to our U.S. defined benefit pension plans and $26.4 million to
our U.S. postretirement benefit plans in 2011.
The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected
to be paid over the next ten years for our U.S. plans:

NON-U.S. PLANS
We have defined benefit pension plans covering employees in a number of foreign countries that
utilize assumptions which are consistent with, but not identical to, those of the U.S. plans. The
following tables summarize the balance sheet impact of foreign pension benefit plans, as well as
the related benefit obligations, assets, funded status and rate assumptions.

Investment Policies
Each of the funded non-US pension plans primary investment objective is to earn sufficient
long-term returns on investments both to increase the ratio of the assets to liabilities in order
for the plans to meet their benefits obligations and to minimize required cash contributions to the
plans. This is to be achieved by (a) investing primarily in publicly-traded equities, (b) limiting
return volatility by diversifying investments among additional asset classes with differing
expected rates of return and return correlations, and (c) utilizing long duration bonds to limit
the volatility of the plans asset/liability ratios.
Each of the plans has a targeted asset allocation for each asset class. The table below shows, for
each asset class, the weighted average of the several plans asset allocation targets and positions
at December 31, 2010 and 2009:

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for non-U.S. plan assets measured at
fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Bonds: Consists of investments in individual corporate bonds as well as investments in pooled
funds investing in fixed income securities tailored to institutional investors. Certain corporate
bonds are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the bond is traded.
There are no readily available market quotations for pooled funds. The fair value is based on the
underlying securities in the funds portfolio which is typically the amount which the fund might
reasonably expect to receive for the security upon a current sale.
Equities: Consists of investments in common and preferred stocks as well as investments in pooled
funds investing in international equities tailored to institutional investors. Equity securities
are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities
are traded. There are no readily available market quotations for pooled funds. The fair value is
based on the underlying securities in the funds portfolio which is typically the amount which the
fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon a current sale.
Real Estate: The plans real estate investments are comprised of pooled real estate mutual funds
valued based on a compilation of primarily observable market information or a broker quote in a
non-active market.
Cash and other Short Term Investments: Cash and short term investments consist primarily of cash
and cash equivalents, and plan receivables/payables. The carrying amounts of cash and cash
equivalents and receivables/payables approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these
instruments.
The non-U.S. pension plans have $185.4 million and $179.9 million of investments in alternative
investment funds at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, which are reported at
fair value. We have concluded that the net asset value reported by the underlying fund
approximates the fair value of the investment. These investments are redeemable at NAV under
agreements with the underlying funds. However, it is possible that these redemption rights may be
restricted or eliminated by the funds in the future in accordance with the underlying fund
agreements. Due to the nature of the investments held by the funds, changes in market conditions
and the economic environment may significantly impact the net asset value of the funds and,
consequently, the fair value of the plans interest in the funds. Furthermore, changes to the
liquidity provisions of the funds may significantly impact the fair value of the plans interest in
the funds.
Basis of Rate-of-Return Assumption
Long-term asset class return forecasts were obtained from investment professionals. The forecasts
were averaged to come up with consensus passive return forecasts for each asset class. These
forecast asset classe
returns were weighted by the plans target asset class weights, yielding a long-term return
forecast of 6.5% for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents of $315.8 million at December 31, 2010 (made up
of bank deposits), receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, short-term debt and current
installments of long-term debt approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these
instruments. The fair value estimates of long-term debt were based upon quotes from a major
financial institution of recently observed trading levels of our Term Loan B debt. The fair value
estimates of foreign currency contract obligations are estimated from market quotes provided by a
well recognized national market data provider. The fair value estimates of natural gas contracts
are estimated by using internal valuation models with verification by obtaining quotes from major
financial institutions. For swap transactions, fair value is verified using NYMEX market quotes
provided by a well recognized national market data provider. For option based strategies, fair
value is verified using an industry standard Black-Scholes model with market based inputs,
including but not limited to, underlying asset price, strike price, implied volatility, discounted
risk free rate and time to expiration, provided by a well recognized national market data provider.
As of December 31, 2010 we also have $30.0 million of restricted cash that is held by a trustee
related to the construction of our West Virginia mineral wool plant. The trustee has invested the
cash in money market investments. The carrying value on our balance sheet approximates the fair
value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments.

NOTE 20. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity
prices that could impact our results of operations and financial condition. We use forward swaps
and option contracts to hedge these exposures. Exposure to individual counterparties is controlled
and derivative financial instruments are entered into with a diversified group of major financial
institutions. Forward swaps and option contracts are entered into for periods consistent with
underlying exposure and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. At inception,
hedges that we designate as hedging instruments under ASC 815 are formally documented as either (1)
a hedge of a forecasted transaction or cash flow hedge, or (2) a hedge of the fair value of a
recognized liability or asset or fair value hedge. We also formally assess both at inception and
at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are
highly effective in offsetting changes in either the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item.
If it is determined that a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, or if the anticipated
transaction is no longer probable of occurring, we discontinue hedge accounting, and any future
mark-to-market adjustments are recognized in earnings. We use derivative financial instruments as
risk management tools and not for speculative trading purposes.
81
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
Counter Party Risk
We only enter into derivative transactions with established counterparties having a credit rating
of A or better. We monitor counterparty credit default swap levels and credit ratings on a regular
basis. All of our derivative transactions with counterparties are governed by master International
Swap Dealer Agreements (ISDAs) with netting arrangements. These agreements can limit our
exposure in situations where we have gain and loss positions outstanding with a single
counterparty. We generally do not post or receive cash collateral with any counterparty for our
derivative transactions. As of December 31, 2010, we had no cash collateral posted or received for
any of our derivative transactions. These ISDA agreements do not have any credit contingent
features; however, a default under our bank credit facility would trigger a default under these
agreements. Exposure to individual counterparties is controlled, and thus we consider the risk of
counterparty default to be negligible.
Commodity Price Risk We purchase natural gas for use in the manufacture of ceiling tiles
and other products, and to heat many of our facilities. As a result, we are exposed to movements
in the price of natural gas. We have a policy to reduce cost volatility for North American natural
gas purchases by purchasing natural gas forward contracts and swaps, purchased call options, and
zero-cost collars up to 15 months forward to reduce our overall exposure to natural gas price
movements. There is a high correlation between the hedged item and the hedged instrument. The
gains and losses on these transactions offset gains and losses on the transactions being hedged.
These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009
the notional amount of these hedges was $37 million and $42 million, respectively. The
mark-to-market gain or loss on qualifying hedges is included in other comprehensive income to the
extent effective, and reclassified into cost of goods sold in the period during which the
underlying gas is consumed. The mark-to-market gains or losses on ineffective portions of hedges
are recognized in cost of goods sold immediately. The earnings impact of the ineffective portion
of these hedges was not material for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The contracts are
based on forecasted usage of natural gas measured in mmBtus.
In June 2009, we de-designated several monthly natural gas hedge contracts maturing through May
2010 due to their over hedged positions. The over hedged positions were due to updated projected
production volumes (and gas usage) at our U.S. ceilings plants that were significantly lower than
originally forecasted when we entered into the hedges. We discontinued hedge accounting on the
hedges and re-designated a portion of the original contracts based upon our revised forecasts,
which were designated as cash flow hedges. Starting in July 2009 the fair value adjustments for
the portion of the derivative contracts not designated as a hedge were recognized in cost of goods
sold. The earnings impact related to the over hedged portion of these hedges was not material for
the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Currency Rate Risk
Sales and Purchases We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries
throughout the world and, as a result, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange
rates. To a large extent, our global manufacturing and sales provide a natural hedge of foreign
currency exchange rate movement, as foreign currency expenses generally offset foreign currency
revenues. We manage our cash flow exposures on a net basis and use derivatives to hedge the
majority of our unmatched foreign currency cash inflows and outflows. As of December 31, 2010, our
major foreign currency exposures are to the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar, and the Euro.
We use foreign currency forward exchange contracts to reduce our exposure to the risk that the
eventual net cash inflows and outflows resulting from the sale of products to foreign customers and
purchases from foreign suppliers will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These
derivative instruments are used for forecasted transactions and are classified as cash flow hedges.
Cash flow hedges are executed quarterly, generally up to 15 months forward, and allow us to
further reduce our overall exposure to exchange rate movements, since gains and losses on these
contracts offset gains and losses on the transactions being hedged. The notional amount of these
hedges was $89.9 million and $86.7 million at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
respectively. Gains and losses on
these instruments are recorded in other comprehensive income, to the extent effective, until the
82
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
underlying transaction is recognized in earnings. The earnings impact of the ineffective portion
of these hedges was not material for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Intercompany Loans and Dividends We also use foreign currency forward exchange contracts
to hedge exposures created by cross-currency intercompany loans and dividends. The underlying
intercompany loans are classified as short-term, and translation adjustments related to these loans
are recorded in other non-operating income or expense. The offsetting gains or losses on the
related derivative contracts are also recorded in other non-operating income or expense. These
contracts are decreased or increased as repayments are made or additional intercompany loans are
extended or adjusted for intercompany dividend activity as necessary. The notional amount of
these hedges was $143.2 million and $8.3 million at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009,
respectively.
Financial Statement Impacts
Our derivative assets, whether or not designated as hedging instruments, were not material for the
years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

NOTE 21. GUARANTEES
In disposing of assets, we have entered into contracts that included various indemnity provisions,
covering such matters as taxes, environmental liabilities and asbestos and other litigation. Some
of these contracts have exposure limits, but many do not. Due to the nature of the indemnities, it
is not possible to estimate the potential maximum exposure under these contracts. For contracts
under which an indemnity claim has been received, a liability of $4.9 million has been recorded as
of December 31, 2010.

NOTE 22. PRODUCT WARRANTIES
We provide direct customer and end-user warranties for our products. These warranties cover
manufacturing defects that would prevent the product from performing in line with its intended and
marketed use. The terms of these warranties vary by product and generally provide for the repair
or replacement of the defective product. We collect and analyze warranty claims data with a focus
on the historic amount of claims, the products involved, the amount of time between the warranty
claims and their respective sales and the amount of current sales.

NOTE 24. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2006 Plan) authorizes us to issue stock options, stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock units, performance-based awards and cash awards
to officers and key employees. No more than 5,349,000 common shares may be issued under the 2006
Plan, and the 2006 Plan will terminate on October 2, 2016, after which time no further awards may
be made. As of December 31, 2010, 2,001,535 shares were available for future grants under the 2006
plan.
For grants made between our Chapter 11 emergence on October 2, 2006 and October 17, 2006, options
were granted to purchase shares at a price equal to the volume weighted average closing price of
the shares for the period October 18, 2006 through October 31, 2006. For grants made on or after
October 18, 2006, options were granted to purchase shares at prices equal to the closing market
price of the shares on the dates the options were granted. The options generally become
exercisable in two to four years and expire 10 years from the date of grant.
In August 2009 TPG and the Asbestos PI Trust entered into an agreement whereby TPG purchased
7,000,000 shares of AWI common stock from the Asbestos PI Trust, and acquired an economic interest
in an additional 1,039,777 shares from the Asbestos PI Trust. The Asbestos PI Trust and TPG
together
hold more than 60% of AWIs outstanding shares and have entered into a shareholders agreement
85
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
pursuant to which the Asbestos PI Trust and TPG have agreed to vote their shares together on
certain matters. Under the terms of the 2006 Plan, a change in control occurred as a result of the
Asbestos PI Trust and TPG agreement, causing the accelerated vesting of all unvested stock-based
compensation. The non-cash charge to earnings related to this accelerated vesting was $31.6
million and was recorded within SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2009.

We have reserved sufficient authorized shares to allow us to issue new shares upon exercise of all
outstanding options. When options are actually exercised, we may issue new shares, use treasury
shares (if available), acquire shares held by investors, or a combination of these alternatives in
order to satisfy the option exercises. The total grant date fair value of options exercised during
the year ended December 31, 2010 was $6.2 million. Cash proceeds received from options exercised
for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $13.3 million.

The fair value of option grants was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The weighted average assumptions for the years 2010, 2009 and 2008 are presented in
the table below.

The risk free rate of return is determined based on the implied yield available on zero coupon U.S.
Treasury bills at the time of grant with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option.
Because reorganized Armstrongs stock has only been trading since the fourth quarter of 2006, the
expected volatility is established based on an average of the actual historical volatilities of the
stock prices of a peer group of companies. The expected life is the midpoint of the average
vesting period and the contractual life of the grant. For the same reasons mentioned earlier we
are using an allowable simplified method to determine an appropriate expected term for our option
valuation assumptions. The expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero because, at the time of
each grant, we had no plans to declare a dividend. The assumptions outlined above are applicable
to all option grants.
Under the terms of the 2006 Plan, the Management Development and Compensation Committee of our
Board of Directors is required to make equitable adjustments to stock option grants if there is a
change in our capital structure. The special cash dividend in December 2010 qualified as a change
to our capital structure under the terms of the 2006 Plan. We used the Black-Scholes option
pricing model to determine the fair value of the awards before and after the special cash dividend,
using consistent assumptions for the risk free rate of return, expected term, expected volatility
and expected dividend yield. The stock prices used in the before and after calculations were
$52.86 (the NYSE volume weighted average stock price on December 10, 2010, the day before the
ex-dividend date) and $40.59 (the NYSE volume weighted average stock price on December 13, 2010,
the ex-dividend date), respectively. For all option grants, the fair value of the award before and
after the dividend remained the same. Therefore, there was no incremental cost recognized in our
financial statements due to these award modifications. The following changes were made to the
options outstanding as a result of this change:

In 2010 we granted predominantly performance based stock awards to the participants in our long
term incentive plan. These awards entitled the recipient to a specified number of shares of
Armstrongs common stock, provided the defined financial targets were achieved over the one year
performance period, and the subsequent two year service period was fulfilled. The financial
performance targets were met. In addition to these awards we granted our Chief Executive Officer
performance restricted stock units vesting equally on December 31, 2012 and 2013, provided that
specified stock price targets are achieved.

In addition to the equity awards described above, as of December 31, 2010 we had 30,924
fully-vested phantom shares outstanding for non-employee directors under the 2006 Phantom Stock
Unit Plan. These awards are settled in cash and generally had vesting periods of one to three
years. The awards are generally payable six months following the directors separation from
service. The total liability recorded for these shares as of December 31, 2010 was $2.1 million.
The awards under the 2006 Phantom Stock Unit Plan are not reflected in the Non-Vested Stock Awards
tables above. The 2006 Phantom Stock Unit Plan is still in place; however, no additional shares
will be granted under that plan.
During 2008, we adopted the 2008 Directors Stock Unit Plan. At December 31, 2010 and 2009 there
were 119,763 and 141,782 restricted stock units, respectively, outstanding under the 2008 Directors
Stock Unit Plan. In 2010 and 2009 we granted 59,981 and 29,832 restricted stock units,
respectively, to non-employee directors. These awards generally have vesting periods of one to
three years, and. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, 72,147 and 111,950 shares, respectively, were
vested but not yet delivered. The awards are generally payable six months following the directors
separation from service. During 2010 we released 61,084 shares to four retired directors.
Additionally as a result of these retirements the directors forfeited 20,916 shares in 2010. The
awards granted under the 2008 Directors Stock Unit Plan are not reflected in the Non-Vested Stock
Awards tables above.
We recognize share-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
Share-based compensation cost was $5.6 million ($3.7 million net of tax benefit) in 2010; $38.9
million ($29.6 million net of tax benefit), including the impact of the accelerated vesting, in
2009, and $8.1 million ($5.2 million net of tax benefit) in 2008. Share-based compensation expense
is recorded as a component of SG&A expenses. The benefits of tax deductions in excess of grant
date fair value from the exercise of stock options and vesting of stock-based awards for the years
ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $2.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively. To the extent
the vesting date value is greater than the grant date value, the excess tax benefit is a credit to
additional paid in capital (APIC), but only if it reduces income tax currently payable. Due to
our NOL, the credit to APIC will be suspended until the NOL is fully utilized.
As of December 31, 2010, there was $15.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to
non-vested share-based compensation arrangements. That cost is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
NOTE 25. EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
Employee compensation is presented in the table below. Charges for severance costs and early
retirement incentives to terminated employees that were otherwise recorded as restructuring charges
have been excluded.

NOTE 30. RELATED PARTIES
We purchase grid products from WAVE, our 50%-owned joint venture with Worthington Industries. The
total amount of these purchases was approximately $79 million in 2010, $67 million in 2009, and $98
million in 2008. We also provide certain selling, promotional and administrative processing
services to WAVE for which we receive reimbursement. Those services amounted to $15.2 million in
2010, $14.2 million in 2009, and $16.1 million in 2008. The net amounts due from us to WAVE for
all of our relationships were $2.0 million and $4.1 million at the end of 2010 and 2009,
respectively. See Note 10 for additional information.
We incurred approximately $3.1 million and $0.6 million in consulting fees related to services
provided by an affiliate of TPG in 2010 and 2009, respectively. The amounts due, from us to the
TPG affiliate, were
91

(dollar amounts in millions)
$0.6 million and $0.2 million at the end of 2010 and 2009, respectively. See Note 1 for additional
information.
NOTE 31. LITIGATION AND RELATED MATTERS
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Environmental Expenditures
Our manufacturing and research facilities are affected by various federal, state and local
requirements relating to the discharge of materials and the protection of the environment. We make
expenditures necessary for compliance with applicable environmental requirements at each of our
operating facilities. Regulatory requirements continually change, therefore we cannot predict with
certainty future expenditures associated with compliance with environmental requirements.
Environmental Remediation
Summary
We are actively involved in proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), and similar state Superfund laws at several off-site
locations. We have also been investigating and/or remediating environmental contamination
allegedly resulting from past industrial activity at several current or former plant sites. In a
few cases, we are one of several potentially responsible parties (PRPs) which have potential
liability for the required investigation and remediation of each site. In those cases, we have
agreed to jointly fund that required investigation and remediation, while preserving our defenses
to the liability. We may also have rights of contribution or reimbursement from other parties or
coverage under applicable insurance policies.
Estimates of our future environmental liability at the Superfund sites and current or former plant
sites are based on evaluations of currently available facts regarding each individual site. We
consider factors such as our activities associated with the site, existing technology, presently
enacted laws and regulations and prior company experience in remediating contaminated sites.
Although current law imposes joint and several liability on all parties at Superfund sites, our
contribution to the remediation of these sites is expected to be limited by the number of other
companies potentially liable for site remediation. As a result, our estimated liability reflects
only our expected share. In determining the probability of contribution, we consider the solvency
of other parties, whether liability is being disputed, the terms of any existing agreements and
experience with similar matters, and the effect of our Chapter 11 reorganization upon the validity
of the claim.
Specific Events
In August 2010 we entered into a Consent Order with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality
(ODEQ) along with Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc. (Kaiser), and Owens Corning Sales LLC (OC) with
respect to our St. Helens, Oregon facility, which was previously owned by Kaiser and then OC. The
Consent Order, which replaces a previous order of the ODEQ requiring us to investigate and
remediate hazardous substances present at the facility, requires that we and Kaiser complete a
remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) on the portion of the site owned by us. The
Consent Order further requires us, Kaiser and OC to conduct an RI/FS in the adjacent Scappoose Bay.
Estimates of our future liability at the site include our estimate of the cost of the
investigation work agreed to with ODEQ. Estimates of future liability also include our estimate of
the cost of possible remedies for certain portions of the property owned by us. The RI/FS for the
portion of the property owned by us is not yet complete. It is probable that additional corrective
action for the portion of the property owned by us will be required. Such corrective action may
result in additional costs greater than currently estimated, and may be material. We currently are
not able to estimate with reasonable certainty the total cost of liability that we may ultimately
incur with respect to the Scappoose Bay, although it is possible that such amounts may be material.
Costs and responsibilities for the RI/FS for certain portions of the property owned by us continue
to be shared with Kaiser pursuant to an agreement between Kaiser and us. Limited contributions to
these costs are also being made available by ODEQ pursuant to its settlement with OC for OCs
liabilities for the property. In
92
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
August 2010, contemporaneously with the execution of the Consent Order, we, Kaiser and OC entered
into a cost allocation agreement for the investigation and possible remediation of the Scappoose
Bay.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has informed us that it has proposed that two
landfills located on a portion of our facility in Macon, Georgia, along with the former Macon Naval
Ordnance Plant landfill adjacent to our property, and portions of Rocky Creek, collectively the
Macon Site, be added to the National Priorities List due to the presence of contaminants, most
notably PCBs. In September 2010 we entered into an Administrative Order on Consent for a Removal
Action with the EPA to investigate PCB contamination in one of the landfills on our property that
will be a portion of the proposed Superfund Site. Our recorded liability includes estimated costs
for work that is anticipated to be performed under the Order. Additionally, we will ultimately
incur expenses for closure or some form of action on the landfill. While those amounts are not
reasonably estimable at this time due to the early stages of the investigation, they may be
material. Additionally, it is probable that we will incur field investigation, engineering and
oversight costs associated with an RI/FS with respect to the remainder of the proposed Superfund
site, including Rocky Creek. We, along with other parties, may also ultimately incur costs in
remedying contamination discovered during the RI/FS. While we are not currently able to estimate
with reasonable certainty any amounts we may incur with respect to those activities, such amounts
may be material.
Summary of Financial Position
Liabilities of $8.3 million and $6.3 million at December 31, 2010 and, 2009, respectively, were
recorded for potential environmental liabilities that we consider probable and for which a
reasonable estimate of the probable liability could be made. Where existing data is sufficient to
estimate the liability, that estimate has been used; where only a range of probable liabilities is
available and no amount within that range is more likely than any other, the lower end of the range
has been used. As assessments and remediation activities progress at each site, these liabilities
are reviewed to reflect new information as it becomes available. These liabilities are
undiscounted.
The estimated liabilities above do not take into account any claims for recoveries from insurance
or third parties. It is our policy to record probable recoveries that are either available through
settlement or anticipated to be recovered through negotiation or litigation as assets in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. No amounts were recorded for probable recoveries at December 31, 2010
and 2009.
Actual costs to be incurred at identified sites may vary from our estimates. Based on our current
knowledge of the identified sites, we are not able to estimate with reasonable certainty future
costs which may exceed amounts already recognized.
CUSTOMS LITIGATION
In 2002 we began protesting the classification and 6% duty rate then being applied by the U.S.
government on imports of our laminate flooring. After administrative denial of several of these
protests, we filed a lawsuit against the United States in the U.S. Court of International Trade
(New York), challenging the U.S. governments classification and duty rate and its administrative
denial of our protests. With the agreement of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Armstrongs
case was placed on the reserve calendar pending resolution of two test cases challenging the
classification and applicable duty rate of similar laminate flooring. The test cases were decided
in 2008 by the U.S. Court of International Trade, which found in favor of the U.S. government. The
plaintiffs appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In September 2009 the
Court of Appeals reversed the decisions of the Court of International Trade and found that the
laminate flooring in the test cases should have been classified differently, and that a 3.2% duty
rate should have been applied. Upon expiration of the U.S. governments period to file notice of
further appeals, we filed a stipulation request with the DOJ to stipulate that our case covered
imports of laminate flooring which were like goods for which the 3.2% duty rate likewise should
apply. After review by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (Customs), the DOJ agreed to our
proposed stipulation, which was approved by the U.S. Court of International Trade in March 2010.
The stipulation provided a refund of a portion of duties paid by us on the imported laminate
flooring at issue in the case, and further allows us to recover refunds on additional entries of
laminate flooring which were properly protested. We have sought refunds on protested imports of
laminate
93
Armstrong World Industries, Inc., and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(dollar amounts in millions)
flooring from April 2001 through January 2007, when the classification was corrected by statute.
We began receiving refunds in March 2010, and have received $9.7 million through December 31, 2010.
Of this amount, $7.2 million was recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold within our
Resilient Flooring segment, and $2.5 million was recorded as interest income reported within other
non-operating income.
ANTIDUMPING AND COUNTERVAILING DUTY PETITION
On October 21, 2010, a coalition of U.S. producers of multilayered wood flooring (not including
Armstrong) filed antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) petitions regarding
multilayered hardwood flooring from China. The AD petition requests that the Department of
Commerce impose duties of up to 269% on imports of multilayered hardwood flooring, which it claims
is needed to offset unfair pricing from Chinese imports that injure the U.S. industry. The CVD
petition requests an unspecified level of duties be imposed on importers to offset alleged unfair
subsidies provided by the Chinese government (such as the undervaluation of the Chinese currency,
various tax benefits for foreign-invested enterprises, VAT and tariff exemptions on imported
equipment, and electricity being provided at artificially low rates).
We are a domestic producer of multilayered wood flooring. We produce multilayered wood flooring
domestically, import from suppliers in China, and have a plant in China that manufactures
multilayered wood flooring for export to the U.S. We are specifically mentioned in the AD and CVD
petitions as an importer. Under the U.S. AD and CVD laws, a U.S. importer may be responsible for
the payment of any antidumping and countervailing duties. The Department of Commerce and the
International Trade Commission investigations are ongoing but the outcome of the case remains
uncertain. As a result, at this time we cannot determine whether an adverse ruling is probable or
estimable. However, if such an adverse ruling were to be issued, we could be subject to duties on
multilayered hardwood flooring imported from China, and it is possible such duties could be
material.
DIVESTITURE DISPUTE
In 2007 we sold Tapijtfabriek H. Desseaux N.V. and its subsidiaries the principal operating
companies in our European Textile and Sports Flooring business. Certain post completion
adjustments specified in the agreement were disputed by the parties after the sale. The matter was
referred to an independent expert for a binding determination. In December 2008 a decision was
reached with all disputed items awarded in our favor. Full payment of $8.0 million was received in
January 2009. The purchaser filed an appeal to nullify the independent experts decision. An
appeal hearing was held in May 2010. The court ruled in our favor on all matters in this dispute
in July 2010.
OTHER CLAIMS
Additionally, from time to time we may be involved in various other claims and legal actions
involving product liability, patent infringement, breach of contract, distributor termination,
employment law issues and other actions arising in the ordinary course of business. While complete
assurance cannot be given to the outcome of these claims, we do not currently believe losses
related to these matters would be material.

NOTE 33. SPECIAL CASH DIVIDEND
On November 23, 2010 our Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend in the amount of
$13.74 per share, or $803.3 million in the aggregate. The special cash dividend, $798.6 million,
was paid on December 10, 2010 to shareholders of record as of December 3, 2010. The unpaid
portion of the dividend, $4.7 million, is reflected in other long term liabilities and will be paid
when the underlying employee shares vest. The dividend was funded in part by the proceeds of the
new term loans remaining after repayment of previous debt and in part with existing cash.
NOTE 34. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In February 2011 we announced plans to idle our Wood Flooring manufacturing plant in Statesville,
North Carolina effective April 30, 2011. We plan to service our customers ongoing requirements
from our other U.S. facilities. This action will reduce employment by approximately 115 positions.
