NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
 
1.    GENERAL
Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Owens Corning,” “Company,” “we” and “our” in this report refer to Owens Corning, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.
The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report are unaudited, pursuant to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, in the opinion of the Company, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods indicated, which, however, are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2017 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S."). In connection with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in this report, reference is made to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the "2017 Form 10-K"). Certain reclassifications have been made to the periods presented for 2017 to conform to the classifications used in the periods presented for 2018.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

On the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the total of Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash includes restricted cash of $7 million, $7 million, $7 million and $6 million as of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Restricted cash primarily represents amounts received from a counterparty related to its performance assurance on an executory contract, and is included in Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts are contractually required to be set aside, and the counterparty can exchange the cash for another form of performance assurance at its discretion.

Accounting Pronouncements

The following table summarizes recent accounting standard updates (ASU) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that could have an impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements:
Standard
Description
Effective Date for Company
Effect on the
Consolidated Financial Statements
Recently adopted standards:
 
 
 
ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," as amended by ASU's 2015-14, 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-11, 2016-12, 2016-20, 2017-05 and 2017-13 and 2017-14.
This standard outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Entities can adopt this standard either through a retrospective or modified-retrospective approach.
January 1, 2018
The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Please refer to Note 3 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for transition disclosures, as well as other ongoing disclosure requirements.
ASU 2016-16 "Income Taxes (Topic 740)"

This standard requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs.

January 1, 2018

The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Please refer to Note 16 for a detailed explanation of the cumulative effect of adoption recognized on January 1, 2018.
ASU 2017-07 "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)"

This standard requires that the other components of net benefit cost be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. Entities will adopt the presentation elements of this standard on a retrospective basis.

January 1, 2018

The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The standard's retrospective adoption, though, will result in a full-year $60 million reclassification of non-service costs from various financial statement lines to non-operating expense, primarily related to pension settlement losses that were recorded in the second and fourth quarters of 2017 (as described in Note 13 of our 2017 Form 10-K). Please refer to Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail on this adoption.
ASU 2017-12 "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)"


This standard changes how an entity assesses effectiveness of derivative instruments, potentially resulting in less ineffectiveness and more derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting. Entities may early adopt the standard in any interim period, with the effect of adoption being applied to existing hedging relationships as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.

January 1, 2018

The early adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Please refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail on this adoption.
Recently issued standards:
 
 
 
ASU 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)," as amended by ASU 2017-13, 2018-01 and 2018-10, and potentially subject to change through the "Targeted Improvements" Proposed ASU exposure draft released on January 5, 2018.
The standard requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The recognition and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. Entities will adopt this standard through a retrospective approach with certain practical expedients available, the extent to which will be affected by the proposed ASU draft.
January 1, 2019
We are currently assessing the potential impact of this standard adoption on our financial reporting processes and disclosures. We believe that our adoption of the standard will likely have a material impact to our Consolidated Balance Sheets for the recognition of certain operating leases as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. (Our operating lease obligations are described in Note 8 of our 2017 Form 10-K.) We are in the process of analyzing our lease portfolio, implementing systems, developing processes and finalizing our accounting policies to comply with the standard's retrospective adoption requirements.
ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)"
This standard replaces the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses with a current expected credit losses model and applies to all financial assets, including trade receivables. Entities will adopt the standard using a modified-retrospective approach.
January 1, 2020
We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our current accounts receivable policy (as described in Note 1 of our 2017 Form 10-K) uses historical and current information to estimate the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We have not yet analyzed our current systems and methods to determine the impact of using forward-looking information to estimate expected credit losses.

2.    SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has three reportable segments: Composites, Insulation and Roofing. Accounting policies for the segments are the same as those for the Company. The Company’s three reportable segments are defined as follows:
Composites – The Composites segment includes vertically integrated downstream activities. The Company manufactures, fabricates and sells glass reinforcements in the form of fiber. Glass reinforcement materials are also used downstream by the Composites segment to manufacture and sell glass fiber products in the form of fabrics, non-wovens and other specialized products.
Insulation – Within our Insulation segment, the Company manufactures and sells fiberglass insulation into residential, commercial, industrial and other markets for both thermal and acoustical applications. It also manufactures and sells glass fiber pipe insulation, flexible duct media, bonded and granulated mineral wool insulation, cellular glass insulation and foam insulation used in above- and below-grade construction applications.
Roofing – Within our Roofing segment, the Company manufactures and sells residential roofing shingles, oxidized asphalt materials, roofing components used in residential and commercial construction and specialty applications, and synthetic packaging materials.

NET SALES
The following table summarizes our Net sales by segment and geographic region (in millions). Corporate eliminations (shown below) largely reflect intercompany sales from Composites to Roofing. External customer sales are attributed to geographic region based upon the location from which the product is shipped to the external customer.

EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST AND TAXES

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by segment consist of net sales less related costs and expenses and are presented on a basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance. Certain items, such as general corporate expenses or income and certain other expense or income items, are excluded from the internal evaluation of segment performance. Accordingly, these items are not reflected in EBIT for our reportable segments and are included within Corporate, Other and Eliminations.

3.    REVENUE

ASU 2014-09 Adoption
On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" and the related amendments (collectively, "ASC 606"). We used the modified retrospective method of adoption, in which the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard to existing contracts (as of January 1, 2018) was recorded as a $2 million decrease to the January 1, 2018 opening balance of Accumulated earnings. The effect of this adoption was immaterial to our Consolidated Financial Statements, and we do not expect a material effect to our Consolidated Financial Statements on an ongoing basis. Under the modified-retrospective method of adoption, the comparative information in the Consolidated Financial Statements has not been revised and continues to be reported under the previously applicable revenue accounting guidance ("ASC 605"). If ASC 605 had been applied to the first six months of 2018, Inventories and Accumulated earnings would have been $2 million higher on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with no effect to the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Revenue Recognition
Many of our customer volume commitments are short-term and our performance obligations are generally limited to single purchase orders. Substantially all of our revenue is recognized at a point-in-time when control of goods transfers to the customer. Control transfer typically occurs when goods are shipped from our facilities or at other predetermined control transfer points (for instance, destination terms or consignment arrangements). We have elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related good transfers as fulfillment activities instead of performance obligations. We used the practical expedients to omit the disclosure of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less and for contracts where we have the right to invoice for performance completed to date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(unaudited)

3.    REVENUE (continued)


We recognize revenue as the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to customers. We do not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component, as the time period between control transfer of goods and services and expected payment is one year or less. At the time of sale, we estimate provisions for different forms of variable consideration (discounts, rebates, returns and other refund liabilities) based on historical experience, current conditions and contractual obligations, as applicable. The estimated transaction price is typically not subject to significant reversals. We adjust these estimates when the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive changes, although these changes are typically minor. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the adjustments related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods were immaterial. Sales, value-added and other similar taxes that we collect are excluded from revenue.

Please refer to Note 2 and Item 1 of our 2017 Form 10-K for further information on our three reportable segments (Composites, Insulation and Roofing). Our contracts with customers are broadly similar in nature throughout our reportable segments, but the amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows may vary in each reportable segment due to geographic and end-market economic factors.
In the United States, sales are primarily related to the residential housing market and commercial and industrial applications. Residential market demand is driven by housing starts and repair and remodeling activity (influenced by existing home sales, seasonal home improvement and damage from major storms). Significant portions of our residential products are used interchangeably in both new construction and repair and remodeling, and our customers typically distribute (or use) the products for both applications. U.S. commercial and industrial revenues are largely driven by U.S. industrial production growth.
Outside of the United States (Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of world), sales are primarily related to commercial and industrial applications and, to a lesser extent, residential applications in certain countries. Throughout the international regions, demand is primarily driven by industrial production growth in each respective geographical region.

3.    REVENUE (continued)


Contract Balances
We typically do not satisfy performance obligations without obtaining an unconditional right to payment from customers and, therefore, do not carry contract asset balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liability balances are recorded separately from receivables on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in either Accounts payable and accrued liabilities or Other liabilities, depending on the timing of performance obligation satisfaction.
We sell separately-priced warranties that extend certain product and workmanship coverages beyond our standard product warranty, which is described in Note 9. The up-front consideration on extended warranty contracts is deferred and recognized as revenue over time, based on the respective coverage period, ranging from 16 to 20 years. On an annual basis, we expect to recognize approximately $2 million of revenue associated with these extended warranty contracts. Additionally, in certain limited cases, we receive consideration before goods or services are transferred to the customer. These customer down payments and deposits are deferred, and typically recognized as revenue in the following quarter when we satisfy the related performance obligations.
As of January 1, 2018, our contract liability balances (for extended warranties, down payments and deposits, collectively) totaled $46 million, of which $13 million was recognized as revenue in the first six months of 2018. As of June 30, 2018, our contract liability balances totaled $52 million.
As a practical expedient, we recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract, if any, as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset would have been one year or less. We do not have any costs to obtain or fulfill a contract that are capitalized under ASC 606.

5.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to, among other risks, the impact of changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates in the normal course of business. The Company’s risk management program is designed to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks, and utilizes derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks, and does not enter into such transactions for trading purposes.
The Company generally does not require collateral or other security with counterparties to these financial instruments and is therefore subject to credit risk in the event of nonperformance; however, the Company monitors credit risk and currently does not anticipate nonperformance by other parties. Contracts with counterparties generally contain right of offset provisions. These provisions effectively reduce the Company’s exposure to credit risk in situations where the Company has gain and loss positions outstanding with a single counterparty. It is the Company’s policy to offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets the amounts recognized for derivative instruments with any cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any amounts on deposit with any of its counterparties, nor did any of its counterparties have any amounts on deposit with the Company.
During the first quarter of 2018, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)," which was issued with the objective of improving the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and to make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of previously applicable hedge accounting guidance. This adoption did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements, and did not result in any cumulative adjustment to equity as of the date of adoption. Please refer to the Cash Flow Hedges and Net Investment Hedges paragraphs below for further information.

5.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)


Derivative Fair Values
Our derivatives consist of natural gas forward swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts, all of which are over-the-counter and not traded through an exchange. The Company uses widely accepted valuation tools to determine fair value, such as discounting cash flows to calculate a present value for the derivatives. The models use Level 2 inputs, such as forward curves and other commonly quoted observable transactions and prices. The fair value of our derivatives and hedging instruments are all classified as Level 2 investments within the three-tier hierarchy.
The following table presents the fair value of derivatives and hedging instruments and the respective location on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses a combination of derivative financial instruments, which qualify as cash flow hedges, and physical contracts to manage forecasted exposure to electricity and natural gas prices. The Company's policy for electricity exposure is to hedge up to 75% of its total forecasted exposure for the current calendar year and up to 65% of its total forecasted exposure for the first calendar year forward. The Company’s policy for natural gas exposure is to hedge up to 75% of its total forecasted exposure for the next three months and up to 60% of its total forecasted exposure for the following three months, and lesser amounts for the remaining periods. Based on market conditions, approved variation from these standard policies may occur. Currently, the Company is managing risk associated with electricity prices only through physical contracts and has natural gas derivatives designated as

hedging instruments that mature within 15 months. As of June 30, 2018, the notional amounts of these natural gas forward swaps was 3 MMBtu (or MMBtu equivalent) based on U.S. and European indices.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company had notional amounts of $18 million for derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges for foreign currency exposures in Polish Zloty primarily related to European Euro, and also $18 million for exposures in Swedish Krona primarily related to European Euro.
The Company performs an analysis for effectiveness of its derivatives designated as hedging instruments at the end of each quarter based on the terms of the contracts and the underlying items being hedged. The change in the fair value of cash flow hedges is deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income (deficit) ("AOCI") and is subsequently recognized in Cost of sales (for commodity and foreign currency cash flow hedges) on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in order to mirror the location of the hedged items impacting earnings. Cash settlements for commodity and foreign currency hedges qualifying as cash flow hedges are included in Other operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
As of June 30, 2018, $1 million of gains included in AOCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheet relate to natural gas and foreign currency forward contracts that are expected to impact earnings during the next 12 months. Transactions and events that are expected to occur over the next 12 months that will necessitate recognizing these deferred amounts include the recognition of the hedged item through earnings.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company has translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into U.S. Dollars, which is recognized in Currency translation adjustment (a component of AOCI). The Company uses cross-currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. As of June 30, 2018, the notional amount of these derivative financial instruments was $516 million related to the U.S Dollar and European Euro.
In the first quarter of 2018, we redesignated these derivative financial instruments that qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations using the spot method. The changes in fair values of these derivative instruments are recognized in Currency translation adjustment (a component of AOCI), with recognition of the excluded components amortized to Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. For the first six months of 2018, the difference between the change in fair value of the excluded components and the amounts recognized to earnings was a $17 million increase to the net fair value liability. Prior to our first quarter 2018 adoption of ASU 2017-12, all settlements and changes in fair values of these derivative instruments were recognized in Currency translation adjustment (a component of AOCI), and there has been no ineffectiveness on these hedging relationships. Cash settlements are included in Other investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Other Derivatives
The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts to manage existing exposures to foreign exchange risk related to assets and liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had notional amounts of $763 million for non-designated derivative financial instruments related to foreign currency exposures in U.S. Dollars primarily related to Brazilian Real, Chinese Yuan, European Euro, Indian Rupee, Japanese Yen, and South Korean Won. The growth in notional amounts (as compared to $109 million at December 31, 2017) was primarily related to new derivative financial instruments used to hedge increased European Euro balance sheet exposures following our acquisition of Paroc Group Oy ("Paroc"). In addition, the Company had notional amounts of $157 million for non-designated derivative financial instruments related to foreign currency exposures in European Euro primarily related to the Russian Ruble, Polish Zloty and Swedish Krona.
Gains and losses resulting from the changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in Other expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, and are substantially offset by net revaluation impacts on foreign currency denominated balance sheet exposures (which are also recorded in Other expenses, net).

8.    ACQUISITIONS

During the first six months of 2018, the Company completed acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of $1,147 million, net of cash acquired.

Paroc Acquisition

On February 5, 2018, the Company acquired all the outstanding equity of Paroc, a leading producer of mineral wool insulation for building and technical applications in Europe, for approximately $1,121 million (approximately 900 million Euro), net of cash acquired. The acquisition of Paroc expands the Company's mineral wool technology, grows its presence in the European insulation market, provides access to a variety of new end-use markets and will increase the Insulation segment's geographic sales mix outside of the U.S. and Canada. Paroc's operating results and a preliminary purchase price allocation have been included in the Company’s Insulation segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is continuing to obtain information to complete its valuation of certain assets and liabilities. During the quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded certain immaterial measurement period adjustments to the purchase price allocation which are reflected in the value of goodwill noted below.

During the first six months of 2018, the Consolidated Statements of Earnings included $215 million in Net sales attributable to the acquisition and a $2 million charge related to inventory fair value step-up in Cost of Sales. The acquisition also included Property, plant and equipment, net with a fair value of approximately $306 million and deferred tax liabilities of $99 million. Goodwill has been initially valued at approximately $486 million, with none of the amount expected to be tax-deductible. The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. The Company has not yet assigned the goodwill acquired to a reporting unit. The acquisition also included cash of approximately $17 million. The Company expects to complete its valuations no later than one year from the acquisition date and adjustments will continue to be made to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Those adjustments may or may not be material. The pro forma effect of this acquisition on Net sales and Net earnings attributable to Owens Corning was immaterial. 

Pittsburgh Corning Acquisition
On June 27, 2017, the Company acquired all the outstanding equity of Pittsburgh Corning Corporation and Pittsburgh Corning Europe NV (collectively, "Pittsburgh Corning"), the world’s leading producer of cellular glass insulation systems for commercial and industrial markets, for approximately $563 million, net of cash acquired. This acquisition expands the Company’s position in commercial and industrial product offerings and grows its presence in Europe and Asia. Pittsburgh Corning's operating results since the date of acquisition and purchase price allocation have been included in the Company's Insulation segment in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Consolidated Statements of Earnings included $128 million in Net sales attributable to the Pittsburgh Corning acquisition (related to the one-year post-acquisition period). Goodwill has been valued at approximately $155 million, with none of the amount expected to be tax-deductible. The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. The acquisition also included cash of approximately $52 million. The pro forma effect of this acquisition on Net sales and Net earnings attributable to Owens Corning was not material.

RESTRUCTURING AND ACQUISITION-RELATED COSTS (continued)


Restructuring Costs

Pittsburgh Corning Acquisition-Related Restructuring
Following the acquisition of Pittsburgh Corning into the Company's Insulation segment, the Company took actions to realize expected synergies from the newly acquired operations. During the first six months of 2018, the Company recorded $1 million of accelerated depreciation related to these actions. The Company expects to incur an immaterial amount of incremental costs in the remainder of 2018 related to these actions.

2017 Cost Reduction Actions
During the second quarter of 2017, the Company took actions to avoid future capital outlays and reduce costs in its Composites segment, mainly through decisions to close certain sub-scale manufacturing facilities in Asia Pacific (including Doudian, Peoples Republic of China and Thimmapur, India) and North America (Mexico City, Mexico and Brunswick, Maine) and to reposition assets in its Chambery, France operation. During the first six months of 2018, the Company recorded $11 million of charges, comprised of $2 million of severance, $7 million of accelerated depreciation and $2 million from exit activities associated with these actions. The Company expects to recognize approximately $10 million of incremental costs in 2018.

(a) The Company determined that the book value of the above noted long-term debt instruments approximates fair value.

The fair values of the Company's outstanding long-term debt instruments were estimated using market observable inputs, including quoted prices in active markets, market indices and interest rate measurements. Within the hierarchy of fair value measurements, these are Level 2 fair values.
Senior Notes
The Company issued $400 million of 2048 senior notes on January 25, 2018. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on January 30 and July 30 each year, beginning on July 30, 2018. The proceeds from these notes were used, along with borrowings on a $600 million term loan commitment and borrowings on the Receivables Securitization Facility (as defined below), to fund the purchase of Paroc in the first quarter of 2018.
The Company issued $600 million of 2047 senior notes on June 26, 2017. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 each year, beginning on January 15, 2018. A portion of the proceeds from these notes was used to fund the purchase of Pittsburgh Corning in 2017 and for general corporate purposes. The remaining proceeds were used to repay $144 million of our 2019 senior notes and $140 million of our 2036 senior notes.
The Company issued $400 million of 2026 senior notes on August 8, 2016. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 each year, beginning on February 15, 2017. A portion of the proceeds from these notes was used to redeem $158 million of our 2016 senior notes. The remaining proceeds were used to pay down portions of our Receivables Securitization Facility and for general corporate purposes.
The Company issued $400 million of 2024 senior notes on November 12, 2014. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 each year, beginning on June 1, 2015. A portion of the proceeds from these notes was used to repay $242 million of our 2016 senior notes and $105 million of our 2019 senior notes. The remaining proceeds were used to pay down our Senior Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), finance general working capital needs, and for general corporate purposes.

DEBT (continued)

The Company issued $600 million of 2022 senior notes on October 17, 2012. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 each year, beginning on June 15, 2013. The proceeds of these notes were used to refinance $250 million of our 2016 senior notes and $100 million of our 2019 senior notes and pay down our Senior Revolving Credit Facility.
On October 31, 2006, the Company issued $540 million of 2036 senior notes. The proceeds of these notes were used to pay certain unsecured and administrative claims, finance general working capital needs and for general corporate purposes.
Collectively, the senior notes above are referred to as the “Senior Notes.” The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company.

In May 2018, the Company entered into a new agreement covering our Senior Revolving Credit Facility. This new agreement, among other things, removed all subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors under our Senior Revolving Credit Facility, unless certain conditions precedent are met that do not exist at this time, and had the effect of removing the guarantees of such subsidiaries under our Senior Notes. In addition, we elected to amend our Registration Statement on Form S-3 to eliminate the guarantees of our Senior Notes as registered securities.
The Company has the option to redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at any time at a “make-whole” redemption price. The Company is subject to certain covenants in connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes that it believes are usual and customary. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2018.
In the first quarter of 2016, the Company terminated interest rate swaps designated to hedge a portion of the 4.20% senior notes due 2022. The residual fair value of the swaps is recognized in Long-term debt, net of current portion on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an unamortized interest rate swap basis adjustment.
Senior Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has an $800 million Senior Revolving Credit Facility with a maturity date in May 2023. In May 2018, the Company entered into a new agreement to extend its maturity to May 2023 and remove all subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility, unless certain conditions precedent are met that do not exist at this time. The Senior Revolving Credit Facility includes both borrowings and letters of credit. Borrowings under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes and working capital. The Company has the discretion to borrow under multiple options, which provide for varying terms and interest rates including the United States prime rate, federal funds rate plus a spread or LIBOR plus a spread.
The Senior Revolving Credit Facility contains various covenants, including a maximum allowed leverage ratio and a minimum required interest expense coverage ratio, that the Company believes are usual and customary for a senior unsecured credit agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2018. Please refer to the Credit Facility Utilization paragraph below for liquidity information as of June 30, 2018.
Term Loan Commitments
The Company obtained two term loan commitments on October 27, 2017 for $300 million and $600 million, respectively, (collectively, the "Term Loan Commitments"). The Company entered into the Term Loan Commitments, in part, to pay a portion of the purchase price of the Paroc acquisition. In the first quarter of 2018, the Company borrowed on the $600 million term loan commitment, along with borrowings on the Receivables Securitization Facility and the proceeds of the 2048 senior notes, to fund the purchase of Paroc. The $600 million term loan borrowing (the "Term Loan Borrowing") requires partial quarterly principal repayments and full repayment by February 2021. On February 12, 2018, the Company voluntarily reduced the entire $300 million term loan commitment, thus eliminating the availability of credit under such commitment. On May 4, 2018, the Company amended the terms of the $600 million term loan, among other things, to provide for a reduction in the applicable margin used in the calculation of interest on the outstanding indebtedness and mirror the terms of the new Senior Revolving Credit Facility.

Receivables Securitization Facility
Included in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are borrowings outstanding under a Receivables Purchase Agreement (RPA) that are accounted for as secured borrowings in accordance with ASC 860, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing." Owens Corning Sales, LLC and Owens Corning Receivables LLC, each a subsidiary of the Company, have a $280 million RPA with certain financial institutions. The securitization facility (the "Receivables Securitization Facility") has been amended from time to time, with a maturity date of May 2020. The facility was most recently amended in April 2018 to increase the borrowing limit from $250 million to $280 million. No other significant terms impacting liquidity were amended. The Company has the ability to borrow at the lenders' cost of funds, which approximates A-1/P-1 commercial paper rates vs. LIBOR, plus a fixed spread.
The Receivables Securitization Facility contains various covenants, including a maximum allowed leverage ratio and a minimum required interest expense coverage ratio that the Company believes are usual and customary for a securitization facility. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2018. Please refer to the Credit Facility Utilization section below for liquidity information as of June 30, 2018.
Owens Corning Receivables LLC’s sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of trade receivables and related rights from Owens Corning Sales, LLC and the subsequent retransfer of or granting of a security interest in such trade receivables and related rights to certain purchasers who are party to the RPA. Owens Corning Receivables LLC is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of Owens Corning Receivables LLC’s assets prior to any assets or value in Owens Corning Receivables LLC becoming available to Owens Corning Receivables LLC’s equity holders. The assets of Owens Corning Receivables LLC are not available to pay creditors of the Company or any other affiliates of the Company or Owens Corning Sales, LLC.

PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

ASU 2017-07 Adoption
On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-07, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)." This standard requires that the other components of net benefit cost be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. These other components of net benefit cost are now presented in Non-operating (income) expense on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. In accordance with the standard's retrospective adoption requirement, we used an allowable practical expedient that permits the use of amounts disclosed in previous pension and other postretirement benefit plan disclosures as the estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirement. Please refer to the Accounting Pronouncements section of Note 1 for more details on the impact of this adoption.
The following table shows the location and impact of the adoption on certain periods of the Consolidated Statements of Earnings:

Pension Plans
The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans. Under the plans, pension benefits are based on an employee’s years of service and, for certain categories of employees, qualifying compensation. Company contributions to these pension plans are determined by an independent actuary to meet or exceed minimum funding requirements. In our non-U.S. plans, the unrecognized cost of any retroactive amendments and actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average future service period of plan participants expected to receive benefits. In our U.S. plans, the unrecognized cost of any retroactive amendments and actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants as substantially all of the plan participants are inactive.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS

The Company may be involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings relating to employment, antitrust, tax, product liability, environmental and other matters (collectively, “Proceedings”). The Company regularly reviews the status of such Proceedings along with legal counsel. Liabilities for such Proceedings are recorded when it is probable that the liability has been incurred and when the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities are adjusted when additional information becomes available. Management believes that the amount of any reasonably possible losses in excess of any amounts accrued, if any, with respect to such Proceedings or any other known claim, including the matters described below under the caption Environmental Matters (the “Environmental Matters”), are not material to the Company’s financial statements. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of the Proceedings and the Environmental Matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. While the likelihood is remote, the disposition of the Proceedings and Environmental Matters could have a material impact on the results of operations, cash flows or liquidity in any given reporting period.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS (continued)

Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings

The Company is involved in litigation and regulatory proceedings from time to time in the regular course of its business. The Company believes that adequate provisions for resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending matters have been made for probable losses that are reasonably estimable.

Environmental Matters

The Company has established policies and procedures designed to ensure that its operations are conducted in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations and that enable the Company to meet its high standards for corporate sustainability and environmental stewardship. Our manufacturing facilities are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the presence of hazardous materials, pollution and protection of the environment, including emissions to air, discharges to water, management of hazardous materials, handling and disposal of solid wastes, and remediation of contaminated sites. All Company manufacturing facilities operate using an ISO 14001 or equivalent environmental management system. The Company’s 2020 Sustainability Goals include significant global reductions in energy use, water consumption, waste to landfill, and emissions of greenhouse gases, fine particulate matter and toxic air emissions.

Owens Corning is involved in remedial response activities and is responsible for environmental remediation at a number of sites, including certain of its currently owned or formerly owned plants. These responsibilities arise under a number of laws, including, but not limited to, the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and similar state or local laws pertaining to the management and remediation of hazardous materials and petroleum. The Company has also been named a potentially responsible party under the U.S. Federal Superfund law, or state equivalents, at a number of disposal sites. The Company became involved in these sites as a result of government action or in connection with business acquisitions. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was involved with a total of 23 sites worldwide, including 8 Superfund and state equivalent sites and 15 owned or formerly owned sites. None of the liabilities for these sites are individually significant to the Company.

Remediation activities generally involve a potential range of activities and costs related to soil and groundwater contamination. This can include pre-cleanup activities such as fact-finding and investigation, risk assessment, feasibility studies, remedial action design and implementation (where actions may range from monitoring to removal of contaminants, to installation of longer-term remediation systems). A number of factors affect the cost of environmental remediation, including the number of parties involved in a particular site, the determination of the extent of contamination, the length of time the remediation may require, the complexity of environmental regulations, variability in clean-up standards, the need for legal action, and changes in remediation technology. Taking these factors into account, Owens Corning has predicted the costs of remediation reasonably estimated to be paid over a period of years. The Company accrues an amount on an undiscounted basis, consistent with the reasonable estimates of these costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred. Actual cost may differ from these estimates for the reasons mentioned above. At June 30, 2018, the Company had an accrual totaling $17 million for these costs, of which the current portion is $8 million. Changes in required remediation procedures or timing of those procedures, or discovery of contamination at additional sites, could result in material increases to the Company’s environmental obligations.

STOCK COMPENSATION

Stock Plans

2016 Stock Plan

On April 21, 2016, the Company’s stockholders approved the Owens Corning 2016 Stock Plan (the “2016 Stock Plan”) which authorizes grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, bonus stock awards and performance stock awards. At June 30, 2018, the number of shares remaining available under the 2016 Stock Plan for all stock awards was 2.5 million.

STOCK COMPENSATION (continued)


Stock Options
The Company did not grant any stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company calculates a weighted-average grant-date fair value using a Black-Scholes valuation model for options granted. Compensation expense for options is measured based on the fair market value of the option on the date of grant, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over a four-year vesting period. In general, the exercise price of each option awarded was equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and an option’s maximum term is 10 years.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized expense of less than $1 million related to the Company's stock options. The Company did not recognize any stock option expense during the three months ended June 30, 2018. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized expense of less than $1 million and $1 million, respectively, related to the Company's stock options. As of June 30, 2018, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. The total aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of June 30, 2018 was $13 million.

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units
The Company has granted restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (collectively referred to as “restricted stock”) as a part of its long-term incentive plan. Compensation expense for restricted stock is measured based on the market price of the stock at date of grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is typically three or four years. The Stock Plan allows alternate vesting schedules for death, disability, and retirement.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized expense of $5 million and $11 million, respectively, related to the Company's restricted stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized expense of $5 million and $10 million, respectively, related to the Company's restricted stock. As of June 30, 2018, there was $43 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.77 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $22 million and $18 million, respectively.

Performance Stock Awards and Performance Stock Units
The Company has granted performance stock awards and performance stock units (collectively referred to as “PSUs”) as a part of its long-term incentive plan. All outstanding performance grants will fully settle in stock. The amount of stock ultimately distributed from all performance shares is contingent on meeting internal company-based metrics or an external-based stock performance metric.
In the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company granted both internal company-based and external-based metric PSUs.
Internal based metrics
The internal company-based metrics are based on various Company metrics and typically vest over a three-year period. The amount of stock distributed will vary from 0% to 300% of PSUs awarded depending on each award's design and performance versus the internal Company-based metrics.
The initial fair value for all internal Company-based metric PSUs assumes that the performance goals will be achieved and is based on the grant date stock price. This assumption is monitored quarterly and if it becomes probable that such goals will not be achieved or will be exceeded, compensation expense recognized will be adjusted and previous surplus compensation expense recognized will be reversed or additional expense will be recognized. The expected term represents the period from the grant date to the end of the vesting period. Pro-rata vesting may be utilized in the case of death, disability or approved retirement and awards if earned will be paid at the end of the vesting period.
External-based metrics
The external-based metrics vest after a three-year period. Outstanding grants are based on the Company's total stockholder return relative to the performance of the companies constituting the former S&P Building & Construction Industry Index or Dow Jones Construction and Materials Index. The amount of stock distributed will vary from 0% to 200% of PSUs awarded depending on the relative stockholder return performance.
The Company estimated the fair value of the external-based metric performance stock grants using a Monte Carlo simulation. The external-based metric performance stock granted in 2018 uses various assumptions that include expected volatility of 24.6%, and a risk free interest rate of 2.2%, both of which were based on an expected term of 2.92 years. Expected volatility was based on a benchmark study of our peers. The risk-free interest rate was based on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bills at the time of grant. The expected term represents the period from the grant date to the end of the three-year performance period. Compensation expense for external-based metric PSUs is measured based on the grant date fair value and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Pro-rata vesting may be utilized in the case of death, disability or approved retirement, and awards if earned will be paid at the end of the three-year period.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized expense of $6 million and $9 million, respectively, related to the Company's PSUs. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized expense of $3 million and $8 million, respectively, related to the Company's PSUs. As of June 30, 2018, there was $23 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.79 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On April 18, 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved the Owens Corning Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The ESPP is a tax-qualified plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purchase price of shares purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of shares of Owens Corning common stock at the beginning or ending of the offering period, which is a six-month period ending on May 31 and November 30 of each year. At the approval date, 2.0 million shares were available for purchase under the ESPP. As of June 30, 2018, 0.8 million shares remain available for purchase.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized expense of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, related to the Company's ESPP. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized expense of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, related to the Company's ESPP. As of June 30, 2018, there was $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP.

On October 24, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a share buy-back program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 10 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Repurchase Authorization”). The Repurchase Authorization enables the Company to repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated, or other transactions. The actual number of shares repurchased will depend on timing, market conditions and other factors and is at the Company’s discretion. The Company repurchased 1.3 million shares of its common stock for $103 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, under the Repurchase Authorization. As of June 30, 2018, 6.2 million shares remain available for repurchase under the Repurchase Authorization.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share did not include 0.3 million non-vested restricted shares and 0.2 million non-vested performance shares, due to their anti-dilutive effect. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we did not have any non-vested performance shares that had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of higher foreign tax rates and an increase in U.S. federal tax expense on foreign earnings. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of higher foreign tax rates, an increase in U.S. federal tax expense on foreign earnings, offset by excess tax benefits related to stock compensation and other discrete adjustments.

16.    INCOME TAXES (continued)


The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the benefit of lower foreign tax rates and other discrete adjustments.
During the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-16, “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (Topic 740).” Under this standard, the tax effects of intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory will be recognized immediately in the seller's tax jurisdiction when the transfer occurs, even though the pre-tax effects of that transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Any deferred tax asset that arises in the buyer’s jurisdiction would also be recognized at the time of the transfer. The standard is applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the year of adoption. As of January 1, 2018, we recorded a $17 million decrease in Other non-current assets, a $7 million increase in Deferred income tax assets and a $10 million decrease to Accumulated earnings.
The U.S. government enacted tax legislation commonly known as the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on December 22, 2017 (the "Tax Act"). The Tax Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including but not limited to, a reduction to the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%; a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries (the "Transition Tax”); eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) and changing realization of AMT credits; changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards created in tax years after December 31, 2017; changes to the limitations on available interest expense deductions; and changes to other existing deductions and business-related exclusions.
The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, "Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" ("SAB 118"), which provides guidance on the accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date to complete the accounting under ASC 740, "Income Taxes." The Company's accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete. In accordance with SAB 118, we were able to make reasonable estimates on certain effects of the Tax Act resulting in a total provisional charge to the financial statements as of December 31, 2017. There have been no material changes to the provisional charges as disclosed in our 2017 Form 10-K. The Company was not yet able to make a reasonable estimate of the U.S. state tax effects of the Tax Act. Therefore, no provisional adjustment was recorded with respect to this item. We are continuing to evaluate the estimates used to record and disclose the effects of the Tax Act.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Tax Act creates a new requirement to include in U.S. income global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) earned by controlled foreign corporations (CFCs). The GILTI must be included currently in the gross income of the CFCs’ U.S. shareholder. Under U.S. GAAP, we are allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either (1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factoring such amounts into a company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). During the first quarter of 2018, we selected the period cost method in recording the tax effects of GILTI in our financial statements.
The Company's analysis of whether to change its indefinite reinvestment assertion on account of the Tax Act is incomplete. Therefore, we continue to assert indefinite reinvestment in accordance with ASC 740 based on the laws before enactment of the Tax Act.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is intended to help investors understand Owens Corning, our operations and our present business environment. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes thereto contained in this report. Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Owens Corning,” “Company,” “we” and “our” in this report refer to Owens Corning and its subsidiaries.
GENERAL
Owens Corning is a leading global producer of glass fiber reinforcements and other materials for composites and of residential and commercial building materials. The Company has three reportable segments: Composites, Insulation and Roofing. Through these lines of business, we manufacture and sell products worldwide. We maintain leading market positions in many of our major product categories.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Net earnings attributable to Owens Corning were $121 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $96 million in the same period of 2017. The Company reported $206 million in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $190 million in the same period of 2017. The Company generated $214 million in adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”) for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $230 million in the same period of 2017. See the Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes paragraph of the MD&A for further information regarding EBIT and Adjusted EBIT, including the reconciliation to net earnings attributable to Owens Corning. Second quarter 2018 EBIT performance compared to the same period of 2017 increased $20 million in our Insulation segment and decreased $28 million and $13 million in our Roofing and Composites segments, respectively. Within our Corporate, Other and Eliminations category, General corporate expense and other decreased by $5 million.
In our Insulation segment, EBIT in the second quarter of 2018 was $49 million compared to $29 million in the same period of 2017, primarily due to the impact of our acquisitions. In our Roofing segment, EBIT in the second quarter of 2018 was $127 million compared to $155 million in the same period in 2017, on lower sales volumes and higher transportation costs. In our Composites segment, EBIT was $71 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to $84 million in the same period of 2017, primarily due to inflation and higher rebuild and start-up costs.
In the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company's operating activities provided $306 million of cash flow, compared to $392 million in the same period in 2017. The change was primarily driven by higher year-over-year growth of inventories in 2018.
On February 5, 2018, the Company acquired all outstanding equity of Paroc Group Oy ("Paroc"), a leading producer of mineral wool insulation for building and technical applications in Europe, for an enterprise value of approximately $1.1 billion (900 million Euro). The acquisition of Paroc expands the Company's mineral wool technology, grows its presence in the European insulation market, provides access to a variety of new end-use markets and increases the Insulation segment's geographic sales mix outside of the U.S. and Canada. Operating results of the acquisition and a preliminary purchase price allocation have been included in the Company’s Insulation segment in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2018, the Company entered into a new credit agreement covering our Senior Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) with a maturity in 2023. This new agreement, among other things, removed all subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors under our Senior Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), unless certain conditions precedent are met that do not exist at this time.

In January 2018, the Company issued $400 million of 2048 senior notes with an annual interest rate of 4.40%. The proceeds from the senior notes, along with borrowings on a $600 million term loan commitment and the Receivables Securitization Facility, were used to fund the purchase of Paroc in February 2018.

The Company repurchased 0.3 million shares of its common stock for $20 million in the second quarter of 2018 under a previously announced repurchase authorization (the "Share Repurchase Authorization"). As of June 30, 2018, 6.2 million shares remained available for repurchase under the Share Repurchase Authorization.

The Consolidated Results discussion below provides a summary of our results and the trends affecting our business, and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed Segment Results discussion that follows.
NET SALES
In the second quarter and year-to-date 2018, net sales increased $227 million and $440 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. For the second quarter and year-to-date comparison, the increase in net sales was driven by the acquisitions of Paroc in February 2018 and Pittsburgh Corning Corporation and Pittsburgh Corning Europe NV (collectively, "Pittsburgh Corning") in June 2017 and higher selling prices, partially offset by the impact of lower sales volumes in our Roofing segment.
GROSS MARGIN
In the second quarter and year-to-date of 2018, gross margin increased $10 million and $23 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. For the second quarter and year-to-date comparison, the increase was driven by the contribution of our acquisitions and higher selling prices in our Insulation and Roofing segments, partially offset by input cost inflation and higher transportation costs in all three segments.
MARKETING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Marketing and administrative expenses for the second quarter and year-to-date 2018 increased $32 million and $75 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. For the second quarter and year-to-date comparison, the increase was primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses in our Insulation segment, primarily due to our acquisitions.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET
Second quarter and year-to-date 2018 interest expense, net increased $6 million and $8 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017, primarily due to higher long-term debt balances in connection with our acquisitions.
NON-OPERATING (INCOME) EXPENSE

Second quarter and year-to-date 2018 non-operating (income) expense increased $32 million and $34 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017, primarily due to pension settlement losses recognized in the prior year.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $49 million and $60 million, respectively. For the second quarter 2018, the Company's effective tax rate was 28% and for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company's effective tax rate was 22%.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of higher foreign tax rates and an increase in U.S. federal tax expense on foreign earnings. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of higher foreign tax rates, an increase in U.S. federal tax expense on foreign earnings, offset by excess tax benefits related to stock compensation and other discrete adjustments.
In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted tax legislation commonly known as the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act"). The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, "Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("SAB 118"), providing guidance on accounting for the Tax Act. The Company has not completed the accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act. However, we were able to make reasonable estimates to record a provisional adjustment in the fourth quarter of 2017, which is substantially unchanged at this time. Additionally, the Company has not yet been able to make a reasonable estimate of the U.S. state tax effects of the Tax Act. Therefore, no provisional adjustment has been recorded with respect to this item.
The realization of deferred tax assets depends on achieving a certain minimum level of future taxable income. Management currently believes that it is at least reasonably possible that the minimum level of taxable income will be met within the next 12 months to reduce the valuation allowances of certain foreign jurisdictions by a range of $0 million to $6 million.
Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $67 million and $110 million, respectively. For the second quarter 2017, the Company's effective tax rate was 41% and for the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company's effective tax rate was 36%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, was primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the benefit of lower foreign tax rates and other discrete adjustments.
Restructuring and Acquisition-Related Costs
The Company has incurred restructuring, transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, along with restructuring costs in connection with its global cost reduction and productivity initiatives. These costs are recorded within Corporate, Other and Eliminations. Please refer to Notes 8 and 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the nature of these costs.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes
Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain items that management does not allocate to our segment results because it believes they are not representative of the Company's ongoing operations. Adjusted EBIT is used internally by the Company for various purposes, including reporting results of operations to the Board of Directors of the Company, analysis of performance and related employee compensation measures. Although management believes that these adjustments result in a measure that provides a useful representation of our operational performance, the adjusted measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Net earnings attributable to Owens Corning as prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Segment Results
EBIT by segment consists of net sales less related costs and expenses and is presented on a basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance. Certain items, such as general corporate expenses or income and certain other expense or income items, are excluded from the internal evaluation of segment performance. Accordingly, these items are not reflected in EBIT for our reportable segments and are included in the Corporate, Other and Eliminations category, which is presented following the discussion of our reportable segments.

NET SALES

In our Composites segment, net sales in the second quarter 2018 increased $4 million compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was driven by the positive impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars.

For the year-to-date 2018, net sales in our Composites segment increased $4 million compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was driven by the $35 million positive impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars, largely offset by lower sales volumes. The lower sales volumes were driven, in part, by the difficult comparison against growth in the first quarter of 2017 and lower demand in certain markets.

EBIT

In our Composites segment, EBIT in the second quarter of 2018 decreased $13 million compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease in EBIT was driven about equally by $5 million of input cost inflation and $5 million of higher rebuild and start-up expenses, with the remainder being driven by higher transportation costs.

For the year-to-date 2018, EBIT decreased $24 million compared to the same period in 2017. Input and transportation cost inflation drove $15 million of the year-over-year decline. The remainder of the decrease resulted from higher rebuild and start-up costs and lower sales volumes.

OUTLOOK

Global glass reinforcements market demand has historically grown on average with global industrial production and we believe this relationship will continue. In 2018, we expect continued global industrial production growth as well as elevated levels of input cost and transportation inflation.

NET SALES
In our Insulation segment, net sales in the second quarter of 2018 increased $243 million compared to the same period in 2017, primarily driven by the $197 million impact of our acquisitions of Paroc and Pittsburgh Corning, higher selling prices of $25 million and higher sales volumes of about 2%. The remaining change was driven about equally by favorable customer mix and the favorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars.
For the year-to-date 2018, net sales in our Insulation segment increased $440 million compared to the same period in 2017, primarily driven by the $342 million impact of our acquisitions of Paroc and Pittsburgh Corning, higher selling prices of $47 million and higher sales volumes of about 3%. The remaining change was driven about equally by favorable customer mix and the favorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars.
EBIT
In our Insulation segment, EBIT in the second quarter of 2018 increased by $20 million compared to the same period in 2017. The EBIT improvement was primarily driven by the $21 million impact of our acquisitions of Paroc and Pittsburgh Corning. The favorable impact of higher selling prices offset $11 million of combined input cost inflation and higher transportation costs, $9 million of higher rebuild and start-up costs in our North American glass and mineral wool facilities, $7 million in unfavorable manufacturing performance and slightly higher selling, general and administrative costs.
For the year-to-date 2018, EBIT in our Insulation segment increased by $47 million compared to the same period in 2017, primarily driven by higher selling prices of $47 million. The $31 million favorable impact from of our acquisitions of Paroc and Pittsburgh Corning offset $23 million of combined input cost inflation and higher transportation costs, $18 million of higher rebuild and start-up costs in our North American glass and mineral wool facilities and slightly higher selling, general and administrative costs.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
In our Insulation segment, depreciation and amortization expense in the second quarter and year-to-date 2018 increased by $19 million and $38 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. The second quarter change was primarily due to depreciation and amortization related to our Paroc and Pittsburgh Corning acquisitions, including $11 million of depreciation related to property, plant and equipment and $6 million related to amortization of intangible assets. For the year-to-date 2018 comparison, depreciation related to property, plant and equipment was $23 million and amortization was $11 million related to our Paroc and Pittsburgh Corning acquisitions.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)


OUTLOOK
The outlook for Insulation demand is driven by new residential construction, remodeling and repair activity, commercial and industrial construction activity. Demand for commercial insulation is most closely correlated to industrial production. Demand for residential insulation is most closely correlated to U.S. housing starts. During the second quarter of 2018, the average Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) of U.S. housing starts was approximately 1.262 million, up from an annual average of approximately 1.171 million starts in the second quarter of 2017. The Company expects its Insulation segment to benefit from continued global industrial production growth and an overall strengthening of the U.S. housing market (including higher capacity utilization and improved pricing).

NET SALES
In our Roofing segment, net sales in the second quarter of 2018 decreased by $25 million compared to the same period in 2017. For the second quarter, the decrease was primarily driven by lower sales volumes of about 8% on lower shingle volumes, partially offset by $23 million of higher selling prices and higher third-party asphalt sales.
For the year-to-date 2018, net sales in our Roofing segment decreased by $10 million compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease was driven by lower sales volumes of 5% on lower shingle volumes, partially offset by $36 million of higher selling prices, favorable product mix, continued growth in roofing components and higher third-party asphalt sales.
EBIT
In our Roofing segment, EBIT in the second quarter of 2018 decreased by $28 million compared to the same period in 2017. Higher selling prices offset $13 million of asphalt cost inflation and $10 million of higher transportation costs. The impact of lower sales volumes and $10 million of other material input cost inflation drove the quarter-over-quarter decrease in EBIT.
For the year-to-date 2018, EBIT in our Roofing segment decreased by $56 million compared to the same period in 2017. Higher selling prices of $36 million were more than offset by $45 million of input cost inflation ($26 million of which was related to asphalt costs). The impact of lower sales volumes and higher transportation costs contributed about equally to the remainder of the year-over-year decrease.
OUTLOOK
In our Roofing segment, we expect the factors that have driven strong margins in recent years, such as growth from new construction and remodeling demand, along with higher sales of roofing components, to continue to deliver profitability. Uncertainties that may impact our Roofing margins include demand from storm and other weather events, competitive pricing pressure and the cost and availability of raw materials, particularly asphalt.

EBIT
In Corporate, Other and Eliminations, EBIT losses for the second quarter 2018 were lower by $37 million compared to the same period in 2017. EBIT improvement in the second quarter of 2018 was primarily driven by lower restructuring and acquisition-related costs. See details of these costs in the table above and further explained in both the Restructuring and Acquisition-Related Costs paragraph of MD&A and Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
For the year-to-date 2018, Corporate, Other and Eliminations EBIT losses were lower by $10 million due to the impact of lower restructuring costs partially offset by higher acquisition-related costs. See details of these costs in the table above and further explained in both the Restructuring and Acquisition-Related Costs paragraph of MD&A and Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
General corporate expense and other for the second quarter 2018 was lower by $5 million compared to the same period in 2017, primarily driven by lower performance-based compensation. General corporate expense and other for the year-to-date 2018 was higher by $2 million compared to the same period in 2017, primarily driven by higher general corporate expenses, partially offset by lower performance-based compensation.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization in the second quarter and year-to-date of 2018 was higher by $2 million and $7 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017, primarily due to accelerated depreciation recorded in 2018 related to our restructuring actions.
OUTLOOK
In 2018, we expect general corporate expenses to range between $135 million and $140 million.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS
Liquidity
The Company's primary external sources of liquidity are its Senior Revolving Credit Facility, its Receivables Securitization Facility and its term loan borrowing.

The Company has an $800 million senior revolving credit facility (the "Senior Revolving Credit Facility") with a maturity date in May 2023. In May 2018, the Company entered into a new credit agreement to extend its maturity to May 2023 and remove the $600 million of uncommitted incremental loans permitted under the facility. The new agreement also removed all subsidiaries of

the Company as guarantors under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility, unless certain conditions precedent are met that do not exist at this time.
The Company has a $280 million securitization facility (the "Receivables Securitization Facility") that has been amended from time to time, which matures in May 2020. The facility was most recently amended in April 2018 to increase the borrowing limit from $250 million to $280 million. No other significant terms impacting liquidity were amended.
The Company obtained two term loan commitments on October 27, 2017 for $300 million and $600 million, respectively, (collectively, the "Term Loan Commitments"). The Company entered into the Term Loan Commitments, in part, to pay a portion of the purchase price of the Paroc acquisition. The $600 million term loan borrowing (the "Term Loan Borrowing") requires full repayment of borrowings in February 2021. On February 12, 2018, the Company voluntarily reduced the entire $300 million term loan commitment, thus eliminating the availability of credit under the facility.
The following table shows how the Company utilized its primary sources of liquidity (in millions):

The Company issued $400 million of 2048 senior notes on January 25, 2018. Interest on these notes is payable semiannually in arrears on January 30 and July 30 each year, beginning on July 30, 2018. The proceeds from the 2048 senior notes, along with borrowings on a $600 million term loan commitment and the Receivables Securitization Facility, were used to fund the purchase of Paroc in the first quarter of 2018.
The Company has no significant debt maturities of senior notes before 2022, with our Senior Revolving Credit Facility and Receivables Securitization Facility maturing in 2023 and 2020, respectively. The Company also has a $600 million term loan borrowing that must be repaid by 2021. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $3.6 billion of total debt and cash and cash equivalents of $149 million.
Cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries may be subject to foreign withholding taxes upon repatriation to the U.S. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company had $132 million and $101 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. The Company's analysis whether to change its indefinite reinvestment assertion on account of the Tax Act is incomplete. Therefore, we continue to assert indefinite reinvestment in accordance with ASC 740 based on the laws prior to enactment of the Tax Act and do not provide for foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.
As a holding company, we have no operations of our own and most of our assets are held by our direct and indirect subsidiaries. Dividends and other payments or distributions from our subsidiaries will be used to meet our debt service and other obligations and to enable us to pay dividends to our stockholders. Please refer to page 13 of the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the "2017 Form 10-K") for details on the factors that could inhibit our subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to the parent company.
We expect that our cash on hand, coupled with future cash flows from operations and other available sources of liquidity, including our Senior Revolving Credit Facility and Receivables Securitization Facility, will provide ample liquidity to enable us to meet our cash requirements. Our anticipated uses of cash include capital expenditures, working capital needs, pension contributions, meeting financial obligations, payments of quarterly dividends as authorized by our Board of Directors, acquisitions and reducing outstanding amounts under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility, Receivables Securitization Facility and term loan borrowing.

We have outstanding share repurchase authorizations and will evaluate and consider repurchasing shares of our common stock, as well as strategic acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and other transactions to create stockholder value and enhance financial performance. Such transactions may require cash expenditures beyond current sources of liquidity or generate proceeds.
The agreements governing to our Senior Revolving Credit Facility and the Receivables Securitization Facility contain various covenants that we believe are usual and customary. The Senior Revolving Credit Facility and the Receivables Securitization Facility each include a maximum allowed leverage ratio and a minimum required interest expense coverage ratio. We were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2018.

Operating activities: For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company's operating activities provided $306 million of cash compared to $392 million provided in the same period in 2017. The change in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a larger increase in operating assets and liabilities (mainly inventories) in 2018 compared to the same period of 2017.
Investing activities: Net cash flow used for investing activities increased $705 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period of 2017, primarily driven by higher spending on acquisitions year-over-year and higher cash paid for property, plant and equipment.
Financing activities: Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,051 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $412 million in the same period in 2017. The change of $639 million was primarily due to higher long-term debt inflows to fund the purchase of Paroc in the first quarter of 2018 (see Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Liquidity section above for further discussion of activities related to debt).
2018 Investments
Capital Expenditures: The Company will continue a balanced approach to the use of its cash flow. Operational cash flow will be used to fund the Company’s growth and innovation. Capital expenditures in 2018 are expected to be approximately $500 million, which is roughly $50 million greater than expected depreciation and amortization. Capital spending in excess of depreciation and amortization is primarily due to the remaining spending for our Composites expansion in India and growth projects in our Roofing and Insulation segments, including the construction of a Paroc mineral wool insulation manufacturing line in Poland that was in progress at the date of the acquisition. The Company will also continue to evaluate projects and acquisitions that provide opportunities for growth in our businesses, and invest in them when they meet our strategic and financial criteria.
Tax Net Operating Losses and U.S Foreign Tax Credits
There have been no material changes to the disclosure in our 2017 Form 10-K. We are continuing to evaluate the estimates used to record and disclose the effects of the Tax Act.

Pension Contributions
Please refer to Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects to contribute $63 million in cash to its global pension plans during 2018. Actual contributions to the plans may change as a result of several factors, including changes in laws that impact funding requirements. The ultimate cash flow impact to the Company, if any, of the pension plan liability and the timing of any such impact will depend on numerous variables, including future changes in actuarial assumptions, legislative changes to pension funding laws, and market conditions.
Derivatives
Please refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Fair Value Measurement

Please refer to Notes 5 and 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of business, we enter into contractual obligations to make payments to third parties. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were no material changes to such contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of our business.
SAFETY
Working safely is a condition of employment at Owens Corning. We believe this organization-wide expectation provides for a safer work environment for employees, improves our manufacturing processes, reduces our costs and enhances our reputation. Furthermore, striving to be a world-class leader in safety provides a platform for all employees to understand and apply the resolve necessary to be a high-performing global organization. We measure our progress on safety based on Recordable Incidence Rate (“RIR”) as defined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, our RIR was 0.56 as compared to 0.48 in the same period a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our RIR was 0.51 as compared to 0.49 in the same period a year ago.

The Repurchase Authorization enables the Company to repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated transactions, or other transactions. The actual number of shares repurchased will depend on timing, market conditions and other factors and is at the Company’s discretion. The Company repurchased 0.3 million shares of its common stock for $20 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018 under the Repurchase Authorization. As of June 30, 2018, 6.2 million shares remain available for repurchase under the Repurchase Authorization.
