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, 2018 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, 2018 (the "2018 Form 10-K"). Certain reclassifications have been made to the periods presented for 2018 to conform to the classifications used in the periods presented for 2019.

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, $8 million and $7 million as of September 30, 2019, December 31, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Restricted cash primarily represents amounts received from a counterparty related to its performance assurance on an executory contract, which 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 ASU's 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 standard:
ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," as amended by ASU 2017-13, 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11, and 2019-01	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 may elect to apply the provisions of the new leasing standard on January 1, 2019, without adjusting the comparative periods presented by recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.	January 1, 2019	We adopted this standard using the optional transition method in the first quarter of 2019. Please refer to Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for transition disclosures as well as other ongoing disclosure requirements.



Recently issued standard:

ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)," as amended by ASU 2018-19, 2019-04, and 2019-05	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 do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Our current accounts receivable policy (as described in Note 1 of our 2018 Form 10-K) uses historical and forward-looking information to estimate the amount of expected credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We have determined that our current systems, policies and procedures comply with the requirements of this standard.

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION (continued)

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.

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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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.

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.

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. As of September 30, 2019, the notional amounts of these natural gas forward swaps was 2 MMBtu (or MMBtu equivalent) based on U.S. and European indices.

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 September 30, 2019, the notional amount of these derivative financial instruments was $516 million related to the U.S. Dollar and European Euro.

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 September 30, 2019, the Company had notional amounts of $688 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, and South Korean Won. In addition, the Company had notional amounts of $146 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.

8. ACQUISITIONS

Paroc Acquisition

On February 5, 2018, the Company acquired all the outstanding equity of Paroc Group Oy ("Paroc"), a leading producer of mineral wool insulation for building and technical applications in Europe, for $1,121 million, 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 have been included in the Company’s Insulation segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the acquisition. During the first nine months of 2019, the Consolidated Statements of Earnings included $38 million in Net Sales attributable to the acquisition (net sales from January 1, 2019 through February 4, 2019 that were related to the one-year post-acquisition period). The pro forma effect of this acquisition on Net sales and Net earnings attributable to Owens Corning was immaterial.

9. LEASES

ASU 2016-02 Adoption

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," and the related amendments (collectively "ASC 842"). We used the optional transition method of adoption, in which the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard to existing leases was $237 million to record the operating lease right-of-use assets and the related liabilities as of January 1, 2019. Under this method of adoption, the comparative information in the Consolidated Financial Statements has not been revised and continues to be reported under the previously applicable lease accounting guidance (ASC 840). We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which included the carry-forward of historical lease classifications.

As of December 31, 2018, leases classified as capital leases under Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 840 of $16 million were included in Property, plant and equipment, net. Finance lease right-of-use assets, which were previously classified as capital leases under ASC 840, are now included in Other non-current assets. As of both December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, liabilities associated with capital leases and finance leases are included in Long-term debt, as they represent indebtedness for bank covenant purposes.

Leases

The Company leases certain equipment and facilities under both operating and finance leases expiring on various dates through 2032. The nature of these leases generally fall into the following five categories: real estate, material handling, fleet vehicles, office equipment and energy equipment.

For leases with initial terms greater than 12 months, we consider these our right-of-use assets and record the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. For leases with initial terms equal to or less than 12 months, we do not consider them as right-of-use assets and instead consider them short-term lease costs that are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Many of our leases include escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease payments when reasonably certain. These options to extend or terminate a lease are at our discretion. We have elected to take the practical expedient and not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts. We estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees.

11. RESTRUCTURING AND ACQUISITION-RELATED COSTS

The Company may incur restructuring, transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, and may incur restructuring costs in connection with its global cost reduction and productivity initiatives.

Restructuring Costs

Pittsburgh Corning Acquisition-Related Restructuring

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 $563 million, net of cash acquired.

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. The Company does not expect to recognize significant incremental costs throughout 2019.

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. The Company expects to recognize approximately $7 million of incremental costs throughout 2019.

Insulation Network Optimization Restructuring

In October 2019, the Company took actions to restructure certain U.S. insulation operations and to reduce the cost structure throughout the Insulation network. Investments in productivity and process technologies enable the Company to optimize its network and improve its cost position. These actions are expected to result in cumulative incremental costs of approximately $30 million in 2019 and 2020 and generate annual savings of approximately $25 million by 2021.

On October 31, 2006, the Company issued $550 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.

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 September 30, 2019.

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 was previously recognized in Long-term debt, net of current portion on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an unamortized interest rate swap basis adjustment and accounts for $5 million of the Other balance in the above table as of December 31, 2018. As a result of the repurchase of a portion of these notes in a tender offer in the third quarter of 2019, the remaining unamortized portion of the swaps was recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as a $4 million reduction to the loss on extinguishment of debt.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has an $800 million Senior Revolving Credit Facility that 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. In April 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the maturity date of the Senior Revolving Credit Facility by one year to 2024.

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 September 30, 2019. Please refer to the Credit Facility Utilization paragraph below for liquidity information as of September 30, 2019.

Term Loan Borrowing

The Company obtained a term loan borrowing on October 27, 2017 for $600 million (the "Term Loan"). The Company entered into the Term Loan, 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 Term Loan, along with borrowings on the Receivables Securitization Facility and the proceeds of the 2048 senior notes, to fund the purchase of Paroc. The Term Loan requires partial quarterly principal repayments, all of which have been paid as of September 30, 2019, and full repayment by February 2021. As of September 30, 2019, the Term Loan had $300 million outstanding. In March 2019, the Term Loan was amended to reduce the applicable interest rate on outstanding borrowings.

The Term Loan 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 term loan. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2019.

13. PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

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.

The following tables provide information regarding pension expense recognized (in millions):

The Company expects to contribute approximately $25 million in cash to the U.S. pension plans and another $14 million to non-U.S. plans during 2019. The Company made cash contributions of $34 million to the plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

On September 25, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a non-participating annuity contract from an insurance company to transfer $89 million of the Company's outstanding pension projected benefit obligations related to certain U.S. pension plans. The transaction closed on October 2, 2019 and was funded with pension plan assets of $83 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company will recognize a pre-tax settlement charge of approximately $45 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 from the accelerated recognition of a pro rata portion of plan actuarial losses. This charge will be recorded in Non-operating (income) expense on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The transaction is not expected to have a material impact on the plan's funded status.

14. 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.

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, reductions of greenhouse gases, 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 2030 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.

14. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS (continued)

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 September 30, 2019, the Company was involved with a total of 21 sites worldwide, including 7 Superfund and state equivalent sites and 14 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 September 30, 2019, the Company had an accrual totaling $8 million for these costs, of which the current portion is $4 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.

15. STOCK COMPENSATION

2019 Stock Plan

On April 18, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved the Owens Corning 2019 Stock Plan (the “2019 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 September 30, 2019, the number of shares remaining available under the 2019 Stock Plan for all stock awards was approximately 4.0 million.

Stock Options

The Company did not grant any stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. 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.

The Company did not recognize any stock option expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized expense of less than $1 million related to the Company's stock options. As of September 30, 2019, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. The total aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of September 30, 2019 was $11 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized expense of $7 million and $21 million, respectively, related to the Company's restricted stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized expense of $6 million and $17 million, respectively, related to the Company's restricted stock. As of September 30, 2019, there was $37 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.20 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $20 million and $22 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted stock activity:


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

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.

15. STOCK COMPENSATION (continued)

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 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 200% 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 2019 uses various assumptions that include expected volatility of 26.7%, and a risk free interest rate of 2.5%, both of which were based on an expected term of 2.90 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 nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized expense of $2 million and $6 million, respectively, related to the Company's PSUs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized expense of $5 million and $14 million, respectively, related to the Company's PSUs. As of September 30, 2019, there was $13 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.70 years.

The following table summarizes the Company’s PSU activity:


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
	Number of PSUs	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Beginning Balance	360,977	$	75.23
Granted	205,350	58.40

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 September 30, 2019, 0.5 million shares remain available for purchase.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recognized expense of $1 million and $4 million, respectively, related to the Company's ESPP. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized expense of $1 million and $3 million, respectively, related to the Company's ESPP. As of September 30, 2019, there was $1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP.

16. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table is a reconciliation of weighted-average shares for calculating basic and diluted earnings per-share (in millions, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Net earnings attributable to Owens Corning	$	150	$	161	$	332	$	374
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding used for basic earnings per share	109.2		110.0		109.2		110.8
Non-vested restricted and performance shares	0.6		0.7		0.6		0.7
Options to purchase common stock	0.2		0.2		0.2		0.2
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding and common equivalent shares used for diluted earnings per share	110.0		110.9		110.0		111.7
Earnings per common share attributable to Owens Corning common stockholders:
Basic	$	1.37	$	1.46	$	3.04	$	3.38
Diluted	$	1.36	$	1.45	$	3.02	$	3.35

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share did not include 0.1 million non-vested performance shares, due to their anti-dilutive effect. For the three and nine months ended September 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 0.3 million non-vested performance shares, due to their anti-dilutive effect.

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 1.0 million shares of its common stock for $48 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, under the Repurchase Authorization. As of September 30, 2019, 3.6 million shares remain available for repurchase under the Repurchase Authorization.

17. INCOME TAXES

The following table provides the Income tax expense (in millions) and effective tax rate for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended September 30,									Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Income tax expense	$	61		$	67		$	159		$	127
Effective tax rate	29		%	29		%	32		%	25		%

The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, an increase in tax valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred tax assets and other discrete adjustments. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, legislative changes, an increase in tax valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred tax assets and other discrete adjustments.

On March 6, 2019, the U.S. Treasury and the IRS proposed regulations that provide guidance on determining the amount of a domestic corporation’s deduction for the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) and foreign-derived intangible income (FDII) recently added by the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”). The proposed regulations provide special rules in determining the deduction amount which adjusted the Company’s 2018 tax estimate resulting in an increase to tax expense of $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended September 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 and other discrete adjustments offset by a reversal of a valuation allowance recorded in prior years against certain European net deferred tax assets. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the nine months ended September 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, a reversal of a valuation allowance recorded in prior years against certain European net deferred tax assets and other discrete adjustments.

The Company continues to assert indefinite reinvestment in accordance with ASC 740 based on the laws as of 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 residential and commercial building materials and of glass fiber reinforcements and other materials for composites. 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 $150 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $161 million in the same period of 2018. The Company reported $277 million in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $259 million in the same period of 2018. The Company generated $277 million in adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”) for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $267 million in the same period of 2018. 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. Third quarter of 2019 EBIT performance compared to the same period of 2018 increased $16 million and $3 million in our Roofing and Composites segments, respectively, and decreased $10 million in our Insulation segment. Within our Corporate, Other and Eliminations category, General corporate expense and other decreased by $1 million.

In our Insulation segment, EBIT in the third quarter of 2019 was $84 million compared to $94 million in the same period of 2018. The $10 million decrease was primarily due to production curtailment actions taken in our North American residential fiberglass business. In our Composites segment, EBIT was $67 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $64 million in the same period of 2018, primarily due to higher sales volumes. In our Roofing segment, EBIT in the third quarter of 2019 was $143 million compared to $127 million in the same period in 2018, primarily due to higher sales volumes.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company's operating activities provided $596 million of cash flow, compared to $506 million in the same period in 2018. The change was primarily driven by a reduction in inventories from the prior year-end.

In August 2019, the Company issued $450 million of 2029 senior notes with an annual interest rate of 3.95%. The proceeds from the notes were used to repay portions of its outstanding 2022 senior notes and 2036 senior notes. The Company recognized approximately $32 million of loss on extinguishment of debt in the third quarter of 2019 associated with these actions.

The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the third quarter of 2019 under a previously announced repurchase authorization (the "Share Repurchase Authorization"). As of September 30, 2019, 3.6 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 third quarter and year-to-date 2019, net sales increased $65 million and $135 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. For the third quarter, the increase in net sales was driven by the impact of higher sales volumes in our Roofing and Composites segments, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars. For the year-to-date comparison, the increase in net sales was driven by the impact of higher sales volumes in our Roofing and Composites segments and higher selling prices in our Roofing and Insulation segments, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars.

GROSS MARGIN

In the third quarter and year-to-date 2019, gross margin increased $13 million and $5 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. For the third quarter, the increase was driven by the impact of higher sales volumes in our Roofing segment. For the year-to-date comparison, the increase was driven by higher selling prices in our Roofing and Insulation segments and higher sales volumes in our Roofing segment.

MARKETING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

In the third quarter 2019, marketing and administrative expenses increased $5 million compared to the same period in 2018. Year-to-date marketing and administrative expenses decreased $4 million compared to the same period in 2018. For the third quarter, the increase in marketing and administrative expenses was primarily driven by the comparison to lower performance-based compensation in the same period in the prior year. For the year-to-date comparison, the decrease in marketing and administrative expenses was primarily driven by lower general corporate expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

In the third quarter 2019, interest expense, net was flat compared to the same period in 2018. For the year-to-date 2019, interest expense, net increased $9 million, primarily due to a decrease in interest income earned on cash balances and lower interest capitalized.

LOSS ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company recognized a $32 million loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with the repurchase of a portion of its outstanding 2022 senior notes and 2036 senior notes in a tender offer.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $61 million and $159 million, respectively. For the third quarter 2019, the Company's effective tax rate was 29% and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company's effective tax rate was 32%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, an increase in valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign tax assets and other discrete adjustments. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, legislative changes, an increase in tax valuation allowances recorded against certain foreign deferred tax assets and other discrete adjustments.

The realization of deferred tax assets depends on achieving a certain minimum level of future taxable income. Management currently believes that an immaterial amount of valuation allowances of certain foreign jurisdictions could be reduced within the next 12 months.

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $67 million and $127 million, respectively. For the third quarter 2018, the Company's effective tax rate was 29% and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company's effective tax rate was 25%.

The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2018, was 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 and other discrete adjustments, offset by a reversal of a valuation allowance recorded in prior years against certain European net deferred tax assets. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the nine months ended September 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, a reversal of a valuation allowance recorded in prior years against certain European net deferred tax assets 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 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the nature of these costs.

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.

Adjusting income (expense) items to EBIT are shown in the table below (in millions):

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.

Composites

The table below provides a summary of net sales, EBIT and depreciation and amortization expense for the Composites segment (in millions):


	Three Months Ended September 30,									Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018

NET SALES

In our Composites segment, net sales in the third quarter 2019 increased $23 million compared to the same period in 2018. The positive impact of higher sales volumes of about 7% was partially offset by the negative impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars and lower selling prices of $4 million.

For the year-to-date 2019, net sales in our Composites segment increased $19 million compared to the same period in 2018. The positive impact of higher sales volumes of 5% was partially offset by the $45 million negative impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars, unfavorable customer mix and slightly lower selling prices.

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

EBIT

In our Composites segment, EBIT in the third quarter of 2019 increased $3 million compared to the same period in 2018. The positive impact of higher sales volumes and lower rebuild and start-up costs of $9 million was partially offset by lower selling prices, higher input cost inflation, and the unfavorable impact of translating sales and costs denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars.

For the year-to-date 2019, EBIT in our Composites segment decreased $4 million compared to the same period in 2018. The unfavorable impact of higher input cost inflation of $17 million, lower selling prices, the $5 million unfavorable impact of translating sales and costs denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars and unfavorable product and customer mix was partially offset by the positive impact of improved manufacturing performance, higher sales volumes and lower rebuild and start-up costs.

OUTLOOK

Global glass reinforcements market demand has historically grown with global industrial production and we believe this relationship will continue. In 2019, we expect our volume growth to exceed growth in global industrial production.

Insulation

The table below provides a summary of net sales, EBIT and depreciation and amortization expense for the Insulation segment (in millions):


	Three Months Ended September 30,									Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Net sales	$	693		$	710		$	1,945		$	1,988
% change from prior year	-2		%	25		%	-2		%	41		%
EBIT	$	84		$	94		$	141		$	175
EBIT as a % of net sales	12		%	13		%	7		%	9		%
Depreciation and amortization expense	$	48		$	47		$	146		$	138

NET SALES

In our Insulation segment, net sales in the third quarter of 2019 decreased $17 million compared to the same period in 2018. Higher selling prices of $6 million were more than offset by lower sales volumes of about 2% and the $10 million unfavorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars.

For the year-to-date 2019, net sales in our Insulation segment decreased $43 million compared to the same period in 2018. Higher selling prices of $49 million and the $38 million impact of our acquisition of Paroc (net sales from January 1, 2019 through February 4, 2019 that were related to the one-year post-acquisition period) were largely offset by lower sales volumes of about 4%. The unfavorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars reduced net sales by $40 million compared to the same period in 2018.

EBIT

In our Insulation segment, EBIT in the third quarter of 2019 decreased $10 million compared to the same period in 2018. The impact of higher selling prices offset higher input cost inflation of $6 million. Production curtailment actions primarily taken in our North American residential fiberglass business in the third quarter of 2019 resulted in $16 million of lower fixed cost absorption on lower production volumes compared to the same period in 2018. The $6 million impact of favorable manufacturing performance more than offset the impact of lower sales volumes.

For the year-to-date 2019, EBIT in our Insulation segment decreased $34 million compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to lower sales volumes. The impact of higher selling prices was more than offset by production curtailment actions primarily taken in our North American residential fiberglass business, which resulted in $52 million of lower fixed cost absorption on lower production volumes. Favorable manufacturing performance and the favorable impact of lower rebuild and

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

start-up costs were partially offset by higher input cost inflation of $22 million and higher selling, general and administrative costs.

OUTLOOK

The outlook for Insulation demand is driven by new North American residential construction, remodeling and repair activity; and commercial and industrial construction activity in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Demand for commercial and industrial insulation markets is most closely correlated to industrial production growth and overall economic activity in the global markets we serve. Demand for residential insulation is most closely correlated to U.S. housing starts, and we expect slightly negative growth in U.S. housing starts in 2019. During the third quarter of 2019, the average Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) of U.S. housing starts was approximately 1.282 million, up from an annual average of approximately 1.233 million starts in the third quarter of 2018.

We believe the geographic, product and channel mix of our portfolio may continue to moderate the impact of market demand-driven variability associated with the U.S. housing market.

Roofing

The table below provides a summary of net sales, EBIT and depreciation and amortization expense for the Roofing segment (in millions):


	Three Months Ended September 30,									Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Net sales	$	713		$	645		$	2,105		$	1,946
% change from prior year	11		%	-5		%	8		%	-2		%
EBIT	$	143		$	127		$	368		$	351
EBIT as a % of net sales	20		%	20		%	17		%	18		%
Depreciation and amortization expense	$	14		$	13		$	40		$	38

NET SALES

In our Roofing segment, net sales in the third quarter of 2019 increased $68 million compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes of about 12% on higher shingle volumes and higher third-party asphalt sales. Slightly lower selling prices, primarily as a result of the comparison to lower rebates associated with volume targets in the same period in the prior year, offset higher sales volumes.

For the year-to-date 2019, net sales in our Roofing segment increased $159 million compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was driven by higher sales volumes of about 5% on higher shingle volumes, $37 million of higher selling prices, favorable product mix and higher third-party asphalt sales.

EBIT

In our Roofing segment, EBIT in the third quarter of 2019 increased $16 million compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes. Slightly lower selling prices were partially offset by lower transportation costs.

For the year-to-date 2019, EBIT in our Roofing segment increased $17 million compared to the same period in 2018. The favorable impact of higher selling prices of $37 million and higher sales volumes largely offset $50 million higher input cost inflation and the unfavorable impact of lower first quarter production volumes compared to the same period a year ago. The favorable impact of lower transportation costs and product mix accounted for the year-over-year increase.

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

OUTLOOK

In our Roofing segment, we expect the factors that have driven strong margins in recent years, such as growth from 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, demand from new construction, competitive pricing pressure and the cost and availability of raw materials, particularly asphalt.

Corporate, Other and Eliminations

The table below provides a summary of EBIT and depreciation and amortization expense for the Corporate, Other and Eliminations category (in millions):

EBIT	$	(17)	$	(26)	$	(75)	$	(125)
Depreciation and amortization	$	13	$	11	$	37	$	38

EBIT

In Corporate, Other and Eliminations, EBIT losses for the third quarter and year-to-date 2019 were lower by $9 million and $50 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. EBIT improvement in both the third quarter and year-to-date 2019 was primarily driven by lower restructuring and acquisition-related costs and lower general corporate expense and other. 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 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

General corporate expense and other for the third quarter and year-to-date 2019 was lower by $1 million and $12 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018, primarily driven by lower general corporate expenses.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization in the third quarter and year-to-date 2019 was relatively flat compared to the same periods in 2018.

OUTLOOK

In 2019, we expect general corporate expenses to range between $110 million and $115 million.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS

Liquidity

The Company's primary external sources of liquidity are its Senior Revolving Credit Facility and its Receivables Securitization Facility (each as defined below).

Interest on the 2029 senior notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 each year, beginning on February 15, 2020. The proceeds from the 2029 senior notes were used to repay portions of the 2022 senior notes and 2036 senior notes. The Company recognized approximately $32 million of loss on extinguishment of debt in the third quarter of 2019 associated with these actions.

The Receivables Securitization Facility and Senior Revolving Credit Facility mature in 2022 and 2024, respectively. The Company also has a term loan (the "Term Loan"), which requires minimum quarterly principal repayments, all of which have been paid as of September 30, 2019, and full repayment by February 2021. As of September 30, 2019, the Term Loan had $300 million outstanding. The company has no significant debt maturities of senior notes before 2022. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had $3.2 billion of total debt and cash and cash equivalents of $35 million.

Cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries may be subject to foreign withholding taxes upon repatriation to the U.S. As of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company had $35 million and $67 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. The Company continues to assert indefinite reinvestment in accordance with ASC 740 based on the laws as of enactment of the tax legislation commonly known as the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

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, 2018 (the "2018 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.

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 to generate proceeds.

The agreements governing our Senior Revolving Credit Facility, Receivables Securitization Facility and Term Loan contain various covenants that we believe are usual and customary. These covenants include a maximum allowed leverage ratio and a minimum required interest expense coverage ratio. We were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2019.

Cash Flows

The following table presents a summary of our cash balance, cash flows, and availability on credit facilities (in millions):


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018
Cash and cash equivalents	$	35	$	136
Net cash flow provided by operating activities	$	596	$	506
Net cash flow used for investing activities	$	(285)	$	(1,551)
Net cash flow (used for) provided by financing activities	$	(370)	$	953
Availability on the Senior Revolving Credit Facility	$	791	$	748
Availability on the Receivables Securitization Facility	$	183	$	—

Operating activities: For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company's operating activities provided $596 million of cash compared to $506 million provided in the same period in 2018. The change in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a larger decrease in operating assets and liabilities (mainly a reduction in inventories from the prior year-end) in 2019 compared to the same period of 2018.

Investing activities: Net cash flow used for investing activities decreased $1,266 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, primarily driven by lower spending on acquisitions and lower cash paid for property, plant, and equipment compared to the same period in the prior year.

Financing activities: Net cash used for financing activities was $370 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $953 million in the same period in 2018. The change of $1,323 million was primarily due to higher long-term debt inflows to fund the purchase of Paroc in the first quarter of 2018 and higher payments on the Term Loan in 2019 (see Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Liquidity section above for further discussion of activities related to debt).

2019 Investments

Capital Expenditures: The Company will continue a balanced approach to the use of its cash flows. Operational cash flow will be used to fund the Company’s growth and innovation. Capital expenditures in 2019 are expected to be approximately $460 million, which is in-line with expected depreciation and amortization.

Tax Net Operating Losses and U.S Foreign Tax Credits

There have been no material changes to the disclosure in our 2018 Form 10-K.

Pension Contributions

Please refer to Note 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects to contribute $39 million in cash to its global pension plans during 2019. 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.

Contractual Obligations

In the normal course of business, we enter into contractual obligations to make payments to third parties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, 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 September 30, 2019, our RIR was 0.53 as compared to 0.43 in the same period a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our RIR was 0.64 as compared to 0.52 in the same period a year ago.
