4. 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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, foreign exchange forward contracts and U.S. treasury rate lock agreements, 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):

4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
In March 2020, the Company entered into a $175 million forward U.S. Treasury rate lock agreement to manage the U.S. Treasury portion of its interest rate risk associated with the anticipated issuance of certain 10-year fixed rate senior notes. The Company has designated this outstanding forward U.S. Treasury rate lock agreement, which expires on December 15, 2022, as a cash flow hedge. The locked fixed rate of this agreement is 0.994%. In September 2022, the Company de-designated the instrument due to a change in the forecasted issuance of certain senior notes and re-designated the effective portion of the instrument which resulted in the recognition of a $6 million gain in the third quarter 2022.
In June 2021, the Company entered into five currency forward contracts with unrelated counterparties totaling $23 million to mitigate against unwanted or anticipated moves in the European Euro exchange rate against the U.S. Dollar, pertaining to forecasted Euro denominated invoices for capital expenditures. The Company has designated each of the individual contracts as cash flow hedges, with the last hedge maturing no later than December 2023.
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). In the second quarter of 2022, the Company terminated the remaining cross-currency forward contracts related to the hedged portions of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries, resulting in cash proceeds of $11 million.
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, 2022, the Company had notional amounts of $551 million for non-designated derivative financial instruments related to foreign currency exposures in U.S. Dollars primarily related to European Euro, Indian Rupee, Brazilian Real, South Korean Won, Chinese Yuan, and Hong Kong Dollar. In addition, the Company had notional amounts of $19 million for non-designated derivative financial instruments related to foreign currency exposures in European Euro primarily related to the Russian Ruble, Polish Złoty, and Norwegian Krone.

5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently should circumstances change or events occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.
No testing was deemed necessary in the first nine months of 2022. The changes in the net carrying value of goodwill by segment are as follows (in millions):

Other Intangible Assets
The Company amortizes the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives which, individually, range up to 45 years. The Company's future cash flows are not materially impacted by its ability to extend or renew agreements related to its amortizable intangible assets.
There is one trade name used by our European building and technical insulation business within our Insulation segment that is at an increased risk of impairment. If assumptions or estimates with respect to the Company's future performance vary from what is expected, including those assumptions relating to interest rates and economic and geopolitical uncertainty in Europe, future impairment analyses could result in a decline in fair value that may trigger a future impairment charge. The affected asset had a carrying value of $139 million as of September 30, 2022.

Machinery and equipment includes certain precious metals used in our production tooling, which comprise approximately 10% of total machinery and equipment as of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Precious metals used in our production tooling are depleted as they are consumed during the production process, which typically represents an annual expense of about 3% of the outstanding carrying value.
Our production tooling needs in our Composites segment are changing in response to economic and technological factors. As a result, we exchanged certain precious metals used in production tooling for certain other precious metals to be used in production tooling. These non-cash investing activities are not included in Net cash flow used for investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, these non-cash exchanges resulted in a net increase to Machinery and equipment of $7 million and $18 million, respectively, and gains totaling $7 million and $18 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, these non-cash exchanges resulted in a net increase to Machinery and equipment of less than $1 million and $41 million, respectively, and gains totaling less than $1 million and $41 million, respectively. The gains are included in Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and are reflected in the Corporate, Other and Eliminations reporting category. We do not expect these exchanges to materially impact our current or future capital expenditure requirements or rate of depletion.

7. ACQUISITIONS
On May 23, 2022, Owens Corning and Pultron Composites ("Pultron") formed a joint venture ("JV") to manufacture and sell fiberglass rebar. The Company contributed approximately $47 million to acquire a 65.5% controlling interest and has established a redeemable noncontrolling interest related to Pultron, the minority holder. The JV expands Owens Corning’s capability to produce high-value material solutions by combining the Company’s glass-fiber material technology, channel access and extensive industry experience with Pultron’s manufacturing expertise and process efficiency. The fully consolidated operating results and a preliminary purchase price allocation for the JV have been included in the Company’s Composites segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the formation of the JV. Subsequent to the JV formation, the JV acquired assets and technology from Pultron for approximately $65 million. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and resulted in the recognition of $15 million in intangible assets, consisting of technology, with an estimated weighted average life of 15 years and $42 million in goodwill. 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 pro-forma effect of this acquisition on revenues and earnings was not material.
On June 1, 2022, the Company acquired all of the outstanding assets of WearDeck®, a premium producer of composite weather-resistant decking for commercial and residential applications, for approximately $133 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition advances the Composites business growth strategy to focus on high-value material solutions within the building and construction industry. The operating results and a preliminary purchase price allocation for WearDeck® have been included in the Composites segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and resulted in the recognition of $38 million in intangible assets and $68 million in goodwill. The intangible assets consist of indefinite-lived trademarks of $7 million, technology of $10 million with an estimated weighted average life of 11 years and customer relationships of $21 million with an estimated weighted average life of 15 years. 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 pro-forma effect of this acquisition on revenues and earnings was not material.
On August 1, 2022, the Company acquired Natural Polymers, LLC ("Natural Polymers"), an innovative manufacturer of spray polyurethane foam insulation for building and construction applications for $111 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition advances the Owens Corning strategy to strengthen the Company's core building and construction products and expand its addressable markets into higher-growth segments.

The intangible assets consist of indefinite-lived trademarks of $5 million, technology of $12 million with an estimated weighted average life of 6 years and customer relationships of $27 million with an estimated weighted average life of 17 years. 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 pro-forma effect of this acquisition on revenues and earnings was not material.
On September 1, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in Fiberteq, LLC ("Fiberteq"), the joint venture between Owens Corning and IKO Industries, Ltd, which produces high-quality wet-formed fiberglass mat for roofing applications for $140 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition advances the Composites strategy to focus on high-value material solutions and expands Owens Corning's capacity to produce non-woven mat. The Company's 50% interest in Fiberteq was accounted for as an equity-method investment and had a carrying value of $17 million at the acquisition date. The Company used the discounted cash flow method to remeasure the previously held equity method investment to its fair value of $147 million, resulting in the recognition of a gain of $130 million, which is recorded in Gain on equity method investment on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The operating results and a preliminary purchase price allocation for Fiberteq have been included in the Composites segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and resulted in the recognition of $62 million in intangible assets, which primarily consists of customer relationships with an estimated weighted average life of 3 years, a $62 million unfavorable contract liability and $247 million in goodwill. 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 pro-forma effect of this acquisition on revenues and earnings was not material.

8. DIVESTITURES
On July 1, 2022, the Company finalized the sale of the European portion of the dry-use chopped strands ("DUCS") product line located in Chambéry, France, within the Composite's segment. As a result of this sale, the Company received $75 million, net of cash sold, in consideration. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $29 million in Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings to reflect fair value less cost to sell of these assets.
On September 13, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Russian operations. The regulatory approval process, which is not considered perfunctory, is ongoing and could result in significant changes to key terms of the agreement. As a result of this uncertainty, management determined assets held for sale treatment had not been triggered as of September 30, 2022. Net sales from our Russian operations and its associated assets represent approximately 1% of annual consolidated net sales and consolidated assets, respectively.

RESTRUCTURING RELATED-COSTS
Exit of DUCS Product Line
On July 1, 2022, the Company finalized the sale of the European portion of the dry-use chopped strands ("DUCS") product line located in Chambéry, France, within the Composite's segment. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $29 million in Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in the second quarter to reflect the fair value less cost to sell of the assets. Please refer to Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. The Company also took decisions to convert the DUCS manufacturing facilities located in Anderson, South Carolina and Kimchon, Korea to produce other glass fiber products needed to support our growth strategy in building and construction applications. As a result, the Company recorded $3 million associated with these actions in 2022. The Company does not expect to recognize significant incremental costs related to these actions.
Roofing Restructuring Actions
In December 2021, the Company took actions to restructure operations within the Roofing segment's components product line by relocating production assets from China to India which will allow the business to optimize its manufacturing network and support a tariff mitigation strategy. During the first nine months of 2022, the Company recorded $2 million of charges primarily related to other exit costs. The Company expects to recognize $4 million of incremental charges related to these actions.
Santa Clara Insulation Site
During the third quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the Company's Insulation site in Santa Clara, California. The Company expects to continue operations at this facility through early fourth quarter of 2022 and complete the transaction in the first quarter of 2023. This action is part of the Company's on-going strategy to operate a flexible, cost-efficient manufacturing network and geographically locate its assets to better service its customers. Cumulative cash pre-tax charges associated with the transaction are expected to be in the range of $30 million to $40 million, primarily related to severance and one-time employee termination benefits, demolition costs, and other closing costs. In addition, cumulative non-cash charges are expected to be in the range of $75 million to $85 million, primarily consisting of accelerated depreciation of property, plant and equipment and derecognition of the carrying value of land, which will offset the gross proceeds at closing.
During the first nine months of 2022, the Company recorded $22 million of charges, primarily related to accelerated depreciation, associated with this agreement.
2020 Insulation Restructuring Actions
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company took actions to avoid future capital outlays and reduce costs in its global Insulation segment, mainly through decisions to close certain manufacturing facilities in Shanghai, China and Fresno, Texas, and optimize a facility in Parainen, Finland. During the first nine months of 2022, the Company recorded $2 million of charges primarily related to accelerated depreciation. The Company does not expect to recognize significant incremental costs related to these actions.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized a gain of $27 million in Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, associated with the sale of the manufacturing facility in Shanghai, China.

12. PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Pension Plans
The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans. Under the plans, pension benefits are based on an employees' 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 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. 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.

13. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS
The Company may be involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings relating to employment, antitrust, tax, product liability, environmental, contracts, intellectual property 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, use of chemicals in our manufacturing processes, 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 volatile organic air emissions, and protection of biodiversity.
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, 2022, the Company was involved with a total of 23 sites worldwide, including 10 Superfund and state equivalent sites and 13 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, groundwater, and sediment 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 reasonably estimates the costs of remediation to be paid over a period of years. The Company accrues an amount on an undiscounted basis, when a liability is probable and reasonably estimable. Actual cost may differ from these estimates for the reasons mentioned above. At September 30, 2022, the Company had an accrual totaling $5 million for these costs, of which the current portion is $1 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.

14. STOCK COMPENSATION
Description of the 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 share awards. At September 30, 2022, the number of shares remaining available under the 2019 Stock Plan for all stock awards was approximately 2.7 million.
Prior to 2019, employees were eligible to receive stock awards under the Owens Corning 2016 Stock Plan and the Owens Corning 2013 Stock Plan.
Total Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense included in Marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings is as follows (in millions):

Total stock-based compensation expense | $ | 13 | $ | 12 | $ | 38 | $ | 36 | |||||||||||||||
Stock Options
The Company has granted stock options under its stockholder approved stock plans. 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 closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and an option’s maximum term is 10 years. The volatility assumption was based on a benchmark study of our peers prior to 2014. Starting with the options granted in 2014, the volatility was based on the Company’s historic volatility.
The Company has not granted stock options since the year ended December 31, 2014. As of September 30, 2022, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and the range of exercise prices on outstanding stock options was $37.65 - $42.16.

Restricted Stock Units
The Company has granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") under its stockholder approved stock plans. Compensation expense for RSUs is measured based on the closing market price of the stock at date of grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is typically or four years. The Stock Plans allow alternate vesting schedules for death, disability, and retirement. The weighted average grant date fair value of RSUs granted in 2022 was $90.71.

Balance at December 31, 2021 | 1,268,993 | $ | 62.25 | |||||
Granted | 360,856 | 90.71 | ||||||
Vested | (305,056) | 67.49 | ||||||
Forfeited | (53,804) | 75.11 | ||||||
Balance at September 30, 2022 | 1,270,989 | $ | 68.35 |
As of September 30, 2022, there was $39 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.42 years. The total grant date fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $21 million and $25 million, respectively.
Performance Share Units
The Company has granted performance share units ("PSUs") as a part of its long-term incentive plan program. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted both internal Company-based and external-based metric PSUs.
Internal Company-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 Dow Jones U.S. Construction & Materials Index. The amount of stock distributed will vary from 0% to 200% of PSUs awarded depending on the relative stockholder return performance. The fair value of external-based metric PSUs has been estimated at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation that uses various assumptions.
The following table provides a summary of the assumptions for PSUs granted in 2022:
Expected volatility | 41.65% | ||||
Risk free interest rate | 1.36% | ||||
Expected term (in years) | 2.91 | ||||
Grant date fair value of units granted | $ | 122.69 |
The risk-free interest rate was based on zero-coupon United States Treasury bills at the grant date. The expected term represents the period from the grant date to the end of the three-year performance period.

On February 14, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a new 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 will be at the Company's discretion. The Company repurchased 6.0 million shares of its common stock for $521 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, under the Repurchase Authorization. As of September 30, 2022, 7.4 million shares remain available for repurchase under the Repurchase Authorization.

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 global building and construction materials leader helping customers win in the market by providing innovative and sustainable solutions. The Company has three reporting segments: Composites, Insulation and Roofing. Through these lines of business, the Company manufactures and sells products worldwide. We maintain leading market positions in many of our major product categories.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Net earnings attributable to Owens Corning were $470 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $260 million in the same period of 2021. The Company reported $610 million in earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $394 million in the same period of 2021. The Company generated $487 million in adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”) for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $400 million in the same period of 2021. 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 2022 EBIT performance compared to the same period of 2021 increased $25 million, $49 million, and $17 million in our Composites, Insulation, and Roofing segments, respectively. Within our Corporate, Other and Eliminations category, General corporate expense and other increased by $4 million.
Cash and cash equivalents were $751 million as of September 30, 2022, compared to $920 million as of September 30, 2021 as a result of increased cash outflows from investing activities, partially offset by higher earnings. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company's operating activities provided $1,085 million of cash flow, compared to $1,168 million in the same period in 2021 due to an increase in operating assets, specifically receivables and inventory, in 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.
As the Russian invasion of Ukraine evolves, we continue to closely monitor the potential impact on our businesses and our people. We believe that we have taken the necessary steps to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory restrictions on international trade and financial transactions associated with our Russian businesses. On September 13, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Russian operations. The regulatory approval process, which is not considered perfunctory, is ongoing and could result in significant changes to key terms of the agreement. As a result of this uncertainty, management determined assets held for sale treatment had not been triggered as of September 30, 2022. We are working to expedite our exit, while remaining committed to the safety and security of our employees in the region. Net sales from our Russian operations and its associated assets represent approximately 1% of annual consolidated net sales and consolidated assets, respectively.
On September 1, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in Fiberteq, LLC ("Fiberteq"), the joint venture between Owens Corning and IKO Industries, Ltd, which produces high-quality wet-formed fiberglass mat for roofing applications for $140 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition advances the Composites strategy to focus on high-value material solutions and expands Owens Corning's capacity to produce non-woven mat. The Company's 50% interest in Fiberteq was accounted for as an equity-method investment and had a carrying value of $17 million at the acquisition date. The Company used the discounted cash flow method to remeasure the previously held equity method investment to its fair value of $147 million, resulting in the recognition of a gain of $130 million, which is recorded in Gain on equity method investment on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The operating results and a preliminary purchase price allocation for Fiberteq have been included in the Composites segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and resulted in the recognition of $247 million in goodwill. 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 pro-forma effect of this acquisition on revenues and earnings was not material.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
On August 1, 2022, the Company acquired Natural Polymers, LLC ("Natural Polymers"), an innovative manufacturer of spray polyurethane foam insulation for building and construction applications for $111 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition advances the Owens Corning strategy to strengthen the Company's core building and construction products and expand its addressable markets into higher-growth segments. The operating results and a preliminary purchase price allocation for Natural Polymers have been included in the Insulation segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and resulted in the recognition of $44 million in intangible assets and $60 million in goodwill. The intangible assets consist of indefinite-lived trademarks of $5 million, technology of $12 million with an estimated weighted average life of 6 years and customer relationships of $27 million with an estimated weighted average life of 17 years. 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 pro-forma effect of this acquisition on revenues and earnings was not material.
On July 1, 2022, the Company finalized the sale of the European portion of the dry-use chopped strands ("DUCS") product line located in Chambéry, France, within the Composite's segment. As a result of this sale, the Company received consideration of $75 million, net of cash sold. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $29 million in Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings to reflect fair value less cost to sell of these assets.
On June 1, 2022, the Company acquired all of the outstanding assets of WearDeck®, a premium producer of composite weather-resistant decking for commercial and residential applications, for approximately $133 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition advances the Composites business growth strategy to focus on high-value material solutions within the building and construction industry. The operating results and a preliminary purchase price allocation for WearDeck® have been included in the Composites segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the acquisition. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and resulted in the recognition of $38 million in intangible assets and $68 million in goodwill. The intangible assets consist of indefinite-lived trademarks of $7 million, technology of $10 million with an estimated weighted average life of 11 years and customer relationships of $21 million with an estimated weighted average life of 15 years. 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 pro-forma effect of this acquisition on revenues and earnings was not material.
On May 23, 2022, Owens Corning and Pultron Composites ("Pultron") formed a joint venture ("JV") to manufacture and sell fiberglass rebar. The Company contributed approximately $47 million to acquire a 65.5% controlling interest and has established a redeemable noncontrolling interest related to Pultron, the minority holder. The JV expands Owens Corning’s capability to produce high-value material solutions by combining the Company’s glass-fiber material technology, channel access and extensive industry experience with Pultron’s manufacturing expertise and process efficiency. The fully consolidated operating results and a preliminary purchase price allocation for the JV have been included in the Company’s Composites segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the formation of the JV. Subsequent to the JV formation, the JV acquired assets and technology from Pultron for approximately $65 million. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and resulted in the recognition of $15 million in intangible assets, consisting of technology, with an estimated weighted average life of 15 years and $42 million in goodwill. 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 pro-forma effect of this acquisition on revenues and earnings was not material.
On February 14, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a new 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 Company repurchased 2.5 million shares of its common stock for $206 million in the third quarter of 2022 under the Repurchase Authorization. As of September 30, 2022, 7.4 million shares remained available for repurchase under the 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 2022, net sales increased $316 million and increased $1,109 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. For the third quarter and year-to-date, the increase in net sales was driven by higher selling prices and favorable customer mix which were partially offset by lower sales volumes and the unfavorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars.
GROSS MARGIN
In the third quarter and year-to-date 2022, gross margin increased $97 million and increased $388 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021 driven by higher selling prices, partially offset by higher input cost inflation and transportation costs in all three segments.
MARKETING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
In the third quarter and year-to-date 2022, marketing and administrative expenses increased $15 million and increased $38 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021 driven primarily by higher general corporate expenses as business activities return to a more typical, post-pandemic level.
GAIN ON EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT
In the third quarter and year-to-date 2022, the Company remeasured the previously held equity method investment to its fair value of $147 million, resulting in the recognition of a non-cash gain of $130 million.
OTHER INCOME, NET
In the third quarter and year-to-date 2022, other income increased $9 million and decreased $50 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. For the third quarter, the increase was driven primarily by higher gains of the sale of certain precious metals. For year-to-date, the decrease was primarily driven by the $29 million impairment loss on the sale of our DUCS product line located in Chambery, France and $23 million in lower gains on sale of certain precious metals compared to the same period in 2021.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET
In the third quarter and year-to-date 2022, interest expense, net, decreased $3 million and decreased $15 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. For the third quarter, the decrease is mainly driven by higher interest income. For year-to-date 2022, the decrease was driven by lower long-term debt balances year over year due to the repayment of the senior notes due in 2022 and higher interest income.
LOSS ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT
During the third quarter of 2021, the Company recognized a $9 million loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with the make-whole call to repay the remaining portion of its outstanding 2022 senior notes.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $114 million and $340 million, respectively. For the third quarter of 2022, the Company's effective tax rate was 20% and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company's effective tax rate was 23%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, non-taxable gain on acquisition, foreign rate differential 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, 2022 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, non-taxable gain on acquisition, U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, foreign rate differential 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 it is not 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.

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 third quarter of 2022 increased $47 million compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was driven by higher selling prices of $100 million, partially offset by lower sales volumes of approximately 7%. Favorable customer mix of $15 million was more than offset by the $19 million unfavorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars. The remaining variance was driven by the net impact of divestitures and acquisitions.
For year-to-date 2022, net sales in our Composites segment increased $338 million compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was driven by higher selling prices of $361 million, partially offset by slightly lower sales volumes. Favorable customer mix of $57 million was largely offset by the $53 million unfavorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars. The remaining variance was driven by the net impact of divestitures and acquisitions.
EBIT
In our Composites segment, EBIT in the third quarter of 2022 increased $25 million compared to the same period in 2021. Higher selling prices of $100 million more than offset $60 million of input cost inflation and $11 million in higher transportation costs. Favorable customer mix was more than offset by the unfavorable impact of slightly lower sales volumes and the net impact of divestitures and acquisitions.
For the year-to-date 2022, EBIT in our Composites segment increased $156 million compared to the same period in 2021. Higher selling prices of $361 million and favorable customer mix more than offset $163 million of input cost inflation and $35 million in higher transportation costs. The remaining variance was driven by unfavorable manufacturing performance, other one-time charges and the impact of slightly lower sales volumes.
OUTLOOK
Global glass reinforcements market demand has several economic indicators including residential, non-residential construction and manufacturing production indices, as well as global wind installations. The Company anticipates relatively stable market conditions, with increased economic uncertainty, continued input cost inflation and primary labor availability. The Company remains focused on managing costs, capital expenditures, and working capital.

NET SALES
In our Insulation segment, net sales in the third quarter of 2022 increased $150 million compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was driven by higher selling prices of $179 million. Favorable customer and product mix were offset by approximately 2% lower sales volumes. The acquisition of Natural Polymers contributed $13 million to the increase. The remaining variance was driven by the $39 million unfavorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars.
For year-to-date 2022, net sales in our Insulation segment increased $437 million compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was driven by higher selling prices of $438 million. Favorable customer and product mix and the contribution from the acquisition of Natural Polymers were more than offset by the $85 million unfavorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars.
EBIT
In our Insulation segment, EBIT in the third quarter of 2022 increased $49 million compared to the same period in 2021. Higher selling prices of $179 million more than offset $89 million of input cost inflation and $17 million in higher transportation costs. The remaining variance was driven by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, unfavorable manufacturing performance, slightly lower sales volumes and the negative impact of translating profits denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars.
For the year-to-date 2022, EBIT in our Insulation segment increased $141 million compared to the same period in 2021. Higher selling prices of $438 million more than offset $246 million of input cost inflation and $46 million in higher transportation costs. Higher selling, general and administrative expenses and the negative impact of translating profits denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars more than offset favorable customer and product mix.
OUTLOOK
The outlook for Insulation demand is driven by North American new residential construction, remodeling and repair activity, as well as commercial and industrial construction activity in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Demand in 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.
During the third quarter of 2022, the average Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) of U.S. housing starts was approximately 1.461 million, down from an annual average of approximately 1.566 million starts in the third quarter of 2021.
The Company expects both the North American new residential construction market and global commercial and industrial construction markets to remain stable, with increased economic uncertainty, continued input cost inflation and primary labor availability. The Company remains focused on managing costs, capital expenditures, and working capital.

NET SALES
In our Roofing segment, net sales in the third quarter of 2022 increased $134 million compared to the same period in 2021. Higher selling prices of $145 million and higher third-party asphalt sales of $32 million were partially offset by lower sales volumes of approximately 4% and unfavorable customer and product mix.
For year to date 2022, net sales in our Roofing segment increased $362 million compared to the same period in 2021. Higher selling prices of $418 million and higher-third party asphalt sales of $57 million were partially offset by lower sales volumes of 3.5% and unfavorable customer and product mix.
EBIT
In our Roofing segment, EBIT in the third quarter of 2022 increased $17 million compared to the same period in 2021. Higher selling prices of $145 million more than offset input cost inflation, primarily asphalt, of $94 million and $8 million of higher transportation costs. The remaining variance was driven by the impact of lower sales volumes and unfavorable customer and product mix, as well as, unfavorable manufacturing performance and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
For year-to-date 2022, EBIT in our Roofing segment increased $61 million compared to the same period in 2021. Higher selling prices of $418 million more than offset input cost inflation, primarily asphalt, of $255 million and $27 million of higher transportation costs. The remaining variance was driven by the impact of lower sales volumes and unfavorable manufacturing performance, as well as, unfavorable customer and product mix and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
OUTLOOK
In our Roofing segment, we expect the factors that have driven strong margins in recent years, such as stable remodeling demand, along with 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.
Despite strength in the U.S. asphalt shingle market, the Company will continue to evaluate economic factors such as input cost inflation, supply chain uncertainties and primary labor availability. The Company remains focused on managing costs, capital expenditures, and working capital.

EBIT
In Corporate, Other and Eliminations, EBIT expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were lower by $125 million compared to the same period in 2021, primarily driven by the gain on remeasurement of the Fiberteq equity investment. For the year-to-date 2022, EBIT expenses in Corporate, Other and Eliminations were lower by $60 million. The gain on remeasurement of the Fiberteq equity investment and the gain on the sale of the Shanghai, China facility were partially offset by the impairment loss on Chambéry, France assets held for sale, and the year over year increase of restructuring charges, general corporate expenses, and lower gains on sale of certain precious metals offset.
General corporate expense and other for the third quarter 2022 were higher by $4 million compared to the same period in 2021. For year-to-date, general corporate expense and other were higher by $19 million compared to the same period in 2021. For the quarter and year-to-date, the increase was primarily driven by higher general corporate expenses as business activities return to a more typical, post-pandemic level.
OUTLOOK
In 2022, we estimate general corporate expenses to be in the range of $170 million and $180 million.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS
Liquidity
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are its balance of Cash and cash equivalents of $751 million as of September 30, 2022, its Senior Revolving Credit Facility and its Receivables Securitization Facility (each as defined below).
The Company has an $800 million senior revolving credit facility (the "Senior Revolving Credit Facility") that has been amended from time to time, which matures in July 2026.
The Company has a $280 million receivables securitization facility (the "Receivables Securitization Facility") that has been amended from time to time, which matures in April 2024.
- 45 -
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
The following table shows how the Company utilized its primary sources of liquidity (in millions):
Balance at September 30, 2022 | ||||||||
Senior Revolving Credit Facility | Receivables Securitization Facility | |||||||
Facility size or borrowing limit | $ | 800 | $ | 280 | ||||
Collateral capacity limitation on availability | N/A | — | ||||||
Outstanding borrowings | — | — | ||||||
Outstanding letters of credit | 4 | 1 | ||||||
Availability on facility | $ | 796 | $ | 279 |
The Receivables Securitization Facility and Senior Revolving Credit Facility mature in 2024 and 2026, respectively. The Company has no significant debt maturities of senior notes before the fourth quarter of 2024. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $3.0 billion of total debt and cash and cash equivalents of $751 million. The agreements governing our Senior Revolving Credit Facility and Receivables Securitization Facility contain various covenants that we believe are usual and customary. These covenants include a maximum allowed leverage ratio. We were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2022.
In June 2022, the Senior Revolving Credit Facility was amended to allow the Company to continue to operate in comprehensively sanctioned countries so long as it is not violating any sanctions.
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, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had $296 million and $156 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. The Company continues to assert indefinite reinvestment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (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 16 of the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 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.
Material Cash Requirements
Our anticipated uses of cash include capital expenditures, working capital needs, share repurchases, meeting financial obligations, payments of any dividends authorized by our Board of Directors, acquisitions, restructuring actions and pension contributions. 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 our Receivables Securitization Facility, will provide ample liquidity to enable us to meet our cash requirements.
Please refer to Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our 2021 Form 10-K for more details on these material cash requirements. During the third quarter of 2022, there have been no material changes to our expected uses of cash and contractual obligations.
Supplier Finance Programs
We review supplier terms and conditions on an ongoing basis, and have negotiated payment terms extensions in recent years in connection with our efforts to reduce working capital and improve cash flow. Separate from those terms extension actions, certain of our subsidiaries have entered into paying agency agreements with third-party administrators. These voluntary supply chain finance programs (collectively, the “Programs”) generally give participating suppliers the ability to sell, or otherwise pledge as collateral, their receivables from the Company to the participating financial institutions, at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and financial institutions. The Company is not a party to the arrangements between the suppliers and the financial institutions. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions to sell, or otherwise pledge as collateral, amounts under these arrangements. One of our Programs
- 46 -
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
includes a parent guarantee to the participating financial institution for a certain U.S. subsidiary that, at the time of the respective Program’s inception in 2015, was a guarantor subsidiary of the Company’s Senior Revolving Credit Facility.
The payables associated with suppliers choosing to voluntarily participate in the Programs were presented within Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and totaled $246 million and $226 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The amounts paid which are associated with suppliers once they chose to voluntarily participate in the Programs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were $481 million and $373 million, respectively, with all activity related to the obligations presented within operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The desire of suppliers and financial institutions to participate in the Programs could be negatively impacted by, among other factors, the availability of capital committed by the participating financial institutions, the cost and availability of our suppliers’ capital, a credit rating downgrade or deteriorating financial performance of the Company or its participating subsidiaries, or other changes in financial markets beyond our control. We do not expect these risks, or potential long-term growth of our Programs, to materially affect our overall financial condition, as we expect a significant portion of our payments to continue to be made outside of the Programs. Accordingly, we do not believe the Programs have materially impacted our current period liquidity, and do not believe that the Programs are reasonably likely to materially affect liquidity in the future.
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, | ||||||||
2022 | 2021 | |||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 751 | $ | 920 | ||||
Net cash flow provided by operating activities | $ | 1,085 | $ | 1,168 | ||||
Net cash flow used for investing activities | $ | (573) | $ | (242) | ||||
Net cash flow used for financing activities | $ | (675) | $ | (716) | ||||
Availability on the Senior Revolving Credit Facility | $ | 796 | $ | 796 | ||||
Availability on the Receivables Securitization Facility | $ | 279 | $ | 279 | ||||
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022 decreased $169 million compared to September 30, 2021, primarily driven by increased cash outflows from investing activities.
Operating activities: For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company's operating activities provided $1,085 million of cash compared to $1,168 million provided in the same period in 2021. The change in cash provided by operating activities was due to an increase in operating assets, specifically receivables and inventory, in 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.
Investing activities: Net cash flow used for investing activities increased $331 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, resulting from higher year-over-year spending on acquisitions.
Financing activities: Net cash used for financing activities was $675 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to net cash used for financing activities of $716 million in the same period in 2021. The change was primarily due to increased treasury stock purchases in 2022 compared to 2021, which more than offset payments on long-term debt that occurred in 2021.

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 Incident Rate (“RIR”) as defined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our RIR was 0.64, consistent with the same period a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our RIR was 0.72 compared to 0.61 in the same period a year ago.
