Good morning and welcome to the Owens Corning Second Quarter 2016 Earnings Conference Call. All participants will be in listen-only mode. After today's presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. Please note this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Thierry Denis, Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Thierry J. Denis - Vice President-Investor Relations

Management

Thank you, Gary, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for taking the time to join us for today's conference call and a review of our business results for the second quarter 2016. Joining us today are Mike Thaman, Owens Corning's Chairman and CEO; and Michael McMurray, Chief Financial Officer. Following our presentation this morning, we will open this one-hour call to your questions. Please limit yourselves to one question and one follow-up. Earlier this morning, we issued a news release and filed a 10-Q that detailed our financial results for the second quarter. For the purposes of our discussion today, we've prepared presentation slides that summarize our performance and results for the second quarter of 2016 and we will refer to these slides during this call. You can access the earnings press release, Form 10-Q and the presentation slides at our website, owenscorning.com. Refer to the Investors link under the corporate section of our homepage. A transcript and recording of this call and the supporting slides will be available on our website for future reference. Please reference slide 2 before we begin, where we offer a couple of reminders. First, today's remarks will include forward-looking statements based on our current forecasts and estimates of future events.

We will now begin the question-and-answer session. The first question comes from Mike Wood with Macquarie. Please go ahead. Mike Wood - Macquarie Capital (USA), Inc.: Hi. Good morning. I just wanted to get some more color on the 10-Q you filed with the Roofing price being down 7%. I just want to understand your comments that pricing was broadly stable in the quarter with some progress at the end. If you could just bridge what was causing that, if it was mix or something else? Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Sure, Mike. This is Mike. In the Q, we disclose Roofing on a year-over-year basis, so the 10-Q disclosure is 2Q 2016 versus 2Q 2015. Generally, in our management of the business, we tend to think about the business much more in terms of sequential performance. So our comments on the call today are related to first quarter pricing in Roofing. We saw a pretty good price performance in the second quarter. I think on the last quarter call, we had alluded to the fact that late in the first quarter we had seen a little bit of price erosion coming into the second quarter. Prices were relatively stable, and then through the quarter we actually got some price associated with the June price increase, so we finished the quarter with better prices than what we had ended the quarter with. The comp versus last year is really a timing issue versus how pricing played out in the first quarter and the second quarter of last year and it really had nothing to do with the way we see pricing now or really our pricing outlook. We're relatively bullish on pricing here in the third quarter. There was another August price increase out there…

Thank you. My question is in Insulation. You had referred to, I believe, some capacity curtailments that are coming in the second half of the year. Can you give us any sort of feel of how much capacity you think you'll be taking down? And the second question on that would be on the demand. You talked about tightness coming in the market; picking up market share that way. Now, it feels like more of a 2017 issue than a second half of 2016, but would like any of your views on that topic as well. Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Sure, Keith, happy to talk about that. First of all, I just want to clarify some of the comments we made today regarding Insulation. I mean, obviously, Insulation from a margin point of view had a very good second quarter. I think what you're seeing in the business is we did have a loss of revenue that we talked about on our last call, but the profitability of the U.S. new construction market is still below our expectations and below what we need in terms of performance for that business. So the loss of revenue really did not produce a significant impact on us in terms of loss of margin in the quarter. As a result, we were able to – margin dollars, we are able to actually grow EBIT in a down revenue quarter. That's not going to be the case we believe going forward as a lot of the production curtailments we took in the second quarter did absorb some fixed cost in the inventory. And what we have in terms of cost in inventory today will be higher as it comes through in the third quarter and the fourth quarter than…

The next question comes from Scott Rednor with Zelman & Associates. Please go ahead. Scott Rednor - Zelman & Associates: Hi. Good morning. Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Good morning, Scott. Scott Rednor - Zelman & Associates: Within the Insulation top-line guidance for the back-half of the year, what's the expectation with – for – you say the customer loss on one end dragging it down, but what's the expectation to kind of get back to a slightly negative full year rate which apply acceleration from what you saw in 2Q? Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Well, obviously, our guidance for the full year is that we think revenue will be about flat. Inside the Insulation segment, we've got a lot more going on besides just U.S. new construction. So we have a very nice business in Asia, nice business in Latin America. We do well in Canada. We've got mechanical and industrial products. We have foam product line. And as you might expect, consistent with kind of economic growth and particularly growth in housing in the U.S., all those businesses are growing. So we think that kind of the guidance we've given of slightly down revenue or flattish-type revenue and flattish-type margins that we've said for the business would be that those businesses would give us enough growth to offset the share loss that we've experienced in U.S. residential new construction. Having said that, our teams are at work trying to improve our share position in U.S. residential construction. We don't believe that we will be able to restore all of our share this year, and that's not really the goal we've given to our team. We're out there trying to win business and earn business and don't feel…

Good morning, gentlemen. Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Good morning, Ken.

Kenneth R. Zener - KeyBanc Capital Markets, Inc.

Mike, you said OC has the "bulk of available capacity in the industry" referring to fiberglass and referencing your slide. I believe the majority of what you're referring to is the mothballed units given the 90% utilization for the industry. If the demand grows 10% next year, if one were to assume that, would that require the industry to be really activating these mothballed units? I mean, if we knew that the new starts were going to grow 10%? Because it seems as though that would put the utilization rate for the industry really into that mid-90% where the industry always had to go into new lines, reactivating the mothballed, or you'll have to go into an allocation mode. Is that the wrong math? Or can you express that and what you meant by the bulk of available capacity in the industry? Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Yeah. I think generally that was – what you said is consistent with the way we laid out our view of the industry at our Investor Day last year and the way we talk through some of our investor materials that are posted out on our website. What has happened historically is that all of the existing lines in the operating facilities tend to get turned on to meet demand. The other thing manufacturers can do is run full out the full year so that you produce inventories in the first half that then get depleted in the second half so that you can increase your effective monthly capacity in the second half of the year when demand is higher. And then when you run up against real bottlenecks, where you run up against capacity, historically I would say that that's typically a time other building material product lines are also running up against bottlenecks and the pace of construction and the cycle of housing from start to completion tends to extend a little bit because bottlenecks start to appear in the system, insulation being one of them. If you look through the last cycle, in fact, some of these plants that were mothballed were operating at the peak of the last cycle. Our view, the way we've characterized those plants at least in the Owens Corning network, is similar to how the utility industry would talk about a peaker. They tend to be relatively high cost plants, difficult to bring up and you have to believe that you've got high levels of profitability that will sustain for at least some period of time to make it worth the effort to put capital into those facilities and put a team in place to get the plant up and running. So we would expect the industry would probably run up against bottlenecks for a period of time before you'd see any of the mothball capacity come on.

Okay. And then relative to the India capacity, which is probably about similar size to, I believe, your Chinese plant that you opened up three years or four years ago. Could you – given that China designed for the win, just left off (35:44), you've obviously rebooted where that volume goes now, can you talk about how you're framing the risk to reward of this investment in India? Adding a lot of capacity, obviously, you have a very strong position there. But how can we think about those risks to rewards being appropriately measured given what happened in China in terms of the end demand product mix shifting? Thank you very much. Michael C. McMurray - Chief Financial Officer & Senior Vice President: Yeah. Ken, it's Michael. I would have you think about the investment that we're making in India as really a network decision versus purely as India for India. Clearly, as I highlighted in my prepared remarks, we have a very strong position in India. It has grown significantly over the past decade and is expected to continue to grow. And we certainly want to maintain our strong position in India. But again, I would think of it as a network decision. Some of these volumes can and will be exported to other countries in the world.

The next question comes from Michael Rehaut with JPMorgan. Please go ahead.

Michael Jason Rehaut - JPMorgan Securities LLC

Analyst · JPMorgan. Please go ahead.

Hi. Thanks. Good morning and thanks for taking my question. First, I just wanted to hit on the Roofing performance, and congrats on that, obviously. Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Thank you.

Michael Jason Rehaut - JPMorgan Securities LLC

Analyst · JPMorgan. Please go ahead.

I think over the last quarter or two, it's certainly been a little bit of a source of upside to say the least, and in terms of taking that into account and thinking about the outlook for the back-half, where would you expect potential upside to come from? You said that essentially your cost deflation on asphalt, you're effectively perhaps anniversarying the benefits there. Therefore, would you expect it to be coming more from volume or perhaps a little bit better realization of the price increases that have been put out there? Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Sure. This is Mike. I mean, let me just start with – Roofing has really come a long way in the last 18 months. If you remember back to the first half of 2015, we were coming out of a 2014 that had been very challenging. We had pretty compressed margins in the first half of last year and we were hoping to have more balanced demand and allow asphalt deflation to improve our margins through the course of 2015. And that's in fact what happened. So if you look out 2015, while the first half results we were kind of working our way back towards what were attractive margins in the second half of 2015, we really had a very, very good second half last year. So the comp that we're heading up against is a comp that we're very proud of and a business that performed at a very high level. I think if you then look at how that played out this year, we carried those very good margins over into the first half. We had good first quarter volumes that were consistent with what we thought was selling through. We didn't have the big…

Michael Jason Rehaut - JPMorgan Securities LLC

Analyst · JPMorgan. Please go ahead.

Okay. Thanks, Mike. I appreciate that. And so just to be clear before I hit the second question, to the extent that volume trends and pricing trends continue, it does sound like perhaps there could be a little bit of upside, but obviously still a lot of work – a lot to go through December, correct? Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Yeah, I think – I mean, the big – this one area I'd reiterate would be volume. We would say that for overall growth for the full year of around 10%, that low-double digit type number, that would imply the market is down in the second half. If you had a different view than that or thought the market was going to be more vibrant, you'd probably be more bullish than what we've talked about today.

Michael Jason Rehaut - JPMorgan Securities LLC

Analyst · JPMorgan. Please go ahead.

Okay. Just on – and the second question on Composites and specifically, Europe, obviously, a lot of noise around the recent Brexit news and concerns around U.K. and Europe. I was hoping just to get a little detail around how Europe has trended in the Composites business, let's say, first half and even second quarter year-over-year from a volume or revenue growth perspective, what the expectations are perhaps for the back-half, and if you've seen any change in trend – obviously very early on, but if you've seen any change in trend over the last month? Michael C. McMurray - Chief Financial Officer & Senior Vice President: Yeah, thanks, Mike. It's Michael. And just for clarity, we have de minimis exposure to the U.K. So I want to be clear about that. What I'd frame for Europe overall, so as I said previously, last year probably surprised us to a bit the upside, predominantly, as a result of commercial execution but the market was good. In the first half of this year, the market has continued to grow and is fairly positive. And thus far we haven't seen any negative implications from Brexit. But we're clearly watching.

Philip Ng - Jefferies LLC

Analyst · Jefferies. Please go ahead.

Hey, guys. Do you have a sense if there was any pre-buy or – and how inventory levels are shaking out at the distributor level for Roofing in 2Q? And historically, have you seen, after big storms, do volumes usually taper off right after the quarter, or do you see some follow-through? Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Yeah. It's a really good question, Philip. And we've spent a lot of time thinking about and analyzing that question. Typically, in the storm areas, the initial bottleneck is the manufacturer's ability to keep up with demand. So what you see when you have a spring storm season is, the affected regions are trying to pull on as much production and as much manufacturer inventory as they can get their hands on, typically because they go to work very, very quickly and a lot of roofs are getting done. So we saw early in the quarter a surge in buying from the affected storm areas. In fact, that surge was so significant that we began to support the Southwest primarily from other facilities as far away as the Midwest and the West Coast. So we began to get tight in other parts of the country because of the support that we were offering to the storm related areas in order to keep them going. That typically then does affect the distributors or the channels in those areas who are concerned about their ability to get product and will maybe buy a little bit ahead and build up their inventory positions in order to ensure availability of product for themselves so that all the product doesn't end up coming out of region and going into the storm regions. Our sense would be that maybe some of the non-storm regions carried a bit of inventory at the end of the second quarter or carried a bit of inventory out of the second quarter and that the storm regions are probably operating today at a rate consistent with their ability to do jobs on the job site. So it's not that they worked their way through all the storm demand, but that the bottleneck today would be contracting crews and re-roof crews to go get the work done. So we think we're at an equilibrium in some of the storm areas. We think some of the other areas outside of the storm areas are continuing to see growth from new construction. They're continuing to see growth in re-roof but that they will probably slow down a little bit relative to where they were in the second quarter, just because of their confidence and availability of supply.

Okay. That's very helpful color. And I guess the question for Michael. It's good to see the cash flow coming through really strong. Now that your agreement with Ahlstrom has been canceled, should we expect buybacks to pick up a little more this year, just because initially you obviously had two bolt-on acquisitions? Thanks. Michael C. McMurray - Chief Financial Officer & Senior Vice President: Yeah. Thanks for the question. Listen, we've been fairly active in the first half of the year. I think you heard in my prepared remarks that looking forward, both our dividend and repurchases are going to play important parts, maybe just a couple of quick fun facts, since emergence (44:46), we've repurchased 23 million shares, almost $0.75 billion year-to-date, just under 100 million of repurchase. So I think as we look forward, you can expect us to operate in the way we have in the past. And then clearly, in my prepared remarks, you heard that our outlook for free cash flow both this year and in the next couple is actually pretty bullish.

The next question comes from Kathryn Thompson with Thompson Research. Please go ahead.

Kathryn Ingram Thompson - Thompson Research Group LLC

Analyst · Thompson Research. Please go ahead.

Hi. Thanks for taking my questions today. The first really focuses on the dynamic of lower energy costs benefit. Obviously, a lot of focus on the Roofing side, but lower natural gas is then – I show that a tailwind for both your Insulation, Composites businesses from a production standpoint. First, how much do you estimate lower energy costs benefited Insulation, Composites, and as these inputs are effectively bottoming out now for the company as a whole, what are your expected deflation benefit in the second half? Thank you. Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Thanks, Kathryn. We have seen some deflation really over the last couple years as – in particular, natural gas has been very inexpensive in the U.S. So as you go outside of the U.S., you've still got regulated markets and markets don't nearly have the energy advantage of the U.S. So I think for the natural gas buy in the U.S., we've seen some sequential deflation over the last couple of years. Obviously, we buy a lot of electricity as well, (46:24) electricity markets are both regulated and de-regulated but don't move nearly as quickly as natural gas. So as a result of that, the portion of our buy that really swings a lot in terms of natural gas prices at today's prices has become a relatively low number. So while we may see some moves in terms of percentages of the total number of dollars of savings or deflation we get from natural gas today is still relatively low and I would say it's not really material to our outlook.

Kathryn Ingram Thompson - Thompson Research Group LLC

Analyst · Thompson Research. Please go ahead.

Okay. Perfect. And then moving to your Roofing segment just – you were able to obviously back into with the implied margins that are for the full year for InterWrap, but maybe a little bit, are there any differences from a seasonal standpoint that we should take into consideration on a quarter-by-quarter basis for the margins. And then once again on Roofing, any color that you are willing to give regarding pre-buy trends going into the August increase? Thank you. Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Okay. Related to InterWrap, I mean, we are still obviously learning the business. So our view at this point is that we should expect to see InterWrap generally mirror the cycle of Roofing. So in quarters where you have strong Roofing demand, we'd expect to see a little bit better performance in that business and when things slow down at the end of the year, we'd expect to see that business slow down consistent with the shingle business. So from a margin point of view and a revenue point of view, we would expect that we'll pretty much follow our Roofing business.

The next question comes from Alex Rygiel with FBR. Please go ahead. Alex J. Rygiel - FBR Capital Markets & Co.: Thank you for taking my question. Mike, I was a little confused with your commentary about the CapEx plan over the next couple of years as that compared to sort of your projections a year ago at the Analyst Meeting. And also your commentary about the rebuild CapEx plan having a savings of $120 million. So could you kind of circle back and compare the view today of CapEx over the next handful of years versus a year ago, and then I have a follow-up. Michael C. McMurray - Chief Financial Officer & Senior Vice President: Yeah. Sure. It actually wasn't a year ago. It was last November just for clarity at our Investor Day in Atlanta. And so we gave an outlook over the next three years. So again, 2016 to 2018 of 100% of D&A, based on approved growth CapEx at that point in time. So it didn't factor in the India investment but it would have factored in our outlook for lower rebuilds in 2017 and beyond. And so with the new India investment, we're going to track slightly above that guidance with that 110% number in our outlook now but we'll still continue to track below 110% for the three-year period. So we'll be above that this year clearly and then we'll trend down overall in 2017 and 2018, so below 110% for three-year average. Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: And this is Mike. Just to add a little bit of color to Michael's comments.

Analyst · RBC. Please go ahead.

Hey. Good morning. Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Good morning, Bob.

Robert Wetenhall - RBC Capital Markets LLC

Analyst · RBC. Please go ahead.

I am confused, because I thought you guys had some nice numbers and your stock is off 4%, and I wonder if people understand the guidance, and I think maybe I got my math wrong, so I was hoping you could help me out. Through the first half of the year, OC has delivered $370 million in operating income or EBIT, and your guidance for $700 million or better for the full-year would imply $330 million in the back half. And I know that out of the gate you already have another $10 million from InterWrap, and it sounds like based on Mike's commentary that shipments have been really good in July, and there's the prospect of another price increase, and even if you take some puts and takes, or some weakness in the Insulation business, you are still guiding towards a flat margin on lower sales. And so, that to me would suggest the $700 million number is highly conservative, and there's a lot of potential upside, especially because you are managing the businesses to drive the best incrementals. So am I missing something here? Or what's the right way to think about this? Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Well, Bob, I think that was a wonderful summary of what we would want the market to believe. But in all seriousness, I think we're probably a bit more conservative than that, primarily related to Roofing. Roofing was up – we do have InterWrap in the second half. We've got a great outlook for the second half. And we think we're comping against a really stellar second half last year, but we were also up 35% in the second quarter. So we'd be a little bit reluctant, coming out of a good first quarter where the market was up double digits, a second quarter that contributed to a market being up overall more than 20%, to take the first half numbers and kind of double them as the starting point to look to the second half. So as we roll forward our Roofing business, we're seeing that, and I think Michael said it in his comments, we expect volumes to be flat to slightly down, and we'd expect margin rates to be pretty similar to last year based on what we know today. Obviously, InterWrap's going to contribute in a way that we didn't have last year, so we'll get a little bit of revenue from InterWrap that will offset some of the decline in revenue we might see if volumes go negative in the second half. And then the rest of the pieces, we've been pretty explicit about what we think Composites will do and pretty explicit about what Insulation will do. So I think the market right now is probably trying to sort out their own view of what Roofing's second half and outlook looks like.

Robert Wetenhall - RBC Capital Markets LLC

Analyst · RBC. Please go ahead.

So, with that being said then, and usually your third quarter is your peak quarter in terms of EBIT generation, should we think that 3Q is going to be up? And then EBIT will decline in the fourth quarter, but on a year-over-year basis, they will be the same, or is there going to be a shift in EBIT in 3Q and 4Q? So the two quarters will have flat EBIT to get to that $330 million number. I'm just trying to understand how what happened in 2Q is going to affect EBIT performance in each of the next two quarters, you've obviously guided to a $330 million number, so how should we think about that? Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Obviously, we don't give quarterly guidance. Our view on guidance is at the mid-year mark, which is where we are, to give full year corporate guidance for Owens Corning. So it's a little bit hard for me to give you much more than what we've already given you. I would say just again coming back to Roofing, we were very happy with Roofing's fourth quarter last year. So we saw really strong volumes through the end of the year. So I'm not even sure as we get to the end of the third quarter that we'll have a complete view on how we think Owens Corning will perform in 2016 because there will still be a significant piece of our business that generates a lot of cash flow and a lot of EBIT for the company which will be subject to the vagaries of weather and other things at year-end. So I think the guidance we've given you is consistent with how we view the second half playing out, and we'll know more as we get later into the year.

The next question comes from Matt McCall with TBN Capital Markets (sic) [BB&T Capital Markets]. Please go ahead. Reuben Garner - BB&T Capital Markets: Good morning. This is Reuben Garner on for Matt. So I just want to follow up on a question from earlier. You mentioned you thought that there was some roofing inventory, a little bit in the channel exiting the quarter. Can you talk about product availability on your end, maybe what the lead times are? I think you've said something about adjusting plants to match demand. Was that a backwards-looking comment, that's what you had to do in the second quarter, or is that a forward-looking comment? Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Well, we were ramping demand through the entire second quarter. So we were bringing on shifts. We were running a lot of overtime. Our supply chain team did a really spectacular job getting asphalt and other raw materials in order to be able to get our production to ramp up. And through the quarter, we ramped production but still liquidated inventories, and production did not match demand in the second quarter. We got a little bit behind. We actually had some areas of the country where we had extended cycles in terms of deliveries. We could confirm deliveries, but we would confirm them on a longer delivery cycle than what our customers desired. That was not unique to Owens Corning. We saw some of that as well competitively. So, the industry got very tight. I think today we're probably pretty well matched to where we see demand, so we're catching up. We'd actually like to build up our inventories a little bit, they are below the levels we need in order to be able to service the market effectively.…

This concludes our question-and-answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Thierry Denis for any close remarks.

Thierry J. Denis - Vice President-Investor Relations

Management

Very good. Thank you, everyone, for joining us for today's call. And with that, I'll turn it back over to Mike Thaman for closing comments. Michael H. Thaman - Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer: Well, thank you, Thierry. Thank you, everyone, for joining us on today's call. We always appreciate your interest in Owens Corning and your continued support. I think the key themes from our call today is we believe our teams are executing very well. We're proud of the results we've produced in the second quarter. We're proud of what the Owens Corning team was able to get done. We think our markets today are pretty favorable in terms of growth. At a minimum, in some of the markets where we've seen good, stable predictable demand and then in some of the markets like Roofing and then new construction we're seeing nice year-on-year growth that we think continues to fuel market conditions that are advantageous to our company. We have a strong outlook for the remainder of the year. We believe that we'll deliver $700 million of EBIT or more which is well and above the all-time record. So if you look at the footprint of Owens Corning today, this set of assets at one point in time probably delivered EBIT results that were 15% or 20% below where we're currently suggesting we'll produce in 2016. And so we're very proud of the progress we're making and we don't think that it's a 2016 phenomenon. Most of the things we talked about today in terms of positives that will help the earnings power growth and top line of our businesses or macro trends that we believe will carry on into 2017 and beyond. So we feel good about where we are. Feel good about our cash flow position and are excited to see what kind of results we can put up for the remainder of the year. So we look forward to talking with all of you again on our third quarter call in October. Thank you.
