Investor Day 2025 summary
25 Aug, 2026Strategic transformation and business focus
Shifted to a focused building products company in North America and Europe, emphasizing high-value segments: roofing, insulation, and doors.
Exited commoditized and non-core businesses, including glass reinforcements and certain international operations, to sharpen market focus.
Leveraged strategic acquisitions, notably Masonite, to expand into doors and complement existing product lines.
Enhanced operational efficiency through network optimization, process innovation, and disciplined capital allocation.
Built a resilient portfolio with over half of revenue from repair/remodel and non-discretionary categories.
Financial performance and guidance
Achieved 9% average annual revenue growth since 2021, with 4% organic CAGR and the remainder from acquisitions.
Expanded adjusted EBIT margin by nearly 500 basis points and maintained CapEx at 5% of sales.
Delivered 19 consecutive quarters of 20%+ EBITDA margins and returned 63% of free cash flow to shareholders from 2022–2024.
Set new targets: $12.5B revenue, mid-20s EBITDA margins, $5B free cash flow, and mid-teens returns on capital by 2028.
Committed to returning $2B to shareholders via dividends and buybacks in 2025–2026, representing 100% of expected free cash flow.
Segment strategies and growth drivers
Roofing: Focused on non-discretionary re-roofing, contractor engagement, and system selling; raising long-term EBITDA margin guidance to 30%.
Insulation: Shifted mix toward non-residential and European markets, improved cost structure, and raised EBITDA margin guidance to 24%.
Doors: Integrated Masonite, captured 70% of $125M synergy target in year one, identified $75M additional cost savings, and targeting 20% EBITDA margins.
All segments leverage the OC advantage: iconic brand, commercial strength, technology leadership, and cost position.
Investments in capacity, automation, and digital tools to support above-market organic growth and margin sustainability.
