2021 Full Year Results

“We ended 2021 with another quarter of strong top-line growth, capping off an exceptional year, with sales growth of 17 percent, adjusted operating profit growth of 11 percent, and adjusted earnings per share growth of 19 percent,” said Masco President and CEO, Keith Allman. “These results demonstrate the strength and resilience of our company and our employees, who delivered for our customers and shareholders despite supply chain challenges and inflation headwinds. We also executed on our commitment to return capital to shareholders over the course of year, with $1.2 billion returned in 2021 in dividends and share repurchases, including $205 million returned during the fourth quarter.”

”Looking ahead, we expect demand for our products to remain strong in 2022,” said Allman. “We believe we are well positioned to outperform the market with our industry leading portfolio of branded, lower ticket, repair and remodel-oriented products that serve both the do-it-yourself and professional markets, favorable housing fundamentals, and demonstrated executional excellence. In 2022, we anticipate that we will achieve margin expansion, and expect to deliver adjusted earnings per share in the range of $4.10 to $4.30 per share,” concluded Allman.

Dividend Declaration

Masco’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.28 per share, a 19 percent increase, payable on March 14, 2022 to shareholders of record on February 25, 2022.

“This dividend increase is consistent with our capital allocation strategy to target a dividend payout ratio of approximately 30 percent, and underscores the strength of our financial position, our ability to generate consistent, strong free cash flow, and the Board’s confidence in our future,” concluded Allman.
