All notices to the Corporation required or permitted by the Bylaws may be addressed to the principal office of the Corporation and shall be marked to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation unless otherwise provided herein.
ARTICLE II
Shareholders' Meetings
SECTION 1. Annual Meetings of Shareholders. An annual meeting of shareholders shall be held in each year on such date and at such time as may be set by the Board (or by an officer of the Corporation authorized to do so by the Board) for the purpose of electing directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting.
SECTION 2. Special Meetings of Shareholders. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Board (or by an officer of the Corporation authorized to do so by the Board). A special meeting of the shareholders may also be called by the holders of at least 20% of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast at the particular meeting. In addition, a special meeting of the holders of Preferred Shares or any series thereof for the purpose of electing directors who may be elected by such holders or taking any other action that such holders may take, as provided by the Articles, may be called as provided in the Articles. At any time, upon written request of any person or persons entitled to call and who have duly called a special meeting, it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Corporation to set the date of the meeting, if such date has not been set by the Board, on a day not more than sixty days after the receipt of the request, and to give due notice of such meeting to the shareholders. If the Secretary of the Corporation shall neglect or refuse to set the date of the meeting and give notice thereof, the person or persons calling the meeting may do so. For purposes of this Article II, Section 2, a request shall be deemed given by a requesting shareholder(s) at such time as (i) the requesting shareholder(s) shall have delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation documentation that demonstrates that such requesting shareholder(s) is the holder of at least 20% of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast at the particular meeting and (ii) the Secretary of the Corporation shall have had a period of 15 days following receipt of such documentation (or such lesser period as the Secretary of the Corporation determines is sufficient) to review and establish, to the Secretary of the Corporation's reasonable satisfaction, the adequacy thereof. Not later than 15 days following receipt by the Secretary of the Corporation of the information described in the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall advise the shareholder(s) of any deficiencies in such information. The requesting
shareholder(s) may cure such deficiencies within 15 days after receipt of such advice from the Secretary of the Corporation, failing which the request shall be deemed invalid.
SECTION 3. Place and Notice of Meetings of Shareholders. All meetings of shareholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation unless the Board (or an officer of the Corporation authorized to do so by the Board) shall decide otherwise, in which case such meetings may be held at such location within or without the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as the Board may from time to time direct. The Board, in its sole discretion (or an officer of the Corporation authorized to do so by the Board, in his or her sole discretion) may determine that any meeting of shareholders be held solely by means of the Internet or other electronic communications technology in a manner pursuant to which shareholders have the opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with their occurrence, vote on matters submitted to the shareholders, pose questions to the directors of the Corporation, make appropriate motions and comment on the business of the meeting. Written notice of the place, day, and hour of all meetings of shareholders and, in the case of a special meeting, of the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting, shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the particular meeting either personally or by sending a copy of the notice through the mail or by overnight courier to the address of the shareholder appearing on the books of the Corporation or supplied by such shareholder to the Corporation for the purpose of notice or by other means including electronic means permitted by law. Except as otherwise provided by the Bylaws or by law, such notice shall be given at least 10 days before the date of the meeting by the President, Vice President, or Secretary of the Corporation. A waiver in writing of any written notice required to be given, signed by the person entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Attendance of a person, either in person or by proxy, at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.
SECTION 4. Nominations by Shareholders of Candidates for Election as Directors. In addition to the nomination by the Board of candidates for election to the Board as hereinafter provided, candidates may be nominated by any shareholder of the Corporation entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any meeting called for the election of directors. The number of nominations by such shareholder shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected at such meeting. Nominations, other than those made by or on behalf of the Board, shall be made in writing and shall be received by the Secretary of the Corporation (i) with respect to an election of directors to be held at an annual meeting of shareholders, not later than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders (provided that, if the date of the annual meeting of shareholders is more than 30 days before or after the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders, the shareholder nomination shall be received within 15 days after the public announcement by the Corporation of the date of the annual meeting of shareholders), and (ii), with respect to an election of directors to be held at a special meeting of shareholders, not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to shareholders or public disclosure of the meeting is first made, whichever is earlier. Such nomination shall contain the following information to the extent known to the notifying shareholder:
(a)the name, age, business address, and residence address of each proposed nominee and of the notifying shareholder;
(b)the principal occupation of each proposed nominee;
(c)a representation that the notifying shareholder intends to appear in person or by
proxy at the meeting to nominate the proposed nominee or nominees specified in the notice;
(d)the class and total number of shares of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by the notifying shareholder and by the proposed nominee and, if such shares are not owned solely and directly by the notifying shareholder and the proposed nominee and any of their respective affiliates, the manner of beneficial ownership;
(e)whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of each proposed nominee and of the notifying shareholder, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, with respect to stock of the Corporation;
(f)whether and the extent to which any other transaction, agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock of the Corporation) has been made by or on behalf of each proposed nominee and of the notifying shareholder, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk or benefit of stock price changes for, such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, with respect to stock of the Corporation;
(g)a description of all arrangements or understandings between the notifying shareholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the notifying shareholder;
(h)a description of all compensatory, payment or other financial agreements, arrangements or understandings between each proposed nominee and any person or entity other than the Corporation in connection with or related to the Corporation;
(i) each proposed nominee’s written representation and agreement that such proposed nominee (A) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question, (B) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director of the Corporation that has not been disclosed to the Corporation in such representation and agreement, (C) in such person’s individual capacity, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with, all applicable publicly disclosed confidentiality, corporate governance, conflict of interest, Regulation FD, code of conduct and ethics, and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation, and (D) in his or her capacity as a director of the Corporation, if so elected, has a fiduciary duty solely to the Corporation under Pennsylvania law and affirmatively is committed personally to such duty;
(j)a representation that the notifying shareholder and/or beneficial owner that intends to solicit proxies in support of proposed nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees will, to the extent any such proxies are solicited, (i) solicit proxies from the
holders of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock representing at least 67% of the voting power of shares of capital stock entitled to vote on the election of directors, (ii) include a statement to that effect in its proxy statement and/or the form of proxy, (iii) otherwise comply with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act and (iv) provide the Secretary of the Corporation not less than 5 days prior to the meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, with reasonable documentary evidence (as determined by the Secretary of the Corporation in good faith) that such notifying shareholder and/or beneficial owner complied with such representations;
(k) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such shareholder as would be required to be included in any proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act had the nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, by the Board; and
(l)the consent of each nominee to being named in any proxy statement for the applicable meeting as a nominee and serving as a director of the Corporation if so elected.
The Corporation may request any such proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the qualifications of the proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. Within 15 days following the receipt by the Secretary of the Corporation of a shareholder notice of nomination pursuant hereto, the nominating, governance and social responsibility committee shall instruct the Secretary of the Corporation to advise the notifying shareholder of any deficiencies in the notice as determined by the Committee. The notifying shareholder shall cure such deficiencies within 15 days after receipt of such advice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a notifying shareholder and/or beneficial owner that intends to solicit proxies in support of proposed nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees no longer intends to solicit proxies in accordance with its representation pursuant to subclause (j) of Article II, Section 4 of these Bylaws, such notifying shareholder and/or beneficial owner shall inform the Corporation of this change by delivering a writing to the Secretary of the Corporation no later than 2 business days after the occurrence of such change. No persons shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the Bylaws. Nominations not made in accordance with the Bylaws may, in the discretion of the presiding officer at the meeting and with the advice of the nominating, governance and social responsibility committee of the Board, be disregarded by the presiding officer and, upon his or her instructions, all votes cast for each such nominee may be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation; the determinations of the presiding officer at the meeting with respect to such matters shall be conclusive and binding upon all shareholders of the Corporation for all purposes.
SECTION 5. Advance Notice of Other Matters to be Presented by Shareholders. At any annual meeting or special meeting of shareholders, only such business as is properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this paragraph may be transacted. To be properly brought before any meeting, any proposed business must be either (a) specified in the notice of the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board, or (c) if brought before the meeting by a shareholder, then written notification of such proposed business must have been received by the Secretary of the Corporation from a shareholder of record on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting (i), with respect to business to be proposed at an annual meeting of shareholders, not later than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders (provided, that, if the date of the annual
meeting of shareholders is more than 30 days before or after the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders, the notification must have been received within 15 days after the public announcement by the Corporation of the date of the annual meeting of shareholders) and (ii) with respect to business to be proposed at a special meeting of shareholders, not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to shareholders or public disclosure of the meeting is made, whichever is earlier. Such shareholder notification shall set forth the nature of and reasons for the proposal in reasonable detail, and shall include the proposed text of any proposal regarding such business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, if such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the text of the proposed amendment), and the reasons for conducting such business at the special meeting, and, as to the shareholder giving notification, and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is being made,
(1)the name and address of such persons;
(2)the class and series of all shares of the Corporation that are beneficially owned of record by such persons and any affiliates or associates of such persons;
(3)the name of each nominee holder of shares of all stock of the Corporation owned beneficially but not of record by such persons or any affiliates or associates of such persons, and the number of such shares of stock of the Corporation held by each such nominee holder;
(4)whether and the extent to which any derivative instrument, swap, option, warrant, short interest, hedge or profit interest or other transaction has been entered into by or on behalf of such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, with respect to stock of the Corporation;
(5)whether and the extent to which any other transaction, agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock of the Corporation) has been made by or on behalf of such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, the effect or intent of any of the foregoing being to mitigate loss to, or to manage risk or benefit of stock price changes for, such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, or to increase or decrease the voting power or pecuniary or economic interest of such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, with respect to stock of the Corporation;
(6)a description of all agreements, arrangements, or understandings (whether written or oral) between or among such persons, or any affiliates or associates of such persons, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with or relating to (A) the Corporation or (B) the proposal, including any material interest in, or anticipated benefit from the proposal to such person, or any affiliates or associates of such persons;
(7)a representation that the shareholder giving notice intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual or special meeting to bring such business before such meeting; and
(8)any other information relating to such persons that would be required to be disclosed in any proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with the
solicitation of proxies by such persons with respect to the proposed business to be brought by such persons before an annual meeting pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Within 15 days following receipt by the Secretary of the Corporation of a shareholder notification of proposed business pursuant hereto, the Corporation shall advise the shareholder of any deficiencies in the notification. The notifying shareholder may cure such deficiencies within 15 days after receipt of such advice, failing which the shareholder's notification shall be deemed invalid.
SECTION 6. Quorum for Shareholder Meetings. At any meeting of the shareholders, the presence, in person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes which all shareholders are entitled to cast upon a matter shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business upon such matter, and the shareholders present at a duly organized meeting can continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum. If a meeting cannot be organized because a quorum has not attended, those present may, except as otherwise provided by law, adjourn the meeting to such time and place as they may determine, but in the case of any meeting called for the election of directors, those who attend the second of such adjourned meetings, although less than a quorum, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing directors.
SECTION 7. Votes Per Share. Except as otherwise provided in the Articles or by law, every shareholder of record shall have the right, at every shareholders' meeting, to one vote for every share standing in his name on the books of the Corporation. Except as may be explicitly provided for by the Articles with respect to the election of one or more directors by holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock, in the election of directors shareholders shall be entitled to cast for any candidate for election as a director only one vote per share and shall not be entitled to cumulate their votes and cast them for one candidate or distribute them among any two or more candidates.
SECTION 8. Proxies.
(a)Every shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. A proxy may be submitted to the Secretary of the Corporation by a shareholder in writing, by telephone, electronically or any other means permitted by law.
(b)In the event the Corporation receives proxies for disqualified or withdrawn nominees for the Board, such votes for such disqualified or withdrawn nominees in the proxies will be treated as abstentions.
(c)Any shareholder directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other shareholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board.
SECTION 9. Required Vote for Shareholder Action. Except in respect of the election of directors (as to which a plurality vote shall be required) and subject to Section 11 of this Article II, all questions submitted to the shareholders and all actions by the shareholders shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the shareholders present, in person or by proxy, entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes which all shareholders present are entitled to vote on the matter, unless otherwise provided by the Articles, the Bylaws or by law. For purposes of this section, in the event that a holder of shares of a class or series that is entitled to vote on a matter is present in person or by proxy at a meeting but is not permitted by reason of a legal disability or by a contractual restriction or otherwise to vote the shares
such holder holds on such matter, the shares held by such holder and not so permitted to be voted shall nevertheless be considered entitled to vote and present for purposes of determining the number of votes required for shareholder action.
SECTION 10. Ballots; Judges of Election. Elections for directors need not be by ballot except on demand made by a shareholder at the election and before the voting begins. In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the Board may appoint judges of election who need not be shareholders to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, and if such appointment is not made, the chair of any such meeting may, and on request of any shareholder or his proxy shall, make such appointment at the meeting. The number of judges shall be one or three and, if appointed at a meeting on request of one or more shareholders or their proxies, the majority of the shares present and entitled to vote shall determine whether one or three judges are to be appointed. No person who is a candidate for office shall act as a judge. In case any person appointed as judge fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the Board in advance of the convening of the meeting or at the meeting by the person or officer acting as chair of the meeting. On request of the chair of the meeting or of any shareholder or his proxy, the judges shall make a report in writing of any challenge or question or matter determined by them and execute a certificate of any fact found by them.
SECTION 11. Action Without a Meeting.
(a)To the fullest extent and in the manner permitted by law, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders or of a class or series of shareholders may be taken without a meeting of the shareholders or of such class or series of shareholders upon the consent in writing signed by such shareholders who would have been entitled to vote the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize the action at a meeting at which all the shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voting. The consents shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation.
(b)In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which date shall not be more than 30 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. Any shareholder of record seeking to have the shareholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation, request the Board to fix a record date. The Board shall promptly, but in all events within 30 days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date and the record as so established by the Board shall not be less than 15 days nor more than 30 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. If no record date has been fixed by the Board within 30 days of the date on which such a request is received, subject to the shareholder's compliance with Article II, Section 11(c), the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is required by applicable law, shall be the close of business on the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of the shareholders are recorded, to the attention of the Secretary of the Corporation. Delivery made to the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board and prior action by the Board is required by applicable law, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

(i)for any responsibility or liability of such director pursuant to any criminal statute, or
(ii)for any liability of a director for the payment of taxes pursuant to local, state or federal law.

(i)is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or
(ii)while a director or officer of the Corporation, either
(A)serves or served as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee, employee or agent of any subsidiary of the Corporation or other related enterprise at the request of the Corporation or in connection with a related employee benefit plan of the Corporation, any subsidiary of the Corporation or any such enterprise,

A resolution or other action by the Corporation or subsidiary electing, nominating or proposing a person to a position referred to in this subsection 2(a) shall constitute a specific written request of the Corporation sufficient for the purposes of this Section. Upon written request of a person claiming to be entitled to indemnification hereunder and specifying the expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement against which indemnity is sought, the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within 90 days of its receipt of such request, make a determination, in such manner as is required by law, as to the entitlement of such person to indemnification against such expenses as provided by this subsection 2(a). Such a determination, however, shall not be conclusive as to such person's entitlement to indemnification pursuant to this subsection 2(a) and such person may seek to enforce an
entitlement to indemnification pursuant to this subsection 2(a) by appropriate proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction by showing that, notwithstanding such determination, such person satisfied the standard of conduct required by law to be satisfied in order for such person to be entitled to indemnification from the Corporation as permitted by law.

(c)Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, upon authorization by the Board, the President or any other officer designated by the Board, indemnify, or agree to indemnify, and advance expenses to any person who is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation to the same extent (or any lesser extent) to which it may indemnify and advance expenses to a director or officer of the Corporation in accordance with subsection 2(b) above.

* The Company uses non-GAAP adjusted measures in managing the business and believes the adjustments provide meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and are useful alternative measures of performance. Reconciliations of the most comparable generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") measure are found in the tables at the end of this press release. Excluding per share data, non-GAAP figures are rounded to the nearest million and corresponding percentages are rounded to the nearest decimal.
Second-quarter 2024 consolidated net sales increased 12.2% from prior-year results, driven by higher volumes of $27 million and favorable Average Unit Value (dollars per unit sold, or "AUV") of $13 million. Architectural Specialties net sales increased $24 million and Mineral Fiber net sales increased $16 million. Architectural Specialties segment net sales improved primarily from a $20 million contribution from our April 2024 acquisition of 3form, LLC ("3form")
and our October 2023 acquisition of BOK Modern, LLC ("BOK"). The increase in Mineral Fiber net sales was primarily driven by favorable AUV and, to a lesser extent, higher sales volumes.
Consolidated operating income increased 9.2% in the second quarter of 2024 primarily due a $17 million margin benefit from higher sales volumes and a $9 million benefit from favorable AUV. These benefits were partially offset by an $18 million increase in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses due to the impact of acquisitions and an increase in Mineral Fiber SG&A expenses.

Mineral Fiber net sales increased 6.9% in the second quarter of 2024 due to $13 million of favorable AUV and $3 million of higher sales volumes. The improvement in AUV was driven primarily by favorable like-for-like price, with a modest contribution from favorable mix. The second quarter increase in volumes was primarily driven by stabilizing demand and the benefit from growth initiatives compared to the prior-year period.
Mineral Fiber operating income increased in the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to a $9 million benefit from favorable AUV, a $3 million decrease in manufacturing and input costs, a $2 million increase from higher sales volumes and a $2 million increase in WAVE equity earnings. These benefits were partially offset by a $9 million increase in SG&A expenses, driven primarily by $3 million of higher incentive compensation, an increase in employee costs due to inflationary pressures, accruals for environmental remediation matters and higher depreciation and amortization.

Second-quarter 2024 Architectural Specialties net sales increased 25.7% from prior-year results, driven primarily by a $20 million contribution 3form and BOK, and to a lesser extent, increased custom project net sales.
Architectural Specialties operating income increased in the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to a $14 million margin benefit from increased sales, driven primarily by the acquisitions of 3form and BOK, and partially due to improved project margins. This increase was partially offset by an $9 million increase in SG&A expenses, primarily due to the acquisitions of 3form and BOK as well as a $3 million increase in manufacturing costs. The decline in segment operating income margin was solely driven by the acquisitions of 3form and BOK.
Unallocated Corporate
Unallocated Corporate operating loss was $1 million in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023.
Cash Flow
Year to date cash flows from operating activities in 2024 decreased $10 million in comparison to the prior-year period, while cash flows from investing activities decreased $75 million versus the prior-year period. The change in operating cash flows was driven by higher cash earnings offset by unfavorable working capital changes, most notably timing-related changes in receivables, and an increase in cash paid for income taxes. The decrease in investing cash flows was primarily due to the acquisition of 3form, partially offset by lower purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Share Repurchase Program
During the second quarter of 2024, we repurchased 0.1 million shares of common stock for a total cost of $10 million, excluding the cost of commissions and taxes. As of June 30, 2024, there was $692 million remaining under the Board of Directors' current authorized share repurchase program**.
** In July 2016, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $150 million of our outstanding common stock through July 2018 (the “Program”). Pursuant to additional authorization and extensions of the Program approved by our Board of Directors, including $500 million authorized on July 18, 2023, we are authorized to purchase up to $1,700 million of our outstanding shares of common stock through December 2026. Since inception and through June 30, 2024, we have repurchased 14.4 million shares under the Program for a total cost of $1,008 million, excluding commissions and taxes.
Updating 2024 Outlook
“Given our solid second quarter performance and improved line of sight for the full year, we are increasing our guidance for all key metrics,” said Chris Calzaretta, AWI Senior Vice President and CFO. “We now expect operating conditions in the second half of the year to be similar to the first half. With this backdrop, we expect to expand Adjusted EBITDA margin at the total company level and we will continue our disciplined deployment of capital to create value for shareholders.”

Supplemental Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP Results (unaudited)
(Amounts in millions, except per share data)
To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company provides additional measures of performance adjusted to exclude the impact of certain discrete expenses and income including adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted diluted earnings per share ("EPS") and adjusted free cash flow. Investors should not consider non-GAAP measures as a substitute for GAAP measures. The Company excludes certain acquisition related expenses (i.e. – impact of adjustments related to the fair value of inventory, contingent third-party professional fees, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and deferred compensation accruals for acquisitions). The deferred compensation accruals were for cash and stock awards that are recorded over each award's respective vesting period, as such payments were subject to the sellers’ and employees’ continued employment with the Company. The Company also excludes all acquisition-related intangible amortization from adjusted net earnings and in calculations of adjusted diluted EPS. Examples of other excluded items have included plant closures, restructuring charges and related costs, impairments, separation costs and other cost reduction initiatives, environmental site expenses and environmental insurance recoveries, endowment level charitable contributions, the impact of defined benefit plan settlements, and certain other gains and losses. The Company also excludes income/expense from its U.S. Retirement Income Plan (“RIP”) in the non-GAAP results as it represents the actuarial net periodic benefit credit/cost recorded. For all periods presented, the Company was not required and did not make cash contributions to the RIP based on guidelines established by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, nor does the Company expect to make cash contributions to the plan in 2024. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as cash from operating and investing activities, adjusted to remove the impact of cash used or proceeds received for acquisitions and divestitures, environmental site expenses and environmental insurance recoveries. Management's adjusted free cash flow measure includes returns of investment from WAVE and cash proceeds received from the settlement of company-owned life insurance policies, which are presented within investing activities on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company uses these adjusted performance measures in managing the business, including communications with its Board of Directors and employees, and believes that they provide users of this financial information with meaningful comparisons of operating performance between current results and results in prior periods. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are appropriate to enhance understanding of its past performance, as well as prospects for its future performance. The Company also uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow (with further adjustments, when necessary) as factors in determining at-risk compensation for senior management. These non-GAAP measures may not be defined and calculated the same as similar measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures utilized by the Company may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of these adjustments to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in this release and on the Company’s website. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most comparable GAAP measures.
In the following charts, numbers may not sum due to rounding. Excluding adjusted diluted EPS, non-GAAP figures are rounded to the nearest million and corresponding percentages are rounded to the nearest percent based on unrounded figures.

Basis of Presentation Explanation The deferred compensation accruals were for cash and stock awards that are recorded over each awards’ respective vesting period, as such payments were subject to the sellers’ and employees’ continued employment with the Company. Results throughout this presentation are presented on a normalized basis. We remove the impact of certain discrete expenses and income in certain measures including adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) and adjusted free cash flow. The Company excludes certain acquisition related expenses (i.e. – impact of adjustments related to the fair value of inventory, contingent third-party professional fees, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration and deferred compensation accruals1 for acquisitions). The Company also excludes all acquisition-related amortization from adjusted net earnings and in calculations of adjusted diluted EPS. Examples of other excluded items have included plant closures, restructuring charges and related costs, impairments, separation costs and other cost reduction initiatives, environmental site expenses and environmental insurance recoveries, endowment level charitable contributions, the impact of defined benefit plan settlements, and certain other gains and losses. The Company also excludes income/expense from its U.S. Retirement Income Plan (“RIP”) in the non-GAAP results as it represents the actuarial net periodic benefit credit/cost recorded. For all periods presented, the Company was not required to and did not make cash contributions to the RIP based on guidelines established by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, nor does the Company expect to make cash contributions to the plan in 2024. Our tax rate may be adjusted for certain discrete items, which are identified in the footnotes. Investors should not consider non-GAAP measures as a substitute for GAAP measures. Excluding adjusted diluted EPS, non-GAAP figures are rounded to the nearest million and corresponding percentages are based on unrounded figures. Operating Segments: “MF”: Mineral Fiber, “AS”: Architectural Specialties, “UC”: Unallocated Corporate All dollar figures throughout the presentation are in $ millions, except per share data, and all comparisons are versus the applicable prior-year period unless otherwise noted. Figures may not sum due to rounding.
