NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. GENERAL

Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Owens Corning,” “Company,” “we” and “our” in this report refer to Owens Corning, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.

The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report are unaudited, pursuant to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, in the opinion of the Company, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods indicated, which, however, are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2020 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S."). In connection with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in this report, reference is made to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "2020 Form 10-K"). Certain reclassifications have been made to the periods presented for 2020 to conform to the classifications used in the periods presented for 2021.

Revenue Recognition

As of December 31, 2020, our contract liability balances (for extended warranties, down payments and deposits, collectively) totaled $66 million, of which $14 million was recognized as revenue in the first six months of 2021. As of June 30, 2021, our contract liability balances totaled $69 million.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

On the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the total of Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash includes restricted cash of $7 million as of June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Restricted cash primarily represents amounts received from a counterparty related to its performance assurance on an executory contract, which is included in Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts are contractually required to be set aside, and the counterparty can exchange the cash for another form of performance assurance at its discretion.

Related Party Transactions

In the first quarter of 2021, a related party relationship was established as a result of a member of the Company’s Board of Directors being named an executive officer of one of the Company’s preexisting suppliers. The related party transactions with this supplier consist of the purchase of raw materials. Purchases from the related party supplier were $27 million and $47 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, amounts due to the related party supplier were $7 million.

Leases

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a lease for a warehouse located near our manufacturing facility in Fort Smith, Arkansas that is expected to commence in 2022. The lease is for a to-be-constructed warehouse where the Company will serve as the construction agent for the landlord. At no point during the construction period will the Company control the underlying asset as defined in ASC 842 (Leases). This lease will result in finance lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities of approximately $35 million at the time of lease commencement.

Accounting Pronouncements

The following table summarizes recent ASU's issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that had an impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements:


Standard	Description	Effective Date for Company	Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements
Recently adopted standards:


ASU 2019-12 "Income Taxes (Topic 740)"	This standard simplifies accounting for income taxes including such topics as intraperiod tax allocations, franchise taxes and separate company financial statements.	January 1, 2021	The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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):

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company uses a combination of derivative financial instruments, which qualify as cash flow hedges, and physical contracts to manage forecasted exposure to electricity and natural gas prices. As of June 30, 2021, the notional amounts of these natural gas forward swaps was 2 million MMBtu (or MMBtu equivalent) based on European indices.

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 before the end of 2022. The Company intends to cash settle this agreement upon a future issuance of certain senior notes thereby effectively locking in the U.S. Treasury fixed interest rate in effect at the time the agreement was initiated. The locked fixed

4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

rate of this agreement is 0.994%. The Company has designated this outstanding forward U.S. Treasury rate lock agreement, which expires on December 15, 2022, as a cash flow hedge.

In June 2021, the Company entered into five currency forward contracts with unrelated counterparties totaling $26 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). The Company uses cross-currency forward contracts to hedge portions of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. As of June 30, 2021, the notional amount of these derivative financial instruments was $218 million related to the U.S. Dollar and European Euro. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company unwound certain net investment hedge contracts, resulting in cash proceeds of $30 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 June 30, 2021, the Company had notional amounts of $702 million for non-designated derivative financial instruments related to foreign currency exposures in U.S. Dollars primarily related to Brazilian Real, Chinese Yuan, European Euro, Hong Kong Dollar, Indian Rupee, and South Korean Won. In addition, the Company had notional amounts of $109 million for non-designated derivative financial instruments related to foreign currency exposures in European Euro primarily related to the Polish Zloty and Russian Ruble.

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 six months of 2021. The changes in the net carrying value of goodwill by segment are as follows (in millions):


	Composites		Insulation		Roofing		Total
Balance at December 31, 2020	$	57	$	532	$	400	$	989


Additions	3		—		—		3
Foreign Currency Translation	(1)		(5)		(1)		(7)
Balance at June 30, 2021	$	59	$	527	$	399	$	985

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company’s significant share price reduction during the COVID-19 pandemic was determined to be an indicator of impairment under ASC 350. The COVID-19 pandemic was expected to have a negative impact on results for the remainder of 2020 and create uncertainty in our markets. The narrow cushion on the Insulation reporting unit and the high level of macroeconomic uncertainty caused the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2020 over the Insulation reporting unit. After evaluating and weighing all relevant events and circumstances, and considering the substantial excess fair values for the Roofing and Composites reporting units, we concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of these reporting units were less than their carrying values. Consequently, we determined that it was not necessary to perform an interim impairment test for the Roofing and Composites reporting units.

Based on the results of this interim testing over the Insulation reporting unit, the Company recorded a $944 million pre-tax non-cash impairment charge in the first quarter of 2020. This charge was recorded in Goodwill impairment charge on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss), and was included in the Corporate, Other and Eliminations reporting category.

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.

Other intangible assets consist of the following (in millions):


	June 30, 2021						December 31, 2020
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount
Trademarks	$	1,104	$	—	$	1,104	$	1,109	$	—	$	1,109

5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)

In the first quarter of 2020, we performed an interim impairment test of certain indefinite-lived trademarks and trade names used by our Insulation segment, based on the macroeconomic conditions that precipitated the interim goodwill impairment test described above.

Based on the results of this testing, the Company recorded pre-tax non-cash impairment charges totaling $43 million in the first quarter of 2020 related to two of the Insulation trademarks and trade names. These charges were recorded in Other (income) expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss), and were included in the Corporate, Other and Eliminations reporting category.

Non-cash impairment charges included a pre-tax impairment charge of $34 million for a trade name used by our European building and technical insulation business, and a pre-tax impairment charge of $9 million related to a trademark used on global cellular glass insulation products.

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. A change in the estimated long-term revenue growth rate or increase in the discount rate assumption could increase the likelihood of a future impairment for this asset. The affected asset had a carrying value of $168 million as of June 30, 2021.

The estimated amortization expense for intangible assets for the next five years is as follows (in millions):


Period	Amortization
2022	$	45
2023	$	43
2024	$	39
2025	$	38
2026	$	38

	6,995		6,910
Accumulated depreciation	(3,204)		(3,101)

Machinery and equipment includes certain precious metals used in our production tooling, which comprise approximately 10% of total machinery and equipment as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. 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.

6. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)

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. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, these non-cash exchanges resulted in a net increase to Machinery and equipment of $21 million and $41 million, respectively, and gains totaling $21 million and $41 million, respectively, which are included in Other (income) expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) and are reflected in the Corporate, Other and Eliminations reporting category. These non-cash investing activities are not included in Net cash flow used for investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We do not expect these exchanges to materially impact our current or future capital expenditure requirements or rate of depletion.

7. WARRANTIES

The Company records a liability for warranty obligations at the date the related products are sold. Adjustments are made as new information becomes available. Please refer to Note 1 of our 2020 Form 10-K for information about our separately-priced extended warranty contracts. A reconciliation of the warranty liability is as follows (in millions):

8. RESTRUCTURING AND ACQUISITION-RELATED COSTS

The Company may incur restructuring, transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, and may incur restructuring costs in connection with its global cost reduction and productivity initiatives.

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 six months of 2021, the Company recorded $2 million of charges related to accelerated depreciation. The Company expects to recognize less than $3 million of incremental charges throughout 2021 related to these actions.

2020 Composites Restructuring Actions

During 2020, the Company took actions to reduce costs throughout its global Composites segment primarily through global workforce reductions, closure of manufacturing lines and other asset write-offs. The Company does not expect to recognize significant incremental costs related to these actions.

Acquisition-Related Restructuring

Following the acquisitions of Paroc Group Oy ("Paroc") and Pittsburgh Corning Corporation and Pittsburgh Corning Europe NV (collectively, "Pittsburgh Corning") into the Company's Insulation segment, the Company took actions to realize expected synergies from the newly acquired operations. The Company does not expect to recognize significant incremental costs related to these actions.

10. PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Pension Plans

The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans. Under the plans, pension benefits are based on an employee’s 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 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. 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.

The following table provides information regarding pension expense recognized (in millions):

The Company does not expect to contribute to the U.S. pension plans during 2021. The Company expects to contribute $25 million in cash to non-U.S. plans during 2021. The Company made cash contributions of $2 million to the plans during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Postemployment and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions ("OPEB")

The Company maintains healthcare and life insurance benefit plans for certain retired employees and their dependents. The health care plans in the United States are non-funded and pay either (1) stated percentages of covered medically necessary expenses, after subtracting payments by Medicare or other providers and after stated deductibles have been met, or (2) fixed amounts of medical expense reimbursement.

11. 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.

11. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS (continued)

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 June 30, 2021, the Company was involved with a total of 21 sites worldwide, including 8 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 has predicted the costs of remediation reasonably estimated to be paid over a period of years. The Company accrues an amount on an undiscounted basis, consistent with the reasonable estimates of these costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred. Actual cost may differ from these estimates for the reasons mentioned above. At June 30, 2021, the Company had an accrual totaling $4 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.

12. 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 June 30, 2021, the number of shares remaining available under the 2019 Stock Plan for all stock awards was approximately 3.1 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 (Loss) is as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	12	$	9	$	24	$	20

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 June 30, 2021, 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.

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity:


		Weighted-Average
	Number of Options	Exercise Price		Remaining Contractual Life (in years)	Intrinsic Value (in millions)
Outstanding, December 31, 2020	361,775	$	37.77	1.50	$	14

Exercised	(215,875)	37.42


Outstanding, June 30, 2021	145,900	$	38.30	1.34	$	9
Exercisable, June 30, 2021	145,900	$	38.30	1.34	$	9

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units

The Company has granted restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (collectively referred to as “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 three or four years. The Stock Plan allows alternate vesting schedules for death, disability, and retirement. The weighted average grant date fair value of RSUs granted in 2021 was $83.26.

The following table summarizes the Company’s RSU plans:



	Number of RSUs	Weighted-Average Fair Value
Balance at December 31, 2020	1,419,454	$	54.99
Granted	338,315	83.26
Vested	(421,818)	56.15
Forfeited	(38,699)	65.56
Balance at June 30, 2021	1,297,252	$	61.56

As of June 30, 2021, there was $44 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.51 years. The total grant date fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $24 million and $21 million, respectively.

Performance Share Awards and Performance Share Units

The Company has granted performance share awards and performance share units (collectively referred to as “PSUs”) as a part of its long-term incentive plan. 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 six months ended June 30, 2021, 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.

12. STOCK COMPENSATION (continued)

In the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted separate tranches of external-based metric PSU's subject to a Monte Carlo simulation. The following table provides a range of the assumptions for shares granted in 2021:




Expected volatility			42.74% — 43.67%
Risk free interest rate			0.18% — 0.24%
Expected term (in years)			2.56 — 2.90
Grant date fair value of units granted			$99.19 — $127.37

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.

PSU Summary

As of June 30, 2021, there was $24 million total unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.03 years. There were no shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The total grant date fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1 million.

The following table summarizes the Company’s PSU activity:



	Number of PSUs	Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Balance at December 31, 2020	323,361	$	69.20
Granted	153,858	85.81

Forfeited	(23,130)	65.59
Balance at June 30, 2021	454,089	$	69.63

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Owens Corning Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) is a tax-qualified plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purchase price of shares purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of shares of Owens Corning common stock at the beginning or ending of the offering period, which is a six-month period ending on May 31 and November 30 of each year. On April 16, 2020, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Owens Corning Employee Stock Purchase Plan which increased the number of shares available for issuance under the plan by 4.2 million shares. As of June 30, 2021, 4.0 million shares remain available for purchase.

Included in total stock-based compensation expense is $2 million and $3 million of expense related to the Company's ESPP recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized expense of $2 million and $3 million, respectively, related to the Company's ESPP. As of June 30, 2021, there was $2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP.

13. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table is a reconciliation of weighted-average shares for calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per-share (in millions, except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Net earnings (loss) attributable to Owens Corning	$	298	$	96	$	508	$	(821)
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding used for basic earnings (loss) per share	104.6		108.6		105.0		108.7
Non-vested restricted and performance shares	0.8		0.2		0.8		—
Options to purchase common stock	0.1		0.1		0.1		—
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding and common equivalent shares used for diluted earnings (loss) per share	105.5		108.9		105.9		108.7
Earnings (loss) per common share attributable to Owens Corning common stockholders:
Basic	$	2.85	$	0.88	$	4.84	$	(7.55)
Diluted	$	2.82	$	0.88	$	4.80	$	(7.55)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, there were no non-vested restricted or performance shares that had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share did not include 0.1 million non-vested performance shares, due to their anti-dilutive effect. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, diluted earnings per share was equal to basic earnings per share due to the net loss attributable to Owens Corning.

On December 3, 2020, the Board of Directors approved a 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 is at the Company’s discretion. The Company repurchased 2.9 million shares of its common stock for $262 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, under the Repurchase Authorization. As of June 30, 2021, 6.6 million shares remain available for repurchase under the Repurchase Authorization.

14. INCOME TAXES

The following table provides the Income tax expense (in millions) and effective tax rate for the periods indicated:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
Income tax expense	$	97		$	39		$	156		$	63
Effective tax rate	25		%	29		%	24		%	(8)		%

The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, excess tax benefits related to stock compensation, and other discrete adjustments. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, adjustments to valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets, excess tax benefits related to stock compensation, and other discrete adjustments.

The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, and other discrete adjustments. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily a result of charges related to the impairment of goodwill and certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets recorded in the first quarter of 2020, which were mostly non-deductible. Non-cash charges of $18 million were recorded related to adjustments to valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets. The remaining difference between the statutory rate of 21% and the effective rate was driven by the impact of recording U.S. state and local income tax expense and U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings.

The Company continues its current practice of asserting indefinite reinvestment in accordance with ASC 740 based on the laws as of enactment of the Tax Act.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 13, 2021, the Company acquired vliepa GmbH ("vliepa"), which specializes in the coating, printing, and finishing of nonwovens, paper, and film for the building materials industry in Europe, for approximately $40 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition broadens the Company’s significant global nonwovens portfolio to better serve European customers and accelerate growth of building and construction market applications in the region. Operating results of the acquisition will be included in the Company’s Composites segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning July 13, 2021. The Company is in the process of valuing certain assets and liabilities, and the purchase price allocation will be completed with the finalization of these valuations.

On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the Company’s Insulation site in Santa Clara, California to commercial real estate developer Panattoni for expected gross proceeds of approximately $240 million, including a non-refundable deposit of $50 million received at signing. The Company expects to continue operations at this facility through third-quarter 2022 and complete the transaction in first-quarter 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.

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 leading global producer of residential and commercial building materials and of glass fiber reinforcements and other materials for composites. The Company has three reportable segments: Composites, Insulation and Roofing. Through these lines of business, we manufacture and sell products worldwide. We maintain leading market positions in many of our major product categories.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Throughout the first half of 2021, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations continued to wane due to the resumption of widespread economic activity and ensuing recovery in many of the markets we serve globally. Despite this lessening impact throughout the first half of 2021, we continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic for potential impacts on our business and take precautions to provide a safe environment for our employees and customers. The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 caused an economic downturn on a global scale, the impact of which was felt across the markets served by our three segments. Our financial results in the second quarter and first half of 2020, which serve as the basis for comparison in the paragraphs below, reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net earnings attributable to Owens Corning were $298 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $96 million in the same period of 2020. The Company reported $428 million in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $171 million in the same period of 2020. The Company generated $408 million in adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“Adjusted EBIT”) for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $167 million in the same period of 2020. 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 (loss) attributable to Owens Corning. Second quarter of 2021 EBIT performance compared to the same period of 2020 increased $92 million, $86 million, and $80 million in our Composites, Roofing, and Insulation segments, respectively. Within our Corporate, Other and Eliminations category, General corporate expense and other increased by $17 million.

Cash and cash equivalents were $888 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to $582 million as of June 30, 2020, as a result of strong cash flow provided by operating activities. In the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company's operating activities provided $702 million of cash flow, compared to $229 million in the same period in 2020. The change was primarily driven by higher earnings and a smaller increase in operating assets and liabilities, primarily accounts payable, compared to the same period a year ago.

The Company repurchased 1.3 million shares of its common stock for $131 million in the second quarter of 2021 under a previously announced repurchase authorization (the "Share Repurchase Authorization"). As of June 30, 2021, 6.6 million shares remained available for repurchase under the Share 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 second quarter and year-to-date 2021, net sales increased $614 million and $928 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. For the second quarter and year-to-date, the increase in net sales was driven by the impact of higher sales volumes and higher selling prices in all three segments.

GROSS MARGIN

In the second quarter and year-to-date 2021, gross margin increased $275 million and $413 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. For the second quarter and year-to-date, the increase in gross margin was driven by the impact of higher sales volumes and higher selling prices in all three segments.

MARKETING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

In the second quarter and year-to-date 2021, marketing and administrative expenses increased $37 million and $32 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. For the second quarter and year-to-date, the increase in marketing and administrative expenses was driven primarily by higher performance-based compensation associated with an improved outlook for 2021 and higher general corporate expenses as business activities return to a more typical, post-pandemic level.

GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT CHARGE

The Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash impairment charge of $944 million in the first quarter of 2020 related to the Insulation reporting unit, which was equal to the excess of the reporting unit's carrying value over its fair value.

OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSES, NET

In the second quarter and year-to-date 2021, other (income) expenses, net decreased $23 million and $103 million, respectively, compared to the same period in 2020. For the second quarter, the decrease was driven primarily by $12 million of higher gains on sale of precious metals used in production tooling as needs changed in response to economic and technological factors and $4 million of lower restructuring costs. For the year-to-date comparison, the decrease was driven by the favorable comparison year-over-year to intangible asset impairment charges of $43 million recognized in 2020. The remaining difference was driven by $25 million of gains on settlements from contracts to purchase and sell wind-generated electricity, $22 million of higher gains on sale of precious metals and $8 million of lower restructuring costs.

INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

In the second quarter and year-to-date 2021, interest expense, net was largely flat compared to the same periods in 2020.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $97 million and $156 million, respectively. For the second quarter 2021, the Company's effective tax rate was 25% and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company's effective tax rate was 24%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, excess tax benefits related to stock compensation, and other discrete adjustments. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, adjustments to valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets, excess tax benefits related to stock compensation, 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 at least 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 by a range of zero to $2 million.

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $39 million and $63 million, respectively. For the second quarter 2020, the Company's effective tax rate was 29% and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company's effective tax rate was (8)%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, and other discrete adjustments. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily a result of charges related to the impairment of goodwill and certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets recorded in the first quarter of 2020, which were mostly non-deductible. Non-cash charges of $18 million were recorded related to adjustments to valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets. The remaining difference between the statutory rate of 21% and the effective rate was driven by the impact of recording U.S. state and local income tax expense and U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings.

Restructuring and Acquisition-Related Costs

The Company has incurred restructuring, transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, along with restructuring costs in connection with its global cost reduction and productivity initiatives. These costs are recorded within Corporate, Other and Eliminations. Please refer to Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the nature of these costs.

The following table presents the impact and respective location of these expense items on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss) (in millions):

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 (loss) attributable to Owens Corning as prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Adjusting income (expense) items to EBIT are shown in the table below (in millions):

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.

Composites

The table below provides a summary of net sales, EBIT and depreciation and amortization expense for the Composites segment (in millions):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
Net sales	$	583		$	398		$	1,142		$	892

Depreciation and amortization expense	$	39		$	39		$	77		$	77

NET SALES

In our Composites segment, net sales in the second quarter 2021 increased $185 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes of approximately 28%. The remaining variance was driven by favorable customer mix, $20 million from the favorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars and higher selling prices of $16 million.

For the year-to-date 2021, net sales in our Composites segment increased $250 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes of approximately 17%. The remaining variance was driven by favorable customer and product mix, $29 million from the favorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars, and higher selling prices of $25 million.

EBIT

In our Composites segment, EBIT in the second quarter of 2021 increased $92 million compared to the same period in 2020. The impact of higher sales volumes, higher selling prices and favorable customer mix drove the majority of the increase. The favorable comparison year-over-year to curtailment costs in 2020 provided additional benefit of $33 million. Input cost inflation of $12 million and higher transportation costs of $8 million were offset by favorable manufacturing performance.

For the year-to-date 2021, EBIT in our Composites segment increased $127 million compared to the same period in 2020. The impact of higher sales volumes, higher selling prices and favorable customer mix drove the majority of the increase. The favorable comparison year-over-year to curtailment costs in 2020 provided additional benefit of $37 million. Input cost inflation of $16 million and higher transportation costs of $10 million were offset by favorable manufacturing performance.

OUTLOOK

Global glass reinforcements market demand has historically been correlated with global industrial production and we believe this relationship will continue. In 2021, the Company expects continued global industrial production growth, though at lower levels than experienced in the first half of 2021 due to the favorable comparison to the first half of 2020, which was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Uncertainties that may impact our Composites financial results include the cost and availability of input materials.

Insulation

The table below provides a summary of net sales, EBIT and depreciation and amortization expense for the Insulation segment (in millions):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
Net sales	$	806		$	595		$	1,506		$	1,198
% change from prior year	35		%	-10		%	26		%	-4		%

EBIT as a % of net sales	14		%	5		%	13		%	6		%
Depreciation and amortization expense	$	53		$	49		$	104		$	98

NET SALES

In our Insulation segment, net sales in the second quarter of 2021 increased $211 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was due to higher sales volumes of about 25% and higher selling prices of $34 million. The remaining variance was driven by the $33 million favorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars.

For the year-to-date 2021, net sales in our Insulation segment increased $308 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was due to higher sales volumes of about 19% and higher selling prices of $48 million. The $55 million favorable impact of translating sales denominated in foreign currencies into United States dollars was partially offset by unfavorable product and customer mix.

EBIT

In our Insulation segment, EBIT in the second quarter of 2021 increased $80 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was driven by the impact of higher sales volumes and higher selling prices of $34 million. The benefit of fixed cost absorption on higher production volumes of $34 million and favorable manufacturing performance of $10 million more than offset $23 million of input cost inflation and $16 million in higher transportation costs.

For the year-to-date 2021, EBIT in our Insulation segment increased $123 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by the impact of higher sales volumes and higher selling prices of $48 million. The benefit of fixed cost absorption on higher production volumes of $49 million and favorable manufacturing performance of $15 million more than offset $30 million of input cost inflation and $22 million in higher transportation costs.

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 and Asia-Pacific. 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 lagged U.S. housing starts.

During the second quarter of 2021, the average Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) of U.S. housing starts was approximately 1.568 million, up from an annual average of approximately 1.086 million starts in the second quarter of 2020. The Company expects continued growth in the SAAR of U.S. housing starts in the second half of 2021, though at lower levels than experienced in the first half of 2021 due to the favorable comparison to the first half of 2020, which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Uncertainties that may impact our Insulation financial results include the cost and availability of input materials.

Roofing

The table below provides a summary of net sales, EBIT and depreciation and amortization expense for the Roofing segment (in millions):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

NET SALES

In our Roofing segment, net sales in the second quarter of 2021 increased $240 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes of about 19% on both higher shingle volumes and higher component volumes, higher selling prices of $94 million, and slightly higher third-party asphalt sales and product mix.

For the year-to-date 2021, net sales in our Roofing segment increased $396 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales volumes of about 22% on both higher shingle volumes and higher component volumes and higher selling prices of $125 million.

EBIT

In our Roofing segment, EBIT in the second quarter of 2021 increased $86 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher selling prices of $94 million and the impact of higher sales volumes. Input cost inflation, primarily asphalt and other petroleum-based products, of $42 million and $19 million of higher transportation costs were partially offset by favorable manufacturing performance of $14 million.

For the year-to-date 2021, EBIT in our Roofing segment increased $178 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher selling prices of $125 million and the impact of higher sales volumes. Input cost inflation, primarily asphalt and other petroleum-based products, of $45 million and $24 million of higher transportation costs were partially offset by favorable manufacturing performance of $46 million.

OUTLOOK

In our Roofing segment, we expect the factors that have driven strong margins in recent years, such as growth from remodeling demand, along with higher 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 input materials.

EBIT

In Corporate, Other and Eliminations, EBIT losses for the second quarter of 2021 were higher by $1 million compared to the same period in 2020. For the year-to-date 2021, EBIT losses in Corporate, Other and Eliminations were lower by $996 million primarily driven by the favorable comparison year-over-year to the goodwill impairment charge of $944 million and intangible asset charges of $43 million recorded in the first quarter of 2020. Additional details of these charges are further explained in Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The remaining difference was driven by $22 million of higher gains on sale of certain precious metals.

General corporate expense and other for the second quarter and year-to-date 2021 were higher by $17 million and $21 million compared to the same periods in 2020, driven primarily by higher performance-based compensation associated with an improved outlook for 2021 and higher general corporate expenses as business activities return to a more typical, post-pandemic level.

OUTLOOK

In 2021, we estimate general corporate expenses to be in the range of $150 million and $155 million.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS

Liquidity

The Company's primary external sources of liquidity are 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. In July 2021, the Senior Revolving Credit Facility was amended to extend the maturity date to July 2026.

The Company has a $280 million receivables securitization facility (the "Receivables Securitization Facility") that has been amended from time to time. In April 2021, the Receivables Securitization Facility was amended to extend the maturity date to April 2024.

The following table shows how the Company utilized its primary sources of liquidity (in millions):


	Balance at June 30, 2021
	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 Company issued $300 million of 2030 senior notes on May 12, 2020 subject to $3 million of discounts and issuance costs. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 each year, beginning on December 1, 2020. The proceeds from these notes were used for general corporate purposes.

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 2022. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $3.2 billion of total debt and cash and cash equivalents of $888 million.

Cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries may be subject to foreign withholding taxes upon repatriation to the U.S. As of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company had $118 million and $71 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. The Company continues to assert indefinite reinvestment in accordance with 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 15 of the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the "2020 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.

Our anticipated uses of cash include capital expenditures, working capital needs, pension contributions, share repurchases, meeting financial obligations, payments of quarterly dividends as authorized by our Board of Directors, and acquisitions. 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, to the extent available, our Receivables Securitization Facility, will provide ample liquidity to enable us to meet our cash requirements.

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 and a minimum required interest expense coverage ratio. We were in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2021. In July 2021, the Senior Revolving Credit Facility was amended to eliminate the minimum required interest expense coverage ratio covenant.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

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 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 as accounts payable within Total current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and totaled $185 million and $170 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The amounts paid that are associated with suppliers once they chose to voluntarily participate in the Programs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $235 million, and $181 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):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
		2021		2020
Cash and cash equivalents		$	888	$	582
Net cash flow provided by operating activities		$	702	$	229
Net cash flow used for investing activities		$	(213)	$	(54)
Net cash flow (used for) provided by financing activities		$	(320)	$	265
Availability on the Senior Revolving Credit Facility		$	796	$	606
Availability on the Receivables Securitization Facility		$	279	$	279

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 increased $306 million compared to June 30, 2020 primarily due to higher cash flow provided by operating activities.

Operating activities: For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company's operating activities provided $702 million of cash compared to $229 million provided in the same period in 2020. The change in cash provided by operating activities was due to higher earnings, and a smaller increase in operating assets and liabilities, primarily accounts payable, compared to the same period in 2020.

Investing activities: Net cash flow used for investing activities increased $159 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020, primarily driven by cash outflows from derivative settlements, higher cash paid for property, plant and equipment, and the unfavorable year-over-year comparison to proceeds from the sale of assets or affiliates in 2020.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Financing activities: Net cash used for financing activities was $320 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $265 million in the same period in 2020. The change was primarily due to lower borrowings on the Senior Revolving Credit Facility, higher purchases of treasury stock and an unfavorable year-over-year comparison to proceeds from long-term debt in 2020.

2021 Investments

Capital Expenditures: The Company will continue a balanced approach to the use of its cash flows. Operational cash flow will be used to fund the Company’s growth and innovation. Capital expenditures in 2021 are expected to be approximately $460 million, primarily driven by capacity expansion in our Composites segment to support growth in our downstream Nonwovens business.

Tax Net Operating Losses and U.S. Foreign Tax Credits

There have been no material changes to the disclosure in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Pension Contributions

Please refer to Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects to contribute $25 million in cash to its global pension plans during 2021. Actual contributions to the plans may change as a result of several factors, including changes in laws that impact funding requirements. The ultimate cash flow impact to the Company, if any, of the pension plan liability and the timing of any such impact will depend on numerous variables, including future changes in actuarial assumptions, legislative changes to pension funding laws, and market conditions.

Derivatives

Please refer to Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurement

Please refer to Notes 4 and 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contractual Obligations

In the normal course of business, we enter into contractual obligations to make payments to third parties. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, there were no material changes to such contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of our business.

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 Incidence Rate (“RIR”) as defined by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, our RIR was 0.51 as compared to 0.80 in the same period a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our RIR was 0.58 as compared to 0.67 in the same period a year ago.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On July 28, 2021, the Board of Directors of Owens Corning adopted, effective immediately, the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended, the “Bylaws”). The Bylaws include amendments to ensure that gender references in the document are balanced.

The foregoing description of the Bylaws is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to a marked copy of the full text of the Bylaws, which is attached as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement; Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On July 23, 2021, Owens Corning entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among the Company, as borrower, the lenders signatory thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s existing Credit Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2018 (as amended and supplemented, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the lenders signatory thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement amends and extends the Company’s Senior Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $800 million, including borrowings and letters of credit on substantially the same terms as under the Company’s Existing Credit Agreement, except as described below.

Interest on outstanding indebtedness under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility accrues at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, (1) the highest of (i) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association’s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) except when LIBOR is unavailable, LIBOR plus 1.00%; plus an applicable margin based upon the then applicable debt ratings of the Company; (2) if available, LIBOR plus an applicable margin based upon the then applicable debt ratings of the Company; or (3) the applicable LIBOR benchmark replacement plus an applicable margin based upon the then applicable debt ratings of the Company.

The applicable margins have been reduced across each pricing level as compared to the Company’s Existing Credit Agreement. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes (a) provisions to address the anticipated unavailability of LIBOR and (b) a framework to include in the future a sustainability component whereby the Credit Agreement pricing can improve upon the Company’s achievement of either (x) certain specified key performance indicators with respect to certain environmental, social and governmental targets or (y) external sustainability ratings determined via an independent third-party evaluation. The Credit Agreement eliminated the Interest Coverage Ratio contained in the Existing Credit Agreement.

The Senior Revolving Credit Facility matures on the earlier of July 23, 2026, the date of acceleration pursuant to its terms, or the date the commitments thereunder are terminated pursuant to the terms thereof.
