    • Operating margin decreased 10 basis points to 15.9 percent from 16.0 percent
    • Net income decreased to $0.90 per share, compared to $0.97 per share
  • Compared to first quarter 2022, results for key financial measures, as adjusted for certain items (see Exhibit A) and with a normalized tax rate of 24 percent, were as follows:
    • Gross margin increased 150 basis points to 33.6 percent from 32.1 percent

“We are pleased with our strong execution in what remains a challenging macro environment,” said Masco President and CEO, Keith Allman. “In the first quarter we improved adjusted gross margin by 150 basis points with pricing actions and operational improvements offsetting lower volume. Additionally, we returned $121 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the quarter, showcasing the Company’s strong financial position and our Board’s continued confidence in Masco’s resilient business model.”

“While the headwinds we discussed last quarter continue, including softening demand trends, persistent inflation and tighter consumer spending, we have moved quickly to adjust our costs and successfully mitigated margin impact in the first quarter. We continue to expect adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $3.10 to $3.40 per share for 2023. We remain confident in our strong business fundamentals and are committed to continued prudent investment in our market leading brands, service levels, and innovative products to best position Masco for long-term shareholder value creation,” concluded Allman.
