Net sales down slightly to $9.7 billion in 2023
February 15, 2024
By: Tara Olivo
Associate Editor at Nonwovens Industry
Owens Corning reported net sales of $9.7 billion in 2023, down slightly from 2022. Roofing net sales increased 10% to $4 billion in 2023 compared to 2022, with strong year-over-year demand driven primarily by higher levels of storm activity, in addition to positive price and favorable mix. Insulation net sales decreased slightly to $3.7 billion in 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to lower sales volumes in both the North American residential insulation and technical and global insulation businesses, which were largely offset by positive price, favorable delivery costs, and mix. Composites net sales decreased 14% to $2.3 billion in 2023, primarily due to lower volumes and the net impact of divestitures and acquisitions. Roofing net sales increased 16% to $928 million in fourth-quarter 2023 compared with fourth-quarter 2022, with continued strong demand tied to the mild weather extending the roofing season in many regions and strong components attachment rate, as well as favorable mix and positive price. Insulation net sales decreased 3% to $931 million in fourth-quarter 2023 compared with fourth-quarter 2022. The change was primarily due to lower volumes in both the North American residential insulation and technical and global insulation businesses, partially offset by favorable price and mix. Composites net sales decreased 13% to $514 million in fourth-quarter 2023 compared with fourth-quarter 2022, primarily due to lower volumes and price declines resulting from lower spot prices in glass reinforcements.
