Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials.

Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock.

FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine.

Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe.

Operator: Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us, and welcome to Owens Corning's Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] I will now hand the conference over to Darren Garvin, Director of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.
Darren Garvin: Good morning, and thank you for joining us to discuss Owens Corning's Second Quarter 2026 Results. Joining me today are Brian Chambers, our Chair and Chief Executive Officer; and Todd Fister, our Chief Financial and Operating Officer. Our earnings release, Form 10-Q and presentation slides were issued earlier this morning and are available on the Investors section of our website at owenscorning.com. Following our prepared remarks, we will open the call for Q&A. [Operator Instructions] Before we begin, please refer to Slide 2. Today's remarks will include forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. We undertake no obligation to update these statements, except as required by law. Please refer to the cautionary statements and risk factors identified in our SEC filings for more detail. This presentation also includes non-GAAP financial measures. Explanations and reconciliations to GAAP measures can be found in our earnings release and presentation materials available on our website. Financials and metrics discussed today reflect continuing operations, except for cash flow measures, which include amounts related to glass reinforcements. With the completed divestiture of glass reinforcements, Q2 will be the final quarter that cash flow includes the impact of discontinued operations. For those following along with the presentation, we will begin on Slide 4. And with that, I'll turn the call over to our Chair and CEO, Brian Chambers.

This performance is a direct result of our strategic pivot to build a large-scale residential-focused building products company with unique and unifying competitive advantages, our iconic brand, unparalleled commercial strength, leading product and process technologies and our winning cost positions. I'll share more about our financial performance in a moment. But first, I will begin, as always, with safety.
