Armstrong World Industries Reports Third-Quarter 2026 Results

Mark Hershey, President and CEO of Armstrong World Industries

“Strong demand for our broad portfolio of Architectural Specialties solutions and solid Mineral Fiber AUV and volume performance drove another quarter of record top-line results. In relatively stable end market conditions, our growth initiatives continue to enable us to deliver profitable growth ahead of the market. Despite rapidly rising inflationary pressures, as well as timing-related mix headwinds impacting Mineral Fiber sales, our teams delivered double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth along with adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in both segments. Across the enterprise, we have responded to accelerating cost pressures, while remaining squarely focused on delivering our updated full-year outlook and advancing our attractive growth initiatives.”

Chris Calzaretta, Senior Vice President and CFO of Armstrong World Industries

“We delivered double-digit growth in both net sales and adjusted EBITDA for the total company in the third quarter, with adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in both segments despite ongoing input cost and tariff pressures. Our updated outlook for 2026 reflects an increase in organic Architectural Specialties net sales, the impact of accelerating costs for both segments, net of mitigation efforts, as well as mix headwinds in Mineral Fiber and softer contributions from recent acquisitions. We expect to deliver strong full-year growth across all key metrics, demonstrating our resilient business model, focus on operational efficiency, and disciplined approach to capital allocation, all of which position us well for continued shareholder value creation.”
