Expert Statements
Paul De Cock, Chief Executive Officer of Mohawk Industries
“We delivered a solid third quarter in a weak demand environment. We grew net sales as we executed price increases in response to rising inflation, we offset inflation with price, mix and productivity, and we are efficiently converting our earnings to strong cash flow. We are returning cash to shareholders, and our share repurchases in the third quarter were more than double what we completed in the first half of the year. Although we expect demand conditions to remain challenging and higher costs to persist, our teams are focused on serving our customers and delivering solid fourth quarter results.”
