Segment PerformanceEffective Apr 1, 2016, Armstrong World’s Building Products segment was disaggregated into the following three geographical segments:  Americas (including Canada), Europe, Middle East and Africa (including Russia) (EMEA) and Pacific Rim.Americas: Net sales at the Americas segment grew 2% year over year to $226 million driven by improvement in AUV.  Adjusted operating income decreased to $72 million in the quarter from $76 million in the prior year quarter, led by higher SG&A expenses and manufacturing costs, as a result ofincreased corporate cost allocation as a result of the AFI separation.

EMEA: The EMEA segment’s sales dropped 5.1% year over year to $74.2 million from $78.2 in the year-ago quarter. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of approximately $1 million, sales increased 1.9% due to higher volumes as higher sales in the Russia were mostly offset by lower sales in the Middle East and continental Europe. Adjusted operating income increased to $5 million from $4 million in the prior year quarter, aided by lower manufacturing and input costs and lower SG&A costs along with higher earnings from WAVE.

Pacific Rim: Net sales in the reported quarter slumped 4.1% year over year to $34.7 million. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange of approximately $1 million, sales decreased 1.7%, as improvements in AUV were offset by lower volumes. Operating income was at $1 million compared with break-even results last quarter due to improvements in AUV and lower manufacturing and input costs, which were partially neutralized by lower volumes.FinancialsArmstrong World reported cash and cash equivalents of $142.5 million as of Sep 30, 2016, compared with $250 million as of Sep 30, 2015. The company used $2.64 million of cash in operating activities for the nine-month period ending Sep 30, 2016 compared with cash flow of $144 million in the comparable year-ago period.OutlookArmstrong World narrowed its expected ranges for full year 2016 constant currency sales and adjusted EBITDA to $1.24 to $1.27 billion and $315 to $325 million, respectively. Mid-points of both ranges however remain unchanged.  Armstrong World now projects adjusted earnings per share to be in the range of $2.20 to $2.30 per diluted share.
