US: USG Corporation (USG) has reported second quarter 2011 net sales of USD761m, an operating loss of USD21m and a net loss of USD70m. For comparison in the second quarter of 2010, the corporation's operating loss was USD25m and its net loss was USD74m.

US Gypsum wallboard shipments totaled 986MMSF, down on the second quarter of 2010, which saw 1070MMSF shipped. The average selling price was also down, from USD114.17/MSF on average to USD111.55/MSF.

"We are continuing to pursue our near-term and long-term strategic priorities during the protracted recession in our domestic markets," said James Metcalf, President and CEO of USG. "By strengthening our core businesses, diversifying the sources of our earnings and aggressively leveraging our innovation leadership to differentiate USG's products from the competition, we are confident that we can successfully navigate this recession and capitalise on a recovery."

The corporation's adjusted operating loss was USD19m in the second quarter of 2011, which compares to an adjusted operating loss of USD18m in the second quarter of 2010. The adjusted operating loss for the second quarter of 2011 excludes USD2m of restructuring and long-lived asset impairment charges, while the adjusted operating loss for the second quarter of 2010 excluded USD7m.
