US: USG Corp has reported a surge in profit for the first quarter of 2014, primarily on increased shipments and higher selling prices.

Chief executive officer James Metcalf said, "Despite the harsh winter conditions across most of the US during the first quarter of 2014, we delivered positive operating results and net income."
