US: USG Corporation has reported its strongest quarterly net income since 2007. Second quarter 2014 net sales of US$948m were up by 3% from second quarter 2013 net sales of US$916m. USG's second quarter 2014 operating profit was US$98m compared to US$74m in the second quarter of 2013. Second quarter 2014 net income was US$57m. This compares to a net income of US$25m in the second quarter of 2013.

"I'm pleased to report our best quarterly results in seven years," said James S Metcalf, chairman, president, and CEO of USG. "Despite slower than expected acceleration in industry opportunity, most of our businesses and products improved their performance from a year ago and we also recorded our first full quarter of operations in our USG Boral joint venture."

The corporation's adjusted operating profit was US$93m in the second quarter of 2014, which includes adjusted equity method investment income of US$6m from USG Boral Building Products, compared to an adjusted operating profit of US$76m in the second quarter of 2013. Adjusted net income was US$48m in the second quarter of 2014 compared to an adjusted net income of US$26m in the second quarter of 2013. Adjusted net income in the second quarter of 2014 excluded, among other items, a US$12m gain on the sale of its New Jersey paper mill, which has been idled since 2009.

"We remain confident in the recovery, but challenges in the macro-economic environment still exist," said Metcalf. "However, we believe that the second half of the year will be better than the first half and we are well positioned to capitalise on the improving opportunity."
