Masonite Highlights Strategic Growth Priorities and Financial Goals in 2023 Investor Day Event

By: via Business Wire

Masonite International Corporation (NYSE: DOOR) will host a virtual Investor Day today, September 19, 2023, starting at 9:00 a.m. (ET). The event will feature presentations by members of the executive leadership team on the company’s operations, strategic priorities, and long-term growth objectives, including 2027 financial goals.

“The theme of this year’s event is Invisible to Invaluable,” said Howard Heckes, President and CEO of Masonite. “Consumers consistently tell us that they expect doors to play an increasingly important role throughout the home, and we are developing innovative door solutions with the power to fundamentally improve the homeowner experience.”

“We are transforming Masonite – and the entire industry – with our Doors That Do MoreTM growth strategy, which has three pillars focused on creating value through product leadership, strong customer engagement and a superior service proposition,” continued Heckes. “While each pillar drives improvements in our business, it is the integrated nature of the strategy that we believe allows us to excel at creating and capturing demand to outperform the market. Our entire team is focused on unlocking this opportunity for shareholders, as we drive towards our 2027 financial goals of delivering over $1 billion in cumulative free cash flow and expanding our Adjusted EBITDA margin to nearly 20%.”

A link to the live webcast is available on the Investor Relations section of the Masonite website at investor.masonite.com. A replay of the webcast and copies of the presentations will also be made available on the Masonite website following the event.
