OWENS CORNING AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
 
1.    GENERAL
Unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Owens Corning,” “Company,” “we” and “our” in this report refer to Owens Corning, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.
The Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report are unaudited, pursuant to certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include, in the opinion of the Company, normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods indicated, which, however, are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2016 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S."). In connection with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in this report, reference is made to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the "2016 Form 10-K"). Certain reclassifications have been made to the periods presented for 2016 to conform to the classifications used in the periods presented for 2017.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
On the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the total of Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash includes restricted cash of $7 million and $6 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Restricted cash primarily represents amounts received from a counterparty related to its performance assurance on an executory contract, and is included in Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts are contractually required to be set aside, and the counterparty can exchange the cash for another form of performance assurance at its discretion. There were no restricted cash amounts for the previous time periods presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and short-term debt approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments. Please refer to Notes 4 and 10 for additional fair value disclosure of derivative financial instruments and long-term debt, respectively.

2.    SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has three reportable segments: Composites, Insulation and Roofing. Accounting policies for the segments are the same as those for the Company. The Company’s three reportable segments are defined as follows:
Composites – The Composites segment includes vertically integrated downstream activities. The Company manufactures, fabricates and sells glass reinforcements in the form of fiber. Glass reinforcement materials are also used downstream by the Composites segment to manufacture and sell glass fiber products in the form of fabrics, non-wovens and other specialized products.
Insulation – Within our Insulation segment, the Company manufactures and sells fiberglass insulation into residential, commercial, industrial and other markets for both thermal and acoustical applications. It also manufactures and sells glass fiber pipe insulation, flexible duct media, bonded and granulated mineral wool insulation, cellular glass and foam insulation used in above- and below-grade construction applications.
Roofing – Within our Roofing segment, the Company manufactures and sells residential roofing shingles, oxidized asphalt materials, roofing components used in residential and commercial construction and specialty applications, and synthetic packaging materials.

2.    SEGMENT INFORMATION (continued)



EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST AND TAXES

Earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) by segment consist of net sales less related costs and expenses and are presented on a basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance. Certain items, such as general corporate expenses or income and certain other expense or income items, are excluded from the internal evaluation of segment performance. Accordingly, these items are not reflected in EBIT for our reportable segments and are included in the Corporate, Other and Eliminations category.

4.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to, among other risks, the impact of changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates in the normal course of business. The Company’s risk management program is designed to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks, and utilizes derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks, and does not enter into such transactions for trading purposes.
The Company generally does not require collateral or other security with counterparties to these financial instruments and is therefore subject to credit risk in the event of nonperformance; however, the Company monitors credit risk and currently does not anticipate nonperformance by other parties. Contracts with counterparties generally contain right of offset provisions. These provisions effectively reduce the Company’s exposure to credit risk in situations where the Company has gain and loss positions

outstanding with a single counterparty. It is the Company’s policy to offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets the amounts recognized for derivative instruments with any cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any amounts on deposit with any of its counterparties, nor did any of its counterparties have any amounts on deposit with the Company.
Our derivatives consist of natural gas forward swaps, cross currency swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts, all of which are over-the-counter and not traded through an exchange. The Company uses widely accepted valuation tools to determine fair value, such as discounting cash flows to calculate a present value for the derivatives. The models use Level 2 inputs, such as forward curves and other commonly quoted observable transactions and prices. The fair value of our derivatives and hedging instruments are all classified as Level 2 investments within the three-tier hierarchy.
The following table presents the fair value of derivatives and hedging instruments and the respective location on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

Losses and gains related to foreign currency derivatives were substantially offset by net revaluation impacts on foreign currency denominated balance sheet exposures, which were also recorded in Other expenses, net.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses a combination of derivative financial instruments, which qualify as cash flow hedges, and physical contracts to manage forecasted exposure to electricity and natural gas prices. The Company's policy for electricity exposure is to hedge up to 75% of its total forecasted exposure for the current calendar year and up to 65% of its total forecasted exposure for the first calendar year forward. The Company’s policy for natural gas exposure is to hedge up to 75% of its total forecasted exposure for

the next two months and up to 60% of its total forecasted exposure for the following four months, and lesser amounts for the remaining periods. Based on market conditions, approved variation from these standard policies may occur. Currently, the Company is managing risk associated with electricity prices only through physical contracts and has natural gas derivatives designated as hedging instruments that mature within 15 months.
The Company performs an analysis for effectiveness of its derivatives designated as hedging instruments at the end of each quarter based on the terms of the contracts and the underlying items being hedged. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of cash flow hedges is deferred in accumulated OCI and is subsequently recognized in Cost of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for commodity hedges, when the hedged item impacts earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities designated as hedging instruments are shown in the Other non-cash line within operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Any portion of the change in fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments that is determined to be ineffective is recorded in Other expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
As of September 30, 2017, less than $1 million of losses included in accumulated OCI on the Consolidated Balance Sheets relate to natural gas contracts that are expected to impact earnings during the next 12 months. Transactions and events that are expected to occur over the next 12 months that will necessitate recognizing these deferred amounts include the recognition of the hedged item through earnings.
Net Investment Hedges
The Company uses cross currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries against fluctuations in foreign exchange rates (primarily the European Euro). For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, settlements and changes in fair values of the derivative instruments are recognized in Currency translation adjustment, a component of Accumulated OCI, to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged. Any portion of net investment hedges that is determined to be ineffective is recorded in Other expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Cash settlements are included in Other investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Other Derivatives
The Company uses forward currency exchange contracts to manage existing exposures to foreign exchange risk related to assets and liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses resulting from the changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in Other expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Goodwill
During the first nine months of 2017, goodwill increased by $165 million as a result of the acquisition of Pittsburgh Corning. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently should circumstances change or events occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

7.    ACQUISITIONS

During the first nine months of 2017, the Company completed acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of $570 million, net of cash acquired.

Pittsburgh Corning Acquisition

On June 27, 2017, the Company acquired all the outstanding equity of Pittsburgh Corning, the world’s leading producer of cellular glass insulation systems for commercial and industrial markets, for approximately $563 million, net of cash acquired. This acquisition expands the Company’s position in commercial and industrial product offerings and grows its presence in Europe and Asia. Pittsburgh Corning's operating results since the date of acquisition and a preliminary purchase price allocation have been included in the Company's Insulation segment in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is continuing to obtain information to complete its valuation of certain assets and liabilities including intangible assets and tax assets. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to the purchase price allocation.

During the first nine months of 2017, the Consolidated Statements of Earnings included $73 million in Net sales attributable to the acquisition and a $5 million charge related to inventory fair value step-up in Cost of sales. Goodwill has been initially valued at approximately $165 million, with none of the amount expected to be tax-deductible. The factors contributing to the recognition of the amount of goodwill are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the Pittsburgh Corning acquisition and will accelerate making the Company the leading provider of insulation solutions by building on core glass technologies. The acquisition also included cash of approximately $50 million. The Company expects to complete its valuations no later than one year from the acquisition date and adjustments will continue to be made to the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Those adjustments may or may not be material. The pro forma effect of this acquisition on Net sales and Net earnings attributable to Owens Corning was not material.

InterWrap Acquisition
On April 21, 2016, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of InterWrap Holdings, Inc. ("InterWrap"), a leading manufacturer of roofing underlayment and packaging materials, for approximately $452 million, net of cash acquired. This acquisition expands the Company’s position in roofing components, strengthens the Company’s capabilities to support the conversion from organic to synthetic underlayment and accelerates its growth in the roofing components market. Interwrap's operating results have been included in the Roofing segment of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the acquisition. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Consolidated Statements of Earnings included $86 million in Net sales attributable to the InterWrap acquisition (related to the one-year post-acquisition period). The pro forma effect of this acquisition on Net sales and Net earnings attributable to Owens Corning was not material.

RESTRUCTURING AND ACQUISITION-RELATED COSTS (continued)

2017 Cost Reduction Actions
During the second quarter of 2017, the Company took actions to avoid future capital outlays and reduce costs in its Composites segment, mainly through decisions to close certain sub-scale manufacturing facilities in Asia Pacific (including Doudian, Peoples Republic of China) and North America (Mexico City, Mexico and Brunswick, Maine) and to reposition assets in its Chambery, France operation. During the first nine months of 2017, the Company recorded $20 million of charges, comprised of $11 million of severance, $8 million of accelerated depreciation and $1 million of exit costs associated with these actions. The Company expects to recognize approximately $30 million of incremental costs in 2017 and 2018, of which about $15 million is accelerated depreciation.

Other Restructuring Actions
During the remainder of 2017, the Company expects to incur an immaterial amount of incremental costs related to its 2016 cost reduction actions and InterWrap acquisition-related restructuring. Please refer to Note 11 of our 2016 Form 10-K for more information about these restructuring actions.

(a) The Company determined that the book value of the above noted long-term debt instruments approximates fair value.

The fair values of the Company's outstanding long-term debt instruments were estimated using market observable inputs, including quoted prices in active markets, market indices and interest rate measurements. Within the hierarchy of fair value measurements, these are Level 2 fair values.
Senior Notes
The Company issued $600 million of 2047 senior notes on June 26, 2017 subject to $12 million of discounts and issuance costs. Interest on the 2047 senior notes is payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 each year, beginning on January 15, 2018. A portion of the proceeds from the 2047 senior notes was used to fund the purchase of Pittsburgh Corning in the second quarter of 2017 and for general corporate purposes. In the third quarter of 2017, a portion of the proceeds was used by the Company, in addition to borrowings on the Receivables Securitization Facility (as defined below), to repay portions of the Company's outstanding 2019 senior notes and 2036 senior notes. The Company issued a make-whole call to repay the remaining portion of its outstanding 2019 senior notes, and the redemption was completed in the third quarter of 2017. The Company recognized approximately $71 million of loss on extinguishment of debt in the third quarter of 2017 associated with these actions.
The Company issued $400 million of 2026 senior notes on August 8, 2016. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 each year, beginning on February 15, 2017. A portion of the proceeds from these notes was used to redeem $158 million of our 2016 senior notes. The remaining proceeds were used to pay down portions of our Receivables Securitization Facility and for general corporate purposes.
The Company issued $400 million of 2024 senior notes on November 12, 2014. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 each year, beginning on June 1, 2015. A portion of the proceeds from these notes were used to repay $242 million of our 2016 senior notes and $105 million of our 2019 senior notes. The remaining proceeds were used to pay down our Senior Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), finance general working capital needs, and for general corporate purposes.
The Company issued $600 million of 2022 senior notes on October 17, 2012. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 each year, beginning on June 15, 2013. The proceeds of these notes were used to refinance

DEBT (continued)

$250 million of our 2016 senior notes and $100 million of our 2019 senior notes and pay down our Senior Revolving Credit Facility.
The Company issued $350 million of 2019 senior notes on June 3, 2009. On October 31, 2006, the Company issued $650 million of 2016 senior notes and $540 million of 2036 senior notes. The proceeds of these notes were used to pay certain unsecured and administrative claims, finance general working capital needs and for general corporate purposes.
Collectively, the senior notes above are referred to as the “Senior Notes.” The Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company.
The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s current and future domestic subsidiaries that are borrowers or guarantors under the Company’s credit agreement ("Credit Agreement"). The guarantees are unsecured and rank equally in right of payment with all other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the guarantors. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to existing and future secured debt of the guarantors to the extent of the assets securing that indebtedness.
The Company has the option to redeem all or part of the Senior Notes at any time at a “make-whole” redemption price. The Company is subject to certain covenants in connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes that it believes are usual and customary. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2017.
In the first quarter of 2016, the Company terminated interest rate swaps designated to hedge a portion of the 4.20% senior notes due 2022. The residual fair value of the swaps are recognized in Long-term debt, net of current portion on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an unamortized interest rate swap basis adjustment.
Senior Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has an $800 million multi-currency senior revolving credit facility that has been amended from time to time (the "Senior Revolving Credit Facility") with a maturity date in November 2020 and uncommitted incremental loans permitted under the facility of $600 million. The Senior Revolving Credit Facility includes both borrowings and letters of credit. Borrowings under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes and working capital. The Company has the discretion to borrow under multiple options, which provide for varying terms and interest rates including the United States prime rate or LIBOR plus a spread.
The Senior Revolving Credit Facility contains various covenants, including a maximum allowed leverage ratio and a minimum required interest expense coverage ratio, that the Company believes are usual and customary for a senior unsecured credit agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2017. Please refer to the Credit Facility Utilization paragraph below for liquidity information as of September 30, 2017.
Term Loan Commitment
The Company obtained a term loan commitment on June 8, 2017 for $350 million (the "Term Loan Commitment"), separate from the $600 million of uncommitted incremental loans permitted under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility. The Company entered into the Term Loan Commitment, in part, to potentially pay a portion of the purchase price of the Pittsburgh Corning acquisition. On July 24, 2017, the Company provided formal notification of its intent to voluntarily reduce the entire Term Loan Commitment, thus eliminating the availability of credit under the facility effective on July 31, 2017.
Receivables Securitization Facility
Included in long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are borrowings outstanding under a Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “RPA”) that are accounted for as secured borrowings in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 860, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing." Owens Corning Sales, LLC and Owens Corning Receivables LLC, each a subsidiary of the Company, have a $250 million RPA with certain financial institutions. The securitization facility (the "Receivables Securitization Facility") now matures in May 2020, following amendments in March 2017 and May 2017 to extend its maturity. No other significant terms impacting liquidity were amended. The Company has the ability to borrow at the lenders' cost of funds, which approximates A-1/P-1 commercial paper rates, plus a fixed spread.

The Receivables Securitization Facility contains various covenants, including a maximum allowed leverage ratio and a minimum required interest expense coverage ratio that the Company believes are usual and customary for a securitization facility. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2017. Please refer to the Credit Facility Utilization section below for liquidity information as of September 30, 2017.
Owens Corning Receivables LLC’s sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of trade receivables and related rights from Owens Corning Sales, LLC and the subsequent retransfer of or granting of a security interest in such trade receivables and related rights to certain purchasers party to the RPA. Owens Corning Receivables LLC is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of Owens Corning Receivables LLC’s assets prior to any assets or value in Owens Corning Receivables LLC becoming available to Owens Corning Receivables LLC’s equity holders.

PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Pension Plans
The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans. Under the plans, pension benefits are based on an employee’s years of service and, for certain categories of employees, qualifying compensation. Company contributions to these pension plans are determined by an independent actuary to meet or exceed minimum funding requirements. In our non-U.S. plans, the unrecognized cost of any retroactive amendments and actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average future service period of plan participants expected to receive benefits. In our U.S. plans, the unrecognized cost of any retroactive amendments and actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants as substantially all of the plan participants are inactive.
During the second quarter of 2017, the Company completed two balance sheet risk mitigation actions related to certain non-U.S. pension plans. These actions included the purchase of non-participating annuity contracts from an insurance company and the payment of lump sums to retirees, which resulted in the settlement of liabilities to affected participants. As a result of these transactions, the Company recognized pension settlement losses of $28 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. These losses are included in Other expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in our Corporate, Other and Eliminations category. These transactions did not have a material effect on the plans' funded status.

PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS (continued)


The Company expects to contribute approximately $50 million in cash to the U.S. pension plans and another $22 million to non-U.S. plans during 2017. The Company made cash contributions of $68 million to the plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Postemployment and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pension Plans
The Company maintains healthcare and life insurance benefit plans for certain retired employees and their dependents. The health care plans in the United States are non-funded and pay either (1) stated percentages of covered medically necessary expenses, after subtracting payments by Medicare or other providers and after stated deductibles have been met, or (2) fixed amounts of medical expense reimbursement.
The following table provides the components of net periodic benefit cost for aggregated U.S. and non-U.S. plans for the periods indicated (in millions):

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS

The Company may be involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings relating to employment, antitrust, tax, product liability, environmental and other matters (collectively, “Proceedings”). The Company regularly reviews the status of such Proceedings along with legal counsel. Liabilities for such Proceedings are recorded when it is probable that the liability has been incurred and when the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities are adjusted when additional information becomes available. Management believes that the amount of any reasonably possible losses in excess of any amounts accrued, if any, with respect to such Proceedings or any other known claim, including the matters described below under the caption Environmental Matters (the “Environmental Matters”), are not material to the Company’s financial statements. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of the Proceedings and the Environmental Matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. While the likelihood is remote, the disposition of the Proceedings and Environmental Matters could have a material impact on the results of operations, cash flows or liquidity in any given reporting period.
Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings

The Company is involved in litigation and regulatory Proceedings from time to time in the regular course of its business. The Company believes that adequate provisions for resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending matters have been made for probable losses that are reasonably estimable.
Litigation Settlement Gain

In May 2017, the Company and TopBuild Corp. entered into a settlement agreement in connection with a commercial breach of contract dispute from the second quarter of 2016. Under the terms of the settlement, TopBuild Corp. paid Owens Corning $30 million in cash in the second quarter of 2017. The settlement also resulted in the dismissal of the lawsuit filed in May 2016 in connection with the dispute. During the second quarter of 2017, a $29 million litigation settlement gain, net of legal fees, was recorded in Other expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in the Corporate, Other and Eliminations category.

Environmental Matters

The Company has established policies and procedures designed to ensure that its operations are conducted in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations and that enable the Company to meet its high standards for corporate sustainability and environmental stewardship. Our manufacturing facilities are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the presence of hazardous materials, pollution and protection of the environment, including emissions to air, discharges to water, management of hazardous materials, handling and disposal of solid wastes, and remediation of contaminated sites. All Company manufacturing facilities operate using an ISO 14001 or equivalent environmental management system. The Company’s 2020 Sustainability Goals require significant global reductions in energy use, water consumption, waste to landfill, and emissions of greenhouse gases, fine particulate matter and toxic air emissions.

Owens Corning is involved in remedial response activities and is responsible for environmental remediation at a number of sites, including certain of its currently owned or formerly owned plants. These responsibilities arise under a number of laws, including, but not limited to, the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), and similar state or local laws pertaining to the management and remediation of hazardous materials and petroleum. The Company has also been named a potentially responsible party under the U.S. Federal Superfund law, or state equivalents, at a number of disposal sites. The Company became involved in these sites as a result of government action or in connection with business acquisitions. As of September 30, 2017, the Company was involved with a total of 21 sites worldwide, including 8 Superfund sites and 13 owned or formerly owned sites. None of the liabilities for these sites are individually significant to the Company.

Remediation activities generally involve a potential range of activities and costs related to soil and groundwater contamination. This can include pre-cleanup activities such as fact finding and investigation, risk assessment, feasibility studies, remedial action design and implementation (where actions may range from monitoring to removal of contaminants, to installation of longer-term remediation systems). A number of factors affect the cost of environmental remediation, including the number of parties involved in a particular site, the determination of the extent of contamination, the length of time the remediation may require, the complexity of environmental regulations, variability in clean-up standards, the need for legal action, and changes in remediation technology. Taking these factors into account, Owens Corning has predicted the costs of remediation reasonably estimated to be paid over a

period of years. The Company accrues an amount on an undiscounted basis, consistent with the reasonable estimates of these costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred. Actual cost may differ from these estimates for the reasons mentioned above. At September 30, 2017, the Company had an accrual totaling $3 million for these costs. Changes in required remediation procedures or timing of those procedures, or discovery of contamination at additional sites, could result in material increases to the Company’s environmental obligations.

STOCK COMPENSATION

Stock Plans

2016 Stock Plan

On April 21, 2016, the Company’s stockholders approved the Owens Corning 2016 Stock Plan (the “2016 Stock Plan”) which authorizes grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, bonus stock awards and performance stock awards. At September 30, 2017, the number of shares remaining available under the 2016 Stock Plan for all stock awards was 3.2 million.
Stock Options
The Company did not grant any stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company calculates a weighted-average grant-date fair value using a Black-Scholes valuation model for options granted. Compensation expense for options is measured based on the fair market value of the option on the date of grant, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over a four year vesting period. In general, the exercise price of each option awarded was equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and an option’s maximum term is 10 years.
During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized expense of less than $1 million and $1 million, respectively, related to the Company's stock options. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized expense of less than $1 million and $2 million, respectively, related to the Company's stock options. As of September 30, 2017, there was less than $1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.42 years. The total aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of September 30, 2017 was $27 million.

STOCK COMPENSATION (continued)


Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units
The Company has granted restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (collectively referred to as “restricted stock”) as a part of its long-term incentive plan. Compensation expense for restricted stock is measured based on the market price of the stock at date of grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is is typically three or four years. The Stock Plan allows alternate vesting schedules for death, disability, and retirement over various periods ending in 2020.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized expense of $5 million and $16 million, respectively, related to the Company's restricted stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized expense of $5 million and $14 million, respectively, related to the Company's restricted stock. As of September 30, 2017, there was $37 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.67 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $18 million and $15 million, respectively.

Performance Stock Awards and Performance Stock Units
The Company has granted performance stock awards and performance stock units (collectively referred to as “PSUs”) as a part of its long-term incentive plan. All outstanding performance grants will fully settle in stock. The amount of stock ultimately distributed from all performance shares issued after the 2014 grants is contingent on meeting internal company-based metrics or an external-based stock performance metric. The amount of stock ultimately distributed from the 2014 grant is contingent on meeting an external-based stock performance metric.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company granted both internal company-based and external-based metric PSUs.
Internal based metrics
The internal company-based metrics vest after a three-year period and are based on various Company metrics. The amount of stock distributed will vary from 0% to 300% of PSUs awarded depending on each year's award design and performance versus the internal Company-based metrics.
The initial fair value for all internal Company-based metric PSUs assumes that the performance goals will be achieved and is based on the grant date stock price. This assumption is monitored quarterly and if it becomes probable that such goals will not be achieved or will be exceeded, compensation expense recognized will be adjusted and previous surplus compensation expense recognized will be reversed or additional expense will be recognized. The expected term represents the period from the grant date to the end of the three-year performance period. Pro-rata vesting may be utilized in the case of death, disability or approved retirement and awards if earned will be paid at the end of the three-year period.

STOCK COMPENSATION (continued)

External-based metrics
The external-based metrics vest after a three-year period. Outstanding grants issued in 2015 and thereafter are based on the Company's total stockholder return relative to the performance of the companies constituting the former S&P Building & Construction Industry Index. Outstanding grants issued prior to 2015 are based on the Company's total stockholder return relative to the performance of the companies in the S&P 500 Index. The amount of stock distributed will vary from 0% to 200% of PSUs awarded depending on the relative stockholder return performance.
The Company estimated the fair value of the external-based metric performance stock grants using a Monte Carlo simulation. The external-based metric performance stock granted in 2017 uses various assumptions that include expected volatility of 26.1%, and a risk free interest rate of 1.4%, both of which were based on an expected term of 2.92 years. Expected volatility was based on a benchmark study of our peers. The risk-free interest rate was based on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bills at the time of grant. The expected term represents the period from the grant date to the end of the three-year performance period. Compensation expense for external-based metric PSUs is measured based on the grant date fair value and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Pro-rata vesting may be utilized in the case of death, disability or approved retirement, and awards if earned will be paid at the end of the three-year period.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized expense of $4 million and $12 million, respectively, related to the Company's PSUs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized expense of $2 million and $7 million, respectively, related to the Company's PSUs. As of September 30, 2017, there was $18 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to PSUs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.74 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On April 18, 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved the Owens Corning Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The ESPP is a tax-qualified plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purchase price of shares purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of shares of Owens Corning common stock at the beginning or ending of the offering period, which is a six-month period ending on May 31 and November 30 of each year. At the approval date, 2.0 million shares were available for purchase under the ESPP. As of September 30, 2017, 1.1 million shares remain available for purchase.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized expense of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, related to the Company's ESPP. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized expense of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, related to the Company's ESPP. As of September 30, 2017, there was $1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the ESPP.

On October 24, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a share buy-back program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 10 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Repurchase Authorization”). The Repurchase Authorization enables the Company to repurchase shares through the open market, privately negotiated, or other transactions. The actual number of shares repurchased will depend on timing, market conditions and other factors and is at the Company’s discretion. The Company repurchased 2.3 million shares of its common stock for $142 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 under the Repurchase Authorization. As of September 30, 2017, 7.5 million shares remain available for repurchase under the Repurchase Authorization.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we did not have any non-vested performance shares that had an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share did not include 0.1 million non-vested performance shares due to their anti-dilutive effect.

The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to the reversal of a valuation allowance recorded in prior years against certain Asian net deferred tax assets, an increase in U.S. research and development tax credits, the benefit of lower foreign tax rates and other discrete adjustments.
The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 is primarily due to an increase in unrecognized tax benefit reserves, U.S. state and local income tax expense, the benefit of lower foreign tax rates and other discrete adjustments.

17.    ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The following table summarizes recent accounting standard updates ("ASU") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") that could have an impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements:
Standard
Description
Effective Date for Company
Effect on the
Consolidated Financial Statements
Recently issued standards:
 
 
 
ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," as amended by ASU's 2015-14, 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-11, 2016-12, 2016-20, 2017-05 and 2017-13.
This standard outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Entities can adopt this standard either through a retrospective or modified-retrospective approach.
January 1, 2018
We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We expect to complete our assessment in the fourth quarter of 2017 and plan to use the modified-retrospective method of adoption. Many of our customer volume commitments are short-term (as explained on pg. 5 of the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of our 2016 Form 10-K) and do not contain multiple element arrangements. As a result, we do not expect many elements of this standard to be applicable to our business model.

Under our current accounting policy (as described in Note 1 of our 2016 Form 10-K), we recognize revenue when title and risk of loss pass to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured, and we estimate variable consideration based on historical experience, current conditions and contractual obligations. We believe our current variable consideration estimates are largely consistent with the new standard. We are still analyzing potential quarterly timing differences for our consignment sales arrangements and customized products manufactured for customers, but we expect any such differences to be immaterial to our results of operations. We are also still assessing the standard's new disclosure requirements and impact on internal control over financial reporting.
ASU 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)"
The standard requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The recognition and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. Entities will adopt this standard through a retrospective approach.
January 1, 2019
We are currently assessing the potential impact of this standard adoption on our financial reporting processes and disclosures. We believe that our adoption of the standard will likely have a material impact to our Consolidated Balance Sheets for the recognition of certain operating leases as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. (Our operating lease obligations are described in Note 8 of our 2016 Form 10-K). We are in the process of analyzing our lease portfolio and implementing systems to comply with the standard's retrospective adoption requirements.
ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)"
This standard replaces the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses with a current expected credit losses model and applies to all financial assets, including trade receivables. Entities will adopt the standard using a modified-retrospective approach.
January 1, 2020
We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our current accounts receivable policy (as described in Note 1 of our 2016 Form 10-K) uses historical and current information to estimate the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We have not yet analyzed our current systems and methods to determine the impact of using forward-looking information to estimate expected credit losses.
ASU 2016-16 "Income Taxes (Topic 740)"
This standard clarifies that an entity should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs.
January 1, 2018
We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

This standard requires that the other components of net benefit cost be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. Entities will adopt the presentation elements of this standard on a retrospective basis.
January 1, 2018
We do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements on an ongoing basis. The standard's retrospective adoption, though, will likely have a significant impact on the classifications in our 2017 Consolidated Statements of Earnings, mainly due to pension settlement losses that were recorded in the second quarter of 2017 (as described in Note 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements).
ASU 2017-12 "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)"
This standard changes how an entity assesses effectiveness of derivative instruments, potentially resulting in less ineffectiveness and more derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting. Entities may early adopt the standard in any interim period, with the effect of adoption being applied to existing hedging relationships as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.
January 1, 2019
We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.



18.    CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements present the financial information required with respect to those entities which guarantee certain of the Company’s debt. The Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements are presented on the equity method. Under this method, the investments in subsidiaries are recorded at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of the subsidiaries’ cumulative results of operations, capital contributions, distributions and other equity changes. The principal elimination entries eliminate investment in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.
Guarantor and Nonguarantor Financial Statements
The Senior Notes and the Senior Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed, fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally, by certain of Owens Corning’s current and future wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries that are borrowers or guarantors under the Credit Agreement, which permits changes to the named guarantors in certain situations (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The remaining subsidiaries have not guaranteed the Senior Notes and the Senior Revolving Credit Facility (collectively, the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).
