    SCOUT Episode 5 - "The Sound of Silence"

    Welcome to another episode of SCOUT. We’ve produced this podcast series to give clients and friends a view into SouthernSun’s investment process. Sit back and enjoy today’s latest episode of our podcast, “SCOUT: On the Road with SouthernSun” about Armstrong World Industries, a company within the SouthernSun portfolio that: IS A CLEAR NICHE LEADER. In the ceilings industry, Armstrong boasts more than a 50% market share. Its closest competitor is less than half Armstrong’s size. And this is not just a passing trend … Armstrong has had this stronghold for about 30 years. REINVESTS WISELY. Armstrong management has a track record of reinvesting in its core business to reinforce and enhance its strong competitive position. Since 2016, Armstrong has returned to shareholders over $1 billion in dividends and share repurchases. RELENTLESSLY INNOVATES, DESPITE BEING 160 YEARS OLD. One of the oldest American companies, Armstrong finds itself being the answer to its customers’ ceiling needs. Its industry-leading service levels engender customer loyalty.  And its consistent rate of new products and services show that it is a company that doesn’t rest on its laurels – rather, Armstrong strives to continuously meet the evolving needs of its customers.           Important Disclosures: This information is confidential, may not be reproduced or circulated in whole or in part, and is intended for institutional clients, qualified institutional buyers, professional investors or professional clients.
