In addition, the company's less volatile distribution and ceilings businesses add a modest amount of stability to operations. Still, demand is highly cyclical for the company's products thus making USG's financial profile susceptible to very wide swings. Although the company maintains a leading market position in the highly competitive gypsum wallboard industry, its earnings and cash flow are subject to wide volatility in both volume and pricing as the industry depends largely on residential construction.
