Armstrong World Industries Inc Q1 2022 Earnings Call Transcript

The following is excerpted from the question-and-answer section of the transcript.

Question: Susan Marie Maklari - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Research Division - Analyst : My next question is going back to the inventory situation in Mineral Fiber. You have noted that some of that related to the change in the cadence of the pricing that you've put through. Does it, in any way, impact how you think about the go forward in terms of pricing? Is there may be more willingness to kind of stick with your historical cadence as opposed to kind of being as reactionary to inflation as it does change over the course of time? Or anything else that we should be aware of as you kind of look forward and learn from this experience?

Question: Susan Marie Maklari - Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Research Division - Analyst : Okay. Okay. That's helpful. And then my second question is, over the last couple of quarters, we've been talking about various end markets that have been maybe recovering a little bit faster or some that have been lagging whatever it is, one relative to the other. As you sort of look at where you stand today and thinking about the improvements that you're talking about as we go through the balance of the year and comments from distributors, would you say that there are certain end markets where you're really seeing more of a substantial pickup? Or it feels like we're getting past some of the COVID headwinds and the other things that have been impacting those end markets or geographies that are finally really coming together?
