CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- USG Corporation (NYS: USG) , a leading building products company, today reported second quarter 2013 net sales of $916 million, up 15 percent from second quarter 2012 net sales of $798 million. USG's second quarter 2013 operating profit was $74 million compared to a $28 million operating profit in the second quarter of 2012. Second quarter 2013 net income was $25 million or $0.22 per diluted share. This result compares to a $57 million net loss in the second quarter of 2012 or ($0.53) per diluted share.

"We are pleased to generate net income for the second consecutive quarter," said James S. Metcalf, Chairman, President and CEO. "Results in all major business units have improved from one year ago, including L&W Supply, which achieved an operating profit for the first time since 2008."

The corporation's adjusted net income was $26 million in the second quarter of 2013, which compares to an adjusted net loss of $18 million in the second quarter of 2012. The adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2013 excludes $1 million in restructuring charges. The adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2012 excluded $2 million in income from discontinued operations and $41 million in loss on the extinguishment of debt.

"We will continue to lower our break-even, improve our margins, and find growth opportunities as we build upon the recovery," Metcalf said. "The positive trend in our results demonstrates that our Plan to Win is working."
