    Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
    Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted new accounting guidance which addresses how to determine whether a sales arrangement involves multiple deliverables or contains more than one unit of accounting, and how the sales arrangement consideration should be allocated among the separate units of accounting. The Company evaluated this new guidance and the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or its results of operations.

    The fair value of the auction rate securities held by the Company have been estimated, on a recurring basis, using a discounted cash flow model (Level 3 input). The significant inputs in the discounted cash flow model used to value the auction rate securities include: expected maturity of auction rate securities, discount rate used to determine the present value of expected cash flows and the assumptions for credit defaults, since the auction rate securities are backed by credit default swap agreements.
 
    The following tables summarize the changes in Level 3 financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, in millions:

    Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not measure any financial investments on a non-recurring basis, as there was no other-than-temporary decline in the estimated value of private equity funds. Financial investments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during 2010 and the amounts for each level within the fair value hierarchy were as follows, in millions:

    The fair value of the Company’s short-term and long-term fixed-rate debt instruments is based principally upon quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or the current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt at June 30, 2011 was approximately $4.1 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $4.1 billion. The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2010 was approximately $4.2 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $4.1 billion.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure
E.   During 2011 and 2010, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge currency fluctuations related to intercompany loans denominated in non-functional currencies. At June 30, 2011, the Company had recorded (losses) of $(4) million on the foreign currency exchange contracts, which is partially offset by gains related to the translation of loans and accounts denominated in non-functional currencies. Gains (losses) related to these contracts are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income in other income (expense), net. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had recorded gains net of $— million and $5 million, respectively, related to these foreign currency exchange contracts. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had recorded gains net of $4 million and $1 million, respectively, related to these foreign currency exchange contracts.
    During 2011 and 2010, the Company, including certain European operations, also entered into foreign currency forward contracts to manage a portion of its exposure to currency fluctuations in the European euro and the U.S. dollar. Based upon period-end market prices, the Company had recorded liabilities of $2 million and $3 million to reflect contract prices at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Gains (losses) related to these contracts are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income in other income (expense), net. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had recorded gains (losses) net of $1 million and $(2) million, respectively, related to these foreign currency exchange contracts. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had recorded (losses) net of $(1) million and $(1) million, respectively, related to these foreign currency exchange contracts.
    In the event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the foreign currency forward contracts, the Company’s exposure is limited to the aggregate foreign currency rate differential with such institutions.
 
    During 2011 and 2010, the Company entered into several contracts to manage its exposure to increases in the price of copper and zinc. Based upon period-end market prices, the Company had recorded assets of $6 million and $7 million to reflect contract prices at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Gains (losses) related to these contracts are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of income in cost of goods sold. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had recorded (losses) net of $(1) million and $(1) million, respectively, related to these commodity contracts.

    Stock Options
 
    Stock options are granted to key employees of the Company. The exercise price equals the market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. These options generally become exercisable (vest ratably) over five years beginning on the first anniversary from the date of grant and expire no later than 10 years after the grant date.
 
    The Company granted 2,372,500 of stock option shares in the six months ended June 30, 2011 with a grant date exercise price approximating $13 per share. In the first six months of 2011, 2,591,700 stock option shares were forfeited (including options that expired unexercised).

Employee Retirement Plans
Employee Retirement Plans
Pension And Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure
I.   The Company sponsors qualified defined-benefit or defined-contribution retirement plans for most of its employees. In addition to the Company’s qualified defined-benefit pension plans, the Company has unfunded non-qualified defined-benefit pension plans covering certain employees, which provide for benefits in addition to those provided by the qualified pension plans. Substantially all salaried employees participate in non-contributory defined-contribution retirement plans, to which payments are determined annually by the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
 
    During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company adjusted certain employee expense related accruals which resulted in a $5 million reduction to expenses related to the fourth quarter of 2010. The effect was not material to the previously issued financial statements.
 
    Effective January 1, 2010, the Company froze all future benefit accruals under substantially all of the Company’s domestic qualified and non-qualified defined-benefit pension plans. Future benefit accruals related to the Company’s foreign non-qualified plans were frozen several years ago.

    At December 31, 2010, the Company reported a net liability of $522 million, of which $163 million was related to our non-qualified, supplemental retirement plans, which are not subject to the funding requirements of the Pension Protection Act. In accordance with the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the Adjusted Funding Target Attainment Percentage (“AFTAP”) for the various defined-benefit pension plans ranges from 62 percent to 86 percent. At December 31, 2010, the Company had one plan that offered accelerated benefits (i.e., lump sum distributions) and the AFTAP for that plan is less than 80 percent; therefore, the plan is prohibited from allowing participants to receive any lump sum distribution in excess of 50 percent of the benefit value. In addition, plan amendments increasing benefits or liabilities for that plan are also prohibited.

    For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company allocated dividends to the unvested restricted stock awards (participating securities).
 
    At June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not include any common shares related to the Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Notes (“Notes”) in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share, as the price of the Company’s common stock at June 30, 2011 and 2010 did not exceed the equivalent accreted value of the Notes.
 
    Additionally, 36 million common shares and 37 million common shares, respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 37 million common shares and 38 million common shares, respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 related to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share due to their antidilutive effect.
    In the first six months of 2011, the Company granted 2 million shares of long-term stock awards; to offset the dilutive impact of these awards, the Company also repurchased and retired approximately 2 million shares of Company common stock, for cash aggregating $30 million. At June 30, 2011, the Company had 25 million shares of its common stock remaining under the July 2007 Board of Directors repurchase authorization.
 
    On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share were $.075 ($.075) and $.15 ($.15), respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
Other Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure
M.   The Company is subject to lawsuits and pending or asserted claims with respect to matters generally arising in the ordinary course of business.
    As previously disclosed, a lawsuit was brought against the Company and a number of its insulation installation companies alleging that certain of their practices violated provisions of the federal antitrust laws. The case was filed in October 2004 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by Columbus Drywall & Insulation, Inc., Leo Jones Insulation, Inc., Southland Insulators, Inc., Southland Insulators of Maryland, Inc. d/b/a Devere Insulation, Southland Insulators of Delaware LLC d/b/a Delmarva Insulation, and Whitson Insulation Company of Grand Rapids, Inc. against the Company, its subsidiaries Masco Contractors Services Group Corp., Masco Contractor Services Central, Inc. (“MCS Central”) and Masco Contractor Services East, Inc., and several insulation manufacturers (the “Columbus Drywall case”). In February 2009, the court certified a class of 377 insulation contractors. Another suit was filed in March 2003 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by Wilson Insulation Company, Wilson Insulation of Augusta, Inc. and The Wilson Insulation Group, Inc. against the Company, Masco Contractor Services, Inc., and MCS Central that alleged anticompetitive conduct. This case has been removed from the court’s active docket. In March 2007, Albert Von Der Werth and Valerie Good filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company, its subsidiary Masco Contractor Services, and several insulation manufacturers seeking class action status and alleging anticompetitive conduct. This case was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and has been administratively stayed by the court. An additional suit, which was filed in September 2005 and alleged anticompetitive conduct, was dismissed with prejudice in December 2006.
 
    The Company is vigorously defending the Columbus Drywall case. Based upon the advice of its outside counsel, the Company believes that the conduct of the Company and its insulation installation companies, which is the subject of the above-described lawsuits, has not violated any antitrust laws. The Company is unable at this time to reliably estimate any potential liability which might occur from an adverse judgment. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will ultimately prevail in these lawsuits, or, if unsuccessful, that the ultimate liability would not be material and would not have a material adverse effect on its businesses or the methods used by its insulation installation companies in doing business.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
ncome Tax Disclosure
N.   The effective tax rate was 138 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to net operating losses and losses in certain jurisdictions providing no tax benefit.
 
    As a result of tax audit closings, settlements and expiration of applicable statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions within the next 12 months, the Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the liability for uncertain tax positions could be reduced by approximately $6 million.
Accounting Policies (Policies)
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
