5.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is exposed to, among other risks, the impact of changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates in the normal course of business. The Company’s risk management program is designed to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks, and utilizes derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. The Company uses derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to hedge identified business risks, and does not enter into such transactions for trading purposes.
The Company generally does not require collateral or other security with counterparties to these financial instruments and is therefore subject to credit risk in the event of nonperformance; however, the Company monitors credit risk and currently does not anticipate nonperformance by other parties. Contracts with counterparties generally contain right of offset provisions. These provisions effectively reduce the Company’s exposure to credit risk in situations where the Company has gain and loss positions outstanding with a single counterparty. It is the Company’s policy to offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets the amounts recognized for derivative instruments with any cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company did not have any amounts on deposit with any of its counterparties, nor did any of its counterparties have any amounts on deposit with the Company.
Derivative Fair Values

Our derivatives consist of natural gas forward swaps, cross-currency swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts and U.S. treasury rate lock agreements, all of which are over-the-counter and not traded through an exchange. The Company uses widely accepted valuation tools to determine fair value, such as discounting cash flows to calculate a present value for the derivatives. The models use Level 2 inputs, such as forward curves and other commonly quoted observable transactions and prices. The fair value of our derivatives and hedging instruments are all classified as Level 2 investments within the three-tier hierarchy.

The following table presents the fair value of derivatives and hedging instruments and the respective location on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

Cash Flow Hedges
The Company uses a combination of derivative financial instruments, which qualify as cash flow hedges, and physical contracts to manage forecasted exposure to electricity and natural gas prices. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the notional amounts of these natural gas forward swaps was 42 million MMBtu (or MMBtu equivalent) based on U.S. and European indices.
In March 2020, the Company entered into a $175 million forward U.S. Treasury rate lock agreement to manage the U.S. Treasury portion of its interest rate risk associated with the anticipated issuance of certain 10-year fixed rate senior notes before the end of 2022. The Company intends to cash settle this agreement upon a future issuance of certain senior notes thereby effectively locking in the U.S. Treasury fixed interest rate in effect at the time the agreement was initiated.

6.5.     GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently should circumstances change or events occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

First QuarterNo testing was deemed necessary in the first six months of 2020 Impairment Charge2021. The changes in the net carrying value of goodwill by segment are as follows (in millions):

CompositesInsulationRoofingTotal
Balance at December 31, 2020$57 $532 $400 $989 
Additions
Foreign Currency Translation(1)(5)(1)(7)
Balance at June 30, 2021$59 $527 $399 $985 
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company’s significant share price reduction during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic was determined to be an indicator of impairment under ASC 350. As of the end of the first quarter, theThe COVID-19 pandemic was expected to have a negative impact on results for the remainder of 2020 and create near-term uncertainty in our markets.

As of the most recent annual goodwill impairment testing date (October 1, 2019), testing indicated that the business enterprise value for the Insulation reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. As described in our 2019 Form 10-K, there was uncertainty surrounding the macroeconomic factors impacting this reporting unit and a downturn in these factors or a change in the long-term revenue growth or profitability for this reporting unit could increase the likelihood of a future impairment.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company performed its ongoing assessment to consider whether events or circumstances had occurred that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The valuation limitation from the Company’s share price decline in the first quarter of 2020, the narrow cushion on the Insulation reporting unit and the high level of near-term macroeconomic uncertainty caused the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2020 over the Insulation reporting unit. After evaluating and weighing all relevant events and circumstances, and considering the substantial excess fair values for the Roofing and Composites reporting units, we concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of these reporting units were less than their carrying values. Consequently, we determined that it was not necessary to perform an interim impairment test for the Roofing and Composites reporting units.

Based on the results of this interim testing over the Insulation reporting unit, the Company recorded a $944 million pre-tax non-cash impairment charge in the first quarter of 2020. This charge was recorded in Goodwill impairment charge on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss), and was included in the Corporate, Other and Eliminations reporting category. Consistent with the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-04 in the first quarter of 2020, the impairment charge was equal to the excess of the Insulation reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value. The overall enterprise fair value of the Company was limited by the decline in our share price in the first quarter of 2020. The reduction in fair value for the Insulation reporting unit, and corresponding impairment charge, was primarily driven by an increase in the discount rate arising from higher equity risk premiums that reflect significant uncertainty surrounding the effect from the COVID-19 pandemic and a decrease in the reporting unit's forecasted near-term cash flows.

As part of our quantitative testing process for goodwill of the Insulation reporting unit, we estimated fair values using a discounted cash flow analysis, a form of the income approach, from the perspective of a market participant. Significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow approach are revenue growth rates and EBIT margins used in estimating discrete period cash flow forecasts of the reporting unit, the discount rate, and the long-term revenue growth rate and EBIT margins used in estimating the terminal business value. The terminal business value is determined by applying the long-term growth rate to the latest year for which a forecast exists.

Ongoing 2020 Impairment Indicator Assessment

During the second and third quarters of 2020, the Company performed its quarterly assessment to identify potential indicators of impairment for each of its reporting units. Among qualitative and quantitative factors considered, management reviewed key assumptions and information, including updated macroeconomic indicators that impact the markets we serve, financial forecast information for each reporting unit, and recent performance of the Company’s share price to perform this assessment. The Company did not identify any impairment indicators for any of its reporting units during the second or third quarter of 2020 and determined that it was not more likely than not that the carrying value of any of its reporting units exceeded their respective fair values. Consequently, we determined that it was not necessary to perform an interim impairment test for goodwill. We will continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and significant changes in other key assumptions that could result in future period impairment charges.
The changes in the net carrying value of goodwill by segment are as follows (in millions):

Balance at September 30, 2020$56 $522 $398 $976 
The remaining balance of goodwill for the Insulation reporting unit continues to be at risk for future impairment. There continues to be uncertainty surrounding the macroeconomic factors impacting this reporting unit, and a sustained downturn, significantly extended recovery, or a change in the long-term revenue growth or profitability for this reporting unit could increase the likelihood of an additional future impairment. Additionally, changes in market participant assumptions such as an increased discount rate or significant share price reductions could increase the likelihood of an additional future impairment.
Other Intangible Assets
The Company amortizes the cost of other intangible assets over their estimated useful lives which, individually, range up to 45 years. The Company's future cash flows are not materially impacted by its ability to extend or renew agreements related to its amortizable intangible assets.

5.     GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)

In the first quarter of 2020, we performed an interim impairment test of certain indefinite-lived trademarks and trade names used by our Insulation segment, based on the macroeconomic conditions that precipitated the interim goodwill impairment test described above.
Based on the results of this testing, the Company recorded pre-tax non-cash impairment charges totaling $43 million in the first quarter of 2020 related to 2 of the Insulation trademarks and trade names. These charges were recorded in Other (income) expenses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss), and were included in the Corporate, Other and Eliminations reporting category.
Fair values used in testing for potentialNon-cash impairment of our trademarks are calculated using the relief-from-royalty method by applying an estimated market value royalty rate to the forecasted revenues of the businesses that utilize those assets. The assumed cash flows from this calculation are discounted atcharges included a rate based on a market participant discount rate.

6.     GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)

A pre-tax impairment charge of $34 million for a trade name used by our European building and technical insulation business, was recognized in the first quarter of 2020 due to the combined effect of lower expected sales following an immaterial divestiture in the first quarter of 2020, a decrease in the forecasted near-term cash flows, and a higher discount rate associated with the economic impact and uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic. A pre-tax impairment charge of $9 million related to a trademark used on global cellular glass insulation products was recorded in the first quarter of 2020 due to a slightly lower sales outlook and a similarly higher discount rate associated with the economic impact and uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic.

11.10.    PENSION PLANS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Pension Plans
The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans. Under the plans, pension benefits are based on an employee’s years of service and, for certain categories of employees, qualifying compensation. Company contributions to these pension plans are determined by an independent actuary to meet or exceed minimum funding requirements. In our non-U.S. plans, the unrecognized cost of any retroactive amendments and actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average future service period of plan participants expected to receive benefits. In our U.S. plans, the unrecognized cost of any retroactive amendments and actuarial gains and losses are amortized over the average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants as substantially all of the plan participants are inactive.

12.11.    CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS

The Company may be involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings relating to employment, antitrust, tax, product liability, environmental, contracts, intellectual property and other matters (collectively, “Proceedings”). The Company regularly reviews the status of such Proceedings along with legal counsel. Liabilities for such Proceedings are recorded when it is probable that the liability has been incurred and when the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Liabilities are adjusted when additional information becomes available. Management believes that the amount of any reasonably possible losses in excess of any amounts accrued, if any, with respect to such Proceedings or any other known claim, including the matters described below under the caption Environmental Matters (the “Environmental Matters”), are not material to the Company’s financial statements. Management believes that the ultimate disposition of the Proceedings and the Environmental Matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. While the likelihood is remote, the disposition of the Proceedings and Environmental Matters could have a material impact on the results of operations, cash flows or liquidity in any given reporting period.
Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings

The Company is involved in litigation and regulatory proceedings from time to time in the regular course of its business. The Company believes that adequate provisions for resolution of all contingencies, claims and pending matters have been made for probable losses that are reasonably estimable.

Environmental Matters

The Company has established policies and procedures designed to ensure that its operations are conducted in compliance with all relevant laws and regulations and that enable the Company to meet its high standards for corporate sustainability and environmental stewardship. Our manufacturing facilities are subject to numerous foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the presence of hazardous materials, pollution and protection of the environment, including emissions to air, reductions of greenhouse gases, discharges to water, management of hazardous materials, handling and disposal of solid wastes, use of chemicals in our manufacturing processes, and remediation of contaminated sites. All Company manufacturing facilities operate using an ISO 14001 or equivalent environmental management system. The Company’s 2030 Sustainability Goals include significant global reductions in energy use, water consumption, waste to landfill, and emissions of greenhouse gases, fine particulate matter, and volatile organic air emissions, and protection of biodiversity.

12.11.    CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND OTHER MATTERS (continued)
Owens Corning is involved in remedial response activities and is responsible for environmental remediation at a number of sites, including certain of its currently owned or formerly owned plants. These responsibilities arise under a number of laws, including, but not limited to, the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and similar state or local laws pertaining to the management and remediation of hazardous materials and petroleum. The Company has also been named a potentially responsible party under the U.S. Federal Superfund law, or state equivalents, at a number of disposal sites. The Company became involved in these sites as a result of government action or in connection with business acquisitions. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company was involved with a total of 21 sites worldwide, including 8 Superfund and state equivalent sites and 13 owned or formerly owned sites. None of the liabilities for these sites are individually significant to the Company.

Remediation activities generally involve a potential range of activities and costs related to soil, groundwater, and sediment contamination. This can include pre-cleanup activities such as fact-finding and investigation, risk assessment, feasibility studies, remedial action design and implementation (where actions may range from monitoring to removal of contaminants, to installation of longer-term remediation systems). A number of factors affect the cost of environmental remediation, including the number of parties involved in a particular site, the determination of the extent of contamination, the length of time the remediation may require, the complexity of environmental regulations, variability in clean-up standards, the need for legal action, and changes in remediation technology. Taking these factors into account, Owens Corning has predicted the costs of remediation reasonably estimated to be paid over a period of years. The Company accrues an amount on an undiscounted basis, consistent with the reasonable estimates of these costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred. Actual cost may differ from these estimates for the reasons mentioned above. At SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company had an accrual totaling $7$4 million for these costs, of which the current portion is $3$1 million. Changes in required remediation procedures or timing of those procedures, or discovery of contamination at additional sites, could result in material increases to the Company’s environmental obligations.

Stock Options
The Company has granted stock options under its stockholder approved stock plans. The Company calculates a weighted-average grant-date fair value using a Black-Scholes valuation model for options granted. Compensation expense for options is measured based on the fair market value of the option on the date of grant, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over a four year vesting period. In general, the exercise price of each option awarded was equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and an option’s maximum term is 10 years. The volatility assumption was based on a benchmark study of our peers prior to 2014. Starting with the options granted in 2014, the volatility was based on the Company’s historic volatility.
The Company has not granted stock options since the year ended December 31, 2014. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and the range of exercise prices on outstanding stock options was $33.73$37.65 - $42.16.

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units
The Company has granted restricted stock awards and restricted stock units (collectively referred to as “RSUs”) under its stockholder approved stock plans. Compensation expense for RSUs is measured based on the closing market price of the stock at date of grant and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which is typically three or four years. The Stock Plan allows alternate vesting schedules for death, disability, and retirement. The weighted average grant date fair value of RSUs granted in 20202021 was $63.32.$83.26.

That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.322.51 years. The total grant date fair value of shares vested during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 and 2020 and 2019 was $22$24 million and $20$21 million, respectively.
Performance StockShare Awards and Performance StockShare Units
The Company has granted performance stockshare awards and performance stockshare units (collectively referred to as “PSUs”) as a part of its long-term incentive plan. All outstanding performance grants will fully settle in stock. The amount of stock ultimately distributed from all performance shares is contingent on meeting internal company-based metrics or an external-based stock performance metric.
In the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company granted both internal company-based and external-based metric PSUs.
Internal Company-based metrics
The internal company-based metrics are based on various Company metrics and typically vest over a three-year period. The amount of stock distributed will vary from 0% to 300% of PSUs awarded depending on each award's design and performance versus the internal Company-based metrics.
The initial fair value for all internal Company-based metric PSUs assumes that the performance goals will be achieved and is based on the grant date stock price. This assumption is monitored quarterly and if it becomes probable that such goals will not be achieved or will be exceeded, compensation expense recognized will be adjusted and previous surplus compensation expense recognized will be reversed or additional expense will be recognized. The expected term represents the period from the grant date to the end of the vesting period. Pro-rata vesting may be utilized in the case of death, disability or approved retirement and awards, if earned, will be paid at the end of the vesting period.
External-based metrics
The external-based metrics vest after a three-year period. Outstanding grants issued in or after 2018 are based on the Company's total stockholder return relative to the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Construction & Materials Index. The amount of stock distributed will vary from 0% to 200% of PSUs awarded depending on the relative stockholder return performance. The fair value of external-based metric PSUs has been estimated at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation that uses various assumptions.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Owens Corning Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) is a tax-qualified plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purchase price of shares purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of shares of Owens Corning common stock at the beginning or ending of the offering period, which is a six-month period ending on May 31 and November 30 of each year. When the initial plan was approved in 2013, 2.0 million shares were available for purchase under the ESPP.

The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 is 21%. The effective tax rate was positively impacted by final regulations on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), offset by the impact of taxes on foreign earnings,primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, excess tax benefits related to stock compensation, and other discrete adjustments. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, adjustments to valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets, excess tax benefits related to stock compensation, and other discrete adjustments.

The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, and other discrete adjustments. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily a result of charges related to the impairment of goodwill and certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets recorded in the first quarter of 2020, which were mostly non-deductible. In addition, non-cashNon-cash charges of $15$18 million were recorded related to adjustments to valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets. The remaining difference between the statutory rate of 21% and the effective rate was driven by the impact of recording U.S. state and local income tax expense and U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings.

On July 20, 2020 the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations under IRC Section 951A permitting a taxpayer to elect to exclude from its inclusion of GILTI items of income subject to a high effective rate of foreign tax. As a result of the final regulations, the Company recorded a net non-cash income tax benefit of $13 million in the third quarter of 2020 relating to the 2018 and 2019 tax years and an increase in the valuation allowance.

The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings and other discrete adjustments. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, legislative changes and other discrete adjustments.

On March 6, 2019, the U.S. Treasury and the IRS proposed regulations that provide guidance on determining the amount of a domestic corporation’s deduction for the GILTI and foreign-derived intangible income (FDII) recently added by the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act"). The proposed regulations provide special rules in determining the deduction amount which adjusted the Company’s 2018 tax estimate resulting in an increase to tax expense of $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company continues to assertits current practice of asserting indefinite reinvestment in accordance with ASC 740 based on the laws as of enactment of the Tax Act.

16.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 13, 2021, the Company acquired vliepa GmbH ("vliepa"), which specializes in the coating, printing, and finishing of nonwovens, paper, and film for the building materials industry in Europe, for approximately $40 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition broadens the Company’s significant global nonwovens portfolio to better serve European customers and accelerate growth of building and construction market applications in the region. Operating results of the acquisition will be included in the Company’s Composites segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning July 13, 2021. The Company is in the process of valuing certain assets and liabilities, and the purchase price allocation will be completed with the finalization of these valuations.

On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the Company’s Insulation site in Santa Clara, California to commercial real estate developer Panattoni for expected gross proceeds of approximately $240 million, including a non-refundable deposit of $50 million received at signing. The Company expects to continue operations at this facility through third-quarter 2022 and complete the transaction in first-quarter 2023. This action is part of the Company’s on-going strategy to operate a flexible, cost-efficient manufacturing network and geographically locate its assets to better service its customers. Cumulative cash pre-tax charges associated with the transaction are expected to be in the range of $30 million to $40 million, primarily related to severance and one-time employee termination benefits, demolition costs, and other closing costs. In addition, cumulative non-cash charges are expected to be in the range of $75 million to $85 million, primarily consisting of accelerated depreciation of property, plant and equipment and derecognition of the carrying value of land, which will offset the gross proceeds at closing.

NET SALES
In the thirdsecond quarter 2020,and year-to-date 2021, net sales increased $21$614 million and $928 million, respectively, compared to the same periodperiods in 2019. Year-to-date net sales decreased $338 million compared to the same period in 2019.2020. For the thirdsecond quarter and year-to-date, the increase in net sales was driven by the impact of higher sales volumes in our Roofing segment partially offset by lower selling prices in all three segments. For the year-to-date comparison, the decrease in net sales was driven by the impact of lower sales volumes and lowerhigher selling prices in all three segments.
GROSS MARGIN
In the thirdsecond quarter 2020,and year-to-date 2021, gross margin increased $16$275 million and $413 million, respectively, compared to the same periodperiods in 2019. Year-to-date gross margin decreased $100 million compared to the same period in 2019.2020. For the thirdsecond quarter and year-to-date, the increase in gross margin was driven primarily by favorable manufacturing performancethe impact of higher sales volumes and higher selling prices in all three segments and higher sales volumes in our Roofing segment. For the year-to-date comparison, the decrease in gross margin was driven by lower selling prices and lower sales volumes in all three segments, and production curtailment actions, most notably in our Composites segment.segments.
MARKETING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
In the thirdsecond quarter 2020,and year-to-date 2021, marketing and administrative expenses were largely flat.increased $37 million and $32 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020. For the second quarter and year-to-date, 2020,the increase in marketing and administrative expenses decreased $34 million comparedwas driven primarily by higher performance-based compensation associated with an improved outlook for 2021 and higher general corporate expenses as business activities return to the same period in 2019.

OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSES, NET
In the second quarter and year-to-date 2021, other (income) expenses, net decreased $23 million and $103 million, respectively, compared to the same period in 2020. For the second quarter, the decrease was driven primarily by $12 million of higher gains on sale of precious metals used in production tooling as needs changed in response to economic and technological factors and $4 million of lower restructuring costs. For the year-to-date comparison, the decrease was driven by the favorable comparison year-over-year to intangible asset impairment charges of $43 million recognized in 2020. The remaining difference was driven by $25 million of gains on settlements from contracts to purchase and sell wind-generated electricity, $22 million of higher gains on sale of precious metals and $8 million of lower restructuring costs.
INTEREST EXPENSE, NET
In the thirdsecond quarter and year-to-date 2020,2021, interest expense, net was largely flat compared to the same periods in 2019.2020.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income tax expense for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 was $56$97 million and $119$156 million, respectively. For the thirdsecond quarter 2020,2021, the Company's effective tax rate was 21%25% and for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company's effective tax rate was (24)%24%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 is 21%. The effective tax rate was positively impacted by final regulations on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), offset by the impact of taxes on foreign earnings,primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, excess tax benefits related to stock compensation, and other discrete adjustments. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2021 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, adjustments to valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets, excess tax benefits related to stock compensation, and other discrete adjustments.
The realization of deferred tax assets depends on achieving a certain minimum level of future taxable income. Management currently believes that it is at least reasonably possible that the minimum level of taxable income will be met within the next 12 months to reduce the valuation allowances of certain foreign jurisdictions by a range of zero to $2 million.

Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $39 million and $63 million, respectively. For the second quarter 2020, the Company's effective tax rate was 29% and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company's effective tax rate was (8)%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, and other discrete adjustments. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily a result of charges related to the impairment of goodwill and certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets recorded in the first quarter of 2020, which were mostly non-deductible. Non-cash charges of $15$18 million were recorded related to adjustments to valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets. The remaining difference between the statutory rate of 21% and the effective rate was driven by the impact of recording U.S. state and local income tax expense and U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings.

On July 20, 2020 the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations under IRC Section 951A permitting a taxpayer to elect to exclude from its inclusion of GILTI items of income subject to a high effective rate of foreign tax. As a result of the final regulations, the Company recorded a net non-cash income tax benefit of $13 million in the third quarter of 2020 relating to the 2018 and 2019 tax years and an increase in the valuation allowance.
The realization of deferred tax assets depends on achieving a certain minimum level of future taxable income. Management currently believes that an immaterial amount of valuation allowances of certain foreign jurisdictions could be reduced within the next 12 months.

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $61 million and $159 million, respectively. For the third quarter 2019, the Company's effective tax rate was 29% and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company's effective tax rate was 32%. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings and other discrete adjustments. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to U.S. state and local income tax expense, the impact of U.S. federal taxes on foreign earnings, legislative changes and other discrete adjustments.

On March 6, 2019, the U.S. Treasury and the IRS proposed regulations that provide guidance on determining the amount of a domestic corporation’s deduction for the GILTI and foreign-derived intangible income (FDII) recently added by the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”). The proposed regulations provide special rules in determining the deduction amount which adjusted the Company’s 2018 tax estimate resulting in an increase to tax expense of $12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes
Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain items that management does not allocate to our segment results because it believes they are not representative of the Company's ongoing operations. Adjusted EBIT is used internally by the Company for various purposes, including reporting results of operations to the Board of Directors of the Company, analysis of performance and related employee compensation measures. Although management believes that these adjustments result in a measure that provides a useful representation of our operational performance, the adjusted measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for Net earnings (loss) attributable to Owens Corning as prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

EBIT

In our Composites segment, EBIT in the second quarter of 2021 increased $92 million compared to the same period in 2020. The impact of higher sales volumes, higher selling prices and favorable customer mix drove the majority of the increase. The favorable comparison year-over-year to curtailment costs in 2020 provided additional benefit of $33 million. Input cost inflation of $12 million and higher transportation costs of $8 million were offset by favorable manufacturing performance.

For the year-to-date 2021, EBIT in our Composites segment increased $127 million compared to the same period in 2020. The impact of higher sales volumes, higher selling prices and favorable customer mix drove the majority of the increase. The favorable comparison year-over-year to curtailment costs in 2020 provided additional benefit of $37 million. Input cost inflation of $16 million and higher transportation costs of $10 million were offset by favorable manufacturing performance.

OUTLOOK

Global glass reinforcements market demand has historically been correlated with global industrial production and we believe this relationship will continue. In 2021, the Company expects continued global industrial production growth, though at lower levels than experienced in the first half of 2021 due to the favorable comparison to the first half of 2020, which was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Uncertainties that may impact our Composites financial results include the cost and availability of input materials.

In our Insulation segment, EBIT in the third quarter of 2020 decreased $11 million compared to the same period in 2019. The decline was primarily driven by lower selling prices of $6 million and unfavorable customer and product mix. Favorable manufacturing performance of $8 million was largely offset by the unfavorable impact of production curtailment actions and higher delivery costs.

For the year-to-date 2020, EBIT in our Insulation segment increased $3 million compared to the same period in 2019. The favorable impact of manufacturing performance and the $5 million gain on the divestiture of an immaterial business in the first quarter of 2020 was offset by lower selling prices of $18 million and the unfavorable impact of customer and product mix. The $16 million favorable impact of lower selling, general and administrative expenses was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of production curtailment actions and higher deliverytransportation costs.
OUTLOOK
The outlook for Insulation demand is driven by North American new residential construction, remodeling and repair activity, as well as commercial and industrial construction activity in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Demand in commercial and industrial insulation markets is most closely correlated to industrial production growth and overall economic activity in the global markets we serve. Demand for residential insulation is most closely correlated to lagged U.S. housing starts.
During the thirdsecond quarter of 2020,2021, the average Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) of U.S. housing starts was approximately 1.4301.568 million, up from an annual average of approximately 1.2881.086 million starts in the thirdsecond quarter of 2019.
Through the third quarter of 2020, the North American new residential construction recovery has continued to accelerate, while global commercial and industrial construction activity has recovered at a slower pace.2020. The Company expects continued growth in the SAAR of U.S. housing starts in the second half of 2021, though at lower levels than experienced in the first half of 2021 due to the favorable comparison to the first half of 2020, which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to create uncertainty in its end markets.

The unfavorable impact of lower selling prices and lower sales volumes was more than offset by $63 million of input cost deflation, primarily asphalt.$46 million.
OUTLOOK

In our Roofing segment, we expect the factors that have driven strong margins in recent years, such as growth from remodeling demand, along with higher sales of roofing components, to continue to deliver profitability. Uncertainties that may impact our Roofing margins include demand from storm and other weather events, demand from new construction, competitive pricing pressure and the cost and availability of raw materials, particularly asphalt.input materials.

Despite recent strength in the U.S. asphalt shingle market, the Company expects the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to create uncertainty in its end markets.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS
Liquidity
The Company's primary external sources of liquidity are its Senior Revolving Credit Facility and its Receivables Securitization Facility (each as defined below).

The Company has an $800 million senior revolving credit facility (the "Senior Revolving Credit Facility") that has been amended from time to time with atime. In July 2021, the Senior Revolving Credit Facility was amended to extend the maturity date in May 2024.to July 2026.
The Company has a $280 million receivables securitization facility (the "Receivables Securitization Facility") that has been amended from time to time, which matures intime. In April 2022.2021, the Receivables Securitization Facility was amended to extend the maturity date to April 2024.
The following table shows how the Company utilized its primary sources of liquidity (in millions):

The Company issued $300 million of 2030 senior notes on May 12, 2020 subject to $3 million of discounts and issuance costs. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 each year, beginning on December 1, 2020. The proceeds from these notes were used for general corporate purposes.
The Receivables Securitization Facility and Senior Revolving Credit Facility mature in 20222024 and 2024,2026, respectively. The Company also had a term loan (the "Term Loan"), which required minimum quarterly principal repayments and full repayment by February 2021. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company repaid all outstanding borrowings on the Term Loan. The Company has no significant debt maturities of senior notes before the fourth quarter of 2022. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, the Company had $3.1$3.2 billion of total debt and cash and cash equivalents of $647$888 million.
Cash and cash equivalents held by foreign subsidiaries may be subject to foreign withholding taxes upon repatriation to the U.S. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2020,2021, and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company had $59$118 million and $30$71 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. The Company continues to assert indefinite reinvestment in accordance with ASC 740 based on the laws as of enactment of the tax legislation commonly known as the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
As a holding company, we have no operations of our own and most of our assets are held by our direct and indirect subsidiaries. Dividends and other payments or distributions from our subsidiaries will be used to meet our debt service and other obligations and to enable us to pay dividends to our stockholders. Please refer to page 1315 of the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 (the "2019"2020 Form 10-K") for details on the factors that could inhibit our subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to the parent company.
Our anticipated uses of cash include capital expenditures, working capital needs, pension contributions, share repurchases, meeting financial obligations, payments of quarterly dividends as authorized by our Board of Directors, acquisitions and reducing outstanding amounts under the Senior Revolving Credit Facility and Receivables Securitization Facility. A sustained significant decrease in revenue in the U.S. or excessive aging of the underlying receivables, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, could materially affect the collateral capacity limitation on the availability under the Receivables Securitization Facility.acquisitions. We

expect that our cash on hand, coupled with future cash flows from operations and other available sources of liquidity, including our Senior Revolving Credit Facility and, to the extent available, our Receivables Securitization Facility, will provide ample liquidity to enable us to meet our cash requirements.
The agreements governing our Senior Revolving Credit Facility and Receivables Securitization Facility contain various covenants that we believe are usual and customary. These covenants include a maximum allowed leverage ratio and a minimum required interest expense coverage ratio. We were in compliance with these covenants as of SeptemberJune 30, 2020.2021. In July 2021, the Senior Revolving Credit Facility was amended to eliminate the minimum required interest expense coverage ratio covenant.

Supplier Finance Programs
We review supplier terms and conditions on an ongoing basis, and have negotiated payment terms extensions in recent years in connection with our efforts to reduce working capital and improve cash flow.Separate from those terms extension actions, certain of our subsidiaries have entered into paying agency agreements with third-party administrators.These voluntary supply chain finance programs (collectively, the “Programs”) generally give participating suppliers the ability to sell, or otherwise pledge as collateral, their receivables from the Company to the participating financial institutions, at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and financial institutions.The Company is not a party to the arrangements between the suppliers and the financial institutions. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions to sell, or otherwise pledge as collateral, amounts under these arrangements.One of our programs includes a parent guarantee to the participating financial institution for a certain U.S. subsidiary that, at the time of the respective program’s inception in 2015, was a guarantor subsidiary of the Company’s Senior Revolving Credit Facility.
The payables associated with suppliers choosing to voluntarily participate in the Programs were presented as accounts payable within Total current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and totaled $185 million and $170 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The amounts paid that are associated with suppliers once they chose to voluntarily participate in the Programs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $235 million, and $181 million, respectively, with all activity related to the obligations presented within operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The desire of suppliers and financial institutions to participate in the Programs could be negatively impacted by, among other factors, the availability of capital committed by the participating financial institutions, the cost and availability of our suppliers’ capital, a credit rating downgrade or deteriorating financial performance of the Company or its participating subsidiaries, or other changes in financial markets beyond our control.We do not expect these risks, or potential long-term growth of our programs, to materially affect our overall financial condition, as we expect a significant portion of our payments to continue to be made outside of the Programs.Accordingly, we do not believe the programs have materially impacted our current period liquidity, and do not believe that the programs are reasonably likely to materially affect liquidity in the future.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Impairment of Assets

The Company exercises judgment in evaluating assets for impairment. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or when circumstances arise which could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These tests require comparing recorded values to estimated fair values for the assets under review.

Our reporting units represent a business for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results. The Company has three reporting units: Composites, Insulation and Roofing.

First Quarter of 2020 Goodwill Impairment Charge

As of the most recent annual goodwill impairment testing date (October 1, 2019), testing indicated that the business enterprise value for the Insulation reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10%. As described in our 2019 Form 10-K, there was uncertainty surrounding the macroeconomic factors impacting this reporting unit and a downturn in these factors or a change in the long-term revenue growth or profitability for this reporting unit could increase the likelihood of a future impairment. Accordingly, the Insulation reporting unit was the reporting unit most susceptible to an impairment during an economic downturn.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company performed its ongoing assessment to consider whether events or circumstances had occurred that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The valuation limitation from the Company’s share price decline during the first quarter of 2020, the narrow cushion on the Insulation reporting unit and the high level of near-term macroeconomic uncertainty caused the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2020 over the Insulation reporting unit. After evaluating and weighing all relevant events and circumstances, and considering the substantial excess fair values for these reporting units, we concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the Roofing and Composites reporting units were less than their carrying values. Consequently, we determined that it was not necessary to perform an interim impairment test for the Roofing and Composites reporting units.

As part of our quantitative testing process for goodwill of the Insulation reporting unit, we estimated fair values using a discounted cash flow analysis, a form of the income approach, from the perspective of a market participant. Significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis were revenue growth rates and EBIT margins used in estimating discrete period cash flow forecasts of the reporting unit, the discount rate, and the long-term revenue growth rate and EBIT margins used in estimating the terminal business value. For our interim test, the cash flow forecasts of the reporting unit were based upon management’s near-term and long-term views of our markets and represented the forecasts used by senior management and the Board of Directors to operate the business during the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluate operating performance in the first quarter of 2020. The discount rate utilized was management’s estimate of what the market’s weighted average cost of capital is for a company with a similar debt rating and stock volatility, as measured by beta, which included an additional risk premium due to uncertainty surrounding the level and pace of economic recovery. The terminal business value was determined by applying the long-term growth rate to the latest year for which a forecast exists. At the time of the analysis, the Company asserted that the Insulation reporting unit’s long-term market-size and profitability outlook had not meaningfully deteriorated since the time of our most recent annual impairment test. The overall enterprise fair value of the Company was limited by the decline in our share price in the first quarter of 2020. The reduction in fair value of the Insulation reporting unit, and corresponding impairment charge, was primarily driven by an increase in the discount rate arising from higher equity risk premiums that reflected significant uncertainty surrounding the effect that the COVID-19 pandemic would have on the reporting unit’s near-term cash flows and a decrease in the reporting unit's forecasted near-term cash flows. As part of our goodwill quantitative testing process, the Company evaluates whether there are reasonably likely changes to management’s estimates that would have a material impact on the results of the goodwill impairment testing. Please refer to Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on the impairment charge that was recorded in the first quarter of 2020.

Ongoing 2020 Goodwill Impairment Indicator Assessment

During the second and third quarters of 2020, the Company performed its quarterly assessment to identify potential impairment indicators for each of its reporting units. Among the qualitative and quantitative factors considered, management reviewed key assumptions and information, including updated macroeconomic indicators that impact the markets we serve, financial forecast information for each reporting unit, and recent performance of the Company’s share price to perform this assessment. The Company did not identify any impairment indicators for any of its reporting units during the second or third quarter of 2020 and determined that it was not more likely than not that the carrying value of any of its reporting units exceeded their respective fair values. Consequently, we determined that it was not necessary to perform an interim impairment test for goodwill. We will continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and significant changes in key assumptions that could result in future period impairment charges.

The following table summarizes the segment allocation of recorded goodwill on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2019 and, after giving effect to the first quarter 2020 impairment charge in our Insulation reporting unit, as of September 30, 2020 (in millions):

SegmentSeptember 30, 2020Percent of TotalDecember 31, 2019Percent of Total
Composites$56 %$57 %
Insulation522 53 %1,479 77 %
Roofing398 41 %396 20 %
Total goodwill$976 100 %$1,932 100 %

There continues to be uncertainty surrounding the macroeconomic factors for the Insulation reporting unit, and a sustained downturn, significantly extended recovery, or a change in the long-term revenue growth or profitability for this reporting unit could increase the likelihood of an additional future impairment. Additionally, changes in market participant assumptions such as an increased discount rate or further share price reductions could increase the likelihood of a future impairment.

First Quarter of 2020 Intangible Assets Impairment Charge

Other indefinite-lived intangible assets are the Company’s trademarks. Our most recent annual test of indefinite-lived intangibles was conducted as of October 1, 2019. The fair value of each of our indefinite-lived intangible assets was in excess of its carrying value and thus, no impairment existed. The fair value of these assets substantially exceeded the carrying value as of the date of that assessment.

During the first quarter of 2020, we performed an interim impairment test on certain trademarks and trade names used by our Insulation segment. Fair values used in testing for potential impairment of our trademarks were calculated by applying an estimated market value royalty rate to the forecasted revenues of the businesses that utilize those assets. The assumed cash flows from this calculation were discounted at a rate based on a market participant discount rate, which included a risk premium due to the near-term economic uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the projected revenue derived from the trademarks. For two assets used by our Insulation segment, the reduction in fair values, and corresponding impairment charges, were driven by a lower expected sales outlook, the compounding effect of lower expected sales following an immaterial divestiture in the first quarter of 2020 and a higher discount rate associated with the near-term economic uncertainty from the COVID-19 pandemic. Please refer to Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details on the impairment charges that were recorded in the first quarter of 2020.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Ongoing 2020 Indefinite-lived Intangible Asset Impairment Indicator Assessment

During the second and third quarters of 2020, the Company performed its quarterly assessment to identify any potential impairment indicators for each of its indefinite-lived intangible assets. Among qualitative and quantitative factors considered, management reviewed key assumptions and information, including updated macroeconomic indicators that impact the markets we serve and financial forecast information for each reporting unit. After evaluating and weighing all relevant events and circumstances, the Company did not identify any impairment indicators for any of its indefinite-lived intangible assets during the second or third quarter of 2020 and determined that it was not more likely than not that the carrying value of any of its indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their respective fair values. Consequently, we determined that it was not necessary to perform an interim impairment test for any indefinite-lived intangible assets. We will continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company and significant changes in key assumptions that could result in future period impairment charges.
There are two indefinite-lived intangible assets that are at an increased risk of impairment, both of which are used by our Insulation segment and were partially impaired in the first quarter of 2020. A change in the estimated long-term revenue growth rate or increase in the discount rate assumption could increase the likelihood of a future impairment. These affected assets had an aggregate carrying value of $257 million as of September 30, 2020.
Long-lived Asset Recoverability Assessment
There were no changes to the recoverability conclusions for our long-lived assets disclosed in our 2019 Form-10-K.
Changes in management intentions, market conditions, operating performance and other similar circumstances could affect the assumptions used in these impairment tests. Changes in the assumptions could result in impairment charges that could be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements in any given period.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

The information set forth in this report, including without limitation, the risk factor presented below, updates and should be read in conjunction with,There have been no material changes to the risk factors and information disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A., "Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Similar risk factors were also provided in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a significant impact on the Company's operations and results.

We have been managing matters related to the global COVID-19 pandemic, including the following impacts that we have experienced at various times since the first quarter of 2020:

We believe that COVID-19 placed downward pressure on demand for some of our products, on at least a temporary basis and caused us to curtail some of our operations as we attempted to balance demand with inventory and output.
Governmental authorities have implemented numerous measures to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business shutdowns. Some of these actions resulted in temporary curtailment of some operations and increased costs to operate certain facilities.
In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded an impairment to goodwill that was driven, at least in part, by an increase in the discount rate arising from higher equity risk premiums that reflected significant uncertainty surrounding the effect that COVID-19 would have on the Insulation reporting unit’s near-term cash flows.
The Company has focused on managing costs, capital expenditures and working capital during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to the pandemic, we implemented a number of precautionary and other measures to promote business continuity. These measures have been comprehensive and included initiatives regarding employee health and safety, working conditions (including remote working), engagements with customers and suppliers, financial management, operational efficiency, internal and external communications, government relations and community outreach. While we believe that all of these measures have been necessary or appropriate, they have resulted in additional costs and may adversely impact our business and financial performance in the future or expose us to additional unknown risks.

Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate impact of COVID-19, including on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows, such impacts may be material and may include:

shifting customer demand for our products in the markets that we serve around the world;
increased credit risk, including increased failure by customers experiencing business disruptions to make timely payments;
reduced availability and productivity of employees;
costs associated with production curtailments that are driven by governmental actions, customer demand or other causes related to COVID-19;
increased operational risks resulting from changes to operations and remote work arrangements, including the potential effects on internal controls and procedures, cybersecurity risks and increased vulnerability to security breaches, information technology disruptions and other similar events;
higher costs in certain areas such as transportation and distribution, as well as incremental costs associated with health screenings, temperature checks and enhanced cleaning and sanitation protocols to protect our employees and others;
delays and disruptions in the availability of and timely delivery of materials and equipment used in our operations, as well as increased costs for such materials and equipment;
a negative impact on our liquidity position, as well as increased costs and less ability to access funds under our existing credit facilities and the capital markets;
