How a Navy Seabee helped secure a new roof for a Horry County hero. In the Navy, the Seabees have a legendary motto: "Can Do." It's a spirit of ingenuity, hard work, and never leaving a job unfinished. Recently, that "Can Do" spirit was on full display in Horry County, but it wasn't on a military base. It was in the driveway of a Navy veteran and retired police officer who served its community for 30 years. The advocate in the family. The project began when Gregory's son-in-law, Eric, noticed a need. As a Navy Seabee himself and a founder of the Navy Seabee Veterans of America in South Carolina, Eric knows that veterans are often the last people to ask for help. "I feel if we weren't here to advocate for him, he wouldn't have anybody that could do that for him," Eric said while watching the new shingles go up. "And there's a lot of veterans in this community that are in the same circumstances." The partnership: building a shelter for a protector. Gregory spent three decades as a police officer, protecting its neighborhoods. This month, Habitat for Humanity of Horry County - alongside some incredible partners - got the chance to protect him. Through the Roof Deployment Project, Habitatmb teamed up with Leverage Roofing and Owens Corning to provide Gregory with a roof that will last for decades to come. It's more than just shingles and nails; it's the peace of mind that comes with knowing home is a safe harbor. Why your advocacy matters. Eric's message to the community is simple: Stay engaged. While Habitatmb is celebrating Gregory's new roof today, its list of veterans waiting for critical repairs continues to grow. These are men and women who served in the Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard - many of whom are living in homes with failing HVAC systems, leaking roofs, or no wheelchair access. Join the mission. You don't have to be a Seabee to have a "Can Do" attitude for its veterans. Habitat for Humanity of Horry County is on a mission to clear its waitlist and ensure every local hero has a safe place to call home. How you can help: * Donate: Every dollar to its Veteran Repair Fund goes directly toward materials and labor for local heroes. Donate Now * Advocate: Share Gregory's story! Help Habitatmb find the veterans in its community who may be suffering in silence. * Partner: Are you a local business? Join the ranks of supporters like Leverage Roofing and Owens Corning.
Owens Corning has faced increased scrutiny as analysts maintain positive ratings whilst tempering expectations amid slowing sales growth and weakening profitability. The company's 2.2% annual sales growth, falling earnings per share and eroding returns on capital have raised concerns about its profit resilience. Wells Fargo maintained its "Overweight" rating but cut its price target from $155 to $125, reflecting cautious optimism. The company's narrative projects $10.5 billion in revenue and $1.6 billion in earnings by 2029, requiring 1.3% yearly revenue growth. Investors face a key question: whether Owens Corning's roofing, insulation and doors portfolio can recover profitability. The main near-term catalyst is margin stabilisation, whilst the primary risk is whether deteriorating returns signal persistent profit headwinds. Sustained margin pressure could further challenge the company's traditional earnings power.
Owens Corning reported fourth-quarter revenue of $2.1 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $362 million (17% margin), with full-year 2025 revenue of $10.1 billion and EBITDA of $2.3 billion (22% margin). CEO Brian Chambers said the company is "generating higher margins on lower market volumes" despite progressively weaker residential demand. The company faced headwinds from distribution destocking and an unusually quiet storm season, with no major U.S. storms for the first time in a decade. Roofing sales fell 27% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, though the segment maintained healthy margins through curtailments and mix improvements. Owens Corning generated $1.8 billion in operating cash flow, returned $1 billion to shareholders, and ended 2025 with debt-to-EBITDA of 2.1x and $1.8 billion liquidity. Management expects a soft start to 2026 with improvement in the second half.
Owens Corning University introduces virtual reality training. Immersive learning helps roofers master real-world installations anytime, in any weather. Owens Corning University is taking contractor training to the next level with the launch of OCU VR, a new virtual reality learning platform designed to help roofing crews build skills, improve retention and practice real-world installations anytime, anywhere - before ever stepping onto a roof. At the center of the initiative is the proprietary OCU VR Headset Bundle, which allows crew members to train anytime and in any weather conditions. The bundle includes a Pico 4 Ultra Enterprise headset, two controllers, a charger and a setup guide to ensure users can begin training quickly and easily. The program is available in both English and Spanish. A more efficient approach to learning. OCU VR was developed to help crews not only learn critical roofing skills but also apply and retain them on the job. The immersive experience places users in realistic scenarios covering key roofing topics such as shingle offset installation, ridge ventilation, flashing techniques and deck inspections. Research has shown the effectiveness of VR-based training, with studies indicating employee retention rates can improve up to 80% one year after VR instruction, compared to just 20% one week after traditional training. By allowing users to actively practice techniques in a simulated environment, OCU VR reinforces proper installation methods before they are performed in the field. Easy to use and built for continuous learning. Getting started with OCU VR is designed to be simple and seamless. Platinum and Preferred Contractors can log in to their OCConnect accounts to purchase the OCU VR Headset Bundle. Each shipment includes a step-by-step setup guide that walks users through powering on the headset, logging in and launching their training experience. The platform offers both a guided "learn mode," which walks users through each process while explaining the importance of proper installation, and an assessment mode that evaluates performance. Assessment scores are transferred back to OCU, and users can download and print certificates of completion upon successfully finishing a course. OCU VR is also designed with long-term, ongoing education in mind. As new courses aligned with the OCCraft curriculum are developed, they will be automatically added to OCU VR headsets via Wi-Fi, ensuring crews have access to the latest training content without additional setup. Platinum and Preferred Contractors can order the OCU VR training bundle through OCConnect.
