## Summary

Calhoun GA world's largest flooring company (NYSE: MHK) at $10.8B 2024 revenue (-2.7%); $285M restructuring savings by 2026 and $520M 2025 capex with Pergo/Daltile/Quick-Step brands competing with Shaw for residential flooring.

## Company Overview

Mohawk Industries, Inc. is a Calhoun, Georgia-based global flooring manufacturer — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: MHK) as an S&P 500 and Fortune 500 component — operating as the world's largest flooring company with 43,000 employees, manufacturing facilities in 15 countries, and a brand portfolio spanning carpet, ceramic tile, laminate, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), hardwood, and stone surfaces. In fiscal year 2024, Mohawk reported net sales of $10.8 billion (down 2.7% year-over-year) and net earnings of $518 million ($8.14 EPS). Mohawk's brand portfolio includes Pergo (laminate), Quick-Step (LVT and laminate), Daltile and American Olean (ceramic tile), Karastan (premium carpet), Unilin (panels and flooring), and Moduleo (LVT). The company announced plans to invest approximately $520 million in 2025 for capacity expansion and operational improvements while implementing restructuring to achieve $285 million in annual savings by 2026. Mohawk traces its roots to 1875 when the Shuttleworth family established a carpet mill in the Hudson Valley; the modern company was spun off from Mohasco Corporation in 1988 and went public in 1992.

Mohawk's vertically integrated flooring model addresses the manufacturing cost and innovation leadership requirements for category dominance in a highly fragmented floor covering market: the flooring industry comprises thousands of regional distributors and specialty retailers selling products from hundreds of manufacturers — and the retailer's display floor allocation (the physical in-store space where consumer purchasing decisions are made for a $400-2,000+ per room purchase) is controlled by the manufacturers that can deliver consistent quality, national service coverage, and design innovation across multiple flooring categories. Mohawk's multi-category platform (selling carpet to a commercial hotel buyer, ceramic tile to a kitchen remodeler, and LVT to a rental property investor through the same distributor relationship) creates the scale that enables a single sales organization to serve flooring contractors, big-box retailers, and independent flooring dealers more cost-effectively than single-category competitors.

In 2025, Mohawk competes in the global floor covering, ceramic tile, and luxury vinyl tile market with Shaw Industries (Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary, private, comparable US flooring scale), Armstrong Flooring (bankrupt 2022, assets acquired), and Tarkett (ENXTPA: TKTT, European flooring, €3B revenue) for residential, commercial, and new construction flooring market share across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The 2.7% revenue decline in 2024 reflects the residential construction softness that reduced new home flooring demand — with the restructuring program ($285M annual savings by 2026) designed to defend margins during the housing market correction. The $520M capex commitment for 2025 focuses on LVT manufacturing capacity (the fastest-growing flooring category, where Mohawk's Moduleo and Quick-Step brands compete with low-cost Asian LVT imports). The 2025 strategy focuses on completing the restructuring cost savings, defending ceramic tile market share against Turkish and Spanish imports, and growing the premium residential replacement market with Karastan and Pergo brand positioning.
