Although we believe that these statements are based on reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those indicated in such statements, including but not limited to: (i) our reliance on the North American and Chinese home improvement, repair and remodel and new home construction activity levels, (ii) the housing market, downward changes in the general economy, unfavorable interest rates or other business conditions, (iii) the competitive nature of consumer and trade brand businesses, (iv) our ability to execute on our strategic plans and the effectiveness of our strategies in the face of business competition, (v) our reliance on key customers and suppliers, including wholesale distributors and dealers and retailers, (vi) risks relating to rapidly evolving technological change, (vii) risks associated with our ability to improve organizational productivity and global supply chain efficiency and flexibility, (viii) risks associated with global commodity and energy availability and price volatility, as well as the possibility of sustained inflation, (ix) delays or outages in our information technology systems or computer networks or breaches of our information technology systems or other cybersecurity incidents, (x) risks associated with doing business globally, including changes in trade-related tariffs (including recent U.S. tariffs announced or imposed on China, Canada, Mexico and other countries and any reciprocal actions taken by such countries) and risks with uncertain trade environments, (xi) risks associated with the disruption of operations, including as a result of severe weather events, (xii) our inability to obtain raw materials and finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner, (xiii) risks associated with strategic acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures, including difficulties integrating acquired companies and the inability to achieve the expected financial results and benefits of transactions, (xiv) impairments in the carrying value of goodwill or other acquired intangible assets, (xv) risks of increases in our defined benefit-related costs and funding requirements, (xvi) our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and other labor constraints, (xvii) the effect of climate change and the impact of related changes in government regulations and consumer preferences, (xviii) risks associated with environmental, social and governance matters, (xix) potential liabilities and costs from claims and litigation, (xx) changes in government and industry regulatory standards, (xxi) future tax law changes or the interpretation of existing tax laws, and (xxii) our ability to secure and protect our intellectual property rights, as well as those listed in the section below entitled "Risk Factors."

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to "Fortune Brands," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us" refer to Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

**Our Company**

We are an industry leading home, security and digital products company whose purpose is to elevate every life by transforming spaces into havens. We sell our products through a wide array of sales channels, including kitchen and bath dealers, wholesalers oriented toward builders or professional remodelers, industrial and locksmith distributors, "do-it-yourself" remodeling-oriented home centers, showrooms, direct to consumer, e-commerce and other retail outlets.

**Our Strategy**

***Building on leading business and brand positions in attractive growth and return categories*.** We have leading brands with what we believe to be sustainable competitive advantages in many of our product categories, which we sell primarily in North America and China. We believe that established brands are meaningful to both consumers and trade customers in their respective categories and that we have the opportunity to, among other things, gain share in the marketplace and continue to strengthen many of our brands through cross-branding, expanding into adjacent product categories, and expanding in international and e-commerce markets. For example, we are continuing to align our Water, Outdoors and Security products with long-term secular trends within connected products, outdoor living, sustainability, water management, material conversion, luxury, and safety and wellness. We are committed to continuing to invest in our brands, our digital and connected transformation, capacity and supply chain through strategic sourcing, automation, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data-driven insights and processes, and leveraging our global scale to strengthen our business and continue to meet demand for our products.

***Developing innovative products and processes for customers and consumers*.** We have a long track record of successful product and process innovations that introduce valued new products to our customers and consumers. Our focus is on products that drive meaningful and valuable functionality and improvements in the lives of people and communities, including products that save water, utilize recycled materials, conserve energy and protect people and spaces. We are committed to continuing to invest in new product development and enhance customer service to strengthen our leading brands and penetrate adjacent markets, including in the digital space and connected products.

***Using the Fortune Brands Advantage to drive results.*** While our business segments are responsible for their own performance, we believe our aligned structure and business model, driven by the Fortune Brands Advantage, allows for us to operate with greater efficiency and agility. The Fortune Brands Advantage is an operating model consisting of a set of unifying capabilities that we believe are critical to our strategic growth across all of our businesses. The Fortune Brands Advantage currently consists of four critical pillars:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Category Management** - Partnering with our channel partners to drive optimal performance and best serve our consumers through actionable category insights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Business Simplification** - Simplifying workstreams to be even more efficient and prioritizing activities that are core to brand, innovation and channel. As part of our reorganization and consolidation efforts to align our business unit-led operating model under one simplified executive leadership team, we expect to continue to prioritize activities that are core to brand, innovation, and channel.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Global Supply Chain Excellence** - Leveraging our robust, global supply chain to strategically drive scale efficiencies with cutting-edge capabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•**Digital Transformation** - Supporting our products of the future with best-in-class services, technology, data and analytics and using data science to unlock valuable consumer and business insights. We are advancing our digital strategy to fuel growth and aim to become a digital leader in our industry. We continue to invest in our digital capabilities to leverage our scale across technology, data and talent to further drive sustainable productivity and efficiency, enhance employee development, satisfaction and retention, and accelerate and sustain growth in e-commerce and connected products, sourcing and data science. This includes integrating our digital organization to improve speed to market and further develop a culture that fosters innovation, collaboration and value creation, and developing products supported by service technology, data and analytics.

We continue to grow our competencies in these areas, allowing each of our businesses to focus on opportunities for revenue growth and margin improvement, no matter the market environment.

***Driving value through talent.*** We have built a talented and inclusive leadership team that is well positioned to continue to execute on our transformation to a more aligned operating model. We believe that investing in our employees is a critical component of our business strategy. We endeavor to do this through talent acquisition, development, succession planning and fostering an inclusive workforce.

***Enhancing returns and deploying our cash flow to high-return opportunities.*** We continue to believe our most attractive opportunities are to invest in profitable organic growth initiatives, pursue accretive strategic acquisitions, non-controlling equity investments, and joint ventures, and return cash to stockholders through a combination of dividends and opportunistic repurchases of our common stock.

We believe that advancing environmental, social and governance ("ESG") initiatives and conducting business ethically is an important factor in allowing us to attract and retain the best talent. ONE Home, which is comprised of our ESG programs and initiatives throughout our organization, is a holistic program focused on the areas where we can make the most impact and where our efforts tie to a larger business opportunity for us. We continue to look for ways to improve our ESG programs and practices by focusing on meaningful initiatives like water conservation, material conversion and safety.

**Business Segments**

We have three business segments: Water Innovations (herein referred to as "Water"), Outdoors and Security.

Our segments compete on the basis of innovation, fashion, quality, price, service and responsiveness to distributor, retailer and installer needs, as well as end-user consumer preferences. Our markets are very competitive. Approximately 16% of 2025 net sales were to international markets, and sales to two of the Company's customers, Lowe's Companies, Inc. ("Lowe's") and The Home Depot, Inc. ("The Home Depot"), each accounted for 11% of our net sales in 2025. Sales to all U.S. home centers in the aggregate were approximately 26% of net sales in 2025. In 2025, sales to our top ten customers represented approximately 52% of total sales.

***Water.*** Our Water segment manufactures or assembles and sells faucets, accessories, luxury hardware, kitchen sinks and waste disposals, predominantly under the Moen, ROHL, Riobel, Victoria+Albert, Perrin & Rowe, Aqualisa, Shaws, Emtek, Schaub and SpringWell brands. Although this segment sells products principally in the U.S., China and Canada, this segment also sells in Europe, Mexico, Southeast Asia and South America. Approximately 22% of 2025 net sales were to international markets. This segment sells directly through its own sales force and indirectly through independent manufacturer's representatives, primarily to wholesalers, home centers and mass merchandisers. This segment is increasingly investing in and developing digital products and "smart" home capabilities. In aggregate, sales to The Home Depot and Lowe's comprised approximately 21% of net sales of the Water segment in 2025. This segment's chief competitors include Masco, Kohler, LIXIL Group, InSinkErator (owned by Whirlpool Corporation), Huida, Hgill, and Jomoo and imported private-label brands.

------

***Outdoors.*** Our Outdoors segment manufactures and sells fiberglass and steel entry door systems under the Therma-Tru brand, storm, screen and security doors under the Larson brand, composite decking, railing and cladding under the Fiberon brand, urethane millwork under the Fypon brand and wide-opening exterior door systems and outdoor enclosures under the Solar Innovations brand. This segment sells products principally in the U.S. and Canada. This segment's principal customers are home centers, hardware and other retailers, millwork building products and wholesale distributors, industrial distributors and specialty dealers that provide products to the residential new construction market, as well as to the remodeling and renovation markets. In aggregate, sales to The Home Depot and Lowe's comprised approximately 28% of net sales of the Outdoors segment in 2025. Therma-Tru, Larson, Fiberon, Fypon and Solar Innovations compete with Masonite, JELD-WEN, Andersen, Trex, James Hardie, Plastpro, Pella, and various regional and local suppliers.

***Security.*** Our Security segment's products consist of locks, safety and security devices, connected and mechanical lock out tag out solutions and electronic security products manufactured, sourced and distributed primarily under the Master Lock, American Lock, Yale and August brands and fire resistant safes, security containers and commercial cabinets manufactured, sourced and distributed under the SentrySafe brand. This segment sells products principally in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Central America, Japan and Australia. Approximately 22% of 2025 net sales of the Security segment were to international markets. This segment manufactures and sells key-controlled and combination padlocks, bicycle and cable locks, built-in locker locks, keyed and keyless smart locks, door hardware, automotive, trailer and towing locks, electronic access control solutions, and other specialty safety and security devices for consumer use to hardware, home center and other retail outlets. The segment primarily sells to locksmiths, industrial and institutional users, residential and multi-family housing hardware and service providers, third-party integrators, and original equipment manufacturers. In aggregate, sales to The Home Depot and Lowe's comprised approximately 18% of the net sales of the Security segment in 2025. Master Lock, American Lock, Yale and August competes with Abus, W.H. Brady, Hampton, Kwikset, Schlage and various imports, and SentrySafe competes with First Alert, Magnum, Fortress, Stack-On and Fire King.

**<u>Other Information</u>**

***Raw materials.*** The table below indicates the principal raw materials used by each of our segments. These materials are available from a number of sources. Volatility in the prices of commodities, including as a result of inflation, and energy used in making and distributing our products impacts the cost of manufacturing our products.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Segment | *Raw Materials* |
| Water | Brass, zinc, resins, stainless steel and aluminum |
| Outdoors | Wood, aluminum, steel, plastics, resins, glass, vinyl and insulating foam |
| Security | Steel, zinc, brass and resins |

---

***Intellectual property.*** Product innovation and branding are important to the success of our business. In addition to the brand protection offered by our trademarks, patent protection helps distinguish our unique product features in the market by preventing copying and making it more difficult for competitors to benefit unfairly from our design innovation. We hold U.S. and foreign patents covering various features used in products sold within all of our business segments. Although each of our segments relies on a number of patents and patent groups that, in the aggregate, provide important protections to us, no single patent or patent group is material to any of our segments.

------

***Human capital resources.*** As of December 27, 2025, we had approximately 10,000 full-time and part-time employees worldwide (excluding contract workers). Approximately 59% of our workforce is composed of hourly production and distribution associates and the remaining population is composed of associates in an office role. We have no associates in the U.S. working under collective bargaining agreements.

We believe our associates are the key to our success. We invest in our teams and develop our associates to become the next generation of leaders to fuel innovation and drive Company growth. We also endeavor to create a home for all that keeps our employees safe, treats them with dignity and respect, and fosters a culture of performance. We also endeavor to create a culture where doing the right thing is embedded in the way we conduct business. We do this through the programs summarized below, and the objectives and related risks of each is overseen by our Board of Directors or its committees.

*Health and Safety*

Safety is a critical element to our growth strategy, integral to Company culture and one of our core values. Our Employee Safety & Environmental Stewardship Principles set standards for how we maintain a safe work environment and guides our business operations. We also have an Environmental, Health & Safety network composed of representatives from across our businesses that shares best practices and implements environmental, health and safety strategy. This helps drive our key programs designed to reinforce positive behaviors, to empower our employees to actively take part in maintaining a safe work environment, to heighten awareness and to mitigate risk on critical safety components. Within each of our manufacturing and distribution facilities, we have site-specific safety and environmental plans designed to reduce risk. Through a continued commitment to improve our safety performance, we have historically been successful in reducing the number of injuries sustained by our employees although in 2025 our rates increased slightly. Two of our primary safety measures are the Total Recordable Incidence Rate ("TRIR") and Lost Time Rate ("LTR"). For 2025 our TRIR was 1.02, compared to 0.98 in 2024 and our LTR was 0.34 in 2025 versus 0.31 in 2024.

*Attracting and Retaining Superior Talent*

We are committed to investing in the overall well-being of our associates, and we believe that this is a critical component of our business strategy. To attract and retain superior talent at all levels, our total rewards are designed to be market competitive, align associate incentives with our performance and support our associates across many aspects of their lives. We have a strong pay-for-performance culture that is supported by incentive programs that take into consideration business results and associate performance. We also offer a range of benefits including retirement savings plans, comprehensive healthcare and mental-health benefits including medical, dental and vision coverage, health savings and spending accounts, and numerous programs introduced over the past year to help associates access care as well as remove barriers to care.

*Creating a Culture of Inclusion and Respect for All*

At our Company, we believe that embracing a variety of perspectives helps drive business results. By valuing and integrating diverse viewpoints with respect, we believe we can foster innovation and achieve superior performance.

We continue to take measured actions that foster and build upon our inclusive culture, that increase engagement of associates from a variety of backgrounds, and that are reflective of our consumers and communities. We believe that attracting and retaining talented employees from a variety of backgrounds will enable us to be more innovative and responsive to consumer needs and deliver strong performance and growth. We reinforce fair, equitable, and effective practices across our entire organization through training, Employee Resource Groups, which are open to U.S.-based associates, and which span a variety of associate groups, and partnerships with external organizations. People leaders participate in inclusion-focused learning programs, and we conduct engagement surveys twice a year to foster our commitment to employee engagement and feedback, to drive meaningful action and improvement in our culture.

------

*Talent Development and Succession*

We aim to inspire and equip our associates to be successful in their current roles within the organization and help them to develop the skills to build on opportunities to grow their careers. We understand our most critical roles that serve as points of leverage to deliver value and place our best people in those roles, while attracting new talent and capabilities in support of continuous improvement in all we do.

Our performance management programs support a high-performance culture by reinforcing accountability, recognizing excellence, strengthening employee engagement, and helping retain top talent. We provide associates with relevant functional and leadership training – from frontline supervisors to mid-level office professionals – to ensure they have the tools to accelerate their development.

We also make a significant investment in assessing our talent against the jobs both in the near term and the future and ensuring our leaders are prepared for greater levels of responsibility and can successfully transition into new roles. Succession planning for critical roles is an important part of our talent program. Succession and development plans are created and monitored to ensure progress is made along established timelines.

***Seasonality.*** All of our operating segments traditionally experience lower sales in the first quarter of the year when new home construction, repair and remodel activity, and security buying are at their lowest. As a result of sales seasonality and associated timing of working capital fluctuations, our cash flow from operating activities is typically higher in the second half of the year.

***Laws and Regulations Affecting Our Business.*** Our operations are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, both within and outside the U.S., in areas such as environmental protection and climate change, international trade, data privacy, tax, consumer protection, government contracts and others. We are also subject to import and export controls, tariffs, and other trade-related regulations and restrictions in the countries in which we have operations or otherwise do business. For a more detailed description of the various laws and regulations that impact our business, see Item 1A. Risk Factors. In the normal course of business, we are also involved in various legal proceedings, including relating to environmental issues.

Compliance with government regulations, including environmental and climate change regulations, has not had, and based on current information and the applicable laws and regulations currently in effect, is not expected to have, a material effect on our capital expenditures, results of operations or competitive position. However, laws and regulations may be changed, accelerated or adopted in a manner that could impose significant operational restrictions and compliance requirements upon us and that could negatively impact our operating results and financial condition.

***Available Information.*** Our website address is www.FBIN.com. Our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to these reports are available free of charge on our website as soon as reasonably practicable after the reports are filed or furnished electronically with the SEC. Reports filed with the SEC are also made available on its website at www.sec.gov.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

*There are inherent risks and uncertainties associated with our business that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. Set forth below are descriptions of those risks and uncertainties that we currently believe to be material, but the risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. If any of these risks materialize, our business, financial condition or operating results could suffer. In this case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.*

***Industry Risks***

***Our business primarily relies on North American and Chinese home improvement, repair and remodel, and new home construction activity levels, all of which are impacted by risks associated with fluctuations in the housing market. Downward changes in the general economy or the housing market, or unfavorable interest rates or other business conditions, could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.***

Our business primarily relies on home improvement, repair and remodel, and new home construction activity levels, principally in North America and China. Those housing markets are sensitive to changes in economic conditions and other factors, such as the level of employment, access to and the cost of labor, consumer confidence, demographic changes, consumer income, government policies and tax programs, availability of financing, inflation and interest rate levels. Adverse changes in any of these conditions generally, or in any of the markets where we operate, could decrease consumer demand and could adversely impact our businesses by: causing consumers to delay or decline to pursue home ownership; making consumers more price conscious, resulting in a shift in demand to smaller, less expensive homes; making consumers more reluctant to make investments in their existing homes or causing them to delay investments, including kitchen and bath repair and remodel projects; or making it more difficult for consumers to secure loans for major home renovations. U.S. single-family and multi-family new home construction activity and U.S. repair and remodel activities all contracted from their 2024 level.

***We operate in very competitive consumer and trade brand categories.***

The markets in which we operate are very competitive. Although we believe that competition in our businesses is based largely on product quality, consumer and trade brand reputation, customer service and product features, as well as fashion trends, innovation and ease of installation, price is a significant factor for consumers as well as our trade customers. Some of our competitors may resort to price competition to sustain or grow market share and manufacturing capacity utilization. Certain large customers continue to offer private-label brands that compete with some of our product offerings as a lower-cost alternative. Imported low cost product offerings have also recently become more prevalent in various e-commerce channels. The strong competition that we face in all of our businesses may adversely affect our profitability and revenue levels, as well as our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

***We may not successfully execute on our strategic plans, and our strategies may not prove effective in the face of business competition or yield the intended results.***

The success of our business and business strategies depends on meeting consumer needs and anticipating changes in consumer preferences with successful new products and product improvements. We aim to introduce products and new or improved production processes proactively to offset obsolescence and decreases in sales of existing products. We may not be successful in product development and our new products may not be commercially successful. In addition, it is possible that competitors may improve their products or processes more rapidly or effectively, which could adversely affect our sales. Furthermore, market demand may decline as a result of consumer preferences trending away from our categories or trending down within our brands or product categories, which could adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

------

In connection with the separation of our Cabinets business, MasterBrand, Inc. ("MasterBrand"), via a tax-free spin-off transaction (the "Separation"), we shifted from a decentralized structure with separate businesses to a more aligned business unit-led operating model that prioritizes activities that are core to brand, innovation, and channel, among other changes. Although we believe that this transition allows us to fully leverage the scale and execution excellence of our total business, such transitions can be inherently difficult to manage, and may result in a diversion of management's focus and attention from other aspects of our business. In addition, our new operating model may not yield the intended results, and may have unexpected consequences, which could negatively affect our business and results of operations and make it more difficult for us to execute on our strategic plans.

We also recently announced a CEO transition as well as certain other organizational and leadership changes in 2025 designed to drive accelerated growth, resulting in certain restructuring cash and non-cash charges. As part of those changes, we opened our new headquarters campus during the third quarter of 2025. Nevertheless, these efforts may not yield the desired results and may have unexpected consequences, including the potential for increased employee transition costs or difficulty retaining key employees, including as a result of market pressures or a reluctance to relocate to a new geographic area, and difficulties in identifying, or negotiating terms with, potential assignees or subtenants for existing leased office space.

***Our businesses rely on the performance of wholesale distributors and dealers, retailers and other marketing arrangements and could be adversely affected by poor performance or other disruptions in our distribution channels and customers.***

We rely on a distribution network comprised of consolidating customers. Any disruption to the existing distribution channels could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. The consolidation of distributors or retailers or the financial instability or default of a distributor or one of its major customers could potentially cause such a disruption. In addition to our own sales force, we offer our products through a variety of third-party distributors, representatives and retailers. Certain of our distributors, representatives or retailers may also market other products that compete with our products. In addition, one or more retailers may stop carrying certain of our products, reduce the volume of purchases of our products and/or replace certain of our products with the products of our competitors. The loss or termination of, or significant reduction in sales to, one or more of our major distributors, representatives or retailers, the failure of one or more of our distributors, representatives or retailers to effectively promote our products, or changes in the financial or business condition of these distributors, representatives or retailers could adversely affect our ability to bring products to market and our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

***Rapidly evolving technological change and our ability to react effectively may present significant competitive risks.***

Technological change continues to progress at a rapid pace. The creation, development, advancement and implementation of new technologies such as internet of things, 5G data networks, artificial intelligence, data analytics, 3-D printing, robotics, sensor technology, data storage, automation technologies and augmented reality, amongst others, have impacted and may continue to impact our processes, products, operations and services.

We evaluate on an ongoing basis new and emerging technologies that we believe are applicable to our business to potentially integrate them into our current and future products, services, processes and operations. The integration of any such new technologies into our business may also require the development of new processes, including those designed to oversee the implementation of such new technologies, and may require significant financial and operational resources. Even if successfully implemented, such technologies may not deliver the anticipated benefits.

In addition, competitors or new market entrants may more effectively use artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies to accelerate product design cycles, optimize pricing and promotions, improve demand forecasting and fulfillment, and target digital marketing, each of which may allow faster innovation

------

and/or lower cost-to-serve. If we fail to compete with our peers in effectively adopting, deploying or integrating these or other new technologies into our business, or fail to guard against new competitors disrupting our business through the more effective use of such technologies, our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected.

***Operational and Sourcing Risks***

***Risks associated with our ability to improve organizational productivity and global supply chain efficiency and flexibility could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.***

If we are unable to obtain sufficient components or raw materials that meet our specifications on a timely basis or for a cost-effective price or if we experience other manufacturing, supply or distribution difficulties, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected. We acquire our components and raw materials from many suppliers and vendors in various countries. We endeavor to ensure the continuity and quality of our components and materials and make efforts to diversify certain of our sources of components and materials, but we cannot guarantee these efforts will be successful. A reduction or interruption in supply or an issue in the supply chain, including as a result of our inability to quickly develop acceptable alternative sources for such supply, could adversely affect our ability to manufacture, distribute and sell our products in a timely or cost-effective manner.

***Risks associated with global commodity and energy availability and price volatility, as well as the possibility of sustained inflation, could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.***

We are exposed to risks associated with global commodity price volatility arising from restricted or uneven supply conditions, the sustained expansion and volatility of demand from emerging markets, potentially unstable geopolitical and economic variables, severe weather and other unpredictable external factors. We buy raw materials that contain commodities such as wood, petroleum-based products such as resins, brass, zinc, steel, aluminum and glass. In addition, our distribution costs are significantly impacted by the price of oil and diesel fuel, which in turn is affected by a number of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. Decreased availability and increased or volatile prices for these commodities, as well as energy used in making, distributing and transporting our products, could increase the costs of our products. We have been and may continue to be impacted by near-term supply, labor and freight constraints, a volatile global supply

------

chain environment, as well as sustained elevated rates of inflation, fluctuating interest rates, unfavorable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and new, ongoing, expanded or retaliatory tariffs, all of which have increased, and may further increase, our costs. While in the past we have been able to mitigate the impact of these cost increases through productivity improvements and passing on increasing costs to our customers over time, there is no assurance that we will be able to offset such cost increases in the future, and the risk of potentially sustained high levels of inflation could adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. While we may use derivative contracts to limit our short-term exposure to commodity price volatility, the commodity exposures under these contracts could still be material to our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In addition, in periods of declining commodity prices, these derivative contracts may have the short-term effect of increasing our expenditures for these raw materials.

***We may experience delays or outages in our information technology systems and computer networks and the third-party information technology systems and computer networks that we use. We may be subject to breaches of our information technology systems, breaches of third-party information technology systems that we use or other cybersecurity incidents, which could damage our reputation and consumer relationships. Failures in our information technology systems or in the third-party information technology systems that we use and the costs of increasing information security regulation could also subject us to significant financial, legal and operational consequences.***

We, like most companies, have experienced and may in the future be subject to information technology system failures and network disruptions caused by delays or disruptions due to system updates, natural disasters, malicious attacks, accidents, power disruptions, telecommunications failures, acts of terrorism or war, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, or similar events or disruptions. We rely upon information technology systems and infrastructure, including support provided by third parties, to support our business, our products and our customers, and have also been subject to system failures and network disruptions relating to the information technology systems and infrastructure of our third-party service providers.

For example, we routinely rely on systems for manufacturing, customer and supplier orders, shipping, regulatory compliance, finance, company operations, research and development and various other matters, as well as information technology systems and infrastructure to aid us in the collection, use, storage and transfer and other processing of data including confidential, business, financial, and personal information. Security threats, including cyber attacks, artificial intelligence assisted cyber attacks, security breaches, power outages, system failures, malware, ransomware, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, adware, rogue software and other attacks, are becoming increasingly sophisticated, frequent and adaptive, which increases the difficulty of detecting and successfully defending against them. Third-party systems that we rely upon are also vulnerable to the same security threats and may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that have in the past resulted, and could result in the future, in system disruptions that affect our operations or compromises of the information security of our own systems. Such security threats, depending on their nature and scope, could potentially result in the misappropriation, destruction, corruption or unavailability of critical data and confidential or proprietary information (ours or that of third parties) and the disruption of our business operations or the business operations of third parties on which we rely. The potential consequences of a material cybersecurity incident or other material system interruption and their effects include financial loss, business disruption, reputational damage, litigation or regulatory action, theft of intellectual property, fines levied by government agencies, diminution in the value of our investments in research, development and engineering, and increased cybersecurity protection and remediation costs due to the increasing sophistication and proliferation of threats, which in turn could adversely affect our competitiveness and results of operations. While we carry cyber insurance, we cannot be certain that coverage will be adequate for liabilities actually incurred, that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The proliferation of, and advances in, artificial intelligence may exacerbate these risks.

We continue to pursue additional investment, engagement of third-party experts and consultants, improvements in the security of our facilities and systems (including through upgrades to our security and information technology systems), and training for employees. We also regularly assess the continued appropriateness of relevant insurance coverage and the strength of our controls and procedures to monitor, mitigate and respond appropriately to these threats. Our businesses may implement digital systems and technologies, enterprise resource planning systems or new applications to replace outdated systems and to

------

operate more efficiently, but we may not be able to successfully implement these projects without experiencing difficulties, expected benefits might not be realized or the costs of implementation might outweigh the benefits realized. We believe we devote appropriate resources to network security, data encryption, and other security measures to protect our systems and data, but these security measures cannot provide absolute security. Actual or perceived breaches and breakdowns affecting our information technology systems or protected data, including as a result of external actors or employee error or malfeasance, could have an adverse effect on our business strategy, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, reputation and consumer relationships.

In addition, the domestic and international regulatory environment related to solicitation, information security, collection and data privacy is increasingly rigorous and complex, with new and rapidly changing requirements applicable to our business, which are sometimes contradictory, and which may require changes to our business practices. Compliance with these requirements, including the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation, the California Privacy Rights Act, the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China and other international and domestic regulations, has resulted and could continue to result in additional costs and complexity to our business operations. Any significant liabilities associated with violations of any related laws or regulations could also have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, reputation and consumer relationships.

***We manufacture, source and sell products internationally and are exposed to risks associated with doing business globally, including risks associated with uncertain trade environments.***

We manufacture, source or sell our products in a number of locations throughout the world, predominantly in the U.S., Asia, Canada, Europe, Mexico and Africa. Accordingly, we are subject to risks associated with potential disruption caused by changes in political, economic and social environments, including war, civil and political unrest, illnesses declared as a public health emergency (including viral pandemics such as COVID-19), terrorism, expropriation, local labor conditions, changes in laws, regulations and policies of foreign governments and trade disputes with the U.S., and U.S. laws affecting activities of U.S. companies abroad. We could be adversely affected by higher manufacturing costs and international trade regulations, including, tariffs (including existing and potential U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on China, Canada and Mexico and other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries), duties and antidumping penalties. Risks inherent to international operations include: potentially adverse tax laws; unfavorable changes or uncertainty relating to trade agreements or importation duties; uncertainty regarding clearance and enforcement of intellectual property rights; risks associated with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-bribery laws; mandatory or voluntary shutdowns of our facilities or our suppliers due to changes in political dynamics that could result in longer lead times, economic policies or health emergencies and difficulty enforcing contracts or protecting our intellectual property rights. While we hedge certain foreign currency transactions, a change in the value of the currencies will impact our financial statements when translated into U.S. dollars. In addition, fluctuations in currency can adversely impact the cost position of our products in local currency, making it more difficult for us to compete. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage our businesses through the impact of these potential changes.

***Disruption of operations could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.***

We manufacture a significant portion of the products we sell. Any prolonged disruption in our manufacturing operations, whether due to technical or labor difficulties, continued labor shortages, transportation-related shortages, supply chain constraints, weather conditions (including due to the impacts of climate change, particularly for those facilities near any shorelines or in any other area traditionally impacted by extreme weather), lack of raw material or component availability, startup inefficiencies for new operations, cybersecurity incidents, destruction or disruption of, or damage to, any facility (as a result of natural disasters, fires and explosions, use and storage of hazardous materials or other events) or other reasons, could negatively impact our profitability and competitive position and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

------

***Our inability to obtain raw materials and finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner from suppliers could adversely affect our ability to manufacture and market our products.*** 

We purchase raw materials to be used in manufacturing our products and also rely on third-party manufacturers to produce certain of the finished goods we sell. We often do not enter into long-term contracts with our suppliers or sourcing partners. Instead, most raw materials and sourced goods are obtained on a "purchase order" basis. In addition, in some instances, we maintain single-source or limited-source sourcing relationships, either because multiple sources are not available or the relationship is advantageous due to performance, quality, support, delivery, capacity or price considerations. Financial, operating or other difficulties encountered by our suppliers or sourcing partners or changes in our relationships with them could result in manufacturing or sourcing interruptions, delays and inefficiencies, and prevent us from manufacturing or obtaining the finished goods necessary to meet customer demand. If we are unable to meet customer demand, there could be an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

***Risks associated with strategic acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.***

We consider acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures as a means of enhancing stockholder value. Acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures involve risks and uncertainties, including difficulties integrating acquired companies and operating joint ventures; difficulty in finding buyers or alternative exit strategies on acceptable terms in a timely manner, or disposing of a business at a price or on terms that are less desirable than we had anticipated; the difficulties and cost in obtaining any necessary regulatory or government approvals on acceptable terms and any delay from the inability to satisfy pre-closing conditions; difficulties retaining the acquired businesses' customers; the inability to achieve the expected financial results and synergistic and other benefits of transactions; the impact of divestitures on our revenue growth and any associated dis-synergies; the loss of key employees from acquired or divested companies; implementing and maintaining consistent standards, controls, policies and information systems; and continued financial involvement in a divested business, such as through continuing equity ownership, guarantees, indemnities, transition services or other financial obligations and diversion of management's attention and resources from other business and strategic matters. Future acquisitions could cause us to incur additional debt or issue additional shares, resulting in dilution in earnings per share and return on capital.

***Impairment charges could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.***

Goodwill and other acquired intangible assets expected to contribute indefinitely to our cash flows are not amortized, but must be evaluated for impairment by management at least annually. If the carrying value exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill, the goodwill is considered impaired and is reduced to fair value via a non-cash charge to earnings. If the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its fair value, the intangible asset is considered impaired and is reduced to fair value via a non-cash charge to earnings. Future events may occur that would adversely affect the fair value of our goodwill or other acquired intangible assets and require impairment charges. Such events may include, but are not limited to, lower than forecasted revenues, actual new construction and repair and remodel growth rates that fall below our assumptions, actions of key customers, increases in discount rates, continued economic uncertainty, higher levels of unemployment, weak consumer confidence, lower levels of discretionary consumer spending, a decrease in royalty rates and a decline in the trading price of our common stock. We continue to evaluate the impact of economic and other developments to assess whether impairment indicators are present. Accordingly, we may be required to perform impairment tests based on changes in the economic environment and other factors, and these tests could result in impairment charges in the future.

------

***Our pension costs and funding requirements could increase as a result of volatility in the financial markets and changes in interest rates and actuarial assumptions.***

Our costs of pension benefits may increase and negatively affect our business as a result of: the effect of potential declines in the stock and bond markets on the performance of our pension plan assets; potential reductions in the discount rate used to determine the present value of our benefit obligations; and changes to our investment strategy that may impact our expected return on pension plan assets assumptions. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that we calculate income or expense for the plans using actuarial valuations. These valuations reflect assumptions about financial markets and interest rates, which may change based on economic conditions. Our accounting policy for defined benefit plans may subject earnings to volatility due to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses, particularly due to the change in the fair value of pension assets and interest rates. Funding requirements for our U.S. pension plans may become more significant. However, the ultimate amounts to be contributed are dependent upon, among other things, interest rates, underlying asset returns and the impact of legislative or regulatory changes related to pension funding obligations.

***Legal, Regulatory and People Risks*** 

***Our failure to attract and retain qualified personnel and other labor constraints could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.***

Our success depends in part on the efforts and abilities of qualified personnel at all levels, including our senior management team and other key employees. Their motivation, skills, experience, contacts and industry knowledge significantly benefit our operations and administration. As recently announced, we are undergoing a CEO transition, which may create continuity risks and may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability to execute on our business plans.

Tight labor markets in certain U.S. regions or functions, rising wages and competition for attracting and retaining qualified talent could result in the failure to attract, motivate and retain personnel. These challenges have resulted in higher employee costs, increased attrition and significant shifts in the labor market and employee expectations, and we may continue to face challenges in finding and retaining qualified personnel, particularly at the production level, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In addition, our announced organizational and leadership changes could result in difficulty retaining key employees, including as a result of market pressures or a reluctance to relocate to a new geographic area.

***Potential liabilities and costs from claims and litigation could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.***

We are, from time to time, involved in various claims, litigation matters and regulatory proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business and that could have an adverse effect on us. These matters may include contract disputes, intellectual property disputes, data privacy disputes, product recalls, personal injury claims, construction defects and home warranty claims, warranty disputes, other types of consumer litigation, environmental claims or proceedings, other tort claims, employment and tax matters, and other proceedings and litigation, including class actions. Defending ourselves in these matters may be time-consuming, expensive and disruptive to normal business operations and may result in significant expense and a diversion of management's focus and attention from other business and strategic matters. It is not possible to predict the outcome of pending or future litigation, and, as with any litigation, it is possible that some of the actions could be decided unfavorably and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Such proceedings could also generate significant adverse publicity and have a negative impact on our reputation and brand image, regardless of the merit of the claims or the existence or amount of liability. Additionally, any amount that we may be required to pay to satisfy a judgment, settlement, fine or penalty may not be covered by insurance and for some matters, such as class actions, no insurance may be available on attractive terms.

------

We are also subject to product safety regulations, recalls and direct claims for product liability that can result in significant liability and, regardless of the ultimate outcome, can be costly to defend or injurious to our brand and reputation. As a result of the difficulty of controlling the quality of products or components sourced from other manufacturers, we are exposed to risks relating to the quality of such products and to limitations on our recourse against such suppliers.

***Changes in government and industry regulatory standards could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.***

Government regulations and policies pertaining to trade agreements, health and safety (including protection of employees as well as consumers), taxes and environment (including those specific to climate change and the reduction of air and energy emissions) may continue to emerge in the U.S., as well as internationally. In particular, there may be additional tariffs or taxes related to our imported raw materials, components and finished goods. It is necessary for us to comply with current requirements (including requirements that do not become effective until a future date), and even more stringent requirements could be imposed on our products or processes in the future. Compliance with changes in taxes, tariffs and other regulations may require us to further alter our manufacturing and installation processes and our sourcing, and may increase the costs of our products. Such actions may result in customers transitioning to available competitive products; loss of market share; negative publicity; reputational damage; loss of customer confidence; or other negative consequences (including a decline in stock price) and could increase our capital expenditures and adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

***Future tax law changes or the interpretation of existing tax laws may materially impact our effective income tax rate, the resolution of unrecognized tax benefits and cash tax payments.***

Our businesses are subject to taxation in the U.S., as well as internationally, including income tax, value-added tax and property tax. Our total tax expense could be affected by changes in tax rates in the jurisdictions in which our businesses are subject to taxation, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in tax laws or the interpretation of such laws by tax authorities which may have a material impact on our financial results. In addition, we are routinely audited by tax authorities in many jurisdictions. Although we believe we record and accrue tax estimates that are reasonable and appropriate, these estimates are based on assumptions and require the exercise of significant judgment, and there are significant uncertainties in these estimates. As a result, the ultimate outcome from any audit could be materially different from amounts reflected in our income tax provisions and accruals. Future settlements of income tax audits may have a material adverse effect on earnings between the period of initial recognition of tax estimates in our financial statements and the point of ultimate tax audit settlement.

***Our inability to secure and protect our intellectual property rights could negatively impact revenues and brand reputation.***

We have many patents, trademarks, brand names, trade names and trade secrets that, in the aggregate, are important to our business. Unauthorized use of these intellectual property rights or other loss of our intellectual property competitive position may not only erode sales of our products but also cause us to incur substantial significant damage to our brand name and reputation, interfere with our ability to effectively represent us to our customers, contractors and suppliers, and increase litigation costs. There can be no assurance that our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights will prevent violations. In addition, existing patent, trade secret and trademark laws offer only limited protection, and the laws of some countries in which our products are or may be developed, manufactured or sold may not fully protect our intellectual property from infringement by others. There can be no assurance that our efforts to assess possible third-party intellectual property rights will ensure our ability to manufacture, distribute, market or sell in any given country or territory. Furthermore, others may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us or our customers, which may require us to incur significant expense to defend such litigation or indemnify our customers.

------

***Climate change and related impacts, including legislative and regulatory initiatives, could adversely affect our business and results of operations.***

Concerns over the long-term effects of climate change have led to, and we expect will continue to lead to, governmental efforts around the world to mitigate those effects. We will need to respond to any new laws and regulations as well as to consumer, investor and business preferences resulting from climate change concerns and a broader societal transition to a lower-carbon economy, which may increase our operational complexity and result in costs to us in order to comply with any new laws, regulations or preferences. Further, the effects of climate change, including increasingly frequent and severe weather events, may negatively impact international, regional and local economic activity, which may lower demand for our products or disrupt our manufacturing or distribution operations. Overall, climate change, its effects and the resulting, unknown impact on government regulation, consumer, investor and business preferences could have a long-term material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

There continues to be a lack of consistent climate legislation, which creates economic and regulatory uncertainty. Increased public awareness and concern regarding global climate change may result in more international, regional and/or federal requirements or other stakeholder expectations that could mandate more restrictive or expansive standards, more prescriptive reporting of environmental, social and governance metrics than the voluntary commitments we have adopted, or require related changes on a more accelerated time frame than we anticipate. If environmental laws or regulations are either changed or adopted and impose significant operational restrictions and compliance requirements on us, they may have a material adverse effect on our business, access to credit, capital expenditures, operating results and financial condition.

***Environmental, social and governance matters may adversely impact our business and reputation.***

In addition to the importance of their financial performance, companies are judged by their performance on a variety of environmental, social and governance ("ESG") matters.

In light of the increased focus on and public debate surrounding ESG matters, including unpredictable changes in legislation, government regulations, and policies of increasing complexity and numerosity, there can be no certainty that we will manage such issues successfully, or that we will successfully meet stakeholder expectations as to our proper role. Stakeholders are increasingly scrutinizing ESG practices, and their expectations are diverse and rapidly changing. Any failure or perceived failure by us in this regard could adversely impact our business and reputation.

In addition, developing, compiling and acting on ESG initiatives and regulations, including collecting, measuring and reporting related data, can be costly, difficult and time consuming. Significant expenditures and commitment of time by management, employees and outside advisors is involved in developing, implementing and overseeing policies, practices and internal controls related to ESG risk management and performance, and we may undertake additional costs to control, assess and report on ESG metrics as the nature, cost, scope and complexity of ESG reporting, particularly given inconsistency in state and local, federal, and international laws, diligence and disclosure requirements or expectations may continue to expand. Such costs may have an adverse impact our business and results of operations.

We also may face potential governmental enforcement actions, private litigation and other challenges or criticism challenging our ESG and sustainability goals, or our disclosure of those goals and our metrics for measuring achievement of them, which may increase our costs of compliance or adversely affect our reputation, business and results of operations.

***In connection with the Separation, the Company and MasterBrand have agreed to indemnify each other for certain liabilities. If we are required to indemnify MasterBrand, our financial results could be negatively impacted. Further, MasterBrand's indemnities may not be sufficient to hold us harmless from the full amount of liabilities for which MasterBrand has been allocated responsibility, and MasterBrand may not be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations in the future.***

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and certain other agreements with MasterBrand related to the Separation, each party has agreed to indemnify the other for certain liabilities, in each case for uncapped amounts. Indemnities that MasterBrand is required to provide to us are not subject to any cap and may be significant and could negatively impact our business. Third parties could also seek to hold us responsible for any of the liabilities that MasterBrand has agreed to retain. Any amounts that we may be required to pay pursuant to these indemnification obligations and other liabilities could require us to divert cash that would otherwise have been used in furtherance of our operating business. Further, the indemnities from MasterBrand for our benefit may not be sufficient to protect us against the full amount of such liabilities, and MasterBrand may not be able to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations.

Moreover, even if we ultimately succeed in recovering from MasterBrand any amounts for which we are held liable, we may be temporarily required to bear these losses. Each of these risks could negatively affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

***If the Separation, together with certain related transactions, were to fail to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then we and our stockholders could be subject to significant tax liability or tax indemnity obligations.***

We received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS" and the "IRS Ruling") and an opinion from Sidley Austin LLP (the "Sidley Opinion"), together, substantially to the effect that the spin-off and the Separation of MasterBrand will qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (except for any stockholders that received cash in lieu of fractional shares of common stock).

Although a private letter ruling from the IRS is generally binding on the IRS, the IRS Ruling relied on certain facts, assumptions and representations from us and MasterBrand, including representations regarding the past and future conduct of our respective businesses. Moreover, the IRS Ruling is not a comprehensive ruling regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Separation. The Sidley Opinion also relied on certain facts, assumptions and representations, as described therein, as well as the continued validity of the IRS Ruling. The Sidley Opinion is not binding on the IRS or the courts, and the IRS or the courts may not agree with such opinion.

Notwithstanding the IRS Ruling and the Sidley Opinion, the IRS could determine that the Separation should be treated as taxable if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, or representations is not correct or has been violated or if it disagrees with the conclusions in the opinion that are not covered by the IRS Ruling, or for other reasons, including as a result of a significant change in stock or asset ownership after the Separation. If the Separation ultimately is determined to be taxable, we could recognize gains in an amount generally equal to the excess of the fair market value of the assets of MasterBrand (determined based on the fair market value of the common stock distributed to our stockholders on the date of the Separation) over MasterBrand's tax basis in such assets. In addition, we could recognize gains in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the MasterBrand common stock distributed to our stockholders on the date of the Separation over our tax basis in such MasterBrand common stock. Furthermore, we could incur significant tax indemnification obligations under the Tax Allocation Agreement related to the Separation.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.**

None.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity.**

We have an enterprise-wide cybersecurity program that is informed by the U.S. Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework. Our cybersecurity program encompasses the following key capabilities: 24x7 security monitoring, next-generation network security, advanced email and endpoint security, a dedicated enterprise cybersecurity team, third-party managed security services, third-party security assessment services, incident response retainer services, and external risk monitoring services. We also maintain cybersecurity risk insurance coverage to defray the costs of potential information security breaches.

We maintain an incident response plan. Our incident response plan coordinates the actions we take to prepare for, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity incidents, which include processes to triage, assess severity for, escalate, contain, investigate, and remediate the incident, as well as to address potentially applicable legal obligations and mitigate brand and reputational damage. Our incident response plan is updated as appropriate in response to changes within our organization or in response to external factors that may impact us. We test our incident response plan by conducting tabletop exercises on an annual basis.

Our associates receive annual cybersecurity training, and we conduct mock phishing campaigns to better enable our associates to recognize phishing emails and other social engineering tactics. We have established reporting processes for our associates if they encounter suspicious activity that may give rise to a cybersecurity incident.

Our cybersecurity risk management and strategy processes are led by our Chief Information Officer ("CIO") and are supported by the Senior Director of Enterprise Cybersecurity. These individuals are also supported by both dedicated cybersecurity professionals and third-party security service providers. Our CIO is responsible for leading our technology organization across our global portfolio, which includes ERP, commercial, supply chain, and product development technologies, enterprise architecture, infrastructure, cyber security, technical operations, end-user services, and finance and human resources systems. Our current interim CIO has over 30 years of experience in information technology matters. Our Senior Director of Enterprise Cybersecurity has over 30 years of expanding leadership experience in information technology and 18 years of experience in information security leading and developing security programs. Our CIO provides regular updates on cybersecurity matters to our senior executives. In the event of a cybersecurity incident or incidents, our incident response plan includes detailed processes designed to ensure that information is triaged from our information technology management team to our CIO and to other members of our management team in a timely manner such that senior leadership can assure critical decision support and oversight and otherwise monitor the prevention, mitigation, detection, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents.

Cybersecurity-related risks are assessed as part of the enterprise risk management program. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our enterprise risk management program. The Audit Committee also oversees our information technology systems and controls, including the cybersecurity program and related risks. Annually, management assesses and ranks the risks identified through the enterprise risk management program according to the likelihood of occurrence and the potential monetary impact, which the Audit Committee reviews. Management also identifies and provides the Audit Committee with quarterly updates on these risks.

The CIO typically provides the Audit Committee with cybersecurity updates on a quarterly basis. During such updates, the CIO generally covers topics such as data security positions, results from third-party assessments, our incident response plan, and any material cybersecurity threats and developments. In 2025, the CIO reported to the full Board of Directors on our cybersecurity programs and risk mitigation efforts.

As part of the above processes, we engage with assessors, consultants, auditors and other third parties, including by (i) engaging third-party managed security services to assist with the operation of certain aspects of our cybersecurity program, (ii) engaging security assessment services to provide assessments on our

------

cybersecurity program, (iii) engaging an incident response retainer service to provide timely cyber incident response support and digital forensics analysis services, (iv) engaging risk monitoring services to help identify emerging cybersecurity risks, and (v) engaging with other information technology and legal subject matter experts to review our cybersecurity program to help identify areas for continued focus, improvement, and/or compliance.

Our processes also address cybersecurity threat risks associated with our use of third-party service providers, including risks to our customer, vendor, and employee data and our systems. We conduct due diligence of third parties' information security programs, and cybersecurity considerations may inform our selection of third-party service providers. In certain circumstances, including in those where we believe a third party could introduce cybersecurity risk to us, we generally seek to contractually require such third parties to manage their cybersecurity risks in certain proscribed manners. We also receive the results of cybersecurity and data privacy audits conducted on certain vendors to determine if those vendors meet our cybersecurity standards.

We describe the risks that cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, pose to us that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, under the heading "We may experience delays or outages in our information technology systems and computer networks and the third-party information technology systems and computer networks that we use. We may be subject to breaches of our information technology systems, the third-party information technology systems that we use or other cybersecurity incidents, which could damage our reputation and consumer relationships. Failures in our information technology systems or in the third-party information technology systems that we use and the costs of increasing information security regulation could also subject us to significant financial, legal and operational consequences" included as part of our risk factor disclosures under Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which disclosures are incorporated by reference herein. We have experienced, and will continue to experience, cybersecurity incidents in the normal course of our business. However, to our knowledge, we have not had any cybersecurity incidents in the past three years that have had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

**Item 2. Properties.**

Our principal executive office is located in Deerfield, Illinois. We operate 14 U.S. manufacturing facilities in 8 states and have 16 manufacturing facilities in international locations (4 in Mexico, 5 in Europe, 3 in Africa, 3 in Asia and 1 in Canada).

We are of the opinion that the properties are suitable to our respective businesses and have production capacities adequate to meet the current needs of our businesses.

**Item 3. Legal Proceedings.**

We are a defendant in lawsuits that are ordinary, routine litigation matters incidental to our businesses. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any litigation, it is possible that these actions could be decided unfavorably. We believe that there are meritorious defenses to these actions and that these actions will not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, and, where appropriate, these actions are being vigorously contested. Accordingly, we believe the likelihood of material loss is remote.

**Market Information, Dividends and Holders of Record**

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "FBIN".

In December 2025, our Board of Directors announced a quarterly cash dividend payable to stockholders of $0.26 per share of our common stock. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate dividend payment opportunities on a quarterly basis. There can be no assurance as to when and if future dividends will be paid, or at what level, because the payment of dividends is dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

The source of our unconsolidated revenues and funds is dividends and other payments from our subsidiary businesses. Our subsidiaries are not limited by long-term debt or other agreements in their abilities to pay cash dividends or to make other distributions with respect to their capital stock or other payments to us.

On February 6, 2026, there were 6,306 record holders of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share. A substantially greater number of holders of our common stock are "street name" or beneficial holders, whose shares of record are held by banks, brokers or other financial institutions.

# Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
**Introduction**

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is a supplement to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and provides additional information on our business, recent developments, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources, cash flows and results of operations. MD&A is organized as follows:

• Critical Accounting Estimates: This section identifies and summarizes those accounting policies that significantly impact our reported results of operations and financial condition and require significant judgment or estimates on the part of management in their application.

**Recent Developments**

In January 2025, we announced plans to consolidate our U.S. regional offices into one campus headquarters in Deerfield, Illinois to best position the Company and its brands for long-term growth. The decision is expected to deliver a world-class, collaborative office environment to fuel innovation, accelerate its digital solutions, and grow its core products. This significant investment was supported by annual tax credits offered through Illinois' Economic Development for a Growing Economy ("EDGE") program. We expect to qualify for these credits in 2025. In connection with these consolidation activities and related organizational and personnel changes, we will incur cash and non-cash charges related to employee relocation, severance, retention, non-cash asset related costs, lease exit costs, and other transition costs. The majority of charges have been incurred in 2025 with the remaining charges expected to be incurred in 2026.

**Overview**

We are an industry leading home, security and digital products company whose purpose is to elevate every life by transforming spaces into havens that is focused on the design, manufacture and sale of market-leading branded products in the following categories: plumbing and accessories, including digital water products, entry door and storm door systems, security and safety products, and outdoor performance materials used in decking and railing products.

For the year ended December 27, 2025, net sales based on country of destination were:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| *(In millions)* |  |  |
| United States | $3742.1 | 84% |
| Canada | 344.1 | 8 |
| China | 147.2 | 3 |
| Other international | 229.8 | 5 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $4463.2 | 100% |

---

We believe that we have certain competitive advantages including market-leading brands, a diversified mix of channels, lean and flexible supply chains and a strong capital structure, as well as a tradition of strong innovation and customer service. We are focused on outperforming our markets in growth, profitability and returns in order to drive increased stockholder value. We believe our track record reflects the long-term attractiveness and potential of the categories we serve and our leading brands. We believe the long-term outlook for our products remains favorable, and we have a number of strategic advantages, including the set of capabilities we refer to as the Fortune Brands Advantage, that has helped us to continue to achieve profitable organic growth over time.

We continue to believe our most attractive opportunities are to invest in profitable organic growth initiatives, pursue accretive strategic acquisitions, non-controlling equity investments, and joint ventures, and return cash to stockholders through a combination of dividends and repurchases of shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program as explained in further detail under "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

The U.S. market for our products primarily consists of spending on both new home construction and repair and remodel activities within existing homes, with a substantial majority of the markets we serve consisting of repair and remodel spending. Growth in the U.S. market for our home products will largely depend on consumer confidence, employment, wage growth, home prices, equity levels and rates of extraction, stable mortgage rates and credit availability. Increases in inflation and mortgage rates during the preceding years have slowed the pace of single-family and existing home sales activity and new home construction and repair and remodel activities. However, we believe we are well positioned to manage the continued slow-down in the housing market as we believe the fundamental drivers of the housing market remain intact.

We have been and may continue to be impacted by near-term supply, labor and freight constraints, a volatile geopolitical environment, as well as sustained elevated rates of inflation, fluctuating interest rates, unfavorable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the ongoing and potentially worsening costs of tariffs (including existing and potential U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on China, Canada and Mexico and other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries). We continue to manage these challenges and are diligently working to offset potential unfavorable impacts of these items through continuous productivity improvement initiatives and price increases.

We anticipate that, absent any mitigation efforts, our costs of goods sold will increase based on the tariffs that have been announced or imposed as of the date of this report. We are actively working to mitigate the anticipated impacts of tariffs through a combination of supply chain actions, cost-out activities and strategic pricing actions across all of our channels and brands. However, this is a rapidly evolving landscape, and our ability to mitigate the anticipated impacts of tariffs could be affected by a number of factors, including additional tariffs or trade-related sanctions imposed by the U.S. or other countries, and if we are ultimately not able to substantially mitigate the impacts of tariffs, there would be negative impacts to our results of operations. We are also unable at this time to determine any future negative impacts from reduced consumer spending as a result of inflationary or other macroeconomic pressures or uncertainty that may result from the imposition of current or future tariffs. We are currently monitoring, and will continue to monitor, potential changes to these tariffs or the imposition of reciprocal or other tariffs or trade restrictions by other countries.

During the three fiscal years ended December 27, 2025, our net sales declined at a compounded annual rate of 1.9% reflecting the contraction of the U.S. home products market and a decline in demand in our

------

international markets, partially offset by an increase in sales resulting from acquisitions. Operating income declined at a compounded annual rate of 12.6% with consolidated operating margins ranging between 12% and 16% from 2023 to 2025. The decline in operating income over this period was primarily due to the decline in net sales as well as asset impairment charges and higher restructuring and restructuring-related charges, partially offset by control over our operating expenses and the benefits of manufacturing productivity programs.

During 2025, the U.S. home products market contracted due to a decline in both new housing construction and repair and remodel activity. We believe new housing construction activity decreased approximately 6% and spending for home repair and remodeling decreased approximately 1% in 2025 compared to 2024. In 2025, our net sales declined 3.2% due to lower sales in our international markets ($80.8 million) and unfavorable foreign exchange ($2.3 million), partially offset by disciplined pricing actions, including strategic adjustments to mitigate tariff-related costs and lower customer sales incentives. In 2025, operating income decreased 30.1% over 2024 primarily due to higher restructuring and restructuring-related charges, asset impairment charges, raw material cost inflation and higher distribution costs. These factors were partially offset by continued productivity gains across the segments supported by strategic sourcing initiatives and manufacturing efficiencies as well as reductions to incentive compensation.

**Basis of Presentation**

The consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been derived from our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. The following discussion contains references to years 2025, 2024 and 2023, which represent fiscal years ended December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023.

**Results of Operations**

The discussion of consolidated results of operations should be read in conjunction with the discussion of segment results of operations and our financial statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. All amounts, percentages and disclosures for all periods presented reflect only our continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

Certain items had a significant impact on our results in 2025, 2024 and 2023. These included restructuring and restructuring-related charges, asset impairment charges, transaction expenses and the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

In 2025, financial results included:

• restructuring and restructuring-related charges of $109.1 million are primarily attributable to costs associated with the decision to consolidate our U.S. regional offices into one campus headquarters and our related organizational and personnel changes, a product-line rationalization within our Outdoors segment, and plant closures in all our segments;

• asset impairment charges of $53.6 million related to the impairment of certain assets held-for-sale within our Outdoors and Water segments;

------

• charges of $21.1 million related to a fire in a portion of a manufacturing facility within the Outdoors segment; and

• the impact of foreign exchange primarily due to movement in the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, British pound and Chinese yuan, which had an unfavorable impact compared to 2024 of approximately $2.3 million on net sales and approximately $0.2 million on both operating income and net income.

In 2024, financial results included:

• restructuring and restructuring-related other charges of $41.3 million largely related to costs associated with a product line rationalization within our Outdoors segment, the closure of a manufacturing facility within our Security segment and headcount actions across all segments; and

• the impact of foreign exchange primarily due to movement in the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, British pound and Chinese yuan, which had an unfavorable impact compared to 2024 of approximately $7 million on net sales and approximately $2 million on both operating income and net income.

In 2023, financial results included:

• restructuring and restructuring-related charges of $54.2 million largely related to costs associated with the closure of a manufacturing facility within our Security segment and headcount actions across all segments;

• asset impairment charges of $33.5 million related to the impairment of two indefinite-lived tradenames within our Outdoors segment, which were primarily the result of a decline in forecasted sales;

• the impact of foreign exchange primarily due to movement in the Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, British pound and Chinese yuan, which had an unfavorable impact compared to 2022 of approximately $24 million on net sales and approximately $7.9 million on both operating income and net income; and

• transaction expenses of $19.7 million related to the acquisition of the Emtek and Schaub premium and luxury door and cabinet hardware business (the "Emtek and Schaub Business") and the U.S. and Canadian Yale and August residential smart locks business (the "Yale and August Business", and, collectively with the Emtek and Schaub Business, the "Acquired Businesses") from ASSA ABLOY, Inc. and its affiliates ("ASSA").

**<u>2025 Compared to 2024</u>**

**Total Fortune Brands**

*Net sales*

Net sales decreased by $145.8 million, or 3.2%, primarily due to sales volume decreases in China of $87.8 million. The remaining decrease was due to lower overall sales volume in non-China markets, partially offset by disciplined pricing actions, including strategic adjustments to mitigate tariff-related costs and lower customer sales incentives. Net sales were unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of $2.3 million.

*Cost of products sold*

Cost of products sold decreased by $68.9 million, or 2.7%, primarily due to the lower sales volume, lower restructuring-related charges of $13.5 million and continued productivity gains across the segments, supported by strategic sourcing initiatives and manufacturing efficiencies, partially offset by tariff and cost inflation. Cost of products sold also includes losses, net of insurance recovery, of $21.1 million relating to a fire in a portion of a manufacturing facility within the Outdoors segment.

*Selling, general and administrative expenses*

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $53.0 million, or 4.3%, primarily due to higher restructuring-related charges of $41.6 million, distribution costs, and higher professional fees, partially offset by reductions to incentive compensation.

------

*Asset impairment charges*

In 2025, we determined that certain assets within the Outdoors and Water segments met the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale. Impairment charges of $53.6 million were recorded to reduce the carrying value of the assets to equal their fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

*Restructuring charges*

Restructuring charges of $52.4 million in 2025 are primarily due to $47.6 million of costs incurred in connection with our headquarters consolidation and our related organizational changes as well as plant closures in our Water and Outdoors segments. Restructuring charges of $16.2 million in 2024 are largely related to a product-line rationalization within our Outdoors segment, the closure of a manufacturing facility within our Security segment and headcount-reduction actions across all segments.

*Operating income*

Operating income decreased by $221.8 million, or 30.1%, primarily due to lower sales volume, material cost inflation, asset impairment charges of $53.6 million, higher distribution costs, and higher restructuring and restructuring-related charges of $67.8 million, partially offset by continued productivity gains across the segments supported by strategic sourcing initiatives and manufacturing efficiencies as well as reductions to incentive compensation.

*Interest expense*

Interest expense decreased by $5.3 million, or 4.4%, primarily due to lower interest rates on current-period commercial paper borrowings and lower senior unsecured notes outstanding, partially offset by higher commercial paper borrowings net of repayments of $368.8 million during the fifty-two weeks ended December 27, 2025, as compared to zero during the the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2024.

*Other (income) expense, net*

Other (income) expense, net, was income of $4.1 million in 2025, compared to expense of $11.9 million in 2024. The increase in other (income) expense, net is primarily due to a decrease in net periodic benefit expense of $11.0 million primarily due to the absence of a settlement loss in 2025, an increase in interest and investment income of $3.7 million, and a decrease in foreign currency transaction expense of $1.4 million.

*Income taxes*

The 2025 effective income tax rate was unfavorably impacted by state and local income taxes and dividend withholding tax, partially offset by decreases in uncertain tax positions.

The 2024 effective income tax rate was unfavorably impacted by state and local income taxes, foreign income taxed at higher rates, as well as non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by favorable benefits related to a valuation allowance release and decreases in uncertain tax positions and tax credits.

*Net income*

Net income was $298.8 million in the fifty-two weeks ended December 27, 2025, compared to $471.9 million in the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2024.

------

**<u>Results By Segment</u>**

**Water** 

Net sales decreased by $117.0 million, or 4.6%, primarily due to sales volume decreases in China of $87.8 million.

Net sales was unfavorably impacted by foreign exchange of $3.9 million.

Operating income decreased by $52.9 million, or 8.9%, primarily due to lower sales volume, material cost inflation, including tariff costs, higher restructuring and restructuring-related charges of $19.8 million, partially offset by manufacturing efficiencies and lower selling, general and administrative expenses, including reductions to incentive compensation.

**Outdoors**

Net sales decreased by $27.1 million, or 2.0%, primarily due to lower sales unit volume, partially offset by disciplined pricing actions, including strategic adjustments to mitigate tariff-related costs, and lower customer sales incentives.

Operating income decreased by $114.5 million, or 57.8%,due to lower sales unit volume, material cost inflation, including tariff costs, partially offset by manufacturing efficiencies. Operating income was also unfavorably impacted by asset impairment charges of $50.1 million and by charges, net of insurance recovery, of $21.1 million relating to a fire in a portion of a manufacturing facility.

**Security**

Net sales decreased by $1.7 million, or 0.2%, primarily due to lower sales unit volume, partially offset by disciplined pricing actions, including strategic adjustments to mitigate tariff-related costs, and lower customer sales incentives.

Operating income decreased by $20.5 million, or 20.4%, primarily due to lower sales unit volume, material cost inflation, including tariff costs, higher transportation costs as well as higher restructuring and restructuring-related charges of $13.5 million, partially offset by manufacturing efficiencies.

**Corporate**

Corporate expenses increased by $33.9 million, or 21.8%, primarily due to higher restructuring and restructuring-related charges of $33.4 million, higher professional fees and higher lease expense, partially offset by reductions to incentive compensation

**<u>2024 Compared to 2023</u>**

**Total Fortune Brands**

*Net sales*

Net sales decreased by $17.2 million, or 0.4%, primarily due to lower sales in our international markets ($136.7 million), higher customer sales incentives and unfavorable foreign exchange ($6.9 million), partially offset by the benefit from the acquisitions of Wise Water Solutions, LLC, doing business as Springwell Water Filtration Systems ("SpringWell") and the Acquired Businesses ($176.5 million).

*Cost of products sold*

Cost of products sold decreased by $172.1 million, or 6.3%, primarily due to raw material deflation, lower transportation costs and productivity improvements in all of our segments as a result of strategic sourcing initiatives and manufacturing efficiencies. These factors were partially offset by the impact of the acquisitions of SpringWell and the Acquired Businesses.

------

*Selling, general and administrative expenses*

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $70.7 million, or 6.1%, primarily due to the acquisitions of SpringWell and the Acquired Businesses, higher advertising and marketing costs, higher headcount-related costs and higher distribution expenses.

*Amortization of intangible assets*

Amortization of intangible assets increased by $11.0 million, primarily due to the acquisitions of SpringWell and the Acquired Businesses.

*Restructuring charges*

Restructuring charges of $16.2 million in 2024 are largely related to a product-line rationalization within our Outdoors segment, the closure of a manufacturing facility within our Security segment, and headcount actions across all segments. Restructuring charges of $32.5 million in 2023 are largely related to costs associated with the closure of the same manufacturing facility within our Security segment and headcount actions across all segments.

*Operating income*

Operating income increased by $123.0 million, or 20.0%, primarily due to the impacts of the acquisitions of SpringWell and the Acquired Businesses, raw material cost deflation, lower transportation costs, lower restructuring charges and productivity improvements in all of our segments as a result of strategic sourcing initiatives and manufacturing efficiencies as well as the absence of the 2023 asset impairment charges of $33.5 million. These factors were partially offset by increased intangible amortization expense as a result of the acquisitions of SpringWell and the Acquired Businesses ($11.4 million), higher customer sales incentives, higher advertising and marketing costs, higher headcount related costs and higher distribution expenses.

*Interest expense*

Interest expense increased by $4.0 million, or 3.4%, primarily due to higher floating rate debt borrowings in 2024 and higher fixed rate debt interest rates with the issuance of the $600 million outstanding principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due in June 2033 relative to the maturity and settlement of the $600 million outstanding principal amount of 4.000% Senior Notes due in September 2023.

*Other (income) expense, net*

Other (income) expense, net, was expense of $11.9 million in 2024, compared to income of $19.5 million in 2023. The decrease in other (income) expense, net is primarily due to higher net periodic benefit expense, a decrease in foreign currency transaction income and lower interest income.

*Income taxes*

The 2024 effective income tax rate was unfavorably impacted by state and local income taxes, foreign income taxed at higher rates, as well as non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by favorable benefits related to a valuation allowance release and decreases in uncertain tax positions and tax credits.

The 2023 effective income tax rate was unfavorably impacted by state and local income taxes and foreign income taxed at higher rates. This expense was offset by favorable benefits for the release of uncertain tax positions due to statute of limitations lapses and federal tax credits.

*Income from continuing operations, net of tax*

Income from continuing operations, net of income taxes, increased by $66.4 million, or 16.4%, due to higher operating income, partly offset by higher interest expense, higher income tax expense and lower other income, net.

------

**<u>Results By Segment</u>**

**Water** 

Net sales increased by $2.4 million, or 0.1%, primarily due to the benefit from the acquisitions of SpringWell and the Emtek and Schaub Business ($152.5 million), partially offset by lower organic sales volume (including sales volume declines within our China business of approximately $100.5 million), higher customer sales incentives and unfavorable foreign exchange ($6.0 million).

Operating income increased by $20.8 million, or 3.6%, primarily due to the benefit from the acquisitions of SpringWell and the Emtek and Schaub Business, productivity improvements as a result of strategic sourcing initiatives and manufacturing efficiencies, lower transportation costs and raw material cost deflation. These factors were partially offset by increased asset intangible amortization expense due to the impact of the acquisitions of SpringWell and the Emtek and Schaub Business ($11.1 million) and higher headcount related costs.

**Outdoors**

Net sales increased by $9.0 million, or 0.7%, primarily due to higher sales unit volume, partially offset by higher customer sales incentives and unfavorable channel mix.

Operating income increased by $64.5 million, or 48.3%, primarily due to the higher sales unit volume, raw material cost deflation and productivity improvements as a result of strategic sourcing initiatives and manufacturing efficiencies, partially offset by higher headcount related costs.

**Security**

Net sales decreased by $28.6 million, or 4.0%, primarily due to lower sales unit volume and higher customer sales incentives, partially offset by the benefit from the acquisition of the Yale and August Business (approximately $24.0 million).

Operating income increased by $38.0 million, or 60.9%, primarily due to lower restructuring charges, the benefit from the acquisition of the Yale and August Business, and productivity improvements as a result of strategic sourcing initiatives and manufacturing efficiencies, partially offset by the lower sales unit volume.

**Corporate** 

Corporate expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 0.2%, primarily due higher headcount related costs and costs related to our digital transformation efforts being mostly offset by a gain on the sale of Corporate fixed assets and the absence in the current period of nonrecurring costs related to the acquisition of the Acquired Businesses.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, cash borrowed under our credit facility and cash from debt issuances in the capital markets. We believe our cash on hand, operating cash flows, funds available under the credit facility and access to capital markets, provide sufficient liquidity to support the our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, other contractual commitments and service of indebtedness, as well as to finance acquisitions, repurchase shares of our common stock and pay dividends to stockholders, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate, both for the 12-month period following the 2025 fiscal year, and in the long-term.

Our cash flows from operations, borrowing availability and overall liquidity are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section entitled "Item 1A. Risk Factors." In addition, we cannot predict whether or when we may enter into acquisitions, joint ventures or dispositions, repurchase shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program or pay dividends, or what impact any such

------

transactions could have on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, whether as a result of the issuance of debt or equity securities or otherwise.

*Long-Term Debt*

In June 2025, we repaid all $500 million in aggregate principal of our 4.000% senior unsecured notes issued in June 2015 at their maturity date using a combination of cash on hand and commercial paper borrowings.

In September 2023, we repaid all $600 million in aggregate principal of our 2023 4.000% senior unsecured notes at their maturity date in September 2023 using cash on hand.

In June 2023, we issued $600 million in aggregate principal 5.875% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2033 in a registered public offering. We used the net proceeds from the notes offering to redeem our 2023 4.000% senior unsecured notes that matured in September 2023 and for general corporate purposes.

At December 27, 2025, we had aggregate outstanding notes in the principal amount of $2.2 billion, with varying maturities (the "Notes"). The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company. The following table provides a summary of our outstanding Notes, including the carrying value of the Notes, net of underwriting commissions, price discounts and debt issuance costs as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024:

*Credit Facilities*

In August 2022, we entered into a third amended and restated $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the "2022 Revolving Credit Agreement"), and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes. The maturity date of the facility is August 2027. Interest rates under the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement are variable based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") at the time of the borrowing and our long-term credit rating and can range from SOFR + 1.02% to SOFR + 1.525%. Under the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 3.0 to 1.0. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, losses from asset impairments, and certain other one-time adjustments. In addition, our ratio of consolidated debt minus certain cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA generally may not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. There were no outstanding borrowings under this facility as of December 27, 2025 or December 28, 2024. As of December 27, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.

In January 2026, we entered into a fourth amended and restated $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the "2026 Revolving Credit Agreement"). The 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement extends the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement for a five-year term maturing in January 2031. Borrowings under the 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement will bear interest at variable rates equal to, at the Company's election, the term SOFR rate applicable for an interest period selected by us. The applicable term SOFR rate margin will be determined based on the ratings of our senior unsecured long-term debt securities. The daily simple SOFR rate margins range from 0.80% to 1.30%. The required ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense and

------

the ratio of consolidated debt minus certain cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA under the 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement remained unchanged from the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement.

We currently have uncommitted bank lines of credit in China, which provide for unsecured borrowings for working capital of up to $30.5 million in aggregate as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, of which there were no outstanding balances as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024. The weighted-average interest rates on these borrowings were zero in 2025 and 2024.

*Commercial Paper*

We operate a commercial paper program (the "Commercial Paper Program") pursuant to which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes. Our 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement is the liquidity backstop for the repayment of any notes issued under the Commercial Paper Program, as amended, and as such, borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program are included in Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, with the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, including borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, not to exceed $1.25 billion. We expect to use any issuances under the Commercial Paper Program for general corporate purposes. Outstanding borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were $368.8 million and zero, respectively.

In our debt agreements, there are normal and customary events of default which would permit the lenders to accelerate the debt if not cured, in certain cases within applicable grace periods, such as failure to pay principal or interest when due or a change in control of the Company. There were no events of default as of December 27, 2025.

*Cash and Seasonality* 

In 2025, we invested approximately $57 million in incremental capacity to support long-term growth potential and new products inclusive of cost reduction and productivity initiatives. We expect capital spending in 2026 to be in the range of $110 million to $140 million. As of December 27, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $264.0 million, of which $234.9 million was held at non-U.S. subsidiaries. We manage our global cash requirements considering (i) available funds among the subsidiaries through which we conduct business, (ii) the geographic location of our liquidity needs, and (iii) the cost to access international cash balances. The repatriation of non-U.S. cash balances from certain subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences as we may be required to pay and record tax expense on those funds that are repatriated.

Our operating cash flows are significantly impacted by the seasonality of our business. We typically generate most of our operating cash flow in the third and fourth quarters of each year and we typically use operating cash in the first quarter of the year. We believe that our current cash position, cash flow generated from operations, amounts available under our revolving credit facility and access to the capital markets should be sufficient for our operating requirements and enable us to fund our capital expenditures, share repurchases dividend payments, and required long-term debt payments.

*Share Repurchases*

In 2025, we repurchased 4.0 million shares of our outstanding common stock under our share repurchase programs for $247.8 million. As of December 27, 2025, our total remaining share repurchase authorization under the program was approximately $827.2 million. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Shares may be repurchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise (including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, block trades and accelerated share repurchase transactions), in accordance with applicable securities laws.

*Dividends*

In 2025, we paid dividends in the amount of $120.6 million to our stockholders. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate dividend payment opportunities on a quarterly basis. There can be no assurance as to when and if future dividends will be paid, and at what level, because the payment of dividends is dependent on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Our subsidiaries are not limited by long-term debt or other agreements in

------

their abilities to pay cash dividends or to make other distributions with respect to their capital stock or other payments to us.

*Acquisitions*

We periodically review our portfolio of brands and evaluate potential strategic transactions and other capital initiatives to increase stockholder value.

On February 29, 2024, we acquired SpringWell for a purchase price of $105.6 million, net of cash acquired of $1.4 million. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit arrangements. The results of SpringWell are reported as part of the Water segment. We have not included pro forma financial information as the transaction is immaterial to our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of February 29, 2024, was $105.6 million, which includes $85.2 million of goodwill. Goodwill includes expected sales and cost synergies and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

In June 2023, we acquired the Acquired Businesses from ASSA. We completed the acquisition for a total purchase price of approximately $813.9 million, net of cash acquired of $21.9 million. During the second quarter of 2024, legal title to international operations in Vietnam transferred to us, which included a payment of approximately $23.5 million, net of cash of $5.6 million (which amount is already included in the overall purchase price). We financed the transaction with cash on hand. The results of the Emtek and Schaub Business are reported as part of the Water segment, and the results of the Yale and August Business are reported as part of the Security segment.

**Cash Flows**

Below is a summary of cash flows for years ended 2025, 2024, and 2023.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| *(In millions)* | *2025* | 2024 | 2023 |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $478.6 | $667.8 | $1055.8 |
| Net cash used in investing activities | (104.9) | (302.9) | (1037.8) |
| Net cash used in financing activities | (503.3) | (363.4) | (271.3) |
| Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash | 11.5 | (11.5) | 0.5 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $(118.1) | $(10.0) | $(252.8) |

---

Net cash provided by operating activities was $478.6 million in 2025, compared to $667.8 million in 2024. The $189.2 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities from 2024 to 2025 was primarily due to lower net income in 2025, an increase in inventory balances and a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities compared to the prior period, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.

The $388.0 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities from 2023 to 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in the rate of reduction in inventory balances compared to the prior period as result of our 2023 initiative to decrease inventory balances to align with the U.S. home product market activity, as well as a decrease in accounts payable. The absence of the $84.2 million settlement of our interest rate swaps in 2023 and a decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities also contributed to the decrease in cash provided by operating activities. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by higher net income in 2024.

Net cash used in investing activities was $104.9 million in 2025 compared to $302.9 million in 2024. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities of $198.0 million from 2024 to 2025 reflects the absence of acquisition-related outflows in 2025 and lower capital expenditures in 2025 as compared to 2024.The decrease in net cash used in investing activities of $734.9 million from 2023 to 2024 reflects the net cash paid for the acquisition of SpringWell for $105.6 million in 2024, as compared to the acquisition of the Acquired Businesses of $784.1 million in 2023, as well as a decrease in capital expenditures of $63.2 million.

------

Net cash used in financing activities was $503.3 million in 2025 compared to $363.4 million in 2024. The increase in net cash used in financing activities of $139.9 million was primarily due to higher net debt repayments in 2025 as compared to 2024 of $130.0 million and higher share repurchases in 2025 compared to 2024 of $7.4 million. The increase in net cash used in financing activities of $92.1 million from 2023 to 2024 was primarily due to higher share repurchases in 2024 as compared to 2023 of $90.4 million.

**Pension Plans**

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a buy-in annuity agreement with an insurance provider. The agreement features a buy-in of the plan assets with an option to elect a future buy-out conversion. As part of the buy-in, a majority of the assets of the Pension Plans were transferred to the insurance company in exchange for an annuity contract to further reduce the risk of plan asset value volatility. The Company retains the primary benefit obligation until the buy-out conversion is completed. Upon election of the buy-out conversion, we will transfer full responsibility of the obligations of the Pension Plans to the insurance company, at which time we will derecognize the assets and liabilities of the Pension Plans and realize a settlement loss as a component of net periodic pension cost.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, we entered into two agreements with an insurance company to purchase group annuity contracts and transferred $266.6 million of pension plan obligations and related assets of two of our defined benefit pension plans, the MasterLock Pension Plan and Moen Incorporated Pension Plan (collectively, the "Pension Plans"). The partial plan settlements resulted in a loss of $19.0 million, which is included in Other (expense) income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The agreements cover approximately 4,100 retirees and other beneficiaries (the "Transferred Participants"). All Transferred Participants continued to receive their benefits from the Pension Plans until January 1, 2025, at which time the insurance company began paying and administering the retirement benefits of the Transferred Participants. The transactions resulted in no changes to the amount of the benefits payable to the Transferred Participants.

Our subsidiaries sponsor their respective defined benefit pension plans, related to our continuing operations, that are funded by a portfolio of investments maintained within our benefit plan trust. We made no pension contributions to our qualified pension plans in 2025 or 2024 and made a voluntary contribution of $4.0 million in 2023. We expect to make discretionary pension contributions of approximately $5 million to $12 million in 2026. As of December 27, 2025, the fair value of our total pension plan assets was $188.3 million, representing funding of about 95% of the accumulated qualified benefit obligation liability. For the foreseeable future, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet the minimum funding that may be required by the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

**Foreign Exchange**

We have operations in various foreign countries, principally Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, China, South Africa, Vietnam and France. Therefore, changes in the value of the related currencies affect our financial statements when translated into U.S. dollars.

**Contractual Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments**

The following summarizes our contractual obligations and commitments as of December 27, 2025. Purchase obligations were $456.1 million, of which $429.9 million is due within one year. Purchase obligations include contracts for raw materials and finished goods purchases, selling and administrative services, and capital expenditures. Total lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases as of December 27, 2025 were $37.3 million in 2026, $41.2 million in 2027, $37.5 million in 2028, $31.8 million in 2029, $28.8 million in 2030 and $195.3 million thereafter.

Due to the uncertainty of the timing of settlement with taxing authorities, we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement of unrecognized tax benefits. Therefore, $21.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 27, 2025 have been excluded from the paragraph above.

In addition to the contractual obligations and commitments described above, we also had other commercial commitments for which we are contingently liable as of December 27, 2025. Other corporate commercial

------

commitments include standby letters of credit of $18.6 million, in the aggregate, all of which expire in less than one year, and surety bonds of $42.3 million, the majority of which matures in less than two years. These contingent commitments are not expected to have a significant impact on our liquidity.

Debt payments due during the next five years as of December 27, 2025 are zero in 2026, $370 million in 2027, zero in 2028, $700 million in 2029, zero in 2030, and $1,500 million in 2031 and beyond. Interest payments due during the next five years as of December 27, 2025 are $96.3 million in 2026, $192.5 million in 2027 through 2028, $169.8 million in 2029 through 2030 and $550.5 million in 2031 and beyond.

**Foreign Currency Risk**

Certain anticipated transactions, assets and liabilities are exposed to foreign currency risk. Principal currencies that are usually hedged include the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso, the British pound, Chinese yuan and the South African rand. We regularly monitor our foreign currency exposures in order to maximize the overall effectiveness of our foreign currency hedge positions. For additional information on this risk, see Item 7A. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Derivative Financial Instruments**

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") requirements for Derivatives and Hedging, we recognize all derivative contracts as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, and the measurement of those instruments is at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge and is effective, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the same period. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income ("OCI") and are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the hedged item affects earnings. If the derivative is designated as an effective economic hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation, the changes in the fair value of the derivative is reported in the cumulative translation adjustment section of OCI. Similar to foreign currency translation adjustments, these changes in fair value are recognized in earnings only when realized upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity.

Deferred currency gains (losses) of $1.3 million, $(0.4) million and $5.2 million (before tax impact) were reclassified into earnings for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Based on foreign exchange rates as of December 27, 2025, we estimate that $11.3 million of net derivative gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") as of December 27, 2025, will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.

**Recently Issued Accounting Standards**

Refer to Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussion of recently issued accounting standards.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, "Significant Accounting Policies," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Preparation of the financial statements requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements and revenues and expenses reported for the relevant reporting periods. We believe the policies discussed below are our critical accounting policies as they include the more significant, subjective and complex judgments and estimates made when preparing our consolidated financial statements.

------

*Inventories*

Inventory provisions are recorded to reduce inventory to the net realizable dollar value for obsolete or slow-moving inventory based on assumptions about future demand and marketability of products, the impact of new product introductions, inventory levels and turns, product spoilage and specific identification of items, such as product discontinuance, engineering/material changes, or regulatory-related changes. In accordance with this policy, our inventory provision was $89.9 million and $69.3 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.

*Long-lived Assets*

---

| |
|:---|
| In accordance with ASC requirements for Property, plant and equipment, a long-lived asset (including amortizable identifiable intangible assets) or asset group held for use is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events occur, we compare the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group. The cash flows are based on our best estimate of future cash flows derived from the most recent business projections. If this comparison indicates that there is an impairment, the amount of the impairment is calculated based on fair value. Fair value is estimated primarily using discounted expected future cash flows on a market-participant basis.<br>In the third quarter of 2025, we determined that certain assets, with a carrying value of $166.7 million as of December 28, 2024, met the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale and ceased recording depreciation. Management's decision to dispose of the assets was made as a result of refocusing the business on areas with better growth and profitability potential, while utilizing additional capacity at existing manufacturing facilities. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we determined that assets, with a carrying value of $12.9 million as of December 28, 2024, met the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale and ceased recording depreciation. Management's decision to dispose of the assets was made as a result of the decision to consolidate its U.S. regional offices into one campus headquarters. We concluded the carrying value of these assets exceeded their fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and recorded an impairment charge of $50.1 million within the Outdoors segment and $3.5 million within the Water segment. The estimated fair values were determined using a combination of market and income approaches, which were based on valuation assumptions including certain Level 3 inputs. These assumptions included estimated sublease rental income, discount rates, market sales data and other market participant assumptions. The assets were reclassified from Property, plant and equipment, net to Assets held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
| No material impairments related to long-lived assets were recorded in 2024 or 2023. |

*Business Combinations*

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, *Business Combinations,* which requires an allocation of the consideration we paid to the identifiable assets, intangible assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets, intangible assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.

Purchased intangibles other than goodwill are initially recognized at fair value and amortized over their useful lives unless those lives are determined to be indefinite. The valuation of acquired assets will impact future operating results. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined using an income approach on an individual asset basis. Specifically, we use the multi-period excess earnings method to determine the fair value of customer relationships and the relief-from-royalty approach to determine the fair value of the tradename and proprietary technology. Determining the fair value of acquired intangibles involves significant estimates and assumptions, including forecasted revenue growth rates, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margins, percentage of revenue attributable to the tradename, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rate, market-participant discount rates, the assumed royalty rates and income tax rates.

------

The determination of the useful life of an intangible asset other than goodwill is based on factors including historical tradename performance with respect to consumer name recognition, geographic market presence, market share, plans for ongoing tradename support and promotion, customer attrition rate and other relevant factors.

*Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets*

In accordance with ASC requirements for Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, management reviews goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and whenever market or business events indicate there may be a potential impairment of the reporting unit. Impairment losses are recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Our reporting units are operating segments, or one level below operating segments when appropriate.

To evaluate the recoverability of goodwill, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. Qualitative factors include changes in volume, margin, customers and the industry. If it is deemed more likely than not that goodwill for a reporting unit is impaired, we will perform a quantitative impairment test where fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using the income approach using a discounted cash flow model based on estimates of future cash flows combined with the market approach using comparable trading and transaction multiples based on guideline public companies. We may also elect to bypass the qualitative testing and proceed directly to the quantitative testing. For the income approach, using a discounted cash flow model, we estimate the future cash flows of the reporting units to which the goodwill relates and then discount the future cash flows at a market-participant-derived discount rate. In determining the estimated future cash flows, we consider current and projected future levels of income based on management's plans for that business; business trends, prospects and market and economic conditions; and market-participant considerations. Furthermore, our cash flow projections used to assess impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets are significantly influenced by our projection for the U.S. new home starts and home repair remodel spending, our annual operating plans finalized in the fourth quarter of each year, and our ability to execute on various planned cost reduction initiatives supporting operating income improvements. Our projection for the U.S. home products market is inherently uncertain and is subject to a number of factors, such as employment, home prices, credit availability, new home starts and the rate of home foreclosures. For the market approach, we apply comparable trading and transaction multiples based on guideline public companies to the current operating results of the reporting units to determine each reporting unit's fair value.

The significant assumptions that are used to determine the estimated fair value of reporting units for impairment testing are forecasted revenue growth rates, operating income margins, market-participant discount rates and EBITDA multiples.

The assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the goodwill related to continuing operations tested quantitatively during the year ended December 27, 2025 were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Unobservable Input | 2025 |
| Discount rate | 11.8% |
| Long-term revenue growth rates<sup>(a)</sup> | 3.0% |
| EBITDA multiple | 9.3 |

---

<sup>(a)</sup>*Selected long-term revenue growth rate for the goodwill that was tested quantitatively.*

A 50 basis point change in the discount rate or long-term revenue growth rate assumptions, or a decrease in multiple of 1.0 in the EBITDA multiple assumption, during the year ended December 27, 2025 would not have resulted in an impairment being recognized when estimating the fair value of our reporting unit goodwill.

Certain of our tradenames have been assigned an indefinite life as we currently anticipate that these tradenames will contribute cash flows to us indefinitely. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are evaluated at least annually to determine whether the indefinite useful life is appropriate. We measure the fair value of identifiable intangible assets upon acquisition and we review for impairment annually in the

------

fourth quarter and whenever market or business events indicate there may be a potential impairment of that intangible. Impairment losses are recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value.

We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. Qualitative factors include changes in volume, customers and the industry. If it is deemed more likely than not that an intangible asset is impaired, we will perform a quantitative impairment test. We measure fair value of our indefinite-lived tradenames using the relief-from-royalty approach which estimates the present value of royalty income that could be hypothetically earned by licensing the brand name to a third party. The significant assumptions that are used to determine the estimated fair value for indefinite-lived intangible assets upon acquisition and subsequent impairment testing are forecasted revenue growth rates, the assumed royalty rates and the market-participant discount rates. See Note 5, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, a reduction in revenue growth expectations, which were finalized during our annual planning process, led us to conclude that it was more likely than not that two indefinite-lived tradenames within our Outdoors segment were impaired. As a result of the impairment tests performed, we recorded pre-tax impairment charges of $28.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively, related to the two indefinite-lived tradenames.

The fair values of the impaired tradenames were measured using the relief-from-royalty approach, which estimates the present value of royalty income that could be hypothetically earned by licensing the tradename to a third party over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include forecasted revenue growth rates, assumed royalty rates, and market-participant discount rates that reflect the level of risk associated with the tradenames' future revenues and profitability. We selected the assumptions used in the financial forecasts using historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates and management plans. These assumptions represent level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy (refer to Note 9, "Fair Value Measurements," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K).

The assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the tradenames tested quantitatively during the year ended December 27, 2025 were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 2025 | 2025 | 2025 |
| Unobservable Input | Minimum | Maximum | Weighted Average<sup>(a)</sup> |
| Discount rates | 12.0% | 14.5% | 13.9% |
| Royalty rates<sup>(b)</sup> | 2.5% | 3.5% | 2.8% |
| Long-term revenue growth rates<sup>(c)</sup> | 3.0% | 3.0% | 3.0% |

---

<sup>(a)</sup>*Weighted by the relative fair value of the tradenames that were tested quantitatively.*

<sup>(b)</sup>*Represents estimated percentage of sales a market-participant would pay to license the tradenames that were tested quantitatively.*

<sup>(c)</sup>*Selected long-term revenue growth rate of the tradenames that were tested quantitatively.*

For the indefinite-lived tradenames tested quantitatively in 2025, a 50 basis point change in the royalty rate assumption would result in an impairment of those tradenames of approximately $3.5 million; a 50 basis point change in the discount rate assumption would result in an impairment of approximately $2.1 million; and a 50 basis point change in the long-term revenue growth rate assumption would result in an impairment of approximately $1.8 million.

*Defined Benefit Plans*

We have a number of pension plans in the United States, covering certain employees. In addition, we provide postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees. Service cost for 2025 relates to benefit accruals for an hourly Union group within the defined benefit plan for our Security segment. All other benefit accruals under our defined benefit pension plans were frozen as of, or prior to, December 31, 2016.

------

We recognize changes in the net actuarial gains or losses in other income, net to the extent they exceed 10 percent of the greater of the fair value of pension plan assets or projected benefit obligation for each plan (the "corridor") in earnings immediately upon remeasurement, which is at least annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Net actuarial gains and losses occur when actual experience differs from any of the assumptions used to value defined benefit plans or when assumptions change as they may each year. The primary factors contributing to actuarial gains and losses are changes in the discount rate used to value obligations as of the measurement date and the differences between expected and actual returns on pension plan assets. This accounting method results in the potential for volatile and difficult to forecast gains and losses. The pre-tax recognition of actuarial losses was $0.3 million and $18.2 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The total unrecognized net actuarial losses in accumulated other comprehensive income for all defined benefit plans were $11.6 million as of December 27, 2025, compared to $12.3 million as of December 28, 2024.

We record amounts relating to these defined benefit plans based on various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current economic conditions and trends. We believe that the assumptions utilized in recording our obligations under our plans are reasonable based on our experience and on advice from our independent actuaries; however, differences in actual experience or changes in the assumptions may materially affect our financial condition or results of operations. The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined based on the nature of the plans' investments, our current asset allocation and our expectations for long-term rates of return. The weighted-average long-term expected rate of return on pension plan assets for the years ended December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 was 6.2% and 7.3%, respectively.

The discount rate used to measure obligations is based on a spot-rate yield curve on a plan-by-plan basis that matches projected future benefit payments with the appropriate interest rate applicable to the timing of the projected future benefit payments. The bond portfolio used for the selection of the discount rate is from the top quartile of bonds rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, and includes only non-callable bonds and those that are deemed to be sufficiently marketable with a Moody's credit rating of Aa or higher. The weighted-average discount rate for defined benefit liabilities as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 was 4.9% and 5.7%, respectively.

For the postretirement benefits obligation, our health care trend rate assumption is based on historical cost increases and expectations for long-term increases. As of December 27, 2025, for postretirement medical and prescription drugs in the next year, our assumption was an assumed rate of increase of 6.9% for pre-65 retirees and 7.4% for post-65 retirees, declining until reaching an ultimate assumed rate of increase of 4.5% per year in 2035. As of December 28, 2024, for postretirement medical and prescription drugs in the next year, our assumption was an assumed rate of increase of 7.1% for pre-65 retirees and 7.5% for post-65 retirees, declining until reaching an ultimate assumed rate of increase of 4.5% per year in 2035.

Below is a table showing pre-tax pension and postretirement expenses, including the impact of actuarial gains and losses (which includes settlement losses):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| *(In millions)* | *2025* | 2024 |
| Total pension cost | $0.7 | $11.6 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Actuarial loss component of cost above |  | 18.5 |
| Total postretirement cost (income) | 0.1 | 0.6 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Actuarial (gain) component of cost (income) above | (0.3) | (0.3) |

---

Discount rates in 2025 used to determine benefit obligations decreased by an average of 80 basis points for pension benefits. Discount rates for 2025 postretirement benefits decreased by an average of 60 basis points. Discount rates in 2024 used to determine benefit obligations increased by an average of 70 basis points for pension benefits. Discount rates for 2024 postretirement benefits increased an average of 110 basis points. Our actual gain on plan assets in 2025 was 0.4% compared to an actuarial assumption of an average 6.2% expected return. Our actual gain on plan assets in 2024 was 0.3% compared to an actuarial assumption of an average 7.3% expected return. Significant actuarial losses in future periods would be expected if discount rates decline, actual returns on plan assets are lower than our expected return, or a combination of both occurs.

------

A 25 basis point change in our discount rate assumption would lead to an increase or decrease in our pension and postretirement liability of approximately $4 million. A 25 basis point change in the long-term rate of return on plan assets used in accounting for our pension plans would have a $0.1 million impact on pension expense. In addition, if required, actuarial gains and losses will be recorded in accordance with our defined benefit plan accounting method as previously described. It is not possible to forecast or predict whether there will be actuarial gains and losses in future periods, and if required, the magnitude of any such adjustment. These gains and losses are driven by differences in actual experience or changes in the assumptions that are beyond our control, such as changes in interest rates and the actual return on pension plan assets.

*Income Taxes*

In accordance with ASC requirements for Income Taxes, we establish deferred tax liabilities or assets for temporary differences between financial and tax reporting basis and subsequently adjust them to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. We record a valuation allowance reducing deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

We record liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is recognition, where we evaluate whether an individual tax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, no tax benefit is recorded. For tax positions that have met the recognition threshold in the first step, we perform the second step of measuring the benefit to be recorded. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from our estimates. In future periods, changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may require us to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets in the period in which such changes occur. As of December 27, 2025, we had liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits pertaining to uncertain tax positions totaling $21.1 million.

*Customer Program Costs*

Customer programs and incentives are a common practice in our businesses. Our businesses incur customer program costs to obtain favorable product placement, to promote sales of products and to maintain competitive pricing. We record estimates to reduce revenue for customer programs and incentives, which are considered variable consideration, and include price discounts, volume-based incentives, promotions and cooperative advertising when revenue is recognized in order to determine the amount of consideration we will ultimately be entitled to receive. These estimates are based on historical and projected experience for each type of customer. In addition, for certain customer program incentives, we receive an identifiable benefit (goods or services) in exchange for the consideration given and record the associated expenditure in selling, general and administrative expenses. Volume allowances are accrued based on management's estimates of customer volume achievement and other factors incorporated into customer agreements, such as new products, store sell-through, merchandising support, levels of returns and customer training. Management periodically reviews accruals for these rebates and allowances, and adjusts accruals when circumstances indicate (typically as a result of a change in volume expectations).

# Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualita tive Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We enter into financial instruments to manage and reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The counterparties are major financial institutions.

**Interest Rate Risk**

We had $368.8 million of external variable rate borrowings as of December 27, 2025. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates affecting our external variable rate borrowings as of December 27, 2025 would increase annual pre-tax interest expense by $3.7 million.

**Foreign Exchange Rate Risk**

We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts principally to hedge currency fluctuations in transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies, thereby limiting our risk that would otherwise result from changes in exchange rates. The periods of the forward foreign exchange contracts correspond to the periods of the hedged transactions.

The estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts represents the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices.

The estimated potential loss under foreign exchange contracts from movement in foreign exchange rates would not have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. As part of our risk management procedure, we use a value-at-risk ("VAR") sensitivity analysis model to estimate the maximum potential economic loss from adverse changes in foreign exchange rates over a one-day period given a 95% confidence level. The VAR model uses historical foreign exchange rates to estimate the volatility and correlation of these rates in future periods. The estimated maximum one-day loss in the fair value of our foreign currency exchange contracts using the VAR model was $1.7 million at December 27, 2025. The 95% confidence interval signifies our degree of confidence that actual losses under foreign exchange contracts would not exceed the estimated losses. The amounts disregard the possibility that foreign currency exchange rates could move in our favor. The VAR model assumes that all movements in the foreign exchange rates will be adverse. These amounts should not be considered projections of future losses, since actual results may differ significantly depending upon activity in the global financial markets. The VAR model is a risk analysis tool and should not be construed as an endorsement of the VAR model or the accuracy of the related assumptions.

**Commodity Price Risk**

We are subject to commodity price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, geopolitical and economic variables, and other unpredictable external factors. From time to time, we use derivative contracts to manage our exposure to commodity price volatility.

**Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc.

***Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting*** 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2025, including the related notes and schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2025 appearing after Item 16 and the signatures (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework* (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 27, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control - Integrated Framework* (2013) issued by the COSO.

***Basis for Opinions***

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company's consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

------

***Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

***Critical Audit Matter*** 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

*Revenue Recognition*

As described in Notes 2 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's total net revenues were $4,463 million for the year ended December 27, 2025. The Company recognizes revenue for the sale of goods based on management's assessment of when control transfers to its customers, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery of the products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods to its customers. Management records estimates to reduce revenue for customer programs and incentives, which are considered variable consideration, and include price discounts, volume-based incentives, promotions and cooperative advertising when revenue is recognized in order to determine the amount of consideration the Company will ultimately be entitled to receive.

The principal consideration for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition is a critical audit matter is a high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures related to the Company's revenue recognition.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the revenue recognition process, including controls over the recording of revenue at the transaction price once control passes to the customer. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing the completeness and accuracy of certain data provided by management; (ii) evaluating certain revenue transactions by agreeing certain information between the sales order and related delivery document and billing document, and where applicable, obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as purchase orders, invoices, proof of shipment or delivery, and, cash receipts; (iii) evaluating certain revenue transactions by testing the issuance and settlement of invoices and credit memos and tracing transactions not settled to a detailed listing of accounts receivable; (iv) evaluating certain revenue transactions, on a sample basis, by obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as purchase orders, invoices, proof of shipment or delivery, and, where applicable, cash receipts; (v) confirming, on a sample

------

basis, outstanding customer invoice balances as of December 27, 2025 and, for confirmations not returned, obtaining and inspecting source documents, such as purchase orders, invoices, proof of shipment or delivery, and subsequent cash receipts; and (vi) testing a sample of sales incentive transactions by obtaining and inspecting source documents which included support for the nature of the incentive, amount, and agreement with the customer.

**Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements**

**1. Background and Basis of Presentation**

The Company is an industry leading home, security and digital products company whose purpose is to elevate every life by transforming spaces into havens that has a portfolio of leading branded products used for residential home repair, remodeling, new construction and security applications. References to "Fortune Brands," "the Company," "we," "our" and "us" refer to Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole, unless the context otherwise requires.

**Basis of Presentation** The consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been derived from our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. These notes contain references to the years 2025, 2024 and 2023, which represents fiscal years ended December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively.

On February 29, 2024, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Wise Water Solutions, LLC, doing business as Springwell Water Filtration Systems ("SpringWell") for a purchase price of $105.6 million, net of cash acquired of $1.4 million. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility. The results of SpringWell are reported as part of the Water Innovations ("Water") segment. We have not included pro forma financial information as the transaction is immaterial to our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of February 29, 2024, was $105.6 million, which includes $85.2 million of goodwill. Goodwill includes expected sales and cost synergies and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes..

In June 2023, we acquired the Emtek and Schaub premium and luxury door and cabinet hardware business (the "Emtek and Schaub Business") and the U.S. and Canadian Yale and August residential smart locks business (the "Yale and August Business", and, collectively with the Emtek and Schaub Business, the "Acquired Businesses") from ASSA ABLOY, Inc. and its affiliates ("ASSA"). The Company completed the acquisition for a total purchase price of approximately $813.9 million, net of cash acquired of $21.9 million. During the second quarter of 2024, legal title to international operations in Vietnam transferred to us, which included a payment of approximately $23.5 million, net of cash of $5.6 million (which amount is already included in the overall purchase price). We financed the transaction with cash on hand. The results of the Emtek and Schaub Business are reported as part of the Water segment, and the results of the Yale and August Business are reported as part of the Security segment.

**2. Significant Accounting Policies**

**Use of Estimates** The presentation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results in future periods could differ from those estimates.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents** Highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are included in cash and cash equivalents.

**Allowances for Credit Losses** Trade receivables are recorded at the stated amount, less allowances for discounts and credit losses. The allowances represent estimated uncollectible receivables associated with potential customer defaults on contractual obligations (usually due to customers' potential insolvency) or discounts related to early payment of accounts receivables by our customers. The allowances for credit losses include provisions for certain customers where a risk of default has been specifically identified. In addition, the allowances include a provision for expected customer defaults on a general formula basis when it cannot yet be associated with specific customers. Expected credit losses are estimated using various factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, historical collection experience and existing economic conditions. In accordance with this policy, our allowance for credit losses was $10.0 million and $7.0 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.

------

**Inventories** We use first-in, first-out inventory method. Inventory provisions are recorded to reduce inventory to the net realizable dollar value for obsolete or slow moving inventory based on assumptions about future demand and marketability of products, the impact of new product introductions, inventory levels and turns, product spoilage and specific identification of items, such as product discontinuance, engineering/material changes, or regulatory-related changes.

**Property, Plant and Equipment** Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided, principally on a straight-line basis, over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Gains or losses resulting from dispositions are included in operating income. Betterments and renewals, which improve and extend the life of an asset, are capitalized; maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Assets held for use to be disposed of at a future date are depreciated over the remaining useful life. Assets to be sold are written down to fair value less costs to sell at the time the assets are being actively marketed for sale. Estimated useful lives of the related assets are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Buildings and leasehold improvements | 15 to 40 years |
| Machinery and equipment | 3 to 15 years |
| Software | 3 to 7 years |

---

**Long-lived Assets** In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") requirements for Property, Plant and Equipment, a long-lived asset (including amortizable identifiable intangible assets) or asset group held for use is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events occur, we compare the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group. The cash flows are based on our best estimate of future cash flows derived from the most recent business projections. If this comparison indicates that there is an impairment, the amount of the impairment is calculated based on fair value. Fair value is estimated primarily using discounted expected future cash flows on a market-participant basis.

In the third quarter of 2025, we determined that certain assets, with a carrying value of $166.7 million as of December 28, 2024, met the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale and ceased recording depreciation. Management's decision to dispose of the assets was made as a result of refocusing the business on areas with better growth and profitability potential, while utilizing additional capacity at existing manufacturing facilities. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we determined that assets, with a carrying value of $12.9 million as of December 28, 2024, met the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale and ceased recording depreciation. Management's decision to dispose of the assets was made as a result of the decision to consolidate its U.S. regional offices into one campus headquarters. We concluded the carrying value of these assets exceeded their fair value, less estimated costs to sell, and recorded an impairment charge of $50.1 million within the Outdoors segment and $3.5 million within the Water segment. The estimated fair values were determined using a combination of market and income approaches, which were based on valuation assumptions including certain Level 3 inputs. These assumptions included estimated sublease rental income, discount rates, market sales data and other market participant assumptions. The assets were reclassified from Property, plant and equipment, net to Assets held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

No material impairments related to long-lived assets were recorded in 2024 or 2023.

**Leases** Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our lease contracts do not provide an explicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of future lease payments. Our incremental borrowing rates include estimates related to the impact of collateralization and the economic environment where the leased asset is located. The operating lease assets also include any prepaid lease payments and initial direct costs incurred, but exclude lease incentives received at lease commencement. Our lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. As of December 27, 2025, our leases have remaining lease terms of one to 33 years, some of which may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

------

We do not recognize leases with an initial term of twelve months or less on the balance sheet and instead recognize the related lease payments as expense in the consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all asset classes. Additionally, for certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach and account for multiple lease components as a single lease component.

Certain lease agreements include variable rental payments, including rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Variable rental payments are expensed during the period they are incurred and therefore are excluded from our lease assets and liabilities. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

**Business Combinations** We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, *Business Combinations,* which requires an allocation of the consideration we paid to the identifiable assets, intangible assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets, intangible assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.

Purchased intangibles other than goodwill are initially recognized at fair value and amortized over their useful lives unless those lives are determined to be indefinite. The valuation of acquired assets will impact future operating results. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is determined using an income approach on an individual asset basis. Specifically, we use the multi-period excess earnings method to determine the fair value of customer relationships and the relief-from-royalty approach to determine the fair value of the tradename and proprietary technology. Determining the fair value of acquired intangibles involves significant estimates and assumptions, including forecasted revenue growth rates, EBIT margins, percentage of revenue attributable to the tradename, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rate, market-participant discount rates, the assumed royalty rates and income tax rates.

The determination of the useful life of an intangible asset other than goodwill is based on factors including historical tradename performance with respect to consumer name recognition, geographic market presence, market share, plans for ongoing tradename support and promotion, customer attrition rate, and other relevant factors.

**Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets** In accordance with ASC requirements for Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, management reviews goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and whenever market or business events indicate there may be a potential impairment of the reporting unit. Impairment losses are recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. Our reporting units are operating segments, or one level below operating segments when appropriate.

To evaluate the recoverability of goodwill, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. Qualitative factors include changes in volume, margin, customers and the industry. If it is deemed more likely than not that goodwill for a reporting unit is impaired, we will perform a quantitative impairment test where fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using the income approach using a discounted cash flow model based on estimates of future cash flows combined with the market approach using comparable trading and transaction multiples based on guideline public companies. We may also elect to bypass the qualitative testing and proceed directly to the quantitative testing. For the income approach, using a discounted cash flow model, we estimate the future cash flows of the reporting units to which the goodwill relates and then discount the future cash flows at a market-participant-derived discount rate. In determining the estimated future cash flows, we consider current and projected future levels of income based on management's plans for that business; business trends, prospects and market and economic conditions; and market-participant considerations. Furthermore, our cash flow projections used to assess impairment of our goodwill and other intangible assets are significantly influenced by our projection for the U.S. new home starts and home repair remodel spending, our annual operating plans finalized in the fourth quarter of each year, and our ability to execute on various planned cost reduction initiatives supporting operating income improvements. Our projection for the U.S. home products market is inherently uncertain and is subject to a number of factors, such as employment, home prices, credit availability, new home starts and the rate of home foreclosures. For the market approach, we apply comparable trading and transaction multiples based on guideline public companies to the current operating results of the reporting units to determine each reporting unit's fair value.

------

The significant assumptions that are used to determine the estimated fair value of reporting units for impairment testing are forecasted revenue growth rates, operating income margins, market-participant discount rates and EBITDA multiples.

Certain of our tradenames have been assigned an indefinite life as we currently anticipate that these tradenames will contribute cash flows to us indefinitely. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are evaluated at least annually to determine whether the indefinite useful life is appropriate. We measure the fair value of identifiable intangible assets upon acquisition and we review for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and whenever market or business events indicate there may be a potential impairment of that intangible. Impairment losses are recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value.

We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. Qualitative factors include changes in volume, customers and the industry. If it is deemed more likely than not that an intangible asset is impaired, we will perform a quantitative impairment test. We measure fair value of our indefinite-lived tradenames using the relief-from-royalty approach which estimates the present value of royalty income that could be hypothetically earned by licensing the brand name to a third party. The significant assumptions that are used to determine the estimated fair value for indefinite-lived intangible assets upon acquisition and subsequent impairment testing are forecasted revenue growth rates, the assumed royalty rates and the market-participant discount rates. Of our $519.8 million indefinite-lived tradenames, $216.5 million relate to our Water segment, $271.2 million relate to our Outdoors segment and $32.0 million relate to our Security segment as of December 27, 2025. There were no impairments for the year ended December 27, 2025. See Note 5, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets," for additional information.

Events or circumstances that could have a potential negative effect on the estimated fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived tradenames include: lower than forecasted revenues, actual new construction and repair and remodel growth rates that fall below our assumptions, actions of key customers, increases in discount rates, continued economic uncertainty, higher levels of unemployment, weak consumer confidence, lower levels of discretionary consumer spending, a decrease in royalty rates and decline in the trading price of our common stock. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived assets.

**Investments in Equity Securities** In accordance with ASC requirements for investments in equity securities, we utilize the equity method to account for investments when we possess the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial policies of the investee. The ability to exercise significant influence is presumed when the investor possesses more than 20% of the voting interests of the investee. This presumption may be overcome based on specific facts and circumstances that demonstrate that the ability to exercise significant influence is restricted. In applying the equity method, we record our investment at cost and subsequently increase or decrease the carrying amount of the investment by our proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of the investee. We record dividends or other equity distributions as reductions in the carrying value of our investment.

When we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, we account for non-controlling investments in equity securities at fair value, with any gains or losses recognized through other income and expense. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost minus impairment, plus or minus any changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer.

**Defined Benefit Plans** We have a number of pension plans in the United States, covering certain Company's employees. In addition, the Company provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees. Except with respect to a group of hourly employees within our Security segment, all benefit accruals under our defined benefit pension plans were frozen as of, or prior to, December 31, 2016.

------

We record amounts relating to these plans based on calculations in accordance with ASC requirements for Compensation – Retirement Benefits, which include various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, assumed rates of return, compensation increases, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates. Actuarial gains or losses related to these assumptions represent the difference between actual and actuarially assumed experience. We recognize changes in the net actuarial gains or losses in other income, net to the extent they exceed 10 percent of the greater of the fair value of pension plan assets or projected benefit obligation for each plan (the "corridor") in earnings immediately upon remeasurement. The measurement date for all plans was December 31 for the years ended 2025, 2024 and 2023. The Company applies the practical expedient under ASU 2015-04 to measure defined benefit retirement obligations and related plan assets as of the month-end that is closest to the fiscal year-end.

We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current economic conditions and trends. The discount rate used to measure obligations is based on a spot-rate yield curve on a plan-by-plan basis that matches projected future benefit payments with the appropriate interest rate applicable to the timing of the projected future benefit payments. The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined based on the nature of the plans' investments, our current asset allocation and our expectations for long-term rates of return. Compensation increases reflect expected future compensation trends. For postretirement benefits, our health care trend rate assumption is based on historical cost increases and expectations for long-term increases. The cost or benefit of plan changes, such as increasing or decreasing benefits for prior employee service (prior service cost), is deferred and included in expense on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of the related employees. We believe that the assumptions utilized in recording obligations under our plans, which are presented in Note 14, "Defined Benefit Plans," are reasonable based on our experience and on advice from our independent actuaries; however, differences in actual experience or changes in the assumptions may materially affect our financial position and results of operations. We will continue to monitor these assumptions as market conditions warrant.

**Insurance Reserves** We provide for expenses associated with workers' compensation and product liability obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change that would affect the estimated liability.

**Litigation Contingencies** Our businesses are subject to risks related to threatened or pending litigation and are routinely defendants in lawsuits associated with the normal conduct of business. Liabilities and costs associated with litigation-related loss contingencies require estimates and judgments based on our knowledge of the facts and circumstances surrounding each matter and the advice of our legal counsel. We record liabilities for litigation-related losses when a loss is probable and we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss in accordance with ASC requirements for Contingencies. We evaluate the measurement of recorded liabilities each reporting period based on the then-current facts and circumstances specific to each matter. The ultimate losses incurred upon final resolution of litigation-related loss contingencies may differ materially from the estimated liability recorded at any particular balance sheet date. Changes in estimates are recorded in earnings in the period in which such changes occur.

**Income Taxes** In accordance with ASC requirements for Income Taxes, we establish deferred tax liabilities or assets for temporary differences between financial and tax reporting basis and subsequently adjust them to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. We record a valuation allowance reducing deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.

We record liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is recognition, where we evaluate whether an individual tax position has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, no tax benefit is recorded. For tax positions that have met the recognition threshold in the first step, we perform the second step of measuring the benefit to be recorded. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from our estimates. In future periods, changes in facts, circumstances and new information may require us to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in the

------

consolidated statement of income and consolidated balance sheet in the period in which such changes occur. As of December 27, 2025, we had liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits pertaining to uncertain tax positions totaling $21.1 million.

**Revenue Recognition** The Company recognizes revenue for the sale of goods based on its assessment of when control transfers to our customers. See Note 13, "Revenue," for additional information.

**Cost of Products Sold** Cost of products sold includes all costs to make products saleable, such as labor costs, inbound freight, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs and internal transfer costs. In addition, all depreciation expense associated with assets used to manufacture products and make them saleable is included in cost of products sold.

**Customer Program Costs** Customer programs and incentives are a common practice in our businesses. Our businesses incur customer program costs to obtain favorable product placement, to promote sales of products and to maintain competitive pricing. We record estimates to reduce revenue for customer programs and incentives, which are considered variable consideration, and include price discounts, volume-based incentives, promotions and cooperative advertising when revenue is recognized in order to determine the amount of consideration the Company will ultimately be entitled to receive. These estimates are based on historical and projected experience for each type of customer. In addition, for certain customer program incentives, we receive an identifiable benefit (goods or services) in exchange for the consideration given and record the associated expenditure in selling, general and administrative expenses. Volume allowances are accrued based on management's estimates of customer volume achievement and other factors incorporated into customer agreements, such as new products, store sell-through, merchandising support, levels of returns and customer training. Management periodically reviews accruals for these rebates and allowances, and adjusts accruals when circumstances indicate (typically as a result of a change in volume expectations). The costs typically recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses include product displays, point of sale materials and media production costs. The costs included in the selling, general and administrative expenses category were $31.2 million, $31.0 million and $28.1 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

**Selling, General and Administrative Expenses** Selling, general and administrative expenses include advertising costs; marketing costs; selling costs, including commissions; research and development costs; shipping and handling costs, including warehousing costs to store inventory ready for shipment to a customer; and general and administrative expenses. Shipping and handling costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $158.1 million, $160.1 million and $161.3 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively*.*

Advertising costs, which amounted to $232.9 million, $235.8 million and $221.5 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are generally expensed as incurred. Advertising costs paid to customers as pricing rebates include product displays, marketing administration costs, media production costs and point-of-sale materials. Advertising costs recorded as a reduction to net sales, primarily cooperative advertising, were $51.7 million, $50.9 million and $51.4 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Advertising costs recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses were $181.2 million, $184.9 million and $170.1 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Research and development expenses include product development, product improvement, product engineering and process improvement costs. Research and development expenses, which were $85.4 million, $69.9 million and $64.6 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are expensed as incurred within selling, general and administrative expenses.

**Stock-based Compensation** Stock-based compensation expense, measured as the fair value of an award on the date of grant, is recognized in the financial statements over the period that an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. Compensation expense is recorded net of forfeitures, which we have elected to record in the period they occur. The fair value of each option award is measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of each performance share award is based on the average of the high and low share prices on the date of grant and the probability of meeting performance targets. The fair value of each restricted stock unit granted is equal to the average of the high and low share prices on the date of grant. See Note 12, "Stock-Based Compensation," for additional information.

------

**Earnings Per Share** Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share include the impact of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the year. See Note 19, "Earnings Per Share," for further discussion.

**Foreign Currency Translation** Foreign currency balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the actual rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange in effect during the period for the foreign subsidiaries where the local currency is the functional currency. The related translation adjustments are made directly to a separate component of the "accumulated other comprehensive income" ("AOCI") caption in equity. Transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of a subsidiary are translated into functional currency with resulting transaction gains or losses recorded in other expense, net.

**Derivative Financial Instruments** In accordance with ASC requirements for Derivatives and Hedging, we recognize all derivative contracts as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, and the measurement of those instruments is at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge and is effective, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the same period. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income ("OCI") and are recognized in the consolidated statement of income when the hedged item affects earnings. If the derivative is designated as an effective economic hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation, the changes in the fair value of the derivative is reported in the cumulative translation adjustment section of OCI. Similar to foreign currency translation adjustments, these changes in fair value are recognized in earnings only when realized upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity.

Deferred currency gains (losses) of $1.3 million, $(0.4) million and $5.2 million (before tax impact) were reclassified into earnings for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Based on foreign exchange rates as of December 27, 2025, we estimate that $11.3 million of net derivative gains included in AOCI as of December 27, 2025, will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 which requires expanded disclosure of the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We have adopted this ASU prospectively for the period ending December 27, 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 which requires an entity to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. It also requires an entity to include certain amounts that are required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure. Additionally, it requires an entity to disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and to disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments prospectively for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. While this ASU will impact only our disclosures and not our financial statements and results of operations, we are currently evaluating when we will adopt the ASU.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 which amends guidance related to the accounting for internal-use software development costs. The amendments are intended to modernize the recognition and capitalization framework to reflect current software development practices, including iterative and agile methodologies, by removing references to "development stages" and clarifying the threshold to begin capitalizing costs. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments prospectively, retrospectively, or utilizing a modified transition approach. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

**4. Acquisitions**

*SpringWell*

On February 29, 2024, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Springwell for a purchase price of $105.6 million, net of cash acquired of $1.4 million. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility. The results of SpringWell are reported as part of the Water segment. We have not included pro forma financial information as the transaction is immaterial to our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of February 29, 2024, was $105.6 million, which includes $85.2 million of goodwill. Goodwill includes expected sales and cost synergies and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

*Acquired Businesses*

In June 2023, we acquired the Acquired Businesses from ASSA. The Company completed the acquisition for a total purchase price of approximately $813.9 million, net of cash acquired of $21.9 million. During the second quarter of 2024, legal title to international operations in Vietnam transferred to us, which included a payment of approximately $23.5 million, net of cash of $5.6 million (which amount is already included in the overall purchase price). We financed the transaction with cash on hand. The results of the Emtek and Schaub Business are reported as part of the Water segment, and the results of the Yale and August Business are reported as part of the Security segment. We incurred $19.7 million of ASSA acquisition-related transaction costs in the year ended December 30, 2023.

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated financial information as if the Acquired Businesses had been acquired on January 1, 2022. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on historical results of operations and financial position of the Company and the Acquired Businesses. The pro forma results include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•estimated amortization of finite-lived intangible assets, including customer relationships and proprietary technology,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the estimated cost of the inventory adjustment to fair value,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the reclassification of Acquired Businesses transaction costs from 2023 to the first quarter of 2022,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the removal of certain transactions recorded in the historical financial statements of the Acquired Businesses related to assets and activities which were retained by the seller, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•adjustments to conform accounting policies.

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not necessarily represent the results that would have occurred had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022. In addition, the unaudited pro forma information should not be deemed to be indicative of future results.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tradenames | 78.8 | (17.8) | 61.0 | 76.1 | (13.1) | 63.0 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Customer and contractual relationships | 1024.0 | (408.4) | 615.6 | 1015.5 | (346.2) | 669.3 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Patents/proprietary technology | 140.9 | (105.6) | 35.3 | 138.9 | (92.8) | 46.1 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | 1243.7 | (531.8) | 711.9 | 1230.5 | (452.1) | 778.4 |
| Total identifiable intangibles | $1763.5 | $(531.8) | $1231.7 | $1749.3 | $(452.1) | $1297.2 |

---

Amortizable intangible assets, principally customer relationships, are subject to amortization on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, ranging from 4 to 30 years, based on the assessment of a number of factors that may impact useful life, which include customer attrition rates and other relevant factors. We expect to record intangible amortization of approximately $74.0 million in 2026, $71.0 million in 2027, $64.0 million in 2028, $63.0 million in 2029 and $63.0 million in 2030.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, a reduction of revenue growth expectations, which were finalized during our annual planning process, led us to conclude that it was more likely than not that two indefinite-lived tradenames within our Outdoors segment were impaired. As a result of impairment tests performed, we recorded an impairment charge of $33.5 million related to the two indefinite-lived tradenames. As of December 30, 2023, the carrying value of these tradenames was $95.5 million.

No impairments to identifiable intangible assets were recognized in 2025 or 2024.

The fair values of the impaired tradenames were measured using the relief-from-royalty approach, which estimates the present value of royalty income that could be hypothetically earned by licensing the tradename to a third party over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include forecasted revenue growth rates, assumed royalty rates, and market-participant discount rates that reflect the level of risk associated with the tradenames' future revenues and profitability. We selected the assumptions used in the financial forecasts using historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates and management plans. These assumptions represent level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy (refer to Note 9, "Fair Value Measurements").

------

The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the tradenames impaired during the year ended December 30, 2023 were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | 2023 | 2023 | 2023 |
| Unobservable Input | Minimum | Maximum | Weighted Average<sup>(a)</sup> |
| Discount rates | 13.0% | 14.5% | 14.3% |
| Royalty rates<sup>(b)</sup> | 2.5% | 3.5% | 3.4% |
| Long-term revenue growth rates<sup>(c)</sup> | 2.0% | 3.0% | 2.1% |

---

<sup>(a)</sup>*Weighted by the relative fair value of the tradenames that were tested quantitatively.*

<sup>(b)</sup>*Represents estimated percentage of sales a market-participant would pay to license the impaired tradenames.*

<sup>(c)</sup>*Selected long-term revenue growth rate within* 10-year *projection period of the impaired tradenames.*

**6**. Leases

We have operating and finance leases for buildings and certain machinery and equipment. Operating leases are included in Operating lease assets, Other current liabilities and Operating lease liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts recognized for finance leases as of and for the years ended December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were immaterial.

Operating lease expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $61.8 million, $46.1 million and $42.1 million, respectively.

Other information related to leases was as follows:

Debt payments due during the next five years as of December 27, 2025 are zero in 2026, $370 million in 2027, zero in 2028, $700 million in 2029, zero in 2030, and $1,500 million in 2031 and beyond. Interest payments due during the next five years as of December 27, 2025 are $96.3 million in 2026, $192.5 million in 2027 through 2028, $169.8 million in 2029 through 2030 and $550.5 million in 2031 and beyond.

*Credit Facilities*

In August 2022, the Company entered into a third amended and restated $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the "2022 Revolving Credit Agreement"), and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes. The maturity date of the facility is August 2027. Interest rates under the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement are variable based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") at the time of the borrowing and the Company's long-term credit rating and can range from SOFR + 1.02% to SOFR + 1.525%. Under the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 3.0 to 1.0. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, losses from asset impairments, and certain other one-time adjustments. In addition, the Company's ratio of consolidated debt minus certain cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA generally may not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. There were no outstanding borrowings under this facility as of December 27, 2025 or December 28, 2024. As of December 27, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.

In January 2026, the Company entered into a fourth amended and restated $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the "2026 Revolving Credit Agreement"). The 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement extends the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement for a five-year term maturing in January 2031. Borrowings under the 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement will bear interest at variable rates equal to, at the Company's election, the term SOFR rate applicable for an interest period selected by the Company. The applicable term SOFR rate margin will be determined based on the ratings of the Company's senior unsecured long-term debt securities. The daily simple SOFR rate margins range from 0.80% to 1.30%. The required ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense and the ratio of consolidated debt minus certain cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA under the 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement remained unchanged from the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement.

We currently have uncommitted bank lines of credit in China, which provide for unsecured borrowings for working capital of up $30.5 million in aggregate as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, of which

------

there were no outstanding balances as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024. The weighted-average interest rates on these borrowings were zero in 2025 and 2024.

*Commercial Paper*

The Company operates a commercial paper program (the "Commercial Paper Program") pursuant to which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes. The Company's 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, is the liquidity backstop for the repayment of any notes issued under the Commercial Paper Program, and as such, borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program are included in Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, with the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, including borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, not to exceed $1.25 billion. The Company expects to use any issuances under the Commercial Paper Program for general corporate purposes. Outstanding borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were $368.8 million and zero, respectively.

In our debt and credit agreements, there are normal and customary events of default which would permit the lenders to accelerate the debt if not cured within applicable grace periods, such as failure to pay principal or interest when due or a change in control of the Company. There were no events of default as of December 27, 2025.

**8. Financial Instruments**

We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We principally use financial instruments to reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodities used as raw materials in our products. The principal derivative financial instruments we enter into on a routine basis are foreign exchange contracts. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value. The counterparties to derivative contracts are major financial institutions. We are subject to credit risk on these contracts equal to the fair value of these instruments. Management currently believes that the risk of incurring material losses is unlikely and that the losses, if any, would be immaterial to the Company.

Raw materials used by the Company are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, geopolitical and economic variables, and other unpredictable external factors. As a result, from time to time, we enter into commodity swaps to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in our operations. We account for these commodity derivatives as economic hedges or cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of economic hedges are recorded directly into current period earnings. Commodity derivatives outstanding at December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were not material to the Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Income.

We may be exposed to interest rate risk on existing debt or forecasted debt issuance. To mitigate this risk, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts. There were no outstanding interest rate hedges as of December 27, 2025.

We may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to protect against foreign exchange risks associated with certain existing assets and liabilities, forecasted future cash flows, and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Foreign exchange contracts related to forecasted future cash flows correspond to the periods of the forecasted transactions, which generally do not exceed 12 to 15 months subsequent to the latest balance sheet date. Our primary foreign currency hedge contracts pertain to the British pound, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso and the Chinese yuan. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all foreign currency derivative hedges outstanding at December 27, 2025 was $581.9 million, representing a net settlement liability of $0.5 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of December 27, 2025, we estimate that $11.3 million of net derivative gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 27, 2025 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.

We have entered into cross-currency swap contracts to hedge both our Canadian dollar and Chinese Yuan exposures of the Company's net investments in certain foreign subsidiaries. As of December 27, 2025, the notional value of the cross-currency swap contracts was $141.0 million and expire at various dates through November 2026. The cross-currency swaps were designated as net investment hedges, with the amount of gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of these instruments included within accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized upon termination of the respective net investment.

------

For derivative instruments that are designated as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized on the same line of the consolidated statements of income. The changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income when the hedged item affects earnings.

The fair values of derivative financial instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were:

**9**. Fair Value Measurements

ASC requirements for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Level 1 inputs, the highest priority, are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs reflect other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are either observable directly or through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability, such as internally developed valuation models. We do not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that are level 3, except for pension assets discussed in Note 14, "Defined Benefit Plans."

The carrying value and fair value of debt as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| *(In millions)* | December 27, 2025 | December 27, 2025 | December 28, 2024 | December 28, 2024 |
|  | Carrying<br>Value | Fair<br>Value | Carrying<br>Value | Fair<br>Value |
| Notes, net of underwriting commissions, price<br> discounts and debt issuance costs | $2176.1 | $2109.3 | $2673.3 | $2522.5 |
| Commercial Paper | 368.8 | 368.8 |  |  |

---

The estimated fair value of our 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement is determined primarily using broker quotes, which are level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of our Notes is determined by using quoted market prices of our debt securities, which are level 1 inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| *(In millions)* | Fair Value | Fair Value |
|  | *2025* | 2024 |
| Assets: |  |  |
| Derivative asset financial instruments (level 2) | $1.2 | $8.6 |
| Liabilities: |  |  |
| Derivative liability financial instruments (level 2) | $4.5 | $2.7 |

---

The principal derivative financial instruments we enter into on a routine basis are foreign exchange contracts. In addition, from time to time, we enter into commodity swaps. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value.

**10. Common Stock**

The Company has 750 million authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share and 60 million authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The number of shares of common stock and treasury stock and the share activity for 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Common Shares | Common Shares | Treasury Shares | Treasury Shares |
|  | *2025* | 2024 | *2025* | 2024 |

---

At December 27, 2025, no shares of our preferred stock were outstanding. Our Board of Directors has the authority, without action by the Company's stockholders, to designate and issue our preferred stock in one or more series and to designate the rights, preferences, limitations and privileges of each series of preferred stock, which may be greater than the rights of the Company's common stock.

------

In 2025, we repurchased 4.0 million shares of outstanding common stock under the Company's share repurchase program for $247.8 million. As of December 27, 2025, the Company's total remaining share repurchase authorization under the then current program was approximately $827.2 million. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

**11. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)**

The reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were as follows:

------

Total accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income and other changes in business equity from transactions and other events from sources other than stockholders. It includes currency translation gains and losses, unrealized gains and losses from derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, and defined benefit plan adjustments. The after-tax components of and changes in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income were as follows:

**12. Stock-Based Compensation**

As of December 27, 2025, we had awards outstanding under the Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan") and the Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan") (collectively, the "Plans"). In 2022, stockholders approved the 2022 Plan, which provides for the granting of stock options, performance share awards ("PSAs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs") and other equity-based awards to employees, directors and consultants. No new stock-based awards can be made under the 2013 Plan, but there are outstanding unvested RSUs and stock options that continue to be exercisable. In addition, shares of common stock that were granted and subsequently expired, terminated, cancelled or forfeited, or were used to satisfy the required withholding taxes with respect to awards under the 2013 Plan, may be recycled back into the total numbers of shares available for issuance under the 2022 Plan. Upon the exercise or payment of stock-based awards, shares of common stock are issued from authorized common shares. As of December 27, 2025, approximately 3.2 million shares of common stock remained authorized for issuance under the 2022 Plan.

------

Stock-based compensation expense was as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| *(In millions)* | *2025* | 2024 | 2023 |
| Restricted stock units | $16.2 | $21.7 | $22.1 |
| Stock option awards | 5.6 | 6.0 | 5.3 |
| Performance awards | (1.8) | 11.8 | 6.1 |
| Director awards | 1.5 | 1.4 | 1.7 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total pre-tax expense | 21.5 | 40.9 | 35.2 |
| Tax benefit | 2.9 | 5.5 | 7.9 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total after tax expense | $18.6 | $35.4 | $27.3 |

---

Included in compensation costs are cash-settled RSUs of $0.8 million, $2.0 million and $1.3 million that are classified as a liability as of December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. Compensation costs that were capitalized in inventory were not material.

**Restricted Stock Units**

RSUs have been granted to officers and certain employees of the Company and represent the right to receive shares of Company common stock subject to continued employment through each vesting date. RSUs generally vest ratably over a three-year period, with the exception of the RSUs that were converted from PSAs, which vest at the end of the original three year performance cycles. In addition, certain employees can elect to defer receipt of a portion of their RSU awards upon vesting. Compensation cost is recognized over the service period. We calculate the fair value of each RSU granted by using the average of the high and low share prices on the date of grant.

A summary of activity with respect to RSUs outstanding under the Plans for the year ended December 27, 2025 was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Number of<br>Restricted<br>Stock Units | Weighted-Average<br>Grant-Date<br>Fair Value |
| Outstanding at December 28, 2024 | 584888 | $72.44 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Granted | 490347 | $62.53 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vested | (338554) | $71.55 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forfeited | (186911) | $67.74 |
| Outstanding at December 27, 2025 | 549770 | $65.74 |

---

The remaining unrecognized pre-tax compensation cost related to RSUs at December 27, 2025 was approximately $19.4 million, and the weighted-average period of time over which this cost will be recognized is 1.9 years. The fair value of RSUs that vested during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $22.3 million, $34.1 million and $35.8 million, respectively.

**Stock Option Awards**

Stock options were granted to officers and certain employees of the Company and represent the right to purchase shares of Company common stock subject to continued employment through each vesting date. Stock options granted under the Plans generally vest over a three-year period and generally expire ten years from the grant date.

All stock-based compensation to employees is required to be measured at fair value and expensed over the requisite service period. We recognize compensation expense on awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

The fair value of Fortune Brands options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the assumptions shown in the following table:

------

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | *2025* | 2024 | 2023 |
| Current expected dividend yield | 1.5% | 1.2% | 1.5% |
| Expected volatility | 34.8% | 32.4% | 34.8% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.3% | 4.3% | 4.2% |
| Expected term | 5.4 years | 5.3 years | 5.4 years |

In 2025 and 2024, the determination of expected volatility is based on the volatility of Fortune Brands common stock. In 2023, the determination of expected volatility is based on the volatility of Fortune Brands common stock and a blended peer group volatility for companies in similar industries, at a similar stage of life and with similar market capitalization. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the stock options. The expected term is the period over which our employees are expected to hold their options. The expected term was determined based on the historical employee exercise behavior and the contractual term of the options. The dividend yield is based on the Company's estimated dividend over the expected term. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted under the Plans during the years ended December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 was $21.38, $26.13 and $20.39, respectively.

**Performance Share Awards**

PSAs were granted to officers and certain employees of the Company and represent the right to earn shares of Company common stock based on the achievement of company-wide non-GAAP performance conditions, including cumulative EBITDA margin, cumulative EBITDA margin percent and cumulative return on invested capital during the three-year performance period. Compensation cost is amortized into expense over the performance period, which is generally three years, and is based on the probability of meeting performance targets. The fair value of each PSA is based on the average of the high and low stock prices on the date of grant.

------

The following table summarizes information about PSAs as of December 27, 2025, as well as activity during the fiscal year then ended. The number of performance share awards granted are shown below at the target award amounts:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Number of<br>Performance Share<br>Awards | Weighted-Average<br>Grant-Date<br>Fair Value |
| Non-vested at December 28, 2024 | 369223 | $70.49 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Granted | 198877 | $64.34 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vested | (1426) | $76.32 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forfeited | (122239) | $70.27 |
| Non-vested at December 27, 2025 | 444435 | $67.78 |

---

The remaining unrecognized pre-tax compensation cost related to PSAs at December 27, 2025 was approximately $3.7 million, and the weighted-average period of time over which this cost will be recognized is 1.0 years. The fair value of PSAs that vested during 2025 was $0.1 million.

**Director Awards**

Stock awards are used as part of the compensation provided to outside directors under the Plans. Awards are issued annually in the second quarter. In addition, outside directors can elect to have director cash compensation paid in stock and can elect to defer payment of stock. Compensation cost is expensed at the time of an award based on the fair value of a share at the date of the award. In 2025, 2024 and 2023, we awarded 27,994, 19,148 and 27,094 shares of Company common stock to outside directors with a weighted-average fair value on the date of the award of $54.77, $73.10 and $64.13, respectively.

**13. Revenue**

Our principal performance obligations are the sale of faucets, accessories, kitchen sinks, waste disposals, fiberglass and steel entry-door systems, storm, screen and security doors, composite decking and railing, urethane millwork, wide-opening exterior door systems and outdoor enclosures, locks, safes, safety and security devices, connected and mechanical lock out tag out solutions, electronic security products, commercial cabinets, and kitchen and bath cabinets (collectively, "goods" or "products"). We recognize revenue for the sale of goods based on our assessment of when control transfers to our customers, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery of the products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods to our customers. Payment terms on our product sales normally range from 30 to 90 days. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that we collect are excluded from revenue. The expected costs associated with our contractual warranties will continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note 17, "Commitments," for further discussion.

We record estimates to reduce revenue for customer programs and incentives, which are considered variable consideration, and include price discounts, volume-based incentives, promotions and cooperative advertising when revenue is recognized in order to determine the amount of consideration the Company will ultimately be entitled to receive. These estimates are based on historical and projected experience for each type of customer. In addition, for certain customer program incentives, we receive an identifiable benefit (goods or services) in exchange for the consideration given and record the associated expenditure in selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, we make upfront payments to customers related to certain revenue contracts. We recognize these payments in Other current assets and Other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortize them over the contract term as a reduction of the transaction price.

We account for shipping and handling costs that occur after the customer has obtained control of a product as a fulfillment activity (i.e., as an expense) rather than as a promised service (i.e., as a revenue element). These costs are classified within Selling, general and administrative expenses.

------

Settlement of our outstanding accounts receivable balances is normally within 30 to 90 days of the original sale transaction date. Obligations arise for us from customer rights to return our goods for any reason, including among others, product obsolescence, stock rotations, trade-in agreements for newer products and upon termination of a customer contract. We estimate future product returns at the time of sale based on historical experience and record a corresponding refund obligation, which amounted to $30.4 million and $28.8 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively. Refund obligations are classified within Other current liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Return assets related to the refund obligation are measured at the carrying amount of the goods at the time of sale, less any expected costs to recover the goods and any expected reduction in value. Return assets are classified within Other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and were approximately $3.8 million and $4.3 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.

As part of our contracts with customers, we recognize contract liabilities, principally deferred revenue. Deferred revenue liabilities represents advanced payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Changes in the deferred revenue liabilities are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| *(In millions)* |  |
| Balance December 30, 2023 | $40.2 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amount from acquisitions | 0.3 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Foreign currency and other | (0.5) |
| Balance December 27, 2025 | $34.8 |

---

Deferred revenue liabilities of $20.1 million, $24.4 million and $32.3 million as of December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively were included in Other current liabilities. In our Consolidated Balance Sheets, $14.7 million, $11.9 million and $7.9 million as of December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively were included in Other noncurrent liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into (i) major sales distribution channels in the U.S. and (ii) total sales to customers outside the U.S. market as these categories depict the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows that are affected by economic factors. The following table disaggregates our consolidated revenue by major sales distribution channels for the years ended December 27, 2025, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023.

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs the Company incurs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained. These costs are required to be recognized as assets and amortized over the period that the related goods or services transfer to the customer. As a practical expedient, we expense as incurred costs to obtain a contract when the expected amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.

**14. Defined Benefit Plans**

We have a number of pension plans in the United States, covering certain of the Company's employees; however, the majority of these plans have been frozen to new participants, and benefit accruals were frozen for active participants on December 31, 2016. The plans provide for payment of retirement benefits, mainly commencing between the ages of 55 and 65. After meeting certain qualifications, an employee acquires a vested right to future benefits. The benefits payable under the plans are generally determined on the basis of an employee's length of service and/or earnings. Employer contributions to the plans are made, as necessary, to ensure legal funding requirements are satisfied. Also, from time to time, we may make contributions in excess of the legal funding requirements. Service cost for 2025 relates to benefit accruals for a group of hourly employees within the defined benefit plan for our Security segment. All other benefit accruals under our defined benefit pension plans were frozen as of, or prior to, December 31, 2016.

The Company offered a lump sum program during the fourth quarter of 2023 in which certain terminated vested participants in the Moen Qualified Plan and Master Lock Qualified Plan could elect to take a one-time voluntary lump sum payment equal to the present value of future benefits. Approximately 700 participants elected to accept the lump sum option. During the fourth quarter of 2023, benefit payments of $27.0 million were made and a settlement expense of $2.0 million was recognized.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company entered into two agreements with an insurance company to purchase group annuity contracts and transferred $266.6 million of pension plan obligations and related assets of two of its defined benefit pension plans, the MasterLock Pension Plan and Moen Incorporated Pension Plan (collectively, the "Pension Plans"). The partial plan settlements resulted in a loss of $19.0 million, which is included in Other (expense) income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The agreements cover approximately 4,100 retirees and other beneficiaries (the "Transferred Participants"). All Transferred Participants continued to receive their benefits from the Pension Plans until January 1, 2025, at which time the insurance company began paying and administering the retirement benefits of the Transferred Participants. The transactions resulted in no changes to the amount of the benefits payable to the Transferred Participants.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a buy-in annuity agreement with an insurance provider. The agreement features a buy-in of the plan assets with an option to elect a future buy-out conversion. As part of the buy-in, a majority of the assets of the Pension Plans were transferred to the insurance company in exchange for an annuity contract to further reduce the risk of plan asset value volatility. The Company retains the primary benefit obligation until the buy-out conversion is completed. Upon election of the buy-out conversion, we will transfer full responsibility of the obligations of the Pension Plans to the insurance company, at which time we will derecognize the assets and liabilities of the Pension Plans and realize a settlement loss as a component of net periodic pension cost.

Net actuarial gains and losses occur when actual experience differs from any of the assumptions used to value defined benefit plans or when assumptions change as they may each year. The primary factors contributing to actuarial gains and losses are changes in the discount rate used to value obligations as of the measurement date and the differences between expected and actual returns on pension plan assets.

------

In addition, the Company provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees.

Our defined benefit plans Master Trust own a variety of investment assets. Certain investment assets are measured using net asset value per share as a practical expedient per ASC 820. Investments measured using net asset value per share totaled $14.9 million and $150.7 million as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.

------

The terms and conditions for redemptions vary for each class of the investment assets valued at net asset value per share as a practical expedient. Real estate assets may be redeemed quarterly with a 45 day redemption notice period. Investment assets in multi-strategy hedge funds may be redeemed semi-annually with a 95 day redemption notice period. Equity, fixed income and cash and cash equivalents have no specified redemption frequency and notice period and may be redeemed daily. As of December 27, 2025, we do not have an intent to sell or otherwise dispose of these investment assets at prices different than the net asset value per share.

For the Pension Plans, our assets have been exchanged for buy-in annuity contracts to cover all plan liabilities. For our remaining plans, our investment strategy is to optimize investment returns through a diversified portfolio of investments, taking into consideration underlying plan liabilities and asset volatility. The defined benefit asset allocation policy of the plans allows for a return-seeking portfolio allocation of 0% to 50% and liability-hedging portfolio allocation of 50% to 100%. Asset allocations are based on the underlying liability structure. All retirement asset allocations are reviewed periodically to ensure the allocations meets the needs of the liability structure.

Our 2026 expected blended long-term rate of return on plan assets of 4.2% was determined based on the nature of the plans' investments, our current asset allocation and projected long-term rates of return from pension investment consultants.

**Estimated Future Retirement Benefit Payments**

The following retirement benefit payments are expected to be paid:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| *(In millions)* | Pension<br>Benefits | Postretirement<br>Benefits |
| 2026 | $197.5 | $1.2 |
| 2027 | 1.6 | 1.1 |
| 2028 | 1.5 | 1.0 |
| 2029 | 1.6 | 1.0 |
| 2030 | 1.5 | 0.9 |
| Years 2031-2035 | 7.2 | 4.7 |

---

Estimated future retirement benefit payments above are estimates and could change significantly based on differences between actuarial assumptions and actual events and decisions related to lump sum distribution options that are available to participants in certain plans.

**Defined Contribution Plan Contributions**

We sponsor a number of defined contribution plans for the benefit of eligible employees. Contributions are determined under various formulas. Cash contributions by the Company related to these plans amounted to $38.5 million, $35.5 million and $28.7 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 "Income Taxes: Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures" on a prospective basis beginning with the year ended December 27, 2025. The following table is the required disclosure pursuant to ASU 2023-09 and is a reconciliation between the federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| *(In millions)* | *2025* | *2025* |
|  | Amount | Percentage |
| U.S. federal statutory tax rate | $85.1 | 21.0% |
| State and local income taxes, net of federal effect <sup>(1)</sup> | 16.5 | 4.1 |
| Foreign Tax Effects |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;China withholding tax | 11.4 | 2.8 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other foreign jurisdictions | 3.9 | 1.0 |
| Effects of cross-border tax laws | (6.1) | (1.5) |
| Tax credits | (2.7) | (0.7) |
| Valuation allowance increase | 1.3 | 0.3 |
| Nontaxable or nondeductible items | 4.3 | 1.1 |
| Changes in unrecognized tax benefits | (6.1) | (1.5) |
| Other | (1.4) | (0.4) |
| Income tax expense as reported | $106.2 | 26.2% |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> State taxes in California, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the Company's State and local income taxes.

------

The following table is the required reconciliation between the federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-09.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| *(In millions)* | 2024 | 2023 |
| Income tax expense computed at federal statutory income tax rate | $127.2 | $108.8 |
| State and local income taxes, net of federal tax benefit | 18.9 | 13.2 |
| Foreign taxes at a different rate than U.S. federal statutory income tax rate | 4.6 | 5.2 |
| Net adjustments for uncertain tax positions | (4.7) | (8.0) |
| Share-based compensation | (2.0) | (1.3) |
| Valuation allowance (decrease) increase | (7.8) | 1.7 |
| Non-deductible executive compensation | 3.9 | 3.5 |
| Research and development credit | (4.4) | (5.1) |
| Miscellaneous other, net | (2.1) | (5.6) |
| Income tax expense as reported | $133.6 | $112.4 |
| Effective income tax rate | 22.1% | 21.7% |

---

The 2025 effective income tax rate was unfavorably impacted by state and local income taxes and dividend withholding tax, partially offset by decreases in uncertain tax positions.

The 2024 effective income tax rate was unfavorably impacted by state and local income taxes, foreign income taxed at higher rates, as well as non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by favorable benefits related to a valuation allowance release and decreases in uncertain tax positions and tax credits.

The 2023 effective income tax rate was unfavorably impacted by state and local income taxes and foreign income taxed at higher rates. This expense was offset by favorable benefits for the release of uncertain tax positions due to statute of limitations lapses and federal tax credits.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits ("UTBs") is as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| *(In millions)* | *2025* | 2024 | 2023 |
| Unrecognized tax benefits—beginning of year | $25.2 | $25.6 | $33.4 |
| Gross additions—current year tax positions | 1.9 | 1.9 | 2.1 |
| Gross additions—prior year tax positions | 0.3 | 5.7 | 0.2 |
| Gross reductions—prior year tax positions | (6.3) | (8.0) | (10.1) |
| Gross reductions—settlements with taxing authorities |  |  |  |
| Unrecognized tax benefits—end of year | $21.1 | $25.2 | $25.6 |

---

The amount of UTBs that, if recognized as of December 27, 2025, would affect the Company's effective tax rate is $21.1 million.

The Company classifies interest and penalty accruals related to UTBs as income tax expense. In 2025, the Company recognized an interest and penalty benefit of $1.9 million. In 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized an interest and penalty benefit of approximately $1.6 million and a $1.2 million expense, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., various state, and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is currently under audit by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for 2022 and 2023 and is generally subject to examination by the IRS for years 2022 and later. In addition to the U.S., the Company has tax years that remain open and subject to examination by tax authorities in the following major taxing jurisdictions: Canada for years after 2020, Mexico for years after 2019, and China for years after 2019.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other investments | (20.0) | (24.8) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Miscellaneous | (6.2) | (7.9) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total deferred tax liabilities | (354.5) | (313.9) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net deferred tax liability | $(127.0) | $(98.0) |

---

In accordance with ASC requirements for Income Taxes, deferred taxes were classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| *(In millions)* | *2025* | 2024 |
| Other assets | $19.9 | $19.4 |
| Deferred income taxes | (146.9) | (117.4) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net deferred tax liability | $(127.0) | $(98.0) |

---

As of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the Company had deferred tax assets related to net operating losses and other tax carryforwards of $33.6 million and $29.1 million, respectively. Approximately $4.6 million expires between 2026 and 2030, and the remainder will expire in 2031 and thereafter.

The Company has provided a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of certain deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance is $9.6 million in 2025 and $8.0 million in 2024. Management has concluded that, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be fully realized.

Accumulated foreign earnings and profits of the Company's foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 were subject to the deemed repatriation tax and therefore should not be subject to additional U.S. federal income tax upon an actual repatriation of these earnings. As of December 27, 2025, the Company has recorded an estimated deferred tax liability of $1.0 million, primarily related to taxes that will be payable upon distribution of these earnings. The liability also reflects the reversal of a prior indefinite reinvestment assertion with respect to one of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.

Subsequent to December 31, 2017, we consider the unremitted earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that impose local country taxes on dividends to be indefinitely reinvested. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities associated with local country withholding taxes on the unremitted earnings of these indefinitely reinvested foreign subsidiaries is $6.4 million.

**16. Restructuring and Other Charges**

On January 18, 2025, we announced the decision to consolidate U.S. regional offices into one campus headquarters in Deerfield, Illinois. In connection with these consolidation activities and related organizational and personnel changes, the Company currently expects to incur certain cash and non-cash restructuring and other charges related to employee relocation, severance, retention, non-cash asset related costs, lease exit costs, and other transition activities estimated in the range of approximately $90 million to $105 million in the aggregate. For the fifty-two weeks ended December 27, 2025, we incurred total charges of $89.6 million, including cash charges of $71.6 million primarily related to severance and other exit costs, and non-cash charges of $18.0 million primarily related to acceleration of property, plant and equipment depreciation. The estimated ranges of restructuring and other charges are provisional and include management judgments and assumptions that could change as we execute our plans. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the execution of our plan could result in additional charges.

Restructuring and other charges for the year ended December 27, 2025 were as follows:

---

<sup>(b)</sup>*Selling, general and administrative expenses.*

Restructuring and other charges in 2025 are primarily due to $89.6 million of costs incurred in connection with the Company's headquarters consolidation and its related organizational changes, a product line rationalization in our Outdoors segment and plant closures in all of our segments.

**18. Information on Business Segments**

The Company's operations are structured into three segments, Water, Outdoors and Security. The chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), our Chief Executive Officer, uses operating income to evaluate the performance of our segments and to make resource allocation decisions. Segment operating income excludes unallocated corporate costs. Operating income is the primary measure of segment profitability used in internal management reporting to the CODM. This measure is used to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods, and to evaluate historical and forecasted financial performance as well as performance relative to our competitors. The monthly and quarterly results provided to the CODM include the net sales and operating income or loss of the consolidated Company and each segment. These financial results are reviewed against budget and the prior year in evaluating the performance of the segment. The CODM is also regularly provided qualitative and quantitative metrics to establish an understanding of drivers to the overall performance. The metrics provided include information at a functional level for the Company's operations and supply chain in addition to each segment. These metrics also include service and quality ratings, brand awareness, market performance and outlook, working capital efficiency, operational plant efficiency, commodity pricing, capital spending and an overview of transformation initiatives.

The significant expense categories and amounts shown below align with the segment level information that is regularly provided to the CODM. Intersegment expenses are included within the amounts below. Other operating expenses principally consist of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, which are not provided to the CODM in managing performance of the operating segments.

The Water segment manufactures or assembles and sells faucets, accessories, luxury hardware, kitchen sinks and waste disposals, predominantly under the Moen, ROHL, Riobel, Victoria+Albert, Perrin & Rowe, Aqualisa, Shaws, Emtek, Schaub and SpringWell brands. The Outdoors segment includes fiberglass and steel entry door systems under the Therma-Tru brand name, storm, screen and security doors under the Larson brand name, composite decking and railing under the Fiberon brand name, urethane millwork under the Fypon brand name and wide-opening exterior door systems and outdoor enclosures under the Solar Innovations brand. The Security segment includes locks, safety and security devices, connected and mechanical lock out tag out solutions and electronic security products under the Master Lock, American Lock, Yale and August brands, and fire-resistant safes, security containers and commercial cabinets under the SentrySafe brand. Corporate expenses consist primarily of headquarters administrative expenses. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash.

**21. Contingencies**

**Litigation**

We are a defendant in lawsuits that are ordinary, routine litigation matters incidental to our businesses. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any litigation, it is possible that these actions could be decided unfavorably. We believe that there are meritorious defenses to these actions and that these actions will not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, and, where appropriate, these actions are being vigorously contested. Accordingly, we believe the likelihood of material loss is remote.

------

**Environmental**

We are involved in remediation activities to clean up impacted sites as required by federal and state laws, certain of which may contain hazardous wastes. Liabilities for remediation costs of each site are based on our best estimate of undiscounted future costs, excluding possible insurance recoveries or recoveries from other third parties. Uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, technology and information related to individual sites make it difficult to develop estimates of future environmental remediation exposures. Some of the potential liabilities relate to sites we own, and some relate to sites we no longer own or never owned. Several of our subsidiaries have been designated as potentially responsible parties ("PRP") under Superfund or similar state laws. In most instances where our subsidiaries are named as a PRP, we enter into cost-sharing arrangements with other PRPs. We give notice to insurance carriers of potential PRP liability, but very rarely, if ever, receive reimbursement from insurance for PRP costs. We believe compliance with current environmental protection laws (before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties) will not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

**Other**

On September 12, 2025, the Company experienced a fire within a portion of one of its manufacturing facilities within the Outdoors segment. The fire primarily caused damage to owned property and equipment. Net sales were not impacted as a result of the fire, due to existing inventory levels and increased output at other manufacturing facilities. In 2025, expenses of $21.1 million, related to clean-up costs, damage to assets and fixed operating costs, less probable insurance recoveries, were recorded within the Cost of products sold caption in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

# Item 9A. Control s and Procedures.
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

# The Company's management has evaluated, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 27, 2025 .
(b)Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over "financial reporting", as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework* (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on our evaluation under the framework in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework* (2013) issued by the COSO, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 27, 2025.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 27, 2025, as stated in their report, which appears herein.

(c)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the Company's fiscal quarter ended December 27, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

# Item 9B. Oth er Information.
***<u>Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Officers</u>***

A significant portion of the compensation of our officers is delivered in the form of equity awards, including performance share awards, restricted stock units and stock options. The Company's compensation programs and practices are designed to pay for performance and to align management's interests with those of the Company's stockholders while attracting, motivating and retaining superior talent to lead our Company. In addition, members of the Board of Directors receive a portion of their compensation in Company common stock. Our executive officers and directors may engage from time to time in the open-market sale or other transactions involving those securities and may also purchase our securities.

Transactions in our securities by our directors and officers are required to be made in accordance with our Insider Trading Policy, which, among other things, requires that the transactions be in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws that prohibit trading while in possession of material nonpublic information. Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense that enables prearranged transactions in securities in a manner that avoids concerns about initiating transactions at a future date while possibly in possession of material nonpublic information. Our directors and officers are permitted to enter into trading plans designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, none of our directors or officers adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan or adopted or terminated a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).

# Item 9C. Disclos ure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections.

Amit Banati

Dear Amit:

It is with a great deal of pleasure that I confirm the terms of our offer of employment to you for the position of Chief Executive Officer. You will be a Board appointed Officer of the Company, and a Director of the Board. The terms of your offer are described below.

**CASH COMPENSATION**

**Base Salary**

Your base salary will be $1,100,000 per year, paid bi-weekly and subject to normal federal, state, and local payroll tax withholdings. Your next salary review will occur in early 2027.

**Annual Bonus**

You are eligible to participate in the Executive Annual Incentive Plan immediately upon hire. Your target annual bonus will be 150% of your base salary. Actual bonus payments are based on the performance achieved by the company against goals set each year. Your 2026 bonus will **not** be prorated. Bonuses are paid in the first quarter for prior year performance.

**LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION** 

You are also eligible under the FBIN Long-Term Incentive Program with an annual target value of $6,700,000. This long-term compensation is comprised of Stock Options (25%), Restricted Stock Units (25%) and Performance Share Awards (50%). Your first annual grant will be issued at hire. Annual grants vest in one-third increments over a three-year period, with the exception of the Performance Share Awards which vest at the end of the three-year performance period. In all cases, final approval rests solely with the Compensation Committee of the FBIN Board of Directors and you will be notified as soon as approvals are released.

Upon your termination of employment or in connection with a "Change in Control" (as defined in the Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan or any successor plan (the "Plan"), you will be afforded no less favorable treatment with respect to your annual long-term equity incentive awards than would be provided to other FBIN named executive officers in the event of such a termination of employment or Change in Control.

We are including with this offer two additional compensation components. The first is a one-time cash award of $8,000,000 (less applicable taxes). If you should voluntarily leave the Company without Good Reason, you would have to repay the cash award (calculated on an after-tax basis) based on the following schedule:

Privileged and Confidential

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Within the first 12 months = 100%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Between 12 and 24 months = 66%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Between 24 and 36 months = 33%

In the event of a termination for Good Reason, a termination of employment by the Company without Cause (as defined in your "Agreement for the Payment of Benefits Following Termination of Employment," which definition will be agreed upon by the parties), or your termination of employment as a result of your death or disability or a Change in Control, you will not be required to reimburse the Company for any portion of the cash sign-on bonus.

The second additional compensation component is a one-time long term incentive award in the amount of $6,000,000 in RSUs which vests equally over three years and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and associated award agreement. This award will be issued within ten (10) days following your start date, and the vesting commencement date for the award will be your start date. In the event of a termination for Good Reason, a termination of employment by the Company without Cause (as defined in your "Agreement for the Payment of Benefits Following Termination of Employment," which definition will be agreed upon by the parties), or your termination of employment as a result of your death or disability or a Change in Control in which your award is not assumed, the vesting of any outstanding shares from this award will be accelerated and settled on the applicable acceleration event.

As an executive of FBIN, the CEO is required to adhere to our Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines and hold 6 times his/her base salary in shares of common stock in the Company within five years in an eligible role.

**Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP)** 

You will be eligible to participate in the Fortune Brands Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP) on terms no less favorable than those applicable to other named executive officers of the Company. The DCP provides tax advantaged means to accumulate assets for the future – beyond what you may contribute to the 401(k) Plan. Compensation eligible for deferral includes base salary, annual bonus, and annual restricted stock units (if applicable). Enrollment into the plan is conducted annually, usually in November, for the next calendar year.

**ADDITIONAL TOTAL REWARDS OFFERINGS**

**Relocation**

We will provide you with relocation benefits, per the relocation policy, to support your move to the Chicago area. It is expected that your relocation occur as soon as possible post your start date, and the relocation benefits be leveraged within 12 months of your start date. Additional information about the relocation process and benefits will be discussed with you prior to beginning your move. Should you voluntarily leave FBIN (other than for Good Reason) within two years of your relocation initiation date, you must repay the company on an after-tax basis according to the program guidelines, unless such voluntary departure occurs following a Change in Control.

Once you have completed your relocation, the Company will provide you with a car and driver to take you to and from your home to the office.

Privileged and Confidential

**Personal Use of Company Aircraft**

In the role of CEO, you are eligible under the Aviation Policy to utilize the Company aircraft for personal use to a maximum of 50 hours per year. Under the policy, the CEO is required to reimburse the company for the personal use of the aircraft. The value of the personal flight is considered to be taxable compensation and is subject to federal, state and local income tax withholding, social security and Medicare withholding and federal unemployment tax. The taxable compensation value is equal to the excess of the amount computed with a prescribed IRS formula over any amount reimbursed by the executive with respect to personal use. Additional information, including the policy and procedures, will be provided at the time of hire.

**Total Rewards**

Upon hire, you will be eligible to participate in our Total Rewards Package. This includes competitive healthcare benefits (medical, dental, vision), health savings and flexible spending accounts, life and disability coverage and retirement savings plan. We also offer health advocacy solutions, telemedicine, associate discount programs, matching gifts programs and wellness programs among other benefits to all associates. Refer to the additional materials included with this letter for details about our benefit offerings. You will be eligible to participate in health and welfare benefit plans made available to similarly-situated named executive officers of the Company, subject to the terms of those plans.

You will also be eligible for a company paid annual executive physical and a membership in HealthNet, a healthcare concierge service. Generally speaking, you will be eligible to receive the same perquisites made available to similarly-situated named executive officers of the Company from time to time.

You will be eligible to participate in our profit-sharing plan, which provides a Company contribution to eligible employee's 401k account (typically in March) and vests fully after 3 years of service. You will be eligible for our 401(k) Plan, which matches 100% on the first 4% of employee contributions. Employee contributions are vested immediately, and the company match contributions vest fully after 1 year of service.

Additionally, you will be eligible to receive a severance agreement (i.e. the "Agreement for the Payment of Benefits Following Termination of Employment"), which you must agree to and sign, that provides for 24 months of salary and annual bonus if you are terminated other than for Cause, or if you resign for Good Reason. In the event such termination occurs following a "Change in Control", the severance amount increases by an additional twelve months of salary and bonus (for a total of 36 months). The terms of your severance agreement will be substantially consistent with the form which has been included for your reference.

Additionally, your Stock options, RSUs and PSAs which are not assumed by the purchaser or successor entity in connection with a Change in Control will vest in the event of a termination of employment by the Company without Cause or a resignation by you for Good Reason, in each case within a set period following a Change in Control, in accordance with the terms of your equity award agreements. The terms of your severance agreement will be substantially consistent with, and with no less favorable severance benefits and economics provided under the form provided
