Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On April 11, 2024, JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) announced to employees its plans to close manufacturing facilities in Vista, California (the “Vista Closure”) and Hawkins, Wisconsin (the “Hawkins Closure,” together with the Vista Closure, the “Site Closures”) in a continuing effort to simplify the Company’s footprint and drive operational efficiencies.

In connection with the Site Closures, the Company expects to incur approximately $45 million in pre-tax restructuring expenses and other closure costs, including building restoration, equipment relocation and employee-related costs, as well as asset-related charges. After completion of the Site Closures, the Company expects to realize annual pre-tax income improvements of at least $11 million.

In connection with the Vista Closure, the Company expects to incur approximately $21 million of pre-tax restructuring expenses and other closure costs, including building restoration, equipment relocation and employee-related costs, as well as asset-related charges, substantially all of which are expected to be incurred in 2024. Approximately $14 million of the expected expense and investment related to the Vista Closure will be cash items. The Vista Closure is expected to be substantially completed no later than the end of 2024, after which the Company expects to realize an annual pre-tax income improvement of at least $4 million.

In connection with the Hawkins Closure and the consolidation of production from the Hawkins facility to the Company’s Rantoul, Illinois facility, the Company expects to incur approximately $24 million of pre-tax restructuring expenses and other closure costs, including building restoration, equipment relocation and employee-related costs, as well as asset-related charges, most of which are expected to be incurred in 2024. Approximately $15 million of the expected expense and investment related to the Hawkins Closure and consolidation will be cash items. The Hawkins Closure is expected to be substantially completed no later than the first quarter of 2025, after which the Company expects to realize an annual pre-tax income improvement of at least $7 million.

The estimates of the charges and expenditures that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Site Closures, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates.

In addition, the Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur in connection with the implementation of the Site Closures.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On April 11, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the Site Closures. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information in this Item 7.01 (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
