MasterBrand, Inc.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Background MasterBrand, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of residential cabinets in North America with a portfolio of leading residential cabinetry products for the kitchen, bathroom and other parts of the home. References to “MasterBrand,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to MasterBrand, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

Basis of Presentation Our consolidated financial statements are based on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in December in each calendar year. Our fiscal 2024 will consist of 52 weeks ending on December 29, 2024, while our fiscal 2023 consisted of 53 weeks ended on December 31, 2023.

The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, as well as the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and equity for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023, are unaudited. The presentation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements have been included. Interim results may not be indicative of results for a full year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not contain certain information included in our audited consolidated financial statements and notes. The 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (“GAAP”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Tornado at Jackson, GA Production Facility On January 12, 2023, a tornado hit the Company’s leased Jackson, Georgia production facility, causing damage to the Company’s assets and disrupting certain operations. Insurance, less applicable deductibles, covered the repair or replacement of the Company’s assets that suffered loss or damage, provided business interruption coverage, including lost profits, and reimbursement for other expenses and costs that were incurred relating to the damages and losses suffered. For the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023, the Company incurred expenses of $9.4 million solely related to damages caused by the tornado, and no additional expenses were incurred throughout the remainder of fiscal 2023. These expenses included compensation costs that we continued to pay skilled labor at the Jackson facility to enable a timely ramp up of production upon re-opening the facility on March 27, 2023, the first day of our fiscal second quarter of 2023, as well as the write-off of damaged inventory, freight costs to move product to other warehouses and professional fees to secure and maintain the site. During fiscal 2023, we received $7.4 million of insurance proceeds for direct costs caused by the tornado, consisting of $2.2 million, $2.0 million and $3.2 million received during our second, third and fourth quarters, respectively. Both the expenses and insurance recoveries were recorded as a component of cost of products sold in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Upon receipt of the final insurance proceeds in our fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we considered this claim to be closed.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Issued and Adopted

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have adopted and which have had a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Accounting Standards Issued, But Not Yet Adopted

Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss to assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity's segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures, providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and requiring other new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the condensed consolidated financial statements and will adopt this guidance when it becomes effective in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2024.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendments also remove certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the condensed consolidated financial statements and will adopt this guidance when it becomes effective in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2025.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Our principal performance obligations are the sale of high quality stock, semi-custom and premium cabinetry, as well as vanities, for the kitchen, bath and other parts of the home (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 are recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note 13, "Contingencies and Accrued Losses," 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. 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.

7

Settlement of our outstanding accounts receivable balances normally occurs within 30 to 90 days of the original sale transaction date. Obligations arise for us from customer rights to return our goods, 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 $2.0 million and $2.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Refund obligations are classified within other current liabilities in our condensed 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.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into (i) major sales distribution channels and (ii) total sales to customers by shipping location, 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 and by shipping location for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023.

	13 Weeks Ended				26 Weeks Ended
(U.S. Dollars presented in millions)	June 30, 2024		June 25, 2023		June 30, 2024		June 25, 2023
Net Sales by Channel(a)
Dealers(b)	$	352.7	$	378.7	$	667.7	$	725.5
Retailers(c)	231.7		238.0		474.6		496.5
Builders (d)	92.1		78.4		172.3		149.8
Net sales	$	676.5	$	695.1	$	1,314.6	$	1,371.8
Net Sales by Shipping Location
United States	$	643.9	$	656.4	$	1,252.1	$	1,299.8
Canada	28.7		34.4		53.9		64.6
Mexico	3.9		4.3		8.6		7.4
Net sales	$	676.5	$	695.1	$	1,314.6	$	1,371.8

(a)     Net sales by channel presented for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023 have been reclassified to conform with the new format of this table, which is intended to provide a consolidated view of our net sales by channel and shipping location. Prior to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, net sales by channel were presented for our domestic sales only.

(b)     Represents sales to dealers whose end customers include builders, professional trades and home remodelers, inclusive of sales through our dealers’ respective internet website portals.

(c)     Represents sales to “Do-It-Yourself” retailers, including our two largest customers: 1) Lowe’s and 2) The Home Depot, inclusive of sales through their respective internet website portals.

(d)     Represents sales directly to builders.

Practical Expedients

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 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Our primary allowance for credit losses is the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reduces the trade accounts receivable balance to the estimated net realizable value that is expected to be collected. The allowance is based on assessments of current creditworthiness of customers, historical collection experience, the aging of receivables and other currently available evidence. Trade accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if a final determination of uncollectibility is made. All provisions for allowances for doubtful collection of accounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

(U.S. Dollars presented in millions, except per share amounts)	June 30, 2024		June 25, 2023		June 30, 2024		June 25, 2023
Numerator:
Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share - Net income	$	45.3	$	51.2	$	82.8	$	86.2
Denominator:

Effect of dilutive securities - stock-based awards	3.7		1.5		3.8		1.4
Denominator for diluted earnings per share - weighted average shares outstanding	130.7		129.9		130.8		129.7

Basic	$	0.36	$	0.40	$	0.65	$	0.67
Diluted	$	0.35	$	0.39	$	0.63	$	0.66

Approximately 0.9 million and 1.0 million shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and approximately 1.0 million and 2.3 million shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

6. Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

We had goodwill of $924.0 million and $925.1 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The change in the net carrying amount of goodwill was as follows:

(U.S. Dollars presented in millions)	Total Goodwill

There were no impairments of goodwill or indefinite-lived assets for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. There were no triggering events requiring an impairment assessment be conducted in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024. However, it is possible that future changes in circumstances would require the Company to record additional non-cash impairment charges.

7. 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. 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.

We account for derivative instruments as follows:

•Derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges - The changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are reported in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income when the hedged item affects earnings. In all periods presented, the recognized gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item, are recognized in cost of products sold on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

11

•Derivative instruments that are designated as fair value hedges - The gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item, are recognized in other (income) expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

•Derivative instruments that are designated as net investment hedges - The changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income when realized upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity.

As of and for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, we have only entered into foreign currency forward contracts, some of which have been designated as fair value hedges and some of which have been designated as cash flow hedges. 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 Mexican peso and the Canadian dollar. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all foreign currency derivative hedges outstanding at June 30, 2024, was $85.0 million, representing a net settlement liability of $3.0 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2024, we estimate that the $3.0 million of net derivative losses associated with cash flow hedges and included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of June 30, 2024, will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.

The fair values of foreign exchange derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were:

(U.S. Dollars presented in millions)	Location	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023

The effects of cash flow hedging financial instruments included within the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023 are presented in the table below. When the hedged item affects earnings, amounts are reclassed out of accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized as a component of cost of products sold.

8. 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 certain assumptions in estimating the fair value of indefinite-lived tradenames, as discussed in Note 8, "Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

	Fair Value
(U.S. Dollars presented in millions)	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023

2022 Credit Agreement

On November 18, 2022, the Company entered into a 5-year, $1.25 billion credit agreement, consisting of a $750.0 million term loan and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2022 Credit Agreement”). The 2022 Credit Agreement was secured by certain assets as well as the guarantee of certain of our subsidiaries. The $750.0 million term loan had quarterly required amortization payments that began in March 2023.

The revolving credit facility was paid in full during the third quarter of fiscal 2023, and no additional amounts have been drawn against the revolving credit facility since. During the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023, the Company made total payments of $28.1 million on the term loan, consisting of a $4.7 million required payment due September 2023, and $23.4 million of required amortization payments due during each of the next three quarters. As such, we were not required to make, nor did we make, any required amortization payments associated with the term loan during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 or in the first half of fiscal 2024. In June 2024, the Company refinanced the 2022 Credit Agreement, including extinguishing and repaying all amounts outstanding under the existing term loan facility, inclusive of accrued and unpaid interest. As a result, there were no amounts outstanding under the term loan as of June 30, 2024.

Interest rates under the 2022 Credit Agreement were variable based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s net leverage ratio, as measured by net leverage to our consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Consolidated EBITDA”). Interest rates could range from SOFR plus 1.85 percent to SOFR plus 2.60 percent. Net leverage was defined as consolidated total indebtedness minus certain cash and cash equivalents. Consolidated EBITDA was 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. The net leverage ratio was not permitted to exceed 3.875 to 1.00 at the initial borrowing through the second fiscal quarter of 2023, adjusting downward in various future quarters before settling at 3.25 to 1.00 in January 2025. The Company was also required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as Consolidated EBITDA compared to consolidated interest expense, of 3.0 to 1.0. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants under the 2022 Credit Agreement through the date of the June 2024 refinancing transaction and as of December 31, 2023.

2024 Refinancing Transaction

On May 21, 2024, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) to acquire Dura Investment Holdings LLC, parent company of Supreme Cabinetry Brands, Inc. (“Supreme”), a cabinetry company, from GHK Capital Partners LP for $520.0 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement. On July 10, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Supreme. For more information, refer to Note 16, "Subsequent Events."

14

On June 27, 2024, the Company completed a private offering (the “Offering”) of $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00 percent Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Senior Notes”) and entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “2024 Credit Agreement”), which amends and restates the 2022 Credit Agreement. The Company used the funds from the refinancing transaction, and cash on-hand, to: 1) refinance the 2022 Credit Agreement (including repaying all amounts outstanding under the existing term loan, inclusive of accrued and unpaid interest), 2) fund the previously announced acquisition of Supreme on July 10, 2024, and 3) to pay all fees and expenses related to the foregoing transactions.

The Senior Notes were issued under the Indenture dated as of June 27, 2024 (the “Indenture”) at par. The Senior Notes are the Company’s unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations and are guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, by each of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries that are borrowers under or guarantors of the 2024 Credit Agreement. The Senior Notes will mature on July 15, 2032. Interest on the Senior Notes will accrue at a rate of 7.00 percent per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, beginning on January 15, 2025.

The Senior Notes had an outstanding balance of $700.0 million as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, prepaid debt issuance costs related to the Notes were $11.1 million and will be amortized over the term of the debt. These costs are included in long-term debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to July 15, 2027 at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed plus a premium and accrued and unpaid interest. At any time and from time to time on or after July 15, 2027, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at the applicable redemption price set forth in the Indenture plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to July 15, 2027, the Company may, at its option, redeem up to 40 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the proceeds from certain equity offerings at the applicable redemption price set forth in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains certain covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations and restrictions on the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to (i) incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness, (ii) make restricted payments, (iii) create, incur or assume liens or use assets as security in other transactions, (iv) merge, consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of their assets, (v) sell or transfer certain assets, (vi) enter into or conduct transactions with affiliates of the Company and (vii) agree to certain restrictions or encumbrances on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends, make loans or advances or to otherwise transfer property or assets to the Company or other restricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of important conditions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations. The Indenture also includes customary events of default. Certain of the foregoing covenants will be suspended in the event that (i) the Senior Notes receive investment grade ratings from any two of Fitch Ratings Inc., Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or S&P Global Ratings and (ii) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants under the Indenture as of June 30, 2024.

The 2024 Credit Agreement provides for a 5-year, $750.0 million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is not subject to amortization and will mature in June 2029. The 2024 Credit Agreement is secured by certain assets as well as the guarantee of certain of our subsidiaries. Interest rates under the revolving credit facility are variable based on the SOFR, or, at the Company’s option, at a base reference rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent, (ii) the rate of interest last quoted by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) as its “prime rate” and (iii) the one-month SOFR rate plus 1.00 percent (the “Base Rate”), plus, as applicable, a margin ranging from 1.625 percent to 2.25 percent per annum for SOFR-based loans and ranging from 0.625 percent to 1.25 percent per annum for Base Rate-based loans, in each case, depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio. The Company will also pay customary agency fees and a commitment fee based on the daily unused portion of the revolving credit facility ranging from 0.20 percent to 0.30 percent per annum, depending on its net leverage ratio.

The 2024 Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, and restrictive covenants. The restrictive covenants limit the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) create liens on the Company’s or such subsidiaries’ assets, (iii) engage in fundamental changes, (iv) make investments, (v) sell or otherwise dispose of assets, (vi) engage in sale-leaseback transactions, (vii) make restricted payments, (viii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates and (ix) enter into agreements restricting the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to make distributions to the Company or incur liens on their assets.

15

The 2024 Credit Agreement also contains a financial covenant that does not permit the Company to allow its net leverage ratio to exceed (i) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending on or prior to December 31, 2024, 3.50 to 1:00 and (ii) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending on or following March 31, 2025, 3.25 to 1:00 or, if the Company consummates any material acquisition, then the Company’s net leverage ratio shall not exceed 3.75 to 1.00 for the applicable fiscal quarter in which such acquisition is consummated and the three consecutive fiscal quarters thereafter. The Company is also required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. The 2024 Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the termination of commitments under the revolving credit facility, the acceleration of all outstanding amounts thereunder and the requirement to cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants under the 2024 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2024.

The revolving credit facility did not have an outstanding balance as of June 30, 2024 and had $727.3 million of availability, which consists of our $750.0 million revolving credit facility less outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2024, prepaid debt issuance costs related to the 2024 Credit Agreement were $4.6 million and will be amortized over the term of the debt. At June 30, 2024, these costs are included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Interest paid on debt was $13.9 million and $28.0 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $17.8 million and $34.7 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023, respectively.

10. Restructuring Charges

For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, we recognized restructuring charges of $2.8 million and $3.2 million, respectively. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023, we recognized restructuring charges of $3.1 million and $2.7 million. Restructuring charges for all periods presented are largely related to severance costs and other employee-related costs in order to better align our workforce with our forecasted demand within our manufacturing footprint.

11. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, were 24.6 percent and 26.5 percent, respectively. The net decrease in the effective tax rate between the periods is primarily due to the reduction in deferred tax liability for foreign earnings, discrete adjustments, including the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested and changes due to final tax return filings, state and local income taxes and the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates, partially offset by changes in foreign income inclusions with offsetting foreign tax credits.

The difference between our effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent is due to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, nondeductible compensation and foreign income inclusions with offsetting tax credits, partially offset by the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested and the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.

The difference between our effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent is due to the unfavorable changes in state and local income taxes, nondeductible compensation, foreign income inclusions with offsetting foreign tax credits and recognition of a deferred tax liability for foreign earnings, partially offset by the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.

The effective income tax rates for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, were 24.1 percent and 26.7 percent, respectively.

12. Pension and Other Postretirement Plans

We have a defined benefit pension plan in the United States covering many of the Company’s associates. In addition, the Company provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees. The defined benefit pension plan has been frozen to new participants and benefit accruals were frozen for active participants on or before December 31, 2016. During 2023, our Board of Directors approved a plan to terminate the defined benefit pension plan. The termination and settlement process, which preserves retirement benefits due to participants but changes the ultimate payor of such benefits, is expected to take up to 24 months to complete, subject to receipt of customary regulatory approvals. During 2024, the Company is offering a lump-sum benefit payout option to certain plan participants. During 2025, we expect to complete the purchase of group annuity contracts that will transfer any remaining pension benefit obligation to an insurance company.

The components of net periodic cost (benefit) for pension and other postretirement plans for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, respectively, are as set forth in the tables below. Service cost is classified as either a component of cost of products sold or within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income, based on the nature of the job responsibilities of the associates participating in the plans. All other components of net periodic cost (benefit) are classified as other (income) expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

13. Contingencies and Accrued Losses

Product Warranties

We generally record warranty expense related to contractual warranty terms at the time of sale. We may also provide customer concessions for claims made outside of the contractual warranty terms and those expenses are recorded in the period in which the concession is made. We offer our customers various warranty terms based on the type of product that is sold. Warranty expense is determined based on historic claim experience and the nature of the product category. The following table summarizes activity related to our product warranty liability for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023.

Litigation

The Company is a defendant in lawsuits that are ordinary routine litigation matters incidental to our business and operations. In addition, other matters, including tax assessments, audits, claims and governmental investigations and proceedings covering a wide range of matters are pending against us. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any such matters, it is possible that these actions could be decided unfavorably to the Company. The Company believes that there are meritorious defenses to these actions and that these actions will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, and where appropriate, these actions are being vigorously contested. Accordingly, the Company believes the likelihood of material loss is remote. However, such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. The Company regularly undergoes tax audits in various jurisdictions in which our products are sold or manufactured. In the future, costs related to such audits or an unfavorable outcome could have a material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Following an audit for the 2018 tax year, the Mexican tax administration service, the Servicio de Administración Tributaria, (the “SAT”), issued a tax assessment in the amount of approximately $54.9 million to our subsidiary, Woodcrafters Home Products, S. de R.L. de C.V., for allegedly failing to make certain tax payments and to export timely certain merchandise. The Company disputed these findings and the SAT annulled their decision on January 11, 2024. In order to prevent the 2018 tax year from further audit by the SAT, the Company has filed an action to declare this annulment final in the specialized court of trade and customs in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Sala Especializada en Materia de Comercio Exterior y Auxiliar – Noreste, Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa. We reserved an immaterial amount related to the 2018 tax year audit as our best estimate of our probable liability as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. While we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of any future review relating to the 2018 tax year or other open tax years, based on currently known information, we believe our risk of additional loss is remote and not estimable.

Environmental

We reserve for remediation activities to clean up potential environmental liabilities as required by federal and state laws based on our best estimate of undiscounted future costs, excluding possible insurance recoveries or recoveries from other third parties. There were no material environmental accruals as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Total accumulated other comprehensive 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, realized 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 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023 were as follows:

15. Stock Repurchase Program

On May 9, 2023, we announced our Board of Directors’ authorization of a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $50.0 million of our common stock over a twenty-four month period at management’s discretion for general corporate purposes. As a result of this authorization, we may repurchase shares from time to time through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block trades or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and amount of our purchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, our available capital resources, our financial and operational performance, alternative uses of capital and other factors. We may limit or terminate the repurchase program at any time.

During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 267,499 and 371,499 shares of our common stock under this program, respectively. The shares were repurchased at a cost of approximately $4.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively, or an average of $17.30 and $17.58 per share, respectively, during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024. During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023, we repurchased 404,858 shares of our common stock under this program. The shares were repurchased at a cost of approximately $4.4 million, or an average of $10.89 per share, during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023.

As of June 30, 2024, $21.5 million remained authorized for purchase under our stock repurchase program.

16. Subsequent Events

On July 10, 2024, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Supreme, a cabinetry company, from GHK Capital Partners LP for $520.0 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments set forth in the Merger Agreement. Supreme is a domestic manufacturer of residential cabinetry with a portfolio of product lines significantly focused on premium products. Supreme, with manufacturing facilities located in Minnesota, Iowa and North Carolina, and its two brands, Dura Supreme and Bertch cabinetry, crafts framed and frameless cabinetry for a nationwide network of dealers.

We funded the acquisition with a combination of cash on hand and $430.0 million of proceeds from the revolving credit facility provided for by the 2024 Credit Agreement (see Note 9, “Debt” for further details). We are currently in the process of determining the initial purchase accounting for this transaction. Based on the timing of the acquisition and lack of available information, we determined it to be impracticable to disclose a preliminary purchase price allocation at this time.

The Company incurred $4.4 million of acquisition-related costs associated with the transaction in the second quarter of 2024, which are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Overview

Founded ~ 70 years ago, we are the largest manufacturer of residential cabinets in North America. Our superior product quality, innovative design and service excellence drives a compelling value proposition. We have insight into the fashion and features consumers desire, which we use to tailor our product lines across price points. Our volume leadership allows us to achieve an advantaged cost structure and service platform by standardizing product platforms and components to the greatest extent possible—resulting in an improved facility footprint and an efficient supply chain. Further, our decades of experience have informed how we use global geographies to optimize procurement and manufacturing costs. Finally, with the most extensive dealer network throughout the United States and Canada, we have an advantaged distribution model that cannot be easily replicated. We expect to further extend our competitive advantages by using technology and data to enhance the consumer’s experience from visualization to ordering to delivery and installation.

23

Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements are based on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in December in each calendar year and have been principally derived from the consolidated financial statements of our Company and its consolidated subsidiaries using the historical results of operations, and historical basis of assets and liabilities. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of condensed consolidated results of operations refers to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023.

Thirteen Weeks Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to the Thirteen Weeks Ended June 25, 2023

	Thirteen Weeks Ended

Net sales

Net sales were $676.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 compared to $695.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023, a decrease of $18.6 million, or 2.7 percent. The lower net sales, compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023, were driven by the combined net impact of price and mix on our overall average selling price, partially offset by an increase in sales unit volume. The increased sales unit volume offset 40.0 percent of the gross year-over-year decrease in net sales. Overall end-market demand was softer in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023 in the repair and remodel markets, while single-family new construction strengthened in the second quarter of 2024.

Compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023, net sales to dealers, whose end customers include builders, professional trades and home remodelers, declined $26.0 million, or 6.9 percent, and net sales to retailers, including through their respective retail internet website portals, declined $6.3 million, or 2.6 percent. Net sales directly to builders was up $13.7 million, or 17.5 percent.

Foreign currency impact was unfavorable by $0.4 million during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023.

24

Cost of products sold

Cost of products sold decreased by $13.4 million, or 2.9 percent, to $445.5 million (65.9 percent of net sales) in the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $458.9 million (66.0 percent of net sales) in the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023. The $13.4 million decrease in cost of products sold, as well as the improvement in cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales, is due primarily to the combined net impact of price and mix compared to the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023. This overall decrease was also a function of a year-over-year increase in realized savings from various cost reduction actions and carry over deflation in commodity costs and inbound transportation. The overall decrease was partially offset by $2.2 million of insurance recoveries in the second quarter of 2023 related to the tornado at our Jackson, GA facility, which did not recur in the current year, and the impact of increased sales unit volume, which offset 37.9 percent of the gross year-over-year decrease in cost of products sold.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $5.0 million, or 3.5 percent, to $146.7 million (21.7 percent of net sales) in the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 compared to $141.7 million (20.4 percent of net sales) in the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023. The increase in the second quarter of 2024 is primarily due to acquisition-related costs ($4.4 million) associated with the acquisition of Supreme, increased professional support fees ($4.3 million), and increased associate-related costs ($4.1 million), including salaries and incentive compensation. These increases are partially offset by lower distribution and commission costs ($6.8 million), as a result of the decrease in net sales.

Restructuring charges

Restructuring charges were $2.8 million in the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024, which was comparable to restructuring charges of $3.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023. Charges in both periods are largely related to severance costs and other employee-related costs in order to better align our workforce with our forecasted demand within our manufacturing footprint.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $20.6 million in the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $17.2 million in the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023. The increase in the second quarter of 2024 is due primarily to $6.5 million of nonrecurring interest expense incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 in connection with the debt refinancing transaction, including the write-off of deferred financing fees. This increase was partially offset by the favorable impact of lower outstanding debt in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023, as strong cash from operations throughout fiscal 2023 was used, in part, to pay down our revolving credit facility and term loan included as part of the 2022 Credit Agreement.

Other (income) expense, net

Other income, net was $2.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $3.4 million as compared to other expense, net of $0.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023. This increase was due primarily to transactional foreign currency gains in the second quarter of 2024.

Income taxes

Our condensed consolidated income before taxes, income tax expense, and effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023 were as follows:

	Thirteen Weeks Ended
(U.S. Dollars presented in millions, except percentages)	June 30, 2024			June 25, 2023
Income before taxes	$	60.1		$	69.7
Income tax expense	14.8			18.5
Effective tax rate	24.6		%	26.5		%

25

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, were 24.6 percent and 26.5 percent, respectively. The net decrease in the effective tax rate between the periods is primarily due to the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates, discrete adjustments, including the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested and changes due to final tax return filings, state and local income taxes and deferred tax liability for foreign earnings, partially offset by changes in foreign income inclusions with offsetting foreign tax credits.

The difference between our effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent is due to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, nondeductible compensation and foreign income inclusions with offsetting tax credits, partially offset by the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested and the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.

The difference between our effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent is due to the unfavorable changes in state and local income taxes, nondeductible compensation, foreign income inclusions with offsetting foreign tax credits and recognition of a deferred tax liability for foreign earnings, partially offset by the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.

The following discussion of condensed consolidated results of operations refers to the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023.

Twenty-six Weeks Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to the Twenty-six Weeks Ended June 25, 2023

Net sales

Net sales were $1,314.6 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1,371.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023, a decrease of $57.2 million, or 4.2 percent. The lower net sales, compared to the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023, were driven by the combined net impact of price and mix on our overall average selling price, partially offset by an increase in sales unit volume. The increased sales unit volume offset 15.5 percent of the gross year over year decrease in net sales. Overall end-market demand was softer in the first half of 2024 as compared to the first half of 2023 in the repair and remodel markets, while single-family new construction strengthened in the first half of 2024.

Compared to the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023, net sales to dealers, whose end customers include builders, professional trades and home remodelers, declined $57.8 million, or 8.0 percent, and net sales to retailers, including through their respective retail internet website portals, declined $21.9 million, or 4.4 percent. Net sales directly to builders increased $22.5 million, or 15.0 percent.

Foreign currency impact was unfavorable by $0.3 million during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023.

26

Cost of products sold

Cost of products sold decreased by $52.1 million, or 5.6 percent, to $878.9 million (66.9 percent of net sales) in the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $931.0 million (67.9 percent of net sales) in the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023. The $52.1 million decrease in cost of products sold, as well as the improvement in cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales in the first half of 2024, is due primarily to the combined net impact of price and mix. This overall decrease was also a function of a year-over-year increase in realized savings from various cost reduction actions, carry over deflation in commodity costs and inbound transportation, and $7.2 million of net incremental costs in the first half of 2023 ($9.4 million of gross costs, less $2.2 million of insurance recoveries) related to the tornado at the Jackson, GA facility that did not recur in the current year. This overall decrease was partially offset by the impact of increased sales unit volume, which offset 12.0 percent of the gross year-over-year decrease in cost of products sold.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $7.5 million, or 2.7 percent, to $284.5 million (21.6 percent of net sales) in the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 compared to $277.0 million (20.2 percent of net sales) in the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023. The increase in the first half of 2024 is primarily due to increased associate-related costs ($10.4 million), including salaries and incentive compensation, professional support fees ($5.9 million), and acquisition-related costs ($4.4 million). These increases are partially offset by lower distribution and commission costs ($10.7 million), as a result of the decrease in net sales. The first half of 2023 included $2.2 million of costs directly related to the separation from Fortune Brands, which did not recur in 2024.

Restructuring charges

Restructuring charges were $3.2 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, which was comparable to restructuring charges of $2.7 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023. Charges in both periods are largely related to severance costs and other employee-related costs in order to better align our workforce with our forecasted demand within our manufacturing footprint.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $34.7 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $34.6 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023. The first half of 2024 includes $6.5 million of nonrecurring interest expense incurred in connection with the debt refinancing transaction, including the write-off of deferred financing fees. This increase was partially offset by the favorable impact of lower outstanding debt in the first half of 2024 as compared to the first half of 2023, as strong cash from operations throughout fiscal 2023 was used, in part, to pay down our revolving credit facility and term loan included as part of the 2022 Credit Agreement.

Other (income) expense, net

Other income, net was $3.2 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $4.1 million as compared to other expense, net of $0.9 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023. This increase was due primarily to transactional foreign currency gains recorded in the first half of 2024.

Income taxes

Our condensed consolidated income before taxes, income tax expense, and effective tax rate for the twenty-six week periods ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023 were as follows:

	Twenty-six Weeks Ended
(U.S. Dollars presented in millions, except percentages)	June 30, 2024			June 25, 2023
Income before taxes	$	109.1		$	117.6
Income tax expense	26.3			31.4
Effective tax rate	24.1		%	26.7		%

The effective income tax rates for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023, were 24.1 percent and 26.7 percent, respectively. The net decrease in the effective tax rate between the periods is primarily due to the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates, discrete adjustments, including the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested and changes due to final tax return filings, state and local income taxes and deferred tax liability for foreign earnings, partially offset by changes in foreign income inclusions with offsetting foreign tax credits.

The difference between our effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent is due to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, foreign income inclusions with offsetting tax credits and nondeductible compensation, partially offset by the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested and the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.

The difference between our effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent is due to unfavorable changes in state and local income taxes, nondeductible compensation, foreign income inclusions with offsetting foreign tax credits, recognition of a deferred tax liability for foreign earnings and changes due to foreign tax return filings, partially offset by the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our operating income is generated by our subsidiaries. There are generally no restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to MasterBrand, other than the fact our subsidiaries have financial obligations that must be satisfied before funding us and such dividends are subject to applicable local law and may be limited due to terms of other contractual arrangements, including our indebtedness. We periodically review our portfolio of brands, manufacturing and supply chain footprint, and evaluate potential strategic transactions to increase stockholder value. However, we cannot predict whether or when we may enter into acquisitions, joint ventures or dispositions, or what impact any such transactions could have on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Our cash flows from operations, borrowing availability and overall liquidity are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” within Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024 within Part II, Item 1A.

On November 18, 2022, we entered into a 5-year, $1.25 billion credit agreement, consisting of a $750.0 million term loan and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility. The 2022 Credit Agreement was secured by certain assets as well as the guarantee of certain of our subsidiaries.

On June 27, 2024, the Company refinanced this debt by completing the Offering of $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes and entered into the 2024 Credit Agreement. The Company used the funds from the refinancing transaction, and cash on-hand, to: 1) refinance the 2022 Credit Agreement (including repaying all amounts outstanding under the existing term loan, inclusive of accrued and unpaid interest), 2) fund the previously announced acquisition of Supreme on July 10, 2024, and 3) to pay all fees and expenses related to the foregoing transactions. In July 2024, upon closing, we funded the acquisition with a combination of cash on hand and $430.0 million of proceeds from the revolving credit facility provided for by the 2024 Credit Agreement (see Note 9, “Debt” and Note 16, “Subsequent Events” for further details).

The Senior Notes will mature on July 15, 2032. Interest on the Senior Notes will accrue at a rate of 7.00 percent per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, beginning on January 15, 2025.

The Indenture contains certain covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations and restrictions on the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to (i) incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness, (ii) make restricted payments, (iii) create, incur or assume liens or use assets as security in other transactions, (iv) merge, consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of their assets, (v) sell or transfer certain assets, (vi) enter into or conduct transactions with affiliates of the Company and (vii) agree to certain restrictions or encumbrances on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends, make loans or advances or to otherwise transfer property or assets to the Company or other restricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of important conditions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations. The Indenture also includes customary events of default. Certain of the foregoing covenants will be suspended in the event that (i) the Senior Notes receive investment grade ratings from any two of Fitch Ratings Inc., Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or S&P Global Ratings and (ii) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants under the Indenture as of June 30, 2024.

28

The revolving credit facility under the 2024 Credit Agreement is not subject to amortization and will mature in June 2029. The 2024 Credit Agreement is secured by certain assets as well as the guarantee of certain of our subsidiaries.

Interest rates on the revolving credit facility are variable based on the SOFR, or, at the Company’s option, at a base reference rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent, (ii) the rate of interest last quoted by the Administrative Agent (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement) as its “prime rate” and (iii) the one-month SOFR rate plus 1.00 percent (the “Base Rate”), plus, as applicable, a margin ranging from 1.625 percent to 2.25 percent per annum for SOFR-based loans and ranging from 0.625 percent to 1.25 percent per annum for Base Rate-based loans, in each case, depending on the Company’s net leverage ratio. The Company will also pay customary agency fees and a commitment fee based on the daily unused portion of the revolving credit facility ranging from 0.200 percent to 0.300 percent per annum, depending on its net leverage ratio.

The 2024 Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, and restrictive covenants. The restrictive covenants limit the Company and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) create liens on the Company’s or such subsidiaries’ assets, (iii) engage in fundamental changes, (iv) make investments, (v) sell or otherwise dispose of assets, (vi) engage in sale-leaseback transactions, (vii) make restricted payments, (viii) engage in certain transactions with affiliates and (ix) enter into agreements restricting the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to make distributions to the Company or incur liens on their assets.

The 2024 Credit Agreement also contains a financial covenant that does not permit the Company to allow its net leverage ratio to exceed (i) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending on or prior to December 31, 2024, 3.50 to 1:00 and (ii) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending on or following March 31, 2025, 3.25 to 1:00 or, if the Company consummates any material acquisition, then the Company’s net leverage ratio shall not exceed 3.75 to 1.00 for the applicable fiscal quarter in which such acquisition is consummated and the three consecutive fiscal quarters thereafter. The Company is also required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00. The 2024 Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the termination of commitments under the revolving credit facility, the acceleration of all outstanding amounts thereunder and the requirement to cash collateralize outstanding letters of credit. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants under the 2024 Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, we had $688.9 million outstanding in third-party borrowings, net of deferred financing fees. We may also incur additional indebtedness in the future.

Cash Flows

Below is a summary of cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023.

	Twenty-six Weeks Ended
(U.S. Dollars presented in millions)	June 30, 2024		June 25, 2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	96.1	$	194.0
Net cash used in investing activities	(11.9)		(11.2)
Net cash used in financing activities	(40.3)		(172.0)
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(3.2)		(1.7)
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	40.7	$	9.1

Net cash provided by operating activities was $96.1 million in the first half of 2024 as compared to $194.0 million in the first half of 2023. In the first half of 2024, accounts receivable increased $10.5 million from the low fiscal 2023 ending balance resulting from strong cash collection efforts. In the first half of 2023, our accounts receivable decreased $53.9 million as a result of improvements in our collection processes throughout 2023. In the first half of 2024, the movement in inventory was $20.7 million unfavorable, reflective of the normal seasonal build in inventory from year-end. The first half of 2023 had favorable movement in inventory of $54.0 million. In 2022, we executed an intentional build in inventory in the first half of the year in order to mitigate the impact of an uncertain and volatile global supply chain environment. The favorable inventory movement in the first half of 2023 reflected our efforts to more efficiently manage our inventory levels in the supply chain environment, which have continued through the first half of 2024. Accounts payable was $21.8 million favorable in the first half of 2024, reflective of the increased purchasing associated with the higher inventory balance from year-end, as compared to unfavorable accounts payable movement of $39.6 million in the first half of 2023 as a result of decreased purchasing levels aligned with our inventory management.

29

Net cash used in investing activities was $11.9 million in the first half of 2024, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $11.2 million in first half of 2023. The year-over-year increase is due to increased capital expenditures as compared to the prior year, offset by the proceeds from the sale of a former manufacturing facility site in the second quarter of 2024.

Net cash used in financing activities was $40.3 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 as compared to cash used of $172.0 million in the twenty-six weeks ended June 25, 2023. In the first half of 2023, we used strong cash flows from operations to pay down $164.4 million of debt. In the first half of 2024, our $712.5 million term loan was repaid, and replaced with $700.0 of Senior Notes as a result of the refinancing transaction completed in the second quarter. The first half of 2024 also included the payment of $15.2 million of financing fees.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalent balances, along with available cash from operating cash flows and credit facilities, will be adequate to fund our typical needs, including working capital requirements and projected capital expenditures. We also believe we have access to additional funds from capital markets to fund strategic initiatives, including the acquisition of Supreme, which was completed on July 10, 2024.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

As discussed in Note 2, "Recently Issued Accounting Standards," of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have adopted and which have had a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our critical accounting estimates requiring significant judgement that could materially impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Since the date of the Company’s most recent Annual Report, there have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates or assumptions.

Item 3.         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in the information provided in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 4.         CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of June 30, 2024 (the “Evaluation Date”), have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are defendants in lawsuits that are ordinary routine litigation matters incidental to our business and operations. In addition, other matters, including tax assessments, audits, claims and governmental investigations and proceedings covering a wide range of matters are pending against us. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any such matters, it is possible that these actions could be decided unfavorably to us. We believe that there are meritorious defenses to these actions and that these actions will not have a material adverse effect on 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. However, such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. The Company regularly undergoes tax audits in various jurisdictions in which our products are sold or manufactured. In the future, such costs or an unfavorable outcome could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Based on available information to date and subject to below, we do not consider any such action, assessment, claim, investigation or proceeding to be material, within the meaning of that term as used in “Item 103 of Regulation S-K” and the instructions thereto.

Following an audit for the 2018 tax year, the Mexican tax administration service, the Servicio de Administración Tributaria, (the “SAT”), issued a tax assessment in the amount of approximately $54.9 million to our subsidiary, Woodcrafters Home Products, S. de R.L. de C.V., for allegedly failing to make certain tax payments and to export timely certain merchandise. The Company disputed these findings and the SAT annulled their decision on January 11, 2024. In order to prevent the 2018 tax year from further audit by the SAT, the Company has filed an action to declare this annulment final in the specialized court of trade and customs in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Sala Especializada en Materia de Comercio Exterior y Auxiliar – Noreste, Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa. We reserved an immaterial amount related to the 2018 tax year audit as our best estimate of our probable liability as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. While we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of any future review relating to the 2018 tax year or other open tax years, based on currently known information, we believe our risk of additional loss is remote and not estimable.

For additional information regarding our legal proceedings, refer to Note 13, "Contingencies and Accrued Losses," included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A.     RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 in the section entitled “Risk Factors” within Part I, Item 1A, other than those noted below:

31

Risks related to our operations

We may not be successful in identifying and executing potential business development transactions, such as our acquisition of Supreme, or realizing the financial and strategic goals that were contemplated at the time of any historical or potential business development transaction, which could have an adverse impact on our ability to meet our growth objectives.

We may seek to accelerate our growth by not only advancing our own product pipelines and maximizing the value of our existing products, but also through various forms of business development activities, which include our acquisition of Supreme and any alliances, licenses, joint ventures, collaborations, equity- or debt-based investments, dispositions, divestments, mergers and acquisitions. The success of our business development activities is dependent on the availability and accurate evaluation of appropriate opportunities, competition from others that are seeking similar opportunities and our ability to successfully identify, structure and execute transactions, including the ability to satisfy or waive closing conditions in the anticipated timeframes, or at all, and our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and develop and commercialize acquired products. Pursuing, executing and consummating these transactions may require substantial investment, which may require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which could result in increased leverage and/or a downgrade of our credit ratings or limit our operating or financial flexibility relative to our current position. The success of our business development transactions depends on our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of these transactions and is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, including the possibility that the anticipated benefits from such transactions, including synergies and cost savings, will not be realized or will not be realized within the anticipated time period.

With respect of the Supreme acquisition, the assumptions and estimates underlying the estimated synergies are inherently uncertain and, although considered reasonable by the Company’s management as of the date of the acquisition, are subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. The anticipated synergies are based upon assumptions about our ability to implement integration measures in a timely fashion and within certain cost parameters. Our ability to achieve the planned cost synergies is dependent upon a significant number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. No assurances can be made that the costs of achieving the synergies will not rise materially, or that such synergies will be realized in the amounts expected, in the timeframes we currently anticipate, or at all.

In addition, regulatory hurdles and commercialization challenges may adversely impact revenue and income contribution from acquired products and businesses. We may fail to generate anticipated revenue growth for our existing products, product pipeline and acquired products or businesses or we may fail to achieve anticipated cost savings, such as those anticipated with respect to Supreme, within anticipated time frames or at all, which may impact our ability to meet our growth objectives. Our business development activities may divert our focus and resources that would otherwise be invested into maintaining or growing our business. Similarly, the accretive impact anticipated from transactions may not be realized or may be delayed. Integration of these products or businesses may result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of ongoing business, including third-party relationships, or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies. Further, while we seek to mitigate risks and liabilities through, among other things, due diligence, we may be exposed to risks and liabilities as a result of business development transactions. There is no assurance that we will be able to acquire attractive businesses or enter into strategic business relationships on favorable terms ahead of our competitors, or that such acquisitions or strategic business development relationships will be accretive to earnings or improve our competitive position.

We have debt obligations, and may in the future incur additional debt obligations, that could adversely affect our business and profitability and our ability to meet our other obligations.

On June 27, 2024, the Company completed a private offering of $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00 percent Senior Notes due 2032 and entered into an amended and restated credit agreement. This debt could potentially have important consequences to us and our debt and equity investors, including:

• require a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make interest and principal payments, which could reduce our profitability;

• make it more difficult to satisfy debt service and other obligations;

• increase the risk of a future downgrade of our credit ratings, which could increase our future debt costs and limit the future availability of debt financing;

• increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, such as adverse interest rates;

32

• reduce the cash flow available to fund capital expenditures and other corporate purposes and to grow our business;

• limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry;

• place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors that may not be as highly leveraged with debt; and

• limit our ability to borrow additional funds as needed or take advantage of business opportunities as they arise, pay cash dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock.

To the extent that we incur additional indebtedness, the foregoing risks could increase. In addition, our actual cash requirements in the future may be greater than expected. Our cash flow from operations may not be sufficient to repay all of the outstanding debt as it becomes due, and we may not be able to borrow money, sell assets or otherwise raise funds on acceptable terms, or at all, to refinance our debt.

Additionally, our access to, and the availability of, financing on acceptable terms and conditions in the future will be impacted by many factors, including, but not limited to: (1) our financial performance; (2) our credit ratings; (3) the liquidity of the overall capital markets; and (4) the state of the economy, including the housing market. There can be no assurance that we will have access to the capital markets on terms acceptable to us.

Risks related to the Senior Notes

The terms of the 2024 Credit Agreement and the Indenture governing the Senior Notes restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions.

The 2024 Credit Agreement and Indenture that governs the Senior Notes contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interest, including, among other things, restrictions on our ability to:

•     incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness;

•     pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem capital stock;

•     prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt;

•     issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities;

•     make loans and investments;

•     sell or otherwise dispose of assets;

•     incur liens on assets;

•     enter into transactions with affiliates;

•     alter the businesses we conduct;

•     enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and

•     consolidate, merge with, or sell all or substantially all of our assets to, another person.

In addition, the 2024 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain specified financial ratios and to satisfy other financial condition tests.

A breach of the covenants or restrictions under our indebtedness could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. Such a default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt and may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In addition, an event of default under the 2024 Credit Agreement would permit the lenders under the 2024 Credit Agreement to terminate all commitments to extend further credit under that facility. Furthermore, if we were unable to repay the amounts due and payable under the 2024 Credit Agreement, the lenders under such facilities could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. In the event our lenders or noteholders accelerate the repayment of our borrowings, we and our subsidiaries may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness. As a result of these restrictions, we may be:

•     limited in how we conduct our business;

•     restricted in our ability to grow our business;

•     unable to take advantage of business opportunities that may be in our long-term best interest;

•     unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to operate during general economic or business downturns; or

•     unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities.

33

These restrictions may affect our ability to grow in accordance with our strategy. In addition, our financial results, our substantial indebtedness and our credit rating could adversely affect the availability and terms of our financing.

Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly. In addition, we might be required to refinance fixed rate indebtedness at less favorable interest rates.

Interest under our 2024 Credit Agreement will accrue at a floating rate, typically based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). As a result, changes in interest rates will affect the amount of interest we pay on borrowings under the 2024 Credit Agreement, and thus increases in SOFR will increase our interest expense. In addition, while changes in Treasury and other similar interest rates do not impact the interest rates payable with respect to our fixed rate indebtedness while outstanding, we might be required to pay higher interest rates with respect to any refinancing of fixed rate debt maturities, which would impact future results of operations and cash flows.
