MASCO CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to fairly state our financial position at June 30, 2022, our results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and changes in shareholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted ("GAAP") in the United States of America.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. We adopted this standard for annual periods beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this new standard did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Acquired Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2021-08 requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized in accordance with Topic 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. We adopted this standard for annual periods beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this new standard did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

B. ACQUISITIONS

In the third quarter of 2021, we acquired all of the share capital of Steamist, Inc. ("Steamist") for approximately $56 million in cash. Steamist is a manufacturer of residential steam bath products that are complementary to many of our plumbing products. This business is included in our Plumbing Products segment. In connection with this acquisition, we recognized $31 million of definite-lived intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships. The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization period of 11 years. We also recognized $29 million of goodwill, which is not tax deductible, and is related primarily to the expected synergies from combining the operations into our business. Working capital and other adjustments were finalized with the seller in the fourth quarter of 2021, resulting in no significant changes.

In the first quarter of 2021, we acquired a 75.1 percent equity interest in Easy Sanitary Solutions B.V. ("ESS"), for approximately €47 million ($58 million), including $52 million of cash and $6 million of debt that will be paid out over two years less any pending or settled indemnity matters. The cash payment was made to a third-party notary on December 29, 2020 for the acquisition of this equity interest in advance of the transaction closing on January 4, 2021. ESS is a manufacturer of shower channel drains and offers a wide range of products for barrier-free showering and bathroom wall niches. This business is included in our Plumbing Products segment. In connection with this acquisition, we recognized $32 million of definite-lived intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships. The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization period of 10 years. We also recognized $35 million of goodwill, which is not tax deductible, and is related primarily to the expected synergies from combining the operations into our business.

The remaining 24.9 percent equity interest in ESS is subject to a call and put option that is exercisable by us or the sellers, respectively, any time after December 31, 2023. The redemption value of the call and put option is the same and based on a floating EBITDA value. The call and put options were determined to be embedded within the redeemable noncontrolling interest and were recorded as temporary equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. We elected to adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interest to its full redemption amount directly into retained deficit.

B. ACQUISITIONS, Concluded

In the fourth quarter of 2020, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of Kraus USA Inc. ("Kraus"), a designer and distributor of sinks, faucets and accessories for the kitchen and bathroom, for approximately $103 million and an additional cash payment of up to $50 million to be paid in 2023, contingent upon the achievement of certain financial performance metrics for the year ending December 31, 2022. As of the closing date of the acquisition, the contingent consideration was assigned a fair value of approximately $8 million. Refer to Note G for additional information regarding the measurement of the contingent consideration liability. This business expands our product offerings to our customers and our online presence under the Kraus brand. This business is included in our Plumbing Products segment. In connection with this acquisition, we recognized $25 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets, which is related to trademarks, and $49 million of definite-lived intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships. The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization period of 10 years. We also recognized $20 million of goodwill, which is generally tax deductible, and is related primarily to the expected synergies from combining the operations into our business. During the first quarter of 2021, we revised the allocation of the purchase price to certain identifiable assets and liabilities based on analysis of information as of the acquisition date, which resulted in a $1 million decrease to goodwill.

C. DIVESTITURES

On May 31, 2021, we completed the divestiture of our Hüppe GmbH ("Hüppe") business, a manufacturer of shower enclosures and shower trays. In connection with the divestiture, we recognized a loss of $18 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, which is included in other, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. This loss resulted primarily from the recognition of $23 million of currency translation losses that were previously included within accumulated other comprehensive income. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a $2 million pre-tax post-closing gain related to the finalization of working capital items in other, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. The sale of Hüppe did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results and therefore was not presented as discontinued operations. Prior to the divestiture, the results of the business were included in our Plumbing Products segment.

D. REVENUE

Our revenues are derived primarily from sales to customers in North America and Internationally, principally Europe. Net sales from these geographic markets, by segment, were as follows, in millions:

We recognized $8 million of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and we reversed $1 million of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 related to performance obligations settled in previous quarters of the same year. We recognized $8 million and $13 million of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $3 million and $4 million of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, related to performance obligations settled in previous years.

G. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Kraus Acquisition Contingent Consideration. As described in Note B, we may be obligated to pay up to an additional $50 million in 2023 for the Kraus acquisition contingent upon the achievement of certain financial performance metrics for the year ending December 31, 2022. The measurement of the liability for contingent consideration is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, and are therefore classified as Level 3 inputs. Examples of utilized unobservable inputs are estimated future revenues and earnings of the acquired business and an applicable discount rate. The estimate of the liability may fluctuate if there are changes in the forecast of the acquired business' future revenues and earnings, as a result of actual levels achieved, or in the discount rate used to determine the present value of contingent future cash flows. All subsequent remeasurements from the initial estimate at the time of acquisition are recorded in other, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, as described in Note N. As of June 30, 2022, we do not believe the financial performance metrics will be met and the fair value of the liability was estimated to be nil, using probability weighted discounted cash flows and a discount rate that reflects the uncertainty surrounding the expected outcomes, which we believe is appropriate and representative of a market participant assumption. The fair value of the liability was estimated to be $24 million as of December 31, 2021.

Fair Value of Debt. The fair value of our short-term and long-term fixed-rate debt instruments is based principally upon modeled market prices for the same or similar issues, which are Level 1 inputs. The 364-day term loan has an interest rate that resets monthly and the fair value of this instrument approximates the carrying value at June 30, 2022. The aggregate estimated market value of our short-term and long-term debt at June 30, 2022 was approximately $3.1 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.5 billion. The aggregate estimated market value of our short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2021 was approximately $3.2 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.0 billion.

I. DEBT

On April 26, 2022, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion and a maturity date of April 26, 2027. Under the 2022 Credit Agreement, at our request and subject to certain conditions, we can increase the aggregate commitment up to an additional $500 million with the current lenders or new lenders. Upon entry into the 2022 Credit Agreement, our credit agreement dated March 13, 2019, as amended, with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion, was terminated.

The 2022 Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility available to us and one of our foreign subsidiaries, in U.S. dollars, European euros, British Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollars and certain other currencies for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit. Borrowings under the revolving credit loans denominated in any agreed upon currency other than U.S. dollars are limited to the equivalent of $500 million. We can also borrow swingline loans up to $125 million and obtain letters of credit of up to $25 million. Outstanding letters of credit under the 2022 Credit Agreement reduce our borrowing capacity and we had no outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2022.

Revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest under the 2022 Credit Agreement at our option, at (A) SOFR rate for the interest period in effect for the borrowing, plus 0.1%, plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings; or (B) a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the U.S. prime rate, (ii) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the adjusted term SOFR rate for a one month interest period, plus 1.0%; plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. Foreign currency revolving credit loans denominated in Canadian dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the rate equal to the PRIMCAN Index rate and (ii) the CDOR rate for a one month interest period, plus 1.0%; plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. Foreign currency revolving credit loans denominated in British Pounds Sterling bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Daily Simple SONIA, plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. Foreign currency revolving credit loans denominated in European euros bear interest at the adjusted EURIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. The various benchmarks are subject to applicable floors.

The 2022 Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain (A) a net leverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not exceeding 4.0 to 1.0, and (B) an interest coverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not less than 2.5 to 1.0.

In order for us to borrow under the 2022 Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in our covenants in the 2022 Credit Agreement (i.e., in addition to the two financial covenants described above, principally limitations on subsidiary debt, negative pledge restrictions, and requirements relating to legal compliance, maintenance of our properties and insurance) and our representations and warranties in the 2022 Credit Agreement must be true in all material respects on the date of borrowing (i.e., principally no material adverse change or litigation likely to result in a material adverse change, since December 31, 2021, no material ERISA or environmental non-compliance, and no material tax deficiency). We were in compliance with all covenants and no borrowings were outstanding at June 30, 2022.

I. DEBT, Concluded

On April 26, 2022, we entered into a 364-day $500 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan due April 26, 2023 with a syndicate of lenders. The senior unsecured term loan and commitments thereunder are subject to prepayment or termination at our option and the loans will bear interest at SOFR plus a spread adjustment and 0.70%. The covenants, including the financial covenants, are substantially the same as those in the 2022 Credit Agreement.

On March 4, 2021, we issued $600 million of 1.500% Notes due February 15, 2028, $600 million of 2.000% Notes due February 15, 2031 and $300 million of 3.125% Notes due February 15, 2051. We received proceeds of $1,495 million, net of discount, for the issuance of these Notes. The Notes are senior indebtedness and are redeemable at our option at the applicable redemption price. On March 22, 2021, proceeds from the debt issuances, together with cash on hand, were used to repay and early retire our $326 million 5.950% Notes due March 15, 2022, $500 million 4.450% Notes due April 1, 2025, and $500 million 4.375% Notes due April 1, 2026. In connection with these early retirements, we incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $168 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which was recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

J. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Our 2014 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of stock-based incentives in various forms to our employees and non-employee Directors. At June 30, 2022, outstanding stock-based incentives were in the form of restricted stock units, performance restricted stock units, stock options, long-term stock awards and phantom stock awards.

Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units are granted to our key employees and non-employee Directors. These grants did not cause net share dilution due to our practice of repurchasing and retiring an equal number of shares in the open market.

We granted 605,100 restricted stock units in the six months ended June 30, 2022 with a weighted average grant date fair value of $59 per share.

Effective February 10, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, for retirement, of up to $2.0 billion of shares of our common stock in open-market transactions or otherwise. In May 2022, we entered into an accelerated stock repurchase transaction whereby we agreed to repurchase a total of $500 million of our common stock with an initial delivery of approximately 7.9 million shares. This transaction was completed on June 28, 2022, at which time we received, at no additional cost, approximately 1.6 million additional shares of our common stock resulting from changes in the volume weighted average stock price of our common stock over the term of the transaction, less a discount. In total, we repurchased and retired approximately 16.6 million shares of our common stock in the six months ended June 30, 2022 for approximately $914 million. This included 0.6 million shares to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted in the six months ended June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, we had $214 million remaining under the 2021 authorization.

On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share were $0.280 ($0.280) and $0.560 ($0.560) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.235 ($0.235) and $0.375 ($0.235) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

P. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are involved in claims and litigation, including class actions, mass torts and regulatory proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. The types of matters may include, among others: competition, product liability, employment, warranty, advertising, contract, personal injury, environmental, intellectual property, product compliance and insurance coverage. We believe we have adequate defenses in these matters. We are also subject to product safety regulations, product recalls and direct claims for product liabilities. We believe the likelihood that the outcome of these claims, litigation and product safety matters would have a material adverse effect on us is remote. However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in these matters, and we could, in the future, incur judgments or penalties, enter into settlements of claims or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of these matters, which could materially impact our results of operations.

Q. INCOME TAXES

Our 2021 income tax expense was impacted by the elimination of disproportionate tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income resulting in income tax expense of $5 million in the first quarter and $11 million in the second quarter, related to our debt retirement and pension plan termination, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Recent Trends

We are experiencing, and may continue to experience, higher commodity and other input costs, higher transportation costs and supply chain disruptions, particularly disruptions related to our ability to source products, components and raw materials. We are also experiencing and may continue to experience employee-related cost inflation and constraints in hiring qualified employees. We aim to offset the potential unfavorable impact of these items with productivity improvement and other initiatives.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt global economic activity, including our workforce and operations, as well as the operations of our customers and suppliers. There remains uncertainty regarding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting impact on our future operations and financial results.

We continue to execute our strategies of leveraging our strong brand portfolio, industry-leading positions and the Masco Operating System, our methodology to drive growth and productivity, to create long-term shareholder value. We remain confident in the fundamentals of our business and long-term strategy. We believe that our strong financial position and cash flow generation, together with our investments in our industry-leading branded building products, our continued focus on innovation and disciplined capital allocation, will allow us to drive long-term growth and create value for our shareholders.

SECOND QUARTER 2021 AND THE FIRST SIX MONTHS 2021

Consolidated Results of Operations

We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, we believe that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results under GAAP.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $2.4 billion, which increased eight percent compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Excluding acquisitions, divestitures and the effect of currency translation, net sales increased 11 percent. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $4.6 billion, which increased 10 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Excluding acquisitions, divestitures and the effect of currency translation, net sales increased 12 percent.

Net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased primarily due to:

•Higher net selling prices across the entire company which increased sales by 10 percent and nine percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

•Higher sales volume of plumbing products and paints and other coating products which increased sales by two percent and four percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

These amounts were partially offset by:

•Unfavorable foreign currency translation which decreased sales by three percent and two percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

•Lower sales volume of lighting and builders' hardware products which decreased sales one percent for both periods.

•The divestiture of our Hüppe business which decreased sales one percent for both periods.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS DISCUSSION

The following discussion of Business Segment and Geographic Area Results discussion refers to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021. Changes in operating profit in the following Business Segment and Geographic Area Results discussion exclude general corporate expense, net.

26

Plumbing Products

Sales

Net sales in the Plumbing Products segment increased three percent and six percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Favorable net selling prices increased sales by seven percent for both periods. Higher sales volume increased sales by one percent and three percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Such increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation which decreased sales by four percent and three percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and the divestiture of Hüppe, which decreased sales by one percent in both periods.

Operating Results

Operating profit in the Plumbing Products segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was negatively impacted by increased commodity and other input costs, transportation, employee-related and marketing costs as well as unfavorable foreign currency translation. These amounts were partially offset by favorable net selling prices and to a lesser extent increased sales volume.

Decorative Architectural Products

Sales

Net sales in the Decorative Architectural Products segment increased 15 percent and 16 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. This increase was due primarily to favorable net selling prices of paints and other coating products, lighting products, and builders' hardware products as well as higher sales volume of paints and other coating products and favorable sales mix of lighting products. These positive impacts were slightly offset by lower sales volume of lighting products and builders' hardware products.

Operating Results

Operating profit in the Decorative Architectural Products segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was positively impacted by favorable net selling prices and increased sales volume. These positive impacts were partially offset by increased commodity and other input costs, transportation and marketing costs.

GEOGRAPHIC AREA RESULTS DISCUSSION

North America

Sales

North American net sales increased 11 percent and 12 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Favorable net selling prices across all of our product categories and higher sales volume of paints and other coating products increased sales by 13 percent and 12 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, higher sales volume of plumbing products increased sales by one percent for only the six months ended June 30, 2022. These positive impacts were slightly offset by lower sales volume in lighting products and builders' hardware products, which decreased sales by two percent and one percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Operating Results

Operating profit in North America for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was negatively impacted by increased commodity and other input costs, transportation, and marketing costs. These amounts were partially offset by favorable net selling prices and increased sales volume.

27

International, Principally Europe

Sales

International net sales decreased three percent for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and increased one percent for the six months ended June 30, 2022. In local currencies (including sales in currencies outside their respective functional currencies), net sales increased eight percent and 10 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Favorable net selling prices of plumbing products increased sales by seven percent for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Higher sales volume of plumbing products increased sales by four percent and seven percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. These positive impacts were partially offset by the divestiture of our Hüppe business, which decreased sales three percent and four percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

Operating Results

International operating profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was negatively impacted by increased commodity and other input costs, transportation, and employee-related costs as well as unfavorable foreign currency translation. These amounts were partially offset by favorable net selling prices and increased sales volume.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our current ratio was 1.4 to 1 and 1.8 to 1 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The decrease in our current ratio is primarily due to the 364-day $500 million term loan that we entered into on April 26, 2022.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $174 million. Our cash flows from operations primarily benefited from operating profit, partially offset by changes in working capital, primarily higher receivables and inventory balances.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used for financing activities was $568 million, primarily due to $914 million for the repurchase and retirement of our common stock (including 0.6 million shares repurchased to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted in 2022), $131 million for the payment of cash dividends, and $17 million for employee withholding taxes paid on stock-based compensation. These uses of cash were partially offset by $500 million in proceeds from the 364-day term loan.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used for investing activities was $74 million, comprised primarily of $70 million of capital expenditures.

Our cash and cash investments were $440 million and $926 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Our cash and cash investments consist of overnight interest-bearing money market demand accounts, time deposit accounts and money market mutual funds containing government securities and treasury obligations. While we attempt to diversify these investments in a prudent manner to minimize risk, it is possible that future changes in the financial markets could affect the security or availability of these investments. Of the cash and cash investments held at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $330 million and $490 million, respectively, was held in our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds were needed for our operations in the U.S., their repatriation into the U.S. would not result in significant additional U.S. income tax or foreign withholding tax, as we have recorded such taxes on substantially all undistributed foreign earnings, except for those that are legally restricted.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we declared a cash dividend to a noncontrolling interest of $79 million that will be paid in the second half of 2022.

On April 26, 2022, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion and a maturity date of April 26, 2027. Under the 2022 Credit Agreement, at our request and subject to certain conditions, we can increase the aggregate commitment up to an additional $500 million with the current lenders or new lenders. Upon entry into the 2022 Credit Agreement, our credit agreement dated March 13, 2019, as amended, with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion, was terminated.

28

The 2022 Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain (A) a net leverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not exceeding 4.0 to 1.0, and (B) an interest coverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not less than 2.5 to 1.0.  We were in compliance with all covenants and no borrowings were outstanding under our 2022 Credit Agreement at June 30, 2022.

On April 26, 2022, we entered into a 364-day $500 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan due April 26, 2023 with a syndicate of lenders. The senior unsecured term loan and commitments thereunder are subject to prepayment or termination at our option and the loans will bear interest at SOFR plus a spread adjustment and 0.70%. The covenants, including the financial covenants, are substantially the same as those in the 2022 Credit Agreement.

On March 4, 2021, we issued $600 million of 1.500% Notes due February 15, 2028, $600 million of 2.000% Notes due February 15, 2031 and $300 million of 3.125% Notes due February 15, 2051. We received proceeds of $1,495 million, net of discount, for the issuance of these Notes. The Notes are senior indebtedness and are redeemable at our option at the applicable redemption price. On March 22, 2021, proceeds from the debt issuances, together with cash on hand, were used to repay and early retire our $326 million 5.950% Notes due March 15, 2022, $500 million 4.450% Notes due April 1, 2025, and $500 million 4.375% Notes due April 1, 2026. In connection with these early retirements, we incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $168 million, which was recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our cash flow and related liquidity, we work with suppliers to optimize our terms and conditions, including extending payment terms. We also facilitate a voluntary supply chain finance program (the "program") to provide certain of our suppliers with the opportunity to sell receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. A third party administers the program; our responsibility is limited to making payment on the terms originally negotiated with our supplier, regardless of whether the supplier sells its receivable to a financial institution. We do not enter into agreements with any of the participating financial institutions in connection with the program. The range of payment terms we negotiate with our suppliers is consistent, irrespective of whether a supplier participates in the program.

All outstanding payments owed under the program are recorded within accounts payable in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts owed to participating financial institutions under the program and included in accounts payable were $56 million and $43 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We account for all payments made under the program as a reduction to our cash flows from operations and reported within our (decrease) increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, net, line within our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The amounts settled through the program and paid to participating financial institutions were $108 million and $93 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. A downgrade in our credit rating or changes in the financial markets could limit the financial institutions’ willingness to commit funds to, and participate in, the program. We do not believe such risk would have a material impact on our working capital or cash flows, as substantially all of our payments are made outside of the program.

We believe that our present cash balance, cash flows from operations, and borrowing availability under our 2022 Credit Agreement are sufficient to fund our near-term working capital and other investment needs. We believe that our longer-term working capital and other general corporate requirements will be satisfied through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, from bank borrowings and future financial market activities.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The following table provides information regarding the repurchase of our common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2022 under the 2021 share repurchase authorization: 

Period	Total Number  Of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid Per Common Share		Total Number Of Shares Purchased As Part Of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Value Of Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under The Plans Or Programs
4/1/22 - 4/30/22	984,503	$	50.80	984,503	$	714,466,545
5/1/22 - 5/31/22 (A)	7,905,506	$	63.28	7,905,506	$	214,216,545
6/1/22 - 6/30/22 (A)	1,545,468	$	—	1,545,468	$	214,216,545
Total for the quarter	10,435,477	$	52.73	10,435,477	$	214,216,545

(A)    In May 2022, we entered into an accelerated stock repurchase transaction whereby we agreed to repurchase a total of $500 million of our common stock with an initial delivery of approximately 7.9 million shares. This transaction was completed on June 28, 2022, at which time we received, at no additional cost, approximately 1.6 million additional shares of our common stock resulting from changes in the volume weighted average stock price of our common stock over the term of the transaction, less a discount. The average price paid per common share in May 2022 does not reflect the holdback shares that we received upon completion of the accelerated stock repurchase transaction. If we had received the additional approximately 1.6 million shares at inception of the accelerated stock repurchase transaction, the total number of shares purchased under this transaction would have been approximately 9.5 million with an average price paid per common share of approximately $52.93.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to fairly state our financial position at June 30, 2022, our results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and changes in shareholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted ("GAAP") in the United States of America.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. We adopted this standard for annual periods beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this new standard did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Acquired Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2021-08 requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized in accordance with Topic 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. We adopted this standard for annual periods beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this new standard did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Acquisitions

ACQUISITIONS

In the third quarter of 2021, we acquired all of the share capital of Steamist, Inc. ("Steamist") for approximately $56 million in cash. Steamist is a manufacturer of residential steam bath products that are complementary to many of our plumbing products. This business is included in our Plumbing Products segment. In connection with this acquisition, we recognized $31 million of definite-lived intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships. The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization period of 11 years. We also recognized $29 million of goodwill, which is not tax deductible, and is related primarily to the expected synergies from combining the operations into our business. Working capital and other adjustments were finalized with the seller in the fourth quarter of 2021, resulting in no significant changes.

In the first quarter of 2021, we acquired a 75.1 percent equity interest in Easy Sanitary Solutions B.V. ("ESS"), for approximately €47 million ($58 million), including $52 million of cash and $6 million of debt that will be paid out over two years less any pending or settled indemnity matters. The cash payment was made to a third-party notary on December 29, 2020 for the acquisition of this equity interest in advance of the transaction closing on January 4, 2021. ESS is a manufacturer of shower channel drains and offers a wide range of products for barrier-free showering and bathroom wall niches. This business is included in our Plumbing Products segment. In connection with this acquisition, we recognized $32 million of definite-lived intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships. The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization period of 10 years. We also recognized $35 million of goodwill, which is not tax deductible, and is related primarily to the expected synergies from combining the operations into our business.

The remaining 24.9 percent equity interest in ESS is subject to a call and put option that is exercisable by us or the sellers, respectively, any time after December 31, 2023. The redemption value of the call and put option is the same and based on a floating EBITDA value. The call and put options were determined to be embedded within the redeemable noncontrolling interest and were recorded as temporary equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. We elected to adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interest to its full redemption amount directly into retained deficit.

B. ACQUISITIONS, Concluded

In the fourth quarter of 2020, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of Kraus USA Inc. ("Kraus"), a designer and distributor of sinks, faucets and accessories for the kitchen and bathroom, for approximately $103 million and an additional cash payment of up to $50 million to be paid in 2023, contingent upon the achievement of certain financial performance metrics for the year ending December 31, 2022. As of the closing date of the acquisition, the contingent consideration was assigned a fair value of approximately $8 million. Refer to Note G for additional information regarding the measurement of the contingent consideration liability. This business expands our product offerings to our customers and our online presence under the Kraus brand. This business is included in our Plumbing Products segment. In connection with this acquisition, we recognized $25 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets, which is related to trademarks, and $49 million of definite-lived intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships. The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization period of 10 years. We also recognized $20 million of goodwill, which is generally tax deductible, and is related primarily to the expected synergies from combining the operations into our business. During the first quarter of 2021, we revised the allocation of the purchase price to certain identifiable assets and liabilities based on analysis of information as of the acquisition date, which resulted in a $1 million decrease to goodwill.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Divestitures	DIVESTITURESOn May 31, 2021, we completed the divestiture of our Hüppe GmbH ("Hüppe") business, a manufacturer of shower enclosures and shower trays. In connection with the divestiture, we recognized a loss of $18 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, which is included in other, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. This loss resulted primarily from the recognition of $23 million of currency translation losses that were previously included within accumulated other comprehensive income. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a $2 million pre-tax post-closing gain related to the finalization of working capital items in other, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. The sale of Hüppe did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results and therefore was not presented as discontinued operations. Prior to the divestiture, the results of the business were included in our Plumbing Products segment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Of Financial Investments

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Kraus Acquisition Contingent Consideration. As described in Note B, we may be obligated to pay up to an additional $50 million in 2023 for the Kraus acquisition contingent upon the achievement of certain financial performance metrics for the year ending December 31, 2022. The measurement of the liability for contingent consideration is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, and are therefore classified as Level 3 inputs. Examples of utilized unobservable inputs are estimated future revenues and earnings of the acquired business and an applicable discount rate. The estimate of the liability may fluctuate if there are changes in the forecast of the acquired business' future revenues and earnings, as a result of actual levels achieved, or in the discount rate used to determine the present value of contingent future cash flows. All subsequent remeasurements from the initial estimate at the time of acquisition are recorded in other, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, as described in Note N. As of June 30, 2022, we do not believe the financial performance metrics will be met and the fair value of the liability was estimated to be nil, using probability weighted discounted cash flows and a discount rate that reflects the uncertainty surrounding the expected outcomes, which we believe is appropriate and representative of a market participant assumption. The fair value of the liability was estimated to be $24 million as of December 31, 2021.

Fair Value of Debt. The fair value of our short-term and long-term fixed-rate debt instruments is based principally upon modeled market prices for the same or similar issues, which are Level 1 inputs. The 364-day term loan has an interest rate that resets monthly and the fair value of this instrument approximates the carrying value at June 30, 2022. The aggregate estimated market value of our short-term and long-term debt at June 30, 2022 was approximately $3.1 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.5 billion. The aggregate estimated market value of our short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2021 was approximately $3.2 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.0 billion.

DEBT

On April 26, 2022, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion and a maturity date of April 26, 2027. Under the 2022 Credit Agreement, at our request and subject to certain conditions, we can increase the aggregate commitment up to an additional $500 million with the current lenders or new lenders. Upon entry into the 2022 Credit Agreement, our credit agreement dated March 13, 2019, as amended, with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion, was terminated.

The 2022 Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility available to us and one of our foreign subsidiaries, in U.S. dollars, European euros, British Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollars and certain other currencies for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit. Borrowings under the revolving credit loans denominated in any agreed upon currency other than U.S. dollars are limited to the equivalent of $500 million. We can also borrow swingline loans up to $125 million and obtain letters of credit of up to $25 million. Outstanding letters of credit under the 2022 Credit Agreement reduce our borrowing capacity and we had no outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2022.

Revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest under the 2022 Credit Agreement at our option, at (A) SOFR rate for the interest period in effect for the borrowing, plus 0.1%, plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings; or (B) a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the U.S. prime rate, (ii) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the adjusted term SOFR rate for a one month interest period, plus 1.0%; plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. Foreign currency revolving credit loans denominated in Canadian dollars bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the rate equal to the PRIMCAN Index rate and (ii) the CDOR rate for a one month interest period, plus 1.0%; plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. Foreign currency revolving credit loans denominated in British Pounds Sterling bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Daily Simple SONIA, plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. Foreign currency revolving credit loans denominated in European euros bear interest at the adjusted EURIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. The various benchmarks are subject to applicable floors.

The 2022 Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain (A) a net leverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not exceeding 4.0 to 1.0, and (B) an interest coverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not less than 2.5 to 1.0.

In order for us to borrow under the 2022 Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in our covenants in the 2022 Credit Agreement (i.e., in addition to the two financial covenants described above, principally limitations on subsidiary debt, negative pledge restrictions, and requirements relating to legal compliance, maintenance of our properties and insurance) and our representations and warranties in the 2022 Credit Agreement must be true in all material respects on the date of borrowing (i.e., principally no material adverse change or litigation likely to result in a material adverse change, since December 31, 2021, no material ERISA or environmental non-compliance, and no material tax deficiency). We were in compliance with all covenants and no borrowings were outstanding at June 30, 2022. 

I. DEBT, Concluded

On April 26, 2022, we entered into a 364-day $500 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan due April 26, 2023 with a syndicate of lenders. The senior unsecured term loan and commitments thereunder are subject to prepayment or termination at our option and the loans will bear interest at SOFR plus a spread adjustment and 0.70%. The covenants, including the financial covenants, are substantially the same as those in the 2022 Credit Agreement.

On March 4, 2021, we issued $600 million of 1.500% Notes due February 15, 2028, $600 million of 2.000% Notes due February 15, 2031 and $300 million of 3.125% Notes due February 15, 2051. We received proceeds of $1,495 million, net of discount, for the issuance of these Notes. The Notes are senior indebtedness and are redeemable at our option at the applicable redemption price. On March 22, 2021, proceeds from the debt issuances, together with cash on hand, were used to repay and early retire our $326 million 5.950% Notes due March 15, 2022, $500 million 4.450% Notes due April 1, 2025, and $500 million 4.375% Notes due April 1, 2026. In connection with these early retirements, we incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $168 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which was recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Our 2014 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of stock-based incentives in various forms to our employees and non-employee Directors. At June 30, 2022, outstanding stock-based incentives were in the form of restricted stock units, performance restricted stock units, stock options, long-term stock awards and phantom stock awards.

Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units are granted to our key employees and non-employee Directors. These grants did not cause net share dilution due to our practice of repurchasing and retiring an equal number of shares in the open market.

We granted 605,100 restricted stock units in the six months ended June 30, 2022 with a weighted average grant date fair value of $59 per share.

Performance Restricted Stock Units. Under our Long Term Incentive Program, we grant performance restricted stock units to certain senior executives. These performance restricted stock units will vest and share awards will be issued at no cost to the employees, subject to our achievement of specified performance metrics established by our Compensation Committee over a three-year performance period and the recipient's continued employment through the share award date.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we granted 91,820 performance restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of approximately $55 per share and 167,903 shares were issued. No performance restricted stock units were forfeited during the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we granted 85,360 performance restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of approximately $53 per share and 104,757 shares were issued.

This transaction was completed on June 28, 2022, at which time we received, at no additional cost, approximately 1.6 million additional shares of our common stock resulting from changes in the volume weighted average stock price of our common stock over the term of the transaction, less a discount. In total, we repurchased and retired approximately 16.6 million shares of our common stock in the six months ended June 30, 2022 for approximately $914 million. This included 0.6 million shares to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted in the six months ended June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, we had $214 million remaining under the 2021 authorization.

On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share were $0.280 ($0.280) and $0.560 ($0.560) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.235 ($0.235) and $0.375 ($0.235) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are involved in claims and litigation, including class actions, mass torts and regulatory proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. The types of matters may include, among others: competition, product liability, employment, warranty, advertising, contract, personal injury, environmental, intellectual property, product compliance and insurance coverage. We believe we have adequate defenses in these matters. We are also subject to product safety regulations, product recalls and direct claims for product liabilities. We believe the likelihood that the outcome of these claims, litigation and product safety matters would have a material adverse effect on us is remote. However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in these matters, and we could, in the future, incur judgments or penalties, enter into settlements of claims or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of these matters, which could materially impact our results of operations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. We adopted this standard for annual periods beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this new standard did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Acquired Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2021-08 requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized in accordance with Topic 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. We adopted this standard for annual periods beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this new standard did not impact our financial position or results of operations.
