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, 2024, our results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and changes in shareholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2023 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. Within the financial statements and tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which requires additional disclosures regarding an entity's reportable segments, particularly regarding significant segment expenses, as well as information relating to the chief operating decision maker. We adopted this standard on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and will adopt this standard for interim periods beginning in 2025. The adoption of this guidance will modify our annual disclosures in 2024, but will not have an impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, "Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method,” which permits an entity to elect to account for their tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received. We adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2024. The adoption of this new standard did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, "Liabilities – Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” which requires that an entity that uses a supplier finance program in connection with the purchase of goods or services disclose information about the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. We adopted this standard for annual periods on a retrospective basis, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning January 1, 2023. We also adopted the amendment on rollforward information, which became effective prospectively for annual periods beginning January 1, 2024. The adoption of this guidance modified our disclosures and will modify our annual disclosures for the rollforward information in 2024, but did not have an impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires additional income tax disclosures, particularly regarding the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will modify our disclosures, but will not have an impact on our financial position and results of operations.

B. ACQUISITIONS

In the third quarter of 2023, we acquired all of the share capital of Sauna360 Group Oy (“Sauna360”) for approximately €124 million ($136 million), net of cash acquired. Sauna360 has a portfolio of products that includes traditional, infrared, and wood-burning saunas as well as steam showers. The business is included within the Plumbing Products segment. In connection with this acquisition, we recognized $22 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets, which is related to trademarks, and $45 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 16 years. We also recognized $60 million of goodwill, which is not tax deductible, and is related primarily to the expected synergies from combining the operations into our business. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we updated 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. The purchase price allocation for this acquisition is based on analysis of information as of the acquisition date that was available through June 30, 2024, and will be updated through the measurement period, if necessary.

In the first quarter of 2021, our Hansgrohe SE subsidiary acquired a 75.1 percent equity interest in Easy Sanitary Solutions B.V. ("ESS"). The remaining 24.9 percent equity interest in ESS was subject to a call and put option that was exercisable by Hansgrohe SE or the sellers, respectively, any time after December 31, 2023. The redemption value of the call and put option was 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 sheets. We elected to adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interest to its full redemption amount directly into retained deficit.

In the first quarter of 2024, the sellers exercised their put option to sell the remaining 24.9 percent equity interest in ESS for €13 million ($15 million). The transaction was accounted for as an equity purchase transaction.

C. REVENUE

Our revenues are derived from sales to customers in the following geographic areas: North America and International, which are particularly in Europe. Net sales from these geographic areas, by segment, were as follows, in millions:

G. SUPPLIER FINANCE PROGRAM

We 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. Our current payment terms with a majority of our suppliers generally range from 45 to 90 days. 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 confirmed as valid under the program and included in accounts payable were $53 million at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Of the amounts confirmed as valid under the program, the amounts owed to participating financial institutions were $21 million and $28 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. All payments made under the program are recorded as a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

H. 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.

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 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 under the 2022 Credit Agreement at June 30, 2024.

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, 2024.

On April 26, 2022, we entered into a 364-day $500 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan (the "term loan") due April 26, 2023 with a syndicate of lenders. The term loan and commitments thereunder were subject to prepayment or termination at our option and the loans bore interest at SOFR plus a spread adjustment and 0.70%. The covenants, including the financial covenants, were substantially the same as those in the 2022 Credit Agreement. We repaid $300 million during 2022 and the remaining $200 million upon the maturity of the term loan on April 26, 2023.

On May 9, 2023, our Hansgrohe SE subsidiary entered into €70 million ($77 million) of short-term borrowings to support working capital needs. The loans contained no financial covenants and the full amount remained borrowed and outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 4.173% at June 30, 2023, and was fully repaid at December 31, 2023.

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. At both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate estimated market value of our short-term and long-term debt was approximately $2.6 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.0 billion.

Our effective tax rate was 26 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and 24 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was favorably impacted by $16 million and $12 million of income tax benefits, respectively. For both periods, the income tax benefits primarily resulted from stock-based compensation and a reduction in the liability for uncertain tax positions resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitation.

L. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation. 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: advertising, competition, contract, data privacy, employment, environmental, insurance coverage, intellectual property, personal injury, product compliance, product liability, securities and warranty. 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

Due to changing market conditions, we are experiencing, and may continue to experience, lower market demand for our products. We have been experiencing, and may continue to experience, elevated commodity and other input costs, as well as employee-related cost inflation. We aim to offset the potential unfavorable impact of our costs and lower demand for our products with productivity improvements, pricing, and other initiatives.

We continue to execute our strategies of leveraging our strong brand portfolio, our 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 customer service and disciplined capital allocation, will allow us to drive long-term growth and create value for our shareholders.

Consolidated Results of Operations

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted 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. Within the tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes.

The following discussion of consolidated results of operations refers to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods of 2023.

Our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $2,091 million, which decreased two percent compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. Excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency translation, net sales decreased two percent. Our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased primarily due to lower sales volume driven by paints and other coating products which decreased sales by two percent and unfavorable sales mix of plumbing products which decreased sales by one percent.

Our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $4,017 million, which decreased two percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency translation, net sales decreased three percent. Our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased primarily due to lower sales volume across the entire company which decreased sales by three percent and unfavorable sales mix of plumbing products which decreased sales by one percent. These amounts were partially offset by higher net selling prices which increased sales by one percent, driven by plumbing products.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS DISCUSSION

Plumbing Products

Sales

Net sales in the Plumbing Products segment increased two percent for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and remained flat for the six months ended June 30, 2024. In local currencies (including sales in currencies outside their respective functional currencies), net sales increased three percent and one percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Higher net selling prices increased sales by two percent and the acquisition of Sauna360 Group Oy ("Sauna360") increased sales by two percent for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, these amounts were partially offset by unfavorable sales mix which decreased sales by one percent. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, these amounts were mostly offset by lower sales volume which decreased sales by three percent and unfavorable sales mix which decreased sales by one percent.

Operating Results

Operating profit in the Plumbing Products segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was positively impacted by higher net selling prices and cost savings initiatives. These amounts were partially offset by lower sales volume for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and unfavorable sales mix and increased employee-related costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Decorative Architectural Products

Sales

Net sales in the Decorative Architectural Products segment decreased seven percent and five percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. These decreases were due primarily to lower sales volume for paints and other coating products and builders' hardware products and lower net selling prices for paints and other coating products for both periods.

Operating Results

Operating profit in the Decorative Architectural Products segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was negatively impacted by lower net selling prices and lower sales volume, partially offset by lower commodity costs and cost savings initiatives. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, operating profit was also positively impacted by lower marketing costs.

GEOGRAPHIC AREA RESULTS DISCUSSION

North America

Sales

North America net sales decreased one percent and two percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Lower sales volume decreased sales by two percent and three percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and unfavorable sales mix decreased sales by one percent for both periods. This was partially offset by the acquisition of Sauna360 which increased sales by one percent for both periods.

Operating Results

North America operating profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was positively impacted by cost saving initiatives and lower commodity costs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, these amounts were partially offset by lower sales volume, increased employee-related costs and unfavorable sales mix.

International

Sales

International net sales decreased three percent and four percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. In local currencies (including sales in currencies outside their respective functional currencies), net sales decreased one percent and three percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Lower sales volume decreased sales by two percent for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and unfavorable sales mix decreased sales by two percent and one percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. These amounts were partially offset by higher net selling prices which increased sales by one percent for both periods.

Operating Results

International operating profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was negatively impacted by unfavorable sales mix and unfavorable foreign currency translation. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, operating profit was also negatively impacted by lower sales volume. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, these amounts were partially offset by cost saving initiatives and increased net selling prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview of Capital Structure

We had cash and cash investments of approximately $398 million and $634 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 we held at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $284 million and $323 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.

Our current ratio was 1.8 to 1 and 1.7 to 1 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

We believe that our present cash balance and cash flows from operations, and borrowing availability under our revolving 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. However, due to the changing market conditions and its impact on our customers and suppliers, we are unable to fully estimate the extent of the impact that the changing market conditions may have on our future financial condition.

Credit Agreement

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. See Note H to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

364-day Term Loan

Other Liquidity and Capital Resource Activities

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. The amounts confirmed as valid under the program and included in accounts payable were $53 million at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Of the amounts confirmed as valid under the program, the amounts owed to participating financial institutions were $21 million and $28 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. All payments made under the program are recorded as a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. 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.

Share Repurchases

Cash Flows

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided by operations was $252 million, primarily driven by operating profit, partially offset by changes in working capital.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used for financing activities was $404 million, primarily due to $290 million for the repurchase and retirement of our common stock, $128 million for the payment of cash dividends, $33 million for employee withholding taxes paid on stock-based compensation, $15 million for the purchase of the remaining equity interest in Easy Sanitary Solutions B.V., and $12 million for dividends paid to noncontrolling interest. These uses of cash were partially offset by $75 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used for investing activities was $80 million, primarily driven by $74 million of capital expenditures.
