Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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 March 31, 2026, and our results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025 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.
In the first quarter of 2026, we began the implementation of an internal reorganization to further streamline our business and optimize operations resulting in the integration of our Liberty Hardware (“Liberty”) business, a distributor of cabinet and other hardware and shower doors, into our Delta Faucet business. Prior to this reorganization Liberty had historically been included in our Decorative Architectural Products segment. As a result of the integration, all segment information herein, including comparable prior periods, include Liberty in our Plumbing Products segment rather than our Decorative Architectural Products segment.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets," which provides a practical expedient that allows entities to assume the current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. We adopted this standard on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2026. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, "Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities," which establishes guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. ASU 2025-10 is effective on a modified prospective, modified retrospective, or retrospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2029. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this standard and the impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software," which requires that an entity capitalize internal-use software development costs once management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. ASU 2025-06 is effective on a prospective, modified transition, or retrospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this standard and the impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses," which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective on a prospective or retrospective basis for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will modify our disclosures, but will not have an impact on our financial position and results of operations.

F. DEBT
On March 20, 2026, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “2026 Credit Agreement”) with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion and a maturity date of March 20, 2031. At our request (which may not be exercised more than two times), the maturity may be extended for an additionalone-year period, in each case subject to customary terms and conditions, including the consent of lenders holding at least a majority of the commitments and outstanding credit exposure under the 2026 Credit Agreement at the time. In addition, we may, at our option, request an increase in the aggregate commitment under the 2026 Credit Agreement of up to $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions. Upon entry into the 2026 Credit Agreement, our credit agreement dated April 26, 2022, with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion, was terminated.
The 2026 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 $120 million and obtain letters of credit of up to $25 million. Outstanding letters of credit under the 2026 Credit Agreement reduce our borrowing capacity and we hadno outstanding letters of credit under the 2026 Credit Agreement at March 31, 2026.
F. DEBT (Concluded)
Revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest under the 2026 Credit Agreement, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to (A) a U.S. dollar base rate or (B) the adjusted term SOFR rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. Foreign currency revolving credit loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable floating reference rate for loans denominated in the relevant foreign currency plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. The various benchmarks are subject to applicable floors.
The 2026 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 2026 Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in our covenants in the 2026 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 2026 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, 2025, no material ERISA or environmental non-compliance, and no material tax deficiency). We were in compliance with all covenants and $127 million was borrowed and outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 4.690% at March 31, 2026.
On April 21, 2026, we entered into atwo year, up to $500 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan due April 21, 2028 with a syndicate of lenders. The senior unsecured term loan and commitments thereunder are subject to prepayment at our option and the loans will bear interest, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to (A) a U.S. dollar base rate, (B) the adjusted term SOFR rate, or (C) the adjusted daily simple SOFR rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. The various benchmarks are subject to applicable floors. The covenants are substantially the same as those in the 2026 Credit Agreement.
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 aggregate estimated market value of our short-term and long-term debt at March 31, 2026 was approximately $2.8 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.1 billion. The aggregate estimated market value of our short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2025 was approximately $2.7 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.0 billion.
