Current report
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) by the executive branch are not lawful. On March 4, 2026, the Court of International Trade (CIT) ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to begin the refund process for all importers who were subject to IEEPA tariffs. The Company submitted its request on April 21, 2026, for reimbursement in the amount of $70.7 million, reflecting the amount of IEEPA tariffs it determined were paid while such tariffs were in effect.
Current report
As the nature, timing, and extent of any such refunds were uncertain, the Company elected to account for refunds as gain contingencies, based on the original tariff cost recognition in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies(“ASC 450”). As of July 4, 2026, the Company has received $65.5 million in reimbursements. During the three and six months ended July 4, 2026, the Company reduced cost of sales by $49.3 million, effectively reversing the IEEPA tariff expense previously recognized in connection with inventory sold to customers since the tariffs were enacted in the first quarter of 2025, and reduced the carrying value of inventory and property, plant and equipment by $12.8 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
Current report
Notwithstanding the foregoing, uncertainty remains regarding the ultimate outcome and timing of recovery of these refunds, and any anticipated refunds may be delayed, reduced, or denied. The CIT order has been appealed by the U.S. government, and a successful appeal could delay, reduce or deny the funds described above. To the extent the Company is unable to recover tariffs previously paid, its results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition could be adversely affected. The Company will continue to monitor U.S. tariff-related developments and any associated impacts on its consolidated financial statements.

For the three months ended July 4, 2026, the net earnings attributable to the Company were $196.1 million compared to the net earnings attributable to the Company of $146.5 million for the three months ended June 28, 2025.

Previous report
The Company continues to actively monitor trade policy and tariff announcements, including various executive orders issued by the current U.S. presidential administration. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling addressing the validity of certain tariffs implemented under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). In March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an additional ruling that importers that paid tariffs under IEEPA are due refunds. While the Company has paid tariffs on certain imported products and materials that were subject to these IEEPA‑based duties, the nature, timing, and extent of any such refunds remains uncertain. The Company has taken steps to mitigate the implemented tariffs through managing inventory of sourced products, adjusting prices and optimizing its supply chain. The Company continues to monitor changing tariff levels and adjust its strategies to mitigate their impact as trade policy evolves. These tariff actions, retaliatory measures, or other trade restrictions could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

Previous wording
While commercial demand remained stable through the first quarter of 2026, continued softness in U.S. housing turnover, sluggish new home construction and weak consumer confidence negatively affected the Company’s markets. Housing turnover in the Company's major regions remained near historically low levels, driven by affordability challenges, elevated mortgage rates and home prices, and broader economic uncertainty. While the Company believes the ongoing housing shortage across its markets, along with elevated consumer savings, and stable employment conditions, may support greater participation in the housing market as consumer confidence improves, the ongoing impact of soft demand, inflationary pressures and elevated interest rates to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects cannot be determined at this time.

The Company believes the ongoing housing shortage across its markets, stable employment conditions and wage growth, and record home equity levels may support greater participation in the housing market as consumer confidence improves, and aging housing stock and evolving family needs may support greater home renovation and remodeling. However, the ongoing impact of soft demand, inflationary pressures and elevated interest rates on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects cannot be determined at this time.

For the three months ended April 4, 2026, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $8.9 million on earnings before income taxes of $108.2 million, for an effective tax rate of (8.2)%. For the three months ended March 29, 2025, the Company recorded income tax expense of $17.5 million on earnings before income taxes of $90.1 million, for an effective tax rate of 19.4%. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to tax benefits recognized during the three months ended April 4, 2026, including (i) a one-time U.S. tax benefit associated with a legal entity restructuring initiative, (ii) tax credits issued by the Brazilian government related to prior years, and (iii) a foreign tax credit benefit recorded in connection with a U.S. amended return. These favorable impacts were partially offset by the Company’s geographic dispersion of profits and losses for the respective periods and a non-recurring benefit recorded during the three months ended March 29, 2025 related to a prior period adjustment to deferred taxes.
Current wording
For the six months ended July 4, 2026, the Company recorded income tax expense of $43.4 million on earnings before income taxes of $356.7 million, for an effective tax rate of 12.2%.

Inflation affects the Company’s manufacturing costs, distribution costs and operating expenses. The Company expects raw material prices, many of which are petroleum-based, to fluctuate based upon worldwide supply and demand of commodities used in the Company’s production processes. Although the Company attempts to pass on increases in raw material, labor, energy and fuel-related costs to its customers, the Company’s ability to do so is dependent upon the rate and magnitude of any increase, competitive pressures and market conditions for the Company’s products. There have been in the past, and may be in the future, periods of time during which increases in these costs cannot be fully recovered. In the past, the Company has often been able to enhance productivity and develop new product innovations to help offset increases in costs resulting from inflation in its operations.

For the three months ended July 4, 2026, the Company recorded income tax expense of $52.3 million on earnings before income taxes of $248.5 million, for an effective tax rate of 21.0%. For the three months ended June 28, 2025, the Company recorded income tax expense of $34.0 million on earnings before income taxes of $180.5 million, for an effective tax rate of 18.8%. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the Company’s geographic dispersion of profits and losses for the respective periods and a non-recurring benefit recorded during the three months ended June 28, 2025 related to a prior period Italian tax benefit. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by a smaller increase in unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended July 4, 2026.
