NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLI DATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company is a leading innovation company focused on creating smarter, safer and more beautiful homes and improving lives that competes in attractive long-term growth markets in our product categories. References to “Fortune Brands,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole, unless the context otherwise requires.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not contain certain information included in our annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes. The December 30, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023.

The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 30, 2024, the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 and the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2023 are unaudited. The presentation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements have been included. Interim results may not be indicative of results for a full year.

On February 29, 2024, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Wise Water Solutions LLC, doing business as SpringWell Water Filtration Systems ("SpringWell"), for a purchase price of $105.2 million, subject to post-closing adjustments, net of cash acquired of $1.4 million. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility. The results of SpringWell are reported as part of the Water Innovations ("Water") segment. We have not included pro forma financial information as the transaction is immaterial to our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of February 29, 2024, was $105.2 million, which includes $84.0 million of goodwill. Goodwill includes expected sales and cost synergies and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

In June 2023, we acquired the Emtek and Schaub premium and luxury door and cabinet hardware business (the "Emtek and Schaub Business") and the U.S. and Canadian Yale and August residential smart locks business (the "Yale and August Business", and, collectively with the Emtek and Schaub Business, the "Acquired Businesses") from ASSA ABLOY, Inc. and its affiliates ("ASSA"). The Company completed the acquisition for a total purchase price of approximately $809.3 million, subject to post-closing adjustments, net of cash acquired of $16.3 million. As of the date of this filing, legal title to international operations in Vietnam has not yet transferred, but we expect a deferred closing, which will include a payment of approximately $23.5 million (which amount is already included in the overall purchase price but for which the cash payment has not yet been made) shortly following receipt of local regulatory approval. In preparation for the deferred closing, $23.5 million is classified as restricted cash within Other current assets and the corresponding payable is included within Other current liabilities. We financed the transaction with cash on hand. The results of the Emtek and Schaub Business are reported as part of the Water segment, and the results of the Yale and August Business are reported as part of the Security segment.

  1. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, which improves segment disclosure reporting requirements, primarily though enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact on our consolidated financial statements and related segment disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 which requires expanded disclosure of the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently assessing the impact on our financial statement disclosures.

SpringWell

On February 29, 2024, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of SpringWell for a purchase price of $105.2 million, subject to post-closing adjustments, net of cash acquired of $1.4 million. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility. The results of SpringWell are reported as part of the Water segment. We have not included pro forma financial information as the transaction is immaterial to our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of February 29, 2024, was $105.2 million, which includes $84.0 million of goodwill. Goodwill includes expected sales and cost synergies and is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Acquired Businesses

In June 2023, we acquired the Acquired Businesses from ASSA. The Company completed the acquisition for a total purchase price of approximately $809.3 million, subject to post-closing adjustments, net of cash acquired of $16.3 million. As of the date of this filing, legal title to international operations in Vietnam has not yet transferred, but we expect a deferred closing, which will include a payment of approximately $23.5 million (which amount is already included in the overall purchase price but for which the cash payment has not yet been made) shortly following receipt of local regulatory approval. In preparation for the deferred closing, $23.5 million is classified as restricted cash within Other current assets and the corresponding payable is included within Other current liabilities. We financed the transaction with cash on hand. The results of the Emtek and Schaub Business are reported as part of the Water segment, and the results of the Yale and August Business are reported as part of the Security segment.

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated financial information as if the Acquired Businesses had been acquired on January 1, 2022. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based on historical results of operations and financial position of the Company and the Acquired Businesses. The pro forma results include:

estimated amortization of finite-lived intangible assets, including customer relationships and proprietary technology,

the estimated cost of the inventory adjustment to fair value,

the reclassification of Acquired Businesses transaction costs from 2023 to the first quarter of 2022,

the removal of certain transactions recorded in the historical financial statements of the Acquired Businesses related to assets and activities which were retained by the seller, and

adjustments to conform accounting policies.

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not necessarily represent the results that would have occurred had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022. In addition, the unaudited pro forma information should not be deemed to be indicative of future results.

Amortizable identifiable intangible assets, principally customer relationships, are subject to amortization over their estimated useful life, ranging from 5 to 30 years, based on the assessment of a number of factors that may impact useful life, which includes customer attrition rates and other relevant factors.

  1. External Debt and Financing Arrangements

Senior Notes

At March 30, 2024, the Company had aggregate outstanding senior notes in the principal amount of $2.7 billion, with varying maturities (the “Notes”). The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company. The following table provides a summary of the Company’s outstanding Notes, including the net carrying value of the Notes, net of underwriting commissions, price discounts, and debt issuance costs as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023:

Credit Facilities

In August 2022, the Company entered into a third amended and restated $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes. The maturity date of the facility is August 2027. Interest rates under the Revolving Credit Agreement are variable based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s long-term credit rating and can range from SOFR +1.02% to SOFR +1.525%. Under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 3.0 to 1.0. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, losses from asset impairments, and certain other one-time adjustments. In addition, the Company's ratio of consolidated debt minus certain cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA generally may not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. There wereno outstanding borrowings under this facility as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023. As of March 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.

We currently have uncommitted bank lines of credit in China, which provide for unsecured borrowings for working capital of up to $30.5 million in aggregate as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023. There wereno outstanding balances as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023.

Commercial Paper

The Company operates a commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) pursuant to which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes. The Company’s Revolving Credit Agreement is the liquidity backstop for the repayment of any notes issued under the Commercial Paper Program, and as such, borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program are included in Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, with the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, including borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement, not to exceed $1.25 billion. The Company will use any issuances under the Commercial Paper Program for general corporate purposes. Outstanding borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023 were $373.7 million andzero, respectively.

  1. Financial Instruments

We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We principally use financial instruments to reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodities used as raw materials in our products. The principal derivative financial instruments we enter into on a routine basis are foreign exchange contracts. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value. The counterparties to derivative contracts are major financial institutions. We are subject to credit risk on these contracts equal to the fair value of these instruments. Management currently believes that the risk of incurring material losses is unlikely and that the losses, if any, would be immaterial to the Company.

Raw materials used by the Company are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, geopolitical and economic variables, and other unpredictable external factors. As a result, from time to time, we enter into commodity swaps to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in our operations.

We may be exposed to interest rate risk on existing debt or forecasted debt issuance. To mitigate this risk, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts. As of March 30, 2024, we had no outstanding interest rate hedges.

Our primary foreign currency hedge contracts pertain to the British pound, the Canadian dollar, the Mexican peso and the Chinese yuan. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all foreign currency derivative hedges outstanding at March 30, 2024 was $497.9 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of March 30, 2024, we estimate that $11.2 million of net derivative gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 30, 2024 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.

The fair values of derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023 were as follows:

  1. Fair Value Measurements

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification requirements for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Level 1 inputs, the highest priority, are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs reflect other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either observable directly or through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, due to little orno market activity for the asset or liability, such as internally-developed valuation models. We do not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that are Level 3, except for pension assets discussed in Note 11.

The carrying value and fair value of debt as of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023 were as follows:

(In millions)March 30, 2024December 30, 2023

Commercial paper borrowings373.7373.7——
Total debt$3,044.7$2,890.0$2,670.1$2,562.4

The estimated fair value of our Notes is determined by using quoted market prices of our debt securities, which are Level 1 inputs. The estimated fair value of borrowings under our Commercial Paper Program is determined primarily using broker quotes, which are Level 2 inputs.

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

  1. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Total accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income and other changes in business equity from transactions and other events from sources other than stockholders. It includes currency translation gains and losses, unrealized gains and losses from derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, and defined benefit plan adjustments. The after-tax components of and changes in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023 were as follows:

(In millions)Pension Benefits

  1. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 and thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2023 were 23.0% and 23.1%, respectively. The difference between the Company’s effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily relates to state income taxes and foreign income taxed at higher rates, partially offset by a favorable benefit related to a valuation allowance release and tax credits.

In 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development (“OECD”), with the support of over 130 countries, endorsed a framework (“Pillar Two”), which includes establishing a 15 percent global minimum corporate tax rate on a country-by-country basis. Numerous countries have adopted legislation in support of Pillar Two or are in the process of doing so, with certain rules becoming effective on January 1, 2024, and the remainder becoming effective on January 1, 2025. The Company is continuing to monitor and evaluate Pillar Two legislation and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s tax liability in 2024.

  1. Product Warranties

We generally record warranty expense related to contractual warranty terms at the time of sale. We may also provide customer concessions for claims made outside of the contractual warranty terms and those expenses are recorded in the period in which the concession is made. We offer our customers various warranty terms based on the type of product that is sold. Warranty expense is determined based on historic claim experience and the nature of the product category. The following table summarizes activity related to our product warranty liability for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is a defendant in lawsuits that are ordinary, routine litigation matters incidental to its businesses. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any litigation, it is possible that these actions could be decided unfavorably to the Company. The Company believes that there are meritorious defenses to these actions and that these actions will not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, and where appropriate, these actions are being vigorously contested. Accordingly, the Company believes the likelihood of material loss is remote.

Environmental

We are involved in remediation activities to clean up hazardous wastes as required by federal and state laws. Liabilities for remediation costs of each site are based on our best estimate of undiscounted future costs, excluding possible insurance recoveries or recoveries from other third parties. Uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, technology and information related to individual sites make it difficult to develop estimates of environmental remediation exposures. Some of the potential liabilities relate to sites we own, and some relate to sites we no longer own or never owned. Several of our subsidiaries have been designated as potentially responsible parties (“PRP”) under Superfund or similar state laws. In most instances where our subsidiaries are named as a PRP, we enter into cost-sharing arrangements with other PRPs. We give notice to insurance carriers of potential PRP liability, but very rarely, if ever, receive reimbursement from insurance for PRP costs. We believe compliance with current environmental protection laws (before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties) will not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
