NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLI DATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company is a leading innovation company dedicated to creating smarter, safer and more beautiful homes and improving lives that competes in attractive long-term growth markets in our product categories. The Company's driving purpose is to elevate every life by transforming spaces into havens. 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 sheet as of September 28, 2024, the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and equity for the thirty-nine weeks and thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2024, the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and equity for the thirty-nine weeks and thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 are unaudited. Certain previously reported amounts have been presented to conform with the current period presentation. 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 $105.6 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 arrangements. 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 $105.6 million, which includes $84.4 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 $813.9 million, net of cash acquired of $21.9 million. During the second quarter of 2024, legal title to international operations in Vietnam transferred to us, which included a payment of approximately $23.5 million, net of cash of $5.6 million (which amount is already included in the overall purchase price). 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.
- 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 standard is effective for the Company for annual periods starting in 2024 and interim periods in 2025. We are currently assessing the impact on our 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. The standard is effective for the Company for annual periods starting in 2025. We are currently assessing the impact on our financial statement disclosures.

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated financial information as if the Acquired Businesses had been acquired on January 1, 2022.

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.

Outstanding borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program as of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 were $104.7 million andzero, respectively.
- 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 currency exchange contracts. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet and are reflected on a gross basis. We have not entered into any master netting arrangements. 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.
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 account for these commodity derivatives as economic hedges or cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of economic hedges are immediately recognized in current period earnings.
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 September 28, 2024, we hadno outstanding interest rate hedges.
We may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to protect against foreign exchange risks associated with certain existing assets and liabilities, forecasted future cash flows, and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Foreign exchange contracts related to forecasted future cash flows correspond to the periods of the forecasted transactions, which generally do not exceed 12 to 15 months subsequent to the latest balance sheet date. 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 September 28, 2024 was $603.5 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of September 28, 2024, we estimate that $9.5 million ofnet derivative gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of September 28, 2024 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.
During the second quarter of 2024, we entered into an 18 month cross-currency swap contract to hedge Chinese yuan exposures of the Company's net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. As of September 28, 2024, the notional value of the cross-currency swap contracts was $125.0 million. The cross-currency swaps were designated as net investment hedges, with the amount of gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of these instruments included within accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized upon termination of the respective investment.
For derivative instruments that are designated as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized on the same line of the consolidated statements of income. The changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income and are recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the hedged item affects earnings.
The fair values of derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 were as follows:

- Fair Value Measurements
FASB 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.
The carrying value and fair value of debt as of September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 were as follows:
| (In millions) | September 28, 2024 | December 30, 2023 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CarryingValue | FairValue | CarryingValue | FairValue | |
| Notes, net of underwriting commissions, price discounts and debt issuance costs | $2,672.6 | $2,611.4 | $2,670.1 | $2,562.4 |

| Total debt | $2,777.3 | $2,716.1 | $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 September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 were as follows:

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 that became 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.

- 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.
- Subsequent Events
Defined Benefit Plan Annuitization
In October 2024, the Company entered into two agreements with an insurance company to purchase group annuity contracts and to transfer approximately $272 millionof pension plan obligations and related assets of two of its defined benefit pension plans, the MasterLock Pension Plan and the Moen Incorporated Pension Plan (collectively, the "Plans").
The purchase of the group annuity contracts by the Company closed on October 15, 2024 and November 4, 2024, respectively. The contracts cover approximately 4,100 participants and beneficiaries (the “Transferred Participants”). All Transferred Participants will continue to receive their benefits from the Plans until January 1, 2025, at which time the insurance company will begin paying and administering the retirement benefits of the Transferred Participants. The transactions result in no changes to the amount of benefits payable to the Transferred Participants.
As a result of these transactions, which were funded with existing assets of the Plans and which did not require any additional funding contributions from the Company, the Company expects to recognize a total non-cash, pre-tax pension settlement charge of approximately $20 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The actual charge will depend on finalization of the actuarial and other assumptions.
