Note 1. Description of Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business – JELD-WEN Holding, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, is a vertically integrated global manufacturer and distributor of windows, doors, and other building products that derives substantially all its revenues from the sale of its door and window products. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references in these notes to “JELD-WEN,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” are to JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Our continuing operations include facilities located in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Our products are marketed primarily under the JELD-WEN brand name in the U.S. and Canada and under JELD-WEN and a variety of acquired brand names in Europe.

Our revenues are affected by the level of new housing starts, residential and non-residential building construction, and repair and remodeling activity in each of our markets. Our sales typically follow seasonal new construction and repair and remodeling industry patterns. The peak season for home construction and remodeling in many of our markets generally corresponds with the second and third calendar quarters, and therefore, sales volume is typically higher during those quarters. Our first and fourth quarter sales volumes are generally lower due to reduced repair and remodeling activity and reduced activity in the building and construction industry as a result of colder and more inclement weather in certain areas of our geographic end markets.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 30, 2024 and for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. The results for the three months ended March 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any other period. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

On April 17, 2023, we entered into a Share Sale Agreement with Aristotle Holding III Pty Limited, a subsidiary of Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, to sell our Australasia business (“JW Australia”). On July 2, 2023, we completed the sale. The net assets and operations of the disposal group met the criteria to be classified as “discontinued operations” and are reported as such in all periods presented unless otherwise noted. The consolidated statements of cash flows include cash flows from discontinued operations through the divestiture date of July 2, 2023. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations for further information.

All U.S. dollar and other currency amounts, except per share amounts, are presented in thousands unless otherwise noted.

Fiscal Year – We operate on a fiscal calendar year, and each interim quarter is comprised of two 4-week periods and one 5-week period, with each week ending on a Saturday. Our fiscal year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. As a result, our first and fourth quarters may have more or fewer days included than a traditional 91-day fiscal quarter.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and allocations that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Significant items that are subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, long-lived assets including goodwill and other intangible assets, employee benefit obligations, income tax uncertainties, contingent assets and liabilities, provisions for bad debt, inventory, warranty liabilities, legal claims, valuation of derivatives, environmental remediation, and claims relating to self-insurance. Actual results could differ due to the uncertainty inherent in the nature of these estimates.

CARES Act – In March 2020, the United States government enacted the CARES Act to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act provided for tax relief, along with other stimulus measures, including a provision for an ERC designed to encourage businesses to retain employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. We recorded a receivable for an ERC from the U.S. government of $6.1 million in other income, net in the fourth quarter of 2023. The balance is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted – In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within the segment measure of profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. ASU 2023-07 will be applied retrospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. We do not expect the guidance to have an impact on our financial positions and results of operations. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We have not elected to early adopt this standard. We do not expect the guidance to have an impact on our financial positions and results of operations. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s disclosures.

We have considered the applicability and impact of all ASUs. We have assessed ASUs not listed above and have determined that they were either not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 2. Discontinued Operations

On April 17, 2023, we entered into a Share Sale Agreement with Aristotle Holding III Pty Limited, a subsidiary of Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, to sell our Australasia business (“JW Australia”), for a purchase price of approximately AUD $688 million. On July 2, 2023, we completed the sale, receiving net cash proceeds of approximately $446 million, including $3.3 million of cash received from the settlement of certain forward contracts.

We have classified the results of operations for the JW Australia reportable segment, together with certain costs related to the sale, as discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

Subsequent to the completion of the sale, we entered into an agreement to provide certain transition services to JW Australia, including providing information technology post-closing services, purchases under a supply agreement, and reimbursement for certain costs to upgrade specific IT systems up to a capped amount. As of March 30, 2024, we had a liability of $5.1 million relating to these matters, which was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, our liability relating to these matters was $8.2 million, of which $6.1 million was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and the remaining was included in deferred credits and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Components of amounts reflected in the consolidated statements of operations related to discontinued operations for the three months ended April 1, 2023 were as follows:

The cash flows related to discontinued operations have not been segregated and are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows through the divestiture date of July 2, 2023. The following table presents cash flow and non-cash information related to discontinued operations:

Note 3. Accounts Receivable

We sell our manufactured products to a large number of customers, primarily in the residential housing construction and remodel sectors, broadly dispersed across many domestic and foreign geographic regions. We assess the credit risk relating to our accounts receivable based on quantitative and qualitative factors, including historical credit collections within each region where we have operations. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers to minimize credit risk. We do not usually require collateral for accounts receivable, but do require advance payment, guarantees, a security interest in the products sold to a customer, and/or letters of credit in certain situations. Customer accounts receivable converted to notes receivable are collateralized by inventory or other collateral.

At March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had an allowance for credit losses of $10.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses in the three months ended March 30, 2024 was primarily due to decreased sales and an improved portfolio of aged receivables.

Note 4. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead costs.

Note 5. Property and Equipment, Net

We recorded accelerated depreciation of our plant and equipment of $2.2 million during the three months ended April 1, 2023 within restructuring and asset-related charges in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For more information, refer to Note 16 - Restructuring and Asset-Related Charges.

The effect on our carrying value of property and equipment due to currency translations for foreign property and equipment, net, was a decrease of $5.9 million as of March 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023, respectively.

Depreciation expense was recorded as follows:

Note 6. Goodwill

The following table summarizes the changes in goodwill by reportable segment:

Note 7. Intangible Assets, Net

The cost and accumulated amortization values of our intangible assets were as follows:

We recorded accelerated amortization of $14.1 million during the three months ended March 30, 2024 for an ERP that we are no longer utilizing after we completed our related obligations under the JW Australia Transition Services Agreement during the first quarter of 2024. The expense was recorded within SG&A expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The effect on our carrying value of intangible assets due to currency translations for foreign intangible assets was a decrease of $0.6 million as of March 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023.

Amortization expense was recorded as follows:

Note 8. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

The accrued sales and advertising rebates, accrued interest payable, accrued freight, and non-income related taxes can fluctuate significantly period-over-period due to timing of payments.

Note 9. Warranty Liability

Warranty terms range fromone year to lifetime on certain window and door components. Warranties are normally limited to servicing or replacing defective components for the original customer. Product defects arising within six months of sale are classified as manufacturing defects and are not included in the current period expense below. Some warranties are transferable to subsequent owners and are either limited to 10 years from the date of manufacture or require pro rata payments from the customer. Estimated warranty costs based on historical experience are recorded as a provision at the time of sale. The provision is adjusted periodically to reflect actual experience.

An analysis of our warranty liability is as follows:

The most significant component of our warranty liability was in the North America segment. As of March 30, 2024, the warranty liability in the North America segment totaled $46.3 million, after discounting future estimated cash flows at rates between 0.53% and 4.06%. Without discounting, the liability would have increased by approximately $3.8 million.

Note 10. Long-Term Debt

Our long-term debt, net of original issue discount and unamortized debt issuance costs, consisted of the following:

(1)Term Loan B, mortgage notes and certain finance leases and other financing arrangements are subject to variable interest rates.

Summaries of our significant changes to outstanding debt agreements as of March 30, 2024 are as follows:

Senior Secured Notes and Senior Notes

In December 2017, we issued $800.0 million of unsecured Senior Notes intwo tranches: $400.0 million bearing interest at 4.63% and maturing in December 2025 (“4.63% Senior Notes”), and $400.0 million bearing interest at 4.88% and maturing in December 2027 in a private placement for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

In May 2020, we issued $250.0 million of Senior Secured Notes bearing interest at 6.25% and maturing in May 2025 (“6.25% Senior Secured Notes”) in a private placement for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The proceeds were net of fees and expenses associated with debt issuance, including an underwriting fee of 1.25%. Interest is payable semiannually, in arrears, each May and November.

On August 3, 2023, we redeemed all $250.0 million of our 6.25% Senior Secured Notes and $200.0 million of our 4.63% Senior Notes. The Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $6.5 million on the redemption in the third quarter of 2023, consisting of $3.9 million in call premium and $2.6 million in accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs.

Term Loan Facility

U.S. Facility - Initially executed in October 2014, we amended the Term Loan Facility in July 2021 to, among other things, extend the maturity date from December 2024 to July 2028 and provide additional covenant flexibility. Pursuant to the amendment, certain existing and new lenders advanced $550.0 million of replacement term loans, the proceeds of which were used to prepay in full the amount outstanding under the previously existing term loans. The replacement term loans originally bore interest at LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus a margin of 2.00% to 2.25% depending on JWI’s corporate credit ratings. In addition, the amendment also modified certain other terms and provisions of the Term Loan Facility, and adds language to address the replacement of LIBOR with a SOFR basis upon the June 30, 2023 cessation of the publication of LIBOR. Voluntary prepayments of the replacement term loans are permitted at any time, in certain minimum principal amounts, but were subject to a 1.00% premium during the first six months. The amendment requires 0.25% of the initial principal to be repaid quarterly until maturity.

In June 2023, we amended the Term Loan Facility to replace LIBOR with a Term SOFR based rate as the successor benchmark rate and made certain other technical amendments and related conforming changes. All other material terms and conditions were unchanged.

In January 2024, we amended the Term Loan Facility to lower the applicable margin for replacement term loans, remove certain provisions no longer relevant to the parties, and make certain other technical amendments and related conforming changes. Pursuant to the amendment, replacement term loans bear interest at SOFR plus a margin of 1.75% to 2.00% depending on JWI’s corporate credit ratings, compared to a margin of 2.00% to 2.25% under the previous amendment. All other material terms and conditions of the Term Loan Agreement were unchanged. As a result of this amendment, we recognized debt extinguishment and refinancing costs of $1.4 million, which included $0.8 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and original discount fees.

As of March 30, 2024, the outstanding principal balance, net of original issue discount, was $534.2 million.

In May 2020, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with a weighted average fixed rate of 0.395% paid against one-month LIBOR floored at 0.00% with outstanding notional amounts aggregating to $370.0 million corresponding to that amount of the debt outstanding under our Term Loan Facility. In June 2023, the interest rate swap agreements were amended to convert to a SOFR basis on June 30, 2023, resulting in a weighted average fixed rate of 0.317% paid against one-month USD-SOFR CME Term floored at (0.10)%. The interest rate swap agreements were designated as cash flow hedges of a portion of the interest obligations on our Term Loan Facility borrowings and matured in December 2023. See Note 19 -Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information on our derivative assets and liabilities.

In February 2024, we entered into interest rate collar agreements with a cap rate of 4.50% paid against one-month USD-SOFR CME Term floored at 3.982% and 3.895% with outstanding notional amounts aggregating to $100.0 million corresponding to that amount of the debt outstanding under our Term Loan Facility. The interest rate collar agreements were designated as cash flow hedges of a portion of the interest obligations on our Term Loan Facility borrowings and mature in February 2026. See Note 19 -Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information on our derivative assets and liabilities.

Revolving Credit Facility

ABL Facility - Initially executed in 2014, extensions of credit under our ABL Facility are limited by a borrowing base calculated based on specified percentages of the value of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, subject to certain reserves and other adjustments. We pay a fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the commitments. The ABL Facility has a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio that we are obligated to comply with under certain circumstances. The ABL Facility has various non-financial covenants, including restrictions on liens, indebtedness, dividends, customary representations and warranties, and customary events of defaults and remedies.

In July 2021, we amended the ABL Facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date from December 2022 to July 2026, increase the aggregate commitment to $500.0 million, provide additional covenant flexibility, conform certain terms and provisions to the Term Loan Facility, and amend the interest rate grid applicable to the loans thereunder by adding language to address the replacement of LIBOR with a SOFR basis upon the June 30, 2023 cessation of the publication of LIBOR. Pursuant to the amendment, the amount allocated to U.S. borrowers was increased to $465.0 million. The amount allocated to Canadian borrowers was maintained at $35.0 million. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bore, at the borrower’s option, interest at either a base rate plus a margin of 0.25% to 0.50% depending on excess availability or LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.50% depending on excess availability. All other material terms and conditions were unchanged.

In June 2023, we amended the ABL Facility to replace LIBOR with a Term SOFR based rate as the successor benchmark rate and made certain other technical amendments and related conforming changes. All other material terms and conditions were unchanged.

As of March 30, 2024, we hadno outstanding borrowings, $7.7 million in letters of credit and $425.6 million available under the ABL Facility.

Mortgage Notes – In December 2007, we entered into thirty-year mortgage notes secured by land and buildings in Denmark with principal payments which began in 2018. As of March 30, 2024, we had DKK 146.6 million ($21.2 million) outstanding under these notes.

Finance leases and other financing arrangements – In addition to finance leases, we include insurance premium financing arrangements and loans secured by equipment in this category. As of March 30, 2024, we had $69.8 million outstanding in this category, with maturities ranging from 2024 to 2031.

As of March 30, 2024, we were in compliance with the terms of all of our Credit Facilities and the indentures governing the Senior Notes.

Note 11. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 11.0% and 29.2%for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively. In accordance with ASC 740-270, we recorded an income tax benefit of $3.4 million and income tax expense of$3.5 million from continuing operations in the three months ended March 30, 2024, and April 1, 2023, respectively. We applied our estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date income for includable entities during the respective periods. Our estimated annual effective tax rate for both years includes the impact of the tax on GILTI. Entities that are currently generating losses and for which there is a full valuation allowance are excluded from the worldwide effective tax rate calculation and are calculated separately.

The impact of significant discrete items is separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur. The tax expense for discrete items included in the tax provision for continuing operations for the three months ended March 30, 2024 was $2.6 million, compared to a tax expense of $1.0 million for the three months ended April 1, 2023. The discrete tax expense amounts for the three months ended March 30, 2024 comprised primarily of a net $2.0 million of tax expense due to changes in uncertain tax positions (“UTPs”) and a $0.4 million increase to the valuation allowance. The discrete tax expense amounts for the three months ended April 1, 2023 comprised primarily of $1.2 million of tax expense attributable to share-based compensation, partially offset by $0.2 million of tax benefit attributable to uncertain tax positions taken in the previous years.

Under ASC 740-10, we provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest expense by adjusting unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest accordingly. We recognize potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had a liability forunrecognized tax benefits without regard to accrued interest of $37.2 million and $38.9 million, respectively. As of March 30, 2024, $12.4 million of our liability for unrecognized tax benefits without regard to accrued interest was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

As of March 30, 2024, the Company maintained a partial indefinite reinvestment assertion on its post- 2017 undistributed foreign earnings.

Note 12. Segment Information

We report our segment information in the same way management internally organizes the business to assess performance and make decisions regarding allocation of resources in accordance with ASC 280-10 -Segment Reporting. Management reviews net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We define Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, adjusted for the following items: income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; and certain special items consisting of non-recurring net legal and professional expenses and settlements; restructuring and asset-related charges; M&A related costs; net (gain) loss on sale of property and equipment; loss on extinguishment and refinancing of debt; share-based compensation expense; non-cash foreign exchange transaction/translation (gain) loss; and other special items. We use Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations because we believe this measure assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. This non-GAAP financial measure should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We havetwo reportable segments, organized and managed principally in geographic regions: North America and Europe. We report all other business activities in Corporate and unallocated costs. Factors considered in determining thetwo reportable segments include the nature of business activities, the management structure accountable directly to the CODM, the discrete financial information regularly reviewed by the CODM, and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors. No operating segments have been aggregated for our presentation of reportable segments.

The following tables set forth certain information relating to our segments’ operations:

(1)Corporate and unallocated depreciation and amortization expense includes software accelerated amortization of $14.1 million for an ERP that we are no longer utilizing after we completed our related obligations under the JW Australia Transition Services Agreement during the first quarter of 2024.

Reconciliations of income from continuing operations, net of tax to Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations are as follows:

(1)Depreciation and amortization expense in the three months ended March 30, 2024 includes accelerated amortization of $14.1 million in Corporate and unallocated costs for an ERP that we are no longer utilizing after we completed our related obligations under the JW Australia Transition Services Agreement during the first quarter of 2024.

(2)Net legal and professional expenses and settlements include strategic transformation expenses, which are primarily third-party advisory fees, of $16.4 million and $1.4 million in the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively. The residual amounts primarily relate to litigation.

(3)Represents severance, accelerated depreciation and amortization, equipment relocation and other expenses directly incurred as a result of restructuring events. The restructuring charges primarily relate to charges incurred to change the operating structure, eliminate certain roles, and close certain manufacturing facilities in our North America and Europe segments.

(4)M&A related costs consists primarily of legal and professional expenses related to the disposition of Towanda.

(5)Net gain on sale of property and equipment, primarily in Chile, in the three months ended March 30, 2024.

(6)Loss on extinguishment and refinancing of debt of $1.4 million associated with an amendment of our Term Loan Facility.

(7)Represents non-cash equity-based compensation expense related to the issuance of share-based awards.

(8)Non-cash foreign exchange transaction/translation gain primarily associated with fair value adjustments of foreign currency derivatives and revaluation of balances denominated in foreign currencies.

(9)Other special items not core to ongoing business activity in the three months ended March 30, 2024 include a loss of $4.3 million of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments related to the substantial liquidation of a foreign subsidiary in Chile in our North America segment and ($1.5) million of cash received on an impaired note in Corporate and unallocated costs.

Preferred Stock -Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series and with such rights, privileges, and preferences as the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine. We have not issued any shares of Preferred Stock.

Common Stock -Common Stock includes the basis of shares outstanding plus amounts recorded as additional paid-in capital. Shares outstanding exclude the shares issued to the Employee Benefit Trust that are considered similar to treasury shares and total 193,941 shares at both March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 with a total original issuance value of $12.4 million.

We record share repurchases on their trade date and reduce shareholders’ equity and increase accounts payable. Repurchased shares are retired, and the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of the shares is charged to retained earnings.

On July 27, 2021, our Board of Directors increased our previous repurchase authorization to a total of $400.0 million with no expiration date.

On July 28, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program, replacing our previous share repurchase authorization, with an aggregate value of $200.0 million and no expiration date. As of March 30, 2024, there have beenno share repurchases under this program.

Note 14. Earnings Per Share

The basic and diluted income per share calculations were determined based on the following share data:

For the three months ended March 30, 2024, we had net losses from operations. As a result, no potentially dilutive securities were included in the denominator for computing diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

The following table provides the securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future but were not included in the computation of diluted income per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

Note 15. Stock Compensation

The activity under our incentive plans for the periods presented are reflected in the following tables:

Stock-based compensation expense was $5.1 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively. The increase in the stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 30, 2024 as compared to the respective prior year period was primarily related to an overall reduction in management turnover and the offering of PSUs to an extended level of management in 2024. As of March 30, 2024, we had $31.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 1.87 years.

Note 16. Restructuring and Asset-Related Charges

We engage in restructuring activities focused on improving productivity and operating margins. Restructuring costs primarily relate to costs associated with workforce reductions, plant consolidations and closures, and changes to the management structure to align with our operations. Other restructuring associated costs primarily consist of equipment relocation and facility restoration costs. Asset-related charges consist of accelerated depreciation and amortization of assets due to changes in asset useful lives.

The following table summarizes the restructuring and asset-related charges for the periods indicated:

The following is a summary of the restructuring accruals recorded and charges incurred:

Restructuring accruals are expected to be paid within the next 12 months and are included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

On April 11, 2024, we announced plans to closetwo manufacturing facilities, located in Vista, California and Hawkins, Wisconsin in a continuing effort to simplify our footprint and drive operational efficiencies. We expect to incur pre-tax restructuring expenses and other closure costs of approximately $45.0 million, primarily consisting of $15.1 million in asset-related charges, $11.4 million in restructuring severance and employee-related charges and $8.3 million in equipment relocation and facility restoration charges. If unsold, we would expect to incur approximately $10.2 million in inventory and other product-related charges which would be detrimental to Adjusted EBITDA. After completion of the site closures, we expect to realize annual pre-tax income improvements of at least $11 million. During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we recorded approximately $8.8 million in restructuring severance and employee-related charges in connection with the announced closures. We expect to incur a total pre-tax cash outlay of approximately $29.0 million by the end of 2024 in connection with the announced actions, none of which has been incurred as of March 30, 2024.

During 2023, we announced plans to transform our European operations by changing the operating structure, eliminating certain roles and rationalizing our manufacturing footprint. We plan to closetwo manufacturing facilities and transfer production to other facilities within Europe. We expect to incur pre-tax restructuring expenses and other closure costs of approximately $19.3 million for the approved actions, consisting of $11.5 million in restructuring severance and employee-related charges, $4.4 million in equipment relocation and facility restoration costs, and $3.4 million in capital expenditures. Through March 30, 2024, we recorded approximately $8.6 million of restructuring expenses and other closure costs in connection with these actions, consisting of $6.5 million in restructuring severance and employee-related charges, $1.2 million in capital expenditures and $0.9 million in equipment relocation and facility restoration costs. We recorded approximately $5.1 million of restructuring expenses and other closure costs in the three months ended March 30, 2024, consisting primarily of $3.5 million in restructuring severance and employee-related charges and $1.3 million in capital expenditures. We expect to incur a total pre-tax cash outlay of approximately $19.3 million by the end of 2024 in connection with the announced actions, of which, $6.2 million of cash outlay has been incurred as of March 30, 2024.

In the third quarter of 2023, we announced plans to closetwo manufacturing facilities, located in Tijuana, Mexico and Vista, California as part of our footprint rationalization activities. We expect to incur pre-tax restructuring expenses and other closure costs of approximately $18.8 million, primarily consisting of $7.9 million in restructuring severance and employee-related charges, $6.6 million in asset-related charges and $2.2 million in equipment relocation and facility restoration costs. Through March 30, 2024, we recorded approximately $16.3 million of restructuring expenses and other closure costs in connection withthe announced closures, consisting of $7.5 million in restructuring severance and employee-related charges, $6.6 million in asset-related charges and $2.2 million in equipment relocation and facility restoration costs. Additionally, we recorded $1.5 million in other non-cash inventory charges in 2023 in Cost of Sales, which were detrimental to Adjusted EBITDA. We recorded approximately $4.2 million of restructuring expenses and other closure costs in the three months ended March 30, 2024, consisting primarily of $2.9 million of asset-related charges and $1.2 million of equipment relocation costs. We expect to incur a total pre-tax cash outlay of approximately $11.0 million by the end of 2024 in connection with the announced closures, of which, $8.7 million of cash outlay has been incurred as of March 30, 2024.

In the first quarter of 2023, we announced to employees a restructuring plan to close a manufacturing facility in Atlanta, Georgia. We completed the plant closure during 2023, with total pre-tax restructuring expenses and other closure costs of approximately $17.7 million, including $1.1 million of capital expenditures, and total cash outlays of approximately $12.9 million. The primary expenses incurred were accelerated depreciation and amortization, equipment relocation costs, and restructuring severance and employee-related charges.

Note 17. Held for Sale

As of March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the assets and liabilities associated with the court-ordered divestiture of the Company’s Towanda, PA operations (“Towanda”) as described further in Note 21 -Commitments and Contingencies, qualify as held for sale. Since the Company will continue manufacturing door skins for its internal needs, the divestiture decision did not represent a strategic shift thereby precluding the divestiture as qualifying as a discontinued operation.

As of March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the related assets and liabilities included within the summary below were expected to be disposed of within the next twelve months and are included in assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Note 18. Other Income, Net

The table below summarizes the amounts included in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations:

(1)Represents the refund of deposits for antidumping and countervailing duties on wood mouldings and millwork products purchased from China from 2020 to 2022.

Note 19. Derivative Financial Instruments

Foreign currency derivatives – As a multinational corporation, we are exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. To the extent borrowings, sales, purchases, or other transactions are not executed in the local currency of the operating unit, we are exposed to foreign currency risk. In most of the countries in which we operate, the exposure to foreign currency movements is limited because the operating revenues and expenses of our business units are substantially denominated in the local currency. To mitigate the exposure, we may enter into a variety of foreign currency derivative contracts. To manage the effect of exchange fluctuations on forecasted sales, purchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and certain intercompany transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies, we have foreign currency derivative contracts with a total notional amount of $61.6 million as of March 30, 2024. We have foreign currency derivative contracts, with a total notional amount of $138.0 million, to manage the risks of foreign currency gains and losses on intercompany loans and interest. We also are subject to currency translation risk associated with converting our foreign operations’ financial statements into U.S. dollars. To mitigate the impact to the consolidated earnings of the Company from the effect of the translation of certain subsidiaries’ local currency results into U.S. dollars, we have foreign currency derivative contracts with a total notional amount of $12.9 million as of March 30, 2024. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of March 30, 2024, we have not elected hedge accounting for any foreign currency derivative contracts. We record mark-to-market changes in the values of these derivatives in other income, net. We recorded mark-to-market gains of $1.7 million and $1.0 million relating to foreign currency derivatives in the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively.

Interest rate derivatives – We are exposed to interest rate risk in connection with our variable rate long-term debt. In May 2020, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts aggregating to $370.0 million to manage this risk. The interest rate swap agreements matured in December 2023. Initially, the agreements had a weighted average fixed rate of 0.395% swapped against one-month USD LIBOR floored at 0.00%. In June 2023, we amended the agreements to replace LIBOR with a Term SOFR based rate. The amended agreements had a weighted average fixed rate of 0.317% swapped against one-month USD-SOFR CME Term floored at (0.10)%. All other terms and conditions were unchanged. We designated the interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges and they effectively fixed the interest rate on a corresponding portion of the aggregate debt outstanding under our Term Loan Facility.

In February 2024, we entered into interest rate collar agreements with a cap rate of 4.50% paid against one-month USD-SOFR CME Term floored at 3.982% and 3.895% with outstanding notional amounts aggregating to $100.0 million corresponding to that amount of the debt outstanding under our Term Loan Facility. The interest rate collar agreements were designated as cash flow hedges of a portion of the interest obligations on our Term Loan Facility borrowings and mature in February 2026.

No portion of these interest rate contracts were deemed ineffective during the three months ended March 30, 2024. We recordedpre-tax mark-to-market gains of $0.4 million, and losses of $0.3 million during the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively, in other comprehensive income. We reclassified gains of $0.1 million and $3.8 million previously recorded in other comprehensive income to interest income during the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively.

Other derivative instruments – From time to time, we enter into other types of derivative instruments immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. Unless otherwise disclosed, these instruments are not designated as hedging instruments and mark-to-market adjustments are recorded in the statement of operations each period.

The fair values of derivative instruments held are as follows:

Note 20. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We record financial assets and liabilities at fair value based on FASB guidance related to fair value measurements. The guidance requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The recorded carrying amounts and fair values of these instruments were as follows:

Derivative assets and liabilities reported in level 2 primarily include: (1) as of March 30, 2024, foreign currency derivative contracts and interest rate collar agreements; (2) as of December 31, 2023, foreign currency derivative contracts. See Note 19 -Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information about our derivative assets and liabilities.

Deferred compensation plan assets reported in level 2 consist of mutual funds.

There are no material non-financial assets or liabilities as of March 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Note 21. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation – We are involved in various legal proceedings, claims, and government audits arising in the ordinary course of business. We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. When a loss is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate within the range, we record the minimum estimated liability related to the lawsuit or claim. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability and revise our accruals, if necessary. Because of uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ materially from our estimates.

Other than the matters described below, there were no proceedings or litigation matters involving the Company or its property as of March 30, 2024 that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or cash flows, although they could have a material adverse effect on our operating results for a particular reporting period.

Steves & Sons, Inc. v JELD-WEN, Inc. – We sell molded door skins to certain customers pursuant to long-term contracts, and these customers in turn use the molded door skins to manufacture interior doors and compete directly against us in the marketplace. We gave notice of termination of one of these contracts and, on June 29, 2016, the counterparty to the agreement, Steves & Sons, Inc. (“Steves”) filed a claim against JWI in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division (the “Eastern District of Virginia”). The complaint alleged that our acquisition of CMI, a competitor in the molded door skins market, together with subsequent price increases and other alleged acts and omissions, violated antitrust laws, and constituted a breach of contract and breach of warranty. Specifically, the complaint alleged that our acquisition of CMI substantially lessened competition in the molded door skins market. The complaint sought declaratory relief, ordinary and treble damages, and injunctive relief, including divestiture of certain assets acquired in the CMI acquisition.

In February 2018, a jury in the Eastern District of Virginia returned a verdict that was unfavorable to JWI with respect to Steves’ claims that our acquisition of CMI violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act, and found that JWI breached the supply agreement between the parties (the “Original Action”). The verdict awarded Steves $12.2 million for past damages under both the Clayton Act and breach of contract claims and $46.5 million in future lost profits under the Clayton Act claim.

During the course of the proceedings in the Eastern District of Virginia, we discovered certain facts that led us to conclude that Steves, its principals, and certain former employees of the Company had misappropriated Company trade secrets, violated the terms of various agreements between the Company and those parties, and violated other laws. On May 11, 2018, a jury in the Eastern District of Virginia returned a verdict on our trade secrets claims against Steves and awarded damages in the amount of $1.2 million. The presiding judge entered a judgment in our favor for those damages, and the entire amount has been paid by Steves. On August 16, 2019, the presiding judge granted Steves’ request for an injunction, prohibiting us from pursuing certain claims against individual defendants pending in Bexar County, Texas (the “Steves Texas Trade Secret Theft Action”). On September 11, 2019, JELD-WEN filed a notice of appeal of the Eastern District of Virginia’s injunction to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals (the “Fourth Circuit”).

On March 13, 2019, the presiding judge entered an Amended Final Judgment Order in the Original Action, awarding $36.5 million in past damages under the Clayton Act (representing a trebling of the jury’s verdict) and granted divestiture of certain assets acquired in the CMI acquisition, subject to appeal. The judgment also conditionally awarded damages in the event the judgment was overturned on appeal. Specifically, the court awarded $139.4 million as future antitrust damages in the event the divestiture order was overturned on appeal and $9.9 million as past contract damages in the event both the divestiture and antitrust claims were overturned on appeal.

On April 12, 2019, Steves filed a petition requesting an award of its fees and a bill of costs, seeking $28.4 million in attorneys’ fees and $1.7 million in costs in connection with the Original Action. On November 19, 2019, the presiding judge entered an order for further relief awarding Steves an additional $7.1 million in damages for pricing differences from the date of the underlying jury verdict through May 31, 2019 (the “Pricing Action”). We also appealed that ruling. On April 14, 2020, Steves filed a motion for further supplemental relief for pricing differences from the date of the prior order and going forward through the end of the parties’ current supply agreement (the “Future Pricing Action”). We opposed that request for further relief.

JELD-WEN filed a supersedeas bond and notice of appeal of the judgment, which was heard by the Fourth Circuit on May 29, 2020. On February 18, 2021, the Fourth Circuit issued its decision on appeal in the Original Action, affirming the Amended Final Judgment Order in part and vacating and remanding in part. The Fourth Circuit vacated the Eastern District of Virginia’s alternative $139.4 million lost-profits award, holding that award was premature because Steves has not suffered the purported injury on which its claim for future lost profits rests. The Fourth Circuit also vacated the Eastern District of Virginia’s judgment for Sam Steves, Edward Steves, and John Pierce on JELD-WEN’s trade secrets claims. The Fourth Circuit affirmed the Eastern District of Virginia’s finding of antitrust injury and its award of $36.5 million in past antitrust damages. It also affirmed the Eastern District of Virginia’s divestiture order, while clarifying that JELD-WEN retains the right to challenge the terms of any divestiture, including whether a sale to any particular buyer will serve the public interest, and made clear that the Eastern District of Virginia may need to revisit its divestiture order if the special master who has been appointed by the presiding judge cannot locate a satisfactory buyer. JELD-WEN then filed a motion for rehearing en banc with the Fourth Circuit that was denied on March 22, 2021.

On May 1, 2024, JWI filed a motion to modify the Amended Final Judgment (the “Motion”) with the Eastern District of Virginia to vacate all court orders requiring divestiture of the Company’s Towanda operations and certain related assets. In light of changed industry and market factors and conditions, the Company believes that the divestiture of Towanda is no longer warranted and is asking the court for relief from that ruling. We made estimates related to the divestiture in the preparation of our financial statements; however, there can be no assurance that the Motion will be granted and that the divestiture requirement will be vacated. There can also be no guarantee that the divestiture will be consummated if the divestiture requirement is not ultimately vacated.

During the pendency of the Original Action, on February 14, 2020, Steves filed a complaint and motion for preliminary injunction in the Eastern District of Virginia alleging that we breached the long-term supply agreement between the parties, including, among other claims, by incorrectly calculating the allocation of door skins owed to Steves (the “Allocation Action”). Steves sought an additional allotment of door skins and damages for violation of antitrust laws, tortious interference, and breach of contract. On April 10, 2020, the presiding judge granted Steves’ motion for preliminary injunction, and the parties settled the issues underlying the preliminary injunction on April 30, 2020 and the Company reserved the right to appeal the ruling in the Fourth Circuit. The Company believed all the claims lacked merit and moved to dismiss the antitrust and tortious interference claims.

On June 2, 2020, we entered into a settlement agreement with Steves to resolve the Pricing Action, the Future Pricing Action, and the Allocation Action. As a result of the settlement, Steves filed a notice of satisfaction of judgment in the Pricing Action, withdrew its Future Pricing Action with prejudice, and filed a stipulated dismissal with prejudice in the Allocation Action. The Company also withdrew its appeal of the Pricing Action. The parties agreed to bear their own respective attorneys’ fees and costs in these actions. In partial consideration of the settlement, JWI and Steves entered into an amended supply agreement satisfactory to both parties that, by its terms, ended on September 10, 2021. This settlement had no effect on the Original Action between the parties except to agree that certain specific terms of the Amended Final Judgment Order in the Original Action would apply to the amended supply agreement during the pendency of the appeal of the Original Action. On April 2, 2021, JWI and Steves filed a stipulation regarding the amended supply agreement in the Original Action, stating that regardless of whether the case remains on appeal as of September 10, 2021, and absent further order of the court, the amended supply agreement would be extended until the divestiture of Towanda and certain related assets is complete and Steves’ new supply agreement with the company that acquires Towanda is in effect.

We continue to believe the claims in the settled actions lacked merit and made no admission of liability in these matters.

On October 7, 2021, we entered into a settlement agreement with Steves to resolve the following: (i) Steves’ past and any future claims for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs in connection with the Original Action, except that Steves and JWI each reserved the right to seek attorneys’ fees arising out of any challenge of the divestiture process or the final divestiture order; (ii) the Steves Texas Trade Secret Theft Action and the related Fourth Circuit appeal of the Eastern District of Virginia’s injunction in the Original Action; (iii) the past damages award in the Original Action; and (iv) any and all claims and counterclaims, known or unknown, that were asserted or could have been asserted against each other from the beginning of time through the date of the settlement agreement. As a result of the settlement, the parties filed a stipulated notice of satisfaction of the past antitrust damages judgment and a stipulated notice of settlement of Steves’ claim for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs against JWI in the Original Action, and Steves filed a notice of withdrawal of its motion for attorneys’ fees and expenses and bill of costs in the Original Action. The Company also filed a notice of dismissal with prejudice and agreed to take no judgment in the Steves Texas Trade Secret Theft Action, and the parties filed a joint agreement for dismissal of the injunction appeal in the Fourth Circuit. On November 3, 2021, we paid $66.4 million to Steves under the settlement agreement.

In re JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. Derivative Litigation– On February 2, 2021, Jason Aldridge, on behalf of the Company, filed a derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against certain current and former executives and directors of the Company, alleging that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by allowing the wrongful acts alleged in the Steves and Cambridge actions, as well as violations of Section 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets among other allegations (the “Aldridge Action”). The lawsuit sought compensatory damages, equitable relief, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on May 10, 2021.

On June 21, 2021, prior to a response from the Company in the Aldridge Action, Shieta Black and the Board of Trustees of the City of Miami General Employees’ & Sanitation Employees’ Retirement Trust, on behalf of the Company, filed a derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against certain current and former executives and directors of the Company and Onex Corporation (“Onex”), alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by allowing the wrongful acts alleged in the Steves and Cambridge actions, as well as insider trading, and unjust enrichment among other allegations (the “Black Action”). The lawsuit sought compensatory damages, corporate governance reforms, restitution, equitable relief, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. The court granted the Black and Aldridge plaintiffs in motion to consolidate the lawsuits on July 16, 2021.

On June 20, 2022, the parties entered into a settlement agreement of the consolidated matters, which was approved by the Court on approval of the December 20, 2022, and the cases were dismissed with prejudice. In January 2023, the Company, as putative plaintiff, received approximately $10.5 million after attorneys’ fees and costs were deducted as part of the settlement.

Canadian Antitrust Litigation – On May 15, 2020, Développement Émeraude Inc., on behalf of itself and others similarly situated, filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and Masonite in the Superior Court of the Province of Quebec, Canada, which was served on us on September 18, 2020 (“the Quebec Action”). The putative class consists of any person in Canada who, since October 2012, purchased one or more interior molded doors from the Company or Masonite. The suit alleges an illegal conspiracy between the Company and Masonite to agree on prices, the distribution of market shares and/or the production levels of interior molded doors and that the plaintiffs suffered damages in that they were charged and paid higher prices for interior molded doors than they would have had to pay but for the alleged anti-competitive conduct. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. On September 9, 2020, Kate O’Leary Swinkels, on behalf of herself and others similarly situated, filed a putative class action against the Company and Masonite in the Federal Court of Canada, which was served on us on September 29, 2020 (the “Federal Court Action”). The Federal Court Action makes substantially similar allegations to the Quebec Action and the putative class is represented by the same counsel. In February 2021, the plaintiff in the Federal Court Action issued a proposed Amended Statement of Claim that replaced the named plaintiff, Kate O’Leary Swinkels, with David Regan. The plaintiff has sought a stay of the Quebec Action while the Federal Court Action proceeds. On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement in principle with class counsel to resolve both actions for an immaterial amount, which the Company recorded in the second quarter of 2023. The proposed settlement remains subject to formal settlement documentation and court approval. The Company continues to believe the plaintiffs’ claims lack merit and denies any liability or wrongdoing for the claims made against the Company.

We have evaluated the claims against us and recorded provisions based on management’s judgment about the probable outcome of the litigation and have included our estimates in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets. See Note 8 -Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities. While we expect a favorable resolution to these matters, the dispute resolution process could be lengthy, and if the plaintiffs were to prevail completely or substantially in the respective matters described above, such an outcome could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, consolidated financial position, or cash flows.

Self-Insured Risk – We self-insure substantially all of our domestic business liability risks including general liability, product liability, warranty, personal injury, auto liability, workers’ compensation, and employee medical benefits. Excess insurance policies from independent insurance companies generally cover exposures between $5.0 million and $200.0 million for domestic product liability risk and exposures between $3.0 million and $200.0 million for auto, general liability, personal injury, and workers’ compensation. We estimate our provision for self-insured losses based upon an evaluation of current claim exposure and historical loss experience. Actual self-insurance losses may vary significantly from these estimates. At March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our accrued liability for self-insured risks was $87.3 million and $89.2 million, respectively.

Indemnifications – At March 30, 2024, we had commitments related to certain representations made in contracts for sale of businesses or property, including the divestiture of JW Australia. Our indemnity obligations under the relevant agreements may be limited in terms of time, amount or scope. These representations primarily relate to past actions such as responsibility for transfer taxes if they should be claimed, and the adequacy of recorded liabilities, warranty matters, employment benefit plans, income tax matters, or environmental exposures. As it relates to certain income tax related liabilities, the relevant agreements may not provide any cap for such liabilities, and the period in which we would be liable would lapse upon expiration of the statute of limitation for assessment of the underlying taxes. Because of the conditional nature of these obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement, we are unable to reasonably estimate the potential maximum exposure associated with these items. We are not aware of any material amounts claimed or expected to be claimed under these indemnities.

From time to time and in limited geographic areas, we have entered into agreements for the sale of our products to certain customers that provide additional indemnifications for liabilities arising from construction or product defects. We cannot estimate the potential magnitude of such exposures, but to the extent specific liabilities have been identified related to product sales, liabilities have been provided in the warranty accrual in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Other Financing Arrangements – At times we are required to provide letters of credit, surety bonds, or guarantees to meet various performance, legal, warranty, environmental, workers compensation, licensing, utility, and governmental requirements. Stand-by letters of credit are provided to certain customers and counterparties in the ordinary course of business as credit support for contractual performance guarantees, advanced payments received from customers, and future funding commitments. The stated values of these letters of credit agreements, surety bonds, and guarantees were $67.5 million at March 30, 2024 and $68.7 million at December 31, 2023, respectively.

Environmental Contingencies – We periodically incur environmental liabilities associated with remediating our current and former manufacturing sites as well as penalties for not complying with environmental rules and regulations. We record a liability for remediation costs when it is probable that we will be responsible for such costs and the costs can be reasonably estimated. These environmental liabilities are estimated based on current available facts and current laws and regulations. Accordingly, it is likely that adjustments to the estimated liabilities will be necessary as additional information becomes available. Short-term environmental liabilities and settlements are recorded inaccrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $0.1 million and $0.5 million at March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Long-term environmental liabilities are recorded indeferred credits and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $11.5 million at March 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Everett, Washington WADOE Action– In 2007, we were identified by the WADOE as a PLP with respect to our former manufacturing site in Everett, Washington. In 2008, we entered into an Agreed Order with the WADOE to assess historic environmental contamination and remediation feasibility at the site. As part of the order, we agreed to develop a CAP, arising from the feasibility assessment. In December 2020, we submitted to the WADOE a draft feasibility assessment with an array of remedial alternatives, which we considered substantially complete. During 2021, several comment rounds were completed as well as the identification of the Port of Everett and W&W Everett Investment LLC as additional PLPs, with respect to this matter with each PLP being jointly and severally liable for the cleanup costs. The WADOE received the final feasibility assessment on December 31, 2021, containing various remedial alternatives with its preferred remedial alternatives totaling $23.4 million. Based on this study, we have determined our range of possible outcomes to be $11.8 million to $33.4 million. On March 1, 2022, we delivered a draft CAP consistent with the preferred alternatives which was approved by WADOE in August 2023. The existing Agreed Order of 2008 was also modified with WADOE in July 2023 to support the development of the associated CAP investigation, sampling and design components. We have made provisions within our financial statements within the range of possible outcomes; however, the contents and cost of the final CAP and allocation of the responsibility between the identified PLPs could vary materially from our estimates.

Towanda, Pennsylvania Consent Order– In December 2020, we entered into a COA with the PaDEP to remove a pile of wood fiber waste from our site in Towanda, Pennsylvania, which we acquired in connection with our acquisition of CMI in 2012, by using it as fuel for a boiler at that site. The COA replaced a 2018 Consent Decree between the Company and PaDEP. Under the COA, we are required to achieve certain periodic removal objectives and ultimately remove the entire pile by August 31, 2025. As of March 30, 2024 and December, 31, 2023 there was $1.4 million, respectively in bonds posted in connection with these obligations. If we are unable to remove this pile by August 31, 2025, then the bonds will be forfeited, and we may be subject to penalties by PaDEP. We currently anticipate meeting all applicable removal deadlines; however, if our operations should change, additional alternatives would be evaluated to meet the prescribed removal timeline.

On May 1, 2024, JELD-WEN, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. (the “Company”), filed a motion to modify the Amended Final Judgment (the “Motion”) with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division (the “Court”) to vacate all court orders requiring divestiture of the Company’s Towanda operations and certain related assets. In light of changed industry and market factors and conditions, the Company believes that the divestiture of Towanda is no longer warranted and is asking the Court for relief from that ruling. There is no assurance that the Motion will be granted and the divestiture requirement will be vacated. There can also be no guarantee that the divestiture will be consummated if the divestiture requirement is not ultimately vacated.
