References to “Fortune Brands,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole, unless the context otherwise requires. The Company is a leading home and security products company with a portfolio of leading branded products used for residential home repair, remodeling, new construction and security applications. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018, the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are unaudited. During the first quarter of 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-07 “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”. As a result, we revised our previously reported condensed consolidated financial statements as of the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017. See Note 12, “Defined Benefit Plans,” for further discussion. 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. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not contain certain information included in our annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes. The December 31, 2017 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 31, 2017. In September 2018, we acquired 100% of membership interests of Fiber Composites LLC (“Fiberon”), a leading U.S. manufacturer of outdoor performance materials used in decking, railing and fencing products for a total purchase price of approximately $470.0 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The acquisition of Fiberon provides category expansion and product extension opportunities into the outdoor living space for our Doors & Security segment. Net sales and operating income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were not material to the Company. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit and term loan facilities. The results of operations are included in the Doors & Security segment. In July 2018, we publicly announced an internal reorganization to combine our Doors & Security segments under common leadership to drive innovation, accelerate product development, and enhance investments and business processes. In conjunction with the reorganization, we changed how our chief operating decision maker evaluates and allocates the resources for the combined business. Reporting for the new Doors & Security segment began in the third quarter of 2018 and historical financial segment information has been restated to conform to the new segment presentation. In October 2017, we acquired Victoria + Albert, a UK-based premium brand of standalone bathtubs, sinks, tub fillers, faucets and other accessories. In July 2017, we acquired Shaws Since1897 Limited (“Shaws”), a UK-based luxury plumbing products company that specializes in manufacturing and selling fireclay sinks and selling brassware and accessories. The financial results of both of the acquired companies were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018, and statements of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
