Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | FORTUNE BRANDS HOME & SECURITY, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
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 March 31, 2021, the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and equity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 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. In 2018 our Plumbing segment entered into a strategic partnership with, and acquired non-controlling equity interests in, Flo Technologies, Inc. (“Flo”), a U.S. manufacturer of comprehensive water monitoring and shut-off systems with leak detection technologies. In January 2020, we entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining outstanding shares of Flo in a multi-phase transaction. In January 2021, upon the expiration of the minority shareholders’ substantive participating rights, we began to consolidate the financial results of Flo into the Company’s financial results. The financial results of Flo are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. The results of operations are included in the Plumbing segment. Our Doors & Security segment was renamed “Outdoors & Security” to better align with the segment’s strategic focus on the outdoor living space and to better represent the brands within the segment, including the newly acquired Larson Manufacturing (“Larson”). The Outdoors & Security segment name change had no impact on the Company’s previously reported historical financial position, results of operations, cash flow or segment level results. In December 2020, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Larson, the North American market leading brand of storm, screen and security doors. Larson also sells related outdoor living products including retractable screens and porch windows. The Company completed the acquisition for a total purchase price, excluding expected tax benefits, of approximately $717.5 million, net of cash acquired and final working capital adjustments of $2.3 million paid during the three months ended March 31, 2021. We financed the transaction with borrowings under our existing credit facilities. The financial results of Larson were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The results of operations are included in the Outdoors & Security segment. 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, 2020 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, 2020.
