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 September 30, 2021, the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and equity for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 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 statements of comprehensive income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2021, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021. The results of operations are included in the Plumbing segment.

In December 2020, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Larson Manufacturing (“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. We financed the transaction with borrowings under our existing credit facilities. The financial results of Larson were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2021 the condensed consolidated statement of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 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.

2. | Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, which is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes and improve consistency in application. ASU 2019-12 amends certain elements of income tax accounting, including but not limited to intraperiod tax allocations, step-ups in tax basis of goodwill, and calculating taxes on year-to-date losses in interim periods. The guidance was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

Effects of Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides relief from accounting analysis and impacts that may otherwise be required for modifications to agreements necessitated by reference rate reform. It also provides optional expedients to enable the continuance of hedge accounting where certain hedging relationships are impacted by reference rate reform. This optional guidance is effective immediately, and available to be used through December 31, 2022. We are assessing the impact that reference rate reform and the related adoption of this guidance may have on our financial statements.

4. | Acquisitions and Dispositions

Flo Technologies

In 2018 our Plumbing segment entered into a strategic partnership with, and acquired non-controlling equity interests in, 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. As part of this agreement, we acquired a majority of Flo’s outstanding shares during 2020 and entered into a forward contract to purchase all remaining shares of Flo during the first quarter of 2022 for a price based on a multiple of Flo’s 2021 sales and adjusted earnings before interest and taxes.

During 2020, we applied the equity method of accounting to our investment in Flo as the minority shareholders had substantive participating rights which precluded consolidation in our results of operations and statements of financial position and cash flows. Immediately prior to applying the equity method of accounting, we recognized a non-cash gain of $6.6 million within other income during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 related to the remeasurement of our previously existing investment in Flo.

The minority shareholders’ substantive participating rights expired on January 1, 2021, at which time we obtained control of, and began consolidating, Flo in our results of operations and statements of financial positions and cash flows. Immediately prior to consolidating Flo, we recognized a non-cash loss of $4.5 million within other expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 related to the remeasurement of our previously existing investment in Flo. The fair value allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of January 1, 2021 was $87.8 million, net of cash acquired of $9.7 million. Flo’s net sales and operating income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2021 were not material to the Company.

Larson Manufacturing

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. We financed the transaction with borrowings under our existing credit facility. The financial results of Larson were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. The results of operations are included in the Outdoors & Security segment. We incurred $4.5 million of Larson acquisition-related transaction costs in the year ended December 31, 2020. The goodwill expected to be deductible for income tax purposes is approximately $290 million, subject to the finalization of the purchase price allocation.

7

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition.

(In millions) |
Accounts receivable |  | $ | 42.3 |
Inventories |  |  | 51.1 |
Property, plant and equipment |  |  | 66.1 |
Goodwill |  |  | 305.8 |
Identifiable intangible assets |  |  | 313.0 |
Operating lease assets |  |  | 6.1 |
Other assets |  |  | 3.7 |
Total assets |  |  | 788.1 |
Accounts payable |  |  | 6.5 |
Other current liabilities and accruals |  |  | 31.5 |
Other non-current liabilities |  |  | 32.6 |
Net assets acquired(a) |  | $ | 717.5 |

(a) Net assets exclude $0.4 million of cash transferred to the Company as the result of the Larson acquisition.

The preceding purchase price allocation has been determined provisionally and is subject to revision as additional information about the fair value of individual assets and liabilities becomes available. We apply significant judgement in determining the estimates and assumptions used to determine the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets, including forecasted revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, percentage of revenue attributable to the tradename, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rate, market-participant discount rates and the assumed royalty rates. The Company is in the process of finalizing valuations of certain tangible and intangible assets, including property, plant and equipment. The provisional measurement of property, plant and equipment and goodwill is subject to change. Any change in the acquisition date fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill.

Goodwill includes expected sales and cost synergies. The goodwill is included in our Outdoors & Security segment. Larson’s identifiable intangible assets consist of a finite-lived customer relationships asset of $168.0 million, an indefinite-lived tradename of $111.0 million and a finite-lived proprietary technology asset of $34.0 million. The useful life of the customer relationship intangible asset is estimated to be 13 years. The Larson tradename has been assigned an indefinite life as we currently anticipate that this tradename will contribute cash flows to the Company indefinitely. The useful life of the proprietary technology intangible asset is estimated to be 7 years. Customer and contractual relationships and proprietary technology are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.

5. | Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

We had goodwill of $2,466.6 million and $2,394.8 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The change in the net carrying amount of goodwill by segment was as follows:

(In millions) |  | Plumbing |  |  | Outdoors & Security |  |  | Cabinets |  |  | Total Goodwill |

Acquisition-related adjustments |  |  | 65.5 |  |  |  | 4.9 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 70.4 |
Goodwill at September 30, 2021(a) |  | $ | 816.4 |  |  | $ | 723.7 |  |  | $ | 926.5 |  |  | $ | 2,466.6 |

| (a) | Net of accumulated impairment losses of $399.5 million in the Outdoors & Security segment.

We had net identifiable intangible assets of $1,401.3 million and $1,420.3 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The $30.5 million increase in gross identifiable intangible assets was primarily due to the consolidation of Flo and foreign translation adjustments.

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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, no events or circumstances occurred that would have required us to perform interim impairment tests of goodwill or indefinite-lived tradenames.

During the second quarter of 2020, we recognized a pre-tax charge of $13.0 million related to a tradename in our Plumbing segment and the remaining carrying value of this tradename is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 30 years. This charge was primarily due to extended closures of luxury plumbing showrooms associated with the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic that led to lower than expected sales related to an indefinite-lived tradename combined with the updated financial outlook compared to previous forecasts and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sales and profitability.

In the first quarter of 2020, we recognized an impairment charge of $9.5 million related to an indefinite-lived tradename in our Cabinets segment. This charge was primarily the result of lower expected sales of custom cabinetry products related to the impact of COVID-19. As of September 30, 2021, the carrying value of this tradename was $29.1 million.

The fair values of these tradenames were measured using the relief-from-royalty approach, which estimates the present value of royalty income that could be hypothetically earned by licensing the tradename to a third party over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include forecasted revenue growth rates for the tradename, assumed royalty rate, and a market-participant discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with the tradenames’ future revenues and profitability. We selected the assumptions used in the financial forecasts using historical data, supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates, and management plans. These assumptions represent Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy (refer to Note 8).

The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the tradenames impaired during the year ended December 31, 2020 were as follows:

|  | 2020 |
Unobservable Input |  | Minimum |  |  | Maximum |  |  | Weighted Average(a) |
Discount rate |  |  | 14.8 | % |  |  | 15.8 | % |  |  | 15.1 | %
Royalty rate(b) |  |  | 4.0 | % |  |  | 5.0 | % |  |  | 4.3 | %
Long-term revenue growth rate(c) |  |  | 1.0 | % |  |  | 3.0 | % |  |  | 1.6 | %

(a) | Weighted by relative fair value of the impaired tradenames.

(b) | Represents estimated percentage of sales a market-participant would pay to license the impaired tradenames.

(c) | Selected long-term revenue growth rate within 10-year projection period of the impaired tradenames.

As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of four Cabinets' tradenames exceeded their carrying values of $180.6 million by less than 30%. A reduction in the estimated fair value of the tradenames in our Cabinets segment could trigger additional impairment charges in

future periods. Events or circumstances that could have a potential negative effect on the estimated fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived tradenames include: lower than forecasted revenues, more severe impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic than currently expected, including due to resurgences of the virus, actual new construction and repair and remodel growth rates that fall below our assumptions, actions of key customers, increases in discount rates, continued economic uncertainty, higher levels of unemployment, weak consumer confidence, lower levels of discretionary consumer spending, a decrease in royalty rates and a decline in the trading price of our common stock. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived assets.

6. | External Debt and Financing Arrangements

Unsecured Senior Notes

At September 30, 2021, the Company had aggregate outstanding notes in the amount of $1.8 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Total Senior Notes | $ | 1,800.0 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 1,789.1 |  |  | $ | 1,787.2 |

Credit Facilities

In April 2020, the Company entered into a 364-day supplemental, $400 million revolving credit facility (the “2020 Revolving Credit Agreement”). This supplemental facility was never utilized by the Company prior to its expiration in April 2021.

In September 2019, the Company entered into a second amended and restated $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “2019 Revolving Credit Agreement”), and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes. The terms and conditions of the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement, including the total commitment amount, essentially remained the same as under the previous credit agreement, except that the maturity date was extended to September 2024. Interest rates under the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement are variable based on LIBOR at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s long-term credit rating and can range from LIBOR + 0.91% to LIBOR + 1.4%. On September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our outstanding borrowings under this facility were $840.0 million and $785.0 million, respectively. This facility is included in Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2021, 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 $17.5 million in aggregate, of which there were no outstanding balances as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

7. | 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.

Our primary foreign currency hedge contracts pertain to the Canadian dollar, the British pound, the Mexican peso and the Chinese yuan. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all foreign currency derivative hedges outstanding at September 30, 2021 was $463.0 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2021, we estimate that $2.7 million of net derivative gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2021 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.

The fair values of derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:

8.Fair Value Measurements

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 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 or no 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 certain pension assets.

The carrying value and fair value of debt as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:

(In millions) |  | September 30, 2021 |  |  | December 31, 2020 |
|  | Carrying Value |  |  | Fair Value |  |  | Carrying Value |  |  | Fair Value |
Notes, net of underwriting commissions, price discounts and debt issuance costs |  | $ | 1,789.1 |  |  | $ | 1,933.8 |  |  | $ | 1,787.2 |  |  | $ | 1,994.9 |

Total debt |  | $ | 2,629.1 |  |  | $ | 2,773.8 |  |  | $ | 2,572.2 |  |  | $ | 2,779.9 |

The estimated fair value of our revolving credit facility is determined primarily using broker quotes, which are level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of our Notes is determined by using quoted market prices of our debt securities, which are Level 1 inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:

| (a) | “Other Charges” represent charges directly related to restructuring initiatives that cannot be reported as restructuring under GAAP. Such costs may include losses on disposal of inventories, trade receivables allowances from exiting product lines, accelerated depreciation resulting from the closure of facilities and gains or losses on the sale of previously closed facilities.

Restructuring and other charges in the first nine months of 2021 largely related to severance costs associated with the relocation of manufacturing facilities within our Outdoors & Security and Cabinets segments. Restructuring and other charges in the first nine months of 2020 largely related to headcount actions associated with COVID-19-related reductions in demand across all segments and costs associated with changes in our manufacturing processes within our Plumbing segment.

Such costs may include losses on disposal of inventories, trade receivables allowances from exiting product lines, accelerated depreciation resulting from the closure of facilities and gains or losses on the sale of previously closed facilities.

Restructuring and other charges in the third quarter of 2021 largely related to severance costs associated with headcount actions within our Outdoors & Security and Cabinets segments. Restructuring and other charges in the third quarter of 2020 largely related to headcount actions associated with COVID-19-related reductions in demand across all segments and other costs associated with changes in our manufacturing processes within our Plumbing segment, partially offset by a credit related to severance costs due to the cancellation of the previously approved restructuring action within our Cabinets segment.

17.Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

We are defendants in lawsuits associated with the normal conduct of our businesses and operations. 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

Compliance with federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, did not have a material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of Fortune Brands during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. 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. Uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, technology and information related to individual sites make it difficult to develop estimates of environmental remediation exposures. 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.

Item 2.FORTUNE BRANDS HOME & SECURITY, INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included in this report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), regarding our business, operations or financial condition in addition to statements regarding our general business strategies, market potential, future financial performance, the potential of our brands and other matters, expected capital spending, expected pension contributions, the anticipated impact of supply chain, labor and transportation constraints, a volatile global supply chain environment as well as increased rates of inflation, unfavorable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the ongoing costs of tariffs, the anticipated impact of recently issued accounting standards on our financial statements, planned business strategies, anticipated market potential, future financial performance, impact of acquisitions and other matters including the expected or potential impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business and future financial results, available at the time this report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to: (i) our reliance on the North American home improvement, repair and remodel and new home construction activity levels, and the North American and global economies generally, (ii) the competitive nature of consumer and trade brand businesses, (iii) our ability to develop new products or processes and improve existing products and processes, (iv) our reliance on key customers and suppliers, including wholesale distributors and dealers, (v) risks associated with our ability to improve organizational productivity and global supply chain efficiency and flexibility, (vi) risks associated with global commodity and energy availability and price volatility, as well as the possibility of sustained inflation, (vii) risks associated with doing business globally, including changes in trade-related tariffs and risks with uncertain trade environments, (viii) changes in government and industry regulatory standards, (ix) risks associated with the disruption of operations, (x) our inability to obtain raw materials and finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner, (xi) impairments in the carrying value of goodwill or other acquired intangible assets, (xii) delays or outages in our information technology system or computer networks, (xiii) risk of increases in our defined benefit-related costs and funding requirements, (xiv) the uncertainties relating to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, financial performance and operating results, (xv) risks associated with entering into potential strategic acquisitions and integrating acquired property, (xvi) future tax law changes or the interpretation of existing tax laws, (xvii) our ability to secure and protect our intellectual property rights, (xviii) our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and other labor constraints, (xix) potential liabilities and costs from claims and litigation, and (xx) our ability to access the capital markets on terms acceptable to us. These and other factors are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. We undertake no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any such obligation to, update or clarify any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, new information or changes to future results over time or otherwise, except as required by law.

OVERVIEW

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.

We believe that the Company has certain competitive advantages including market-leading brands, a diversified mix of channels, lean and flexible supply chains, a decentralized business model and a strong capital structure, as well as a tradition of strong innovation and customer service. We believe these long-held strengths will enable us to compete effectively and continue to focus on outperforming our markets in growth, profitability and returns in order to drive increased shareholder value. We believe the Company’s track record reflects the long-term attractiveness and potential of the categories we serve and our leading brands.

We believe long-term our most attractive opportunities are to invest in profitable organic growth initiatives. We also believe that we have the potential to generate additional growth from leveraging our cash flow and balance sheet strength by pursuing accretive strategic acquisitions, non-controlling equity investments and joint ventures, and by returning cash to shareholders through a combination of dividends and share repurchases as explained in further detail under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

The U.S. market for our products primarily consists of spending on both new home construction and repair and remodel activities within existing homes, with a substantial majority of the markets we serve consisting of repair and remodel spending. We believe the market for our home products in the U.S. will continue to grow due to demographics that support long-term sustainable housing growth as well as an underbuilt housing supply and an aged housing stock requiring repair and remodel investments. We believe that these market conditions will result in even more elongated demand for our products. Growth in the U.S. market for our products will largely depend on consumer confidence, employment, home prices, stable mortgage rates and credit availability.

We have been and may continue to be impacted by near-term supply, labor and freight constraints, a volatile global supply chain environment, as well as increased rates of inflation, unfavorable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the ongoing costs of tariffs. We continue to manage these challenges and are diligently working to offset potential unfavorable impacts of these items through continuous productivity improvement initiatives and price increases.

In January 2021, we obtained control of and began consolidating Flo Technologies, Inc. (“Flo”) in our Plumbing segment results. Flo is a U.S. manufacturer of comprehensive water monitoring and shut-off systems with leak detection technologies. During 2020, we applied the equity method of accounting to our investment in Flo as the minority shareholders had substantive participating rights which precluded consolidation. The fair value allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of January 1, 2021 was $87.8 million, net of cash acquired of $9.7 million.

In December 2020, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Larson Manufacturing, the North American market leading brand of storm, screen and security doors (“Larson”). 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. The results of operations are included in the Outdoors & Security segment.

Net sales increased by $1,262.8 million, or 28.5%, due to higher sales volume including the favorable comparison to 2020 when our volumes were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the benefit from the Larson acquisition ($316.0 million), price increases to help mitigate the impact of cumulative commodity and transportation cost increases and favorable mix, as well as favorable foreign exchange of approximately $51 million. These benefits were partially offset by higher promotion and rebate costs.

Cost of products sold

Cost of products sold increased by $763.3 million, or 26.6%, due to higher net sales, the impact of the Larson acquisition including higher amortization of the acquisition related inventory fair value adjustment ($3.4 million in 2021), commodity cost inflation, product mix, labor inflation, and higher tariffs, partially offset by the benefit from manufacturing productivity improvements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $247.9 million, or 27.0%, due to higher employee-related, transportation and advertising costs.

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization of intangible assets increased by $17.4 million primarily due to the Larson acquisition in our Outdoors & Security segment and the 2021 consolidation of Flo in our Plumbing segment.

Asset impairment charges

Asset impairment charges of $22.5 million in 2020 related to indefinite-lived tradenames within our Plumbing and Cabinets segments.

Restructuring charges

Restructuring charges of $11.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 largely related to severance costs associated with the relocation of manufacturing facilities within our Outdoors & Security and Cabinets segments. Restructuring charges of $16.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 largely related to headcount actions associated with COVID-19-related reductions in demand across all segments and costs associated with changes in our manufacturing process within our Plumbing segment.

23

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Operating income

Operating income increased by $261.7 million, or 46.1%, primarily due to higher net sales, the benefit from the Larson acquisition, manufacturing productivity improvements and the absence of the 2020 asset impairment charges, as well as favorable foreign exchange of approximately $16 million. These benefits were partially offset by higher employee-related, commodity, transportation, and advertising costs, higher amortization of intangible assets, higher promotion and rebate costs and higher tariffs.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $1.2 million to $63.2 million due to lower average interest rates, partially offset by higher average borrowings.

Other expense (income), net

Other expense, net, of $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, included foreign currency adjustments, net of hedges, and a non-cash loss of $4.5 million related to the remeasurement of our investment in Flo immediately prior to consolidation, partially offset by defined benefit plan and interest income. Other income, net was $13.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to gains of $11.0 million related to our January 2020 investment in Flo.

Income taxes

The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 22.0% and 23.5%, respectively. The effective income tax rate in 2021 was favorably impacted by a benefit related to decreases in uncertain tax positions and a benefit related to share-based compensation.

Net income attributable to Fortune Brands

Net income attributable to Fortune Brands was $597.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $389.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher operating income, lower equity in losses of affiliate and lower interest expense, partly offset by higher income tax expenses and higher other expense.

Results By Segment

Plumbing

Net sales increased by $493.2 million, or 31.5%, due to higher sales volume across all brands and markets, including showroom customers whose locations were negatively impacted in 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic, and price increases to help mitigate the impact of cumulative commodity and transportation cost increases, as well as favorable foreign exchange of approximately $46 million. These benefits were partially offset by higher sales rebate costs.

Operating income increased by $152.7 million, or 46.2%, due to higher net sales, the absence of the 2020 asset impairment charge ($13.0 million), the benefit from manufacturing productivity improvements and favorable mix, as well as favorable foreign exchange of approximately $17 million. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of higher employee-related, advertising, freight, tariffs, commodity and rebate costs.

Outdoors & Security

Net sales increased by $472.7 million, or 44.9%, due to the benefit from the Larson acquisition ($316.0 million), higher sales volume including the favorable comparison to 2020 when our volumes were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, price increases to help mitigate the impact of cumulative commodity and transportation cost increases, favorable product mix and lower rebates due to timing of sales in 2021 versus prior year period, as well as favorable foreign exchange of approximately $1 million.

Operating income increased by $68.2 million, or 47.5%, due to higher net sales, the benefit from the Larson acquisition and manufacturing productivity improvements. These benefits were partially offset by commodity cost inflation, higher freight and employee-related costs and higher restructuring charges, as well as unfavorable foreign exchange of approximately $1 million.

Cabinets

Net sales increased by $296.9 million, or 16.4%, due to higher sales volume in both our make-to-order and stock products, including the favorable comparison to 2020 when our volumes were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, favorable mix and price increases to help mitigate the impact of cumulative commodity and transportation cost increases, as well as favorable foreign exchange of approximately $4 million.

24

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Operating income increased by $51.1 million, or 31.3%, due to higher net sales, the benefit from manufacturing productivity improvements, the absence of the 2020 asset impairment charge ($9.5 million) and lower tariff, advertising and restructuring costs. These factors were partly offset by higher freight costs, commodity cost inflation and higher employee-related costs.

Corporate

Corporate expenses increased by $10.3 million, or 14.9%, due to higher employee-related and consulting costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $71.9 million, or 21.9%, due to higher transportation, advertising and employee-related costs.

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization of intangible assets increased by $5.4 million primarily due to the Larson acquisition in our Outdoors & Security segment and the 2021 consolidation of Flo in our Plumbing segment.

Restructuring charges

Restructuring charges of $3.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 largely related to severance costs associated with headcount actions within our Outdoors & Security and Cabinets segments. Restructuring charges of $1.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 largely related to headcount actions associated with COVID-19-related reductions in demand across all segments and other costs associated with changes in our manufacturing process within our Plumbing segment, partially offset by a credit related to severance costs and the cancellation of a previously approved restructuring action in our Cabinets segment.

25

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Operating income

Operating income increased by $46.4 million, or 19.3%, primarily due to higher net sales, the benefit from the Larson acquisition, manufacturing productivity improvements and favorable mix, as well as favorable foreign exchange of approximately $5 million. These benefits were partially offset by higher commodity, transportation, employee-related and advertising costs, higher amortization of intangible assets and higher tariff costs.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $0.5 million to $20.6 million due to higher average borrowings, partially offset by lower average interest rates.

Other income, net

Other income, net was $1.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $2.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in other income, net is primarily due unfavorable foreign currency adjustments, net of hedges, partially offset by higher defined benefit income in the quarter ($1.4 million increase).

Income taxes

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were 24.4% and 24.3%, respectively.

Net income attributable to Fortune Brands

Net income attributable to Fortune Brands was $202.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $164.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher operating income and lower equity in losses of affiliate, partly offset by higher income tax expenses, lower other income and higher interest expense.

Results By Segment

Plumbing

Net sales increased by $150.8 million, or 25.5%, due to higher sales volume across all brands and markets, price increases to help mitigate the impact of cumulative commodity and transportation cost increases and lower sales rebate costs due to timing of sales in 2021 versus prior year period, as well as favorable foreign exchange of approximately $15 million.

Operating income increased by $49.9 million, or 42.8%, due to higher net sales, favorable mix, lower restructuring costs and the benefit from manufacturing productivity improvements, as well as favorable foreign exchange of approximately $6 million. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of higher employee-related costs, commodity cost inflation, advertising costs, tariffs, and freight costs.

Outdoors & Security

Net sales increased by $121.7 million, or 29.9%, due to the benefit from the Larson acquisition ($99.1 million) and price increases to help mitigate the impact of cumulative commodity and transportation cost increases. These benefits were partially offset by unfavorable product mix due to material availability.

Operating income decreased by $14.9 million, or 18.1%, due to higher freight costs, commodity cost inflation and higher restructuring costs. These factors were partly offset by higher net sales, the benefit from manufacturing productivity improvements and lower tariff costs.

Corporate

Corporate expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 8.7%, due to higher consulting and employee-related costs.

26

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, cash borrowed under our credit facilities and cash from debt issuances in the capital markets. Our operating income is generated by our subsidiaries. We believe our operating cash flows, including funds available under our credit facilities and access to capital markets, provide sufficient liquidity to support the Company’s liquidity and financing needs, which are to support working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures and service indebtedness, as well as to finance acquisitions, repurchase shares of our common stock and pay dividends to stockholders, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

Our cash flows from operations, borrowing availability and overall liquidity are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2020 entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” In addition, we cannot predict whether or when we may enter into acquisitions, joint ventures or dispositions, pay dividends, or what impact any such transactions could have on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, whether as a result of the issuance of debt or equity securities, or otherwise.

Long-Term Debt

At September 30, 2021, the Company had aggregate outstanding notes in the amount of $1.8 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Net Carrying Value |
(in millions) | Principal Amount |  |  | Issuance Date |  | Maturity Date |  | September 30, 2021 |  |  | December 31, 2020 |
4.000% Senior Notes | $ | 500.0 |  |  | June 2015 |  | June 2025 |  | $ | 497.2 |  |  | $ | 496.6 |
4.000% Senior Notes (the "2018 Notes") |  | 600.0 |  |  | September 2018 |  | September 2023 |  |  | 597.9 |  |  |  | 597.1 |
3.250% Senior Notes (the "2019 Notes") |  | 700.0 |  |  | September 2019 |  | September 2029 |  |  | 694.0 |  |  |  | 693.5 |
Total Senior Notes | $ | 1,800.0 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 1,789.1 |  |  | $ | 1,787.2 |

Credit Facilities

In April 2020, the Company entered into a 364-day, supplemental $400 million revolving credit facility (the “2020 Revolving Credit Agreement”). This supplemental facility was never utilized by the Company prior to its expiration in April 2021.

In September 2019, the Company entered into a second amended and restated $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “2019 Revolving Credit Agreement”), and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes. The terms and conditions of the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement, including the total commitment amount, essentially remained the same as under the previous credit agreement, except that the maturity date was extended to September 2024. Interest rates under the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement are variable based on LIBOR at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s long-term credit rating and can range from LIBOR + 0.91% to LIBOR + 1.4%. On September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 our outstanding borrowings under this facility were $840.0 million and $785.0 million, respectively. This facility is included in long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.

Cash and Seasonality

On September 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $460.7 million, of which $404.1 million was held at non-U.S. subsidiaries. We manage our global cash requirements considering (i) available funds among the subsidiaries through which we conduct business, (ii) the geographic location of our liquidity needs, and (iii) the cost to access international cash balances. The repatriation of non-U.S. cash balances from certain subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences as we may be required to pay and record tax expense on those funds that are repatriated.

Our operating cash flows are significantly impacted by the seasonality of our business. We typically generate most of our operating cash flow in the third and fourth quarters of each year. We use operating cash in the first quarter of the year.

We believe that our current cash position, cash flow generated from operations, and amounts available under our revolving credit facility should be sufficient for our operating requirements and enable us to fund our capital expenditures, dividend payments, and any required long-term debt payments. In addition, we believe that we have the ability to obtain alternative sources of financing if required.

27

Share Repurchase s and Dividends

In the first nine months of 2021, we repurchased 2.9 million shares of our outstanding common stock under the Company’s 2020 share repurchase program for $270.1 million. On July 23, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $400 million of shares of our common stock over the two years ending July 23, 2023. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s total remaining share repurchase authorization under its 2020 and 2021 share repurchase programs was approximately $592.4 million. The share repurchase programs do not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

In the first nine months of 2021, we paid dividends in the amount of $107.9 million to the Company’s shareholders. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate dividend payment opportunities on a quarterly basis. There can be no assurance as to when and if future dividends will be paid, and at what level, because the payment of dividends is dependent on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. There are no restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Fortune Brands.

Acquisitions

We periodically review our portfolio of brands and evaluate potential strategic transactions and other capital initiatives to increase shareholder value.

In January 2021, we obtained control of and began consolidating Flo in our Plumbing segment results. Flo is a U.S. manufacturer of comprehensive water monitoring and shut-off systems with leak detection technologies. During 2020, we applied the equity method of accounting to our investment in Flo as the minority shareholders had substantive participating rights which precluded consolidation. The fair value allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of January 1, 2021 was $87.8 million, net of cash acquired of $9.7 million.

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. The results of operations are included in the Outdoors & Security segment.

Cash Flows

Below is a summary of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

(In millions) |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
|  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Net cash provided by operating activities |  | $ | 430.8 |  |  | $ | 506.8 |
Net cash used in investing activities |  |  | (106.1 | ) |  |  | (124.1 | )
Net cash used in financing activities |  |  | (285.1 | ) |  |  | (308.8 | )
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash |  |  | 1.0 |  |  |  | 1.9 |
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 40.6 |  |  | $ | 75.8 |

Net cash provided by operating activities was $430.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $506.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in cash provided of $76.0 million was primarily due to higher increases in accounts receivable associated with our sales growth, and our planned increase in inventory to mitigate the impact of an uncertain and volatile global supply chain environment. These factors were partially offset by higher accounts payable and higher net income.

Net cash used in investing activities was $106.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $124.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in cash used of $18.0 million in 2021 was primarily due to the acquisition of additional shares of Flo in January and April 2020 ($59.4 million) and the cash acquired during the consolidation of Flo in January 2021, partially offset by higher capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $285.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to cash used in financing activities of $308.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in cash used of $23.7 million was primarily due to higher net borrowings in 2021 compared to 2020 ($155.0 million increase), partially offset by higher share repurchases in 2021 compared to 2020 ($102.9 million increase), and $23.4 decrease in the proceeds from the exercise of stock options and higher dividends to shareholders ($8.0 million increase).

28

Pension Plans

Subsidiaries of Fortune Brands sponsor their respective defined benefit pension plans that are funded by a portfolio of investments maintained within our benefit plan trust. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of our total pension plan assets was $784.9 million, representing 84% of the accumulated benefit obligation liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we made pension contributions of approximately $21 million. For the foreseeable future, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet the minimum funding that may be required by the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

Foreign Exchange

We have operations in various foreign countries, principally Canada, China, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, Japan and South Africa. Therefore, changes in the value of the related currencies affect our financial statements when translated into U.S. dollars.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The adoption of recent accounting standards, as discussed in Note 2, “Recently Issued Accounting Standards,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements, has not had and is not expected to have a significant impact on our revenue, earnings or liquidity.

Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

There have been no material changes in the information provided in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

| (a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

| (b) | Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company is in the process of reviewing the internal control structure of Larson and Flo and, if necessary, will make the appropriate changes as we incorporate our controls and procedures into these recently acquired businesses.

29

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

| (a) | Litigation.

We are defendants in lawsuits associated with the normal conduct of our businesses and operations. 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.

| (b) | Environmental Matters.

Compliance with federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, did not have a material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of Fortune Brands during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. 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. Uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, technology and information related to individual sites make it difficult to develop estimates of environmental remediation exposures. 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.

Item 1A. | RISK FACTORS.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
