Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. As such, they should be read together with Griffon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, which provides a more complete explanation of Griffon’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business, properties and other matters. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of interim results. Griffon’s businesses are seasonal; for this and other reasons, the financial results of the Company for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information at September 30, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statements included in Griffon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Griffon and all subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in prior years may have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates may be adjusted due to changes in economic, industry or customer financial conditions, as well as changes in technology or demand. Significant estimates include expected loss allowances for credit losses and returns, net realizable value of inventories, restructuring reserves, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, assumptions associated with pension benefit obligations and income or

expenses, useful lives associated with depreciation and amortization of intangible and fixed assets, warranty reserves, sales incentive accruals, assumptions associated with stock based compensation valuation, income taxes and tax valuation reserves, environmental reserves, legal reserves, insurance reserves, the valuation of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations and the accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions Griffon may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates.
NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The carrying values of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts and notes payable, and revolving credit and variable interest rate debt approximate fair value due to either the short-term nature of such instruments or the fact that the interest rate of the revolving credit and variable rate debt is based upon current market rates.
Applicable accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy requiring the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The accounting guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
•Level 1 inputs are measured and recorded at fair value based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
•Level 2 inputs include inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities.
•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
On March 31, 2025, the fair values of Griffon’s 2028 Senior Notes and Term Loan B facility approximated $950,406 and $453,000, respectively. Fair values were based upon quoted market prices (level 1 inputs).
Insurance contracts with values of $4,928 at March 31, 2025 are measured and recorded at fair value based upon quoted prices in active markets for similar assets (level 2 inputs) and are included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
In the normal course of business, Griffon’s operations are exposed to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to inventory purchases. To manage these risks, Griffon may enter into various derivative contracts such as foreign currency exchange contracts, including forwards and options. As of March 31, 2025, Griffon entered into several such contracts in order to lock into a foreign currency rate for planned settlements of trade liabilities payable in U.S. Dollars.
At March 31, 2025, Griffon had $31,000 of Australian Dollar contracts at a weighted average rate of $1.48 which qualified for hedge accounting (Level 2 inputs). These hedges were all deemed effective as cash flow hedges with gains and losses related to changes in fair value deferred and recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and Prepaid and other current assets, or Accrued liabilities, until settlement. Upon settlement, gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) in Cost of goods and services ("COGS"). AOCI included deferred gains of $2,124 ($1,487, net of tax) at March 31, 2025. Upon settlement, gains of $1,310 and $2,265 were recorded in COGS during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025. All contracts expire in 30 to 180 days.
At March 31, 2025, Griffon had $19,500 of Chinese Yuan contracts at a weighted average rate of $7.06 which qualified for hedge accounting (level 2 inputs). These hedges were all deemed effective as cash flow hedges with gains and losses related to changes in fair value deferred and recorded in AOCI and Prepaid and other current assets, or Accrued liabilities, until settlement. Upon settlement, gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive

Income (Loss) in COGS. AOCI included deferred losses of $458 ($334, net of tax) at March 31, 2025. Upon settlement, losses of $388 and $608 were recorded in COGS during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025. All contracts expire in 2 to 214 days.
At March 31, 2025, Griffon had $10,197 of Canadian Dollar contracts at a weighted average rate of $1.38. The contracts, which protect Canadian operations from currency fluctuations for U.S. Dollar based purchases, do not qualify for hedge accounting. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, fair value losses of $53 and gains of $189 were recorded to Other liabilities and to Other income for the outstanding contracts, based on similar contract values (level 2 inputs). Realized gains of $89 and $135 were recorded in Other income during the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 for all settled contracts. All contracts expire in 1 to 419 days.
NOTE 3 – REVENUE
The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a bundle of goods or services, to the customer, and is the unit of accounting. A contract with a customer is an agreement which both parties have approved, that creates enforceable rights and obligations, has commercial substance and with respect to which payment terms are identified and collectability is probable. Once the Company has entered into a contract or purchase order, it is evaluated to identify performance obligations. For each performance obligation, revenue is recognized when control of the promised products is transferred to the customer, or services are satisfied under the contract or purchase order, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services (the transaction price).
The Company’s performance obligations are recognized at a point in time related to the manufacture and sale of a broad range of products and components, and revenue is recognized when title, and risk and rewards of ownership, have transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment.
For a complete explanation of Griffon’s revenue accounting policies, this note should be read in conjunction with Griffon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024. See Note 13 - Reportable Segments for revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by end markets, segments and geographic location.
NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS
Griffon continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit within its portfolio or expand its portfolio into new product lines or adjacent markets. Griffon has completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as business combinations, in which assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill. The operating results of business acquisitions are included in Griffon’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
On July 1, 2024, Griffon announced that its subsidiary, The AMES Companies, Inc., ("AMES") expanded the scope of its Australian operations by acquiring substantially all of the assets of Pope, a leading Australian provider of residential watering products, from the Toro Company (NYSE:TTC) for a purchase price of approximately AUD 21,800 (approximately $14,500) in cash. The purchase price was preliminarily allocated to inventory of AUD 16,132 (approximately $10,752), property, plant and equipment, net of AUD 1,289 (approximately $859), accrued liabilities of AUD 1,194 (approximately $795), acquired intangibles, net of deferred taxes, of AUD 2,940 (approximately $1,960), and goodwill of AUD 2,640 (approximately $1,759), which was assigned to the CPP segment, and is not deductible for income tax purposes.

NOTE 7 – CREDIT LOSSES
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. Trade receivables are recorded at their stated amount, less allowances for discounts, credit losses and returns. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for trade receivables is primarily based on the aging method of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of its customers. The allowances represent estimated uncollectible receivables associated with potential customer defaults on contractual obligations (usually due to customers’ potential insolvency), discounts related to early payment of accounts receivables by customers and estimates for returns. The allowance for credit losses includes amounts for certain customers in which a risk of default has been specifically identified, as well as an amount for customer defaults, based on a formula, when it is determined the risk of some default is probable and estimable, but cannot yet be associated with specific customers. Allowance for discounts and returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue and the provision related to the allowance for credit losses is recorded in SG&A expenses.
The Company also considers current and expected future economic and market conditions when determining any estimate of credit losses. Generally, estimates used to determine the allowance are based on assessment of anticipated payment and all other historical, current and future information that is reasonably available. All accounts receivable amounts are expected to be collected in less than one year.
Based on a review of the Company's policies and procedures across all segments, including the aging of its trade receivables, recent write-off history and other factors related to future macroeconomic conditions, Griffon determined that its method to determine credit losses and the amount of its allowances for bad debts is in accordance with the accounting guidance for credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, in all material respects.
The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts, including provisions for expected credit losses that is deducted from gross accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected:

| Six months ended March 31,
| 2025 | 2024
Beginning Balance, October 1 | $ | 10,986 |  | $ | 11,264 |
Provision for expected credit losses | 499 |  | 904 |
Amounts written off charged against the allowance | (315) |  | (636) |
Other, primarily foreign currency translation | (15) |  | 35 |
Ending Balance, March 31 | $ | 11,155 |  | $ | 11,567 |

(a) During 2020, Griffon issued, at par, $1,000,000 of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”). Proceeds from the 2028 Senior Notes were used to redeem $1,000,000 of 5.25% Senior Notes due in 2022. In connection with the issuance and exchange of the 2028 Senior Notes, Griffon capitalized $16,448 of underwriting fees and other expenses incurred, which is being amortized over the term of such notes. During 2022, Griffon purchased $25,225 of 2028 Senior Notes in the open market at a weighted average discount of 91.82% of par, or $23,161. As of March 31, 2025, outstanding 2028 Senior Notes due totaled $974,775; interest is payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1.
The 2028 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Griffon guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries, and subject to certain covenants, limitations and restrictions. The 2028 Senior Notes were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") via an exchange offer. The fair value of the 2028 Senior Notes approximated $950,406 on March 31, 2025 based upon quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs). At March 31, 2025, $5,890 of underwriting fees and other expenses incurred remained to be amortized.
(b) On January 24, 2022, Griffon amended and restated its Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to provide for a new $800,000 Term Loan B facility, due January 24, 2029, in addition to the revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") provided for under the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan B facility was issued at 99.75% of par value. Since that time, Griffon prepaid $325,000 aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan B, which permanently reduced the outstanding balance. As of March 31, 2025, the Term Loan B outstanding balance was $453,000.
On June 26, 2024, Griffon further amended its Credit Agreement to favorably reprice the Term Loan B facility. The amendment reduced the margin above Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") by 0.25%, eliminated the credit spread adjustment and reduced the SOFR floor from 0.50% to 0%. In connection with the amendment, Griffon recognized a $1,700 loss on debt extinguishment primarily consisting of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount related to portions of the Term Loan B facility that were repaid and then reborrowed from new lenders. At March 31, 2025, $4,795 of costs incurred remained to be amortized.
The Term Loan B bears interest at the Term SOFR rate plus a spread of 2.00% (6.32% as of March 31, 2025). The Term Loan B facility continues to require nominal quarterly principal payments of $2,000, potential additional annual principal payments based on a percentage of excess cash flow and certain secured leverage thresholds and a final balloon payment due at maturity. Term Loan B borrowings may generally be repaid without penalty. Once repaid, Term Loan B borrowings may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan B facility is subject to the same affirmative and negative covenants that apply to the Revolver (as described below), but is not subject to any financial maintenance covenants. Term Loan B borrowings are secured by the same collateral that secures borrowings under the Revolver, on an equal and ratable basis. The fair value of the Term Loan B facility approximated $453,000 on March 31, 2025 based upon quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs).
On August 1, 2023, Griffon amended and restated the Credit Agreement to increase the maximum borrowing availability under the Revolver from $400,000 to $500,000 and extend the maturity date of the Revolver from March 22, 2025 to August 1, 2028. In the event the 2028 Senior Notes are not repaid, refinanced, or replaced prior to December 1, 2027, the Revolver will mature on December 1, 2027. The amendment also modified certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement, including increasing the letter of credit sub-facility under the Revolver from $100,000 to $125,000 and increasing the customary accordion feature from a minimum of $375,000 to a minimum of $500,000. The Revolver also includes a multi-currency sub-facility of $200,000.
Borrowings under the Revolver may be repaid and re-borrowed at any time. Interest is payable on borrowings at either a SOFR, Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") or base rate benchmark rate, plus an applicable margin, which adjusts based on financial performance. Griffon's SOFR loans accrue interest at Term SOFR plus a credit adjustment spread and a margin of 1.75% (6.17% at March 31, 2025) and base rate loans accrue interest at prime rate plus a margin of 0.75% (8.25% at March 31, 2025).
At March 31, 2025, under the Credit Agreement, there was $122,500 in outstanding borrowings on the Revolver; outstanding standby letters of credit were $12,990; and $364,510 was available, subject to certain loan covenants, for borrowing at that date.

(Unaudited)
The Revolver has certain financial maintenance tests including a maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum senior secured leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants place limits on Griffon's ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, incur liens, and make restricted payments and investments. Both the Revolver and Term Loan B borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Griffon’s material domestic subsidiaries and are secured, on a first priority basis, by substantially all domestic assets of the Company and the guarantors.
(c) In November 2012, Garant G.P. (“Garant”), a Griffon wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a CAD 15,000 revolving credit facility, which expired in December 2024. In January 2025, Garant entered into a new CAD 20,000 revolving credit facility that matures in January 2026 but is renewable upon mutual agreement with the lender. The new facility accrues interest at Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") plus a credit adjustment spread and a margin of 1.2% (4.27% as of March 31, 2025). At March 31, 2025 there was no balance outstanding under the facility with CAD 20,000 ($13,992 as of March 31, 2025) available for borrowing. The facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Garant. Garant is required to maintain a certain minimum equity and a minimum interest coverage ratio.
During 2023, Griffon Australia Holdings Pty Ltd and its Australian subsidiaries (collectively, "Griffon Australia") amended its AUD 15,000 receivable purchase facility to AUD 30,000. The receivable purchase facility was renewed as of March 2025 and now matures in March 2026, but is renewable upon mutual agreement with the lender. The receivable purchase facility accrues interest at Bank Bill Swap Rate plus 1.25% (5.35% at March 31, 2025). At March 31, 2025, there was no balance outstanding under the receivable purchase facility with AUD 30,000 ($18,918 as of March 31, 2025) available for borrowing. The receivable purchase facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Griffon Australia and its subsidiaries. Griffon Australia is required to maintain a certain minimum equity level.
(d) In February 2024, Griffon repaid in full a loan with the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority. The balance in other long-term debt consists primarily of finance leases.
At March 31, 2025, Griffon and its subsidiaries were in compliance with the terms and covenants of its credit and loan agreements.
NOTE 11 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND EQUITY COMPENSATION
During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid two quarterly cash dividends each for $0.18 per share each. During 2024, the Company paid four quarterly cash dividends each for $0.15 per share, totaling $0.60 per share.
The Company currently intends to pay dividends each quarter; however, payment of dividends is determined by the Board of Directors at its discretion based on various factors, and no assurance can be provided as to the payment of future dividends. Dividends paid on shares in Griffon's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) were used to offset ESOP compensation expense. For all dividends, a dividend payable is established for the holders of restricted shares; such dividends will be released upon vesting of the underlying restricted shares.
The ESOP was frozen as of September 30, 2024; this means that, for plan years after this date, no additional employees will become participants under the ESOP and no new voluntary contributions will be made to the ESOP. Prior to this date, the Company’s U.S. employees who were not members of a collective bargaining agreement and met certain eligibility requirements became participants in the ESOP. During the first quarter ended December 31, 2024 the final loan payment was made by the ESOP to the Company and compensation expense for the period was fully offset by dividends paid. As of December 31, 2024 there were 4,166,038 shares of common stock in the ESOP, all of which were allocated to participant accounts.
On May 7, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share, payable on June 18, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 30, 2025.

On January 29, 2016, shareholders approved the Griffon Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Original Incentive Plan") pursuant to which, among other things, awards of performance shares, performance units, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, deferred shares and other stock-based awards may be granted. On January 31, 2018, shareholders approved Amendment No. 1 to the Original Incentive Plan pursuant to which, among other things, 1,000,000 shares were added to the Original Incentive Plan; on January 30, 2020, shareholders approved Amendment No. 2 to the Original Incentive Plan, pursuant to which 1,700,000 shares were added to the Original Incentive Plan; on February 17, 2022, shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Incentive Plan”), which amended and restated the Original Incentive Plan and pursuant to which, among other things, 1,200,000 shares were added to the Original Incentive Plan; and on March 20, 2024, shareholders approved an amendment to add 2,600,000 shares to the Amended Incentive Plan. Options granted under the Amended Incentive Plan may be either “incentive stock options” or nonqualified stock options, generally expire ten years after the date of grant and are granted at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of grant. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for award under the Amended Incentive Plan is 8,850,000 (600,000 of which may be issued as incentive stock options), plus (i) any shares that were reserved for issuance under the Original Incentive Plan as of the effective date of the Original Incentive Plan, and (ii) any shares underlying awards outstanding on such date under the 2011 Incentive Plan that were subsequently canceled or forfeited. As of March 31, 2025, there were 1,877,159 shares available for grant.
Compensation expense for restricted stock and restricted stock units is recognized ratably over the required service period based on the fair value of the grant, calculated as the number of shares or units granted multiplied by the stock price on the date of grant, and for performance shares, including performance units, the likelihood of achieving the performance criteria. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. Compensation expense for restricted stock granted to four senior executives is calculated as the maximum number of shares granted, upon achieving certain performance criteria or market conditions, multiplied by the stock price as valued by a Monte Carlo Simulation Model. Compensation cost related to stock-based awards with graded vesting, generally over a period of 3 years, is recognized using the straight-line attribution method and recorded within SG&A expenses.
The following table summarizes the Company’s compensation expense relating to all stock-based incentive plans:

________________________
1.During the first quarter ended December 31, 2024, the final loan payment was made by the ESOP to the Company and compensation expense for the period was fully offset by dividends paid.

During the first quarter of 2025, Griffon also granted 436,947 shares of restricted stock to four senior executives with a vesting period of thirty-six months and a two-year post-vesting holding period, subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria or market conditions, relating to required levels of return on invested capital and the relative total shareholder return of Griffon's common stock as compared to a market index. So long as the minimum performance conditions are attained, the amount of shares that can vest will range from a minimum of 72,827 to a maximum of 436,947, with the target number of shares being 145,649. The total estimated fair value of these restricted shares, assuming achievement of the performance conditions at target, is $12,372, or a weighted average fair value of $84.95 per share.

Griffon evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP measures, which are defined as income before taxes, excluding interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization, strategic review charges, non-cash impairment charges, restructuring charges, gain/loss from debt extinguishment and acquisition related expenses, as well as other items that may affect comparability, as applicable. Segment adjusted EBITDA also excludes unallocated amounts, mainly corporate overhead. Griffon believes this information is useful to investors for the same reason. The following table provides a reconciliation of segment adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to income before taxes:

At the time of termination, the Plan was fully funded and the Company did not anticipate making additional funding contributions as of the benefit distribution dates. During the six months ended March 31, 2025 the Plan paid lump sum payments in the amount of $4,830 to those participants that elected a lump sum distribution. Additionally, the Company selected an insurance company to hold the annuity and provide pension benefits to the plan participants currently receiving benefit payments and those that elected to continue their future benefit with an annuity provider. This decision included a transfer of plan assets valued at $10,895. The termination process is expected to be complete in 2025.

Issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This standard expands disclosures regarding a public entity’s reportable segments and requires additional information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The standard does not change the definition of operating segments. This standard is effective with the Company's fiscal year 2025. The standard should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure. The standard requires significant additional disclosures focused on income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation table. Specifically, the amendments in the standard require the Company to disclose disaggregated: (1) income taxes paid by federal, state, and foreign, (2) continuing operations pre-tax income between domestic and foreign, and (3) continuing operations income tax expense by federal, state and foreign. The standard also requires the Company to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This standard is effective for the Company beginning with our fiscal year 2026, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential changes to its income tax disclosures and related impact on its financial reporting processes and information technology systems. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This guidance requires disclosures regarding specific information about certain costs and expenses, including but not limited to, inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and selling expenses. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning with the Company's fiscal year 2027 and interim reporting periods beginning with our 2028 fiscal year. Implementation of this standard may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 17 – RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
Griffon announced in May 2023 that CPP was expanding its global sourcing strategy to include long handled tools, material handling, and wood storage and organization product lines for the U.S. market. This initiative was successfully completed as of September 30, 2024, ahead of the previously announced date of December 31, 2024.
As a result of this global sourcing expansion initiative, manufacturing operations have concluded at four manufacturing sites and four wood mills, resulting in a total facility footprint reduction of approximately 1.2 million square feet, or approximately 15% of CPP's square footage, and a headcount reduction of approximately 600. The closed locations have met the held for sale criteria and have been classified as such on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024. The net book value of these properties as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024 totaled $5,450 and $14,532, respectively.
The adoption of an asset-light business model for these U.S. products has positioned CPP to better serve customers with a more flexible and cost-effective sourcing model that leverages supplier relationships around the world, and improved its competitive positioning.
Implementation of this strategy over the duration of the project resulted in charges of $133,777, which included $51,082 of cash charges for employee retention and severance, operational transition, and facility and lease exit costs, and $82,695 of non-cash charges primarily related to asset write-downs. In addition, there were $2,678 of capital investments to effectuate the project. This excludes cash proceeds from the sale of real estate and equipment, which at the conclusion of the project as of September 30, 2024 totaled $13,271, and excludes future proceeds from the sale of remaining real estate and equipment designated as held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, cash proceeds related to the sale of the remaining real estate and equipment held for sale totaled $17,445.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2024, CPP incurred pre-tax restructuring and related exit costs comprised of cash charges totaling $2,401. The cash charges included $482 for one-time termination benefits and other personnel-related costs and $1,919 for facility exit costs. In the six months ended March 31, 2024, CPP incurred pre-tax restructuring and related exit costs approximating $14,801, comprised of cash charges totaling $6,319 and non-cash, asset-related charges totaling $8,482. The cash charges included $2,329 for one-time termination benefits and other personnel-related costs and $3,990 for facility exit costs. Non-cash charges of $8,482 were recorded to adjust inventory to its net realizable value.
A summary of the restructuring and other related charges included in Cost of goods and services and SG&A expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were as follows:

NOTE 19 – WARRANTY LIABILITY
HBP and CPP offer warranties against product defects for periods generally ranging from one to ten years, with limited lifetime warranties on certain door and fan models. Typical warranties require HBP and CPP to repair or replace the defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. At the time revenue is recognized, Griffon records a liability for warranty costs, estimated based on historical experience, and periodically assesses its warranty obligations and adjusts the liability as necessary. CPP offers an express limited warranty for a period of ninety days on all products from the date of original purchase unless otherwise stated on the product or packaging from the date of original purchase. Warranty costs expected to be incurred in the next 12 months are classified in accrued liabilities. Warranty costs expected to be incurred beyond one year are classified in other long-term liabilities. The short-term warranty liability was $12,253 as of March 31, 2025 and $13,050 as of September 30, 2024. The long-term warranty liability was $1,239 at both March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024.
Changes in Griffon’s warranty liability, included in Accrued liabilities, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

NOTE 21 — LEASES
The Company recognizes right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, with the exception of leases with a term of twelve months or less. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The ROU assets and short and long-term liabilities associated with our Operating leases are shown as separate line items on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant, and equipment, net, other accrued liabilities, and other non-current liabilities. The Company's finance leases are immaterial. ROU assets, along with any other related long-lived assets, are periodically evaluated for impairment.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments primarily include rent and insurance costs (lease components). The Company's leases also include non-lease components such as real estate taxes and common-area maintenance costs. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component. In certain of the Company's leases, the non-lease components are variable and in accordance with the standard are therefore excluded from lease payments to determine the ROU asset. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. Our determination of the lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
For operating leases, fixed lease payments are recognized as operating lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases and impaired operating leases, the ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term, along with recognition of interest expense associated with accretion of the lease liability. For leases with a lease term of 12 months or less (a "Short-term" lease), any fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over such term, and are not recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Variable lease cost for both operating and finance leases, if any, is recognized as incurred. Components of operating lease costs are as follows:

| For the Three Months Ended March 31, | For the Six Months Ended March 31,
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024
Fixed | $ | 11,951 |  | $ | 11,863 |  | $ | 23,585 |  | $ | 23,437 |

NOTE 22 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal and environmental
Peekskill Site. Lightron Corporation (“Lightron”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Griffon, once conducted lamp manufacturing and metal finishing operations at a location in the Town of Cortlandt, New York, just outside the city of Peekskill, New York (the “Peekskill Site”). ISC Properties, Inc. (“ISCP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Griffon, owned the Peekskill Site for approximately three years. ISCP sold the Peekskill Site in November 1982.
Based upon studies conducted by ISCP and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, soils and groundwater beneath the Peekskill Site contain chlorinated solvents and metals. Stream sediments downgradient from the Peekskill Site also contain metals. On May 15, 2019 the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") added the Peekskill Site to the National Priorities List under CERCLA and has since reached agreement with Lightron and ISCP pursuant to which Lightron and ISCP will perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”). Performance of the RI/FS is expected to be completed in 2025.
Lightron has not engaged in any operations in over three decades. ISCP functioned solely as a real estate holding company and has not held any real property in over three decades. Griffon does not acknowledge any responsibility to perform any investigation or remediation at the Peekskill Site. Lightron and ISCP are being defended by an insurance company, subject to a reservation of rights, and this insurer is paying the costs of the RI.
Memphis, TN site. Hunter Fan Company (“Hunter”) operated headquarters and a production plant in Memphis, TN for over 50 years (the “Memphis Site”). While Hunter completed certain on-site remediation of PCB-contaminated soils, Hunter did not investigate the extent to which PCBs existed beneath the building itself nor determine whether off-site areas had been impacted. Hunter vacated the site approximately twenty years ago, and the on-site buildings have now been demolished.
The State of Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (“TDEC”) identified the Memphis site as being potentially contaminated, raising the possibility that site operations could have resulted in soil and groundwater contamination involving volatile organic compounds and metals. In 2021, the TDEC performed a preliminary assessment of the site and recommended to the EPA that it include the site on the National Priorities List established under CERCLA. The TDEC further recommended that the EPA fund an investigation of potential soil gas contamination in receptors near the site. The TDEC has also indicated that it will proceed with this investigation if the EPA does not act. Since 2021, there has been no further action by the EPA or TDEC relating to the Memphis site.
It is unknown whether the EPA will add the Memphis Site to the National Priorities List, whether a site investigation will reveal contamination and, if there is contamination, the extent of any such contamination. However, given that certain PCB work was not completed in the past and the TDEC’s stated intent for the EPA to perform an investigation (and the statement by the TDEC that it will perform the investigation if the EPA will not), liability is probable in this matter. There are other potentially responsible parties for this site, including a former owner of Hunter; Hunter has notified such former owner of this matter.

If the EPA decides to add this site to the National Priorities List, a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) will be required. Hunter expects that the EPA will ask it to perform this work. If Hunter does not reach an agreement with the EPA to perform this work, the EPA will implement the RI/FS on its own. Should the EPA implement the RI/FS or perform further studies and/or subsequently remediate the site without first reaching an agreement with one or more relevant parties, the EPA would likely seek reimbursement from such parties, including Hunter, for the costs incurred.
General legal
Griffon is subject to various laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and is a party to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes, based on facts presently known to it, that the resolution of the matters above and such other matters will not have a material adverse effect on Griffon’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
BUSINESS
Overview
Griffon Corporation (the “Company”, “Griffon”, "we" or "us") is a diversified management and holding company that conducts business through wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company was founded in 1959, is a Delaware corporation headquartered in New York, N.Y. and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:GFF).
Business Strategy
Our strategic objective is to maintain leading positions in the markets we serve by providing innovative, branded products with superior quality and industry-leading service. We place emphasis on our iconic and well-respected brands, which helps to differentiate us and our offerings from our competitors and strengthens our relationship with our customers and those who ultimately use our products.
Through operating a diverse portfolio of businesses, we expect to reduce variability caused by external factors such as market cyclicality, seasonality, and weather. We achieve diversity by providing various product offerings and brands through multiple sales and distribution channels and conducting business across multiple countries which we consider our home markets.
Griffon oversees the operations of its subsidiaries, allocates resources among them and manages their capital structures. Griffon provides direction and assistance to its subsidiaries in connection with acquisition and growth opportunities as well as divestitures. As long-term investors, we intend to continue to grow and strengthen our existing businesses, and to diversify further through investments in our businesses and acquisitions.
Since 2017, we have undertaken a series of transformative transactions to strengthen our core businesses and increase shareholder value. We divested our specialty plastics business in 2018 and our defense electronics (Telephonics) business in 2022 to focus on our core markets and improve our free cash flow conversion. In our Home and Building Products ("HBP") segment, we acquired CornellCookson, Inc. ("CornellCookson") in 2018, which has helped establish us as a leading North American manufacturer and marketer of residential garage doors and sectional commercial doors, and rolling steel doors and grille products, under brands that include Clopay, Ideal, Cornell and Cookson. In our Consumer and Professional Products ("CPP") segment, we expanded the scope of our brands through the acquisition of Hunter Fan Company ("Hunter") in January 2022 and ClosetMaid, LLC ("ClosetMaid") in 2018.
On July 1, 2024, Griffon announced that its subsidiary, The AMES Companies, Inc., ("AMES") expanded the scope of its Australian operations by acquiring substantially all the assets of Pope, a leading Australian provider of residential watering products, from The Toro Company (NYSE:TTC) for a purchase price of approximately AUD 21,800 (approximately $14,500) in cash. This is CPP's seventh acquisition in Australia since 2013, and further expands AMES's product portfolio in the Australian market. Pope is expected to contribute approximately $25,000 in revenue in the first twelve months after this acquisition.
Further Information
Griffon posts and makes available, free of charge through its website at www.griffon.com, its Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as press releases, as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are published or filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The information found on Griffon's website is not part of this or any other report it files with or furnishes to the SEC.

OVERVIEW
Revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $611,746 compared to $672,880 in the prior year quarter, a decrease of $61,134 or 9%, due to the decreased revenue at HBP and CPP of 6% and 13%, respectively. Net income was $56,762 or $1.21 per share, compared to $64,143, or $1.28 per share, in the prior year quarter.
The current year quarter results from operations included the following:
– Strategic review - retention and other of $1,199 ($898, net of tax, or $0.02 per share);
– Gain on sale of real estate of $183 ($136, net of tax, or $0.00 per share); and

Revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $1,244,117 compared to $1,316,033 in the prior year period, a decrease of 5%, due to the decreased revenue at HBP and CPP of 3% and 9%, respectively. Net income was $127,613 or $2.70 per share, compared to net income of $106,320, or $2.10 per share, in the prior year period.
The current year-to-date results from operations included the following:
– Strategic review - retention and other of $2,850 ($2,113, net of tax, or $0.04 per share);
– Gain on sale of real estate of $8,157 ($6,079, net of tax, or $0.13 per share); and
– Discrete and certain other tax benefits, net, of $175 or $0.00 per share.
The prior year-to-date results from operations included the following:
– Restructuring charges of $14,801 ($10,982, net of tax, or $0.22 per share);
– Strategic review - retention and other of $7,334 ($5,497, net of tax, or $0.11 per share);
– Gain on sale of real estate of $558 ($415, net of tax, or $0.01 per share); and
– Discrete and certain other tax provisions, net, of $393 or $0.01 per share.
Excluding these items from the respective periods, net income would have been $123,472, or $2.61 per share in the six months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $122,777, or $2.42 per share, in the prior year period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three and Six Months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Griffon evaluates performance and allocates resources based on each segment adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, which is defined as income before taxes, excluding interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization, unallocated amounts (mainly corporate overhead), strategic review charges, non-cash impairment charges, restructuring charges, and acquisition related expenses, as well as other items that may affect comparability, as applicable. Griffon believes this information is useful to investors for the same reason. See table provided in Note 13 - Reportable Segments for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to income before taxes.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, revenue decreased $37,320, or 13%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by decreased volume of 13% due to reduced consumer demand in North America and the United Kingdom ("UK"), partially offset by increased organic volume in Australia. The Pope acquisition contributed 2%. Foreign currency had a 2% unfavorable impact on the current quarter revenue.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, adjusted EBITDA of $23,726 increased $3,605 compared to $20,121 in the prior year quarter, primarily due to the benefits from the global sourcing expansion initiative and increased volume and improved margin in Australia, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the reduced North American and UK volume. Foreign currency had a 1% unfavorable impact on the current quarter adjusted EBITDA.
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, revenue decreased $47,712 or 9% compared to the prior year period, driven by decreased volume of 11% due to reduced consumer demand in all geographic regions, except Australia, which benefited from increased organic volume. The Pope acquisition contributed 3%. Foreign currency had a 1% unfavorable impact on the current six month period revenue.
For the six months ended March 31, 2025, adjusted EBITDA of $41,918 increased $16,258 compared to $25,660 in the prior year period, primarily due to the benefits from the global sourcing expansion initiative, and increased volume and improved margin in Australia, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the reduced North American and UK volume noted above.

For the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2025, segment depreciation and amortization remained consistent with prior year periods.
On July 1, 2024 Griffon announced that its subsidiary, AMES, expanded the scope of its Australian operations by acquiring substantially all the assets of Pope, a leading Australian provider of residential watering products, from The Toro Company (NYSE:TTC) for a purchase price of approximately AUD 21,800 (approximately $14,500) in cash. This is CPP's seventh acquisition in Australia since 2013, and further expands AMES’s product portfolio in the Australian market. Pope is expected to contribute approximately $25,000 in revenue in the first twelve months after the acquisition.
Unallocated
For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, unallocated amounts, excluding depreciation, consisted primarily of corporate overhead costs totaling $14,635 compared to $14,814 in the prior year quarter; for the six months ended March 31, 2025, unallocated amounts totaled $28,677 compared to $28,721 in the prior year period. The decrease in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to a decrease in consulting costs. The six month period ended March 31, 2025 remained consistent with the prior year period.
Strategic review

Stock-based compensation
For the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, stock based compensation expense, which includes expense for both restricted stock grants and the ESOP, totaled $6,515 and $6,257, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, stock based compensation expense totaled $11,893 and $12,674, respectively. The increase in the current quarter expense compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to an increase in stock compensation expense driven by the timing of equity awards granted, partially offset by a decrease in Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) expense. The decrease in expense for the six month period ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to a decrease in ESOP expense, partially offset by the increase in stock compensation expense driven by the timing of equity awards granted in the current period compared to the prior year period.
The decrease in the ESOP expense was due to the plan being frozen as of September 30, 2024 (meaning that, for plan years after this date, no additional employees will become participants under the ESOP and no new voluntary contributions will be made to the ESOP). Additionally, during the first quarter ended December 31, 2024 the final loan payment was made by the ESOP to the Company and compensation expense was fully offset by dividends paid. As of December 31, 2024 there were 4,166,038 shares of common stock in the ESOP, all of which were allocated to participant accounts.
Comprehensive income (loss)
For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, total other comprehensive income, net of taxes, of $2,417 included a gain of $2,970 from foreign currency translation adjustments primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro and British Pound in comparison to the U.S. Dollar; and a $541 benefit from pension amortization, partially offset by a $1,094 loss on cash flow hedges.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Management assesses Griffon’s liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash to fund its operating, investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting liquidity include cash flows from operating activities, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dispositions, bank lines of credit and the ability to attract long-term capital under satisfactory terms. Griffon believes it has sufficient liquidity available to invest in existing businesses and strategic acquisitions while managing its capital structure on both a short-term and long-term basis.
As of March 31, 2025, the amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries was $78,800. Our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds, except in limited circumstances, outside the U.S., and we do not currently anticipate that we will need funds generated from foreign operations to fund our domestic operations. The Company may repatriate cash from its non-U.S. subsidiaries if the Company determines that it is beneficial for the company and tax efficient. The Company has accrued a deferred tax liability for withholding taxes on previously taxed earnings and profit (PTEP) which are not considered permanently reinvested. In the event we determine that additional funds from non-U.S. operations are needed to fund operations in the U.S., we will be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these additional funds.
Griffon's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations, cash on hand and our secured $500,000 revolving credit facility ("Revolver"), which matures in August 2028. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company generated $159,425 of net cash from operating activities and, as of March 31, 2025, the Company had $364,510 available, subject to certain loan covenants, for borrowing under the Revolver. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $127,821 at March 31, 2025.
The following table is derived from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2025 was $159,425, compared to $185,860 in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in net working capital, mainly driven by increased inventory in the current year period versus inventory reductions in the prior year period, partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable and prepaid and other current assets.
Cash flows used in investing activities is primarily comprised of capital expenditures and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment.

During 2020, Griffon issued, at par, $1,000,000 of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”). Proceeds from the 2028 Senior Notes were used to redeem $1,000,000 of 5.25% Senior Notes due in 2022. In connection with the issuance and exchange of the 2028 Senior Notes, Griffon capitalized $16,448 of underwriting fees and other expenses incurred, which is being amortized over the term of such notes. During 2022, Griffon purchased $25,225 of 2028 Senior Notes in the open market at a weighted average discount of 91.82% of par, or $23,161. As of March 31, 2025, outstanding 2028 Senior Notes due totaled $974,775; interest is payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1.
The 2028 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Griffon guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries, and subject to certain covenants, limitations and restrictions. The 2028 Senior Notes were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") via an exchange offer. The fair value of the 2028 Senior Notes approximated $950,406 on March 31, 2025 based upon quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs). At March 31, 2025, $5,890 of underwriting fees and other expenses incurred remained to be amortized.
On January 24, 2022, Griffon amended and restated its Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to provide for a new $800,000 Term Loan B facility, due January 24, 2029, in addition to the revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") provided for under the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan B facility was issued at 99.75% of par value. Since that time, Griffon prepaid $325,000 aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan B, which permanently reduced the outstanding balance. As of March 31, 2025, the Term Loan B outstanding balance was $453,000.
On June 26, 2024, Griffon further amended its Credit Agreement to favorably reprice the Term Loan B facility. The amendment reduced the margin above Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") by 0.25%, eliminated the credit spread adjustment and reduced the SOFR floor from 0.50% to 0%. In connection with the amendment, Griffon recognized a $1,700 loss on debt extinguishment primarily consisting of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount related to portions of the Term Loan B facility that were repaid and then reborrowed from new lenders. At March 31, 2025, $4,795 of costs incurred remained to be amortized.

Table of Contents
The Term Loan B bears interest at the Term SOFR rate plus a spread of 2.00% (6.32% as of March 31, 2025). The Term Loan B facility continues to require nominal quarterly principal payments of $2,000, potential additional annual principal payments based on a percentage of excess cash flow and certain secured leverage thresholds and a final balloon payment due at maturity. Term Loan B borrowings may generally be repaid without penalty. Once repaid, Term Loan B borrowings may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan B facility is subject to the same affirmative and negative covenants that apply to the Revolver (as described below), but is not subject to any financial maintenance covenants. Term Loan B borrowings are secured by the same collateral that secures borrowings under the Revolver, on an equal and ratable basis. The fair value of the Term Loan B facility approximated $453,000 on March 31, 2025 based upon quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs).
On August 1, 2023, Griffon amended and restated the Credit Agreement to increase the maximum borrowing availability under the Revolver from $400,000 to $500,000 and extend the maturity date of the Revolver from March 22, 2025 to August 1, 2028. In the event the 2028 Senior Notes are not repaid, refinanced, or replaced prior to December 1, 2027, the Revolver will mature on December 1, 2027. The amendment also modified certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement, including increasing the letter of credit sub-facility under the Revolver from $100,000 to $125,000 and increasing the customary accordion feature from a minimum of $375,000 to a minimum of $500,000. The Revolver also includes a multi-currency sub-facility of $200,000.
Borrowings under the Revolver may be repaid and re-borrowed at any time. Interest is payable on borrowings at either a SOFR, Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") or base rate benchmark rate, plus an applicable margin, which adjusts based on financial performance. Griffon's SOFR loans accrue interest at Term SOFR plus a credit adjustment spread and a margin of 1.75% (6.17% at March 31, 2025) and base rate loans accrue interest at prime rate plus a margin of 0.75% (8.25% at March 31, 2025).
At March 31, 2025, under the Credit Agreement, there was $122,500 in outstanding borrowings on the Revolver; outstanding standby letters of credit were $12,990; and $364,510 was available, subject to certain loan covenants, for borrowing at that date.
The Revolver has certain financial maintenance tests including a maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum senior secured leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants place limits on Griffon's ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, incur liens, and make restricted payments and investments. Both the Revolver and Term Loan B borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Griffon’s material domestic subsidiaries and are secured, on a first priority basis, by substantially all domestic assets of the Company and the guarantors.
In November 2012, Garant G.P. (“Garant”), a Griffon wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a CAD 15,000 revolving credit facility, which expired in December 2024. In January 2025, Garant entered into a new CAD 20,000 revolving credit facility that matures in January 2026 but is renewable upon mutual agreement with the lender. The new facility accrues interest at Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") plus a credit adjustment spread and a margin of 1.2% (4.27% as of March 31, 2025). At March 31, 2025 there was no balance outstanding under the facility with CAD 20,000 ($13,992 as of March 31, 2025) available for borrowing. The facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Garant. Garant is required to maintain a certain minimum equity and a minimum interest coverage ratio.
During 2023, Griffon Australia Holdings Pty Ltd and its Australian subsidiaries (collectively, "Griffon Australia") amended its AUD 15,000 receivable purchase facility to AUD 30,000. The receivable purchase facility was renewed as of March 2025 and now matures in March 2026, but is renewable upon mutual agreement with the lender. The receivable purchase facility accrues interest at Bank Bill Swap Rate plus 1.25% (5.35% at March 31, 2025). At March 31, 2025, there was no balance outstanding under the receivable purchase facility with AUD 30,000 ($18,918 as of March 31, 2025) available for borrowing. The receivable purchase facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Griffon Australia and its subsidiaries. Griffon Australia is required to maintain a certain minimum equity level.
In February 2024, Griffon repaid in full a loan with the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority. The balance in other long-term debt consists primarily of finance leases.
At March 31, 2025, Griffon and its subsidiaries were in compliance with the terms and covenants of all its credit and loan agreements. N et debt to EBITDA (Leverage ratio), a non-GAAP measure, is a key financial measure that is used by management to assess the borrowing capacity of the Company. The Company has defined its net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio as net debt (total principal debt outstanding net of cash and equivalents) divided by the sum of trailing twelve-month (“TTM”) adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) and TTM stock-based compensation expense. Net Debt to EBITDA, as calculated in accordance with the definition in the Credit Agreement, was 2.6x at March 31, 2025.

Capital Resource Requirements
Griffon's debt requirements include principal on our outstanding debt, most notably our Senior Notes totaling $974,775 payable in 2028 and related annual interest payments of approximately $56,058, a Term Loan B facility maturing in 2029 with an outstanding balance of $453,000 on March 31, 2025 and Revolver maturing in 2028 with an outstanding balance of $122,500. The Term Loan B accrues interest at the Term SOFR plus a spread of 2.00% (6.32% as of March 31, 2025). The Term Loan B facility continues to require nominal quarterly principal payments of $2,000, potential additional annual principal payments based on a percentage of excess cash flow and certain secured leverage thresholds, and a balloon payment due at maturity. The Revolver accrues interest on borrowings at either a SOFR, SONIA or base rate benchmark rate, plus an applicable margin, which adjusts based on financial performance. Griffon's SOFR loans accrue interest at Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment and a margin of 1.75% (6.17% at March 31, 2025) and base rate loans accrue interest at prime rate plus a margin of 0.75% (8.25% at March 31, 2025).
Customers
A small number of customers account for, and are expected to continue to account for, a substantial portion of Griffon’s consolidated revenue. For the six months ended March 31, 2025, our largest customer, The Home Depot, represented 10% of Griffon’s consolidated revenue, 9% of HBP’s revenue and 12% of CPP's revenue.
No other customer is expected to exceed 10% of consolidated revenue. Future operating results will continue to depend substantially on the success of Griffon’s largest customers and our ongoing relationships with them. Orders from these customers are subject to change and may fluctuate materially. The loss of all or a portion of the volume from any one of these customers could have a material adverse impact on Griffon’s liquidity and results of operations.
SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Griffon’s Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally by Clopay Corporation, The AMES Companies, Inc., Clopay AMES Holding Corp., ClosetMaid LLC, AMES Hunter Holdings Corporation, Hunter Fan Company, CornellCookson, LLC and Cornell Real Estate Holdings, LLC, all of which are indirectly 100% owned by Griffon. In accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act, presented below are summarized financial information of the Parent (Griffon) subsidiaries and the Guarantor subsidiaries as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024 and for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and for the year ended September 30, 2024. All intercompany balances and transactions between subsidiaries under Parent and subsidiaries under the Guarantor have been eliminated. The information presented below excludes eliminations necessary to arrive at the information on a consolidated basis. The summarized information excludes financial information of the non-Guarantors, including earnings from and investments in these entities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of Griffon’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in public disclosures of Griffon, including information regarding contingencies, risk and its financial condition. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are evaluated on an ongoing basis and based on historical experience, current conditions and various other assumptions, and form the basis for estimating the carrying values of assets and liabilities, as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment for commitments and contingencies. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates. There have been no changes in Griffon’s critical accounting policies from September 30, 2024.
Griffon’s significant accounting policies and procedures are explained in the Management Discussion and Analysis section in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024. In the selection of the critical accounting policies, the objective is to properly reflect the financial position and results of operations for each reporting period in a consistent manner that can be understood by the reader of the financial statements. Griffon considers an estimate to be critical if it is subjective and if changes in the estimate using different assumptions would result in a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of Griffon.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The FASB issues, from time to time, new financial accounting standards, staff positions and emerging issues task force consensus. See the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these matters.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, especially “Management’s Discussion and Analysis”, contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements relate to, among other things, income (loss), earnings, cash flows, revenue, changes in operations, operating improvements, the industries in which Griffon Corporation (the “Company” or “Griffon”) operates and the United States and global economies. Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not historical are hereby

identified as “forward-looking statements” and may be indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “supports,” “plans,” “projects,” “expects,” “believes,” "achieves", “should,” “would,” “could,” “hope,” “forecast,” “management is of the opinion,” “may,” “will,” “estimates,” “intends,” “explores,” “opportunities,” the negative of these expressions, use of the future tense and similar words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among others: current economic conditions and uncertainties in the housing, credit and capital markets; Griffon’s ability to achieve expected savings and improved operational results from cost control, restructuring, integration and disposal initiatives (including the expanded CPP global outsourcing strategy announced in May 2023); the ability to identify and successfully consummate, and integrate, value-adding acquisition opportunities; increasing competition and pricing pressures in the markets served by Griffon’s operating companies; the ability of Griffon’s operating companies to expand into new geographic and product markets, and to anticipate and meet customer demands for new products and product enhancements and innovations; increases in the cost or lack of availability of raw materials such as steel, resin and wood, components or purchased finished goods, including any potential impact on costs or availability resulting from tariffs; changes in customer demand or loss of a material customer at one of Griffon’s operating companies; the potential impact of seasonal variations and uncertain weather patterns on certain of Griffon’s businesses; political events or military conflicts that could impact the worldwide economy; a downgrade in Griffon’s credit ratings; changes in international economic conditions including inflation, interest rate and currency exchange fluctuations; the reliance by certain of Griffon’s businesses on particular third party suppliers and manufacturers to meet customer demands; the relative mix of products and services offered by Griffon’s businesses, which impacts margins and operating efficiencies; short-term capacity constraints or prolonged excess capacity; unforeseen developments in contingencies, such as litigation, regulatory and environmental matters; Griffon’s ability to adequately protect and maintain the validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; the cyclical nature of the businesses of certain of Griffon’s operating companies; possible terrorist threats and actions and their impact on the global economy; effects of possible IT system failures, data breaches or cyber-attacks; the impact of pandemics, such as COVID-19, on the U.S. and the global economy, including business disruptions, reductions in employment and an increase in business and operating facility failures, specifically among our customers and suppliers; Griffon’s ability to service and refinance its debt; and the impact of recent and future legislative and regulatory changes, including, without limitation, changes in tax laws. Additional important factors that could cause the statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the actual results of operations or financial condition of Griffon to differ are discussed under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Special Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Griffon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024. Such statements reflect the views of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, as previously disclosed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. Griffon undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Griffon’s business activities necessitate the management of various financial and market risks, including those related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates and commodity prices.
Interest Rates
Griffon’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to variable interest rate debt and investments in cash and equivalents.
Griffon's amended and restated Credit Agreement references a benchmark rate with SONIA or SOFR. In addition, certain other of Griffon’s credit facilities have BBSY (Bank Bill Swap Rate) and CORRA (Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average) (based variable interest rate). Due to the current and expected level of borrowings under these facilities, a 100 basis point change in SONIA, SOFR, BBSY, or CORRA would not have a material impact on Griffon’s results of operations or liquidity.
Foreign Exchange
Griffon conducts business in various non-US countries, primarily in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand and China; therefore, changes in the value of the currencies of these countries affect Griffon's financial position and cash flows when translated into US Dollars. Griffon has generally accepted the exposure to exchange rate movements relative to its non-US operations. Griffon may, from time to time, hedge its currency risk exposures. A change of 10% or less in the value of all applicable foreign currencies would not have a material effect on Griffon’s financial position and cash flows.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management's Quarterly Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of Griffon’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Griffon’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), were evaluated as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, Griffon’s CEO and CFO concluded that Griffon’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in Griffon’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Griffon’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Griffon believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all controls issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Griffon’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following updates the risk factor titled "CPP is subject to risks from sourcing from international locations, especially China" as set forth in Item 1A of Part I in Griffon's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024 ("2024 10-K"). Please refer to Item 1A of Part I in the 2024 10-K for other risks that could materially affect Griffon's business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the 2024 10-K are not the only risks facing Griffon. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to Griffon or that Griffon currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect Griffon’s business, financial condition and/or operating results.
CPP is subject to risks from sourcing from international locations, especially China
CPP's business is global, with products and raw materials sourced from, and manufactured and sold in multiple countries around the world. There are risks associated with conducting a business that may be impacted by political and other developments associated with international trade. In this regard, certain products sold by CPP in the United States and elsewhere are currently sourced from suppliers in China, with some of these products sourced exclusively from suppliers in China. Certain raw materials used by CPP may be sourced from China and therefore may have their prices and availability impacted by tariffs imposed on trade between the United States and China. Through the expanded sourcing strategy and the closure of U.S. facilities, CPP has increased the reliance on suppliers in China, which could further the impact of tariffs. CPP is taking steps to develop multiple suppliers outside of China to allow for supply chain sourcing pivot, as needed, in an effort to minimize this risk. However, the tariff rates imposed by the United States may be different for different countries and we may experience delays and increased costs, each of which could be substantial, in shifting our supply chain from China to other countries with lower tariffs.
The sourcing of CPP finished goods, components and raw materials from China are generally subject to supply agreements with Chinese companies. China does not have a well-developed, consolidated body of laws governing agreements with international customers. Enforcement of existing laws or contracts based on existing law may be uncertain and sporadic, and it may be difficult to obtain swift and equitable enforcement or to obtain enforcement of a judgment by a court of another jurisdiction, including other jurisdictions within China itself. The relatively limited Chinese judicial precedent on matters of international trade in many cases creates additional uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. In addition, interpretation of statutes and regulations in China may be subject to government policies or political changes.
46

Because of the volume of sourcing by CPP from China, the ongoing trade dispute between the U.S. and China, including the imposition of tariffs on various Chinese imports into the U.S. at various times since March 2018, represents a continuing risk to CPP revenue and operating performance. U.S. imports from China exceeded $425 billion in 2023, the majority of which were subject to the Section 301 tariffs. In May 2024, the United States Trade Representative (USTR) completed a mandatory four-year review of the tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. In addition to continuing the tariffs rather than allowing them to terminate under the Trade Act, the USTR announced additional tariffs on a number of products, to be implemented over the two-year period 2024-2026. Beginning in January 2025, the United States began to increase tariff rates on numerous products from a range of nations. On April 2, 2025, the United States announced a 10% baseline reciprocal tariff on imports from all countries, plus an additional country-specific tariff on imports from select trading partners. Other countries have announced retaliatory actions or plans for retaliatory actions. On April 9, 2025, the United States implemented a 90-day pause on the country-specific tariffs for all countries except China, while maintaining the 10% baseline tariff. Various U.S. federal agencies have been directed to further evaluate key aspects of trade policy, and there has been ongoing discussion and commentary regarding potential significant changes to U.S. trade policies, treaties and tariffs, and retaliatory tariffs and other measures, that may be enacted in response to such changes. There exists significant uncertainty regarding the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties and tariffs. We also face uncertainty in the interpretation of new tariffs and their applicability, including with respect to customs valuation, product classification and country-of-origin determinations.
In addition to tariffs, an increased global focus on forced labor in supply chains has the potential to impact our business operations. In June 2022, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) went into effect and establishes a rebuttable presumption that goods made in whole or in part in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People’s Republic of China are produced with forced labor, and directs US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to prevent entry of products made with forced labor into the U.S. market. Importers whose shipments are detained by CBP under the UFLPA can rebut the presumption with “clear and convincing evidence” that the products were not produced with forced labor. This requires that the importer submit detailed information regarding every supplier and sub-supplier, and all components and raw materials, relating to the manufacturing and transportation of goods being detained. Detention costs accrue during the pendency of CBP's evaluation.
From October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024, more than 4,200 shipments to U.S importers, valued at approximately $1.7 billion, were targeted by CBP for further inspection. Neither CPP nor its suppliers currently manufacture or source products, components or raw materials from the Uyghur region of China; however, CBP takes a broad approach when targeting shipments it believes may have originated from the Uyghur region based on product definitions, tariff codes and supplier names that lead them to suspect the goods come from the Uyghur region. Additionally, the Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force has determined that certain industry sectors (including apparel, cotton and cotton products, silica-based products, PVC and aluminum products), and countries of origin outside of China (including Vietnam and Thailand) have an inherently higher risk of forced labor, such that CBP may detain goods within these sectors suspected of being manufactured with materials originating from Xinjiang, or coming from a country identified as higher risk.
As a result, CPP shipments may be targeted for detention in which case they become subject to the rebuttable presumption that they were sourced from the Uyghur region or another high-risk country, even though they are not imported directly from China or are otherwise demonstrably outside the scope of the UFLPA. In view of the increased enforcement of forced labor initiatives, we are continuing to update our compliance measures and work with our supply base to validate their supply chains, from raw materials through components to finished goods, to ensure our goods are not made using forced labor. We cannot be certain that our products will not be targeted or that our shipments will not be detained, which may impact our operating performance.
The continuing political and economic conflicts between U.S. and China have resulted in, and may continue to result in retaliatory actions from, both countries, and it is unknown whether current US-China relations over Taiwan, including the signature of the US-Taiwan Initiative on 21st Century Trade signed in May 2023, or the United States' continuing commitment to support Taiwan with equipment and services for its self-defense, will impact the ongoing trade dispute with China. We cannot predict what new retaliatory policies and regulations may be implemented by the Chinese government in response to the U.S./Taiwan engagement, and any such policies and regulations or other responses may adversely affect our business operations in China.
HBP and CPP operations are also subject to the effects of international trade agreements and regulations such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which will undergo a mandatory six-year review in 2026, and the activities and regulations of the World Trade Organization. Although these trade agreements generally have positive effects on trade liberalization, sourcing flexibility and the cost of goods by reducing or eliminating the duties and/or quotas assessed on products manufactured in a particular country, trade agreements can also adversely affect HBP and CPP. For example, trade agreements can result in setting quotas on products that may be imported from a particular country into key markets including the U.S., Canada, Australia and the U.K., or may make it easier for other companies to compete by eliminating restrictions on products from countries in which HBP and CPP competitors source products. With the expansion of its global sourcing
47

strategy and the closure of numerous US manufacturing locations, CPP is likely to experience a diminished ability to take advantage of the trade benefits of the USMCA.
The ability of HBP and CPP to import products in a timely and cost-effective manner may continue to be affected by conditions at ports or issues that otherwise affect transportation and warehousing providers, such as port and shipping capacity, fuel prices, labor disputes, severe weather or increased homeland security requirements in the U.S. and other countries, as well as the potential for increased costs due to currency exchange fluctuations. These issues, along with the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, could delay importation of products or require HBP and CPP to locate alternative ports or warehousing providers to avoid disruption to customers. These alternatives may not be available on short notice or could result in higher transit costs, which could have an adverse impact on the business and financial results of HBP and CPP.
