In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to fairly state our financial position at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, our results of operations, ~~and~~ comprehensive income (loss) ~~for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,~~, cash flows ~~for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 and 2019~~ and changes in shareholders' equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and ~~six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.~~2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, ~~2019~~2020 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted ("GAAP") in the United States of America.

~~Reclassifications.~~ Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2020 presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the cash flows from discontinued operations are not separately classified.

~~Stock-Based Compensation.~~ We issue stock-based incentives in various forms to our employees and non-employee Directors. Outstanding stock-based incentives were in the form of long-term stock awards, stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs") and phantom stock awards.

In December 2019, our Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") amended the terms of equity awards under our 2014 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan to provide that newly issued stock options, RSUs and phantom stock awards vest over a ~~three-year period and redefined retirement-eligibility as age 65 or age 55 with at least 10 years of continuous service.~~

As such, compensation expense for equity awards granted in 2020 and thereafter is recognized ratably over the shorter of the vesting period, typically three years, or the length of time until the grantee becomes retirement eligible.

In February 2020, our Compensation Committee approved the grant of RSUs under the Company’s 2014 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan. We measure compensation expense for RSUs at the market price of our common stock at the grant date.

~~Allowance for Credit Losses.~~ We do business with a number of customers, including certain home center retailers. We monitor our exposure for credit losses on our customer receivable balances and other financial investments measured at amortized cost and the credit worthiness of our customers on an on-going basis, including requiring the completion of credit applications and performing periodic reviews of our open accounts receivable. We record allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to fulfill their required payment obligation to us. Allowances are estimated at each of our businesses based upon specific customer balances, where a risk of loss has been identified, and also include a provision for losses based upon historical collection experience and write-off activity as well as reasonable and supportable forecast information that considers macro-economic factors and industry-specific trends associated with our businesses, among others. Our receivables balances are generally due in less than one year.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In ~~June 2016,~~January 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which modifies the methodology for recognizing loss impairments on certain types of financial instruments, including receivables. The new methodology requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure. Additionally, ASU 2016-13 amends the current available-for-sale security other-than-temporary impairment model for debt securities. We adopted ASU 2016-13 and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract," which allows for the capitalization of certain implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. We adopted ASU 2018-15 prospectively beginning on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes," which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. We early adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

~~Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.~~ ~~In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU~~ 2020-01, "Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321),", "Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323),", and "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic ~~815",~~815," which clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions when either applying or discontinuing the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321. ASU 2020-01 clarifies that for certain forward contracts or purchased options to acquire investments, an entity should not consider whether, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or the fair value option. We adopted ASU 2020-01 ~~is effective for us for annual periods~~prospectively beginning on January 1, 2021. ~~Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this new pronouncement and the impact, if any, the~~The adoption of ~~this guidance has~~the standard did not have a material effect on our financial position ~~and~~or results of operations.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting," which provides optional guidance and expedients for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments are intended to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this update are elective and are effective upon issuance. We are currently assessing whether and how we will elect to apply ASU 2020-04.

B. ACQUISITIONS

In the first quarter of 2021, we acquired a 75.1% equity interest in Easy Sanitary Solutions B.V. ("ESS"), for approximately €47 million ($58 million), including $52 million of cash and $6 million of debt that will be paid out over two years less any pending or settled indemnity matters. These amounts are subject to working capital and other adjustments. The cash payment was made to a third-party notary on December 29, 2020 for the acquisition of this equity interest in advance of the transaction closing on January 4, 2021. ESS is a manufacturer of shower channel drains and offers a wide range of products for barrier-free showering and bathroom wall niches. This business is included in our Plumbing Products segment. In connection with this acquisition, we recognized $32 million of definite-lived intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships. The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization period of 10 years. We also recognized $35 million of goodwill, which is not tax deductible, and is related primarily to the expected synergies from combining the operations into our business.

The remaining 24.9% equity interest in ESS is subject to a call and put option that is exercisable by us or the sellers, respectively, any time after December 31, 2023. The redemption value of the call and put option is the same and based on a floating EBITDA value. The call and put options were determined to be embedded within the redeemable noncontrolling interest and was recorded as temporary equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. We elected to adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interest to its full redemption amount directly into retained earnings.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of Kraus USA Inc. ("Kraus"), a designer and distributor of sinks, faucets and accessories for the kitchen and bathroom, for approximately $103 million and an additional cash payment of up to $50 million contingent upon the achievement of certain financial performance metrics for the year ending December 31, 2022. As of the closing date of the acquisition, the contingent consideration was assigned a fair value of approximately $8 million. This business expands our product offerings to our customers and our online presence under the Kraus brand. This business is included in our Plumbing Products segment. In connection with this acquisition, we recognized $25 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets, which is related to trademarks, and $49 million of definite-lived intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships. The definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization period of 10 years. We also recognized $20 million of goodwill, which is generally tax deductible, and is related primarily to the expected synergies from combining the operations into our business. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, we revised the allocation of the purchase price to certain identifiable assets and liabilities based on analysis of information as of the acquisition date that has been made available through March 31, 2021, which resulted in a $1 million decrease to goodwill.

C. ~~DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (Continued)~~DIVESTITURES (Concluded)

On November 14, 2019, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell Masco Cabinetry LLC ("Cabinetry"), a manufacturer of cabinetry products. We completed the divestiture of Cabinetry on February 18, 2020 for proceeds of approximately $989 million, including $853 million, net of cash disposed. The remaining $136 million was accounted for as preferred stock issued by a holding company of the buyer; refer to Note G for additional information. ~~The working capital adjustment was finalized with the buyer in the second quarter of 2020, resulting in no significant changes to net proceeds.~~ In connection with the sale, we recognized a gain on the divestiture of $585 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2020, which is included in income from discontinued operations, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

~~In the fourth quarter of 2019,~~ we determined that the previously reported Cabinetry Products segment met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation, as Cabinetry represented all of our cabinet businesses and all remaining businesses in the Cabinetry Products segment.

In conjunction with the divestiture of Milgard and Cabinetry, we entered into Transition Services Agreements to provide administrative services to the buyers. The fees for services rendered under each Transition Services Agreement are not expected to be material to our results of operations.

As a part of the Cabinetry Transition Services Agreement, we have guaranteed Cabinetry's obligations to a third-party while Cabinetry continues to participate in our voluntary supply chain finance program to the extent Cabinetry under its new ownership becomes delinquent on its payments. The amount Cabinetry and its new owners owe under the program was $20 million at June 30, 2020. In conjunction with the Transition Services Agreement, the new owners provided a letter of credit to the third-party in the amount of $10 million. As such, the maximum exposure for us associated with this guarantee is the difference between the amount Cabinetry owes at any given point and the letter of credit. Cabinetry exited our program in June 2020 and our guarantee will end when all remaining payments have been made, which is expected to be in the fourth quarter of 2020. No significant loss has been experienced or is probable under this guarantee.

G. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS

Preferred Stock of ACProducts Holding, Inc.

In conjunction with our divestiture of Cabinetry, we received preferred stock of ACProducts Holding, Inc., the holding company of the buyer, with a liquidation preference of $150 million. The preferred stock has a coupon of 8 percent until the first anniversary of issuance, 9 percent after the first anniversary and until the second anniversary of issuance, and 10 percent after the second anniversary of issuance and until the seventh anniversary of issuance. After which, the rate will increase by 50 basis points up to a maximum of 15 percent for each annual period occurring during and after the seventh anniversary until all shares have been redeemed in full.

We do not have the ability to exercise significant influence, and the fair value of this security is not readily available. We have elected to measure this investment at cost (less impairment, if any) adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investments of the same issuer for subsequent measurements of fair value.

As the preferred stock was received in conjunction with the sale of Cabinetry, we determined the cost to be the fair value of the preferred stock at the time of sale.

The fair value of the preferred stock was measured on a non-recurring basis, and estimated using discounted cash flow and option pricing models (Level 3 inputs). The significant unobservable inputs used to value the preferred stock included: time to exit (deemed maturity) since the preferred stock is not mandatorily redeemable, discount rate used to determine the present value of expected cash flows, which included the spread on company specific debt and the risk-free rate of return, the liquidation preference and the coupon rate. On the date of acquisition, the fair value of this investment was determined to be $136 million and was included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

~~G. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS (Concluded)~~

Dividends earned on this investment are included within other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations with a corresponding increase to our basis in the investment. We had dividend income of $4$3 million for ~~both~~ the three-month ~~and six-month periods~~period ended ~~June 30, 2020. As such, the~~March 31, 2021.

Fair Value of Debt. The fair value of our short-term and long-term fixed-rate debt instruments is based principally upon modeled market prices for the same or similar issues, which are Level 1 inputs. The aggregate estimated market value of our short-term and long-term debt at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 was approximately $3.1 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of ~~$2.8~~$3.0 billion.

We received proceeds of $1,495 million, net of discount, for the issuance of these Notes. The Notes are senior indebtedness and are redeemable at our option at the applicable redemption price. On March 22, 2021, proceeds from the debt issuances, together with cash on hand, were used to repay and early retire our $326 million 5.950% Notes due March 15, 2022, $500 million 4.450% Notes due April 1, 2025, and $500 million 4.375% Notes due April 1, 2026. In connection with these early retirements, we incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $168 million, which was recorded as interest expense.

On March 13, 2019, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion and a maturity date of March 13, 2024. Under the Credit Agreement, at our request and subject to certain conditions, we can increase the aggregate commitment up to an additional $500 million with the current lenders or new lenders. Upon entry into the Credit Agreement, our credit agreement dated March 28, 2013, as amended, with an aggregate commitment of $750 million, was terminated.

The Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility available to us and one of our foreign subsidiaries, in U.S. dollars, European euros, British Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollars and certain other currencies for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit. Borrowings under the revolving credit loans denominated in any agreed upon currency other than U.S. dollars are limited to $500 million, equivalent. We can also borrow swingline loans up to $100 million and obtain letters of credit of up to $25 million; outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement reduce our borrowing capacity. At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had 0 outstanding standby letters of credit under the Credit Agreement.

Revolving credit loans bear interest under the Credit Agreement, at our option, at (A) a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. prime rate, (ii) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) if available, adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.0% (the "Alternative Base Rate"); plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings; or (B) if available, adjusted LIBO Rate plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings.

Effective February 10, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, for retirement, of up to $2.0 billion of shares of our common stock in open-market transactions or otherwise, replacing the previous Board of Directors authorization established in 2019. In the first three months of 2021, we repurchased and retired 5.5 million shares of our common stock (including 0.6 million shares to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted in the first three months of the year), for approximately $303 million. At March 31, 2021, we had $1.9 billion remaining under the 2021 authorization.

On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share were $0.140 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and $0.135 ($0.135) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, respectively.

~~For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we allocated dividends and undistributed earnings to the unvested restricted stock awards.~~

Additionally, 762,000 and 672,000 common shares for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and 1.3 million and 1.2 million common shares for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively, related to stock options, and 20,000 common shares related to performance restricted stock units for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 were excluded from the computation of diluted income per common share due to their antidilutive effect.

In September 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, for retirement, of up to $2.0 billion of shares of our common stock in open-market transactions or otherwise. In the first six-months of 2020, we repurchased and retired 16.5 million shares of our common stock for approximately $602 million. This included 0.4 million shares to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted in the first half of the year as well as 1.2 million shares received at no additional cost from the settlement of the accelerated stock repurchase transaction initiated in November 2019. At June 30, 2020, we had $900 million remaining under the 2019 repurchase authorization.

On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share were $0.135 ($0.135) and $0.270 ($0.270) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and $0.120 ($0.120) and $0.240 ($0.240) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

P. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are involved in claims and litigation, including class actions, mass torts and regulatory proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. The types of matters may include, among others: competition, product liability, employment, warranty, advertising, contract, personal injury, environmental, intellectual property, and insurance coverage. We believe we have adequate defenses in these ~~matters~~matters. We are also subject to product safety regulations, product recalls and ~~that~~direct claims for product liabilities. We believe the likelihood that the outcome of these claims, litigation and product safety matters would have a material adverse effect on us is remote. However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in these matters, and we could, in the future, incur judgments or penalties, enter into settlements of claims or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of these matters, which could materially impact our results of operations.

Q. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate was 27 percent and 2619 percent for the three-month periods ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively. The increase in the ~~tax~~ rate was primarily due to a $5 million income tax expense from the elimination of a disproportionate tax effect from accumulated other comprehensive loss, relating to our interest rate swap, following the retirement of the related debt in March 2021 and a $5 million increase to income tax expense from an anticipated loss on the termination of our qualified domestic defined-benefit pension plans in 2021 providing no tax benefit in certain jurisdictions. The increase in the rate was also due to an additional $1$4 million income tax benefit on stock-based compensation, recognized in the ~~second~~first quarter ~~of 2019 and the recording of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions in the second quarter of 2020.~~

Our effective tax rate was 24 percent and 25 percent for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in the tax rate was primarily due to an additional $1 million income tax benefit on stock-based compensation and an additional $3 million state income tax benefit from a reduction in the liability for uncertain tax positions resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitation recognized in the first half of 2020.

We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America. However, we believe that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results under GAAP.

Diluted income per common share for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 was $0.80 and $1.27, respectively, per common share, compared with $0.72 and $1.08, respectively, per common share for the comparable periods of 2019.TAXES

Our effective tax rate ~~was~~of 27 ~~percent and 24~~ percent for the three-month ~~and six-month periods~~period ended ~~June 30, 2020, respectively. Our three-month rate~~March 31, 2021 was higher than our normalized tax rate of ~~26 percent~~25 percent. The increase was due primarily to ~~losses in certain foreign jurisdictions providing no income tax benefit and the recording of~~ a ~~valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions. Our six-month rate was lower than our normalized tax rate due primarily to an additional~~ $5 million income tax expense from the elimination of a disproportionate tax effect from accumulated other comprehensive loss, relating to our interest rate swap, following the retirement of the related debt in March 2021 and a $5 million increase to income tax expense from an anticipated loss on the termination of our qualified domestic defined-benefit pension plans in 2021 providing no tax benefit ~~on stock-based compensation and~~in certain jurisdictions. The increased income tax expense was partially offset by an additional $3$5 million state income tax benefit from a reduction in the liability for uncertain tax positions resulting from the expiration of statutes of limitation in the first ~~half~~quarter of ~~2020.~~2021.

INCOME AND INCOME PER COMMON SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS — ATTRIBUTABLE TO MASCO CORPORATION

Income from continuing operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was $94 million compared to $133 million for the comparable period of 2020. Diluted income per common share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 was $0.34 per common share, compared with $0.48 per common share for the comparable period of 2020.

OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our current ratio was ~~1.5 to 1 and~~ 1.8 to 1 at ~~June 30, 2020~~both March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019, respectively. The decrease in our current ratio is due primarily to the reclassification of our $400 million, 3.50% Notes due April 1, 2021 to short-term notes payable.~~2020.

For the ~~six-month~~three-month period ended ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, net cash ~~provided by~~used for operating activities was ~~$290~~$89 million. Our cash flows from operations benefited from recently issued IRS guidance, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, that enabled us to defer the $192 million of income taxes payable recognized on the Cabinetry sale and other eligible Federal and State income tax payments normally due in April and June 2020, to July 2020. This benefit was partially offset by the income tax expense of $179 million resulting from the gain recorded in connection with the divestiture of Cabinetry.

For the ~~six-month~~three-month period ended ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, net cash used for financing activities was ~~$694~~$359 million, primarily due to ~~$602~~$1,326 million for the early retirement of our 5.950% Notes due March 15, 2022, 4.450% Notes due April 1, 2025, and 4.375% Notes due April 1, 2026 and $160 million of related debt extinguishment costs. Net cash used for financing activities was also impacted by $303 million for the repurchase and retirement of our common stock (including ~~0.4~~0.6 million shares repurchased to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted in ~~2020)~~2021), ~~$73~~$36 million for the payment of cash dividends, ~~$23 million for dividends paid to noncontrolling interest~~ and ~~$22~~$14 million for employee withholding taxes paid on stock-based compensation. These uses of cash were ~~slightly~~partially offset by ~~$21~~proceeds, net of issuance costs, of $1,481 million due to the issuances of $600 million of ~~proceeds from the exercise~~1.500% Notes due February 15, 2028, $600 million of ~~stock options.~~2.000% Notes due February 15, 2031 and $300 million of 3.125% Notes due February 15, 2051.

For the ~~six-month~~three-month period ended ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, net cash ~~provided by~~used for investing activities was ~~$799~~$25 million, comprised primarily of ~~$853 million of proceeds from the sale of Cabinetry, net of cash disposed, and $12 million from the finalization of working capital items on the sale of Milgard, partially offset by $45~~$30 million for capital ~~expenditures and $24 million for the acquisition of SmarTap, net of cash acquired.~~expenditures.

Our cash and cash investments were ~~$1,089~~$838 million and ~~$697 million~~$1.3 billion at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Our cash and cash investments consist of overnight interest-bearing money market demand accounts, time deposit accounts, and money market mutual funds containing government securities and treasury obligations.

Of the ~~$1,089~~$838 million and ~~$697 million~~$1.3 billion of cash and cash investments held at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019, $227~~2020, $338 million and ~~$297~~$385 million, respectively, was held in our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds were needed for our operations in the U.S., their repatriation into the U.S. would not result in significant additional U.S. income tax or foreign withholding tax, as we have recorded such taxes on substantially all undistributed foreign earnings, except for those that are legally restricted.

On March 13, 2019, we entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion and a maturity date of March 13, 2024. Under the Credit Agreement, at our request and subject to certain conditions, we can increase the aggregate commitment up to an additional $500 million with the current lenders or new lenders. ~~Upon entry into the Credit Agreement, our credit agreement dated March 28, 2013, as amended, with an aggregate commitment of $750 million, was terminated.~~ See Note I to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain (A) a net leverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not exceeding 4.0 to 1.0, and (B) a minimum interest coverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not less than 2.5 to 1.0. We were in compliance with all covenants and no borrowings were outstanding under our Credit Agreement at ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our cash flow and related liquidity, we work with suppliers to optimize our terms and conditions, including extending payment terms. We also facilitate a voluntary supply chain finance program (the "program") to provide certain of our suppliers with the opportunity to sell receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. A third party administers the program; our responsibility is limited to making payment on the terms originally negotiated with our supplier, regardless of whether the supplier sells its receivable to a financial institution. We do not enter into agreements with any of the participating financial institutions in connection with the program. The range of payment terms we negotiate with our suppliers is consistent, irrespective of whether a supplier participates in the program.

All outstanding payments owed under the program are recorded within accounts payable in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts owed to participating financial institutions under the program and included in accounts payable for our continuing operations were ~~$34~~$44 million and ~~$29~~$45 million at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. We account for all payments made under the program as a reduction to our cash flows from operations and reported within our (decrease) increase ~~(decrease)~~ in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, net, line within our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The amounts settled through the program and paid to participating financial institutions were ~~$60~~$46 million and ~~$64~~$30 million for our continuing operations during the ~~six-month~~three-month periods ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2021 and 2020, ~~and 2019,~~ respectively. A downgrade in our credit rating or changes in the financial markets could limit the financial institutions’ willingness to commit funds to, and participate in, the program. We do not believe such risk would have a material impact on our working capital or cash flows, as substantially all of our payments are made outside of the program.

The COVID-19 pandemic did not impact our financial performance during the second quarter of 2020 as significantly as we anticipated. We did, however, experience reduced customer and end-consumer demand for many of our products, as well as slowed operational activity at certain of our facilities, which resulted in production and distribution backlogs and reduced sales.

Many, but not all, of our businesses remained operating in the first half of 2020 because the products we provide are critical to infrastructure sectors and the day-to-day operations of homes and businesses in our communities as defined by applicable local orders. However, certain of our facilities experienced full closures ranging from a few days to several weeks, and some of these facilities continue to experience partial closures as a result of governmental orders or safety measures we have implemented. In addition, if certain governmental orders are reimposed or if we are required to close a facility for employee safety reasons, we could experience new or extended closures which might adversely impact our ability to produce and distribute our products. Finally, we may experience supply chain disruptions, particularly disruptions related to our ability to source plumbing, lighting and builders’ hardware products.

We anticipate that we will continue to experience an adverse impact to our results in 2020 due to continued economic contraction as a result of high unemployment levels and remaining or potential renewed shelter-in-place and social distancing orders. However, given our portfolio of lower ticket, repair and remodel-oriented products, we expect that demand for our products will be solid as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

We believe that our present cash balance, cash flows from operations, and borrowing availability under our Credit Agreement are sufficient to fund our near-term working capital and other investment needs. We ~~anticipate~~believe that our longer-term working capital and other general corporate requirements will be satisfied through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, from bank borrowings and future financial market activities. ~~However, due~~

COVID-19 IMPACT AND RESPONSE

During 2020, certain aspects of our businesses were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many, but not all, of our businesses remained operating because the products we provide are critical to ~~the highly uncertain nature, severity~~infrastructure sectors and ~~duration or resurgence~~day-to-day operations of homes and businesses in our communities as defined by applicable local orders. Operational activity that was previously slowed at certain of our facilities, as a result of the ~~COVID-19~~ pandemic and ~~its impact~~governmental orders, largely resumed operations at normal capacities enabling them to progress on ~~our customers, suppliers~~the fulfillment of production backlogs that developed as well as to meet current consumer demand, which has continued to be strong in the first quarter of 2021. Finally, we have and ~~employees, we are unable~~may continue to ~~fully estimate the extent of the impact it may have on our future financial condition.~~

In preparing this Form 10-Q, including our financial statements contained in this report, we made certain estimates and assumptions that affect or could have affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemicexperience supply chain disruptions, particularly disruptions related to our ~~business becomes more certain, we will update~~ability to source plumbing, lighting and ~~refine our estimates and assumptions, which could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures, and future revenues and expenses.~~builders’ hardware products.

We continue to be committed to the safety and well-being of our employees during this time, and, led by our cross-functional ~~COVID-19 task force,~~Infectious Illness Response Team, we ~~are employing~~have employed best practices and ~~following~~followed guidance from the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We have implemented and are continuing to implement alternative work arrangements to support the health and safety of our employees, including working remotely and avoiding large gatherings. In addition, we have modified work areas and workstations to provide protective measures for employees, are staggering shifts, requiring the use of face coverings, practicing social distancing and increasing the cleaning of our facilities, and in the event that we learn of an employee testing positive for COVID-19, we are completing contact tracing and requiring impacted employees to self-quarantine.

OUTLOOK FOR THE COMPANY

We continue to execute our strategies of leveraging our strong brand portfolio, industry-leading positions and the Masco Operating System, our methodology to drive growth and productivity, to create long-term shareholder value. We remain confident in the fundamentals of our business and long-term strategy. We believe that our strong financial position and cash flow generation, together with our investments in our industry-leading branded building products, our continued focus on innovation and disciplined capital allocation, will allow us to drive long-term growth and create value for our shareholders. ~~While we expect to experience softness in the short-term in our businesses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we remain confident in the fundamentals of our businesses.~~

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Information regarding legal proceedings involving us is set forth in Note P to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the reader should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Other than the risk factor set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes into the ~~Company's~~ risk factors ~~from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A~~ of the ~~Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.~~

~~The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is disrupting our business, and has and may continue to adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.~~

~~The spread of COVID-19 has created a global health crisis that has resulted~~Company set forth in ~~widespread disruption to economic activity, both in the U.S. and globally.~~

We operate facilities in the United States and around the world which are being adversely affected by this pandemic. The U.S. federal government and numerous state, local and foreign governments implemented certain measures to attempt to slow and limit the spread of COVID-19, including shelter-in-place and social distancing orders. Due to such measures we have experienced, and may continue to experience, the closure of certain of our facilities and decreased employee availability, which has resulted and may continue to result in delays in our ability to produce and distribute our products.

~~In addition, COVID-19 has adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect domestic and international economic activity, which may reduce future consumer demand for our products.~~

Due to the highly uncertain nature and potential duration or resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to fully estimate the extent of the impact it may have on our business at this time. The extent of such impact will depend on a number of factors, including the duration and severity or a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, its effect on our customers, suppliers and employees, its effect on domestic and international economies and markets and the response of governmental authorities. While we are continuing to take action to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations, including through cost reduction measures and other initiatives, the effectiveness of our mitigation efforts remains uncertain. The continued disruption of our operations and an on-going slowdown in domestic and international economic activity could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

~~To the extent COVID-19 continues to adversely impact our business, financial position and results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening certain of the other risks described Part 1,~~ Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019, such as those relating to our international operations and global strategies, our dependence on third-party suppliers, and compliance with covenants under our credit facility.~~2020.
