NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

References to “Fortune Brands,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole, unless the context otherwise requires.

The Company is a leading home and security products company with a portfolio of leading branded products used for residential home repair, remodeling, new construction and security applications.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and equity for the ninethree months ended March 31, 2022 and three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 20162021, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and equity for the nine-month periodsthree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 20162021 are unaudited. The presentation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements have been included. Interim results may not be indicative of results for a full year.

In the first quarter of 2022, our Plumbing segment was renamed “Water Innovations” in order to better align with our key brands and organizational purpose. The Plumbing segment name change is to the name only and had no impact on the Company’s historical financial position, results of operations, cash flow or segment level results previously reported.

In January 2022, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Solar Innovations LLC and an affiliated entity (together, "Solar"), a leading producer of wide-opening exterior door systems and outdoor enclosures, for a purchase price of approximately $63 million. The purchase price is subject to a final post-closing working capital adjustment. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The results of Solar are reported as part of the Outdoors & Security segment. Its complementary product offerings supports the segment’s outdoor living strategy.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not contain certain information included in our annual audited consolidated financial statements and notes. The December 31, 20162021 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from theour audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This Quarterly Report on Form10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021.

Disclosures by Business Entities About Government Assistance

In July 2017, we acquired Shaws Since1897 Limited (“Shaws”), aUK-based luxury plumbing products company that specializes in manufacturing and selling fireclay sinks and selling brassware and accessories in partnership with Perrin & Rowe. This acquisition broadened our plumbing portfolio and enhanced future growth opportunities. Net sales and operating income in the three months ended September 30, 2017 were not material to the Company. The financial results of Shaws were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2017, the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017, and statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

In September 2016, we acquired ROHL LLC (“ROHL”) and in a related transaction, we acquired TCL Manufacturing which gave us ownership of Perrin & Rowe Limited (“Perrin & Rowe”). In addition, in May 2016, we acquired Riobel Inc (“Riobel”). The financial results of ROHL, Perrin & Rowe, and Riobel were included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017, and statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

2.Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014,November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”("ASU")2014-09, which clarifies 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832). The new guidance, codified in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 832, requires business entities that account for transactions with a government by applying a grant or contribution model by analogy to disclose information about government assistance recorded during the accountingperiod. ASU 2021-10 is effective for revenue arising from contracts with customers and specifies the disclosures that an entity should include in its financial statements. The standard is effectiveall entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (calendar year 2018 for Fortune Brands)2021. During 2016, the FASB issued certain amendments to the standard relating to the principal versus agentThe adoption of this guidance accounting for licenses of intellectual property and identifying performance obligations as well as the guidance on transition, collectability, noncash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. The effective date and transition requirements for these amendments are the same as those of the original ASU. We have elected the modified retrospective transition approach and also have identified focus areas for each of our reporting segments and have made substantial progress in our assessment of the accounting and financial reporting implications as of September 30, 2017. Our key considerations pursuant to ASU 2014-09 are the control of goods (i.e., timing of revenue recognition), separate performance obligations, customer rights of return (i.e., the reclassification on the balance sheet of the customer rights of return from accounts receivable to a refund liability as well as the recognition of a corresponding asset) and our accounting for display assets. We do not expect the change in accounting related to these considerations todid not have a material effect on our financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a“right-of-use” asset and lease liability but recognize related expenses in a manner similar to current accounting. The guidance also eliminates current real estate-specific provisions for all entities. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (calendar year 2019 for Fortune Brands) and earlier application is permitted. We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.6

Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-12, that amends current hedge accounting model. The new standard eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item (consistent with our current practice). The change in fair value for qualifying cash flow and net investment hedges will be included in Other comprehensive income (until they are reclassified into the income statement). The standard also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of the hedge effectiveness. Standard is effective as of January 1, 2019 and earlier application is permitted. We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

3. Balance Sheet Information

Clarifying Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASC610-20 that clarifies the scope and application of various standards for the sale of nonfinancial assets (e.g. PP&E including real estate, intangible assets, materials and supplies). The standard distinguishes between a sale to customer vsnon-customer. Sales to customers are in scope of the new revenue standard. It also clarifies a derecognition model for nonfinancial assets that do not represent a business. The standard is effective as of January 1, 2018 consistent with the effective date for the new revenue recognition standard. We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements and we will consider the implications of the new standard on case by case basis for allnon-recurring transactions where we sell or transfer nonfinancial assets.

Stock Compensation Scope of Modification Accounting

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-09, which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. The new guidance provides a relief to entities that makenon-substantive changes to their share-based payment awards and will result in fewer changes to the terms of an award being accounted for as modifications. The standard is effective January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted; however we have elected not to early adopt. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Presentation of Net Periodic Pension and Postretirement Cost

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-07, which requires entities to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will present the other components (i.e., interest cost, expected return on plan assets and actuarial gains/losses) separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income. The standard is effective January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-04, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment for all entities. Under the new standard, if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an entity will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The standard eliminates the current requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount (i.e., hypothetical purchase price allocation). The new standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in the periods beginning after January 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. We plan to early adopt ASU2017-04 in conjunction with our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2017.

2.Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Continued)

Clarifying the Definition of a Business

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-01, which changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business and therefore business combination guidance would apply. The new standard requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset (i.e., a business) or a group of similar identifiable assets (i.e., not a business). The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs (e.g., revenues with customers). The standard is effective January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-18, according to which entities are no longer required to present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The prior standard did not address the classification of activity related to restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows, which has resulted in diversity in the presentation of cash flows. The standard is effective January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted; however, we elected not to early adopt. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-16, which requires companies to account for the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers of assets other than inventory (e.g., intangible assets) when the transfer occurs. Under the current guidance, companies are required to defer the income tax effects of intercompany transfers of assets until the asset has been sold to an outside party or otherwise recognized (e.g., depreciated, amortized or impaired). The standard is effective January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted; however, we elected not to early adopt. The transition method will be a “modified retrospective” (i.e., with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings at adoption). We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-15, which changes how an entity classifies certain cash receipts and cash payments on its statement of cash flows. The key changes that may potentially impact our financial statements include the following: 1) Cash payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment costs would be classified as financing cash outflows; 2) Contingent consideration payments that are not made within three months after the consummation of a business combination would be classified as financing (if the payment is made up to the acquisition date fair value of liability) or operating outflows (if in excess of acquisition fair value). Cash payments made “soon after” the consummation of a business combination generally would be classified as cash outflows for investing activities; 3) Insurance settlement proceeds would be classified based on the nature of the loss; and 4) Company-owned life insurance settlement proceeds would be presented as investing cash inflows, and premiums would be classified as investing or operating cash outflows, or a combination of both. The new standard is effective January 1, 2018 and should be adopted retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted; however, we elected not to early adopt. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables and loans as well asoff-balance-sheet credit exposures (e.g., loan commitments and standby letters of credit). The standard will replace the “incurred loss” approach under the current guidance with an “expected loss” model that requires an entity to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss.” The standard is effective January 1, 2020 and early application is permitted beginning January 1, 2019. We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-01, which requires entities to measure investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) at fair value through the income statement. There will no longer be anavailable-for-sale classification (with changes in fair value reported in Other Comprehensive Income). In addition, the cost method is eliminated for equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The new standard is effective January 1, 2018. Early application is permitted for certain provisions of the standard; however, we elected not to early adopt. We do not expect this standard to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Amortizable identifiable intangible assets, principally tradenames and customer relationships, are subject to amortization on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, ranging from 25 to 30 years, based on the assessment of a number of factors that may impact useful life. These factors include historical and tradename performance with respect to consumer name recognition, geographic market presence, market share, plans for ongoing tradename support and promotion,life, which includes customer attrition rates and other relevant factors.

Credit Facilities

In November 2021, the Company entered into a 364-day, $400 million term loan credit agreement (“2021 Term Loan”), for general corporate purposes, to mature in November 2022. On March 1, 2022, the Company entered into a First Amendment and Incremental Agreement to the 2021 Term Loan (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment provided for an increase in the principal amount from $400 million to $600 million as well as the transition from LIBOR to SOFR interest rates. As of December 31, 2016,a result, interest rates under the fair value of one2021 Term Loan were variable based on SOFR at the time of the tradenamesborrowing and the Company’s long-term credit rating and could range from SOFR + 0.725% to SOFR + 1.350%. On March 18, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amendment and Incremental Agreement to the 2021 Term Loan (the “Second Amendment”), increasing the principal amount from $600 million to $1.1 billion. All other terms and conditions remained the same under the First Amendment and Second Amendment. Proceeds from the increased 2021 Term Loan were used to repay outstanding balances under the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement (as described below). The outstanding $1.1 billion under the 2021 Term Loan was repaid on March 25, 2022 with proceeds from the notes offering in the Cabinets segment and one of the tradenames in the Doors segment exceeded their carrying value by less than 10%. In the second quarter of 2017, we performed an interim impairment test on the tradename in the Cabinets segment and concluded the fair value continues to exceed its carrying value. A further reduction in fair value of these tradenames may result in an impairment charge in future periods. As of September 30, 2017, the carrying values of these tradenames was $168 million.We did not identify any impairment triggers during the third quarter of 2017. In addition to evaluating the interim events that may require more frequent impairment testing, we will conduct our annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2017.

The Company cannot predict the occurrence of certain events that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwillMarch 2022 (as described above) and other intangible assets. The events and/or circumstances that could haveexisting sources of liquidity.

In September 2019, the Company entered into a potential negative effect on the estimated fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived tradenames include: actual new construction and repair and remodel growth rates that lag our assumptions, actions of key customers, volatility of discount rates, continued economic uncertainty, higher levels of unemployment, weak consumer confidence, lower levels of discretionary consumer spending, a decrease in royalty rates and decline in the trading price of our common stock. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

6.Asset Impairment

In January 2017, we committed to a plan to sell Field ID, our cloud-based inspection and safety compliance software product line included in our Security segment. In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, as a result of our decision to sell, during the first quarter of 2017 we recorded $3.2 million ofpre-tax impairment charges to write down the long-lived assets included in this disposal group to fair value, based upon their estimated fair value less cost to sell. These charges consisted of approximately $3.0 million for definite-lived intangible assets and $0.2 million for fixed assets. We completed the sale of Field ID in April 2017 (See Note 4).

7.External Debt and Financing Arrangements

In June 2016, the Companysecond amended and restated its credit agreement to combine and rollover the existing$1.25 billion revolving credit facility and term loan into a new standalone $1.25 billion revolving credit facility. This amendment of the credit agreement was anon-cash transaction for the Company. Terms and conditions of the amended and restated credit agreement, including the total commitment amount, essentially remained the same. As a result of the refinancing, wewrote-off prepaid debt issuance costs of approximately $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The revolving credit facility will mature in June 2021(the “2019 Revolving Credit Agreement”), and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes. On The maturity date of the facility is September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our outstanding borrowings under this facility were $570.0 million and $540.0 million, respectively. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the current portion of long-term debt was zero. 2024. Interest rates under the facility2019 Revolving Credit Agreement are variable based on LIBOR at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s long-term credit rating and can range from LIBOR + 0.9%0.91% to LIBOR + 1.5%1.4%.Under the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 3.0 to 1.0. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, losses from asset impairments, and certain other one-time adjustments. In addition, the Company's ratio of consolidated debt minus certain cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA generally may not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. On March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our outstanding borrowings under this facility were $150.0 million and $520.0 million, respectively. This facility is included in Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.

7.External Debt and Financing Arrangements (Continued)

In June 2015, we issued $900 million of unsecured senior notes (“Senior Notes”) in a registered public offering. The Senior Notes consist of two tranches: $400 million of five-year notes due 2020 with a coupon of 3% and $500 million often-year notes due 2025 with a coupon of 4%. We used the proceeds from the Senior Notes offering to pay down our revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. On September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying value of the Senior Notes, net of underwriting commissions, price discounts and debt issuance costs, was $892.2 million and $891.1 million, respectively.

We currently have uncommitted bank lines of credit in China, which provide for unsecured borrowings for working capital of up to $25.7$17.5 million in aggregate, of which there were no0 outstanding balances as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016.2021.

8.Financial Instruments

Commercial Paper

In November 2021, the Company established a commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) pursuant to which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes. The Company’s 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement is the liquidity backstop for the repayment of any notes issued under the Commercial Paper Program, and as such, borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program are included in Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, with the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, including borrowings under the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement, not to exceed $1.25 billion. The Company plans to use net proceeds from any issuances under the Commercial Paper Program for general corporate purposes. On March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 our outstanding borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program were $547.3 million and 0, respectively.

7. Financial Instruments

We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We principally use financial instruments to reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodities used as raw materials in our products. The principal derivative financial instruments we enter into on a routine basis are foreign exchange contracts. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value. The counterparties to derivative contracts are major financial institutions. We are subject to credit risk on these contracts equal to the fair value of these instruments. Management currently believes that the risk of incurring material losses is unlikely and that the losses, if any, would be immaterial to the Company.

Raw materials used by the Company are subject to price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, geopolitical and economic variables, and other unpredictable external factors. As a result, from time to time, we enter into commodity swaps to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in our operations.

We may be exposed to interest rate risk on existing debt or forecasted debt issuance. To mitigate this risk, we may enter into interest rate hedge contracts. As of March 31, 2022, we had outstanding interest rate hedges with a notional value of $600 million which have been accounted for as cash flow hedges.

We terminated $600 million of interest rate hedges within the quarter, concurrent with the issuance of new long-term debt. Total realized pre-tax gains of $39.0 million related to these interest rate hedges have been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be reclassified to earnings over the related maturity of the related interest rate hedging instrument.

Our primary foreign currency hedge contracts pertain to the Canadian dollar, the British pound, the Mexican peso and the Chinese yuan and the Euro.yuan. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all foreign currency derivative hedges outstanding at September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 was $190.2 million, representing a net settlement payable of $2.3$592.5 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, we estimate that $1.2$2.7 million of net foreign currency derivative lossesgains included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.

8. Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC requirements for FairFair Value Measurements and Disclosures establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Level 1 inputs, the highest priority, are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs reflect inputs other than quoted prices included in levelLevel 1 that are either observable directly or through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, due to little or no0 market activity for the asset or liability, such as internally-developed valuation models. We do not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that are levelLevel 3.

12.Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 29.5% and 28.2%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate reflected a lower tax benefit on share-based compensation, partially offset by a valuation allowance release related to state deferred tax assets. In addition, the effective tax rates in both periods were favorably impacted by a tax benefit attributable to the Domestic Production Activity (Internal Revenue Code Section 199) Deduction, favorable tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, and a benefit associated with the U.S. research and development credit, offset by state and local taxes and increases to uncertain tax positions.

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 20162021 were 31.6%22.3% and 28.6%20.5%, respectively.

The increase indifference between the Company’s Q1 2022 effective income tax rate reflected a lowerand the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily relates to state income taxes (net of federal income tax benefit on share-based compensation,benefit), foreign income taxed at higher rates, partially offset by a valuation allowance releasefavorable benefit related to state deferred tax assets. In addition, the effective tax rates in both periods were favorably impacted by a tax benefit attributable to the Domestic Production Activity (Internal Revenue Code Section 199) Deduction, favorable tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, and a benefit associated with the U.S. research and development credit, offset by state and local taxes and increases to uncertain tax positions.share-based compensation.

It is reasonably possible that, within the next 12 months, total unrecognized tax benefits may decrease up to $1.5 million, primarily as a result of the conclusion of pending U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax proceedings.

OVERVIEW

References to “Fortune Brands,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole, unless the context otherwise requires. The Company is a leader inleading home and security products focused on the design, manufacture and salecompany with a portfolio of market-leadingleading branded products used for residential home repair, remodeling, new construction and security applications.

On April 28, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the Company to develop a plan to separate the Company into two independent, publicly-traded companies via a tax-free spin-off of the MasterBrand Cabinets, Inc. business into a separate standalone publicly-traded company (the "Spin-Off"). The separation is expected to be completed in approximately twelve

months, subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors and customary closing conditions, including the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 to be filed with the SEC to register the shares to be issued in the following categories: kitchenSpin-Off. Upon completion, stockholders would hold interests in two separate companies, which at present, will be publicly referred to as “New Fortune Brands” and bath cabinetry, plumbing and accessories, entry door systems and security products.“Cabinets” or “Cabinet Company”.

We believe that the Company has certain competitive advantages including market-leading brands, a diversified mix of channels, lean and flexible supply chains, a decentralized business model and a strong capital structure, as well as a tradition of strong innovation and customer service. We are focused on outperforming our markets in growth, profitability and returns in order to drive increased shareholderstockholder value. We believe the Company’s track record reflects the long-term attractiveness and potential of ourthe categories we serve and our leading brands. As consumer demand and the housing market continue to grow, we expect the benefits of operatingoperational leverage and strategic spending to support increased manufacturing capacity and long-term growth initiatives will help us to continue to achieve profitable organic growth.

OVERVIEW (Continued)

We continue to believe our most attractive opportunities are to invest in profitable organic growth initiatives. We also believe that as the market grows, we have the potential to generate additional growth from leveraging our cash flow and balance sheet by pursuinginitiatives, pursue accretive strategic acquisitions, non-controlling equity investments, and joint ventures, and by returningreturn cash to shareholdersstockholders through a combination of dividends and repurchases of shares of our common stock repurchases under our share repurchase programsprogram as explained in further detail under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

The U.S. market for our home products primarily consists of spending on both new home construction and repair and remodel activities within existing homes, with thea substantial majority of the markets we serve consisting of repair and remodel spending. We believe thatContinued growth in the U.S. market for our home products is in the midst of an elongated recovery from the U.S. economic recession that ended inmid-2009 and that a continued recovery will largely depend on consumer confidence, employment, wage growth, home prices, stable mortgage rates and credit availability. Over the long term, we believe that the U.S. home products market will benefit from favorable population

We have been and immigration trends, which will drive demand for new housing units, and from an aging existing housing stock that willmay continue to need to be repaired and remodeled.

We may be impacted by fluctuations in raw materialnear-term supply, labor and transportation costs, changesfreight constraints, a volatile global supply chain environment, as well as sustained increased rates of inflation, unfavorable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and promotional activity among our competitors.the ongoing costs of tariffs. We strivecontinue to manage these challenges and are diligently working to offset the potential unfavorable impactimpacts of these items withthrough continuous productivity improvement initiatives and price increases.

In July 2017,the first quarter of 2022, our Plumbing segment was renamed “Water Innovations” in order to better align with our key brands and organizational purpose. The Plumbing segment name change had no impact on the Company’s historical financial position, results of operations, cash flow or segment-level results previously reported.

In January 2022, we acquired Shaws Since1897 Limited (“Shaws”100% of the outstanding equity of Solar Innovations LLC and an affiliated entity (together, "Solar"), aUK-based luxury plumbing products company that specializes in manufacturing leading producer of wide-opening exterior door systems and selling fireclay sinks and selling brassware and accessories in partnership with Perrin & Rowe.outdoor enclosures, for a purchase price of approximately $63 million. The purchase price is subject to a final post-closing working capital adjustment. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our existingrevolving credit facilities. This acquisition broadened our plumbing portfolio and enhanced future growth opportunities. Net sales and operating income in the three months ended September 30, 2017 were not material to the Company.facility. The results of the operationsSolar are included in the Plumbing segment.

During the third quarter of 2016, we created the Global Plumbing Group (“GPG”), which was designed to support the growth of multiple plumbing brands with an enhanced set of products and brands, while leveraging Moen’s existing global supply chain and broad distribution network.

In September 2016, we acquired ROHL LLC (“ROHL”), a California-based luxury plumbing company and in a related transaction, we acquired TCL Manufacturing Ltd, which gave us ownership of Perrin & Rowe Limited, a UK manufacturer and designer of luxury kitchen and bathroom plumbing products. The total combined purchase price was approximately $166 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. We financed both acquisitions using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility. These transactions broadened the plumbing portfolio and enhanced future growth opportunities.

In June 2016, we amended and restated our credit agreement to combine and rollover our existing revolving credit facility and term loan into a new standalone $1.25 billion revolving credit facility.

The following discussion of consolidated results of operations and segment results refers to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Consolidated results of operations should be read in conjunction with segment results of operations.

Net sales

Net sales increased $217.5 million, or 5.9%. The increase was due to higher sales volume primarily from the continuing improvement in U.S. market conditions for home products, new product introductions, the benefits from the acquisitions in our Plumbing segment and price increases to help mitigate cumulative raw material cost increases. These benefits were partially offset by unfavorable mix, higher sales promotions, sales rebates and unfavorable foreign exchange of approximately $4 million.

Cost of products sold

Cost of products sold increased $108.5 million, or 4.6%, due to higher net sales, including the impact of the acquisitions in our Plumbing segment and raw material cost increases, partially offset by the benefit of productivity improvements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $46.3 million, or 5.6%, due to higher employee-related costs and advertising costs as well as the impact of the acquisitions in our Plumbing segment.

30


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Amortization of intangible assets

Amortization of intangible assets increased $3.2 million primarily due to the acquisitions in our Plumbing segment, partially offset by a decrease relating to a definite-lived customer relationship intangible in our Doors segment that was fully amortized during the second quarter of 2017.

Loss on sale of product line

In April 2017, we completed the sale of Field ID, our cloud-based inspection and safety compliance software product line included in our Security segment. We recorded apre-tax loss of $2.4 million as the result of this sale.

Asset impairment charges

Asset impairment charges of $3.2 million relate to our decision in the first quarter of 2017 to sell Field ID, our cloud-based inspection and safety compliance software product line included in our Security segment.

Restructuring charges

Restructuring charges of $3.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily relates to severance costs within our Security and Plumbing segments. Restructuring charges in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $12.4 million and primarily related to severance costs and charges associated with supply chain initiatives within our Security segment.

Operating income

Operating income increased $62.8 million, or 13.5%, primarily due to higher net sales, including the benefits from the acquisitions in our Plumbing segment and productivity improvements. These benefits were partially offset by unfavorable mix, higher employee-related, raw material and advertising costs.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $1.0 million to $36.5 million primarily due to the absence in 2017 of thewrite-off of debt issuance costs of approximately $1.3 million incurred during 2016.

Other (income) expense, net

Other (income) expense, net, was expense of $0.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to income of $0.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Income taxes

The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 29.5% and 28.2%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate reflected a lower tax benefit on share-based compensation, partially offset by a valuation allowance release related to state deferred tax assets. In addition, the effective tax rates in both periods were favorably impacted by a tax benefit attributable to the Domestic Production Activity (Internal Revenue Code Section 199) Deduction, favorable tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, and a benefit associated with the U.S. research and development credit, offset by state and local taxes and increases to uncertain tax positions.

Net income from continuing operations

Net income from continuing operations was $347.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $308.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase of $39.3 million was primarily due to higher operating income.

31


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Loss from discontinued operations

The loss from discontinued operations of $2.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily related to the prior sale of the Waterloo tool storage and Simonton window businesses. The income from discontinued operations of $1.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included the effect of tax adjustments relating to the Waterloo business.

Results by Segment

Cabinets

Net sales increased $44.0 million, or 2.4%, due to higher sales volume driven primarily by continuing improvement in the U.S. home products market and the benefit from new product introductions and price increases to help mitigate cumulative raw material cost increases. These benefits were partially offset by unfavorable mix and higher sales promotions.

Operating income increased $11.4 million, or 5.9%, due to the increase in net sales and productivity improvements. These benefits were partially offset by unfavorable mix and higher employee-related costs.

Plumbing

Net sales increased $143.5 million, or 13.0%, due to higher sales volume driven by continuing improvement in the U.S. home products market and the benefit from new product introductions, higher sales in international markets, principally China, and the benefit from the acquisitions of Riobel, ROHL and Perrin & Rowe in 2016 as well as Shaws in 2017. These benefits were partially offset by higher sales rebates and unfavorable foreign exchange of approximately $4 million.

Operating income increased $28.2 million, or 11.6%, due to higher net sales, productivity improvements and favorable mix. These benefits were partially offset by higher employee-related costs, raw material costs and advertising costs.

Doors

Net sales increased $22.9 million, or 6.5%, due to higher sales volume driven primarily by continuing improvement in the U.S. home products market and the benefit from new product introductions and price increases to help mitigate cumulative raw material cost increases.

Security

Net sales increased $7.1 million, or 1.7%, due to higher sales volume and price increases to help mitigate cumulative raw material cost increases. These benefits were partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange of approximately $1 million and by the impact of our exiting of two product lines in our commercial distribution channel.

Operating income increased $11.7 million, or 26.2%, primarily due to productivity improvements, lower restructuring and other charges (approximately $10 million) relating to the completion in 2016 of a manufacturing facility relocation and the related cost savings resulting from the facility relocation, as well as higher net sales. These benefits were partially offset by higher raw material costs.

Corporate

Corporate expenses decreased by $1.8 million predominantly due to recognition of an actuarial gain versus an actuarial loss in the prior year and higher defined benefit plan income during 2017 in comparison to prior year.

In future periods the Company may record, in the Corporate segment, material expense or income associated with actuarial gains and losses arising from periodic remeasurement of our liabilities for defined benefit plans. At a minimum, the Company will remeasure its defined benefit plan liabilities in the fourth quarter of each year. Remeasurements due to plan amendments and settlements may also occur in interim periods during the year. Remeasurement of these liabilities attributable to updating our liability discount rates and expected return on assets may, in particular, result in material income or expense recognition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash on hand, cash flows from operating activitiesoperations, borrowing availability and availability under our credit facilities. Our operating income is generated by our subsidiaries. Thereoverall liquidity are no restrictions onsubject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described in the abilitysection of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Fortune Brands.Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2021 entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” In December 2016, our Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend by 13% to $0.18 per share of our outstanding common stock. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate dividend payment opportunities on a quarterly basis. There can be no assurance as to when and if future dividends will be paid, and at what level, because the payment of dividends is dependent on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

In the first nine months of 2017, we repurchased 2.8 million shares of our outstanding common stock under the Company’s share repurchase programs for $173.7 million. As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s total remaining share repurchase authorization under the repurchase programs was approximately $347 million. The share repurchase programs do not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

We periodically review our portfolio of brands and evaluate potential strategic transactions and other capital initiatives to increase shareholder value. However,addition, we cannot predict whether or when we may enter into acquisitions, joint ventures or dispositions, make any purchases of shares of our common stock under our share repurchase programs, or pay dividends, or what impact any such transactions could have on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, whether as a result of the issuance of debt or equity securities, or otherwise.

Credit Facilities

In November 2021, the Company entered into a 364-day, $400 million term loan credit agreement (the “2021 Term Loan”), for general corporate purposes, to mature in November 2022. On March 1, 2022, the Company entered into a First Amendment and Incremental Agreement to the 2021 Term Loan (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment provided for an increase in the principal amount from $400 million to $600 million as well as the transition from LIBOR to SOFR interest rates. As a result, interest rates under the 2021 Term Loan were variable based on SOFR at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s long-term credit rating and could range from SOFR + 0.725% to SOFR + 1.350%. On March 18, 2022, the Company entered into a Second Amendment and Incremental Agreement to the 2021 Term Loan (the “Second Amendment”), increasing the principal amount from $600 million to $1.1 billion. All other terms and conditions remained the same under the First Amendment and Second Amendment. Proceeds from the increased 2021 Term Loan were used to repay outstanding balances on the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement (as defined below). The outstanding $1.1 billion under the 2021 Term Loan was repaid on March 25, 2022 with proceeds from the 2022 Notes and other existing sources of liquidity.

In September 2019, the Company entered into a second amended and restated $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “2019 Revolving Credit Agreement”), and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes. The maturity date of the facility is September 2024. Interest rates under the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement are variable based on LIBOR at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s long-term credit rating and can range from LIBOR + 0.91% to LIBOR + 1.4%. Under the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 3.0 to 1.0. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, losses from asset impairments, and certain other one-time adjustments. In addition, the Company's ratio of consolidated debt minus certain cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA generally may not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. On March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our Annual Report on Form10-Koutstanding borrowings under this facility were $150.0 million and $520.0

22


million, respectively. This facility is included in Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.

Commercial Paper

In November 2021, the Company established a commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) pursuant to which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes. The Company’s 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement is the liquidity backstop for the year-endedrepayment of any notes issued under the Commercial Paper Program, and as such, borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program are included in Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, with the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, including borrowings under the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement, not to exceed $1.25 billion. The Company plans to use net proceeds from any issuances under the Commercial Paper Program for general corporate purposes. On March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2016 entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Acquisitions in 2017 and 2016 included:

In October 2017, the Company acquired Victoria + Albert, a UK manufacturer of luxury freestanding tubs and basins. The results of operations of the acquired company will be included in the Plumbing segment from the date of acquisition. This acquisition will not have a material effect on net sales or operating income.

In July 2017, we acquired Shaws Since1897 Limited, a U.K.-based company that specializes in the design, production and marketing of luxury fire-clay kitchen sinks. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and2021 our outstanding borrowings under our existing credit facilities. Net salesthe Commercial Paper Program were $547.3 million and operating income in the three months ended September 30, 2017 were not material to the Company.

In September 2016, we acquired ROHL, a California-based luxury plumbing companyCash and in a related transaction, we acquired TCL Manufacturing Ltd, which gave us ownership of Perrin & Rowe, a UK manufacturer and designer of luxury kitchen and bathroom plumbing products. The total combined purchase price was approximately $166 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. We financed both acquisitions using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility.
Seasonality

In May 2016, we acquired Riobel, a Canadian plumbing company specializing in premium showroom bath and shower fittings, for a total purchase price of $94.6 million in cash. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facilities.

On September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $277.1$378.2 million, of which $257.9$305.5 million was held atnon-U.S. subsidiaries. We manage our global cash requirements considering (i) available funds among the subsidiaries through which we conduct business, (ii) the geographic location of our liquidity needs, and (iii) the cost to access international cash balances. The repatriation ofnon-U.S. cash balances from certain subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences as we may be required to pay and record income tax expense on those funds to the extent they were previously considered indefinitely reinvested.

that are repatriated.

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

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

Share Repurchases

On March 2, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $750 million shares of our common stock over the two years ending March 2, 2024. In the first quarter of 2022, we repurchased 4.3 million shares of our outstanding common stock under the Company’s share repurchase program for $379.5 million. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s total remaining share repurchase authorization under its share repurchase program was approximately $785.2 million. The share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Dividends

In the first quarter of 2022, we paid dividends in the first quarter.amount of $37.2 million to the Company’s stockholders. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate dividend payment opportunities on a quarterly basis. There can be no assurance as to when and if future dividends will be paid, and at what level, because the payment of dividends is dependent on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. There are no restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Fortune Brands.

Net cash used by financing activities was $223.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $9.5$18.5 million in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2021. The increase in cash used of $214$95.9 million during 2017reflects the Solar Innovations acquisition in January 2022 ($61.6 million), and a planned increase in capital expenditures, partly offset by the proceeds from the sale of a previously closed manufacturing facility.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $203.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $22.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in cash provided of $180.4 million was primarily due to lowerhigher net borrowings of $384in 2022 compared to 2021 ($550.5 million and higher dividends of $9 million, partiallyincrease), partly offset by lowerhigher share repurchases in 20172022 compared to 2016 ($189 million decrease). Additionally, during the third quarter 2017, we paid deferred acquisition payments totaling $12.4 million (net of certain working capital and other adjustments) relating to the ROHL and Perrin & Rowe acquisitions.2021.

Pension Plans

SubsidiariesCertain subsidiaries of Fortune Brands sponsor defined benefit pension plans. These subsidiaries fund their respective defined benefit pension plans that are funded bywith a portfolio of investments maintained within our benefit plan trust. As of December 31, 2016,2021, the aggregate fair value of our total pension plan assets was $577.7$816.0 million, representing 73%92% of the accumulated benefit obligation liability. In 2017,2022, we expect to make total pension contributions of approximately $25 million of which $22 million has been paid as of September 30, 2017.$10 million. For the foreseeable future, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to meet the minimum funding that may be required by the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

Foreign Exchange

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

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FinancialThe adoption of recent accounting standards, as discussed in Note 2, “Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2014-09, which clarifies the accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, has not had and specifies the disclosures that an entity should include in its financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (calendar year 2018 for Fortune Brands). During 2016, the FASB issued certain amendments to the standard relating to the principal versus agent guidance, accounting for licenses of intellectual property and identifying performance obligations as well as the guidance on transition, collectability, noncash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. The effective date and transition requirements for these amendments are the same as those of the original ASU. We have elected the modified retrospective transition approach and also have identified focus areas for each of our reporting segments and have made substantial progress in our assessment of the accounting and financial reporting implications as of September 30, 2017. Our key considerations pursuant toASU 2014-09 are the control of goods (i.e., timing of revenue recognition), separate performance obligations, customer rights of return (i.e., the reclassification on the balance sheet of the customer rights of return from accounts receivable to a refund liability as well as the recognition of a corresponding asset) and our accounting for display assets. We do not expect the change in accounting related to these considerationsexpected to have a material effectsignificant impact on our financial statements.revenue, earnings or liquidity.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a“right-of-use” asset and lease liability but recognize related expenses in a manner similar to current accounting. The guidance also eliminates current real estate-specific provisions for all entities. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 (calendar year 2019 for Fortune Brands) and earlier application is permitted. We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.24

Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-12, that amends current hedge accounting model. The new standard eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item (consistent with our current practice). The change in fair value for qualifying cash flow and net investment hedges will be included in Other comprehensive income (until they are reclassified into the income statement). The standard also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The standard is effective as of January 1, 2019 and earlier application is permitted. We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued)

Clarifying Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASC610-20 that clarifies the scope and application of various standards for the sale of nonfinancial assets (e.g. PP&E including real estate, intangible assets, materials and supplies). The standard distinguishes between a sale to customer vsnon-customer. Sales to customers are in scope of the new revenue standard. It also clarifies a derecognition model for nonfinancial assets that do not represent a business. The standard is effective as of January 1, 2018 consistent with the effective date for the new revenue recognition standard. We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements and we will consider the implications of the new standard on case by case basis for allnon-recurring transactions where we sell or transfer nonfinancial assets.

Stock Compensation Scope of Modification Accounting

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-09, which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. The new guidance provides a relief to entities that makenon-substantive changes to their share-based payment awards and will result in fewer changes to the terms of an award being accounted for as modifications. The standard is effective January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted, however we elected not to early adopt. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Presentation of Net Periodic Pension and Postretirement Cost

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-07, which requires entities to present the service cost component of the net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. Employers will present the other components (i.e., interest cost, expected return on plan assets and actuarial gains/losses) separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income. The standard is effective January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-04, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment for all entities. Under the new standard, if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an entity will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The standard eliminates the current requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount (i.e., hypothetical purchase price allocation). The standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in the periods beginning after January 1, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. We plan to early adopt ASU2017-04 in conjunction with our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2017.

41


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued)

Clarifying the Definition of a Business

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-01, which changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business and therefore business combination guidance would apply. The new standard requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset (i.e., a business) or a group of similar identifiable assets (i.e., not a business). The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs (e.g., revenues with customers). The standard is effective January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-18, according to which entities are no longer required to present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The prior standard did not address the classification of activity related to restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows which has resulted in diversity in cash flows presentation. The standard is effective January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted; however, we elected not to early adopt. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-16, which requires companies to account for the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers of assets other than inventory (e.g., intangible assets) when the transfer occurs. Under the current guidance companies are required to defer the income tax effects of intercompany transfers of assets until the asset has been sold to an outside party or otherwise recognized (e.g., depreciated, amortized or impaired). The standard is effective January 1, 2018 and early adoption is permitted; however, we elected not to early adopt. The transition method will be a “modified retrospective” (i.e., with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings at adoption). We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments

In September 2016 the FASB issued ASU2016-15, which changes how an entity classifies certain cash receipts and cash payments on its statement of cash flows. The key changes that may potentially impact our financial statements include the following: 1) Cash payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment costs would be classified as financing cash outflows; 2) Contingent consideration payments that are not made within three months after the consummation of a business combination would be classified as financing (if the payment is made up to the acquisition date fair value of liability) or operating outflows (if in excess of acquisition fair value). Cash payments made “soon after” the consummation of a business combination generally would be classified as cash outflows for investing activities; 3) Insurance settlement proceeds would be classified based on the nature of the loss; and 4) Company-owned life insurance settlement proceeds would be presented as investing cash inflows, and premiums would be classified as investing or operating cash outflows, or a combination of both. The new standard is effective January 1, 2018 and should be adopted retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted; however, we elected not to early adopt. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our financial statements.

42


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued)

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new guidance applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables and loans as well asoff-balance-sheet credit exposures (e.g., loan commitments and standby letters of credit). The standard will replace the “incurred loss” approach under the current guidance with an “expected loss” model that requires an entity to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss.” The standard is effective January 1, 2020 and early application is permitted beginning January 1, 2019. We are assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-01, which requires entities to measure investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) at fair value through the income statement. There will no longer be anavailable-for-sale classification (with changes in fair value reported in Other Comprehensive Income). In addition, the cost method is eliminated for equity investments without readily determinable fair values. The standard is effective January 1, 2018. Early application is permitted for certain provisions of the standard; however, we elected not to early adopt. We do not expect this standard to have a material effect on our financial statements.

Litigation.

The Company is a defendant in lawsuits associated with the normal conduct ofthat are ordinary routine litigation matters incidental to its businesses and operations.businesses. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any litigation, it is possible that these actions could be decided unfavorably to the Company. The Company believes that there are meritorious defenses to these actions and that these actions will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, and, where appropriate, these actions are being vigorously contested. Accordingly, the Company believes the likelihood of material loss is remote.

(b)
Environmental.

(b)Environmental Matters.

Compliance with federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, did not have a material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of Fortune Brands during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016.2021. We are involved in remediation activities to clean up hazardous wastes as required by federal and state laws. Liabilities for remediation costs of each site are based on our best estimate of undiscounted future costs, excluding possible insurance recoveries or recoveries from other third parties.costs. We believe compliance with current environmental protection laws (before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties) will not have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, technology and information related to individual sites make it difficult to develop estimates of environmental remediation exposures.
