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, 2020, the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and equity for the ~~nine~~three months ended March 31, 2020 and ~~three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016~~2019, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows ~~and equity~~ for the ~~nine-month periods~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2016~~2019 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.

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, ~~2016~~2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from ~~the~~our 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.~~2019.

~~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.

~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~Financial Instruments—Credit Losses

In ~~May 2014,~~June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)~~2014-09,~~ which clarifies the accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers 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 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 to have a material effect on our financial statements.

~~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.

~~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.

~~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 vs~~non-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 all~~non-recurring~~ ~~transactions where we sell or transfer nonfinancial assets.~~

~~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.

~~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.

~~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 ASU~~2017-04~~ ~~in conjunction with our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2017.~~

~~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.

~~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.

~~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.

~~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.

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU~~2016-13, 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~~replaced the “incurred loss” approach under the ~~current~~previous guidance with an “expected loss” model that requires an entity to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss.” ~~The standard is effective~~We adopted this guidance on January 1, ~~2020 and early application is permitted beginning January 1, 2019. We are assessing the impact the~~2020. The adoption of this ~~standard will have on our financial statements.~~

~~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 an~~available-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 electedguidance did not ~~to early adopt. We do not expect this standard to~~ have a material effect on our financial statements.

10In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, which removes the requirement to disclose: 1) amount of and reasons for transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, 2) policy for timing of transfers between levels, and 3) valuation processes for Level 3 investments. In addition, this guidance modifies and adds other disclosure requirements, which primarily relate to valuation of Level 3 assets and liabilities. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. Costs to obtain software, including configuration and integration with legacy IT systems, coding and testing, including parallel process phases are eligible for capitalization under the new standard. In addition, activities that would be expensed include costs related to vendor demonstrations, determining performance and technology requirements and training activities. We adopted this guidance on January 1,2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which is intended to simplify accounting for income taxes and improve consistency in application. ASU 2019-12 amends certain elements of income tax accounting, including but not limited to intraperiod tax allocations, step-ups in tax basis of goodwill, and calculating taxes on year-to-date losses in interim periods. The guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, which clarifies the interactions between accounting for equity investments (ASC 321), equity method accounting (ASC 323) and derivatives and hedges (ASC 815). As a result of the ASU, when entities apply the measurement alternative to non-controlling equity investments under ASC 321, and must transition to the equity method of accounting because of an observable transaction, existing investments should be remeasured immediately before applying the equity method of accounting. Additionally, it states that if entities hold non-derivative forward contracts or purchased call options to acquire equity securities, such instruments should be measured using the fair value principles of ASC 321 before settlement or exercise. The Company early adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020, and as a result recognized a gain of $6.6 million within other income during the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to the remeasurement of our investment in Flo Technologies, Inc. immediately prior to applying the equity method of accounting (see note 4).

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

In ~~July 2017,~~2018 our Plumbing segment entered into a strategic partnership with, and acquired non-controlling equity interests in, Flo Technologies, Inc. (“Flo”), a U.S. manufacturer of comprehensive water monitoring and shut-off systems with leak detection technologies. In January 2020, we entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Flo in a multi-phase transaction. As part of this agreement, we acquired ~~Shaws,~~additional shares for $44.2 million in cash, including direct transactions costs, and entered into a ~~UK-based luxury plumbing products company~~forward contract to purchase all remaining shares of Flo at a future date in exchange for an additional $7.9 million in cash, which is included in other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

We utilize the equity method to account for investments when we possess the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial policies of the investee. The ability to exercise significant influence is presumed when the investor possesses more than 20% of the voting interests of the investee. This presumption may be overcome based on specific facts and circumstances that ~~specializes in manufacturing~~demonstrate that the ability to exercise significant influence is restricted. In applying the equity method, we record our investment at cost and ~~selling fireclay sinks and selling brassware and accessories in partnership with Perrin & Rowe. Net sales and operating income~~subsequently increase or decrease the carrying amount of the investment by our proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of the investee. We record dividends or other equity distributions as reductions in the ~~three months ended September 30, 2017 were not material to the Company. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under~~carrying value of our ~~existing credit facilities. The results of the operations are included in the Plumbing segment from the date of acquisition.~~

~~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. The estimated tax expense on the sale was insignificant. Field ID did not qualify for presentation as a discontinued operation in our financial statements.

In September 2016, we acquired ROHL, a California-based luxury plumbing company. In a related transaction, we also acquired Perrin & Rowe, a UK manufacturer and designer of luxury kitchen and bathroom plumbing products. The total combined purchase price was approximately $166 million (including $3 million of liabilities assumed), subject to certain post-closing adjustments. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility. Net sales and operating income in the first nine months of 2017 were not material to the Company. The results of operations are included in the Plumbing segment. The goodwill expected to be deductible for income tax purposes is approximately $49 million.

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. Net sales and operating income in the first nine months of 2017 were not material to the Company. The results of operations are included in the Plumbing segment. We do not expect any portion of goodwill to be deductible for income tax purposes.

~~We recognized a loss on discontinued operations primarily related to the prior sale of the Waterloo tool storage and Simonton window businesses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.~~investment.

As of March 31, 2020, we owned approximately 75% of Flo’s outstanding shares. Starting in the first quarter of 2020, we applied the equity method of accounting to our investment in Flo as the minority shareholders have substantive participating rights which preclude consolidation in our results of operations and statements of financial position and cash flows. The substantive participating rights are due to expire in the first quarter of 2021, at which time we will obtain control of, and begin consolidating, Flo in our results. The second phase, scheduled to occur in the first quarter of 2022, will result in the acquisition of the remaining outstanding shares of Flo for a price based on a multiple of Flo’s 2021 sales and adjusted earnings before interest and taxes. Immediately prior to applying the equity method of accounting, we recognized a gain of $6.6 million within other income during the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to the remeasurement of our previously existing investment in Flo.

The carrying value of our investment in Flo was $75.7 million at March 31, 2020 and $25.7 million at December 31, 2019.

We had goodwill of ~~$1,852.8~~$2,079.3 million and ~~$1,833.8~~$2,090.2 million as of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2019, respectively. ~~The $19.0 million increase was primarily due to the acquisition-related adjustments in our Plumbing segment (See Note 4) and foreign translation adjustments.~~ The change in the net carrying amount of goodwill by segment was as follows:

We also had net identifiable intangible assets ~~principally tradenames,~~ of ~~$1,105.4~~$1,139.9 million and ~~$1,107.0~~$1,168.9 million as of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2019, respectively. The $22.1 million decrease in gross identifiable intangible assets was due to foreign translation adjustments and tradename impairment charges of $9.5 million in our Cabinets segment.

The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization by class of identifiable intangible assets as of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2016~~2019 were as follows:

The $24.1 million increase in gross identifiable intangible assets was primarily due to acquisition-related adjustments in our Plumbing segment (See Note 4) as well as foreign translation adjustments, partially offset by impairment charges during the first quarter of 2017 related to our decision to sell Field ID (See Note 6).

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 2 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.

12In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to COVID-19, and governments around the globe enacted significant and wide-ranging measures to slow and limit the transmission of the virus, including stay at home orders in the United States and globally. The impacts of these measures is expected to negatively impact our net sales in the second quarter and later periods of 2020. We considered the forecasted impact of COVID-19 combined with the results of our 2019 annual impairment tests to be a triggering event requiring a March 31, 2020 impairment test for 3 of our indefinite-lived tradenames in our Cabinets segment.

In the first quarter of 2020, we recognized an impairment charge of $9.5 million related to one of these indefinite-lived tradenames. This charge was primarily the result of lower expected sales of custom cabinetry products related to the impact of COVID-19. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we recognized an impairment charge of $12.0 million related to the same indefinite-lived tradename, which was the result of a strategic shift associated with new segment leadership and acceleration of our capacity rebalancing initiatives from custom cabinetry products to value-based cabinetry products as a result of lower than expected sales of custom cabinetry products compared to prior forecasts. As of March 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of this tradename equaled its carrying value of $29.1 million.

In the third quarter of 2019, we recognized an impairment charge of $29.5 million related to a second indefinite-lived tradename in our Cabinets segment, which was primarily the result of a continuing shift in consumer demand from semi-custom cabinetry products to value-priced cabinetry products, which led to consecutive downward adjustments of internal sales forecasts and future growth rates associated with the tradename. As of March 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of this tradename exceeded its carrying value of $85.0 million by less than 10%.

As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2016,~~2020, the estimated fair value of ~~one~~the third tradename exceeded its carrying value of ~~the tradenames in the Cabinets segment and one of the tradenames in the Doors segment exceeded their carrying value~~$36.2 million by less than 10%. In

The fair values of these tradenames were measured using the ~~second quarter~~relief-from-royalty approach, which estimates the present value of ~~2017, we performed an interim impairment test on~~royalty income that could be hypothetically earned by licensing the tradename to a third party over its remaining useful life. Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in estimating the fair values include forecasted revenue growth rates for the tradename, assumed royalty rate, and a market-participant discount rate that reflects the level of risk associated with the tradenames’ future revenues and profitability. We selected the assumptions used in the ~~Cabinets segment~~financial forecasts using historical data, supplemented by current and ~~concluded~~anticipated market conditions, estimated growth rates, and management plans. These assumptions represent Level 3 inputs of the fair value ~~continues~~hierarchy (refer to ~~exceed its carrying value.~~ Note 8).

A ~~further~~ reduction in the estimated fair value of these three tradenames ~~may result in an~~could trigger additional impairment ~~charge~~charges 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 goodwill and other intangible assets. The events and/~~Events or circumstances that could have a potential negative effect on the estimated fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived tradenames include: lower than forecasted revenues, more severe impacts of COVID-19 than expected, actual new construction and repair and remodel growth rates that ~~lag~~fall below our assumptions, actions of key customers, ~~volatility of~~increases in discount rates, continued economic uncertainty, higher levels of unemployment, weak consumer confidence, lower levels of discretionary consumer spending, a decrease in royalty rates and a decline in the trading price of our common stock. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain events or changes in circumstances that might adversely affect the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived ~~intangible~~ assets.

At March 31, 2020, the Company ~~amended~~had aggregate outstanding notes in the amount of $2.2 billion, with varying maturities (the “Notes”). The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company. The following table provides a summary of the Company’s outstanding Notes, including the net carrying value of the Notes, net of underwriting commissions, price discounts, and ~~restated its~~debt issuance costs as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

In September 2019, the Company issued $700 million of unsecured senior notes (“2019 Notes”) in a registered public offering. The 2019 Notes are due in 2029 with a coupon rate of 3.25%. The Company used the proceeds from the 2019 Notes offering to repay in full a $350 million term loan and to pay down outstanding balances under our revolving credit ~~agreement~~facility. The Company expects to ~~combine and rollover~~repay or refinance the ~~existing~~3.000% Senior Notes prior to the June 2020 maturity date.

In April 2020, the Company entered into a 364-day, $400 million 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 “2020 Revolving Credit Agreement”), and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes. ~~On September 30, 2017~~Given the uncertain nature and ~~December 31, 2016, our outstanding borrowings under~~duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, this was a proactive step taken out of an abundance of caution to provide ample liquidity for the business. The terms and conditions of the 2020 Revolving Credit Agreement are essentially the same as the Company’s existing $1.25 billion revolving credit facility ~~were $570.0 million~~except for additional provisions related to cash hoarding and ~~$540.0 million, respectively. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,~~ the ~~current portion~~use of ~~long-term~~ debt ~~was zero.~~issuance proceeds. Interest rates under the ~~facility~~2020 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%~~1.40% to LIBOR + ~~1.5%~~1.8%. The 2020 Revolving Credit Agreement includes a covenant under which 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 2020 Revolving Credit Agreement includes a covenant under which the Company’s ratio of consolidated total indebtedness minus certain cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA generally may not exceed 3.5 to 1.0.

In September 2019, the Company entered into a second amended and restated $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “2019 Revolving Credit Agreement”), and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes. The terms and conditions of the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement, including the total commitment amount, essentially remained the same as under the previous credit agreement, except that the maturity date was extended to September 2024. Borrowings amounting to $165.0 million were rolled-over from the prior revolving credit facility into the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement. 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%. This amendment and restatement of the credit agreement was a non-cash transaction for the Company. On March 31, 2020, our outstanding borrowings under this facility was $250.0 million. On December 31, 2019, our outstanding borrowings under this facility was 0. This facility is included in Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.

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 of~~ten-year~~ ~~notes due 2025 with a coupon of 4%. We~~September 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the ~~Senior~~2019 Notes ~~offering~~ to ~~pay down our revolving credit facility~~repay the full outstanding balance on the Term Loan entered into in March 2018 and subsequently amended in August 2018 and March 2019 (the “Term Loan”). Following the March 2019 amendment, the Term Loan provided for ~~general corporate purposes. On September 30, 2017~~borrowings of $350 million and matured in March 2020. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2019, amounts due under 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.~~Term Loan were 0.

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, 2017~~March 31, 2020 and December 31, ~~2016.~~2019.

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

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

Our primary foreign currency hedge contracts pertain to the Canadian dollar, the British pound, the Mexican peso and the Chinese ~~yuan and the Euro.~~yuan. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all foreign currency derivative hedges outstanding at ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 was ~~$190.2 million, representing a net settlement payable of $2.3~~$378.0 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2020, we estimate that ~~$1.2~~$4.7 million of net ~~foreign currency~~ derivative losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.

~~The fair values of derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows:~~

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requirements for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Level 1 inputs, the highest priority, are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs reflect ~~inputs~~ other than quoted prices included in ~~level~~Level 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 ~~level~~Level 3.

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, 2017~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2016~~2019 were ~~31.6%~~21.5% and ~~28.6%~~25.3%, respectively.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which are included in this report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2019, which are included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2019.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), regarding the expected or potential impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19”) on our business, operations or financial condition.

Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Where, in any forward-looking statement, we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business and future financial results, ~~based on information~~ available at the time this report is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited to: (i) the uncertainties relating to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, operations and financial results, (ii)our reliance on the North American home improvement, repair and new home construction activity levels, ~~(ii)~~and the North American and global economies generally, (iii) ~~risk~~the competitive nature of consumer and trade brand businesses, (iv) risks associated with our ability to improve organizational productivity and global supply chain efficiency and flexibility, (v) our ability to develop new products or processes and improve existing products and processes, (vi) risks associated with global commodity and energy availability and price volatility, as well as the possibility of sustained inflation, (vii) risks associated with doing business internationally, including changes in trade-related tariffs and risks with uncertain trade environments, (viii) changes in government and industry standards, (ix) risks associated with entering into potential strategic acquisitions and integrating acquired property, ~~(iv)~~(x) our ability to ~~remain competitive, innovative~~secure and protect our intellectual property ~~(v)~~rights, (xi) our reliance on key customers and suppliers, ~~(vi) the cost~~including wholesale distributors and ~~availability~~dealers, (xii) risks associated with the disruption of operations, (xiii) our ~~supply chains and the availability of~~inability to obtain raw materials ~~(vii)~~and finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner, (xiv) our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and other labor constraints, (xv) impairments in the carrying value of goodwill or other acquired intangible assets, (xvi) delays or outages in our information technology system or computer networks, (xvii) risk of increases in our defined benefit-related costs and funding requirements, ~~(viii) compliance with~~(xviii) future tax ~~environmental~~law changes or the interpretation of existing tax laws, (xix) potential liabilities and ~~federal, state~~costs from claims and ~~international laws~~litigation and ~~industry regulatory standards and (ix)~~(xx) our ability to access the ~~risk of doing business internationally.~~ capital markets on terms acceptable to us.

We undertake no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any such obligation to, update or clarify any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, new information or changes to future results over time or otherwise, except as required by law.

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 in~~leading home and security products ~~focused on the design, manufacture and sale~~company with a portfolio of ~~market-leading~~leading branded products used for residential home repair, remodeling, new construction and security applications.

While, to the Company’s knowledge, the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly impact our business, operations or financial results in the ~~following categories: kitchen~~first quarter of 2020, it may have far-reaching impacts on many aspects of the Company’s operations in the future including the continued operation of our facilities across the globe, the ability of our suppliers to manufacture key inputs, as well as potential other impacts on customer behaviors, the Company’s employees and ~~bath cabinetry,~~the market generally. While we produced strong results in our 2020 first quarter, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to negatively impact our financial results in the second quarter and in later periods of 2020; we had some disruption in our plumbing business due to factory closures in China during the first quarter and ~~accessories, entry door systems~~have already seen a decline in orders and ~~security~~increased inefficiencies in some of our plants. A number of countries and US states have issued orders requiring nonessential businesses to close and persons who were not engaged in essential businesses to stay at home. Most states and jurisdictions have, to date, designated our products, our retail channel partners and residential construction as essential business activities. A small number of jurisdictions where we operate did not deem our products as part of an essential business, impacting both our ability to manufacturer as well as the demand for some of our products.

Due to the inherent uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, including the rapidly changing governmental directives, public health challenges and market reactions, it is challenging to estimate the future performance of our business and the financial impacts of COVID-19 in one or more periods in 2020 compared to the corresponding prior-year periods and compared to our expectations at the beginning of our 2020 fiscal year.

Our first priority with regard to COVID-19 is to ensure the safety, health and hygiene of our employees, customers, suppliers and others with whom we partner in our business activities. Subject to our comprehensive use of appropriate risk mitigation and safety practices, we are doing everything we can to continue our business operations in this unprecedented business environment. We continue to 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~~structure. We believe these long-held strengths will enable us to compete effectively during and ~~customer service.~~after the COVID-19 pandemic. We ~~are focused~~will continue to focus on outperforming our markets in growth, profitability and returns in order to drive increased shareholder value. We believe the Company’s track record reflects the long-term attractiveness and potential of ~~our~~the categories we serve and our leading brands. As consumer demand and the housing market grow, we expect the benefits of operating leverage and strategic spending to support increased manufacturing capacity and long-term growth initiatives will help us continue to achieve profitable organic growth.

We believe long-term 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 strength by pursuing accretive strategic acquisitions, non-controlling equity investments and joint ventures, and by returning cash to shareholders through a combination of dividends and common stock repurchases under our share repurchase ~~programs~~program 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 ~~the substantial~~a majority of the markets we serve consisting of repair and remodel spending. ~~We believe that~~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, home prices, stable mortgage rates and credit ~~availability. Over~~availability, all of which may be further impacted by COVID-19 for an unknown duration.

In addition to the ~~long term,~~potential COVID-19 impacts noted above, we believe that the U.S. home products market will benefit from favorable population and immigration trends, which will drive demand for new housing units, and from an aging existing housing stock that will continue to need to be repaired and remodeled.

We may be impacted by fluctuations in raw material and transportation costs, changes in foreign exchange and promotional activity among our competitors. We strive to offset the potential unfavorable impact of these items with productivity improvement initiatives and price increases.

~~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. We financed the transaction using cash on hand and borrowings under our existing 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. The results of the operations 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. Terms and conditions of the credit agreement, including the total commitment amount, essentially remained the same. The revolving credit facility will mature in June 2021 and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes.

In May 2016, we acquired Riobel Inc. (“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 facility.

~~Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared To Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016~~

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 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 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 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.

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.

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 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 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 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, 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.~~

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

~~Operating income increased $9.7 million, or 21.0%, due to the higher net sales and leveraging sales on our existing fixed cost base.~~

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 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.

The increase in other income, net is primarily due to gains related to our investment in Flo partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency adjustments.

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2016~~2019 were ~~31.6%~~21.5% and ~~28.6%~~25.3%, respectively.

Operating income ~~decreased $5.1~~increased by $0.5 million, or ~~6.8%~~1.2%, due to higher net sales and the benefit from productivity improvements. These factors were partly offset by unfavorable mix, asset impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2020 ($9.5 million), COVID-19 related production interruptions, higher rebate costs, and COVID-19 related expenses.

Net sales increased by $10.4 million, or 2.3%, due to price increases to mitigate increased tariffs and higher sales volume in the U.S. and Canada. These benefits were partially offset by lower sales volume in China driven by impacts of COVID-19 and higher rebate costs as well as unfavorable foreign exchange of approximately $3 million.

Operating income increased by $15.3 million, or 17.2%, due to higher net sales and the benefit from productivity improvements. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of higher tariffs and rebate costs.

These benefits were partially offset by lower sales unit volume in security products and unfavorable mix. Foreign exchange was unfavorable by approximately $1 million.

Operating income increased by $9.1 million, or 40.6%, due to higher net sales in Doors and Decking, the absence in 2020 of amortization expense related to Fiberon’s inventory fair value adjustment ($1.8 million in 2019) and an expense due to a fair value adjustment associated with an idle manufacturing facility ($1.7 million in 2019). These benefits were partially offset by the impact of tariffs.

~~Operating income increased $2.8 million, or 12.6%, due to higher net sales and leveraging sales on our existing fixed cost base.~~

Net sales increased $1.0 million, or 0.6%, due to higher sales volume in the U.S. and international markets for our core locks and safes product lines and favorable foreign exchange offset by the impact from our exiting of two product lines in our commercial sales distribution channel.

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

Our ~~principal sources of liquidity have been cash on hand,~~ cash flows from ~~operating activities~~operations, borrowing availability and ~~availability under our credit facilities. Our operating income is generated by our subsidiaries. There~~overall liquidity are ~~no restrictions on~~subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described in the ~~ability~~section 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, 2019 entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and those described in Item 1A – Risk Factors below. 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. ~~Our cash flows from operations, borrowing availability and overall liquidity are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described~~

At March 31, 2020, the Company had aggregate outstanding notes in the ~~section~~amount of $2.2 billion, with varying maturities (the “Notes”). The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Company. The following table provides a summary of the Company’s outstanding Notes, including the net carrying value of the Notes, net of underwriting commissions, price discounts and debt issuance costs as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

In September 2019, the Company issued $700 million of unsecured senior notes (“2019 Notes”) in a registered public offering. The 2019 Notes are due in 2029 with a coupon rate of 3.25%. The Company used the proceeds from the 2019 Notes offering to repay in full the Company’s $350 million term loan and to pay down outstanding balances under our ~~Annual Report on Form10-K~~revolving credit facility. The Company expects to repay or refinance the 3.000% Senior Notes prior to the June 2020 maturity date.

In April 2020, the Company entered into a 364-day, $400 million revolving credit facility (the “2020 Revolving Credit Agreement”), and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes. Given the uncertain nature and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, this was a proactive step taken out of an abundance of caution to provide ample liquidity for the ~~year-ended~~business. The terms and conditions of the 2020 Revolving Credit Agreement are essentially the same as the Company’s existing $1.25 billion revolving credit facility except for additional provisions related to cash hoarding and the use of debt issuance proceeds. Interest rates under the 2020 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 + 1.40% to LIBOR + 1.8%. The 2020 Revolving Credit Agreement includes a covenant under which 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 2020 Revolving Credit Agreement includes a covenant under which the Company’s ratio of consolidated total indebtedness minus certain cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA generally may not exceed 3.5 to 1.0.

In September 2019, the Company entered into a second amended and restated $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “2019 Revolving Credit Agreement”), and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes. The terms and conditions of the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement, including the total commitment amount, essentially remained the same as under the previous credit agreement, except that the maturity date was extended to September 2024. Borrowings amounting to $165.0 million were rolled-over from the prior revolving credit facility into the 2019 Revolving Credit Agreement. 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%. This amendment and restatement of the credit agreement was a non-cash transaction for the Company. On March 31, 2020 our outstanding borrowings under this facility was $250 million. On December 31, ~~2016 entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”~~

~~Acquisitions~~2019 our outstanding borrowings under this facility was zero. This facility is included in ~~2017 and 2016 included:~~Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.

On ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$277.1~~$359.7 million, of which ~~$257.9~~$256.8 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 ~~half~~quarter of the ~~year, particularly~~year. Additionally, as noted in the overview section above, we are uncertain of the impact of COVID-19 to our net sales, supply chain, manufacturing, and distribution as well as overall new construction, repair and remodel, and consumer spending.

We believe that our current cash position, cash flow generated from operations, and amounts available under our revolving credit facilities should be sufficient for our operating requirements and enable us to fund our capital expenditures, dividend payments, and any required long-term debt payments. In addition, we believe that we have the ability to obtain alternative sources of financing if required. We expect capital expenditures during 2020 to be in the range of $110 to $130 million. Given the current uncertainty related to COVID-19, we may adjust our capital expenditures as necessary or appropriate to support the operations of the business.

In the first ~~quarter.~~quarter of 2020, we repurchased 2.5 million shares of our outstanding common stock under the Company’s share repurchase programs for $150.0 million. As of March 31, 2020, the Company’s total remaining share repurchase authorization under the remaining program was approximately $164 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.

In the first three months of 2020, we paid dividends in the amount of $33.5 million to the Company’s shareholders. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate dividend payment opportunities on a quarterly basis. There can be no assurance as to when and if future dividends will be paid, and at what level, because the payment of dividends is dependent on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, capital requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. There are no restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to Fortune Brands.

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

Below is a summary of cash flows for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 and ~~2016.~~2019.

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.stock options.

Subsidiaries of Fortune Brands sponsor their respective defined benefit pension plans that are funded by a portfolio of investments maintained within our benefit plan trust. As of December 31, ~~2016,~~2019, the fair value of our total pension plan assets was ~~$577.7~~$677.2 million, representing ~~73%~~77% of the accumulated benefit obligation liability. In ~~2017,~~2020, we expect to make ~~total~~ pension contributions of approximately ~~$25 million of which $22 million has been paid as of September 30, 2017.~~$23 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.

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

~~In May 2014, the Financial~~The 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 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 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~~expected to have a ~~material effect~~significant impact on our ~~financial statements.~~

~~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.

~~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 vs~~non-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 all~~non-recurring~~ ~~transactions where we sell~~earnings or ~~transfer nonfinancial assets.~~liquidity.

~~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.

~~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 ASU~~2017-04~~ ~~in conjunction with our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2017.~~

~~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.

~~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.

~~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.

~~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 as~~off-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.

~~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 an~~available-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.

There have been no material changes in the information provided in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2019.

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the ~~Company’s~~Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the ~~Company’s~~Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b)

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There have not been any changes in the ~~Company’s~~Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the ~~Company’s~~ fiscal quarter ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the ~~Company’s~~Company's internal control over financial reporting. The Company is in the process of reviewing the internal control structure of acquired businesses and, if necessary, will make appropriate changes as we incorporate our controls and procedures into those recently acquired businesses.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

(a)

~~Other~~

Litigation.

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

(b)

Environmental Matters.

Item 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

~~There~~

The current outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has impacted our business and is expected to cause further disruptions to our business, financial performance and operating results.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have ~~been no material changes~~far-reaching impacts on many aspects of the Company’s operations in the future including the continued operation of our facilities across the globe, the ability of our suppliers to manufacture key inputs, as well as potential other impacts on customer behaviors, the ~~risk factors previously disclosed~~Company’s employees and the market generally. Our business could be negatively impacted over the longer term if the disruptions related to COVID-19 decrease consumer confidence and housing investments; or precipitate a prolonged economic downturn and/or an extended rise in unemployment or tempering of wage growth, any of which could lower demand for our products. Risks related to negative economic conditions are described in "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016 in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”~~2019.

The inherent uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, due in part to rapidly changing governmental directives, public health challenges and progress, and market reactions also makes it more challenging for our management to estimate the future performance of our business and the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including but not limited to, possible impairment, restructuring, and other charges. Accordingly, future developments may materially impact our current estimates of such charges.
