MasterBrand, Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Background MasterBrand, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of residential cabinets in North America with a portfolio of leading residential cabinetry products for the kitchen, bathroom and other parts of the home. References to “MasterBrand,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to MasterBrand, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

Basis of Presentation Our consolidated financial statements are based on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in December in each calendar year. Our fiscal 2024 will consist of 52 weeks ending on December 29, 2024, while our fiscal 2023 consisted of 53 weeks ended on December 31, 2023.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, as well as the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and equity for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023 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 audited consolidated financial statements and notes. The 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Tornado at Jackson, GA Production Facility On January 12, 2023, a tornado hit the Company’s leased Jackson, Georgia production facility, causing damage to the Company’s assets and disrupting certain operations. Insurance, less applicable deductibles, covered the repair or replacement of the Company’s assets that suffered loss or damage, provided business interruption coverage, including lost profits, and reimbursement for other expenses and costs that were incurred relating to the damages and losses suffered. For the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023, the Company incurred expenses of $9.4 million solely related to damages caused by the tornado, and no additional expenses were incurred throughout the remainder of fiscal 2023. These expenses included compensation costs that we continued to pay skilled labor at the Jackson facility to enable a timely ramp up of production upon re-opening the facility on March 27, 2023, the first day of our fiscal second quarter of 2023, as well as the write-off of damaged inventory, freight costs to move product to other warehouses and professional fees to secure and maintain the site. During fiscal 2023, we received $7.4 million of insurance proceeds for direct costs caused by the tornado, of which no amounts were received during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023. Both the expenses and insurance recoveries were recorded as a component of cost of products sold in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Upon receipt of the final insurance proceeds in our fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we considered this claim to be closed.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Issued and Adopted
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have adopted and which have had a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Accounting Standards Issued, But Not Yet Adopted
Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss to assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity's segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures, providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and requiring other new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendments also remove certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Our principal performance obligations are the sale of high quality stock, semi-custom and premium cabinetry, as well as vanities, for the kitchen, bath and other parts of the home (collectively, “goods” or “products”). We recognize revenue for the sale of goods based on our assessment of when control transfers to our customers, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery of the products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods to our customers. Payment terms on our product sales normally range from 30 to 90 days. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that we collect are excluded from revenue. The expected costs associated with our contractual warranties are recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note 13, "Contingencies and Accrued Losses," for further discussion.

We record estimates to reduce revenue for customer programs and incentives, which are considered variable consideration, and include price discounts, volume-based incentives, promotions and cooperative advertising when revenue is recognized in order to determine the amount of consideration the Company will ultimately be entitled to receive. These estimates are based on historical and projected experience for each type of customer. In addition, for certain customer program incentives, we receive an identifiable benefit (goods or services) in exchange for the consideration given and record the associated expenditure in selling, general and administrative expenses. We account for shipping and handling costs that occur after the customer has obtained control of a product as a fulfillment activity (i.e., as an expense) rather than as a promised service (i.e., as a revenue element). These costs are classified within selling, general and administrative expenses.

7

Settlement of our outstanding accounts receivable balances normally occurs within 30 to 90 days of the original sale transaction date. Obligations arise for us from customer rights to return our goods, including among others, product obsolescence, stock rotations, trade-in agreements for newer products and upon termination of a customer contract. We estimate future product returns at the time of sale based on historical experience and record a corresponding refund obligation, which amounted to $1.8 million and $2.1 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Refund obligations are classified within other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Return assets related to the refund obligation are measured at the carrying amount of the goods at the time of sale, less any expected costs to recover the goods and any expected reduction in value.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into (i) major sales distribution channels and (ii) total sales to customers by shipping location, as these categories depict the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows that are affected by economic factors. The following table disaggregates our consolidated revenue by major sales distribution channels and by shipping location for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and March 26, 2023.

Prior to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, net sales by channel was presented for our domestic sales only.
b)Represents sales to domestic dealers whose end customers include builders, professional trades and home remodelers, inclusive of sales through our dealers’ respective internet website portals.
c)Represents sales to domestic “Do-It-Yourself” retailers, including our two largest customers: 1) Lowe’s and 2) The Home Depot, inclusive of sales through their respective internet website portals.
d)Represents sales directly to builders.
Practical Expedients
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs the Company incurs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained. These costs are required to be recognized as assets and amortized over the period that the related goods or services transfer to the customer. As a practical expedient, we expense as incurred costs to obtain a contract when the expected amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Allowance for Credit Losses
Our primary allowance for credit losses is the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reduces the trade accounts receivable balance to the estimated net realizable value that is expected to be collected. The allowance is based on assessments of current creditworthiness of customers, historical collection experience, the aging of receivables and other currently available evidence. Trade accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if a final determination of uncollectibility is made. All provisions for allowances for doubtful collection of accounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

There were no impairments of goodwill or indefinite-lived assets for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. There were no triggering events requiring an impairment assessment be conducted in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024. However, it is possible that future changes in circumstances would require the Company to record additional non-cash impairment charges.


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. 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.

We account for derivative instruments as follows:

Derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges - The changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are reported in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income when the hedged item affects earnings. In all periods presented, the recognized gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized in cost of products sold on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Derivative instruments that are designated as fair value hedges - The gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized in other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
11

Derivative instruments that are designated as net investment hedges - The changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income when realized upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity.

As of and for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and March 26, 2023, we have only entered into foreign currency forward contracts, some of which have been designated as fair value hedges and some of which have been designated as cash flow hedges. We may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to protect against foreign exchange risks associated with certain existing assets and liabilities, forecasted future cash flows, and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Foreign exchange contracts related to forecasted future cash flows correspond to the periods of the forecasted transactions, which generally do not exceed 12 to 15 months subsequent to the latest balance sheet date.

Our primary foreign currency hedge contracts pertain to the Mexican peso and the Canadian dollar. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all foreign currency derivative hedges outstanding at March 31, 2024 was $81.8 million, representing a net settlement asset of $3.8 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of March 31, 2024, we estimate that the $3.5 million of net derivative gains associated with cash flow hedges and included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2024 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.

The fair values of foreign exchange derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were:

When the hedged item affects earnings, amounts are reclassed out of accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized as a component of cost of products sold.

8. Fair Value Measurements
ASC requirements for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Level 1 inputs, the highest priority, are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs reflect other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either observable directly or through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability, such as internally-developed valuation models. We do not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that are Level 3, except for certain assumptions in estimating the fair value of indefinite-lived tradenames, as discussed in Note 8, "Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

9. Debt
The following table provides a summary of the Company’s debt as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, including the carrying value of the debt less debt issuance costs:

Less: Unamortized debt issuance costs(1.2)(3.3)(1.2)(3.5)
Total$26.9 $681.1 $17.6 $690.2 

On November 18, 2022, the Company entered into a 5-year, $1.25 billion credit agreement, consisting of a $750.0 million term loan and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2022 Credit Agreement”). The 2022 Credit Agreement is secured by certain assets as well as the guarantee of certain of our subsidiaries. The $750.0 million term loan has quarterly required amortization payments that began in March 2023.

During the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023, the Company made total payments of $28.1 million on the term loan, consisting of a $4.7 million required payment due September 2023, and $23.4 million of required amortization payments due during each of the next three quarters. We did not make any additional term loan payments during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 or the first quarter of fiscal 2024, and as of March 31, 2024 we are paid in advance for our next scheduled quarterly payment due during the second quarter of 2024. Total amounts outstanding under the term loan as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $712.5 million. The revolving credit facility was paid in full during the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The revolving credit facility did not have an outstanding balance as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $477.3 million of availability under its revolving credit facility, which consists of our $500.0 million revolving credit facility less outstanding letters of credit.

Interest rates under these facilities are variable based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s net leverage ratio, as measured by net leverage to our consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Consolidated EBITDA”). Interest rates can range from SOFR plus 1.85 percent to SOFR plus 2.60 percent. Net leverage is defined as consolidated total indebtedness minus certain cash and cash equivalents. 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. The net leverage ratio may not exceed 3.875 to 1.0 at the initial borrowing through the second fiscal quarter of 2023, adjusting downward in various future quarters before settling at 3.25 to 1.0 in January 2025. As of March 31, 2024, the net leverage ratio may not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. The Company also is required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as Consolidated EBITDA compared to consolidated interest expense, of 3.0 to 1.0.

The Company’s 2022 Credit Agreement contains additional covenants which limit or preclude certain corporate actions based upon the measurement of certain financial covenant metrics. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Interest paid on debt was $14.1 million and $17.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and March 26, 2023, respectively.

10. Restructuring Charges (Adjustments)
For the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, we recognized restructuring charges of $0.4 million. For the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023, we recognized $0.4 million of adjustments to our restructuring liability.

11. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, and March 26, 2023, were 23.5 percent and 26.9 percent, respectively. The net decrease in the effective tax rate between the periods is primarily due to the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates, the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested, state and local income taxes and deferred tax liability for foreign earnings, partially offset by changes in foreign income inclusions with offsetting foreign tax credits.

The difference between our effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent is due to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, foreign income inclusions with offsetting tax credits and nondeductible compensation partially offset by the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested and the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.

The difference between the Company’s effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent primarily relates to unfavorable changes in state and local income taxes, nondeductible compensation, foreign income inclusions with offsetting foreign tax credits, changes due to foreign tax return filings, recognition of a deferred tax liability for foreign earnings and the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.

12. Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
We have a defined benefit pension plan in the United States covering many of the Company’s associates. In addition, the Company provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees. The defined benefit pension plan has been frozen to new participants and benefit accruals were frozen for active participants on or before December 31, 2016. During 2023, the Board of Directors of MasterBrand approved a plan to terminate the defined benefit pension plan. The termination and settlement process, which preserves retirement benefits due to participants but changes the ultimate payor of such benefits, is expected to take up to 24 months to complete, subject to receipt of customary regulatory approvals. During 2024, the Company is offering a lump-sum benefit payout option to certain plan participants. During 2025, we expect to complete the purchase of group annuity contracts that will transfer any remaining pension benefit obligation to an insurance company.

The components of net periodic cost (benefit) for pension and other postretirement plans for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and March 26, 2023, respectively, are as set forth in the tables below. Service cost is classified as either a component of cost of products sold or within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income, based on the nature of the job responsibilities of the associates participating in the plans. All other components of net periodic cost (benefit) are classified as other (income) expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Product Warranties
We generally record warranty expense related to contractual warranty terms at the time of sale. We may also provide customer concessions for claims made outside of the contractual warranty terms and those expenses are recorded in the period in which the concession is made. We offer our customers various warranty terms based on the type of product that is sold. Warranty expense is determined based on historic claim experience and the nature of the product category. The following table summarizes activity related to our product warranty liability for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and March 26, 2023.

Litigation

The Company is a defendant in lawsuits that are ordinary routine litigation matters incidental to our business and operations. In addition, other matters, including tax assessments, audits, claims and governmental investigations and proceedings covering a wide range of matters are pending against us. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any such matters, 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. However, such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. The Company regularly undergoes tax audits in various jurisdictions in which our products are sold or manufactured. In the future, such costs or an unfavorable outcome could have a material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Following an audit for the 2018 tax year, the Mexican tax administration service, the Servicio de Administración Tributaria, (the “SAT”), issued a tax assessment in the amount of approximately $54.9 million to our subsidiary, Woodcrafters Home Products, S. de R.L. de C.V., for allegedly failing to make certain tax payments and to export timely certain merchandise. The Company disputed these findings and the SAT annulled their decision on January 11, 2024. In order to prevent the 2018 tax year from further audit by the SAT, the Company has filed an action to declare this annulment final in the specialized court of trade and customs in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Sala Especializada en Materia de Comercio Exterior y Auxiliar – Noreste, Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa. We reserved an immaterial amount related to the 2018 tax year audit as our best estimate of our probable liability as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. While we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of any future review relating to the 2018 tax year or other open tax years, based on currently known information, we believe our risk of additional loss is remote and not estimable.

Environmental
We reserve for remediation activities to clean up potential environmental liabilities as required by federal and state laws based on our best estimate of undiscounted future costs, excluding possible insurance recoveries or recoveries from other third parties. There were no material environmental accruals as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

15. Stock Repurchase Program
On May 9, 2023, we announced our authorization of a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $50.0 million of MasterBrand common stock over a twenty-four month period at management’s discretion for general corporate purposes. As a result of this authorization, we may repurchase shares from time to time through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block trades or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and amount of our purchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, our available capital resources, our financial and operational performance, alternative uses of capital and other factors. We may limit or terminate the repurchase program at any time.

During the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased 104,000 shares of our common stock under this program. The shares were repurchased at a cost of approximately $1.9 million, or an average of $18.29 per share, during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, $26.1 million remained authorized for purchase under our stock repurchase program.

Results of Operations
The following discussion of condensed consolidated results of operations refers to the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023.

Net sales
Net sales were $638.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 compared to $676.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023, a decrease of $38.6 million, or 5.7 percent. The lower net sales, compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023, were driven by lower average selling prices due primarily to trade down and promotional activity on flat year-over-year sales unit volume. The change in foreign currency during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 was comparable to the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023.

Cost of products sold
Cost of products sold decreased by $38.7 million, or 8.2 percent, to $433.4 million (67.9 percent of net sales) in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $472.1 million (69.8 percent of net sales) in the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023. The lower cost of products sold was driven by realized savings from various cost reduction actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2022 and throughout 2023 and deflation in commodity costs and inbound transportation compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023. Additionally, the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023 included $9.4 million of incremental costs related to the tornado that occurred at our Jackson, GA facility.

Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.5 million, or 1.8 percent, to $137.8 million (21.6 percent of net sales) in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 compared to $135.3 million (20.0 percent of net sales) in the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023. The increase in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 is primarily due to increased associate-related costs ($6.2 million), including salaries and incentive compensation. These increases are partially offset by lower distribution and commission costs ($3.9 million), as well as lower restructuring-related costs ($1.7 million), as we took actions in fiscal 2022 and 2023 to rightsize our manufacturing footprint to satisfy forecasted customer demand.

22

Restructuring charges (adjustments)
Restructuring charges were $0.4 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, which was comparable to restructuring (adjustments) of $0.4 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023.

Interest expense
Interest expense was $14.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $17.4 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023, as strong cash from operations throughout fiscal 2023 was used, in part, to pay down our revolving credit facility and term loan.

Other (income) expense, net
Other income, net was $0.3 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, which was comparable to other expense, net of $0.4 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023.

Income taxes
Our condensed consolidated income before taxes, income tax expense, and effective tax rate for the thirteen week periods ended March 31, 2024 and March 26, 2023 were as follows:
Thirteen Weeks Ended
(U.S. Dollars presented in millions, except percentages)March 31,

March 26,
2023
Income before taxes$49.0 $47.9 
Income tax expense11.5 12.9 
Effective tax rate23.5 %26.9 %

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, and March 26, 2023, were 23.5 percent and 26.9 percent, respectively. The net decrease in the effective tax rate between the periods is primarily due to the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates, the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested, state and local income taxes and deferred tax liability for foreign earnings, partially offset by changes in foreign income inclusions with offsetting foreign tax credits.

The difference between our effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent is due to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, foreign income inclusions with offsetting tax credits and nondeductible compensation partially offset by the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested and the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.

The difference between our effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent primarily relates to unfavorable changes in state and local income taxes, nondeductible compensation, foreign income inclusions with offsetting foreign tax credits, changes due to foreign tax return filings, recognition of a deferred tax liability for foreign earnings and the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our operating income is generated by our subsidiaries. There are generally no restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to MasterBrand, other than the fact our subsidiaries have financial obligations that must be satisfied before funding us and such dividends are subject to applicable local law and may be limited due to terms of other contractual arrangements, including our indebtedness. We periodically review our portfolio of brands, manufacturing and supply chain footprint, and evaluate potential strategic transactions to increase stockholder value. However, we cannot predict whether or when we may enter into acquisitions, joint ventures or dispositions, or what impact any such transactions could have on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Our cash flows from operations, borrowing availability and overall liquidity are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” within Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
23


On November 18, 2022, we entered into a 5-year, $1.25 billion credit agreement, consisting of a $750.0 million term loan and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility. The 2022 Credit Agreement is secured by certain assets as well as the guarantee of certain of our subsidiaries.

Interest rates under these facilities are variable based on the SOFR at the time of the borrowing and our net leverage ratio, as measured by our Net Leverage to our Consolidated EBITDA. Net Leverage is defined as consolidated total indebtedness minus certain cash and cash equivalents. 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. The Net Leverage Ratio could not exceed 3.875 to 1.0 at the initial borrowing through the second fiscal quarter of 2023, adjusting downward in various future quarters before settling at 3.25 to 1.0 in January 2025. As of March 31, 2024, the net leverage ratio may not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. Interest rates can range from SOFR plus 1.85 percent to SOFR plus 2.60 percent. We also are required to maintain a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.0 to 1.0. The Interest Coverage Ratio is defined as Consolidated EBITDA compared to consolidated interest expense.

Our 2022 Credit Agreement contains additional covenants which limit or preclude certain corporate actions based upon the measurement of certain financial covenant metrics. The $750.0 million Term Loan has quarterly required amortization payments, which began in March 2023. During the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023, the Company made total payments of $28.1 million on the term loan, consisting of a $4.7 million required payment due September 2023, and $23.4 million of required amortization payments due during each of the next three quarters. We did not make any additional term loan payments during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 or the first quarter of fiscal 2024, and as of March 31, 2024 we are paid in advance for our next scheduled quarterly payment due during the second quarter of 2024. These additional amortization payments, made possible due to the generation of strong operating cash flow, were made to reduce future interest expense and provide financial flexibility. The revolving credit facility was paid in full during the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The revolving credit facility did not have an outstanding balance as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants set forth in the 2022 Credit Agreement, and expects to remain in compliance for the foreseeable future.

As of March 31, 2024, we had $708.0 million outstanding in third-party borrowings, net of deferred financing fees. We may also incur additional indebtedness in the future.
Cash Flows
Below is a summary of cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and March 26, 2023.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 as compared to $62.1 million in the first quarter of 2023. Net cash provided by operating activities included net income of $37.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, as compared to net income of $35.0 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, accounts receivable increased $21.7 million from the low fiscal 2023 ending balance resulting from strong cash collection efforts. In the first quarter of 2023, our accounts receivable decreased $14.1 million, as a result of improvements in our collection processes throughout 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, the movement in inventory was $1.6 million favorable, as compared to the first quarter of 2023, which had favorable movement in inventory of $23.3 million. In 2022, we executed an intentional build in inventory in the first half of the year in order to mitigate the impact of an uncertain and volatile global supply chain environment. The favorable inventory movement in the first quarter of 2023 reflects our efforts to more efficiently manage our inventory levels in the current supply chain environment, which have continued through the first quarter of 2024. Accounts payable was $10.2 million favorable in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 as compared to unfavorable accounts payable movement of $16.9 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023 as a result of decreased purchasing levels aligned with our lower inventory levels. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities had an unfavorable impact of $29.6 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to an unfavorable impact of $14.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. Both unfavorable impacts were primarily driven by the annual incentive compensation payouts related to the prior fiscal year.

Net cash used in investing activities was $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase is due to increased capital expenditures as compared to the prior year.

Net cash used in financing activities was $7.1 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, as compared to cash used of $42.7 million in the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023. The first quarter of 2023 included net payments on external debt of $39.6 million, as we used excess cash to pay down our revolving credit facility. No debt payments were made during the first quarter of 2024. The first quarter of 2024 also includes $1.6 million of stock repurchases made under the $50.0 million stock repurchase program authorized in the second quarter of 2023.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalent balances, along with available cash from operating cash flows and credit facilities, will be adequate to fund our typical needs, including working capital requirements and projected capital expenditures. We also believe we have access to additional funds from capital markets to fund strategic initiatives.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
As discussed in Note 2, "Recently Issued Accounting Standards," of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, there are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have adopted and which have had a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our critical accounting estimates requiring significant judgement that could materially impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Since the date of the Company’s most recent Annual Report, there have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates or assumptions.

Item 3.         QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in the information provided in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

25


Item 4.         CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of March 31, 2024 (the “Evaluation Date”), have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

26

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are defendants in lawsuits that are ordinary routine litigation matters incidental to our business and operations. In addition, other matters, including tax assessments, audits, claims and governmental investigations and proceedings covering a wide range of matters are pending against us. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any such matters, it is possible that these actions could be decided unfavorably to us. We believe that there are meritorious defenses to these actions and that these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition, and, where appropriate, these actions are being vigorously contested. Accordingly, we believe the likelihood of material loss is remote. However, such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. The Company regularly undergoes tax audits in various jurisdictions in which our products are sold or manufactured. In the future, such costs or an unfavorable outcome could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Based on available information to date and subject to below, we do not consider any such action, assessment, claim, investigation or proceeding to be material, within the meaning of that term as used in “Item 103 of Regulation S-K” and the instructions thereto.

Following an audit for the 2018 tax year, the Mexican tax administration service, the Servicio de Administración Tributaria, (the “SAT”), issued a tax assessment in the amount of approximately $54.9 million to our subsidiary, Woodcrafters Home Products, S. de R.L. de C.V., for allegedly failing to make certain tax payments and to export timely certain merchandise. The Company disputed these findings and the SAT annulled their decision on January 11, 2024. In order to prevent the 2018 tax year from further audit by the SAT, the Company has filed an action to declare this annulment final in the specialized court of trade and customs in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Sala Especializada en Materia de Comercio Exterior y Auxiliar – Noreste, Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa. We reserved an immaterial amount related to the 2018 tax year audit as our best estimate of our probable liability as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. While we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of any future review relating to the 2018 tax year or other open tax years, based on currently known information, we believe our risk of additional loss is remote and not estimable.

For additional information regarding our legal proceedings, refer to Note 13, "Contingencies and Accrued Losses," included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Background MasterBrand, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of residential cabinets in North America with a portfolio of leading residential cabinetry products for the kitchen, bathroom and other parts of the home. References to “MasterBrand,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to MasterBrand, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

Basis of Presentation Our consolidated financial statements are based on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in December in each calendar year. Our fiscal 2024 will consist of 52 weeks ending on December 29, 2024, while our fiscal 2023 consisted of 53 weeks ended on December 31, 2023.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, as well as the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and equity for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023 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 audited consolidated financial statements and notes. The 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Tornado at Jackson, GA Production Facility On January 12, 2023, a tornado hit the Company’s leased Jackson, Georgia production facility, causing damage to the Company’s assets and disrupting certain operations. Insurance, less applicable deductibles, covered the repair or replacement of the Company’s assets that suffered loss or damage, provided business interruption coverage, including lost profits, and reimbursement for other expenses and costs that were incurred relating to the damages and losses suffered. For the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023, the Company incurred expenses of $9.4 million solely related to damages caused by the tornado, and no additional expenses were incurred throughout the remainder of fiscal 2023. These expenses included compensation costs that we continued to pay skilled labor at the Jackson facility to enable a timely ramp up of production upon re-opening the facility on March 27, 2023, the first day of our fiscal second quarter of 2023, as well as the write-off of damaged inventory, freight costs to move product to other warehouses and professional fees to secure and maintain the site. During fiscal 2023, we received $7.4 million of insurance proceeds for direct costs caused by the tornado, of which no amounts were received during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023. Both the expenses and insurance recoveries were recorded as a component of cost of products sold in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Upon receipt of the final insurance proceeds in our fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, we considered this claim to be closed.

Accounting Standards Issued and Adopted
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have adopted and which have had a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Accounting Standards Issued, But Not Yet Adopted
Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss to assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity's segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures, providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and requiring other new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendments also remove certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Our principal performance obligations are the sale of high quality stock, semi-custom and premium cabinetry, as well as vanities, for the kitchen, bath and other parts of the home (collectively, “goods” or “products”). We recognize revenue for the sale of goods based on our assessment of when control transfers to our customers, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery of the products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods to our customers. Payment terms on our product sales normally range from 30 to 90 days. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that we collect are excluded from revenue. The expected costs associated with our contractual warranties are recognized as expense when the products are sold. See Note 13, "Contingencies and Accrued Losses," for further discussion.

We record estimates to reduce revenue for customer programs and incentives, which are considered variable consideration, and include price discounts, volume-based incentives, promotions and cooperative advertising when revenue is recognized in order to determine the amount of consideration the Company will ultimately be entitled to receive. These estimates are based on historical and projected experience for each type of customer. In addition, for certain customer program incentives, we receive an identifiable benefit (goods or services) in exchange for the consideration given and record the associated expenditure in selling, general and administrative expenses. We account for shipping and handling costs that occur after the customer has obtained control of a product as a fulfillment activity (i.e., as an expense) rather than as a promised service (i.e., as a revenue element). These costs are classified within selling, general and administrative expenses.
Settlement of our outstanding accounts receivable balances normally occurs within 30 to 90 days of the original sale transaction date. Obligations arise for us from customer rights to return our goods, including among others, product obsolescence, stock rotations, trade-in agreements for newer products and upon termination of a customer contract. We estimate future product returns at the time of sale based on historical experience and record a corresponding refund obligation, which amounted to $1.8 million and $2.1 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Refund obligations are classified within other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Return assets related to the refund obligation are measured at the carrying amount of the goods at the time of sale, less any expected costs to recover the goods and any expected reduction in value.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into (i) major sales distribution channels and (ii) total sales to customers by shipping location, as these categories depict the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows that are affected by economic factors. The following table disaggregates our consolidated revenue by major sales distribution channels and by shipping location for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and March 26, 2023.

Practical Expedients
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs the Company incurs that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained. These costs are required to be recognized as assets and amortized over the period that the related goods or services transfer to the customer. As a practical expedient, we expense as incurred costs to obtain a contract when the expected amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Allowance for Credit Losses
Our primary allowance for credit losses is the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reduces the trade accounts receivable balance to the estimated net realizable value that is expected to be collected. The allowance is based on assessments of current creditworthiness of customers, historical collection experience, the aging of receivables and other currently available evidence. Trade accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if a final determination of uncollectibility is made. All provisions for allowances for doubtful collection of accounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

There were no impairments of goodwill or indefinite-lived assets for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. There were no triggering events requiring an impairment assessment be conducted in the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024. However, it is possible that future changes in circumstances would require the Company to record additional non-cash impairment charges.

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]  
Financial Instruments 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. 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.

We account for derivative instruments as follows:

Derivative instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges - The changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are reported in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income when the hedged item affects earnings. In all periods presented, the recognized gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized in cost of products sold on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Derivative instruments that are designated as fair value hedges - The gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized in other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Derivative instruments that are designated as net investment hedges - The changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of income when realized upon sale or upon complete or substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity.

As of and for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and March 26, 2023, we have only entered into foreign currency forward contracts, some of which have been designated as fair value hedges and some of which have been designated as cash flow hedges. We may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to protect against foreign exchange risks associated with certain existing assets and liabilities, forecasted future cash flows, and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Foreign exchange contracts related to forecasted future cash flows correspond to the periods of the forecasted transactions, which generally do not exceed 12 to 15 months subsequent to the latest balance sheet date.

Our primary foreign currency hedge contracts pertain to the Mexican peso and the Canadian dollar. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all foreign currency derivative hedges outstanding at March 31, 2024 was $81.8 million, representing a net settlement asset of $3.8 million. Based on foreign exchange rates as of March 31, 2024, we estimate that the $3.5 million of net derivative gains associated with cash flow hedges and included in accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2024 will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months.

The fair values of foreign exchange derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were:

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
ASC requirements for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. Level 1 inputs, the highest priority, are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs reflect other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are either observable directly or through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability, such as internally-developed valuation models. We do not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that are Level 3, except for certain assumptions in estimating the fair value of indefinite-lived tradenames, as discussed in Note 8, "Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

On November 18, 2022, the Company entered into a 5-year, $1.25 billion credit agreement, consisting of a $750.0 million term loan and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “2022 Credit Agreement”). The 2022 Credit Agreement is secured by certain assets as well as the guarantee of certain of our subsidiaries. The $750.0 million term loan has quarterly required amortization payments that began in March 2023.

During the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023, the Company made total payments of $28.1 million on the term loan, consisting of a $4.7 million required payment due September 2023, and $23.4 million of required amortization payments due during each of the next three quarters. We did not make any additional term loan payments during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 or the first quarter of fiscal 2024, and as of March 31, 2024 we are paid in advance for our next scheduled quarterly payment due during the second quarter of 2024. Total amounts outstanding under the term loan as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $712.5 million. The revolving credit facility was paid in full during the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The revolving credit facility did not have an outstanding balance as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $477.3 million of availability under its revolving credit facility, which consists of our $500.0 million revolving credit facility less outstanding letters of credit.

Interest rates under these facilities are variable based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s net leverage ratio, as measured by net leverage to our consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Consolidated EBITDA”). Interest rates can range from SOFR plus 1.85 percent to SOFR plus 2.60 percent. Net leverage is defined as consolidated total indebtedness minus certain cash and cash equivalents. 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. The net leverage ratio may not exceed 3.875 to 1.0 at the initial borrowing through the second fiscal quarter of 2023, adjusting downward in various future quarters before settling at 3.25 to 1.0 in January 2025. As of March 31, 2024, the net leverage ratio may not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. The Company also is required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio, defined as Consolidated EBITDA compared to consolidated interest expense, of 3.0 to 1.0.

The Company’s 2022 Credit Agreement contains additional covenants which limit or preclude certain corporate actions based upon the measurement of certain financial covenant metrics. The Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Interest paid on debt was $14.1 million and $17.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and March 26, 2023, respectively.

Income Taxes Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, and March 26, 2023, were 23.5 percent and 26.9 percent, respectively. The net decrease in the effective tax rate between the periods is primarily due to the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates, the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested, state and local income taxes and deferred tax liability for foreign earnings, partially offset by changes in foreign income inclusions with offsetting foreign tax credits.

The difference between our effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent is due to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, foreign income inclusions with offsetting tax credits and nondeductible compensation partially offset by the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested and the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.

Pension and Other Postretirement Plans Pension and Other Postretirement Plans
We have a defined benefit pension plan in the United States covering many of the Company’s associates. In addition, the Company provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits to certain retirees. The defined benefit pension plan has been frozen to new participants and benefit accruals were frozen for active participants on or before December 31, 2016. During 2023, the Board of Directors of MasterBrand approved a plan to terminate the defined benefit pension plan. The termination and settlement process, which preserves retirement benefits due to participants but changes the ultimate payor of such benefits, is expected to take up to 24 months to complete, subject to receipt of customary regulatory approvals. During 2024, the Company is offering a lump-sum benefit payout option to certain plan participants. During 2025, we expect to complete the purchase of group annuity contracts that will transfer any remaining pension benefit obligation to an insurance company.

The components of net periodic cost (benefit) for pension and other postretirement plans for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and March 26, 2023, respectively, are as set forth in the tables below. Service cost is classified as either a component of cost of products sold or within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income, based on the nature of the job responsibilities of the associates participating in the plans. All other components of net periodic cost (benefit) are classified as other (income) expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Litigation

The Company is a defendant in lawsuits that are ordinary routine litigation matters incidental to our business and operations. In addition, other matters, including tax assessments, audits, claims and governmental investigations and proceedings covering a wide range of matters are pending against us. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any such matters, 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. However, such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. The Company regularly undergoes tax audits in various jurisdictions in which our products are sold or manufactured. In the future, such costs or an unfavorable outcome could have a material impact on our condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Following an audit for the 2018 tax year, the Mexican tax administration service, the Servicio de Administración Tributaria, (the “SAT”), issued a tax assessment in the amount of approximately $54.9 million to our subsidiary, Woodcrafters Home Products, S. de R.L. de C.V., for allegedly failing to make certain tax payments and to export timely certain merchandise. The Company disputed these findings and the SAT annulled their decision on January 11, 2024. In order to prevent the 2018 tax year from further audit by the SAT, the Company has filed an action to declare this annulment final in the specialized court of trade and customs in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Sala Especializada en Materia de Comercio Exterior y Auxiliar – Noreste, Tribunal Federal de Justicia Administrativa. We reserved an immaterial amount related to the 2018 tax year audit as our best estimate of our probable liability as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. While we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of any future review relating to the 2018 tax year or other open tax years, based on currently known information, we believe our risk of additional loss is remote and not estimable.

Environmental
We reserve for remediation activities to clean up potential environmental liabilities as required by federal and state laws based on our best estimate of undiscounted future costs, excluding possible insurance recoveries or recoveries from other third parties. There were no material environmental accruals as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Stock Repurchase Program Stock Repurchase Program
On May 9, 2023, we announced our authorization of a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $50.0 million of MasterBrand common stock over a twenty-four month period at management’s discretion for general corporate purposes. As a result of this authorization, we may repurchase shares from time to time through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block trades or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and under Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and amount of our purchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, our available capital resources, our financial and operational performance, alternative uses of capital and other factors. We may limit or terminate the repurchase program at any time.

During the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024, we repurchased 104,000 shares of our common stock under this program. The shares were repurchased at a cost of approximately $1.9 million, or an average of $18.29 per share, during the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, $26.1 million remained authorized for purchase under our stock repurchase program.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation Our consolidated financial statements are based on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in December in each calendar year. Our fiscal 2024 will consist of 52 weeks ending on December 29, 2024, while our fiscal 2023 consisted of 53 weeks ended on December 31, 2023.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, as well as the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and equity for the thirteen weeks ended March 31, 2024 and the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2023 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 audited consolidated financial statements and notes. The 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Accounting Standards Issued, But Not Yet Adopted
Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss to assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity's segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures, providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and requiring other new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which is intended to enhance the transparency, decision usefulness and effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a public entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public entity is also required to provide a qualitative description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The amendments also remove certain disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial. The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
