Financial report summary
?Risks
- Our business primarily relies on U.S. and Canadian home improvement, R&R and new home construction activity levels, all of which are impacted by risks associated with fluctuations in the housing market. Unfavorable changes in the general economy, the housing market, interest rates, inflation or other business conditions could adversely affect our results of operations.
- The cabinet industry is highly competitive with relatively low barriers to entry and market share losses could occur. Competition has further intensified as a result of current economic conditions. We compete with numerous large national and regional companies for, among other things, customers, raw materials, skilled management and labor resources.
- We face competition with respect to some of our products from competitors who operate in countries with lower labor and compliance costs. These competitors may also benefit from certain local government subsidies or other incentives that are not available to us.
- We could lose market share if we do not successfully develop new products or processes or improve existing products or processes.
- Our businesses rely on the performance of dealers, retailers and other marketing arrangements and could be adversely affected by poor performance or other disruptions impacting our distribution channels and customers.
- The loss of any of our significant customers or a reduction in the quantity of products they purchase could affect our financial health.
- Certain of our customers may expand through consolidation and internal growth, which may increase their buying power. The increased size of our customers could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
- Failure to maintain the performance, reliability and quality of our products, or to timely deliver our products, could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
- Risks associated with our ability to improve organizational productivity and global supply chain efficiency and flexibility could adversely affect our results of operations.
- Risks associated with global commodity and energy availability and price volatility, as well as the possibility of sustained inflation, could adversely affect our results of operations.
- Failure to attract and retain qualified personnel and other labor constraints, including increases in labor costs, potential labor disputes and work stoppages, could adversely affect our results of operations.
- COVID-19 impacted our business in the past and future global pandemics would likely cause disruptions to our business and results of operations.
- We may experience delays or outages in our information technology systems and computer networks. We may be subject to breaches of our information technology systems, which could damage our reputation and consumer relationships. Such breaches could subject us to significant financial, legal and operational consequences.
- Data privacy considerations could impact our business.
- We manufacture, source and sell products internationally and are exposed to risks associated with doing business globally, including risks associated with uncertain trade environments.
- Disruption of operations could adversely affect our profitability and competitive position.
- Inability to obtain raw materials and finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner from suppliers could adversely affect our ability to manufacture and market our products.
- We are dependent on third-party suppliers and service providers.
- Risks associated with strategic acquisitions and joint ventures could adversely affect our results of operations.
- Impairment charges could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.
- Our pension costs and funding requirements could increase as a result of volatility in the financial markets and changes in interest rates and actuarial assumptions, or the decision to transfer administration of the pension plan to a third-party.
- We have debt obligations, and may in the future incur additional debt obligations, that could adversely affect our business and profitability and our ability to meet our other obligations.
- Changes in government and industry regulatory standards could adversely affect our results of operations.
- Potential liabilities and costs from claims and litigation could adversely affect our results of operations.
- Failure to comply with laws, government regulations and other requirements could adversely affect our results of operations.
- We may be subject to significant compliance costs, as well as liabilities under environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations.
- Climate change and related legislative and regulatory initiatives could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
- ESG matters may adversely impact our business and reputation and we may be required to make material expenditures to respond to customer needs and investor expectations regarding ESG matters.
- Changes in tax laws or regulations may have a negative impact on our results of operations.
- Tax audits may result in findings that have a negative impact on our results of operations.
- Our inability to secure and protect our intellectual property rights could negatively impact revenues and brand reputation.
- We have a very short operating history as an independent, publicly-traded company, and our historical consolidated financial statements are not necessarily representative of the results we would have achieved as an independent, publicly-traded company and may not be reliable indicators of our future results.
- Following the Separation, our financial profile has changed, and we are a smaller, less diversified company than Fortune Brands prior to the Separation.
- The terms we received in our agreements with Fortune Brands could be less beneficial than the terms we may have otherwise received from unaffiliated third parties, and Fortune Brands may fail to perform under such agreements.
- Fortune Brands may fail to perform under various transaction agreements that were executed as part of the Separation, which could cause us to incur expenses or losses we would not otherwise incur.
- In connection with the Separation, each of Fortune Brands and MasterBrand are indemnifying each other for certain liabilities. If we are required to pay under these indemnities to Fortune Brands, our results of operations could be negatively impacted. The Fortune Brands indemnities may not be sufficient to hold MasterBrand harmless from the full amount of liabilities for which Fortune Brands will be allocated responsibility, and Fortune Brands may not be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations in the future.
- If the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, were to fail to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, then we, Fortune Brands and our stockholders could be subject to significant tax liability or tax indemnity obligations.
- We might not be able to engage in desirable strategic transactions and equity issuances following the Distribution because of certain restrictions relating to requirements for tax-free distributions.
- A court could deem the Distribution to be a fraudulent conveyance and void the transaction or impose substantial liabilities upon us.
- The market price of our shares of common stock may fluctuate significantly.
- We rely on dividends, distributions, and transfers of funds from our subsidiaries, and we could be harmed if such distributions were not made in the future, because we are a holding company with no operations of our own.
- Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws and provisions of Delaware law may prevent or delay an acquisition of us, even if that change may be considered beneficial by some of our stockholders.
- Our charter contains an exclusive forum provision that may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors and officers.
- We cannot guarantee that our stock repurchase program will be fully consummated or will enhance long-term stockholder value, and stock repurchases could increase the volatility of our stock prices and could diminish our cash reserves.
Management Discussion
- Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than purely historical information, including, but not limited to, estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are forward-looking statements. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the word “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may increase,” “may fluctuate,” 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 the current plans and expectations of our management. Although we believe that these statements are based on reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those indicated in such statements. These factors include those listed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 within Part I, Item 1A.
- The forward-looking statements included in this document are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, except pursuant to any obligations to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update, amend or clarify any forward-looking statements to reflect events, new information or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
