NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to fairly state our financial position at March 31, 2026, and our results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted ("GAAP") in the United States of America. Within the financial statements and tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes.
In the first quarter of 2026, we began the implementation of an internal reorganization to further streamline our business and optimize operations resulting in the integration of our Liberty Hardware ("Liberty") business, a distributor of cabinet and other hardware and shower doors, into our Delta Faucet business. Prior to this reorganization Liberty had historically been included in our Decorative Architectural Products segment. As a result of the integration, all segment information herein, including comparable prior periods, include Liberty in our Plumbing Products segment rather than our Decorative Architectural Products segment.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets," which provides a practical expedient that allows entities to assume the current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. We adopted this standard on a prospective basis for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2026. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, "Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities," which establishes guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants received by business entities. ASU 2025-10 is effective on a modified prospective, modified retrospective, or retrospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2029. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this standard and the impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software," which requires that an entity capitalize internal-use software development costs once management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. ASU 2025-06 is effective on a prospective, modified transition, or retrospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this standard and the impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial position and results of operations.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses," which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective on a prospective or retrospective basis for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will modify our disclosures, but will not have an impact on our financial position and results of operations.

E. SUPPLIER FINANCE PROGRAM
We facilitate a voluntary supply chain finance program (the "program") to provide certain of our suppliers with the opportunity to sell receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. The amounts confirmed as valid under the program were $35 million and $26 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Of the amounts confirmed as valid under the program, the amounts owed to participating financial institutions were $19 million and $17 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
F. DEBT
On March 20, 2026, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (the "2026 Credit Agreement") with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion and a maturity date of March 20, 2031. At our request (which may not be exercised more than two times), the maturity may be extended for an additional one-year period, in each case subject to customary terms and conditions, including the consent of lenders holding at least a majority of the commitments and outstanding credit exposure under the 2026 Credit Agreement at the time. In addition, we may, at our option, request an increase in the aggregate commitment under the 2026 Credit Agreement of up to $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions. Upon entry into the 2026 Credit Agreement, our credit agreement dated April 26, 2022, with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion, was terminated.
The 2026 Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility available to us and one of our foreign subsidiaries in U.S. dollars, European euros, British pounds sterling, Canadian dollars and certain other currencies for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit. Borrowings under the revolving credit loans denominated in any agreed upon currency other than U.S. dollars are limited to the equivalent of $500 million. We can also borrow swingline loans up to $120 million and obtain letters of credit of up to $25 million. Outstanding letters of credit under the 2026 Credit Agreement reduce our borrowing capacity and we had no outstanding letters of credit under the 2026 Credit Agreement at March 31, 2026.

MASCO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
F. DEBT (Concluded)
Revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. dollars bear interest under the 2026 Credit Agreement, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to (A) a U.S. dollar base rate or (B) the adjusted term SOFR rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. Foreign currency revolving credit loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable floating reference rate for loans denominated in the relevant foreign currency plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. The various benchmarks are subject to applicable floors.
The 2026 Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain (A) a net leverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not exceeding 4.0 to 1.0, and (B) an interest coverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not less than 2.5 to 1.0.
In order for us to borrow under the 2026 Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in our covenants in the 2026 Credit Agreement (i.e., in addition to the two financial covenants described above, principally limitations on subsidiary debt, negative pledge restrictions, and requirements relating to legal compliance, maintenance of our properties and insurance) and our representations and warranties in the 2026 Credit Agreement must be true in all material respects on the date of borrowing (i.e., principally no material adverse change or litigation likely to result in a material adverse change, since December 31, 2025, no material ERISA or environmental non-compliance, and no material tax deficiency). We were in compliance with all covenants and $127 million was borrowed and outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 4.690% at March 31, 2026.
On April 21, 2026, we entered into a two year, up to $500 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan due April 21, 2028 with a syndicate of lenders. The senior unsecured term loan and commitments thereunder are subject to prepayment at our option and the loans will bear interest, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to (A) a U.S. dollar base rate, (B) the adjusted term SOFR rate, or (C) the adjusted daily simple SOFR rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. The various benchmarks are subject to applicable floors. The covenants are substantially the same as those in the 2026 Credit Agreement.
Fair Value of Debt. The fair value of our short-term and long-term fixed-rate debt instruments is based principally upon modeled market prices for the same or similar issues, which are Level 1 inputs. The aggregate estimated market value of our short-term and long-term debt at March 31, 2026 was approximately $2.8 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.1 billion. The aggregate estimated market value of our short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2025 was approximately $2.7 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.0 billion.
G. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our reportable segments are as follows:

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

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Due to a dynamic geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, we are experiencing, and may continue to experience, lower market demand for our products. We have been experiencing, and may continue to experience, elevated commodity and other input costs, as well as employee-related cost inflation. Additionally, we have been experiencing, and may continue to experience, significantly higher costs to us, principally in our Plumbing Products segment, due to tariffs, particularly those related to China. We seek to mitigate the impact of higher tariffs and other costs over time with pricing, cost savings initiatives, sourcing changes, and other activities. Consumer demand for our products, however, could further diminish if consumer confidence erodes and the price of our products and other consumer goods increases. We are monitoring developments following the recent Supreme Court ruling related to tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which may create the potential for previously paid tariffs to be refunded by the U.S. government; however, the ability to recover, and the timing and amount of any potential refunds are uncertain, and at this time we cannot reasonably estimate the financial impact to us, if any. As of March 31, 2026, we have not recognized any amounts associated with potential refunds related to these tariffs.
We continue to execute our strategies of leveraging our strong brand portfolio, our industry-leading positions and the Masco Operating System, our methodology to drive growth and productivity, to create long-term shareholder value. We remain confident in the fundamentals of our business and long-term strategy. We believe that our strong financial position and cash flow generation, together with our investments in our industry-leading branded building products, our continued focus on innovation and customer service and disciplined capital allocation, will allow us to drive long-term growth and create value for our shareholders.
From time to time, we take actions to drive efficiency in our business through the strategic rationalization of our businesses, including business consolidations, plant closures, headcount reductions and other cost savings initiatives. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we began implementing various restructuring actions to further streamline our business, reduce headcount, and optimize operations. In connection with these actions, we incurred approximately $8 million in charges in the first quarter of 2026 and we expect to incur approximately $50 million in charges during the full year of 2026. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2026, we began the implementation of an internal reorganization resulting in the integration of our Liberty Hardware ("Liberty") business, a distributor of cabinet and other hardware and shower doors, into our Delta Faucet business. As a result of the integration, all segment information herein, including comparable prior periods, include Liberty in our Plumbing Products segment rather than our Decorative Architectural Products segment.
FIRST QUARTER 2026 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER 2025
Consolidated Results of Operations
We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, we believe that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios used in managing the business may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. Non-GAAP performance measures and ratios should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results under GAAP. Within the tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers for disclosure purposes.
The following discussion of consolidated results of operations refers to the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview of Capital Structure
We had cash and cash investments of approximately $388 million and $647 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Our cash and cash investments consist of overnight interest bearing money market demand accounts, time deposit accounts, and money market mutual funds containing government securities and treasury obligations. While we attempt to diversify these investments in a prudent manner to minimize risk, it is possible that future changes in the financial markets could affect the security or availability of these investments. Of the cash and cash investments we held at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $313 million and $306 million, respectively, was held in our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds were needed for our operations in the U.S., their repatriation into the U.S. would not result in significant additional U.S. income tax or foreign withholding tax, as we have recorded such taxes on substantially all undistributed foreign earnings, except for those that are legally restricted.
We believe that our present cash balance and cash flows from operations, and borrowing availability under our revolving credit agreement, are sufficient to fund our near-term working capital and other investment needs. We believe that our longer-term working capital and other general corporate requirements will be satisfied through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, from bank borrowings and future financial market activities. However, due to the changing market conditions and its impact on our customers and suppliers, we are unable to fully estimate the extent of the impact that the changing market conditions may have on our future financial condition.
Credit Agreement
On March 20, 2026, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (the "2026 Credit Agreement") with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion and a maturity date of March 20, 2031. At our request (which may not be exercised more than two times), the maturity may be extended for an additional one-year period, in each case subject to customary terms and conditions, including the consent of lenders holding at least a majority of the commitments and outstanding credit exposure under the 2026 Credit Agreement at the time. Upon entry into the 2026 Credit Agreement, our credit agreement dated April 26, 2022, with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion, was terminated.
Under the 2026 Credit Agreement, we may, at our option, request an increase in the aggregate commitment under the 2026 Credit Agreement of up to $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions. See Note F to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
The 2026 Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain (A) a net leverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not exceeding 4.0 to 1.0, and (B) an interest coverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not less than 2.5 to 1.0. We were in compliance with all covenants and $127 million was borrowed and outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 4.690% at March 31, 2026.
Term Loan
On April 21, 2026, we entered into a two year, up to $500 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan due April 21, 2028 with a syndicate of lenders. The senior unsecured term loan and commitments thereunder are subject to prepayment at our option and the loans will bear interest, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to (A) a U.S. dollar base rate, (B) the adjusted term SOFR rate, or (C) the adjusted daily simple SOFR rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. The various benchmarks are subject to applicable floors. The covenants are substantially the same as those in the 2026 Credit Agreement. We intend to utilize the available funds to repurchase shares of our common stock.
17
Other Liquidity and Capital Resource Activities
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our cash flow and related liquidity, we work with suppliers to optimize our terms and conditions, including extending payment terms. We also facilitate a voluntary supply chain finance program (the "program") to provide certain of our suppliers with the opportunity to sell receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. The amounts confirmed as valid under the program and included in accounts payable were $35 million and $26 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Of the amounts confirmed as valid under the program, the amounts owed to participating financial institutions were $19 million and $17 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. All payments made under the program are recorded as a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. A downgrade in our credit rating or changes in the financial markets could limit the financial institutions' willingness to commit funds to, and participate in, the program. We do not believe such risk would have a material impact on our working capital or cash flows, as substantially all of our payments are made outside of the program.
Share Repurchases
Effective February 10, 2026, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, for retirement, of up to $2.0 billion of shares of our common stock, exclusive of excise tax, in open-market transactions or otherwise, replacing the previous Board of Directors authorization established in 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased and retired approximately 3.1 million shares of our common stock (including 0.3 million shares to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted in the three months ended March 31, 2026) for approximately $203 million, inclusive of excise tax of $2 million. At March 31, 2026, we had approximately $1.9 billion remaining under the 2026 authorization. Consistent with our long-term capital allocation strategy, outside of any potential acquisitions, we currently anticipate using at least $800 million of cash, including funds available under the delayed draw term loan, for share repurchases in 2026.
Cash Flows
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used for operations was $79 million, primarily driven by changes in working capital, partially offset by operating profit.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used for financing activities was $137 million, primarily due to $202 million for the repurchase and retirement of our common stock and $65 million for the payment of cash dividends, partially offset by $127 million of net proceeds from revolving credit loan borrowings.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used for investing activities was $36 million, primarily driven by $34 million of capital expenditures.
