Griffon uses adjusted income from continuing operations, and the related adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations as key metrics in evaluating performance. These key metrics are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of retirement plan events, non-cash impairment charges, loss from debt extinguishment, acquisition related expenses and discrete and certain other tax items, as well as other items that may affect comparability, as applicable. Griffon believes this information is useful to investors. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to income from continuing operations, to adjusted income from continuing operations and earnings per share from continuing operations, to adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations:

(2) The tax impact for the above reconciling adjustments from GAAP net income (loss) to non-GAAP adjusted income from continuing operations, and the related adjusted EPS from continuing operations, is determined by comparing the Company's tax provision, including the reconciling adjustments, to the tax provision excluding such adjustments. |
|||||||||||||||
(3) Discrete and certain other tax provisions (benefits) primarily relate to the impact of a rate differential between the statutory and annual effective tax rates on items impacting the quarter. |
|||||||||||||||
(4) For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, earnings (loss) per common share was calculated using basic weighted-average shares outstanding, as presented on the face of the Statement of Operations. The anti-dilutive share impact represents the impact of converting from basic shares used in calculating earnings (loss) per common share to the diluted shares used in calculating earnings (loss) per common share from a net loss. |

Griffon uses adjusted EBITDA as a key metric in evaluating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as income before taxes from continuing operations, excluding interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization, strategic review charges, and non-cash impairment charges, as well as other items that may affect comparability, as applicable. Griffon believes this information is useful to investors. The following tables provides a reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDA:

Griffon believes free cash flow ("FCF", a non-GAAP measure) from continuing operations is a useful measure for investors because it demonstrates the Company's ability to generate cash from operations for purposes such as repaying debt, funding acquisitions and paying dividends. FCF from continuing operations is defined as net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less capital expenditures, net of proceeds. The following table provides a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations to FCF from continuing operations:

Net debt to EBITDA (Leverage ratio), a non-GAAP measure, is a key financial measure that is used by management to assess the borrowing capacity of the Company. The Company has defined its net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio as net debt (total principal debt outstanding net of cash and equivalents) divided by the sum of trailing twelve-month (“TTM”) adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) and TTM stock-based compensation expense. The following table provides a calculation of our net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio as calculated per our credit agreement:

(1) Griffon defines EBITDA per bank compliance as operating results including discontinued operations and excluding EBITDA attributable to operations that were divested or ceased operations, interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges, debt extinguishment, net and acquisition related expenses, as well as other items that may affect comparability, as applicable, plus stock based compensation. See following table for calculation of TTM EBITDA, per debt compliance for the nine months ended June 30, 2026. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and year ended September 30, 2025, see the Company's previously reported earnings releases on Form 8-K furnished to the SEC. |
