Management Transition
On February 12, 2026, Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) appointed Mr. Amit Banati, a current director of the Company, as Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“CEO”), effective on May 13, 2026. Mr. Banati will succeed Mr. Fink who notified the Board on February 11, 2026 of his intention to resign as CEO and as a member of the Board, effective April 1, 2026. While serving as CEO, Mr. Banati will continue to serve as a Class II member of the Board. On February 12, 2026, the Company also announced that the Board appointed Ms. Susan S. Kilsby, on an interim basis, as Executive Chair effective February 12, 2026 and principal executive officer of the Company following the effective date of Mr. Fink’s resignation and prior to the commencement of Mr. Banati’s employment, after which time she will return to her role as Non-Executive Chair of the Board.
Mr. Banati, age 57, has served on the Board since September 2020. Mr. Banati has served as Chief Financial Officer of Kenvue, Inc., the world’s largest pure-play consumer health company by revenue, since May 2025. Prior to joining Kenvue, he served as Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of Kellanova (formerly Kellogg Company), a leader in global snacking, international cereal, noodles and frozen foods, from December 2022 to May 2025. He joined Kellogg Company, a multinational food manufacturing company, in 2011 serving as President for Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa until July 2019 when he was promoted to Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Ms. Kilsby, age 67, has served as a member of the Board since 2015 and as Non-Executive Chair of the Board since January 2021. Ms. Kilsby retired in May 2014 following a distinguished career in the global investment banking industry, with particular expertise in mergers and acquisitions, finance and international business. Ms. Kilsby served as Senior Advisor of Credit Suisse AG from 2009 until her retirement in 2014. Prior to that she served as Chairman and Head of Europe, Middle East, and Africa Mergers and Acquisitions at Credit Suisse AG. Prior to joining Credit Suisse, she held a variety of senior positions with The First Boston Corporation, Bankers Trust and Barclays de Zoete Wedd. Ms. Kilsby also has extensive board leadership experience. She currently serves as a Senior Independent Director of Diageo plc, a multinational alcoholic beverage company, as Vice Chair and Senior Independent Director of Unilever plc, a multinational consumer packaged goods company, and as a non-executive director of COFRA Holding plc, a retailing, real estate, asset management, private equity, renewable energy and sustainable food company. She previously served as Chair of the board of directors of Shire plc and on the board of directors of BHP Group plc and BHP Limited.
Mr. Fink’s decision to resign is not as a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Banati or Ms. Kilsby and any other persons pursuant to which they were selected as an officer of the Company. There are no family relationships between Mr. Banati or Ms. Kilsby and any director or executive officer of the Company and there are no transactions involving the Company that would be required to report pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with Mr. Banati’s appointment as CEO, the Company and Mr. Banati entered into an offer of employment (the “CEO Offer Letter”). Pursuant to the CEO Offer Letter, Mr. Banati’s compensation will consist of: (1) an annual base salary of $1,100,000; (2) an annual bonus target of 150% of his annual base salary; and (3) a long-term incentive compensation award with an annual target of $6,700,000. Mr. Banati’s long-term incentive award will be granted 50% in the form of performance share awards (“PSAs”), and 25% each in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options, with vesting terms consistent with the Company’s annual equity grants. In addition, Mr. Banati will receive “Make Whole Compensation” in the form of a one-time cash award of $8,000,000, which must be repaid on a pro rata basis in the event Mr. Banati voluntarily leaves the Company without good reason prior to the three-year anniversary of his start date, and a one-time long term incentive award of $6,000,000 in RSUs (the “Make Whole RSUs”), which will vest equally over three years.
Mr. Banati is eligible to enter into the Company’s Form of Agreement for the Payment of Benefits Following Termination of Employment, which has previously been filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, except that Mr. Banati’s severance multiple will be two in the case of a qualifying termination, increased to three in the event of a qualifying termination following a change of control. In addition, in the event of a termination for good reason, a termination of employment by the Company without cause, or termination of employment as a result of death or disability or a change in control of the Company in which the Make Whole RSUs are not assumed, the vesting of the Make Whole RSUs will be accelerated.
In recognition of Mr. Banati’s forfeiture of certain compensation from his current employer, in the event that, following Mr. Banati’s execution of the CEO Offer Letter and his satisfaction of the conditions of employment set forth in the CEO Offer Letter, the Company elects not to commence Mr. Banati’s employment on or prior to May 13, 2026 (other than as a result of his commission of an act which would, if Mr. Banati was employed by the Company, constitute “cause”), then the Company will pay a cash award equivalent to the Make Whole Compensation.

Fortune Brands Innovations Announces Fourth Quarter and
Full-Year 2025 Results
Highlights:
DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)—February 12, 2026--Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE: FBIN or “Fortune Brands” or the “Company”), an industry-leading home, security and digital products company whose purpose is to elevate every life by transforming spaces into havens, today announced fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results.
“In the fourth quarter and for the full year, our team navigated a challenging external environment. I’m proud of the way we responded to the external uncertainty while still driving meaningful progress across our strategic initiatives,” said Fortune Brands Chief Executive Officer Nicholas Fink. “However, we are not satisfied with our current profitability, and we are identifying further opportunities to structurally improve our performance and return the business to the level of profitability we expect. This includes taking decisive actions to refine our cost structure, optimize our operations and improve efficiency in a market that we believe will continue to be challenging.”
"In 2025, we outperformed our end market, and we remain confident in our strategy and will continue to invest in growth - specifically in brand building, meaningful innovation, and investing in our people. We are committed to operating with discipline today while positioning the business to win for years to come, particularly when markets return to growth,” said Fink.

For certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures (as used in this press release, operating margin before charges / gains on a full Company and segment basis, EPS before charges / gains, and free cash flow), the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure because the information needed to reconcile the non-GAAP financial measure to the GAAP financial measure is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and / or amount of various items that have not yet occurred, including the high variability and low visibility with respect to gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans, which are excluded from EPS before charges / gains, and restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from operating margin before charges / gains and EPS before charges / gains. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Company’s accounting policies for future periods requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions.

These and other factors are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024. We undertake no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any such obligation to, update or clarify any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, new information or changes to future results over time or otherwise, except as required by law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), such as diluted earnings per share before charges / gains, operating income before charges / gains, operating margin before charges / gains, general and administrative expenses before charges/gains, net debt, net debt to EBITDA before charges / gains, net sales excluding the impact of China, free cash flow and cash conversion ratio (defined as free cash flow divided by GAAP net income). These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP and may also be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these measures to the applicable most closely comparable GAAP measures, and reasons for the Company’s use of these measures, are presented in the attached pages.

Definitions of Terms: Non-GAAP Measures
(a) Operating income (loss) before charges/gains is calculated as operating income derived in accordance with GAAP, excluding restructuring and other charges/gains. Operating income (loss) before charges/gains is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the returns generated by the Company and its business segments. Management believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
(b) Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations before charges/gains is calculated as income from continuing operations on a diluted per-share basis, excluding restructuring and other charges/gains. This measure is not in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's overall performance and believes it provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's underlying performance from period to period. However, this measure may not be consistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
(c) EBITDA before charges/gains is calculated as income from continuing operations, net of tax in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other charges/gains, interest expense and income taxes. EBITDA before charges/gains is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to assess returns generated by the Company. Management believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions and repay debt and related interest. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
(d) At Corporate, other charges also include expenditures of $0.4 million in the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2024, respectively for external banking, legal, accounting, and other similar services directly related to our ASSA transaction.
(e) For the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2024, the amortization of inventory step-up associated with the acquisition of the ASSA business was $0.3 million within our Water segment.
(f) For the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 27, 2025, impairment charges of $3.5 million and $53.6 million were recorded related to the classification of certain assets to equal their fair value, less estimated costs to sell.
(g) For the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 27, 2025, we recognized $18.1 million and $21.1 million of losses, net of probable insurance recoveries, related to a fire at one of our manufacturing facilities within the Outdoors segment.
(h) For the fifty-two weeks ended December 27, 2025, professional fees incurred related to ongoing transformation initiatives was $3.0 million at Corporate.
(i) Free cash flow is cash flow from operations calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") less capital expenditures. Free cash flow does not include adjustments for certain non-discretionary cash flows such as mandatory debt repayments. Free cash flow is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that free cash flow provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions, repay debt and related interest, pay dividends and repurchase common stock. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
(j) Operating margin is calculated as the operating income in accordance with GAAP, divided by the GAAP net sales. The operating margin before charges/(gains) is calculated as the operating income, excluding restructuring and other charges/gains, divided by the GAAP net sales. The operating margin before charges/gains is not a measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the returns generated by the Company and its business segments. Management believes that this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's underlying performance from period to period. However, this measure may not be consistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
(k) Cash conversion ratio is free cash flow divided by net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Cash conversion ratio is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that cash conversion ratio provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions, repay debt and related interest, pay dividends and repurchase common stock. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures by other companies.
(l) Net sales excluding the impact of China sales is net sales derived in accordance with GAAP excluding the impact of China sales. Management uses this measure to evaluate the overall performance of its segments and believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company and its reportable segments from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
Additional Information:
For certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures (as used in this press release, operating margin before charges / gains on a full Company and segment basis, EPS before charges / gains and free cash flow), the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure because the information needed to reconcile the non-GAAP financial measure to the GAAP financial measure is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and / or amount of various items that have not yet occurred, including the high variability and low visibility with respect to gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans, which are excluded from EPS before charges / gains, and restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from operating margin before charges / gains and EPS before charges / gains. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Company’s accounting policies for future periods requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions.
