Rhea-AI Filing Summary
MasterBrand, Inc. reported 2025 net sales of $2.73 billion, up 1.3% year-over-year, but profitability fell sharply. Net income dropped to $26.7 million from $125.9 million, and adjusted EBITDA declined to $298.2 million from $363.6 million, as margins were pressured by lower volumes, inflation and tariffs.
In the fourth quarter, the company posted a net loss of $42.0 million on net sales of $644.6 million, with adjusted EBITDA of $35.1 million, reflecting weaker demand and higher SG&A. Diluted EPS was $0.21 for 2025 versus $0.96 in 2024, while adjusted diluted EPS was $0.91 versus $1.40.
MasterBrand plans about $30 million of cost rationalization savings expected in 2026 and forecasts first-quarter 2026 net sales down mid- to high-single digits year-over-year, with adjusted EBITDA of $23–$33 million and adjusted diluted EPS between $(0.06) and $0.00. For full-year 2026, the company expects gross tariff costs equal to 5–6% of net sales, free cash flow above net income, and its addressable market down mid-single digits, while continuing integration planning for its pending combination with American Woodmark.
Positive
- Planned cost savings and synergy potential: Management is implementing about $30 million of cost rationalization expected in 2026 and highlights anticipated $90 million annual run-rate cost synergies by the end of year three following the pending American Woodmark combination, which together could materially support margins longer term.
- Solid liquidity and free cash flow focus: The company ended 2025 with $183.3 million of cash and $441.9 million of revolver availability, expects 2026 free cash flow to exceed net income, and has net debt to adjusted EBITDA at 2.7x, providing room to manage through softer markets and tariff headwinds.
Negative
- Sharp earnings and margin deterioration: 2025 net income fell to $26.7 million from $125.9 million, adjusted EBITDA declined to $298.2 million from $363.6 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin compressed from 13.5% to 10.9%, reflecting lower volume, higher costs and tariffs.
- Weak Q4 and cautious near-term outlook: Q4 2025 produced a $42.0 million net loss and adjusted EBITDA of $35.1 million, while Q1 2026 guidance calls for mid- to high-single-digit net sales decline and adjusted EBITDA of only $23–$33 million, signaling ongoing pressure.
- Tariff and market headwinds: For full-year 2026, management expects its addressable market to be down mid-single digits and projects gross tariff costs of approximately 5–6% of net sales, creating a significant earnings drag that must be offset by mitigation actions and pricing.

BEACHWOOD, Ohio.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 10, 2026-- MasterBrand, Inc. (NYSE: MBC, the “Company,” or “MasterBrand”), the largest residential cabinet manufacturer in North America, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results.
“In the fourth quarter, we continued taking decisive actions to strengthen MasterBrand, even as demand remained soft and the trade environment became more complex,” said Dave Banyard, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are executing a coordinated, multifaceted tariff mitigation plan, flexing our manufacturing network to match demand, and maintaining a sharp focus on cost management and cash generation. As part of these efforts, we are implementing targeted cost actions in the first quarter that are expected to deliver approximately $30 million of savings in 2026. At the same time, we remain focused on advancing our strategic priorities, including integration planning for the pending combination with American Woodmark.”
Banyard continued, “While market conditions remain challenging, we are confident in our strategy and our ability to emerge stronger and deliver long-term value for shareholders as market conditions normalize.”
Fourth Quarter 2025
Net sales were $644.6 million, a decrease of 3.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, following a mid-single-digit year-on-year market decline, partially offset by the continued flow through of previously implemented price and tariff-related pricing actions.
Gross profit was $167.5 million, compared to $203.3 million in the prior year. Gross profit margin decreased 440 basis points to 26.0% on lower volume, mix, and the related unfavorable fixed cost leverage, tariffs net of supply chain mitigation, and restructuring-related expenses, partially offset by net average selling price (“ASP”) improvements, our continuous improvement efforts, and Supreme integration synergies.
Net loss was $(42.0) million, compared to net income of $14.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, and net loss margin was (6.5)%, compared to net income margin of 2.1% in the prior year primarily as a result of lower gross profit and higher SG&A expenses, partially offset by lower interest expense and lower income tax expense.
1 - See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the corresponding financial tables at the end of this press release for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures.
1
Adjusted EBITDA1 was $35.1 million, compared to $74.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin1 decreased 580 basis points to 5.4% due to lower volume and the related unfavorable fixed cost leverage, tariffs net of supply chain mitigation, and material, freight, and personnel inflation, partially offset by continuous improvement efforts, net ASP improvements, and Supreme integration synergies.
Diluted loss per share was $(0.33) compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.11 in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted diluted loss per share1 was $(0.02) compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share1 of $0.22 in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Full Year 2025
Net sales were $2.7 billion, an increase of 1.3% compared to 2024, driven by a 5% contribution from Supreme and net ASP improvements, partially offset by a mid-single-digit market decline.
Gross profit was $827.6 million, compared to $877.0 million in the prior year. Gross profit margin decreased 220 basis points to 30.3% on lower volume and the related unfavorable fixed cost leverage, inflation, and tariffs. This was partially offset by net ASP improvements and the full year inclusion of Supreme and its related synergies.
Net income was $26.7 million, compared to $125.9 million in 2024, primarily due to lower gross profit and increased SG&A expense, partially offset by lower income tax expense. Net income margin was 1.0% compared to 4.7% in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA1 was $298.2 million, compared to $363.6 million in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin1 decreased 260 basis points to 10.9%, compared to 13.5% in the prior year, driven by lower volume and the related unfavorable fixed cost leverage, material, freight, and personnel inflation, tariffs net of supply chain mitigation, and incremental strategic investments, partially offset by net ASP improvements, including tariff-related pricing, and Supreme contributions and integration synergies.
Diluted earnings per share were $0.21 compared to $0.96 in 2024. Adjusted diluted earnings per share1 were $0.91 compared to $1.40 in 2024.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
As of December 28, 2025, the Company had $183.3 million in cash and $441.9 million of availability under its revolving credit facility. Total debt was $974.5 million, and ratio of total debt to net income from the most recent trailing twelve months was 36.5x as of December 28, 2025. For the same period, net debt1 was $791.2 million and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA1 was 2.7x.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $195.7 million for the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2025, compared to $292.0 million for the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 2024. Free cash flow1 was $117.5 million for the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2025, compared to $211.1 million for the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 2024. The declines in net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow were driven by the decline in net income versus the prior year.
During the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2025, the Company repurchased approximately 1.4 million shares of common stock for approximately $18.1 million. No share repurchases were made during the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company is restricted from repurchasing shares under its merger agreement with American Woodmark until the close of the merger.
First Quarter 2026 Financial Outlook
Continued macroeconomic uncertainty driven by a volatile trade environment and actions deferred ahead of the anticipated American Woodmark merger are driving greater variability in key performance drivers, cost inputs and near-term demand trends across MasterBrand’s end markets, limiting the Company’s ability to provide a full-year outlook with the level of confidence it believes is appropriate. As a result, MasterBrand is taking a measured approach to its outlook and is transitioning to providing quarterly guidance until longer-term visibility improves.
Additionally, to strengthen operating flexibility in the current environment, MasterBrand is implementing an expected $30 million of cost actions to align its cost structure with current demand levels. The Company expects to achieve these savings over the course of 2026, with benefits beginning in the first quarter.
For the first quarter of 2026, the Company expects the following:
•Net sales year-over-year decrease of mid-single-digit to high-single-digit percentage
•Adjusted EBITDA1,2 in the range of $23 to $33 million, with related adjusted EBITDA margin1,2 in the range of 3.9% to 5.3%
•Adjusted diluted earnings per share1,2 in the range of $(0.06) to $0.00
For full year 2026, MasterBrand expects its addressable market to be down mid-single digits. The Company also expects the following:
•Gross tariff costs of approximately 5-6% of 2026 net sales
•Interest expense to be flat to down year-over-year
•Effective tax rate to improve year-over-year
•Free cash flow to be in excess of 2026 net income
1 - See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the corresponding financial tables at the end of this press release for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures.
2 - We have not provided a reconciliation of our fiscal first quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted EPS guidance because the information needed to reconcile these measures is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred and which may be excluded from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted EPS. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation 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 used for historical non-GAAP measures.

This financial outlook only reflects the impact of those tariffs in effect as of the date of this release and the anticipated antidumping plywood duties, and does not reflect any other potential tariffs or tariff-related impacts on Company costs or end market demand. The Company believes the dynamic nature of the tariffs, specifically the uncertainty of implementation, potential timing and duration, limits the usefulness of estimating this information. MasterBrand undertakes no obligation to update this outlook as circumstances evolve. Additionally, this outlook does not reflect any anticipated financial benefits from the pending merger with American Woodmark, nor does it include expected transaction or integration-related costs.
“Our teams are actively advancing tariff mitigation initiatives, and we expect the benefits to accumulate over the course of 2026, supporting stronger profitability later in the year,” said Andi Simon, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “That said, evolving trade dynamics, the related ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, and actions deferred ahead of the pending American Woodmark merger have reduced near-term visibility. As a result, we are moving to quarterly guidance, which we believe will provide more decision-useful updates as our plan progresses and our visibility improves. Even in this environment, we remain confident in our strategy and our ability to bolster margins and deliver long-term value over time.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) in this earnings release, certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules have been included. It is our intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of our financial information as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our methods of determining these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies for these or similar non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.
We use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted diluted EPS”), free cash flow, net debt, and net debt to adjusted EBITDA, which are all non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We evaluate the performance of our business based on income before income taxes, but also look to EBITDA as a performance evaluation measure because interest expense is related to corporate functions, as opposed to operations. For that reason, we believe EBITDA is a useful metric to investors in evaluating our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by removing the impact of non-operational results and special items from EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Adjusted net income is calculated by removing the impact of non-operational results, including non-cash amortization expense, which is not deemed to be indicative of the results of current or future operations, and special items from net income. Adjusted net income margin is calculated as adjusted net income divided by net sales. Adjusted diluted EPS is a measure of our diluted earnings per share excluding non-operational results and special items. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as they are representative of our core operations and are used in the management of our business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance.
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is a useful measure to investors because it is a meaningful indicator of cash generated from operating activities available for the execution of our business strategy, and is used in the management of our business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Net debt is defined as total balance sheet debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides a measure to compare debt less cash and cash equivalents across periods on a consistent basis. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is calculated by dividing net debt by the trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is used by management to assess our financial leverage and ability to service our debt obligations.
5
As required by SEC rules, detailed reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the financial statement section of this earnings release. We have not provided a reconciliation of our fiscal first quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted EPS guidance because the information needed to reconcile these measures is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred, including restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted diluted EPS. 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 used for historical non-GAAP measures.

TICK LEGEND:
[1] Acquisition-related costs are transaction and integration costs, including legal, accounting and other professional fees, severance, stock-based compensation and other integration related costs. These charges are primarily recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs are significantly impacted by the timing and complexity of the underlying acquisition related activities and are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. The acquisition-related costs incurred in 2024 are associated with the acquisition of Supreme Cabinetry Brands, Inc., which was announced in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and closed early in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The acquisition-related costs in 2025 are primarily associated with the pending acquisition of American Woodmark, which is expected to close in early 2026. Costs for both acquisitions are comprised primarily of professional fees.
Certain of the acquisition-related costs incurred are deemed non-deductible for U.S. tax purposes. The tax impact of these non-deductible acquisition-related costs were $3.6 million and $4.3 million for the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2025, respectively, with the remaining full year costs being incurred in the thirteen week period ended September 28, 2025. For the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 2024, these non-deductible acquisition-related costs were $1.5 million, all of which were incurred in the thirteen week period ended September 29, 2024. These items are not deemed indicative of ongoing operations and have been excluded from the income tax impact of adjustments for the relevant periods.
[2] Restructuring charges are nonrecurring costs incurred to implement significant cost reduction initiatives and may consist of workforce reduction costs, facility closure costs, cessation of operations and other costs to maintain certain facilities where operations have ceased, but which we are still responsible for. The restructuring charges for all periods presented primarily include costs related to workforce reductions, lease abandonment and asset disposals for facilities that have been closed, but not yet sold.
[3] Restructuring-related charges are expenses directly related to restructuring initiatives that do not represent normal, recurring expenses necessary to operate the business, but cannot be reported as restructuring under GAAP. The restructuring-related charges for all periods presented primarily include losses on disposal of inventories from exiting product lines, losses on the sale of facilities closed as a result of restructuring actions and costs resulting from the redeployment of equipment within the manufacturing footprint.
[4] Allowance for credit loss represents a one‑time, non‑cash charge resulting from the Company’s assessment of the collectability of a specific customer’s receivable balance of $17.1 million as of December 28, 2025. The reserve relates entirely to sales recognized in 2025 and arose from facts and circumstances specific to this customer. The charge is recorded within selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and is not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance.
[5] Costs related to pending insurance claims, net of insurance proceeds are excluded as they are not deemed indicative of future operations. The costs recognized in 2025 are related to the incurrence of insurable events within the manufacturing footprint. We are pursuing insurance recoveries and any funds received will be used to offset these costs in future periods.
[6] We exclude the impact of actuarial gains and losses related to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan as they are not deemed indicative of future operations. In 2024, the Company made the decision to terminate our defined benefit pension plan, resulting in a $2.9 million non-cash settlement charge. During 2025, the Company recognized a net settlement gain of $0.4 million related to the final valuation of the pension plan.
[7] Non-recurring components of interest expense are one-time costs associated with the refinancing of debt facilities and usage of temporary debt facilities. The non-recurring components of interest expense in fiscal 2024 relate primarily to non-recurring write-offs of deferred financing costs resulting from the debt restructuring transaction. These charges are classified as interest expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance.
[8] Purchase accounting cost of products sold relates to the fair market value adjustment required under GAAP for inventory obtained in the acquisition of Supreme Cabinetry Brands, Inc. All inventory obtained was sold in the third quarter of 2024.
[9] Gain on sale of asset relates to a gain resulting from the sale of facilities and land on December 12, 2024. The location was previously closed in conjunction with the consolidation of our warehouse facilities to enable efficiencies and increase annual savings. This facility sold for a purchase price of $6.6 million, resulting in a $4.3 million gain recognized as a separate component of non-operating income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
[10] Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 reporting, management began adding back amortization of intangible assets in calculating adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS for all periods presented. Non-cash amortization expenses are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations.
[11] In order to calculate Adjusted Net Income, each of the items described in Items [1] - [10] above reflect tax effects based upon an estimated annual effective income tax rate of 25.0 percent, inclusive of recurring permanent differences and the net effect of state income taxes and excluding the impact of discrete income tax items. Certain discrete income tax items are adjusted for in the relevant period identified and may include, but are not limited to, changes in judgment or estimates of uncertain tax positions related to prior periods, return-to-provision adjustments, the tax effect of relevant stock-based compensation items, and certain changes in valuation allowances for the realizability of deferred tax assets. Management believes this approach assists investors in understanding the income tax provision and the estimated annual effective income tax rate related to ongoing operations.
The Company incurred valuation allowance charges for deferred foreign tax credits that the Company no longer estimates to be usable based on future foreign income estimates. The valuation charges incurred were $2.4 million and $4.4 million for the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2025, respectively, with the remaining full year costs being incurred in the thirteen week period ended September 28, 2025. The valuation charges incurred were $2.1 million and $2.7 million for the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 2024 respectively, with the remaining full year costs being incurred in the thirteen week period ended September 29, 2024. These charges are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and have been excluded from the income tax impact of adjustments for the relevant periods.

Please see Appendix for definitions and corresponding reconciliations to historical GAAP measures Q4 2025 Highlights
• Top-line performance was driven by a 5% contribution from Supreme and net ASP improvements, partially offset by a mid- single-digit market decline. • The y-o-y decline in net income was primarily due to lower gross profit and increased SG&A expense, partially offset by lower income tax expense. • Adjusted EBITDA margin1 declined primarily due to lower volume and the related unfavorable fixed cost leverage, material, freight, and personnel inflation, tariffs net of supply chain mitigation, and incremental strategic investments, partially offset by net average selling price improvements, including tariff related pricing, and Supreme contributions and integration synergies. 11 Financial Results 1 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP metrics.

First Quarter 2026 Outlook1 • Q1 2026 end markets are expected to be down mid- to high-single- digits year-over-year. • Adjusted EBITDA2 range primarily reflects the impact of lower expected volumes on fixed cost absorption, as well as the timing of benefit realization from our tariff mitigation and cost rationalization actions. • Outlook reflects typical fourth quarter to first quarter seasonal step- down. • Outlook only reflects tariffs in effect as of February 10, 2026, and the anticipated antidumping plywood duties. Outlook does not reflect any tariff-related tax considerations, nor does it reflect other potential tariff impact on company costs or end market demand. • Outlook does not reflect any anticipated financial benefits from the pending merger with American Woodmark and does not include expected transaction or integration-related costs. • Continuing a disciplined approach to spending while remaining committed to strategic investments in the business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United S tates (“GAAP”) in this presentation, certain non- GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules have been included. It is our intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of our financial information as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our methods of determining these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies for these or similar non- GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies. We use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, adjusted diluted ear nings per share (“adjusted diluted EPS”), free cash flow, net debt, and net debt to adjusted EBITDA, which are all non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We evaluate the performance of our business based on income before income taxes, but also look to EBITDA as a performance evaluation measure because interest expense is related to corporate functions, as opposed to operations. For that reason, we believe EBITDA is a useful metric to investors in evaluating our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by removing the impact of non-operational results and special items from EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Adjusted net income is calculated by removing the impact of non-operational results, including non-cash amortization expense, which is not deemed to be indicative of the results of current or future operations, and special items from net income. Adjusted net income margin is c alculated as adjusted net income divided by net sales. Adjusted diluted EPS is a measure of our diluted earnings per share excluding non-operational results and special items. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as they are representative of our core operations and are used in the management of our business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is a useful measure to investors because it is a meaningful indicator of cash generated from operating activities available for the execution of our business strategy, and is used in th e management of our business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Net debt is defined as total balance sheet debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides a measure to compare debt less cash and cash equivalents across periods on a consistent basis. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is calculated by dividing net debt by the trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is used by management to assess our financial leverage and ability to service our debt obligations. As required by SEC rules, detailed reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the appendix section of this presentation. We have not provided a reconciliation of our fiscal first quarter 2026 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted EPS guidance because the information needed to reconcile these measures is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred, including restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted diluted EPS. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Compan y’s accounting policies for future periods requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable ef fort. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions used for historical non-GAAP measures. 16

18 [1] Acquisition-related costs are transaction and integration costs, including legal, accounting and other professional fees, severance, stock-based compensation, and other integration related costs. These charges are primarily recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs are significantly impacted by the timing and complexity of the underlying acquisition related activities and are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. The acquisition-related costs incurred in 2024 are associated with the acquisition of Supreme Cabinetry Brands, Inc., which was announced in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and closed early in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The acquisition-related costs in 2025 are primarily associated with the pending acquisition of American Woodmark, which is expected to close in early 2026. Costs for both acquisitions are comprised primarily of professional fees. [2] Restructuring charges are nonrecurring costs incurred to implement significant cost reduction initiatives and may consist of workforce reduction costs, facility closure costs, cessation of operations, and other costs to maintain certain facilities where operations have ceased, but which we are still responsible for. The restructuring charges for all periods presented primarily include costs related to workforce reductions, lease abandonment and asset disposals for facilities that have been closed, but not yet sold. The fiscal 2024 restructuring charges also include an asset impairment charge associated with the decision to exit a leased manufacturing facility. [3] Restructuring-related charges (adjustments) are expenses directly related to restructuring initiatives that do not represent normal, recurring expenses necessary to operate the business, but cannot be reported as restructuring under GAAP. The restructuring-related charges for all periods presented primarily include losses on disposal of inventories from exiting product lines, losses on the sale of facilities closed as a result of restructuring actions, and costs resulting from the redeployment of equipment within the manufacturing footprint. The restructuring-related adjustments in fiscal 2023 are recoveries of previously recorded restructuring- related charges resulting from changes in estimates of accruals recorded in prior periods. [4] Gain on sale of asset relates to a gain resulting from the sale of facilities and land on December 12, 2024. The location was previously closed in conjunction with the consolidation of our warehouse facilities to enable efficiencies and increase annual savings. This facility sold for a purchase price of $6.6 million, resulting in a $4.3 million gain recognized as a separate component of non-operating income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. [5] We exclude the impact of actuarial gains and losses related to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan as they are not deemed indicative of future operations. In addition, during 2024, the Company offered a lump-sum benefit payout option to certain plan participants related to the decision to terminate our defined benefit pension plan, resulting in a $2.9 million non-cash settlement charge. During 2025, the Company recognized a net settlement gain of $0.4 million related to the final valuation of the pension plan. [6] Purchase accounting cost of products sold relates to the fair market value adjustment required under GAAP for inventory obtained in the acquisition of Supreme Cabinetry Brands, Inc. All inventory obtained was sold in the third quarter of 2024. [7] Separation costs represent one-time costs incurred directly by MasterBrand related to the separation from Fortune Brands. [8] We exclude the impact of pre-tax impairment charges related to impairments of indefinite-lived tradenames. [9] Costs related to pending insurance claims, net of insurance proceeds are excluded as they are not deemed indicative of future operations. The costs recognized in 2025 are related to the incurrence of insurable events within the manufacturing footprint. We are pursuing insurance recoveries and any funds received will be used to offset these costs in future periods. [10] Allowance for credit loss represents a one-time, non-cash charge resulting from the Company’s assessment of the collectability of a specific customer’s receivable balance of $17.1 million as of December 28, 2025. The reserve relates entirely to sales recognized in 2025 and arose from facts and circumstances specific to this customer. The charge is recorded within selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and is not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance.

The acquisition-related costs in 2025 are primarily associated with the pending acquisition of American Woodmark, which is expected to close in early 2026. Costs for both acquisitions are comprised primarily of professional fees. Certain of the acquisition-related costs incurred are deemed non-deductible for U.S. tax purposes. The tax impact of these non-deductible acquisition-related costs were $3.6 million and $4.3 million for the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2025, respectively, with the remaining full year costs being incurred in the thirteen week period ended September 28, 2025. For the fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 2024, these non-deductible acquisition-related costs were $1.5 million, all of which were incurred in the thirteen week period ended September 29, 2024. These items are not deemed indicative of ongoing operations and have been excluded from the income tax impact of adjustments for the relevant periods. [2] Restructuring charges are nonrecurring costs incurred to implement significant cost reduction initiatives and may consist of workforce reduction costs, facility closure costs, cessation of operations, and other costs to maintain certain facilities where operations have ceased, but which we are still responsible for. The restructuring charges for all periods presented primarily include costs related to workforce reductions, lease abandonment and asset disposals for facilities that have been closed, but not yet sold.

The reserve relates entirely to sales recognized in 2025 and arose from facts and circumstances specif ic to this customer. The charge is recorded within selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and is not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance.

The costs recognized in 2025 are related to the incurrence of insurable events within the manufacturing footprint. We are pursuing insurance recoveries and any funds received will be used to offset these costs in future periods. [6] We exclude the impact of actuarial gains and losses related to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan as they are not deemed indicative of future operations. In 2024, the Company made the decision to terminate our defined benefit pension plan, resulting in a $2.9 million non-cash settlement charge. During 2025, the Company recognized a net settlement gain of $0.4 million related to the final valuation of the pension plan. [7] Non-recurring components of interest expense are one-time costs associated with the refinancing of debt facilities and usage of temporary debt facilities. The non-recurring components of interest expense in fiscal 2024 relate primarily to non-recurring write-offs of deferred financing costs resulting from the debt restructuring transaction. These charges are classified as interest expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. [8] Purchase accounting cost of products sold relates to the fair market value adjustment required under GAAP for inventory obtained in the acquisition of Supreme Cabinetry Brands, Inc. All inventory obtained was sold in the third quarter of 2024. [9] Gain on sale of asset relates to a gain resulting from the sale of facilities and land on December 12, 2024. The location was previously closed in conjunction with the consolidation of our warehouse facilities to enable efficiencies and increase annual savings. This facility sold for a purchase price of $6.6 million, resulting in a $4.3 million gain recognized as a separate component of non-operating income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. [10] Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 reporting, management began adding back amortization of intangible assets in calculating adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS for all periods presented. Non-cash amortization expenses are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations. [11] In order to calculate Adjusted Net Income, each of the items described in Items [1] - [10] above reflect tax effects based upon an estimated annual effective income tax rate of 25.0 percent, inclusive of recurring permanent differences and the net effect of state income taxes and excluding the impact of discrete income tax items. Certain discrete income tax items are adjusted for in the relevant period identified and may include, but are not limited to, changes in judgment or estimates of uncertain tax positions related to prior periods, return-to-provision adjustments, the tax effect of relevant stock-based compensation items, and certain changes in valuation allowances for the realizability of deferred tax assets. Management believes this approach assists investors in understanding the income tax provision and the estimated annual effective income tax rate related to ongoing operations. The Company incurred valuation allowance charges for deferred foreign tax credits that the Company no longer estimates to be usable based on future foreign income estimates. The valuation charges incurred were $2.4 million and $4.4 million for the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2025, respectively, with the remaining full year costs being incurred in the thirteen week period ended September 28, 2025. The valuation charges incurred were $2.1 million and $2.7 million for the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 29, 2024 respectively, with the remaining full year costs being incurred in the thirteen week period ended September 29, 2024. These charges are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and have been excluded from the income tax impact of adjustments for the relevant periods. 21 2025 Non-GAAP Reconciliations Tick Legend
