MasterBrand: Investor Day 2022 Appendix


 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“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, and free cash flow, 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. 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. As required by SEC rules, see the Appendix of this presentation for detailed reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We have not provided a reconciliation of our fiscal 2023 and long-term adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin 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 the high variability and low visibility with respect to gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans and restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin. 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. 15

As a standalone public company, we expect that the costs we incur on a standalone basis for such expenses previously allocated to us by Fortune Brands and new costs relating to our public company reporting and compliance obligations will be less than the expense allocations from Fortune Brands within our historical financial statements. The costs of MasterBrand we plan to incur are based on our expected organizational structure and expected cost structure as a standalone company. In order to determine the impact of the synergies and dissynergies, MasterBrand prepared a detailed assessment of personnel costs based on the estimated resources and associated costs required as a baseline to stand up MasterBrand as a standalone company. In addition to personnel costs, estimated nonpersonnel third party support costs in each function were considered, which included business support functions and corporate overhead charges previously shared with Fortune Brands. Estimated non personnel third party support costs were determined by estimating third party spend in each function, and include the costs associated with outside services supporting information technology, finance, executive, human resources, supply chain, internal audit and legal services. This process was used by all functions resulting in expected net cost savings when compared to the corporate allocations from Fortune Brands included in the historical financial statements. [2] Separation costs represent one-time costs incurred directly by MasterBrand related to the separation from Fortune Brands. [3] Restructuring charges are nonrecurring costs incurred to implement significant cost reduction initiatives and may consist of workforce reduction costs, facility closure costs, and other costs to maintain certain facilities where operations have ceased, but which we are still responsible for. The restructuring charges for the periods presented are comprised primarily of workforce reduction costs. [4] 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. Such costs may include losses on disposal of inventories from exiting product lines, accelerated depreciation expense, and gains/losses on the sale of facilities closed as a result of restructuring actions. Restructuring-related adjustments are recoveries of previously recorded restructuring-related charges resulting from changes in estimates of accruals recorded in prior periods. Restructuring-related charges/(adjustments) for the periods presented are related primarily to the reserves for losses on disposal of inventories. [5] The thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022, includes a $26.0 million pre-tax impairment charge related to the impairment of an indefinite lived trade name.
