•Adjusted EBITDA margin1 decreased 160 basis points year-over-year to 14.6%

•Reiterates 2024 financial outlook

BEACHWOOD, Ohio.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 5, 2024-- MasterBrand, Inc. (NYSE: MBC, the “Company,” or “MasterBrand”), the largest residential cabinet manufacturer in North America, today announced third quarter 2024 financial results.

“We are pleased to announce that our third quarter financial performance was in-line with our expectations, as we continued to navigate choppiness in our end markets,” said Dave Banyard, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our associates performed at an exceptionally high level in the quarter, delivering on our core business objectives and making steady progress on the integration of our Supreme acquisition. We are encouraged to see our highly complementary products, dealer channel and operations coming together as planned.”

“As we look to close out 2024, we remain focused on positioning the Company for growth in any end market environment and delivering superior financial returns for our shareholders,” Banyard continued.

Third Quarter 2024

Net sales were $718.1 million, an increase of 6% compared to the third quarter of 2023, driven by the 9% of growth from our Supreme acquisition. This increase was partially offset by lower average selling price (ASP) of 3%, with volume and foreign exchange having no impact on year-over-year performance. Gross profit was $238.0 million, compared to $237.5 million in the prior year. Gross profit margin decreased 200 basis points to 33.1%, on lower ASP, personnel and freight inflation, and a one-time benefit in the prior year period attributable to medical insurance rebates and insurance proceeds related to tornado damage sustained at our Jackson, Georgia facility. This was partially offset by additional cost savings from strategic initiatives and continuous improvement efforts and favorable variable compensation.

Net income was $29.1 million, compared to $59.7 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 51.3%, primarily due to acquisition-related costs, lower gross profit margin as discussed above, restructuring charges and higher interest expense, partially offset by favorable variable compensation and positive net income contribution from Supreme. Net income margin was 4.1% compared to 8.8% in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $104.5 million, compared to $109.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin1 decreased 160 basis points to 14.6%, driven by a decrease in gross profit margin.

Diluted earnings per share were $0.22 compared to $0.46 in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted diluted earnings per share1 were $0.40 compared to $0.49 in the third quarter of 2023.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

As of September 29, 2024, the Company had $108.4 million in cash and $350.4 million of availability under its revolving credit facility. Total debt was $1,062.3 million and our ratio of total debt to net income from the most recent trailing twelve months was 7.2x as of September 29, 2024. For the same period, net debt1 was $953.9 million and our ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA1 was 2.5x.

Operating cash flow was $176.9 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024, compared to $336.5 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023. This decline was due to a benefit in the prior year from a strategic inventory build release. Free cash flow1 was $142.3 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024, compared to $315.1 million for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023.

During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 371 thousand shares of common stock for approximately $6.5 million. No shares were repurchased in the quarter ended September 29, 2024.

2024 Financial Outlook

For full year 2024, the Company reiterates prior expectations:

•Net sales year-over-year increase of low single-digit percentage

◦Organic decline of low single-digit percentage

◦Acquisition-related increase of mid single-digit percentage

•Adjusted EBITDA1,2 in the range of $385 million to $405 million, with related adjusted EBITDA margin1,2 of roughly 14.0% to 14.5%

•Adjusted Diluted EPS1,2 in the range of $1.50 to $1.62

The Company expects organic net sales performance to be in line with the underlying market demand, as new products, channel specific offerings, and previously implemented price actions gain traction.

“Our third quarter financial performance was driven by our continued operational excellence and our acquisition of Supreme, as we delivered year-over-year net sales growth in a softer end market environment,” said Andi Simon, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “In-line with our prior expectations, we believe demand trends across our R&R and new construction end markets will remain mixed for the balance of the year. With these factors in mind, our 2024 outlook is unchanged; we anticipate year-over-year growth in net sales and profitability.”

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 2024 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.

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.

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 2024 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 gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans and 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] Separation costs represent one-time costs incurred directly by MasterBrand related to the separation from Fortune Brands.

[2] 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 all periods presented are mainly comprised of workforce reduction costs and other costs to maintain 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. Such costs may include losses on disposal of inventories from exiting product lines, 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. 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] 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 in fiscal 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, and are comprised primarily of professional fees.

[5] 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.

[6] 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 were incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 related 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.

[7] 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. Prior period information has been recast to reflect the updated presentation.

[8] In order to calculate Adjusted Net Income, each of the items described in Items [1] - [7] 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. Discrete items are recorded in the relevant period identified and 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, certain changes in the valuation allowance for the realizability of deferred tax assets, or enacted changes in tax law. Management believes this approach assists investors in understanding the income tax provision and the estimated annual effective income tax rate related to ongoing operations.

Q3 2024 Highlights • Net sales increased 6% driven by 9% growth from our Supreme acquisition, partially offset by a 3% decline in organic net sales due to lower net average selling price (ASP). The impact of volume and foreign exchange were roughly flat year-on-year. • Net income decreased 51%, primarily due to acquisition costs, lower gross profit margin, restructuring charges and higher interest expense, partially offset by favorable variable compensation and positive net income contribution from Supreme. Net income margin contracted 470 bps. • Adjusted EBITDA margin1 declined 160 bps primarily due to the timing of price realization relative to inflationary pressures, continued investments in strategic initiatives, and approximately $6 million in non- repeating insurance proceeds and medical rebates in the same period last year. • Operating cash flow (YTD) and Free Cash Flow1 (YTD) declined primarily due to a benefit in the prior year from the release of a strategic inventory build meant to mitigate various supply chain constraints. 13 Financial Results ($ in millions, except per share amounts) Q3 2024 Q3 2023 B/(W) Net Sales $718.1 $677.3 6.0% Gross Profit $238.0 $237.5 0.2% Gross Profit Margin 33.1% 35.1% (200 bps) SG&A $166.3 $140.3 18.5% Net Income $29.1 $59.7 (51.3%) Net Income Margin 4.1% 8.8% (470 bps) Adjusted EBITDA1 $104.5 $109.8 (4.8%) Adjusted EBITDA Margin 1 14.6% 16.2% (160 bps) Diluted EPS (GAAP) $0.22 $0.46 (52.2%) Adjusted Diluted EPS1 $0.40 $0.49 (18.4%) Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities (YTD) $176.9 $336.5 (47.4%) Free Cash Flow1 (YTD) $142.3 $315.1 (54.8%)

Near-Term Expectations Full Year 2024 Outlook1 • Organic net sales decline of low single-digit % and acquisition-related increase of mid single-digit % • Promotional activity and trade downs to continue at a similar pace, but impact to moderate from a y-o-y perspective • Continued growth in new construction, but expected to moderate y-o-y and sequentially; R&R demand to be at the lower end of mid-single digit % declines • Q4 net sales to outperform normal seasonality due to previously implemented price and traction from new products and channel specific offerings • Ability to flex manufacturing, ongoing continuous improvement efforts, and price actions will support adj.

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, 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. 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 2024 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 gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans and 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. 16

Full Year Non-GAAP Reconciliations Tick Legend 18 [1] Separation costs represent one-time costs incurred directly by MasterBrand related to the separation from Fortune Brands. [2] 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 and facility closure costs. [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. 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. [4] The year-ended December 25, 2022 included $46.4 million of pre-tax impairment charges related to impairments of indefinite-lived tradenames. [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.

Q3 2024 Non-GAAP Reconciliations 19 Note: See tick legend on following page

Q3 2024 Non-GAAP Reconciliations Tick Legend 20 [1] Separation costs represent one-time costs incurred directly by MasterBrand related to the separation from Fortune Brands. [2] 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 all periods presented are mainly comprised of workforce reduction costs and other costs to maintain 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. Such costs may include losses on disposal of inventories from exiting product lines, 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. 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] 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 in fiscal 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, and are comprised primarily of professional fees. [5] 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. [6] 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 is not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations. Prior period information has been recast to reflect the updated presentation. [7] In order to calculate Adjusted Net Income, each of the items described in Items [1] - [6] 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. Discrete items are recorded in the relevant period identified and 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, certain changes in the valuation allowance for the realizability of deferred tax assets, or enacted changes in tax law. Management believes this approach assists investors in understanding the income tax provision and the estimated annual effective income tax rate related to ongoing operations.
