and delivered significant sales and profit growth in
2021. This performance was led by Delta Faucet
Company’s (DFC) continued growth across all of its
product categories and channels. DFC continued
to launch new kitchen and bath collections and in
2021 entered the kitchen sink market, a new product
category for Masco. Watkins Wellness was also a
significant contributor to our growth as it continued
to experience strong demand in 2021 for its outdoor,
wellness-oriented products. In addition, Hansgrohe
drove robust growth as demand improved in many
of its key markets, including Germany, France, China
and the UK.
To further enhance the offerings in our Plumbing
Products segment, in early 2021, Hansgrohe
acquired an over 75% interest in Easy Sanitary
Solutions B.V. (ESS), a Netherlands-based developer

and manufacturer of high-style, linear drain solutions.
ESS shares Hansgrohe’s focus on innovation and
design and further expanded our strong presence in
the shower space.
Later in 2021, we acquired Steamist, Inc., a leading
manufacturer of residential steam bath products.
Steamist now operates as an affiliate of DFC,
further enhancing DFC’s strong product portfolio and
leveraging its existing go-to-market strategies.

increasing our penetration with the Pro painter by
continuing to invest in new services and programs to
retain and grow with them.
In our Decorative Architectural Products segment,
our team effectively managed through numerous
supply chain disruptions and challenges and gained
share in both the Pro and Do-It-Yourself (DIY) paint
markets. DIY paint demand remains strong, and we
are positioned to capitalize on this strength with
our leading brands, innovative products and market
position. Our Pro paint business grew over 30 percent
in 2021 driven by robust demand and our operational
execution, and it now accounts for approximately 30
percent of our paint business. We expect Pro paint
to remain strong as contractors continue to see a
Our paint business is entering 2022 with a lot of
momentum. Our relationship with our channel partner,
The Home Depot, is extremely strong, and we are
committed to mutual growth. Our Behr brand was
recently named the most trusted paint brand by an
independent, third-party market research firm. We
continue to bring to market new product innovations,
such as the recently launched BEHR DYNASTY®
interior paint, our most durable, stain-repellent, scuff-
resistant, one-coat paint. In 2021, we expanded into
adjacent categories to paint such as applicators,
aerosols, interior stains, and caulks and sealants,
all of which will help drive growth in 2022, and
further demonstrates the strength of our brand and
partnership with our customers.
Over the course of the year, we executed on our
commitment to return capital to shareholders, with
over $1.2 billion returned in dividends and share
repurchases. Our balance sheet remains strong,
and we ended the year with approximately $926
million in cash. In early February 2022, our Board
of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.28
per share, a 19 percent increase, payable in the first
quarter of 2022. This dividend increase underscores

the strength of our financial position; our ability to
generate consistent, strong free cash flow; and the
Board’s confidence in our future.
The demand for our industry-leading brands
remains robust as we enter 2022. With homes
now serving multiple functions – including home
offices and recreation spaces – our brands are the
trusted choice for many consumers seeking home
improvements. The widespread availability of our
products in both brick-and-mortar and online retailers
enables consumers to find us wherever they shop.
We remain optimistic about the outlook for our
business for 2022 and beyond. Our portfolio
of low-ticket repair and remodel products with
market-leading brands and product and geographic
diversification provides growth and stability through
economic cycles. In addition, the repair and remodel
industry has favorable long-term fundamentals.
Strong home price appreciation and existing home
turnover, as well as structural factors such as
demographics and the aging housing stock, ensure
strong demand for our products for years to come.
While 2021 was another challenging year, we once
again demonstrated the strength and resilience of
Masco and that our business is built on a strong
foundation. The scale we have in our categories
generates operating efficiency, our robust innovation
capabilities strengthen demand for our brands,
and our Masco Operating System and culture of
continuous improvement provide a competitive
advantage. I am confident that these factors position
us well for continued growth and to deliver our
collective purpose – to bring better living possibilities
to our shareholders, employees, channel partners,
communities and consumers.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report contains statements that reflect our views about
our future performance and constitute “forward-looking statements”
under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-
looking statements can be identified by words such as “outlook,”
“believe,” “anticipate,” “appear,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “intend,”
“plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “assume,” “seek,” “forecast,” and similar
references to future periods. Our views about future performance involve
risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, accordingly, our
actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in our
forward-looking statements. We caution you against relying on any of
these forward-looking statements.
Our future performance may be affected by the levels of residential
repair and remodel activity, and to a lesser extent, new home
construction, our ability to maintain our strong brands and reputation
and to develop innovative products, our ability to maintain our
competitive position in our industries, our reliance on key customers,
the duration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including its impact on
domestic and international economic activity, consumer discretionary
spending, our employees and our supply chain, the cost and availability
of materials, our dependence on third-party suppliers and service
providers, extreme weather events and changes in climate, risks
associated with our international operations and global strategies, our
ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of our strategic initiatives, our
ability to successfully execute our acquisition strategy and integrate
businesses that we have and may acquire, our ability to attract, develop
and retain talented and diverse personnel, risks associated with our
reliance on information systems and technology and risks associated
with cybersecurity vulnerabilities, threats and attacks. These and other
factors are discussed in detail in our most recent Annual Report on
Form 10-K, as well as in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in
other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Any forward-looking statement made by us speaks only as of the date
on which it was made. Factors or events that could cause our actual
results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible
for us to predict all of them. Unless required by law, we undertake no
obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.

statements can be identified by words such as "outlook," "believe," "anticipate," "appear," "may," "will," "should,"

Item 1. Business.
PART I
Masco Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a global leader in the design, manufacture and
distribution of branded home improvement and building products. Our portfolio of industry-leading brands
includes BEHR® paint; DELTA® and HANSGROHE® faucets, bath and shower fixtures; KICHLER® decorative
and outdoor lighting; LIBERTY® branded decorative and functional hardware; and HOT SPRING® spas. We
leverage our powerful brands across product categories, sales channels and geographies to create value for
our customers and shareholders.
We believe that our solid results of operations and financial position for 2021 resulted from strong
consumer demand for our lower ticket, repair and remodel-oriented products along with our continued focus on
our three strategic pillars:
•
•
•
drive the full potential of our core businesses;
leverage opportunities across our enterprise; and
actively manage our portfolio.
In 2021, we completed the divestiture of our Hüppe GmbH ("Hüppe") business. We also completed the
purchase of a 75.1 percent equity interest in Easy Sanitary Solutions B.V. ("ESS") and all of the share capital
of Steamist, Inc. ("Steamist"). Additionally, we continued to return value to our shareholders by repurchasing
approximately 17.6 million shares of our common stock and increasing our quarterly dividend by approximately
68 percent.

Our Business Segments
We report our financial results in two segments, our Plumbing Products segment and our Decorative
Architectural Products segment, which are aggregated by product similarity. Our Decorative Architectural
Products segment is impacted by seasonality and normally experiences stronger sales during the second and
third calendar quarters, corresponding with the peak season for repair and remodel activity.
Plumbing Products
The businesses in our Plumbing Products segment sell a wide variety of products that are manufactured or
sourced by us.
• Our plumbing products include faucets, showerheads, handheld showers, valves, bath hardware
and accessories, bathing units, shower bases and enclosures, shower drains, steam shower
systems, sinks, kitchen accessories and toilets. We primarily sell these products to home center
retailers, online retailers, mass merchandisers, wholesalers and distributors that, in turn, sell them
to plumbers, building contractors, remodelers, smaller retailers and consumers. The majority of our
faucet, bathing and showering products are sold primarily in North America, Europe and China
under the brand names DELTA®, BRIZO®, PEERLESS®, HANSGROHE®, AXOR®, KRAUS®, EASY
DRAIN®, STEAMIST®, ELITESTEAM®, GINGER®, NEWPORT BRASS®, BRASSTECH® and
WALTEC®. Our BRISTAN™ and HERITAGE™ products are sold primarily in the United Kingdom.
• We manufacture acrylic tubs, bath and shower enclosure units, and shower bases and trays. Our
DELTA, PEERLESS and MIROLIN® products are sold primarily to home center retailers in North
America. Our MIROLIN products are also sold to wholesalers and distributors in Canada.
• Our spas, exercise pools and fitness systems are manufactured and sold under our HOT SPRING®,
CALDERA®, FREEFLOW SPAS®, FANTASY SPAS® and ENDLESS POOLS® brands, as well as
under other trademarks. Our spa and exercise pools are sold worldwide to independent specialty
retailers and distributors and to online mass merchant retailers. Certain exercise pools are also
available on a consumer-direct basis in North America and Europe, while our fitness systems are
sold through independent specialty retailers as well as on a consumer-direct basis in some areas.
•
Included in our Plumbing Products segment are brass, copper and composite plumbing system
components and other non-decorative plumbing products that are sold to plumbing, heating and
hardware wholesalers, home center and online retailers, hardware stores, building supply outlets
and other mass merchandisers. These products are marketed primarily in North America under our
BRASSCRAFT®, PLUMB SHOP®, COBRA®, COBRA PRO™ and MASTER PLUMBER® brands
and are also sold under private label.
• Within our Plumbing Products segment we develop connected water products that enhance the
experience with water in homes and businesses. These systems include touchless activation, voice
activation, controlled volume dispensing and provide for monitoring and controlling the temperature
and flow of water and are compatible with a range of faucets, showerheads and other showering
components.
• We also supply high-quality, custom thermoplastic solutions, extruded plastic profiles and
specialized fabrications, as well as PEX tubing, to manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers for
use in diverse applications that include faucets and plumbing supplies, appliances, oil and gas
equipment, building products and medical equipment components.
3
We believe that our plumbing products are among the leaders in sales in North America and Europe.
Competitors of the majority of our products in this segment include Dornbracht AG & Co. KG, Elkay
Manufacturing Company, Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc.'s Moen, Rohl and Riobel brands, Kohler Co.,
Lixil Group Corporation’s American Standard and Grohe brands, Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc.'s Pfister
faucets and private label brands. Competitors of our spas and exercise pools and systems include Artesian
Spas, Jacuzzi and Master Spas brands, among others. Foreign manufacturers competing with us are located
primarily in Europe and China. Additionally, we face significant competition from private label products and
digitally native brands. The businesses in our Plumbing Products segment manufacture products primarily in
North America and Europe as well as in Asia and source products from Asia and other regions. Competition for
our plumbing products is based largely on brand reputation, product features and innovation, product quality,
customer service, breadth of product offering and price. Many of the faucet and showering products with which
our products compete are manufactured by low-cost foreign manufacturers that contribute to price competition.
Many of our plumbing products contain brass, the major components of which are copper and zinc. We
have multiple sources, both domestic and foreign, for our raw materials used in this segment. We have
encountered price volatility for brass, brass components and any components containing copper and zinc. To
help reduce the impact of this volatility, from time to time we may enter into long-term agreements with certain
significant suppliers. In addition, some of the products in this segment that we import have been and may in the
future be subject to duties and tariffs.
Decorative Architectural Products
Our Decorative Architectural Products segment primarily includes architectural coatings, including paints,
primers, specialty coatings, stains and waterproofing products, as well as paint applicators and accessories.
These products are sold in North America, South America and China under the brand names BEHR®, KILZ®,
WHIZZ®, Elder & Jenks® and other trademarks to “do‑it‑yourself” and professional customers through home
center retailers and other retailers. Net sales of architectural coatings comprised approximately 30 percent, 33
percent and 31 percent of our consolidated net sales from our continuing operations in 2021, 2020, and 2019,
respectively. Our BEHR products are sold through The Home Depot, our largest customer overall, as well as
this segment’s largest customer. Our Behr business grants Behr brand exclusivity in the retail sales channel in
North America to The Home Depot. The granting of exclusivity affects our ability to sell those products and
brands to other customers, and the loss of this segment’s sales to The Home Depot would have a material
adverse effect on this segment’s business and on our consolidated business as a whole.
Our competitors in this segment include large national and international brands such as Benjamin Moore &
Co., PPG Industries, Inc.'s Glidden, Olympic, Pittsburgh Paints and PPG brands, The Sherwin‑Williams
Company's Minwax, Sherwin-Williams, Thompson’s Water Seal, Valspar and Purdy brands, RPM International,
Inc.'s Rust-Oleum and Zinsser brands and the Wooster Brush Company, as well as many regional and other
national brands. We believe that brand reputation is an important factor in consumer selection, and that
competition in this industry is also based largely on product features and innovation, product quality, customer
service, breadth of product offering and price.
Acrylic resins and titanium dioxide are principal raw materials in the manufacture of architectural coatings.
The price of acrylic resins fluctuates based on the price of its components, which can have a material impact on
our costs and results of operations in this segment. The price for titanium dioxide can fluctuate as a result of
global supply and demand dynamics and production capacity limitations, which can have a material impact on
our costs and results of operations in this segment. In addition, the prices of crude oil, natural gas, propylene,
methyl methacrylate (MMA), zinc and certain petroleum by-products can impact our costs and results of
operations in this segment. We have multiple sources, both domestic and foreign, for the raw materials used in
this segment. We have encountered price volatility for propylene and MMA and, to a lesser extent, zinc. To
help reduce the impact of this price volatility, we have and may in the future enter into long-term agreements
with certain significant suppliers. We import certain materials and products for this segment that have been and
may in the future be subject to duties and tariffs. We also have agreements with certain significant suppliers for
this segment that are intended to help assure continued supply.
4
Our Decorative Architectural Products segment includes branded cabinet and door hardware, functional
hardware, wall plates, hook and hook rail products, closet organization systems and picture hanging
accessories, which are manufactured for us and sold to home center retailers, mass retailers, online retailers,
other specialty retailers, original equipment manufacturers and wholesalers. These products are sold under the
LIBERTY®, BRAINERD®, FRANKLIN BRASS® and other trademarks. Our key competitors in North America
include Amerock Hardware, Richelieu Hardware Ltd., Top Knobs and private label brands. Decorative bath
hardware, shower accessories, mirrors and shower doors are sold under the brand names DELTA® and
FRANKLIN BRASS® and other trademarks to home center retailers, mass retailers, online retailers, other
specialty retailers and wholesalers. Competitors for these products include Fortune Brands Home &
Security, Inc.'s Moen brand, Gatco Fine Bathware, Kohler Co. and private label brands.
This segment also includes decorative indoor and outdoor lighting fixtures, ceiling fans, landscape lighting
and LED lighting systems. These products are sold to home center retailers, online retailers, electrical
distributors, landscape distributors and lighting showrooms under the brand names KICHLER® and ÉLAN® and
under other trademarks. Competitors of these products include Acuity, FX Luminaire, Generation Brands,
Hinkley Lighting, Inc., Hubbell Incorporated's Progress Lighting brand, Hunter Fan Company and private label
brands.
Additional Information
Intellectual Property
We hold numerous U.S. and foreign patents, patent applications, licenses, trademarks, trade names, trade
secrets and proprietary manufacturing processes. We view our trademarks and other intellectual property rights
as important, but do not believe that there is any reasonable likelihood of a loss of such rights that would have a
material adverse effect on our present business as a whole.
Laws and Regulations Affecting Our Business
We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign government laws and regulations. For a more detailed
description of the various laws and regulations that impact our business, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.
We monitor applicable laws and regulations and incur ongoing expense relating to compliance, however
we do not expect that compliance with federal, state, local and foreign regulations, will result in material capital
expenditures or have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.
Human Capital Management
We believe the performance of our Company is impacted by our human capital management, and as a
result we are focused on attracting, developing and retaining highly qualified, engaged and diverse employees.
We have developed three strategic talent priorities: leadership, diversity, equity and inclusion, and future
workforce. Our Chief Human Resources Officer is responsible for developing and executing our human capital
strategy and provides regular updates to our Board of Directors’ Organization and Compensation Committee on
our progress toward the achievement of these strategic initiatives. We believe that our human capital initiatives
work together to help our employees grow and thrive, cultivate a culture where our employees feel like they
belong and keep our employees healthy and safe in the workplace.
Leadership
We support and foster the growth of our employees by providing development opportunities and tools that
build and strengthen leadership capabilities. We use our Leadership Framework, which is our internal
leadership evaluation framework, to define the capabilities and attributes and behaviors that serve as the
foundation for how we select, develop and measure the performance of our leaders.
To develop a sustainable pipeline of leaders, we have robust and proactive talent management and
succession planning processes to support our businesses. In addition, our Board of Directors and executive
management team regularly review our Company’s critical leadership roles and succession plans.
We are focused on building a continuous learning culture by enabling frequent and candid feedback
discussions about performance and development between employees and their managers, across peers, and
within teams.
5
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ("DE&I")
We believe a workplace that encourages different voices, perspectives and backgrounds creates better
teams, better solutions and more innovation. We strive to cultivate a sense of belonging for our employees. We
are focused on the following three key areas:
• Our workplace: who we are and how it feels to work at Masco
• Our marketplace: how we deliver innovative solutions that meet the needs of all our consumers and
customers
• Our communities: how we can help increase access, equity, and inclusion through strong
community partners and business partnerships
Each strategic focus area has a series of enterprise-wide initiatives, and our businesses have aligned
plans that are tailored to meet their specific needs. Our enterprise DE&I Council along with business unit
councils and employee resource groups serve as advisors, ambassadors and change agents in implementing
our enterprise-wide initiatives and their business unit plans.
Our workforce representation statistics are one indicator of our performance in advancing a diverse
workforce. Following is our workforce representation statistics as of December 31, 2021:
•
•
•
In the U.S., our leadership team is comprised of 31 percent women and 26 percent racially /
ethnically diverse individuals, as compared to the EEO-1 benchmark of 24 percent and 20 percent,
respectively. The EEO-1 leadership benchmark includes executive-level/senior-officials and
managers, and first-level officials and managers.
In the U.S., our salaried workforce is comprised of approximately 36 percent women and 29 percent
racially / ethnically diverse individuals, as compared to the EEO-1 benchmark of 27 percent and 26
percent, respectively. The EEO-1 salaried employees benchmark includes leadership, professionals
and technicians.
In the U.S., our hourly workforce, which includes hourly and exception hourly, is comprised of 38
percent women and 53 percent racially / ethnically diverse individuals, as compared to the EEO-1
benchmark of 28 percent and 37 percent, respectively. The EEO-1 hourly employees benchmark
includes all other EEO categories we did not include in the EEO-1 leadership and salaried
benchmark.
We have established specific aspirational workforce representation goals for our U.S. workforce along with
goals linked to employees’ experiences related to inclusion and belonging. Progress towards these goals is
measured on an annual basis and is reviewed by our Organization and Compensation Committee of our Board
of Directors and executive management team. We describe those goals in our Corporate Social Responsibility
report, which is not incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Future Workforce
There are critical capabilities that our employees and our organization need to help us achieve our
businesses objectives. We leverage our Masco Operating System, our methodology to drive growth and
productivity, to ensure that our businesses are focused on building these critical organizational capabilities by
ensuring they have the right structure, talent, tools, and training in place.
Employee Engagement
In order to engage and retain our employees, we listen to our employees to understand their perspectives,
needs and ideas by leveraging various forums, tools, and methods including surveys to measure key insights
related to employee engagement, inclusion, well-being, and leadership, among others.
6
Employee Health and Safety
The safety of our employees is integral to our company. In support of our safety efforts, we identify, assess,
and investigate incidents and injury data, and each year set a goal to improve key safety performance
indicators. We communicate and train our workforce on the importance of safe work practices. We also
regularly consult with our employees on safety-related improvements to our operations. Throughout 2021, our
cross-functional Infectious Illness Response Team updated protocols and procedures to continue to help keep
our employees safe during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We continued to implement the best practices and
recommendations from the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control, and the Department of
Labor (OSHA). We encouraged our employees to receive COVID-19 vaccinations across our organization
through educational outreach, on-site vaccination clinics, and paid time off to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Our Workforce
At December 31, 2021, we employed approximately 20,000 people.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are a number of business risks and uncertainties that could affect our business. These risks and
uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ from past performance or expected results. We consider
the following risks and uncertainties to be most relevant to our specific business activities. Additional risks and
uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently believe to be immaterial, also may adversely impact
our business, results of operations and financial position.
Coronavirus Disease Risks
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has and may continue to impact our operations, which may impact
our results and our financial condition.
The spread of COVID-19 created a global health crisis that resulted in widespread disruption to economic
activity, both in the U.S. and globally.
We operate facilities in the United States and around the world which have been and may continue to be
adversely affected by this pandemic, including the closure or reduced capacity of certain of our facilities; delays
or disruptions in our ability to source raw materials, components and products; constraints in shipping,
transportation and logistics; and decreased employee availability. Due to the uncertain duration of the
COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to fully estimate the extent of the impact it may have on the markets in
which we operate or our business. The extent of such impact will depend on a number of factors, including the
duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, its effect on our customers, suppliers and employees, its effect on
domestic and international economies and markets, including consumer discretionary spending, and the
response of governmental authorities. A prolonged disruption of our operations or slowdown in domestic and
international economic activity could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial
condition.
To the extent COVID-19 continues to impact our business and our operations, it may also have the effect
of heightening certain of the other risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, such as those relating to
our international operations and global strategies and our dependence on third-party suppliers.
Strategic Risks
Our business strategy is focused on residential repair and remodeling activity and, to a lesser extent,
on new home construction activity, both of which are impacted by a number of economic factors and
other factors.
Our business relies on residential repair and remodeling activity and, to a lesser extent, on new home
construction activity. A number of factors impact consumers’ spending on home improvement projects as well as
new home construction activity, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
consumer confidence levels;
fluctuations in home prices;
existing home sales;
unemployment and underemployment levels;
consumer income and debt levels;
household formation;
the availability of skilled tradespeople for repair and remodeling work;
the availability of home equity loans and mortgages and the interest rates for and tax
deductibility of such loans;
trends in lifestyle and housing design; and
natural disasters, terrorist acts, pandemics or other catastrophic events.
The fundamentals driving our business are impacted by economic cycles. Adverse changes or uncertainty
involving the factors listed above, an economic contraction or inflationary pressures could result in a decline in
residential repair and remodeling activity or in demand for new home construction, which could adversely affect
our results of operations and financial position.
8
We may not achieve all of the anticipated benefits of our strategic initiatives.
We continue to pursue our strategic initiatives of investing in our brands, developing innovative products,
and focusing on operational excellence through the Masco Operating System, our methodology to drive growth
and productivity. These initiatives are designed to grow revenue, improve profitability and increase shareholder
value over the mid- to long-term. Our business performance and results could be adversely affected if we are
unable to successfully execute these initiatives or if we are unable to execute these initiatives in a timely and
efficient manner. We could also be adversely affected if we have not appropriately prioritized and balanced our
initiatives or if we are unable to effectively manage change throughout our organization.
We may not be able to successfully execute our acquisition strategy or integrate businesses that we
acquire.
Pursuing the acquisition of businesses complementary to our portfolio is a component of our strategy for
future growth. If we are not able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or consummate potential acquisitions
within a desired time frame or at acceptable terms and prices, our long-term competitive positioning may be
affected. Even if we are successful in acquiring businesses, the businesses we acquire may not be able to
achieve the revenue, profitability or growth we anticipate, or we may experience challenges and risks in
integrating these businesses into our existing business. Such risks include:
•
•
•
•
•
difficulties realizing expected synergies and economies of scale;
diversion of management attention and our resources;
unforeseen liabilities;
issues or conflicts with our new or existing customers or suppliers; and
difficulties in retaining critical employees of the acquired businesses.
International acquisitions that we have made, and international acquisitions that we may make in the future
may continue to increase our exposure to foreign currency risks and risks associated with interpretation and
enforcement of foreign regulations. Our failure to address these risks could cause us to incur additional costs
and fail to realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions and could adversely affect our results of operations
and financial position.
Business and Operational Risks
Variability in the cost and availability of our raw materials, component parts and finished goods could
affect our results of operations and financial position.
We purchase substantial amounts of raw materials, component parts and finished goods from outside
sources, including international sources, and we manufacture certain of our products outside of the United
States. Increases in the cost of the materials we purchase, including as a result of availability, tariffs and
inflation, have in the past and may in the future increase the prices for our products. Further, our production
could be affected if we or our suppliers are unable to procure our requirements for various commodities,
including, among others, brass, resins, titanium dioxide and zinc, or if a shortage of these commodities results
in significantly increased costs. Rising energy costs could also increase our production and transportation costs.
In addition, water is a significant component of our architectural coatings products and may be subject to
shortages and restrictions on supply in certain regions, due to climate-related and other influences. These
factors could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.
It can be difficult for us to pass on to customers our cost increases. Our existing arrangements with
customers, competitive considerations and customer resistance to price increases may delay or make us
unable to adjust selling prices. If we are not able to sufficiently increase the prices of our products or achieve
cost savings to offset increased material and production costs, our results of operations and financial position
could be adversely affected. Increased selling prices for our products have and may in the future lead to sales
declines and loss of market share, particularly if those prices are not competitive. When our material costs
decline, we have experienced and may in the future receive pressure from our customers to reduce our prices.
Such reductions could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.
9
From time to time we enter into long-term agreements with certain significant suppliers to help ensure
continued availability of the commodities we require to produce our products and to establish firm pricing, but at
times these contractual commitments may result in our paying above market prices for commodities during the
term of the contract. Occasionally, we may also use derivative instruments, including commodity futures and
swaps. This strategy increases the possibility that we may make commitments for these commodities at prices
that subsequently exceed their market prices, which has occurred and could occur in the future and may
adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.
We are dependent on third-party suppliers and service providers.
We are dependent on third parties for many of our products and components and for certain services. Our
ability to offer a wide variety of products and provide high levels of service to our customers depend on our
ability to obtain an adequate and timely supply of products and components. Failure of our suppliers to timely
provide us quality products or services on commercially reasonable terms or to comply with applicable legal and
regulatory requirements or our supplier business practices policies, could have a material adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial position or could damage our reputation. The operations of the third parties
we depend on could be impacted by changing laws, regulations and policies, including those related to climate
change, labor availability and by adverse weather conditions, pandemics, and other force majeure events, any
of which could result in disruptions to their operations and result in shortages of supply, assertion of force
majeure contract provisions and increases in the prices they charge for the raw materials, components and
products they produce. Sourcing these products and components from alternate suppliers, including suppliers
from new geographic regions, or re-engineering our products as a result of supplier disruptions, is time-
consuming and costly and could result in inefficiencies or delays in our business operations or could negatively
impact the quality of our products. In addition, the loss of critical suppliers, or a substantial decrease in the
availability of products or components from our suppliers, has and could continue to disrupt our business and
may adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.
Many of the suppliers we rely upon are located in foreign countries, primarily China. The differences in
business practices, shipping and delivery requirements, changes in economic conditions and trade policies and
laws and regulations, together with the limited number of suppliers, have increased the complexity of our supply
chain logistics and the potential for interruptions in our production scheduling. We have experienced and may
continue to experience constraints on and disruptions to transporting our raw materials, components and
products from our international suppliers and have had to pay higher transportation costs. If we are unable to
effectively manage our supply chain or if we continue to experience such transportation constraints, disruptions
and higher costs for timely delivery of our products or components, our results of operations and financial
position could be adversely affected.
There are risks associated with our international operations and global strategies.
In 2021, 21 percent of our sales from continuing operations were made outside of North America
(principally in Europe) and transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In addition to our European
operations, we manufacture products in Asia and source products and components from third parties globally.
Risks associated with our international operations include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
differences in culture, economic and labor conditions and practices;
the policies of the U.S. and foreign governments;
disruptions in trade relations and economic instability;
differences in enforcement of contract and intellectual property rights;
timeliness of transportation and port congestion;
social and political unrest; and
natural disasters, terrorist attacks, pandemics or other catastrophic events.
10
We are also affected by domestic and international laws and regulations applicable to companies doing
business abroad or importing and exporting goods and materials. These include tax laws, laws regulating
competition, anti-bribery/anti-corruption and other business practices, and trade regulations, including duties
and tariffs. Compliance with these laws is costly, and future changes to these laws may require significant
management attention and disrupt our operations. Additionally, while it is difficult to assess what changes may
occur and the relative effect on our international tax structure, significant changes in how U.S. and foreign
jurisdictions tax cross-border transactions could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.
Our results of operations and financial position are also impacted by changes in currency exchange rates.
Unfavorable currency exchange rates, particularly the euro, the Chinese Yuan renminbi, the Canadian dollar
and the British pound sterling, have in the past adversely affected us, and could adversely affect us in the
future. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates may present challenges in comparing operating performance
from period to period.
Additionally, as a result of the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union, we could experience
volatility in the currency exchange rates or a change in the demand for our products and services, particularly in
our U.K. and European markets, or there could be disruption of our operations and our customers’ and
suppliers’ businesses.
The long-term performance of our businesses relies on our ability to attract, develop and retain talented
and diverse personnel.
To be successful, we must invest significant resources to attract, develop and retain highly qualified,
talented and diverse employees at all levels, who have the experience, knowledge and expertise to implement
our strategic and business initiatives. We compete for employees with a broad range of employers in many
different industries, including large multinational firms, and we may fail in recruiting, developing, motivating and
retaining them, particularly when there are low unemployment levels. We have been and continue to be affected
by a shortage of qualified personnel in certain geographic areas. Our growth, competitive position, results of
operations and financial position could be adversely affected by our failure to attract, develop and retain key
employees and diverse talent, to build strong leadership teams, to successfully implement our talent strategies
or to develop effective succession planning to assure smooth transitions of those employees and the knowledge
and expertise they possess.
Extreme weather events and changes in climate could adversely impact our results of operations and
financial position.
Extreme weather events, such as severe winter and other storms, hurricanes, fires, floods, tornados and
droughts, as a result of climate change or other factors, have negatively impacted and may continue to
negatively impact our business. These types of events can be disruptive to our operations and may impact
consumer spending. In addition, we have certain suppliers located in areas that have experienced extreme
weather events which have impacted and may continue to impact the availability and cost of some of our raw
materials, components and products from time to time. If the frequency or severity of extreme weather
increases, we may experience interruptions to our operations, further impact on our supply chain, increased
operating costs or loss or damage to our property or inventory, which could adversely affect our results of
operations and financial position.
Restrictive covenants in our credit agreement could limit our financial flexibility.
We must comply with both financial and nonfinancial covenants in our credit agreement, and in order to
borrow under it, we cannot be in default with any of those provisions. Our ability to borrow under the credit
agreement could be affected if our earnings significantly decline to a level where we are not in compliance with
the financial covenants or if we default on any nonfinancial covenants. In the past, we have been able to amend
the covenants in our credit agreement, but there can be no assurance that in the future we would be able to
further amend them. If we were unable to borrow under our credit agreement, our financial flexibility could be
restricted.
11
Competitive Risks
We could lose market share if we do not maintain our strong brands, develop innovative products or
respond to changing purchasing practices and consumer preferences or if our reputation is damaged.
Our competitive advantage is due, in part, to our ability to maintain our strong brands and to develop and
introduce innovative new and improved products. Our initiatives to invest in brand building, brand awareness
and product innovation may not be successful. The uncertainties associated with developing and introducing
innovative and improved products, such as gauging changing consumer demands and preferences and
successfully developing, manufacturing, marketing, selling and servicing these products, may impact the
success of our product introductions. If the products we introduce do not gain widespread acceptance or if our
competitors improve their products more rapidly or effectively than we do, we could lose market share or be
required to reduce our prices, which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial position.
In recent years, consumer purchasing practices and preferences have shifted and our customers’ business
models and strategies have changed. As our customers execute their strategies to reach end consumers
through multiple channels, they rely on us to support their efforts with our infrastructure, including maintaining
robust and user-friendly websites with sufficient content for consumer research and providing comprehensive
supply chain solutions and differentiated product development. If we are unable to successfully provide this
support to our customers or if our customers are unable to successfully execute their strategies, our brands may
lose market share.
If we do not timely and effectively identify and respond to changing consumer preferences, including,
among others, a continued shift in consumer purchasing practices toward e-commerce and increased consumer
demand for products with potential desired attributes, such as connected products and sustainable products,
our relationships with our customers and with consumers could be harmed, our ability to retain our customers
and consumers may be negatively impacted, the demand for our brands and products could be reduced and
our results of operations and financial position could be adversely affected.
Our public image and reputation are important to maintaining our strong brands and could be adversely
affected by various factors, including product quality and service, claims and comments in social media or the
press, or a negative perception regarding our company practices, positions or public statements, including
regarding disputes or legal action against us, even if unfounded. Damage to our public image or reputation
could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.
We face significant competition and operate in an evolving competitive landscape.
Our products face significant competition. We believe that brand reputation is an important factor affecting
product selection and that we compete on the basis of product features, innovation, quality, customer service,
warranty and price. We sell many of our products through home center retailers, online retailers, distributors and
independent dealers and rely on these customers to market and promote our products to consumers. Our
success with our customers is dependent on our ability to provide quality products and timely delivery. In
addition, home center retailers, which have historically concentrated their sales efforts on retail consumers and
remodelers, are increasingly selling directly to professional contractors and installers. This shift may adversely
affect our margins on our products that contractors and installers would otherwise buy through our dealers and
wholesalers, and as home center retailers develop customer experience programs to attract and retain
contractors and installers, they may rely on us to support their efforts, which may affect our growth and
operating results.
Certain of our customers are selling products sourced from low-cost foreign manufacturers under their own
private label brands, which directly compete with our brands. As a result of this trend, we have and we may in
the future experience lower demand for our products or a shift in the mix of some products we sell toward more
value-priced or opening price point products, which may affect our operating results.
In addition, we face competitive pricing pressure in the marketplace, including sales promotion programs,
that could affect our market share or result in price reductions, which could adversely impact our results of
operations and financial position.
12
Further, the growing e-commerce channel brings an increased number of competitors and greater pricing
transparency for consumers, as well as conflicts between our existing distribution channels and a need for
different distribution methods. These factors could affect our results of operations and financial position. In
addition, our relationships with our customers, including our home center customers, may be affected if we
increase the amount of business we transact in the e-commerce channel.
If we are unable to maintain our competitive position in our industries, our results of operations and
financial position could be adversely affected.
Our sales are concentrated with three significant customers and this concentration may continue to
increase. In 2021, our net sales from our continuing operations to The Home Depot were $3.0 billion
(approximately 36 percent of our consolidated net sales), and our net sales from our continuing operations to
Ferguson and Lowe’s were each less than 10 percent of our consolidated net sales. These customers can
significantly affect the prices we receive for our products and the terms and conditions on which we do business
with them. Additionally, these customers have in the past and may in the future reduce the number of vendors
from which they purchase and could make significant changes in their volume of purchases from us. Although
other retailers, dealers, distributors and homebuilders represent other channels of distribution for our products
and services, we might not be able to quickly replace, if at all, the loss of a substantial portion of our sales to
The Home Depot or the loss of all of our sales to either Ferguson or Lowe’s, and any such loss would have a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position.
In addition, our Behr business grants Behr brand exclusivity in the retail sales channel in North America to
The Home Depot, and from time to time, certain of our other businesses grant product and/or brand exclusivity
to our customers. The granting of exclusivity affects our ability to sell those products and brands to other
customers and can increase the complexity of our product offerings and can increase our costs.
Technology and Intellectual Property Risks
We rely on information systems and technology, and a breakdown of these systems or interruptions
resulting from our implementation of new systems could adversely affect our results of operations and
financial position.
We rely on many information systems and technology to process, transmit, store and manage information
to support our business activities. We may be adversely affected if our information systems breakdown, fail, or
are no longer supported. In addition to the consequences that may occur from interruptions in our current
systems, we continue to invest in new technology systems throughout our company, including implementations
of and upgrades to Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) systems at our business units. ERP implementations
and upgrades are complex and require significant management oversight, and we have experienced, and may
continue
these
implementations. Our results of operations and financial position, as well as the effectiveness of our internal
controls over financial reporting, could be adversely affected if we do not appropriately select, implement,
maintain and upgrade our technology systems in a timely manner or if we experience significant unanticipated
expenses or disruptions in connection with the implementation and upgrade of ERP systems.
to experience, unanticipated expenses and
to our operations during
interruptions
13
We have been and may continue to be subject to cybersecurity attacks, which could adversely affect
our results of operations and financial position.
Global cybersecurity vulnerabilities, threats and more frequent, sophisticated and targeted attacks pose a
risk to our information technology systems. We have implemented security policies, processes and layers of
defense designed to help identify and protect against intentional and unintentional misappropriation or
corruption of our systems and information and disruption of our operations. Despite these efforts, our systems
have been and may in the future be damaged, disrupted, or shut down due to cybersecurity attacks by
unauthorized access, malware, ransomware, undetected intrusion, hardware failures, or other events, and in
these circumstances our disaster recovery plans may be ineffective or inadequate. These breaches or
intrusions have led and could in the future lead to business interruption, production or operational downtime,
product shipment delays, exposure or loss of proprietary confidential or financial information or the personal
information of our employees or customers, data corruption, an inability to report our financial results in a timely
manner, damage to the reputation of our brands, damage to our relationships with our customers and suppliers,
exposure to litigation, and increased costs associated with the remediation and mitigation of such attacks. In
addition, we could be adversely affected if any of our significant customers, third-party suppliers or service
providers experiences any similar events that disrupt their business operations or damage their reputation. Such
events could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.
We may not be able to adequately protect or prevent the unauthorized use of our intellectual property.
Protecting our intellectual property is important to our growth and innovation efforts. We own a number of
patents, trade names, brand names and other forms of intellectual property in our products and manufacturing
processes throughout the world. There can be no assurance that our efforts to protect our intellectual property
rights will prevent violations. Our intellectual property has been and may again be challenged or infringed upon
by third parties, particularly in countries where property rights are not highly developed or protected. In addition,
the global nature of our business increases the risk that we may be unable to obtain or maintain our intellectual
property rights on reasonable terms. Furthermore, others may assert intellectual property infringement claims
against us. Current and former employees, contractors, customers or suppliers have or may have had access to
proprietary or confidential information regarding our business operations that could harm us if used by them, or
disclosed to others, including our competitors. Protecting and preventing the unauthorized use of our intellectual
property could be costly, time consuming and require significant resources. If we are not able to protect our
existing intellectual property rights, or prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property, sales of our
products may be affected and we may experience reputational damage to our brand names, increased litigation
costs and adverse impact to our competitive position, which could adversely affect our results of operations and
financial position.
Litigation and Regulatory Risks
Claims and litigation could be costly.
We are involved in various claims and litigation, including class actions, mass torts and regulatory
proceedings, that arise in the ordinary course of our business and that could have a material adverse effect on
us. The types of matters may include, among others: competition, product liability, employment, warranty,
advertising, contract, personal injury, environmental, intellectual property, product compliance and insurance
coverage. The outcome and effect of these matters are inherently unpredictable, and defending and resolving
them can be costly and can divert management’s attention. We have and may continue to incur significant costs
as a result of claims and litigation.
We are also subject to product safety regulations, product recalls and direct claims for product liability that
can result in significant costs and, regardless of the ultimate outcome, create adverse publicity and damage the
reputation of our brands and business. Also, we rely on third-party suppliers to provide products or components
for products that we sell. Due to the difficulty of controlling the quality of products and components we source
from these suppliers, we are exposed to risks relating to the quality of such products and to limitations on our
recourse against such suppliers.
14
We maintain insurance against some, but not all, of the risks of loss resulting from claims and litigation.
The levels of insurance we maintain may not be adequate to fully cover our losses or liabilities. If any significant
accident, judgment, claim or other event is not fully insured or indemnified against, it could adversely affect our
results of operations and financial position.
Refer to Note U to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Report for additional
information about litigation involving our businesses.
Our failure to comply with laws, government regulations and other requirements could adversely affect
our results of operations and financial position.
We are subject to a wide variety of federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations pertaining to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
securities matters;
taxation;
anti-bribery/anti-corruption;
employment and labor matters;
wage and hour matters;
environment, health and safety matters;
the protection of employees and consumers;
product safety and performance;
competition practices;
trade, including duties and tariffs;
data privacy and the collection and storage of information; and
climate change and protection of the environment.
In addition to complying with current requirements and known future requirements, we will be subject to
new or more stringent requirements in the future.
As we sell new types of products or existing products in new geographic areas or channels or for new
applications, we are subject to the requirements applicable to those sales. Additionally, some of our products
must be certified by industry organizations. Compliance with new or changed laws, regulations and other
requirements, including as a part of government or industry response to climate change, may require us to alter
our product designs, our manufacturing processes, our packaging or our sourcing. These compliance activities
are costly and require significant management attention and resources. If we do not effectively and timely
comply with such regulations and other requirements, our results of operations and financial position could be
adversely affected.

Equity Securities.
The New York Stock Exchange is the principal market on which our common stock is traded, under the
ticker symbol MAS. On January 31, 2022, there were approximately 2,700 holders of record of our common
stock.
We expect that our practice of paying quarterly dividends on our common stock will continue, although the
payment of future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings,
capital requirements, financial condition and other factors. The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend
of $0.28 per share in the first quarter of 2022 with the intention to increase the annual dividend to $1.12 per
share.
Effective February 10, 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, for retirement, of up to $2.0
billion of shares of our common stock in open-market transactions or otherwise, replacing the previous Board of
Directors authorization established in 2019. We repurchased and retired 17.6 million shares of our common
stock for the year ended December 31, 2021 for approximately $1,026 million. This included 0.7 million
shares to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted in 2021. At December 31, 2021, we had
$1,128 million remaining under the 2021 authorization.
The following table provides information regarding the repurchase of our common stock for the three-
month period ended December 31, 2021.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by,
our consolidated financial statements (and notes related thereto) and other more detailed financial information
appearing elsewhere in this Report. Further, you should read the following discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations together with the “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Report
for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described
in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. See also
“Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this report.
Overview
We design, manufacture and distribute branded home improvement and building products. These
products are sold primarily for repair and remodeling activity and, to a lesser extent, new home construction. We
sell our products through home center retailers, online retailers, wholesalers and distributors, mass
merchandisers, hardware stores, direct to the consumer, professional contractors and homebuilders.
We continue to execute our strategy of leveraging our strong brand portfolio, industry-leading positions and
the Masco Operating System, our methodology to drive growth and productivity, to create long-term shareholder
value. We remain confident in the fundamentals of our business and long-term strategy. We believe that our
strong financial position and cash flow generation, together with our investments in our industry-leading branded
building products, our continued focus on innovation and disciplined capital allocation, will allow us to drive long-
term growth and create value for our shareholders.
We continue to leverage the Masco Operating System and continuous improvement initiatives across our
enterprise to identify additional opportunities to improve our business operations. From time to time, we may
take actions to drive efficiency in the business focused on the strategic rationalization of our businesses,
including business consolidations, plant closures, headcount reductions and other cost savings initiatives.
Recent Trends
COVID-19 Impact and General Business Conditions
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted global economic activity, including our workforce and
operations, as well as the operations of our customers and suppliers. There remains substantial uncertainty
regarding the global economic impact of, and the speed and shape of the recovery from, the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic and the resulting impact on our future operations and financial results. We are experiencing, and may
continue to experience, higher commodity and transportation costs, and supply chain disruptions, particularly
disruptions related to our ability to source products, components and raw materials. We are also experiencing
and may continue to experience labor cost inflation and constraints in hiring qualified employees. We aim to
offset the potential unfavorable impact of these items with productivity improvement and other initiatives.
19
Consolidated Results of Operations
We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America ("GAAP"). However, we believe that certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios,
used in managing the business, may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful
comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. These include the disclosure of net sales,
operating profit and operating profit margins adjusted for certain items. Non-GAAP performance measures and
ratios should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results under GAAP.
We discuss our consolidated results as well as our Business Segment and Geographic Area results of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 versus December 31, 2020. A detailed discussion of our
consolidated, Business Segment and Geographic Area results of operations for the years ended December 31,
2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 can be found under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on February 9, 2021.

Business Segment Results Discussion
Changes in operating profit in the following Business Segment and Geographic Area Results discussion
exclude general corporate expense, net, and compares each respective period to the same period of the
immediately preceding year.
Plumbing Products
Sales
Net sales in the Plumbing Products segment increased 24 percent in 2021 due primarily to higher sales
volume, which increased sales by 15 percent. The acquisitions of Kraus, ESS and Steamist increased sales by
five percent. Additionally, favorable foreign currency translation and higher net selling prices both increased
sales by two percent and positive sales mix increased sales by one percent. Such increases were slightly offset
by the divestiture of Hüppe, which decreased sales by one percent.
Operating Results
Operating profit in the Plumbing Products segment in 2021 was positively impacted by higher sales
volume, favorable net selling prices, positive sales mix, cost savings initiatives and favorable currency
translation. These positive impacts were partially offset by increased commodity costs and an increase in other
expenses (such as transportation and labor costs).
Decorative Architectural Products
Sales
Net sales in the Decorative Architectural Products segment increased six percent in 2021, primarily due to
favorable net selling prices of paints and other coating products and to a lesser extent higher volume of builders'
hardware products. The Work Tools acquisition increased sales by one percent.
Operating Results
Operating profit in the Decorative Architectural Products segment in 2021 was positively impacted by
favorable net selling prices as well as cost savings initiatives and lower fixed expenses in our lighting business.
These positive impacts were partially offset by higher commodity costs and an increase in other expenses (such
as transportation and marketing costs), as well as a goodwill impairment charge in our lighting business.
26
Geographic Area Results Discussion
North America
Sales
North American net sales in 2021 increased 14 percent. Higher sales volume of plumbing products, and to
a lesser extent, builders' hardware, in aggregate, increased sales by seven percent. The acquisitions of Kraus,
Work Tools and Steamist increased sales by three percent and favorable net selling prices of paints and other
coating and plumbing products increased sales by three percent.
Operating Results
Operating profit from North American operations in 2021 was positively affected by favorable net selling
prices, higher sales volume, cost savings initiatives, and lower fixed expenses in our lighting business. These
positive impacts were partially offset by increased commodity costs and an increase in other expenses (such as
transportation and labor costs) as well as a goodwill impairment charge in our lighting business.
International, Principally Europe
Sales
Net sales from International operations in 2021 increased 27 percent. In local currencies (including sales in
foreign currencies outside their respective functional currencies), net sales increased 21 percent. Higher sales
volume and, to a lesser extent, favorable sales mix and net selling prices of plumbing products increased sales
by 21 percent and the acquisition of ESS increased sales by three percent. Such increases were slightly offset
by the divestiture of Hüppe that decreased sales by three percent.
Operating Results
Operating profit from International operations in 2021 was positively impacted by higher sales volume,
favorable net selling prices, positive sales mix, and favorable foreign currency translation. These positive
impacts were partially offset by an increase in other expenses (such as marketing, transportation and labor
costs) and increased commodity costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview of Capital Structure
Historically, we have largely funded our growth through cash provided by our operations, the issuance of
notes in the financial markets, bank borrowings and the issuance of our common stock, including issuances for
certain mergers and acquisitions. Maintaining high levels of liquidity and focusing on cash generation are
among our financial strategies. Our capital allocation strategy includes reinvesting in our business, balancing
share repurchases with potential acquisitions and maintaining a meaningful dividend.
We had cash and cash investments of approximately $926 million and $1.3 billion at December 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively. Our cash and cash investments consist of overnight interest bearing money market
demand accounts, time deposit accounts, and money market mutual funds containing government securities
and treasury obligations. While we attempt to diversify these investments in a prudent manner to minimize risk,
it is possible that future changes in the financial markets could affect the security or availability of these
investments. Of the cash and cash investments we held at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, $490
million and $385 million, respectively, was held in our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds were needed for our
operations in the U.S., their repatriation into the U.S. would not result in significant additional U.S. income tax or
foreign withholding tax, as we have recorded such taxes on substantially all undistributed foreign earnings,
except for those that are legally restricted.
Our current ratio was 1.8 to 1 at both December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Our total debt as a percent of total capitalization was 98 percent and 87 percent at December 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively. Refer to Note L to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
27
Costs of environmental responsibilities and compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations
have not had, nor do we expect them to have, a material effect on our capital expenditures, financial position or
results of operations.
We believe that our present cash balance and cash flows from operations, and borrowing availability under
our Amended Credit Agreement, are sufficient to fund our near-term working capital and other investment
needs. We believe that our longer-term working capital and other general corporate requirements will be
satisfied through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, from bank borrowings and future
financial market activities. However, due to the highly uncertain nature and duration or resurgence of the
COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our customer, suppliers and employees, we are unable to fully estimate
the extent of the impact it may have on our future financial condition.
Capital Expenditures
We continue to invest in our manufacturing and distribution operations of those businesses that align with
our long-term growth strategy to increase our productivity, improve customer service and support product
innovation. Capital expenditures for 2021 were $128 million, compared with $114 million for 2020. For 2022,
capital expenditures, excluding any potential future acquisitions, are expected to be approximately $250 million.
Depreciation and amortization expense for 2021 totaled $151 million, compared with $133 million for 2020. For
2022, depreciation and amortization expense, excluding any potential future acquisitions, is expected to be
approximately $150 million. Amortization expense totaled $40 million in 2021, compared with $28 million in
2020.
Senior Indebtedness
On March 4, 2021, we issued $600 million of 1.500% Notes due February 15, 2028, $600 million of
2.000% Notes due February 15, 2031 and $300 million of 3.125% Notes due February 15, 2051. We received
proceeds of $1,495 million, net of discount, for the issuance of these Notes. The Notes are senior indebtedness
and are redeemable at our option at the applicable redemption price. On March 22, 2021, proceeds from the
debt issuances, together with cash on hand, were used to repay and early retire our $326 million 5.950% Notes
due March 15, 2022, $500 million 4.450% Notes due April 1, 2025, and $500 million 4.375% Notes due April 1,
2026. In connection with these early retirements, we incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $168 million,
which was recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
On September 18, 2020, we issued $300 million of 2.000% Notes due October 1, 2030 (the "2030 Notes")
and received proceeds of $300 million, net of discount, for the issuance of the 2030 Notes. Also on September
18, 2020, we issued an incremental $100 million on our existing 4.500% Notes due May 15, 2047 (the "2047
Notes") and received proceeds of $119 million, including a premium, for the issuance of the 2047 Notes. The
incremental $100 million formed a single series with the existing $300 million of 4.500% Notes due May 15,
2047. The 2030 Notes and 2047 Notes are senior indebtedness and are redeemable at our option at the
applicable redemption price. On September 29, 2020, proceeds from the debt issuances were used to repay
and early retire our $400 million 3.500% Notes due April 1, 2021. In connection with this early retirement, we
incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $6 million, which was recorded as interest expense in our
consolidated statements of operations.
Credit Agreement
On March 13, 2019, we entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with an aggregate
commitment of $1.0 billion and a maturity date of March 13, 2024. On December 22, 2021, we amended the
Credit Agreement with the bank group (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement was amended
to (i) expand the “Agreed Currencies” for which loans thereunder may be denominated outside of the swingline
facility to include British Pounds Sterling and Canadian Dollars, together with their applicable interest rate
benchmark, (ii) replace the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Euro Interbank Offered Rate
(“EURIBOR”) as the interest rate benchmark for purposes of loans denominated in Euros and (iii) provide
mechanics for the replacement of a benchmark for an applicable Agreed Currency upon the occurrence of
certain specified events.
Under the Amended Credit Agreement, at our request and subject to certain conditions, we can increase
the aggregate commitment up to an additional $500 million with the current lenders or new lenders. See Note L
to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
28
The Amended Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain (A) a net leverage
ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not exceeding 4.0 to 1.0, and (B) a minimum interest coverage ratio, as
adjusted for certain items, not less than 2.5 to 1.0. We were in compliance with all covenants and no borrowings
were outstanding under our Amended Credit Agreement at December 31, 2021.
Corporate Development Strategy
We expect to maintain a balanced growth strategy pursuing organic growth by maximizing the full potential
of our existing businesses and, as appropriate, complementing our existing business with strategic acquisitions.
In addition, we actively manage our portfolio of companies by divesting of those businesses that do not
align with our long-term growth strategy. We will continue to review all of our businesses to determine which
businesses, if any, may not align with our long-term growth strategy.
Acquisitions
During 2021, we acquired a 75.1 percent equity interest in ESS, a manufacturer of shower channel drains
and offers a wide range of products for barrier-free showering and bathroom wall niches, for approximately €47
million ($58 million), including $52 million of cash and $6 million of debt that will be paid out over two years. We
also acquired all of the share capital of Steamist, a manufacturer of residential steam bath products that are
complementary to many of our plumbing products, for approximately $56 million in cash.
During 2020, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of Kraus, a designer and distributor of sinks,
faucets and accessories for the kitchen and bathroom, as well as Work Tools, a leading manufacturer of high-
quality precision painting tools and accessories including brushes, rollers and mini rollers for DIY and
professionals. Additionally, we acquired all of the share capital of SmarTap A.Y Ltd. ("SmarTap"), a developer of
a smart bathing system that monitors and controls the temperature and flow of water. We acquired these
businesses for a combined $175 million of cash and $5 million of debt.
Divestitures
During 2021, we completed the divestiture of our Hüppe business, a manufacturer of shower enclosures
and shower trays. In connection with the divestiture, we recognized a loss of $18 million.
During 2020, we completed the divestiture of our Masco Cabinetry LLC ("Cabinetry") business, a
manufacturer of cabinetry products, for proceeds of approximately $989 million, including $853 million, net of
cash disposed. In connection with the divestiture, we recognized a gain of $585 million.
Share Repurchases
We repurchased and retired 17.6 million shares of our common stock in 2021 for approximately $1,026
million. This included 0.7 million shares to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted in 2021. At
December 31, 2021, we had $1,128 million remaining under the 2021 authorization. Consistent with past
practice and as part of our long-term capital allocation strategy, we anticipate using approximately $600 million
of cash for share repurchases (including shares which will be purchased to offset any dilution from restricted
stock units granted as part of our compensation programs) in 2022. Refer to Note O to the consolidated
financial statements for additional information.
During 2020, we repurchased and retired 18.8 million shares of our common stock (including 0.4 million
shares to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted during the year), for approximately $727
million.
Dividend to holders of our Common Shares
In the second quarter of 2021 we increased our quarterly dividend to $0.235 per common share from
$0.14 per common share in order to increase the annual dividend to $0.94 per share.
As part of our capital allocation strategy, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.28 per
share in the first quarter of 2022 with the intention to increase the annual dividend to $1.12 per share.
29
Other Liquidity and Capital Resource Activities
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our cash flow and related liquidity, we work with suppliers to
optimize our terms and conditions, including extending payment terms. We also facilitate a voluntary supply
chain finance program (the "program") to provide certain of our suppliers with the opportunity to sell receivables
due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial
institutions. A third party administers the program; our responsibility is limited to making payment on the terms
originally negotiated with our supplier, regardless of whether the supplier sells its receivable to a financial
institution. We do not enter into agreements with any of the participating financial institutions in connection with
the program. The range of payment terms we negotiate with our suppliers is consistent, irrespective of whether
a supplier participates in the program.
All outstanding payments owed under the program are recorded within accounts payable in our
consolidated balance sheets. The amounts owed to participating financial institutions under the program and
included in accounts payable for our continuing operations were $43 million and $45 million at December 31,
2021 and 2020, respectively. We account for all payments made under the program as a reduction to our cash
flows from operations and reported within our increase (decrease) in accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
net, line within our consolidated statements of cash flows. The amounts settled through the program and paid to
participating financial institutions were $220 million and $146 million for our continuing operations during the
years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. A downgrade in our credit rating or changes in the
financial markets could limit the financial institutions’ willingness to commit funds to, and participate in, the
program. We do not believe such risk would have a material impact on our working capital or cash flows, as
substantially all of our payments are made outside of the program.
We utilize derivative and hedging instruments to manage our exposure to currency fluctuations, primarily
related to the European euro, British pound, the Chinese renminbi and the U.S. dollar; occasionally, we have
also used derivative and hedging instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations, primarily related to debt
issuances. We review our hedging program, derivative positions and overall risk management on a regular
basis. We currently do not have any derivative instruments for which we have designated hedge accounting.

Net cash provided by operations of $930 million primarily benefited from higher operating profit, partially
offset by changes in working capital, pension contributions related to the settlement of our qualified domestic
defined-benefit pension plans and deferred income taxes.
Financing Activities
Net cash used for financing activities was $1,298 million, which included $1,326 million for the early
retirement of our 5.950% Notes due March 15, 2022, 4.450% Notes due April 1, 2025, and 4.375% Notes due
April 1, 2026 and $160 million of related debt extinguishment costs. Net cash used for financing activities was
also impacted by $1,026 million for the repurchase and retirement of our common stock (including 0.7 million
shares repurchased to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted in 2021), $211 million for the
payment of cash dividends, $43 million for dividends paid to noncontrolling interest and $15 million for employee
withholding taxes paid on stock-based compensation. These uses of cash were partially offset by proceeds, net
of issuance costs, of $1,481 million due to the issuances of $600 million of 1.500% Notes due February 15,
2028, $600 million of 2.000% Notes due February 15, 2031 and $300 million of 3.125% Notes due February 15,
2051.
31
Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $12 million, primarily driven by $128 million of capital
expenditures and $56 million for the acquisition of Steamist, partially offset by the $166 million received, in cash,
for the redemption of the preferred stock of ACProducts Holding Inc.
Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
Information regarding our legal proceedings is set forth in Note U to the consolidated financial statements,

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of
these financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect or could have
affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods. We regularly review our estimates and assumptions, which are based upon historical experience, as
well as current economic conditions and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of certain
assets and liabilities and related disclosures, and future revenues and expenses, that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Note A to the consolidated financial statements includes our accounting policies, estimates and methods
used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the following critical accounting policies are affected by significant judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition and Receivables
We recognize revenue as control of our products is transferred to our customers, which is generally at the
time of shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual terms with our customers. We provide customer
programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing and co-operative advertising arrangements,
promotions and other volume-based incentives. These customer programs and incentives are considered
variable consideration. We include in revenue variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a
significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the variable
consideration is resolved. This determination is made based upon known customer program and incentive
offerings at the time of sale, and expected sales volume forecasts as it relates to our volume-based incentives.
This determination is updated each reporting period.
We monitor our exposure for credit losses on customer receivable balances and the credit worthiness of
customers on an on-going basis and maintain allowances for doubtful accounts receivable for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. Allowances are estimated based upon
specific customer balances, where a risk of loss has been identified, and also include a provision for losses
based upon historical collection experience and write-off activity as well as reasonable and supportable forecast
information that considers macro-economic factors and industry-specific trends associated with our businesses,
among others. A separate allowance is recorded for customer incentive rebates and is generally based upon
sales activity.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We record the excess of purchase cost over the fair value of net tangible assets of acquired companies as
goodwill or other identifiable intangible assets. In the fourth quarter of each year, or as events occur or
circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying
amount, we complete the impairment testing of goodwill utilizing a discounted cash flow method. We selected
the discounted cash flow methodology because we believe that it is comparable to what would be used by
market participants. We have defined our reporting units and completed the impairment testing of goodwill at
the operating segment level.
33
Determining market values using a discounted cash flow method requires us to make significant estimates
and assumptions, including long-term projections of cash flows, market conditions and appropriate discount
rates. Our judgments are based upon historical experience, current market trends, consultations with external
valuation specialists and other information. While we believe that the estimates and assumptions underlying the
valuation methodology are reasonable, different estimates and assumptions could result in different outcomes.
In estimating future cash flows, we rely on internally generated five-year forecasts for sales and operating
profits, and, currently, a two percent to three percent long-term assumed annual growth rate of cash flows for
periods after the five-year forecast. We generally develop these forecasts based upon, among other things,
recent sales data for existing products, planned timing of new product launches, estimated repair and remodel
activity and, to a lesser extent, estimated housing starts. Our assumptions included U.S. and Eurozone Gross
Domestic Product growing at approximately 3.8 percent and 4.5 percent, respectively, in 2022 and per annum
over the five-year forecast.
We utilize our weighted average cost of capital of approximately 7.5 percent as the basis to determine the
discount rate to apply to the estimated future cash flows. In 2021, based upon our assessment of the risks
impacting each of our businesses, we applied a risk premium to increase the discount rate to a range of 9.0
percent to 11.5 percent for our reporting units.
If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized to the
extent that a reporting unit's recorded carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of
goodwill in that reporting unit.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, we recognized a $45 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to
a reporting unit within our Decorative Architectural Products segment due to competitive market conditions and
higher inflationary costs in our lighting business. As of December 31, 2021, the impaired reporting unit had a
remaining net goodwill balance of $19 million. A 10 percent decrease in the estimated fair value of our other
reporting units would not have resulted in any additional goodwill impairment.
We review our other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, in the fourth quarter, or as
events occur or circumstances change that indicate the assets may be impaired without regard to the business
unit. Potential impairment is identified by comparing the fair value of an other indefinite-lived intangible asset to
its carrying value. We utilize a relief-from-royalty model to estimate the fair value of other indefinite-lived
intangible assets. We consider the implications of both external (e.g., market growth, competition and local
economic conditions) and internal (e.g., product sales and expected product growth) factors and their potential
impact on cash flows related to the intangible asset in both the near- and long-term. We also consider the
profitability of the business, among other factors, to determine the royalty rate for use in the impairment
assessment.
We utilize our weighted average cost of capital of approximately 7.5 percent as the basis to determine the
discount rate to apply to the estimated future cash flows. In 2021, based upon our assessment of the risks
impacting each of our businesses and the nature of the trade name, we applied a risk premium to increase the
discount rate to a range of 10.0 percent to 15.5 percent for our other indefinite-lived intangible assets.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, we estimated that future discounted cash flows projected for our other
indefinite-lived intangible assets were greater than the carrying values. Accordingly, we did not recognize any
impairment charges for other indefinite-lived intangible assets. A 10 percent decrease in the estimated fair
value of our other indefinite-lived intangibles assets would not have resulted in an impairment for any of our
other indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Refer to Note H for additional information.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are recognized based on the future tax consequences of differences between the financial
statement carrying value of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. The future realization of deferred
tax assets depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in future periods. Possible sources of taxable
income include taxable income in carryback periods, the future reversal of existing taxable temporary
differences recorded as a deferred tax liability, tax-planning strategies that generate future income or gains in
excess of anticipated losses in the carryforward period and projected future taxable income.
34
If, based upon all available evidence, both positive and negative, it is more likely than not (more than 50
percent likely) such deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. The need to
maintain a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets may cause greater volatility in our effective tax rate.
Significant weight is given to positive and negative evidence that is objectively verifiable. A company's three-
year cumulative loss position is significant negative evidence in considering whether deferred tax assets are
realizable, and the accounting guidance restricts the amount of reliance we can place on projected taxable
income to support the recovery of the deferred tax assets.
Based upon all available evidence, primarily three-year cumulative loss positions in certain state and
foreign tax jurisdictions, we determined that it is more likely than not certain deferred tax assets will not be
realized. As a result, we maintain a $17 million valuation allowance on certain state and foreign deferred tax
assets as of December 31, 2021.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note A to the consolidated financial statements for discussion of recently adopted and issued
accounting pronouncements, which is incorporated herein by reference.
35
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We have considered the provisions of accounting guidance regarding disclosure of accounting policies for
derivative financial instruments and disclosure of quantitative and qualitative information about market risk
inherent in derivative financial instruments and other financial instruments.
We are exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates,
particularly changes between the U.S. dollar and the European euro, British pound, Canadian dollar and
Chinese renminbi, and to market price fluctuations related to our financial investments. We have insignificant
involvement with derivative financial instruments and use such instruments to the extent necessary to manage
exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.
At December 31, 2021, we performed sensitivity analyses to assess the potential loss in the fair values of
market risk sensitive instruments resulting from a hypothetical change of 10 percent in foreign currency
exchange rates, a 10 percent decline in the market value of our long-term investments, or a 100 basis point
change in interest rates. Based upon the analyses performed, such changes would not be expected to
materially affect our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
36
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021
using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
("COSO") in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, we have determined
that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PCAOB ID 238), an independent registered public accounting firm, has
audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, as stated in
their report, which is presented herein. Their report expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 and expressed an unqualified opinion on our
2021 consolidated financial statements. This report appears under 'Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data' under the heading "Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm."
37
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Masco Corporation
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Masco Corporation and its subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of
comprehensive income (loss), of shareholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2021, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index
appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have
audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria
established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in
all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on
criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on
the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to
be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial
reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that
a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
38
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use,
or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the
consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit
committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial
statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication
of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as
a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the
critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Goodwill Impairment Assessments
As described in Notes A and H to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill
balance was $568 million as of December 31, 2021. Management performs an annual impairment test of
goodwill in the fourth quarter of each year, or as events occur or circumstances change that would indicate the
carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. In connection with its annual assessment, management recorded a
$45 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge within their Decorative Architectural Products segment.
Potential impairment is identified by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including
goodwill. Management estimates fair value by using a discounted cash flow model. The determination of fair
value using the discounted cash flow model requires management to make significant estimates and
assumptions related to forecasted sales and operating profits, and the discount rate.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill
impairment assessments is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when
developing the fair value measurements of the reporting units; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment,
subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures to evaluate management’s discounted cash flow model,
including significant assumptions related to forecasted sales and the discount rates, as applicable; and (iii) the
audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming
our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the
effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessments, including controls over
the valuation of the Company’s reporting units. These procedures also included, among others, testing
management’s process for developing the fair value estimates; evaluating the appropriateness of the
discounted cash flow model; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the
model; and, evaluating the significant assumptions used by management, including forecasted sales and the
discount rates, as applicable. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in
evaluating the Company’s discount rate assumptions, as applicable. Evaluating management’s assumption
related to forecasted sales involved evaluating whether the assumptions used were reasonable considering (i)
the current and past performance of the reporting units, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry
data as relates to forecasted sales, and (iii) whether they were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas
of the audit.

MASCO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Masco
Corporation and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
We consolidate the assets, liabilities and results of operations of variable interest entities for which we are the
primary beneficiary.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions in the Preparation of Financial Statements. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted ("GAAP") in the United States
of America requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these
estimates and assumptions.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue as control of our products is transferred to our customers,
which is generally at the time of shipment or upon delivery based on the contractual terms with our customers.
Our customers' payment terms generally range from 30 to 65 days.
We provide customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing and co-operative
advertising arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives. These customer programs and
incentives are considered variable consideration. We include in revenue variable consideration only to the
extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not
occur when the variable consideration is resolved. This determination is made based upon known customer
program and incentive offerings at the time of sale and expected sales volume forecasts as it relates to our
volume-based incentives. This determination is updated each reporting period.
Certain product sales include a right of return. We estimate future product returns at the time of sale based
on historical experience and record a corresponding refund liability. We additionally record an asset, based on
historical experience, for the amount of product we expect to return to inventory as a result of the return, which
is recorded in prepaid expenses and other in the consolidated balance sheets.
We consider shipping and handling activities performed by us as activities to fulfill the sales of our
products. Amounts billed for shipping and handling are included in net sales, while costs incurred for shipping
and handling are included in cost of sales. We capitalize incremental costs of obtaining a contract and expense
the costs on a straight-line basis over the contractual period if the cost is recoverable, the cost would not have
been incurred without the contract and the term of the contract is greater than one year; otherwise, we expense
the amounts as incurred. We do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a financing
component if the period between when we transfer our products or services and when our customers pay for
our products or services is expected to be one year or less.
Customer Displays. In-store displays that are owned by us and used to market our products are
included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized using the straight-line method
over the expected useful life of three to five years; related amortization expense is classified as a selling
expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Foreign Currency. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local
currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at exchange rates
as of the balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect
during the year. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets. Realized foreign currency transaction gains
and losses are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Cash and Cash Investments. We consider all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three
months or less to be cash and cash investments.

MASCO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Receivables. We do business with home center retailers, plumbing wholesalers and a number of other
customers. We monitor our exposure for credit losses on customer receivable balances and other financial
investments measured at amortized cost and the credit worthiness of customers on an on-going basis,
including requiring the completion of credit applications and performing periodic reviews of our open
accounts receivable. We record allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the
inability of our customers to fulfill their required payment obligation to us. Allowances are estimated based
upon specific customer balances, where a risk of loss has been identified, and also include a provision for
losses based upon historical collection experience and write-off activity as well as reasonable and supportable
forecast information that considers macro-economic factors and industry-specific trends associated with our
businesses, among others. A separate allowance is recorded for customer incentive rebates and is generally
based upon sales activity. Receivables are presented net of certain allowances (including allowances for
doubtful accounts) of $67 million and $48 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our receivables
balances are generally due in less than one year.
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment, including significant improvements to existing
facilities, are recorded at cost. Upon retirement or disposal, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed
from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations. Maintenance
and repair costs are charged against earnings as incurred.
We review our property and equipment as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely
than not reduce the fair value of the property and equipment below its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of
property and equipment is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, then we would recognize an
impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the current fair value. Further, we evaluate
the remaining useful lives of property and equipment at each reporting period to determine whether events and
circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining depreciation periods.
Depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed principally using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Annual depreciation rates are as follows: buildings and land improvements,
2 to 10 percent, computer hardware and software, 17 to 33 percent, and machinery and equipment, 5 to
33 percent. Depreciation expense, including discontinued operations, was $111 million in 2021, $105 million in
2020 and $132 million in 2019.
Leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in
operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”), accrued liabilities and noncurrent operating lease liabilities
on our consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are included in property and equipment, net,
notes payable, and long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the duration of the lease term while lease
liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments in exchange for the right to use an underlying asset.
ROU assets and lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the
lease term at the commencement date. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to the
commencement date and initial direct costs incurred, and is reduced by any lease incentives received. We
review our ROU assets as events occur or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount of the
ROU assets are not recoverable and exceed their fair values. If the carrying amount of the ROU asset is not
recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, then we would recognize an impairment loss for the difference
between the carrying amount and the current fair value.
As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate on
the commencement date of the lease as the discount rate in determining the present value of future lease
payments. We determine the incremental borrowing rate for each lease by using the current yields of our
uncollateralized, publicly traded debts with maturity periods similar to the respective lease term or a comparable
market alternative, adjusted to a collateralized basis based on third-party data. Our lease terms may include
options to extend or terminate the lease when there are relevant economic incentives present that make it
reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We account for any non-lease components separately from
lease components.
46
MASCO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
For operating leases, lease expense for future fixed lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis
over the lease term. For finance leases, lease expense for future fixed lease payments is recognized using the
effective interest rate method over the lease term. Variable lease payments are recognized as lease expense in
the period incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we
recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. We perform our annual impairment testing of goodwill in the
fourth quarter of each year, or as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce
the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We have defined our reporting units and completed
the impairment testing of goodwill at the operating segment level. Our operating segments are reporting units
that engage in business activities, for which discrete financial information, including five-year forecasts, are
available. We compare the fair value of the reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting units for
goodwill impairment testing. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow method, which includes
significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), and requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions,
including long-term projections of cash flows, market conditions and appropriate discount rates. Our judgments
are based upon historical experience, current market trends, consultations with external valuation specialists
and other information. In estimating future cash flows, we rely on internally generated five-year forecasts for
sales and operating profits, and, currently, a two percent to three percent long-term assumed annual growth rate
of cash flows for periods after the five-year forecast. For 2021, we utilized a weighted average cost of capital of
approximately 7.5 percent as the basis to determine the discount rate to apply to the estimated future cash
flows. Based upon our assessment of the risks impacting each of our businesses, we applied a risk premium to
increase the discount rate to a range of 9.0 percent to 11.5 percent for our reporting units. If the carrying amount
of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that a reporting unit's
carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill in that reporting unit.
We review our other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or as
events occur or circumstances change that indicate the assets may be impaired without regard to the business
unit. Potential impairment is identified by comparing the fair value of an other indefinite-lived intangible asset to
its carrying value. We utilize a relief-from-royalty model to estimate the fair value of other indefinite-lived
intangible assets. We consider the implications of both external (e.g., market growth, competition and local
economic conditions) and internal (e.g., product sales and expected product growth) factors and their potential
impact on cash flows related to the intangible asset in both the near- and long-term. We also consider the
profitability of the business, among other factors, to determine the royalty rate for use in the impairment
assessment. We utilize our weighted average cost of capital of approximately 7.5 percent as the basis to
determine the discount rate to apply to the estimated future cash flows. In 2021, based upon our assessment of
the risks impacting each of our businesses and the nature of the trade name, we applied a risk premium to
increase the discount rate to a range of 10.0 percent to 15.5 percent for our other indefinite-lived intangible
assets.
While we believe that the estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation methodologies are
reasonable, different estimates and assumptions could result in different outcomes.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated
useful lives. We review our intangible assets with finite useful lives as events occur or circumstances change
that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the assets below its carrying amount. If the carrying
amount of the assets is not recoverable from the undiscounted cash flows, then we would recognize an
impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the current fair value. We evaluate the
remaining useful lives of amortizable intangible assets at each reporting period to determine whether events or
circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining periods of amortization.
Refer to Note H for additional information regarding goodwill and other intangible assets.

MASCO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Acquisitions. In accordance with accounting guidance for the provisions in Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 805, "Business Combinations," we allocate the purchase price of an acquired
business to its identifiable assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase
price over the amount allocated to the assets and liabilities, if any, is recorded as goodwill. In addition, any
contingent consideration is fair valued as of the date of the acquisition and is recorded as part of the purchase
price. This estimate is updated in future periods and any changes in the estimate, which are not considered an
adjustment to the purchase price, are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations.
We use all available information to estimate fair values. We typically engage external valuation specialists
to assist in the fair value determination of identifiable intangible assets and any other significant assets or
liabilities. We adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation, as necessary, up to one year after the acquisition
closing date as we obtain more information regarding assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on facts
and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
Our purchase price allocation methodology contains uncertainties because it requires us to make
assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. We
estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities based upon the carrying value of the acquired assets and
assumed liabilities and widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows. Unanticipated
events or circumstances may occur which could affect the accuracy of our fair value estimates, including
assumptions regarding industry economic factors and business strategies.
Other estimates used in determining fair value include, but are not limited to, future cash flows or income
related to intangibles, market rate assumptions and appropriate discount rates. Our estimates of fair value are
based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but that are inherently uncertain, and therefore, may not be
realized. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates, assumptions, and values reflected in the
valuations will be realized, and actual results could vary materially.
Refer to Note B for additional information regarding acquisitions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. We use derivative financial instruments to manage certain
exposure to fluctuations in earnings and cash flows resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates,
and occasionally from interest rate exposures. Derivative financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated
balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value, netted by counterparty, where the right of
offset exists. The gain or loss is recognized in determining current earnings during the period of the change in
fair value. We currently do not have any derivative instruments for which we have designated hedge accounting.
Refer to Note I for additional information regarding fair value of financial instruments.
Warranty. We offer limited warranties on certain products with warranty periods lasting up to the lifetime
of the product to the original consumer purchaser. At the time of sale, we accrue a warranty liability for the
estimated future cost to provide products, parts or services to repair or replace products to satisfy our warranty
obligations. Our estimate of future costs to service our warranty obligations is based upon the information
available and includes a number of factors, such as the warranty coverage, the warranty period, historical
experience specific to the nature, frequency and average cost to service the claim, along with industry and
demographic trends.
Certain factors and related assumptions in determining our warranty liability involve judgments and
estimates and are sensitive to changes in the factors described above. We believe that the warranty accrual is
appropriate; however, actual claims incurred could differ from our original estimates which would require us to
adjust our previously established accruals. Refer to Note U for additional information on our warranty accrual.
A significant portion of our business is at the consumer retail level through home center retailers and other
major retailers. A consumer may return a product to a retail outlet that is a warranty return. However, certain
retail outlets do not distinguish between warranty and other types of returns when they claim a return deduction
from us. Our revenue recognition policy takes into account this type of return when recognizing revenue, and an
estimate of these amounts is recorded as a deduction to net sales at the time of sale.

MASCO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Insurance Reserves. We provide for expenses associated with workers' compensation and product
liability obligations when such amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are
adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change that would affect the estimated liability. Any
obligations expected to be settled within 12 months are recorded in accrued liabilities; all other obligations are
recorded in other liabilities.
Litigation. We are involved in claims and litigation, including class actions, mass torts and regulatory
proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. Liabilities and costs associated with these
matters require estimates and judgments based upon our professional knowledge and experience and that of
our legal counsel. When a liability is probable of being incurred and our exposure in these matters is reasonably
estimable, amounts are recorded as charges to earnings. The ultimate resolution of these exposures may differ
due to subsequent developments.
Stock-Based Compensation. We issue stock-based incentives in various forms to our employees and
non-employee Directors. Outstanding stock-based incentives were in the form of long-term stock awards, stock
options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs") and phantom stock
awards.
We measure compensation expense for stock awards and RSUs at the market price of our common stock
at the grant date. We measure compensation expense for stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing
model. We measure compensation expense for PRSUs at the expected payout of the awards. We recognize
forfeitures related to stock awards, stock options, RSUs and PRSUs as they occur.
We initially measure compensation expense for phantom stock awards at the market price of our common
stock at the grant date. Phantom stock awards are linked to the value of our common stock on the date of grant
and are settled in cash upon vesting. We account for phantom stock awards as liability-based awards; the
liability is remeasured and adjusted at the end of each reporting period until the awards are fully-vested and
paid to the employees.
In December 2019, our Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Compensation Committee") amended the terms of equity awards under our 2014 Long Term Stock
Incentive Plan to provide that newly issued stock options, RSUs and phantom stock awards vest over a
three-year period and redefined retirement-eligibility as age 65 or age 55 with at least 10 years of continuous
service. As such, compensation expense for equity awards granted in 2020 and thereafter is recognized
ratably over the shorter of the vesting period, typically three years, or the length of time until the grantee
becomes retirement eligible. For prior year grants, expense was recognized ratably over the shorter of the
vesting period of the stock awards, stock options and phantom stock awards, typically five years, or the length
of time until the grantee became retirement-eligible, generally at age 65. Expense for PRSUs is recognized
ratably over the three-year vesting period of the units.
Refer to Note M for additional information on stock-based compensation.
Noncontrolling Interest. We owned 68 percent of Hansgrohe SE at both December 31, 2021 and 2020.
The aggregate noncontrolling interest, net of dividends, at December 31, 2021 and 2020 has been recorded as
a component of equity on our consolidated balance sheets.
Discontinued Operations. We report financial results for discontinued operations separately from
continuing operations to distinguish the financial impact of disposal transactions from ongoing operations.
Discontinued operations reporting occurs only when the disposal of a component or a group of components
represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. In our
consolidated statements of cash flows, the cash flow from discontinued operations are not separately classified.
Refer to Note C for further information regarding our discontinued operations.

A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income Taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized based on the future tax consequences of differences
between the financial statement carrying value of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. The future
realization of deferred tax assets depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in future periods.
Possible sources of taxable income include taxable income in carryback periods, the future reversal of existing
taxable temporary differences recorded as a deferred tax liability, tax-planning strategies that generate future
income or gains in excess of anticipated losses in the carryforward period and projected future taxable income.
If, based upon all available evidence, both positive and negative, it is more likely than not (more than 50
percent likely) such deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. Significant weight
is given to positive and negative evidence that is objectively verifiable. A company's three-year cumulative loss
position is significant negative evidence in considering whether deferred tax assets are realizable, and the
accounting guidance restricts the amount of reliance we can place on projected taxable income to support the
recovery of the deferred tax assets.
The current accounting guidance allows the recognition of only those income tax positions that have a
greater than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. We believe
that there is an increased potential for volatility in our effective tax rate because this threshold allows for
changes in the income tax environment and, to a greater extent, the inherent complexities of income tax law in a
substantial number of jurisdictions, which may affect the computation of our liability for uncertain tax positions.
We record interest and penalties on our uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
The accounting guidance for income taxes requires us to allocate our provision for income taxes between
continuing operations and other categories of earnings, such as other comprehensive income (loss).
Subsequent adjustments to deferred taxes originally recorded to other comprehensive income (loss) may
reverse in a different category of earnings, such as continuing operations, resulting in a disproportionate tax
effect within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Generally, a disproportionate tax effect will be
eliminated and recognized in income tax expense when the circumstances upon which it is premised cease to
exist.
The disproportionate tax effects related to various defined-benefit pension plans will be eliminated from
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at the termination of the related pension plans. The
disproportionate tax effect relating to our interest rate swap hedge, which was terminated in 2012, was
eliminated from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon the early retirement of the related debt in
March 2021.
We record the tax effects of Global Intangible Low-taxed Income related to our foreign operations as a
component of income tax expense in the period the tax arises.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01,
"Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321)," "Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic
323)," and "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic
323, and Topic 815," which clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions when either
applying or discontinuing the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the
measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321. ASU 2020-01 clarifies that for certain forward contracts
or purchased options to acquire investments, an entity should not consider whether, upon settlement of the
forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the
equity method or the fair value option. We adopted ASU 2020-01 prospectively beginning on January 1, 2021.
The adoption of the standard did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt
—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in
Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of
accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. We plan to adopt this
standard for annual periods beginning January 1, 2022 and do not anticipate that the adoption of this new
standard will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for
Acquired Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2021-08 requires
contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized in accordance with
Topic 606 as if the acquirer had originated the contracts. We plan to adopt this standard for annual periods
beginning January 1, 2022 and do not anticipate that the adoption of this new standard will have a material
impact on our financial position or results of operations.
B. ACQUISITIONS
In the third quarter of 2021, we acquired all of the share capital of Steamist, Inc. ("Steamist") for
approximately $56 million in cash. This amount is subject to working capital and other adjustments. Steamist is
a manufacturer of residential steam bath products that are complementary to many of our plumbing products.
This business is included in our Plumbing Products segment. In connection with this acquisition, we recognized
$31 million of definite-lived intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships. The definite-lived
intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization period of 11
years. We also recognized $29 million of goodwill, which is not tax deductible, and is related primarily to the
expected synergies from combining the operations into our business.
In the first quarter of 2021, we acquired a 75.1 percent equity interest in Easy Sanitary Solutions
B.V. ("ESS"), for approximately €47 million ($58 million), including $52 million of cash and $6 million of debt
that will be paid out over two years less any pending or settled indemnity matters. The cash payment was made
to a third-party notary on December 29, 2020 for the acquisition of this equity interest in advance of the
transaction closing on January 4, 2021. ESS is a manufacturer of shower channel drains and offers a wide
range of products for barrier-free showering and bathroom wall niches. This business is included in our
Plumbing Products segment. In connection with this acquisition, we recognized $32 million of definite-lived
intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships. The definite-lived intangible assets are
being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization period of 10 years. We
also recognized $35 million of goodwill, which is not tax deductible, and is related primarily to the expected
synergies from combining the operations into our business. Working capital and other adjustments were
finalized with the seller in the fourth quarter of 2021, resulting in no significant changes.
The remaining 24.9 percent equity interest in ESS is subject to a call and put option that is exercisable by
us or the sellers, respectively, any time after December 31, 2023. The redemption value of the call and put
option is the same and based on a floating EBITDA value. The call and put options were determined to be
embedded within the redeemable noncontrolling interest and were recorded as temporary equity in the
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021. We elected to adjust the redeemable noncontrolling
interest to its full redemption amount directly into retained (deficit) earnings.
In the fourth quarter of 2020, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of Kraus USA Inc. ("Kraus"), a
designer and distributor of sinks, faucets and accessories for the kitchen and bathroom, for approximately
$103 million and an additional cash payment of up to $50 million to be paid in 2023, contingent upon the
achievement of certain financial performance metrics for the year ending December 31, 2022. As of the closing
date of the acquisition, the contingent consideration was assigned a fair value of approximately $8 million.
Refer to Note I for additional information regarding the measurement of the contingent consideration liability.
This business expands our product offerings to our customers and our online presence under the Kraus brand.
This business is included in the Plumbing Products segment. In connection with this acquisition, we recognized
$25 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets, which is related to trademarks, and $49 million of definite-lived
intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships. The definite-lived intangible assets are being
amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization period of 10 years. We also recognized
$20 million of goodwill, which is generally tax deductible, and is related primarily to the expected synergies from
combining the operations into our business. During the first quarter of 2021, we revised the allocation of the
purchase price to certain identifiable assets and liabilities based on analysis of information as of the acquisition
date, which resulted in a $1 million decrease to goodwill. The working capital adjustments were finalized with
the seller in the second quarter of 2021, resulting in no significant changes.

B. ACQUISITIONS (Concluded)
In the fourth quarter of 2020, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of Work Tools International Inc.
and Elder & Jenks, LLC (collectively, "Work Tools") for approximately $53 million, including $48 million of cash
and $5 million of debt that will be paid out in 18 months less any pending or settled indemnity matters. Work
Tools expands our product offering to our customers as it is a leading manufacturer of high-quality precision
painting tools and accessories including brushes, rollers and mini rollers for DIY and professionals. This
business is included in the Decorative Architectural Products segment. In connection with this acquisition, we
recognized $7 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets, which is related to trademarks, and $27 million of
definite-lived intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships. The definite-lived intangible assets
are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization period of 12 years. We also
recognized $7 million of goodwill, which is generally tax deductible, and is related primarily to the expected
synergies from combining the operations into our business. The working capital adjustments were finalized with
the seller in the first quarter of 2021, resulting in no significant changes.
In the first quarter of 2020, we acquired all of the share capital of SmarTap A.Y Ltd. ("SmarTap") for
approximately $24 million in cash. SmarTap is a developer of a smart bathing system that monitors and controls
the temperature and flow of water. This acquisition provides an adaptable solution for a wide range of products

intangible assets, primarily related to technology, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a
weighted average amortization period of 5 years. We also recognized $14 million of goodwill, which is not tax
deductible, and is related primarily to the expected synergies from combining the operations into our business.
C. DIVESTITURES
On May 31, 2021, we completed the divestiture of our Hüppe GmbH ("Hüppe") business, a manufacturer
of shower enclosures and shower trays. In connection with the divestiture, we recognized a loss of $18 million
for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is included in other, net in our consolidated statements of
operations. This loss resulted primarily from the recognition of $23 million of currency translation losses that
were previously included within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The sale of Hüppe does not
represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results and therefore was
not presented as discontinued operations. Prior to the divestiture, the results of the business were included in
our Plumbing Products segment.
On September 6, 2019, we completed the divestiture of our UK Window Group business ("UKWG"), a
manufacturer and distributor of windows and doors, for proceeds of approximately $8 million, of which $2 million
net of cash disposed was received upon sale. The remaining $6 million was accounted for as a note receivable
that was collected in the third quarter of 2021. In connection with the sale, we recognized a loss of $70 million
for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is included in income from discontinued operations, net in the
consolidated statements of operations.
On November 6, 2019, we completed the divestiture of our Milgard Windows and Doors business
("Milgard"), a manufacturer and distributor of windows and doors for proceeds of approximately $720 million, net
of cash disposed. In connection with the sale, we recognized a gain on the divestiture of $368 million for the
year ended December 31, 2019, which is included in income from discontinued operations, net in the
consolidated statements of operations.
In 2019, we determined that the previously reported Windows and Other Specialty Products segment met
the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation as a result of the combined sale of UKWG and Milgard.
These businesses represented all of our windows businesses and all remaining businesses in the Windows and
Other Specialty Products segment.

C. DIVESTITURES (Continued)
During the second quarter of 2020, a $17 million pre-tax post-closing adjustment related to the finalization
of working capital items was recorded to income from discontinued operations, net in the consolidated
statements of operations, as a gain on the divestiture of Milgard. As of December 31, 2020, we received
$17 million in cash, which was presented in investing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flow as
proceeds from disposition of businesses, net of cash disposed. All post-closing adjustments related to our
divestiture of Milgard were finalized with the buyer in the second quarter of 2020.
On November 14, 2019, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell Masco Cabinetry LLC ("Cabinetry"),
a manufacturer of cabinetry products. We completed the divestiture of Cabinetry on February 18, 2020 for
proceeds of approximately $989 million, including $853 million, net of cash disposed. The remaining
$136 million was accounted for as preferred stock issued by a holding company of the buyer; refer to Note I for
additional information. The working capital adjustment was finalized with the buyer in the second quarter of
2020, resulting in no significant changes to net proceeds. In connection with the sale, we recognized a gain on
the divestiture of $585 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was included in income from
discontinued operations, net in the consolidated statements of operations. We determined that the previously
reported Cabinetry Products segment met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation as Cabinetry
represented all of our cabinet businesses and all remaining businesses in the Cabinetry Products segment.
We determined that the assets and liabilities for Cabinetry, Milgard and UKWG met the held for sale criteria
in accordance with ASC 205-20, Discontinued Operations, during 2019. We ceased recording depreciation and
amortization for the held for sale assets upon meeting the held for sale criteria.
As the combined sale of UKWG and Milgard and the sale of Cabinetry each represented a strategic shift
that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results, these businesses were presented in
discontinued operations separate from continuing operations for all periods presented. In addition, depreciation
and amortization, capital expenditures, and significant non-cash operating and investing activities related to
discontinued operations were separately disclosed.
The results of the windows businesses recorded in income from discontinued operations before income tax
was income of $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, and a loss of $1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2019. The results of the cabinetry business recorded in income from discontinued operations
before income tax was a loss of $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and income of $107 million
the year ended December 31, 2019.

our lighting business.
Other indefinite-lived intangible assets were $109 million at both December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively, and principally included registered trademarks. In the first quarter of 2019, we recognized a $9
million impairment charge related to a registered trademark in our Decorative Architectural Products segment
due to a change in the long-term net sales projections of lighting products.
We completed our annual impairment testing of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the
fourth quarters of 2021, 2020 and 2019. There was no impairment of goodwill for any of our reporting units or of

At December 31, 2021, amortization expense related to the definite-lived intangible assets during each of
the next five years will be as follows: 2022 – $30 million; 2023 – $29 million; 2024 – $28 million, 2025 – $23
million and 2026 – $22 million
I. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Preferred Stock of ACProducts Holding, Inc. As described in Note C, in conjunction with our
divestiture of Cabinetry, we received preferred stock of ACProducts Holding, Inc., the holding company of the
buyer, with a liquidation preference of $150 million. We did not have the ability to exercise significant influence,
and the fair value of the preferred stock was not readily available. We elected to measure this investment at
cost (less impairment, if any) adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or
similar investments of the same issuer for subsequent measurements of fair value. As the preferred stock was
received in conjunction with the sale of Cabinetry, we determined the cost to be the fair value of the preferred
stock at the time of sale, which was determined to be $136 million and was included in other assets in our
consolidated balance sheet.
In May 2021, we received, in cash, $166 million for the redemption of the preferred stock, including all
accrued but unpaid dividends, and recognized a gain of $14 million, which was included within other, net in our
consolidated statements of operations.
Prior to the redemption, dividends earned on this investment were included within other, net in our
consolidated statements of operations with a corresponding increase to our basis in the investment. We had
dividend income of $6 million and $10 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The preferred stock was reported at the carrying value of $146 million in other assets in our consolidated
balance sheet at December 31, 2020.
Kraus Acquisition Contingent Consideration. As described in Note B, we may be obligated to pay up
to an additional $50 million in 2023 for the Kraus acquisition contingent upon the achievement of certain
financial performance metrics for the year ending December 31, 2022. The measurement of the liability for
contingent consideration is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, and is therefore
classified as Level 3 inputs. Examples of utilized unobservable inputs are estimated future revenues and
earnings of the acquired business and an applicable discount rate. The estimate of the liability may fluctuate if
there are changes in the forecast of the acquired business' future revenues and earnings, as a result of actual
levels achieved or in the discount rate used to determine the present value of contingent future cash flows. All
subsequent remeasurements from the initial estimate at the time of acquisition are recorded in other, net in the
consolidated statements of operations, as described in Note R. The fair value of the liability was estimated to be
$24 million and $8 million as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively, using probability weighted
discounted cash flows and a discount rate that reflects the uncertainty surrounding the expected outcomes,
which we believe is appropriate and representative of a market participant assumption.
Fair Value of Debt. The fair value of our short-term and long-term fixed-rate debt instruments is based
principally upon modeled market prices for the same or similar issues, which are Level 1 inputs. The aggregate
estimated market value of our short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2021 was approximately $3.2
billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.0 billion. The aggregate estimated market value of our
short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2020 was approximately $3.3 billion, compared with the
aggregate carrying value of $2.8 billion.

All of the notes and debentures above are senior indebtedness and, other than the 7.75% Notes due 2029,
are redeemable at our option.
On March 4, 2021, we issued $600 million of 1.500% Notes due February 15, 2028, $600 million of
2.000% Notes due February 15, 2031 and $300 million of 3.125% Notes due February 15, 2051. We received
proceeds of $1,495 million, net of discount, for the issuance of these Notes. The Notes are senior indebtedness
and are redeemable at our option at the applicable redemption price. On March 22, 2021, proceeds from the
debt issuances, together with cash on hand, were used to repay and early retire our $326 million 5.950% Notes
due March 15, 2022, $500 million 4.450% Notes due April 1, 2025, and $500 million 4.375% Notes due April 1,

the year ended December 31, 2021, which was recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of
operations.
On September 18, 2020, we issued $300 million of 2.000% Notes due October 1, 2030 (the "2030 Notes")
and received proceeds of $300 million, net of discount, for the issuance of the 2030 Notes. Also on September
18, 2020, we issued an incremental $100 million of our existing 4.500% Notes due May 15, 2047 (the "2047

incremental $100 million formed a single series with the existing $300 million of 4.500% Notes due May 15,
2047. The 2030 Notes and 2047 Notes are senior indebtedness and are redeemable at our option at the
applicable redemption price. On September 29, 2020, proceeds from the debt issuances were used to repay
and early retire our $400 million 3.500% Notes due April 1, 2021. In connection with this early retirement, we

L. DEBT (Continued)
On March 13, 2019, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with an aggregate
commitment of $1.0 billion and a maturity date of March 13, 2024. On December 22, 2021, we amended the
Credit Agreement with the bank group (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement was amended
to (i) expand the “Agreed Currencies” for which loans thereunder may be denominated outside of the swingline
facility to include British Pounds Sterling and Canadian Dollars, together with their applicable interest rate
benchmark, (ii) replace the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Euro Interbank Offered Rate
(“EURIBOR”) as the interest rate benchmark for purposes of loans denominated in Euros and (iii) provide
mechanics for the replacement of a benchmark for an applicable Agreed Currency upon the occurrence of
certain specified events. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the replacement reference interest rate
benchmark for loans denominated in U.S. dollars upon the eventual discontinuation of LIBOR will have a
benchmark adjustment applied based on its historical relationship to LIBOR, which can be either the term
Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread, daily simple SOFR plus a spread, or another
alternative interest rate index selected by the Administrative Agent and us.
Under the Amended Credit Agreement, at our request and subject to certain conditions, we can increase
the aggregate commitment up to an additional $500 million with the current lenders or new lenders. Upon entry
into the Credit Agreement, our credit agreement dated March 28, 2013, as amended, with an aggregate
commitment of $750 million, was terminated.
The Amended Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility available to us and one
of our foreign subsidiaries, in U.S. dollars, European euros, British Pounds sterling, Canadian dollars and
certain other currencies for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit. Borrowings under the
revolving credit loans denominated in any agreed upon currency other than U.S. dollars are limited to $500
million, equivalent. We can also borrow swingline loans up to $100 million and obtain letters of credit of up to
$25 million; outstanding letters of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement reduce our borrowing capacity.
At December 31, 2021, we had no outstanding standby letters of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement.
Revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. Dollars bear interest under the Amended Credit Agreement at
a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. prime rate, (ii) the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.0%; plus an applicable margin
based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. Foreign currency revolving credit loans denominated in
Canadian Dollars bear interest under the Amended Credit Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the greater
of (i) the rate equal to the PRIMCAN Index rate and (ii) the CDOR Rate for a one month interest period, plus
1.0%; plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. Foreign currency
revolving credit loans denominated in Pounds Sterling bear interest under the Amended Credit Agreement at a
rate per annum equal to the Daily Simple SONIA plus 0.0326%. Foreign currency revolving credit loans
denominated in Euros bear interest at the adjusted EURIBOR Rate, plus an applicable margin based upon our
then-applicable corporate credit ratings. The various benchmarks are subject to applicable floors as specified in
the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement also provides mechanics for the replacement
of a benchmark upon the occurrence of certain specified events.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain (A) a net leverage
ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not exceeding 4.0 to 1.0, and (B) a minimum interest coverage ratio, as
adjusted for certain items, not less than 2.5 to 1.0.
In order for us to borrow under the Amended Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in our
covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement (i.e., in addition to the two financial covenants, principally
limitations on subsidiary debt, negative pledge restrictions, legal compliance requirements and maintenance of
properties and insurance) and our representations and warranties in the Amended Credit Agreement must be
true in all material respects on the date of borrowing (i.e., principally no material adverse change or litigation
likely to result in a material adverse change, since December 31, 2018, no material ERISA or environmental
non-compliance, and no material tax deficiency). We were in compliance with all covenants and no borrowings
were outstanding at December 31, 2021.
At December 31, 2021, the debt maturities during each of the next five years were as follows: 2022 – $10
million; 2023– $5 million; 2024 – $3 million; 2025 – $3 million and 2026 – $2 million.

Performance Restricted Stock Units. Under our Long Term Incentive Program, we grant performance
restricted stock units to certain senior executives. These performance restricted stock units will vest and share
awards will be issued at no cost to the employees, subject to our achievement of specified return on invested
capital performance goals, and beginning with the 2020 grant, an additional earning per share metric over a
three-year period that have been established by our Compensation Committee for the performance period. To
receive the award, the recipient must be employed through the share award date. Performance restricted stock
units are granted at a target number; based on our performance, the number of performance restricted stock
units that vest can be adjusted downward to zero and upward to a maximum of 200 percent of the target
number.
During 2021, we granted 85,360 performance restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of
approximately $53 per share, 104,757 performance restricted stock units were issued. No performance
restricted stock units were forfeited. At December 31, 2021, there were 186,304 shares vested, but unissued.
During 2020, we granted 133,390 performance restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of

Phantom Stock Awards. Certain non-U.S. employees are granted phantom stock awards.
We recognized expense of $6 million in 2021, and expense of $4 million in both 2020 and 2019 related to

As of January 1, 2010, substantially all our domestic and foreign qualified and domestic non-qualified
defined-benefit pension plans were frozen to future benefit accruals. In December 2019, our Board of Directors
approved a resolution to terminate our qualified domestic defined-benefit pension plans. In the second quarter
of 2021, we settled these plans and made a final contribution of $101 million. The settlement loss included
$447 million of pre-tax actuarial losses that were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income

We expect to recognize $7 million of pre-tax net loss from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
into net periodic pension cost in 2022 related to our defined-benefit pension plans. For plans in which almost all
of the plan's participants are inactive, pre-tax net loss within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is
amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining life expectancy of the inactive plan participants. For
plans which do not have almost all inactive participants, pre-tax net loss within accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) is amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining service
period of the active employees expected to receive benefits from the plan.
Plan Assets. Our qualified defined-benefit pension plan weighted average asset allocation, which is
based upon fair value, was as follows:

For our qualified defined-benefit pension plans, we have adopted accounting guidance that defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and prescribes disclosures about fair value
measurements. Accounting guidance defines fair value as "the price that would be received to sell an asset or
paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date."
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There
have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020.
Common and Preferred Stocks and Short-Term and Other Investments: Valued at the closing price
reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded or based on the active market for
similar securities. Certain investments are valued based on net asset value ("NAV"), which approximates fair
value. Such basis is determined by referencing the respective fund's underlying assets. There are no unfunded
commitments or other restrictions associated with these investments.
Private Equity and Hedge Funds: Valued based on an estimated fair value using either a market approach
or an income approach, both of which require a significant degree of judgment. There is no active trading
market for these investments and they are generally illiquid. Due to the significant unobservable inputs, the fair
value measurements used to estimate fair value are a Level 3 input.
69
MASCO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
N. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued)
Corporate, Government and Other Debt Securities: Valued based on either the closing price reported on
the active market on which the individual securities are traded or using pricing models maximizing the use of
observable inputs for similar securities. This includes basing value on yields currently available on comparable
securities of issuers with similar credit ratings.
Real Estate: Real Estate consists of Real Estate Investment Trusts and property funds. Real Estate
Investment Trusts are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual
securities are traded or based on the active market for similar securities. Real Estate property funds are valued
based on the underlying investments, which include inputs such as cost, discounted future cash flows,
independent appraisals and market based comparable data. There is no active trading market for these
investments, and they are generally illiquid. Due to the significant unobservable inputs, the fair value
measurements used to estimate fair value are a Level 3 input.
Common Collective Trust Fund: Valued based on an amortized cost basis, which approximates fair value.
Such basis is determined by reference to the respective fund's underlying assets, which are primarily cash
equivalents. There are no unfunded commitments or other restrictions associated with this fund.
Buy-in Annuity: Valued based on the associated benefit obligation for which the buy-in annuity covers the
benefits, which approximates fair value. Such basis is determined based on various assumptions, including the
discount rate, long-term rate of return on plan assets and mortality rate.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net
realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while we believe our valuation methods are
appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to
determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the
reporting date.
The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the qualified defined-benefit pension
plan assets at fair value as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, as well as those valued at NAV using the practical
expedient, which approximates fair value, in millions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
N. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued)
The discount rate for obligations for 2021, 2020 and 2019 is based primarily upon the expected duration of
each defined-benefit pension plan's liabilities matched to the December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 Willis Towers
Watson Rate Link Curve. At December 31, 2021, such rates for our defined-benefit pension plans ranged from
0.8 percent to 2.6 percent, with the most significant portion of the liabilities having a discount rate for obligations
of 1.2 percent or higher. At December 31, 2020, such rates for our defined-benefit pension plans ranged from
0.7 percent to 2.1 percent, with the most significant portion of the liabilities having a discount rate for obligations
of 1.6 percent or higher. At December 31, 2019, such rates for our defined‑benefit pension plans ranged from
1.1 percent to 3.0 percent, with the most significant portion of the liabilities having a discount rate for obligations
of 2.4 percent or higher. The increase in the weighted average discount rate from 2020 to 2021 is principally the
result of higher long-term interest rates in the bond markets. The decrease in the weighted average discount
rate from 2019 to 2020 is principally due to lower long-term interest rates in the bond markets.
Our weighted average projected long-term rate of return on plan assets for the foreign qualified defined-
benefit pension plans was 3.0 percent, 2.9 percent and 3.9 percent for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The asset allocation of the investment portfolio was developed with the objective of achieving our expected
rate of return and reducing volatility of asset returns, and considered the freezing of future benefits. The fixed-
income portfolio is invested in corporate bonds, bond index funds and U.S. Treasury securities. Although we
would expect alternative investments to yield a higher rate of return than the targeted overall long-term return,
these investments are subject to greater volatility and would be less liquid than financial instruments that trade
on public markets.
The fair value of our plan assets is subject to risk including significant concentrations of risk in our plan
assets related to equity, interest rate and operating risk. In order to ensure plan assets are sufficient to pay
benefits, a portion of our foreign qualified plans' assets are allocated to equity investments and real assets that
are expected, over time, to earn higher returns with more volatility than fixed-income investments which more
closely match pension liabilities. Within equity, risk is mitigated by targeting a portfolio that is broadly diversified
by geography, market capitalization, manager mandate size, investment style and process.
In order to minimize asset volatility relative to the liabilities, a significant portion of plan assets are allocated
to fixed-income investments that are exposed to interest rate risk. Rate increases generally will result in a
decline in fixed-income assets, while reducing the present value of the liabilities. Conversely, rate decreases will
increase fixed income assets, partially offsetting the related increase in the liabilities.
Potential events or circumstances that could have a negative effect on estimated fair value include the
risks of inadequate diversification and other operating risks. To mitigate these risks, investments are diversified
across and within asset classes in support of investment objectives. Policies and practices to address operating
risks include ongoing manager oversight, plan and asset class investment guidelines and instructions that are
communicated to managers, and periodic compliance and audit reviews to ensure adherence to these policies.
In addition, we periodically seek the input of our independent advisor to ensure the investment policy is
appropriate.
Other. We sponsor certain post-retirement benefit plans that provide medical, dental and life insurance
coverage for eligible retirees and dependents based upon age and length of service. Substantially all of these
plans were frozen as of January 1, 2010. The aggregate present value of the unfunded accumulated post-
retirement benefit obligation was $9 million and $10 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Cash Flows. At December 31, 2021, we expect to contribute approximately $12 million in 2022 to our
non-qualified (domestic) defined-benefit pension plans.

$2.0 billion of shares of our common stock in open-market transactions or otherwise, replacing the previous
Board of Directors authorization established in 2019. During 2021, we repurchased and retired 17.6 million
shares of our common stock (including 0.7 million shares to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units
granted in 2021), for cash aggregating $1,026 million. At December 31, 2021, we had $1,128 million remaining
under the 2021 authorization.
During 2020, we repurchased and retired 18.8 million shares of our common stock (including 0.4 million
shares to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted in 2020), for cash aggregating $727 million.
During 2019, we repurchased and retired 20.1 million shares of our common stock (including 0.6 million
shares to offset the dilutive impact of long-term stock awards granted in 2019) for cash aggregating $896
million.
On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share were $0.845 ($0.705) in 2021,
$0.545 ($0.550) in 2020 and $0.495 ($0.510) in 2019.

S. INCOME TAXES (Continued)
We continue to maintain a valuation allowance on certain state and foreign deferred tax assets as of
December 31, 2021. Should we determine that we would not be able to realize our remaining deferred tax
assets, or the deferred tax assets that currently have a valuation allowance become realizable in these
jurisdictions in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be recorded in the period such
determination is made.
The current portion of the state and local income tax includes a $10 million, $9 million and $8 million tax
benefit from the reversal of an accrual for uncertain tax positions resulting primarily from the expiration of
applicable statutes of limitations in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The deferred portion of the state and
local taxes includes a $3 million tax expense in 2021 and a $1 million tax benefit in 2019, resulting from
changes in valuation allowances against state and local deferred tax assets. The deferred portion of the foreign
taxes includes a $2 million tax expense in 2021 and a $5 million and $4 million tax benefit in 2020 and 2019,
respectively, from a change in the valuation allowances against foreign deferred tax assets.
We incurred a $14 million state income tax expense in 2021 resulting from the loss on the termination of
our qualified domestic defined-benefit pension plans providing no tax benefit in certain state jurisdictions.
The loss from the divestiture of Hüppe provided no tax benefit in certain foreign jurisdictions resulting in a
$4 million foreign income tax expense in 2021.
We recorded a $16 million income tax expense due to the elimination of disproportionate tax effects from
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) relating to our interest rate swap following the retirement of the
related debt, and the termination of our qualified domestic defined-benefit pension plans in 2021.
Our capital allocation strategy includes reinvesting in our business, balancing share repurchases with
potential acquisitions and maintaining a meaningful dividend. In order to provide greater flexibility in the
execution of our capital allocation strategy, we may repatriate earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries. Our
deferred tax balance on investment in foreign subsidiaries reflects the impact of all taxable temporary
differences, including those related to substantially all undistributed foreign earnings, except those that are
legally restricted, and consists primarily of foreign withholding taxes.
Of the $37 million and $65 million deferred tax assets related to the net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, $25 million and $35 million, respectively, will expire
within approximately 15 years and $12 million and $30 million, respectively, have no expiration.
A reconciliation of the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate to the income tax expense on income from continuing
operations before income taxes was as follows:
U.S. Federal statutory tax rate
State and local taxes, net of U.S. Federal tax benefit
Higher taxes on foreign earnings

If recognized, $64 million and $58 million of the liability for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively, net of any U.S. Federal tax benefit, would impact our effective tax rate.
Of the $92 million and $84 million total liability for uncertain tax positions (including related interest and
penalties) at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, $88 million and $81 million are recorded in other
liabilities, respectively, and $4 million and $3 million are recorded as a net offset to other assets, respectively.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, and various local, state and foreign jurisdictions.
We continue to participate in the Compliance Assurance Process ("CAP"). CAP is a real-time audit of the U.S.
Federal income tax return that allows the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), working in conjunction with us, to
determine tax return compliance with the U.S. Federal tax law prior to filing the return. This program provides us
with greater certainty about our tax liability for a given year within months, rather than years, of filing our annual
tax return and greatly reduces the need for recording a liability for U.S. Federal uncertain tax positions. The IRS
has completed their examination of our consolidated U.S. Federal tax returns through 2020. With few
exceptions, we are no longer subject to state or foreign income tax examinations on filed returns for years
before 2018.
As a result of tax audit closings, settlements and the expiration of applicable statutes of limitation in various
jurisdictions within the next 12 months, we anticipate that it is reasonably possible the liability for uncertain tax
positions could be reduced by approximately $10 million.

We follow accounting guidance regarding determining whether instruments granted in share-based
payment transactions are participating securities. This accounting guidance clarifies that share-based payment
awards that entitle their holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends prior to vesting should be considered
participating securities. In 2020, we began granting restricted stock units. The dividends associated with the
unvested restricted stock units are forfeitable, and consequently, the restricted stock units are not considered a
participating security and are not accounted for under the two-class method. We have also granted restricted
stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends on unvested shares; such unvested restricted stock
awards are considered participating securities. As participating securities, the unvested shares are required to
be included in the calculation of our basic income per common share, using the two-class method. The two-
class method of computing income per common share is an allocation method that calculates income per share
for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation
rights in undistributed earnings. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we allocated
dividends and undistributed earnings to the participating securities.
Additionally, 296,000, 374,000 and 854,000 common shares for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related
to stock options.
Common shares outstanding included on our balance sheet and for the calculation of income per common
share do not include unvested stock awards (0.6 million and 1 million common shares at December 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively); shares outstanding for legal requirements included all common shares that have voting
rights (including unvested stock awards).

U. OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation. We are involved in claims and litigation, including class actions, mass torts and regulatory
proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. The types of matters may include, among
others: competition, product liability, employment, warranty, advertising, contract, personal injury, environmental,
intellectual property, product compliance and insurance coverage. We believe we have adequate defenses in
these matters. We are also subject to product safety regulations, product recalls and direct claims for product
liabilities. We believe the likelihood that the outcome of these claims, litigation and product safety matters
would have a material adverse effect on us is remote. However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in
these matters, and we could, in the future, incur judgments or penalties, enter into settlements of claims or
revise our expectations regarding the outcome of these matters, which could materially impact our results of
operations.
Warranty. Changes in our warranty liability were as follows, in millions:

Other Matters. We enter into contracts, which include reasonable and customary indemnifications that
are standard for the industries in which we operate. Such indemnifications include claims made against builders
by homeowners for issues relating to our products and workmanship. In conjunction with divestitures and other
transactions, we occasionally provide reasonable and customary indemnifications. We have not paid a material
amount related to these indemnifications, and we evaluate the probability that amounts may be incurred and
record an estimated liability when it is probable and reasonably estimable.
