Heritage™ Pomeroy Freestanding Bath and Salcombe Floor Standing Bath Shower Mixer

At Masco, we 

believe in better 

living possibilities.

Masco Corporation is a global leader in the design, 

manufacture and distribution of branded home improvement 

and building products. Our portfolio of products enhances 

the way consumers all over the world experience and enjoy 

their living spaces.

Our founder, Alex Manoogian, arrived in the United States in 

1920 with $50 in his pocket and a relentless drive to make 

a better life for himself and his family. Decades later, that 

drive continues to permeate every aspect of our business.

We believe in better living possibilities—for our homes, our 

environment, and our communities. Across our businesses 

and geographies, we seek out possibilities to better 

ourselves, enhance our consumers’ lives, improve the world 

around us, and create long-term value for our shareholders.

STRENGTH. 

RESILIENCY. 

SUSTAINABILITY. 

In 2022, Masco continued to demonstrate our 
strength, resiliency, and sustainability as an 
enterprise. We delivered strong performance in 
the first half of the year, followed by a slowdown 
in demand across most of our product categories 
in the second half of the year. Overall, we 
achieved four percent year-over-year sales growth, 
resulting in a two-year stacked sales growth of 
21 percent. However, despite significant pricing 
actions and cost-control measures, persistent 
inflation and supply chain disruptions challenged 
our margins and resulted in an eight percent 
decline in our operating profit. Even amidst these 
volatile conditions, we leveraged our industry-
leading brands to deliver new product innovations, 
reinvested in our business to position us for 
future growth, and returned nearly $1.2 billion 
to shareholders through share repurchases and 
dividends.  

In our Plumbing Products segment, Delta Faucet 
Company continued to leverage its strong brands 
and distribution channels in the U.S. to meet 
the ever-evolving demands of professionals and 
consumers. Its premium Brizo® brand achieved 
record sales, becoming one of Masco’s top-
performing, organically developed brands since its 
launch in 2004. Hansgrohe delivered another year 
of record sales through continued growth in key 
markets, including Germany and China. Through its 
focused geographic expansion, product innovation, 
and strong execution, Hansgrohe is well-positioned 
to drive future growth. Watkins Wellness also 
delivered strong results. Its growth was driven by 

consumer demand for its industry-leading spas 
and trends toward wellness-oriented products and 
products that enhance outdoor living spaces.  

Growth in our Decorative Architectural Products 
segment in 2022 was driven by Behr Paint 
Company which, for the second consecutive 
year, achieved a double-digit increase in sales to 
professional painters. Pro paint sales now account 
for approximately one third of our paint business— 
evidence of our continued, solid partnership with 
The Home Depot and increased trust of the BEHR® 
brand by professionals. In Do-It-Yourself (DIY) 
paint, despite softened demand, we generated 
consumer pull with innovations such as BEHR 
DYNASTY®, our most stain-repellant, scuff-resistant, 
one-coat-hide paint that we have offered. Just in 
time for the 2023 summer paint season, we plan 
to launch BEHR DYNASTY® Exterior, expanding the 
lineup of this highly rated paint line. Behr’s recently 
launched products in adjacent categories—such as 
aerosols, interior stains, and caulks and sealants— 
also performed well, and we plan to expand the 
availability of these offerings in 2023. We will 
continue to make strategic investments in our paint 
business to help us capture additional share in 
both the DIY and Pro markets.  

Consistent with our commitment to be a good 
corporate citizen, we enhanced our focus on 
sustainability and environmental, social and 
governance (ESG) initiatives. We are proud of 
our efforts to develop environmentally friendly 
products and are pleased to report that sustainable

Looking forward to 2023, we expect continued 
softening in repair and remodel demand as 
consumers face persistent inflation and higher 
interest rates. In this challenging economic 
environment, we remain focused on leveraging 
the tools and continuous improvement mindset of 
our Masco Operating System to drive efficiencies. 
We are taking a balanced approach to managing 
short-term headwinds while furthering progress in 
areas that will position us to take advantage of the 
favorable longer-term fundamentals of the housing 
and repair and remodel markets.  

We have confidence in our portfolio of businesses 
and our 19,000 dedicated employees across 
the globe, and we will continue to invest in our 
brands, capabilities, and people to outperform the 
competition in both the near and long term. With 
our market-leading brands and strong free cash flow, 
liquidity, and capital allocation strategy, we believe 
we are well-positioned for profitable growth. We 
will continue to deliver better living possibilities to 
our consumers’ homes, our environment, and our 
communities while creating long-term value for our 
shareholders.

products drove approximately 50% of Masco’s 
revenues in 2022. To further contribute to a better 
environment, we also recently announced our 
aspirational target to reduce scope 1 and 2 absolute 
greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by the year 2030 
(compared to 2020 emissions). In the workplace, 
we reinforced our commitment to employees through 
continued investment in programs to promote their 
development and sustain their health and safety. 
And in the communities where we live and work, we 
made a difference through partnerships, donations, 
and volunteerism. We are proud that across the 
enterprise we cumulatively made $5 million in 
donations over the last five years to nonprofit 
organizations promoting diversity, equity, and more 
inclusive practices in America’s workplaces and 
communities. This is in addition to strong community 
engagement by our corporate headquarters and 
business units, including Delta Faucet Company’s 
(Brizo®) and Kichler Lighting’s national sponsorship 
of the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway and Behr’s 
volunteerism as part of its 75th anniversary 
celebrations. All these actions demonstrate our 
commitment to doing business the right way.

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 to develop innovative products, our ability to 
maintain our public reputation, our ability to maintain our competitive position in our industries, our reliance on key 
customers, the cost and availability of materials, our dependence on 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 acquired and may in the future acquire, our ability to attract, develop and 
retain a talented and diverse workforce, risks associated with cybersecurity vulnerabilities, threats and attacks, risks 
associated with our reliance on information systems and technology and the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic 
on our business and operations. 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.

This  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  to  develop  innovative 
products,  our  ability  to  maintain  our  public  reputation,  our  ability  to  maintain  our  competitive  position  in  our 
industries,  our  reliance  on  key  customers,  the  cost  and  availability  of  materials,  our  dependence  on  suppliers

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 acquired and may 
in the future acquire, our ability to attract, develop and retain a talented and diverse workforce, risks associated 
with cybersecurity vulnerabilities, threats and attacks, risks associated with our reliance on information systems 
and technology and the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations.

These  and  other  factors  are  discussed  in  detail  in  Item  1A.  "Risk  Factors"  of  this  Report.  Any  forward-

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.

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 2022 resulted from 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  2022,  we  continued  to  return  value  to  our  shareholders  by  repurchasing  approximately  16.6  million 
shares  of  our  common  stock  and  increasing  our  quarterly  dividend  by  approximately  19  percent  compared  to 
2021. 

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.

2

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, and homebuilders. 
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  aquatic  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  aquatic  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®,  PLUMBSHOP®,  COBRA®  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 and building products. 

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, Zurn Elkay Water 
Solutions  Corporation,  Fortune  Brands  Innovations,  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,  China  and  Canada.  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.

3

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 32 percent, 30 
percent and 33 percent of our consolidated net sales from our continuing operations in 2022, 2021, and 2020, 
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) 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.  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. 

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 Innovations, 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,  including  environmental  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

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’  Compensation  and  Talent  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, and cultivate a culture where our employees feel like they belong. We 
are also committed to keeping our employees healthy and safe in the workplace. 

Leadership 

We support and foster the growth of our employees by providing development opportunities, experiences 
and  tools  that  build  and  strengthen  leadership  capabilities.  Our  Leadership  Framework,  which  is  how  we 
internally describe the capabilities and behaviors that we believe make great leaders, serves 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.  

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

5

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, 2022:

•

•

•

In  the  U.S.,  our  leadership  team  is  comprised  of  33  percent  women  and  26  percent  racially  / 
ethnically diverse individuals, as compared to the EEO-1 benchmark of 25 percent and 21 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 30 percent 
racially / ethnically diverse individuals, as compared to the EEO-1 benchmark of 28 percent and 28 
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  37 
percent women and 55 percent racially / ethnically diverse individuals, as compared to the EEO-1 
benchmark  of  28  percent  and  38  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 representation goals for 2025 for certain groups within our U.S. 
workforce  along  with  goals  linked  to  employees’  experiences  related  to  inclusion  and  belonging.  These 
aspirational  goals  are  ambitious  and  are  not  intended  to  be  commitments,  promises,  or  guarantees  of  future 
achievement. Any progress towards these goals is regularly measured and is reviewed by our Compensation 
and  Talent  Committee  of  our  Board  of  Directors  and  executive  management  team.    After  establishing  these 
goals, we faced and continue to face complexities and variables that are impacting our progress and may result 
in us not achieving our goals, such as a tightening labor market, challenging economic environment, changes to 
our  portfolio  of  businesses  via  acquisitions  or  divestitures,  and  adjustments  to  our  job  levels  and  managerial 
headcount. We describe those goals in our Corporate Social Responsibility report, which is not incorporated by 
reference into this Report.

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. 

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 2022, we 
continued to implement the best practices and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and the 
Department of Labor (OSHA). 

Our Workforce

At December 31, 2022, we employed approximately 19,000 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.

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;
inflationary pressures;
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, wars or conflicts or other catastrophic events.

We have been, and may in the future be, negatively impacted by adverse changes or uncertainty involving 
one  or  more  of  the  factors  listed  above.  In  addition,  the  fundamentals  driving  our  business  are  impacted  by 
economic  cycles.   An  economic  contraction  or  recession  have  in  the  past  resulted  in  and  could  in  the  future 
result  in  a  decline  in  residential  repair  and  remodeling  activity  or  in  demand  for  new  home  construction, 
adversely affecting our results of operations and financial position.

We may not achieve all of the anticipated benefits of our strategic initiatives. 

We  continue  to  pursue  our  strategy  of  driving  the  full  potential  of  our  core  businesses,  leveraging 
opportunities  across  our  enterprise,  and  actively  managing  our  portfolio.  Our  strategy  is  designed  to  grow 
revenue,  improve  profitability  and  increase  shareholder  value  over  the  mid-  to  long-term.  We  execute  our 
strategy by investing in our brands, developing innovative products, making capital investments, and focusing 
on  continuous  productivity  improvement  and  operational  excellence,  among  other  initiatives.  Our  business 
performance  and  results  could  be  adversely  affected  if  we  are  unable  to  timely  and  effectively  execute  our 
strategy. We could also be adversely affected if we have not appropriately prioritized and balanced our strategic 
initiatives or if we are unable to effectively manage change throughout our organization.

7

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, risks associated with interpretation and 
enforcement of foreign regulations and the policies of foreign governments. 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

We are dependent on suppliers and service providers.

We are dependent on third parties for our raw materials, many of our components and finished products 
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 these goods and services. Failure 
of our suppliers to timely provide us goods and services on commercially reasonable terms or to comply with 
applicable  legal  and  regulatory  requirements  or  our  supplier  business  practices  policy  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 on whom we depend could be impacted by: changing laws, regulations 
and policies, including those related to climate change; cybersecurity breaches; labor availability; raw material 
shortages; energy availability; supply disruptions; and adverse weather conditions, pandemics, and other force 
majeure events. Any of these factors could disrupt our third parties’ operations and result in shortages of supply, 
assertion  of  force  majeure  and  increases  in  the  prices  charged  to  us  for  the  raw  materials,  components  and 
finished  products  they  produce  or  services  they  provide.  Sourcing  these  raw  materials,  components,  finished 
products  and  services  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 supply, has disrupted and 
could continue to disrupt our business and may have a material adverse effect on 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  and  costs,  changes  in  economic  conditions  and  trade 
policies and laws and regulations, together with the limited number of suppliers available to us, 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 finished products from our international and domestic 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 issues, our results of operations and financial position could be adversely affected.

8

Variability  in  the  cost  and  availability  of  our  raw  materials,  component  parts  and  finished  products 
could affect our results of operations and financial position.

We  purchase  substantial  amounts  of  raw  materials,  component  parts  and  finished  products  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  diminished  availability, 
increased tariffs and inflation or unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates have increased and 
may  in  the  future  increase  the  prices  for  our  products  and  negatively  impact  our  results  of  operations  and 
financial position. Further, our production has been and may in the future 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.  Energy  prices 
have  also  increased  and,  this  coupled  with  potential  energy  supply  shortages,  could  continue  to  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,  production,  transportation  and  labor  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.

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.

There are risks associated with our international operations and global strategies.

In  2022,  20  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  other  locations,  including Asia  and  Mexico  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, wars or conflicts or other catastrophic events.

We  are  also  affected  by  domestic  and  international  laws  and  regulations  applicable  to  companies  doing 
business  outside  of  the  U.S.  or  importing  and  exporting  goods  and  materials. These  include  anti-bribery/anti-
corruption  laws,  laws  regulating  competition,  sanctions,  tax  laws,  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.

9

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  renminbi,  the  Canadian  dollar,  the 
British pound sterling and the Mexican peso, 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.

The  long-term  performance  of  our  businesses  relies  on  our  ability  to  attract,  develop  and  retain  a 
talented and diverse workforce.

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.  We  may  face  challenges  in  recruiting,  developing, 
motivating  and  retaining  employees,  particularly  when  the  labor  market  is  experiencing  low  unemployment 
levels,  increasing  compensation  and  increasing  competition.  We  have  been  and  continue  to  be  affected  by  a 
shortage of qualified personnel primarily for our hourly workforce. 

Additionally  if  we  are  unable  to  attract,  develop  and  retain  key  employees,  build  strong  and  diverse 
leadership  teams,  successfully  implement  our  talent  strategies  or  develop  effective  succession  planning,  our 
results of operations and financial position could be adversely affected.

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 in the future impact the availability and cost of some of our raw 
materials,  components  and  finished  products.  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.

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.

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. 

10

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.

A  number  of  consumer  preferences  are  changing,  including  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. If we do not timely and effectively identify and respond to 
these changes 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.

Damage to our public reputation could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.

Our public image and reputation are important to maintaining our strong brands. Our results of operations 
and  financial  position  could  be  adversely  affected  by  negative  claims  and  comments  in  social  media  or  the 
press, a negative perception regarding our products or company practices, positions or public statements, even 
if  unfounded,  or  a  data  breach.  Furthermore,  there  is  increased  scrutiny  by  stakeholders  on  environmental, 
social  and  governance  (“ESG”)  practices  by  companies,  and  we  may  not  be  able  to  meet  such  stakeholders’ 
expectations. Expectations regarding ESG practices are diverse and rapidly changing, and we may not be able 
to align our ESG practices with such evolving expectations within the timeframes expected by stakeholders or 
without incurring significant costs. In addition, we may not be able to achieve our aspirational goals related to 
our ESG initiatives, which are and may continue to be impacted by many complexities and variables, such as a 
tightening labor market, challenging economic environment, changes to our operations, changes to our portfolio 
of businesses via acquisitions or divestitures, and adjustments to our job levels and managerial headcount. A 
failure or perceived failure by us in this regard may damage our reputation and 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  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,  among  other  things,  our  ability  to  provide  quality  products  with 
desired features at the right price, timely delivery and a high level of customer service. Home center retailers, 
which  have  historically  concentrated  their  sales  efforts  on  retail  consumers  and  remodelers,  are  increasingly 
selling  directly  to  professional  contractors  and  installers,  which  may  adversely  affect  our  margins  on  our 
products that contractors and installers would otherwise buy through our dealers and wholesalers. In addition, 
as home center retailers develop customer experience programs to attract and retain contractors and installers, 
they are relying on us to support their efforts. Such support has been and could continue to be time-consuming 
and costly and these efforts may not be successful, 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 experienced and 
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.

11

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  2022,  our  net  sales  from  our  continuing  operations  to  The  Home  Depot  were  $3.3  billion 
(approximately 38 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 reduced 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, or replace 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. 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 our costs.

Technology and Intellectual Property Risks

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 and to critical third-party information technology platforms we utilize. 
We have implemented security policies, processes and layers of defense designed to help identify and protect 
against misappropriation or corruption of our systems and information and disruption of our operations. Despite 
these  efforts,  systems  we  utilize  have  been  and  may  in  the  future  be  damaged,  disrupted,  ransomed  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  attacks  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, suppliers, customers or consumers, 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  employees,  suppliers,  customers  and  consumers,  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,  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. 

12

We  rely  on  information  systems  and  technology,  and  a  breakdown  or  interruption  of  these  systems 
could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.

We rely on many on-site and cloud-based information systems and technology to process, transmit, store 
and manage information to support our business activities. We may be adversely affected if these information 
systems  breakdown,  fail,  or  are  no  longer  supported  by  third-party  service  providers,  including  cloud  platform 
providers. In addition to the consequences that may occur from interruptions in the current systems we utilize, 
we  continue  to  invest  in  new  technology  systems  throughout  our  company,  including  implementations  of  and 
upgrades  to  critical  systems  at  our  business  units.  System  implementations  and  upgrades  are  complex  and 
require  significant  management  oversight,  and  we  have  experienced,  and  may  continue  to  experience, 
unanticipated  expenses  and  interruptions  to  our  operations  during  these  implementations  and  upgrades.  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  or  upgrade  our 
critical  systems  in  a  timely  manner  or  if  we  experience  significant  unanticipated  expenses  or  disruptions  in 
connection with the implementation, upgrade or update of such systems.

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 have asserted and may in the future 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:  advertising,  competition,  contract,  data  privacy, 
employment,  environmental,  insurance  coverage,  intellectual  property,  personal  injury,  product  compliance, 
product liability, securities and warranty. 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 suppliers to provide finished products and components 
for products that we sell. Due to the difficulty of controlling the quality of finished products and components we 
source  from  these  suppliers,  we  are  exposed  to  risks  relating  to  the  quality  of  such  finished  products  and 
components and to limitations on our recourse against such suppliers.

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.

13

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:

anti-bribery/anti-corruption;
climate change and protection of the environment;
competition practices;
data privacy;
employment and labor matters;
environment, health and safety matters;
product safety and performance;
protection of employees and consumers;
securities matters;
sanctions;
taxation;
trade, including duties and tariffs; and

•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
• wage and hour matters.

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  geographies  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 or may result in restrictions 
on  our  operations.  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.

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.

We operate facilities in the U.S. and around the world which have been and may in the future be adversely 
affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the closure or reduced capacity of certain of our facilities; delays 
or  disruptions  in  our  ability  to  source  and  increases  in  the  cost  of  raw  materials,  components  and  finished 
products;  constraints  in  shipping,  transportation  and  logistics;  and  decreased  employee  availability.  Future 
disruption of our operations or slowdown in domestic and international economic activity due to the COVID-19 
pandemic could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

To  the  extent  COVID-19  impacts  our  business  and  our  operations,  it  may  also  have  the  effect  of 
heightening  certain  of  the  other  risks  described  in  this  Report,  such  as  those  relating  to  our  international 
operations and global strategies and our dependence on suppliers.

We lease our corporate headquarters in Livonia, Michigan, and we own a building in Taylor, Michigan, that 
is  used  by  our  Masco  Technical  Services  (research  and  development)  department.  We  also  lease  an  office 
facility in Luxembourg, which serves as a headquarters for most of our foreign operations.

Each  of  our  operating  divisions  assesses  the  manufacturing,  distribution  and  other  facilities  needed  to 
meet its operating requirements. We regularly review our anticipated requirements for facilities and, on the basis 
of  that  review,  have  and  may  in  the  future,  build,  acquire  or  lease  additional  facilities,  or  expand  additional 
facilities.

Item 5. Market  for  Registrant's  Common  Equity,  Related  Stockholder  Matters  and  Issuer  Purchases  of 

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,  2023,  there  were  approximately  2,600  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 $0.285 per share in the first quarter of 2023 with the intention to increase the annual dividend to $1.14 per 
share.

 We repurchased and retired 16.6 million shares of our common stock for the year ended December 31, 
2022  for  approximately  $914  million. This  included  0.6  million  shares  to  offset  the  dilutive  impact  of  restricted 
stock units granted in 2022. Effective October 20, 2022, 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 2021. At December 31, 2022, we had $2.0 
billion remaining under the 2022 authorization.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

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  pursue  our  strategy  of  driving  the  full  potential  of  our  core  businesses,  leveraging 
opportunities  across  our  enterprise,  and  actively  managing  our  portfolio.    We  remain  confident  in  the 
fundamentals  of  our  business  and  long-term  strategy.  We  execute  our  strategy  by  investing  in  our  brands, 
developing  innovative  products,  making  capital  investments,  and  focusing  on  continuous  productivity 
improvement and operational excellence, among other initiatives. 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, our methodology to drive growth and productivity, 
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

Due to changing market conditions, we are experiencing, and may continue to experience, lower market 
demand  for  our  products.  We  have  been  experiencing,  and  may  continue  to  experience,  elevated  commodity 
and other input costs, elevated transportation costs and supply chain disruptions, particularly disruptions related 
to  our  ability  to  source  products,  components  and  raw  materials.    We  have  also  been  experiencing,  and  may 
continue to experience, employee-related cost inflation and constraints in hiring qualified employees. While still 
elevated, we have recently seen some reduction of certain costs, and we aim to offset the potential unfavorable 
impact  of  our  costs  and  lower  demand  for  our  products  with  productivity  improvement,  pricing,  and  other 
initiatives.

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,  2022  versus  December  31,  2021. A  detailed  discussion  of  our 
consolidated, Business Segment and Geographic Area results of operations for the years ended December 31, 
2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 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, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on February 8, 2022.

Net  sales  for  2022  were  $8.7  billion,  which  increased  four  percent  compared  to  2021.  Excluding 

acquisitions, divestitures and the effect of currency translation, net sales increased six percent. 

Net sales for 2022 increased primarily due to:

•

Higher net selling prices across the entire company which increased sales by nine percent.

These amounts were partially offset by:

•
•

Lower sales volume which decreased sales by three percent.
Unfavorable foreign currency translation which decreased sales by two percent.

Plumbing Products

Sales

Net sales in the Plumbing Products segment increased two percent in 2022 due primarily to favorable net 
selling prices, which increased sales by seven percent, and higher international plumbing sales volume which 
increased sales by two percent. These amounts were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation 
which decreased sales by four percent, lower North America plumbing sales volume which decreased sales by 
two percent, and the divestiture of Hüppe which decreased sales by one percent.

Operating Results

Operating  profit  in  the  Plumbing  Products  segment  in  2022  was  negatively  impacted  by  increased 
commodity and transportation costs, higher costs due to production inefficiencies and related under absorption, 
higher  excess  and  obsolete  inventory  charges  resulting  from  business  rationalization  activities,  unfavorable 
foreign  currency  translation,  increased  marketing  costs  and  unfavorable  sales  mix.  These  amounts  were 
partially offset by favorable net selling prices and, to a lesser extent, lower variable compensation.

Decorative Architectural Products

Sales

Net sales in the Decorative Architectural Products segment increased six percent in 2022, primarily due to 
favorable  net  selling  prices  across  the  segment.  These  amounts  were  partially  offset  by  lower  sales  volume 
across the segment.

Operating Results

Operating  profit  in  the  Decorative  Architectural  Products  segment  in  2022  was  negatively  impacted  by 
increased commodity and transportation costs, lower sales volume, higher costs due to production inefficiencies 
and  related  under  absorption,  higher  excess  and  obsolete  inventory  charges  resulting  from  business 
rationalization  activities,  and  increased  marketing  costs. These  amounts  were  partially  offset  by  favorable  net 
selling prices and lower goodwill and other intangible assets impairment charges in our lighting business.

Geographic Area Results Discussion

North America

Sales

North  America  net  sales  increased  five  percent  in  2022.  Favorable  net  selling  prices  across  all  of  our 
product categories increased sales by 10 percent. These amounts were partially offset by lower sales volume, 
which decreased sales by five percent.

Operating Results

North  America  operating  profit  in  2022  was  negatively  impacted  by  increased  commodity  and 
transportation  costs,  lower  sales  volume,  higher  costs  due  to  production  inefficiencies  and  related  under 
absorption, higher excess and obsolete inventory charges resulting from business rationalization activities, and 
increased marketing costs. These amounts were partially offset by favorable net selling prices, and to a lesser 
extent, lower variable compensation and lower goodwill and other intangible assets impairment charges in our 
lighting business. 

International, Principally Europe

Sales

International net sales decreased three percent in 2022. In local currencies (including sales in currencies 
outside their respective functional currencies), net sales increased eight percent. Favorable net selling prices of 
plumbing products increased sales by six percent. Higher sales volume of plumbing products increased sales 
by five percent. These amounts were partially offset by the divestiture of our Hüppe business which decreased 
sales by two percent and unfavorable sales mix which decreased sales by two percent.

Operating Results

International operating profit in 2022 was negatively impacted by increased commodity and transportation 
costs, unfavorable foreign currency translation, wage inflation, and unfavorable sales mix. These amounts were 
partially offset by favorable net selling prices and higher sales volume of plumbing products.

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 relevant dividend.

We had cash and cash investments of approximately $452 million and $926 million at December 31, 2022 
and  2021,  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,  2022  and  2021,  $321  million  and 
$490 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 1.6 to 1 and 1.8 to 1 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in 

our current ratio is primarily due to the 364-day $500 million term loan that we entered into on April 26, 2022.

Our total debt as a percent of total capitalization was 109 percent and 98 percent at December 31, 2022 

and 2021, respectively. Refer to Note L to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

We believe that our present cash balance and cash flows from operations, and borrowing availability under 
our 2022 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 changing market conditions and its impact on our customers and suppliers, 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 to increase our productivity, improve 
customer service and support product innovation. Capital expenditures for 2022 were $224 million, compared 
with $128 million for 2021. The increase in capital expenditures in 2022 was primarily due to capacity expansion 
plans  in  our  Plumbing  Products  and  Decorative  Architectural  Products  segments.  For  2023,  capital 
expenditures,  excluding  any  potential  future  acquisitions,  are  expected  to  be  approximately  $250  million. 
Depreciation and amortization expense for 2022 totaled $145 million, compared with $151 million for 2021. For 
2023,  depreciation  and  amortization  expense,  excluding  any  potential  future  acquisitions,  is  expected  to  be 
approximately  $150  million.  Amortization  expense  totaled  $33  million  in  2022,  compared  with  $40  million  in 
2021.

25

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 statement of operations.

Credit Agreement 

On April  26,  2022,  we  entered  into  a  revolving  credit  agreement  (the  “2022  Credit Agreement”)  with  an 
aggregate  commitment  of  $1.0  billion  and  a  maturity  date  of April  26,  2027.  Upon  entry  into  the  2022  Credit 
Agreement, our credit agreement dated March 13, 2019, as amended, with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 
billion, was terminated.

Under the 2022 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.

The 2022 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) an 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 2022 Credit Agreement at December 31, 2022. As of the date of this report, $69 million was borrowed 
and outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 5.800%.

364-day Term Loan

On April 26, 2022, we entered into a 364-day $500 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan due 
April  26,  2023  with  a  syndicate  of  lenders. The  senior  unsecured  term  loan  and  commitments  thereunder  are 
subject  to  prepayment  or  termination  at  our  option  and  the  loans  will  bear  interest  at  SOFR  plus  a  spread 
adjustment and 0.70%. The covenants, including the financial covenants, are substantially the same as those in 
the 2022 Credit Agreement. We repaid $300 million during 2022.

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 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,  our  Hansgrohe  SE  subsidiary  acquired  a  75.1  percent  equity  interest  in  Easy  Sanitary 
Solutions  B.V.,  a  manufacturer  of  shower  channel  drains  that  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. During 2021, we also acquired all of the share capital 
of  Steamist,  Inc.,  a  manufacturer  of  residential  steam  bath  products  that  are  complementary  to  many  of  our 
plumbing products, for approximately $56 million in cash.

Divestitures

During  2021,  we  completed  the  divestiture  of  Hüppe,  a  manufacturer  of  shower  enclosures  and  shower 
trays.  In  connection  with  the  divestiture,  we  recognized  a  loss  of  $18  million.  During  2022,  we  recorded  a  $2 
million  pre-tax  post-closing  gain  related  to  the  finalization  of  working  capital  items  in  connection  with  the 
divestiture.

26

Share Repurchases

We  repurchased  and  retired  16.6  million  shares  of  our  common  stock  in  2022  for  approximately  $914 
million.  This  included  0.6  million  shares  to  offset  the  dilutive  impact  of  restricted  stock  units  granted  in  2022. 
Effective October 20, 2022, 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  2021. At  December  31,  2022,  we  had  $2.0  billion  remaining  under  the 
2022  authorization.  Consistent  with  past  practice  and  as  part  of  our  long-term  capital  allocation  strategy,  we 
anticipate  using  approximately  $500  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 
2023. Refer to Note O to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

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 during the year), for approximately $1,026 
million. 

Dividend to holders of our Common Shares

We paid a quarterly dividend of $0.28 per common share for an annual dividend of $1.12 per share. 

As part of our capital allocation strategy, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.285 per 

share in the first quarter of 2023 with the intention to increase the annual dividend to $1.14 per share.

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 $29 million and $43 million at December 31, 
2022 and 2021, respectively. We account for all payments made under the program as a reduction to our cash 
flows from operations and reported within our (decrease) increase 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 $188 million and $220 million for our continuing operations during 2022 
and  2021,  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 sterling, 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 $840 million primarily benefited from operating profit, partially offset by 

changes in working capital, primarily lower accounts payable and accrued liabilities balances.

Financing Activities

Net cash used for financing activities was $1,066 million, primarily due to $914 million for the repurchase 
and  retirement  of  our  common  stock  (including  0.6  million  shares  repurchased  to  offset  the  dilutive  impact  of 
restricted  stock  units  granted  in  2022),  $300  million  for  the  partial  payment  of  the  364-day  term  loan,  $258 
million  for  the  payment  of  cash  dividends,  $68  million  for  dividends  paid  to  noncontrolling  interest  and  $17 
million  for  employee  withholding  taxes  paid  on  stock-based  compensation. These  uses  of  cash  were  partially 
offset by $500 million in proceeds from the 364-day term loan.

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

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. 

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. 

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 1.3 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively, in 2023, and 2.0 percent 
and 1.5 percent, respectively, per annum over the remainder of the five-year forecast. 

We utilize our weighted average cost of capital of approximately 8.75 percent as the basis to determine the 
discount  rate  to  apply  to  the  estimated  future  cash  flows.  In  2022,  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 10.25 
percent to 12.75 percent for our reporting units.

30

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 2022, we recognized a $19 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to 
a  reporting  unit  within  our  Decorative  Architectural  Products  segment  due  to  competitive  market  conditions, 
higher inflationary costs and increased cost of capital in our lighting business. There is no remaining goodwill 
associated  with  the  impaired  reporting  unit.    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 8.75 percent as the basis to determine the 
discount  rate  to  apply  to  the  estimated  future  cash  flows.  In  2022,  based  upon  our  assessment  of  the  risks 
impacting each of our businesses and the nature of the other indefinite-lived intangible assets (i.e., trade name), 
we  applied  a  risk  premium  to  increase  the  discount  rate  to  a  range  of  11.25  percent  to  13.75  percent  for  our 
other indefinite-lived intangible assets.

If the carrying amount of an other indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss 
is recognized to the extent that an other indefinite-lived intangible asset's recorded carrying value exceeds its 
fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of the other indefinite-lived intangible asset.

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  2022,  we  recognized  a  $7  million  non-cash  impairment  charge  related  to  a 
registered trademark within our Decorative Architectural Products segment due to competitive market conditions 
and increased cost of capital in our lighting business.  As of December 31, 2022, the impaired other indefinite-
lived intangible asset had a remaining net carrying value of $43 million. 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

We record deferred taxes on the future tax consequences of differences between the financial statement 
carrying value of our assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. The realization of deferred tax assets 
depends on sufficient sources of 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 and projected future taxable 
income.

If, based upon all available evidence, both positive and negative, it is more likely than not such deferred 
tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. Significant weight is given to evidence that is 
objectively  verifiable  such  as  cumulative  losses  in  recent  years,  however,  some  evidence  may  be  based  on 
estimates and assumptions regarding potential sources of future taxable income. Changes in these estimates 
and assumptions may result in a change in judgment regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets.

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  sterling,  Canadian  dollar, 
Chinese renminbi, and Mexican peso, 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, 2022, 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.

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,  2022 
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, 2022.

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, 2022, 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, 2022 and expressed an unqualified opinion on our 
2022  consolidated  financial  statements.  This  report  is  included  herein  under  the  heading  "Report  of 
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm."

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,  2022  and  2021,  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,  2022,  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,  2022,  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, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its 
cash  flows  for  each  of  the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  December  31,  2022  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,  2022,  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 

34

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  $537  million  as  of  December  31,  2022.  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 
$19  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;  and  (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, as applicable.      

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  related  to  forecasted  sales,  as 
applicable. Evaluating management’s assumptions 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 it relates to forecasted sales, and (iii) whether they 
were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

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  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, 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 credit losses 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 credit losses) of $53 million and $67 million at 
December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 $112 million in 2022, $111 million in 
2021 and $105 million in 2020. 

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 sheets.

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 discount 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.

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  consolidated 
balance sheets; 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,  is  
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 2022, we utilized a weighted average cost of capital of 
approximately  8.75  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 10.25 percent to 12.75 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  8.75  percent  as  the  basis  to 
determine the discount rate to apply to the estimated future cash flows. In 2022, based upon our assessment of 
the  risks  impacting  each  of  our  businesses  and  the  nature  of  the  other  indefinite-lived  intangible  asset  (i.e., 
trade  name),  we  applied  a  risk  premium  to  increase  the  discount  rate  to  a  range  of  11.25  percent  to  13.75 
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.

Acquisitions.        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, or refunds 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.

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 restricted stock units ("RSUs"), 
performance  restricted  stock  units  ("PRSUs"),  stock  options,  long-term  stock  awards  and  phantom  stock 
awards.

We  measure  compensation  expense  for  RSUs  and  long-term  stock  awards  at  the  market  price  of  our 
common stock at the grant date. We measure compensation expense for PRSUs at the expected payout of the 
awards.  We measure compensation expense for stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. We 
recognize forfeitures related to RSUs, PRSUs, stock options and long-term stock awards 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 Compensation and Talent 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 RSUs, stock options 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  long-term  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, 2022 and 2021. 
The aggregate noncontrolling interest, net of dividends, at December 31, 2022 and 2021 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.

Income  Taxes.        We  record  deferred  taxes  on  the  future  tax  consequences  of  differences  between  the 
financial statement carrying value of our assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. The realization of 
deferred  tax  assets  depends  on  sufficient  sources  of  taxable  income  in  future  periods.  If,  based  upon  all 
available  evidence,  both  positive  and  negative,  it  is  more  likely  than  not  our  deferred  tax  assets  will  not  be 
realized, a valuation allowance is recorded.

We only recognize the tax benefits from income tax positions that have a greater than 50 percent likelihood 
of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. A liability is recorded for uncertain tax positions 
where  it  is  more  likely  than  not  the  position  may  not  be  sustained  based  on  its  technical  merits.  We  record 
interest and penalties on our uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

We  record  the  tax  effects  of  Global  Intangible  Low-taxed  Income  related  to  our  foreign  operations,  if 

applicable, as a component of income tax expense in the period the tax arises.

We  allocate  our  provision  for  income  taxes  between  continuing  operations  and  other  categories  of 
earnings. 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.  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  our  various  qualified  domestic  defined-benefit  pension  plans 
were eliminated from accumulated other comprehensive income at the termination of the related pension plans 
in 2021. The disproportionate tax effect relating to our interest rate swap hedge, which was terminated in 2012, 
was eliminated from accumulated other comprehensive income upon the early retirement of the related debt in 
March 2021.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.    In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards 
Board ("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 adopted this standard for annual periods beginning January 1, 2022. The adoption of this 
new standard did not impact 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 adopted this standard for annual periods beginning 
January 1, 2022. The adoption of this new standard did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.    In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, 
"Liabilities  –  Supplier  Finance  Programs  (Subtopic  405-50):  Disclosure  of  Supplier  Finance  Program 
Obligations,” which requires that an entity that uses a supplier finance program in connection with the purchase 
of goods or services disclose information about the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from 
period to period, and potential magnitude. ASU 2022-04 is effective for annual periods on a retrospective basis, 
including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning January 1, 2023, except for the amendment on 
rollforward  information,  which  is  effective  prospectively  for  annual  periods  beginning  January  1,  2024.  The 
adoption  of  this  guidance  will  modify  our  disclosures,  but  will  not  have  a  material  impact  on  our  financial

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.  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. 
Working capital and other adjustments were finalized with the seller in the fourth quarter of 2021, resulting in no 
significant changes.

In the first quarter of 2021, our Hansgrohe SE subsidiary 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 that 
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 
Hansgrohe SE 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 sheets. We elected to adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interest to its full redemption 
amount directly into retained deficit.

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 our 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 was 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  our  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 
as it is compatible with showerheads, hand showers, spouts and shower jets. This business is included in our 
Plumbing  Products  segment.  In  connection  with  this  acquisition,  we  recognized  $10  million  of  definite-lived 
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  statement  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. During the first quarter of 2022, we 
recorded a $2 million pre-tax post-closing gain related to the finalization of working capital items in other, net in 
our consolidated statement of operations. The sale of Hüppe did 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  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. 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  statement  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 ACProducts Holding, Inc., a holding company of 
the buyer; refer to Note R 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  statement  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  recognized  increases  to  revenue  of  $20  million,  $9  million,  and  $7  million  in  2022,  2021,  and  2020, 

respectively, for variable consideration related to performance obligations settled in previous periods.

We record contract assets for items for which we have satisfied our performance obligation but our receipt 
of  payment  is  contingent  upon  delivery  or  other  circumstances  other  than  the  passage  of  time.  Our  contract 
assets  are  recorded  in  prepaid  expenses  and  other  in  our  consolidated  balance  sheets.  Our  contract  assets 
generally become unconditional and are reclassified to receivables in the quarter subsequent to each balance 
sheet date. Our contract asset balance was $1 million at both December 31, 2022 and 2021.

We record contract liabilities primarily for deferred revenue. Our contract liabilities are recorded in accrued 
liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Our contract liabilities are generally recognized to net sales in the 
immediately  subsequent  reporting  period.  Our  contract  liability  balance  was  $61  million  and  $67  million  at 
December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

H. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Concluded)

MASCO CORPORATION

Other  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  were  $102  million  and  $109  million  at  December  31,  2022  and 

2021, respectively, and principally included registered trademarks. 

We completed our annual impairment testing of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the 
fourth  quarters  of  2022,  2021  and  2020.  We  recognized  a  $19  million  and  $7  million  non-cash  impairment 
charge  within  our  Decorative  Architectural  Products  segment  to  goodwill  and  other  indefinite-lived  intangible 
assets, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2022 due to competitive market conditions, higher inflationary costs 
and  increased  cost  of  capital  in  our  lighting  business.  We  recognized  a  $45  million  non-cash  goodwill 
impairment  charge  within  our  Decorative Architectural  Products  segment  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2021,  due  to 
competitive market conditions and higher inflationary costs in our lighting business. There was no impairment of 
goodwill  for  any  of  our  reporting  units  or  of  our  other  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  in  any  of  these  years, 
other than as disclosed above.

The carrying value of our definite-lived intangible assets was $248 million (net of accumulated amortization 
of  $94  million)  at  December  31,  2022  and  $279  million  (net  of  accumulated  amortization  of  $75  million)  at 
December  31,  2021  and  principally  included  customer  relationships  with  a  weighted  average  amortization 
period of 15 years in both 2022 and 2021. Amortization expense, including discontinued operations, related to 
the  definite-lived  intangible  assets  was  $29  million,  $31  million  and  $24  million  in  2022,  2021  and  2020, 
respectively. 

At December 31, 2022, amortization expense related to the definite-lived intangible assets during each of 
the next five years will be as follows: 2023 – $28 million; 2024 – $27 million; 2025 – $23 million, 2026 – $21 
million and 2027 – $21 million.

I. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Kraus Acquisition Contingent Consideration.   As described in Note B, an additional cash payment of 
up  to  $50  million  related  to  the  Kraus  acquisition  was  contingent  upon  the  achievement  of  certain  financial 
performance  metrics  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022.  The  measurement  of  the  liability  for  contingent 
consideration  was  based  on  significant  inputs  that  were  not  observable  in  the  market,  and  were  therefore 
classified  as  Level  3  inputs.  Examples  of  utilized  unobservable  inputs  were  estimated  future  revenues  and 
earnings  of  the  acquired  business  and  an  applicable  discount  rate.  The  estimate  of  the  liability  fluctuated  for 
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 were recorded in other, net in the 
consolidated statements of operations, as described in Note R. The financial performance metrics were not met 
and the fair value of the liability was nil as of December 31, 2022. The fair value of the liability was estimated to 
be $24 million as of December 31, 2021, using probability weighted discounted cash flows and a discount rate 
that  reflected  the  uncertainty  surrounding  the  expected  outcomes,  which  we  believe  was  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 364-day 
term loan has an interest rate that resets monthly and the fair value of this instrument approximates the carrying 
value  at  December  31,  2022. The  aggregate  estimated  market  value  of  our  short-term  and  long-term  debt  at 
December 31, 2022 was approximately $2.7 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.2 billion. 
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.

On April  26,  2022,  we  entered  into  a  revolving  credit  agreement  (the  “2022  Credit Agreement”)  with  an 
aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion and a maturity date of April 26, 2027. Under the 2022 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  2022  Credit Agreement,  our  credit 
agreement dated March 13, 2019, as amended, with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion, was terminated.

The 2022 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 the equivalent of 
$500  million.  We  can  also  borrow  swingline  loans  up  to  $125  million  and  obtain  letters  of  credit  of  up  to  $25 
million.  Outstanding  letters  of  credit  under  the  2022  Credit Agreement  reduce  our  borrowing  capacity  and  we 
had no outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2022.

limitations  on  subsidiary  debt,  negative  pledge  restrictions,  and  requirements  relating  to  legal  compliance, 
maintenance  of  our  properties  and  insurance)  and  our  representations  and  warranties  in  the  2022  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, 2021, 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,  2022.  As  of  the  date  of  this  report,  $69  million  was 
borrowed and outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 5.800%.

On April 26, 2022, we entered into a 364-day $500 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan due 
April  26,  2023  with  a  syndicate  of  lenders. The  senior  unsecured  term  loan  and  commitments  thereunder  are 
subject  to  prepayment  or  termination  at  our  option  and  the  loans  will  bear  interest  at  SOFR  plus  a  spread 
adjustment and 0.70%. The covenants, including the financial covenants, are substantially the same as those in 
the 2022 Credit Agreement. We repaid $300 million during 2022.

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 for 
the year ended December 31, 2021, which was recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statement 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 
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.

M. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Our  2014  Long  Term  Stock  Incentive  Plan  (the  "2014  Plan")  provides  for  the  issuance  of  stock-based 
incentives in various forms to our employees and non-employee Directors. At December 31, 2022, outstanding 
stock-based  incentives  were  in  the  form  of  restricted  stock  units,  performance  restricted  stock  units,  stock 
options, long-term stock awards and phantom stock awards.

Pre-tax  compensation  expense  included  in  income  from  continuing  operations  for  these  stock-based 

incentives was as follows, in millions:

At December 31, 2022, 11.7 million shares of our common stock were available under the 2014 Plan for 
the  granting  of  restricted  stock  units,  performance  restricted  stock  units,  stock  options  and  long-term  stock 
awards.

Restricted  Stock  Units.        Restricted  stock  units  are  granted  to  our  key  employees  and  non-employee 
Directors.  These  grants  did  not  cause  net  share  dilution  due  to  our  practice  of  repurchasing  and  retiring  an 
equal number of shares in the open market.

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  2022,  we  granted  approximately  92,000  performance  restricted  stock  units  with  a  grant  date  fair 
value of approximately $55 per share, approximately 168,000 performance restricted stock units were issued. 
No performance restricted stock units were forfeited. At December 31, 2022, there were approximately 255,000 
shares vested but unissued. During 2021, we granted approximately 85,000 performance restricted stock units 
with a grant date fair value of approximately $53 per share, approximately 105,000 performance restricted stock 
units were issued and no performance restricted stock units were forfeited. At December 31, 2021, there were 
approximately  186,000  shares  vested  but  unissued.  During  2020,  we  granted  approximately  133,000 
performance  restricted  stock  units  with  a  grant  date  fair  value  of  approximately  $34  per  share,  approximately 
152,000 performance restricted stock units were issued and approximately 11,000 performance restricted stock 
units were forfeited. At December 31, 2020, there were approximately 103,000 shares vested but unissued. 

Stock  Options.        Stock  options  are  granted  to  certain  key  employees.  The  exercise  price  equals  the 
market price of our common stock at the grant date and the stock options expire no later than 10 years after the 
grant date.

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 $1 million of pre-tax net loss from accumulated other comprehensive income into 
net periodic pension cost in 2023 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  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 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, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021.

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. Other investments include liability-
driven investments in interest rate swap funds that are priced daily based on the use of observable inputs. 

Corporate, Government and Other Debt Securities: Valued based on 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. 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.

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.

plans were as follows:

At December 31,

2020

Discount rate for obligations  .................................................................
Expected return on plan assets     ...........................................................

 2.00 %

 — %

 2.50 %

The discount rate for obligations for 2022, 2021 and 2020 is based primarily upon the expected duration of 
each defined-benefit pension plan's liabilities matched to the December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 Willis Towers 
Watson Rate Link Curve. At December 31, 2022, such rates for our defined-benefit pension plans ranged from 
0.8 percent to 5.3 percent, with the most significant portion of the liabilities having a discount rate for obligations 
of 3.7 percent or higher. 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.  The  increase  in  the  weighted  average  discount  rate  from  2021  to  2022  and  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. 

Our weighted average projected long-term rate of return on plan assets for the foreign qualified defined-

benefit pension plans was 4.5 percent, 3.0 percent and 2.9 percent for 2022, 2021 and 2020, 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.

N. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS (Concluded)

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 $7 million and $9 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Cash Flows.    At December 31, 2022, we expect to contribute approximately $12 million in 2023 to our 

non-qualified (domestic) defined-benefit pension plans.

At December 31, 2022, the benefits expected to be paid in each of the next five years, and in aggregate for 

the five years thereafter, relating to our defined-benefit pension plans, were as follows, in millions:

 During 2022, we repurchased and retired 16.6 million shares of our common stock (including 0.6 million 
shares to offset the dilutive impact of restricted stock units granted in 2022), for cash aggregating $914 million. 
Effective October 20, 2022, 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  2021. At  December  31,  2022,  we  had  $2.0  billion  remaining  under  the 
2022 authorization.

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. 

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.  

On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share were $1.120 ($1.120) in 2022,

S. INCOME TAXES (Continued)

We continue to maintain a valuation allowance of $15 million and $17 million on certain state and foreign 
deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, due primarily to cumulative loss positions 
in  those  jurisdictions.  We  recorded  a  $5  million  income  tax  benefit  in  2020  due  to  changes  in  judgment 
regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions.

Our  capital  allocation  strategy  includes  reinvesting  in  our  business,  balancing  share  repurchases  with 
potential acquisitions and maintaining a relevant 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  $32  million  and  $37  million  deferred  tax  assets  related  to  the  net  operating  loss  and  tax  credit 
carryforwards at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, $20 million and $25 million, respectively, will expire 
within approximately 15 years and $12 million, for both years, 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:

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  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.

Income taxes paid were $281 million, $246 million and $442 million in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

If recognized, $66 million and $64 million of the liability for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2022 

and 2021, respectively, net of any U.S. Federal tax benefit, would impact our effective tax rate.

Interest and penalties recognized in income tax expense were insignificant in years ended December 31, 

2022, 2021 and 2020.

Of  the  $94  million  and  $92  million  total  liability  for  uncertain  tax  positions  (including  related  interest  and 
penalties)  at  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  respectively,  $92  million  and  $88  million  are  recorded  in  other 
liabilities, respectively, and $2 million and $4 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  2021.  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 $13 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.  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,  2022,  2021  and  2020,  we  allocated  dividends  and  undistributed  earnings  to  the  participating 
securities.

The  following  stock  options,  restricted  stock  units  and  performance  restricted  stock  units  were  excluded 
from the computation of weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding due to their anti-dilutive effect, in 
thousands:

T. INCOME PER COMMON SHARE (Concluded)

Common shares outstanding included on our balance sheet and for the calculation of income per common 
share do not include unvested stock awards (273,000 and 608,000 common shares at December 31, 2022 and 
2021,  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:  advertising,  competition,  contract,  data  privacy,  employment,  environmental,  insurance  coverage, 
intellectual property, personal injury, product compliance, product liability, securities and warranty.   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.

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.

DUPLICATE MAILINGS AND OTHER INQUIRIES 
Multiple shareholders residing at one address and

This “householding” procedure reduces duplicate 
mailings and Company expenses. Shareholders who 
wish to opt out of householding should contact their 
bank or broker.

Shares owned by one person, but held in different 
forms of the same name, may result in duplicate 
mailings of shareholder information at added 
expense to us. Please notify Computershare to 
eliminate such duplication.
