MASCO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to fairly state our financial position at September 30, 2018, our results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, and cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Reclassification. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements. 

Income Tax Effects within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The accounting guidance for income taxes requires us to allocate our provision for income taxes between continuing operations and other categories of earnings, such as other comprehensive income (loss). Subsequent adjustments to deferred taxes originally recorded to other comprehensive income (loss) may reverse in a different category of earnings, such as continuing operations, resulting in a disproportionate tax effect within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Generally, a disproportionate tax effect will be eliminated and recognized in income tax expense (benefit) when the circumstances upon which it is premised cease to exist.
    
The disproportionate tax effect related to various defined-benefit pension plans will be eliminated from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at the termination of the related pension plans. The disproportionate tax effect relating to our interest rate swap hedge, which was terminated in 2012, will be eliminated from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) upon the maturity of the related debt in March 2022.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new standard for revenue recognition, Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606. The purpose of ASC 606 is to provide a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability across industries. We adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, under the full retrospective method of adoption. As a result of this adoption, net sales increased by $9 million and $19 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and operating profit (and income before income taxes) increased by $7 million and $11 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, from what was previously reported. For full year 2017 and 2016, net sales decreased by $2 million and increased by $4 million, respectively, and operating profit (and income before income taxes) decreased by $1 million and increased by $2 million, respectively, from what was previously reported. We additionally have recasted our previously reported segment operating results at the end of this section.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. We adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory," which no longer allows the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers (intercompany sales) of assets other than inventory to be deferred until the transferred asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use. The new standard requires the tax expense from the sale of the asset in the seller's tax jurisdiction and the corresponding basis differences in the buyer's jurisdiction to be recognized when the transfer occurs even though the pre-tax effects of the transaction are eliminated in consolidation. We adopted ASU 2016-16 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

MASCO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)


A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost," which modifies the presentation of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit cost ("net benefit cost") in the income statement and the components eligible for capitalization as assets. ASU 2017-07 requires retrospective application for certain aspects of the standard. We adopted ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2018. As a result of the adoption, we reclassified $7 million and $22 million of net benefit cost from operating profit to other income (expense), net, within our results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively. For full year 2017 and 2016, we reclassified $26 million and $32 million, respectively, of net benefit cost from operating profit to other income (expense), net, within our results of operations. We additionally have recasted our previously reported segment operating results at the end of this section. The adoption of the standard did not impact income before income taxes.
    
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting," which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. We adopted ASU 2017-09 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not impact our financial position or results of operations; however, modification accounting is now required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which permits a company to reclassify from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings the disproportionate tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“2017 Act”). We early adopted ASU 2018-02 on March 31, 2018. As a result of the adoption, in the first quarter of 2018 we decreased accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and increased retained earnings (deficit) by the $59 million disproportionate tax effect caused by the 2017 Act.
    
Impact of Adoption of ASC 606 and ASU 2017-07. The recasted impact of the adoptions of ASC 606 and ASU 2017-07 to our previously reported operating results and basic and diluted income per share was as follows, in millions (except per common share data):

A. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Concluded)
    
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard for leases, ASC 842, which changes the accounting model for identifying and accounting for leases. ASC 842 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019. We currently anticipate adopting the new standard using the optional transition method which allows for initial application of the new standard beginning at the adoption date. We expect this standard to increase our total assets and total liabilities; however, we are currently evaluating the magnitude of the impact. We do not expect the standard to have a material impact on our results of operations. In preparation for the adoption of the standard, we have procured a third-party software to track and manage our leases, substantially loaded lease data into the software, and trained our business units on the new standard and the use of the software.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which modifies the methodology for recognizing loss impairments on certain types of financial instruments, including receivables. The new methodology requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of an exposure. Additionally, ASU 2016-13 amends the current available-for-sale security other-than-temporary impairment model for debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," which improves and simplifies accounting rules around hedge accounting and better portrays the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019. We do not expect the adoption of the standard will impact our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting," which modifies the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees to largely align it with the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees. ASU 2018-07 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019. We do not expect the adoption of the standard will impact our financial position or results of operations.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract," which allows for the capitalization of certain implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 allows for either retrospective adoption or prospective adoption to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. ASU 2018-15 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this new standard will have on our financial position and results of operations.

B. ACQUISITIONS

On March 9, 2018, we acquired substantially all of the net assets of The L.D. Kichler Co. ("Kichler"), a leader in decorative residential and light commercial lighting products, ceiling fans and LED lighting systems. This business expands our product offerings to our customers. The results of this acquisition for the period from the acquisition date are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements and are reported in the Decorative Architectural Products segment. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, we recorded $104 million and $239 million, respectively, of net sales as a result of this acquisition. The purchase price, net of $2 million cash acquired, consisted of $549 million paid with cash on hand.
    
During the second and third quarters of 2018, we revised the allocation of the purchase price to identifiable assets and liabilities based on analysis of information as of the acquisition date that has been made available through September 30, 2018.  Receipt of additional information to complete such analysis and finalization of the valuation is still in process, and, as a result, the allocation will continue to be updated through the measurement period, if necessary. The preliminary allocation of the fair value of the acquisition of Kichler is summarized in the following table, in millions.

The goodwill acquired, which is generally tax deductible, is related primarily to the operational and financial synergies we expect to derive from combining Kichler's operations into our business, as well as the assembled workforce. The other intangible assets acquired consist of $59 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets, which is related to trademarks, and $181 million of definite-lived intangible assets. The definite-lived intangible assets consist of $145 million related to customer relationships, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 20 years, and $36 million of other definite-lived intangible assets, which is being amortized over a weighted average amortization period of 3 years.

C. DIVESTITURES

In the second quarter of 2017 we divested of Arrow Fastener Co., LLC ("Arrow"), a manufacturer and distributor of fastening tools, for proceeds of $128 million. In connection with the divestiture we recognized a gain of $2 million and $51 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, included in other, net, within other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. The results of this business are included within income before income taxes in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and reported as part of our Windows and Other Specialty Products segment prior to the date of the divestiture.

D. REVENUE

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, or when services are completed. Control over certain of our custom-made window products transfers to our customers as production is completed, and revenue is recognized over the production period for these products, as our products do not have an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment during the production period. The production period of our custom-made window products generally does not lapse days, and for these products we currently recognize revenue based on the output of production, which is a faithful depiction of the transfer of these products to our customers. Our customers' payment terms generally range from 30 to 65 days of fulfilling our performance obligations and recognizing revenue.

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.

Our revenues are derived primarily from sales to customers in North America and Internationally, principally Europe. Net sales from these geographic markets, by segment, were as follows, in millions:

We provide customer programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing and co-operative advertising arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives. These customer programs and incentives are considered variable consideration. We include in revenue variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the variable consideration is resolved. This determination is made based upon known customer program and incentive offerings at the time of sale, and expected sales volume forecasts as it relates to our volume-based incentives. This determination is updated each reporting period. We recognized an increase to revenue of $2 million and $4 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, and $4 million and $7 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, of variable consideration related to performance obligations settled in previous periods.
    
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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 condensed 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 $15 million and $11 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
    
We record contract liabilities primarily for deferred revenue. Our contract liabilities are recorded in accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our contract liabilities are generally recognized to net sales in the immediately subsequent reporting period. Our contract liability balance was $18 million and $32 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

E. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
 
Depreciation and amortization expense was $115 million and $95 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The carrying value of our other indefinite-lived intangible assets was $199 million and $140 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and principally included registered trademarks. The carrying value of our definite-lived intangible assets was $213 million (net of accumulated amortization of $24 million) and $47 million (net of accumulated amortization of $10 million) at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and principally included customer relationships. The increases in our indefinite-lived intangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets are primarily a result of our acquisition of Kichler.

G. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
 
We are exposed to global market risk as part of our normal, daily business activities. To manage these risks, we enter into various derivative contracts. These contracts may include interest rate swap agreements and foreign currency contracts. We review our hedging program, derivative positions and overall risk management on a regular basis.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements. In 2012, in connection with the issuance of $400 million of debt, we terminated the interest rate swap hedge relationships that we had entered into in 2011. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and effectively fixed interest rates on the forecasted debt issuance to variable rates based on 3-month LIBOR. Upon termination, the ineffective portion of the cash flow hedges of an approximate $2 million loss was recognized in our consolidated statement of operations in other, net, within other income (expense), net. The remaining loss of approximately $23 million from the termination of these swaps is being amortized as an increase to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt, through March 2022. At September 30, 2018, the balance remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $7 million (pre-tax).

G. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Concluded)

Foreign Currency Contracts. Our net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates arise from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, and investments in subsidiaries. To mitigate this risk, we, including certain of our European operations, enter into foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency exchange contracts.
    
Gains (losses) related to foreign currency forward and exchange contracts are recorded in our condensed consolidated statement of operations in other income (expense), net. In the event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the foreign currency forward or exchange contracts, our exposure is limited to the aggregate foreign currency rate differential with such institutions.

I. DEBT
    
On April 16, 2018, we repaid and retired all of our $114 million, 6.625% Notes on the scheduled repayment date.    

On June 21, 2017, we issued $300 million of 3.5% Notes due November 15, 2027 and $300 million of 4.5% Notes due May 15, 2047. We received proceeds of $599 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 June 27, 2017, proceeds from the debt issuances, together with cash on hand, were used to repay and early retire $299 million of our 7.125% Notes due March 15, 2020, $74 million of our 5.95% Notes due March 15, 2022, $62 million of our 7.75% Notes due August 1, 2029, and $100 million of our 6.5% Notes due August 15, 2032. In connection with these early retirements, we incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $107 million, which was recorded as interest expense.

On March 28, 2013, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a bank group, with an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion and a maturity date of March 28, 2018. On May 29, 2015 and August 28, 2015, we amended the Credit Agreement with the bank group (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The Amended Credit Agreement reduces the aggregate commitment to $750 million and extends the maturity date to May 29, 2020.  Under the Amended Credit Agreement, at our request and subject to certain conditions, we can increase the aggregate commitment up to an additional $375 million with the current bank group or new lenders.

The Amended Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility available to us and one of our foreign subsidiaries, in U.S. dollars, European euros and certain other currencies. Borrowings under the revolver denominated in euros are limited to $500 million, equivalent. We can also borrow swingline loans up to $75 million and obtain letters of credit of up to $100 million; outstanding letters of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement reduce our borrowing capacity. At September 30, 2018, we had no outstanding standby letters of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement.

Revolving credit loans bear interest under the Amended Credit Agreement, at our option, at (A) a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) LIBOR plus 1.0% (the "Alternative Base Rate"); plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings; or (B) LIBOR plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. The foreign currency revolving credit loans bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain (A) a maximum net leverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, of 4.0 to 1.0, and (B) a minimum interest coverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, equal to or greater than 2.5 to 1.0.

I. DEBT (Concluded)

In order for us to borrow under the Amended Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in our covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement (i.e., in addition to the two financial covenants, principally limitations on subsidiary debt, negative pledge restrictions, legal compliance requirements and maintenance of properties and insurance) and our representations and warranties in the Amended Credit Agreement must be true in all material respects on the date of borrowing (i.e., principally no material adverse change or litigation likely to result in a material adverse change, since December 31, 2014, in each case, 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 September 30, 2018. 

Fair Value of Debt. The fair value of our short-term and long-term fixed-rate debt instruments is based principally upon modeled market prices for the same or similar issues, which are Level 1 inputs. The aggregate estimated market value was approximately $3.0 billion at September 30, 2018, which equaled the aggregate carrying value of short-term and long-term debt at that date. The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt was approximately $3.3 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.1 billion, at December 31, 2017.

J. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
Our 2014 Long Term Stock Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of stock-based incentives in various forms to our employees and non-employee Directors. At September 30, 2018, outstanding stock-based incentives were in the form of long-term stock awards, stock options, restricted stock units, phantom stock awards and stock appreciation rights.    

Pre-tax compensation expense for these stock-based incentives was as follows, in millions:

Long-Term Stock Awards. Long-term stock awards are granted to our key employees and non-employee Directors and do not cause net share dilution inasmuch as we continue the practice of repurchasing and retiring an equal number of shares in the open market. We granted 644,580 shares of long-term stock awards in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.

At both September 30, 2018 and 2017, there was $50 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock awards; such awards had a weighted average remaining vesting period of three years at both September 30, 2018 and 2017.
    
The total market value (at the vesting date) of stock award shares which vested during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $56 million and $45 million, respectively.

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. These options generally become exercisable (vest ratably) over five years beginning on the first anniversary from the date of grant and expire no later than 10 years after the grant date.

We granted 385,220 shares of stock options in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 with a grant date weighted average exercise price of approximately $42 per share. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, 68,927 shares of stock options were forfeited (including options that expired unexercised).
