JELD-WEN HOLDING, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Description of Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business – JELD-WEN Holding, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, is a vertically integrated global manufacturer and distributor of windows, doors, and other building products that derives substantially all its revenues from the sale of its door and window products. Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, all references in these notes to “JELD-WEN,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” are to JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Our continuing operations include facilities located in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Mexico. Our products are marketed primarily under the JELD-WEN brand name in the U.S. and Canada and under JELD-WEN and a variety of acquired brand names in Europe.

Our revenues are affected by the level of new housing starts and remodeling activity in each of our markets. Our sales typically follow seasonal new construction and repair and remodeling industry patterns. The peak season for home construction and remodeling in many of our markets generally corresponds with the second and third calendar quarters, and therefore, sales volume is typically higher during those quarters. Our first and fourth quarter sales volumes are generally lower due to reduced repair and remodeling activity and reduced activity in the building and construction industry as a result of colder and more inclement weather in certain areas of our geographic end markets.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of July 1, 2023 and for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 and June 25, 2022, respectively, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position for the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or any other period. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

On April 17, 2023, we entered into a Share Sale Agreement with Aristotle Holding III Pty Limited, a subsidiary of Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, to sell our Australasia business (“JW Australia”). As of July 1, 2023, the sale had not yet closed and the net assets and operations of the disposal group met the criteria to be classified as “discontinued operations” and are reported as such in all periods presented unless otherwise noted. The consolidated statements of cash flows include cash flows from discontinued operations. See Note 2 - Discontinued Operations for further information.

All U.S. dollar and other currency amounts, except per share amounts, are presented in thousands unless otherwise noted.

Fiscal Year – We operate on a fiscal calendar year, and each interim quarter is comprised of two 4-week periods and one 5-week period, with each week ending on a Saturday. Our fiscal year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. As a result, our first and fourth quarters may have more or fewer days included than a traditional 91-day fiscal quarter.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and allocations that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. Significant items that are subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, long-lived assets including goodwill and other intangible assets, employee benefit obligations, income tax uncertainties, contingent assets and liabilities, provisions for bad debt, inventory, warranty liabilities, legal claims, valuation of derivatives, environmental remediation, and claims relating to self-insurance. Actual results could differ due to the uncertainty inherent in the nature of these estimates.

COVID-19 – The CARES Act in the U.S. and similar legislation in other jurisdictions includes measures that assisted companies in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures consisted primarily of cash assistance to support employment levels and deferment of remittance of certain non-income tax expense payments. The most significant impact was from the CARES Act in the U.S., which included a provision that allowed employers to defer the remittance of the employer portion of the social security tax relating to 2020. The deferred employment payment must be paid over two years. Original payment due dates were in 2021 and 2022, however updated guidance provided by the Internal Revenue Service in December 2021 allowed for these payments to be made during 2022 and 2023. The Company deferred $20.9

million of the employer portion of social security tax in 2020, of which $9.9 million was paid in the first quarter of 2022 and the remaining $11.0 million was paid in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Recent Accounting Standards – In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of LIBOR or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, to clarify the scope of ASU No. 2020-04. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extended the relief provisions under Topic 848 through December 31, 2024. In May 2020, we elected the expedient within ASC 848 which allows us to assume that our hedged interest payments are probable of occurring regardless of any expected modifications in their terms related to reference rate reform. In addition, ASC 848 allows for the option to change the method of assessing effectiveness upon a change in critical terms of the derivative or the hedged transactions and upon the end of relief under ASC 848. At this time, we have elected to continue the method of assessing effectiveness as documented in the original hedge documentation and apply the practical expedients related to probability to assume that the reference rate on the hypothetical derivative matches the reference rate on the hedging instrument. In June 2023, we executed amendments to our interest rate derivative agreements to replace LIBOR with a Term SOFR based rate. In connection with this contract amendment, the Company adopted ASU 2020-04 (as updated by ASU 2022-06) in the three months ended July 1, 2023. The amendment to the Company’s interest rate derivative agreements and the adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 19 - Derivative Financial Instruments for additional disclosure information relating to our hedging activity.

We have considered the applicability and impact of all ASUs. We have assessed ASUs not listed above and have determined that they were either not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 2. Discontinued Operations

On April 17, 2023, we entered into a Share Sale Agreement with Aristotle Holding III Pty Limited, a subsidiary of Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, to sell our Australasia business (“JW Australia”), for a purchase price of approximately AUD $688 million. On the first day of the third quarter, July 2, 2023, we completed the sale, receiving net cash proceeds of approximately $446 million. See Note 23 - Subsequent Events for additional information.

This divestiture qualified as a discontinued operation as of April 17, 2023 since it represents a strategic shift for us and has a major effect on our consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, the results of operations for the JW Australia reportable segment, together with certain costs related to the sale, have been classified as discontinued operations within the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

Subsequent to the completion of the sale, we expect to provide certain transition services to JW Australia for applicable fees.

The following is a summary of the major categories of assets and liabilities of JW Australia at:


(amounts in thousands)	July 1, 2023		December 31, 2022

During the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, we incurred approximately $1.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of costs related to the sale of JW Australia that are reflected within income from discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations.

The cash flows related to discontinued operations have not been segregated and are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table presents cash flow and non-cash information related to discontinued operations:


	Six Months Ended

(amounts in thousands)	July 1, 2023		June 25, 2022

Depreciation and amortization	$	5,196	$	9,740
Capital expenditures	6,229		2,506
Share-based incentive compensation	812		754
Provision for bad debt	5,062		338

Unless otherwise noted, discussion within the notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations only and excludes the historical JW Australia reportable operating segment.

Note 3. Accounts Receivable

We sell our manufactured products to a large number of customers, primarily in the residential housing construction and remodel sectors, broadly dispersed across many domestic and foreign geographic regions. We assess the credit risk relating to our accounts receivable based on quantitative and qualitative factors, including historical credit collections within each region where we have operations. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers to minimize credit risk. We do not usually require collateral for accounts receivable, but do require advance payment, guarantees, a security interest in the products sold to a customer, and/or letters of credit in certain situations.

At July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had an allowance for credit losses of $13.5 million and $15.4 million, respectively. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses in the six months ended July 1, 2023 is due to improved collections experience in our North America segment and decreased consolidated net revenues.

Note 4. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead costs.


(amounts in thousands)	July 1, 2023		December 31, 2022
Raw materials	$	412,684	$	458,768
Work in process	25,482		28,295
Finished goods	109,633		107,408
Total inventories	$	547,799	$	594,471

Note 5. Property and Equipment, Net


(amounts in thousands)	July 1, 2023		December 31, 2022
Property and equipment	$	1,928,353	$	1,897,751
Accumulated depreciation	(1,299,490)		(1,255,747)
Total property and equipment, net	$	628,863	$	642,004

We recorded accelerated depreciation of our plant and equipment of $1.1 million and $3.2 million during the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively, and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 25, 2022 within restructuring and asset related charges in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, we recorded accelerated depreciation of $9.1 million in the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 from reviews of North America equipment capacity optimization.

The effect on our carrying value of property and equipment due to currency translations for foreign property and equipment, net, was an increase of $4.3 million as of July 1, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022.

Depreciation expense was recorded as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(amounts in thousands)	July 1, 2023		June 25, 2022		July 1, 2023		June 25, 2022

Selling, general and administrative	1,243		1,369		2,888		2,751
Total depreciation expense	$	31,498	$	21,081	$	53,416	$	42,240

Note 7. Intangible Assets, Net

The cost and accumulated amortization values of our intangible assets were as follows:


	July 1, 2023
(amounts in thousands)	Cost		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value
Customer relationships and agreements	$	122,257	$	(78,412)	$	43,845

The effect on our carrying value of intangible assets due to currency translations for foreign intangible assets as of July 1, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 was nominal.

Intangible assets that become fully amortized are removed from the accounts in the period that they become fully amortized. Amortization expense was recorded as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

(amounts in thousands)	July 1, 2023		June 25, 2022		July 1, 2023		June 25, 2022
Amortization expense	$	5,999	$	6,274	$	12,000	$	12,636

Note 8. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities


(amounts in thousands)	July 1, 2023		December 31, 2022
Accrued sales and advertising rebates	$	74,743	$	90,461
Current portion of operating lease liability	32,129		31,152
Non-income related taxes	26,740		22,615
Current portion of warranty liability (Note 9)	22,788		21,215
Accrued income taxes payable	17,996		9,368

Current portion of restructuring accrual (Note 16)	2,690		5,021
Current portion of derivative liability (Note 19)	2,132		3,346
Total accrued expenses and other current liabilities	$	242,596	$	247,901

The legal claims provision relates primarily to contingencies associated with the ongoing legal matters disclosed in Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies.

The accrued sales and advertising rebates, accrued interest payable, accrued freight, and non-income related taxes can fluctuate significantly period-over-period due to timing of payments.

Note 9. Warranty Liability

Warranty terms vary from one year to lifetime on certain window and door components. Warranties are normally limited to servicing or replacing defective components for the original customer. Product defects arising within six months of sale are classified as manufacturing defects and are not included in the current period expense below. Some warranties are transferable to subsequent owners and are either limited to 10 years from the date of manufacture or require pro-rata payments from the customer. A provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale based on historical experience and is periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience.

An analysis of our warranty liability is as follows:


(amounts in thousands)	July 1, 2023		June 25, 2022
Balance as of January 1	$	52,389	$	53,367
Current period charges	16,471		13,372

Experience adjustments	242		906
Payments	(15,118)		(15,032)

Currency translation	207		(664)
Balance at period end	54,191		51,949
Current portion	(22,788)		(20,571)
Long-term portion	$	31,403	$	31,378

The most significant component of our warranty liability as of July 1, 2023 and June 25, 2022 was in the North America segment. As of July 1, 2023, the warranty liability in the North America segment totaled $46.9 million after discounting future estimated cash flows at rates between 0.53% and 3.74%. Without discounting, the liability would have increased by approximately $3.8 million.

Note 10. Long-Term Debt

Our long-term debt, net of original issue discount and unamortized debt issuance costs, consisted of the following:


	July 1, 2023	July 1, 2023		December 31, 2022
(amounts in thousands)	Interest Rate
Senior Secured Notes and Senior Notes	4.63% - 6.25%	$	1,050,000	$	1,050,000
Term loans	1.00% - 7.47%	539,235		541,970
Revolving credit facilities	7.20% - 8.50%	—		55,000
Finance leases and other financing arrangements	1.25% - 8.28%	84,563		89,038
Mortgage notes	4.62% - 5.12%	22,260		22,472
Total Debt		1,696,058		1,758,480
Unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discounts		(10,088)		(11,597)
Current maturities of long-term debt		(47,250)		(34,093)
Long-term debt		$	1,638,720	$	1,712,790

Summaries of our significant changes to outstanding debt agreements as of July 1, 2023 are as follows:

Senior Secured Notes and Senior Notes

In May 2020, we issued $250.0 million of Senior Secured Notes bearing interest at 6.25% and maturing in May 2025 (“6.25% Senior Secured Notes”) in a private placement for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The proceeds were net of fees and expenses associated with debt issuance, including an underwriting fee of 1.25%. Interest is payable semiannually, in arrears, each May and November.

In December 2017, we issued $800.0 million of unsecured Senior Notes in two tranches: $400.0 million bearing interest at 4.63% and maturing in December 2025 (“4.63% Senior Notes”), and $400.0 million bearing interest at 4.88% and maturing in December 2027 in a private placement for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

On August 3, 2023, we redeemed all $250.0 million of our 6.25% Senior Secured Notes and $200.0 million of our 4.63% Senior Notes. See Note 23 - Subsequent Events for additional information.

Term Loans

U.S. Facility - Initially executed in October 2014, we amended the Term Loan Facility in July 2021 to, among other things, extend the maturity date from December 2024 to July 2028 and provide additional covenant flexibility. Pursuant to the amendment, certain existing and new lenders advanced $550.0 million of replacement term loans, the proceeds of which were used to prepay in full the amount outstanding under the previously existing term loans. The replacement term loans originally bore interest at LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus a margin of 2.00% to 2.25% depending on JWI’s corporate credit ratings. In addition, the amendment also modifies certain other terms and provisions of the Term Loan

Facility, and adds language to address the replacement of LIBOR with a SOFR basis upon the June 30, 2023 cessation of the publication of LIBOR. Voluntary prepayments of the replacement term loans are permitted at any time, in certain minimum principal amounts, but were subject to a 1.00% premium during the first six months. The amendment requires 0.25% of the initial principal to be repaid quarterly until maturity. As a result of this amendment, we recognized debt extinguishment costs of $1.3 million, which included $1.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and original discount fees. As of the date of the amendment, the outstanding principal balance, net of original issue discount, was $548.6 million.

In June 2023, we amended the Term Loan Facility to replace LIBOR with a Term SOFR based rate as the successor benchmark rate and made certain other technical amendments and related conforming changes. All other material terms and conditions were unchanged.

As of July 1, 2023, the outstanding principal balance, net of original issue discount, was $538.0 million.

In May 2020, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with a weighted average fixed rate of 0.395% paid against one-month LIBOR floored at 0.00% with outstanding notional amounts aggregating to $370.0 million corresponding to that amount of the debt outstanding under our Term Loan Facility. In June 2023, the interest rate swap agreements were amended to convert to a SOFR basis on June 30, 2023, resulting in a weighted average fixed rate of 0.317% paid against one-month USD-SOFR CME Term floored at (0.10)%. The interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges of a portion of the interest obligations on our Term Loan Facility borrowings and mature in December 2023. See Note 19 - Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information on our derivative assets and liabilities.

Revolving Credit Facilities

ABL Facility - In July 2021, we amended the ABL Facility to, among other things, extend the maturity date from December 2022 to July 2026, increase the aggregate commitment to $500.0 million, provide additional covenant flexibility, conform certain terms and provisions to the Term Loan Facility, and amend the interest rate grid applicable to the loans thereunder by adding language to address the replacement of LIBOR with a SOFR basis upon the June 30, 2023 cessation of the publication of LIBOR. Pursuant to the amendment, the amount allocated to U.S. borrowers was increased to $465.0 million. The amount allocated to Canadian borrowers was maintained at $35.0 million. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bore, at the borrower’s option, interest at either a base rate plus a margin of 0.25% to 0.50% depending on excess availability or LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.50% depending on excess availability. All other material terms and conditions were unchanged.

In June 2023, we amended the ABL Facility to replace LIBOR with a Term SOFR based rate as the successor benchmark rate and made certain other technical amendments and related conforming changes. All other material terms and conditions were unchanged.

As of July 1, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings, $39.0 million in letters of credit and $461.0 million available under the ABL Facility.

Mortgage Notes – In December 2007, we entered into thirty-year mortgage notes secured by land and buildings in Denmark with principal payments which began in 2018. As of July 1, 2023, we had DKK 152.5 million ($22.3 million) outstanding under these notes.

Finance leases and other financing arrangements – In addition to finance leases, we include insurance premium financing arrangements and loans secured by equipment in this category. As of July 1, 2023, we had $84.6 million outstanding in this category, with maturities ranging from 2023 to 2030.

As of July 1, 2023, we were in compliance with the terms of all of our Credit Facilities and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and Senior Secured Notes.

Note 11. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 32.3% and 31.5% for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively, and 23.7% and 22.8% for the three and six months ended June 25, 2022, respectively. In accordance with ASC 740-270, we recorded an income tax expense of $10.8 million and $14.2 million from continuing operations in the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively, and $10.9 million and $9.2 million from continuing operations in the three and six months ended June 25, 2022, respectively. We applied our estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date income for includable entities during the respective periods. Our estimated annual effective tax rate for both years includes the impact of the tax on GILTI. Entities that are currently generating losses and for which there is a full valuation allowance are excluded from the worldwide effective tax rate calculation and are calculated separately.

The impact of significant discrete items is separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur. The tax expense for discrete items included in the tax provision for continuing operations for the three months ended July 1, 2023 was $1.5

million, compared to a tax benefit of $6.4 million for the three months ended June 25, 2022. The discrete tax expense for the three months ended July 1, 2023 were comprised primarily of $1.5 million of tax expense attributable to an increase in the valuation allowance in U.S. state net operating losses. The discrete tax benefits for the three months ended June 25, 2022 were comprised primarily of $9.5 million of tax benefit related to movement in the valuation allowance due to changes in estimated forecasted earnings, partially offset by $2.6 million of tax expense attributable to interest expense on uncertain tax positions and $0.6 million of tax expense attributable to a shortfall tax deduction on share-based compensation.

The tax expense related to discrete items included in the tax provision for continuing operations for the six months ended July 1, 2023 was $2.6 million, compared to a tax benefit of $6.4 million for the six months ended June 25, 2022. The discrete tax expense for the six months ended July 1, 2023 were comprised primarily of a $1.5 million increase in the valuation allowance in U.S. state net operating losses and $1.2 million of tax expense attributable to share-based compensation. The discrete tax benefits for the six months ended June 25, 2022 were comprised primarily of $9.5 million of tax benefit related to movement in the valuation allowance due to changes in estimated forecasted earnings, partially offset by $2.5 million of tax expense attributable to interest expense on uncertain tax positions and $0.5 million of tax expense attributable to a shortfall tax deduction on share-based compensation.

Under ASC 740-10, we provide for uncertain tax positions and the related interest expense by adjusting unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest accordingly. We recognize potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the three months ended July 1, 2023, we settled our income tax audit in the amount of $7.2 million principal excluding interest with the Denmark tax authority. We previously provided a reserve for the Denmark income tax audit and have reduced our uncertain tax position reserve as a result of the settlement. As of July 1, 2023, the settlement amount was reclassified to accrued income tax payable, a current liability, awaiting payment in the three months ended September 30, 2023. We had unrecognized tax benefits without regard to accrued interest of $25.2 million and $29.3 million as of July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company continually evaluates its global cash needs. As of July 1, 2023, the Company continues to make an indefinite reinvestment assertion on the future earnings of its foreign subsidiaries except for the Australasia subsidiaries that are part of our discontinued operations. The Company entered into a definitive sales agreement on April 17, 2023 and no longer maintains its indefinite reinvestment assertion. The Company determined there is no deferred tax expense needed related to the sale of JW Australia.

Note 12. Segment Information

We report our segment information in the same way management internally organizes the business to assess performance and make decisions regarding allocation of resources in accordance with ASC 280-10- Segment Reporting. We have two reportable segments in our continuing operations, organized and managed principally in geographic regions: North America and Europe. We report all other business activities in Corporate and unallocated costs. Factors considered in determining the two reportable segments include the nature of business activities, the management structure accountable directly to the CODM, the discrete financial information available and the information regularly reviewed by the CODM. Management reviews net revenues and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We define Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, adjusted for the following items: income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; and certain special items consisting of non-recurring legal and professional expenses and settlements; restructuring and asset related charges; facility closure, consolidation, and other related costs and adjustments; M&A related costs; share-based compensation expense; non-cash foreign exchange transaction/translation (income) loss; and other special items.

Note 14. Earnings Per Share

The basic and diluted income per share calculations were determined based on the following share data:


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	July 1, 2023	June 25, 2022	July 1, 2023	June 25, 2022







Weighted average outstanding shares of Common Stock basic	84,964,935	87,219,078	84,781,940	88,466,982

Note 16. Restructuring and Asset Related Charges

We engage in restructuring activities focused on improving productivity and operating margins. Restructuring costs primarily relate to costs associated with workforce reductions, plant consolidations and closure, and changes to the management structure to align with our operations. Other restructuring associated costs, primarily consist of equipment relocation costs. Asset related charges consist of accelerated depreciation of assets due to changes in asset useful lives.

The following table summarizes the restructuring and asset related charges for the periods indicated:

On January 26, 2023, we announced to employees a restructuring plan to close a manufacturing facility in Atlanta, Georgia in a continuing effort to optimize the Company’s footprint and drive operational efficiencies (the “Plan”). We expect to incur pre-tax restructuring expenses, other closure costs and capital spending of approximately $17.0 million, which includes $3.0 million of capital expenditures, in connection with the Plan. Through July 1, 2023, approximately $13.3 million has been expensed in connection with the Plan, with approximately $5.2 million expensed in the three months ended July 1, 2023. The primary expenses are accelerated depreciation and amortization, equipment relocation costs, and restructuring severance costs. We expect to incur a total pre-tax cash outlay of approximately $13.7 million by the end of the third quarter of 2023 in connection with the Plan, of which $9.0 million has been paid as of July 1, 2023.

Note 17. Held for Sale

During 2021, the Company ceased the appeal process for its litigation with Steves & Sons, Inc. (“Steves”) further described in Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies. As a result, we are required to divest the Company’s Towanda, PA operations (“Towanda”). As of July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the assets and liabilities associated with the sale of Towanda qualify as held for sale. Since the Company will continue manufacturing door skins for its internal needs, the divestiture decision did not represent a strategic shift thereby precluding the divestiture as qualifying as a discontinued operation. We will continue to report the Towanda results within our North America operations until the divestiture is finalized.

In addition to the Towanda net assets, we own other assets held for sale in Australia and Europe, primarily property and equipment, as of July 1, 2023.

The assets and liabilities included within the summary below are expected to be disposed of within the next twelve months and are included in assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Note 19. Derivative Financial Instruments

Foreign currency derivatives – As a multinational corporation, we are exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. To the extent borrowings, sales, purchases, or other transactions are not executed in the local currency of the operating unit, we are exposed to foreign currency risk. In most of the countries in which we operate, the exposure to foreign currency movements is limited because the operating revenues and expenses of our business units are substantially denominated in the local currency. To mitigate the exposure, we may enter into a variety of foreign currency derivative contracts. To manage the effect of exchange fluctuations on forecasted sales, purchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and certain intercompany transactions that are denominated in foreign currencies, we have foreign currency derivative contracts with a total notional amount of $88.5 million as of July 1, 2023. We also are subject to currency translation risk associated with converting our foreign operations’ financial statements into U.S. dollars. To mitigate the impact to the consolidated earnings of the Company from the effect of the translation of certain subsidiaries’ local currency results into U.S. dollars, we have foreign currency derivative contracts with a total notional amount of $48.8 million as of July 1, 2023. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. With the exception of the AUD/USD forward contracts entered into on April 18, 2023 described below, as of July 1, 2023, we have not elected hedge accounting for any foreign currency derivative contracts. We record mark-to-market changes in the values of these derivatives in other income, net. We recorded mark-to-market losses of $0.9 million and mark-to-market gains of $0.1 million during the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively. We recorded mark-to-market gains of $9.9 million and $10.4 million relating to foreign currency derivatives in the three and six months ended June 25, 2022, respectively.

On April 18, 2023 we entered into forward contracts to sell a total of AUD 420.0 million and receive USD at exchange rates ranging from 0.6751 USD to 0.6759 USD to 1.0 AUD to mitigate the impact of the Australian dollar currency fluctuations on our net investment in JELD-WEN Australia Pty. Ltd. We designated the forward contracts as net investment hedges. No portion of these contracts were deemed ineffective during the three months ended July 1, 2023.

Interest rate derivatives – We are exposed to interest rate risk in connection with our variable rate long-term debt and we partially mitigate this risk through interest rate derivatives such as swaps and caps. In May 2020, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage this risk. The interest rate swap agreements have outstanding notional amounts aggregating to $370.0 million and mature in December 2023. Initially, the agreements had a weighted average fixed rate of 0.395% swapped against one-month USD LIBOR floored at 0.00%. In June 2023, we amended the agreements to replace LIBOR with a Term SOFR based rate. The amended agreements have a weighted average fixed rate of 0.317% swapped against one-month USD-SOFR CME Term floored at (0.10)%. All other terms and conditions were unchanged. The interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges and effectively fix the interest rate on a corresponding portion of the aggregate debt outstanding under our Term Loan Facility.

No portion of these interest rate contracts were deemed ineffective during the three and six months ended July 1, 2023. We recorded pre-tax mark-to-market gains of $1.3 million and $1.0 million during the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively, and $3.4 million and $12.3 million during the three and six months ended June 25, 2022, respectively, in other comprehensive income. We reclassified gains previously recorded in other comprehensive income to interest income of $4.3 million and $8.1 million during the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively, and gains to interest income of $0.3 million and $0.1 million during the three and six months ended June 25, 2022, respectively.

As of July 1, 2023, approximately $9.1 million is expected to be reclassified to interest income until the instruments mature in December 2023.

Other derivative instruments – From time to time, we may enter into other types of derivative instruments immaterial to the business. Unless otherwise disclosed, these instruments are not designated as hedging instruments and mark-to-market adjustments are recorded in the statement of operations each period.

Note 20. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We record financial assets and liabilities at fair value based on FASB guidance related to fair value measurements. The guidance requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The recorded carrying amounts and fair values of these instruments were as follows:

Derivative assets and liabilities reported in level 2 primarily include foreign currency derivative contracts and interest rate swap agreements. See Note 19- Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information about our derivative assets and liabilities.

Deferred compensation plan assets reported in level 2 consist of mutual funds.

There are no material non-financial assets or liabilities as of July 1, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Note 21. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation – We are involved in various legal proceedings, claims, and government audits arising in the ordinary course of business. We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. When a loss is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate within the range, we record the minimum estimated liability related to the lawsuit or claim. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability and revise our accruals, if necessary. Because of uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ materially from our estimates.

Other than the matters described below, there were no proceedings or litigation matters involving the Company or its property as of July 1, 2023 that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or cash flows, although they could have a material adverse effect on our operating results for a particular reporting period.

Steves & Sons, Inc. vs JELD-WEN, Inc. – We sell molded door skins to certain customers pursuant to long-term contracts, and these customers in turn use the molded door skins to manufacture interior doors and compete directly against us in the marketplace. We gave notice of termination of one of these contracts and, on June 29, 2016, the counterparty to the agreement, Steves and Sons, Inc. (“Steves”) filed a claim against JWI in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division (the “Eastern District of Virginia”). The complaint alleged that our acquisition of CMI, a competitor in the molded door skins market, together with subsequent price increases and other alleged acts and omissions, violated antitrust laws, and constituted a breach of contract and breach of warranty. Specifically, the complaint alleged that our acquisition of CMI substantially lessened competition in the molded door skins market. The complaint sought declaratory relief, ordinary and treble damages, and injunctive relief, including divestiture of certain assets acquired in the CMI acquisition.

In February 2018, a jury in the Eastern District of Virginia returned a verdict that was unfavorable to JWI with respect to Steves’ claims that our acquisition of CMI violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act, and found that JWI breached the supply agreement between the parties (the “Original Action”). The verdict awarded Steves $12.2 million for past damages under both the Clayton Act and breach of contract claims and $46.5 million in future lost profits under the Clayton Act claim.

During the course of the proceedings in the Eastern District of Virginia, we discovered certain facts that led us to conclude that Steves, its principals, and certain former employees of the Company had misappropriated Company trade secrets, violated the terms of various agreements between the Company and those parties, and violated other laws. On May 11, 2018, a jury in the Eastern District of Virginia returned a verdict on our trade secrets claims against Steves and awarded damages in the amount of $1.2 million. The presiding judge entered a judgment in our favor for those damages, and the entire amount has been paid by Steves. On August 16, 2019, the presiding judge granted Steves’ request for an injunction, prohibiting us from pursuing certain claims against individual defendants pending in Bexar County, Texas (the “Steves Texas Trade Secret Theft Action”). On September 11, 2019, JELD-WEN filed a notice of appeal of the Eastern District of Virginia’s injunction to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals (the “Fourth Circuit”).

On March 13, 2019, the presiding judge entered an Amended Final Judgment Order in the Original Action, awarding $36.5 million in past damages under the Clayton Act (representing a trebling of the jury’s verdict) and granted divestiture of certain assets acquired in the CMI acquisition, subject to appeal. The judgment also conditionally awarded damages in the event the judgment was overturned on appeal. Specifically, the court awarded $139.4 million as future antitrust damages in the event the divestiture order was overturned on appeal and $9.9 million as past contract damages in the event both the divestiture and antitrust claims were overturned on appeal.

On April 12, 2019, Steves filed a petition requesting an award of its fees and a bill of costs, seeking $28.4 million in attorneys’ fees and $1.7 million in costs in connection with the Original Action. On November 19, 2019, the presiding judge entered an order for further relief awarding Steves an additional $7.1 million in damages for pricing differences from the date of the underlying jury verdict through May 31, 2019 (the “Pricing Action”). We also appealed that ruling. On April 14, 2020, Steves filed a motion for further supplemental relief for pricing differences from the date of the prior order and going forward through the end of the parties’ current supply agreement (the “Future Pricing Action”). We opposed that request for further relief.

JELD-WEN filed a supersedeas bond and notice of appeal of the judgment, which was heard by the Fourth Circuit on May 29, 2020. On February 18, 2021, the Fourth Circuit issued its decision on appeal in the Original Action, affirming the Amended Final Judgment Order in part and vacating and remanding in part. The Fourth Circuit vacated the Eastern District of Virginia’s alternative $139.4 million lost-profits award, holding that award was premature because Steves has not suffered the purported injury on which its claim for future lost profits rests. The Fourth Circuit also vacated the Eastern District of Virginia’s judgment for Sam Steves, Edward Steves, and John Pierce on JELD-WEN’s trade secrets claims. The Fourth Circuit affirmed the Eastern District of Virginia’s finding of antitrust injury and its award of $36.5 million in past antitrust damages. It also affirmed the Eastern District of Virginia’s divestiture order, while clarifying that JELD-WEN retains the right to challenge the terms of any divestiture, including whether a sale to any particular buyer will serve the public interest, and made clear that the Eastern District of Virginia may need to revisit its divestiture order if the special master who has been appointed by the presiding judge cannot locate a satisfactory buyer. JELD-WEN then filed a motion for rehearing en banc with the Fourth Circuit that was denied on March 22, 2021.

Following a thorough review, and consistent with our practice, we concluded that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stakeholders to move forward with the divestiture of Towanda and certain related assets. Although the Company did not seek Supreme Court review of the Fourth Circuit’s February 18, 2021 decision, the Company retains the legal right to challenge the divestiture process and the final divestiture order. We made estimates related to the divestiture in the preparation of our financial statements; however, there can be no guarantee that the divestiture will be consummated. The divestiture process is ongoing, and the special master is overseeing this process. Although the Company has decided to divest, we continue to believe that Steves’ claims lacked merit and that it was not entitled to the extraordinary remedy of divestiture. We continue to believe that the judgment in accordance with the verdict was improper under applicable law.

During the pendency of the Original Action, on February 14, 2020, Steves filed a complaint and motion for preliminary injunction in the Eastern District of Virginia alleging that we breached the long-term supply agreement between the parties, including, among other claims, by incorrectly calculating the allocation of door skins owed to Steves (the “Allocation Action”). Steves sought an additional allotment of door skins and damages for violation of antitrust laws, tortious interference, and breach of contract. On April 10, 2020, the presiding judge granted Steves’ motion for preliminary injunction, and the parties settled the issues underlying the preliminary injunction on April 30, 2020 and the Company reserved the right to appeal the ruling in the Fourth Circuit. The Company believed all the claims lacked merit and moved to dismiss the antitrust and tortious interference claims.

On June 2, 2020, we entered into a settlement agreement with Steves to resolve the Pricing Action, the Future Pricing Action, and the Allocation Action. As a result of the settlement, Steves filed a notice of satisfaction of judgment in the Pricing Action, withdrew its Future Pricing Action with prejudice, and filed a stipulated dismissal with prejudice in the Allocation Action. The Company also withdrew its appeal of the Pricing Action. The parties agreed to bear their own respective attorneys’ fees and costs in these actions. In partial consideration of the settlement, JWI and Steves entered into an amended supply agreement satisfactory to both parties that, by its terms, ended on September 10, 2021. This settlement had no effect on the Original Action between the parties except to agree that certain specific terms of the Amended Final Judgment Order in the Original Action would apply to the amended supply agreement during the pendency of the appeal of the Original Action. On April 2, 2021, JWI and Steves filed a stipulation regarding the amended supply agreement in the Original Action, stating that regardless of whether the case remains on appeal as of September 10, 2021, and absent further order of the court, the amended supply agreement would be extended until the divestiture of Towanda and certain related assets is complete and Steves’ new supply agreement with the company that acquires Towanda is in effect.

We continue to believe the claims in the settled actions lacked merit and made no admission of liability in these matters.

On October 7, 2021, we entered into a settlement agreement with Steves to resolve the following: (i) Steves’ past and any future claims for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs in connection with the Original Action, except that Steves and JWI

each reserved the right to seek attorneys’ fees arising out of any challenge of the divestiture process or the final divestiture order; (ii) the Steves Texas Trade Secret Theft Action and the related Fourth Circuit appeal of the Eastern District of Virginia’s injunction in the Original Action; (iii) the past damages award in the Original Action; and (iv) any and all claims and counterclaims, known or unknown, that were asserted or could have been asserted against each other from the beginning of time through the date of the settlement agreement. As a result of the settlement, the parties filed a stipulated notice of satisfaction of the past antitrust damages judgment and a stipulated notice of settlement of Steves’ claim for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and costs against JWI in the Original Action, and Steves filed a notice of withdrawal of its motion for attorneys’ fees and expenses and bill of costs in the Original Action. The Company also filed a notice of dismissal with prejudice and agreed to take no judgment in the Steves Texas Trade Secret Theft Action, and the parties filed a joint agreement for dismissal of the injunction appeal in the Fourth Circuit. On November 3, 2021, we paid $66.4 million to Steves under the settlement agreement.

Cambridge Retirement System v. JELD-WEN Holding, Inc., et al. – On February 19, 2020, Cambridge Retirement System filed a putative class action lawsuit in the Eastern District of Virginia against the Company, current and former Company executives, and various Onex-related entities alleging violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act, as well as violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the individual defendants and Onex-related entities (“Cambridge”). The lawsuit sought compensatory damages, equitable relief, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. On May 8, 2020, the Public Employees Retirement System of Mississippi and the Plumbers and Pipefitters National Pension Fund were named as co-lead plaintiffs and filed an amended complaint on June 22, 2020.

On April 20, 2021, the parties reached an agreement in principle to resolve this securities class action. The agreement contemplated a full release of claims through the date of preliminary court approval of the settlement in exchange for a payment of $39.5 million, primarily funded by the Company’s D&O insurance carriers, except $5.0 million which was provisionally funded by the Company and remains subject to dispute with insurance carriers. On November 22, 2021, the Court granted final approval of the settlement agreement. The deadline to appeal the entry of the final approval order and judgment was December 22, 2021, and no party or class member filed an appeal. The Company continues to believe that the plaintiffs’ claims lacked merit and has denied any liability or wrongdoing for the claims made against the Company.

In re JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. Derivative Litigation – On February 2, 2021, Jason Aldridge, on behalf of the Company, filed a derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against certain current and former executives and directors of the Company, alleging that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties by allowing the wrongful acts alleged in the Steves and Cambridge actions, as well as violations of Section 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, unjust enrichment, and waste of corporate assets among other allegations (the “Aldridge Action”). The lawsuit sought compensatory damages, equitable relief, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on May 10, 2021.

On June 21, 2021, prior to a response from the Company in the Aldridge Action, Shieta Black and the Board of Trustees of the City of Miami General Employees’ & Sanitation Employees’ Retirement Trust, on behalf of the Company, filed a derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against certain current and former executives and directors of the Company and Onex Corporation (“Onex”), alleging that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by allowing the wrongful acts alleged in the Steves and Cambridge actions, as well as insider trading, and unjust enrichment among other allegations (the “Black Action”). The lawsuit sought compensatory damages, corporate governance reforms, restitution, equitable relief, and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs. The court granted the Black and Aldridge plaintiffs in motion to consolidate the lawsuits on July 16, 2021.

On June 20, 2022, the parties entered into a settlement agreement of the consolidated matters, which was approved by the Court on approval of the December 20, 2022, and the cases were dismissed with prejudice. As part of the settlement, the Company, as putative plaintiff, received approximately $10.5 million after attorneys’ fees and costs were deducted in January 2023.

In re Interior Molded Doors Antitrust Litigation – On October 19, 2018, Grubb Lumber Company, on behalf of itself and others similarly situated, filed a putative class action lawsuit against us and one of our competitors in the doors market, Masonite Corporation (“Masonite”), in the Eastern District of Virginia. We subsequently received additional complaints from and on behalf of direct and indirect purchasers of interior molded doors. The suits were consolidated into two separate actions, a Direct Purchaser Action and an Indirect Purchaser Action. The suits alleged that Masonite and JELD-WEN violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act, and in the Indirect Purchaser Action, related state law antitrust and consumer protection laws, by engaging in a scheme to artificially raise, fix, maintain, or stabilize the prices of interior molded doors in the United States. The complaints sought ordinary and treble damages, declaratory relief, interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees.

On August 31, 2020, JELD-WEN and Masonite entered into a settlement agreement with the putative Direct Purchaser

class to resolve the Direct Purchaser Action. Each defendant agreed to pay a total of $30.8 million to the named plaintiffs and the settlement class in exchange for a full release of claims through the date of preliminary approval of the revised settlement, which the court granted on February 5, 2021. In addition, on September 4, 2020, JELD-WEN and Masonite

entered into a separate settlement agreement with the putative Indirect Purchaser class to resolve the Indirect Purchaser Action. Each defendant agreed to pay $9.75 million to the named plaintiffs and the settlement class in exchange for a full release of claims through the execution date of the settlement agreement. The final fairness hearing in the Direct Purchaser Action was held on June 2, 2021, and the court entered a final approval order and judgment on June 3, 2021. On June 17, 2021, the Company made the settlement payment to the named plaintiffs and the settlement class in the Direct Purchaser Action. The deadline to appeal the entry of the final approval order and judgment was July 7, 2021, and no party or class member filed an appeal. The final fairness hearing in the Indirect Purchaser Action was held on July 26, 2021 and the court issued a final approval order and judgment on July 27, 2021. On August 10, 2021, the Company made the settlement payment to the named plaintiffs and the settlement class in the Indirect Purchaser Action. The deadline to appeal the entry of the final approval order and judgment was August 26, 2021, and no party or class member filed an appeal. The Company continues to believe that the plaintiffs’ claims lacked merit and has denied any liability or wrongdoing for the claims made against the Company.

Canadian Antitrust Litigation – On May 15, 2020, Développement Émeraude Inc., on behalf of itself and others similarly situated, filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and Masonite in the Superior Court of the Province of Quebec, Canada, which was served on us on September 18, 2020 (“the Quebec Action”). The putative class consists of any person in Canada who, since October 2012, purchased one or more interior molded doors from the Company or Masonite. The suit alleges an illegal conspiracy between the Company and Masonite to agree on prices, the distribution of market shares and/or the production levels of interior molded doors and that the plaintiffs suffered damages in that they were charged and paid higher prices for interior molded doors than they would have had to pay but for the alleged anti-competitive conduct. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. On September 9, 2020, Kate O’Leary Swinkels, on behalf of herself and others similarly situated, filed a putative class action against the Company and Masonite in the Federal Court of Canada, which was served on us on September 29, 2020 (the “Federal Court Action”). The Federal Court Action makes substantially similar allegations to the Quebec Action and the putative class is represented by the same counsel. In February 2021, the plaintiff in the Federal Court Action issued a proposed Amended Statement of Claim that replaced the named plaintiff, Kate O’Leary Swinkels, with David Regan. The plaintiff has sought a stay of the Quebec Action while the Federal Court Action proceeds. We anticipate a hearing on the certification of the Federal Court Action in 2023. The Company believes both the Quebec Action and the Federal Court Action lack merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into a preliminary agreement with class counsel to resolve both actions for an immaterial amount, which the Company recorded in the second quarter of 2023. The proposed settlement remains subject to final documentation and court approval. The Company continues to believe the plaintiffs’ claims lack merit and denies any liability or wrongdoing for the claims made against the Company.

We have evaluated the claims against us and recorded provisions based on management’s judgment about the probable outcome of the litigation and have included our estimates in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets. See Note 8 - Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities. While we expect a favorable resolution to these matters, the dispute resolution process could be lengthy, and if the plaintiffs were to prevail completely or substantially in the respective matters described above, such an outcome could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, consolidated financial position, or cash flows.

Self-Insured Risk – We self-insure substantially all of our domestic business liability risks including general liability, product liability, warranty, personal injury, auto liability, workers’ compensation, and employee medical benefits. Excess insurance policies from independent insurance companies generally cover exposures between $5.0 million and $200.0 million for domestic product liability risk and exposures between $3.0 million and $200.0 million for auto, general liability, personal injury, and workers’ compensation. We have no stop loss insurance covering our self-insured employee medical plan and are responsible for all claims thereunder. We estimate our provision for self-insured losses based upon an evaluation of current claim exposure and historical loss experience. Actual self-insurance losses may vary significantly from these estimates. At July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our accrued liability for self-insured risks was $88.2 million and $89.0 million, respectively.

Indemnifications – At July 1, 2023, we had commitments related to certain representations made in contracts for the purchase or sale of businesses or property. These representations primarily relate to past actions such as responsibility for transfer taxes if they should be claimed, and the adequacy of recorded liabilities, warranty matters, employment benefit plans, income tax matters, or environmental exposures. These guarantees or indemnification responsibilities typically expire within one to three years. We are not aware of any material amounts claimed or expected to be claimed under these indemnities. From time to time and in limited geographic areas, we have entered into agreements for the sale of our products to certain customers that provide additional indemnifications for liabilities arising from construction or product defects. We cannot estimate the potential magnitude of such exposures, but to the extent specific liabilities have been identified related to product sales, liabilities have been provided in the warranty accrual in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Other Financing Arrangements – At times we are required to provide letters of credit, surety bonds, or guarantees to meet various performance, legal, warranty, environmental, workers compensation, licensing, utility, and governmental requirements. Stand-by letters of credit are provided to certain customers and counterparties in the ordinary course of business as credit support for contractual performance guarantees, advanced payments received from customers, and future funding commitments. The stated values of these letters of credit agreements, surety bonds, and guarantees were $68.1 million at July 1, 2023 and $60.0 million at December 31, 2022, respectively.

Environmental Contingencies – We periodically incur environmental liabilities associated with remediating our current and former manufacturing sites as well as penalties for not complying with environmental rules and regulations. We record a liability for remediation costs when it is probable that we will be responsible for such costs and the costs can be reasonably estimated. These environmental liabilities are estimated based on current available facts and current laws and regulations. Accordingly, it is likely that adjustments to the estimated liabilities will be necessary as additional information becomes available. Short-term environmental liabilities and settlements are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $0.2 million at July 1, 2023 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2022. Long-term environmental liabilities are recorded in deferred credits and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $11.8 million at July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Everett, Washington WADOE Action – In 2007, we were identified by the WADOE as a PLP with respect to our former manufacturing site in Everett, Washington. In 2008, we entered into an Agreed Order with the WADOE to assess historic environmental contamination and remediation feasibility at the site. As part of the order, we agreed to develop a CAP, arising from the feasibility assessment. In December 2020, we submitted to the WADOE a draft feasibility assessment with an array of remedial alternatives, which we considered substantially complete. During 2021, several comment rounds were completed as well as the identification of the Port of Everett and W&W Everett Investment LLC as additional PLPs, with respect to this matter with each PLP being jointly and severally liable for the cleanup costs. The WADOE received the final feasibility assessment on December 31, 2021, containing various remedial alternatives with its preferred remedial alternatives totaling $23.4 million. Based on this study, we have determined our range of possible outcomes to be $11.8 million to $33.4 million. On March 1, 2022, we delivered a draft CAP to the WADOE consistent with its preferred alternatives, and on May 16, 2022, we received the WADOE’s initial comments on the draft CAP. On June 13, 2022, we responded to the WADOE’s comments, and on October 19, 2022, the WADOE identified Wick Family Properties as another PLP. On December 19, 2022, the WADOE provided the draft CAP to the Company and other PLPs. After further negotiation, the final CAP will ultimately be formalized in an Agreed Order or Consent Decree with the WADOE, the Company, and the other PLPs. We have made provisions within our financial statements within the range of possible outcomes; however, the contents and cost of the final CAP and allocation of the responsibility between the identified PLPs could vary materially from our estimates.

Towanda, Pennsylvania Consent Order – In December 2020, we entered into a COA with the PaDEP to remove a pile of wood fiber waste from our site in Towanda, Pennsylvania, which we acquired in connection with our acquisition of CMI in 2012, by using it as fuel for a boiler at that site. The COA replaced a 2018 Consent Decree between the Company and PaDEP. Under the COA, we are required to achieve certain periodic removal objectives and ultimately remove the entire pile by August 31, 2025. There are currently $1.4 million in bonds posted in connection with these obligations. If we are unable to remove this pile by August 31, 2025, then the bonds will be forfeited, and we may be subject to penalties by PaDEP. We currently anticipate meeting all applicable removal deadlines; however, if our operations should change, additional alternatives would be evaluated to meet the prescribed removal timeline.

Consolidated Results

Net Revenues – Net revenues decreased $53.4 million, or 4.5%, to $1,125.8 million in the three months ended July 1, 2023 from $1,179.2 million in the three months ended June 25, 2022. The decrease was driven by a Core Revenue decrease of 4%, and a 1% adverse foreign exchange impact. Core Revenues decreased due to a reduction in volume/mix of 11%, partially offset by a 7% benefit from price realization.

Gross Margin – Gross margin increased 18.9 million, or 9.2%, to $225.6 million in the three months ended July 1, 2023 from $206.6 million in the three months ended June 25, 2022. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues was 20.0% in the three months ended July 1, 2023 and 17.5% in the three months ended June 25, 2022. The increase in gross margin percentage was due primarily to the benefit from price realization, partially offset by accelerated depreciation in North America from reviews of equipment capacity optimization.

SG&A Expense – SG&A expense increased $10.1 million, or 6.6%, to $162.5 million in the three months ended July 1, 2023 from $152.4 million in the three months ended June 25, 2022. SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenues increased to 14.4% in the three months ended July 1, 2023 from 12.9% in the three months ended June 25, 2022. The increase in SG&A expense and SG&A as a percentage of net revenues was primarily due to increased performance-based variable compensation expenses.

Restructuring and Asset Related Charges – Restructuring and asset related charges in the three months ended July 1, 2023 relate to transformation initiatives, cost savings, and footprint rationalization activities in our North America and Europe segments. The restructuring charges in our North America segment primarily relate to charges incurred in connection with a restructuring plan to close a manufacturing facility in Atlanta, Georgia. For more information, refer to Note 16 - Restructuring and Asset Related Charges to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Interest Expense, Net – Interest expense, net, increased $0.7 million, or 3.3%, to $20.9 million in the three months ended July 1, 2023 from $20.2 million in the three months ended June 25, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase to the cost of borrowing on our variable rate Term Loan Facility, partially offset by interest income from interest rate derivatives and decreased borrowings on the ABL facility in the current period.

Other Expense (Income), Net – Other expense (income), net changed $19.2 million to expense of $2.2 million in the three months ended July 1, 2023 from income of $17.1 million in the three months ended June 25, 2022. Other expense in the three months ended July 1, 2023 primarily consisted of pension expense of $1.7 million. Other income in the three months ended June 25, 2022

primarily consisted of the recovery of cost from interest received on impaired notes of $6.4 million, insurance reimbursements of $4.8 million and pension income of $1.5 million, partially offset by foreign currency losses of $3.3 million. Refer to Note 18 - Other Expense (Income), Net for the remaining components of other expense (income), net.

Income Taxes – Income tax expense decreased $0.1 million, to $10.8 million in the three months ended July 1, 2023 from $10.9 million in the three months ended June 25, 2022. The effective tax rate in the three months ended July 1, 2023 was 32.3% compared to 23.7% in the three months ended June 25, 2022. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a $7.9 million increase in income tax expense from the net impact of discrete items, primarily resulting from changes in valuation allowances, which increased in the three months ended July 1, 2023 and decreased in the three months ended June 25, 2022. For more information, refer to Note 11 - Income Taxes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Consolidated Results

Net Revenues – Net revenues decreased $18.5 million, or 0.8%, to $2,206.3 million in the six months ended July 1, 2023 from $2,224.8 million in the six months ended June 25, 2022. The decrease was driven by a 1% adverse foreign exchange impact. Core Revenues remained flat due to an 8% benefit from price realization, offset by reductions in volume/mix of 8%.

Gross Margin – Gross margin increased $39.1 million, or 10.3%, to $417.3 million in the six months ended July 1, 2023 from $378.3 million in the six months ended June 25, 2022. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues was 18.9% in the six months ended July 1, 2023 and 17.0% in the six months ended June 25, 2022. The increase in gross margin percentage was due primarily to the benefit from price realization, offset by accelerated depreciation in North America from reviews of equipment capacity optimization.

SG&A Expense – SG&A expense decreased $4.8 million, or 1.5%, to $315.2 million in the six months ended July 1, 2023 from $320.0 million in the six months ended June 25, 2022. SG&A expense as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 14.3% in the six months ended July 1, 2023 from 14.4% in the six months ended June 25, 2022. The decrease in SG&A expense and SG&A as a percentage of net revenues was primarily due to decreased labor expenses driven by a reduction in headcount, a reduction in bad debt provision in our North America segment due to improved collections, partially offset by increased performance-based variable compensation expenses.

Restructuring and Asset Related Charges – Restructuring and asset related charges in the six months ended July 1, 2023 relate to transformation initiatives, cost savings, and footprint rationalization activities in our North America and Europe segments. The restructuring charges in our North America segment primarily relate to charges incurred in connection with a restructuring plan to close a manufacturing facility in Atlanta, Georgia. For more information, refer to Note 16 - Restructuring and Asset Related Charges to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Interest Expense, Net – Interest expense, net, increased $3.8 million, or 9.9%, to $42.3 million in the six months ended July 1, 2023 from $38.5 million in the six months ended June 25, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase to the cost of borrowing on our variable rate Term Loan Facility, partially offset by interest income from interest rate derivatives in the current period.

Other Income, Net – Other income, net decreased $24.6 million, or 94.2%, to $1.5 million in the six months ended July 1, 2023 from $26.2 million in the six months ended June 25, 2022. Other income, net in the six months ended July 1, 2023 primarily consisted of foreign currency gains of $2.1 million, the recovery of cost from interest received on impaired notes of $1.7 million, and reimbursements from insurance of $1.2 million, partially offset by pension expense of $3.4 million. Other income, net in the six months ended June 25, 2022 primarily consisted of the recovery of cost from interest received on impaired notes of $13.4 million, insurance reimbursements of $4.8 million, foreign currency gains of $3.5 million and pension income of $3.0 million. Refer to Note 18 - Other Expense (Income), Net for the remaining components of other income, net.

Income Taxes – Income tax expense increased $5.0 million, to $14.2 million in the six months ended July 1, 2023 from $9.2 million in the six months ended June 25, 2022. The effective tax rate in the six months ended July 1, 2023 was 31.5% compared to 22.8% in the six months ended June 25, 2022. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a $9.0 million increase in income tax expense from the net impact of discrete items, primarily resulting from changes in valuation allowances, which increased in the six months ended July 1, 2023 and decreased in the six months ended June 25, 2022. For more information, refer to Note 11 - Income Taxes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Segment Results

We report our segment information in the same way management internally organizes the business in assessing performance and making decisions regarding allocation of resources in accordance with ASC 280-10 - Segment Reporting. We have two reportable segments in our continuing operations, organized and managed principally by geographic region: North America and Europe. We report all other business activities in Corporate and unallocated costs. We define Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, adjusted for the following items: income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization; interest expense, net; and certain special items consisting of non-recurring legal and professional expenses and settlements; restructuring and asset related charges; facility closure, consolidation, and other related costs and adjustments; M&A related costs; share-based compensation expense; non-cash foreign exchange transaction/translation (income) loss; and other special items.

(1)Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. For a discussion of our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, see Note 12 - Segment Information in our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

North America

Net revenues in North America decreased $22.0 million, or 2.6%, to $817.1 million in the three months ended July 1, 2023 from $839.1 million in the three months ended June 25, 2022. The decrease was due to a decrease in Core Revenues of 2%. Core Revenues decreased primarily due to unfavorable volume/mix of 8% driven by weakened market demand, partially offset by a 6% benefit from price realization.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in North America increased $15.3 million to $108.8 million, or 16.4%, in the three months ended July 1, 2023 from $93.5 million in the three months ended June 25, 2022. The increase was primarily due to favorable price/cost, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix and higher other expenses. The increase in other expenses was driven by increased pension expense and increased performance-based variable compensation expenses during the three months ended July 1, 2023 compared to the same period last year. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in our allowance for credit losses due to improved collections.

Europe

Net revenues in Europe decreased $31.3 million, or 9.2%, to $308.7 million in the three months ended July 1, 2023 from $340.0 million in the three months ended June 25, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in Core Revenues of 9%. Core Revenues decreased due to unfavorable volume/mix of 17% primarily due to market softness and uncertainty across the region. partially offset by a 8% benefit from price realization.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in Europe increased $3.9 million, or 19.1%, to $23.9 million in the three months ended July 1, 2023 from $20.0 million in the three months ended June 25, 2022. The increase was primarily due to positive price/cost and favorable productivity, partially offset by unfavorable volume/mix.

Corporate and unallocated costs

Corporate and unallocated costs increased in the three months ended July 1, 2023 by $18.6 million, or 356.4%, compared to the three months ended June 25, 2022, primarily due to a reduction in the recovery of cost from interest received on impaired notes and lower gains on foreign exchange transactions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have historically funded our operations through a combination of cash from operations, draws on our revolving credit facilities, and the issuance of non-revolving debt such as our Term Loan Facility, Senior Notes, and Senior Secured Notes. Working capital fluctuates throughout the year and is impacted by inflation, the seasonality of our sales, customer payment patterns, supply availability, and the translation of the balance sheets of our foreign operations into the U.S. dollar. Typically, working capital increases at the end of the first quarter and beginning of the second quarter in conjunction with, and in preparation for, the peak season for home construction and remodeling in our North America and Europe segments, and decreases starting in the fourth quarter as inventory levels and accounts receivable decline. Inventories fluctuate for raw materials with long delivery lead times, such as steel, as we work through prior shipments and take delivery of new orders.

On a continuing operations basis and excluding JW Australia, as of July 1, 2023, we had total liquidity (a non-GAAP measure) of $649.9 million, consisting of $188.9 million in unrestricted cash, $461.0 million available for borrowing under the ABL Facility, compared to total liquidity of $575.2 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase in total liquidity was primarily due to both higher cash balances and lower borrowings on our ABL Facility at July 1, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022.

On a continuing operations basis and excluding JW Australia, as of July 1, 2023, our cash balances, including $0.6 million of restricted cash, consisted of $32.2 million in the U.S. and $157.4 million in non-U.S. subsidiaries. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company repatriated $132.8 million from non-U.S. subsidiaries and repaid a portion of the outstanding ABL Facility. Based on our current level of operations, the seasonality of our business and anticipated growth, we believe that cash provided by operations and other sources of liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents, and availability under our revolving credit facilities, will provide adequate liquidity for ongoing operations, planned capital expenditures and other investments, and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months.

We may, from time to time, refinance, reprice, extend, retire, or otherwise modify our outstanding debt to lower our interest payments, reduce our debt, or otherwise improve our financial position. These actions may include repricing amendments, extensions, and/or opportunistic refinancing of debt. The amount of debt that may be refinanced, repriced, extended, retired, or otherwise modified, if any, will depend on market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash position, compliance with debt covenants, and other considerations.

We may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will be on such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Based on hypothetical variable rate debt that would have resulted from drawing each revolving credit facility up to the full commitment amount, a 1.0% decrease in interest rates would have reduced our interest expense by $1.8 million in the three months ended July 1, 2023. A 1.0% increase in interest rates would have increased our interest expense by $1.8 million in the same period. In certain instances, the impact of a hypothetical decrease would have been partially mitigated by interest rate floors that apply to certain of our debt agreements.

Borrowings and Refinancings

In July 2021, we refinanced our existing Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility by issuing replacement loans that aggregated to $550.0 million in principal amount under the Term Loan Facility and added $100.0 million in potential additional revolving loan capacity to our ABL Facility.

As of July 1, 2023, we were in compliance with the terms of all of our Credit Facilities and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and Senior Secured Notes.

Our results have been and will continue to be impacted by substantial changes in our net interest expense throughout the periods presented and into the future. See Note 10. - Long-Term Debt to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

(1) Cash flow information is inclusive of cash flows from the Australasia segment as discontinued operations.

Cash Flow from Operations

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities improved to a $153.4 million source of cash in the six months ended July 1, 2023 compared to a $165.7 million use of cash in the six months ended June 25, 2022. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a $284.3 million improvement in net cash provided by our working capital accounts (accounts receivable, net, inventory, and accounts payable). Cash flow provided by Inventory was $177.0 million favorable compared to the six months ended June 25, 2022, primarily driven by demand planning that drove lower inventory days on hand, which mitigated inflation on raw materials. Cash flow provided by Accounts receivable, net of $94.1 million was favorable in the six months ended July 1, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 25, 2022, which was primarily due to decreased sales, partially offset by slightly deteriorated days sales outstanding. Cash flow provided by Accounts payable was $13.2 million favorable compared to the six months ended June 25, 2022, which was primarily due to inflation on purchases, partially offset by demand planning that drove moderated purchasing.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased $20.9 million to $42.2 million in the six months ended July 1, 2023 compared to $21.4 million in the six months ended June 25, 2022, primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures of $12.2 million, and a decrease in cash received from the recovery of cost from interest received on impaired notes of $11.7 million, partially offset by cash received from insurance proceeds related to a property claim of $3.2 million.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased to a $70.8 million use of cash in the six months ended July 1, 2023 compared to a $81.1 million source of cash in the six months ended June 25, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in net borrowings of $186.6 million, partially offset by the non-recurrence of repurchases of our Common Stock of $105.2 million in the six months ended June 25, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our MD&A is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which may differ from these estimates.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements presented in our 10-K. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Form 10-K. Our significant and critical accounting policies have not changed significantly since our Form 10-K was filed.

Holding Company Status

We are a holding company that conducts all of our operations through subsidiaries, and we rely on dividends or advances from our subsidiaries to fund the holding company. The majority of our operating income is derived from JWI, our main operating subsidiary. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us is subject to applicable local law and may be limited due to the terms of other contractual arrangements, including our Credit Facilities, Senior Notes, and Senior Secured Notes.

The amount of our consolidated net assets that were available to be distributed under our Credit Facilities as of July 1, 2023 was $358.4 million.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various types of market risks, including the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates, and movements in commodity prices for products we use in our manufacturing. To reduce our exposure to these risks, we maintain risk management controls and policies to monitor these risks and take appropriate actions to attempt to mitigate such forms of market risk. Our market risks have not changed significantly from those disclosed in the Form 10-K.

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, including this Report, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer (“CEO”) and principal financial officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report and, based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 1, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
