SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including, without limitation, statements concerning the conditions in our industry, our operations, our economic performance and financial condition, including, in particular, statements relating to our business and growth strategy and product development efforts under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "might," "will," "should," "estimate," "project," "plan," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "outlook," "believe" and other similar expressions. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. These forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions by our management that, although we believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain and subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, those identified under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2018, subsequent reports on Form 10-Q, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
The following list represents some, but not necessarily all, of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from historical results or those anticipated or predicted by these forward-looking statements:
downward trends in our end markets and in economic conditions;
reduced levels of residential new construction; residential repair, renovation and remodeling; and non-residential building construction activity due to increases in mortgage rates, changes in mortgage interest deductions and related tax changes and reduced availability of financing;
competition;
the continued success of, and our ability to maintain relationships with, certain key customers in light of customer concentration and consolidation;
new tariffs and evolving trade policy between the United States and other countries, including China;
increases in prices of raw materials and fuel;
increases in labor costs, the availability of labor, or labor relations (i.e., disruptions, strikes or work stoppages);
our ability to manage our operations including anticipating demand for our products, managing disruptions in our operations, managing manufacturing realignments (including related restructuring charges), managing customer credit risk and successful integration of acquisitions;
the continuous operation of our information technology and enterprise resource planning systems and management of potential cyber security threats and attacks;
our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to fund our capital expenditure requirements, to meet our pension obligations, and to meet our debt service obligations, including our obligations under our senior notes and our ABL Facility;
political, economic and other risks that arise from operating a multinational business;
uncertainty relating to the United Kingdom's anticipated exit from the European Union;
fluctuating exchange and interest rates;
our ability to innovate and keep pace with technological developments;
product liability claims and product recalls;
retention of key management personnel;
environmental and other government regulations, including the FCPA, and any changes in such regulations; and
limitations on operating our business as a result of covenant restrictions under our existing and future indebtedness, including our senior notes and our ABL Facility.
We caution you that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report may not in fact occur. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

MASONITE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Business Overview and Significant Accounting Policies
Unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Masonite," "we," "our," "us" and the "Company" in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements refer to Masonite International Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Description of Business
Masonite International Corporation is one of the largest manufacturers of doors in the world, with significant market share in both interior and exterior door products. Masonite operates 67 manufacturing locations in 8 countries and sells doors to customers throughout the world, including the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Basis of Presentation
We prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal and recurring entries considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements; therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2018, as filed with the SEC. Our fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. In a 52-week year, each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks. For ease of disclosure, the 13- and 39-week periods are referred to as three- and nine-month periods, respectively. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current basis of presentation, related to discontinued operations, as described in the 2018 Form 10-K.
Changes in Accounting Standards and Policies
There have been no changes in the significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in the fiscal year 2018 audited consolidated financial statements, other than as noted below.
Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, "Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract." This ASU amended the definition of a hosting arrangement and required a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software" to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or expense as incurred. Capitalized implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract are amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, beginning when the module or component of the hosting arrangement is ready for its intended use. The guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods; early adoption was permitted and either retrospective or prospective application was required for all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. We have early adopted this guidance prospectively as of December 31, 2018, the beginning of fiscal year 2019, and the adoption did not have any material impact on our results of operations.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment," which amended ASC 350 "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other." This ASU simplified the accounting for goodwill impairments and allowed a goodwill impairment charge to be based upon the amount of a reporting unit's carrying value in excess of its fair value; thus, eliminating what is currently known as "Step 2" under the current guidance. This ASU was effective

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)

for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods; early adoption was permitted and prospective application was required. We have early adopted this guidance prospectively as of December 31, 2018, the beginning of fiscal year 2019, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which replaces the existing guidance in ASC 840, "Leases." This standard was supplemented by ASUs 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11 and 2019-01. The updated standards aim to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requiring disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The transition option in ASU 2018-11 allows entities to not apply the standards to the comparative periods they present in their financial statements in the year of adoption. These ASUs were effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods; early adoption was permitted. We have elected to adopt these standards utilizing the modified retrospective method as of December 31, 2018, with the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of the new standards, which allowed us to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, to carry forward the historical lease classification and permitted us to exclude from our assessment initial direct costs for any existing leases. Additionally, we have elected to utilize the practical expedient which allows us to account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component. We also made an accounting policy election to exclude leases with an initial term of twelve months or less from our transition adjustment. Lease payments are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of a ROU asset and lease liability for our operating leases of $108.0 million and $113.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2018. Our operating leases include leases for real estate and machinery and equipment and we have no material finance leases. The difference between the opening ROU asset and lease liability amounts was due to the reclassification of the existing deferred rent liability balance against the opening ROU assets to which it related. The standard did not materially affect our results of operations, liquidity or compliance with our debt covenants under our current agreements. Additional transition disclosures, including our updated lease accounting policy, are included in Note 6.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements not yet Adopted
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans," which amended ASC 715, "Compensation—Retirement Benefits." This standard is applicable for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans, and eliminates disclosures no longer considered cost beneficial, clarifies specific disclosure requirements for entities that provide aggregate disclosures for two or more plans and adds requirements for explanations for significant gains and losses related to changes in benefit obligations. The guidance will be effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2020; early adoption is permitted and retrospective application is required. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on our financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)”, which replaces the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses with a current expected credit losses model. This standard applies to all financial assets, including trade receivables. Our current accounts receivable policy is described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2018, and uses historical and current information to estimate the amount of probable credit losses in our existing account receivable balances. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years; early adoption is permitted and modified retrospective application is required. We are in the process of evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on our financial statements.

2. Acquisitions and Disposition
2019 Acquisition
On August 29, 2019, we completed the acquisition of TOPDOORS, s.r.o. ("Top Doors") based in the Czech Republic for cash consideration of $1.6 million, net of cash acquired. Top Doors is a specialist manufacturer of door frames. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $1.1 million was allocated to goodwill in our Europe segment. The goodwill principally represents anticipated synergies from Top Doors' integration into our existing Europe door business. The purchase price allocation, net sales, net income (loss) attributable to Masonite and pro forma information for Top Doors are not presented as they were not material for any period presented.
2018 Acquisitions
On November 1, 2018, we completed the acquisition of the operating assets of Bridgewater Wholesalers Inc. ("BWI") for cash consideration of $22.3 million, net of cash acquired. BWI is headquartered in Branchburg, New Jersey, and is a fabricator and distributor of residential interior and exterior door systems, supporting customers in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States. Their product offerings include residential interior and exterior doors, commercial doors and hardware as well as value added pre-finishing services. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $3.7 million was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill principally represents anticipated synergies to be gained from the integration into our existing North American Residential business and the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
On June 1, 2018, we completed the acquisition of the operating assets of the wood door companies of AADG, Inc., including the brands Graham Manufacturing Corporation and The Maiman Company (collectively, "Graham & Maiman"). We acquired the operating assets of Graham & Maiman for cash consideration of $39.0 million. Graham & Maiman are based in Mason City, Iowa, and Springfield, Missouri. Graham & Maiman provide the non-residential construction industry with a full range of architectural premium and custom grade flush wood doors, architectural stile and rail wood doors, thermal-fused flush wood doors and wood door frames. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $11.0 million was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill principally represents anticipated synergies to be gained from the integration into our existing Architectural business and the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.
On January 29, 2018, we completed the acquisition of DW3 Products Holdings Limited ("DW3"), a leading UK provider of high quality premium door solutions and window systems, supplying products under brand names such as Solidor, Residor, Nicedor and Residence. We acquired 100% of the equity interests in DW3 for cash consideration of $96.3 million, net of cash acquired. DW3 is based in Stoke-on-Trent and Gloucester, England, and their online quick ship capabilities and product portfolio both complement and expand the strategies we are pursuing with our business. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired of $33.6 million was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill principally represents anticipated synergies to be gained from the integration into our existing United Kingdom business and the goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. 
The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the 2018 acquisitions are as follows:

During the nine months ended September 29, 2019, we finalized the purchase price allocation for the BWI acquisition, which resulted in a $0.4 million increase in goodwill due to final working capital adjustments. The fair values of intangible assets acquired are based on management's estimates and assumptions including variations of the income approach, the cost approach and the market approach. The intangible assets acquired are not expected to have any residual value. The gross contractual value of acquired trade receivables was $9.3 million and $9.1 million for the BWI and DW3 acquisitions, respectively.
Intangible assets acquired from the 2018 acquisitions consist of the following:

Pro Forma Information
The following unaudited pro forma financial information represents the consolidated financial information as if the acquisitions had been included in our consolidated results beginning on the first day of the fiscal year prior to their respective acquisition dates. The pro forma results have been calculated after adjusting the results of the acquired entities to remove intercompany transactions and transaction costs incurred and to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had been applied on the first day of the fiscal year prior to the respective acquisitions, together with the consequential tax effects. The pro forma results do not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the acquisitions; the costs to combine the companies' operations; or the costs necessary to achieve these costs savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements. The pro forma results do not necessarily reflect the actual results of operations of the combined companies' under our ownership and operation.

Disposition
On March 21, 2019, we completed the sale of all of the capital stock of Performance Doorset Solutions Limited ("PDS") for nominal consideration. We have had and will continue to have no continuing involvement with PDS subsequent to the sale, and the purchasers are not considered to be a related party. The disposition of this business resulted in a loss on disposal of subsidiaries of $4.6 million, which was recognized during the first nine months of 2019 in the Europe segment. The total charge consists of $3.6 million relating to the write-off of the net assets sold and other professional fees and $1.0 million relating to the recognition of the cumulative translation adjustment out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
3. Accounts Receivable
Our customers consist mainly of wholesale distributors, dealers, homebuilders and retail home centers. Our ten largest customers accounted for 51.1% and 54.6% of total accounts receivable as of September 29, 2019, and December 30, 2018, respectively. Our largest customer, The Home Depot, Inc., accounted for more than 10% of the consolidated gross accounts receivable balance as of September 29, 2019, and December 30, 2018. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance was $2.2 million and $2.1 million as of September 29, 2019, and December 30, 2018, respectively.

We maintain an accounts receivable sales program with a third party (the "AR Sales Program"). Under the AR Sales Program, we can transfer ownership of eligible trade accounts receivable of certain customers. Receivables are sold outright to a third party that assumes the full risk of collection, without recourse to us in the event of a loss. Transfers of receivables under this program are accounted for as sales. Proceeds from the transfers reflect the face value of the accounts receivable less a discount. Receivables sold under the AR Sales Program are excluded from trade accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are included in cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The discounts on the sales of trade accounts receivable sold under the AR Sales Program were not material for any of the periods presented and were recorded in selling, general and administration expense within the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Depreciation expense is included primarily within cost of goods sold in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
6. Leases
Lease Accounting Policy
Our updated policy for lease accounting, which we adopted prospectively as of December 31, 2018, is as follows:
We determine if a contract is a lease at inception or upon acquisition and reevaluate each time a lease contract is amended or otherwise modified. A lease will be classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any of the criteria for a finance lease. Those criteria include the transfer of ownership of the underlying asset by the end of the lease term; an option to purchase the underlying asset that we would be reasonably certain to exercise; the lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; the present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by us that is not already reflected in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of
10


Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)

the fair value of the underlying asset or if the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to us at the end of the lease term.
The assets and liabilities relating to operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, accrued expenses, and long-term operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The assets and liabilities relating to finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment and other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the respective lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Since our leases do not specify implicit discount rates, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any initial direct costs and is adjusted for lease incentives and prepaid or accrued rent. The lease term begins on the date when the lessor makes the underlying asset available for use to us, and our expected lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise those options. Lease payments are recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.
Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, with the related lease expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease and non-lease components of a contract are combined into a single lease component for accounting purposes.
Current Period Lease Disclosures
Our operating leases include leases for real estate (including manufacturing sites, warehouses and offices) and machinery and equipment and we have no material finance leases or subleases. Certain of our operating leases contain provisions for renewal ranging from one to four options of one to ten years each.
Total operating lease expense, including non-cancelable operating leases and short-term leases, was $10.0 million and $29.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, respectively, and $7.9 million and $23.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 29, 2019, we finalized the purchase price allocation for the BWI acquisition, which resulted in a $0.4 million increase in goodwill due to final working capital adjustments. During the fourth quarter of 2018, we performed our annual quantitative impairment test of goodwill for all of our reporting units, including the Architectural reporting unit, determining that goodwill was not impaired based upon the forecasts utilized

in that test. While there was no identification of potential impairment at that time, it is possible that the estimate of discounted cash flows for the Architectural reporting unit may change in the near term based upon actual results and updated forward-looking forecasts, resulting in the need to write down goodwill to its fair value. While an interim impairment test of the Architectural reporting unit’s goodwill was not required during the nine months ended September 29, 2019, it is possible that such a test could be required during future interim periods.

5.375% Senior Notes due 2028
        On July 25, 2019, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal senior unsecured notes (the "2028 Notes"). The 2028 Notes were issued in a private placement for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to buyers outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2028 Notes were issued without registration rights and are not listed on any securities exchange. The 2028 Notes bear interest at 5.375% per annum, payable in cash semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year and are due February 1, 2028. The 2028 notes were issued at par. We received net proceeds of $493.3 million after deducting $6.7 million of debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs were capitalized as a reduction to the carrying value of debt and are being accreted to interest expense over the term of the 2028 Notes using the effective interest method. The net proceeds from issuance of the 2028 Notes, together with available cash balances, were used to redeem the remaining $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes (as described below), including the payment of related premiums, fees and expenses.
        Subsequent to the closing of the 2028 Notes offering, the 2023 Notes were redeemed, and the notes were considered extinguished as of August 10, 2019. Under the terms of the indenture governing the 2023 Notes, we paid the applicable premium of $14.1 million. Additionally, the unamortized premium of $3.1 million and unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.5 million relating to the 2023 Notes were written off in conjunction with the extinguishment of the 2023 Notes. The resulting loss on extinguishment of debt was $14.5 million and is recorded as part of income from continuing operations before income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Additionally, the cash payment of interest accrued to, but not including, the redemption date was accelerated to the redemption date.

Obligations under the 2028 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain of our directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries. We may redeem the 2028 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 1, 2023, at the applicable redemption prices specified under the indenture governing the 2028 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. If we experience certain changes of control or consummate certain asset sales and do not reinvest the net proceeds, we must offer to repurchase all of the 2028 Notes at a purchase price of 101.00% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
The indenture governing the 2028 Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional debt and issue disqualified or preferred stock, (ii) make restricted payments, (iii) sell assets, (iv) create or permit restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to the parent company, (v) create or incur certain liens, (vi) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (vii) merge or consolidate with other entities and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates.

The indenture governing the 2028 Notes contains customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods). As of September 29, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the 2028 Notes.
5.75% Senior Notes due 2026
On August 27, 2018, we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal senior unsecured notes (the "2026 Notes"). The 2026 Notes were issued in a private placement for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to buyers outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2026 Notes were issued without registration rights and are not listed on any securities exchange. The 2026 Notes bear interest at 5.75% per annum, payable in cash semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year and are due September 15, 2026. The 2026 notes were issued at par. We received net proceeds of $295.7 million after deducting $4.3 million of debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs were capitalized as a reduction to the carrying value of debt and are being accreted to interest expense over the term of the 2026 Notes using the effective interest method. The net proceeds from issuance of the 2026 Notes were used to redeem $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes (as described below), including the payment of related premiums, fees and expenses, with the balance of the proceeds available for general corporate purposes.
Subsequent to the closing of the 2026 Notes offering, the 2023 Notes were partially redeemed, with that portion of the notes considered extinguished as of September 12, 2018. Under the terms of the indenture governing the 2023 Notes, we paid the applicable premium of $5.3 million. Additionally, the proportionate shares of the unamortized premium of $1.0 million and unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.1 million relating to the 2023 Notes were written off in conjunction with the partial extinguishment of the 2023 Notes. The resulting loss on extinguishment of debt was $5.4 million and is recorded as part of income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Additionally, the cash payment of interest accrued to, but not including, the redemption date was accelerated to the redemption date.
Obligations under the 2026 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain of our directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries. We may redeem the 2026 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after September 15, 2021, at the applicable redemption prices specified under the indenture governing the 2026 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. If we experience certain changes of control or consummate certain asset sales and do not reinvest the net proceeds, we must offer to repurchase all of the 2026 Notes at a purchase price of 101.00% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

5.625% Senior Notes due 2023
On September 27, 2017, and March 23, 2015, we issued $150.0 million and $475.0 million aggregate principal senior unsecured notes, respectively (the "2023 Notes"). The 2023 Notes were issued in two private placements for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to buyers outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2023 Notes were issued without registration rights and were not listed on any securities exchange. The 2023 Notes bore interest at 5.625% per annum, payable in cash semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year and were due March 15, 2023. The 2023 Notes were issued at 104.0% and par in 2017 and 2015, respectively, and the resulting premium of $6.0 million was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2023 Notes using the effective interest method. We received net proceeds of $153.9 million and $467.9 million, respectively, after deducting $2.1 million and $7.1 million of debt issuance costs in 2017 and 2015, respectively. The debt issuance costs were capitalized as a reduction to the carrying value of debt and were being accreted to interest expense over the term of the 2023 Notes using the effective interest method. The net proceeds from the 2017 issuance of the 2023 Notes were for general corporate purposes. The net proceeds from the 2015 issuance of the 2023 Notes, together with available cash balances, were used to redeem $500.0 million aggregate principal of prior 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2021 and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses. As of August 10, 2019, the 2023 Notes were fully redeemed, as described above.
ABL Facility
On January 31, 2019, we and certain of our subsidiaries amended and restated our asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility") in order to extend the maturity date of the ABL Facility and amend certain other provisions. The amended and restated ABL Facility increased the revolving commitments to $250.0 million from $150.0 million and extended the final maturity date to January 31, 2024, from April 9, 2020. The borrowing base is calculated based on a percentage of the value of selected U.S., Canadian and U.K. accounts receivable and inventory, less certain ineligible amounts. Obligations under the ABL Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in such accounts receivable, inventory and other related assets of Masonite and our subsidiaries. In addition, obligations under the ABL Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis, by certain of our directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at our opinion, (i) the U.S., Canadian or U.K. Base Rate (each as defined in the credit agreement relating to the ABL Facility, the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum, or (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate or BA Rate (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.50% per annum. In addition to paying interest on any outstanding principal under the ABL Facility, a commitment fee is payable on the undrawn portion of the ABL Facility in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the average daily balance of unused commitments during each calendar quarter.
The ABL Facility contains various customary representations, warranties and covenants by us that, among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, restrict Masonite's ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: (i) pay dividends on our common shares and make other restricted payments, (ii) make investments and acquisitions, (iii) engage in transactions with our affiliates, (iv) sell assets, (v) merge and (vi) create liens. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended the ABL Facility to, among other things, (i) permit us to incur unlimited unsecured debt as long as such debt does not contain covenants or default provisions that are more restrictive than those contained in the ABL Facility, (ii) permit us to incur debt as long as the pro forma secured leverage ratio is less than 4.5 to 1.0, and (iii) add certain additional exceptions and exemptions under the restricted payment, investment and indebtedness covenants (including increasing the amount of certain debt permitted to be incurred under existing exceptions). As of September 29, 2019, and December 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility and there were no amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
The following discussion describes material developments in previously disclosed legal proceedings that occurred since December 30, 2018. Refer to Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies in the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2018, for a full description of the previously disclosed legal proceedings.
Class Action Proceedings
On September 18, 2019, the Court ruled on Defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated purported class action direct purchaser and end-purchaser complaints filed against us and Jeld-Wen, Inc. The Court: (i) denied Defendants’ motion to dismiss the direct purchasers’ Sherman Act claims, (ii) granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss the direct purchasers’ fraudulent concealment claims (limiting the claims they may assert to those within four years of the filing of their complaint), and (iii) granted in part and denied in part Defendants’ motion to dismiss the state law claims filed by the end-purchaser plaintiffs, dismissing 66 of 91 state law claims. On October 31, 2019, the Court granted end-purchaser plaintiffs' motion to amend their complaint in order to correct certain deficiencies identified by the Court in its order on the motion to dismiss various state law claims. The Court's order is likely to lead to the reinstatement of some of the end-purchaser plaintiffs' dismissed claims where the basis for dismissal was the lack of a representative plaintiff from certain states. The Court gave end-purchaser plaintiffs until November 12, 2019, to amend their complaint. Discovery in the case is proceeding. The Court has set a trial date of October 20, 2020.
In addition, from time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
11. Share Based Compensation Plans
Share based compensation expense was $3.7 million and $8.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, respectively, and $1.6 million and $8.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. As of September 29, 2019, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to share based compensation amounted to $18.1 million, which will be amortized over the weighted average remaining requisite service period of 1.7 years. Share based compensation expense is recognized using a graded-method approach, or to a lesser extent a cliff-vesting approach, depending on the terms of the individual award and is classified within selling, general and administration expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. All share based awards are settled through issuance of new shares of our common stock. The share based award agreements contain restrictions on sale or transfer other than in limited circumstances. All other transfers would cause the share based awards to become null and void.
Equity Incentive Plans
Our equity incentive plans under the 2009 Plan and the 2012 Plan are described in detail and defined in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2018. The aggregate number of common shares that can be issued with respect to equity awards under the 2012 Plan cannot exceed 2,000,000 shares plus the number of shares subject to existing grants under the 2009 Plan that may expire or be forfeited or canceled. As of September 29, 2019, there were 669,118 shares of common stock available for future issuance under the 2012 Plan.
Deferred Compensation Plan
We offer to certain of our employees and directors a Deferred Compensation Plan, which is described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2018. As of September 29, 2019, the liability and asset relating to deferred compensation had a fair value of $6.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Any unfunded gain or loss relating to changes in the fair value of the deferred compensation liability is recognized in selling, general and administration expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As of September 29, 2019, participation in the deferred compensation plan is limited and no restricted stock awards have been deferred into the deferred compensation plan.

Stock Appreciation Rights
We have granted Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs") to certain employees under both the 2009 Plan and the 2012 Plan, which entitle the recipient to the appreciation in value of a number of common shares over the exercise price over a period of time, each as specified in the applicable award agreement. The exercise price of any SAR granted may not be less than the fair market value of our common shares on the date of grant. The compensation expense for the SARs is measured based on the fair value of the SARs at the date of grant and is recognized over the requisite service period. The SARs vest over a maximum of three years, have a life of ten years and settle in common shares. We recognize forfeitures of SARs in the period in which they occur.
The total fair value of SARs vested was $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 29, 2019.

The value of SARs granted is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, and the corresponding expense is recognized over the average requisite service period of 2.0 years for all periods presented. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of our public industry peers' common shares amongst other considerations. The expected term is calculated using the simplified method, due to insufficient exercise activity during recent years as a basis from which to estimate future exercise patterns. The weighted average grant date assumptions used for the SARs granted were as follows for the periods indicated:

Restricted Stock Units
We have granted Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") to directors and certain employees under both the 2009 Plan and the 2012 Plan. The RSUs confer the right to receive shares of our common stock at a specified future date or when certain conditions are met. The compensation expense for the RSUs awarded is based on the fair value of the RSUs at the date of grant and is recognized over the requisite service period. The RSUs vest over a maximum of three years and call for the underlying shares to be delivered no later than 30 days following the vesting date unless the participant is subject to a blackout period. In such case, the shares are to be delivered once the blackout restriction has been lifted. We recognize forfeitures of RSUs in the period in which they occur.

(2) A portion of the vested RSUs delivered were net share settled to cover statutory requirements for income and other employment taxes. We remit the equivalent cash to the appropriate taxing authorities. These net share settlements had the effect of share repurchases by us as we reduced and retired the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued as a result of the vesting.
Approximately four-fifths of the RSUs granted during the nine months ended September 29, 2019, vest at specified future dates with only service requirements, while the remaining portion of the RSUs vest based on both performance and service requirements. The expense for RSUs granted in the nine months ended September 29, 2019, is being recognized over the weighted average requisite service period of 2.3 years. 135,847 RSUs vested during the nine months ended September 29, 2019, at a fair value of $8.4 million.
12. Restructuring Costs
There were no restructuring costs in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The following table summarizes the restructuring charges recorded for the periods indicated:

In February 2019, we began implementing a plan to improve overall business performance that includes the reorganization of our manufacturing capacity and a reduction of our overhead and selling, general and administration workforce across all of our reportable segments and in our head offices. The reorganization of our manufacturing capacity involves specific plants in the North American Residential and Architectural segments and costs associated with the closure of these plants and related headcount reductions began taking place in the first quarter of 2019 (collectively, the "2019 Plan"). Costs associated with the 2019 Plan include severance, retention and closure charges and will continue through 2020. Additionally, the plan to divest non-core assets was determined to be a triggering event requiring a test of the carrying value of the definite-lived assets relating to the divestitures, as further described in Note 13. As of September 29, 2019, we expect to incur approximately $8 million to $10 million of additional charges related to the 2019 Plan.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, we began implementing a plan to reorganize and consolidate certain aspects of our United Kingdom head office function and optimize our portfolio by divesting non-core assets to enable more effective and consistent business processes in the Europe segment. In addition, in the North America segment we announced a new facility that will optimize and expand capacity through increased automation, which resulted in the closure of one existing facility and related headcount reductions which completed in the second quarter of 2019 (collectively, the "2018 Plan"). Costs associated with the 2018 Plan include severance, retention and closure charges and will continue throughout 2019. As of September 29, 2019, we expect to incur approximately $1 million of additional charges related to the 2018 Plan.
Our restructuring plans initiated in 2016 and prior years are described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2018. Costs and actions associated with these restructuring plans include severance and closure charges and are substantially complete. As of September 29, 2019, we do not expect to incur any material future charges relating to our restructuring plans initiated in 2016 and prior years. Other plans initiated in prior years did not have a material impact on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income or consolidated statements of cash flows for the three or nine months ended September 29, 2019, or September 30, 2018, or on the consolidated balance sheets as of September 29, 2019, or December 30, 2018.

13. Asset Impairment
During the nine months ended September 29, 2019, we recognized non-cash asset impairment charges of $13.8 million related to two asset groups in the North American Residential segment, as a result of announced plant closures under the 2019 Plan. This amount was determined based upon the excess of the asset groups' carrying values of property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets over the respective fair values of such assets, determined using a discounted cash flows approach for each asset group. Each of these valuations was performed on a non-recurring basis and is categorized as having Level 3 valuation inputs as established by the FASB's Fair Value Framework. The Level 3 unobservable inputs include an estimate of future cash flows and the salvage value for each of the asset groups. The fair value of the asset groups was determined to be $9.4 million, compared to a book value of $23.2 million, with the difference representing the asset impairment charges recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
14. Income Taxes
The effective tax rate differs from the Canadian statutory rate of 26.4% primarily due to mix of earnings in foreign jurisdictions that are subject to tax rates which differ from the Canadian statutory rate and changes in our valuation allowances. In addition, we recognized $0.1 million of income tax benefit due to the exercise and delivery of share-based awards during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, compared to $0.8 million and $1.1 million of income tax benefit during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

15. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to Masonite by the weighted-average number of our common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to Masonite by the weighted-average number of common shares plus the incremental number of shares issuable from non-vested and vested RSUs and SARs outstanding during the period.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding utilized for the diluted EPS calculation contemplates the exercise of all currently outstanding SARs and the conversion of all RSUs. The dilutive effect of such equity awards is calculated based on the weighted average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. For all periods presented, common shares issuable for stock instruments which would have had an anti-dilutive impact under the treasury stock method have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share.
16. Segment Information
Our reportable segments are organized and managed principally by end market: North American Residential, Europe and Architectural. The North American Residential reportable segment is the aggregation of the Wholesale and Retail operating segments. The Europe reportable segment is the aggregation of the United Kingdom and Central Eastern Europe operating segments. The Architectural reportable segment consists solely of the Architectural operating segment. The Corporate & Other category includes unallocated corporate costs and the results of immaterial operating segments which were not aggregated into any reportable segment. Operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments only if they exhibit similar economic characteristics. In addition to similar economic characteristics we also consider the following factors in determining the reportable segments: the nature of business activities, the management structure directly accountable to our chief operating decision maker for operating and administrative activities, availability of discrete financial information and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors.

Our management reviews net sales and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Net assets are not allocated to the reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which does not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to either net income or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to Masonite adjusted to exclude the following items:
• depreciation;
• amortization;
• share based compensation expense;
• loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment;
• registration and listing fees;
• restructuring costs;
• asset impairment;
• loss (gain) on disposal of subsidiaries;
• interest expense (income), net;
• loss on extinguishment of debt;
• other expense (income), net;
• income tax expense (benefit);
• loss (income) from discontinued operations, net of tax; and
• net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest.
This definition of Adjusted EBITDA differs from the definitions of EBITDA contained in the indentures governing the 2028 Notes and 2026 Notes and the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility. Adjusted EBITDA is used to evaluate and compare the performance of the segments and it is one of the primary measures used to determine employee incentive compensation. Intersegment transfers are negotiated on an arm's length basis, using market prices. Certain information with respect to segments is as follows for the periods indicated:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is based upon accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and discusses the financial condition and results of operations for Masonite International Corporation for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, and September 30, 2018. In this MD&A, "Masonite," "we," "us," "our" and the "Company" refer to Masonite International Corporation and its subsidiaries.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with (i) the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and (ii) the annual audited consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes and MD&A, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2018. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the disclosure under "Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements" elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current basis of presentation.
Overview
We are a leading global designer, manufacturer and distributor of interior and exterior doors for the new construction and repair, renovation and remodeling sectors of the residential and the non-residential building construction markets. Since 1925, we have provided our customers with innovative products and superior service at compelling values. In order to better serve our customers and create sustainable competitive advantages, we focus on developing innovative products, advanced manufacturing capabilities and technology-driven sales and service solutions.
We market and sell our products to remodeling contractors, builders, homeowners, retailers, dealers, lumberyards, commercial and general contractors and architects through well-established wholesale, retail and direct distribution channels as part of our cross-merchandising strategy. Customers are provided a broad product offering of interior and exterior doors and entry systems at various price points. We manufacture a broad line of interior doors, including residential molded, flush, stile and rail, louver and specially-ordered commercial and architectural doors; door components for internal use and sale to other door manufacturers; and exterior residential steel, fiberglass and wood doors and entry systems.
We operate 67 manufacturing and distribution facilities in 8 countries in North America, South America, Europe and Asia, which are strategically located to serve our customers through multiple distribution channels. These distribution channels include: (i) direct distribution to retail home center customers and homebuilders; (ii) one-step distribution that sells directly to homebuilders and contractors; and (iii) two-step distribution through wholesale distributors. For retail home center customers, numerous door fabrication facilities provide value-added fabrication and logistical services, including pre-finishing and store delivery of pre-hung interior and exterior doors. We believe our ability to provide: (i) a broad product range; (ii) frequent, rapid, on-time and complete delivery; (iii) consistency in products and merchandising; (iv) national service; and (v) special order programs enables retail customers to increase comparable store sales and helps to differentiate us from our competitors. We believe investments in innovative new product manufacturing and distribution capabilities, coupled with an ongoing commitment to operational excellence, provide a strong platform for future growth.
Our reportable segments are organized and managed principally by end market: North American Residential, Europe and Architectural. In the nine months ended September 29, 2019, we generated net sales of $1,107.2 million or 67.3%, $241.2 million or 14.7% and $279.3 million or 17.0% in our North American Residential, Europe and Architectural segments, respectively.
Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
Product Demand
There are numerous factors that influence overall market demand for our products. Demand for new homes, home improvement products and other building construction products have a direct impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Demand for our products may be impacted by changes in United States, Canadian, European, Asian or other global economic conditions, including inflation, deflation, interest rates, availability of capital, consumer
27

MASONITE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION


spending rates, energy availability and costs, and the effects of governmental initiatives to manage economic conditions. Additionally, trends in residential new construction, repair, renovation and remodeling and architectural building construction may directly impact our financial performance. Accordingly, the following factors may have a direct impact on our business in the countries and regions in which our products are sold:
the strength of the economy;
the amount and type of residential and commercial construction;
housing sales and home values;
the age of existing home stock, home vacancy rates and foreclosures;
non-residential building occupancy rates;
increases in the cost of raw materials or wages or any shortage in supplies or labor;
the availability and cost of credit;
employment rates and consumer confidence; and
demographic factors such as immigration and migration of the population and trends in household formation.
Additionally, the United Kingdom's ("UK") anticipated exit from the European Union ("EU") ("Brexit") has created uncertainty in European demand, particularly in the UK, which could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products in the foreseeable future. The anticipated exit has been postponed and the new deadline is currently January 31, 2020.
Product Pricing and Mix
The building products industry is highly competitive and we therefore face pressure on sales prices of our products. In addition, our competitors may adopt more aggressive sales policies and devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we do, which could result in a loss of customers. Our business in general is subject to changing consumer and industry trends, demands and preferences. Trends within the industry change often and our failure to anticipate, identify or quickly react to changes in these trends could lead to, among other things, rejection of a new product line and reduced demand and price reductions for our products, which could materially adversely affect us. Changes in consumer preferences may also lead to increased demand for our lower margin products relative to our higher margin products, which could reduce our future profitability.
On October 30, 2019, we communicated price increases that become effective on February 3, 2020, to our North American Residential customers that, for certain products, were significantly greater than our typical annual increases. We also communicated our intent to incrementally invest $100 million over the next five years in the areas of service and quality improvements, product innovation and end user marketing. While we believe that these initiatives are necessary in order to increase the profile of, and demand for, our products and that they will benefit both us and our customers, we cannot predict whether our efforts will ultimately be successful or how our customers will react to these initiatives which could have a material impact on our results of operations for future periods.
Business Wins and Losses
Our customers consist mainly of wholesalers and retail home centers. In fiscal year 2018, our top ten customers together accounted for approximately 44% of our net sales and our top customer, The Home Depot, Inc. accounted for approximately 18% of our net sales. Net sales from customers that have accounted for a significant portion of our net sales in past periods, individually or as a group, may not continue in future periods, or if continued, may not reach or exceed historical levels in any period. Certain customers perform periodic product line reviews to assess their product offerings, which have, on past occasions, led to business wins and losses. In addition, as a result of competitive bidding processes, we may not be able to increase or maintain the margins at which we sell our products to our customers.
Organizational Restructuring
Over the past several years, we have engaged in a series of restructuring programs related to exiting certain geographies and non-core businesses, consolidating certain internal support functions and engaging in other actions designed to reduce our cost structure and improve productivity. These initiatives primarily consist of severance actions and lease termination costs. Management continues to evaluate our business; therefore, in future years, there may be additional provisions for new plan initiatives, as well as changes in previously recorded estimates, as payments are made

or actions are completed. Asset impairment charges were also incurred in connection with these restructuring actions for those assets sold, abandoned or made obsolete as a result of these programs.
In February 2019, we began implementing a plan to improve overall business performance that includes the reorganization of our manufacturing capacity and a reduction of our overhead and selling, general and administration workforce across all of our reportable segments and in our head offices. The reorganization of our manufacturing capacity involves specific plants in the North American Residential and Architectural segments and costs associated with the closure of these plants and related headcount reductions began taking place in the first quarter of 2019 (collectively, the "2019 Plan"). Costs associated with the 2019 Plan include severance, retention and closure charges and will continue through 2020. Additionally, the plan to divest non-core assets was determined to be a triggering event requiring a test of the carrying value of the definite-lived assets relating to the divestitures, as further described in Note 13. As of September 29, 2019, we expect to incur approximately $8 million to $10 million of additional charges related to the 2019 Plan. Once fully implemented, the actions taken as part of the 2019 Plan are expected to increase our annual earnings and cash flows by approximately $14 million to $19 million.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, we began implementing a plan to reorganize and consolidate certain aspects of our United Kingdom head office function and optimize our portfolio by divesting non-core assets to enable more effective and consistent business processes in the Europe segment. In addition, in the North America segment we announced a new facility that will optimize and expand capacity through increased automation, which resulted in the closure of one existing facility and related headcount reductions which was completed in the second quarter of 2019 (collectively, the "2018 Plan"). Costs associated with the 2018 Plan include severance, retention and closure charges and will continue throughout 2019. As of September 29, 2019, we expect to incur approximately $1 million of additional charges related to the 2018 Plan. Once fully implemented, the actions taken as part of the 2018 Plan are expected to increase our annual earnings and cash flows by approximately $6 million.
Foreign Exchange Rate Fluctuation
Our financial results may be adversely affected by fluctuating exchange rates. In the nine months ended September 29, 2019, approximately 32% of our net sales were generated outside of the United States. In addition, a significant percentage of our costs during the same period were not denominated in U.S. dollars. For example, for most of our manufacturing and distribution facilities, the prices for a significant portion of our raw materials are quoted in the domestic currency of the country where the facility is located or other currencies that are not U.S. dollars. We also have substantial assets outside the United States. As a result, the volatility in the price of the U.S. dollar has exposed, and in the future may continue to expose, us to currency exchange risks. Also, since our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies have had, and will continue to have, an impact on many aspects of our financial results. Changes in currency exchange rates for any country in which we operate may require us to raise the prices of our products in that country or allow our competitors to sell their products at lower prices in that country. Unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from the translation of the financial statements of our non-U.S. functional currency operations are accumulated in the cumulative translation adjustments account in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Since the UK triggered Brexit, there has been instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets, including volatility in the relationship of the Pound Sterling to the U.S. Dollar. The average exchange rate of the Pound Sterling to the U.S. Dollar during the nine months ended September 29, 2019, was 6% lower than the average for the same period in 2018, which has impacted our net sales and net income in the Europe segment. Future volatility in the Pound Sterling could continue as the terms of the UK's anticipated exit from the EU remain uncertain. Currently, there is no withdrawal agreement in place for the UK to exit the EU that has been ratified by British Parliament. If the UK exits the EU without an agreement in place, it will likely create further uncertainty and currency volatility, which may increase the cost of goods imported into our UK operations or decrease the profitability of our UK operations. Additionally, since our financial statements are denominated in U.S. Dollars, volatility in the Pound Sterling affects our reported results of operations, balance sheet and cash flows. In the longer term, any impact from Brexit on our UK operations will depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, trade, regulatory and other negotiations.

Inflation
An increase in inflation could have a significant impact on the cost of our raw material inputs. Wage inflation, increased prices for raw materials or finished goods used in our products, tariffs and/or interruptions in deliveries of raw materials or finished goods could adversely affect our profitability, margins and net sales, particularly if we are not able to pass these incurred costs on to our customers. In addition, interest rates normally increase during periods of rising inflation. Historically, as interest rates increase, demand for new homes and home improvement products decreases.
Seasonality
Our business is moderately seasonal and our net sales vary from quarter to quarter based upon the timing of the building season in our markets. Severe weather conditions in any quarter, such as unusually prolonged warm or cold conditions, rain, blizzards or hurricanes, could accelerate, delay or halt construction and renovation activity.
Acquisitions and Disposition
We have pursued a strategic initiative of optimizing our global business portfolio. As part of this strategy, in the last several years we have pursued strategic acquisitions targeting companies who produce components for our existing operations, manufacture niche products and provide value-added services. Additionally, we target companies with strong brands, complementary technologies, attractive geographic footprints and opportunities for cost and distribution synergies. We also continuously analyze our operations to determine which businesses, market channels and products create the most value for our customers and acceptable returns for our shareholders.
Acquisitions
Top Doors: On August 29, 2019, we completed the acquisition of TOPDOORS, s.r.o. ("Top Doors") based in the Czech Republic for cash consideration of $1.6 million, net of cash acquired. Top Doors is a specialist manufacturer of door frames.
BWI: On November 1, 2018, we completed the acquisition of the operating assets of Bridgewater Wholesalers Inc. ("BWI") for cash consideration of $22.3 million, net of cash acquired. BWI is headquartered in Branchburg, New Jersey, and is a fabricator and distributor of residential interior and exterior door systems, supporting customers in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States. Their product offerings include residential interior and exterior doors, commercial doors and hardware as well as value added pre-finishing services.
Graham and Maiman: On June 1, 2018, we completed the acquisition of the operating assets of the wood door companies of AADG, Inc., including the brands Graham Manufacturing Corporation and The Maiman Company (collectively, "Graham & Maiman"). We acquired the operating assets of Graham & Maiman for cash consideration of $39.0 million. Graham & Maiman are based in Mason City, Iowa, and Springfield, Missouri. Graham & Maiman provide the non-residential construction industry with a full range of architectural premium and custom grade flush wood doors, architectural stile and rail wood doors, thermal-fused flush wood doors and wood door frames.
DW3: On January 29, 2018, we completed the acquisition of DW3 Products Holdings Limited ("DW3"), a leading UK provider of high quality premium door solutions and window systems, supplying products under brand names such as Solidor, Residor, Nicedor and Residence. We acquired 100% of the equity interests in DW3 for cash consideration of $96.3 million, net of cash acquired. DW3 is based in Stoke-on-Trent and Gloucester, England, and their online quick ship capabilities and product portfolio both complement and expand the strategies we are pursuing with our business.
Disposition
PDS: On March 21, 2019, we completed the sale of all of the capital stock of Performance Doorset Solutions Limited ("PDS") for nominal consideration. The disposition of this business resulted in a loss on deconsolidation of $4.6 million, which was recognized during the first quarter of 2019 in the Europe segment.

Net Sales
Net sales in the three months ended September 29, 2019, were $552.2 million, a decrease of $4.9 million or 0.9% from $557.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. Net sales in the third quarter of 2019 were negatively impacted by $4.9 million as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Excluding this exchange rate impact, net sales would have remained flat. Average unit price increased net sales in the third quarter of 2019 by $26.3 million or 4.7% compared to the 2018 period. Our 2018 acquisitions, net of dispositions, contributed $0.7 million or 0.1% of incremental net sales in the third quarter of 2019. Lower volumes excluding the incremental impact of acquisitions and dispositions ("base volume") decreased net sales by $24.2 million or 4.3% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the 2018 period. Net sales of components and other products to external customers were $2.8 million lower in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the 2018 period.

North American Residential
Net sales to external customers from facilities in the North American Residential segment in the three months ended September 29, 2019, were $373.9 million, an increase of $5.6 million or 1.5% from $368.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. Net sales in the third quarter of 2019 were negatively impacted by $0.9 million as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Excluding this exchange rate impact, net sales would have increased by $6.5 million or 1.8%. Average unit price increased net sales in the third quarter of 2019 by $16.3 million or 4.4% compared to the 2018 period. Our 2018 acquisition of BWI contributed $11.7 million or 3.2% of incremental net sales in the third quarter of 2019. Lower base volume decreased net sales in the third quarter of 2019 by $19.4 million or 5.3% compared to the 2018 period, due primarily to weak end market conditions. Net sales of components and other products to external customers were $2.1 million lower in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the 2018 period.
Europe
Net sales to external customers from facilities in the Europe segment in the three months ended September 29, 2019, were $76.0 million, a decrease of $15.2 million or 16.7% from $91.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. Net sales in the third quarter of 2019 were negatively impacted by $3.9 million as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations. Excluding this exchange rate impact, net sales would have decreased by $11.3 million or 12.4%. Our 2019 dispositions of two non-core businesses reduced net sales by $10.9 million or 12.0% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the 2018 period. Lower base volume decreased net sales by $3.9 million or 4.3% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the 2018 period, primarily due to share loss in the builder channel. Net sales of components and other products to external customers were $0.1 million lower in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the 2018 period. Average unit price increased net sales in the third quarter of 2019 by $3.6 million or 3.9% compared to the 2018 period.
Architectural
Net sales to external customers from facilities in the Architectural segment in the three months ended September 29, 2019, were $96.5 million, an increase of $4.4 million or 4.8% from $92.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. Net sales in the third quarter of 2019 were negatively impacted by $0.1 million as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations. Excluding this exchange rate impact, net sales would have increased by $4.5 million or 4.9%. Average unit price increased net sales in the third quarter of 2019 by $6.4 million or 6.9% compared to the 2018 period. Lower base volume decreased net sales in the third quarter of 2019 by $0.7 million or 0.8% compared to the 2018 period.

Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 77.3% and 80.1% for the three months ended September 29, 2019, and September 30, 2018, respectively. Material cost of sales and direct labor as a percentage of net sales decreased by 2.5% and 1.0%, respectively. Partly offsetting these decreases, overhead and depreciation as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of 2019 increased by 0.6% and 0.1%, respectively. Distribution costs in the third quarter of 2019 were flat as a percentage of sales compared to the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in material cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was driven by higher average unit prices, partly offset by an increase due to tariffs. Direct labor as a percentage of net sales decreased due to factory productivity initiatives. Conversely, overhead as a percentage of net sales was negatively impacted by lower volumes.
Selling, General and Administration Expenses
In the three months ended September 29, 2019, selling, general and administration ("SG&A") expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 14.0% compared to 11.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of 240 basis points.
SG&A expenses in the three months ended September 29, 2019, were $77.6 million, an increase of $13.1 million from $64.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. The overall increase was driven by an increase in personnel costs of $9.0 million, incremental SG&A from our 2018 acquisitions (net of dispositions) of $2.0 million and a $3.1 million increase in non-cash items in SG&A expenses, including share based compensation, depreciation and amortization, deferred compensation and loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment. These increases were partially offset by favorable foreign exchange impacts of $0.6 million and other decreases of $0.4 million. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to incentive compensation.
Restructuring Costs, Net
Restructuring costs in the three months ended September 29, 2019 were $2.0 million. There were no restructuring costs in the three months ended September 30, 2018. Restructuring costs in the current quarter were related to the 2019 and 2018 Plans.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, in the three months ended September 29, 2019, was $11.9 million, compared to $10.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase primarily relates to the issuance of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of additional 2026 Senior Notes on August 27, 2018.

Income Tax Expense
Our income tax expense in the three months ended September 29, 2019, decreased by $1.8 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to the mix of income or losses within the tax jurisdictions with various tax rates in which we operate, as well as an increase in discrete income tax benefits. We recognized discrete items resulting in income tax benefit of $0.8 million in the three months ended September 29, 2019, compared to $0.6 million of income tax benefit recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2018.

North American Residential
Net sales to external customers from facilities in the North American Residential segment in the nine months ended September 29, 2019, were $1,107.2 million, an increase of $1.4 million or 0.1% from $1,105.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net sales in the first nine months of 2019 were negatively impacted by $6.7 million as a result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Excluding this exchange rate impact, net sales would have increased by $8.1 million or 0.7%. Average unit price increased net sales in the first nine months of 2019 by $64.5 million or 5.8% compared to the same period in 2018. Our 2018 acquisition of BWI contributed $35.2 million or 3.2% of incremental net sales in the first nine months of 2019. Lower base volume decreased net sales by $85.6 million or 7.7% in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due primarily to weak end market conditions. Net sales of components and other products to external customers were $6.0 million lower in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
Europe
Net sales to external customers from facilities in the Europe segment in the nine months ended September 29, 2019, were $241.2 million, a decrease of $37.9 million or 13.6% from $279.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Net sales in 2019 were negatively impacted by $14.7 million as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations. Excluding this exchange rate impact, net sales would have decreased by $23.2 million or 8.3%. Net sales in the first nine months of 2019 were reduced by $22.6 million or 8.1% due to the net impact of acquisitions and dispositions, including lost sales due to the dispositions of two non-core businesses, partly offset by incremental sales from the DW3 acquisition. Lower base volume decreased net sales in the first nine months of 2019 by $6.3 million or 2.3% compared to the same period in 2018. Net sales of components and other products to external customers were $2.4 million lower in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.

2018 period. Higher base volume increased net sales in the first nine months of 2019 by $2.2 million or 0.9% compared to the 2018 period. Net sales of components and other products to external customers remained flat in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 77.7% and 79.3% for the nine months ended September 29, 2019, and September 30, 2018, respectively. Material cost of sales and direct labor costs as a percentage of net sales in the first nine months of 2019 decreased by 2.0% and 0.6%, respectively. Partially offsetting these decreases, overhead and depreciation as a percentage of net sales increased by 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively, compared to the 2018 period. Distribution costs in the first nine months of 2018 were flat as a percentage of sales compared to the first nine months of 2018. The decrease in material cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was driven by higher average unit prices, partly offset by increases due to inflation, including tariffs. Conversely, overhead as a percentage of net sales was negatively impacted by charges related to plant damages and factory start-up costs and lower volumes in the first nine months of 2019.
Selling, General and Administration Expenses
In the nine months ended September 29, 2019, selling, general and administration ("SG&A") expenses, as a percentage of net sales, were 14.2% compared to 12.5% the nine months ended September 30, 2018, an increase of 170 basis points.
SG&A expenses in the nine months ended September 29, 2019, were $233.8 million, an increase of $29.2 million from $204.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The overall increase was driven by an increase in personnel costs of $17.2 million, incremental SG&A from our 2018 acquisitions of $8.3 million (net of dispositions) and a $7.0 million net increase in non-cash items in SG&A expenses, including share based compensation, depreciation and amortization, deferred compensation and loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment. The increase in non-cash charges includes a $2.5 million charge directly related to the divestiture of a non-core business in the Europe segment. Also contributing to the increase were other increases of $2.1 million. These increases were partially offset by favorable foreign exchange impacts of $5.4 million. The increase in personnel costs was primarily due to incentive compensation and investments in resources in our Architectural segment to facilitate acquisition integration and support growth and the increase from our 2018 acquisitions was driven by personnel and amortization of intangible assets.
Restructuring Costs
Restructuring costs in the nine months ended September 29, 2019 were $7.1 million. There were no restructuring costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Restructuring costs in the current year were related to the 2019 and 2018 Plans.
Asset Impairment
Asset impairment charges in the nine months ended September 29, 2019, were $13.8 million. There were no asset impairment charges in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Asset impairment charges in 2019 resulted from actions associated with the 2019 Plan.
Loss on Disposal of Subsidiaries
Loss on disposal of subsidiaries in the nine months ended September 29, 2019 was $4.6 million. There was no loss on disposal of subsidiaries in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The loss in the current year was related to the sale of PDS for nominal consideration during the first nine months of 2019. The total charge consists of $3.6 million relating to the write-off of the net assets sold and other professional fees and $1.0 million relating to the recognition of the cumulative translation adjustment out of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, in the nine months ended September 29, 2019, was $34.4 million, compared to $28.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase primarily relates to the issuance of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Senior Notes on August 27, 2018.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
Loss on extinguishment of debt was $14.5 million in the nine months ended September 29, 2019, compared to $5.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Loss on extinguishment of debt in the current year related to the redemption of our senior unsecured notes due 2023. This charge represents the difference between the redemption price of our senior unsecured notes due 2023 of $514.1 million and the net carrying amount of such notes of $499.6 million. In addition to the $500.0 million of principal, the redemption price included a make-whole premium of $14.1 million and the net carrying amount included unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.5 million, partially offset by unamortized premiums of $3.1 million. Loss on extinguishment of debt in the prior year related to the partial redemption of our senior unsecured notes due 2023.
Other Income, Net of Expense
Other income, net of expense, in the nine months ended September 29, 2019, was $2.4 million compared to $1.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change in other income, net of expense, is primarily due to unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency remeasurements. Also contributing to the change were our portion of dividends and the net gains and losses related to our non-majority owned unconsolidated subsidiaries that are recognized under the equity method of accounting and other miscellaneous non-operating income net of expenses.
Income Tax Expense
Our income tax expense in the nine months ended September 29, 2019, decreased by $6.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to the mix of income or losses within the tax jurisdictions with various tax rates in which we operate, partly offset by a decrease in discrete income tax benefits. We recognized discrete items resulting in income tax benefit of $1.3 million in the nine months ended September 29, 2019, compared to $2.0 million of income tax benefit recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily attributable to the recognition of a deferred tax asset through reversal of valuation allowance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs for operations vary throughout the year. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities, the borrowings under our ABL Facility and accounts receivable sales program with a third party ("AR Sales Program") and our existing cash balance. Our anticipated uses of cash in the near term include working capital needs, capital expenditures and share repurchases. On a continual basis, we evaluate and consider strategic acquisitions, divestitures, and joint ventures to create shareholder value and enhance financial performance.
We believe that our cash balance on hand, future cash generated from operations, the use of our AR Sales Program, our ABL Facility, and ability to access the capital markets will provide adequate liquidity for the foreseeable future. As of September 29, 2019, we had $110.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, availability under our ABL Facility of $187.0 million and availability under our AR Sales Program of $14.6 million.
Cash Flows
Cash provided by operating activities was $138.4 million during the nine months ended September 29, 2019, compared to $140.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This $2.1 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities was due to a $1.8 million decrease in our net income attributable to Masonite, adjusted for non-cash and non-operating items and changes in net working capital in the first nine months of 2019 compared with the same period in 2018.
Cash used in investing activities was $59.1 million during the nine months ended September 29, 2019, compared to $188.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This $128.9 million decrease in cash used in investing activities was driven by a decrease in cash paid for acquisitions of $133.4 million, partially offset by a $4.3 million increase in cash additions to property, plant and equipment and a net increase in other investing outflows of $0.2 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
Cash used in financing activities was $84.1 million during the nine months ended September 29, 2019, compared to cash provided of $63.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This $147.5 million increase in cash used in financing activities was driven by a net increase in cash used for debt-related transactions of $186.0 million partially offset by a $36.1 million decrease in cash used for repurchases of common shares, a $2.1 million decrease in cash used for tax withholding on share based awards and a decrease in other financing outflows of $0.3 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.
Share Repurchases
We currently have in place a $600 million share repurchase authorization, stemming from three separate authorizations by our Board of Directors. On February 23, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program whereby we may repurchase up to $150 million worth of our outstanding common shares and on February 22, 2017, and May 10, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $200 million and $250 million, respectively (collectively, the "share repurchase programs"). The share repurchase programs have no specified end date and the timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by management based on our evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Any repurchases under the share repurchase programs may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The share repurchase programs do not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common shares, and they may be suspended or terminated at any time at our discretion. Repurchases under the share repurchase programs

MASONITE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION


are permitted to be made under one or more Rule 10b5-1 plans, which would permit shares to be repurchased when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so under applicable insider trading laws. During the nine months ended September 29, 2019, we repurchased and retired 1,148,815 of our common shares in the open market at an aggregate cost of $58.4 million as part of the share repurchase programs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we repurchased 1,464,700 of our common shares in the open market at an aggregate cost of $94.5 million. As of September 29, 2019, there was $145.6 million available for repurchase in accordance with the share repurchase programs.
Other Liquidity Matters
Our cash and cash equivalents balance includes cash held in foreign countries in which we operate. Cash held outside Canada, in which we are incorporated, is free from significant restrictions that would prevent the cash from being accessed to meet our liquidity needs including, if necessary, to fund operations and service debt obligations in Canada. However, earnings from certain jurisdictions are indefinitely reinvested in those jurisdictions. Upon the repatriation of any earnings to Canada, in the form of dividends or otherwise, we may be subject to Canadian income taxes and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. As of September 29, 2019, we do not believe adverse tax consequences exist that restrict our use of cash or cash equivalents in a material manner.
We also routinely monitor the changes in the financial condition of our customers and the potential impact on our results of operations. There has not been a change in the financial condition of a customer that has had a material adverse effect on our results of operations. However, if economic conditions were to deteriorate, it is possible that there could be an impact on our results of operations in a future period and this impact could be material.
Accounts Receivable Sales Program
We maintain an accounts receivable sales program with a third party (the "AR Sales Program"). Under the AR Sales Program, we can transfer ownership of eligible trade accounts receivable of certain customers. Receivables are sold outright to a third party that assumes the full risk of collection, without recourse to us in the event of a loss. Transfers of receivables under this program are accounted for as sales. Proceeds from the transfers reflect the face value of the accounts receivable less a discount. Receivables sold under the AR Sales Program are excluded from trade accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are included in cash flows from operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The discounts on the sales of trade accounts receivable sold under the AR Sales Program were not material for any of the periods presented and were recorded in selling, general and administration expense within the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Senior Notes
On July 25, 2019, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal senior unsecured notes (the "2028 Notes"). The 2028 Notes were issued in a private placement for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to buyers outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2028 Notes were issued without registration rights and are not listed on any securities exchange. The 2028 Notes bear interest at 5.375% per annum, payable in cash semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year and are due February 1, 2028. The 2028 notes were issued at par. We received net proceeds of $493.3 million after deducting $6.7 million of debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs were capitalized as a reduction to the carrying value of debt and are being accreted to interest expense over the term of the 2028 Notes using the effective interest method. The net proceeds from issuance of the 2028 Notes, together with available cash balances, were used to redeem the remaining $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes (as described below), including the payment of related premiums, fees and expenses.
        Subsequent to the closing of the 2028 Notes offering, the 2023 Notes were redeemed, and the notes were considered extinguished as of August 10, 2019. Under the terms of the indenture governing the 2023 Notes, we paid the applicable premium of $14.1 million. Additionally, the unamortized premium of $3.1 million and unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.5 million relating to the 2023 Notes were written off in conjunction with the extinguishment of the 2023 Notes. The resulting loss on extinguishment of debt was $14.5 million and is recorded as part of income from continuing operations before income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Additionally, the cash payment of interest accrued to, but not including, the redemption date was accelerated to the redemption date.

Obligations under the 2028 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain of our directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries. We may redeem the 2028 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after February 1, 2023, at the applicable redemption prices specified under the indenture governing the 2028 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. If we experience certain changes of control or consummate certain asset sales and do not reinvest the net proceeds, we must offer to repurchase all of the 2028 Notes at a purchase price of 101.00% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
The indenture governing the 2028 Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional debt and issue disqualified or preferred stock, (ii) make restricted payments, (iii) sell assets, (iv) create or permit restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to the parent company, (v) create or incur certain liens, (vi) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (vii) merge or consolidate with other entities and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates. The foregoing limitations are subject to exceptions as set forth in the indenture governing the 2028 Notes. In addition, if in the future the 2028 Notes have an investment grade rating from at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, certain of these covenants will be terminated. The indenture governing the 2028 Notes contains customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods). As of September 29, 2019, we were in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the 2028 Notes.
On August 27, 2018, we issued $300.0 million aggregate principal senior unsecured notes (the "2026 Notes"). The 2026 Notes were issued in a private placement for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to buyers outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2026 Notes were issued without registration rights and are not listed on any securities exchange. The 2026 Notes bear interest at 5.75% per annum, payable in cash semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year and are due September 15, 2026. The 2026 notes were issued at par. We received net proceeds of $295.7 million after deducting $4.3 million of debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs were capitalized as a reduction to the carrying value of debt and are being accreted to interest expense over the term of the 2026 Notes using the effective interest method. The net proceeds from issuance of the 2026 Notes were used to redeem $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes (as described in the footnotes to the condensed consolidated financial statements), including the payment of related premiums, fees and expenses, with the balance of the proceeds available for general corporate purposes.
Obligations under the 2026 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain of our directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries. We may redeem the 2026 Notes under certain circumstances specified therein. The indenture governing the 2026 Notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional debt and issue disqualified or preferred stock, (ii) make restricted payments, (iii) sell assets, (iv) create or permit restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to the parent company, (v) create or incur certain liens, (vi) enter into sale and leaseback transactions, (vii) merge or consolidate with other entities and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates.

The indenture governing the 2026 Notes contains customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods). As of September 29, 2019, and December 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants under the indenture governing the 2026 Notes.
On September 27, 2017, and March 23, 2015, we issued $150.0 million and $475.0 million aggregate principal senior unsecured notes, respectively (the "2023 Notes"). The 2023 Notes were issued in two private placements for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to buyers outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2023 Notes were issued without registration rights and are not listed on any securities exchange. The 2023 Notes bore interest at 5.625% per annum, payable in cash semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year and were due March 15, 2023. The 2023 Notes were issued at 104.0% and par in 2017 and 2015, respectively, and the resulting premium of $6.0 million was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2023 Notes using the effective interest method. We received net proceeds of $153.9 million and $467.9 million, respectively, after deducting $2.1 million and $7.1 million of debt issuance costs in 2017 and 2015, respectively. The debt issuance costs were capitalized as a reduction to the carrying value of debt and were being accreted to interest expense over the term of the 2023 Notes using the effective interest method. The net proceeds from

the 2017 issuance of the 2023 Notes were for general corporate purposes. The net proceeds from the 2015 issuance of the 2023 Notes, together with available cash balances, were used to redeem $500.0 million aggregate principal of prior 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2021 and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses. As of August 10, 2019, the 2023 Notes were fully redeemed, as described above.
ABL Facility
On January 31, 2019, we and certain of our subsidiaries amended and restated our asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility") in order to extend the maturity date of the ABL Facility and amend certain other provisions. The amended and restated ABL Facility increased the revolving commitments to $250.0 million from $150.0 million and extended the final maturity date to January 31, 2024, from April 9, 2020. The borrowing base is calculated based on a percentage of the value of selected U.S., Canadian and U.K. accounts receivable and inventory, less certain ineligible amounts. Obligations under the ABL Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in such accounts receivable, inventory and other related assets of Masonite and our subsidiaries. In addition, obligations under the ABL Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis, by certain of our directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries. Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at our opinion, (i) the U.S., Canadian or U.K. Base Rate (each as defined in the credit agreement relating to the ABL Facility, the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum, or (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate or BA Rate (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.50% per annum. In addition to paying interest on any outstanding principal under the ABL Facility, a commitment fee is payable on the undrawn portion of the ABL Facility in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the average daily balance of unused commitments during each calendar quarter.
The ABL Facility contains various customary representations, warranties and covenants by us that, among other things, and subject to certain exceptions, restrict Masonite's ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to: (i) pay dividends on our common shares and make other restricted payments, (ii) make investments and acquisitions, (iii) engage in transactions with our affiliates, (iv) sell assets, (v) merge and (vi) create liens. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended the ABL Facility to, among other things, (i) permit us to incur unlimited unsecured debt as long as such debt does not contain covenants or default provisions that are more restrictive than those contained in the ABL Facility, (ii) permit us to incur debt as long as the pro forma secured leverage ratio is less than 4.5 to 1.0, and (iii) add certain additional exceptions and exemptions under the restricted payment, investment and indebtedness covenants (including increasing the amount of certain debt permitted to be incurred under existing exceptions). As of September 29, 2019, and December 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement governing the ABL Facility and there were no amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility.
Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
As described above, obligations under the ABL Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the current assets of Masonite and our subsidiaries. In addition, our obligations under the 2023 Notes and the ABL Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of our directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries. The following unaudited supplemental financial information for our non-guarantor subsidiaries is presented:
Our non-guarantor subsidiaries generated external net sales of $491.9 million and $1.5 billion for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, and $490.4 million and $1.4 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries generated Adjusted EBITDA of $65.0 million and $189.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2019, and $59.5 million and $175.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Our non-guarantor subsidiaries had total assets of $2.0 billion and $1.8 billion and total liabilities of $853.5 million and $711.8 million as of September 29, 2019, and December 30, 2018, respectively.

Goodwill
We evaluate all business combinations for intangible assets that should be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested annually for impairment on the last day of fiscal November, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is performed at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount to its fair value. Possible impairment in goodwill is first analyzed using qualitative factors such as macroeconomic and market conditions, changing costs and actual and projected performance, amongst others, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the book value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. If it is determined more likely than not that the book value exceeds fair value, a quantitative analysis is performed to test for impairment. When quantitative steps are determined necessary, the fair values of the reporting units are estimated through the use of discounted cash flow analyses and market multiples. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, then goodwill is impaired. Any impairment in goodwill is measured by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation and comparing the notional goodwill from the fair value allocation to the carrying value of the goodwill.
During the fourth quarter of 2018, we performed our annual quantitative impairment test of goodwill for all of our reporting units, including the Architectural reporting unit, determining that goodwill was not impaired based upon the forecasts utilized in that test. While there was no identification of potential impairment at that time, it is possible that the estimate of discounted cash flows for the Architectural reporting unit may change in the near term based upon actual results and updated forward-looking forecasts, resulting in the need to write down goodwill to its fair value. While an interim impairment test of the Architectural reporting unit’s goodwill was not required during the nine months ended September 29, 2019, it is possible that such a test could be required during future interim periods.

We currently have in place a $600 million share repurchase authorization, stemming from three separate authorizations by our Board of Directors. On February 23, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program whereby we may repurchase up to $150 million worth of our outstanding common shares, and on February 22, 2017, and May 10, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $200 million and $250 million, respectively (collectively, the "share repurchase programs"). The share repurchase programs have no specified end date and the timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by management based on our evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Any repurchases under the share repurchase programs may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The share repurchase programs do not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common shares, and they may be suspended or terminated at any time at our discretion. Repurchases under the share repurchase programs are permitted to be made under one or more Rule 10b5-1 plans, which would permit shares to be repurchased when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so under applicable insider trading laws. As of September 29, 2019, $145.6 million was available for repurchase in accordance with the share repurchase programs.
