Fortune Brands Innovations Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Results
DEERFIELD, Ill.--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE: FBIN or “Fortune Brands” or the “Company”), an industry-leading home, security and digital products company whose purpose is to elevate every life by transforming spaces into havens, today announced fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results.
“In the fourth quarter and for the full year, our team navigated a challenging external environment. I’m proud of the way we responded to the external uncertainty while still driving meaningful progress across our strategic initiatives,” said Fortune Brands Chief Executive Officer Nicholas Fink. “However, we are not satisfied with our current profitability, and we are identifying further opportunities to structurally improve our performance and return the business to the level of profitability we expect. This includes taking decisive actions to refine our cost structure, optimize our operations and improve efficiency in a market that we believe will continue to be challenging.”
"In 2025, we outperformed our end market, and we remain confident in our strategy and will continue to invest in growth - specifically in brand building, meaningful innovation, and investing in our people. We are committed to operating with discipline today while positioning the business to win for years to come, particularly when markets return to growth,” said Fink.

For certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures (as used in this press release, operating margin before charges / gains on a full Company and segment basis, EPS before charges / gains, and free cash flow), the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure because the information needed to reconcile the non-GAAP financial measure to the GAAP financial measure is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and / or amount of various items that have not yet occurred, including the high variability and low visibility with respect to gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans, which are excluded from EPS before charges / gains, and restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from operating margin before charges / gains and EPS before charges / gains. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Company’s accounting policies for future periods requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions.

Although we believe that these statements are based on reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those indicated in such statements, including but not limited to: (i) our reliance on the North American and Chinese home improvement, repair and remodel and new home construction activity levels, (ii) the housing market, downward changes in the general economy, unfavorable interest rates or other business conditions, (iii) the competitive nature of consumer and trade brand businesses, (iv) our ability to execute on our strategic plans and the effectiveness of our strategies in the face of business competition, (v) our reliance on key customers and suppliers, including wholesale distributors and dealers and retailers, (vi) risks relating to rapidly evolving technological change, (vii) risks associated with our ability to improve organizational productivity and global supply chain efficiency and flexibility, (viii) risks associated with global commodity and energy availability and price volatility, as well as the possibility of sustained inflation, (ix) delays or outages in our information technology systems or computer networks or breaches of our information technology systems or other cybersecurity incidents, (x) risks associated with doing business globally, including changes in trade-related tariffs (including recent U.S. tariffs announced or imposed on China, Canada, Mexico and other countries and any reciprocal actions taken by such countries) and risks with uncertain trade environments, (xi) risks associated with the disruption of operations, including as a result of severe weather events, (xii) our inability to obtain raw materials and finished goods in a timely and cost-effective manner, (xiii) risks associated with strategic acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures, including difficulties integrating acquired companies and the inability to achieve the expected financial results and benefits of transactions, (xiv) impairments in the carrying value of goodwill or other acquired intangible assets, (xv) risks of increases in our defined benefit-related costs and funding requirements, (xvi) our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and other labor constraints, (xvii) the effect of climate change and the impact of related changes in government regulations and consumer preferences, (xviii) risks associated with environmental, social and governance matters, (xix) potential liabilities and costs from claims and litigation, (xx) changes in government and industry regulatory standards, (xxi) future tax law changes or the interpretation of existing tax laws, and (xxii) our ability to secure and protect our intellectual property rights. These and other factors are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2024. We undertake no obligation to, and expressly disclaim any such obligation to, update or clarify any forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, new information or changes to future results over time or otherwise, except as required by law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), such as diluted earnings per share before charges / gains, operating income before charges / gains, operating margin before charges / gains, general and administrative expenses before charges/gains, net debt, net debt to EBITDA before charges / gains, net sales excluding the impact of China, free cash flow and cash conversion (defined as free cash flow divided by GAAP net income). These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP and may also be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these measures to the applicable most closely comparable GAAP measures, and reasons for the Company’s use of these measures, are presented in the attached pages.

Restructuring charges are primarily attributable to costs associated with the decision to consolidate our U.S. regional offices into one campus headquarters and related organizational and personnel changes, a product-line rationalization within our Outdoors segment and plant closures within our Water and Security segments, totaled $3.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended December 27, 2025 and $52.4 million for the fifty-two weeks ended December 27, 2025. Restructuring charges, which include costs incurred for product-line rationalization within our Outdoors segment, costs associated with the previously announced closure of a manufacturing facility within our Security segment and headcount actions across all segments, totaled $2.2 million and $16.2 million for the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2024, respectively.
Other charges/(gains) represent costs that are directly related to restructuring initiatives but cannot be reported as restructuring costs under GAAP. These costs can include losses from disposing of inventories, trade receivables allowances from discontinued product lines, accelerated depreciation due to the closure of facilities, gains or losses from selling previously closed facilities. During the thirteen weeks and fifty-two weeks ended December 27, 2025, total other charges were $12.0 million and $53.2 million. For the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2024, total other charges were $1.1 million and $25.8 million, respectively.

Definitions of Terms: Non-GAAP Measures
(a) Operating income (loss) before charges/gains is calculated as operating income derived in accordance with GAAP, excluding restructuring and other charges/gains. Operating income (loss) before charges/gains is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the returns generated by the Company and its business segments. Management believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
(b) Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations before charges/gains is calculated as income from continuing operations on a diluted per-share basis, excluding restructuring and other charges/gains. This measure is not in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the Company's overall performance and believes it provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's underlying performance from period to period. However, this measure may not be consistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
(c) EBITDA before charges/gains is calculated as income from continuing operations, net of tax in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other charges/gains, interest expense and income taxes. EBITDA before charges/gains is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to assess returns generated by the Company. Management believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions and repay debt and related interest. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
(d) At Corporate, other charges also include expenditures of $0.4 million in the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2024, respectively for external banking, legal, accounting, and other similar services directly related to our ASSA transaction.
(e) For the fifty-two weeks ended December 28, 2024, the amortization of inventory step-up associated with the acquisition of the ASSA business was $0.3 million within our Water segment.
(f) For the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 27, 2025, impairment charges of $3.5 million and $53.6 million were recorded related to the classification of certain assets to equal their fair value, less estimated costs to sell.
(g) For the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 27, 2025, we recognized $18.1 million and $21.1 million of losses, net of probable insurance recoveries, related to a fire at one of our manufacturing facilities within the Outdoors segment.
(h) For the fifty-two weeks ended December 27, 2025, professional fees incurred related to ongoing transformation initiatives was $3.0 million at Corporate.
(i) Free cash flow is cash flow from operations calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") less capital expenditures. Free cash flow does not include adjustments for certain non-discretionary cash flows such as mandatory debt repayments. Free cash flow is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that free cash flow provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions, repay debt and related interest, pay dividends and repurchase common stock. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
(j) Operating margin is calculated as the operating income in accordance with GAAP, divided by the GAAP net sales. The operating margin before charges/(gains) is calculated as the operating income, excluding restructuring and other charges/gains, divided by the GAAP net sales. The operating margin before charges/gains is not a measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses this measure to evaluate the returns generated by the Company and its business segments. Management believes that this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's underlying performance from period to period. However, this measure may not be consistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
(k) Cash conversion ratio is free cash flow divided by net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Cash conversion ratio is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that cash conversion ratio provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's ability to fund internal growth, make acquisitions, repay debt and related interest, pay dividends and repurchase common stock. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures by other companies.
(l) Net sales excluding the impact of China sales is net sales derived in accordance with GAAP excluding the impact of China sales. Management uses this measure to evaluate the overall performance of its segments and believes this measure provides investors with helpful supplemental information regarding the underlying performance of the Company and its reportable segments from period to period. This measure may be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies.
Additional Information:
For certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures (as used in this press release, operating margin before charges / gains on a full Company and segment basis, EPS before charges / gains, and free cash flow), the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure because the information needed to reconcile the non-GAAP financial measure to the GAAP financial measure is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and / or amount of various items that have not yet occurred, including the high variability and low visibility with respect to gains and losses associated with our defined benefit plans, which are excluded from EPS before charges / gains, and restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from operating margin before charges / gains and EPS before charges / gains. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Company’s accounting policies for future periods requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-GAAP measures are estimated consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions.
