BEACHWOOD, Ohio.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 4, 2026-- MasterBrand, Inc. (NYSE: MBC, the “Company,” or “MasterBrand”), the largest residential cabinet manufacturer in North America, today announced second quarter 2026 financial results.
“The second quarter marked an important milestone for MasterBrand. We completed our merger with American Woodmark, establishing the most comprehensive portfolio of trusted cabinetry brands in North America, while our legacy business delivered results largely in line with our outlook despite continued softness in demand,” said Dave Banyard, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With integration ahead of schedule, we remain confident that this combination positions MasterBrand to streamline our cost structure, unlock greater earnings power, and drive growth as our markets recover.”
Second Quarter 2026
Results for the second quarter include American Woodmark from the May 28, 2026 close date. Prior year comparisons reflect legacy MasterBrand only.
Net sales were $815.2 million, including a $125.5 million contribution from American Woodmark. Legacy MasterBrand net sales were $689.7 million, a decrease of 5.6% compared to the second quarter of 2025, reflecting a mid- to high-single-digit market decline, as expected, slightly offset by favorable net average selling price (“ASP”) due to the flow through of tariff pricing.
Gross profit was $205.5 million, with a contribution of $16.7 million from American Woodmark. Gross profit margin was 25.2%. Legacy MasterBrand gross profit was $188.8 million, compared to $239.7 million in the prior year period. Legacy gross profit margin decreased 540 basis points to 27.4%, compared to 32.8% in the second quarter of 2025, driven by lower volume and the related unfavorable fixed cost leverage, unfavorable product mix, and material, labor, and freight inflation, partially offset by our continuous improvement efforts and favorable ASP from tariff pricing flow-through.
Net (loss) income was $(57.6) million, with a contribution of $(28.9) million from American Woodmark and net (loss) income margin was (7.1)%. Legacy net (loss) income was $(28.7) million compared to $37.3 million in the second quarter of 2025 and net (loss) income margin was (4.2)%, compared to net income margin of 5.1% in the prior year, driven by lower gross profit and higher SG&A expenses, primarily due to merger-related costs, and a higher tax expense due to non-deductible expenses and jurisdictional differences, partially offset by the initial benefits of cost actions taken in the quarter.
- See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the corresponding financial tables at the end of this press release for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures.
Adjusted EBITDA was $62.5 million, including a $4.3 million contribution from American Woodmark. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 7.7%. Legacy MasterBrand adjusted EBITDA was $58.2 million compared to $105.4 million in the prior year period, and adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.4%, down 600 basis points due to market driven volume declines and the related unfavorable fixed cost leverage, unfavorable product mix, and material, labor, and freight inflation, partially offset by the flow through of tariff mitigation, our continuous improvement efforts and previously announced cost actions.
Diluted (loss) earnings per share were $(0.38) based on 153.6 million weighted average shares outstanding compared to $0.29 in the second quarter of 2025 based on 129.1 million weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.05 based on 153.6 million weighted average shares outstanding compared to $0.40 in the second quarter of 2025 based on 129.1 million weighted average shares outstanding.
American Woodmark Integration and Synergies
On May 28, 2026, MasterBrand completed its merger with American Woodmark, creating the most comprehensive portfolio of trusted cabinetry brands in North America. Integration of American Woodmark is underway, with approximately $30 million of annual synergy actions completed as of the end of July. The Company now expects over $100 million in annual run-rate cost synergies by the end of year three post-close, exceeding its original synergy target. This target excludes the previously announced $30 million legacy MasterBrand cost reduction initiative and American Woodmark's closure of its Monterrey, Mexico facility, both of which are incremental.
- See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the corresponding financial tables at the end of this press release for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation
As of June 28, 2026, the Company had $241.6 million in cash and $393.9 million of availability under its revolving credit facility. Additionally, total debt was $1,390.3 million, net debt was $1,148.7 million and the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA from the most recent trailing twelve months, inclusive of American Woodmark’s most recent trailing twelve-months adjusted EBITDA, was 3.9x. The Company's credit agreement permits the inclusion of trailing twelve-month adjusted EBITDA for American Woodmark and stock-based compensation, among other permitted adjustments, for covenant compliance purposes. The Company remained in full compliance with all applicable financial covenants related to its outstanding debt as of the end of the second quarter.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.8 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026, compared to $53.4 million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025. Free cash flow was $(17.6) million for the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026, compared to $25.5 million in the prior-year period. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow were driven by a decrease in net income in the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026 compared to the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025.
No share repurchases were made during the second quarter of 2026. The Company intends to prioritize integration investments and debt reduction and is currently targeting net leverage below 2.0x by the end of 2028.
Second-Half 2026 Financial Outlook
For the second half of 2026, the Company expects the following:
- Net sales of $2.05 to $2.11 billion
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $129 to $149 million, with related adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 6.3% to 7.1%
- Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $(0.05) to $0.03
- Reflects interest expense of approximately $50 million, reflecting the newly arranged $375 million delayed-draw Term Loan A used to retire American Woodmark's debt at close
This outlook reflects the combined company, with American Woodmark included for the full second half, and includes approximately $15 million of synergy capture and approximately $11 million of IEEPA duty refunds received and expected to be received over the period.
For full year 2026, MasterBrand is reiterating its expectation that its addressable market will be down mid-single digits. The Company now expects the following:
- Gross tariff costs of approximately 5-6% of full-year 2026 net sales; expected to be fully offset on a dollar-for-dollar run-rate basis by end of year
- The Company continues to expect free cash flow¹ for full-year 2026 to be in excess of net income
- See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the corresponding financial tables at the end of this press release for definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP measures.
- We have not provided a reconciliation of our second half of 2026 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted EPS guidance because the information needed to reconcile these measures is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred and which may be excluded from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted EPS. Additionally, estimating such GAAP measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation 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 used for historical non-GAAP measures.
This financial outlook only reflects the impact of those tariffs in effect as of the date of this release and does not reflect any other potential tariffs or tariff-related impacts on company costs or end market demand. The Company believes the dynamic nature of tariffs, specifically the uncertainty of implementation, potential timing and duration, limits the usefulness of estimating this information. MasterBrand undertakes no obligation to update this outlook as circumstances evolve. This outlook reflects the combined company including American Woodmark.
"Our teams continued to execute cost actions and tariff mitigation efforts while accomplishing early synergy realization from the combination," said Andi Simon, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "With the merger complete and integration planning continuing and converting to execution, we are introducing second-half 2026 outlook for the combined company. Our priorities from here are clear: disciplined execution on costs and synergies, and steady progress on the balance sheet."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) in this earnings release, certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules have been included. It is our intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of our financial information as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our methods of determining these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies for these or similar non-GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.
We use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share (“adjusted diluted EPS”), free cash flow, net debt, and net debt to adjusted EBITDA, which are all non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We evaluate the performance of our business based on income before income taxes, but also look to EBITDA as a performance evaluation measure because interest expense is related to corporate functions, as opposed to operations. For that reason, we believe EBITDA is a useful metric to investors in evaluating our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by removing the impact of non-operational results and special items from EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Adjusted net income is calculated by removing the impact of non-operational results, including non-cash amortization expense, which is not deemed to be indicative of the results of current or future operations, and special items from net income. Adjusted net income margin is calculated as adjusted net income divided by net sales. Adjusted diluted EPS is a measure of our diluted earnings per share excluding non-operational results and special items. We believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as they are representative of our core operations and are used in the management of our business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance.
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is a useful measure to investors because it is a meaningful indicator of cash generated from operating activities available for the execution of our business strategy, and is used in the management of our business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Net debt is defined as total balance sheet debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides a measure to compare debt less cash and cash equivalents across periods on a consistent basis. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is calculated by dividing net debt by the trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA. For periods impacted by an acquisition, trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA includes the full trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA of the acquired entity. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is used by management to assess our financial leverage and ability to service our debt obligations.
As required by SEC rules, detailed reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are included in the financial statement section of this earnings release. We have not provided a reconciliation of our fiscal 2026 second half adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted EPS guidance because the information needed to reconcile these measures is unavailable due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred, including restructuring and other charges, which are excluded from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted diluted EPS. 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 used for historical non-GAAP measures.

TICK LEGEND:
[1] Restructuring charges are nonrecurring costs incurred to implement significant cost reduction initiatives and may consist of workforce reduction costs, facility closure costs, cessation of operations and other costs to maintain certain facilities where operations have ceased, but which we are still responsible for. The restructuring charges for all periods presented primarily include costs related to workforce reductions, lease abandonment and asset disposals for facilities that have been closed, but not yet sold. During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026, the Company implemented a voluntary and involuntary separation program to reduce overall headcount, primarily in our corporate functions. As a result of the workforce reduction, the Company recorded $8.1 million of one-time termination benefits during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2026.
[2] Restructuring-related charges are expenses directly related to restructuring initiatives that do not represent normal, recurring expenses necessary to operate the business, but cannot be reported as restructuring under GAAP. The restructuring-related charges for all periods presented primarily include losses on disposal of inventories from exiting product lines, losses on the sale of facilities closed as a result of restructuring actions and costs resulting from the redeployment of equipment within the manufacturing footprint.
[3] Acquisition-related costs are transaction and integration costs, including legal, accounting and other professional fees, severance, stock-based compensation and other integration related costs. These charges are primarily recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs are significantly impacted by the timing and complexity of the underlying acquisition related activities and are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. The acquisition-related costs incurred in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026 are primarily associated with the acquisition of American Woodmark, which closed on May 28, 2026. Costs for both periods are comprised primarily of severance costs, including accelerated share-based compensation, and professional fees. The acquisition-related costs incurred in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 are associated with the acquisition of Supreme Cabinetry Brands, Inc., which was announced in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and closed early in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Costs for both periods are comprised primarily of professional fees.
Certain of the acquisition-related costs incurred are deemed non-deductible for U.S. tax purposes. The tax impact of these non-deductible acquisition-related costs was $2.0 million and $3.4 million for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026, respectively. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, all acquisition-related costs were deductible. These items are not deemed indicative of ongoing operations and have been excluded from the income tax impact of adjustments for the relevant periods.
[4] Recoveries related to insurance claims are excluded as they are not deemed indicative of future operations. The amount recognized in the twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2026 related to recoveries of costs from insurable events that occurred within the manufacturing footprint in 2025.
[5] We exclude the impact of actuarial gains and losses related to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan as they are not deemed indicative of future operations. In 2024, the Company made the decision to terminate our defined benefit pension plan. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, the Company recognized a settlement charge of $0.2 million related to the final valuation of the pension plan.
[6] Purchase accounting cost of products sold relates to the fair market value adjustment required under GAAP for inventory obtained in the acquisition of American Woodmark, $2.6 million of which was sold in the second quarter subsequent to the transaction close on May 28, 2026.
[7] We add back amortization of intangible assets in calculating adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS for all periods presented. Non-cash amortization expenses are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations.
[8] Change in effective tax rate represents catch-up tax expense recorded in the quarter to reflect a change in the estimated annual effective tax rate and is not indicative of future operating results. The Company determines its interim tax provision using an estimated annual effective tax rate methodology. In the second quarter, an updated full-year pretax income forecast resulted in a significant change to the estimated annual effective tax rate compared with the first quarter, which drove the catch-up tax expense recorded in the quarter. As a result of this adjustment, the sum of quarterly non-GAAP net income reported does not equal the year-to-date non-GAAP net income reported herein.
[9] In calculating adjusted net income, the tax effects of each of the adjustments described in Items [1] through [7] above have been reflected using an estimated annual effective income tax rate of 25.0 percent, which includes the impact of recurring permanent differences and state income taxes, but excludes discrete items. Discrete income tax items are adjusted in the period they are identified and may include, but are not limited to, changes in uncertain tax positions, return-to-provision adjustments, the tax effects of certain stock-based compensation, and changes in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Management believes this approach provides investors with a clearer understanding of the income tax provision and the estimated annual effective income tax rate applicable to the Company’s ongoing operations.
