NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
About Griffon Corporation
Griffon Corporation (the “Company”, “Griffon”, "we" or "us") is a diversified management and holding company that conducts business through wholly-owned subsidiaries. Griffon oversees the operations of its subsidiaries, allocates resources among them and manages their capital structures. Griffon provides direction and assistance to its subsidiaries in connection with acquisition and growth opportunities, as well as divestitures. As long-term investors, we intend to continue to grow and strengthen our existing businesses, and to diversify further through investments in our businesses and acquisitions.
The Company was founded in 1959, is a Delaware corporation headquartered in New York, N.Y. and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:GFF).
Griffon conducts its operations through two reportable segments:
•Home and Building Products ("HBP") conducts its operations through Clopay Corporation ("Clopay"). Founded in 1964, Clopay is the largest manufacturer and marketer of garage doors and rolling steel doors in North America. Residential and commercial sectional garage doors are sold through professional dealers and leading home center retail chains throughout North America under the brands Clopay, Ideal, and Holmes. Rolling steel door and grille products designed for commercial, industrial, institutional, and retail use are sold under the Cornell and Cookson brands.
•Consumer and Professional Products (“CPP”) is a global provider of branded consumer and professional tools; residential, industrial and commercial fans; home storage and organization products; and products that enhance indoor and outdoor lifestyles. CPP sells products globally through a portfolio of leading brands including AMES, since 1774, Hunter, since 1886, True Temper, and ClosetMaid.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. As such, they should be read together with Griffon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, which provides a more complete explanation of Griffon’s accounting policies, financial position, operating results, business, properties and other matters. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of interim results. Griffon’s businesses are seasonal; for this and other reasons, the financial results of the Company for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information at September 30, 2024 was derived from the audited financial statements included in Griffon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Griffon and all subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in prior years may have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates may be adjusted due to changes in economic, industry or customer financial conditions, as well as changes in technology or demand. Significant estimates include expected loss allowances for credit losses and returns, net realizable value of inventories, restructuring reserves, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, assumptions associated with pension benefit obligations and income or

expenses, useful lives associated with depreciation and amortization of intangible and fixed assets, warranty reserves, sales incentive accruals, assumptions associated with stock based compensation valuation, income taxes and tax valuation reserves, environmental reserves, legal reserves, insurance reserves, the valuation of assets and liabilities of discontinued operations and the accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions Griffon may undertake in the future. Actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates.
NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The carrying values of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts and notes payable, and revolving credit and variable interest rate debt approximate fair value due to either the short-term nature of such instruments or the fact that the interest rate of the revolving credit and variable rate debt is based upon current market rates.
Applicable accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy requiring the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The accounting guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
•Level 1 inputs are measured and recorded at fair value based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
•Level 2 inputs include inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities.
•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
On June 30, 2025, the fair values of Griffon’s 2028 Senior Notes and Term Loan B facility approximated $971,120 and $451,564 , respectively. Fair values were based upon quoted market prices (level 1 inputs).
Insurance contracts with values of $4,959 at June 30, 2025 are measured and recorded at fair value based upon quoted prices in active markets for similar assets (level 2 inputs) and are included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
In the normal course of business, Griffon’s operations are exposed to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to inventory purchases. To manage these risks, Griffon may enter into various derivative contracts such as foreign currency exchange contracts, including forwards and options. As of June 30, 2025, Griffon entered into several such contracts in order to lock into a foreign currency rate for planned settlements of trade liabilities payable in U.S. Dollars.
At June 30, 2025, Griffon had $38,000 of Australian Dollar contracts at a weighted average rate of $1.51 which qualified for hedge accounting (Level 2 inputs). These hedges were all deemed effective as cash flow hedges with gains and losses related to changes in fair value deferred and recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and Prepaid and other current assets, or Accrued liabilities, until settlement. Upon settlement, gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) in Cost of goods and services ("COGS"). AOCI included deferred gains of $446 ($312 , net of tax) at June 30, 2025. Upon settlement, gains of $758 and $3,023 were recorded in COGS during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025. All contracts expire in 30 to 148 days.
At June 30, 2025, Griffon had $19,000 of Chinese Yuan contracts at a weighted average rate of $7.10 which qualified for hedge accounting (level 2 inputs). These hedges were all deemed effective as cash flow hedges with gains and losses related to changes in fair value deferred and recorded in AOCI and Prepaid and other current assets, or Accrued liabilities, until settlement. Upon settlement, gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive

Income (Loss) in COGS. AOCI included deferred gains of $16 ($12 , net of tax) at June 30, 2025. Upon settlement, losses of $295 and $903 were recorded in COGS during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. All contracts expire in 3 to 304 days.
NOTE 3 – REVENUE
The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations identified under the terms of contracts with its customers are satisfied. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a bundle of goods or services, to the customer, and is the unit of accounting. A contract with a customer is an agreement which both parties have approved, that creates enforceable rights and obligations, has commercial substance and with respect to which payment terms are identified and collectability is probable. Once the Company has entered into a contract or purchase order, it is evaluated to identify performance obligations. For each performance obligation, revenue is recognized when control of the promised products is transferred to the customer, or services are satisfied under the contract or purchase order, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services (the transaction price).
The Company’s performance obligations are recognized at a point in time related to the manufacture and sale of a broad range of products and components, and revenue is recognized when title, and risk and rewards of ownership, have transferred to the customer, which is generally upon shipment.
For a complete explanation of Griffon’s revenue accounting policies, this note should be read in conjunction with Griffon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024. See Note 13 - Reportable Segments for revenue from contracts with customers disaggregated by end markets, segments and geographic location.
NOTE 4 – ACQUISITIONS
Griffon continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit within its portfolio or expand its portfolio into new product lines or adjacent markets. Griffon has completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as business combinations, in which assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value as of the date of acquisition and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill. The operating results of business acquisitions are included in Griffon’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
On July 1, 2024, Griffon announced that its subsidiary, The AMES Companies, Inc., ("AMES") expanded the scope of its Australian operations by acquiring substantially all of the assets of Pope, a leading Australian provider of residential watering products, from the Toro Company (NYSE:TTC) for a purchase price of approximately AUD 21,800 (approximately $14,500 ) in cash. The purchase price was finalized and allocated to acquired intangibles, net of deferred taxes, of AUD 2,940 (approximately $1,960 ) and goodwill of AUD 2,640 (approximately $1,758 ), which was assigned to the CPP segment and is not deductible for income tax purposes. The purchase price was also allocated to inventory of AUD 16,132 (approximately $10,752 ), property, plant and equipment, net of AUD 1,289 (approximately $859 ) and accrued liabilities of AUD 1,194 (approximately $795 ).

NOTE 7 – CREDIT LOSSES
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. Trade receivables are recorded at their stated amount, less allowances for discounts, credit losses and returns. The Company’s expected loss allowance methodology for trade receivables is primarily based on the aging method of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of its customers. The allowances represent estimated uncollectible receivables associated with potential customer defaults on contractual obligations (usually due to customers’ potential insolvency), discounts related to early payment of accounts receivables by customers and estimates for returns. The allowance for credit losses includes amounts for certain customers in which a risk of default has been specifically identified, as well as an amount for customer defaults, based on a formula, when it is determined the risk of some default is probable and estimable, but cannot yet be associated with specific customers. Allowance for discounts and returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue and the provision related to the allowance for credit losses is recorded in SG&A expenses.
The Company also considers current and expected future economic and market conditions when determining any estimate of credit losses. Generally, estimates used to determine the allowance are based on assessment of anticipated payment and all other historical, current and future information that is reasonably available. All accounts receivable amounts are expected to be collected in less than one year.
Based on a review of the Company's policies and procedures across all segments, including the aging of its trade receivables, recent write-off history and other factors related to future macroeconomic conditions, Griffon determined that its method to determine credit losses and the amount of its allowances for bad debts is in accordance with the accounting guidance for credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, in all material respects.
The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts, including provisions for expected credit losses that is deducted from gross accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected:

NOTE 8 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, indicators of goodwill impairment were present for the Hunter Fan reporting unit within the CPP reportable segment, driven by a decrease in year-to-date and forecasted sales and operating results primarily due to ongoing weak consumer demand coupled with the impact of increased tariffs disrupting historical customer ordering patterns. As such, in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2025, we performed a quantitative assessment of the Hunter Fan reporting unit goodwill using both an income based and market-based valuation approach. This impairment test resulted in a pre-tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $136,612 The following table provides a summary of the carrying value of goodwill by segment as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, as follows:

(1) Accumulated impairment charges at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 were $250,612 and $114,000 , respectively.
(2) The increase is due to final purchase price allocation adjustments recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 related to the 2024 Pope acquisition.
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, indicators of impairment were present for our Hunter Fan indefinite-lived intangible asset as discussed above. As such, we determined the fair value of Hunter Fan's indefinite-lived intangible asset by using a relief from royalty method, which estimates the value of a trademark by discounting to present value the hypothetical royalty payments that are saved by owning the asset rather than licensing it. We compared the estimated fair values to their carrying amounts, resulting in a pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge of $107,000 to the carrying amount of Hunter Fan's trademark. There were no other indicators of impairment for the Company's remaining indefinite-lived intangible assets. The following table provides the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible assets:

(a) During 2020, Griffon issued, at par, $1,000,000 of 5.75 % Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”). Proceeds from the 2028 Senior Notes were used to redeem $1,000,000 of 5.25 % Senior Notes due in 2022. In connection with the issuance and exchange of the 2028 Senior Notes, Griffon capitalized $16,448 of underwriting fees and other expenses incurred, which is being amortized over the term of such notes. During 2022, Griffon purchased $25,225 of 2028 Senior Notes in the open market at a weighted average discount of 91.82 % of par, or $23,161 . As of June 30, 2025, outstanding 2028 Senior Notes due totaled $974,775 ; interest is payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1.
The 2028 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Griffon guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries, and subject to certain covenants, limitations and restrictions. The 2028 Senior Notes were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") via an exchange offer. The fair value of the 2028 Senior Notes approximated $971,120 on June 30, 2025 based upon quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs). At June 30, 2025, $5,386 of underwriting fees and other expenses incurred remained to be amortized.
(b) On January 24, 2022, Griffon amended and restated its Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to provide for a new $800,000 Term Loan B facility, due January 24, 2029, in addition to the revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") provided for under the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan B facility was issued at 99.75 % of par value. Since that time, Griffon prepaid $325,000 aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan B, which permanently reduced the outstanding balance. As of June 30, 2025, the Term Loan B outstanding balance was $451,000 .
On June 26, 2024, Griffon further amended its Credit Agreement to favorably reprice the Term Loan B facility. The amendment reduced the margin above Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") by 0.25 %, eliminated the credit spread adjustment and reduced the SOFR floor from 0.50 % to 0 %. In connection with the amendment, Griffon recognized a $1,700 loss on debt extinguishment primarily consisting of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount related to portions of the Term Loan B facility that were repaid and then reborrowed from new lenders. At June 30, 2025, $4,482 of costs incurred remained to be amortized.
The Term Loan B bears interest at the Term SOFR rate plus a spread of 2.25 % (6.58 % as of June 30, 2025). The Term Loan B facility continues to require nominal quarterly principal payments of $2,000 , potential additional annual principal payments based on a percentage of excess cash flow and certain secured leverage thresholds and a final balloon payment due at maturity. Term Loan B borrowings may generally be repaid without penalty. Once repaid, Term Loan B borrowings may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan B facility is subject to the same affirmative and negative covenants that apply to the Revolver (as described below), but is not subject to any financial maintenance covenants. Term Loan B borrowings are secured by the same collateral that secures borrowings under the Revolver, on an equal and ratable basis. The fair value of the Term Loan B facility approximated $451,564 on June 30, 2025 based upon quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs).
On August 1, 2023, Griffon amended and restated the Credit Agreement to increase the maximum borrowing availability under the Revolver from $400,000 to $500,000 and extend the maturity date of the Revolver from March 22, 2025 to August 1, 2028. In the event the 2028 Senior Notes are not repaid, refinanced, or replaced prior to December 1, 2027, the Revolver will mature on December 1, 2027. The amendment also modified certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement, including increasing the letter of credit sub-facility under the Revolver from $100,000 to $125,000 and increasing the customary accordion feature from a minimum of $375,000 to a minimum of $500,000 . The Revolver also includes a multi-currency sub-facility of $200,000 .
Borrowings under the Revolver may be repaid and re-borrowed at any time. Interest is payable on borrowings at either a SOFR, Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") or base rate benchmark rate, plus an applicable margin, which adjusts based on financial performance. Griffon's SOFR loans accrue interest at Term SOFR plus a credit adjustment spread and a margin of 2.00 % (6.43 % at June 30, 2025) and base rate loans accrue interest at prime rate plus a margin of 1.00 % (8.50 % at June 30, 2025).
At June 30, 2025, under the Credit Agreement, there was $37,500 in outstanding borrowings on the Revolver; outstanding standby letters of credit were $12,990 ; and $449,510 was available, subject to certain loan covenants, for borrowing at that date.

The Revolver has certain financial maintenance tests including a maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum senior secured leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants place limits on Griffon's ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, incur liens, and make restricted payments and investments. Both the Revolver and Term Loan B borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Griffon’s material domestic subsidiaries and are secured, on a first priority basis, by substantially all domestic assets of the Company and the guarantors.
(c) In November 2012, Garant G.P. (“Garant”), a Griffon wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a CAD 15,000 revolving credit facility, which expired in December 2024. In January 2025, Garant entered into a new CAD 20,000 revolving credit facility that matures in January 2026 but is renewable upon mutual agreement with the lender. The new facility accrues interest at Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") plus a credit adjustment spread and a margin of 1.2 % (4.25 % as of June 30, 2025). At June 30, 2025 there was no balance outstanding under the facility with CAD 20,000 ($14,640 as of June 30, 2025) available for borrowing. The facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Garant. Garant is required to maintain a certain minimum equity and a minimum interest coverage ratio.
During 2023, Griffon Australia Holdings Pty Ltd and its Australian subsidiaries (collectively, "Griffon Australia") amended its AUD 15,000 receivable purchase facility to AUD 30,000 . The receivable purchase facility was renewed as of March 2025 and now matures in March 2026, but is renewable upon mutual agreement with the lender. The receivable purchase facility accrues interest at Bank Bill Swap Rate plus 1.25 % (4.86 % at June 30, 2025). At June 30, 2025, there was no balance outstanding under the receivable purchase facility with AUD 30,000 ($19,617 as of June 30, 2025) available for borrowing. The receivable purchase facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Griffon Australia and its subsidiaries. Griffon Australia is required to maintain a certain minimum equity level.
(d) In February 2024, Griffon repaid in full a loan with the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority. The balance in other long-term debt consists primarily of finance leases.
At June 30, 2025, Griffon and its subsidiaries were in compliance with the terms and covenants of its credit and loan agreements.
NOTE 11 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND EQUITY COMPENSATION
During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company paid three quarterly cash dividends each for $0.18 four quarterly cash dividends each for $0.15 0.60 per share.
The Company currently intends to pay dividends each quarter; however, payment of dividends is determined by the Board of Directors at its discretion based on various factors, and no assurance can be provided as to the payment of future dividends. Dividends paid on shares in Griffon's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) were used to offset ESOP compensation expense. For all dividends, a dividend payable is established for the holders of restricted shares; such dividends will be released upon vesting of the underlying restricted shares.
The ESOP was frozen as of September 30, 2024; this means that, for plan years after this date, no additional employees will become participants under the ESOP and no new voluntary contributions will be made to the ESOP. Prior to this date, the Company’s U.S. employees who were not members of a collective bargaining agreement and met certain eligibility requirements became participants in the ESOP. During the first quarter ended December 31, 2024 the final loan payment was made by the ESOP to the Company and compensation expense for the period was fully offset by dividends paid. As of December 31, 2024 there were 4,166,038 shares of common stock in the ESOP, all of which were allocated to participant accounts.
On August 5, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share, payable on September 16, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 29, 2025.

On January 29, 2016, shareholders approved the Griffon Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Original Incentive Plan") pursuant to which, among other things, awards of performance shares, performance units, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, deferred shares and other stock-based awards may be granted. On January 31, 2018, shareholders approved Amendment No. 1 to the Original Incentive Plan pursuant to which, among other things, 1,000,000 shares were added to the Original Incentive Plan; on January 30, 2020, shareholders approved Amendment No. 2 to the Original Incentive Plan, pursuant to which 1,700,000 shares were added to the Original Incentive Plan; on February 17, 2022, shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Incentive Plan”), which amended and restated the Original Incentive Plan and pursuant to which, among other things, 1,200,000 shares were added to the Original Incentive Plan; and on March 20, 2024, shareholders approved an amendment to add 2,600,000 shares to the Amended Incentive Plan. Options granted under the Amended Incentive Plan may be either “incentive stock options” or nonqualified stock options, generally expire ten years after the date of grant and are granted at an exercise price of not less than 100 % of the fair market value at the date of grant. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for award under the Amended Incentive Plan is 8,850,000 (600,000 of which may be issued as incentive stock options), plus (i) any shares that were reserved for issuance under the Original Incentive Plan as of the effective date of the Original Incentive Plan, and (ii) any shares underlying awards outstanding on such date under the 2011 Incentive Plan that were subsequently canceled or forfeited. As of June 30, 2025, there were 1,889,293 shares available for grant.
Compensation expense for restricted stock and restricted stock units is recognized ratably over the required service period based on the fair value of the grant, calculated as the number of shares or units granted multiplied by the stock price on the date of grant, and for performance shares, including performance units, the likelihood of achieving the performance criteria. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur. Compensation expense for restricted stock granted to four senior executives is calculated as the maximum number of shares granted, upon achieving certain performance criteria or market conditions, multiplied by the stock price as valued by a Monte Carlo Simulation Model. Compensation cost related to stock-based awards with graded vesting, generally over a period of 3 years, is recognized using the straight-line attribution method and recorded within SG&A expenses.
The following table summarizes the Company’s compensation expense relating to all stock-based incentive plans:

NOTE 12 – EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)
Basic EPS (and diluted EPS in periods when a loss exists) was calculated by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS was calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus additional common shares that could be issued in connection with stock-based compensation.
The following table is a reconciliation of the share amounts (in thousands) used in computing earnings per share:

Griffon evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP measures, which are defined as income (loss) before taxes, excluding interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization, strategic review charges, non-cash impairment charges, restructuring charges, gain/loss from debt extinguishment and acquisition related expenses, as well as other items that may affect comparability, as applicable. Segment adjusted EBITDA also excludes unallocated amounts, mainly corporate overhead. Griffon believes this information is useful to investors for the same reason. The following table provides a reconciliation of segment adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) before taxes:

Issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This standard expands disclosures regarding a public entity’s reportable segments and requires additional information about a reportable segment’s expenses, interim segment profit or loss, and how a public entity’s chief operating decision maker uses reported segment profit or loss information in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The standard does not change the definition of operating segments. This standard is effective with the Company's fiscal year 2025. The standard should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosure. The standard requires significant additional disclosures focused on income taxes paid and the rate reconciliation table. Specifically, the amendments in the standard require the Company to disclose disaggregated: (1) income taxes paid by federal, state, and foreign, (2) continuing operations pre-tax income between domestic and foreign, and (3) continuing operations income tax expense by federal, state and foreign. The standard also requires the Company to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This standard is effective for the Company beginning with our fiscal year 2026, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential changes to its income tax disclosures and related impact on its financial reporting processes and information technology systems. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This guidance requires disclosures regarding specific information about certain costs and expenses, including but not limited to, inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and selling expenses. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning with the Company's fiscal year 2027 and interim reporting periods beginning with our 2028 fiscal year. Implementation of this standard may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 17 – RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
Griffon announced in May 2023 that CPP was expanding its global sourcing strategy to include long handled tools, material handling, and wood storage and organization product lines for the U.S. market. This initiative was successfully completed as of September 30, 2024, ahead of the previously announced date of December 31, 2024.
As a result of this global sourcing expansion initiative, manufacturing operations have concluded at four manufacturing sites and four wood mills, resulting in a total facility footprint reduction of approximately 1.2 million square feet, or approximately 15 % of CPP's square footage, and a headcount reduction of approximately 600 . The closed locations have met the held for sale criteria and have been classified as such on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. The net book value of these properties as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 totaled $5,289 and $14,532 , respectively.
The adoption of an asset-light business model for these U.S. products has positioned CPP to better serve customers with a more flexible and cost-effective sourcing model that leverages supplier relationships around the world, and improved its competitive positioning.
Implementation of this strategy over the duration of the project resulted in charges of $133,777 , which included $51,082 of cash charges for employee retention and severance, operational transition, and facility and lease exit costs, and $82,695 of non-cash charges primarily related to asset write-downs. In addition, there were $2,678 of capital investments to effectuate the project. This excludes cash proceeds from the sale of real estate and equipment, which at the conclusion of the project as of September 30, 2024 totaled $13,271 , and excludes future proceeds from the sale of remaining real estate and equipment designated as held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, cash proceeds related to the sale of the remaining real estate and equipment held for sale totaled $17,729 .
In the quarter ended June 30, 2024, CPP incurred pre-tax restructuring and related exit costs totaling $18,688 , which consisted of cash charges totaling $4,191 and non-cash, asset-related charges of $14,497 . The cash charges included $709 for one-time termination benefits and other personnel-related costs and $3,482 for facility exit costs. Non-cash charges of $14,497 were recorded to adjust inventory to its net realizable value.
In the nine months ended June 30, 2024, CPP incurred pre-tax restructuring and related exit costs approximating $33,489 , comprised of cash charges totaling $10,510 and non-cash, asset-related charges totaling $22,979 . The cash charges included $3,038 for one-time termination benefits and other personnel-related costs and $7,472 for facility exit costs. Non-cash charges of $22,979 were recorded to adjust inventory to its net realizable value.

NOTE 19 – WARRANTY LIABILITY
HBP and CPP offer warranties against product defects for periods generally ranging from to ten years , with limited lifetime warranties on certain door and fan models. Typical warranties require HBP and CPP to repair or replace the defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. At the time revenue is recognized, Griffon records a liability for warranty costs, estimated based on historical experience, and periodically assesses its warranty obligations and adjusts the liability as necessary. CPP offers an express limited warranty for a period of ninety days on all products from the date of original purchase unless otherwise stated on the product or packaging from the date of original purchase. Warranty costs expected to be incurred in the next 12 months are classified in accrued liabilities. Warranty costs expected to be incurred beyond one year are classified in other long-term liabilities. The short-term warranty liability was $10,706 as of June 30, 2025 and $13,050 as of September 30, 2024. The long-term warranty liability was $1,239

NOTE 21 — LEASES
The Company recognizes right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, with the exception of leases with a term of twelve months or less. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The ROU assets and short and long-term liabilities associated with our Operating leases are shown as separate line items on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant, and equipment, net, other accrued liabilities, and other non-current liabilities. The Company's finance leases are immaterial. ROU assets, along with any other related long-lived assets, are periodically evaluated for impairment.
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. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments primarily include rent and insurance costs (lease components). The Company's leases also include non-lease components such as real estate taxes and common-area maintenance costs. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component. In certain of the Company's leases, the non-lease components are variable and in accordance with the standard are therefore excluded from lease payments to determine the ROU asset. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. Our determination of the lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
For operating leases, fixed lease payments are recognized as operating lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases and impaired operating leases, the ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term, along with recognition of interest expense associated with accretion of the lease liability. For leases with a lease term of 12 months or less (a "Short-term" lease), any fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over such term, and are not recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Variable lease cost for both operating and finance leases, if any, is recognized as incurred. Components of operating lease costs are as follows:

NOTE 22 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal and environmental
Peekskill Site. Lightron Corporation (“Lightron”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Griffon, once conducted lamp manufacturing and metal finishing operations at a location in the Town of Cortlandt, New York, just outside the city of Peekskill, New York (the “Peekskill Site”). ISC Properties, Inc. (“ISCP”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Griffon, owned the Peekskill Site for approximately three years . ISCP sold the Peekskill Site in November 1982.
Based upon studies conducted by ISCP and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, soils and groundwater beneath the Peekskill Site contain chlorinated solvents and metals. Stream sediments downgradient from the Peekskill Site also contain metals. On May 15, 2019 the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") added the Peekskill Site to the National Priorities List under CERCLA and has since reached agreement with Lightron and ISCP pursuant to which Lightron and ISCP will perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”). Performance of the RI/FS is expected to be completed in 2025.
Lightron has not engaged in any operations in over three decades. ISCP functioned solely as a real estate holding company and has not held any real property in over three decades. Griffon does not acknowledge any responsibility to perform any investigation or remediation at the Peekskill Site. Lightron and ISCP are being defended by an insurance company, subject to a reservation of rights, and this insurer is paying the costs of the RI.
Memphis, TN site. Hunter Fan Company (“Hunter”) operated headquarters and a production plant in Memphis, TN for over 50 years (the “Memphis Site”). While Hunter completed certain on-site remediation of PCB-contaminated soils, Hunter did not investigate the extent to which PCBs existed beneath the building itself nor determine whether off-site areas had been impacted. Hunter vacated the site approximately twenty years ago, and the on-site buildings have now been demolished.
The State of Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (“TDEC”) identified the Memphis site as being potentially contaminated, raising the possibility that site operations could have resulted in soil and groundwater contamination involving volatile organic compounds and metals. In 2021, the TDEC performed a preliminary assessment of the site and recommended to the EPA that it include the site on the National Priorities List established under CERCLA. The TDEC further recommended that the EPA fund an investigation of potential soil gas contamination in receptors near the site. The TDEC has also indicated that it will proceed with this investigation if the EPA does not act. Since 2021, there has been no further action by the EPA or TDEC relating to the Memphis site.
It is unknown whether the EPA will add the Memphis Site to the National Priorities List, whether a site investigation will reveal contamination and, if there is contamination, the extent of any such contamination. However, given that certain PCB work was not completed in the past and the TDEC’s stated intent for the EPA to perform an investigation (and the statement by the TDEC that it will perform the investigation if the EPA will not), liability is probable in this matter. There are other potentially responsible parties for this site, including a former owner of Hunter; Hunter has notified such former owner of this matter.

If the EPA decides to add this site to the National Priorities List, a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) will be required. Hunter expects that the EPA will ask it to perform this work. If Hunter does not reach an agreement with the EPA to perform this work, the EPA will implement the RI/FS on its own. Should the EPA implement the RI/FS or perform further studies and/or subsequently remediate the site without first reaching an agreement with one or more relevant parties, the EPA would likely seek reimbursement from such parties, including Hunter, for the costs incurred.
General legal

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
BUSINESS
Overview
Griffon Corporation (the “Company”, “Griffon”, "we" or "us") is a diversified management and holding company that conducts business through wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company was founded in 1959, is a Delaware corporation headquartered in New York, N.Y. and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:GFF).
Business Strategy
Our strategic objective is to maintain leading positions in the markets we serve by providing innovative, branded products with superior quality and industry-leading service. We place emphasis on our iconic and well-respected brands, which helps to differentiate us and our offerings from our competitors and strengthens our relationship with our customers and those who ultimately use our products.
Through operating a diverse portfolio of businesses, we expect to reduce variability caused by external factors such as market cyclicality, seasonality, and weather. We achieve diversity by providing various product offerings and brands through multiple sales and distribution channels and conducting business across multiple countries which we consider our home markets.
Griffon oversees the operations of its subsidiaries, allocates resources among them and manages their capital structures. Griffon provides direction and assistance to its subsidiaries in connection with acquisition and growth opportunities as well as divestitures. As long-term investors, we intend to continue to grow and strengthen our existing businesses, and to diversify further through investments in our businesses and acquisitions.
Since 2017, we have undertaken a series of transformative transactions to strengthen our core businesses and increase shareholder value. We divested our specialty plastics business in 2018 and our defense electronics (Telephonics) business in 2022 to focus on our core markets and improve our free cash flow conversion. In our Home and Building Products ("HBP") segment, we acquired CornellCookson, Inc. ("CornellCookson") in 2018, which has helped establish us as a leading North American manufacturer and marketer of residential garage doors and sectional commercial doors, and rolling steel doors and grille products, under brands that include Clopay, Ideal, Cornell and Cookson. In our Consumer and Professional Products ("CPP") segment, we expanded the scope of our brands through the acquisition of Hunter Fan Company ("Hunter") in January 2022 and ClosetMaid, LLC ("ClosetMaid") in 2018.
On July 1, 2024, Griffon announced that its subsidiary, The AMES Companies, Inc., ("AMES") expanded the scope of its Australian operations by acquiring substantially all the assets of Pope, a leading Australian provider of residential watering products, from The Toro Company (NYSE:TTC) for a purchase price of approximately AUD 21,800 (approximately $14,500) in cash. This is CPP's seventh acquisition in Australia since 2013, and further expands AMES's product portfolio in the Australian market. Pope generated over $25,000 in revenue in its first full year of operations.
Further Information
Griffon posts and makes available, free of charge through its website at www.griffon.com, its Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as press releases, as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are published or filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The information found on Griffon's website is not part of this or any other report it files with or furnishes to the SEC.
For information regarding revenue, profit and total assets of each segment, see the Reportable Segments footnote in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reportable Segments:
Griffon conducts its operations through two reportable segments:
•Home and Building Products ("HBP") conducts its operations through Clopay Corporation ("Clopay"). Founded in 1964, Clopay is the largest manufacturer and marketer of garage doors and rolling steel doors in North America. Residential and commercial sectional garage doors are sold through professional dealers and leading home center retail chains throughout North America under the brands Clopay, Ideal, and Holmes. Rolling steel door and grille products designed for commercial, industrial, institutional, and retail use are sold under the Cornell and Cookson brands.
•Consumer and Professional Products (“CPP”) is a global provider of branded consumer and professional tools; residential, industrial and commercial fans; home storage and organization products; and products that enhance indoor and outdoor lifestyles. CPP sells products globally through a portfolio of leading brands including AMES, since 1774, Hunter, since 1886, True Temper, and ClosetMaid.

OVERVIEW
Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $613,627 compared to $647,814 in the prior year quarter, a decrease of $34,187 or 5%, due to the decreased revenue at CPP of 16%, partially offset by increased revenue at HBP of 2%. Net loss for the third quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $120,139 or $2.65 per share, compared to net income of $41,086, or $0.84 per share, in the prior year quarter.
The current year quarter results from operations included the following:
– Goodwill and intangible asset impairments of $243,612 ($217,154, net of tax, or $4.69 per share);
– Strategic review - retention and other of $1,033 ($773, net of tax, or $0.02 per share);
– Gain on sale of real estate of $122 ($90, net of tax, or $0.00 per share); and
– Discrete and certain other tax benefits, net, of $28,451 or $0.61 per share.
The prior year quarter results from operations included the following:
– Restructuring charges of $18,688 ($13,991, net of tax, or $0.29 per share);
– Strategic review - retention and other of $1,870 ($1,390, net of tax, or $0.03 per share);

– Loss on sale of real estate of $725 ($520, net of tax, or $0.01 per share); and
– Discrete and certain other tax provisions, net, of $2,247 or $0.05 per share.
Excluding these items from the respective quarterly results, net income would have been $69,247, or $1.50 per share in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $60,526, or $1.24 per share, in the prior year quarter.
Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,857,744 compared to $1,963,847 in the prior year period, a decrease of $106,103, or 5%, due to the decreased revenue at HBP and CPP of 2% and 11%, respectively. Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 was $7,474 or $0.16 per share, compared to $147,406, or $2.94 per share, in the prior year period.
The current year-to-date results from operations included the following:
– Goodwill and intangible asset impairments of $243,612 ($217,154, net of tax, or $4.63 per share);
– Strategic review - retention and other of $3,883 ($2,886, net of tax, or $0.06 per share);
– Gain on sale of real estate of $8,279 ($6,169, net of tax, or $0.13 per share); and
– Discrete and certain other tax benefits, net, of $28,626 or $0.61 per share.
The prior year-to-date results from operations included the following:
– Restructuring charges of $33,489 ($24,973, net of tax, or $0.50 per share);
– Strategic review - retention and other of $9,204 ($6,887, net of tax, or $0.14 per share);
– Loss on debt extinguishment of $1,700 ($1,292, net of tax, or $0.03 per share);
– Loss on sale of real estate of $167 ($105, net of tax, or $0.00 per share); and
– Discrete and certain other tax provisions, net, of $2,640 or $0.05 per share.
Excluding these items from the respective periods, net income would have been $192,719, or $4.11 per share in the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $183,303, or $3.66 per share, in the prior year period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three and Nine Months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Griffon evaluates performance and allocates resources based on each segment adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, which is defined as income (loss) before taxes, excluding interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization, unallocated amounts (mainly corporate overhead), strategic review charges, non-cash impairment charges, restructuring charges, gain/loss from debt extinguishment and acquisition related expenses, as well as other items that may affect comparability, as applicable. Griffon believes this information is useful to investors for the same reason. See table provided in Note 13 - Reportable Segments for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) before taxes.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, revenue decreased $40,217, or 16%, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by decreased volume of 19% due to reduced consumer demand across all geographic regions, except Australia, and disrupted historical customer ordering patterns in the U.S. due to increased tariffs. CPP benefited from price and mix of 2% and incremental revenue from the Pope acquisition contributed 1%. Foreign currency did not have a material impact on the current quarter revenue.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, adjusted EBITDA of $19,222 decreased $3,041 compared to $22,263 in the prior year quarter, primarily due to decreased revenue noted above, partially offset by the benefits from the U.S. global sourcing expansion initiative, improved margins across all geographic regions, and reduced administrative expenses. Foreign currency had a 1% unfavorable impact on the current quarter adjusted EBITDA.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, revenue decreased $87,929, or 11%, compared to the prior year period, driven by decreased volume of 13% due to reduced consumer demand across all geographic regions, except Australia, and disrupted historical customer ordering patterns in the U.S. due to increased tariffs. CPP benefited in Australia from increased organic volume and incremental revenue from the Pope acquisition contributed 3%. Foreign currency had a 1% unfavorable impact on the current nine month period revenue.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, adjusted EBITDA of $61,140 increased $13,217 compared to $47,923 in the prior year period, primarily due to the benefits from the U.S. global sourcing expansion initiative and increased volume in Australia, partially offset by the decreased revenue noted above. Foreign currency had a 2% unfavorable impact on the current nine month period adjusted EBITDA.
For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2025, segment depreciation and amortization remained consistent with prior year periods.
On July 1, 2024 Griffon announced that its subsidiary, AMES, expanded the scope of its Australian operations by acquiring substantially all the assets of Pope, a leading Australian provider of residential watering products, from The Toro Company (NYSE:TTC) for a purchase price of approximately AUD 21,800 (approximately $14,500) in cash. This is CPP's seventh acquisition in Australia since 2013, and further expands AMES’s product portfolio in the Australian market. Pope generated over $25,000 in revenue in its first full year of operations.
Unallocated
For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, unallocated amounts, excluding depreciation, consisted primarily of corporate overhead costs totaling $13,264 compared to $15,285 in the prior year quarter; and for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, unallocated amounts totaled $41,941 compared to $44,006 in the prior year period. The decrease in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to a decrease in Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) costs. The decrease in the current nine month period ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior year comparable period was primarily due to a decrease in ESOP costs, partially offset by an increase in stock based compensation expense.
Goodwill and intangible asset impairments
For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, indicators of impairment were present for the Hunter Fan reporting unit within the CPP reportable segment, driven by a decrease in year-to-date and forecasted sales and operating results primarily due to ongoing weak consumer demand coupled with the impact of increased tariffs disrupting historical customer ordering patterns. Accordingly, a quantitative assessment was performed, which resulted in a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge for Hunter Fan’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $136,612 and $107,000, respectively, recorded in the third fiscal quarter of 2025. See Note 8 - Goodwill and Other Intangibles.
Strategic review
During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred strategic review expenses of $1,033 ($773, net of tax) and $1,870 ($1,390, net of tax), respectively, and during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred strategic review expenses of $3,883 ($2,886, net of tax) and $9,204 ($6,887, net of tax), respectively, primarily for retention payments and other costs related to the strategic review process that concluded in April 2023.
37
Segment Depreciation and Amortization
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, segment depreciation and amortization of $15,678 increased $570 compared to $15,108 in the prior year quarter, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, segment depreciation and amortization of $46,683 increased $1,942 compared to $44,741 in the prior year period. The increase in both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, is primarily due to depreciation for new assets placed in service.
Other Income (Expense)
For the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, Other income (expense) of $247 and $350, respectively, includes $163 and $120, respectively, of net currency exchange transaction losses from receivables and payables held in non-functional currencies, net periodic benefit plan income (expense) of $302 and ($34), respectively, and net investment income (loss) of ($424) and $10, respectively. Other income (expense) also includes royalty income of $501 and $549 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, Other income (expense) of $2,591 and $1,608, respectively, includes $54 and $72, respectively, of net currency exchange transaction gains from receivables and payables held in non-functional currencies, net periodic benefit plan income (expense) of $902 and ($103), respectively, as well as ($370) and $95, respectively of net investment income (loss). Other income (expense) also includes royalty income of $1,647 and $1,649, for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Provision for income taxes
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $29,061 on a loss before taxes of $149,200, compared to a tax provision of $19,923 on income before taxes of $61,009 in the prior year quarter. The current year quarter results included goodwill and intangible asset impairments of $243,612 ($217,154, net of tax); strategic review costs - retention and other of $1,033 ($773, net of tax); gain on sale of real estate of $122 ($90, net of tax); and discrete and certain other tax benefits, net, that affect comparability of $28,451. The prior year quarter results included restructuring charges of $18,688 ($13,991, net of tax); strategic review costs - retention and other of $1,870 ($1,390, net of tax); loss on debt extinguishment of $1,700 ($1,292, net of tax); loss on sale of real estate of $725 ($520 net of tax); and discrete and certain other tax provisions, net, that affect comparability of $2,247. Excluding these items, the effective tax rates for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were 27.4% and 27.9%, respectively.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a tax provision of $19,383 on income before taxes of $26,857, compared to a tax provision of $62,318 on income before taxes of $209,724 in the comparable prior year period. The nine month period ended June 30, 2025 included goodwill and intangible asset impairments of $243,612 ($217,154, net of tax); gain on sale of real estate of $8,279 ($6,169, net of tax); strategic review - retention and other of $3,883 ($2,886, net of tax); and discrete and other tax benefits, net, that affect comparability of $28,626. The nine month period ended June 30, 2024 included restructuring charges of $33,489 ($24,973, net of tax); strategic review - retention and other of $9,204 ($6,887, net of tax); loss on debt extinguishment of $1,700 ($1,292, net of tax); loss on sale of real estate of $167 ($105, net of tax); and discrete and other certain tax provisions, net, that affect comparability of $2,640. Excluding these items, the effective tax rates for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were 27.6% and 27.9%, respectively.
Stock-based compensation
For the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, stock based compensation expense, which includes expense for both restricted stock grants and the ESOP, totaled $5,968 and $7,052, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, stock based compensation expense totaled $17,861 and $19,726, respectively. The decrease in expense for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior year periods was primarily due to a decrease in ESOP expense, partially offset by an increase in stock compensation expense driven by the timing of equity awards granted.
The decrease in the ESOP expense was due to the plan being frozen as of September 30, 2024 (meaning that, for plan years after this date, no additional employees will become participants under the ESOP and no new voluntary contributions will be made to the ESOP). Additionally, during the first quarter ended December 31, 2024 the final loan payment was made by the ESOP to the Company and compensation expense was fully offset by dividends paid. As of December 31, 2024 there were 4,166,038 shares of common stock in the ESOP, all of which were allocated to participant accounts.
38
Comprehensive income (loss)
For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, total other comprehensive income, net of taxes, of $12,446 included a gain of $12,244 from foreign currency translation adjustments primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro, British Pound and Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar, in comparison to the U.S. Dollar; and a $897 benefit from pension amortization, partially offset by a $695 loss on cash flow hedges.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, total other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, of $1,222 included a $927 loss on cash flow hedges and a loss of $827 from foreign currency translation adjustments primarily due to the weakening of the Euro and Canadian Dollar, all in comparison to the U.S. Dollar; partially offset by a $532 benefit from pension amortization.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, total other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, of $2,836 included a loss of $4,804 from foreign currency translation adjustments primarily due to the weakening of the Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the Euro and British Pound, all in comparison to the U.S. Dollar; partially offset by a $1,493 benefit from pension amortization; and a $475 gain on cash flow hedges.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, total other comprehensive income, net of taxes, of $4,357 included a gain of $2,212 from foreign currency translation adjustments primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro, British Pound and Australian Dollar, partially offset by the weakening of the Canadian Dollar, all in comparison to the U.S. Dollar; a $1,595 benefit from pension amortization; and a $550 gain on cash flow hedges.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, Griffon’s liabilities for discontinued operations primarily relate to insurance claims, income taxes, product liability, warranty and environmental reserves totaling $9,035 and $7,768, respectively. Griffon's assets for discontinued operations primarily relate to insurance claims. There were no reported revenue or expenses in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 for discontinued operations.
39
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Management assesses Griffon’s liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash to fund its operating, investing and financing activities. Significant factors affecting liquidity include cash flows from operating activities, capital expenditures, acquisitions, dispositions, bank lines of credit and the ability to attract long-term capital under satisfactory terms. Griffon believes it has sufficient liquidity available to invest in existing businesses and strategic acquisitions while managing its capital structure on both a short-term and long-term basis.
As of June 30, 2025, the amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries was $58,800. Our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds, except in limited circumstances, outside the U.S., and we do not currently anticipate that we will need funds generated from foreign operations to fund our domestic operations. The Company may repatriate cash from its non-U.S. subsidiaries if the Company determines that it is beneficial for the company and tax efficient. The Company has accrued a deferred tax liability for withholding taxes on previously taxed earnings and profit (PTEP) which are not considered permanently reinvested. In the event we determine that additional funds from non-U.S. operations are needed to fund operations in the U.S., we will be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these additional funds.
Griffon's primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations, cash on hand and our secured $500,000 revolving credit facility ("Revolver"), which matures in August 2028. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Company generated $282,481 of net cash from operating activities and, as of June 30, 2025, the Company had $449,510 available, subject to certain loan covenants, for borrowing under the Revolver. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $107,279 at June 30, 2025.
The following table is derived from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 was $282,481, compared to $307,938 in the prior year period. The variance was primarily driven by an increase in net working capital, mainly due to higher inventory levels and decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. This was partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable and an increase in cash generated from operations.
Cash flows used in investing activities is primarily comprised of capital expenditures and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, cash flows used in investing activities was $21,972 compared to $34,277 in the prior year period. Cash flows used in investing activities in the current period consisted of capital expenditures totaling $39,867, partially offset by proceeds of $17,895 primarily from the sale of real estate. In the prior year period, cash flows used in investing activities consisted of capital expenditures totaling $47,849, partially offset by proceeds of $13,572 from the sale of real estate.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, cash used in financing activities totaled $269,538 compared to $238,712 in the prior year period. Cash flows used in financing activities in the current period consisted of the purchase of shares of common stock in connection with the board authorized share repurchase program, including excise taxes, and from common stock withheld to satisfy tax obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock, totaling $161,709, net repayments of long-term debt of $76,117, primarily related to the Revolver, and the payment of dividends of $31,622. Cash flows used in financing activities in the prior year period consisted primarily of the purchase of shares of common stock in connection with the Board authorized share repurchase program and from common stock withheld to satisfy tax obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock totaling $241,501 and the payment of dividends of $28,770, partially offset by net proceeds from long-term debt of $32,773, primarily related to the Revolver.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, 583,893 shares, with a market value of $45,277, or an average of $77.54 per share, were withheld to settle employee taxes due upon the vesting of restricted stock, and were added to treasury stock. This amount excludes excise tax benefits of $528 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the Board of Directors approved and paid three quarterly cash dividends each for $0.18 per share. During fiscal 2024, the Board of Directors approved and paid four quarterly cash dividends each for $0.15 per share, totaling $0.60 per share. The Company currently intends to pay dividends each quarter; however, payment of dividends is determined by the Board of Directors at its discretion based on various factors, and no assurance can be provided as to the payment of future dividends.
On August 5, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.18 per share, payable on September 16, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 29, 2025.
On November 13, 2024, Griffon announced that the Board of Directors approved an additional increase of $400,000 to its share repurchase authorization. Under the authorized share repurchase program, the Company may, from time to time, purchase shares of its common stock in the open market, including pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan, pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase program or issuer tender offer, or in privately negotiated transactions. Share repurchases during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 totaled 1,611,454 shares of common stock, for a total of $113,125, or an average of $70.20 per share. This amount excludes excise taxes incurred for share repurchases of $1,112 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, $319,568 remained under the Board authorized repurchase program.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, cash used in discontinued operations from operating activities was $820 and $3,707, respectively, primarily related to the settling of certain liabilities and environmental costs.

During 2020, Griffon issued, at par, $1,000,000 of 5.75% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”). Proceeds from the 2028 Senior Notes were used to redeem $1,000,000 of 5.25% Senior Notes due in 2022. In connection with the issuance and exchange of the 2028 Senior Notes, Griffon capitalized $16,448 of underwriting fees and other expenses incurred, which is being amortized over the term of such notes. During 2022, Griffon purchased $25,225 of 2028 Senior Notes in the open market at a weighted average discount of 91.82% of par, or $23,161. As of June 30, 2025, outstanding 2028 Senior Notes due totaled $974,775; interest is payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1.
The 2028 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Griffon guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries, and subject to certain covenants, limitations and restrictions. The 2028 Senior Notes were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") via an exchange offer. The fair value of the 2028 Senior Notes approximated $971,120 on June 30, 2025 based upon quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs). At June 30, 2025, $5,386 of underwriting fees and other expenses incurred remained to be amortized.
On January 24, 2022, Griffon amended and restated its Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to provide for a new $800,000 Term Loan B facility, due January 24, 2029, in addition to the revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") provided for under the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan B facility was issued at 99.75% of par value. Since that time, Griffon prepaid $325,000 aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan B, which permanently reduced the outstanding balance. As of June 30, 2025, the Term Loan B outstanding balance was $451,000.
On June 26, 2024, Griffon further amended its Credit Agreement to favorably reprice the Term Loan B facility. The amendment reduced the margin above Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") by 0.25%, eliminated the credit spread adjustment and reduced the SOFR floor from 0.50% to 0%. In connection with the amendment, Griffon recognized a $1,700 loss on debt extinguishment primarily consisting of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount related to portions of the Term Loan B facility that were repaid and then reborrowed from new lenders. At June 30, 2025, $4,482 of costs incurred remained to be amortized.
41
The Term Loan B bears interest at the Term SOFR rate plus a spread of 2.25% (6.58% as of June 30, 2025). The Term Loan B facility continues to require nominal quarterly principal payments of $2,000, potential additional annual principal payments based on a percentage of excess cash flow and certain secured leverage thresholds and a final balloon payment due at maturity. Term Loan B borrowings may generally be repaid without penalty. Once repaid, Term Loan B borrowings may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan B facility is subject to the same affirmative and negative covenants that apply to the Revolver (as described below), but is not subject to any financial maintenance covenants. Term Loan B borrowings are secured by the same collateral that secures borrowings under the Revolver, on an equal and ratable basis. The fair value of the Term Loan B facility approximated $451,564 on June 30, 2025 based upon quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs).
On August 1, 2023, Griffon amended and restated the Credit Agreement to increase the maximum borrowing availability under the Revolver from $400,000 to $500,000 and extend the maturity date of the Revolver from March 22, 2025 to August 1, 2028. In the event the 2028 Senior Notes are not repaid, refinanced, or replaced prior to December 1, 2027, the Revolver will mature on December 1, 2027. The amendment also modified certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement, including increasing the letter of credit sub-facility under the Revolver from $100,000 to $125,000 and increasing the customary accordion feature from a minimum of $375,000 to a minimum of $500,000. The Revolver also includes a multi-currency sub-facility of $200,000.
Borrowings under the Revolver may be repaid and re-borrowed at any time. Interest is payable on borrowings at either a SOFR, Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") or base rate benchmark rate, plus an applicable margin, which adjusts based on financial performance. Griffon's SOFR loans accrue interest at Term SOFR plus a credit adjustment spread and a margin of 2.00% (6.43% at June 30, 2025) and base rate loans accrue interest at prime rate plus a margin of 1.00% (8.50% at June 30, 2025).
At June 30, 2025, under the Credit Agreement, there was $37,500 in outstanding borrowings on the Revolver; outstanding standby letters of credit were $12,990; and $449,510 was available, subject to certain loan covenants, for borrowing at that date.
The Revolver has certain financial maintenance tests including a maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum senior secured leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio, as well as customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. The negative covenants place limits on Griffon's ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, incur liens, and make restricted payments and investments. Both the Revolver and Term Loan B borrowings under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Griffon’s material domestic subsidiaries and are secured, on a first priority basis, by substantially all domestic assets of the Company and the guarantors.
In November 2012, Garant G.P. (“Garant”), a Griffon wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a CAD 15,000 revolving credit facility, which expired in December 2024. In January 2025, Garant entered into a new CAD 20,000 revolving credit facility that matures in January 2026 but is renewable upon mutual agreement with the lender. The new facility accrues interest at Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") plus a credit adjustment spread and a margin of 1.2% (4.25% as of June 30, 2025). At June 30, 2025 there was no balance outstanding under the facility with CAD 20,000 ($14,640 as of June 30, 2025) available for borrowing. The facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Garant. Garant is required to maintain a certain minimum equity and a minimum interest coverage ratio.
During 2023, Griffon Australia Holdings Pty Ltd and its Australian subsidiaries (collectively, "Griffon Australia") amended its AUD 15,000 receivable purchase facility to AUD 30,000. The receivable purchase facility was renewed as of March 2025 and now matures in March 2026, but is renewable upon mutual agreement with the lender. The receivable purchase facility accrues interest at Bank Bill Swap Rate plus 1.25% (4.86% at June 30, 2025). At June 30, 2025, there was no balance outstanding under the receivable purchase facility with AUD 30,000 ($19,617 as of June 30, 2025) available for borrowing. The receivable purchase facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of Griffon Australia and its subsidiaries. Griffon Australia is required to maintain a certain minimum equity level.
In February 2024, Griffon repaid in full a loan with the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority. The balance in other long-term debt consists primarily of finance leases.
At June 30, 2025, Griffon and its subsidiaries were in compliance with the terms and covenants of its credit and loan agreements.
Net debt to EBITDA (Leverage ratio), a non-GAAP measure, is a key financial measure that is used by management to assess the borrowing capacity of the Company. The Company has defined its net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio as net debt (total principal debt outstanding net of cash and equivalents) divided by the sum of trailing twelve-month (“TTM”) adjusted EBITDA
42
(as defined above) and TTM stock-based compensation expense. Net Debt to EBITDA, as calculated in accordance with the definition in the Credit Agreement, was 2.5x at June 30, 2025.
Capital Resource Requirements
Griffon's debt requirements include principal on our outstanding debt, most notably our Senior Notes totaling $974,775 payable in 2028 and related annual interest payments of approximately $56,058, a Term Loan B facility maturing in 2029 with an outstanding balance of $451,000 on June 30, 2025 and Revolver maturing in 2028 with an outstanding balance of $37,500. The Term Loan B accrues interest at the Term SOFR plus a spread of 2.25% (6.58% as of June 30, 2025). The Term Loan B facility continues to require nominal quarterly principal payments of $2,000, potential additional annual principal payments based on a percentage of excess cash flow and certain secured leverage thresholds, and a balloon payment due at maturity. The Revolver accrues interest on borrowings at either a SOFR, SONIA or base rate benchmark rate, plus an applicable margin, which adjusts based on financial performance. Griffon's SOFR loans accrue interest at Term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment and a margin of 2.00% (6.43% at June 30, 2025) and base rate loans accrue interest at prime rate plus a margin of 1.00% (8.50% at June 30, 2025).
Customers
A small number of customers account for, and are expected to continue to account for, a substantial portion of Griffon’s consolidated revenue. For the nine months ended June 30, 2025, our largest customer, The Home Depot, represented 10% of Griffon’s consolidated revenue, 9% of HBP’s revenue and 12% of CPP's revenue.
No other customer is expected to exceed 10% of consolidated revenue. Future operating results will continue to depend substantially on the success of Griffon’s largest customers and our ongoing relationships with them. Orders from these customers are subject to change and may fluctuate materially. The loss of all or a portion of the volume from any one of these customers could have a material adverse impact on Griffon’s liquidity and results of operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of Griffon’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in public disclosures of Griffon, including information regarding contingencies, risk and its financial condition. These estimates, assumptions and judgments are evaluated on an ongoing basis and based on historical experience, current conditions and various other assumptions, and form the basis for estimating the carrying values of assets and liabilities, as well as identifying and assessing the accounting treatment for commitments and contingencies. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates. There have been no changes in Griffon’s critical accounting policies from September 30, 2024.
Griffon’s significant accounting policies and procedures are explained in the Management Discussion and Analysis section in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024. In the selection of the critical accounting policies, the objective is to properly reflect the financial position and results of operations for each reporting period in a consistent manner that can be understood by the reader of the financial statements. Griffon considers an estimate to be critical if it is subjective and if changes in the estimate using different assumptions would result in a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of Griffon.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The FASB issues, from time to time, new financial accounting standards, staff positions and emerging issues task force consensus. See the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these matters.

identified as “forward-looking statements” and may be indicated by words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “supports,” “plans,” “projects,” “expects,” “believes,” "achieves", “should,” “would,” “could,” “hope,” “forecast,” “management is of the opinion,” “may,” “will,” “estimates,” “intends,” “explores,” “opportunities,” the negative of these expressions, use of the future tense and similar words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among others: current economic conditions and uncertainties in the housing, credit and capital markets; Griffon’s ability to achieve expected savings and improved operational results from cost control, restructuring, integration and disposal initiatives (including the expanded CPP global outsourcing strategy announced in May 2023); the ability to identify and successfully consummate, and integrate, value-adding acquisition opportunities; increasing competition and pricing pressures in the markets served by Griffon’s operating companies; the ability of Griffon’s operating companies to expand into new geographic and product markets, and to anticipate and meet customer demands for new products and product enhancements and innovations; increases in the cost or lack of availability of raw materials such as steel, resin and wood, components or purchased finished goods, including any potential impact on costs or availability resulting from tariffs; changes in customer demand or loss of a material customer at one of Griffon’s operating companies; the potential impact of seasonal variations and uncertain weather patterns on certain of Griffon’s businesses; political events or military conflicts that could impact the worldwide economy; a downgrade in Griffon’s credit ratings; changes in international economic conditions including inflation, interest rate and currency exchange fluctuations; the reliance by certain of Griffon’s businesses on particular third party suppliers and manufacturers to meet customer demands; the relative mix of products and services offered by Griffon’s businesses, which impacts margins and operating efficiencies; short-term capacity constraints or prolonged excess capacity; unforeseen developments in contingencies, such as litigation, regulatory and environmental matters; Griffon’s ability to adequately protect and maintain the validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; the cyclical nature of the businesses of certain of Griffon’s operating companies; possible terrorist threats and actions and their impact on the global economy; effects of possible IT system failures, data breaches or cyber-attacks; the impact of pandemics, such as COVID-19, on the U.S. and the global economy, including business disruptions, reductions in employment and an increase in business and operating facility failures, specifically among our customers and suppliers; Griffon’s ability to service and refinance its debt; and the impact of recent and future legislative and regulatory changes, including, without limitation, changes in tax laws. Additional important factors that could cause the statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or the actual results of operations or financial condition of Griffon to differ are discussed under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Special Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Griffon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024. Such statements reflect the views of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, as previously disclosed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. Griffon undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Griffon’s business activities necessitate the management of various financial and market risks, including those related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates and commodity prices.
Interest Rates
Griffon’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to variable interest rate debt and investments in cash and equivalents.
Griffon's amended and restated Credit Agreement references a benchmark rate with SONIA or SOFR. In addition, certain other of Griffon’s credit facilities have BBSY (Bank Bill Swap Rate) and CORRA (Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average) (based variable interest rate). Due to the current and expected level of borrowings under these facilities, a 100 basis point change in SONIA, SOFR, BBSY, or CORRA would not have a material impact on Griffon’s results of operations or liquidity.
Foreign Exchange
Griffon conducts business in various non-US countries, primarily in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand and China; therefore, changes in the value of the currencies of these countries affect Griffon's financial position and cash flows when translated into US Dollars. Griffon has generally accepted the exposure to exchange rate movements relative to its non-US operations. Griffon may, from time to time, hedge its currency risk exposures. A change of 10% or less in the value of all applicable foreign currencies would not have a material effect on Griffon’s financial position and cash flows.
45
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management's Quarterly Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of Griffon’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Griffon’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), were evaluated as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, Griffon’s CEO and CFO concluded that Griffon’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in Griffon’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Griffon’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Griffon believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all controls issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Griffon’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, carefully consider the factors in Item 1A to Part I in Griffon's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, as well as the updated risk factor titled "CPP is subject to risks from sourcing from international locations, especially China" appearing in Griffon's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, which could materially affect Griffon's business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in Griffon's Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing Griffon. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to Griffon or that Griffon currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect Griffon's business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans
During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, none of our directors or executive officers adopted terminated
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Griffon Corporation 2025 Retiree Medical Plan
On August 5, 2025, we approved a retiree medical arrangement (the "RMA") for each of Ronald J. Kramer, our Chief Executive Officer; Robert F. Mehmel, our President and Chief Operating Officer; Brian G. Harris, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and Seth L. Kaplan, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. To vest and qualify for benefits under the RMA, each executive must have age plus years of service equal to 72 or greater and must remain employed by Griffon for one year following approval of the RMA. Each of Messrs. Kramer, Mehmel, Harris and Kaplan will meet these vesting requirements in August, 2026. If, prior to vesting, an executive’s employment is terminated by Griffon without cause, by the executive for good reason, or due to the death or disability of the executive, the executive will immediately fully vest under the RMA.
Under the RMA, Griffon has agreed to provide coverage under its major medical plans for the executive and the executive’s spouse, following the executive’s retirement, for the life of the executive and the executive’s spouse (or, if such coverage cannot be provided, an equivalent benefit). Griffon will also be obligated to reimburse each executive up to $35,000 a year (indexed 3% a year for inflation, with the base year being 2025) for qualified medical expenses, incurred by the executive or the executive’s spouse, that are not covered by Griffon’s major medical plans (such as deductibles, co-payments, and out-of-network costs).
