DEERFIELD, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 3, 2026--Fortune Brands Innovations, Inc. (NYSE: FBIN) (“Fortune Brands” or the “Company”), an industry-leading home, security and digital products company, today announced third quarter 2026 results.

“Fortune Brands is in the early stages of a multi-year turnaround plan to get Back to Business. We are building from a strong foundation of brands that consumers and pros know and trust. Third quarter results were in line with our outlook excluding the tax and tariff benefits, but not where they need to be. Our biggest challenge has been our own execution, and we are taking aggressive steps to drive improvement,” said Fortune Brands Chief Executive Officer Jesse Singh.

“Service levels improved 10 percentage points in the third quarter, with fill rates in the high-90% range entering the fourth quarter. We have realigned the organization around customer-focused segments and expect to have more than 80% of our salaried workforce directly supporting a specific business by year end, up from roughly 40% at the start of the year. In addition, we have strengthened the leadership team with a new Chief Financial Officer, Chief Information Officer and Chief Legal Officer, and new leaders within each of our businesses. We remain on track for $70 million of annualized SG&A savings by the first quarter of 2027. We also entered into a purchase agreement to sell Fiberon, are exiting our commercial operations in China, which we expect to be completed by the third quarter of 2027 and are rationalizing the EMEA operating footprint of a business in our Water segment, which we expect to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2027. Together these businesses generate an annualized operating loss of approximately $50 million to $55 million on revenue of $320 million to $330 million.

“In the fourth quarter, we expect incrementally lower revenue, driven by three things: lower sales from the businesses involved in the portfolio optimization actions, incremental softening in single-family new construction, and a reduction in channel inventory. We are using this quarter’s net tax benefit to fund additional portfolio and alignment actions in the fourth quarter. The work ahead is substantial, but the opportunity is large: we have leading brands, customers and channel partners who want to win with us, and a team that is engaged and moving with urgency. I am confident that our actions will build a stronger, simpler and more customer-focused company that delivers consistent growth, margin expansion and shareholder value over the long term.”

1 Net tariff refunds include gross tariff refunds and interest income (for EPS only), partially offset by increases in directly attributable variable incentive compensation costs and taxes (for EPS only)
