NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
 
A.	In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its financial position as at March 31, 2013 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 was derived from audited financial statements.	
Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements. In the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, assets and liabilities related to the 2013 discontinued operations have been separately presented at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The results of operations related to the 2013 discontinued operations have been separately stated in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. In the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, cash flows from discontinued operations are not separately classified.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted new accounting guidance requiring disclosure of amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income. The adoption of this new guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or its results of operations.
 
B.	In the first quarter of 2013, the Company determined that Tvilum, its Danish ready-to-assemble cabinet business, is no longer core to its long-term growth strategy and, accordingly, the Company has embarked on a plan for disposition. The Company has accounted for this business and those which were sold in 2012 as discontinued operations.	
Selected financial information for the discontinued operations, during the period owned by the Company, was as follows, in millions:

 	  	Three Months Ended	 	
 	  	March 31,	 	
 	  	2013	 	 	2012	 	
Net Sales	  	$	59	  	 	$	89	  	
	  	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Operating loss from discontinued operations	  	$	(3	) 	 	$	(11	) 	
Impairment of assets	  	 	(10	) 	 	 	—  	  	
Loss on disposal of discontinued operations, net	  	 	—  	  	 	 	(1	) 	
	  	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Loss before income tax	  	 	(13	) 	 	 	(12	) 	
Income tax benefit	  	 	(4	) 	 	 	(3	) 	
	  	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Loss from discontinued operations	  	$	(9	) 	 	$	(9	) 	
	  	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Included in impairment of assets in 2013 is the impairment of fixed assets held for sale. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company estimated the fair value of the business held for sale, using unobservable inputs (Level 3). After considering the deferred gains reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, the Company recorded an impairment of $10 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Note E – concluded:
The fair value of the auction rate securities held by the Company have been estimated, on a recurring basis, using a discounted cash flow model (Level 3 input). The significant inputs in the discounted cash flow model used to value the auction rate securities include the expected maturity date of auction rate securities, discount rate used to determine the present value of expected cash flows and the assumptions for credit defaults, since the auction rate securities are backed by credit default swap agreements.
The following table summarizes the changes in Level 3 financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, in millions:

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not measure any financial investments at fair value on a non-recurring basis, as there was no other-than-temporary decline in the estimated value of private equity funds.
The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets in the three months ended March 31, 2013 or 2012.
Realized Gains. Income from financial investments net, included in other, net, within other income (expense), net, was as follows, in millions:

The fair value of the Company’s short-term and long-term fixed-rate debt instruments is based principally upon modeled market prices for the same or similar issues or the current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt at March 31, 2013 was approximately $4.0 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.6 billion. The aggregate estimated market value of short-term and long-term debt at December 31, 2012 was approximately $4.0 billion, compared with the aggregate carrying value of $3.6 billion.

F.	The Company is exposed to global market risk as part of its normal daily business activities. To manage these risks, the Company enters into various derivative contracts. These contracts include interest rate swap agreements, foreign currency exchange contracts and contracts intended to hedge the Company’s exposure to copper and zinc. The Company reviews its hedging program, derivative positions and overall risk management on a regular basis.	
Interest Rate Swap Agreements. In March 2012, in connection with the issuance of $400 million of debt, the Company terminated the interest rate swap hedge relationships that it entered into in August 2011. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and effectively fixed interest rates on the forecasted debt issuance to variable rates based on 3-month LIBOR. Upon termination, the ineffective portion of the cash flow hedges of approximately $2 million loss was recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of income in other, net. The remaining loss of approximately $23 million from the termination of these swaps is being amortized as an increase to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt, through March 2022. At March 31, 2013, the balance remaining in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income was $21 million.
In the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recognized a net decrease in interest expense of $3 million resulting from the amortization of net gains related to the terminations (in 2012, 2008 and 2004) of the interest rate swap agreements.
Foreign Currency Contracts. The Company’s net cash inflows and outflows exposed to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates arise from the sale of products in countries other than the manufacturing source, foreign currency denominated supplier payments, debt and other payables, and investments in subsidiaries. To mitigate this risk during 2013 and 2012, the Company, including certain European operations, entered into foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency exchange contracts.
Gains (losses) related to foreign currency forward and exchange contracts are recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense), net. In the event that the counterparties fail to meet the terms of the foreign currency forward contracts, the Company’s exposure is limited to the aggregate foreign currency rate differential with such institutions.
Metal Contracts. During 2013 and 2012, the Company entered into several contracts to manage its exposure to increases in the price of copper and zinc. Gains (losses) related to these contracts are recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations in cost of sales.
The pre-tax gain (loss) included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations is as follows, in millions:

H.	On March 28, 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with a bank group, with an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion and a maturity date of March 28, 2018. Upon entry into the New Credit Agreement, the Company’s credit agreement dated as of June 21, 2010, as amended, with an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion, was terminated.	
The New Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility available to the Company and one of its foreign subsidiaries, in U.S. dollars, European euros and certain other currencies. Borrowings under the revolver denominated in euros are limited to $500 million, equivalent. The Company can also borrow swingline loans up to $150 million and obtain letters of credit of up to $250 million; any outstanding Letters of Credit reduce the Company’s borrowing capacity. At March 31, 2013, the Company had $78 million of outstanding and unused Letters of Credit, reducing the Company’s borrowing capacity by such amount.
Revolving credit loans bear interest under the New Credit Agreement, at the Company’s option, at (A) a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) LIBOR plus 1.0% (the “Alternative Base Rate”); plus an applicable margin based upon the then applicable corporate credit ratings of the Company; or (B) LIBOR plus an applicable margin based upon the then applicable corporate credit ratings of the Company. The foreign currency revolving credit loans bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin based upon the then applicable corporate credit ratings of the Company.
The New Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain (A) a maximum debt to total capitalization ratio, as adjusted for certain items, of 65 percent, and (B) a minimum interest coverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, equal to or greater than 2.5 to 1.0. The debt to total capitalization ratio allows the add-back, if incurred, of up to the first $250 million of certain non-cash charges, including goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, occurring from and after January 1, 2012 that would negatively impact shareholders’ equity.
Based on the limitations of the debt to total capitalization ratio covenant in the New Credit Agreement, at March 31, 2013, the Company had additional borrowing capacity, subject to availability, of up to $858 million. Additionally, at March 31, 2013, the Company could absorb a reduction to shareholders’ equity of approximately $462 million and remain in compliance with the debt to total capitalization covenant.
In order for the Company to borrow under the New Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in the Company’s covenants in the New Credit Agreement (i.e., in addition to the two financial covenants, principally limitations on subsidiary debt, negative pledge restrictions, legal compliance requirements and maintenance of properties and insurance) and the Company’s representations and warranties in the New Credit Agreement must be true in all material respects on the date of borrowing (i.e., principally no material adverse change or litigation likely to result in a material adverse change, since December 31, 2012, in each case, no material ERISA or environmental non-compliance and no material tax deficiency). The Company was in compliance with all covenants and no borrowings have been made at March 31, 2013.

Long-Term Stock Awards. Long-term stock awards are granted to key employees and non-employee Directors of the Company and do not cause net share dilution inasmuch as the Company continues the practice of repurchasing and retiring an equal number of shares in the open market. The Company granted 1,570,020 shares of long-term stock awards in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Stock Options. Stock options are granted to key employees of the Company. The exercise price equals the market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. These options generally become exercisable (vest ratably) over five years beginning on the first anniversary from the date of grant and expire no later than 10 years after the grant date.
The Company granted 869,000 of stock option shares in the three months ended March 31, 2013 with a grant date exercise price approximating $20 per share. In the first three months of 2013, 453,070 stock option shares were forfeited (including options that expired unexercised).

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company allocated dividends to the unvested restricted stock awards (participating securities).
Additionally, 15 million and 30 million common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share due to their antidilutive effect.
In the first three months of 2013, the Company granted 1.6 million shares of long-term stock awards. To offset the dilutive impact of these awards and awards granted in late 2012, the Company repurchased and retired 1.7 million shares of Company common stock, for cash aggregating approximately $35 million. At March 31, 2013, the Company had 22.6 million shares of its common stock remaining under the July 2007 Board of Directors’ repurchase authorization.
On the basis of amounts paid (declared), cash dividends per common share were $.075 ($.075) and $.075 ($.075), respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

O.	We are subject to claims, charges, litigation and other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, including those arising from or related to contractual matters, intellectual property, personal injury, environmental matters, product liability, product recalls, construction defect, insurance coverage, personnel and employment disputes and other matters, including class actions. We believe we have adequate defenses in these matters and that the outcome of these matters is not likely to have a material adverse effect on us. However, there is no assurance that we will prevail in these matters, and we could in the future incur judgments, enter into settlements of claims or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of these matters, which could materially impact our results of operations.	
 
P.	The effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2013 was 18 percent primarily due to a decrease in the valuation allowance resulting from the partial utilization of our U.S. Federal net operating loss carryforward and from a $12 million state income tax benefit on uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions.	
As a result of tax audit closings, settlements and expiration of applicable statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions within the next 12 months, the Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the liability for uncertain tax positions could be reduced by approximately $3 million.

NET SALES
Net sales increased four percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 from the comparable period of 2012. There was no net impact of currency translation in the first quarter of 2013. The following table reconciles reported net sales to net sales, excluding acquisitions and the effect of currency translation, in millions:

North American net sales increased six percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 from the comparable period of 2012 due to increased sales volume of cabinets, installation and other services, plumbing products and windows. Net sales were also positively affected by selling price increases, which increased sales by two percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 from the comparable period of 2012. Such increases were partially offset by a less favorable product mix related to cabinets and plumbing products, as well as lower sales volume of paints and stains which decreased sales by one percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 from the comparable period of 2012.
In local currencies and in U.S. dollars, net sales from International operations decreased two percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in local currency sales in the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 is primarily due to lower sales volume of International plumbing products, cabinets and windows, partially offset by increased selling prices.
Net sales of Cabinets and Related Products increased for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 due to increased sales volume and selling prices of North American cabinets, which increased sales by 11 percent from the comparable period of 2012, partially offset by a less favorable product mix of North American cabinets, which decreased sales by seven percent from the comparable period of 2012.
Net sales of Plumbing Products increased due to increased sales volume of North American operations, which increased sales by four percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 from the comparable period of 2012, partially offset by lower sales volume of international operations.
Net sales of Installation and Other Services increased for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to increased sales volume related to a higher level of activity in the new home construction market as well as increased selling prices.
Net sales of Decorative Architectural Products decreased for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, principally due to lower sales volume of paints and stains.

Item 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS	
 
Net sales of Other Specialty Products increased for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 due to higher sales volume of North American windows. This segment was negatively affected by lower sales volume of U.K. windows and staple guns and other fastening tools in the same period of 2013 compared to 2012.
OPERATING MARGINS
Our gross profit margins were 27.1 percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 compared with 26.8 percent for the comparable period of 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, were 20.0 percent for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, compared to 20.8 percent for the comparable period of 2012.
Gross profit margins for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013 were positively affected by increased sales volume and a more favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales, in the first quarter of 2013 is due to increased sales volume.
We have been focused on the strategic rationalization of our businesses, including business consolidations, plant closures, headcount reductions, system implementations and other initiatives. Operating profit for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 includes $8 million and $11 million, respectively, of costs and charges related to our business rationalizations and other initiatives.
Operating margins in the Cabinets and Related Products segment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 reflect a more favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs and the benefits associated with our business rationalizations and cost savings initiatives, partially offset by a less favorable product mix.
Operating margins in the Plumbing Products segment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 were negatively impacted by lower sales volume and a less favorable product mix related to international operations and a less favorable relationship between selling prices and commodity costs (including the negative impact of $4 million loss related to the metal hedge contracts). Such declines more than offset increased North American sales volume.
Operating margins in the Installation and Other Services segment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 were positively impacted by increased sales volume and the related absorption of fixed costs, as well as the benefits associated with business rationalizations and other cost savings initiatives.
Operating margins in the Decorative Architectural Products segment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 reflect the anniversary of pricing actions and lower program costs.
Operating margins in the Other Specialty Products segment for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 reflect increased sales volume and the benefits associated with business rationalizations and other cost savings initiatives.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
Interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 decreased $4 million from the comparable period of 2012 primarily due to the repurchase and retirement of $791 million of 5.875% Notes in 2012, partially offset by the issuance of 5.95% Notes. This activity resulted in a net debt reduction of $400 million in 2012.
Other items, net, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 included $3 million of currency transaction gains. Other items, net, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 included $(1) million of currency transaction losses.
Other, net, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 included gains of $3 million related to distributions from private equity funds. Other, net, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 included gains of $16 million related to distributions from private equity funds.
INCOME PER COMMON SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS – Attributable to Masco Corporation
Income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 was $56 million compared with $42 million for the comparable period of 2012. Diluted earnings per common share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 was $.16 per common share compared with $.12 per common share for the comparable period of 2012.
Our effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2013 of 18 percent was lower than our normalized tax rate of 36 percent primarily due to a decrease in the valuation allowance resulting from the partial utilization of our U.S. Federal net operating loss carryforward and from a $12 million state income tax benefit on uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions.
In the first quarter of 2012, we incurred income tax expense of $7 million on pre-tax income from continuing operations of $60 million. The income tax expense includes a $21 million state income tax benefit on uncertain tax positions primarily from the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations in various jurisdictions and certain tax audit closings.
OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Our current ratio was 1.7 to 1 at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, cash of $210 million was used for operating activities. First quarter 2013 cash from operations was affected by an expected and annually recurring seasonal first quarter increase in accounts receivable and inventories compared with December 31, 2012.
Net cash used for financing activities was $65 million, primarily due to $26 million for the payment of cash dividends and $35 million for the acquisition of Company common stock in open-market transactions to partially offset the dilutive impact of long-term stock awards granted in 2013 and awards granted in late 2012. Net cash used for investing activities was $30 million and included $31 million for capital expenditures and $5 million for the acquisition of a U.K. door company, offset by net proceeds from the sale of fixed assets and financial investments of $10 million.

Item 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS	
 
Our cash and cash investments were $1.0 billion and $1.4 billion at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Our cash and cash investments consist of overnight interest bearing money market demand and time deposit accounts, money market mutual funds and government securities.
Of the $1.0 billion and the $1.4 billion of cash and cash investments held at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, $522 million and $572 million, respectively, is held in foreign subsidiaries. If these funds were needed for our operations in the U.S., their repatriation into the U.S. may result in additional U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes. The amount of such taxes is dependent on the income tax laws and circumstances at the time of distribution.
On March 28, 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with a bank group, with an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion and a maturity date of March 28, 2018. Upon entry into the New Credit Agreement, the Company’s credit agreement dated as of June 21, 2010, as amended, with an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion, was terminated. See Footnote H to the financial statements.
Based on the limitations of the debt to total capitalization covenant in the New Credit Agreement, at March 31, 2013, the Company had additional borrowing capacity, subject to availability, of up to $858 million. Additionally, at March 31, 2013, the Company could absorb a reduction to shareholders’ equity of approximately $462 million and remain in compliance with the debt to total capitalization covenant.
We were in compliance with all covenants and had no borrowings under the New Credit Agreement at March 31, 2013.
We have $200 million of 7.125% Notes due August 15, 2013 (“Notes”). We plan to use available cash to retire the Notes.
We believe that our present cash balance, cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, bank borrowings and future financial market activities, are sufficient to fund our working capital and other investment needs.

OUTLOOK FOR THE COMPANY
We continue to make progress on our strategic initiatives, which include leveraging our brands, reducing our costs, improving our Installation and Cabinets segments and strengthening our balance sheet. We are encouraged by the continued strength in new home construction activity, driven by the stabilization and improvement of home prices in many areas of the U.S., increasing affordability and demographics. These factors should continue to drive demand for new homes over the next several years. Increased new home construction activity benefits virtually all of our businesses.
We believe and are confident that the long-term fundamentals for the new home construction and home improvement markets continue to be positive. We believe that our strong financial position, together with our current strategy of investing in leadership brands, including KRAFTMAID and MERILLAT cabinets, DELTA and HANSGROHE faucets, BEHR paint and MILGARD windows, our continued focus on innovation and our commitment to lean principles, will allow us to drive long-term growth and create value for our shareholders.
