Appendix


Additional Disclosures 1 The projections herein are based on a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. See page 2 of this presentation for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in this presentation. 2 The information presented on this slide with respect to the overall US cabinet market and the size of the New Construction, Home Center & Retail and Dealer/Distributor markets represents internal management estimates. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge and experience in these markets and are informed by certain internal surveys, market research, industry publications and surveys and additional sources. Although management believes these estimates are reliable, they may prove to be inaccurate due to the method by which we obtained some of the data for these estimates or because of the inability to verify such data with certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in data gathering. These estimates and any internal surveys informing such estimates have not been independently verified. For these reasons, investors should not place undue reliance on the market information presented. Total market size is estimated by company management at $16.5 billion. Current addressable market opportunity within Dealer/Distributor channels is estimated at ~$1.5B based on internal management estimates. This data is as of Calendar year 2023. 3 Estimate for e-commerce market is inclusive of all e-commerce within New Construction, Home Center, Dealer/Distributor market channels. 33


Appendix A Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin Definition We use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin in evaluating the performance of our business, and we use each in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and as indicators of business performance and profitability. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and identify strategies to improve operating performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude (1) income tax expense (benefit), (2) interest expense, net, (3) depreciation and amortization expense, (4) amortization of customer relationship intangibles and trademarks, (5) expenses related to the acquisition of RSI Home Products, Inc. ( RSI acquisition ) and the subsequent restructuring charges that the Company incurred related to the acquisition, (6) inventory step-up amortization, (7) non-recurring restructuring charges, (8) stock-based compensation expense, (9) gain/loss on asset disposals, (10) change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts, (11) pension settlement charges, and (12) net gain/loss on debt forgiveness and modification. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, is useful for investors because management uses Adjusted EBITDA in evaluating the performance of our business. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. 34

Additional Definitions Free cash flow To better understand trends in our business, we believe that it is helpful to subtract amounts for capital expenditures consisting of cash payments for property, plant and equipment and cash payments for investments in displays from cash flows from continuing operations which is how we define free cash flow. Management believes this measure gives investors an additional perspective on cash flow from operating activities in excess of amounts required for reinvestment. It also provides a measure of our ability to repay our debt obligations. Net leverage Net leverage is a performance measure that we believe provides investors a more complete understanding of our leverage position and borrowing capacity after factoring in cash and cash equivalents that eventually could be used to repay outstanding debt. We define net leverage as net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by the trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth on the following tables. 36
