Item 2.06			Material Impairment.

On April 23, 2024 (the “Signing Date”), Masonite International Corporation, a British Columbia corporation (“Masonite” or the “Company”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) providing for the disposition (the “Disposition”) of the Company’s Architectural reporting segment (the “Architectural Business”) for a total transaction value of approximately $75 million subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The Disposition is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2024.

As a result of entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, Masonite concluded that on and as of the Signing Date that the assets and liabilities of the Architectural Business meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Masonite anticipates recording a net non-cash impairment charge during the second quarter of 2024 in the preliminary range of $90 to $100 million (the “Impairment”) as a result of the Disposition. Masonite does not anticipate that this charge will result in future cash expenditures. The final amount of the non-cash impairment charge may vary from the preliminary range as a result of a number of factors, including (i) the fair value of any indemnification liabilities, (ii) changes in foreign exchange rates, (iii) the working capital of the Architectural Business upon consummation of the transaction, (iv) the evaluation of any income tax impacts and (v) other assumptions used including discount rates and allocations.


Item 7.01			Regulation FD Disclosure.

On April 24, 2024, Masonite issued a press release relating to the Disposition. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

The information and exhibit provided pursuant to this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section 18, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements about Masonite’s ability to complete the Disposition on the terms disclosed or at all and the size and impact of the Impairment. When used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, such forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of such words as “may,” “might,” “could,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “believes,” “outlook,” “predict,” “forecast,” “objective,” “remain,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “potential,” “continue,” “plan,” “project,” “targeting,” or the negative of these terms or other similar terminology.

As a result, such forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, should not be unduly relied upon, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the expected timing and structure of the Disposition; the ability of the parties to complete the Disposition; risks related to diverting management’s attention from ongoing business operations and disrupting our relationships with third-parties and employees during the pendency of the proposed transaction between us and Owens Corning (the “Acquisition”); the risk that the Acquisition may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect our business and the price of our common stock; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us related to the Acquisition or the agreement pursuant to which the Acquisition would be effected, downward trends in our end markets and in economic conditions; volatility and uncertainty in general business, economic conditions or financial markets, including the impact on the building product industries and housing markets; challenges pertaining to financing and the impact on reduced levels of residential new construction, residential repair, renovation and remodeling, and non-residential building construction activity due to increases in mortgage rates, changes in mortgage interest deductions and related tax changes and reduced availability of financing; the impact of energy and transportation price fluctuations; competition; the continued success of, and our ability to maintain relationships with, certain key customers in light of customer concentration and consolidation; our ability to innovate and accurately anticipate demand for our products; availability of raw materials, price fluctuations and supply chain disruptions; impacts on our business from weather and climate change; our ability to successfully consummate and integrate acquisitions; increases in labor costs, the availability of labor, or labor relations (i.e., disruptions, strikes or work stoppages); our ability to manage our operations including potential disruptions and manufacturing realignments (including related restructuring charges); product liability claims and product recalls; retention of key management personnel; the continuous operation of our information technology and enterprise resource planning systems and management of potential cyber security threats and attacks and data privacy requirements; our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to fund our capital

expenditure requirements and to meet our debt service obligations, including our obligations under our senior notes, our term loan credit agreement (the "Term Loan Facility") and our asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility"); limitations on operating our business as a result of covenant restrictions under our existing and future indebtedness, including our senior notes, the Term Loan Facility and the ABL Facility; fluctuating foreign exchange and interest rates; environmental and other government regulations, including the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), and any changes in such regulations; tariffs and evolving trade policy and friction between the United States and other countries, including China, and the impact of anti-dumping and countervailing duties; our ability to replace our expiring patents and to innovate and keep pace with technological developments.
