Strategic refocusing and organizational changes
Leadership turnover and board activity prompted a shift to focus externally on brands and customers.
Headquarters consolidation and decentralization of marketing aim to streamline operations and improve responsiveness.
Realignment of business units is expected to be completed by year-end, with milestones including improved service levels and cost savings.
$70 million in cost reductions targeted by year-end, with further SG&A leverage anticipated through 2027-2028.
Corporate structure is being simplified, moving resources closer to business units and reducing indirect spend.
Product innovation and market opportunities
Product innovation pipelines are being restarted, with a focus on faster, more impactful launches relevant to customer needs.
Decentralized marketing and product development are expected to accelerate time-to-market and improve execution.
Under-penetrated segments, especially in R&R (repair and remodel), are targeted for selective investment and growth.
New marketing campaigns have launched for key brands, with investments proportional to business size.
Portfolio reviews and selective de-investment or optimization are ongoing within business units.
Operational execution and service improvements
Service levels, particularly in the Water business, are below target but expected to normalize by year-end, with further improvement into next year.
Temporary increases in inventory and premium freight are being used to restore service, with these costs expected to decline as processes mature.
S&OP system issues are being addressed by reverting to core ERP systems and rebuilding teams, with no major new investments planned.
Operational execution improvements and addressing unprofitable portfolio segments are expected to benefit margins.
Focus remains on long-term value creation and sustainable high service, not short-term volume gains.
