Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
Overview
The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements of H.B. Fuller Company and Subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10 -Q and Article 10 of Regulation S- X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In our opinion, the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended November 30, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 20 24, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2024 - 03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220 - 40 ): Disaggregation o f Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our effective date of this ASU is our fiscal year ending December 2, 2028. We are evaluating the effect this guidance will have on our Consolidated Finance Statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023 - 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740 ): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires entities to provide additional information in the rate reconciliation and additional disclosures about income taxes paid. This guidance requires public entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. Our effective date of this ASU is our fiscal year ending November 28, 2026. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023 - 07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280 ): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires enhanced disclosures regarding significant segment expenses and other segment items. The guidance requires public entities to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Our effective date of this ASU is our fiscal year ending November 29, 2025. We are evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they are not relevant to the company.
Supplier Finance Program
We have agreements with third parties to provide supplier finance programs which facilitate participating suppliers' ability to finance payment obligations of the Company with designated third -party financial institutions. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, elect to finance one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to participating financial institutions. The Company has no economic interest in the sale of these suppliers’ receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions concerning these services. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under these arrangements. The outstanding payment obligations that were confirmed as valid and remained outstanding as of March 1, 2025, and November 30, 2024, were approxi mately $ 3,478 and $ 5,233 , respectively. These obligations under the Company’s supplier finance programs are included in Accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the associated payments are reflected in the cash flows from operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Note 8: Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 1, 2025 includes $ 992 of discrete tax expense relating to various U.S. and foreign tax matters. Excluding the discrete tax expense, the overall effective tax rate was 26.5 percent for the three months ended March 1, 2025 .
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 2, 2024 includes $ 2,527 of discrete tax benefit relating to various foreign tax matters, as well as an excess tax benefit related to U.S. stock compensation. Excluding the discrete tax benefit, the overall effective tax rate was 27.4 percent for the three months ended March 2, 2024 .
As of March 1, 2025 , we had a liability of $ 15,807 recorded for gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest) compared to $ 15,590 as of November 30, 2024 . As of March 1, 2025 and November 30, 2024 , we had accrued $ 4,769 and $ 4,558 of gross interest relating to unrecognized tax benefits, respectively.
Note 9: Earnings Per Share
A reconciliation of the common share components for the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations is as follows:
Three Months Ended

March 2,
(Shares in thousands)

Weighted-average common shares - basic
54,998 54,702
Equivalent shares from share-based compensations plans
1,031 1,871
Weighted-average common and common equivalent shares diluted
56,029 56,573
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to H.B. Fuller by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the applicable period. The difference between basic and diluted earnings per share is attributable to share-based compensation awards. We use the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of outstanding shares, which computes total employee proceeds as the sum of (a) the amount the employee must pay upon exercise of the award and (b) the amount of unearned share-based compensation costs attributed to future services. Share-based compensation awards for which total employee proceeds exceed the average market price over the applicable period have an antidilutive effect on earnings per share, and accordingly, are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
Share-based compensation awards of 2,140,479 and 1,138,264 shares for the three months ended March 1, 2025 and March 2, 2024 , respectively, were excluded from diluted earnings per share calculations because they were antidilutive.

Note 10: Financial Instruments
Overview
As a result of being a global enterprise, foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates may affect the Company's net investment in foreign subsidiaries and our earnings, cash flows and financial position are exposed to foreign currency risk from foreign currency denominated receivables and payables.
We use foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency swaps, interest rate swaps and net investment hedges to manage risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We do not hold derivative financial instruments of a speculative nature or for trading purposes. We record derivatives as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized immediately in earnings unless the derivative qualifies and is designated as a hedge. Cash flows from derivatives are classified in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships. We evaluate hedge effectiveness at inception and on an ongoing basis. If a derivative is no longer expected to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, is recorded in earnings.
We are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance of counterparties for foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements. We select investment-grade multinational banks and financial institutions as counterparties for derivative transactions and monitor the credit quality of each of these banks on a periodic basis as warranted. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any of these counterparties, and valuation allowances, if any, are de minimis.
Cash Flow Hedges
On January 12, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert $ 400,000 of our variable rate 1 -month LIBOR debt to a fixed rate of 3.6895 percent that matures on January 12, 2028. On February 28, 2023, after refinancing our debt, we amended t he interest rate swap agreement to our 1 -month SOFR rate debt to a fixed rate of 3.7260 in accordance with the practical expedients included in ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform . The combined fair value of the interest rate swap was an asset of $ 38 at March 1, 2025 and was included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The swap was designated for hedge accounting treatment as a cash flow hedge. We are applying the hypothetical derivative method to assess hedge effectiveness for this interest rate swap. Changes in the fair value of a hypothetically perfect swap with terms that match the critical terms of our variable rate debt are compared with the change in the fair value of the swap.
On March 16, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert $ 300,000 of our 1 -month SOFR debt to a fixed rate of 3.7210 percent that matures on February 15, 2028. The combined fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of $ 148 at March 1, 2025 and was included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The swap was designated for hedge accounting treatment as a cash flow hedge. We are applying the hypothetical deriv ative method to assess hedge effectiveness for this interest rate swap. Changes in the fair value of a hypothetically perfect swap with terms that match the critical terms of our variable rate debt are compared with the change in the fair value of the swaps.
On March 16, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert $ 100,000 of our 1 -month SOFR debt to a fixed rate of 3.8990 percent that matures on February 15, 2028. The combined fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of $ 491 a t March 1, 2025 and was included i n other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The swap was designated for hedge accounting treatment as a cash flow hedge. We are applying the hypothetical derivative method to assess hedge effectiveness for these interest rate swaps. Changes in the fair value of a hypothetically perfect swap with terms that match the critical terms of our variable rate debt are compared with the change in the fair value of the swaps.
The amounts of pretax losses recognized in Comprehensive Income related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are as follows:

Fair Value Hedges
On February 12, 2021, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to convert our $ 300,000 Public Notes that were issued on October 20, 2020 to a variable interest rate of 1 -month LIBOR plus 3.28 percent. On June 30, 2023, 1 -month LIBOR rates ceased to exist and the IBOR Fallbacks Protocol published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association ("ISDA") took effect as outlined in the interest rate swap agreement. As a result, the interest rate swap agreement was converted to Overnight SOFR plus 3.28 percent. We applied the practical expedients included in ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform . These interest rate swap agreements mature on October 15, 2028. The combined fair value of the interest rate swaps wa s a liability of $ 30,396 a t March 1, 2025 , and was included in ot her liabilities i n the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The swaps were designated for hedge accounting treatment as fair value hedges. We apply the short cut method and assume hedge effectiveness. Changes in the fair value of a hypothetically perfect swap with terms that match the critical terms of our $ 300,000 fixed rate Public Notes are compared with the change in the fair value of the swaps.
Net Investment Hedges
On October 17, 2022, we entered into a float-to-float cross-currency interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of €307,173 maturing in October 2028. On October 20, 2022, we entered into fixed-to-fixed cross-currency interest rate swap agreements for a total notional amount of €300,000 with tranches maturing in August 2025, August 2026 and February 2027. On June 30, 2023, 1 -month LIBOR rates ceased to exist and the IBOR Fallbacks Protocol published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) took effect as outlined in the interest rate swap agreemen t. As a result, the 1 -month LIBOR leg of the float-to-float agreement was converted to Overnight SOFR plus 3.28 percent. On July 17, 2023, we amended the 1 -month EURIBOR leg of the float-to-float agreement to Overnight ESTR plus 3.2195 percent. We applied the practical expedients included in ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform . As of March 1, 2025 , the combined fair value of the swaps w as a liability of $ 40,299 and was included in other liabilities in the Consol idated Balance Sheets. The cross-currency interest rate swaps hedge a portion of the Company’s investment in Euro denominated foreign subsidiaries.
The swaps are designated as net investment hedges for accounting treatment. The net gains or losses attributable to changes in spot exchange rates are recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment within other comprehensive income. The gains or losses are reclassified into earnings upon a liquidation event or deconsolidation of the foreign subsidiary. Any ineffective portions of net investment hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the period of change. The amount in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to net investment hedge cross-currency sw aps was a loss of $ 30,487 of March 1, 2025 . The amounts of pretax gain recognized in comprehensive income related to the net investment he dge was $ 9,244 f or the three months ended March 1, 2025 . As of March 1, 2025 , we did not reclassify any gains or losses into earnings from net investment hedges and we do not expect to reclassify any such gain or loss into earnings within the next twelve months. No amounts related to net investment hedges have been excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We use foreign currency forward contracts to offset our exposure to the change in value of certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities held at foreign subsidiaries that are remeasured at the end of each period. Although the contracts are effective economic hedges, they are not designated as accounting hedges. Foreign currency forward contracts are recorded as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the value of these derivatives are recognized immediately in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. See Note 12 for the fair value amounts of these derivative instruments.
As of March 1, 2025 , we had forward foreign currency contracts maturing between March 3, 2025 a nd May 7, 2025. The ma rk-to-market effect associated with these contracts was largely offset by the underlying transaction gains and losses resulting from the foreign currency exposures for which these contracts relate.
The amounts of pre tax gains recognized in other income, net related to derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments for the three months ended March 1, 2025 and March 2, 2024 wer e $ 40 a nd $ 5,061 , respectively.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of entities in the customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and countries. As of March 1, 2025 , there were no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Note 11: Fair Value Measurements
Overview
Estimates of fair value for financial assets and liabilities are based on the framework established in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. The framework defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The framework discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The framework utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
●
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
●
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
●
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s assumptions, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
Balances Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table presents information about our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 1, 2025 and November 30, 2024 , and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value.

Balances Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include intangible assets acquired in an acquisition. The identified intangible assets of customer relationships, technology and tradenames acquired in connection with our acquisitions were measured using unobservable (Level 3 ) inputs. The fair value of the intangible assets was calculated using either the income or cost approach. Significant inputs include estimated revenue growth rates, gross margins, operating expenses, attrition rate, royalty rate and discount rate.
See Note 2 for further discussion regarding our acquisitions.
Balances Disclosed at Fair Value
Long-term debt had an estimated fair value of $ 1,974,391 and $ 2,015,468 as of March 1, 2025 and November 30, 2024 , respectively. The fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered for debt of similar maturities. The estimated fair value of these long-term obligations is not necessarily indicative of the amount that would be realized in a current market exchange.
Note 12: Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental Matters
We are involved in environmental investigations, clean-up activities and administrative proceedings related to environmental compliance matters at former and current operating facilities. We have also been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and/or similar state laws that impose liability for costs relating to the clean-up of contamination resulting from past spills, disposal or other release of hazardous substances associated with landfills and/or hazardous waste sites. As a PRP, we may be required to pay a share of the costs of investigation and clean-up of these sites. We are subject to similar laws in some of the countries where current and former facilities are located. Our environmental, health and safety department monitors compliance with applicable laws on a global basis. To the extent we can reasonably estimate the amount of our probable liabilities for environmental matters, we establish an undiscounted financial provision. We recorded liabilities of $ 3,280 and $ 3,445 as of March 1, 2025 and November 30, 2024 , respectively, for probable and reasonably estimable environmental remediation costs. Of the amount reserved, $ 970 and $ 1,055 as of March 1, 2025 and November 30, 2024 , respectively, is attributable to a facility we own in Simpsonville, South Carolina that is a designated site under CERCLA.
While uncertainties exist with respect to the amounts and timing of the ultimate environmental liabilities, based on currently available information, we have concluded that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.

Table of Contents
Other Legal Proceedings
From time to time and in the ordinary course of business, we are a party to, or a target of, lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including product liability, personal injury, contract, patent and intellectual property, environmental, health and safety, tax and employment matters. While we are unable to predict the outcome of these matters, we have concluded, based upon currently available information, that the ultimate resolution of any pending matter, individually or in the aggregate, including the asbestos litigation described in the following paragraphs, will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.
We have been named as a defendant in lawsuits in which plaintiffs have alleged injury due to products containing asbestos manufactured more than 35 years ago. The plaintiffs generally bring these lawsuits against multiple defendants and seek damages (both actual and punitive) in very large amounts. In many cases, plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any compensable injuries or that the injuries suffered were the result of exposure to products manufactured by us. We are typically dismissed as a defendant in such cases without payment. If the plaintiff presents evidence indicating that compensable injury occurred as a result of exposure to our products, the case is generally settled for an amount that reflects the seriousness of the injury, the length, intensity and character of exposure to products containing asbestos, the number and solvency of other defendants in the case, and the jurisdiction in which the case has been brought.
A significant portion of the defense costs and settlements in asbestos-related litigation is paid by third parties, including indemnification pursuant to the provisions of a 1976 agreement under which we acquired a business from a third party. Currently, this third party is defending and paying settlement amounts, under a reservation of rights, in most of the asbestos cases tendered to the third party.
In addition to the indemnification arrangements with third parties, we have insurance policies that generally provide coverage for asbestos liabilities, including defense costs. Historically, insurers have paid a significant portion of our defense costs and settlements in asbestos-related litigation. However, certain of our insurers are insolvent. We have entered into cost-sharing agreements with our insurers that provide for the allocation of defense costs and settlements and judgments in asbestos-related lawsuits. These agreements require, among other things, that we fund a share of settlements and judgments allocable to years in which the responsible insurer is insolvent.
A summary of the number of and settlement amounts for asbestos-related lawsuits and claims is as follows:
Three Months Ended
3 Years Ended
March 1, 2025
March 2, 2024
November 30, 2024
Lawsuits and claims settled
2 4 25
Settlement amounts
$ 4 $ 705 $ 5,704
Insurance payments received or expected to be received
$ 2 $ 519 $ 3,418
We do not believe that it would be meaningful to disclose the aggregate number of asbestos-related lawsuits filed against us because relatively few of these lawsuits are known to involve exposure to asbestos-containing products that we manufactured. Rather, we believe it is more meaningful to disclose the number of lawsuits that are settled and result in a payment to the plaintiff. To the extent we can reasonably estimate the amount of our probable liabilities for pending asbestos-related claims, we establish a financial provision and a corresponding receivable for insurance recoveries.
In February 2024, the named plaintiffs in Rouse et al. v. H.B. Fuller Company et al. filed a third amended complaint in their lawsuit against the Company and one of its subsidiaries, which was initiated in September 2022. The suit is pending in the federal District of Minnesota and seeks damages arising from property damage attributed to alleged defects in grout sold by the Company or its affiliates. The named plaintiffs seek to represent a class but have not yet moved for class certification. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims outlined in this lawsuit. As of March 1, 2025 , we are unable to estimate any possible loss or range of possible losses and have not recorded a loss contingency for this matter.
Based on currently available information, we have concluded that the resolution of any pending matter, including asbestos-related litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.

Note 13: Share Repurchase Program
On April 22, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $ 300,000 of our outstanding common shares for a period of up to five years. Under the program, we are authorized to repurchase shares for cash on the open market, from time to time, in privately negotiated transactions or block transactions, or through an accelerated repurchase agreement. The timing of such repurchases is dependent on price, market conditions and applicable regulatory requirements. Upon repurchasing shares, we reduce our common stock for the par value of the shares with the excess being applied against additional paid-in capital.
During the first quarter of 2025, we repurchased shares under this program with an aggregate value of $ 41,153 . Of this amount, $ 678 reduced common stock and $ 40,475 reduced additional paid-in capital. There were no shares repurchased under this program during the first quarter of 2024.
Note 14: Segments
We are required to report segment information in the same way that we internally organize our business for assessing performance and making decisions regarding allocation of resources. Revenue and operating income of each of our segments are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance. Segment operating income is identified as gross profit less SG&A expenses. Corporate expenses, other than those included in Corporate Unallocated, are allocated to each operating segment. Consistent with our internal management reporting, Corporate Unallocated amounts include business acquisition and integration costs, organizational restructuring charges and project costs associated with implementing a global Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system that we refer to as Project ONE. Corporate assets are not allocated to the operating segments. Inter-segment revenues are recorded at cost plus a markup for administrative costs.
As of November 30, 2024, our three operating segments consisted of Hygiene, Health and Consumable Adhesives, Engineering Adhesives and Construction Adhesives. As of the beginning of fiscal 2025, we reorganized our operating segments by selling our North American Flooring business ("NA Flooring"), previously part of the Construction Adhesives operating segment, and combining our Insulated Glass, Woodworking and Composite businesses, previously part of the Engineering Adhesives operating segment, with Construction Adhesives Roofing and Building Envelope and Infrastructure businesses to form the newly named Building Adhesive Solutions operating segment. All financial results related to NA Flooring have been moved to our Corporate Unallocated segment. Prior period segment information has been recast retrospectively to reflect the realignment. Operating results of each of these segments are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.
The table below provides certain information regarding net revenue and operating income (loss) for each of our operating segments.
