Certain information included in this Quarterly Report is forward-looking, including within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and involves risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements cover all matters which are not historical facts and include, without limitation, statements or guidance regarding or relating to our future financial position, results of operations and growth, plans and objectives for the future including our capabilities and priorities, risks associated with changes in global and regional economic, market and political conditions, ability to manage supply chain challenges, ability to manage the impact of product price fluctuations, our financial condition and liquidity, legal or regulatory changes, and other statements concerning the success of our business and strategies.

• failure to rapidly identify or effectively respond to direct and/or end customers’ wants, expectations or trends, including costs and potential problems associated with new or upgraded information technology systems or our ability to timely deploy new omni-channel capabilities;

• decreased demand for our products as a result of operating in highly competitive industries and the impact of declines in the residential and non‐residential markets;

• our indebtedness and changes in our credit ratings and outlook;

• fluctuations in product prices (e.g., commodity-priced materials, inflation/deflation) and foreign currency;

• funding risks related to our defined benefit pension plans;

• legal proceedings in the course of our business as well as failure to comply with domestic and foreign laws, regulations and standards, as those laws, regulations and standards or interpretations and enforcement thereof may change, or the occurrence of unforeseen developments such as litigation, investigations, governmental proceedings or enforcement actions;

• our failure to comply with the obligations associated with being a public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange and London Stock Exchange and the costs associated therewith;

• the costs and risk exposure relating to environmental, social and governance matters, including sustainability issues, regulatory or legal requirements, and disparate stakeholder expectations;

• adverse impacts caused by a public health crisis; and

• other risks and uncertainties set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 25, 2024 (the “Annual Report”) and in other filings we make with the SEC in the future.
