Positive Outlook

- Consumer spending in the category accelerates across the world.
- Elevated home equity levels will provide property owners with resources to renovate their residences.
- All of our regions require significant new home construction, and we have grown our participation in this channel.

Challenges Ahead

- Short-term macroeconomic conditions remain unpredictable, and we do not anticipate an industry improvement this year.
- Demand remains weak, and each of our product categories and markets faces unique economic situations.

- In some products, we are seeing raw material inflation that will increase our costs in the fourth quarter.
