About Masco Corporation
About Masco Corporation
Masco Corporation's two segments—Plumbing Products and Decorative Architectural Products—together serve the residential repair-and-remodel and new home construction markets, with architectural coatings alone comprising approximately 31% of consolidated net sales in 2025. The company repurchased approximately 8.5 million shares during 2025 and raised its quarterly dividend by roughly 7% versus 2024, reflecting sustained cash generation. Net sales to The Home Depot were $2.9 billion, or approximately 38% of consolidated net sales, and 21% of total sales came from outside North America, primarily in Europe.
Masco distributes products through home center retailers, online retailers, wholesale channels, and independent specialty retailers. The Decorative Architectural Products segment's BEHR brand carries an exclusivity arrangement with The Home Depot covering the retail paint channel across North America, and the Kilz brand in the home improvement big-box and online mass-market channels in the United States and retail channel in Canada—making that single customer both the revenue anchor and a structural constraint on alternative distribution. Competitors in architectural coatings include Sherwin-Williams, RPM International's Rust-Oleum, and Benjamin Moore; plumbing competitors include Fortune Brands Innovations' Moen, Kohler, and Lixil's American Standard and Grohe brands. Raw material costs—principally brass, copper, zinc, acrylic resins, and titanium dioxide—are subject to price volatility, and the company has experienced higher costs from duties and tariffs on Chinese-sourced components, mainly in the Plumbing Products segment.
Show full overview
The Home Depot exclusivity arrangement is Masco's most concentrated external dependency: the BEHR brand cannot be sold through competing retail channels in North America, meaning a deterioration in that relationship could simultaneously eliminate revenue and foreclose alternative retail distribution for the company's largest paint brand. The 10-K states the loss of Home Depot segment sales would have a material adverse effect on that segment and on the consolidated business as a whole. In April 2026, Masco disclosed via Form 8-K the departure of Jai Shah, Group President, Plumbing and Wellness, effective July 3, 2026, with no successor announced.
