| DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On February 5, 2026, Griffon announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to form a joint venture with ONCAP Management Partners, L.P. (“ONCAP”), the mid-market private equity platform of Onex Corporation (TSX:ONEX), to create a leading global provider of hand tools, home organization solutions, and lawn and garden products for professionals and consumers. The joint venture combines the United States and Canada businesses of Griffon's AMES Companies (“AMES North America”) with the Bellota Tools, Corona, and Burgon & Ball businesses of VNPI Global Investments and Services, S.L. and Bellota Holding AG (“Venanpri”), an ONCAP majority-owned portfolio company. On June 9, 2026, Griffon completed the previously announced formation of the joint venture between its AMES North America businesses and Venanpri. The joint venture, named Veritage Brands (“Veritage”), is managed as a subsidiary of Venanpri, which, together with other affiliates of ONCAP, holds a 57% equity interest. Griffon holds the remaining 43% equity interest and participates in the governance and oversight of Veritage. Upon closing, Griffon received $100,000 in cash, a $161,100 second-lien PIK debt receivable, and a 43% equity interest with an initial carrying value of $118,600. Griffon will accrue interest receivable on the second-lien PIK debt receivable through the date of maturity. Griffon’s investment in Veritage is accounted for under the equity method. Refer to Note 7, Equity Method Investment for further details. Griffon also announced on February 5, 2026 the initiation of a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives for its AMES Australasia and United Kingdom (“U.K.”) operations. On June 8, 2026, Griffon announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its AMES Australasia business to a joint venture it is forming with an investment group led by the management of AMES Australasia with support from Australian financial investors. On July 31, 2026, Griffon completed the previously announced formation of the joint venture. Under the terms of the agreement, at closing, Griffon received AUD $258,000 (USD $180,910) in cash, a AUD $69,300 (approximately USD $48,593) PIK note receivable, and a 49% equity interest that has an initial carrying value of AUD $29,800 (USD $20,896). Griffon will participate in the governance and oversight of the joint venture as a 49% equity holder, while the remaining 51% ownership interest will be held by the investment group that includes certain members of the current AMES Australasia management team. Griffon's investment in the joint venture will be accounted for under the equity method. Based on the carrying value of AMES Australasia as of June 30, 2026, the estimated gain is approximately $123,000 ($112,000, net of tax). The Company will finalize and record the gain in its fourth quarter of 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company ceased its AMES U.K. operations and is currently in the process of liquidating its remaining assets and settling its remaining liabilities. As a result of these actions, AMES North America, Australia, and U.K. operations are reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. Except for certain U.K. assets and liabilities not held for sale, we classified the assets and liabilities associated with AMES North America, Australia and U.K. operations as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025, and we classified the assets and liabilities associated with AMES' Australia and U.K. discontinued operations as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2026. The U.K. assets classified as held for sale relate to inventory and property, plant and equipment that will be sold in liquidation. Accordingly, all references made to results and information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are to Griffon's continuing operations, unless specifically noted otherwise. In accordance with ASC 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements: Discontinued Operations, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component of an entity meets the held for sale criteria or is disposed of other than by sale. In the period in which the component meets the discontinued operations criteria, the major current assets, other assets, current liabilities, and noncurrent liabilities shall be reported as components of total assets and liabilities separate from those balances of the continuing operations except as noted above for certain U.K. assets and liabilities not held for sale. At the same time, the results of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes (benefit), shall be reported as components of net income (loss) separate from the net income (loss) of continuing operations. The following amounts related to AMES have been segregated from Griffon's continuing operations and are reported as discontinued operations:
