This top-line performance, along with the flexibility of our manufacturing network and further progress on our three strategic initiatives helped us expand our adjusted EBITDA margin year-over-year, despite overall softer end market demand,” said Dave Banyard, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our strong free cash flow generation in this environment has given management and our Board of Directors confidence in our ability to begin returning value directly to shareholders. Accordingly, I am pleased to announce that our Board of Directors has approved a new share repurchase program allowing the Company to purchase up to

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in
We use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, incremental or decremental adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, free cash flow, and net debt, which are all non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We evaluate the performance of our business based on income before income taxes, but also look to EBITDA as a performance evaluation measure because interest expense is related to corporate functions, as opposed to operations. For that reason, we believe EBITDA is a useful metric to investors in evaluating our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by removing the impact of non-operational results and special items from EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Incremental or decremental adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as the period-over-period dollar change in adjusted EBITDA divided by the period-over-period dollar change in net sales. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is a measure of our diluted earnings per share excluding non-operational results and special items. These non-GAAP measures are useful to investors as they are representative of our core operations and are used in the management of our business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance.
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is a useful measure to investors because it is a meaningful indicator of cash generated from operating activities available for the execution of our business strategy, and is used in the management of our business, including decisions concerning the allocation of resources and assessment of performance. Net debt is defined as total balance sheet debt less cash and cash equivalents. We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides a measure to compare debt less cash and cash equivalents across periods on a consistent basis.
As required by SEC rules, see the financial statement section of this earnings release for detailed reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We have not provided a reconciliation of our fiscal 2023 adjusted EBITDA guidance because at this time we cannot reasonably predict or quantify many of the adjustments that will ultimately constitute the primary differences between our fiscal 2023 adjusted EBITDA on the one hand and our fiscal 2023 EBITDA and GAAP net income on the other. Accordingly, a reconciliation of such measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

TICK LEGEND:
[1] Prior to the separation from Fortune Brands in Q4 2022, our historical consolidated financial statements included expense allocations for certain corporate functions performed on our behalf by Fortune Brands, including information technology, finance, executive, human resources, supply chain, internal audit and legal services. As a standalone public company, we expect that the costs we incur on a standalone basis for such expenses previously allocated to us by Fortune Brands and new costs relating to our public company reporting and compliance obligations will be less than the expense allocations from Fortune Brands within our historical financial statements.
The costs of MasterBrand we plan to incur are based on our expected organizational structure and expected cost structure as a standalone company. In order to determine the impact of the synergies and dissynergies, MasterBrand prepared a detailed assessment of personnel costs based on the estimated resources and associated costs required as a baseline to stand up MasterBrand as a standalone company.
In addition to personnel costs, estimated nonpersonnel third party support costs in each function were considered, which included business support functions and corporate overhead charges previously shared with Fortune Brands. Estimated non personnel third party support costs were determined by estimating third party spend in each function, and include the costs associated with outside services supporting information technology, finance, executive, human resources, supply chain, internal audit and legal services. This process was used by all functions resulting in expected net cost savings when compared to the corporate allocations from Fortune Brands included in the historical financial statements.
[2] Separation costs represent one-time costs incurred directly by MasterBrand related to the separation from Fortune Brands.
[3] Restructuring adjustments are recoveries of previously recorded restructuring charges during the thirteen week period ended March 26, 2023, mainly due to changes in estimate of accruals recorded in prior periods. The restructuring charges recorded in prior periods consist mainly of workforce reduction costs.
[4] Restructuring-related adjustments are recoveries of previously recorded restructuring-related charges during the thirteen week period ended March 26, 2023, mainly due to changes in estimate of accruals recorded in prior periods. Restructuring-related charges are directly related to restructuring initiatives that cannot be reported as restructuring under GAAP. Such costs may include losses on disposal of inventories, trade receivables allowances from exiting product lines, accelerated depreciation expense, write off of displays from exiting a customer relationship and the losses on the sale of closed facilities.
[5] In order to calculate Adjusted Net Income, each of the items described in Items [1] - [4] above were tax effected based upon the effective tax rates for the respective periods. The effective tax rate was calculated by dividing income tax expense by income before taxes for the respective periods.
