What Fortune Brands Home & Security does

Fortune Brands Innovations (NYSE: FBIN, formerly Fortune Brands Home & Security) is a US-listed, multi-brand manufacturer of home, security, and commercial building products with roots going back to 1892 and corporate headquarters outside Chicago. The company reports through three operating segments: Water Innovations (Moen faucets, House of Rohl luxury fixtures, and the Aqualisa digital-shower business acquired in 2022), Security (Yale and August smart locks plus Emtek and Schaub premium hardware, acquired from ASSA ABLOY in 2023 for $800 million), and Outdoors (Larson doors and windows). It serves residential homeowners, security and smart-home consumers, and commercial building customers via a mix of big-box retail, plumbing and security distribution, brand-leadership enterprise sales, and brand-operated websites across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom/Europe.

The company makes money primarily through B2B/B2C hardware sales of branded products across water, security, and outdoor living categories; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed and is set through channel partners and retail. Underlying technology centers on a multi-year "connected products" transformation, including smart lock platforms from Yale and August (with app-based control, retrofit deadbolt conversion, and voice-assistant integration) and Aqualisa digital shower systems with smart water management. Other inputs into the portfolio include premium decorative hardware (Emtek, Schaub), luxury fixtures (Rohl, Perrin & Rowe, Victoria + Albert), and exterior building products from Larson. Public channels are investor relations, ESG reporting, brand sites, and recruitment, while product distribution flows through retail, distributors, and direct field/enterprise sales.

Financially, Fortune Brands generated approximately $4.5 billion in 2025 full-year sales (down 3% year-over-year) with operating margin of 15.7% (down 120 bps) and Q4 2025 revenue of $1.08 billion. The balance sheet was reinforced by a $900 million senior unsecured note issuance in March 2022. The company is currently navigating a leadership transition: CEO Nicholas Fink departed in February 2026, announced successor Amit Banati was reversed before starting (with an $18.4 million payout), and David Barry serves as interim CEO while an activist shareholder, Ed Garden of Garden Investments, has secured a board seat and is pressing for changes.

• Masco Corporation: Masco's Plumbing and Décor segments (Delta Faucet, Kraus, Behr) compete head-to-head with FBIN's Moen, House of Rohl, and Aqualisa water businesses in kitchen/bath faucets and fixtures.
• Kohler Co. Private Kohler is the largest US competitor across kitchen, bath, and decorative plumbing fixtures, directly overlapping with Moen, House of Rohl, and Aqualisa in premium kitchen and bath.
• LIXIL Group: LIXIL owns Grohe, American Standard, and INAX, competing with FBIN's water and smart-shower franchises globally, particularly relevant given FBIN's Aqualisa-driven UK/Europe expansion.
